Root entry · 1 derived lemma

اآمِنٌ اآمن Secure, safe, or free from fear; as also ↓ أَمِينٌ (Lh, T, * S, * M, Msb, K) and ↓ أَمِنٌ. (M, K.) Hence, in the Kur [xcv. 3], ↓ وَهذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ [ And this secure town ]; (Akh, Lh, T, S, M;) meaning Mekkeh. (M.) بَلَدٌ اآمِنٌ and ↓ أَمِينٌ means A town, or country, or district, of which the inhabitants are in a state of security, or confidence, therein. (Msb.) It is also said in the Kur [xliv. 51], ↓ اـِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ, meaning [ Verily the pious shall be in an abode ] wherein they shall be secure from the accidents, or casualties, of fortune. (M.) [And hence,] ↓ الأَمِينُ is one of the epithets applied to God, (Mgh, K,) on the authority of El-Hasan; (Mgh;) an assertion requiring consideration: it may mean He who is secure with respect to the accidents, or casualties, of fortune: but see المُؤْمِنُ, which is [well known as] an epithet applied to God. (TA.) اآمِنُ المَالِ means What is secure from being slaughtered, of the camels, because of its being highly prized; by المال being meant الاـِبِل: or, as some say, (tropical:) what is highly esteemed, of property of any kind; as though, if it had intellect, it would feel secure from being exchanged. (M.) You say, أَعْطَيْتُهُ مِنْ اآمِنِ مَالِي, (K, TA, [in the CK اآمَنِ,]) meaning (tropical:) I gave him of the choice, or best, of my property; of what was highly esteemed thereof; (K, TA;) and مَالِى ↓ مِنْ أَمْنِ which Az explains as meaning of the choice, or best, of my property. (TA: [in which is given a verse cited by ISk showing that أَمْن, thus used, is not a mistranscription for اآمِن.]) And اآمِنُ الحِلْمِ means Steadfast in forbearance or clemency; of whose becoming disordered in temper, and free from self-restraint, there is no fear. (M.) ― -b2- See also أَمِينٌ, in three places: ― -b3- and see اَمِنٌ. -A2- See also أَمِينٌ, in two places.
