The people wake up fasting.

صَوَّامًا fasting

This is the resulting-state word completing the 'become' verb, so it takes the accusative ending that verb assigns to its predicate. Its doubled-letter shape is the intensive pattern, painting the people as thorough, devoted fasters, not merely people who happen to fast. The accusative ties it back to 'the people' as what they turn into.
