فَصْلٌ a section
A standalone heading, 'section', marking a new chapter; it stands outside any sentence, which is why it just carries the bare indefinite '-un' with nothing governing it. Such single-word rubrics divide the text.
وأقسم على كون القرآن حقًا وصدقًا فقال ﴿إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ﴾
He swore about the Quran being true and truthful, saying 'It is a decisive word and not a jest.'
فَصْلٌ decisive
An adjective trailing 'word' and agreeing with it as indefinite and in the same ending: 'a decisive word'. Arabic adjectives copy their noun's number, gender, and definiteness, so the matching endings bind 'decisive' to 'word'.

فَصْلٌ Section:
A standalone heading noun, and its indefinite 'un' ending (the doubled vowel-sign) marks it as a general, unattached label rather than a noun tied into a sentence. It simply names a new section of the text.
