63:4

وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِن يَقُولُوا۟ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ هُمُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فَٱحْذَرْهُمْ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all thirteen occurrences of the single noun صَيْحَة. Eight refer to a cry that destroys earlier peoples, four to the cry that seizes or raises people at the end, and one to any alarming cry feared by hypocrites. The scale ranges from an ordinary perceived alarm to a divinely consequential blast, while abrupt sound and immediate response remain constant. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
