Full Definition
[In the morning when ye turned back, as though your swords were ذآنين (pl. of ذُؤْنُونٌ a species of fungus) upon your necks, not drawn forth], he has separated the doubled letter: thus the verse is related by IAar: but by Th, لَمْ [for تَتَنَسَلَّلِ]. It is said in a trad., لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ العَجِينِ [I will assuredly draw thee forth from them like as the single hair is drawn forth from dough]. And in another trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ أْسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبِىغَدَاةَ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ كَانَّ سُيُوفَكُمْ ذَآنِينُ فِى أَعْنَاقِكُمْ لَمْ
2 Also He took the thing. Hence one says, تُسَلُّ المَيِّتُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى القَبْرِ, i. e. [The dead body] is taken [head-foremost to the grave]: [or is drawn forth &c.: for] it is said of the Apostle of God, سُلَّ مِنْ قِبَل رَأْسِهِ, meaning He was drawn forth [&c.] from the bier.
3 Also, Present.T and Verbal.Noun as above, He stole the thing: or he stole it covertly, secretly, or clandestinely; and so . (TK. [But see 4, below, where اسلّ meaning “ he stole ” is mentioned only as intrans.]) You say, سَلَّ البَعِيرَ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ He drew away the camel from among the other camels in the middle of the night: and in like manner you say of other things.
def.2 سَلَّ, Present.T
def.3 سُلَّ, in the pass. form, with damm, He was, or became, affected with the disease termed سِلّ [q. v.].
