وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَإِذَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ مُّحْكَمَةٌ وَذُكِرَ فِيهَا ٱلْقِتَالُ رَأَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ نَظَرَ ٱلْمَغْشِىِّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ فَأَوْلَىٰ لَهُمْ

Why this meaning was chosen

One Quran-internal nextness core is tested across all 232 family occurrences. Protected prior drafts remain untouched. Form II composes causation, Form V self-orientation, nouns the close relation or state, and أَوْلَى comparative nearness; contextual rules supply turn-away, alliance, guardianship, friendship, succession, and priority renderings without multiplying lexical cores. Seven aligned witnesses were consulted only at the ambiguous dual, abstract nouns, and warning formulae.
