المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الثقل: يقابل الخفة، فكل ما رجح غيره بوزن أو مقدار فهو أثقل منه، وأصله في الأجسام، ويستعمل في المعاني، نحو قوله: ﴿فهم من مغرم مثقلون﴾ [الطور: 40]، وأثقله الدين. والثقيل: غلب في الذم؛ يقولون: ثقيل الروح، وقد يمدح به بقرينة نحو قول الشاعر: [من الوافر] 242 - تخف الأرض إذا مازلت عنها... وتبقى ما بقيت بها ثقيلا
