عِبَادَهُ — His servants. This noun, his servants, is the object of the leading-astray and so takes the accusative, with the possessor attached at the end. The suffix points back to God, marking these as God's own servants, the very ones the imagined fabricator would mislead.
From: False Prophets →قسم عباده فمنهم الفهماء ومنهم الغثر،

عِبَادَهُ — His servants. This noun is the thing acted upon, and a possessive 'his' is fused to its end, tying the servants to God named in the passage. The word is a plural, and the attached owner converts a plain 'servants' into 'his servants' in one unit, with the pronoun pointing back to the divine subject of the verb.
From: Rain and God's Decree →وَقَدْ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عِبَادَهُ أَنْ يَقُولُوا فِي الصَّلٰوَةِ

عِبَادَهُ — His servants. 'Servants' with '-hu' ('His') fused on, so the word means 'His servants'. The '-hu' points back to God, and the noun is in the object ending as the ones commanded, the recipients of the order.
