(Msb.) b9: As used in the Kur [lxxiii. 7], where it is said, إِنَّ لَكَ فِى النَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا, it is variously explained: (S, TA:) accord. to Katádeh (S) and El-Muärrij, (S, TA,) the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) [Verily thou hast in the day-time] long freedom from occupation; (S, K, * TA;) and in this sense, also, its verb is سَبَحَ, aor. ـَ (JM:) [thus it has two contr. significations:] or, accord. to Lth, (assumed tropical:) leisure for sleep: (TA:) accord. to AO, the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) long-continued scope, or room, for free action; syn. مُتَقَلَّبًا طَوِيلًا: and accord. to ElMuärrij, it means also (assumed tropical:) coming and going: (S, TA:) accord. to Fr, the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) thou hast in the day-time the accomplishment of thy needful affairs: (TA:) or the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) [long] occupation of thyself in thy affairs of business; not being free from occupation therein for the reciting of the Kur-án. (Jel.) Some read سَبْخًا, which has nearly the same meaning as سَبْحًا. (Zj, TA.) b10: As inf. n. of سَبَحَ, (TK,) it signifies also (assumed tropical:) The state of sleeping. (K.) And as such also, (TK,) (assumed tropical:) The being still, quiet, or motionless. (K.) b11: [Also (assumed tropical:) The glistening of the mirage.] You say, سَبَحَ السَّرَابُ, or الآلُ, meaning لَمَعَ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) The mirage glistened]. (O.) b12: And (assumed tropical:) The digging, or burrowing, in the earth, or ground. (K, * TA.) You say of the jerboa, سَبَحَ فِى الأَرْضِ (assumed tropical:) He dug, or burrowed, in the earth, or ground. (O, TA.) b13: And (assumed tropical:) The being profuse in speech. (K.) You say, سَبَحَ فِى الكَلَامِ (assumed tropical:) He was profuse in speech. (O, TA.) b14: See also the next paragraph. in two places.2 تَسْبِيحٌ signifies The declaring [God] to be far removed, or free, from every imperfection or impurity, or from everything derogatory from [his] glory; syn. تَنْزِيهٌ, (S, O, Msb, TA,) and تَقْدِيسٌ: (Msb:) the magnifying, celebrating, lauding, or praising, and glorifying, God; and declaring Him to be far removed, or free, from everything evil. (TA.) You say, سَبَّحَ اللّٰهَ, (T, A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) and سبّح لِلّٰهِ, (Kur lvii. 1 &c., and A,) in which the ل is redundant, (Jel in lvii. 1 &c.,) inf. n. تَسْبِيحٌ, and سُبْحَانٌ is a subst. that [sometimes] stands in the place of the inf. n., (T, TA,) or it is an inf. n. of which the verb is سَبَحَ, (K, TA,) He declared God to be far removed, or free, from every imperfection or impurity &c., (A, Mgh, TA,) or from what they say [of Him] who disacknowledge [his attributes]; (Msb;) [i. e. he declared, or celebrated, or extolled, the perfection or purity, or absolute glory, of God;] and he magnified, celebrated, lauded, or praised, God, by the mention of his names, saying سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ and the like: (Msb:) and سبّح [alone], (Mgh, K,) inf. n. تَسْبِيحٌ, (K,) he said سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ; (Mgh, K;) as also ↓ سَبَحَ, inf. n. سُبْحَانٌ; (K, TA;) the latter, which is like شَكَرَ, inf. n. شُكْرَانٌ, a dial. var. mentioned by ISd; and no regard should be paid to the saying of Ibn-Ya'eesh and others, that سبحان is an inf. n. of which the verb is obsolete: accord to El-Mufaddal, سُبْحَانٌ is the inf. n. of ↓ سَبَحَ signifying he raised his voice with supplication, or prayer, and magnification or celebration or praise [of God, as when one says سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ or the like]; and he cites as an ex., قَبَحَ الْإِلٰهُ وَجُوهَ تَغْلِبَ كُلَّمَا سَبَحَ الحَجِيجُ وَ كَبَّرُوا إِهْلَالَا [May God remove far from good, or prosperity, or success, the persons (وُجُوهَ here meaning نُفُوسَ) of the tribe of Teghlib, whenever the pilgrims raise their voices with supplication, &c., and say اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرْ, ejaculating لَبَّيْكَ]. (MF, TA.) وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ, in the Kur ii. 28, is a phrase denotative of state, (Ksh, Bd, Jel,) meaning While we declare thy remoteness from evil [of every kind], (Ksh, Bd,) or while we say سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ, (Jel,) praising Thee, (Ksh,) [or with the praising of Thee, i. e.] making the praising of Thee to be an accompaniment, or adjunct, to our doing that: (Ksh, Bd, Jel:) so that we are the more worthy to be appointed thy vice-agents. (Ksh, * Bd, * Jel.) فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ العَظِيمِ, in the Kur lvi. 73 and last verse, means Therefore declare thou the remoteness from what is unsuitable to his majesty by mentioning the name of thy Lord, or by mentioning the Lord, for the pronouncing of the name of a thing is the mentioning of it, [i. e., of the thing itself,] the great name, or the great Lord: (Bd:) or it means therefore pray thou commencing with, or uttering, the name of thy Lord [the great name or Lord]: (Kull p. 211:) [for] b2: تَسْبِيحٌ also signfies The act of praying. (K, Msb.) You say, سَبَّحَ meaning He prayed. (A, Mgh.) And [particularly] He performed the [supererogatory] prayer of [the period termed] الضُّحَى. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ يُسَبِّحُ اللّٰهَ, i. e. ↓ يُصَلِّى السَّبْحَةَ, meaning Such a one performs prayer to God, either obligatory or supererogatory: [but generally the latter: (see سُبْحَةٌ:)] and يُسَبِّحُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ performs supererogatory prayer [upon his camel that he is riding]. (Msb.) It is said in the Kur [iii. 36], وَسَبِّحْ بِالْعَشِىِّ وَالْإِبْكَارَ, i. e. And pray thou [in the evening, or the afternoon, and the early morning]. (TA.) And it is related of 'Omar, أَنَّهُ جَلَدَ رَجُلَيْنِ سَبَّحَا بَعْدَ العَصْرِ, meaning [That he flogged two men] who prayed [after the prescribed time of the afternoon-prayer]. (S, TA.) You say also, بِيَدِهِ يُسَبِّحُ بِهَا ↓ سُبْحَةٌ [i. e. In his hand is a string of beads by the help of which he repeats the praises of God: see سُبْحَةٌ, below]. (A, Msb. *) b3: Also The making an exception, by saying إِنْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ [If God will]: because, by so saying, one magnifies God, and acknowledges that one should not will unless God will: and thus is expl. the saying in the Kur [lxviii. 28], أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ لَوْ لَا تُسَبِّحُونَ [Did I not say to you, Wherefore will ye not make an exception? addressed to the owners of a garden, who “ swore that they would certainly cut its fruit when they should be entering upon the time of morning, they not making an exception ”]. (TA.) 3 سابحهُ, [inf. n. مُسَابَحَةٌ,] i. q. رَاسَاهُ, (T and K in art. رسو,) i. e. He swam with him. (TK in that art.) [And app. also He vied, or contended, with him in swimming.]4 اسبحهُ He made him to swim (K, TA) فِى

المَآءِ [in the water] or فَوْقَ المَآءِ [upon the water]. (TA.) سَبْحَةٌ Garments of skins: (K:) or, accord. to Sh, سِبَاحٌ, which is the pl., signifies shirts of skins, for boys: AO corrupted the word, relating it as written سُبْجَةٌ, with ج, and with damm to the س; whereas this signifies “ a black [garment of the kind called] كِسَآء: ” and a verse cited by him as presenting an ex. of its pl., in its last word, is from a poem of which each verse has for its fundamental rhyme-letter the unpointed ح: ISd, in art. سبج, mentions سِبَاجٌ as signifying “ garments of skin,” and having سبجة for its sing.; but says that the word with the unpointed ح is of higher authority; though he also states it, in the same art., to have been corrupted by AO. (TA.) b2: [A meaning belonging to سُبْحَةٌ (q. v.) is assigned in some copies of the K to سَبْحَةٌ.]

A2: السَّبْحَةُ, (K,) or سَبْحَةُ, from سَابِحٌ as an epithet applied to a horse, or mare, (IAth, TA,) is a proper name of A horse, or mare, belonging to the Prophet: (IAth, K, TA:) and of another belonging to Jaafar the son of Aboo-Tálib; (K;) or this was a mare named سَمْحَةُ: (O:) and of another belonging to another. (K.) سُبْحَةٌ Beads (S, Msb, K, TA) strung (Msb, TA) upon a string or thread, (TA,) [ninety-nine in number, and having a mark after each thirtythree,] with which (by counting them, K) one performs the act termed التَّسْبِيح [meaning the repetition of the praises of God, generally consisting in repeating the words سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهْ thirtythree times, الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهْ thirty-three times, and اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرْ thirty-three times, which is done by many persons after the ordinary prayers, as a supererogatory act]: (S, A, Msb, K:) its appellation implies that it is an Arabic word; but Az says that it is post-classical: its pl. is سُبَحٌ (Msb) and سُبُحَاتٌ also. (Har p. 133.) See 2, last sentence but one. b2: Also Invocation of God; or supplication: (K:) and prayer, (A, Msb,) whether obligatory or supererogatory: (Msb:) or supererogatory praise; (S;) and supererogatory prayer; (S, A, Mgh, K;) because of the تَسْبِيحٌ therein. (Mgh.) You say, فُلَانٌ يُصَلِّى السُّبْحَةَ, expl. above; see 2, in the latter part of the paragraph. (Msb.) And قَضَىسُبْحَتَهُ He performed, or finished, his prayer: (A:) or قَضَيْتُ سُبْحَتِى means I performed, or finished, my supererogatory praise and such prayer. (S.) And صَلَّى

السُّبْحَةَ He performed the supererogatory prayer: (A:) and سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى [the supererogatory prayer of the period termed الضُّحَى]. (Msb.) b3: سُبْحَةُ اللّٰهِ, (IAth, K, TA,) with damm, (TA, [but in my MS. copy of the K written سَبْحَة, and so in the CK,]) means (assumed tropical:) The greatness, or majesty, of God: (IAth, K, TA:) or [the pl.]

السُّبُحَاتُ, occurring in a trad., means (assumed tropical:) the greatness, or majesty, and the light [or splendour], of God: (Msb:) or by the saying سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِ رَبِّنَا, with damm to the س and ب, is meant (assumed tropical:) the greatness, or majesty, of the face of our Lord: (S:) or سُبُحَاتُ وَجْهِ اللّٰهِ means (assumed tropical:) the lights [or splendours], (K,) or, accord. to ISh, the light [or splendour], (TA,) of the face of God: (ISh, K, TA:) some say that سُبُحَاتُ الوَجْهِ means (assumed tropical:) the beauties of the face; because, when you see a person of beautiful face, you say, سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ [to express your admiration]: and some, that [when it relates to God] it denotes a declaration of his being far removed from every imperfection; meaning سُبْحَانَ وَجْهِهِ. (TA. [See سُبْحَان.]) One says, [addressing God,] أَسْأَلُكَ بِسُبُحَاتِ وَجْهِكَ الكَرِيمِ, with two dammehs, meaning (tropical:) [I ask Thee] by the evidences of thy greatness, or majesty, [or of the greatness, or majesty, of thy glorious face,] by the acknowledgement whereof thy praise is celebrated. (A.) b4: السُّبُحَاتُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) The places of prostration [probably meaning in the reciting of the Kur-án]. (K.) A2: Also, i. e. [the sing.,] سُبْحَةٌ, A piece of cotton. (TA.) سُبْحَانٌ is the inf. n. of سَبَحَ as syn. with سَبَّحَ [q. v.]; (K, TA;) and is a subst. that [sometimes] stands in the place of the inf. n. of the latter of these verbs, i. e. in the sense of تَسْبِيحٌ. (T, TA.) b2: سُبْحَانَ is a proper name in the sense of التَّسْبِيح, and [for this reason, and also because it ends with ا and ن,] it is imperfectly decl., and is also invariable; being put in the accus. case in the manner of an inf. n. (Mgh.) You say سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ, meaning I declare [or celebrate or extol] the remoteness, or freedom, of God [from every imperfection or impurity, or from everything derogatory from his glory, i. e.] from the imputation of there being any equal to Him, or any companion, or anything like unto Him, or anything contrary to Him; or from everything that should not be imputed to Him: (L:) [I declare, or celebrate, or extol, his absolute perfection or glory or purity: or extolled be his absolute perfection &c.:] or I declare the remoteness of God, or his freedom (بَرَآءَة), from evil, (Zj, * S, K, TA,) or from every evil; (TA;) and [especially] from the imputation of his having a female companion, and offspring: (K:) or I declare God's being very far removed from all the foul imputations of those who assert a plurality of gods: (MF:) [it sometimes implies wonder, and may well be rendered how far is God from every imperfection! &c.:] in this case, سبحان is a determinate noun; (K;) i. e., a generic proper name, for التَّسْبِيح, like as بَرَّةُ is for البِرُّ. (MF:) Zj says, (TA,) it is put in the accus. case in the manner of an inf. n.; (S, K;) i. e., as the absolute complement of a verb understood; the phrase with the verb supplied being أُسَبِّحُ اللّٰهَ سُبْحَانَهُ; (MF;) meaning أُبَرِّئُ اللّٰهَ مِنَ السُّوْءِ بَرَآءَةً; (S, K, MF;) سبحان thus supplying the place of the verb: accord. to Ibn-El-Hájib and others, when it is prefixed to another noun or pronoun, governing it in the gen. case, it is a quasi-inf. n.; and when not so prefixed, it is a proper name, imperfectly decl.: but to this it is objected that a proper name may be thus prefixed for the purpose of distinction, as in the instances of حَاتِمُ طَيِّئٍ and زَيْدُ الفَوَارِسِ: some say that it is an inf. n. of an obsolete verb; but this assertion is not to be regarded; for, as an inf. n., its verb is سَبَحَ, like شَكَرَ of which the inf. n. is شُكْرَانٌ: others say that it may be an inf. n. of سَبَّحَ, though far from being agreeable with analogy: and some derive it from السَّبْحُ as signifying “ the act of swimming,” or “ the being quick, or swift,” or “ the being, or becoming, remote,” &c.: (MF:) [hence F adds,] or the phrase above-mentioned denotes quickness in betaking oneself to God, and agility in serving, or obeying, Him; [and therefore may be rendered I betake myself quickly to the service of God, and am prompt in obeying Him;] (K;) so accord. to ISh, to whom a man presented himself in a dream, and indicated this explanation of the phrase, deriving it from سَبَحَ الفَرَسُ [“ the horse ran stretching forth his fore legs, as one does with his arms in swimming ”]. (L.) فَسُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُونُ, [in which سبحان is used in the place of the inf. n. of سَبَّحَ, and سَبِّحُوا is understood before it,] in the Kur [xxx. 16], means Therefore perform ye prayer to God [or declare ye the remoteness of God from every imperfection &c.] when ye enter upon the time of evening and when ye enter upon the time of daybreak. (Fr, TA.) and سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ عَمَّا يَصِفْونَ, in the Kur xxiii. 93, means Far [or how far] is God from that by which they describe Him! (Jel.) One says also, سُبْحَانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ, meaning سَبَّحْتُكَ بِجَمِيعِ

آلَائِكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ سَبَّحْتُكَ [i. e. I glorify Thee by enumerating all thy benefits, and by the praising of Thee I glorify Thee]. (Mgh. [See also the prep. بِ.]) b3: سُبْحَانَ مِنْ كَذَا, (Msb, K,) or سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ كَذَا, (S,) and سُبْحَانَ مِنْ فُلَانٍ, (A,) are (tropical:) phrases expressive of wonder (S, A, Msb, K) at a thing (S, Msb, K) and a person; (A;) originating from God's being glorified (أَنْ يُسَبَّحَ اللّٰهُ) at the sight of what is wonderful of his works, and afterwards, by reason of its being frequently said, employed in relation to anything at which one wonders; (Er-Radee, TA;) meaning (assumed tropical:) [I wonder greatly (lit., with wondering) at such a thing and such a person; as is shown by what follows; or] how extraordinary, or strange, is such a thing [and such a person!]. (Msb.) El-Aashà says, أَقُولُ لَمَّا جَآءَنِى فَخْرُهُ سُبْحَانَ مِنْ عَلْقَمَةَ الفَاخِر (S, Msb *) (assumed tropical:) [I saying, when his boasting reached me, I wonder greatly at' Alkameh the boasting]; i. e. العَجَبُ مِنْهُ, (S,) or [rather] عَجَبًا لَهُ [ for أَعْجَبُ عَحَبًا لَهُ], lit. I wonder with wondering at him; (Msb;) [or how extraordinary a person is 'Alkameh the boasting !:] سبحان being without tenween because it is regarded by them as a determinate noun, and having a resemblance to a fem. noun: (S:) [though in what quality it resembles a fem. noun, except in its being of one of the measures of broken pls., I do not know:] or it is imperfectly decl. because it is a determinate noun, being a proper name for البَرَآءَة (IJ, IB) and التَّنْزِيه, (IJ,) and because of the addition of the ا and ن: (IJ, IB:) this is the true reason: but some hold that it is rendered determinate by its being prefixed to a noun understood, governing it in the gen. case; the complete phrase being سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ عَلْقَمَةَ. (MF.) b4: سُبْحَانًا, thus with tenween, as an indeterminate noun, occurs in the phrase سُبْحَانَهُ ثُمَّ سُبْحَانًا, in a poem of Umeiyeh. (IB.) A2: سُبْحَان is also used in the sense of نَفْس, in the saying أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِى

سُبْحَانِكَ [Thou art possessed of more, or most, knowledge of that which is in thine own mind]. (K.) سَبُوحٌ: see سَابِحٌ, in three places.

سِبَاحَةٌ an inf. n., (K,) or a simple subst., (Msb,) from سَبَحَ; (Msb, K;) Natation; or the act [or art] of swimming: (S, A, Msb, * K:) or the coursing along upon water without immersion of oneself. (MF, TA. [See 1, first sentence.]) سَبَّاحٌ: see سَابِحٌ, in two places.

سُبُّوحٌ, also pronounced سَبُّوحٌ, (T, S, Msb, K, &c.,) the latter the more agreeable with analogy, but the former the more common, (Th, T, S, Msb, *) one of the epithets applied to God, (T, S, A, Msb, * K,) because He is an object of تَسْبِيح, (K,) and [often] immediately followed by قُدُّوسٌ, (A, Msb, K,) which is likewise also pronounced قَدُّوسٌ, though the former pronunciation is the more common: (Th, T, S, Msb: *) it signifies [All-perfect, all-pure, or all-glorious; i. e.] far removed, or free, from everything evil, (Zj, Mgh, Msb, TA,) and from every imperfection [and the like]. (Msb. [See 2, and see also سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ.]) It is said (S, Msb) by Th (S) that there is no word like the two epithets above, of the measure فعُّول with damm as well as with fet-h to the first letter, except ذرّوح: (S, Msb:) but the following similar instances have been pointed out: ستّوق among epithets, and ذرّوح and شبّوط and فرّوج and سفّود and كلّوب among substs. (TA.) Sb says, لَيْسَ فِى الكَلَامِ فُعَّوْلٌ بِوَاحِدَةٍ [expl. voce ذُرَّاحٌ]: (S:) [or] accord. to AHei, Sb said that there is no epithet of the measure فُعُّولٌ except سُبُّوحٌ and قُدُّوسٌ: Lh mentions سُتُّوقٌ also, as an epithet applied to a دِرْهَم, as well as سَتُّوقٌ. (TA.) السَّبَّاحَةُ: see المُسَبِّحَةُ, in two places.

سَابِحٌ and ↓ سَبَّاحٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ سَبُوحٌ (K) are part. ns., or epithets, from سَبَحَ in the first of the senses assigned to it above: (Msb, K:) [the first signifies Swimming, or a swimmer:] the second has an intensive signification [i. e. one who swims much, or a great swimmer; as also the third]: (Msb:) the pl. of the first, accord. to IAar, not of the first and last as it appears to be accord. to the K, is سُبَحَآءُ: (MF:) that of the second is سَبَّاحُونَ: (K:) and that of the third is سُبُحٌ or سِبَاحٌ, the former reg., and the latter irreg. (MF.) b2: السَّابِحَات, (K, &c.,) in the Kur [lxxix. 3], accord. to Az, (TA,) means The ships: (K:) or (assumed tropical:) the souls of the believers أَرْوَاحُ المُؤْمِنِينَ [for which Golius seems to have found in a copy of the K أَزْوَاجُ المُؤْمِنِينَ, for he gives as an explanation piæ et fidelium uxores,,]) (K, TA) which go forth with ease: or (assumed tropical:) the angels that swim, or glide, (تَسْبَحُ,) from (من [app. a mistranscription for بَيْنَ between]) the heaven and the earth: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) the stars, (K,) which swim, or glide along, (تَسْبَحُ,) in the firmament, like the سَابِح in water. (TA.) [The meanings fœminæ jejunantes and veloces equi and planetæ, assigned to this word by Golius as on the authority of the KL, are in that work assigned to سَائِحَات; the first of them as the meaning of this word in the Kur lxvi. 5.] And you say نُجُومٌ سَوَابِحُ (tropical:) [Stars gliding along in the firmament: سوابح being a pl. of سَابِحٌ applied to an irrational thing, and of سَابِحَةٌ]. (A.) b3: سَابِحٌ is also applied as an epithet to a horse, (S, IAth, A, L,) meaning (tropical:) That stretches forth his fore legs well in running [like as one does the arms in swimming]; (S, * IAth, L;) and in like manner ↓ سَبُوحٌ [but in an intensive sense]: (A, L:) the pl. [of the former] is سَوَابِحُ and سُبَّحٌ. (A.) And سَوَابِحُ also signified (tropical:) Horses; (K, TA;) as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant; (TA;) because they thus stretch forth their fore legs in running. (K, * TA.) Hence, (TA,) ↓ السَّبُوحُ is the name of A horse of Rabeea Ibn-Jusham. (K, TA.) And in like manner, ↓ السَّبَّاحُ is the name of A celebrated courser: (TA:) and of A certain camel. (K, TA.) تَسْبِيحَاتٌ and تَسَابِيحُ [pls. of تَسْبِيحَةٌ A single act of تَسْبِيح: see 2]. (A.) مَسْبَحٌ A place of swimming, &c.: pl. مَسَابِحُ.]

b2: See an ex. of the pl. in the first paragraph of this art. مُسَبَّحٌ, accord. to AA and the K, applied as an epithet to a [garment of the kind called] كِسَآء, means Strong: and accord. to the former, مُسَبَّجٌ, so applied, means “ made wide. ” (TA.) مُسَبِّحٌ [act. part. n. of 2]. فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ المُسَبِّحِينَ, in the Kur [xxxvii. 143], means and had he not been of the performers of prayer, (A, * Mgh, Msb, K, *) as some say. (Mgh.) المُسَبَّحَةُ (A, Msb, TA) and ↓ السَّبَّاحَةُ (A, TA) (tropical:) [The index, or fore finger;] the finger that is next the thumb: (Msb, TA:) so called because it is like the glorifier when one makes a sign with it [by raising it] when declaring [the unity of] the divine essence. (Msb, TA. *) One says, أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِالمُسَبِّحَةِ and ↓ بِالسَّبَّاحَةِ (tropical:) [He pointed towards him, or it, with the fore finger]. (A, TA.)

سفح

1 سَفَحَ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. سَفْحٌ, (Msb,) [and app. سُفُوحٌ also, mentioned in what follows,] He poured out, or forth, water: (S, A:) and he shed blood, (S, A, Msb, K,) the blood of another; (S, A;) and tears; (Msb, K;) inf. n. as above, and سُفُوحٌ: (K:) or سَفَحَتِ العَيْنُ دَمْعَهَا [the eye shed its tears]. (A.) The saying, in a trad., فَقَتَلَ عَلَىرَأْسِ المَآءِ حَتَّى

سَفَحَ الدَّمُ المَآءَ has been explained as meaning [and he slew at the head of the water so that] the blood covered the water: but IAth says that this is not consistent with the language; for سَفْحٌ signifies the act of “ pouring out, or forth; ” and that the meaning may therefore be, that the blood made the water to pour forth; like as when, into a full vessel, something heavier than what is in it is poured; for in this case there comes forth from it as much as has been poured into it. (TA.) b2: سُفِحَ فِى الأَرضِ (assumed tropical:) [He was stretched, or extended, upon the ground], said of a camel. (K.)

(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.

(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.

(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:

سَكْنَةٌ A quiescence of a letter; its having no vowel immediately following; opposed to حَرَكَةٌ: pl. سَكَنَاتٌ.] b2: تَرَكْتُهُمْ عَلَى سَكَنَاتِهِمْ: see سَكِنَةٌ.

سُكْنَةٌ: see سَكَنٌ.

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].

(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.].

(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.

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.

(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.
