لِأَنَّهُمْ جَمِيعًا عَلِمُوا وَأَدْرَكُوا وَأَيَّقَنُوا أَنَّ مُعَلِّمَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

Because they all knew, perceived, and were certain that their teacher was the Messenger of God.

وَأَدْرَكُوا and they perceived

The connector wa- ('and') fused onto a past-tense 'they' verb (the -u tail marks the plural subject). The wa- adds 'and they perceived' to the previous 'they knew', a second verb in the heap. The repeated structure stacks near-synonyms to intensify the certainty.
