فَاتِنٌ

Full Definition

فَاتِنٌ [is the act. part. n. of the trans. v. فَتَنَ; and as such] signifies Causing to err, or go astray, from the truth: hence the saying in the Kur [xxxvii. 162], مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ, which, accord. to Fr, means, Ye have not power [over him] to cause him to err, except him against whom it has been decreed that he shall enter the fire [of Hell]; فاتنين being made trans. by means of عَلَى because it implies the meaning of قَادِرِينَ, which is thus made trans.: Fr says, the people of El- Hijáz say مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ; and the people of Nejd, , from أَفْتَنْتُ.
2 See also فَتَّانٌ.

def.2 It is also an epithet from the intrans. v. فَتَنَ; and as such is applied to a heart as signifying Falling into فِتْنَة [i. e. trial, or affliction, &c.; or in a state of trial, &c.].
