How it is used
Thāniyah is the feminine counterpart of the participle thānin, drawn from the base verb thanā 'to double, fold, or turn back'; the 'second/further' sense grows from the idea of becoming a second thing alongside a first, as in the cited phrase 'he is one — be thou a second to him.'

الثَّانِيَةِ the second
This is an ordinal carrying 'the', 'the second', in its feminine shape to agree with the feminine noun before it. It matches that noun in gender and definiteness and closes the paired contrast of first and second emergence.

The second is abandoning feeding the poor, which is among the ranks of benevolence to the servants.
الثَّانِيَةُ The second
This is an ordinal carrying 'the' in its feminine shape, 'the second', agreeing with the feminine 'trait' understood from before. As a definite noun it heads the sentence as the topic, labelling the second of the four traits.
