Nounصَخْرٌ1 sense

Core sense — rocks, great masses of hard stonegenerated

1rocks; great masses of stone, or of hard stoneصَخَرٌ

This second form is on the authority of Yaakoob, who says it is sometimes so pronounced.

صَخْرَةٌ and صَخَرَةٌ are the ism waḥda, meaning one of them, or they have a more special sense [as meaning a rock and a mass of rock].

Plurals: صُخُورٌ and صُخُورَةٌ, and, of صَخْرَةٌ and صَخَرَةٌ, صَخَرَاتٌ.

[In the K, صَخْرٌ and صَخَرٌ, as well as صُخُورٌ and صَخَرَاتٌ, are wrongly called plurals of صخرة.]

By صَخْرَة in the Qur'ān 31:15 is meant a صخرة that is beneath the ground.

And by the صَخْرَة mentioned in a tradition as being of, or from, Paradise is meant the صخرة [or rock] of Jerusalem [in the centre of the building now called “the Dome of the Rock”].

Qur’ān 31:16 approximate — somewhere between 31:1 and 31:19 Lane cites “Kur xxxi. 15”
Qur’ān 31:16 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنَّهَآ إِن تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُن فِى صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ أَوْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ

"O my son!" (said Luqman), "If there be (but) the weight of a mustard-seed and it were (hidden) in a rock, or (anywhere) in the heavens or on earth, Allah will bring it forth: for Allah understands the finest mysteries, (and) is well-acquainted (with them).Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
