ٱلَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبُخْلِ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ
Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all 12 occurrences. Ten Form I predicates describe retaining divine bounty or refusing called-for expenditure; two action nouns name the same conduct when people command it to others. Giving, spending, and divine bounty repeatedly supply the withheld domain, while 47:38 states that the consequence returns against the withholding self. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. No protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
