Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of Form I وَقَبَ at 113:3. Refuge is sought from the harm of غَاسِق when it performs this action; Quran-internal uses of غَسَق associate the referent with the onset or deepening of night darkness. The temporal إِذَا construction and harmful dark referent establish the settling arrival of darkness. With no second occurrence of وَقَبَ, the Quran does not independently calibrate whether the image should foreground entry, spreading, or deepening. The target is third-person masculine singular perfect. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
