Its root in the classical dictionaries

اللين: ضد الخشونة، ويستعمل ذلك في الأجسام، ثم يستعار للخلق وغيره من المعاني، فيقال: فلان لين، وفلان خشن، وكل واحد منهما يمدح به طورا، ويذم به طورا بحسب اختلاف المواقع. قال تعالى: فبما رحمة من الله لنت لهم

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿فبما رحمة من الليل لنت لهم﴾ [أل عمران: 159] أي خفضت جناحك لهم وتواضعت مع رفعة منزلتك وعلو مرتبتك. واللين في الأصل مقابل الخشونة. وكلاهما مدركان بالحس أعني حاسة اللمس. وحقيقته في الأجسام، ثم يستعمل في الخلق وغيره من المعاني مجازا كما تقدم.

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    It is part of the Mercy Of God that thou dost deal Gently with them. Wert thou severe Or harsh-hearted, They would have broken away From about thee: so pass over (Their faults), and ask For (God's) forgiveness For them; and consult Them in affairs (of moment). Then, when thou hast Taken a decision, Put thy trust in God. For God loves those Who put their trust (in Him).

    Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:159
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    God has revealed (From time to time) The most beautiful Message In the form of a Book, Consistent with itself, (Yet) repeating (its teaching In various aspects): The skins of those who Fear their Lord tremble Thereat; then their skins And their hearts do soften To the celebration of God's praises. Such is The guidance of God: He guides therewith Whom He pleases, but such As God leaves to stray, Can have none to guide.

    Surah Az-Zumar, verse 39:23
