مهلا فَأن ذمّ الروافض قد فار
Wait, for indeed the rage of the dissenters has boiled over.
ذَمَّ the criticism
Because the emphatic particle precedes it, this noun, the subject in meaning, wears the accusative '-a' rather than the usual subject ending. It heads an 'of' pairing, 'the censure of the rejecters'.
وَبَالَغَ فِي ذَمِّها وَيَكْفِي مَا فِيهَا مِنَ الأَكْدَارِ،
He went too far in condemning her, and the faults in her are sufficient.
ذَمِّها condemnation of her
An action-noun naming the act of condemning, with -ha ('her/it') attached as the thing condemned, so the noun packs both the deed and its target. It is the object of 'in' before it and so takes the genitive ending. The -ha points back to the worldly life being criticized.
