Lane's Lexicon (Edward Lane, 1863)

سَقَامٌ ذ : see سُقْمٌ.

سَقِيمٌ ذ Diseased, disordered, distempered, sick, or ill; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓ سَقِمٌ: (TA:) or long diseased &c.: (Msb:) pl. of the former سِقَامٌ, (Msb, K,) like كِرَامٌ pl. of كَرِيمٌ. (Msb.) See also مِسْقَامٌ, and مُسْقِمٌ. The phrase اـِنِي سَقِيمٌ, occurring in the Kur [xxxvii. 87], as a saying of Abraham, is expl. by some as meaning [ Verily I am ] smitten with the طَاعُون [or pestilence ]: or the meaning is, I shall be diseased at a future time, when the period shall have come; and it is said that he inferred, from looking at the stars, the time of a fever's coming to him: or it means (assumed tropical:) verily I am sick of your worshipping what is not God: IAth says that, in truth, it is one of his three lies; all of which were for the sake of God and his religion. (TA.) You say also قَلْبٌ سَقِيمٌ (tropical:) [ A diseased, a sickly, or an unsound, heart ]: and فَهْمٌ سَقِيمٌ (tropical:) [ Diseased, unsound, faulty, or weak, understanding ]: and كَلَامٌ سَقِيمٌ (tropical:) [ Unsound, faulty, or weak, language ]. (TA.) And هُوَ سَقِيمُ الصَّدْرِ عَلَيْهِ (tropical:) He is affected with rancour, malevolence, malice, or spite, against him. (TA.)

سَوْقَمٌ ذ A kind of tree resembling the خِلَاف [q. v.], but not the same as this latter: (TA:) or a kind of large tree, (AHn, K, TA,) exactly like the أَثْأَب, (AHn, TA,) which is a tree of the figkind, (TA in art. ثأب,) except that it is taller than the latter, and less broad, having a fruit like the fig (التِين), which, when green, is [ like ] stone in hardness, but when it ripens it becomes somewhat yellow, and soft, and very sweet, and of a pleasant odour, and people send it, one to another, as a present. (AHn, TA.) [Forskål, in his Flora Aegypt. Arab., p. cxxiv., mentions سقم, which is evidently a mistranscription for سوقم, and which he writes in Italic letters “ sokam, ” as one of the names of the ficus sycomorus; and app. of another species or variety of fig which he terms ficus sycomoroides. ]

مُسْقِمٌ ذ ↓ رَجُلٌ سَقِيمٌ A man who is diseased and whose family are diseased. (TA.)

مَسْقَمَةٌ ذ [ A cause of disease: a word of the same class as مَجْبَنَةٌ and many others of the measure مَفْعَلَةٌ]: see an ex. voce كِظَّةٌ.

مِسْقَامٌ ذ i. q. ↓ سَقِيمٌ [ Diseased, disordered, &c.]: (TA:) or [rather, agreeably with analogy,] much, or often, diseased &c.: (S, TA:) and accord. to Lh it is also applied as an epithet to a female. (TA.)

سَقْمُونِيَا ذ , (so in copies of the K,) or سَقَمُونِيَاآءُ, (Mgh, Msb,) said to be an ancient Greek word, [ Σκαμμωηία ] or, as some say, (Msb,) Syriac, (Mgh, Msb,) [ Seammony; ] a certain plant, from the hollows of which is extracted a mucilage, which is dried, and is called by the name of its plant: it is more repugnant to the stomach and the bowels than all the laxatives; but it is rendered good by aromatic substances, such as pepper and ginger and aniseed: the weight of six barleycorns thereof to twenty eases the yellow bile, and noxious viscosities, from the most remote parts of the body; and a portion thereof with a portion of تُرْبُد, or تِربَد, [so in different copies of the K, or تُرْبَذ, or تِرْبَذ, i. e. turpeth, ] in fresh milk, taken fasting, will not leave a single worm in the belly: it is wonderful in that effect, and proved by experiment. (K.)

1 سَقَاهُ ذ , aor. يَسْقِيهِ, (K,) inf. n. سَقْىٌ; (TA; [see also سِقَايَةٌ, which is likewise said to be an inf. n. of the same verb;]) and ↓ سقّاهُ, (K,) with teshdeed; (TA;) and ↓ اسقاهُ; (K, TA; [in the CK, erroneously, اسْتَقاهُ;]) all have one meaning; (TA;) [i. e. He gave him to drink, generally water, often milk, and sometimes poison or some other thing: and the first often signifies he watered him, namely, a beast; and in like manner seed produce &c., i. e. irrigated it; as will be shown by what follows:] or سَقَاهُ [is said when you mean he gave him drink ] لِشَفَتِهِ [ to his lip ], (S,) or بِالشَّفَةِ [ by means of the lip ], as also ↓ سقّاهُ; and ↓ اسقاهُ means he directed him to water, (K,) or he watered (سَقَى) his cattle or his land: (S, * K:) or both of them, (K, TA,) i. e. سَقَاهُ and ↓ اسقاهُ, (TA,) signify he assigned to him, or gave to him, (جَعَلَ لَهُ,) water, (K, TA,) or drink, or water for irrigation; so that سَقَاهُ is like كَسَاهُ, and ↓ اسقى is like اآَلْبَسَ, as Sb says: (TA:) or, as some say, سَقَيْتُهُ I gave him water to his mouth; and ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, I assigned to him, or gave to him, (جَعَلْتُ لَهُ,) drink, or water for irrigation, that he might do as he would; and like them are كَسَوْتُهُ and أَكْسَيْتُهُ: (Ham p. 45:) Er-Rághib says that السَّقْىُ signifies the giving one drink; and ↓ الاـِسْقَاآءُ, the giving one drink so that he may take it howsoever he will; so that the latter is more ample in meaning than the former. (TA.) Both سَقَى and ↓ اسقى are sometimes used in relation to what is in the bellies of camels or other cattle; [meaning their milk;] as in the Kur [xxiii. 21], where it is said, مِمَّا فِى بُطُونِهَا ↓ نُسْقِيكُمْ, or نَسْقِيكُمْ, [i. e. We give you to drink of what is in their bellies, ] accord. to different readings. (TA.) One says, سَقَاهُ المَاآءَ, [ He gave him to drink water, or the water, ] inf. n. as above: (Mgh:) and المَاآءَ ↓ سَقَّيْتُهُ [ I gave him to drink water, or the water, much, or often ]: the teshdeed denotes muchness, or frequency. (S.) [See also a tropical usage of the former verb in a verse cited in p. 85, col. 3: and another, from Tarafeh, in p. 134, col. 3. One says also, سَقَى المَاآءَ, without a second objective complement, He supplied, or gave, water, or the water. ] And سَقَيْتُ الزَّرْعَ, [ I watered, or irrigated, the seed-produce, ] inf. n. as above; as also ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, (Msb.) And سَقَيْتُ فِى القِرْيَةِ and فِيهَا ↓ أَسْقَيْتُ [ I poured water into the water-skin ]: a poet says, [in one of my copies of the S, Dhu-r-Rummeh,] وَمَاشَنَّتَا خَرْقَاآءَ وَاهٍ كِلَاهُمَا سَقَى فِيهِمَا مُسْتَعْجِلٌ لَمْ تَبَلَّلَا بِأَنْبَعَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ لِلدَّمْعِ كُلَّمَا تَعَرَّفْتَ دَارًا أَوْ تَوَهَّمْتَ مَنْزِلَا [ And two old and worn-out skins of an unskilful woman who has not sewed them well, each of them unsound, into which a person in haste has poured water, they not having been previously moistened, (تَبَلَّلَا being for تَتَبَلَّلَا,) are not more liable to the shedding of their water than are thine eyes to the shedding of tears whenever thou investigatest a dwelling or imaginest a place of alighting, or abode ]. (S.) [And hence, app.,] سَقَى فُلَانٌ فِى ذَكَرِهِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one became vehemently affected by sexual appetite. (JK.) One says also, سَقَاهُ ا@للّٰهُ الغَيْثَ and ↓ اسقاهُ (S, Msb, * K) God sent down rain to him, or may God send &c.: (K:) both of these verbs being used by Lebeed in his saying, سَقَى قَوْمِى بَنِى مَجْدٍ وَأَسْقَى نُمَيْرًا وَالقَبَائِلَ مِنْ هِلَالِ [ May He send down rain to my people, the sons of Mejd, and may He send down rain to Numeyr, and the tribes of Hilál ]. (S.) [Hence,] one says, سَقَى ا@للّٰهُ عَصْرَ الشَّبِيبَةِ (assumed tropical:) [ May God freshen as with rain the times, or mornings, or afternoons, of youth, or young manhood ]. (A and TA in art. شب.) And سَقَيْتُ فُلَانًا, (S,) and ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, and ↓ سَقَّيْتُهُ, (S, K, *) which last is the form in most repute as expressive of a prayer, (Ham p. 45,) and of which the inf. n. is تَسْقِيَةٌ, (K,) I said to such a one سَقَاكَ ا@للّٰهُ [ May God send down rain to thee ], (S and K in explanation of the second and third,) or سَقْيًا [which virtually means the same, for سَقَاكَ ا@للّٰهُ سَقْيًا]: (S in explanation of the first and second, and K in explanation of the second and third:) [or,] accord, to some, one says سَقَيْتُهُ when it [which he gives, i. e. water or the like,] is in his hand; [agreeably with the first explanation in this art.;] and ↓ أَسْقَيْنُهُ signifies I prayed for him, saying سَقْيًا لَكَ. (Msb.) ― -b2- سَقَى بَطْنُهُ, (JK, S, MA, K,) inf. n. سَقِىٌ; (JK, S;) and سُقِىَ, (JK, IAth, TA,) or سَقِى, aor. يَسْقَى, inf. n. سِقًى or سَقًى; (MA;) and ↓ استسقى; (JK, S, K; [in my copy of the Msb استقى, which I doubt not to be a mistranscription, as the verb most commonly known in the sense here following is استسقى, and as this is not there mentioned;]) His belly [ was, or became, diseased with dropsy, i. e.] had yellow water [meaning serum ] (JK, S, Msb, K, * TA) apparent in it, (JK,) or collected in it; (S, K, TA;) for which there is scarcely, or never, any cure; (Msb, TA;) his belly became swollen [ with dropsy ]. MA.) ― -b3- [In the phrase written in the CK سُقِىَ قُلْبُهُ عَدَاوَةًُ, the verb is correctly سُقِىَ: see 2.] ― -b4- سَقَىالعَرَقُ The sweat flowed without stopping. (TA.) ― -b5- سَقَى التَّوْبَ, and ↓ سقّاهُ, He made the garment, or piece of cloth, to imbibe a dye. (TA.) ― -b6- [سَقَى also signifies He tempered steel; and is used in this sense in the present day: and accord. to a reading in one of my copies of the S, in art. شرخ, ↓ سقّى also has this meaning.] ― -b7- See also 4, last sentence.

2 سَقَّىَ see 1, in six places. ― -b2- سُقِىَ قَلْبُهُ عَدَاوَةً, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, سُقِىَ,]) and بِالعَدَاوَةِ, (TA, and thus, and thus only, in the JK,) inf. n. تَسْقِيَةٌ, (JK, TA,) (tropical:) His heart was made to imbibe enmity, (K, TA,) is said of a man to whom a thing that he dislikes, or hates, has been repeatedly done. (TA.)

(TA.)

4 أَسْقَىَ see 1, in thirteen places. ― -b2- One says also, أَسْقَيْتُهُ رَكِيَّتِى I assigned to him my well [ to draw water therefrom ]: and أَسْقَيْتُهُ جَدْوَلًا مِنْ نَهْرِى I assigned to him [ a streamlet as ] a place, or source, of irrigation, from my river, or rivulet; and أَسْقَيْتُ لَهُ مِنْهُ [which means the same]. (TA.) ― -b3- And اسقاهُ It produced in him [ dropsy, or] yellow water. (JK. [See 1, near the end of the paragraph.]) ― -b4- And He gave him a made [ shin such as is termed ] سِقَاآء: (Az, K, TA: [it is said in the TA that وَهَبَ مِنْهُ in the K should be وَهَبَ لَهُ, as in the explanation by Az: but see art. وهب, in which it is said that وهب منه is allowable, and occurs in several trads.:]) or he gave him a hide to make of it a سِقَاآء: (K:) or اسقاهُ اـِهَابًا has the latter meaning: (JK, TA:) and أَسْقِ اـِهَابَهَا occurs in a trad. as meaning Give thou its hide to him who will make of it a سِقَاآء, (TA,) or make thou its hide to be a سِقَاآء for thee. (JK.) ― -b5- Also, (JK, S, K, TA,) and ↓ سَقَاهُ, (K,) the latter mentioned as on the authority of IAar, but disallowed by Sh, (TA,) i. q. اِغْتَابَهُ (tropical:) [ He spoke evil of him, or traduced him, in his absence or otherwise ], (JK, S, K, TA,) in a foul manner; (TA;) and imputed to him a vice, fault, or the like: (S, TA:) and J cites [in the S] a verse of Ibn-Ahmar ending with the phrase أَسْقَى ↓ سِقَائِيَا [app. as meaning (assumed tropical:) Who has spoken evil of me, & c.]. (TA.)

5 تسقّى ذ It (a thing) received, or admitted, moisture, (M, TA,) or irrigation; or became plentifully irrigated, or succulent, or sappy. (M, K, TA.) The Hudhalee (El-Mutanakhkhil, TA) says. مُجَدَّلٌ يَتَسَقَّى جِلْدُهُ دَمَهُ كَمَا تَقَطَّرَ جِذْعُ الدَّوْمَةِ القُطُلُ meaning [ Thrown down upon the ground, his skin ] becomes drenched with his blood (يَتَشَرَّبُهُ) [ like as drips the severed trunk of the Theban palm-tree ]: or, as some relate the verse, يَتَكَسَّى [ becomes overspread, here meaning suffused ], from الكِسْوَةُ.

8 استقى ذ He drew water (TA) مِن البِئْرِ [ from the well ], (S, TA,) and مِنَ النَّهْرِ [ from the river, or rivulet ]. (TA.

سَقْى ذ in the phrase سَقْىُ الفُرَاتِ, which means The towns, or villages, [or lands, ] watered by the Euphrates, is said by Mtr to be an inf. n. used as a subst. [properly so termed, and, being originally an inf. n., it may be used alike as sing. and pl.]; or, in this phrase, a noun that should be prefixed to it [such as ذَات], is suppressed: or, accord. to some, it is سِقْى [q. v.], an instance of the measure فِعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; and thus it is in the handwriting of EI- Hareeree in his 22nd Makámeh. (Har p. 246.) ― -b2- See also the next paragraph.

سِقْىٌ ذ Drink; or what is drunk; (TA;) or what is given to drink; (K, TA;) a subst. from سَقَاهُ and أَسْقَاهُ; (S, TA; [in the former of which, this meaning is indicated, and also the meaning of water given to drink to cattle; and water with which land is irrigated; ]) in the M, drink given to camels: (TA:) pl. أَسْقِيَةٌ.

(S, TA.) And A skin [or membrane ] containing yellow water, which cleaves asunder from over the head of the young one [ at the birth ]: (K, TA:) or, as in the T, the water that is in the [ membrane called ] مَشِيمَة, that comes forth عَلَى رَأْسِ الوَلَدِ [meaning at the birth]. (TA.) -A2- Also Land that is irrigated; having the meaning of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like نِقْضٌ [in the sense of مَنْقُوضٌ]: (Er-Rághib, TA: [see also سَقْى:]) or it signifies, (K,) or so ↓ سَقِىٌّ, of the same measure as شَقِىٌّ and صَبِىٌّ, (Mgh,) and ↓ مَسْقَوِىٌّ, (S, Mgh, K,) app. a rel. n. from مَسْقًى, not from مَسْقِىٌّ, for if it were from the latter it would be مَسْقِىٌّ, (M, TA,) [or, accord. to some, if from مَسْقِىٌّ, it may be either مَسْقِىٌّ or مَسْقَوِىٌّ, (see Lumsden's Arab. Gr. p. 630,)] seed-produce irrigated (S, Mgh, K) by water running upon the surface of the earth; (S, Mgh;) [i. e., not by rain only;] ↓ سَقِىٌّ being the contr. of بَخْسِىٌّ; (Mgh;) and ↓ مَسْقَوِىٌّ, contr. of مَظْمَئِىٌّ, (Mgh, TA,) which signifies “ watered [only] by the rain; ” and the vulgar say ↓ مِسْقَاوِى.

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.

سِقَايَةٌ ذ and ↓ سُقَايَةٌ and ↓ مَسْقَاةٌ and ↓ مِسْقَاةٌ A place for giving to drink or for watering: (K, * TA:) what is termed سِقَايَةُ المَاآءِ is well known: (S:) i. e. سِقَايَةٌ signifies a place made, or prepared, for the giving to drink to people: (Msb:) a construction for water: (Mgh:) or a place in which beverage is made, or prepared, at the fairs, or festivals, &c.: (JK, T, TA:) [and particularly a place in which a beverage made of raisins steeped in water was given at the general assembly of the pilgrims: ] and ↓ مَسْقَاةٌ signifies a drinkingplace [in a general sense]: and he who pronounces it with kesr to the م [↓ مِسْقَاةٌ] makes it to be like the utensil called مِسْقَاةُ الدِّيكِ [ the drinking-vessel of the cock ]: (S:) [see تُرْفَةٌ:] and the pl. is مَسَاقٍ.

(TA.) ― -b3- And سِقَايَةُ الحَاجِ means The beverage made of raisins steeped in water which [ the tribe of ] Kureysh used to give to the pilgrims to drink: it was under the superintendence of El-'Abbás in the Time of Ignorance and in El-Islám: (TA:) or سِقَايَة in this phrase is an inf. n.; so in the Kur ix. 19; (Mgh;) where it is said, أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ ا@لْحَاجِ وَعِمَارَةَا@لْمَسْجِدِ ا@لْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ اآمَنَ بِاآللّٰهِ وَا@ليَوْمِ ا@لْاآخِرِ; the two words سقاية and عمارة being inf. ns. of سَقَى and عَمَرَ; (Bd;) the meaning being أَجَعَلْتُمْ أَهْلَ سِقَايَةِ الحَاجِ وَ عِمَارَةِ المَسْجِدِ الحَرَامِ [i. e. Have ye made, or pronounced, the authors of the giving to drink to the pilgrims, and of the keeping in repair of the sacred mosque, to be like him who has believed in God and the last day? ]; and this is confirmed by another reading, which is, سُقَاةَ الحَاجِ وَعَمَرَةَ المَسْجِدِ: (Ksh, Bd:) or the meaning is, أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الحَاجِ كَاـِيمَانِ مَنْ اآمَنَ [&c., i. e. have ye made, or pronounced, the giving to drink to the pilgrims, &c., to be like the belief of him who has believed &c.?].
