قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَكَا حَاجَةً شَدِيدَةً وَعِيَالًا، فَرَحِمْتُهُ فَخَلَّيْتُ سَبِيلَهُ
I said, O Messenger of God, he complained that he had a severe need and dependents, so I took pity on him and set him free.
فَرَحِمْتُهُ — so I had mercy on him. A past-tense verb with the 'I' subject in its '-tu' ending and an attached 'him' pronoun as the object of the mercy. The opening 'fa-' marks the speaker's softening as following from the plea; one word holds feeling, feeler, and the one pitied.
