فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ لَا نَقُولُ إِنَّهُ مَلِكٌ ظَالِمٌ، بَلْ نَبِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ مَنْ اتَّبَعَهُ فَهُوَ مِنَ السُّعَدَاءِ، وَكَذَلِكَ مَنْ اتَّبَعَ مُوسَى فَهُوَ كَمَنْ اتَّبَعَ مُحَمَّدًا
When he heard this, he said: 'God forbid! We do not say he is a tyrant king, but a noble prophet. Whoever follows him is among the blessed, and likewise, whoever follows Moses is like one who follows Muhammad.'
ظَالِمٌ tyrant
This noun lacks 'the' and ends in the indefinite mark, 'oppressive', describing the king before it. As a following adjective it agrees in indefiniteness, so the two read together as 'an oppressive king'.

ظَالِمًا a tyrant
This is 'a wrongdoer, tyrant', indefinite, the object of 'aided', so it takes the accusative ending that marks the thing acted upon. It names whom the person helped. It is what the condition turns on.
