1 شَرَعَتِ الدَّوَابٌّ فِى المَآءِ, (S, K,) aor. ـَ (S,) inf. n. شَرْعٌ and شُرُوعٌ, [the latter of which is the more common,] and ↓ مَشْرُوعٌ, (TA, [there said to be syn. with شُرُوعٌ, like as مَيْسُورٌ is with يُسْرٌ,]) The beasts entered into the water, (S, K, TA,) and drank of it: (TA:) and شَرَعَ, aor. as above, and so the inf. ns., he (one coming to water to drink) took the water with his mouth: (TA:) or شَرَعْتُ فِى المَآءِ, inf. ns. as above, I drank the water with my hands: or I entered into the water: and شَرَعَ المَالُ the cattle came to the water to drink: (Msb:) and الدَّابَّةُ ↓ شَرَّعَتِ [if not a mistranscription for شُرِّعَت] the beast was, or became, at the watering-place.

And شَرَعَ المَنْزِلُ The dwelling was upon, (S, K,) or had its door [opening] upon, (TA,) a road that was a thoroughfare. (S, K, TA.) b4: شَرَعَ said of a spear, It pointed directly [towards a person: see an explanation of the trans. verb in what follows]. (S, K: but in the latter, شَرَعَت, said of spears.) See also شَرْعٌ. b5: And, said of a road, (Mgh,) and of an affair, or a case, (TA,) It was, or became, apparent, manifest, or plain. (IAar, Mgh, TA.) A2: شَرَعَ المَالَ, aor. as above, [inf. n., app., شَرْعٌ,] He brought the cattle to the watering-place; a also ↓ اشرعهُ: (Msb:) and the former is trans. in this sense by means of بِ: (Har p. 21:) or شَرَعَ (TA) and ↓ شرّع, inf. n. of the latter تَشْرِيعٌ, (S, TA,) he made the beasts, (S,) or his camels, (TA,) to enter into the water [to drink]: (S, TA: *) and نَاقَتَهُ ↓ اشرع he made his she-camel to enter into the watering-place: (TA:) or ↓ تَشْرِيعٌ signifies the bringing camels to the wateringplace to drink without requiring in doing so to draw with the pulley and its appertenances nor to give them to drink in a watering-trough or tank. (O, K.) It is said in a prov, (S,) أَهْوَنُ

↓ السَّقْىِ التَّشْرِيعُ (S, K) The easiest mode of watering is the making of the camels to enter into the water: applied to him who takes an easy way of performing an affair, and does not exert himself therein. (Meyd. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii.

889.]) b2: شَرَعَ البَابَ إِلَى الطَّرِيقِ He made the door, or entrance, to communicate with the road: (Msb:) and الى الطريق ↓ اشرعهُ (S, Msb, K, TA) signifies the same; (Msb, TA;) or he opened it (i. e. the door, or entrance,) to the road.

(TA.) Accord. to Az, this meaning of شَرَعَ is from شَرَعَ الإِهَابَ [which see in what follows]. (TA.) One says, شَرَعَ اللّٰهُ لَنَا كَذَا God made apparent, manifest, or plain, to us, such a thing. (Msb.) And شَرَعَ فُلَانٌ Such a one made apparent, manifest, or plain, the truth, or right. (TA.) b5: and شَرَعَ لَهُمْ i. q. سَنَّ [i. e. He instituted, established, or prescribed, for them, or to them, a religious ordinance, a law, &c.]: (S, K) whence [accord. to some,] شَرِيعَةٌ and شِرْعَةٌ. (TA.) b6: شَرَعَ الإِهَابَ, (S, K,) aor. as above, inf. n. شَرْعٌ, (S,) He stripped off the hide: (S, K:) or, accord. to Yaakoob, as heard by him from Umm-El-Homáris El-Bekreeyeh, he slit the hide in the part between the two hind legs, (S, TA,) and then stripped it off: or he slit the hide, [and then stripped it off,] not making of it a زِقّ [q. v.], nor stripping it off [entire] by commencing from one hind leg.

(O, K.) b8: and شَرَعَ الشَّىْءَ He raised, or elevated, the thing much; (K;) as also ↓ اشرعهُ. (TA.) 2 شَرَّعَ see 1, in six places.

A2: شرّع السَّفِينَةَ, inf. n. تَشْرِيعٌ, He made, or put, a sail (شِرَاع) to the ship, or boat.

(TA.) And it is said in a trad. (respecting the [ablution termed] وُضُوْء), حَتَّى

أَشْرَعَ فِى العَضُدِ meaning Until, or so that, he made the upper half of the arm to reach to (lit. to enter) the water. (TA.

(TA.) b5: See, again, 1, latter half, in six places.8 فُلَانٌ يَشْتَرِعُ شِرْعَتَهُ [meaning Such a one originates, or embraces, or follows, his way of religion] is similar to the phrases يَفْتَطِرُ فِطْرَتَهُ and يَمْتَلُّ مِلَّتَهُ; from شِرْعَةُ الدِّينِ and فِطْرَتُهُ and مِلَّتُهُ. (TA.) شَرْعٌ, originally an inf. n.: b2: then applied as a name for A manifest, a plain, or an open, track, or road, or way: b3: and then, metaphorically, to The divine way of religion; so says Er-Rághib; (TA;) syn. with شَرِيعَةٌ, q. v. (Msb.) b4: In the saying مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ شَرْعِكَ, (so in the K,) or مررت بِرَجُلٍ شَرْعُكَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ, (so in the S and O, [ for هُوَ شَرْعُكَ,]) with kesr and with damm to the ع [of شرعك], (TA,) i. e. [I passed by a man] sufficing thee [as a man], (S, O, K,) the meaning is, of the sort to which thou directest thyself and which thou seekest (فِيهِ وَتَطْلُبُهُ ↓ تَشْرَعُ): (S, O:) and the word in this sense is used alike as sing. and pl. (S, O, K) and dual, because it is [originally] an inf. n. (S, O.) You say, شَرْعُكَ هٰذَا [and هٰذَانِ and هٰؤُلَآءِ] i. e. Sufficient for thee [is this and are these two and are these]. (S: and the like is said in the Mgh.) And it is said in a prov., شَرْعُكَ مَا بَلَّغَكَ المَحَلَّا thus correctly, for it is a hemistich; not المَحَلَّ, as in the S and K; (TA;) i. e. Sufficient travel-ling-provision for thee is that which will cause thee to reach the place [of alighting] to which thou repairest: (K, TA:) applied to the case of being content with little. (S, K.) b5: See also شَرَعٌ, in two places. b6: And see شِرْعَةٌ.

شِرْعٌ [in the CK, erroneously, شَرْع,] The like of a thing; as also ↓ شِرْعَةٌ: (K, TA:) [but the former is masc. and ↓ the latter is fem.; for] one says, هٰذَا شِرْعُ هٰذَا This is the like of this; and so هٰذِهِ هٰذِهِ ↓ شِرْعَةُ: and هٰذَانِ شِرْعَانِ these two are likes. (S, O, TA.) [The pls., or rather coll. gen. ns. and pls., following this meaning in the K belong to شِرْعَةٌ and شَرْعَةٌ in another sense; as is shown by exs. in the O and TA.]

A2: Also The chords of the بَرْبَط, (O, K, TA,) which is the [Persian] عُود [or lute]. (TA.) [In this sense, a coll. gen. n.:] see its n. un. شِرْعَةٌ. b2: And hence, as being likened thereto, (TA,) (tropical:) The [thong called] شِرَاك of a sandal. (O, K, TA.) It is related in a trad. that a man said, إِنِّى أُحِبُّ الجَمَالَ حَتَّى فِى شِرْعِ نَعْلِى (O, TA) i. e. (tropical:) [Verily I love elegance, even] in the شراك of my sandal. (TA.) شَرَعٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ.

A2: One says, النَّاسُ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ شَرَعٌ and ↓ شَرْعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the latter a contraction of the former, (Msb,) allowed by Kr and Kz, but disallowed by Yaakoob, (IDrst, TA,) The people are in this affair equals: (S, Msb, K:) in this sense, used alike as sing. and pl. and fem. (S, TA) and masc.: (TA:) [of شَرَعٌ] Az says that it seems to be pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] of ↓ شَارِعٌ, like as خَدَمٌ is of خَادِمٌ; i. e., [the phrase means] the people enter into this affair (يَشْرَعُونَ فِيهِ) together. (TA.) One says also, النَّاسُ شَرَعٌ وَاحِدٌ and واحد ↓ شَرْعٌ, meaning The people are one sort. (K.) شَرْعَةٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

شِرْعَةٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ, in two places. b2: Also A custom. (TA.) b3: See also شِرْعٌ, first sentence, in three places.

A2: Also A snare for the birds called قَطًا, (Lth, O, K, TA,) with which to capture them, (O, TA,) made of sinews: (Lth, O, TA:) pl. شِرَعٌ. (O.) b2: Also, (S, O, K,) and ↓ شَرْعَةٌ, (K,) A string, or chord: (S, O, K, TA:) or such as is slender: or while continuing stretched upon the bow; (TA;) and so ↓ شِرَاعٌ; (Lth, O, K;) or upon the lute; and so ↓ شِرَاعٌ: (TA:) the pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] (of ↓ شِرْعَةٌ, S, O, [i. e. of this n. un. meaning the “ chord of a lute,” as is shown by exs. in the O and TA,]) is ↓ شِرْعٌ (S, O, K) and (that of ↓ شَرْعَةٌ, TA) ↓ شَرْعٌ, (O, K, TA,) like as تَمْرٌ is of تَمْرَةٌ, (O, TA,) and [the pl. properly so termed] (of شِرْعَةٌ, S, O) شِرَعٌ, and pl. pl. شِرَاعٌ: (S, O, K:) and the pl. of ↓ شِرَاعٌ as a sing. syn. with شِرْعَةٌ is شُرُعٌ. (TA.) شَرَعَةٌ i. q. سَقِيفَةٌ [i. e. A roof, or covering, such as projects over the door of a house &c.; or a place roofed over]: pl. أَشْرَاعٌ. (O, K.) شَرْعِىٌّ Of, or relating to, the religion or law. b2: And Accordant to the religion or law; legal, or legitimate.]

شُرَاعٌ A plant, or herbage, full-grown, (O, K, TA,) that satiates the camels. (TA.) شِرَاعٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ.

A2: The شِرَاعٌ of a ship or boat (S, Mgh, O, Msb) is called in Pers\. بَادْبَان [i. e. A sail]; (MA, Mgh, KL;) i. q. قِلْعٌ; (MA, TA;) a thing like a wide مُلَآءَة [q. v.], (O, K, TA,) of cloth or of matting, (TA,) [raised, or attached,] upon a piece of wood [i. e. a mast or a yard]; which is beaten upon by the wind (تُصَفِّقُهُ الرِّيحُ,) and causes the ship, or boat, to go along: (O, K, TA:) so called because it is raised (يُشْرَعُ i. e. يُرْفَعُ) above the ship, or boat: (TA:) pl. أَشْرِعَةٌ and شُرُعٌ; (O, K;) the former a pl. of pauc. (O.) b2: And hence, as being likened thereto, (TA, [and the same is implied in the S and O,]) (tropical:) The neck of a camel. (S, O, K, TA.) Sometimes they said of a camel, رَفَعَ شِرَاعَهُ, meaning (tropical:) He raised his neck: (S, O, TA.) b3: One says also رَجُلٌ شِرَاعُ الأَنْفِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) A man having the nose extended, and long. (TA. [See أَشْرَعُ.]) b4: See also شِرْعَةٌ, in three places.

شَرِيعٌ Courageous; (O, K, TA;) applied to a man. (O, TA.) A2: Also Good, or excellent, flax. (K.) b2: And The ليف [or fibres that grow at the base of the branches of the palm-tree] of which the prickles (شَوْك) are strong, and such as, by reason of their thickness, are fit for the sewing of leather therewith. (TA.) شَرَاعَةٌ Courage; (O, K;) as an attribute of a man. (O.) شَرِيعَةٌ and ↓ مَشْرَعَةٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ مَشْرُعَةٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ مَشْرَعٌ (TA) and ↓ شَرَعٌ (O, TA *) and مَآءٍ ↓ شِرَاعُ (TA) A watering-place; a resort of drinkers [both men and beasts]; (S, O, K, TA;) a place to which men come to drink therefrom and to draw water, (Msb, * TA,) and into which they sometimes make their beasts to enter, to drink: (TA:) but the term ↓ مشرعة, (Az, Msb,) or شريعة, (TA,) is not applied by the Arabs to any but [a watering-place] such as is permanent, and apparent to the eye, (Az, Msb, TA,) like the water of rivers, (Msb,) not water from which one draws with the well-rope: (Az, Msb, TA:) the pl. of شَرِيعَةٌ is شَرَائِعُ; and that of ↓ مَشْرَعَةٌ or ↓ مَشْرَعٌ [or of both] is مَشَارِعُ; which is also expl. as meaning gaps, or breaches, in the banks of rivers or the like by which men or beasts come to water: (TA:) and [in like manner it is said that] شَرِيعَةٌ signifies a place of descent to water: (Lth, TA:) or a way to water. (Bd in v. 52.) b2: And hence, (Lth, Kr, Msb, TA, and Bd ubi suprà,) الشَّرِيعَةُ, (Lth, Kr, S, Msb, K, &c.,) as also ↓ الشِّرْعَةُ, (Msb, K, &c.,) and ↓ الشَّرْعُ, (Msb,) signifies likewise الدِّينُ; (Msb, and Bd ubi suprà;) because it is a way to the means of eternal life; (Bd ibid.;) or because of its manifestness; (Msb;) [i. e.] The religious law of God; (Lth, Kr, S, O, K, * TA;) consisting of such ordinances as those of fasting and prayer and pilgrimage (Lth, Kr, TA) and the giving of the poorrate (Kr, TA) and marriage, (Lth, TA,) and other acts (Lth, Kr, TA) of piety, or of obedience to God, or of duty to Him and to men: (Kr, TA:) pl. as above. (Msb.) شَرِيعَةٌ signifies also [A law, an ordinance, or a statute: and] a religion, or way of belief and practice in respect of religion: (Fr, TA:) and a way of belief or conduct that is manifest (Ibn-'Arafeh, Mgh, K) and right (Ibn-'Arafeh, K) in religion; (Mgh;) and so ↓ شِرْعَةٌ. (K.) شُرَاعِىٌّ, as an epithet applied to A spear-head and a spear, of Shuráa, (TA,) which was the name of a certain man who made spear-heads and spears, (K, TA,) as they assert: but IAar says that it may be a reg. rel. n. from شُرَاعٌ, or an irreg. rel. n. from some other name of which the radical latters are شرع: and [SM says also that,] applied to a spear, it signifies long: (TA:) or ↓ شِرَاعِىٌّ, thus applied, has this meaning, a rel. n. [from شِرَاعٌ]. (S, O.) شُرَاعِيَّةٌ and ↓ شِرَاعِيَّةٌ [in the CK without teshdeed], applied to a she-camel, signify (tropical:) Long-necked; (O, K, TA:) thus expl. by ISh: but Az thinks the latter to be the more probably correct; the neck being likened to the شِرَاع of the ship or boat, because of the height thereof.

(Bd, Jel. *) b4: Also, applied to a place of alighting, or an abode, (مَنْزِلٌ,) Situate upon a road that is a thoroughfare: and شَارِعَةٌ applied to a house (دَارٌ) signifies the same; (K;) or having its door [opening] upon such a road; (TA;) or near to the road and to the people [or passengers]: (Mgh, * TA:) and دُورٌ شَارِعَةٌ houses having their doors opening into the streets: or دُورٌ شَوَارِعُ, as expl. by IDrd, houses upon one open road.
