muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarسَحْقٌ سُحُوقَةٌ إِسْحَاقٌ سُحْقٌ

Core sense — he pounded it; he wore it out; it became distantgenerated

1.1

. He bruised, or pounded, it — a thing, or a medicine; synonym دَقَّهُ.

Or the same as سَهَكَهُ, apparently meaning he pounded it coarsely; but see that verb.

Or it means he did so in a lesser degree than دَقَّهُ; or he powdered it, pounding it finely; or he pounded it time after time.

1.1.1figurative · مجازthe wind effaced the traces of the ground and carried away the broken particles on it—سَحَقَتِ الرِّيحُ الأَرْضَ

Muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above.

Or it passed along as though it were pounding the dust; or it pared the surface of the earth by its violent blowing; and so سَهَكَتْهَا.

1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhe wore it out, said of a garment—سَحَقَهُ

Muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above.

the course of time made it (a garment) thin and worn out—سَحَقَهُ مَرُّ الزَّمَانِ
[wear wasted it], said of a garment—سَحَقَهُ البِلَا
1.1.3

Also: he, or it, made a hard thing soft, or smooth.

1.1.4figurative · مجاز — inferred

And he destroyed it; and اسحقهُ likewise.

1.1.5he killed the louse—سَحَقَ القَمْلَةَ
1.1.6he shaved his head—سَحَقَ رَأْسَهُ
1.1.7the eye spent its tears, it shed them—سَحَقَتِ العَيْنُ دَمْعَهَا
1.1.8

See also form 4.

1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredit (a garment) became old and worn out—سَحُقَ

.

And apparently سَحِقَ, maṣdar سَحَقٌ, following a use of this noun in the Deewán el-Hudhaleeyeen mentioned by Freytag, and agreeing with the phrase ثَوْبٌ سَحِقٌ mentioned below.

Yaakoob: also اسحق.

1.3it (a thing, or a place) became distant, or remote—سَحُقَ

.

it became distant, or remote—سَحِقَ

and apparently سُحُقٌ also. Also اسحق and انسحق in the same sense.

سُحْقٌ and سُحُقٌ are both synonymous with بُعْدٌ.

may God alienate him from good, or prosperity! or curse him!—سُحْقًا لَهُ

A form of imprecation, meaning: may he not be pitied for what has befallen him; like بُعْدًا لَهُ. The most approved way is to put the noun in the accusative as a maṣdar, but the tribe of Temeem say بُعْدٌ لَهُ and سُحْقٌ.

So in the article بعد.

1.3.1the palm-tree became tall—سَحُقَتِ النَّخْلَةُ

Or tall with smoothness of its trunk.

1.4the beast ran violently—سَحَقَتِ الدَّابَّةُ

.

Or it ran at a pace above that called مَشْىٌ and below that called حُضْرٌ, agreeing with the explanation given of السَّحْقُ; or below that called حُضْرٌ and above that called سَحْجٌ.

Being true in faith to Allah, and never assigning partners to Him: if anyone assigns partners to Allah, is as if he had fallen from heaven and been snatched up by birds, or the wind had swooped (like a bird on its prey) and thrown him into a far-distant place.
