أَضَافَ adds to
This is a completed-action verb, but after the 'when / whenever' it reads as a general 'if/whenever he adds', not a single past act. Arabic often uses the past shape inside such a clause to mean a recurring or hypothetical case. The verb sets up 'adding one wrong onto another'.
فَأَضَافَ الصِّرَاطَ إِلَى الرَّفِيقِ الْسَالِكِينَ لَهُ،
He then added the path to the companion who traverses it,
فَأَضَافَ so he added
The prefixed fa- here is sequencing: it reports the next step in the author's reasoning, 'and then he went on to add'. It is not mere 'and'; it signals a consequence or continuation in the argument. The verb it rides is a completed-action verb whose doer (the author being quoted) is carried inside it.
وأيضاً فنوع الثناء أضافه الرب إلى نفسه، ونوع السؤال أضافه إلى عبده
Also, the type of praise was attributed by the Lord to Himself, and the type of request was attributed to His servant.
أَضَافَهُ attributed it
A past-tense verb 'attributed' with an attached '-it' object on its end, and that '-it' points back to the type of praise just named, which has been fronted ahead of its verb for emphasis. So the topic is stated first and then resumed by the suffix, a common Arabic way of spotlighting the topic.
وأيضاً فنوع الثناء أضافه الرب إلى نفسه، ونوع السؤال أضافه إلى عبده
Also, the type of praise was attributed by the Lord to Himself, and the type of request was attributed to His servant.
أَضَافَهُ attributed it
A past-tense verb 'attributed' with an attached '-it' object pointing back to the fronted 'type of request', resumed here after being placed first for emphasis. The construction parallels the earlier clause exactly, so the symmetry of the two attributions is built into the matching word order.
