صَلَّى blessed
Part of the fixed blessing after the Prophet's name: a past-tense verb meaning 'has blessed', with God named just after. It opens the honorific formula.
وَلَا صَبْرُ لَهُ عَنْ دَاعِيِ هَوَاهُ إِلَى اِرْتِكَابِ مَا نُهِىَ عَنْهُ
And he has no patience to resist the urging of his desire to commit what he was forbidden to do.
نُهِىَ was forbidden
This is the passive form of the verb: the deed 'was forbidden' rather than someone actively forbidding here. Arabic marks the passive by shifting the inner vowels of the verb, not by adding a helper word like 'was'. The one who did the forbidding is left unnamed, the normal effect of the passive.
