Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

سَدِمَ, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) aor. ـَ {يَسْدَمُ}, (Ḳ,) inf. n. سَدَمٌ, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) He repented and grieved: (Ṣ:) or he was, or became, affected with anxiety: or with anxiety together with repentance: or with wrath, or rage, together with grief. (M, Ḳ.) [Hence,] one says, مَا لَهُ هَمٌّ وَلَا سَدَمٌ إِلَّا ذَاكَ [He has no object of anxiety nor of repentance and grief except that: or this saying may be from what next follows]. (Ṣ.)

سَدِمَ بِالشَّىْءِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, He desired the thing vehemently, eagerly, greedily, very greedily, or excessively; hankered after it, or coveted it; and he was, or became, devoted, addicted, or attached, to it: (TḲ:) [but these meanings of the verb are perhaps only inferred from the saying that] السَّدَمُ is syn. with الحِرْصُ: and اللَّهَجُ بِالشَّىْءِ, (M, Ḳ, [in the CK اللَّهْجُ,]) and الوُلُوعُ. (TA.) Hence the trad., مَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ وَسَدَمَهُ جَعَلَ ٱللّٰهُ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ [To whomsoever the present state of existence is the object of his anxiety and of his eager desire, &c., God places his poverty before his eyes]. (TA.)

(A, TA.)
