4:5
وَلَا تُؤْتُوا۟ ٱلسُّفَهَآءَ أَمْوَٰلَكُمُ ٱلَّتِى جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ قِيَٰمًا وَٱرْزُقُوهُمْ فِيهَا وَٱكْسُوهُمْ وَقُولُوا۟ لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا
Alternative: the wealth which God made standing for you
Research rendering: the wealth which God made a support for you
The wealth is what sustains the addressees and is the object from which they must provide food and clothing; English 'standing' obscures that Quran-internal support relation.
Why this meaning was chosen
Tested across all 660 Quranic occurrences in the frozen family. The 153 uncovered segments retain one standing-and-stability core; tense, voice, intensification, comparison, and nominal pattern supply the exact renderings below. Existing accepted meanings and earlier drafts were treated as protected comparison evidence and were not edited. The two compacted Qiyamah candidates were reconciled across all seventy frozen event-noun occurrences rather than inherited as decisions. Seven aligned recitation witnesses were consulted only where vocalization or construction could affect the analysis.
