Past tense verb

فَكَذَّبُوهُ (But they denied him) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.

We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.

Verb form II — intensified

فَكَذَّبُوهُ (But they denied 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]".

But they denied him, so the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
