Arabic vocabulary
لِ+هُ is how you say “for him” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ
We were astonished that he asked him and then affirmed him!
لَهُ — at him. A preposition 'at/regarding' fused with an attached '-him', one word doing the work of two. With this verb of wonder the preposition marks what the marvelling is directed at, here the questioner. Arabic regularly attaches such object pronouns to the end of a preposition.
