The 'fa-' (so/then) carries the story onward, fused onto a past speech-verb whose '-tu' ending means 'I'. So the chunk both links and reports the narrator's speaking. The first-person singular subject rides inside that ending.

The fa- on the front is a 'next thing' link, tying this speech to the action just before it with a sense of 'and so'; it binds the narrative tighter than a plain 'and'. The verb itself is a past 'said' whose ending already carries the first-person 'I', so the speaker is built into the word rather than written separately.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ
So I said to him:
فَقُلْتُ so I said
This verb is fronted by an attached 'so/then' marking the next turn, with its first-person 'I' built in by its ending. The joined particle keeps the exchange in order. The ending fixes the 'I'.
قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا مَلْعُونُ فَمَا الَّذِي تَخَافُهُ
He said, so I said to him, "O accursed one, what is it that you fear?"
فَقُلْتُ so I said
Joins the connector 'fa-' to a past verb of saying carrying a first-person '-tu' as subject, 'so I said'. The 'fa-' here marks the speaker taking his turn in sequence, 'so then'. The verb opens the dreamer's quoted question.
