(L.) You say, سَمَحَ بِهِ, (S, A, Msb,) aor. ـَ inf. n. سَمَاحٌ and سَمَاحَةٌ (S, * A, * Msb) and سُمُوحٌ, (Msb,) He was liberal, bountiful, munificent, or generous, with it; (S, A, Msb;) and gave it; and complied therein with that which was desired of him; as also ↓ اسمح. (Msb.) [And سَمَحَ لَهُ He was liberal, &c., to him; as also ↓ اسمح; whence,] God is represented, in a trad., as saying, لِعَبْدِى ↓ أَسْمِحُوا كَإِسْمَاحِهِ إِلَى عِبَادِى Be ye liberal, &c., to my servant, [meaning Mohammad,] like as he is liberal, &c., to my servants. (L.) And سَمَحَ لِى, (S,) or لَهُ, (A,) He gave (S, A) to me, (S,) or to him: (A:) and بِكَذَا ↓ سَامَحَهُ he gave him such a thing. (Msb.) And سَمَحَ لِى بِذٰلِكَ, and ↓ اسمح, and ↓ سامح, He complied with my desire in that thing. (L: see also a similar phrase below.) b2: سَمَحَتْ, said of a she-camel, means She became submissive, and went quickly: (L:) and ↓ اسمحت said of a beast (دَابَّة), it became gentle and submissive after being refractory: (L, K: *) and in like manner ↓ اسمح; (A;) and ↓ سمّح, inf. n. تَسْمِيحٌ; (L;) said of a camel: (A, L:) or تَسْمِيحٌ signifies the going an easy pace: (S, L, K:) and the going quickly: (L, K:) or (so in the L, but in the K “ and ”) the act of fleeing. (L, K.) And ↓ اسمح It became easy and submissive. (L.) You say, قَرُونَتُهُ ↓ أَسْمَحَتْ, (S, A, K,) and قَرِينَتُهُ, as also ↓ سَامَحَتْ, (L,) His mind became submissive, (S, A, L, K,) لِذٰلِكَ الأَمْرِ to that thing. (L.) b3: سَمَحَ, inf. n. سَمَاحٌ; (L;) and ↓ سمّح, (Mgh, L,) inf. n. تَسْمِيحٌ; (L, K;) and ↓ سامح, (Mgh, L,) inf. n. مُسَامَحَةٌ; (S, A, L, K;) and ↓ اسمح, (Mgh,) and ↓ تسمّح; (L;) also signify He acted in an easy, or a gentle, manner; (S, A, Mgh, L, K;) and he made easy, or facilitated; (L;) فِى أَمْرٍ in an affair: (Mgh, L:) and ↓ مُسَامَحَةٌ signifies the acting in an easy, or a gentle, manner in a contest in thrusting, or piercing, with spears or the like, and smiting with swords, and running. (L.) It is said in a well-known trad., السَّمَاحُ رَبَاحٌ The acting in an easy, or a gentle, manner, in affairs, is a means of gain, or profit, to the performer thereof. (L.) And you say, فِى الأَمْرِ ↓ سامحهُ He acted in an easy, or a gentle, manner with him. (TK.) And سَمَحَ لَهُ and بِهِ, and ↓ اسمح, He made [a thing] easy to him. (L.) And اِسْمَحْ يُسْمَحْ لَكَ (Meyd, Mgh, L) and بِكَ, (L,) and يُسْمَحْ لَكَ ↓ أَسْمِحْ (Meyd, L) and بِكَ, (L,) a trad., (Mgh, L,) meaning Facilitate thou, and facilitation shall be rendered to thee: (As, Sh, L:) or act thou in an easy, or a gentle, manner, and easy, or gentle, treatment, shall be rendered to thee: (Mgh:) or be thou compliant, and compliance shall be rendered to thee. (Meyd.) And سَمَحَ لَهُ بِحَاجَتِهِ, and ↓ اسمح, He made easy to him the object of his want. (IAar, L: see also a similar phrase above.) b4: سَمَاحَةٌ (A, TA) and سُمُوحَةٌ, (TA,) [app. inf. ns. of which the verb is سَمُحَ,] in a branch, or rod, signify (tropical:) The being even and smooth, without any knots [or inequality of thickness: see سَمْحٌ]. (A, TA.) 2 سَمَّحَ see 1, in two places. b2: تَسْمِيحُ الرُّمْحِ means (assumed tropical:) The straightening, or making even, of the spear, (S, K, TA,) so as to render it smooth. (TA. [See 1, last sentence.]) 3 سَاْمَحَ see 1, in six places.4 أَسْمَحَ see 1, in all but four sentences.5 تَسَمَّحَ see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph: b2: and see also the paragraph here following, in two places.6 تسامحوا They acted in an easy, or a gentle, manner, one with another. (S, A, K.) b2: [Hence]

تَسَامُحٌ [as a conventional term in lexicology, or in relation to language,] is [A careless, or defective, manner of expression,] when the meaning of a sentence is not known, and, in order to its being understood, requires another word or phrase to be supplied: (KT:) [or the using a careless mode of expression, relying upon the understanding of the reader or hearer; as also ↓ تَسَمُّحٌ: or] a deficiency in what a speaker says, relying upon [the knowledge of] the person addressed. (Marginal note in a copy of the KT, subsigned سمع [app. to denote that the authority is Isma'eel Hakkee].) [See also تَسَاهُلٌ, which is often used as though it were syn. with تَسَامُحٌ.] b3: The primary meaning of تَسَامُحٌ and ↓ تَسَمُّحٌ is [said to be] The being wide, or ample: whence the phrase فِى الحَقِّ مَسْمَحٌ [expl. below]. (Msb.) 7 السمح [app. syn. with أَسْمَحَ, or perhaps a mistranscription for the latter word]: see اِنْسَجَحَ.

سَمْحٌ (T, S, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ سَمِحٌ, of which the former is a contraction, (Msb,) [but which is seldom used,] as also ↓ سَمِيحٌ and [in an intensive sense] ↓ مِسْمَحٌ (T, M, TA) and ↓ مِسْمَاحٌ (T, S, * M, A, * K, * TA) [and ↓ سَمُوحٌ, occurring in the K voce نَعُوسٌ, the last three fem. as well as masc.], Liberal, bountiful, munificent, or generous: (T, S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K, TA:) fem. سَمْحَةٌ: (T, S, M, A, K:) pl. سِمَاحٌ, (Th, T, S, M, A, Msb, K,) applied to women (Th, S, Msb, K) only, (Th, S, K,) or to men and to women, (T, M, TA,) and سُمَحَآءُ, (T, S, M, A, Msb, K,) applied to a party of people, (S, A,) [i. e.] to men and to women, (T, M, TA,) as though pl. of سَمِيحٌ, (S, K,) and مَسَامِيحُ, (T, S, M, A, K,) applied to men and to women, (T, M, A, *) pl. of مِسْمَاحٌ, (A,) or as though pl. of مِسْمَاحٌ. (S, K.) The dim. of سَمْحٌ is ↓ سُمَيْحٌ and ↓ سُمَيِّحٌ; (K;) but the latter is by some disallowed. (TA.) You say also, فُلَانٌ سَمْحٌ لَمْحٌ and لَمِيحٌ ↓ سَمِيحٌ [app. meaning Such a one is very liberal, &c.; for in each case the latter epithet is probably an imitative sequent, and therefore a corroborative]. (L.) b2: دَابَّةٌ سَمْحَةٌ [A beast that is submissive, or easy, or gentle: and probably also quick: see 1]. (A, voce جَمْحَةٌ, q. v.) b3: [Hence, app.,] سَمْحَةُ is the name of A mare of Jaafar the son of Aboo-Tálib. (K. [See also سَبْحَة.]) b4: And أُمُّ سَمْحَةَ The she-goat.

(TA.) b7: And مِلَّةٌ سَمْحَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A religion in which is no straitness (K, TA) nor difficulty. (TA.) b8: The saying of 'Omar Ibn-'AbdEl-'Azeez أَذِّنْ أَذَانًا سَمْحًا means (assumed tropical:) [Recite thou a call to prayer] without a prolonging of the voice, and trilling, and without modulation. (Mgh.) سَمِحٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

سِمَاحٌ Tents (بُيُوت) made of skins. (Ibn-ElFaraj, K.) سَمُوحٌ: see سَمْحٌ, first sentence.

مدح

1 مَدَحَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. مَدْحٌ (S, K) and مِدْحَةٌ, (K,) as some say, but correctly this latter is a simple subst.; (TA;) and ↓ امتدحهُ; (S, K;) and ↓ مدّحهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَمْدِيح; (TA;) [but this, and that next preceding it, have an intensive signification, as is shown by the explanation of their pass. part. ns., which see below;] and ↓ تمدّحهُ; (K:) [which seems to imply some degree of effort in the agent;] He praised, eulogized, or commended, him; spoke well of him; mentioned him with approbation: (S, K:) or he described him as characterized by goodliness, beauty, or elegance; opposite of ذَمَّهُ: and he enumerated his generous qualities or actions; opposite of هَجَاهُ: (MF:) or he praised him for his goodly qualities, whether natural or depending upon his own will; and hence it is of more common application than حَمَدَهُ: accord. to El-Khateeb El-Tebreezee, it is from the phrase تَمَدَّحَتِ الأَرْضُ “ the land became ample, or spacious; ” whence it would seem to signify he amplified his phrase: accord. to Kh, مَدَحَهُ relates to an absent person; and مَدَهَهُ, to one who is present: and accord. to EsSarakustee, مَدْهٌ is descriptive of the state, or condition, and external appearance or form; and of nothing beside. (Msb.) 2 مَدَّحَ see 1.3 مادحهُ He praised, eulogized, or commended, him reciprocally. (A.) 5 تمدّح He affected (تَكَلَّفَ) to be praised, eulogized, or commended; endeavoured, or constrained himself, to gain praise, eulogy, or commendation.

(A.) b5: See 1. b6: تَمَدَّحَتِ الخَاصِرَةُ, (S, K,) and ↓ امتدحت, and ↓ إِمَّدَحَت [originally إِنْمدَحَت], (K,) The hypochondre, or flank, became distended, expanded, or dilated, (S, K,) by reason of satiety; like تندّحت: occurring in this sense in a verse of Er-Rá'ee, as some relate it; as others relate it, it is تمذّحت. (S.) b7: بَطْنُهُ ↓ امدحّ His belly became wide, or distended; a dial. form of اندحّ. (S.) This, says F, is a mistake; but it is no mistake; and he has perverted the words of J, which are confirmed by Sgh and the author of the L and many others. (MF.) b8: Also تمدّحت الأَرْضُ, and امتدحت, and ↓ امّدحت (K) and ↓ انمدحت, (TA,) The land became ample, or spacious. (K.) The first and second are formed by substitution of م for ن from تندحت and انتدّحت. (L.) 6 تمادحوا They praised, eulogized, or commended, one another. (A.) التَّمَادُحُ التَّذَابُحُ Praising one another is slaughtering one another. (S, art. ذبح, A.) 7 إِنْمَدَحَ 8, and 9. See 5 and 1.

(K, A.) مَدِيحٌ: see مِدْحَةٌ.

مَدَّاحٌ [One who praises, &c., much, or often; a habitual praiser, &c.] (TA in art. حثو; &c. See an ex. voce حَثَا.) مَادِحٌ Praising, eulogizing, or commending; or a praiser, eulogizer, or commender: pl. مَدَّحٌ. (TA.) مَمَادِحُ Praiseworthy, commendable, or good, qualities or dispositions, &c.; contr of مَقَابِحُ. (L, art. قبح.) أُمْدُوحَةٌ: see مِدْحَةٌ.

مُمَدَّحٌ A man much, or greatly praised; (S, K;) as also ↓ مُمْتَدَحٌ: (TA:) praised by every tongue. (A.) مُمْتَدَحٌ: see مُمَدَّحٌ.

(Msb.) And hence, (Mgh,) اِقْطَعُوهُ ثُمَّ احْسِمُوهُ, (S, Mgh,) or اِقْطَعُوا يَدَهُ ثُمَّ اكْوُوهَا [Cut ye off his hand, then cauterize it], (S, * Mgh, * TA,) in order that the blood may stop. (S, Mgh, TA.) You say also, حَسَمْتُ الدَّابَّةَ, meaning I cauterized the beast by successive operations. (Bd in lxix. 7.) b3: [Hence, also,] حَسَمَ الدَّآءَ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He stopped the disease by a remedy. (K.) and حَسَمَتْهُ أُمُّهُ الرِّضَاعَ, and الغِذَآءَ, His mother stopped his sucking, and his food: (TA:) and حُسِمَ رِضَاعُهُ [His sucking was stopped]; (K;) said of a child. (TA.) And حَسَمَ فُلَانًا الشَّىْءَ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He prevented such a one from attaining the thing. (K.) And أَنَا أَحْسِمُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ

الأَمْرَ I cut off from him the thing, so that he cannot attain aught thereof. (TA.) See also حُسُومٌ, below. b4: You say also, حَسَمَهُمْ, aor. ـِ inf. n. حُسُومٌ, It caused them to pass away, come to an end, cease, perish, or come to nought. (Zj, TA.) See, again, حُسُومٌ, below.

A2: حَسَمَ فِى

العَمَلِ, (TK,) inf. n. حُسُومٌ, (Yoo, K,) He strove, laboured, toiled, or exerted himself, and wearied himself, in work. (Yoo, K, TK.) 7 انحسم It was, or became, cut, or cut off: (S, Msb, K:) [or it was, or became, cut off entirely: see 1, of which it is the quasi-pass.]

حُسُامٌ A sword; because it cuts that upon which it comes: (Msb:) or a sharp sword; (S, K, TA;) and in the same sense applied to a [knife such as is termed] مُدْيَة: (TA:) and (so in the S, but in the K “ or ”) the edge of a sword, with which one strikes. (S, K.) b2: لَيْلَةٌ حُسَامٌ A lasting night: (K:) or a night of lasting evil, especially. (TA.) حُسُومٌ Unluckiness, or inauspiciousness. (S, * K, * TA.) Some explain it thus in the passage here following. (S, * TA.) b2: سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالِ وَ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا, in the Kur lxix. 7, means He sent it (the wind) upon them by force, (Jel,) or made it to prevail against them by his power, (Bd,) [seven nights and eight days] consecutively; (T, S, Bd, K, Jel;) an expression taken from the repetition of the act of cauterization, (T, Bd, Jel.) i. e. the act of the ↓ حَاسِم; (Jel;) whence this word (حاسم) is applied to anything made consecutive; (T, TA;) and حُسُومٌ is its pl.: (T, Bd, TA:) or حُسُومٌ signifies the making consecutive. and, as an epithet, consecutive, and continuous from first to last: (Fr, TA:) or, accord. to some, الأَيَّامُ الحُسُومٌ means the days that are consecutive with evil especially; and such ISd thinks to be the meaning: (TA:) or اللَّيَالِى الحُسُومُ means the nights that cut off good, or prosperity, (↓ تَحّسِمُ الخَيْرَ,) from their people: (S, * K: [and the like is said by Bd in lxix. 7:]) or حُسُومًا in the Kur means causing them to pass away, come to an end, cease, perish, or come to nought: (Zj, T:) or it may be an inf. n., meaning for the purpose of cutting off: or an inf. n. of a verb meant to be understood, as a denotative of state; i. e. ↓ تَحْسِمُهُمْ حُسُومًا [agreeably with the explanation of Zj]; and this is confirmed by the reading with fet-h [i. e. حَسُومًا, though this is a very rare form of inf. n.]: (Bd:) you say أَيَّامٌ حُسُومٌ, (K,) in which case the latter word is an inf. n. used as an epithet, meaning cutting off, or preventing, good, or prosperity; (TA;) and أَيَّامُ حُسُومٍ, which has a similar meaning. (K, TA.) حَاسِمٌ; pl. حُسُومٌ: see this latter word.

مَحْسَمَةٌ A cause, or means, of cutting off, or stopping; (T, K, TA;) syn. مَقْطَعَةٌ. (T, TA.) So in the saying, هٰذَا مَحْسَمَةٌ لِلدَّآءِ This is a cause, or means, of cutting off, or stopping, the disease. (K, * TA.) And hence, (TA,) عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ مَحْسَمَةٌ لِلْعِرْقِ وَ مَذْهَبَةٌ لِلْأَشَرِ, a trad., (T, S, TA,) meaning [Keep ye to fasting, for it is] a cause, or means, of stopping venereal intercourse, [and a cause, or means, of dispelling exultation, or excessive exultation, and resting the mind upon things agreeable with natural desire:] (TA:) or an impediment to venery, and a cause of diminishing the seminal fluid, and of stopping venereal intercourse or passion, &c. (T, TA.) مَحْسُومٌ A child (TA) whose sucking is stopped: (K, TA:) and whose food is stopped. (TA.) and A child badly fed. (S, K.) Hence the prov., وَلْغُ جُرَىٍّ كَانَ مَحْسُومًا [The lapping of a little puppy that had been badly fed]: said on the occasion of a greedy person's taking much of a thing that he had not been able to obtain, and that he had became able to obtain; or in ordering one to take much when able. (TA. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 817; where another reading is given, namely, مَحْشُومًا in the place of مَحْسُومًا, as well as the reading here given.])
