Visitors to Baghdad were eager to attend his sessions.

يَحْرِصُونَ they were eager

A present-tense plural verb paired with the earlier 'was' copula. That pairing is what turns a present form into a past habitual reading ('used to be eager'). The plural ending matches the visitors; together copula-plus-present express a settled, repeated state.
