Example sentence
فَقَامَ الْفَضْلُ حِينَ أَخَذَ يَحْيَى مِضْجَعَهُ إِلَى قُمْقُمٍ كَانَ بِالسِّجْنِ،
Al-Fadl rose when Yahya took his sleeping mat to a vessel in the prison.
الْفَضْلَ al-Fadl
This is a proper name acting as the subject of 'rose', the one who did the rising. As the doer it would normally wear the subject -u ending; the marking here is what flags it as the agent rather than something acted upon. It anchors who performs the devoted act that follows.

وما داوم عليه وقدمه وأمر به أفضل مما كان يفعله أحياناً، ويؤخره، ولم يأمر به
And what he persisted in and ordered is better than what he occasionally did, delayed, and did not order.
أَفْضَلُ is better
This is a comparative form, 'better / more excellent', and it is the predicate that weighs the whole relative-clause topic against another. It leads a 'more X than...' comparison, and the 'than' it sets up is supplied by the next word, so this is the hinge of the sentence's contrast.
