يُعْطَwas given

Example sentences

• لَمْ يُعْطَ إِبْلِيسَ أَنْ يَأْتِيهِ مِنْ فَوْقٍ وَلَا مِنْ تَحْتٍ

  Iblis was not given that he should come to Him from above nor from below.

  يُعْط — was given. The verb 'be given' in the passive (Iblis receives, the giver unnamed) and pushed by the preceding negator into the cut-short (jussive) form, which trims its ending. So it carries two grammatical marks at once: passive voice and the jussive shape forced by 'did not'.
