حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ وَجَاءَ السَحَرُ قَامَ أَبُو سُفْيَانُ
When dawn arrived, Abu Sufyan stood up.
السِّحْرُ — dawn. This definite noun is the doer of 'came', placed after the verb and marked by the subject ending. It names what arrived: the pre-dawn hour. Arabic's verb-first order is why the subject sits behind its verb here.
