فِيلَbe said

Example sentences

• فقيل لهم كل العبادات طعام وتعبد هذا دقيق الكيس،

  It was said to them, "All acts of worship are sustenance, and this devotion is the finest of discernment."

  فَقِيلَ — so it was said. The fused front letter gives a 'so/then' link to the reply. The verb is in its passive shape, meaning the speech was directed at them with no named speaker; Arabic marks the passive by changing the inner vowels of the verb rather than adding a 'was' word.
