وَأَمَّا تَقْيِيدُهُ بِالشَّرْطِ
The verb may also be qualified by a conditional clause.
أُكْرِمُكَ إِنْ تُكْرِمْنِي
I shall honor you if you honor me.
The promise is not unconditional; it is suspended on a corresponding action by the addressee. A conditional clause does not simply answer “whom?” or “when?”; it establishes a dependence between two contents.
Often the intended assertion centers on the result, while the condition defines when that result will apply.
