إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَإِقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ
When you lie down in your bed, then recite the Verse of the Throne.
آيَةَ — verse. A noun 'verse' heading a possessive pairing with 'the Throne' after it, 'the Verse of the Throne'. Its ending marks it as the object of 'recite'; it drops any separate 'the', taking definiteness from the owner-word that follows.
From: The Verse of the Throne →فَإِقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا حَتَّى تَخْتِمَ
So recite the Verse of the Throne from its beginning until you finish.
آيَةَ — verse. This noun is the thing to be recited, the object of the command, so it takes the accusative ending. It also heads a possessive pairing with 'the Throne' after it, so the two together name one specific verse, 'verse of the Throne'.
