يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا

Why this meaning was chosen

All 77 family occurrences are held under reach as one Quran-internal lexical core. Form IV verbs inflect reach by tense and person; musib and musibah name what reaches; sayyib is the reaching weather event, clarified as storm in parentheses; and sawab is reaching the proper mark. The parenthetical nouns identify the contextual referent without replacing the core meaning.
