قَالَ فَٱذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّن تُخْلَفَهُۥ وَٱنظُرْ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِى ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ نَسْفًا

Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal comparison across all 61 family occurrences supports direct contact as the shared core. Most clauses profile a condition, benefit, harm, punishment, fatigue, age, or satanic influence directly affecting a person. Concrete clauses use contact with the she-camel, fire, oil, or the protected text; marriage and conception contexts profile intimate contact; لا مساس names a state of prohibited contact. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited, and no exact segment set forces a lexical collision.
