Its root in the classical dictionaries
السكون: ثبوت الشيء بعد تحرك، ويستعمل في الاستيطان نحو: سكن فلان مكان كذا، أي:
قوله تعالى: ﴿لتسكنوا فيه﴾ [يونس: 67] أي تستريحون من التعب، لأن السكون ضد الحركة. والحركة: مظنة التعب لأن فيها انتقالات بالأعضاء وأعمالا بالجوارح، والنهار ظرف ذلك. والليل ظرف الراحة بها والسكون؛ فإنه ثبوت الشيء بعد حركة أو ثبوته من غير نظر إلى حركة سابقة، واستعمل في الاستيطان.
"And verily We shall
Cause you to abide
In the land, and succeed them.
This for such as fear
The Time when they shall stand
Before My tribunal,—such
As fear the Punishment denounced."
"O our Lord! I have made
Some of my offspring to dwell
In a valley without cultivation,
By Thy Sacred House;
In order, O our Lord, that they
May establish regular Prayer:
So fill the hearts of some
Among men with love towards them,
And feed them with Fruits:
So that they may give thanks.
And We send down water
From the sky according to
(Due) measure, and We cause it
To soak in the soil;
And We certainly are able
To drain it off (with ease).
If it be His Will,
He can still the Wind:
Then would they become
Motionless on the back
Of the (ocean). Verily
In this are Signs
For everyone who patiently
Perseveres and is grateful.
Let the women live
(In ‘iddat) in the same
Style as ye live,
According to your means:
Annoy them not, so as
To restrict them.
And if they carry (life
In their wombs), then
Spend (your substance) on them
Until they deliver
Their burden: and if
They suckle your (offspring),
Give them their recompense:
And take mutual counsel
Together, according to
What is just and reasonable.
And if ye find yourselves
In difficulties, let another
Woman suckle (the child)
On the (father's) behalf.
