فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ مُوسَى ٱلْأَجَلَ وَسَارَ بِأَهْلِهِۦٓ ءَانَسَ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ نَارًا قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ جَذْوَةٍ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ
Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal comparison across all 52 occurrences supports knowledge that reaches beneath appearance to a matter's actual condition. خَبِير repeatedly closes commands and judgments by asserting Allah's full awareness of deeds, servants, hidden outcomes, and creation. خُبْر is explicitly something one may or may not encompass, خَبَر is information Moses seeks to bring from the fire, and أَخْبَار are accounts made known, tested, or narrated. The exact scope of أَخْبَارَكُمْ at 47:31 remains reviewable. No protected meaning, compacted candidate, or reading divergence affects the analysis.
