Arabic vocabulary
مَسْمُومًا is how you say “poisoned” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
مِنْهُمْ إِبْنُهُ عَبْدُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ مَسْمُومًا بِالْمَوْصِلِ،
Among them was his son Abd al-Aziz, who died after being poisoned in Mosul,
مَسْمُومًا — poisoned. This is a passive-pattern word built from the verb 'to poison': it names the son as the one the poisoning was done TO, not the one doing it. Arabic marks this received-action sense by the internal vowel pattern of the form rather than by a helper word like English 'being'. It works here as a state-describing add-on to the dying.
