maṣdarسَهْوٌmuḍāriʿيَسْهُو

Core sense — he was unmindful, forgetful, or neglectful of it; he forgot itgenerated

1.1he was unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, or heedless of a thing—فِيهِ

maṣdar سَهْوٌ and سُهُوٌّ.

Synonymous with غَفَلَ عَنْهُ. Or: he forgot it, or neglected it, and became unmindful of it, his mind turning to some other thing or affair; so explained in the M and T, which makes السَّهْوُ and الغَفْلَةُ and النِّسْيَانُ one in meaning.

According to Esh-Shiháb, السَّهْوُ is a slight غَفْلَة [or unmindfulness] of what is still within reach of the memory, as when a person's attention is roused by the least reminder, whereas النسيان means that it has passed out of the memory entirely; though all are used in one sense, relying carelessly on the reader's or hearer's understanding.

In the Msb a distinction is made between السَّاهِى and النَّاسِى: the latter is used of one who remembers when he is reminded, the former of one who does not.

According to IAth, سَهَافِى الشَّىْءِ means he neglected or omitted the thing unknowingly, and سَهَا عَنْهُ he neglected or omitted it knowingly. Or, as some say, السَّهْوُ is doing wrong out of unmindfulness, as when an insane person reviles another, which is pardonable, or when a man drinks wine and then some unpleasing action comes from him unintentionally, which is punishable.

he was unmindful in prayer—سَهَافِى الصَّلَاةِ
he was unmindful of prayer—عَنْهَا

Both are the same as غَفَلَ.

1.1.1she conceived during menstruation—حَمَلَتْ سَهْوًا

Said of a woman.

his mother conceived him during menstruation—حَمَلَتْ بِهِ أُمُّهُ سَهْوًا

on this sense This seems to come from the sense above, as implying an unexpected event.

1.1.2being still, or quiet, and gentle—السَّهْوُ

It also has the meaning of السُّكُونُ and اللِّينُ.

[Apparently as a maṣdar; though the S adds immediately that the plural is سِهَآءٌ, it seems that an early transcriber of the S omitted to insert after اللَّينُ the words وَالسَّاكِنُ وَاللَّيِّنُ: see سَهْوٌ below.]

he did it voluntarily, without being asked and without constraint—فَعَلَهُ سَهْوًا رَهْوًا

Or: quietly and calmly, without being hard or difficult.

he looked at him, or it, with motionless eye—سَهَا إِلَيْهِ
the eye ranges freely over it—العَيْنُ تَسْهُو فِيهِ

Synonymous with تَنْبَسِطُ.

1.2being easy to ride, as a quality of a camel—سَهَاوَةٌ

A maṣdar, of which the verb is سَهُوَ.

1.3[cattle] of which the end is not to be reached—مَالٌ لَا يُسْهَى وَلَا يُنْهَى
[there return in the evening to the sons of such a one, of cattle,] what cannot be numbered for multitude—يَرَاحُ عَلَى بَنِى فُلَانٍ مِنَ المَالِ مَا لَا يُسْهَىوَلَا يُنْهَى
Temeem went away, and will not be remembered, or will not be mentioned—ذَهَبَتْ تَمِيمُ فَلَا تُسْهَى وَلَا تُنْهَى

Or: what cannot be computed, or reckoned by conjecture.

That is, لَا تُذْكَرُ; a saying of El-Ahmar.

Nounسَهْوٌ2 senses

Core sense — easy; gentle in pace, said of a camel; cool and sweet, said of watergenerated

1easy; said of a mare—سَهْوَةٌ

A maṣdar used as an adjective: easy; applied to a man, to an affair, and to an object of want.

Said of a she-mule: easy in pace, not tiring her rider.

The adjective سَهْوٌ is not applied to a he-mule, so in the T; but it is applied to a he-camel, meaning easy to ride.

gentle, easy to ride; said of a she-camel—سَهْوَةٌ
gentle in pace; said of a he-camel—سَاهٍ رَاهٍ

So too the plurals سَوَاهٍ رَوَاهٍ, applied to camels. [And so سَهْوَآءُ, applied to a mare: a certain mare was named السَّهْوَآءُ because of the gentleness of her pace.]

a bow that is compliant and easy—قَوْسٌ سَهْوَةٌ
a gentle wind, or a quiet, gentle wind—رِيحٌ سَهْوٌ

1unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, heedless, or inadvertent—سَهْوَانُ

From this comes the proverb: Only the unmindful [literally, the sons of the unmindful] are such as need to be enjoined.

shāhid
إِنَّ المُوَصَّيْنَ بَنُو سَهْوَانْ

Or, as some say, بنو سهوان means all mankind, because all become unmindful; but the most correct explanation is that those who are enjoined to do a thing are subject to unmindfulness. It is applied to one who is unmindful of pursuing what he is commanded to do.

سهوان may be equivalent to the maṣdar سَهْوٌ, or it may be an adjective, the same as سَاهٍ, applied to Adam because he forgot his covenant; so بنو سهوان may mean the sons of Adam, and hence the unmindful.
