15:33

قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن صَلْصَٰلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

All four family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 15:26, 15:28, and 15:33 coordinate the material with altered mud, while 55:14 compares it with pottery. These contextual descriptions converge on one creation material. The noun is indefinite genitive after مِن in every target, so no morphological split is needed. No aligned reading payload, Quran-internal counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
