Example sentence

وقال عبد الواحد بن زيد لو رأيت الحسن، لقلت صب على هذا حزن الخلائق؛ من طول تلك الدمعة، وكثرة ذلك النشيج

Abdul-Wahid ibn Zaid said: If you saw Al-Hasan, you would say: 'The sorrow of all beings has been poured upon him,' because of the length of his weeping and the abundance of his lamentations.

صُبَّ poured

This is the passive form: the sorrow is poured, with no doer named, so the focus falls on the thing affected. Arabic builds this passive by changing the verb's inner vowels rather than by adding a helper like English 'was'.
