And 'ḍārahu muḍāratan wa ḍirāran' means: he opposed him.

أتضارون في رؤية الشمس في غير سحاب؟

Do you dispute among yourselves concerning the sight of the sun when there are no clouds?

فإنكم لا تضارون في رؤيته تبارك وتعالى

Then you will not be harmed or disagree in seeing Him, blessed and exalted is He.

ضاره ضيرا فضره ضرا، والمعنى لا يضار بعضكم بعضا في رؤيته أي لا يضايقه لينفرد برؤيته.

'Ḍārahu ḍayran fa-ḍararahu ḍarran,' and the meaning is 'do not harm each other in seeing Him,' meaning do not crowd each other so that one may see Him alone.

والضرر: الضيق

ويروى لا تضامون في رؤيته أي لا ينضم بعضكم إلى بعض فيزاحمه ويقول له: أرنيه، كما يفعلون عند، النظر إلى الهلال، ولكن ينفرد كل منهم برؤيته

And it is narrated, 'lā tuḍāmmūna' in seeing Him, meaning you will not join together and crowd each other, saying to him: 'Show him to me,' as they do when looking at the new moon, but rather each one will see Him individually.

ومعاني هذه الألفاظ، وإن اختلفت، متقاربة، وكل ما روي فيه فهو صحيح ولا يدفع لفظ منها لفظا

And the meanings of these words, although they differ, are close, and everything narrated concerning them is correct, and one word does not invalidate another.

من رواه: هل تضارون في رؤيته ، معناه هل تتنازعون وتختلفون، وهو تتفاعلون من الضرار

Whoever narrates it as: 'Hal tuḍārrūna fi ru'yatihi' (Do you dispute in seeing Him?), its meaning is 'Do you contend and disagree?' and it is from the pattern 'tatafā'alūna' from 'al-ḍirār'.

وتفسير لا تضارون لا يقع بكم في رؤيته ضر، وتضارون، بالتخفيف، من الضير، وهو الضر، وتضامون لا يلحقكم في رؤيته ضيم

And the interpretation of 'lā tuḍārrūna' is that no harm will befall you in seeing Him, and 'tuḍārrūna' (with abbreviation) is from 'al-ḍayr', which is harm, and 'tuḍāmmūna' means no injustice will reach you in seeing Him.

فالتشديد بمعنى لا تتخالفون ولا تتجادلون في صحة النظر إليه لوضوحه وظهوره، يقال: ضاره يضاره مثل ضره يضره

وقيل: أراد بالمضارة الاجتماع والازدحام عند النظر إليه

And it was said: 'He intended by 'al-muḍārah' the gathering and crowding when looking at Him.'

وأما التخفيف فهو من الضير لغة في الضر، والمعنى فيه كالأول

As for the abbreviated form, it is from 'al-ḍayr', a variant pronunciation for 'al-ḍarr', and the meaning is the same as the first.

فهو من المضايقة، أي لا تضامون تضاما يدنو به بعضكم من بعض فتضايقون.

So it is from 'al-muḍāyaqah' (causing distress), meaning you will not be crowded together in a way that you draw near to each other and cause discomfort.
