فإن العبد إذا وقع في شدة فإما أن يدفعها بقوته أو قوة من ينصره
For when a servant falls into hardship, he either repels it with his own strength or the strength of someone who helps him.
يَدْفَعَهَا repels it
The verb has shifted into its subjunctive shape, the trigger being the 'that' just before it, and it carries -ha (it) as its object: 'that he repel it'. After 'that', Arabic changes the verb's ending to mark the action as a contemplated possibility rather than a fact.
فإن العبد إذا وقع في شدة فإما أن يدفعها بقوته أو قوة من ينصره وكلاهما معدوم في حقه
For when the servant falls into distress, he either repels it with his strength or with the strength of one who aids him, and both are absent in his case.
يَدْفَعَهَا repels it
A present-tense verb 'he repels it' in the subjunctive after the preceding 'that', with the doer 'he' built in and an attached 'it' object. The subjunctive ending marks this as the proposed possibility, not an accomplished act.
فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَدَفَعَ الْبَابَ،
Then Abu Bakr came and pushed the door.
فَدَفَعَ then pushed
The fa- ('then') links the next action; the verb is a past 'pushed' with a built-in 'he'. The conjunction orders it after the coming.
