1 خَصَّهُ بِالشَّىْءِ, (S, K,) or بِكَذَا, (A, Msb,) aor. ـُ (Msb, TA,) inf. n. خَصٌّ (K) and خُصُوصٌ (S, Msb, K) and خَصُوصٌ (TA) and خَصُوصِيَّةٌ and خُصُوصِيَّةٌ, (S, Mgh, * Msb, K,) of which last two the former is the more chaste, (S, TA,) and is the form mentioned in the Fs and its Exposi tions, and the ى in it is said to be the relative ى, and the ى which is characteristic of an inf. n., whereas in the latter it is said to be a characteristic of intensiveness, but MF thinks that this requires consideration, because the ى is also said to be, and by some more commonly, without teshdeed, as in كَرَاهِيَةٌ and عَلَانِيَةٌ, (TA,) and خِصِّيصَى, (S, K,) like مِكِّيثَى, which is said to be the only other instance of this measure, (TA,) [but some others might be added, as دِلِّيلَى and فِخِّيرَى and قِتِّيتَى,] and خِصِّيصَآءُ, (IAar, Kr, K,) [like مِكِّيثَآءُ,] the former of which last two [each of which has an intensive signification] is the chaste, and com monly known, form, (TA,) and خُصِّيَّةٌ, or خِصِّيَّةٌ, or خَصِيَّةٌ, (accord. to different copies of the K,) written by Sgh with damm, (TA,) and تَخِصَّةٌ, (Ibn-' Abbád, K,) or, as some say, خَصُوصِيَّةٌ and خِصِّيَّةٌ [or خُصِّيَّةٌ or خَصِّيَّةٌ] are each a quasi-inf. n., as also خَاصَّةٌ, (TA,) He distinguished him particularly, peculiarly, or specially, i. e., above, or from, or exclusively of, others, by the thing, or by such a thing; he particularized him, or particularly or peculiarly or specially characterized him, thereby; syn. فَضَّلَهُ (A, K, TA) دُونَ غَيْرِهِ, and مَيَّزَهُ; (TA;) he appropriated, or assigned, [the thing or] such a thing, or made it to belong, to him alone, or in particular, or peculiarly, or specially, exclusively of others; (Msb;) and بِهِ ↓ اختصّهُ signifies the same; (S, A, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اخصّهُ, (A, [but for this I know not any other authority,]) and ↓ خصّصهُ; (A;) or this last has an intensive signification. (Msb.) You say, خَصَّهُ بِالُودِّ He distinguished him &c. by love, or affection; or favoured him in preference to another, or others, thereby. (K, TA.) As to the saying of Az, إِنِ امْرَأٌ خَصَّنِى عَمْدًا مَوَدَّتَهُ عَلَى التَّنَانِى لَعِنْدِى غَيْرُ مَكْفُورِ [If a man distinguish me above, or from, or exclusively of, others, purposely, by his love, or because of his love of me, notwithstanding distance of each from the other, it will not be disacknowledged with me,] the meaning is, خَصَّنِى بِمَوَدَّتِهِ; or it may be خَصَّنِى لِمَوَدَّتِهِ إِيَّاىَ [in the TA بِمَوَدَّتِهِ, which is evidently a mistranscription]; for, says ISd, we have not heard خَصَّهُ [or rather خَصَّ] doubly transitive. (TA.) And [hence]

خَصَّهُ بِكَذَا also signifies He gave him such a thing in large quantity, or abundantly. (TA.) [You say also, خَصَّهُ بِالذِّكْرِ He distinguished, &c., or singled out, him, or it, by mention: or he particularized, peculiarized, or specified, him, or it, thereby; he particularly, peculiarly, or specially, mentioned him, or it. And خَصَّهُ, alone, He pointed particularly, or peculiarly, to him, or it, in what he said; or he meant particularly, or peculiarly, him, or it. And خَصَّ مِنْهُ كَذَا He distinguished, particularized, peculiarized, or specified, thereof such a thing: and he distinguished therefrom such a thing; he particularly, peculiarly, or specially, excepted therefrom such a thing.] Youalso say, خَصَّهُ لِنَفْسِهِ (TA) and لِنَفْسِهِ ↓ اختصّهُ (T, A, TA) [He appropriated, or took, or chose, him, or it, particularly, or specially, to, or for, himself; as also خَصَّ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ and بِهِ نَفْسَهُ ↓ اختصّ]. And فُلَانًا ↓ هُوَ يَسْتَخِصُّ and يَسْتَخْلِصُهُ (A, TA) [He appropriates such a one purely to himself, exclusively of any partner; (see the latter verb;)] he chooses such a one for himself; he appropriates him to himself as his particular, or special, intimate; (TA in art. خلص;) both signify the same. (S and K in art. خلص.) [And ↓ اختصّهُ He treated him, or behaved towards him, with partiality; was partial towards him: a signification implied by the first explanation in this art.: and in this sense it is often used.]

A2: خَصَّ, aor. ـُ [contr. to general rule, by which it should be خَصِّ, for it is intrans., and of the measure فَعَلَ, accord. to the Msb,] inf. n. خُصُوصٌ, [and app. خَصُوصِيَّةٌ and خُصُوصِيَّةٌ, accord. to modern usage,] It was, or became, particular, peculiar, or special; restricted, or confined, to one or more of persons, places, or things; distinct, or distinguished, from others; not common, or general; contr. of عَمَّ; as also ↓ اختصّ: (Msb:) [each, also, followed by لَهُ, signifies He, or it, belonged, pertained, or appertained, to him, or it, particularly, peculiarly, specially, or exclusively; it so related to him, or it; it was, or became, peculiar to him, or it: see also the latter verb below.]

(A, Msb, K.) You say, اختصّ فُلَانٌ بِالأَمْرِ, and لَهُ ↓ تخصّص, [or بِهِ, accord. to general usage,] Such a one was, or became, alone, with none to share or participate with him, in the affair; syn. اِنْفَرَدَ. (TA.) b3: See also 1, last sentence.10 إِسْتَخْصَ3َ see 1, latter half.

خَصوُصِيَّةٌ and خُصُوصِيَّةٌ: see خُصُوصٌ, in three places.

خِصَّانٌ and خُصَّانٌ: see the next paragraph, in three places.

خَاصٌّ Particular; peculiar; special; distinct, or distinguished, from others; contr. of عَامٌّ. (Msb, TA.) b2: [And hence, Choice; select. b3: And Pare; unmixed; unadulterated.] b4: [Used as a subst.,] it is syn. with ↓ خَاصَّةٌ; (Ks, Msb, K;) in which the ة is a corroborative; (Msb;) and which signifies Distinguished people; persons of distinction; the distinguished sort; contr. of عَامَّةٌ: (S, Msb, K:) or the former is contr. of عَامٌّ, and ↓ the latter is contr. of عَامَّةٌ: (TA:) [the pl. of both is خَوَاصٌّ and ↓ خِصَّانٌ and ↓ خُصَّانٌ: or, accord. to rule, the first of these is pl. only of خَاصَّةٌ; and judging from other instances, we should regard the second and third as more probably pls. of خَاصٌّ: but however the case may be,] خِصَّانٌ is syn. with خَوَاصُّ, (S, K,) and so is خُصَّانٌ. (K.) [You say, الخَاصُّ وَالعَامُّ, and وَالعَمَّةُ ↓ الخَاصَّةُ, The distinguished and the common people; the persons of distinction and the vulgar.] You also say, ↓ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ هٰذَا خِصَّانٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ meaning خَوَاصُّ مِنْهُمْ [Only distinguished persons of mankind do this]. (S.) b5: [It seems to be also, in some instances, syn. with

↓ خَاصَّةٌ as signifying A particular, peculiar, or special, friend, intimate, familiar, companion, associate, attendant, dependent, or servant:] the latter is explained in the T [and JK] as meaning a person whom thou hast appropriated, particularly distinguished, taken, or chosen, (اِخْتَصَصْتَهُ,) [as a friend, &c.,] to, or for, thyself: (TA:) [and it is used as a sing. and as a pl.: for] you say, هٰذَا خَاصَّتِى [This is my particular, or special, or choice, or choicest, friend, &c.]: and هُمْ خَاصَّتِى [They are my particular, or peculiar, or special, or choice, or choicest, friends, &c.]. (A.) You say also, فُلَانٌ خَاصٌّ لِفُلَانٍ, (Kull p. 174,) or بِفُلَانٍ, (so in the L,) [app. meaning لِفُلَانٍ, unless it be mistranscribed, and the latter be the correct reading, which I think much the more probable;] i. e., Such a one belongs exclusively [as a particular, or peculiar, or special, friend, &c.,] to such a one; (Kull;) and ↓ مُخَصٌّ signifies the same. (L.) b6: See the dim. of خَاصَّةٌ, (namely خُوَيْصَّةٌ,) below.

خَاصَّةٌ: see خَاصٌّ, in four places. b2: It also signifies A property of a thing, not found, or not existing, either wholly or partly, in another thing: and ↓ خَاصِّيَّةٌ [thus correctly written, and thus I have always found it written except by Golius and those who have probably imitated him, who write it without the sheddeh to the ى,] is used as denoting [a property, or particular or peculiar virtue, which is] an unknown cause of a known effect; as that by which a medicine operates: the former differs from the latter in being conventionally applied to an effect, [or effective property,] whether the cause of its existence be known or not: [the pl. of the former is خَوَاصُّ, agreeably with analogy and usage, like as عَوَامُّ is pl. of عَامَّةٌ:] the pl. of the latter is خَاصِّيَّاتٌ [and خَصَائِصُ]; and خَوَاصُّ is a quasi-pl. n., not a pl., of the same. (Kull p. 174. [All the abovementioned words here cited from that work are there without syll. signs, as being well known. Both خاصّة and ↓ خاصّيّة, as here explained, are perhaps post-classical; but of this I am not certain: and both are sometimes used as meaning The peculiar nature of a thing; also termed its essence.]) b3: خَاصَّةً and بِخَاصَّةٍ: see خُصُوصٌ.

خَاصِّيَّةٌ: see خَاصَّةٌ, in two places.

خُوَيْصَّةٌ dim. of خَاصَّةٌ; (A, K;) [like دُوَيْبَّةٌ, q. v., dim. of دَابَّةٌ;] originally خُوَيْصِصَةٌ; (TA;) the ى being quiescent because the ى of the dim. cannot be movent; (A, K;) [properly signifying A little, or young, particular, or peculiar, or special, friend, companion, associate, attendant, or servant; and used in other senses, like other diminutives; implying littleness of estimation; and also affection, and awe.] It is said in a trad., (TA,) عَلَيْكَ بِخُوَيْصَّةِ نَفْسِكَ [Keep thou to the little, or dear, particular friend of thine own self: so it seems to mean accord. to Z, being mentioned by him among the proper expressions belonging to this art.: but accord. to the TK, it appears to be tropical; for the meaning is there said to be, (assumed tropical:) thine own particular state, or condition]. (A, TA.) In another trad., خويصّة is used as signifying A little, young, particular, or peculiar, or special, servant. (TA.) And in another trad. it is said, بَادِرُوا بِالأَعْمَالِ سِتًّا الدَّجَّالِ وَكَذَا وَكَذَا وَخُوَيْصَّةَ أَحَدِكُمْ, i. e. (assumed tropical:) Strive ye to be before six things with [good] works; Antichrist, and such and such things, and the event of death which is specially, or peculiarly, appointed to any one of you: [or, I would rather say, the awful special awaiter of any one of you; though it is asserted that] the diminutive form is here used to denote low estimation of that which it signifies in comparison with what follows it, namely, the resurrection, &c. (TA.) مُخَصٌّ: see خَاصٌّ, last sentence but one.

مَأرِبٌ:
بهمزة ساكنة، وكسر الراء، والباء الموحدة، اسم المكان من الأرب وهي الحاجة، ويجوز أن يكون من قولهم: أرب يأرب إربا إذا صار ذا دهي، أو من أرب الرجل إذا احتاج إلى الشيء وطلبه، وأربت بالشيء: كلفت به، يجوز أن يكون اسم المكان من هذا كله: وهي بلاد الأزد باليمن، قال السّهيلي: مأرب اسم قصر كان لهم، وقيل: هو اسم لكل ملك كان يلي سبأ كما أن تبّعا اسم لكل من ولي اليمن والشحر وحضرموت، قال المسعودي: وكان هذا السُّد من بناء سبإ بن يشجب بن يعرب وكان سافله سبعين واديا ومات قبل أن يستتمّه فأتمته ملوك حمير بعده، قال المسعودي: بناه لقمان بن عاد وجعله فرسخا في فرسخ وجعل له ثلاثين مشعبا، وفي الحديث: أقطع رسول الله، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، أبيض بن حمّال ملح مأرب، حدثني شيخ سديد فقيه محصّل من أهل صنعاء من ناحية شبام كوكبان وكان مستبينا متثبتا فيما يحكي قال: شاهدت مأرب وهي بين حضرموت وصنعاء، وبينها وبين صنعاء أربعة أيام، وهي قرية ليس بها عامر إلا ثلاث قرى يقال لها
الدروب إلى قبيلة من اليمن: فالأول من ناحية صنعاء درب آل الغشيب ثم درب كهلان ثم درب الحرمة، وكل واحد من هذه الدروب كاسمه درب طويل لا عرض له طوله نحو الميل كل دار إلى جنب الأخرى طولا وبين كل درب والآخر نحو فرسخين أو ثلاثة، وهم يزرعون على ماء جار يجيء من ناحية السّدّ فيسقون أرضهم سقية واحدة فيزرعون عليه ثلاث مرات في كل عام، قال: ويكون بين بذر الشعير وحصاده في ذلك الموضع نحو شهرين، وسألته عن سدّ مأرب فقال: هو بين ثلاثة جبال يصب ماء السيل إلى موضع واحد وليس لذلك الماء مخرج إلا من جهة واحدة فكان الأوائل قد سدوا ذلك الموضع بالحجارة الصلبة والرصاص فيجتمع فيه ماء عيون هناك مع ما يغيض من مياه السيول فيصير خلف السّد كالبحر فكانوا إذا أرادوا سقي زروعهم فتحوا من ذلك السدّ بقدر حاجتهم بأبواب محكمة وحركات مهندسة فيسقون حسب حاجتهم ثم يسدّونه إذا أرادوا، وقال عبيد الله بن قيس الرّقيات:
يا ديار الحبائب بين صنعا ومارب ... جادك السعد غدوة والثريّا بصائب
من هزيم كأنما يرتمي بالقواضب ... في اصطفاق ورنّة واعتدال المواكب
وأما خبر خراب سدّ مأرب وقصّة سيل العرم فإنه كان في ملك حبشان فأخرب الأمكنة المعمورة في أرض اليمن وكان أكثر ما أخرب بلاد كهلان بن سبإ بن يشجب بن يعرب وعامة بلاد حمير بن سبإ، وكان ولد حمير وولد كهلان هم سادة اليمن في ذلك الزمان، وكان عمرو بن عامر كبيرهم وسيدهم وهو جد الأنصار فمات عمرو بن عامر قبل سيل العرم وصارت الرياسة إلى أخيه عمران بن عامر الكاهن، وكان عاقرا لا يولد له ولد، وكان جوادا عاقلا، وكان له ولولد أخيه من الحدائق والجنان ما لم يكن لأحد من ولد قحطان، وكان فيهم امرأة كاهنة تسمى طريفة فأقبلت يوما حتى وقفت على عمران بن عامر وهو في نادي قومه فقالت: والظلمة والضياء، والأرض والسماء، ليقبلن إليكم الماء، كالبحر إذا طما، فيدع أرضكم خلاء، تسفي عليها الصّبا، فقال لها عمران:
ومتى يكون ذلك يا طريفة؟ فقالت: بعد ستّ عدد، يقطع فيها الوالد الولد، فيأتيكم السيل، بفيض هيل، وخطب جليل، وأمر ثقيل، فيخرّب الديار، ويعطل العشار، ويطيب العرار، قال لها: لقد فجعنا بأموالنا يا طريفة فبيّني مقالتك، قالت: أتاكم أمر عظيم، بسيل لطيم، وخطب جسيم، فاحرسوا السّد، لئلا يمتدّ، وإن كان لا بدّ من الأمر المعدّ، انطلقوا إلى رأس الوادي، فسترون الجرذ العادي، يجرّ كل صخرة صيخاد، بأنياب حداد، وأظفار شداد.
فانطلق عمران في نفر من قومه حتى أشرفوا على السّدّ، فإذا هم بجرذان حمر يحفرن السدّ الذي يليها بأنيابها فتقتلع الحجر الذي لا يستقلّه مائة رجل ثم تدفعه بمخاليب رجليها حتى يسدّ به الوادي مما يلي البحر ويفتح مما يلي السدّ، فلما نظروا إلى ذلك علموا انها قد صدقت، فانصرف عمران ومن كان معه من أهله، فلما استقرّ في قصره جمع وجوه قومه ورؤساءهم وأشرافهم وحدّثهم بما رأى وقال: اكتموا هذا الأمر عن إخوتكم من ولد حمير لعلّنا نبيع أموالنا وحدائقنا منهم ثم نرحل عن هذه الأرض، وسأحتال في ذلك بحيلة، ثم قال لابن أخيه حارثة: إذا اجتمع الناس إليّ فإني سآمرك بأمر فأظهر فيه العصيان فإذا ضربت رأسك بالعصا فقم إليّ فالطمني، فقال له: كيف يلطم
الرجل عمّه! فقال: افعل يا بنيّ ما آمرك فإن في ذلك صلاحك وصلاح قومك، فلما كان من الغد اجتمع إلى عمران أشراف قومه وعظماء حمير ووجوه رعيته مسلّمين عليه، فأمر حارثة بأمر فعصاه فضربه بمخصرة كانت في يده فوثب إليه فلطمه فأظهر عمران الأنفة والحمية وأمر بقتل ابن أخيه حتى شفع فيه، فلما أمسك عن قتله حلف أنه لا يقيم في أرض امتهن بها ولا بدّ من أن يرتحل عنها، فقال عظماء قومه: والله لا نقيم بعدك يوما واحدا! ثم عرضوا ضياعهم على البيع فاشتراها منهم بنو حمير بأعلى الأثمان وارتحلوا عن أرض اليمن فجاء بعد رحيلهم بمديدة السبل وكان ذلك الجرذ قد خرّب السدّ فلم يجد مانعا فغرّق البلاد حتى لم يبق من جميع الأرضين والكروم إلا ما كان في رؤوس الجبال والأمكنة البعيدة مثل ذمار وحضرموت وعدن ودهيت الضياع والحدائق والجنان والقصور والدور وجاء السيل بالرمل وطمّها فهي على ذلك إلى اليوم، وباعد الله بين أسفارهم كما ذكروا فتفرّقوا عباديد في البلدان، ولما انفصل عمران وأهله من بلد اليمن عطف ثعلبة العنقاء بن عمرو بن عامر ماء السماء بن حارثة الغطريف بن امرئ القيس البطريق ابن ثعلبة البهلول بن مازن بن الأزد بن الغوث نحو الحجاز فأقام ما بين الثعلبية إلى ذي قار وباسمه سميت الثعلبية فنزلها بأهله وولده وماشيته ومن يتبعه فأقام ما بين الثعلبية وذي قار يتتبع مواقع المطر، فلما كبر ولده وقوي ركنه سار نحو المدينة وبها ناس كثير من بني إسرائيل متفرّقون في نواحيها فاستوطنوها وأقاموا بها بين قريظة والنضير وخيبر وتيماء ووادي القرى ونزل أكثرهم بالمدينة إلى أن وجد عزّة وقوّة فأجلى اليهود عن المدينة واستخلصها لنفسه وولده فتفرّق من كان بها من اليهود وانضموا إلى إخوانهم الذين كانوا بخيبر وفدك وتلك النواحي وأقام ثعلبة وولده بيثرب فابتنوا فيها الآطام وغرسوا فيها النخل فهم الأنصار الأوس والخزرج أبناء حارثة بن ثعلبة العنقاء بن عمرو مزيقياء، وانخزع عنهم عند خروجهم من مأرب حارثة ابن عمرو مزيقياء بن عامر ماء السماء وهو خزاعة فافتتحوا الحرم وسكانه جرهم وكانت جرهم أهل مكة فطغوا وبغوا وسنّوا في الحرم سننا قبيحة وفجر رجل منهم كان يسمى إساف بامرأة يقال لها نائلة في جوف الكعبة فمسخا حجرين، وهما اللذان أصابهما بعد ذلك عمرو بن لحيّ ثم حسّن لقومه عبادتهما، كما ذكرته في إساف، فأحب الله تعالى أن يخرج جرهما من الحرم لسوء فعلهم، فلما نزل عليهم خزاعة حاربوهم حربا شديدة فظفّر الله خزاعة بهم فنفوا جرهما من الحرم إلى الحلّ فنزلت خزاعة الحرم ثم إن جرهما تفرّقوا في البلاد وانقرضوا ولم يبق لهم أثر، ففي ذلك يقول شاعرهم:
كأن لم يكن بين الحجون إلى الصفا ... أنيس، ولم يسمر بمكة سامر
بلى! نحن كنّا أهلها فأبادنا ... صروف الليالي والجدود العواثر
وكنّا ولاة البيت من قبل نابت ... نطوف بذاك البيت والخير ظاهر
وعطف عمران بن عمرو مزيقياء بن عامر ماء السماء مفارقا لأبيه وقومه نحو عمان وقد كان انقرض بها من طسم وجديس ابني إرم فنزلها وأوطنها وهم أزد عمان منهم وهم العتيك آل المهلّب وغيرهم، وسارت قبائل نصر بن الأزد وهم قبائل كثيرة منهم دوس رهط أبي هريرة وغامد وبارق وأحجن والجنادبة وزهران وغيرهم نحو تهامة فأقاموا بها وشنئوا قومهم أو شنئهم قومهم إذ لم ينصروهم في حروبهم أعني حروب
الذين قصدوا مكة فحاربوا جرهم والذين قصدوا المدينة فحاربوا اليهود فهم أزد شنوءة، ولما تفرّقت قضاعة من تهامة بعد الرحب التي جرت بينهم وبين نزار بن معدّ سارت بليّ وبهراء وخولان بنو عمران ابن الحاف بن قضاعة ومن لحق بهم إلى بلاد اليمن فوغلوا فيها حتى نزلوا مأرب أرض سبإ بعد افتراق الأزد عنها وخروجهم منها، فأقاموا بها زمانا ثم أنزلوا عبدا لأراشة بن عبيلة بن فران بن بليّ يقال له أشعب بئرا لهم بمأرب ودلّوا عليه دلاءهم ليملأها لهم، فطفق العبد يملأ لمواليه وسادته ويؤثرهم ويبطئ عن زيد الله بن عامر بن عبيلة بن قسميل فغضب من ذلك فحطّ عليه صخرة وقال: دونك يا أشعب، فأصابته فقتلته فوقع الشر بينهم لذلك واقتتلوا حتى تفرّقوا، فيقول قضاعة:
إن خولان أقامت باليمن فنزلوا مخلاف خولان، وإن مهرة أقامت هناك وصارت منازلهم الشحر ولحق عامر بن زيد الله بن عامر بن عبيلة بن قسميل بسعد العشيرة فهم فيهم زيد الله، فقال المثلّم بن قرط البلوي:
ألم تر أن الحيّ كانوا بغبطة ... بمأرب إذ كانوا يحلّونها معا
بليّ وبهراء وخولان إخوة ... لعمرو بن حاف فرع من قد تفرّعا
أقام به خولان بعد ابن أمه ... فأثرى لعمري في البلاد وأوسعا
فلم أر حيّا من معدّ عمارة ... أجلّ بدار العزّ منّا وأمنعا
وهذا أيضا دليل على أن قضاعة من سعد، والله أعلم، وسار جفنة بن عمرو بن عامر إلى الشام وملكوها فهذه الأزد باقية وأما باقي قبائل اليمن فتفرّقت في البلاد بما يطول شرحه، وقد ذكرت الشعراء مأرب فقال المثلم بن قرط البلوي:
ألم تر أن الحيّ كانوا بغبطة ... بمأرب إذ كانوا يحلّونها معا
وقد ذكرت وقد ذكر الله سبحانه وتعالى في محكم كتابه قصة مأرب فقال: فَأَرْسَلْنا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ، 34: 16 كما ذكرناه في العرم، والعرم: المسنّاة التي كانت قد أحكمت لتكون حاجزا بين ضياعهم وحدائقهم وبين السيل ففجّرته فأرة ليكون أظهر في الأعجوبة كما أفار الله الطوفان من جوف التنور ليكون ذلك أثبت في العبرة وأعجب في الأمة ولذلك قال خالد بن صفوان التميمي لرجل من أهل اليمن كان قد فخر عليه بين يدي السفاح: ليس فيهم يا أمير المؤمنين إلا دابغ جلد أو ناسج برد أو سائس قرد أو راكب عرد، غرّقتهم فأرة وملكتهم امرأة ودلّ عليهم هدهد، وقال الأعشى:
ففي ذاك للمؤتسي أسوة، ... ومأرب عفّى عليها العرم
رخام بنته لهم حمير ... إذا ما نأى ماؤهم لم يرم
فأروى الزّروع وأغنامها ... على سعة ماؤهم إن قسم
وطار القيول وقيلاتها ... بيهماء فيها سراب يطم
فكانوا بذلكم حقبة ... فمال بهم جارف منهزم
قال أحمد بن محمد: ومأرب أيضا قصر عظيم عالي الجدران، وفيه قال الشاعر:
أما ترى مأربا ما كان أحصنه، ... وما حواليه من سور وبنيان
ظلّ العباديّ يسقي فوق قلّته، ... ولم يهب ريب دهر جدّ خوّان
حتى تناوله من بعد ما هجعوا ... يرقى إليه على أسباب كتّان
وقال جهم بن خلف:
ولم تدفع الأحساب عن ربّ مأرب ... منيّته وما حواليه من قصر
ترقّى إليه تارة بعد هجعة ... بأمراس كتّان أمرّت على شزر
وقد نسب إلى مأرب يحيى بن قيس المأربي الشيباني، روى عن ثمامة بن شراحيل، وروى عنه أبو عمرو محمد ومحمد بن بكر، ذكره البخاري في تاريخه، وسعيد بن أبيض بن حمّال المأربي، روى عن أبيه وعن فروة بن مسيك العطيفي، روى عنه ابنه ثابت ابن سعيد، ذكره ابن أبي حاتم، وثابت بن سعيد المأربي، حدث عن أبيه، روى عنه ابن أخيه فرج ابن سعيد بن علقمة بن سعيد بن أبيض بن حمّال المأربي الشيباني، هكذا نسبه ابن أبي حاتم، وقال أبو أحمد في الكنى: أبو روح الفرج بن سعيد أراه ابن علقمة بن سعيد بن أبيض بن حمّال المأربي عن خالد بن عمرو بن سعيد بن العاصي، وعمه ثابت بن سعيد المأربي، روى عنه أبو صالح محبوب بن موسى الأنطاكي وعبد الله بن الزبير الجندي، وقال أبو حاتم: جبر بن سعيد أخو فرج بن سعيد، روى عنه أخوه جبير بن سعيد المأربي، سألت أبي عن فرج بن سعيد فقال لا بأس به، ومنصور بن شيبة من أهل مأرب، روى عنه فرج بن سعيد بن علقمة المأربي، ذكره ابن أبي حاتم أيضا في ترجمة فرج ابن سعيد.
مَارِثُ:
بكسر الراء، وآخره ثاء مثلثة، يجوز أن يكون اسم المكان من الإرث من الميراث أو من الإرث وهي الحدود بين الأرضين، واحدته أرثة، وهي الإرث التي في حديث عثمان: الإرث تقطع الشفعة، والميم على هذه زائدة، ويجوز أن يكون اسم فاعل من مرثت الشيء بيدي إذا مرسته أو فتّتّه، أو من المرث وهو الحليم الوقور، ومارث:

(S, Msb.) [Hence,] you say, حَفِظَ المَالَ He kept and tended, or pastured and defended, the camels or the like. (K.) [And حَفِظَ حُرْمَةَ صَاحِبِهِ He was regardful of everything entitled to reverence, respect, honour, or defence, in the character and appertenances of his companion, or friend.] and حَفِظَ السِّرَّ He kept the secret.

And one says of God, قَدْ حَفِظَ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَعِبَادِهِ مَا يَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ أَوْ شَرٍّ [He hath preserved from oblivion, for, or against, his creatures and his servants, what they do of good or evil]. (TA.) b2: Also He kept it from being used, or employed, on, or for, ordinary, mean, or vile, occasions, or purposes. (Mgh, Msb.) You say, فُلَانٌ يَحْفَظُ نَفْسَهُ وَلِسَانَهُ Such a one keeps himself and his tongue from ordinary, mean, or vile, employment, in that which does not concern him. (Mgh.) and hence the saying in the Kur [v. 91], وَاحْفَظُوا

أَيْمَانَكُمْ, accord. to one of the modes of interpreting it; i. e. And keep ye your oaths from being used, or uttered, on, or for, ordinary, mean, or vile, occasions, or purposes; agreeably with what is said in ii. 224 of the Kur, where ordinary and frequent swearing by God is forbidden.

It is said in the S that ↓ حَفِيظٌ is syn. with ↓ مُحَافِظٌ; [but this seems to be a mistranscription for حَافِظٌ;] and hence (it is there added) the saying in the Kur [vi. 104, and xi. 88], ↓ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيظٍ [And I am not a defender, or a watcher, or, as I rather think, a keeper, over you].

(TA.) b2: [Hence, as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates, and then as a subst.,] A young child; in the dial. of Mekkeh; as a term of good omen: pl. مَحَافِيظُ.

(O, TA.) ضَبٌّ [A species of lizard; termed lacerta caudiverbera, from its habit of striking with its tail; (see جَرَشَ;) Forskål (Descr. Animalium, p. 13,) terms it lacerta Aegyptia; referring to Hasselquist, p. 302; and adds the following description: “ femora teretia sine verrucis: cauda verticillata non longa: squamæ patentes, subconicæ mucronatæ: corpus nudum, rugosum: ”] a certain reptile, or small creeping thing, (S, TA,) of those termed حَشَرَات, (TA,) well known; (K, TA;) resembling the وَرَل [q. v., but not so long]: (TA:) or resembling the حِرْذَون [q. v.]; of which there are two species, one of the size of the حرذون, and one larger: (Msb:) accord. to 'Abd-El-Káhir, of the size of a little young crocodile; having a tail like the tail of the latter: it assumes various colours when exposed to the sun, like as does the chameleon; lives seven hundred years; drinks not water, being satisfied with the air; voids one drop of urine in every forty days; its teeth consist of one curved piece; when it has quitted its hole it knows it not; and it lays eggs, like a bird: so say IKh and Dmr and others: AM says, the وَرَل is of a lank make, with a long tail; the latter resembling that of a serpent; and the length of some exceeds two cubits; but the tail of the ضبّ is jointed, and its utmost length is a span: the Arabs deem the ورل a foul and filthy thing, and do not eat it; but they are eager to hunt and eat the ضبّ: this animal has a rough tail, serrated with jags resembling vertebræ; its colour inclines to a blackish dusty hue; and when it becomes fat, its breast becomes yellow; it eats nothing but [the locusts called] جَنَادِب, and young locusts before their wings have grown (دَبًا), and herbage, not venomous or noxious reptiles; whereas the ورل eats scorpions and serpents and chameleons and beetles: its flesh is an antidote against poisons, and women grow fat upon it: (L, TA:) it is the longest, of the animals, in retaining the remains of life: (O:) [see also مُطَبِّخٌ:] the fem. is with ة: (S, O, Msb, K:) and the pl. [of pauc.] is أَضُبٌّ and [of mult.] ضِبَابٌ (S, O, Mgh, Msb, K) and ضُبَّانٌ, (K,) which last Lh particularizes as used to denote a great number, but ISd sees no reason for this distinction, (TA,) and [quasipl. n.] ↓ مَضَبَّةٌ, (O, K,) like as مَشْيَخَةٌ is of شَيْخٌ, (O,) this last on the authority of As, as heard by him from more than one of the Arabs. (TA.) Hence one says رَجُلٌ خَبٌّ ضَبٌّ (tropical:) [A very deceitful or mischievous, and] an abominable, guileful, ireful man: (TA:) or a very deceitful or mischievous or wicked, and guileful man: (S:) likened to the [lizard called] ضَبّ on account of his guilefulness: and in like manner, اِمْرَأَةٌ خَبَّةٌ ضَبَّةٌ. (A, TA.) And أَخْدَعُ مِنَ الضَّبِّ More guileful than the ضبّ: (A, TA:) a prov. (TA.) And أَعَقُّ مِنْ ضَبٍّ [More undutiful to kindred than a ضبّ]; because the ضبّ often eats its حُسُول [or young ones when they have just come forth from the eggs]: another prov.: (S:) أَبُو حِسْلٍ is a surname of the ضبّ. (TA.) One says also أَطْوَلُ ذَمَآءً مِنَ الضَّبِّ, another prov. [expl. in art. ذمى]. (O.) And أَحْيَرُ مِنْ ضَبٍّ, which is likewise a prov. [expl. in art. حير]. (Har p. 166.) and أَتُعْلِمُنِى بِضَبٍّ أَنَا حَرَشْتُهُ, another prov. [expl. in art. حرش]. (TA.) And لَا أَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى يَحِنَّ الضَّبُّ فِى إِثْرِ الإِبِلِ الصَّادِرَةِ [I will not do it until the ضبّ utters a yearning cry at the heels of the camels returning from water]: and لَا أَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى

يَرِدَ الضَّبُّ [I will not do it until the ضبّ comes to water: i. e. I will never do it:] because the ضبّ does not drink water. (S, O.) كَفُّ الضَّبِّ [means The paw of the ضبّ]: to this the Arabs liken the hand of the niggard when he fails to give: (TA:) and it is also applied by way of comparison to (tropical:) a niggard himself: and to denote (tropical:) shortness and littleness. (A, TA.) b2: [Hence also,] (tropical:) Rancour, malevolence, malice, or spite, (S, A, O, Msb, K, TA,) latent in the heart; (A, TA;) like the [lizard called] ضبّ hiding itself in the furthest extremity of its hole: (A:) and anger, wrath, or rage: (K:) or rancour, &c., or vehement rancour, &c., and enmity: (TA:) and ↓ ضِبٌّ signifies the same: (K:) the pl. is ضِبَابٌ, and [app. ضِبَبٌ also, for] the phrase كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا حَامِلُ ضِبَبٍ لِصَاحِبِهِ [Each of them a bearer of latent rancours &c. towards his fellow] occurs in a trad. (TA.) A2: Also A certain disease in the lip, (S, O, Msb, K,) in consequence of which it flows with blood, (S, O, Msb,) or swells, and becomes hard, or dry and hard, and flows with blood.

(O, K.) b3: And A tumour (S, O, K) in the خُفّ, (so in copies of the K [i. e. foot], in the TA انف [which is, I doubt not, a mistranscription],) or in the فِرْسِن, [which means the same, or the extremity of the foot,] (S, O,) of the camel. (S, O, K.) b4: And A disease in the elbow of a camel; (K, TA;) said to be its cutting into his skin [by rubbing against it]; or its being distorted, and falling against his side, so as to gall it. (TA.) b5: And A chapping, or cracking, (اِنَفِتَاقٌ,) [in the crease] of the armpit [of a child, or of a camel], and abundance of flesh: (S, O, TA:) El-'Adebbes El-Kinánee gives the same explanation, and says that this is what is also termed ضَاغِطٌ. (TA. [See 5.]) A3: Also The طَلْع [i. e. the spadix, or the spathe,] of the palm-tree: pl. ضِبَابٌ: (S, O:) or ↓ ضَبَّةٌ signifies, (K, TA,) and so ضَبٌّ, (TA,) [but the latter seems to be a coll. gen. n., and the former its n. un.,] a طَلْعَة [meaning spathe of a palm-tree] before it cleaves open (K, TA) from [around] the غَرِيض [or spadix]. (TA.) ضِبٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph, latter half.

(A, TA.) The ضَبَّة of a knife is The جُزْءَة [thereof; app. meaning a ferrule, or similar thing, affixed around the handle, next the blade, like the band of metal thus called which is affixed around a cracked vessel (as mentioned above); though جُزْءَةٌ generally means the “ handle ” itself]: thus called because it strengthens, or binds, the handle (تَشُدُّ النِّصَابَ).

(Az, S.) سُلْوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

سَلْوَى [accord. to those who make the alif to be a sign of the fem. gender] or سَلْوًى [accord. to those who make that letter to be one of quasicoordination] A certain bird, (S, M, Msb, K,) [in the present day applied to the quail,] i. q. سُمَانَى [which is also applied in the present day to the quail], (Ksh and Bd and Jel in ii. 54,) [or] white [?], resembling the سُمَانَى, (M,) or like the pigeon, but longer in the shank and neck than the latter, and of a colour resembling that of the سُمَانَى, quick in motion: accord. to Akh, the word is used as sing. and pl.: (Msb:) [or] Akh says, I have not heard any sing. thereof, and it seems that the single one is thus called like the pl. number, in like manner as دفْلَى is [said to be] applied to one and to the pl. number: (S:) or the n. un. is سَلْوَاةٌ; (M, K;) of which Lth cites as an ex. this saying, [in which بَلَّلَهُ should be بَلَّلَهَا,] كَمَا انْتَفَضَ السَّلْوَاةُ بَلَّلَهُ القَطْرُ [Like as shakes the selwáh which the rain has much wetted]. (TA.) A2: Also Honey; (S, M, K;) and so ↓ سُلْوَانَةٌ, with damm: (K:) the former is used in this sense by a poet, (S, M,) namely, Khálid Ibn-Zuheyr; and Zj says that Khálid has made a mistake, the word سلوى signifying only a certain bird; but, accord. to AAF, (M,) b2: السَّلْوَى signifies [also] Whatever renders thee forgetful, or content, or happy, in a case of privation; (كُلُّ مَا سَلَّاكَ, M, K;) and honey is thus called because it renders thee thus by its sweetness. (M.) سُلْوَانٌ A water which is drunk and which renders one forgetful, or content, or happy, in a case of privation; or comforts, or consoles, for a loss or want: (Lh, M, K:) or a thing that is given to drink to the passionate lover in order that he may be forgetful, or content, or happy, without the woman: (Lh, M:) or it consists in one's taking some of the dust, or earth, of a grave, and sprinkling it upon water, and giving it to drink to the passionate lover, (M, K, *) whereupon his love dies: (K:) or rain-water poured upon a certain bead (خَرَزَةٌ) called ↓ سُلْوَانَةٌ, of which they used to say that when the passionate lover drank this water he became forgetful, or content, or happy, in his privation: (S:) or a certain medicine which is given to drink to him who is in grief and in consequence of which he becomes happy; (S, K;) called by the physicians مُفَرِّحٌ: (S:) or a certain bead (خَرَزَةٌ) for captivating, or fascinating, also called ↓ سُلْوَانَةٌ, (Lh, M, K,) and ↓ سَلْوَانَةٌ, (Sgh, K,) with which women captivate, or fascinate, men, restraining them from other women: (Lh, M:) or ↓ سُلْوَانَةٌ signifies [or, accord. to the K, signifies also] a certain bead (خَرَزَةٌ, M, K,) transparent, (M,) which, when one has buried it in the sand and then scraped the sand up from over it, is seen to be black, and is given [in water] to drink to a man, and renders him forgetful, or content, or happy, in a case of privation: (M, K: *) or a pebble upon which water is poured and given to drink to a man, who thereupon becomes forgetful, or content, or happy, in a case of privation: (M:) Ru-beh says, لَوْ أَشْرَبُ السُّلْوَانَ مَا سَلِيتُ مَابِى غِنًى عَنْكِ وَإِنْ غَنِيتُ (S, M, *) and Nuseyr Ibn-Abee-Nuseyr, in answer to a question of As respecting the meaning of السلوان, said that it is a bead (خَرَزَةٌ) which is bruised, or pulverized, [and upon which water is then poured,] the water of which occasions in the drinker thereof forgetfulness, or content, or happiness, in a case of privation: but As disallowed this, and said that it is an inf. n. of سَلَوْتُ, and that the meaning is لَوْ أَشْرَبُ السُّلُوَّ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) Were I made to drink forgetfulness, &c., I should not become forgetful, &c.: there is not in me freedom from want of thee, though I be free from want of others]. (TA.) See also سَلْوَةٌ.

سَلْوَانَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

سُلْوَانَةٌ: see سَلْوَى: b2: and see also سُلْوَانٌ, in three places.

سُلَّى, [said to be] like رُبَّى, [but it may be سُلًّى, as there is no apparent cause for its being imperfectly decl.,] A quality that renders forgetful of the objects of love or affection, or that renders content, or happy, without them. (TA in art. سلى.) سَالٍ [act. part. n. of 1: as such often signifying] Having his heart free from love, or affection. (Har p. 41.) مُسْلَاةٌ [a noun of the class of مُبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ

&c., originally مَسْلَوَةٌ]. One says, فِيهِ مَسْلَاةٌ عَنِ الكُرَبِ [In him is a cause of forgetfulness of, or freedom from, anxieties]: like مُعْلَاةٌ [in form]. (TA.) المُسَلِّى The third [in arriving at the goal] of the ten horses that are started together for a race: so called because he renders his owner content, or happy (يُسَلِّيهِ). (Ham p. 46.) مُتَسَلًّى [a noun of place from 5]. One says, مَاعَنْهُ مُتَسَلًّى [There is not any place in which one may be rendered forgetful, &c., of him, or it; or in which one may be rendered content, or happy, without him, or it]. (TA.)

غن

ى1 غَنِىَ, (S, MA, Msb, K, *) from المَال, aor. ـْ (Msb,) inf. n. غِنًى (S, * MA, Msb, K *) and غَنَآءٌ, (MA, K, * TK, [but the latter is app. held by some to be a simple subst.,]) He was, or became, free from want; in the state, or condition, of having no wants; and also, of having few wants; or in a state of competence, or sufficiency; or rich, or wealthy; الغِنَى being the contr. of الفَقْرُ, as also الغَنَآءُ; (K, TA;) and thus denoting the absence, or non-existence, of wants, which is [properly, or strictly speaking,] attributable to none but God; and also the paucity of wants; (TA;) or syn. with اليَسَارُ: (S:) and the epithet applied to him of whom this is said is ↓ غَنِىٌّ, (S:) or ↓ غَانٍ, (Msb,) [or both, for] both signify the same [as will be shown below]. (K.) One says غَنِىَ and ↓ استغنى and ↓ تغنّى and ↓ تغانى and ↓ اغتنى, (K, TA, [but wanting in the CK, and app. in several copies of the K, though it is said in one place in the K, as it is in the S, that تغنّى is syn. with استغنى,]) all having one and the same meaning, and followed by بِهِ [as therewith signifying He was, or became, free from want; in the state, or condition, of having no want, or need; or in a state of competence, &c.; by means of it, or him; i. e. he was, or became, sufficed by it, or him; and hence, he was, or became, content, or satisfied, with it, or him]. (TA.) ↓ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالقُرْآنِ, (Msb, TA,) a saying of the Prophet, (Msb,) mentioned in a trad., (TA,) means من لم ↓ يَسْتَغْنِ [i. e. He is not of us who is not content, or satisfied, with the Kur-án]: so says Sufyán Ibn-'Oyeyneh; not regarding it as meaning the utterance of the voice [in chanting]: and A 'Obeyd says that this obtains extensively in the speech of the Arabs; that they say ↓ تَغَنَّيْتُ and ↓ تَغَانَيْتُ in the sense of ↓ اِسْتَغْنَيْتُ. (Az, Msb, TA.) And one says, غَنِىَ عَنْهُ, inf. n. غِنًى and غُنْيَانٌ, meaning He was in no need of it [or him]: as also عنه ↓ استغنى; and غنه ↓ أَغْنَى [which seems to be rarely used in this sense]: and ↓ غُنْيَةٌ signifies the state of being in no need: and ↓ غَانٍِ, a man free from need. (MA.) [And مَا عَنْهُ ↓ يَسْتَغْنِى He is not without need, or not free from want, of it, or him.] And غَنِىَ بِهِ عَنْهُ, (S, Msb,) i. e. عَنْ غَيْرِهِ, (Msb,) inf. n. غُنْيَةٌ, (S,) or ↓ غُنْيَةٌ is the subst., (Msb,) meaning ↓ استغنى

[He was sufficed by it, or was satisfied, or content, with it, so as to be in no need, or so as to be free from want, of it, i. e. of another thing]: and the epithet is ↓ غَنِىٌّ. (Msb.) And [in like manner] غَنِيَتِ المَرْأَةُ بِزَوْجِهَا (S, Msb, K) عَنْ غَيْرِهِ, (Msb,) inf. n. غُنْيَانٌ (S, K) and غَنَآءٌ also, (TA,) meaning ↓ اِسْتَغْنَت [The woman was satisfied, or content, with her husband, so as to have no want of other than him]. (S, K) And غَنِيَتْ [alone], (K, TA,) inf. n. غِنًا [for غِنًى, or perhaps a mistranscription for غَنَآءٌ, as in the next preceding sentence], She (a woman) was, or became, such as is termed غَانِيَةٌ [q. v. voce غَانٍ]. (K.) b2: غَنِىَ, (TK,) inf. n. غِنًى, (K, TK,) also signifies He married, or took a wife; [as also ↓ تغنّى; (see Ham p. 226 l. 1, where تَغَنَّتْ occurs said of a woman as meaning she married;)] syn. تَزَوَّجَ. (K, * TK. [In the K, only the inf. n. of the former verb in this sense is mentioned; الغِنَى being there expl. in some copies as signifying التَّزَوُّجُ; and in others, التَّزْوِيجُ.]) Hence the saying, الغِنَى حِصْنٌ لِلْعَزَبِ [Marriage is a bulwark to him who has no wife; protecting him from the attacks of seductive women by rendering him free from the want of them]: mentioned by Az. (TA.) b3: Also, غَنِىَ, (S, K,) inf. n. غِنًى, (TA,) He dwelt, or abode, (S, K,) بِالمَكَانِ in the place: (S:) or غَنِىَ القَوْمُ فِى دَارِهِمْ The people, or party, dwelt long in their place of abode: (T, TA:) or غَنِىَ فِى مَكَانِ كَذَا He dwelt long in such a place, satisfied, or content, therewith, so as to be in no need of any other. (Er-Rághib, TA.) كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا, in the Kur [vii. 90 and xi. 71 and 98], means As though they had not dwelt therein. (TA.) [See also the last sentence but two in this paragraph.] b4: and He lived; syn. عَاشَ. (S, K.) b5: And I. q.

بَقِىَ: (TA:) one says, غَنِيتُ لَكَ مِنِّى بِالمَوَدَّةِ, meaning بَقِيتُ [i. e. I remained, or have remained, constant to thee with my love, or affection]. (ISd, K, TA: in the CK [erroneously]

غَنَيْتُ.) b6: [And I. q. كَانَ.] قَدْ أَغْنَى الحَبِيبَ المُصَافِىَ, in a verse of Ibn-Mukbil, means أَكُونُ الحَبِيبَ [i. e. Certainly I will be, or shall be, the sincere friend]. (TA.) And غَنِيَتْ دَارُنَا تِهَامَةَ, (K, TA,) in a verse of another poet, (TA,) means كَانَتْ [i. e. Our place of abode was Tihámeh]. (K, TA.) And one says of a thing when it has perished, passed away, or come to nought, كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَ بِالأَمْسِ, meaning كَأَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ [i. e. As though it had not been in existence yesterday]. (Az, TA.) A2: غَنِىَ also signifies لَقِىَ: (K:) [SM doubts this; saying,] thus in the copies; but perhaps it should be بَقِىَ, a signification of غَنِىَ accord. to ISd and the K [and mentioned above]: (TA:) [it appears, however, to be correct; for it is said that] مَا غَنِيتُ فُلَانًا means لَمْ أَلْقَهُ [i. e. I did not meet, or meet with, or find, or I have not met, &c., such a one]. (JK.) [Accord. to the TK, غَنِىَ followed by بِهِ signifies لَقِى: but this is perhaps said conjecturally.]2 غَنَّىَ see 4.

A2: غنّى, (S, MA, Msb,) inf. n. تَغْنِيَةٌ, (KL,) as syn. with ↓ تغنّى, (S, MA, Msb, *) He sang, or chanted, (S, * MA, KL;) or he trilled, or quavered, or prolonged his voice and modulated it sweetly, singing, or chanting. (Msb in explanation of the former.) You say غنّاهُ الشِّعْرَ [He sang, or chanted, to him the poetry], and غنّى بِهِ [he sang, or chanted, it, i. e., the poetry], inf. n. تَغْنِيَةٌ; and بِهِ ↓ تغنّى; تغنّى and غنّى

having one and the same meaning. (K, TA.) بِالقُرْآنِ ↓ يَتَغَنَّى, in a trad. cited in the first paragraph of art. اذن, means, as expl. by EshSháfi'ee, Reciting [or chanting] the Kur-án with a plaintive and gentle voice. (Az, Msb, TA. [See also that trad. somewhat differently related voce تَرَنَّمَ.]) b2: غنّى is also said of a pigeon, meaning It [cooed, or] uttered a cry; (K, TA;) and so ↓ تغنّى. (TA.) b3: غنّى بِالمَرْأَةِ meansتَغَزَّلَ بِهَا, (K, TA,) i. e. He mentioned the woman [in amatory language, as an object of love,] in his poetry: (TA:) and غنّى بِزَيْدٍ He eulogized Zeyd: or he satirized him: like ↓ تغنّى in these two senses: (K, TA:) in that of eulogizing and that of satirizing: or, in the opinion of ISd, both of the verbs are used in these two senses and likewise in the sense mentioned immediately before them; meaning that he did thus after prolonging and modulating his voice; singing, or chanting, the same, i. e. the غَزَل and the eulogy and the satire. (TA.) 3 غَاْنَىَ see غَنَآءٌ. [From what is there said, it seems that غاناهُ signifies He was in no need of him, or it; like غَنِىَ عَنْهُ and استغنى عنه: compare تَغَانَوْا.

A2: And app. it signifies also He spoke, or talked, to him, i. e. to a child, or boy, saying to him what was pleasing to him; for it is said that] المُغَانَاةُ means تَكْلِيمُكَ الصَّبِىَّ بِمَا يَهْوَى. (JK.) 4 اغناهُ He (i. e. God, S, K, TA, [but wanting in the CK and app. in several copies of the K,]) rendered him, or made him to be, in no need, or free from want; (S, * MA, K; *) [or in a state of competence, or sufficiency;] or possessed of wealth; (S, * K, * TA;) [or rich, or wealthy; (see 1, first sentence;)] and ↓ غنّاهُ signifies the same; (K, TA; [but wanting in the CK and app. in several copies of the K;]) or, as some say, this latter is [used] in prayer [app. as meaning he said to him, May God enrich thee, or the like: compare سَقَّيْتُهُ (“ I said to him, May God send down rain to thee ”), and عَقَّرْتُهُ (as expl. in art. عقر), &c.]. (TA.) [And اغناهُ عَنْ كَذَا He, or it, caused him to be in no need, or free from want, of such a thing. (See Ham p. 152.) and يُغْنِى عَنْ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا It renders needless thy doing such a thing: lit. it causes that there shall be no need of thy doing such a thing.] b2: and اغنى عَنْهُ كَذَا Such a thing sufficed him; or stood him in stead: whence the saying in the Kur [lxix. 28], مَا أَغْنَىعَنِّى مَالِيَهْ [My property has not sufficed me, or stood me in stead]: and [in iii. 8 and lviii. 18 of the same,] لَنْ تُغْنِىَ عَنْهُمْ أَمْوَالُهُمْ [Their possessions will not suffice them in lieu of God]: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or this last means, will not defend them from God, i. e. from his punishment. (Jel in iii. 8.) And ↓ أَغْنَيْتُ عَنْكَ مَغْنَى

فُلَانٍ and ↓ مَغْنَاتَهُ, (S, Msb, K, *) and ↓ مُغْنَى

فُلَانٍ and ↓ مُغْنَاتَهُ, (S, Mgh, K,) and فُلَانٍ ↓ غَنَآءَ, (K,) I sufficed, or satisfied, or contented, thee, or I have sufficed, &c., as such a one; or I stood thee, or served thee, or I have stood &c., in the stead of such a one. (S, * Mgh, Msb, K.) and مَا يُغْنِى عَنْكَ هٰذَا This does not suffice, or satisfy, or content, thee; or stand thee, or serve thee, in any stead; and does not avail, or profit, thee. (S.) Az mentions مَا أَغْنَى فُلَانٌ شَيْئًا, thus, and with ع, [i. e. أَعْنَى,] as meaning Such a one did not avail, or profit, at all, in a difficult, or an arduous, affair or case; and did not suffice for such an affair or such a case, or for the supply of what was necessary for subsistence. (Msb, TA.) And he says also that he heard a man chide his slave, and say to him, أَغْنِ عَنِّى وَجْهَكَ بَلْ شَرَّكَ, meaning Free me from, and avert from me, [thy face, nay, rather,] thy evil, or mischief: and hence the phrase شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ, [respecting which see the second sentence in art. عنى,] in the Kur [lxxx. 37]. (TA.) [Hence also,] وَمَا أُغْنِى عَنْكُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ, in the Kur xii. 67, means But I do not avert from you, by my saying this, anything decreed to befall you from God: the second من is redundant. (Jel.) And one says, أَغْنِ عَنِّى كَذَا, meaning Put thou away from me, and remove far from me, such a thing: properly [أَغْنِنِى عَنْ كَذَا, originally meaning render thou me in no need of such a thing,] a phrase of the same kind as عَرَضَ الدَّابَّةَ عَلَى المَآءِ [for عَرَضَ المَآءَ عَلَى الدَّابَّةِ]. (Mgh.) A2: أَغْنَى عَنْهُ as intrans.: see 1, former half.

A3: مَا أَغْنَاهُ [How free from wants, or how rich, or wealthy, is he!]: this and مَا أَفْقَرَهُ are [said to be] anomalous; for their [respective] verbs are استغنى and افتقر, from either of which the verb of wonder may not properly [or regularly] be formed. (S in art. فقر.

[But see غَنِىَ as syn. with استغنى; and see also art. فقر.]) 5 تَغَنَّىَ see 1, former half, in three places: b2: and again in the latter half: A2: and see also 2, in five places.6 تَغَاْنَىَ see 1, former half, in two places. b2: تَغَانُوْا means They were, or became, free from want, one of another, or, as we say, of one another. (S, K.) El-Mugheereh Ibn-Habnà says, عَنْ أَخِيهِ حَيَاتَهُ ↓ كِلَانَا غَنِىٌّ وَنَحْنُ إِذَا مُتْنَا أَشَدُّ تَغَانِيَا [Each of us is free from want of his brother in his life-time; and when we die, we shall be more free from such want]. (S.) 8 إِغْتَنَىَ see 1, second sentence.10 إِسْتَغْنَىَ see 1, in seven places.

A2: استغنى اللّٰهَ He asked, or begged, God to render him, or make him to be, in no need, or free from want; [or in a state of competence, or sufficiency;] or rich, or wealthy. (K, TA. [But wanting in the CK, and app. in several copies of the K.]) Hence the prayer, اَللّٰهُمَّ

إِنِّىَ أَسْتَغْنِيكَ عَنْ كُلِّ حَارِمٍ وَأَسْتَعِينُكَ [O God, I ask Thee to render me in no need of any one who refuses to give, and I beg thine aid]. (TA.) غَنًى, (K, TA,) with fet-h, and مَقْصُور, (TA,) i. q. مَئِنَّةٌ; so in the saying, مَكَانُ كَذَا غَنًى مِنْ فُلَانٍ [Such a place is meet, fit, or proper, for such a one; as though meaning a place of freedom from want]; as also مِنْهُ ↓ مَغْنًى. (K, TA.) غِنًى and ↓ غَنَآءٌ signify the same; (MA, K;) both are inf. ns. of غَنِىَ: (MA:) [see the first sentence of this art.: used as simple substs., they mean Freedom from need or want; competence, or sufficiency; or richness, or wealthiness:] or غِنًى is the inf. n. of غَنِىَ; (Msb;) and ↓ غَنَآءٌ signifies competence, or sufficiency; (Mgh, Msb;) as in the saying, لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ غَنَآءٌ He has not competence, or sufficiency: (Msb:) or غَنَآءٌ signifies profit, utility, or avail; (S;) and you say, رَجُلٌ لَا غَنَآءَ عِنْدَهُ meaning A man who is not profitable to any one: (TA voce دَدَانٌ; [and in like manner this phrase, occurring in the S voce دَدَانٌ, is expl. in the PS:]) and ↓ غُنْوَةٌ signifies the same as غِنًى

in the saying لِى عَنْهُ غُنْوَةٌ [I have no need of it, or him]: (K and TA in art. غنو:) so says Ks: but, as ISd says, the word commonly known is ↓ غُنْيَةٌ; (TA in that art.;) which see in two places in the former half of the first paragraph of this art.: this last word [said in the S to be an inf. n.] and ↓ غِنْيَةٌ and ↓ غُنْوَةٌ and ↓ غُنْيَانٌ [which is said in the S and in one place in the K to be an inf. n.] are substs. having one and the same meaning [syn. with غِنًى used as a simple subst.]: and مَا لَه عَنْهُ غِنًى [in the CK erroneously غَنًى] and ↓ غُنْيَةٌ and ↓ غُنْيَانٌ and ↓ مَغْنًى mean [lit. He has not freedom from need of it, or him; and hence,] he has not any means, or way, of separating himself from, or avoiding, it, or him; syn. بُدٌّ: (K:) and one says عَنِ ↓ فِى النِّكَاحِ غُنْيَةٌ السِّفَاحِ [In marriage is freedom from need of fornication]. (A and Msb in art. سفح.) مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى, in a trad. respecting alms, means What is over and above that which suffices for the sustenance of the household, or family. (TA.) غُنْوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

غُنْيَةٌ and غِنْيَةٌ: see غِنًى; the former in three places.

غُنْيَانٌ: see غِنًى, latter half, in two places.

غَنَآءٌ: see غِنًى, in two places; and see also 4, former half. A poet says, سَيُغْنِينِى الَّذِى أَغْنَاكَ عَنِّى

فَلَا فَقْرٌ يَدُومُ وَلَا غَنَآءُ [He will render me free from need who has rendered thee free from need of me: for poverty will not always continue, nor competence, or richness]: or, as some relate it, غِنَآءُ, meaning thereby the inf. n. of ↓ غَانَيْتُ: [see 3, above:] but it is said that the proper reading is غَنَآءُ; because this has no other meaning than that of غِنًى: so says ISd. (TA.) b2: مَا فِيهِ غَنَآءُ ذَاكَ means There is not in him [ability for] the setting-up of that, and strength, or power, to bear it, or carry it, or to raise it upon his back and rise with it. (ISd, K, TA.) غِنَآءٌ is an inf. n. of 3. (TA, [See the next preceding paragraph.]) A2: Also, (TA,) [Song, or vocal music; i. e.] an utterance of the voice with a prolonging and a sweet modulation thereof; (K, TA;) or a raising of the voice, and continuing it without interruption; (Nh, TA;) [a singing, and a chanting;] it is said in the S to be مِنَ السَّمَاعِ [meaning that it is a sort of musical performance]: (TA:) being an utterance of the voice, its analogical form would be with damm [i. e. غُنَآءٌ, like حُدَادٌ &c.]: (Msb, TA:) its pl. is أَغْنِيَةٌ: (MA:) [and ↓ مَغْنًى signifies the same as غِنَآءٌ; and a mode of singing; and any particular air, or tune; and a song, i. e. a composition in verse that is sung or to be sung: and its pl. is مَغَانٍ: but perhaps it is post-classical: the pl. occurs in the K, in art. نصب:] غِنَآءٌ [also] signifies [a song, i. e.] poetry, or verse, that is [sung, or chanted, or] uttered with a trilling, or quavering, or a prolonging and a sweet modulation, of the voice; (Har p. 286;) and ↓ أُغْنِيَّةٌ is syn. with غِنَآءٌ (S, Har) in this sense; (Har;) or, as also ↓ إِغْنِيَّةٌ, (Fr, K, TA,) and ↓ each of them also without teshdeed, (K, TA,) as mentioned by ISd, but said by him to be not of valid authority, (TA,) signifies a certain sort of غِنَآء (K, TA) which they sing or chant: (TA:) and the pl. is أَغَانِىُّ (S, TA) [and أَغَانٍ, this latter being the pl. of each sing. that is without teshdeed]. b2: الغِنَآء is also used by a poet in the place of an inf. n., meaning التَّغَنِّى: he says, تَغَنِّ بِالشِّعْرِ إِمَّا كُنْتَ قَائِلَهُ

إِنَّ الغِنَآءَ بهٰذَا الشِعْرِ مِضْمَارُ [Sing thou, or chant thou, the poetry, if thou be uttering it: verily the singing, or chanting, this poetry is a مضمار (expl. in art. ضمر)]. (TA.) غَنِىٌّ and ↓ غَانٍ: see 1, former half; each in two places: both signify [Free from want; or in a state of competence, or sufficiency; or rich, or wealthy; or] possessing much property or wealth: (K, * TA:) pl. of the former أَغْنِيَآءُ. (Msb, TA.) See an ex. of the former in a verse cited above, conj. 6. One says, أَنَا غَنِىٌّ بِكَذَا عَنْ غَيْرِهِ [I am sufficed by such a thing, or satisfied, or content, with it, so as to be free from want of another thing]. (Msb.) b2: الغَنِىُّ as a name of God signifies [The Self-sufficient; i. e.] He who has no need of any one in any thing. (TA.) غَنَّآءٌ A singer; (MA;) [as also ↓ مُغَنٍّ; and مُغَنِّيَةٌ a female singer, a songstress:] accord. to Ibn-Ya'eesh, a ↓ مُغَنٍّ is thus called لِأَنَّهُ يُغَنِّنُ صَوْتَهُ, i. e. because he makes his voice to have in it a غُنَّة [or sort of nasal sound, or twang]; the word being, in his opinion, originally, مُغَنِّنٌ, with three ن, the last of which is changed into ى, when one says المُغَنِّى, for the purpose of alleviating the utterance. (Mughnee, art. حَرْفُ النُّونِ.) غَانٍ: see غَنِىٌّ. b2: [The fem.] غَانِيَةٌ signifies A young woman who is sufficed by her husband; or satisfied, or content, with him, (S, Msb, TA, *) so as to be in no need, or free from want, of any other: (Msb:) and sometimes, also, applied to a woman, (S,) such as is sufficed by her beauty, (S, ISd, K, TA,) so as to be in no need of decoration (ISd, K, TA) with women's ornaments: (ISd, TA:) or such as is sought, or desired, by men, but does not seek, or desire: (ISd, K, * TA:) or such as has abode in the house, or tent, of her father and mother, and whom captivity (سِبَآء) has not befallen; (IJ, ISd, K, * TA;) which is the strangest of the explanations: (TA:) or such as is youthful and chaste, whether having a husband or not: (ISd, K, TA:) or, accord. to AO, one that is married: (Ham p. 226:) or, accord. to Az, such as pleases men, and is pleased by شَبَاب [which means both youthfulness and youths or young men]: (TA:) pl. غَوَانٍ; (K;) with the article, الغَوَانِى; [and also غَانِيَاتٌ: (see an ex. in a verse cited in the second paragraph of art. زج:)] in the saying of Ibn-Er-Rukeiyát, لَا بَارَكَ اللّٰهُ فِى الغَوَانِىِ هَلْ يُصْبِحْنَ إِلَّا لَهُنَّ مُطَّلَبُ [May God not bless those young women that are sufficed by their husbands, or by their beauty, &c.: do they enter upon the time of dawn without their having desire (lit. a time or place, meaning an occasion, of seeking, or desire) ?], the ى is made movent by a poetic license: (S, TA:) and another poet uses الغَوَانِ for الغَوَانِى. (TA.) أَغْنَآءٌ [a pl. of which the sing. is not mentioned,] The أَمْلَاكَات [meaning Goods and chattels, or paraphernalia,] of brides. (Az, K.) أُغْنِيَّةٌ and إِغْنِيَّةٌ, and each of them also without teshdeed: see غِنَآءٌ, latter half.

مَغْنًى: see 4, former half: b2: and غَنًى: b3: and غِنًى, near the end. b4: Also A place in which were its occupants, or inhabitants: (S:) or a place of abode by which its occupants, or inhabitants, were sufficed, or with which they were satisfied, or content, and from which they then departed, or removed: or in a general sense; (K, TA;) a place of abode, absolutely; but this seems to be a distinct application: (TA:) pl. مَغَانٍ; with the article, المَغَانِى. (S, TA.) A2: See also غِنَآءٌ.

مُغْنًى: see 4, former half.

مُغْنٍ [act. part. n. of 4,] A man sufficing, or satisfying, or contenting. (TA.) b2: المُغْنِى as a name of God signifies He who satisfies, or contents, whom He will, of his servants. (TA.) b3: And مُغْنِيَةٌ A woman who satisfies, or contents, her husband, so as to render him in no need of looking at other than her. (Har p. 451.) مَغْنَاةٌ and مُغْنَاةٌ: see 4, former half.

مُغَنٍّ; fem. مُغَنِّيَةٌ see غَنَّآءٌ, in two places.
