Definition of Ṣghā
As-saghw: the inclination.
One says: the stars and sun inclined.
The Almighty says: 'Your hearts have inclined' (At-Tahrim 4), meaning they leaned toward other than what they should have.
Inclination can be good or bad depending on its object.
And [it is] so the hearts of those who disbelieve in the Hereafter will incline toward it and that they will be satisfied with it and that they will commit that which they are committing.
If you two [wives] repent to Allah, [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him - then indeed Allah is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants.
God and His angels shower their blessings on the Prophet. O believers, you should also send your blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy greeting.
