Form 1صَارَ كَذَا9 senses · 3 main
maṣdarصَيْرُورَةٌ مَصِيرٌ صَيْرٌmuḍāriʿيَصِيرُ يَصُورُهُ

Core sense — he became such a thing; he came to such a state, or place; he cut itgenerated

1.1Zeyd became a man; he reached the state of a man—صَارَ زَيْدٌ رَجُلًا

He, or it, reached the state, or condition, of such a thing; became such a thing.; maṣdars صَيْرُورَةٌ and صَيْرٌ. In this sense the verb is like كَانَ [in meaning, when the latter is non-attributive, and in having its subject in the nominative case and its predicate in the accusative].

Zeyd became rich, not having been so before—صَارَ زَيْدٌ غَنِيًّا
the expressed juice became wine—صَارَ العَصِيرُ خَمْرًا
he came to be in a state in which he had nothing in his possession—صَارَ لَا شَىْءَ عِنْدَهُ
he set about, or took to, doing such a thing—صَارَ يَفْعَلُ كَذَا

That is, he became occupied, or engaged, in doing such a thing; like جَعَلَ.

he came to be doing nothing; he became unoccupied—صَارَ لَا يَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا
he came to be silent; he became speechless—صَارَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ
he began to reflect upon such a thing—صَارَ يَتَفَكَّرُ فِى كَذَا
1.1.1the thing, or affair, or case, came eventually to such a state, or condition—صَارَ الأَمْرُ إِلَى كَذَا

Muḍāriʿ as above, which is irregular, the regular form being مَصَارٌ, like مَعَاشٌ, صَيْرٌ, and صَيْرُورَةٌ.

It is explained as رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ, but that is a loose explanation; the meaning is that the thing came eventually to such a state or condition.

The difference between مَصِيرٌ and مَرْجِعٌ is that the first necessarily implies that the later state or condition differs from the earlier one, while the second does not.

Here the later state or condition is likened to a place.

Lane cites “Bd in iii. 156” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
1.1.2he, or it, reached a place—صَارَ
[Zeyd came, or went, or pursued a course that brought him, to ʿAmr]—صَارَ زَيْدٌ إِلَى عَمْرٍو
[I came to such a one]—صِرْتُ إِلَى فُلَانٍ

This is similar to the phrase in the Qur'ān 3:27, وَإِلَى ٱللّٰهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ [And to God, as the final end, is the course of every human being].

[Hence أًلَا إِلَى ٱللّٰهِ تَصِيرُ ٱلْأُمُورُ in the Qur'ān 42, last verse, which Bd explains by adding the words بِٱرْتِفَاعِ الوَسَائِطِ وَالتَّعَلُّقَاتِ, the meaning being that to God are things, or events, referred, mediately and dependently: in the commentary of the Jel explained as meaning تَرْجِعُ.]

1.1.3such a thing came to, or befell, him, or it—صَارَ لَهُ كَذَا

And hence: he, or it, came to have, or became possessed of, such a thing.

1.1.4he found himself in a desert, or waterless, land—صَارَ فِى أَرْضِ فَلَاةٍ

The same as وَقَعَ فِيهَا (under the root وقع).

he entered the season called ربيع—صَارَ فِى الرَّبِيعِ

The same as أَرْبَعَ, which is explained as meaning دَخَلَ فِى الرَّبِيعِ (under the root ربع).

1.2the returning of seekers after herbage to the watering-places—صَيْرٌ
the man stayed, or abode, at the water—صَارَ الرَّجُلُ

.

the people stayed, or abode, at the water—صَارَ النَّاسُ المَآءَ
1.3he cut it; and he clave it, or split it—صَارَهُ

First person صِرْتُهُ; muḍāriʿ as above. A dialectal variant of صَارَهُ, whose muḍāriʿ is يَصُورُهُ.

1.3.1he turned his face towards a person or thing—صَارَ وَجْهَهُ

In the same way — as a dialectal variant of صَارَهُ, whose muḍāriʿ is يَصُورُهُ — it means: he made it incline, or lean.

also يَصُورُ (under the root صور).

I twisted his neck—صِرْتُ عُنُقَهُ

On the phrase فَصِرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ in the Qur'ān 2:262, according to one reading, see Form 1 under the root صور.

Qur’ān 2:260 approximate — somewhere between 2:259 and 2:273 Lane cites “Kur ii. 262”
1.3.2he confined, or restricted, him, or it—صَارَهُ

. The same as حَبَسَهُ.

أُمُّ صَيُّورٍ means a confused and doubtful affair through which there is no way of passing, as in the phrase وَقَعَ فِى أُمِّ صَيُّورٍ, mentioned by Yaakoob [ISk] in the “Alfāḍh”, according to some of the copies of that work.

It originally means a mountain, or hill, of the kind called هَضْبَة, having no pass through it; but the word is more probably صَبُّور [see the root صبر].
