The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of the Exalted and Majestic:
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
[At-Takwir 81:24]
And in a reading
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.وما هو على الغيب بضنين
[At-Takwir 81:24]
we hear that there is a difference of opinion regarding this verse.

The Shaykh:
“Dhanin” with a dhad means he is not with a dhad; “bithanin” with a dhad means “bithanin” means accused, or “bithanin” means stingy. It has not been stated that stinginess is the suspicion; the suspicion is the stinginess. Yes, it is not the suspicion, which is the conjecture; the suspicion is the stinginess. Yes.

The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
With the dhad, this is stinginess. As for “zann” with a zay, this is from conjecture and doubts. Yes.
