وَسْـَٔلِ (And ask) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.

We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"

Conjunction وَ (and)

وَسْـَٔلِ (And ask) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

And ask the city in which we were and the caravan in which we came - and indeed, we are truthful.'"
