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

  وَعَاجِلُهُ — and its immediate part. Front wa- is the joiner 'and', pairing this with the deferred part. The noun ends in -hu 'its', again pointing back to the dowry, so the two halves read 'its deferred part and its immediate part', balanced by wa-.
