وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِن يَقُولُوا۟ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ هُمُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فَٱحْذَرْهُمْ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the Form II passive participle مُسَنَّدَة at 63:4. The hypocrites are compared to pieces of timber bearing this description, after their outward bodies and speech have been noted but before their fearful reaction to every shout. The timber image and passive state establish inert pieces set upright by external support rather than standing through their own life or action. The target is indefinite feminine nominative singular in agreement with the nonhuman broken plural خُشُب. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
