The chapter records two Qurʾānic instances of nūn khafīfah that are pronounced with an alif-like ending at waqf:
«وَلَيَكُونًا مِنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ» — Yūsuf.
«لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ» — al-ʿAlaq.
This is not simply ordinary tanwīn. It reflects the special light emphatic nūn. Apply the transmitted stopping rule to these occurrences rather than generalizing from surface spelling.
