Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 'By Allah, we experience the same.'
لَنَلْقَى we experience
This carries a special emphatic 'la-' prefix that pairs with the 'indeed' before it — the 'la-' that lands on the predicate of an 'inna' sentence for extra stress. The verb itself is a present 'we meet / encounter'. Together: 'we most certainly experience...'.
