وبطنه عن الطعام والشراب،
and whose stomach abstains from food and drink,
وَبَطْنُهُ — and his stomach. 'And' plus 'belly' with '-hu' (his), nominative — again carrying the understood 'abstains'. The list moves to the stomach.
From: The Meaning of Fasting →ومن امتلأ بطنه كثر شربه،
Whoever's stomach is full, drinks more.
