Why this meaning was chosen
Both family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; both are frozen targets, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 18:6 and 26:3 use the same active participle with نَفْسَكَ as object in parallel warnings about the addressees' refusal to believe; 18:6 explicitly names grief. The participial predicate, second-person possessor, object, and causal clauses compose locally. No aligned reading payload, Quran-internal counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
