Lesson

1. What Is Sarf-e-Sagheer?

Sarf-e-Sagheer is a compact map of one verb door. Instead of writing all 14 forms of every category, it shows one representative form from the main verbal and derived-noun slots.
Its purpose is to let you see the whole family of a root in one organized sequence.

2. Bab 1: Nasara Yansuru

The first regular door introduced here is نَصَرَ يَنْصُرُ.

ExampleKey patternForm
نَصَرَmiddle root letter has FathahPast
يَنْصُرُmiddle root letter has DhammahMudhaari'

Its verbal noun in this lesson is النَّصْرُ or النَّصْرَةُ, with the meaning of helping.

3. Read Sarf-e-Sagheer in Blocks

Do not treat Sarf-e-Sagheer as one long line. Read it in connected blocks.
1. Active verb: نَصَرَ يَنْصُرُ نَصْرًا.
2. Active participle: فَهُوَ نَاصِرٌ.
3. Passive verb: نُصِرَ يُنْصَرُ نَصْرًا.
4. Passive participle: فَهُوَ مَنْصُوْرٌ.
This gives the first half of the master map.

4. Command, Prohibition, Place and Instrument

The next block brings together forms already studied in Meezan.

FormCategory
اُنْصُرْImperative
لَا تَنْصُرْProhibitive
مَنْصَرٌIsm Dharf
مِنْصَرٌ، مِنْصَرَةٌ، مِنْصَارٌIsm Aalah

The instrument plurals shown in the source are مَنَاصِرُ and مَنَاصِيْرُ.

5. Ism Tafdheel at the End of the Map

The final block adds the comparative forms.

FeminineMasculineNumber / type
نُصْرَىٰأَنْصَرُSingular
نُصْرَيَانِأَنْصَرَانِDual
نُصْرَيَاتٌ / نُصَرٌأَنْصَرُوْنَ / أَنَاصِرُPlural forms

This completes the main sequence of the Sarf-e-Sagheer presented for Bab Nasara.

6. The Complete Sequence in One View

Use this sequence when reciting or revising the Sarf-e-Sagheer:
1. Active past → active Mudhaari' → verbal noun → Ism Fa'il.
2. Passive past → passive Mudhaari' → verbal noun → Ism Maf'ool.
3. Imperative → prohibitive.
4. Ism Dharf → Ism Aalah and its plurals.
5. Ism Tafdheel masculine → feminine → duals → plurals.

7. A Simple Map of the Level

Remember these points:
1. Sarf-e-Sagheer is a compact master map, not a full 14-form conjugation of every slot.
2. Bab 1 in this lesson is نَصَرَ يَنْصُرُ.
3. Its source-given verbal noun is النَّصْرُ or النَّصْرَةُ.
4. The map moves from active and passive verbs into derived nouns, command, prohibition, place, instrument, and comparative forms.
5. Read the Sarf-e-Sagheer in blocks instead of treating it as one long line.
