يَشْرَبُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ،

يَشْرَبُ he drinks
A present-tense verb with its 'he' subject built in, used here in a narrative stretch to report a past action vividly, 'he drank'. Arabic often slips into the present shape to make past events feel immediate. The third-person masculine doer is folded into the verb.
وَإِنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ
And if he drinks wine.
شَرِبَ he drinks
A past-tense verb of drinking with a built-in 'he' subject, the supposed case after 'if'. The past shape inside a condition reads as a general hypothetical, here Englished as 'he drinks'.
فَجَعَلْتُ أُعْطِيهِ الرَّجُلَ فَيَشْرَبُ حَتَّى يَرْوَى،
So I gave it to the man, and he drank until he was satisfied.
فَيَشْرَبُ and he drinks
Begins with the connector 'so/and'; a present-form verb 'drinks' with 'he' built in. Inside this past narration it reads as 'and he drank'. Arabic narrates a vivid past with present-form verbs, which is why a 'drinks' form means 'drank' here.
وَشَرِبَ الْفَضْلَةَ
And he drank the remainder.
وَشَرِبَ and he drank
The leading wa- is the plain coordinating 'and' that strings this clause onto the previous one as a parallel event. What follows is a finished-action verb for a single male doer, the subject carried inside it. So the whole token advances the chain of actions, each joined by this same connective, with the object of the drinking named afterward.
وَإِنْ شَرِبَ لَمْ يَقُلْ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ فَاشْرَبْ مَعَهُ
And if he drinks without saying the name of God, then drink with him.
شَرِبَ he drank
A past-tense verb 'drank' with its 'he' subject built in, serving as the condition after 'if'.
شَرِبَ الْمَاءَ الَّذِي فِي النَّهْرِ كُلَّهُ أَوْ افْتَدَى مِنْهُ
He drank all the water that was in the river, or he redeemed himself from it.
شُرْبٍ he drank
A past-tense verb with its 'he' subject carried inside, opening the apodosis, the 'then' result of the earlier condition. No separate pronoun is needed because the verb's own shape names the doer. It heads what the winner gets to demand.
فلبثت والقدح على يدى أنتظر استيقاظهما حتى برق الفجر والصبية يتضاغون عند قدمى فاستيقظا فشربا غبوقهما
So I waited with the vessel in my hand until dawn broke, and the children were crying at my feet. They then awoke and drank their evening drink.
فَشَرِبَا so they two drank
This again pairs the connector fa- with a dual past-tense verb, 'so they two drank'. The fa- chains this onto the waking as the next step, and the dual ending keeps the action tied to the pair of parents.
