12:50

وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ ٱلرَّسُولُ قَالَ ٱرْجِعْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَسْـَٔلْهُ مَا بَالُ ٱلنِّسْوَةِ ٱلَّٰتِى قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ

20:51

قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلْقُرُونِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

47:2

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَءَامَنُوا۟ بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ

47:5

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.
