Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the Form IV verbal noun إِلْحَاف at 2:273. The poor being described are restrained enough that an uninformed person thinks them rich, they are recognized only by signs, and they do not ask people in the target manner. The explicit self-restraint, hidden need, asking verb, and negated manner establish persistent or pressing solicitation. The target is indefinite masculine accusative singular functioning adverbially. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
