وَرَوَى and he narrated

And sifted the milk through the sieve of kindness and provided nourishment.
رَوَى and provided
A past-tense verb with a built-in 'he' subject, reporting a completed act of giving drink or nourishment. The understood subject is God, and the singular masculine form matches that divine doer carried inside the verb.
وقد روى الطَّبَرَانِيّ فِي كتاب الدُّعَاء عَن النَّبِي قَالَ
And Al-Tabarani narrated in the Book of Supplication from the Prophet who said
رَوَى he narrated
A past-tense verb with its 'he' subject built in, here meaning the act of relating a report. Its named subject comes next in the usual verb-before-subject order, and its object 'it' was given earlier.
وَقَد رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ فِي صَحِيحه عَن عمر بن الْخطاب
Al-Bukhari narrated it in his Sahih from Umar ibn al-Khattab.
رَوَاهُ narrated it
This is a past-tense verb with its 'he' subject built in, plus an attached 'it' as the object, so one word says 'he related it'. The object points back to the report being narrated; the named narrator follows next.
قَالَ أَرِهَا عَنِّي رَوَى اللَّهُ عَنكَ أَوْزَارَكَ
He said, "Tell her from me: may God remove your burdens from you."
رُوِيَ may He remove
A prayer verb invoking God to act, here 'may He remove', opening a blessing-formula. It is the wish-verb that the divine name after it serves as subject of.
قَالَ فَلَعَلِّي إِنْ عَدَلَتْ فِي قِسْمَتِهَا أَنْ يَقُولَ بَعْضٌ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُرْزَقْ مِنْهَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْدِلْ فِي قِسْمَتِهَا فَيَأْثَمُ أَرُوْهَا عَنِّي رَوَى اللَّهُ عَنكَ أَوْزَارُكَ
He said, "So perhaps if she were just in dividing it, some of those who were not provided from it might say that he did not act fairly in dividing it, and so he sins. Keep it away from me. May God relieve you of your burdens."
رَوَى may relieve
A past-shaped verb used here as a prayer rather than a report: in supplication this form is read as a wish, 'may He...', addressed about God acting on the listener. The same shape could elsewhere state a finished fact, so the surrounding plea is what fixes the hopeful reading.
أَرُوْهَا عَنِّي رَوَى اللَّهُ عَنكَ أَوْزَارُكَ
Keep it away from me; may God relieve you of your burdens.
رَوَى he narrated
A past-shaped verb whose form is genuinely two-faced: it can state a finished act or, in a prayer, voice a wish, 'may He...'. The surrounding supplication tips it toward the hopeful reading, with the same letters carrying opposite weights depending on the frame.
