وإذا رآه في أثناء صلاةٍ لا تُغني عن القضاء كصلاةِ حاضرٍ، بطلت على الأصح
If one sees water during a prayer that does not exempt from making it up, like the prayer of a resident, the prayer is invalid according to the more correct opinion.
حَاضِرٍ a resident
'a resident / non-traveller,' indefinite, owned in 'the prayer of a resident,' in the -i form. The settled person (unlike a traveller) must later repeat a tayammum-prayer — the example that defines this category.
والغافل لا يرى إلا الحاضر
while the heedless sees only the present.
الْحَاضِرَ the present
This is what the heedless one does see, the object of the verb, so it stands in the object case. With 'the' it names the known present moment; the negation-plus-exception around it makes it the sole thing perceived.
وَإِلَى أَمْرَدٍ حَاضِرٍ تَارَةً ،
and sometimes to a bald man who was present,
حَاضِرٍ present
An adjective following its noun and agreeing with it in case and indefiniteness, so 'present' attaches to the youth before it. Arabic adjectives trail the noun and copy its endings, which is how this links to the youth and not to anything else.
إِضَافَةً إِلَى فَصَاحَتِهِ وَغَزَارَةٍ مَحْفُوْظَةٍ بِسُرْعَةِ البَدِيهَةِ وَالجَوَابِ الحَاضِرِ،
In addition to his eloquence, his abundant memory, quick perception, and prompt replies,
الحَاضِرِ prompt
An adjective, 'ready/prompt', modifying 'the reply' and matching it in definiteness and in the after-preposition case — Arabic makes the adjective copy its noun. That agreement binds 'prompt' to 'reply'.
