Full Definition

اِرْتِسَامٌVIII [in its primary sense, as quasi-pass. of رَسْمٌ, Verbal.Noun of رَسَمَ, is app. post-classical, but, as such,] is used by the logicians as meaning The being stamped and depicted [in the mind]: [It is used, in this sense, of an image formed by the fancy, and of any ideal image.]

def.2 [Also The obeying a prescript or command &c.] You say, رَسَمْتُ لَهُ كَذَا, or بِكَذَا, فَٱرْتَسَمَ, or فَٱرْتَسَمَهُ, [I prescribed to him the doing of such a thing; or] I commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do such a thing, and he obeyed it [i. e. the prescript &c.]. And أَنَا أَرْتَسِمُ [I obey thy prescripts &c.;] I do not transgress thy مراسم.
2 And hence, ارتسم signifies also He said اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرْ [God is great, or most great]: and he sought protection or preservation [by God]: and he prayed or supplicated or petitioned [God]: as though [meaning] he took the course prescribed by God, of having recourse to Him for protection or preservation. El-Aashà says, [speaking of wine,] وَصَلَّى عضلَى دَنِّهَا وَٱرْتَسَمْ وَقَابَلَهَا الرِيحَ فِى دَنِّهَا or وَأَقْبَلَهَا, (so in some copies of the S in this art. and in art. صلو, and in the Mgh, also, in the latter art.,) i. e. [And he exposed it to the wind, in its jar, and he prayed over its jar,] and petitioned for it (TA in this art. and in art. صلو) that it might not become sour, nor spoil: AHn says that ارتسم means he stamped its vessel with the رَوْسَم; but this saying is not valid: [and Mtr, also, says that] ارتسم, here, is from الرَّوْسَمُ, and means he stamped it. (Mgh in art. صلو.)
