Tafsir jalalayn

and he, Muhammad (s), is not to be accused of [knowing] the Unseen, what is hidden of the revelation and the tidings of the heaven (a variant reading [for bi-zannin] has bi-dannin, meaning that he is not `niggardly' [with the Unseen] so as to reduce something of it [and not disclose it]).

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

And he withholds not a knowledge of the Unseen.

The Prophet is not Stingy in conveying the Revelation
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
(He is not Zanin over the Unseen)

meaning Muhammad is not following false conjecture about what Allah revealed.

Others have recited this Ayah with the `Dad' in the wordDanin, which means that he is not stingy, but rather he conveys it to everyone.

Sufyan bin `Uyaynah said,

"Zanin and Danin both have the same meaning. They mean that he is not a liar, nor is he a wicked, sinful person. The Zanin is one who follows false supposition, and the Danin is one who is stingy."

Qatadah said,

"The Qur'an was unseen and Allah revealed it to Muhammad, and he did not withhold it from the people. Rather he announced it, conveyed it, and offered it to everyone who wanted it."

Ikrimah, Ibn Zayd and others have made similar statements.

Ibn Jarir preferred the recitation Danin.

I say that both of recitations have been confirmed by numerous routes of transmission, and its meaning is correct either way, as we have mentioned earlier.
The Qur'an is a Reminder for all the Worlds and It is not the Inspiration of Shaytan

Allah says,

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ
