Example sentence

وَلَمْ يَسْتَفْهِمْهَا كَلَامًا قِطًّا

He never asked her anything verbally.

يَسْتَفْهِمْهَا he asks her

A present-shaped verb forced into its jussive (clipped) ending by the 'did not' particle before it; this combination is Arabic's way of saying 'he did not...' about the past. It carries a built-in 'he' subject and an attached '-ha' (her) object, 'he did not ask her'. The clipped ending is the audible trace of that negation.
