Example sentence

فَإِنَّ الرَّسُولَ يَقُولُ لِلْمُرْسَلِ إِلَيْهِ مَا أُمِرَ بِقَوْلِهِ،

For the Messenger says to the one to whom he is sent what he was commanded to say,

أُمِرَ he was commanded

This is a past-tense passive verb, 'he was commanded', where the commander is unstated. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the inner vowels alone, with no helper word, focusing on the one ordered rather than the orderer.

From The Messenger as Conveyor of Revelation
