جَاءَ زَيْدٌ وَذَهَبَ عَمْرٌ
Zayd came and ʿAmr departed.
Example 1: “Zaydun yaqraʾu wa-yaktubu” gives two verbal predicate clauses under one subject.
Example 2: “Jāʾa Zayd wa-dhahaba ʿAmr” joins two assertions but does not automatically impose immediate temporal succession.
Example 3: In the Qurʾānic reported speech, the divine assertion “Allāhu yastahziʾu bihim” must not be absorbed into the hypocrites’ utterance.
The three cases look similar in containing predications, yet their reasons for joining or separating are different.
