Full Definition
2 And A sending down of rain upon mankind and the lands: a subst. from سَقَاهُ ٱللّٰه الغَيْثَ. One says, دَعَوْتُ لَهُ بِالسُّقْيَا [I prayed for him for the sending down of rain]. 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. 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.
3 Also i. q. شرب [i. e. شِرْبٌ, meaning A beast's share, or portion, of water]: so in the Kur xci. 13.
