كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ

Why this meaning was chosen

The finite verb describes an army crushing ants, while the common noun names crops reduced to dry broken debris. The intensive noun al-Hutamah names the punitive Fire and preserves the same destructive force at heightened intensity.
