     609–632 CE, Qur'an, 38:3:

     وَلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

     walāta ḥīna manāṣin

     while there is no time for escape

• This particle is scarcely used even in Classical Arabic, with only one Qur'anic example. Largely this limited use is due to its grammatical requirements; usage is restricted by three very specific rules:
  • It must only be found in front of a noun, never a verb or particle.
  • The noun being negated must be a noun of time; as an adverb it is placed in the accusative case in the same manner found with لَيْسَ (laysa).
  • The subject of the sentence must be omitted.
