وَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَقُولَهُ،

and I said to him what you commanded me to say to him,

وَقُلْتُ and I said

The wa- opens the sentence, fused to a past-tense verb with a built-in 'I' subject, 'and I said'. The connector ties this to the prior report, and the first-person ending names the speaker as the doer.

From The Messenger as Conveyor of Revelation

كَمَا قَالَ الْمَسِيحُ ﴿مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِه﴾،

as the Messiah said: 'I said nothing to them except what You commanded me with',

قُلْتُ I said

This is a past-tense verb carrying a built-in 'I' subject, 'I said'. Under the negation before it the sense is 'I did not say'; the first-person ending names the speaker, the Messiah.
