وَهِي وَإِن كَانَت مَنْفَعَتهَا للْعَبد وَالله غَنِي عَنْهَا فَهِيَ لَهُ من جِهَة محبته لَهَا وَرضَاهُ بهَا
And even though its benefit is for the servant and Allah is self-sufficient from it, it is for Him in terms of His love for it and His approval of it.
فَهِيَ — so it. Here the 'so/then' prefix turns the corner from the concession to the main point, the equivalent of 'nonetheless it...'. The standalone 'it' pronoun resumes worship as the subject, steering the sentence to its real claim.
From: Worship and Repentance →فَهِيَ تَتَضَمَّنُ غَايَةَ الذُّلِّ لِلَّهِ بِغَايَةِ الْمَحَبَّةِ لَهُ
So it includes the utmost humility for God by the utmost love for Him.
فهى — So it is. A 'so/then' opener fused to a standalone feminine 'it', the subject of the clause. The 'so' draws a consequence from the prior point, and the pronoun refers back to the commanded worship.
