Full Definition
def.2 ابسلهُ He pledged, or gave in pledge, him, or it, لِكَذَا [and بِكَذَا, as will be shown below, both meaning for such a thing]: and he gave in exchange, or as an equivalent, him, or it, لِكَذَا [and app. بِكَذَا also, as above, for such a thing]; syn. عَرَّضَهُ: and he gave him up, delivered him, delivered him over, or consigned him, to destruction, or to punishment. 'Owf Ibn-El-Ahwas says,
[And my giving in pledge, or as an equivalent, or giving up to destruction, my sons, not for a crime that we have committed, nor for blood that has been shed by us]: for he had given his sons in pledge for others, seeking peace, or reconciliation. أَنْ تُبْسَلَ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ, in the Kur [vi. 69], means Lest a soul should be given up, or delivered, &c., to destruction, or to punishment, for that which it hath done, of evil: or be given in pledge. And أُولٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ أُبْسِلُوا بِمَا كَسَبُوا, in the same [ubi suprà], means, in like manner, Those who are given up, or delivered, &c., for their sins: or who are given in pledge: or are destroyed: or, as Mujáhid says, are disgraced, or put to shame, by theوَإِبْسَالِي بَنِىَّ بِغَيْرِجُرْمٍ بَعَوْنَاهُ وَ لَا بِدَمٍ مُرَاقِ

3 ابسل نَفْسَهُ لِلْمَوْتِ, as also [alone], , and تبسّل , and , [which last may be either بَسَلَ or بَسُلَ, or perhaps it is a mistranscription for أَبْسَلَ,] He disposed and subjected his mind, or himself, to death, and felt certain, or sure, of it: and in like manner, لِلضَّرْبِ [to beating, i. e., to being beaten]: and لِلْمَوْتِ He submitted himself to death: and He threw himself into war, or battle, or fight, desiring to slay or be slain, inevitably.
