يَقُولُ is saying
A present-tense verb 'he says' with the doer 'He' built in, here God. The present form casts the saying as ongoing or perpetual.
فَإِنَّ الرَّسُولَ يَقُولُ لِلْمُرْسَلِ إِلَيْهِ مَا أُمِرَ بِقَوْلِهِ،
For the Messenger says to the one to whom he is sent what he was commanded to say,
يَقُولُ he says
This present-tense verb carries its 'he' subject, 'he says', describing what the Messenger does. The plain present marks an ongoing, characteristic action, and the verb governs its addressee through the next preposition.
فَيَقُولُ قُلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا،
so he says: 'I said such and such',
فَيَقُولُ so he says
This fuses the connector fa- to a present-tense verb, 'so he says', with its 'he' subject built in. The fa- ties this to the prior clause as a next step, and the verb introduces the quoted self-report that follows.
وَالْمُرْسِلُ يَقُولُ لِلرَّسُولِ قُلْ لَهُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا،
and the one who sends says to the messenger: 'Say to them such and such',
يَقُولُ he says
This present-tense verb carries its 'he' subject, 'he says', describing what the sender does. The plain present marks a characteristic action, and the verb governs its addressee through the next preposition.
﴿وَقُلْ لِعِبَادِي يَقُولُوا الَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ﴾،
'Say to My servants to speak that which is best',
يَقُولُوا to speak
Present-tense verb that has shed its normal final 'n' and shifted into a shortened mood because it serves as the outcome of the command 'Say': 'so that they speak'. The clipped ending is Arabic's way of tying this action to the order that precedes it.
