112:4

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is an indefinite accusative predicate with أَحَدٌ as the delayed subject and God as the referent of لَهُ. Its total negation concludes the surah's sequence of divine unity, self-sufficiency, and unmatched generation. All seven aligned witnesses preserve the same noun and negated predication despite orthographic presentation differences.
