علم الصرف
وهو: علم يعرف منه أنواع المفردات الموضوعة بالوضع النوعي ومدلولاتها والهيئات الأصلية العامة للمفردات والهيئات التغيرية وكيفية تغيراتها عن هيئاتها الأصلية على الوجه الكلي بالمقايس الكلية كذا في الموضوعات.
وموضوعه: الصيغ المخصوصة من الحيثية المذكورة.
وغرضه: ملكة يعرف بها ما ذكر من الأحوال.
وغايته: الاحتراز عن الخطأ من تلك الجهات.
ومباديه: مقدمات مستنبطة من تتبع استعمال العرب. وفي كشاف اصطلاحات الفنون علم الصرف ويسمى بعلم التصريف أيضا وهو: علم بأصول تعرف بها أحوال أبنية الكلم التي ليست بإعراب ولا بناء هكذا قال ابن الحاجب والمراد من بناء الكلمة وكذا من صيغتها ووزنها هيئتها التي يمكن أن يشاركها فيها غيرها وهي عدد حروفها المرتبة وحركاتها المعينة وسكونها مع اعتبار حروفها الزائدة والأصلية كل في موضعه.
وموضوعه: هو الكلمة من حيث أن لها بناء ولا محذور في البحث عن قيد الحيثية إذا كانت بيانا للموضوع فلا محذور في البحث عن الأبنية في هذا العلم ويؤيد هذا ما ذكروه في تقسيم العلوم العربية من أن الصرف يبحث فيه عن المفردات من حيث صورها وهيئاتها وكذا ما ذكر المحقق عبد الحكيم في حاشية شرح الجامي من أن التصريف والمعاني والبيان والبديع والنحو بل جميع العلوم الأدبية تشترك في أن موضوعها الكلمة والكلام إنما الفرق بينها بالحيثيات انتهى.
وفي شرح الشافية للجار بردي أن موضوعه الأبنية من حيث تعرض الأحوال لها والأبنية عبارة عن الحروف والحركات والسكنات الواقعة في الكلمة فيبحث عن الحروف من حيث أنها ثلاثة أو أربعة أو خمسة ومن حيث أنها زائدة أو أصلية وكيف يعرف الزائد عن الأصلي وعن الحركات والسكنات من أنها خفيفة أو ثقيلة.
فيخرج عن هذا العلم معرفة الأبنية ويدخل فيه معرفة أحوالها لأن الصرف علم بقواعد تعرف بها أحوال الأبنية أي الماضي والمضارع والأمر الحاضر إلى غير ذلك فإن جميع ذلك أحوال راجعة إلى أحوال الأبنية لا إلى نفس الأبنية انتهى.
فعلى هذا إضافة أحوال الأبنية ليست بيانية ويرد عليه أن الماضي ونحوه ليس بناء ولا حال بناء بل هو شيء ذو بناء وأضعف منه ما وقع في بعض كتب الصرف من أن موضوعه الأصول والقواعد.
ومباديه: حدود ما تتبنى عليه مسائله كحد الكلمة والاسم والفعل والحرف ومقدمات حججها أي أجزاء على المسائل كقولهم: إنما يوقع الإعلال في الكلمة لإزالة الثقل منها
ومسائله الأحكام المتعلقة بالموضوع كقولهم: الكلمة إما مجردة أو مزيدة أو جزئه كقولهم: ابتداء الكلمة لا يكون ساكنا أو جزئية كقولهم: الاسم إما ثلاثي أو رباعي أو خماسي أو عرضه كقولهم الإعلال إما بالقلب أو الحذف أو الإسكان.
وغايته: غاية الجدوى حيث يحتاج إليه جميع العلوم العربية والشرعية كعلم التفسير والحديث والفقه والكلام ولذا قيل أن الصرف أم العلوم والنحو أبوها.
قال الرضي: إن التصريف جزء من أجزاء النحو بلا خلاف من أهل الصيغة والتصريف على ما حكى سيبويه عنهم هو أن تبني من الكلمة بناء لم تبنه العرب على وزن ما بنته ثم تعمل في البناء الذي بنيته ما يقتضيه قياس كلامهم كما يتبين في مسائل التمرين والمتأخرون على أن التصريف علم بأبنية الكلمة وبما يكون لحروفها من أصالة وزيادة وحذف وصحة وإعلال وإدغام وإمالة وبما يعرض لآخرها مما ليس بإعراب ولا بناء من الوقف وغير ذلك انتهى.
فالصرف والتصريف عند المتأخرين مترادفان والتصريف على ما حكى سيبويه عنهم جزء من الصرف الذي هو جزء من أجزاء النحو انتهى ما في الكشاف وقد أطال الكلام على قيود حد الصرف تركنا ذكره ههنا لقلة فائدته في هذا الكتاب.
قال في مدينة العلوم: إن أول من دون علم الصرف أبو عثمان المازني البصري ومن شعره:
شيئان يعجز ذو الرياضة عنهما ... رأي النساء وإمرة الصبيان
أما النساء فإنهن عواهر ... وأخو الصبا يجري بغير عنان
وصنف في التصريف أبو الفتح بن جني مختصرا سماه التصريف الملوكي وصنف ابن مالك في ضروري التصريف مختصرا وشرحه ووسمه بالتعريف من المتوسطات في هذا العلم كتاب ابن الحاجب المسمى بالشافية وأمثلها الممتع1 لابن عصفور علي بن مؤمن الإشبيلي وشرح الشافية لأحمد بن حسن الجاربردي ولرضي الدين الأسترآبادي ولحسن بن محمد النيسابوري المشهور بالنظام الأعرج وشرحه ممزوج مشهور متداول ومما اشتهر في ديارنا مختصر مسمى بالمقصد وهو كتاب مبارك مشهور بأيدي الناس اليوم وعليه شروح مفيدة مشهورة عند أبناء الزمان ومختصر لعز الدين عبد الوهاب بن إبراهيم الزنجاني وله التصريف المشهور بتصريف العزي وعلى مختصره شروح أفضلها وأحسنها شرح السعد التفتازاني والسيد الشريف الجرجاني.
ومن المختصرات: مراح الأرواح لأحمد بن علي بن مسعود وعليه شروح مفيدة يعرفها المتأدبون من الصبيان.
وأكثر المصنفات في علم النحو مذيلة بعلم التصريف ومختصر النجاح مفيد في الغاية لكنه غير مشهور وهو لحسام الدين الصغنافي شارح الهداية ومختصر نزهة الطرف في علم الصرف للميداني انتهى ملخصا.
وتركت ما ذكر من تراجم علماء الصرف تحت كل كتاب مذكور فإنه ليس من غرضنا في هذا الموضع.
قال في كشف الظنون ومن الكتب المصنفة في الصرف أساس الصرف تصريف الأفعال جامع الصرف عنقود للزواهر قصارى لامية الأفعال مقصود مضبوط مطلوب منازل الأبنية نجاح هارون انتهى.
قلت: ومنها نقود الصرف للشيخ المفتي ولي الله الفرخ آبادي وفصول أكبري وشفاء الشافية للشيخ المولوي عبد الباسط القنوجي وبنج كنج وصرف مير للسيد الشريف الجرجاني رحمه الله.
ورسائل أخرى وهي كثيرة جدا متداولة بين الصبيان ومؤدبيهم وهي بالفارسية والعربية.

And قَدَّ القَلَمَ وَقَطَّهُ [He slit the writing-reed, and nibbed it, or cut off its point breadthwise, or crosswise]: (A, TA:) [for] قَطَّهُ is opposed to قَدَّهُ: (S and TA in art. قط:) and both of these verbs occur in a trad. describing 'Alee's different modes of cutting [with the sword] when contracting himself and when stretching himself up. (TA.) b2: And [hence] قَدَّ, (S, M, A, L,) inf. n. قَدٌّ, (M, L, K,) (tropical:) He clave, cut through by journeying, or passed through, the desert, (S, M, A, O, L, K,) and the night.

Hence] قُدَّ فُلَانٌ قَدَّ السَّيْفِ [Such a one was shaped with the shaping of the sword] means (tropical:) such a one was made goodly, or beautiful, in respect of التَّقْطِيع [i. e. conformation, or proportion, &c., like as is the sword]. (S, O, L, TA.) [See also قَدٌّ, below.] b6: And قُدّ means also (assumed tropical:) He suffered a pain [app. what may be termed a cutting pain] in the belly, called قُدَاد.

(L.) A2: قدّد عَلَيهِ, said of a garment, It fitted him, or suited him, in size and length. (L, from a trad.) 4 اقدّ عَلَيْهِ, said of food, (assumed tropical:) It occasioned him a pain in the belly, termed قُدَاد. (IKtt, TA.) 5 تَقَدَّّ see 7. b2: تقدّد said of a garment, or piece of cloth, It was, or became, much slit or rent. or ragged, or tattered, (O, K, TA,) and old and worn out. (TA.) b3: And, said of flesh-meat, quasi-pass. of 2, [i. e. It was, or became, cut into strips, or oblong pieces, and spread in the sun, or salted and spread in the sun, and so dried.]. (O.) b4: And, said of a company of men (قَوْمٌ), It became separated (S, M, O, L, K) into قِدَد [or parties, &c., pl. of قِدَّةٌ, q. v.].

(K, TA.) b6: And تقدّدت said of a she-camel, She became somewhat lean (O, K) after having been fat: (O:) or she became fat, (TA,) or began to become fat, after having been lean. (K, TA.) 7 انقدّ, (S, M, A, O, L, Msb, K,) and ↓ تقدّد, (M, L, K,) [but the latter app. has an intensive signification, or is said of a number of things,] the former said of a skin, and of a garment, or piece of cloth, (A,) not said of aught except some such thing as a bag for travelling-provisions and for goods or utensils &c., and such as clothing, (O,) It became cut in an elongated form; or lengthwise: (L, K:) or became slit, split, cloven, rent, or divided, lengthwise: (S, M, A, O, L, Msb, K:) or became cut off entirely: (M, L, K:) or became cut, or cut off.

And (assumed tropical:) It (an affair, TA) was, or became, uniform, or even in its tenour. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K, TA.) And استقدّت الإِبِلُ (assumed tropical:) The camels went on undeviatingly, in one course, way, or manner: (O, K:) so says AA. (O.) قَدْ is a noun and a particle: (S, O, Mughnee, K:) and as a noun it is used in two ways. (Mughnee, K.) b2: (I) It is a noun syn. with حَسْبُ; (S, O, Mughnee, K;) generally used indeclinably; (Mughnee, K;) thus accord. to the Basrees; with the د quiescent; (TA;) because resembling قَدْ the particle in respect of the letters composing it, and many other particles in respect of its form, (Mughnee, TA,) such as عَنْ and بَلْ &c.: (TA:) one says, قَدْ زَيْدٍ دِرْهَمٌ [The sufficiency of Zeyd (i. e. what is sufficient for Zeyd) is a dirhem], (Mughnee, K,) with the د quiescent; (Mughnee, * K, * TA;) and قَدِى (S, O) and قَدْنِى (S, O, Mughnee) [both] meaning حَسْبِى [My sufficiency (i. e. what is sufficient for me)]; (S, O;) the ن in قَدْنِى being inserted in order to preserve the quiescence [of the final letter of the noun] because this is the original characteristic of what they make indeclinable; (Mughnee;) but the insertion of the ن in this case is anomalous, for it is [by rule] only added in verbs, by way of precaution, [to prevent the confusion of the pronominal affix of the verb and that of the noun,] as in ضَرَبَنِى: (S, O:) [see, however, in the next sentence, an explanation of قَدْنِى accord. to which the ن is inserted regularly:] accord. to Yaakoob, using قَدْ in the sense of حَسْبُ, one says, مَا لَكَ عِنْدِى إِلَّا هٰذَا فَقَدْ i. e. فَقَطْ [There is nothing for thee with me, or nothing due to thee in my possession, except this, and it is a thing sufficient, or it is enough, فَقَطْ being held to signify properly فَحَسْبُ, but it is commonly used as meaning and no more]; and he asserts it [i. e. قَدْ] to be a substitute [for قَطْ]: (M:) and it is also used declinably; (Mughnee, K;) thus accord. to the Koofees; (TA;) but this is rare: (Mughnee:) one says قَدُ زَيْدٍ, making it marfooa, (Mughnee, K,) like as one says حَسْبُهُ; and قَدِى without ن [as mentioned above,] like as one says حَسْبِى. (Mughnee.) b3: (2) It is also a verbal noun, syn. with يَكْفِى: one says, قَدْ زَيْدًا دِرْهَمٌ [A dirhem suffices, or will suffice, Zeyd], and قَدْنِى دِرْهَمٌ [A dirhem suffices, or will suffice, me]; (Mughnee, K;) like as one says يَكْفِى زَيْدًا دِرْهَمٌ, and يَكْفِيْنِى دِرْهَمٌ. (Mughnee, K. *) A2: As a particle, it is used peculiarly with a verb, (Mughnee, K,) [i. e.] as such it is not preposed to anything except a verb, (S, O,) either a pret. or an aor. , (TA,) from which it is not separated unless by an oath, (Mughnee,) such as is perfectly inflected, enunciative, (Mughnee, K,) not an imperative, (TA,) affirmative, and free from anything that would render it mejzoom or man-soob, and from what is termed حَرْف تَنْفِيس [i. e.

سَوْفُ and its variants]: and it has six meanings. (Mughnee, K.) b2: (1) It denotes expectation: (M, Mughnee, K:) and when it is with an aor. , this is evident; (Mughnee;) one says قَدْ يَقْدَمُ الغَائِبُ, (Mughnee, K,) meaning It is expected that the absent will come: (TA:) and most affirm that it is thus used with a pret.: (Mughnee:) accord. to some, (M,) it is used in reply to the saying لَمَّا يَفْعَلْ [i. e. “ He has not yet done ” such a thing, which implies expectation that he would do it]; (S, M, O;) the reply being, قَدْفَعَلَ [Already he has done the thing]: (M:) and Kh asserts that it is used in reply to persons expecting information; (S, M, * O, Mughnee;) [for to such] you say, قَدْ مَاتَ فَلَانٌ [Already such a one has died]; but if one inform him who does not expect it, he does not say thus, but he says [merely] مَاتَ فُلَانٌ: (S, O:) thus some say قَدْ رَكِبَ الأَمِيرُ [Already the commander has mounted his horse] to him who expects his mounting: some, however, disallow that قَدْ is used to denote expectation with the pret. because the pret. denotes what is already past; and hence it appears that those who affirm it to be so used mean that the pret. denotes what was expected before the information: (Mughnee: [in which it is added, with some other observations, that, in the opinion of its author, it does not denote expectation even with the aor. ; because the saying يَقْدَمُ الغَئِبُ denotes expectation without قَدْ:]) MF says, What we have been orally taught by the sheykhs in ElAndalus is this, that it is a particle denoting the affirmation of truth, or certainty, when it occurs before a pret., and a particle denoting expectation when it occurs before a future. (TA.) b3: (2) It denotes the nearness of the past to the present: (O, Mughnee, K:) so in the saying قَدْ قَامَ زَيْدٌ [Zeyd has just, or just now, stood; a meaning often intended by saying merely, has stood]; (Mughnee, K;) for this phrase without قد may mean the near past and the remote past; (Mughnee;) and so in the saying of the muëdhdhin, قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ [The time of the rising to prayer has just come, or simply has come]: (O:) [and, when thus used, it is often immediately preceded by the pret. or aor. of the verb كَانَ; thus you say, كَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ He had just, or simply had, gone away; and يَكُونُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ He will, or shall, have just, or simply have gone away:] and accord. to the Basrees, except Akh, it must be either expressed or understood immediately before a pret. used as a denotative of state; as in [the saying in the Kur ii. 247,] وَمَا لَنَا أَلَّا نُقَاتِلُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ وَقَدْ أُخْرِجْنَا مِنْ دِيَارِنَا وَأَبْنَائِنَا [And what reason have we that we should not fight in the cause of God when we have been expelled from our abodes and our children?]; and in [the saying in the Kur iv. 92,] أَوْ جَاؤُوكُمْ حَصِرَتْ صُدُورُهُمْ أنْ يُقَاتِلُوكَمْ [Or who come to you, their bosoms being contracted so that they are incapable of fighting you, or their bosoms shrinking from fighting you]; but the Koofees and Akh says that this is not required, because of the frequent occurrence of the pret. as a denotative of state without قَدْ, and [because] the primary rule is that there should be no meaning, or making, anything to be understood, more especially in the case of that which is in frequent use: (Mughnee:) Sb [however] does not allow the use of the pret. as a denotative of state without قَدْ; and he makes حصرت صدورهم to be an imprecation [meaning may their bosoms become contracted]: (S in art. حصر; in which art. in the present work see more on this subject:) and the inceptive لَ is prefixed to it like of the saying, إِنَّ زَيْدًا لَقَدْ قَامَ [Verily Zeyd has just stood, or has stood]; because the primary rule is that it is to be prefixed to the noun, and it is prefixed to the aor. because it resembles the noun, and when the pret. denotes a time near to the present it resembles the aor. and therefore it is allowable to prefix it thereto. (Mughnee.) [See also the two sentences next after what is mentioned below as the sixth meaning.] b4: (3) It denotes rareness, or paucity; (Mughnee, K;) either of the act signified by the verb, (Mughnee,) as in [the saying], قَدْ يَصْدُقُ الكَذُوبُ [In some few instances the habitual liar speaks truth]; (Mughnee, K;) or of what is dependent upon that act, as in [the saying in the Kur xxiv. last verse,] قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَا

أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ [as though] meaning أَنَّ مَا هُمْ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ

أَقَلُّ مَعْلُومَاتِهِ [so that it should be rendered At least He knoweth that state of conduct and mind to which ye are conforming yourselves]: but some assert that in these exs. and the like thereof it denotes the affirmation of truth, or certainty; [as will be shown hereafter;] and that the denoting of rareness, or paucity, in the former ex. is not inferred from قَدْ, but from the saying الكَذُوبُ يَصْدُقٌ. (Mughnee.) b5: (4) It denotes frequency; (Mughnee, K;) [i. e.] sometimes (S, O) it is used as syn. with رُــبَّمَا [as denoting frequency, as well as with رُــبَّمَا in the contr. sense, mentioned in the next preceding sentence]: (S, M, O:) thus in the saying (S, M, O, Mughnee, K) of the Hudhalee, (M, Mughnee,) or 'Abeed Ibn-El-Abras, (IB, TA,) قَدْ أَتْرُكُ القِرْنَ مُصْفَرًّا أَنَامِلُهُ [Often I leave the antagonist having his fingers' ends become yellow]. (S, M, O, Mughnee, K.) b6: (5) It denotes the affirmation of truth, or certainty: thus in [the saying in the Kur xci. 9,] قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا [Verily, or certainly, or indeed, or really, he prospereth, or will prosper, who purifieth it; (namely, his soul;) each pret. here occupying the place of a mejzoom aor. ]: (Mughnee, K:) and thus accord. to some in [the saying in the Kur xxiv. last verse, of which another explanation has been given above,] قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ [Verily, or certainly, &c., He knoweth that state of conduct and mind to which ye are conforming yourselves]. (Mughnee.) b7: (6) It denotes negation, (Mughnee, K,) accord. to ISd, (Mughnee,) occupying the place of مَا, (M,) in the saying, قَدْ كُنْتَ فِى خَيْرٍ فَتَعْرِفَهُ, (M, Mughnee, K,) with تعرف mansoob, [as though meaning Thou wast not in prosperity, that thou shouldst know it,] (Mughnee, K,) heard from one of the chaste in speech: (M:) but this is strange. (Mughnee.) b8: [When it is used to denote the nearness of the past to the present, as appears to be indicated by the context in the O,] قَدْ may be separated from the verb by an oath; as in قَدْ وَاللّٰهِ أَحْسَنْتَ [Thou hast, by God, done well] and قَدْ لَعَمْرِى بِتُّ سَاهِرًا [I have, by my life, or by my religion, passed the night sleepless]. (O, Mughnee. [In the latter, this and what here next follows are mentioned before the explanations of the meanings of the particle; probably because the meaning in these cases can hardly be mistaken.]) And the verb may be suppressed after it, (M, * O, Mughnee,) when its meaning is apprehended, (O,) or because of an indication; (Mughnee;) as in the saying of En-Nábighah (M, O, Mughnee) Edh-Dhubyánee, (O,) أَفِدَ التَّرَحُّلُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ رِكَابَنَا لَمَّا تَزُلْ بِرِحَالِنَا وَكَأَنْ قَدِ [The time of departure has drawn near, though the camels that we ride have not left with our utensils and apparatus for travelling, but it is as though they had (left)]; meaning كَأَنْ قَدْ زَالَتْ. (M, O, Mughnee.) b9: If you make قَدْ an اِسْم [i. e. a subst. or a proper name], you characterize it by teshdeed: therefore you say, كَتَبْتُ قَدًّا حَسَنَةً [I wrote a beautiful قد]; and so you do in the case of كَىْ and هُوَ and لَوْ; because these words have no indication of what is deficient in them [supposing them to be originally of three radical letters], therefore it is requisite to add to the last letter of each what is of the same kind as it, and this is incorporated into it: but not in the case of ا; for in this case you add ء; thus if you name a man لَا, or مَا, and then add at the end of it ا, you make it ء; for you make the second ا movent, and ا when movent becomes ء: (S, O:) so says J, [and Sgh has followed him in the O,] and such is the opinion of Akh and of a number of the grammarians of El-Basrah [and of El-Koofeh (MF)], and F has quoted this passage in the B and left it uncontradicted: but IB says, (TA,) [and after him F in the K,] this is a mistake: that only is characterized by teshdeed of which the last letter is infirm: you say, for هُوَ, (IB, K,) used as the name of a man, (IB,) هُوٌّ, (IB, K,) and for لَوْ you say لَوٌّ, and for فِى you say فِىٌّ; (IB;) and such is characterized by teshdeed only in order that the word may not be reduced to one letter on account of the quiescence of the infirm letter [which would disappear] with tenween [as it does in دَمٌ and يَدٌ &c.]: (K:) but as to قَدْ, if you use it as a name, you say قَدٌ; (IB, K;) and for مَنْ you say مَنٌ, and for عَنْ you say عَنٌ; (K;) like يَدٌ (IB, K) and دَمٌ &c.: (K:) F, however, [following IB,] is wrong in calling J's statement a mistake; though the rule given by him [and IB] is generally preferred. (MF, TA.) قَدٌّ The skin of a lamb or kid: (M, A, L, Msb, K:) or [only] of a kid: (S, O, L:) or, accord. to IDrd, a small skin, but of what kind he does not say: (M, L:) pl. (of pauc., S) أَقُدٌّ and (of mult., S) قِدَادٌ (ISk, S, M, L, Msb, K) and [of pauc. also] أَقِدَّةٌ, which is extr. (M, L.) Hence the saying, ↓ فُلَانٌ مَا يَعْرِفُ القَدَّ مِنَ القِدِّ Such a one knows not the skin of a lamb, or kid, from the thong. (A.) And hence, (O, K,) it is said in a prov., (S, M, A, O,) مَا يَجْمَلُ قَدَّكَ إِلَى أَدِيمِكَ (S, M, A, O, K) What approximates thy skin of a lamb, or kid, to thy hide [of a full-grown beast]? meaning, accord. to Th, (assumed tropical:) what makes the great to be like the little? (M: [or the little to be like the great?]) or meaning what induces thee to make thy small affair [appear] great? (S:) or what approximates thy small [affair] to thy great? (O, K:) applied to him who transgresses his proper limit; (M, O, K;) and to him who compares the contemptible with the noble. (O, K.) b2: See also قِدٌّ, in two places.

A2: Also (assumed tropical:) The measure, quantity, size, or bulk, (M, L, Msb, K,) of a thing: (M, L:) (tropical:) the conformation, or proportion, syn. تَقْطِيع, (S, M, A, O, L, K,) of a thing, (M, L,) or of a young woman, (A,) or of a man: (K:) (tropical:) the stature, syn. قَامَة, (S, A, O, L, K,) of a man: (K:) (assumed tropical:) his justness of form, or symmetry: (M, L, K:) and (assumed tropical:) his figure, person, or whole body: (M, L:) pl. [of pauc.] أَقُدٌّ (M, L, K) and أَقِدَّةٌ, (K,) which is extr., (TA,) and [of mult.] قُدُودٌ (M, L, K) and قِدَادٌ. (K.) One says, هٰذَا عَلَى قَدِّ ذَاكَ (assumed tropical:) This is equal in measure, quantity, size, or bulk, to that; is like that. (Msb.) And شَىْءٌ حَسَنُ القَدِّ (assumed tropical:) A thing goodly, or beautiful, in respect of conformation, or proportion. (L.) And جَارِيَةٌ حَسَنَةُ القَدِّ (tropical:) A young woman goodly, or beautiful, in respect of stature, and of conformation, or proportion. (A.)

A4: By the phrase يَا وَيْلَ قَدٍّ, addressed to Mikdád, in a verse of Jereer, is meant يَا وَيْلَ مِقْدَادٍ [O, woe to thee Mikdád]; the poet restricting himself to some of the letters [of the name]: an instance [more obviously] of a similar kind is سَلَّام used by El-Hoteiäh for سُلَيْمَان. (O.) قُدٌّ A certain marine fish, (O, K,) the eating of which is said to increase [the faculty of] الجِمَاع. (O.) قِدٌّ A thing that is مَقْدُود [i. e. cut in an elongated form, &c.].

مَحَامِل are bound: (M, L:) and ↓ قِدَّةٌ [of which the pl. is قِدَدٌ] is a more special term, (S, O, L,) signifying a single thong of this kind. (K.) See an ex. voce قَدٌّ. b3: And (hence, L) A whip; (O, L, K;) as also ↓ قَدٌّ. (K.) Thus in the trad., لَقَابُ قَوْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ وَمَوْضِعُ قِدِّهِ فِى الجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا, (O, * L,) or ↓ قَدِّهِ, (K,) i. e. Verily the space that would be occupied by the bow of any one of you, and the place that would be occupied by his whip, in Paradise, are better than the present [sublunary] world and what is in it: or قِدّه may here have the meaning next following.

(S, O, K.) One says, مَا لَهُ قِدٌّ وَلَا قِحْفٌ He has not a vessel of skin nor a vessel of wood: (S, O, M:) or a skin nor a fragment of a drinking-cup or bowl. (M.) b6: شَدِيدُ القِدِّ occurs in a trad. as some relate it, meaning Having a strong bowstring: but accord. to others, it is ↓ شَدِيدُ القَدِّ, meaning strong in pulling the bow.

(Msb.) Hence, كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا, (S, L, O, K,) in the Kur [lxxii. 11], (L, O,) said by the Jinn, (Fr, L,) We were parties, or sects, differing in their erroneous opinions, or in their desires: (Fr, O, L, K:) or separate [sects]; Muslims and not Muslims: (Zj:) or diverse, or discordant, or various, sects; Muslims and unbelievers. (Jel.) And one says, صَارَ القَوْمُ قِدَدًا The people became divided, or different, in their states, or conditions, and their desires, or erroneous opinions. (L.) قَدَادٌ The hedge-hog: b2: and The jerboa. (O, K.) قُدَادٌ A pain [app. what may be termed a cutting pain] in the belly.

(L.) b2: ثَوْبٌ قَدِيدٌ A garment, or piece of cloth, [slit, or rent, and] old and worn out. (S, O, L, K.) قُدَيْدٌ A small مِسْح [or garment of thick, or coarse, hair-cloth], (M, * K, * TA,) such as is worn by persons of low condition. (TA.) قَدِيدِيُّونَ, (IAth, O, K, TA,) thus accord. as a trad., in which it occurs is related, (IAth, TA,) not to be pronounced with damm, (K,) or, as some say, it is [قُدَيْدِيُّونَ, i. e.] with damm to the ق and fet-h to the [first] د, (IAth, TA,) and thus in the handwriting of Z in the “ Fáïk,” (O,) [and thus I find it in a copy of the A,] The followers of an army, consisting of handicraftsmen, (A, IAth, O, K, TA,) such as the repairer of cracked wooden bowls, and the farrier, (O, K, TA,) and the blacksmith: (O, TA:) of the dial. of the people of Syria: as though they were called by the former appellation because of the tattered state of their clothing; (O;) or by the latter as though, by reason of their low condition, they wore the small مِسْح called قُدَيْد; or from التَّقَدُّدُ, because they disperse themselves in the provinces on account of need, and because of the tattered state of their clothing; and the diminutive form denotes mean estimation of their condition: (IAth, TA:) a man (IAth, O, TA) of them (O) is reviled by its being said to him يَا قَدِيدىُّ (IAth, O, TA) and يا قُدَيْدِىُّ: (IAth, TA:) and it is commonly used in the language of the Persians also. (O.) قَيْدُودٌ A she-camel long in the back: (O, K:) but this is said to be derived from القَوْدُ, like الكَيْنُونَةُ from الكَوْنُ: (L:) [see art. قود:] pl. قَيَادِيدُ. (K. [In the O the pl. is written قَنَادِيدُ.]) مَقَدٌّ (tropical:) A road: (A, K, TA:) because it is cut: so in the phrase مَفَازَةٌ مُسْتَقِيمَةُ المَقَدِّ (tropical:) [A desert, or waterless desert, whereof the road is straight, or direct].

القادِسِيَّةُ:
قال أبو عمرو: القادس السفينة العظيمة، قال المنجمون: طول القادسية تسع وستون درجة، وعرضها إحدى وثلاثون درجة وثلثا درجة، ساعات النهار بها أربع عشرة ساعة وثلثان، وبينها وبين الكوفة خمسة عشر فرسخا، وبينها وبين العذيب أربعة أميال، قيل:
سميت القادسية بقادس هراة، وقال المدايني: كانت القادسية تسمى قديسا، وروى ابن عيينة قال: مرّ إبراهيم بالقادسية فرأى زهرتها ووجد هناك عجوزا فغسلت رأسه فقال: قدّست من أرض، فسميت القادسية، وبهذا الموضع كان يوم القادسية بين سعد ابن ابي وقّاص والمسلمين والفرس في أيام عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، في سنة 16 من الهجرة، وقاتل المسلمون يومئذ وسعد في القصر ينظر إليهم فنسب إلى الجبن، فقال رجل من المسلمين:
ألم تر أن الله أنزل نصره ... وسعد بباب القادسية معصم
فأبنا وقد آمت نساء كثيرة ... ونسوة سعد ليس فيهنّ أيّم
وقال بشر بن ربيعة في ذلك اليوم:
ألمّ خيال من أميمة موهنا ... وقد جعلت أولى النجوم تغور
ونحن بصحراء العذيب ودوننا ... حجازية، إن المحلّ شطير
فزارت غريبا نازحا جلّ ماله ... جواد ومفتوق الغرار طرير
وحلّت بباب القادسية ناقتي ... وسعد بن وقاص عليّ أمير
تذكّر، هداك الله، وقع سيوفنا ... بباب قديس والمكرّ ضرير
عشيّة ودّ القوم لو أن بعضهم ... يعار جناحي طائر فيطير
إذا برزت منهم إلينا كتيبة ... أتونا بأخرى كالجبال تمور
فضاربتهم حتى تفرّق جمعهم، ... وطاعنت، إني بالطّعان مهير
وعمرو أبو ثور شهيد وهاشم ... وقيس ونعمان الفتى وجرير
والأشعار في هذا اليوم كثير لأنها كانت من أعظم وقائع المسلمين وأكثرها بركة، وكتب عمر، رضي الله عنه، إلى سعد بن أبي وقاص يأمره بوصف منزله من القادسية فكتب إليه سعد: إن القادسية فيما بين الخندق والعتيق وإنما عن يسار القادسية بحر أخضر في جوف لاح إلى الحيرة بين طريقين فأما إحداهما فعلى الظهر وأما الأخرى فعلى شاطئ نهر يسمى الحضوض يطلع بمن يسلكه على ما بين الخورنق والحيرة، وإنما عن يمين القادسية فيض من فيوض مياههم، وإن جميع من صالح المسلمين قبلي ألّب لأهل فارس قد خفّوا لهم واستعدّوا لنا، وذكر أصحاب الفتوح أن القادسية كانت أربعة أيام: فسموا الأول يوم أرماث واليوم الثاني يوم أغواث واليوم الثالث يوم عماس وليلة اليوم الرابع ليلة الهرير واليوم الرابع سموه يوم القادسية، وكان الفتح للمسلمين وقتل رستم جازويه ولم يقم للفرس بعده قائمة، وقال ابن الكلبي فيما حكاه هشام قال: إنما سميت القادسية لأن ثمانية آلاف من ترك الخزر كانوا قد ضيّقوا على كسرى بن هرمز، وكتب قادس هراة إلى كسرى: إن كفيتك مؤونة هؤلاء الترك تعطيني ما أحتكم عليك؟ قال: نعم، فبعث النريمان إلى أهل القرى: اني سأنزل عليكم الترك فاصنعوا ما آمركم، وبعث النريمان إلى الأتراك وقال لهم: تشتّوا في أرضي العام، ففعلوا وأقبل منها ثمانية آلاف في منازل أصحابه بهراة فبعث النريمان إلى أهل الدّور وقال: ليذبح كل رجل منكم نزيله الذي نزل عليه ثم يغدو إليّ بسبلته، ففعلوا ذلك وذبحوهم عن آخرهم وغدوا إليه بسبلاتهم فنظمها في خيط وبعثها إلى كسرى وقال: قد وفيت لك فأوف لي بما شرطت عليك، فبعث إليه كسرى أن اقدم عليّ، فقدم عليه النريمان فقال له كسرى: احتكم، فقال له النريمان: تضع لي سريرا مثل سريرك وتعقد على رأسي تاجا مثل تاجك وتنادمني من غدوة إلى الليل، ففعل ذلك به ثم قال: أوفيت؟ قال: نعم، فقال له كسرى: لا والله لا ترى هراة أبدا فتجلس بين قومك وتحدث بما جرى، وأنزله موضع القادسية ليكون ردءا له من العرب فسمي الموضع القادسية بقادس هراة، وكان قدم عليه النريمان ومعه أربعة آلاف فكانوا بالقادسية، فلما كان يوم القادسية قرن أصحاب النريمان بن النريمان أنفسهم بالسلاسل كيلا يفروا فقتلوا كلهم ورجعت ابنة النريمان إلى مرو وأم النريمان ابن النريمان كبشة بنت النعمان بن المنذر، قال هشام:
فالشاه بن الشاه من ولد نريمان وهو الشاه بن الشاه بن لان بن نريمان بن نريمان، قال: ويقال إنما سميت القادسية بقديس وكان قصرا بالعذيب، وقد نسب إلى القادسية عدة قوم من الرواة، منهم: علي بن أحمد القادسي القطان، روى عن عبد الحميد بن صالح، يروي عنه جعفر الخلدي. والقادسية أيضا: قرية كبيرة من نواحي دجيل بين حربى وسامرّا يعمل بها الزجاج، وقد نسب إليها قوم من الرواة، وإليها ينسب الشيخ أحمد المقري الضرير وولده محمد بن أحمد القادسي الكتبي، وفي هذه القادسية يقول جحظة:
إلى شاطئ القاطول بالجانب الذي ... به القصر بين القادسية والنخل
في قصيدة ذكرت في القاطول.
