الثبات ضد الزوال، يقال: ثبت يثبت ثباتا، قال الله تعالى: يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا لقيتم فئة فاثبتوا [الأنفال/ 45] ، ورجل ثبت وثبيت في الحرب، وأثبته السقم ، ويقال ذلك للموجود بالبصر أو البصيرة، فيقال: فلان ثابت عندي، ونبوة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ثابتة، والإثبات والتثبيت تارة يقال بالفعل، فيقال لما يخرج من العدم إلى…
الثبات والثبوت: ضد الزوال. يقال: ثبت يثبت ثبتا وثباتا وثبوتا أي، يقوي جنانهم حتى يجيبوا الملكين في القبر لما يسألنهم، وهو راجع لما قدمنا؛ فإن تقوية الشيء يثتبه ولا يزيله. ومنه: ﴿فثبتوا الذين آمنوا﴾ [الأنفال: 12]؛ ألا ترى كيف قابله بقوله: ﴿سألقي في قلوب الذين كفروا الرعب﴾ [الأنفال: 12]
When they advanced
To meet Goliath and his forces,
They prayed: "Our Lord
Pour out constancy on us
And make our steps firm:
Help us against those
That reject faith."
All that they said was:
"Our Lord! forgive us
Our sins and anything
We may have done
That transgressed our duty:
Establish our feet firmly,
And help us against
Those that resist
Faith."
Remember He covered you
With a sort of drowsiness,
To give you calm as from
Himself, and he caused
Rain to descend on you
From heaven, to clean you
Therewith, to remove from you
The stain of Satan,
To strengthen your hearts,
And to plant your feet
Firmly therewith.
Remember thy Lord inspired
The angels (with the message):
"I am with you: give
Firmness to the Believers:
I will instil terror
Into the hearts of the Unbelievers:
Smite ye above their necks
And smite all their
Finger-tips off them.
All that we relate to thee
Of the stories of the apostles,—
With it We make firm
Thy heart: in them there cometh
To thee the Truth, as well as
An exhortation and a message
Of remembrance to those who believe.
God will establish in strength
Those who believe, with the Word
That stands firm, in this world
And in the Hereafter; but God
Will leave, to stray, those
Who do wrong: God doeth
What He willeth.
Say, the Holy Spirit has brought
The revelation from thy Lord
In Truth, in order to strengthen
Those who believe, and as a Guide
And Glad Tidings to Muslims.
Those who reject Faith
Say: "Why is not the Qur-ān
Revealed to him all at once?
Thus (is it revealed), that We
May strengthen thy heart
Thereby, and We have
Rehearsed it to thee in slow,
Well-arranged stages, gradually.
