muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُسَأََmaṣdarسَأَمٌ
Core sense — he turned away with disgust from it, he loathed itgenerated
1.1he turned away with disgust from it, he loathed it—سَئِمَهُ
maṣdar سَأَمٌ, سَأْمٌ, سَأَمَةٌ, سَآمٌ, and سَآمَةٌ.
Said of a thing; synonymous with مَلَّ and ضَجِرَ. سَآمَةٌ is stronger than مَلَالٌ.
In the Qur'ān 41:49: لَا يَسْأٓمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ دُعَآءِ ٱلْخَيْرِ [Man will not turn away with disgust from, or will not be weary of, praying for good, or wealth, or prosperity].
In a tradition: إِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ لَا يَسْأَمُ حَتَّى تَسْأَمُوا God will not turn away with disgust until you turn away with disgust; like لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا, which is how the tradition is commonly related.
It is related in a tradition of 'Áïsheh that she used to say to the Jews, عَلَيْكُمْ السَّأْمُ وَالذَّأْمُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ [Disgust, or loathing, and contempt, and cursing, rest upon you]. It is related in this way with ء, meaning you will turn away with disgust from your religion; but it is commonly related without ء, and with a different meaning, as will be stated later in art. سوم. So IAth, in this article and in art. سوم.
