والسكون: وهو حصوله في المكان مسبوقاً بحصوله فيه
Rest is occupation of a place preceded by occupation of that same place.
If a body occupies position A at both an earlier and a later instant, this is characterized as rest. Comparison of successive instants is essential to the definition.
Saying only “the object is now at A” does not tell us whether it has moved there or remained there; its previous spatial condition must be considered.
