31:19

وَٱقْصِدْ فِى مَشْيِكَ وَٱغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ ٱلْأَصْوَٰتِ لَصَوْتُ ٱلْحَمِيرِ

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْوَٰتَهُمْ عِندَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱمْتَحَنَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

All four family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Two jussive imperfects direct believing men and women to restrain their gaze; an imperative and an indicative imperfect reduce the intensity of a voice. Person, gender, number, mood, command force, object, and مِن partitive construction compose locally. Sight range and vocal intensity are contextual objects of the same deliberate reduction core, not separate Quran-internal meanings. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
