How it is used
Formed by prefixing م to the root on the maf'ūl (passive-participle) pattern of أَمَرَ, so it names the person or thing that receives the order rather than the one giving it. It pairs naturally with a following بِ-phrase naming what was commanded, mirroring the verb's own أَمَرَهُ بِهِ construction.
