أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَٰبِقُونَ
وَقَٰرُونَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ سَٰبِقِينَ
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌۢ بِٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ
لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ
وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ
وَٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ ٱلسَّٰبِقُونَ
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
Why this meaning was chosen
All 37 family occurrences were reviewed on one page, with no protected segments or compacted candidates. Quran 15:5 and 23:43 anchor temporal precedence against an appointed term; 12:25 anchors two participants racing to a door; 21:27 negates speaking ahead of God; and 36:40 negates night getting ahead of day. The same earlier-position core covers prior words, peoples, deeds, movement, escape, and ordered cycles. The exact target is partitioned by finite, reciprocal, participial, passive, and event morphology, with no witness-sensitive context or unresolved challenge.
