Which verb Form is this?

The passage in English AI

Q 37:107, 'a mighty sacrifice'], out of solicitude for us or for him; I do not know by which scale. There is no doubt that sacrificial camels are greater in value, yet they fall below the slaughter of a ram for an offering. Would that I knew how, by its very self, the slight little form of a little ram could stand in for the vicegerent of the All-Merciful! Do you not know that the matter in it is ordered [by rank]: full measure for gains, and shortfall for loss?
