The "أَفعِلْ به" form expresses wonder, surprise, admiration. A more common expression is "ما أَفعَلَه".
Trying to translate the whole verses (excuse my choice of words, I'm not proficient enough for this):

When I recall him, I think he will be best rewarded by God.
What noble people are they, whose tombs under the soil; they didn't mix their faith with injustice and aggression.
(You should know this by now, but in classical poetry every verse has an independent, complete meaning)

This is just a guess; I hope that it gets you closer to an answer.
