وَكَانَ شَيْخٌ يَدُورُ فِي الْمَجَالِسِ وَيَقُولُ مَنْ سَرُّهُ أَنْ تَدُومَ لَهُ الْعَافِيَةُ، فَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ
There was a sheikh who went from gathering to gathering and would say: Whoever wants his well-being to last, let him fear God.
تَدُومَ may last
A present-tense verb in the subjunctive shape, its trimmed ending forced by the 'that' particle just before it. The subjunctive is the tell that this lasting is the desired outcome, not something already happening. Its subject, 'the well-being', comes after, so the wish is 'that well-being last for him'.
