فَقَعَدَتْ فَقَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ حَلَفْتُ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَنِي،
She sat down and said, "By God, if I swear, you will not believe me."
فَقَعَدَتْ — so she sat down. Here fa- is sequential 'so then', moving the action forward to her sitting up, fused to a past-tense verb whose -at ending marks a feminine subject. The prefix's job is purely ordering: it stitches her sitting to the moment just narrated.
