قَالَ وَرَقَةُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي مَاذَا تَرَى
Waraqah said, "O son of my brother, what do you see?"
أَخِي my brother
The owning end of the 'son of ...' pair, with 'my' attached as a suffix instead of a standalone word; that fused -i is exactly what supplies the possessor. As the second, owned-by noun in the chain it carries the genitive, and it closes the kinship phrase begun by 'son of'.
يَا أَخِي اِعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَنْ تَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
My brother, know that whoever sought refuge in God from the accursed Satan.
أخي my brother
'Brother' with the '-i' ('my') ending fused on, so the word means 'my brother'. Placed right after the call-particle, it is in the addressed form; the attached 'my' both completes the address and signals warmth toward the listener.
اِعْلَمْ يَا أَخِي أَنَّ الْبَيْتَ الْمَعْمُورَ كَانَ فِي الأَرْضِ
Know, my brother, that the Frequented House was on the earth.
أَخِي my brother
'Brother' with '-i' ('my') fused on, giving 'my brother'. Sitting after the call-particle it is in the addressed form; the attached 'my' both completes the address and warms it toward the listener.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ ابْنَ أَخِي هَذَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
Then indeed, the son of my brother, this Muhammad, son of Abdullah.
أخي my brother
This closes the 'son of...' pairing and ends in -i, an attached 'my'. So it both completes the chain as the owner and carries the speaker's own possessive, giving 'son of my brother' with two ownership layers, kinship and 'my', folded together.
وَاللَّهِ مَا تَدْرِي يَا اِبْنَ أَخِي
By God, you do not know, O my nephew.
أَخِي my brother
A noun, 'brother', with the first-person possessive '-i' (my) attached, the second half of 'son of my brother'. As the owner it completes the 'of' chain and lends it definiteness. The suffix marks the brother as the speaker's own; together with 'son of' it means 'nephew'.
