ونظيره قوله سبحان ﴿لا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلا هُمْ مِنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ﴾
And similarly, His words: "They cannot help themselves, nor are they helped by Us."
يُصْحَبُونَ they are helped
This is the passive form of the verb, carrying the plural 'they' subject: 'they are accompanied/aided', with the doer left unnamed. Arabic builds the passive by reshaping the internal vowels rather than adding 'are', flipping the group from helpers to the helped.
ونظيره قوله سبحان ﴿لا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلا هُمْ مِنَّا يُصْحَبُونَ﴾
And a similar idea is in His saying, "They are unable to help themselves, nor are they assisted by Us."
يُصْحَبُونَ they are assisted
A present-tense verb in the passive, 'they are accompanied/aided', with the plural 'they' as the receiving subject built in. The passive is marked by the verb's inner vowels, so they undergo the (withheld) aiding rather than doing it.
