Conjunction وَ (and)
۞ وَمَا (And not) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Negation (not/no)
۞ وَمَا (And not) is a negation word — it makes the next word negative, like "not" or "no".
We add "not" or "no" to negate what follows.

Sahih International

And it is not for any human being that Allāh should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger [i.e., angel] to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is Most High and Wise.
