يقال للقاصر عن الشيء: دون، قال بعضهم:
الدال والواو والنون أصل واحد يدل على المداناة والمقاربة. يقال هذا دون ذاك، أي هو أقرب منه. وإذا أردت تحقيره قلت دوين. ولا يشتق منه فعل. ويقال في الإغراء: دونكه! أي خذه، اقرب منه وقربه منك. ويقولون أمر دون، وثوب دون، أي قريب القيمة. قال القتيبي: دان يدون دونا، إذا ضعف، وأدين إدانة. وأنشدوا:

Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:28Say: "O People Of the Book! come To common terms As between us and you: That we worship None but God; That we associate No partners with Him; That we erect not, From among ourselves, Lords and patrons Other than God." If then they turn back, Say ye: "Bear witness That we (at least) Are Muslims (bowing To God's Will)."
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:64It is not (possible) That a man, to whom Is given the Book, And Wisdom, And the Prophetic Office, Should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers Rather than God's": On the contrary (He would say): "Be ye worshippers Of Him Who is truly The Cherisher of all: For ye have taught The Book and ye Have studied it earnestly."
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:79O ye who believe! Take not into your intimacy Those outside your ranks: They will not fail To corrupt you. They Only desire your ruin: Rank hatred has already Appeared from their mouths: What their hearts conceal Is far worse. We have made plain To you the Signs, If ye have wisdom.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:118God forgiveth not That partners should be set up With Him; but He forgiveth Anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up Partners with God Is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.

For Thou Knowest in full All that is hidden.
