امر

1 أَمَرَــهُ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـُ (M, &c.,) inf. n. أَمْرٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and إِمَارٌ, (M, L, K,) which latter, however, is disapproved by MF, (TA,) and إِيمَارٌ is syn. therewith, (K,) but this also is disapproved by MF, and deemed by him strange, [being by rule the inf. n. of ↓ آمَرَهُ, respecting which see what follows,] (TA,) and آمِرَةٌ, (M, K,) which is one of the inf. ns. [or quasiinf. ns.] of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ, like عَافِيَةٌ and عَاقِبَةٌ, (M,) He commanded him; ordered him; bade him; enjoined him; the inf. n. signifying the contr. of نَهْىٌ; (T, M, K;) as also ↓ آمرهُ, (Kr, M, K,) mentioned by A'Obeyd also as a dial. var. of أمَرَــهُ: (Msb:) but A'Obeyd says that آمَرْتُهُ and أَمرْــتُهُ are syn. [in a sense different from that explained above, i. e.] as meaning كَثَّرْتُهُ. (TA.) You say, أَمَرَــهُ بِهِ, (S, M, K,) and أَمَرَــهُ إِيَّاهُ, suppressing the prep., (M,) He commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do it. (M, K.) And أمَرْــتُكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ, and لِتَفْعَلَ, and بِأنْ تَفْعَلَ, I commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, thee to do [such a thing]. (M.) [And أَمَرَــهُ بِكَذَا as meaning He commanded him, or ordered him, to make use of such a thing; or the like: whence, in a trad.,] أُمِرْــتُ بِالسِّوَاكِ [I have been commanded to make use of the tooth-stick]. (El-Jámi' es-Sagheer.) [And He enjoined him such a thing; as, for instance, patience.] The أَمْرٌ">imperative of أَمَرَ is مُرْ; originally اؤْمُرْ; which also occurs [with وَ in the place of ؤ when the ا is pronounced with damm]: (M:) but [generally] when it is not preceded by a conjunction, (Msb,) i. e., by وَ or فَ, (T,) you suppress the ء, [i. e. the radical ء, and with it the conjunctive ا preceding it,] contr. to rule, and say, مُرْهُ بِكَذَا [Command, or order, or bid, or enjoin, thou him to do such a thing]; like as you say, كُلْ and خُذْ: when, however, it is preceded by a conjunction, the practice commonly obtaining is, to restore the وَــأْمُرْ بِكَذَا, agreeably with analogy, and thus to say, أَمُرْ بِكَذَا. (Msb.) b2: [You say also, أَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ He gave an order respecting him, and accordingly he was slain. And أَمَرَ لَهُ بِكَذَا He ordered that such a thing should be done, or given, to him.] b3: In the Kur [xvii. 17], أَمَرْــنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا, so accord. to most of the readers, (T, &c.,) means We commanded [its luxurious inhabitants] to obey, but they transgressed therein, or departed from the right way, or disobeyed: (Fr, T, S, &c.:) so says Aboo-Is-hák; adding that, although one says, أَمَرتُ زَيْدًا فَضَرَبَ عَمْرًا, meaning I commanded Zeyd to beat 'Amr, and he beat him, yet one also says, أَمَرْــتُكَ فَعَصَيْتَنِى [I commanded thee, but thou disobeyedst me]: or, accord. to some, the meaning is, We multiplied its luxurious inhabitants; (T;) and this is agreeable with another reading, namely, ↓ آمَرْنَا; (TA;) and a reading of El-Hasan, namely, أَمِرْــنَا, like عَلِمْنَا, may be a dial. var., of the same signification: (M:) see 4, in two places: or it may be from الإِمَارَةُ; (S, TA;) [in which case it seems that we should read ↓ أَمَّرْــنَا; or, perhaps, أَمَرْــنَا: see 2:] Abu-l-'Áliyeh reads ↓ أَمَّرْــنَا, and this is agreeable with the explanation of I'Ab, who says that the meaning is, We made its chiefs to have authority, power, or dominion. (TA.) b4: أَمَرَــهُ, aor. ـُ also signifies He commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do that which it behooved him to do. (A.) [He counselled, or advised, him.] One says, مُرْنِى, meaning Counsel thou me; advise thou me. (A.) b5: أَمَرَ بِاقْتِنَاصٍ, said of a wild animal, means He rendered the beholder desirous of capturing him. (M.) A2: أَمَرَ, (As, Fr, Th, T, S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb, TA;) and أَمُرَ, aor. ـُ (S, M, IKtt, K;) and أَمِرَ, aor. ـَ (M, K, and several other authorities; but by some this is disallowed; TA;) inf. n. أَمْرٌ (K) and إِمْرَةٌ (S) and إِمَارَةٌ; (As, T, S;) or the second is a simple subst.; (K;) or perhaps it is meant in the S that this and the third are quasi-inf. ns.; (MF;) He had, or held, command; he presided as a commander, governor, lord, prince, or king; (M, Msb, K;) he became an أَمِير; (As, T, S;) عَلَى

القَوْمِ over the people. (M, * Msb, K.) [See also 5.]

أَمَرَ فُلَانٌ وَــأُمِرَ عَلَيْهِ, or عليه ↓ وأُمِّرَ, (as in different copies of the S,) [Such a one has held command and been commanded,] is said of one who has been a commander, or governor, after having been a subject of a commander, or governor; meaning such a one is a person of experience; or one who has been tried, or proved and strengthened, by experience. (S.) A3: أَمَرَــهُ as syn. with آمَرَهُ: see 4.

A4: أَمِرَ, (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. أَمَرٌ and أَمْرَــة; (M, K, TA; the latter written in the CK اَمْرَة;) and أمُرَ, aor. ـَ (IKtt;) (assumed tropical:) It (a thing, M, Msb, or a man's property, or camels or the like, Abu-l-Hasan and S, and a people, T, S) multiplied; or became many, or much, or abundant; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) and became complete. (M, K.) b2: And the former, (assumed tropical:) His beasts multiplied; or became many; (M, K;) [ as also ↓ آمر; for you say,] بَنُو فُلَانٍ ↓ آمر, inf. n. إِيمَارٌ, (assumed tropical:) The property, or camels or the like, of the sons of such a one multiplied; or became many, or abundant.

(Akh, S, K.) 2 أمّرهُ, inf. n. تَأْمِيرٌ, He made him, or appointed him, commander, governor, lord, prince, or king. (S, * Mgh, Msb.) [And it seems to be indicated in the S that ↓ أَمَرَــهُ, without teshdeed, signifies the same.] See 1, in three places. Yousay also, أُمِّرَــعَلَيْنَا (A, TA) He was made, or appointed, commander, &c., over us. (TA.) b2: Also He appointed him judge, or umpire. (Mgh.) b3: أمّر القَنَاةَ (assumed tropical:) He affixed a spear-head to the cane or spear. (T, M.) [See also the pass. part. n., below.] b4: أمّرأَمَارَةٍ He made [a thing] a sign, or mark, to show the way. (T.) 3 آمرهُ فِي أَمْرِــهِ, (T, * S, M, Msb,) inf. n. مُؤَامَرَةٌ, (S, K,) He consulted him respecting his affair, or case; (T, * S, M, Msb, K, * TA;) as also وَامَرَهُ; (TA;) or this is not a chaste form; (IAth, TA;) or it is vulgar; (S, TA;) and ↓ استــأمرهُ, (M,) inf. n. اسْتِئْمَارٌ; (S, K;) and ↓ ائتمرهُ, (T,) inf. n. ائتِمَارٌ. (S, K.) It is said in a trad., آمِرُوا النِّسَآءَ فِى أَنْفُسِهِنَّ Consult ye women respecting themselves, as to marrying them. (TA.) And in another trad., آمَرَتْ نَفْسَهَا, meaning She consulted herself, or her mind; as also ↓ استــأمرت نفسها. (TA.) [See another ex. voce نَفْسٌ. and see also 8.]4 آمر, inf. n. إِيمَارٌ: see 1, last sentence but one, in two places.

A2: آمْرٌ; (S, M, Msb, K;) and ↓ أَمَرَــهُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) accord. to some, (M,) aor. ـُ (Msb, K,) inf. n. أَمْرٌ; (Msb;) both signifying the same accord. to AO, (S,) or A 'Obeyd, (TA,) but the latter is of weak authority, (K,) or is not allowable; (M;) and, accord. to El-Hasan's reading of xvii. 17 of the Kur, (see 1,) ↓ أَمِرَــهُ also; (M;) (assumed tropical:) He (a man) multiplied it; or made it many, or much, or abundant: (S, Msb:) He (God) multiplied, or made many or much or abundant, his progeny, and his beasts: (M, K:) and آمر مَالَهُ (assumed tropical:) He (God) multiplied, &c., his property, or camels or the like. (S.) A3: See also 1, first sentence, in two places.5 تــأمّر He became made, or appointed, commander, governor, lord, prince, or king; (Msb;) he received authority, power, or dominion; عَلَيْهِمْ over them. (S, K.) [See also أَمَرَ.] b2: See also 8.6 تَاَاْمَرَ see 8, in three places.8 ائتمر [written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَمَرَ] He obeyed, or conformed to, a command; (S, * M, Mgh, K; *) he heard and obeyed. (Msb.) You say, ائتمر بِخَيْرٍ, meaning He was as though his mind commanded him to do good and he obeyed the command. (M.) And [you use it transitively, saying,] ائتمر الــأَمْرَ He obeyed, or conformed to, the command. (S.) And لَا يَأْتَمِرُ رُشْدًا He will not do right of his own accord. (A.) Imra el-Keys says, (S,) or En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab, (T,) وَيَعْدُو عَلَى المَرْءِ مَا يَأْتَمِرْ [And that which man obeys wrongs him, or injures him]; meaning, that which his own soul commands him to do, and which he judges to be right, but in which often is found his destruction: (S:) or, accord. to KT, that evil which man purposes to do: (T:) or that which man does without consideration, and without looking to its result. (A 'Obeyd, T.) [See what follows.] b2: He undertook a thing without consulting; (KT, T;) as though his soul, or mind, ordered him to do it and he obeyed it: (TA:) he followed his own opinion only. (Mgh.) One says, أَمَرْــتُهُ فأْتَمَرَ وَأَبَى

أَنْ يَأْتَمِرَ, (A, Mgh,) meaning I commanded him, but he followed his own opinion only, and refused to obey. (Mgh.) b3: He formed an opinion, and consulted his own mind, and determined upon it. (Sh, T.) And ائتمر رَأْيَهُ He consulted his own mind, or judgment, respecting what was right for him to do.

(S.) It is said in the Kur [lxv. 6], وَأْتَمِرُوا بَيْنَكُمْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ And command ye, or enjoin ye, one another to do good: [such is app. the meaning,] but God best knoweth: (T:) or, accord. to KT, purpose ye among yourselves to do good. (TA.) And in the same [xxviii. 19], إِنَّ الْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلوُكَ, meaning Verily the chiefs command one another respecting thee, to slay thee: (Zj, T:) or consult together against thee, to slay thee: (AO, T:) or purpose against thee, to slay thee: (KT, T:) but the last but one of these explanations is better than the last. (T.) b5: See also 3. b6: Accord. to El-Bushtee, ائتمرهُ also signifies He gave him permission: but this has not been heard from an Arab. (Az, TA.) 10 إِسْتَاْمَرَ see 3, in two places.

أَمْرٌ A command; an order; a bidding; an injunction; a decree; an ordinance; a prescript: (S, * Msb, * TA, &c.:) pl. أَوَامِرُ: (S, Msb, &c.:) so accord. to common usage; and some writers of authority justify and explain it by saying that أَمْرٌ is [originally] مَأْمُوُرٌ بِهِ; that it is then changed to the measure فَاعِلٌ; [i. e., to آمِرٌ;] like أَمْرٌ عَارِفٌ, which is originally مَعْرُوفٌ; and عِيشَةٌ راضِيَةٌ, originally مَرْضِيَّةٌ; &c.; [and then, to أَمْرٌ;] and that فَاعِلٌ becomes in the pl. فَوَاعِلُ; so that أَوَامَرُ is the pl. of مَإْمُورٌ: others say that it has this form of pl. to distinguish it from أَمْرٌ in the sense of حَالٌ [&c.], in which sense it has for its pl. أُمُورٌ. (Msb, TA.) [But I think that أَوَامِرُ may be properly and originally pl. of آمِرَةٌ, for آيَةٌ آمِرَةٌ, or the like. MF says that, accord. to the T and M, the pl. of أَمْرٌ in the sense explained in the beginning of this paragraph is أُمُورٌ: but he seems to have founded his assertion upon corrupted copies of those works; for in the M, I find nothing on this point; and in the T, not, as he says, الــأَمْرُــضِدُّ النَّهْىَ وَاحِدُ الأُمُور, but قَالَ اللَّيْثُ الــأَمْرُ مَعْرُوفٌ نَقِيضُ النَّهْىِ وَاحِدُ الأُمُورِ, evidently meaning that أَمْرٌ signifies the contr. of نَهْىٌ, and is also, in another sense, the sing. of أُمُورٌ.] [Hence,] أُولُو الــأَمْرِ Those who hold command or rule, and the learned men. (M, K. [See Kur iv. 62.]) and أَمْرُــاللّٰهِ The threatened punishment of God: so in the Kur x. 25, and xi. 42, and xvi.1; in which last place occur the words, أَتَي أَمْرُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ, meaning The threatened punishment ordained of God hath, as it were, come: so near is it, that it is as though it had already come: therefore desire not ye to hasten it. (Zj, M, TA.) And The purpose of God. (Bd and Jel in lxv. 3; &c.) and الــأَمْرُ قَرِيبٌ The resurrection, or the time thereof, is near. (Mgh, from a trad.) And مَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ

أَمْرِــى, in the Kur xviii. 81, I did it not of my own judgment: (Bd:) or, of my own choice. (Jel.) [Hence also الــأَمْرُ, in grammar, signifies The أَمْرٌ">imperative form of a verb.] b2: Also A thing; an affair; a business; a matter; a concern: a state, of a person or thing, or of persons or things or affairs or circumstances; a condition; a case: an accident; an event: an action: syn. شَأْنٌ: (M, F, TA:) and حَالٌ, (Msb, TA,) and حَالَةٌ: (Msb:) and حَادِثَةٌ: (K:) and فِعْلٌ: (MF, TA:) and a thing that is said; a saying: ( TA voce أُولُو, at the end of art. ال:) pl. أُمُورٌ; (S, M, K, &c.;) its only pl. in the senses here explained. (TA.) You say, أَمْرُ فُلَانٍ مُسْتَقِيمٌ [The affair, or the like, of such a one is in a right state]: and امُورُهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ [His affairs are in a right state]. (S, A.) And شَتَّتَ أَمْرَــهُ He dissipated, disorganized, disordered, unsettled, or broke up, his state of things, or affairs. (As, TA in art. شعب.) [امر seems to be here used, as in many other instances, rather in the sense of the pl. than in that of the sing.] b3: أَمْرٌ كُلِّىٌّ [A universal, or general, prescript, rule, or canon]. (Msb voce قَاعِدَةٌ, KT voce قَانُونٌ, &c.) إِمْرٌ a subst. from أَمِرَــالِــأَمْرُ in the sense of اِشْتَدَّ; (S;) or a subst. from أَمِرَ as signifying كَثُرَ and تَمَّ; (M;) (assumed tropical:) [A severe, a distressful, a grievous, or an afflictive, thing: or] a terrible, and foul, or very foul, thing: or a wonderful thing. (TA,) Hence, [used as an epithet, like أَمِرٌ, q. v.,] in the Kur [xviii. 70], لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا إِمْرًا (assumed tropical:) Verily thou hast done a severe, a distressful, a grievous, or an afflictive, thing: (S:) or a terrible, and foul, or very foul, thing: (TA:) or a wonderful thing: (S:) or an abominable, a foul, or an evil, and a wonderful, thing: (Ks, M, K: *) or a terrible and an abominable thing; signifying more than نَكْرًا, [which occurs after, in verse 73,] inasmuch as the [presumed] drowning of the persons in the ship was more abominable than the slaying of one person: (Zj, T:) or a crafty, and an abominable, or a foul, or an evil, and a wonderful, thing; and derived from أَمِرَ القَوْمُ as meaning كَثُرُوا. (Ks.) أَمَرٌ a coll. gen. n. of which أَمَرَــةٌ (q. v.) is the n. un.

A2: See also تَأْمُورٌ.

أَمِرٌ: see إِمَّرٌ.

A2: (assumed tropical:) Multiplied; or become many, or much, or abundant. (M, K.) [See أَمِرَ.] Yousay زَرْعٌ أَمِرٌ (assumed tropical:) Abundant seed-produce.

(Ibn-Buzurj.) and with ة, (assumed tropical:) A woman blessed to her husband [ by her being prolific]: from the signification of كَثْرَةٌ. (M.) A3: (assumed tropical:) Severe; distressful; afflictive. (TA.) [See also إِمْرٌ.]

أَمْرَــةٌ A single command, order, bidding, or injunction: as in the saying, لَكَ عَلَىَّ أَمْرَــةٌ مُطَاعَةٌ Thou hast authority to give me one command, order, bidding, or injunction, which shall be obeyed by me. (S, M, * A, Msb, K.) You should not say, [in this sense,] إِمْرَةٌ, with kesr. (T, S.) A2: See also إِمْرَةٌ.

إِمْرَةٌ a subst. from أَمَرَ [q. v.]; Possession of command; the office, and authority, of a commander, governor, lord, prince, or king; (M, * Msb, K;) as also ↓ إِمَارَةٌ (Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ; (L, K;) but this last is by some disallowed, and is said in the Fs and its Expositions to be unknown. (MF.) It is said in a trad., لَعَلَّكَ سآءَ تْكَ إِمْرَةُ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ Perhaps thy paternal uncle's son's possession of command hath displeased thee. (TA.) b2: [And hence, (assumed tropical:) Increase, or abundance, or the like; as also other forms mentioned in what follows.] You say, فِى وَجْهِ مَالِكَ تَعْرِفُ إِمْرَتَهُ (assumed tropical:) In the face of thy property, [meaning such as consists in camels or the like, and also money,] thou knowest its increase and abundance, and its expense: (S:) or ↓ إِمَّرَتَهُ, and ↓ إِمّرَتَهُ, which latter is a dial. var. of weak authority, and ↓ أَمَّرَــتَهُ, i. e., its increase and abundance: (M:) or ↓ إِمَّرَتَهُ as meaning its prosperous state; as also ↓ أَمَارَتَهُ, and ↓ أَمْرَــتَهُ: (Ibn-Buzurj:) accord. to AHeyth, who reads ↓ تُعْرَفُ إِمَّرَتُهُ, the meaning is, its decrease; but the correct meaning is, its increase, as Fr explains it. (T, TA.) It is said respecting anything of which one knows what is good in it at first sight: (Lh, M:) and means, on a thing's presenting itself, thou knowest its goodness. (T.) One says also, ↓ مأَحْسَنَ أَمَارَتَهُمْ (assumed tropical:) How good is their multiplying, and the multiplying of their offspring and of their number! (M.) And ↓ لَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ فِيهِ إِمَّرَةً (assumed tropical:) May God not make an increase to be therein.

(in all the senses above, K) [or rather the coll. gen. n.,] is أَمَرٌ. (S, K.) A2: See also إِمْرَةٌ.

أَمَارٌ and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ A sign, mark, or token. (As, S Mgh.) See also each voce أَمَرَــةٌ, in three places. You say, هِى أَمَارَةُ مَا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ It is a sign, or token, of what is between me and thee. (T, * TA.) And a poet says, إِذَا طَلَعَتْ شَمْسُ النَّهَارِ فَإِنَّهَا

أَمَارَةُ تَسْلِيمِى عَلَيْكِ فَسَلِّمِى

[When the sun of day rises, it is a sign of my saluting thee, therefore do thou salute]. (TA.) b2: Also A time: (As, S, K:) so IAar explains the latter word, not particularizing the time as definite or otherwise: (M:) or a definite time: (TA:) or a time, or place, of promise or appointment; an appointed time or place; syn. مَوْعِدٌ: (M, Mgh, K:) or, accord. to some, the former word is pl. [or rather col. gen. n.] of the latter. (TA.) El-'Ajjáj says, إِذْ رَدَّهَا بِكَيْدِهِ فَارْتَدَّتِ

إِلَي أَمَارٍ وَأَمَارِ مُدَّتِى

When He (meaning God) brings it, ( namely my soul,) by his skilful ordering, and his power, [and it is thus brought, or it thus comes, to a set time, and] to the time of the end of my appointed period: امارمدّتى being as above; the former word being prefixed to the latter, governing it in the gen. case. (IB. [In the S we find وَأَمَارٌ مُدَّتِى.]) أَمُورٌ [an intensive epithet from أَمَرَــهُ]. You say, إِنَّهُ لَأَمُورٌ بِالْمَعْروفِ وَنَهُوٌّ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ Verily he is one who strongly commands, or enjoins, good conduct, and who strongly forbids evil conduct. (S in art. نهى, and A. *) أَمِيرٌ One having, holding, or possessing, command; (S;) a commander; a governor; a lord; (M, * Msb;) a prince, or king: (M, K:) fem. with ة: (S, K:) pl. إُمَرَآءُ.

(KL.) 3 جادّهُ فِى الــأَمْرِ, (S, L, K, *) inf. n. مُجَادَّةٌ, (L,) i. q. حَاقَّهٌ (S, L) or حَاقَقَهُ (K) [He contended with him respecting a thing, each of them asserting his right therein: so accord. to explanations of حاقّهُ in the lexicons: but I think that the meaning intended here is, he acted seriously, or in earnest, with him in the affair; and this is confirmed by its being immediately added in the TA, after حاققه, “and أَجَدَّ ” signifies “ حَقَّقَ, as above mentioned: ” see جَدَّفِى الــأَمْرِ expl. by حَقَّقَ as contr. of هَزَلَ]. Also He exerted his full effort, or endeavour, or energy, with him in the affair. (So accord. to an explanation of the inf. n., مجادَة, in the KL.) 4 اجدّ النَّخْلُ The palm-trees attained to the time for the cutting off of the fruit. (S, A, * L, Msb, K.) b2: [Hence, perhaps,] أَجَدَّتْ قَرُنِى مِنْهُ I (myself, TA) relinquished, or forsook, him, or it. (K.) A2: اجدّهُ, and ↓ استجدّهُ, (S, A, L, K,) and ↓ جدّدهُ, (S, L, K,) He made it new; (S, A, L, K;) namely, a thing, (S,) or a garment: (A, TA:) or he put it on, or wore it, new; namely, a garment. (TA.) One says to him who puts on a new garment, أَبْلِ وَأَجِدَّ وَاحْمَدِ الكَاسِى [Wear out, and make, or put on, new, and praise the Clother, meaning God]. (S.) And you say, بَهِىَ بَيْتُ فُلَانٍ فَأَجَدَّ بَيْتًا مِنْ شَعَرٍ [The tent of such a one was, or became, rent, or pierced with holes; therefore he made a new tent of haircloth]. (S.) And الــأَمْرَ ↓ جدّد, and اجدّهُ, and ↓ استجدّهُ, He originated, or innovated, the thing, or affair; or did it newly, or for the first time (Msb.) And الوُضُوْءَ ↓ جدّد (tropical:) [He renewed the ablution termed وضوء], and العَهْدَ (tropical:) [the compact, or contract, or covenant, &c.]. (TA.) b2: اجدّ فُلَانٌ أَمْرَــهُ بِذٰلِكَ Such a one established, or settled, firmly his affair, or case, thereby, or therein: so says As, and he cites the following verse: أَجَدَّ بِهَا أَمْرًــا وَأَيْقَنَ أَنَّهُ لَهَا أَوْخْرَي كَالطَّحِينَ تُرَابُهَا [He established, or settled, firmly his case thereby, or therein, and knew certainly that he was for it, (app. meaning a war, or battle, حَرْب, which is fem.,) or for another whereof the dust would be like flour]: Aboo-Nasr says, It has been related to me that he said, اجدَ بها امرًا means اجدّ أَمْرَــهُ بِهَا; [and so this phrase is explained in the K;] but the former explanation I heard from himself: (L:) or this phrase means أَجَدَّ أَمْرُــهُ بِهَا [so in two copies of the S, app., (assumed tropical:) his affair, or case, became easy, or practicable, thereby, like ground termed جَدَد, which is easy to walk, or travel, upon; see the next sentence]; امر being put in the accus. case as a specificative, like عَيْنًا in the phrase قَرِرْتُ بِهِ عَيْنًا, meaning قَرَّتْ بِهِ عَيْنِى. (S.) A3: اجدّ also signifies It (a road) was, or became, what is termed جَدَد [i. e. hard, or level, &c.]. (S, K.) And اجدّت لَكَ الأَرْضُ The ground hath become to thee free from soft places, and clear to thy view. (TA.) b2: Also He walked along, or traversed, what is termed جَدَد. (K.) And اجدّ القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, came to what is so termed: (S:) and ascended upon the surface (جَدِيد) of the ground: or went upon sand such as is termed جَدَد. (TA.) A4: See also 1, in three places.5 تجدّد [originally It became cut, or cut off. b2: And hence,] It (an udder) lost, or became devoid of, its milk: (S, K:) and [in like manner]

↓ جُدَّ, aor. ـَ inf. n. جَدَدٌ, it, (a breast, and an udder,) became dry. (A Heyth, TA.) b3: Hence also, [It was newly made; as though newly cut off from the web;] said of a garment: (TA:) and it (a thing, S, A) became new: (S, A, K:) and it (a thing, or an affair,) originated; was originated, or innovated; or was done newly, or for the first time: and sometimes ↓ استجدّ is used intransitively [in the same senses]. (Msb.) [Also (assumed tropical:) It (an action, as, for instance, ablution, and a compact, or the like,) was renewed. See جَدَّدَ as syn. with أَجَدَّ.]10 إِسْتَجْدَ3َ see 4, in two places: A2: and see also 5.

جَدٌّ Fortune, or particularly good fortune, syn. حَظٌّ, (S, A, Mgh, L, K,) and بَخْتٌ, (S, A, L, K,) in the world, or in wordly circumstances; (TA;) advance in the world, or in worldly circumstances: (Mgh:) pl. [of mult.] جُدُودٌ (S) and [of pauc.] أَجْدَادٌ and أَجُدٌّ. (TA.) Yousay, فُلَانٌ ذُو جَدٍّ فِى كَذَا Such a one is possessed of good fortune in such a thing. (L.) And it is said in a trad. respecting the day of resurrection, وَإِذَا أَصْحَابُ الجَدِّ مَحْبُوسُونَ And lo, the people who were possessed of good fortune and riches in the world were imprisoned. (L.) and in a prayer, (L,) لَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الجَدِّ مِنْكَ الجَدُّ The good worldly fortune of him who is possessed of such fortune will not profit him, (Mgh, L,) in the world to come, (L,) in lieu of Thee; (Mgh, L; *) i. e., of obedience to Thee: (Mgh, and Mughnee in art. مِنْ:) or in lieu of the good fortune that cometh from Thee: or, as some say, will not defend him from Thee. (Mughnee ubi suprà. [See also another explanation below.]) Hence, أَجَدَّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ [or أَجَدِّكَ]; and, accord. to some, وَجَدِّكَ: see جِدٌّ. b2: One's lot in life; and the means of subsistence that one receives from the bounty of God. (L, K.) One says, لِفُلَانٍ فِى

هٰذَا الــأَمْرِ جَدٌّ Such a one has in this thing, or state of affairs, means of subsistence. (A'Obeyd, L.) b3: Richness; competence, or sufficiency; or the state of being in no need, or of having no wants, or of having few wants. (S, L, Msb.) لا ينفع ذا الجدّ منك الجدّ, [explained above, is said to mean] Riches, &c., will not profit the possessor thereof with Thee; for nothing will profit him but acting in obedience to Thee: منك here signifies عِنْدَكَ. (S, Msb.) b4: Greatness, or majesty; (Mujáhid, S, Mgh, Msb, K;) accord. to some, specially of God: (TA:) so in the Kur lxxii. 3: (S, TA:) or his freedom from all wants or the like; syn. غِنًى. (S.) Hence, تَعَالَى جَدُّكَ, (Mgh, TA,) in a trad. respecting prayer, (TA,) Exalted be thy greatness, or majesty. (Mgh, * TA.) b5: See also أَجَدَّكَ, as an interrogative phrase, voce جِدٌّ.

A2: Also, (S, K,) and ↓ مَجْدُودٌ, (S, A, Mgh, K,) and ↓ جَدِيدٌ, (S, Msb, K,) and ↓ جَدِّيٌّ, (S,) and ↓ جُدٌّ, and ↓ جُدِّيٌّ, the last two with damm, (K,) applied to a man, Fortunate; or possessed of good fortune; (S, A, Mgh, Msb;) or possessed of good worldly fortune: (TA:) or possessing great fortune, or great good fortune: (K:) [the words here given from the S are there coupled with synonyms of the same form, thus; جَدِيدٌ ↓ حَظِيظٌ, and مَحْظُوظٌ ↓ مَجْدُودق, and جَدٌّ حَظُّ, and حَظِّىٌّ ↓ جَدِّيٌّ; on the authority of ISk:] ↓ جُدٌّ, with damm, as an epithet applied to a man, is said by Sb to be syn. with مَجْدُودٌ; and its pl. is جُدٌّونَ only. (L.) A3: Also جَدُّ, A grandfather; the father's father, and the mother's father: (S, Msb, K:) and (assumed tropical:) a higher ascendant; an ancestor: (Msb:) and ↓ جَدَّةٌ a grandmother; the father's mother, and the mother's mother: (K:) [and (assumed tropical:) a female ancestor:] pl. of the former, أَجْدَادٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and جُدُودٌ and جُدُودَةٌ: (K:) and of the latter, جَدَّاتٌ. (TA.) Hence, accord. to some, وَجَدِّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ: see جِدٌّ.

A4: See also جُدَّةٌ: b2: and see جَدِيدٌ.

جُدٌّ: see جَدٌّ, in two places.

A2: See also جُدَّةٌ. b2: Also The side (جَانِب) of anything. (K.) A3: And A well in a place where is much herbage, or pasture: (S, Msb, K:) a well abounding with water; (K;) [and] so ↓ جُدْجُدٌ; (KL;) but A'Obeyd says that this is not known: (L:) and, contr., a well containing little water: a scanty water, or water little in quantity: a water at the extremity of a [desert such as is called] فَلَاة: (K:) an old water: (Th, K:) an old well: (KL:) pl. (in all these senses, TA) أَجْدَادٌ. (Msb, TA.) جِدٌّ [accord. to some an inf. n., but accord. to others a simple subst., (see جَدَّ,)] Seriousness, or earnestness, contr. of هَزْلٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) in speech. (Msb.) Hence, ثَلَاثٌ جِدُّهُنَّ جِدٌّ وَهَزْلُهُنَّ جِدٌّ [There are three things in relation to which what is serious is serious and what is jesting is serious]: a saying of Mohammad, whereby he forbade a man's divorcing and emancipating and marrying and then retracting, saying “ I was jesting; ” as was customary in the time of paganism. (Msb.) أَجِدَّكَ and ↓ أَجَدَّكَ signify the same; (S;) but the former is the more chaste; (TA;) جِدّ and جَدّ being thus used only as prefixed nouns: (S, K:) As says that the meaning is, أَبِجِدٍّ مِنْكَ هٰذَا [Does this proceed from thee in seriousness, or in earnest?]; and that جِدّ is put in the accus. case because of the rejection of the [prep.] ب: AA says that the meaning is, مَا لَكَ أَجِدًّا مِنْكَ [What aileth thee? Doth it proceed from thee in seriousness, or in earnest?]; and that جدّ is put in the accus. case as an inf. n.: Th says that the phrase as it occurs in poetry is أَجِدَّكَ, with kesr: (S:) but when it occurs with وَ [in the place of أَ, or with أَ in the sense of وَ, as a particle denoting an oath,] it is ↓ وَجَدِّكَ [or أَجَدِّكَ], with fet-h: (S, K:) yon say, وَجَدِّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ, (K, in the CK وَجَدَّكَ,) meaning, By thy grandfather, do not [such a thing]: or by thy fortune, or good fortune, do not: (TA:) also, when you say, أَجِدَّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ, [or أَجِدِّكَ, for أَ (q. v.) is substituted for a particle of swearing, as in أَللّٰهِ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ,] the meaning is, I adjure thee by thy truth, (Lth, K,) and by thy seriousness, or earnestness, (Lth, TA,) do not: and when you say, لَا تَفْعَلْ ↓ أَجَدَّكَ, [or أَجَدِّكَ,] the meaning is, I adjure thee by thy fortune, or good fortune, do not: (Lth, K:) Aboo- 'Alee Esh-Shalowbeenee asserts that it implies the signification of an oath. (MF.) In the phrase اجدّك لا تَفْعَلُ, AAF says, we may consider لا تفعل as put in the place of a denotative of state; or the phrase may be originally اجدّك أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلَ, ان being suppressed, and its government annulled: [therefore it may be rendered, in the former case, Is it with seriousness on thy part, thou doing such a thing? and in the latter case, Is it with seriousness on thy part that thou will not do such a thing? i. e. dost thou mean seriously that thou will not do it? or in this case, اجدّك may be used as a form of adjuration in one of the senses explained above, and لَا تَفْعَلُ may mean, that thou do not such a thing; or اجدّك may mean وَجَدَّكَ, (explained above, and so in the three exs. below,) and لَا تَفْعَلُ, thou wilt not do it:] and, as AHei says, there is here a nice point, which is this; that the noun [meaning the pronoun] to which جدّ is prefixed should agree in person with the verb which follows it; so that one should say, اجدِّى لَا أُكْرِمُكَ, and اجدّكَ لَا تَفْعَلُ, and اجدّهُ لَا يَزُورُنَا; because جدّ is an inf. n. corroborating the proposition that follows it. (MF.) b2: Also, [and in this case, likewise, accord. to some an inf. n., but accord. to others a simple subst., (see, again, جَدَّ,)] A striving, labour, or toil; exertion of one's self, or of one's power or efforts or endeavours or ability; vigorousness, strenuousness, laboriousness, diligence, studiousness, sedulousness, earnestness, or energy; painstaking, or extraordinary painstaking; (S, L, Msb, K;) in affairs, (S,) or in an affair. (Msb, K.) Hence, جِدًّا [meaning In a great, or an extraordinary, degree; greatly, much, exceedingly, or extraordinarily; very; very greatly, or very much; extremely]; as in the phrase, (Msb,) فُلَانٌ مُحْسِنٌ جِدًّا [Such a one is beneficent in a great, or an extraordinary, degree; very, exceedingly, or extremely, beneficent]: you should not say جَدًّا. (S, Msb. * [In my copy of the Msb, it is محسن جدّا بالفتح: but the context shows that there is an omission here, and that, after جدّا, we should read, as in the S, وَلَا تَقُلْ جَدًّا.]) جِدًّا [in a phrase of this kind] is put in the accus. case as an inf. n. [of which the verb is understood; so that, in the ex. given above, the proper meaning is, يَجِدُّ فِى الإِحْسَانِ جِدًّا striving in beneficence with a great striving]; because it is not from the same root as the preceding word, nor is it identical with it [in meaning]. (L.) You say also, فِى هٰذَا خَطَرٌ جِدَّ عَظِيمٍ, meaning عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا [(assumed tropical:) In this is a very, or an extremely, great danger, or risk]. (S.) And هٰذا العَالِمُ جِدَّ العَالِمِ This is the learned man, the extremely [or the very] learned man. (L.) And هٰذَا عَالِمٌ جِدَّ عَالِمٍ This is a learned man, an extremely [or a very] learned man. (L, * K.) b3: Also (tropical:) Haste. (S, L, K, TA.) So in the phrase فُلَانٌ عَلَى جِدِّ أَمْرٍ (tropical:) Such a one is in haste in an affair. (S, L, TA.) A2: Also Executed seriously, or in earnest, [in which there is no jesting,] and excessive; syn. مُحَقَّقٌ مُبَالَغٌ فِيهِ [meaning مُحَقَّقٌ فِيهِ وَمُبَالَغٌ فِيهِ; (see جَدَّ فِى أَمْرِــهِ;) جِدٌّ thus used as an epithet having an intensive signification because it is originally an inf. n., or as some say, a simple subst.]: (L, K:) applied in this sense to a punishment: (L:) and also applied to a pace. (K in art. نص.) A3: See also جُدَّةٌ: b2: and see جَدِيدٌ.

جَدَّةٌ: see جَدٌّ, near the end of the paragraph.

جُدَّةٌ The bank, or side, or a river; as also جِدَّةٌ and ↓ جِدٌّ (IAth, L, K) and ↓ جُدٌّ (IAth, Mgh, L) and ↓ جَدٌّ, (Mgh, L, K,) accord. to some, but correctly جُدٌّ; so called because cut off from the river, or because cut by the water, in like manner as it is called سَاحِلٌ because it is abraded by the water: (Mgh:) or the part of a river that is near the land; as also ↓ جِدَّةٌ: (L:) and the shore of the sea: (MF:) accord. to As, جدّة is an arabicized word from the Nabathean كدّ. (L.) b2: The stripe, or streak, that is on the back of the ass, differing from his general colour. (S, A, * K.) And (tropical:) A streak (Fr, S, K, TA) in anything, (TA,) as in a mountain, (Fr, S,) differing in colour from the rest of the mountain, (S,) white and black and red; (Fr, TA;) as also in the sky: (A, TA:) pl. جُدَدٌ, (Fr, S,) occurring in the Kur xxxv. 25; (S;) where some read جُدُدٌ, pl. of ↓ جديدة [app. جَدِيدَةٌ], which is syn. with جُدَّةٌ; and some, جَدَدٌ [q. v.]. (Bd.) b3: A sign, or mark, syn. عَلَامَةٌ, (Th, K,) of, or in, anything. (Th, TA.) b4: A beaten way, marked with lines [cut by the feet of the men and beasts that have travelled along it]: (Az, L:) or a road, or way: pl. جُدَدٌ: (Msb:) and جُدُودٌ, also, [app. another pl. of جُدَّةٌ,] signifies paths, or tracks, forming lines upon the ground. (Az, L.) See also جَادَّةٌ. b5: [Hence, app., but accord. to the S from the same word as signifying “a streak,”] رَكِبَ جُدَّةً مِنَ الــأَمْرِ, (S, A, TA,) or جُدَّةَ الــأَمْرِ, (K,) (tropical:) He set upon a way, or manner, of performing the affair: (A:) or he formed an opinion respecting the affair, or case. (Zj, S, A, K.) b6: See also جِدَّةٌ.

جِدَّةٌ: see جُدَّةٌ, in two places: b2: and see جَدِيدٌ. b3: Also A rag; or piece torn off from a garment; and so ↓ جُدَّةٌ: thus in the saying, مَا عَلَيْهِ جِدَّةٌ and جُدَّةٌ [There is not upon him a rag]. (K.) b4: A collar upon the neck of a dog: (Th, L, K:) pl. جُدَدٌ [like لُحًى pl. of لِحْيَةٌ, or perhaps a mistake for جِدَدٌ]. (L.) جَدَدٌ Hard ground: (S:) or hard level ground: (Har p. 522:) [see also جَدْجَدٌ:] or rough level ground: (K:) or rough ground: or level ground: (TA:) or a level and spacious tract of land; a tract such as is called صَحْرَآء, and such as is called فَضَآء, containing no soft place in which the feet sink, nor any mountain, nor any [hill such as is called] أَكَمَة; sometimes wide, and sometimes of little width: (ISh:) [and] a conspicuous road: (Bd in xxxv. 25:) pl. أَجْدَادٌ. (ISh.) It is said in a prov., مَنْ سَلَكَ الجَدَدَ أَمِنَ العِثَارَ [He who walks along hard, or hard and level, ground is secure from stumbling]; (S, TA;) meaning, he who pursues the course marked out by common consent is secure from stumbling. (TA.) and مَكَانٌ جَدَدٌ occurs in a trad., meaning Level ground. (TA.) b2: See also جَدِيدٌ. b3: Also Sand that is thin, or fine, (K, TA,) and sloping down. (TA.) b4: And A thing resembling a سِلْعَة [or ganglion] in the neck of a camel. (K.) جَدَادٌ and ↓ جِدَادٌ The cutting off of the fruit of palm-trees. (S, * A, * L, Msb, * K. *) You say, هٰذَا زَمَنُ الجَدَادِ and الجِدَادِ [This is the time, or season, of the cutting off of the fruit of the palmtrees]. (S, A, Msb. *) Some say that جداد signifies particularly [as above,] the cutting off [of the fruit] of palm-trees; and جذاذ, the cutting off of all fruits, in a general sense: others say that they signify the same. (TA.) b2: Also The time, or season, of the cutting off of the fruit of palm-trees. (S, * L.) You say جَدَادٌ and جِدَادٌ, like صَرَامٌ and صِرَامٌ, and قَطَافٌ and قِطَافٌ; (Ks, S;) whence it seems as though the measures فَعَالٌ and فِعَالٌ were uniformly applicable to every noun signifying the time of the action; such nouns being likened to أَوَانٌ and إِوَانٌ. (S.) جِدَادٌ: see جَدَادٌ, and جَادٌّ.

جَدُودٌ, (ISk, S, A, K,) or جَدُودَةٌ, (L,) Having little milk, (ISk, S,) or not from any imperfection; (L;) applied to a ewe, (ISk, S, K,) but not to a she-goat; the epithet مَصُورٌ being used in the latter case: (ISk, S:) or a ewe or she-goat having no milk; as also ↓ جَدَّآءُ: (A:) pl. جَدَائِدُ (S, L) and جِدَادٌ. (L.) b2: Also A fat she-ass: pl. جِدَادٌ. (Az, K.) جَدِيدٌ, of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, [i. e. ↓ مَجْدُودٌ,] Cut, or cut off. (S, Msb.) A poet says, أَبِى حُبِّى سُلَيْمَى أَنْ يَبِيدَا وَأَمْسَى حَبْلُهَا خَلَقًا جَدِيدَا [My love of Suleymà hath refused to perish; but her cord (i. e. her tie of affection to me) hath become worn out and cut]: (S:) [as جديد signifies “new” more commonly than "cut,"] this verse appears as though it involved a contradiction. (MF.) b2: Applied to a garment, or a piece of cloth [sufficient for a garment or the like], Newly cut off [from the web] by the weaver: (S, K:) and so (without ة, S) applied to a مِلْحَفَة; (S, A;) thus applied to a fem. n. because syn. with ↓ مَجْدُودَةٌ; (S, ISd;) or, accord. to Sb, because by ملحفة in this case is meant إِزَار, and for a like reason in like cases; (Ham p. 555;) but one also says جَدِيدَةٌ; (ISd;) and accord. to some, جديد is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure فَاعِلٌ, and therefore the ة is regularly affixed to it: (Ham ubi suprà:) the pl. is جُدُدٌ (Mbr, Th, S, A, K) and جُدَدٌ; (Az, A'Obeyd, Mbr;) but the former is the more common. (TA.) b3: and hence, (L,) applied to a garment, (L, TA,) or a thing, (S, Msb,) New; contr. of قَدِيمٌ, (Msb,) or contr. of خَلَقٌ; (S, L;) from جِدَّةٌ as contr. of بِلًى: (K:) pl. [of pauc.] أَجِدَّةٌ and [of mult.] جُدُدٌ and جُدَدٌ. (L.) You say, أَصْبَحَتْ خَلَقُهُمْ جُدُدًا, a phrase mentioned by Lh, meaning خُلْقَانُهُمْ جُدُدًا [i. e. Their old worn-out garments became replaced by new]: or جُدُدًا may be here put for جَدِيدًا. (L.) b4: And hence, (TA,) الجَدِيدَانِ and ↓ الأَجَدَّانِ The night and the day; (S, Msb, K;) because they never become impaired by time. (TA.) Yousay, لَا أَفْعَلُهُ مَا اخْتَلَفَ الجَدِيدَانِ and ↓ الأَجَدَّانِ [I will not do it while the day and the night succeed each other]: (S:) or مَا كَرَّ الجَدِيدَانِ and الأَجَدَّانِ [while the day and the night return time after time: i. e., ever]. (A.) b5: Hence likewise, جَدِيدٌ also signifies A thing of which one has had no knowledge. (L.) b6: And hence, (L,) الجَدِيدُ signifies Death: (K:) or is applied as an epithet to death, in the dial. of Hudheyl. (L.) Accord. to Akh and El-Mugháfis El-Báhilee, جَدِيدُ المَوْتِ means The commencement of death. (L.) A2: Also The face, or surface, of the earth, or ground; [as though it were cut;] (S, K, TA;) and so ↓ جَدَدٌ, and ↓ جِدَّةٌ, and ↓ جَدٌّ, (K,) and ↓ جِدٌّ. (TA.) A3: See also جَدٌّ, in two places.

جُدَادَةٌ What is cut off from the roots, or eradicated, of, or from, palm-trees &c. (Lh, TA.) جَدِيدَةٌ The kind of pad, or stuffed thing, (رِفَادَةٌ,) and the felt, stuck, or attached, beneath the two boards of a horse's saddle: there are two such things, called جَدِيدَتَانِ: (S:) or the جديدتان consist of the felt that is stuck, or attached, in the inner side of a horse's and of a camel's saddle: (L:) but جديدة thus applied is a post-classical word: the [classical] Arabs say جَدْيَةٌ, (S,) or, as in J's own handwriting, جَدِيَّةٌ. (So in the margin of a copy of the S.) A2: See also جُدَّةٌ.

جَدِّىٌّ: see جَدٌّ, in two places.

جُدِّىٌّ: see جَدٌّ.

(S.) Accord. to IAar, A certain insect that clings to a skin, or hide, and eats it. (TA.) A2: See also جُدٌّ.

جَادٌّ act. part. n. of جَدَّ; (Mgh, L;) Cutting, or cutting off. (Mgh.) A2: أَجَادُّ أَنْتَ أَمْ هَازِلٌ Art thou serious or jesting? (A.) It is said in a trad., لَا يَأْخُذَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَتَاعَ أَخِيهِ لَاعِبًا جَادًّا [By no means shall any one of you take the property of his brother in play and in earnest]; by which is meant taking a thing without meaning to steal it, but meaning to vex and anger the owner, so that the taker is in play with respect to theft, but in earnest in annoying. (TA in art. لعب.) b2: فُلَانٌ جَادٌّ Such a one is striving, labouring, or toiling; exerting himself or his power or efforts or endeavours or ability; &c. (TA.)
