مُسْمَعٌ

[pass. particle n. of 4, q. v.]. وَاسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍ, in the Qur'an, 4:48, means [And hear thou without being made to hear; i. e.] mayest thou not be made to hear: (Ibn-'Arafeh, K:) or mayest thou not hear, (Akh, S, Bd, Jel,) by reason of deafness, or of death; (Bd;) said by way of imprecation: (Az, Er-Rághib:) or hear thou without being made to hear speech which thou wouldest approve: or not being made to hear what is disliked; according to which explanation, it is said hypocritically: or hear thou speech which thou wilt not be made [really] to hear; because thine ear will be averse from it; according to which explanation, what follows the verb is an objective complement: or hear thou without having thine invitation assented to: (Bd:) or without having what thou sayest accepted. (Mujáhid, K.)
