13:6

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِمُ ٱلْمَثُلَٰتُ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ ظُلْمِهِمْ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 169 family occurrences were reviewed across two bounded pages. The 163 protected example, likeness, and dual-likeness records remain untouched. The six frozen targets comprise a punitive exemplar, Form V appearance in human form, two superlative exemplar adjectives, and two fashioned representations. Each composes from resemblance or exemplary status without requiring a new lexical core. No compacted candidates, recitation-sensitive readings, or unresolved Quran-internal contradictions occur.
