آمِنٌSecure, safe, or free from fear; as also
and
أَمِنٌ. Hence, in the Kur [xcv. 3], وَهذَا الْبَلَدِ [And this secure town]; meaning Mekkeh. بَلَدٌ آمِنٌ and
means A town, or country, or district, of which the inhabitants are in a state of security, or confidence, therein. It is also said in the Kur [xliv. 51], إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ , meaning [Verily the pious shall be in an abode] wherein they shall be secure from the accidents, or casualties, of fortune. [And hence,]
is one of the epithets applied to God, on the authority of El-Hasan; 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. آمِنُ المَالِ means What is secure from being slaughtered, of the camels, because of its being highly prized; by المال being meant الإِبِل: or, as some say, what is highly esteemed, of property of any kind; as though, if it had intellect, it would feel secure from being exchanged. You say, أَعْطَيْتُهُ مِنْ آمِنِ مَالِي, (K, TA, [in the CK آمَنِ,]) meaning I gave him of the choice, or best, of my property; of what was highly esteemed thereof; and مِنْ مَالِى 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 آمِن.]) And آمِنُ الحِلْمِ means Steadfast in forbearance or clemency; of whose becoming disordered in temper, and free from self-restraint, there is no fear. 2 See also أَمِينٌ, in three places: 3 and see اَمِنٌ.
def.2 See also أَمِينٌ, in two places.
