فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَارْتَطَمَتْ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ إِلَى بَطْنِهَا

Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, prayed against him, and his mare struck him in the belly.

فَدَعَا then prayed

The fa- on the front is a 'next thing that happened' link, tying this prayer to the events just before it; it is tighter than a plain 'and', signalling consequence. The verb itself is a plain past, 'he prayed/called', with the doer ('the Prophet') named a few words later rather than carried inside the verb.
