1 خَلَفَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. خَلْفٌ, He came after, followed, succeeded, or remained after, another, or another that had perished or died. (
TA.) Hence, in the
Kur [vii. 168 and xix. 60], فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ (
TA) And there hath succeeded them, or come after them, [a posterity, or] an evil posterity. (
Bd in xix. 60.) And خَلَفَهُ He came after him, (
S, A in art. دبر,
Mgh,
Msb,
TA,) or behind him, (A
ubi suprà,
Mgh,) or following him nearly; (A
ubi suprà;)
inf. n. as above, (
Mgh,
TA,) and خِلْفَةٌ also: (
Mgh:) or he remained after him: (
K:) and ↓ جَآءَ خِلَافَهُ likewise signifies [the same as جآء خَلْفَهُ; an
inf. n. of خَالَفَ being thus used as an adv.
n.; i. e.] he came after him. (
TA.) You say also, خَلَفَ اللَّيْلُ النَّهَارَ,
inf. n. خَلْفٌ and خِلْفَةٌ, The night followed, or came after, the day. (
MA.)
b2: [Hence,] خَلَفْتُهُ, [

inf. n. خَلْفٌ, [perhaps a mistranscription for خَلَفَ,] I was, after him, a substitute for him: (

aor. as above,
TA,)
inf. n. خِلَافَةٌ (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,
TA) and خَلَفٌ (
TA) and خِلِّيقَى, (

inf. n. of the intensive kind, (
Sgh,
MF,
TA,) He was, or became, his خَلِيفَة [i. e. successor, or vice-
agent, &c.], (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) or his substitute; (
TA;) فِى قَوْمِهِ [among, or in respect of, his people], (
S,
TA,) and أَهْلِهِ [his family]; relating to good and to evil; wherefore one says, أَوْصَى لَهُ بِالخِلَافَةِ [he charged him by his will with the being his successor, or vice-
agent, &c.]; (
TA;) or عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ [over his family and his property]: (
Msb:) and ↓
اخــتفلهُ signifies the same; (
Lh, Ibn-'Abbád,
K;) he was, or became, his خَلِيفَة (Ibn-'Abbád,
TA) after him. (Ibn-'Abbád,
TA.) And خَلَفَ فُلَانًا [alone] He was, or became, the خَلِيفَةٌ of such a one among, or in respect of, his family (
K,

TA.) And خَلَفَهُ رَبُّهُ فِى أَهْلِهِ (

TA,)
inf. n. خِلَافَةٌ, (
K,) His Lord was [for him] a خَلِيفَة [or supplier of his place] to his family (
K,
TA) and his children. (
TA. [In the
CK,
اخــلف is made to signify the same; but this is in consequence of an omission.]) And one says, خَلَفَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ May God be to to thee a خَلِيفَة [or supplier of the place] (
S,
Msb,
K) of thy father; (
S,
Msb,) or of the one whom thou hast lost: (
S,
Msb,
K:) thus one says to one who has lost by death his father (
S,
Msb,
K) or mother (
K) or paternal uncle (
S,
Msb) or any other who cannot be replaced: (
Msb,
K:) and خَلَفَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ خَيْرًا, (
K,) or بِخَيْرٍ, (
Az,
Msb,
K,) or both, (
L,) and خَلَفَ اللّٰهُ لَكَ بِخَيْرٍ, (
Az,
Msb,) and اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ خَيْرًا ↓ أَخْلَفَ and لَكَ خَيْرًا: (
K: [in which it is implied that these phrases mean May God supply to thee well the place of him whom thou hast lost: but it is implied in the
Msb that the two of them there mentioned mean May God restore to thee good in the place of that which has gone from thee: and it appears from what here follows that all of these phrases have the latter meaning, whether or not they have the former meaning also:]) to him who has lost property or a child or a thing [of any other kind] of which the replacement may be asked, (
S,) or to him of whom that which may be replaced has perished, or died, (
K,) one says, اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ ↓ أَخْلَفَ (
S,
Msb,
K) May God restore to thee the like of that which has gone from thee, (
S,
Msb,) or may God restore to thee what has gone from thee; (
K in a later part of the art.;) and اللّٰه لَكَ ↓
اخــلف; and خَلَفَ اللّٰه لك : or خَلَفَ اللّٰه عَلَيْكَ is allowable in relation to property and the like; and يَخْلَفُ, like يَمْنَعُ is allowable as its
aor. , though
extr., (
K,) as it has no faucial letter to occasion the fet-h: (
TA:) and one says also, خَلَفَ اللّٰهُ لَكَ بِخَيْرٍ meaning May God give thee good in the place of that which has gone from thee; (
TA;) and عَلَيْكَ خَيْرًا ↓
اخــلف, (
Msb,
TA,) meaning the same; (
TA;) and [so] لَكَ خَيْرًا ↓
اخــلف and بِخَيْرٍ: and اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ مَالَكَ ↓
اخــلف and لَكَ مَالَكَ [May God restore, or replace, to thee thy property]. (
Msb.) خَلَفَ أَبَاهُ, (
K,)
aor. ـُ (
TA,) means He became behind his father; (
K;) and if so, its
inf. n. is خَلْفٌ: (
TA:) or it means he became in the place of his father; (
K;) and if so, its
inf. n. is خَلَفٌ: (
TA:) and خَلَفَ مَكَانَ أَبِيهِ,
inf. n. خِلَافَةٌ (
K) and خَلَفٌ, (
TA,) he became in the place of his father, exclusively of every other. (
K.) You say also, خَلَفَتِ الفَاكِهَةِ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا, (
JK,
K,)
inf. n. خَلْفٌ, (
JK,
TA,) or خَلَفٌ, (
TA, [the former being there altered to the latter (which is the more probably correct), or the latter to the former,]) and خِلْفَةٌ, (
JK,
TA,) The fruit replaced other fruit; or became substituted for other fruit. (
JK, *
K,*
TA. [In the
CK, صَارَ خَلْفًا is erroneously put for صَارَتْ خَلَفًا.]) And خَلَفَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى فُلَانَةَ,
inf. n. خِلَافَةٌ, [like عَقَبَ عَلَيْهَا,] Such a man took as his wife such a woman after another husband [and thus supplied his place]. (
Z,
TA.)
b3: خَلَفَ ُلَانًا, (aor.
خَلُفَ,
TA,) He took, or seized, such a one from behind him; (
JK, *
K;) as also ↓
اخــتلفهُ. (
TA.) And hence, (
TA,) خَلَفَ لَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ (
JK,
TA) He came to him from behind him, and smote his neck, or struck off his head, with the sword. (
TA.)
b4: خَلَفَ فُلَانٌ بِعَقِبِى [is explained as meaning] Such a one stayed, or abode, after me. (
Msb in art. عقب) [But]
b5: خَلَفَ بِعَقَبِ فُلَانٍ is said by some to mean إِلَى ↓ خَالَفَهُ
أَهْلِهِ [
q. v.]:
accord. to
As, however, it means He parted with such a one on the condition of doing a certain thing, and then came behind him [or behind his back] and did another thing after parting with him: and
Az says that this is a more correct explanation than the former one. (
TA.) [Hence,
app.,] one says also, إِنَّ امْرَأَةَ فُلَانٍ
تَخْلُفُ زَوْجَهَا بِالنِّزَاعِ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا [Verily the wife of such a one is unfaithful to her husband by yearning towards another when he is absent from her: or deceives her husband behind his back by yearning towards another; for it is implied, by an
ex. given, that اذا غاب عنها is added by way of explanation]. (
TA.) خَلَفَهُ also signifies He spoke of him, or mentioned him, [behind his back, or] when he was not present: so in the phrase, خَلَفَهُ بِخَيْرٍ or بِشَرٍّ [He spoke of him behind his back well or ill]. (
TA.) And one says, يَخْلُفُ النَّاسَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ [meaning He defames men behind their backs]: the action signified hereby is like غِيبَةٌ, and may be [by making signs] with the side of the mouth, and with the eye, and with the head. (
TA in art. همز.)
b6: خَلَفَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ, (
K,
TA,)
aor. ـُ He remained behind, or after, his companions; did not go forth with them; as also أَصْحَابِهِ ↓ قَعَدَ خِلَافَ [similar to a phrase mentioned near the beginning of this art.]; (
TA;)
i. q. ↓ تخلّف; (
K in explanation of the former phrase;) which is
syn. with تَأَخَّرَ; (
S,
K;) as in the phrase تخلّف عَنِّى [which means He remained behind me, or after me]; (
S;) [for] تخلّف عَنْهُ means بَقِىَ خَلْفَهُ; (
Mgh;) and [in like manner] you say, تخلّف عَنِ لاقَوْمِ He remained behind, or after, the people, or party, not going with them; [he held back, or hung back, from them;] and ↓ قَعَدْتُ خِلَافَهُ [i. e. I remained] behind him, or after him; (
Msb;) and ↓ خالف عَنَّا He remained behind us, or after us;
syn. ↓ تخلّف. (
TA, from a
trad.) It is said in the
Kur [xvii. 78], إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ↓ وَ إِذَا لَا يَلْبَثُونَ خِلَافَكَ, i. e. [But in that case they should not have remained] after thee [save a little while]: (
JK,
TA: *) so
accord. to one reading [instead of خَلْفَكَ, which means the same]. (
TA.) And in like manner, رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ ↓ فَرِحَ المُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلَافَ, in the
Kur [ix. 82], means [Those who were left behind rejoiced in their remaining] behind the Apostle of God: (
S,
TA:) or the meaning here is, مُخَالَفَةَ رسول اللّٰه [i. e. in disagreement with the Apostle of God]: (
JK,
S:) thus says
Lh; but
IB disagrees with him; saying that خلاف here means بَعْدَ; and cites six exs. in which it has this meaning, from poets. (
TA.)
b7: [Hence,] خَلَفَ فُلَانٌ عَنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ (assumed
tropical:) [Such a one was, or became, kept back from all good; i. e.,] did not prosper, or was not successful. (
TA. [It is there added, that it is explained in the
A as
tropical, and as meaning تَغَيَّرَ وَفَسَدَ: but this is perhaps a mistake, occasioned by the accidental omission of وَخَلَفَ اللَّبَنُ or the like, of which this is a correct explanation: or the phrase thus explained in the
TA, as from the
A, may correctly mean He became altered for the worse, and corrupt; agreeably with other explanations of the verb below.])
b8: خَلَفَ,
aor. ـُ also signifies He (a man) retired, withdrew, or went away or apart. (
JK.) and خَلَفَتْ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. خُلُوفٌ, (assumed
tropical:) His soul turned away from, avoided, or shunned, the food, in consequence of disease. (
JK,
TA.)
b9: And He fled. (
Ham p. 411.)
b10: And He (a man,
Sgh) ascended a mountain. (
Sgh,
K.)
A2: See also 2, first sentence.
A3: خَلَفَ, (
S,
Msb,
K, &c.,)
aor. ـُ (
Lh,
Msb,
TA, and
Ham p. 679,) [
inf. n. خُلُوفٌ,] said of the taste of water, It was, or became, different from, or contrary to, what it was thought to be: and [hence,] it was, or became, altered [for the worse]: (
Ham ubi suprà:) [and] said of milk, (
S,
K,) and of food, (
Lh,
S,
Msb,
K,) and the like, (
Lh,
TA,) and some say خَلُفَ, (
TA,)
aor. ـُ
inf. n. خُلُوفٌ, (
Lh,
TA,) of both verbs, (
TA,) it was, or became, altered [ for the worse] (
Lh,
S,
Msb,
K) in taste, or in odour; (
S,
Msb,
K;) as also ↓
اخــلف: or, said of milk, the first signifies it became bad from being long kept; or, as in the
A, (
tropical:) what was good thereof became mixed (خُلِفَ, i. e. خُلِطَ,) with other milk: and ↓
اخــلف, said of milk, signifies also it was, or became, sour: (
TA:) and the first, said of [the beverage called] نَبِيذ, it became bad. (
K.) Also,
inf. n. خُلُوفٌ (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K) and خُلُوفَةٌ (
K) and خِلْفَةٌ, (
L,
TA,) said of the mouth (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K) of a person fasting, (
S,
Msb,
K,) It was, or became, altered [for the worse] in odour; (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K;) as also ↓
اخــلف. (
S,
Msb,
K.) It is said in a
trad. that the خُلُوف of the mouth of one who is fasting is sweeter in the estimation of God than the odour of musk: or,
accord. to some of the lawyers and of the relaters of traditions, خَلُوف; but [
SM says,] I think this to be a mistake, as several affirm it to be, while others say that it is of a bad
dial. :
accord. to one reading, it is خِلْفَة. (
TA.)
b2: [Hence,] خَلَفَ عَنْ خُلُقِ أَبِيهِ, (
K,)
aor. ـُ
inf. n. خُلُوفٌ, (
TA,) (assumed
tropical:) He was, or became, altered [for the worse] from the natural disposition of his father. (
K,
TA.)
b3: And خَلَفَ, (

S,
K,)
inf. n. خَلْفٌ [or خُلُوفٌ]; or خَلْفَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. خَلَافَةٌ and خُلُوفٌ; (
TA;) (assumed
tropical:) He (a man) was, or became, bad, or corrupt. (
ISk,
S,
K,
TA.)
b4: And خَلَفَ, (
K)
inf. n. خَلَافَةٌ (
IAth,
K) and خُلُوفٌ, (
K,) (assumed
tropical:) He (a man) was, or became, stupid, or foolish; or one who had little, or no, intellect or understanding: (
K, *
TA:) or unprofitable: or a frequent promise-breaker: (
IAth:) or خَلَفَ and ↓
اخــلف, said of a slave, he was, or became, idiotic, deficient in intellect, or bereft of his intellect. (
JK.)
A4: خَلَفَ, (
K,)
inf. n. خَلْفٌ; (
S, *
K, *
TA;) and ↓
اخــلف, and ↓ استخلف; (
S,
K;) He drew water, (
S,
K,
TA,) لِأَهْلِهِ for his family: [
app. because he who does so leaves his family behind him: see 2, first sentence:] (
K,
TA:) [or] ↓ استخلف, said of a man, signifies اِسْتَعْذَبَ المَآء [
app. as meaning he sought, or drew, or brought, sweet water: see art. عذب]: and,
accord. to
IAar, you say, القَوْمَ ↓ أَخْلَفْتُ, meaning properly I carried sweet water to the people, or party, when they were in the [season, or herbage, called] رَبِيع and without sweet water, or when they were by salt water: إِخْلَافٌ [as meaning the carrying, or drawing, of water,] being [properly] only in the ربيع: in other cases, metaphorically applied. (
TA.) El-Hoteíäh says, ↓ لِزُغْبٍ كَأَوْلَادِ القَطَا رَاثَ خَلْفُهَا عَلَى عَاجِزَاتِ النَّهْضِ حُمْرٍ حَوَاصِلُهْ (assumed
tropical:) [To, or for, downy ones, like the young ones of the katà, whose procurer of water has been slow in coming to those lacking the power of spreading their wings for flight, red in their crops]: he means ↓ مِخْلِفُهَا [or خَالِفُهَا], and has put in the place of this the
inf. n.: and by حواصله,
accord. to
Ks, he means حَوَاصِلُ مَا ذَكْرْنَا [the crops of what we have mentioned]: but
Fr says that the ه relates to the زغب, exclusively of the عاجزات, which [latter] has the sign of the
pl. ; for every
pl. that has the form of a
sing. may be imagined to be a
sing., as in the saying of the poet, مِثْلُ الفِرَـ
ـاخِ نُتِفَتْ حَوَاصِلُهْ [meaning “ like the young birds of which the crops have been plucked ”]; for الفر
اخ has not the sign of the
pl., but has the form of a
sing., like الكِتَاب and الحِجَاب: another says, [but this is very far-fetched,] that the ه relates to النهض, which [sometimes] means a place in the shoulderblade of the camel; and that the poet has used it metaphorically as belonging to the قطا. (
S.)
A5: خَلَفَ الثَّوْبَ, (
S,) or القَمِيصَ,
aor. ـُ (
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. خَلْفٌ (
Kr,
TA) and خُلْفَةٌ, in some copies of the
K خَلْفَةٌ, [so in my
MS. copy of the

TA,) He took out from the garment, or shirt, the part that was worn out, (
S,
Msb,
K,) that is, the middle part, which was worn out, (
S,
Msb,) and then sewed the [cut] edges together. (
S,
Msb,
K.) and الثَّوْبَ ↓
اخــلف signifies the same as خَلَفَهُ, i. e. He repaired the garment [
app. in any manner, or, as is implied in the
S and
TA, by substituting one piece for another]. (
S,
K,
TA.)
b2: The saying, in a
trad. of Hamneh, فَإِذَا خَلَفَتْ ذٰلِكَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ, meaning (assumed
tropical:) And when she has discriminated that period of days and nights during which she has been حَائِض, [she shall perform a complete ablution of herself,] is from خَلَفَ القَمِيص signifying as explained above. (
Msb.)
A6: خَلَفَ signifies also He mixed [a thing with another thing; as, for instance, (see خُلِفَ in a passage above,) milk with other milk]: and he mixed saffron, and medicine, with water. (
TA.)
A7: خَلَفَ بَيْتَهُ He put to, or made for, his tent, a pole, (

aor. ـَ (
K,)
inf. n. خَلَفٌ, (

b2: خَلَفٌ is also an
inf. n. (of خَلِفَ, said of a man,
TK) signifying The being أَخْلَف as meaning contrarious, hard in disposition, as though going with a leaning towards one side:
b3: and the being left-handed:
b4: and the being أَحْوَل [or squint-eyed]. (
K.)
A9: خَلِفَتْ,
aor. ـَ (
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. خَلَفٌ, (
Msb,
TA,) She (a camel) was, or became, pregnant. (
Msb,
K.) 2 خلّفهُ, (
Msb,) and خلّفهُ وَرَآءَهُ, (
S,
TA,)
inf. n. تَخْلِيفٌ, (
TA,) He left him behind him; (
Msb;) namely, a man: (
S,
Msb,
TA:) and ↓ خَلَفَهُ [signifies the same: or] he made him to be behind him; as also ↓
اخــلفهُ [q.
v.], and ↓
اخــتلفهُ: (
TA:) [whence the saying,] أَلْحَحْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ
↓ فِى الاِتِبَاعِ حَتَّى
اخْــتَلَفْتُهُ i. e. [I pressed upon such a one in following] until I made him to be behind me. (
ISk,
TA.) You say also, خَلَّفَهُمْ,
inf. n. as above, meaning He was, or became, or went, before them; and left them behind him. (
TA.) And خلّفوا أَثْقالَهُم,
inf. n. as above, They left their loads, or baggage &c., behind their backs; (
O,

b2: [Hence,] خلّفهُ He made him, or appointed him, his خَلِيفَة [i. e. successor, or vice-
agent, &c.]; (
K;) and so ↓ استخلفهُ. (

Msb,
K.) So in the
Kur [xxiv. 54], ↓ لَيَسْتَخِلَفَنَّهُمْ فِى الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ [That He will assuredly make them to be successors in the earth, like as He made to be successors those who were before them]. (
TA.)
A2: خلّف بِنَاقَتِهِ, (
S,
K,)
inf. n. as above, (
S,) He bound one of the teats of his she-camel with the thing termed صِرَار [in order that her young one might not suck it]: (

Mgh,
Msb,
TA,)
inf. n. خِلَافٌ (

TA:) [and he acted contrarily, contrariously, adversely, or in opposition, to him, or it; he, or it, contravened, or opposed, him, or it:] and he [or it] contradicted him [or it]. (
M in art. نقض.) It is said in a
prov., إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ خِلَافَ الضَّبُعِ الرَّاكِبَ, i. e. تُخَالِفُ خِلَافَ الضَّبُعِ [Verily thou art one who acts with the contrariousness of the hyena towards the rider]: for the hyena [attacks a man on foot, but], when it sees the rider, flees from him. (
IAar,
TA.) You say also, خَالَفَنِى عَنْ كَذَا He turned away from such a thing [in opposition to me, or] when I betook myself to it: [see also the last sentence but one of the first paragraph of art. بهت:] and خالفنى إِلَى كَذَا He betook himself to such a thing [in opposition to me, or] when I turned away from it: (
Mgh:) or خالفهُ إِلَى
الشَّىْءِ means he disobeyed him by betaking himself to the thing; or betook himself to the thing after he had forbidden him it. (
TA.) And hence, (
Mgh,) هُوَ يُخَالِفُ إِلَى امْرَأَةِ فُلَانٍ, (
S,
Mgh, *) or إِلَى فُلَانَةَ, (

Az,
TA.) And خالفهُ
إِلَيْهِمْ He watched to see him, and, when he was absent from them, namely, his family, he went in to them: (

TA, [in the latter of which, in the place of النحل, is put الدَّبْرُ “ the swarm of bees,”]) and takes it, (
TA,) while they are feeding; (
S,
TA;) or, as
AA says, he comes behind them to the honey while they are absent:
AO explains it by خَالَفَهَا إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ which [he says] meanshe keeps with them [to another place];
syn. لَازَمَهَا; [and thus this phrase (which is strangely misinterpreted in the
TK and in Freytag's Lexicon) is explained in the
K, but without any reference to the verse;] as also حَالَفَهَا, with the unpointed ح: (
TA:) and some read the verse thus; but this reading is said to be a mistake. (
TA in art. حلف.)

b3: خالف بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ He put one of his legs forward and the other backward: and [hence,] المُخَالَفَةُ بَيْنَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ [as signifying the alternate shifting of the legs to and fro] is metonymically used as meaning the act of dancing. (
Har p. 108.) [And خالف بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ He put, or placed, the two things contrariwise; or on contrary sides; or in contrary directions. Hence,] أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ, in the
Kur v. 37, [Or that their hands and their feet shall be cut off on contrary sides,] means that their right hands and left feet shall be cut off. (

TA:) and some say, لَهُ خَدَمَتَانِ مِنْ خِلَافٍ when he has a whiteness [or rather a ring of white a little above the hoof] in his fore leg [or right fore leg] and another in his left fore leg [probably a mistake of a copyist for his left hind leg]. (

اخــلف عَنْهُ الحَقَبَ] He shifted [backwards] the hind girth of the camel, putting it next to his testicles, on account of its hurting the sheath of his penis, and causing a suppression of his urine; (
As,

TA:) or you say only, أَخْلِفِ الحَقَبَ, meaning remove thou the hind girth from the sheath of the penis. (
Lh,
TA.) And
اخــلف الدَّابَّةَ بِالسَّوْطِ He struck the beast on the hinder part with the whip. (

app.,
اخــلف alone; البَازِلَ being understood: see مُخْلِفٌ]. El-Jaadee says, أَخْلَفَ البَازِلَ عَامًا أَوْ بَزَلْ أَيِّدِ الكَاهِلِ جَلْدٍ بَازِلٍ
[Strong in the withers, hardy, a بازل; that has exceeded in age him who has just become a بازل by a year, or that has himself just become a بازل]. (

Mgh,) He broke, (
Mgh,) or failed to perform, (
S,
K,) his promise, or the promise, to him: (

S,
K:) or the making a promise and not fulfilling it: (
Lh,
K:) and some say that it signifies one's seeking an object of want, or water, and not finding it. (
TA.) It is said in a
trad., إِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ, i. e. When he promises, he does not fulfil his promise, and is not true [to it]. (
TA.) [Hence,] أَخْلَفَتِ النُّجُومُ, i. e. (
tropical:) [The stars broke their promise; meaning,] were attended with drought, not attended with rain: (
S,
K,
TA:) a saying of the people in the Time of Ignorance: (

اِخْــتَلَفَتْ: for they used to believe and say that they were rained upon by such and such a نَوْء. (
TA. [See نَوْءٌ.]) Hence also, أَخْلَفَتِ الحُمَّى (assumed

tropical:) It bore not one year: and (
tropical:) it (a tree) bore no fruit: or lost the fruit that it had. (
L,
TA. [The verb, said of trees, has also another meaning, which see below.])
b5: اخــلفهُ is also said, by El-
Fárábee, to occur as meaning He acted according to his promise [or fulfilled his promise] to him; thus bearing two
contr. significations: but this is strange. (
MF.)
b6: Also He found him to be a breaker of his promise; (
JK;) or he found his promise to be broken, or unfulfilled. (
S,
K.)
b7: اخــلف عَلَيْكَ and لَكَ, each with an
objective complement (خَيْرًا or مَالَكَ) expressed or understood: see 1, in six places, in the former half of the paragraph. You say also,

8 اِخْــتِلَافٌ signifies The following reciprocally; or alternating. (

ـاخْــتِلَافِ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارِ And the alternating of the night and the day. (
Mgh) [And in a verse of El-'Ajjáj cited
voce أَبْلَى, in art. بلو.] And hence the phrase,
اِخْــتَلَفَا ضَرْبَةً Each of them beat, or struck the other in turn. (
Mgh.) And the saying, in a
trad. of 'Alee, فَـ
ـاخْــتَلَفَتْ بَيْنَ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الحٰرِثِ وَالوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ضَرْبَتَانِ [And two blows were interchanged between 'Obeydeh Ibn-El-Hárith and El-Weleed Ibn-'Okbeh]. (

Mgh.) and
اِخْــتَلَفُوا signifies They followed, or succeeded, one another; whenever one went, another coming after him. (

K and
TA, and in the
S and
K in art. رود &c.: and also as mean ing the returning, or repairing, time after time, or repeatedly, or frequently, to a person or place; because it implies coming and going: and sometimes it means simply the returning; because this cannot be without a previous going]. (
K.) You say, هُوَ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى فُلَانٍ, i. e. يَتَرَدَّدُ [He returns, or repairs, time after time, repeatedly, or frequently, to such a one]: and

Mgh,
Msb) [They disagreed, &c., فِى أَمْرٍ in a thing or an affair or a case;] every one of them took to, or held, a way, or an opinion, different from, or contrary to, that of another: (
Msb:) both signify the same. (
Mgh.) It is said in a
trad., سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَلَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ [Make ye your ranks even when ye place yourselves to pray together, and be not dissimilar in your positions, for in that case your hearts would disagree]; meaning, when one of you advances, or stands, before another in the ranks, your hearts will be affected, and disagreement in respect of friendship and amity will arise among you: or, as some say, it means, your hearts will be made to recoil: or the صُورَة [or specific character] of your hearts will become changed into another صورة.

خَلْفٌ [meaning The location, or quarter, that is behind; and the time past;] (
K; [so in my
MS. copy, and thus it should be written as a simple noun; but in the
CK خَلْفُ;]) or الخَلْفُ; (
Lth,
K;)
contr. of قُدَّامٌ [or القُدَّامُ]: (
Lth,
K:) [and] خَلْفَ [Behind; and after;]
contr. of قُدَّامَ: (
S: [thus in my tow copies; and said in the margin of one of them to be thus in the copy of
IB, and in that of El-Jawáleekee:]) a simple noun: and an adv.
n.: of the
fem. gender [as meaning the جِهَة; but otherwise it seems to be
masc.]. (
TA.) You say, جَآءَ خَلْفَهُ [and مِنْ خَلْفِهِ, both meaning He came behind him, and after him]. (
Mgh.) And جَلَسْتُ خَلْفَ فُلَانٍ I sat after, or behind, such a one;
syn. بَعْدَهُ (
S.) And لَبِثَ خَلْفَهُ He remained after him. (
K.) Some read, in the
Kur [xvii. 78], وَإِذًا لَايَلْبَثُونَ خَلْفَكَ: others read خِلَافَكَ [which means the same, as mentioned above: see the middle of the first paragraph of this art.]. (
TA.)
b2: خَلْفٌ signifies also The back (
K,
TA) itself: so says
IAar: and particularly, of a house; the side corresponding to, or over against, that in which is the door; and as a house may have two doors, [in two different sides,] it may be said to have two backs, each of which may be thus termed; and the dual of this word seems to be used as meaning two backs in a
trad. [respecting the building of the Kaabeh]. (
TA.)
b3: And One who comes after another; (
S,
TA;) as also ↓ خَلَفٌ, or,
accord. to some, there is a difference between these two, as will be shown in what follows; (
S;) and ↓ خَالِفٌ and ↓ خَالِفَةٌ: it is originally an
inf. n.: (
TA:) and signifies one who remains after another, whether this other be dead or living: and one remaining after another who is dead; his follower, or successor; the follower, or successor, of one who has gone: used in praise and in dispraise:
pl. خُلُوفٌ: and the
sing. also signifies [like the
pl.] persons remaining after others;
accord. to some: (
IB,
TA:) a remnant of people: (
Lh,
TA:) and a generation after a generation; (
Lth,
S,
K;) as also ↓ خَلَفٌ: (
Lth,
TA:) but
Lth says that the former is applied to the evil, and ↓ the latter to the good, (
K,
TA,) whether meaning a generation or a son: (
TA:) the latter means a good son (
K,
TA) remaining after his father: (
TA:) and the former, a bad son: (
K,
TA:) [therefore] one says, هُوَ خَلْفُ سَوْءٍ مِنْ أَبِيهِ [He is a bad son] who has taken the place of his father, and صِدْقٍ من ابيه ↓ خَلَفُ [a good son] &c.: (
S:) but sometimes each is used in the place of the other; so that one says, هو خَلْفُ صِدْقٍ من ابيه: (
K:) or both signify the same: (
S,
K:) so says
Akh: some, he says, use the former; and some, the latter: but some say صِدْقٍ ↓ خَلَفُ and خَلْفُ سَوْءٍ, meaning thus to distinguish between them: (
S:)
accord. to
IB, ↓ خَلَفٌ correctly signifies a man's successor who is a substitute for him, good and bad: and is originally an
inf. n.: (
TA:) and the
pl. of this is أَخْلَافٌ: (
Az,
IB,
TA:)
accord. to
IAth, خَلَفُ صِدْقٍ means a good generation: and خَلْفُ سَوْءٍ, an evil generation: (
TA:) and خَلْفٌ likewise signifies progeny [without restriction]. (
K.) One says also, (
S,
K,) of a people following people more in number than they, (
S,) هٰؤُلَآءِ خَلْفُ سَوْءٍ [These are a bad generation. (
S,
K.) And بَقِينَا فِى خَلْفِ سَوْءٍ We remained among an evil remnant. (
Lh,
TA.) And فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ, in the
Kur [vii. 168 and xix. 60], is explained as meaning And there remained after them a remnant. (
TA.)
b4: [Hence,] (
tropical:) One in whom is no good. (
IB,
K.) [And
app. also Persons in whom is no good..]
b5: And (
tropical:) A thing in which is no good: (
IB,
TA:) [and particularly] (assumed
tropical:) a bad saying; (
ISk,
S,
Msb,
K;) a wrong, bad saying, like the خَلْف of mankind. (A 'Obeyd,
Msb.) See also خُلْفٌ. It is said in a
prov., سَكَتَ أَلْفًا وَنَطَقَ خَلْفًا (assumed
tropical:) He held his tongue from a thousand words (سَكَتَ عَنْ أَلْفِ كَلِمَة), and then uttered what was wrong. (
ISk,
S,
Msb.) An Arab of the desert, who had been guilty of a breach of manners (حَبَقَ حَبْقَةً), pointed with his thumb towards his اِسْت, and said, إِنَّهَا خَلْفٌ نَطَقَتْ خَلْفًا [which may be rendered, Verily it is a thing in which is no good: it uttered a thing in which was no good: but it obviously admits of being rendered otherwise]. (
IAar,
S.)
b6: Also People who have gone away from the tribe (
T,
K) to draw water, and have left their baggage &c. behind them: (
T,
TA:) and such as are present, [remaining behind,] of the tribe: thus bearing two
contr. significations:
pl. خُلُوفٌ. (
K.) You say حَىٌّ خُلُوفٌ A tribe who are absent; none of them remaining behind: (
S,
TA:) or a tribe of which the men are absent and the women remaining: (
TA:) and خُلُوفٌ also signifies the
contr., i. e. such as are present, (
S,
TA,) remaining behind. (
S.) It is said of Mohammad, in a
trad., لَمْ يَتْرُكْ أَهْلَهُ خُلُوفًا, i. e. He did not leave his family neglected, with no pastor nor protector. (
TA.) See also a verse of El-Hoteíäh in the latter part of the first paragraph of this article.
A2: Old and worn out; applied to a وَطْب [or skin for milk, or for clarified butter and milk: as though it were a remnant thereof]. (Ibn-' Abbád,

JK,
S, *
K.)
A4: A large فَأْس [i. e. hoe or adze or axe]: or such as has one head: and the edge of a فأس: or the head thereof: (
K:) you say فَأْسٌ ذَاتُ خَلْقَيْنِ a two-headed فأس: (
S,
TA:) or ذَاتُ خَلْقَيْنِ and ↓ ذَاتُ خِلْقَيْنِ are names of the فأس (
K,
TA) when two-headed: (
TA:) and the
pl. is ذَوَاتُ الخَلْقَيْنِ: (
K:)
pl. خُلُوفٌ. (
JK.)
b2: And The head of a razor. (
K.)
b3: And The [pointed] head of a مِنْقَار, [an iron instrument like the فَأْس, (A and
K in art. نقر,) with which mill-stones &c. are pecked, or wrought into shape, (see مِنْقَارٌ,) and] with which wood is cut. (
TA.)
A5: See also خِلْفٌ.
خُلْفٌ a
subst. from إِخْلَافٌ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) relating to a promise, and restricted to future time; (
Msb;) i. e. a
subst. used in the place of إِخْلَافٌ; (
Lh,
TA;) meaning The breach, or non-fulfilment, of a promise; as also ↓ خُلُفٌ, which is said to be the original form of the word, and ↓ خُلُوفٌ: (
TA:) it is, in respect of the future, like كَذِبٌ in respect of the past: (
S,
K:) some say that it signifies a false, or wrong, saying; which is a meaning of ↓ خَلْفٌ, with fet-h, before mentioned: but perhaps these two words may be
syn. dial. vars. (
MF,
TA.)
b2: Also, (
Msb,) or ↓ خُلْفَةٌ, and ↓ خِلْفَةٌ, (
K,
TA,) Disagreement, difference, dissension, contrariety, contrariousness, or opposition, (

TA:) or the extremity of the udder of the she-camel: (
Msb,
K:) or the hinder of the أَطْبَآء [or teats]: (
K:) or the udder itself; (
Lth,
TA;) [i. e.] it is, to the she-camel, (
Msb, *
K,) like the ثَدْى to the human being, (
Msb,) or like the ضَرْع to the ewe or she-goat: (
K:) or the خِلْف is of the camel and of the cloven-hoofed animal; and the طُبْى, of the solid-hoofed animal and of the animal that has a claw: (
Lh,
TA:) the
pl. [properly of pauc.] is أَخْلَافٌ (

pl. of the former (
S) [and] of the latter (
K) خُلُوفٌ. (

K.)

خَلَفٌ A substitute; a thing given, or received, or put, or done, instead of, in place of, or in exchange for, another thing. (A 'Obeyd,
Th,
S,
Msb,
K,
TA.) You say, اِجْعَلْ هٰذَا خَلْفًا مِنْ هٰذَا Make thou this to be a substitute for this. (
Msb.) And هٰذَا خَلَفٌ مِمَّا أُخِذَ لَكَ This is a substitute for what has been taken to thee. (
IB.) and فِى هٰؤُلَآءِ القَوْمِ خَلَفٌ مِمَّنْ مَضَى In these people are such as supply the place of those who have gone. (

S,
K:)
accord. to some, (

pl. of خَلِفَةٌ, which signifies a pregnant camel, (
Mgh,
Msb,
TA,) or, as some say, one that has completed a year after bringing forth and has then been covered and has conceived, until she enters upon the term called التَّعْشِير, (
TA, [from-the time when her pregnancy has become manifest, (see قَارِحٌ and لَاقِحٌ,)] is مَخَاضٌ, (
Mgh,
Msb,
TA,) like as the
pl. of اِمْرَأَةٌ is نِسَآءٌ; (
Msb,
TA;) and sometimes خَلِفَاتٌ (
Mgh,
Msb,
TA) and خِلَافٌ: (
TA:) but خَلِفٌ occurs in the saying of the rájiz, مَا لَكَ تَرْغِينَ وَلَا تَرْغُوا الخَلِفْ [What aileth thee that thou utterest a grumbling cry, when the pregnant camels utter not that cry?]. (
IB.) خُلَفٌ: see خُلْفَةٌ.

TA:) and foolishness, or stupidity; or paucity, or want, of intellect or understanding; as also ↓ خَلَافَةٌ [properly an
inf. n., of خَلُفَ, and before mentioned as such; (see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph;)] and idiocy. (
K.) All of these meanings have been assigned to it in explanations of the saying, أَبِيعُكَ هٰذَا العَبْدَ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ خُلْفَتِهِ [I sell to thee this slave, but I am irresponsible to thee for his vice, &c.]: or,

b3: Also The last taste of food; (

pl. خُلَفٌ: and it (خُلْفَةٌ) signifies also loss of appetite for food, in consequence of disease: (so
accord. to the
CK:) [or,]
accord. to some copies of the
K, ↓ خَلْفَةٌ has this latter signification; and so ↓ خُلَفٌ:
accord. to other copies, خُلَفٌ is pl of خَلْفَةٌ in this sense: but both these readings require consideration: what is found in the Lexicons is, خَلَفَتْ نَفْسُهُ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. خُلُوفٌ; meaning as explained above, in the latter half of the first paragraph. (
TA.) خِلْفَةٌ a

K.) Zuheyr says, of wild animals, يَمْشِينَ خِلْفَةً, meaning They go to and fro. (
S,
TA. [See Em p. 109.]) And one says, أَخَذَتْهُ خِلْفَةٌ, meaning He was taken with [an affection causing] a frequent going to and from the privy. (

K.) [And hence,] خِلْفَةٌ signifies also, A discharging of the bowels; or a purging and vomiting together; (

Az cites, as an
ex., the saying [of a rájiz], سَاقِيَاهُمَا ↓ دَلْوَاىْ خِلْفَانِ [My two buckets are different, and their two suppliers with water]; (
S,
TA;) meaning that one of them [i. e. of the buckets] is ascending and full, and the other is descending and empty; or that one of them is new, and the other is old and worn out. (
TA, in two places.) And one says of two children, or two male slaves; or two female slaves, that they are خِلْفَتَانِ, (

L,) She brought forth one year a male and another year a female. (
L,
K.) The
pl. [of ↓ خِلْفٌ] (
K,
TA) in all its senses (
TA) is أَخْلَافٌ and خِلَفَةٌ; (

pl. of قِرْدٌ. (

A2: Also, (
S,
Msb,
K,) by the vulgar (
O,
Msb,
TA) incorrectly pronounced with teshdeed (
O,
Msb,
K,
TA) and fet-h [to the خ, i. e. خَلَّافٌ], (
TA,) A well-known kind of tree; (
S;) the [kind of tree called] صَفْصَاف: (
Msb:) or a species of the صفصاف, but not the صفصاف itself: (
K:) [the salix Aegyptia of Linnæus; called by this name in the present day; and by some, improperly, بَانٌ,
q. v.:] it abounds in the land of the Arabs; and is [also] called سَوْجَرٌ [or سَوْحَرٌ]; and there are many varieties thereof; all of them soft and weak; (
TA;) but it is seldom, or never, found in the desert: (
Msb:) they assert that it is thus called because the torrent brings it from one locality to another, so that it grows in a place different from that of its origin; (
AHn,
Msb,
K, *
TA;) but this is not a valid assertion: (
TA:) [it is a
coll. gen. n.:]
n. un. with ة. (
Msb,
TA.) سُوِّينَ مِنْ خِلَافِ, in the saying of the rájiz cited
voce خُفٌّ, means Made of different trees: it does not mean of the tree called خِلَاف; because this is seldom, or never, found in the desert. (
S,
TA.)
b2: Also The sleeve of a shirt. (
IAar,
K.) خُلُوفٌ: see خُلْفٌ.
A2: It is also, as stated above,
pl. of خَلْفٌ: (
IB,
K,
TA:)
b2: and a
pl. of خِلْفٌ. (
TA.) خَلِيفٌ: see خَلِيفَةٌ, in three places.
b2: Also One who holds back from the place, or time, of promise: and one who breaks a promise. (
TA.)
b3: And A woman that has let down her hair behind her. (
JK,
O,
K.)
b4: And A woman that has attained to the period of one day, or two days, after her having brought forth. (
IAar.) [Perhaps from the signification next following.]
b5: A she-camel in the second day after her having brought forth:
pl. خُلُفٌ and خُلْفٌ: (
K,
TA:) these two pls. are mentioned in the
K in different places in this art., but both are correct, like رُسُلٌ and رُسْلٌ. (
TA.) Hence, (
TA,) one says, رَكِبَهَا يَوْمَ خَلِيفِهَا [He rode her on the second day after she had brought forth]. (
K.)
b6: and The milk that is after the biestings: (
AA,
K:)
pl. as above. (
K.) One says also, حَلَبَهَا خَلِيفَ لِبَئِهَا He drew from her the milk that came after the biestings had passed away. (
JK.) And اِيتِنَا بِلَبَنِ نَاقَتِكَ يَوْمَ خَلِيفِهَا, i. e. [Bring thou to us the milk of thy she-camel of the day] after the cessation of her biestings; i. e., of the milking that is after her bringing forth by a day or two days. (
AA,
TA.)
A2: Applied to a garment, (
S,
K,) or a shirt, (
Msb,) Having the middle, wornout part taken out, and the [cut] edges then sewed together: (
S,
Msb,
K *:) and ↓ مَخْلُوفٌ signifies the same; (
JK;) or a garment composed of two pieces sewed together: or, as some say, this signifies a garment pledged. (
TA.)
A3: Also,
accord. to A 'Obeyd, The part beneath the armpit: and the خَلِيفَانِ of the camel are like the إِبْطَانِ of man:
accord. to the
S and the
O, خَلِيفَا النَّاقَةِ signifies the two armpits of the she-camel (إِبْطَاهَا): but the author of the
K, following the [first] explanation given by A 'Obeyd, says that this is wrong, and that the meaning is the parts beneath the two armpits of the she-camel. (
TA.)
A4: and A gap between two mountains, (
JK,) or between two mountain-tops, (
TA,) of little breadth and length: (
JK,
TA:) or a road between two mountains: (
S,
K:) or a valley between two mountains: (
K:) or a place where water pours forth (
K,
TA) between two mountains, or between two valleys, passing thence into a wide tract: (
TA:) and any road in a mountain, (
Skr,
K,) or behind a mountain, or behind a valley: (
TA:) or simply a road; as also ↓ مَخْلَفَةٌ; (
JK,
K;) this being either in a plain or in a mountain: (
TA:)
pl. of the former as above. (
K.) One says ذِيخُ الخَلِيفِ i. e. [The hairy male hyena] of the road between two mountains, (
S,
K,) or of the valley between two mountains; (
K) like as one says ذِئْبُ غَضًا. (
S.)
A5: And A sharp arrow: (
AHn,
K:) or,
accord. to
Skr, the word in this sense is حَلِيفٌ, with the unpointed ح; and this is more probably correct. (
TA.) خَلَافَةٌ: see خُلْفَةٌ.
خِلَافَةٌ
inf. n. of خَلَفَهُ as meaning “ he was, or became, his خَلِيفَة ” [
q. v.]. (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K.)
b2: [And hence, as a simple
subst., The office of خَلِيفَة.]
خَلِيفَةٌ A successor: and a vice-
agent, vice-gerent, lieutenant, substitute, proxy, or deputy: (
KL:) one who has been made, or appointed, to take the place of him who has been before him: (
JK:) an
act. part. n. of خَلَفَهُ,
inf. n. خَلَفٌ and خِلَافَةٌ; as also ↓ خَلِيفٌ: (
TA:) or it may have the meaning of an
act. part. n. or that of a
pass. part. n.: and so in the sense next following: (
Msb:) the supreme, or greatest, ruler or sovereign, (
S,
Msb,
K,
TA,) who supplies the place of him who has been before him; (
TA;) [particularly the successor of the Prophet; whence
“ Caliph,” commonly used by English writers for “ Khaleefeh; ”] as also ↓ خَلِيفٌ, (
K,) which is the original form, (
Msb,) without ة; (
Msb,
TA;) disapproved by some, but mentioned by
AHát and Ibn-' Abbád and
IB, and occurring in a verse of Ows Ibn-Hajar cited by
IB: (
TA:) the ة in the former is to denote intensiveness of signification, (
Nh,
Msb,
TA,) as in عَلَّامَةٌ and نَسَّابَةٌ: (
Msb:) or, as some say, لِلنَّقْلِ [i. e. for the transference of the word from the category of epithets to that of substs.]: (
TA:) it is also said that the word may be an
epithet of which the
subst. qualified thereby is suppressed, for نَفْسٌ خَلِيفَةٌ; but this requires consideration: (
MF,
TA:) it is an
epithet applied to a man peculiarly: (
Msb:) some make it
fem.; (
Fr,
S,
Msb,
K;) saying هٰذَا خَلِيفَةٌ أُخْرَى [This is another Khaleefeh]; though the proper way is to make it
masc.: (
Msb:) a poet says,
أَبُوكَ خَلِيفَةٌ وَلَدَتْهُ أُخْرَى
وَأَنْتَ خَلِيفَةٌ ذَاكَ الكَمَالُ [Thy father was a Khaleefeh, whom another Khaleefeh begat; and thou art a Khaleefeh: that is perfection]: (
Fr,
S:) the
pl. is خَلَائِفُ [generally applied to any people that have succeeded others, and supplied their places, as in the
Kur x. 15], (
S,
K,) like as كَرَائِمُ is
pl. of كَرِيمَةٌ; (
S;) and خُلَفَآءُ [generally applied to successors of the Prophet], (
S,
K,) because, as it applies only to the male, and has ة added, the ة is dropped in forming the
pl., which is thus like ظُرَفَآءُ as
pl. of ظَرِيفٌ: (
S:) thus says
ISk, and the like is said in the O: but what
AHát and Ibn-'Abbád say requires not this straining: (
TA:) [i. e.]
خَلَائِفُ is
pl. of خَلِيفَةٌ; and خُلَفَآءُ, of ↓ خَلِيفٌ: (
JK:) or some, having regard to the original, make the
pl. to be خُلَفَآءُ, like as شُرَفَآءُ is
pl. of شَرِيفٌ; (
Msb;) and this
pl. is
masc. only, so that you say ثَلَاثَةٌ خُلَفَآءَ: (
ISk,
Msb,
TA:) and some, having regard to the word itself [in its altered and used state], make the
pl. to be خَلَائِفُ; (
Msb;) and this
pl. may have prefixed to it either a
masc. or a
fem. n. of number, so that you say ثَلَاثَةٌ خَلَائِفَ and ثَلَاثُ خَلَائِفَ; (
ISk,
Msb,
TA;) both of which are chaste. (
Msb.) You say, كَانَ اللّٰهُ خَلِيفَةَ وَالِدِكَ عَلَيْكَ [May God be to thee a supplier of the place of thy father]: (
S,
Msb: *) and in like manner you say, to a person, of any one whom he has lost by death, (
S,
Msb,) and who cannot be replaced; as the paternal uncle; (
Msb;) or the mother. (
K.) Some say that the application of the title خَلِيفَةُ اللّٰهِ [The Vicegerent of God] is not allowable, except to Adam and David because there is express authority in these instances [in the
Kur ii. 28 and xxxviii. 25]; but others allow it in other cases, like سُلْطَانُ اللّٰهِ and جُنُودُ اللّٰهِ and حِزْبُ اللّٰهِ and خَيْلُ اللّٰهِ; all of which have been heard: (
Msb:) and
Zj says that it is allowable to say of the Imáms that they are خُلَفَآءُ اللّٰهِ فِى أَرْضِهِ [The Vicegerents of God in his earth]. (
TA.) خِلِّيفَةٌ: see the middle of the next paragraph.
خَالِفٌ: see خَلْفٌ, in the former half of the paragraph.
b2: Also One who remains behind, or after, another, (
Yz,
K,
TA,) or others, in the case of a war, or a warring and plundering expedition, and in other cases: (
TA:)
pl. خَالِفُونَ (
Yz,
K,
TA) and خَوَالِفُ, which latter is
extr. [in this case], but is also said to be a [
reg.]
pl. of ↓ خَالِفَةٌ, and as such to signify persons who do not go forth on a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition: and الغَازِى ↓ خَالِفَةُ signifies he who remains behind, or after, him who goes forth on such an expedition, being of his family. (
TA.) فَاقْعُدُوا مَعَ الخَالِفِينَ, in the
Kur [ix. 84], means Then stay ye with those who remain behind. (
Yz,
K. *) خَوَالِفُ is also
pl. of ↓ خَالِفَةٌ [as
fem. of خَالِفٌ], (
TA,) and signifies Women (
K,
TA) remaining behind in the houses or tents: but some assign to it the first of the meanings explained above: and some say that it means the children remaining behind. (
TA.) It is said in the
Kur [ix. 88 and 94], ↓ رَضُوا بِأَنْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ الخَوَالِفِ, i. e. [They chose to be] with the women: (
S,
K: *) thus it is explained by Ibn-'Arafeh: but some say that the meaning is, with the bad, or corrupt, persons; and that خوالف is here a
pl. [of خَالِفٌ,] like فَوَارِسُ. (
TA.) For
b3: خَالِفٌ is applied to a man [as meaning Bad, or corrupt]; and ↓ خَالِفَةٌ to a woman as meaning bad, or corrupt, and remaining behind in her abode: and the former to a slave as meaning bad, or corrupt: and also contrarious: and in this last sense it is likewise applied to a companion: and some of the grammarians say that there is no word of the measure فَاعِلٌ having its
pl. of the measure فَوَاعِلُ, except خَالِفٌ and هَالِكٌ and فَارِسٌ: but see this last: (
TA:) and ↓ خِلِّيفَةٌ, also, has this last signification; (
JK,
TA;) or [rather] signifies very contrarious; (
K;) as also ↓ خَالِفَةٌ; (
JK;) and so ↓ خِلَفْنَةٌ, and ↓ خِلَفْنَاةٌ, (
Lh,
JK,
K,) in each of which the ن is augmentative, and each of which is applied to a man and to a woman and to a
pl. number; (
Lh,
K;) but خِلَفْنَيَاتٌ has been mentioned as
pl. [of خلفناة], and as applied to males and females: (
TA:) and خَالِفُونَ is likewise used in this sense applied to a number of men. (
JK.)
b4: Also, applied to a slave, [and
app. to any man, but in this latter case I find it written خلف, which I believe to be a mistranscription,] One who has withdrawn from the people of his house: so says
Lh. (
TA.)
b5: Also Stupid; foolish; or having little, or no, intellect or understanding; as also ↓ خَالِفَةٌ, (
K,
TA,) but in an intensive sense, and also applied to a woman; (
TA;) and ↓ أَخْلَفُ, (
JK,
K,) of which the
fem. is خَلْفَآءُ; (
JK,
TA;) and ↓ خُلْفُفٌ, (
K,) or ↓ خُلْفَفٌ, (
L,) or both, (
JK,) likewise applied to a woman, as also ↓ خُلْفُفَةٌ, (
K,) or ↓ خُلْفَفَةٌ: (
JK:) or, as some say, خَالِفٌ signifies one in whom is no good: and, as also ↓ خَالِفَةٌ, one who has not what suffices: or who often breaks his promises: (
TA:) or both of these mean one who has not what suffices, and in whom is no good: or very contrarious. (
JM.) One says that a man is أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ↓ خَالِفَةُ and خَالِفُ, اهل بيته, meaning The one in whom is no good, of the people of his house: (
S,
K:) and the ungenerous: (
K:) or the stupid, or foolish: or the bad, or corrupt, and the evil: and it is [said to be]
tropical. (
TA.) And ↓ قَوْمٌ خَوَالِفٌ Persons in whom is no good. (
JK.)
b6: And, [

b3: مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ خَالِفَةَ هُوَ, the word خالفة being here imperfectly
decl., (
S,
K,) because of the
fem. gender and determinate, being explained by النَّاسِ, (
S,) or because determinate and occupying the place of a
pl., like as one says أَىُّ تَمِيمَ and أَىُّ أَسَدَ, [or rather, I think, because used as a proper name, as
MF, says, (though
SM disputes this,) and with the sign of the
fem. gender,] means I know not what one of mankind he is; (

TA:) which is hence applied to the angles, or corners, of a بَيْت:
Az says that the خَالِفَة of a بيت is [

أَطْنَاب, in the [part called] كِسْر [
q. v.]; and it is also called the خياصة, and the فرجة: [thus I find these two words written, without any

ex., مَا خِفْتُ حَتَّى هَتَكُوا الخَوَالِفَ [
app. meaning And I feared not until they rent open the skirts of the tent, or tents]: (

مُخْلِفٌ A camel that has exceeded in age the بَازِل; [which latter is generally one that has entered the ninth year;] (

Táïf: (
