That the devil did not struggle more fiercely with anything than with a sensible believer.

يُكَابِدْ he struggles with

This is a present-tense verb forced into the jussive (clipped) ending by the preceding negator, which is why it lacks its full present vowel. Though present in form, with that negator it refers to the past, 'did not struggle'. Its subject 'he' is carried inside the verb.
