From The Discipline of Foresight

وَلِهَذَا تَرَى مُدْمِنَ الْخَمْرِ وَالْجِمَاعِ لَا يَلْتَذُّ بِذَلِكَ عُشْرَ الْتِذَاذِ مَنْ لَمْ يُدْمِنْ

This is why you see that the addict to wine and intimacy does not enjoy it even a tenth as much as one who is not addicted.

تَرَى you see

Present-tense verb with 'you' built in; 'see' here means 'observe, notice'. No separate 'you' word.

From The Discipline of Foresight

وَلَوْ زَالَ رَيْنُ الْهَوَى عَنْ بَصَرِ بَصِيرَتِهِ لَرَأَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ شَقِيَ مِنْ حَيْثُ قَدَّرَ السَّعَادَةَ وَاغْتَمَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ ظَنَّ الْفَرَحَ وَأَلِمَ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَرَادَ اللَّذَّةَ

If the veil of desire were lifted from the eyes of his insight, he would see that he is miserable where he thought he was happy, grieved where he thought he was joyous, and in pain where he sought pleasure.

لا تُرى سريعًا، لكن المحصّلة خفّةٌ مقلقة

From God's Majesty

فَمنهمْ من رأى الْحَبْس

Some of them proposed imprisonment.

رَأَى he saw

A past-tense verb 'saw / was of the opinion', subject 'he' inside, a weak final root. Here 'saw' means held the view.

From The Night of the Migration

وَمِنْهُم من رأى النَّفْي

From The Night of the Migration

أَتَرَى لم يسمع الروافض الكفّار

Do you think the disbelieving rejectors haven't heard?

أَتَرَى do you think

The interrogative 'a-' (do…?) fused with 'tara' (you see / think) — a rhetorical 'do you suppose…?'. It frames the incredulous question.

From Abu Bakr: First Champion of Islam

وأما إذا رأيناه يتعلم فهل يمنع فيه وجهان

As for if we see him learning, should we prevent him? There are two views.

رَأَيْنَاهُ we see him

Two pronouns on one verb: '-na' is 'we,' '-hu' is 'him.' 'We see him' — under 'when,' it reads as a present case. The verb of seeing then takes a second piece, what he is doing, next.

From Teaching the Quran to Non-Muslims

فإذا رأيت الواعظ راغبا في الدنيا قليل الدين،

If you see the preacher desiring worldly life and lacking religious commitment,

رَأَيْتَ you see

This past-tense verb has 'you' (masculine singular) folded into its ending, so no separate 'you' is needed. Inside an 'if/when' frame like this, the past form is read as a present 'see'. It also sets up what follows as the seen person's state.
