Full Definition

صِمَاتِ Such a one is, or was, at the point of accomplishing the affair. And أَنَا عَلَى صِمَاتِ حَاجَتِى I am at the point of accomplishing my want. And بَاتَ عَلَى صِمَاتِ أَمْرِهِ He passed the night resolved upon his affair. And هُوَ بِصِمَاتِهِ He is at the point of [attaining] his purpose: Aboo-Málik says that صِمَاتٌ signifies قَصْدٌ [i. e. purpose, intention, &c.].
