4:129

وَلَن تَسْتَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَن تَعْدِلُوا۟ بَيْنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ فَلَا تَمِيلُوا۟ كُلَّ ٱلْمَيْلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَٱلْمُعَلَّقَةِ وَإِن تُصْلِحُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

12:103

وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

16:37

إِن تَحْرِصْ عَلَىٰ هُدَىٰهُمْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى مَن يُضِلُّ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All five family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. One elative descriptor identifies people as the most eager for continued life. Three Form-I verbs predicate intense effort toward equitable treatment, people's belief, or their guidance. One intensive descriptor characterizes the Messenger's concern for the addressees. Degree, tense, person, mood, conditional framing, عَلَى relation, and implicit goal compose locally. Life, fairness, belief, guidance, and pastoral care supply different objects and evaluations while preserving the same intensified-concern core without Quran-internal contradiction. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
