Meaning: smooth rock
أصل الصفاء: خلوص الشيء من الشوب، ومنه: الصفا، للحجارة الصافية. قال تعالى:
قوله تعالى: ﴿وأنهار من عسل مصفى﴾ [محمد: 15] أي خالص مما يشوبه. والصفو: الخلوص، ومنه الاصطفاء افتعال من الصفو، وهو تناول صفو الشيء كالاختيار: تناول خيره، والاجتباء: تناول جبايته. وصفي الغنم: ما يصطفيه الإمام لنفسه فيخلص له. قال الشاعر: [من الوافر]
Verses 1–1 of 1
O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity By reminders of your generosity Or by injury,—like those Who spend their substance To be seen of men, But believe neither In God nor in the Last Day. They are in Parable like a hard, Barren rock, on which Is a little soil: on it Falls heavy rain, Which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing With aught they have earned. And God guideth not Those who reject faith.
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:264
