خُراسَانُ:
بلاد واسعة، أول حدودها مما يلي العراق أزاذوار قصبة جوين وبيهق، وآخر حدودها مما يلي الهند طخارستان وغزنة وسجستان وكرمان، وليس ذلك منها إنما هو أطراف حدودها، وتشتمل على أمّهات من البلاد منها نيسابور وهراة ومرو، وهي كانت قصبتها، وبلخ وطالقان ونسا وأبيورد وسرخس وما يتخلل ذلك من المدن التي دون نهر جيحون، ومن الناس من يدخل أعمال خوارزم فيها ويعدّ ما وراء النهر منها وليس الأمر كذلك، وقد فتحت أكثر هذه البلاد عنوة وصلحا، ونذكر ما يعرف من ذلك في مواضعها، وذلك في سنة 31 في أيام عثمان، رضي الله عنه، بإمارة عبد الله بن عامر ابن كريز، وقد اختلف في تسميتها بذلك فقال دغفل النسابة: خرج خراسان وهيطل ابنا عالم بن سام بن نوح، عليهما السلام، لما تبلبلت الألسن ببابل فنزل كل واحد منهما في البلد المنسوب إليه، يريد أن هيطل نزل في البلد المعروف بالهياطلة، وهو ما وراء نهر جيحون، ونزل خراسان في هذه البلاد التي ذكرناها دون النهر فسمّيت كل بقعة بالذي نزلها، وقيل: خر اسم للشمس بالفارسية الدّريّة وأسان كأنه أصل الشيء ومكانه، وقيل: معناه كل سهلا لأن معنى خر كل وأسان سهل، والله أعلم، وأما النسبة إليها ففيها لغات، في كتاب العين: الخرسي منسوب إلى خراسان، ومثله الخراسي والخراساني ويجمع على الخراسين بتخفيف ياء النسبة كقولك الأشعرين، وأنشد:
لا تكرمن من بعدها خرسيّا
ويقال: هم خرسان كما يقال سودان وبيضان، ومنه قول بشار في البيت:
من خرسان لا تعاب
يعني بناته، وقال البلاذري: خراسان أربعة أرباع، فالربع الأول إيران شهر وهي نيسابور وقهستان والطّبسان وهراة ويوشنج وباذغيس وطوس واسمها طابران، والربع الثاني مرو الشاهجان وسرخس ونسا وأبيورد ومرو الروذ والطالقان وخوارزم وآمل وهما على نهر جيحون، والربع الثالث، وهو غربي النهر وبينه وبين النهر ثمانية فراسخ، الفارياب والجوزجان وطخارستان العليا وخست واندرابة والباميان وبغلان ووالج، وهي مدينة مزاحم بن بسطام، ورستاق بيل وبذخشان، وهو مدخل الناس إلى تبّت، ومن اندرابة مدخل الناس إلى كابل، والترمذ، وهو في شرقي بلخ، والصغانيان وطخارستان السّفلى وخلم وسمنجان، والربع الرابع ما وراء النهر بخارى والشاش والطّراربند والصّغد، وهو كسّ، ونسف والروبستان وأشروسنة وسنام، قلعة المقنع، وفرغانة وسمرقند، قال المؤلف: فالصحيح في تحديد خراسان ما ذهبنا إليه أوّلا وإنما ذكر البلاذري هذا لأن جميع ما ذكره من البلاد كان مضموما إلى والي خراسان وكان اسم خراسان يجمعها، فأما ما وراء النهر فهي بلاد الهياطلة ولاية برأسها وكذلك سجستان ولاية برأسها ذات نخيل، لا عمل بينها وبين خراسان، وقد روي عن شريك بن عبد الله أنه قال:
خراسان كنانة الله إذا غضب على قوم رماهم بهم، وفي حديث آخر: ما خرجت من خراسان راية في جاهلية وإسلام فردّت حتى تبلغ منتهاها، وقال ابن قتيبة: أهل خراسان أهل الدعوة وأنصار الدولة ولم يزالوا في أكثر ملك العجم لقاحا لا يؤدّون إلى أحد إتاوة ولا خراجا، وكانت ملوك العجم قبل ملوك الطوائف تنزل بلخ حتى نزلوا بابل ثم نزل أردشير بن بابك فارس فصارت دار ملكهم وصار بخراسان ملوك الهياطلة، وهم الذين قتلوا فيروز بن يزدجرد بن بهرام ملك فارس، وكان غزاهم فكادوه بمكيدة في طريقه حتى سلك سبيلا معطشة يعني مهلكة، ثم خرجوا إليه فأسروه وأكثر أصحابه معه، فسألهم أن يمنّوا عليه وعلى من أسر معه من أصحابه وأعطاهم موثقا من الله وعهدا مؤكّدا لا يغزوهم أبدا ولا يجوز حدودهم، ونصب حجرا بينه وبينهم صيره الحدّ الذي حلف عليه وأشهد الله عز وجل على ذلك ومن حضره من أهله وخاصة أساورته، فمنّوا عليه وأطلقوه ومن أراد ممن أسر معه، فلما عاد إلى مملكته دخلته الأنفة والحميّة مما أصابه وعاد لغزوهم ناكثا لأيمانه غادرا بذمته وجعل الحجر الذي كان نصبه وجعله الحدّ الذي حلف أنه لا يجوزه محمولا أمامه في مسيره يتأول به أنه لا يتقدّمه ولا يجوزه، فلما صار إلى بلدهم ناشدوه الله وأذكروه به فأبى إلا لجاجا ونكثا فواقعوه وقتلوه وحماته وكماته واستباحوا أكثرهم فلم يفلت منهم إلّا الشريد، وهم قتلوا كسرى بن قباذ، ثم أتى الإسلام فكانوا فيه أحسن الأمم رغبة وأشدّهم إليه مسارعة منّا من الله عليهم وتفضّلا لهم، فأسلموا طوعا ودخلوا فيه سلما وصالحوا عن بلادهم صلحا، فخفّ خراجهم وقلّت نوائبهم ولم يجر عليهم سباء ولم تسفك فيما بينهم دماء، وبقوا على ذلك طول أيام بني أميّة إلى أن أساعوا السيرة واشتغلوا باللّذات عن الواجبات، فانبعث عليهم جنود من أهل خراسان مع أبي مسلم الخراساني ونزع عن قلوبهم الرحمة وباعد عنهم الرأفة حتى أزالوا ملكهم عن آخرهم رأيا وأحنكهم سنّا وأطولهم باعا فسلّموه إلى بني العباس، وأنفذ عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، الأحنف بن
قيس في سنة 18 فدخلها وتملّك مدنها فبدأ بالطّبسين ثم هراة ومرو الشاهجان ونيسابور في مدّة يسيرة، وهرب منه يزدجرد بن شهريار ملك الفرس إلى خاقان ملك الترك بما وراء النهر، فقال ربعي بن عامر في ذلك:
ونحن وردنا، من هراة، مناهلا ... رواء من المروين، إن كنت جاهلا
وبلخ ونيسابور قد شقيت بنا، ... وطوس ومرو قد أزرنا القنابلا
أنخنا عليها، كورة بعد كورة، ... نفضّهم حتى احتوينا المناهلا
فلله عينا من رأى مثلنا معا، ... غداة أزرنا الخيل تركا وكابلا
وبقي المسلمون على ذلك إلى أن مات عمر، رضي الله عنه، وولي عثمان، فلما كان لسنتين من ولايته ثرا بنو كنازا، وهم أخوال كسرى، بنيسابور وألجئوا عبد الرحمن بن سمرة وعمّاله إلى مرو الروذ وثنّى أهل مرو الشاهجان وثلّث نيزك التركي فاستولى على بلخ وألجأ من بها من المسلمين إلى مرو الروذ وعليها عبد الرحمن بن سمرة، فكتب ابن سمرة إلى عثمان بخلع أهل خراسان فقال أسيد بن المتشمّس المرّيّ:
ألا أبلغا عثمان عني رسالة، ... فقد لقيت عنّا خراسان بالغدر
فأذك، هداك الله، حربا مقيمة ... بمروي خراسان العريضة في الدّهر
ولا تفترز عنّا، فإن عدوّنا ... لآل كنازاء الممدّين بالجسر
فأرسل إلى ابن عامر عبد الله بن بشر في جند أهل البصرة، فخرج ابن عامر في الجنود حتى تولّج خراسان من جهة يزد والطّبسين وبثّ الجنود في كورها وساروا نحو هراة فافتتح البلاد في مدّة يسيرة وأعاد عمال المسلمين عليها، وقال أسيد بن المتشمّس بعد استرداد خراسان:
ألا أبلغا عثمان عنّي رسالة، ... لقد لقيت منّا خراسان ناطحا
رميناهم بالخيل من كلّ جانب، ... فولّوا سراعا واستقادوا النوائحا
غداة رأوا خيل العراب مغيرة، ... تقرّب منهم أسدهنّ الكوالحا
تنادوا إلينا واستجاروا بعهدنا، ... وعادوا كلابا في الديار نوابحا
وكان محمد بن عليّ بن عبد الله بن العباس قال لدعاته حين أراد توجيههم إلى الأمصار: أما الكوفة وسوادها فهناك شيعة عليّ وولده والبصرة وسوادها فعثمانية تدين بالكفّ، وأما الجزيرة فحرورية مارقة وأعراب كأعلاج ومسلمون أخلاقهم كأخلاق النصارى، وأما الــشام فليس يعرفون إلا آل أبي سفيان، وطاعة بني مروان عداوة راسخة وجهل متراكم، وأما مكة والمدينة فغلب عليهما أبو بكر وعمر، ولكن عليكم بأهل خراسان فإن هناك العدد الكثير والجلد الظاهر وهناك صدور سليمة وقلوب فارغة لم تتقسّمها الأهواء ولم تتوزعها النّحل ولم يقدم عليهم فساد، وهم جند لهم أبدان وأجسام ومناكب وكواهل وهامات ولحى وشوارب وأصوات هائلة ولغات فخمة تخرج من أجواف منكرة، فلما بلغ الله إرادته من بني أمية وبني العباس أقام أهل خراسان مع خلفائهم على أحسن حال وهم أشدّ طاعة وأكثر تعظيما للسلطان وهو أحمد سيرة في رعيته
يتزين عندهم بالجميل ويستتر منهم بالقبيح إلى أن كان ما كان من قضاء الله ورأي الخلفاء الراشدين في الاستبدال بهم وتصيير التدبير لغيرهم فاختلّت الدولة وكان من أمرها ما هو مشهور من قبل الخلفاء في زمن المتوكل وهلمّ جرّا ما جرى من أمر الديلم والسلجوقية وغير ذلك، وقال قحطبة بن شبيب لأهل خراسان: قال لي محمد ابن عليّ بن عبد الله أبى الله أن تكون شيعتنا إلا أهل خراسان لا ننصر إلا بهم ولا ينصرون إلّا بنا، إنه يخرج من خراسان سبعون ألف سيف مشهور، قلوبهم كزبر الحديد، أسماؤهم الكنى وأنسابهم القرى، يطيلون شعورهم كالغيلان، جعابهم تضرب كعابهم، يطوون ملك بني أمية طيّا ويزفّون الملك إلينا زفّا، وأنشد لعصابة الجرجاني:
الدار داران: إيوان وغمدان، ... والملك ملكان: ساسان وقحطان
والناس فارس والإقليم بابل وال ... إسلام مكة والدنيا خراسان
والجانبان العلندان، اللذا خشنا ... منها، بخارى وبلخ الشاه داران
قد ميز الناس أفواجا ورتّبهم، ... فمرزبان وبطريق ودهقان
وقال العباس بن الأحنف:
قالوا خراسان أدنى ما يراد بكم ... ثم القفول، فها جئنا خراسانا
ما أقدر الله أن يدني على شحط ... سكان دجلة من سكان سيحانا
عين الزمان أصابتنا، فلا نظرت، ... وعذّبت بفنون الهجر ألوانا
وقال مالك بن الرّيب بعد ما ذكرناه في ابرشهر:
لعمري لئن غالت خراسان هامتي، ... لقد كنت عن بابي خراسان نائيا
ألا ليت شعري! هل أبيتنّ ليلة ... بجنب الغضا أزجي القلاص النّواجيا؟
فليت الغضا لم يقطع الركب عرضه، ... وليت الغضا ماشى الركاب لياليا
ألم ترني بعت الضلالة بالهدى، ... وأصبحت في جيش ابن عفّان غازيا؟
وما بعد هذه الأبيات في الطّبسين قال عكرمة وقد خرج من خراسان: الحمد لله الذي أخرجنا منها ليطوي خراسان طيّ الأديم حتى يقوّم الحمار الذي كان فيها بخمسة دراهم بخمسين بل بخمسمائة.
وروي عن النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، أنه قال: إن الدّجّال يخرج من المشرق من أرض يقال لها خراسان يتبعه قوم كأنّ وجوههم المجان المطرقة، وقد طعن قوم في أهل خراسان وزعموا أنهم بخلاء، وهو بهت لهم ومن أين لغيرهم مثل البرامكة والقحاطبة والطاهرية والسامانية وعلي بن هــشام وغيرهم ممن لا نظير لهم في جميع الأمم، وقد نذكر عنهم شيئا مما ادعي عليهم والردّ في ترجمة مرو الشاهجان إن شاء الله. فأما العلم فهم فرسانه وساداته وأعيانه، ومن أين لغيرهم مثل محمد بن إسماعيل البخاري ومثل مسلم بن الحجاج القشيري وأبي عيسى الترمذي وإسحاق ابن راهويه وأحمد بن حنبل وأبي حامد الغزّالي والجويني إمام الحرمين والحاكم أبي عبد الله النيسابوري وغيرهم من أهل الحديث والفقه، ومثل الأزهري والجوهري وعبد الله بن المبارك، وكان يعدّ من أجواد الزّهاد والأدباء، والفارابي صاحب ديوان
الأدب والهروي وعبد القاهر الجرجاني وأبي القاسم الزمخشري، هؤلاء من أهل الأدب والنظم والنثر الذين يفوت حصرهم ويعجز البليغ عن عدّهم، وممن ينسب إلى خراسان عطاء الخراساني، وهو عطاء بن أبي مسلم، واسم أبي مسلم ميسرة، ويقال عبد الله ابن أيوب أبو ذؤيب، ويقال أبو عثمان، ويقال أبو محمد، ويقال أبو صالح من أهل سمرقند، ويقال من أهل بلخ مولى المهلّب بن أبي صفرة الأزدي، سكن الــشام، وروى عن ابن عمر وابن عباس وعبد الله بن مسعود وكعب بن عجرة ومعاذ بن جبل مرسلا، وروى عن أنس وسعيد بن المسيّب وسعيد بن جبير وأبي مسلم الخولاني وعكرمة مولى ابن عباس وأبي إدريس الخولاني ونافع مولى ابن عمر وعروة بن الزبير وسعيد العقبري والزّهري ونعيم بن سلامة الفلسطيني وعطاء بن أبي رباح وأبي نصرة المنذر بن مالك العبدي وجماعة يطول ذكرهم، روى عنه ابنه عثمان والضحاك بن مزاحم الهلالي وعبد الرحمن بن يزيد بن جابر والأوزاعي ومالك بن أنس ومعمر وشعبة وحماد بن سلمة وسفيان الثوري والوضين وكثير غير هؤلاء، وقال ابنه عثمان: ولد أبي سنة خمسين من التاريخ، قال عبد الرحمن بن زيد بن أسلم: لما مات العبادلة: عبد الله بن عباس وعبد الله ابن الزبير وعبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص صار الفقه في جميع البلدان إلى الموالي، فصار فقيه أهل مكة عطاء بن أبي رباح وفقيه أهل اليمن طاووس وفقيه أهل اليمامة يحيى بن أبي كثير وفقيه أهل البصرة الحسن البصري وفقيه أهل الكوفة النخعي وفقيه أهل الــشام مكحول وفقيه أهل خراسان عطاء الخراساني إلا المدينة فإن الله تعالى خصها بقرشيّ، فكان فقيه أهل المدينة غير مدافع سعيد بن المسيّب، وقال أحمد ابن حنبل: عطاء الخراساني ثقة، وقال يعقوب بن شيبة: عطاء الخراساني مشهور، له فضل وعلم، معروف بالفتوى والجهاد، روى عنه مالك بن أنس، وكان مالك ممن ينتقي الرجال، وابن جريج وحماد ابن سلمة والمشيخة، وهو ثقة ثبت.

which may mean, [And may] the descending of the rain called the ربيع [and continuous rain, or continuous and still rain, pouring forth, water thy districts, not injuring them]: or it may mean, [may] the rain of the season called the ربيع [&c.]: so says IHsh. (MF, TA.) And one says of a calamity (شِدَّة), on the occasion of its befalling, صَابَتْ بِقُرٍّ, meaning It became [or fell] in its قَرَار [or settled or fixed place, or in the place where it should remain].

(A, TA.) A3: [تَصْوِيبٌ is also the contr. of تَصْعِيدٌ in an intrans. sense as well as in the trans. sense mentioned above:] one says, طَالَ فِى

الأَرْضِ تَصْوِيبِى وَتَصْعِيدِى [Long have continued my descending, or going down, and my ascending, or going up, in the land].

(A.) b3: [Hence, likening an event, &c., to an arrow,] one says also, اصابهُ أَمْرٌ, inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) [An event smote him, or befell him;] and ↓ صابهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. صَوْبٌ, signifies the same.

In the following verse, cited by IAar, فَكَيْفَ تُرَجِّى العاذِلَاتُ تَجَلُّدِى حَمِيمُهَا ↓ وَصَبْرِى إِذَا مَا النَّفْسُ صِيبَ he explains صِيبَ as being like قُصِدَ, and says that it may be of the dial. of him who says صَابَ السَّهْمُ; but [ISd remarks,] I know not how this is, for صَابَ السَّهْمُ is not trans.; [though, as shown above, he has mentioned it as being trans.;] and in my opinion, [he says,] صيب here is from the phrase صَابَتِ السَّمَآءُ الأَرْضَ [expl. above; the meaning of the verse being, But how should the censuring women hope for my constraining myself to behave with hardiness, and for my being patient, when the beloved of the soul has been smitten by death, or by the decree of death; for ISd adds,] كَأَنَّ المَنِيَّةَ صَابَتِ الحَمِيمَ فَأَصَابَتْهُ بِصَوْبِهَا. (M, TA. *) b4: [اصاب is also used in many phrases in which its agent is likened to an archer.] One says, اصاب الصَّوَابَ (tropical:) [He hit the right thing or point, or the object, or aim, of his words or of his actions]: (A:) and اصاب السَّدَادَ [which means the same].

(M, K. *) and اصاب فِى قَوْلِهِ وَفِعْلِهِ (assumed tropical:) He hit the right thing in his saying and his deed; (Msb;) and so فِى رَأْيِهِ in his opinion; contr. of أَخْطَأَ. (A.) and اصاب بِغْيَتَهُ (assumed tropical:) He attained, or obtained, the thing that he sought, or wanted: whence the saying, اصاب مِنْ زَوْجَتِهِ [and so app. أَصَابَهَا (see سَفَقَ)] (assumed tropical:) He obtained his desired enjoyment of his wife: (Msb:) اصاب مِنِّى occurs in a trad., [as a euphemism,] said by the wife of Handhaleh, meaning (assumed tropical:) He compressed me: (Mgh:) and it is said in a trad., كَانَ يُصِيبُ مِنْ رَأْسِ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He used to kiss [the head of some one or more of his wives when he was fasting]. (TA: and the like is said in the Mgh.) And اصاب مِنَ المَالِ وَغَيْرِهِ (assumed tropical:) He took, or took with his hand, of the property and other things. (TA.)

One says, أَصَابَ فُلَانٌ الصَّوَابَ فَأَخْطَأَ الجَوَابَ (assumed tropical:) Such a one aimed at, and desired, [to say] that which was right, (As, Msb, * TA,) and failed of giving rightly the reply. (As, TA.) And أَيْنَ تُصِيبَانِ (assumed tropical:) [Whither do ye two desire to go?]; a saying of Ru-beh. (TA.) تَجْرِى بِأَمْرِهِ رُخَآءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ, in the Kur [xxxviii. 35, referring to the wind], has been expl. as meaning (assumed tropical:) [Running by his command softly, or gently,] whithersoever He desireth. (M, * TA.) And اصاب اللّٰهُ الَّذِى أَرَادَ, said in a trad., in reply to a question respecting the interpretation of a text, means (assumed tropical:) God desireth, or meaneth, [thereby,] what He desireth, or meaneth. (TA.) and اصاب اللّٰهُ بِكَ خَيْرًا means أَرَادَهُ (tropical:) [i. e. May God intend thee good]. (A.) And اصاب alone (assumed tropical:) He desired, or intended, or meant, that which was right. (M, K. *) One says also, اصابهُ بِخَيْرٍ (assumed tropical:) [meaning He did good to him]. (El-Muärrij, TA in art. اسو.) [But] اصابهُ بِكَذَا, (M,) inf. n. إِصَابَةٌ, (K,) with which are syn. ↓ مُصَابٌ [in accordance with a usage generally allowable] (S, TA) and ↓ مُصَابَةٌ, (K, TA,) (assumed tropical:) [generally] means He afflicted him with, or by, such a thing; or gave pain to him thereby. (M, K: * in the latter, only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense; and so in other senses.) [Thus one says, اصابهُ بِشَرٍّ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with evil; or did evil to him: and اصابهُ بِمَكْرُوهٍ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with, or did to him, an abominable, or an evil, thing or action: and اصابهُ بِقَوْلٍ قَبِيحٍ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with, or said to him, a foul saying: and اصابهُ بِذَحْلٍ (assumed tropical:) He punished him by blood-revenge: and اصابهُ بِمَرَضٍ (assumed tropical:) He, (i. e. God,) or it, (a thing,) affected him with disease; or rendered him diseased: and in many similar cases, the phrase may be well rendered with a verb derived from the noun; like phrases in which “ affecit ” (a Latin equivalent of اصاب) occurs; as in “ honore affecit,” meaning “ honoravit. ”] El-Hárith Ibn-Khuld El-Makhzoomee says, رَجُلًا↓أَظُلَيْمُ إِنَّ مُصَابَكُمْ

أَهْدَى السَّلَامَ تَحِيَّةً ظُلْمُ (assumed tropical:) [O Dhuleymeh, verily your afflicting a man who has given the salutation of peace, greeting, is tyranny]: IB says that this verse is not of El-'Arjee, as El-Hareeree imagined it to be: the correct reading is أَظُلَيْمُ, as above: ظليم is an apocopated from of ظُلَيْمَةُ; which is the dim. of ظَلُوم: some read أَظَلُومُ: and some, أَسُلَيْمُ: [the verse is cited accord. to this last reading in the S:] رَجُلًا is governed in the accus. case by مُصَاب [as an inf. n.]: and ظُلْمُ is the enunciative of إِنَّ. (L, TA.) أَصَابَهُمُ الدَّهْرُ بِنُفُوسِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ (assumed tropical:) meansTime, or fate, afflicted them by destruction, or extirpation, among themselves and their cattle, or possessions. (M.) [In the K, الإِصَابةُ is expl. as signifying الاِحْتِيَاجُ: but the right reading is evidently الاِجْتِيَاحُ, as Ibr D has remarked in the margin of my copy of the TA; so that اصاب signifies (assumed tropical:) He destroyed, or extirpated; agreeably with an explanation in the sentence next preceding above, from the M.] مَنْ يُرِدِ اللّٰهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُصِبْ مِنْهُ, (assumed tropical:) occurring in a trad., means Him whom God intendeth good He trieth with afflictions, that He may recompense him for them. (TA.)

السَّرَاةُ:
بلفظ جمع السريّ، وهو جمع جاء على غير قياس أن يجمع فعيل على فعلة ولا يعرف غيره، وكذا قاله اللغويون، وأمّا سيبويه فالسراة في السري هو عنده اسم مفرد موضوع للجمع كنفر ورهط وليس بجمع مكسر، وسراة الفرس وغيره: أعلى متنه، والجمع سروات، وكذا يجمع هذا الجبل بما يتوصل به، وسراة النهار: وقت ارتفاع الشمس، وسراة الطريق: متنه ومعظمه، وقال الأصمعي:
الطود جبل مشرف على عرفة ينقاد إلى صنعاء يقال له السراة، وإنّما سمّي بذلك لعلوّه، وسراة كل شيء:
ظهره، يقال: سراة ثقيف ثمّ سراة فهم وعدوان ثم سراة الأزد، وقال الأصمعي: السراة الجبل الذي فيه طرف الطائف إلى بلاد أرمينية، وفي كتاب الحازمي: السراة الجبال والأرض الحاجزة بين تهامة واليمن ولها سعة، وهي باليمن أخص، وقال أبو الأشعث الكندي عن عرّام: وادي تربة لبني هلال وحواليه بين الجبال السراة ويسوم وفرقد ومعدن البرم وجبلان يقال لهما شوانان واحدهما شوان، وهذه الجبال تنبت القرظ، وهي جبال متقاودة وبينها فتوق، وفي جبال السراة الأعناب وقصب السكر والقرظ والإسحل، قال شاعر يصف غيثا:
أنجد غوريّ وحنّ متهمة ... واستنّ بين ريّقيه حنتمه
وقلت أطراف السراة مطعمه
وقال قوم: الحجاز هو جبال تحجز بين تهامة ونجد يقال لأعلاها السراة كما يقال لظهر الدابّة السراة، وهو أحسن القول، وقال الفضل بن العبّاس اللهبي:
وقافية عقام قلت بكرا ... تقلّ رعان نجد محكمات
يؤبن مع الركاب بكل مصر، ... ويأتين الأقاول بالسراة
غوائر لا سواقط مكفئات ... بإسناد ولا متنخّلات

تركوا خيشا على أيمانهم ... ويسوما عن يسار المنجد
قالوا: والسروات ثلاث: سراة بين تهامة ونجد أدناها الطائف وأقصاها قرب صنعاء، والطائف من سراة بني ثقيف، وهو أدنى السروات إلى مكّة، ومعدن البرم هو السراة الثانية، وهو في بلاد عدوان، والسراة الثالثة أرض عالية وجبال مشرفة على البحر من المغرب وعلى نجد من المشرق. وسراة بني شبابة نسب إليها بعض الرواة ذكر في شبابة لأنّه نسب الشبابي، وبأسفل السروات أودية تصبّ إلى البحر، منها: اللّيث، وقد ذكر، وقنونى والحسبة وضنكان وعشم وبيش ومركوب ونعما، وهو أقربها إلى مكة، وهو وادي عرفات، وعليب من هذه الأودية، وقال أبو عمرو بن العلاء: أفصح الناس أهل السروات، وهي ثلاث، وهي الجبال المطلّة على تهامة ممّا يلي اليمن، أوّلها هذيل وهي تلي السهل من تهامة ثمّ بجيلة وهي السراة الوسطى وقد شركتهم ثقيف في ناحية منها ثمّ سراة الأزد أزد شنوءة وهم بنو كعب بن الحارث بن كعب بن عبد الله بن مالك بن نصر بن الأزد.

(K.) [See رِبْعٌ, below. Another meaning of this phrase will be found later in the present paragraph.] Hence, أَرْبَعَ المَرِيضَ: see 4.

(Az.) رُبْعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ رُبُعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the former a contraction of the latter, (Msb,) [which is the more chaste, but the former is the more common,] A fourth part; (S, Msb, K;) one of four parts; (Mgh;;) as also ↓ رَبِيعٌ, (Msb, K,) like عَشِيرٌ; (TA;) and ↓ مِرْبَاعٌ, like مِعْشَارٌ: (Ktr, and S:) or the last signifies, (Msb, K,) or signifies also, (S,) the fourth part of the spoil, which the chief used to take (S, Msb, K) in the Time of Ignorance: (K:) the pl. of رُبْعٌ and ↓ رُبُعٌ is أَرْبَاعٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (Msb, TA) and رُبُوعٌ [a pl. of mult]: (TA:) and that of ↓ رَبِيعٌ is رُبُعٌ (K.) b2: الرُّبْعُ الهَاشِمِىُّ The same as the صَاع; because the قَفِيز is twelve times what is termed مَنّ: but الرُّبْعُ الحَجَّاجِىُّ is the same as the مُدّ, which is a quarter of what is termed الصَّاعُ الحَجَّاجِىُّ.

(TA.) b2: [Also, for سَيْرُ رِبْعٍ, A journey in which the camels are watered only on the first and fourth days.] b3: [In like manner,] with respect to fever, it signifies The seizing on one day and leaving two days and then coming again on the fourth day [counting the day of the next preceding fit as the first]. (S, K.) [The fever is termed] حُمَّى الرِّبْعِ [The quartan fever;] the fever that occurs on one day and intermits two days and then comes again on the fourth, and so on. (Msb.)

رِبَاعٌ [a pl. of mult.] and أَرْبَاعٌ [a pl. of pauc.]; (S, Msb, K;) both irreg.; for accord. to the rule given by Sb, the pl. should be رِبْعَانٌ [like صرْدَانٌ pl. of صَرَدٌ]: (TA:) pl. fem. رُبَعَاتٌ (S, Msb, K, TA [in the CK, erroneously, رَبْعاتٌ]) and رِبَاعٌ. (K.) Hence the saying, مَا لَهُ هُبَعٌ وَلَا رُبَعٌ He has not a young camel brought forth in the end of the breeding-time nor one brought forth in the beginning thereof. (S, TA.) [See another ex. voce بُلَعٌ.] b2: [Hence, also,] الرُّبَعِ (assumed tropical:) A very small star in the midst of the عَوَائِذ, which are in the head of التِّنِّين [or Draco].

A2: It has also a twofold application; to months and to seasons: and it has a twofold application to months; denoting Two months, (S, Msb, K,) [next] after صَفَرٌ; (S, K;) and they say, (Msb,) one should only say, in speaking of them, شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الأَوَّلُ and شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الآخِرٌ; (S, Msb, K;) [but in the margin of the copy of the S which I have here followed, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author the former is شهر ربيعِ الاول (with a single kesreh, and with no syll. sign to الاول); and in another copy of the S I find شهرُ ربيع الاولِ and شَهرُ رَبيع الآخِر;] with the addition of شهر: but it is allowable to say also شَهْرُ رَبِيعِ الأَوَّلِ and شَهْرُ رَبِيعِ الآخِرِ: the word شهر is necessarily added in order to discriminate between the months thus called and the season called ربيع: Az says, the Arabs mention all the months without the word شهر except the two months of ربيع and the month of رَمَضَان: and they say also شَهْرَا رَبِيعٍ and أَشْهُرُ رَبِيعٍ and شُهُورُ رَبِيعٍ: (Msb:) these months were thus called because, when they received this name, they occurred in the season when the earth produced herbage. (Msb in art. جمد.) It has a twofold application also to seasons; الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ being The season in which the truffles and the blossoms come, (S, Msb, K,) and this is [also called] رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ [the rabeea of the herbage, properly called the spring of Arabia]; (S;) and الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى The season in which fruits ripen; (S, Msb, K;) [also called رَبِيعُ الثِّمَارِ;] but some people call this الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ; (S, TA;) and the season which follows the winter, and in which the truffles and the blossoms come, they call الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى; but all of them agree that the خَرِيف [or autumn] is called الرَّبِيعُ: AHn says, the two divisions of the winter [by which he means the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox] are called رَبِيعَانِ; the former being رَبِيعُ المَآءِ وَالأَمْطَار ِ [the rabeea of the water and the rains, in which the rain called الوَسْمِىّ, which is termed the first of the rains, commences]; and the second being رَبِيعُ النَّبَاتِ [or رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ the rabeea of the herbage], because the herbage therein attains to its last stage: and he adds, that رَبِيعٌ is applied by the Arabs to the whole winter, [meaning, again, the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox,] because of the moisture, or rain: (TA:) or the year consists of six seasons; (so in the K; but in the S, “and I heard Abu-l-Ghowth say, the Arabs make the year to be six seasons; ”) two months thereof are called الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ; and two months, صَيْفٌ; and two months, قَيْظٌ; (S, K;) and two months, ربيع الثانى, (so in a copy of the S,) or رَبِيعٌ الثّانى, (so in another copy of the S, [but in the margin of this latter, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author it is ربيعُ الثانى, without tenween,]) or الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى; (K;) and two months, خَرِيفٌ; and two months, شِتَآءٌ. (S, K.) Az relates, with respect to the seasons and divisions of the year, on the authority of Aboo-Yahyà Ibn-Kibáseh, who possessed very great knowledge thereof, that the year consists of four seasons; namely, الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ, which the vulgar call الخَرِيفُ [The autumn]; then الشِّتَآءُ [the winter]; then الصَّيْفُ, which is الرَّبِيعُ الآخِرُ [or الثَّانِى, i. e. the spring]; then القَيْظُ [the summer, or hot season]: all this is what the Arabs in the desert say: the ربيع which is with the Persians the خريف, he says, commences on the third of أَيْلُول [September O. S.]; and the شِتَآء, on the third of كَانُون الأَوَّل [December O. S.]; and the صيف which is with the Persians the ربيع. on the fifth of آذَار [March O. S.]; and the قيظ which is with the Persians the صيف, on the fourth of حَزِيرَان [June O. S.]: and Aboo-Yahyà adds, the ربيع of the people of El-' Irák agrees with the ربيع of the Persians, which is after the شتاء [or winter], and which is the season of the flowers, or roses, and is the most temperate of the seasons: the people of El-' Irák, he says, have rain in all the winter, and have abundance of herbage in the خريف, which the Arabs call الربيع الاوّل: and Az says, the quarter of the خريف is called خريف because the fruits are gathered therein; and the Arabs call it ربيع because the first rain [which is called الوَسْمِىّ] falls therein. (TA.) The pl. of ربيع is أَرْبِعَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and أَرْبِعَآءُ [a pl. of mult.] (S, Msb, K) and رِبَاعٌ; (AHn, K;) or the first of these is pl. of ربيع الكلأ (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K) and of the ربيع of the months; (Fr, Msb;) but the second is pl. of ربيع in the sense of جَدْوَلٌ, to be explained below. (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K.) Hence the phrase in a supplication, mentioned in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلِ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِى [O God, make Thou the Kur-án to be the life, or ease, of my heart]; because the heart of man becomes lively, or at ease, in the season called رَبِيع. (TA.) Hence also, (TA,) أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ The هُدْهُد [or hoopoe]; (K;) because it appears with the [season called] ربيع. (TA.) [See also, respecting the seasons &c., the word زَمَنٌ.] b2: Also The rain in the [season called] رَبيع [as meaning the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox, (which includes what is really the spring of Arabia, called “ the rabeea of the herbage,”) accord. to a statement of AHn cited above, and accord. to what is stated on the authority of Az voce نَوْءٌ]: (S, K:) or [only, accord. to some,] the rain which is after the وَسْمِىّ, and after which is [that called] the صَيْف, and then the حَمِيم: or, accord. to AHn, rain whenever it comes: Az says, I have heard the Arabs call thus the first rain falling upon the earth in the days of the خَرِيف [or autumn]: (TA:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَرْبِعَةٌ and [of mult.] رِبَاعٌ. (AHn, TA.) [See also, respecting the rains, the word زَمَنٌ.] b3: Also Herbage; green herbage which the beasts eat; (TA;) [properly] the herbage that is produced by the first rain in the quarter which is called the رَبِيع, and which is commonly called the خَرِيف [or autumn], (Msb in art. زمن,) [continuing its growth during the winter-quarter, which is also called the رَبِيع, and which includes, as stated above, what is really the spring of Arabia, called “ the rabeea of the herbage,” wherein, as AHn says, the herbage attains to its last stage: it seems generally to mean the spring-herbage, which is earlier or later in different latitudes:] pl. أَرِْبعَةٌ. (TA.) [Hence,] a poet says, يَدَاكَ يَدٌ رَبِيعُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا وَفِى الأُخْرَى الشُّهُورُ مِنَ الحَرَامِ meaning (assumed tropical:) [Thy two hands are such that] one hand has in it the means of the plentiful subsistence of mankind, [and in the other are the sacred months, i. e.] in the other is [that which causes] security, and safeguard, and the preservation of what is to be regarded as sacred and inviolable. (TA.) [Compare Proverbs iii. 16.] b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A rivulet, or streamlet; (Msb, K;) i. q. جَدْوَلٌ: (S, Msb, K:) or i. q. نَهْرٌ: (Mgh:) or نَهْرٌ صَغِيرٌ: (Har p. 402:) (tropical:) a rivulet, or streamlet, that runs to palmtrees: and رَبِيعُ السَّاقِى, a subst prefixed to its epithet, occurring in a trad., (assumed tropical:) the river [or rivulet] that waters seed-produce: (TA:) pl. أَرْبِعَآءُ (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K) and رِبْعَانٌ. (TA.) A poet says, describing one drinking much, فُوهُ رَبِيعٌ وَكَفُّهُ قَدَحٌ (assumed tropical:) His mouth is a river [and his hand is a bowl]. (TA.) b5: Also A share, or portion, of water for [irrigating] land, (IDrd, K, TA,) whatever it be: or, as some say, a share, or portion, thereof for the quarter of a day or night; but this is not of valid authority. (TA.) You say, لِفُلَانٍ مِنْ هٰذَا المَآءِ رَبِيعٌ, (K, TA,) or, as in some copies of the K, فِى, instead of مِنْ, i. e. To such a one belongs a share, or portion, of this water [for irrigating land]. (TA.) b6: The dim. of رَبِيعٌ is ↓ رُبَيِّعٌ. (Msb.) رُبَيِّعٌ: see رُبَاعٌ: A2: and see also رَبِيعٌ, last sentence.

رَبَاعَةٌ: see رِبْعَةٌ, in two places.

(S, K.) You say, هُوَ عَلَى رِبَاعَةِ قَوْمِهِ, [properly He is over the affairs of his people, as indicated above, voce رِبْعَةٌ, last sentence,] meaning He is the head, or chief, of his people. (TA.) Abu-l- Kásim El-Isbahánee says, رِبَاعَةٌ is metaphorically used to signify (tropical:) The being a head, or chief; or the office of head, or chief; in consideration of the taking of the مِرْبَاع [or fourth part of the spoil, which was the share of the chief]: and hence one says, لَايُقِيمُ رِبَاعَةَ القَوْمِ غَيْرُ فُلَانٍ (tropical:) [None will act vigorously in the office of head, or chief, of the people, except such a one]. (TA.) رَبِيعَةٌ A stone that is raised, or lifted, (S, K, TA,) for trial of strength: (K, TA:) applied only to a stone. (Az, TA.) A2: A helmet of iron. (Lth, S, K.)

نَابَانِ, and [two called] ضَاحِكَانِ, and six أَرْحَآء, on each side [three], and [two teeth called]

A2: Also fem. of رَبَاعٍ [q. v.]. (S, K.) رَبَّاعٌ One who often buys, or sells, رِبَاع, meaning houses, or places of abode.

A2: رَبِيعٌ رَابِعٌ A fruitful, or plentiful, ربيع [meaning the season so called]. (ISk, K.) b2: One does not say يَوْمٌ رَابِعٌ like as one says يَوْمٌ قَائِظٌ &c., because there is no corresponding verb, like قَاظَ, &c., for such a verb would have no meaning of heat nor of cold. (IB.) A3: هُوَ رَابِعٌ عَلَى حَالِهِ He is abiding, or continuing, in his state, or condition. (TA.) أَرْبَعٌ: see أَرْبَعَةٌ.

[because he meant thereby يَوْمُ الأَرْبِعَآءُ]; but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَتِ الأَرْبِعَآءُ بِمَا فِيهِنَّ, making it fem. and pl., and employing it like a n. of number: (Lh:) Th is related to have mentioned أَرَابِيعُ as a pl. of الأَرْبِعَآءُ; but ISd says, I am not sure of this.
