26:94

فَكُبْكِبُوا۟ فِيهَا هُمْ وَٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is a third-person-plural passive perfect followed by فِيهَا, referring to the Fire just brought near. Its subjects are the false objects of worship together with the strayers, and the reduplicated form presents their forceful downward casting as a tumbling collective action.
