جَاءَنِي زَيْدٌ وَهُوَ مُسْرِعٌ.
Zayd came to me while he was in haste.
Jāʾanī is a past verb with a first-person object; Zaydun is its subject. Huwa is the subject of the next nominal clause, and musriʿun is its predicate. The whole wa-huwa musriʿun is Zayd's circumstance.
Unlike the preceding example, this one has no imperfect verb in its predicate. It clarifies that the issue may concern the bearer-pronoun as nominal subject, rather than the verbal or nominal category of its predicate alone.
