ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

28:42

وَأَتْبَعْنَٰهُمْ فِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ هُم مِّنَ ٱلْمَقْبُوحِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 172 family occurrences were reviewed across two pages. The protected perfect Form I draft remains untouched. Quran 2:166 explicitly contrasts followed leaders with followers, while path, pursuit, adherence, consequence, attendance, and consecutive-time contexts preserve one following core. Every canonical, branch, and rule rendering is singular.
