قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَا نَقُولُ

They said, "O Messenger of God, what should we say?"

نَقُولُ we say

Present-tense verb whose 'n-' prefix means the doers are 'we', so the subject is carried inside the form. Here the present tense reads as a deliberative 'what should we say', a request for guidance rather than a plain statement. The question-word before it is the thing being said.

He said, "They said, O Messenger of Allah, what should we say?"

نَقُولُ should we say

Present-tense verb with the 'n-' prefix marking 'we', so the subject rides inside the form. The present tense here carries a deliberative 'what should we say', asking for direction rather than reporting. The question-word before it supplies what is to be said.
