Example sentences

نصبوا إذا إنتصبوا فنصبت لهم السرر،
They stood firm when they arose, so couches were raised for them,
فَنُصِبَتْ — so were raised. The fused front letter marks the 'so/then' result. The verb is in its passive shape, meaning the couches received the raising rather than doing it; Arabic signals the passive by changing the inner vowels of the verb, not by adding a helper word, which is why no 'were' appears as a separate word.
