قَالَتْ فَفَعَلْنَا فَاغْتَسَلَ فَذَهَبَ لِيَنُوءَ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ،
She said, so we did; he washed, then he went to lie down, and he fainted.
فَأُغْمِيَ then he fainted
This verb is passive: he is the one the fainting comes over, not the doer of any action. Arabic marks the passive by changing the inner vowels of the verb rather than adding a helper word, which is how the same root flips from 'doing' to 'undergoing'.
