Word path · where ن-ب-أ falls in the muṣḥaf
Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times ن-ب-أ occurs on it. Counted, not interpreted — a bright page is where the word is dense, which is a fact about vocabulary and not a claim about what the page teaches.
Densest in juzʾ 28 (15 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 22 pages — pages 265–286, juzʾ 14–15.
