قَالَتْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُكَ وَأَشْهَدُ رَسُولَكَ أَنِّي قَدْ رَضِيتُ عَنْ إِبْنِي

She said, "O Allah, I testify to You and to Your Messenger that I am satisfied with my son."

أني that I

This repeats the emphatic 'that' with the fused 'I', now opening the actual content being witnessed: that the speaker has become pleased. It grips its attached pronoun in the object-like form, as this particle always does. Its job is purely structural, hinging the witnessing onto the claim that follows.

لِأَنِّي because I

This packs three things into one word: a reason-giving 'because', the heavy 'that' that governs the noun after it, and a first-person 'I' tail. It opens the explanation clause and grammatically sets up the speaker as the subject of what follows.
