QUL

The fourth word of verse (4:111) is divided into 3 morphological segments. A resumption particle, accusative particle and preventive particle. The connective particle fa is usually translated as "then" or "so" and is used to indicate a sequence of events. 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).
