درع

1 دَرِعَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. دَرَعٌ, He (a horse, and a sheep or goat,) was black in the head, and white [in the other parts]: or, as some say, was black in the head and neck. (Msb: [in my copy of which is an evident omission, which I have supplied: see أَدْرَعُ.]) [See also دَرَعٌ, below.]2 درّع, inf. n. تَدْرِيعٌ, (S, K,) He clad a man with a دِرْع, (K,) i. e. a درع of iron [or coat of mail]: (TA:) and a woman with a قَمِيص [or shift]. (S, K.) 4 ادرع الشَّهْرُ, (K,) inf. n. إِدْرَاعٌ, (TA,) The month passed its half. (ISh, K.) إِدْرَاعُهُ also signifies The blackness of its first part. (ISh.) 5 تَدَرَّعَ see 8, in three places.8 اِدَّرَعَ He (a man) clad himself with a دِرْعٌ (S K) of iron [i. e. a coat of mail]; (K;) as also ↓ تدرّع. (S, K.) And اِدَّرَعَتْ She (a woman) clad herself with a دِرْع, (S, K,) i. e. a قَمِيص [or shift]. (S, TA.) b2: ادّرع مِدْرَعَةً, and ↓ تدرّعها, and ↓ تَمَدْرَعَهَا, (Kh,) and ↓ تدرّع alone, (S,) and ↓ تَمَدْرَعَ, (S, K,) but this last is of weak authority, (S,) He clad himself with a مِدْرَعَة [q. v.]. (S, K,) b3: ادّرع فُلَانٌ اللَّيْلِ (tropical:) Such a one entered into the darkness of the night, journeying therein; (K, TA;) like اِغْتَمَدَ اللَّيْلَ. (S and L in art. غمد.) Hence the saying, (TA,) شَمِّرْ ذَيْلًا وَادَّرِعْ لَيْلًا (tropical:) Use thou prudence, or precaution, or good judgment, and journey all the night. (S, K.) [See also art. شمر.] b4: ادّرع الخَوْفَ (tropical:) He made fear as it were his innermost garment; by closely cleaving to it. (TA.) Q. Q. 2 تَمَدْرَعَ: see 8, in two places.

دِرْعٌ A coat of mail; syn. زَرَدِّيَةٌ: (IAth, Msb, TA:) [or a coat of defence of any kind; being a term applied in the S and K &c. to a يَلَبَة, i. e. a coat of defence of skins, or of camel's hide:] and also, of plate-armour: (AO, in his book on the دِرْع and بَيْضَة, cited in the TA voce مِغْفَرٌ:) [but the first is the most general, and proper, meaning:] as meaning a دِرْع of iron, it is fem.; (S, Mgh, K *) or mostly so; (Msb;) but sometimes masc.: (K:) AO says that it is masc. and fem.; (S, TA;) and so Lh: (TA:) pl. أَدْرُعٌ and أَدْرَاعٌ and دُرُوعٌ; (S, Msb, K;) the first and second, pls. of pauc.; the third, a pl. of mult. (S.) The dim. is ↓ دُرَيْعٌ, which is anomalous, (S, Msb, K,) for by rule it should be with ة; (S;) or this may be [a regular form] of the dial. of those who make the word masc.; and some say ↓ دُرَيْعَةٌ. (Msb.) b2: Also A woman's قَمِيص [or shift]; (S, Msb, K;) a garment, or piece of cloth, in the middle of which a woman cuts an opening for the head to be put through, and to which she puts arms [or sleeves], and the two openings of which [at the two sides] she sews up: (T, TA:) or a woman's garment which is worn above the قَمِيص: or, accord. to El-Hulwánee, one of which the opening for the head to pass through extends towards, or to, the bosom; whereas the قميص is one of which the slit is towards, or to, the shoulder-joint; but this [says Mtr] I find not in the lexicons: (Mgh:) a small garment which a young girl wears in her house, or chamber, or tent: (TA:) as meaning a woman's دِرْع, it is masc., (Lh, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) only; (Lh;) or sometimes fem.: (TA:) pl. أَدْرَاعٌ. (S, K.) [See a verse cited voce مِجْوَلٌ.]

دَرَعٌ Whiteness in the breast of a sheep, or goat, and in its نَحْر [or part where it is slaughtered, but وَنَحْرِهَا, in the K, is probably a mistranscription, for وَنَحْوِهَا, meaning and the like thereof, i. e., of the sheep, or goat], and blackness in the thigh. (Lth, K.) [See also 1; and see دُرْعَةٌ.]

لَيَالٍ دُرَعٌ: see أَدْرَعُ.

دُرْعَةٌ, in a horse, and in a sheep or goat, Blackness of the head, and whiteness [of the other parts]: or, accord. to some, blackness of the head and neck: a subst. from دَرِعَ [q. v.]. (Msb.) b2: See also أَدْرَعُ, in the middle of the paragraph.

دِرْعِيَّةٌ, applied to an arrow-head or the like, Penetrating into, or piercing through, the coats of mail: pl. دَرَاعِىُّ. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) دُرَيْعٌ and دُرَيْعَةٌ: see دِرْعٌ.

دُرَّاعَةٌ: see مِدْرَعَةٌ, in four places.

دَارِعٌ Having, or possessing, a دِرْع [or coat of mail]: (Mgh:) or a man having upon him a دِرْع; (S, K;) as though having, or possessing, a دِرْع; [being properly a possessive epithet] like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ. (S.) أَدْرَعُ, applied to a horse, and to a sheep or goat, Having a black head, the rest being white: (S, Msb, * K:) or, as some say, having a black head and neck, (Msb, TA,) the rest being white: (TA:) or having a white head and neck, the rest being black: (TA:) fem. دَرْعَآءُ: (S, Msb:) pl. دُرْعٌ: (S:) or دَرْعَآءُ signifies having what is termed دَرَعٌ [q. v.]; applied to a sheep or goat, (K,) and to a mare: (TA:) or a sheep or goat black in the body, and white in the head: or black in the neck and head, the rest of her being white: or, accord. to Az, a ewe having a black neck: or, accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed, sheep or goats differing in colour: or, accord. to ISh, black except in having the neck white: and red [or brown], but having the neck white: and also, having the head with the neck white: accord. to Az, the right explanation is that given by Az, meaning having the fore part black; being likened to the nights termed دُرَعٌ; or the latter are likened to the former: and hence, (TA,) b2: لَيْلَةٌ دَرْعَآءُ (tropical:) A night of which the moon rises at the dawn, (K,) or at the commencement of the dawn; the rest thereof being black, and dark. (TA.) And ↓ لَيَالٍ دُرَعٌ, (S, K,) said by AHát to have been heard by him only on the authority of AO, but so accord. to As and A 'Obeyd and AHeyth, (TA,) and دُرْعٌ; (K;) the former contr. to rule, for by rule it should be دُرْعٌ, its sing. being دَرْعَآءُ; (A 'Obeyd, S;) or, accord. to AHeyth, you say ثَلَاثٌ دُرَعٌ وَثَلَاثٌ ظُلَمٌ, and دُرَعٌ and ظُلَمٌ are pls. of ↓ دُرْعَةٌ and ظُلْمَةٌ, not of دَرْعَآءُ and ظَلْمَآءُ; and Az says that this is correct and regular; but IB says that دَرْعَآءُ has دُرَعٌ for its pl. for the purpose of assimilation to ظُلَمٌ in the saying ثَلَاثٌ ظُلَمٌ وَثَلَاثٌ دُرَعٌ, and that no other instance had been heard by him of a word of the measure فَعْلَآءُ having a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ; (TA;) (tropical:) Three nights of the month which follow those called البِيضُ; (As, S, K; *) namely, the sixteenth and seventeenth and eighteenth nights; (TA;) because of the blackness of their first parts, and the whiteness of the rest thereof: (S, K:) there is no difference in what As and Az and ISh say respecting them: but some say that they are the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth; because part of them is black and part of them white: [this, however, seems to have originated from a misunderstanding of an explanation running thus; three nights of the month which follow those called البِيض, which, meaning the latter, are the thirteenth &c.; for the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth are all white:] or, accord. to AO, اللَّيَالِى الدُّرَعُ signifies the nights of which the fore parts are black and the latter parts white, of the end of the month; and those of which the fore parts are white and the latter parts black, of the commencement of the month. (TA.) b3: أَدْرَعُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) One whose father is free, or an Arab, and whose mother is a slave; syn. هَجِينٌ; (K;) as also مُعَلْهَجٌ. (TA.) And قَوْمٌ دُرْعٌ (tropical:) A people, or company of men, of whom half are white and half black. (TA.) مِدْرَعٌ: see the following paragraph.

مِدْرَعَةٌ A certain garment, [a tunic,] like that called ↓ دُرَّاعَةٌ, never of anything but wool, (Lth, K,) [and having sleeves; for] mention is made, in a trad., of a مدرعة narrow in the sleeve; wherefore the wearer, in performing the ablution termed وُضُوْء, put forth his arm from beneath the مدرعة, and so performed that ablution: (TA:) accord. to some, the ↓ درّاعة is a [garment of the kind called] جُبَّة, slit in the fore part; (TA;) [thus resembling a kind of جُبَّة worn by persons in Northern Africa, reaching to, or below, the knees, and having the two front edges sewed together from the bottom, or nearly so, to about the middle of the breast: it is said in the MA to be a wide vest or shirt; a large جُبَّة: and the مِدْرَعَة is there said to be a woollen دُرَّاعَة; a woollen tunic: El-Makreezee (cited by De Sacy in his “ Chrest. Arabe,” 2nd ed., vol. i., p. 125,) describes the ↓ دراّعة as a garment worn in Egypt particularly by Wezeers, slit in the fore part to near the head of the heart, with buttons and loops: Golius describes it as “ tunica gossipina, fere grossior; ” adding, “estque exterior tum virilis tum muliebris; ” as on the authority of J, who says nothing of the kind, and of the Loghat Neamet-Allah: and as epomis, seu amiculum quod humeris injicitur; on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof: J only says,] the ↓ مِدْرَع and مِدْرَعَة are one; and ↓ دُرَّاعَةٌ is sing. of, or signifies one of what are called, دَرَارِيعُ: (S:) the pl. of مدرعة is مَدَارِعُ. (MA.) A2: Also The [appendage called]

صُفَّة [q. v.] of a رَحْل [or camel's saddle], when the heads of the وَاسِطَة [or fore part (Az says the وَسَط, accord. to the TA,)] and the آخِرَة [or hinder part] appear from [above] it. (K.)

علم الهيئة
ذكره في كشف الظنون ولم يزد على ذلك. وقال في مدينة العلوم: هو علم يعرف منه أحوال الأجرام البسيطة العلوية والسفلية وأشكالها وأوضاعها ومقاديرها وأبعادها.
وموضوعه الأجرام المذكورة من الحيثية المذكورة وقد يذكر هذا العلم تارة مع براهينها الهندسية كما هو الأصل وهذا هو المذكور في المجسطي لبطليموس ولخصه الأبهري وعربه.
ومن الكتب المختصرة: فيه هيئة ابن أفلح.
ومن المبسوطة: القانون المسعودي لأبي ريحان البيروتي وشرح المجسطي للنيروزي وقد تجرد عن البراهين ويقتصر على التصور والتخيل دون اليقين ويسمى هيئة بسيطة.
ومن المختصر فيه: التذكرة لنصير الدين الطوسي.
ومن المتوسط: هيئة العرضي ومن المبسوطة: أيضا التحفة ونهاية الإدراك كلاهما للعلامة قطب الدين الشيرازي.
ومن المختصرة: الملخص المشهور لمحمود الجغميني وعليه شروح منها: شرح لفضل الله العبيدي وكمال الدين الزاكاني والشريف الجرجاني.
وأحسن الشروح شرح الفاضل قاضي زادة الرومي.
ومن المختصرة النافعة فيه: غاية النفع كتاب النخبة لعلي بن محمد القوشجي وعليه شرح لمولانا سنان الدين وشرحه أستاذي محمود بن محمد بن قاضي زاده الرومي وهو ابن بنت المصنف علي بن محمد القوشجي كتبه عند قراءتي عليه الكتاب المذكور وهذا الشرح من أحسن المؤلفات في هذا الفن وكانت القدماء قد اقتصروا في هيئة الأفلاك على الدوائر المجردة وتسمى: هيئة مسطحة وفيه كتاب لأبي علي بن الهيثم انتهى كلامه.
قال في كشاف اصطلاحات الفنون: علم الهيئة: هو من أصول الرياضي وهو علم يبحث فيه عن أحوال الأجرام البسيطة العلوية والسفلية من حيث الكمية والكيفية والوضع والحركة اللازمة لها وما يلزم منها.
فالكمية إما منفصلة: كأعداد الأفلاك وبعض الكواكب دون أعداد العناصر فإنها مأخوذة من الطبعيات وأما متصلة: كمقادير الأجرام والأبعاد واليوم وأجزاءه وما يتركب منها.
وأما الكيفية: فكالشكل إذ تتبين فيه استدارة هذه الأجسام وكلون الكواكب وضوئها.
وأما الوضع: فكقرب الكواكب وبعدها عن دائرة معينة وانتصاب دائرة وميلانها بالنسبة إلى سمت رؤوس سكان الأقاليم وحيلولة الأرض بين النيرين والقمر بين الشمس والأبصار ونحو ذلك.
وأما الحركة فالمبحوث عنه في هذا الفن منها هو قدرها وجهتها.
وأما البحث عن أصل الحركة وإثباتها للأفلاك فمن الطبعيات والمراد باللازمة الدائمة على زعمهم وهي حركات الأفلاك والكواكب واحترز بها عن حركات العناصر كالرياح والأمواج والزلازل فإن البحث عنها من الطبعيات.
وأما حركة الأرض من المغرب إلى المشرق وحركة الهواء بمشايعتها وحركة النار بمشايعة الفلك فمما لم يثبت ولو ثبت فلا يبعد أن يجعل البحث عنها من حيث القدر والجهة من مسائل الهيئة والمراد بما يلزم من الحركة الرجوع والاستقامة التذكرة هذا القيد - أعني قيد ما يلزم منها - والظاهر أنه لا حاجة إليه.
والغرض من قيد الحيثية: الاحتراز عن علم السماء والعالم فإن موضوعه البسائط المذكورة أيضا لكن يبحث فيه عنها لا عن الحيثية المذكورة بل من حيث طبائعها ومواضعها والحكمة في ترتيبها ونضدها وحركاتها إلا باعتبار القدر والجهة.
وبالجملة فموضوع الهيئة الجسم البسيط من حيث إمكان عروض الأشكال والحركات المخصوصة ونحوها وموضوع علم السماء والعالم الذي هو من أقسام الطبعي الجسم البسيط أيضا لكن من حيث إمكان عروض التغير والثبات وإنما زيد لفظ الإمكان إشارة إلى أن ما هو من جزء الموضوع ينبغي أن يكون مسلم الثبوت وهو إمكان العروض لا العروض بالفعل.
وقيل: موضوع كل من العلمين الجسم البسيط من حيث إمكان عروض الأشكال والحركات والتمايز بينهما إنما هو بالبرهان فإن أثبت المطلوب بالبرهان الآني يكون من الهيئة وإن أثبت بالبرهان اللمي يكون من علم السماء والعالم فإن تمايز العلوم كما يكون بتمايز الموضوعات كذلك قد يقع بالمحمولات والقول بأن التمايز في العلوم إنما هو بالموضوع فأمر لم يثبت بالدليل بل هو مجرد رعاية مناسبة.
واعلم أن الناظر في حركات الكواكب وضبطها وإقامة البراهين على أحوالها يكفيه الاقتصار على اعتبار الدوائر ويسمى ذلك هيئة غير مجسمة ومن أراد تصور مبادئ تلك الحركات على الوجه المطابق لقاعد الحكمة فعليه تصور الكرات على وجه تظهر حركات مراكز الكواكب وما يجري مجراها في مناطقها ويسمى ذلك هيئة مجسمة وإطلاق العام على المجسمة مجاز ولهذا قال صاحب التذكرة:
إنها ليست بعلم تام لأن العلوم هو التصديق بالمسائل على وجه البرهان فإذا لم يورد بالبرهان يكون حكاية للمسائل المثبتة بالبرهان في موضع آخر هذا كله خلاصة ما ذكره عبد العلي البرجندي في حواشي شرح الملخص.
والمذكور في علم الهيئة ليس مبينا على المقدمات الطبعية والإلهية وما جرت به العادة من تصدير المصنفين كتبهم بها إنما هو بطريق المتابعة للفلاسفة وليس ذلك أمرا واجبا بل يمكن إثباته من غير ملاحظة الابتناء عليها فإن المذكور فيه بعضه مقدمات هندسية لا يتطرق إليها شبهة مثلا: مشاهدة التشكلات البدرية والهلالية على الوجه المرصود توجب اليقين بان نور القمر مستفاد من نور الشمس وبعضه مقدمات يحكم بها العقل بحسب الأخذ لما هو الأليق والأحرى كما يقولون: إن محدب الحامل يماس محدب الممثل على نقطة مشتركة وكذا مقعره بمقعره ولا مستند لهم غير أن الأولى أن لا يكون في الفلكيات فضل لا يحتاج إليه وكذا الحال في أعداد الأفلاك من أنها تسعة وبعضه مقدمات يذكرونها على سبيل التردد دن الجزم كما يقولون أن اختلاف حركة الشمس بالسرعة والبطء إما بناء على أصل الخارج أو على أصل التدوير من غير جزم بأحدهما فظهر أن ما قيل: من أن إثبات مسائل هذا الفن مبني على أصول فاسدة مأخوذة من الفلاسفة من نفي القادر المختار وعدم تجويز الخرق والالتئام على الأفلاك وغير ذلك ليس بشيء ومنشأه عدم الاطلاع على مسائل هذا الفن ودلائله. وذلك لأن مشاهدة التشكلات البدرية والهلالية على الوجه المرصود توجب اليقين بأن نور القمر حاصل من نور الشمس وإن الخسوف إنما هو بسبب حيلولة الأرض بين النيرين والكسوف إنما هو بسبب حيلولة القمر بين الشمس والبصر مع القول بثبوت القادر المختار ونفي تلك الأصول المذكور فإن ثبوت القادر المختار وانتفاء تلك الأصول لا ينفيان أن يكون الحال ما ذكر غاية الأمر أنهما يجوزان الاحتمالات الآخر مثلا: على تقدير ثبوت القادر المختار يجوز أن يسود القادر بحسب أرادته وينور وجه القمر على ما يشاهد من التشكلات البدرية والهلالية وأيضا يجوز على تقدير الاختلاف في حركات الفلكيات وسائر أحوالها أن يكون أحد نصفي كل من النيرين مضيئا والآخر مظلما ويتحرك النيران على مركزيهما بحيث يصير وجهاهما المظلمان مواجهين لنا في حالتي الخسوف والكسوف إما بالتمام إذا كانا تامين أو بالبعض إن كانا ناقصين وعلى هذا القياس حال التشكلات البدرية والهلالية لكنا نجزم مع قيام الاحتمالات المذكور أن الحال على ما ذكر من استفادة القمر النور من الشمس وأن الخسوف والكسوف بسبب الحيلولة ومثل هذا الاحتمال قائم في العلوم العادية والتجريبية أيضا بل في جميع الضروريات مع أن القادر المختار يجوز أن يجعلها كذلك بحسب إرادته بل على تقدير أن يكون المبدأ موجبا يجوز أن يتحقق وضع غريب من الأوضاع الفلكية فيقتضي ظهور ذلك الأمر الغريب على مذهب القائلين بالإيجاب من استناد الحوادث إلى الأوضاع الفلكية وغير ذلك مما هو مذكور في شبه القادحين في الضروريات.
ولو سلم أن إثبات مسائل هذا الفن يتوقف على تلك الأصول الفاسدة فلا شك أنه إنما يكون ذلك إذا ادعى أصحاب هذا الفن أنه لا يمكن إلا على الوجه الذي ذكرنا.
أما إذا كان دعواهم أنه يمكن أن يكون على ذلك الوجه ويمكن أن يكون على الوجوه الآخر فلا يتصور التوقف حينئذ وكفى بهم فضلا أنهم تخيلوا من الوجوه الممكنة ما تنضبط به أحوال تلك الكواكب مع كثرة اختلافاتها على وجه تيسر لهم أن يعينوا مواضع تلك الكواكب واتصالات بعضها ببعض في كل وقت وأرادوا بحيث يطابق الحس والعيان مطابقة تتحير فيها العقول والأذهان كذا في شرح التجريد وهكذا يستفاد من شرح المواقف في موقف الجواهر في آخر بيان محدد الجهات.
وفي إرشاد القاصد الهيئة: وهو علم تعرف به أحوال الأجرام البسيطة العلوية والسفلية وأشكالها وأوضاعها وأبعاد ما بينها وحركات الأفلاك والكواكب ومقاديرها.
وموضوعه: الأجسام المذكورة من حيث كميتها وأوضاعها وحركاتها اللازمة لها.
وأما العلوم المتفرعة عليه فهي خمسة وذلك لأنه إما أن يبحث عن إيجاد ما تبرهن بالفعل أولا.
الثاني: كيفية.
الأرصاد والأول: إما حساب الأعمال أو التوصل إلى معرفتها بالآلات.
فالأول منهما: إن اختص بالكواكب المجردة فهو علم الزيجات والتقاويم وإلا فهو علم المواقيت.
والآلات: إما شعاعية أو ظلية فإن كانت شعاعية فهو علم تسطيح الكرة وإن كانت ظلية فعلم الآلات الظلية وقد ذكرنا هذه العلوم في هذا الكتاب على نهج الترتيب المختار فيه.
وقال ابن خلدون: هو علم ينظر في حركات الكواكب الثابتة والمتحركة والمتحيرة ويتسدل بكيفيات تلك الحركات على أشكال وأوضاع للأفلاك لزمت عنها هذه الحركات المحسوسة بطرق هندسة كما يبرهن على أن مركز الأرض مبائن لمركز فلك الشمس بوجود حركة الــإقبال والأدبار وكما يستدل بالرجوع والاستقامة للكواكب على وجود أفلاك صغيرة حاملة لها متحركة داخل فلكها الأعظم وكما يبرهن على وجود الفلك الثامن بحركة الكواكب الثابتة وكما يبرهن على تعدد الأفلاك للكوكب الواحد بتعدد الميلول له وأمثال ذلك وإدراك الموجود من الحركات وكيفياتها وأجناسها إنما هو بالرصد فإنا إنما علمنا حركة الــإقبال والأدبار به وكذا ترتيب الأفلاك في طبقاتها وكذا الرجوع والاستقامة وأمثال ذلك.
وكان اليونانيون يعتنون بالرصد كثيرا ويتخذون له الآلات التي توضع ليرصد بها حركة الكوكب المعين وكانت تسمى عندهم: ذات الحلق وصناعة عملها والبراهين عليه في مطابقة حركتها بحركة الفلك منقول بأيدي الناس.
وأما في الإسلام: فلم تقع به عناية إلا في القليل وكان في أيام المأمون شيء منه وصنع الآلة المعروفة للرصد المسماة: ذات الحلق وشرع في ذلك فلم يتم ولما مات ذهب رسمه وأغفل واعتمد من بعده على الأرصاد القديمة وليست بمغنية لاختلاف الحركات باتصال الأحقاب.
وإن مطابقة حركة الآلة في الرصد بحركة الأفلاك والكواكب إنما هو بالتقريب ولا يعطى التحقيق فإذا طال الزمان ظهر تفاوت ذلك بالتقريب.
وهذه الهيئة صناعة شريفة وليست على ما يفهم في المشهور إنها تعطي صورة السموات وترتيب الأفلاك والكواكب بالحقيقة بل إنما تعطي أن هذه الصور والهيئات للأفلاك لزمت عن هذه الحركات وأنت تعلم أنه لا يبعد أن يكون الشيء الواحد لازما لمختلفين وإن قلنا:
إن الحركات لازمة فهو استدلال باللازم على وجود الملزوم ولا يعطي الحقيقة بوجه على أنه علم جليل وهو أحد أركان التعاليم.
ومن أحسن التآليف فيه: كتاب المجسطي منسوب لبطليموس وليس من ملوك اليونان الذين أسماهم بطليموس على ما حققه شراح الكتاب وقد اختصره الأئمة من حكماء الإسلام كما فعله ابن سينا وأدرجه في تعاليم الشفاء ولخصه ابن رشد أيضا من حكماء الأندلس وابن السمح وابن الصلت في كتاب الاقتصار ولابن الفرغاني هيئة ملخصة قربها وحذف براهينها الهندسية والله علم الإنسان ما لم يعلم سبحانه لا إله إلا هو رب العلمين انتهى كلام ابن خلدون. وقد بسطنا القول في الهيئة في كتابنا لقطة العجلان فمن شاء أن يطلع عليه فعليه به والله الموفق.

(TA.) 3 مُدَاعَاةٌ signifies (tropical:) The proposing an enigma or enigmas to a person; or the contending with another in doing so; syn. مُحَاجَاةٌ. (S, K, TA.) You say, دَاعَيْتُهُ (tropical:) I proposed to him an enigma or enigmas; &c. (TA.)

(K.) b3: دَاعَيْنَا الحَائِطَ عَلَيْهِمْ (tropical:) We pulled down, or demolished, the wall upon them, from the sides [or foundations] thereof. (K, * TA.) b4: [Golius assigns other significations to دَاعَى, for which I find no authority: namely, “Convocavit ad Deum propheta, præco sacer,” followed by an accus.: and “ Contendit contra alium: Provocavit: pecul. rem vindicans sibi vel arrogans. ”]4 أَدْعَاهُ [so in some copies of the K; in other copies ↓ اِدَّعَاهُ; the former of which I regard as the right reading;] He made him to assert his relationship as a son [for يُدْعَى, in my copies of the K, I read ↓ يَدَّعِى, syn. with يَعْتَزِى,] to one who was not his father. (K.) [SM, who appears to have read ↓ اِدَّعَاهُ, says that it is like اِسْتَلْحَقَهُ and اِسْتَلَاطَهُ.]5 التَّدَعِّى [inf. n. of تَدَعَّتْ] signifies The تَطْرِيب [or singing, or quavering or trilling and prolonging of the voice, or prolonging and modulating of the voice,] of a woman wailing for the dead.

You say, تَدَاعَوْ لِلْحَرْبِ [They called, summoned, or convoked, one another for war: and hence,] (assumed tropical:) they prepared themselves for war. (TA.) And تَدَاعَوْا عَلَيْهِ, (Msb, K,) or عَلَى بَنِى فُلَانٍ, (T, M,) They collected themselves together, (K,) or called one another so that they assembled together, (M,) or leagued together, and called one another to mutual aid, (T, Msb, *) against him, (Msb, K,) or against the sons of such a one. (T, M.) and تَدَاعَى عَلَيْهِ العَدُوُّ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ (assumed tropical:) The enemy advanced against him from every side.

(Mgh.) And تداعى said of a sand-hill, (assumed tropical:) It, being put in notion, or shaken in its lower part, poured down. (Msb.) And [hence,] تَدَاعَتْ إِبِلُ بَنِى فُلَانٍ (tropical:) (tropical:) The camels of such a one became broken by emaciation. (TA.) b3: تَدَاعَوْ بِالأَلْقَابِ They called one another by surnames, or nicknames. (Msb.) b4: التَّدَاعِى also signifies (assumed tropical:) The trying one another with an enigma or enigmas; or contending, one with another, in proposing an enigma or enigmas; syn. التَّحَاجِى.

(Har p. 446.) b6: See also 8, in two places.

A2: [It is also used transitively:] you say, تَدَاعَوُا القَوْمَ They [together] called the people. (Mgh in art. نقض. [See 6 in that art.]) 7 اندعى i. q. أَجَابَ. (K.) Akh heard one or more of the Arabs say, لَوْدَعَوْنَا لَانْدَعَيْنَا, meaning لَأَجُبْنَا [i. e. Had they called us, &c., we had certainly answered, or replied, or assented, or consented]. (S.) 8 اِدَّعَى He asserted a thing to be his, or to belong to him, or to be due to him, either truly or falsely: (K, * TA:) he claimed a thing; laid claim to it; or demanded it for himself: and he desired a thing; or wished for it. (Msb.) and اِدَّعَوُا الشَّىْءَ and الشىء ↓ تَدَاعَوُا signify the same [i. e. They claimed the thing, every one of them for himself]. (Mgh.) You say, اِدَّعَيْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ كَذَا [I asserted myself to have a claim upon such a one for such a thing; preferred a claim against such a one for such a thing; or claimed of such a one such a thing]. (S.) And اِدَّعَى زَيْدٌ عَلَى عَمْرو مَالًا [Zeyd asserted himself to have a claim upon 'Amr for property; or preferred a claim against 'Amr &c.]. (Mgh.) And اِدَّعَيْتَ عَلَىَّ مَا لَمْ أَفْعَلْ [Thou hast asserted against me, or charged against me, or accused me of, that which I have not done]. (S and K in art. شرب, and S in art. اكل.) هٰذَا الَّذِى كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ, in the Kur [lxvii. 27], means This is that on account of which ye used to assert vain and false things: or which ye used to deny, or disbelieve: or, accord. to Fr, the latter verb may here be used in the sense of تَدْعُونَ; and the meaning may be, this is that which ye desired to hasten, and for which ye prayed to God in the words of the Kur [viii. 32], “O God, if this be the truth from Thee, then rain Thou upon us stones from Heaven, or bring upon us some [other] painful punishment: ” it may be from الدُّعَآءُ: and it may be from الدَّعْوَى: (TA:) [i. e.] it means this is that which ye used to demand, and desire to hasten; from الدُّعَآءُ: or that which ye used to assert, [namely,] that there will be no raising to life; from الدَّعْوَى. (Bd.) And وَلَهُمْ مَا يَدَّعُونَ, in the Kur [xxxvi. 57], is explained as meaning and they shall have what they desire, or wish for; which is referrible to the meaning of الدُّعَآءُ. (TA.) b2: You say also, اِدَّعَى غَيْرَ أَبِيهِ [He asserted the relationship of father to him of one who was not his father; or claimed as his father one who was not his father]. (T, Mgh, Msb.) And يَدَّعِى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ [He asserts his relationship as a son, or claims the relationship of a son, to one who is not his father]. (T, Msb. See 4, in three places.) And يَدَّعِيهِ غَيْرُ أَبِيهِ [One who is not his father asserts him to be his son; or claims him as his son]. (T, Msb.) الاِدِّعَآءُ in war signifies The asserting one's relationship; syn. الاِعْتِزَآءُ; (S, TA;) as also ↓ التَّدَاعِى; (TA;) i. e. the saying “ I am such a one the son of such a one. ” (S.) And [hence] sometimes it includes the meaning of Informing, or telling; and therefore بِ may be prefixed to its objective complement; so that one says, فُلَانٌ يَدَّعِى بِكَرَمِ فِعَالِهِ, i. e. Such a one informs of the generosity of his deeds. (Msb.) 10 إِسْتَدْعَوَ see 1, near the middle of the paragraph. b2: [Hence, استدعى signifies also It called for, demanded, required, or invited, a thing. See also دَعَابِهِ.]

دَعْوَةٌ [as an inf. n. of un.] signifies A single time or act (S, Msb) [of prayer and of imprecation, as is indicated in the S, and also, though less plainly, in the TA]. See دُعَآءٌ. b2: [Also, as such, A call.] You say, هُوَمِنِّى دَعْوَةُ الرَّجُلَ (K, TA) and الكَلْبِ, and دَعْوَةَ الرَّجُلِ and الكَلْبِ, in the former case دعوة being used as a simple subst., and in the latter case as an adv. n., (TA,) meaning قَدْرُ مَا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُ ذَاكَ [i. e. He, or it, is distant from me the space of the call of the man and of the dog]. (K, TA.) And لَهُمُ الدَّعْوَةُ عَلَى

غَيْرِهِمْ The call is to them before the others of them: (K, TA: [يَبْدَأُ in the CK is a mistake for يُبْدَأُ:]) accord. to the T and the Nh, in the case of gifts, or pay, or salary. (TA.) b3: The call to prayer: whence, in a trad., الدَّعُوَةُ فِى الحَبَشَةِ [meaning The office of calling to prayer rests among the Abyssinians]; (JM, TA;) said by the Prophet in preference of his مُؤَذِّن Bilál. (JM.) b4: A call, or an invitation, to El-Islám. (Mgh.) Yousay, أَدْعُوكَ بِدَعْوَةِ الإِسْلَامِ and السلام ↓ دِعَايَةِ and الاسلام ↓ دَاعِيَةِ, meaning I call thee, or invite thee, by the declaration of the faith whereby the people of false religions are called: دَاعِيَةٌ being an inf. n. syn. with دَعْوَةٌ, like عَافِيَةٌ and عَاقِبَةٌ: (JM:) دَعْوَةُ الإِسْلَامِ and ↓ دَعايَتُهُ and ↓ دَاعِيَتُهُ signify the same: and دَعْوَةُ الحَقِّ [in like manner] means the declaration that there is no deity but God. (TA.) b5: An invitation to food, (S, M, Msb, K, TA,) and to beverage; or, accord. to Lh, specially a repast, feast, or banquet, on the occasion of a wedding or the like: (TA:) thus pronounced by most of the Arabs, except 'Adee of Er-Rabáb, who pronounce it, in this sense, ↓ دِعْوَةٌ: (A 'Obeyd, S, M, Msb:) it is an inf. n. in this sense, (S,) or a simple subst.: (Msb:) and ↓ دُعْوَةٌ signifies the same; (K;) or, as some say, this, which is given as on the authority of Ktr, is a mistake: (TA:) and so does ↓ مَدْعَاةٌ [app. an inf. n.]. (S, Msb, K.) You say, كُنَّافِى

دَعْوَةِ فُلَانٍ and ↓ مَدْعَاتِهِ, meaning [We were included in] the invitation (دُعَآء [see 1]) of such a one to food: (S, Msb: [but in the latter, نَحْنُ, in the place of كُنَّا:]) [or we were at the repast, or feast, or banquet, of such a one; for] you say [also] دَعَاهُ إِلَى الدَّعْوَةِ and ↓ الى المَدْعَاةِ [He invited him to the repast, or feast, or banquet: and in this sense دَعْوَة is commonly used in the present day]. (MA.) b6: See also دِعْوَةٌ: b7: and دَعْوَى. b8: Also i. q. حَلِفٌ or حَلْفٌ (accord. to different copies of the K) [both in the sense of Confederation to aid or assist]: (K, TA:) [whence] one says, دَعْوَةٌ فُلَانٍ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ

[meaning The confederation of such a one is with the sons of such a one]. (TA.) دُعْوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

دِعْوَةٌ respects relationship, (S, Msb,) like ↓ دَعْوَى or دَعْوَى فِى النَّسَبِ; (S;) meaning A claim in respect of relationship; (K;) [i. e.] one's claiming as his father a person who is not his father; (Az, Mgh, Msb;) [in other words,] one's claiming the relationship of a son to a person who is not his father: or one's being claimed as a son by a person who is not his father: (Az, Msb:) thus pronounced by most of the Arabs, except 'Adee of Er-Rabáb, who pronounce it, in this sense, ↓ دَعْوَةٌ. (S, Msb.)

دَعْوَى: see دُعَآءٌ, in five places. b2: Also a subst. from 8; (S, M, Mgh, Msb, TA;) omitted in the K, though better known than the sun; (TA;) and so ↓ دَعَاوَةٌ (M, Msb, K) and ↓ دِعَاوَةٌ and ↓ دِعْوَةٌ, (M, K,) accord. to the general pronunciation, (M, TA,) and ↓ دَعْوَةٌ, (M, K,) accord. to the pronunciation of 'Adee of Er-Rabáb, (M, TA,) and ↓ دَاعِيَةٌ; (TA, there said to be syn. with دَعْوَى;) [meaning An assertion that a thing belongs to one, or is due to one; a claim; as is indicated in the S and Mgh and K &c.;] a demand; a suit; (Yz, Az, Msb;) whether true or false: (Mgh, K, TA:) the pl. of دَعْوَى is دَعَاوٍ and دَعَاوَى; the former of which is preferable accord. to some, being, as IJ says, the original form; but some say that the latter is preferable: (Msb:) [the latter only is mentioned in the Mgh:] the alif in the sing. [written ى] is a sign of the fem. gender; and therefore the word is without tenween. (Mgh.) Yz mentions the sayings, لِى فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ دَعْوَى I have, in respect of this thing, [a claim or] a demand, and دَعَاوَى or دَعَاوٍ [claims or] demands, as written in different copies. (Az, Msb.) And لَوْ أُعْطِىَ النَّاسُ بِدَعَاوِيهِمْ [If men were given according to their claims, or demands,] occurs in a trad. (Msb.) b3: See also دِعْوَةٌ.

دُعْوِىٌّ is a word used only in negative sentences: (S:) you say, مَا بِالدَّارِ دُعْوِىٌّ There is not in the house any one: (S, K: *) Ks says that it is from دَعَوْتُ, and [properly] means لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَنْ يَدْعُو [there is not in it one who calls, &c.]. (S.) دُعَآءٌ is an inf. n. of 1; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ دَعْوَى: (K:) the former is originally دُعَاوٌ: (S:) [both, used as simple substs., signify A prayer, or supplication, to God:] and the pl. of the former is أَدْعِيَةٌ. (S.) IF says that some of the Arabs, for ↓ دَعْوَةٌ, say ↓ دَعْوَى, with the fem. alif [written ى]. (Msb, TA.) One says, اَللّٰهُمَّ المُسْلِمِينَ ↓ أَشْرِكْنَا فِى دَعْوَى, meaning [O God, make us to share] in the prayer (دُعَآء) of the Muslims. (TA.) And hence, in the Kur [x. 10], فِيهَا سُبْحَانَك اللّٰهُمَّ ↓ دَعْوَاهُمْ [Their prayer in it shall be سبحانك اللّٰهمّ]. (TA.) [دُعَآءٌ followed by لِ signifies An invocation of good, a blessing, or a benediction: followed by عَلَى, an imprecation of evil, a curse, or a malediction.] سُورَهُ الدُّعَآءِ is a title of The first chapter of the Kur-án.

Belief; particularly in God, and in his word and apostles &c.: faith: &c.]: a meaning mentioned by the Expositors of El-Bukháree.

(TA.) دَعِىٌّ One invited to a repast: pl. دُعَوَآءُ; as in the saying عِنْدَهُ دُعَوَآءُ [With him, or at his abode, are guests invited to a repast].

(Jel.) b3: And One whose origin, or lineage, or parentage, is suspected; (K, TA;) as also ↓ مَدْعِىٌّ: pl. of the former as in the next preceding sentence. (TA.) دَعَاوَةٌ and دِعَاوَةٌ: see دَعْوَى.

(Msb, TA.) [Hence,] دَاعِى اللّٰهِ [God's summoner, or inviter; i. e.] the prophet: (K:) and also, (Msb, K,) or simply الدَّاعِى, (TA,) The مُؤَذِّن [or summoner to prayer]. (Msb, K, TA.) [Hence also, دَاعِى المَنَايَا The summoner of death, lit. of deaths; like طَارِقُ المَنَايَا] b2: See also the next paragraph, in two places. b3: Also A punisher. (TA.) دَاعِيَةٌ: see دَعْوَةٌ, in two places: b2: and see also دَعْوَى. b3: دَاعِيَّةٌ اللَّبَنِ The remainder of the milk, (K,) or what is left, of the milk, in the udder, (S, Mgh,) that draws, or attracts, (K,) or in order that it may draw, or attract, (S, Mgh,) what is to come after it; (S, Mgh, K; *) as also اللَّبَنِ ↓ دَاعِى, occurring in a trad., where it is said, دَعْ دَاعِىَ اللَّبَنِ [Leave thou the remainder of the milk, in the udder, that is to draw, or attract, what is to come after it]; (S, Mgh;) i. e. do not exhaust it entirely. (Mgh.) b4: Hence, دَاعِيَةٌ is metaphorically applied to signify (tropical:) A mean, or means; a cause; or a motive; (Har p. 306;) [as also ↓ دَاعٍ, often used in these senses in the present day;] and so, in an intensive sense, ↓ مَدْعَاةٌ [properly signifying a cause of drawing, attracting, or inducing, &c., originally مَدْعَوَةٌ, being a noun of the same class as مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ]: (Idem p. 86:) [the pl. of the first is دَوَاعٍ.] b5: Also (assumed tropical:) The cry of horsemen in battle; (K;) as being a call to him who will aid, or succour.
