ثَالِثُهُمَا the third of them two
An ordinal 'third' with the dual '-huma' (of them two) attached, the predicate, nominative — 'their third'. The dual suffix points to exactly the two; God Himself is with them, making three.

الثَّالِثُ is the third
As the predicate of the 'while...' clause, this ordinal sits in the subject-style '-u' ending that Arabic also gives to the predicate of a verbless sentence. It completes 'God being the third', the reassurance that the two were never truly alone.
وقال الثالث اللهم استأجرت أجراء وأعطيتهم أجرهم غير رجل واحد ترك الذى له وذهب، فثمرت أجره حتى كثرت منه الأموال،
The third said: 'O Allah, I hired laborers and paid them their wages except for one man who left without taking his pay. I invested his wages until they multiplied into wealth.'
الثَّالِثُ the third
This noun is the subject of 'said', following its verb, so it takes the plain (nominative) ending; the al- makes it definite, 'the third'. As an ordinal it ranks this speaker third in the sequence of three.
