• فيحملها على مذهبه ويناظر على ذلك مع ظهورها في خلاف ما يقول

  So he interprets it according to his school of thought and debates on that basis, despite its clarity against what he says.

  فَيَحْمِلُهَا — he interprets it. The 'fa-' draws the consequence: 'so he construes it.' 'Carry' is used figuratively — to bend a text onto a reading — with the verb taking 'onto' (next) for the view he forces it toward. The '-ha' is 'it,' the verse.

• فاقتدهِد في كسر شَهَواتها، وحملها على ما يرضي ربك، واصبر على ذلك، فإن العاقبة حميدة

  So strive to break its desires, compel it to what pleases your Lord, and be patient with that, for the outcome is praiseworthy.

  وَحَمْلِهَا — and its compelling. The wa- joins a parallel verbal noun, 'and carrying it', with -ha 'it' attached. It rides on the same 'strive in' frame as the previous noun, so it too stands in the possessive case as a thing one strives at; 'it' points to the self.

• وقال أبو الدرداء إني لأستجم نفسي ببعض الباطل كراهية أن أحمل عليها من لحق ما يكلها

  And Abu al-Darda said, 'Indeed, I refresh myself with some idle talk, fearing that I might burden it with so much truth that it becomes weary.'

  أَحْمِلَ — I might burden. A present-tense verb with 'I' built in, in the subjunctive because of the 'that' before it; the changed ending (an -a rather than -u) signals the burdening is a feared possibility, not something happening. English shows this with 'might/would', Arabic by the verb's vowel.
