6:3

وَهُوَ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهْرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ

9:78

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَىٰهُمْ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ

20:7

وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى

25:6

قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ ٱلَّذِى يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

43:80

أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَىٰهُم بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Tentative Quran-internal core tested across all 44 family occurrences. The 43 assigned targets were partitioned exactly, while the protected تسر delights occurrence at 2:69 was inspected but not edited. Secrecy is anchored by repeated direct contrasts with declaring, public action, and open speech, especially 2:77, 6:3, 13:10, and 67:13. The physical couch nouns, the prosperity nouns, and the joy expressions cannot receive that concealment rendering without contradicting their Quran-internal constructions, so their exact target sets are marked as lexical collisions. The protected 2:69 occurrence independently reinforces the pleasure collision. At 47:26 the frozen source treats the form as an event noun while all seven aligned editions display a plural secrets form; secrecy preserves their shared concealed-content profile. The aligned editions do not change the concealment force at the two remorse passages. The collision boundaries and the 47:26 noun structure remain explicit user-review questions.
