وَالْآيَاتُ فِي ذَلِكَ كَثِيرَةٌ
And the verses concerning this are numerous.
كَثِيرَةٌ are numerous
An adjective serving as predicate, 'many/numerous', completing 'the verses about that are many'. As predicate it matches its subject in being feminine, and Arabic supplies no 'are'.
وَكَانَ يُرْسِلُ أَشْعَارًا كَثِيرَةً إِلَى بَغْدَادِ
He would send many poems to Baghdad.
كَثِيرَةً many
An adjective describing the poems. Notice it takes a feminine-singular shape even though the noun is plural: Arabic treats most non-human plurals as if they were a single feminine thing for agreement, so a 'group' of poems is described with a singular feminine word. Its -an ending matches the indefinite object it modifies.
