فَاسْتَأْذَنَso he asked permission

Example sentences

• فَدَخَلَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ، فَأَذِنَ لِي،

  So he entered, asked permission, and allowed me in.

  فَاسْتَأْذَنَ — so he asked permission. Opens with the sequencing 'so/then'; the verb is in a derived pattern that builds 'ask for X' from a simpler root, here 'ask permission'. The 'he' subject is inside. This added-letter pattern is how Arabic turns a basic root into 'seek/request' meanings.
