أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُم مِّنْ خَوْفٍ
He fed them against hunger and secured them against fear. (106:4)
The two clauses have a parallel pattern: verb + object pronoun + min + noun. One concerns provision, the other safety. The indefinite nouns jūʿ and khawf evoke the open-ended experiences of need and danger.
Min is understood in this context with relief or protection from the named condition. These are coordinated but distinct benefits, not two synonymous descriptions of a single act.
