خُفِّيَbe hidden

Example sentences

• وَمَنْ خُفِّيَ عُقُوبَاتُهُمْ سَلْبُ حَلَاوَةِ الْمُنَاجَاةِ،

  And among their hidden punishments is the deprivation of the sweetness of private supplication.

  خُفِّيَ — were hidden. This is the passive of the verb 'to hide': the action is reported without naming who hides it, with focus on the punishments being concealed. Arabic forms this passive by changing the verb's internal vowels rather than adding a helper word, and the doubled middle consonant marks the intensive 'thoroughly hidden' pattern.
