أَنَّهُمْ that they

An emphatic 'that' particle fused to a 'they' pronoun, packaging a whole clause as a fact and underlining it. It forces that attached pronoun into the object-like slot and introduces the statement being asserted, the way English 'that they...' opens a reported fact.

From Trapped and Delivered

وَأَنَّهُمْ هُمْ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا،

And that they are those on whom Allah has bestowed favor: the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. Those are excellent companions.

وَأَنَّهُمْ and that they are

This packs three pieces into one word: the linking wa- ('and'), the heavy particle anna ('that'), and the attached -hum ('they'). Anna is the strong form of 'that' used to open a firmly-asserted reported clause, and it grabs the following pronoun as the subject of what is being claimed. So the word both joins this statement to the previous one and frames everything after it as a stated certainty about 'them'.
