فَإِنَّهُthen indeed he

Example sentences

• وَأَمَّا حَارِثَةُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَفْلِي رَأْسَ أُمِّهِ

  As for Haritha, he used to stroke his mother's head.

  فأنه — so indeed he. This stacks the answering fa- (the 'then...' that responds to 'as for') with an emphasis-particle 'indeed' and an attached 'he'. The fa- delivers the comment promised by 'as for'; the emphasis drives it home; the pronoun is the pinned topic. It is the same heavy 'so, as for him, he indeed...' hinge used for the first man.

• فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ

  If you do not see Him, then indeed He sees you.

  فَإِنَّهُ — then indeed He. This fuses a 'then' opener with an emphasis particle 'indeed' and an attached 'He'. The 'then' answers the condition, the particle stresses the certainty, and the suffix is the subject, 'then indeed He'.
