2 Sl~Y * , (S, M, K,) quasi-inf. n. SalaApN or Sal`wp , for which one should not say taSoliyapN , (S, K,) or the latter is allowable as agreeable with rule and as occurring in old poetry, (MF, TA,) He prayed, supplicated, or petitioned: (S, M, K:) and [particularly] he performed the divinely-appointed act [ of prayer commonly ] termed SalaAp or Sal`wp . (S.) Hence, in the Kur [ix. 104], (TA,) waSal~i Ealayohimo And pray thou for them. (Msb, TA.) Sal~aY EalaY fulaAnK means He prayed for such a one, and praised him. (TA.) And hence the verse of ElAashà cited in art. rsm , conj. 8. (S, Mgh, * TA.) It is said in a trad., mano duEiYa A_ilaY waliymapK faloyujibo waA_il~aA faloyuSal~i [i. e. Whoso is invited to a banquet, or a marriage-feast, let him comply, or, if not, let him pray for the inviter]. (M.) And the saying, in a verse of El-Aashà, Ealayoki mivola Al~a*iY Sal~ayoti means Keep thou to the like of thy prayer; i. e. he enjoined her to repeat the prayer for him: or, as some relate it, Ealayoki mivolu Al~a*iY Sal~ayoti , meaning upon thee be the like of that for which thou hast prayed: (M:) these words he addressed to his daughter, on the occasion of her saying, “ O my Lord, ward off from my father diseases and pain. ” (Mgh.) The saying Eabiydu fulaAnK yuSal~uwna [ The slaves of such a one perform the divinely-appointed act of prayer ] means that they have attained to the age of virility. (Mgh.) ― -b2- Sl~Y Ealayohi , said of an angel, means He prayed for, or begged, forgiveness, or pardon, for him: and thus the verb sometimes means when said of other than an angel; as in the trad. of Sowdeh, in which it is said, A_i*aA mitonaA Sal~aY lanaA EuvomaAnu bonu maZoEuwnK [ When we die, 'Othmán Ibn-Madh'oon will pray for forgiveness for us ]; he having then died. (TA.) ― -b3- [And, said of a man, He blessed him, meaning he invoked God's blessing upon him; namely, the Prophet; or he said, Aall~`hum~a Sal~i Ealayohi (expl. by what here follows) accord. to the rendering of Sal~uwA Ealayohi , i. e. EalaY Aln~abiY~i , by Bd and others in the Kur xxxiii. 56.] One says, Sal~ayotu EalaY Aln~abiY~i [ I blessed the Prophet; &c.]. (S.) ― -b4- And, said of God, He blessed him, meaning He conferred blessing upon him: and He had mercy on him: and He magnified him, or conferred honour upon him: hence the saying, Aall~`hum~a Sal~i EalaY A=li A^abiY A^awofaY , meaning O God, bless the family of Aboo-Owfà: or have mercy on &c.: but in the saying [in the Kur xxxiii. 56], A_in~a A@ll~`ha wamalaAy^ikatahu yuSal~uwna EalaY Aln~abiY~i , the verb does not import two meanings; for it has there only one meaning, which is “ magnification ” [i. e. these words mean Verily God and his angels magnify the Prophet; or rather I would render them, bless the Prophet, as this rendering implies magnification and also a meaning of the quasi-inf. n. given in the M and K, which is “ eulogy, ” or “ commendation, ” bestowed by God upon his apostle, while it imports God's “ conferring of blessing ” and the angels' “ invoking thereof ” ]: (Msb, TA:) [it is said that] All~`hum~a Sal~i EalaY muHam~adK means O God, magnify Mohammad in the present world by exalting his renown and manifesting his invitation [ to ElIslám ] and rendering permanent his law, and in the world to come by accepting his intercession for his people and multiplying his reward: and it is disputed whether or not this form of prayer may be used for any but the Prophet [Mohammad]: El-Khattábee says that it may not, though he himself used it for others. (TA.) [ Sal~aY A@ll~`hu Ealayohi wasal~ama is a phrase commonly used by the Muslims after the mention of their prophet: see art. slm . See also SalaApN below.] -A2- Sl~Y said of a horse, (S, K,) inf. n. taSoliyapN , (TA,) He followed next after the foremost [ in a race, at the goal ]. (S, K.) Hence the saying [in a trad. of 'Alee], sabaqa rasuwlu A@ll~`hi waSal~aY A^abuw bakorK waval~ava Eumaru [expl. in art. sbq ]. (Mgh.) ― -b2- And Sl~Y AlHimaAru A^utunahu , (Sg
