  Thus, naming was placed in fixed locations: over food, when entering and exiting, over the knife, pen, and keyboard; to teach that every action begins with Allah and ends with Him.

• ومثل هذا كمثل من أكل طعامًا لذيذًا وهو مسموم،

  And this is like someone who ate delicious food that was poisoned,

  طَعَامًا — food. This is the object of 'ate', so it stands in the object case, indefinite without 'the', meaning 'some food'. Its indefiniteness lets the following adjectives pile on to describe it.

• فإن كان لا محالة، فثلث لطعامه، وثلث لشرابه، وثلث لنفسه

  If it is unavoidable, then a third for his food, a third for his drink, and a third for his breath.

  لِطَعَامِهِ — for his food. This is the 'li-' meaning 'for' joined to 'his food', forcing the genitive and assigning the first third to eating. The attached 'his' ties the portion to the person.

• وَلِهَذَا كَانَ الله أَشد فَرحا بتوبة العَبْد من الفاقد لراحلته عَلَيْهَا طَعَامه وَشَرَابه فِي ارْض دوية ملهكة إِذا نَام آيسا مِنْهَا ثمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَوَجَدَهَا

  And for this reason, Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His servant than one who finds his lost mount, upon it his food and drink, in a barren, dangerous land after sleeping in despair of it, then waking to find it.

  طَعَامُهُ — his food. This noun pairs with the attached 'his' as its owner, reading 'his food', the food belonging to the lost man. Its plain subject ending marks it as the thing being said to be on the mount, the topic of this small clause.
