7:46

وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ وَعَلَى ٱلْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلًّۢا بِسِيمَىٰهُمْ وَنَادَوْا۟ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ

7:48

وَنَادَىٰٓ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالًا يَعْرِفُونَهُم بِسِيمَىٰهُمْ قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 71 occurrences were reviewed on the complete family page. The one-core test joins recognition, mutual recognition, acknowledgment, making known, and ma'ruf as recognized good. The compacted recognized proposal was treated only as a candidate and reconciled with all verbal forms. Arafat and the aʿraf are isolated as exact place-name and spatial collisions; 7:46 itself contrasts standing upon the aʿraf with recognizing people. Urfan at 77:1 is isolated by oath syntax and remains explicitly reviewable. Seven aligned witnesses were checked at 2:198, 7:46, 7:199, 47:6, 66:3, and 77:1; they preserve the relevant constructions. No accepted meaning or pre-run draft was edited.
