اِطْمَأَنَّ
is said by some to be originally [اِطْمَانَّ] like اِحْمَارَّ, as Esh-Shiháb states in the Expos. of the Shifè, and to be pronounced with ء for the purpose of avoiding [the combination of] the two quiescent letters, anomalously: and some say that it is originally اِطْأَمَنَّ, because you say طَأْمَنَ الرَّجُلُ ظَهْرَهُ, with ء, or, as Suh says, in the R, because it is from تَطأْمَنَ, the م being put before the ء in order to render the word more easy of pronunciation, therefore it is anomalous; Sb [likewise] held it to be formed by transposition, and derived from طَأْمَنَ; but AA held the contrary to be the case.

And thus it signifies as said of the heart, i. e. It was, or became, still, in a state of rest or ease, quiet, calm, tranquil, unruffled, or free from disquietude. Thus too in the saying, اطمأن إِلَى كَذَا, i. e.
