72:14

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا ٱلْقَٰسِطُونَ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا۟ رَشَدًا

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is a third-person masculine plural perfect with رَشَدًا as its direct object. It characterizes the jinn who submit in contrast with the unjust, so the sought goal is sound direction and the verb contributes deliberate pursuit.
