سَكَنَ , (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) aor.
سَكُنَ , (L,)
inf. n.
سُكُونٌ, (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) said of a
thing, (S, L,) of a thing that moves, (Mgh, Msb,)
It was, or
became, still, motionless, stationary, in
a state of rest, quiet, calm, or
unruffled, (
هَدَأَ,
Abu-l-'Abbás, L, or
قَرَّ, K,)
after motion; (Abu-l-'Abbás, L;)
its motion [
ceased, or]
went away;
(L, Msb;) and in like manner said of a man, and
of a beast: (Abu-l-'Abbás, L:) and said of anything such as wind and heat and cold and the
like; of rain; [and of pain;] and of anger;
[&c.;]
it was, or
became, still, calm, tranquillized, appeased, allayed, assuaged, or
quelled; [
it
died away, passed away, or
ceased to be: and
it
remitted, or
subsided; became alleviated, light,
slight, or
gentle:] and said of a man [or beast or
the like, and of a voice or sound],
he [or
it]
was,
or
became, still, or
silent. (L.) [Hence,] one
says,
سَكَنَ الدَّمْعُ, and
الدَّمُ, meaning
رَقَأَ [
The
tears, and
the blood, stopped, or
ceased to flow].
(S and Mgh in art.
رقاٌ.) [And one says of heat,
and cold, and pain, &c.,
سَكَنَ عَنْهُ It passed away
from him; quitted him. And
سَكَنَتِ النَّارُ The
fire became extinguished; or
became allayed or
assuaged; subsided; or
ceased to flame or
blaze
or
burn fiercely,] ―
2-b2- [Hence also,
It (a letter)
was or
became, quiescent; i. e.,
without a vowel
immediately following it; contr. of تَحَرَّكَ.] ―
2-b3-
And
سَكَنَ إِلَيْهِ, (Msb, [where the aor. is said to
be
سَكِنَ , but this is either a mistake or rare, for the
aor. accord. to common usage is
سَكُنَ , as in the Kur
vii.] 189 and xxx. 20,]) inf. n.
سُكُونٌ (Mgh, Msb)
and
سَكَنٌ, (Msb,)
He trusted to it, or
relied upon
it, so as to be, or
become, easy, or
quiet, in mind;
i. q. رَكَنَ إِلَيْهِ; (S and K &c. in art.
ركن;) and
اِطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهِ; (TA in art.
طمن;) [and
اِعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِ;
and
وَثِقَ بِهِ; &c.; and
he inclined to it; syn.
مَالَ إِلَيْهِ; and
became familiar with it; syn.
اِسُتَأْنَسَ بِهِ, and
أَلِفَ; agreeably with explanations
here following;] namely, a thing: (Msb:) and
سَكَنَ إِلَيْهَا, aor.
سَكُنَ ,
he trusted to her, or
relied upon
her, so as to be, or
become, easy, or
quiet, in
mind; &c., as above; syn.
اِطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهَا; (Ksh
and Bd in vii. 189, and Ksh in xxx. 20;) and
مَالَ إِلَيْهَا; (Ksh in vii. 189, and the same and
Bd in xxx. 20;) and
اِسْتَأْنَسَ بِهَا, and
أَلِفَ; (Bd
in the same two places;) namely, his wife. (Ksh
and Bd.) ―
2-b4- And
سَكَنَ الَّدارَ, (S, MA, Mgh, L,
Msb, K,) and
فِى الدَّارِ, (Mgh, Msb,) and
بِالمَكَانِ,
(L,) aor.
سَكُنَ , (L, Msb, JM,) inf. n.
سُكْنَى (MA,
Mgh, L, JM) and
سُكُونٌ (MA, L) and
سُكْنٌ,
(MA,) or ↓
سُكْنَى is a simple subst., and the
inf. n. is
سكن, (Msb, [accord. to which the latter
is app.
سَكَنٌ, for it is there said that the verb in
this case is like
طَلَبَ, the unaugmented inf. n. of
which is
طَلَبٌ, but this inf. n.
سَكَنُ I have not
found elsewhere, and what is generally used as
the inf. n. or quasi-inf. n. of the verb in this case
is ↓
سُكْنَى,]) or ↓
سُكْنَى is a subst. in the sense of
إِسْكَانٌ, as expl. below, (Mgh,) [or rather it is also
a subst. in this sense,]
He inhabited, or
dwelt or
abode in, the house [and
the place]. (MA, Mgh.)
وَلَهُ مَا سَكَنَ فِى ٱللَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ, in the Kur [vi. 13],
is from
السُّكْنَى (Ksh, Bd) or from
السُّكُونُ: (Bd:)
if from the former, (Ksh, Bd,) it signifies
To
Him belongeth what taketh up its abode in the
night and the day; (IAar, Ksh, * Bd, * L, Jel;)
meaning, what the night and the day include
within their limits: (Ksh, * Bd:) or, if from
السُّكُونُ, (Bd,)
what is still, or
motionless, (Abu-l-'Abbás, Bd, L,) and what moves; one of the
two contraries being mentioned as sufficient [to
show what is intended] without the other; (Bd;)
app. meaning the creation, collectively, or all
created beings. (Abu-l-'Abbás, L.) ―
2-b5- And
سَكَنَ,
(L, K,) aor.
سَكُنَ , (K,)
He became such as is termed
مِسْكِين [q. v.]; (L, K;) as also
سَكُنَ, (K,) and
↓
اسكن, and ↓
تسكّن, and ↓
تَمَسْكَنَ: (L, K:) and
[thus it means particularly]
he was, or
became,
lowly, humble, or
submissive; and
low, abject,
abased, and weak; as also ↓
اسكن, (L,) and
↓
تسكّن, and ↓
تَمَسْكَنَ; (S, * L;) the former of
these being the regular form, (S, L,) and the
more common and more chaste; (L;) the latter
of them anomalous, [from
المِسْكِينُ,] like
تَمَنْدَلَ
from
المِنْدِيلُ, and
تَمَدْرَعَ from
المِدْرَعَةُ; (S, L;)
and ↓
استكن, (L, Msb,) and ↓
اِسْتَكَانَ, of the
measure
اِفْتَعَلَ (L, Msb, K) from
المَسْكَنَةُ (L, K)
or from
السُّكُونُ, (Msb,) with
ا added, (L, Msb,)
the vowel of the medial radical letter being thus
rendered full in sound, (L, Msb, K,) or it is of
the measure
اِسْتَفْعَلَ from
الكِينَةُ, signifying “ evil
state or condition, ” (Msb,) or from
الكَيْنُ signifying “ the [piece of] flesh in the interior of the
vulva, ” because he who is lowly and abject is the
most obscure of mankind. (L. [See also arts.
كون and
كين.])
