Schultens to signify rays: but this I do not find in any lexicon:] the pl. (of شُعَاعٌ, O) is أَشِعَّةٌ, (O, Ḳ,) accord. to analogy, (O,) [a pl. of pauc.,] and شُعُعٌ (O, Ḳ) andشِعَاعٌ↓; (Ḳ;) the last anomalous. (TA.) Hence, in a trad. respecting [the night called] لَيْلَةُ القَدْرِ, it is said, إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ مِنْ غَدِ يَوْمِهَا لَا شُعَاعَ لَهَا [Verily the sun will rise on its morrow having no rays].
