1 رَفَعَهُ, (
S,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـَ (
K,
TA,)
inf. n. رَفْعٌ, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,) He raised it: [this is generally the best rendering, as it serves to indicate several particular significations which will be found explained in what follows:] he elevated it; upraised it; uplifted it: he took it up:
contr. of خَفَضَهُ: (
Msb:) or of وَضَعَهُ: (
S,
Mgh,
K:) as also ↓ رفّعهُ, (
K,)
inf. n. تَرْفِيعٌ; (
TA;) and ↓ ارتفعهُ; (
K;) for
accord. to the “ Nawádir,” you say, ارتفعهُ بِيَدِهِ and رَفَعَهُ [he raised it, lifted it, heaved it, or took it up, with his hand]; but
Az says that ارتفع is
intrans., and that he has heard no authority for its being
trans., in the sense of رَفَعَ, except that which he had read in the “ Nawádir el-Aaráb:” (
TA:) رَفْعٌ is sometimes applied to corporeal things, meaning the raising, or elevating, a thing from the resting-place thereof: sometimes to a building, meaning the rearing it, uprearing it, or making it high or lofty: (
Er-Rághib:) or in relation to corporeal things, it is used properly to denote motion, and removal: (
Msb:) it signifies the putting away or removing or turning back a thing after the coming or arriving thereof; like as دَفْعٌ signifies the putting away or removing or turning back a thing before the coming or arriving [thereof]: (
Kull p. 185:) but in relation to ideal things, it is [tropically used, as it is also in many other cases, and] accorded in meaning to what the case requires. (
Msb.) [In its principal senses, proper and
tropical, رَفْعٌ agrees with the Latin Tollere..] It is said in the
Kur [ii. 60 and 87], رَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ We raised above you from its resting-place the mountain: and in the same [xii. 2], اَللّٰهُ الَّذِى رَفَعَ السَّمٰوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا [God is He who raised the heavens without pillars that ye see; or, as ye see them]: and in the same [ii. 121], وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرٰهِيمُ القَوَاعِدَ مِنَ البَيْتِ [And when Abraham] was rearing or uprearing or making high or lofty [the foundations of the House of God, at Mekkeh]. (
Er-Rághib.) And you say, اِرْفَعْ هٰذَا Take thou this: (
Mgh:) or take it and carry it [away; or take it up and remove it]. (
TA.) And رَفَعَ الزَّرعَ, (
Lh,
K,) or رَفَعَهُ إِلَى البَيْدَرِ, (
Msb,)
aor. ـَ (
Lh,)
inf. n. رَفْعٌ (
Lh,
S) and رِفَاعَةٌ and رِفَاعٌ [perhaps a mistranscription for رَفَاعُ, which see below], (
Lh,
TA,) He removed, or transported, the seed-produce from the place in which he had reaped it, (
Lh,) or carried it after the reaping, (
S,
K,) to the place in which the grain was to be trodden out. (
Lh,
S,
K.) [This last signification is said in the
TA to be
tropical; but according to a passage of the
Msb quoted in the first sentence of this art., it is proper. In most of the phrases here following, the verb is undoubtedly used tropically.]
b2: رَفَعُوا إِلَىَّ عُيُونَهُمْ (
tropical:) [They raised towards me their eyes]. (
TA.)
b3: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِى
رَأْسًا (
Mgh,
TA *) (
tropical:) I went in to such a one, and he did not look towards me, nor pay any regard, or attention, to me. (
Mgh.) [بِى is not here a mistake for لِى, for the phrase is often found thus written.]
b4: رُفِعَ لِىَ الشَّىْءُ (assumed
tropical:) [The thing was, as it were, raised into view, i. e. it rose into view, to me;] I saw the thing from afar. (
TA.)

aor. ـَ
inf. n. رَفْعٌ, (
tropical:) The mirage raised, or elevated [to the eye, (see an
ex. near the end of the first paragraph of art. زول)] the figure of a man or some other thing seen from a distance; [or it may be allowable to render it, made it to appear tall, and as though quivering, vibrating, or playing up and down;]
syn. زَهَاهُ [of which, when it relates to the mirage, the meaning is best expressed by the latter of the two explanations here given]. (
TA.)
b6: وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ, in the
Kur [xliii. 31], means (assumed
tropical:) And we have exalted some of them above others in degrees of rank, or station: and نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ
مَنْ نَشَآءُ, in the same, [vi. 83, and xii. 76,] (assumed
tropical:) We exalt in degrees of rank, or station, whom We please: (
Er-Rághib:) and وَاللّٰهُ يَرْفَعُ مَنْ يَشَآءُ وَيَخْفِضُ (assumed
tropical:) And God exalteth whom He pleaseth, and abaseth: (
S and
TA:) and [in like manner,] رَفْعُ الذِّكْرِ means the exalting of one's fame; as in the
Kur xciv. 4. (
Er-Rághib.) But the words, وَإِلَى السَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ, in the
Kur [lxxxviii. 18], indicate two meanings; And to the heaven, how it is elevated in respect of its place; and (assumed
tropical:) how it is exalted in respect of excellence, and exaltation of rank. (
Er-Rághib.) [In like manner also,] فِى بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللّٰهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ, in the
Kur [xxiv. 36], means In houses which God hath permitted to be built; (
Bd,
TA;)
accord. to some: (
TA:) or, (assumed
tropical:) to be honoured; (
Zj,
Bd;) so says El-Hasan; (
Zj;) or, (assumed
tropical:) to be exalted in estimation. (
Er-Rághib.) It is said in a
trad., إِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَرْفَعُ العَدْلَ وَيَخْفِضُهُ (assumed
tropical:) Verily God exalteth the just, and maketh him to have the ascendency over the unjust, and at one time abaseth him, so that He maketh the unjust to overcome him, in order to try his creatures, in the present world. (

S voce رَبَأَ,
q. v.)
b7: رَفَعَ اللّٰهُ عَمَلَهُ (assumed
tropical:) [God honoured his work by acceptance; or] God accepted his work. (
Msb.) It is said in the
Kur [xxxv. 11], وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ (assumed
tropical:) And righteous work He will accept: (
Jel:) or the meaning is يَرْفَعُ العَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ الكَلِمَ الطَّيَّبَ (assumed
tropical:) [righteous work will cause praise, or the like, (mentioned immediately before the above-cited words of the
Kur,) to ascend, and obtain acceptance]: (Mujáhid,
TA:) Katádeh says, [that the meaning is,] speech will not be accepted without work. (
TA.)
b8: رَفْعٌ Also signifies (assumed
tropical:) The bringing a thing near; or presenting, or offering, it;
syn. تَقْرِيبٌ. (
S.) And hence, رَفَعْتُهُ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ, (

TA,) (
tropical:) I presented him to, or brought him before, or brought him forward to, the Sultán, (

S K,)
inf. n. مُرَافَعَةٌ, (
TA,) [in like manner] signifies (
tropical:) he preferred a complaint against him to the governor, or judge: (
K:) or (
tropical:) he presented him to, or brought him before, or brought him forward to, the governor, or judge, to arraign him and contest with him, and preferred a complaint against him: (

accord. to

إِلَيْهِ), the latter doing the same with him. (

b11: And hence, رَفَعَ الحَدِيثَ
إِلَى النَّبِىِّ (
tropical:) [He traced up, or ascribed, or attributed, the tradition to the Prophet, mentioning, in ascending order, the persons by whom it had been handed down, up to the Prophet; in the manner more fully explained in the sentence here next following]. (

tropical:) He traced up, or ascribed, or attributed, the tradition to the author thereof, by mentioning him, or by mentioning, uninterruptedly, in ascending order, the persons by whom it had been transmitted, up to the Prophet; or by mentioning the person who had related it to him from the Prophet if only one person intervened, saying, “Such a one told me, from such a one,” (and so on if more than one intervened between him and the Prophet,) “ from the Apostle of God; ” or with an interruption in the mention of the persons by whom it had been transmitted].

K and in the O and
TA in art. بلغ; but in one copy of the
S and in the
TA in the present art., I find in its place عَلَيْنَا, and so in the
CK in art. بلغ, where the verb preceding it is erroneously written رُفِعَتْ; and in the
L, in the place of الينا is put عَنَّا; of all which three readings I prefer the first; though the last is agreeable with an explanation of رَفَعْتُهُ given in the
Msb and in the sentence next following;]) i. e. (assumed
tropical:) Every company of men (جَمَاعَة,
S,
TA), or person (نَفْس,

inf. n. of the
intrans. verb رَفَعَ [
q. v. infrà] said of a camel (
