S.)
b7: And ضَحِىَ, (
S,
K,)
inf. n. ضَحًى [or ضَحًا], He (a man,
S) sweated. (
S,
K.) 2 ضَحَّيْنَاهُمْ is like صَبَّحْنَاهُمْ [i. e. it signifies We came to them in the time of the morning called الضُّحَى]: (
TA:) and ↓ ضاحاهُ, (
K,
TA,)
inf. n. مُضَاحَاةٌ, is similar to غَادَاهُ and رَاوَحَهُ, meaning, (
TA,) He came to him in the time called الضُّحَى. (
K,
TA.)
b2: ضحّى الغَنَمَ He pastured the sheep, or goats, in the time called الضُّحَى; (

TA.)
b3: [Hence,] ضَحَّيْتُهُ,

K,
TA:) or I fed him with the [morning-meal called] غَدَآء, at any time [of the morning]; but more commonly known as meaning, in the time called الضُّحَى: and the verb primarily relates to camels [and sheep or goats]: or ضحّى قَوْمَهُ means he fed his people, or party, with the [morning-meal called] غَدَآء; or he invited them [thereto, i. e.] to his ضَحَآء. (
TA.)
b4: IAth says, when the Arabs, in their journeying, or migrating, passed by a piece of land in which was herbage, one of them said, أَلَا ضَحُّوا رُوَيْدًا, meaning [Now] be ye gentle with the camels ↓ حَتَّى نَتَضَحَّى i. e. in order that we may obtain of this herbage; then التَّضْحِيَةُ was applied to mean the being gentle in order that the camels may reach the place of alighting [
app. in the morning] having satisfied themselves with food: and then ↓ تَضَحَّى was said of anyone as meaning he ate in the time called [الضُّحَى or] الضَّحَآء. (

TA:) or the meaning is, slaughter thou, or sacrifice thou, [deliberately, leisurely, or] without haste: (
Meyd:) [for]
b5: ضحّى,
inf. n. تَضْحيَةٌ, signifies [also] He slaughtered, or sacrificed, the [victim termed] أُضْحِيَّة, in the time called الضُّحَى: and hence, by reason of frequency of usage, he did so in any time of what are termed أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ: (
Msb:) and ضحّى
بِشَاةٍ, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) or بِكَبْشٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ, (
Mgh,) he slaughtered, or sacrificed, a sheep or goat, (
S,
Msb,
K,) or a ram or other [victim], (
Mgh,) in the time called الضُّحَى (

4 اضحى He (a man,
TA) entered upon the time of morning called الضُّحَى, (
K, *
TA,) or the time called الضَّحْوَة, (
TA,) [or the time called الضَّحَآء, for] you say, أَقَمْتُ بِالمَكَانِ حَتَّى أَضْحَيْتُ, from الضَّحَآءُ [and therefore meaning I remained in the place until I entered upon the time called الضَّحَآء], like as you say أَصْبَحْتُ from الصَّبَاحُ. (
S,
TA.) Hence the saying of 'Omar, أَضْحُوا لِصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى, (
S,) or بِصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى, (
TA,) i. e. Perform ye the prayer of the time called الضحى at its [proper] time: do not delay it until the time called الضَّحَآء has become advanced: (
TA:) or do not perform that prayer when the time called الضُّحَى has become advanced. (
S.)
b2: And you say, اضحى فُلَانٌ يَفْعَلُ كَذَا, (
S,
M,
K,) like as you say ظَلَّ يفعل كذا; (
S;) meaning Such a one became occupied, or engaged, in the time called الضُّحَى in doing such a thing: (
M,
K,
TA:) or did such a thing in the first part of the day, (
IKtt,
TA.)
b3: [This phrase often means also Such a one became occupied, or engaged, in doing such a thing; betook, set, or applied, himself to doing such a thing; set about, or commenced, doing such a thing; or began to do such a thing; like أَصْبَحَ and ظَلَّ &c. And, like these verbs, اضحى followed by an
aor. , or by a part.
n. in the
accus. case, often requires to be rendered simply He, or it, became: see an
ex. in a verse cited
voce دَفِئٌ.]
b4: اضحى also signifies He performed the supererogatory act of prayer (النَّافِلَة) in the time called الضُّحَى. (
TA.)
b5: See also 1, last sentence but one.
b6: One says also, اضحى عَنِ الأَمْرِ, meaning (
tropical:) He withdrew himself far from the affair. (
TA. [See also another meaning of this phrase in what follows.]) And القَطا يُضْحِى عَنِ المَآءِ (
tropical:) The birds called قطا go far from water. (
TA.)
A2: اضحى الشَّىْءَ He made apparent, showed, or revealed, the thing. (
K,
TA.) And عَنِ الأَمْرِ ↓ ضحّى He made the affair, or case, apparent, or manifest: and [so اضحى عَنْهُ, for] one says, أَضْحِ لِى عَنْ أَمْرِكَ, with fet-h to the ء, meaning Make manifest to me thy affair, or case: so in the
M. (
TA.)
b2: لَا أَضْحَى
اللّٰهُ لَنَا ظِلَّكَ is a deprecatory phrase [
lit. May God not cause thy shadow to become sun to us: meaning (assumed
tropical:) may God not deprive us of thee by death: (see ضَحَا ظِلُّهُ:) or it may be similar in meaning to the phrase here following]. (
TA.) لَا تُضْحِنَا عَنْ ظِلِّكَ [
lit. Make us not to go forth into the sun from thy shadow] means (assumed
tropical:) withdraw not from us the shadow of thy compassion: the verb being made
trans. by means of عن because the phrase implies the meaning of لَا تُخْرِجْنَا مِنْهُ: and ظلّ being here used metaphorically. (
Har p. 4.) 5 تَضحّى: see 1, latter half.
b2: And see 2, in two places. It [generally] means He ate in the time of morning called الضُّحَى: (
K:) or he ate the [morning-meal called] غَدَآء;
syn. تَغَدَّى: (
S,
TA:) and ↓ ضحّى also has the former [or the latter] meaning. (
ISd,
TA.) 10 إِسْتَ1ْ2َ3َ see 1, latter half.
ضَحْوٌ: see the next paragraph.
ضُحًى, also written ضُحًا, held by some to be of the measure فُعَلٌ, and by others to be [originally ضُحْوًى i. e.] of the measure فُعْلًى, of the former measure
accord. to
Mbr, and of the latter
accord. to
Th, (
MF,
TA,) [The early part of the forenoon, after sunrise:
accord. to some, when the sun is yet low:
accord. to others, when the sun is somewhat high:]
i. q. ↓ ضَحْوَةٌ,
accord. to most authorities: (
MF,
TA, and so in one place in the
K:) or this latter signifies the period of the day after sunrise: (
S:) or this signifies the advanced state of the day (اِرْتِفَاعُ النَّهَارِ [which is said by the doctors of the law in the present day to mean when the sun has risen the measure of a رُمْح,
q. v., or more]); as also ↓ ضَحْوٌ and ↓ ضَحِيَّةٌ: (
K:) and the ضُحَى is after the ضَحْوَة (
S,
K) a little, (
K,) when the sun shines brightly: (
S:) or from sunrise to the time when the day is advanced and very white: thus in the
M: (
TA:) or it is the spreading of the sun [upon the earth], and the extending of the day: and the time [thereof] is thus named: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) or ضُحًى is
pl. of ↓ ضَحْوَةٌ, like as قُرًى is of قَرْيَةٌ; and its
sing. is like ↓ ضَحَآءٌ, which means the extending of the day, and is of the
masc. gender, as though a name of the time [thereof]: then ضُحًى became used as a
sing., and the time was thus called: (
Msb:) it is
fem. and
masc.: (
S,
K: *) he who makes it
fem. holds it to be
pl. of ↓ ضَحْوَةٌ; and he who makes it
masc. holds it to be [a
sing.] noun of the measure فُعَلٌ, like صُرَدٌ and نُغَرٌ: (
S:) its
dim. is ↓ضُحَىٌّ, without ة; (
Fr,
Msb,
K;) for they disapproved the affixing the ة lest it should be confounded with the
dim. of ضَحْوَةٌ. (
Fr,
Msb.) Using it as an adv. noun, you say, لَقِيتُهُ ضُحَى, when you mean [I met him] in the ضحى of this day; without tenween. (
S,
TA.) See also ضَحْوَةٌ. [See also De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., sec. ed., i. 162-167, respecting the prayer that is performed in the time thus called, i. e. the prayer termed صَلَاةُ الضُّحَى, mentioned above,
voce أَضْحَى.]

M,
Msb,
K:) because of its appearing in the time thus called. (
M,
TA.) One says, اِرْتَفَعَتِ الضَّحَى, meaning The sun became high. (
Msb.)
b3: and ضُحَى الشَّمْسِ The light of the sun: thus is
expl. xci. 1. of the
Kur. (
TA.)
b4: مَا لِكَلَامِهِ ضُحًى means (assumed
tropical:) His speech, or language, has no perspicuity: thus in the
M and
K: but in the
A, ↓ أَنْشَدَنِى شَعْرًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ
حَلَــاوَةٌ وَلَا ضَحَآءٌ i. e. [He recited to me poetry] in which was no [sweetness nor] plainness of meaning. (
TA.) ضَحْوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places. You say, أَتَيْتُكَ ضَحْوَةً, meaning [I came to thee] in a [time called] ↓ ضُحًى [or rather ضَحْوَة], (
K, *
TA,) with tenween, unless you mean of this day [in which case you say ضَحْوَةٌ, without tenween, like as you say in the latter case ضُحَى]. (
TA.) ضَحْيَا and ضَحْيَآءُ fems. of أَضْحَى [
q. v.].

S:) or the period near midday: (
K:) or the period of the day when the sun has risen to the fourth part of the sky: (
TA:) see also ضُحًى, in two places.
b2: And hence, The [morning-meal called]
غَدَآء; because it is eaten in the time thus called. (
S,
TA.) [And also applied to Pasture eaten in that time:] see 2, third sentence.

K,) and ضَحْيَا with the short ا, both mentioned by
ISd, (
TA,) and ↓ إِضْحِيَانَةٌ, (
S,
K,) and ↓ إِضْحِيَةٌ
