• قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من أصبح معافى في بدنه، آمنا في سربه عنده قوت يومه، فكأنما حيزت له الدنيا

  The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: Whoever wakes up healthy in his body, secure in his dwelling, having his day's provision, it is as if the world was gathered for him.

  حِيزَتْ — was gathered. This verb is passive: the world is gathered up for the person by some unstated agent, rather than the person gathering anything. Arabic marks the passive by changing the inner vowels, and the feminine ending agrees with 'the world' as the thing acted upon.
