However much he went to great lengths to be dutiful to them, he did not repay them with thanks.
يَفْ repay
This verb is a hollowed, clipped form because the past-negation particle before it forces the jussive, trimming its tail down to a bare stub. That shrunken shape is the visible grip of the 'did not' particle. Together they deny that he ever fully repaid, the point the concession was building toward.
