Readings
قَالَ رَبِّ
qāla rabbi
“He said: 'My Lord...'"
I.e. Addressing them in the third person. The final statement is in the passive voice.
قُلْ رَبِّ
qul rabbi
قُلْ رَبُّ
qul rabbu
“Say: 'My Lord...'"
In these readings, the verb is an instruction to the Prophet (ﷺ). Abū Jaʿfar's reading is based on a less common way of appending the personal pronoun in the vocative. NB: these are pronounced as qur-rabbi/u.

Explanation

These readings are complementary in meaning, as the Prophet (ﷺ) would immediately say whatever he was instructed [Ibn 'Ashur]. Note that both may be read from the same skeletal form.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
