نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِذْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِذْ هُمْ نَجْوَىٰٓ إِذْ يَقُولُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ تِسْعَ ءَايَٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَٰتٍ فَسْـَٔلْ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِذْ جَآءَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُۥ فِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّى لَأَظُنُّكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ مَسْحُورًا
أَوْ يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا
Why this meaning was chosen
All 63 family occurrences were reviewed on one page, with no protected segments or compacted candidates. Quran 2:102 anchors a taught, harmful practice that can separate spouses; Quran 7:116 anchors manipulation of people's eyes and fear; Quran 20:66 calls the produced effect imagined. Three vocalized سَحَر occurrences instead denote the pre-dawn time: 3:17 and 51:18 locate seeking forgiveness then, while 54:34 locates rescue then. Those three form an exact Quran-internal homograph branch, and the other 60 targets compose from sorcery by noun, voice, agent, intensity, and recipient morphology.
