The sixth word of verse (6:125) is an imperfect verb (فعل مضارع). The verb is third person masculine singular and is in the jussive mood (مجزوم). The verb's triliteral root is shīn rā ḥā (ش ر ح).

Chapter (6) sūrat l-anʿām (The Cattle) (6:125:6) yashraḥ He expands
V – 3rd person masculine singular imperfect verb, jussive mood	فعل مضارع مجزوم

Verse (6:125)

The analysis above refers to the 125th verse of chapter 6 (sūrat l-anʿām):

Sahih International: So whoever Allah wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islam; and whoever He wants to misguide - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allah place defilement upon those who do not believe.

	FS 19th September, 2010 Just wondering how do we account for Jawab Shart (the consequence of the condition)? Because the verse is 'So whoever wishes for Allah to guide him, He (Allah) expands...' so this 'He expands' is the consequence of the condition (particle whoever)- csince that would help explain why the verb is in the jussive mood or is it not relevant to the analysis?
