حَجُّ and ↓ حِجٌّ, the former an inf. n., and the latter a simple subst., (S, Msb, K,) or the latter also is an inf. n., (Sb, L,) [both used as substs.,] The pilgrimage to Mekkeh, (S, K,) or to the Kaabeh, (Msb,) to perform the religious rites and ceremonies prescribed to be observed on that occasion: (S, Msb, K:) Ks makes no difference between these two words: some say that the former is employed to signify the religious rites and ceremonies of the pilgrimage because they follow the repairing to Mekkeh, or because they are completed by shaving [the head], or because people continue long going to and fro to perform them: accord. to Az, it signifies the performance of the religious rites and ceremonies of the pilgrimage of one year; and some say ↓ حِجٌّ and ↓ حِجَّةٌ: (TA:) or this last signifies a single pilgrimage, for the performance of its appointed religious rites and ceremonies; deviating from rule; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) for by rule it should be ↓ حَجَّةٌ, (S, Mgh, K,) which, Th says, has not been heard from the Arabs: (Mgh, Msb:) Ks says that ↓ حَجَجْتُ حِجَّةً and رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَةً are the only deviations from the model of فَعَلْتُ فَعْلَةً in all the language of the Arabs: but El-Athram and others are related to have said, We have not heard from the Arabs حَجَجْتُ حِجَّةً

nor رَأَيْتُ رِئْيَةً; they saying only ↓ حَجَجْتُ حَجَّةً: (L, TA:) whence it appears that ↓ حَجَّةٌ and ↓ حِجَّةٌ were both used: (TA:) the pl. of the latter is حِجَجٌ: (Mgh, Msb:) so in the saying, نَذَرَ خَمْسَ حِجَجٍ [He made a vow to perform five pilgrimages]. (Mgh.) Hence, ↓ ذُو الــحِجَّةِ (S, Mgh, Msb) and ↓ ذو الــحَجَّةِ, (Msb, TA,) which latter is said by Kz and 'Iyád and Ibn-Kurkool to be the more common, (TA,) [or, accord. to Fei, the contr. is the case, for he says,] some pronounce it in the latter manner, (Msb,) [The last month of the Arabian calendar;] the month of the pilgrimage; (S, Mgh, Msb;) so called because the pilgrimage to Mekkeh, and the religious rites and ceremonies thereof, are performed in it: (TA:) pl. ذَوَاتُ الحجّهِ: (S, Msb:) they did not say ذَوُو الــحَجّةِ agreeably with the singular. (S.) [Hence also,] ↓ وَــحَجَّةِ اللّٰهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ [By the pilgrimage which is the ordinance of God, I will not do this or that thing]: a form of oath used by the Arabs. (S, K.) What is commonly termed الحَجُّ is sometimes termed الحَجُّ الأَكْبَرُ [The greater pilgrimage]: العُمْرَةُ [q. v.] being termed الحَجَّ الأَصْغَرُ [the minor pilgrimage]. (Kull p. 168.) b2: See also حَاجٌّ.

حِجُّ: see حَجُّ, in two places: b2: and see also حَاجٌّ.

حَجَّةٌ: see حَجٌّ, in five places.

A2: Also, (IAar, K,) and ↓ حِجَّةٌ, (S, K,) the former of which is the word commonly known, (IAar in a marginal note in a copy of the S,) and ↓ حَاجَّةٌ, which is a subst. like كَاهِلٌ and غَارِبٌ, (L,) The lobe of the ear. (S, L, K.) b2: And the first, The bore, or perforation, of the lobe of the ear. (AA, TA.) b3: And A bead, or a pearl, that is hung in the ear; (K;) sometimes called ↓ حَاجَّةٌ. (IDrd, TA.) حُجَّةٌ A mode [of argument or the like] by which one overcomes in a litigation, dispute, or altercation; so called because recourse is had to it (لِأَنَّهَا تُحَجُّ, i. e. تُقْصَدُ): (T, TA:) that by which one rebuts, or refels, an adversary in a litigation, dispute, or altercation: an argument; a plea; an allegation: [it may be true or false: see Kur xlii. 15, and xlv. 24:] (TA:) a proof; an evidence; a testimony: (S, Msb, K:) [a title; a voucher: often thus used in the present day:] also applied to a person; like ثَبَتٌ; (A and Mgh and TA in art. ثبت;) [as in the saying, مَنْ حِفِظَ حُجَّةٌ عَلَى مَنْ لَمْ يَحْفَظْ He who preserves in his mind a word, or an authority, &c., is an evidence against him who does not; occurring often in the larger lexicons, expressing the superior authority of hearsay, or usage, over analogy &c.; and in the saying,] أَنْتَ حُجَّةٌ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ [Thou art an evidence against thyself]; a phrase mentioned by Akh: (S in art. بصر:) [also, an excuse:] pl. حُجَجٌ (A, Msb) and حِجَاجٌ. (TA.) حِجَّةٌ: see حَجٌّ, in four places. b2: Also A year: (S, Msb, K:) pl. حِجَجٌ. (S, A, Msb.) You say, أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ حِجَّةً [I stayed at his abode a year], and ثَلَاثَ حِجَجٍ كَوَامِلَ [three complete years]. (A.) A2: See also حَجَّةٌ.

[of pauc.] أَــحِجَّةٌ (S, Msb) and [of mult.] ↓ حُجُجٌ, deviating from a general rule, accord. to which a sing. of the measure to which this belongs does not assume this form of pl. because the reduplication is disapproved: also, by poetic license, حَوَاجِجُ, contr. to rule, for حَوَاجُّ. (TA.) The expression فِى

حَجَا حَاجِبٍ ضَمْرٍ is used by poetic license for فى حَجَاجِ حاجب ضمر. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] both words also signify (tropical:) The upper limb of the disk (i. q. حَاجِب) of the sun, appearing when it begins to rise. (A, K, TA: but in the A, only the latter form of the word is given.) b3: Also, [hence,] both words, (tropical:) A side. (A, * K.) Yousay, مَرُّوا بِحِجَاجَىِ الجَبَلِ (tropical:) They passed by the two sides of the mountain. (A.) حِجَاجٌ: see the paragraph next preceding.

And A fracture of the head that has been medically treated, or cured: b2: and also A certain mode of medical treatment, or curing, of such a fracture. (As, TA.) b3: ↓ حُجُجٌ (pl. of حَجِيجٌ, TA) signifies Probed wounds. (K.) b4: and ↓ this same pl., Roads much furrowed [by the feet of beasts or men] (مُحَفَّرَةٌ): (L, K:) but it is uncertain whether its sing., if it have any, be حَجِيجٌ or حِجَاجٌ. (MF.) A2: Also i. q. ↓ مُحَاجٌّ as act. part. n. of حَاجَّ: so in the phrase, أَنَا حَجِيجُهُ I am he who will overcome him by arguments, or proofs, or the like: occurring in a trad. relating to Ed-Dejjál. (TA.) A3: See also حَاجٌّ.

حَجَّاجٌ A frequent performer of the pilgrimage to Mekkeh, and of the religious rites and ceremonies ordained for that occasion: the ا in this word, as in other epithets of the same measure, does not [regularly] admit of imáleh; but when it is used as a proper name, it admits this, agreeably with rule: some pronounce its ا with imáleh even when it is in the nom. or accus. case, contr. to rule. (TA.) حَاجٌّ act. part. n. of 1; Repairing, or betaking himself, to [a person or place]. (Msb.) b2: and hence, (S, Msb,) A man repairing to Mekkeh, (S, K,) or to the Kaabeh, (Msb,) to perform the religious rites and ceremonies of the pilgrimage; (S, Msb, K;) or for the purpose of the عُمْرَة: (Msb: [but see 1:]) [a pilgrim of Mekkeh; or one who has performed the pilgrimage of Mekkeh: see what follows:] as also ↓ حَاجِجٌ, (S, K,) the original form, sometimes used by poetic license: (S:) pl. حُجَّاجٌ and ↓ حَجِيجٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and حُجٌّ; (S, K;) or rather the second of these is a quasi-pl. n., a kind of noun which, as well as the coll. gen. n., is often called by the lexicographers a pl., though not so called by the grammarians: (MF:) حَاجٌّ is also used as a pl., syn. with حُجَّاجٌ, like as سَامِرٌ is with سُمَّارٌ: (Mgh:) it may be considered as a gen. n., and is sometimes a quasi-pl. n., like جَامِلٌ and بَاقِرٌ; (TA;) as is also ↓ حِجٌّ; signifying a company of pilgrims of Mekkeh; or pilgrims, collectively; (ISk, L;) and likewise ↓ حَجٌّ. (So in a marginal note in a copy of the S.) The fem. is ↓ حَاجَّةٌ: pl. حَوَاجُّ: (S, K:) you say حَوَاجُّ بَيْتِ اللّٰهِ when they have performed the pilgrimage; but when they have not yet performed it, [being in the act of performing it,] you say حَوَاجُّ بَيْتَ اللّٰهِ, in which latter case you would say حَوَاجٌّ were not this word imperfectly decl.; [and in like manner, حَاجُّ بَيْتِ اللّٰهِ, and حَاجٌّ بَيْتَ اللّٰهِ;] like as you say ضَارِبُ زَيْدٍ أَمْسِ, and ضَارِبٌ زَيْدًا غَدًا. (S.) [↓ حَاجِّىٌّ, as a n. un. of حَاجٌّ, considering the latter as a coll. gen. n., like رُومٌ, of which the n. un. is رُومِىٌّ is commonly used by the Turks and Persians as signifying a pilgrim of Mekkeh: but I have not found it so used in any classical Arabic work.] You say, أَقْبَلَ الحَاجُّ وَالدَّاجُّ The company of pilgrims to Mekkeh, and of men travelling for mercantile purposes, came. (TA. [See also art. دج.]) And وَلَا دَاجَّةً ↓ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ He left not a company of pilgrims to Mekkeh (جَمَاعَةً حَاجَّةً), nor a company of their followers, or dependents. (TA from a trad. [See also arts. دج and دوج.]) A2: Also Overcoming in [or by] an argument, or a plea, or the like. (Mgh.) حَاجَّةٌ: see حَاجٌّ, in two places: A2: and see also حَجَّةٌ, in two places.

عذر: عذر: في مختارات من تاريخ العرب (ص525): لا تحاربه أعذر به. ويقول السيد غويه في شرحه أن عذر أو أعذر به تعني باللاتينية ما معناه: راقبه وأعرض عنه. وهذا مشكوك فيه فيما يبدو لي.
عَذر: عَذَّر نبت عذاره. وهو جانب لحيته (فوك). عَذَّر (بالتشديد): وبخَّ، أنب، عنف، وبخه أمام القضاء في جلسة سرية (بوشر).
عَذَّر: استصعب القرار. (فوك).
عاذر: نشر، بعث، أشع، طرد، أبعد، نفى، سيرَّ، فصل، عزل، فرق، هجر، أقلع عن، كف عن، تخلى عن. (فوك) ..
أعذر إلى فلان: نبه، حذر، أنذر، ويستعمل بخاصة في الكلام عن العدو وعن الثائر الذي يحذر ويهدد قبل محاربته وينذر ليستسلم. وأصل المعنى: اعتذر إليه قائلاً اعذرني إذا جاوزت الحد ولجأت إلى العنف فأنت الذي حملني على ذلك واضطرني اليه. انظر: (معجم البيان، ومعجم البلاذري. ومعجم الطرائف، ودي ساسي طرائف 2: 88). وفي حيان (ص89 د): وأرسل القائد احمد بن محمد رسله إلى مدينة لورقة متعذراً (معْذِراً) إلى الخبيث ديسم بن اسحق ثم سار إليه في التعبية يريد النزول ساحته (بساحته).
وفي أماري (ص202): وإن أبيتم ما عرضناه عليكم فقد أنذرناكم وأعذرناكم. وفي طرائف دي ساسي (2: 93): فانظر لنفسك فقد أعذرتك مرة بعد أخرى وأنذرتك.
أعذر: في مصطلح الفقه: أخطر وبلغ رسميا أي بلغه بالصورة الرسمية المعروفة أن عليه أن يفعل كذا وكذا.
وقد نشر السيد دي غويه في معجم الطرائف عبارة غريبة للمطرزي تقول: كان أبو يوسف رحمه الله يعمل بالأعذار، أي حسب تفسير دي غويه: اشتكى أحد على السلطان ورفض هذا أن يحضر إلى مجلس القضاء فإن القاضي يرسل إليه رسولاً يصيح أمام باب القصر أن القاضي يقول أجب. ويكرر هذا الكلام عدة أيام متوالية. فإذا أصر السلطان على عدم الحضور عين القاضي وكيلاً يدافع عنه. أنظر المقري (1: 556= محمد بن الحارث ص236).
ويقال أيضاً: أن القاضي اعذر إلى فلان في الشهود (المقري 1: 556) أي أخبره بأسماء الشهود الذين يشهدون عليه.
أعذر في الشهادات: أي أن القاضي يفحص بدقة ويرى إذا كان الشهود عدولاً تقبل شهادتهم.
(المقري 1: 558).
تعذَّر له وعنه: اعتذر. تنصل من الذنب واحتجّ لنفسه (فوك).
تعذَّر: بمعنى صعب وتعسَّر واستحال: انظر عنها: (عباء 1: 98 رقم 132، معجم الماوردي).

تعذّر من: تصعب، تعسرَّ. والمصدر تعذّر من: نفور، اشمئزاز، كراهية، وسواس. تشكك (بوشر).
متعذر الهمات: شديد القلق والهم (معجم مسلم). ولا أستطيع أن أوافق على النص الذي ورد فيه بعد ذلك (ص80). وربما كان صوابه: فتعذِّر عليه تقدُّم آماله فيه، وحينئذ يكون معنى الفعل هو المعنى المألوف أي صعب وتعسرَّ. تعذَّر: نبت عذاره وهو شعر الخد (فوك).
انعذر: خُتِن، أو أصابه العاذور وهو داء يأخذ في الحلق (فوك).
اعتذر، اعتذر إلى فلان: تبرأ، نفى التهمة عن نفسه، برأ نفسه، تنصل بما نسب اليه، وطلب إليه قبول معذرته. (كليلة ودمنة ص260).
اعتذر له عن: في رياض النفوس (ص54 و): قال الأمير لخادمه: لا أستطيع أن أقابلهم وأنا على هذه الحال ألا اعتذرت لهم عني فقال اعتذرت فلم يقبلوا عذري.
استعذر: اعتذر، برر نفسه (الكالا). وفي معجم فوك: استعذر له، وبه، وعنه: اعتذر له، واعتذر به، واعتذر عنه.
استعذر عن فلان: عذره وسامحه وقبل عذره (الكالا).
استعذر: رفض، أبى، أنكر. امتنع على (الكالا).
استعذر في معجم الكالا: ( achacar) ، مُسْتعْذّر: ( achacoso) . وقد فسر نبريجا هذا الفعل الأسباني بقوله: انتهز هذه الفرصة المناسبة، وفسر كلمة الوصف الأسبانية بقوله: عليل، مريض.
ويعني هذا الفعل في معجم فكتور: انتهز الفرصة، وأجبر، حتم، فرض. وأضاف، واتهم بكل مناسبة وموضوع. وفسر الوصف بقوله: من يجد عذارا لكل شيء، ومُسوس، متردد، متشكك، ومعتل، مسقام، معرض للمرض، وأليم، مؤلم، وفسر نونيز في معجمه هذا الفعل بقوله: عزالي، اسند لي: نسب إلى ارجع إلى، وأحال الشيء واسنده إلى ما يظن إنه سببه سواء كان فاعله أو ألته وسيلته. وفسر المصدر بقوله: معتل، مسقام، معرض للمرض. وعليل، عاجز، وغير صحي، مضر بالصحة. وسقيم، واهن الصحة وعليل طريح الفراش.
عذر: انظر عبارة حيان - بسام (3: 50و): التي تقول: وكان الفارس النورمندي يعذب أسيره المسلم بكل أصناف العذاب ليجبره على الإرشاد إلى المكان الذي أخفى فيه كنوزه حتى يبلغ نفسه عُذرها فيه. أي حتى يبلغ الأسير درجة يعذر فيها أمام المسلمين إذا ما كشف عن هذا المكان. ويقول بعد ذلك أن الأسير المسلم أسلم الروح دون أن يكشف عنه.
عذْر: سبب، علة، حجة، باعث (الكالا) يقال مثلاً: سبب يضطر الإمام على الانقطاع عن عمله.
(المقري 1: 938).

عذر: لا أدري معنى عذري عن أو في التي وردت في طبعة بولاق للمقري (1: 942).
عُذر: حيض، طمث، عادة النساء الشهرية.
ويقال أيضاً: عذر النساء أي عادة النساء الشهرية. (بوشر).
عذرة، هو أبو عذرة الشيء (= أبو عُذُر): هو اول من يملكه أو يفعله (المقري 2: 99، وانظر إضافات) وأبو عذرة هو أصل الكلام لكنهم حذفوا التاء عند الإضافة استخفافاً. (محيط المحيط) عذريّ: الهواء (العشق) العذري: حب افلاطوني، حب شديد المثالية، حب عنيف.
(برتون 2: 94، محيط المحيط، المقري 2: 833) وقد أخطأ برتون في شرحه أصل هذه الكلمة فليس هو الحب الذي يعذر (من عذر بمعنى سامح) كما ظن. بل هو الحب عند قبيلة بني عذرة وقد اشتهرت بشدة العشق والعفة فيه. ولم يفهمه مترجم رحلة ابن بطوطة (1: 155، 2: 104) أيضاً.
عذري، وجمعها عذاري: غلام، صبي، مراهق. (بوشر مراكشية).
عِذار أو جمعها أعْذُر: لجام (فوك) وفي معجم الكالا المفرد عُذار.
عَذِير: تصحيف عذيرَ. انظر ديوان الهذليين (ص51، البيت الأول، ص114، البيت الثاني عشر، ص209 البيت الرابع والعشرون).
العنب العذاري: صنف من العنب ويسمى أطراف العذارى أو أصابع العذارى.
(معجم الادريسي، معجم الأسبانية ص2، 7 ابن العوام (: 646) أعذرُ: أتعهد بالمعذرة والمسامحة: ففي الأغاني (ص19): حين ثار أهل المدينة على الخليفة وأرادوا إخراج الوالي منها، قال لهم: ستغلبون وأعْذَرُ لكم ألا تُخْرجوا أميركم. وقد ترجمها كوز جارتن إلى اللاتينية بما معناه: أتعهد لكم بمعذرتكم ومسامحتكم إذا لم تخرجوني من المدينة.
أعذر اليد والرجل: أقطع اليد والرجل. (ابن بطوطة 2: 321).
معذور، وجمعها مَعاذر: أعمى. (فوك).
مَعْذُور: مجنون. (فوك).

عذر

1 عَذَرَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عُذْرٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and عُذُرٌ (S, O, K) and عُذْرَى (O, K) and مَعْذِرَةٌ and مَعْذُرَةٌ (K) [all of which are also used as simple substs.]; and ↓ اعذرهُ; (S, O, Msb, K;) He excused him; freed, cleared, or exempted, him from blame; exculpated him: (Msb:) or he accepted his excuse: properly, عَذَرْتُ signifies I cancelled evil conduct. (TA.) [See also عُذْرٌ below.] You say, عَذَرْتُهُ فِيمَا صَنَعَ (S, O, Msb) I excused, or exculpated, him for what he did. (Msb.) And in a trad. of El-Mikdád it is said, اللّٰهُ إِلَيْكَ ↓ لَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ i.e. Verily God hath excused thee, and exempted thee from the obligation to fight against the unbelievers; for he had become extremely fat, and unable to fight. (TA.) and you say [also], عَذَرَهُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ He excused him for, or from, the thing. (MA.) [And accord. to Golius,عَذَرَهُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ, as well as فِى الشَّىْءِ: but he has not mentioned his authority: see an explanation of عَذِيرٌ, from which the former phrase was perhaps derived by him.] And عَذَرْتُهُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ [I excused him, or held him excusable, for his conduct to such a one]; meaning, I did not blame him, but I blamed such a one. (S, * TA.) And مَنْ يَعْذِرُنِى مِنْهُ Who will excuse me, or make my excuse, if I requite him (Msb, TA) for his action, (Msb,) or for his evil action, (TA,) and will not blame me (Msb, TA) for it? (Msb:) or who will excuse me with respect to his case, and will not blame me for it? (Msb.) [And a similar ex. is mentioned in the TA with فِى in the place of مِنْ.] b2: [Hence,] عَذَرَ, (Az, S, IKtt, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (O, TA;) and ↓ اعذر, (S, IKtt, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِعْذَارٌ; (TA;) He was vitious, or faulty, and corrupt: (Msb:) or he was guilty of many crimes, sins, faults, offences, or acts of disobedience, (S, O, Msb, K,) so as to vender him excusable who punished him. (TA.) It is said in a trad., لَنْ يَهْلِكَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَعْذِرُوا مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ, (O, and so in some copies of the S and K,) or ↓ يُعْذِرُوا, (so in other copies of the S and K, ) both of which readings are the same in meaning, (TA,) i. e. [Men will not perish, or die,] until they are guilty of many crimes, or sins, &c.; (S, O, Msb, K;) meaning, (accord. to A 'Obeyd, S, O,) until they deserve punishment, so as to render excusable him who punishes them. (S, A, O, TA.) And you say, مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ↓ اعذر, meaning He placed himself within the power of another. (TA.) A2: And عَذَرْتُهُ I aided him, or assisted him, against an enemy. (Msb.) A3: عَذَرَ, inf. n. عَذْرٌ, He cut, or cut off. (TA: but only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense is there mentioned.) b2: And [hence, probably, as is implied in a passage in the TA, (see عُذْرَةٌ,)] عَذَرَ, aor. ـِ (S, O, * Msb, K) inf. n. عَذْرٌ; (S, Msb;) and ↓ اعذر; (S, O, Msb, K;) both as expl. by A 'Obeyd; (S;) (tropical:) He circumcised a boy, (S, O, Msb, K,) and in like manner a girl; (S, O, Msb;) but when a girl is the object, خَفَضَ is more common. (S, O.) A4: عَذَرَ الفَرَسَ بِالعِذَارِ, aor. ـِ and عَذُرَ; and ↓ اعذرهُ; He fastened, or bound, the horse's عِذَار [q. v.]: (S, O, K:) and الفَرَسَ ↓ اعذر he bridled the horse; syn. أَلْجَمَهُ; (K, TA;) as also عَذَرَهُ, and ↓ عذّرهُ: (TA:) or ↓ اعذرهُ, (K,) or ↓ عذّرهُ, (thus in the TA,) he put to him [or upon him] an عِذَار; (K, TA;) and so عَذَرَهُ, aor. ـِ and عَذُرَ, inf. n. عَذْرٌ: (Msb:) and ↓ اعذر اللِّجَامَ he put to the لجام [i. e. bridle or bit] an عِذَار. (TA.) b2: And it is said in the Tahdheeb of IKtt that عَذَرْتُ الفَرَسَ, inf. n. عَذْرٌ, signifies I cauterized the horse in the place of the عِذَار: b3: and also حملت على عذاره [an explanation in which there seems to be a mistranscription or an omission, or both; perhaps correctly جَعَلْتُ عَلَى

الفَرَسِ عِذَارَهُ I put upon the horse his عذار; a meaning given above]; and ↓ أَعْذَرْتُهُ is a dial. var. thereof. (TA.) b4: عُذِرَ said of a camel means He was branded with the mark called عِذَار. (TA.) b5: [Hence, app., the phrase عَذَرَهُ بِاللَّوْمِ (assumed tropical:) He branded him with blame; like خَطَمَهُ باللوم, q.v.]

A5: عَذَرَهُ, from العُذْرَةُ, He (God, S) caused him (i. e. a child, TA) to be affected with the pain, in the fauces, termed عُذْرَة: and عُذِرَ He was, or became, affected therewith: (S, K, * TA:) inf. n. عَذْرٌ and عُذْرَةٌ. (IKtt, TA.) 2 عذّر, inf. n. تَعْذِيرٌ, He was without excuse; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ عاذر, (K, TA,) inf. n. مُعَاذَرَةٌ: (TA:) he affected to excuse himself, but had no excuse: he excused himself, but did not adduce an excuse [that was valid]. (TA.) [See also 8.] b2: And He was remiss, wanting, deficient, or defective, (S, O, Msb, TA,) in an affair, (S, Msb,) setting up an excuse [for being so]; (O;) fell short, or did less than was incumbent on him, (S, O, Msb, TA,) in it; (S, Msb;) did not exert himself, or act vigorously, in it; (Msb, TA;) causing it to be imagined that he had an excuse when he had none. (Bd in ix. 91.) You say, قَامَ فُلَانٌ قِيَامَ تَعْذِيرٍ Such a one acted remissly, falling short, or doing less than was incumbent on him. (TA.) And it is said in a story of the Children of Israel, نَهَاهُمْ أَحْبَارُهُمْ تَعْذِيرًا Their learned men forbade them remissly: the inf. n. being here put in the place of the act. part. n. as a denotative of state; as it is in جَآءَ مَشْيًا. (O, TA.) [See also 4.]

A2: Also (tropical:) He made, or prepared, a feast, (O, K,) such as is termed إِعْذَار [q. v.] (O) or عِذَار: (K:) and he invited to a feast such as is thus termed. (K. [Accord. to the TA, these are two distinct significations of the verb. See, again, 4.]) A3: عذّر الفَرَسَ: see 1, latter half, in two places. b2: عَذِّرْ عَنِّى بَعِيرَكَ, (S, O,) and عَنِّى ↓ أَعْذِرْهُ, (O,) Brand thy camel with a brand different from that of mine, in order that our camels may be known, one from the other. (S, O.) b3: عذّر الغُلَامُ The hair of the boy's عِذَار (K, TA) i. e. of his cheek (TA) grew. (K, TA.) A4: عذّر الدَّارَ (inf. n. as above, TA) He effaced the traces of the house, or dwelling. (K, TA.) A5: عذّرهُ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. as above, (S, O,) He defiled, or besmeared, it (a thing, K) with عَذِرَة [or human dung]. (S, O, K.) 3 عَاْذَرَ see 2, first sentence. [And see also the last clause of the last paragraph of this art.]4 اعذر: see 1, in five places from the commencement. b2: Also He had an excuse; [or he was, or became, excusable;] (S, O, K;) and so ↓ اعتذر. (S, O, K.) It is said in a prov., أَعْذَرَ مَنْ أَنْذَرَ [He has an excuse, or is excusable, who warns]. (S. [See also below: and see art. نذر.

It is held by some in the present day that the ا in اعذر, in this phrase, has a privative effect, and that the meaning is, He deprives of excuse who warns: but for this I have not found any authority.]) And Lebeed says, (S, O, TA,) addressing his two daughters, (O, TA,) and telling them to wail and weep a year for him after his death, (TA,) إِلَى الحَوْلِ ثُمَّ اسْمُ السَّلَامِ عَلَيْكُمَا

↓ وَمَنْ يَبْكِ حَوْلًا كَامِلًا فَقَدْ اعْتَذَرْ [Until the end of the year: then the name of peace be an you both: for such as weeps a whole year has become excusable]. (S, O.) You say also, أَعْذَرْتُ عِنْدَ السُّلْطَانِ I got excuse of the Sultán [or ruling power]. (TA.) b3: And He manifested an excuse: (K, TA:) in which sense, عُذْرٌ is said to be its inf. n., as well as إِعْذَارٌ; but the former is correctly a simple subst. (TA.) And He pleaded that by which he should be excused. (TA.) [See also 8.] b4: He did that by which he should be excused. (TA.) b5: He did that in which he should be excused: hence the saying of Zuheyr, *سَتَمْنَعُكُمْ أَرْمَاحُنَا أَوْ سَنُعْذِرُ [Our spears shall prevent you, or shall defend you,] or we will do that in which we shall be excused. (S, O: but in the latter, وَتَمْنَعُكُمْ.) b6: And He exceeded the usual bounds, (A, Mgh, O,) or went to the utmost point, (TA,) in excuse, (A, Mgh, O, TA,) i. e. in being excused. (A.) So in the saying أَعْذَرَ مَنْ أَنْذَرَ [He exceeds the usual bounds in rendering himself excused who warns]. (A, Mgh, O. [See also above, third sentence.]) And it is said in a trad., لَقَدْ أَعْذَرَ اللّٰهُ إِلَى مَنْ بَلَغَ مِنَ العُمُرِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً [app. meaning Verily God hath freed himself from the imputation of injustice to an extraordinary degree, or to the utmost point, to him who hath attained sixty years of age:] i. e. He hath left him no plea for excuse [for his sins], since He hath granted him respite for all this length of time and he hath not excused himself. (TA. [As اعذر is here followed by إِلَى, I do not think that this explanation is meant to show that the ا has a privative effect, and that the verb signifies “ he deprived of excuse. ”]) b7: [Hence,] He exerted himself, acted vigorously, took extraordinary pains, or exceeded the usual bounds, [so as to render himself excused,] (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) فِى الأَمْرِ in the affair; (S, O, Msb;) as, for instance, in eating, in relation to which it occurs in a trad., wherein one is enjoined to do so when eating with others, [app. meaning with guests and with a host,] such having been the custom of the Prophet; for, when he ate with others, he was the last in eating. (TA.) [Hence also,] أَعْذَرْتُ إِلَيْكَ I took extraordinary pains, or exceeded the usual bounds, in exhortation and precept to thee. (TA.) b8: And He was remiss, wanting, deficient, or defective; he fell short, or did less than was incumbent on him; feigning (يُرِى [in the CK, erroneously, يُرىٰ]) that he was doing the contrary: as though the verb bore two contrary significations. (K.) [See also 2.]

A2: Also I. q. أَنْصَفَ: (O, K:) you say, أَعْذِرْنِى مِنْ هٰذَا i. e. أَنْصِفْنِى مِنْهُ [Give thou me, or obtain for me, my right, or due, from this person]: and hence the saying of the Prophet to Aboo-Bekr, respecting 'Áïsheh, أَعْذِرْنِى مِنْهَا إِنْ

أَدَّبْتُهَا [Obtain thou for me my right, or due, from her if I discipline her, or chastise her]: (O:) or this means undertake thou to excuse me [for my conduct to her &c.]: (TA:) and the Arabs say, أَعْذَرَ فُلَانٌ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ [Such a one became bound to render an excuse for his conduct to himself; (see عَذِيرٌ;)] meaning such a one was destroyed by himself. (Yoo, TA.) A3: As signifying He circumcised: see 1, latter half. It is said in a trad., كُنَّا إِعْذَارَ يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ, meaning We were circumcised in one day. (TA.) b2: Also (tropical:) He made a feast on the occasion of a circumcision, (Az, Msb, K, TA,) لِلْقَوْمِ for the people, or party: (K:) he prepared such a feast: from the same verb signifying “ he circumcised. ” (TA.) [See also 2: and see إِعْذَارٌ as a subst.]

A4: اعذر الفَرَسَ and اللِّجَامَ: see 1, latter half, in five places. b2: And أَعْذِرْ عَنِّى بَعِيرَكَ: see 2, near the end. b3: أَعْذِرْ عَلَى نَصِيبِكَ Make a mark upon thy share.

[It is said that] the primary meaning of الاِعْتِذَارُ is The cutting a man off from the object of his want, and from that to which he clings in his heart. (TA.) [Hence, perhaps, one says اعتذر meaning He excused himself for not complying with a claim, or request.] b2: See also 4, in two places, near the beginning. b3: Also He did not adduce an excuse. (Fr, TA.) [Thus it has two contr. significations. See also 2.]

And it was said by Ibráheem En-Nakha'ee, يَشُوبُهَا ↓ إِنَّ المَعَاذِيرَ الكَذِبُ [Verily excuses, lying mixes therewith].

(S, O.) and عَذيرَكَ إِيَّاىَ مِنْهُ Bring thine excuse of me [ for what I have done, &c., to him]. (TA.) A poet (Dhu-l-Isba' El-'Adwánee, O, TA) says, عَذِيرَ الحَىِّ مِنْ عَدْوَا نَ كَانُوا حَيَّةَ الأَرْضِ بَغَى بَعْضٌ عَلَى بَعْضٍ

فَلَمْ يَرْعُوْا عَلَى بَعْضِ فَقَدْ أَضْحَوْا أَحَادِيثَ بِرَفْعِ القَوْلِ وَالخَفْضِ (S, * O, * L, TA) [Bring an excuse for the tribe, for what they have done to 'Adwán, i. e., one to another; for the tribe of 'Adwán were rent by intestine wars, in which Dhu-l-Isba' took a prominent part; (see the Essai sur l' Histoire des Arabes by Caussin de Perceval, vol. ii. p. 262;) therefore we may render the phrase, bring an excuse for the tribe, 'Adwán, regarding مِنْ as redundant in this instance, like as it is in فَاجْتَنِبُوا الرِّجْسَ مِنَ الْأَوْثَانِ, in the Kur xxii. 31; and then proceed thus: they were the serpent of the earth (meaning cunning, guileful, malignant, or mischievous, and strong, not neglecting to take blood-revenge, as expl. in art. حى in the TA): but some acted wrongfully against some, and were not regardful of the rights of some: so they became subjects of talk uttered by the raising of speech and the lowering thereof]: he means, bring an excuse for what some of them have done to some by mutual hatred and slaughter, some of them being not regardful of some; after their having been the serpent of the earth, which every one fears. (L, TA.) b3: Also A state, or condition, (حال,) which one desires, or seeks after, for which, or on account of which, he is to be excused (يُعْذَرُ عَلَيْهَا): (S, O, K, TA:) [and in one of my copies of the S is added, إِذَا فَعَلَهَا, as though by حال were here meant an action:] pl. عُذُرٌ, sometimes, in poetry, contracted into عُذْرٌ. (S, O.) El-'Ajjáj said, (S, O, TA,) in reply to his wife, who, seeing him repairing the saddle of his she-camel for a journey which he had determined to make, asked him, “What is this that thou repairest ? ” (TA,) جَارِىَ لَا تَسْتَنْكِرِى عَذِيرِى

سَعْيِى وَإِشْفَاقِى عَلَى بَعِيرِى (S, O,) or, as some relate it, سَيْرِى واشفاقى, (O,) [i. e. O girl, inquire not as disapproving it respecting my desired state for which I shall be excusable (or rather my excusable purpose), my work (or my journeying), and my benevolent care for my camel;] meaning يَا جَارِيَةُ, [and suppressing يا] and apocopating [جارية]. (S, O. [In the TA, البَعِيرِ is put for بَعِيرِى.]) A2: See also عَاذِرٌ: A3: and إِعْذَارٌ.

عَذِيرَةٌ [A disposition to excuse]. One says, مَا عِنْدَهُمْ عَذِيرَةٌ, meaning [They have not a disposition to excuse; or] they do not excuse. (O.) [See also غَفِيرَةٌ.]

A2: See also عَاذِرٌ: A3: and إِعْذَارٌ. b2: Also I. q. عَدِيرَةٌ [app. as syn. with رَغِيدَةٌ]. (O, TA.) عَذَوَّرٌ (tropical:) Evil in disposition; (S, O, K, TA, and Ham p. 417;) as though needing to excuse himself for his evildoing; (Ham ibid.;) vehement in commanding and forbidding, (Ham p. 469,) and in spirit. (K.) [Clamorous. (Freytag, from the Deewán of Jereer.)] b2: Applied to an ass, Wide in the جَوْف [i. e. belly, or chest], (S, O, K,) and فَحَّاش [app. meaning very lewd]. (K.) b3: And, applied to dominion, (مُلْك, O, TA, in the copies of the K erroneously written مَلِك, TA, [in which and in the O exs. are cited showing the former to be right,]) Wide, or ample: (O:) or strong, (K, TA,) and wide, or ample. (TA.) b4: [Also, accord. to Golius, from the Destoor el Loghah, An agile animal. b5: And Freytag adds, from the Deewán of Jereer, عَذَوَّرَةٌ as signifying Brisk (“ alacris ”).]

عَاذِرٌ: see عَذِيرٌ; and عُذْرٌ, latter half. b2: عَاذِرَةٌ, [fem. of عَاذِرٌ,] as an epithet applied to a woman: see the fem. of مَعْذُورٌ.

A2: Also A scar, or mark of a wound; (S, O, K;) and so ↓ عَذِيرَةٌ, (O, and thus in copies of the S,) or ↓ عَذِيرٌ. (TA, and so in a copy of the S.) One says, تَرَكَ بِهِ عَاذِرًا He, or it, left upon him a scar, or mark of a wound. (TA.) And the same is said of rain, meaning, It left upon him, or it, a mark. (TA.) A3: See also عَذِرَةٌ, in two places.

A4: And العَاذِرُ signifies The vein whence flows the blood of what is termed الاِسْتِحَاضَة: [see 10 in art. حيض:] (S, * O, * Msb, K: *) a dial. var. of العَاذِلُ, or an instance of mispronunciation: (S, O:) or it may be so called because it serves as an excuse for the woman. (TA.) عَاذِرَةٌ, as a subst.: see عَذِرَةٌ.

عَاذُورٌ A brand, or mark made with a hot iron, like a line: pl. عَوَاذِيرُ. (S, O.) A2: And لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ عَاذُورًا is a saying mentioned by As, as meaning I experienced, from him, or it, evil: عَاذُورٌ being a dial. var. of عَاثُورٌ, or an instance of mispronunciation. (S, O.) A3: العَاذُورُ also signifies What is cut off from the place of circumcision of a girl [which place is termed her عُذْرَة]. (O, TA.) A4: See also عُذْرَةٌ, last quarter.

عَاذُورَآءُ: see عُذْرَةٌ, last quarter.

إِعْذَارٌ, (Az, S, A, O, Msb, K,) originally an inf. n., (S, O, Msb,) and ↓ عَذِيرَةٌ (S, A, O, K) and ↓ عَذِيرٌ (A, K) and ↓ عِذَارٌ, (K,) A repast, or food, prepared on the occasion of a circumcision; (Az, S, A, O, Msb, K;) or on some joyful occasion: (Msb:) and the last of these words likewise signifies a repast, or food, prepared on the occasion [of the completion] of a building: and also a repast, or food, which one prepares, and to which he invites his brethren, on the occasion of the acquisition of something new: (O, K:) and accord. to the K, all the other words mentioned above also have, app., the former, or perhaps the latter, of these two meanings, as well as the meaning first mentioned above, which is the most common. (TA.) مَعْذَرٌ; pl. مَعَاذِرُ: see عَذِرَةٌ, second sentence.

مُعْذِرٌ: see مُعْتَذِرٌ, in two places.

مَعْذِرَةٌ and مَعْذُرَةٌ and مَعْذَرَةٌ; and the pl. مَعَاذِرُ: see عُذْرٌ, in five places: and for the first, see also 8.

مُعَذَّرٌ [properly signifying The place of the عِذَار or of the عِذَارَانِ]: see عِذَارٌ, in four places.

مُعَذِّرٌ and مُعِذِّرٌ and مُعُذِّرٌ: see مُعْتَذِرٌ, in six places.

مِعْذَارٌ sing. of مَعَاذِيرُ, (O, K,) which signifies [Excuses, or apologies;] pleas, allegations, or arguments: (K, TA: see عُذْرٌ, in two places:) b2: and also, (K, TA,) in the dial. of El-Yemen, (TA,) Veils, curtains, or coverings. (O, K, TA.) The saying in the Kur [lxxv. 14 and 15], بَلِ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ وَلَوْ أَلْقَى مَعَاذِيرَهُ is expl. as meaning [Nay, the man shall be witness against himself, though he throw] his veils or coverings [over his offences]: (TA:) or (accord. to Mujá-hid, S, O), [though he offer his excuses; or] though he dispute respecting it (S, O, TA) with every plea by which he may excuse himself. (TA.) مَعْذُورٌ Excused; freed, cleared, or exempted, from blame; exculpated. (Msb.) b2: And [hence, perhaps,] مَعْذُورَةٌ applied to a woman signifies مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ [q. v. in art. حيض]: and sometimes one says ↓ عَاذِرَةٌ; as meaning having an excuse: (Msb:) the latter is said to be used in the sense of مُسْتَحَاضَةٌ; but it requires consideration; (O, TA;) as though it were of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ in the sense of مَفْعُولَةٌ, [i. e. in the sense of مَعْذُورَةٌ as meaning excused,] from إِقَامَةُ العُذْرِ. (TA.) b3: [Golius assigns to مَعْذُورٌ the meaning of “ Voti impos; ” as on the authority of the KL; in which, however, I do not find it.]

A2: Also (tropical:) Circumcised. (S, A, O, Msb.) A3: And A camel branded with the mark called عِذَار. (TA.) A4: And [A child] affected with the pain, of the fauces, termed عُذْرَة. (S, O, K.) مُعَاذِرٌ: see its pl. in the last clause of the following paragraph.

مُعْتَذِرٌ One excusing himself, whether he have, or have not, an excuse: (TA:) the person to whom this epithet is applied may be a speaker of truth, and he may be not a speaker of truth: (Msb, TA:) and so ↓ مُعَذِّرٌ, which, as applied to a speaker of truth, signifies having an excuse, like مُعْتَذِرٌ, (S, O, K,) [of which it is a variation,] for the ت is changed into ذ, and this is incorporated [into the radical ذ], and its vowel is transferred to the ع, like as is the case in يَخَصِّمُونَ; (S, O;) and ↓ مُعِذِّرٌ is also allowable, (S, O, TA,) and also ↓ مُعُذِّرٌ; (S, O;) but [it is said that] ↓ مُعَذِّرٌ applied to him who does not speak truth, (S, O, K,) being [originally] of the measure مُفَعِّلٌ, [not a variation of مُعْتَذِرٌ,] (S, O,) means falling short, or doing less than is incumbent on him, (S, O, K,) excusing himself (S, O) without having any [real or valid] excuse. (S, O, K.) In the Kur ix. 91, I'Ab read ↓ المُعْذِرُونَ [instead of the more usual reading ↓ المُعَذِّرُونَ], (S, O, K,) and so did Yaakoob El-Hadramee, (Az, TA,) from أَعْذَرَ; the former asserting that it was so revealed; app. considering ↓ مُعَذِّرٌ, with teshdeed, to apply to one not speaking truth, (S, O, K,) meaning pretending to excuse himself, without having any real excuse; (S, O;) and ↓ مُعْذِرٌ to mean having an excuse: (S, O, K:) Ibn-Abee-Leylà and Tá-oos read ↓ المُعَاذِرُونَ, as meaning those striving, or labouring, in seeking excuse. (O.)

جدب

1 جَدُبَ, (A, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (K,) inf. n. جُدُوبَةٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) It (a place, S, A, K, or a country, or region, Msb,) was, or became, affected with drought, barrenness, or dearth; or with drought, and dryness of the earth; (S, A, Msb, K;) as also جَدِبَ, (A,) inf. n. جَدَبٌ; (KL;) or جَدَبَ; (K;) and ↓ اجدب; (A, K;) or جَدِبَت, aor. ـَ and ↓ أَجْدَبَت; both said of the earth or land (الأَرْض): (Msb:) and ↓ أَجْدَبَتِ البِلَادُ the countries, or regions, were affected with drought, and the prices became high [therein]. (TA.) A2: جَدَبَهُ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (M, Msb, K) and جَدُبَ, (K,) inf. n. جَدْبٌ, (Msb,) He found fault with it; dispraised it; expressed disapprobation of it. (S, M, A, Msb, K.) So in the saying (S, A) relating to 'Omar, (A, TA,) in a trad., (S,) جَدَبَ السَّمَرَ بَعْدَ العِشَآءِ (S) or بَعْدَ العَتَمَةِ (A) [He expressed disapprobation of night-discourse after nightfall, or after the first third of the night reckoned from the disappearance of the redness of the twilight].3 جَادَبَتِ الإِبِلُ العَامَ, (ISk, S, A, TA,) inf. n. مُجَادَبَةٌ, (TA,) The camels experienced, or have experienced, drought, and barrenness, or dryness of the earth, this year, and have become in such a state as not to eat anything but dry and black herbage, dry ثُمَام [or panic grass]: (ISk, S, TA:) or have not met with, or found, anything but what was bad, by reason of drought, and barrenness, or dryness of the earth, this year. (A.) 4 أَجْدَبَ see 1, in three places. b2: أَجْدَبَتِ السَّنَةُ The year became one of drought, barrenness, or dearth; or drought, and dryness of the earth. (A, * TA.) b3: اجدب القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, experienced drought, barrenness, or death; or drought, and dryness of the earth. (S, A, Msb, K.) b4: [Hence,] نَزَلْنَا بِبَنِى فُلَانٍ فَأَجْدَبْنَا (tropical:) We alighted as guests at the abode of the sons of such a one, and found not entertainment with them, though they were in the enjoyment of plenty: (A:) [or] نَزَلْنَا فُلَانًا فَأَجَْبْنَاهُ (assumed tropical:) we alighted as guests at the abode of such a one, and [found that] he did not entertain us. (TA.) [The latter, if correct, is from what next follows.]

A2: اجدب الأَرْضَ He found the land to be affected with drought, barrenness, or dearth; or with drought, and dryness of the earth. (S, A, K.) 5 مَا أَتَجَدَّبُ أَنْ أَصْحَبَكَ (assumed tropical:) I do not deem it disagreeable, or unsuitable, to accompany thee; syn. مَا أَسْتَوْخِمُ. (K.) جَدْبٌ Drought, barrenness, or dearth; contr. of خِصْبٌ; (S;) i. q. مَحْلٌ, (A, Msb, K,) i. e. drought, or suspension of rain, and dryness of the earth; (Msb;) dryness and barrenness of the earth: (Har p. 576:) and ↓ جِدَبٌّ is a name, or subst., for الجَدْبٌ, (K, TA,) meaning المَحْلُ; as in the saying of the rájiz, cited by Sb, لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَرَى جِدَبَّا فِى عَامِنَا بَعْدَ مَا أَخْصَبَّا [Verily I feared to see drought, or barrenness, &c., in this our year, after it had been abundant in herbage]; جِدَبَّا being used for الجَدْبَا; or, accord. to one reading, it is ↓ جَدْبَبَّا, with a doubled ب added; the change being made for the sake of the metre. (M, TA. [Respecting أَخْصَبَّا, see 4 in art. خصب.]) b2: Also A place, (S, A, K,) or a country, or region, (Msb,) affected with drought, barrenness, or dearth; or with drought, and dryness of the earth; and so ↓ جَدِيبٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ جَدُوبٌ and ↓ مَجْدُوبٌ, (K,) the last derived from جُدِبَ though this verb has not been used, (TA,) and ↓ مُجْدِبٌ, (M, A,) of which the pl. is مَجَادِيبُ. (A.) You say also أَرْضٌ جَدْبٌ [in which جدب is an inf. n. (though app. obsolete as such) and therefore applicable to a fem. subst.] (ISd, TA) and جَدْبَةٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ جَدِبَةٌ (A, Msb) and ↓ جَدِيبٌ (Msb) and ↓ جَدُوبٌ (Lh, M, Msb) and ↓ مُجْدِبَةٌ, of which last the pl. is مَجَادِيبُ, (Msb,) A land affected with drought, &c.: (S, M, A, &c.:) and أَرْضُونَ جُدُوبٌ, (S, K,) as though to each part were applied the term جَدْبٌ [used as a subst.] from which is formed the pl. جُدُوبٌ, (TA,) and جَدْبٌ, (K,) which is here an inf. n. used as an epithet [and therefore applicable to a pl. subst.], (TA,) lands affected with drought, &c. (S, K.) And ↓ فَلَاةٌ جَدْبَآءُ [fem. of أَجْدَبُ] (M, K) A desert affected with drought, &c.; (K;) in which is neither little nor much, neither pasture nor herbage. (M, TA.) And ↓ فُلَانٌ جَدِيبُ الجَنَابِ Such a one is environed by a tract affected with drought, &c. (S. [But this phrase is generally used tropically, as meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is ungenerous or illiberal or inhospitable. See art. جنب.]) And سَنَةٌ جَدْبَةٌ (K in art. جرز) and عَامٌ

↓ جَدُوبٌ (M, TA) [A year of drought, &c.]. See also أَجَادِبُ, in two places.

A2: Also i. q. عَيْبٌ [A vice, fault, defect, &c.]; (S, A, K;) a signification which may be either proper or tropical. (Er-Rághib, MF.) أَرْضٌ جَدِبَةٌ: see جَدْبٌ.

أَخَذَ فِى وَادِى جَدَبَاتٍ: see جَذَبَات, in art. جذب.

جِدَبٌّ and جَدْبَبٌّ: see جَدْبٌ.

جَدُوبٌ: see جَدْبٌ, in three places.

جَدِيبٌ: see جَدْبٌ, in three places.

جَادِبٌ Finding fault, dispraising, expressing disapprobation: whence the saying of Dhu-rRummeh, فَيَا لَكَ مِنْ خَدٍّ أَسِيلٍ و مَنْطِقٍ

رَخِيمٍ وَمِنْ خَلْقٍ تَعَلَّلَ جَادِبُهْ meaning [O thou smooth and even cheek, and gentle speech, and make] whereof he who dispraises it occupies himself vainly, finding no defect in it. (S, TA.) b2: It is also said [as in the K &c.] to signify Lying; and the author of the 'Eyn says that it has no verb belonging to it [in this sense]; but this is a mistranscription [for خَادِبٌ]: Az says that جَادِبٌ, with ج, has the signification here first given. (M, TA.) جُنْدَبٌ and جُنْدُبٌ (S, K, &c.) and جِنْدَبٌ, like دِرْهَمٌ, (Sb, M, K,) the last of which is of weakest authority, because of a rare measure, whereof it has been said that there are only four examples: (TA:) in all of them the ن is said by some to be radical; but others, with more reason, hold it to be augmentative: (MF:) Sb says that it is augmentative: (S:) A species of locust, (S, K,) well known: (K:) or the male locust: or small locust: or, accord. to Seer, i. q. صَدًى [a kind of cricket], that creaks by night, and hops and flies: [but see صَدًى:] or, accord. to the M, it is smaller than the صدى, and is found in the deserts: pl. جَنَادِبُ. (TA.) صرّ الجندب [i. e. صَرَّ الجُنْدَبُ The جندب creaked] is a saying of the Arabs, used as a proverb; alluding to a difficult affair by which a person is troubled in mind; originating from the fact that the جندب, when its feet are scorched by the heated ground, does not keep them steadily upon it, and a creaking sound is consequently heard, produced by its legs. (TA.) b2: أُمُّ جُنْدَبٍ The sand; because the locust [or جندب] deposits its eggs therein: and the walker therein falls into evil [or encounters difficulty]. (TA.) b3: [Hence it signifies also] Misfortune: (S, M, K:) and perfidy, or faithlessness, or treachery: (M, K:) and wrong, or injury: (S, M, K:) and evil conduct, or ill treatment. (S.) You say, وَقَعَ فُلَانٌ فِى

أُمِّ جُنْدَبٍ Such a one fell into misfortune: or into perfidy. (TA.) And وَقَعُوا فِى أُمِّ جُنْدَبٍ

They suffered wrong, or injury. (Az, S, K.) And وَقَعَ القَوْمُ جُنْدَبٍ The people, or company of men, committed wrong, or injury, and slew him who was not a slayer: (TA:) [as though they came with violence upon sand in which eggs of the جندب were deposited, and so destroyed the eggs, which had occasioned them no harm.] And رَكِبَ أُمَّ جُنْدَبٍ He committed wrong, or injury. (TA.) أَجْدَبُ i. q. جَدْبٌ as syn. with جَدِيبٌ: fem.

جَدْيَآءُ. Hence,] فَلَاةٌ جَدْيَآءُ: see جَدْبٌ. b2: [Hence also,] سَنَةٌ جَدْبَآءُ A year of much snow. (L in art. شهب.) b3: أَجْدَبُ is [also] said in the M to be [used as] a subst. applied to what is termed مُجْدِب [i. e. as syn. with the latter word used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant; app. meaning A place, or the like, affected with drought, &c.]. (TA.) b4: [Also, as a comparative and superlative epithet, meaning More, and most, affected with drought, &c.; contr. of أَخْصَبُ.]

أَجَادِبُ, in a trad., where it is said, وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ

أَجَادِبُ أَمْسَكَتِ المَآءِ, (K, * TA,) or وكانت فِيهَا, (TA,) [And there were in it اجادب that retained the water], is said to be pl. of أَجْدُبٌ, which is pl. of ↓ جَدْبٌ, (K, TA,) like as أَكَالِبُ is pl. of أَكْلُبٌ, which is pl. of كَلْبٌ; (TA;) and signifies hard parts of the ground, that retain water, and do not imbibe it quickly; or, as some say, land having no plants or herbage, from ↓ جَدْبٌ meaning “ drought ” &c: the word is thus written in the two Saheehs, of El-Bukháree and Muslim: (IAth, TA:) but some say that it is an anomalous pl. of جَدْبٌ, like as مَحَاسِنُ is of حُسْنٌ: and there are other readings; namely, أَجَاذِبُ and أَحَادِبُ and أَحَازِبُ and أَجَارِدُ, pl. of أَجْرَدُ, and إِخَاذَاتٌ, pl. of إِخَاذَةٌ. (MF, TA.) مُجْدِبٌ, and its fem., with ة: see جَدْبٌ.

مِجْدَابٌ Land scarely ever, or never, abundant in herbage, or in the goods, conveniences, or comforts, of life; scarcely ever, or never, fruitful, or plentiful. (K.) مَجْدُوبٌ: see جَدْبٌ.
