offend God, the apostle, or believers are threatened with curse and punishment;
women are told to cast outer garments over themselves in public; hypocrites and
disturbers in Medina are threatened; knowledge of the last hour belongs to God;

punishment or fire for them, and enforces a divine sentence.
evidence_refs:
- ev:4
- ev:6

confidence: high
cautions: This is a broad motif family identification based on explicit judgment
and punishment language.
- id: motif:2
label: eschatological fire for the condemned
taxonomy_refs:
- divine_judgment
basis: Infidels are assigned to fierce fire forever, and the condemned are described
speaking on a day when their faces are rolled in hell fire.
evidence_refs:
- ev:8
- ev:9
confidence: high
cautions: The available taxonomy includes fire as a symbol but not a distinct hell
or apocalypse motif; classification is therefore under divine judgment.
- id: motif:3
label: misleading leaders blamed by followers
taxonomy_refs: []
basis: The punished say that their lords and great men seduced them from the right
way and ask that these leaders receive double punishment.
evidence_refs:
- ev:9
confidence: medium
cautions: The motif is derived from a short speech scene and has no supplied taxonomy
reference.
- id: motif:4
label: vindication of a slandered prophet
taxonomy_refs:
- divine_judgment
basis: Believers are warned not to imitate those who injured Moses, and God is said
to have cleared him from the scandal.
evidence_refs:
- ev:10
confidence: medium
cautions: The passage gives only a brief allusion to the scandal against Moses without
narrating the episode.
- id: motif:5
label: sacred regulation of social boundaries
taxonomy_refs:
- covenant
basis: The passage presents divine commands governing who may speak unveiled, public
garments for women, and communal conduct toward the prophet.
evidence_refs:

confidence: low
cautions: The covenant taxonomy reference is only approximate; the passage states
commands and social rules but does not explicitly use covenant language.
