الرَّجُلِ of the man
A noun made definite by al-, 'the man', the owning second noun of 'the backbone of the man', in the genitive. The pairing assigns the backbone specifically to the man.
وقيل صلب الرجل وترائبه وهي صدره فيخرج من صلبه وصدره
And it was said that the backbone of the man and his ribs, which is his chest, is where it comes out from.
الرَّجُلِ of the man
This is the owner half of the possessive pair, 'of the man'. The preposition-free 'of' relationship forces this noun into the genitive ending, and because it is the possessor it keeps its own 'the' while the thing possessed gave its up.
أَن رجلا كَانَ يُسمى حمارا
A man was called "Himar" (Donkey).
رَجُلًا a man
This noun is indefinite, 'a man', and its ending is the accusative because the 'that' particle before it forces that case on its subject. The indefinite form leaves him unnamed, some man, the topic of the reported clause.
فَقَالَ رجل لَعنه الله مَا أَكثر مَا يُؤْتِي بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِي
So a man said, 'May Allah curse him; how often he is brought to the Prophet!'
رَجُلٌ a man
This noun is indefinite, 'a man', and it is the subject of the speaking verb, named after the verb as Arabic prefers, with the plain subject ending. The indefinite form leaves him unidentified, just some man.
