  عَمَلُهُ — his deeds. A noun with an attached 'his', so 'deeds' and its owner sit in one word; the suffix points back to the man named earlier. It serves as the doer of the 'came to nothing' verb, with the possessor tracking to Amir.

• فاسدة كان عمله تابعًا لسريرته لا اعتبار بصورته فتبدو سريرته على وجهه سوادا وظلمة وشينا

  His deeds were corrupt, following his inner self; no regard was paid to his outward appearance, so his inner state appeared on his face as blackness, darkness, and ugliness.

  عَمَلُهُ — his deed. A noun with an attached '-his', serving as the subject of the preceding 'was', so it stays in the nominative subject shape. The suffix binds the deed to its owner, and recognising it as the copula's subject is what tells you the following word is the predicate, not a second subject.

• وإن كان الذي يبدو عليه في الدنيا إنما هو عمله لا سريرته فيوم القيامة تبدو عليه سريرته ويكون الحكم والظهور لها

  If what appears about someone in this world is only his deeds and not his inner self, then on the Day of Resurrection his inner self will be revealed and the judgment and manifestation will be for it.

  عَمَلُهُ — his deeds. A noun with an attached '-his' on its end, the thing the 'only' singles out, his deeds. The suffix names the owner, and the noun completes the restrictive statement that what shows of a person in this world is just his deeds, set against his hidden inner self.
