(Msb.) It is said of the heavens and the earth, in the Kur [xxi. 31], كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا [expl. in art. رتق]. (O, TA.) b2: And (hence, TA) الفَتْقُ signifies (tropical:) The effecting of disunion and dissension among the community (T, S, O, K, TA) of the Muslims, (T, TA,) and the befalling of war (S, O, K, TA) among them, (S, O,) after verbal agreement respecting war on the frontier, or some other thing, (T, TA,) with the occurring of wounds and bloodsheddings. (TA.) One says, فَتَقَ فُلَانٌ بَيْنَهُمْ Such a one effected disunion, &c., between them, or among them, (TK.) b3: And sometimes it means (tropical:) The dissolving of a compact, or covenant.

(TK.) b2: And فَتِقَ العَامُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. فَتَقٌ, (tropical:) The year was, or became, abundant with herbage. (S, * O, * K, TA.) It is related by Abu-l-Jowzà that the people were afflicted with drought, and complained to 'Áïsheh, who directed them to make an aperture towards the sky in the tomb of the Prophet, and they did so, and thereupon it rained so that the herbage grew, and the camels became fat to such a degree that they became swollen, or inflated, in the flanks (تَفَتَّقَتْ); whence it [the year] was called عَامُ الفَتَقِ. (O, TA.) 2 فَتَّقَ see the preceding paragraph, first sentence: b2: and see also فُتُقٌ. b3: فتّق الكَلَامَ (tropical:) He rectified the language; or trimmed it, and removed its faults, or defects: or, as Zj says, he made its meaning clear.

(TA.) b5: And افتق (tropical:) He went forth to a فَتْق, or an open, and a spacious, place: (O, K, TA:) a verb, in this sense, similar to أَصْحَرَ and أَفْضَى. (O, TA.)
