inf. n. تَأْهِيلٌ, (

10 استأهلهُ as signifying He was, or became, worthy, or deserving, of it, or he merited it, or he had a right, or just title or claim, to it, is not allowable: (
Msb, *
MF:) not only does
J disallow it, but the generality of those before him do so; saying that it is not chaste: in the
Fs it is said to be of weak authority; and the expositors thereof confirm this assertion, saying that it occurs, but is inferior to other words in chasteness; and El-Hareeree asserts it to be erroneous: (
MF:) or it is good in this sense; and
J's disallowance of it is of no account: (
K:)
Az and
Z and
Sgh and others assert it to be good: and
Az says, in the
T, some have asserted the saying فُلَانٌ يَسْتَأْهِلُ أَنْ يُكْرَمَ أَوْ يُهَانَ, as meaning [Such a one] is worthy, or deserving, [of being treated with honour, or of being held in light estimation,] to be erroneous; and الاِسْتِئْهَالُ to be only from الإِهَالَةُ; but I do not disallow it, nor charge with error him who says thus; for I have heard the verb thus used by a chaste Arab of the desert, of the BenooAsad, and there was present a number of Arabs of the desert who did not disapprove his saying: and this is confirmed by the saying in the
Kur [lxxiv. 55], هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَي وَ أَهْلُ المَغْفِرَةِ [explained below: see أَهْلُ]. (
T.)
A2: استأهل, (

Er-Rághib:) afterwards applied to a man's fellow-members of one family or race, and of one religion, and of one craft or art or the like: (
Er-Rághib,
Kull:) or, as some say, relations, whether they have followers or dependents, or not; whereas آلٌ signifies relations with their followers or dependents: (
Kull:) or it originally signifies relations: and sometimes is applied to followers or dependents: and signifies also the أَهْل [i. e. people, or inhabitants, or family,] of a house or tent: (
Msb:) or a man's nearer, or nearest, relations by descent from the same father or ancestor; or his kinsfolk; his relations: (
K:) or,
accord. to [the Imám] Mohammad, a man's wife [or wives] and his children and household who are the objects of his expenditure; and thus, any brother and sister, or paternal uncle and son of a paternal uncle, or strange or distantly-related child, whom a man feeds or sustains in his abode: the most particular, or most special, dependents, or the like, of a man: on the authority of El-Ghooree: (
Mgh:) [
J indicates some of these meanings merely by saying that it signifies] the أَهْل of a man, and the أَهْل of a house; as also ↓ أَهْلَةٌ: (
S:) [see also آلٌ; in the explanations of which, certain distinctions between it and أَهْلٌ will be found mentioned:] the
pl. is أَهْلُونَ, [like أَرْضُونَ, a form sometimes used for أَرَضُونَ] (
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) and أَهَالٍ, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) with an additional ى [implied by the tenween, and expressed in the
accus. case, and when the word is determinate, as in الأَهَالِى,] (
S,)
contr. to rule, (
S,
Mgh,) like لَيَالٍ,
pl. of لَيْلٌ, (
S,) [and like أَرَاض, respecting which and ليَالٍ and أَهَالٍ, see أَرْضٌ,] and آهَالٌ, (
S,
K,) a
pl. [of pauc.] sometimes occurring in poetry, (

S,
K.)
b2: أَهْلُ البَيْتِ The [people or] inhabitants [or family] of the house or tent. (
Mgh,
K.) But أَوْصَى لأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ means the same as اوصى لِجِنْسِهِ, i. e. He left by will, of his property, to the children of his father, [or his kindred by the father's side,] exclusively of all relations of the mother. (

ex. of
اهــل as explained above in the first sentence on the authority of the
K: الأَهْلُ إِلَى الأَهْلِ أَسْرَعُ مِنَ السِّيلِ إِلَى السَّهْلِ a
prov. [meaning Kinsfolk are quicker of tendency to kinsfolk than the torrent to the plain]. (
TA.) So, too, a saying of a poet cited
voce خَفْضٌ. (
TA.) [And] أَهْلَكَ وَاللَّيْلَ a
prov. meaning بَادِر أَهْلَكَ وَاحْذَرِ اللَّيْلَ وَ ظُلْمَتَهُ [Betake thyself early to thy family, and beware of the night and its darkness]. (

'Alee: or his women; and (as some say,
TA) the men who are his آل; (
K,
TA;) comprising the grandchildren (أَحْفَاد) and [other] progeny: and so أَهْلُ البَيْتِ as used in the
Kur xxxiii. 33, occurring also [in a like sense] in xi. 76: (

K,
TA,) and the assistants, (
TA,) of God and of his apostle, the first word is originally أَهْل. (
K,

b12: أَهْلُ اللّٰهِ is also an appellation which used to be applied to The readers or reciters [of the

TA.)
b13: أَهْلُ الرَّجُلِ also signifies (

TA;) [so, too, in the present day, أَهْلُ بَيْتِ الرَّجُلِ;] and so, too, ↓ أَهْلَتُهُ. (
K.) Hence the phrase بَنَى عَلَي
أَهْلِهِ [see art. بنىِ]: (
Kull:) and دَخَلَ بِأَهْلِهِ and دَخَلَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ [see art. دخل]. (

K,) and persons, for it is used as a
sing. and as a
pl., (
K,) having a right, or just title, to such a thing; entitled thereto; worthy, or deserving, thereof; meet, or fit, for it: (
S,
K:) the vulgar say ↓ مُسْتَأْهِلٌ, which is not allowable: (
S:) or this assertion of
J's is of no account. (
K: see 10.) You say, هُو أَهْلٌ لِإِكْرَامِ He is entitled to be, or worthy of being, treated with honour. (
Msb.) And لِكُّلِ ↓ هُوَ أَهْلَةٌ خَيْر [He is entitled to, or worthy of, all that is good]. (Ibn- 'Abbád.) And وُدٍّ ↓ أَهلَةٌ He who is, or they who are, entitled to, or worthy of, love, or affection. (

أَهْلَةٌ: see أَهْلٌ, in four places:
A2: and see أَهلَةٌ.
أَهِلَةٌ
