قلت يا رسول الله لأن أعافى فأشكر أحب إلي من أن أبتلى فأصبر،
I said, O Messenger of God, being well and grateful is more beloved to me than being tested and patient.
فَأَشْكُرَ so I thank
The leading 'fa-' chains this onto the previous verb as the next step, 'and then I thank'. The verb stays in the subjunctive carried over from the earlier purpose-particle, keeping the whole 'to be well and then give thanks' as one weighed possibility rather than a report of events.
وشكرت حتى سكرت غصون ضمر،
And they expressed gratitude until the branches were satiated,
وَشَكَرَتْ and they expressed gratitude
A past-tense verb carrying its own feminine-plural 'they' subject inside it; no separate pronoun is written. The feminine ending agrees with the branches mentioned later, since Arabic treats a non-human plural as grammatically feminine, and that agreement is how the verb is bound to its real doer further down the line.
فَاذَكُرْ نِعْمَةً مَا شَكَرْتَ،
So remember the blessing you did not give thanks for.
شَكَرْتَ you gave thanks for
A past-tense 'you' verb, the '-ta' ending carrying the singular 'you' subject. It sits inside the relative clause describing the blessing and is negated by the relative word before it, giving 'which you did not give thanks for'. So it names the ingratitude that the remembering is meant to address.
