ولكن هو لم يجره ولم تجر به العادة ولا هو مما تكلم الناس فيه نفيًا أو إثباتًا
But it has not occurred, nor is it customary, and it is not something people have discussed, either in negation or affirmation.
تَجْرِ is customary
This is a present-tense verb 'it runs/flows', feminine to agree with the feminine 'custom' that follows as its subject, clipped into the jussive by the lam before it. The idiom 'the custom did not run with it' means 'it was never habitual'.

بينا تجري براكبها عثرت به أي عثار،
While it runs with its rider, it stumbles with him — what a stumble!
تَجْرِي it runs
A present-tense verb meaning 'it runs', with its feminine 'it' subject built into the form to agree with the horse. The present tense inside a 'while' frame paints the running as the ongoing backdrop, the steady action that the sudden stumble cuts across.
بَيِّنًا تَجْرِي بِرَاكِبِهَا عَثَرَتْ بِهِ أَيُّ عِثَارٍ،
Clearly, it was running with its rider, it stumbled on it—what a stumble.
تَجْرِي it was running
A present-tense verb 'runs' with a feminine 'she/it' subject carried inside it, here read as a vivid past for narrative flow — the horse was running. The subject is the mare, understood from context, not separately named. The present-for-past is a storytelling device that puts the scene before the eyes.
لِلَّذِينَ اِتَّقَوْا عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ
For those who were conscious of their Lord, there will be gardens beneath which rivers flow.
تَجْرِي it flows
A present-tense verb 'flows' in the feminine-singular form, agreeing with the rivers as a non-human plural treated as feminine singular. So the singular shape does not mean one river; it is the regular agreement for a plurality of things. It opens the relative description of the gardens.
