Form 1صَمَتَ1 sense
muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarصَمْتٌ إِصْمَاتٌ

Core sense — he was, or became, silent, mute, or speechlessgenerated

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe was, or became, silent, mute, or speechless; or he was long silent—اصمت

maṣdar صَمْتٌ, صُمْتٌ, صُمُوتٌ and صُمَاتٌ, or the first of these is the maṣdar and the rest are simple nouns.

.

he was, or became, silent, mute, or speechless—صمّت

Maṣdar تَصْمِيتٌ.

The synonym is سَكَتَ. Er-Rāghib: there is a difference between سَكَتَ and صَمَتَ, for the former is said of one who has the power of speech but keeps from using it, while the latter is sometimes said of what has no power of speech; see also art. سكت.

there shall be no keeping silence a whole day [until night]—لَا صَمْتَ يَوْمًا إِلَى اللَّيْلِ

The Arabs say this, and it occurs in a tradition; also يَوْمٌ and يَوْمٍ.

[In the “Jámiʿ es-Sagheer” we find لا صُمَاتَ instead of لا صَمْتَ, and El-Munáwee, in his commentary on that work, says that keeping silence for a whole day is forbidden by the words of this tradition because it imitates a Christian custom.]

her permission is her silence—إِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا
he brought what was vocal and what was mute—جَآءَ بِمَا صَآءَ وَصَمَتَ

In another tradition, about asking a virgin whether she consents to be married; literally “her permission is her silence,” meaning her silence is like her permission, i.e. it suffices.

مَا صَآءَ means sheep, or goats, and camels; مَا صَمَتَ means gold and silver.

صَآءَ in this saying is formed by transposition from صَأَى [q. v.]; see art. صأى.

Core sense — I met him in a desert place where there was no onegenerated

1[I met him, or found him,] in a desert place, where there was no one to cheer by his company—بِبَلْدَةِ إِصْمِتَ

So Abu Zeyd explains it; and the second phrase is explained in the same way in the M.

[I left him] in the desert, or waterless desert—بِبَلْدَةِ إِصْمِتَ

According to Kr the phrase is بِبَلْدَةٍ إِصْمِتَ, but the phrase commonly known is the following.

Also تَرَكْتُهُ بِبَلْدَةِ إِصْمِتَ; or the meaning is: in such a place that it was not known where he was.

[I left him] in the desert, or in a place where it was not known where he was—بِصَحْرَآءِ إِصْمِتَ
[I left him] in the desert, or waterless desert—بِوَحْشِ إِصْمِتَ

Also إِصْمِتَةَ; both are mentioned, without explanation, by Lh, and mean as above, or apparently in the desert, or waterless desert.

And some say بِوَحْشِ الإِصْمِتَيْنِ.

اصمت is as above, with the disjunctive alif, and also with the conjunctive [i.e. ٱصْمِتَ]. It is imperfectly declinable, because it combines the quality of a proper name with the feminine gender or with the measure of a verb.

It is said that the desert, or waterless desert, is so called because in it one fears much, as though everyone there said to his companion اصمت [i.e. اُصْمُتْ or أَصْمِتْ, “Be silent”]; just as they say of a مَهْمَه that it is so called because a man there says to his companion مَهْ مَهْ.

According to some, the word إِصْمِت is an imperative changed into a noun, and so the ء is disjunctive; it may also be with kesr, according to a dialectal variant [of the imperative] that has not reached us.

According to Yákoot it is the name of a particular desert, but others say that the proper name [of that desert] is وَحْشُ إِصْمِتَ; see art. وحش.
