فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا

Why this meaning was chosen

All ten family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Nine negated form IV imperfect verbs assure that God does not let faith, work, or earned reward go to waste. One positive form IV perfect says a later generation let prayer go to waste through neglect. Negation, tense, person, number, mood, and direct objects compose morphologically. The contrast between divine preservation and human neglect is polarity around the same loss-of-value core, not a lexical contradiction. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
