سَايءِحٌ

[Hence,] (tropical:) A man going, or journeying, [as a devotee, or otherwise,] through the land or earth. (A.)

And, as being likened thereto, (tropical:) Fasting, or a faster: (A:) or a faster who keeps to the mosques: (K:) the faster is said to be thus called because he who journeys as a devotee does so without having any provision with him, and eats only when he finds provision: therefore the faster is likened to him. (TA.) السَّايءِحُونَ in the Qur'an, 9:113 means (tropical:) The fasters: (Bd, Jel, TA:) so say Zj and I'Ab and Ibn-Mes'ood: (TA:) or those who observe the obligatory fasts: or those who fast constantly: (TA:) or those who journey to war against unbelievers, or to seek knowledge. (Bd.) And سَايءِحَات in the Qur'an, 66:5 means (assumed tropical:) Women who fast: or who forsake their country or homes [for the sake of God]. (Bd, Jel.)

This last (سايءحات [if not a mistranscription for سَابِحَات]) also means (assumed tropical:) Swift horses:

and (assumed tropical:) The planets. (KL.)
