Example sentence
فَقَالَ رجل لَعنه الله مَا أَكثر مَا يُؤْتِي بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِي
So a man said, 'May Allah curse him; how often he is brought to the Prophet!'
لَعَنَهُ may curse him
This is a past-tense verb with an attached 'him' as object, but here it works as a prayer or curse against the man, 'may He curse him'. Arabic often uses the past-verb shape this way to invoke a wish, and its subject God is named right after.
