Derived Trilateral (without Hamzah) - Bab 3: Tafa''ul (Taqabbul)

1. Bab Tafa''ul

Bab Tafa''ul is the third derived triliteral door in the group without Hamzat-ul-Wasl.
Its basic past-tense pattern is تَفَعَّلَ.
Two features identify it quickly: a prefixed تَـ and Shaddah on the middle root letter.
The example in this level is تَقَبَّلَ.

2. Root and Masdar

The original root letters of تَقَبَّلَ are ق، ب، ل.
The prefixed تَـ is added, and the middle root letter is doubled.
Its verbal noun is تَقَبُّلٌ, meaning to accept or receive.

3. Complete Sarf-e-Sagheer

Recite the complete Sarf-e-Sagheer together:
تَقَبَّلَ يَتَقَبَّلُ تَقَبُّلًا فَهُوَ مُتَقَبِّلٌ وَتُقُبِّلَ يُتَقَبَّلُ تَقَبُّلًا فَهُوَ مُتَقَبَّلٌ الأَمْرُ مِنْهُ تَقَبَّلْ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنْهُ لَا تَقَبَّلْ
This paradigm includes active and passive verbs, Ism Fa'il, Ism Maf'ool, imperative, and prohibitive.

4. Active and Passive Side by Side

The overall pattern remains recognizable; the internal vowels distinguish active from passive forms.

5. How the Passive Past Changes

Compare تَقَبَّلَ with تُقُبِّلَ.
The visible change is:
1. The prefixed Taa and the first root letter carry Dhammah.
2. The doubled middle root letter carries Kasrah.
3. The result is تُقُبِّلَ.

6. Command and Prohibition
