Addressed and heading the 'of' pair, so it wears the -a ending once more. The repeated call 'son of Adam' keeps the human listener in view across each fresh promise.
يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إنَّك لَوْ أتَيْتنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا ثُمَّ لَقِيتنِي لَا تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لَأَتَيْتُك بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً
O son of Adam! Were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, not associating anything with Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.
ٱبْنَ son of
The -a ending again, since it is addressed and heading the 'of' pair. The form is identical every time — a fixed mode of address.
