قال بخير والحمد لله، وقد اشتريت دارًا بعشرة آلاف درهم
He said: I am well, praise be to Allah, and I have bought a house for ten thousand dirhams.
اشْتَرَيْتُ I have bought
A past-tense verb, 'bought', carrying a first-person 'I' subject in its ending. The certainty-particle just before it underscores that the purchase is a done deal.
فتعجب الوزير وقال وكيف اشتريت دارًا في الجنة؟
The minister was amazed and said: How did you buy a house in Paradise?
اشْتَرَيْتَ did you buy
The -ta ending tacked on the verb is the built-in 'you' (one man) doing the action; Arabic marks the second-person subject by this suffix rather than a separate pronoun. So the whole idea 'you bought' lives inside this one word.
قال أخبرته أني اشتريت دارًا في الجنة بعشرة آلاف درهم، فأعطاني عشرة آلاف أخرى
He said: I told him that I bought a house in Paradise for ten thousand dirhams, so he gave me another ten thousand.
اشْتَرَيْتُ I bought
The -tu ending is the built-in 'I' that did the buying; Arabic shows a first-person past subject with this suffix rather than a separate pronoun.

So the man said: I will go to him and tell him that I have bought a palace in Paradise for twenty thousand, perhaps he will give me the same.
اشْتَرَيْتُ I have bought
The -tu ending is the built-in 'I' that did the buying, the first-person past subject marked by a suffix.

فقال الوزير أحسنت، اذهب فقد سبقك الجصاص إلى الجنة، فالقصر الذي اشتريته هو لصاحب الدار، فاذهب واقبضه منه
The minister said: Well done, go, for Al-Jassas has preceded you to Paradise, and the palace you bought belongs to the owner of the house, so go and collect it from him.
اشْتَرَيْتَهُ you bought it
A past verb with the built-in -ta 'you' as subject and the attached -hu 'it' as object, so the one word says 'you bought it', the 'it' pointing back to the palace.
