Az says that, in his opinion, the words of the Kur [xvii. 80] أَقِمَ ا@لصَّلَاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ (TA) mean Perform thou prayer from the declining of the sun at noon: so that the command expressed by these words with what follows them includes the five prayers: (Mgh, * TA:) for by the دلوك are included the first prayer [of noon] and that of the عَصْر; and by the غَسَق of night, the two prayers [of sunset and nightfall] of which each is called عِشَاآء; and by the قُرْاآن of the فَجْر, the prayer of daybreak: if you make the دلوك to be the setting, the command is restricted to three prayers: in the language of the Arabs, دُلُوكٌ is said to be syn. with زَوَالٌ; and therefore the sun is said to be دَالِكَةٌ when it is declining at noon and when it is setting. (TA.) [Respecting the phrase دَلَكَتْ بَرَاحِ or بِرَاحِ, accord. to different readings, occurring at the end of a verse, see بَرَاحِ, and see also رَاحَةٌ in art. روح.] It is said in [one of the works entitled] the “ Nawádir el-Aaráb, ” that دَلَكَتِ الشَّمْسُ signifies The sun became high; like دَمَكَت and عَلَت and اِعْتَلَت.
