Its root in the classical dictionaries
أصل الأمن: طمأنينة النفس وزوال الخوف، والأمن والأمانة والأمان في الأصل مصادر، ويجعل الأمان تارة اسما للحالة التي يكون عليها الإنسان في الأمن، وتارة اسما لما يؤمن عليه الإنسان، نحو قوله تعالى: وتخونوا أماناتكم [الأنفال/ 27] ، أي: ما ائتمنتم عليه، وقوله: إنا عرضنا الأمانة على السماوات والأرض [الأحزاب/ 72] قيل: هي كلمة…
الهمزة والميم والنون أصلان متقاربان: أحدهما الأمانة التي هي ضد الخيانة، ومعناها سكون القلب، والآخر التصديق. والمعنيان كما قلنا متدانيان. قال الخليل: الأمنة من الأمن. والأمان إعطاء الأمنة. والأمانة ضد الخيانة.
O Prophet!
When believing women come
To thee to take the oath
Of fealty to thee, that they
Will not associate in worship
Any other thing whatever
With God, that they
Will not steal, that they
Will not commit adultery
(Or fornication), that they
Will not kill their children,
That they will not utter
Slander, intentionally forging
Falsehood, and that they
Will not disobey thee
In any just matter,
Then do thou receive
Their fealty, and pray to God
For the forgiveness (of
Their sins): for God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
It may be, if he
Divorced you (all)
That God will give him
In exchange Consorts
Better than you,
Who submit (their wills),
Who believe, who are devout,
Who turn to God in repentance,
Who worship (in humility),
Who travel (for Faith) and fast,—
Previously married or virgins.
"O my Lord! Forgive me,
My parents, all who
Enter my house in Faith,
And (all) believing men
And believing women:
And to the wrong-doers
Grant Thou no increase
But in Perdition!"
Those who persecute (or draw
into temptation)
The Believers, men and women,
And do not turn
In repentance, will have
The Penalty of Hell:
They will have the Penalty
Of the Burning Fire.
