Example sentences

• فَكَانَ نَقْلُهُمْ لِمَا سَمِعُوهُ وَشَاهَدُوهُ وَتَعَلَّمُوهُ مِنْهُ دَقِيقًا،

  Thus their reporting of what they had heard, seen, and learned from him was precise.

  وَتَعَلَّمُوهُ — and they learned it. 'Wa-' adds the third item parallel to 'heard' and 'saw'. The verb pattern here carries a reflexive 'acquire for oneself' shading (learning as taking knowledge in), past tense, plural subject, with '-hu' = 'it' as object: 'and they learned it'.
