Indefinite noun
۞ قَوْلٌۭ (A word) has no ال and takes tanwīn (the "n" sound at the end), so it means "a" or "some" — not a specific one.
We translate it as "a/an" or leave it general.

Sahih International

Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allāh is Free of need and Forbearing.
