فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
Why this meaning was chosen
All six occurrences were reviewed. The form II and IV imperatives grant a brief delay to rejecters. The noun مُهْل instead denotes a burning molten substance and contradicts that temporal core, so its three occurrences are isolated as an exact lexical collision.
