From Reflections on Literal Obedience

فقال الرجل أنا أذهب إليه وأخبره أني اشتريت قصرًا في الجنة بعشرين ألفًا، فلعلّه يعطيني مثلها

So the man said: I will go to him and tell him that I have bought a palace in Paradise for twenty thousand, perhaps he will give me the same.

يُعْطِينِي he will give me

A present-tense verb with 'he' built in and the attached -ni 'me' as its object; the special -ni form keeps 'me' distinct from the subject. Its weak-final root softens the ending.

From The Reward of Giving

وقال الثالث اللهم استأجرت أجراء وأعطيتهم أجرهم غير رجل واحد ترك الذى له وذهب، فثمرت أجره حتى كثرت منه الأموال،

The third said: 'O Allah, I hired laborers and paid them their wages except for one man who left without taking his pay. I invested his wages until they multiplied into wealth.'

وَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ and paid them

This stacks the connector wa- onto a past-tense verb plus the object -hum ('them'): 'and I paid them'. The wa- chains this onto the hiring as the next deed, with subject, verb and recipient packed into one word.
