Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of Form I يَحِيفَ at 24:50. Those who turn away when summoned to God and His messenger for judgment are asked whether they fear that God and His messenger will deal unjustly against them; the ayah instead identifies those people themselves as the wrongdoers. The judgment setting, fear construction with against them, and explicit reversal to wrongdoing establish unfair adverse judgment. The target is third-person masculine singular subjunctive. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
