  أَصْحَابِهِ — companions of him. A noun 'companions' with a single male 'his' ('-hi') tail attached, so one word means 'his companions'; held in the genitive by the 'to' before it. The attached possessor names whose companions they are.

• وَضَمِنَ إِبْلِيسُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ الْوُصُولَ إِلَيْهَا

  And Iblis assured his companions that they would reach it.

  لِأَصْحَابِهِ — for his companions. Three layers sit in one word: the preposition li- 'for/to', the noun 'companions', and a stuck-on possessor 'his' at the end. The li- marks these companions as the ones the assurance is given to, and because the noun follows a preposition it takes the 'of' (genitive) ending.
