Example sentence

فَأَتَاهُمْ مَلَكٌ فِي صُورَةِ آدَمِيٍّ

Then an angel came to them in the form of a human.

فَأَتَاهُمْ then came to them

This single word is a past-tense verb 'came' with its 'he' subject inside, plus an attached plural pronoun on the end pointing to the disputing angels: 'came to them'. The leading 'fa-' marks the arrival as the next turn in the narrative, and Arabic stacks the object pronoun onto the verb where English would use a separate phrase.
