[The term صِلَةٌ is also applied, under أذن, to لَهُ in the phrase مَأْذُونٌ لَهُ.]

Often applied to the connective preposition by which a verb or ism fāʿil is transitive, together with the noun or pronoun it governs; as to لَهُ in أَذَنَ لَهُ. The preposition alone is called حَرْفُ الصِّلَةِ.

Also applied to a preposition by which a passive verb or ism mafʿūl is connected with its subject, together with that subject; as لَهُ in أُذِنَ لَهُ. In this case it is a maṣdar in the sense of an ism mafʿūl, namely of مَوْصُولٌ. (IbrD.)

It is used in this sense especially with reference to passages in the Qur'ān.
