(K, TA.) One says, عرّب عَلَيْهِ He showed him, or declared to him, that his saying, and his deed, was bad, &c.; and upbraided him for it. (TA.)

[In both, التَّعْرِيبُ is expl. as meaning تَمْرِيضُ العَرِبِ i. e. الذَّرِبِ المَعِدَةِ. Freytag has strangely rendered the verb as signifying “ ægrotum reddidit aliquem stomachi corruptio. ”]) Az says that التَّعْرِيبُ followed by عَلَى and having for its object him who says what is disapproved may be from this. (TA.) b6: Also The lopping a palm-tree; or pruning it by cutting off some of its branches.

(Msb.) One says, ↓ أَعْرَبُوا فِى الدَّارِ أَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ They paid in advance, as an earnest, in the case of the house, four hundred [dirhems]. (L, TA.) It is related in a trad. that ↓ الإِعْرَاب in buying and selling is forbidden: (Mgh, O, TA:) this is said by Sh to mean A man's saying to another, If I do not purchase this for so much, thou shalt have such and such of my property. (O, TA.) 3 عَاْرَبَ [The following ex. is given of the inf. n. of this verb.] One says, مَا أُوتِىَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ مُعَارَبَةِ النِّسَآءِ مَا أُوتِىَ فُلَانٌ, (O,) or مَا أُوتِيتُهُ أَنَا, (TA,) meaning, (O, TA,) app., (TA,) [No one has been given what such a one has been given, or what I have been given, of] the means of coïtus [with women]. (O, TA.) 4 اعرب, (Az, Msb, TA,) [for اعرب الكَلَامَ, like افصح for افصح الكَلَامَ,] inf. n. إِعْرَابٌ, (A, K,) He spoke clearly, plainly, distinctly, or intel-ligibly, (Az, A, Msb, K, * TA,) in Arabic; (Msb;) as also ↓ تعرّب, and ↓ استعرب; said of a foreigner, or one [previously] not clear, plain, distinct, or intelligible, in speech: (Az, Msb, TA:) and ↓ عَرُبَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. عُرْبٌ and عُرُوبٌ, accord. to Th, and عُرْبَةٌ and عِرَابَةٌ [which accord. to general analogy would be عَرَابَةٌ] and عُرُوبِيَّةٌ; (TA;) or ↓ عَرِبَ, aor. ـَ (Msb;) [likewise] signifies he spoke clearly, plainly, or distinctly, after being barbarous, or vitious, in speech: (Msb, TA:) and ↓ عَرُبَ he spoke without incorrectness; (Msb;) and [so اعرب, for] إِعْرَابٌ signifies the committing no error in speech: (K, TA:) and the expressing of meanings clearly, plainly, distinctly, or perspicuously, by words. (TA.) [↓ عرّب, also, has a similar meaning:] it is said in a trad., أَنْ ↓ كَانُوا يَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُلَقِّنُوا الصَّبِىَّ حِينَ يُعَرِّبُ يَقُولَ لَا إِلَاهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ (O, TA) i. e. [They used to like teaching the boy,] when he spoke distinctly, or articulately, [to say “ There is no deity but God ” seven times.] (TA.) And one says, اعرب الكَلَامَ, and اعرب بِهِ, meaning He made the speech [that he spoke] clear, plain, distinct, or perspicuous. (TA.) And اعرب بِحُجَّتِهِ He declared, or spoke out clearly or plainly, his argument, plea, allegation, or the like, without fearing any one. (S, O.) And أَعْرَبْتُ الشَّىْءَ and اعربت عَنْهُ, and ↓ عَرَّبْتُهُ and عرّبت عَنْهُ, which last, accord. to Fr, is better than عرّبتهُ and اعربتهُ, I made the thing clear, plain, distinct, or manifest. (Msb.) And اعرب عَمَّا فِى ضَمِيرِهِ He declared, or spoke out clearly or plainly, what was in his mind. (TA.) And اعرب عَنْهُ لِسَانُهُ, and ↓ عرّب عنه, His tongue made clear, or plain, or spoke clearly, or plainly, for him: and عَمَّا فِى ↓ يُعَرِّبُ قَلْبِهِ لِسَانُهُ His tongue tells plainly, or declares, what is in his heart. (Az, TA.) It is said in a trad., الثَّيِّبُ تُعْرِبُ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا, (S,) or الأَيِّمُ, and ↓ تُعَرِّبُ, accord. to different relaters, but some say the former only, (Msb,) i. e. [She who has become a widow, or been divorced, &c., or she who has no husband, whether she be a virgin or not, or not being a virgin,] shall speak out plainly for herself [when demanded in marriage]: (S, Msb:) or الثَّيِّبُ يُعْرِبُ عَنْهَا لِسَانُهَا, so accord. to IKt, (O,) or عنها ↓ يُعَرِّبُ, (Mgh, O,) so accord. to A 'Obeyd, but, as IAmb says, both are dial. vars. of which neither is preferable to the other; and the meaning is [she who has become a widow, &c., her tongue] shall declare for her. (O.) One says also, اعرب عَنِ الرَّجُلِ He spoke out, or explained, for the man. (TA.) And عَنِ القَوْمِ ↓ عَرَّبْتُ I spoke for the people, or party; (Fr, S, Mgh, * O, K;) and pleaded for them; (Fr, Mgh, * TA;) as also أَعْرَبْتُ; but the former in this sense is better known. (Mgh.) And اعرب عَنْهُ, and عنه ↓ عرّب, He pleaded his cause. (TA.) and عَنْ حَاجَتِهِ ↓ عرّب He spoke and pleaded for the object of his want. (A.) b2: اعرب also signifies He was, or became, chaste, uncorrupt, or free from barbarousness, in speech; although not an Arab. (Msb.) And لَهُ الكَلَامَ ↓ عَرَّبْتُ, inf. n. تَعْرِيبٌ; as also أَعْرَبْتُ له, inf. n. إِعْرَابٌ; I made the speech [that I spoke] clear, or plain, to him, so that there was in it no barbarousness. (TA.) And مَنْطِقَهُ ↓ عرّب, (S, O,) inf. n. تَعْرِيبٌ, (K,) He made his speech free from error, or incorrectness. (S, O, K.) And أَعْرَبْتُ الحَرْفَ I made the حرف [i. e. word] clear, or plain: or the ا in this case denotes privation, and the meaning is (assumed tropical:) I removed its عرب, [app. ↓ عَرَب, from this word as inf. n. of عَرِبَ used in relation to the stomach &c.,] i. e. vagueness. (Msb.) And اعرب كَلَامَهُ He made his speech free from error, or incorrectness, in [what is termed] الإِعْرَاب [here meaning what grammarians generally intend thereby, namely, desinential syntax, or the science of the various inflections of words, literal or virtual, by reason of the various governing words]. (S, O.) [اعرب is also used by grammarians as meaning He declined a word; and أُعْرِبَ as meaning It was declined, or declinable; in these senses opposed to بَنَى and بُنِىَ, inf. n. بِنَآءٌ: and the former also as meaning He analyzed grammatically, or parsed, a sentence: and the inf. n. of the verb (act. and pass.) in these senses is إِعْرَابٌ.] b3: See also 2, first sentence: b4: and again in the first third part of the paragraph. b5: إِعْرَابٌ also signifies The making [a person] to revert from, or relinquish, foul speech; (K, TA;) and so ↓ تَعْرِيبٌ. (TA.) b6: And The speaking foul, or obscene, language; as also ↓ تَعْرِيبٌ, and ↓ اِسْتِعْرَابٌ: (O, K:) thus it bears two contr. significations. (K, TA.) One says of a man, اعرب [&c.], (S, O,) or اعرب فِى كَلَامِهِ, (Msb,) He spoke foul, or obscene, language. (S, O, Msb.) [Golius and Freytag have assigned this meaning to ↓ تعرّب also: the latter of them as from the S and K; in neither of which do I find it.] b7: And The act of copulating: or the speaking of that act in an oblique, or indirect, manner. (K.) A2: and اعرب, (S, O,) inf. n. إِعْرَابٌ, (K,) He had a child born to him of Arabian complexion, or colour. (S, O, K.) b2: And He possessed, or acquired, or sought to acquire, horses, or camels, of pure Arabian race. (TA. [See also 2, in the middle of the latter half; and see مُعْرِبٌ.]) b3: And إِعْرَابٌ signifies One's knowing a horse of pure Arabian race from one of mean race by his neighing. (K.) And A horse's being known by his neighing to be of pure Arabian race, free from any admixture of other than Arabian blood: (K, TA:) [or his making himself to be known as such by his neighing; for] اعرب means he (a horse) neighed, and was consequently known to be of Arabian race. (A.) b4: And The making a horse to run. (K.) Accord. to Fr, one says, اعرب عَلَى فَرَسِهِ, meaning He made his horse to run: but he adds that some say اغرب. (O.) A3: And إِعْرَابٌ signifies The taking as one's wife a woman such as is termed عَرُوبٌ [q. v.]. (K.) A4: اعرب سَقْىُ القَوْمِ meansThe people's watering [of their camels], having been at one time on alternate days, and another time on the fourth day after that of the next preceding watering, then became, and continued to be, of one uniform way. (S, O.) A5: See also 2, last four sentences.5 تعرّب He assimilated himself to the Arabs. (S.) He (a man not of genuine Arabian descent) introduced himself among the Arabs, and spoke their language, and imitated their manner or appearance; [he became a naturalized, or an insitious, Arab; (see العَرَبُ;)] as also ↓ استعرب. (Az, TA.) b2: He became an Arab of the desert; (S, Mgh;) he returned to the desert, (Az, Mgh, TA,) after he had been dwelling in a region of cities or towns or villages and of cultivated land, and joined himself to the Arabs of the desert. (Az, TA.) Hence, تعرّب بَعْدَ هِجْرَتِهِ He became an Arab of the desert [after his flight, or emigration, for the sake of El-Islám], (S, Mgh,) returning to the desert. (Mgh.) b3: He dwelt, or abode, in the desert. (O, K.) b4: See also 4, first sentence. b5: تَعَرَّبَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا She acted in an amorous manner, or with amorous dalliance, and mani-fested love, to her husband. (A, TA.) b6: Respecting a meaning assigned to تعرّب by Golius and Freytag, see 4, latter half.10 استعرب: see 5: b2: see also 4, first sentence: b3: and the same again in the latter half of the paragraph.

A2: استعرب جَرَبًا, said of a camel, He was affected with mange, or scab, which began in his armpits and groins or similar parts, and his lips, and appeared upon the general extent of his skin. (O.) b2: And استعربت, said of a cow, She desired the bull. (O, K.) Q. Q. 1 عَرْبَنَ: see 2, near the end.

عَرْبٌ is syn. with إِعْرَابٌ in the sense of إِفْصَاحٌ [but app. as a subst. (not an inf. n.) meaning Clear, plain, or distinct, speech]. (TA.) b2: and syn. with عِرَابَةٌ, q. v. (TA.) b3: And syn. with عَرَبٌ as [inf. n. of عَرِبَ, and] meaning نَشَاطٌ [i. e. Briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness]. (O, K.) العُرْبُ: see العَرَبُ, first sentence.

عِرْبٌ Such as is dried up, of the [species of barley-grass called] بُهْمَى: (S, O, K:) or of any herb, or leguminous plant: n. un. with ة: or عِرْبُ البُهْمَى signifies the prickles of the بُهْمَى. (TA.) العَرَبُ, (S, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K, &c.,) as also ↓ العُرْبُ, (S, O, Msb, K,) A certain people, or nation; [the Arabs, or Arabians;] (S, O;) the contr. of العَجَمُ (A, Msb, K, TA) and العُجْمُ; (TA;) the inhabitants of the cities, or large towns, (S, A, O, K,) or of the Arabian cities and towns or villages: (Mgh:) [but now, on the contrary, generally applied to those who dwell in the desert:] or those who have alighted and made their abode in the cultivated regions, and have taken as their homes the Arabian cities and towns or villages, and others also that are related to them: (Az, Msb:) or [accord. to general usage] an appellation of common application [to the whole nation]: (T, K:) [and in the lexicons and lexicological works applied to the desert Arabs of pure speech:] it is of the fem. gender: (Msb, K:) and العَرَبُ has two pls., namely, العُرُبُ, with two dammehs, and الأَعْرُبُ [which is a pl. of pauc.]: (Msb:) the rel. n. [which serves as a sing.] is ↓ عَرَبِىٌّ: (S, O, K: [عَرَبٌ عَرَبِىٌّ in the CK is a mistake:]) accord. to Az, (TA,) this appellation is applied to a man of established Arab lineage, even if he be not chaste, or correct, in speech. (Msb, TA.) The dim. of العَرَبُ is ↓ العُرَيْبُ, (S, O,) without ة, (O, TA,) an extr. word [with respect to analogy, as the undiminished noun is fem.]: (TA:) a poet (Abu-l-Hindee, whose name was 'Abd-El-Mu-min, son of 'AbdEl-Kuddoos, O, TA) says, وَمَكْنُ الضِّبَابِ طَعَامُ العُرَيْبِ وَلَا تَشْتَهِيهِ نُفُوسُ العَجَمْ

[And the eggs of dabbs are food of the little Arabs; but the souls of the Foreigners do not desire them]: in which he uses the dim. form to imply respect, or honour, like as it is used in the saying أَنَا جُذَيْلُهَا المُحَكَّكُ وَعُذَيْقُهَا المُرَجَّبُ [expl. in art. جذل]. (S, O.) b2: ↓ العَرَبُ العَارِبَةُ (in which the latter word is used as a corroborative of the former as in لَيْلٌ لَائِلٌ, S, O) and ↓ العَرَبُ العَرْبَآءُ (S, A, O, Msb, K) and ↓ العَرَبُ العَرَبِيَّةُ (O) and ↓ العَرَبُ العَرِبَةُ (K) and ↓ العَرَبُ العَرِبَاتُ (CK [but this I do not find in any other copy of the K]) are appellations of The pure, or genuine Arabs: (S, A, O, K:) or those who spoke the language of Yaarub Ibn-Kahtán; which is the ancient language: (Msb:) and ↓ العَرَبُ المُسْتَعْرِبَةُ, (S, O, Msb, K,) as also ↓ العَرَبُ المُتَعَرِّبَةُ, (S, O, K,) is an appellation of The insititious [or naturalized Arabs]; (K;) those who are not pure, or genuine, Arabs: (S, O:) or those who spoke the language of Ismá'eel [or Ishmael] the son of Ibráheem [or Abraham], i. e., the dialects of El-Hijáz and the parts adjacent thereto: (Msb:) and the appellation of ↓ مُسْتَعْرِبَةٌ is thought by Az to apply [also] to people not of pure Arabian descent, who have introduced themselves among the Arabs, and speak their language, and imitate their manner or appearance. (TA.) [The former division is most reasonably considered as consisting of the extinct tribes ('Ád, Thamood, and others mentioned in what follows); or of these together with the unmixed descendants of Kahtán, whose claims to the appellation of genuine Arabs are held by many to be equally valid: and the latter division, as consisting of those whose origin is referred, through Ma'add and 'Adnán, to Ismá'eel (or Ishmael), whose wife was descended from Kahtán. What I find in the TA, on this subject, is as follows.] The former of these two divisions consisted of nine tribes, descendants of Irem [or Aram] the son of Sám [or Shem] the son of Nooh [or Noah]; namely, 'Ád, Thamood, Umeiyim, 'Abeel, Tasm, Jedees, 'Imleek [or Amalek], Jurhum, and Webári; and from them Ismá'eel [or Ishmael is said to have] learned the Arabic language: and the ↓ مُتَعَرِّبَة are [said to be] the descendants of Ismá'eel, the descendants of Ma'add the son of 'Adnán the son of Udd: so says Abu-l-Khattáb Ibn-Dihyeh, surnamed Dhun-Nesebeyn: or the former division consisted of seven tribes, namely, 'Ád, Thamood, 'Imleek, Tasm, Jedees, Umeiyim, and Jásim; the main portion of whom has become extinct, some remains of them, only, being scattered among the [existing] tribes: so says IDrd: and the appellation of ↓ العَرَبُ العَارِبَةُ is also given to the descendants of Yaarub the son of Kahtán [only]. (TA.) [It should be observed, however, that the appellation of ↓ المُتَعَرِّبَةُ is, by those who hold the extinct tribes above mentioned as the only genuine Arabs, applied to the unmixed descendants of Kahtán; and ↓ المُسْتَعْرِبَةُ, to those who are held to be the descendants of Ismá'eel: thus in the Mz, 1st نوع.

Also, it should be observed that the appellation of ↓ العَرَبُ العَارِبِةُ, in the conventional language of Arabic lexicology, is often applied to the Arabs of the classical ages, and the later Arabs of the desert who retained the pure language of their ancestors, indiscriminately: it is thus applied by writers quoted in the Mz (1st نوع) to all the descendants of Kahtán, and those of Ma'add the son of 'Adnán (through whom all the descendants of Ismá'eel trace their ancestry) who lived before the corruption, among them, of the Arabic language.] b3: ↓ الأَعْرَابُ is the appellation given to Those [Arabs] who dwell in the desert; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) such as go about in search of herbage and water; and Az adds, whether of the Arabs or of their freedmen: he says that it is applied to those who alight and abide in the desert, and are neighbours of the dwellers in the desert, and journey, or migrate, with them, to seek after herbage and water: (Msb:) it is not a pl. of العَرَبُ, not being like الأَنْبَاطُ, which is pl. of النَّبَطُ; (S, O;) but is a [coll.] gen. n.: (S:) الأَعَارِيبُ occurs as its pl. (S, O, K) in chaste poetry: (S:) it has no sing. [properly so termed]: (K:) the rel. n. is ↓ أَعْرَابِىٌّ, (S, O,) which is applied to single person; (Msb;) as also بَدَوِىٌّ: (TA:) Az says, if one say to an أَعْرَابِىّ, يَا عَرَبِىُّ, he is pleased; and if one say to an عَرَبِىّ, يَا أَعْرَابِىُّ, he is angry. (TA.) b4: Authors differ as to the cause why the عَرَب were thus called: some say, because of the perspicuity of their speech, from إِعْرَابٌ: others, that they were so called from Yaarub the son of Kahtán, who is said to have been the first that spoke the Arabic language; his original language having been, as asserted by IDrd, [what the Arabs term] Syriac; though some say that Ismá'eel was the first that spoke the Arabic language; and some, that Yaarub was the first that spoke Arabic, and that Ismá'eel was the first that spoke the pure Arabic of El-Hijáz, in which the Kur-án was revealed: others say that the عَرَب were so called from العَرَبَةُ, the name of a tract near El-Medeeneh, or a name of Mekkeh and the adjacent region, where Ismá'eel settled, or the same as Tihámeh [as is said in the Mgh, in which this is pronounced to be the most correct derivation], or the general name of the peninsula of Arabia, which is also called العَرَبَاتُ [as is said in the Msb]: but some say that they were so called in like manner as were the فُرْس and the رُوم and the تُرْك and others, not after the name of a land or other than a land, but by the coining of the name, not a term expressive of a quality or a state or condition &c. (TA.) [If the country were called العَرَبَةُ, an inhabitant thereof might be called, agreeably with analogy, عَرَبِىٌّ; and then, the people collectively, العَرَبُ: but I think that the most probable derivation is from the old Hebrew word

עְרֶב, meaning “ a mixed people,”

which the Arabs assert themselves to have been, almost from the first; and in favour of this derivation it may be reasonably urged that the old Himyeritic language agrees more in its vocabulary with the Hebrew and Phœnician than it does with the classical and modern Arabic.]

A2: See also عَرَبَةٌ.

A3: And see عَرِبٌ.

A4: [It also app. signifies (assumed tropical:) Vagueness (considered as an unsoundness) in a word; from the same as inf. n. of عَرِبَ used in relation to the stomach &c.:] see 4, latter half.

عَرَبَةٌ A river that flows with a vehement, or strong, current. (S, O, K.) A2: And i. q. نَفْسٌ [The soul, mind, or self]. (S, O, K.) [It is thought to occur in a pl. sense, without ة, as a coll. gen. n., in the following sense, quoted in the S immediately after the explanation above.] A poet says, (S,) namely, Ibn-Meiyádeh, (O,) لَمَّا أَتَيْتُكَ أَرْجُو فَضْلَ نَائِلِكُمْ

↓ نَفَحْتَنِى نَفَحَةً طَابَتْ لَهَا العَرَبُ [When I came to thee, hoping for the redundance of your bounty, thou gavest me a gift with which the souls were pleased]: (S, O:) thus related by some, and expl. as meaning طَابَتْ لَهَا النُّفُوسُ: but the [approved] relation is, طَارَتْ بِهَا العَرَبُ [(assumed tropical:) which the Arabs made to fly upon the wings of fame], i. e. حَدَّثَتِ العَرَبُ النَّاسَ بِهَا [meaning (assumed tropical:) of which the Arabs talked to the people].

بالضم ثم السكون: اسم لناحيتين بالشام، إحداهما من أعمال حمص ثم من أعمال بارين بين حمص وطرابلس، والأخرى كورة بين بانياس وصور من أعمال دمشق ذات قرى كثيرة، من إحداهما كان الحارث الكذاب الذي ادعى النبوة أيام عبد الملك بن مروان، قال أحمد بن أبي خيثمة زهير بن حرب: حدثنا عبد الوهاب بن نجدة حدثنا محمد بن مبارك حدثنا الوليد بن مسلمة عن عبد الرحمن بن حسان قال: كان الحارث الكذاب من أهل دمشق وكان مولى لابن الجلاس وكان له أب بالحولة، فعرض له إبليس، وكان رجلا متعبدا زاهدا لو لبس جبة من ذهب لرأيت عليه زهادة، قال: وكان إذا أخذ في التحميد لم يستمع السامعون إلى كلام أحسن من كلامه، قال:
فكتب إلى أبيه وهو بالحولة: يا أبتاه اعجل عليّ فإني رأيت أشياء أتخوف أن يكون الشيطان عرض لي، قال: فزاره أبوه غبّا وكتب إليه: يا بنيّ أقبل على ما أمرت به فإن الله تعالى يقول: عَلى من تَنَزَّلُ الشَّياطِينُ تَنَزَّلُ عَلى كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ 26: 221- 222، ولست بأفاك ولا أثيم فامض لما أمرت به، وكان يجيء إلى أهل المسجد رجلا رجلا فيذاكرهم أمره ويأخذ عليهم العهد والميثاق إن هو رأى ما يرضى قبل وإلا كتم عليه، قال: وكان يريهم الأعاجيب، كان يأتي رخامة في المسجد فينقرها بيده فتسبّح، وكان يطعمهم فواكه الصيف في الشتاء، وكان يقول لهم اخرجوا حتى أريكم الليلة فيخرجهم إلى دير مرّان فيريهم رجالا على خيل، فتبعه بشر كثير وفشا الأمر في المسجد وكثر أصحابه حتى وصل الأمر إلى القاسم بن مخيمرة، فعرض على القاسم وأخذ عليه العهد والميثاق إن رضي أمرا قبله وإن كره كتم عليه، فقال له: إني نبيّ، فقال له القاسم: كذبت يا عدوّ الله ما أنت نبي ولا لك عهد ولا ميثاق! فقال له أبو إدريس: ما صنعت شيئا إذ لم يبين حتى نأخذه الآن يفر، قال: وقام من مجلسه حتى دخل على عبد الملك فأعلمه بأمر حادث من الحارث، فأمر عبد الملك بطلبه فلم يقدر عليه، وخرج عبد الملك فنزل الصّبيرة، قال:
واتهم عامة عسكره، يعني بالحارث، أن يكونوا يرون رأيه، وخرج الحارث حتى أتى بيت المقدس فاختفى فيه، وكان أصحابه يخرجون فيلتمسون الرجال فيدخلونهم عليه، وكان رجل من أهل البصرة قد أتى بيت المقدس فأتاه رجل من أصحاب الحارث فقال له:
ههنا رجل يتكلم فهل لك أن تسمع من كلامه؟
قال: نعم، فانطلق معه حتى دخل على الحارث فأخذ في التحميد، فسمع البصريّ كلاما حسنا، قال: ثم أخبره
بأمره وأنه نبي مبعوث مرسل، فقال له: إن كلامك لحسن ولكن في هذا نظر فانظر، فخرج البصري ثم عاد إليه فرد كلامه فقال: إن كلامك لحسن وقد وقع في قلبي وقد آمنت بك وهذا الدين المستقيم، قال: فأمر أن لا يحجب، قال: فأقبل البصري يتردد ويعرف مداخله ومخارجه وأين يذهب وأين يهرب حتى صار من أخص الناس به، ثم قال له:
ائذن لي، فقال: إلى أين؟ فقال: إلى البصرة أكون أول داعية لك بها، قال: فأذن له فخرج البصري مسرعا إلى عبد الملك وهو بالصّبيرة، فلما دنا من سرادقه صاح النصيحة النصيحة! فقال أهل العسكر: وما نصيحتك؟
قال: هي نصيحة لأمير المؤمنين، قال: فأمر عبد الملك أن يأذنوا له فدخل وعنده أصحابه، قال:
فصاح النصيحة النصيحة! فقال: وما نصيحتك؟
قال: اخلني لا يكن عندك أحد، قال: فأخرج من كان عنده، وكان عبد الملك قد اتهم أهل عسكره أن يكون هواهم معه، ثم قال له: ادنني، فأدناه وعبد الملك على السرير، فقال: ما عندك؟ فقال:
عندي أخبار الحارث، فلما سمع عبد الملك بذكر الحارث طرد نفسه من السرير ثم قال: أين هو؟
قال: يا أمير المؤمنين هو بالبيت المقدس وقد عرفت مداخله، وقص عليه قصته وكيف صنع به، فقال له:
أنت صاحبه وأنت أمير بيت المقدس وأميرها ههنا فمرني بما شئت، فقال: ابعث معي قوما لا يفقهون الكلام، فأمر أربعين رجلا من أهل فرغانة وقال لهم:
انطلقوا مع هذا فما أمركم به من شيء فأطيعوه، قال: وكتب إلى صاحب بيت المقدس إن فلانا لأمير عليك حتى تخرج فأطعه فيما يأمرك به، فلما قدم البيت المقدس أعطاه الكتاب فقال له: مرني بما شئت، فقال له: اجمع لي إن قدرت كل شمعة تقدر عليها ببيت المقدس وادفع كل شمعة إلى رجل ورتبهم على أزقة بيت المقدس فإذا قلت أسرجوا فليسرجوا جميعا، قال: فرتبهم في أزقة بيت المقدس وفي زواياها بالشمع، فأقبل البصري وحده إلى منزل الحارث فأتى الباب وقال للحاجب: استأذن لي على نبي الله، قال: في هذه الساعة ما يؤذن عليه حتى تصبح! قال: أعلمه إنما رجعت شوقا إليه قبل أن أصل، قال: فدخل عليه فأعلمه كلامه ففتح الباب ثم صاح البصري أسرجوا فأسرجت الشموع حتى كان بيت المقدس كأنه نهار، ثم قال: كل من مرّ بكم فاضبطوه، قال: ودخل هو إلى الموضع الذي يعرفه فنظره فلم يجده فقال أصحابه: هيهات تريدون أن تقتلوا نبي الله وقد رفعه الله إلى السماء! قال: فطلبه في شقّ كان هيأه سربا فأدخل البصري يده في ذلك السرب فإذا بثوبه فاجتره فأخرجه إلى خارج ثم قال للفرغانيين: اربطوه فربطوه، فبينما هم كذلك يسيرون به على البريد إذ قال: أتقتلون رجلا أن يقول ربي الله؟
فقال أهل فرغانة أولئك العجم: هذا كراننا فهات كرانك أنت، فسار به حتى أتى عبد الملك، فلما سمع به أمر بخشبة فنصبت فصلبه وأمر بحربة وأمر رجلا فطعنه فأصاب ضلعا من أضلاعه فكاعت الحربة، فجعل الناس يصيحون: الأنبياء لا يجوز فيهم السلاح! فلما رأى ذلك رجل من المسلمين تناول الحربة ثم مشى بها إليه ثم أقبل يتجسس حتى وافى بين ضلعين فطعنه بها فأنفذها فقتله، فقال الوليد: ولقد بلغني أن خالد بن يزيد بن معاوية دخل على عبد الملك فقال: لو حضرتك ما أمرتك بقتله! قال: ولم؟ قال: إنما كان به المذهب فلو جوعته لذهب عنه ذلك، والمذهب الوسوسة، ومنه المذهب وهو وسوسة الوضوء ونحوه. قال القاضي عبد الصمد بن سعيد في تاريخ حمص: كان
العرباض بن سارية السّلمي يسكن حولة حمص.

فَشْلٌ Weak; (S, O, K;) or weak-hearted; (Msb;) cowardly; (S, Msb, K;) flagging, remiss, or languid; (K;) and accord. to the K, ↓ فَشِلٌ signifies the same, and one says, رَجُلٌ خَشْلٌ فَشْلٌ and ↓ خَشِلٌ فَشِلٌ; but [SM says that] this is a mistake, and [incorrectly] taken from a passage of the M, in which it is stated that one says رَجُلٌ خَشْلٌ فَشْلٌ and خَسْل فَسْلٌ; i. e., with ش in both and with س in both; not that it is with fet-h in both and like كَتِفٌ: (TA:) [I find, however, ↓ خَشِلٌ فَشِلٌ mentioned in art. خشل in the K, and also, as from Ibn-'Abbád, in the same art. in the O; and as ↓ فَشِلٌ is agreeable with a general rule as part. n. of فَشِلَ, I think it probably correct;] the pl. is أَفْشَالٌ, (S,) or فُشْلٌ, (K,) or both. (TA.) In the following verse, occurring in a trad. respecting the prayer for rain, (O, TA,) uttered to the Prophet by an Arab of the desert, (O,) وَلَا شَىْءَ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ عِنْدَنَا سِوَى الحَنْظَلِ العَامِىِّ وَالعِلْهِزِ الفَشْلِ by العِلْهِزِ الفَشْلِ is meant العِلْهِزِ الفَشْلِ آكِلُهُ وَمُدَّخِرُهُ, i. e. الضَّعِيفِ; (O, TA; *) the phrase being like الشَّجَرَةَ المَلْعُونَةَ in the Kur [xvii. 62], i. e., آكِلُوهَا: [so that the verse means, And there is nothing, of what men eat, in our possession, save the colocynth that is a year old, and therefore dry, or that has been laid up for the year of drought or barrenness, and the food made of blood and the fur of camels, the eater, and the storer, whereof is weak]: (O, TA:) but it is also related with س, [i. e. الفَسْلِ,] and thus does not need any paraphrastic interpretation. (TA.) A2: See also what next follows.

فِشْلٌ (O, K,) or ↓ فَشْلٌ, (S,) [but said to be] with kesr, (O, K,) A certain thing (S, K) of the apparatus of the [women's camel-vehicle called]

هَوْدَج, (S,) which the woman puts beneath her in the هودج: (K:) or the curtain (سِتْر) of the هودج; as also ↓ مِفْشَلٌ. (IAar, O, K.) [See a description thereof in the latter sentence of the first paragraph.]

فَشِلٌ: see فَشْلٌ, in four places.

فَيْشِلٌ: see the paragraph here following.

الفَيْشَلَةُ The حَشَفَة; (K;) [i. e.] the head [or glans] of the penis: (S, O:) and the head of any مُحَوَّق [or penis having a large glans]: (CK: in the text of the K as given in the TA, مُجَوَّف: [and thus in my MS. copy of the K; but it has been there altered, app. to agree with the TA, as have many other words in that copy; and the former reading is evidently, I think, the right:] some say that its ل is augmentative, like the ل in عَبْدَلٌ and in [the proper name] زَيْدَلٌ: but it may be from some other word than فَيْشَةٌ, though this has nearly the same meaning, [or, as is said in the TA in art. فيش, both have the same meaning,] and, if so, the ى may be augmentative, which is more agreeable with analogy: (TA:) the pl. is فَيَاشِلُ, (K,) and ↓ فَيْشَلٌ is another pl. [or rather a coll. gen. n.] thereof, used as such in a verse of Jereer. (TA.) b2: [The pl.] فَيَاشِلُ signifies also a name of Certain trees. (K.) b3: [Freytag adds as other meanings what belong to a description of the proper name of a certain water and of hills surrounding it, called الفَيَاشِلُ.]

تَفْشِيلٌ Milk remaining in the udder: (Fr, O, K:) and so تَمْشِيلٌ. (Fr, O.) مِفْشَلٌ: see فِشْلٌ.

A2: Also One who takes a wife from among persons not of his own kindred, lest the offspring should come forth spare in body, or weak. (IAar, O, K, TA.) مِفْشَلَةٌ The كيارجة [i. e. كَيَارِجَة], (ISh, TA,) which is an arabicized word from the Pers\. كراجه, in Turkish قورسق [also written قُورْصَق, i. e. the gizzard, or the crop, of a bird]. (TK voce مِشْفَلَةٌ [which is said in the K to signify thus, and also the stomach of a ruminant animal: one of the two words thus expl. may be a mistranscription for the other].)

عزب

1 عَزَبَ, aor. ـُ (S, O, Msb) and عَزِبَ, (S, O,) inf. n. عُزُوبٌ, (S, Msb,) He, (a man, S, O,) or it, (a thing, Msb,) was, or became, distant, or remote; (S, O, Msb;) and absent; عَنِّى from me: (S, O:) or ↓ اعزب has the former meaning: (K:) and عَزَبَ, aor. ـُ and عَزِبَ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. as above, (K,) signifies he, or it, was, or became, absent, (Msb, K,) and concealed: (Msb:) and went away, or departed. (K, TA.) You say, عَزَبَ بِهَا, referring to sheep or goats, He went to a distance, or far off, with them: so in a trad.: or, as some relate it, بها ↓ عزّب, meaning he went with them to a remote pasturage: and he pastured them (namely, camels,) at a distance from the place of abode of the tribe, not repairing, or returning, to them [in the evening]: and ↓ تعزّب, and thus the verb is written in copies of the K in a place where some copies have يَعْزُبُ, occurs in the phrase تعزّب عَنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ [He went away to a distance from his family and his cattle, or camels &c.]. (TA.) And عَزَبَتِ الإِبِلُ The camels went away to a distance in the pasturage, not returning in the evening: (S, O:) and in like manner one says of sheep or goats. (O.) And لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْ عِلْمِهِ شَىْءٌ Nothing is absent from his (God's) knowledge. (TA. [See Kur x.62 and xxxiv. 3.]) And عَزَبَ طُهْرُ المُرْأَةِ [The woman's state of pureness from the menstrual discharge was a remote thing] means (assumed tropical:) the woman's husband was absent from her: (K:) or [rather] is said of the woman when her husband is absent from her. (S, O.) And عَزَبَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ حِلْمُهُ [Such a one's forbearance quitted him]; (S, O;) as also ↓ اعزب. (O.) b2: Also, aor. ـُ (Msb, K,) inf. n. عُزْبَةٌ and عُزُوبَةٌ, (Msb, MF, TA,) or these are simple substs., (S, K,) (assumed tropical:) He was without a wife; or in a state of celibacy. (Msb, K.) [And app. عَزَبَتْ is said in like manner of a woman, meaning (assumed tropical:) She was without a husband. See also 5.]

b3: And عَزَبَتِ الأَرْضُ (assumed tropical:) The land, whether fruitful or unfruitful, was, or became, destitute of inhabitants; had in it no one. (S, O, K.) 2 عزّب بِهَا: see 1, second sentence. عُزِّبَ بِهِ عَنِ الدَّارِ is said of a herd of pasturing camels [meaning It was taken to pasture at a distance from the place of abode]. (S, O, K. *) b2: It is said in a trad. (S, O) of the Prophet, (O,) مَنْ قَرَأَ القُرْآنَ فِى أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فَقَدْ عَزَّبَ, meaning (tropical:) [He who reads, or recites, the Kur-án in forty nights] goes to a remote period of time from his commencement; (S, O, TA;) or makes the time of the commencement thereof to be remote; (A;) and is tardy in doing so. (TA.) A2: عزّب إِبِلَهُ: see 4. b2: لَيْسَ لِفُلَانٍ امْرَأَةٌ تُعَزِّبُهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) There is not for such a one a woman to put an end to his celibacy by marriage, is like the saying هِىَ تُمَرِّضُهُ

“ she takes care of him in his sickness. ” (O, TA.) b3: And one says, فُلَانٌ يُعَزِّبُ فُلَانًا وَيُرْبِضُهُ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one undertakes, or manages, the affairs of such a one, and his expenses]; i. e., acts for him like a treasurer. (TA, from the Nawádir el-Aaráb. [In art. ربض in the TA, عزّبه is said to signify, agreeably with the explanation above, قَامَ عَلَيْهِ.]) 4 اعزب He made to be distant, or remote; or to go far away. (K, * TA.) You say, اعزبهُ اللّٰهُ God made him, or may God make him, to go away, or far away. (S, TA.) b2: اعزب الإِبِلَ He drove the camels to a distance in the pasturage, not to return in the evening. (TA.) And اعزب إِبِلَهُ and ↓ عزّبها He made his camels to pass the night in the pasturage, not bringing them back in the evening. (TA.) And اعزب جَمَلَهُ is like أَضَلَّهُ [He made his camel to go astray]. (A.) b3: [Hence,] اعزب اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ حِلْمَهُ (assumed tropical:) God made his forbearance to become remote from him. (O.) b4: And أَعْزَبْنَا الكَلَأَ, (O,) or أَعْزَبْنَا alone, (S,) We lighted upon remote herbage. (S, O.) A2: As intrans.: see 1, first sentence: and the same in the latter half. b2: [Hence,] اعزب القَوْمُ The people's camels went away to a distance in the pasturage, not to return in the evening. (S, * O, * K, * TA.) 5 تعزّب: see 1, second sentence. b2: Also He passed the night with his camels in the pasturage, not returning in the evening. (TA.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) He abstained from marriage: (K, TA:) and in like manner تعزّبت is said of a woman. (TA.) One says, تعزّب زَمَانًا ثُمَّ تَأَهَّلَ (S, O) (assumed tropical:) He was without a wife [a long time, or he abstained from marriage a long time; then he took a wife]. (O.) [See also 1, near the end.]

عَزَبٌ [correctly thus, but in the sense here following written in the TA without any syll. signs, and in the O written عِزَّبٌ,] A man who goes away to a distance into the country, or in the land. (O, TA.) [And One who goes far away with his camels to pasture: pl. أَعْزَابٌ. (See also عَزِيبٌ and عَازِبٌ and مُعْزِبٌ and مِعْزَابَةٌ.)] هِرَاوَةُ الأَعْزَابِ means The staff of those who go far away with their camels to pasture; and a horse is likened thereto, (S, O, TA,) on account of its compactness and smoothness; so in a marginal note in the L: (TA:) [Sgh, however, says,] thus in some of the lexicons, but in my opinion, (O,) it was the name of a mare which was not to be outstripped, and which was thus called because her owner gave her gratuitously for the use of those of his people who had no wives, who made predatory attacks upon her, and when one of them acquired for himself property and a wife, he resigned her to another of his people: (O, K: *) whence the prov.

أَعَزُّ مِنْ هِرَاوَةِ الأَعْزَابِ [More highly esteemed than Hiráwet-el-Aazáb]. (O.) See an ex. in a verse cited voce عَدِيدٌ. b2: See also عَازِبٌ. b3: Also Whatever is alone, solitary, or apart from others. (TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) A man having no wife; (Ks, S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ عَازِبٌ, (Msb, * TA,) which is the original; (Msb;) and ↓ عَزِيبٌ, and ↓ مِعْزَابَةٌ [which see below]; (K;) but not ↓ أَعْزَابُ, (Mgh, O, Msb, K,) this being disallowed by AHát, (O, Msb,) and others; (TA;) or it is rare; (K;) but it occurs in a trad.; (Mgh, O;) and some allow it: (O, Msb:) the pl. of the first is أَعْزَابٌ, (O, K,) or عُزَّابٌ, (S, * Msb,) which is thus because the original form of the sing. is considered as being ↓ عَازِبٌ, this pl. being like كُفَّارٌ as pl. of كَافِرٌ, (Msb,) or عَزَبٌ has both of these pls., (O,) or عُزَّابٌ is pl. of ↓ عَازِبٌ, (TA,) and is applied to men and to (assumed tropical:) women as meaning having no spouses: (S, TA:) عَزَبَةٌ is applied to (assumed tropical:) a woman [as meaning having no husband], (Ks, S, O, Msb, K,) and (O, Msb, K) so عَزَبٌ; (Zj, Kz, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) and if أَعْزَبُ be applied to a man, ↓ عَزْبَآءُ, may by rule be applied to a woman; and the pl. of عَزَبَةٌ is عَزَبَاتٌ: (Msb:) or, accord. to Zj, عَزَبَةٌ is a mistake of Abu-l-'Abbás [i. e. Th], and عَزَبٌ is used as an epithet of a man and of a woman, like as is خَصْمٌ, and does not assume a dual form nor a pl. nor a fem. form, because it is originally an inf. n.; MF, however, denies that we have any authority for calling عَزَبٌ an inf. n.: he considers it to be a simple epithet, like حَسَنٌ &c.; and if used in the fem. sense without the termination ة otherwise than by poetic license, to be an anomalous epithet, like عَانِسٌ, which is applied alike to a man and to a woman: the phrase رَجُلَانِ عَزَبَانِ is also mentioned: and the saying إِنَّهُ لَعَزَبٌ لَزَبٌ [in which the latter epithet is merely an imitative sequent corrobative of the former], and إِنَّهَا لَعَزَبَةٌ لَزَبَةٌ: and عَزَبٌ is said to be [also] a quasi-pl. n. [of عَازِبٌ], like as خَدَمٌ is of خَادِمٌ. (TA.) عُزْبَةٌ and ↓ عُزُوبَةٌ The state of having no wife or husband; celibacy. (S, K. [Each said in the S and K to be a simple subst.: but see 1, near the end.]) عَزِيبٌ A man who has gone away to a distance (تَعَزَّبَ, as in some copies of the K), or who goes away to a distance (يَعْزُبُ, as in other copies of the K), from his family and his cattle, or camels &c. (K, TA.) b2: And Cattle, or camels &c., at a distance from the tribe: heard by Az in this sense from the Arabs: (TA:) or a herd of camels, and the like of sheep or goats, that go away to a distance from their owners in the pasturage: (K, TA:) and إِبِلٌ عَزِيبٌ camels that do not return in the evening to the tribe: عَزِيبٌ thus used is pl. (or a quasi-pl. n., TA) of ↓ عَازِبٌ, like as غَزِىٌّ is of غَازٍ. (S, K, TA.) b3: See also عَازِبٌ b4: And see عَزَبٌ, near the middle.

عَزُوبَةٌ A land in which one has to go far for pasturage; (O, K;) in which the pasturage is little: (TA:) the ة is to render the signification intensive. (O.) عُزُوبَةٌ: see عُزْبَةٌ.

عَازِبٌ Distant, or remote: (Msb, TA:) applied in this sense to herbage: (S, K:) or, applied to herbage, such as has not been depastured at all, nor trodden: and, accord. to the A, only such as is in a desert in which is no seed-produce: (TA:) and it is likewise applied to meadows (رَوْضٌ) [app. as meaning distant, or remote]; as also ↓ عَزِيبٌ. (A, TA.) In the following saying, وَصَدْرٍ أَرَاحَ اللَّيْلُ عَازِبَ هَمِّهِ تَضَاعَفَ فِيهِ الحُزْنُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبِ (tropical:) [In many a bosom whose remote (or long-past) anxiety night has brought back, grief has multiplied from every quarter], it is used metaphorically. (A.) And [in like manner,] in a trad. of 'Átikeh, قَهُنَّ هَوَآءٌ وَالحُلُومُ عَوَازِبُ means (assumed tropical:) And they are devoid of reason, the intel-lects [being] far away: عَوَازِبُ here being pl. of عَازِبٌ. (L, TA.) And [in a similar manner,] عَوَازِبُ الأَطْهَارِ [in which عَوَازِبُ is pl. of عَازِبَةٌ] is applied as an epithet to women whose husbands are absent: (S and O and TA, from a verse of En-Ná- bighah Edh-Dhubyánee: [for the lit. meaning, see 1, latter half:]) b2: [for] عَازِبٌ signifies also Absent; and concealed. (Msb.) b3: It is also applied to sheep or goats, (شَآءٌ, O, TA, and غَنَمٌ, O,) and to camels, (إِبِلٌ, O,) meaning Remote in the pasturage, (O, TA,) that do not return in the evening, (O,) or that do not repair to the place of alighting and abode [of their owners] in the night: (TA:) and [in like manner] ↓ عَزَبٌ is applied to cattle, or camels &c., (مَالٌ, A, O, TA,) meaning that go away to a distance from their owners. (O.) See also عَزِيبٌ [which, thus applied, is a quasi-pl. n. of عَازِبٌ]. And عَازِبَةٌ is likewise applied to camels (O, K) as meaning That go far away to pasture: (O, K: *) so in the prov. إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتُ الغَنَمَ حِذَارَ العَازِبَةِ [I only bought the sheep, or goats, in fear of loosing those that go far away to pasture]: said by a man who had camels, and sold them, and bought sheep, or goats, lest they [the camels] should go far away to pasture; and his sheep, or goats, did so: (O, K:) it is applied to the case of him who acts with gentleness [or precaution] in the easiest of affairs, and has unexpected difficulty, or trouble, inseparable from him. (O.) b4: See also عَزَبٌ, in three places. b5: And see مُعَزِّبَةٌ.

عَوْزَبٌ An old woman: (O, K:) so called because of the long period that has elapsed since her marriage. (TA.) أَعْزَبُ; and the fem. عَزْبَآءُ: see عَزَبٌ.

مُعْزِبٌ One who goes away from his family with his camels. (Az, TA.) [See also عَزَبٌ and عَزِيبٌ

&c.] b2: And Seeking distant herbage, such as is termed عَازِبٌ. (TA.) b3: And One whose camels go away to a distance in the pasturage, not to return in the evening. (S, TA.) مِعْزَبَةٌ A female slave: (O, K:) or, accord. to Th, applied only to a woman that has not a husband: (TA:) pl. مَعَازِبُ, for which مَعَازِيبُ occurs in a verse of Aboo-Khirásh El-Hudhalee. (O.) b2: See also مُعَزِّبَةٌ.

مُعَزَّبٌ A herd of pasturing camels taken to pasture at a distance (عُزِّبَ بِهِ) from the place of abode. (S, O, K. *) مُعَزِّبَةٌ (A, O, K) and ↓ مِعْزَبَةٌ and ↓ عَازِبَةٌ (K) (tropical:) A man's wife, (A, O, K,) to whom he resorts, and who undertakes the preparing of his food and the taking care of his implements, utensils, accoutrements, or furniture. (O.) مِعْزَابٌ: see what follows, in two places.

مِعْزَابَةٌ A man who goes away to a distance with his cattle, or camels &c., (S, A, O, K,) from others, in the pasturage; (S, O;) as also ↓ مِعْزَابٌ: (A, O, K:) accord. to Az, the former is the only epithet of the measure مِفْعَالَةٌ, except مِجْذَامَةٌ, which is sometimes used; [but in the TA, مِطْرَابَةٌ and مِطْوَاعَةٌ and مِقْدَامَةٌ also are mentioned;] the ة in معزابة, he says, is added to give intensiveness to the signification, and to imply praise; the meaning being, in his opinion, a man who frequently betakes himself, with his cattle, or camels &c., pasturing at a distance from others, to the places where rain has fallen, and to the uncropped herbage produced thereby; and he adds that the ة is affixed to a masc. epithet to imply praise or blame when intensiveness is meant. (TA.) The two epithets above are also expl. as applied to a man who pastures his camels at a distance from the abode of the tribe, not repairing to them to rest. (TA.) [See also عَزَبٌ &c.] b2: Also, (S, O, K, TA,) or ↓ مِعْزَابٌ, (A, TA,) (tropical:) A man who has been long without a wife, (S, A, O, K, TA,) so that he has no need of one. (TA.) b3: See also عَزَبٌ
