اِسَّاقَطَ [originally

in the Kur [xix. 25],

above-mentioned explanation, but less fully given,

سُقِطَ فِىيَدِهِ, and
أُسْقِطَ ↓
فى
يده, (Fr, Zj, S, M, K,) but the former is more
common, and better, (Fr,) the latter allowed by
Akh, but disallowed by AA and by Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e. Th], (S,) [lit.
There was a falling, and
there was a making to fall, upon his hand; i. e.,
of his hand upon his hand, or of his teeth upon
his hand, by reason of repentance, and grief, or
regret; meaning] (tropical:)
he repented, (Fr, Zj, S, M,
K,)
of what he had done; and grieved for, or
regretted, an act of inadvertence; (Zj, M;) or,
and became confounded, or
perplexed, and unable
to see his right course: (O, K:) or both signify,
(TA,) or signify also, (K,) or the former signifies
also, (M,)
he slipped; fell into an error, or
a
fault; committed a mistake. (M, K.) Hence the
saying in the Kur [vii. 148],
وَلَمَّا سُقِطَ فِى أَيْدِيهِمْ
(tropical:)
And when they repented: (S:) or
struck their
hands upon their hands, by reason of repentance;
accord. to AAF: (M:) or
repented greatly;
because he who repents, and grieves, or regrets,
bites his hand in sorrow, so that his hand is fallen
upon [by his teeth]: (Bd:) the phrase was not
known to the Arabs before the time of the Kur-án:
(O:) it has also been read
سَقَطَ فى ايديهم, (Akh,
S, M,) as though
النَّدَمُ were understood; (Akh,
S;) i. e.
سَقَطَ النَّدَمُ; like as you say,
قَدْ حَصَلَ
فِى يَدِهِ مِنْ هٰذَا مَكْرُوهٌ, likening what comes into
the heart, and into the mind, to what comes into
the hand, and is seen with the eye: (M, TA:)
