فَارْتَطَمَتْstruck

Example sentences

• فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَارْتَطَمَتْ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ إِلَى بَطْنِهَا

  Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, prayed against him, and his mare struck him in the belly.

  فَارْتَطَمَتْ — then struck. The leading fa- pushes the story forward to its result; the verb is a past with a hidden 'she/it' built into its ending, because the doer is the feminine 'mare' that follows. That feminine ending is how Arabic agrees the verb with a female subject even before naming her.
