Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all three occurrences, all within 13:17. The torrent carries rising froth, material heated for ornament or utility produces comparable froth, and the closing comparison says the froth passes away as discarded matter while what benefits people remains. These linked uses establish one concrete residue core that supports the ayah's comparison with falsehood. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
