صَوْتٌ and
صَاتٌ and
صِيتَةٌ Fame, report, repute, or reputation, whether good or evil: or good fame, good report, good repute or reputation, that spreads among the people; so some say; not evil: [they may often be well rendered renown:] صِيتٌ is originally صِوْتٌ; the و being changed into ى on account of the kesreh preceding it: it seems as though they made it to be of the measure فِعْلٌ to distinguish between the صَوْت that is heard and the fame &c. that is known: but sometimes they said, اِنْتَشَرَ فِى النَّاسِ in the sense of صِيتُهُ [i. e. His fame &c., or good fame &c., spread among the people]: and لَهُ صَوْتٌ فِى النَّاسِ and صِيتٌ [He has fame &c., or good fame &c., among the people]: and ذَهَبَ صِيتُهُ فِيهِمْ [His fame &c., or good fame &c., went among them]. It is said in a trad., مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ إِلَّا لَهُ صِيتٌ فِى السَّمَآءِ, meaning [There is no servant of God, i. e. no man, but he has] a report by which he is known [in Heaven]; and it may be in respect of good and evil. And in another trad., فَصْلُ مَا بَيْنَ الحَلَالِ وَالحَرَامِ وَالدَّفٌ [The distinction between the lawful and the unlawful is the report that is made in the case of the former, and the tambourine that is used in that case], meaning the publication of the marriage, and the going of the report thereof among the people.
