Full Definition
ضَامِنٌ
and
ضَمِينٌ One who is responsible, answerable, accountable, amenable, surety, or guarantee: both are mentioned by IAar as syn., like سَامِنٌ and سَمِينٌ. God is represented by the Prophet as saying, مَنْ خَرَجَ مُجَاهِدًا فِى سَبِيلِى وَٱبْتِغَآءِ مَرْضَاتِى فَأَنَا
عَلَيْهِ ضَامِنٌ وَهُوَ عَلَىَّ ضَامِنٌ, meaning [Whoso goes forth as a warrior in my cause, and seeking, or seeking earnestly, to obtain my approval,] I am responsible to him for what I have promised him, to recompense him living and dead; ضامن being made trans. by means of على because it implies the meaning of مُحَامٍ and رَقِيبٌ; and the last clause means nearly the same, but is rendered as meaning and he is one who has [a claim to] responsibility on my part, as though care and mindfulness [of him] were obligatory on me. And it is said in a trad., الإِمَامُ ضَامِنٌ
وَالمُؤَذِّنُ مُؤْتَمَنٌ: [the latter clause has been expl. in art. أمن (voce أَمِينٌ):] the former clause means, The imám [or leader of prayer] is as though he were responsible for the correctness of the prayer of those who follow him: or it means, the imám is careful, or mindful, for the people [who follow him], of [the correctness of] their prayer.
2 ضَامِنٌ and مِضْمَانٌ applied to a she-camel, signify Having a fœtus in her belly: and the pls. are ضَوَامِنُ and مَضَامِينُ. (IAar, L and TA in art. لقح and in the present art.)
3 ضَامِنَةٌ applied to rights, or dues, (حُقُوق,) is used by Lebeed as meaning مَضْمُونَةٌ; [see مَضْمُونٌ;] like as رَاحِلَةٌ is used as meaning مَرْحُولَةٌ.
