That the devil did not struggle more fiercely with anything than with a sensible believer.

الْشَّيْطَانَ the devil

This noun is the subject seized by the preceding 'that' particle, hence its accusative ending; its al- makes it definite, naming the devil specifically. It waits for the verb that follows to say what he did. Its accusative is the particle's grammatical effect, not an object role.
