هِىَ مِنِّى صِرَّى

, said of an oath, (S,) or هُوَ مِنِّى, صِرَّى, (M, K,) and ↓ أَصِرَّى, and ↓ صِرِّى, and ↓ أَصِرِّى, (Yaakoob, S, M, K,) and ↓ صُرَّى and ↓ صُرِّى, (K, TA,) or ↓ صُرِّىٌّ and ↓ صِرِّىٌّ, (as in a copy of the M,) It is a determination, or resolution, from me; (S, M, K;) a serious assertion; not a jest. (S, K.) Aboo-Semmál El-Asadee, his she-camel having strayed, said, “ I swear to Thee, [O God,] that, if Thou restore her not to me, I will not serve Thee: ” (S:) or, “ O God, if Thou restore her not to me, I will not say a prayer to Thee: ” (TA:) and he found her, her nose-rein having caught to a thorntree (عَوْسَجَة); and he took her, and said, عَلِمَ رَبِّى أَنَّهَا مِنِّى صِرَّى My Lord knew that it was a determination, or resolution, or serious assertion, from me: (S:) or a confirmed determination: (ISk:) it is derived from أَصْرَرْتُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ “ I persevered, or persisted, in the thing: ” (S:) [or “ I determined, or resolved, upon the thing: ”] AHeyth says, ↓ صِرِّى, i. e., Determine thou, or resolve thou; as though he addressed himself; from أَصَرَّ عَلَى فِعْلِهِ “ he determined, or resolved, upon going on in doing it, and not turning back: ” it is also said that ↓ أَصِرّى is changed into ↓ أَصِرَّى, like as they say بِأَبِى أَنْتَ and بِأَبَا أَنْتَ: and in like manner, ↓ صِرِّى is changed into صِرَّى; the ا in أَصِرِّى being elided: not that they are two dialect vars., صَرَرْتُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ and أَصْرَرْتُ: and Fr. says that صِرَّى and ↓ أَصِرَّى are originally imperatives; and that, when they desired to change them [i. e. the imperatives] into nouns, they changed the ى into | [written ى after fet-h]: and in like manner, [changing verbs into nouns,] they say, نُهِىَ عَنْ قِيلٍ وَقَالٍ; &c. (TA.) Accord. to AZ, one says, ↓ إِنَّهَا مِنِّى لَأَصِرَّى meaning Verily, it is a truth, or reality, from me; and Aboo-Málik says the same of ↓ أَصِرِّى. (TA.)
