Derived Trilateral (without Hamzah) - Bab 2: Taf'eel (Tasreef)

1. Bab Taf'eel

Bab Taf'eel is the second derived triliteral door in the group without Hamzat-ul-Wasl.
Its basic past-tense pattern is فَعَّلَ.
The main structural sign is the doubled middle root letter, written with Shaddah.
The example in this level is صَرَّفَ.

2. Root and Masdar

The original root letters of صَرَّفَ are ص، ر، ف.
Its verbal noun is تَصْرِيفٌ.
In this lesson, it carries the sense of turning or transforming words into different forms — in other words, conjugating or inflecting them.

3. Complete Sarf-e-Sagheer

Recite the complete Sarf-e-Sagheer together:
صَرَّفَ يُصَرِّفُ تَصْرِيْفًا فَهُوَ مُصَرِّفٌ وَصُرِّفَ يُصَرَّفُ تَصْرِيْفًا فَهُوَ مُصَرَّفٌ الأَمْرُ مِنْهُ صَرِّفْ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنْهُ لَا تُصَرِّفْ
This paradigm includes active and passive verbs, Ism Fa'il, Ism Maf'ool, imperative, and prohibitive.

4. Active and Passive Side by Side

Compare the corresponding slots in the two voices.

PassiveActiveSlot
صُرِّفَصَرَّفَPast
يُصَرَّفُيُصَرِّفُMudhaari'
مُصَرَّفٌمُصَرِّفٌParticiple

The Shaddah stays on the middle root letter; the internal vowel helps distinguish active from passive forms.

5. Ism Fa'il and Ism Maf'ool

The two participles are very similar, so compare them directly.

MeaningForm
one who transforms / conjugatesمُصَرِّفٌ
that which is transformedمُصَرَّفٌ

The middle vowel is the key: مُصَرِّفٌ is active; مُصَرَّفٌ is passive.

6. Command and Prohibition

MeaningFormCategory
Transform / conjugate!صَرِّفْImperative
Do not transform!لَا تُصَرِّفْProhibitive

Notice that the imperative begins directly with the root letter; no initial Hamzah is added.

7. A Simple Map of the Level

Remember these points:
1. Bab Taf'eel uses the past pattern فَعَّلَ.
2. Example: صَرَّفَ, root ص، ر، ف.
3. The main sign is Shaddah on the middle root letter.
4. Masdar: تَصْرِيفٌ = turning or conjugating words into different forms.
5. Active/passive pair: صَرَّفَ / صُرِّفَ.
6. مُصَرِّفٌ is Ism Fa'il; مُصَرَّفٌ is Ism Maf'ool.
7. Command/prohibition: صَرِّفْ / لَا تُصَرِّفْ.
