Why this meaning was chosen
The common noun denotes flame in 77:31 and 111:3. In 111:1 the same written form is the fixed second element of the personal designation أَبِي لَهَبٍ; the person is then threatened with a fire possessing لَهَب in 111:3. The name use is therefore isolated as an exact lexical-collision branch rather than allowed to redefine the common noun.
