سلك سلم سلهب


1. ⇒ سلم

سَلِمَ, [aor. ـَ {يَسْلَمُ},] inf. n. سَلَامَةٌ (Ṣ, M, A, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ) and سَلَامٌ (A, TA) and سَلَمٌ and سَلْمٌ and سِلْمٌ, (Bḍ 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], (Ṣ, Mgh,) or مِنَ الآفَةِ [from evil of any kind], (Ḳ,) 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: (Mṣb:) and سَلِمَ مِنَ العَيْبِ he was, or became, free from fault, defect, imperfection, blemish, or vice; syn. بَرِئَ. (Mṣb in art. برأ.) [Hence,] one says, لَا بِذِى تَسْلَمُ مَا كَانَ گَذَا وَكَذَا, (ISk, Ṣ, Ḳ,*) meaning No, by God [or Him] who maketh thee to be in safety, (ISk, Ṣ, Ḳ,) [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, Ṣ, Ḳ.*) 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. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) 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, Ṣ:) it is not prefixed to any but this verb تَسْلَمُ [and its variations as above mentioned]. (Sb, M, Ḳ.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 1. Signification: A2

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.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 1. Dissociation: B

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.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 1. Dissociation: C

سَلَمَتْهُ الحَيَّةُ, (TA,) inf. n. سَلْمٌ, (M, Ḳ, TA,) The serpent bit him: (M,* Ḳ,* TA:) mentioned by Az, but he adds that no one but Lth has said this. (TA.)

سَلَمَ الجِلْدَ, aor. ـِ {يَسْلِمُ}, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) inf. n. سَلْمٌ, (TA,) He tanned the skin with [قَرَظ, i. e. leaves of] the سَلَم [or mimosa flava]. (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 1. Signification: D2

سَلَمَ الدَّلْوَ, (M, Ḳ,) aor. ـِ {يَسْلِمُ}, 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, Ḳ.)


2. ⇒ سلّم

سلّمهُ, (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ,) inf. n. تَسْلِيمٌ, (Ḳ,) He (God) made him to be safe, secure, or free; saved, secured, or freed, him; (M, Mṣb, TA;) مِنَ الآفَاتِ [from evils of any kind], (Ṣ, Mṣb,) or مِنَ الآفَةِ [from evil of any kind], (Ḳ,) or مِنَ الأَمْرِ [from the affair]. (M.) [Freytag assigns the same meaning to اسلمهُ↓ also, as on the authority of the Ḥam; in which I find no explanation of this verb except one which will be found later in this paragraph.]

Root: سلم - Entry: 2. Signification: A2

[Hence,] التَّسْلِيمُ is also syn. with السَّلَامُ, (Ṣ, Ḳ, 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, Mṣb.) [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 ٱللّٰهُ 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: (Ḥar 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.]

[Hence also,] سلّم إِلَيْهِ الشَّىْءَ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,*) inf. n. as above; (Ḳ;) andاسلم↓ اليه الشىءَ; (M;) He gave to him the thing; (Ṣ,* M, Ḳ;) 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: (Mṣb:) andاسلم↓ الثَّوْبَ إِلَى الخَيَّاطِ (Mgh) signifies the same as سلّمهُ إِلَيْهِ [i. e. He delivered the garment, or piece of cloth, to the tailor]. (Ḥar p. 166.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 2. Signification: A5

You say also, سلّم الأَجِيرُ نَفْسَهُ لِلْمُسْتَأْجِرِ The hired man gave himself up, or gave authority over himself, to the hirer. (Mṣb.) Andأَسْلَمْتُهُ↓ and سَلَّمْتُهُ I left him in the power of him who desired to kill him or to wound him. (Ḥam p. 115.) Andاسلمهُ↓ لِلْهَلَكَةِ [He gave him up to destruction]: in this case with [the prep.] ل only. (Ḥar p. 166.) Andاسلم↓ الرَّجُلَ, (Ṣ,* M, Mṣb,*) or العَدُوَّ, (Ḳ,) He left, forsook, or deserted, (M, Ḳ,) the man, (Ṣ,* M, Mṣb,*) or the enemy; (Ḳ;) or abstained from aiding, or assisting, him; (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ;) and threw him into destruction. (IAth, TA.) Andاسلمهُ↓ لِمَا بِهِ 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]. (Ṣ,* M.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 2. Signification: A6

And سلّم أَمْرَهُ إِلَى ٱللّٰهِ andاسلمهُ↓, both meaning the same, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ, TA,) i. e. He committed his case to God. (TA.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 2. Signification: A7

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]. (Mṣb.) [Hence one says, سلّم أَنَّهُ كَذَا He conceded that it was thus.]

Root: سلم - Entry: 2. Signification: A8

And التَّسْلِيمُ signifies also [The assenting, or] the giving [one's] approval (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA) unreservedly, (Ṣ,) to that which is ordained, or decreed, (Ṣ, Ḳ, 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 ٱللّٰهِ He assented to the command of God: [or he gave his approval to it:] or he submitted to it; as alsoاسلم↓. (MA.)


3. ⇒ سالم

سالمهُ, (M, Mṣb,) inf. n. مُسَالَمَةٌ (Ṣ, M, Mṣb) and سِلَامٌ, (M, Mṣb,) He made peace, or became at peace or reconciled, with him; or he reconciled himself with him: [implying mutual concession, or a compromise:] (Ṣ,* M, Mṣb:) and سَالَمَا They made peace, or became at peace or reconciled, or they reconciled themselves, each with the other. (Ḳ.)


4. ⇒ اسلم

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]; (Ṣ, M, Mgh, Mṣb;) الثَّمَنَ [the price] being suppressed, though sometimes it is expressed; (Mgh;) as alsoسلّم↓; (M;) andتسلّم↓, 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 Ḳṭ 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 (Ṣ) or فى البُرِّ (Mgh) [He paid in advance for the wheat], and فى الشَّىْءِ [for the thing], as alsoسلّم↓. (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]. (Mṣb.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 4. Signification: A2

Also [He resigned, or submitted, himself; نَفْسَهُ being understood: or] he was, or became, resigned, or submissive; (M, Ḳ;) and soاستسلم↓: (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ:) 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]: (Mṣb:) [or] اسلم signifies he entered into السِّلْم, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) which here means الاِسْتِسْلَام [i. e. the state of resignation, or submission]. (Ṣ.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 4. Signification: A3

And He became a Muslim; as alsoتسلّم↓; (M,* Ḳ;) 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. (Ṣ,* Mṣb.) 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-Sháfiʼee; but the doctrine of Aboo-Ḥaneefeh 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 Ḳur, that every prophet has been sent with الاسلام, though the ordinances differ. (M.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 4. Signification: A4

One says also, أَسْلَمْتُ عَنْهُ, meaning I left it [app. an affair, as in an explanation in the TḲ,] after I had been [engaged] in it. (Ibn-Buzurj, Ḳ.) 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.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 4. Signification: A5

[Freytag assigns to اسلم another signification “Adscendere fecit (vid. a سُلَّم),” as from the Ḥam, 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-ḥ, 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

تسلّم مِنْهُ He asserted, or declared, himself to be free from, or clear of, or quit of, it, or him. (M.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 5. Signification: A2

تسلّم is also syn. with أُسْلَمَ, in two senses: see the latter, in two places.

Root: سلم - Entry: 5. Dissociation: B

And تسلّمهُ signifies He took it, or received it; namely, a thing given, or delivered. (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ.)


6. ⇒ تسالم

تسالموا, (M,) and تسالما, (Ḳ,) inf. n. تَسَالُمٌ, (Ṣ,) They, (M,) or they two, (Ḳ,) made peace, or became at peace or reconciled, (Ṣ,* M, Ḳ,) one with another, (Ṣ, M,) or each with the other. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) [See also 8.]

Root: سلم - Entry: 6. Signification: A2

One says of a man, (M,) of a great, or frequent, liar, (TA,) لَا تَسَالَمُ خَيْلَاهُ, [for تَتَسَالَمُ,] (M,) or لَا يَتَسَالَمُ خَيْلَاهُ, (Ḳ, TA,) [† His two troops of horses will not agree in pace, each with the other;] meaning ‡ [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 † they kept pace, one with another; (تَسَايَرَتْ [q. v.];) not exciting one another. (M, Ḳ, TA.)


8. ⇒ استلم

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. (Ḳ, TA.) [See also 6.]

Root: سلم - Entry: 8. Signification: A2

Root: سلم - Entry: 8. Dissociation: B

استلم الحَجَرَ He touched, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or reached, (Mgh,) the stone, [meaning the Black Stone of the Kaabeh,] by kissing, or with the hand: (Ṣ, Mgh, Ḳ:) 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, Ḳ;) but is not the original: (M:) accord. to ISk, the Arabs pronounced it with hemz, contr. to analogy; (Mṣb;) or it should not be pronounced with hemz, though some thus pronounce it, (Ṣ,) the original being استلم, (ISk, Mṣb,) because it is from سِلَامٌ [pl. of سَلِمَةٌ] signifying “stones,” (ISk, Ṣ,* M, Mṣb,* [in the Mgh, from سَلِمَةٌ signifying “a stone,” and in the Mṣb 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-ḥ, 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 IAạr, the original is with hemz, from المُلَآءَمَةُ, meaning الاِجْتِمَاعُ [“the coming together,”, &c., because denoting contact]. (Mṣb.) Abu-t-Tufeyl is related to have said, رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ ٱللّٰهِ صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ 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. (Ḥar pp. 30 and 31.)

Root: سلم - Entry: 8. Signification: B2

استلم الخُفُّ قَدَمَيْهِ means The boot rendered his feet soft [after he had been accustomed to walking barefoot]. (TA.)


10. ⇒ استسلم

Root: سلم - Entry: 10. Dissociation: B

استسلم ثَكَمَ الطَّرِيقِ He went upon the middle of the road, not missing it. (Ḳ,* 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

تَمَسْلَمَ [from مُسْلِمٌ] He named, or called, himself a Muslim; or he named himself Muslim; his name having before been Moḥammad: (M, Ḳ:) mentioned by Er-Ru-ásee. (M.)


سَلْمٌ

سَلْمٌ: see the next paragraph, in six places.

Root: سلم - Entry: سَلْمٌ Dissociation: B

Also A leathern bucket (دَلْوٌ) having one عُرْوَة [or loop-shaped handle], (T, Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) 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: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) expl. in the Ṣ 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, Ḳ,) and Lḥ mentions as its pl. أَسَالِمُ, which is extr. [unless as a pl. pl., i. e. pl. of أَسْلُمٌ]. (M.)


سِلْمٌ

سِلْمٌ Peace, or reconciliation; as alsoسَلْمٌ↓; (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ;) masc. and fem.; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;*) andسَلَمٌ↓ andسَلَامٌ↓ 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; (Ḥam p. 80;) as alsoسَلْمٌ↓; and both are sometimes fem. as being syn. with مُصَالَحَةٌ. (L voce جَنَحَ, q. v.) In the saying of El-Aạshà,

* 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, orسَلْمًا↓, orسَلَمًا↓, 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.])

Root: سلم - Entry: سِلْمٌ Signification: A2

Also i. q.سَلَامٌ↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA,) as signifying Selfresignation, or submission; (TA; [and thus the latter is expl. in one place in the Ṣ;]) which is also a signification ofسَلَمٌ↓: (Ṣ, M, Ḳ, TA:) and this is meant in the Ḳur [iv. 96], where it is said,وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلسَّلَامَ↓ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا, (Bḍ, TA,) orالسَّلَمَ↓, as some read, (Bḍ,) [i. e. And say not ye to him who offers to you submission, Thou art not a believer:] orالسَّلَامَ↓ here means the salutation of الإِسْلَام [by saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ]: (Bḍ, TA:*) or salutation, and submission by uttering the profession of الإِسْلَام; and soالسَّلَمَ↓: (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; (Ḳ;) [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.)

Root: سلم - Entry: سِلْمٌ Signification: A3

And [hence] السِّلْمُ signifies also الإِسْلَامُ [as meaning The religion of the Muslims; because it is a religion of self-resignation, or submission]: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) this is meant in the Ḳur [ii. 204], where it is said, اُدْخُلُوا فِى السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً [Enter ye into the religion of El-Islám wholly]; (Ṣ, Bḍ, Jel;) and soالسَّلْمِ↓, as some there read; (Bḍ, Jel;) or both there mean submission and obedience to God: (Bḍ:) [and] السَّلَمُ↓ [also] has the former meaning. (M.)

Root: سلم - Entry: سِلْمٌ Dissociation: B

Also, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) andسَلْمٌ↓, (M,) A man, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA,) [and] a woman, (M,) who makes peace, or is at peace, with another; (Ṣ, M, Ḳ;) and in like manner, a company of men (قَوْمٌ). (M.) This is said to be meant in the Ḳur [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 andسَلْمًا↓ andسَلَمًا↓, 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. (Bḍ.) You say, أَنَا سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمَنِى [I am one who is at peace with respect to him who is at peace with me]. (Ṣ, TA.) And a poet says, [using this word in two different senses, the latter of which has been mentioned above,]

* أَنَائِلُ إِنَّنِى سِلْمٌ *
* لِأَهْلِكِ فَٱقْبَلِى سِلْمِى *

[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

Root: سلم - Entry: سَلَمٌ Signification: A2

Also, in buying or selling, (Mṣb,) the subst. from أَسْلَمَ فِى الشَّىْءِ and سَلَّمَ signifying أَسْلَفَ, (M,) i. q. سَلَفٌ; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;) 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: (Ṣ 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.)

سَلَمَان

سَلَمَان or سَلِمَان, accord. to different readings, occurs in a trad. of Ibn-ʼOmar, 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

سَلَامٌ, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA,) in its primary acceptation, (TA,) is syn. with سَلَامَةٌ↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA,) as is also سَلَمٌ↓, (Ṣ, [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, (Ṣ,* [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 alsoسَلَامَةٌ↓: (Sb, M:) IḲt 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.]: (Bḍ 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: (Bḍ 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; (Bḍ and Jel in xix. 48;) nor say to thee henceforward what would annoy thee, or be disagreeable, or evil, to thee. (Bḍ 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. (Bḍ 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-Ghowwáṣ, 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 ٱللّٰهِ. (Ḥam p. 367.) You also say,لَا بِسَلَامَتِكَ↓ مَا كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا [No, by thy safety, such and such things were not]. (Ṣ.) السُّلَامُ is also a name of God, (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ,) [applied to Him in the Ḳur 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; (IḲt, 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, Ḳ,) [applied thereto in the Ḳur 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.)

[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]; (Bḍ in iv. 96;) a subst. (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, TA) from سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ, (Mṣb,) [i. e.] from التُّسْلِيمُ, (Ṣ, Mgh, TA,) like كَلَامٌ from التَّكْلِيمُ. (Mgh. [See 2, third sentence.])

In the saying in the Ḳur [xxv. 64], وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلْجَاهِلُونَ 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], (Bḍ,) [and means] there shall be neither good nor evil between us (Sb, M, Bḍ) 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 Ḳur, which was promulgated afterwards, at El-Medeeneh, 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. (Bḍ.) 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.]

(Ṣ, 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.” (Ḳ.)
