وَالرِّضَا and contentment
'And' plus a verbal noun 'being pleased / content', genitive, parallel in the pairing — acceptance of God's decree. A weak final root leaves it ending in a long vowel.
ورضَاهُ بِمَا يَفْعَله بِهِ ويختاره لَهُ
And his contentment with what He does to him and chooses for him.
وَرِضَاهُ And his contentment
'And' plus the verbal noun 'contentment' with '-hu' (his) attached, nominative — the servant's acceptance. The suffix marks whose contentment.
وعزه فِي رِضَاهُ وغضبه
And His might in His pleasure and anger.
رِضَاهُ His pleasure
'Good-pleasure / contentment' with '-hu' (His) attached, genitive after 'in' (a weak ending). The first half of the pairing.
وَالْعِبَادَة هِيَ الْغَايَة الَّتِي خلق الله لَهَا الْعباد من جِهَة أَمر الله ومحبته وَرضَاهُ
And worship is the goal for which Allah created the servants, concerning His command, love, and approval.
وَرِضَاهُ and His approval
The 'and' prefix adds this as the last item in the joined list, keeping the same genitive case as the others. The attached 'his' refers back to God, so it carries the sense of His approval, balancing love and command in one chain.
وَهِي وَإِن كَانَت مَنْفَعَتهَا للْعَبد وَالله غَنِي عَنْهَا فَهِيَ لَهُ من جِهَة محبته لَهَا وَرضَاهُ بهَا
And even though its benefit is for the servant and Allah is self-sufficient from it, it is for Him in terms of His love for it and His approval of it.
وَرِضَاهُ and His approval of it
The 'and' prefix joins this on, and the attached 'his' points back to God as the owner of the approval. The noun pairs with that pronoun owner, reading as 'and His approval', balancing love and approval in one chain.
فصل وَهَذِه الْأَعْمَال الْبَاطِنَة كمحبة الله وَالْإِخْلَاص لَهُ والتوكل عَلَيْهِ وَالرِّضَا عَنهُ وَنَحْو ذَلِك كلهَا مَأْمُور بهَا فِي حق الْخَاصَّة والعامة

فَيَظُنُّونَ الاِسْتِسْلامَ لِذَلِكَ وَمُوَافَقَتَهُ وَالرِّضَا بِهِ
So they suppose submission to that, and agreement with it, and satisfaction with it.
وَالرِّضَا and the satisfaction
The wa- links a third object, with al- making 'the satisfaction' definite. It continues the list of things they wrongly suppose, and it leads into a following preposition that will name what the satisfaction is with, completing the phrase.
