Example sentences
لَمْ يَأْتِ رَجُلٌ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلَّا أُوذِيَ،
No man came with what you brought except that he was harmed.
أُوذِيَ — was harmed. This is the passive: the man UNDERGOES the harm rather than causing it, and Arabic shows that by changing the vowels inside the verb, not by adding 'was' as English does. The harmer is left unnamed, the focus falling on the suffering that, the exception says, always followed.
