سَلِمَsafe

Example sentences

• اعْلَم يَا أخي أَن العَبْد إِذا اعْتصمَ بِحَبل السُّلْطَان الْمَخْلُوق سلم من شَرّ الظَّالِمين

  Know, my brother, that if a servant clings to the rope of the created ruler, he is safe from the evil of the oppressors.

  سَلِمَ — was safe. This past-tense verb delivers the result of the earlier 'if', with its 'he' subject built in. Arabic answers a condition with a plain completed-action verb and no separate word for 'then he', so the consequence rides on the verb alone.

• ثم بنى لأهل الصلاح ذاتُ ألواحٍ وُدسرٍ فسلموا وغنموا وبحر الباقون كالجزر،

  Then He built for the people of righteousness a vessel of planks and nails; they were saved and prospered, while the rest were submerged like the ebbing tide,

  فَسَلِمُوا — so they were saved. The fused front letter marks the 'so/then' outcome of being given the ark. The rest is a past-tense verb carrying a masculine-plural 'they' subject inside it, reporting that the people came through safe as the direct result of the rescue.
