A past-tense verb with the ending that marks an 'I' subject, so the speaker is built into the verb. Arabic shows the first-person doer by this ending alone, where English needs a separate 'I'.
فَعَجِبْنَا لَهُ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ
We were astonished that he asked him and then affirmed him!
فَعَجِبْنَا we were astonished
A past-tense verb 'we marvelled' fronted by fa-, which here ties the wonder to the scene just described as its natural upshot, 'and so we marvelled'. The '-na' ending is the built-in 'we' subject. The fa- gives the reaction a sense of following on from what was witnessed.
