Kur [lxvii. 27], means This is that on account of which ye used to assert vain and false things: or which ye used to deny, or disbelieve: or,
accord. to
Fr, the latter verb may here be used in the sense of تَدْعُونَ; and the meaning may be, this is that which ye desired to hasten, and for which ye prayed to God in the words of the
Kur [viii. 32], “O God, if this be the truth from Thee, then rain Thou upon us stones from Heaven, or bring upon us some [other] painful punishment: ” it may be from الدُّعَآءُ: and it may be from الدَّعْوَى: (
TA:) [i. e.] it means this is that which ye used to demand, and desire to hasten; from الدُّعَآءُ: or that which ye used to assert, [namely,] that there will be no raising to life; from الدَّعْوَى. (
Bd.) And وَلَهُمْ مَا يَدَّعُونَ, in the

ـدَاعِــى; (
TA;) i. e. the saying “ I am such a one the son of such a one. ” (
S.) And [hence] sometimes it includes the meaning of Informing, or telling; and therefore بِ may be prefixed to its
objective complement; so that one says, فُلَانٌ يَدَّعِى بِكَرَمِ فِعَالِهِ, i. e. Such a one informs of the generosity of his deeds. (
Msb.) 10 إِسْتَدْعَوَ see 1, near the middle of the paragraph.

دَاعِــيَةٌ being an

TA:) thus pronounced by most of the Arabs, except 'Adee of Er-Rabáb, who pronounce it, in this sense, ↓ دِعْوَةٌ: (A 'Obeyd,
S,
M,
Msb:) it is an
inf. n. in this sense, (
S,) or a simple
subst.: (
Msb:) and ↓ دُعْوَةٌ signifies the same; (
K;) or, as some say, this, which is given as on the authority of
Ktr, is a mistake: (
TA:) and so does ↓ مَدْعَاةٌ [
app. an

S,
Msb,
K.) You say, كُنَّافِى
دَعْوَةِ فُلَانٍ and ↓ مَدْعَاتِهِ, meaning [We were included in] the invitation (دُعَآء [see 1]) of such a one to food: (

Mgh,
K,
TA:) the
pl. of دَعْوَى is دَعَاوٍ and دَعَاوَى; the former of which is preferable
accord. to some, being, as
IJ says, the original form; but some say that the latter is preferable: (
Msb:) [the latter only is mentioned in the
Mgh:] the alif in the
sing. [written ى] is a sign of the
fem. gender; and therefore the word is without tenween. (
Mgh.)
Yz mentions the sayings, لِى فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ دَعْوَى I have, in respect of this thing, [a claim or] a demand, and دَعَاوَى or دَعَاوٍ [claims or] demands, as written in different copies. (

K: *)
Ks says that it is from دَعَوْتُ, and [properly] means لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَنْ يَدْعُو [there is not in it one who calls, &c.]. (
