Example sentences

• إن أول الناس يقضى يوم القيامة عليه رجل اسُتشهد، فأتي به، فعرفه نعمته، فعرفها، قال فما عملت فيها؟

  Indeed, the first of the people to be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who was martyred. He will be brought, and Allah will make him recognize His blessings, and he will recognize them, and He will say: 'What did you do with them?'

  فَأُتِيَ — He will be brought. This pairs the connector fa- ('so/then') with a passive-shaped verb, 'so he is brought'. The fa- moves the scene forward to the judgment, and the passive form marks the man as the one fetched, with no fetcher named.

• ورجل وسع الله عليه، وأعطاه من أصناف المال، فأتي به فعرفه نعمه، فعرفها قال فما عملت فيها ؟

  And a man whom Allah made wealthy and to whom He gave all kinds of wealth. He will be brought, and Allah will make him recognize His blessings, and he will recognize them. He will say: 'What did you do with them?'

  فَأُتِيَ — He will be brought. This verb is passive and prefixed with fa- 'then'. The passive is built by reshaping the internal vowels rather than by adding a helper word like English 'is/was', so the man is the one acted upon - he is brought, not the bringer, and the actual doer is left unnamed. The fa- marks the next step in the sequence, moving the story from his earthly wealth to his being summoned for reckoning.
