Nounسِدْرٌ2 senses · 1 main

Core sense — the lote-tree, rhamnus spina Christi; the lote-tree in the Seventh Heavengenerated

1a single lote-tree—سِدْرَةٌ

[A collective generic noun: the species of lote-tree called by Linnæus rhamnus spina Christi, and by Forskål rhamnus nabeca;] the tree, or trees, whose fruit is called نَبِق and نَبْق.

The singular, or [rather] the ism waḥda.

Sometimes سِدْرٌ is used to mean the smallest, or smaller, of numbers [generally from three to ten inclusively]. (Ibn-Es-Sarráj)

AHn says, on the authority of Aboo-Ziyád, that the سِدْر is of the kind called عِضَاه, and is of two species, عُبْرِىٌّ and ضَالٌ: the عبرى is that which has no thorns except such as do not hurt, while the ضال has thorns [which hurt].

The سدر has a broad round leaf, and people sometimes stop and rest beneath a tree of this kind; but the ضال is small.

The best نبق known in the land of the Arabs is in Hejer, in a single piece of land set apart for the Sultán alone: it is the sweetest of all in taste and smell, and the mouth of the one who eats it, and the clothes of the one who carries it, give off a smell like perfume.

It is [also] said that the سدر is of two species: one grows in the cultivated lands, its leaves are used in the washing termed غُسْل, and its fruit is sweet; the other grows in the desert, its leaves are not so used, and its fruit is juicy.

The زُعْرُور is described in such a way that it may be taken to be the wild نبق.

When سِدْرٌ is used by itself, in connexion with the washing termed غُسْل, it means the ground leaves of the tree so called.

The plural of سِدْرَةٌ is سِدْرَاتٌ, سِدِرَاتٌ, سِدَرَاتٌ, سِدَرٌ, and سُدُورٌ, this last being rare.

1.1the lote-tree in the Seventh Heaven—سِدْرَةُ المُنْتَهَى

Beyond it neither angel nor prophet passes, and it shades the water and Paradise.

In the Saheeh it is said to be in the Sixth Heaven. 'Iyád reconciles the two statements by supposing that its root is in the Sixth and that it rises over the Seventh.

IAth: it is in the furthest part of Paradise, to which, as its furthest limit, the knowledge of ancients and moderns reaches.

Qur’ānic occurrences سِدْر

34:16

فَأَعْرَضُوا۟ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ ٱلْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَـٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَىْ أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَىْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ

But they turned away (from Allah), and We sent against them the Flood (released) from the dams, and We converted their two garden (rows) into "gardens" producing bitter fruit, and tamarisks, and some few (stunted) Lote-trees.

56:28

Core sense — dazzled, or confused in sight; an old and weak she-camel; the seagenerated

Having his eyes dazzled by a thing, so that he turns his face away from it; or in a state of confusion or perplexity, and unable to see his right course: synonym مُتَحَيِّرٌ, as also سَادِرٌ.

The former, said of a camel: having his eyes dazzled by a thing, so that he turns his face away from it, because of intense heat; and also having his eyes dazzled by snow, as well as by intense heat.

1.1his eye is confused in its vision, or dazzled, so that he cannot see well—عَيْنُهُ سَدِرَةٌ

1.2an old and weak she-camel—سَدِرَةٌ

IAar; mentioned under سد.

1.3the sea—سَدِرٌ

One of its [proper] names; it occurs only in a poem of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abi-s-Salt, who says: [And as though the first heaven, with the angels around it, were the sea, the winds deserting it, and smooth]

shāhid 1

فَكَأَنَّ بِرْقِعَ وَالمَلَائِكُ حَوْلَهُسَدِرٌ تَوَاكَلُهُ القَوَائِمُ أَجْرَدُ

[But in the M and TA, for حَوْلَهُ we find حَوْلَهَا; and in the S, for أَجْرَدُ we find أَجْرَبُ, which does not fit the rhyme of the poem.]

By القوائم he means the winds; and by تواكله [for تَتَوَاكَلُهُ] تَرَكَتْهُ [or rather تَتْرُكُهُ]. He likens the sky to the sea when it is calm.

Th quotes it thus:

shāhid 2

وَكَأَنَّ بِرْقِعَ وَالمَلَائِكُ تَحْتَهَاسَدِرٌ تَوَاكَلُهُ قَوَائِمُ أَرْبَعُ

and says that the poet likens the angels, in their fear of God, to a man affected with vertigo.

[Literally, turning round; though it would seem more fitting had he said that the poet likens them to a camel so affected, whose four legs failed him. He prefaces this explanation with the words سَدِرٌ يَدُورُ وَقَوَائِمُ أَرْبَعُ هُمُ المَلَائِكَةُ, to which he, or ISd, adds لَا يَدْرِى كَيْفَ خَلْقُهُم; but, using a common phrase of ISd, I can only say لَا أَدْرِى كَيْفَ هٰذَا, unless something has been left out in the transcription.]

Sgh says that the correct reading is سِدْرٌ, meaning the kind of tree so called, not the sea; the author of the Námoos adopts his opinion, but MF rejects it.

Some read رَقْعًا [in place of برقع] and explain it as meaning the seventh heaven. Mentioned under رقع.
