Ad-dhabt - linguistically means securing, and here it means strentgh in memorization, being precise and detailed being aware and havin good undertandin of the matters and also protectin what was written 9by a narrator) from the moment he heard it and carried it forth until the time of of puberty.

There are two types of Adh-dhabt:

-Dhabt Kitaab..

- & Dhabt Sadr.

Dhabt as-Sadr (precision/preservance of the chest) is when the narrator memorises and portects whatever he hears and he can bring it forth whenever he wills.

and Dhabtul-Kitaab is to protect the book his narrations in his book from the time he wrote until he passes it on, and not to pas it on to someone who will not protect it or distort it in any way,
it is also possible for this person to change somethings around.

Hope i have'nt missed anythin out InshaAllah...
