1.1a continual, perpetual, constant, or fixed, punishmentعَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

Qur'ān 37:9.

Qur’ān 37:9 approximate — somewhere between 37:1 and 37:12 Lane cites “Kur. xxxvii. 9”
Qur’ān 37:9 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.2to Him shall be rendered obedience perpetually, or constantlyلَهُ الدِّينُ وَاصِبًا

Qur'ān 16:54; so Zj explains it.

Or it may mean: to Him shall be rendered obedience, whether a man is content with what he is commanded to do or not, and whether it is easy for him or not; to Him shall be rendered obedience even if it brings excessive fatigue.

1.3a desert far-extending, [as though] without endمَفَازَةٌ وَاصِبَةٌ

It extends so far as scarcely to have an end; very far-extending.

Qur’ānic occurrences وَاصِب
16:52

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth, and to Him is duty due always: then will ye fear other than Allah?

37:9
دُحُورًا ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ

Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,

Occurrences of this form in the Qur’ān, not Lane’s choice of verse. They show the word in use; they do not say which sense above applies. Where more occur than are shown, the shortest āyāt are chosen.
