تسرّرV
, and
استسرّ , He took to himself a concubine-slave. And تَسَرَّرْتُ جَارِيَةً, and تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, and
, I took to myself a girl, or young woman, as a concubine-slave. تَسَرَّرْتُهَا is [said to be] thus changed to تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, for alleviation of the pronunciation, on account of the three ر s following one another, being like تَظَنَّنْتُ and تَظَنَّيْتُ. Lth says that تسرّيت is a mistake; but Az says that it is correct.
occurs in a trad. as signifying He took me to himself as a concubine-slave; but by rule one should say تَسَرَّرَنِى, or تَسَرَّانِى: as to
, it [more properly] signifies “ He revealed to me his secret. ”
