The 24th word of verse (5:32) is divided into 3 morphological segments. A result particle, accusative particle and preventive particle. The result particle fa is usually translated as "then" or "so" and is used to indicate the result of a condition. The accusative particle belongs to a special group of words known as inna and her sisters (ان واخواتها). The preventive particle mā stops inna from taking its normal role in the sentence. Together the segments are known as kāfa wa makfūfa (كافة ومكفوفة).

Verse (5:32)

The analysis above refers to the 32nd verse of chapter 5 (sūrat l-māidah):

Sahih International: Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.
