2:88

وَقَالُوا۟ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌۢ بَل لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَقَلِيلًا مَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

4:155

فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِم مِّيثَٰقَهُمْ وَكُفْرِهِم بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَتْلِهِمُ ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَقَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌۢ بَلْ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Both family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; both are frozen targets, with no protected records. The compacted proposal LAA-2-84-93-ghulf-covered was inspected but remains candidate-only and was not treated as authority. Independently, Quran 2:88 and 4:155 repeat the claim that the speakers' hearts are غُلْف, then answer it with curse or divine sealing because of disbelief. The plural indefinite nominative predicate agrees with قُلُوبُنَا in both verses. No aligned reading payload, failure counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
