ٱلْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَّعْلُومَٰتٌ فَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ ٱلْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِى ٱلْحَجِّ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍ يَعْلَمْهُ ٱللَّهُ وَتَزَوَّدُوا۟ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ ٱلزَّادِ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَٱتَّقُونِ يَٰٓأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ

قَالُوا۟ يَٰنُوحُ قَدْ جَٰدَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَٰلَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal comparison across all 29 occurrences supports reciprocal contention through claims. Form III covers defense of wrongdoers, rejection of signs, Abraham's appeal regarding Lot's people, a soul's self-defense, the commanded best manner of engagement, and a woman's plea concerning her husband. These contexts differ in truth, evidence, purpose, and manner, but not in the lexical act of pressing a contested case. جِدَال names the exchange, while جَدَل profiles contention as a human disposition or argumentative purpose. No compacted candidate, collision, reading divergence, or unresolved semantic question remains.
