7:74

وَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَعَلَكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ عَادٍ وَبَوَّأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِن سُهُولِهَا قُصُورًا وَتَنْحِتُونَ ٱلْجِبَالَ بُيُوتًا فَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ ءَالَآءَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ

22:45

فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَٰهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَقَصْرٍ مَّشِيدٍ

25:10

تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِن شَآءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرًا مِّن ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ وَيَجْعَل لَّكَ قُصُورًۢا

77:32

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍ كَٱلْقَصْرِ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 11 family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; all are frozen targets, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Prayer and hair provide direct extent reduction; gaze and residence provide restraint or enclosure; Form IV negates stopping. Three Quranic contexts independently identify قَصْر as a constructed residence, licensing 'palace' in the 77:32 scale simile without external authority. No recitation-sensitive or unresolved Quran-internal contradiction remains.
