المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿على سرر متقابلين﴾ [الحجر: 47]. السرر: جمع سرير، وهو ما يجلس عليه، مأخوذ من السرور، لأنه مجلس أولي النعمة. ويجمع على أسرة. وفي الحديث: «ملوك على الأسرة». وسرير الميت؛ على التفاؤل بذلك، وكأنه حصل له بلقاء ربه سرور لخروجه من السجن المشار إليه بقوله -صلى الله عليه وسلم -: «الدنيا سجن المؤمن».
