«وَلَا غَرْوَ أَنْ يَحْذُوَ الْفَتَى حَذْوَ وَالِدِهِ»
There is nothing surprising about a son following his father’s example.
Lā gharwa denies any cause for surprise. An yaḥdhuwa is a subjunctive verbal construction functioning as a nominalized action, while ḥadhwa wālidihi reinforces the act of imitation through a related verbal noun.
The verse offers a metaphorical rationale for pretending blindness in a morally blind world. It is not a genealogical statement about an actual father; the grammar presents “following the father’s pattern” as the idea under discussion.
