إِضْمَحَلَّتْ الْحِيَالُ فِيهِ
The stratagems against him faded away.
الْحِيَل — the stratagems. A definite plural noun ('the schemes') and the doer of the fading, even though it lands after its verb. Standing as the subject, it takes the plain naming ending while the verb ahead of it stays singular-feminine to agree with a non-human group.
