Its root in the classical dictionaries
الصبح والصباح، أول النهار، وهو وقت ما احمر الأفق بحاجب الشمس. قال تعالى: أليس الصبح بقريب [هود/ 81] ، وقال: فساء صباح المنذرين
قوله تعالى: ﴿فالمغيرات صبحا﴾ [العاديات: 3]. الصبح والصباح: أول النهار، وهو وقت احمرار الأفق بحاجب الشمس. قوله تعالى: ﴿فالق الإصباح﴾ [الأنعام: 96] أي ضوء النهار. والإصباح في الأصل: مصدر أصبح. فالمعنى: جاعل ذلك. وشبهه كالبيضة التي تفلق عن الشيء، كأن ضوء النهار كان محتجبا في شيء انفلق عنه. قوله: ﴿فساد صباح المنذرين﴾…
"But this thought of yours
Which ye did entertain
Concerning your Lord, hath
Brought you to destruction,
And (now) have ye become
Of those utterly lost!"
"Everything will it destroy
By the command of its Lord!"
Then by the morning they—
Nothing was to be seen
But (the ruins of) their houses!
Thus do We recompense
Those given to sin!
O ye who believe!
If a wicked person comes
To you with any news,
Ascertain the truth, lest
Ye harm people unwittingly,
And afterwards become
Full of repentance for
What ye have done.
O ye who believe!
Be ye helpers of God:
As said Jesus the son of Mary
To the Disciples, "Who will be
My helpers to (the work
Of) God?" Said the Disciples,
"We are God's helpers!"
Then a portion of the Children
Of Israel believed, and
A portion disbelieved:
But We gave power
To those who believed,
Against their enemies,
And they became
The ones that prevailed.
