وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٰسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ
خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا وَأَلْقَىٰ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ رَوَٰسِىَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all five occurrences. Three identical Form I clauses describe the earth swaying with its occupants unless stabilized by mountains. The two noun occurrences identify a provision-bearing spread requested to descend from heaven. The text clearly fixes each local rendering, but it does not state why مَائِدَة belongs to the same movement family; relating the descending spread to movement into place is therefore tentative. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. That family-level bridge remains a segment-linked review point; no protected meaning was edited, and the distinct forms do not support an exact lexical-collision split.
