فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُۥ زَوْجَهُۥٓ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا وَكَانُوا۟ لَنَا خَٰشِعِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All eight family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Three عَن constructions orient inclination away, including a self-preference construction at 9:120. One bare أَن clause supplies the desired marriage action directly. Two active participles and one imperative take إِلَى to orient aspiration toward God, while one action noun names hopeful longing in contrast with fear. Tense, person, number, mood, participial number, nominal case, governing preposition, reflexive accompaniment, and clausal complement compose locally. The complement-driven polarity is not a Quran-internal lexical collision, and no aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
