65:6

أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجْدِكُمْ وَلَا تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُوا۟ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَإِن كُنَّ أُو۟لَٰتِ حَمْلٍ فَأَنفِقُوا۟ عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَأْتَمِرُوا۟ بَيْنَكُم بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَإِن تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهُۥٓ أُخْرَىٰ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal comparison across all 12 occurrences anchors the family in obstructive difficulty: 2:185 contrasts it directly with ease, 2:280 delays collection until ease follows financial strait, 65:7 promises ease after difficulty, and 94:5-6 places ease with difficulty. Adjectival forms qualify the Day as hard, Form VI marks reciprocal creation of difficulty, and 92:10 names the difficult counterpart to ease in 92:7. The exact profile of العسرى at 92:10 remains reviewable. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited.
