Example sentence

الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرْتُ ذُكِرُوا وَإِذَا ذُكِرُوا ذُكِرْتُ،

Those who, when I am mentioned, are mentioned; and when they are mentioned, I am mentioned.

ذُكِرُوا they are mentioned

Same passive verb shifted to a plural subject: the -u ending makes it 'they', and they too are the receivers of the mentioning, not the doers. Notice the parallel with the previous verb is the whole point of the sentence, the form mirrors the reciprocity of the idea. Arabic marks all of this by vowel pattern plus ending, with no separate words.

ذُكِرُوا they are mentioned

This repeats the plural passive verb 'they are mentioned', the subjects again receiving the action rather than performing it. Its placement before the matching first-person verb is deliberate, building the reciprocal pairing the sentence is about. The plural subject is carried entirely in the verb's ending.
