. These meanings are not in any of the three lexicons mentioned above.

1.1.2
صَلَى يَدَهُ بِالنَّارِ [said to be a mistake]: see form 2.
1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhe was, or became, burned by the fire—صَلِىَ النَّارَ
maṣdar صَلًى or صُلِىٌّ, or both [صَلْيًا being a mistranscription for صُلِيًّا]; also صِلِىٌّ and صِلَآءٌ, and صَلَآءٌ, but this last is a mistake for صَلًى.
he was, or became, burned by the fire—بِالنَّارِ
he endured, or suffered, the heat of the fire—تصلّى النَّارَ
he endured the heat of the fire, or he felt the heat of the fire—تصلّى حَرَّ النَّارِ
he endured the heat of the fire, or he felt the heat of the fire—اصطلاهُ
he entered into the fire—صَلِىَ النَّارَ
Or he endured, or suffered, the heat of the fire; or he felt the heat of the fire.
For an example see بَلْهَ, in the article بله.
he was tried by fire—صَلِىَ بِالنَّارِ
Er-Rāghib: he was tried, بُلِىَ, by fire; and so بِكَذَا [by such a thing, as though by fire].
[In the Qur'ān, where there are many examples of it (4:11, 14:34, 17:19, and so on), it is always transitive by itself, without بِ.]
he endured the heat and severity of the affair, and of the fighting—صَلِىَ بِالأَمْرِ
Aboo-Zubeyd says: [And I have suffered the heat and violence of their war, as one affected with cold suffers from the coldest and most abundant hoar-frost]
shāhidفَقَدْ تَصَلَّيْتُ حَرَّ حَرْبِهِمُكَمَا تَصَلَّى المَقْرُورُ مِنْ قَرَسِ
Also بِالحَرْبِ, تصلّى الأَمْرَ, and الحَرْبَ.
1.3the man kept to, or clung to, a thing—صَلِىَ الرَّجُلُ
The same as لَزِمَ; and so اصطلى. Zj holds صَلَاةٌ [explained in the article صلو] to be derived from this, because it is a keeping, or clinging, to what God has appointed.
Hence also, it is said, مَنْ يُصَلَّى فِى النَّارِ, that is, يلزم [apparently يُلْزَمُ, meaning مَنْ يُلْزَمُ النَّارَ, he who is made to keep, or cling, to the fire; nearly agreeing with صَلَّاهُ النَّارَ as explained above].
1.4I struck, or beat, that part of the back called صَلًا; or I hit that part—صَلَيْتُ الظَّهْرَ
But this is irregular; by rule it should be صَلَوْتُهُ, as Hudheyl say. [See form 1 in the article صلو.]

The man kept to, or clave to, a thing]; and so اصطلى : whence Zj holds صَلَاةٌ [expl. in art. صلو ] to be derived; because it is a keeping, or cleaving, to that which God has appointed: and hence also, [it is said,] مَنْ يُصَلَّى فِى النَّارِ , i. e. يلزم [app. يُلْزَمُ , meaning مَنْ يُلْزَمُ النَّارَ He who is made to keep, or cleave, to the fire; nearly agreeing with صَلَّاهُ النَّارَ as expl. above from the M and K]. (TA.) And صَلَيْتُ الظَّهْرَ means I struck, or beat, that part of the back which is called صَلًا : or I hit that part: but this is extr.; for by rule it should be صَلَوْتُهُ , like as Hudheyl say.
