The fifth word of verse (96:15) is divided into 3 morphological segments. An emphatic prefix, verb and emphatic suffix. The prefixed particle lām is usually translated as "surely" or "indeed" and is used to add emphasis. The imperfect verb (فعل مضارع) is first person plural and is in the indicative mood (مرفوع). The verb's triliteral root is sīn fā ʿayn (س ف ع). The suffixed emphatic particle is known as the nūn of emphasis (نون التوكيد), and is indicated by tanwīn.
