سَحَبَto drag

Example sentences

• قال قاتلت فيك حتى اسُتشهدت، قال كذبت، ولكنك قاتلت لأن يقال جريء، فقد قيل، ثم أمر به، فسحب على وجهه حتى ألقي في النار

  He will say: 'I fought for You until I was martyred.' He will say: 'You lie. You fought so that it would be said you are brave; and so it was said.' Then it will be commanded that he be dragged on his face until he is cast into the Fire.

  فَسُحِبَ — be dragged. This pairs the connector fa- with a passive-shaped verb, 'so he was dragged'. The fa- delivers the next step of the sentence, and the passive marks the man as the one dragged, with no dragger named.
