Full Definition

اصدقIV He named for the woman a صَدَاق [or dowry]: or he gave her her صَدَاق: or he appointed her, or assigned her, a صَدَاق, on taking her as his wife: and he married her, or took her as his wife, on the condition of his giving her a صَدَاق. And sometimes this verb is doubly trans.; whence, in a trad., مَا ذَا تُصْدِقُهَا فَقَالَ إِزَارِى [It was said, “ What is it that thou meanest for her, or givest her, as her dowry? ” and he said, “ My waist-wrapper ”].
