آيَة a sign
An indefinite noun naming the thing that existed, the long-delayed subject of the 'there was' verb that opened the sentence. Left indefinite, it introduces 'a sign' as something newly asserted. Arabic can hold the subject this far back, so the opening verb has been waiting for it all along.
