مَعْقُولٌ — tied. This is a passive participle, a 'having-been-done' word, here 'tied/hobbled', describing the camel as in the state of having been bound. Arabic uses such a participle to capture the result of an action as a lasting condition. It tells you the camel was already restrained when he leapt on.
