قَالَ فَأَجْلَسَنِي فِي قَاعٍ حَوْلَهُ حِجَارَةٌ

He said, then he seated me in a hollow surrounded by stones.

فَأَجْلَسَنِي then he seated me

The fa- prefix marks sequence, 'then', on a make-someone-do verb, 'he made me sit / he seated me', with a 'me' object fused on. This is the causative shape, where the doer makes the action happen to the object, so it is richer than a plain 'sit'.
