مُسْجَلٌ

Root: سجل

Full Definition

مُسْجَلٌ Allowed, or made allowable, to every one; not denied to any one.
2 Mohammad Ibn-El-Hanafeeyeh said, in explaining the words of the Kur [lv. 60], هَلْ جَزَآءُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا ٱلْإِحْسَانُ [Shall the recompense of doing good be other than doing good?], هِىَ مُسْجَلَةٌ لِلْبَرِّ وَ الفَاجِرِ, meaning It is unrestricted in its relation to the righteous and the unrighteous: a righteous person is not made to be conditionally intended thereby, exclusively of an unrighteous.
3 And one says, فَعَلْنَاهُ وَ الدَّهْرُ مُسْجَلٌ [We did it when fortune was unrestricted], i. e., when no one feared any one.
