وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا ٱلْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا ٱتِّبَاعَ ٱلظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًۢا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the full 12-occurrence family while limiting edits to the two unfrozen targets. The protected Form VI material already establishes reciprocal similarity across fruit, hearts, creation, and passages; it was inspected but not mutated. The editable Form VIII participle at 6:99 profiles resemblance, while the passive Form II at 4:157 presents resemblance as brought about for an affected audience. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. The unexpressed subject and comparison target at 4:157 remain a segment-linked review question; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
