أَحْمِلُ أُمِّي وَهِيَ الحَمَّالَةُ تُرْضِعُنِي الدِّرَةَ وَالعُلَالَةَ

I carry my mother, and she, the carrier, nurses me the pearl and the little treasure.

أُمِّي my mother

This noun, 'mother', has the 'my' pronoun on its end and stands as the object of 'carry'. Arabic attaches the owner straight onto the noun rather than using a separate 'my'. So 'my mother' is what the speaker bears.

فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي

So I said, "I am at your service, O Messenger of God; may my father and my mother be sacrificed for you."

وَأُمِّي and my mother

This fuses the connector 'and' with a noun carrying the owner-suffix 'my', adding a second person to the sacrifice pledge. The 'and' links it parallel to the earlier 'my father', and the attached 'my' again marks the speaker as owner. So one word means 'and my mother'.
