29
أَم حَسِبَ الَّذينَ في قُلوبِهِم مَرَضٌ أَن لَن يُخرِجَ اللَّهُ أَضغانَهُم

Muhammad Asad

  • The noun dighn (of which ad, ghan is the plural) denotes, primarily, "rancour" or "hate"; in its wider sense it signifies a person's "disposition", "inclination" or "leaning", especially in its negative aspects (Jawhari): hence, a "moral defect" or "failing".
