Grammar Rules

Past tense verb
كَذَّبَ (Denied) 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
كَذَّبَ (Denied) 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]".

Sahih International

Those before them denied, and punishment came upon them from where they did not perceive.
