2.1

The marking of a garment with stripes or lines, like سِهَام, that is, arrows; see the ism mafʿūl below.

Dhu-r-Rummeh says, describing a dwelling — or rather its traces: [As though it were, after years had passed over it, in El-Ashyamán, a garment of El-Yemen in which was a marking with stripes or lines]

shāhid
كَأَنَّهَا بَعْدَ أَحْوَلٍ مَضَيْنَ لَهَابِالأَشْيَمَيْنِ يَمَانٍ فِيهِ تَسْهِيمُ

The adjective يَمَانٍ is often applied to a garment of this kind, and ثَوْبٌ is understood here.

الأَشْيَمَانِ, or as some call them الأَشْأَمَانِ, are two places, or two mountains, which Dhu-r-Rummeh mentions in several places in his poetry; see the article شيم.

maṣdarمُسَاهَمَةٌ سَهْمٌ

Core sense — he shot arrows with him; he drew lots with him; he shared with himgenerated

3.1

He shot arrows [سِهَام] with him in competition..

3.1.1I competed with him in drawing lots, and overcame him—سَاهَمْتُهُ فَسَهَمْتُهُ
I competed with him in drawing lots, and overcame him—سَاهَمَهُمْ فَسَهَمَهُمْ

And from this: he cast, or drew, lots with him; he practised sortilege with arrows with him, or competed with him in doing so.

Muḍāriʿ of this second verb سَهَمَ.

Or the meaning is: he did so with them, and overcame them.

Hence فَسَاهَمَ in the Kurʾān 37:141, where the object أَهْلَ السَّفِينَةِ is left out.

Qur’ān 37:141 approximate — somewhere between 37:107 and 37:182 Lane cites “Kur xxxvii. 141”
Qur’ān 37:141 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ

He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

3.1.2

And from this: he shared with him, فِى كَذَا, in such a thing. For an example see مُشِدٌّ, and for another نَاوَبَ.

3.1.3

And apparently: he contended with him for a thing; see 6.

Core sense — an arrow; an arrow for drawing lots; a lot, share, or portiongenerated

1figurative · مجاز — inferredthe arrow of the archer: the constellation Sagitta—سَهْمُ الرَّامِى

An arrow: one of what are called نَبْل, with the iron head and the feathers fixed on. Before its feathers and its iron head are fixed on, the سَهْم is generally called قِدْحٌ; see the article قدح.

According to some it means the iron head itself, the same as نَصْلٌ. ISh gives this as its meaning, and says: if someone picks up a نصل you say, “What is this سَهْم you have?”, but if he picks up a قِدْح you do not say this.

The نَصْل is the broad and long سَهْم, and may be nearly as long as the space between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the forefinger when they are stretched out; and the مِشْقَص is half the size of the نَصْل. [But this meaning of سَهْمٌ seems to be very rare, and little known.]

Plural of multitude سِهَامٌ; plural of paucity أَسْهُمٌ.

One of the northern constellations, made up of five stars, between the bill of الدَّجَاجَةُ (which is Cygnus) and النَّسْرُ الطَّائرُ (which consists of stars of Aquila), in the Great Milky Way, with its head towards the east and its notch towards the west.

Its length, as it appears to the eye when it is in the middle of the sky, is about two cubits.

the arrow: the same constellation—السَّهْمُ
1.1

Also the قِدْح, the featherless and headless arrow with which lots are drawn in the game called المَيْسِر; and the قِدْح with which one plays a game of hazard of any kind — that is, an arrow for sortilege, and a gaming-arrow.

The primary meaning of the word is the missile سَهْم; or the primary meaning is the قِدْح with which lots are drawn in the game called المَيْسِر.

Plural سِهَامٌ [and أَسْهُمٌ, as above]. See a verse cited under رَقِيبٌ.

1.2

Then applied to the thing won by the man whose arrow is successful in the game mentioned above.

1.3there is a share of the spoil for him, whether he is present or absent—كَانَ لَهُ سَهْمٌ مِنَ الغَنِيمَةِ شَهِدَ أَوْ غَابَ

And then applied also to a lot, share, or portion, of any kind; the same as سُهْمَةٌ. Plurals of the first: سُهْمَانٌ and سِهَامٌ [both plurals of multitude], and أَسْهُمٌ [plural of paucity], and the ism jamʿ سُهْمَةٌ, this last like أُخْوَةٌ.

the share of such a one, of this, is such a thing—سُهْمَةُ فُلَانٍ مِنْ هٰذَا كَذَا

Said in a tradition.

It may be from السِّهَامُ, meaning the arrows that are shuffled among those competing in sortilege, so that each one may take for himself what comes out for him as his share.

1.4the mast of the ship—سَهْمُ السَّفِينَةِ

So called as being likened to an arrow, because the curved yard of the sail, which resembles a bow, hangs from its top. See the article دقل. In Persian it is likewise called تِيرِ كِشْتِى.
