فقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين صحبوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ،
Some of them said: Perhaps they are those who accompanied the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
فَلَعَلَّهُمُ perhaps they
This is 'so' plus the particle of expectation 'perhaps', with attached 'them'. Like its 'inna' family, this 'perhaps' grips its subject pronoun in the accusative — 'perhaps THEY [are]...'. It voices a tentative guess.
وقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين ولدوا في الإسلام، فلم يشركوا بالله شيئاً وذكروا أشياء
and some of them said: Perhaps they are those born in Islam who never associated anything with Allah – and they mentioned other things –
فَلَعَلَّهُمُ perhaps they
Once more 'so' plus 'perhaps' with attached 'them' — the expectation-particle gripping its subject pronoun in the accusative: 'perhaps THEY [are]...'. A second tentative guess.
ولا تؤخر عمل اليوم إلى الغد، فلعل الغد لا يأتيك
And do not delay today's work until tomorrow, for perhaps tomorrow will not come to you.
فَلَعَلَّ for perhaps
The fa- attaches the reason, and the particle joined to it expresses hope or apprehension, here 'perhaps'. That particle takes the noun after it into the object case, so the following 'tomorrow' shows that ending even though English reads it as a subject.
