Grammar Rules

Indefinite noun
رُّسُلًۭا (Messengers) 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

[We sent] messengers as bringers of good tidings and warners so that mankind will have no argument against Allāh after the messengers. And ever is Allāh Exalted in Might and Wise.
