Example sentence

فلبثت والقدح على يدى أنتظر استيقاظهما حتى برق الفجر والصبية يتضاغون عند قدمى فاستيقظا فشربا غبوقهما

So I waited with the vessel in my hand until dawn broke, and the children were crying at my feet. They then awoke and drank their evening drink.

وَالْقِدْحُ and the vessel

This joins the connector wa- to a noun and opens a background 'with...' clause: 'and the vessel (being) in my hand'. Here wa- introduces a side-circumstance running alongside the main verb, painting the scene while he waited, not advancing the action.
