وسألتَني أن أختصره لك وأنتقي محاسنه،
You asked me to abridge it for you and to select its beauties.
أَخْتَصِرَهُ — I abridge it. A present-tense verb pushed into its subjunctive ending by the 'to' particle before it, with 'I' as subject and 'it' attached as object: 'that I abridge it'. The clipped final vowel is the mark of that subjunctive trigger.
