Full Definition
2 And [hence], as also تسلّل , He slipped away, or stole away; i. e., went away covertly, secretly, or clandestinely: or he went forth, مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ [from among them]. And اِنْسَلَلْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ I went away, and went forth, deliberately, or leisurely, and by degrees, from before him. Sb says that اِنْسَلَلْتُ [used in this or a similar sense] is not a quasi-pass. verb; but is only like [a verb of the measure] فَعَلْتُ; like as اِفْتَقَرَ is like ضَعُفَ. It is said in a prov., رَمَتْنِى بِدَائِهَاوَٱنْسَلَّتْ [She reproached me with her own fault, and slipped away]: [originally] said by one of the fellow-wives of Ruhm, daughter of El-Khazraj, wife of Saad Ibn-Zeyd-Menáh, on Ruhm's reproaching her with a fault that was in herself. And one says also, بِكَذَا, meaning He went away with such a thing covertly, secretly, or clandestinely.
