وَاِتَّبَعَنَا — and followed us. A dense chunk: the 'wa-' (and) links the clause to the narrative, fused onto a past verb whose '-na' here is the object 'us', giving 'and he followed us'. The verb is built on a stem-pattern of pursuing or coming after someone. The named pursuer follows the verb in Arabic's verb-first order.
