سَلْسَبِيل

salosabiylu * the name of A certain fountain in Paradise: determinate; [without tenween;] but occurring at the end of a verse of the Kur [lxxvi. 18], (Akh, S, K,) and being with fet-h, (Akh, S,) A is added to it, (Akh, S, K,) for the sake of conformity [with the endings of other verses before and after it]. (K.) See also art. slsbl .

salosabiylN * , a quinqueliteral-radical word, (M,) Easy [ as a beverage ] in the utmost degree: (TA:) [applied as an epithet to milk, ( laban , so in a copy of the M, and so in the CK,) or signifying smooth, ( lay~in , so in copies of the K,)] in which is no roughness: (M, K:) and sometimes applied as an epithet to water, (M, TA,) or beverage, meaning easy of entrance into the throat, or fauces. (TA.) ― -b2- And Wine: (K:) so accord. to some, as in the saying of 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Rawáhah, in which it is [said to be] used as a syn. adjunct to the preceding word: A_in~ahumo Einoda rab~ihimo fiY jinaAnK ya$orabuwna Alr~aHiyqa waAls~alosabiylaA [as though meaning Verily they are with their Lord, in gardens, drinking wine and fermented juice of the grape: but the meaning may be, the choicest of wine, or the sweetest thereof, &c., (see raHiyqN ,) and wine easy to swallow, or the like ]. (TA.) ― -b3- And A certain fountain in Paradise [mentioned in art. sbl , q. v.]: (M, K:) Aboo-Bekr says that it may be a proper name of the fountain, and properly imperfectly decl. [i. e. without tenween] as being determinate and of the fem. gender, but made to be with tenween at the end of a verse in the Kur [lxxvi. 18] in order that it may be conformable with other endings of verses; or it may be an epithet applied to the fountain, and therefore perfectly decl.: (TA:) Sb mentions it as an ex. of an epithet: IAar says that he had not heard it except in the Kur-án: (M, TA:) I'Ab says that salosabiylFA [in the Kur] means that slips, or steals, ( yanosal~u ,) into the throats, or fauces: [as though the radical letters were only s and l , which some assert to be the case:] accord. to Aboo-Jaafar El-Bákir, it means soft in the part between the Hanojarap [or head of the windpipe ] and the Haloq [or fauces ]: the explanation as meaning [ salo sabiylFA i. e.] salo rab~aka sabiylFA A_ilaY h`*ihi AlEayoni [ Ask of thy Lord a way of access to this fountain ] is a mistake, not allowable. (TA.) ― -b4- The pl. is salaAsibu and salaAsiybu : and the pl. of [the fem.] salosabiylapN is salosabiylaAtN . (TA.) ― -b5- [In the present day it is applied to An artificial fountain that throws up water. ]
