وكان رحمه الله أحد المتقين، ومن أولياء الله الصديقين

and may Allah have mercy on him, he was one of the pious and among the true friends of Allah.

رَحِمَهُ have mercy on him

This past-tense verb is a parenthetical wish-prayer, 'may He show mercy', with an attached 'him' object, inserted as a pious aside. Arabic drops such an invocation mid-sentence using a plain past-form verb that reads as a blessing.
