سِجِّين, mentioned and expl. in the Kur lxxxiii. 8 and 9: AO says that من سجّيل means many and hard; and that سِجِّينٌ is syn. with سِجِّيلٌ in this sense: it is also said to be from سِجِّينٌ meaning Hell; the ن being changed into ل: also, to be from أَسْجَلْتُهُ meaning “ I sent forth him or it: ” or from أَسْجَلْتُ meaning “ I gave; ” and to be from السَّجْلُ.
