10:53

وَيَسْتَنۢبِـُٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ قُلْ إِى وَرَبِّىٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The full 160-segment family supports one report core. The 29 content nouns render as report or reports; the 50 finite verbs compose as report, reports, reported, be reported to, or seek a report; 75 نبي nouns render as report-bearer or report-bearers; and the five نبوة nouns render as report-bearing office. Quran 19:51, 19:54, and 22:52 prevent messenger from replacing نبي because messenger and نبي are separately stated. Quran 2:213, 3:79, 19:30, and 33:45 distinguish the appointed divine bearer and office from a generic reporter.
