اكل

1 أَكَلَهُ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. أَكْلٌ and مَأْكَلٌ, [He ate it,] (S, K,) namely, food. (S.) Er-Rummánee says that أَكْلٌ properly signifies The swallowing food after chewing it; so that the swallowing of pebbles is not properly thus termed: (Msb:) or, accord. to Ibn-El-Kemál, the conveying, or transmitting, to the belly what may be chewed, whether [the thing be] chewed or not; so that it does not apply to milk, nor to سَوِيق: and as to the saying of the poet, مِنَ الآكِلِينَ المَآءَ ظُلْمًا فَمَا أَرَى

يَنَالُونَ خَيْرًا بَعْدَ أَكْلِهِمُ المَآءَ (assumed tropical:) [Of the eaters of what they purchase with the price of water, wrongfully, I do not see any attain good after their eating of what they have purchased with the price of the water,] he means a people who used to sell water and purchase with the price thereof what they would eat: (TA:) [for you say, أَكَلَ كَذَا as meaning (assumed tropical:) He ate the price of such a thing: see another ex. voce إِكَافٌ; and another voce ثَدْىٌ.] b2: The saying, in the Kur [v. 70], لَأَكَلُوا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ

أَرْجُلِهِمْ [They should eat things above them and things beneath their feet] means, their means of subsistence should be made ample; (Bd, TA;) by the pouring of the blessings of the heaven and the earth upon them; or by the abundance of the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the grains sown; or by their being blessed with gardens of ripe fruits, so that they should gather them from the upper part of each tree, and pick up what should have fallen upon the ground. (Bd.) b3: اِنْقَطَعَ أَكْلُهُ [lit. His eating became cut off, or stopped,] means (tropical:) he died; [see also أُكُلٌ;] and so اِسْتَوْفَى أَكْلَهُ [lit. he completed his eating]. (TA.) b4: أَكَلَ رَؤْقَهُ [lit. He ate his life,] means (tropical:) he became extremely aged, and his teeth fell out, one after another. (TA.) b5: هُوَ يَأْكُلُ النَّاسَ, and يَأْكُلُ لُحُومَ النَّاسِ [He eats men, and eats the flesh of men,] means (tropical:) he defames men; or does so in their absence: (TA:) and the action thus signified may be [with words, or by making signs] with the side of the mouth, and with the eye, and with the head. (TA in art. همز.) It is said in the Kur [xlix. 12], أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْكلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا [lit. Would any one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead?]; defamation, or defamation of the absent, being meant thereby. (S, * Ibn-' Arafeh, Bd, Jel.) b6: أَكَلَ غَنَمِى وَ شَرِبَهَا (tropical:) [He ate the flesh of my sheep, and drank the milk of them, means, like أَكَلَ مَالِى, he ate, fed upon, devoured, or consumed, my wealth, or property: see 2]. (TA.) b7: أَكَلَتِ النَّارُ الحَطَبَ (tropical:) The fire devoured, or consumed, the firewood. (S, Mgh.) b8: أَكَلَتْ أَظْفَارَهُ الحِجَارَةُ (tropical:) [The stones wore away his nails].

(TA.) b10: أَكَلَ عُمُرَهُ (tropical:) He consumed his life. (Mgh.) b11: It is said in a trad., (TA,) أُمِرْتُ بِقَرْيَةٍ تَأْكُلُ القُرَى (tropical:) [I have been commanded to have given unto me a town which shall devour the other towns]; (K, TA;) said to be Yethrib [afterwards called El-Medeeneh]; (TA;) i. e., the people of which shall conquer the [other] towns and make spoil of their possessions: or it denotes the superior excellence of that town; and is like the saying, هٰذَا حَدِيثٌ يَأْكُلُ الأَحَادِيثَ [This is a tradition which does away with, or overrules, the other traditions]. (Sgh. K, TA.) b12: أَكْلُ السِّكِّينِ اللَّحْمَ means (tropical:) The knife's cutting the flesh. (TA.) b13: أَكَلَنِي رَأْسِى, inf. n. إِكْلَةٌ and أُكَالٌ and أَكَالٌ, (tropical:) My head itched.

Thou hast made me to eat what I have not eaten,] meaning (tropical:) thou hast charged against me, or accused me of doing, what I have not done; as also ↓ آكَلْتَنِى. (S, TA.) So too, أَشْرَبْتَنِى مَا لَمْ أَشْرَبٌ.

[See also أَكِلَةٌ, voce إِكْلَةٌ, where a similar meaning is assigned to the former of these two words; and the same seems to be indicated in the Msb.] b2: See also another signification voce إِكْلَةٌ. b3: بَهَا أُكَالٌ, said of a she-camel, (tropical:) She has an itching and annoyance in her belly, (S, K,) from the growth of the hair, (S,) or of the fur, (K,) of her fœtus.

أَكِيلَةٌ and ↓ أَكِيلٌ and ↓ أُكُولَةٌ, with two dammehs, (K,) so in the copies of the K, but perhaps a mistake for ↓ أُكْلَةٌ, (TA,) a word of a bad dial., (K, * TA,) and ↓ مَأْكُولٌ and ↓ مُؤَاكِلٌ, (K, TA, [in some copies of the former of which, instead of وَهِىَ قَبِيحَةٌ وَ المَأْكُولِ وَ المَؤَاكِلِ, meaning, as is said in the TA, وَهِىَ لُغَةٌ قَبِيحَةٌ &c., we find وَهِىَ قَبِيحَةٌ المَأْكُولِ وَ المَؤَاكِلِ,]) A sheep, or goat, which is set (K, TA) in the lurking-place of a hunter (TA) for the purpose of catching thereby the wolf and the like.

مُؤْكَلٌ (assumed tropical:) Fortunate; possessed of good fortune; prosperous. (Aboo-Sa'eed, K.) مُؤْكِلُ الرِّبَا (tropical:) [The giver of usury: see آكِلٌ, last sentence].

أقول: خواص الأشياء ثابتة وأسبابها خفية لأننا نعلم أن المغناطيس يجذب الحديد ولا نعرف وجهه وسببه وكذلك في جميع الخواص إلا أن علل بعضها معقولة وبعضها غير معقولة المعنى.
ثم إن تلك الخواص تنقسم إلى أقسام كثيرة منها خواص الأسماء المذكورة الداخلة تحت قواعد علم الحروف وكذلك خواص الحروف المركبة عنها الأسماء وخواص الأدعية المستعملة في العزائم وخواص القرآن.
قال أبو الخير: غاية ما يذكر في ذلك تجارب الصالحين وورد في ذلك بعض من الأحاديث أوردها السيوطي في الإتقان وقال:
بعضها موقوفات على الصحابة والتابعين وما لم يرد أثره فقد ذكر الناس من ذلك كثيرا والله - سبحانه وتعالى - أعلم بصحته.
ويقال: أن الرقي بالمعوذات وغيرها من أسماء الله هو الطب الروحاني إذا كان على لسان الأبرار من الخلق حصل الشفا بإذن الله سبحانه وتعالى. فلما عز هذا النوع فزع الناس إلى الطب الجسماني ويشير إلى هذا قوله1 عليه الصلاة والسلام: "لو أن رجلا موقنا قرأ بها على جبل لزال". وأجاز القرطبي الرقية بأسماء الله وكلامه - سبحانه وتعالى - قال: فإن كان مأثورا استحب.
قال الربيع: سألت الشافعي عن الرقية فقال: لا بأس أن يرقى بكتاب الله تعالى وبما يعرف من ذكر الله.
قال الحسن البصري ومجاهد والأوزاعي: لا بأس بكتب القرآن في إناء ثم غسله وسقيه المريض وكرهه النخعي.
ومنها: خواص العدد والوفق والتكسير.
ومنها: خواص الأعداد المتحابة والمتباغضة.
قال في مدينة العلوم: أن كنكة الملك من حكماء الهند استنبط الأعداد المتحابة وذكر أنها إذا وضعت في طعام أو شراب أو غير ذلك مما يستعمله شخصان تآلف بينهما محبة عجيبة
وإن رسمتها على ثوبك لم يفارقك والعدد الأصغر منها كزد والعدد الأكبر منها فرد ترسمها برسم قلم الغبار وتعطي الأصغر من شئت وتأكل أنت الأكبر فإن الأصغر يطيع الأكبر بخاصية ظريفة ويستعمل في الزبيب وحب الرمان وأشباههما عدد الأسماء.
ثم إن أفلاطون الآلهي بين خواص الأعداد المتحابة والمتباغضة وذكر أنه لو كتب أعداد المتحابة في كوز لم يمسه الماء وشرب منه شخصين فإنه يتولد بينهما محبة أكيدة لم يعهد ذلك قبل وأنه لو فعل في الأعداد المتباغضة مثل ذلك فإنه يظهر بينهما عداوة راسخة بإذن الله انتهى.
وبينه في تذكرة الأحباب في بيان التحاب مستوفى ببراهين عددية وخواص البروج والكواكب وخواص المعدنيات وخواص النباتات وخواص الحيوانات وخواص الأقاليم والبلدان وخواص البر والبحر وغير ذلك.
وصنف في هذه الخواص جماعة منهم: أحمد البوني والغزالي والتميمي والجلنكي في كنز الاختصاص وهو كتاب مفيد في تلك المقاصد وغيرهم وخواص الأسرار في بواهر الأنوار وخواص الأسماء الحسنى للشيخ أبي العباس أحمد البوني مختصر وللشيخ جمال الدين قال في مدينة العلوم: علم الخواص علم يحصل بسبب ترتيب ما له الخواص من المعادن والإبحار وغير ذلك آثار عجيبة وأمور غريبة يتحير فيها الناظرون.
ومنها أن بعضا من الأوائل بنى دارا وجعل في جدرانها الأربعة والسقف والأرض ومن أحجار المغناطيس متساوية المقدار وجعل في وسطها صليبا إلى نفسه فوقف ذلك الحديد بالضرورة في الهواء في وسط البيت وافتتن بذلك جمع من النصارى.
ومنها: أن في النبات نبتا إذا طلى به الإنسان بدنه لم تحرقه النار وأمثال ذلك كثيرة مذكورة في كتب الخواص.
واعلم أن الخواص قد تترتب على أسماء الله تعالى وعلى الآيات التنزيلية وآيات التوراة والإنجيل لكن تلك الخواص ليست من فروع علم السحر بل هي من فروع علم القرآن انتهى1.

1 رَبَطَ, (S, Mgh, &c.,) aor. ـِ and رَبُطَ, (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. رَبْطٌ, (Msb, TA,) He tied, bound, or made fast, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) a thing, (S, Msb, * K, * TA,) and a beast; (Mgh, TA;) and in like manner ↓ ارتبط he tied, or bound, a beast with a rope, in order that he might not run away. (TA.) You say, كَذَا رَأْسًا مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ ↓ فُلَانٌ يَرْتَبِطُ [Such a one ties so many head of beasts: or the verb may here have a different signification, explained below]. (S, TA.) And it is said in a prov., اِسْتَكْرَمْتَ فَارْبِطْ, or, accord. to one relation, أَكْرَمْتَ, i. e. Thou hast found a generous horse, therefore do thou preserve him; or, as some relate it, ↓ فَارْتَبِطْ: relating to the duty of preservation. (TA.) See also 3. b2: رَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He held back, or drew back, from him, or it; as though he confined, and bound, himself. (TA, from a trad.) b3: رَبَطَ جَأْشُهُ, inf. n. رِبَاطَةٌ, (assumed tropical:) His heart became strong, and firm, and resolute, (K, * TA,) so that he did not flee on the occasion of fear. (TA.

Thus in the Kur [xviii. 13], وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ (tropical:) And we inspired them with patience: (TA:) or strengthened them with patience. (Bd.) and in like manner in [viii. 11 and] xxviii. 9.

(S, TA.) [You say, رَابَطَ الفَرِيقَانِ The two parties tied their horses at their respective frontiers, each in preparation for the other.] And one says, with reference to horses, ↓ رَبَطَ, inf. n. رَبْطٌ and رِبَاطٌ, as well as رابط, inf. n. مُرَابَطَةٌ and رِبَاطٌ. (Bd in viii. 62.)

And hence, i. e. from this latter application, (AAF, TA,) رابط الأَمْرَ, (TK,) inf. n. رِبَاطٌ (AAF, K) and مُرَابَطَةٌ, (TK,) (assumed tropical:) He kept, or applied himself, constantly, perseveringly, or assiduously, to the thing, or affair. (AAF, K, TK.) It is said in the Kur [ch. iii., last verse], اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا Be ye patient in endurance of what your religion requires, and vie ye in patience with your enemy, and persevere ye in fighting against your enemy, (Mgh, TA,) and in tying the horses [at the frontier]: (TA:) or the last of these verbs means keep ye post, or remain ye, on, or at, the frontier [of the enemy]: (Az, K:) or (assumed tropical:) be ye mindful of the times of prayer: or (assumed tropical:) apply yourselves constantly, perseveringly, or assiduously, to prayer: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) wait ye for prayer after prayer; the doing this being termed by the Prophet رِبَاطٌ; (Az, K, TA;) which word, thus used, is an inf. n. of رَابَطْتُ; or, as some say, a simple subst., meaning, in this case, a thing whereby one is tied from acts of disobedience, and restrained from forbidden deeds.

رِبَاطٌ A thing with which one ties, binds, or makes fast, (S, Msb, K,) a skin, (S, Msb,) and a beast, (S,) &c.; (S, Msb;) a rope with which a beast is tied: (Mgh:) pl. رُبُطٌ (S, Msb, K) and رُبْطٌ; (S, TA;) the latter a contraction of the former: (TA:) and ↓ مِرْبَطٌ and ↓ مِرْبَطَةٌ also signify a thing with which a beast is tied. (K.) It is said in a prov., إِنْ ذَهَبَ عَيْرٌ فَعَيْرٌ فِى الرِّبَاطِ [If an ass is gone away, an ass is tied to the cord]: relating to contentment with what is present and relinquishment of what is absent.

(TA.) الخَيْلِ ↓ مِنْ رِبَاطِ, in the Kur [viii. 62], means Of horses that are tied; (Bd, Mgh;) رِبَاطٌ being of the measure فِعَالٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعولٌ; or an inf. n. used as a subst., being an inf. n. of رَبَطَ in the sense of رَابَطَ; (Bd;) or it is an inf. n. of رَابَطَ; and therefore [when used as an epithet, like any inf. n. so used,] is applied to one as well as to a pl. number; (Ham p. 222;) or pl. of رَبِيطْ: (Bd, Mgh:) or it means of mares: (Fr, TA:) and رِبَاطٌ signifies horses; five thereof, and upwards: (S, K:) or horses, themselves, that are taken to be tied, or for keeping post, on the enemy's frontier.

(TA.) رَبَّاطٌ One who ties bow-strings. (TA.) رَابِطٌ [act. part. n. of 1]. b2: خَلَّفَ فُلَانٌ بِالثَّغْرِ جَيْشًا رَابِطَةً [Such a one left behind him on the frontier an army having their horses tied in preparation for the enemy; or keeping post].
