20:6

لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَمَا تَحْتَ ٱلثَّرَىٰ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of ثَرَى at 20:6. God's possession is stated over what is in the heavens, in the earth, between them, and beneath the soil. This ordered spatial sequence places the noun as the ground layer under which things may lie, distinct from the wider earth already named. The target is definite genitive after beneath. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
