And he was the son of Khadija's paternal uncle, her father's brother.
عَمِّ paternal uncle
This kinship noun is both the owner of the preceding 'son' and itself the first link of a further 'of' pairing with Khadija's name, so it sits in the genitive. Arabic can chain these possessives, 'son of uncle of Khadija', by stacking nouns directly.

عَمِّ paternal uncle
The owning half of the possessive pair begun by 'son of': it closes the chain, so it takes the genitive (the 'belonging' ending) that any second noun in such an of-chain receives. Set directly behind 'son', with nothing between, the two build the fixed phrase that Arabic uses for a cousin.
