عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ

From Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

ٱللَّهُ Allah

The -u ending marks God as the subject of the blessing-verb before it. Verb first, then the named doer — the pattern runs through these chains.

قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتنِي وَرَجَوْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْك وَلَا أُبَالِي،

Allah, the Exalted, said: "O son of Adam! As long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.

ٱللَّهُ Allah

The -u marks God as the speaker. From here the quotation runs in God's own voice, so watch the verbs shift into first-person 'I'.

From The Vastness of God's Mercy

فقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين صحبوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ،

Some of them said: Perhaps they are those who accompanied the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

ٱللَّهِ of Allah

This completes 'the Messenger of Allah', in the genitive as owner. The owner-noun closes the possessive begun by 'Messenger'.

Some of them said: Perhaps they are those who accompanied the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

ٱللَّهُ be upon

This is the subject of the blessing-verb, 'God', landing after its verb as Arabic word order allows — 'may GOD bless'. The nominative ending marks the one invoked to bless.

وقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين ولدوا في الإسلام، فلم يشركوا بالله شيئاً وذكروا أشياء

and some of them said: Perhaps they are those born in Islam who never associated anything with Allah – and they mentioned other things –

بِٱللَّهِ with Allah

This is 'with' plus 'Allah' — the verb of ascribing-partners takes its object through this 'bi-': 'associate [anything] WITH God'. The little word is essential to the verb's sense. It governs the genitive.

فقام عكاشة بن محصن فقال ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم،

Ukasha bin Mihsan stood up and said: 'Pray to Allah to make me one of them,'

ٱللَّهَ to Allah

This is the object of 'call upon', in the accusative — God. The verb of supplication grabs its object directly, with no preposition: 'pray [to] God'. The accusative marks the One invoked.

From Those Who Enter Without Account

ثم قام رجل آخر فقال ادع الله أن يجعلني منهم

Then another man stood up and said: 'Pray to Allah to make me one of them.'

ٱللَّهَ to Allah

Object of 'call upon', in the accusative — God, invoked directly with no preposition. The accusative marks the One prayed to.

وعلى عثمان الذي بابنتي رسول الله حبي،

And upon Uthman, who is my beloved by the two daughters of the Messenger of Allah.

ٱللَّهِ of Allah

This divine name closes the possessive pairing as the final owner, 'of Allah'. Arabic places the owning name directly after the owned noun, and as the possessor it carries the -i ending of that slot.
