Grammar rules

Verb form II — intensified

لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ (I will surely punish him) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.

The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".

Lesson 12 · Verb Families II–IV
Emphatic لَ (indeed)

لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ (I will surely punish him) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".

We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.
