عصب

1 عَصَبَ, aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. عَصْبٌ, (S, A, Mgh, O, K,) He twisted [a thing], or wound [it] round: (A, K, TA:) this is the primary signification: (TA:) and he folded [it]; (A, K;) or he folded [it] tightly: (S, O, TA:) and he bound [it], or tied [it]: (A, Mgh, K, TA:) عَصْبٌ denotes the binding, or tying, a thing with another thing, lengthwise, or [more commonly] around. (O.) See also 2, first sentence. [And see مَعْصُوبٌ.] b2: He twisted, or spun, thread. (K, * TA.) And He put together thread, and bound it, previously to dyeing it. (TA.) b3: عَصَبَ الكَبْشَ, (S, O, Msb, K, *] aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (S, Msb, K,) He bound, or tied, (tightly, TA) the testicles of the ram, in order that they might fall, without his extracting them: (S, O, Msb, K:) and in like manner one says of a goat, (K,) and of other beasts. (TA.) b4: عَصَبَ النَّاقَةَ, (O, Msb, K, *) aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (Msb, K, TA,) and عِصَابٌ also; (TA;) and ↓ اعتصبها; (O, K;) He bound the thighs of the she-camel, (Msb, K, TA,) or the lower parts of her nostrils, (TA,) with a cord, (Msb, TA,) in order that she might yield her milk copiously: (Msb, K, TA:) and (O) عَصَبَ فَخِذَ النَّاقَةِ [He bound the thigh of the she-camel] for that purpose. (S, O.) [See عَصُوبٌ.] Hence one says, أَعْطَى عَلَى العَصْبِ (tropical:) He gave by means of force. (TA.) And مِثْلِى لَا يَدِرُّ بِالعِصَابِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one as I am will not give by means of force. (A, TA.) b5: عَصَبَتْ فَرْجَهَا She (a woman) bound her vulva with a bandage. (Msb.) b6: عَصَبَ الشَّجَرَةَ, (S, O, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. عَصْبٌ, (K,) He drew together the branches of the tree (S, O, K, TA) that were straggling, (K, TA,) by means of a rope, (TA,) and then beat it, (S, O, K, TA,) in order that its leaves might fall. (S, O, TA.) [Golius assigns this signification also to عَصَّبَ, as on the authority of the S, in which I do not find it.] El-Hajjáj said, (S, TA,) when preaching to the people at El-Koofeh, (TA,) لَأَعْصِبَنَّكُمْ عَصْبَ السَّلَمِ (S) or السَّلَمَةِ (TA) [I will assuredly draw you together and beat you as one does the selem or the selemeh]. The سَلَمَة is a tree of the kind called عِضَاه, having thorns, and its leaves are the قَرَظ with which hides are tanned: [but see قَرَظٌ:] the removal of the leaves with the hand being difficult on account of the many thorns, its branches are drawn together and bound tightly with a rope; then the beater pulls them towards him, and beats them with his staff; whereupon the leaves become scattered for the cattle and for him who desires to gather them. (TA.) Or this is done, (S, O, TA,) accord. to A 'Obeyd, (S, O,) only (TA) when they desire to cut down the selemeh, that they may get at the stock. (S, O, TA.) [Hence,] one says, فُلَانٌ لَا تُعْصَبُ سَلَمَاتُهُ [Such a one will not have his selemehs bound round with a rope, and beaten]: a prov., applied to a strong, mighty man, not to be subdued nor abased. (A, * TA.) And one says also of winds, تَعْصِبُ الشَّجَرَ عِنْدَ دُرُوجِهَا فِيهِ (assumed tropical:) [They compress the branches of the trees, as though they bound them round, in their passage among them]: and such winds are termed ↓ عَصَائِبُ. (O.) And عَصَبَ القَوْمَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَصْبٌ, (assumed tropical:) It (an affair, or event,) drew the people together, and became severe to them. (Az, TA.) b7: عَصَبَ صَدْعَ الزُجَاجَةِ بِضَبَّةٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ He (a smith) repaired the crack of the glass vessel by putting round it a band of silver. (O, TA.) b8: عَصَبَ بِرَأْسِ قَوْمِهِ العَارَ (assumed tropical:) He made disgrace to befall his people [as though he bound it upon the head of their chief or upon the head of each of them]. (O.) It is related in a trad. respecting the battle of Bedr, that 'Otbeh the son of Rabee'ah said, اِرْجِعُوا وَلَا تُقَاتِلُوا وَاعْصِبُوهَا بِرَأْسِى (assumed tropical:) [Return ye, and fight not; and bind it upon my head]; meaning attach and attribute to me the disgrace that will befall you for relinquishing the battle and inclining to peace. (IAth, TA.) And it is said in another trad., قُومُوا بِمَا عَصَبَكُمْ بِهِ (assumed tropical:) Fulfil ye the obligations with which He (meaning God) has bound you; or which He has imposed upon you and attached to you; by his commands and prohibitions. (TA.) b9: عَصَبَ الشَّىْءَ and عَلَى

الشَّىْءِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَصْبٌ and عِصَابٌ, He grasped the thing with his hand. (K, * TA.) A poet, cited by IAar, says, وَكُنَّا يَا قُرَيْشُ إِذَا عَصَبْنَا يَجِىْءُ عِصَابُنَا بِدَمٍ عَبِيطِ [And we were, O Kureysh, when we grasped our opponents, such that our grasping brought fresh blood]; عِصَابُنَا meaning our grasping those whom we opposed with the swords. (TA.) b10: and عَصَبَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَصْبٌ, He clung, or kept, to a thing. (K.) One says, عَصَبَ المَآءَ He kept to, or by, the water. (IAar, TA.) And عَصَبَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْتَهُ The man remained, or stayed, in his house, or tent, not quitting it. (O, TA.) b11: And He went round, encompassed, or surrounded, a thing. (K.) It is said in a trad., of the angel Gabriel, on the day of Bedr, قَدْ عَصَبَ رَأْسَهُ الغُبَارُ The dust had overspread, [or surrounded,] and clung to, his head: or, as some relate it, قَدْ عَصَمَ ثَنِيَّتَيْهِ الغُبَارُ; and if this be not a mistake, the latter verb is syn. with the former: ب and م being often interchangeable: (L, TA:) the latter phrase means, as also with عَصَبَ, the dust had stuck to his two central incisors. (TA in art. عصم.) And Ibn Ahmar says, إِذْ عَصَبَ النَّاسَ شَمَالٌ وَقُرٌ [وَقُرْ being for وَقُرٌّ] i. e. When north wind and cold environ me. (L, TA.) And one says also, عَصَبَ الغُبَارُ بِالجَبَلِ The dust encompassed, or surrounded, the mountain. (L, TA.) And عَصَبُوا بِهِ They encompassed, or surrounded, him: (S, A, Mgh, O, TA:) and they encompassed, or surrounded, him, looking at him: (S, O:) and, (Msb, K,) as also عَصِبُوا, (K,) aor. of the former عَصِبَ, (Msb, K,) and inf. n. عَصْبٌ, (Msb,) and aor. of the latter عَصَبَ, (K,) they assembled around him (Msb, K) for fight or defence. (Msb. For another explanation of عَصَبَ and عَصِبَ, see 12.) And عَصَبَ القَوْمُ بِالنَّسَبِ i. q. أَحَاطُوا بِهِ [app. meaning The people, or party, included, or comprehended, the relations, or kinsmen; for النَّسَبُ is often used for ذَوُو النَّسَبِ]. (Msb.) and عَصَبَتِ الإِبِلُ بِالمَآءِ The camels surrounded, or encircled, the water. (S, O.) b12: عَصَبَ الرِّيقُ بِفِيهِ, (S, O, K, * TA,) aor. ـِ inf. n. عَصْبٌ; (K, TA;) and عَصِبَ, aor. ـَ (TA;) The saliva became dry in his mouth. (S, O, K, * TA.) And عَصَبَ الرِّيقُ فَاهُ (S, O, TA) The saliva by its drying made his mouth dry: and the saliva adhered to his mouth. (TA.) Aboo-Mohammad El-Fak'asee says, يَعْصِبُ فَاهُ الرِّيقُ أَىَّ عَصْبِ عَصْبَ الجُبَابِ بِشَفَاهِ الوَطْبِ

[The saliva makes his mouth dry, with what a drying ! as the drying of the spume of camels' milk on the lips of the skin]. (S, O.) and عَصَبَ فُوهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَصْبٌ, His mouth, with his saliva, became dry. (O.) And عَصَبَ الفَمُ, (K, * TA,) aor. ـِ inf. n. عَصْبٌ and عُصُوبٌ, meaning [The mouth, or teeth, (the latter accord. to the explanation in the K,)] became foul, or dirty, from dust and the like, (K, TA,) as from vehement thirst, or fear. (TA.) b13: عَصَبَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عُصُوبٌ, He was, or became, [hungry; or] very hungry; or his bowels were almost dried up with hunger: because it is said of the practice of a hungry man's binding round his belly, as expl. voce مَعْصُوبٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) b14: عَصَبَ الأُفُقُ The horizon became red. (S, O. [In Freytag's Lex. عَصِبَ, as from the K, in which I do not find it. See عَصْبٌ.]) A2: عَصِبَ, (S, O, K,) with kesr, (S, O,) like فَرِحَ, (K,) said of flesh, or flesh-meat, It had many عَصَبَ [i. e. sinews, or tendons]. (S, O, K.) b2: And عَصِبَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. عَصْبٌ, [so in the TA, and so in a verse there cited, not عَصَبٌ,] He was, or became, firm and compact in flesh. (TA.) b3: [Other meanings of this verb have been mentioned above.]2 عصّب, (S, A, O, &c.,) inf. n. تَعْصِيبٌ, (S, A, O,) [He bound, or wound round, a thing with several circumvolutions:] he bound [or wound round] a man's head with a turban, fillet, bandage, or the like; (S, * O, * Msb, K, * TA;) as also ↓ عَصَبَ, inf. n. عَصْبٌ: (MA:) and he bound a broken limb, or a wound, with a piece of rag or a bandage. (L, TA.) He turbaned a man; attired him with a turban. (A, TA.) b2: Hence, (A, O,) تَعْصِيبٌ signifies (tropical:) [The crowning a man: (see the pass. part. n.:)] the making a man a chief: (A, O, K, TA:) for turbans are the crowns of the Arabs: (O:) when a man's people made him a chief, they bound his head with a turban: (A, TA:) as kings wore crowns, so the chiefs of the Arabs wore red turbans: (L, TA:) there were brought to the desert, from Haráh (هَرَاة), red turbans, which the nobles among the Arabs wore. (Az, TA.) b3: [Hence also,] عصّبهُ بِالسَّيْفِ i. q. عَمَّمَهُ بِهِ (assumed tropical:) [He cut, or wounded, him in the place of the turban, with the sword]. (A, TA.) b4: And عصّبهُ, inf. n. as above, He, or it, [caused him to bind his waist by reason of hunger: (see the pass. part. n.:) and hence,] made him to hunger: (K:) and عَصَّبَتْهُمُ السِّنُونَ The years of drought, or sterility, made them to hunger: (TA:) or عصّبتهُ السِّنُونَ The years of drought, or sterility, ate up his property, or cattle.

(TA.) b5: And He called him مُعَصَّب [meaning poor]: so says IAar; and he cites as an ex., يُدْعَى المُعَصَّبَ مَنْ قَلَّتْ حَلُوبَتُهُ وَهَلْ يُعَصَّبُ مَاضِى الهَمِّ مِقْدَامُ [He is called the poor, whose milch-cattle have become few: but should one whose purpose is effectual, one of great boldness, be called poor?]. (TA.) b6: الذَّكَرُ يُعَصِّبُ الأُنْثَى means The male makes the female to be such as is termed عَصَبَةٌ [by his being consociated with her as such]. (Mgh.) 4 أَعْصَبَ see 12. b2: [Golius explains this v. as meaning “ Firmiter religavit: ” or, as a trans. v. governing an accus., “constringi jussit: ” as on the authority of the S, in which I do not find it in any sense.]5 تعصّب i. q. شَدَّ العِصَابَةَ [i. e. He bound the turban, or fillet, round his (own) head; a meaning well known, whence that explained in the next sentence: (see also 8:) and he bound a bandage of some kind round his (own) body, by reason of hunger: see مُعَصَّبٌ]. (S, O, Msb, * K.) b2: And (assumed tropical:) He was made a chief; quasi-pass. of 2 [q. v.]. (L, TA.) b3: And it has also another signification, from العَصَبِيَّة; (S, O;) [i. e.] it signifies also أَتَى بِالعَصَبِيَّةِ; (K, TA;) which means [He aided his people, or party, against hostile conduct: or he was angry, or zealous, for the sake of his party, and defended them: (see عَصَبِىٌّ and عَصَبِيَّةٌ:) or] he invited, or summoned, others to the aid of his party, and to combine, or league, with them against those who acted towards them with hostility, whether they were wrongdoers or wronged.

(TA.) [See also De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., see. ed., i. 445-6; where it is shown that التَّعَصُّبُ in religion means The being zealous, or a zealot: and see Har pp.423 and 573.] b4: And تعصّب بِالشَّىْءِ He was, or became, content with the thing; as also ↓ اعتصب.

(TA.) And اعصوصبت الإِبِلُ The camels strove, or exerted themselves, in journeying, or pace; as also ↓ اعصبت: and collected themselves together; (K;) [and] so ↓ عَصَبَت and ↓ عَصِبَت: (Fr, S, O:) or collected themselves together so as to become one عِصَابَة, and strove, or exerted themselves, in journeying, or pace.

(MF, TA.) b4: Hence, (assumed tropical:) Clouds like such as are termed لَطْخ [q. v.]: (S, O:) or red clouds or mist (K, TA) seen in the western horizon (TA) in a time of drought, or sterility; as also ↓ عِصَابَةٌ, (K, TA,) pl. عَصَائِبُ. (TA.) A2: In a trad., mention occurs of a necklace made of عَصْب: ElKhattábee says, if it do not mean the garments of El-Yemen, I know not what it is; yet I see not how a necklace can be made of these: Aboo-Moosà thinks it may be عَصَب, meaning the tendons of joints, as they may have taken the tendons of certain clean animals, and cut them in pieces, and made them like beads, and, when dry, made neck laces of them; but he adds his having been told by some of the people of El-Yemen that عَصْبٌ is the name of A certain beast of the sea, or of the great river, called also فَرَسُ فِرْعَوْنَ [i. e. Pharaoh's horse, perhaps meaning the hippopotamus], of which [meaning of the teeth or bones of which] beads and other things, as the handles of knives &c., are made, and which is white. (L, TA.)

غُمْدَانُ:
بضم أوله، وسكون ثانيه، وآخره نون، وقد صحّفه الليث فقال عمدان بالعين المهملة، كما صحّف بعاث بالعين المهملة فجعله بالغين المعجمة، يجوز أن يكون جمع غمد مثل ذئب وذؤبان، وغمد الشيء: غشاؤه ولبسته، فكأن هذا القصر غشاء لما دونه من المقاصير والأبنية، قال هشام بن محمد بن السائب الكلبي: إن ليشرح بن يحصب أراد اتخاذ قصر بين صنعاء وطيوة فأحضر البنائين والمقدّرين لذلك فمدوا الخيط ليقدروه فانقضّت على الخيط حدأة فذهبت به فاتبعوه حتى ألقته في موضع غمدان فقال ليشرح:
ابنوا القصر في هذا المكان، فبني هناك على أربعة أوجه: وجه أبيض ووجه أحمر ووجه أصفر ووجه أخضر، وبنى في داخله قصرا على سبعة سقوف بين كل سقفين منها أربعون ذراعا، وكان ظله إذا طلعت الشمس يرى على عينان وبينهما ثلاثة أميال، وجعل في أعلاه مجلسا بناه بالرخام الملون، وجعل سقفه رخامة واحدة، وصيّر على كل ركن من أركانه تمثال أسد من شبه كأعظم ما يكون من الأسد فكانت الريح إذا هبّت إلى ناحية تمثال من تلك التماثيل دخلت من دبره وخرجت من فيه فيسمع له زئير كزئير السباع، وكان يأمر بالمصابيح فتسرج في ذلك البيت ليلا فكان سائر القصر يلمع من ظاهره كما يلمع البرق، فإذا أشرف عليه الإنسان من بعض الطرق ظنه برقا أو مطرا ولا يعلم أن ذلك ضوء المصابيح، وفيه يقول ذو جدن الهمذاني:
دعيني لا أبا لك لن تطيقي، ... لحاك الله قد أنزفت ريقي
وهذا المال ينفذ كلّ يوم ... لنزل الضيف أو صلة الحقوق
وغمدان الذي حدّثت عنه ... بناه مشيّدا في رأس نيق
بمرمرة وأعلاه رخام ... تحام لا يعيّب بالشقوق
مصابيح السليط يلحن فيه ... إذا يمسي كتوماض البروق
فأضحى بعد جدّته رمادا، ... وغيّر حسنه لهب الحريق
وقال قوم: إن الذي بنى غمدان سليمان بن داود، عليه السلام، أمر الشياطين فبنوا لبلقيس ثلاثة قصور بصنعاء: غمدان وسلحين وبينون، وفيها يقول الشاعر:
هل بعد غمدان أو سلحين من أثر، ... أو بعد بينون يبني الناس أبياتا؟
وفي غمدان وملوك اليمن يقول دعبل بن عليّ الخزاعي:
منازل الحيّ من غمدان فالنّضد ... فمأرب فظفار الملك فالجند
أرض التبابع والأقيال من يمن، ... أهل الجياد وأهل البيض والزّرد
ما دخلوا قرية إلّا وقد كتبوا ... بها كتابا فلم يدرس ولم يبد
بالقيروان وباب الصين قد زبروا، ... وباب مرو وباب الهند والصّغد
وقال أبو الصّلت يمدح ذا يزن:
أرسلت أسدا على بقع الكلاب فقد ... أضحى شريدهم في الأرض فلّالا
فاشرب هنيئا عليك التاج مرتفقا ... في رأس غمدان دارا منك محلالا
تلك المكارم لا قعبان من لبن شيبا بماء فعادا بعد أبوالا
وهدم غمدان في أيام عثمان بن عفان، رضي الله عنه، فقيل له: إن كهّان اليمن يزعمون أن الذي يهدمه يقتل، فأمر باعادة بنائه، فقيل له: لو أنفقت عليه خرج الأرض ما أعدته كما كان، فتركه، وقيل:
وجد على خشبة لما خرّب وهدم مكتوب برصاص مصبوب: اسلم غمدان هادمك مقتول، فهدمه عثمان، رضي الله عنه، فقتل.

مَدينَةُ النّحَاسِ:
ويقال لها مدينة الصّفر، ولها قصة بعيدة من الصحة لمفارقتها العادة، وأنا بريء من عهدتها إنما أكتب ما وجدته في الكتب المشهورة التي دوّنها العقلاء ومع ذلك فهي مدينة مشهورة الذكر فلذلك ذكرتها، قال ابن الفقيه: ومن عجائب الأندلس أمر مدينة الصّفر التي يزعم قوم من العلماء أن ذا القرنين بناها وأودعها كنوزه وعلومه وطلسم بابها فلا يقف عليها أحد وبنى داخلها بحجر البهتة وهو مغناطيس الناس وذلك أن الإنسان إذا نظر إليها لم يتمالك أن يضحك ويلقي نفسه عليها فلا يزايلها أبدا حتى يموت، وهي في بعض مفاوز الأندلس، ولما بلغ عبد الملك بن مروان خبرها وخبر ما فيها من الكنوز والعلوم وأن إلى جانبها أيضا بحيرة بها كنوز عظيمة كتب إلى موسى بن نصير عامله على المغرب يأمره بالمسير إليها والحرص على دخولها وأن يعرّفه ما فيها ودفع الكتاب إلى طالب بن مدرك فحمله وسار حتى انتهى إلى موسى بن نصير وكان بالقيروان، فلما أوصله إليه تجهز وسار في ألف فارس نحوها، فلما رجع كتب إلى عبد الملك بن مروان: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، أصلح الله أمير المؤمنين صلاحا يبلغ به خير الدنيا والآخرة، أخبرك يا أمير المؤمنين أني تجهزت لأربعة أشهر وسرت نحو مفاوز الأندلس ومعي ألف فارس من أصحابي حتى أوغلت في طرق قد انطمست ومناهل قد اندرست وعفت فيها الآثار وانقطعت عنها الأخبار أحاول بناء مدينة لم ير الراؤون مثلها ولم يسمع السامعون بنظيرها، فسرت ثلاثة وأربعين يوما ثم لاح لنا بريق شرفها من مسيرة خمسة أيام فأفزعنا منظرها الهائل وامتلأت قلوبنا رعبا من عظمها وبعد أقطارها، فلما قربنا منها إذ أمرها عجيب ومنظرها هائل كأن المخلوقين ما صنعوها، فنزلت عند ركنها الشرقيّ وصلّيت العشاء الأخيرة بأصحابي وبتنا بأرعب ليلة بات بها المسلمون، فلما أصبحنا كبّرنا استئناسا بالصبح وسرورا به، ثم وجّهت رجلا من أصحابي في مائة فارس وأمرته أن يدور مع سورها ليعرف بابها فغاب عنها يومين ثم وافى صبيحة اليوم الثالث فأخبرني أنه ما وجد لها بابا ولا رأى مسلكا إليها، فجمعت أمتعة أصحابي إلى جانب سورها وجعلت بعضها على بعض لينظر من يصعد إليها فيأتيني بخبر ما فيها، فلم تبلغ أمتعتنا ربع الحائط لارتفاعه وعلوه، فأمرت عند ذلك بــاتخاذ السلالم فاتخذت ووصلت بعضها إلى بعض بالحبال ونصبتها
على الحائط وجعلت لمن يصعد إليها ويأتيني بخبرها عشرة آلاف درهم، فانتدب لذلك رجل من أصحابي ثم تسنّم السلّم وهو يتعوّذ ويقرأ، فلما صار على سورها وأشرف على ما فيها قهقه ضاحكا ثم نزل إليها فناديناه: أخبرنا بما عندك وبما رأيته، فلم يجبنا، فجعلت أيضا لمن يصعد إليها ويأتيني بخبرها وخبر الرجل ألف دينار، فانتدب رجل من حمير فأخذ الدنانير فجعلها في رحله ثم صعد فلما استوى على السور قهقه ضاحكا ثم نزل إليها فناديناه: أخبرنا بما وراءك وما الذي ترى، فلم يجبنا، ثم صعد ثالث فكانت حاله مثل حال اللذين تقدماه فامتنع أصحابي بعد ذلك من الصعود وأشفقوا على أنفسهم، فلما أيست ممن يصعد ولم أطمع في خبرها رحلت نحو البحيرة وسرت مع سور المدينة فانتهيت إلى مكان من السور فيه كتابة بالحميرية فأمرت بانتساخها فكانت هذه:
ليعلم المرء ذو العز المنيع ومن ... يرجو الخلود وما حيّ بمخلود
لو أن حيّا ينال الخلد في مهل ... لنال ذاك سليمان بن داود
سالت له العين عين القطر فائضة ... فيه عطاء جليل غير مصرود
وقال للجنّ: أنشوا فيه لي أثرا ... يبقى إلى الحشر لا يبلى ولا يودي
فصيّروه صفاحا ثم ميل به ... إلى البناء بإحكام وتجويد
وأفرغوا القطر فوق السور منحدرا ... فصار صلبا شديدا مثل صيخود
وصبّ فيه كنوز الأرض قاطبة، ... وسوف تظهر يوما غير محدود
لم يبق من بعدها في الأرض سابغة ... حتى تضمّن رمسا بطن أخدود
وصار في قعر بطن الأرض مضطجعا ... مضمنّا بطوابيق الجلاميد
هذا ليعلم أن الملك منقطع ... إلا من الله ذي التقوى وذي الجود
ثم سرت حتى وافيت البحيرة عند غروب الشمس فإذا هي مقدار ميل في ميل وهي كثيرة الأمواج وإذا رجل قائم فوق الماء فناديناه: من أنت؟ فقال: أنا رجل من الجن كان سليمان بن داود حبس ولدي في هذه البحيرة فأتيته لأنظر ما حاله، قلنا له: فما بالك قائما على وجه الماء؟ قال: سمعت صوتا فظننته صوت رجل يأتي هذه البحيرة في كل عام مرة فهذا أوان مجيئه فيصلي على شاطئها أياما ويهلل الله ويمجده، قلنا: فمن تظنه؟ قال: أظنه الخضر، عليه السلام، ثم غاب عنّا فلم ندر أين أخذ فبتنا تلك الليلة على شاطئ البحيرة وقد كنت أخرجت معي عدة من الغواصين فغاضوا في البحيرة فأخرجوا منها حبّا من صفر مطبقا رأسه مختوما برصاص فأمرت به ففتح فخرج منه رجل من صفر على فرس من صفر بيده مطرد من صفر فطار في الهواء وهو يقول: يا نبي الله لا أعود، ثم غاصوا ثانية وثالثة فأخرجوا مثل ذلك فضجّ أصحابي وخافوا أن ينقطع بهم الزاد فأمرت بالرحيل وسلكت الطريق التي كنت أخذت فيها وأقبلت حتى نزلت القيروان، والحمد لله الذي حفظ لأمير المؤمنين أموره وسلّم له جنوده! فلما قرأ عبد الملك هذا الكتاب كان عنده الزهري فقال له: ما تظن بأولئك الذين صعدوا السور كيف استطيروا من السور وكيف كان حالهم؟ قال الزهري:
خبّلوا يا أمير المؤمنين فاستطيروا لأن بتلك المدينة جنّا قد وكلّوا بها، قال: فمن أولئك الذين كانوا يخرجون من تلك الحباب ويطيرون؟ قال: أولئك الجنّ الذين حبسهم سليمان بن داود، عليه السّلام، في البحار.

A2: إِيهِ, as also إِيهَ and إِيهٍ, is a word denoting a desire, or demand, for one to add, or to give, or do, more; (Lth, K;) and a desire for one to speak: (K:) it (i. e. إِيهِ) is an imperative verbal noun, (S,) indecl., with kesr for its termination: (K:) you say to a man, when you desire, or demand, his telling or saying more of a [certain] story or subject of discourse, or his doing more of a [certain] deed, إِيهِ, with kesr. to the ه; (S;) [i. e. Tell me, or say, more of this; say on; go on, or proceed, with this; or do more of this;] and افْعَلْ إِيهِ [Go on, or proceed, with this; do it]; (Az;) and for إِيهِ, you say, هِيهِ: (Lth:) but when you make no interruption after it, you pronounce it with tenween, (ISk, S, K,) and say إِيهٍ, (ISk, S,) which means حَدِّثْنَا [i. e. Tell us, or relate to us, something]; (Ks, Lh, (ISk, * S; *) and for this one says هِيهٍ, by substitution of one letter for another: (Ks, Lh:) or it means زِدْ [i. e. tell, or say, or do, something more]; and هَاتِ [i. e. give, or relate, something]; (Har p. 592;) and تَكَلَّمَ [i. e. speak].

وَ مَا بَالُ تَكْلِيمِ الدِّيَارِ البَلَاقِعِ [We stopped, and we said, Tell us some tidings: inform us (أَخْبِرِينَا being app. understood) respecting Umm-Sálim: but what is the case (meaning what is the use) of speaking to the vacant dwellings?], he has used the word without tenween, though making no interruption after it, because he intended a pause. (ISk, S.) Ibn-Es-Seree says, When you say, إِيهِ يَا رَجُلُ, you only command him to tell you more of the subject of discourse known to you and him, as though you said, هَاتِ الحَدِيثَ [Give, or relate, the story, or narrative, O man]: but if you say, إِيهٍ, with tenween, it is as though you said, هَاتِ حَدِيثًا مَّا [Give, or relate, some story or narrative], because the tenween renders indeterminate: and Dhu-rRummeh meant the tenween, but omitted it through necessity. (S.) As says that Dhu-rRummeh has committed a mistake; the expression of the Arabs being only إِيهٍ [in a case of this kind]: ISd says, the truth is, that it is without tenween when determinate, and with tenween when indeterminate; and that Dhu-r-Rummeh asks the ruins to tell him more of a known story, as though he said, Relate to us the story, or tell us the tidings: (TA:) Aboo-Bekr Ibn-Es-Sarráj says, citing this verse, that ايه is not known in a case of this kind without tenween in any of the dialects; meaning that it is never conjoined with a following word unless it be with tenween. (IB, TA.) أَيْهَا: see what next follows.

أَيْهَاتَ i. q. هَيْهَاتَ [Far, or far from being believed or from the truth, is such a thing: or remoteness, or remoteness from being believed or from the truth, is to be attributed to such a thing.]: as also ↓ أَيْهَانِ, (S, K,) and ↓ أَيْهَانَ, (K, TA, in the CK اَيْهَانُ,) [and several other dial. vars., for which see هَيْهَاتَ,] and ↓ أَيْهَا, (TA; and so in some copies of the S and K; in other copies of these, ↓ أَيْهًا; [but the former is app. the right;]) with the ن [or the ت] suppressed, (TA,) which is said in pronouncing [a thing] to be remote [whether in a proper or a tropical sense]: (S, TA:) Th explains ↓ أَيْهَانِ as meaning بَعِيدٌ ذٰلِكَ AA explains it as meaning بَعُدَ ذٰلِكَ, making it a verbal noun; and this is the correct explanation: (TA:) or the meaning is البُعْدُ, [as I have indicated above,] (K in art. هيه,) but this is only when لِ is prefixed to what follows it, as Sb says. (TA. [See هَيْهَاتَ.]) أَيْهَانَ and أَيْهَانِ: see أَيْهَاتَ, in three places.

أَيِّهٌ Having a strong, or loud, voice; and vigilant, or wary. (Ham p. 675.) أَيُّهَا: see أَىٌّ; last portion of the paragraph.
