So when he could not win him over, he would exclaim, "Woe to him."
يَسْتَزِلَّهُ — win him over. This is a present-tense verb pushed into the subjunctive by the preceding 'to' particle, with an attached object '-him' at its end. The subjunctive marks the winning-over as the unrealised aim, what he was unable to do. The '-him' points to the believer as its object.
