سَلِمَI
, [Present.T
ـَ] Verbal.Noun سَلَامَةٌ and سَلَامٌ and سَلَمٌ and سَلْمٌ and سِلْمٌ, He was, or became, safe, or secure; or he escaped; or he was, or became, free; مِنَ الآفَاتِ [from evils of any kind], or مِنَ الآفَةِ [from evil of any kind], or مِنَ البَلَآءِ [from trial, or affliction], or مِنَ الأَمْرِ [from the affair]: he was, or became, safe, secure, or free, from evils of any kind: and سَلِمَ مِنَ العَيْبِ
he was, or became, free from fault, defect, imperfection, blemish, or vice; syn. بَرِئَ. (Msb in art. برأ.) [Hence,] one says, لَا بِذِى تَسْلَمُ مَا كَانَ
گَذَا وَكَذَا, meaning No, by God [or Him] who maketh thee to be in safety, [such and such things were not;] and to two persons لا بذى تَسْلَمَانِ, and to a pl. number لا بذى تَسْلَمُونَ, and to a female لا بذى تَسْلَمِينَ, and to a pl. number [of females] لا بذى تَسْلَمْنَ. And لَا أَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ بِذِى تَسْلَمُ, meaning, بِذِى سَلَامَتِكِ [i. e. I will not do that, by the Author of thy safety]; and in like manner, بذى تَسْلَمَانِ, and بذى تَسْلَمُونَ. (Sb, M. [See also ذو.]) And اِذْهَبْ بِذِى تَسْلَمُ, i. e. اِذْهَبْ بِسَلَامَتِكَ [Go thou with thy safety; or, with the Author of thy safety to protect thee; meaning go thou in safety]; and [to two persons] اِذْهَبَا بِذِى تَسْلَمَانِ. ذى is thus prefixed to a verb [as virtually governing it in the gen. case] like as آيَة is in an instance mentioned under this latter word; but these are two extr. instances; for only a noun significant of time is [regularly] prefixed to a verb, as in the phrase هٰذَا يَوْمُ يُفْعَلُ, meaning يُفْعَلُ فِيهِ: it is not prefixed to any but this verb تَسْلَمُ [and its variations as above mentioned].
2 And hence, one says also, سَلِمَتْ لَهُ الضَّيْعَةُ, meaning [The landed estate] was, or became, free from participation to him; syn. خَلَصَت.
def.2 سلمهُ, [app. سَلَمَهُ, or perhaps سَلِمَهُ, for some verbs of this measure are trans., as حَسِبَ and وَرِثَ,] Verbal.Noun سلم, [app. سَلَمٌ, q. v. infrà,] He made him a captive.
def.3 سَلَمَتْهُ الحَيَّةُ, Verbal.Noun سَلْمٌ, The serpent bit him: mentioned by Az, but he adds that no one but Lth has said this.
def.4 سَلَمَ الجِلْدَ, Present.T ـِ Verbal.Noun سَلْمٌ, He tanned the skin with [قَرَظ, i. e. leaves of] the سَلَم [or mimosa flava].
2 سَلَمَ الدَّلْوَ, Present.T ـِ Verbal.Noun سَلْمٌ, He finished making the leathern bucket; and made it firm, strong, or sound, or made it firmly, strongly, or soundly.
