سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ ٱلْكَذَّابُ ٱلْأَشِرُ
Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered both occurrences of أَشِر in 54:25-26. Thamud apply it to Salih alongside كَذَّاب when rejecting that revelation came to him, and the response says they will soon know who the lying أَشِر truly is. The immediate reversal confirms a condemnatory personal quality tied to the speaker's self-asserting false claim. Because this two-ayah exchange supplies no independent action or comparison that fixes the adjective's finer nuance, the provisional rendering insolent requires user review. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
