وَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَقْصُرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَن يَفْتِنَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ كَانُوا۟ لَكُمْ عَدُوًّا مُّبِينًا

Why this meaning was chosen

All 11 family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; all are frozen targets, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Prayer and hair provide direct extent reduction; gaze and residence provide restraint or enclosure; Form IV negates stopping. Three Quranic contexts independently identify قَصْر as a constructed residence, licensing 'palace' in the 77:32 scale simile without external authority. No recitation-sensitive or unresolved Quran-internal contradiction remains.
