M,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـُ (
M,
TA,)
inf. n. بَسْطٌ, (
S,

contr. of تَبْسيِطٌ; (

As such,] He spread it; spread it out, or forth; expanded it; extended it; (
S,
Msb,
K,
B;) as also ↓بسّطهُ: (
K:) and he made it wide, or ample: these are the primary significations; and sometimes both of them may be conceived; and sometimes, one of them: and the verb is also used, metaphorically, as relating to anything which cannot be conceived as composed or constructed: (
B:) and بَصْطٌ is the same as بَسْطٌ, (
S, and
K in art. بصط,) in all its meanings. (
K.) You say, بَسَطَ الثَّوْبَ [He spread, spread out, expanded, or unfolded, the garment, or piece of cloth]. (
Msb.) And بَسَطَ رِجْلَهُ (

tropical:) [Assuredly if thou stretch forth towards me thy hand to slay me]. (
M,
TA.) بَسْطُ اليَدِ and الكَفِّ is sometimes used to denote assaulting and smiting: [as in the last of the exs. given above; and] as in the words of the
Kur [lx. 2], وَيَبُسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوْءِ (
tropical:) [And they will stretch forth towards you their hands and their tongues with evil]; (
TA;) i. e., by slaying, (
Bd,
Jel,) and smiting, (

Jel.) And sometimes to denote giving liberally: (
TA:) [as in] بَسَطَ يَدَهُ فِى الإَنْفَاقِ (
tropical:) He [stretched forth his hand, opened, or] was liberal or bountiful or munificent [in expenditure]: (

TA,) بُسِطَتْ يَدُهُ عَلَيْهِ (

tropical:) He expanded his two hands in supplication; a common action, in which the two hands are placed together like an open book upon a desk before the face, in supplicating God:] see بَاسِطٌ, below. (
TA.)
b2: [And hence,] بَسَطْتُ لَهُ أَمْرِى (
tropical:) I displayed, or laid open, to him my state, or case, or affair;
syn. فَرَشْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ: (A in art. فرش:) and أَمْرَهُ [his state, &c.]. (

q. v.) and you say, بَسَطَ عَلَيْهِمُ العَدْلَ (
tropical:) [He largely extended to them equity, or justice]; as also ↓بسّطهُ. (

tropical:) It unwrinkled, as though it dilated, his countenance: see 7. and بَسَطَ قَلْبَهُ (assumed
tropical:) It dilated his heart: see remarks on قَبْضٌ and بَسْطٌ, as used by certain of the Soofees, near the end of 1 in art. قبض. And] بَسَطَهُ, alone, [signifies the same; or] (
tropical:) it rejoiced him; rendered him joyous, or cheerful: (
M,
K,
TA:) because, when a man is rejoiced, his countenance becomes unwrinkled (يَنْبَسِطُ), and he becomes changed [and cheerful] in [its] complexion: it is wrongly said, by
MF, to be not
tropical: that it is
tropical is asserted by
Z, in the A:
MF also says that it is not
post-classical; and in this he is right; for it occurs in a saying of Mohammad: thus in a
trad. respecting
Fátimeh, يَبْسُطُنِى مَا يَبْسُطُهَا What rejoices her rejoices me: (
TA:) [see also قَبَضَهُ, where this saying is cited according to another relation:] ↓أَبْسَطَنِى [as signifying (
tropical:) it rejoiced me] is a mistake of the vulgar [obtaining in the present day]. (
TA.)

S,
O,
K,
TA:) he emboldened him; incited him to [that kind of presumptuous boldness which is termed] دَالَّة. (

b9: [Hence also,] بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ فُلَانًا عَلَىَّ (
