سِنْجَارُ:
بكسر أوّله، وسكون ثانيه ثمّ جيم، وآخره راء: مدينة مشهورة من نواحي الجزيرة، بينها وبين الموصل ثلاثة أيّام، وهي في لحف جبل عال، ويقولون: إن سفينة نوح، عليه السلام، لما مرّت به نطحته فقال نوح: هذا سنّ جبل جار علينا، فسميت سنجار، ولست أحقّق هذا، والله أعلم به، إلّا أن أهل هذه المدينة يعرفون هذا صغيرهم وكبيرهم ويتداولونه، وقال ابن الكلبي: إنّما سميت سنجار وآمد وهيت باسم بانيها، وهم بنو البلندى ابن مالك بن دعر بن بويب بن عنقاء بن مدين بن إبراهيم، عليه السلام، ويقال: سنجار بن دعر نزلها، قالوا: ودعر هو الذي استخرج يوسف من الجبّ وهو أخو آمد الذي بنى آمد وأخو هيت الذي بنى هيت، وذكر أحمد بن محمد الهمذاني قال: ويقال إن سفينة نوح نطحت في جبل سنجار بعد ستة أشهر وثمانية أيّام من ركوبه إيّاها فطابت نفسه وعلم أن الماء قد أخذ ينضب فسأل عن الجبل فأخبر به، فقال: ليكن هذا الجبل مباركا كثير الشجر والماء! ثمّ وقفت السفينة على جبل الجودي بعد مائة واثنين وتسعين يوما فبنى هناك قرية سماها قرية الثمانين لأنّهم كانوا ثمانين نفسا، وقال حمزة الأصبهاني: سنجار تعريب سنكار، ولم يفسره، وهي مدينة طيبة في وسطها نهر جار، وهي عامرة جدّا، وقدّامها واد فيه بساتين ذات أشجار ونخل وترنج ونارنج، وبينها وبين نصيبين ثلاثة أيام أيضا، وقيل: إن السلطان سنجر بن ملك شاه بن ألب أرسلان بن سلجوق ولد بها فسمّي باسمها، عن الزمخشري، قال في الزيج: طول سنجار ثلاثون درجة، وعرضها خمس وثلاثون درجة ونصف وثلث، وقد خرج منها جماعة من أهل العلم والأدب والشعر، قال أبو عبيدة: قدم خالد الزبيدي في ناس معه من زبيد إلى سنجار ومعه ابنا عمّ له يقال لأحدهما صابي وللآخر عويد، فشربوا يوما من شراب سنجار فحنّوا إلى بلادهم فقال خالد:
أيا جبلي سنجار ما كنتما لنا ... مقيظا ولا مشتى ولا متربّعا
ويا جبلي سنجار هلّا بكيتما ... لداعي الهوى منّا شنينين أدمعا
فلو جبلا عوج شكونا إليهما ... جرت عبرات منهما أو تصدّعا
بكى يوم تلّ المحلبيّة صابئ، ... وألهى عويدا بثّه فتقنّعا
فانبرى له رجل من النمر بن قاسط يقال له دثار أحد بني حييّ فقال:
أيا جبلي سنجار هلّا دققتما ... بركنيكما أنف الزّبيديّ أجمعا
لعمرك ما جاءت زبيد لهجرة، ... ولكنّها كانت أرامل جوّعا
تبكّي على أرض الحجاز وقد رأت ... جرائب خمسا في جدال فأربعا
جرائب: جمع جريب، وجدال: قرية قرب سنجار، كأنّه يتعجب من ذلك ويقول كيف تحنّ إلى أرض الحجاز وقد شبعت بهذه الديار؟ فأجابه خالد يقول:
وسنجار تبكي سوقها كلّما رأت ... بها نمريّا ذا كساوين أيفعا
إذا نمريّ طالب الوتر غرّه ... من الوتر أن يلقى طعاما فيشبعا
إذا نمريّ ضاف بيتك فاقره ... مع الكلب زاد الكلب وازجرهما معا
أمن أجل مدّ من شعير قريته ... بكيت وناحت أمّك الحول أجمعا؟
بكى نمريّ أرغم الله أنفه ... بسنجار حتى تنفد العين أدمعا
وقال المؤيد بن زيد التكريتي يخاطب الحسين بن عليّ السنجاري المعروف بابن دبّابة ويلقّب بأمين الدين:
زاد أمين الدّين في وصفه ... سنجار حتى جئن سنجارا
فعاينت عيناي إذ جئتها ... مصيدة قد ملئت فارا
وقد نسب إلى سنجار جماعة وافرة من أهل العلم، منهم من أهل عصرنا: أسعد بن يحيى بن موسى بن منصور الشاعر يعرف بالبهاء السنجاري أحد المجيدين المشهورين، وكان أوّلا فقيها شافعيّا ثمّ غلب عليه قول الشعر فاشتهر به وقدّم عند الملوك وناهز التسعين وكان جريّا ثقة كيّسا لطيفا فيه مزاح وخفة روح، وله أشعار جيدة، منها في غلام اسمه عليّ وقد سئل القول فيه فقال في قطعة وكان مرّ به ومعه سيف:
بي حامل الصارم الهنديّ منتصرا، ... ضع السّلاح قد استغنيت بالكحل
ما يفعل الظّبي بالسّيف الصّقيل وما ... ضرب الصّوارم بالضّروب بالمقل
قد كنت في الحبّ سنّيّا فما برحت ... بي شيعة الحبّ حتى صرت عبد علي
وخرج من الموصل في سنة تسع عشرة وستمائة.

Such a one was talking to us, and Zeyd came, and broke off his talk, and turned it to what was wholly different in subject, or to what had but little connection with the subject of the former discourse: an ex. of a common conventional usage of اقتضب, mentioned in rhetorical treatises &c.; as when a poet breaks off his نَسِيب to enter upon the main subject of his ode].

(Mgh.) b2: And Any tree of which the branches grow long and lank: (K, * TA:) بَسَطَتْ in the K is a mistranscription for سَبِطَتْ. (TA.) b3: and Certain trees from which bows are made; (En-Nadr, O, K;) said to be of the kind called نَبْعٌ. (O.) AHn says that قضب [accord. to the L and TA app. قَضْبٌ, but accord. to a copy of the M ↓ قَضَبٌ, which I think a mistranscription,] is the name of Certain trees of the plains, or soft tracts, growing among collections of [other] trees; having leaves like those of the pear-tree, except that they are thinner, and more soft; and as trees [in general] resembling pear-trees: the camels feed upon its leaves and the extremities of its branches; but when the camel has become satiated therewith, he forsakes it for a time, for it sets his teeth on edge, and irritates his chest, and occasions him cough. (M, L, TA.) And ↓ قَضْبَةٌ [as n. un. of قَضْبٌ] signifies A tree from which arrows are made: one says سَهْمُ قَضْبٍ [An arrow made from the species of tree called قضب]; like as one says سَهْمُ نَبْعٍ &c.

(M, TA.) [Hence] one says, مَلَكَ البُرْدَةَ وَالقَضِيبَ (tropical:) [lit. He became possessor of the burdeh and the rod], meaning اُسْتُخْلِفَ [i. e. he became a successor]. (A.) b3: And A bow made of a rod, or branch, (AHn, M, K) in its complete state: (AHn, M:) or one made of a rod, or branch, not split: (M, K:) also called ↓ قَضْبَةٌ.

قنت

1 قُنُوتٌ is the inf. n. of قَنَتَ, (MA, Msb,) aor. ـُ (Msb,) and signifies The being obedient: (S, M, MA, Mgh, K, TA:) or the being constantly obedient: (IAmb, O, TA:) the former is the primary meaning: and hence, in the Kur [xxxiii. 35], ↓ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ ↓ وَالْقَانِتِينَ [And the obedient men and the obedient women]. (S, M, TA.) One says, قَنَتَ لِلّٰهِ, (MA,) and قَنَتَ اللّٰهَ, (TA,) [but this latter is unusual, the former only being authorized by the Kur-án (in iii. 38 and xxxiii.

31),] meaning He was obedient to God. (MA, TA.) And it is said in the Kur [ii. 110 and xxx. 25], ↓ كُلٌّ لَهُ قَانِتُونَ i. e. All are obedient unto Him: but the meaning here is, that the beings in heaven [and earth] are created by the will of God, and that none of them can alter the form in which it is created; the obedience here spoken of being obedience to the will [of God], not the obedience of religious service; some of them being obedient [in this sense], and others being disobedient. (L, TA.) [It is said that] the proper signification of ↓ القَانِتُ [or the signification that implies all the meanings of the word] is The performer of the command of God. (L, TA.) b2: It signifies also The act of standing; (Mgh, TA;) mentioned by Th, and asserted by him to be the primary meaning. (TA.) and (TA) The standing long. (IAmb, O, TA.) and (TA) The standing in the performance of the divinely-appointed act of prayer. (S, Msb, K, TA.) [See also 4.] Hence, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) it is said in a trad. (S, TA) of the Prophet, as a reply given by him to the question أَىُّ الصَّلَاةِ

أَفْضَلُ, (TA,) أَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ طُولُ القُنُوتِ (S, Mgh, Msb, TA) i. e. [The most excellent characteristic of the performance of the divinely-appointed act of prayer is] the long continuance of the standing. (Mgh, * Msb, * TA.) And hence, قُنُوتُ الوِتْرِ; (S; [see art. وتر;]) or [as it is also termed] دُعَآءُ القُنُوتِ, which means The supplication of the standing; (Msb;) for one utters the supplication standing: (TA:) and what is thus termed (دُعَآءُ القُنُوتِ) is as follows: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَنُثْنِى عَلَيْكَ الخَيْرَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ وَنَخْلَعُ وَنَتْرُكُ مَنْ يَفْجُرُكَ اَللّٰهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَلَكَ نُصَلِّى وَنَسْجُدُ وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى وَنَحْفِدُ نَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ وَنَخْشَى عَذَابَكَ إِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالكُفَّارِ مُلْحِقٌ i. e. O God, verily we beg of Thee aid to be obedient and to forsake disobedience, and we beg of Thee forgiveness of sins, [and we believe in Thee, and we rely upon Thee,] and we laud Thee well, and we will not be unthankful to Thee for Thy favour, and we cast off and forsake him who disobeys Thee: [O God, Thee we worship, and to Thee we perform the divinely-appointed act of prayer, and prostrate ourselves;] and we are quick in working for Thee and in serving Thee: we hope for Thy mercy, and we dread Thy punishment: verily Thy punishment overtakes the unbelievers; thus this clause is expl. on the authority of Ks: or, as some say, it means, causes others to overtake, or become associated with, the unbelievers. (Mgh. [See also art. لحق.]) It is said of the Prophet, قَنَتَ شَهْرًا فِى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ يَدْعُو عَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكُوَانَ [He stood during a month, in the prayer of daybreak, after (the prayers of) the رُكُوع (pl. of رَكَعَ, q. v.), cursing (the tribes of) Rial and Dhekwán]. (TA.) b3: Also The act of supplicating [God]: (Zj, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA:) this is the signification [most] commonly known. (Zj, Mgh, O, TA.) And [particularly, accord. to general usage,] The supplicating God [by addressing Him with the form of words mentioned above as used in what is termed دُعَآءُ القُنُوتِ], doing so standing. (TA.) b4: And The divinely-appointed act of prayer; syn. صَلَاةٌ. (IAmb, O, TA.) b5: And The being silent; (O, Msb, K, TA;) by which is meant (O, * TA) the withholding oneself from talking; (O, * K, TA;) in, or during, [the prayer called] الصَّلَاة. (O, * Msb, TA.) Hence, (O, Msb, TA,) accord. to a trad., (O, TA,) the saying in the Kur [ii. 239], وَقُومُوا

↓ لِلّٰهِ قَانِتِينَ [And stand ye unto God, in the divinely-appointed act of prayer, refraining from talking]. (O, Msb, TA.) b6: And The serving of God. (TA.) b7: And The continuing of the performance of the pilgrimage. (TA.) One says, [قَنَتَ and] ↓ اقنت, meaning He continued the performance of the pilgrimage. (IAar, O, K, TA.) b8: And The prolonging of engaging in warring, or warring and plundering. (TA.) One says, [قَنَتَ and] ↓ اقنت, meaning He prolonged the engaging in warring, or warring and plundering. (IAar, O, K, TA.) b9: And The confessing, or acknowledging, one's being in the condition of a servant [to God]. (TA.) b10: and The being lowly, humble, or submissive: (A, TA:) or the keeping to obedience [to God], with lowliness, humility, or submissiveness. (Er-Rághib, TA.) One says, قَنَتَ لَهُ He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive, to him. (TA.) and قَنَتَتِ المراة لِزَوْجِهَا, (A,) or لِبَعْلِهَا, (TA,) The woman was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive, and obedient, to her husband: (A:) or was, or became, quiet and submissive; syn. أَقَرَّت. (TA.) [See also 4, and 8.]

A2: قَنَاتَةٌ [is an inf. n., of which the verb is قَنُتَ, like قَتُنَ, and] signifies The eating little [like قَتَانَةٌ]. (K.) 4 اقنت He stood long in the performance of the divinely-appointed act of prayer. (O, K.) [And قَنَتَ has the same, or nearly the same, meaning; as is shown above.] b2: Also, [like قَنَتَ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ,] He cursed his enemy. (IAar, O, K.) b3: See also 1, last quarter, in two places. b4: Also He lowered, humbled, or submitted, himself to God. (IAar, O, K.) 8 اقتنت He was, or became, tractable, or submissive. (TA.) [And اكتنت has a similar meaning.]

قَنُوتٌ A woman lowly, humble, or submissive, and obedient [to her husband]. (A.) قَنِيتٌ A woman who eats little: (O, K:) as also قَتِينٌ. (O.) b2: سِقَآءٌ قَنِيتٌ i. q. مِسِّيكٌ, so in a copy of the K, meaning [A skin] that retains the water; and this is the right explanation: (TA:) but accord. to Az and Z, the word مسيك thus used is like أَمِيرٌ; and سِقَآءٌ مَسِيكٌ is expl. by Z as meaning [a skin] that does not exude, and by Az as meaning [a skin] that retains the water so that it does not exude: (TA in art. مسك:) in the present art., in some of the copies of the K, مُسِيلٌ, the act. part. n. from أَسَالَ المَآءَ; and thus in a copy of the Tekmileh. (TA in the present art.: in the O, in this art., it is مَسِيلٌ.) قَانِتٌ [part. n. of قَنَتَ in all its senses]: see three exs. in the first quarter of the first paragraph, and another ex. in the last quarter; its [broken] pl., in all its senses is قَنَّتٌ. (ISd, TA.)
