وَقُلِ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ فَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ إِنَّآ أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا وَإِن يَسْتَغِيثُوا۟ يُغَاثُوا۟ بِمَآءٍ كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَشْوِى ٱلْوُجُوهَ بِئْسَ ٱلشَّرَابُ وَسَآءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ

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.
