  and not to any of His creatures,

  خَلْقِهِ — of His creation. A noun closed by '-hi' (His), the possessor glued to its end, sitting in the form the preposition before it requires. The suffix points back to God, so 'His creation' is built into the noun, naming the whole the 'anyone' belongs to.

• وَكَانَ الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ، فَأَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ فِي خَلْقِ دَابَّتِي وَجَارِيَتِي

  Al-Fudayl ibn Iyad used to say: I do disobey God, and I perceive that in the nature of my mount and my female servant.

  خَلْقِ — creation of. A noun, 'make-up / nature', in the 'of'-style ending because the preposition before it governs it, and itself heading an 'of' chain with the words after it: 'the nature of my mount'. So it is both governed by 'in' and the possessed head of the smaller chain, naming the trait where the change is seen.
