• مد الأرض وأثبتها بالجبال إثباتا،

  He spread out the earth and firmly anchored it with mountains,

  وَأَثْبَتَهَا — and He anchored it. The 'and' joins a second verb, and beneath it a past-tense causative verb means 'He fixed / anchored it firm', with its 'he' subject built in and an attached 'it' object pointing back to the earth. So one word holds the doer, the action, and the earth as what was made firm.
