And among them are those who run swiftly,
سَعْيًا running swiftly
An action-noun ('running') in the accusative, placed right after its own verb to drive the manner home, 'runs a running'. Arabic uses this echoing accusative to intensify how the action is done, where English would add 'swiftly' or 'hard'. The accusative ending is what marks it as that adverbial reinforcement.
