Its root in the classical dictionaries
الصاحب: الملازم إنسانا كان أو حيوانا، أو مكانا، أو زمانا. ولا فرق بين أن تكون مصاحبته بالبدن- وهو الأصل والأكثر-، أو بالعناية والهمة، وعلى هذا قال:279-لئن غبت عن عزيني لما غبت عن قلبي
قوله تعالى: ﴿أصحاب الجنة﴾ [البقرة: 82] أصلها الاجتماع طال زمنها أو قصر. وقيل: الصاحب: الملازم إنسانا كان أو حيوانا أو مكانا أو زمانا. قيل: لا فرق بين أن تكون المصاحبة بالبدن. وهو الأصل والأكثر، وبالعناية والهمة. قال الراغب: ولا يقال في العرف إلا لمن كثرت ملازمته. يقال لمالك الشيء: هو صاحبه. ويقال أيضا: لمن يمتلك…
serve God, and join not
Any partners with Him;
And do good
To parents, kinsfolk,
Orphans, those in need,
Neighbours who are near,
Neighbours who are strangers,
The Companion by your side,
The way-farer (ye meet),
And what your right hands possess:
For God loveth not
The arrogant, the vainglorious;—
If ye help not (your Leader),
(it is no matter): for God
Did indeed help him,
When the Unbelievers
Drove him out: he had
No more than one companion:
They two were in the Cave,
And he said to his companion,
"Have no fear, for God
Is with us": then God
Sent down His peace upon him,
And strengthened him with forces
Which ye saw not, and humbled
To the depths the word
Of the Unbelievers.
But the word of God
Is exalted to the heights:
For God is Exalted in might, Wise
"O my two companions
Of the prison! As to one
Of you, he will pour out
The wine for his lord to drink:
As for the other, he will
Hang from the cross, and the birds
Will eat from off his head.
(So) hath been decreed
That matter whereof
Ye twain do enquire"…
(Abundant) was the produce
This man had: he said
To his companion, in the course
Of a mutual argument:
"More wealth have I
Than you, and more honour
And power in (my following
Of) men."
His companion said to him,
In the course of the argument
With him: "Dost thou deny
Him Who created thee
Out of dust, then out of
A sperm-drop, then fashioned
Thee into a man?
Say: "I do admonish you
On one point: that ye
Do stand up before God,—
(It may be) in pairs,
Or (it may be) singly,—
And reflect (within yourselves):
Your Companion is not
Possessed: he is no less
Than a Warner to you,
In face of a terrible
Penalty."
