aor. ـُ (
M,
TA,)
ـصْدَــرٌ">inf. n. صِدْــقٌ (
S, *
M,
O, *
Msb,
K,
TA) and
صَدْــقٌ, (
M,
K,) the former of which is the more chaste, (
TA,) or the latter is an
ـصْدَــرٌ">inf. n. and the former is a simple
subst., (
K,) and تَـ
ـصْدَــاقٌ (
M) and مَـ
ـصْدُــوقَةٌ, (
O,
K,
TA,) which is one of the [few]
ـصْدَــرٌ">inf. ns. of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ, (
O,
TA,) [or a
fem. pass. part. n. used as an
ـصْدَــرٌ">inf. n. like as is said of its contr.
مَكْذُوبَةٌ,] he spoke, said, uttered, or told, truth, or truly, or veraciously;
contr. of كَذَبَ: (
Msb: [and in like manner it is said in the
S and
M and O and
K that
صِدْــقٌ is the
contr. of كَذِبٌ:])
Er-Rághib says that
صِدْــقٌ and كَذِبٌ are primarily in what is said, whether relating to the past or to the future, and [in the latter case] whether it be a promise or other than a promise; and only in what is said in the way of information: but sometimes they are in other modes of speech, such as asking a question, and commanding, and supplicating; as when one says, “Is Zeyd in the house? ” for this implies information of his being ignorant of the state of Zeyd; and when one says, “ Make me to share with thee, or to be equal with thee,” for this implies his requiring to be made to share with the other, or to be made equal with him; and when one says, “Do not thou hurt me,” for this implies that the other is hurting him:
صِدْــقٌ, he says, is [by implication] the agreeing of what is said with what is conceived in the mind and with the thing told of, together; otherwise it is not complete
صِدْــق, but may be described either as
صِدْــق or sometimes as
صِدْــق and sometimes as كَذِب according to two different points of view; as when one says without believing it, “Mohammad is the Apostle of God,” for this may be termed
صِدْــق because what is told is such, and it may be termed كَذِب because it is at variance with what the speaker conceives in his mind. (
TA.) One says,
صَدَــقَ فِى الحَدِيثِ [He spoke truth in the information, or narration]. (
S,
O,
K.) And
صَدَــقَهُ i. e. He told him, or informed him, with truth, or veracity, (
AHeyth, *
M,
Msb, *) فِى القَوْلِ [in the saying]; for it is
trans. as well as
intrans. (
Msb.) And
صَدَــقَهُ الحَدِيثَ (
S,
O,
K, in the
CK [erroneously]
صَدَّــقَ فُلانًا الحَدِيثَ) He told him with truth, or veracity, the information, or narration; for it is sometimes doubly
trans. (
TA.) And
صَدَــقَنِى سِنَّ بَكْرِهِ [He hath told me truly the age, or as to the age, of his youthful camel; or
صَدَــقَنِى سِنُّ بَكْرِهِ the age of his youthful camel has spoken truly to me]: (
S,
O,
K:) a
prov., (
S,
O,)
expl. in art. بكر [
q. v.]. (
K.) And فُلَانٌ لَا يَـ
ـصْدُــقُ أَثَرُهُ and أَثَرَهُ, meaning Such a one, when asked, will not tell truly whence he comes. (
M.) And
صَدَــقَتْ يَمِينُهُ His oath was, or proved, true. (
Msb in art. بت.)
صَدَــقْتُ اللّٰهَ حَدِيثًا إِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ كَذَا is an oath of the Arabs, meaning لَا
صَدَــقْتُ الخ [May I not utter truly to God a saying, i. e. may I not speak truth to God, if I do not such a thing]. (
AHeyth,
O,
K.) One says also,
صَدَــقَهُ النَّصِيحَةَ, and الإِخَآءَ, He rendered to him truly, or sincerely, good advice, and brotherly affection. (
M.) And
صَدَ قُوهُمُ القِتَالَ (
S,
M,
K, *
TA) [They gave them battle earnestly, not with a false show of bravery; as is implied in the
S, and
M, and
K; i. e.] they advanced against them boldly in fight: (
M,
TA:) and in like manner,
صَدَــقُوا فِى القِتَالِ they advanced boldly in fight: or,
accord. to
Er-Rághib, the former means they gave them battle so as to fulfil their duty: and hence, in the
Kur [xxxiii. 23], رِجَالٌ
صَدَــقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللّٰهَ عَلَيْهِ, Men who fulfilled the covenant that they had made with God. (
TA.) And
صَدَــقَ اللِّقَآءَ,
ـصْدَــرٌ">inf. n. صِدْــقٌ, He was firm, or steady, in encounter, or conflict. (
M,
TA.) and
صَدَــقَ ظَنِّى My opinion was, or proved, true, or correct, like as one says [in the contrary case], كَذَبَ: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) whence, in the
Kur [xxxiv. 19], وَلَقَدْ
صَدَــقَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ ظَنَّهُ, meaning فِى ظَنِّهِ [i. e. And assuredly Iblees was, or proved to be, correct in his opinion that he had formed against them]: but some read ↓
صَدَّــقَ, meaning, as
Fr says, حَقَّقَ [i. e. Iblees proved, or found, to be true, his opinion &c.]. (
TA.) and
صَدَــقَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ His soul [told him truth; meaning,] diverted him, or hindered him, or held him back, from an undertaking, causing him to imagine himself unable to prosecute it. (
TA in art. كذب.) And
صَدَــقَ الصُّبْحُ [The dawn shone clearly]. (
S in art. سقط.) [And one says of a word or the like, يَـ
ـصْدُــقُ عَلَى كَذَا, meaning It applies correctly to such a thing.]
b2: صَدَــقَ الوَحْشِىُّ: see 2, near the end.
2 صدّــقهُ, (
S,
M,
O, &c.,)
ـصْدَــرٌ">inf. n. تَـ
ـصْدِــيقٌ,
contr. of كَذَّبَهُ. (
O, *
K.) [This explanation implies several meanings here following.] He attributed, or ascribed, to him truth, veracity, or the speaking truth. (
Msb.) And He said to him, “Thou hast spoken truth. ” (
Msb.) He accepted, or admitted, [or assented to, or believed,] what he said: (
M:) you say,
صدّــقهُ فِى حَدِيثِهِ [He accepted, &c., what he said in his information, or narration]: (
S:) and you say
صدّــق بِلِسَانِهِ [He assented to the truth of what was said with his tongue]; as well as بِقَلْبِهِ [with his heart, or mind]. (
T in art. اَمن.) He held him to be a speaker of truth. (
MA.) [He found him to be a speaker of truth. He, or it, proved him to be a speaker of truth; verified him; or confirmed the truth of what he said: see an
ex. in a verse cited
voce بَيْنٌ.] He found it (an opinion) to be true, or veritable. (
Ksh and
Bd and
Jel, in xxxiv. 19.) He verified it; confirmed its truth; or proved it to be true, or veritable; i. e. an opinion [&c.];
syn. حَقَّقَهُ: (
Ksh and
Bd, ibid.:) one says,
صَدَّــقَ الخَبَرَ الخُبْرُ [The trial, proof, or test, verified the information]. (
S in art. خبر.) See 1, near the end. In the saying in the
Kur [xxxix. 34], وَالَّذِى جَآءَ بِالـ
ـصِّدْــقِ وَـ
ـصَدَّــقَ بِهِ, [which seems to be best rendered But he who hath brought the truth and he who hath accepted it as the truth, (see كَذَّبَ بِالأَمْرِ,)] 'Alee the son of Aboo-
Tálib is related to have said that by الذى جآء بالـ
ـصدق is meant Mohammad; and by الذى
صدّــق به, Aboo-Bekr: or, as some say, Gabriel and Mohammad [are meant by the former and the latter respectively]: or by the former, Mohammad; and by the latter, [every one of] the believers: (
M:)
accord. to
Er-Rághib, by و
صدّــق به is meant and hath found, or proved, to be true (حَقَّقَ) that which he hath brought by word, by that which he hath aimed at (بِمَا تَحَرَّاهُ) by deed. (
TA.)
b2: صدّــق is also said to signify He said, “This thing is the truth; ” like حَقَّقَ. (
TA in art. حق.)
b3: And this verb also denotes المُبَالَغَةُ فِى الـ
ـصِّدْــقِ: thus in the saying,
صَدَّــقَتْ فِيهِمْ ظُنُونِى
[My opinions respecting them were, or proved to be, very true or correct]. (
Ksh, in xxxiv. 19.)
b4: صدّــق الوَحْشِىُّ, (
O,
K,
TA,) or ↓
صَدَــقَ, (so in a copy of the
M,) (
tropical:) The wild animal ran without looking aside, when charged upon, or attacked: (
M,
O,
K,

TA, [in the
CK erroneously written
صَداق,]) I acted, or associated, with him as a friend, or as a true, or sincere, friend. (
S, *
M,
O, *
K. *) [See also 6.]
4 ا
صدق المَرْأَةَ He named for the woman a
صَدَــاق [or dowry]: (
S,
M, *
O,
K:) or he gave her her
صَدَــاق: (
M, *
Msb:) or he appointed her, or assigned her, a
صَدَــاق, on taking her as his wife: (
TA:) and he married her, or took her as his wife, on the condition of his giving her a
صَدَــاق. (
Msb.) And sometimes this verb is doubly
trans.; whence, in a
trad., مَا ذَا تُـ
ـصْدِــقُهَا فَقَالَ إِزَارِى [It was said, “What is it that thou meanest for her, or givest her, as her dowry? ” and he said, “My waist-wrapper ”]. (
Mgh.) 5 تـ
ـصدّــق عَلَيْهِ He gave him (i. e. the poor,
Mgh,
Msb) what is termed
صَدَــقَة, (
M,
Mgh,
Msb,) meaning [an alms, or] what is given for the sake of God, (
M,) or what is given with the desire of obtaining a recompense from God: (
M, *
Mgh:) and عليه ↓
صَدَّــقَ signifies the same; (
M,
TA;) and in this sense
صدّــق is [said by some to be] used in the
Kur lxxv. 31. (
TA.) Hence, in the
Kur [xii. 88], وَتَـ
ـصَدَّــقْ عَلَيْنَا: (
TA:) or this means (assumed
tropical:) And do thou confer a favour upon us by giving that which is [not like the mean merchandise that we have brought, but of middling quality,] between good and bad. (
M.) One says, تَـ
ـصَدَّــقْتُ بِكَذَا, meaning I gave such a thing as a
صَدَــقَة. (
Msb.) See an
ex. voce شِقٌّ.
The saying, in a

صَدَــقَة [or alms]: but
Fr and
As and others disallow the beggar's being called مُتَـ
ـصَدِّــق: (
Az,
TA:)
IKt says that the verb is improperly used in this sense by the vulgar: (
Msb:) [and
accord. to
J and
Sgh,] one says, مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ يَسْأَلُ, and one should not say يَتَـ
ـصَدَّــقُ. (
S, O.) 6 تَصَادُقٌ signifies The acting, or associating, as friends, or as true, or sincere, friends, one with another. (
K. [See also 3.]) And
I. q. صِدْــقٌ: (
TA:) [or rather mutual
صِدْــق;
contr. of تَكَاذُبٌ:] one says, تَصَادَقَا فِى الحَدِيثِ and فِى المَوَدَّةِ (
S,
O,
TA) They were true, or sincere, each to the other, in information, or narration, and in love, or affection;
contr. of تَكَاذَبَا. (
O,
TA.)
صَدْــقٌ is an
ـصْدَــرٌ">inf. n. of

q. v.]: (

K:)
b2: and is used as an

S,
M,
O,
K,
TA:) [and] ↓
صِدْــقٌ [also, if not a mistranscription for
صَدْــقٌ,] is an
ـصْدَــرٌ">inf. n. used as an

S,
M,
O,
Msb,) applied to a spear, (
S,
M,
O,) and to other things: (
M:) or even, or straight; (
S, O;) or it signifies thus also, applied to a spear, and to a sword: (
M:) or hard and even or straight, applied to a spear, (
K,
TA,) and to a man, (
K,) or to the latter as meaning hard: or, as
IB says, on the authority of
IDrst, it is not from hardness, but means combining those qualities that are commended; and it is applied to a spear as meaning long and pliant and hard, and the like; and to a man, and to a woman likewise [without ة, but see what follows], as meaning true in hardness and strength and goodness; for,
IDrst says, if it meant hard, one would say حَجَرٌ
صَدْــقٌ and حَدِيدٌ
صَدْــقٌ, which one does not: (
TA:) and, applied to anything, (
O,
K,
TA,) it means complete, or perfect, (
Kh,
O,
K,
TA,) thus applied to a man, (
TA,) such as is commended; (O;)
fem. with ة, (
O,
K,
TA,) applied to a woman: (
O:) the
pl. is
صُدْــقٌ, applied to a company of men, (

O,
K,) and
صُدُــقٌ (
K) and
صَدْــقُونَ, so applied, and
صَدْــقَاتٌ applied to women: (
O,
K:) and Ru-beh says, describing asses, مَقْذُوذَةُ الآذَانِ
صَدْــقَاتُ الحَدَقْ meaning [Rounded, as though pared, in the ears,] penetrating in the eyes; (
O,
TA;) which is [said to be]
tropical. (
TA.)
صَدْــقٌ signifies also Firm, or steady, in encounter, or conflict: (
M:) or one says
صَدْــقُ اللِّقَآءِ, applying this
epithet to a man, (
S,
O,
K,
TA,) meaning thus: (
TA:) and
صَدْــقُ النَّظَرِ [firm, or steady, in look]. (
S,
O,
K,
TA. [Said in the

صِدْــقٌ is an

Er-Rághib,
TA.)
b2: It is also
syn. with شِدَّةٌ [meaning Hardness; firmness, compactness, or soundness; strength, power, or force; vigour, robustness, sturdiness, or hardiness; and courage, bravery, or firmness of heart]: (
K,
TA: [in the latter of which it is said to be
tropical; but this is evidently not the case
accord. to the
O, in which it is said that it radically denotes قُوَّةٌ (i. e. strength, force, &c.,) in a saying &c.: in the
K it is implied by the context that it is
syn. with شِدَّة when used as the complement of a prefixed
n. in instances mentioned in what here follows: but
Sgh says, more correctly,]) a noun signifying anything to which goodness is attributed is prefixed to
صِدْــق, governing it in the
gen. case; so that one says (O) رَجُلُ
صِدْــقٍ (
Sb,
M,
O,
K) [A man of good nature or disposition or character &c.],
contr. of رَجُلُ سَوْءٍ; (
Sb,
M;) and
صَدِــيقُ
صِدْــقٍ [a friend of good nature &c.]; (
O,
K;) and likewise اِمْرَأَةُ
صِدْــقٍ [a woman of good nature &c.]; (
K;) and in like manner also حِمَارُ
صِدْــقٍ
[an ass of a good kind]; (
Sb,
M,
K;) and ثَوْبُ
صِدْــقٍ [a garment, or piece of cloth, of good quality]. (
Sb,

M,
K,) or to obtain a recompense from God; (
M, *
Mgh,
K; *) a portion which a man gives forth from his property by way of propitiation, [to obtain the favour of God,] like زَكَاةٌ, except that the former is primarily applied to such as as is supererogatory, and the latter to such as is obligatory: but it is said to be applied to such as is obligatory [i. e. to the زَكَاة,
q. v., meaning the poor-rate, which is the portion, or amount, of property, that is given therefrom, as the due of God, by its possessor, to the poor, according to a fixed rate,] when the person who does so aims at conformity with the truth in his deed: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) [in this latter sense, which is indicated in the
S and O &c., and more plainly in the
M, it is very frequently used:] and thus it is used in the
Kur ix. 104, and in like manner its
pl. in ix. 60: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) the
pl. is
صَدَــقَاتٌ. (

TA.) صَادِقٌ Speaking, saying, uttering, or telling, truth, or truly, or veraciously; true in respect of speech &c., or veracious. (
Msb,
TA.)
b2: صِدْــقٌ صَادِقٌ is a phrase like شِعْرٌ شَاعِرٌ, meaning Eminent, and exalted, veracity. (
M,
TA. *)
b3: And حَمْلَةٌ صَادِقَةٌ [A charge, or an assault, made with earnestness, not with a false show of bravery,] is like the saying [in the
contr. case] حَمْلَةٌ كَاذِبَةٌ. (
M,
TA: * said in the latter to be
tropical.) See also مَـ
ـصْدَــق, in two places.
b4: One says also تَمْرٌ صَادِقُ الحَلَاوَةِ, meaning Very sweet dates. (
IDrd, O.)
b5: And بَرْدٌ صَادِقٌ Vehement, or intense, cold. (
TA voce بَحْتٌ &c.) الصَّيْدَقُ The small star cleaving to the middle one of [those called] بَنَاتُ نَعْشٍ الكُبْرَى [which compose the tail of Ursa Major]; (
Kr,
M,
TA;) [i. e. the star called السُّهَا,
q. v.; for] it is said that the first of بنات نعش الكبرى, that is at the extremity thereof, is named القَائِدُ; and the second is العَنَاقُ, and by the side of it is a small star named السُّهَا and الصَّيْدَقُ; and the third is الحَوَرُ: (
O:) or,
accord. to
AA, (
O,
TA,) the pole-star (القُطْبُ). (
O,
K,
TA. [But this is strange; and the more so as it is added in the
K that it is
expl. in art. قود; for the explanation in that art. (though not free from obvious mistakes) identifies الصَّيْدَقُ with السُّهَا.])
b2: And, (
K,)
accord. to
Sh, (
O,
TA,) it signifies الأَمِينُ [The trusted, trusted in, or confided in, &c.]. (
O,
K. [But it is added in the O that
Sh cites a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abi- s-Salt in which الأَمِينُ is applied as an
epithet to the star called الصَيدق.])
b3: And, (
K,)
accord. to some, as
AA says, (
O,) it signifies The king. (
O,
K.) فَعَلَهُ فِى غِبِّ صَادِقَةٍ [in the
CK فَعَلَهُ غِبَّ صادِقَةٍ] means He did it after the affair, or case, had become manifest to him. (
IDrd,
O,
K,
TA.) صُنْدُوقٌ, mentioned in this art. in the
S and
Msb: see art. صندق.
أَـ
ـصْدَــقُ [More, and most, true or veracious]. One says أَـ
ـصْدَــقُ مِنْ قَطَاةٍ [More veracious than a katáh]; because the bird thus called cries قَطَا قَطَا; [thus telling where it is to be found;] its name being imitative of its cry: (
Meyd, and
TA in art. قطو:) hence it is called by the Arabs ↓ الـ
ـصَّدُــوقُ: the saying is a
prov. (
Meyd.) ذُو مَـ
ـصْدَــقٍ, (
JK,
S,
M,
O,) with fet-h, (
S,) or ↓ ذُو مِـ
ـصْدَــقٍ like مِنْبَر, (
K,) applied to a man, (
JK,
M,) [i. e.] applied to a courageous man, (
S,
O,
K,) means الحَمْلَةِ ↓ صَادِقُ [Earnest, not making a false show of bravery, in the charge, or assault]; (
JK,
S,
M,
O,
K;) or courageous [in the charge, or assault]: (
JK:) مَصَادِقُ, occurring in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, may be for ذَوُو مَصَادِقَ; or it may be an
anomalous pl. of
صِدْــقٌ [used as an
epithet], like مَلَامِحُ and مَشَابِهُ [pls. of لَمْحَةٌ and شَبَهٌ]. (
M.) Also, (
S,
M,
O,
K,) applied to a horse, (
M,) [i. e.] applied to a fleet and excellent horse, (
S,
O,) in like manner, (
M,) meaning الجَرْىِ ↓ صَادِقُ [Earnest in running]; (
S,
O,
K;) as though fulfilling his promise of running: (
S, O: [said in the
TA to be
tropical:]) Khufáf Ibn-Nudbeh says, إِذَا مَا اسْتَحَمَّتْ أَرْضُهُ مِنْ سَمَائِهِ جَرَى وَهْوَ مَوْدُوعٌ وَوَاعِدُ مَـ
ـصْدَــقِ meaning When his hoofs are wetted with the sweat of his upper parts, he runs, being left to himself, not beaten nor chidden, and a fulfiller of his promise to do his utmost. (
S, O.) And sometimes it is applied to an opinion, in like manner [as meaning True, or sincere]. (
M.)
b2: مَـ
ـصْدَــقٌ also signifies Hardness. (
Th,
M.)
b3: Also
i. q. حَدٌّ [as meaning The edge of a sword]: (
TA:) [in a copy of the
M written جِدّ, which I think an evident mistake; for it is added,] and it is said to have this meaning in a verse of Dureyd Ibn-Es- Simmeh [relating to a sword]. (
M,
TA.) مِـ
ـصْدَــق: see the next preceding paragraph.
مُـ
ـصَدَّــقٌ A man from whom the poor-rate (
صَدَــقَة) of his cattle is exacted. (
TA.) مُـ
ـصَدِّــقٌ One who accepts, admits, assents to, or believes, another in his information, or narration. (
S,
TA.)
A2: Also The exactor, or collector, (
S,
M,
O,
Msb,
K,
TA,) of the
صَدَــقَات, (
S,
O,
Msb,
K,
TA,) i. e. (
TA) of the حُقُوق [or dues, meaning poor-rates], (
M,
TA,) of the cattle, (
Msb,) or of the sheep or goats, (
S,
M,
O,
TA,) and of the camels, (
M,
O,
TA,) for the persons to whom pertain the shares [thereof]. (
TA.) مُـ
ـصَّدِّــقٌ: see مُتَـ
ـصَدِّــقٌ.
مِـ
ـصْدَــاقٌ A thing that confirms, or proves, the truth of a thing: (
S,
K:) [and] a verbal evidence of the truth, or veracity, of a man. (
Har p. 106.) One says, هٰذَا مِـ
ـصْدَــاقُ هٰذَا This is what confirms, or proves, the truth of this. (
S.) And شَىْءٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِـ
ـصْدَــاقٌ [A thing having nothing to verify it]. (
IAar,
TA in art. برق.) مَـ
ـصْدُــوقَةٌ [see 1, near the beginning]. One says لَيْسَ لِحَمْلَتِهِ مَـ
ـصْدُــوقَةٌ [meaning There is no earnestness attributable to his charge, or assault]; like as one says [in the
contr. case], ليس لَهَا مَكْذُوبَةٌ. (
M.) مُتَـ
ـصَدِّــقٌ One who gives what is termed
صَدَــقَة [meaning alms]: (
S,
O,
Msb,
K:)
accord. to
Kh, it means thus, and also one who asks [alms]; (
O,
TA;) and
IAmb says the like; but
Az says that the skilful of the grammarians disallow this; and thus say
Fr and
As and others: (
TA:) [
J, also, and
Sgh and
Fei, say that] it has only the former meaning: (
S,
O,
Msb:) it is also pronounced ↓ مُـ
ـصَّدِّــقٌ, by substitution [of ص for ت] and incorporation [of one ص into the other]; (
S, *
O, *
Msb,
K; *) and this pronunciation of the
pl. both
masc. and
fem. occurs in the
Kur lvii. 17, (
S,
O,
K,) where Ibn-Ketheer and Aboo-Bekr, differing from others, read without teshdeed to the ص. (
O.)
