كَانَ يُصَلِّي، فَجَاءَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فَدَعَتْهُ،
He was praying, then his mother came to him and called him.
فَدَعَتْهُ — then called him. Same forward-moving fa- as before, but here it strings a SECOND action right after the first arrival -- she came and then called -- and the -hu on the end is the one called. The verb's '-at' ending also quietly marks the doer as feminine ('she').
