And it is said in a form of prayer, سُقْيَا رَحْمَةٍ وَلَا سُقْيَا عَذَابٍ [We ask of Thee a sending down of a rain of mercy, and not a sending down of a rain of punishment ]; meaning, send Thou down upon us a rain in which shall be benefit, without injury, and without laying waste. (Msb.) One says also أَرْضٌ خَافِضَةُ السُّقْيَا Land easy of irrigation [either by the rain or otherwise]: (K in art. خفض:) and the contr. is termed رَافِعَةُ السُّقْيَا.
