وَبَنَوْهُ and built
This is 'and' plus a defective past verb ('built'), with '-u' for 'they' and an attached '-hu' object 'it' — so one word says 'and they built it'. The verb's weak final root makes the stem come out short. Subject and object are both folded into the single form.
ولم يرضها لأوليائه فبنى لهم غير هذه الدار،
And He was not pleased with it for His close ones, so He built for them another abode,
فَبَنَى so He built
This is 'fa-' prefixed to 'built', marking the result, 'so He built'. The verb carries its own subject 'He', referring to God, and leads into what was built and for whom.
ثم بنى لأهل الصلاح ذاتُ ألواحٍ وُدسرٍ فسلموا وغنموا وبحر الباقون كالجزر،
Then He built for the people of righteousness a vessel of planks and nails; they were saved and prospered, while the rest were submerged like the ebbing tide,
بَنَى He constructed
A past-tense verb with its own 'he' subject built in; the doer is God from context. It reports a single completed act of building, the masculine singular form matching that understood divine subject.
وَلَمْ يَرْضَهَا لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ فَبَنَى لَهُمْ غَيْرَ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ،
And He did not approve the world for His close ones, so He built for them another home.
فَبَنَى so He built
A past-tense verb 'built' with the prefix fa- ('so/then'). The job of fa- here is sequence-and-result: it presents this building as the consequence of the previous refusal — He withheld the world, so He built something else instead. It threads cause into effect, tighter than a plain 'and'.
