28:15

وَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ عَلَىٰ حِينِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ هَٰذَا مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ وَهَٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ فَٱسْتَغَٰثَهُ ٱلَّذِى مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ عَلَى ٱلَّذِى مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ فَوَكَزَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ فَقَضَىٰ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هَٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ إِنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِينٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed the sole frozen occurrence on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target row. Quran 28:15 has Moses intervene between two fighting men by وكزه, immediately resulting in the man's death; Moses then recognizes the act's grave consequence. The single direct strike and immediate result establish a concentrated blow rather than extended fighting.
