كفى: وفي فلاناً في مقابل ... فوّضه خسارة شيء، وهي كافأ لدى (هيلو) وعوّض (ساسي كرست 2، 135؛ ابن 85 طبعه شديوز).
كفى: كفى فلاناً مئونَته جعلها كافية له. أي قام بها دونه فأغناه عن القيام بها أو كفاه مؤونة الشيء أو الشخص أي أراحه وخلصه من شخص أزعجه أو حل محلّه في النهوض بعبء قضية كانت تقلقه. ففي كليلة ودمنة (4:45): سقط عنه النظر في أمور الأعداء بما قد كفاه ذلك بيدبا. وفي (حيان: بسام 4:3) أمن أهل البلد من مقته وكفاهم الله أمره. وفي البكري 119 أنا أكفيك خبره أي (أنا أستنفدك منه) (المارودي 144، 350، 7، بربرية، 1، 361 وفي المبني للمجهول ورد في الأغاني، 31 لو شئتَ كنتُ كُفيتُ بنفسك الطلبَ من غيرك وفي (المقري 1، 490، 15): حين ألحَّ الأمير هشام على زياد لكي يتولى منصب القضاء هرب زياد فصاح الأمير: ليت الناس كلهم كزياد حنى أُكْفيَ أهل الرغبة في الدنيا وفي رياض لبنفوس: احنجز أحد الحكام متاع أحد مسافرين فذهب هذا إلى أحد أهل الدين وطلب منه أن يدعو الله في رد متاعه فقال له، بعد أن استمع إلى شكواه، اذهب كفيت إن شاء الله تعالى أي اذهب فستنجو من همومك وقد حدث أن أعيدت إليه أمتعته وفي رواية أخرى قال رجل الدين انصرف لعل الله يكفيك أمره. وجاء في (معجم بوشر) كفاه شر الشيء؛ اكفينا شرك؛ كفاه شرّه: احترم، وفرّ، اقتصد، لم يؤذ، لم يفسد، لم يلتف.
كفى: حافظ على، وقى، تعهد، رعى، غذّى، أطعم، دام بحالة سليمة (بوشر).
كفى: جهّز (هلو).
كافأه: عن هديته (حيان 71).

تكافأ: (بدلاً من كفأ) عند الحديث عن شخصين يعملان الشيء نفسه (ألف ليلة 40:1).
إن عدِت عدنا وإن وافيتِ وافينا ... وإن هجرتِ فإنّ قد تكافينا
كوفئ: أثيب وجُزي.
انكفأ: تصحيف كفأ (ميهرن بلاغة 33).
اكتفى: أشبع، شفى غليله (فريتاج كرست 49، 7).
اكتفىب: ارتضى (بوشر).
اكتفى عن ما عادت بي حاجة إلى ... (كاترمير 1847 ص479 الذي لاحظ وجوب أن نقرأ الكلمة على هذا النحو عند كارتاس): 3، 801.
اكتفينا مئونته: وفّر علينا العناء (بوشر).
اكتفى: صدّق على، أمر (هلو). استكفاه الأمر: طلب منه لن يخلصه من أمر أقلقه (رياض النفوس: وأخذ يستعيذ بالله تعالى ويستكفيه شرّه وضرَّه وفيها وشكر الله على ما كفاه منه.
استكفاه الأمر: تخلّص منه (فريتاج 6:62) وأطلق الأسرى من الداوية الذين كانوا بحلب استكفاءً لشرهم. إن تعبير استكفاه الأمر يعني أيضاً: ألقى إليه مقاليد، فوّض أمره إلى، فوّض إليه مراقبة أو الترتيب أو تنظيم، أو تدبير أمرٍ ما (ففي أخبار مجموعة من كتب مجهولة ص2:124: وكان له قاضٍ قد استكافه أمور رعيته لفضله وزهده وورعه).
وفي مقدورنا ذكر استكفاه وحدها (عباد 1:51): إلى أن أوكل أمره إلى أحد اليهود واستكفاه. وهناك أيضاً تعبير استكفى به الأمر (ويجرز 12:30، البربرية 1، 375) وهنا أيضاً نستطيع الحذف والإيجاز ونقول استكفى به (دي ساسي كرست 13:11) ويبدو أن (فريتاج) كان له رأيه في العبارة الأخيرة حين أضاف إليها حرف الباء ب " Summum fiduciam posuit in aliquo c. p''.
عدم كفاة: نقص، تقصير (بوشر).
كفاية، أجرى له كفايته: خصص له مبلغاً كافياً من المال ينفق منه (ابن بطوطة 3، 47. معجم التنبيه).
كفاية: يسر، رخاء، العيش في بحبوحة (مقديسي 33، 1، ياقوت 3، 881) وربما قد وردت بهذا المعنى في (2، 256، 20 عند Goeje) .
فرض على الكفاية: فرض ديني ملزم لمتناولي القربان كافة (انظر لين في مادة فرض) (وانظر معجم التنبيه، والبيضاوي 1، 18، 2). قتل الفعلة بالكفاية: (قتل العمال جملةً، بكاملهم جمعهم) (معجم البلاذري 292، 2) إن تعبير بالكفاية يعني أيضاً: حساباً كاملا (أي بلا كسر) أو المجموع العام (ياقوت 3 1: 838: والخراج ثلاثة وثلاثون ألف ألف درهم بالكفاية (988:4:3) ( de Goege) .
كفاية: قدرة، ذكاء، مهارة، اختصاص، نبوغ (بوشر) ويكتبها فخري دائماً: (في الآداب السلطانية) كفاءة (ص179:10133، 2؛ 207، 2؛ 215، 7) وهي تعني: جدارة، مزية، قيمة (في معجم الطرائف ومعجم التنبيه وأخبار 119، 9 وحيان 18): وأرسل رأسه إلى ابن حفصون فأنفذه ابن حفصون إلى الأمير عبد الله بقرطبة مستحمداً إليه كفاية شأنه (أبار 142، 9 بسام 2، 12) في معرض حديثه عن شخص قد ولي منصب القضاء: فمهد لذلك جانباً من كفايته، واحتسب فيه جزءً من عمايته) (البيان 6:284:1 البربرية 1، 147، 3؛ 1: 361، 395؛ 2؛ 432؛ 8: 500 ابن الخطيب 64): فبعثه رسولاً ثقة بكايته (ألف ليلة برسل 353:12، 4؛ فالتون 33، 13 ويبدو أن هذه الكلمة تعني المعنى المتقدم نفسه على نحو عام دون أن تقتصر على الكفاية الإدارية التي هي مراد الناشر؛ هو كفاية كل شيء: قادر على كل شيء (بوشر).
كفاة: حماية:، حفظ. وهي مرادف وقاية (عباد 3، 109، 3) وأسَلُ الله أن يجعلك في حيّز الكفاية، وجانب الوقاية.
كفاية: سهر الإنسان على شرفه وعزة نفسه (معجم الطرائف).
يبدو أن تعبير: (أهل الكفاية) يدل على الناس الإمناء، الصادقين، والمستقيمين، أصحاب الشرف والنزاهة (حيان، 71): الوزراء حذّروا الأمير عبد الله، وصرفوه عن عزمه في ان يكون رأس الجيش الذي سيّره على ابن حفصون لاستغلاط شوكة الخبيث وكثرة أنصاره وللياذ من خبايا الحرب الغشوم لاسيما إن جرت من غير أهل الكفاية المغلقين لباب المعذرة.
كفاية: ذو الكفاتين يبدو إنها منصب مثل قولنا ذو الرئاستين دو الوزارتين (فاليتون 69 رقم 4).
كاف ل: كفء، جدير، خبير متخصص (بوشر، همبرت، معجم التنبيه) مَنْ نعهد إليه، كلياً، أمر التصرّف في شأنٍ ما، أو إدارة شؤون إقليم ما، أو الإدارة بصورة عامة، أو الوزارة .. الخ (بدرون ملاحظات 124، دي يونج، معجم الجغرافيا).
أكفى: أكثر قدرة، أكثر مهارة (رياض النفوس 14): ذكر لي أن أكفأ عبيدي وأقومهم بضيعتي توفي.
الأجير المكفَّى: (محيط المحيط).
قطع مكافئ: جسم مكافئ دوراني (من مصطلحات علم المساحة) (بوشر).
اكتفاء: اكتفى بالقليل، أو ربما تيسّر (بوشر).
اكتفاء: جزم، ترخيم (حذف الصوت الأخير أو المقطع الأخير من كلمة ... الخ) انظرها لمزيد ومحيط المحيط) وحين يعمد إليه الشاعر يقال: قال مكتفياً (المقري 1، 60).

س

أل1 سَأَلَهُ (S, M, K) with كَذَا following it, and سَأَلَهُ عَنْ كَذَا and بِكَذَا, (S, * K,) aor. ـْ (M,) inf. n. سُؤَالٌ and مَسْأَلَةٌ, (S, M, K,) which latter is also pronounced مَسَلَةٌ, without the hemzeh, (TA,) and تَسْآلٌ and سَآلَةٌ, (M, K,) and سَأَلَةٌ or سَأْلَةٌ, (accord. to different copies of the K, the former of these two accord. to the TA, [and it appears from a statement that will be found below, voce سُؤْلٌ, that one of these is correct, but in an excel-lent copy of the M, in the place thereof, I find, and ↓ سَآءَلَهُ, as a verb, doubly trans., first thus by itself, and secondly by means of عَنْ, as shown by an ex. in a verse cited below, (see 3,) and this also is correct,]) all [sometimes] signify the same, (S, * K,) i. e. He asked him such a thing; or asked him, interrogated him, questioned him, or inquired of him, respecting such a thing: but عن كذا is more common than بكذا: when سَأَلَ means the asking, or demanding, of property, it is trans. [only] by itself or by means of مِنْ [so that you say سَأَلَهُ كَذَا and سَأَلَ مِنْهُ كَذَا meaning he asked, or demanded, of him such a thing]: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and one says also سَالَ, aor. ـَ (Akh, S, M, Msb, K,) like خَافَ, aor. ـَ (Msb, K;) which is of the dial. of Hudheyl; the medial letter of this being originally و, as is shown by the phrase, mentioned by Az, هُمَا يَتَسَاوَلَانِ: (TA:) [respecting this dial. var., see what follows:] the imperative (S, Msb, K, TA;) of سَأَلَ (S, Msb, TA) is اِسْأَلْ; (S, M, Msb, K, TA;) and (S, K, &c.) that of سَالَ, (S, Msb, TA,) سَلْ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) dual. سَلَا, and pl. سَلُوا, [these two being] irregular; (Msb;) and AAF mentions that Aboo-'Othmán heard one say اِسَلْ, [a form omitted in some copies of the K, but mentioned in the CK,] meaning اِسْأَلْ, suppressing the ء, and transferring its vowel to the preceding letter, like as some of the Arabs said لَحْمَرُ for الأَحْمَرُ [as many do in the present day]: (M:) accord. to ISd, (TA,) the Arabs universally suppress the ء in the imperative except when they prefix to it فَ or وَ; (M, TA;) saying فَاسْأَلْ and وَاسْأَلْ: (TA:) or when وَ [or فَ] is prefixed, it is allowable to pronounce the ء and also to suppress it, as in saying وَاسْأَلُوا and وَسَلُوا: (Msb:) and for the pass. سُئِلَ, one may say سِيلَ, and سُيِلَ, in this instance making the kesreh to partake of the sound of dammeh, and سُولَ; and also سُيِلَ, in which the middle letter is pronounced with a sound between that of ء and that of ى, or resembling that of و. (IJ, TA.) As Er-Rághib says, سُؤَالٌ signifies The asking, or demanding, knowledge, or information, or what leads thereto: and the asking, or demanding, property, or what leads thereto. (TA.) سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ means I asked of him information respecting the thing: (IB, TA: [and the like is said in the Msb:]) and سَأَلْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ [is sometimes used in the same sense, as has been shown above, but generally] means I asked him to give me the thing: (IB, TA:) you say, سَأَلَهُ مَالًا He asked, demanded, or begged, of him property, and in like manner, سَأَلَ مِنْهُ and سَأَلَ إِلَيْهِ [followed by مَالًا]: (MA:) and سَأَلْتُ اللّٰهَ العَافِيَةَ, inf. n. سُؤَالٌ and مَسْأَلَةٌ, I begged, or sought, of God health, or freedom from disease, &c. (Msb.) The saying in the Kur [lxx. 1], سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ means عَنْ عَذَابٍ [i. e. An asker asked respecting a falling punishment]: (S:) [for] one says, خَرَجْنَا نَسْأَلُ عَنْ فُلَانٍ and بِفُلَانٍ [meaning We went forth asking respecting such a one]: (Akh, S:) or the phrase in the Kur means a caller called [for a falling punishment]: (TA:) and some read سَالَ سَائِلٌ بعذاب واقع, (Bd, TA,) [likewise] from السُّؤَالُ: (Bd:) or this means سَالَ وَادٍ بعذاب واقع [i. e. a valley flowed with a falling punishment]; (Bd, TA;) so some say; (TA;) from السَّيَلَانُ. (Bd.) The saying, in a trad., نَهَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ السَّؤَالِ [He (Mohammad) forbade much questioning or inquiring] is said to relate to subtile questions or inquiries, that are needless; like another trad., mentioned below, voce, مَسْأَلَةٌ: or to the begging, of men, their property needlessly. (TA.) 3 سَآءَلَهُ, (M, TA,) inf. n. مُسَآءَلَةٌ: (TA:) see 1, first sentence. Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, أَسَآءَلْتَ رَسْمَ الدَّارِ أَمْ لَمْ تُسَائِلِ عَنِ السَّكْنِ أَمْ عَنْ عَهْدِهِ بِالأَوَائِلِ [Didst thou ask the remains of the dwelling, or didst thou not ask, respecting the inhabitants, or respecting their knowledge of the former occupants?]. (M, TA.) b2: In the saying of Bilál Ibn-Jereer, وَجَدْتَ بِهِمْ عِلَّةً حَاضِرَهْ إِذَا ضِفْتَهُمْ أَوْ سَآيَلْتَهُمْ [When thou becomest their guest, or askest of them, thou findest with them a ready excuse], سَآيَلْتَهُمْ is a combination of two dial. vars.; the ء being in the original phrase سَآءَلْتُ زَيْدًا, and the ى being a substitute in the phrase سَايَلْتُ زَيْدًا; the measure of سَآيَلْتَهُمْ being فَعَايَلْتَهُمْ: (M, K: *) so said Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà, [i. e. Th,] who had at first ignored the expression: (M:) and it is an instance of which we know not a parallel in the language. (M, K. *) b3: [Accord. to analogy, سَآءَلَهَ also signifies He asked him, &c., being asked by him, &c. b4: And Freytag states that Reiske has explained سَآءَلَ as meaning He always demanded that another should express wishes for his health: but I know not any instance of its being used in this sense.]4 أَسْاَ^َ ↓ أَسْأَلَهُ سُؤْلَهُ, (K,) or ↓ سُؤْلَتَهُ, (S,) and ↓ مَسْأَلَتَهُ, (S, K,) He accomplished for him his want. (S, K.) 5 تسأّل, in the modern language, signifies He begged, or asked alms; as also تَسَوَّلَ: both probably post-classical.]6 تَسَآءَلُوا They asked, or begged, one another. (S, Msb, K.) You say, هُمَا يَتَسَآءَلَانِ, (M,) and also يَتَسَاوَلَانِ, (M, Msb, K,) and يَتَسَايَلَانِ. (TA.) In the Kur [iv. 1], some read وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِى تَسَّآءَلُونَ بِهِ; and others, تَسَآءَلُونَ بِهِ: in each case, originally تَتَسَآءَلُونَ: the meaning is, [and fear ye God,] by Whom ye demand [one of another] your rights, or dues: (M:) or by Whom ye ask, or demand, one of another; (Bd, Jel;) saying, I ask thee, or beg thee, by God; and I beseech thee, or adjure thee, by God. (Jel.) b2: One says also تَسَآءَلُوا القَوْمَ, meaning They [together] asked, or begged, the people. (Mgh in art. نقض.) سُؤْلٌ, (S, M, K;) also pronounced سُولٌ, without ء, (S, K,) [A petition; or a request; meaning] a thing that people ask or beg; (S;) or a thing that one has asked or begged; (M, K;) as also ↓ سُؤْلَةٌ, (IJ, M, K,) which is likewise pronounced سُولَةٌ, without ء; (K;) and ↓ سُؤُولٌ; (Har p. 422; [or this is app. pl. of سُؤْلٌ, like as بُرُوجٌ is of بُرْجٌ, and بُرُودٌ of بُرْدٌ, &c.;]) [and ↓ سَأْلَةٌ or سَأَلَةٌ, as will be shown by what follows;] and ↓ مَسْؤُولٌ; (Msb;) [and ↓ مَسْأَلَةٌ:] see 4: the first of these said by Z to be of the measure فُعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; like عُرْفٌ and نُكْرٌ. (TA.) Thus in the Kur [xx. 36], قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَا مُوسَى

Thou hast been granted thy petition, or the thing that thou hast asked, O Moses. (S, M, TA.) In the saying ↓ اَللّٰهُمَّ أَعْطِنَا سَأَلَاتِنَا [O God, grant Thou us our petitions], mentioned by Aboo-'Alee on the authority of Az, the inf. n. is used as a subst., properly so termed, and is therefore pluralized. (M.) سَأْلَةٌ or سَأَلَةٌ; pl. سَأَلَاتٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

سُؤْلَةٌ: see 4: and see also سْؤْلٌ.

سُؤَلَةٌ, (S, K,) also pronounced سُوَلَةٌ, (TA,) A man (S) who asks, or begs, much; (S, K;) as also ↓ سَأّلٌ, and ↓ سَؤُولٌ: (TA:) such is improperly termed ↓ سَائِلٌ. (Durrat el-Ghowwás, in De Sacy's Anthol. Gramm. Ar., p. 47 of the Ar. text.) سُؤَالٌ an inf. n. of 1. (S, M, K, &c.) b2: [It is often used as a subst. properly so called; like مَسْأَلَةٌ; meaning A question; an interrogation; correlative of جَوَابٌ: and a demand, or petition: and as such has a pl., سُؤَالَاتٌ; perhaps postclassical.]

سَؤُولٌ: see سُؤَلَةٌ.

سُؤُولٌ: see سُؤْلٌ [of which it is app. pl.].

سَأّلٌ: see سُؤَلَةٌ.

سَائِلٌ [i. e. Asking; meaning interrogating, questioning, or inquiring; and demanding, or begging;] has for its pl. سَأَلَةٌ and سُؤَّالٌ. (TA.) See سُؤَلَةٌ. b2: It also means [A beggar; i. e.] a poor man asking, or begging, a thing. (Er-Rághib, TA.) So it has been expl. as used in the Kur [xciii. 10], where it is said, وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ [And as for the beggar, thou shalt not chide him, or address him with rough speech]: or, accord. to El-Hasan, it here means the seeker of knowledge. (TA.) مَسْأَلَةٌ, an inf. n. of 1, is tropically used in the sense of a pass. part. n. [with the noun qualified by it understood; meaning (tropical:) A thing asked; i. e. a question; a problem, or proposition; a matter, or an affair, proposed for decision or determination]: (TA:) and the pl. is مَسَائِلُ. (Msb, TA.) So in the saying, تَعَلَّمْتُ مَسْأَلَةً (tropical:) [I learned a question, or problem, &c.]. (TA.) The saying, in a trad., كَرِهَ المَسَائِلَ وَعَابَهَا means (assumed tropical:) [He (Mohammad) disliked and discommended] subtile questions, such as are needless. (TA.) b2: See also سُؤْلٌ: b3: and see 4.

مَسْؤُولٌ [pass. part. n. of 1: and used as a subst.]: see سُؤْلٌ.

زر

ى1 زَرَى عَلَيْهِ, (S, Msb, K,) or زَرَى عَلَيْهِ فِعْلَهُ, (Mgh, TA,) aor. ـْ (Msb, TA,) inf. n. زِرَايَةٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA,) with kesr, (Msb, TA,) but by some written with fet-h, (TA, [زَرايَة, thus in the CK and in one of my copies of the S and in my MS. copy of the K,]) and زَرْىٌ (Msb, K) and زَرْيَةٌ (Msb [perhaps a mistranscription for what next follows]) and مَزْرِيَةٌ and مَزْرَاةٌ and زُرْيَانٌ, with damm, (K,) but accord. to the copies of the T and M زَرَيَانٌ; (TA;) and عليه ↓ تزرّى, (S, Msb, K,) and عليه ↓ ازرى, but this is of rare occurrence, (K,) and ↓ اِزْدَرَاهُ; (Msb;) He blamed, found fault with, or reproved, (Lth, Az, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) him, (S, Msb, K,) or his deed; (Mgh, TA;) or was angry with him, with the anger that proceeds from a friend: (S, TA:) and reproached him, upbraided him, or blamed him angrily or severely: (Lth, TA:) and he mocked, scoffed, or laughed, at him; derided him; or ridiculed him. (Msb.) b2: See also 4, last sentence but one.4 ازرى بِهِ, inf. n. إِزْرَآءٌ, He held it (i. e. a thing, S, Msb, or a case, or an affair, K) in little, or light, or mean, estimation, or in contempt; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اِزْدَرَاهُ. (Mgh.) and i. q. قَصَّرَ بِهِ [app. here meaning (in like manner as it is rendered below in this paragraph) He fell short of that estimation which was required by him, or due to him]; and ↓ اِزْدَرَاهُ, i. e. he contemned, or despised, him; [and so, app., ↓ استزراهُ; (see مُزْدَرٍ;)] or made him to be contemned or despised; syn. حَقَرَهُ or حَقَّرَهُ. (S, accord. to different copies. [But whether this last explanation be here meant to relate to ازرى به and ازدراه or to the latter alone, is not clear.]) He lowered his condition, or estimation. (Ham p. 117.) He brought against him the imputation of a fault, or vice, or the like, ('Eyn, K, TA,) or a thing, or an affair, or an action, whereby he desired to involve him in confusion. (ISd, K, TA.) ازرى

بِعِلْمِهِ and بِهِ ↓ زَرَى, mentioned, but not explained, by Lh, are thought by ISd to signify قَصَّرَ بِهِ [app. meaning He fell short of that estimation which was required by, or due to, his knowledge]. (TA.) ازرى عَلَيْهِ: see 1.5 تَزَرَّىَ see 1.8 اِزْدَرَاهُ: see 1: and see also 4, in two places.10 إِسْتَزْرَىَ see 4.

زَرِىٌّ, applied to a skin for water or milk (سِقَآءٌ) [Of middling size;] between small and large. (ISd, K.) زَارٍ عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ Blaming, finding fault with, or reproving, a man; or being angry with him, with the anger that proceeds from a friend; and being displeased with him: thus in a verse of Mejnoon cited voce اِسْتَدَامَ: (S, TA:) making no account of a man, and disapproving his conduct. (AA, Msb, TA.) مِزْرَآءٌ A man who blames, or finds fault with, people [app. much, or habitually]. (K,* TA.) مُزْدَرٍ Contemning, or despising; as also ↓ مُسْتَزْرٍ.

And حَكَيْتُ عَنْهُ الكَلَامَ, inf. n. as above; (S, K;) and حَكَوْتُهُ; (AO, S;) i. q. نَقَلْتُهُ [meaning I transmitted, quoted, or transcribed, from him, the speech, discourse, saying, sentence, or the like; reported, related, recited, rehearsed, narrated, told, or mentioned, the speech, &c., as from him]. (K.) b2: حَكَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, I did the like of the thing; as, for instance, another person's art: I imitated it; or emulated it: as also حَكَوْتُهُ, aor. ـُ (Msb.) One is related to have said, لَا أَحْكُو كَلَامَ رَبِّى, meaning I will not imitate, or emulate, the words of my Lord. (ISk, Msb.) And you say, حَكَيْتُ فُلَانًا; and ↓ حَاكَيْتُهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُحَاكَاةٌ; (TA;) [I imitated such a one;] I did the deed of such a one: (K:) or I said the like of the saying of such a one, exactly; (K, * TA;) not exceeding it: (TA:) and حَكَيْتُ فِعْلَهُ, and ↓ حَاكَيْتُهُ, I did the like of his deed: (S:) but in relation to what is had, foul, or unseemly, the latter verb is most used.

(TA.) b3: As a conventional term in grammar, [meaning Imitation, or conforming, in language,] it is of two kinds: حِكَايَةُ جُمْلَةٍ [The imitation of a proposition, or phrase], and حِكَايَةُ مُفْرَدٍ [The imitation of a single word]: the former is of two sorts; one of which is termed حِكَايَةُ مَلْفُوظٍ [The imitation of a thing uttered], whereof قَالُوا الحَمْدُ للّٰهِ [They said, “Praise be to God,” (Kur vii. 41,)] is an ex.; and the other, حِكَايَةُ مَكْتُوبٍ [The imitation of a thing written], whereof قَرَأْتُ عَلَى فَصِّهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ [I read upon his ring-stone, “Mohammad is the Apostle of God,”] is an ex.: and the latter kind, also, (that of a single word,) is of two sorts; one of which is with the interrogative أَىٌّ or مَنْ, as when, to one who says, رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا [pronounced رَجُلَا, I saw a man], you say, أَيَّا [What (man)?], or مَنَا [Whom?], and the like, which sort is agreeable with a common rule; the other sort being without an interrogative, as the saying of one of the Arabs, to one who said, هَاتَانِ تَمْرَتَانِ [These are two dates], دَعْنَا مِنْ تَمْرَتَانِ [Abstain thou from troubling us about two dates], which sort is anomalous. (El-Ashmoonee's Expos. of the Alfeeyeh of Ibn-Málik.) [حِكَايَةُ صَوْتٍ signifies A word imitative of a sound; an onomatopœia: see اِسْمُ صَوْتٍ

in art. سمو.]

بد

أ1 بَدَأَ بِهِ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـَ (Mgh, K,) inf. n. بَدْءٌ, (T, S, M, Msb,) i. q. به ↓ ابتدأ; (S, Msb, K;) [He began with it;] he made it to have precedence, or to be first; gave precedence to it; syn. قَدَّمَهُ: (Mgh, Msb:) in the dial. of the Ansár, بَدِئَ به is used in this sense of قدّمه; (M;) or بَدِىَ به [without ء]; (IKtt, TA; [see بَدةءٌ;]) [and بَدَى به; see art. بدى;] and به ↓ ابدأ signifies the same. (Msb.) [So in the Kur xii. 76, فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَآءِ أَخِيهِ And he began with their bags, before the bags of his brother. and بَدَأَهُ is sometimes used in the sense of بَدَأَ بِهِ; whence, in the Kur ix. 13, وَهُمْ بَدَؤُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ

And they, it was, began with you the first time; i. e., as Bd says, by acting with hostility, and fighting.] You say also, بَدَّا ثُمَّ عَادَ He began, or did a first time, or the first time: then repeated, or did a second time. (Az, TA in art. عود.) and بَدَأَ فِىِ الأَمْرِ [He began, or made a beginning, in the affair.] (M.) b2: بَدَأَ also signifies It (a thing) began; began to be; originated; or came into existence. (Msb.) [See also 5.]

A2: بَدَأَ الشَّيْءَ, (S, M, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (M,) [He began the thing; commenced it; set about it; as also ↓ ابتدأهُ: accord. to the Mgh, the latter has this meaning, or, agreeably with the authority of the M and K, the meaning which here next follows:] he did the thing first, for the first time, by way of beginning, or originally; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ ابدأهُ and ↓ ابتدأهُ; (M, K;) i. e., not after the example of anything preceding. (TA. [But this addition seems rather to belong to another explanation to be mentioned below.]) One does not say, زَيْدًا ↓ ابتدأ nor بَدَأَهُ, because these two verbs [signifying as last explained above] do not have for their objects corporeal things. (Mgh.) [El-Mutanakhkhil El-Hudhalee uses the phrase سَأَبْدُؤُهُمْ بِمَشْمَعِةٍ I will begin with them (meaning his guests) by sporting and jesting; like the phrase in the Kur ix. 13 cited above: but different from these is the saying in the Kur xxxii. 6, وَبَدَأَ خَلْقِ الْإِنْسَانِ مِنْ طِينٍ And He began the creation of man from clay.] The saying, ↓ فَإِنْ كَانَ السَّبُعُ ابْتَدَأَهُ means ابتدأ أَخْذَهُ

أَوْ عَضَّهُ [But if the beast, or bird, of prey has begun the seizing of him, or the biting of him]; the noun that is prefixed [to the pronoun] being suppressed. (Mgh.) You say also, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى

الأَمْرِ ↓ ابْتِدَآءِ That was in the beginning, or first, of the affair. (Msb.) [See also بَدْءٌ, below.] b2: He originated the thing; brought it into being or existence; made it, or produced it, for the first time, it not having been before; (Mgh;) [and] so ↓ ابدأهُ, said [of God, and] of a man, as the agent; (Msb;) and ↓ ابتدأهُ. (Mgh in art. بدع.) [Hence,] بَدَأَ اللّٰهُ الخَلْقَ, and ↓ أَبْدَأَهُمْ, God created, or brought into existence, mankind, or the created beings: (M, Msb, K:) both signify the same. (S.) البَاطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيدُ ↓ مَا يُبْدِئُ [in the Kur xxxiv. 48, means What doth that which is false, or the Devil, originate, or produce in the first instance? and what doth it, or he, reproduce after it hath perished?]: Zj says that مَا, here, is in the place of an accus., meaning in each Instance أَىَّ شَىْءٍ: or it may be a negative; and الباطل here is Iblees; i. e., Iblees createth not, nor raiseth to life after death. (M.) You say also, وَمَا يُعِيدُ ↓ مَا يُبْدِئُ, meaning وَلَا ↓ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ عَائِدَةٍ, (S, K,) i. e. He does not say anything for the first time, nor anything for the second time; or anything original, nor anything in the way of repetition; الكَلَامِ ↓ بَادِئَةُ signifying what is said for the first time; and عَائِدَةُ الكَلَامِ, what is said for the second time, afterwards: (TA:) or he says not anything: (A in art. عود:) and he has no art, artifice, or cunning. (IAar, TA in art. عود; and A in the present art.) b3: بَدَأَ البِئْرَ He dug the well [for the first time: see بَدِىْءٌ]. (Msb.) A3: بَدَأَ مِنْ أَرْضٍ إِلَى أَرْضٍ, (T,) or مِنْ أَرْضِهِ, (K,) He went forth from a land to a land, or from his land; as also ↓ ابدأ. (T, K.) A4: بُدِئَ, (inf. n. as above, S, M, K,) He (a man, S, M) had the small-pox: (Az, As, T, S, M, K:) or the حَصْبَة [i. e. measles, or spotted fever]: (S, M, K:) or, as Az says, and the حصبة: (T:) or, as Lh says, there came forth upon him pustules resembling the small-pox: but he adds, some say, the small-pox itself: (M:) the epithet applied to a person affected therewith is ↓ مَبْدُوْءٌ. (Az, As, Lh, T, S, M.) b2: Also He fell sick. (IAth, TA.) In a trad. of ' Áïsheh occur the words, فِى اليَوْمِ الَّذِى بُدِئَ فِيهِ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ [meaning In the day in which the Apostle of God fell sick]: and IAth says, مَتَى بُدِئَ فُلَانٌ meaning When did such a one fall sick? is a phrase used in inquiring respecting the living [who has been attacked by illness] and respecting the dead. (TA.) 4 ابدأ: see 1, in seven places. b2: Also He did a new thing; a thing unknown before; or a strange, or wonderful, thing. (S, * TA.) b3: and He voided excrement, or ordure; or broke wind; syn. نَجَا; [as also أَبْدَى;] said of a man. (M.) b4: And He put forth his second teeth; said of a child; (M;) and of a colt. (TA voce أَحْفَرَ, q. v.) 5 تبدّأ He, or it, began, or made a beginning. (KL.) [See also 1. Golius mentions, but without giving the authority, and without the vowel-signs, the saying, هَاتِ القِصَّةَ مِنْ ذِى تُبُدِّئَتْ; but writing the last word تبديت, stating only that it is in the passive form; as meaning Relate thou the story, or history, from the beginning.]8 إِبْتَدَاَ see 1, in seven places. b2: ابتدأهُ بِوَعْدٍ He made him a promise in anticipation; without his asking it of him. (M in art. انف.) بَدءٌ inf.n. of 1; (T, S, M, Msb;) [The act of beginning;] or the doing a thing first. (M.) Yousay, لَكَ البَدْءُ, (M, K,) and ↓ البُدْءُ, (As, TA,) and ↓ البَدْأَةُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) and ↓ البُدْأَةُ, (S, M, K,) and ↓ البِدْأَةُ, (L,) and ↓ البَدَآءَةُ, (M, K,) and ↓ البُدَآءَةُ, (S, M, K,) and البُدَاهَةُ, with ه substituted for ء, (M, Mtr,) and ↓ البِدَآءَةُ, (Mtr, TA,) and, accord. to IKtt, البِدَايَةُ, but see what follows, (TA,) and ↓ البَدِئَةُ, (M, K,) and ↓ البُدَّآءَةُ, (Az, TA,) It is for thee to begin, (S, M, Msb, K,) before any other, in shooting or casting, &c.: (S:) as to البِدَايَةُ, mentioned above, accord. to Mtr [and Fei], (TA,) it is a vulgar word, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) as IB and several others have stated, (Msb, TA, *) a corruption of ↓ البِدَآءَةُ, (Mgh, Msb,) signifying the first; as also ↓ البُدَآءَةُ; and ↓ البَدْأَةُ: (Msb:) but IKtt says that it is a word of the dial. of the Ansár; بَدَأْتُ بِالشَّىْءِ and بَدِيتُ بِهِ signifying قَدَّمْتُهُ: [see 1:] and he cites the following verse of Ibn-Rawáhah: وَلَوْ عَبَدْنَا غَيْرَهُ شَقِينَا بِاسْمِ الْإِلَاهِ وَ بِهِ بَدِينَا [In the name of God, and with it we begin; and if we worshipped any other than Him, we should be miserable]: see art. بدى. (TA. [This verse is also cited in the S in art. بدو, where, in one copy I find it as above; in another, with بَدَيْنَا instead of بَدِيْنَا.]) And you say, فَعَلَهُ عَوْذَا وَبَدْءًا, (T, S,) and عَوْدَهُ عَلَي بَدْئِهِ, (M,) and فِى عَوْدِهِ وَبَدْئِهِ, and ↓ فِى عَوْدَتِهِ وَبَدْأَتِهِ, (S, M,) [He did it returning and beginning again; or returning to his beginning; i. e. he did it again from the beginning; he recommenced it: or you say this] meaning like as is meant by the saying next following. (TA.) رَجَعَ عَوْدَهُ عَلَى بَدْئِهِ, (S, K,) and عَوْدًا عَلَى بَدْءٍ, in both of which [and in the last following] the verb may be trans., and the noun following therefore in the accus. case, (TA,) and فِى عَوْدِهِ وَبَدْئِهِ, and ↓ فِى عَوْدَتِهِ وَبَدْأَتِهِ, [in both of which, if correct, the verb must be intrans.,] and عَوْدًا وَبَدْءًا, [as though meaning عَائِدًا وَبَادِئًا, used as a phrase denotative of state,] (K,) [but in this last, and the two next preceding, accord. to the TA, the verb should be فَعَلَهُ, as in the next preceding sentence, instead of رَجَعَ, and this is confirmed by what is said in the K in art. عود,] He returned in the way whence he had come: (S, K:) [accord. to the TA, the literal meaning of the first and second may be he made his returning to revert to his beginning, and he made a returning to revert to a beginning:] or the meaning of the first, (Sb, TA in art. عود, and K in that art.,) and of the second, (K in that art.,) is, he returned without stopping after he had gone away: (Sb, K:) and sometimes it signifies the stopping in one's coming and then returning: (Sb:) [and it returned to its first state; it recommenced:] and you say, رَجَعْتُ عَوْدِى عَلَى

بَدْئِى, meaning I returned like as I had come. (Sb ubi suprà.) b2: Also First, or former; preceding all others, or preceding another; as also ↓ البَدْءُ بَدِىْءٌ; and البَدِىءُ being syn. with الأَوَّلُ. (S, K.) Hence the saying, اِفْعَلْهُ بَادِى بَدْءٍ, and ↓ بَادِى بَدِىْءٍ, meaning Do thou it the first thing, or the first of everything; [accord. to different copies of the S;] the ى in بادى being quiescent, in the place of the accus. case, accord. to usage; and sometimes they omit the [altogether], on account of frequent use [of the phrase], as will be stated in art. بدو, (S in the present art.,) saying بَادِى بَدٍ, and بَادِىبَدِى (S in art. بدو.) You say also, اِفْعَلْهُ بَدْءًا, and أَوَّلَ بَدْءٍ, (Th, M, K,) and بَدْءَ بَدْءٍ, (CK,) and بَدَا بَدْءٍ, (M, K,) and بَدْءٍ ↓ بَادِئَ, (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K,) and بَادِىَ بَدٍ, (K,) and بَادِىْ بَدًا, (M, K, [in the CK بَادِىْ بَدٍ,]) and بَادِىْ بَدًا, (M,) and بَدِىْءٍ ↓ بَادَئَ, (K,) and بَادِىْ بَدَا, (M, K,) and ↓ بَدِىْءٍ ↓ بَادِئَ, (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, CK,) and بَدِىٍّ ↓ بَادِئَ, which is anomalous, (M,) or بَادِىَ بَدِّىِ, (K,) and بَادِىْ بَدِيٍّ, (Fr, A'Obeyd, T, S, M,) and ↓ بَدِئٍ ↓ بَادِئَ, (S, CK,) or ↓ بَادِىَ بَدِئٍ, (K, TA,) and بَادِىْ

↓ بَدْأَةَ, (M, K, TA,) the former word being the act. part. n. of بَدِىَ, which is of the dial. of the Ansár, as mentioned above, and the latter being indecl., with fet-h for its termination, (TA, [in the CK the latter word is written بَدْءَة,]) and بَدْءٍ ↓ بَدْأَةَ, (CK,) and ↓ بَدْأَةَ بَدْأَةَ, (M, K,) and ↓ بَدِىْءٍ ↓ بَدْأَةَ, (S,) and بَدْءٍ ↓ بَدِىْءَ, (S, CK,) and بَدْءَ ذِى بَدْءٍ, (Fr, T,) and ذِى بَدْءٍ ↓ بَدْأَةَ, (Fr, T, S, K,) and ↓ بَدْأَةَ ذِى بَدْأَةٍ, and ↓ ذِى بَدِىْءٍ ↓ بَدْأَةَ, (S, K,) and ↓ ذِي بَدَآءَةَ ↓ بَدَأَةَ, (K, TA,) not بداءة [as in the CK], (TA,) and ↓ بَدِىْءَ ذِى بَدِىْءٍ, (S, K, TA, [in the CK the last word is written بَدْءٍ,]) and ↓ ذِى بَدِىْءٍ ↓ بَدَآءَةِ, (K,) meaning Do thou it the first thing; (Fr, T, K;) so in a correct copy [of the K, and so I find in a MS. copy of the K and in the CK]: accord. to another copy, the first of everything: (TA:) or the first of first; (S;) thus in the L: (TA:) the words here put in the accus. case [literally or virtually] are so put [in some instances] as adverbial nouns; or, accord. to MF, they may be [in some instances] denotatives of state, with respect to the agent; the meaning being اِفْعَلْهُ حَالَةَ كَوْنِكَ بَادِئًا, i. e. مُبْتَدِئَا بِهِ [lit. do thou it in the state of thy being beginning it]. (TA.) [In like manner,] you also say, بَدْءَ الرَّأْىِ, and [more commonly] الرَّأْىِ ↓ بَادِئَ, At first thought; or on the first opinion: (Lh, M:) [بَدْءُ الرَّأْىِ and] الرَّأْىِ ↓ بَادِئُ signifying the first, and beginning, of the idea, thought, opinion, or judgment; or what is perceived before considering well or thoroughly: (M:) [and بَدْءٌ alone signifying a first idea, thought, opinion, or judgment; as is implied in the A, voce صَيُّورٌ, q. v.:] hence, الرَّأْيِ ↓ فَعَلَهُ فِى بَادِئِ [He did it at first thought, &c.]: (M:) and الرَّأْىِ تُرِيدُ ↓ أَنْتَ بَادِئَ ظُلْمَنَا, and الرأى ↓ مُبْتَدَأَ, i.e. Thou at first thought, &c., desirest to wrong us: and one says also, بَادِىَ الرأى, without; meaning on the occasion of what appeared of opinion; i. e. at the first of what appeared thereof; [or at the first opinion's presenting itself;;] in which case, the phrase does not belong to this art. [but to art. بدو]: it occurs in the Kur xi. 29: (M:) AA alone there read بَادِئَ, with; all the other readers pronounced it without ء (TA.) b3: Also A chief, or lord, (S, M, Msb, K,) who occupies the first place in chieftainship or lordship: (S:) or, as some say, a youth, or young man, whose judgment, or opinion, is deemed good, and who is consulted: (M:) or it signifies also an intelligent youth or young man: (K:) pl. بُدُوْءٌ. (M.) A poet (namely, Ows Ibn-Maghrà Es-Saadee, TA) says, ثُنْيَانُنَا إِنْ أَتَاهُمْ كَانَ بَدْأَهُمُ وَبَدْؤُهُمْ إِنْ أَتَانَا كِانَ ثُنْيَانَا [Our second chief, if he came to them, would be their first chief; and their first chief, if he came to us, would be a second chief]. (S.) b4: Also, and ↓ بَدْأَةٌ, A share, or portion, of a slaughtered camel: (S, K:) or the best share or portion thereof: (T:) or the former word has the latter signification; and the latter word, the former signification: and the former signifies also a bone with the meat, or flesh, that is on it: (M:) and a joint; syn. مَفْصِلٌ; (AA, T, M;) and so بَدًا q.v.: (AA, T:) the pl. [of pauc.] of بَدْءٌ is أَبْدَآءٌ (S, M, K) and [of mult.] بُدُوْءٌ; (S, K;) the former of which is the more common: (TA:) or this is pl. of بَدًا. (AA, T.) The shares abovementioned [as commonly divided for the game called المَيْسِر q. v.] are ten; namely, the two haunches, the two thighs properly so called, the two thighs commonly so called (i. e. the tibiæ), the two shoulders, and the two arms; which last are the worst, because of the many veins [therein]. (TA.) b5: See also بَدِىْءٌ.

(T, Mgh.) b3: كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى بَدْأَتِنَا, and ↓ بُدْأَتِنَا, and ↓ بِدْأَتِنَا, (K,) and ↓ بَدَآءَتِنَا, (Lh, M, TA,) and ↓ بُدَآءَتِنَا, and ↓ بِدَآءَتِنَا, (TA,) and ↓ بَدَأَتِنَا, (Lh, M, K,) but [ISd says,] I know not how that is, (M,) and ↓ مُبْدَئِنَا, and ↓ مُبْدَئِنَا, (K,) and ↓ مَبْدَأَتِنَا, (Lh, M, and so in some copies of the K,) or مَبْدَاتِنَا, (so in other copies of the K,) thus in the بَاهِر of Ibn-'Odeys [in the CK Ibn-'Adebbes], (K,) which is said to indicate that we should hesitate respecting them [before admitting them to be of classical authority], are phrases meaning That was in the first of our state, and in our adolescence.

(ISk, S in the present art.) ذُمَّ, also, signifies He was satirized, particularly in verse. (IAar, T.) And He was made to suffer loss or diminution [app. in respect of his reputation]. (IAar, T.) b2: ذَمَّ المَكَانُ (tropical:) The place was, or became, affected with drought, or barrenness, and its good things [or produce] became scanty. (TA.) [But perhaps ذَمَّ is here a mistranscription for ذُمَّ; for] you say of a land, ذَمَّ مَرْعَاهَا [He dispraised, or discommended, its pasture, when its pasture is scanty]. (S and M and K in art. بذأ.) A2: ذَمَّ, [aor. ـِ said of the nose, (S, K,) It flowed [with ذَمِيم, i. e. mucus]; (K;) like ذَنَّ. (S, K.)

And أَذَمَّتْ رِكَابُهُمْ (tropical:) Their camels upon which they were riding became jaded, and lagged behind, (S, M, K, TA,) not keeping up with the main body of camels; (S, TA;) [as though they made their riders to blame them; or] as though [the idea of] their strength in journeying were derived from ذَمَّةٌ meaning “ a well having little water. ” (TA.) And اذمّ بِهَ بَعِيرُهُ (tropical:) [His camel became jaded, and lagged behind with him]. (S, TA.)

A2: اذمّهُ He found him, or it, to be such as is blamed, dispraised, &c.; (S, M, K, TA;) contr. of أَحْمَدَهُ. (TA.) One says, أَتَيْتُ مَوْضِعَ كَذَا فَأَذْمَمْتُهُ, i. e.

A4: See also the next paragraph.5 تذمّم He shunned, or avoided, (T, * Mgh,) or he preserved, or guarded, himself from, (MA,) blame, dispraise, &c.: (T, * MA, Mgh:) this is the proper meaning; and hence, (Mgh,) he felt disdain, or scorn, and shame. (S, MA, Mgh, K, KL.) One says, لَوْ لَمْ أَتْرُكِ الكَذِبَ تَأَثُّمًا لَتَرَكْتُهُ تَذَمُّمَا [If I did not refrain from lying for the purpose of abstaining from sin, I would refrain from it from a feeling of disdain, or scorn, or shame].

(T, S.) ذِمَّةٌ A compact, a covenant, a contract, a league, a treaty, an engagement, a bond, or an obligation; (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K;) because the breaking thereof necessitates blame: (Mgh:) and a right, or due, (حَقٌّ,) for the neglect of which one is to be blamed: (Bd in ix. 8:) [an inviolable right or due:] and ↓ ذِمَامٌ and ↓ مَذِمَّةٌ and ↓ مَذَمَّةٌ signify in like manner a compact, a covenant, &c. as above, for the neglect, or nonobservance, of which a man is to be blamed: (Msb:) or these three words [in the CK the first and last only] signify a right, or due; syn. حَقٌّ: (M, K:) or so the first of them: (T, * S:) and each of them, (M, K,) or the first of them, i. e. ذِمَامٌ, (T, S, Mgh,) i. q. حُرْمَةٌ [which includes all the significations of ذِمَّةٌ likewise, those above and those which follow, but appears here to be used as meaning especially a thing that should be sacred, or inviolable; or which one is under an obligation to reverence, respect, or honour, and defend; everything that is entitled to reverence, respect, honour, or defence. in the character and appertenances of a person]; (S, M, Mgh, K;) every حُرْمَة for the neglect, or non-observance, of which one is to be blamed: (T:) ↓ ذَمَامَةٌ, also, and ↓ ذِمَامَةٌ, are syn. with حَقٌّ and حُرْمَةٌ: (TA:) and ذِمَّةٌ signifies also i. q. أَمَانٌ [as meaning security, or safety; security of life and property; protection, or safeguard; a promise, or an assurance, of security, safety, protection, or safeguard; indemnity; or quarter]; (S, Mgh, Msb, KL, TA;) and so ↓ ذِمَامٌ: (MA, KL: [explained in both by the Pers\. زِنْهَارْ; and in the latter by حُرْمَةٌ and حَقٌّ also:]) and responsibility [for the fulfilment of an obligation, for the payment of a sum of money, for the restitution of a thing, or for the safety, or safe-keeping, of a thing or person]; suretiship; (M, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ ذَمَامَةٌ and ↓ ذِمَامَةٌ; (M, K; [in the former of which, these two words are said to be syn. with ذِمَّةٌ, app. meaning, in all the senses mentioned above;]) and ↓ ذِمٌّ: (M, K: [said in the M to be syn. with ذِمَّةٌ in the first only of the senses mentioned above in this paragraph: in the CK, والذِّمُّ is erroneously put for وَ الذِّمِّ:]) the pl. of ذِمَّةٌ is ذِمَمٌ (T, Msb) and ذِمَامٌ: (T:) and the pl. of ↓ ذِمَامٌ as [a sing.] syn. with [ذِمَّةٌ and] مَذَمَّةٌ and مَذِمَّةٌ is أَذِمَّةٌ. (M, K.) Hence, i. e. from ذِمَّةٌ in the first of the senses explained above, أَهلُ الذِّمَّةِ, (S, Mgh, TA.) and الذِّمِّةُ, (T, M, * Mgh, K, TA,) with the prefixed noun اهل suppressed, (TA,) The people with whom a compact, or covenant, &c., has been made; (T, S, M, K, TA;) [and particularly] those, of the believers in a plurality of Gods, [by which are here meant the Christians, Jews, and Sabians, but no others,] who pay the [tax called] جِزْيَة; (T, TA;) [i. e. the free non-Muslim subjects of a Muslim government, who pay a poll-tax for which the Muslims are responsible for their security and freedom and toleration: see أَهْلٌ:] the appellation ↓ ذِمِّىٌّ, (Mgh, Msb,) a rel. n. from الذِّمَّةُ, (Msb;) is applied to a person of this class; (Mgh, Msb;) because he is rendered secure, or free from fear, for his property and his blood, by means of the جِزْيَة.

(Mgh.) And it is said in another trad., فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّة [Then the responsibility of God is clear, or quit, of him]; i. e. there is given to every one, by God, a covenant whereby He binds Himself to preserve and protect him; and when he throws himself into destruction, or does that which is unlawful for him to do, or acts at variance with that which he is commanded to do, the covenant of God fails to aid him. (TA.) فِى ذِمَّتِى كَذَا means فى ضَمَانِى [virtually I am responsible for such a thing; i. e. for paying it, or restoring it, &c.; but lit. in my responsibility is such a thing; or on my responsibility rests, or lies, or be, such a thing; for فى may be here used, as it is in many other instances, in the sense of عَلَى]: (Msb:) [or,] in the saying ثَبَتَ فِى ذِمَّتِى كَذَا, [which means Such a thing became, or has become, binding, obligatory, or incumbent, on me,] the term ذِمَّة is applied to designate [the moral sense considered as] the seat [of the sense] of obligation to fulfil what is [properly] termed ذِمَّة [i. e. a compact, or covenant, or the like].

Yousay also, الرَّضَاعِ بِشَّىْءٍ تُعْطِيهِ ↓ أَذْهِبْ عَنْكَ مَذَمَّ الظِّئْرَ and الرَّضَاعِ ↓ مَذِمَّ, meaning [Put away from thee the obligation of] the right, or due, that is incumbent on thee to render her for the sucking of thy child [by something that thou shalt give to her who has suckled].

[Thus, too, ↓ أَظْنَنْتُهُ accord. to several copies of the S and accord. to the CK; but this is app. a mistranscription.] In the saying of Ibn-Seereen, لَمْ فِى قَتْلِ عُثْمَانَ ↓ يَكُنْ عَلِىٌّ يُظَّنُّ, (T, S, K, but in the T مَا كَان,) meaning Alee was not suspected [in the case of the slaying of 'Othmán], (T,) يُظَّنُّ is of the measure يُفْتَعَلُ, originally يُظْتَنُّ: (T, S, K:) so says A'Obeyd: (T:) or, as some relate it, the word is يُطَّنُّ. (TA.) One says, بِكَذَا ↓ هُوَ يُظَّنُّ and يُطَّنُّ, meaning He is suspected of such a thing. (TA in art. طن.) and طَنَنْتُ بِزَيْدٍ and ظَنَنْتُ زَيْدًا I suspected Zeyd: in this sense the verb has a single objective complement. (TA.) 4 أَظْنَنْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ I made him to think the thing. (M, TA.) b2: And أَظْنَنْتُ بِهِ النَّاسَ [I made the people to suspect him: or] I exposed him to suspicion; (M, Msb, TA;) [and] so أَظنَنْتُهُ [alone]. (K.) b3: See also 1, last quarter.5 التَّظَنِّى means The exercising, employing, or using, of الظَّنّ [i. e. thought, &c.]; originally التَّظَنُّنُ. (S, K.) A'Obeyd says, تَظَنَّيْتُ is from ظَنَنْتُ, and is originally تَظَنَّنْتُ; the ن being many, one of them is changed into ى: it is like قَصَّيْتُ, which is originally قَصَّصْتُ. (T.) A2: See also 1, first sentence.8 إِظْتَنَ3َ see 1, first sentence: b2: and again, in the last quarter, in three places.

ظَنٌّ is a simple subst. as well as an inf. n.; (TA;) and signifies Thought, opinion, supposition, or conjecture: (Er-Rághib, Mgh, TA:) or a preponderant belief, with the admission that the contrary may be the case: (KT, El-Munáwee, TA:) or a preponderating wavering between the two extremes in indecisive belief: (K:) or an inference from a sign, or mark, or token; when strong, leading to knowledge; and when weak, not exceeding the limit of وَهْم: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or doubt or uncertainty; (T, M;) or it has this meaning also; (Er-Rághib, TA;) contr. of يَقِينٌ: (Msb:) and sometimes it is put in the place, (S, K,) or used in the sense, (Mgh, Msb,) of عِلْمٌ, (S, Mgh, K,) or يَقِينٌ, (Msb,) [i. e. knowledge, or certainty,] in which sense it is [held by some to be] tropical; (Mgh;) or it signifies also knowledge, or certainty, (يَقِينٌ, T, M,) such as is obtained by considering with endeavour to understand, not by ocular perception, (M,) or not such as relates to an object of sense: (MF:) and it also means suspicion, or evil opinion: (Er-Rághib, TA: [but in this last sense, ظِنَّةٌ is more common:]) as a subst., (TA,) its pl. is ظُنُونٌ and أَظَانِينُ, (M, K, TA,) the latter anomalous, or (as ISd says, TA) it may be pl. of ↓ أُظْنُونَةٌ, but this I do not know. (M, TA.) One says, هُوَ سَيِّئُ الظَّنِّ بِكُلِّ أَحَدٍ [He is evil in opinion of everyone]. (M.) [And سَآءَ ظَنُّهُ بِفُلَانٍ

His opinion of such a one was evil.] And عِلْمُهُ بِالشَّىْءِ ظُنُونٌ [His knowledge is but opinions]; meaning that no confidence is to be placed in him. (TA.) ظِنَّةٌ Suspicion, or evil opinion; (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also طِنَّةٌ; the ظ being changed into ط, though there is no إِدْغَام in this case, because of their being accustomed to say اِطَّنَّ [for اِظَّنَّ, which is for اِظْطَنَّ]; an instance like الدِّكْرُ, which is made to accord with اِدَّكَرَ [for اِذَّكَرَ, which is for اِذْدَكَرَ], as mentioned by Sb; (M;) and ↓ ظَنَانَةٌ, (so accord. to a copy of the M,) or ↓ ظِنَانَةٌ, like كِتَابَةٌ, (TA,) signifies the same: (M, TA:) the pl. of ظِنَّةٌ is ظِنَنٌ. (S, K.) One says, عِنْدَهُ ظِنَّتِى and هُوَ ظِنَّتِى, meaning He is the place [i. e. object] of my suspicion. (TA.) b2: And [hence] (assumed tropical:) A little [like the French “ soupçon ”] of a thing. (TA.) ظُنَنٌ: see ظَنَّانٌ.

ظَنُونٌ A man who thinks evil (S, M) of everyone. (M.) b2: A man possessing little good or goodness: or, as some say, of whom one asks [a thing] thinking that he will refuse, and who is as he was thought to be: (M:) [or] ↓ ظَنِينٌ has this latter meaning. (TA.) b3: A man in whose goodness no trust, or confidence, is to be placed. (M.) And Anything in which no trust, or confidence, is to be placed, (M, TA,) of water, and of other things; (TA;) as also ↓ ظَنِينٌ. (M, TA.) A well (بِئْرٌ) having little water, (S, M, K,) in the water of which no trust, or confidence, is to be placed: (M:) or a well, (S, K,) or a drinkingplace, (M,) of which one knows not whether there be in it water or not: (S, M, K:) or water which one imagines, or supposes, to exist, but of which one is not sure. (TA.) كُلُّ مَنِيَّةٍ ظَنُونٌ

إِلَّا القَتْلَ فِى سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ is a saying mentioned, but not expl., by IAar; [app. meaning Every death is doubtful as to its consequence except slaughter in the way, or cause, of God; but ISd says,] in my opinion the meaning is that it is of little good and profit. (M.) دَيْنٌ ظَنُونٌ means A debt of which one knows not whether he who owes it will pay it or not: (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, * K:) it is said in a trad. of 'Omar that there is no poorrate in the case of such a debt. (TA.) b4: Also A man suspected in relation to his intellect, or intelligence. (Aboo-Tálib, TA.) And A woman suspected in relation to her grounds of pretension to respect, or honour, on account of lineage &c. (TA.) And A woman of noble rank or quality, who is taken in marriage, (M, K,) from a desire of obtaining off spring by her, when she is advanced in age. (M.) b5: Also A weak man. (K. [See also ظَنينٌ.]) b6: And A man having little artifice, cunning, ingenuity, or skill. (K.) ظَنِينٌ Suspected; (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K;) applied to a man; (S, M;) i. q. ↓ مَظْنُونٌ, (Mbr, Msb,) in this sense: (Msb:) pl. أَظِنَّآءُ. (M, TA.) Thus in the saying in the Kur [lxxxi. 24], وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِظَنِينٍ, (T, M, Msb,) meaning And he is not suspected as to what he makes known from God, of the knowledge of that which is undiscoverable, as is related on the authority of 'Alee: or, accord. to Fr, it may mean weak; for ظَنِينٌ may have this meaning like as ظَنُونٌ has: (T:) some read بِضَنينٍ. (TA in art. ضن, q. v.) شَهَادَةُ ظَنِينٍ, which is said in a trad. to be not allowable, is The testimony of one who is suspected as to his religion. (TA.) And نَفْسٌ

↓ ظَنَّآءُ means [A soul, or person,] suspected. (TA.) b2: Also One who treats or regards another, or others, with enmity, or hostility; (T, M;) because of his evil opinion and the evil opinion of which he is an object. (M.) b3: See also ظَنُونٌ, in two places.

ظَنَانَةٌ or ظِنَانَةٌ: see ظِنَّةٌ.

ظَنَّآءُ: see ظَنِينٌ.

ظَنَّانٌ One who opines, or conjectures, much [and] in an evil manner; as also ↓ ظُنَنٌ. (TA.) أَظَنُّ [Such as is more, or most, fit that one should think of him to do a thing]. You say, نَظَرْتُ إِلَى أَظَنِّهِمْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ I looked towards him who was the most fit of them that I should think of him to do that. (M, TA.) أُظْنُونَةٌ: see ظَنٌّ, near the end.

مَظِنَّةٌ, (M, Mgh, Msb, TA,) of which مَظَنَّةٌ, mentioned by Ibn-Málik and others, and مِظَنَّةٌ, are dial. vars., (TA,) or [rather] مَظِنَّةُ شَىْءٍ, (IF, S, Msb, K, TA,) signifies The place, (IF, S, Msb, K, TA,) and the accustomed place, (IF, S, Msb, TA,) in which is thought to be the existence, (S, K, TA,) of a thing; (IF, S, Msb, K, TA;) [a place] where a thing is thought to be: (M:) or it signifies, (Mgh, Msb,) or signifies also, (S,) a place where a thing is known to be: (S, Mgh, Msb:) [a thing, and a person, in which, or in whom, a thing, or quality, is thought, supposed, presumed, suspected, inferred, known, or accustomed, to be, or exist:] accord. to IAth, by rule it should be مَظَنَّةٌ: (TA:) [it may therefore be properly rendered a cause of thinking, &c., the existence of a thing; and مَظِنَّةٌ لِكَذَا may be well expl. as meaning a thing, and a person, that occasions one's thinking, supposing, presuming suspecting, inferring, or knowing, the existence of such a thing or quality, in it, or in him: and hence, an indication, or evidence, or a symptom, diagnostic, characteristic, sign, mark, or token, of the existence of such a thing or quality:] the pl. is مَظَانُّ. (M, Mgh, Msb, TA.) One says, مَوْضِعُ كَذَا مَظِنَّةٌ مِنْ فُلَانٍ i. e. Such a place is a place in which such a one is known [&c.] to be. (S, TA.) And فُلَانٌ مَظِنَّةٌ مِنْ كَذَا i. e. Such a one is one in whom such a thing, or quality, is known [&c.] to be. (Lh, T.) And فُلَانٌ مَظِنَّةٌ لِلْخَيْرِ i. e. Such a one is one in whom good, or goodness, is thought [&c.] to be. (Ham p. 437.) And En-Nábighah says, فَإِنْ يَكُ عَامِرٌ قَدْ قَالَ جَهْلًا فَإِنَّ مَظِنَّةَ الجَهْلِ الشَّبَابُ [And if 'Ámir has spoken ignorantly, verily youthfulness is a state in which ignorance is usually found to exist]: (S, Msb: *) or, as some relate the verse, السِّبَابُ [so that the meaning is, mutual reviling is an act in which &c.]: (S:) or, accord. to another relation, the latter hemistich is فَإِنَّ مَطِيَّةَ الجَهْلِ الشَّبَابُ (S, * TA;) because one finds it [i. e. youthfulness] to be easy like as he does the beast on which one rides. (TA.) And one says also, طَلَبَهُ مَظَانَّهُ [He sought him, or it, in the places where he, or it, was thought to be;] meaning, by night and by day. (TA.) And إِنَّهُ لَمَظِنَّةٌ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ i. e. Verily he is apt, meet, fitted, or suited, for one to think of his doing that: and in like manner one says of two, and of a pl. number, and of a female. (Lh, M.) مَظْنُونٌ [Thought, opined, &c.: see its verb: and] see ظَنِينٌ. Applied to a narrative, or story, it means [Doubted; or] of which one is not to be made to know the real state. (TA in art. رجم.) In lexicology, A word of the class termed آحَادٌ [q. v.]. (Mz 3rd نوع.)

ظب

ى5 تظبّى, if used, means He acted like the ظَبْى, or gazelle; being similar to تَذَأَّبَ and تَنَمَّرَ

&c.: its part. n. is mentioned in the first paragraph of art. ربض.]

ظَبْىٌ A certain animal, (TA,) well known; (S, Msb, K, TA;) the غَزَال [or gazelle; to which the former word is applied when used unrestrictedly, and which is app. here meant by the latter word, though this seems properly to signify “ a young gazelle ”]; (M;) [it is the gazella dorcas, also called antilope dorcas, of which the ariel, or antilope Arabica, is said to be a variety; or, accord. to some, each is a distinct species of gazelle: the name seems to be properly, but not always (as is shown by an explanation of رِئْمٌ), applied only to the true antelope of Arabia and adjacent countries, as distinguished from the cervine and bovine antelopes:] it is a name for the male; which is also called تَيْسٌ, when he has become what is termed a ثَنِىّ [q. v.], which he continues to be termed until he dies: (AHát, Msb, TA:) the female is called ظَبْيَةٌ, (AHát, T, M, Msb, K, TA,) and عَنْزٌ and مَاعِزَةٌ: (AHát, Msb, TA:) the dual is ظَبْيَانِ: (Msb, TA:) and the pl. is أَظْبٍ, (S, M, Msb, K,) originally أَظْبُىٌ, (S, Msb,) a pl. of pauc., (S,) and ظُبِىٌّ and ظِبَآءُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) which last is of the masc. and fem., (M, Msb,) and ظَبَيَاتٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) which is of the fem. (M, Msb.) One says, بِهِ دَآءُ ظَبْىٍ [lit. In him is the disease of a gazelle]; meaning in him is no disease; as there is [said to be] no disease in the ظبى. (AA, T.) And لَكَ عِنْدِى مِائَةٌ سِنَّ الظَّبْىِ [To thee I owe a hundred camels of the age of the gazelle], i. e., all of them ثُنْيَان [pl. of ثَنِىٌّ, q. v.], because the ظبى does not exceed what is termed إِثْنَآءٌ. (M.) [See also a verse cited voce سِنٌّ; in which the phrase فَجَآءَتْ كَسِنِّ الظَّبْىِ means And they came; like the age of the gazelle was the age of every one of them.] It is said in a prov., ↓ لَأَتْرُكَنَّهُ تَرْكَ ظُبَىٍّ

ظِلَّهُ [I will assuredly forsake him as a little gazelle forsakes the place of its shade]; because the ظبى, when it leaves its covert, does not return to it: it is said in confirming the relinquishing of anything. (T. [See ظِلٌّ, where other relations of this prov. are mentioned.]) And in another prov., الظِّبَآءَ عَلَى البَقَرِ, said when the tie of relationship and friendship between two men is severed, and it was used in the Time of Ignorance as a form of divorce: الظباء is in the accus. case by reason of اِخْتَرْتُ, or اِخْتَارَ, understood, [so that the meaning is I have preferred, or he has preferred, the gazelles to the wild cows,] by the بقر being meant the women: whence the saying, جَآءَ يَجُرُّ بَقَرَهُ [expl. in art. بقر]. (Meyd. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 61.]) And one says, أَتَيْتُهُ حِينَ شَدَّ الظَّبْىَ ظِلُّهُ i. e. [I came to him when its shade] confined the ظبى [or gazelle] by reason of the vehemence of the heat: or, as some relate it, حِينْ نَشَدَ الظَّبْىُ ظِلَّهُ, meaning طَلَبَهُ [i. e., when the gazelle sought its shade]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., إِذَا أَتَيْتَهُمْ فَارْبِضْ فِى دَارِهِمْ ظَبْيًا [expl. voce رَبَضَ]. (T, TA.) بِهِ لَا بِظَبْىٍ, (S, TA,) or بِهِ لَا بِظَبْىٍ أَعْفَرَ, a prov., meaning May this accident befall him, (لِيَنْزِلْ بِهِ هٰذِهِ الحَادِثَةُ,) not a white antelope, (Meyd,) is said on an occasion of rejoicing at another's affliction, (S, Meyd, TA,) by way of imprecation, i. e. may God make that which has befallen him to cleave to him. (S, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 148.]) b2: [الظِّبَآءُ and أَوْلَادُ الظِّبَآءِ are mentioned by Freytag as names of Certain stars: in relation to the former of which he refers to Ideler's

“ Unters. ” pp. 20-21; and in relation to the latter, to the same work p. 21.] b3: And الظَّبْىُ is the name of A brand, or mark made with a hot iron, peculiar to some of the Arabs. (T, K.) ظَبْيَةٌ fem. of ظَبْىٌ [q. v.]. (AHát, T, &c.) b2: Also a name for (assumed tropical:) A woman; [or, app. a young woman;] and so أُمُّ ظَبْيَةٍ. (Msb, TA.) b3: and (assumed tropical:) A man who is stupid, dull, wanting in intel-ligence, inert, or wanting in vigour. (K, TA: but not in the CK.) b4: And accord. to the K, i. q. شَاةٌ: and بَقَرَةٌ: but this is a great mistake, caused by a misunderstanding of what is cited in the passage here next following from the M. (TA.) b5: Also The vulva of a woman: (Lth, T, S, M, K:) and, (M,) accord. to As, (T, S,) of any solid-hoofed beast: (T, S, M:) accord. to some, (M,) or accord. to Fr, (T, S,) of the bitch: (T, S, M:) and accord. to Lth, of the she-camel: (T:) IAar makes it to be peculiarly of the she-ass, and of the ewe or she-goat, and of the cow; (M;) meaning that it signifies the vulva of these: (TA:) and it signifies also the vagina of the mare. (M.) b6: Also 1 [bag for travellingprovisions &c., such as is called] جِرَاب: (M, K:) or peculiarly a small جِرَاب: (M, K: *) or one made of the skin of the ظَبْى [or gazelle]: (M:) or a thing [i. e. a pouch] like the خَرِيطَة and the كِيس: dim. ↓ ظُبَيَّةٌ: and pl. ظِبَآءٌ. (T.) b7: and A [tent such as is called] خِبَآء. (TA.) b8: and A place of bending, or turning, of a valley; (M, K;) as also ظُبَةٌ [mentioned in art. ظبو]: pl. of the former ظِبَآءٌ. (M.) A2: ظَبْيَةُ is one of the names of The well Zemzem. (TA.) ظُبَىٌّ: see ظَبْىٌ [of which it is the dim.].

ظُبَيَّةٌ dim. of ظَبْيَةٌ, q. v.

أَرْضٌ مَظْبَاةٌ A land abounding with ظِبَآء [or gazelles]. (M.)
