Msb,
K,
TA.) The latter
pl. is sometimes used as meaning (assumed
tropical:) Young and ignorant persons; like as كِبَاشٌ is used as meaning aged and learned persons. (

prov., كَالْخَرُوفِ
أَيْنَمَا اتَّكَأَ عَلَى صُوفٍ [Like the lamb: wherever he reclines, he reclines upon wool]: (
JK,
TA: but in the latter, اتّكى:) applied to him who leads a soft and delicate life. (
TA.)
b2: Also, (sometimes,
S,) A colt; the male offspring of a mare; when he has attained the age of six months, or seven months; (
S,
K;) a meaning assigned to it by
As, in the “ Book of the Horse; ” but unknown to Abu-l-Ghowth: (
S:) or, until a year old: (
ISk,
K:) it is said by some to be applied to a horse: in the
L it is said that the خروف of horses is such as is brought forth in the [season called] خَرِيف: but
Khálid Ibn-Jebeleh says that it means such as pastures upon the [herbage of the season called] خَرِيف: and
Suh thinks that it is an
epithet applied to a horse, and any beast, as meaning that depastures the trees and herbage. (
TA.) خَرِيفٌ Fresh ripe dates, (
K,
TA,) or fruits [in general], (
S,
TA,) gathered, or plucked; (
S,
K,
TA;) as also ↓ مَخْرُوفٌ. (

Mgh,) the division (
Msb) [consisting of] three months between the end of the قَيْظ [or summer] and the beginning of the شِتَآء
[or winter], (
Lth,
K, *) in which the fruits are gathered. (
Lth,
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K.)
b5: And hence, (
Mgh,
TA,) (assumed
tropical:) A year: (
Mgh,
K,
TA:) so in the saying, مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِى سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ بَاعَدَهُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا أَوْ سَبْعِينَ, i. e. [Whoso fasteth a day in the way of God, God will remove him from the fire of Hell] to the distance of a journey of forty years, or seventy. (

ex. voce إِنَّ.)
b6: Also The rain of the season so called: (
S,
K:) or the rain, (
JK,) or the first of the rain, (
K,) in the beginning of the شِتَآء [or winter], (
JK,
K,) which comes at the time of the cutting off of the fruit of the palmtrees: then follows the وَسْمِىّ, at the coming in of the winter; then, the رَبِيع; then, the صَيْف; and then, the حَمِيم: so says
As: El-Ghanawee says that the خريف is between the [auroral] rising of الشِّعْرَى [or Sirius, which commenced, in central Arabia, about the epoch of the Flight, on the 13th of July, O.
S.,] and the [auroral] setting of العَرْقُوَتَانِ [or الفَرْغَانِ, the 26th and 27th of the Mansions of the Moon, commencing, in the same region and period, on the 8th and 21st of Sept., O.
S., and continuing thirteen days]: El-Ghowr and Rekeeyeh [? (imperfectly written)] and El-Hijáz are all rained upon by the خريف; but Nejd is not:
Az says, the first rain is the وَسْمِىّ; the follows the شَتَوِىّ; then, the
دَفَئِــىّ; then, the صَيْف; then, the حَمِيم; then, the خَرِيف: and therefore the year is made to consist of six seasons:
accord. to
AHn, [who seems in this matter to differ from most others,] الخريف is not originally the name of the division of the year; but the name of the rain of the قَيْظ [or summer]; and then the season was named thereby. (
TA.) [See also نَوْءٌ.]
b7: [Also The herbage of the season so called, or of the rain so called; like as رَبِيعٌ signifies the “ herbage of the season, or of the rain, so called. ” So in the phrase used by

accord. to
AA, (
TA,) A rivulet, streamlet, or small channel for irrigation. (
JK,
K,
TA.) خُرَافَةٌ

q. v. (

Mgh,) and carried off, (
TA,) and who related what he had seen, (
S,
Mgh,
K,) of them, when he returned, (
Mgh,) and they pronounced him a liar, and said, (
S,
Mgh,
K,) of a thing that was impossible, (
Mgh,) حَدِيثُ خُرَافَةَ [a story of Khuráfeh]: (
S,
Mgh,
K:) but it is related of the Prophet, that he said, خُرَافَةُ حَقٌّ, (
S,
Mgh,) meaning What Khuráfeh relates [as heard] from the Jinn [is true]: (
Mgh:) the ر is without teshdeed; and the article ال is not prefixed, because the word is determinate [by itself], unless one mean thereby خُرَافَاتٌ as signifying fictictious night-stories: (
S:) or خُرَافَةٌ signifies a fictitious story that is deemed pretty: (
Lth,
K:) [and ↓ أَخَارِيفُ
app. signifies the same as خُرَافَاتٌ, as though its
sing. were أُخْرُوفَةٌ, like as أَسَاطِيرُ and أَحَادِيثُ, which have similar meanings, are pls. of which the sings. are said to be أَسْطُورَةٌ and أُحْدُوثَةٌ:] see 1, last signification.
خَرُوفَةٌ: see what next follows.
خَرِيفَةٌ and ↓ خَرُوفَةٌ A palm-tree (نَخْلَةٌ) of which a man gathers, or plucks, the fruit for himself and his household; as also ↓ مَخْرَفٌ: (
AHn:) or a palm-tree which one takes for the picking up of its fresh ripe dates: (
Sh,
O,
K:) or the latter signifies a palm-tree of which the fruit is cut off; being of the measure فَعُولَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ: and the former is said to signify one that is set apart for its fruit that is [to be] gathered, or plucked: (
TA:) or a selected palm-tree: (
JK:) and its
pl. is خَرَائِفُ: (
JK,
TA:) or خَرَائِفُ signifies palmtrees whereof the quantity of the fruit that is upon them is computed by conjecture. (
Az,
S,
K. [See also خَرِيفٌ.]) Also, the former, [A palm-tree set in the manner described in the following explanation:] one's digging, for a palm-tree, in a water-course, or channel of a torrent, in which are pebbles, until reaching hard ground, and then filling up the hollow with sand, and setting the palm-tree therein.

Msb.) A place of abode of a people, or party, during their خَرِيف. (
TA. [It is there added, “as though formed from أَخْرَفُوا, by the rejection of the augmentative letter: ” but it is rather to be regarded as regularly formed, from خَرَفُوا: see 1.])
b2: Also A garden; (
Mgh,
TA;) and so ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (
S,
K:) or a garden of palm-trees; as also ↓ مَخْرِفٌ and ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (
TA:) a single palm-tree: or a few palm-trees, up to ten; more than these being termed a بُسْتَان or a حَدِيقَة: (El-Harbee,
TA:) see also خَرِيفَةٌ: or a small collection of palmtrees, six or seven, which a man purchases for the fruit that is [to be] gathered, or plucked: or any collection of palm-trees: (
L,
TA:) or a walled garden of palm-trees: (
IAth,
TA:) or palm-trees [absolutely]: (
Mgh:) and an avenue between two rows of palm-trees, such that one may gather, or pluck, the fruit from whichever of them he will; (
K;) as also ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ: (
Sh,
K:) and, (
S,
Mgh,
K,) as also ↓ مَخْرَفَةٌ, (
S,
K,) a road, (
S,
Mgh,
K,) such as is conspicuous, clear, or open: (
K:)
pl. مَخَارِفُ. (
Mgh,
TA.) It is said in a
trad., عَائِدُ المَرِيضِ عَلَى مَخَارِفِ الجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ, i. e. The visitor of the sick is as though he were in the gardens of Paradise until he returns: or upon the palm-trees of Paradise; gathering, or plucking, their fruits: or upon the roads of Paradise: (
Mgh, *
TA:) or, as some relate it, الجنّةِ ↓ على مَخْرَفَةِ. (
TA. [See also another explanation, and other readings in what follows.]) And it is said in a
trad. of 'Omar, النَّعَمِ ↓ تَرَكْتُكُمْ عَلَى مَخْرَفَةِ, (
S,) or تُرِكْتُمْ, (
TA,) i. e. [I have left you, or ye have been left,] upon a conspicuous road, like the road of the camels, (
As,
S, *
TA,) which they have trodden with their feet so that it has become plainly apparent. (
As,
TA.)
b3: Also Gathered, or plucked, fruit of palm-trees: (
As, A 'Obeyd,
IAmb,
K:) a correct meaning, though
IKt says that the proper word in this sense is only مَخْرُوفٌ: it is like مَشْرَبٌ and مَطْعَمٌ and مَرْكَبٌ as meaning مَشْرُوبٌ and طَعَامٌ مَأْكُولٌ and مَرْكُوبٌ; and may signify fresh ripe dates gathered or plucked: (
IAmb,
TA:)
pl. as above. (
As, &c.) So in the former of the two trads. mentioned above
accord. to
As and A 'Obeyd: (
TA:) and this interpretation is corroborated by another reading, i. e., على الجنّةِ ↓ خُرْفَةِ: (
Mgh:) another reading is, فِى
الجنّةِ ↓ خِرَافِ: [see خَرَافٌ:] and another, لَهُ فِى الجَنَّةِ ↓ خَرِيفٌ, i. e. [The visitor of the sick shall have] gathered fruits in Paradise. (

Msb,) or زِنْبِيل, of small size, in which the best fresh ripe dates are gathered: (
O,
K:)
pl. مَخَارِفُ. (
A,
TA.) One says, خَرَجُوا إِلَى المَخَارِفِ بالمَخَارِفِ, i. e. They went forth to the gardens with the baskets (زُبُل) [for gathering fruit]. (
A,
TA.)
b2: And hence, (assumed
tropical:) The basket (زنبيل) in which the importunate beggar puts his food. (
Har ubi suprà.) مَخْرَفَةٌ: see مَخْرَفٌ, in six places.
مَخْرُوفٌ: see خَرِيفٌ.
A2: Also Rained upon by the rain called خَرِيف;
pl., applied to men, مَخْرُوفُونَ: (
TA:) [so, too, applied to a beast:] and so, with ة, applied to land (أَرْض). (
As,
S.) مُخَارَفٌ Denied, or refused, good, or prosperity; prevented, or withheld, from obtaining good, good fortune, or sustenance; (
K;)
i. q. مُحَارَفٌ; (
JK,
TA;) as also مُجَارَفٌ. (
