From Praise and Petition in Prayer

فأمر بهما تارة وأثنى على فاعليهما تارة وتوعد بالويل والعقاب تاركهما تارة

He commanded them at times, praised those who perform them at other times, and warned of woe and punishment for those who abandon them at other times.

وَأَثْنَىٰ and praised

The wa- adds a second verb, past tense, 'and he praised', with its 'he' subject built in. Coordinated with 'commanded', it continues God's actions; the verb governs its object through the preposition that follows.

From Prayer and Charity

فقام أحدهم فقال بعد أن حمد الله وأثنى عليه

One of them stood up and said, after praising Allah and thanking Him:

وَأَثْنَى and praised

The 'wa-' joins a second verb of praise to the first, 'and he extolled'. Its 'he' subject is inside the verb. This verb does not take a plain object but reaches its target through a preposition, which is why the next word is a preposition phrase rather than a bare noun.
