• وَقَوْلُهُمْ احْذَرْ شَرَّ مَنْ أَحْسَنْتَ إِلَيْهِ، مَذْكُورٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَمَا نَقَمُوا إِلَّا أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ

  And their saying: 'Beware of the evil of the one you did good to' is mentioned in His saying: 'And they resented it only because Allah and His Messenger had enriched them from His bounty.'

  فَضْلِهِ — His bounty. This is 'bounty, grace' with the attached 'His', a possessive, the bounty belonging to God. It takes the genitive because the preposition 'from' governs it, and the suffix reverently points to God. It names the divine source of the enrichment.

  وَفَضْلًا — and bounty. The leading 'and' couples this second gift to the first, and it too carries the indefinite object ending. The pair 'forgiveness and bounty' shares the one verb 'promises'.

  الفَضْلِ — Al-Fadl. The owning half of the 'father of...' teknonym, carrying al- ('the') and the (genitive) ending that the pairing assigns. Set right after 'father of' with no separate 'of', it completes the byname. It is part of the same stacked naming of the speaker.
