25:24

speaking

7:4

وَكَم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَٰهَا فَجَآءَهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَٰتًا أَوْ هُمْ قَآئِلُونَ

Alternative: Our punishment came to them by night or while they were speaking

Research rendering: Our punishment came to them by night or while they were resting by day

Speaking does not form the temporal counterpart to بَيَاتًا and cannot support the matching repose-place derivative at 25:24.

speech place

25:24

أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا

Alternative: the Garden companions have a better settlement and a finer speech place

Research rendering: the Garden companions have a better settlement and a finer place of repose

The target is a locative rest derivative coordinated with settled residence; a speech location breaks the family-internal state/place pairing.
