Prolongation sign/mark is found whenever the following word begins with still letter and here Sād ending with sound of still "Daal" in pronunciation. As a numeral, it denotes 90-reflecting the entire range from 0 to 9. Its head part is used in Grand Qur'aan as a sign to suggest linkage in recitation]; and swearing is by the Qur'aan, its peculiarity is that it is the holder/container of the Admonishment/Reminder/Reiteration [of all that was sent earlier-a linkage].

o كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُوا الْأَلْبَابِ

38:29 The Book, We have sent it to you, the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]. This has the peculiar characteristic of permanence and perpetuation-to stay forever. The purpose and objective is that the people may pursue/critically examine/link/study its Aa'ya'at-verbal passages mirroring established realities and facts; and so that the men of wisdom who look into matters and conduct objectively without overlapping it with emotions/prejudices/biases/whims/caprices may remember and orate to others. [38:29]

قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَّا يَنبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِّنْ بَعْدِي إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ الرِّيحَ تَجْرِي بِأَمْرِهِ رُخَاءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ

38:36 [Accepting his prayer] In response We subjected for him the particular breeze [grain producer 21:81]. It moved/blew under his command [towards their land-21:81] gently from the direction/place wherever he had found it. [38:36]
