Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all three occurrences. The plural noun at 2:283 denotes possessions physically taken and held in a debt setting. The masculine and feminine predicates at 52:21 and 74:38 apply the same holding relation to a person or soul in connection with what each has earned. The objects and grounds differ, but all three constructions bind a held party to a claim. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. No protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
