The Difference Between *Dadnin* and *Dhannin* in the Two Readings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says regarding the phrase
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
[At-Takwir 81:24]
in Surat al-Imran, and in another reading, "He is not a *dhannin* regarding the unseen" in Surat al-Imran. We hear that there is a difference in this verse.

The Shaykh:
By the apparent meaning, it is not by the apparent meaning. It is *b-dhannin*. *B-dhannin* means accused. Or *b-dhannin* means stingy, not having reached [the level of] stinginess. Stinginess. *Dhann* is stinginess. Yes. It is not *al-dhann*, which is suspicion. *Dhann* is stinginess. Yes.

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

The Shaykh:
*Dhann* with a *dha* is stinginess, whereas *dhann* with a *dha* is from suspicion and doubts. Yes.
