Example sentences
روي في الخبر أن عائشة رضي الله عنها سمعت الحسن يتكلم،
It is reported in the narration that Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, heard Al-Hasan speak,
سَمِعَتِ — heard. This past-tense verb carries a feminine 'she' subject by its ending: 'she heard'. The smoothing vowel at its end eases into the next word and is not part of its core. Arabic marks the female doer through the verb ending.
