21:104

يَوْمَ نَطْوِى ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَطَىِّ ٱلسِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ كَمَا بَدَأْنَآ أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُۥ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All four occurrences were inspected together. Three identify the material of stones rained or thrown in punishment. The remaining noun is rolled up in relation to writings; a rollable written medium contradicts projectile stone material, so the exact 21:104 segment is a lexical collision.
