Example sentences

• فَشَاهَدْنَا مَجْلِسًا رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ مِنْ عَمْرِوْ وَلَا زَيْدٍ،

  Then we saw the gathering of a man who was neither Amr nor Zayd.

  فَشَاهَدْنَا — then we saw. A past-tense 'saw' with the object 'us' suffixed and fa- on front. fa- here resumes the narrative ('and then we saw'); the object pronoun is fused on as the thing seen, and the 'we' subject is built into the verb. One word holds connector, verb, subject, and object.

• فَشَاهَدْنَا هَوْلًا يَمْلَأُ الأَنْفُسَ إِنَابَةً وَنَدَامَةً،

  So we saw a terror that filled the souls with repentance and remorse,

  فَشَاهَدْنَا — so we saw. The connector fa- 'so/then' fused to a past-tense verb. Fa- ties this seeing to what came before as a consequence, and the verb carries a 'we' ending built into its shape, so the first-person plural doer needs no separate pronoun.
