33:26

وَأَنزَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَٰهَرُوهُم مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مِن صَيَاصِيهِمْ وَقَذَفَ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلرُّعْبَ فَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ وَتَأْسِرُونَ فَرِيقًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the plural noun صَيَاصِي at 33:26. God brings down from these places the People of the Book who supported the attacking confederates, casts terror into their hearts, and leaves them killed or captured. The descent from possessed places, military setting, and transition to defeat establish defensive strongholds. The target is genitive under مِن with a third-person masculine plural possessor in the full word. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
