Example sentences

• وَقَوْلُهُمْ مَنْ جَهِلَ شَيْئًا عَادَاهُ، مَذْكُورٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِمَا لَمْ يُحِيطُوا بِعِلْمِهِ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا بِهِ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَذَا إِفْكٌ قَدِيمٌ

  And their saying: 'Whoever is ignorant of something, opposes it' is mentioned in His saying: 'But they denied that which they did not encompass in knowledge, and when they have not been guided by it, they will say: This is an ancient falsehood.'

  كَذَّبُوا — they denied. Past-tense plural 'they denied, called it a lie', the 'they' subject in the ending. The plural doer is folded into the verb. It governs the object that follows through a preposition. It states what the people actually did.

• جل عن صاحبة وولد وكذب القس،

  Exalted is He above having a wife and child, and the priest lied.

  وَكَذَبَ — and he lied. This is wa- joined to a past-tense verb with the doer built in, 'and he lied'. The doubled middle consonant marks an intensive pattern, and the wa- starts a fresh clause shifting from Allah to the priest named next.
