Meaning: the torrent · Also translated as: flood
السيلان: جريان الماء. ومنه قوله تعالى: ﴿وأسلنا له عين القطر﴾ [سبأ: 12] أي أذبناه حتى سال سيلان المائعات. وقرئ: ﴿سال سايل﴾ [المعارج: 1] فقيل: هو واد يسيل عليهم بأنواع العذاب. يقال: سال يسيل سيلانا. وقيل: هو من السؤال، وأبدلت الهمزة ألفا. وأنشد: [من البسيط]
السين والياء واللام أصل واحد يدل على جريان وامتداد.
Verses 1–2 of 2
He sends down water From the skies, and the channels Flow, each according to its measure: But the torrent bears away The foam that mounts up To the surface. Even so, From that (ore) which they heat In the fire, to make ornaments Or utensils therewith, There is a scum likewise. Thus doth God (by parables) Show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum disappears Like froth cast out; While that which is for the good Of mankind remains On the earth. Thus doth God Set forth parables.
Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 13:17But they turned away (From God), and We sent Against them the flood (Released) from the Dams, And We converted their two Garden (rows) into "gardens" Producing bitter fruit, And tamarisks, and some few (Stunted) Lote-trees.
Surah Saba, verse 34:16
