Word path · where ر-ق-ب falls in the muṣḥaf
Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times ر-ق-ب 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 5 (3 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 85 pages — pages 233–317, juzʾ 12–16.
