• فَاشْتَرَاهُ مِنِّي بِأُوقِيَّةٍ،

  Then he bought it from me for a small coin.

  فَأَشْتَرَاهُ — then he bought it. The prefix fa- carries the story to its next step ('then'), and the verb 'bought' has an attached -hu ('it') as its object. That 'it' points back to the camel, so the one word means 'then he bought it'.
