CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: NINE ayat, and the count is high precisely because the Name-form is not Qurʼānic — the evidence has to be built from the attribute. The Name-form stands in the enumeration at at-Tirmidhī 3507, which is ḍaʻīf by al-Albānī, Aḥmad Shākir and Darussalam, and Ibn Ḥazm, Ibn al-Wazīr and Ibn ʻUthaymīn exclude it, the last preferring Al-Muqsiṭ, Name 86 (his list carries neither, and Ibn Mājah 3861’s carries Al-Muqsiṭ and not this Name: corrected in build 182, by the author’s decision, A38). 21:47, the scales at which no soul is wronged by a seed’s weight, now with aṭ-Ṭabarī on the gloss and on the grammar of qisṭ standing as the description of a plural; 16:90, now with aṭ-Ṭabarī on al-inṣāf and Ibn Kathīr on al-qisṭ and the balancing, with 16:126 and 42:40 beside it; 3:18, SHARED WITH NAMES 63 AND 86, now with Ibn Kathīr on the circumstantial accusative and on the distinction the verse gives the learned; 5:8, SHARED WITH NAME 63, now with the report of an-Nuʻmān ibn Bashīr that Ibn Kathīr gives under it; 4:135, SHARED WITH NAME 63, now reading the closing taʻdilū as the Name’s own word used of the failure; 6:115, whose note is rebuilt.
ADDED: 55:7–9, where one word, al-mīzān, stands three times and travels from the sky to the marketplace without changing, with Ibn Kathīr reading the mīzān as al-ʻadl and citing 57:25; 4:58, the Name’s word joined to the act of Name 28, with Ibn Kathīr; and 6:1, THE NAME’S OWN VERB IN ITS OPPOSED SENSE, with Ibn Kathīr and Ibn Fāris. All three are appended, the other sub-items keep their positions, and the distinct Qurʼan-page verse count in Notes on This Edition moves from 368 to 371.
NAMED HERE BUT NOT CARRIED ON THIS PAGE: 82:7, carried at Name 13; 6:114, carried at Name 28; 57:25, carried at Name 53; 4:40, carried at Name 86; 6:150, 27:60, 2:48, 2:123, 6:70, 5:106, 65:2, 16:126, 7:159 and 7:181, all carried at NO Name; 42:40, carried at Name 82; 5:95, carried at Name 81.
CORRECTED ON THE RECORD, THE COUNTS: computed from the Tanzil text with strip, ʻ-d-l gives only 28 words in 24 verses, which is a small count for a Name of this weight and is itself the reason this page carries nine ayat.
THE ROOT IS PREDICATED OF ALLAH TWICE: 6:115, wa ʻadlan, of His word, and 82:7, fa-ʻadalaka, of His shaping of man, where the readers divide and which is carried at Name 13. THREE TIMES THE VERB MEANS THE CONTRARY — 6:1, 6:150 and 27:60, of those who set up an equal to their Lord. The rest is what He commands or what people owe: bi-l-ʻadl six times, taʻdilū four, and iʻdilū, fa-ʻdilū and li-aʻdila once each; yaʻdilūn twice more, at 7:159 and 7:181, of a community that guides by the truth and by it acts justly; ʻadl as a ransom at 2:48, 2:123 and 6:70, where the verb taʻdil stands beside it, and as an equivalent at 5:95; and two just men, who judge at 5:95 and witness at 5:106 and 65:2 (corrected in build 154).
CORRECTED, THE ROOT: the gloss said balance, equity, straightness, which gives only one half of the root. IBN FĀRIS DIVIDES ʻAYN-DĀL-LĀM IN TWO AND CALLS THE TWO HALVES OPPOSED LIKE CONTRARIES: one denotes evenness, the other crookedness — and he names the idolater who sets his Lord level with another as an instance of the second (his entry, on the islamweb text, files the idolater under the first, the level, and the second is swerving: corrected in build 182, by the author’s decision, A37). The gloss now follows him with glossBasis ref, and a senseNote is added giving the halves and the senses that are not the Name’s.
READ: Ibn Fāris in full on the islamweb transcription. NOT READ for this root: Lisān al-ʻArab, al-Jawharī, al-Fayyūmī, ar-Rāghib al-Iṣfahānī and az-Zabīdī, and nothing is claimed from them.
CORRECTED, THE DESC: it gave the root as one thing when the lexicon gives two; it said His law, His creation and His decree hold a single equilibrium, which no source here states; and it carried the ḥadīth qudsī without naming a Companion.
CORRECTED, THE REF: it carried the long citation forms Jāmiʻ at-Tirmidhī 3507 and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2577a, both now in house form; it gave no count, no lexicon and no commentator, and it did not state the grades of 3507.
CORRECTED, THE QURʼAN NOTES: five of the six carried no commentator, and the note at 6:115 carried a production remark naming the Meaning page and two runs of capitals, all removed. ONE duʻāʼ, SHARED WITH NAME 2.
CORRECTED, AND THIS IS THE HOUSEKEEPING FAULT THIS PASS CAME FOR: ITS SOURCE FIELD HELD AN ESSAY — sixty words on the wording of three routes, sitting where a citation belongs, and the identical string stood at Name 2. Both now read al-Bukhārī 834; Muslim 2705b, which is the pair of numbers that carries the wording actually printed, and the apparatus is moved into the notes at both Names, with Muslim 2705a’s ẓulman kabīran and Qutaybah’s variant stated there. Name 2 is edited for that reason alone; its own reading of the supplication is untouched. THREE aḥādīth, all ṣaḥīḥ, and two of the three shared. Muslim 2577a, SHARED WITH NAMES 16, 88 AND 94 (named in build 154): its note now names Abū Dharr, states that the two clauses printed are the two ends of a long report, and says what stands between them. Muslim 2582: its note now gives yuqāda as the verb of qiṣāṣ, so that what is described is the taking of a specific due and not a general settling. Muslim 1827, SHARED WITH NAME 86: its note keeps the correction about the Companion and now states that al-muqsiṭīn is from qisṭ, which is Name 86’s root and not this one’s.
MEDS 29: three occurrences of the tradition are replaced — the two Names now stand shoulder to shoulder in the enumeration, the ḥadīth qudsī is attributed to Abū Dharr, and the sheep report to Abū Hurayrah; the superlative calling it the most extraordinary sentence ever spoken about power is dropped, since no source supports it.
POEMS 29: one line said the ruling fell in whoever’s favor happened to be holding the scale, which trips the book’s own check on that phrase and is reworded. CH 29 checked and unchanged.
OPEN: 6:150 and 27:60, the other two places the verb carries the contrary sense, are carried at no Name; 42:15, where the Prophet ﷺ is commanded to do justice, li-aʻdila, likewise; 6:152, whose fa-ʻdilū is the one remaining imperative, is carried at Name 86 since that Name’s pass (corrected in build 154).
OPEN: whether Al-Muqsiṭ at Name 86 should carry a cross-reference to this page in its own rootRelation, since the two Names are read together by those who exclude this one — closed below, on the author’s decision.
AUDIT: the 28 was taken by matching every word whose consonants run ʻayn, dāl, lām in that order with at most one weak letter between them, which returns no look-alikes in this root.
COHERENCE: Name 2 is edited once, in the source field of the supplication it shares with this Name, and in the note that explains it; Names 13, 16, 53 and 86 are named here and are not edited.
AFTER NAME 81: 5:95 is now carried at Name 81, and the NAMED line says so.
AFTER NAME 82: 42:40 is now carried at Name 82 too, and this note says so.
AFTER NAME 86: 21:47 is now carried at Name 86 too, with the same Arabic and English, and linked exactly both ways; Muslim 1827 at Name 86 has new English for its own page.
AFTER NAME 88: Name 88 carries another portion of Muslim 2577a, from all of you are hungry to the most wicked heart, linked both ways. AFTER THE CHAT-END AUDIT OF 1–99: the capitalised runs in the desc and the ref are set in lower case, the words unchanged.
ON THE AUTHOR’S DECISION, THE CROSS-REFERENCE: the author has settled the question Name 29’s OPEN section raised. Al-Muqsiṭ and Al-ʻAdl now point at each other with the rootRelation status distinct-explicit, which is what Names 58 and 95 carry for the one other pair in the book that a reader needs told about — two Names of different roots that are taken for one another. q-s-ṭ and ʻ-d-l are unrelated and neither page pretends otherwise; what ties them is that those who leave Al-ʻAdl out of the ninety-nine put Al-Muqsiṭ in its place. The link is reciprocal, as every other relation in the book is, and the evidence sits in each ref rather than each desc, because both descs stand within four tokens of the ceiling. The ref here gains one clause: some enumerations put Al-Muqsiṭ in this place. The item is closed.
IN BUILD 154, FROM THE PHASE 2 READING: the ref and the counts above give the whole partition of the 28 — yaʻdilūn of the just at 7:159 and 7:181, now in the named line, taʻdil beside the ransom at 6:70, the equivalent at 5:95 — and the two just men as judges at 5:95 and witnesses at 5:106 and 65:2; the ref’s count sentence gives up the words the partition needed. The carried line names Name 63 for 3:18, 5:8 and 4:135, and the ḥadīth line Names 88 and 94 for Muslim 2577a, whose note now names every clause between its ends. The duʻāʼ note gives Muslim 2705b’s route in its order, meeting al-Layth’s at Yazīd; the note on Muslim 1827 names both clauses its ellipsis drops and no longer narrates the page; the 6:115 note gives Ibn Kathīr his own gloss after Qatādah’s words; the 4:135 note gives the swerving to aṭ-Ṭabarī, with Ibn Kathīr’s reading beside it. The first OPEN item is set right and the second marked closed. Waiting on the author: the reflection’s quotations (A36), Ibn Fāris’s placement of the idolater (A37), Ibn ʻUthaymīn’s list (A38) and the status line (A39).
BY THE AUTHOR’S DECISIONS OF 2026-09-25, IN BUILD 182: MEDS 29 quotes Muslim 2577a, the atom’s weight, 21:47 and 5:8 in the book’s English, its framing kept, and the sheep’s due is from the horned one (A36); the desc, the senseNote, the 6:1 note and the line above give Ibn Fāris’s placement of the idolater under the first half of the root, and swerving as the second (A37); the ref names Ibn Mājah 3861’s list, which carries Al-Muqsiṭ and not this Name, and drops its closing sentence, and the line above says Ibn ʻUthaymīn’s list carries neither (A38); the status line reads Verified — enumerated; contested Name-form, attribute well-attested (A39); Muslim 1827’s shared words take Name 86’s the equitable, that Name’s own word, and this page keeps its English for the rest, which Name 86 takes (A23).
