Mr. Spruiell:
Thanks for the interesting question, which was a pleasant surprise. Here's the hadith in question in Arabic (in case you can parse it):
ÇäåÑÁ åÙ åæ ÃÍÈ
The verb you asked about has no suffix. That much, I can confidently assert. Of course, you can ask an Arabist to be quite certain.
I am acquainted with a reputable translator with whom I hope to inquire further regarding the translation of this hadith.
Thanks very much for the question, and please excuse me for the delay in replying.
Adnan Ashraf
Postscript: In case it may be of interest, at the time of this writing, you can find a PDF file containing this hadith (or Prophetic tradition) if you click on the link below and then select "First 60 Hadith from Provisions for the Seekers (Arabic and translation)." It's the third one.
