الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا
Wealth and children are an adornment of worldly life.

A single passage may combine gathering with distinction or distribution. The mere occurrence of several nouns is not enough to identify taqsīm: their separate assignments must be demonstrated.
