Then I came to the words of the Most High.
قَوْلِهِ his words
A noun with -hi ('his') attached; the suffix makes it definite, 'his words'. Its ending is in the governed shape because the preposition before it requires it. The -hi here reaches back to God, the speaker of the words being approached, so tracking that referent is the point.
وَقَدْ دَلَّ الْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ عَلَى أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهِمَا لِبَاسٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ
The Glorious Qur'an indicates that there was clothing on them in the verse:
قَوْلِهِ his statement
A noun 'statement / saying' with the attached possessor '-hi' = 'his', referring to God. As the object of 'in' it stands in the genitive; the suffix names whose statement, introducing the cited verse.
فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيَعُودُ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهُ سَيَعُودُ
So I realized that he would return in accordance with the statement of the Messenger of Allah, "He will return."
لِقَوْلِ for the statement
A preposition 'for/owing to' fused to a noun, so one word carries both link and noun. Here it marks the cause or warrant, 'in keeping with the saying of...', and it heads a possessive pairing with the noun after it, pulling it into the genitive.
وَاسْمَعْ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ،
And listen to what he says.
قَوْلِهِ his speech
A noun meaning his speech with the attached 'his' fused onto its end, so the possessor rides on the word. It is what the listening is aimed at, its ending in the case the preceding preposition assigns.

قَوْلِهِ his speech

قَوْلِهِ his words
A noun meaning his speech with the attached 'his' fused on, so the possessor rides on the word. It names the source heard from, its ending in the case the preceding preposition assigns.

قَوْلِ the words
A noun ('the words / saying') heading an 'of' pairing 'the words OF God', sitting in the genitive ending under the preceding 'concerning'. It drops its own 'al-' and takes definiteness from the divine name that follows.
