The Chapter on the ‘AṬF

The Ḥurūf al-‘Aṭf (conjunctions) are ten, and they are:

الواو              (and)

الفاء              (shortly/immediately thereafter)

ثُمّ                 (a while thereafter)

أوْ                 (or)

أمْ                 (or)

إمَّا                (either/or)

بلْ                (rather/instead)

لاَ                 (not)

لكنْ              (but), and

حتّى              (up to including/even), in some places[56] .

If you use them (i.e. these conjunctions) to conjoin (a word) to something that is Marfū‘, then you make (that word also) Marfū‘, or to something that is Manṣūb, then you make (it) Manṣūb, or to something that is Makhfūḍ, then you make (it also) Makhfūḍ, or to something that is Majzūm, then you make (it also) Majzūm. You say (for example):

قام زيدٌ وعمروٌ                                     (Zayd and‘Amr came)

رأيت زيداً وعمراً                       (I saw Zayd and‘Amr )

مررت بزيدٍ وعمروٍ                     (I passed by Zayd and‘Amr )

زيد لم يقمْ ولميقعدْ [57]                 (Zayd din not stand andhe did not sit )
