Example sentence
ويتوفاهم في عافية،
...and causes them to die in well-being,
وَيَتَوَفَّاهُمْ and causes them to die
This is a present-tense verb with its subject 'He' built into the shape of the word itself, so no separate pronoun is needed. The form is causative: it does not just mean to die but to make someone die, to take their soul. The ending '-hum' is the object 'them' fused onto the verb, so one Arabic word carries subject, verb, and object together.

فَرَجَعَ فَتَوَفَّى فِي السَّنَةِ الدَّاخِلَةِ
He returned and then died the following year.
فَتَوَفَّى then he died
Again the 'then' prefix chains the action onward, on a verb that despite its passive-looking shape is read here as 'he died'. This verb is one whose form looks passive but functions as a plain happening, so no outside agent is implied.
