وَسَلَّمَ and granted peace
The connector 'wa-' adds the second half of the fixed blessing formula to the first, joining 'bless' and 'grant peace' into one set devotional phrase. The verb it leads carries God as its understood doer, parallel to the first verb of the formula.
أَنَسِيتُمْ مَا قَالَ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

وَسِلْمِ and grant him peace
A connector 'and' joined to the second blessing word asking for peace, closing the honorific. The spelling here is a slight variant, but its role is the standard 'and grant him peace'.
فَقُلْتُ عَلَى رِسْلِكَ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ،

وَسَلَّمَ and grant him peace
The wa- joins the closing wish-verb, completing blessing-and-peace. A past-shaped verb read as a prayer.

Then the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, was walking alone.
وَسَلَّمَ and granted peace
The connector wa- ties the second half of the honorific to the first, and the verb it leads grants peace. As part of the fixed formula it works as a set unit completing 'and grant him peace'.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Then the Messenger of Allah said.
وَسَلَّمَ and may He grant him peace
An 'and' on the second blessing-verb, pairing the grant of peace with the blessing into one fixed phrase, with the 'him' understood from context.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Then the Messenger of Allah said:
وَسَلَّمَ and may He grant peace
An 'and' on the second blessing-verb, pairing the grant of peace with the blessing into one fixed phrase, linking the two devotional verbs.
قَالَتْ فَسَمِعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
She said, and Abu Bakr and the Messenger of God heard it, may God bless him and grant him peace.
وَسَلَّمَ and grant him peace
The leading wa- ('and') ties this closing half of the blessing to the first, and the verb already holds its object 'him', giving 'and grant him peace' as one fixed pair.
وَاِنْتَزَعَ الْوَزِيرُ مَدْرَسَةَ جَدِّهِ وَسَلَّمَهَا إِلَى اِبْنِ الْجَوْزِيِّ،
The minister seized his grandfather's school and handed it over to Ibn al-Jawzi,
وَسَلَّمَهَا and handed it over
This joins a linking 'and' to a past verb 'handed over' with a feminine 'it' tag as its object — one word for 'and he handed it over'. The 'it' points back to the school, and the 'and' coordinates this act with the seizing.
فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ مَا مَعَهُ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ
He greeted his master, then put down what he had and returned to his master.
فَسلم so he greeted
The connector 'fa-' (so/then) on a past verb of greeting; 'fa-' marks this as the next step once he had arrived. The verb's 'he' subject is built in. It opens a short chain of sequential actions the 'fa-' and later 'then' will string together.
