مَبْخُوسٌ حَظُّهُ مِنَ الْمَعْقُولِ،
He is diminished; his share of reason is small.
حَظُّهُ — his share. A noun with -hu ('his') fused on as owner, so 'share' and 'his' are one word. It is the thing that is small, the subject of the clause that follows the participle. The 'his' ties the meagre share back to the person just called diminished.
