سَقَرُ Hell: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) one of the [proper] names thereof: (Ṣ:) Aboo-Bekr says, There are two opinions respecting this word: some say, that the fire of the world to come is thus called, and that the derivation of the word is unknown, and that it is imperfectly decl. because it is determinate and a foreign word: others say that it is from سَقَرَتْهُ الشَّمْسُ, because it melts the bodies and souls, and that it is an Arabic word; and he who holds it to be such says that it is imperfectly decl. because it is determinate and of the fem. gender. (TA.)
