Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the feminine Form I active participle هَامِدَة at 22:5. The earth is seen in this state before God sends water upon it; it then stirs, swells, and grows every delightful kind, as evidence for resurrection. The before-and-after contrast with motion, expansion, and growth establishes dormant lifelessness. The target is indefinite feminine accusative singular as the second object or circumstantial complement after تَرَى, agreeing with the earth.
