T,

T) and أَمَانٌ (
M,
K) [and
app. أَمَانَةٌ, for it is said in the
S that this is
syn. with أَمَانٌ,] and آ
منٌ, an instance of an
inf. n. of the measure فَاعِلٌ, which is strange, (
MF,) or this is a
subst. like فَالِجٌ, (
M,) He was, or became, or felt, secure, safe, or in a state of security or safety; originally, he was, or became, quiet, or tranquil, in heart, or mind; (
Msb;) he was, or became, secure, or free from fear; أَـ
ـمْنٌ signifying the
contr. of خَوْفٌ, (
S,
M,
K,) and so أَـ
ـمَنَــةٌ (
S) and آ
مِنٌ [&c.]: (
M,
K:) he was, or became, or felt, free from expectation of evil, or of an object of dislike or hatred, in the coming time; originally, he was, or became, easy in mind, and free from fear. (El-Munáwee,
TA.) [See أَـ
ـمْنٌ, below.] You say also, يَإْـ
ـمَنُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ [He is secure, or safe, or free from fear, for himself]. (
M.) And أَـ
ـمِنَ البَلَدُ, meaning The inhabitants of the country or district, or town, were in a state of security, or confidence, therein. (
Msb.) The verb is
trans. by itself, and by means of the
particle مِنْ; as in أَـ
ـمَنَ زَيْدٌ الأَسَدَ and أَـ
ـمِنَ مِنَ الأَسَدِ, meaning Zeyd was, or became, or felt, secure from, safe from, [or free from fear of,] the lion. (
Msb.) You say also, أَـ
ـمِنَ كَذِبَ
مَنْأَخْبَرَهُ [He was secure from, or free from fear of, the lying of him who informed him]. (
M.) And لَا آنَنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذلِكَ [I am not free from fear of its being so; I am not sure but that it may be so]. (
Mgh in art. نبذ; and other lexicons passim.) And, of a strong-made she camel, أَـ
ـمِنَــتْ
أَنْ تَكُونَ ضَعَيفَةً [She was secure from, or free from fear of, being weak]: (
M: [in a copy of the
S أُـ
ـمِنَــتْ:]) and أَـ
ـمِنَــتِ العِثَارَ وَالإَعْيَآءٍ [ She was secure from, or free from fear of, stumbling, and becoming jaded]: (
M:) and أُـ
ـمِنَ عِثَارُهَا [Her stumbling was not feared]. (So in a copy of the
S.) And, of a highly-prized camel, أُـ
ـمِنَ أَنْ يُنْحَرَ [It was not feared that he would be slaughtered; or his being slaughtered was not feared]. (
M.) [أَـ
ـمنَــهُ sometimes means He was, or became, free from fear, though having cause for fear, of him, or it. i. e. he thought himself secure, or safe, from him or it. (See
Kur vii. 97.)]
b2: أ
مِنَــهُ (
inf. n. أَـ
ـمْنٌ TK) [and
accord. to some copies of the
K ↓ آ
مَنَــهُ] and ↓ أ
مّنــهُ (
inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ
K) and ↓ ائتـ
ـمنــهُ ([written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَـ
ـمَنَــهُ, and] also written اِتَّـ
ـمَنَــهُ, on the authority of
Th, which is
extr., like اِتَّهَلَ [&c.],
M) and ↓ استأ
منــهُ all signify the same (
M,
K,
TA) [He trusted, or confided, in him; (as also آ
من بِهِ,
q. v.;) he intrusted him with, or confided to him, power, authority, control, or a charge; he gave him charge over a thing or person: these meanings are vaguely indicated in the
M and
K and
TA.]. You say, يَأْـ
ـمَنُــهُ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ غَائِلَتَهُ [Men, or people, trust, or confide, in him, and do not fear his malevolence, or mischievousness]. (
T,
M.) and أَـ
ـمِنَــهُ عَلَى كَذَا (
S,
Mgh, *
Msb *) and ↓ ائتـ
ـمنــهُ عَلَيْهِ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) [He trusted, or confided, in him with respect to such a thing; he intrusted him with, or confided to him, power, authority, control, or a charge, over it; he gave him charge over it;] he made him, or took him as, أَمِين over such a thing. (
Mgh.) Hence, in a
trad., the مُؤَذِّن is said to be مُؤْتَـ
ـمَنٌ; i. e. النَّاسُ عَلَ الأَوْقَاتِ الَّتِى يُؤَذَّنُ فِيهَا ↓ يَأْتَـ
ـمِنُــهُ [Men trust, or confide, in him with respect to the times in which he calls to prayer], and know, by his calling to prayer, what they are commanded to do, as to praying and fasting and breaking fast. (
Mgh.) It is said in the
Kur [xii. 11], مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْـ
ـمَنُــنَا عَلَى يُوسُفَ and [تَأْـ
ـمَنَّــا] with idghám [i. e. What aileth thee that thou dost not trust, or confide, in us with respect to Joseph? or, that thou dost not give us charge over Joseph?]; (
S;) meaning, why dost thou fear us for him? (
Bd;) some pronouncing the verb in a manner between those of the former and the latter modes of writing it; but
Akh says that the latter is better: (
S:) some read تِيـ
ـمَنَّــا. (
Bd.) You say also, ↓ اُوتُـ
ـمِنَ فُلَانٌ [Such a one was trusted, or confided, in &c.;] when it begins a sentence, changing the second ء into و; in like manner as you change it into ى when the first is with kesr, as in اِيتَـ
ـمَنَــهُ; and into ا when the first is with fet-h, as in آ
مَنَ. (
S.) The phrase أَمَانَةً ↓ اُوتُـ
ـمِنَ, in a saying of Mohammad, if it be not correctly عَلَى أَمَانَةٍ, may be explained as implying the meaning of اُسْتُحْفِظَ أَمَانَةً [He was asked to take care of a deposite; or he was intrusted with it]. (
Mgh.) [You also say, أَـ
ـمِنَــهُ بِكَذَا, meaning He intrusted him with such a thing; as, for instance, money or other property: see two exs. in the
Kur iii. 68.]
A2: أَـ
ـمُنَ, (
M,
Mgh,
K,) or أَـ
ـمِنَ, (
Msb,)
inf. n. أَمَانَةٌ, (
M,
Mgh,
Msb,) He was, or became, trusted in, or confided in: (
M,
K:) or he was, or became, trusty, trustworthy, trustful, confidential, or faithful: said of a man. (
Mgh.) 2 أ
مّنــهُ,
inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ: see 4:
b2: and see also أَـ
ـمِنَــهُ.
A2: أ
مّن,
inf. n. as above, also signifies He said آمِينَ or أَمِينَ, (
T,
S,
Msb,) after finishing the
Fátihah, (
T,) or عَلَي الدُّعَآءِ on the occasion of the prayer, or supplication. (
Msb.) 4 آ
مَنَ is originally أَأْـ
ـمَنَ; the second ء being softened. (
S.) You say, آ
منــهُ, [
inf. n. إِيمَانٌ;] (
S,
M,
Msb;) and ↓ أ
مّنــهُ, [
inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ;] (
M,
TA;) meaning He rendered him secure, or safe; (
Msb;) he rendered him secure, or free from fear; (
S,
M,
TA;)
contr. of أَخَافهُ: (
TA:) so in آ
مَنْــتُهُ
مِنْــهُ I rendered him secure, or safe, from him, or it. (
Msb.) And of God you say, آ
مَنَ عِبادَهُ
مِنْ أَنْ يَظْلِمَهُمْ [He hath rendered his servants secure from his wronging them]. (
S.) And يُؤْـ
ـمِنُ عِبَادَهُ
مِنْ عَذَابِهِ [ He rendereth his servants secure from his punishment]. (
M.) You say also, آ
مَنْــتُ الأَسِيرَ, meaning I gave, or granted, الأَمَان [i. e. security or safety, or protection or safeguard, or the promise or assurance of security or safety, or indemnity, or quarter,] to the captive. (
Msb.) And آ
مَنَ فُلَانٌ الَعَدُوَّ [Such a one granted security, &c., to the enemy],
inf. n. as above. (
T.) It is said in the
Kur ch. ix. [verse 12],
accord. to one reading, لَا إِيمَانَ لَهُمْ They have not the
attribute of granting protection; meaning that when they grant protection, they do not fulfil their engagement to protect. (
T.)
A2: إِيمَانٌ also signifies The believing [a thing, or in a thing, and particularly in God];
syn. تَصْدِيقٌ; (
T,
S, &c.;) by common consent of the lexicologists and other men of science: (
T:) its primary meaning is the becoming true to the trust with respect to which God has confided in one, by a firm believing with the heart; not by profession of belief with the tongue only, without the assent of the heart; for he who does not firmly believe with his heart is either a hypocrite or an ignorant person. (
T,
TA.) Its verb is
intrans. and
trans. (
TA, from a Commentary on the Mutowwal.) You say, آ
مَنَ, meaning He believed. (
T.) and it is said to be
trans. by itself, like صَدَّقَ; and by means of بِ, considered as meaning اِعْتِرَافٌ [or acknowledgment]; and by means of لِ, considered as meaning إِذْعَانٌ [or submission]. (
TA.) [Thus] you say, [آ
منــهُ and] آ
من بِهِ, (
inf. n. إِيمَانٌ,
T,
K,) namely, a thing. (
T,
M.) And آ
من بِاللّٰهِ He believed in God. (
T.) It seems to be meant by what is said in the
Ksh [in ii. 2], that آ
من بِهِ [or آ
مَنَــهُ] properly signifies آ
مَنَــهُ التَّكْذِيبَ [He rendered him secure from being charged with lying, or falsehood]; and that the meaning he believed him or in him, is
tropical; but this is at variance with what its author says in the A; and Es-Saad says that this latter meaning is proper. (
TA.) The phrase in the
Kur [ix. 61], وَيُؤْـ
ـمِنُ لِلْمؤْـ
ـمِنِــينَ,
accord. to
Th, means And he believeth the believers; giveth credit to them. (
M.)
b2: Sometimes it is employed to signify The acknowledging with the tongue only; and hence, in the
Kur [lxiii. 3], ذلِكَ بأَنَّهُمْ آ
مَنُــوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا That is because they acknowledged with the tongue, then disacknowledged with the heart. (
TA.)
b3: Also (assumed
tropical:) The trusting, or confiding, or having trust or confidence. (
M,
K.) [You say, آ
من بِهِ, meaning He trusted, or confided, in him, or it: for] the verb of ايمان in this sense is
trans. by means of بِ without implication; as
Bd says. (
TA.) [And it is also
trans. by itself: for] you say, مَا آ
مَنَ أَنْ يَجِدَ صَحَابَةً, meaning (
tropical:) He trusted not that he would find companions; (
M, *
K, *
TA;) said of one who has formed the intention of journeying: or the meaning is مَا كَادَ [i. e. he hardly, or scarcely, found &c.; or he was not near to finding &c.]. (
M,
K.) See also أَـ
ـمِنَــهُ.
b4: Also The manifesting humility or submission, and the accepting the Law, (
Zj,
T, *
K,) and that which the Prophet has said or done, and the firm believing thereof with the heart; (
Zj,
T,
M;) without which firm belief, the manifesting of humility or submission, and the accepting that which the Prophet has said or done, is termed إِسْلَامٌ, for which one's blood is to be spared. (
T.) [In this sense, it is
trans. by means of لِ,
accord. to some, as shown above; or by means of بِ, for,
accord. to
Fei,] you say, آ
مَنْــتُ بِاللّٰهِ,
inf. n. as above, meaning I submitted, or resigned, myself to God. (
Msb.) [There are numerous other explanations which it is needless to give, differing according to different persuasions.
b5: See also إِيمَان below.]

ـمَنَ see 1, in five places.
10 استأ

b2: See also أَـ
ـمِنَــهُ.
b3: استأ
من إِلَيْهِ He entered within the pale of his أمَان [or protection, or safeguard]. (
S,
Msb.) أَـ
ـمْنٌ [an
inf. n. of أَـ
ـمِنِ: as a simple
subst. it signifies Security, or safety: (see أَـ
ـمِنَ:) or] security as meaning freedom from fear;
contr. of خَوْفٌ; (
S,
M,
K;) as also ↓ إِـ
ـمْنٌ (
Zj,
M,
K) and ↓ أَـ

M,

S,
M,
K) [and ↓ إِـ
ـمْنَــةٌ (see أَـ
ـمِنَ)] and ↓ أَمَانٌ and ↓ آ
مِنٌ, (
M,
K,) which last is an
inf. n. of أَـ
ـمِنَ [like the rest], (
MF,) or a
subst. like فَالِجٌ; (
M;) and ↓ أَمَانَةٌ is
syn. with أَمَانٌ, (
S,) both of these signifying security, or safety, and freedom from fear: (
PS:) or أَـ
ـمْنٌ signifies freedom from expectation of evil, or of an object of dislike or hatred, in the coming time; originally, ease of mind, and freedom from fear. (El-Munáwee,
TA.) You say, أَنْتَ فِى أَـ
ـمْنٍ [Thou art in a state of security], (
T,
M,)
مِنْ ذَاكَ [from that]; and ↓ فى أَمَانٍ signifies the same; (
T;) and so ↓ فى آ
مِنٍ. (
M.) And نُعَاسًا ↓ أَـ
ـمَنَــةً, in the
Kur [iii. 148], means Security (أَـ
ـمْنًــا) [and slumber]. (
S.) ↓ أَمَانٌ also signifies Protection, or safeguard: and [very frequently] a promise, or an assurance, of security or safety; indemnity; or quarter: in
Pers\. پَنَاهْ and زِنْهَارٌ: (
KL:)
syn. إِلُّ. (
K in art. ال.) Yousay, ↓ دَخَلَ فِى أَمَانِهِ [He entered within the pale of his protection, or safeguard]. (
S,
Msb.) [and اللّٰهِ ↓ كُنٌ فِى أَمَانِ Be thou in the protection, or safeguard, of God.] And ↓ أَعْطَيْتُهُ الأَمَانَ [I gave, or granted, to him security or safety, or protection or safeguard, or the promise or assurance of security or safety, or indemnity, or quarter]; namely, a captive. (
Msb.) And طَلَبَ
↓
مِنْــهُ الأَمَانَ [He asked, or demanded, of him security or safety, or protection or safeguard, &c., as in the next preceding
ex.]. (
Msb,
TA.)
b2: أَـ
ـمْنًــا in the
Kur ii. 119 means ذَا أَـ
ـمْن [Possessed of security or safety]: (Aboo-Is-hák,
M:) or مَوْضِعَ أَـ
ـمْنٍ [a place of security or safety; like مَأْـ
ـمَنًــا]. (
Bd.)
b3: See also آ
مِنٌ.
b4: You say also, مَا أَحْسَنَ أَـ
ـمْنَــكَ, and ↓ أَـ

مِنٌ, (
M, [so written in a copy of that work,)] Asking, or demanding, or seeking, protection, in order to be secure, or safe, or free from fear, for himself: (

IAar. (

ـمَنَــةٌ: (
S:) and who believes in everything that he hears; who disbelieves in nothing: (
Lh,
T:) or in whom men, or people, trust, or confide, and whose malevolence, or mischievousness, they do not fear: (
T,
M:) and ↓ أُـ
ـمَنَــةٌ signifies trusted in, or confided in; [like أَمِينٌ;] and by rule should be أُـ
ـمْنَــةٌ, because it has the meaning of a
pass. part. n. [like لُعْنَةٌ and ضُحْكَةٌ and لُقْطَلةٌ &c. (see لَقَطٌ)]: (
M:) or both signify one in whom every one trusts, or confides, in, or with respect to, everything. (

A,
TA:)
pl. أُـ

agent, or superintendent; a commissioner; a commissary; a trustee; a depositary;] a guardian: (
TA:) trusty; trustworthy; trustful; confidential; faithful: (
Mgh,
Msb: *)
pl. أُـ
ـمَنَــآءُ, and,
accord. to some, ↓ أَـ
ـمَنَــةٌ, as in a
trad. in which it is said, أَصْحَابِى أَـ
ـمَنَــةٌ لِأُمَّتِى, meaning My companions are guardians to my people: or,
accord. to others, this is
pl. of ↓ آ
مِنٌ [
app. in a sense mentioned below in this paragraph, so that the meaning in this
trad. is my companions are persons who accord trust, or confidence, to my people]. (
TA.) Hence, أَلَمْ تَعْلَمِى يَا أَسْمَ وَيْحَكِ أَنَّنِى
حَلَفْتُ يَمِينًا لَا أَخُونُ أَمِينِى
[Knowest thou not, O Asmà (أَسْمَآء, curtailed for the sake of the metre), mercy on thee! or woe to thee! that I have sworn an oath that I will not act treacherously to him in whom I trust?] i. e. ↓ مَأْمُونِى: (
S:) or the meaning here is, him who trusts, or confides, in me; (
ISk,
T;) [i. e.] it is here
syn. with ↓ آ
مِنِــى. (
M.) [Hence also,] الأَمِينُ فِى القِمَارِ, (
K voce مُجُمِدٌ, &c.,) or أَمِينُ, القِمَارِ, [The person who is intrusted, as deputy, with the disposal of the arrows in the game called المَيْسِر; or] he who shuffles the arrows; الَّذِى.
يَضْرِبُ بِالقِدَاحِ. (
EM p. 105.) [Hence also,] الرُّوحُ الأَمِينُ [The Trusted, or Trusty, Spirit]; (
Kur xxvi. 193;) applied to Gabriel, because he is intrusted with the revelation of God. (
Bd.) ↓ أُمَّانٌ, mentioned above, and occurring in a verse of El-Aashà, applied to a merchant, is said by some to mean Possessed of religion and excellence. (
M.) ↓ مُؤْتَـ
ـمَنٌ is applied, in a
trad., to the مُؤَذِّن, as meaning that men trust, or confide, in him with respect to the times in which he calls to prayer, and know by his call what they are commanded to do as to praying and fasting and breaking fast. (
Mgh.) المُعَامَلَةِ ↓ هُوَ مَأْمُونُ means He is [trusty, or trustworthy, in dealing with others; or] free from exorbitance and deceit or artifice or craft to be feared. (
Msb.)
b2: An aid, or assistant;
syn. عَوْنٌ [here
app. meaning, as it often does, an armed attendant, or a guard]; because one trusts in his strength, and is without fear of his being weak. (
M.)
b3: (assumed
tropical:) The strong;
syn. قَوِىٌّ. (
K,
TA: [in the latter of which is given the same reason for this signification as is given in the

b4: One who trusts, or confides, in another; (
ISk,
T,
K;) [as also ↓ آ
مِنٌ, of which see an
ex. voce حَذِرٌ;] so
accord. to
ISk in the verse cited above in this paragraph: (

contr. significations. (

A2: And see آمِينَ.
أَمَانَةٌ: see أَـ

b2: Trustiness; trustworthiness; trustfulness; faithfulness; fidelity; (
M,
Mgh,
K;) as also ↓ أَـ

M,
K.) أَمَانَةُ اللّٰهِ [for أَمَانَةُ اللّٰهِ قَسَمِي or مَا أُقْسِمُ The faithfulness of God is my oath or that by which I swear] is composed of an
inf. n. prefixed to the
agent, and the former is in the
nom. case as an
inchoative; the phrase being like لَعَمْرُ اللّٰهِ, as meaning an oath; and the
enunciative being suppressed, and meant to be understood:
accord. to some, you say, أَمَانَةَ اللّٰهِ [
app. for نَشَدْتُكَ أَمَانَةَ اللّٰهِ I adjure thee, or conjure thee, by the faithfulness of God, or the like], making it to be governed in the
accus. case by the verb which is to be understood: and some correctly say, وَأَمَانَةِ اللّٰهِ [By the faithfulness of God], with the و which denotes an oath: (
Mgh:) or this last is an oath
accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh; but Esh-
Sháfi'ee does not reckon it as such: and it is forbidden in a
trad. to swear by الأَمَانَة;
app. because it is not one of the names of God. (
TA.) [Or these phrases may have been used, in the manner of an oath, agreeably with explanations here following.]
A2: A thing committed to the trust and care of a person; a trust; a deposite; (
Mgh,
Msb;) and the like: (
Msb:) property committed to trust and care: (
TA:)
pl. أَمَانَاتٌ. (
Mgh,
Msb.) It is said in the
Kur [viii. 27], وَتَخُونُوا أَمَانَاتِكُمْ [Nor be ye unfaithful to the trusts committed to you]. (
Mgh.) And in the same [xxxiii. 72], إِنَّا عَرَضْنَاالأَمَانَةَ عَلَى
السّموَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِوَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ
مِنْــهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ [Verily we proposed, or offered, the trust which we have committed to man to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and (
accord. to explanations of
Bd and others) they refused to take it upon themselves, or to accept it, and they feared it, but man took it upon himself, or accepted it: or, (
accord. to another explanation of
Bd, also given in the
T, and in the
K in art. حمل, &c.,) they refused to be unfaithful to it, and they feared it, but man was unfaithful to it: but in explaining what this trust was, authors greatly differ:
accord. to some,] الامانة here means obedience; so called because the rendering thereof is incumbent: or the obedience which includes that which is natural and that which depends upon the will: [for] it is said that when God created these [celestial and terrestrial] bodies, He created in them understanding: or it may here [and in some other instances] mean reason, or intellect: [and the faculty of volition: and
app. conscience: these being trusts committed to us by God, to be faithfully employed: (see an
ex. voce جَذْرٌ:)] and the imposition of a task or duty or of tasks or duties [
app. combined with reason or intellect, which is necessary for the performance thereof]: (
Bd:) or it here means prayers and other duties for the performance of which there is recompense and for the neglect of which there is punishment: (
Jel:) or,
accord. to
I'Ab and Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr, (
T,) the obligatory statutes which God has imposed upon his servants: (
T,
K: *) or, (
T,
K,)
accord. to Ibn-'Omar, [the choice between] obedience and disobedience was offered to Adam, and he was informed of the recompense of obedience and the punishment of disobedience: but, in my opinion, he says, (
T,) it here means the intention which one holds in the heart, (
T,
K,) with respect to the belief which he professes with the tongue, and with respect to all the obligatory statutes which he externally fulfils; (
K;) because God has confided to him power over it, and not manifested it to any [other] of his creatures, so that he who conceives in his mind, with respect to the acknowledgment of the unity of God, (
T,
K,) and with respect to belief [in general], (
T,) the like of that which he professes, he fulfils the امانة [or trust], (
T,
K,) and he who conceives in his mind disbelief while he professes belief with the tongue is unfaithful thereto, and every one who is unfaithful to that which is confided to him is [termed] حَامِلٌ, (
T,) or حَامِلُ الأَمَانَةِ, and مُحْتَمِلُهَا: (
Bd:) and by الإِنْسَانُ is here meant the doubting disbeliever. (
T.)
b2: Also, [as being a trust committed to him by God, A man's] family, or household;
syn. أَهْلٌ. (
TA.) أُمَّانٌ: see أَمينٌ, in two places.
A2: Also One who does not write; as though he were (كَأَنَّهُ [in the
CK لاَنَّهُ because he is]) an أُمِّى. (
K,
TA.) [But this belongs to art. ام; being of the measure فُعْلَانٌ, like عُرْيَانٌ.]
b2: And A sower, or cultivator of land; [perhaps meaning a clown, or boor;]
syn. زَرَّاعٌ: (
CK:) or sowers, or cultivators of land;
syn. زُرَّاعٌ: (
K,
TA:) in one copy of the
K زِرَاع. (
TA.) آ
مِنٌ Secure, safe, or free from fear; as also ↓ أَمِينٌ (
Lh,
T, *
S, *
M,
Msb,
K) and ↓ أَـ
ـمِنٌ. (
M,
K.) Hence, in the
Kur [xcv. 3], ↓ وَهذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ [And this secure town]; (
Akh,
Lh,
T,
S,
M;) meaning Mekkeh. (
M.) بَلَدٌ آ
مِنٌ and ↓ أَمِينٌ means A town, or country, or district, of which the inhabitants are in a state of security, or confidence, therein. (
Msb.) It is also said in the
Kur [xliv. 51], ↓ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ, meaning [Verily the pious shall be in an abode] wherein they shall be secure from the accidents, or casualties, of fortune. (
M.) [And hence,] ↓ الأَمِينُ is one of the epithets applied to God, (
Mgh,
K,) on the authority of El-Hasan; (
Mgh;) an assertion requiring consideration: it may mean He who is secure with respect to the accidents, or casualties, of fortune: but see المُؤْـ
ـمِنُ, which is [well known as] an
epithet applied to God. (
TA.) آ
مِنُ المَالِ means What is secure from being slaughtered, of the camels, because of its being highly prized; by المال being meant الإِبِل: or, as some say, (
tropical:) what is highly esteemed, of property of any kind; as though, if it had intellect, it would feel secure from being exchanged. (
M.) You say, أَعْطَيْتُهُ
مِنْ آ
مِنِ مَالِي, (
K,
TA, [in the
CK آ
مَنِ,]) meaning (
tropical:) I gave him of the choice, or best, of my property; of what was highly esteemed thereof; (
K,
TA;) and مَالِى ↓
مِنْ أَـ
ـمْنِ which
Az explains as meaning of the choice, or best, of my property. (
TA: [in which is given a verse cited by
ISk showing that أَـ
ـمْن, thus used, is not a mistranscription for آ
مِن.]) And آ
مِنُ الحِلْمِ means Steadfast in forbearance or clemency; of whose becoming disordered in temper, and free from self-restraint, there is no fear. (
M.)
b2: See also أَمِينٌ, in three places:
b3: and see اَـ
ـمِنٌ.
A2: See also أَمِينٌ, in two places.
آمِينَ [in the
CK, erroneously, آمِينُ] and ↓ أَمِينَ; (
Th,
T,
S,
M,
Mgh,
Msb,
K;) both chaste and well known, (
TA,) the latter of the
dial. of El-Hijáz, (
Msb,
TA,) as some say, (
TA,) [and this, though the less common, is the original form, for] the medd in the former is only to give fulness of sound to the fet-hah of the أ, (
Th,
M,
Msb,
TA,) as is shown by the fact that there is no word in the Arabic language of the measure فَاعِيلٌ; (
Msb,
TA;) and some pronounce the former آمِّينَ, (
K,) which is said by some of the learned to be a
dial. var., (
Msb,) but this is a mistake, (
S,
Msb,)
accord. to authorities of good repute, and is one of old date, originating from an assertion of Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà, [i. e.
Th,] that آمِينَ is like عَاصِينَ, by which he was falsely supposed to mean its having the form of a
pl., [and being consequently آمِّينَ,] (
Msb, [and part of this is said in the
M,]) whereas he thereby only meant that the م is without teshdeed, like the ص in عَاصِينَ; (
M;) beside that the sense of قَاصِدِينَ [which is that of آمِّينَ, from أَمَّ,] would be inconsistent after the last phrase of the first chapter of the
Kur [where آمينَ is usually added]; (
Msb;) and sometimes it is pronounced with imáleh, [i. e. “émeena,”] as is said by ElWáhidee in the Beseet; (
K;) but this is unknown in works on lexicology, and is said to be a mispronunciation of some of the Arabs of the desert of El-Yemen: (
MF:) each form is
indecl., (
S,) with fet-h for its termination, like أَيْنَ and كَيْفَ, to prevent the occurrence of two quiescent letters together: (
T,
S,
TA:) it is a word used immediately after a prayer, or supplication: (
S, *
M:) [it is best expressed, when occurring in a translation, by the familiar Hebrew equivalent Amen:] El-
Fárisee says that it is a compound of a verb and a noun; (
M;) meaning answer Thou me; [i. e. answer Thou my prayer;] (
M,
Mgh;*) or O God, answer Thou: (
Zj,
T,
Msb,
K:) or so be it: (
AHát,
S,
Msb,
K:) or so do Thou, (
K,
TA,) O Lord: (
TA:) it is strangely asserted by some of the learned, that, after the
Fátihah, [or Opening Chapter of the
Kur-án,] it is a prayer which implies all that is prayed for in detail in the
Fátihah: so in the Towsheeh: (
MF:) or it is one of the names of God: (
M,
Msb,
K:) so says El-Hasan (
M,
Msb) El-Basree: (
Msb:) but the assertion that it is for يَا اَللّٰهُ [O God], and that اسْتَجِبٌ [answer Thou] is meant to be understood, is not correct
accord. to the lexicologists; for, were it so, it would be with refa, not nasb. (
T.) إِيمَانٌ [
inf. n. of 4,
q. v. b2: Used as a simple
subst., Belief; particularly in God, and in his word and apostles &c.: faith: trust, or confidence: &c.]
b3: Sometimes it means Prayer;
syn. صَلَاةٌ: as in the
Kur [ii. 138], where it is said, وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيَمانَكُمْ, (
Bd,
Jel,
TA,) i. e. [God will not make to be lost] your prayer towards Jerusalem, (
Bd, *
Jel,) as some explain it. (
Bd.)
b4: Sometimes, also, it is used as meaning The law brought by the Prophet. (
Er-Rághib,
TA.) مَأْـ
ـمَنٌ A place of security or safety or freedom from fear; or where one feels secure. (
M,
TA.) مُؤْـ
ـمَنٌ pass. part. n. of آ
مَنَــهُ. (
T.) It is said in the
Kur [iv. 96],
accord. to one reading, (
T,
M,) that of Aboo-Jaafar El-Medenee, (
T,) لَسْتَ مُؤْـ
ـمَنًــا [Thou art not granted security, or safety, &c.; or] we will not grant thee security, &c. (
T,
M.) مُؤْـ
ـمِنٌ [
act. part. n. of 4; Rendering secure, &c.]. المُؤْـ
ـمِنُ is an
epithet applied to God; meaning He who rendereth mankind secure from his wronging them: (
T,
S:) or He who rendereth his servants secure from his punishment: (
M,
IAth:)
i. q. المُهَيْـ
ـمِنُ, (
M,) which is originally المُؤَأْـ
ـمِنُ; [for the form مُفْعِلٌ is originally مُؤَفْعِلٌ;] the second ء being softened, and changed into ى, and the first being changed into ه: (
S:) or the Believer of his servants (
Th,
M,
TA) the Muslims, on the day of resurrection, when the nations shall be interrogated respecting the messages of their apostles: (
TA:) or He who will faithfully perform to his servants what He hath promised them: (
T,
TA:) or He who hath declared in his word the truth of his unity. (
T.)
b2: [Also Believing, or a believer; particularly in God, and in his word and apostles &c.: faithful: trusting, or confiding: &c.: see 4.]
مَأْمُونٌ: see أَمِينٌ, in three places.
b2: مَأْمُونَةٌ A woman whose like is sought after and eagerly retained because of her valuable qualities. (
