• الَّتِي تَعُوقُهُ عَنْ سَيْرِهِ عَلَى هَذَا الصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ،

  which prevents him from walking on this straight path,

  تَعُوقُهُ — prevents him. A present-tense verb ('hinders him') with its 'it/they' subject built in and an attached object -hu ('him') on the end. So doer and object are partly in one word. The -hu points back to the servant, the one being hindered.
