Past tense verb

وَكَذَّبَ (But 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

وَكَذَّبَ (But 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]".

But your people have denied it while it is the truth. Say, "I am not over you a manager [i.e., authority]."
