37:146

وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ

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 37:139-148 recounts Jonah being cast onto open ground while ill, God growing over him a plant of yaqtin, and then sending him to a people who believed. The masculine singular indefinite genitive noun after مِنْ specifies the kind of شَجَرَةً and composes locally. The Quranic context establishes protective growth over Jonah without resolving a narrower botanical species, so the draft stops at gourd plant. No aligned reading payload, counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
