When Abu Bakr saw him, he stepped back to stand further behind.
لِيَتَأَخَّرَ — so that he might move back. The li- prefix marks purpose, 'in order to', and forces the following present verb into the subjunctive; the mood frames the stepping-back as his intended aim rather than a finished act. The 'he' subject is carried inside.
