19:47

قَالَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيْكَ سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ بِى حَفِيًّا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all three occurrences. The adjective at 7:187 presents presumed close engagement with the Hour, the adjective at 19:47 describes sustained favorable attention toward Abraham, and Form IV at 47:37 intensifies a demand until it presses the addressees. The affected domain changes, but each construction profiles attention carried to a high degree. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. Whether 7:187 emphasizes acquired information or persistent inquiry remains a segment-linked review point; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
