فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا

Why this meaning was chosen

Form III repeatedly governs the person pressed and an عن phrase marking the person or object sought from that resistance. The desired outcomes range from personal solicitation to a father's consent and surrender of guests. The 139 protected Form IV intention records were inspected and not altered. The adverb رُوَيْدًا measures a short or gentle respite and is kept as a lexical collision because its single context does not establish a bridge to solicitation.
