عدم اقتضاء التكرار
The bare imperative form does not inherently demand repeated performance.

If a directive adds “every day,” “three times,” or “whenever the condition arises,” repetition arises from the additional qualification or condition, not from the bare “do!” form.

Compare:
1. “Close the door once” — once is expressly specified.
2. “Close the door every evening” — recurrence follows from “every evening.”
3. “Close the door” — performance is required, but daily recurrence is not contained in the wording alone.

These are schematic illustrations of the distinction. Identifying an unrestricted request and identifying a separate ground for recurrence must remain two analytical steps.
