Reciting Tasbi Yunus: Is ‘Inni kun tum’ Incorrect?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I have come across many people who recite Tasbi Yunus incorrectly rather that reciting -Inni kun “tu” minaz-zalimin, they recite- Inni kun “tum” instead of “tu”. My question is, will the meaning change or will it be incorrect to recite- Inni kun “tum” minaz-zalimin?

Bismillaah

A: Obviously it should be corrected.

وَذَا النُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَاضِبًا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ أَن لَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿الأنبياء: ٨٧﴾
