ground: (ISd, Msb, TA:) but سُجُود to God
denotes a particular manner [of doing this; i. e.
the prostrating oneself in prayer by dropping
gently upon the knees, placing the palms of the
hands on the ground, a little before the place of
the knees, and then putting the nose and forehead
on the ground, the former first, between the two
hands]. (Msb.) ―
2-b3- It is said of Kisrà, in a trad.,
كَانَ يَسْجُدْ لِلطَّالِع, i. e. He used to lower himself, or bend himself down, to the arrow passing
beyond the butt, going over it; which they used
to reckon like that which hit the butt; meaning
that he used to concede to the shooter thereof:
or, accord. to Az, it means that he used to lower
his head when his arrow was elevated [too high]
above the object shot at, in order that the arrow
might be rightly directed, and might hit the
circle. (TA.) ―

the Kur [lv. 5], means, accord. to Fr, (assumed tropical:) [And
the herbs and the trees] turn towards the sun
and incline with it until the afternoon-shade becomes broken: (TA:) or the herbs and the trees
humbly submit to his will. (Bd, Jel.) The سُجُود

are made subservient, and as a fact to be believed
without inquiry into the manner thereof. (I'Ab,
L.) ＝
