يَرْوِيَto narrate

Example sentences

• فَمَا حَظُّ الْوَاحِدِ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لِيَرْوِيَ فَقَطْ

  As for any one of them, his lot is only to listen so that he may narrate.

  لِيَرْوِيَ — so that he narrates. The prefixed 'li-' here is a purpose-marker, 'in order that', and it forces the following verb into the subjunctive shape just as 'an' does. So the verb's ending shifts to flag aim rather than fact: he listens not as a happening but with the goal of being able to narrate.
