7:44

وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ أَن قَدْ وَجَدْنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا رَبُّنَا حَقًّا فَهَلْ وَجَدتُّم مَّا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا قَالُوا۟ نَعَمْ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌۢ بَيْنَهُمْ أَن لَّعْنَةُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

12:70

فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ ٱلسِّقَايَةَ فِى رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَٰرِقُونَ

22:27

وَأَذِّن فِى ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

Tentative Quran-internal core tested across all 102 family occurrences. The 84 assigned targets were partitioned exactly, while the 18 protected أذن ear occurrences were inspected but not edited; those concrete organs anchor auditory reception. Permission constructions profile a request or act being admitted, while announcement and notification constructions make a message enter another's hearing. At 2:279 Shubah has a lengthened notice form while the other aligned witnesses have the receptive imperative; take notice preserves their shared war-notice force without erasing the directional nuance. No exact lexical collision was found. The broad bridge from physical hearing to authorization, the aligned variation at 2:279, and the heeding use in surah 84 remain explicit user-review questions.
