يَحْقِرُهُ look down upon him

التقوى ههنا، ويشير إلى صدره بحسب امرئ من الشر أن يحقر أخاه المسلم،
Taqwa is here, 'and he pointed to his chest.' It is enough of a sin for a person to belittle his Muslim brother.
يَحْقِرَ he belittles
A present-tense verb sitting in the subjunctive ending demanded by the 'that' before it, so it reads as 'to belittle'. The 'he' doer is built into the form, and the subjunctive shape is the audible sign that this action is the content of the 'enough... that' statement, not an independent event.
