96:18

سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole family occurrence was reviewed on one bounded page; it is the only frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 96:15-18 threatens the man who does not desist with seizure by his lying, sinful forelock; he may call his council, while God will call the Zabaniyah. The masculine plural accusative form and direct-object position after سَنَدْعُ compose locally. The draft retains the Quranic name because this immediate internal context establishes the summoned group's role but does not explicitly specify their further identity. No aligned reading payload, counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
