فَكَيْفَ يَلِيقُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ وَأَرْحَمِ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَأَقْدَرِ الْقَادِرِينَ أَنْ يُقِرَّهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟
How then can it befit the Most Wise of the wise, the Most Merciful of the merciful, and the Most Powerful of the powerful to approve him in that?
بِأَحْكَمِ the Most Wise
This fuses 'with/to' onto a superlative 'most wise', the front of an 'of' pair, 'the most wise of the judges', and genitive after the preposition. The preposition marks whom the action would befit; the superlative-plus-genitive is Arabic's 'the most X of the Ys'.
فَجَعَلُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ أَيَّ حَكَمًا
So they appointed him a judge among them.
حَكَمًا a judge
This indefinite noun names the office the man was appointed to and stands in the accusative as a second object of 'made him', completing the 'they made him a judge' pattern. The accusative tail ending plus the indefinite 'n' sound mark it as the role he was turned into.
