n.f. 
a name of Hell? a place in Syria, seat of the Last Judgment?, surface of the earth? (Q 79:14) 
▪ … 
▪ eC7 Q 79:14 – Jeffery1938
 
. 
Jeffery1938: »The passage is an early one referring to the Last Day – ‘Lo there will be but a single blast, and behold they are bi’l-sāhiraẗ’ – where the Commentators are divided in opinion as to whether Sāhiraẗ is one of the names of Hell (ĭsm ǧahannami) or a place in Syria which is to be the seat of the Last Judgment, or means the surface of the earth (waǧh al-ʔarḍ), see Ṭab., Baiḍ. and Bagh. on the verse. Sprenger, Leben, ii, 514, notes that ‘aus dem Arabischen lässt es sich nicht erklären’, and suggests that it is derived from the [Hbr] bēt has-sṓhar which as used in Gen. xxxix and xl means ‘prison’. There seems, however, to be no evidence that this sōhar was ever connected with the abode of the wicked, and Schulthess, Umayyaẗ, 118, commenting on the verse of Umayyaẗ – ʕinda-nā ṣaydu baḥrin wa-ṣaydu sāhiraẗin ‘we are permitted hunting on sea and on dry land,’ would explain it from the Aram sḥrtā = Syr sḥartā.1 meaning ‘environs’. He points out that Ar h = Hbr/Aram ḥ is not unknown in words that have come through Nabataean channels.2 It is not impossible, however, to take it as an ordinary Arabic word meaning ‘awake’.«
