Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the full three-occurrence family. The editable target at 6:26 says people forbid others from the message or messenger while themselves keeping away from it or him. The protected parallel occurrences at 17:83 and 41:51 describe a person turning aside and drawing away with his side after receiving favor; they were inspected under MH-naa-drew-away but not edited. All three establish self-distancing, with prepositions and body posture specifying the relation. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was mutated and no exact lexical collision was found.
