وَلَا تُجَٰدِلْ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْتَانُونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ خَوَّانًا أَثِيمًا
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Why this meaning was chosen
All 48 family occurrences were reviewed across three bounded pages. The compacted noun-only proposal was reconciled with the whole root family: Quran 6:120 links earning the offense with recompense, 2:283 applies the active participle to a heart that conceals testimony, and 68:12 places the intensive descriptor among repeated traits. The two Form II verbal nouns occur beside idle speech in 52:23 and 56:25; all seven aligned witnesses preserve the same lexical form and construction. The result noun أَثَام in 25:68 is provisionally rendered as the encountered requital of offense because 25:69 immediately describes doubled punishment; that localized question is retained for user review rather than promoted to an accepted distinction.
