فَإِنْ وُجِدَ ذَلِكَ انْغَمَرَ ذِكْرُ الْهَوَى فِي حَقِّ هَذَا الشَّخْصِ وَصَارَ مُسْتَعْمَلا لِلْمَصَالِحِ

حَقِّ right
First half of an 'of' phrase: 'the case of...'; genitive after 'fi' — idiom 'fi haqq' = 'in the case of'.
فليتأمل اللبيب هذا المثال حق التأمل،
So let the intelligent one reflect on this example thoroughly,
حَقَّ thoroughly
This is the verb's own noun set in the accusative to intensify it — 'reflect the [true] reflecting of it', i.e. as it truly deserves. First term of an 'of' pairing with the next word, it is how Arabic stacks an action's own noun to mean 'do it to the full'.
فَأحب الْخلق إِلَيْهِ من عرف عبوديته فِي هَذِه الْمَرَاتِب ووفاها حَقّهَا
So the most beloved of creation to Him is the one who knows his servitude in these ranks and fulfills its due right.
حَقَّهَا its due right
'Its due', in the accusative as the thing rendered, with 'its' fused on. With 'pay in full' it spells out what is paid: he discharges the servitude's full rightful claim.
فَهَكَذَا مَا أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ مِنَ التَّوْحِيدِ وَالْمَعَادِ وَالنُّبُوَّةِ حَقٌّ
Thus, what I have told you about monotheism, resurrection, and prophethood is true.
حَقٌّ is true
The predicate 'true', a noun-adjective equated with the subject-clause 'what I told you'. Its indefinite nominative ending marks it as the unspecified quality the whole message has: it is true.
كَمَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ
As in the hadith, it is indeed the truth.
لَحَقٌّ the truth
An emphatic 'surely' prefix fused to the noun 'truth', answering the preceding 'indeed' with doubled force: it is surely truth. The prefix adds emphasis, and the noun is the predicate, in the nominative.
مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكَ هَهُنَا فَكَأَنَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ حَقٌّ
Just as you are here, it is as if He, Glory be to Him, is saying that the Quran is true.
حَقٌّ is true
The predicate 'true', equated with 'the Quran'. Its indefinite nominative ending marks it as the unspecified quality: the Quran is true.
كَمَا أَنَّ مَا شَاهَدُوهُ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ وَمَا لَا يُشَاهِدُونَهُ حَقٌّ مَوْجُودٌ
Just as what they observe of creation and what they do not observe truly exists.
حَقٌّ truly
A noun 'true/real' serving as the predicate of the whole, with an indefinite nominative ending: all of that is real. It asserts the reality of both the seen and unseen.
بَلْ لَوْ فَكَّرْتُمْ فِيمَا تُبْصِرُونَ وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ لَدَلَّكُمْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ حَقٌّ
But if you considered what you see and what you do not see, that would guide you to the Quran's truth.
حَقٌّ is true
The predicate 'true', equated with 'the Quran' inside the clause. Its indefinite nominative ending marks it as the unspecified quality: the Quran is true.
كما قال تعالى ﴿فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ﴾
As Allah the Exalted said: 'By the Lord of the heavens and the earth, indeed, it is the truth just as you are speaking.'
لَحَقٌّ the truth
An emphasis prefix 'surely' attached to the noun 'truth', the predicate of the affirming clause, 'indeed it is surely truth'. The prefix is the standard partner of the 'indeed' particle, doubling the emphasis on this predicate.
