LessonsSupplementary Practice 29 — Comparative Rhetoric of Sūrat al-Infiṭār and Sūrat al-InshiqāqQuiz

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ ۞ فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا ۞ وَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ مَسْرُورًا
As for the one who is given the record in the right hand, that person will receive an easy reckoning and return joyfully to family. (84:7–9)

“Fa-ammā ... fa-sawfa” structures an explicit division and its result. The passive “ūtiya” focuses attention on the recipient's fate rather than the agent of giving. “Ḥisāban” is a cognate accusative, and “yasīran” its qualifying adjective.

“Masrūran” marks the person's circumstantial state. The progression from easy accounting to joyful return presents the latter as an outcome. Wāw brings together related yet distinct assertions, not necessarily a substitution of one for the other.
