مَعْدُومٌ are absent
The predicate 'nonexistent/absent', equated with the dual subject 'both'. It is singular in shape here, the standard way Arabic lets a predicate agree with a single combined idea, and says both options are lacking.
وهو الناصر فإن العبد إذا وقع في شدة فإما أن يدفعها بقوته أو قوة من ينصره وكلاهما معدوم في حقه
He is the helper, for when the servant falls into distress, he may either repel it with his own strength or with the strength of someone who helps him; both of these are absent in his case.
مَعْدُومٌ are absent
This is a passive participle, 'made-absent / non-existent', used as the predicate of the 'both are absent' sentence. It describes the two options as receiving the state of being unavailable rather than doing anything. Built from a verb, the participle form lets it stand as the completing adjective of the equational clause.
