And she said, "Allah did something to so-and-so, and did..."

تَقُولُ she says

This is a present-shape verb 'she says/was saying' with 'she' inside it, and its present form paints an ongoing, in-progress action against the past background. So it describes her as in the middle of speaking when observed.
