ومن بين ما عنى القرآن به أكبر عناية إبراز صفة الإنعام التى يتصف بها الله سبحانه؛ فيوجه أنظارهم إلى النعمة الكبرى التى أودعها قلوبهم وهى نعمة الهدوء والسكينة يحسون بها، عند ما يعودون إلى بيوتهم، مكدودين منهوكى القوى، وإلى هدايتهم إلى بناء بيوت من جلود الأنعام، يجدونها خفيفة المحمل في الظعن
والإقامة، وإلى اتخاذ أثاثهم وأمتعتهم من أصوافها وأوبارها، وإلى نعمة الظل يجدون عنده الأمن والاستقرار، وإن للشمس وحرارتها لوقعا مؤلما في النفوس وعلى الأجسام، ومن أجمل وسائل الاستتار هذه الثياب تقى صاحبها الحر، وبها تتم نعمة الله، فيقول: وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ سَكَناً وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ جُلُودِ الْأَنْعامِ بُيُوتاً تَسْتَخِفُّونَها يَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَيَوْمَ إِقامَتِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَصْوافِها وَأَوْبارِها وَأَشْعارِها أَثاثاً وَمَتاعاً إِلى حِينٍ وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلالًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْجِبالِ أَكْناناً وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرابِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ الْحَرَّ وَسَرابِيلَ تَقِيكُمْ بَأْسَكُمْ كَذلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ (النحل 79 - 81).
ويوجه أنظارهم إلى ما في خلق الزوج من نعمة تسكن إليها النفس، وتجد في ظلها الرحمة والمودة، فيقول: وَمِنْ آياتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْواجاً لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْها وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (الروم 21). وهو الذى يرزقهم، ويرزق ما على الأرض من دواب، لا تستطيع أن تتكفل برزق نفسها، وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ لا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّهُ يَرْزُقُها وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (العنكبوت 60). وينبههم إلى ما في اختلاف الليل والنهار من تجديد النشاط للجسم، وبعث القوة في الأحياء وما في الفلك المسخرة تنقل المتاجر فوق سطح البحر، فتنفع الناس، وفي الماء ينزل من السماء فيحيى الأرض بعد موتها، وفي الرياح تحمل السحاب المسخر بين السماء والأرض، ينبههم إلى نفع ذلك كله فيقول: إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهارِ وَالْفُلْكِ الَّتِي تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِما يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ وَما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّماءِ مِنْ ماءٍ فَأَحْيا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِها وَبَثَّ فِيها مِنْ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّياحِ وَالسَّحابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَيْنَ السَّماءِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ (البقرة 164). ويسأل عمن يلجئون إليه، حين يملأ قلبهم الرعب من ظلمة البر البحر، أليس الله هو الذى ينجيهم منه ومن كل كرب، فيقول:
قُلْ مَنْ يُنَجِّيكُمْ مِنْ ظُلُماتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ تَدْعُونَهُ تَضَرُّعاً وَخُفْيَةً لَئِنْ أَنْجانا مِنْ هذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُنَجِّيكُمْ مِنْها وَمِنْ كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ (الأنعام 63 - 64).
ويحدثهم عن نعمة تبادل الليل والنهار، وعما خلق له الليل من نعمة الهدوء والسكون، وعن الشمس والقمر يجريان في دقة ونظام، فيحسب الناس بهما حياتهم، وينظمون أعمالهم، وعن النجوم في السماء تزينها كمصابيح، ويهتدى بها السائر في ظلمات البر والبحر، وعن المطر ينزل من السماء، فتحيا به الأرض وتنبت به الجنات اليانعة، ذات الثمار المشتبهة وغير المشتبهة، وكان للمطر في الحياة العربية قدره وأثره، فعليه حياتهم، فلا جرم أكثر القرآن من الحديث عنه نعمة من أجلّ نعمه عليهم، فيقول: فالِقُ الْإِصْباحِ وَجَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ سَكَناً وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ حُسْباناً ذلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ النُّجُومَ لِتَهْتَدُوا بِها فِي ظُلُماتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْآياتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ واحِدَةٍ فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌ قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الْآياتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَفْقَهُونَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخْرَجْنا بِهِ نَباتَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَأَخْرَجْنا مِنْهُ خَضِراً نُخْرِجُ مِنْهُ حَبًّا مُتَراكِباً وَمِنَ النَّخْلِ مِنْ طَلْعِها قِنْوانٌ دانِيَةٌ وَجَنَّاتٍ مِنْ أَعْنابٍ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِهاً وَغَيْرَ مُتَشابِهٍ انْظُرُوا إِلى ثَمَرِهِ إِذا أَثْمَرَ وَيَنْعِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكُمْ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ (الأنعام 96 - 99)، وتحدث عن هذه النعم نفسها مرارا أخرى كقوله:
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَأَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَراتِ رِزْقاً لَكُمْ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ لِتَجْرِيَ فِي الْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْأَنْهارَ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ دائِبَيْنِ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهارَ وَآتاكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ما سَأَلْتُمُوهُ وَإِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ لا تُحْصُوها إِنَّ الْإِنْسانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ (إبراهيم 32 - 34). وتحدث إليهم عما أنعم به عليهم من أنعام، فيها دفء ومنافع، وجمال، وعاد فذكرهم بنعمة المطر وإنباته الزرع، وخص البحر بالحديث عن تسخيره، وما نستخرجه منه من اللحم والحلى، وما يجرى فوقه من فلك تمخر عبابه، فقال: وَالْأَنْعامَ خَلَقَها لَكُمْ فِيها دِفْءٌ وَمَنافِعُ وَمِنْها تَأْكُلُونَ وَلَكُمْ فِيها جَمالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ وَتَحْمِلُ أَثْقالَكُمْ إِلى بَلَدٍ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بالِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ الْأَنْفُسِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوها وَزِينَةً وَيَخْلُقُ ما لا تَعْلَمُونَ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ قَصْدُ السَّبِيلِ وَمِنْها جائِرٌ وَلَوْ شاءَ لَهَداكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً لَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَرابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ يُنْبِتُ لَكُمْ بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالنَّخِيلَ وَالْأَعْنابَ وَمِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَراتِ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهارَ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّراتٌ بِأَمْرِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ وَما ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفاً أَلْوانُهُ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْماً طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَها وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَواخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ وَأَلْقى فِي الْأَرْضِ رَواسِيَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهاراً وَسُبُلًا لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ وَعَلاماتٍ وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ أَفَمَنْ يَخْلُقُ كَمَنْ لا يَخْلُقُ أَفَلا تَذَكَّرُونَ وَإِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لا تُحْصُوها إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَغَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (الأنعام 5 - 18)، وللأنعام في حياة العرب بالبادية ما يستحق أن يذكروا به، وأن يسجل فضله عليهم بها. ويوجه القرآن نظرهم إلى خلقهم وما منحهم الله من نعمة السمع والبصر والعقل، فيقول: قُلْ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ قَلِيلًا ما تَشْكُرُونَ (الملك 23). وكثيرا ما امتنّ عليهم بنعمة الرزق، فيقرّرها مرة، ويقررهم بها أخرى، فيقول حينا: اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ قَراراً وَالسَّماءَ بِناءً وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِنَ الطَّيِّباتِ ذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَتَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعالَمِينَ (غافر 64). ويقول حينا: قُلْ مَنْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَمَّنْ يَمْلِكُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصارَ وَمَنْ يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَمَنْ يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ فَسَيَقُولُونَ اللَّهُ فَقُلْ أَفَلا تَتَّقُونَ (يونس 31). ويسترعى انتباههم إلى طعامهم الذى هو من فيض فضله، فيقول: فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسانُ إِلى طَعامِهِ أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْماءَ صَبًّا ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا فَأَنْبَتْنا فِيها حَبًّا وَعِنَباً وَقَضْباً وَزَيْتُوناً وَنَخْلًا وَحَدائِقَ غُلْباً وَفاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا مَتاعاً
لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعامِكُمْ
(عبس 24 - 32).
وإن في إكثار القرآن من الحديث عن هذه النعم، وتوجيه أنظارهم إليها، وتقريرهم بها، ما يدفعهم إلى التفكير في مصدرها، وأنه جدير بالعبادة، وما يثير في أنفسهم شكرها وتقديس بارئها، ولا سيما أن تلك النعم ليست في طاقة بشر، وأنها باعترافهم أنفسهم من خلق العلىّ القدير. وهكذا يتكئ القرآن على عاطفة إنسانية يثيرها، لتدفع صاحبها عن طريق الإعجاب حينا، والاعتراف بالجميل حينا، إلى الإيمان بالله وإجلاله وتقديسه. كما أن ذلك الوصف يبعث في النفس حب الله المنعم، فتكون عبادته منبعثة عن حبه وشكر أياديه.
ومما عنى القرآن بإبرازه من صفات الله وحدانيته، لم يلد، ولم يولد، ولم يكن له كفوا أحد، وقد أبرز القرآن في صورة قاطعة أنه لا يقبل الشرك ولا يغفره: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ ما دُونَ ذلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشاءُ وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرى إِثْماً عَظِيماً (النساء 48)؛ ويعد الإشراك رجسا فيقول: يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرامَ بَعْدَ عامِهِمْ هذا (التوبة 28).
أوليس في هذا التصوير ما يبعث في النفس النفور منه والاشمئزاز؟!
والقرآن يعرض لجميع ألوان الإشراك، فيدحضها ويهدمها من أساسها، فعرض لفكرة اتخاذ ولد، فحدثنا في صراحة عن أنه ليس في حاجة إلى هذا الولد، يعينه أو يساعده، فكل من في الوجود خاضع لأمره، لا يلبث أن ينقاد إذا دعى، وَقالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَداً سُبْحانَهُ بَلْ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ كُلٌّ لَهُ قانِتُونَ بَدِيعُ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَإِذا قَضى أَمْراً فَإِنَّما يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ (البقرة 116، 117). وحينا يدفع ذلك دفعا طبيعيا بأن الولد لا يكون إلا إذا كان ثمة له زوجة تلد، أما وقد خلق كل شىء، فليس ما يزعمونه ولدا سوى خلق ممن خلق:
بَدِيعُ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ صاحِبَةٌ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ خالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَاعْبُدُوهُ وَهُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ (الأنعام 101، 102).
ويعرض مرة أخرى لهذه الدعوى، فيقرر غناه عن هذا الولد، ولم يحتاج إليه، وله ما في السموات وما في الأرض، فيقول: قالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَداً سُبْحانَهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الْأَرْضِ إِنْ عِنْدَكُمْ مِنْ سُلْطانٍ بِهذا أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعْلَمُونَ قُلْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لا يُفْلِحُونَ مَتاعٌ فِي الدُّنْيا ثُمَّ إِلَيْنا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ الْعَذابَ الشَّدِيدَ بِما كانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ (يونس 68 - 70). ويعجب القرآن كيف يخيل للمشركين عقولهم أن يخصوا أنفسهم بالبنين ويجعلوا البنات لله، فيقول:
أَفَأَصْفاكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِالْبَنِينَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ إِناثاً إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلًا عَظِيماً (الإسراء 40).
ويصور القرآن- فى أقوى صور التعبير- موقف الطبيعة الساخطة المستعظمة نسبة الولد إلى الله، فتكاد- لشدة غضبها- أن تنفجر غيظا، وتنشق ثورة، وتخر الراسيات لهول هذا الافتراء، وضخامة هذا الكذب، وأصغ إلى تصوير هذا الغضب فى قوله: وَقالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمنُ وَلَداً لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئاً إِدًّا تَكادُ السَّماواتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبالُ هَدًّا أَنْ دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمنِ وَلَداً (مريم 88 - 91). أما هؤلاء الذين دعوهم أبناء الله، فليسوا سوى عباد مكرمين، خاضعين لأمره، ولن يجرؤ واحد منهم على ادعاء الألوهية، أما من تجرأ منهم على تلك الدعوى فجزاؤه جهنم، لأنه ظالم مبين، وهل هناك أقوى في هدم الدعوى من اعترف هؤلاء العباد أنفسهم الذين يدعونهم أبناء، بأنهم ليسوا سوى عبيد خاضعين، ومن جرؤ منهم على دعوى الألوهية كان جزاؤه عذاب جهنم خالدا فيها، قال تعالى: وَقالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمنُ وَلَداً سُبْحانَهُ بَلْ عِبادٌ مُكْرَمُونَ لا يَسْبِقُونَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ وَهُمْ بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ يَعْلَمُ ما بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَما خَلْفَهُمْ وَلا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضى وَهُمْ مِنْ خَشْيَتِهِ مُشْفِقُونَ وَمَنْ يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي إِلهٌ مِنْ دُونِهِ فَذلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ (الأنبياء 26 - 29).
وعلى هذا النسق نفسه جرى في الرد على من زعم ألوهية المسيح، فقد جعل المسيح نفسه يتبرأ من ذلك وينفيه، إذ قال: وَإِذْ قالَ اللَّهُ يا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّي إِلهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ قالَ سُبْحانَكَ ما يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ ما لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ إِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ تَعْلَمُ ما فِي نَفْسِي وَلا أَعْلَمُ ما فِي نَفْسِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ ما قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا ما أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيداً ما دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنْتَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ (المائدة 116، 117).
وتعرض القرآن مرارا لدعوى ألوهية عيسى، وقوض هذه الدعوى من أساسها بأن هذا المسيح الذى يزعمونه إلها، ليس لديه قدرة يدفع بها عن نفسه إن أراد الله أن يهلكه، وأنه لا امتياز له على سائر المخلوقات، بل هو خاضع لأمره، مقر بأنه ليس سوى عبد الله، وليس المسيح وأمه سوى بشرين يتبوّلان ويتبرّزان، أو تقبل الفطرة الإنسانية السليمة أن تتخذ لها إلها هذا شأنه، لا يتميز عن الناس في شىء، ولا يملك لهم شيئا من الضر ولا النفع، ولننصت إلى القرآن مهاجما دعوى ألوهية عيسى قائلا: لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ قُلْ فَمَنْ يَمْلِكُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً إِنْ أَرادَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ الْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَما بَيْنَهُما يَخْلُقُ ما يَشاءُ وَاللَّهُ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (المائدة 17). لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قالُوا
إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَقالَ الْمَسِيحُ يا بَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْواهُ النَّارُ وَما لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْصارٍ لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ ثالِثُ ثَلاثَةٍ وَما مِنْ إِلهٍ إِلَّا إِلهٌ واحِدٌ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهُوا عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ أَفَلا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ مَا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُ صِدِّيقَةٌ كانا يَأْكُلانِ الطَّعامَ انْظُرْ كَيْفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ الْآياتِ ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ قُلْ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلا نَفْعاً وَاللَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
(المائدة 72 - 76).
وإن الغريزة لتنأى عن عبادة من لا يملك الضرر ولا النفع. وتأمل جمال الكناية في قوله: يَأْكُلانِ الطَّعامَ. والمسيح مقر- كما رأيت- بعبوديته ولا يستنكف أن يكون لله عبدا، لَنْ يَسْتَنْكِفَ الْمَسِيحُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَبْداً لِلَّهِ وَلَا الْمَلائِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَمَنْ يَسْتَنْكِفْ عَنْ عِبادَتِهِ وَيَسْتَكْبِرْ فَسَيَحْشُرُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ جَمِيعاً (النساء 172).
وهاجم القرآن بكل قوة الإشراك بالله، وهو يهاجم ببلاغته العقل والوجدان معا فيأخذ في نقاش المشركين، ليصلوا إلى الحق بأنفسهم، ويلزمهم الحجة، ويقودهم إلى الصواب، فيسألهم عمن يرزقهم، ومن يملك سمعهم وأبصارهم، ومن يخرج الحى من الميت، ويخرج الميت من الحى، ومن يدبر أمر العالم، ومن يبدأ الخلق ثمّ يعيده، ومن يهدى إلى الحق، وإذا كان المشركون أنفسهم يعترفون بأن ذلك إنما هو من أفعال الله، فما قيمة هؤلاء الشركاء إذا، وما معنى إشراكهم لله في العبادة، أو ليس من يهدى إلى الحق جديرا بأن يعبد ويتّبع، أما من لا يهتدى إلا إذا اقتيد فمن الظلم عبادته، ومن الجهل اتباعه، وليست عبادة هؤلاء الشركاء سوى جرى وراءه وهم لا يغنى من الحق شيئا، وتأمل جمال هذا النقاش الذى يثير التفكير والوجدان معا: يثير التفكير بقضاياه، ويثير الوجدان بهذا التساؤل عن الجدير بالاتباع، وتصويره المشرك، مصروفا عن الحق، مأفوكا، ظالما، يتبع الظن الذى لا يغنى عن الحق شيئا، وذلك حين يقول: قُلْ مَنْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَمَّنْ يَمْلِكُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصارَ وَمَنْ يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَيُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَمَنْ يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ فَسَيَقُولُونَ اللَّهُ فَقُلْ أَفَلا تَتَّقُونَ فَذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ الْحَقُّ فَماذا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا الضَّلالُ فَأَنَّى تُصْرَفُونَ كَذلِكَ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ فَسَقُوا أَنَّهُمْ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ قُلْ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكائِكُمْ مَنْ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ قُلِ اللَّهُ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ قُلْ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكائِكُمْ مَنْ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ قُلِ اللَّهُ يَهْدِي لِلْحَقِّ أَفَمَنْ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّنْ لا يَهِدِّي إِلَّا أَنْ يُهْدى فَما لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ وَما يَتَّبِعُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ إِلَّا ظَنًّا إِنَّ الظَّنَّ لا يُغْنِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئاً إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِما يَفْعَلُونَ (يونس 31 - 36). وفي التحدث إليهم عن الرزق، وهدايتهم إلى الحق، ما يثير في أنفسهم عبادة هذا الذى يمدهم بالرزق، ويهديهم إلى الحق، واستمع إلى هذا النقاش الذى يحدثهم فيه عن نعمه عليهم، متسائلا:
أله شريك في هذه النعم التى أسداها، وإذا لم يكن له شريك فيما أسدى، فكيف يشرك به غيره في العبادة؟ فقال مرة: قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلامٌ عَلى عِبادِهِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفى آللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ أَمَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَأَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَنْبَتْنا بِهِ حَدائِقَ ذاتَ بَهْجَةٍ ما كانَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُنْبِتُوا شَجَرَها أَإِلهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَعْدِلُونَ أَمَّنْ جَعَلَ الْأَرْضَ قَراراً وَجَعَلَ خِلالَها أَنْهاراً وَجَعَلَ لَها رَواسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حاجِزاً أَإِلهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لا يَعْلَمُونَ أَمَّنْ يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذا دَعاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفاءَ الْأَرْضِ أَإِلهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ قَلِيلًا ما تَذَكَّرُونَ أَمَّنْ يَهْدِيكُمْ فِي ظُلُماتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَمَنْ يُرْسِلُ الرِّياحَ بُشْراً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ أَإِلهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ تَعالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ أَمَّنْ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَمَنْ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَإِلهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ قُلْ هاتُوا بُرْهانَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صادِقِينَ قُلْ لا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَما يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ بَلِ ادَّارَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِنْها بَلْ هُمْ مِنْها عَمُونَ وَقالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَإِذا كُنَّا تُراباً وَآباؤُنا أَإِنَّا لَمُخْرَجُونَ لَقَدْ وُعِدْنا هذا نَحْنُ وَآباؤُنا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنْ هذا إِلَّا أَساطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ وَلا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا تَكُنْ فِي ضَيْقٍ مِمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ مَتى هذَا الْوَعْدُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صادِقِينَ (النمل 59 - 71). أو ليس في إنبات الحدائق ذات البهجة، وتسيير الأنهار خلال الأرض، وإجابة المضطر إذا دعا، وكشف السوء، وجعلهم خلفاء الأرض، ما يبعث الابتهاج في النفس، والحب لله، ويدفع إلى عبادته وتوحيده ما دام هو الملجأ في الشدائد، والهادى في ظلمات البر والبحر، ومرسل الرياح بشرا بين يدى رحمته؟ ومرة يسائلهم قائلا: وَهُوَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْأُولى وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ اللَّيْلَ سَرْمَداً إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ مَنْ إِلهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِضِياءٍ أَفَلا تَسْمَعُونَ قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ النَّهارَ سَرْمَداً إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ مَنْ إِلهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ أَفَلا تُبْصِرُونَ وَمِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ (القصص 70 - 73). أوليس في الليل السرمد والنهار السرمد ما يبعث الخوف في النفس، والحب لمن جعل الليل والنهار خلفة؟!
وكثيرا ما تعجب القرآن من عبادتهم ما لا يضر ولا ينفع. والقرآن يبعث الخوف من سوء مصير هؤلاء المشركين يوم القيامة، فمرة يصورهم محاولين ستر جريمتهم بإنكارهم، حين لا يجدون لها سندا من الحق والواقع، فيقول:
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعاً ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا أَيْنَ شُرَكاؤُكُمُ الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِتْنَتُهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ قالُوا وَاللَّهِ رَبِّنا ما كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ انْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُوا عَلى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ما كانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ (يونس 22 - 24).
وحينا يصورهم، وقد تبرأ شركاؤهم من عبادتهم، فحبطت أعمالهم، وضل سعيهم، وذلك حين يقول: وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعاً ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا مَكانَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ وَشُرَكاؤُكُمْ فَزَيَّلْنا بَيْنَهُمْ وَقالَ شُرَكاؤُهُمْ ما كُنْتُمْ إِيَّانا تَعْبُدُونَ فَكَفى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً بَيْنَنا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِنْ كُنَّا عَنْ عِبادَتِكُمْ لَغافِلِينَ هُنالِكَ تَبْلُوا كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ما أَسْلَفَتْ وَرُدُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ مَوْلاهُمُ الْحَقِّ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ ما كانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ (يونس 28 - 30).
وحينا يصورهم هلكى في أشد صور الهلاك وأفتكها، إذ يقول: وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّما خَرَّ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ الطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِي بِهِ الرِّيحُ فِي مَكانٍ سَحِيقٍ (الحج 31). أما المصير المنتظر لمن يشرك بالله فأن يلقى في جهنم ملوما مدحورا.
ومن أبرز صفات الله في القرآن قدرته، يوجّه النظر إلى مظاهرها، ويأخذ بيدهم ليدركوا آثار هذه القدرة، مبثوثة في أرجاء الكون وفي أنفسهم، فهذه الأرض هو الذى بسطها فراشا، وتلك السماء رفعها بناء، وهذه الجبال بثها في الأرض أوتادا، وهذه الشمس والقمر والنجوم مسخرات بأمره، ووجه النظر إلى هذه الحبوب فلقها بقدرته، كما فلق النوى ليخرج منه النخل باسقات، ويوجه أنظارهم إلى ألوان المخلوقات وأنواعها وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَابَّةٍ مِنْ ماءٍ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلى بَطْنِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلى رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلى أَرْبَعٍ يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (النور 45). وَمِنْ آياتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ تُرابٍ ثُمَّ إِذا أَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ تَنْتَشِرُونَ وَمِنْ آياتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْواجاً لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْها وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ وَمِنْ آياتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوانِكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِلْعالِمِينَ وَمِنْ آياتِهِ مَنامُكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهارِ وَابْتِغاؤُكُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ وَمِنْ آياتِهِ يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاً وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَيُحْيِي بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِها إِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ وَمِنْ آياتِهِ أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّماءُ وَالْأَرْضُ بِأَمْرِهِ ثُمَّ إِذا دَعاكُمْ دَعْوَةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ إِذا أَنْتُمْ تَخْرُجُونَ (الروم 20 - 25). خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَها وَأَلْقى فِي الْأَرْضِ رَواسِيَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ فِيها مِنْ كُلِّ دابَّةٍ وَأَنْزَلْنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَنْبَتْنا فِيها مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ (لقمان 10). ويوجّه النظر إلى توالى الليل والنهار، وتسخير الشمس والقمر، فيقول: أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي إِلى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ ذلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ وَأَنَّ ما يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ الْباطِلُ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ (لقمان 29، 30)؛ وكرر ذلك مرارا عدة، كقوله: أَفَلَمْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَى السَّماءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْناها وَزَيَّنَّاها وَما لَها مِنْ فُرُوجٍ وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْناها وَأَلْقَيْنا فِيها رَواسِيَ وَأَنْبَتْنا فِيها مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ تَبْصِرَةً وَذِكْرى لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُنِيبٍ وَنَزَّلْنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً مُبارَكاً فَأَنْبَتْنا بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ وَالنَّخْلَ باسِقاتٍ لَها طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ رِزْقاً لِلْعِبادِ وَأَحْيَيْنا بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَيْتاً كَذلِكَ الْخُرُوجُ (ق 6 - 11).
ويوجّه أنظارهم إلى قدرته في خلقهم، إذ يقول: هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمْ فِي الْأَرْحامِ كَيْفَ يَشاءُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ (آل عمران 6). ويقول: يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهاتِكُمْ خَلْقاً مِنْ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِي ظُلُماتٍ ثَلاثٍ ذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَأَنَّى تُصْرَفُونَ (الزمر 6).
صوّر القرآن قدرة الله الباهرة التى لا يعجزها شىء، والتى يستجيب لأمرها كل شىء، بهذا التّصوير البارع إذ قال: إِنَّما أَمْرُهُ إِذا أَرادَ شَيْئاً أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ (يس 82).
ولما وجّه النظر إلى مظاهر قدرته، اتخذ ذلك ذريعة إلى إقناعهم بأمر البعث، فحينا يتساءل أمن خلق السموات والأرض، ولم يجد مشقة في خلقها يعجز عن إحياء الموتى، فيقول: أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَعْيَ بِخَلْقِهِنَّ بِقادِرٍ عَلى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتى بَلى إِنَّهُ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (الأحقاف 33). ويقرر أن خلق السموات والأرض أكبر من خلق الناس، لَخَلْقُ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لا يَعْلَمُونَ (غافر 57). ولذا صح هذا التساؤل ليقروا: أَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقاً أَمِ السَّماءُ بَناها رَفَعَ سَمْكَها فَسَوَّاها وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَها وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحاها وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ دَحاها أَخْرَجَ مِنْها ماءَها وَمَرْعاها وَالْجِبالَ أَرْساها مَتاعاً لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعامِكُمْ (النازعات 27 - 33). وسوف نكمل الحديث عن ذلك في فصل اليوم الآخر.
ومن أظهر صفات الله في القرآن علمه، وإحاطة علمه بكل شىء في الأرض وفي السماء وَما يَعْزُبُ عَنْ رَبِّكَ مِنْ مِثْقالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلا فِي السَّماءِ وَلا أَصْغَرَ مِنْ ذلِكَ وَلا أَكْبَرَ إِلَّا فِي كِتابٍ مُبِينٍ (يونس 61). ويقول على لسان لقمان لابنه: يا بُنَيَّ إِنَّها إِنْ تَكُ مِثْقالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ فَتَكُنْ فِي صَخْرَةٍ أَوْ فِي السَّماواتِ أَوْ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَأْتِ بِهَا اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَطِيفٌ خَبِيرٌ (لقمان 16). أرأيت هذا التصوير المؤثر لإحاطة علم الله بكل شىء، فلا يغيب عنه موضع ذرّة بين طيات صخرة أو في طبقات السموات، أو في أعماق الأرض، ويعلم الله الغيب، ومن ذلك ما يرونه بأعينهم في كل يوم من أمور غيبيّة، يدركون أنها مستورة عليهم، مع قرب بعضها منهم، إذ يقول: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ ما فِي الْأَرْحامِ وَما تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ ماذا تَكْسِبُ غَداً وَما تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ (لقمان 34). وَإِنْ تَجْهَرْ بِالْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَأَخْفى (طه 7). واقرأ هذا التصوير الشامل لعلمه في قوله: وَعِنْدَهُ مَفاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لا يَعْلَمُها إِلَّا هُوَ وَيَعْلَمُ ما فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَما تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُها وَلا حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُماتِ الْأَرْضِ وَلا رَطْبٍ وَلا يابِسٍ إِلَّا فِي كِتابٍ مُبِينٍ (الأنعام 59). وهكذا يصور القرآن شمول علم الله تصويرا ملموسا محسا.
ومن أظهر صفاته كذلك شدة قربه إلى الناس، ما يَكُونُ مِنْ نَجْوى ثَلاثَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ رابِعُهُمْ وَلا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سادِسُهُمْ وَلا أَدْنى مِنْ ذلِكَ وَلا أَكْثَرَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْنَ ما كانُوا ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِما عَمِلُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ (المجادلة 7). وأمر الرسول بأن يخبر الناس بقربه، يسمعهم ويصغى إليهم إذا دعوا، فقال: وَإِذا سَأَلَكَ عِبادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذا دَعانِ (البقرة 186). ولا يستطيع فرد أن يعيش بعيدا عن عينه، يَعْلَمُ ما يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها وَما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَما يَعْرُجُ فِيها وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ ما كُنْتُمْ وَاللَّهُ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ (الحديد 4). بل هو أقرب شىء إلى الإنسان، يعلم خلجات نفسه، ويدرك أسراره وخواطره لا يغيب عنه منها شىء، وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسانَ وَنَعْلَمُ ما تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ (ق 16).
والعدل، وقد أطال القرآن في تأكيد هذه الصفة، وأكثر من تكريرها، فكل إنسان مجزى بعمله وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْماً لِلْعِبادِ (غافر 31). مَنْ عَمِلَ صالِحاً فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ أَساءَ فَعَلَيْها وَما رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ (فصلت 146). ويقرر في صراحة إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَظْلِمُ النَّاسَ شَيْئاً وَلكِنَّ النَّاسَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ (يونس 44). وإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقالَ ذَرَّةٍ (النساء 40).
وإن في تقرير هذه الصفات وتأكيدها لدفعا للمرء إلى التفكير قبل العمل، كى لا يغضب الله العالم بكل صغيرة وكبيرة تصدر منه، والقريب إليه قربا لا قرب أشد منه، وفي تأكيد صفتى العلم والقرب ما يبعث الخجل في الإنسان من أن يعمل ما يغضب الله وما حرمه، وفي تأكيد صفة العدل ما يبعث على محاسبة النفس لأن الخير سيعود إليها ثوابه، والشر سيرجع عليها عقابه.
وكان وصف القرآن لله بالرحمة والرأفة والحلم والغفران والشكر، أكثر من وصفه بالانتقام وشدّة العذاب، بل هو عند ما يوصف بهما، تذكر إلى جانبهما أحيانا صفات الرحمة؛ فكثيرا ما يكرر القرآن معنى قوله: إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ (البقرة 143). وقوله: وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءاً أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً (النساء 110). وأكّد هذا الوصف حتى قال: كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ سُوءاً بِجَهالَةٍ ثُمَّ تابَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (الأنعام 54). وَقُلْ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ (المؤمنون 118). أَنْتَ وَلِيُّنا فَاغْفِرْ لَنا وَارْحَمْنا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْغافِرِينَ (الأعراف 155). ويفتح باب رحمته وغفرانه، حتى لمن أسرف ولج في العصيان، إذ يقول: قُلْ يا عِبادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ (الزمر 53). وبذلك كانت الصورة التى رسمها القرآن مليئة بالأمل والرجاء، تحيى في النفس التفاؤل، كما أن كثرة وصفه بالرحمة وأخواتها، تجعل عبادة الله منبعثة عن الحب، أكثر منها منبعثة عن الرهبة والخوف، ولكن لما كان كثير من النفوس يخضع بالرهبة دون الرغبة وصف القرآن الله بالعزة والانتقام وشدة العذاب، يقرن ذلك بوصفه بالرحمة حينا، ولا يقرنها بها حينا آخر، فيقول مرة: اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقابِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (المائدة 98). غافِرِ الذَّنْبِ وَقابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ (غافر 3). إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ وَذُو عِقابٍ أَلِيمٍ (فصلت 43). ويقول أخرى: وَما آتاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَما نَهاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقابِ (الحشر 7). عَفَا اللَّهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَ وَمَنْ عادَ فَيَنْتَقِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو انْتِقامٍ (المائدة 95). إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآياتِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَاللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو انْتِقامٍ (آل عمران 4). وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِنْ هادٍ وَمَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِنْ مُضِلٍّ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِعَزِيزٍ ذِي انْتِقامٍ (الزمر 37). وبرغم وصفه بالعزّة والانتقام والجبروت كانت الصفة الغالبة في القرآن هى الإنعام والرحمة والتّفضّل وأنه الملجأ والوزر، يجيب المضطرّ إذا دعاه، ويكشف السوء، وينجّى في ظلمات البرّ والبحر، فهى صورة محبّبة إلى النفوس، تدفع إلى العبادة، عبادة من هو جدير بها، لكثرة فضله وخيره وإنعامه.
وأفحم القرآن من ادّعى الألوهية من البشر إفحاما لا مخلص له منه، وذلك في الحديث الذى دار بين إبراهيم وهذا الملك الذى ادعى أنه إله، إذ يقول: أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِي حَاجَّ إِبْراهِيمَ فِي رَبِّهِ أَنْ آتاهُ اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ إِذْ قالَ إِبْراهِيمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ قالَ أَنَا أُحْيِي وَأُمِيتُ قالَ إِبْراهِيمُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْتِي بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِها مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ (البقرة 258).
وأرشد ــالقرآن إلى أن العقل السليم والفطرة المستقيمة يرشدان إلى وجود الله ويدلّان على وحدانيته، فهذا إبراهيم قد وجد قومه يتخذون أصناما آلهة، فلم ترقه عبادتهم، فمضى إلى الكون يلتمس إلهه، فلما رأى نورا يشع ليلا من كوكب في الأفق ظنه إلها، ولكنه لم يلبث أن رآه قد أفل، فأنكر على نفسه اتخاذ كوكب يأفل إلها، إذ الإله يجب أن يكون ذا عين لا تغفل ولا تنام، وهكذا أعجب بالقمر، واستعظم الشمس، ولكنهما قد مضيا آفلين، فأدرك إبراهيم أن ليس في كل هؤلاء من يستحق عبادة ولا تقديسا، وأنّ الله الحق هو الذى فطر السموات والأرض، واستمع إلى القرآن يصوّر تأمل إبراهيم في قوله: وَإِذْ قالَ إِبْراهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ آزَرَ أَتَتَّخِذُ أَصْناماً آلِهَةً إِنِّي أَراكَ وَقَوْمَكَ فِي ضَلالٍ مُبِينٍ وَكَذلِكَ نُرِي إِبْراهِيمَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُوقِنِينَ فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلُ رَأى كَوْكَباً قالَ هذا رَبِّي فَلَمَّا أَفَلَ قالَ لا أُحِبُّ الْآفِلِينَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَمَرَ بازِغاً قالَ هذا رَبِّي فَلَمَّا أَفَلَ قالَ لَئِنْ لَمْ يَهْدِنِي رَبِّي لَأَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الضَّالِّينَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الشَّمْسَ بازِغَةً قالَ هذا رَبِّي هذا أَكْبَرُ فَلَمَّا أَفَلَتْ قالَ يا قَوْمِ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً وَما أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ (الأنعام 74 - 79).

سلم

1 سَلِمَ, [aor. ـَ inf. n. سَلَامَةٌ (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and سَلَامٌ (A, TA) and سَلَمٌ and سَلْمٌ and سِلْمٌ, (Bd in xxxix. 30,) He was, or became, safe, or secure; or he escaped; (M, TA;) or he was, or became, free; (TA;) مِنَ الآفَاتِ [from evils of any kind], (S, Mgh,) or مِنَ الآفَةِ [from evil of any kind], (K,) or مِنَ البَلَآءِ [from trial, or affliction], (A, TA,) or مِنَ الأَمْرِ [from the affair]: (M:) he (a traveller) was, or became, safe, secure, or free, from evils of any kind: (Msb:) and سَلِمَ مِنَ العَيْبِ he was, or became, free from fault, defect, imperfection, blemish, or vice; syn. بَرِئَ. (Msb in art. برأ.) [Hence,] one says, لَا بِذِى تَسْلَمُ مَا كَانَ

گَذَا وَكَذَا, (ISk, S, K, *) meaning No, by God [or Him] who maketh thee to be in safety, (ISk, S, K,) [such and such things were not;] and to two persons لا بذى تَسْلَمَانِ, and to a pl. number لا بذى تَسْلَمُونَ, and to a female لا بذى تَسْلَمِينَ, and to a pl. number [of females] لا بذى تَسْلَمْنَ. (ISk, S, K. *) And لَا أَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ بِذِى تَسْلَمُ, meaning, بِذِى سَلَامَتِكِ [i. e. I will not do that, by the Author (lit. Lord or Master) of thy safety]; and in like manner, بذى تَسْلَمَانِ, and بذى تَسْلَمُونَ. (Sb, M. [See also ذو.]) And اِذْهَبْ بِذِى تَسْلَمُ, i. e. اِذْهَبْ بِسَلَامَتِكَ [Go thou with thy safety; or, with the Author of thy safety to protect thee; meaning go thou in safety]; and [to two persons]

اِذْهَبَا بِذِى تَسْلَمَانِ. (S, K.) ذى is thus prefixed to a verb [as virtually governing it in the gen. case] like as آيَة is in an instance mentioned under this latter word; but these are two extr. instances; for only a noun significant of time is [regularly] prefixed to a verb, as in the phrase هٰذَا يَوْمُ يُفْعَلُ, meaning يُفْعَلُ فِيهِ: (Akh, S:) it is not prefixed to any but this verb تَسْلَمُ [and its variations as above mentioned]. (Sb, M, K.) b2: And hence, (Mgh,) one says also, سَلِمَتْ لَهُ الضَّيْعَةُ, meaning [The landed estate] was, or became, free from participation to him; syn. خَلَصَت. (Mgh, TA.) A2: سلمهُ, [app. سَلَمَهُ, or perhaps سَلِمَهُ, for some verbs of this measure are trans., as حَسِبَ and وَرِثَ,] inf. n. سلم, [app. سَلَمٌ, q. v. infrà,] He made him a captive. (TA.) A3: سَلَمَتْهُ الحَيَّةُ, (TA,) inf. n. سَلْمٌ, (M, K, TA,) The serpent bit him: (M, * K, * TA:) mentioned by Az, but he adds that no one but Lth has said this. (TA.) A4: سَلَمَ الجِلْدَ, aor. ـِ (S, K,) inf. n. سَلْمٌ, (TA,) He tanned the skin with [قَرَظ, i. e. leaves of] the سَلَم [or mimosa flava]. (S, K, TA.) b2: سَلَمَ الدَّلْوَ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. سَلْمٌ, (M,) He finished making the leathern bucket; and made it firm, strong, or sound, or made it firmly, strongly, or soundly. (M, K.) 2 سلّمهُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَسْلِيمٌ, (K,) He (God) made him to be safe, secure, or free; saved, secured, or freed, him; (M, Msb, TA;) مِنَ الآفَاتِ [from evils of any kind], (S, Msb,) or مِنَ الآفَةِ [from evil of any kind], (K,) or مِنَ الأَمْرِ [from the affair]. (M.) [Freytag assigns the same meaning to ↓ اسلمهُ also, as on the authority of the Ham; in which I find no explanation of this verb except one which will be found later in this paragraph.] b2: [Hence,] التَّسْلِيمُ is also syn. with السَّلَامُ, (S, K, TA,) as meaning The saluting, or greeting, one with a prayer for his safety, or security, or freedom, from evils of any kind in his religion and in his person; and the interpretation thereof is [the expressing a desire for] التَّخْلِيصٌ; (Mbr, TA;) or the saluting, or greeting, one with a prayer for his life; or, by saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ [q. v. infrà, voce سَلَامٌ]; syn. التَّحِيَّةُ. (TA.) You say, سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ [meaning He so saluted, or greeted, him]. (M, Msb.) [This, when said of God, virtually means سَلَّمَهُ, i. e. He saved him; and should be rendered agreeably with this explanation in the phrase commonly used after the mention of the Prophet, صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ May God bless and save him. You say also, سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ بِالخِلَافَةِ He saluted him with the acknowledgment of his being Khaleefeh; saying, سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ Salutation to thee, or peace be on thee, &c., O Prince of the Faithful.] التَّسْلِيمَةُ signifies The salutation that is pronounced on finishing every two rek'ahs in prayer: (Har p. 180:) [and also that which is pronounced after the last rek'ah of each of the prayers (i. e. after the sunneh prayers and the fard alike), addressed to the two guardian and recording angels: (see my “ Modern Egyptians,” ch. iii., p. 78 of the 5th ed.:) and سَلَّمَ means He pronounced either of those salutations.] b3: [Hence also,] سلّم إِلَيْهِ الشَّىْءَ, (S, K, *) inf. n. as above; (K;) and ↓ اسلم اليه الشىءَ; (M;) He gave to him the thing; (S, * M, K;) or delivered it to him: (M:) [he resigned it to him:] and سلّم إِلَيْهِ الوَدِيعَةَ, (Mgh,) or سلّم الوَدِيعَةَ لِصَاحِبِهَا, He delivered the deposit [to him, or] to its owner: (Msb:) and ↓ اسلم الثَّوْبَ إِلَى الخَيَّاطِ (Mgh) signifies the same as سلّمهُ إِلَيْهِ [i. e. He delivered the garment, or piece of cloth, to the tailor]. (Har p. 166.) b4: See also 4, in two places. b5: You say also, سلّم الأَجِيرُ نَفْسَهُ لِلْمُسْتَأْجِرِ The hired man gave himself up, or gave authority over himself, to the hirer. (Msb.) And ↓ أَسْلَمْتُهُ and سَلَّمْتُهُ I left him in the power of him who desired to kill him or to wound him. (Ham p. 115.) And لِلْهَلَكَةِ ↓ اسلمهُ [He gave him up to destruction]: in this case with [the prep.] ل only. (Har p. 166.) and الرَّجُلَ ↓ اسلم, (S, * M, Msb, *) or العَدُوَّ, (K,) He left, forsook, or deserted, (M, K,) the man, (S, * M, Msb, *) or the enemy; (K;) or abstained from aiding, or assisting, him; (S, M, Msb, K;) and threw him into destruction. (IAth, TA.) and لِمَا بِهِ ↓ اسلمهُ He left him [to that bane which was in him: app. referring to the bite of a serpent, or any evil affection: see سَلِيمٌ, third sentence]. (S, * M.) b6: And سلّم أَمْرَهُ إِلَى اللّٰهِ and ↓ اسلمهُ, both meaning the same, (S, Msb, K, TA,) i. e. He committed his case to God. (TA.) b7: And سلّم الدَّعْوَى He acknowledged the truth [or justice] of the claim, demand, or suit; [he conceded its truth or justice;] from سلّم الوَدِيعَةَ لِصَاحِبِهَا, expl. above; denoting an ideal delivering [or yielding of a thing to another person]. (Msb.) [Hence one says, سلّم أَنَّهُ كَذَا He conceded that it was thus.] b8: And التَّسْلِيمُ signifies also [The assenting, or] the giving [one's] approval (S, K, TA) unreservedly, (S,) to that which is ordained, or decreed, (S, K, TA,) by God; and the submitting to his commands; and the abstaining from offering opposition in the case in which it is not becoming [to do so]. (TA.) You say, سلّم لِأَمْرِ اللّٰهِ He assented to the command of God: [or he gave his approval to it:] or he submitted to it; as also ↓ اسلم. (MA.) 3 سالمهُ, (M, Msb,) inf. n. مُسَالَمَةٌ (S, M, Msb) and سِلَامٌ, (M, Msb,) He made peace, or became at peace or reconciled, with him; or he reconciled himself with him: [implying mutual concession, or a compromise:] (S, * M, Msb:) and سَالَمَا They made peace, or became at peace or reconciled, or they reconciled themselves, each with the other. (K.) 4 أَسْلَمَ see 2, in nine places. [The first of the meanings there assigned to this verb is, in my opinion, more than doubtful. In all its senses, it seems to be properly trans.: when it is used as an intrans. verb, an objective complement is app. understood. Thus,] أَسْلَمَ is syn. with أَسْلَفَ [as meaning He paid in advance, or beforehand]; (S, M, Mgh, Msb;) الثَّمَنَ [the price] being suppressed, though sometimes it is expressed; (Mgh;) as also ↓ سلّم; (M;) and ↓ تسلّم, as occurring in a trad., where it is said, مَنْ تَسَلَّمَ فِى شَىْءٍ فَلَا يَصْرِفُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ [Whoso pays in advance for a thing, he shall not turn it over, or transfer it, to another than him]; but KT says that he had not heard this verb thus used except in this instance. (TA.) So the first of these verbs signifies in the saying, اسلم فِى الطَّعَامِ (S) or فى البُرِّ (Mgh) [He paid in advance for the wheat], and فى الشَّىْءِ [for the thing], as also ↓ سلّم. (M.) and hence the saying, إِذَا أَسْلَمَ صُوفًا فِى لِبْدٍ أَوْ شَعَرًا فِى

مِسْحٍ لَمْ يَجُزْ [If he give in advance wool for felt, or goats' hair for a garment, or piece, of haircloth, it will not be allowable]. (Mgh.) And so in the phrase, أَسْلَمْتُ إِلَيْهِ [I paid in advance to him]. (Msb.) b2: Also [He resigned, or submitted, himself; نَفْسَهُ being understood: or] he was, or became, resigned, or submissive; (M, K;) and so ↓ استسلم: (S, M, Msb, K:) you say, اسلم لِلّٰهِ [He resigned, or submitted, himself, or he was, or became, resigned, or submissive, to God: see also an ex. (before referred to) in the last sentence of the second paragraph: or he was, or became, sincere in his religion, or without hypocrisy, towards God: see مُسْلِمٌ]: (Msb:) [or]

اسلم signifies he entered into السِّلْم, (S, Msb,) which here means الاِسْتِسْلَام [i. e. the state of resignation, or submission]. (S.) b3: And He became a Muslim; as also ↓ تسلّم; (M, * K;) as in the saying, كَانَ كَافِرًا ثُمَّ تَسَلَّمَ, i. e. أَسْلَمَ [He was an unbeliever, or a denier of the unity of God, &c.; then he became a Muslim]: (M:) or he entered [the pale, or communion, of] the religion of الإِسْلَام. (S, * Msb.) الإِسْلَامُ as a principle of the law of God is The manifesting of humility or submission, and outward conforming with the law of God, and the taking upon oneself to do or to say as the Prophet has done or said: for this, the blood is to be spared, and one may demand the repelling of evil: (T, * M:) and if there is therewith firm belief with the heart, it is إِيمَانٌ: (T:) this is the doctrine of Esh-Sháfi'ee; but the doctrine of Aboo-Haneefeh makes no difference between these two terms: (KT:) [agreeably with the former doctrine,] Th well and briefly says, الاسلام is with the tongue, and الايمان is with the heart: and he says, in explaining verse 48 of ch. v. of the Kur, that every prophet has been sent with الاسلام, though the ordinances differ. (M.) b4: One says also, أَسْلَمْتُ عَنْهُ, meaning I left it [app. an affair, as in an explanation in the TK,] after I had been [engaged] in it. (Ibn-Buzurj, K.) And اسلم occurs intransitively in the saying, كَانَ رَاعِىَ غَنَمٍ ثُمَّ

أَسْلَمَ, meaning [He was a pastor of sheep, or goats; then] he left them. (M.) b5: [Freytag assigns to اسلم another signification “ Adscendere fecit (vid. a سُلَّم),” as from the Ham, p. 39: but this is app. a mistake, into which he has been led by a saying, there cited, of Zuheyr, which I read thus: هَوِىَّ الدَّلْوِ أَسْلَمَهَا الرِّشَآءُ (meaning, The descent, or as the descent, of the bucket that the well-rope has let go): and by its being there said that “ you should not prefer any reading of هوى to that with damm, though it has been said otherwise: ” whereas the correct reading is, in my opinion, هَوِىّ, agreeably with what here follows:] Er-Riyáshee says, on the authority of Az, that الهَوِىُّ, with fet-h, is downwards; and with damm, upwards; and he cites the saying above as an ex. of the word as meaning downwards. (TA in art. هوى.) 5 تسلّم مِنْهُ He asserted, or declared, himself to be free from, or clear of, or quit of, it, or him. (M.) b2: تسلّم is also syn. with أُسْلَمَ, in two senses: see the latter, in two places.

A2: and تسلّمهُ signifies He took it, or received it; namely, a thing given, or delivered. (S, M, Msb, K.) 6 تسالموا, (M,) and تسالما, (K,) inf. n. تَسَالُمٌ, (S,) They, (M,) or they two, (K,) made peace, or became at peace or reconciled, (S, * M, K,) one with another, (S, M,) or each with the other. (S, K.) [See also 8.] b2: One says of a man, (M,) of a great, or frequent, liar, (TA,) لَا تَسَالَمُ خَيْلَاهُ, [for تَتَسَالَمُ,] (M,) or لَا يَتَسَالَمُ خَيْلَاهُ, (K, TA,) [(assumed tropical:) His two troops of horses will not agree in pace, each with the other;] meaning (tropical:) [his assertions will not be found to agree together; or] he will not say what is true, so that it may be accepted from him: for تَسَالَمَتْ, said of horses, means (assumed tropical:) they kept pace, one with another; (تَسَايَرَتْ [q. v.];) not exciting one another. (M, K, TA.) 8 استلم He became at peace, or reconciled. (TA.) Hence the saying, (TA,) هُوَ لَا يَسْتَلَمُ عَلَى

سَخَطِهِ He will not become at peace, or reconciled, during his displeasure at a thing. (K, TA.) [See also 6.] b2: استلم الزَّرْعُ The seed-produce put forth its ears. (K.) A2: استلم الحَجَرَ He touched, (S, K,) or reached, (Mgh,) the stone, [meaning the Black Stone of the Kaabeh,] by kissing, or with the hand: (S, Mgh, K:) or he wiped it, or stroked it, with the hand: (Mgh:) or he kissed the stone: or he embraced it: (M:) and اِسْتَلْأَمَهُ signifies the same; (M, K;) but is not the original: (M:) accord. to ISk, the Arabs pronounced it with hemz, contr. to analogy; (Msb;) or it should not be pronounced with hemz, though some thus pronounce it, (S,) the original being استلم, (ISk, Msb,) because it is from سِلَامٌ [pl. of سَلِمَةٌ] signifying “ stones,” (ISk, S, * M, Msb, * [in the Mgh, from سَلِمَةٌ signifying “ a stone,” and in the Msb the pl. of سَلِمَةٌ is said to be سَلَامٌ, like كَلَامٌ,]) accord. to Sb, who says that it does not denote the act of taking; (M;) or, accord. to Sb, it is from السَّلَامُ, with fet-h, meaning “ salutation,” and it means the touching with the hand by way of salutation in order to obtain a blessing thereby: (TA:) but accord. to IAar, the original is with hemz, from المُلَآءَمَةُ, meaning الاِجْتِمَاعُ [“ the coming together,” &c., because denoting contact]. (Msb.) Abu-t-Tufeyl is related to have said, رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَطُوفُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ يَسْتَلِمُ بِمِحْجَنِهِ وَيُقَبِّلُ المِحْجَنَ [i. e. I saw the Apostle of God (may God bless and save him) circuiting around the Kaabeh, upon his camel, touching the Black Stone with his hooked staff, and kissing the hooked staff]. (TA.) The primary signification of الاِسْتِلَامُ is [said to be] The wiping, or stroking, the سَلِمَة, i. e. the stone: afterwards it was used in relation to other things, and one said اِسْتَلَمْتُ يَدَهَا, meaning I stroked, or kissed, her hand. (Har pp. 30 and 31.) b2: استلم الخُفُّ قَدَمَيْهِ means The boot rendered his feet soft [after he had been accustomed to walking barefoot]. (TA.) 10 إِسْتَسْلَمَ see 4, in the former half of the paragraph.

A2: استسلم ثَكَمَ الطَّرِيقِ He went upon the middle of the road, not missing it. (K, * TA. [In the CK, after واسْتَسْلَمَ انقادَ, for وثَكَمَ الطَّرِيقِ, meaning واستسلم ثَكَمَ الطَّرِيقِ, is erroneously put وتَسَلَّمَ الطَّرِيقَ, assigning to تسلّم a meaning belonging to استسلم.]) Q. Q. 2 تَمَسْلَمَ [from مُسْلِمٌ] He named, or called, himself a Muslim; or he named himself Muslim; his name having before been Mohammad: (M, K:) mentioned by Er-Ru-ásee. (M.) سَلْمٌ: see the next paragraph, in six places.

A2: Also A leathern bucket (دَلْوٌ) having one عُرْوَة [or loop-shaped handle], (T, S, M, K,) with which the waterer walks, like the buckets (دِلَآء) of the attendants of the camels or other beasts upon which water is drawn or which carry water, (T, TA,) or like the دَلْو of the water-carriers: (S, K:) expl. in the S as above as on the authority of AA; but IB says that the correct explanation is, having one عَرْقُوَة [or stick fixed across from one part of the brim to the to the opposite part, serving as a handle as well as to keep it from collapsing]: (TA:) of the masc. gender [whereas دَلْوٌ is fem.]: (M:) pl. [of pauc.] أَسْلُمٌ and [of mult.] سِلَامٌ, (M, K,) and Lh mentions as its pl. أَسَالِمُ, which is extr. [unless as a pl. pl., i. e. pl. of أَسْلُمٌ]. (M.) سِلْمٌ Peace, or reconciliation; as also ↓ سَلْمٌ; (S, M, Msb, K;) masc. and fem.; (S, Msb, K; *) and ↓ سَلَمٌ and ↓ سَلَامٌ are like سِلْمٌ [in signification]: (M: [the context there shows that the signification mentioned above is what is meant in this instance:]) or سِلْمٌ signifies the making peace, or becoming at peace or reconciled, with another or others; (Ham p. 80;) as also ↓ سَلْمٌ; and both are sometimes fem. as being syn. with مُصَالَحَةٌ. (L voce جَنَحَ, q. v.) In the saying of El-Aashà, أَذَاقَتْهُمُ الحَرْبُ أَنْفَاسَهَا

↓ وَقَدْ تُكْرَهُ الحَرْبُ بَعْدَ السِّلِمْ [War made them, or has made them, to taste its draughts, and verily war is disliked after peace], he has transferred the vowel of the م to the ل, in pausing; or it may be that he has inserted a kesreh in imitation of the preceding kesreh: it is not an instance like إِبِل, in the opinion of Sb; for in his opinion the latter is the only instance of its kind. (M.) It is said in a trad., respecting El-Hodeybiyeh, أَخَذَ ثَمَانِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ سِلْمًا, or ↓ سَلْمًا, or ↓ سَلَمًا, accord. to different relations, meaning [He took forty of the people of Mekkeh] peaceably: thus expl. by El-Homeydee, in his “ Ghareeb. ” (TA. [See also سَلَمٌ below.]) b2: Also i. q. ↓ سَلَامٌ, (S, K, TA,) as signifying Selfresignation, or submission; (TA; [and thus the latter is expl. in one place in the S;]) which is also a signification of ↓ سَلَمٌ: (S, M, K, TA:) and this is meant in the Kur [iv. 96], where it is said, لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا ↓ وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ, (Bd, TA,) or ↓ السَّلَمَ, as some read, (Bd,) [i. e. and say not ye to him who offers to you submission, Thou art not a believer:] or ↓ السَّلَامَ here means the salutation of الإِسْلَام [by saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ]: (Bd, TA: *) or salutation, and submission by uttering the profession of الإِسْلَام; and so ↓ السَّلَمَ: (Jel:) [or the latter here means, simply, salutation; and this is app. what is meant by its being said that] السَّلَمُ is the subst. from التَّسْلِيمُ; (K;) [but accord. to SM,] this means the unreserved approval of what is decreed; and this is said to be meant by the reading السَّلَمَ mentioned above. (TA.) b3: And [hence] السِّلْمُ signifies also الإِسْلَامُ [as meaning The religion of the Muslims; because it is a religion of self-resignation, or submission]: (S, K:) this is meant in the Kur [ii. 204], where it is said, اُدْخُلُوا فِى السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً

[Enter ye into the religion of El-Islám wholly]; (S, Bd, Jel;) and so ↓ السَّلْمِ, as some there read; (Bd, Jel;) or both there mean submission and obedience to God: (Bd:) [and] ↓ السَّلَمُ [also] has the former meaning. (M.) A2: Also, (S, M, K,) and ↓ سَلْمٌ, (M,) A man, (S, K, TA,) [and] a woman, (M,) who makes peace, or is at peace, with another; (S, M, K;) and in like manner, a company of men (قَوْمٌ). (M.) This is said to be meant in the Kur [xxxix. 30], where it is said, وَرَجْلًا سِلْمًا لِرَجُلٍ, as some read, i. e. And a man who is at peace with respect to a man: (TA:) or سِلْمًا and ↓ سَلْمًا and ↓ سَلَمًا, three different readings, in the place of [the more common reading]

سَالِمًا, are all inf. ns. of سَلِمَ, used as epithets [syn. with سَالِمًا], or ذَا is suppressed before them. (Bd.) You say, أَنَا سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمَنِى [I am one who is at peace with respect to him who is at peace with me]. (S, TA.) And a poet says, [using this word in two different senses, the latter of which has been mentioned above,] لِأَهْلِكِ فَاقْبَلِى سِلْمِى أَنَائِلُ إِنَّنِى سِلْمٌ [O Náïleh, (نَائِلُ being for نَائِلَةٌ, a woman's name, apocopated,) verily I am one who is at peace with respect to thy family, therefore accept thou my submission]. (TA. [It seems to be there indicated by the context that سلمى here means my peace, or reconciliation; which is less appropriate than the meaning that I have assigned to it.]) سَلَمٌ: see سَلَامٌ: and see also سِلْمٌ, in seven places. b2: Also, in buying or selling, (Msb,) the subst. from أَسْلَمَ فِى الشَّىْءِ and سَلَّمَ signifying

أَسْلَفَ, (M,) i. q. سَلَفٌ; (S, Msb, K;) i. e. Any money, or property, paid in advance, or beforehand, as the price of a commodity for which the seller has become responsible and which one has bought on description: (T and TA in art. سلف:) or payment for a commodity to be delivered at a certain [future] period with something additional to [the equivalent of] the current price at the time of such payment; this [transaction] being a cause of profit to him who makes such payment: (TA in that art.:) or a sort of sale in which the price is paid in advance, and the commodity is withheld, on the condition of description, to a certain [future] period: (S and O in that art., in explanation of سَلَفٌ:) but it is said in a trad. that the term سَلَمٌ as meaning سَلَفٌ was disliked; app. because the former is applied to obedience, and self-resignation, or submission, to God. (TA.) A2: And The making [one] captive. (K. [See 1, in the latter part of the paragraph.]) A3: And A captive; (K;) because he submits himself. (TA.) One says, أَخَذَهُ سَلَمًا, (M, TA, [in the TK بِالسَّلَمِ,]) He took him [a captive], (TA,) or made him captive, (M,) without war: (M, TA:) or he brought him in a state of submission, not resisting; and so, if wounded: (IAar, M, TA:) and thus El-Khattábee has expl. the phrase in the trad. respecting El-Hodeybiyeh cited above, voce سِلْمٌ. (TA.) A4: Also A sort of tree, (S, M, Msb, K,) [the mimosa flava of Forskål, who writes its Arabic name in Italic characters syllæm, and in Arabic characters سليم, (Flora Aegypt. Arab., p. cxxiii.,)] a species (M) of the [kind of thorny trees called] عِضَاه, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, TA, [not غَضَاة, as in the Lexicons of Golius and Freytag,]) the leaves whereof are the قَرَظ, with which skin is tanned: (TA:) AHn says, its branches are long, like rods; and it has no wood such as is used in carpentry, even if it grows large: it has slender, long thorns, grievous when they wound the foot of a man; and a yellow [fruit such as is termed] بَرَمَة [n. un. of بَرَمٌ, see this word, and see also حُبْلَةٌ,] which is the sweetest of the بَرَم in odour; and they tan with its leaves: and it is said, on the authority of the Arabs of the desert, that it has a yellow flower, containing a green grain (حَبَّة خَضْرَآء [or this may mean a grain of a dark, or an ashy, dustcolour]), of sweet odour, in which is somewhat of bitterness, and of which the gazelles are very fond: (M:) the n. un. is with ة: (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) and pl. أَسْلَامٌ, (M,) and سِلَامٌ is said by IB to be pl. of the n. un., like as إِكَامٌ is of أَكَمَةٌ. (TA.) [Hence,] ذَاتُ أَسْلَامٍ A land (أَرْض) that gives growth to the [trees called] سَلَم. (K.) See also سلَمَان.

سَلِمٌ Stones; (S, M;) as also ↓ سِلَامٌ: (M:) and ↓ سَلِمَةٌ [as n. un. of the former and sing. of the latter, (incorrectly written by Freytag, in one place, سَلَمَةٌ, and incorrectly said by him to be of the dial. of the people of Himyer,)] signifies a stone: (S, M, Mgh, Msb:) [or] the pl. [or quasipl. n.] of سَلِمَةٌ in this sense is ↓ سَلَامٌ, like كَلَامٌ in measure: (Msb:) or ↓ سَلِمَةٌ signifies stones; (K;) or hard stones; (TA;) and ↓ سِلَامٌ is its pl.: (K:) [said to be] so called because of their freedom (سلَامَة) from softness: (TA:) or this last signifies stones, the small thereof and the large; and they assign to it no sing.: (ISh, TA:) or سلام [probably meaning ↓ سَلَامٌ] is a quasi-pl. n.: (Aboo-Kheyreh, TA:) and it is also said to be a name for any broad stone. (TA.) See also سَلَمَان. A poet says, (namely, Bujeyr Ibn-'Anameh, IB, TA,) يَرْمِى وَرَائِى بِامْسَهْكِ وَامْسَهْمِ وَامْسَلِمَهْ [He casts from behind me (i. e. defends me) with the arrow and the stone]: this [usage of ام for ال] is of the dial. of [Teiyi and] Himyer. (S, TA.) السِّلِمْ for السِّلْمْ: see سِلْمٌ, second sentence.

سَلِمَةٌ: see سَلِمٌ, in two places: and سَلَمَان.

A2: Also A woman soft, or tender, in the أَطْرَاف [or fingers, or other extremities]. (K.) b2: And An old and weak she-camel. (IAar, TA in art. سد.) سَلْمَى A certain plant (K, TA) which becomes green in the [season called] صَيْف [app. here meaning spring]. (TA.) b2: أَبُو سَلْمَى The [species of lizard called] وَزَغ: (K:) or, some say, [as is said in the M,] ↓ أَبُو سَلْمَانَ. (TA.) b3: See also the next paragraph. b4: [In the CK, by a mistranscription, a meaning belonging to سُلَامَى is assigned to سَلْمَى.]

السَّلْمَآء, accord. to Aboo-Mis-hal, as meaning The earth, occurs in the prov., أَنْفٌ قِى المَآءِ وَاسْتٌ فِى السَّلْمَآءِ [A nose in the water and a rump on the earth]: and if this be correct, it may be derived from سلام [i. e. سِلَامٌ] meaning “ stones: ” and it may be originally ↓ السَّلْمَى, and lengthened for the sake of the rhyme. (Ham p. 214.) [But the reading commonly known is, أَنْفٌ فِى السَّلْمَآءِ وَاسْتٌ فِى المَآءِ.]

هُوَ سَلْمَانُ بَيْتِهِ He is the special, or particular, friend of his [another's] house; one who mixes with him much: from the saying of the Prophet, سَلْمَانُ مِنَّا أَهْلِ البَيْتِ [Selmán is of us, the people of the house]; referring to Selmán El-Fárisee. (Har p. 472.) b2: أَبُو سَلْمَانَ: see سَلْمَى. b3: Also A species of the [black beetles called] جِعْلَان [pl. of جُعَلٌ, q. v.]: (M:) or i. q. جُعَلٌ, (IAar, K,) or أَبُو جَعْرَان, with fet-h [app. a mistake for kesr] to the ج: (Kr, TA:) or the largest of the جِعْلَان: or a certain insect like the جُعَل, having a pair of wings: (TA:) or the male of the [black beetles called] خَنَافِس [pl. of خُنْفَسَآءُ, q. v.]. (IAar, TA in art. فرض.) سَلَمَان or سَلِمَان, accord. to different readings, occurs in a trad. of Ibn-'Omar, in which it is said, كَانَ يُصَلِّى عِنْدَ سَلَمَانٍ فِى طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ [He used to pray at certain selem-trees, or certain stones, in the road of Mekkeh]: each may be a pl. [or rather a quasi-pl. n.]; the former, of ↓ سَلَمَةٌ, the “ tree so called; ” the latter, of ↓ سَلِمَةٌ, “ stones ” [or a “ stone: ” but both of these explanations are strange]. (TA.) سَلَامٌ, (S, K, TA,) in its primary acceptation, (TA,) is syn. with ↓ سَلَامَةٌ, (S, K, TA,) as is also ↓ سَلَمٌ, (S, [so in one of my copies, but omitted in the other copy,]) and signifies Safety, security, immunity, or freedom, from faults, defects, imperfections, blemishes, or vices, (S, * [mentioned in one only of my two copies, and there as relating peculiarly to the third word,] K, [in which it ostensibly relates peculiarly to the first word, but in the CK, by the omission of a و before it, it is made to relate only to the second word,] and TA, [accord. to which it relates to the first and second words, as it is well known to do,]) and from evils of any kind: (TA:) or [simply] safety, security, immunity, or freedom; as also ↓ سَلَامَةٌ: (Sb, M:) IKt says that these two words may be dial. vars. [syn. each with the other]; or the former may be pl. of the latter [or rather a coll. gen. n. of which the latter is the n. un.]: (M, TA:) and Suh says, in the R, that most of the lexicologists hold them to have one [and the same] meaning: but that if they considered the language of the Arabs, and the distinction, or limitation, denoted by the ة, they would see that between them is a great difference [inasmuch as the former has a large range of meaning which the latter has not, as will be seen from what follows]. (TA.) سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ is an announcement of the continuance of سَلَامَة [or safety, &c.]: (Bd in xiii. 24:) [it may therefore be rendered Safety, &c., be, or light and abide, on you; or, generally, peace be, or light and abide, on you; for] it means nothing disliked, or evil, shall befall you henceforth: (Bd in xvi. 34:) and سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ [may be rendered in like manner; for it virtually] means I will not do to thee anything that is disliked, or evil; (Bd and Jel in xix. 48;) nor say to thee henceforward what would annoy thee, or be disagreeable, or evil, to thee. (Bd ibid.) It may also be [rendered May safety, &c., or peace, be, or light and abide, on you; as] a prayer for سَلَامَة, to those to whom it is addressed, from the state in which they are at the time. (Bd in xxviii. 55.) [It is generally held that this salutation may not be used by, nor to, any but a Muslim.] In the beginning of an epistle, the approved practice is to write سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ, without the article ال; and in repeating it, at the end, to write it with that article. (Durrat el-Ghowwás, in De Sacy's Anthol. Gramm. Arabe, p. 72 of the Arabic text. [In the latter case, the general practice in the present day is to write simply وَالسَّلَام, suppressing عَلَيْكَ.]) In saluting the dead, one puts عَلَيْكَ first, saying, عَلَيْكَ سَلَامُ اللّٰهِ. (Ham p. 367.) You also say, مَا كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ↓ لَا بِسَلَامَتِكَ [No, by thy safety, such and such things were not]. (S.) السُّلَامُ is also a name of God, (S, M, Msb, K,) [applied to Him in the Kur lix. 23, accord. to some for ذُو السَّلَامِ, i. e. ذُو السَّلَامَةِ,] because of his safety, or freedom, from defect, and imperfection, and cessation of existence; (IKt, M, TA;) or from variations, and as being the everlasting, who brings the creation to nought and will not come to nought; or, accord. to Suh in the R, He is so named [as being the Author of Safety, Security, &c.; i. e.] because He has rendered all his creatures safe, or free, from defectiveness, or unsoundness, and mankind and the jinn, or genii, from the betiding of injustice, or wrong, to them, from Him; and the expositors who assert that He is thus named because of his safety, or freedom, from imperfections, and evils of any kind, utter an unseemly saying, making سَلَامٌ to be syn. with ↓ سَالِمٌ, which latter applies only to him who is liable to evil of any kind, and who expects it, and then becomes safe, or free, from it. (TA.) دَارُ السَّلَامِ is an appellation of Paradise, (M, K,) [applied thereto in the Kur vi. 127 and x. 26,] as being the abode of everlasting safety, or security; (Zj, M, TA;) the abode of safety, or security, from evils of any kind, from death and decrepitude and diseases [&c.]: (TA:) or as being the abode of God. (M, TA.) b2: See also سِلْمٌ, in four places. b3: [As is there stated,] it signifies also Salutation, or greeting; (M, TA;) particularly the salutation of الإِسْلَام [by saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ or سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ, expl. above]; (Bd in iv. 96;) a subst. (S, Mgh, Msb, TA) from سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ, (Msb,) [i. e.] from التُّسْلِيمُ, (S, Mgh, TA,) like كَلَامٌ from التَّكْلِيمُ. (Mgh. [See 2, third sentence.]) b4: In the saying in the Kur [xxv. 64], وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ الْجَاهِلُونَ قَالُوا سَلَامًا [And when the ignorant speak to them, they say, سَلَامًا], this last word signifies تَسَلُّمًا, (Sb, M,) or تَسَلُّمًا مِنْكُمْ [ for نَتَسَلَّمُ مِنْكُمْ تَسَلُّمًا We declare ourselves to be clear, or quit, of you], and مُتَارَكَهً لَلُمْ [ for نُتَارِكُكُمْ مُتَارَكَةً we relinquish you], (Bd,) [and means] there shall be neither good nor evil between us (Sb, M, Bd) and you: it is not the سلام that is used in salutation; for the verse was revealed at Mekkeh, and the Muslims had not then been commanded to salute the believers in a plurality of gods: (Sb, M:) [in iv. 88 of the Kur, which was promulgated afterwards, at ElMedeeneh, is a general command to return a salutation with a better or with the same; but the Sunneh prescribes that the salutation of سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ or سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ when addressed to a Muslim by one not a Muslim is to be returned only by saying وَعَلَيْكَ or وَعَلَيْكُمْ:] or the meaning in xxv. 64 is, they say a right saying, in which they are secure from harming and sinning. (Bd.) Sb asserts that Aboo-Rabee'ah used to say, إِذَا لَقِيتَ فُلَانًا فَقُلْ سَلَامًا, meaning تَسَلُّمًا [for أَتَسَلَّمُ مِنْكَ تَسَلُّمًا, i. e. When thou meetest such a one, say, I declare myself to be clear, or quit, of thee]: and he says that some of them said سَلَامٌ, meaning The case of me and thee is the [case of] being clear, or quit, each of the other; and the [case of] mutual relinquishing. (M.) [It is usual, in the present day, to say, اِفْعَلْ كَذَا وَالسَّلَام, meaning Do thou such a thing, and there will be an end of altercation between us.]

A2: See also سَلِيمٌ.

A3: Also A kind of trees; (S, M, Msb, K;) they assert that they are evergreen; nothing eats them; but the gazelles keep to them, and protect themselves by their shade, but do not hide among them; and they are not great trees, nor of the kind called عِضَاه: (AHn, M:) they are also called ↓ سِلَامٌ; (K;) or this is pl. of سَلَمَةٌ [n. un. of سَلَمٌ], which is of another kind; like as إِكَامٌ is pl. of أَكَمَةٌ: (IB, TA:) n. un. with ة. (S, M.) السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ was said to an Arab of the desert; and he replied, الجَثْجَاثُ عَلَيْكَ: and being asked, “ What is this reply? ” he answered, “They are two bitter trees: thou hast put upon me one, so I have put upon thee the other. ” (K.) A4: See also سَلِمٌ, in two places.

سِلَامٌ: see سَلِمٌ, in two places: A2: and the paragraph here next preceding, last sentence but two.

سَلِيمٌ i. q. ↓ سَالِمٌ, (S, M, K,) which means Safe, secure, or free, (Msb,) from evils of any kind; (K, Msb, TA;) applied to a man: (M:) pl. سُلَمَآءُ; (M, K, TA;) in some copies of the K سَلْمَى, like جَرْحَى pl. of جَرِيحٌ; (TA;) [but this is probably its pl. only when it is used in the sense of جَرِيحٌ or the like, as seems to be the case from what follows.] Also, (M,) applied to a heart: (S, M:) بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ, in the Kur xxvi. 89, means With a heart free from unbelief: (M, TA:) or, divested of corruptness, or unsoundness: (Er-Rághib, TA:) in the Kur xxxvii. 82, some say that it means with a grieving, or sorrowful, heart; from سَلِيمٌ in the sense here next following. (Bd.) b2: Also i. q. لَدِيغٌ [meaning Bitten by a serpent]; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ سَلَامٌ (S, K) and ↓ مَسْلُومٌ: (K:) app., (S,) as implying a good omen, of safety; (S, M;) or because the person is left (مُسْلَمٌ) to that [bane] which is in him: (IAar, S, * M:) and sometimes it is metaphorically used as meaning (tropical:) wounded: (M:) or it means wounded, at the point of death, (M, K,) as some say: (M:) pl. سَلْمَى. (M, and Ham p. 214.) A2: Also, (M, K,) of a horse, (M,) The part, of the hoof, that is between the أَشْعَر [or hair, or extremity of the skin, next the hoof], (M, TA,) or that is between the أَمْعَر [q. v.], (K,) but the former is the right, (TA,) and the interior of the hoof. (M, K, TA.) سَلَامَةٌ [the most usual inf. n. of سَلِمَ]: see سَلَامٌ, in three places.

A2: Also n. un. of سَلَامٌ applied to a kind of trees [described above]. (S, K.) سُلَامَى, a noun of the fem. gender, (Msb,) A certain bone that is in the فِرْسِن [q. v., here meaning foot] of the camel: (S, K:) this is said by A'Obeyd to be the primary signification: (S:) or the سُلَامَى of the camel are the bones of the فُرْسِن [or foot]: (M:) [for] سُلَامَى is used alike as sing. and pl., and sometimes it has also a pl., (S,) which is سُلَامَيَاتٌ: (S, M, K:) or it is a pl. [or rather a coll. gen. n.], of which the sing. [or n. un.] is سُلَامَيَةٌ, signifying the أَنْمَلَة [q. v.] of [any of] the fingers: (IAth, TA:) [but this is a strange explanation:] it is said that the last parts in which مُخّ [here meaning marrow or pulp and the like] remains in a camel when he has become emaciated are the سُلَامَى and eye; and when it has gone from these, he has none remaining: (S:) the pl. سُلَامَيَاتٌ, (S, TA,) or سُلَامَى, (M, Msb,) also signifies the bones of the أَصَابِع, (S, M,) so says Kh, and Zj adds that they are also called the قَصَب, (Msb,) of the hand and of the foot; (M;) [i. e., of the fingers and of the toes; and this seems to be the most common meaning, in relation to a human being; namely, the phalanges of the fingers and of the toes;] that are between every two joints [and what are beyond the extreme joints] of the أَصَابِع: accord. to Lth, the سلامى are the bones of the أَصَابِع [or fingers and toes] and the أَشَاجِع and the أَكَارِع, and are hard and compact bones like كِعَاب [pl. of كَعْبٌ]: (TA: [see the words that I have here left untranslated, for the senses in which they are here used are doubtful:]) accord. to IAar, (M,) certain small bones, of the length of the إِصْبَع [or finger], (M, K,) or nearly so, (M,) or less, (K,) of which there are four, or three, (M,) [or app., five, for the meaning here seems to be the metacarpal and metatarsal bones, to which the terms سُلَامَى and سُلَامَيَاتٌ are sometimes applied, (see أَشْجَعُ and مُشْظٌ,)] in the hand and in the foot, (K,) [i. e.] in each hand and foot: (M:) Ktr says that the سلاميات are the عُرُوق [app. a mistake for عِظَام i. e. bones] of the outer side of the hand and foot: (Msb:) سلامى is also said to signify any small hollow bone: and any bone of a human being: and ISh says that in every horse are six سلاميات [app. in the fore legs and the same in the hind legs; for he seems to mean that the term سلامى is applied to each of the pasternbones and to the coffin-bone; these three corresponding to the phalanges of a human being: see فَصٌّ]: (TA:) it is not allowable to write سلامى otherwise than with what is termed the short alif. (MF, TA.) A2: سُلَامَى, (M, K,) like سُكَّارَى, (K, TA, [in the CK like سَكْرٰى, which is shown to be wrong by a verse cited in the M and TA,]) signifies also The [south, or southerly, wind called] جَنُوب. (M, K.) سَلَامَانٌ A kind of tree, (S, M, K,) growing in soft, or plain, tracts: (M:) Az says, it is like the أَلَآء, which is a tree resembling the myrtle, which changes not in the midst of summer, and which has a produce resembling the head [or ear] of millet (ذُرَة), except that it is smaller than the الآء; tooth-sticks (مَسَاوِيك) are made from it; and its produce is like that of the الآء; and it grows in the sands and the deserts: (TA in art. الأ:) n. un. with ة. (M.) نَمْلُ سُلَيْمَانُ Red ants [lit. the ants of Solomon]. (TA voce أَحْوَى, in art. حو.) سُلَّمٌ A ladder, or a series of stairs or steps, syn. مِرْقَاةٌ, (M, K,) and دَرَجَةٌ, (M,) or مِعْرَاجٌ, (Msb,) upon which one ascends; (S, Mgh;) either of wood or of clay [&c.]: (Mgh:) said by Zj to be so called because it delivers thee (يُسَلِّمُكَ) to the place to which thou desirest to go, (Mgh, TA,) i. e., to some high place, and thou hopest for safety (السَّلَامَة) by means of it: (Er-Rághib, TA:) masc. and fem.; (Lth, M, Mgh;) [app., accord. to Lth and F, generally fem.; for] accord. to Lth, one says, هِىَ السُّلَّمُ and هُوَ السُّلَّمُ; (Mgh;) [and F says,] it is sometimes made masc.: (K:) pl. سَلَالِيمُ (S, Mgh, K) and سَلَالِمُ, (K,) [which latter is the original, for] the ى in سَلَالِيمُ is added by poetic license. (M, TA.) [Hence,] السُّلَّمُ (assumed tropical:) Certain stars, below [those called] العَانَةُ, on the right of them; (K;) as being likened to the سُلَّم [above-mentioned]. (TA.) b2: And The غَرْز [or stirrup of the camel's saddle] (S, K) is sometimes thus called [as being a means of mounting]. (S.) b3: And (tropical:) A means to a thing; (K, TA;) because it leads to another thing like as does the سُلَّم upon which one ascends. (TA.) b4: And السُّلَّمُ is the name of The horse of Zebbán (in the CK Zeiyán) Ibn-Seiyár. (K.) سَالِمٌ: see سَلِيمٌ; and see سَلَامٌ, near the middle of the paragraph. [See also an ex. voce شَاجِبٌ.]

b2: [Hence,] كَلِمَةٌ سَالِمَةُ العَيْنَيْنِ (tropical:) A good word or expression or sentence. (TA.) A2: The saying of J [in the S], (K,) in which he has followed his maternal uncle El-Fárábee, (TA,) that it signifies The portion of skin between the eye and the nose, is a mistake; (IB, K;) and his citation, as an authority, of the verse of 'AbdAllah Ibn-'Omar (K) in which he says, وَجِلْدَةُ بَيْنَ العَيْنِ وَالأَنْفِ سَالِمُ (TA,) is futile: (K:) for, as IB says, Sálim was the son of Ibn-'Omar, who, by reason of his love of him, thus makes him to be as the skin between his eyes and his nose: or, as MF says, the truth is, that the said verse is by Zuheyr, and Ibn-'Omar used it as a proverb: and [SM says], if this be correct, it strengthens the saying of J. (TA.) أَسْلَمُ [More, and most, safe or secure or free from evils of any kind]. You say, هٰذَا أَسْلَمُ مِنْ هٰذَا [This is more safe &c. than this]: and هٰذَا الأَسْلَمُ [This is the most safe &c.]; and هٰذِهِ السُّلْمَى. (Ham p. 214.) A2: And الاسلم [app. الأَسْلَمُ] signifies, like الطفى [i. e. الطَّفْىُ]; The leaves (خُوص) of the دَوْم [or Theban palm]. (Ibn-Beytár, app. from AHn, cited by De Sacy in his Chrest. Arabe, 2nd ed., iii. 480.) الإِسْلَامُ [inf. n. of 4, q. v. b2: It is the general term for The religion of Mohammad: differing from الإِيمَانُ, as shown above: see 4. b3: and hence, for أَهْلُ الإِسْلَامِ, or the like,] The Muslims, collectively. (M in art. بيض, &c.) إِسْلَامِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, الأِسْلَام as meaning the religion of Mohammad. b2: And particularly] A poet of the class next after the مُخَضْرَمُون and next before the مُوَلَّدُون.

(M.) b2: [It commonly means One who holds, or professes, the religion of الإِسْلَام.] And one says, ↓ كَأَنَ كَافِرًا ثُمَّ هُوَاليَوْمَ مُسْلَمَةٌ [He was an unbeliever: then, to day, he has become a Muslim]. (M.) مَسْلَمَةٌ: see what next precedes.

المُسَلَّم is said to be used in the sense of ↓ المُسْتَلَم in the saying of El-'Ajjáj, بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالكَعْبَةِ المُسَلَّممِ [Between Es-Safà and the Kaabeh of which the Black Stone is touched with the hand, or kissed: see 8].

1 سَكَنَ, (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (L,) inf. n. سُكُونٌ, (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) said of a thing, (S, L,) of a thing that moves, (Mgh, Msb,) It was, or became, still, motionless, stationary, in a state of rest, quiet, calm, or unruffled, (هَدَأَ, Abu-l-'Abbás, L, or قَرَّ, K,) after motion; (Abu-l-'Abbás, L;) its motion [ceased, or] went away; (L, Msb;) and in like manner said of a man, and of a beast: (Abu-l-'Abbás, L:) and said of anything such as wind and heat and cold and the like; of rain; [and of pain;] and of anger; [&c.;] it was, or became, still, calm, tranquillized, appeased, allayed, assuaged, or quelled; [it died away, passed away, or ceased to be: and it remitted, or subsided; became alleviated, light, slight, or gentle:] and said of a man [or beast or the like, and of a voice or sound], he [or it] was, or became, still, or silent. (L.) [Hence,] one says, سَكَنَ الدَّمْعُ, and الدَّمُ, meaning رَقَأَ [The tears, and the blood, stopped, or ceased to flow]. (S and Mgh in art. رقاٌ.) [And one says of heat, and cold, and pain, &c., سَكَنَ عَنْهُ It passed away from him; quitted him. And سَكَنَتِ النَّارُ The fire became extinguished; or became allayed or assuaged; subsided; or ceased to flame or blaze or burn fiercely,] b2: [Hence also, It (a letter) was or became, quiescent; i. e., without a vowel immediately following it; contr. of تَحَرَّكَ.] b3: And سَكَنَ إِلَيْهِ, (Msb, [where the aor. is said to be سَكِنَ, but this is either a mistake or rare, for the aor. accord. to common usage is سَكُنَ, as in the Kur vii.] 189 and xxx. 20,]) inf. n. سُكُونٌ (Mgh, Msb) and سَكَنٌ, (Msb,) He trusted to it, or relied upon it, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; i. q. رَكَنَ إِلَيْهِ; (S and K &c. in art. ركن;) and اِطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهِ; (TA in art. طمن;) [and اِعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِ; and وَثِقَ بِهِ; &c.; and he inclined to it; syn. مَالَ إِلَيْهِ; and became familiar with it; syn. اِسُتَأْنَسَ بِهِ, and أَلِفَ; agreeably with explanations here following;] namely, a thing: (Msb:) and سَكَنَ إِلَيْهَا, aor. ـُ he trusted to her, or relied upon her, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; &c., as above; syn. اِطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهَا; (Ksh and Bd in vii. 189, and Ksh in xxx. 20;) and مَالَ إِلَيْهَا; (Ksh in vii. 189, and the same and Bd in xxx. 20;) and اِسْتَأْنَسَ بِهَا, and أَلِفَ; (Bd in the same two places;) namely, his wife. (Ksh and Bd.) b4: And سَكَنَ الَّدارَ, (S, MA, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) and فِى الدَّارِ, (Mgh, Msb,) and بِالمَكَانِ, (L,) aor. ـُ (L, Msb, JM,) inf. n. سُكْنَى (MA, Mgh, L, JM) and سُكُونٌ (MA, L) and سُكْنٌ, (MA,) or ↓ سُكْنَى is a simple subst., and the inf. n. is سكن, (Msb, [accord. to which the latter is app. سَكَنٌ, for it is there said that the verb in this case is like طَلَبَ, the unaugmented inf. n. of which is طَلَبٌ, but this inf. n. سَكَنُ I have not found elsewhere, and what is generally used as the inf. n. or quasi-inf. n. of the verb in this case is ↓ سُكْنَى,]) or ↓ سُكْنَى is a subst. in the sense of إِسْكَانٌ, as expl. below, (Mgh,) [or rather it is also a subst. in this sense,] He inhabited, or dwelt or abode in, the house [and the place]. (MA, Mgh.) وَلَهُ مَا سَكَنَ فِى اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ, in the Kur [vi. 13], is from السُّكْنَى (Ksh, Bd) or from السُّكُونُ: (Bd:) if from the former, (Ksh, Bd,) it signifies To Him belongeth what taketh up its abode in the night and the day; (IAar, Ksh, * Bd, * L, Jel;) meaning, what the night and the day include within their limits: (Ksh, * Bd:) or, if from السُّكُونُ, (Bd,) what is still, or motionless, (Abu-l-'Abbás, Bd, L,) and what moves; one of the two contraries being mentioned as sufficient [to show what is intended] without the other; (Bd;) app. meaning the creation, collectively, or all created beings. (Abu-l-'Abbás, L.) b5: And سَكَنَ, (L, K,) aor. ـُ (K,) He became such as is termed مِسْكِين [q. v.]; (L, K;) as also سَكُنَ, (K,) and ↓ اسكن, and ↓ تسكّن, and ↓ تَمَسْكَنَ: (L, K:) and [thus it means particularly] he was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive; and low, abject, abased, and weak; as also ↓ اسكن, (L,) and ↓ تسكّن, and ↓ تَمَسْكَنَ; (S, * L;) the former of these being the regular form, (S, L,) and the more common and more chaste; (L;) the latter of them anomalous, [from المِسْكِينُ,] like تَمَنْدَلَ from المِنْدِيلُ, and تَمَدْرَعَ from المِدْرَعَةُ; (S, L;) and ↓ استكن, (L, Msb,) and ↓ اِسْتَكَانَ, of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ (L, Msb, K) from المَسْكَنَةُ (L, K) or from السُّكُونُ, (Msb,) with ا added, (L, Msb,) the vowel of the medial radical letter being thus rendered full in sound, (L, Msb, K,) or it is of the measure اِسْتَفْعَلَ from الكِينَةُ, signifying “ evil state or condition,” (Msb,) or from الكَيْنُ signifying “ the [piece of] flesh in the interior of the vulva,” because he who is lowly and abject is the most obscure of mankind. (L. [See also arts.

كون and كين.]) 2 سكّنهُ, (S, L, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَسْكِينٌ, (S, L, K,) He, or it, caused it to be, or become, still, motionless, stationary, in a state of rest, quiet, calm, or unruffled; (S, * L, Msb, K;) namely, a thing: (S, L, Msb:) [and caused it, namely, anything such as wind, and heat, and cold, and the like, as rain, and pain, and anger, to be, or become, still, or calm; stilled, calmed, tranquillized, appeased, allayed, assuaged, or quelled, it; caused it to die away, pass away, or cease to be: and caused it to remit, or subside; to become alleviated, light, slight, or gentle: and caused him, and it, namely, a man or beast or the like, and a voice or sound, to become still, or silent: (see 1, first sentence:)] and ↓ اسكنهُ signifies the same. (L.) [Hence,] one says of God, سكّن دَمْعَهُ, meaning أَرْقَأَهُ [He caused his tears to stop, or cease flowing]. (S and TA in art. رقأ.) b2: [and hence, He made it (a letter) quiescent; i. e., made it to be without a vowel immediately following it; contr. of حَرَّكَهُ.]

A2: تَسْكِينٌ also signifies The straightening a cane, or spear, (صَعْدَة,) with fire [which is termed السَّكَن]. (IAar, L, K.) A3: and The constantly riding a light and swift ass which is termed سُكَيْن. (IAar, L, K.) 3 ساكنهُ, inf. n. مُسَاكَنَةٌ, i. q. جَاوَرَهُ [meaning He lived in his neighbourhood, or near to him]. (TA in art. جور.) 4 اسكن: see 1, near the end, in two places.

A2: اسكنهُ: see 2, first sentence. b2: [Hence,] said of poverty, It made him to be little, or seldom, in motion. (Aboo-Is-hák, L, K.) b3: And, said of God, He made him to be such as is termed مِسْكِين [q. v.]. (L, K.) b4: And اسكنهُ الدَّارَ, (S, L, Msb, K,) or المَنْزِلَ, (MA,) He made him [or gave him] to inhabit the house, or abode; (S, * MA, L, * Msb, * K; *) he lodged him therein. (MA.) 5 تسكّن, said of a man, is from السَّكِينَةُ [i. e. He had, or possessed, or affected, the quality thus termed; meaning he was, or became, or affected to be, calm, tranquil, grave, staid, steady, or sedate; &c.]. (L.) See also Q. Q. 2, below: and see 1, above, near the end, in two places.8 استكن, and its var. or syn. اِسْتَكَانَ: see 1, near the end. Q. Q. 2 تَمَسْكَنَ He affected to be like, or he imitated, such as are termed مَسَاكِين [pl. of مِسْكِينٌ, q. v.]. (IAth, L.) b2: See also 1, near the end, in two places. You say, تَمَسْكَنَ لِرَبِهِ He humbled, or abased, himself to his Lord; or addressed himself with earnest, or energetic, supplication to Him: and ↓ تسكّن is like تَمَسْكَنَ. (Lh, L.) سَكْنٌ, a quasi-pl. n. of ↓ سَاكِنٌ, like as شَرْبٌ is of شَارِبٌ, called by Akh a pl., (L,) The inhabitants, people, or family, of a house or tent; (S, L, K;) a household. (L.) b2: And The collective body of the people of a tribe: one says, تَحَمَّلَ السَّكْنُ فَذَهَبُوا [The collective body of the people of the tribe bound the loads, or burdens, upon their beasts, and went away]. (Lh, L.) b3: See also سَكَنٌ. b4: And see the paragraph here next following.

سُكْنٌ: see سُكْنَى. b2: And see also مَسْكَنٌ, in three places. b3: Also, (L, JM, [thus written in both, and expressly said in the latter to be “ with damm,”]) or ↓ سَكَنٌ, (thus in copies of the K,) or ↓ سَكْنٌ, (thus in the CK,) [but the first is app. the right,] Food, aliment, or victuals, syn. قُوتٌ; (L, K, JM;) like نُزْلٌ meaning “ food (طَعَام, L, JM) of a party alighting to partake of it,” and said to be called سُكْنٌ because by means of it a place is inhabited, like as the نُزْل of an army means the “ appointed rations of an army alighting at a place. ” (L.) سَكَنٌ A thing, (S, L, Msb, K,) of any kind, (S, L,) to which one trusts, or upon which one relies, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; (S, L, Msb, K;) and in like manner, a person, or persons, to whom one trusts, &c.: applied in this sense to a family, or wife, (L, Msb,) as well as to property, (Msb,) &c.: (L, Msb:) and hence [particularly] signifying a wife. (L.) One says, [app. using it in this sense, as seems to be indicated by the context in the S,] فُلَانٌ أْبْنُ السَّكَنِ [Such a one is the son of the سَكَن]; and As used to say ↓ السَّكْنِ: (S, L:) accord. to Ibn-Habeeb, one says سَكَن and سَكْن. (L.) And it is said in the Kur [vi. 96], جَعَلَ

أْللَّيْلَ سَكَنًا He hath made, or appointed, the night to be a resource for ease, or quiet. (L.) And in the same [ix. 104], إِنَّ صَلَوَاتِكَ سَكَنٌ لَهُمْ, i. e. [Verily thy prayers for forgiveness are] a cause of ease, or quiet, to them. (Zj, L.) [And ↓ سُكْنَةٌ seems to have a similar meaning: for] ISh says, تَغْطِيَةُ الوَجْهِ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ سُكْنَةٌ, app. [The covering of the face on the occasion of sleep is a cause of ease, or quiet,] in the case of loneliness, or of fear arising therefrom. (L.) And it is said in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا فِى أَرْضِنا سَكَنَهَا, meaning O God, send down upon us, in our land, the succour, or relief, of its inhabitants, [app. alluding to rain,] to which they may trust so as to be easy, or quiet, in mind.

See the latter word, in three places. b3: And Fire; [app. first applied thereto as being a cause of ease, or comfort;] (S, L, K;) as in the saying [of a rájiz], وَسَكَنٍ تُوقَدُ فِىمِظَلَّهْ [And a fire kindled in a large tent of hair-cloth, or in a booth, or shed], (S, L,) describing himself as driven to have recourse thereto by the night, and by a moist wind, or a wind cold with moisture; and [afterwards used without any allusion to its being a cause of ease, or comfort,] as in the saying of another, describing a cane, أَقَامَهَا بِسَكَنٍ وَأَدْهَانْ meaning He straightened it with fire and oils. (L.) b4: And Mercy, pity, or compassion. (K, [See also سَكِينَةٌ.]) b5: And i. q. بَرَكَةٌ [A blessing; prosperity, or good fortune; increase; &c.]. (K.) A2: See also سُكْنٌ:

سَكِنَةٌ A place; [properly] a place of habitation or abode: pl. سَكِنَاتٌ. (L.) It is said in a trad., اِسْتَقِرُّوا عَلَى سَكِنَاتِكُمْ فَقَدِ انْقَطَعَتِ الهِجْرَةُ, (S, L, K, *) i. e. Rest ye, or remain ye, at your places, (S, L,) or in your places of habitation or abode, (S, L, K,) for emigration has [ended, having] become no longer needful. (L.) And one says, النَّاسُ عَلَى سَكِنَاتِهِمْ, [virtually] meaning, accord. to Fr, The people are in their right state: (S, L:) and in like manner is expl. the saying, تَرَكْتُهُمْ عَلَى سَكِنَاتِهِمْ and ↓ سَكَنَاتِهِمْ and نَزَلَاتِهِمْ; but the approved explanation is, [I left them] at their places of habitation, which is that of Th; or, as in the M, their places of alighting, or abode. (L.) b2: Also The part, of the neck, which is the resting-place of the head. (S, L, K.) So in the saying, (S, L,) attributed to several poets, (L,) بِضَرْبِ يُزِيلُ الهَامَ عَنْ سَكِنَاتِهِ [With a smiting that removes the heads from their resting-places on the necks]. (S, L.) سُكْنَى is an inf. n. of سَكَنَ in the phrase سَكَنَ الدَّارَ: (MA, Mgh, L, JM:) or a simple subst. therefrom: (Msb:) or a subst. in the sense of إِسْكَانٌ, like رُقْبَى in the sense of إِرْقَابٌ: (Mgh:) see 1, in three places: or it is a subst. (S, L, K) also (L) from أَسْكَنَهُ الدَّارَ, (S, L, K,) like as عُتْبَى is from إِعْتَابٌ, (S, L,) and so is ↓ سَكَنٌ, (Lh, L, K,) [which is app. mentioned in the Msb as an inf. n. of the former verb,] signifying, as also ↓ سُكْنٌ, [so in one place, as on the authority of Lth, in the L, and said in the MA to be, like سُكْنَى, an inf. n. of the verb first mentioned above,] The making [or giving] a man a place, or an abode, to inhabit, without rent; (L, and Ham p. 400 in explanation of the first of these words;) the term سُكْنَى being similar to عُمْرَى. (L.) b2: See also مَسْكَنٌ, in five places.

سُكَيْنٌ An ass light, or active, and quick, or swift: and سُكَيْنَةٌ is applied to a she-ass (L, K) in the same sense. (L.) b2: Hence the latter is used as a name for (assumed tropical:) A girl, or young woman, or a female slave, that is of a light, or an active, spirit. (L.) b3: The former also signifies A wild ass. (L.) b4: And السُّكَيْنَةُ is the name of The gnat that entered into the nose of Numrood [or Nimrod]. (L, K.) سَكِينَةٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and ↓ سِكِّينَةٌ (Ks, L, K) and ↓ سَكِّينَةٌ, (L, Msb,) mentioned in the “ Nawádir,” (Msb,) on the authority of Az, (L,) but of a measure of which there is no [other] known instance, (L, Msb,) Calmness, or tranquillity; (S, L, Msb, K;) gravity, staidness, steadiness, or sedateness; (S, L, Msb;) and a quality inspiring reverence or veneration: (Msb:) and, as some say, mercy, pity, or compassion: [see also سَكَنٌ:] and aid or assistance; or victory or conquest: and a thing whereby a man is calmed, or tranquillized: (L:) pl. of the first word سَكَائِنُ. (Har p. 62.) One says of a man who is calm or tranquil, or grave &c., عَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ [Upon him is resting, or abiding, calmness &c.]. (L.) And it is said in a trad., respecting the Prophet, on the occasion of the coming down of revelation, فَغَشِيَتْهُ السَّكِينَةُ, meaning And calmness, or tranquillity, and غَيْبَة [i. e., as here used, absence of mind from self and others by its being exclusively occupied by the contemplation of divine things], came upon him. (L.) And in the Kur [ii. 249], it is said, [with reference to the coming of the ark of the covenant,] فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ, meaning [In which shall be] a cause of your becoming tranquil, [or easy in your minds,] when it cometh to you [from your Lord]: (Zj, L, K:) or, as some say, there was in it a head like that of the cat; when it uttered a cry, victory betided the Children of Israel: (L:) or a thing having a head like that of the cat [and a tail like that of the cat (Bd)], of chrysolite and sapphire, and a pair of wings: (L, K:) or an image like the cat, that was with them among their forces, on the appearance of which their enemies were routed: or an animal having a face like that of a human being, compact [in substance], the rest thereof being unsubstantial like the wind and the air: or the images of the Prophets, from Adam to Mohammad: (Bd:) or the signs, or miracles, with the performance of which Moses was endowed, and to which they trusted so as to be easy, or quiet, in their minds: (L:) or by the تَابُوت to which these words refer is meant the heart, [or rather the chest, i. e. bosom,] and the سكينة is the knowledge, and purity, or sincerity, in the heart [or bosom]. (Bd.) In a trad. of' Alee, respecting the building. of the Kaabeh, it is said, فَأَرْسَلَ اللّٰه إِلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةَ, meaning [And God sent to him] the wind swift in its passage. (L.) سُكَيْنَةٌ fem. of سُكَيْنٌ [q. v.]. (L, K. *) الطُّرَّةُ السُّكَيْنِيَّةُ [The hair over the forehead (of a girl or woman) that is cut with a straight, or even, edge, or with two such edges one above the other, so as to form a kind of border, after the fashion of Sukeyneh,] is so called in relation to Sukeyneh the daughter of El-Hoseyn. (S, L, K.) سَكَّانٌ A maker of سَكَاكِين [or knives], (ISd, L, K, *) pl. of سِكِينٌ; (ISd, L;) as also ↓ سَكَاكِينِىٌّ, (ISd, L, K,) which latter is held by ISd to be post-classical, being formed from the pl., whereas by rule it should be formed from the sing. (L.) سُكَّانٌ The ذَنَب, (Lth, S, MA, Mgh, L,) [i. e.] the rudder, (MA, KL, PS,) of a ship or boat, (Lth, S, MA, Mgh, L,) by means of which it is rightly directed, (Lth, Mgh, * L,) and made still, or steady; (Mgh, L;) its خَدْف; (AA, L;) i. q. خَيْزُرَانٌ and كَوْثَلٌ [meaning the same, or its tiller]: (A 'Obeyd, L:) it is an Arabic word. (L.) Hence the saying of Tarafeh, (L,) likening to it the elevated neck of a she-camel, as being long, and quick in motion, (EM p. 73,) [and thus app. applying it to the upper and narrow part of a rudder,] كَسُكَّانِ بُوصِىٍ بِدِجْلَةَ مُصْعِدِ (L, EM,) i. e. Like the سُكَّان of a vessel of the sort called بُوصِىّ [ascending the Tigris]. (EM.) A2: Also pl. of سَاكِنٌ [q. v.]. (L, Msb.) سِكِّينٌ a word of well-known meaning; (S, Msb, K;) i. e. A knife; (MA, PS;) i. q. مُدْيَةٌ; (L;) as also ↓ سِكِّينَةٌ, (ISd, L, K,) a dial. var., (ISd, L,) occurring in a trad., but the former is that which is commonly known: (L:) so called because it stills the animals slaughtered with it: (Az, L, Msb:) of the measure فِعِّيلٌ: (IDrd, L, Msb:) or, accord. to some, its ن is augmentative, so that it is of the measure فِعْلِينٌ: (Msb:) it is masc., and sometimes fem.: (Zj, IAmb, * L, Msb, K: *) not heard as fem. by IAar: (L:) held to be only masc. by Az and As and some others: (Msb:) but sometimes it occurs in poetry as fem. on the ground of meaning [as being syn. with مُدْيَةٌ or شَفْرَهٌ], (Msb,) and as such it occurs in a trad.: (L:) the pl. is سَكَاكِينُ.

مَسْكَنٌ and مَسْكِنٌ; (S, L, Msb, K;) the people of El-Hijáz say the former, (S, L,) and the latter is anomalous; (L;) [A place of habitation;] a place of alighting, abiding, sojourning, or lodging; an abode, or a dwelling; (S, L, K;) a house, or a tent; (S, L, Msb;) pl. مَسَاكِنُ: (Msb:) and ↓ سَكَنُ signifies the same as مَسْكِنٌ, [thus in the Kur xvi. 82,] (Lh, L, and Ham p. 400,) as also ↓ سُكْنَى, (Lh, L,) and ↓ سُكْنٌ: you say, دَارٌ فِيهَا

↓ سَكَنٌ and ↓ سُكْنٌ, i. e. ↓ سُكْنَى [or مَسْكَنٌ, meaning A house in which is a place of habitation, or a lodging]: (L: [↓ سَكَنٌ and ↓ سُكْنٌ are there mentioned as syn., each of them, with مَسْكَنٌ and سُكْنَى, but in different places; and I incline to think that سُكْنٌ thus mentioned may be a mistranscription for سَكَنٌ: I have not found it elsewhere in this sense:]) and ↓ دَارِى لَكَ سُكْنَى, in which the last word is [said to be] virtually in the accus. case, as a denotative of state, meaning [My house is for thee,] as made [or given] to be inhabited, or as being inhabited: (Mgh:) or ↓ لَكَ دَارِى هٰذِهِ سُكْنَى, meaning To thee this my house is a lent dwelling-place: and المَرْأَةِ ↓ سُكْنَى means The wife's dwelling-place in which the husband lodges her. (L.) مَرْعًى مُسْكِنٌ Abundant pasturage, [that causes people to abide in it,] not requiring to go away; like مُرْبِعٌ and مُنْرِلٌ. (L.) b2: أَصْبَحُوا مُسْكِنِينَ They became in the state termed مَسْكَنَةٌ. (L, K.) مَسْكَنَةٌ (L, Msb, K) The state of him who is termed مِسْكِينٌ: primarily, lowliness, humility, or submissiveness: and meaning also lowness, abjectness, ignominiousness, abasement, or humiliation; and paucity of property; and an evil state or condition; also poverty of mind; and weakness; (IAth, L:) it is from السُّكُونُ [an inf. n. of سَكَنَ meaning as expl. in the first sentence of this art.]. (L.) مُسْكَانٌ, meaning “ an earnest,” or “ earnest money,” and of which [as well as of مِسْكِينٌ] the pl. is مَسَاكِينُ, belongs to art. مسك. (TA.) مِسْكِينٌ (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K, &c.) and مَسْكِينٌ, (L, Msb, K,) the latter anomalous, for there is no [other] instance of the measure مَفْعِيلٌ, (L,) of the dial. of Benoo-Asad, (L, Msb,) mentioned by Ks as heard by him from some one or more of that tribe, (L,) others saying مِسْكِينٌ, (Msb,) of the measure مِفْعِيلٌ (L) from السُّكُونُ, because the person to whom it is applied trusts to, or relies upon, others, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind: (Mgh, L, Msb:) primarily, (L,) it signifies Lowly, humble, or submissive; (IAth, Mgh, L;) and therefore the Prophet said, اَللّٰهُمَّ أَحْيِنِى مِسْكِينًا وَأَمِتْنِى مِسْكِينًا وَاْحْشُرْنِى فِى زُمْرَةِ المَسَاكِينِ [O God, make me to live lowly, and make me to die lowly, and gather me among the congregation of the lowly]: (Mgh, * L:) and hence it sometimes applies to him who possesses little and [sometimes] to him who possesses much: (L:) sometimes, (S,) it signifies (S, IAth, L, Msb, K) also (IAth, L) low, abject, ignominious, or in a state of abasement or humiliation; (S, IAth, L, Msb, K;) and weak; (S, L, K;) and subdued, or oppressed; though possessing riches or competence: (Msb:) [therefore] Sb says, it is one of the words expressive of pity, or compassion; [and as such may be rendered poor;] you say, مَرَرْت بِهِ المِسْكِينَ [I passed by him, I mean the poor man], putting it in the accus. case by the implication of أَعْنِى, though it may be in the genitive case as a substitute [for the pronoun], and in the nom. case by the suppression of هُوَ meant to be understood: (L:) in other cases, (S,) it is syn. with فَقِيرٌ, (S, L, Msb,) meaning (Msb) destitute, i. e. possessing nothing: (L, Msb, K:) or accord. to ISk, مسكين means thus; but the فقير is he who possesses a sufficiency of the means of subsistence: (Msb:) or the former means possessing somewhat; (L;) or [rather] needy, i. e. possessing what is not sufficient (L, K) for him (K) or for his family: (L:) or caused by poverty to have little power of motion; (L, K;) thus expl. by Aboo-Is-hák; but this is improbable; for مسكين has the meaning of an active part. n., and his explanation [like one of the others mentioned above] makes it to have that of a pass. part. n.: (L:) Yoo says the like of ISk: (Msb:) he used to say that the مسكين is in a harder condition than the فقير: (S, L, * Msb: *) he says, I asked an Arab of the desert, Art thou فقير? and he answered, No, by God, but rather مسكين; (S, L, * Msb;) but 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh says that this man may have meant that he was low, or abject, by reason of his distance from his people and his home; and that he does not think he meant anything but that: (L:) [J also adds,] it is said in a trad. that the مسكين is not he whom a mouthful or two mouthfuls will turn back, or away, but is only he who does not beg, and who is not known so that he may be given [anything]; (S;) but Ziyádet-Allah Ibn-Ahmad says that the فقير is he who sits in his house, not begging, and the مسكين is he who begs and is given; and hence it is argued that the latter is in a better condition than the former; though it indicates that the former is more highminded than the latter: (L:) accord. to As, the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير; and this is [said to be] the right assertion, (Mgh, L, Msb,) for the pl. of the former is applied in the Kur xviii. 78 to men possessing a ship, or boat, which is worth a considerable sum; (L, Msb;) but they may have been thus termed because they were humbled and abased by the tyranny of the king who took every ship, or boat, that he found upon the sea, by force; (L;) and it is said that these men were hirers, not owners, of the vessel: (TA voce فَقِيرٌ, q. v.:) 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh says, that the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير is shown by a passage in the Kur [ix. 60], where it is said that the poor-rates are for the فُقَرَآء and the مَسَاكِين; for you will find the classes to be there mentioned in such an order that the second is better in condition than the first, and the third than the second, and in like manner the fourth and the fifth and the sixth and the seventh and the eighth: and he says that the same is shown by the fact that the Arabs sometimes used مسكين as a proper name, but not فقير: (L:) or when these two words are used together, they differ in signification; and when used separately, they [sometimes] signify the same: (El-Bedr El-Karáfee, TA in art. فقر:) [see more voce فَقِيرٌ:] a woman is termed مِسْكِينَةٌ (Sb, S, L, Msb, K) and مِسْكِينٌ also; (S, L, K;) the former by way of assimilation to فَقِيرَةٌ; (Sb, S, L;) the latter being accord. to rule, for an epithet of the measure مِفْعِيلٌ is regularly applied alike to a male and a female; (S, Msb;) or, as Abu-l-Hasan says, this is only when it is an intensive epithet, which مِسْكِينَةٌ is not: (L:) the pl. is مَسَاكِينُ and مِسْكِينُونَ, (S, L, K,) applied to men, (K,) or to a company of people, (S, L,) and مِسْكِينَاتٌ applied to female. (S, L, K.)

(Msb.) And رَعَتِ المَاشِيَةُ الكَلَأَ, inf. n. رَعْىٌ (Mgh, TA) and رِعَايَةٌ [and مَرْعًى]; and ↓ ارتعت, and ↓ ترعّت; [The cattle pastured upon, or depastured, the herbage;] all signifying the same: (TA:) and of a camel you say, رَعَى الكَلَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ, inf. n. رَعْىٌ [&c., He pastured upon, or depastured, the herbage by himself]; and in like manner ↓ ارتعى. (S.) b2: The saying of 'Áïsheh فَإِنْ كَانَتْ تَرْعَى مَا هُنَالِكَ is an allusion to the feeling, or touching, of the فَرْج itself. (Mgh.) A2: رَعْىٌ also signifies The keeping, or tending, animals; pasturing, or feeding, them; and defending them from the enemy. (Er-Rághib, TA.) You say, رَعَيْتُ الإِبِلَ, (S,) or المَاشِيَةَ, (Msb, K,) or الغَنَمَ, (MA,) aor. ـْ (S, Msb,) inf. n. رَعْىٌ (S, MA) [and رِعَايَةٌ, as appears from a phrase mentioned below,] and رِعْيَةٌ, (MA,) or this last is a simple subst. from this verb, (K,) I [kept, or tended, or] pastured, (MA, Msb,) or lead to pasture, (MA,) the camels, (S,) or the cattle, (Msb, K,) or the sheep or goats; (MA;) and ↓ ارعاها signifies the same as رَعَاهَا. (K.) and صِنَاعَتُهُ رِعَايَةُ الإِبِلِ [His habitual work, or occupation, is the tending, or pasturing, of camels]. (ISd, K.) And فُلَانٌ يَرْعَى أَبِيهِ [Such a one tends, or pastures, for his father;] i. e. يَرْعَى غَنَمَهُ [tends, or pastures, his father's sheep or goats]. (S.) b2: And hence, as also رِعَايَةٌ, The keeping or guarding [a person or thing]; being mindful or regardful [of him or it]; and managing or ruling or governing [him or it]. (Er-Rághib, TA.)

(S.) And رَعْيًا لَكَ [I beg God's keeping, or guarding, for thee]; meaning رَعَاكَ اللّٰهُ May God keep thee, or guard thee. (Har p. 617.)

(PS.) This last phrase is from ↓ رَاعَيْتُهُ, inf. n. مُرَاعَاةٌ, (TA,) which means I regarded him; had regard, or an eye, to him; or paid regard, or consideration, to him; (S, Msb, K, TA;) acting, or behaving, well to him; doing good to him; or conferring a benefit, or benefits, upon him.

(S, Msb, K.) Hence, accord. to Er-Rághib, النُّجُومِ ↓ مُرَاعَاةُ: (TA:) you say, رَعَى النُّجُومَ; (S, K;) and ↓ رَاعَاهَا, (K,) inf. n. مُرَاعَاةٌ; (TA;) He watched the stars, (S, K, TA,) waiting for the time when they would disappear. (K, TA.) El-Khansà says, ↓ أَرْعَى النُّجومَ وَمَا كُلِّفْتُ رِعْيَتَهَا وَتَارَةً أَتَغَشَّى فَضْلَ أَطْمَارِى

[I watch, or I watching, the stars, waiting for the time when they will, or would, disappear, though I am not, or I was not, tasked with the watching of them; and at one time I cover myself, or covering myself, with the redundant parts of my old and worn-out garments]. (S.) b3: رِعَايَةٌ also signifies The being faithful to an engagement, or promise; syn. وَفَآءٌ. (Mgh. [See رَاعٍ, below; last sentence.]) 2 رعّاهُ, inf. n. تَرْعِيَةٌ, He said [of him], رَعَاهُ اللّٰهُ [May God keep him, or guard him: or he said to him, رَعَاكَ اللّٰهُ May God keep thee, or guard thee]. (TA.) 3 راعى الحِمَارُ الحُمُرَ The ass pastured with the [other] asses: (S, K:) and in like manner one says of camels with wild animals. (TA.) b2: راعت الأَرْضُ, a reading required by the context in the K, is wrong; the correct phrase being ارعت الأَرْضُ [q. v.]. (TA.) b3: See also 1, in the latter half of the paragraph, in eight places. b4: المُرَاعَاةُ is also syn. with المُنَاظَرَةُ [app. as meaning The looking towards, or facing, a person or thing: a signification nearly like the last referred to in the sentence here immediately preceding]. (TA.) b5: See also 4, in three places. b6: وَرِّعِ اللِّصَّ وَلَا تُرَاعِهِ, in a trad. of 'Omar, means Restrain thou the thief, or make him to refrain, from taking thy goods, but bear not witness against him: so says Lth: or the meaning is, and do not wait for him. (TA.) 4 ارعى المَاشِيَةَ i. q. رَعَاهَا: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph. Said of God, it means He caused to grow, for the cattle, that upon which they might pasture. (S.) One says also ارعت الأَرْضُ, [as though المَاشِيَةَ or the like were understood] The land abounded [as though it fed abundantly] with herbage: (Zj, K:) راعت الأَرْضُ, in this sense [as stated above, see 3,] is wrong. (TA.) And ارعاهُ المَكَانَ He made the place to be a pasturage for him. (ISd, K.) b2: أَرعَيْتُهُ سَمْعِى means I made my ear, or ears, to be mindful of his speech: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or I gave ear, hearkened, or listened, to him. (S, Msb.) Yousay, أَرْعِنِى سَمْعَكَ, (Msb, K,) and ↓ رَاعِنِى, i. e. Hearken thou, or listen thou, to my speech. (K.) Hence ↓ رَاعِنَا in the Kur [ii. 98 and iv. 48]: Akh says that it is of the form فَاعِلْنَا from المُرَاعَاةُ, and means أَرْعِنَا سَمْعَكَ; the ى having gone away because it is an imperative: he says also that it is read رَاعِنًا, as an objective complement, from الرُّعُونَةُ: (S: [see art. رعن:]) the reading in Ibn-Mes'ood's copy of the Kur-án is رَاعُونَا. (TA.) You say also, هُوَ لَا يُرْعِى إِلَى قَوْلِ أَحَدٍ He will not pay any regard, or attention, to the saying of any one. (TA.) b3: And أَرْعَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ I showed mercy to him [by sparing him, or letting him live, or by pardoning him, or otherwise]; had mercy on him; pitied, or compassionated, him; syn. أَبْقَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ and تَرَحَّمْتُهُ. (S, K.) Aboo-Dahbal says, إِنْ كَانَ هٰذَا السِّحْرُ مِنْكِ فَلَا تُرْعِى عَلَىَّ وَجَدِّدِى سِحْرَا [app. meaning If this enchantment be from thee, then spare me not, but renew enchantment]. (TA. [It seems to be there cited as an instance of the verb's having a second objective complement; (for which I see no reason;) following the assertion that one says, أَرْعَى عَلَيْهِ كَذَا, signifying ابقى; and that the verb is made trans. by means of على as properly meaning ارعاه متطلعا عليه: but I doubt not that the correct reading is أَرْعَاهُ مُطَّلِعًا عَلَيْهِ, i. e. He showed mercy to him, coming to him, or getting sight and knowledge of him.]) ↓ المُرَاعَآةُ, also, [or المُرَاعَاةُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ,] signifies الإِبْقَآءُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ. (TA.) 5 تَرَعَّىَ see 1, first and second sentences.8 إِرْتَعَىَ see 1, in three places, first two sentences.10 استرعى [app. signifies He desired cattle to pasture: and hence, he left them to pasture alone]. You say, اِسْتَرْعَيْتُ مَالِىَ القَمَرَ, meaning I left my cattle to pasture without a pastor to take care of them in the night: and [in like manner,] استرعيتهُ الشَّمْسَ, in the day. (TA in art. قمر.) b2: اِسْتَرْعَيْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ (S, K *) I asked him, or desired him, to keep or guard, or be mindful of or regardful of, the thing. (K, * TA.) Hence the prov., مَنِ اسْتَرْعَى الذِّئْبَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ [He who asks, or desires, the wolf to keep guard does wrong]; (S, TA;) i. e. he who trusts in one who is treacherous puts trust in a wrong place. (TA.) [And hence also,] اِسْتَرْعَى الأَسْمَاعَ لِخُطْبَتِهِ He asked, or desired, the ears [meaning the hearers] to mind his discourse, or oration. (Har p. 361.) رِعْىٌ and ↓ مَرْعًى Pasture, or herbage; (S, Mgh, K;) the food of beasts: (Msb:) pl. of the former أَرْعَآءٌ [meaning kinds, or sorts, of pasture or herbage]: (K:) and of ↓ the latter مَرَاعٍ. (Msb.) It is said in a prov., وَلَا كَالسَّعْدَانِ ↓ مَرْعًى

[Pasture, but not like the سعدان: see art. سعد]. (S.) b2: رِعْىُ الحَمَامِ وَالإِبِلِ A certain herb, having berries like myrtle-berries, in which is the least degree of sweetness; not injurious to the camels that feed upon it, but poison to [venomous or noxious reptiles or the like, such as are termed]

هَوَامّ: the decoction thereof blackens the hair. (Ibn-Seenà, book ii. p. 252.) رِعْيَةٌ a subst. from 1 in the first of the senses mentioned in this art.; i. e. [The act of cattle's pasturing, or their pasturing alone,] from رَعَتِ المَاشِيَةُ. (K.) b2: [Also The act, or occupation, of keeping or tending, or of pasturing or feeding, animals.] You say [of a man], يُجِيدُ رِعْيَةَ الإِبِلِ [He performs well the act of keeping or tending, or of pasturing or feeding, camels]. (S, K.) b3: [And The act of watching, and waiting for the time of the disappearance, of the stars.] See a verse cited near the end of the first paragraph.

A2: Also Land in which are projecting stones that impede the plough. (K, TA.) رَعْوَى and رُعْوَى: see the next paragraph. b2: [Both seem to be also substs. from أَرْعَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ; and thus to be syn. with بَقْوَى and بُقْوَى; and in like manner, ↓ رُعْيَا is probably syn. with بُقْيَا: the radical ى being changed into و as it is in بقوى.] You say, مَا لِى عَلَيْهِ رَعْوَى وَلَا بَقْوَى [I have no mercy nor pity to bestow upon him]. (JK in art. بقى. [See بُقْيَا.]) See also 1 in art. رعو [from which رَعْوَى in this phrase may also with reason be regarded as derivable].

رُعْيَا a subst. from رَعَى as used in the phrase رَعَى أَمْرَهُ [expl. in the first paragraph; thus signifying Mindfulness, regardfulness, or observance, of an affair, or a case]; as also ↓ رَعْوَى and ↓ رُعْوَى. (K.) b2: See also the next preceding paragraph. And see art. رعو.

رَعِىٌّ Pastured: ruled, or governed: and kept, or guarded: so accord. to Golius, as on the authority of the KL; but not in my copy of that work. It is agreeable with analogy as syn. with مَرْعِىٌّ: and from it is formed the subst. next following.]

رَعِيَّةٌ [with ة affixed لِلنَّقْلِ, i. e., to transfer the word from the category of epithets to that of substantives,] Cattle pasturing, or pasturing by themselves: and cattle kept, tended, or pastured: (K, TA:) pl. رَعَايَا: (TA:) this latter (the pl.) signifies cattle kept, tended, or pastured, for any one; (K, TA;) for the subjects and for the Sultán; (TA;) as also ↓ رَعَاوِيَّةٌ: (K, TA: in some copies of the K رَعَاوِيَة, without teshdeed:) and ↓ أَرْعَاوِيَّةٌ signifies cattle kept, tended, or pastured, for the Sultán, (K, TA,) especially, and upon which are his brands and marks. (TA.) Hence the trad., كُلُّ رَاعٍ مَسْؤُولٌ عِنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ [Every pastor shall be questioned respecting his pastured cattle: or every ruler shall be questioned respecting his subjects; agreeably with what follows]. (TA.) b2: The people ruled or governed; the subjects of a ruler or governor: (Msb, K:) the community; the people in common or in general; or the common people: (S:) [any persons or person, and things or thing, in the keeping, or under the guardianship or rule or government, of a man or woman:] see رَاعٍ, in the latter half of the paragraph: pl. as above. (TA.) رعاءة الخَيْلِ: see رَاعِيَةٌ.

رَعَاوَى and رُعَاوَى Camels that pasture around the people and their dwellings (S, K) because they are those upon which they work [or perform their business]: (S:) but in the Tekmileh it is written ↓ رُعَاوِيَّةٌ, as meaning cattle that pasture around the dwellings of the people. (TA.) رَعَاوِيَّةٌ: see رَعِيَّةٌ.

رُعَاوِيَّةٌ: see رَعَاوَى.

رَاعٍ [act. part. n. of 1]. You say مَاشِيَةٌ رَاعِيَةٌ Cattle [pasturing, or] pasturing by themselves: (Msb:) pl. رَوَاعِى [a mistranscription for رَوَاعٍ]. (TA.) b2: رَاعِى البُسْتَانِ and الأُتُنِ ↓ رَاعِيَةُ are names of Two species of جَنَادِب [or locusts]; (K;) the latter mentioned by ISd: Sgh says that the former is a large جُنْدَب: and the latter is another species, that does not fly. (TA.) b3: رَاعٍ also signifies A keeper, or guarder, (TA,) or pastor, (Msb,) of cattle: (Msb, TA:) an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant: (TA:) pl. رُعَاةٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) but this is said to be mostly used as pl. of رَاعٍ in another sense as will be shown below, (TA,) and رِعَآءٌ [and app. رُعَآءٌ (mentioned below)] and رُعْيَانٌ; (S, Msb, TA;) and رُعَاةٌ has a pl., namely, رُعًى. (TA.) b4: [Hence,] الرَّاعِى is the name of The star [a] that is upon the head of الحَوَّآء [i. e. Ophiuchus]: that which is upon the head of الحاوى [a mistranscription in my MS. for الجَاثِى, i. e. Hercules, the star a,] being called كَلْبُ الرَّاعِى. (Kzw.) Also The star γ] that is upon the left leg of Cepheus: between whose legs is a star [app. K] that is called كَلْبُ الرَّاعِى: (Kzw:) [from their longitudes it seems that these two stars are the same as are meant by what here follows:] الكَلْبُ [or كَلْبُ الرَّاعِى] is a certain star over against الدَّلْو [or Aquarius, which latter is] below; in the path of which is a red [or perhaps another (آخَر instead of أَحْمَر)] star, called الرَّاعِى. (TA in art. كلب.) [and accord. to Freytag, رَاعِى الجَوْزَآءِ is the name of A star otherwise called the Foot of Orion: and رَاعِى النَّعَائِمِ, the name of The star λ in Sagittarius: see Ideler's “ Untersuch. über den Ursprung etc. der Sternnamen,” to which he refers, pp. 213, 226, for the former; and p. 187 for the latter.] b5: [And hence,] رَاعٍ signifies also A ruler, or governor, (S, K,) or prince, or commander, (Msb,) who manages, conducts, orders, or regulates, the affairs of a people: (Msb, K:) and a ruler, or governor, of himself: (TA:) pl. رُعَاةٌ and رُعْيَانٌ, (K,) but it is said that the former is mostly used as meaning rulers, or governors, and the latter as pl. of رَاعٍ in relation to sheep or goats [or the like], (TA,) and رِعَآءٌ and رُعَآءٌ. (K.) It is said in a trad., كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْؤُولٌ عِنْ

↓ رَعِيَّتِهِ [Every one of you is a ruler, or governor, and every one of you shall be questioned respecting those, or that, of which he is ruler or governor]: such is the man in respect of his family, and in respect of the property of his father; and the servant in respect of the property of his master; and the wife is a رَاعِيَة in respect of the house, or tent, of her husband: and every one of these shall be questioned respecting his, or her, رَعِيَّة. (ElJámi' es-Sagheer of Es-Suyootee.) And one says, كَالرَّاعِى ↓ لَيْسَ المَرْعِىُّ [The ruled, or governed, is not like the ruler, or governor]. (S.) b6: In the saying of El-Karkhee, بَاعَ طَيْرًا عَلَى أَنَّهُ رَاعٍ, relating to [carrier-] pigeons, it is from الرِّعَايَةُ signifying الوَفَآءُ; [the saying meaning He sold birds on the condition of their being such as would be faithful to their charge;] for pigeons in El-'Irák and Syria are bought for high prices, and sent from distant points with letters of informations, and convey them, and bring back replies to them. (Mgh, JM.) رَاعِيَةٌ [fem. of رَاعٍ. b2: Also a subst. formed from the latter word by the affix ة; like رَعِيَّةٌ from رَعِىٌّ]: see راعٍ, third sentence. b3: الرَّاعِيَةُ is the name of A certain bird: (TA:) [and] so is رَاعِيَةُ الخَيْلِ; (TA, and thus in some copies of the K;) thus correctly written, as in the Tekmileh; in [some of] the copies of the K, راعية الجبل; [perhaps the same as the former bird;] a yellow bird, that is found beneath the bellies of horses or similar beasts; thus in the Tekmileh; said by ISh to be a small bird like the sparrow, that alights beneath the bellies of the horses and other beasts, yellow, as though its neck and wings were tinged with saffron, its back having upon it a dinginess, or duskiness, and blackness, its head being yellow, and its زِمِكَّى [or tail] being neither long nor short; accord. to Sgh, also called الخيل ↓ رعاءة. (TA [thus written without any syll. signs: if applying to the species in the manner of a coll. gen. n., perhaps a mistranscription for رُعَاةُ الخَيْلِ].) b4: رَاعِيَةُ الشَّيْبِ, and رَوَاعِى الشَّيْبِ, (tropical:) The commencement of hoariness, (K, TA,) and the first marks thereof. (TA.) أَرْعَى [app. More, and most, merciful or compassionate; from أَرْعَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ, though by rule it should be formed from an unaugmented verb accord. to many of the grammarians: b2: and hence, being nearly syn. with أَرْفَقُ in the primary sense, syn. with this latter, or nearly so, in a secondary sense]. You say, أَمْرُ كَذَا أَرْفَقُ بِى

وَأَرْعَى عَلَىَّ [app. meaning (assumed tropical:) This affair is more, or most, easy and convenient to me]. (TA.) أُرْعُوَّةٌ The yoke that is placed upon the necks of the two bulls employed in ploughing; (AA, Sgh, K, TA;) of the dial. of Azd-Shanoo-ah. (TA.) أَرْعَاوِيَّةٌ: see رَعِيَّةٌ.

تِرْعِىٌّ: see what next follows.

تِرْعِيَّةٌ and تُرْعِيَّةٌ (Fr, S, ISd, K) and تَرْعِيَّةٌ, (ISd, K,) and sometimes without teshdeed, (K,) the first without teshdeed mentioned by Sgh on the authority of Fr, (TA,) and ↓ تِرْعَايَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ تُرْعَايَةٌ (Sgh as from Fr) and ↓ تُرَاعِيَةٌ (Sgh, K) and ↓ تِرَاعِيَةٌ and ↓ تِرْعِىٌّ (K) A man who performs well the act of keeping or tending, or of pasturing or feeding, camels: (S, K:) or whose habitual work, or occupation, or the habitual work, or occupation, of whose fathers, is, or has been, the tending, or pasturing, of camels: (ISd, K:) or who is a good seeker after herbage for the cattle. (ISd, TA.) تُرْعَايَةٌ: see what next precedes.

تُرَاعِيَةٌ: see what next precedes.

مَرْعًى an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, K.) b2: and A pasturage, or place of pasture; (S, K;) as also ↓ مَرْعَاةٌ: (Sgh, K:) pl. مَرَاعٍ. (TA.) [Hence,] فَإِنَّ لِكُلٍّ بُغَاةٌ ↓ لَا تَدَعَنَّ فَتَاةً وَلَا مَرْعَاةً [Do not thou leave uncared for a young woman nor a pasturage, for there are persons that seek, or endeavour, to find and get each]: a prov. enjoining the availing oneself of an opportunity, and the setting about an affair with prudence, discretion, precaution, or sound judgment. (Meyd.) b3: See also رِعْىٌ, in three places.

(TA in art. حبس.) and أَبْقَيْتُ مَا بَيْنَنَا I was sparing of marring, i. e., forbore from marring much, or exceedingly, that [state of union or amity] which subsisted between us. (K.) And نَعْلَيْكَ وَابْذُلْ قَدَمَيْكَ ↓ بَقِّ [Pre-serve thou, or spare thou, thy sandals, and use freely, or unsparingly, thy feet]: a prov. (Meyd. See Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 149.)

بُقْيَا (JK, S, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ بَقْيَا (TA) and ↓ بَقْوَى (JK, S, Msb, K) and ↓ بُقْوَى (Th, K) and ↓ (JK, K,) the ↓ third and ↓ fourth with ى changed into و, like as و is changed into ى in دُنْيَا and عُلْيَا and قُصْيَا, (ISd, TA,) [substs. in the sense of إِبْقَآءٌ, inf. n. of 4, signifying The making, or causing, and suffering, to remain, continue, last, &c.; preservation of a person in life, and of a thing in being; and the sparing, letting live, or leaving alive;] substs. from أَبْقَاهُ: (Msb, K:) or [the showing mercy by sparing or letting live, or by pardoning, or otherwise; having mercy; pitying, or compassionating;] substs. from أَبْقَيْتُ عَلَى

فُلَانٍ. (S.) Thus one says of a pilgrim, that he put gum, or something glutinous, upon his head, and so caused his hair to become compacted, بُقْيَا عَلَيْهِ to preserve it in the state in which it was (expl. by إِبْقَآءً عليه), lest it should become shaggy, or dishevelled, &c. (L in art. لبد.) And one says, نَشَدْتُكَ اللّٰهَ وَالبُقْيَا and ↓ البَقْوَى [I conjure, or beg, or beseech, thee by God and by the preservation of thy life]. (JK.) And مَا لِى عَلَيْه رَعْوَى وَلَا

↓ بَقْوَى [I have no mercy nor pity to bestow upon him]. (JK. [There expl. by the words أَىْ أَرْعَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَبْقَيْتُ; but أَىْ is evidently a mistranscription for مِنْ, i. e. from.]) A poet (El-La'een ElMinkaree, TA) says, فَمَا بُقْيَا عَلَىَّ تَرَكْتُمَانِى

وَلٰكِنْ خِفْتُمَا صَرَدَ النِّبَالِ [And it was not to show mercy by sparing me that ye two left me; but ye feared the transpiercing of the arrows]. (S.) And another says, on his having refused to accept an offer of seven bloodwits, أُذَكَّرُ بِالبُقْيَا عَلَى مَنْ أَصَابَنِى

وَبُقْيَاىَ أَنِّى جَاهِدٌ غَيْرُ مُؤْتَلِى

i. e. Am I required [or exhorted or reminded] to show mercy to him who slew my relation, when the mercy that I show to him is that I am labouring to slay him, and not falling short, or being remiss: by بقياى is meant إِبْقَائِى عَلَيْهِ; though الإِبْقَآء is not الجَهْد: the meaning is, that this is done by me in lieu of that: البُقْيَا is a subst. from الإِبْقَآء, syn. therewith; and the و prefixed to it is a denotative of state. (Ham p. 119. [This verse is also cited in the TA, but with the substitution of ↓ بِالبَقْوَى and وَبَقْوَاى for the corresponding words above.] ↓ البَقِيَّةَ is said by men to their enemies when the latter have overcome; meaning [We ask, or beg, the being spared, or mercy, or quarter; a verb, whereby it is governed, being understood: or] أَبْقُونَا وَلَا تَسْتَأْصِلُونَا [spare ye us, and destroy us not entirely]. (TA.) بَقِيَّةٌ A remain, remainder, remaining portion, remnant, relic, residue, or the remains, or rest, of a thing; (KL, PS, &c.;) a subst. from بَقِىَ as signifying “ it remained over and above,” and “ it remained behind: ” pl. بَقَايَا and بَقِيَّاتٌ: (Msb:) ↓ بَاقِيَةٌ, also, [pl. بَوَاقٍ and بَاقِيَاتٌ,] has the same meaning as بَقِيَّةٌ; (TA;) [i. e., as explained above; and so has ↓ بَاقٍ, for شَىْءٍ بَاقٍ &c.] You say, بَقِىَ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ بَقِيَّةٌ [explained before: see 1]. (S.) [And هُمْ بَقِيَّةُ السَّيْفِ, and بَقَايَا السَّيْفِ, They are those who have been spared by the sword]. b2: [Hence,] فُلَانٌ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ القَوْمِ Such a one is of the best of the people, or company of men: because a man reserves the most excellent of the things that he produces. (Bd in xi. 118.) And فُلَانٌ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ أَهْلِهِ Such a one is of the most excellent of his people, or family. (Ham p. 78.) And فُلَانٌ بَقِيَّةُ القَوْمِ Such a one is the best of the people, or company of men: pl. بَقَايَا. (Kull p. 96.) b3: أُولُو بَقِيَّةٍ, in the Kur xi. 118, hence means Persons possessed of excellence: [see a phrase mentioned voce بَلَلٌ:] or possessing a relic of judgment and intelligence: (Bd:) or persons of religion and excellence: (Jel:) or persons of understanding (K, TA) and discrimination: (TA:) or persons of obedience: (TA:) or having the quality of preserving themselves (Az, Bd, K, *) from punishment, (Bd,) by their holding the approved religion: (Az, TA:) and this last explanation is confirmed by another reading, which is ↓ اولوا بَقْيَةٍ [possessing a quality of watching, or observing, and hence, of guarding, or preserving]; بَقْيَة being the inf. n. of un. of بَقَاهُ, aor. ـْ signifying “ he watched,” or “ observed,” &c., “ him,” or “ it. ” (Bd.) See also بُقَيَا, in two places. بَقِيَّةٌ is also a subst. from أَبْقَيْتُ مَا بَيْنَنَا [explained before: see 4: app. meaning Forbearance from marring much, or exceedingly, the state of unity, or of amity, subsisting between two persons, or parties: and such may be its meaning in the phrase above-mentioned (اولوا بقيّة)]. (K.) b4: بَقِيَّةُ اللّٰهِ, in the Kur xi. 87, [after the command, in the next preceding verse, to give full measure and weight,] means God's sustenance that remains for you after your giving full measure [and weight]: (Jel:) or that which God has preserved for you, of what is lawful, (Fr, Bd,) after [your] keeping aloof from that which he has forbidden you: (Bd:) or the good state, or condition, remaining for you: (Zj, K:) or the fear (مُرَاقَبَة) of God; accord. to some: (Fr, TA:) or the obedience of God, and (as Aboo-'Alee says, TA) the looking for his recompense: (K, TA:) or بَقِيَّةٌ and ↓ بَاقِيَةٌ signify any religious service whereby one seeks to obtain the recompense of God; and such is the meaning of the former in this instance. (Er-Rághib, TA.) b5: See also بَاقِيَةٌ.

بَاقٍ part. n. of بَقِىَ [in all its senses; Remaining, continuing, lasting, or enduring: and permanent, or perpetual; or continuing, lasting, or existing, incessantly, always, endlessly, or for ever: &c.: see 1]. (Er-Rághib, TA.) البَاقِى, a name of God, [as also, pleonastically, البَاقِى الأَبَدِىُّ, means The Everlasting, or] He whose existence will have no end. (TA.) See also بَقِيَّةٌ. b2: البَاقِى also signifies The حَاصِل [or net produce, or perhaps simply the produce,] of the [tax termed] خَرَاج, and the like. (Lth, JK, TA.) بَاقِيَةٌ: see بَقِيَّةٌ, first sentence. b2: البَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ [in the Kur xviii. 44, and xix. 79,] means Any righteous, or good, work, (K, TA,) of which the recompense remains: (TA:) or acts of obedience, (Bd and Jel in xix. 79,) or good works, (Bd in xviii. 44,) of which the fruit remains for ever: (Bd in both those places, and Jel * in the former:) and, as included therein, [so Bd, but in the K “ or,”] the five prayers; (Bd, K;) and the performance of the pilgrimage; and the keeping the fast of Ramadán; (Bd in xviii. 44;) and [so Bd, but in the K “ or,”] the saying, سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَ الحَمْدُلِلّٰهِ وَ لَا إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَ اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ; (Bd and Jel in xviii. 44, and K;) to which some add, وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ: (Jel ibid.:) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, the correct meaning is any religious service whereby one seeks to obtain the recompense of God: see also بَقِيَّةٌ, last explanation. (TA.) b3: بَاقِيَةٌ is sometimes put in the place of an inf. n.; (S, K;) or it is an inf. n.; (Msb;) syn. with بَقَآءٌ; (S, Msb, TA;) with which ↓ بَقِيَّةٌ, also, is syn. (TA in art. سرع.) So in the Kur [lxix. 8], فَهَلْ تَرَى لَهُمْ مِنْ بَاقِيَةٍ [And dost thou see them to have any continuance?]; (S, TA;) so says Fr: (TA:) or, as some say, the meaning is, بَقِيَّةٍ [i. e. a remnant]: (TA:) or جَمَاعَةٍ بَاقِيَةٍ [a company remaining]: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or نَفْسٍ بَاقِيَةٍ [a soul, or person, remaining]: (Bd, Jel:) or the ة is an intensive affix; (Jel;) [or a restrictive to unity;] i. e. one remaining; (Jel, TA;) and this is also allowable and good: one says, likewise, مَا بَقِيَتْ بَاقِيَةٌ وَ لَا وَ قَاهُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَاقِيَةٌ [One remaining remained not, nor did one preserver preserve them from God]. (TA.) أَبْقَى Longer continuing. (Bd and Jel in xx. 74, &c.) b2: هُوَ أَبْقَى الرَّجُلَيْنِ means أَكْثَرُ إِبْقَآءً عَلَى

قَوْمِهِ [He is the more merciful, or pitiful, or compassionate, of the two men, towards his people]. (TA.) نَاقَةٌ مُبْقِيَةٌ A she-camel [that retains some milk;] that does not exhaust her copious supply of milk. (JK.) b2: مُبْقِيَاتُ الخَيْلِ, (K,) or rather المُبْقِيَاتُ مِنَ الخَيْلِ, (TA,) The horses whose running continues after the running of other horses has ceased: (M, K:) or, that reserve somewhat of their running. (T, TA.) b3: And المُبْقِيَاتُ The places that retain some of the pools in which water has collected, and do not drink it up. (TA.)
