وَإِذَا جَآءَهُمْ أَمْرٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْنِ أَوِ ٱلْخَوْفِ أَذَاعُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰٓ أُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَنۢبِطُونَهُۥ مِنْهُمْ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ لَٱتَّبَعْتُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of Form IV أَذَاعُوا at 4:83. When a matter concerning security or fear reaches certain people, they perform this action with it; the ayah contrasts that response with referring the matter to the messenger and those in authority so qualified people can determine it. Receiving a report, acting بِهِ, and the corrective referral establish uncontrolled public circulation of information. The target is third-person masculine plural perfect. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
