ثِنًى
The repetition of a thing; doing it one time after another: or a thing, or an affair, done twice: this is the primary signification: and
ثُنًى signifies the same. It is said in a trad., لَا ثِنَى فِى الصَّدَقَةِ
There shall be no repetition in the taking of the poor-rate; [i. e.] the poor-rate shall not be taken twice in one year: or two she-camels shall not be taken in the place of one for the poor-rate: or there shall be no retracting of an alms; or no revoking it: this last is the meaning accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed, i. e. Ed-Dareeree, who, in explaining this trad., as relating to the giving an alms to a man and then desiring to take it back, says he does not deny that ثِنًى has the meaning first assigned to it above in this paragraph.
