9:28

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ ٱلْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦٓ إِن شَآءَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

93:8

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered both occurrences. The event noun at 9:28 names a feared condition that God promises to counter by enriching the believers from His bounty. The active participle at 93:8 characterizes the addressee before God enriched him. Both passages use the same direct contrast with غنى, fixing one material-insufficiency core across condition and person. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
