يُصْحَبُونَaccompanied

Example sentences

• ونظيره قوله سبحان ﴿لا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلا هُمْ مِنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ﴾

  And similar is His saying, the Exalted: 'They cannot aid themselves, nor are they supported by Us.'

  يُصْحَبُونَ — are supported. This verb is passive: the subject receives the action of being accompanied or aided rather than doing it. Arabic marks the passive not with a helper word but by changing the internal vowels of the verb, so its shape signals 'are helped' while its plural ending carries the 'they' subject inside.
