So his servitude regarding the command is by complying with sincerity and emulating the Messenger of Allah.
الأَمْرِ the command
In the genitive because the preposition governs it. It names God's command, the sphere in which this particular servitude operates.
ثم ذكر الأمر المستدل عليه والمعاد بقوله ﴿إِنَّهُ عَلَى رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ﴾
Then He mentioned the matter being evidenced and the return, with His saying, 'Indeed, He is able to bring him back.'
الأَمْرَ the matter
The object of 'he mentioned', so it carries the accusative object ending and its own 'the' for definiteness. Arabic marks a direct object by the noun's ending, not by word order alone.
فالمؤمن يزن الأمور بميزان العاقبة، ولا يغتر بحلاوة الشهوة العاجلة
The believer weighs matters with the scale of the outcome and is not deceived by the sweetness of immediate desire.
الْأُمُورَ matters
The definite object of 'weighs', in the object form, its 'the' marking matters or affairs as a known whole. It is what the believer puts on the scale.
فسلم الأمر له، ورضي بما قسمه له
so he entrusts the matter to Him and is satisfied with what He apportions for him.
الأَمْرَ the matter
The thing handed over, 'the matter', taking the object ending as the receiver of the action. Its 'the' makes it the definite affair in question.
وأمثال ذَلِك كَثِيرَة وَذَلِكَ أَنه لَا يجلب مَنْفَعَة وَلَا يدْفع مضرَّة وَلَا فَائِدَة فِيهِ ومالا فَائِدَة فِيهِ لَا يَأْمر الله بِهِ
And there are many similar examples. That is because it neither brings benefit nor prevents harm, and there is no use in it; and what has no use in it, Allah does not command.
يَأْمُرُ He commands
Present-tense verb, 'He commands', with its 'He' built in, under the negation, 'does not command'. Its subject (God) is named just after in verb-first order.
