  It is a field for gathering thoughts before they crowd the tongue.

  إِنَّهُ — it is. The opening 'truly / indeed' with 'it' attached (pushed into the -a form) — 'indeed it is...'. The emphatic particle braces the assertion about silence that follows: it IS a gathering-field, not a void.

• فأتاه فقال إنه قتل تسعه وتسعين نفساً، فهل له من توبة؟

  إِنَّهُ — 'It is. A heavy emphasis-and-clause word fused with -hu (it), meaning 'indeed it'. It opens the quotation with strong assertion, puts the attached pronoun into the object-style form, and the -hu points to the Quran; English would use 'it truly is'.

• ثم ذكر الأمر المستدل عليه والمعاد بقوله ﴿إِنَّهُ عَلَى رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ﴾

  إِنَّهُ — Indeed, He. This pairs the emphatic inna ('indeed') with an attached 'he'. Inna asserts the clause and supplies its subject as the attached pronoun, pointing to God. So 'indeed He...' is one word that stresses and anchors the quoted statement.

• فإياكم وفضول المطعم، فإنه يسم القلب بالقسوة، ويبطئ بالجوارح عن الطاعة، ويصم الأذان عن السماع للموعظة،

  Beware of excess in food, for it marks the heart with hardness, slows the limbs from obedience, and deafens the ears from hearing admonition.

  الْقَلْبَ — the heart. This is the definite direct object of the verb, its object ending marking it as what is acted upon, with 'al-' making it specific. The heart is what the excess works its effect on.

• وَأَمَّا الْحُمْقُ فَإِنَّهُ غَرِيزَةٌ

  As for folly, it is an instinct.

  فَإِنَّهُ — so indeed it. This stacks an attached 'so', an emphasis particle, and an attached 'it', so it both answers the 'as for' frame and emphatically resumes the topic in one word. The 'so' delivers the comment; the emphasis particle stresses it; the attached pronoun points back to folly. Together they launch the verdict.

• فَإِنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ لَكَ إِشْرَبْ مَا بَيْنَ الضِّفَّتَيْنِ

  فَإِنَّهُ — so indeed he. Three pieces fused: the connector 'fa-' (so), the emphasiser 'inna', and the pronoun '-hu' (he). The 'fa-' links the prediction, 'inna' braces it as a strong assertion, and '-hu' supplies its subject. So one word says 'so indeed he', launching a confident forecast.

  He said: "My Lord has become angry with an anger unlike any anger before or after. He forbade me from the tree, and I disobeyed. Myself, myself, myself! Go to someone else."

  وَإِنَّهُ — and He. Two pieces fused: the linking wa- 'and' plus the emphasis particle, which carries a 'he/it' pronoun on its end. Wa- adds a fresh statement, and the emphasis particle drives home the certainty of what follows while grabbing its pronoun into the accusative.
