خُلِّطَwas mixed

Example sentences

• فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُلِّطَ عَلَيْكَ الأَمْرُ

  The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, "You are confused about the matter."

  خُلِّطَ — was mixed. A passive verb: the matter is shown as something that got muddled, with no named agent doing it. Arabic does not add a helper word like English 'was'; it reshapes the vowels inside the verb itself to flip it from active to passive, which is why the form looks close to its active twin but assigns the action to an unseen cause.
