Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of Form VIII أَحْتَنِكَ at 17:62. Satan vows emphatically to do this to Adam's descendants except a few if granted respite; the continuation explains his program through voice, mounted and foot forces, participation in wealth and children, and deceptive promises, while denying him authority over faithful servants. This contrast establishes attempted comprehensive control and direction. The target is first-person singular imperfect with emphatic particles around it. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
