Grammar Rules

Conjunction فَ (and then/so)
فَمَا (Then not) starts with فَ, which means "and then" or "so" — it shows sequence or consequence.
We add "and then" or "so" to show the order of events.
Negation (not/no)
فَمَا (Then not) is a negation word — it makes the next word negative, like "not" or "no".
We add "not" or "no" to negate what follows.

Sahih International
