(TA.) A2: A paternal uncle; a father's brother: (S, K:) pl. أَعْمَامٌ (S, Msb, K) and عُمُومٌ (TA) and عُمُومَةٌ (Sb, S, K) and أَعِمَّةٌ (CK) and أَعُمٌّ, (K,) a pl. of pauc., mentioned by Fr and IAar, (TA,) and pl. pl. أَعْمُمُونَ, (K, TA,) without idghám, by rule أَعُمُّونَ: (TA:) the female is termed ↓ عَمَّةٌ [i. e. a paternal aunt; a father's sister]: (K:) and the pl. of this is عَمَّاتٌ. (Msb.) One says, يَا ابْنَ عَمِّى and يا ابن عَمِّ (S, L) and يا ابن عَمَّ (L) and يا ابن عَمِ, (S, L, [but in one copy of the S I find the first three and not the last,]) the last without teshdeed, (L,) dial. vars.

And one says, هُمَا ابْنَا عَمٍّ [meaning Each of them two is a son of a paternal uncle of the other]; (S, IB, Msb, K;) because each of them says to the other, يَا ابْنَ عَمِّى; (IB;) and in like manner, ابْنَا خَالَةٍ; (S, IB, Msb, K;) because each of them says to the other, يَا ابْنَ جَالَتِى: (IB:) but one may not say, ↓ هُمَا ابْنَا عَمَّةٍ, nor ابْنَا خَالٍ; (S, IB, Msb, K;) because one of them says to the other, يَا ابْنَ خَالِى, but the latter says to the former, يَا ابْنَ عَمَّتِى. (IB.) And [عَمٌّ signifies also A paternal great uncle, &c.: therefore] one says, هُمَا ابْنَا عَمٍّ

لَحًّا [They two are cousins on the father's side, closely related]; and in like manner, ابْنَا خَالَةٍ

[do ye so] because it was created of the redundant portion of the earth, or clay, of Adam. (TA.) b3: And عَمٌّ signifies also Tall palm-trees, (K, TA,) of full tallness and abundance and density; (TA;) and ↓ عُمٌّ signifies the same: (K, TA:) [or so نَخْلُ عَمٌّ and عُمٌّ, which is perhaps meant in the K: for] عُمٌّ is an epithet applied to palm-trees, (S, K, TA,) and is pl. of عَمِيمَةٌ [fem. of عَمِيمٌ]. (S, K.) b4: And All [herbs such as are termed]

عُشْب. (Th, K.) عَمَّ in the phrase عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ [Respecting what do they ask one another? in the Kur lxxviii. 1] is originally عَمَّا, [for عَنْ مَا,] the ا being elided in the interrogation [after the prep. عَنْ]. (S.) عُمٌّ: see عَمٌّ, last sentence but one: A2: and see also عُمُمٌ.

(S, K.) عِمَامَةٌ [A turban;] the thing that one winds upon the head: (K:) pl. عمَائِمُ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ عِمَامٌ, (Lh, K,) the latter either a broken pl. of عِمَامَةٌ or [a coll. gen. n., i. e.,] these two words are of the class of طَلْحٌ and طَلْحَةٌ.

He slackened, or loosened, his turban,] means (assumed tropical:) he became, or felt, in a state of security, or safety, and at ease, or in easy circumstances; (K, TA;) because a man does not slacken, or loosen, his turban but in easy circumstances.

عُمِّىٌّ, like قُمِّىٌّ, (K, TA,) with damm, but in the M عم, (TA, [in which this word is thus doubtfully written, and has been altered, perhaps from عَمِّىٌّ, for قُمِّىٌّ is a word which I do not find in any case other than this, and if any word of the measure فُعْلِىٌّ were meant, أُمِّىٌّ would be a much better instance of similarity of form,]) an epithet applied to a man, i. q. عَامٌّ [app. meaning Of the common sort; like عَامِّىٌّ]: (K, TA:) and قُصْرِىٌّ or قَصْرِىٌّ, (accord. to different copies of the K,) in the M قَصْرى, (TA, [there thus written, only with a fet-hah to the ق and the sign of quiescence to the ص,]) signifies [the contr., i. e.] خَاصٌّ.

(KT. [The word in this sense is often used in the lexicons, but is expl. in few of them, as being conventional and post-classical.]) العَامَّةُ is the contr. of الخَاصَّةُ [i. e. the former signifies The commonalty, or generality of people; the people in common or in general; the common people; the common sort; or the vulgar]: (S, Msb, K:) the ة is a corroborative: (Msb:) and ↓ المَعَمَّةُ signifies the same as العَامَّةُ: (IAar, TA voce سَامٌّ:) the pl. of عَامَّةٌ is عَوَامُّ, (Msb,) and ↓ عَمَمٌ is quasi-pl. n. of عَامَّةٌ as contr. of خَاصَّةٌ.

(K.) مُعِمٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مِعَمٌّ, with kesr to the first letter, (K, TA, [in the CK, مِعَمُّ خَيْرِ بكَسْرِ اَوَّلِهِ is erroneously put for مِعَمٌّ بِكَسْرِ أَوَّلِهِ خَيّرٌ,]) One who is good, or very good, (K, TA,) who includes mankind in common, in general, or universally, within the compass of his goodness, (Kr, T, K, TA,) and his superabundant bounty; (T, TA;) and ↓ عَمَمٌ signifies the same: (K:) [see also an ex. and explanation voce مِثَمٌّ, in art. ثم:] مِعَمٌّ is almost the only instance of an epithet of the measure مِفْعَلٌ from a verb of the measure فَعَلَ, except مِلَمٌّ [and مِثَمٌّ, with both of which it is coupled].

(TA.) And you say, عُدَّ فِى قَوْمٍ He was numbered, or reckoned, among a people, or party. (S, K.) [And عَدَّ مَحَاسِنَهُ, and ↓ عَدَّدَهَا, inf. n. of the former عَدٌّ, and of either تَعْدَادٌ, He enumerated, or recounted, his good qualities or actions: a phrase of frequent occurrence.] b2: [Also He counted, or reckoned, as meaning he accounted, or esteemed, him, or it, good or bad &c.:] one says عَدَّهُ حَسَنًا He counted, accounted, reckoned, or esteemed, him, or it, good, or goodly; syn. اِسْتَحْسَنَهُ: (S in art. حسن, &c.:) and ↓ اعتدّ signifies the same as عَدَّ [in this sense]; whence the saying, وَيَعْتَدُّهُ قَوْمٌ كَثِيرٌ تِجَارَةً [And many people count it, or reckon it, as merchandise]. (Har p. 127.) 2 عَدَّّ see above, in two places. b2: عدّدهُ also signifies He made it a provision against the casualties of fortune: (S, O, K: see also 4:) so, accord. to Akh, in the Kur civ. 2: or, as some say, he made it numerous: (S, O:) or it may mean he reckoned it (Bd and Jel in civ. 2) time after time. (Bd.) 3 عَاْدَّ [عادّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا, inf. n. مُعَادَّةٌ and عِدَادٌ, app. signifies They enumerated, or recounted, their good qualities or actions, one to another: for] يَوْمُ العِدَادِ is expl. by Sh as meaning يَوْمُ الفِخَارِ وَمُعَادَّةِ بَعْضِهِمْ بَعْضًا [i. e.

[Hence,] one says, عادّهُ فِى المِيرَاثِ [He shared with him in the inheritance]. (S.) b3: [The inf. n.] عِدَادٌ also signifies The contributing equally, or clubbing, for the purchase of corn, or food, to eat: and a people's having money, or property, divided into lots, or portions, and distributed in shares among them: syn. بِدَادٌ; (T and L in art. بد from IAar, and O in the present art.;) and مُنَاهَدَةٌ. (T and L in art. بد from IAar, and O and K in the present art.) [You say, عادّ القَوْمُ: see بَادَّ] b4: عادّهُ, inf. n. مُعَادَّةٌ and عِدَادٌ, said of a malady, and of the pain of a venomous sting or bite, and of insanity, It intermitted, and returned to him. (TA.) It is said in a trad., (S, O,) مَا زَالَتْ أُكْلَةُ خَيْبَرَ تُعَادُّنِى (S, O, K) The pain of the poison of the food of Kheyber which I ate has not ceased to return to me at certain periods. (TA.) and one says, عَادَّتْهُ اللَّسْعَةُ The pain of the venomous sting, or bite, returned to him with vehemence at the expiration of a year. (S, O, K.) 4 أَعْدَدْتُهُ, (Msb,) inf. n. إِعْدَادٌ, (Msb, TA,) with which ↓ اِعْتِدَادٌ and ↓ اِسْتِعْدَادٌ and ↓ تَعْدَادٌ [as inf. n. of 2] are syn., (TA,) I made it ready, prepared it, or provided it. (Msb, TA. *) One says, اعدّهُ لِأَمْرِ كَذَا He made it ready, prepared it, or provided it, for such an affair. (S, O, K. *) And أَعْدَدْتُ لِلْأَمْرِ عُدَّتَهُ [I made ready, prepared, or provided, for the affair, its proper apparatus]. (TA.) Some say that أَعَدَّ is originally أَعْتَدَ; but others deny this. (L in art. عتد.) See also 1, former half.

A2: أَعَدَّ is also intrans.: [but when it is used as such, نَفْسَهُ may be considered as understood after it:] see 10.5 تَعَدَّّ [تعدّد It was, or became, numerous: often used in this sense. b2: Hence, one says,] هُمْ يَتَعَدَّدُونَ عَلَى عَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ They exceed in number ten thousand; and ↓ يَتَعَادُّونَ signifies the same; (S, O, K; *) or the latter means they participate, one with another, in such generous qualities as may be shared. (TA.) b3: See also 10.6 تعادّوا They shared, one with another, in a thing. (TA.) See also 5. [And see 3.]7 انعدّ: see what next follows.8 اعتدّ It was, or became, numbered, counted, reckoned, or computed. (S, O.) Many of the learned say that ↓ انعدّ should not be [thus] used as a quasi-pass. of عَدَّهُ: it is said to be vulgar, or bad. (MF.) A2: اعتدّهُ: see 1, first and last sentences. b2: One says also اعتدّ بِهِ (S, O, Msb) meaning He included it in a numbering, or reckoning. (Msb.) [And hence, He made account of it; accounted it a matter of importance. And لَا يُعْتَدُّ بِهِ No account is made of it, or him; it, or he, is not reckoned, or esteemed, as of any account, or importance: a phrase of frequent occurrence.]

A3: [He made it ready, prepared it, or provided it:] see 4. b2: See also 10.

A4: اِعْتَدَّتْ, said of a woman, She observed, or kept, the period of her عِدَّة [q. v.].

(A'Obeyd, Msb, &c.) A2: All except the last are also trans.: see 4.

R. Q. 1 عَدْعَدَ, (IAar, O, TA,) inf. n. عَدْعَدَةٌ, (IAar, O, K, TA,) He was quick, (IAar, TA,) or he hastened, and was quick, (O, K,) in walking, or going along, (IAar, O, K, TA,) &c. (IAar, TA.) A2: [And app. said of the sandgrouse (القَطَا) meaning It uttered its cry: see عَدْعَدَةٌ below.] Q. Q. 2 تَمَعْدَدَ, in which, accord. to Sb, the م is a radical letter, because of the rarity of the measure تَمَلْعَلَ, but others contradict him, (S, K, *) He assumed the dress, garb, habit, or external appearance, of the sons of Ma'add who was the son of 'Adnán, and who is called the Father of the Arabs [because through him all the descendants of Ismá'eel, or Ishmael, trace their ancestry], (S, O, K,) imitating them in their coarseness therein: (K:) or he asserted himself to be related to them: (S, O, K:) or he spoke their language: (TA:) or he affected, or constrained himself, to endure with patience their mode of life: (S, O, K:) or he imitated their mode of life, which was coarse and rude; abstaining from ease and luxury, and from the garb of the foreigners: (S, O:) and he (a boy) attained to the prime of manhood, and became thick, or coarse. (S, O, K.) 'Omar said, (S, O,) or not 'Omar, but the Prophet, (K,) اِخْشَوْشِنُوا وَتَمَعْدَدُوا, (S, O, * K, *) i. e. [Lead ye a rough, or coarse, life, and] imitate the mode of life of the sons of Ma'add, &c. (TA.) [See also art. معد.] b2: It is also used by the poet Maan Ibn-Ows for تَبَاعَدَ [He went, or withdrew himself, far away]: (S, O:) it means thus, and he went away into the country, or in the land. (TA.) عَدْ عَدْ A cry by which the mule is chidden; (Az, O, K;) like عَدَسْ. (Az, O.) عُدٌّ and ↓ عُدَّةٌ Pustules in the face: (IJ, TA:) or pustules that come forth in the faces of beautiful, or goodly, persons: (O, K:) pl. of the former [and app. of the latter also, which is probably a n. un.,] أَعْدَادٌ. (Marg. note in a copy of the S.) عِدٌّ Multitude, muchness, or abundance, (S, O, K,) in a thing. (K.) One says, إِنَّهُمْ لَذَوُو عِدٍّ وَقِبصٍ (in one of my copies of the S and in the O لَذُو, and in the other of my copies of the S and in the O قِبْضٍ,) [Verily they are many, or numerous]. b2: [It is also an epithet, signifying] Water having a continual increase; (S, O, K;) that does not cease; as the water of a spring; (S, O, Msb, K;) and of a well: (S, O, Msb:) or copious water of the earth: or spring-water; rain-water being called كَرَعٌ: (TA:) or old water, that does not become exhausted: (IDrd, TA:) or an old well; (M, O, K;) said in the M [and O] to be from حَسَبٌ عِدٌّ: (TA: [but see this in what follows:]) or in the dial. of Temeem, much water; but in the dial. of Bekr Ibn-Wáïl, little water: (AO, TA:) or well-water, whether little or much; so accord. to a woman of Kiláb; opposed to that of the rain: accord. to Lth, a place which men make, or prepare, wherein much water collects; but Az says that this is a mistake: (TA:) pl. أَعْدَادٌ. (S, A, O.) b3: And حَسَبٌ عِدٌّ (tropical:) Old nobility or the like: (M, A, O:) accord. to IDrd, from عِدٌّ applied to old water that does not become exhausted. (TA. [This derivation is probably correct: but see above.]) A2: See also عَدِيدٌ.

A3: And see the paragraph here following.

عُدَّةٌ Apparatus, equipments or equipage, accoutrements, furniture, gear, tackle or tackling, (S, O, L, Msb,) that one has prepared for the casualties of fortune, (S, O, L,) consisting of property and weapons, (S, O,) or of property, or weapons, or other things, (Msb,) or of implements, instruments, tools, or the like, and of beasts: (L:) accord. to some, formed from عُتْدَةٌ [q. v.]; but others deny this: (L in art. عتد:) pl. عُدَدٌ. (Msb.) One says, أَخَذَ لِلْأَمْرِ عُدَّتَهُ and عَتَادَهُ [He took, for the affair, his apparatus, &c.; or he prepared, or provided, himself for the affair]: both signify the same. (S, O.) b2: Also, (S, O,) and ↓ عِدٌّ, this latter of the dial. of Temeem, (A'Obeyd, Msb,) A state of preparation. (A'Obeyd, S, O, Msb.) One says, كُونُوا عَلَى عُدَّةٍ Be ye in a state of preparation. (S, O.) A2: See also عُدٌّ.

عِدَّةٌ an inf. n. of 1[q. v.]. (TA.) b2: And A number collected together; a number collectively. (TA.) You say, رَأَيْتُ عِدَّةَ رِجَالٍ I saw a number of men collected together. (TA.) And أَنْفَذْتُ عِدَّةَ كُتُبٍ I transmitted a number of letters together. (S, K, * TA.) b3: عِدَّةُ المَرْأَةِ The days of the menstruation of the woman, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) which she numbers, when she has been divorced, or when her husband has died; [until the expiration of which she may not marry again; the period being, in the case of a divorced woman, not pregnant, that of three menstruations]; or [in the case of a pregnant woman] the days of her pregnancy; or [in the case of a widow not pregnant] four months and ten nights: (TA:) or the woman's waiting the prescribed time after divorce, or after the death of her husband, until she may marry again: (Msb:) and the days of the woman's mourning for a husband, and of abstaining from the wearing of ornaments &c.; (K, TA;) whether it be a period of months or of menstruations, or the period completed by her giving birth to offspring in her womb, which she has conceived by her husband: (TA:) pl. عِدَدٌ. (Msb.) One says, اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا Her عِدَّة ended, (S, TA,) from the period of the death of her husband, or of his divorcing her. (TA.) b4: اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّةُ الرَّجُلِ means The man's term of life ended: pl. عِدَدٌ. (TA.) b5: And one says, فُلَانٌ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِى أَهْلَهُ العِدَّةَ Such a one comes to his wife, or family, only once in the month, or in the two months. (O, L.) See also عِدَادٌ, in two places.

عَدَدٌ a subst. from عَدَّهُ “ he numbered it; ” as also ↓ عَدِيدٌ: (S, O, K:) [originally] What is numbered, counted, reckoned, or computed: (O, Msb, K: [in the CK, a و is inadvertently omitted after the explanation of this meaning:]) [and hence,] a number; (Msb;) and ↓ عَدِيدٌ is syn. therewith [in this sense, as will be seen in what follows]; (A;) a quantity composed of units; and therefore not [properly] applicable to one; but accord. to the grammarians, one belongs to the predicament ofالعَدَدُ because it is the root thereof, and because it implies quantity, for when it is said “ How many hast thou? ” it is as proper to answer “ One ” as it is to answer “ Three ” &c.: (Msb:) pl. أَعْدَادٌ. (TA.) ↓ مَا أَكْثَرَ عَدِيدَهُمْ means عَدَدَهُمْ [i. e. How great is their number!]. (A.) Zj says that عَدَدٌ is sometimes used in the sense of an inf. n.; as in the phrase in the Kur [xviii. 10], سِنِينَ عَدَدًا: but many say that it is in this instance used in its proper sense, meaning مَعْدُودَةً [i. e. numbered], and is made masc. because سِنِين is syn. with أَعْوَام. (Msb.) In the phrase وَأَحْصَى

كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عَدَدًا, in the Kur [lxxii. last verse], it is used in its proper sense of مَعْدُودًا, and is put in the accus. case as a denotative of state; or it is used in this case as an inf. n. (IAth, O.) b2: It signifies also The years of a man's life, which one numbers, or counts. (IAar, O, K. [In the CK, after the words وَالعَدَدُ المعدُودُ, a و should be inserted.]) Hence the phrase رَقَّ عَدَدُهُ The years of his life, which he numbered, became few, the greater part having passed. (IAar, O.) عِدَدٌ: see the next paragraph.

عِدَادٌ an inf. n. of 3 [q. v.]. (TA.) b2: يَوْمُ العِدَادِ [as expl. by Sh: see 3, first sentence. b3: Also] The day of giving: (S, O:) العِدَاد signifies العَطَآء (S, O, K) in this phrase. (S, O.) b4: And i. q. يَوْمُ العَرْضِ [which generally means The day of the last judgment]. (TA.) b5: And one says, أَتَيْتُ فُلَانًا فِى يَوْمِ عِدَادٍ meaning I came to such a one on a Friday (يوم حُمُعَةٍ), or on a Minor Festival (يوم فِطْرٍ), or on a Great Festival (يوم أَضْحَى). (O, K, * TA.) b6: And لَقِيتُ فُلَانًا عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا, (S, O, K,) or عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا القَمَرَ, and فِى

نُزُولِ القَمَرِ الثُّرَيَّا, (TA,) meaning I met such a one once in the month: (S, O, K:) because the moon makes its abode in الثريّا [the Pleiades, its third Mansion,] once in every month: (S, O:) IB [understood the meaning to be, once in the year; for he] asserts that, correctly, J should have said, because the moon is in conjunction with الثريّا once in every year, and that is on the fifth day of [the Syrian month] Ádhár [corresponding to March O. S.], agreeably with what is said in a verse of Ibn-Holáhil which will be found cited in what follows: but [this verse evidently relates to what was the case in its author's time; for it is well known that] the moon traverses the firmament once in every month, and is every night in a [different], Mansion, and it is therefore in [the Mansion of] الثريّا once in every month. (L, TA.) [Accord. to some,] one says, لَا آتِيكَ

إِلَّا عِدَادَ القَمَرِ الثُّرَيَّا, meaning I will not come to thee save once in the year: because the moon makes its abode in الثريّا but once in the year: (A:) and مَا يَأْتِينَا فُلَانٌ إِلَّا عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا القَمَرَ, and إِلَّا قِرَانَ القَمَرِ الثُّرَيَّا, meaning Such a one comes not to us save once in the year: and مَا أَلْقَاهُ إِلَّا الثُّرَيَّا القَمَرَ ↓ عِدَّةَ, and الّا عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا القَمَرَ, and الّا عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا مِنَ القَمَرِ, meaning I do not meet him save once in the year: (TA:) [but these explanations are probably founded upon a want of due consideration of a statement which here follows:] after citing this verse of Aseed, or Useyd, or Useiyid, [written in the TA اسيد,] Ibn-Holáhil, or Ibn-El-Holáhil, [thus differently written in different places,] إِذَا مَا قَارَنَ القَمَرُ الثُّرَيَّا لِثَالِثَةِ فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ الشِّتَآءُ [When the moon is in conjunction with the Pleiades in a third night, then winter has departed], AHeyth said, [as though what was the case at a particular period of a cycle were the case generally,] the moon is in conjunction with الثريّا only in a third night from the new moon, [meaning only once in the year in the third night,] and that is in the beginning of spring and the end of winter. (TA.) b7: And عِدَادٌ and ↓ عِدَدٌ, (S, O, K,) the latter a contraction of the former, used by poetic license, (S, O,) signify A paroxysm of pain which a person stung or bitten by a venomous reptile suffers on the completion of a year from the day on which he was stung or bitten: (S, O, K: *) a paroxysm of pain occurring at a certain period: (A:) a paroxysm such as that of a tertian, or quartan, fever; and the pain of poison which kills at a certain period: and the regular period of the return of a fever is called its عِدَاد. (TA.) One says, أَتَتْهُ اللَّسْعَةُ لِعِدَادٍ The pain of the venomous sting, or bite, returned to him with vehemence at the expiration of a year. (S, O, * K.) And بِهِ مَرَضٌ عِدَادٌ He has a malady that intermits and returns. (A.) And عِدَادُ السَّلِيمِ is said to signify A period of seven days from that on which the person has received a venomous sting or bite: when it has expired, his recovery is hoped for: as long as it has not expired, one says, هُوَ فِى

عِدَادِهِ. (A, TA.) [See also 3.] b8: عِدَادٌ signifies also The time of death. (O, K.) b9: And A day, or night, when the family of a person deceased assemble together to wail for him. (ISk, TA.) b10: And A touch of insanity or diabolical possession: (S, O, K:) or an affection resembling insanity or diabolical possession, that takes a man at certain times. (Az, TA.) One says, بِالرَّجُلِ عِدَادٌ In the man is a touch of insanity [&c.]. (S, O.) b11: And The twanging of a bow; (S, O, K; *) and so ↓ عَدِيدٌ. (O, K.) b12: See also the next paragraph, in five places: b13: and see عَدِيدَةٌ.

عَدِيدٌ: see عَدَدٌ, in three places. b2: Also A man who introduces himself into a tribe, to be numbered, or reckoned, as belonging to it, but has no kindred in it: (Msb:) or عَدِيدٌ قَوْمٍ signifies one who is numbered, or reckoned, among a people, (K, TA,) but is not with them (معهم [app. a mistranscription for مِنْهُمْ of them]); as also ↓ عِدَادٌ. (TA.) One says, فُلَانٌ عَدِيدُ بَنِى فُلَانٍ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) and ↓ مِنْ عِدَادِهِمْ, (Msb,) Such a one is numbered, or reckoned, among the sons of such a one. (S, Mgh, O, Msb.) And فِى بَنِى ↓ عِدَادُهُ فُلَانٍ He is numbered among the sons of such a one in the دِيوَان [or register of soldiers or pensioners]. (S, O, K.) And أَهْلِ ↓ فُلَانٌ فِى عِدَادِ الخَيْرِ Such a one is numbered, or reckoned, among the people of goodness, or of wealth. (S, O.) b3: And A like, or an equal; [originally, in number;] (A, O, K;) as also ↓ عِدٌّ and ↓ عِدَادٌ: (IAar, O, K:) pl. of the first عَدَائِدُ; and of the second and third أَعْدَادٌ. (TA.) One says, هٰذِهِ الدَّرَاهِمُ عَدِيدُ هٰذِهِ These dirhems are equal to these. (A, * TA.) And هُمْ عَدِيدُ الحَصَى وَالثَّرَى They are equal in multitude, or quantity, to the pebbles and the moist earth; (S, * O, * TA;) i. e. they are innumerable. (TA.) The saying of Aboo-Duwád, describing a mare, وَطِمِرَّةٍ كَهِرَاوَةِ الأَعْزَابِ لَيْسَ لَهَا عَدَائِدْ Th explains by saying that he likens her to the staff of the wayfarer, because of her being smooth, as though عدائد here meant knots: [so that, accord. to him, we should render the verse thus: and compact in make, or swift and excellent, like the staff of those who go far away with their camels to pasture, having no knots:] but Az says that the meaning is, [like Hiráwet-el-Aazáb (a celebrated mare)], having no equals. (TA.) A2: See also عِدَادٌ, last sentence but one.

عَدِيدَةٌ A lot, portion, or share: (IAar, O, K:) like غَدِيدَةٌ: (IAar, O:) pl. عَدَائِدُ; (IAar, O, TA;) with which ↓ عِدَادٌ is syn.: and عَدَائِدُ signifies also property divided into shares; and an inheritance [so divided]. (TA.) Lebeed says, تَطِيرُ عَدَائِدُ الأَشْرَاكِ شَفْعًا وَوِتْرًا وَالزَّعَامَةُ لِلْغُلَامِ The portions of property and inheritance of the sharers fly away in the course of time, two together and singly; but the lordship, or mastery, is still remaining for the boy: (IAar, TA:) or the poet means those who share with him [i. e. with the boy] (مَنْ يُعَادُّهُ) in the inheritance: or it (عدائد) is from عُدَّةُ المَالِ [i. e. what one prepares for a future time, of property]: (S, O:) for عدائد, in this verse, some read غَدَائِدُ. (L in art. غد [q. v.]) [See also زَعَامَةٌ.]

عِدَّانٌ and عَدَّانٌ The time, or period, of a thing; (IAar, K, TA;) as in the phrase أَنَا عَلَى عَدَّانِ ذٰلِكَ I was at the time, or period, of that; (IAar, TA;) and in the saying جِئْتُ عَلَى عَدَّانِ تَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ I came at the time of thy doing that; (TA;) and thus in the saying كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى عَدَّانِ فُلَانٍ

That was in the time of such a one: (S, O:) or the first, and best, or most excellent, part, (K, TA,) and the most, (TA,) of a thing; (K, TA;) accord. to Az, from أَعَدَّهُ “ he prepared it; ” and so in the saying كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى عَدَّانِ شَبَابِهِ and مُلْكِهِ [That was in the first and best and chief part of his young manhood and of his dominion]. (TA.) [See also art. عدن.]

A2: عِدَّانٌ as a contraction of عِتْدَانٌ: see عَتُودٌ, of which it is a pl. عَدْعَدَةٌ inf. n. of عَدْعَدَ [q. v.]. (IAar, O.) A2: And The cry, or crying, of the sand-grouse (القَطَا): (A 'Obeyd, O, K:) app. onomatopoetic. (A 'Obeyd, O.) جَيْشٌ أَعَدُّ An army in the most complete state of preparation, or equipment. (TA, from a trad.) مَعَدٌّ The side (ISd, TA) of a man and of a horse &c.: (L in art. معد [in which it is fully explained]:) المَعَدَّانِ signifies the places of the two boards of the saddle (S, * O, * A, K, * TA) upon the two sides of the horse. (A, TA.) One says, عَرِقَ مَعَدَّاهُ [The parts of his sides beneath the two boards of the saddle sweated]. (A, TA.) اللِّبْسَةُ المَعَدِّيَّةُ The mode of dress of the sons of Ma'add, which was coarse and rude. (S, from a trad. [See Q. Q. 2.]) مَعْدُودٌ [meaning Numbered, counted, reckoned, or computed,] is applied to any number, little or large; but مَعْدُودَاتٌ more particularly denotes few; and so does every pl. formed by the addition of ا and ت, as دُرَيْهِمَاتٌ and حَمَامَاتٌ; though it is allowable to use such a pl. to denote muchness. (Zj, TA.) الأَيَّامُ المَعْدُودَاتُ signifies The days called أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) the three days next after the day of the sacrifice [which is the tenth of Dhu-l-Hijjeh]; thus called because they are few. (TA.) and one also says دَرَاهِمُ مَعْدُودَةٌ [lit. Numbered, or counted, dirhems] as meaning a few dirhems. (TA.) المُعَيْدِىُّ is the dim. of المَعَدِّىُّ, (S, O, K,) meaning He whose origin is referred to Ma'add, (S, O, TA,) and is originally المُعَيْدِدِىُّ, then المُعَيْدِّىُّ, and then المُعَيْدِىُّ, (IDrst, TA,) thus pronounced without the teshdeed of the د because the double teshdeed, (IDrst, S, O, K, TA,) that of the د with that of the ى after it, (IDrst, TA,) is found difficult of pronunciation, (IDrst, S, O, K, TA,) combined with the ى that denotes the dim.: (S, O, K:) it is thus pronounced in the prov., أَنْ تَسْمَعَ بِالْمُعَيْدِىِّ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَرَاهُ [Thy hearing of the Mo'eydee is better than thy seeing him]: (Ks, S, O:) or تَسْمَعُ بالمعيدىّ خير من ان تراه, (K, TA,) which means the same, the ع in تسمع being pronounced with damm because أَنْ is suppressed before it; but some pronounce it with nasb, regarding أَنْ as understood, though this is anomalous: (TA:) or تَسْمَعُ بِالْمُعَيْدِىِّ لَا

أَنْ تَرَاهُ; as though meaning hear thou of the Mo'eydee, but do not see him: (ISk, S, O, K:) of which three variants, the second is that which is best known: so says A 'Obeyd: (TA:) the prov. is applied to him who is of good repute, but whose outward appearance is contemned. (S, O, K, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 223.]) مُعْتَدٌّ بِهِ A thing included in a numbering, or reckoning. (Msb.) [And hence, A thing of which account is made; that is accounted a matter of importance. See the verb.]

مُسْتَعِدَّاتٌ is used in a verse of Ibn-Mukbil as meaning The legs of a she-camel. (AA, TA voce أَطَامِيمُ, q. v.)

سكن

1 سَكَنَ, (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (L,) inf. n. سُكُونٌ, (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) said of a thing, (S, L,) of a thing that moves, (Mgh, Msb,) It was, or became, still, motionless, stationary, in a state of rest, quiet, calm, or unruffled, (هَدَأَ, Abu-l-'Abbás, L, or قَرَّ, K,) after motion; (Abu-l-'Abbás, L;) its motion [ceased, or] went away; (L, Msb;) and in like manner said of a man, and of a beast: (Abu-l-'Abbás, L:) and said of anything such as wind and heat and cold and the like; of rain; [and of pain;] and of anger; [&c.;] it was, or became, still, calm, tranquillized, appeased, allayed, assuaged, or quelled; [it died away, passed away, or ceased to be: and it remitted, or subsided; became alleviated, light, slight, or gentle:] and said of a man [or beast or the like, and of a voice or sound], he [or it] was, or became, still, or silent. (L.) [Hence,] one says, سَكَنَ الدَّمْعُ, and الدَّمُ, meaning رَقَأَ [The tears, and the blood, stopped, or ceased to flow]. (S and Mgh in art. رقاٌ.) [And one says of heat, and cold, and pain, &c., سَكَنَ عَنْهُ It passed away from him; quitted him. And سَكَنَتِ النَّارُ The fire became extinguished; or became allayed or assuaged; subsided; or ceased to flame or blaze or burn fiercely,] b2: [Hence also, It (a letter) was or became, quiescent; i. e., without a vowel immediately following it; contr. of تَحَرَّكَ.] b3: And سَكَنَ إِلَيْهِ, (Msb, [where the aor. is said to be سَكِنَ, but this is either a mistake or rare, for the aor. accord. to common usage is سَكُنَ, as in the Kur vii.] 189 and xxx. 20,]) inf. n. سُكُونٌ (Mgh, Msb) and سَكَنٌ, (Msb,) He trusted to it, or relied upon it, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; i. q. رَكَنَ إِلَيْهِ; (S and K &c. in art. ركن;) and اِطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهِ; (TA in art. طمن;) [and اِعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِ; and وَثِقَ بِهِ; &c.; and he inclined to it; syn. مَالَ إِلَيْهِ; and became familiar with it; syn. اِسُتَأْنَسَ بِهِ, and أَلِفَ; agreeably with explanations here following;] namely, a thing: (Msb:) and سَكَنَ إِلَيْهَا, aor. ـُ he trusted to her, or relied upon her, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; &c., as above; syn. اِطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهَا; (Ksh and Bd in vii. 189, and Ksh in xxx. 20;) and مَالَ إِلَيْهَا; (Ksh in vii. 189, and the same and Bd in xxx. 20;) and اِسْتَأْنَسَ بِهَا, and أَلِفَ; (Bd in the same two places;) namely, his wife. (Ksh and Bd.) b4: And سَكَنَ الَّدارَ, (S, MA, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) and فِى الدَّارِ, (Mgh, Msb,) and بِالمَكَانِ, (L,) aor. ـُ (L, Msb, JM,) inf. n. سُكْنَى (MA, Mgh, L, JM) and سُكُونٌ (MA, L) and سُكْنٌ, (MA,) or ↓ سُكْنَى is a simple subst., and the inf. n. is سكن, (Msb, [accord. to which the latter is app. سَكَنٌ, for it is there said that the verb in this case is like طَلَبَ, the unaugmented inf. n. of which is طَلَبٌ, but this inf. n. سَكَنُ I have not found elsewhere, and what is generally used as the inf. n. or quasi-inf. n. of the verb in this case is ↓ سُكْنَى,]) or ↓ سُكْنَى is a subst. in the sense of إِسْكَانٌ, as expl. below, (Mgh,) [or rather it is also a subst. in this sense,] He inhabited, or dwelt or abode in, the house [and the place]. (MA, Mgh.) وَلَهُ مَا سَكَنَ فِى اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ, in the Kur [vi. 13], is from السُّكْنَى (Ksh, Bd) or from السُّكُونُ: (Bd:) if from the former, (Ksh, Bd,) it signifies To Him belongeth what taketh up its abode in the night and the day; (IAar, Ksh, * Bd, * L, Jel;) meaning, what the night and the day include within their limits: (Ksh, * Bd:) or, if from السُّكُونُ, (Bd,) what is still, or motionless, (Abu-l-'Abbás, Bd, L,) and what moves; one of the two contraries being mentioned as sufficient [to show what is intended] without the other; (Bd;) app. meaning the creation, collectively, or all created beings. (Abu-l-'Abbás, L.) b5: And سَكَنَ, (L, K,) aor. ـُ (K,) He became such as is termed مِسْكِين [q. v.]; (L, K;) as also سَكُنَ, (K,) and ↓ اسكن, and ↓ تسكّن, and ↓ تَمَسْكَنَ: (L, K:) and [thus it means particularly] he was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive; and low, abject, abased, and weak; as also ↓ اسكن, (L,) and ↓ تسكّن, and ↓ تَمَسْكَنَ; (S, * L;) the former of these being the regular form, (S, L,) and the more common and more chaste; (L;) the latter of them anomalous, [from المِسْكِينُ,] like تَمَنْدَلَ from المِنْدِيلُ, and تَمَدْرَعَ from المِدْرَعَةُ; (S, L;) and ↓ استكن, (L, Msb,) and ↓ اِسْتَكَانَ, of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ (L, Msb, K) from المَسْكَنَةُ (L, K) or from السُّكُونُ, (Msb,) with ا added, (L, Msb,) the vowel of the medial radical letter being thus rendered full in sound, (L, Msb, K,) or it is of the measure اِسْتَفْعَلَ from الكِينَةُ, signifying “ evil state or condition,” (Msb,) or from الكَيْنُ signifying “ the [piece of] flesh in the interior of the vulva,” because he who is lowly and abject is the most obscure of mankind. (L. [See also arts.

كون and كين.]) 2 سكّنهُ, (S, L, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَسْكِينٌ, (S, L, K,) He, or it, caused it to be, or become, still, motionless, stationary, in a state of rest, quiet, calm, or unruffled; (S, * L, Msb, K;) namely, a thing: (S, L, Msb:) [and caused it, namely, anything such as wind, and heat, and cold, and the like, as rain, and pain, and anger, to be, or become, still, or calm; stilled, calmed, tranquillized, appeased, allayed, assuaged, or quelled, it; caused it to die away, pass away, or cease to be: and caused it to remit, or subside; to become alleviated, light, slight, or gentle: and caused him, and it, namely, a man or beast or the like, and a voice or sound, to become still, or silent: (see 1, first sentence:)] and ↓ اسكنهُ signifies the same. (L.) [Hence,] one says of God, سكّن دَمْعَهُ, meaning أَرْقَأَهُ [He caused his tears to stop, or cease flowing]. (S and TA in art. رقأ.) b2: [and hence, He made it (a letter) quiescent; i. e., made it to be without a vowel immediately following it; contr. of حَرَّكَهُ.]

A2: تَسْكِينٌ also signifies The straightening a cane, or spear, (صَعْدَة,) with fire [which is termed السَّكَن]. (IAar, L, K.) A3: and The constantly riding a light and swift ass which is termed سُكَيْن. (IAar, L, K.) 3 ساكنهُ, inf. n. مُسَاكَنَةٌ, i. q. جَاوَرَهُ [meaning He lived in his neighbourhood, or near to him]. (TA in art. جور.) 4 اسكن: see 1, near the end, in two places.

A2: اسكنهُ: see 2, first sentence. b2: [Hence,] said of poverty, It made him to be little, or seldom, in motion. (Aboo-Is-hák, L, K.) b3: And, said of God, He made him to be such as is termed مِسْكِين [q. v.]. (L, K.) b4: And اسكنهُ الدَّارَ, (S, L, Msb, K,) or المَنْزِلَ, (MA,) He made him [or gave him] to inhabit the house, or abode; (S, * MA, L, * Msb, * K; *) he lodged him therein. (MA.) 5 تسكّن, said of a man, is from السَّكِينَةُ [i. e. He had, or possessed, or affected, the quality thus termed; meaning he was, or became, or affected to be, calm, tranquil, grave, staid, steady, or sedate; &c.]. (L.) See also Q. Q. 2, below: and see 1, above, near the end, in two places.8 استكن, and its var. or syn. اِسْتَكَانَ: see 1, near the end. Q. Q. 2 تَمَسْكَنَ He affected to be like, or he imitated, such as are termed مَسَاكِين [pl. of مِسْكِينٌ, q. v.]. (IAth, L.) b2: See also 1, near the end, in two places. You say, تَمَسْكَنَ لِرَبِهِ He humbled, or abased, himself to his Lord; or addressed himself with earnest, or energetic, supplication to Him: and ↓ تسكّن is like تَمَسْكَنَ. (Lh, L.) سَكْنٌ, a quasi-pl. n. of ↓ سَاكِنٌ, like as شَرْبٌ is of شَارِبٌ, called by Akh a pl., (L,) The inhabitants, people, or family, of a house or tent; (S, L, K;) a household. (L.) b2: And The collective body of the people of a tribe: one says, تَحَمَّلَ السَّكْنُ فَذَهَبُوا [The collective body of the people of the tribe bound the loads, or burdens, upon their beasts, and went away]. (Lh, L.) b3: See also سَكَنٌ. b4: And see the paragraph here next following.

سُكْنٌ: see سُكْنَى. b2: And see also مَسْكَنٌ, in three places. b3: Also, (L, JM, [thus written in both, and expressly said in the latter to be “ with damm,”]) or ↓ سَكَنٌ, (thus in copies of the K,) or ↓ سَكْنٌ, (thus in the CK,) [but the first is app. the right,] Food, aliment, or victuals, syn. قُوتٌ; (L, K, JM;) like نُزْلٌ meaning “ food (طَعَام, L, JM) of a party alighting to partake of it,” and said to be called سُكْنٌ because by means of it a place is inhabited, like as the نُزْل of an army means the “ appointed rations of an army alighting at a place. ” (L.) سَكَنٌ A thing, (S, L, Msb, K,) of any kind, (S, L,) to which one trusts, or upon which one relies, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; (S, L, Msb, K;) and in like manner, a person, or persons, to whom one trusts, &c.: applied in this sense to a family, or wife, (L, Msb,) as well as to property, (Msb,) &c.: (L, Msb:) and hence [particularly] signifying a wife. (L.) One says, [app. using it in this sense, as seems to be indicated by the context in the S,] فُلَانٌ أْبْنُ السَّكَنِ [Such a one is the son of the سَكَن]; and As used to say ↓ السَّكْنِ: (S, L:) accord. to Ibn-Habeeb, one says سَكَن and سَكْن. (L.) And it is said in the Kur [vi. 96], جَعَلَ

أْللَّيْلَ سَكَنًا He hath made, or appointed, the night to be a resource for ease, or quiet. (L.) And in the same [ix. 104], إِنَّ صَلَوَاتِكَ سَكَنٌ لَهُمْ, i. e. [Verily thy prayers for forgiveness are] a cause of ease, or quiet, to them. (Zj, L.) [And ↓ سُكْنَةٌ seems to have a similar meaning: for] ISh says, تَغْطِيَةُ الوَجْهِ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ سُكْنَةٌ, app. [The covering of the face on the occasion of sleep is a cause of ease, or quiet,] in the case of loneliness, or of fear arising therefrom. (L.) And it is said in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا فِى أَرْضِنا سَكَنَهَا, meaning O God, send down upon us, in our land, the succour, or relief, of its inhabitants, [app. alluding to rain,] to which they may trust so as to be easy, or quiet, in mind. (L.) b2: Also i. q. مَسْكِنٌ. (Lh, L, and Ham p. 400.) See the latter word, in three places. b3: And Fire; [app. first applied thereto as being a cause of ease, or comfort;] (S, L, K;) as in the saying [of a rájiz], وَسَكَنٍ تُوقَدُ فِىمِظَلَّهْ [And a fire kindled in a large tent of hair-cloth, or in a booth, or shed], (S, L,) describing himself as driven to have recourse thereto by the night, and by a moist wind, or a wind cold with moisture; and [afterwards used without any allusion to its being a cause of ease, or comfort,] as in the saying of another, describing a cane, أَقَامَهَا بِسَكَنٍ وَأَدْهَانْ meaning He straightened it with fire and oils. (L.) b4: And Mercy, pity, or compassion. (K, [See also سَكِينَةٌ.]) b5: And i. q. بَرَكَةٌ [A blessing; prosperity, or good fortune; increase; &c.]. (K.) A2: See also سُكْنٌ:

سَكْنَةٌ A quiescence of a letter; its having no vowel immediately following; opposed to حَرَكَةٌ: pl. سَكَنَاتٌ.] b2: تَرَكْتُهُمْ عَلَى سَكَنَاتِهِمْ: see سَكِنَةٌ.

سُكْنَةٌ: see سَكَنٌ.

سَكِنَةٌ A place; [properly] a place of habitation or abode: pl. سَكِنَاتٌ. (L.) It is said in a trad., اِسْتَقِرُّوا عَلَى سَكِنَاتِكُمْ فَقَدِ انْقَطَعَتِ الهِجْرَةُ, (S, L, K, *) i. e. Rest ye, or remain ye, at your places, (S, L,) or in your places of habitation or abode, (S, L, K,) for emigration has [ended, having] become no longer needful. (L.) And one says, النَّاسُ عَلَى سَكِنَاتِهِمْ, [virtually] meaning, accord. to Fr, The people are in their right state: (S, L:) and in like manner is expl. the saying, تَرَكْتُهُمْ عَلَى سَكِنَاتِهِمْ and ↓ سَكَنَاتِهِمْ and نَزَلَاتِهِمْ; but the approved explanation is, [I left them] at their places of habitation, which is that of Th; or, as in the M, their places of alighting, or abode. (L.) b2: Also The part, of the neck, which is the resting-place of the head. (S, L, K.) So in the saying, (S, L,) attributed to several poets, (L,) بِضَرْبِ يُزِيلُ الهَامَ عَنْ سَكِنَاتِهِ [With a smiting that removes the heads from their resting-places on the necks]. (S, L.) سُكْنَى is an inf. n. of سَكَنَ in the phrase سَكَنَ الدَّارَ: (MA, Mgh, L, JM:) or a simple subst. therefrom: (Msb:) or a subst. in the sense of إِسْكَانٌ, like رُقْبَى in the sense of إِرْقَابٌ: (Mgh:) see 1, in three places: or it is a subst. (S, L, K) also (L) from أَسْكَنَهُ الدَّارَ, (S, L, K,) like as عُتْبَى is from إِعْتَابٌ, (S, L,) and so is ↓ سَكَنٌ, (Lh, L, K,) [which is app. mentioned in the Msb as an inf. n. of the former verb,] signifying, as also ↓ سُكْنٌ, [so in one place, as on the authority of Lth, in the L, and said in the MA to be, like سُكْنَى, an inf. n. of the verb first mentioned above,] The making [or giving] a man a place, or an abode, to inhabit, without rent; (L, and Ham p. 400 in explanation of the first of these words;) the term سُكْنَى being similar to عُمْرَى. (L.) b2: See also مَسْكَنٌ, in five places.

سُكَيْنٌ An ass light, or active, and quick, or swift: and سُكَيْنَةٌ is applied to a she-ass (L, K) in the same sense. (L.) b2: Hence the latter is used as a name for (assumed tropical:) A girl, or young woman, or a female slave, that is of a light, or an active, spirit. (L.) b3: The former also signifies A wild ass. (L.) b4: And السُّكَيْنَةُ is the name of The gnat that entered into the nose of Numrood [or Nimrod].

(Har p. 62.) One says of a man who is calm or tranquil, or grave &c., عَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ [Upon him is resting, or abiding, calmness &c.]. (L.) And it is said in a trad., respecting the Prophet, on the occasion of the coming down of revelation, فَغَشِيَتْهُ السَّكِينَةُ, meaning And calmness, or tranquillity, and غَيْبَة [i. e., as here used, absence of mind from self and others by its being exclusively occupied by the contemplation of divine things], came upon him. (L.) And in the Kur [ii. 249], it is said, [with reference to the coming of the ark of the covenant,] فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ, meaning [In which shall be] a cause of your becoming tranquil, [or easy in your minds,] when it cometh to you [from your Lord]: (Zj, L, K:) or, as some say, there was in it a head like that of the cat; when it uttered a cry, victory betided the Children of Israel: (L:) or a thing having a head like that of the cat [and a tail like that of the cat (Bd)], of chrysolite and sapphire, and a pair of wings: (L, K:) or an image like the cat, that was with them among their forces, on the appearance of which their enemies were routed: or an animal having a face like that of a human being, compact [in substance], the rest thereof being unsubstantial like the wind and the air: or the images of the Prophets, from Adam to Mohammad: (Bd:) or the signs, or miracles, with the performance of which Moses was endowed, and to which they trusted so as to be easy, or quiet, in their minds: (L:) or by the تَابُوت to which these words refer is meant the heart, [or rather the chest, i. e. bosom,] and the سكينة is the knowledge, and purity, or sincerity, in the heart [or bosom]. (Bd.) In a trad. of' Alee, respecting the building. of the Kaabeh, it is said, فَأَرْسَلَ اللّٰه إِلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةَ, meaning [And God sent to him] the wind swift in its passage. (L.) سُكَيْنَةٌ fem. of سُكَيْنٌ [q. v.]. (L, K. *) الطُّرَّةُ السُّكَيْنِيَّةُ [The hair over the forehead (of a girl or woman) that is cut with a straight, or even, edge, or with two such edges one above the other, so as to form a kind of border, after the fashion of Sukeyneh,] is so called in relation to Sukeyneh the daughter of El-Hoseyn. (S, L, K.) سَكَّانٌ A maker of سَكَاكِين [or knives], (ISd, L, K, *) pl. of سِكِينٌ; (ISd, L;) as also ↓ سَكَاكِينِىٌّ, (ISd, L, K,) which latter is held by ISd to be post-classical, being formed from the pl., whereas by rule it should be formed from the sing. (L.) سُكَّانٌ The ذَنَب, (Lth, S, MA, Mgh, L,) [i. e.] the rudder, (MA, KL, PS,) of a ship or boat, (Lth, S, MA, Mgh, L,) by means of which it is rightly directed, (Lth, Mgh, * L,) and made still, or steady; (Mgh, L;) its خَدْف; (AA, L;) i. q. خَيْزُرَانٌ and كَوْثَلٌ [meaning the same, or its tiller]: (A 'Obeyd, L:) it is an Arabic word. (L.) Hence the saying of Tarafeh, (L,) likening to it the elevated neck of a she-camel, as being long, and quick in motion, (EM p. 73,) [and thus app. applying it to the upper and narrow part of a rudder,] كَسُكَّانِ بُوصِىٍ بِدِجْلَةَ مُصْعِدِ (L, EM,) i. e.

A knife; (MA, PS;) i. q. مُدْيَةٌ; (L;) as also ↓ سِكِّينَةٌ, (ISd, L, K,) a dial. var., (ISd, L,) occurring in a trad., but the former is that which is commonly known: (L:) so called because it stills the animals slaughtered with it: (Az, L, Msb:) of the measure فِعِّيلٌ: (IDrd, L, Msb:) or, accord. to some, its ن is augmentative, so that it is of the measure فِعْلِينٌ: (Msb:) it is masc., and sometimes fem.: (Zj, IAmb, * L, Msb, K: *) not heard as fem. by IAar: (L:) held to be only masc. by Az and As and some others: (Msb:) but sometimes it occurs in poetry as fem. on the ground of meaning [as being syn. with مُدْيَةٌ or شَفْرَهٌ], (Msb,) and as such it occurs in a trad.: (L:) the pl. is سَكَاكِينُ.

(TA.) مِسْكِينٌ (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K, &c.) and مَسْكِينٌ, (L, Msb, K,) the latter anomalous, for there is no [other] instance of the measure مَفْعِيلٌ, (L,) of the dial. of Benoo-Asad, (L, Msb,) mentioned by Ks as heard by him from some one or more of that tribe, (L,) others saying مِسْكِينٌ, (Msb,) of the measure مِفْعِيلٌ (L) from السُّكُونُ, because the person to whom it is applied trusts to, or relies upon, others, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind: (Mgh, L, Msb:) primarily, (L,) it signifies Lowly, humble, or submissive; (IAth, Mgh, L;) and therefore the Prophet said, اَللّٰهُمَّ أَحْيِنِى مِسْكِينًا وَأَمِتْنِى مِسْكِينًا وَاْحْشُرْنِى فِى زُمْرَةِ المَسَاكِينِ [O God, make me to live lowly, and make me to die lowly, and gather me among the congregation of the lowly]: (Mgh, * L:) and hence it sometimes applies to him who possesses little and [sometimes] to him who possesses much: (L:) sometimes, (S,) it signifies (S, IAth, L, Msb, K) also (IAth, L) low, abject, ignominious, or in a state of abasement or humiliation; (S, IAth, L, Msb, K;) and weak; (S, L, K;) and subdued, or oppressed; though possessing riches or competence: (Msb:) [therefore] Sb says, it is one of the words expressive of pity, or compassion; [and as such may be rendered poor;] you say, مَرَرْت بِهِ المِسْكِينَ [I passed by him, I mean the poor man], putting it in the accus. case by the implication of أَعْنِى, though it may be in the genitive case as a substitute [for the pronoun], and in the nom. case by the suppression of هُوَ meant to be understood: (L:) in other cases, (S,) it is syn. with فَقِيرٌ, (S, L, Msb,) meaning (Msb) destitute, i. e. possessing nothing: (L, Msb, K:) or accord. to ISk, مسكين means thus; but the فقير is he who possesses a sufficiency of the means of subsistence: (Msb:) or the former means possessing somewhat; (L;) or [rather] needy, i. e. possessing what is not sufficient (L, K) for him (K) or for his family: (L:) or caused by poverty to have little power of motion; (L, K;) thus expl. by Aboo-Is-hák; but this is improbable; for مسكين has the meaning of an active part. n., and his explanation [like one of the others mentioned above] makes it to have that of a pass. part. n.: (L:) Yoo says the like of ISk: (Msb:) he used to say that the مسكين is in a harder condition than the فقير: (S, L, * Msb: *) he says, I asked an Arab of the desert, Art thou فقير? and he answered, No, by God, but rather مسكين; (S, L, * Msb;) but 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh says that this man may have meant that he was low, or abject, by reason of his distance from his people and his home; and that he does not think he meant anything but that: (L:) [J also adds,] it is said in a trad. that the مسكين is not he whom a mouthful or two mouthfuls will turn back, or away, but is only he who does not beg, and who is not known so that he may be given [anything]; (S;) but Ziyádet-Allah Ibn-Ahmad says that the فقير is he who sits in his house, not begging, and the مسكين is he who begs and is given; and hence it is argued that the latter is in a better condition than the former; though it indicates that the former is more highminded than the latter: (L:) accord. to As, the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير; and this is [said to be] the right assertion, (Mgh, L, Msb,) for the pl. of the former is applied in the Kur xviii. 78 to men possessing a ship, or boat, which is worth a considerable sum; (L, Msb;) but they may have been thus termed because they were humbled and abased by the tyranny of the king who took every ship, or boat, that he found upon the sea, by force; (L;) and it is said that these men were hirers, not owners, of the vessel: (TA voce فَقِيرٌ, q. v.:) 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh says, that the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير is shown by a passage in the Kur [ix. 60], where it is said that the poor-rates are for the فُقَرَآء and the مَسَاكِين; for you will find the classes to be there mentioned in such an order that the second is better in condition than the first, and the third than the second, and in like manner the fourth and the fifth and the sixth and the seventh and the eighth: and he says that the same is shown by the fact that the Arabs sometimes used مسكين as a proper name, but not فقير: (L:) or when these two words are used together, they differ in signification; and when used separately, they [sometimes] signify the same: (El-Bedr El-Karáfee, TA in art. فقر:) [see more voce فَقِيرٌ:] a woman is termed مِسْكِينَةٌ (Sb, S, L, Msb, K) and مِسْكِينٌ also; (S, L, K;) the former by way of assimilation to فَقِيرَةٌ; (Sb, S, L;) the latter being accord. to rule, for an epithet of the measure مِفْعِيلٌ is regularly applied alike to a male and a female; (S, Msb;) or, as Abu-l-Hasan says, this is only when it is an intensive epithet, which مِسْكِينَةٌ is not: (L:) the pl. is مَسَاكِينُ and مِسْكِينُونَ, (S, L, K,) applied to men, (K,) or to a company of people, (S, L,) and مِسْكِينَاتٌ applied to female. (S, L, K.)

ى1 شَوَى اللَّحْمَ, (aor.

شَوِىَ, TA,) inf. n. شَىٌّ, (S, MA, Msb, K,) He roasted, broiled, or fried, the flesh-meat; (MA, KL, * PS;) and ↓ اشواهُ signifies the same; as also ↓ اشتواهُ; (Msb, TA;) or this last, (TA,) or اشتوى [alone], (S, MA,) signifies he prepared, or prepared for himself, (S, MA, * TA,) شِوَآء, (S, TA, *) or roasted, broiled, or fried, flesh-meat. (MA.) b2: And شَوَى المَآءَ, (IAar, K,) aor. as above, (TA,) He heated the water. (IAar, K.) b3: [And accord. to Freytag, شَوَى signifies also He cut off from (من) roasted flesh-meat: but for this he has named no authority.]

A2: See also 4.2 شَوَّىَ see 4. b2: Also شوّاهُ لَحْمًا He gave him flesh-meat [app. in an unrestricted sense]. (TA.) 3 يُشَاوِى, for يُشَائِى: see 3 in art. شأو.4 اشوى اللَّحْمَ: see 1. b2: أَشْوَاهُمْ; (S, Msb, K;) and ↓ شَوَّاهُمْ, inf. n. تَشْوِيَةٌ; (K;) He fed them with شِوَآء [i. e. roasted, or broiled, or fried, flesh-meat]. (S, Msb, K.) And (both verbs with their complements) He gave them flesh-meat that they might roast, or broil, or fry, thereof. (Az, K.) A2: And اشوى (tropical:) He left a portion remaining of his supper: (S, K, TA:) or he left some roasted, or broiled, or fried, flesh-meat of his supper. (A, TA.) b2: And اشوى القَمْحُ The wheat became fit to be rubbed with the hands and to be roasted. (ISd, K.) b3: And اشوى السَّعَفُ (assumed tropical:) The palmbranches became yellow on the occasion of their drying up; (K, TA;) as though a roasting affected them. (TA.) A3: Also He got, or acquired, the worse, or viler, sort of cattle. (K.) A4: اشواهُ said of a shooter or caster, He hit (S, * Msb, * K) his شَوَى, (K,) i. e. [one or more of his] extremities, (TA,) not a [vital] place where a wound would occasion death; (S, Msb, K;) and so ↓ شَوَاهُ, as in the Tekmileh: in the K, erroneously, شوّاهُ. (TA.) b2: [Hence, He missed it, i. e. the object of his aim. See مُشْوًى: and see also Ham p. 91.] b3: [Hence, also, app.,] Hr says that اشوى is allowable in the sense of أَسْقَطَ (assumed tropical:) [He dropped, left out, omitted, &c., anything]; like أَسْوَى [q. v.]. (TA in art. سوى.) A5: In the saying مَا أَعْيَاهُ وَأَشْيَاهُ (S, K, [in some copies of the K وَمَا أَشْيَاهُ,]) and so in ما اعياه وَأَشْوَاهُ, (S, * K, * TA,) the latter verb is an imitative sequent to the former [added only for the purpose of corroboration]. (S, K, TA.) 7 انشوى اللَّحْمُ The flesh-meat became roasted, broiled, or fried; (MA;) quasi-pass. of شَوَى

اللَّحْمَ; (S, * M, Msb, K;) as also * اشتوى; (M, K;) [or] the latter in this sense is not allowable. (S, Msb.) 8 إِشْتَوَىَ see 1. b2: [Hence,] اِشْتَوَيْتُهَا, referring to a she-camel, (assumed tropical:) I journeyed upon her until the heat of the middays of summer emaciated her and she became as though she were burnt. (Ham p. 783.) A2: See also 7.

شَاةٌ: see what next follows: and see more in art. شوه.

شِيَةٌ i. q. شَآءٌ [q. v. in art. شوه]; as also ↓ شَوِىٌّ; (IAar, K;) the latter is like غَنِىٌّ, [الشَّوٰى in the CK as syn. with الشّاءُ being a mistranscription,] and is said by IAth to be a quasi-pl. n., or [what lexicographers term] a pl., of ↓ شَاةٌ [n. un. of شَآءٌ]. (TA.) شِىٌّ is originally شِوْىٌ. (ISd, TA.) One says, جَآءَ بِالعِىِّ وَالشِّىِّ, (S, K,) using the latter noun as an imitative sequent to the former [for the purpose of corroboration: see art. عى]. (TA.) شَوًى is pl. of شَوَاةٌ: [or rather the former is a coll. gen. n. of which the latter is the n. un.:] the latter signifies The skin of the head: (S, TA:) so [accord. to some] in the Kur lxx. 16: (TA:) or the exterior of the skin of the head, in which grows the hair: (Aboo-Safwán, TA in art. بشر:) and some say, the exterior of all, or of any part, of the skin: (TA in the present art.:) and the former signifies the arms or hands and the legs or feet, or the fore and hind legs, (S, K,) and (K) the extremities (Msb, K) collectively, (K,) and the head of a human being, (S,) or the قِحْف of the head [i. e. the bone above the brain, or a separate portion of the skull, or a distinct bone of the skull], (K,) but of a horse the legs, not the head, because one says عَبْلُ الشَّوَى [i. e. thick in the legs], for this cannot relate to the head of the horse, (S,) and any part that is not a [vital] place [i. e.] where a wound causes death (S, Msb, K) such [for instance] as the legs. (Msb.) ثَالِبَةُ الشَّوَى means A woman having cracked, or chapped, feet. (S and K in art. ثلب.) b2: It is also a subst. [app. meaning a quasi-inf. n.] from

أَشْوَاهُ [q. v.] as said of a shooter or caster: (TA:) [and hence] the saying (S, TA) of the Hudhalee, (S, [accord. to the TA, Khálid Ibn-Zuheyr,]) فَإِنَّ مِنَ القَوْلِ الَّتِى لَا شَوَى لَهَا

إِذَا زَلَّ ظَهْرِ اللِّسَانِ انْفِلَاتُهُ means (assumed tropical:) [And, or for] verily of speech is that sentence (كَلِمَة, a word understood,) which does not hit a place where a wound will not occasion death, [i. e. which does not miss its object, when its escaping from the upper surface of the tongue is quick,] but which kills. (S, TA.) And شَوًى is used [app. in like manner, as a quasi-inf. n.,] in the case of anything that has missed an object of aim, though there be to it [really] no place where a wound would occasion death nor anything that is [properly] termed شَوًى [as meaning a place where a wound will not occasion death]. (TA.) And [hence] it signifies (assumed tropical:) A mistake; syn. خَطَأٌ. (TA.) b3: Also (tropical:) A thing, (S,) or an affair, (K,) that is paltry, mean, despicable, or of no account or weight or worth: (S, K, * TA:) in this sense, from the same word as signifying the “ extremities ” [of an animal]. (IAth, TA.) Hence, in a trad. of Mujáhid, كُلُّ مَا أَصَابَ الصَّائِمَ شَوًى

إِلَّا الغَيْبَةَ (tropical:) [Everything that befalls the faster is a matter of no account, except absence of mind]; i. e. nothing that befalls the faster annuls his fast except الغيبة, for this does annul it. (TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) The worse, or viler, sort of cattle, (S, K, TA,) of camels, and of sheep or goats; and the small, or young, thereof. (TA.) [See also شُوَايَةٌ.]

b5: And (assumed tropical:) A remainder, or remaining portion. (TA.) [See, again, شُوَايَةٌ.] b6: Also i. q. إِبْقَآءٌ (assumed tropical:) [The making, or causing, or suffering, to remain; or, perhaps, to continue in life, and if it mean thus, it may be from the same word in a sense expl. above, for the animal that one hits in a part that is not vital is suffered to continue in life]. (TA.) شُوَآءٌ: see what next follows.

شِوَآءٌ Roasted, broiled, or fried, flesh-meat; (S, * MA, Msb, K, * KL;) as also ↓ شُوَآءٌ; (Ks, Sgh, K;) but the former is more usual and more chaste: (TA:) a subst. from شَوَى اللَّحْمَ: and ↓ شِوَآءَةٌ [as its n. un.] signifies a piece thereof. (S.) شَوِىٌّ (K) and ↓ مَشْوِىٌّ (Msb) [Roasted, broiled, or fried], the latter originally مَشْوُوىٌ. (Msb.) [In the K the former is said to be like شِوَآءٌ; but it has the signification of the latter, i. e., of a pass. part. n.]

A2: See also شِيَةٌ.

A3: Ks says, (S,) in the phrase عَيِىٌّ شَيِىٌّ, and so in عَيِىٌّ شَوِىٌّ, (S, K,) some say (S) the latter word is an imitative sequent to the former [i. e. a corroborative: see art. عى]. (S, K.) شِوَآءَةٌ: see شِوَآءٌ.

شَوِيَّةٌ: see the next paragraph.

شَوَايَةٌ: see the next paragraph.

(S.) b3: Also, (S, K,) and ↓ شِوَايَةٌ and ↓ شَوَايَةٌ, (K,) A قُرْص [or round cake, or small round cake,] of bread. (S, K.) b4: And, all the three, A remaining portion of people, or of cattle, that have perished; as also ↓ شَوِيَّةٌ; (K;) or this last, a remaining portion of people that have perished: (S:) pl. (of the last, S) شَوَايَا. (S, K.) [See also شَوًى.] b5: And (tropical:) The bad, or vile, sort, (K, TA,) or worse, or viler, sort, (TA,) of camels, and of sheep, or goats: (K, TA:) in this sense written by ISd with kesr and with fet-h.

هدى
الهداية دلالة بلطف، ومنه: الهديّة، وهوادي الوحش. أي: متقدّماتها الهادية لغيرها، وخصّ ما كان دلالة بهديت، وما كان إعطاء بأهديت.
نحو: أهديت الهديّة، وهديت إلى البيت. إن قيل: كيف جعلت الهداية دلالة بلطف وقد قال الله تعالى: فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلى صِراطِ الْجَحِيمِ
[الصافات/ 23] ، وَيَهْدِيهِ إِلى عَذابِ السَّعِيرِ
[الحج/ 4] . قيل: ذلك استعمل فيه استعمال اللّفظ على التّهكّم مبالغة في المعنى كقوله: فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذابٍ أَلِيمٍ [آل عمران/ 21] وقول الشاعر:
تحيّة بينهم ضرب وجيع
وهداية الله تعالى للإنسان على أربعة أوجه:
الأوّل: الهداية التي عمّ بجنسها كلّ مكلّف من العقل، والفطنة، والمعارف الضّروريّة التي أعمّ منها كلّ شيء بقدر فيه حسب احتماله كما قال: رَبُّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدى
[طه/ 50] .
الثاني: الهداية التي جعل للناس بدعائه إيّاهم على ألسنة الأنبياء، وإنزال القرآن ونحو ذلك، وهو المقصود بقوله تعالى: وَجَعَلْنا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنا
[الأنبياء/ 73] .
الثالث: التّوفيق الذي يختصّ به من اهتدى، وهو المعنيّ بقوله تعالى: وَالَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا زادَهُمْ هُدىً [محمد/ 17] ، وقوله: وَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ [التغابن/ 11] ، وقوله: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ يَهْدِيهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِإِيمانِهِمْ [يونس/ 9] ، وقوله: وَالَّذِينَ جاهَدُوا فِينا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنا [العنكبوت/ 69] ، وَيَزِيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا هُدىً [مريم/ 76] ، فَهَدَى اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا [البقرة/ 213] ، وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشاءُ إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ [البقرة/ 213] .
الرّابع: الهداية في الآخرة إلى الجنّة المعنيّ بقوله: سَيَهْدِيهِمْ وَيُصْلِحُ بالَهُمْ [محمد/ 5] ، وَنَزَعْنا ما فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ غِلٍّ [الأعراف/ 43] إلى قوله: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا .
وهذه الهدايات الأربع مترتّبة، فإنّ من لم تحصل له الأولى لا تحصل له الثّانية بل لا يصحّ تكليفه، ومن لم تحصل له الثّانية لا تحصل له الثّالثة والرّابعة، ومن حصل له الرّابع فقد حصل له الثلاث التي قبلها، ومن حصل له الثالث فقد حصل له اللّذان قبله . ثمّ ينعكس، فقد تحصل الأولى ولا يحصل له الثاني ولا يحصل الثالث، والإنسان لا يقدر أن يهدي أحدا إلّا بالدّعاء وتعريف الطّرق دون سائر أنواع الهدايات، وإلى الأوّل أشار بقوله: وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ [الشورى/ 52] ، يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنا [السجدة/ 24] ، وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هادٍ [الرعد/ 7] أي: داع، وإلى سائر الهدايات أشار بقوله تعالى: إِنَّكَ لا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ [القصص/ 56] وكلّ هداية ذكر الله عزّ وجلّ أنه منع الظالمين والكافرين فهي الهداية الثالثة، وهي التّوفيق الذي يختصّ به المهتدون، والرّابعة التي هي الثّواب في الآخرة، وإدخال الجنّة. نحو قوله عزّ وجلّ: كَيْفَ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ قَوْماً إلى قوله: وَاللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ [آل عمران/ 86] وكقوله: ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكافِرِينَ [النحل/ 107] وكلّ هداية نفاها الله عن النبيّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم وعن البشر، وذكر أنهم غير قادرين عليها فهي ما عدا المختصّ من الدّعاء وتعريف الطريق، وذلك كإعطاء العقل، والتّوفيق، وإدخال الجنة، كقوله عزّ ذكره:
لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ هُداهُمْ وَلكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشاءُ [البقرة/ 272] ، وَلَوْ شاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى الْهُدى [الأنعام/ 35] ، وَما أَنْتَ بِهادِ الْعُمْيِ عَنْ ضَلالَتِهِمْ [النمل/ 81] ، إِنْ تَحْرِصْ عَلى هُداهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي مَنْ يُضِلُّ [النحل/ 37] ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِنْ هادٍ [الزمر/ 36] ، وَمَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِنْ مُضِلٍّ [الزمر/ 37] ، إِنَّكَ لا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشاءُ [القصص/ 56] وإلى هذا المعنى أشار بقوله تعالى: أَفَأَنْتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ [يونس/ 99] ، وقوله: مَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ
[الإسراء/ 97] ، أي: طالب الهدى ومتحرّيه هو الذي يوفّقه ويَهْدِيهِ إلى طريق الجنّة لا من ضادّه، فيتحرّى طريق الضّلال والكفر كقوله: وَاللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكافِرِينَ
[التوبة/ 37] ، وفي أخرى الظَّالِمِينَ [التوبة/ 109] ، وقوله: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ كاذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ [الزمر/ 3] الكاذب الكفّار: هو الذي لا يقبل هدايته، فإنّ ذلك راجع إلى هذا وإن لم يكن لفظه موضوعا لذلك، ومن لم يقبل هِدَايَتَهُ لم يهده، كقولك: من لم يقبل هَدِيَّتِي لم أهد له، ومن لم يقبل عطيّتي لم أعطه، ومن رغب عنّي لم أرغب فيه، وعلى هذا النحو:
وَاللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ [التوبة/ 109] وفي أخرى: الْفاسِقِينَ [التوبة/ 80] وقوله: أَفَمَنْ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّنْ لا يَهِدِّي إِلَّا أَنْ يُهْدى
[يونس/ 35] ، وقد قرئ: يَهِدِّي إِلَّا أَنْ يُهْدى أي: لا يهدي غيره ولكن يهدى. أي: لا يعلم شيئا ولا يعرف أي لا هداية له، ولو هدي أيضا لم يهتد، لأنها موات من حجارة ونحوها، وظاهر اللّفظ أنه إذا هدي اهْتَدَى لإخراج الكلام أنها أمثالكم كما قال تعالى: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ عِبادٌ أَمْثالُكُمْ [الأعراف/ 194] وإنّما هي أموات، وقال في موضع آخر:
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقاً مِنَ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ شَيْئاً وَلا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ [النحل/ 73] ، وقوله عزّ وجلّ: إِنَّا هَدَيْناهُ السَّبِيلَ [الإنسان/ 3] ، وَهَدَيْناهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ [البلد/ 10] ، وَهَدَيْناهُمَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ [الصافات/ 118] فذلك إشارة إلى ما عرّف من طريق الخير والشّرّ ، وطريق الثواب والعقاب بالعقل والشرع وكذا قوله: فَرِيقاً هَدى وَفَرِيقاً حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الضَّلالَةُ
[الأعراف/ 30] ، إِنَّكَ لا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشاءُ [القصص/ 56] ، وَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ [التغابن/ 11] فهو إشارة إلى التّوفيق الملقى في الرّوع فيما يتحرّاه الإنسان وإياه عنى بقوله عزّ وجلّ: وَالَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا زادَهُمْ هُدىً [محمد/ 17] وعدّي الهِدَايَةُ في مواضع بنفسه، وفي مواضع باللام، وفي مواضع بإلى، قال تعالى:
وَمَنْ يَعْتَصِمْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ هُدِيَ إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
[آل عمران/ 101] ، وَاجْتَبَيْناهُمْ وَهَدَيْناهُمْ إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ [الأنعام/ 87] وقال: أَفَمَنْ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُتَّبَعَ
[يونس/ 35] وقال: هَلْ لَكَ إِلى أَنْ تَزَكَّى وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشى [النازعات/ 18- 19] .
وما عدّي بنفسه نحو: وَلَهَدَيْناهُمْ صِراطاً مُسْتَقِيماً [النساء/ 68] ، وَهَدَيْناهُمَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ [الصافات/ 118] ، اهْدِنَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ [الفاتحة/ 6] ، أَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَهْدُوا مَنْ أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ [النساء/ 88] ، وَلا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ طَرِيقاً [النساء/ 168] ، أَفَأَنْتَ تَهْدِي الْعُمْيَ [يونس/ 43] ، وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَيْهِ صِراطاً مُسْتَقِيماً [النساء/ 175] .
ولمّا كانت الهِدَايَةُ والتّعليم يقتضي شيئين:
تعريفا من المعرّف، وتعرّفا من المعرّف، وبهما تمّ الهداية والتّعليم فإنه متى حصل البذل من الهَادِي والمعلم ولم يحصل القبول صحّ أن يقال: لم يَهْدِ ولم يعلّم اعتبارا بعدم القبول، وصحّ أن يقال: هَدَى وعلّم اعتبارا ببذله، فإذا كان كذلك صحّ أن يقال: إنّ الله تعالى لم يهد الكافرين والفاسقين من حيث إنه لم يحصل القبول الذي هو تمام الهداية والتّعليم، وصحّ أن يقال: هَدَاهُمْ وعلّمهم من حيث إنه حصل البذل الذي هو مبدأ الْهِدَايَةِ. فعلى الاعتبار بالأول يصحّ أن يحمل قوله تعالى: وَاللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ [التوبة/ 109] ، وَالْكافِرِينَ [التوبة/ 37] وعلى الثاني قوله عزّ وجلّ: وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْناهُمْ فَاسْتَحَبُّوا الْعَمى عَلَى الْهُدى
[فصلت/ 17] والأولى حيث لم يحصل القبول المفيد فيقال: هداه الله فلم يهتد، كقوله: وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ الآية، وقوله: لِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشاءُ إلى قوله: وَإِنْ كانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللَّهُ [البقرة/ 142- 143] فهم الّذين قبلوا هداه واهتدوا به، وقوله تعالى: اهْدِنَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ [الفاتحة/ 6] ، وَلَهَدَيْناهُمْ صِراطاً مُسْتَقِيماً [النساء/ 68] فقد قيل: عني به الهِدَايَةُ العامّة التي هي العقل، وسنّة الأنبياء، وأمرنا أن نقول ذلك بألسنتنا وإن كان قد فعل ليعطينا بذلك ثوابا كما أمرنا أن نقول: اللهمّ صلّ على محمد وإن كان قد صلّى عليه بقوله: إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ [الأحزاب/ 56] وقيل: إن ذلك دعاء بحفظنا عن استغواء الغواة واستهواء الشّهوات، وقيل: هو سؤال للتّوفيق الموعود به في قوله: وَالَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا زادَهُمْ هُدىً
[محمد/ 17] وقيل: سؤال للهداية إلى الجنّة في الآخرة، وقوله عزّ وجلّ: وَإِنْ كانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللَّهُ [البقرة/ 143] فإنه يعني به من هداه بالتّوفيق المذكور في قوله عزّ وجلّ: وَالَّذِينَ اهْتَدَوْا زادَهُمْ هُدىً.
والهُدَى والهِدَايَةُ في موضوع اللّغة واحد لكن قد خصّ الله عزّ وجلّ لفظة الهدى بما تولّاه وأعطاه، واختصّ هو به دون ما هو إلى الإنسان نحو: هُدىً لِلْمُتَّقِينَ [البقرة/ 2] ، أُولئِكَ عَلى هُدىً مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ [البقرة/ 5] ، هُدىً لِلنَّاسِ [البقرة/ 185] ، فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ مِنِّي هُدىً فَمَنْ تَبِعَ هُدايَ [البقرة/ 38] ، قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدى [الأنعام/ 71] ، وَهُدىً وَمَوْعِظَةٌ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ [آل عمران/ 138] ، وَلَوْ شاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى الْهُدى [الأنعام/ 35] ، إِنْ تَحْرِصْ عَلى هُداهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي مَنْ يُضِلُّ [النحل/ 37] ، أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلالَةَ بِالْهُدى [البقرة/ 16] .
والاهْتِدَاءُ يختصّ بما يتحرّاه الإنسان على طريق الاختيار، إمّا في الأمور الدّنيويّة، أو الأخرويّة قال تعالى: وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ النُّجُومَ لِتَهْتَدُوا بِها [الأنعام/ 97] ، وقال: إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجالِ وَالنِّساءِ وَالْوِلْدانِ لا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا
[النساء/ 98] ويقال ذلك لطلب الهداية نحو: وَإِذْ آتَيْنا مُوسَى الْكِتابَ وَالْفُرْقانَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
[البقرة/ 53] ، وقال: فَلا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَاخْشَوْنِي وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ [البقرة/ 150] ، فَإِنْ أَسْلَمُوا فَقَدِ اهْتَدَوْا [آل عمران/ 20] ، فَإِنْ آمَنُوا بِمِثْلِ ما آمَنْتُمْ بِهِ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَوْا [البقرة/ 137] .
ويقال المُهْتَدِي لمن يقتدي بعالم نحو:
أَوَلَوْ كانَ آباؤُهُمْ لا يَعْلَمُونَ شَيْئاً وَلا يَهْتَدُونَ [المائدة/ 104] تنبيها أنهم لا يعلمون بأنفسهم ولا يقتدون بعالم، وقوله: فَمَنِ اهْتَدى فَإِنَّما يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَقُلْ إِنَّما أَنَا مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِينَ [النمل/ 92] فإن الِاهْتِدَاءَ هاهنا يتناول وجوه الاهتداء من طلب الهداية، ومن الاقتداء، ومن تحرّيها، وكذا قوله: وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطانُ أَعْمالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لا يَهْتَدُونَ [النمل/ 24] وقوله: وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صالِحاً ثُمَّ اهْتَدى [طه/ 82] فمعناه: ثم أدام طلب الهداية، ولم يفترّ عن تحرّيه، ولم يرجع إلى المعصية. وقوله:
الَّذِينَ إِذا أَصابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ إلى قوله:
وَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ
[البقرة/ 157] أي:
الذين تحرّوا هدايته وقبلوها وعملوا بها، وقال مخبرا عنهم: وَقالُوا يا أَيُّهَا السَّاحِرُ ادْعُ لَنا رَبَّكَ بِما عَهِدَ عِنْدَكَ إِنَّنا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
[الزخرف/ 49] .
والهَدْيُ مختصّ بما يُهْدَى إلى البيت. قال الأخفش : والواحدة هَدْيَةٌ، قال: ويقال للأنثى هَدْيٌ كأنه مصدر وصف به، قال الله تعالى:
فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ [البقرة/ 196] ، هَدْياً بالِغَ الْكَعْبَةِ
[المائدة/ 95] ، وَلَا الْهَدْيَ وَلَا الْقَلائِدَ [المائدة/ 2] ، وَالْهَدْيَ مَعْكُوفاً [الفتح/ 25] .
والهَدِيَّةُ مختصّة باللُّطَف الذي يُهْدِي بعضنا إلى بعضٍ. قال تعالى: وَإِنِّي مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِمْ بِهَدِيَّةٍ [النمل/ 35] ، بَلْ أَنْتُمْ بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ [النمل/ 36] والمِهْدَى الطّبق الذي يهدى عليه، والْمِهْدَاءُ: من يكثر إِهْدَاءَ الهديّة، قال الشاعر:
وإنّك مهداء الخنا نطف الحشا
والْهَدِيُّ يقال في الهدي، وفي العروس يقال:
هَدَيْتُ العروسَ إلى زوجها، وما أحسن هَدِيَّةَ فلان وهَدْيَهُ، أي: طريقته، وفلان يُهَادِي بين اثنين: إذا مشى بينهما معتمدا عليهما، وتَهَادَتِ المرأة: إذا مشت مشي الهدي.
