وَإِنِّى خِفْتُ ٱلْمَوَٰلِىَ مِن وَرَآءِى وَكَانَتِ ٱمْرَأَتِى عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِى مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا
قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِى غُلَٰمٌ وَكَانَتِ ٱمْرَأَتِى عَاقِرًا وَقَدْ بَلَغْتُ مِنَ ٱلْكِبَرِ عِتِيًّا
Why this meaning was chosen
All eight family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Five form I perfect verbs describe Thamud's fatal disabling of the she-camel; person, number, object suffix, and narrative subject compose locally. Three active participles characterize Zechariah's wife as unable to bear a child, with case and predication composed morphologically. The contexts select physical striking down versus generative incapacity, but both instantiate disabling a living capacity at its source; no Quran-internal contradiction requires a collision branch. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
