Core sense — a road, or way; the bridge over Hellgenerated
1a road, or way; this is the original form—سِرَاطٌ
a road, or way—زِرَاطٌ
[See the second of these three words.]
Akh says that the people of El-Ḥijāz make it feminine, and Temeem make it masculine. See زُقَاقٌ.
1.1[the name of] a bridge stretched over the middle of Hell—الصِّرَاطُ
It is sharper than a sword and thinner than a hair, and the creatures will pass over it. The people of Paradise pass over it with their works, some like blinding lightning, some like the wind sent forth, some like race-horses, some running, some walking, and some dragging themselves along.
A crier will call out from the lower parts of the empyrean, “Lower your eyes until Fāṭimeh, the daughter of Moḥammad, (may God bless and save him, and may God be well pleased with her and her two sons,) passes over;” and the fire will say to the believer, “Pass over, O believer, for your light has put out my flame;” and at that point the feet of the people of the fire will slip.
