  نَزَلَ — he came down. A past-tense verb of descending with its 'he' subject folded into the verb form itself, so no separate pronoun is written. The doer is understood from the surrounding story, which is why a one-word verb can stand as a complete sentence here.

• فَنَزَلَ يَحْدُو بِالْقَوْمِ يَقُولُ

  Then he came down among the people and began to chant, saying:

  فَنَزَلَ — so he came down. The opening fa- ties this coming-down to the previous moment as its sequel, the next step in the action. The rest is a finished-action verb, 'he descended', its doer built in, so connector and verb advance the scene together.

  How many a homeowner have I seen who never moved into his house before he died!

  نَزَلَ — he died. A past-tense verb carrying its 'he' subject inside, used idiomatically for 'he died', 'he went down' into the grave. As the event the previous 'before' points to, it marks the deadline that cut the homeowner's life short, closing the sentence's bitter contrast.

• مُظْلِمَةٍ مَطِرَةٍ وَقَدْ نَزَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانُ

  It was a dark, rainy night, and Abu Sufyan had arrived.

  نَزَلَ — had arrived. This is a past-tense verb with the doer built in as 'he', so no separate subject pronoun is needed before it. Paired with the certainty-marker just ahead of it, it reads as a completed arrival that was already in place when the scene opens. Arabic regularly carries the subject inside the verb like this rather than spelling it out.
