  وَرُوِيَ — and it was narrated to us. The 'and' is a prefix; the verb itself is in the passive, its inner vowels reshaped so it means 'it was narrated' with no named teller. Arabic marks the passive by changing the vowels inside the verb rather than adding a helper word, the standard impersonal opening of a transmission chain.

  I came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and by then the whole group had been given to drink.

  رُوِيَ — had been given to drink. This is a passive verb: the group did not give drink, they were given drink, the doing falling on them. Arabic marks the passive not with a helper like 'was' but by changing the vowels inside the verb, so it looks close to its active twin yet flips the role. Here it tells us the whole company had already been served.

  To what was reported about the rebellious among the jinn.

  روى — was reported. This is the passive form of the verb: the reporting was done to the material rather than by it, and no doer is named. Arabic does not add a helper like English 'was'; it signals the passive by changing the vowels inside the verb itself, which is why it looks close to its active twin. Its hidden subject is the 'what' just before, so it reads as 'which was reported'.

  And it was narrated that Iblis came to Jesus, peace be upon him.

  وَرُوِيَ — and it was narrated. This verb is passive: the vowel pattern inside it has been changed so the action is something done to the report rather than by a named teller, which is why English needs 'was narrated'. The leading wa- simply hooks this sentence onto the previous one as a new item in the chain of narration.
