الصوم في الأصل: الإمساك عن الفعل مطعما كان، أو كلاما، أو مشيا، ولذلك قيل للفرس الممسك عن السير، أو العلف: صائم.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الصاد والواو والميم أصل يدل على إمساك وركود في مكان. من ذلك صوم الصائم، هو إمساكه عن مطعمه ومشربه وسائر ما منعه. ويكون الإمساك عن الكلام صوما، قالوا في قوله تعالى: ﴿إني نذرت للرحمن صوما﴾ [مريم: 26]، إنه الإمساك عن الكلام والصمت. وأما الركود فيقال للقائم صائم، قال النابغة:

Verses with يصم

Verses 1–2 of 2

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    (Fasting) for a fixed Number of days; But if any of you is ill, Or on a journey, The prescribed number (Should be made up) From days later. For those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, The feeding of one That is indigent. But he that will give More, of his own free will,— It is better for him. And it is better for you That ye fast, If ye only knew.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:184
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    Ramadhān is the (month) In which was sent down The Qur-ān, as a guide To mankind, also clear (Signs) For guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you Who is present (at his home) During that month Should spend it in fasting, But if any one is ill, Or on a journey, The prescribed period (Should be made up) By days later. God intends every facility For you; He does not want To put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete The prescribed period, And to glorify Him In that He has guided you; And perchance ye shall be grateful.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:185
