منذ

مُنْدُ is a simple word; (K;) or, accord. to some, a compound word, as will be explained hereáfter: (TA:) Sb says, that it is with respect to time like مِنْ with respect to place: (S, L:) it is indecl., [generally] with damm for its termination; and مُذْ is indecl. also, [generally] with its final letter quiescent, (S, L, K,) [unless followed by a quiescent letter, when it is movent in different manners which will be shown below,] and it is formed from مُنْذُ by elision: (M, L, K:) منذ is also written and pronounced مِنْذُ, (M, L, K,) in the dial. of the Benoo-Suleym; (M, L;) and مذ, مِذْ, (M, L, K,) in the dial. of the tribe of 'Okl. (M, L.) Each may be a prep., governing what follows it in the gen. case, and used in the same manner as فِى [signifying In, or during, or from the beginning of]: and in this case, each is prefixed only to that which denotes present time: thus you say, مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذُ اللَّيْلَةِ [I have not seen him in this night; or simply I have not seen him this night]: (S, L:) or each is followed by a noun in the gen. case, and in this instance is a prep., in the sense of مِنْ [meaning Since, or lit., from,] when relating to a past time [such as a particular past day or the like]; and in the sense of فِى [meaning In, or from the beginning of,] when relating to the present time; and in the sense of مِنْ and إِلَى

together [meaning From the beginning to the end of; or during the whole course of; or simply during, or for;] when relating to a computed period of time, or number of days or the like: ex. [relating to a past time,] مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُنْذُ يَوْمِ الخَمِيسِ [I have not seen him since Thursday, إِلَى الْآنَ to the present time]; (Mughnee, K;) and [relating to the present time,] مُنْذُ يَوْمِنَا or عَامِنَا [in, or from the beginning of, (this) our day, or (this) our year;]; and, [relating to a computed period of time, or number of days or the like,] مُنْذُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ

[from the beginning to the end of, i. e., during, or for, three days]. (Mughnee.) Each may also be a noun, governing the noun which follows it in the nom. case, as signifying a particular day or the like, or as signifying a definite length of time: in the case of a noun signifying a particular day or the like, you say, مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ يَوْمُ الجُمْعَةِ [I have not seen him (since the commencement of a space of time); the commencement of the space of time thereof (i. e., أَوَّلُ مُدَّةِ عَدَمِ رُؤْيَتِى إِيَّاهُ the commencement of the space of time of my not seeing him) was Friday; meaning, since Friday]: and, in the case of a noun signifying a definite length of time, you say, مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ سَنَةٌ, meaning, أَمَدُ ذٰلِكَ سَنَةٌ, [I have not seen him (during, or for, a time); the time thereof (i. e., أَمَدُ عَدَمِ رُؤْيَتِى إِيَّاهُ the time of my not seeing him) is a year; meaning, during, or for, a year;] and the noun in this latter case can only be indeterminate; for you cannot say, مُذْ سَنَةُ كَذَا: (S:) when followed by a noun in the nom. case, as in the instance of مُنْذُ يَوْمَانِ [or, accord. to more approved usage, مُذْ يَوْمَانِ, as will be shown below, The time is two days, meaning during, or for, two days], each is an inchoative, and what follows it is an enunciative; and its meaning is the time with respect to what is present, and to a computed period, or a number of days or the like; and the commencement of the space of time with respect to a past time [such as a particular past day or the like]: or each is an adv. n. [of time], an enunciative, of which what follows is the inchoative, and meaning بَيْنَ وَبَيْنَ, as in the instance of لَقِيتُهُ مُنْذُ يَوْمَانِ, [or, rather, مُذْ يَوْمَانِ,] i. e., بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ لِقَائِهِ يَوْمَانِ [Two days have been between the time in which I now am and (the time of) my meeting him]: (K:) but this opinion is rejected by Ibn-Hájib. (TA.) Accord. to some of the Arabs, for they differ on this point, مذ governs in the gen. case a noun signifying a past time and one signifying a time not past: and accord. to some of them, منذ governs in the nom. case a noun signifying a past time and one signifying a time not past: (M, L:) but the general and most approved way is to make مذ govern in the gen. case a noun signifying a time not past, and in the nom. case one signifying a time past; and to make منذ govern in the gen. case a noun signifying a time not past and one signifying a time past: (T, M, L:) most of the Arabs hold, that each must govern in the gen. case a noun signifying the present time; and that it is preferable to make منذ govern in the same case, and to make مذ govern in the nom. case, a noun signifying a past time: (Mughnee:) [they therefore say, مُنْذُ اللَّيْلَةِ and مُذُ اللَّيْلَةِ, and مُنْذُ يَوْمِ الخَمِيسِ and مُنْذُ يَوْمَينِ; but they say, مُذْ يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ and مُذْ يَوْمَانِ.] Some [or, rather, most] say, لَمْ أَرَهُ مُذْ يَوْمَانِ, and لَمْ أَرَهُ مُنْذُ يَوْمَينِ, [I have not seen him for, or during, two days;] making مذ [in these instances] to govern the nom. case; and منذ, the gen. case. (L.) Such is said when the period of separation is a day and part of a day. (Msb, art. شهر.) The Benoo-Dabbeh and Er-Rabáb make مذ to govern the gen. case in every instance. (M, L.) The phrases, مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ عَامٌ أَوَّلُ, and مُذْ عَامٌ أَوَّلَ, (S, K, art. وأل; and L,) and مُذْ عَامُ الأَوَّلِ, and مُذْ عَامًا أَوَّلَ, [I have not seen him since last year,] are also mentioned by different authors. (L.) The Arabs generally agree in pronouncing منذ with damm to the ذ when it is followed by a movent or a quiescent letter; (T, M, L;) as in لَمْ أَرَهُ مُنْذُ يَوْمٍ, and مُنْذُ اليَوْمِ: (T, L:) and to pronounce مذ with the ذ quiescent when it is followed by a movent letter, (T, M, L,) and with damm and [sometimes] with kesr when it is followed by a conjunctive ا; (M, L;) as in لَمْ أَرَهُ مُذْ يَوْمَانِ, and لَمْ أَرَهُ مُذُ اليَوْمِ, [and مُذِ اليَوْمِ]: (T, L:) and so say most of the grammarians. (T.) Lh says, The Benoo-'Obeyd, of the tribe of Ghanee, make the ذ of مذ movent when it is followed by a movent or a quiescent letter, and make the noun following it to be in the nom. case, saying مُذُ اليَوْمُ; and some of them pronounce it with kesr when followed by a quiescent letter, saying مُذِ اليَوْمُ; but this is not the proper way. (M, L.) In the phrase مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذُ اليَوْمِ, the Arabs make the ذ movent because of the occurrence [otherwise] of two quiescent letters together; and they [generally] give it not kesr, but damm, because the latter is the final vowel of its original منذ. (M, L.) One says also, مَا لَقِيتُةُ مُنْذَ اليَوْمِ, and مُذَ اليَوْمِ, which fet-h to the ذ in each. (K.) The Benoo-Suleym are related to have used the expression مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مِنْذُ سِتٌّ [by ستّ meaning six nights], with kesr to the م of منذ, and with the noun following it in the nom. case: and the tribe of 'Okl are related to have used the expression مِذُ يَوْمَانِ, with the ن elided, and with kesr to the م, and damm to the ذ. (M, L.) b2: Each of the two words منذ and مذ is also followed by a verbal proposition, as in the instance مَا زَالَ مُذْ عَقَدَتْ يَدَاهُ إِزَازَهُ [He has not ceased, since his two hands tied his wrapper of the lower part of the body]: or a nominal proposition, as in the instance وَلَا زِلْتُ أَبْغِى المَالَ مُذْ أَنَا يَافِعٌ [And I ceased not to seek wealth from the time of my being a youth, or young man]: in such cases, each is an adv. n. prefixed to the proposition [and governing it virtually in the gen. case], or to a noun significant of time [understood as] prefixed thereto [in the same manner]: or, as some say, each is an inchoative. (K.) b3: The original of مذ is منذ, because they restore the dammeh to the ذ in the case of the occurrence of two quiescent letters together; as in the instance of مُذُ اليَوْمِ, for were not its original with damm, they would give it kesr: [but this some do, as has been shown above:] and because its dim. is مُنَيْذٌ: (K:) for when مذ is used as a proper name of a man, its dim. is thus formed, by restoring the ن, that it may be of the measure فُعَيْلٌ: (IJ, M, L:) or when مذ is a noun, it is originally منذ; and when it is a particle, it is itself original. (K.) b4: Accord. to some, منذ (T, S, L, K) and مذ (K) are originally مِنْ and إِذْ, which are made one word, (T, S, L, K,) by eliding the hemzeh, and then giving damm to the ذ because of the occurrence of two quiescent letters together; (K;) مُنْذُ كَانَ [and مُذْ كَانَ] meaning مِنْ إِذْ كَانَ: (T, L:) but there is nothing to indicate the truth of this opinion: (S, L:) or, as some say, منذ and مذ are originally the prep.

من and ذو in the sense of الَّذِى (L, K) in the dial. of Teiyi: so says Fr.; adding, that when either governs a gen. case, it is used in the manner of مَنْ; and when it governs a nom. case, it is as though one said, [in using the expression مُنْذُ أَوْ مُذْ يَوْمَانِ,] مِنَ الَّذِى هُوَ يَوْمَانِ; and that the former government prevails in the case of منذ because the ن is not suppressed: (L:) or, as some say, they are originally مِنْ and the noun of indication ذَا; so that in the phrase مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُنْذُ يَوْمَانِ, [accord. to more approved usage, مُذْ يَوْمَانِ,] we virtually say, مِنْ ذَا الْوَقْتِ يَوْمَانِ: but each of these assertions is a deviation from the plain way. (K.)

اليَمَنُ:
بالتحريك، قال الشرقي: إنما سميت اليمن لتيامنهم إليها، قال ابن عباس: تفرّقت العرب فمن تيامن منهم سمّيت اليمن، ويقال إن الناس كثروا بمكة فلم تحملهم فالتأمت بنو يمن إلى اليمن وهي أيمن الأرض فسميت بذلك، قلت: قولهم تيامن الناس فسمّوا اليمن فيه نظر لأن الكعبة مربعة فلا يمين لها ولا يسار فإذا كانت اليمن عن يمين قوم كانت عن يسار آخرين وكذلك الجهات الأربع إلا أن يريد بذلك من يستقبل الركن اليماني فإنه أجلّها فإذا يصحّ، والله أعلم، وقال الأصمعي: اليمن وما اشتمل عليه حدودها بين عمان إلى نجران ثم يلتوي على بحر العرب إلى عدن إلى الشّحر حتى يجتاز عمان فينقطع من بينونة، وبينونة: بين عمان والبحرين وليست بينونة من اليمن، وقيل: حدّ اليمن من وراء تثليث وما سامتها إلى صنعاء وما قاربها إلى حضرموت والشحر وعمان إلى عدن أبين وما يلي ذلك من التهائم والنجود، واليمن تجمع ذلك كله، والنسبة إليهم يمنيّ ويمان، مخففة، والألف: عوض من ياء النسبة فلا تجتمعان، وقال سيبويه: وبعضهم يقول يمانيّ، بتشديد الياء، قال أمية بن خلف الهذلي:
يمانيّا يظلّ يشدّ كيرا، ... وينفخ دائبا لهب الشّواظ
وقوم يمانية ويمانون مثل ثمانية وثمانون، وامرأة يمانية أيضا، وأيمن الرجل ويمّن ويامن إذا أتى اليمن وكذلك إذا أخذ في مسيره يمينا، قال الحسن بن أحمد ابن يعقوب الهمذاني اليمني: صفة يمن الخضراء، سميت اليمن الخضراء لكثرة أشجارها وثمارها وزروعها والبحر مطيف بها من المشرق إلى الجنوب فراجعا إلى المغرب، يفصل بينها وبين باقي جزيرة العرب خطّ يأخذ من حدود عمان ويبرين إلى حد ما بين اليمن واليمامة فإلى حدود الهجيرة وتثليث وكشبة وجرش ومنحدرا في السراة إلى شعف عنز، وشعف الجبل: أعلاه، إلى تهامة إلى أم جحدم إلى البحر إلى جبل يقال له
كرمل بالقرب من حمضة وذلك حد ما بين كنانة واليمن من بطن تهامة، قلت أنا: هذا الخط من البحر الهندي إلى البحر اليمني عرضا في البريّة من الشرق إلى جهة الغرب، قال: وأما إحاطة البحر باليمن من ناحية دما، قلت أنا: دما من أوائل بلاد عمان من جهة الشمال، قال: فطنوى فالجمحة فرأس الفرتك فأطراف جبال اليحمد فما سقط منها وانقاد إلى ناحية الشحر فالشحر فغبّ الخيس فغب العبب بطن من مهرة فغب القمر بطن من مهرة، بلفظ قمر السماء، فغب الغفار بطن من مهرة فالخيرج فالأشفار، وفي المنتصف من هذا الساحل شرقيّا بين عدن وعمان ويسوف، وقد ذكرت في مواضعها، ثم ينعطف البحر على اليمن مغربا وشمالا من عدن فيمر بساحل لحج وأبين وكثيب برامس وهو رباط وبسواحل بني مجيد من المندب فساحل العميرة فالعارة فإلى غلافقة ساحل زبيد فكمران فالعطية فالجردة إلى منفهق جابر، وهو رأس عزيز كثير الرياح حديدها، إلى الشّرجة ساحل بلد حكم فباحة جازان إلى ساحل عثر فرأس عثر، وهو كثير الموج، إلى ساحل حمضة، فهذا ما يحيط باليمن من البحر، وقال أبو سنان اليماني: في اليمن ثلاثة وثلاثون منبرا قديمة وأربعون حديثة، وأعمال اليمن في الإسلام مقسومة على ثلاثة ولاة، فوال على الجند ومخاليفها وهي أدناها، وقال الأصمعي: أربعة أشياء قد ملأت الدنيا ولا تكون إلا باليمن: الورس والكندر والخطر والعصب، قال: وافتخر إبراهيم بن مخرمة يوما بين يدي السفّاح باليمن وكان خالد بن صفوان حاضرا، فلما أطال عليه قال خالد بن صفوان: وبعد فما منكم إلا دابغ جلد أو ناسج برد أو سائس قرد أو راكب عرد، دلّ عليكم هدهد وغرّقتكم جرذ وملكتكم أمّ ولد! فسكت وكأنما ألجمه، قال واجتمع زياد بن عبيد الله الحارثي خال السفّاح بابن هبيرة الفزاري فقال لزياد:؟ فمن الرجل؟ فقال: من اليمن، فقال: أخبرني عنها، فقال: أما جبالها فكروم وورس وسهولها برّ وشعير وذرة، فتغير وجه ابن هبيرة وقال: أليس أبو اليمن قردا؟ قال: إنما يكنى القرد بولده وهو أبو قيس فيوجب ذلك أن يكون أبا قيس عيلان، وكان ابن هبيرة قيسيّا، قال: فاصفرّ وجهه وعرق جبينه من عظم ما لقيه به، ولليمن أخبار ولبلادها أقاصيص ذكرت في مواضعها من هذا الكتاب، وقد يحنّ بعض الأعراب إلى اليمن فيقول:
وإنى ليُحيينى الصَّبا ويُميتنى ... إذا ما جرت بعد العشيّ جنوب
وأرتاح للبرق اليماني كأنني ... له حين يبدو في السماء نسيب
وأرتاح أن ألقى غريبا صبابة ... إليه كأني للغريب قريب
وقال آخر:
أما من جنوب تذهب الغلّ ظلّة ... يمانية من نحو ليلى ولا ركب
يمانون نستوحيهم عن بلادهم ... على قلص يذمى بأحسنها الجدب
وقال آخر:
خليليّ إني قد أرقت ونمتما ... لبرق يمان فاقعدا علّلانيا
خليليّ لو كنت الصحيح وكنتما ... سقيمين لم أفعل كفعلكما بيا
خليليّ مدّا لي فراشي وارفعا ... وسادي لعلّ النوم يذهب ما بيا
خليليّ طال الليل والتبس القذى ... بعينيّ واستأنست برقا يمانيا

مَنْبِجٌ:
بالفتح ثم السكون، وباء موحدة مكسورة، وجيم: وهو بلد قديم وما أظنه إلا روميّا إلا أن اشتقاقه في العربية يجوز أن يكون من أشياء، يقال:
نبج الرجل ينبج إذا قعد في النّبجة وهي الأكمة، والموضع منبج، ويجوز أن يكون قياسا صحيحا، ويقال: نبج الكلب ينبج، بالجيم، مثل نبح ينبج معنى ووزنا، والموضع منبج، ويجوز أن يكون من النبيج وهو طعام كانت العرب تتخذه في المجاعة يخاض الوبر في اللبن فيجدح ويؤكل، ويجوز أن يكون من النبج وهو الضراط، فأما الأول وهو الأكمة فلا يجوز أن يسمى به لأنه على بسيط من الأرض لا أكمة فيه، فلم يبق إلا الوجوه الثلاثة فليختر مختار منها ما أراد:
فقال: ثكل وغدر أنت بينهما، ... فاختر فما فيهما حظّ لمختار
وذكر بعضهم أن أول من بناها كسرى لمّا غلب على الشام وسماها من به أي أنا أجود فعرّبت فقيل له منبج، والرشيد أول من أفرد العواصم، كما ذكرنا في العواصم، وجعل مدينتها منبج وأسكنها عبد الملك بن صالح بن علي بن عبد الله بن عباس، وقال بطليموس: مدينة منبج طولها إحدى وسبعون درجة وخمس عشرة دقيقة،
طالعها الشولة، بيت حياتها تسع درج من الحوت لها شركة في كف الخضيب وأربعة أجزاء من رأس الغول تحت اثنتي عشرة درجة من السرطان، يقابلها مثلها من الجدي، عاشرها مثلها من الحمل، رابعها مثلها من الميزان، وهي في الإقليم الرابع، قال صاحب الزيج: طولها ثلاث وستون درجة ونصف وربع، وعرضها خمس وثلاثون درجة، وهي مدينة كبيرة واسعة ذات خيرات كثيرة وأرزاق واسعة في فضاء من الأرض، كان عليها سور مبنيّ بالحجارة محكم، بينها وبين الفرات ثلاثة فراسخ، وبينها وبين حلب عشرة فراسخ، وشربهم من قنيّ تسيح على وجه الأرض، وفي دورهم آبار أكثر شربهم منها لأنها عذبة صحيحة، وهي لصاحب حلب في وقتنا ذا، ومنها البحتري وله بها أملاك، وقد خرج منها جماعة من الشعراء، فأما المبرّزون فلا أعرف غير البحتري، وإياها عنى المتنبي بقوله:
قيل بمنبج مثواه ونائله ... في الأفق يسأل عمن غيره سألا
وقال ابن قتيبة في أدب الكتّاب: كساء منبجانيّ ولا يقال أنبجاني لأنه منسوب إلى منبج، وفتحت باؤه في النسب لأنه خرج مخرج منظراني ومخبراني، قال أبو محمد البطليوسي في تفسيره لهذا الكتاب: قد قيل أنبجاني وجاء ذلك في بعض الحديث، وقال:
أنشد أبو العباس المبرّد في الكامل في وصف لحية:
كالأنبجانيّ مصقولا عوارضها، ... سوداء في لين خدّ الغادة الرّود
ولم ينكر ذلك وليس في مجيئه مخالفا للفظ منبج ما يبطل أن يكون منسوبا إليها لأن المنسوب يرد خارجا عن القياس كثيرا كمروزي ودراوردي ورازي ونحو ذلك، قلت: دراوردي هو منسوب إلى درابجرد، وقرأت بخط ابن العطّار: منبج بلدة البحتري وأبي فراس وقبلهما ولد بها عبد الملك بن صالح الهاشمي وكان أجلّ قريش ولسان بني العباس ومن يضرب به المثل في البلاغة، وكان لما دخل الرشيد إلى منبج قال له: هذا البلد منزلك، قال:
يا أمير المؤمنين هو لك ولي بك، قال: كيف بناؤك به؟ فقال: دون بناء بلاد أهلي وفوق منازل غيرهم، قال: كيف صفتها؟ قال: طيبة الهواء قليلة الأدواء، قال: كيف ليلها؟ قال: سحر كله، قال:
صدقت إنها لطيبة، قال: بل طابت بك يا أمير المؤمنين، وأين يذهب بها عين الطيب وهي برّة حمراء وسنبلة صفراء وشجرة خضراء في فياف فيح بين قيصوم وشيح، فقال الرشيد: هذا الكلام والله أحسن من الدّر النظيم، ورأيت في كتاب الفتوح أن أبا عبيدة بعد فتح حلب وأنطاكية قدّم عياضا إلى منبج ثم لحقه صالح أهلها على مثل صلح أنطاكية فأنفذ ذلك، وقال إبراهيم بن المدبّر يتشوّق إلى منبج وكان قد فارقها وله بها جارية يهواها وكان قد ولي الثغور الجزريّة:
وليلة عين المرج زار خياله ... فهيّج لي شوقا وجدّد أحزاني
فأشرفت أعلى الدير أنظر طامحا ... بألمح آماقي وأنظر إنساني
لعلّي أرى أبيات منبج رؤية ... تسكّن من وجدي وتكشف أشجاني
فقصّر طرفي واستهلّ بعبرة، ... وفدّيت من لو كان يدري لفدّاني
ومثّله شوقي إليه مقابلي، ... وناجاه عني بالضمير وناجاني
وينسب إلى منبج جماعة، منهم: عمر بن سعيد بن أحمد بن سنان أبو بكر الطائي المنبجي، سمع بدمشق رحيما والوليد بن عتبة وهشام بن عمار وهشام بن خالد وعبد الله بن إسحاق الأدرمي وغيرهم، سمع منه أبو حاتم محمد بن حبّان البستي وأبو بكر محمد ابن عيسى بن عبد الكريم الطرسوسي وأبو القاسم عبدان بن حميد بن رشيد الطائي المنبجي وأبو العباس عبد الله بن عبد الملك بن الإصبع المنبجي وغيرهم، وقال ابن حبان: إنه صام النهار وقام الليل مرابطا ثمانين سنة فإرساله مقبول، ومن منبج إلى حلب يومان ومنها إلى ملطية أربعة أيام وإلى الفرات يوم واحد.

مَنَاةُ:
لم أقف على أحد يقول في اشتقاقه، وأنا أقول فيه ما يسنح لي فإن وافق الصواب فهو بتوفيق الله وإلا فالمجتهد مصيب، فلعله يكون من المنا وهو القدر وكأنهم أجروه مجرى ما يعقل، قال: ومناه أي قدره:
ولا تقولن لشيء سوف أفعله ... حتى تبيّن ما يمني لك الماني
أي ما يقدّر عليك، فكما نسبوا الفعل إلى القدر نسبوه إليه وكأنهم أجروه مجرى ما يعقل، ويجوز أن يكون من المنا وهو الموت كأنه لما نسب الموت إليه سمّي به، ويجوز أن يكون من مناه الله بحبها أي ابتلاه كأنه أراد أنه المبتلي، ويجوز أن يكون من منوت الرجل ومنيته إذا اختبرته أي أنه الخبير، وألفه يجوز أن تكون منقلبة عن ياء كقولهم مناه يمنيه في قدّره يقدّره، وأن تكون منقلبة عن واو كقولهم في تثنيته منوان: وهذا اسم صنم في جهة البحر مما يلي قديدا بالمشلّل على سبعة أميال من المدينة وكانت الأزد وغسان يهلّلون له ويحجون إليه، وكان أول من نصبه عمرو بن لحيّ الخزاعي، وقال ابن الكلبي: كانت مناة صخرة لهذيل بقديد، وكأن التأنيث إنما جاء من كونه صخرة، وإليه أضيف زيد مناة وعبد مناة، وقال أبو المنذر هشام بن محمد:
كان عمرو بن لحيّ واسم لحيّ ربيعة بن حارثة بن عمرو بن عامر الأزدي وهو أبو خزاعة وهو الذي قاتل جرهم حتى أخرجهم عن حرم مكة واستولى على مكة وأجلى جرهم عنها وتولى حجابة البيت بعدهم، ثم إنه مرض مرضا شديدا فقيل له إن بالبلقاء من أرض الشام حمّة إن أتيتها برأت، فأتاها فاستحمّ بها فبرأ، ووجد أهلها يعبدون الأصنام فقال: ما هذه؟
فقالوا: نستسقي بها المطر ونستنصر بها على العدوّ، فسألهم أن يعطوه منها ففعلوا فقدم بها مكة ونصبها حول الكعبة، فلما صنع عمرو بن لحيّ ذلك دانت العرب للأصنام وعبدوها واتخذوها فكان أقدمها كلها مناة وقد كانت العرب تسمّي عبد مناة، وكان منصوبا على ساحل البحر من ناحية المشلل بقديد بين المدينة ومكة وما قارب ذلك من المواضع يعظمونه ويذبحون له ويهدون له، وكان أولاد معدّ على بقية من دين إسماعيل، وكانت ربيعة ومضر على بقية من دينه،
ولم يكن أحد أشدّ إعظاما له من الأوس والخزرج، قال أبو المنذر: وحدث رجل من قريش عن أبي عبيدة عبد الله بن أبي عبيدة بن عمّار بن ياسر وكان أعلم الناس بالأوس والخزرج قال: كانت الأوس والخزرج ومن يأخذ مأخذهم من عرب أهل يثرب وغيرها فكانوا يحجون ويقفون مع الناس المواقف كلها ولا يحلقون رؤوسهم فإذا نفروا وأتوا مناة وحلقوا رؤوسهم عنده وأقاموا عنده لا يرون لحجهم تماما إلا بذلك، فلإعظام الأوس والخزرج يقول عبد العزّى بن وديعة المزني أو غيره من العرب:
إني حلفت يمين صدق برّة ... بمناة عند محلّ آل الخزرج
وكانت العرب جميعا في الجاهلية يسمون الأوس والخزرج جميعا الخزرج، فلذلك يقول:
بمناة عند محل آل الخزرج
ومناة هذه التي ذكرها الله تعالى في قوله عز وجل:
ومناة الثالثة الأخرى، وكانت لهذيل وخزاعة، وكانت قريش وجميع العرب تعظمها فلم تزل على ذلك حتى خرج رسول الله، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، من المدينة في سنة ثمان للهجرة وهو عام الفتح، فلما سار من المدينة أربع ليال أو خمس ليال بعث علي ابن أبي طالب إليها فهدمها وأخذ ما كان لها وأقبل به إلى رسول الله، وكان من جملة ما أخذه سيفان كان الحارث بن أبي شمر الغساني أهداهما لها أحدهما يسمّى مخذما والآخر رسوبا وهما سيفا الحارث اللذان ذكرهما علقمة بن عبدة في شعره فقال:
مظاهر سربالي حديد عليهما ... عقيلا سيوف مخذم ورسوب
فوهبهما النبي، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، لعلي، رضي الله عنه، فأحدهما يقال له ذو الفقار سيف الإمام علي، ويقال إن عليّا وجد هذين السيفين في الفلس وهو صنم طيء حيث بعثه رسول الله، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، فهدمه، وقد جرى ذكر ذلك في الفلس على وجهه، وقال ابن حبيب: كانت الأنصار وأزد شنوءة وغيرهم من الأزد يعبدون مناة وكان بسيف البحر سدنته الغطاريف من الأزد، قال الحازمي: ومناة أيضا موضع بالحجاز قريب من ودّان.

امن

1 أَمِنَ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـَ (T, Msb, K,) inf. n. أَمْنٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and إِمْنٌ (Zj, M, K) and أَمَنٌ (M, K) and أَمَنَةٌ (T, S, M, K) and إِمْنَةٌ (T) and أَمَانٌ (M, K) [and app. أَمَانَةٌ, for it is said in the S that this is syn. with أَمَانٌ,] and آمنٌ, an instance of an inf. n. of the measure فَاعِلٌ, which is strange, (MF,) or this is a subst. like فَالِجٌ, (M,) He was, or became, or felt, secure, safe, or in a state of security or safety; originally, he was, or became, quiet, or tranquil, in heart, or mind; (Msb;) he was, or became, secure, or free from fear; أَمْنٌ signifying the contr. of خَوْفٌ, (S, M, K,) and so أَمَنَةٌ (S) and آمِنٌ [&c.]: (M, K:) he was, or became, or felt, free from expectation of evil, or of an object of dislike or hatred, in the coming time; originally, he was, or became, easy in mind, and free from fear. (El-Munáwee, TA.) [See أَمْنٌ, below.] You say also, يَإْمَنُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ [He is secure, or safe, or free from fear, for himself]. (M.) And أَمِنَ البَلَدُ, meaning The inhabitants of the country or district, or town, were in a state of security, or confidence, therein. (Msb.) The verb is trans. by itself, and by means of the particle مِنْ; as in أَمَنَ زَيْدٌ الأَسَدَ and أَمِنَ مِنَ الأَسَدِ, meaning Zeyd was, or became, or felt, secure from, safe from, [or free from fear of,] the lion. (Msb.) You say also, أَمِنَ كَذِبَ مَنْ

أَخْبَرَهُ [He was secure from, or free from fear of, the lying of him who informed him]. (M.) And لَا آنَنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذلِكَ [I am not free from fear of its being so; I am not sure but that it may be so]. (Mgh in art. نبذ; and other lexicons passim.) And, of a strong-made she camel, أَمِنَتْ

أَنْ تَكُونَ ضَعَيفَةً [She was secure from, or free from fear of, being weak]: (M: [in a copy of the S أُمِنَتْ:]) and أَمِنَتِ العِثَارَ وَالإَعْيَآءٍ [ She was secure from, or free from fear of, stumbling, and becoming jaded]: (M:) and أُمِنَ عِثَارُهَا [Her stumbling was not feared]. (So in a copy of the S.) And, of a highly-prized camel, أُمِنَ أَنْ يُنْحَرَ [It was not feared that he would be slaughtered; or his being slaughtered was not feared]. (M.) [أَمنَهُ sometimes means He was, or became, free from fear, though having cause for fear, of him, or it. i. e. he thought himself secure, or safe, from him or it. (See Kur vii. 97.)] b2: أمِنَهُ (inf. n. أَمْنٌ TK) [and accord. to some copies of the K ↓ آمَنَهُ] and ↓ أمّنهُ (inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ K) and ↓ ائتمنهُ ([written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَمَنَهُ, and] also written اِتَّمَنَهُ, on the authority of Th, which is extr., like اِتَّهَلَ [&c.], M) and ↓ استأمنهُ all signify the same (M, K, TA) [He trusted, or confided, in him; (as also آمن بِهِ, q. v.;) he intrusted him with, or confided to him, power, authority, control, or a charge; he gave him charge over a thing or person: these meanings are vaguely indicated in the M and K and TA.]. You say, يَأْمَنُهُ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ غَائِلَتَهُ [Men, or people, trust, or confide, in him, and do not fear his malevolence, or mischievousness]. (T, M.) and أَمِنَهُ عَلَى كَذَا (S, Mgh, * Msb *) and ↓ ائتمنهُ عَلَيْهِ, (S, Msb, K,) [He trusted, or confided, in him with respect to such a thing; he intrusted him with, or confided to him, power, authority, control, or a charge, over it; he gave him charge over it;] he made him, or took him as, أَمِين over such a thing. (Mgh.) Hence, in a trad., the مُؤَذِّن is said to be مُؤْتَمَنٌ; i. e. النَّاسُ عَلَ الأَوْقَاتِ الَّتِى يُؤَذَّنُ فِيهَا ↓ يَأْتَمِنُهُ [Men trust, or confide, in him with respect to the times in which he calls to prayer], and know, by his calling to prayer, what they are commanded to do, as to praying and fasting and breaking fast. (Mgh.) It is said in the Kur [xii. 11], مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَنُنَا عَلَى يُوسُفَ and [تَأْمَنَّا] with idghám [i. e. What aileth thee that thou dost not trust, or confide, in us with respect to Joseph? or, that thou dost not give us charge over Joseph?]; (S;) meaning, why dost thou fear us for him? (Bd;) some pronouncing the verb in a manner between those of the former and the latter modes of writing it; but Akh says that the latter is better: (S:) some read تِيمَنَّا. (Bd.) You say also, ↓ اُوتُمِنَ فُلَانٌ [Such a one was trusted, or confided, in &c.;] when it begins a sentence, changing the second ء into و; in like manner as you change it into ى when the first is with kesr, as in اِيتَمَنَهُ; and into ا when the first is with fet-h, as in آمَنَ. (S.) The phrase أَمَانَةً ↓ اُوتُمِنَ, in a saying of Mohammad, if it be not correctly عَلَى أَمَانَةٍ, may be explained as implying the meaning of اُسْتُحْفِظَ أَمَانَةً [He was asked to take care of a deposite; or he was intrusted with it]. (Mgh.) [You also say, أَمِنَهُ بِكَذَا, meaning He intrusted him with such a thing; as, for instance, money or other property: see two exs. in the Kur iii. 68.]

A2: أَمُنَ, (M, Mgh, K,) or أَمِنَ, (Msb,) inf. n. أَمَانَةٌ, (M, Mgh, Msb,) He was, or became, trusted in, or confided in: (M, K:) or he was, or became, trusty, trustworthy, trustful, confidential, or faithful: said of a man. (Mgh.) 2 أمّنهُ, inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ: see 4: b2: and see also أَمِنَهُ.

A2: أمّن, inf. n. as above, also signifies He said آمِينَ or أَمِينَ, (T, S, Msb,) after finishing the Fátihah, (T,) or عَلَي الدُّعَآءِ on the occasion of the prayer, or supplication. (Msb.) 4 آمَنَ is originally أَأْمَنَ; the second ء being softened. (S.) You say, آمنهُ, [inf. n. إِيمَانٌ;] (S, M, Msb;) and ↓ أمّنهُ, [inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ;] (M, TA;) meaning He rendered him secure, or safe; (Msb;) he rendered him secure, or free from fear; (S, M, TA;) contr. of أَخَافهُ: (TA:) so in آمَنْتُهُ مِنْهُ I rendered him secure, or safe, from him, or it. (Msb.) And of God you say, آمَنَ عِبادَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَظْلِمَهُمْ [He hath rendered his servants secure from his wronging them]. (S.) And يُؤْمِنُ عِبَادَهُ مِنْ عَذَابِهِ [ He rendereth his servants secure from his punishment]. (M.) You say also, آمَنْتُ الأَسِيرَ, meaning I gave, or granted, الأَمَان [i. e. security or safety, or protection or safeguard, or the promise or assurance of security or safety, or indemnity, or quarter,] to the captive. (Msb.) And آمَنَ فُلَانٌ الَعَدُوَّ [Such a one granted security, &c., to the enemy], inf. n. as above. (T.) It is said in the Kur ch. ix. [verse 12], accord. to one reading, لَا إِيمَانَ لَهُمْ They have not the attribute of granting protection; meaning that when they grant protection, they do not fulfil their engagement to protect. (T.) A2: إِيمَانٌ also signifies The believing [a thing, or in a thing, and particularly in God]; syn. تَصْدِيقٌ; (T, S, &c.;) by common consent of the lexicologists and other men of science: (T:) its primary meaning is the becoming true to the trust with respect to which God has confided in one, by a firm believing with the heart; not by profession of belief with the tongue only, without the assent of the heart; for he who does not firmly believe with his heart is either a hypocrite or an ignorant person. (T, TA.) Its verb is intrans. and trans. (TA, from a Commentary on the Mutowwal.) You say, آمَنَ, meaning He believed. (T.) and it is said to be trans. by itself, like صَدَّقَ; and by means of بِ, considered as meaning اِعْتِرَافٌ [or acknowledgment]; and by means of لِ, considered as meaning إِذْعَانٌ [or submission]. (TA.) [Thus] you say, [آمنهُ and] آمن بِهِ, (inf. n. إِيمَانٌ, T, K,) namely, a thing. (T, M.) And آمن بِاللّٰهِ He believed in God. (T.) It seems to be meant by what is said in the Ksh [in ii. 2], that آمن بِهِ [or آمَنَهُ] properly signifies آمَنَهُ التَّكْذِيبَ [He rendered him secure from being charged with lying, or falsehood]; and that the meaning he believed him or in him, is tropical; but this is at variance with what its author says in the A; and Es-Saad says that this latter meaning is proper. (TA.) The phrase in the Kur [ix. 61], وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمؤْمِنِينَ, accord. to Th, means And he believeth the believers; giveth credit to them. (M.) b2: Sometimes it is employed to signify The acknowledging with the tongue only; and hence, in the Kur [lxiii. 3], ذلِكَ بأَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا That is because they acknowledged with the tongue, then disacknowledged with the heart. (TA.) b3: Also (assumed tropical:) The trusting, or confiding, or having trust or confidence. (M, K.) [You say, آمن بِهِ, meaning He trusted, or confided, in him, or it: for] the verb of ايمان in this sense is trans. by means of بِ without implication; as Bd says. (TA.) [And it is also trans. by itself: for] you say, مَا آمَنَ أَنْ يَجِدَ صَحَابَةً, meaning (tropical:) He trusted not that he would find companions; (M, * K, * TA;) said of one who has formed the intention of journeying: or the meaning is مَا كَادَ [i. e. he hardly, or scarcely, found &c.; or he was not near to finding &c.]. (M, K.) See also أَمِنَهُ. b4: Also The manifesting humility or submission, and the accepting the Law, (Zj, T, * K,) and that which the Prophet has said or done, and the firm believing thereof with the heart; (Zj, T, M;) without which firm belief, the manifesting of humility or submission, and the accepting that which the Prophet has said or done, is termed إِسْلَامٌ, for which one's blood is to be spared. (T.) [In this sense, it is trans. by means of لِ, accord. to some, as shown above; or by means of بِ, for, accord. to Fei,] you say, آمَنْتُ بِاللّٰهِ, inf. n. as above, meaning I submitted, or resigned, myself to God. (Msb.) [There are numerous other explanations which it is needless to give, differing according to different persuasions. b5: See also إِيمَان below.]8 إِاْتَمَنَ see 1, in five places.10 استأمنهُ He asked, or demanded, of him الأَمَان [i. e. security or safety, or protection or safeguard, or the promise or assurance of security or safety, or indemnity, or quarter]. (T, * Msb, TA.) b2: See also أَمِنَهُ. b3: استأمن إِلَيْهِ He entered within the pale of his أمَان [or protection, or safeguard]. (S, Msb.) أَمْنٌ [an inf. n. of أَمِنِ: as a simple subst. it signifies Security, or safety: (see أَمِنَ:) or] security as meaning freedom from fear; contr. of خَوْفٌ; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ إِمْنٌ (Zj, M, K) and ↓ أَمِنٌ (M, K) and ↓ أَمَنَهُ (S, M, K) [and ↓ إِمْنَةٌ (see أَمِنَ)] and ↓ أَمَانٌ and ↓ آمِنٌ, (M, K,) which last is an inf. n. of أَمِنَ [like the rest], (MF,) or a subst. like فَالِجٌ; (M;) and ↓ أَمَانَةٌ is syn. with أَمَانٌ, (S,) both of these signifying security, or safety, and freedom from fear: (PS:) or أَمْنٌ signifies freedom from expectation of evil, or of an object of dislike or hatred, in the coming time; originally, ease of mind, and freedom from fear. (El-Munáwee, TA.) You say, أَنْتَ فِى أَمْنٍ [Thou art in a state of security], (T, M,) مِنْ ذَاكَ [from that]; and ↓ فى أَمَانٍ signifies the same; (T;) and so ↓ فى آمِنٍ. (M.) And نُعَاسًا ↓ أَمَنَةً, in the Kur [iii. 148], means Security (أَمْنًا) [and slumber]. (S.) ↓ أَمَانٌ also signifies Protection, or safeguard: and [very frequently] a promise, or an assurance, of security or safety; indemnity; or quarter: in Pers\. پَنَاهْ and زِنْهَارٌ: (KL:) syn. إِلُّ. (K in art. ال.) Yousay, ↓ دَخَلَ فِى أَمَانِهِ [He entered within the pale of his protection, or safeguard]. (S, Msb.) [and اللّٰهِ ↓ كُنٌ فِى أَمَانِ Be thou in the protection, or safeguard, of God.] And ↓ أَعْطَيْتُهُ الأَمَانَ [I gave, or granted, to him security or safety, or protection or safeguard, or the promise or assurance of security or safety, or indemnity, or quarter]; namely, a captive. (Msb.) And طَلَبَ

↓ مِنْهُ الأَمَانَ [He asked, or demanded, of him security or safety, or protection or safeguard, &c., as in the next preceding ex.]. (Msb, TA.) b2: أَمْنًا in the Kur ii. 119 means ذَا أَمْن [Possessed of security or safety]: (Aboo-Is-hák, M:) or مَوْضِعَ أَمْنٍ [a place of security or safety; like مَأْمَنًا]. (Bd.) b3: See also آمِنٌ. b4: You say also, مَا أَحْسَنَ أَمْنَكَ, and ↓ أَمَنَكَ, meaning How good is thy religion! and thy natural disposition! (M, K.) إِمْنٌ: see أَمْنٌ.

أَمَنٌ: see أَمْنٌ, first and last sentences.

أَمِنٌ: see آمِنٌ. b2: Also, (K, [there said to be like كَتِفٌ,]) or ↓ آمِنٌ, (M, [so written in a copy of that work,)] Asking, or demanding, or seeking, protection, in order to be secure, or safe, or free from fear, for himself: (M, K:) so says IAar. (M.) إِمْنَةٌ: see أَمْنٌ.

أمَنَةٌ: see أَمْنٌ, in two places: b2: and see also أَمَانَةٌ.

A2: Also A man who trusts, or confides, in every one; (T, S, M;) and so ↓ أُمَنَةٌ: (S:) and who believes in everything that he hears; who disbelieves in nothing: (Lh, T:) or in whom men, or people, trust, or confide, and whose malevolence, or mischievousness, they do not fear: (T, M:) and ↓ أُمَنَةٌ signifies trusted in, or confided in; [like أَمِينٌ;] and by rule should be أُمْنَةٌ, because it has the meaning of a pass. part. n. [like لُعْنَةٌ and ضُحْكَةٌ and لُقْطَلةٌ &c. (see لَقَطٌ)]: (M:) or both signify one in whom every one trusts, or confides, in, or with respect to, everything. (K.) b2: See also أَمِينٌ.

أُمَنَةٌ: see أَمَنَةٌ, in two places.

أَمَانٌ: see أَمْنٌ, in seven places.

أَمُونٌ, applied to a she camel, of the measure فَعُولٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ, like عَصُوبٌ and حَلُوبٌ, (tropical:) Trusted, or confided, in; (T;) firmly, compactly, or strongly, made; (T, S, M, K;) secure from, or free from fear of, being weak: (S, M:) also, that is secure from, or free from fear of, stumbling, and becoming jaded: (M:) or strong, so that her becoming languid is not feared: (A, TA:) pl. أُمُنٌ. (M, K.) [See also what next follows.]

أَمينٌ Trusted; trusted in; confided in; (T, * S, * M, Msb, * K;) as also ↓ أُمَّانٌ; (S, M, K;) i. q. ↓ مَأْمُونٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ مُؤْتَمَنٌ: (ISk, T, K:) [a person in whom one trusts or confides; a confidant; a person intrusted with, or to whom is confided, power, authority, control, or a charge, عَلَى شَىْءٍ over a thing; a person intrusted with an affair, or with affairs, i. e., with the management, or disposal, thereof; a confidential agent, or superintendent; a commissioner; a commissary; a trustee; a depositary;] a guardian: (TA:) trusty; trustworthy; trustful; confidential; faithful: (Mgh, Msb: *) pl. أُمَنَآءُ, and, accord. to some, ↓ أَمَنَةٌ, as in a trad. in which it is said, أَصْحَابِى أَمَنَةٌ لِأُمَّتِى, meaning My companions are guardians to my people: or, accord. to others, this is pl. of ↓ آمِنٌ [app. in a sense mentioned below in this paragraph, so that the meaning in this trad. is my companions are persons who accord trust, or confidence, to my people]. (TA.) Hence, أَلَمْ تَعْلَمِى يَا أَسْمَ وَيْحَكِ أَنَّنِى

حَلَفْتُ يَمِينًا لَا أَخُونُ أَمِينِى

[Knowest thou not, O Asmà (أَسْمَآء, curtailed for the sake of the metre), mercy on thee! or woe to thee! that I have sworn an oath that I will not act treacherously to him in whom I trust?] i. e. ↓ مَأْمُونِى: (S:) or the meaning here is, him who trusts, or confides, in me; (ISk, T;) [i. e.] it is here syn. with ↓ آمِنِى. (M.) [Hence also,] الأَمِينُ فِى القِمَارِ, (K voce مُجُمِدٌ, &c.,) or أَمِينُ, القِمَارِ, [The person who is intrusted, as deputy, with the disposal of the arrows in the game called المَيْسِر; or] he who shuffles the arrows; الَّذِى.

يَضْرِبُ بِالقِدَاحِ. (EM p. 105.) [Hence also,] الرُّوحُ الأَمِينُ [The Trusted, or Trusty, Spirit]; (Kur xxvi. 193;) applied to Gabriel, because he is intrusted with the revelation of God. (Bd.) ↓ أُمَّانٌ, mentioned above, and occurring in a verse of El-Aashà, applied to a merchant, is said by some to mean Possessed of religion and excellence. (M.) ↓ مُؤْتَمَنٌ is applied, in a trad., to the مُؤَذِّن, as meaning that men trust, or confide, in him with respect to the times in which he calls to prayer, and know by his call what they are commanded to do as to praying and fasting and breaking fast. (Mgh.) المُعَامَلَةِ ↓ هُوَ مَأْمُونُ means He is [trusty, or trustworthy, in dealing with others; or] free from exorbitance and deceit or artifice or craft to be feared. (Msb.) b2: An aid, or assistant; syn. عَوْنٌ [here app. meaning, as it often does, an armed attendant, or a guard]; because one trusts in his strength, and is without fear of his being weak. (M.) b3: (assumed tropical:) The strong; syn. قَوِىٌّ. (K, TA: [in the latter of which is given the same reason for this signification as is given in the M for that of عون; for which قوى may be a mistranscription; but see أَمُونٌ.]) b4: One who trusts, or confides, in another; (ISk, T, K;) [as also ↓ آمِنٌ, of which see an ex. voce حَذِرٌ;] so accord. to ISk in the verse cited above in this paragraph: (T:) thus it bears two contr. significations. (K.) b5: See also آمِنٌ, in five places.

A2: And see آمِينَ.

أَمَانَةٌ: see أَمْنٌ, first sentence. b2: Trustiness; trustworthiness; trustfulness; faithfulness; fidelity; (M, Mgh, K;) as also ↓ أَمَنَةٌ. (M, K.) أَمَانَةُ اللّٰهِ [for أَمَانَةُ اللّٰهِ قَسَمِي or مَا أُقْسِمُ The faithfulness of God is my oath or that by which I swear] is composed of an inf. n. prefixed to the agent, and the former is in the nom. case as an inchoative; the phrase being like لَعَمْرُ اللّٰهِ, as meaning an oath; and the enunciative being suppressed, and meant to be understood: accord. to some, you say, أَمَانَةَ اللّٰهِ [app. for نَشَدْتُكَ أَمَانَةَ اللّٰهِ I adjure thee, or conjure thee, by the faithfulness of God, or the like], making it to be governed in the accus. case by the verb which is to be understood: and some correctly say, وَأَمَانَةِ اللّٰهِ [By the faithfulness of God], with the و which denotes an oath: (Mgh:) or this last is an oath accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh; but Esh-Sháfi'ee does not reckon it as such: and it is forbidden in a trad. to swear by الأَمَانَة; app. because it is not one of the names of God. (TA.) [Or these phrases may have been used, in the manner of an oath, agreeably with explanations here following.]

A2: A thing committed to the trust and care of a person; a trust; a deposite; (Mgh, Msb;) and the like: (Msb:) property committed to trust and care: (TA:) pl. أَمَانَاتٌ. (Mgh, Msb.) It is said in the Kur [viii. 27], وَتَخُونُوا أَمَانَاتِكُمْ [Nor be ye unfaithful to the trusts committed to you]. (Mgh.) And in the same [xxxiii. 72], إِنَّا عَرَضْنَاالأَمَانَةَ عَلَى

السّموَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِوَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ [Verily we proposed, or offered, the trust which we have committed to man to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and (accord. to explanations of Bd and others) they refused to take it upon themselves, or to accept it, and they feared it, but man took it upon himself, or accepted it: or, (accord. to another explanation of Bd, also given in the T, and in the K in art. حمل, &c.,) they refused to be unfaithful to it, and they feared it, but man was unfaithful to it: but in explaining what this trust was, authors greatly differ: accord. to some,] الامانة here means obedience; so called because the rendering thereof is incumbent: or the obedience which includes that which is natural and that which depends upon the will: [for] it is said that when God created these [celestial and terrestrial] bodies, He created in them understanding: or it may here [and in some other instances] mean reason, or intellect: [and the faculty of volition: and app. conscience: these being trusts committed to us by God, to be faithfully employed: (see an ex. voce جَذْرٌ:)] and the imposition of a task or duty or of tasks or duties [app. combined with reason or intellect, which is necessary for the performance thereof]: (Bd:) or it here means prayers and other duties for the performance of which there is recompense and for the neglect of which there is punishment: (Jel:) or, accord. to I'Ab and Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr, (T,) the obligatory statutes which God has imposed upon his servants: (T, K: *) or, (T, K,) accord. to Ibn-'Omar, [the choice between] obedience and disobedience was offered to Adam, and he was informed of the recompense of obedience and the punishment of disobedience: but, in my opinion, he says, (T,) it here means the intention which one holds in the heart, (T, K,) with respect to the belief which he professes with the tongue, and with respect to all the obligatory statutes which he externally fulfils; (K;) because God has confided to him power over it, and not manifested it to any [other] of his creatures, so that he who conceives in his mind, with respect to the acknowledgment of the unity of God, (T, K,) and with respect to belief [in general], (T,) the like of that which he professes, he fulfils the امانة [or trust], (T, K,) and he who conceives in his mind disbelief while he professes belief with the tongue is unfaithful thereto, and every one who is unfaithful to that which is confided to him is [termed] حَامِلٌ, (T,) or حَامِلُ الأَمَانَةِ, and مُحْتَمِلُهَا: (Bd:) and by الإِنْسَانُ is here meant the doubting disbeliever. (T.) b2: Also, [as being a trust committed to him by God, A man's] family, or household; syn. أَهْلٌ. (TA.) أُمَّانٌ: see أَمينٌ, in two places.

A2: Also One who does not write; as though he were (كَأَنَّهُ [in the CK لاَنَّهُ because he is]) an أُمِّى. (K, TA.) [But this belongs to art. ام; being of the measure فُعْلَانٌ, like عُرْيَانٌ.] b2: And A sower, or cultivator of land; [perhaps meaning a clown, or boor;] syn. زَرَّاعٌ: (CK:) or sowers, or cultivators of land; syn. زُرَّاعٌ: (K, TA:) in one copy of the K زِرَاع. (TA.) آمِنٌ Secure, safe, or free from fear; as also ↓ أَمِينٌ (Lh, T, * S, * M, Msb, K) and ↓ أَمِنٌ. (M, K.) Hence, in the Kur [xcv. 3], ↓ وَهذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ [And this secure town]; (Akh, Lh, T, S, M;) meaning Mekkeh. (M.) بَلَدٌ آمِنٌ and ↓ أَمِينٌ means A town, or country, or district, of which the inhabitants are in a state of security, or confidence, therein. (Msb.) It is also said in the Kur [xliv. 51], ↓ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ, meaning [Verily the pious shall be in an abode] wherein they shall be secure from the accidents, or casualties, of fortune. (M.) [And hence,] ↓ الأَمِينُ is one of the epithets applied to God, (Mgh, K,) on the authority of El-Hasan; (Mgh;) an assertion requiring consideration: it may mean He who is secure with respect to the accidents, or casualties, of fortune: but see المُؤْمِنُ, which is [well known as] an epithet applied to God. (TA.) آمِنُ المَالِ means What is secure from being slaughtered, of the camels, because of its being highly prized; by المال being meant الإِبِل: or, as some say, (tropical:) what is highly esteemed, of property of any kind; as though, if it had intellect, it would feel secure from being exchanged. (M.) You say, أَعْطَيْتُهُ مِنْ آمِنِ مَالِي, (K, TA, [in the CK آمَنِ,]) meaning (tropical:) I gave him of the choice, or best, of my property; of what was highly esteemed thereof; (K, TA;) and مَالِى ↓ مِنْ أَمْنِ which Az explains as meaning of the choice, or best, of my property. (TA: [in which is given a verse cited by ISk showing that أَمْن, thus used, is not a mistranscription for آمِن.]) And آمِنُ الحِلْمِ means Steadfast in forbearance or clemency; of whose becoming disordered in temper, and free from self-restraint, there is no fear. (M.) b2: See also أَمِينٌ, in three places: b3: and see اَمِنٌ.

A2: See also أَمِينٌ, in two places.

آمِينَ [in the CK, erroneously, آمِينُ] and ↓ أَمِينَ; (Th, T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K;) both chaste and well known, (TA,) the latter of the dial. of El-Hijáz, (Msb, TA,) as some say, (TA,) [and this, though the less common, is the original form, for] the medd in the former is only to give fulness of sound to the fet-hah of the أ, (Th, M, Msb, TA,) as is shown by the fact that there is no word in the Arabic language of the measure فَاعِيلٌ; (Msb, TA;) and some pronounce the former آمِّينَ, (K,) which is said by some of the learned to be a dial. var., (Msb,) but this is a mistake, (S, Msb,) accord. to authorities of good repute, and is one of old date, originating from an assertion of Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà, [i. e. Th,] that آمِينَ is like عَاصِينَ, by which he was falsely supposed to mean its having the form of a pl., [and being consequently آمِّينَ,] (Msb, [and part of this is said in the M,]) whereas he thereby only meant that the م is without teshdeed, like the ص in عَاصِينَ; (M;) beside that the sense of قَاصِدِينَ [which is that of آمِّينَ, from أَمَّ,] would be inconsistent after the last phrase of the first chapter of the Kur [where آمينَ is usually added]; (Msb;) and sometimes it is pronounced with imáleh, [i. e. “émeena,”] as is said by ElWáhidee in the Beseet; (K;) but this is unknown in works on lexicology, and is said to be a mispronunciation of some of the Arabs of the desert of El-Yemen: (MF:) each form is indecl., (S,) with fet-h for its termination, like أَيْنَ and كَيْفَ, to prevent the occurrence of two quiescent letters together: (T, S, TA:) it is a word used immediately after a prayer, or supplication: (S, * M:) [it is best expressed, when occurring in a translation, by the familiar Hebrew equivalent Amen:] El-Fárisee says that it is a compound of a verb and a noun; (M;) meaning answer Thou me; [i. e. answer Thou my prayer;] (M, Mgh;*) or O God, answer Thou: (Zj, T, Msb, K:) or so be it: (AHát, S, Msb, K:) or so do Thou, (K, TA,) O Lord: (TA:) it is strangely asserted by some of the learned, that, after the Fátihah, [or Opening Chapter of the Kur-án,] it is a prayer which implies all that is prayed for in detail in the Fátihah: so in the Towsheeh: (MF:) or it is one of the names of God: (M, Msb, K:) so says El-Hasan (M, Msb) El-Basree: (Msb:) but the assertion that it is for يَا اَللّٰهُ [O God], and that اسْتَجِبٌ [answer Thou] is meant to be understood, is not correct accord. to the lexicologists; for, were it so, it would be with refa, not nasb. (T.) إِيمَانٌ [inf. n. of 4, q. v. b2: Used as a simple subst., Belief; particularly in God, and in his word and apostles &c.: faith: trust, or confidence: &c.] b3: Sometimes it means Prayer; syn. صَلَاةٌ: as in the Kur [ii. 138], where it is said, وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيَمانَكُمْ, (Bd, Jel, TA,) i. e. [God will not make to be lost] your prayer towards Jerusalem, (Bd, * Jel,) as some explain it. (Bd.) b4: Sometimes, also, it is used as meaning The law brought by the Prophet. (Er-Rághib, TA.) مَأْمَنٌ A place of security or safety or freedom from fear; or where one feels secure. (M, TA.) مُؤْمَنٌ pass. part. n. of آمَنَهُ. (T.) It is said in the Kur [iv. 96], accord. to one reading, (T, M,) that of Aboo-Jaafar El-Medenee, (T,) لَسْتَ مُؤْمَنًا [Thou art not granted security, or safety, &c.; or] we will not grant thee security, &c. (T, M.) مُؤْمِنٌ [act. part. n. of 4; Rendering secure, &c.]. المُؤْمِنُ is an epithet applied to God; meaning He who rendereth mankind secure from his wronging them: (T, S:) or He who rendereth his servants secure from his punishment: (M, IAth:) i. q. المُهَيْمِنُ, (M,) which is originally المُؤَأْمِنُ; [for the form مُفْعِلٌ is originally مُؤَفْعِلٌ;] the second ء being softened, and changed into ى, and the first being changed into ه: (S:) or the Believer of his servants (Th, M, TA) the Muslims, on the day of resurrection, when the nations shall be interrogated respecting the messages of their apostles: (TA:) or He who will faithfully perform to his servants what He hath promised them: (T, TA:) or He who hath declared in his word the truth of his unity. (T.) b2: [Also Believing, or a believer; particularly in God, and in his word and apostles &c.: faithful: trusting, or confiding: &c.: see 4.]

مَأْمُونٌ: see أَمِينٌ, in three places. b2: مَأْمُونَةٌ A woman whose like is sought after and eagerly retained because of her valuable qualities. (M.) مَأْمُونِيَّةٌ A certain kind of food; so called in relation to El-Ma-moon. (TA.) مُؤْتَمَنٌ: see أَمِينٌ, in two places.

(S.) مُنْدَمِنٌ: see دِمْنَةٌ, last sentence. (دمو or دمى) 1 دَمِىَ, (T, S, M, MA, Msb, K,) [held by some to be originally دَمِوَ,] like رَضِىَ, (S, K,) which is from الرِّضْوَانُ, being thus [with ى] because of the kesreh, (S,) [but most hold the last radical to be ى,] and دَمَى, (TA as from the Msb, [but not in my copy of the latter work,]) aor. ـْ inf. n. دَمًا or دَمًى (T, S, M, MA, Msb, K) and دُمِىٌّ, (S, MA, [but in the Msb it seems to be indicated that it is دَمَىٌ,]) said of a thing, (S,) or of a wound, (Msb,) and دَمِيَتْ said of the arm or hand, (T,) It bled; blood issued from it: (Msb:) [and] it was, or became, bloody; i. e., smeared, or defiled, with blood. (MA.) 2 دَمَّيْتُهُ, (S, M, K,) inf. n. تَدْمِيَةٌ, (S,) i. q. ↓ أَدْمَيْتُهُ, (S, M, K,) i. e. [I made him to bleed;] I struck him, or smote him, so that blood issued from him: (S:) [and I made him bloody; for]

دَمَّاهُ signifies [also] he smeared him, or defiled him, or made him to be smeared or defiled, with blood. (MA.) Hence the prov., وُلْدُكِ مَنْ دَمَّى

عَقَبَيْكِ, (M, TA,) Thy son is he who made thy two heels to be smeared with blood; (TA in art. ولد;) i. e., whom thou thyself broughtest forth; (K and TA in that art.;) he is thy son really; not he whom thou hast taken from another, and adopted. (TA in that art.) b2: دمّى المَاشِيَةَ (assumed tropical:) It (pasture, or herbage,) fattened the cattle so as to make them like what are termed دُمًى [pl. of دُمْيَةٌ]. (M.) b3: دَمَّيْتُ لَهُ, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) I made a way easy to him. (K, TA.) b4: (assumed tropical:) I made, or brought, [a thing] near to him. (K.) You say, دَمَّى لَهُ فِى كَذَا وَ كَذَا (assumed tropical:) He made, or brought, near to him [some object of desire in such and such cases]. (Th, M.) b5: (assumed tropical:) I appeared to him. (K.)

(M in that art.) b2: استدمى مَوَدَّتَهُ He looked, or watched, or waited, for his love, or affection: [formed by transposition] from اِسْتَدَامَ. (M in art. دوم.) دَمٌ [Blood;] one of the [four] أَخْلَاط [or humours], (M,) well known: (T, M, K:) accord. to some, (Msb,) it is originally دَمَوٌ: (S, Msb:) or it is originally دَمًى; (Zj, Mbr, S, M, Msb, K;) thus in the correct copies of the K; (TA; [in some copies دَمْىٌ, and in the CK دَمَىٌ;]) though deviating from other words of the same form in respect of its pl. [which see below]; (Mbr, S;) as is shown by its dual, (Zj, M,) which is دَمَيَانِ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) whereby [also] the letter gone from it is shown to be ى; (Mbr, S;) but it has also for its dual دَمَانِ; (T, M, Msb, K;) and some of the Arabs say دَمَوَانِ; (S, M;) in which last, however, [accord. to ISd,] the و is substituted for ى, though generally و is changed into ى: (M:) and this original form is used by a poet, [namely, Hoseyn Ibn-El-Homám, accord. to one of my copies of the S,] in his saying, فَلَسْنَا عَلَى الأَعْقَابِ تَدْمَى كُلُومُنَا

↓ وَلٰكِنْ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا يَقْطُرُ الدَّمَى

[And we have not our wounds bleeding upon the heels; but upon our feet the blood drops]: (S:) or it is originally دَمْىٌ; (Sb, T, S, M, Msb;) as is shown by its pls., (Sb, S,) which are دِمَآءُ (Sb, T, S, M, K) and دُمِىٌّ, (Sb, S, M, K,) also pronounced دِمِىٌّ; (TA;) like as ظَبْىٌ and دَلْوٌ have for their pls. ظِبَآءُ and ظُبِىٌّ and دِلَآءٌ and دُلِىٌّ; for if it were like قَفًا and عَصًا, it would not have such pls. (Sb, S.) دَمٌّ is ignored by Ks; but is used by poetic license; (M;) or it is a dial. var. of دَمٌ. (K in art. دم.) ↓ دَمَةٌ has a more special signification than دَمٌ, the two words being like بَيَاضَةٌ and بَيَاضٌ; (S;) [i. e.] it signifies A portion of blood: (T, M, K:) or it is a dial. var. of دَمٌ, (M, K,) accord. to IJ. (M.) The dim. of دَمٌ is ↓ دُمَىٌّ. (S.) [Hence,] رَجُلٌ ذُو دَمٍ A man seeking to obtain, or prosecuting for, [the revenge of] blood. (TA.) دَمُ فُلَانٍ فِى ثَوْبِ فُلَانٍ is a saying of the Arabs, meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is the slayer of such a one. (Ham p. 632.) الدَّمُ الدَّمُ وَالهَدْمُ الهَدْمُ, or وَالهَدَمَ الهَدَمَ, is a saying of the Arabs, meaning If thy blood be sought, my blood shall be sought; and if thy blood go for nought, my blood shall go for nought: or, accord. to the latter reading, as is said in the Nh, and where thou shalt be buried, I will be buried: or thine abode shall be mine abode.

الدَّمَى, said to be the original form of الدَّمُ: see دَمٌ.

دَمٍ Bleeding; having blood issuing from it: (S, * Msb:) [and] bloody; i. e. smeared, or defiled, with blood: and ↓ دَامٍ signifies the same [in both senses]. (MA.) دُمْيَةٌ An image, or effigy, (S, M, Mgh, K,) of ivory and the like, (S,) or of marble, (M, K,) variegated, decorated, embellished, or coloured, (M, Mgh, K,) in which is redness like blood: (Mgh:) or an image, or effigy, in a general sense: (Kr, M, K:) accord. to Abu-I-'Alà, because originally painted with red, as though from الدَّمُ: and any beautiful female is likened thereto, because adorned: (TA:) metonymically applied to (tropical:) a woman: (IAar, T:) or anything that is deemed beautiful in respect of whiteness: (TA:) and an idol: (Lth, S, K:) said in the R to be so called because of the shedding of blood at the place thereof for the purpose of propitiation; but MF says that this derivation requires consideration: more probably because it is decorated: (TA:) pl. دُمًى. (S, Mgh, K.) Accord. to MF, it is also pronounced ↓ دِمْيَةٌ. (TA.) One says, أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الدُّمْيَةِ, meaning More beautiful than the image of ivory. (Har p. 611.) And لَاوَ الدُّمَى is an oath of the Pagan Arabs, meaning No, by the idols: or, as some relate, it is ↓ لَا وَ الدِّمَآءِ meaning No, by the blood of what is sacrificed upon the stones set up to be worshipped: so in the Nh.

دُمَىٌّ dim. of دَمٌ, q. v. (S.) دَمَوِىٌّ: see دَمِىٌّ.

الدَّمَوِيَّةُ, meaning Hectic fever (حُمَّى الدِّقِّ) is a vulgar word of the dial. of Egypt. (TA.) دَامٍ: see دَمٍ.

مُدَمًّى Red; applied to a garment, or piece of cloth: (M:) or anything in the colour of which is blackness and redness: (T:) [of a dark red colour, like blood:] or anything intensely red: (S:) applied in this last sense [particularly] to a horse &c.: (S, K:) or, applied to a horse, of a sorrel colour (أَشْقَرُ) intensely red, like the colour of blood: (T:) or, so applied, of an intense sorrel colour: (M:) and كُمَيْتٌ مُدَمًّى of an intensely red bay colour: (S, TA:) or of an intense red colour like that of blood: (TA:) or intensely red in the back [and] as far as the thin and soft parts of the belly: and أَشْقَرُ مُدَمًّى of which the sorrel colour is overspread, in its upper portion, with a yellowness like the colour of the yellow [or gilded] bay: (A 'Obeyd, T:) and لَوْنٌ مُدَمًّى a colour in which is blackness. (M.) سَهْمٌ مُدَمًّى

An arrow upon which is the redness of blood (S, K) that has adhered to it so that it inclines to blackness: a man, when he shot at the enemy with an arrow, and hit, and the enemy then shot it at him with blood upon it, used to put it in his quiver, auguring good from it: or, as some say, it means an arrow which the archers shoot by turns, one at another; an explanation reducible to that before mentioned: (S:) or an arrow which one shoots at his enemy and the latter then shoots at the former: (M:) or an arrow shot once.
