Example sentences
عرضت علي الأمم، فرأيت النبي ومعه الرهيط،
The nations were presented to me, and I saw a prophet with a small group with him,
ٱلْأُمَمُ — the nations. This is the stand-in subject of the passive — what was shown — in the nominative: 'the nations'. It is a broken plural, reshaped from its singular. Being non-human, it is the reason the verb appeared feminine-singular.
