Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all six occurrences. The duplicated cognate constructions at 7:200 and 41:36 describe an inciting impulse from Satan directed at an individual and prescribe seeking refuge in God. At 12:100 and 17:53 Satan acts between people, producing estrangement or threatening conflict that better speech must prevent. Inner provocation and interpersonal division share disruptive incitement as one core. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
