Form 1فَسُحَ5 senses · 2 main

muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarفُسَاحَةٌ فَسْحٌ

Core sense — it was, or became, spacious, roomy, wide; he made room for himgenerated

1.1it (a place) was, or became, spacious, roomy, wide, or ample—افسح

With damm, like كَرُمَ; the form فَسَحَ in the CK is a misprint.

maṣdar فُسَاحَةٌ or فَسَاحَةٌ (the first of these apparently a mistranscription) and فُسْحَةٌ.

The same is said with تفسّح and with انفسح.

1.2he made room, or ample room, for him—فَسَحَ لَهُ

maṣdar فَسْحٌ and فُسُوحٌ; also تفسّح and افسح.

فِى المَجْلِسِ: in the sitting-place, or in the assembly.

make room, or ample space, in the sitting-place, or in the assembly—تَفَسَّحُوا فِى المَجْلِسِ

make room, or ample space, one for another—تَفَا سَحُوا

Synonym تَوَسَّعُوا. Both verbs have nearly the same meaning; each may be rendered "make room", but the second more properly "make room one for another".

on this sense The second occurs in the reading of El-Hasan, and the first in that of others, in the Kur 58:12.

Lane cites “Kur lviii. 12” — Flügel numbering, not yet mapped

1.2.1move away from me, or withdraw to a distance from me—اِفْسَحْ عَنِّى

So explained in Ksh and Bd on 58:12.

Lane cites “Bd in lviii. 12” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given

1.2.2figurative · مجاز — inferredthe making of wide steps—فَسْحٌ

As maṣdar of فَسَحَ; and so also فَيْسَحَى.

make wide the spaces between each two punctures of the needle—اِفْسَحِ الخُطَى

Said by an Arab of the Desert, of the Benoo-'Okeyl, to a man who was sewing a water-skin for him, and mentioned in the T as heard by its author; the point being that the punctures should not tear.

1.2.3the commander, or governor, wrote a pass for him—فَسَحَ لَهُ الأَمِيرُ فِى السَّفَرِ

The writing meant is a فَسْح [q. v.].

58:11

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا۟ فِى ٱلْمَجَـٰلِسِ فَٱفْسَحُوا۟ يَفْسَحِ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا قِيلَ ٱنشُزُوا۟ فَٱنشُزُوا۟ يَرْفَعِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ دَرَجَـٰتٍ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

O ye who believe! When ye are told to make room in the assemblies, (spread out and) make room: (ample) room will Allah provide for you. And when ye are told to rise up, rise up Allah will rise up, to (suitable) ranks (and degrees), those of you who believe and who have been granted (mystic) Knowledge. And Allah is well-acquainted with all ye do.
