Example sentence

فَقَالَ رجل لَعنه الله مَا أَكثر مَا يُؤْتِي بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِي

So a man said, 'May Allah curse him; how often he is brought to the Prophet!'

يُؤْتَى he is brought

This is the passive form of a present-tense verb: the man is brought, not bringing, with the doers left unnamed. Arabic marks the passive by altering the vowels inside the verb rather than adding 'is/was', keeping the focus on the one acted upon.
