صَدَعَاتٌ

Root: صدع

Full Definition

صَدَعَاتٌ [Divisions in opinion &c.]. One says, بَيْنَهُمْ صَدَعَاتٌ فِى الرَّأْىِ وَالهَوَى Between them is division [in opinion and affection; or rather between them are divisions &c.]. And أَصْلِحُوا مَا فِيكُمْ مِنَ الصَّدَعَاتِ [Repair ye the divisions that are among you;] i. e. become ye in a state of unity. And إِنَّهُمْ عَلَى مَا فِيهِمْ مِنَ الصَّدَعَاتِ أَلِبَّآءُ كِرَامٌ [Verily they, notwithstanding the divisions that are among them, are intelligent and generous]. [It is stated in the TA, among the additions to the K in this art., that one says also, إِنَّهُمْ عَلَى مَا تَرَى مِنْ لَكِرَامٌ app. as meaning Verily they, notwithstanding what thou seest of their disunion, are generous: but I think it most probable that صَدَاعَتِهِمْ is a mistranscription for صَدَعَاتِهِمْ.]

def.2 [Reiske, as stated by Freytag, explains it as signifying also Camels going swiftly.]
