So he killed him, completing a hundred.
مِائَةً — a hundred. This is 'a hundred', the object of 'completed', in the accusative — 'completed... a hundred'. The accusative marks it as the total he brought to fullness. With the monk, the tally reaches one hundred.

فدل على رجل عالم فقال إنه قتل مائة نفس فهل له من توبة؟
He was directed to a scholar and said, 'He has killed a hundred people; is there repentance for him?'
مِائَةَ — a hundred. This is 'a hundred', the object of 'killed', and it heads a possessive with the counted noun — 'a hundred OF a soul'. With 'hundred', unlike the teens-to-nineties, the counted noun goes SINGULAR and GENITIVE. So watch the next word's case.
