18:12

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ أَىُّ ٱلْحِزْبَيْنِ أَحْصَىٰ لِمَا لَبِثُوٓا۟ أَمَدًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all 11 occurrences. Ten finite Form IV predicates concern exhaustive accounting of blessings, deeds, people, things, a waiting period, or measured time; the nominal أَحْصَىٰ at 18:12 compares two parties in precision regarding a duration. The nearby عدّ and عدد expressions at 19:94 and 72:28 confirm the quantitative profile, while book and record contexts show that the core includes complete retention rather than mere momentary counting. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. No protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
