لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا ٱكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ أَنتَ مَوْلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Tentative Quran-internal core tested across all 64 family occurrences, all of which are assigned targets. The family repeatedly joins physical transport, pregnancy, entrusted scripture, moral consequence, and named loads through the relation between a bearer and what it sustains. Surah 62:5 makes the bridge especially explicit by juxtaposing people charged with the Torah, their failure to carry it, and a donkey carrying books. Form VIII internalizes or gathers the load, while Form II assigns it. At 20:87 Shubah, Al-Duri, and Al-Susi use an active carrying form, whereas the other aligned witnesses use a passive causative form; the shared rendering carry preserves the ornaments as the common load while leaving voice to morphology. No exact lexical collision was found. The pressure construction at 7:176 and the aligned voice variation at 20:87 remain explicit user-review questions.
