56:69

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the noun مُزْن at 56:69. The audience is asked whether they sent down the water they drink from this source or whether God is the one who sends it down; the next ayah notes that He could make the water bitter. The مِن source construction, repeated descent verb, and drinkable-water referent establish rain-bearing clouds. The target is definite masculine genitive under مِن. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
