عَمّانُ:
بالفتح ثم التشديد، وآخره نون، يجوز أن يكون فعلان من عمّ يعمّ فلا ينصرف معرفة وينصرف نكرة، ويجوز أن يكون فعّالا من عمن فيصرف في الحالتين إذا عني به البلد، وعمان: بلد في طرف الشام وكانت قصبة أرض البلقاء، والأكثر في حديث الحوض كذا ضبطه الخطابي ثم حكى فيه تخفيف الميم أيضا، وفي الترمذي: من عدن إلى عمان البلقاء، والبلقاء: بالشام وهو المراد في الحديث لذكره مع أذرح والجرباء وأيلة وكل من نواحي الشام، وقيل:
إن عمان هي مدينة دقيانوس وبالقرب منها الكهف والرقيم معروف عند أهل تلك البلاد، والله أعلم، وقد قيل غير ذلك، وذكر عن بعض اليهود أنه قرأ في بعض كتب الله: أن لوطا، عليه السّلام، لما خرج بأهله من سدوم هاربا من قومه التفتت امرأته فصارت صبار ملح وصار إلى زغر ولم ينج غيره، وأخيه وابنتيه، وتوهم بنتاه أن الله قد أهلك عالمه فتشاورتا بأن تقيما نسلا من أبيهما وعمهما فأسقتاهما نبيذا وضاجعت كل واحدة منهما واحدا فحبلتا ولم يعلم الرجلان بشيء من ذلك وولدت الواحدة ابنا فسمته عمّان أي أنه من عم وولدت الأخرى ولدا فسمته مآب أي أنه من أب، فلما كبرا وصارا رجلين بنى كل واحد منهما مدينة بالشام وسماها باسمه، وهما متقاربتان في برية الشام، وهذا كما تراه ونقلته كما وجدته، والله أعلم بحقه من باطله، وقال أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد البشاري: عمان على سيف البادية ذات قرى ومزارع، ورستاقها البلقاء، وهي معدن الحبوب والأنعام، بها عدة أنهار وأرحية يديرها الماء، ولها جامع ظريف في طرف السوق مفسفس الصحن شبه مكة، وقصر جالوت على جبل يطل عليها، وبها قبر أوريّاء النبيّ، عليه السّلام، وعليه مسجد وملعب سليمان بن داود، عليه السّلام، وهي رخيصة الأسعار كثيرة الفواكه غير أن أهلها جهال والطرق إليها صعبة، قال الأحوص بن محمد الأنصاري:
أقول بعمّان وهل طربي به ... إلى أهل سلع، إن تشوّقت، نافع
أصاح ألم يحزنك ريح مريضة ... وبرق تلالا بالعقيقين لامع؟
وإنّ غريب الدار مما يشوقه ... نسيم الرّياح والبروق اللوامع
وكيف اشتياق المرء يبكي صبابة ... إلى من نأى عن داره وهو طامع
وقد كنت أخشى، والنوى مطمئنة ... بنا وبكم، من علم ما الله صانع
أريد لأنسى ذكرها فيشوقني ... رفاق إلى أرض الحجاز رواجع
وقال الخطيم العكلي اللصّ يذكر عمّان:
أعوذ بربي أن أرى الشام بعدها ... وعمّان ما غنّى الحمام وغرّدا
فذاك الذي استنكرت يا أمّ مالك ... فأصبحت منه شاحــب اللون أسودا
وإني لماضي العزم لو تعلمينه، ... وركّاب أهوال يخاف بها الرّدى
وينسب إلى عمان أسلم بن محمد بن سلامة بن عبد الله ابن عبد الرحمن أبو دفافة الكناني العماني، قال الحافظ أبو القاسم: من أهل عمان مدينة البلقاء، قدم دمشق وحدث بها عن عطاء بن السائب بن أحمد بن حفص العماني المخزومي ومحمد بن هارون بن بكار وعبد الله بن محمد بن جعفر القزويني القاضي، روى عنه أبو الحسين الرازي وأبو بكر أحمد بن صافي التنيسي مولى الحباب بن رحيم البزاز، قال ابن أبي مسلم: مات أبو دفافة سنة 324، وقال الرازي: سنة 325، وأبو الفتح نصر بن مسرور بن محمد الزهري العماني، حدث عن أبي الفتح محمد بن إبراهيم الطرسوسي ونفر سواه.

(K.) b2: He concealed it; namely, a dead body; as also ↓ اجنّهُ: (S, TA:) or the latter, he wrapped it in grave-clothing: (K:) and he buried it. (TA.)

(S.) and وَلَدًا ↓ أَجَنَّتْ, (S,) or جَنِينًا, (K,) said of a woman, (S,) or a pregnant female, (K,) She concealed [or enveloped in her womb a child, or an embryo, or a fœtus]. (TA.) A2: جَنَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. جِنٌّ, It (an embryo, or a fœtus,) was concealed in the womb. (K.) b2: Also, [inf. n., probably, جِنٌّ and جُنُونٌ and جَنَانٌ, explained below,] It (the night) was, or became, dark. (Golius on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof.) A3: جُنَّ, (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. جُنُونٌ (S, K) and جِنَّةٌ (S) and جَنٌّ; (K;) and ↓ اُسْتُجِنٌّ, and ↓ تجنّن, and ↓ تجانّ; (K;) He (a man, S) was, or became, مَجْنُون [originally signifying possessed by a جِنِّىّ, or by جِنّ; possessed by a devil or demon; (see Bd li. 39;) and hence meaning bereft of reason; or mad, insane, unsound in mind or intellect, or wanting therein: the verbs may generally be rendered he was, or became, possessed; or mad, or insane].

(S, Msb, K.) [and so, vulgarly, ↓ جنّنهُ, whoever, or whatever, be the agent.] b2: ما اجنّهُ [How mad, or insane, &c., is he!] is anomalous, (Th, S,) being formed from a verb of the pass. form, namely, جُنَّ; (Th, TA;) for of the مَضْرُوب one should not say, مَا أَضْرَبَهُ; nor of the مَسْلُول should one say, مَا أَسَلَّهُ: (S:) Sb says that the verb of wonder is used in this case because it denotes want of intellect [which admits of degrees]. (TA.) A4: اجنّ also signifies وَقَعَ فِى مَجَنَّةٍ [app. meaning He fell into, or upon, a place containing, or abounding with, جِنّ]. (TA.) 5 تَجَنَّّ see 1, in two places. b2: تجنّن عَلَيْهِ, and ↓ تَجَانَنَ, (S, K,) and ↓ تَجَانَّ, (S,) He feigned himself مَجْنُون [i. e. possessed by a جِنِّىّ, or by جِنّ; and hence generally meaning bereft of reason; or mad, insane, &c.;] to him; (S, K;) not being really so.

(ISk, S.) b2: Concealment: so in the phrase, لَا جِنَّ بِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ There is no concealment with this thing. (K, * TA.) One of the Hudhalees says, وَلَا جِنَّ بِالبَغْضَآءِ وَالنَّظَرِ الشَّزْرِ [And there is no concealment with vehement hatred and the looking with aversion]. (TA.) A2: [The genii; and sometimes the angels;] accord. to some, the spiritual beings that are concealed from the senses, or that conceal themselves from the senses; all of such beings; (Er-Rághib, TA;) the opposite of إِنْسٌ; (S, Mgh, Msb, Er-Rághib, TA;) thus comprising the angels; all of these being جِنّ; (Er-Rághib, TA;) thus called because they are feared but not seen: (S:) or, accord. to others, certain of the spiritual beings; for the spiritual beings are of three kinds; the good being the angels; and the evil being the devils (شَيَاطِين); and the middle kind, among whom are good and evil, being the جِنّ; as is shown by the first twelve verses of ch. lxxii. of the Kur: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or it here means intelligent invisible bodies, predominantly of the fiery, or of the aerial, quality: or a species of souls, or spirits, divested of bodies: or human souls separate from their bodies: (Bd:) or the جِنّ are the angels [exclusively]; (K;) these being so called in the Time of Ignorance, because they were concealed, or because they concealed themselves, from the eyes: so, accord. to some, in the Kur [xviii. 48], where it is said that Iblees was of the جِنّ: and so, as some say, in the Kur [vi. 100], where it is said that they called the جِنّ partners of God: (TA:) but some reject the explanation in the K, because the angels were created of light, and the جِنّ of fire; and the former do not propagate their kind, nor are they to be described as males and females; contrary to the case of the جِنّ; wherefore it is generally said that in the phrase [in the Kur xviii. 48, above mentioned] إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الجِنِّ, what is excepted is disunited in kind from that from which the exception is made, or that Iblees had adopted the dispositions of the جِنّ: (MF, TA:) or, as some say, the جِنّ were a species of the angels, who were the guardians of the earth and of the gardens of Paradise: (TA:) ↓ جِنَّةٌ, also, signifies the same as جِنٌّ: (S, Msb, K:) so in the last verse of the Kur: (S:) in the Kur xxxvii. 158 meaning the angels, whom certain of the Arabs worshipped; (TA;) and whom they called the daughters of God: (Fr, TA:) a single individual of the جِنّ is called ↓ جِنِّىٌّ, [fem. with ة:] (S, TA:) and ↓ جَانٌّ, also, is syn. with جِنٌّ: (Msb:) or الجَانٌ means the father of the جِنّ; (S, Mgh, TA;) [i. e. any father of جِنّ; for] the pl. is جِنَّانٌ, like حِيطَانٌ pl. of حَائِطٌ: (S, TA:) so says El-Hasan: it is said in the T, on the authority of AA, that the جانّ is, or are, of the جِنّ: (TA:) or جَانٌّ is a quasi-pl. n. of جِنٌّ; (M, K;) like جَامِلٌ and بَاقِرٌ: (M, TA:) so in the Kur lv. 56 and 74: in reading the passage in the Kur lv. 39, 'Amr Ibn-'Obeyd pronounced it جَأَنٌ: (TA:) it is related that there were certain creatures called the جَانّ, who were upon the earth, and who acted corruptly therein, and shed blood, wherefore God sent angels who banished them from the earth; and it is said that these angels became the inhabitants of the earth after them. (Zj, TA.) بَاتَ فُلَانٌ ضَيْفَ جِنٍّ

[Such a one passed the night a guest of جنّ] means, in a desolate place, in which was no one that might cheer him by his society or converse. (TA.) The saying of Moosà Ibn-Jábir, فَمَا نَفَرَتْ جِنِّى وَلَا فُلَّ مِبْرَدِى

may mean And my companions, who were like the جِنّ, did not flee when I came to them and informed them, nor was my tongue, that is like the file, deprived of its sharp edge: or by his جنّ he means his familiar جنّ, such as were asserted to aid poets when difficulties befell them; and by his مبرد, his tongue: (Ham p. 182 [where other explanations are proposed; but they are far-fetched]:) or by his جنّ he means his heart; and by his مبرد, his tongue. (S.) The Arabs liken a man who is sharp and effective in affairs to a جِنِّىّ and a شَيْطَان: and hence they said, نَفَرَتْ جِنُّهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He became weak and abject. (Ham ubi suprà.) b2: The greater, main, or chief, part, or the main body, or bulk, of men, or of mankind; as also ↓ جَنَانٌ; (K;) because he who enters among them becomes concealed by them: (TA:) or the latter means the general assemblage, or collective body, of men: (IAar, S, * TA:) or what veils, conceals, covers, or protects, one, of a thing. (AA, TA.) b3: (tropical:) The flowers, or blossoms, of plants or herbage. (K, TA.) b4: (tropical:) The prime, or first part, of youth: (S, K, TA:) or the sharpness, or vigorousness, and briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness, thereof. (TA.) Yousay, كَانَ ذٰلِك فِى جِنِّ شَبَابِهِ (tropical:) That was in the prime, or first part, of his youth. (S, TA.) and أَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ الأَمْرَ بِجِنِّ ذٰلِكَ (tropical:) I will do that thing in the time of the first and fresh state of that. (S, TA.) جِنٌّ may also signify (assumed tropical:) The madness, or insanity, of exultation, or of excessive exultation. (TA.) And one says, اِتّقِ النّاقَةَ فَإِنّهَا بِجِنِّ ضِرَامِهَا, meaning (assumed tropical:) Fear thou the she-camel, for she is in her evil temper on the occasion of her bringing forth. (TA.) b5: Also i. q. جدّ [app. جِدٌّ, as meaning (assumed tropical:) Seriousness, or earnestness]; because it is a thing that is an accompaniment of thought, or reflection, and is concealed by the heart. (TA.) جَنَّةٌ A [garden, such as is called] بُسْتَان: (S, Mgh:) or a garden, or walled garden, (حَدِيقَة, Msb, K,) of trees, or of palm-trees, (Msb,) or of palms and other trees: (K:) or only if containing palm-trees and grape-vines; otherwise, if containing trees, called حديقة: (Aboo-'Alee in the Tedhkireh, TA:) or any بستان having trees by which the ground is concealed: and sometimes concealing trees: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and palm-trees: (S:) or tall palm-trees: (Mgh:) or shadowing trees; because of the tangling, or luxuriousness of their branches; as though concealing at once what is beneath them: then a بستان; because of its dense and shadowing trees: (Bd in ii. 23:) or a بستان of palms and other trees, dense, and shadowing by the tangling, or luxuriousness, and denseness, of their branches; as though it were originally the inf. n. of un. of جَنَّهُ, and meaning “ a single act of veiling ” or “ concealing ” &c.: (Ksh ib.:) then, with the article ال, [Paradise,] the abode of recompense; because of the جِنَان therein; (Ksh and Bd ib.;) or because the various delights prepared therein for mankind are concealed in the present state of existence: (Bd ib.:) [and] hence الجَنَّاتُ [the gardens of Paradise], (so in a copy of the S,) or جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ [the gardens of continual abode]: (so in another copy of the S:) [for] the pl. of جَنَّةٌ is أَجِنَّةٌ (Mgh, Msb, K) and جِنَيْنَة (Msb, TA) and جُنَّةٌ, but this last is strange. (MF, TA.) [Dim. ↓ جُنَيْنَةٌ, vulgarly pronounced جِنَيْنَة, and applied to A garden; as though it were a little Paradise.]
