He occupied it with matters that relate to his knowledge,

يَشْغَلُهَا occupy it

A present-tense verb with -ha ('it') attached as its object, sitting under the preceding kana, so it reads as habitual past, 'he would fill it'. The -ha points back to the brief moments mentioned earlier, naming what he occupied. Tracking that referent is part of reading the line.
