قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلْقُرُونِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَءَامَنُوا۟ بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ
سَيَهْدِيهِمْ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَهُمْ
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 12:50 and 20:51 use مَا بَالُ to ask about the condition or case of groups, while 47:2 and 47:5 use أَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ for rectifying people's condition. Interrogative construction, nominative versus accusative case, construct relations, and attached possessors compose locally. No aligned reading payload or Quran-internal contradiction requires a lexical split or unresolved issue.
