18:68

وَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَىٰ مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ خُبْرًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal comparison across all 52 occurrences supports knowledge that reaches beneath appearance to a matter's actual condition. خَبِير repeatedly closes commands and judgments by asserting Allah's full awareness of deeds, servants, hidden outcomes, and creation. خُبْر is explicitly something one may or may not encompass, خَبَر is information Moses seeks to bring from the fire, and أَخْبَار are accounts made known, tested, or narrated. The exact scope of أَخْبَارَكُمْ at 47:31 remains reviewable. No protected meaning, compacted candidate, or reading divergence affects the analysis.
