عجب

1 عَجِبَ مِنْهُ, (S, O, Msb, K,) [and لَهُ, as shown by what follows,] aor. ـَ inf. n. عَجَبٌ; (Msb, TA;) and منه ↓ تعجّب, and ↓ استعجب منه, (S, O, Msb, K,) which two are syn. each with the other, (S, O, K,) and with the first also; (S, K;) all signify He wondered at it; i. e. he deemed it strange, extraordinary, or improbable, said of a thing occurring, or presenting itself, to him; (K, TA;) on account of his being little accustomed to it: (TA:) or the first signifies [as above, i. e.] he deemed it strange, extraordinary, or improbable: and ↓ تَعَجُّبٌ is of two kinds; one is [the wondering] at a thing which one commends, and it means the accounting (a thing) good or goodly, or approving [it], and expressing one's approval of a thing; and the other is at a thing that one dislikes, and it means the deeming [a thing] strange, extraordinary, or improbable, and discommending [it]: (Msb:) or, accord. to some of the grammarians, it signifies the mind's becoming affected, or acted upon, by some excessive quality in the thing by which it is so affected; [so that it may be rendered the becoming affected with wonder;] as when one says مَا أَشْجَعَهُ [“ how courageous is he! ”] and أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ [“ how clearly shall they hear! and how clearly shall they see! ”]: (Msb, MF, TA:) or it is [the wondering] at a thing of which the cause, or reason, is hidden, and not known: or it is when one sees a thing that pleases him, and thinks that he has not seen the like of it: (L, TA:) [therefore تَعَجَّبَ مِنْهُ may be rendered he wondered at it, and he admired it:] accord. to some, it peculiarly relates to what is deemed good or goodly, or approved; [though this is inconsistent with the application of the grammatical term فِعْلُ التَّعَجُّبِ the verb of wonder;] and the subst. derived from it is ↓ عَجْبٌ: and ↓ استعجب relates to what is good or goodly or approved, and to what is otherwise; and the subst. is ↓ عَجَبٌ [which is also the inf. n. of عَجِبَ]: or accord. to the A and L, ↓ استعجب signifies he wondered at a thing intensely; or became affected with intense wonder. (TA.) b2: [عَجَبًا لِهٰذَا, a phrase of common occurrence, (mentioned in the K voce وَيْبٌ, &c.,) is for أَعْجَبُ عَجَبًا لِهٰذَا I wonder greatly, lit. with wondering, at this. See also an ex. voce عَجَبٌ, last sentence but two.] b3: Of the words in the Kur xxxvii. 12, there are two readings, بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ and بل عَجِبْتُ ويسخرون: accord. to the former, the meaning is, Nay, thou wonderest at their conduct, or deemest it extraordinary, [O Mohammad,] and they mock: respecting the latter reading, [which may be rendered Nay, I wonder, &c.,] it is observed that عَجَبٌ when attributed to God has a meaning different from that which it has when attributed to men: IAth says that, when attributed to God, it is used in a tropical manner, as the causes of things are not hidden from Him: or, accord. to IAmb, the verb here meams I have recompensed them for their wondering at the truth, or their deeming it strange or improbable: and in like manner it is said [in the Kur viii. 30], يَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللّٰهُ [lit. “ They plot and God plotteth ”], meaning, “God recompenseth them for their plotting. ” (L, TA.) b4: It is also said that عَجَبٌ when attributed to God [sometimes] means The being well pleased, content, or satisfied. (K, TA.) The saying, in a trad., عَجِبَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُقَادُونَ

إِلَى الجَنَّة فِى السَّلَاسِلِ means Thy Lord wonders at a people who will be led to Paradise in chains [because of their deeming themselves unworthy thereof]; the verb عجب being here used in a tropical sense: or the meaning is, thy Lord is well pleased with, and will reward, a people &c.: and there are other trads. of the same kind. (L, TA.) b5: عَجِبَ إِلَيْهِ means He loved, or liked, him, or it. (L, TA.) [See a verse cited voce عَجِيبٌ; from which it seems to signify lit. He, or it, was an object of love to him.]

A2: عَجِبَتْ, inf. n. عَجَبٌ; and عَجُبَتْ; said of a she-camel, She was, or became, such as is termed عَجْبَآء (TA.) 2 عجّبهُ, inf. n. تَعْجِيبٌ, He caused him to wonder, (S, O, K, TA,) بِالشَّىْءِ [by the thing]. (TA. [See also 4.]) 4 اعجبهُ It (a thing, or an affair, or event, TA) induced, or excited, him to wonder. (K, TA. [See also 2.]) In the following saying of Ibn-Keys-er-Rukeiyát, رَأَتْ فِى الرَّأْسِ مِنِّى شَيْبَةً لَسْتُ أُغَيِّبُهَا فَقَالَتْ لِى ابْنُ قَيْسٍ ذَا وَبَعْضُ الشَّيْبِ يُعْجِبُهَا the meaning is, [She saw upon my head some hoariness, which I did not hide; and she said to me, “Is this Ibn-Keys? ” somewhat of hoariness] causing her to have wonder. (TA.) b2: And It (a thing, or an affair, or event, TA) induced in him wonder, or admiration, and pleasure, or joy: (K:) or it excited his admiration, or approval: (Msb:) or it pleased, or rejoiced, him. (TA.) You say, أَعْجَبَنِى هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ لِحُسْنِهِ [This thing has excited my admiration, or approval, or has pleased me, for its goodness, or goodliness, or beauty]. (S, O.) And أَعْجَبَنِى حُسْنُهُ [Its goodness, or goodliness, or beauty, excited my admiration, &c.]. (Msb.) b3: And أُعْجِبَ بِهِ He was excited to wonder, or admiration, and pleasure, or joy, by it; he admired it, and was pleased with it, or rejoiced by it. (K.) You say, أُعْجِبَ بِنَفْسِهِ, (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. إِعْجَابٌ, [which is often used as syn. with عُجْبٌ, the corresponding subst.,] (O,) [He admired himself, (lit. was excited to admiration by himself,) was pleased with himself, or was self-conceited, or vain; or] he exalted, and magnified, himself; was haughty, and proud. (Msb.) b4: [مَا أَعْجَبَهُ generally signifies How wonderful is it!] b5: مَا أَعْجَبَهُ بِرَأْيِهِ [How greatly does he admire his opinion or judgment! or how greatly is he pleased with it! or how conceited, or vain, or proud, is he of it!] is anomalous [in two respects], (S, O, K,) not to be taken as an example to be imitated; (S, O;) for the verb here is formed from a passive [and augmented] verb [أُعْجِبَ], like as is the case in مَا أَشْغَلَهُ; whereas it is the primary rule with respect to the verb of wonder that it shall not be formed from any but an active [and unaugmented] verb. (TA.) 5 تَعَجَّبَ see 1, in two places. b2: One says also, تعجّب فِى مِشْيَتِهِ [app. meaning He showed عُجْب, i. e. self-admiration, &c., in his gait]. (TA voce تَفَخَّتَ.) A2: تَعَجَّبَنِى signifies تَصَبَّانِى

[He excited my desire, and invited me, or made me to incline, to ignorant, or foolish, or silly, and youthful, conduct, so that I yearned towards him: or he deceived me, or beguiled me, and captivated my heart]; (O, K, TA;) said of a man: (O, TA:) and تَفَتَّنَنِى [in the O تَفَتَّتَنِى, which I think a mistranscription, though I do not find تَفَتَّنَ elsewhere in the sense here assigned to it,] signifies the same. (TA.) 10 إِسْتَعْجَبَ see 1, in three places.

عَجْبٌ: see عَجَبٌ, in two places: A2: and see also عُجْبٌ.

A3: Also The root, or base, of the tail: (S, O, K:) or the part of the root, or base, of the tail, of any beast, which the haunch encloses, (Msb, TA,) and which is inserted in the hinder part of the rump: (TA:) or the root, or base, and bone, of the tail: (Lh, TA:) also called the عُصْعُص [q. v.]: (Msb, TA:) or it is the head of the عُصْعُص: (TA:) or the upper part of the عُصْعُص: or the external extremity of the spine; and the عُصْعُص is its internal extremity: (Az, L voce قُحْقُحٌ:) it is said in a trad., that every part of a man will become consumed, except the عَجْب, (TA,) or the عَجْب of the tail, (O, TA,) accord. to different relations; (TA;) from which [as a rudiment] he was created, and upon which he will [at the resurrection] be put together: (O:) i. e. the bone at the lower, or lowest, part of the spine, at the rump; which is the عَسِيب of beasts: it is said to be like a grain of mustard-seed: or, as Z says in the “ Fáïk,” it is the bone that is between the buttocks: it is also pronounced ↓ عُجْبٌ; and accord. to MF, ↓ عِجْبٌ, but no one else says this: and, as El-Khafájee says, it is also called عَجْمٌ and عُجْمٌ and عِجْمٌ, in this case with the three vowel-sounds. (TA.) b2: Also (tropical:) The hinder part (S, O, K, TA) of a tract of sand, (S, O,) or of anything: (K, TA:) and hence, عَجْبُ كَثِيبٍ i. e. the thin hinder portion [of a sand-hill, or of an extended and gibbous sand-hill, or of a collection of sand that has poured down]: (TA:) pl. عُجُوبٌ, (S, O,) and perhaps أَعْجَابٌ also in the former sense [and therefore in this likewise]. (TA.) عُجْبٌ: see عَجَبٌ. b2: Also a subst. from the phrase أُعْجِبَ بِنَفْسِهِ, (S,) or from الإِعْجَابُ; (O;) [i. e. it signifies Self-admiration; or selfconceitedness; or] vanity; and pride: (K:) it is said to be [a result, or an offspring, of stupidity, or folly; or] a redundance of stupidity, or folly, which one has turned to what is thus termed. (TA.) [Er-Rághib makes a distinction between عُجْبٌ and تِيهٌ; as will be seen below, voce مُعْجَبٌ.]

A2: Also, and ↓ عَجْبٌ, and ↓ عِجْبٌ, A man who is pleased to sit with women, (O, K,) and to converse with them, without his doing what induces doubt, or suspicion, or evil opinion: (O:) or with whom women are pleased: (K, TA:) the pl. is perhaps أَعْجَابٌ. (TA.) A3: See also عَجْبٌ.

عِجْبٌ: see عُجْبٌ: A2: and see also عَجْبٌ.

عَجَبٌ [originally an int. n.] (S, O, K) and ↓ عُجْبٌ, (accord. to the K,) or ↓ عَجْبٌ, (accord. to the TA,) Wonder; i. e. a deeming strange, extraordinary, or improbable, what occurs, or presents itself, to one, (K, TA,) on account of being little accustomed to it; (TA;) or [the effect, upon the mind, of] the consideration of a thing with which one is not familiar, and to which one is not accustomed: (IAar, TA:) for a distinction between عَجَبٌ and ↓ عَجْبٌ, see 1, in the middle of the paragraph: the pl. of عَجَبٌ [in this sense] is [said to be] أَعْجَابٌ; (K;) or it has no pl.: (S, O, K:) [this statement correctly applies to عَجَبٌ as an epithet; for as such it is app. used as sing. and pl., being originally an inf. n.:] but El-'Ajjáj has pluralized it, [regarding it in the sense expl. above,] saying, ذَكَرْنَ أَشْجَابًا لِمَنْ تَشَجَّبَا وَهِجْنَ أَعْجَابًا لِمَنْ تَعَجَّبَا [They mentioned griefs to him who grieved, and they excited wonder to him who wondered]. (O.) يَا لَلْعَجَبِ [may be rendered O case of wonder! but properly] means O wonder come, for this is thy time: and يَا لِلْعَجَبِ [may also be rendered O case of wonder! but properly] means O [people, or the like, come] to wonder; the noun signifying the invoked being suppressed. (Har p. 27.) A2: It is also an epithet applied to a thing, an affair, an event, or a case; one says أَمْرٌ عَجَبٌ [A wonderful thing or affair &c.]; and so ↓ عَجِيبٌ [which is more common in this sense], and ↓ عُجَابٌ, and ↓ عُجَّابٌ: or ↓ عَجِيبٌ is syn. with عَجَبٌ; but ↓ عُجَابٌ signifies more than عَجَبٌ: (K:) or ↓ عُجَابٌ is syn. with ↓ عَجِيبٌ, (S, O,) which signifies a thing, (S, O, Msb,) or an affair, or event, or a case, (S, O,) wondered at; (S, O, Msb, TA;) or inducing wonder, or admiration, and pleasure, or joy; or pleasing, or rejoicing; syn. ↓ مُعْجِبٌ; (TA;) and ↓ عُجَّابٌ; signifies more than عَجَبٌ: (S, O, TA:) [it is said that] عَجَبٌ has no pl.; [app. meaning when it is used as an epithet, as observed above;] nor has ↓ عَجِيبٌ; (S, O, K;) or the pl. of this is عَجَائِبُ [respecting which see عَجِيبَةٌ]; (S, O, K;) like as أَفَائِلُ is pl. of أَفِيلٌ; and تَبَائِعُ, of تَبِيعٌ. (S, O.) [Being originally an inf. n., it is used alike as masc. and fem.:] one says قِصَّةٌ عَجَبٌ [meaning A wonderful story: and for the same reason, it may, as an epithet, be also used alike as sing. and pl.: like عَدْلٌ &c.]. (O.) b2: [It is also used as a subst. in a pl. sense, signifying Wonders, as meaning wonderful things; like the pl. عَجَائِبُ, &c.; and it may be similarly used in a sing. sense for شَىْءٌ عَجَبٌ or أَمْرٌ عَجَبٌ: but when used as a subst. in the pl. sense expl. above, it seems to be regarded by some as a coll. gen. n., of which ↓ عَجَبَةٌ is the n. un.; for] one says, مَا فُلَانٌ إِلَّا عَجَبَةٌ مِنَ العَجَبِ [Such a one is none other than a wonder of wonders]. (A, TA.) [Hence, also,] أَبُو العَجَبِ [lit. The father of wonders] is a surname of Fortune. (TA.) and it signifies also The practiser of legerdemain, or sleight-of-hand; syn. الشَّعْوَذِىُّ, (A, TA,) or المُشَعْوِذُ: (Eth-Tha'álibee, TA in شعذ:) and any one who does wonderful things. (A, TA.) And a poet says, يَا عَجَبًا لِلدَّهْرِ ذِى الأَعْجَابِ [for يَا أَعْجَبُ عَجَبًا O, I wonder greatly, lit. with wondering, at fortune that is ever attended with wonders]. (TA.) [See also عَجِيبَةٌ.]

A3: Also The quality, in a she-camel, that is denoted by the epithet عَجْبَآءُ [fem. of أَعْجَبُ, q. v.]; and so ↓ عُجْبَةٌ. (O.) عُجْبَةٌ: see the last preceding sentence.

عَجَبَةٌ: see عَجَبٌ, last quarter.

عُجَابٌ: see عَجَبٌ, in three places, near the middle of the paragraph: b2: and see also عَاجِبٌ.

عَجِيبٌ: see عَجَبٌ, in four places, near the middle of the paragraph. b2: Also Loved, beloved, or an object of love: so in the following verse, cited by Th: وَمَا البُخْلُ يَنْهَانِى وَلَا الجُودُ قَادَنِى

وَلٰكِنَّهَا ضَرْبٌ إِلَىَّ عَجِيبٌ [And neither does niggardliness forbid me nor liberality lead me; but she is a sort of person, to me, an object of love]: by قَادَنِى, the poet means يَقُودُنِى. (L, TA.) عَجِيبَةٌ (K) and ↓ أُعْجُوبَةٌ (S, O, K) A wonderful thing; a thing at which one wonders: (S, O, K: *) [the pl. of the former, accord. to modern usage, is عَجَائِبُ, mentioned above as pl. of عَجَبٌ: and]

أَعَاجِيبُ seems to be pl. of أُعْجُوبَةٌ, like as أَحَادِيثُ is pl. of أُحْدُوثَةُ: (S, O:) and ↓ تَعَاجِيبُ signifies wonderful things; syn. عَجَائِبُ; (S, O, K;) and is a word [of a rare form, (see تَبَاشِيرُ,)] having no proper sing., (S, O,) like تَعَاشِيبُ; (O;) erroneously thought by the author of the “ Námoos ”

[on the Kámoos] to be most probably a mistake for أَعَاجِيبُ: (TA:) a poet says, وَمَنْ تَعَاجِيبِ خَلْقِ اللّٰهِ غَاطِيَةٌ يُعْصَرُ مِنْهَا مُلَاحِىٌّ وَغِرْبِيبُ [And of the wonderful things of God's creation is a grape-vine covering the ground (so غَاطِيَةٌ is expl. by IB), whereof grapes of the kinds called ملاحىّ and غربيب are pressed for making wine]. (S, O.) عُجَّابٌ: see عَجَبٌ, near the middle of the paragraph, in two places.

عَجَبٌ عَاجِبٌ [meaning Very wonderful or admirable or pleasing] (S, O, K) is like لَيْلٌ لَائِلٌ, the latter word being a corroborative of the former; (S, O;) and one says also [in like manner] ↓ عَجَبٌ عُجَابٌ. (K.) أَعْجَبُ [More, and most, wonderful or admirable or pleasing]. b2: [And the fem.] عَجْبَآءُ signifies A female wondered at for her beauty: and also, for her ugliness. (O, K.) A2: Also, i. e. the former, A thick, or big, or coarse, camel. (O, K. *) and so the fem. applied to a she-camel: (O, K:) or, so applied, thick in the عَجْب [or root, &c.,] of the tail: (TA:) or whereof the hinder part, (O, K,) or the upper portion of that part, (L, TA,) is narrow, and whereof the جَاعِرَتَانِ [q. v.] are prominent: (O, L, K, TA:) the kind of make thus particularized is ugly. (TA.) أُعْجُوبَةٌ: see عَجِيبَةٌ.

رَجُلٌ تِعْجَابَةٌ A man of (lit. having, possessing, or endowed with,) wonders, or wonderful things. (O, K, TA.) تَعَاجِيبُ, a pl. without a sing.: see عَجِيبَةٌ.

مُعْجَبٌ بِنَفْسِهِ, and بِرَأْيِهِ, [Admiring himself, (lit. excited to admiration by himself,) or pleased with himself, and his opinion, or judgment; selfconceited, and conceited of his opinion or judgment,] (S, O, TA,) [or] vain, or proud, [thereof; for]

مُعْجَبٌ signifies a man vain, or proud, of what proceeds from him, whether good or bad, and of himself, or of a thing [belonging to him, such as his dress or wealth &c.]: but Er-Rághib makes a distinction between مُعْجَبٌ and تَائِهٌ; saying that the معجب believes himself with respect to the opinion or judgment that he forms of himself indecisively from evidence outweighed in probability; [so that it rather denotes conceit than vanity;] whereas the تائه believes himself decisively. (MF, TA.) مُعْجِبٌ [Inducing wonder, or admiration, &c.]: see عَجَبٌ, in the middle of the paragraph: [or] a thing that is very good or goodly or beautiful. (TA.)

جعب

1 جَعَبَهُ (S, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. جَعْبٌ, (TA,) He prostrated him; he threw him down upon the ground; (S, K, TA;) like جَعَفَهُ; (S;) as also ↓ جعّبهُ, (K,) ing. n. تَعْجِيبٌ; (TA;) and ↓جَعْمَاهُ (S, K, [in the CK erroneously written جَعْبَأَه,]) like سَلْقَاهُ from سَلَقَهُ, (S,) inf. n. جِعْبَآءٌ. (S, TA [in the latter, in one place, probably by a mistake of a copyist, written جعباة].) b2: He in verted it, or him; he turned it, or him, upside down, or over, or inside out; syn. قَلَبَهُ. (K.) b3: He collected it; (K;) mostly used in relation to that which is small in quantity, paltry, or inconsiderable. (TA.) A2: جَعَبَ, (A, K,) and جَعَبَ جَعْبَةٌ, (A,) He made a quiver of the kind called جعبة. (A, K.) 2 جَعَّبَ see 1.5 تَجَعَّبَ see 7.7 انجعب and ↓ تجعّب (K) and ↓ تَجَعْبَى (S, K) He became prostrated, or thrown down upon the ground. (S, K.) Q. Q. 1 جَعْبَاهُ: see 1.

Q. Q. 2 تَجَعْبَى: see 7.

جَعْبَةٌ A كِنَانَة [or quiver] (A, K) for arrows (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K) of the kind called نُشَّاب (S, A, Msb, K) and for those that are called نَبْل also: (Ham p. 154:) but some make a distinction between جَعْبَةٌ and كِنَانَةٌ: the former, they say, is for نشّاب; and the latter, for نبل: (Mz, MF:) accord. to IDrd, the كنانة is only for نبل, and is of leather: that which is of wood is called جَفِير: and that which is of two pieces [of wood] joined together is called قرن [i. e. قَرَنٌ]: (Ham ubi suprà:) accord. to ISh, the جعبة is round and wide, with a cover on the top, over its mouth: the وَفْضَة is smaller, and its upper and lower parts are of equal size; whereas the جعبة is wide in its upper part, and contracted in its lower part; wide in its upper part that the feathers of the arrows [having ample room] may not become detached; for the arrows are put in the quiver with the points downwards: each of these two kinds is made of two corresponding pieces of wood: (TA:) the pl. is جِعَابٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and جَعَبَاتٌ. (Msb.) You say, نَكَبُوا الجِعَابَ وَسَكَبُوا النُّشَّابَ [They inverted, or inclined, the quivers, and poured forth the arrows]. (A, TA.) and مَعَهُ جَعْبَةٌ فِيهَا بَنَاتُ المَوْتِ [With him is a quiver in which are the daughters of death; i. e., deadly arrows]. (A, TA.) b2: Also The largest of drinking-vessels. (MF, TA.) جُعْبُوبٌ A man (S) short, and ugly, or contemptible; or ugly, and small in body: (S, K:) or weak, and destitute of good: or vile, or mean, and despicable: (K:) or a low, mean, or sordid, and weak man: pl. جَعَابِيبُ. (TA.) جِعَابَةٌ The art of making quivers of the kind called جِعَاب, pl. of جَعْبَةٌ. (A, K.) جِعَابِىٌّ: see what next follows.

جَعَّابٌ [and app. ↓ جِعَابِىٌّ also, as seems to be indicated in the K, where it is mentioned as a surname, but in the CK written جَعّابىّ,] A maker of quivers of the kind called جِعَاب. (A, K.) مِجْعَبٌ One who often prostrates, or throws down, others, (صِرِّيعٌ, [in some copies of the K, erroneously, صَرِيع,]) but is not himself prostrated, or thrown down. (K, TA.) مُنْجَعِبٌ or مُتَجَعِّبٌ (accord. to different copies of the K) Dead, or dying; syn. مَيِّتٌ. (K.)

اله

1 أَلَهَ, (S, and so in some copies of the K,) with fet-h, (S,) or أَلِهَ, (Mgh, Msb, and so in some copies of the K,) like تَعِبَ, aor. ـَ (Msb,) inf. n. إِلَاهَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and أُلُوهَةٌ and أُلُوهِيَّپٌ, (K,) He served, worshipped, or adored; syn. عَبَدَ. (S, Msb, K.) Hence the reading of I'Ab, [in the Kur vii. 124,] وَيَذَرَكَ وَإِلَاهَتَكَ [And leave thee, and the service, or worship, or adoration, of thee; instead of وَآلِهَتَكَ and thy gods, which is the common reading]; for he used to say that Pharaoh was worshipped, and did not worship: (S:) so, too, says, Th: and IB says that the opinion of I'Ab is strengthened by the sayings of Pharaoh [mentioned in the Kur lxxix. 24 and xxviii. 38], “I am your lord the most high,” and “I did not know any god of yours beside me.” (TA.) A2: أَلِهَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. أَلَهٌ, (S,) He was, or became, confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course; (S, K;) originally وَلِهَ. (S.) b2: أَلِهَ عَلَي فُلَانٍ He was, or became, vehemently impatient, or affected with vehement grief, or he manifested vehement grief and agitation, on account of such a one; (S, K;) like وَلِهَ. (S.) b3: أَلِهَ إِلَيْهِ He betook himself to him by reason of fright or fear, seeking protection; or sought, or asked, aid, or succour, of him: he had recourse, or betook himself, to him for refuge, protection, or preservation. (K.) b4: أَلِهَ بِالمَكَانِ He remained, stayed, abode, or dwelt, in the place. (MF.) A3: أَلَهَهُ, (K,) like مَنَعَهُ, (TA,) [in the CK اَلِهَهُ,] He protected him; granted him refuge; preserved, saved, rescued, or liberated, him; aided, or succoured, him; or delivered him from evil: he rendered him secure, or safe. (K.) 2 تَأْلِيهٌ [inf. n. of أَلَّهَهُ He made him, or took him as, a slave; he enslaved him;] i. q. تَعْبِيدٌ. (S, K.) b2: [The primary signification of أَلَّهَهُ seems to be, He made him to serve, worship, or adore. b3: Accord. to Freytag, besides having the former of the two meanings explained above, it signifies He reckoned him among gods; held him to be a god; made him a god: but he does not mention his authority.]5 تألّه He devoted himself to religious services or exercises; applied himself to acts of devotion.

إِلهٌ, or إِلَاهٌ, [the former of which is the more common mode of writing the word,] is of the measure فعَالٌ (S, Msb, K) in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, (S, Msb,) like كِتَابٌ in the sense of مَكْتُوبٌ, and بِسَاطٌ in the sense of مَبْسُوطً, (Msb,) meaning ↓ مَأْلْوةٌ [An object of worship or adoration; i. e. a god, a deity]; (S, Msb, K) anything that is taken as an object of worship or adoration, accord. to him who takes it as such: (K:) with the article ال, properly, i. q. اللّٰهُ; [sec this word below;] but applied by the believers in a plurality of gods to what is worshipped by them to the exclusion of اللّٰه: (Msb:) pl. آلِهَةٌ: (Msb, TA:) which signifies idols: (JK, S, TA:) in the K, this meaning is erroneously assigned to إِلَاهَةٌ: (TA:) [not so in the CK; but there, الالِهَةُ is put in a place where we should read الإِلَاهَةُ, or إِلَاهَةُ without the article:] ↓ الإِلَاهَةُ [is the fem. of الإِلَاهُ, and] signifies [the goddess: and particularly] the serpent: [(a meaning erroneously assigned in the CK to الآلِهَةُ; as also other meanings here following:) because it was a special object of the worship of some of the ancient Arabs:] (K:) or the great serpent: (Th:) and the [new moon; or the moon when it is termed]

هِلَال: (Th, K:) and, (S, K,) as also ↓ إِلَاهَةُ, without ال, the former perfectly decl., and the latter imperfectly decl., (S,) and ↓ الأُلَاهَةُ, (IAar, K,) and ↓ أُلَاهَةُ, (IAar, TA,) and ↓ الأَلَاهَةُ, (K,) [and app. ↓ أَلَاهَةُ,] and ↓ الأَلِيهَةُ, (K,) the sun; (S, K;) app. so called because of the honour and worship which they paid to it: (S:) or the hot sun. (Th, TA.) [إِلهٌ is the same as the Hebrew אֱלוֹהַּ and The Chaldee XXX; and is of uncertain derivaTion: accord. To some,] it is originally وِلَاهٌ, like as إِشَاحٌ is originally وِشَاحٌ; meaning that mankind yearn towards him who is thus called, [seeking protection or aid,] in their wants, and humble themselves to him in their afflictions, like as every infant yearns towards its mother.

إِلهِىٌّ, or إِلَاهِىٌّ, Of, or relating to, God or a god; divine; theological: Hence, العِلْمُ الإِلهِىُّ or الإِلَاهِىٌّ: see what next follows.]

الإِلهِيَّةُ, or الإِلَاهِيَّةُ, Theology; the science of the being and attributes of God, and of the articles of religious belief; also termed عِلْمُ الإِلهِيَّاتِ or الإِلَاهِيَّاتِ, and ↓ العِلْمُ الإِلهِىُّ or الإِلَاهِىُّ.]

اللّٰهُ, [written with the disjunctive alif اَللّٰهُ, meaning God, i. e. the only true god,] accord. to the most correct of the opinions respecting it, which are twenty in number, (K,) or more than thirty, (MF,) is a proper name, (Msb, K,) applied to the Being who exists necessarily, by Himself, comprising all the attributes of perfection; (TA;) a proper name denoting the true god, comprising all the excellent divine names; a unity comprising all the essences of existing things; (Ibn-El- 'Arabee, TA;) the ال being inseparable from it: (Msb:) not derived: (Lth, Msb, K:) or it is originally إِلهٌ, or إِلَاهٌ, (Sb, A Heyth, S, Msb, K,) of the measure فِعَالٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, meaning مَأْلُوهٌ, (S, K, *) with [the article]

ال prefixed to it, (Sb, A Heyth, S, Msb,) so that it becomes الإِلَاهُ, (Sb, A Heyth, Msb,) then the vowel of the hemzeh is transferred to the ل [before it], (Msb,) and the hemzeh is suppressed, (Sb, A Heyth, S, Msb,) so that there remains اللّٰهُ, or الِلَاهُ, after which the former ل is made quiescent, and incorporated into the other: (Sb, A Heyth, Msb:) the suppression of the hemzeh is for the purpose of rendering the word easy of utterance, on account of the frequency of its occurrence: and the ال is not a substitute for the hemzeh; for were it so, it would not occur therewith in الإِلَاهُ: (S:) so says J; but IB says that this is not a necessary inference, because الإِلَاهُ applies to God (اللّٰهُ) and also to the idol that is worshipped; whereas اللّٰهُ applies only to God; and therefore, in using the vocative form of address, one may say, يَا اَللّٰهُ [O God], with the article ال and with the disjunctive hemzeh; but one may not say, يَا الإِلَاهُ either with the disjunctive or with the conjunctive hemzeh: (TA:) Sb allows that it may be originally لَاهٌ: see art. ليه: (S:) some say that it is from أَلِهَ, either because minds are confounded, or perplexed, by the greatness, or majesty, of God, or because He is the object of recourse for protection, or aid, in every case: or from أَلَهَهُ, meaning “he protected him,” &c., as explained above: see 1, last sentence. (TA.) The ال is pronounced with the disjunctive hemzeh in using the vocative form of address [يَا اَللّٰهُ] because it is inseparably prefixed as an honourable distinction of this name; (S;) or because a pause upon the vocative particle is intended in honour of the name; (S in art. ليه;) and AAF says that it is also thus pronounced in a form of swearing; as in أَفَاَللّٰهِ لَتَفْعَلَنَّ [an elliptical phrase, as will be shown below, meaning Then, by God, wilt thou indeed do such a thing?]; though he denies its being thus pronounced because it is inseparable; regarding it as a substitute for the suppressed hemzeh of الإِلَاهُ: (S in the present art.:) Sb mentions this pronunciation in يَا اَللّٰهُ; and Th mentions the pronunciation of يَا اللّٰهُ also, with the conjunctive hemzeh: Ks, moreover, mentions, as used by the Arabs, the phrase يَلَهْ اَغْفِرْلِى [O God, forgive me], for يَا اللّٰهُ; but this is disapproved. (ISd, TA.) The word is pronounced in the manner termed تَفْخِيم, [i. e., with the broad sound of the lengthened fet-h, and with a full sound of the letter ل,] for the purpose of showing honour to it; but when it is preceded by a kesreh, [as in بِاللّٰهِ By God, and بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ In the name of God,] it is pronounced in the [contr.] manner termed تَرْقِيق: AHát says that some of the vulgar say, لَاوَاللّٰهْ [No, by God], suppressing the alif, which should necessarily be uttered, as in الرَّحْمنُ, which is in like manner written without alif; and he adds that some person has composed a verse in which the alif [in this word] is suppressed, erroneously. (Msb.) You say, اَللّٰهَ اللّٰهَ فِى كَذَا, [a verb being understood,] meaning Fear ye God, fear ye God, with respect to such a thing. (Marginal note in a copy of the Jámi' es-Sagheer. [See another ex. voce كَرَّةٌ.]) And اَللّٰهَ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ and اَللّٰهِ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ [By God, I will assuredly do such a thing]: in the former is understood a verb significant of swearing; and in the latter, [or in both, for a noun is often put in the accus. case because of a particle understood,] a particle [such as بِ or وَ] denoting an oath. (Bd in ii. 1.) and لِلهِ مَا فَعَلْتُ, meaning وَاللّٰهِ مَا فَعَلْتُ [By God, I did not, or have not done, such a thing]. (JK.) And لِلّهِ دَرُّكَ (tropical:) To God be attributed thy deed! (A in art. در:) or the good that hath proceeded from thee! or thy good deed! or thy gift! and what is received from thee! [and thy flow of eloquence! and the like]: a phrase expressive of admiration of anything: (TA in art. در:) [when said to an eloquent speaker or poet, it may be rendered divinely art thou gifted!]. And لِلّهِ دَرُّهُ (tropical:) To God be attributed his deed! [&c.]. (S and K in art. در.) And لِلّهِ القَائِلُ [meaning To God be attributed (the eloquence of) the sayer! or] how good, or beautiful, is the saying of the sayer, or of him who says [such and such words]! or it is like the phrase لِلّهِ دَرُّهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) To God be attributed his goodness! and his pure action! (Har p. 11.) And لِلّهِ فُلَانٌ [To God be attributed (the excel-lence, or goodness, or deed, &c., of) such a one!] explained by Az as meaning wonder ye at such a one: how perfect is he! (Har ibid.) [And لِلّهِ أَبُوكَ: see art. ابو.] And لَاهِ أَنْتَ, meaning لِلّهِ أَنْتَ [lit. To God be thou attributed! i. e. to God be attributed thine excellence! or thy goodness! or thy deed! &c.]. (JK.) [Similar to لِلّهِ, thus used, is the Hebrew expression לֵאלֹהּים after an epithet signifying “great” or the like.] إِنَّالِلّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ, in the Kur [ii. 151], said on the occasion of an affliction, means Verily to God we belong, as property and servants, He doing with us what He willeth, and verily unto Him we return in the ultimate state of existence, and He will recompense us. (Jel.) Az mentions the phrase الحَمْدُلَاهِ [meaning الحَمْدُلِلّهِ Praise be to God]: but this is not allowable in the Kur-án: it is only related as heard from the Arabs of the desert, and those not knowing the usage of the Kur-án. (Az, TA.) b2: ↓ اَللّهُمَّ is an expression used in prayer; as also لَاهُمَّ; (JK, Msb;) meaning يَا اَللّٰهُ [O God]; the م being a substitute for [the suppressed vocative particle] يا; (S in art. ليه, and Bd in iii. 25;) but one says also, يَا اَللّهُمَّ, (JK, and S ibid,) by poetic licence: (S ibid:) or the meaning, accord. to some, is يَا اَللّٰهُ أُمَّنَا بِخَيْرٍ [O God, bring us good]; (JK, and Bd ubi suprà;) and hence the origin of the expression. (Bd.) You say also اَللّهُمَّ إِلَّا [which may be rendered, inversely, Unless, indeed; or unless, possibly]: the former word being thus used to denote that the exception is something very rare. (Mtr in the commencement of his Expos. of the Makámát of El-Hareeree, and Har pp. 52 and 53.) And اَللّهُمَّ نَعَمْ [which may be rendered, inversely, Yes, indeed; or yea, verily]: the former word being used in this case as corroborative of the answer to an interrogation, negative and affirmative. (Har p. 563.) اَللّهُمَّ: see what next precedes.

الجملة القرآنية
كِتابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ آياتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِنْ لَدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ (هود 1). ذلك خير ما توصف به الجملة القرآنية، فهى بناء قد أحكمت لبناته، ونسقت أدق تنسيق، لا تحس فيها بكلمة تضيق بمكانها، أو تنبو عن موضعها، أو لا تعيش مع أخواتها، حتى صار من العسير بل من المستحيل، أن تغير في الجملة كلمة بكلمة، أو أن تستغنى فيها عن لفظ، أو أن تزيد فيها شيئا، وصار قصارى أمرك إذا أردت معارضة جملة في القرآن، أن ترجع بعد طول المطاف إليها، كأنما لم يخلق الله لأداء تلك المعانى، غير هذه الألفاظ، وكأنما ضاقت اللغة، فلم تجد فيها، وهى بحر خضم، ما تؤدى به تلك المعانى غير ما اختاره القرآن لهذا الأداء.
والجملة القرآنية تتبع المعنى النفسى، فتصوره بألفاظها، لتلقيه في النفس، حتى إذا استكملت الجملة أركانها، برز المعنى، ظاهرا فيه المهم والأهم، فليس تقديم كلمة على أخرى صناعة لفظية فحسب، ولكن المعنى هو الذى جعل ترتيب الآية ضرورة لا معدى عنه، وإلا اختل وانهار. خذ مثلا قوله تعالى: وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْراهِيمُ الْقَواعِدَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَإِسْماعِيلُ رَبَّنا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (البقرة 127).
تجد إسماعيل معطوفا على إبراهيم، فهو كأبيه يرفع القواعد من البيت، ولكن تأخره في الذكر، يوحى بأن دوره في رفع القواعد دور ثانوى، أما الدور الأساسى فقد قام به إبراهيم، «قيل كان إبراهيم يبنى، وإسماعيل يناوله الحجارة » فنزلت الآية، وكأنما كانت ستنسى دور إسماعيل لثانويته، ثم ذكرته بعد أن انتهت من تكونها.
وخذ قوله تعالى: إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ (الفاتحة 5). فإنك ترى تقديم المفعول هنا؛ لأنه موضع عناية العابد ورجاء المستعين، فلا جرم وهو مناط الاهتمام أن يتقدم كما يتقدم كل ما يهتم به ويعنى. وخذ قوله تعالى: وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلاةِ وَإِنَّها لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى الْخاشِعِينَ (البقرة 45). تجد المستعان عليه في الآية غير مذكور، لا تخففا من ذكره، ولكن ليوحى هذا الحذف إلى النفس أن كل ما يقوم أمام المرء من مشقة، وما يعترضه من صعوبات، يستعان على التغلب عليه، بالصبر والصلاة.
تمضى الجملة القرآنية، وقد كونت من كلمات قد اختيرت، ثم نسقت في سلك من النظام، فلا ضعف في تأليف، ولا تعقيد في نظم، ولكن حسن تنسيق، ودقة ترتيب، وإحكام في تلاؤم. واقرأ قوله تعالى: ذلِكَ الْكِتابُ لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدىً لِلْمُتَّقِينَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَما أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَبِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ أُولئِكَ عَلى هُدىً مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ (البقرة 2 - 5). ترى آيات قد التحم نسجها، وارتبط بناء بعضها ببعض، تسلم الجملة إلى أختها، فى التئام واتساق، فالجملة الأولى قد وصفت القرآن بالكمال، ووصفته الجملة الثانية، بأنه لا يعلق به الريب، لا في أخباره، ولا في نسبته إلى الله، وفي الجملة التالية جعله هاديا لأولئك الذين يخشون الله ويتقونه، ومضت الآية الثانية تصف هؤلاء الذين ينتفعون بالقرآن، فهم الذين يوقنون بما أنبأهم به من أمور غائبة لا يرونها، ويقومون بواجبهم لله، فيؤدون الصلاة كما يجب أن تؤدى، وواجبهم للمجتمع، فيقدمون من أموالهم ما يساعدون به البائس والمعتر، ولا يتعصبون لرسول دون رسول، بل يؤمنون بما أنزل على محمد، وما أنزل من قبله، ورأس الإيمان وأساسه هو إيمانهم باليوم الآخر، لأن ذلك الإيمان يدفع إلى العمل الصالح، وينهى عن المنكر والبغى، فلا جرم أن كان أولئك على هدى من ربهم وكانوا هم المفلحين.
ذلك مثل من أمثلة الارتباط القوى بين جمل الآية القرآنية، وكثير من الجمل فى القرآن توحى إليك ألفاظها، بمعان لا يستطيع لفظ أن يحدها، بل يترك للنفس أمر إدراكها، وحسبى أن أشير من ذلك إلى قوله سبحانه: وَإِذْ أَخَذْنا مِيثاقَكُمْ لا تَسْفِكُونَ دِماءَكُمْ وَلا تُخْرِجُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنْ دِيارِكُمْ ثُمَّ أَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ هؤُلاءِ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَتُخْرِجُونَ فَرِيقاً مِنْكُمْ مِنْ دِيارِهِمْ تَظاهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوانِ (البقرة 84، 85). أولا توحى إليك جملة ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ هؤُلاءِ بالفرق بين ما كان يجب أن يكونوا عليه، وما هم حقيقة عليه، فأى خيبة أمل تملأ النفس منهم، أو لا تدل هذه الجملة القصيرة على سخط شديد، وتعجب لأمور ما كان ينتظر حدوثها، ونتائج كانت المقدمات تمهد لغيرها. وقوله تعالى: وَقالُوا لَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ كانَ هُوداً أَوْ نَصارى تِلْكَ أَمانِيُّهُمْ قُلْ هاتُوا بُرْهانَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صادِقِينَ (البقرة 111). أولا تحس في قوله سبحانه: تِلْكَ أَمانِيُّهُمْ؛ بالتهكم اللاذع بهم، وأن تلك الأمانى التى تجول في صدورهم، لن تجد لها سبيلا إلى التحقق في غير أحلامهم.
وتستخدم الجملة الفعلية في القرآن للدلالة على التجدد والحدوث، والاسمية للثبوت والاستمرار، والمراد بالتجدد في الماضى حصوله، وفي المضارع تكراره، تأمل ذلك في قوله تعالى على لسان إبراهيم: الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ وَإِذا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ (الشعراء 78 - 80). فأتى في الخلق بالماضى لحصوله مرة واحدة، وفيما عداه بالمضارع لتكرره طول الحياة، وتأمل قوله تعالى: قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشاءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشاءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشاءُ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ تُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهارِ وَتُولِجُ النَّهارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَتُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَتَرْزُقُ مَنْ تَشاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ (آل عمران 26، 27). تجد المضارع هنا دالا على ما يتجدد من فعل الله سبحانه في كل حين، ومن الجملة الاسمية قوله تعالى: أُولئِكَ جَزاؤُهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَجَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهارُ خالِدِينَ فِيها (آل عمران 136).
وقد يتغير اتجاه الجملة تبعا لتغيّر الاتجاه النفسى ففاتحة الكتاب قد تلون فيها الحديث، وتغير اتجاه الجملة، فكان حديثا عن الله المستحق للحمد، وكان التصريح باسمه وصفاته مؤذنا بأنه أهل للحمد والثناء، فإذا كان المقام مقام العبادة والاستعانة، تحولت الجملة إلى الخطاب إيذانا بقربك ممن تحمد قربا قلبيا، ويسمح لك الشعور بهذا القرب أن تطلب منه العون والمساعدة، ويستمر الخطاب في الجمل إلى اهْدِنَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ. صِراطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ حتى إذا جاء دور المغضوب عليهم، تحول
الأسلوب مرة أخرى، فمن تعظيم الله ترك مخاطبته بإسناد الغضب إليه والإضلال.
وقوله تعالى: وَقالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمنُ وَلَداً لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْئاً إِدًّا (مريم 88، 89).
فالانتقال من الحديث عنهم، إلى الحديث إليهم زيادة في تهديد من قالوا، ومواجهة لهم بالسخط عليهم، والتأنيب لهم. ومن ذلك قوله تعالى: سُبْحانَ الَّذِي أَسْرى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بارَكْنا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آياتِنا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ (الإسراء 1). فقد يكون ظاهر السياق أن يقال: «سبحان الذى أسرى بعبده ليلا، من المسجد الحرام إلى المسجد الأقصى، الذى بارك حوله، ليريه من آياته، إنه هو السميع البصير»، ولكنه عدل عن الغيبة إلى الحضور في وسط الآية، تعظيما من شأن المسجد الأقصى، ومن شأن ما يرى الله من آياته. وقوله سبحانه: وَما لِيَ لا أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ (يس 22). فقد يتراءى أن اتجاه الآية يقضى بأن تنتهى بقوله: وإليه أرجع: ولكنه عدل عن ذلك؛ لأن المقام مقام نقاش بين من آمن ومن كفروا؛ فهو ينتهز كل فرصة ليقنعهم فيها بوجود الإيمان بالله واليوم الآخر. أولا تدلنا هذه الخاتمة على أن كمال الأدب هو الذى صاغ العبارة هذا الصوغ. وأنه يخفى وراءها قوله: وما لكم لا تعبدون الذى فطركم؛ وقد يكون في تعبيره هذا موحيا لهم بأنه لا يريد لهم غير ما يريد لنفسه؛ وذلك أسرع إلى قبول النصح، وأشد إظهارا للإخلاص.
ومن ذلك قوله سبحانه: هُوَ الَّذِي يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ حَتَّى إِذا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِمْ بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُوا بِها جاءَتْها رِيحٌ عاصِفٌ وَجاءَهُمُ الْمَوْجُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكانٍ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنْجَيْتَنا مِنْ هذِهِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ فَلَمَّا أَنْجاهُمْ إِذا هُمْ يَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ (يونس 22، 23). فقد كان السياق يقضى أن تسير الآية على الخطاب. ولكنه انتقل ليقص قصة هؤلاء الذين لا يذكرون الله إلا عند شدة تنزل بهم، حتى إذا انقضت المحنة بغوا في الأرض، وفي ذلك تعجيب من أمر هؤلاء القوم، وإنكار عليهم كفرهم بأنعم الله، ونسيانهم التخلص من المآزق متى ابتعدوا عنها، وفي الحديث عن غائبين إيحاء للمخاطبين بألا يفعلوا هذا الفعل المستنكر. وعلى منوال هذه الآية يجرى قوله تعالى: إِنَّ هذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً واحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ وَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ كُلٌّ إِلَيْنا راجِعُونَ (الأنبياء 92، 93).
وقوله سبحانه: يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعاً الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحيِي وَيُمِيتُ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَلِماتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ (الأعراف 158). فقد يكون ظاهر السياق يقضى أن يقول: (فآمنوا بالله وبى)، ولكنه عدل عن ذلك ليبين الدوافع التى تدعو إلى الإيمان به واتباعه».
وقوله تعالى: ثُمَّ اسْتَوى إِلَى السَّماءِ وَهِيَ دُخانٌ فَقالَ لَها وَلِلْأَرْضِ ائْتِيا طَوْعاً أَوْ كَرْهاً قالَتا أَتَيْنا طائِعِينَ فَقَضاهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَماواتٍ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ وَأَوْحى فِي كُلِّ سَماءٍ أَمْرَها وَزَيَّنَّا السَّماءَ الدُّنْيا بِمَصابِيحَ وَحِفْظاً ذلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ (فصلت 11، 12). فعند ما جاء الحديث عن زينة السماء الدنيا، نسب ذلك إلى نفسه صراحة، لما فيها من الجمال الذى يبهر نفس رائيه، والنفع الملموس لهم، فذكرهم الله بأنه خالق هذا الجمال، ومبدع هذه الزينة. وقوله سبحانه: وَأَوْحَيْنا إِلى مُوسى وَأَخِيهِ أَنْ تَبَوَّءا لِقَوْمِكُما بِمِصْرَ بُيُوتاً وَاجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (يونس 87)، فربما ظن أن وجه العبارة أن تسند الأفعال كلها إلى ضمير الاثنين: «موسى وهارون» ولكنه أسند الفعل مرتين إلى واو الجماعة إشارة إلى أن هذا التكليف لا يخصهما فحسب، بل هما وقومهما جميعا، ثم أفرد الفعل في آخر الآية يشير بذلك إلى أن المخاطب أولا وبالذات إنما هو أحدهما، وهو الرسول موسى.
ومن ذلك قوله تعالى: قالُوا يا هُودُ ما جِئْتَنا بِبَيِّنَةٍ وَما نَحْنُ بِتارِكِي آلِهَتِنا عَنْ قَوْلِكَ وَما نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنْ نَقُولُ إِلَّا اعْتَراكَ بَعْضُ آلِهَتِنا بِسُوءٍ قالَ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَاشْهَدُوا أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ (هود 53، 54)، فلم يقل: وأشهدكم، لما يشعر به هذا التعبير من العناية بأمرهم، لجعلهم قرناء لله، فى الشهادة عليه؛ أما التعبير بفعل الأمر ففيه تنبيه لهم، وإيقاظ، حتى يتلقوا ما سيلقيه عليهم، مؤذنا إياهم بمباينتهم فيما يعبدون.
وتأمل سر تلوين الأسلوب في قوله تعالى: قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّي بِالْقِسْطِ وَأَقِيمُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ كَما بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ (الأعراف 29). فقد أبرز هذا التلوين العناية بكل واحد مما أمروا به على حدة، فاتجه أمر الرب إلى القسط وحده، ثم أمروا أمرا جديدا، بأن يقيموا وجوههم عند كل مسجد، وأمرا جديدا آخر بأن يدعوه مخلصين له الدين، وفي ذلك من العناية بتوكيد كل أمر ما فيه، ولم يجعل أحد هذه الأمور ملحقا بصاحبه- وانظر تفخيم أمر النبى صلوات الله عليه من تغيير نهج الأسلوب، فى قوله تعالى: وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جاؤُكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً (النساء 64). إذ لم يقل: واستغفرت لهم.
ومن ذلك استعمال أحد الفعلين الماضى والمضارع، موضع صاحبه، فيأتى بالمضارع مكان الماضى؛ لإحضار صورة الفعل أمام السامع، حتى لكأنه يشاهده؛ وليس ذلك مما يثيره الفعل الماضى، لأن سامعه قد يكتفى بأن يتخيل فعلا قد مضى، وربما لا يستحضر صورته أو تكرره. واقرأ قوله تعالى: أَفَكُلَّما جاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِما لا تَهْوى أَنْفُسُكُمُ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ فَفَرِيقاً كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيقاً تَقْتُلُونَ (البقرة 87). تجد الفعل المضارع قد صور جريمتهم كأنهم يرتكبونها؛ وفي ذلك من التشنيع عليهم ما فيه. وقوله تعالى: وَاللَّهُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّياحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحاباً فَسُقْناهُ إِلى بَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ فَأَحْيَيْنا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِها كَذلِكَ النُّشُورُ (فاطر 9). ففي (تثير) ما يحضر تلك الصورة الطبيعية، الدالة على القدرة الباهرة.
وقوله تعالى: وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّما خَرَّ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ الطَّيْرُ أَوْ تَهْوِي بِهِ الرِّيحُ فِي مَكانٍ سَحِيقٍ (الحج 31). ففي ذكر المضارع استحضار صورة خطف الطير له، وهوىّ الريح به. ويستخدم الماضى مكان المضارع إشارة إلى تأكيد وقوع الفعل، حتى كأنه قد وقع، وذلك يكون فيما يستعظم من الأمور؛ ومن أمثلته قوله سبحانه وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ شاءَ اللَّهُ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ داخِرِينَ (النمل 87). وقوله تعالى: وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْجِبالَ وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ بارِزَةً وَحَشَرْناهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَداً (الكهف 47). وقوله تعالى: أَتى أَمْرُ اللَّهِ فَلا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ سُبْحانَهُ وَتَعالى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ (النحل 1). وقوله تعالى: وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ جَمِيعاً فَقالَ الضُّعَفاءُ لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعاً فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذابِ اللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قالُوا لَوْ هَدانَا اللَّهُ لَهَدَيْناكُمْ سَواءٌ عَلَيْنا أَجَزِعْنا أَمْ صَبَرْنا ما لَنا مِنْ مَحِيصٍ (إبراهيم 21). وفي الإتيان بالماضى هنا من إيقاع الرهبة في النفوس ما فيه لأن الفعل كأنه قد تم، والقرآن يتحدث عنه، وفي استخدام الماضى في قوله تعالى: الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ ما أَنْزَلْنا مِنَ الْبَيِّناتِ وَالْهُدى مِنْ بَعْدِ ما بَيَّنَّاهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْكِتابِ أُولئِكَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تابُوا وَأَصْلَحُوا وَبَيَّنُوا فَأُولئِكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنَا التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ (البقرة 159، 160).
إشارة إلى ما اتسم به هؤلاء التائبون من مبادرة، وإسراع إلى التوبة. وفي قوله تعالى: وَلَوْ يَرَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا إِذْ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذابَ أَنَّ الْقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعاً وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعَذابِ إِذْ تَبَرَّأَ الَّذِينَ اتُّبِعُوا مِنَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوا وَرَأَوُا الْعَذابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتْ بِهِمُ الْأَسْبابُ وَقالَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوا لَوْ أَنَّ لَنا كَرَّةً فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُمْ كَما تَبَرَّؤُا مِنَّا كَذلِكَ يُرِيهِمُ اللَّهُ أَعْمالَهُمْ حَسَراتٍ عَلَيْهِمْ وَما هُمْ بِخارِجِينَ مِنَ النَّارِ (البقرة 165 - 167). تأكيد لما سيحدث في المستقبل حتى كأنه حدث.
