نَهَضْنَاwe rose

Example sentences

• فَنَهَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَنَهَضْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الْغُلَامَ،

  The Messenger of God rose, and we rose with him until he came to the boy.

  وَنَهَضْنَا — and we rose. A joining wa- ('and') fused to the past verb 'we rose', with the first-person plural -na ('we') in its ending. The wa- links this action to the Messenger's rising as a parallel event, and the -na marks the group, the companions, as the doers. So one word ties two clauses and names the plural subject.
