The clause wa-bullightahā begins with wāw, but classifying that wāw as an ordinary coordination of two parallel reports would misstate the utterance. The main clause reports an effect of old age; the inserted clause prays for the listener.
A wāw must be understood through the speech act and syntactic relation of the words it introduces. The analysis thus connects iʿtirāḍ with the earlier study of faṣl and waṣl.

Iʿtirāḍ and the Relative Measure of Ījāz and Iṭnāb — Concluding Volume 1
The clause wa-bullightahā begins with wāw, but classifying that wāw as an ordinary coordination of two parallel reports would misstate the utterance. The main clause reports an effect of old age; the inserted clause prays for the listener.
A wāw must be understood through the speech act and syntactic relation of the words it introduces. The analysis thus connects iʿtirāḍ with the earlier study of faṣl and waṣl.
