بَابه his door

A noun carrying the possessive '-hi' (his) on its end; the vowel is '-hi' rather than '-hu' because the preposition 'on' precedes it. The suffix names the owner of the door, reaching back to the man in the story. The whole word is the thing governed by 'on', so it sits in the post-preposition form.

بَابِهِ his door

This noun has -hu, the 'his' possessor, fused to its end, so one word means 'his door'. It is the owning half of the 'threshold of his door' pairing, so it sits in the governed form. The possessor ties the door to the man, and the pairing is built by setting the two nouns together.
