Example sentences

فِي أَنْ لَمْ يُعْطِ إِبْلِيسُ اِثْنَيْنِ مِنْ اِبْنِ آدَمٍ وَأَعْطَى أَرْبَعَةً
That Iblis was not given two of the sons of Adam but was given four.
يُعْطِ — was given. The verb 'be given', here passive (Iblis receives, an unnamed giver acts) and pushed by the preceding negator into its clipped (jussive) ending, which is why its final vowel drops. So two grammatical facts ride on it: passive voice and the cut-short shape forced by 'did not'.
