, (S, M, K;) also pronounced سُولٌ, without ء, (S, K,) [A petition; or a request; meaning] a thing that people ask or beg; (S;) or a thing that one has asked or begged; (M, K;) as also ↓ سُوءْلَةٌ, (IJ, M, K,) which is likewise pronounced سُولَةٌ, without ء; (K;) and ↓ سُوءُولٌ; (Har p. 422; [or this is apparently plural of سُوءْلٌ, like as بُرُوجٌ is of بُرْجٌ, and بُرُودٌ of بُرْدٌ, &c.;]) [and ↓ سَأْلَةٌ or سَأَلَةٌ, as will be shown by what follows;] and ↓ مَسْوءُولٌ; (Msb;) [and ↓ مَسْأَلَةٌ:] see 4: the first of these said by Z to be of the measure فُعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; like عُرْفٌ and نُكْرٌ. (TA.) Thus in the Qur'an, 20:36, قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُوءْلَكَ يَا مُوسَى Thou hast been granted thy petition, or the thing that thou hast asked, O Moses. (S, M, TA.) In the saying ↓ اَللّٰهُمَّ أَعْطِنَا سَأَلَاتِنَا [O God, grant Thou us our petitions], mentioned by Aboo- 'Alee on the authority of AZ, the verbal noun is used as a subst., properly so termed, and is therefore pluralized.
