71:28

رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا

Why this meaning was chosen

All six occurrences profile comprehensive ruin. Idolatrous occupation is destined for it and called void; attackers ruin what they overtake; prior peoples are each reduced to it after examples are given; and Noah asks that wrongdoers increase only in ruin. Form II and its cognate action noun intensify the same result. No candidate, collision, reading divergence, or unresolved semantic question remains.
