The true dawn (al-fajr as-sadiq): the whiteness that crosses the horizon; before it comes the false dawn, and it appears elongated lengthwise. As-sadaq: the bridal dower (mahr) (plural: asdiqahu, suduq). As-sidaq: the dower. As-sidaqah: the bond of friendship and love between friends. As-siddiq: one who is nothing but truthful in speech, deed or companionship; the epithet of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). As-sadq: the perfection of every thing; one says: a spear sadq: perfectly straight; a man sadq al-liqa': constant to his word. As-sidq: the conformity of speech to reality according to the speaker's belief; it is the opposite of lying. In the noble hadith: 'Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man keeps being truthful until he is with Allah as a truthful one (siddiq). Lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Fire. A man keeps lying until he is recorded with Allah as a liar.' Solidity and firmness; the upright deed, bearing no trace of defect or falsehood. In the Noble Quran: 'Say: my Lord, cause me to enter a truthful entrance and bring me out a truthful exit, and grant me from Yourself a supporting authority' (Al-Isra', 80), that is: that his entry and exit be established truth for Allah, the Most High, and for His pleasure, joined to attaining what is sought. In the lexicon of the people of inner reality (ahl al-haqiqah): the word of truth in the places of perdition (al-Jurjani). In the word of al-Qushayri: that there be no adulteration in your states, no doubt in your belief, no defect in your deeds. In the word of al-Raghib al-Isfahani: the conformity of speech to the soul (inner conviction) and to what one chooses; if a condition fails it is no longer sidq, but either a lie, or an oscillation between the two from two aspects, as the word of the hypocrite: 'Muhammad is the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)': it is correct to say he is truthful, since the content is so, and correct to say he lied, since the speech contradicts the conviction of the speaker. As-sadaqah: what is given seeking nearness to Allah, the Most High (plural: sadaqat). In the Noble Quran: 'If you disclose the charities, they are good; but if you hide them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will expiate some of your misdeeds. And Allah is Aware of what you do' (Al-Baqarah, 271). The sadaqah is indeed: the voluntary sadaqah and the obligatory sadaqah, which is the zakat. The sadaqah jariyah (continuing charity): in the noble hadith: 'When a man dies his deeds cease, except from three: a continuing charity (sadaqah jariyah), or beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.' According to the Malikis, Hanafis, Shafi'is, Hanbalis and Ibadis: the gift by which one seeks reward from Allah, the Most High. According to the Ja'faris: voluntarily undertaking to transfer ownership of a thing without counter-value. In the Mejelle (article 835): the wealth given for the sake of reward. As-sadaqah: the dower (plural: sadaqat). In the Noble Book: 'And give the women their dowers (sadaqatihinna) graciously. But if they willingly give up to you a part of it, then enjoy it in comfort and ease' (An-Nisa', 4). An-nihlah: the gift given graciously, without counter-value; that is: the man must pay the dower to the woman as an obligation, and make a gracious gift (nihlah); likewise he must give the woman her dower graciously; if she, after it is fixed, cedes to him a part of it, let him enjoy it lawfully and agreeably. As-sidaqah: the sadaqah. As-sadiq: the sincere companion in affection (plural: asdiqa', sadaqa); the word may be used for the singular and the feminine plural: one says: he is sadiq, they are sadaqa, she is sadaqah, they (f.) are sadaqa; one also says for the feminine singular: sadiqah. Al-mutasaddiq: one who gives charity. In the Noble Book: 'Allah rewards the givers of charity (al-mutasaddiqin)' (Yusuf, 88).
