33:19

أَشِحَّةً عَلَيْكُمْ فَإِذَا جَآءَ ٱلْخَوْفُ رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ تَدُورُ أَعْيُنُهُمْ كَٱلَّذِى يُغْشَىٰ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ ٱلْخَوْفُ سَلَقُوكُم بِأَلْسِنَةٍ حِدَادٍ أَشِحَّةً عَلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ فَأَحْبَطَ ٱللَّهُ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed the sole frozen occurrence on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target row. In 33:19, after fear departs, the exposed hypocrites سلقوكم بألسنة حداد. The instrument phrase explicitly names sharp tongues, establishing a forceful verbal attack while the surrounding stinginess supplies its hostile posture.
