وَكَانَ يضْحك النَّبِي
And he used to make the Prophet laugh.
النَّبِيَّ the Prophet
This noun carries 'the' and its ending marks it as the object of the verb, the one made to laugh. The accusative ending, not word order, is what shows the Prophet here as the receiver of the action rather than the doer.
فَقَالَ رجل لَعنه الله مَا أَكثر مَا يُؤْتِي بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِي
So a man said, 'May Allah curse him; how often he is brought to the Prophet!'
النَّبِيِّ the Prophet
This name carries 'the' on its title and sits in the genitive because the preposition before it governs it. It names the Prophet as the one the man is brought to, completing the direction phrase.
