        فتح بن سعيد الموصلي. أبو نصر الزاهد، أحد سادات مشايخ الصوفية.
        له أحوال ومقامات. يقال إنه كان يتقوت بفلس نخالة.
        وورد أنه رأى صبيين، مع ذا كسرةٌ عليها كامخ، ومع الآخر كسرةٌ عليها عسل. فقال صاحب الكامخ: أطعمني من عسلك.
        قال: إن صرت لي كلباً أطعمتك.
        قال: نعم.
        فجعل في عنقه حبلاً وقال: انبح.
        قال فتح: لو قنعت بكامخك ما صرت له كلباً. ثم قال: هكذا الدنيا.

        He had years and standing. It is said he nourished himself by pennyworth bran.
        It happened that he saw two youngsters, one had a scrap of kāmiḵ, the other a scrap of honey.
        And the holder of the kāmiḵ said: Give me your honey to taste.
        If you make me a dog it’s your food.
        He said: Okay.
        And he put a rope onto his neck and said: Bark!
        Fatḥ said: If you had contented yourself with your kāmiḵ you wouldn’t have become a dog for it. Then he said: Such is the world.

    Usage notes
    • Like other copulative verbs, صَار is allowed to follow its predicate.

    Etymology 2

    Fused from صَار (ṣār) +‎ إِلـ (ʔil-, belonging to), where the latter can be used idiomatically in the meaning “(of time) passing relative to”. For the ultimate fusing-together, where the once-freestanding إلـ (ʔil-) adopted the shape of ـلـ (-l-, dative suffix), compare the development of بَعدِلّـ (baʕdill-, (of time) remaining for).

    Adverb

    صار (ṣar, ṣār)

    1. (false verb) Used with ـلـ (-l-) and a past duration of time to refer to something that has been happening over this duration of time
      صرلك سنين بتحبها
      ṣar-lak snīn bitḥibba.
      You’ve loved her for years.
      صرلي تلات تيام ما شفته
      ṣar-li tlāt tiyyām mā šifto.
      I haven’t seen him in three days.
      صرلن صحبة من الصف التاني
      ṣar-lun ṣuḥbe min ṣ-ṣaff t-tāni.
      They’ve been friends since second grade.
    Usage notes
    • Sentences with ṣar-l- tend to have some adverbial of time in them. As can be seen from the examples, the construction can be followed by either a verbal or a nominal sentence.
