Lesson

1. Introduction to Bab Tafa''ul (تفعل)

◦ Bab Tafa''ul (تفعل): The third derived trilateral door without Hamzah. ◦ Structural Signature: It is formed by prefixing a تَـ and doubling the middle root letter (Tashdeed on Ayn-letter) in the past tense (تَفَعَّلَ). ◦ Verbal Noun (مصدر): التَّقَبُّلُ (Meaning: to accept).

2. Complete Sarf Sagheer of تَقَبَّلَ

تَقَبَّلَ يَتَقَبَّلُ تَقَبُّلًا فَهُوَ مُتَقَبِّلٌ وَتُقُبِّلَ يُتَقَبَّلُ تَقَبُّلًا فَهُوَ مُتَقَبَّلٌ الأَمْرُ مِنْهُ تَقَبَّلْ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنْهُ لَا تَقَبَّلْ ◦ Recite the complete Sarf Sagheer of this derived verb: ◦ Active Past/Present: تَقَبَّلَ يَتَقَبَّلُ (He accepted / accepts) ◦ Active Participle: مُتَقَبِّلٌ (The accepting one) ◦ Passive Past/Present: تُقُبِّلَ يُتَقَبَّلُ (He was accepted / is accepted) ◦ Passive Participle: مُتَقَبَّلٌ (The accepted one) ◦ Imperative: تَقَبَّلْ | Prohibitive: لَا تَقَبَّلْ.

3. Vocal Shift in the Passive Past (تُقُبِّلَ)

• Track the precise vocal shifts when moving from Active Past (تَقَبَّلَ) to Passive Past (تُقُبِّلَ): ◦ Both the prefixed ت and the first root letter ق (Fa-letter) receive a Dhummah (پیش). ◦ The middle root letter ب (Ayn-letter) receives a Kasrah (زیر) under its Tashdeed. ◦ This results in the pattern: تُقُبِّلَ.
