مثل ما روي عن أبي حمزة الصوفي أنه وقع في بئر فجاء رجلان فَطمّاها،
Like the story narrated about Abu Hamza al-Sufi, who fell into a well, and then two men came and filled it up.
فَجاءَ — so he came. The opening particle marks the next event in sequence, and the verb carries its 'he' subject: 'then... came'. Arabic links the steps of a story with this connector, here ordering 'and then two men came'.
