ذَا by Him
This is a pointing word standing as the object of the exception phrase, 'by that / by Him'. As a demonstrative it agrees with what it points to and rounds off the 'except by' construction.
وَأَخْبَرَ أَنَّ مَعَ الصَّبْرِ وَالتَّقْوَى لَا يَضُرُّ كَيْدُ الْعَدْوِ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا تَسْلِيطٍ

ذَا one possessing
A possession word ('one having') that must lead into a following noun to say what is possessed. It is the kind of 'owner of...' word that heads an 'of' pairing, here 'possessor of authority'.
لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا عَاقِلًا ذَا بَصِيرَةٍ فَهُوَ أَثْقَلُ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ
For if he is a believing, rational person with insight, he is harder for the devil than the mountains.
ذَا possessing
This word means 'possessor of', a noun that always heads an 'of' pairing to express 'having' something; here it is accusative as a further predicate of 'was'. Its grammatical job is to assign possession of the quality named next. So it builds 'one possessing insight'.
