Example sentence

وَقَالَ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانِ الْدَّارَانِيِ مَنْ صَفَّى، صُفِّيَ لَهُ، وَمَنْ كَدَرَ، كَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ،

Abu Sulayman al-Darani said: Whoever purifies himself will be purified, and whoever becomes clouded will be clouded.

صُفِّيَ will be purified

This is the passive twin of the verb just before it: the person is the one purified, the action coming from elsewhere, where the active form had him doing the purifying. Arabic flips active to passive by changing the inner vowels, not by adding a helper word, so the two forms look alike but reverse who acts and who receives.
