Example sentence

وَسُلِّطَ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَعْدَاءٍ

And four enemies were set upon his heart.

وَسُلِّطَ and was set upon

The verb here is passive: the four enemies receive the action of being set, while who does the setting is left unnamed. Arabic builds this passive not with a helper word like English 'were' but by reshaping the vowels inside the verb itself. The leading wa- ties this whole statement to the preceding line as another item in the account.
