سَلِيمٌ

Full Definition

سَلِيمٌ i. q. سَالِمٌ , which means Safe, secure, or free, from evils of any kind; applied to a man: pl. سُلَمَآءُ; in some copies of the K سَلْمَى, like جَرْحَى pl. of جَرِيحٌ; [but this is probably its pl. only when it is used in the sense of جَرِيحٌ or the like, as seems to be the case from what follows.] Also, applied to a heart: بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ, in the Kur xxvi. 89, means With a heart free from unbelief: or, divested of corruptness, or unsoundness: in the Kur xxxvii. 82, some say that it means with a grieving, or sorrowful, heart; from سَلِيمٌ in the sense here next following.
2 Also i. q. لَدِيغٌ [meaning Bitten by a serpent]; as also سَلَامٌ and مَسْلُومٌ : app., as implying a good omen, of safety; or because the person is left (مُسْلَمٌ) to that [bane] which is in him: and sometimes it is metaphorically used as meaning wounded: or it means wounded, at the point of death, as some say: pl. سَلْمَى.

def.2 Also, of a horse, The part, of the hoof, that is between the أَشْعَر [or hair, or extremity of the skin, next the hoof], or that is between the أَمْعَر [q. v.], but the former is the right, and the interior of the hoof.
