امر

1 أَمَرَهُ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـُ (M, &c.,) inf. n. أَمْرٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and إِمَارٌ, (M, L, K,) which latter, however, is disapproved by MF, (TA,) and إِيمَارٌ is syn. therewith, (K,) but this also is disapproved by MF, and deemed by him strange, [being by rule the inf. n. of ↓ آمَرَهُ, respecting which see what follows,] (TA,) and آمِرَةٌ, (M, K,) which is one of the inf. ns. [or quasiinf. ns.] of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ, like عَافِيَةٌ and عَاقِبَةٌ, (M,) He commanded him; ordered him; bade him; enjoined him; the inf. n. signifying the contr. of نَهْىٌ; (T, M, K;) as also ↓ آمرهُ, (Kr, M, K,) mentioned by A'Obeyd also as a dial. var. of أمَرَهُ: (Msb:) but A'Obeyd says that آمَرْتُهُ and أَمرْتُهُ are syn. [in a sense different from that explained above, i. e.] as meaning كَثَّرْتُهُ. (TA.) You say, أَمَرَهُ بِهِ, (S, M, K,) and أَمَرَهُ إِيَّاهُ, suppressing the prep., (M,) He commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do it. (M, K.) And أمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ, and لِتَفْعَلَ, and بِأنْ تَفْعَلَ, I commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, thee to do [such a thing]. (M.) [And أَمَرَهُ بِكَذَا as meaning He commanded him, or ordered him, to make use of such a thing; or the like: whence, in a trad.,] أُمِرْتُ بِالسِّوَاكِ [I have been commanded to make use of the tooth-stick]. (El-Jámi' es-Sagheer.) [And He enjoined him such a thing; as, for instance, patience.] The imperative of أَمَرَ is مُرْ; originally اؤْمُرْ; which also occurs [with وَ in the place of ؤ when the ا is pronounced with damm]: (M:) but [generally] when it is not preceded by a conjunction, (Msb,) i. e., by وَ or فَ, (T,) you suppress the ء, [i. e. the radical ء, and with it the conjunctive ا preceding it,] contr. to rule, and say, مُرْهُ بِكَذَا [Command, or order, or bid, or enjoin, thou him to do such a thing]; like as you say, كُلْ and خُذْ: when, however, it is preceded by a conjunction, the practice commonly obtaining is, to restore the وَأْمُرْ بِكَذَا, agreeably with analogy, and thus to say, أَمُرْ بِكَذَا. (Msb.) b2: [You say also, أَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ He gave an order respecting him, and accordingly he was slain. And أَمَرَ لَهُ بِكَذَا He ordered that such a thing should be done, or given, to him.] b3: In the Kur [xvii. 17], أَمَرْنَا مُتْرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُوا فِيهَا, so accord. to most of the readers, (T, &c.,) means We commanded [its luxurious inhabitants] to obey, but they transgressed therein, or departed from the right way, or disobeyed: (Fr, T, S, &c.:) so says Aboo-Is-hák; adding that, although one says, أَمَرتُ زَيْدًا فَضَرَبَ عَمْرًا, meaning I commanded Zeyd to beat 'Amr, and he beat him, yet one also says, أَمَرْتُكَ فَعَصَيْتَنِى [I commanded thee, but thou disobeyedst me]: or, accord. to some, the meaning is, We multiplied its luxurious inhabitants; (T;) and this is agreeable with another reading, namely, ↓ آمَرْنَا; (TA;) and a reading of El-Hasan, namely, أَمِرْنَا, like عَلِمْنَا, may be a dial. var., of the same signification: (M:) see 4, in two places: or it may be from الإِمَارَةُ; (S, TA;) [in which case it seems that we should read ↓ أَمَّرْنَا; or, perhaps, أَمَرْنَا: see 2:] Abu-l-'Áliyeh reads ↓ أَمَّرْنَا, and this is agreeable with the explanation of I'Ab, who says that the meaning is, We made its chiefs to have authority, power, or dominion. (TA.) b4: أَمَرَهُ, aor. ـُ also signifies He commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do that which it behooved him to do. (A.) [He counselled, or advised, him.] One says, مُرْنِى, meaning Counsel thou me; advise thou me. (A.) b5: أَمَرَ بِاقْتِنَاصٍ, said of a wild animal, means He rendered the beholder desirous of capturing him. (M.) A2: أَمَرَ, (As, Fr, Th, T, S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb, TA;) and أَمُرَ, aor. ـُ (S, M, IKtt, K;) and أَمِرَ, aor. ـَ (M, K, and several other authorities; but by some this is disallowed; TA;) inf. n. أَمْرٌ (K) and إِمْرَةٌ (S) and إِمَارَةٌ; (As, T, S;) or the second is a simple subst.; (K;) or perhaps it is meant in the S that this and the third are quasi-inf. ns.; (MF;) He had, or held, command; he presided as a commander, governor, lord, prince, or king; (M, Msb, K;) he became an أَمِير; (As, T, S;) عَلَى

القَوْمِ over the people. (M, * Msb, K.) [See also 5.]

أَمَرَ فُلَانٌ وَأُمِرَ عَلَيْهِ, or عليه ↓ وأُمِّرَ, (as in different copies of the S,) [Such a one has held command and been commanded,] is said of one who has been a commander, or governor, after having been a subject of a commander, or governor; meaning such a one is a person of experience; or one who has been tried, or proved and strengthened, by experience. (S.) A3: أَمَرَهُ as syn. with آمَرَهُ: see 4.

A4: أَمِرَ, (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. أَمَرٌ and أَمْرَة; (M, K, TA; the latter written in the CK اَمْرَة;) and أمُرَ, aor. ـَ (IKtt;) (assumed tropical:) It (a thing, M, Msb, or a man's property, or camels or the like, Abu-l-Hasan and S, and a people, T, S) multiplied; or became many, or much, or abundant; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) and became complete. (M, K.) b2: And the former, (assumed tropical:) His beasts multiplied; or became many; (M, K;) [ as also ↓ آمر; for you say,] بَنُو فُلَانٍ ↓ آمر, inf. n. إِيمَارٌ, (assumed tropical:) The property, or camels or the like, of the sons of such a one multiplied; or became many, or abundant.

(Akh, S, K.) 2 أمّرهُ, inf. n. تَأْمِيرٌ, He made him, or appointed him, commander, governor, lord, prince, or king. (S, * Mgh, Msb.) [And it seems to be indicated in the S that ↓ أَمَرَهُ, without teshdeed, signifies the same.] See 1, in three places. Yousay also, أُمِّرَعَلَيْنَا (A, TA) He was made, or appointed, commander, &c., over us. (TA.) b2: Also He appointed him judge, or umpire. (Mgh.) b3: أمّر القَنَاةَ (assumed tropical:) He affixed a spear-head to the cane or spear. (T, M.) [See also the pass. part. n., below.] b4: أمّرأَمَارَةٍ He made [a thing] a sign, or mark, to show the way. (T.) 3 آمرهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ, (T, * S, M, Msb,) inf. n. مُؤَامَرَةٌ, (S, K,) He consulted him respecting his affair, or case; (T, * S, M, Msb, K, * TA;) as also وَامَرَهُ; (TA;) or this is not a chaste form; (IAth, TA;) or it is vulgar; (S, TA;) and ↓ استأمرهُ, (M,) inf. n. اسْتِئْمَارٌ; (S, K;) and ↓ ائتمرهُ, (T,) inf. n. ائتِمَارٌ. (S, K.) It is said in a trad., آمِرُوا النِّسَآءَ فِى أَنْفُسِهِنَّ Consult ye women respecting themselves, as to marrying them. (TA.) And in another trad., آمَرَتْ نَفْسَهَا, meaning She consulted herself, or her mind; as also ↓ استأمرت نفسها. (TA.) [See another ex. voce نَفْسٌ. and see also 8.]4 آمر, inf. n. إِيمَارٌ: see 1, last sentence but one, in two places.

A2: آمْرٌ; (S, M, Msb, K;) and ↓ أَمَرَهُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) accord. to some, (M,) aor. ـُ (Msb, K,) inf. n. أَمْرٌ; (Msb;) both signifying the same accord. to AO, (S,) or A 'Obeyd, (TA,) but the latter is of weak authority, (K,) or is not allowable; (M;) and, accord. to El-Hasan's reading of xvii. 17 of the Kur, (see 1,) ↓ أَمِرَهُ also; (M;) (assumed tropical:) He (a man) multiplied it; or made it many, or much, or abundant: (S, Msb:) He (God) multiplied, or made many or much or abundant, his progeny, and his beasts: (M, K:) and آمر مَالَهُ (assumed tropical:) He (God) multiplied, &c., his property, or camels or the like. (S.) A3: See also 1, first sentence, in two places.5 تأمّر He became made, or appointed, commander, governor, lord, prince, or king; (Msb;) he received authority, power, or dominion; عَلَيْهِمْ over them. (S, K.) [See also أَمَرَ.] b2: See also 8.6 تَاَاْمَرَ see 8, in three places.8 ائتمر [written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَمَرَ] He obeyed, or conformed to, a command; (S, * M, Mgh, K; *) he heard and obeyed. (Msb.) You say, ائتمر بِخَيْرٍ, meaning He was as though his mind commanded him to do good and he obeyed the command. (M.) And [you use it transitively, saying,] ائتمر الأَمْرَ He obeyed, or conformed to, the command. (S.) And لَا يَأْتَمِرُ رُشْدًا He will not do right of his own accord. (A.) Imra el-Keys says, (S,) or En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab, (T,) وَيَعْدُو عَلَى المَرْءِ مَا يَأْتَمِرْ [And that which man obeys wrongs him, or injures him]; meaning, that which his own soul commands him to do, and which he judges to be right, but in which often is found his destruction: (S:) or, accord. to KT, that evil which man purposes to do: (T:) or that which man does without consideration, and without looking to its result. (A 'Obeyd, T.) [See what follows.] b2: He undertook a thing without consulting; (KT, T;) as though his soul, or mind, ordered him to do it and he obeyed it: (TA:) he followed his own opinion only. (Mgh.) One says, أَمَرْتُهُ فأْتَمَرَ وَأَبَى

أَنْ يَأْتَمِرَ, (A, Mgh,) meaning I commanded him, but he followed his own opinion only, and refused to obey. (Mgh.) b3: He formed an opinion, and consulted his own mind, and determined upon it. (Sh, T.) And ائتمر رَأْيَهُ He consulted his own mind, or judgment, respecting what was right for him to do. (Sh, T.) b4: ائتمروا, (A, Msb,) inf. n. ائْتِمَارٌ; (S, K;) and ↓ تآمروا, (A,) inf. n. تَآمُرٌ, of the measure تَفَاعُلٌ; (S;) and ↓ تأمّروا, (TA,) inf. n. تَأَمُّرٌ; (K;) They consulted together: (S, * A, Msb, K: *) or ائتمروا and ↓ تآمروا signify they commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, one another; like as one says, اقتتلوا and تقاتلوا, and اختصموا and تخاصموا: (T:) or ائتمروا عَلَى الأَمْرِ and عَلَيْهِ ↓ تآمروا, they determined, or settled, their opinions respecting the affair, or case: (M:) and ائتمروا بِهِ, (S, Msb,) inf. n. as above, (K,) signifies they purposed it, (S, Msb, K, *) namely, a thing, (Msb, K,) and consulted one another respecting it. (S.) It is said in the Kur [lxv. 6], وَأْتَمِرُوا بَيْنَكُمْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ And command ye, or enjoin ye, one another to do good: [such is app. the meaning,] but God best knoweth: (T:) or, accord. to KT, purpose ye among yourselves to do good. (TA.) And in the same [xxviii. 19], إِنَّ الْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلوُكَ, meaning Verily the chiefs command one another respecting thee, to slay thee: (Zj, T:) or consult together against thee, to slay thee: (AO, T:) or purpose against thee, to slay thee: (KT, T:) but the last but one of these explanations is better than the last. (T.) b5: See also 3. b6: Accord. to El-Bushtee, ائتمرهُ also signifies He gave him permission: but this has not been heard from an Arab. (Az, TA.) 10 إِسْتَاْمَرَ see 3, in two places.

أَمْرٌ A command; an order; a bidding; an injunction; a decree; an ordinance; a prescript: (S, * Msb, * TA, &c.:) pl. أَوَامِرُ: (S, Msb, &c.:) so accord. to common usage; and some writers of authority justify and explain it by saying that أَمْرٌ is [originally] مَأْمُوُرٌ بِهِ; that it is then changed to the measure فَاعِلٌ; [i. e., to آمِرٌ;] like أَمْرٌ عَارِفٌ, which is originally مَعْرُوفٌ; and عِيشَةٌ راضِيَةٌ, originally مَرْضِيَّةٌ; &c.; [and then, to أَمْرٌ;] and that فَاعِلٌ becomes in the pl. فَوَاعِلُ; so that أَوَامَرُ is the pl. of مَإْمُورٌ: others say that it has this form of pl. to distinguish it from أَمْرٌ in the sense of حَالٌ [&c.], in which sense it has for its pl. أُمُورٌ. (Msb, TA.) [But I think that أَوَامِرُ may be properly and originally pl. of آمِرَةٌ, for آيَةٌ آمِرَةٌ, or the like. MF says that, accord. to the T and M, the pl. of أَمْرٌ in the sense explained in the beginning of this paragraph is أُمُورٌ: but he seems to have founded his assertion upon corrupted copies of those works; for in the M, I find nothing on this point; and in the T, not, as he says, الأَمْرُضِدُّ النَّهْىَ وَاحِدُ الأُمُور, but قَالَ اللَّيْثُ الأَمْرُ مَعْرُوفٌ نَقِيضُ النَّهْىِ وَاحِدُ الأُمُورِ, evidently meaning that أَمْرٌ signifies the contr. of نَهْىٌ, and is also, in another sense, the sing. of أُمُورٌ.] [Hence,] أُولُو الأَمْرِ Those who hold command or rule, and the learned men. (M, K. [See Kur iv. 62.]) and أَمْرُاللّٰهِ The threatened punishment of God: so in the Kur x. 25, and xi. 42, and xvi.1; in which last place occur the words, أَتَي أَمْرُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ, meaning The threatened punishment ordained of God hath, as it were, come: so near is it, that it is as though it had already come: therefore desire not ye to hasten it. (Zj, M, TA.) And The purpose of God. (Bd and Jel in lxv. 3; &c.) and الأَمْرُ قَرِيبٌ The resurrection, or the time thereof, is near. (Mgh, from a trad.) And مَا فَعَلْتُهُ عَنْ

أَمْرِى, in the Kur xviii. 81, I did it not of my own judgment: (Bd:) or, of my own choice. (Jel.) [Hence also الأَمْرُ, in grammar, signifies The imperative form of a verb.] b2: Also A thing; an affair; a business; a matter; a concern: a state, of a person or thing, or of persons or things or affairs or circumstances; a condition; a case: an accident; an event: an action: syn. شَأْنٌ: (M, F, TA:) and حَالٌ, (Msb, TA,) and حَالَةٌ: (Msb:) and حَادِثَةٌ: (K:) and فِعْلٌ: (MF, TA:) and a thing that is said; a saying: ( TA voce أُولُو, at the end of art. ال:) pl. أُمُورٌ; (S, M, K, &c.;) its only pl. in the senses here explained. (TA.) You say, أَمْرُ فُلَانٍ مُسْتَقِيمٌ [The affair, or the like, of such a one is in a right state]: and امُورُهُ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ [His affairs are in a right state]. (S, A.) And شَتَّتَ أَمْرَهُ He dissipated, disorganized, disordered, unsettled, or broke up, his state of things, or affairs. (As, TA in art. شعب.) [امر seems to be here used, as in many other instances, rather in the sense of the pl. than in that of the sing.] b3: أَمْرٌ كُلِّىٌّ [A universal, or general, prescript, rule, or canon]. (Msb voce قَاعِدَةٌ, KT voce قَانُونٌ, &c.) إِمْرٌ a subst. from أَمِرَالِأَمْرُ in the sense of اِشْتَدَّ; (S;) or a subst. from أَمِرَ as signifying كَثُرَ and تَمَّ; (M;) (assumed tropical:) [A severe, a distressful, a grievous, or an afflictive, thing: or] a terrible, and foul, or very foul, thing: or a wonderful thing. (TA,) Hence, [used as an epithet, like أَمِرٌ, q. v.,] in the Kur [xviii. 70], لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا إِمْرًا (assumed tropical:) Verily thou hast done a severe, a distressful, a grievous, or an afflictive, thing: (S:) or a terrible, and foul, or very foul, thing: (TA:) or a wonderful thing: (S:) or an abominable, a foul, or an evil, and a wonderful, thing: (Ks, M, K: *) or a terrible and an abominable thing; signifying more than نَكْرًا, [which occurs after, in verse 73,] inasmuch as the [presumed] drowning of the persons in the ship was more abominable than the slaying of one person: (Zj, T:) or a crafty, and an abominable, or a foul, or an evil, and a wonderful, thing; and derived from أَمِرَ القَوْمُ as meaning كَثُرُوا. (Ks.) أَمَرٌ a coll. gen. n. of which أَمَرَةٌ (q. v.) is the n. un.

A2: See also تَأْمُورٌ.

أَمِرٌ: see إِمَّرٌ.

A2: (assumed tropical:) Multiplied; or become many, or much, or abundant. (M, K.) [See أَمِرَ.] Yousay زَرْعٌ أَمِرٌ (assumed tropical:) Abundant seed-produce. (Lh, M.) b2: (assumed tropical:) A man whose beasts have multiplied, or become many or abundant. (M.) (assumed tropical:) A man blessed, or prospered, (Ibn-Buzurj, M, K, *) in his property: (M:) fem. with ة. (Ibn-Buzurj.) and with ة, (assumed tropical:) A woman blessed to her husband [ by her being prolific]: from the signification of كَثْرَةٌ. (M.) A3: (assumed tropical:) Severe; distressful; afflictive. (TA.) [See also إِمْرٌ.]

أَمْرَةٌ A single command, order, bidding, or injunction: as in the saying, لَكَ عَلَىَّ أَمْرَةٌ مُطَاعَةٌ Thou hast authority to give me one command, order, bidding, or injunction, which shall be obeyed by me. (S, M, * A, Msb, K.) You should not say, [in this sense,] إِمْرَةٌ, with kesr. (T, S.) A2: See also إِمْرَةٌ.

إِمْرَةٌ a subst. from أَمَرَ [q. v.]; Possession of command; the office, and authority, of a commander, governor, lord, prince, or king; (M, * Msb, K;) as also ↓ إِمَارَةٌ (Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ; (L, K;) but this last is by some disallowed, and is said in the Fs and its Expositions to be unknown. (MF.) It is said in a trad., لَعَلَّكَ سآءَ تْكَ إِمْرَةُ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ Perhaps thy paternal uncle's son's possession of command hath displeased thee. (TA.) b2: [And hence, (assumed tropical:) Increase, or abundance, or the like; as also other forms mentioned in what follows.] You say, فِى وَجْهِ مَالِكَ تَعْرِفُ إِمْرَتَهُ (assumed tropical:) In the face of thy property, [meaning such as consists in camels or the like, and also money,] thou knowest its increase and abundance, and its expense: (S:) or ↓ إِمَّرَتَهُ, and ↓ إِمّرَتَهُ, which latter is a dial. var. of weak authority, and ↓ أَمَّرَتَهُ, i. e., its increase and abundance: (M:) or ↓ إِمَّرَتَهُ as meaning its prosperous state; as also ↓ أَمَارَتَهُ, and ↓ أَمْرَتَهُ: (Ibn-Buzurj:) accord. to AHeyth, who reads ↓ تُعْرَفُ إِمَّرَتُهُ, the meaning is, its decrease; but the correct meaning is, its increase, as Fr explains it. (T, TA.) It is said respecting anything of which one knows what is good in it at first sight: (Lh, M:) and means, on a thing's presenting itself, thou knowest its goodness. (T.) One says also, ↓ مأَحْسَنَ أَمَارَتَهُمْ (assumed tropical:) How good is their multiplying, and the multiplying of their offspring and of their number! (M.) And ↓ لَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ فِيهِ إِمَّرَةً (assumed tropical:) May God not make an increase to be therein. (T.) أَمَرَةٌ Stones: (K:) [or a heap of stones:] or it is the n. un. of أَمَرٌ, which signifies stones: (M:) or the latter signifies stones set up in order that one may be directed thereby to the right way: (Ham p. 409:) and the former also signifies a hill; (M, K;) and أَمَرٌ is [used as] its pl.: (M:) and a sign, or mark, by which anything is known; (M, K;) as also ↓ أَمَارٌ and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ; (As, S;) and أَمَرٌ is [used as] its pl. in this sense also: (M:) or a sign, or mark, set up to show the way; (AA, Fr;) as also ↓ أَمَارٌ and ↓ أَمَارَهٌ: (K:) or a small sign, or mark, of stones, to show the way, in a waterless desert; (S;) as also ↓ أَمَارٌ [and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ]; and any sign, or mark, that is prepared: (TA:) or a structure like a مَنَارَة [here app. meaning a tower of a mosque], upon a mountain, wide like a house or tent, and larger, of the height of forty times the stature of a man, made in the time of 'Ád and Irem; in some instances its foundation being like a house, though it consists only of stones piled up, one upon another, cemented together with mud, appearing as though it were of natural formation: (ISh, T:) the pl. (in all the senses above, K) [or rather the coll. gen. n.,] is أَمَرٌ. (S, K.) A2: See also إِمْرَةٌ.

أَمَارٌ and ↓ أَمَارَةٌ A sign, mark, or token. (As, S Mgh.) See also each voce أَمَرَةٌ, in three places. You say, هِى أَمَارَةُ مَا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ It is a sign, or token, of what is between me and thee. (T, * TA.) And a poet says, إِذَا طَلَعَتْ شَمْسُ النَّهَارِ فَإِنَّهَا

أَمَارَةُ تَسْلِيمِى عَلَيْكِ فَسَلِّمِى

[When the sun of day rises, it is a sign of my saluting thee, therefore do thou salute]. (TA.) b2: Also A time: (As, S, K:) so IAar explains the latter word, not particularizing the time as definite or otherwise: (M:) or a definite time: (TA:) or a time, or place, of promise or appointment; an appointed time or place; syn. مَوْعِدٌ: (M, Mgh, K:) or, accord. to some, the former word is pl. [or rather col. gen. n.] of the latter. (TA.) El-'Ajjáj says, إِذْ رَدَّهَا بِكَيْدِهِ فَارْتَدَّتِ

إِلَي أَمَارٍ وَأَمَارِ مُدَّتِى

When He (meaning God) brings it, ( namely my soul,) by his skilful ordering, and his power, [and it is thus brought, or it thus comes, to a set time, and] to the time of the end of my appointed period: امارمدّتى being as above; the former word being prefixed to the latter, governing it in the gen. case. (IB. [In the S we find وَأَمَارٌ مُدَّتِى.]) أَمُورٌ [an intensive epithet from أَمَرَهُ]. You say, إِنَّهُ لَأَمُورٌ بِالْمَعْروفِ وَنَهُوٌّ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ Verily he is one who strongly commands, or enjoins, good conduct, and who strongly forbids evil conduct. (S in art. نهى, and A. *) أَمِيرٌ One having, holding, or possessing, command; (S;) a commander; a governor; a lord; (M, * Msb;) a prince, or king: (M, K:) fem. with ة: (S, K:) pl. إُمَرَآءُ. (M, Msb, K.) b2: A leader of the blind. (M, K.) So in the saying of El-Aashà: إِذَاكَانَ هَادِى الفَتَى فِى البِلَا دِصَدْرَ القَنَاةِ أَطَاعَ الأَمِيرَا [When the young man's guide in the countries, or lands, or the like, is the top of the cane, he obeys the leader of the blind].

ومعناه الفرار، كما حكاه ابن الأعرابي، يقال: أجأ الرجل إذا فرّ، وقال الزمخشري: أجأ وسلمى جبلان عن يسار سميراء، وقد رأيتهما، شاهقان. ولم يقل عن يسار القاصد إلى مكة أو المنصرف عنها، وقال أبو عبيد السكوني: أجأ أحد جبلي طيّء وهو غربي فيد، وبينهما مسير ليلتين وفيه قرى كثيرة، قال:
ومنازل طيّء في الجبلين عشر ليال من دون فيد إلى أقصى أجإ، إلى القريّات من ناحية الشام، وبين المدينة والجبلين، على غير الجادّة: ثلاث مراحل. وبين الجبلين وتيماء جبال ذكرت في مواضعها من هذا الكتاب، منها دبر وغريّان وغسل. وبين كل جبلين يوم. وبين الجبلين وفدك ليلة. وبينهما وبين خيبر خمس ليال. وذكر العلماء بأخبار العرب أن أجأ سمّي باسم رجل وسمّي سلمى باسم امرأة. وكان من خبرهما أن رجلا من العماليق يقال له أجأ بن عبد الحيّ، عشق امرأة من قومه، يقال لها سلمى. وكانت لها حاضنة يقال لها العوجاء. وكانا يجتمعان في منزلها
حتى نذر بهما إخوة سلمى، وهم الغميم والمضلّ وفدك وفائد والحدثان وزوجها. فخافت سلمى وهربت هي وأجأ والعوجاء، وتبعهم زوجها وإخوتها فلحقوا سلمى على الجبل المسمى سلمى، فقتلوها هناك، فسمّي الجبل باسمها. ولحقوا العوجاء على هضبة بين الجبلين، فقتلوها هناك، فسمّي المكان بها. ولحقوا أجأ بالجبل المسمّى بأجإ، فقتلوه فيه، فسمّي به.
وأنفوا أن يرجعوا إلى قومهم، فسار كل واحد إلى مكان فأقام به فسمي ذلك المكان باسمه، قال عبيد الله الفقير إليه: وهذا أحد ما استدللنا به على بطلان ما ذكره النحويّون من أن أجأ مؤنثة غير مصروفة، لأنه جبل مذكّر، سمّي باسم رجل، وهو مذكر.
وكأنّ غاية ما التزموا به قول امرئ القيس:
أبت أجأ أن تسلم العام جارها، ... فمن شاء فلينهض لها من مقاتل
وهذا لا حجّة لهم فيه، لأن الجبل بنفسه لا يسلم أحدا، إنما يمنع من فيه من الرجال. فالمراد: أبت قبائل أجإ، أو سكّان أجإ، وما أشبهه، فحذف المضاف وأقام المضاف إليه مقامه، يدلّ على ذلك عجز البيت، وهو قوله:
فمن شاء فلينهض لها من مقاتل
والجبل نفسه لا يقاتل، والمقاتلة مفاعلة ولا تكون من واحد، ووقف على هذا من كلامنا نحويّ من أصدقائنا وأراد الاحتجاج والانتصار لقولهم، فكان غاية ما قاله: أن المقاتلة في التذكير والتأنيث مع الظاهر وأنت تراه قال: أبت أجأ. فالتأنيث لهذا الظاهر ولا يجوز أن يكون للقبائل المحذوفة بزعمك، فقلت له: هذا خلاف لكلام العرب، ألا ترى إلى قول حسان بن ثابت:
يسقون من ورد البريص عليهم ... بردى، يصفّق بالرحيق السّلسل
لم يرو أحد قط يصفّق إلا بالياء آخر الحروف لأنه يريد يصفّق ماء بردى، فرده إلى المحذوف وهو الماء، ولم يردّه إلى الظاهر، وهو بردى. ولو كان الأمر على ما ذكرت، لقال: تصفّق، لأن بردى مؤنث لم يجيء على وزنه مذكّر قط. وقد جاء الردّ على المحذوف تارة، وعلى الظاهر أخرى، في قول الله، عز وجل: وكم من قرية أهلكناها فجاءها بأسنا بياتا أوهم قائلون، ألا تراه قال: فجاءها فردّ على الظاهر، وهو القرية، ثم قال: أو هم قائلون فردّ على أهل القرية وهو محذوف، وهذا ظاهر، لا إشكال فيه. وبعد فليس هنا ما يتأوّل به التأنيث، إلا أن يقال: إنه أراد البقعة فيصير من باب التّحكّم، لأن تأويله بالمذكّر ضروريّ، لأنه جبل، والجبل مذكّر، وإنه سمي باسم رجل بإجماع كما ذكرنا، وكما نذكره بعد في رواية أخرى، وهو مكان وموضع ومنزل وموطن ومحلّ ومسكن. ولو سألت كل عربيّ عن أجإ لم يقل إلا أنه جبل، ولم يقل بقعة. ولا مستند إذا للقائل بتأنيثه البتة. ومع هذا فإنني إلى هذه الغاية لم أقف للعرب على شعر جاء فيه ذكر أجإ غير مصروف، مع كثرة استعمالهم لترك صرف ما ينصرف في الشعر، حتى إن أكثر النحويين قد رجّحوا أقوال الكوفيّين في هذه المسألة، وأنا أورد في ذلك من أشعارهم ما بلغني منها، البيت الذي احتجّوا به وقد مرّ، وهو قول امرئ القيس: أبت أجأ، ومنها قول عارق الطائي:
ومن مبلغ عمرو بن هند رسالة، ... إذا استحقبتها العيس تنضى من البعد
أيوعدني، والرمل بيني وبينه! تأمّل رويدا ما أمامة من هند ومن أجإ حولي رعان، كأنها قنابل خيل من كميت ومن ورد
قال العيزار بن الأخفش الطائي، وكان خارجيا:
ألا حيّ رسم الدّار أصبح باليا، ... وحيّ، وإن شاب القذال، الغوانيا
تحمّلن من سلمى فوجّهن بالضّحى ... إلى أجإ، يقطعن بيدا مهاويا
وقال زيد بن مهلهل الطائي:
جلبنا الخيل من أجإ وسلمى، ... تخبّ نزائعا خبب الرّكاب
جلبنا كلّ طرف أعوجيّ، ... وسلهبة كخافية الغراب
نسوف للحزام بمرفقيها، ... شنون الصّلب صمّاء الكعاب
وقال لبيد يصف كتيبة النّعمان:
أوت للشباح، واهتدت بصليلها ... كــتائب خضر ليس فيهنّ ناكل
كأركان سلمى، إذ بدت أو كأنّها ... ذرى أجإ، إذ لاح فيه مواسل
فقال فيه ولم يقل فيها، ومواسل قنّة في أجإ، وأنشد قاسم بن ثابت لبعض الأعراب:
إلى نضد من عبد شمس، كأنهم ... هضاب أجا أركانه لم تقصّف
قلامسة ساسوا الأمور، فأحكموا ... سياستها حتى أقرّت لمردف
وهذا، كما تراه، مذكّر مصروف، لا تأويل فيه لتأنيثه.
فإنه لو أنّث لقال: أركانها، فإن قيل هذا لا حجّة فيه لأن الوزن يقوم بالتأنيث، قيل قول امرئ القيس أيضا، لا يجوز لكم الاحتجاج به لأن الوزن يقوم بالتذكير، فيقول: أبى أجأ لكنّا صدّقناكم فاحتججنا، ولا تأويل فيها، وقول الحيص بيص:
أجأ وسلمى أم بلاد الزاب، ... وأبو المظفّر أم غضنفر غاب
ثم إني وقفت بعد ما سطرته آنفا، على جامع شعر امرئ القيس، وقد نصّ الأصمعي على ما قلته، وهو: أن اجأ موضع، وهو أحد جبلي طيّء، والآخر سلمى. وإنما أراد أهل أجإ، كقول الله، عزّ وجل:
واسأل القرية، يريد أهل القرية، هذا لفظه بعينه. ثم وقفت على نسخة أخرى من جامع شعره، قيل فيه:
أرى أجأ لن يسلم العام جاره
ثم قال في تفسير الرواية الأولى: والمعنى أصحاب الجبل لم يسلموا جارهم. وقال أبو العرماس: حدثني أبو محمد أنّ أجأ سمّي برجل كان يقال له أجأ، وسمّيت سلمى بامرأة كان يقال لها سلمى، وكانا يلتقيان عند العوجاء، وهو جبل بين أجإ وسلمى، فسمّيت هذه الجبال بأسمائهم. ألا تراه قال: سمي أجأ برجل وسميت سلمى بامرأة، فأنّث المؤنث وذكّر المذكّر. وهذا إن شاء الله كاف في قطع حجاج من خالف وأراد الانتصار بالتقليد. وقد جاء أجا مقصورا غير مهموز في الشعر، وقد تقدّم له شاهد في البيتين اللذين على الفاء، قال العجّاج:
والأمر ما رامقته ملهوجا ... يضويك ما لم يج منه منضجا
فإن تصر ليلى بسلمى أو أجا، ... أو باللوى أو ذي حسا أو يأججا
وأما سبب نزول طيّء الجبلين، واختصاصهم بسكناهما دون غيرهم من العرب، فقد اختلفت الرّواة فيه. قال ابن الكلبي، وجماعة سواه: لما تفرق بنو سبا أيام سيل العرم سار جابر وحرملة ابنا أدد بن زيد بن الهميسع قلت: لا أعرف جابرا وحرملة وفوق كل ذي علم عليم، وتبعهما ابن أخيهما طيّء، واسمه جلهمة، قلت: وهذا أيضا لا أعرفه، لأن طيّئا عند ابن الكلبي، هو جلهمة بن أدد بن زيد بن يشجب بن عريب بن زيد بن كهلان. والحكاية عنه، وكان أبو عبيدة، قال زيد بن الهميسع: فساروا نحو تهامة وكانوا فيما بينها وبين اليمن، ثم وقع بين طيّء وعمومته ملاحاة ففارقهم وسار نحو الحجاز بأهله وماله وتتبّع مواقع القطر، فسمّي طيّئا لطيّه المنازل، وقيل إنه سمّي طيّئا لغير ذلك، وأوغل طيّء بأرض الحجاز، وكان له بعير يشرد في كل سنة عن إبله، ويغيب ثلاثة أشهر، ثم يعود إليه وقد عبل وسمن وآثار الخضرة بادية في شدقيه، فقال لابنه عمرو: تفقّد يا بنيّ هذا البعير فإذا شرد فاتبع أثره حتى تنظر إلى أين ينتهي. فلما كانت أيام الربيع وشرد البعير تبعه على ناقة له فلم يزل يقفر أثره حتى صار إلى جبل طيء، فأقام هنالك ونظر عمرو إلى بلاد واسعة كثيرة المياه والشجر والنخيل والريف، فرجع إلى أبيه وأخبره بذلك فسار طيء بإبله وولده حتى نزل الجبلين فرآهما أرضا لها شأن، ورأى فيها شيخا عظيما، جسيما، مديد القامة، على خلق العاديّين ومعه امرأة على خلقه يقال لها سلمى، وهي امرأته وقد اقتسما الجبلين بينهما بنصفين، فأجأ في أحد النصفين وسلمى في الآخر، فسألهما طيء عن أمرهما، فقال الشيخ: نحن من بقايا صحار غنينا بهذين الجبلين عصرا بعد عصر، أفنانا كرّ الليل والنهار، فقال له طيء:
هل لك في مشاركتي إياك في هذا المكان فأكون لك مؤنسا وخلّا؟ فقال الشيخ: إنّ لي في ذلك رأيا فأقم فإن المكان واسع، والشجر يانع، والماء طاهر، والكلأ غامر. فأقام معه طيء بإبله وولده بالجبلين، فلم يلبث الشيخ والعجوز إلا قليلا حتى هلكا وخلص المكان لطي فولده به إلى هذه الغاية.
قالوا: وسألت العجوز طيّئا ممّن هو، فقال طيء:
إنّا من القوم اليمانيّينا ... إن كنت عن ذلك تسألينا
وقد ضربنا في البلاد حينا ... ثمّت أقبلنا مهاجرينا
إذ سامنا الضّيم بنو أبينا ... وقد وقعنا اليوم فيما شينا
ريفا وماء واسعا معينا
ويقال إن لغة طيء هي لغة هذا الشيخ الصّحاري والعجوز امرأته. وقال أبو المنذر هشام بن محمد في كتاب افتراق العرب: لما خرجت طيء من أرضهم من الشحر ونزلوا بالجبلين، أجإ وسلمى، ولم يكن بهما أحد وإذا التمر قد غطّى كرانيف النخل، فزعموا أن الجنّ كانت تلقّح لهم النخل في ذلك الزمان، وكان في ذلك التمر خنافس، فأقبلوا يأكلون التمر والخنافس، فجعل بعضهم يقول: ويلكم الميّث أطيب من الحيّ. وقال أبو محمد الأعرابي أكتبنا أبو الندى قال: بينما طيء ذات يوم جالس مع ولده بالجبلين إذ أقبل رجل من بقايا جديس، ممتدّ القامة، عاري الجبلّة، كاد يسدّ الأفق طولا، ويفرعهم باعا، وإذا هو الأسود بن غفار بن الصّبور الجديسي،
وكان قد نجا من حسّان تبّع اليمامة ولحق بالجبلين، فقال لطي: من أدخلكم بلادي وإرثي عن آبائي؟
اخرجوا عنها وإلا فعلت وفعلت. فقال طيء:
البلاد بلادنا وملكنا وفي أيدينا، وإنما ادّعيتها حيث وجدتها خلاء. فقال الأسود: اضربوا بيننا وبينكم وقتا نقتتل فيه فأيّنا غلب استحقّ البلد. فاتّعدا لوقت، فقال طيء لجندب بن خارجة بن سعد بن فطرة بن طيء وأمّه جديلة بنت سبيع بن عمرو ابن حمير وبها يعرفون، وهم جديلة طيء، وكان طيء لها مؤثرا، فقال لجندب: قاتل عن مكرمتك.
فقالت أمه: والله لتتركنّ بنيك وتعرضنّ ابني للقتل! فقال طيء: ويحك إنما خصصته بذلك.
فأبت، فقال طيء لعمرو بن الغوث بن طيء:
فعليك يا عمرو الرجل فقاتله. فقال عمرو: لا أفعل، وأنشأ يقول وهو أول من قال الشعر في طيء بعد طيء:
يا طيء أخبرني، ولست بكاذب، ... وأخوك صادقك الذي لا يكذب
أمن القضيّة أن، إذا استغنيتم ... وأمنتم، فأنا البعيد الأجنب
وإذا الشدائد بالشدائد مرّة، ... أشجتكم، فأنا الحبيب الأقرب
عجبا لتلك قضيّتي، وإقامتي ... فيكم، على تلك القضيّة، أعجب
ألكم معا طيب البلاد ورعيها، ... ولي الثّماد ورعيهنّ المجدب
وإذا تكون كريهة أدعى لها، ... وإذا يحاس الحيس يدعى جندب
هذا لعمركم الصّغار بعينه، ... لا أمّ لي، إن كان ذاك، ولا أب
فقال طيء: يا بنيّ إنها أكرم دار في العرب. فقال عمرو: لن أفعل إلا على شرط أن لا يكون لبني جديلة في الجبلين نصيب. فقال له طيء: لك شرطك.
فأقبل الأسود بن غفار الجديسي للميعاد ومعه قوس من حديد ونشّاب من حديد فقال: يا عمرو إن شئت صارعتك وإن شئت ناضلتك وإلا سايفتك.
فقال عمرو: الصّراع أحبّ إليّ فاكسر قوسك لأكسرها أيضا ونصطرع. وكانت لعمرو بن الغوث ابن طيء قوس موصولة بزرافين إذا شاء شدّها وإذا شاء خلعها، فأهوى بها عمرو فانفتحت عن الزرافين واعترض الأسود بقوسه ونشّابه فكسرها، فلما رأى عمرو ذلك أخذ قوسه فركّبها وأوترها وناداه: يا أسود استعن بقوسك فالرمي أحبّ إليّ. فقال الأسود: خدعتني. فقال عمرو: الحرب خدعة، فصارت مثلا، فرماه عمرو ففلق قلبه وخلص الجبلان لطي، فنزلهما بنو الغوث، ونزلت جديلة السهل منهما لذلك. قال عبيد الله الفقير إليه:
في هذا الخبر نظر من وجوه، منها أن جندبا هو الرابع من ولد طيء فكيف يكون رجلا يصلح لمثل هذا الأمر؟ ثم الشعر الذي أنشده وزعم أنه لعمرو ابن الغوث، وقد رواه أبو اليقظان وأحمد بن يحيى ثعلب وغيرهما من الرّواة الثقات لهانىء بن أحمر الكناني شاعر جاهليّ. ثم كيف تكون القوس حديدا وهي لا تنفذ السّهم إلّا برجوعها؟ والحديد إذا اعوجّ لا يرجع البتّة. ثم كيف يصحّ في العقل أن قوسا بزرافين؟
هذا بعيد في العقل إلى غير ذلك من النظر. وقد روى بعض أهل السير من خبر الأسود بن غفار ما هو أقرب إلى القبول من هذا، وهو أنّ الأسود لما أفلت
من حسّان تبّع، كما نذكره إن شاء الله تعالى في خبر اليمامة، أفضى به الهرب حتى لحق بالجبلين قبل أن ينزلهما طيء، وكانت طيء تنزل الجوف من أرض اليمن، وهي اليوم محلّة همدان ومراد، وكان سيّدهم يومئذ أسامة بن لؤي بن الغوث بن طيء وكان الوادي مسبعة وهم قليل عددهم فجعل ينتابهم بعير في زمن الخريف يضرب في إبلهم، ولا يدرون أين يذهب، إلا أنهم لا يرونه إلى قابل، وكانت الأزد قد خرجت من اليمن أيام سيل العرم فاستوحشت طيء لذلك وقالت: قد ظعن إخواننا وساروا إلى الأرياف، فلما همّوا بالظعن، قالوا لأسامة: إن هذا البعير الذي يأتينا إنما يأتينا من بلد ريف وخصب وإنا لنرى في بعره النّوى، فلو إنا نتعهده عند انصرافه فشخصنا معه لعلنا نصيب مكانا خيرا من مكاننا. فلما كان الخريف جاء البعير فضرب في إبلهم، فلما انصرف تبعه أسامة بن لؤي بن الغوث وحبّة بن الحارث بن فطرة بن طيء فجعلا يسيران بسير الجمل وينزلان بنزوله، حتى أدخلهما باب أجإ، فوقفا من الخصب والخير على ما أعجبهما، فرجعا إلى قومهما فأخبراهم به فارتحلت طيء بجملتها إلى الجبلين، وجعل أسامة بن لؤي يقول:
اجعل ظريبا كحبيب ينسى، ... لكلّ قوم مصبح وممسى
وظريب اسم الموضع الذي كانوا ينزلون فيه قبل الجبلين، قال فهجمت طيء على النخل بالشّعاب على مواش كثيرة، وإذا هم برجل في شعب من تلك الشعاب وهو الأسود بن غفار، فهالهم ما رأوا من عظم خلقه وتخوّفوه، فنزلوا ناحية من الأرض فاستبرؤوها فلم يروا بها أحدا غيره. فقال أسامة بن لؤي لابن له يقال له الغوث: يا بنيّ إن قومك قد عرفوا فضلك في الجلد والبأس والرّمي، فاكفنا أمر هذا الرجل، فإن كفيتنا أمره فقد سدت قومك آخر الدهر، وكنت الذي أنزلتنا هذا البلد. فانطلق الغوث حتى أتى الرجل، فسأله، فعجب الأسود من صغر خلق الغوث، فقال له:
من أين أقبلتم؟ فقال له: من اليمن. وأخبره خبر البعير ومجيئهم معه، وأنهم رهبوا ما رأوا من عظم خلقه وصغرهم عنه، فأخبرهم باسمه ونسبه. ثم شغله الغوث ورماه بسهم فقتله، وأقامت طيء بالجبلين وهم بهما إلى الآن. وأما أسامة بن لؤي وابنه الغوث هذا فدرجا ولا عقب لهما.
