He feared missing the prayer or its appointed time, and his enemy did not attain from him what he wanted.
فَوْتَ — missing. A verbal noun ('the missing/lapsing'), the object of 'feared' in the object form, and it heads an 'of' pairing with 'the prayer' next ('the loss of the prayer'). Arabic compresses 'that he might miss the prayer' into this possessed action-noun. So 'he feared the missing of the prayer'.
