12:32

قَالَتْ فَذَٰلِكُنَّ ٱلَّذِى لُمْتُنَّنِى فِيهِ وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ فَٱسْتَعْصَمَ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَآ ءَامُرُهُۥ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُونًا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 13 family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; all are frozen targets, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Form VIII takes secure hold of God or His rope; Form I and its participle protect from a named threat; Form X internalizes protection as resistance; and the plural noun denotes marriage bonds that hold spouses together. Quran 11:43 places verb and protector noun in one exchange. No recitation-sensitive, collision, or unresolved issue remains.
