4:6

وَٱبْتَلُوا۟ ٱلْيَتَٰمَىٰ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغُوا۟ ٱلنِّكَاحَ فَإِنْ ءَانَسْتُم مِّنْهُمْ رُشْدًا فَٱدْفَعُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوهَآ إِسْرَافًا وَبِدَارًا أَن يَكْبَرُوا۟ وَمَن كَانَ غَنِيًّا فَلْيَسْتَعْفِفْ وَمَن كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ فَإِذَا دَفَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فَأَشْهِدُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ حَسِيبًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal comparison across all 19 family occurrences supports sound direction as the shared core. The finite verb profiles becoming rightly directed; the action nouns name a sound path, goal, or outcome; the orphan clause applies the core to competent property judgment; Abraham's granted رشد profiles sound discernment; رشيد and راشد profile persons or commands characterized by such direction; مرشد profiles one who causes it. The rhetorical force at 11:87 remains reviewable. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited, and no exact segment set forces a lexical collision.
