  And Khadijah bint Khuwaylid was betrothed, and her dowry, both its deferred and its immediate parts, was paid from my wealth,

  آجِلَهُ — its deferred part. A noun ending in -hu, an attached 'its', so it bundles 'the deferred part' with its owner in one word. The -hu points back to the dowry, marking this as the portion belonging to it, set in contrast with the immediate part named next.
