علم السحر
هو: علم يستفاد منه حصول ملكة نفسانية يقتدر بها على أفعال غريبة بأشياء خفية قاله في كشاف اصطلاحات الفنون.
وفي كشف الظنون: هو ما خفي سببه وصعب استنابطه لأكثر العقول.
وحقيقته: كل ما سحر العقول وانقادت إليه النفوس بخدعة وتعجب واستحسان فتميل إلى إصغاء الأقوال والأفعال الصادرة عن الساحر.
فعلى هذا التقدير هو: علم باحث عن معرفة الأحوال الفلكية وأوضاع الكواكب وعن ارتباط كل منها مع الأمور الأرضية من المواليد الثلاثة على وجه خاص ليظهر من ذلك الارتباط والامتزاج عللها وأسبابها وتركيب الساحر في أوقات المناسبة من الأوضاع الفلكية والأنظار الكوكبية بعض المواليد ببعض فيظهر ما جل أثره وخفي سببه من أوضاع عجيبة وأفعال غريبة تحيرت فيها العقول وعجزت عن حل خفاها أفكار الفحول.
أما منفعة هذا: العلم فالاحتراز عن عمله لأنه محرم شرعا إلا أن يكون لدفع ساحر يدعي النبوة فعند ذلك يفترض وجود شخص قادر لدفعه بالعمل ولذلك قال بعض العلماء:
إن تعلم السحر فرض كفاية وإباحة الأكثرون دون عمله إلا إذا تعين لدفع المتنبي.
واختلف الحكماء في طرق السحر:
فطريق الهند: بتصفية النفس وطريق النبط: بعمل العزائم في بعض الأوقات المناسبة.
وطريق اليونان: بتسخير روحانية الأفلاك والكواكب.
وطريق العبرانيين والقبط والعرب: بذكر بعض الأسماء المجهولة المعاني فكأنه قسم من العزائم زعموا أنهم سخروا الملائكة القاهرة للجن. فمن الكتب المؤلفة في هذا الفن: الإيضاح للأندلسي والبساطين لاستخدام الأنس وأرواح الجن والشياطين وبغية الناشد ومطلب القاصد على طريقة العبرانيين والجمهرة أيضا ورسائل أرسطو إلى الإسكندر وغاية الحكيم للمجريطي وكتاب طيماؤس وكتاب الوقوفات للكواكب على طريقة اليونانيين وكتاب سحر النبط لابن وحشية وكتاب العمي على طريقة العبرانيين ومرآة المعاني في إدراك العالم الإنساني على طريقة الهند انتهى ما في كشف الظنون
وفي تاريخ ابن خلدون علم السحر والطلسمات هو: علم بكيفية استعدادات تقتدر النفوس البشرية بها على التأثيرات في عالم العناصر إما بغير معين أو بمعين من الأمور السماوية والأول هو: السحر والثاني: هو الطلسمات.
ولما كانت هذه العلوم مهجورة عند الشرائع لما فيها من الضرر ولما يشترط فيها من الوجهة إلى غير الله من كوكب أو غيره كانت كتبها كالمفقود بين الناس إلا ما وجد في كتب الأمم الأقدمين فيما قبل نبوة موسى عليه السلام مثل: النبط والكلدانيين فإن جميع من تقدمه من الأنبياء لم يشرعوا الشرائع ولا جاؤوا بالأحكام إنما كانت كتبهم مواعظ توحيد الله وتذكير بالجنة والنار وكانت هذه العلوم في أهل بابل من السريانيين والكلدانيين وفي أهل مصر من القبط وغيرهم وكان لهم فيها التأليف والآثار ولم يترجم لنا من كتبهم فيها إلا القليل مثل:
الفلاحة النبطية من أوضاع أهل بابل فأخذ الناس منها هذا العلم وتفننوا فيه ووضعت بعد ذلك الأوضاع مثل: مصاحف الكواكب السبعة وكتاب طمطم الهندي في صور الدرج والكواكب وغيرهم.
ثم ظهر بالمشرق جابر بن حيان كبير السحرة في هذه الملة فتصفح كتب القوم واستخرج الصناعة وغاص على زبدتها واستخرجها ووضع فيها غيرها من التآليف وأكثر الكلام فيها وفي صناعة السيمياء لأنها من توابعها لأن إحالة الأجسام النوعية من صورة إلى أخرى إنما يكون بالقوة النفسية لا بالصناعة العملية فهو من قبيل السحر ثم جاء مسلمة بن أحمد المجريطي إمام أهل الأندلس في التعاليم والسحريات فلخص جميع تلك الكتب وهذبها وجمع طرقها في كتابه الذي سماه غاية الحكيم ولم يكتب أحد في هذا العلم بعده ولنقدم هنا مقدمة يتبين بها حقيقة السحر وذلك أن النفوس البشرية وإن كانت واحدة بالنوع فهي مختلفة بالخواص وهي أصناف كل صنف مختص بخاصية واحدة بالنوع لا توجد في الصنف الآخر وصارت تلك الخواص فطرة وجبلة لصنفها.
فنفوس الأنبياء عليهم السلام لها خاصية تستعد بها للمعرفة الربانية ومخاطبة الملائكة عليهم السلام عن الله - سبحانه وتعالى - كما مر وما يتبع ذلك من التأثير في الأكوان واستجلاب روحانية الكواكب للتصرف فيها والتأثير بقوة نفسانية أو شيطانية.
فأما تأثير الأنبياء فمدد إلهي وخاصية ربانية ونفوس الكهنة لها خاصية الاطلاع على المغيبات بقوى شيطانية وهكذا كل صنف مختص بخاصية لا توجد في الآخر.
والنفوس الساحرة على مراتب ثلاثة يأتي شرحها:
فأولها: المؤثرة بالهمة فقط من غير إله ولا معين وهذا هو الذي تسميه الفلاسفة: السحر.
والثاني: بمعين من مزاج الأفلاك أو العناصر أو خواص الأعداد ويسمونه: الطلسمات وهو أضعف رتبة من الأول. والثالث: تأثير في القوى المتخيلة يعمد صاحب هذا التأثير إلى القوى المتخيلة فيتصرف فيها بنوع من التصرف ويلقي فيها أنواعا من الخيالات والمحاكات وصورا مما يقصده من ذلك ثم ينزلها إلى الحسن من الرائين بقوة نفسه المؤثرة فيه فينظر الراؤون كأنها في الخارج وليس هناك شيء من ذلك كما يحكي عن بعضهم أنه يرى البساتين والأنهار والقصور وليس هناك شيء من ذلك ويسمى هذا عند الفلاسفة: الشعوذة أو الشعبذة هذا تفصيل مراتبه.
ثم هذه الخاصية تكون في الساحرة بالقوة شأن القوى البشرية كلها وإنما تخرج إلى الفعل بالرياضة ورياضة السحر كلها إنما تكون بالتوجه إلى الأفلاك والكواكب والعوالم العلوية والشياطين بأنواع التعظيم والعبادة والخضوع والتذلل فهي لذلك وجهه إلى غير الله وسجود له والوجهة إلى غير الله كفر فلهذا كان السحر كفرا والكفر من مواده وأسبابه كما رأيت ولهذا اختلف الفقهاء في قتل الساحر هل هو لكفره السابق على فعله أو لتصرفه بالإفساد وما ينشأ عنه من الفساد في الأكوان والكل حاصل منه.
ولما كانت المرتبتان الأوليان من السحر لهما حقيقة في الخارج والمرتبة الأخيرة الثالثة لا حقيقة لها اختلف العلماء في السحر هل هو حقيقة أو إنما هو تخييل؟
فالقائلون بأن له حقيقة: نظروا إلى المرتبتين الأوليين.
والقائلون بأن لا حقيقة له: نظروا إلى المرتبة الثالثة الأخيرة فليس بينهم اختلاف في نفس الأمر بل إنما جاء من قبل اشتباه هذه المراتب والله أعلم.
واعلم أن وجود السحر لا مرية فيه بين العقلاء من أجل التأثير الذي ذكرناه وقد نطق به القرآن قال الله تعالى: {وَلَكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّى يَقُولا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلا تَكْفُرْ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِ وَمَا هُمْ بِضَارِّينَ بِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ} .
وسحر رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - حتى كان يخيل إليه أنه يفعل الشيء ولا يفعله وجعل سحره في مشط ومشاقة وجف طلعة ودفن في بئر ذروان فأنزل الله عز وجل عليه في المعوذتين {وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ} .
قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها: فكان لا يقرأ على عقدة من تلك العقد التي سحر فيها إلا انحلت.
وأما وجود السحر في أهل بابل وهم الكلدانيون من النبط والسريانيون فكثير ونطق به القرآن وجاءت به الأخبار
وكان للسحر في بابل ومصر زمان بعثه موسى عليه السلام أسواق نافقة ولهذا كانت معجزة موسى من جنس ما يدعون ويتناغون فيه وبقي من آثار ذلك في البرابي بصعيد مصر شواهد دالة على ذلك ورأينا بالعيان من يصور صورة الشخص المسحور بخواص أشياء مقابلة لما نواه وحلوله موجودة بالمسحور وأمثال تلك المعاني من أسماء وصفات في التأليف والتفريق
ثم يتكلم على تلك الصورة التي أقامها مقام الشخص المسحور عينا أو معنى ثم ينفث من ريقه بعد اجتماعه في فيه بتكرير مخارج تلك الحروف من الكلام السوء ويعقد على ذلك المعنى في سبب أعده لذلك تفاؤلا بالعقد واللزام وأخذ العهد على من أشرك به من الجن في نفثه في فعله ذلك استشعارا للعزيمة ولتلك البنية والأسماء السيئة روح خبيثة تخرج منه مع النفخ متعلقة بريقه الخارج من فيه بالنفث فتنزل عنها أرواح خبيثة ويقع عن ذلك بالمسحور ما يحاوله الساحر.
وشاهدنا أيضا من المنتحلين للسحر عمله من يشير إلى كساء أو جلد ويتكلم عليه في سره فإذا هو مقطوع مترف ويشير إلى بطون الغنم كذلك في مراعيها بالبعج فإذا أمعاؤها ساقطة من بطونها إلى الأرض.
وسمعنا أن بأرض الهند لهذا العهد من يشير إلى إنسان فيتحتت قلبه ويقع ميتا وينقب عن قلبه فلا يوجد في حشاه ويشير إلى الرمانة وتفتح فلا يوجد من حبوبها شيء.
وكذلك سمعنا أن بأرض السودان وأرض الترك من يسحر السحاب فيمطر الأرض المخصوصة.
وكذلك رأينا من عمل الطلسمات عجائب في الأعداد المتحابة وهي رك رف د أحد العددين مائتان وعشرون والآخر مائتان وأربعة وثمانون.
ومعنى المتحابة: أن أجزاء كل واحد التي فيه من نصف وثلث وربع وسدس وخمس وأمثالها إذا جمع كان مساويا للعدد الآخر صاحبه فيسمى لأجل ذلك: المتحابة.
ونقل أصحاب الطلسمات: أن لتلك الأعداد أثرا في الإلفة بين المتحابين واجتماعهما إذا وضع لهما مثالان أحدهما بطالع الزهرة وهي في بيتها أو شرفها ناظرة إلى القمر نظر مودة وقبول ويجعل طالع الثاني سابع الأول ويضع على أحد التمثالين أحد العددين والآخر على الآخر ويقصد بالأكثر الذي يراد ائتلافه أعني المحبوب ما أدري الأكثر كمية أو الأكثر أجزاء فيكون لذلك من التأليف العظيم بين المتحابين ما لا يكاد ينفك أحدهما عن الآخر قاله صاحب الغاية وغيره من أئمة هذا الشأن وشهدت له التجربة.
وكذا طابع الأسد ويسمى أيضا: طابع الحصى وهو أن يرسم في قالب هذا الطابع صورة أسد شائلا ذنبه عاضا على حصاة قد قسمها بنصفين وبين يديه صورة حية منسابة من رجليه إلى قبالة وجهه فاغرة فاها إلى فيه وعلى ظهره صورة عقرب تدب ويتحين برسمه حلول الــشمس بالوجه الأول أو الثالث من الأسد بشرط صلاح النيرين وسلامتهما من النحوس فإذا وجد ذلك وعثر عليه طبع في ذلك الوقت في مقدار المثقال فما دونه من الذهب وغمس بعد في الزعفران محلولا بماء الورد ورفع في خرقة حرير صفراء فإنهم يزعمون أن لممسكه من العز على السلاطين في مباشرتهم وخدمتهم وتسخيرهم له ما لا يعبر عنه وكذلك السلاطين فيه من القوة والعز على من تحت أيديهم ذكر ذلك أيضا أهل هذا الشأن في الغاية وغيرها وشهدت له التجرية.
وكذلك وفق المسدس المختص بالــشمس ذكروا أنه يوضع عند حلول الــشمس في شرفها وسلامتها من النحوس وسلامة القمر بطالع ملوكي يعتبر فيه نظر صاحب العاشر لصاحب الطالع نظر مودة وقبول ويصلح فيه ما يكون في مواليد الملوك من الأدلة الشريفة ويرفع خرقة حرير صفراء بعد أن يغمس في الطيب فزعموا أنه له أثرا في صحابة الملوك وخدمتهم ومعاشرتهم وأمثال ذلك كثيرة.
وكتاب الغاية لمسلمة بن أحمد المجريطي هو مدون هذه الصناعة وفيه استيفاؤها وكمال مسائلها. وذكر لنا1 أن الإمام الفخر بن الخطيب وضع كتابا في ذلك وسماه: بالسر المكتوم وإنه بالمشرق يتداوله أهله ونحن لم نقف عليه والإمام لم يكن من أئمة هذا الشأن فيما نظن ولعل الأمر بخلاف ذلك وبالمغرب صنف من هؤلاء المنتحلين لهذه الأعمال السحرية يعرفون بالبعاجين وهم الذين ذكرت أولا أنهم يشيرون إلى الكساء أو الجلد فيتخرق ويشيرون إلى بطون الغنم بالبعج فتنبعج ويسمى أحدهم لهذا العهد باسم: البعاج لأن أكثر ما ينتحل من السحر بعج الأنعام يرتب بذلك أهلها ليعطوه من فضلها وهم متسترون بذلك في الغاية خوفا على أنفسهم من الحكام لقيت منهم جماعة وشاهدت من أفعالهم هذه بذلك وأخبروني أن لهم وجهة ورياضة خاصة بدعوات كفرية وإشراك روحانيات الجن والكواكب سطرت فيها صحيفة عندهم تسمى الخزيرية يتدارسونها وإن بهذه الرياضة والوجهة يصلون إلى حصول هذه الأفعال لهم وإن التأثير الذي لهم إنما هو فيما سوى الإنسان الحر من المتاع والحيوان والرقيق يعبرون عن ذلك بقولهم: إنما انفعل فيما تمشي فيه الدراهم أي: ما يملك ويباع ويشترى من سائر الممتلكات هذا ما زعموه وسألت بعضهم فأخبرني به.
وأما أفعالهم فظاهرة موجودة وقفنا على الكثير منها وعاينتها من غير ريبة في ذلك هذا شأن السحر والطلسمات وآثارهما في العالم
فأما الفلاسفة ففرقوا بين السحر والطلسمات بعد أن أثبتوا أنهما جميعا أثر للنفس الإنسانية واستدلوا على وجود الأثر للنفس الإنسانية بأن لها آثارا في بدنها على غير المجرى الطبعي وأسبابه الجسمانية بل آثار عارضة من كيفيات الأرواح تارة كالسخونة الحادثة عن الفرح والسرور من جهة التصورات النفسانية أخرى كالذي يقع من قبل التوهم فإن الماشي على حرف حائط أو على حبل منتصب إذا قوي عنده توهم السقوط سقط بلا شك ولهذا تجد كثيرا من الناس يعودون أنفسهم ذلك حتى يذهب عنهم هذا الوهم فتجدهم يمشون على حرف الحائط والحبل المنتصب ولا يخافون السقوط فثبت أن ذلك من آثار النفس الإنسانية وتصورها للسقوط من أجل الوهم وإذا كان ذلك أثرا للنفس في بدنها من غير الأسباب الجسمانية الطبيعية فجائز أن يكون لها مثل هذا الأثر في غير بدنها إذ نسبتها إلى الأبدان في ذلك النوع من التأثير واحدة لأنها غير حالة في البدن ولا منطبعة فيه فثبت أنها مؤثرة في سائر الأجسام.
وأما التفرقة عندهم بين السحر والطلسمات فهو: أن السحر لا يحتاج الساحر فيه إلى معين وصاحب الطلسمات يستعين بروحانيات الكواكب وأسرار الأعداد وخواص الموجودات وأوضاع الفلك المؤثرة في عالم العناصر كما يقوله المنجمون.
ويقولون: السحر اتحاد روح بروح. والطلسم: اتحاد روح بجسم.
ومعناه عندهم: ربط الطبائع العلوية السماوية بالطبائع السفلية.
والطبائع العلوية هي: روحانيات الكواكب ولذلك يستعين صاحبه في غالب الأمر بالنجامة.
والساحر عندهم: غير مكتسب لسحره بل هو مفطور عندهم على تلك الجبلة المختصة بذلك النوع من التأثير.
والفرق عندهم بين المعجزة والسحر أن المعجزة إلهية تبعث في النفس ذلك التأثير فهو مؤيد بروح الله على فعله ذلك والساحر إنما يفعل ذلك من عند نفسه وبقوته النفسانية وبإمداد الشياطين في بعض الأحوال.
فبينهما الفرق في المعقولية والحقيقة والذات في نفس الأمر وإنما نستدل نحن على التفرقة بالعلامات الظاهرة وهي: وجود المعجزة لصاحب الخير وفي مقاصد الخير وللنفوس المتمحضة للخير والتحدي بها على دعوى النبوة والسحر إنما يوجد لصاحب الشر وفي أفعال الشر في الغالب من التفريق بين الزوجين وضرر الأعداء وأمثال ذلك وللنفوس المتمحضة للشر
هذا هو الفرق بينهما عند الحكماء الإلهيين وقد يوجد لبعض المتصوفة وأصحاب الكرامات تأثير أيضا في أحوال العالم وليس معدودا من جنس السحر وإنما هو بالإمداد الإلهي لأن طريقتهم ونحلتهم من آثار النبوة وتوابعها ولهم في المدد الإلهي حظ على قدر حالهم وإيمانهم وتمسكهم بكلمة الله وإذا اقتدر أحد منهم على أفعال الشر فلا يأتيها لأنه متقيد فيما يأتيه ويذره للأمر الإلهي فما لا يقع لهم فيه الإذن لا يأتونه بوجه ومن أتاه منهم فقد عدل عن طريق الحق وربما سلب حاله.
ولما كانت المعجزة بإمداد روح الله والقوى الإلهية فلذلك لا يعارضها شيء من السحر وانظر شأن سحرة فرعون مع موسى في معجزة العصا كيف تلقفت ما كانوا يأفكون وذهب سحرهم واضمحل كأن لم يكن وكذلك لما أنزل على النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - في المعوذتين {وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ} قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها: فكان لا يقرؤها على عقدة من العقد التي سحر فيها إلا انحلت فالسحر لا يثبت مع اسم الله وذكره.
وقد نقل المؤرخون أن زركش كاويان وهي راية كسرى كان فيه الوفق المئيني العددي منسوجا بالذهب في أوضاع فلكية رصدت لذلك الوفق ووجدت الراية يوم قتل رستم بالقادسية واقعة على الأرض بعد انهزام أهل فارس وشتاتهم وهو الطلسمات والأوفاق مخصوص بالغلب في الحروب وإن الراية التي يكون فيها أو معها لا تنهزم أصلا إلا أن هذه عارضها المدد الإلهي من إيمان أصحاب رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وتمسكهم بكلمة الله فانحل معها كل عقد سحري ولم يثبت وبطل ما كانوا يعملون.
وأما الشريعة فلم تفرق بين السحر والطلسمات وجعلتهما بابا واحدا محظورا لأن الأفعال إنما أباح لنا الشارع منها ما يهمنا في ديننا الذي فيه صلاح آخرتنا أو في معاشنا الذي فيه صلاح دنيانا وما لا يهمنا في شيء منهما فإن كان فيه ضرر ونوع ضرر كالسحر الحاصل ضرره بالوقوع يلحق به الطلسمات لأن أثرهما واحد وكالنجامة التي فيها نوع ضرر باعتقاد التأثير فتفسد العقيدة الإيمانية برد الأمور إلى غير الله تعالى فيكون حينئذ ذلك الفعل محظورا على نسبته في الضرر وإن لم يكن مهما علينا ولا فيه ضرر فلا أقل من أن تركه قربة إلى الله فإن من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه فجعلت الشريعة باب السحر والطلسمات والشعوذة بابا واحدا لما فيها من الضرر وخصته بالحظر والتحريم.
وأما الفرق عندهم بين المعجزة والسحر: فالذي ذكره المتكلمون أنه راجع إلى التحدي وهو دعوى وقوعها على وفق ما ادعاه قالوا: والساحر مصروف عن مثل هذا التحدي فلا يقع منه وقوع المعجزة على وفق دعوى الكاذب غير مقدور لأن دلالة المعجزة على الصدق عقلية لأن صفة نفسها التصديق فلو وقعت مع الكذب لاستحال الصادق كاذبا وهو محال فإذا لا تقع المعجزة مع الكاذب بإطلاق.
وأما الحكماء: فالفرق بينهما عندهم كما ذكرناه فرق ما بين الخير والشر في نهاية الطرفين فالساحر لا يصدر منه الخير ولا يستعمل في أسباب الخير وصاحب المعجزة لا يصدر منه الشر ولا يستعمل في أسباب الشر فكأنهما على طرفي النقيض في أصل فطرتهم والله يهدي من يشاء وهو القوي العزيز لا رب سواه.
ومن قبيل هذه التأثيرات النفسانية الإصابة بالعين وهو تأثير من نفس المعيان عندما يستحسن بعينه مدركا من الذوات أو الأحوال ويفرط في استحسانه وينشأ عن ذلك الاستحسان حينئذ أنه يروم معه سلب ذلك الشيء عمن اتصف به فيؤثر فساده وهو جبلة فطرية أعني هذه الإصابة بالعين.
والفرق بينها وبين التأثيرات وإن كان منها ما لا يكتسب أن صدورها راجع إلى اختيار فاعلها والفطري منها قوة صدروها لا نفس صدروها ولهذا قالوا: القاتل بالسحر أو بالكرامة يقتل والقاتل بالعين لا يقتل وما ذلك إلا لأنه ليس مما يريده ويقصده أو يتركه وإنما هو مجبور في صدوره عنه والله أعلم بما في الغيوب ومطلع على ما في السرائر انتهى كلام ابن خلدون ومن عينه نقلت هنا وفي كل موضع من هذا الكتاب والله تعالى الموفق للحق والصواب.

(IAth, L.) لِيَوْمِ ↓ وَقَّتُّهُ كَذَا [I appointed him, or it, for such a day]; like أَجَّلْتُهُ. (S.) b2: In the following words of the Kur. [lxxvii. 11,] وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ, ↓ اقتت is a dial. form of وُقِّتَتْ, like as أُجُوهٌ is of وُجُوهٌ; (S;) and the meaning is And when the Apostles shall have one [particular] time assigned to them to decide between the people [to whom they have been sent to preach]: (Zj:) or, shall be collected at their appointed time, on the day of resurrection. (Fr.) This is the general reading: but there are other reading; namely, وُقِّتَتْ, and وُقِتَتْ, (S, TA,) and وُوقِتَتْ, which last is of the measure فُوعِلَتْ, from المُوَاقَتَةُ.

(M.) You say, ذَرَّ عَيْنَهُ, (TA,) and ذَرَّ عَيْنَهُ بِالذَّرُورِ, aor. ـُ (M, TA,) inf. n. ذَرٌّ, (K, TA,) He put the medicament called ذَرُور into his eye. (M, * K, * TA.) b2: Also, (A,) inf. n. as above, (K,) He spread. (A, K.) You say, ذَرَّ اللّٰهُ عِبَادَهُ فِى الأَرْضِ (tropical:) God spread his servants, or mankind, upon the earth. (M, * A.) Whence the word ذُرِّيَّةٌ. (M, TA.) b3: And ذَرَّتِ الأَرْضُ النَّبْتَ The ground put forth the plant, or plants. (K.) A2: ذَرَّ, (T, S, M, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ [contr. to analogy,] (T, M,) inf. n. ذُرُورٌ, (M,) It (a herb, or leguminous plant,) came up, or forth, (IAar, Az, T, S, K,) from the ground: (Az, S:) or it (a herb, or leguminous plant, and a horn,) began to come forth; put forth the smallest portion of itself.

(A, TA.) A3: ذَرَّ is also syn. with تَخَدَّدَ [app. as meaning His flesh became contracted, shrunk, or wrinkled]. (K.)

(T, K.) 3 ذَارَّتْ, (aor. ـَ S,) inf. n. مُذَارَّةٌ and ذِرَارٌ, She (a camel) became evil in her disposition. (Fr, S, K.) Hence the saying of Hoteiäh, satirizing Ez-Zibrikán, and praising the family of Shemmás Ibn-Láy, وَكُنْتَ كَذَاتِ البَوِّ ذَارَتْ بِأَنْفِهَا فَمِنْ ذَاكَ تَبْغِى بُعْدَهُ وَتُهَاجِرُهْ i. e. [And thou wast like her who has a stuffed skin of a young camel made for her and placed near her that she may incline to it and yield her milk,] that has inclined to the young one of another; [and on that account desires its distance from her, and severs herself from it:] in the S we find, for البَوِّ, البَعْلِ; and for بُعْدَهُ, غَيْرَهُ; but the former are the correct readings: ذَارَتْ is a contraction of ذَارَّتْ: or, accord. to some, it is for ذَآءَرَتْ: see art. ذأر. (IB and TA.) b2: One says also, فِى فُلَانٍ ذِرَارٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) In such a one is aversion, arising from anger, like that of a she-camel: (Az, S:) or anger and aversion (Th, M, K, TA) and disapprobation.

(S, K.) ذَرِّىٌّ a rel. n. from ذَرٌّ, (T,) (tropical:) The diversified wavy marks, streaks, or grain, of a sword: (T, M, A, K:) likened to the track of young ants. (M, A.)

(K.) ذُرِّيَّةٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the most chaste form, (Msb,) and ذِرِّيَّةٌ, (Msb, K,) and ذَرِيَّةٌ, this last without a sheddeh to the ر (Msb,) [respecting the derivation of which see art. ذرأ,] (assumed tropical:) Children, or offspring, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) as also ↓ ذَرٌّ, (Msb,) of a man, (S, K,) [and of genii: see art. ذرأ,] male or female: (IAth:) little ones, or young ones.

عق

1 عَقَّ, (Msb, K, TA,) aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. عَقٌّ, (Mgh, O, Msb, TA,) He clave, split, slit, ripped, or rent; (Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA;) and he cut. (Mgh, O, TA.) You say, عَقَّ ثَوْبَهُ He slit, ripped, or rent, his garment. (Msb.) and عُقَّتْ تَمِيمَتُهُ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ [His amulet was cut off among the sons of such a one]; said of a boy when he has attained to the prime of manhood, and become strong, with a tribe; originating from the fact that as long as the boy was an infant, his mother hung upon him amulets to preserve him from the evil eye; and when he became full-grown, they were cut off from him: whence the saying of a poet, بِلَادٌ بِهَا عَقَّ الشَّبَابُ تَمِيمَتِى

وَأَوَّلُ أَرْضٍ مَسَّ جِلْدِى تُرَابُهَا [A country in which the attaining to the prime of manhood cut off my amulet, and the first land of which the dust touched my skin]. (TA.) b2: and [hence,] عَقَّتِ الرِّيحُ المُزْنَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, The wind drew forth a shower of fine rain from the مزن [or clouds containing water]; as though it rent them. (TA.) And عُقَّتِ السَّحَابَةُ The cloud poured forth its water; [as though it were rent;] and ↓ اِنْعَقَّت [means the same]; (TA;) and ↓ اعتقّت [likewise]. (O.) b3: and عَقَّ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ, (S, Msb,) or عَنِ المَوْلُودِ, (K,) aor. ـُ (S, Msb, TA) and عَقِّ, (TA,) inf. n. عَقٌّ, (S, Msb,) He slaughtered as a sacrifice (S, Msb, K, TA) for his child, (S, Msb,) or for the new-born child, (K,) a sheep or goat, (T, Msb, TA,) [generally the latter,] on the seventh day after the birth. (T, S, Msb, TA.) And He shaved the [hair termed] عَقِيقَة [q. v.] (S, TA) of his child, (S,) or of the new-born child. (TA.) b4: And عَقَّ بِالسَّهْمِ He shot the arrow towards the sky; and that arrow was called عَقِيقَةٌ; (S, O, K;) and it was the arrow of self-excuse: they used to do thus in the Time of Ignorance [on the occasion of a demand for blood-revenge]; and if the arrow returned smeared with blood, they were not content save with the retaliation of slaughter; but if it returned clean, they stroked their beards, and made reconciliation on the condition of the bloodwit; the stroking of the beards being a sign of reconciliation: the arrow, however, as IAar says, did not [ever] return otherwise than clean: (S, O:) the origin was this: a man of the tribe was slain, and the slayer was prosecuted for his blood; whereupon a company of the chief men [of the family of the slayer] collected themselves together to the heirs [who claimed satisfaction for the blood] of the slain, and offered the bloodwit, asking forgiveness for the blood; and if the heir [who claimed satisfaction and who acted for himself and his coheirs] was a strong man, impatient of injury, he refused to take the bloodwit; but if weak, he consulted the people of his tribe, and then said to the petitioners, “We have, between us and our Creator, a sign denoting command and prohibition: we take an arrow, and set it on a bow, and shoot it towards the sky; and if it return to us smeared with blood, we are forbidden to take the bloodwit, and are not content save with the retaliation of slaughter; but if it return clean, as it went up, we are commanded to take the bloodwit: ” so they made reconciliation; for this arrow never returned otherwise than clean; and thus they had an excuse in the opinion of the ignorant of them. (L, TA.) A poet (S, O, TA) of the family of the slain, said by some to be of Hudheyl, by IB to be El-As'ar El-Joafee, who was absent from this reconciliation, (TA,) says, عَقُّوا بِسَهْمٍ ثُمَّ قَالُوا صَالِحُوا يَا لَيْتَنِى فِى القَوْمِ إِذْ مَسَحُوا الِلُّحَى

[They shot an arrow towards the sky; them they said, “Make ye reconciliation: ” would that I were among the party when they stroked the beards]: (S, O, TA:) or, as some relate it, the first word is عَقَّوْا, with fet-h to the ق; which belongs to the class of unsound verbs [i. e. to art. عقى]. (S, O.) b5: One says also, عَقَّ وَالِدَهُ, (S, O, K,) or أَبَاهُ, (Msb,) aor. ـُ (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. عُقُوقٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and مَعَقَّةٌ (S, O, K) and عَقٌّ, (TA,) He was undutiful, disobedient, refractory, or ill-mannered, to his parent, or father; contr. of بَرَّهُ; (K;) he broke his compact of obedience to his parent, or father; (TA;) he disobeyed his father; and failed, or neglected, to behave to him in a good, or comely, manner. (Msb.) And عَقَّ الرَّحِمَ, (TA, and Ham p. 93,) like قَطَعَهَا [i. e. He severed the tie, or ties, of relationship, by unkind behaviour to his kindred]. (Ham ib.) and عَقَّ [alone], aor. ـُ inf. n. عُقُوقٌ, [He was undutiful, &c.; or he acted undutifully, &c.; or] he contravened, or opposed, him whom he was under an obligation to obey. (Har p. 158.) عُقُوقُ الوَالِدَيْنِ [Undutiful treatment, &c., of the two parents] is said in a trad. to be one of the great sins. (O.) And it is said in a prov., العُقُوقُ

أَحَدُ الثُّكْلَيْنِ [Undutiful treatment of a parent is one of the two sorts of being bereft of a child]: or, as some relate it, العُقُوقُ ثُكْلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَثْكَلْ [Undutiful treatment of a parent is (like) the bereavement of him who is not (really) bereft of his child]: i. e. he whom his children have treated undutifully (مِنْ عَقَّهُ وَلَدُهُ) is as though he were bereft of his children although they are living. (O.) [See also 3: and 4.] b6: Hence, from عُقُوقُ الوَالِدَيْنِ, the verb is metaphorically used in the saying, in a trad., مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ عَائِشَةَ مَثَلُ العَيْنِ فِى الرَّأْسِ تُؤْذِى صَاحِبَهَا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَعُقَّهَا إِلَّا بِالَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهَا (tropical:) [The similitude of you and of 'Áïsheh is that of the eye in the head, when it hurts its owner, and he cannot treat it severely save with that which is good for it: app. meaning that her severity was for the good of the objects thereof]. (TA.) A2: عَقَّ, intrans., said of lightning: see 7.

A3: عَقَّتْ said of a mare, and of an ass: see 4.

A4: عَقَّتِ الدَّلْوُ, inf. n. عَقُّ, means The bucket came up full from the well; and some of the Arabs say عَقَّت as having تَعْقِيَةٌ for its inf. n.; but it is [said to be] originally ↓ عَقَّقَت, the third ق being changed into ى, [which is then in this case suppressed,] like as they said تَظَنَّيْتُ from الظَّنُّ: [it is, however, mentioned in the TA in art. عقو also, and there expl. as meaning it rose in the well turning round: and from what here follows, it appears to mean it rose swiftly, cleaving the air:] a poet, cited by IAar, says, of a bucket, عَقَّتْ كَمَا عَقَّتْ دَلُوفُ العِقْبَانٌ meaning It clave [the air of] the well, rising swiftly, like the hastening of the swift eagle in its flight towards the prey. (TA in the present art.) 2 عَقَّّ see above, last sentence.3 عَاقَقْتُ فُلَانًا, aor. ـَ inf. n. عِقَاقٌ, I contravened, or opposed, such a one. (TA.)

Such a one did that which was an act of undutifulness, disobedience, refractoriness, or ill manners, to his father or the like]. (S, TA.) [See also عَقَّ وَالِدَهُ, in the latter half of the first paragraph.] b2: and you say, مَا أَعَقَّهُ لِوَالِدِهِ [How undutiful, disobedient, refractory, or ill-mannered, is he to his father!]. (TA.) A2: اعقّت She (a mare, S, O, K, and an ass, TA) conceived, or became pregnant; (S, O, K;) or she did not conceive, or become pregnant, after having been covered by the stallion, or during a year or two years or some years; (K;) and ↓ عَقَّتْ, aor. ـِ (O, K, TA,) the verb being of the class of ضَرَبَ, (TA,) inf. n. عَقَاقٌ and عَقَقٌ (O, K, TA) and عُقُوقٌ, (CK, but not in other copies,) signifies the same, (O, * K, TA,) said of a mare, (O, K,) and of an ass; (O;) or عَقَاقٌ signifies pregnancy itself, as also عِقَاقٌ, (K,) and عَقَقٌ; (S, O;) or عَقَّتْ signifies she became pregnant; and اعقّت, the [hair called] عَقِيقَة grew in her belly upon the young one that she bore. (TA.) b2: Also It (a palm-tree, and a grape-vine) put forth what are termed عِقَّان [q. v.]. (S, O, K.) A3: اعقّهُ He made it bitter; (S, O, K;) namely, water; said of God; like اقعّهُ.

(TA.) b2: انعقّت السَّحَابَهُ The cloud became rent with the water. (S, O, K.) See also 1, first quarter. [And see 8.] b3: انعقّ البَرْقُ and ↓ عَقَّ [of which latter the aor. is probably يَعَقُّ, and the inf. n. عَقَقٌ, said in the K to mean اِنْشِقَاقٌ,] signify تَشَقَّقَ and اِنْشَقَّ [as though meaning The lightning became cloven]; (TA;) [but] the former is expl. as signifying the lightning was, or became, in a state of commotion (تَضَرَّبَ) in the clouds. (S, O.) [Another meaning is suggested by an explanation of عَقِيقَةٌ (q. v.) in relation to lightning.] b4: انعقّ الغُبَارُ i. q. سَطَعَ [app. as meaning The dust spread, or diffused itself]: (IF, O, K:) or اِنْشَقَّ وَسَطَعَ [became cleft, and diffused itself].

(TA.) b2: And عَقْعَقَةٌ signifies also The shaking, or being in a state of commotion, [so as to produce a kind of crackling, or rustling, sound,] of paper, and of a new garment; like قَعْقَعَةٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) عَقٌّ Any cleft, or furrow, and any hole, in sand &c. (S, TA.) See also عَقَّةٌ.

عَقَقٌ: see عَقَاقٌ. b2: It is said in the K to be syn. with عَاقٌّ; but in this sense the correct word is عُقَقٌ. (TA.) عُقَقٌ: see عُقِيقَةٌ, latter half: A2: and see also عَاقٌّ, in two places.

عُقُقٌ, as a sing. and as a pl.: see عَاقٌّ.

عَقَاقٌ is an inf. n. of عَقَّتْ said of a mare (O, K) and of an ass: (O:) or it signifies Pregnancy (AA, S, K) itself; (K;) as also ↓ عِقَاقٌ, (K,) and ↓ عَقَقٌ [which is likewise said to be an inf. n. of عَقَّتْ]. (S.) You say, أَظْهَرَتِ الأَتَانُ عَقَاقًا The she-ass manifested pregnancy. (AA, S, O.) b2: And, accord. to Esh-Shafi'ee, An embryo; or a fœtus. (TA.) A2: عَقَاقِ, like قَطَامِ, [indecl.,] is a [proper] name for العُقُوقُ [Undutifulness, disobedience, refractoriness, or ill manners, to a parent, or the like]: (K, TA:) mentioned by IB, and in the O. (TA.) عُقَاقٌ, applied to water: see عُقٌّ.

عِقَاقٌ: see عَقَاقٌ.

عَقُوقٌ, applied to a mare, (S, O, K, TA,) and to an ass, (TA,) Pregnant: (S, O, K:) or not pregnant after having been covered by the stallion, or during a year or two years or some years; (K;) or it signifies thus also; (O;) having two contr. meanings; (K;) or it is applied to one in the latter state as implying a presage of good; (O, K;) so says AHát; (O, TA;) i. e., as though they meant that she would become pregnant: (TA:) it is extr.; [as being from أَعَقَّتْ;] and one should not say ↓ مُعِقٌّ; or this is a bad dial. var.; (S, O, K;) or, accord. to AA, it is from اعقّت, and عَقُوقٌ is from عَقَّتْ: (TA:) the pl. is عُقُقٌ, and عِقَاقٌ is a pl. pl., (S, O, K,) i. e. pl. of عُقُقٌ. (S, O.) It is said in a prov., طَلَبَ الأَبْلَقَ العَقُوقَ, meaning He sought an impossible thing; because ابلق is applied to a male, and عقوق means pregnant: (S, O, and K in art. بلق) or الابلق العقوق means the dawn, because it breaks, lit, cleaves. (O, and K in art. بلق.) b2: نَوَى

العَقُوقِ means Date-stones that are easily broken, (Lth, S, O, K,) soft to be chewed; (Lth, O, K;) which are given as provender to camels, (S,) or to the pregnant thereof, in consideration of her state, wherefore they are thus called; and which are eaten, or chewed, by the old woman; but this is of the speech of the people of El Basrah, and not known by the Arabs in their desert: (Lth, O:) and sometimes they called a single date-stone of this sort ↓ عَقِيقَةٌ. (S.) A2: See also عَاقٌّ.

عَقِيقٌ Cleft, split, slit, ripped, or rent; and cut; as also ↓ مَعْقُوقٌ. (TA.) b2: And [hence] Any channel which the water of a torrent has cloven (S, O, Msb, * K) of old (Msb) and made wide: (S, O:) and a valley: (O, K:) pl. أَعِقَّةٌ (S, O, Msb, K, TA) and عَقَائِقُ. (TA.) And عَقَائِقُ signifies also Pools of water in cleft furrows: (AHn, TA:) and some say, red sands. (TA.) b3: See also عَقِيقَةٌ, in two places.

A2: Also [Carnelian;] a species of فُصُوص [or stones that are set in rings]; (S;) a sort of stone, (Msb,) or red خَرَز [meaning precious stones], (O, K,) of which فُصُوص are made; (O, Msb;) existing in ElYemen, (K, TA,) near to Esh-Shihr, said by Et-Teefáshee to be brought from mines thereof at San'à, (TA,) and on the shores of the Sea of Roomeeyeh; one kind thereof is of a turbid appearance, like water running from salted flesh-meat, and having in it faint white lines, (K, TA,) and this, Et-Teefáshee says, is what is known by the appellation الرطبى [so in my original]; the best kind is the red; then, the yellow; then, the white; and the other kinds are bad: or, as some say, the streaked (المُشَطَّب) is the best: (TA:) [I omit some absurd assertions in the K and TA respecting various virtues supposed to be possessed by this stone:] the n. un. is with ة: and the pl. is عَقَائِقُ. (O, K.) [العَقِيقُ اليَمَانِىُّ is an appel-lation applied by some to The agate.]

عَقِيقَةٌ [a subst. from عَقِيقٌ, made so by the affix ة. Hence, because cleft, or furrowed, in the earth,] A river, or rivulet. (IAar, O, K.) b2: And A fillet, or bandage, (عِصَابَةٌ,) at the time of its being rent from a garment, or piece of cloth. (IAar, O, K.) b3: And The prepuce of a boy (AO, IAar, O, K) when he is circumcised. (TA.) b4: And [app. because made of cut pieces of skin,] A [leathern water-bag such as is commonly called]

مَزَادَة. (IAar, O, K.) b5: Also The wool of a جَذَع [or sheep in or before its second year]: (S, O, K, TA:) that of a ثَنِىّ [or sheep in its third year] is called جَنِيبَةٌ: (TA:) and the hair of a young one recently born, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA,) that comes forth upon his head in his mother's belly, (TA,) of human beings, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA,) because it is cut off on his seventh day, (Mgh,) and of others, (Msb,) [i. e.] of beasts likewise; (S, O, K, TA;) as also ↓ عَقِيقٌ and ↓ عِقَّةٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) but A 'Obeyd says that he had not heard this last except in relation to human beings and asses: (S, O, K: *) its pl. (i. e. the pl. of عِقَّةٌ) is عِقَقٌ: (O, K:) [the pl. of عَقِيقَةٌ and عَقِيقٌ is عَقَائِقُ: a law of the Sunneh requires that the عَقِيقَة of an infant should be weighed, and its weight in silver be given to the poor: (and Herodotus, in ii. 65, mentions a similar custom as obtaining among the Ancient Egyptians:)] when the hair has once fallen from the young [by its being cut], the term عَقِيقَةٌ ceases to be applied to it: so says Lth: (O, TA:) but it occurs in a trad. applied to hair as being likened to the hair of a recently-born infant. (TA.) b6: Hence, (S, O,) it is applied also to The sheep, or goat, [generally the latter,] that is slaughtered (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) as a sacrifice for the recentlyborn infant (S, Mgh, Msb) on the occasion of the shaving of the infant's hair (O, K) on the seventh day after his birth, (S, Msb,) and of which the limbs are divided, and cooked with water and salt, and given as food to the poor: (Lth, TA:) Z holds it to be thus called from the same word as applied to the hair: but it is said [by some] to be so called because it is slaughtered by cutting the windpipe and gullet and the two external jugular veins: (TA:) the Prophet disallowed this appellation, (Mgh, Msb,) as being of evil omen, (Mgh,) or as though he saw them to regard it as of evil omen, (Msb,) and desired them to use نَسِيكَةٌ in its stead; (Mgh, Msb, TA;) saying I like not العُقُوق. (TA.) b7: عَقِيقَةُ البَرْقِ signifies What remains [for an instant] in the clouds, of the rays, or beams, of lightning; (Lth, O, K;) as also ↓ العُقَقُ; (K;) which, as well as العَقِيقَةُ, is also expl. as meaning lightning which one sees in the midst of the clouds, resembling a drawn sword: (TA:) or عَقِيقَةُ البَرْقِ signifies lightning in a state of commotion in the clouds: (S, O:) or lightning extending in an elongated form in the side, or breadth, of the clouds: (TA:) or lightning that cleaves the clouds, and extends high, into the midst of the sky, without going to the right and left: (S in art. خفو:) or, as expl. by Aboo-Sa'eed, a flash of lightning that has spread in the horizon: (O, voce شَقِيقَةٌ:) a sword is likened thereto: (S, O, K:) and [the pl.] عَقَائِقُ is a name for swords: (O, K:) ↓ عَقِيقٌ, also, signifies lightning. (TA.) b8: And عَقِيقَةٌ signifies also An arrow shot towards the sky; (S, O, K;) the arrow of self-excuse; which was used in the manner described in the explanation of the phrase عَقَّ بِالسَّهْمِ [q. v.]. (S, O.) b9: See also عَقُوقٌ, last signification.

سَحَابَةٌ عَقَّاقَةٌ A cloud pouring forth its water: (TA:) or a cloud much rent by water. (T, TA voce هَيْدَبٌ.) عِقَّانٌ Shoots that come forth from the أُصُول [meaning trunks, or stems,] of palm-trees and of grape-vines; (S, O, K;) and which, if not cut off, cause the اصول to become vitiated, or unsound. (S, O.) [See also صُنْبُورٌ: and see عَوَاقٌّ, below.]

عَقْعَقٌ [The magpie, corvus pica; so called in the present day;] a certain bird, (S, O, Msb, K,) well known, (S, O,) of the size of the pigeon, (Msb,) party-coloured, black and white, (O, Msb, K,) having a long tail, (O, Msb,) said by Is-hák El-Mowsilee to be the same that is called شَجَجَى, (Th, IB, TA,) a species of crow, (IAth, Msb, TA,) wherefore it is said in a trad. that the man in the state of إِحْرَام may kill it; (IAth, TA;) its cry resembles the sound of ع and ق [or the repeated sound of عَقْ]; (O, K;) and the Arabs regard it as an evil omen. (Msb.) [See also صُرَدٌ.]

عَاقٌّ Undutiful, disobedient, refractory, or illmannered, to his parent, or father; (S, * O, * K;) breaking, or one who breaks, his compact of obedience to his parent, or father; (TA;) disobeying, or disobedient to, his father; and failing, or neglecting, to behave to him in a good, or comely, manner; (Msb;) [and severing, or one who severs, the tie, or ties, of relationship, by unkind behaviour to his kindred; (see its verb;)] and ↓ عَقٌّ signifies the same; (O, K;) as also ↓ عُقَقٌ, (S, O, TA,) but in an intensive sense, altered from عَاقٌّ, like غُدَر and فُسَق from غَادِر and فَاسِق, in the K erroneously said to be عَقَقٌ; (TA;) and ↓ عُقُقٌ; (L, and TA as from the K, but not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the CK;) which last signifies also [as a pl.] men severing, or who sever, the ties of relationship, by unkind behaviour to their kindred; and also remote, or distant, enemies: (TA:) [and ↓ عَقُوقٌ is app. used (as Freytag asserts it to be) in the sense of عَاقٌّ in the Fákihet el-Khulatà, p. 55, 1. 7 from the bottom:] the pl. of عَاقٌّ is عَقَقَةٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) like كَفَرَةٌ, (S,) and عُقَّقٌ, like رُكَّعٌ, a form used by Ru-beh, (O,) and أَعِقَّةٌ, which is an extr. [meaning anomalous] pl. (Ham p. 93.) ↓ ذُقٌ عُقَقُ, (S, O,) in a trad., (S,) said by Aboo-Sufyán to Hamzeh on the day of Ohod, when he passed by him slain, (S, * O,) means ذُقٌ جَزَآءَ فِعْلِكَ [Taste thou the recompense of thy deed], (S,) or ذُقِ القَتْلَ [taste thou slaughter], (O,) يَا عَاقُّ [O undutiful, &c.; or, accord. to the explanation in the TA mentioned above, عُقَقُ, for يَا عُقَقُ, means O very undutiful, &c.]. (S, O.) عَوَاقُّ النَّخْلِ The shoots, or offsets, of the palmtrees, that grow forth therewith. (O, K.) [See also عِقَّانٌ.]

أَعَقُّ مِنْ ضَبٍّ [More undutiful, &c., to kindred, than a lizard of the species called ضبّ] is a prov. [mentioned, but not expl., in the O]: IAar says, the female [of the ضبّ] is meant; and its عُقُوق consists in its eating its young ones. (TA.) [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 152-3. And see an ex. of أَعَقُّ in a verse cited in art. زهد, conj. 2.]

مُعِقٌّ: see عَقُوقٌ.

مَعْقُوقٌ: see عَقِيقٌ, first sentence.

ظهر

1 ظَهَرَ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـَ (Msb,) inf. n. ظُهُورٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) [It was, or became, outward, exterior, external, extrinsic, or exoteric: and hence,] it appeared; became apparent, overt, open, perceptible or perceived, manifest, plain, or evident; (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA;) after having been concealed, or latent: (Msb, TA:) and ↓ تظاهر signifies the same. (Har p. 85.) Hence the phrase ظَهَرَ لِى رَأْىٌ (assumed tropical:) [An idea, or opinion, occurred to me], said when one knows what he did not know before. (Msb.) [And هٰذَا مَا يَظْهَرُ لِى (assumed tropical:) This is what appears to me to be the case, or to be the right way or course; or this is my opinion.] ظَهَرَ الحَمْلُ, inf. n. as above, means Pregnancy became apparent, or manifest: it is said that this is not the case in less than three months. (Msb.) and it is said in a trad. of 'Áïsheh, كَانَ يُصَلِّى العَصْرَ فِى حُجْرَتِى قَبْلَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ i. e. [He used to perform the prayer of the afternoon in my chamber] before it (meaning the sun) became high and apparent: (TA:) or وَالــشَّمْسُ فِى حُجْرَتِى لَمْ تَظْهَرْ بَعْدُ i. e. [when the sun was in my chamber,] it not having risen high so as to be on the flat roof [thereof]: referring to the Prophet. (O. [But العَصْرَ must be a mistranscription for الفَجْرَ, i. e. the prayer of the dawn.]) The saying in the Kur [xxiv. 31], وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا [which is app. best rendered And that they discover not their ornature except what is external thereof] has been expl. in seven different ways, most correctly as meaning the clothes: (O, TA:) accord. to 'Áïsheh, it means the bracelet (القُلْب) and the ring (الفَتَخَة): and accord. to I'Ab, the hand and the signet-ring and the face. (TA.) b2: Also He went forth, or out, (Mgh, TA,) to the outside of a place. (O, TA.) b3: And He (a bird) migrated, or went down, from one country or region to another: used in this sense by AHn in relation to the vulture, migrating to Nejd. (L.) b4: ظَهَرَ عَنْهُ, said of a vice, or fault, (O, TA,) or a disgrace, (JK, A, O,) (tropical:) It did not cleave to him; (A, O, TA;) it was remote from him; (TA;) it quitted him, or departed from him. (JK.) b5: ظَهَرْتُ بِهِ, (O, TA,) inf. n. ظَهْرٌ, (K,) (assumed tropical:) I gloried, or boasted, by reason of it. (O, K * TA.) [Respecting a meaning assigned to ظَهَرَ بِفُلَانٍ in the K, see 4.] b6: أَكَلَ الرَّجُلُ أُكْلَةً

ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا ظَهْرَةً means (assumed tropical:) [The man ate some food] in consequence of which] he became fat. (TA.) A2: ظَهَرَهُ He mounted it; went, or got, upon it, or upon the top of it; (S, A, * Mgh, O, Msb, K;) as also ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ; (O;) namely, a house, (S,) or a house-top, (A, Mgh, O,) and a mountain, (A,) and a wall; (O, Msb;) properly, he became upon its back: (Mgh:) and [in like manner] one says, فُلَانٌ نَجْدًا ↓ ظَهَّرَ, inf. n. تَظْهِيرٌ, Such a one mounted, or went up, upon the high region (ظَهْر) of Nejd. (O.) b2: Hence, (Mgh, Msb,) ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and بِهِ, (K,) inf. n. ظُهُورٌ (Bd in xxiv. 31) and ظَهْرٌ also, (Ham p. 301,) He overcame, conquered, subdued, overpowered, or mastered, him; gained the mastery or victory, or prevailed, over him; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) namely, his enemy; (Msb;) and in like manner, [he conquered, won, achieved, or attained, it, i. e.] a thing. (O, TA.) [The saying فُلَانٌ لَا يَظْهَرُ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ is expl. in the L and TA by the words اى لا يَسْلَم, and said to be tropical: but Ibr D thinks that the correct reading is لا يُسَلِّمُ, from التَّسْلِيمُ; and that it is said of one who will not give up, or resign, what is in his hand; so that the meaning is, (tropical:) Such a one is a person whom no one will overcome in respect of that which he holds in his possession.] b3: And [hence also] ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ, (Msb, TA,) inf. n. ظُهُورٌ, (TA,) He knew, became acquainted with, or got knowledge of, him, or it. (Msb, TA.) So in the Kur xxiv. 31, وَالطِّفْلُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَى عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَآءِ [And the young children] who have not attained knowledge of the عورات, (Bd, Jel,) meaning [pudenda, or] parts between the navel and the knee, (Jel,) of women, by reason of their want of discrimination: (Bd:) or (tropical:) who have not attained to the generative faculty; (O, Bd, * TA;) from الظُّهُورُ in the sense of الغَلَبَةُ. (Bd.) So too in the Kur [xviii. 19], إِنْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ If they get knowledge of you. (O, TA.) b4: And [hence] ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ, (Fr, A, O, TA,) and ↓ استظهرهُ, (S, A, O, K,) (tropical:) He knew it, or learned it, by heart; namely, the Kur-án; (A, O, TA;) and he recited it by heart: (A, * TA; and so in the S and O in explanation of the latter:) or [simply] he recited it by heart; namely, the Kur-án; as also ↓ اظهرهُ: (O, K, TA:) in the copies of the K we find أَظْهَرْتُ عَلَى القُرْآنِ and أَظْهَرْتُهُ; but the former is a mistake for ظَهَرْتُ, aor. ـَ (TA.) A3: For another signification of ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ, see 3.

A4: ظَهَرَ بِحَاجَتِى, (S, A, K,) aor. ـَ (TA,) inf. n. ظَهْرٌ; (TK;) and ↓ ظهّرها, (K, TA,) in some copies of the K ظَهَرَهَا; (TA;) and ↓ اظهرها, (K,) inf. n. إِظْهَارٌ; (TA;) and ↓ اِظَّهَرَهَا, (K,) of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ; (TA;) (tropical:) He held the object of my want in little, or light, estimation, or in contempt; (S, A;) [lit.] he put it behind [his] back; (S, K;) as though he put it away, [out of his sight,] and paid no regard to it. (S, TA.) One says also, يَظْهَرُونَ بِهِمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتُونَ

إِلَى أَرْحَامِهِمْ [They hold them in contempt, and do not pay any regard to their ties of relationship]. (S.) b2: See also 10, in three places.

A5: ظَهَرَهُ, (O, K,) aor. ـَ inf. n. ظَهْرٌ, (K,) He struck, or smote, (TA,) or hit, or hurt, (O, K,) his back. (O, K, TA.) A6: ظَهِرَ, (S, O, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. ظَهَرٌ, (O, K,) He (a man, S, O) had a complaint of his back. (S, O, K.) A7: ظَهُرَ, (JK, O, L,) or ظَهَرَ, (K, [but this is app. a mistranscription,]) inf. n. ظَهَارَةٌ, (S, O, L, K,) said of a camel, (JK, S, O,) He was, or became, strong (JK, S, O, L, K) in the back. (L, K.) 2 ظَهَّرَ see 1, near the middle: b2: and again, in the last quarter: b3: and see also 3. b4: ظهّر الثَّوْبَ [and ↓ اظهرهُ, contr. of بطّنهُ and ابطنهُ,] He faced the garment, or piece of cloth; put a facing, or an outer covering, (ظِهَارَة,) to it. (TA.) A2: See also 4, last sentence.3 ظاهرهُ, (A,) inf. n. مُظَاهَرَةٌ, (S, O, Msb,) He aided, or assisted, him; (S, A, O, Msb;) as also عَلَيْهِ ↓ ظَهَرَ. (Th, K.) And ظاهر عَلَيْهِ He aided, or assisted, against him. (TA.) b2: ظاهر بِهِ: see 10. b3: ظاهر بَيْنَهُمَا, (K,) i. e. (TA) بَيْنَ ثَوْبَيْنِ, (S, A, Mgh, TA,) and دِرْعَيْنِ, (A, Mgh, TA,) and نَعْلَيْنِ, (TA,) i. q. طَارَقَ بَيْنَهُمَا, (S, TA,) or طَابَقَ, (A, K, TA,) i. e. (TA) He put them on, or attired himself with them, [namely, two garments, and two coats of mail, and two sandals or soles, or rather, when relating to two soles, he sewed them together,] one over, or outside, the other: (Mgh, TA:) app. from تَظَاهُرٌ in the sense of “ mutual aiding or assisting. ” (IAth.) The phrase ظاهر بِدِرْعَيْنِ requires consideration; and the ب in it should be regarded as meant to denote conjunction; not as a part of the necessary complement of the verb. (Mgh.) ظاهر الدِّرْعَ is said to signify لَأَمَ بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ [app. meaning He folded over and fastened one part of the coat of mail upon another]. (TA.) And ظاهر عَلَيْهِ جِلَالًا means He threw upon him (i. e. a horse) housings or coverings [one over another]. (TA in art. حنذ.) A2: ظاهر مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. ظِهَارٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and مُظَاهَرَةٌ; (JK, TA;) and مِنْهَا ↓ تظاهر, (A, Mgh, O, TA,) and ↓ اِظَّاهَرَ; (Mgh;) and منها ↓ تظهّر, (S, Msb, K,) and ↓ اِظَّهَّرَ; (O, TA;) and منها ↓ ظهّر, (S, O, K,) inf. n. تَظْهِيرٌ; (S;) signify the same; (O;) He said to his wife أَنْتِ عَلَىَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّى

[Thou art to me like the back of my mother]; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) [as though he said رُكُوبُكِ حَرَامٌ عَلَىَّ;] meaning رُكُوبُكِ لِلنِّكَاحِ حَرَامٌ عَلَىَّ كَرُكُوبِ أُمِّى لِلنِّكَاحِ; the back being specified in preference to the بَطْن or فَخِذ or فَرْج because the woman is likened to a beast that is ridden, and the act of نِكَاح to that of رُكُوب: the phrase being a form of divorce used by the Arabs in the Time of Ignorance. (Msb, * TA.) In the Kur lviii. 2 [and 4], some read ↓ يَظَّهَّرُونَ; some

↓ يَظَّاهَرُونَ; and 'Ásim read يُظَاهِرُونَ. (Bd.) The verb is made trans. by means of مِن because the man who uttered this sentence estranged himself from his wife. (IAth.) 4 اظهرهُ He made it apparent, overt, open, perceptible or perceived, manifest, plain, or evident; he showed, exhibited, manifested, displayed, discovered, revealed, or evinced, it; or put it forth: (S, O, K:) [it is also used in relation to a saying, and an action, and the like, as meaning it showed, &c., as above, or it bespoke, it:] and Mtr relates his having heard from one worthy of reliance of the people of Baghdád, that they say ↓ تظاهرتُ بِهِ in the place of أَظْهَرْتُهُ, and scarcely ever employ اظهر in its usual sense. (Har p. 85.) [Hence, اظهر التَّضْعِيفَ He made the doubling of a letter distinct; as in لَحِحَتْ; which, accord. to a general rule, should be لَحَّتْ: opposed to أَدْغَمَ. And اظهر لَهُ كَذَا He showed, &c., to him such a thing: and he made a show of, professed, pretended, or feigned, to him such a thing: as, for instance, love.] b2: أَظْهَرْتُ بِفُلَانٍ means أَعْلَيْتُ بِهِ [a phrase which I have not found except in this instance, app. I elevated, or exalted, such a one: like أَعْلَيْتُهُ, which has this meaning]: (S, IKtt, L, TA:) or أَعْلَنْتُ بِهِ [app. meaning I made such a one to be, or become, publicly known]: (So in the O:) [but the former explanation seems to be regarded by SM as the right; for he remarks that,] accord. to all the copies of the K, the explanation is أَعْلَنَ بِهِ, and refers to ظَهَرَ بِفُلَانٍ

[instead of أَظْهَرَ]; so that what its author says in this case differs in two points of view from what is found in the “ Kitáb el-Abniyeh ” of IKtt, in which the ى in أَعْلَيْتُ has been marked as correct, and in the L [as well as in the S]. (TA.) A2: اظهرهُ اللّٰهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ means God made him to overcome, conquer, subdue, overpower, master, gain the victory over, or prevail over, his enemy. (S, A, O, TA.) b2: And [hence] اظهرهُ عَلَيْهِ He (God) made him to know it, or become acquainted with it: you say, أَظْهَرَنِى اللّٰهُ عَلَى مَا سُرِقَ مِنِّى God made me to know [or discover] what had been stolen from me. (TA.) A3: See also 1, last quarter, in two places.

A4: And see 2.

A5: اظهر signifies also He entered upon the time called the ظَهِيرَة: (A, Msb, K:) or the time called the ظُهْر. (Msb.) And He went, or journeyed, in the time called the ظَهِيرَة; as also ↓ ظهّر, (K,) inf. n. تَظْهِيرٌ: (TA:) or the time called the ظُهْر. (S, O.) 5 تظهّر and اِظَّهَّرَ: see 3, latter half, in three places.6 تَظَاْهَرَ see 1, first sentence: b2: and see also 4, first sentence. b3: تظاهروا They aided, or assisted, one another. (S, O, * K.) And تظاهروا عَلَى فُلَانٍ

They leagued together, and aided one another, against such a one. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA in art. ضفر.) b4: Also They regarded, or treated, one another with enmity, or hostility; or severed themselves, one from another: (S, Msb, K:) as though they turned their backs, one upon another: (S:) or, because they who do so turn their backs, one upon another. (Msb.) Thus the verb has two contr. meanings. (K.) b5: تظاهر مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ and اِظَّاهَرَ: see 3, latter half, in three places.8 اِظَّهَرَ: see 1, last quarter.10 استظهر بِهِ He sought aid, or assistance, in, or by means of, him, or it, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) عَلَيْهِ [against him, or it]; as also استظهرهُ. (TA.) [In the CK, after the explanation of استظهر به, is an omission, to be supplied by the insertion of وَقَرَأَهُ.] One says, استظهر بِالْغِنَى عَلَى النَّوَائِبِ [He sought aid in wealth against calamities, or afflictions]. (Msb.) And بِهِ ↓ ظاهر signifies the same as استظهر [in this sense or in another of the senses expl. in what follows]. (TA.) b2: and استظهرتُ بِالشَّىْءِ, and بِهِ ↓ ظَهَرْتُ, and ↓ ظَهَرْتُهُ, I put the thing behind my back for protection, or security. (Har p. 265.) b3: And استظهر He prepared for himself a camel, or two camels, or more, for future need: (T:) and استظهرهُ, and بِهِ ↓ ظَهَرَ, He prepared him, namely, a camel, for future need: (K:) and استظهر بِبَعِيرَيْنِ ظِهْرِيَّيْنِ He prepared for himself two camels for future need. (T. [See ظِهْرِىٌّ.]) b4: Hence, (T,) استظهر signifies also He used precaution (T, Msb) with respect to anything: (T:) he secured himself, (اِسْتَوْثَقَ,) by using precaution; as, for instance, a woman does by remaining three days, before she performs the ablution termed غُسْل, and prays, after the usual period of the menses. (T, L.) One says, يُسْتَحَبُّ الاِسْتِظْهَارُ بِغَسْلَةٍ ثَانِيَةٍ

وَثَالِثَةٍ The using precaution by a second and a third washing, to make sure of being pure, is approved. (Er-Ráfi'ee, Msb.) And استظهرتُ فِى طَلَبِ الشَّىْءِ I adopted the most fit, or proper, way, and used precaution, in seeking to attain the thing. (Msb.) b5: See also 1, in the middle of the latter half.

ظَهْرٌ The back; contr. of بَطْنٌ: (S, A, O, Msb, K:) in a man, from the hinder part of the كَاهِل [or base of the neck] to the nearest part of the buttocks, where it terminates: (TA:) in a camel, the part containing six vertebræ on the right and left of which are [two portions of flesh and sinew called the] مَتْنَانِ: (AHeyth, T, O:) of the masc. gender: (Lh, A, K:) pl. [of pauc.] أَظْهُرٌ, and [of mult.] ظُهُورٌ and ظُهْرَانٌ. (Msb, K.) b2: رَجُلٌ خَفِيفُ الظَّهْرِ (tropical:) A man having a small household to maintain: and ثَقِيلُ الظَّهْرِ (tropical:) having a large household to maintain. (K, * TA.) b3: أَنْت عَلَىَّ كَظَهْرِ

أُمِّى Thou art to me like the back of my mother: said by a man to his wife. (S, Mgh, Msb, K.) [This has been expl. above: see 3.] b4: عَدَا فِى

ظَهْرِهِ (tropical:) He stole what was behind him: (A:) [or he acted wrongfully in respect of what was behind him: for] لِصٌّ عَادِى ظَهْرٍ is expl. by the words عَدَا فِى ظَهْرٍ فَسَرَقَهُ [so that it app. means (tropical:) A thief who has acted wrongfully in respect of what was behind one, and stolen it]. (O, K.) b5: أَقْرَانُ الظَّهْرِ (S, O, K) and الظُّهُورِ (O, TA) Adversaries who come to one from behind his back, in war, or fight. (S, O, K, * TA.) In the copies of the K, يُحِبُّونَكَ is erroneously put for يَجِيؤُونَكَ. (TA.) You say also, فُلَانٌ قِرْنُ الظَّهْرِ Such a one is an adversary who comes to one from behind, unknown. (IAar, As.) b6: قَتَلَهُ ظَهْرًا He slew him unexpectedly; he assassinated him; syn. غِيلَةٌ. (IAar, TA.) b7: جَعَلَنِى بِظَهْرٍ (tropical:) He cast me off. (TA.) And جَعَلتُ حَاجَتَهُ بِظَهْرٍ (tropical:) I cast his want behind my back: (AO, K:) and ↓ جَعَلَهَا ظِهْرِيَّةً signifies the same: (S:) and ↓ اِتَّخَذَهَا ظِهْرِيًّا, (K,) and ↓ ظِهْرِيَّةً: (TA:) or the former of the last two phrases signifies he held it in contempt; as though ظهريّا were an irreg. rel. n. from ظَهْرٌ: (TA:) or ↓ اِتَّخَذَهُ ظِهْرِيًّا signifies he neglected, or forgot, (S, O, * Msb,) him, as in the Kur xi. 94, (S, O,) or it, namely, what was said. (Msb.) And لَا تَجْعَلْ حَاجَتِى

بِظَهْرٍ (tropical:) Forget not thou, or neglect not, my want: (S:) and ↓ جَعَلَهُ ظِهْرِيًّا signifies he forgot it; as well as جعله بِظَهْرٍ. (A.) And جَعَلْتُ هٰذَا الأَمْرَ بِظَهْرٍ, and رَمَيْتُهُ بِظَهْرٍ, (tropical:) I cared not for this thing. (Th, O.) b8: فُلَانٌ مِنْ وَلَدِ الظَّهْرِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one is of those who do not belong to us: or of those to whom no regard is paid: (TA:) or of those who are held in contempt, and to whose ties of relationship no regard is paid. (S, TA.) b9: هُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ ظَهْرًا (tropical:) [He is his cousin on the father's side,] distantly related: contr. of دِنْيًا [and لَحًّا]. (As, A, O, TA.) b10: رَجَعَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ [He receded, retired, or retreated]. (K in art. ثبجر.) b11: هُوَ نَازِلٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْهِمْ, and ↓ بين ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ, (S, A, O, Msb, K, *) in which latter the ا and ن are said by some to be added for corroboration, (Msb,) and for which one should not say ظَهْرَانِيهِمْ, (IF, S, O, Msb, K,) and بين أَظْهُرِهِمْ, (Msb, K,) (tropical:) He is making his abode in the midst of them; in the main body of them: (K, TA:) originally meaning he is making his abode among them for the purpose of seeking aid of them and staying himself upon them: as though it meant that the back of one of them was before him, and that of another behind him, so that he was defended in either direction: afterwards, by reason of frequency of usage, it came to be employed to signify abiding among a people absolutely. (IAth, Msb.) You say also هُوَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْهِ, and ↓ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِ, meaning It (anything) is in the midst, or main part, of it, namely, another thing. (TA.) b12: لَقِيتُهُ بَيْنَ الظَّهْرَيْنِ, and ↓ بَيْنَ الظَّهْرَانَيْنِ, (S, O, Msb, K,) (tropical:) I met him during the day, (Msb,) or during the two days, (S, O, K,) or during the three days, (K,) or the days: (S, O, Msb:) from the next preceding phrase. (TA.) And أَتَيْتُهُ مَرَّةً بَيْنَ الظَّهَرْينِ (tropical:) I came to him one day: or, accord. to Aboo-Fak'as, on a day between two years. (Fr.) And اللَّيْلِ ↓ رَأَيْتُهُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَىِ (tropical:) I saw him between nightfall and daybreak. (TA.) and النَّهَارِ ↓ جِئْتُهُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَىِ (tropical:) [I came to him between the beginning and end of the day]. (A.) b13: تَقَلَّبَ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ (assumed tropical:) It turned over and over, or upside down, (lit. back for belly,) as a serpent does upon ground heated by the sun. (S and TA in art. قلب.) [Hence,] قَلَبْتُ الأَرْضَ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ (tropical:) [I turned the earth over, upside-down]. (A.) And [hence,] قَلَّبَ أَمْرَهُ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ, (O, * TA,) and ظَهْرَهُ لِبَطْنٍ, and ظَهْرَهُ لِبَطْنِهِ, and ظَهْرَهُ لِلْبَطْنِ, which last form is preferred by El-Farezdak to the second, because [as in the third form] the second of the two words is determinate like the first word, (tropical:) He meditated, or managed, the affair with forecast, and well. (O, * TA.) b14: The Arabs used to say, هٰذَا ظَهْرُ السَّمَآءِ and هذا بَطْنُ السَّمَآءِ, both meaning (tropical:) This is the apparent, visible, part of the sky. (Fr, Az.) And the like is said of the side of a wall, which is its بَطْن to a person on the same side, and its ظَهْر to one on the other side. (Az.) b15: مَا نَزَلَ مِنَ القُرْآنِ آيَةٌ إِلَّا لَهَا ظَهْرٌ وَبَطْنٌ, [part of] a saying of Mohammad, [of which see the rest voce مُطَّلَعٌ,] means (assumed tropical:) Not a verse of the Kur-án has come down but it has a verbal expression and an interpretation: (K, * TA:) or a verbal expression and a meaning: or that which has an apparent and a known [or an exoteric] interpretation and that which has an intrinsic [or esoteric] interpretation: (TA:) or narration (K, TA) and admonition: (TA:) or [it is to be read and to be understood and taught; for] by the ظهر is meant the reading; and by the بطن, the understanding and teaching. (TA.) [See also بَطْنٌ.] b16: ظَهْرٌ signifies also (tropical:) Camels on which people ride, and which carry goods; (S, * A, * O, K, * TA;) camels that carry burdens upon their backs in journeying: (TA:) [or] a beast: or a camel for riding: (Mgh:) pl. ظُهْرَانٌ. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of 'Arfajeh, فَتَنَاوَلَ السَّيْفَ مِنَ الظَّهْرِ And he reached, or took in his hand, the sword from the camels for carrying burdens and for riding: and in another, أَتَأْذَنُ لَنَا فِى نَحْرِ ظَهْرِنَا Dost thou permit us to slaughter our camels which we ride? (TA.) And one says also, هُوَ عَلَى ظَهْرٍ (tropical:) He is determined upon travel: (K:) as though he had already mounted a beast for that purpose. (TA.) b17: [Hence, app.,] (assumed tropical:) Property consisting of camels and sheep or goats: (TA:) or much property. (K, TA.) b18: (assumed tropical:) The short side [or lateral half] of a feather: (S, O, K:) pl. ظُهْرَانٌ: (S, M, K, TA, &c.:) opposed to بَطْنٌ, sing. of بُطْنَانٌ, (TA,) which latter signifies the “ long sides: ” (S, TA:) and ↓ ظُهَارٌ signifies the same as ظَهْرٌ, (K,) or the same as ظُهْرَانٌ, being an irregular pl.; and this is meant by the saying الظُّهَارُ بِالضَّمِ الجَمَاعَةُ, mentioned in a later place in the K [in such a manner as to have led to the supposition that ظُهَارٌ is also syn. with جَمَاعَةٌ]: (TA:) AO says that among the feathers of arrows are the ظُهَار, which are those that are put [upon an arrow] of the ظَهْر [or outer side] of the عَسِيب [app. here meaning the shaft] of the feather; (S, TA;) i. e., the shorter side, which is the best kind of feather; as also ظُهْرَان: sing. ظَهْرٌ: (TA:) ISd says that the ظُهْرَان are those parts of the feathers of the wing that are exposed to the sun and rain: (TA:) Lth says that the ظُهَار are those parts of the feathers of the wing that are apparent. (O, TA.) One says, رِشْ سَهْمَكَ بِظُهْرَانٍ وَلَا تَرِشْهُ بِبُطْنَانٍ

[Feather thine arrow with short sides of feathers, and feather it not with long sides of feathers]. (S, TA.) [De Sacy supposes that ظُهُورٌ and بُطُونٌ are also pls. of ظَهْرٌ and بَطْنٌ thus used: (see his “ Chrest. Arabe,” sec. ed., tome ii., p.

374:) but his reasons do not appear to me to be conclusive.] ↓ ظُهَارٌ and ظُهْرَانٌ are also used as epithets: you say, رِيشٌ ظُهَارٌ and رِيشٌ ظُهْرَانٌ. (TA.) b19: [ظَهْرُ الكَفِّ and ↓ ظَاهِرُهَا mean (assumed tropical:) The back of the hand. And in like manner, ظَهْرُ القَدَمِ and ↓ ظَاهِرُهَا mean (assumed tropical:) The upper, or convex, side, or back, of the human foot, corresponding to the back of the hand, including the instep: opposed to بَطْن and بَاطِن. And ظَهْرُ اللِّسَانِ means (assumed tropical:) The upper surface of the tongue.] b20: And ظَهْرٌ also signifies (tropical:) A way by land. (S, M, O, Msb, K.) This expression is used when there is a way by land and a way by sea. (M.) You say, سَارُوا فِى طَرِيقِ الظَّهْرِ (tropical:) They journeyed by land. (A.) b21: And (assumed tropical:) An elevated tract of land or ground; as also ↓ ظَاهِرةٌ: (A:) or rugged and elevated land or ground; (JK, K;) as also ↓ ظَاهِرَةٌ: (JK:) opposed to بَطْنٌ, which signifies “ soft and plain and fine and low land or ground: ” (TA:) and ↓ ظَوَاهِرُ [pl. of. ظَاهِرَةٌ] signifies (assumed tropical:) elevated tracts of land or ground: (S, K:) you say, هَاجَتْ ظَوَاهِرُ الأَرْضِ, meaning, (assumed tropical:) the herbs, or leguminous plants, of the elevated tracts of land, or ground, dried up: (As, S, L:) and ↓ ظَاهِرٌ signifies (assumed tropical:) the higher, or highest, part of a mountain; (ISh, L, TA;) whether its exterior be plain or not: (TA:) and ↓ ظَاهِرَةٌ, the same, of anything: (L:) when you have ascended upon the ظَهْر of a mountain, you are upon its ظَاهِرَة. (TA.) b22: سَالَ وَادِيهِمْ ظَهْرًا means (assumed tropical:) Their valley flowed with the rain of their own land: opposed to دُرْءًا, meaning, “from other rain: ” (IAar, O, K: *) or the former signifies their valley flowed with its own rain: and the latter, “with other than its own rain: ” (TA:) and some say ↓ ظُهْرًا, which Az thinks the better form. (O, TA.) b23: [Hence, probably,] أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُ مَطَرَ ظَهْرٍ (assumed tropical:) I obtained from him, or it, much good. (Sgh, O, K.) b24: And another signification of ظَهْرٌ is What is absent, or hidden, or concealed, from one. (O, K.) b25: It is sometimes prefixed to another noun to give plainness and force to the expression; as in ظَهْرُ الغَيْبِ and ظَهْرُ القَلْبِ, meaning نَفْسُ الغَيْبِ and نَفْسُ القَلْبِ: (Msb:) or it is redundant in these instances. (Mgh.) Lebeed says, describing a [wild] cow going about after a beast of prey that had eaten her young one, وَتَسَمَّعَتْ رِزَّ الأَنِيسِ فَرَاعَهَا عَنْ ظَهْرِ غَيْبٍ وَالأَنِيسُ سَقَامُهَا [And she heard the sound of man, and it frightened her, from a place that concealed what was in it; for man is her malady; i. e., a cause of pain and trouble and death to her]: (TA:) meaning, she heard the sound of the hunters, &c. (TA in art. غيب.) And you say, تَنَاوَلَهُ بِظَهْرِ الغَيْبِ بِمَا يَسُوؤُهُ He carped at him behind the back, or in absence, by saying what would grieve him. (TA in art. غيب.) And تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ الغَيْبِ (A, O) or عن ظَهْرِ غَيْبٍ (TA) [app., (tropical:) I spoke it by memory; in the absence of a book or the like; as one says in modern Arabic, عَلَى الغَائِب. See also غَيْبٌ.] And قَرَأَهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ القَلْبِ (tropical:) He recited it by heart, or memory; without book: (L, K: [in the latter, مِنْ is put in the place of عَنْ; but the right reading is that in the L: and in the CK is an omission here, to be supplied by the insertion of وَقَرَأَهُ:]) and ↓ قرأه ظَاهِرًا and قرأه عَلَى

ظَهْرِ لِسَانِهِ [signify the same]. (K.) And حَمَلَ القُرْآنَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ لِسَانِهِ like حَفِظَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَلْبِهِ (tropical:) [He knew the Kur-án by heart]. (A, * O, TA.) b26: One says also, فُلَانٌ يَأْكُلُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ يَدِ فُلَانٍ (tropical:) Such a one eats at the expense of such a one.

And أَعْطَاهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ يَدٍ (tropical:) He gave him originally; without compensation. (O, * K; but in some copies of the K we find مِنْ in the place of عَنْ.) It is said [in a trad.], أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى (tropical:) The most excellent of alms is that which is [derived] from competence; ظهر: (Msb:) or simply عَنْ غِنًى, the word ظهر being here redundant: (Mgh:) or from manifest competence upon which one relies, and in which he seeks aid against calamities, or afflictions: or from what remains after fight: (Msb:) or from superfluous property. (TA.) A2: See also ظَهِيرٌ

A3: قِدْرُ ظَهْرٍ means (assumed tropical:) An old cooking-pot: (O, K: *) pl. قُدُورُ ظُهُورٍ: (O:) as though, because of its oldness, it were thrown behind the back. (TA.) ظُهْرٌ Midday, or noon: (IAth, TA:) or the time when the sun declines from the meridian: (Msb, * K, * O, * TA:) or [the time immediately] after the declining of the sun: (S, Mgh:) masc. and fem.; unless when the word صَلَاة is prefixed to it, in which case it is fem. only: (Msb:) [pl. أَظْهَارٌ. See also ظَهِيرَةٌ.] صَلَاةُ الظُّهْرِ means The prayer [i. e. the divinely-ordained prayer] of midday, or noon: (IAth, TA:) or of the time after the declining of the sun. (S, O.) In the phrases أَبْرِدُوا بِالظُّهْرِ [Defer ye the prayer of midday until the cooler time of day] and صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ [He performed the prayer of midday], the prefixed noun (صَلَاة) is suppressed. (Mgh.) A2: سَالَ وَادِيهِمْ ظُهْرًا: see ظَهْرٌ, last quarter.

ظَهِرٌ, (S,) or ↓ ظَهِيرٌ, (K,) [the former agreeable with analogy, being derived from ظَهِرَ,] A man (S,) having a complaint of the back: (S, K:) or having a pain in the back: as also ↓ مَظْهُورٌ. (O, TA.) ظُهْرَةٌ: see ظَهِيرٌ, in three places.

(TA.) A2: See also ظَهِيرٌ.

ظِهْرِىٌّ A camel prepared for future need; (T, S, O, K;) taken, by way of precaution, to bear the burden of any camel that may happen to fail in a journey: sometimes two or more unladen camels are taken for this purpose: some say that such a camel is thus called because its owner puts it behind his back, not riding it nor putting any burden upon it: (T, TA:) the word appears to be an irreg. rel. n. from ظَهْرٌ: (ISd, TA:) pl. ظَهَارِىٌّ, imperfectly decl., because the rel. ى

retains its place in the sing. [inseparably; there being no such word as ظِهْر: but if it be a rel. n., this pl. is irreg., like مَهَارِىٌّ]. (S, O, K.) b2: See ظَهْرٌ, first quarter, in five places, for examples of ظِهْرِىٌّ and ظِهْرِيَّةٌ used tropically.

ظُهْرَان [app. ظُهْرَانٌ (which is also a pl. of ظَهْرٌ used in several senses), or, perhaps ظُهْرَانِ, as having a dual meaning,] The upper, thick, pair of wings of the locust. (AHn, TA.) b2: [See also ظَهْرٌ.]

A2: Also An aider, or assistant; (S, A, O, Msb, K;) and so ↓ ظِهْرَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ ظُهْرَةٌ: (K:) [in one place, in the K, ظِهْرَةٌ is expl. by عَوْن; but by this is meant, as will be seen below, the same as is meant by مُعِين, by which all the three words are expl. in another place in the K, as well as in the S &c.:] and aiders, or assistants; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ ظِهْرَةٌ and ↓ ظُهْرَةٌ and ↓ ظَهْرٌ: (TA:) the pl. of ظَهِيرٌ is ظُهَرَآءُ.

And it is also said in the Kur [lxvi. 4], وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ ظَهِيرٌ [And the angels after that will be his aiders]: and instance of ظهير in a pl. sense: (S, O, Msb:) for words of the measures فَعُولٌ and فَعِيلٌ are sometimes masc. and fem. [and sing.] and pl. (S.) You also say, ↓ جَآءَ فُلَانٌ فِى ظِهْرَتِهِ, (S, A, K,) and ↓ ظُهْرَتِهِ, (A, K,) and ↓ ظَهَرَتِهِ, and ↓ ظَاهِرَتِهِ, (K,) Such a one came among his people, (S,) or kinsfolk, (K,) and those who performed his affairs for him, (S, A,) i. e., his aiders, or assistants.

(TA.) b2: Also Strong in the back; (K;) sound therein: (Lth:) and so ↓ مُظَهَّرٌ: (S, O, K:) applied to a man: (S:) or hard and strong; whether in the back or any other part is not said: (TA:) in this sense, (TA,) or as signifying strong, (S, O,) applied to a camel: fem. with ة.
