Why this meaning was chosen
Singular ذَنْب and plural ذُنُوب are consistently owned, confessed, forgiven, or made grounds of punishment. The two ذَنُوب forms in 51:59 instead denote an allotted share comparable to that of earlier companions; their immediate parallel is distributive rather than culpability, so they are isolated as a lexical collision.
