Past tense verb
وَقَالُوا۟ (And they say) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَقَالُوا۟ (And they say) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
And they say, "These animals and crops are forbidden; no one may eat from them except whom we will," by their claim. And there are those [camels] whose backs are forbidden [by them] and those upon which the name of Allāh is not mentioned - [all of this] an invention of untruth about Him. He will punish them for what they were inventing.
