قوله تعالى: ﴿إن ربك حكيم عليم﴾ [الأنعام:83] الحكيم ذو الحكمة والحكم، وأصل المادة على منع لا بعلاج، ومنه حكمة الدابة تجعل عند فكها لتمنعها من الجماح. يقال: حكمت الدابة. منعتها بالحكمة، وأحكمتها: جعلت لها حكمة، وكذا حكمت السفينة وأحكمتها. وأنشد لجرير: [من الكامل] 384 - أبني حنيفة أحكموا سفهاءكم... إني أخاف عليكم أن أغضبا
