It is said in the Kur [xli. 49], لَا يَسْأٓمُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ
دُعَآءِ ٱلْخَيْرِ [Man will not turn away with disgust from, or will not be weary of, praying for good, or wealth, or prosperity]. And in a trad., إِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ لَا يَسْأَمُ حَتَّى تَسْأَمُوا
Verily God will not turn away with disgust until ye turn away with disgust; like لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا, and thus the trad. is commonly related. And it is related in a trad. of 'Áïsheh that she used to say to the Jews, عَلَيْكُمْ السَّأْمُ وَالذَّأْمُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ [Disgust, or loathing, and contempt, and cursing, rest upon you]: thus related with ء, meaning ye shall turn away with disgust from your religion: but commonly related without ء [and with a different meaning], as will be stated hereafter [in art. سوم]. (IAth, TA in this art. and in art. سوم.)
