I said, "Command me as you wish, O Messenger of God."

شِئْت you wished

This is a past-tense verb whose ending marks 'you' (masculine singular) as the doer, completing the 'whatever you wish' clause. The 'you' is carried by the verb's tail, so no separate pronoun is written. It tells what fills the open relative just before it.
