يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنَّهَآ إِن تَكُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُن فِى صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ أَوْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا ٱللَّهُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ
Why this meaning was chosen
Both family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; both are frozen targets, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 21:47 and 31:16 use the identical phrase مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ, respectively emphasizing just accounting and God's ability to bring forth what is hidden. The mass noun is indefinite genitive after مِن in both targets; the measure phrase composes locally. No aligned reading payload, Quran-internal counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
