وَكَانَا فِي السِّجْنِ مَعًا، فَمَنَعَهُمَا السِّجَّانُ مِنْ إِدْخَالِ الْحَطَبِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ،

They were together in prison, and the jailer prevented them from bringing in firewood on a cold night.

بَارِدَةٍ cold

This is a describing adjective tied to 'a night', and it mirrors that noun's traits: same indefinite tanwin, same genitive ending, and a feminine shape to match. Arabic makes adjectives copy their noun in case, gender, definiteness and number, and that matching is how you know it describes the night. So the agreement, not the position alone, binds it to its noun.

بَارِدَة cold

This is a describing word attached to the indefinite 'night' before it. In Arabic an adjective copies its noun in gender, number and definiteness, so its feminine singular shape and its indefinite ending both echo 'a night'. That matching is how a reader knows it describes this particular noun and not some other word in the sentence.
