muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarسَلَامَةٌ سلم سَلْمٌ

Core sense — he was, or became, safe, secure, or free from evilsgenerated

1.1He was, or became, safe, or secure; he escaped; he was, or became, free—سَلَمَ

The maṣdars are سَلَامَةٌ, سَلَامٌ, سَلَمٌ, سَلْمٌ, and سِلْمٌ.

safe [from evils of any kind]—مِنَ الآفَاتِ

safe [from evil of any kind]—مِنَ الآفَةِ

safe [from trial, or affliction]—مِنَ البَلَآءِ

safe [from the affair]—مِنَ الأَمْرِ

he was, or became, free from fault, defect, imperfection, blemish, or vice—سَلِمَ مِنَ العَيْبِ

Said of a traveller: he was, or became, safe, secure, or free from evils of any kind.

Synonymous with بَرِئَ; so in art. برأ.

No, by God [or Him] who keeps you in safety, [such and such things were not]—لَا بِذِى تَسْلَمُ مَا كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا

To two persons لا بذى تَسْلَمَانِ, to a plural number لا بذى تَسْلَمُونَ, to a female لا بذى تَسْلَمِينَ, and to a plural number [of females] لا بذى تَسْلَمْنَ.

I will not do that, by the Author of your safety—لَا أَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ بِذِى تَسْلَمُ

That is, بِذِى سَلَامَتِكِ; the word rendered Author literally means Lord, or Master. In like manner بذى تَسْلَمَانِ and بذى تَسْلَمُونَ. [See also ذو.]

Go in safety—اِذْهَبْ بِذِى تَسْلَمُ

That is, اِذْهَبْ بِسَلَامَتِكَ: go with your safety, or with the Author of your safety to protect you. To two persons, اِذْهَبَا بِذِى تَسْلَمَانِ.

ذى is thus prefixed to a verb, as though governing it in the genitive, like آيَة in an instance mentioned under that word; but both are irregular, for only a noun signifying time is [regularly] prefixed to a verb, as in هٰذَا يَوْمُ يُفْعَلُ, meaning يُفْعَلُ فِيهِ. It is prefixed to no verb but تَسْلَمُ.

digitisation corrected كَذَا وَكَذَا for گَذَا وَكَذَاThe formula is كَذَا وَكَذَا throughout Lane. گ for ك, and the second half of the same phrase spells it correctly.

Lane cites “Bd in xxxix. 30” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given

1.1.1[The landed estate] was, or became, free from participation to him—سَلِمَتْ لَهُ الضَّيْعَةُ

Synonymous with خَلَصَت.

1.2He made him a captive—سلمهُ

[Apparently سَلَمَهُ, or perhaps سَلِمَهُ, for some verbs of this measure are transitive, as حَسِبَ and وَرِثَ.]

The maṣdar is سلم [apparently سَلَمٌ, see below].

1.3The serpent bit him—سَلَمَتْهُ الحَيَّةُ

The maṣdar is سَلْمٌ. Mentioned by Az, who adds that no one but Lth has said this.

1.4He tanned the skin with [قَرَظ, i.e. leaves of] the سَلَم [or mimosa flava]—سَلَمَ الجِلْدَ

The muḍāriʿ is سَلِمَ and the.

1.4.1He finished making the leathern bucket, and made it firm and sound—سَلَمَ الدَّلْوَ

The muḍāriʿ is سَلِمَ and the.

, [aor. سَلَمَ ,] inf. n. سَلَامَةٌ (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and سَلَامٌ (A, TA) and سَلَمٌ and سَلْمٌ and سِلْمٌ , (Bd 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], (S, Mgh,) or مِنَ الآفَةِ [from evil of any kind], (K,) 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: (Msb:) and سَلِمَ مِنَ العَيْبِ he was, or became, free from fault, defect, imperfection, blemish, or vice; syn. بَرِئَ . (Msb in art. برأ .) [Hence,] one says, لَا بِذِى تَسْلَمُ مَا كَانَ گَذَا وَكَذَا , (ISk, S, K, *) meaning No, by God [or Him] who maketh thee to be in safety, (ISk, S, K,) [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 .

(S, K.) 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, S:) it is not prefixed to any but this verb تَسْلَمُ [and its variations as above mentioned]. (Sb, M, K.) 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.) 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.) سَلَمَتْهُ الحَيَّةُ , (TA,) inf. n. سَلْمٌ , (M, K, TA,) The serpent bit him: (M, * K, * TA:) mentioned by Az, but he adds that no one but Lth has said this.

maṣdarتَسْلِيمٌ

Core sense — he saved him; he delivered it to him; he saluted himgenerated

2.1He (God) made him safe, secure, or free [from evils of any kind]—مِنَ الآفَاتِ

The maṣdar is تَسْلِيمٌ.

Also with مِنَ الآفَةِ [from evil of any kind], or مِنَ الأَمْرِ [from the affair].

[Freytag assigns the same meaning to اسلمهُ also, on the authority of the Ham, in which I find no explanation of this verb except one given later in this paragraph.]

2.1.1saluting one with a prayer for his safety, in his religion and his person, from evils—التَّسْلِيمُ

Synonymous with السَّلَامُ. Mbr: its interpretation is [the expressing a desire for] التَّخْلِيصٌ. Or it is saluting one with a prayer for his life; or by saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ [q. v. below, under سَلَامٌ]; synonymous with التَّحِيَّةُ.

[He so saluted, or greeted, him]—سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ

[Said of God, this virtually means سَلَّمَهُ, i.e. He saved him, and should be so rendered in the phrase commonly used after mention of the Prophet, صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ, May God bless and save him.]

He saluted him with the acknowledgment of his being Khaleefeh—سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ بِالخِلَافَةِ

That is, saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ: Salutation to you, or peace be on you, O Prince of the Faithful.

the salutation pronounced on finishing every two rek'ahs in prayer—التَّسْلِيمَةُ

[It is also the salutation pronounced after the last rek'ah of each of the prayers, addressed to the two guardian and recording angels; and سَلَّمَ means He pronounced either of those salutations.]

2.1.2He gave the thing to him, or delivered it to him—سلّم إِلَيْهِ الشَّىْءَ

The maṣdar is as above. اسلم اليه الشىءَ has the same meaning. [He resigned it to him.]

He delivered the deposit [to him, or] to its owner—سلّم إِلَيْهِ الوَدِيعَةَ

Also said as سلّم الوَدِيعَةَ لِصَاحِبِهَا.

He delivered the garment, or piece of cloth, to the tailor—اسلم الثَّوْبَ إِلَى الخَيَّاطِ

This has the same meaning as سلّمهُ إِلَيْهِ.

2.1.3

See form 4, in two places.

2.1.4The hired man gave himself up, or gave authority over himself, to the hirer—سلّم الأَجِيرُ نَفْسَهُ لِلْمُسْتَأْجِرِ

I left him in the power of one who desired to kill him or to wound him—أَسْلَمْتُهُ

Also سَلَّمْتُهُ.

He gave him up to destruction—اسلمهُ لِلْهَلَكَةِ

In this case with the preposition ل only.

He left, forsook, or deserted, the man, or the enemy; he abstained from aiding him—اسلم الرَّجُلَ

And he threw him into destruction. Also العَدُوَّ.

He left him [to that bane which was in him]—اسلمهُ لِمَا بِهِ

[Apparently referring to the bite of a serpent, or to any evil affection: see سَلِيمٌ, third sentence.]

2.1.5He committed his case to God—سلّم أَمْرَهُ إِلَى ٱللّٰهِ

اسلمهُ has the same meaning.

2.1.6He acknowledged the truth, or justice, of the claim; he conceded it—سلّم الدَّعْوَى

From سلّم الوَدِيعَةَ لِصَاحِبِهَا, explained above; it denotes an ideal delivering, or yielding, of a thing to another person.

He conceded that it was thus—سلّم أَنَّهُ كَذَا

2.1.7giving one's approval unreservedly to what is ordained, or decreed, by God—التَّسْلِيمُ

He assented to the command of God, or he submitted to it—سلّم لِأَمْرِ ٱللّٰهِ

It also signifies submitting to His commands, and abstaining from opposition where opposition is not becoming.

Also اسلم.

وَٱلْوَٰلِدَٰتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَـٰدَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ ۖ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُتِمَّ ٱلرَّضَاعَةَ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱلْمَوْلُودِ لَهُۥ رِزْقُهُنَّ وَكِسْوَتُهُنَّ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۚ لَا تُكَلَّفُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَا تُضَآرَّ وَٰلِدَةٌۢ بِوَلَدِهَا وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ لَّهُۥ بِوَلَدِهِۦ ۚ وَعَلَى ٱلْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَٰلِكَ ۗ فَإِنْ أَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَن تَرَاضٍ مِّنْهُمَا وَتَشَاوُرٍ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا ۗ وَإِنْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن تَسْتَرْضِعُوٓا۟ أَوْلَـٰدَكُمْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا سَلَّمْتُم مَّآ ءَاتَيْتُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۗ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

The mothers shall give such to their offspring for two whole years, if the father desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be Treated unfairly on account of her child. Nor father on account of his child, an heir shall be chargeable in the same way. If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no blame on them. If ye decide on a foster-mother for your offspring, there is no blame on you, provided ye pay (the mother) what ye offered, on equitable terms. But fear Allah and know that Allah sees well what ye do.

4:65

فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا

But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction.

8:43

إِذْ يُرِيكَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى مَنَامِكَ قَلِيلًا ۖ وَلَوْ أَرَىٰكَهُمْ كَثِيرًا لَّفَشِلْتُمْ وَلَتَنَـٰزَعْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَلَّمَ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

Remember in thy dream Allah showed them to thee as few: if He had shown them to thee as many, ye would surely have been discouraged, and ye would surely have disputed in (your) decision; but Allah saved (you): for He knoweth well the (secrets) of (all) hearts.

24:27

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَدْخُلُوا۟ بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ بُيُوتِكُمْ حَتَّىٰ تَسْتَأْنِسُوا۟ وَتُسَلِّمُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

O ye who believe! enter not houses other than your own, until ye have asked permission and saluted those in them: that is best for you, in order that ye may heed (what is seemly).

33:56

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا

Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.

(M.) [Freytag assigns the same meaning to اسلمهُ also, as on the authority of the Ham; in which I find no explanation of this verb except one which will be found later in this paragraph.] [Hence,] التَّسْلِيمُ is also syn. with السَّلَامُ , (S, K, 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, Msb.) [This, when said of God, virtually means سَلَّمَهُ , i. e.

4.1He paid in advance, or beforehand—أَسْلَمَ

See form 2, in nine places.

[The first of the meanings assigned there to this verb is, in my opinion, more than doubtful. In all its senses it seems to be properly transitive; when it is used intransitively, an objective complement appears to be understood.]

Synonymous with أَسْلَفَ, the price الثَّمَنَ being suppressed, though sometimes expressed; and so سلّم and تسلّم, as occurring in a tradition.

Whoever pays in advance for a thing shall not turn it over, or transfer it, to another than him—مَنْ تَسَلَّمَ فِى شَىْءٍ فَلَا يَصْرِفُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ

[He paid in advance for the wheat]—اسلم فِى الطَّعَامِ

But Kt says that he had not heard this verb so used except in this instance.

Also said as فى البُرِّ.

[He paid in advance for the thing]—فى الشَّىْءِ

Also سلّم.

[If he gives wool in advance for felt, or goats' hair for a garment of haircloth, it will not be allowable]—إِذَا أَسْلَمَ صُوفًا فِى لِبْدٍ أَوْ شَعَرًا فِى مِسْحٍ لَمْ يَجُزْ

[I paid in advance to him]—أَسْلَمْتُ إِلَيْهِ

4.1.1He resigned, or submitted, himself to God—اسلم لِلّٰهِ

He was, or became, resigned, or submissive, [نَفْسَهُ being understood;] and so استسلم.

[Or he was, or became, sincere in his religion, without hypocrisy, towards God: see مُسْلِمٌ.]

he entered into a state of resignation, or submission—اسلم

Here السِّلْم means الاِسْتِسْلَام.

4.1.2He was an unbeliever, or a denier of the unity of God; then he became a Muslim—كَانَ كَافِرًا ثُمَّ تَسَلَّمَ

He became a Muslim; and so تسلّم.

That is, أَسْلَمَ; or he entered the religion of الإِسْلَام.

the manifesting of humility, or submission, and outward conforming with the law of God—الإِسْلَامُ

As a principle of the law of God it also includes 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.

If there is with it firm belief in the heart, it is إِيمَانٌ; this is the doctrine of Esh-Sháfi'ee, but the doctrine of Aboo-Haneefeh makes no difference between the two terms.

Th puts it well and briefly: الاسلام is with the tongue, and الايمان is with the heart; and in explaining verse 48 of chapter 5 of the Qur'ān he says that every prophet has been sent with الاسلام, though the ordinances differ.

4.1.3I left it after I had been [engaged] in it—أَسْلَمْتُ عَنْهُ

[Apparently an affair.] Ibn-Buzurj.

اسلم also occurs intransitively.

[He was a pastor of sheep, or goats; then] he left them—كَانَ رَاعِىَ غَنَمٍ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ

4.1.4

[Freytag assigns to اسلم another meaning, “Adscendere fecit”, as from the Ham, p. 39; but this is apparently a mistake, into which he was led by a saying of Zuheyr cited there, which I read thus:]

shāhid

هَوِىَّ الدَّلْوِ أَسْلَمَهَا الرِّشَآءُ

[meaning: the descent, or as the descent, of the bucket that the well-rope has let go].

He was led to it also by the statement there that no reading of هوى should be preferred to that with ḍamma, though it has been said otherwise; whereas the correct reading, in my opinion, is هَوِىّ, agreeably with what follows.

Er-Riyáshee says, on the authority of AZ, that الهَوِىُّ, with fet-ḥ, means downwards, and with ḍamma, upwards; and he cites the saying above as an example of the word meaning downwards.

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]; (S, M, Mgh, Msb;) الثَّمَنَ [the price] being suppressed, though sometimes it is expressed; (Mgh;) as also سلّم ; (M;) and تسلّم , 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 Kt 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 (S) or فى البُرِّ (Mgh) [He paid in advance for the wheat], and فى الشَّىْءِ [for the thing], as also سلّم . (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]. (Msb.) Also [He resigned, or submitted, himself; نَفْسَهُ being understood: or] he was, or became, resigned, or submissive; (M, K;) and so استسلم : (S, M, Msb, K:) you say, اسلم لِلّٰهِ [He resigned, or submitted, himself, or he was, or became, resigned, or submissive, to God: see also an ex.

(S, * Msb.) 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-Sháfi'ee; but the doctrine of Aboo-Haneefeh 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 Kur, that every prophet has been sent with الاسلام , though the ordinances differ. (M.) One says also, أَسْلَمْتُ عَنْهُ , meaning I left it [app. an affair, as in an explanation in the TK,] after I had been [engaged] in it. (Ibn-Buzurj, K.) 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.) [Freytag assigns to اسلم another signification “ Adscendere fecit (vid. a سُلَّم ), ” as from the Ham, 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: 1 (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-h, is downwards; and with damm, upwards; and he cites the saying above as an ex. of the word as meaning downwards.

ISk: the Arabs pronounced it with hemz, contrary to analogy; or it should not be pronounced with hemz, though some do so, the original being استلم, because it is from سِلَامٌ [plural of سَلِمَةٌ], meaning “stones” [in the Mgh, from سَلِمَةٌ, meaning “a stone”; and in the Msb the plural of سَلِمَةٌ is said to be سَلَامٌ, like كَلَامٌ].

So Sb, who says that it does not denote the act of taking; or, according 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 by it. But according to IAar the original is with hemz, from المُلَآءَمَةُ, meaning الاِجْتِمَاعُ [“the coming together,” because denoting contact].

Abu-t-Tufeyl is related to have said:

He touched the Black Stone with his hooked staff, and kissed the hooked staff.

The primary meaning of الاِسْتِلَامُ is [said to be] the wiping, or stroking, of the سَلِمَة, i.e. the stone; afterwards it was used in relation to other things.

1[He took forty of the people of Mekkeh] peaceably—أَخَذَ ثَمَانِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ سِلْمًا

Peace, or reconciliation; and so سَلْمٌ, masculine and feminine; and سَلَمٌ and سَلَامٌ are like سِلْمٌ [in signification].

Or سِلْمٌ means the making peace, or becoming at peace or reconciled, with another or others; and so does سَلْمٌ; both are sometimes feminine as being synonymous with مُصَالَحَةٌ.

El-Aashà says:

shāhid

أَذَاقَتْهُمُ الحَرْبُ أَنْفَاسَهَاوَقَدْ تُكْرَهُ الحَرْبُ بَعْدَ السِّلِمْ

[War made them taste its draughts, and war is indeed disliked after peace].

He has transferred the vowel of the م to the ل in pausing; or he may have inserted a kesreh in imitation of the preceding kesreh. In the opinion of Sb it is not an instance like إِبِل, for in his opinion that is the only instance of its kind.

It is said in a tradition respecting El-Hodeybiyeh; it is also related as سَلْمًا or سَلَمًا. So explained by El-Homeydee in his “Ghareeb.” [See also سَلَمٌ below.]

1.1And do not say to him who offers you submission, You are not a believer—وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَى إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلسَّلَامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا

Also the same as سَلَامٌ, meaning self-resignation, or submission; which is also a meaning of سَلَمٌ.

So in the Qur'ān 4:96; some read السَّلَمَ.

Or السَّلَامَ here means the salutation of الإِسْلَام [by saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ]; or salutation together with submission by uttering the profession of الإِسْلَام; and so السَّلَمَ.

[Or the latter here means simply salutation; and this is apparently what is meant by saying that] السَّلَمُ is the substantive from التَّسْلِيمُ.

[According to SM,] this means the unreserved approval of what is decreed; and this is said to be meant by the reading السَّلَمَ mentioned above.

1.2Enter into the religion of El-Islám wholly—اُدْخُلُوا فِى السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً

And hence السِّلْمُ also signifies الإِسْلَامُ [the religion of the Muslims, because it is a religion of self-resignation, or submission].

So in the Qur'ān 2:204; some read السَّلْمِ there; or both mean submission and obedience to God. السَّلَمُ [also] has the former meaning.

2And a man who is at peace with respect to a man—وَرَجْلًا سِلْمًا لِرَجُلٍ

Also, and سَلْمٌ: a man, [and] a woman, who makes peace, or is at peace, with another; and in like manner a company of men.

So some read in the Qur'ān 39:30, where this meaning is said to be intended.

Or سِلْمًا, سَلْمًا, and سَلَمًا, three different readings in the place of the more common سَالِمًا, are all maṣdars of سَلِمَ used as adjectives [synonymous with سَالِمًا], or ذَا is suppressed before them.

[I am one who is at peace with respect to him who is at peace with me]—أَنَا سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمَنِى

A poet says, using the word in two different senses:

shāhid

لِأَهْلِكِ فَٱقْبَلِى سِلْمِىأَنَائِلُ إِنَّنِى سِلْمٌ

[O Náïleh — نَائِلُ being نَائِلَةٌ, a woman's name, apocopated — I am one who is at peace with respect to your family, so accept my submission].

Nounسَلَمٌ5 senses · 4 main

Core sense — payment in advance for a commodity; a captive; a kind of thorny treegenerated

See سَلَامٌ, and see also سِلْمٌ, in seven places.

1.1

In buying or selling, the substantive from أَسْلَمَ فِى الشَّىْءِ; and سَلَّمَ, meaning أَسْلَفَ, is the same as سَلَفٌ: any money, or property, paid in advance as the price of a commodity for which the seller has become responsible and which one has bought on description.

Or payment for a commodity to be delivered at a certain future period, with something added to the equivalent of the price current at the time of such payment, this being a cause of profit to the payer; 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.

But it is said in a tradition that the term سَلَمٌ, as meaning سَلَفٌ, was disliked; apparently because the former is applied to obedience and self-resignation, or submission, to God.

The making one captive. [See form 1, in the latter part of that paragraph.]

3He took him captive, without war—أَخَذَهُ سَلَمًا

A captive; because he submits himself.

[In the TK, بِالسَّلَمِ.] Or he brought him in a state of submission, not resisting; and likewise if wounded. El-Khattábee has thus explained the phrase in the tradition respecting El-Hodeybiyeh cited above, under سِلْمٌ.

4a land that gives growth to the trees called سَلَم—ذَاتُ أَسْلَامٍ

Also a sort of tree, [the mimosa flava of Forskål, who writes its Arabic name syllæm, and in Arabic characters سليم,] a species of the [kind of thorny trees called] عِضَاه [not غَضَاة, as in the lexicons of Golius and Freytag]; its leaves are the قَرَظ with which skin is tanned.

AHn says that its branches are long, like rods, and that it has no wood such as is used in carpentry, even if it grows large; it has slender, long thorns, grievous when they wound a man's foot, and a yellow [fruit such as is termed] بَرَمَة [ism waḥda of بَرَمٌ; see that word, and see also حُبْلَةٌ], which is the sweetest of the بَرَم in odour; and they tan with its leaves.

On the authority of the Arabs of the desert, it has a yellow flower containing a green grain, of sweet odour, with something of bitterness in it, of which the gazelles are very fond.

The ism waḥda is formed with ة, and the plural is أَسْلَامٌ; IB says that سِلَامٌ is the plural of the ism waḥda, as إِكَامٌ is of أَكَمَةٌ.

See also سَلِمٌ, in two places.

, (S, K, TA,) in its primary acceptation, (TA,) is syn. with سَلَامَةٌ , (S, K, TA,) as is also سَلَمٌ , (S, [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, (S, * [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 also سَلَامَةٌ : (Sb, M:) IKt 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.]: (Bd 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: (Bd 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; (Bd and Jel in xix. 48;) nor say to thee henceforward what would annoy thee, or be disagreeable, or evil, to thee. (Bd 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. (Bd 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-Ghowwás, 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 . (Ham p. 367.) You also say, لَا بِسَلَامَتِكَ مَا كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا [No, by thy safety, such and such things were not]. (S.) السُّلَامُ is also a name of God, (S, M, Msb, K,) [applied to Him in the Kur 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; (IKt, 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, K,) [applied thereto in the Kur 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.) See also سِلْمٌ , in four places. [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]; (Bd in iv. 96;) a subst. (S, Mgh, Msb, TA) from سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ , (Msb,) [i. e.] from التُّسْلِيمُ , (S, Mgh, TA,) like كَلَامٌ from التَّكْلِيمُ . (Mgh. [See 2, third sentence.]) In the saying in the Kur [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], (Bd,) [and means] there shall be neither good nor evil between us (Sb, M, Bd) 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 Kur, which was promulgated afterwards, at ElMedeeneh, 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. (Bd.) 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.] See also سَلِيمٌ . Also A kind of trees; (S, M, Msb, K;) they assert that they are evergreen; nothing eats them; but the gazelles keep to them, and protect themselves by their shade, but do not hide among them; and they are not great trees, nor of the kind called عِضَاه : (AHn, M:) they are also called سِلَامٌ ; (K;) or this is pl. of سَلَمَةٌ [n. un. of سَلَمٌ ], which is of another kind; like as إِكَامٌ is pl. of أَكَمَةٌ : (IB, TA:) n. un. with ة . (S, 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. ” (K.)

Nounسُلَامَى2 senses

Core sense — a certain bone of the foot; the bones of the fingers and toesgenerated

A noun of the feminine gender: a certain bone that is in the فِرْسِن [q. v., here meaning foot] of the camel; A'Obeyd says that this is the primary meaning.

Or the سُلَامَى of the camel are the bones of the فُرْسِن [or foot].

سُلَامَى is used alike as singular and plural, and sometimes it also has a plural, which is سُلَامَيَاتٌ; or it is a plural [or rather a collective noun], of which the singular [or ism waḥda] is سُلَامَيَةٌ, signifying the أَنْمَلَة of the fingers [but this is a strange explanation].

It is said that the last parts in which مُخّ [here meaning marrow, or pulp, and the like] remains in a camel when he has become emaciated are the سُلَامَى and the eye; and when it has gone from these, he has none remaining.

The plural سُلَامَيَاتٌ, or سُلَامَى, also signifies the bones of the أَصَابِع, so says Kh; and Zj adds that they are also called the قَصَب of the hand and of the foot, [i.e. of the fingers and of the toes; this seems to be the most common meaning in relation to a human being, namely, the phalanges of the fingers and of the toes,] that are between every two joints [and what are beyond the extreme joints] of the أَصَابِع.

According to Lth, the سلامى are the bones of the أَصَابِع [or fingers and toes] and the أَشَاجِع and the أَكَارِع, and are hard and compact bones like كِعَاب [plural of كَعْبٌ].

According to IAar, certain small bones, of the length of the إِصْبَع [or finger], or nearly so, or less, of which there are four, or three, [or apparently five,] in each hand and foot; [the meaning here seems to be the metacarpal and metatarsal bones, to which the terms سُلَامَى and سُلَامَيَاتٌ are sometimes applied: see أَشْجَعُ and مُشْظٌ.]

Ktr says that the سلاميات are the عُرُوق [apparently a mistake for عِظَام, i.e. bones] of the outer side of the hand and foot.

سلامى is also said to signify any small hollow bone, and any bone of a human being.

ISh says that in every horse are six سلاميات [apparently in the fore legs and the same in the hind legs; he seems to mean that the term سلامى is applied to each of the pastern-bones and to the coffin-bone, these three corresponding to the phalanges of a human being: see فَصٌّ].

It is not allowable to write سلامى otherwise than with what is termed the short alif.

سُلَامَى, like سُكَّارَى, [in the CK like سَكْرٰى, which is shown to be wrong by a verse cited in the M and TA,] also signifies the [south, or southerly, wind called] جَنُوب.
