الِاسْتِعَاذَةُ seeking refuge
A verbal noun — the act of seeking protection captured as a thing — whose '-u' ending marks it as the complement identifying what 'it' is. Arabic often names an action this way, as a noun, where English would say 'the seeking of refuge'.
قَالَ أَخَافُ مِنْ شَيْئَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا اِسْتِعَاذَةُ الْمُسْتَعِيذِينَ وَالثَّانِيُ شُعَاعُ مَعْرِفَةِ الصَّادِقِينَ
He said, "I fear two things: one of them is the seeking of refuge by those who seek refuge, and the other is the radiance of the knowledge of the truthful ones."
اِسْتِعَاذَةُ the seeking of refuge
A verbal noun, freezing the act of seeking-refuge into a thing, here standing in the subject case as the predicate that says what the first feared thing is. It heads a possessive pairing with 'those who seek refuge' that follows. Turning the action into a noun lets it be named and weighed.
