10:26

لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌ وَلَا يَرْهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمْ قَتَرٌ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

Alternative: restrict resource outflow

Research rendering: darkening facial cover

Substitution fails here: restrict resource outflow would impose the first unit's predicate on a segment whose frozen form and Quran-internal construction require darkening facial cover. This is the concrete contradiction supporting the lexeme partition.
