وَالْحَرْبُ and the war

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَ دَاءِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ نَوْبًا فَهُوَ مُتَرَدِّدٌ بَيْنَ الصِّحَّةِ وَالْمَرَضِ

And among them are those for whom the struggle between his disease and his strength is in bouts, so he is wavering between health and illness.

الْحَرْبُ the struggle

A definite noun, the subject of the clause that follows. In this passage 'the struggle' is the figurative back-and-forth between sickness and strength, so 'al-' points to that ongoing inner contest rather than a literal war.
