وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَٰمِتُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The single family occurrence was reviewed on one page. صَامِتُونَ contrasts addressing the powerless objects of worship with remaining silent, since either course produces the same lack of response.
