خَالِصَةٌ

Root: خلص

Full Definition

خَالِصَةٌ [fem. of خَالِصٌ: used as a subst.,] A pure property, or quality. (Bd in xxxviii. 46; and K. [In the CK, خُلَّة is erroneously put for خَلَّة: the corresponding word in Bd is خَصْلَة.]) So in the Kur [xxxviii. 46], بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكْرَى الدَّارِ We have rendered them pure by a pure quality, the keeping in memory the final abode: ذكرى الدار being a substitute for خالصة: or it may mean [by] their keeping in memory much the final abode and the return to God: some also, namely Náfi' and Hishám, read بِخَالِصَةِ, making it a prefix to ذكرى as an explicative; or an Verbal.Noun, in the sense of خُلُوص, prefixed to its agent.
2 You say also, هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ خَالِصَةٌ لَكَ This thing is a property of thine: or is a thing purely thine, exclusively of others: or هذا الشىء خَالِصَةً لَكَ this thing is particularly, or specially, thine, or for thee.
3 See also خِلْصٌ.

def.2 خَالِصَةٌ is also syn. with إِخْلَاصٌ [in some sense not pointed out: see the latter below; and see also 4].
