صَلَاآءَةٌ ذ : see what next follows.

صَلَايَةٌ ذ and ↓ صَلَاآءَةٌ, (S, M, Mgh, K,) the latter with ء because ↓ صَلَاآءٌ is used as the pl., [or rather coll. gen. n.,] but not by those who say صَلَايَةٌ, (Sb, M,) [for] the pl.

صِلِّيَانٌ ذ : see art. صل.

[ صَالٍ ذ is expl. by Freytag as meaning Heated or warmed (“ calefactus ”), and burnt: and the pl. is said by him to be صُلِىٌّ: but he names no authority: if this be correct, it must be a possessive epithet from صَلِىَ.]

صَالِيَةٌ ذ A support for the cooking-pot, such as is termed أُثْفِيَّةٌ. (MA.)

مَصْلِىٌّ ذ Roasted, broiled, or fried; as also ↓ صَلِىٌّ. (Ham pp. 13-14. [Both of these words are there without any syll. signs.]) It is said in a trad., أُتِىَ بِشَاةٍ مَصْلِيَّةٍ i. e.

(Z, TA.) One says, بَرَدَ المَوْتُ عَلَى مُصْطَلَاهُ. (AHeyth, L in art. برد: see 1 in that art.)

1 صّمَّ ذ , (S, M, Msb, K,) and صَمِمَ, which is extr., (M, K,) [first pers. of each صَمِمْتُ,] aor. يَصَمُّ, (M, Msb, K,) inf. n. صَمَمٌ (S, * M, Msb, K) and صَمٌّ; (M, K;) and ↓ أَصَمَّ; (S, M, Msb, K;) He was, or became, deaf; (M, * Msb, K; *) [or] he had a stoppage of the ear, and a heaviness of hearing.

(Msb.) ― -b2- [And He was, or became, as though he heard not. ] One says, صَمَّ عَنْهُ (assumed tropical:) [ He was as though he heard not him, or it; he was deaf to him, or it ]; (M;) and عَنْهُ ↓ أَصَمَّ [meaning the same]. (S, M.) ― -b3- [Hence صَمَّ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He or it, uttered, or made, no sound or noise; like him who, not hearing, returns no reply to a call or question; (assumed tropical:) was dumb, or mute. ] One says, صَمَّتْ حَصَاةٌ بِدَمٍ (tropical:) [ A pebble made no sound in falling upon the ground by reason of blood ]; i. e. the blood was so copious that if one threw a pebble into it no sound would be heard in consequence thereof, (As, S, M, Meyd, K, TA,) because it would not fall upon the ground: (As, S, Meyd:) the saying is a prov. (Meyd.) And hence the saying of Imra-el-Keys, صمِّى ا@بْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, (S, K,) in the following verse: بُدِّلْتُ مِنْ وَائِلٍ وَكِنْدَةَ عَدْ وَانَ وَفَهْمًا صَمِّى ا@بْنَةَ الجَبَلِ (assumed tropical:) [ I have been given in exchange, for Wáïl and Kindeh,' Adwán and Fahm: make no sound, O pebble: app. meaning that he would shed much blood]: (S, TA: but this verse is omitted in one of my two copies of the S:) or the meaning is, O echo; (S, M, Meyd, K;) so they assert: (AHeyth, TA:) or O calamity; the saying being a prov.; (Meyd, TA;) applied to the case of a severe calamity; as though meaning be dumb, O calamity; said by As to be applied in relation to an event deemed excessively foul or evil: (TA:) or O serpent; (Meyd, TA;) which is said to be the primary meaning: (Meyd:) or O rock. (A Heyth, K, TA. [See also the second of the sentences here following.]) One says also, صَمَّ صَدَاهُ (tropical:) [ His echo became dumb, or may his echo become dumb; ] meaning he perished, or may he perish. (S, K, TA.) And ↓ صَمِّى صَمَامِ [in the CK erroneously written صُمِّى] meaning (tropical:) Increase, O calamity: (S, K, TA:) or it is applied to a man who brings to pass a calamity, and means be dumb, O calamity: (TA:) or صَمَامِ means calamity, and war; but primarily, the serpent; and this saying, like صَمِّى ا@بْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, is a prov. said when two parties refuse to make peace, and persist in opposition; meaning answer not the charmer, O serpent, but continue as thou art wont to be. (Meyd.) ― -b4- صَمَمٌ in relation to stones, (Lth, TA,) or stone, (M,) [app. as an inf. n.,] signifies The being hard [ and solid (see أَصَمُّ)]; or [as a simple subst.] hardness [ and solidity ]: (Lth, M, TA:) and in relation to a spear-shaft, the being compact; or compactness.

2 صمّم ذ , said of a sword, (S, M, K, TA,) accord. to the K, signifies It struck the joint, and cut, or severed, it: or i. q. طَبَّقَ: but this is at variance with what is said by J and other leading authorities; which is as follows: (TA:) it penetrated into the bone, and cut, or severed, it; but when it strikes the joint, and cuts, or severs, it, one says طَبَّقَ; a poet says, describing a sword, يُصَمِّمُ أَحْيَانًا وَحِينًا يُطَبِّقُ [ It penetrates into the bone, &c., sometimes, and at one time it strikes the joint, &c.]: (S, TA:) or it passed into the bones: (M:) and ↓ صَمْصَمَ, said of a sword, signifies the same: (M, TA:) or تَصْمِيمٌ signifies a sword's penetrating into that which is struck with it without its causing any sound to be heard; from الصَّمَمُ in the ear. (Ham p. 326.) ― -b2- And hence تَصْمِيمٌ signifies also (tropical:) A man's keeping constantly, or perseveringly, to the thing that he purposes, until he attains [ it ]. (Ham ubi suprà.) One says, صَمَّمَ عَلَى كَذَا (assumed tropical:) He kept constantly, or perseveringly, to his opinion in respect of such a thing, after his desiring to do it.

(TA.) ― -b3- [Hence, اصمّهُ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He, or it, caused him to be as though he heard not. ― -b4- And hence, (assumed tropical:) He, or it, caused him, or it, to utter, or make, no sound or noise; like him who, not hearing, returns no reply to a call, or question; to be dumb, or mute. ] One says, أَصَمَّ ا@للّٰهُ صَدَاهُ (tropical:) [ May God make his echo to return no sound; ] meaning may God destroy him: (TA:) a prov., said in imprecating death upon a man; the صدي being that which returns the like of his voice, or cry, from the mountains &c.; and when a man dies, the صدي hears not from him anything that it should answer him, so that it is as though it were deaf. (Meyd.) [In the vulgar language, ↓ صَمَّمَ likewise signifies (assumed tropical:) He silenced him, reduced him to silence, or closed his mouth: so says De Sacy, in his Chrest. Arabe, sec. ed., iii. 379.] ― -b5- And اصمّهُ [in the CK اَصْمَمَهُ] also signifies He found him to be أَصَمّ [i. e. deaf ]. (S, M, K.)

And تصامّ عَنِ الحَدِيثِ (M, K) and تصامّهُ (M) He feigned (M, K) to his companion (M) that he was deaf to the narrative, or story. (M, K. *) تَصَامَمْتُهُ means تَصَامَمْتُ مِنْهُ [or عَنْهُ], i. e.

[See also الأَصَبُّ, and مُحَرَّمٌ, and شَهْرٌ.]) ― -b2- And [as that which is without a cavity is generally nonsonorous,] one says حَجَرٌ أَصَمُّ meaning (tropical:) Hard (S, M, Msb, K) and solid (S, Msb, K) stone: (S, &c.:) and صَخْرَةٌ صَمَّاآءُ (tropical:) a hard and solid rock: (K, TA:) or this latter signifies (assumed tropical:) a rock in which is no crack nor hole: pl. صُمٌّ. (TA.) And قَنَاةٌ صَمَّاآءُ (assumed tropical:) A compact spear-shaft. (M.) ― -b3- الصَّمَّاآءُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) The earth, or ground.

(K.) ― -b4- Also [app. (assumed tropical:) The vermiform appendage of the cœcum; ] the thin, or slender, extremity of the عفجة: (K: [the last word in this explanation is thus, without any syll. signs, in my MS. copy of the K and in the TA: in the CK, عَفِجَة: but the right reading is evidently عِفَجَة, which is said in the TA, in art. عفج, to be, like أَعْفَاجٌ, a pl. of عَفَجٌ and its dial. vars.: see this last word:] thus called [in my opinion because resembling a meatus auditorius that is closed, and therefore deaf; though said to be so called] because of its hardness. (TA.) ― -b5- And نَاقَةٌ صَمَّاآءُ (tropical:) A fat she-camel: (K, TA:) and, (K,) or as some say, (TA,) one that has just conceived, or become pregnant. (K, TA.) ― -b6- اِشْتِمَالُ الصَّمَّاآءِ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) which is forbidden in a trad., (TA,) is (assumed tropical:) The covering oneself with his garment, like [ as is done in the case of ] the شِمْلَة of the Arabs of the desert with their [ garments called ] أَكْسِيَة [pl. of كِسَاآء]; (A'Obeyd, S;) i. e. the turning the كِسَاآء, from the direction of one's right, upon his left arm and the part between his left shoulderjoint and neck, and then turning it a second time, from behind him, upon his right arm and the part between his right shoulder-joint and neck, so as to cover them both: (A'Obeyd, S, K:) or the wrapping oneself with the garment without making to it a place from which to put forth the hand: (Msb:) or, (K,) as the lawyers explain it, (A'Obeyd, S,) it is the wrapping one's body and arms with one garment, not having upon him another, and then raising it [in the K, as is said in the TA, يَضَعُهُ is erroneously put for يَرْفَعُهُ] on one of its sides, and putting it upon his shoulder, so that [...]

(TA.) ― -b2- See also صِمْصِمٌ. ― -b3- And (assumed tropical:) A strong camel: so says Aboo-' Amr Esh-Sheybánee: and he cites the saying, حَمَّلْتُ أَثْقَالِى مُصَمِّمَاتِهَا [as meaning I loaded their strong camels with my burdens ]: (TA:) or the مُصَمِّمَات, here mentioned, are the camels that do not utter a grumbling cry; patient of travel. (Ham p. 791.)

1 صَمَتَ ذ , (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb,) aor. صَمُتَ , (S, M, Msb,) inf. n. صَمْتٌ (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and صُمْتٌ (M, L, TA) and صُمُوتٌ and صُمَاتٌ, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) or the first of these is the inf. n. and the rest are simple substs.; (M;) and ↓ اصمت, (S, M, Msb,) inf. n. اـِصْمَاتٌ; (K;) and ↓ صمّت, inf. n. تَصْمِيتٌ; (S, K; but only the inf. n. is mentioned;) He was, or became, silent, mute, or speechless; syn. سَكَتَ: (S, A, Msb, K:) or he was, or became, long silent or mute or speechless: (M, Mgh:) but there is a difference between سَكَتَ and صَمَتَ; for the former is said of him who has the power, or faculty, of speech, but abstains from making use of it; whereas the latter is sometimes said of that which has not the power, or faculty, of speech. (Er-Rághib, MF and TA in art. سكت.) The Arabs say, (Ks, TA,) and it is said in a trad., (TA,) لَا صَمْتَ يَوْمًا اـِلَى اللَّيْلِ, or يَوْمٌ, or يَوْمٍ, i. e. There shall be no keeping silence a whole day [ until night ]. (Ks, K, TA. [In the “ Jámi' es-Sagheer, ” we find لا صُمَاتَ instead of لا صَمْتَ: and El-Munáwee, in his Commentary on that work, says that the keeping silence for a whole day is forbidden by the words of this trad. because it is an imitation of a Christian custom.]) And اـِذْنُهَا صُمَاتُهَا [in another trad., relating to the asking a virgin if she consent to be married, lit. Her permission is her silence, ] means her silence is like her permission, i. e. it suffices. (Msb.) One says also, جَاآءَ بِمَا صَاآءَ وَصَمَتَ (assumed tropical:) [ He brought what was vocal and what was mute ]; مَا صَاآءَ meaning sheep, or goats, and camels; and مَا صَمَتَ, gold and silver: (IAar, TA:) صَاآءَ in this saying is formed by transposition from صَأَى [q. v.]. (S in art. صأى.)

2 صمّتهُ ذ , (M, A, K,) inf. n. تَصْمِيتٌ; (S;) and ↓ اصمتهُ; (M, A, Msb, K;) He made him, or rendered him, silent, mute, or speechless: (S, A, Msb, K:) or he made him, or rendered him, long silent or mute or speechless.

(A, TA.) ― -b3- And صمّت الرَّجُلَ He inclined to the man who complained to him by reason of his complaint [ and so quieted him; or he cared for the complaint of the man and so quieted him; see مُصَمِّتٌ].

(TA.) ― -b3- And اصمتهُ He made it to be solid, not hollow; without a cavity. (A'Obeyd, S, K.) [For that which is without a cavity is generally non-sonorous.] ― -b4- And أُصْمِتَتِ الأَرْضُ, or أَصْمَتَت, (accord. to different copies of the K, the latter accord. to the O,) The land became altered (أَحَالَت) [ so as to be rugged, or hard, app. in consequence of its having been left untilled and unsown, ] at the end of two years, (O, K,) and had rugged patches of urine and dung. (O.) -A2- See also 1, first sentence. ― -b2- أَصْمَتَ also signifies He was, or became, tonguetied, (O, TA,) and spoke not; (TA;) said of a sick man. (O, TA.)

صُمْتَةٌ ذ a subst. from صَمَتَ [as such signifying Silence, muteness, or speechlessness; like صَمْتٌ used as a subst., and صُمْتٌ &c.; and like سُكْتَةٌ and سِكْتَةٌ]. (M, TA.) ― -b2- And (M, TA) A thing, (M, A, K, TA,) i. e. food, (A, K, TA,) or the like, (K, TA,) such as a date, or something pretty, (TA,) with which one silences [or quiets ] (M, A, K, TA) a child; (A, K, TA;) as also ↓ صِمْتَةٌ; (Lh, M, TA;) like سُكْتَةٌ [in this sense as well as in the former sense]. (S.) A date is called صُمْتَةُ الصَّبِىِّ [ The quieter of the child ], (M, TA,) and صُمْتَةُ الصَّغِيرِ [ The quieter of the little one ], so in a trad., because when the little one cries, or weeps, he is silenced with it. (TA.) One says, مَا عِنْدَهَا صُمْتَةُ لَيْلَةٍ She has not as much as would silence [or quiet ] her child during one night. (A.) And مَا لَهُ صُمْتَةٌ لِعِيَالِهِ and ↓ صِمْتَةٌ He has not what would feed and silence [or quiet ] his household, or family. (Lh, M.)

مَا ذُقْتُ صَمَاتًا ذ [ I did not taste, or have not tasted, ] anything. (K.)

رَمَاهُ بِصُمَاتِهِ ذ , (AZ, K, A, K, [in a copy of the M بصِمَاتِه, but this I think a mistranscription,]) or ↓ بِصُمَاتَةٍ, (K accord. to the TA, and so in the M in art. سكت,) [both probably correct, for] one says also بِسُكَاتِهِ (AZ, S) and بِسُكَاتَةٍ, (S, M, A, K, in art. سكت,) He (a man, AZ, S, or God, A) smote him, or afflicted him, with a thing that silenced him. (AZ, S, M, A, K.) [See رَمَاهُ بِسُكَاتٍ, in art. سكت.] ― -b2- صُمَاتٌ signifies also Thirst: (As, TA:) or quickness of thirsting, (M, K, TA,) in men and in beasts. (M, TA.)

And هُوَ بِصِمَاتِهِ He is at the point of [ attaining ] his purpose: (M, TA:) Aboo-Málik says that صِمَاتٌ signifies قَصْدٌ [i. e. purpose, intention, &c.]. (TA.)
