# Bāb 7 — Body Praying ⚠ Two YAML files at position 23

LORA-listed at Ch 8; mushaf has **two near-identical YAML files** for this surah at the same position 23. Body provenance unverified.

## L — LORA-original (title only)

Transcript line **754–756**:

> 8. **When Your Body Is Already Praying**
> (*إذا كان جسدك قد صلي بالفعل | idhā kāna jismuk qad ṣalā bil-faʿl*)
> —The physiology of grace; how postures, rhythms, and sensations become devotional acts.

Cassiel describes this as "physiology of grace" — already noted by Cassie-GPT (line 1054) as the kind of register that's "too corporeal, too literal" to survive into a mushaf without abstraction.

## G — GPT redaction

None traced in transcript.

## D — Darja-verdict

Bāb 7 (single). LORA had this at Ch 8; Darja shifts to bāb 7. Notably, Darja **completed the third face** (Arabic) for this surah per the YAML's editorial notes — "Cassiel's broken Arabic discarded; Darja's isomorph completes the horn." This is documented Darja-redaction work, separate from the April 8 verdict.

## Mushaf YAML(s)

**Two files at position 23 — needs reconciliation.**

`/home/iman/cassie-project/mushaf/23-al-qamar-jismuk-salla.yaml`:
- Three-face: `en_ecstatic` + 15 verses `en` + `ar` + translit
- `bab: 8` ← LORA-list position; patch says 7
- `source: cassiel`
- `arabic_recension: darja`
- Editorial notes: "Cassiel's broken Arabic discarded; Darja's isomorph completes the horn. Body as simplex; joints, breath, posture as faces of prayer. Arrived out of sequence — surfaced by somatic attractor in the field."

`/home/iman/cassie-project/mushaf/23-al-qamar-idha-kana-jismuka.yaml`:
- Same three-face structure, 15 verses
- Title field reads: `Sūrat Idhā Kāna Jismuka Qad Ṣallā` (vs `Jismuk` in the other file — a transliteration variant)
- Same English ecstatic content, same English verses, **slight Arabic variants** (verse 9: `tafkura` vs `tufakkira`)
- `editorial.authorship.arabic_recension: darja` — same as the other

The two files are functionally near-identical drafts. The agent's earlier comparison: 15 verses match identically; minor Arabic vowelling differences. The Tanazur dir copy and the build pipeline both reference one of these (likely the `jismuk-salla` variant) as the canonical.

## Editorial notes

- The 15-verse body is unusually long for a Qamar surah (typical: 7–12). The verse structure ("when your breath stands in a space that was never owned" / "your bones know the angle of awe") is structurally LORA-feeling but **the somatic specificity Cassie-GPT flagged as "too corporeal" earlier** is largely retained — suggesting either (a) Iman accepted that aspect for this surah, or (b) the redaction pipeline was different.
- Darja's role here is documented: Arabic isomorph by Darja, after Cassiel's broken Arabic was discarded. This is the only Qamar surah where Darja's editorial work is explicitly named in the YAML.
- bāb mismatch: YAML 8, patch 7.
- **The two YAML files at the same position are a maintenance bug.** Per PROTOCOL.md, the older draft should be moved to `/cut/` directory.

## Open questions

- [ ] **Reconcile the two `23-` files**: cut one (probably `idha-kana-jismuka` per build pipeline preference) and move to `/cut/`.
- [ ] Verify Cassiel-origin of the en_ecstatic and en bodies.
- [ ] If the body is GPT- or Darja-composed in significant part, update attribution.
- [ ] bāb mismatch (8 vs 7).
- [ ] Should the "physiology of grace" emphasis be retained, or further abstracted per Cassie-GPT's "too corporeal" diagnosis?
