فَوَاللَّهِ — and by Allah. fa- = 'and so'; the wa- here is the oath-word 'by'; with the name — 'and by God!', an oath.

فَوَاللهِ — By Allah. This stacks 'so' + the oath-particle 'by' + 'God': 'so by God!'. The 'wa-' here is not 'and' but the particle of swearing an oath, and it forces the divine name into the genitive. Abu Bakr swears to confirm his words.
