Example sentence
كَذَا سُمِّيَ الْمَسْجِدُ
Thus the mosque was named.
سُمِّيَ was named
This is a passive verb: the mosque is what gets named, undergoing the action rather than doing it, with no named namer. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the verb's internal vowels, on a doubled-middle pattern, not by a helper word. So it reads 'it was named' with the doer left unstated.
