لَا يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعًا إِلَّا فِى قُرًى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَآءِ جُدُرٍۭ بَأْسُهُم بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعًا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّىٰ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُونَ
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Why this meaning was chosen
شَتَّى qualifies plants, hearts, and human striving as internally diverse or divergent. أَشْتَاتًا contrasts with acting all together and describes people proceeding in separate groups. Qualitative difference and spatial-social separation instantiate one departure from unified sameness.
