غَيْرٌ signifies i. q. سِوًى [Other]: and the pl. is أَغْيَارٌ: (S:) [but غَيْر itself often has a pl. meaning, as will be seen in what follows:] or [accord. to general usage, as will be seen below,] غَيْرُ signifies i. q. سِوَى [other than; exclusively of; or not, as used before a substantive or an adjective]. (Msb, K: in the CK [erroneously] سِوًى.) It is used to qualify a subst.; [governing (as a prefixed noun) the noun that follows it in the gen. case;] and when so used, it is put in the same case as the noun preceding it. (S.) It qualifies an indeterminate noun: (Mughnee, Msb:) you say جَآءَنِى رَجُلٌ غَيْرُكَ [A man, other than, or not, thou, came to me]: (Msb:) and نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا غَيْرَ الَّذِى كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ [We will in that case do good, other than, or not, what we used to do: (Kur xxxv. 34:)]: (Mughnee:) and مِنْ مَآءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ

[Of water other than, or not, altered in taste and colour]. (Kur xlvii. 16.) It is a noun necessarily prefixed, as to the sense, to a noun which it governs in the gen. case: but sometimes it is without the latter, when the meaning is understood and it is preceded by لَيْسَ, (Mughnee, K,) or by لَا: (K:) [in which case it signifies Any other person or thing; any person or thing beside, or else:] you say قَبَضْتُ عَشَرَةً لَيْسَ غَيْرُهَا [I received ten; not other than they was received by me; i. e., not any other thing; or not anything beside, or else]; (Mughnee, K;) the enunciative, مَقْبُوضًا, being suppressed: (Mughnee:) and ليس غَيْرَهَا, (Mughnee, K;) the noun [of ليس] being understood; i. e., لَيْسَ المَقْبُوضُ غَيْرَهَا: (Mughnee:) and ليس غَيْرَ; in which the affixed noun [ for المضاف, in the K, I read المضاف اليه, as in the Mughnee,] is suppressed, and the noun [of ليس] is also understood: (Mughnee, K:) and ليس غَيْرُ; (Mughnee, K;) in which, accord. to Mbr, and the later authors, غير is indecl., being likened to قَبْلُ and بَعْدُ, so that it may be either the noun or the enunciative [of ليس] or, accord. to Akh, it is decl., because it is not a noun of time like قَبْلُ and بَعْدُ, nor of place like فَوْقُ and تَحْتُ, but like كُلٌّ and بَعْضٌ, so that it is the noun [of ليس], and the enunciative is suppressed; (Mughnee;) or it may be either indecl. or decl., (Mughnee, K,) accord. to Ibn-Kharoof: (Mughnee:) and ليس غَيْرًا, and ليس غَيْرٌ; (Mughnee, K;) in both which cases it is decl., as though the affixed noun were mentioned: (Mughnee:) and لَا غَيْرُ; for the saying, [which we find in the Mughnee,] app. taken from a statement of Seer, that this is incorrect, is not good, since it occurs in the following verse, cited by Ibn-Málik; جَوَابًا بِهِ تَنْجُو اعْتَمِدْ فَوَرَبِّنَا لَعَنْ عَمَلٍ أَسْلَفْتَ لَا غَيْرُ تُسْأَلُ [Aim thou at having an answer by which thou mayest be safe; for, by our Lord, respecting an action which thou shalt have done before, not any other thing, or not anything beside or else, thou wilt be asked]. (K.) b2: It does not become determinate by its being prefixed to another noun, because it is very vague: but it is also applied as an epithet to a determinate noun which is near to being indeterminate; as in صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ [The way of those upon whom Thou hast conferred favour; the other than, or those who are not, the objects of anger; (Kur i. 6 and 7;)] because the noun rendered determinate by the art. ال denoting a genus is near to being indeterminate, and because when غير occurs between two contraries its vagueness becomes weakened, (Mughnee, K, *) or altogether departs: (K:) or it is here applied as an epithet to a determinate noun because it resembles a determinate noun in its being prefixed to such a noun: (Msb:) Az says that غير is here in the gen. case because it is an epithet to الذين; and that it may be an epithet to [what is technically termed in this instance] a determinate noun [as having the article ال prefixed to it] because الذين has not [in itself] a direct meaning (لِأَنَّ الَّذِينَ غَيْرُ مَصْمُودٍ صَمْدُهُ), [it being merely a conjunct noun, the meaning of which is determined by what follows it,] notwithstanding it has the art. ال prefixed to it: Abu-l-'Abbás says that Fr holds الذين to have the office of an indeterminate noun; and غير to be an epithet of it; not of any other noun; but that غير, accord. to some, may be an epithet relating to the nouns implied in انعمت عليهم, these not having a direct meaning: Akh says that غير [with what follows] is a substitute [for الذين with what follows], as though the meaning were صِرَاطَ غَيْرِ المَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ [the way of those who are not the objects of anger]. (TA.) The reading غَيْرَ is also related, on the authority of Ibn-Ketheer, in the accus. case, as a denotative of state, [meaning they being not the objects of anger,] relating to the pronoun governed in the gen. case by the prep. [in عليهم]; or by أَعْنِى [I mean] understood; or as an exceptive, [accord. to a usage to be explained below,] if the favours be interpreted as conferred in common upon the two classes of persons. (Bd.) b3: As it resembles a determinate noun in its being prefixed to a determinate noun, [as المغضوب in the above-cited passage of the Kur,] some have presumed to prefix to it the article ال: but against this it may be urged, that its prefixion to a determinate noun is not to render the expression determinate, but for specification; and ال does not imply specification. (Msb.) b4: In the following verse of Hassán, أَتَانَا فَلَمْ نَعْدِلْ سِوَاهُ بِغَيْرِهِ نَبِىٌّ بَدَا فِى ظُلْمَةِ اللَّيْلِ هَادِيَا the meaning is, [A prophet came to us, who appeared in the darkness of night, a director in the right way,] and we did not weigh another than him with another than the other, i. e., with him. (Mughnee.) b5: [وَغَيْرُ ذٰلِكَ is a phrase of frequent occurrence, meaning Et cœtera.] b6: غَيْرُ is also used in the sense of لَيْسَ [He, or it, is not]; as in the phrase كَلَامُ اللّٰهِ غَيْرُ مَخْلُوقٍ [The word of God is not created], syn. لَيْسَ بِمَخْلُوقٍ. (Az, TA.) b7: It is also used in the sense of لَا [meaning Not, as used before a participle]; (S, K;) and then it is in the accus. case, as a denotative of state; (S;) as in the phrase فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ, (S, K,) in the Kur [ii. 168, and other places], (S,) i. e., جَائِعًا لَا بَاغِيًا [But whosoever is necessitated, being hungry, not transgressing the due bounds]. (S, K.) b8: It is also used as an exceptive, (S, Mughnee,) in the sense of إِلَّا [Except; save; or but]; (Msb, K;) and then it is put in the same case in which the word following إِلَّا would be put in the same phrase, (S, Mughnee, Msb, K,) because it is originally a qualificative, and its use as an exceptive is adventitious: (S:) therefore you say جَآءَ القَوْمُ غَيْرَ زَيْدٍ [The people came, except Zeyd]; and مَا جَآءَنِى أَحَدٌ غَيْرَ زَيْدٍ and غَيْرُ زَيْدٍ [Not any one came to me, except Zeyd]: (Msb, K:) or its case depends upon the governing words, so that you say مَا قَامَ غَيْرُ زَيْدٍ

[No one stood, except Zeyd], and مَا رَأَيْتُ غَيْرَ زَيْدٍ

[I saw not any, except Zeyd]: (Msb:) but Fr says that some of the Benoo-Asad and Kudá'ah put غير in the accus. case, when used in the sense of إِلَّا, whether the phrase before it be complete or incomplete; saying مَا جَآءَنِى غَيْرَكَ [Not any one came to me, except thou], and ما جاءنى أَحَدٌ غَيْرَكَ [Not any one came to me, except thou]: (S, Msb:) and AA says that when غير has the place of إِلَّا, it is put in the accus. case. (Msb.) In the saying لَا إِلٰهَ غَيْرُ اللّٰهِ [There is no deity other than God], غير is in the nom. case because it is the enunciative of لا; but it may be put in the accus. case, as meaning إِلَّا. (Msb.) When, as an exceptive, it is prefixed to an indecl. word [and not preceded by a prep.], it may be itself indecl., with fet-h for its termination; as in the following verse; لَمْ يَمْنَعِ الشُّرْبَ مِنْهَا غَيْرَ أَنْ نَطَقَتْ حَمَامَةٌ فِى غُصُونٍ ذَاتِ أَوْقَالِ [Nought prevented the drinking from it, except that a pigeon cooed, upon branches having اوقال, which app. means stumps of cut shoots]. (Mughnee, K.) [See also an ex. (of غَيْرَ أَنَّ) in a verse cited voce بَيْدَ.] b9: [It is often used with a prep.; as in بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ Without reckoning; (Kur ii. 208, &c.;) and مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوْءٍ Without leprosy. (Kur xx. 23, &c.)]

(TA.) b3: [Hence also,] بَنَاتُ غَيْرٍ [or ↓ غِيَرٍ, as in Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 309,] (tropical:) Lying: or a lie, or falsehood: syn. كَذِبٌ: (TS, K:) or [rather] lies. (JK, A.)

سبق إليه أن بمعنى ظن أن. ففي كتاب محمد بن الحارث (ص319): وسأله القاضي كم ثمن هذا الرداء؟ فقال: هذا يكلفك عشرة دنانير، فَسَبق إلى القاضي إنه ثمنه. فاخرج إليه عشرة دنانير. وبعد ذلك قال القاضي: إنما ظننت إن ثمنه عشرة دنانير كما أعطيت.
سبق ظن: ميل، ما يشغل الفكر ويقال: مشغول العقل بسبق ظن (بوشر).
ولا أدري معنى الفعل سبق الذي جاء في المعجم اللاتيني - العربي مقابل Conprimit يَغُم ويَسْبَقُ سَبَّق (بالتشديد): جعله يسبق أي يتقدم (فوك) سَبَّق عليه في الكلام: قطع كلامه (محيط المحيط).
سابق: يقال بدل سابقه سابق معه أيضاً (معجم أبي الفداء): يُسابق بين الخيل: أرسل الخيل لينظر أيهما يسبق أي يتقدم ويجيء قبل الأفراس (رحلة ابن جبير ص291).

ويؤكد هذا أننا نجد هذا عند الموحدين الذي كانوا يحبون الاقتداء بالمسلمين الأولين ويقلدونهم في كلامهم، فأهل السابقة عندهم هم السابقون إلى متابعة المهدي (ابن الأثير 10: 406 أو مبايعته كما في النويري (أفريقية).
وكما يؤيده ابن خلدون بقوله: هم الذين تابعوا المهدي قبل أن يكون له سلطان أي قبل أن يستولي على مدينة مراكش (انظر تاريخ البربر 1: 358) وانظر تاريخ البربر (1: 269). والقبائل التي تابعت المهدي تتمتع بما يسمى مَزيّة السابقة (تاريخ البربر 1: 269) أو السابقة فقط (تاريخ البربر 1: 294). ويقول النويري (أفريقيا) في كلامه عن درجات الموحدين: وهم دون الذين قبلهم في الرتبة والسابقة أي المزية التي اسبقها عليهم المهدي.
ونجد كلمة سابقة أيضاً بمعنى الخضوع والاستسلام السريع. ففي تاريخ البربر (1: 331) مثلا: ورعا لهم سابقتهم أي أن صلاح الدين دعا لبني منقذ أمراء شيزر استسلامهم السريع وخضوعهم له.
ونجد فيه (1: 365) أيضا: نزع إليه (إلى السلطان أبي السالم) يوسف بن سعد الله واعتقد منه ذمَّة بسابقته تلك. وقد ترجمها دى سلان إلى الفرنسية بما معناه: إسراعه إليه والتحاقه به وهو نفس المعنى.
سابقة: علاقة قديمة أو خدمة قديمة. فيقال عن على: سابقته مع النبي أي ما قدم للنبي من خدمات سابقة (المسعودي 4: 428) وانظر: منتخبات من تاريخ العرب (المقدمة ص5).
وغالبا ما يقال: سابقته عند فلان (ابن بطوطة 3: 45) وفي كتاب عبد الواحد (ص89) وحين بكى ابن عمار عطفت المعتمد عليه سابقته وقديم حرمته.
وفي تاريخ البربر (1: 453): واصطنعوا أهل السوابق من الرجال أي الذين قدموا خدمات (تاريخ البربر 1: 4، 12، 475) وفي (2: 522): ليذكره ما بين سلفه وسلفهم من السابقة. وفي (2: 448): وكان له أثناء ذلك مداخلة للواثق ابن السلطان اعتدها له سابقة. أي وكان له أثناء ذلك علاقة وثيقة بالواثق ابن السلطان وقد اعتدله هذا خدمته السابقة.
سابقة: عمل صالح يمدح به الرجل ويعرف ففي ابن عباد (1: 223) وكان رجلاً قروياً من قرية من قرى اشبيلية لم تكن نباهة مذكورة ولا سابقة مشهورة.
وفي كتاب الخطيب (ص68 ق): وترجح عنده تقديم أبي محمد - مستظهرا منه بمضاء وسابقة وحزم.
وفي كتاب عبد الواحد (ص177) وكتاب الخطيب (ص21 ق): وهم أعيان عليه وفرسان أكابر وحجاب وكتاب ووزراء ولهم سابقات ومفاخر وأوائل وأواخر وفي فهرست المخطوطات الشرقية في مكتبة ليدن (1: 227): أولو السابقة وتعنى ذوى الشهرة المعروفين.

تَسْبيق: دفع السلف (هلو).
مُسَبَّق: ما يدفع سلفاً (محيط المحيط).
مَسْبُوق: من لم يدرك الركعة الأولى أو أكثر مع الإمام (محيط المحيط).

1 سَبَقَهُ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـِ (O, Msb, K) and سَبُقَ, (O, K,) but the former is of higher authority, or more usual, (O, TA,) inf. n. سَبْقٌ, (S, Msb,) He preceded him; he was, or became, got, went, or came, before him, or ahead of him; he outwent, or outstripped, him; he had, got, or took, precedence of him; syn. تَقَدَّمَهُ; (K, TA;) in running, and in everything. (TA.) Some read, in the Kur [xxi. 27], لَا يَسْبُقُونَهُ بِالقَوْلِ, thus, with damm, meaning They say not [anything] without his having taught them: (O, TA:) or they say not anything until He has said it: originally, لَا يَسْبُِقُ قَوْلُهُمْ قَوْلَهُ [their saying does not precede his saying]: this reading is from the phrase سَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ, [expl. below,] aor. of the latter أَسْبُقُهُ. (Bd.) See 3. b2: سَبَقَ الفَرَسُ فِى

الحَلْبَةِ The horse outstripped, or came in first, among those started together for a wager, or in the race-ground. (O, K.) Hence the trad. of 'Alee, سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ (assumed tropical:) [The Apostle of God came in first in the race, and Aboo-Bekr came in next, and 'Omar came in third]. (O, TA.) [And سَبَقَ used in like manner with the objective complement understood means He preceded, &c., as above; and hence, he was, or became, first, foremost, or beforehand; he had, or got, the priority, or precedence. And He was, or became, one of the first or foremost: see سَابِقٌ. See also قَصَبُ السَّبْقِ in art. قصب.] b3: سَبَقَ النَّاسَ إِلَى الأَمْرِ [He preceded the other people; was, or became, before them; or had, got, or took, precedence of them; in betaking, or applying, himself to the affair]. (S, K.) And in like manner one says, لَهُ سَبْقٌ فِى

هٰذَا الأَمْرِ To him belongs priority, or precedence, in this affair; like سَابِقَةٌ; syn. قُدْمَةٌ. (A, TA.) b4: [Hence,] سَبَقَ وَهْمُهُ إِلَى شَىْءٍ فَغَلِطَ فِيهِ (assumed tropical:) [He preconceived a thing, and therefore made a mistake, or erred, respecting it]. (Msb, in explanation of دُخِلَ عَلَيْهِ.) [And سَبَقَ ذِهْنُهُ إِلَى الشَّىْءِ means in like manner (assumed tropical:) He preconceived the thing: or his mind adverted hastily, before reflection, or without premeditation, to the thing; from what next follows.] b5: سَبَقَ إِلَيْهِمْ He went, or passed, hastily, or quickly, to them. (TA.) b6: [And hence,] سَبَقَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّى قَوْلٌ (assumed tropical:) A saying proceeded hastily, before reflection, or without premeditation, to him from me; syn. فَرَطَ: (S in art. فرط:) and سَبَقَ مِنْهُ كَلَامٌ (assumed tropical:) speech proceeded hastily, &c., from him; syn. فَرَطَ: (Msb in that art.:) [but this phrase also means, more agreeably with the primary signification of the verb, (assumed tropical:) speech proceeded previously from him; (see the Kur x. 20, &c.;) and in like manner the former phrase.] See also 8. And سَبَقَهُ القَىْءُ, (S, Msb, K, all in art. ذرع,) i. e. سَبَقَهُ فِى الخُرُوجِ إِلَى فِيهِ [meaning (assumed tropical:) The vomit came forth to his mouth before he was aware]. (TA in that art.) [And سَبَقَ القَلَمُ (assumed tropical:) The pen anticipated, skipping over something, in transcribing.] b7: One says also, سَبَقْتُ عَلَيْهٍ, meaning (tropical:) I overcame him. (TA.) And سَبَقَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ (assumed tropical:) He overcame his people in generosity. (TA.) And سَبَقَهُ فِى الكَرَمِ (assumed tropical:) He exceeded him in generosity. (TA.) 2 سبّق, (inf. n. تَسْبِيقٌ, Mgh,) He took, or received, the سَبَق [i. e. stake, or wager, laid at a race or a shooting-match, to be taken by the successful competitor]: (IAar, O, K:) or سَبَّقْتُهُ I took, or received, the سَبَق, from him. (Az, Mgh, Msb.) b2: And He gave the سَبَق: (IAar, O, K:) or سَبَّقْتُهُ I gave him the سَبَق. (Az, Mgh, Msb.) Thus it has two contr. significations. (IAar, Az, Mgh, O, Msb, K.) Hence, in the trad. of Rukáneh the wrestler, مَا تُسَبِّقُنِى, i. e. What wilt thou give me [if I overcome] ? and he said, The third of my sheep, or goats. (Mgh.) And سَبَّقَ البَدْرَةَ بَيْنَ الشُّعَرَآءِ (tropical:) He made the [sum of money termed] بدرة to be a سَبَق [i. e. stake, or wager,] among the poets, to be taken by him who should overcome. (Z, TA.)

(L, TA.) b3: One says also, سَبَّقْتُ بَيْنَ الخَيْلِ [app. meaning I gave a سَبَق among the horses]: (O:) or سَبَّقْتُ الخَيْلَ, and بَيْنَهَا ↓ سابقت, meaning I sent forth the horses with their riders upon them, to see which of them would outstrip. (TA.) b4: and سبّقت الشَّاةُ, inf. n. as above, The ewe, or she-goat, cast her young one, or fœtus, in an incomplete state: (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K:) but سبّغت, with غ, is better known. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) A2: سَبَّقْتُ الطَّائِرَ (tropical:) I put the سِبَاقَانِ [or pair of jesses] upon the legs of the bird, and [so] shackled it. (TA.) 3 سَابَقْتُهُ, inf. n. مُسَابَقَةٌ and سِبَاقٌ, [I strove, or contended, with him to precede him; to be, or become, get, go, or come, before him, or ahead of him; to outgo, or outstrip, him; to have, get, or take, precedence of him; in running (i. e. I raced, or ran a race, with him); and in everything.] (Msb, TA.) You say, ↓ سَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ [I strove, or contended, with him to precede him, &c., and I surpassed him, or overcame him, in doing so]: (S:) the aor. of the latter verb in this case is أَسْبُقُهُ, (Bd in xxi. 27,) and the inf. n. is سَبْقٌ. (S.) b2: See also 6. b3: And see 2.4 اسبق القَوْمُ إِلَى الأَمْرِ [perhaps a mistranscription for ↓ استبق] The people, or party, hastened to the thing, or affair; or employed the fulness of their power, or force, to hasten to it; syn. بَادَرُوا. (TA.) 6 تسابقا and ↓ استبقا signify the same: (K, TA:) thus the saying [in the Kur xii. 25]

البَابَ ↓ وَاسْتَبَقَا means تَسَابَقَا إِلَيْهِ, i. e. And they strove, or contended, each with the other, to precede, or get before, to the door. (TA.) [and both are trans. by means of إِلَى:] you say, تسابقوا إِلَى كَذَا and إِلَيْهِ ↓ استبقوا [They strove, or contended, together, to precede, or be first, in attaining to such a thing: and so ↓ سَابَقُوا: see the Kur lvii. 21, here سَابِقُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ is expl. by Bd as meaning سَارِعُوا مُسَارَعَةَ المُسَابِقِينَ فِى

المِضْمَارِ i. e. Strive ye, one with another, in hastening, with the striving of those that contend to outstrip in the hippodrome, to obtain forgiveness]. (Msb.)

We strove, or contended, one with another, to precede, get before or ahead, or outstrip, in running: and in like manner each of these verbs is used in relation to any object of contention for precedence]. (S.) b2: And تسابقوا and ↓ استبقوا (tropical:) They competed, or contended, together in shooting. (TA.) ↓ ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ, in the Kur [xii. 17], means (assumed tropical:) We went to compete, or contend, together in shooting: (S, Bd:) or in running. (Bd.) b3: And ↓ the latter of these verbs, as well as the former, signifies also They laid bets, wagers, or stakes, one with another. (TA.) 8 إِسْتَبَقَ [استبقهُ and استبق إِلَيْهِ i. q. بَادَرَ إِلَيْهِ. Thus]

(M and K in that art.) b3: فَاسْتَبَقُوا الــصِّرَاطَ, in the Kur xxxvi. 66, in which الــصراط is in the accus. case because of إِلَى suppressed before it, or by making الاِسْتِبَاقُ to imply the meaning of الاِبْتِدَارُ, (Bd,) means And they would hasten, make haste, or strive to get first or beforehand, to the road that they were wont to travel: (Bd, Jel:) or (tropical:) they would go along the road and leave it behind them, (Bd, * O, K, TA,) so that they would wander from the right way.

(El-Moheet, O, K.) سَبَقٌ A stake, or wager, that is laid between the persons concerned in a race, (T, S, O, Mgh, * Msb, * K,) and in a shooting-match; in the former case taken by [the owner of] the one that outstrips; (T, TA:) and ↓ سُبْقَةٌ signifies the same: (K:) pl. of the former أَسْبَاقٌ. (O, K.) It is said in a trad., لَا سَبَقَ إِلَّا فِى خُفٍّ أَوْ حَافِرٍ أَوْ نَصْلٍ, meaning There shall be no stake, or wager, except in the case of the racing of camels, or of horses or mules or asses, or in the case of [the arrowhead or lance-head, i. e.] shooting or casting [the lance]: for all these affairs are preparations for engaging in fight with the enemy; and mules and asses are included because they carry the baggage of the army.

ويسمى علم الميزان أيضا وهو: علم يتعرف منه كيفية اكتساب المجهولات التصورية والتصديقية من معلوماتها.
وموضوعه: المعقولات الثانية من حيث الإيصال إلى المجهول أو النفع فيه.
والغرض منه: عصمة الذهن عن الخطأ في الفكر.
ومنفعته: الإصابة في جميع العلوم.
قال في الكشف: الغرض منه ومنفعته ظاهران من الكتب المبسوطة في المنطق كذا قال في مفتاح السعادة انتهى.
والمنطق لكون حاكما على جميع العلوم في الصحة والسقم والقوة والضعف وأجلها نفعا وأعظمها سماه أبو نصر الفارابي: رئيس العلوم.
ولكونه آلة في تحصيل العلوم الكسبية النظرية والعملية لا مقصودا بالذات سماه الشيخ الرئيس ابن سينا بخادم العلوم.
وحكى أبو حيان في تفسيره البحر: إن أهل المنطق بجزيرة الأندلس كانوا يعبرون عن المنطق بالمفعل تحررا عن صولة الفقهاء حتى إن بعض الوزراء أراد أن يشتري لابنه كتابا من المنطق فاشتراه خفية خوفا منهم مع أنه أصل كل علم وتقويم كل ذهن انتهى.
قال الغزالي: من لم يعرف المنطق فلا ثقة له في العلوم أصلا حتى روي عن بعضهم أنه فرض كفاية وعن بعضهم فرض عين بناء على أن معرفة الله تعالى بطريق البرهان واجبة وإنها لا تتم إلا بعلم المنطق فما لا يتم الواجب إلا به فهو واجب قال القائل:
إن رمت إدراك العلوم بسرعة ... فعليك بالنحو القويم ومنطق
هذا الميزان العقول مرجح ... والنحو إصلاح اللسان بمنطق
قال في كشف الظنون: قال الشيخ أبو علي بن سينا: المنطق نعم العون على إدراك العلوم كلها وقد رفض هذا العلم وجحد منفعته من لم يفهمه ولا اطلع عليه عداوة لما جهل وبعض الناس ربما يتوهم أنه يشوش العقائد مع أنه موضوع للاعتبار والتحرير.
وسبب هذا التوهم أن من الأغبياء الأغمار الذين لم تؤدبهم الشريعة من اشتغل بهذا العلم واستضعف حجج بعض العلوم واستخف بها وبأهلها ظنا منه أنها برهانية لطيشه وجهله بحقائق العلوم ومراتبها فالفساد لا من العلم.
قالوا: ويستغنى عنه المؤيد من الله تعالى ومن علمه ضروري ويحتاج إليه من عداهما.
فإن قلت: إذا كان الاحتياج بهذه المرتبة فما بال الأئمة المقتدى بهم كمالك والشافعي وأبي حنيفة وأحمد بن حنبل رحمهم الله لم ينقل عنهم الاشتغال به وإنما هو من العلوم الفلسفية وقد شنع العلماء على من عربها وأدخلها في علوم الإسلام ونقل عن شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية الحنبلي رحمه الله أنه كان يقول: ما أظن الله تعالى يغفل عن المأمون العباسي ولا بد أن يعاقبه بما أدخل على هذه الأمة.
فجوابه إن ذلك مركوز في جبلاتهم السليمة وفطرتهم المستقيمة ولم يفتهم إلا العبارات والاصطلاحات كما ذكر في علم النحو.
وأصول المنطق تسعة على المشهور:
الأول: باب الكليات الخمس:.
الثاني: باب التعريفات.
الثالث: باب التصديقات.
الرابع: باب القياس.
الخامس: البرهان.
السادس: الخطابة.
السابع: الجدل.
الثامن: المغالطة.
التاسع: الشعر هذا خلاصة ما في العلمي حاشية شرح هداية الحكمة الميبذية وشرح حكمة العين وغيرها.
والكتب المصنفة في المنطق كثيرة منها: إيساغوجي وبحر الفرائد وتيسير الفكر وجامع الدقاق والشمسية غرة النجاة والقواعد الجلية ولوامع الأفكار والمطالع ومجل النظر ومعيار الأفكار وناظر العين ونخبة الفكر وغير ذلك انتهى ما في الكشف وكشاف اصطلاحات الفنون. ومن كتبه المرقاة للشيخ الفاضل فضل إمام الخير آبادي وهو مختصر مفيد وعليه شرح لحفيده المولوي عبد الحق.
وتهذيب المنطق للتفتازاني والصغرى والكبرى بالفارسية للسيد السند الشريف الجرجاني رحمه الله إلى غير ذلك.
قال بعضهم: والذي أجاب به شيخ الإسلام من كون المنطق مرتكزا في نفوسهم جواب ضعيف لا يخفى ضعفه على من يعقل ويعرف مقاصد الشريعة الغراء انتهى.
أقول: ارجع إلى كتاب رد المنطقيين لابن تيمية رحمه الله واعلم أن جواباته كثيرة وكلها صواب حق لا يسع ذكرها هذا المقام وهذا الجواب أيضا صواب يعرفه من منحه الله طبعا سليما لا اعوجاج فيه وصاحب القلب الصحيح والفكر السليم لا يحتاج إلى علم المنطق بل يصدر عنه العلم المطابق له من غير درية بهذا الفن كما يصدر الكلام الموزون ممن لا يعلم بعلم العروض والقافية ولا يحسن تقطيعات الأشعار ويقول نظما كثيرا وينظم قصائد طويلة ولا يعرف أوزان الشعر ولا بحوره فأي استبعاد في كون المنطق مرتكزا في نفوس بعض العباد الصحيح الفؤاد السلم المراد.
وقد اختلف أهل العلم في أن المنطق من العلم أم لا فتدبر.
قال ابن خلدون في بيان هذا العلم: هو قوانين يعرف بها الصحيح من الفاسد في الحدود والمعرفة للماهيات والحجج المفيدة للتصديقات وذلك أن الأصل في الإدراكات إنما هو المحسوسات بالحواس الخمس وجميع الحيوانات مشتركة في هذا الإدراك من الناطق وغيره
وإنما يتميز الإنسان عنها بإدراك الكليات وهي مجردة من المحسوسات وذلك بأن يحصل في الخيال من الأشخاص المتفقة صورة منطبقة على جميع تلك الأشخاص المحسوسة هي الكلي ثم ينظر الذهن بين تلك الأشخاص المتفقة وأشخاص أخرى توافقها في بعض فيحصل له صورة تنطبق أيضا عليهما باعتبار ما اتفقا فيه ولا يزال يرتقي في التجريد إلى الكل الذي لا يجد كليا آخر معه يوفاقه فيكون لأجل ذلك بسيطا. وهذا مثل ما يجرد من أشخاص الإنسان صورة النوع المنطبقة عليها ثم ينظر بينه وبين الحيوان ويجرد صورة الجنس المنطبقة عليهما ثم بينهما وبين النبات إلى أن ينتهي إلى الجنس العالي وهو الجوهر فلا يجد كليا يوافقه في شيء فيقف العقل هنالك عن التجريد.
ثم إن الإنسان لما خلق الله له الفكر الذي به يدرك العلوم والصنائع وكان العلم إما تصور للماهيات ويعني به إدراك ساذج من غير حكم معه.
وأما تصديقا أي: حكما بثبوت أمر لأمر فصار سعي الفكر في تحصل المطلوبات.
إما بأن تجمع تلك الكليات بعضها إلى بعض على جهة التأليف فتحصل صورة في الذهن كلية منطبقة على أفراد في الخارج فتكون تلك الصورة الذهنية مفيدة لمعرفة ماهية تلك الأشخاص
وإما بأن يحكم بأمر على أمر فيثبت له ويكون ذلك تصديقا وغايته في الحقيقة راجعة إلى التصور لأن فائدة ذلك إذا حصل إنما هي معرفة حقائق الأشياء التي هي مقتضى العلم.
وهذا السعي من الفكر قد يكون بطريق صحيح. وقد يكون بطريق فاسد فاقتضى ذلك تمييز الطريق الذي يسعى به الفكر في تحصيل المطالب العلمية ليتميز فيها الصحيح من الفاسد فكان ذلك قانون المنطق.
وتكلم فيه المتقدمون أول ما تكلموا به جملا جملا ومتفرقا ولم تهذب طرقه ولم تجمع مسائله حتى ظهر في يونان أرسطو فهذب مباحثه ورتب مسائله وفصوله وجعله أول العلوم الحكمية وفاتحتها ولذلك يسمى بالمعلم الأول وكتابه المخصوص بالمنطق يسمى النص وهو يشمل على ثمانية كتب أربعة منها في صورة القياس وأربعة في مادته.
وذلك إن المطالب التصديقية على أنحاء:
فمنها ما يكون المطلوب فيه اليقين بطبعه.
ومنها ما يكون المطلوب فيه الظن وهو على مراتب فينظر في القياس من حيث المطلوب الذي يفيده وما ينبغي أن تكون مقدماته بذلك الاعتبار ومن أي جنس يكون من العلم أو من الظن وقد ينظر في القياس لا باعتبار مطلوب مخصوص بل من جهة إنتاجه خاصة.
ويقال للنظر الأول: إنه من حيث المادة ونعني به المادة المنتجة للمطلوب المخصوص من يقين أو ظن ويقال للنظر الثاني: إنه من حيث الصورة وإنتاج القياس على الإطلاق فكانت لذلك كتب المنطق ثمانية.
الأول: في الأجناس العالية التي ينتهي إليها تجريد المحسوسات وهي التي ليس فوقها جنس ويسمى كتاب المقولات.
والثاني: في القضايا التصديقية وأصنافها ويسمى: كتاب العبارة.
والثالث: في القياس وصورة إنتاجه على الإطلاق ويسمى كتاب القياس وهذا آخر النظر من حيث الصورة.
ثم الرابع: كتاب البرهان وهو النظر في القياس المنتج لليقين وكيف يجب أن تكون مقدماته يقينية ويختص بشروط أخرى لإفادة اليقين مذكورة فيه مثل كونها ذاتية وأولية وغير ذلك وفي هذا الكتاب الكلام في المعرفات والحدود إذ المطلوب فيها إنما هو اليقين لوجوب المطابقة بين الحد والمحدود لا تحتمل غيرها فلذلك اختصت عند المتقدمين بهذا الكتاب.
والخامس: كتاب الجدل وهو القياس المفيد قطع المشاغب وإفحام الخصم وما يجب أن يستعمل فيه من المشهورات ويختص أيضا من جهة إفادته لهذا الغرض بشروط أخرى من حيث إفادته لهذا الغرض وهي مذكورة هناك وفي هذا الكتاب يذكر المواضع التي يستنبط منها صاحب القياس قياسه ومنه عكوس القضايا.
والسادس: كتاب السفسطة: وهو القياس الذي يفيد خلاف الحق ويغالط به المناظر صاحبه وهو فاسد وهذا إنما كتب ليعرف به القياس المغالطي فيحذر منه.
والسابع: كتاب الخطابة وهو القياس المفيد ترغيب الجمهور وحملهم على المراد منهم وما يجب أن يستعمل في ذلك من المقالات.
والثامن: كتاب الشعر وهو القياس الذي يفيد التمثيل والتشبيه خاصة للإقبال على الشيء أو النفرة عنه وما يجب أن يستعمل فيه من القضايا التخييلية هذه هي كتب المنطق الثمانية عند المتقدمين.
ثم أن حكماء اليونانيين بعد أن تهذبت الصناعة ورتبت رأوا أنه لا بد من الكلام في الكليات الخمس المفيدة للتصور فاستدركوا فيها مقالة تختص بها مقدمة بين يدي الفن فصارت تسعا وترجمت كلها في الملة الإسلامية وكتبها وتداولها فلاسفة الإسلام بالشرح والتلخيص كما فعله الفارابي وابن سينا ثم ابن رشد من فلاسفة الأندلس ولابن سينا كتاب الشفا استوعب فيه علوم الفلسفة السبعة كلها.
ثم جاء المتأخرون فغيروا اصطلاحات المنطق والحقوا بالنظر في الكليات الخمس ثمرته وهي: الكلام في الحدود والرسوم نقولها من كتاب البرهان وحدقوا كتاب المقولات لأن نظر المنطقي فيه بالعرض لا بالذات وألحقوا في كتاب العبارة الكلام في العكس لأنه من توابع الكلام في القضايا ببعض الوجوه ثم تكلموا في القياس من حيث إنتاجه للمطالب على العموم لا بحسب المادة وحدقوا النظر فيه بحسب المادة وهي الكتب الخمسة: البرهان والجدول والخطابة والشعر والسفسطة وربما يلم بعضهم باليسير منها إلماما وأغفلوها كأن لم تكن وهي المهم المعتمد في الفن.
ثم تكلموا فيما وضعوه من ذلك كلاما مستبحرا نظروا فيه من حيث أنه فن برأسه لا من حيث أنه آلة للعلوم فطال الكلام فيه واتسع.
وأول من فعل ذلك الإمام فخر الدين بن الخطيب ومن بعده فضل الدين الخونجي وعلى كتبه معتمد المشارقة لهذا العهد وله في هذه الصناعة كتاب كشف الأسرار وهو طويل واختصر فيها مختصر الموجز وهو حسن في التعليم ثم مختصر المجمل في قدر أربعة أوراق أخذ بمجمامع الفن وأصوله فتداوله المتعلمون لهذا العهد فينتفعون به وهجرت كتب المتقدمين وطرقهم كأن لم تكن وهي ممتلئة من ثمرة المنطق وفائدته كما قلناه والله الهادي للصواب انتهى كلام ابن خلدون.
قال في مدينة العلوم:
وقد صح بشهادة أهل التواريخ والندماء أن أول من دون المنطق أرسطو وقد بذل ملك زمانه في مقابلة ذلك خمسمائة ألف دينار وأدر عليه في كل سنة مائة وعشرين ألف دينار.
وقيل: أنه تنبه لوضعه وترتيبه من نظم كتاب إقليدس في الهندسة ثم إن أرسطو بعدما دون المنطق صارت كتبه مخزونة في أبنية ولاية موره من بلاد الروم عند ملك من ملوك اليونان ولما رغب الخليفة المأمون في علوم الأوائل أرسل إلى الملك المذكور وطلب الكتب فلم يرسل فغضب المأمون وجمع العساكر وبلغ الخبر إلى الملك فجمع البطاريق وشاورهم في الأمر فقالوا:
إن أردت الكسر في دين المسلمين وتزلزل عقائدهم فلا تمنعهم عن الكتب فاستحسن الملك فأرسلها إلى المأمون فجمع المأمون مترجمي مملكته كحنين بن إسحاق وثابت ابن قرة وغيرهما فترجموها بتراجم مختلفة بحيث لا يوافق ترجمة أحدهم ترجمة الآخر فبقيت التراجم غير محررة إلى أن التمس منصور بن نوح الساماني من أبي نصر الفارابي أن يحررها ويخصها ففعل كما أراد ولهذا لقب بالمعلم الثاني وكانت كتبه في خزانة الكتب المبنية بأصبهان المسماة بصوان الحكمة إلى زمان السلطان مسعود لكن كانت غير مبيضة لأن الفارابي كان غير ملتفت إلى جمع التصانيف ونشرها بل غلب عليه السياحة ثم إن الشيخ أبا علي تقرب عند السلطان مسعود بسبب الطب حتى استوزره واستولى على تلك الخزانة وأخذ ما في تلك الكتبولخص منها كتاب الشفا وغير ذلك من تصانيفه وقد اتفق إن احترقت تلك الكتب فاتهم أبو علي بأنه أحرقها لينقطع انتساب تلك العلوم عن أربابها ويختص بنفسه لكن هذا كلام الحساد الذين ليس لهم هاد.
واعلم أن الأوائل من الملوك كانوا يهتمون بجمع الكتب وخزانتها فحدثت في الإسلام خزائن ثلاث:
إحداها: بمدينة دار السلام ببغداد وكانت فيها من الكتب ما لا يحصى كثرة وقد ذهب الكل في وقعة تاتار ببغداد.
وثانيتها: خزانة الفاطميين بمصر وكانت من أعظم الخزائن وأكثرها جمعا للكتب النفيسة ولما انقضت دولتهم باستيلاء الملك صلاح الدين على مصر فاشترى القاضي الفاضل أكثر كتب هذه الخزانة ووقفها على مدرسته بمصر فبقيت فيها إلى أن استولت عليها الأيدي فلم يبق منها إلا القليل.
وثالثتها: خزانة بني أمية بالأندلس وكانت من أجل خزائن الكتب أيضا ولما انقرضت دولتهم باستيلاء ملوك الطوائف على الأندلس ذهب كلها.
أو من الكتب المبسوطة في المنطق: البحر الخضم ومنطق الشفاء لأبي علي بن سينا كتبه بلا مطالعة كتاب وكان يكتب كل يوم خمسين ورقة من حفظه وله كتاب النجاة والقانون والإشارات.
ومنها كتاب بيان الحق ومطالع الأنوار والمناهج كلها في المنطق والحكمة للأمور كان شافعيا وكتاب كشف الأسرار لمحمد بن عبد الملك الخونجي وهو صاحب الموجز في المنطق ومن الكتب اللطيفة التلويحات والمطارحات لأبي الفتوح يحيى بن حنش الملقب بشهاب الدين السهروردي الحكيم المقتول وقيل اسمه عمر.
ومنها: الملخص وشرح الإشارات للرازي والمعتبر لأبي البركات البغدادي اليهودي أولا في أكثر عمره والمهتد إلى الإسلام في آخر عمره أتى في المعتبر بأقسام الحكمة غير الرياضي وهو أحسن كتاب في هذا الشأن في هذا الزمان استولت عليه آفات لو وضع واحد منها على رضوى لتخلخلت أصولها الرواسخ وتدكدكت رؤوسها الشوامخ وذلك أنه عمى وطرش وبرص وتجذم فنعوذ بالله من نقمة لا تطيقها الأبدان ومن زوال العافية وتقلب الإحسان
ولما أحس بالموت أوصى من يتولاه أن يكتب على قبره: هذا قبر أوحد الزمان أبي البركات ذي العبر صاحب المعتبر فسبحان من لا يغلبه غالب ولا ينجو من قضائه متحيل ولا هارب نسأل الله في حياتنا العافية وفي مماتنا حسن العاقبة رب قد أحسنت فيما مضى فلك أن تحسن فيما بقي ولم يتحقق تاريخ وفاته إلا أنه كان في أوسط المائة السادسة.
ومنها جامع الدقائق للكاتبي وتنزيل الأفكار وحواشي ملخص الرازي له أيضا وإن أردت بلوغ الغاية في المنطق فعليك بتعديل الميزان وهو أحد أقسام تعديل العلوم لصدر الشريعة وقد كشف في هذا الكتاب عن غوامض طالما تحير فيها عقول الأقدمين وأبرز قواعد لم يهتد إليها أحد من الأوحدين ومع هذا فهو لعلوم الشريعة أبو عذرها وابن بجدتها وكتب المنطق أكثر من أن تحصى وأجل من أن تستقصي انتهى حاصله.
علم مواسم السنة
قال الأرنيقي: إن لكل أمة من الأمم ولكل طائفة من الأقوام مواسم وأعياد يعينون لكل منها شغلا مخصوصا فالعلم المذكور يعرف به أعياد كل قوم وإنها من السنة في أي يوم ويعرف شغل أهلها في ذلك ومن جملة ذلك يوم النيروز والمهرجان عند أهل الفارس وكان أهل القبط يأتي ملكهم في يوم النيروز ويرصدون من الليل فيقدمون رجلا حسن الاسم والوجه طيب الرائحة فيقف على الباب حتى يصبح فإذا أصبح دخل على الملك بغير أذن فيقف عنده.
فيقول له الملك: ما اسمك؟ ومن أين أنت أقبلت؟ وأين تريد؟ ولأي شيء وردت وما معك؟
فيقول: أنا المنصور واسمي المبارك ومن قبل الله أقبلت والملك السعيد أردت وبالهنا والسلامة وردت ومعي السنة الجديدة ثم يجلس ويدخل بعده رجل معه طبق من فضة وفيه حنطة وشعير وجلبان وذرة وحمص وسمسم وأرز من كل سبع سنابل وسبع حبات وقطعة سكر ودينار فيضع الطبق بين يدي الملك ثم يدخل عليه الهدايا ويبتدئ من الوزير ثم الناس على قدر مراتبهم ثم يقدم الملك برغيف كبير مصنوع من تلك الحبوب فيأكل منه ويطعم من حضره ثم يقول: هذا يوم جديد من شهر جديد من عام جديد من زمان جديد يحتاج أن يجدد فيه ما أخلقه الزمان وأحق الناس بالفضل والإحسان الرأس لفضله على سائر الأعضاء ثم يخلع على وجوه دولته ويصلهم ويصرف عليهم ما حمل إليه من الهدايا.
وكان من عادة الفرس في عيدهم أن يدهن الملك بدهن البان تبركا ويلبس القصب والوشي ويضع على رأسه تاجا فيه صورة الشمس ويكون أول من يدخل عليها المؤبد بطبق عليه أترجة وقطعة سكر ونبق وسفرجل وتفاح وعناب وعنقود عنب أبيض وسبع باقات آس ثم يدخل الناس مثل الأول على طبقاتهم ومن عادتهم في يوم النيروز أنهم: يجمعون بين سبع أشياء أول أسمائهن سينات يأكلونها هي السكر والسفرجل السمسم والسحاق والسذاب والسقنقور وعادات الناس في الأعياد خارجة عن التعداد انتهى.
قلت: وقد ذكر الشيخ الإمام العلامة المقريزي في كتاب الخطط والآثار كثيرا من أعيادهم وبسط في بيان ذلك ولكن الشرع الشريف قد ورد بإبطال كل عيد للناس على اختلاف فرقهم وقبائلهم وعشائرهم إلا ما وردت به السنة المطهرة من الجمعة والعيدين والحجج وعليه عمل المسلمين إلى الآن.
ولشيخ الإسلام أحمد بن تيمية رضي الله عنه كتاب سماه اقتضاء الــصراط المستقيم لمخالفة أصحاب الجحيم في رد أعياد الأقوام ونهي المسلمين عن اعتياد عادات هؤلاء الطعام وفي الحديث من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم والتشبه يشمل كل شبه يكون في الأعياد والأخلاق وهيأت اللبس والآكل والركوب والبناء والكلام وقد تساهل الناس المسلمون اليوم في التحرز عن التشبه إلى الغاية وشابهوا الكفار وأهل الكتاب في مراسمهم ومواسهم إلى النهاية إلا من عصمه الله وقليل ما هم وتأويل هذا الحديث يستدعي بسطا تاما وليس هذا موضع بيان المسائل والأحكام فعليك بالنظر في اقتضاء الــصراط المستقيم يتضح لك الحق مما هو باطل في دين الإسلام وبالله التوفيق.

A2: [Accord. to Golius, سَوَى, inf. n. سِوًى, signifies He intended, or proposed to himself: this he says as on the authority of the KL, in which only the inf. n. is mentioned with the explanation قصد وآهنگ كردن: and to this, Freytag adds the authority of Meyd; and also that the verb governs the thing which is its objective complement in the accus. case. In the S and other lexicons of good repute, I find the meaning of قَصَدَ assigned to اِسْتَوَى followed by إِلَى; but in none to سَوَى.]2 سوّاهُ, (S, M, &c.,) inf. n. تَسْوِيَةٌ, (K,) He made it equal, equable, uniform, even, level, flat, plane or plain; (S, * M, MA, Msb, K;) or equal in respect of elevation or of depression; (Er-Rághib, TA;) [and straight, right, direct, or rightly directed; (see its quasi-pass. 8;)] and ↓ اسواهُ signifies the same; (M, K;) namely, a place, (Msb, K,) or a thing, (S, M, Er-Rághib, TA,) or an uneven, or a crooked, thing. (Mgh.) It is said in a trad., فَأَمَرَ بِالخِرَبِ فَسُوِّيَتْ [And he gave orders respecting the ruins, and they were levelled]. (TA in art. خرب.) And in another trad., سَوَّيْنَا عَلَى رُقَيَّةَ, meaning We buried Ru-keiyeh, and made the earth of the grave even, or level, over her. (Mgh.) [Hence also,] سُوِّيتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَرْضُ: see 8. And hence the saying in the Kur [iv. 45], لُوْ تُسَوَّى بِهِمُ الْأَرْضُ, (TA,) i. e. That they were buried, and that the ground were made level over them; (S, * Bd;) بِ being here syn. with عَلَى: (TA in art. ب:) or the meaning is, that they became like the dust of the earth; (M, Jel;) thus expl. by Th; (M;) or that they had not been created, and that they and the earth were alike. (Bd.) [Hence also,] بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَنْ نُسَوِّىَ بَنَانَهُ, in the same [lxxv. 4], is said to mean [Yea: we are able] to make his hand like the foot of the camel, without fingers: or to make his fingers uniform, of one measure or size: (TA:) or the meaning is, we are able to put together the bones of his fingers [consistently] as they were. (Bd, Jel.) And بَيْنَ ↓ حَتَّى إِذَا سَاوَى

الصَّدَفَيْنِ, in the Kur [xviii. 95], means سَوَّى

(TA.) b2: [Also He made it uniform, equal, or consimilar, with another thing.] One says, سَوَّيْتُهُ بِهِ, (M, K,) inf. n. as above; (K;) and به ↓ سَاوَيْتُهُ, (M, * TA, TK,) and به ↓ أَسْوَيْتُهُ; I made it uniform, or equal, with it; or like it: (M, K, TA:) and ↓ سَاوَيْتُ هٰذَا بِذَاكَ I raised this so as to make it equal in measure, or quantity, or amount, with that. (TA.) And سَوَّيْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا, and ↓ سَاوَيْتُ, (S, M, K,) I made them uniform, or equal, each with the other; or like each other. (M, K, TA.) b3: [and He made it symmetrical or symmetrically, by, or with, a just adaptation of its component parts; made it congruous or consistent in its several parts, or with congruity or consistency in its several parts: he made it, formed it, or fashioned it, in a suitable manner: he made it to be adapted, or so as to be adapted, to the exigencies, or requirements, of its case, or of wisdom: he made it complete, or in a complete manner; completed it, or completed its make: he made it right or good, or in a right or good manner; rectified it; adjusted it; or put it into a right, or good, state.] In the Kur xxxii. 8, it means He made him symmetrical [or symmetrically], by the fit, or suitable, formation of his members. (Bd,) And سَوَّيْتُهُ in the same, xv. 29 and xxxviii. 72, I made his creation symmetrical: (Bd:) or I completed him, or made him complete. (Jel.)

And الَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّاكَ, in the same [lxxxii. 7], means [Who created thee,] and made thy creation to be adapted to the exigencies, or requirements, of wisdom. (TA.) وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا, in the same, [xci. 7, means By a soul and what made it to be adapted to its exigencies, i. e., to the performance of its functions, for it] is indicative of the faculties of the soul: this explanation is more proper than that which makes ما to mean [Him who, i. e.] God. (TA.) And رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا, in the same, lxxix. 28, means He hath raised high [its canopy, or] the measure of its elevation from the earth, or its thickness upwards, and made it symmetrical, or even, (Bd,) or completed it by adorning it with the stars, (Bd, TA, *) agreeably with what is said in the Kur xxxvii. 6, (TA,) and by means of the revolvings [thereof], &c.: from the saying next following. (Bd.) سوّى

فُلَانٌ أَمْرَهُ Such a one rectified, or adjusted, his affair; or put it into a right, or good, state. (Bd in lxxix. 28.) [Hence,] one says, سَوِّ وَلَا تُسَوِّئْ Rectify thou, and do not corrupt, or mar. (A and TA in art. سوأ.) [One says also, سوّى

الطَّعَامَ He cooked the food thoroughly: see 8 as its quasi-pass.] And سوّى فُلَانٌ مَنْصُوبَةً [Such a one framed a stratagem, or plot]. (TA in art. نصب.) A2: سَوَّى [as an intrans. verb, if not a mistranscription for سُوِّىَ], inf. n. as above: see 8.

A3: And سُوِّىَ, [app. for سُوِّئَ,] inf. n. as above, signifies It was, or became, altered [for the worse]; syn. غُيِّرَ. (TA.) 3 ساواهُ, (S, * M, * Msb,) inf. n. مُسَاوَاةٌ (M, Er-Rághib, Msb, TA) and سِوآءٌ, (M,) It was, or became, equal to it, (S, Er-Rághib, Msb, TA,) and like it, in measure, extent, size, bulk, quantity, or amount, and in value, (Msb, TA,) or in linear measure, and in weight, and in the measure of capacity, [as well as in value:] one says هٰذَا لِذٰلِكَ الثَّوْبِ ↓ الثَّوْبُ مُسَاوٍ [This garment, or piece of cloth, is equal in length and breadth to that garment, or piece of cloth]; and هٰذَا الثَّوْبُ لِذٰلِكَ الدِّرْهَمِ ↓ مُسَاوٍ [This garment, or piece of cloth, is equivalent to that dirhem]: and sometimes it means in mode, or manner of being: one says, لِذٰلِكَ السَّوَادِ ↓ هٰذَا السَّوَادُ [This blackness is equal in quality to this blackness]. Er-Rághib, TA.) It is said in a trad., سَاوَى الظِّلُّ التِّلَالَ The shade, or shadow, was like, in its extent, to the mounds, in their height. (TA.) [and ساوى الشَّىْءُ رَأْسَهُ means The thing equalled in height his head: see an ex. of the verb tropically used in this sense voce سِىٌّ.] One says also, هٰذَا يُسَاوِى دِرْهَمًا This is worth, or equal in its value to, a dirhem: and in a rare dial., one says, دِرْهَمًا ↓ سَوِىَ, aor. ـْ (Msb, TA;) which Az disallows, saying, one says ساواه, but not يَسْوَاهُ. (Msb.) And هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ لَا يُسَاوِى كَذَا This thing is not equivalent to [or is not worth] such a thing: (Fr, S:) or لَايُسَاوِى شَيْئًا [It (a garment, or some other thing, M) is not worth anything]: (M, K:) ↓ لا يَسْوَى is of a rare dial., (K,) unknown to Fr, (S,) disallowed by A'Obeyd, but mentioned by others: (M:) Az says that it is not of the language of the Arabs [of pure speech], (Msb, TA,) but is post-classical; and in like manner ↓ لا يُسْوِى is not correct Arabic: this last is with damm to the [first] ى: MF says that the generality of authorities disallow it, and the Fs expressly disallows it, but the expositors thereof say that it is correct and chaste, of the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, though an instance of a verb of which the aor. only is used. (TA.) One says likewise, ساوى الرَّجُلُ قِرْنَهُ The man equalled his opponent, or competitor, in knowledge, or in courage. (TA.) b2: See also 6.

A2: And see 2, in four places, in the former half of the paragraph.4 اسوى as a trans. verb: see 2, in two places, in the former half of the paragraph. b2: لَايُسْوِى

in the sense of لَايُسَاوِى is not correct Arabic: see 3, in the latter part of the paragraph.

A2: As an intrans. verb: see 8. b2: Also He was like his son, or offspring, [in some copies of the K his father, which, as is said in the TA, is a mistake,] in make, (M, K,) or in symmetry, or justness of proportion; (Fr, TA;) or simply he was like his son, or offspring. (M.) [In this instance, and in all the senses here following that are mentioned in the K, the verb is erroneously written in the CK استوى.] b3: اسوى فِى المَرْأَةِ i. q. أَوْعَبَ, (M, K, TA,) i. e. He inserted the whole of his ذَكَر into the فَرْج [of the woman]. (TA.) A3: Also, [as though originally أَسْوَأَ,] He was, or became, base, abased, object, vile, despicable, or ignominious; syn. خَزِىَ; (M, K;) from السَّوْأَةُ. (TA.) b2: and He voided his ordure; syn. أَحْدَثَ; (Az, M, K;) [likewise] from السَّوْأَةُ, as meaning “ the anus. ” (Az, TA.) b3: And hence, in the opinion of Az, and thought by J to be originally أَسْوَأَ [as he says in the S], (TA,) [though trans.,] He dropped, left out, omitted, or neglected, (S, M, K,) and did so through inadvertence, (S, K,) a thing, (S,) or a letter, or word, of the Kur-án, (M, K,) or a verse thereof: (M:) mentioned by A'Obeyd: (S:) and in like manner, accord. to IAth, in reckoning, and in shooting, or casting: and Hr says that أَشْوَى, with ش, is allowable, as meaning أَسْقَطَ. (TA.) b4: Also He was, or became, affected with بَرَص [or leprosy, which is sometimes termed السُّوْءُ; so that the verb in this sense also seems to be originally أَسْوَأَ]. (TA.) b5: And He was, or became, restored to health, [or free from سُوْءٌ as meaning an evil affection, (as though the verb were in this sense likewise originally أَسْوَأَ, the incipient أ being privative, as it is in many other instances, like the Greek privative

α,)] after a disease, or malady. (TA.) A4: أَسْوَيْتُهُ بِهِ: see Q. Q. 1 in art. اسو.5 تَسَوَّىَ see 8.6 تَسَاوَيَا They two were, or became, equal, like each other, or alike; as also ↓ اِسْتَوَيَا. (M, K.) ↓ استوى has two and more agents assigned to it: one says, استوى زَيْدٌ وُعَمْرُو وَخَالِدٌ فِى هٰذَا [Zeyd and 'Amr and Khálid were equal, or alike, in this]; i. e. تَسَاوَوْا: whence the saying in the Kur [ix. 19], عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ ↓ لَا يَسْتَوُونَ [They will not be equal, or alike, in the sight of God]. (TA.) and one says, تَسَاوَوْا فِى المَالِ They were, or became, equal in respect of the property, none of them exceeding another; as also فِيهِ ↓ اِسْتَوَوْا. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., as some relate it, ↓ مَنْ سَاوَى

يَوْمَاهُ فَهُوَ مَغْبُونٌ, in which the meaning is said to be تَسَاوَى [i. e. He whose two days are alike, neither being distinguished above the other by any good done by him, is weak-minded]. (TA.) And in another it is said, لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا تَفَاضَلُوا فَإِذَا تَسَاوَوْا هَلَكُوا, (S, * TA,) i. e. [Men will not cease to be in a good state while they vie in excellence,] but when they cease from vying in excellent qualities and are content with defect [and thus become alike, they perish]: or when they become equal in ignorance: or when they form themselves into parties and divisions, and every one is alone in his opinion, and they do not agree to acknowledge one exemplar or chief or leader [so that they are all alike]: or, accord. to Az, when they are alike in evil, there being none among them possessed of good. (TA.) 8 استوى [seems, accord. to Bd, to signify primarily He sought, or desired, what was equal, equable, uniform, even, or the like: for he says (in ii. 27) that the primary meaning of الاِسْتِوَآءُ is طلَبُ السَّوَآءِ; app. indicating the sense in which السوآء is here used by what follows. b2: And hence, accord. to him, but I would rather say primarily, as being quasi-pass. of سَوَّاهُ,] It was, or became, equal, equable, uniform, even, level, flat, plane or plain, [or equal in respect of elevation or of depression, (see 2, first sentence,)] straight, right, direct, or rightly directed; syn. اِعْتَدَلَ (S, M, Msb, K, TA, and Ksh and Bd in ii. 27) فِى ذَاتِهِ, (TA,) said of a place, (Msb,) and اِسْتَقَامَ, said of a stick, or piece of wood, &c. (Ksh ubi suprà.) And ↓ سَوَّى, [if not a mistranscription for سُوِّىَ,] inf. n. تَسْوِيَةٌ, signifies the same as استوى [app. meaning as above], accord. to IAar; and so does ↓ أَسْوَى, as also أَوْسَى, formed from it by transposition. (TA.) One says, اِسْتَوَتْ بِهِ الأَرْضُ [lit. The earth, or ground, became equable, uniform, even, &c., with him, he having been buried in it], meaning he perished in the earth; as also ↓ تَسَوَّتْ, and عَلَيْهِ ↓ سُوِّيَتْ. (M, K.) And استوت أَرْضُهُمْ Their land became [even in its surface, being] affected with drought, or barrenness. (M, * TA.) And استوى المَآءُ وَالخَشَبَةَ, meaning مَعَ الخَشَبَةِ [i. e. The water became even, or level, with the piece of wood]. (TA.) See also 6, in four places. One says also, استوى المُعَوَّجُ [or المُعْوجُّ (as in the MA) i. e. The crooked, or uneven, became straight, or even]: (Mgh:) and استوى مِنِ اعُوِجَاجٍ [It became even from a state of unevenness]. (S.) فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى سُوقِهِ, in the Kur xlviii. last verse, means And has stood straight, or erect, (Bd,) or become strong, and stood straight, or erect, (Jel,) upon its stems. (Bd, Jel. [Golius erroneously assigns a similar meaning to استسوى, a verb which I do not anywhere find.]) And فَاسْتَوَى in the same, liii. 6, And he stood straight, or erect, in his proper form in which God created him: or was endowed by his strength with power over the affair appointed to him: (Bd:) or became firm, or steady. (Jel.) استوى said of a stick &c. means It stood up or erect: and was, or became, even, or straight: hence one says, استوى إِلَيْهِ كَالسَّهْمِ المُرْسَلِ He, or it, went towards him, or it, with an undeviating, a direct, or a straight, course, like the arrow hot forth: and hence, ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى إِلَى السَّمَآءِ is metaphorically said of God, in the Kur ii. 27 [and xli.

10]; (Ksh;) meaning (tropical:) Then He directed himself by his will to the [heaven, or] elevated regions, (Ksh, Bd,) or upwards, (Ksh,) or to the heavenly bodies; (Bd;) syn. عَمَدَ, (Zj, M, K,) and قَصَدَ (Zj, S, M, K, and Ksh and Bd) بِإِرَادَتِةِ; (Ksh, Bd;) for when الاِسْتِوَآءُ is trans. by means of إِلَى

it imports the meaning of the directing of oneself, or, as in this case, of one's design: (TA;) you say of any one who has finished a work and has directed himself to another, قَدِ اسْتَوَى لَهُ and إِلَيْهِ: (Har p. 631:) or the meaning here is صَعِدَ, (Zj, M, K,) or صَعِدَ أَمْرُهُ [i. e. his command ascended]; (M;) and this is what is intended here by صَعِدَ: (TA:) or أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا [i. e. He advanced to it, namely, the heaven]; (Fr, Th, M, K;) like as one says, كَانَ فُلَانٌ مُقْبِلًا عَلَى فُلَانٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَىَّ يُشَاتِمُنِى and إِلَىّض also, meaning أَقْبَلَ [i. e. Such a one was advancing against such a one, then he advanced against me, and to me, reviling me, or contending with me in reviling]: (TA:) or it means اِسْتَوْلَى, (M, K,) as some say: (M:) J says, [in the S,] but not explaining thereby the verse above cited, that it signifies also اِسْتَوْلَى and ظَهَرَ [as meaning He had, or gained, the mastery, or victory]: and hence the saying of El-Akhtal, cited by him [in the S,] قَدِ اسْتَوَى بِشْرٌ عَلَى العِرَاقِ مِنْ غَيْرِ سَيْفٍ وَدَمٍ مُهْرَاقِ [Bishr has gained the mastery over El-'Irák without sword and without shed blood]: Er-Rághib says that when this verb is trans. by means of عَلَى, it imports the meaning of الاِسْتِيلَآء; as in the saying in the Kur [xx. 4], اَلرَّحْمٰنُ عَلَى

الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَى [which may be rendered, The Compassionate hath ascendancy over the empyrean so as to have everything in the universe equally within his grasp; agreeably with what here follows]: he then adds, it is said to mean that everything is alike in relation to Him in such manner that no one thing is nearer to Him than another thing, since He is not like the bodies that abide in one place exclusively of another place. (TA.) The saying لَمَّا اسْتَوَتْ بِهِ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَى البَيْدَآءِ means [When his riding-camel] ascended with him upon the desert: or stood up with him straight upon its legs. (Mgh.) and one says, استوى عَلَى ظَهْرِ دَابَّتِهِ, (S, TA,) or عَلَى الفَرَسِ, (Msb,) He was, or became, firm, or steady, [or he settled himself, or became firmly seated, or sat firmly,] upon the back of his beast, or upon the horse: (S, Msb, TA:) and استوى جَالِسًا [He became firm, or steady, sitting; or he settled himself in his sitting place; or sat firmly]. (Msb.) [استوى as quasi-pass. of سَوَّاهُ also signifies It was made, or became, symmetrical; congruous, or consistent in its several parts: was made, formed, or fashioned, in a suitable manner: was made, or became, adapted to the exigencies, or requirements, of its case, or of wisdom: was made, or became, complete: was made, or became, right, or good; became rectified, adjusted, or put into a right or good state. And hence,] استوى

الرَّجُلُ i. q. بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ [q. v.]; (M, K;) [generally meaning] The man [became full-grown, of full vigour, or mature, in body, or in body and intellect; i. e.] attained the utmost limit of [the period termed] his شَبَاب; (S;) or attained the utmost limit of his شَبَاب, and the completion of his make and of his intellect, by the completion of from twenty-eight to thirty [years]: (T, TA:) or attained to forty (T, M, K) years. (K.) and استوى الطَّعَامُ The food became thoroughly cooked. (Msb.) [خَطُّ الاِسْتِوَآءِ means The equinoctial line.]

سَىٌّ, [app. a dial. var. of سِىٌّ]: see لَا سِيَّمَا, in the next paragraph.

سِىٌّ, originally سِوْىٌ; and its dual: see سَوَآءٌ, in ten places, all except one in the latter half of the paragraph. b2: [Hence,] of him who is, or has become, in a state of wealth, or welfare, [or rather, of abundant wealth or welfare,] one says, هُوَ فِى سِىِّ رَأْسِهِ and رَأْسِهِ ↓ سَوَآءِ, (Fr, S,) or وَقَعَ فِى سِىِّ رَأْسِهِ [in the CK (erroneously) سَىِّ] and رأسه ↓ سَوَآءِ (M, K) and رأسه ↓ سِوَآءِ, (K,) or وَقَعَ رأسه ↓ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ فِى سِوَآءِ, (Ks, M,) i. e. (assumed tropical:) [He is in, or has lighted upon, or come upon,] what is in the predicament of his head (حُكْمِ رَأْسِهِ) [in point of eminence, of wealth, or welfare]: or what covers his head [thereof]: (M, K:) or what equals his head [in eminence] (يُسَاوِى رَأْسَهُ), of wealth, or welfare: (T, TA:) or what has equalled his head [in eminence], of wealth, or welfare; i. e. what has accumulated upon him, and filled [or satisfied] him: (M:) or [what equals] the number of the hairs of his head, of wealth, or good; (A'Obeyd, S, K;) as some explain it. (A'Obeyd, S.) See also سِنٌّ, last sentence but one. b3: [Hence likewise,] لَا سِيَّمَا, (S, M, Msb, K,) also pronounced لا سِيَمَا, without teshdeed, (Msb, Mughnee, K,) and ↓ لا سَيَّمَا is a dial. var. thereof, (Msb,) a compound of سِىّ and مَا, denoting exception: (S:) one says, لَا سِيَّمَا زَيْدٍ, i. e. لَا مِثْلَ زَيْدٍ [lit. There is not the like of Zeyd; virtually, and generally, meaning above all Zeyd, or especially Zeyd]; مَا being redundant: and لا سيّما زَيْدٌ also; like as one says, دَعْ مَا زَيْدٌ: (M, K:) [J says,] with respect to the case of the noun following ما, there are two ways: you may make مَا to be in the place of الَّذِى, and mean that an inchoative is to be understood, [namely, هو or the like,] and put the noun that you mention in the nom. case as the enunciative; thus you may say, جَآءَنِى القَوْمُ لَا سِيَّمَا أَخُوكَ, meaning لَا سِىَّ الَّذِى

هُوَ أَخُوكَ [i. e. The people, or party, came to me, and there was not the like of him who is thy brother; or above all, or especially, he who is thy brother]: (S, TA: [thus in a copy of the S: in other copies of the same, and in the TA, for سِىَّ, سِيَّمَا:]) but this rendering is invalidated in such a phrase as وَلَا سِيَّمَا زَيْدٌ by the supression of the correlative of the noun in the nom. case where there is no lengthiness, and by the applying ما to denote a rational being: (Mughnee:) or you may put the noun after it in the gen. case, making ما redundant, and making سِىّ to govern the noun in that case because the meaning of سِىّ is مِثْل: [and this is the preferable way:] (Mughnee:) in both of these ways is recited the saying of Imra-el-Keys, أَلَا رُبَّ يُوْمٍ لَكَ مِنْهُنَّ صَالِحٍ وَلَا سِيَّمَا يَوْمٌ بِدَارَةِ جُلْجُلِ [Verily many a good day was there to thee by reason of them; but there was not the like of a day, or above all a day, or especially a day, at Dárat Juljul, a certain pool, where Imra-el-Keys surprised his beloved, 'Oneyzeh, with others, her companions, bathing: see EM pp. 9 and 10]: you say also, أَضْرِبُ القَوْمَ وَلَا سِيَّمَا أَخِيكَ, meaning وَلَا مِثْلَ ضَرْبِ أَخِيكَ [i. e. I will beat the people, or party, but there shall not be the like of the beating of thy brother]: and if you say, وَلَا سِيَّمَا أَخُوكَ, the meaning is, وَلَا مِثْلَ الَّذِى هُوَ أَخُوكَ [and there shall not be the like of him who is thy brother]: in the saying إِنَّ فُلَانًا كَرِيمٌ وَلَا سِيَّمَا إِنْ أَتَيْتَهُ قَاعِدًا, accord. to Akh, ما is a substitute for the affixed pronoun هُ, which is suppressed; the meaning being, وَلَا مِثْلَهُ إِنْ أَتَيْتَهُ قَاعِدًا [i. e. Verily such a one is generous, and there is not the like of him if thou come to him sitting]: (S, TA:) it is said in the Msb, [after explaining that ما in سيّما may be redundant, and the noun after it governed in the gen. case as the complement of a prefixed noun; and that ما may be used in the sense of الّذى, and the noun following put in the nom. case as the enunciative of the inchoative هو which is suppressed;] that, accord. to some, the noun following may be in the accus. case, as being preceded by an exceptive; [or, as a specificative; (Mughnee;) in which case we must regard ما as a substitute for the affixed pronoun هُ;] but that this is not a good way; [and in this case, accord. to the generality of the authorities, it must be an indeterminate noun, not, like زَيْدٌ, determinate: (Mughnee:)] also that سيّما should not be used without لا preceding it: and that it denotes the predominance of what follows it over what precedes it: but it is added that لا is sometimes suppressed [as is said in the Mughnee] because known to be meant, though this is rare. (TA.) One says also, لَاسِىَّ لِمَا فُلَانٌ (Lh, M, K) i. e. There is not the like of such a one: (TA:) and لَا سِيَّكَ مَا فُلَانٌ (Lh, M, K) i. e. Such a one is not the like of thee. (TA.) [In both of these instances, ما is obviously redundant. Other (similar) usages of سِىّ are mentioned voce سَوَآءٌ, to which reference has been made above.] b4: سِىٌّ also signifies A [desert such as is termed]

مُفَازَة; (S, M, K) because of the evenness of its routes, and its uniformity. (TA.) [Hence السِّىُّ is the name of a particular tract, said in the M to be a certain smooth place in the بَادِيَة.] b5: See also art. سيو.

سِيَّة: see سَوَآء, near the end of the paragraph.

سُوًى: see سَوَآءٌ, in seven places: b2: and see also سِوًى, in two places.

سِوًى: see سَوَاءٌ, in seven places. b2: Also, and likewise ↓ سُوًى, (Akh, S, Msb, Mughnee, K,) and ↓ سَوَآءٌ, (Akh, S, M, Mughnee, K,) and ↓ سِوَآءٌ, (Mughnee,) i. q. مَكَانٌ, (Mughnee,) or غَيْرٌ, (Akh, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K,) accord. to different authorities: each used as an epithet, and as denoting exception, like غَيْر; accord. to Ez-Zejjájee and Ibn-Málik, used in the same sense and manner as غَيْر: but accord. to Sb and the generality of authorities, an adv. n. of place, always in the accus. case, except in instances of necessity: (Mughnee:) one says, عِنْدِى رَجُلٌ سِوَى زَيْدٍ, meaning بَدَلَ زَيْدٍ and مَكَانَ زَيْدٍ [i. e. I have with me a man instead of Zeyd and in the place of Zeyd]: (Ham p. 570, and TA: *) [but] one says [also] مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ سِوَاكَ and ↓ سُوَاكَ and ↓ سَوَائِكَ, meaning غَيْرِكَ [i. e. I passed by a man other than thee]: (S:) and ↓ جَآءَنِى سَوَاؤُكَ [and سِوَاك &c. Other than thou came to me], using it as an agent; and ↓ رَأَيْتُ سَوَآءَكَ [and سِوَاكَ &c. I saw other than thee], using it as an objective complement: and ↓ مَا جَآءَنِى أَحَدٌ سَوَآءَكَ [and سِوَاكَ &c. None except thou came to me]: and مَا جَآءَنِى أَحَدٌ

↓ سَوَاؤُكَ [and سِوَاكَ &c. None other than thou came to me]: (Mughnee:) and قَصَدْتُ القَوْمَ سِوَى

زَيْدٍ, meaning غَيْرَ زَيْدٍ [i. e. I betook myself to, or towards, the people, or party, others than Zeyd, which is virtually the same as except Zeyd]: (Msb:) and لَئِنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَاكَ وَأَنَا سِوَاكَ لَيَأْتِيَنَّكَ مِنِّى

مَا تَكْرَهُ, meaning [If thou do that] when I am in a land other than thy land, [what thou dislikest, or hatest, shall assuredly come to thee from me.] (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) b3: The Arabs also said, عَقْلُكَ سِوَاكَ, meaning Thine intellect has departed from thee. (IAar, M.) A2: The strangest of the meanings of سِوَى, in this sense with the short alif and with kesr, is قَصْدٌ. (Mughnee.) سِوَى الشَّىْءِ means قَصْدُهُ [i. e. The tendency, or direction, of the thing]. (M.) And one says, قَصَدْتُ سِوَى

فُلَانٍ, meaning قَصَدْتُ قَصْدَهُ [i. e. I tended, or betook myself, in the direction of, or towards, such a one]. (S, K. * [In the CK, and in my MS. copy of the K, سَوَاهُ is erroneously put for سِوَاهُ.]) And hence, (Mughnee,) a poet says, (namely, Keys Ibn-El-Khateem, TA,) وَلَأَصْرِفَنَّ سِوَى حُذَيْفَةَ مِدْحَتِى

[And I will surely turn towards Hodheyfeh my eulogy]. (S, Mughnee.) سَوَآءٌ [in some copies of the K erroneously written without ء] in its primary acceptation is an inf. n., [but without a proper verb, used as a simple subst.,] meaning Equality, equability, uniformity, or evenness; syn. اِسْتِوَآءٌ; (Mughnee;) as also ↓ سَوِيَّةٌ: (M, K:) or [rather] it is a subst., (S, and Ksh and Bd in ii. 5,) meaning اِسْتِوَآءٌ, (Ksh and Bd ibid.,) from اِسْتَوَى in the sense of اِعْتَدَلَ; (S;) and signifies [as above: and] equity, justice, or rectitude; syn. عَدْلٌ; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ سَوِيَّةً; (M;) and ↓ سِوًى and ↓ سُوًى, as well as سَوَآءٌ, accord. to Fr, are syn. with نَصَفٌ; and accord. to him, (TA,) and to Akh, (S, TA,) syn. with عَدْلٌ; (S, K, TA;) [but app., only syn. with عَدْلٌ and نَصَفٌ not as a subst. but as an epithet, like وَسَطٌ thus used, as will be shown by what follows, although] each said by Er-Rághib to be originally an inf. n. (TA.) One says, هُمَا مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ ↓ عَلَى سَوِيَّةً, meaning سَوَآءٍ [i. e. They two are on an equality, or on a par, in respect of this affair, or case]: (S, TA:) and ↓ هُمْ عَلَى سَوِيَّةٍ, meaning [likewise] اِسْتِوَآءٌ [i. e. They are on an equality, or on a par], (M, K,) فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ [in this affair, or case]. (M.) and ↓ قَسَمْتُ الشَّىْءَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِالسَّوِيَّةِ, (S,) meaning بِالعَدْلِ [i. e. I divided the thing between them two with equity, justice, or rectitude]. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur [viii. 60], فَانْبِذْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَى سَوَآءٍ, meaning عَدْلٍ [as expl. in art. نبذ, q. v.]. (S, * TA.) [Hence,] لَيْلَةُ السَّوَآءِ The night of the thirteenth [of the lunar month; the first being that on which the new moon is first seen]; (As, S, K, TA;) in which the moon becomes equable or uniform (يَسْتَوِى) [in illumination]: (TA:) or the night of the fourteenth. (M, K.) b2: and i. q. وَسَطٌ [as meaning The middle, or midst, of a thing]; (S, M, Mughnee, K;) as also ↓ سُوًى and ↓ سِوًى. (Lh, M, K.) Hence, سَوَآءُ الشَّىْءِ The middle, or midst, of the thing; (S, M;) as also ↓ سُوَاهُ and ↓ سِوَاهُ. (Lh, M.) It is said in the Kur [xxxvii. 53,] فَرَآهُ فِى سَوَآءِ الْجَحِيمِ [And he shall see him] in the middle or midst [of the fire of Hell]. (S, * Mughnee, TA.) In like manner also one says سَوَآءُ السَّبِيلِ [The middle of the road]: or, accord. to Fr, it means the right direction of the road or way. (TA.) And one says, اِنْقَطَعَ سَوَائِى, meaning My waist [broke], or my middle. (TA.) And سَوَآءُ النَّهَارِ means The middle of the day. (M, K. [In some copies of the K, مُتَّسَعُهُ is erroneously put for مُنْتَصَفُهُ.]) b3: [Hence, perhaps, as being generally the middle or nearly so,] The summit of a mountain. (M, K.) And An [eminence, or a hill, or the like, such as is termed]

أَكَمَة: or a [stony tract such as is termed] حَرَّة: or the head of a حَرَّة. (M.) A2: It is also used as an epithet; (Mughnee;) and signifies Equal, equable, uniform, or even; syn. ↓ مُسْتَوٍ; (M, Mughnee, K;) applied in this sense to a place; (Mughnee;) as also, thus applied, ↓ سَوِىٌّ, and ↓ سِىٌّ; (M, K;) or these two signify, thus applied, [like سَوَآءٌ as expl. hereafter,] equidistant in respect of its two extremities. (TA.) And as syn. with ↓ مُسْتَوٍ, it is applied [to a fem. noun as well as to a sing., and] to one and more than one, because it is originally an inf. n.; whence the phrase لَيْسُوا سَوَآءً [They are not equal; in the Kur iii. 109]. (Mughnee.) Using it in this sense, one says أَرْضٌ سَوَآءٌ [An even land]: and دَارٌ سَوَآءٌ A house uniform (↓ مُسْتَوِيَةٌ) in respect of the [appertenances termed] مَرَافِق: and ثَوْبٌ سَوَآءٌ A garment, or piece of cloth, equal, or uniform, (↓ مُسْتَوٍ,) in its breadth and its length and its two lateral edges: but one does not say جَمَلٌ سَوَآءٌ, nor حَمَارٌ سَوَآءٌ, nor رَجُلٌ سَوَآءٌ: (M, TA:) though one says رَجُلٌ سَوَآءُ البَطْنِ A man whose belly is even with the breast: and سَوَآءُ القَدَمِ having no hollow to the sole of his foot. (TA.) One says also الخَلْقِ ↓ رَجُلٌ سَوِىٌّ, (S, M,) meaning ↓ مُسْتَوٍ

[i. e. A man uniform in make, or symmetrical; or full-grown, of full vigour, or mature in body, or in body and intellect: see 8]: (S:) and رَجُلٌ ↓ سَوِىٌّ A man equally free from excess and deficiency in his dispositions and his make: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or sound in limbs: (TA voce مِرَّةٌ, q. v.:) and ↓ غُلَامٌ سَوِىٌّ A boy, or young man, uniform in make, or symmetrical, (الخَلْقِ ↓ مُسْتَوِى,) without disease, and without fault, or defect: (Mgh:) and the fem. is سَوِيَّةٌ. (M.) Accord. to Er-Rághib, ↓ السَّوِىُّ signifies That which is preserved from excess and deficiency: and hence ↓ الــصِّرَاطِ السَّوِىِّ [in Kur xx. last verse, as though meaning The road, or way that neither exceeds, nor falls short of, that which is right]; (Er-Rághib, TA;) the right, or direct, road: (Bd, Jel:) and some read السَّوَآءِ, meaning the middle, good, road: and السَّوْءِ (Ksh, Bd) i. e. the evil, or bad, road: (Bd:) and السُّوْءَى [i. e. most evil, or worst; fem. of أَسْوَأُ; for الــصِّرَاطُ is fem. as well as masc.]: (Ksh, Bd:) [and] ↓ السُّوَىَ, of the measure فُعْلَى from السَّوَآءُ, [with which it is syn.,] or originally السُّوْءَى [mentioned above]: (K:) and ↓ السُّوَىِّ, (Ksh, Bd,) which is dim. of السَّوَآء, (Lth, TA,) [or] as dim. of السَّوْء [in which case it is for السُّوَىْءِ]. (Ksh, Bd.) b2: [Hence,] it signifies also Complete: (Mughnee:) you say, هٰذَا دِرْهَمٌ سَوَآءٌ (M, Mughnee) This is a complete dirhem; (Mughnee;) using the last word as an epithet: and سَوَآءً also, using it as an inf. n., as though you said اِسْتِوَآءً: and in like manner in the Kur xli. 9, some road سَوَآءً; and others, سَوَآءٍ. (M.) b3: And Equitable, just, or right; syn. عَدْلٌ: used in this sense in the saying in the Kur [iii. 57], تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَآءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ [Come ye to an equitable, or a just, or right, sentence, or proposition, between us and you]. (Az, TA.) b4: And Equidistant, or midway, (عَدْلٌ, and وَسَطٌ, S, or نَصَفٌ, Mughnee,) between two parties, (S,) or between two places; (Mughnee;) applied as an epithet to a place; as also ↓ سِوًى and ↓ سُوًى; (S, Mughnee;) of which three words the second (سِوًى) is the most chaste; (Mughnee;) or the last two signify equal (مُسْتَوٍ) in respect of its two extremities; and are used as epithets and as adv. ns.; originally, inf. ns. (Er-Rághib, TA.) ↓ مَكَانًا سِوًى and ↓ سُوًى, (M, K,) in the Kur xx. 60, accord. to different readings, means A place equidistant, or midway, (Ksh, Bd, Jel,) between us and thee, (Ksh, Bd,) or to the comer from each of the two extremities: (Jel:) or مَكَانٌ سِوًى and سُوًى means مُعْلَمٌ [i. e. a place marked], (so in a copy of the M and in one of the K,) or مَعْلَمٌ, (so in other copies of the K and in the TA,) which is for ذُو مَعْلَمٍ, meaning having a mark, or sign, by which one is guided, or directed, thereto. (MF, TA.) b5: [Also Equal, or alike, in any respect.] One says, مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ سَوَآءٍ وَالعَدَمُ, (M, Mughnee, K,) and وَالعَدَمُ ↓ سِوَآءٍ, (K,) and وَالعَدَمُ ↓ سِوًى, and وَالعَدَمُ ↓ سُوًى, (M, K,) meaning وُجُودُهُ وَعَدَمُهُ سَوَآءٌ [i. e. I passed by a man whose existence and whose non-existence are equal, or alike, to me, or in my opinion]: (M, K: *) and Sb mentions the phrase, سَوَآءٌ هُوَ وَالعَدَمُ [as meaning His existence and his nonexistence are equal, or alike, to me]. (M.) and سَوَآءٌ عَلَىَّ قُمْتَ أَوْ قَعَدْتَ [It is equal, or alike, to me, that thou stand or that thou sit, or whether thou stand or sit; or that thou stand or that thou sit is equal, or alike, to me: see Kur ii. 5, and the expositions thereof]. (S.) [And ↓ سِوًى is used as an adv. n., or as an inf. n. adverbially, meaning Alike: see an ex. in a verse cited voce سَبْتٌ.] b6: Also A like; a similar person or thing; (S, M, K;) and so ↓ سِىٌّ: [each used as masc. and fem.; and the former as sing. and dual and pl., though having proper dual and pl. forms:] the pl. of the former is أَسْوَآءٌ, (S, M, K,) and also, (S, * K,) but anomalous, (S,) or [rather] quasi-pl. ns., all anomalous, (M,) ↓ سَوَاسِيَةٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ سَوَاسٍ and ↓ سَوَاسِوَةٌ: (M, K:) and أَسْوَآءٌ is also pl. of ↓ سِىٌّ: (TA:) as to ↓ سَوَاسِيَةٌ, Akh says, سَوَآءٌ is of the measure فَعَالٌ, and سِيَةٌ may be of the measure فِعَةٌ or فِلَةٌ, the former of which is the more agreeable with analogy, the و being changed into ى in سِيَةٌ because of the kesreh before it, for it is originally سِوْيَةٌ; and it is from أَسْوَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ meaning “ I neglected the thing: ” [see 4:] (S:) accord. to Aboo-'Alee, the ى in سَوَاسِيَةٌ is changed from the و in سَوَاسِوَةٌ, in which latter some preserve it to show that it is the final radical: (M:) accord. to Fr, سَوَاسِيَةٌ has no sing., and relates only to equality in evil: (T, TA:) so in the saying, سَوَاسِيَةٌ كَأَسْنَانِ الحِمَارِ [Equals like the teeth of the ass]. (TA.) It requires two [or more nouns for its subjects]: you say, سَوَآءٌ زَيْدٌ وَعَمْرٌو, meaning ذَوَا سَوَآءٍ [i. e., lit., Two possessors of equality, or likeness, are Zeyd and 'Amr], (M, K,) because it is [originally] an inf. n.: (M:) and هُمَا فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ سَوَآءٌ [They two are in this affair, or case, likes]: (S:) and هُمَا سَوَاآنِ (S, M, K) and ↓ سِيَّانِ i. e. They two are likes: (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) and هُمْ سَوَآءٌ and أَسْوَآءٌ and ↓ سَوَاسِيَةٌ i. e. They are likes; (S; [the first and last of these three are mentioned in the Mgh as identical in meaning;]) or, accord. to Fr, the last means they are equals in evil, not in good: (T, TA:) and ↓ مَاهُوَ لَكَ بِسِىٍّ He is not a person like to thee: and مَاهُمْ لَكَ بِأَسْوَآءٍ [They are not persons like to thee]: (Lh, M:) and ↓ مَاهِىَ لَكَ بِسِىٍّ (Lh, M, K *) i. e. She is not a person like to thee: (TA:) and مَاهُنَّ لَكَ بِأَسْوَآءٍ [They (females) are not persons like to thee]: and لِمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَاكَ ↓ لَا سِىَّ [There is not a like to him who did that]: and إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَاكَ ↓ لَا سِيَّكَ [There is not the like of thee when thou doest that]: (Lh, M, K:) and فُلَانٍ ↓ لَا سِيَّةَ (K) [There is not the like of such a one: in the CK, فُلَانٌ: perhaps the right reading is فُلَانٌ ↓ لَا سِيَّكَ Such a one is not the like of thee]. سَوَآءٌ and ↓ سِيَّانِ should not be used with أَوْ in the place of وَ except by poetic license: one of the exceptions to this rule is the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, وَكَانَ سِيَّانِ أَلَّا يَسْرَحُوا نَعَمًا أَوْ يَسْرَحُوهُ بِهَا وَاغْبَرَّتِ السُّوحُ [And they were two like cases that they should not send forth cattle to pasture or send him forth with them when the tracts were very dusty by reason of drought]. (M.) For two other exs. of سَوَآء, [as well as of its syn. سِىّ, and for لَا سِيَّمَا also,] see سِىٌّ. b7: See also سِوًى in six places.

سِوَآءٌ: see سِىٌّ, second sentence, in two places: and سَوَآءٌ also, in the latter half of the paragraph: b2: and see سِوًى. b3: بَعَثُوا بِالسِّوَآءِ وَاللِّوَآءِ means (assumed tropical:) They sent seeking, or demanding, aid, or succour.

(S.) سَوَاسٍ and سَوَاسِوَةٌ and سَوَاسِيَةٌ: see سَوَآءٌ, in the latter half of the paragraph; the last of them in three places.

سَوَّآءٌ لَوَّآءٌ, each of the measure فَعَّالٌ, irregularly derived from اِسْتَوَى and اِلْتَوَى; a prov., applied to women, meaning Straight and bending, and collecting together and separating; not remaining in one state, or condition. (Meyd.) b2: and أَرْضٌ سَوَّآءٌ Land of which the earth, or dust, is like sand. (IAth, TA.) سَايَةٌ is [held by some to be] of the measure فَعْلَةُ from التَّسْوِيَةُ [inf. n. of سوّى]; (K;) mentioned by Az on the authority of Fr; but in copies of the T, فَعْلَةٌ from السَّوِيَّةُ. (TA.) One says, ضَرَبَ لِى سَايَةً, meaning He prepared for me a speech: (K:) or an evil speech, which he framed (سَوَّاهَا) against me to deceive me: mentioned by Az on the authority of Fr. (TA.) [See the same word in art. سوأ.]

أَسْوَى [More, and most, equal, equable, uniform, or even: and more, or most, equitable, &c.]. One says, هٰذَا المَكَانُ أَسْوَى هٰذِهِ الأَمْكِنَةِ i. e. [This place is] the most even [of these places]. (M.) تَسْوَآءٌ An even place; occurring in a trad.: the ت is augmentative. (TA.) مُسْوٍ [act. part. n. of 4]. One says in answer to him who asks, “How have ye entered upon the morning? ” (S,) or “ How have ye entered upon the evening? ” (M, TA,) مُسْوُونَ صَالِحُونَ [as enunciatives of نَحْنُ understood], (S, M,) or صَالِحِينَ ↓ مُسْتَوِينَ [as enunciatives of أَصْبَحْنَا or أَمْسَيْنَا understood, but I think that مُسْتَوِينَ is a mistranscription for مُسْوِينَ], meaning In a good, right, state, with respect to our children and our cattle.

امن

1 أَمِنَ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـَ (T, Msb, K,) inf. n. أَمْنٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and إِمْنٌ (Zj, M, K) and أَمَنٌ (M, K) and أَمَنَةٌ (T, S, M, K) and إِمْنَةٌ (T) and أَمَانٌ (M, K) [and app. أَمَانَةٌ, for it is said in the S that this is syn. with أَمَانٌ,] and آمنٌ, an instance of an inf. n. of the measure فَاعِلٌ, which is strange, (MF,) or this is a subst. like فَالِجٌ, (M,) He was, or became, or felt, secure, safe, or in a state of security or safety; originally, he was, or became, quiet, or tranquil, in heart, or mind; (Msb;) he was, or became, secure, or free from fear; أَمْنٌ signifying the contr. of خَوْفٌ, (S, M, K,) and so أَمَنَةٌ (S) and آمِنٌ [&c.]: (M, K:) he was, or became, or felt, free from expectation of evil, or of an object of dislike or hatred, in the coming time; originally, he was, or became, easy in mind, and free from fear. (El-Munáwee, TA.) [See أَمْنٌ, below.] You say also, يَإْمَنُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ [He is secure, or safe, or free from fear, for himself]. (M.) And أَمِنَ البَلَدُ, meaning The inhabitants of the country or district, or town, were in a state of security, or confidence, therein. (Msb.) The verb is trans. by itself, and by means of the particle مِنْ; as in أَمَنَ زَيْدٌ الأَسَدَ and أَمِنَ مِنَ الأَسَدِ, meaning Zeyd was, or became, or felt, secure from, safe from, [or free from fear of,] the lion. (Msb.) You say also, أَمِنَ كَذِبَ مَنْ

أَخْبَرَهُ [He was secure from, or free from fear of, the lying of him who informed him]. (M.) And لَا آنَنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذلِكَ [I am not free from fear of its being so; I am not sure but that it may be so]. (Mgh in art. نبذ; and other lexicons passim.) And, of a strong-made she camel, أَمِنَتْ

أَنْ تَكُونَ ضَعَيفَةً [She was secure from, or free from fear of, being weak]: (M: [in a copy of the S أُمِنَتْ:]) and أَمِنَتِ العِثَارَ وَالإَعْيَآءٍ [ She was secure from, or free from fear of, stumbling, and becoming jaded]: (M:) and أُمِنَ عِثَارُهَا [Her stumbling was not feared]. (So in a copy of the S.) And, of a highly-prized camel, أُمِنَ أَنْ يُنْحَرَ [It was not feared that he would be slaughtered; or his being slaughtered was not feared]. (M.) [أَمنَهُ sometimes means He was, or became, free from fear, though having cause for fear, of him, or it. i. e. he thought himself secure, or safe, from him or it. (See Kur vii. 97.)] b2: أمِنَهُ (inf. n. أَمْنٌ TK) [and accord. to some copies of the K ↓ آمَنَهُ] and ↓ أمّنهُ (inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ K) and ↓ ائتمنهُ ([written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَمَنَهُ, and] also written اِتَّمَنَهُ, on the authority of Th, which is extr., like اِتَّهَلَ [&c.], M) and ↓ استأمنهُ all signify the same (M, K, TA) [He trusted, or confided, in him; (as also آمن بِهِ, q. v.;) he intrusted him with, or confided to him, power, authority, control, or a charge; he gave him charge over a thing or person: these meanings are vaguely indicated in the M and K and TA.]. You say, يَأْمَنُهُ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ غَائِلَتَهُ [Men, or people, trust, or confide, in him, and do not fear his malevolence, or mischievousness]. (T, M.) and أَمِنَهُ عَلَى كَذَا (S, Mgh, * Msb *) and ↓ ائتمنهُ عَلَيْهِ, (S, Msb, K,) [He trusted, or confided, in him with respect to such a thing; he intrusted him with, or confided to him, power, authority, control, or a charge, over it; he gave him charge over it;] he made him, or took him as, أَمِين over such a thing. (Mgh.) Hence, in a trad., the مُؤَذِّن is said to be مُؤْتَمَنٌ; i. e. النَّاسُ عَلَ الأَوْقَاتِ الَّتِى يُؤَذَّنُ فِيهَا ↓ يَأْتَمِنُهُ [Men trust, or confide, in him with respect to the times in which he calls to prayer], and know, by his calling to prayer, what they are commanded to do, as to praying and fasting and breaking fast. (Mgh.) It is said in the Kur [xii. 11], مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَنُنَا عَلَى يُوسُفَ and [تَأْمَنَّا] with idghám [i. e. What aileth thee that thou dost not trust, or confide, in us with respect to Joseph? or, that thou dost not give us charge over Joseph?]; (S;) meaning, why dost thou fear us for him? (Bd;) some pronouncing the verb in a manner between those of the former and the latter modes of writing it; but Akh says that the latter is better: (S:) some read تِيمَنَّا. (Bd.) You say also, ↓ اُوتُمِنَ فُلَانٌ [Such a one was trusted, or confided, in &c.;] when it begins a sentence, changing the second ء into و; in like manner as you change it into ى when the first is with kesr, as in اِيتَمَنَهُ; and into ا when the first is with fet-h, as in آمَنَ. (S.) The phrase أَمَانَةً ↓ اُوتُمِنَ, in a saying of Mohammad, if it be not correctly عَلَى أَمَانَةٍ, may be explained as implying the meaning of اُسْتُحْفِظَ أَمَانَةً [He was asked to take care of a deposite; or he was intrusted with it]. (Mgh.) [You also say, أَمِنَهُ بِكَذَا, meaning He intrusted him with such a thing; as, for instance, money or other property: see two exs. in the Kur iii. 68.]

A2: أَمُنَ, (M, Mgh, K,) or أَمِنَ, (Msb,) inf. n. أَمَانَةٌ, (M, Mgh, Msb,) He was, or became, trusted in, or confided in: (M, K:) or he was, or became, trusty, trustworthy, trustful, confidential, or faithful: said of a man. (Mgh.) 2 أمّنهُ, inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ: see 4: b2: and see also أَمِنَهُ.

A2: أمّن, inf. n. as above, also signifies He said آمِينَ or أَمِينَ, (T, S, Msb,) after finishing the Fátihah, (T,) or عَلَي الدُّعَآءِ on the occasion of the prayer, or supplication. (Msb.) 4 آمَنَ is originally أَأْمَنَ; the second ء being softened. (S.) You say, آمنهُ, [inf. n. إِيمَانٌ;] (S, M, Msb;) and ↓ أمّنهُ, [inf. n. تَأْمِينٌ;] (M, TA;) meaning He rendered him secure, or safe; (Msb;) he rendered him secure, or free from fear; (S, M, TA;) contr. of أَخَافهُ: (TA:) so in آمَنْتُهُ مِنْهُ I rendered him secure, or safe, from him, or it. (Msb.) And of God you say, آمَنَ عِبادَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَظْلِمَهُمْ [He hath rendered his servants secure from his wronging them]. (S.) And يُؤْمِنُ عِبَادَهُ مِنْ عَذَابِهِ [ He rendereth his servants secure from his punishment]. (M.) You say also, آمَنْتُ الأَسِيرَ, meaning I gave, or granted, الأَمَان [i. e. security or safety, or protection or safeguard, or the promise or assurance of security or safety, or indemnity, or quarter,] to the captive. (Msb.) And آمَنَ فُلَانٌ الَعَدُوَّ [Such a one granted security, &c., to the enemy], inf. n. as above. (T.) It is said in the Kur ch. ix. [verse 12], accord. to one reading, لَا إِيمَانَ لَهُمْ They have not the attribute of granting protection; meaning that when they grant protection, they do not fulfil their engagement to protect. (T.) A2: إِيمَانٌ also signifies The believing [a thing, or in a thing, and particularly in God]; syn. تَصْدِيقٌ; (T, S, &c.;) by common consent of the lexicologists and other men of science: (T:) its primary meaning is the becoming true to the trust with respect to which God has confided in one, by a firm believing with the heart; not by profession of belief with the tongue only, without the assent of the heart; for he who does not firmly believe with his heart is either a hypocrite or an ignorant person. (T, TA.) Its verb is intrans. and trans. (TA, from a Commentary on the Mutowwal.) You say, آمَنَ, meaning He believed. (T.) and it is said to be trans. by itself, like صَدَّقَ; and by means of بِ, considered as meaning اِعْتِرَافٌ [or acknowledgment]; and by means of لِ, considered as meaning إِذْعَانٌ [or submission]. (TA.) [Thus] you say, [آمنهُ and] آمن بِهِ, (inf. n. إِيمَانٌ, T, K,) namely, a thing. (T, M.) And آمن بِاللّٰهِ He believed in God. (T.) It seems to be meant by what is said in the Ksh [in ii. 2], that آمن بِهِ [or آمَنَهُ] properly signifies آمَنَهُ التَّكْذِيبَ [He rendered him secure from being charged with lying, or falsehood]; and that the meaning he believed him or in him, is tropical; but this is at variance with what its author says in the A; and Es-Saad says that this latter meaning is proper. (TA.) The phrase in the Kur [ix. 61], وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمؤْمِنِينَ, accord. to Th, means And he believeth the believers; giveth credit to them. (M.) b2: Sometimes it is employed to signify The acknowledging with the tongue only; and hence, in the Kur [lxiii. 3], ذلِكَ بأَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا That is because they acknowledged with the tongue, then disacknowledged with the heart. (TA.) b3: Also (assumed tropical:) The trusting, or confiding, or having trust or confidence. (M, K.) [You say, آمن بِهِ, meaning He trusted, or confided, in him, or it: for] the verb of ايمان in this sense is trans. by means of بِ without implication; as Bd says. (TA.) [And it is also trans. by itself: for] you say, مَا آمَنَ أَنْ يَجِدَ صَحَابَةً, meaning (tropical:) He trusted not that he would find companions; (M, * K, * TA;) said of one who has formed the intention of journeying: or the meaning is مَا كَادَ [i. e. he hardly, or scarcely, found &c.; or he was not near to finding &c.]. (M, K.) See also أَمِنَهُ. b4: Also The manifesting humility or submission, and the accepting the Law, (Zj, T, * K,) and that which the Prophet has said or done, and the firm believing thereof with the heart; (Zj, T, M;) without which firm belief, the manifesting of humility or submission, and the accepting that which the Prophet has said or done, is termed إِسْلَامٌ, for which one's blood is to be spared. (T.) [In this sense, it is trans. by means of لِ, accord. to some, as shown above; or by means of بِ, for, accord. to Fei,] you say, آمَنْتُ بِاللّٰهِ, inf. n. as above, meaning I submitted, or resigned, myself to God.

(El-Munáwee, TA.) You say, أَنْتَ فِى أَمْنٍ [Thou art in a state of security], (T, M,) مِنْ ذَاكَ [from that]; and ↓ فى أَمَانٍ signifies the same; (T;) and so ↓ فى آمِنٍ. (M.) And نُعَاسًا ↓ أَمَنَةً, in the Kur [iii. 148], means Security (أَمْنًا) [and slumber]. (S.) ↓ أَمَانٌ also signifies Protection, or safeguard: and [very frequently] a promise, or an assurance, of security or safety; indemnity; or quarter: in Pers\. پَنَاهْ and زِنْهَارٌ: (KL:) syn. إِلُّ. (K in art. ال.) Yousay, ↓ دَخَلَ فِى أَمَانِهِ [He entered within the pale of his protection, or safeguard]. (S, Msb.) [and اللّٰهِ ↓ كُنٌ فِى أَمَانِ Be thou in the protection, or safeguard, of God.] And ↓ أَعْطَيْتُهُ الأَمَانَ [I gave, or granted, to him security or safety, or protection or safeguard, or the promise or assurance of security or safety, or indemnity, or quarter]; namely, a captive.

[like لُعْنَةٌ and ضُحْكَةٌ and لُقْطَلةٌ &c. (see لَقَطٌ)]: (M:) or both signify one in whom every one trusts, or confides, in, or with respect to, everything. (K.) b2: See also أَمِينٌ.

أَمَانٌ: see أَمْنٌ, in seven places.

(TA.) Hence, أَلَمْ تَعْلَمِى يَا أَسْمَ وَيْحَكِ أَنَّنِى

حَلَفْتُ يَمِينًا لَا أَخُونُ أَمِينِى

[Knowest thou not, O Asmà (أَسْمَآء, curtailed for the sake of the metre), mercy on thee! or woe to thee! that I have sworn an oath that I will not act treacherously to him in whom I trust?] i. e. ↓ مَأْمُونِى: (S:) or the meaning here is, him who trusts, or confides, in me; (ISk, T;) [i. e.] it is here syn. with ↓ آمِنِى.

يَضْرِبُ بِالقِدَاحِ. (EM p. 105.) [Hence also,] الرُّوحُ الأَمِينُ [The Trusted, or Trusty, Spirit]; (Kur xxvi. 193;) applied to Gabriel, because he is intrusted with the revelation of God. (Bd.) ↓ أُمَّانٌ, mentioned above, and occurring in a verse of El-Aashà, applied to a merchant, is said by some to mean Possessed of religion and excellence. (M.) ↓ مُؤْتَمَنٌ is applied, in a trad., to the مُؤَذِّن, as meaning that men trust, or confide, in him with respect to the times in which he calls to prayer, and know by his call what they are commanded to do as to praying and fasting and breaking fast. (Mgh.) المُعَامَلَةِ ↓ هُوَ مَأْمُونُ means He is [trusty, or trustworthy, in dealing with others; or] free from exorbitance and deceit or artifice or craft to be feared. (Msb.) b2: An aid, or assistant; syn. عَوْنٌ [here app. meaning, as it often does, an armed attendant, or a guard]; because one trusts in his strength, and is without fear of his being weak. (M.) b3: (assumed tropical:) The strong; syn. قَوِىٌّ. (K, TA: [in the latter of which is given the same reason for this signification as is given in the M for that of عون; for which قوى may be a mistranscription; but see أَمُونٌ.]) b4: One who trusts, or confides, in another; (ISk, T, K;) [as also ↓ آمِنٌ, of which see an ex. voce حَذِرٌ;] so accord. to ISk in the verse cited above in this paragraph: (T:) thus it bears two contr. significations. (K.) b5: See also آمِنٌ, in five places.

A2: And see آمِينَ.

أَمَانَةٌ: see أَمْنٌ, first sentence. b2: Trustiness; trustworthiness; trustfulness; faithfulness; fidelity; (M, Mgh, K;) as also ↓ أَمَنَةٌ. (M, K.) أَمَانَةُ اللّٰهِ [for أَمَانَةُ اللّٰهِ قَسَمِي or مَا أُقْسِمُ The faithfulness of God is my oath or that by which I swear] is composed of an inf. n. prefixed to the agent, and the former is in the nom. case as an inchoative; the phrase being like لَعَمْرُ اللّٰهِ, as meaning an oath; and the enunciative being suppressed, and meant to be understood: accord. to some, you say, أَمَانَةَ اللّٰهِ [app. for نَشَدْتُكَ أَمَانَةَ اللّٰهِ I adjure thee, or conjure thee, by the faithfulness of God, or the like], making it to be governed in the accus. case by the verb which is to be understood: and some correctly say, وَأَمَانَةِ اللّٰهِ [By the faithfulness of God], with the و which denotes an oath: (Mgh:) or this last is an oath accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh; but Esh-Sháfi'ee does not reckon it as such: and it is forbidden in a trad. to swear by الأَمَانَة; app. because it is not one of the names of God. (TA.) [Or these phrases may have been used, in the manner of an oath, agreeably with explanations here following.]

A2: A thing committed to the trust and care of a person; a trust; a deposite; (Mgh, Msb;) and the like: (Msb:) property committed to trust and care: (TA:) pl. أَمَانَاتٌ. (Mgh, Msb.) It is said in the Kur [viii. 27], وَتَخُونُوا أَمَانَاتِكُمْ [Nor be ye unfaithful to the trusts committed to you]. (Mgh.) And in the same [xxxiii. 72], إِنَّا عَرَضْنَاالأَمَانَةَ عَلَى

السّموَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِوَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ [Verily we proposed, or offered, the trust which we have committed to man to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and (accord. to explanations of Bd and others) they refused to take it upon themselves, or to accept it, and they feared it, but man took it upon himself, or accepted it: or, (accord. to another explanation of Bd, also given in the T, and in the K in art. حمل, &c.,) they refused to be unfaithful to it, and they feared it, but man was unfaithful to it: but in explaining what this trust was, authors greatly differ: accord. to some,] الامانة here means obedience; so called because the rendering thereof is incumbent: or the obedience which includes that which is natural and that which depends upon the will: [for] it is said that when God created these [celestial and terrestrial] bodies, He created in them understanding: or it may here [and in some other instances] mean reason, or intellect: [and the faculty of volition: and app. conscience: these being trusts committed to us by God, to be faithfully employed: (see an ex. voce جَذْرٌ:)] and the imposition of a task or duty or of tasks or duties [app. combined with reason or intellect, which is necessary for the performance thereof]: (Bd:) or it here means prayers and other duties for the performance of which there is recompense and for the neglect of which there is punishment: (Jel:) or, accord. to I'Ab and Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr, (T,) the obligatory statutes which God has imposed upon his servants: (T, K: *) or, (T, K,) accord. to Ibn-'Omar, [the choice between] obedience and disobedience was offered to Adam, and he was informed of the recompense of obedience and the punishment of disobedience: but, in my opinion, he says, (T,) it here means the intention which one holds in the heart, (T, K,) with respect to the belief which he professes with the tongue, and with respect to all the obligatory statutes which he externally fulfils; (K;) because God has confided to him power over it, and not manifested it to any [other] of his creatures, so that he who conceives in his mind, with respect to the acknowledgment of the unity of God, (T, K,) and with respect to belief [in general], (T,) the like of that which he professes, he fulfils the امانة [or trust], (T, K,) and he who conceives in his mind disbelief while he professes belief with the tongue is unfaithful thereto, and every one who is unfaithful to that which is confided to him is [termed] حَامِلٌ, (T,) or حَامِلُ الأَمَانَةِ, and مُحْتَمِلُهَا: (Bd:) and by الإِنْسَانُ is here meant the doubting disbeliever. (T.) b2: Also, [as being a trust committed to him by God, A man's] family, or household; syn. أَهْلٌ. (TA.) أُمَّانٌ: see أَمينٌ, in two places.

A2: Also One who does not write; as though he were (كَأَنَّهُ [in the CK لاَنَّهُ because he is]) an أُمِّى. (K, TA.) [But this belongs to art. ام; being of the measure فُعْلَانٌ, like عُرْيَانٌ.] b2: And A sower, or cultivator of land; [perhaps meaning a clown, or boor;] syn. زَرَّاعٌ: (CK:) or sowers, or cultivators of land; syn. زُرَّاعٌ: (K, TA:) in one copy of the K زِرَاع. (TA.) آمِنٌ Secure, safe, or free from fear; as also ↓ أَمِينٌ (Lh, T, * S, * M, Msb, K) and ↓ أَمِنٌ. (M, K.) Hence, in the Kur [xcv. 3], ↓ وَهذَا الْبَلَدِ الْأَمِينِ [And this secure town]; (Akh, Lh, T, S, M;) meaning Mekkeh. (M.) بَلَدٌ آمِنٌ and ↓ أَمِينٌ means A town, or country, or district, of which the inhabitants are in a state of security, or confidence, therein. (Msb.) It is also said in the Kur [xliv. 51], ↓ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ, meaning [Verily the pious shall be in an abode] wherein they shall be secure from the accidents, or casualties, of fortune. (M.) [And hence,] ↓ الأَمِينُ is one of the epithets applied to God, (Mgh, K,) on the authority of El-Hasan; (Mgh;) an assertion requiring consideration: it may mean He who is secure with respect to the accidents, or casualties, of fortune: but see المُؤْمِنُ, which is [well known as] an epithet applied to God. (TA.) آمِنُ المَالِ means What is secure from being slaughtered, of the camels, because of its being highly prized; by المال being meant الإِبِل: or, as some say, (tropical:) what is highly esteemed, of property of any kind; as though, if it had intellect, it would feel secure from being exchanged. (M.) You say, أَعْطَيْتُهُ مِنْ آمِنِ مَالِي, (K, TA, [in the CK آمَنِ,]) meaning (tropical:) I gave him of the choice, or best, of my property; of what was highly esteemed thereof; (K, TA;) and مَالِى ↓ مِنْ أَمْنِ which Az explains as meaning of the choice, or best, of my property. (TA: [in which is given a verse cited by ISk showing that أَمْن, thus used, is not a mistranscription for آمِن.]) And آمِنُ الحِلْمِ means Steadfast in forbearance or clemency; of whose becoming disordered in temper, and free from self-restraint, there is no fear. (M.) b2: See also أَمِينٌ, in three places: b3: and see اَمِنٌ.

A2: See also أَمِينٌ, in two places.

آمِينَ [in the CK, erroneously, آمِينُ] and ↓ أَمِينَ; (Th, T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K;) both chaste and well known, (TA,) the latter of the dial. of El-Hijáz, (Msb, TA,) as some say, (TA,) [and this, though the less common, is the original form, for] the medd in the former is only to give fulness of sound to the fet-hah of the أ, (Th, M, Msb, TA,) as is shown by the fact that there is no word in the Arabic language of the measure فَاعِيلٌ; (Msb, TA;) and some pronounce the former آمِّينَ, (K,) which is said by some of the learned to be a dial. var., (Msb,) but this is a mistake, (S, Msb,) accord. to authorities of good repute, and is one of old date, originating from an assertion of Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà, [i. e. Th,] that آمِينَ is like عَاصِينَ, by which he was falsely supposed to mean its having the form of a pl., [and being consequently آمِّينَ,] (Msb, [and part of this is said in the M,]) whereas he thereby only meant that the م is without teshdeed, like the ص in عَاصِينَ; (M;) beside that the sense of قَاصِدِينَ [which is that of آمِّينَ, from أَمَّ,] would be inconsistent after the last phrase of the first chapter of the Kur [where آمينَ is usually added]; (Msb;) and sometimes it is pronounced with imáleh, [i. e. “émeena,”] as is said by ElWáhidee in the Beseet; (K;) but this is unknown in works on lexicology, and is said to be a mispronunciation of some of the Arabs of the desert of El-Yemen: (MF:) each form is indecl., (S,) with fet-h for its termination, like أَيْنَ and كَيْفَ, to prevent the occurrence of two quiescent letters together: (T, S, TA:) it is a word used immediately after a prayer, or supplication: (S, * M:) [it is best expressed, when occurring in a translation, by the familiar Hebrew equivalent Amen:] El-Fárisee says that it is a compound of a verb and a noun; (M;) meaning answer Thou me; [i. e. answer Thou my prayer;] (M, Mgh;*) or O God, answer Thou: (Zj, T, Msb, K:) or so be it: (AHát, S, Msb, K:) or so do Thou, (K, TA,) O Lord: (TA:) it is strangely asserted by some of the learned, that, after the Fátihah, [or Opening Chapter of the Kur-án,] it is a prayer which implies all that is prayed for in detail in the Fátihah: so in the Towsheeh: (MF:) or it is one of the names of God: (M, Msb, K:) so says El-Hasan (M, Msb) El-Basree: (Msb:) but the assertion that it is for يَا اَللّٰهُ [O God], and that اسْتَجِبٌ [answer Thou] is meant to be understood, is not correct accord. to the lexicologists; for, were it so, it would be with refa, not nasb. (T.) إِيمَانٌ [inf. n. of 4, q. v. b2: Used as a simple subst., Belief; particularly in God, and in his word and apostles &c.: faith: trust, or confidence: &c.] b3: Sometimes it means Prayer; syn. صَلَاةٌ: as in the Kur [ii. 138], where it is said, وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيَمانَكُمْ, (Bd, Jel, TA,) i. e. [God will not make to be lost] your prayer towards Jerusalem, (Bd, * Jel,) as some explain it. (Bd.) b4: Sometimes, also, it is used as meaning The law brought by the Prophet. (Er-Rághib, TA.) مَأْمَنٌ A place of security or safety or freedom from fear; or where one feels secure. (M, TA.) مُؤْمَنٌ pass. part. n. of آمَنَهُ. (T.) It is said in the Kur [iv. 96], accord. to one reading, (T, M,) that of Aboo-Jaafar El-Medenee, (T,) لَسْتَ مُؤْمَنًا [Thou art not granted security, or safety, &c.; or] we will not grant thee security, &c. (T, M.) مُؤْمِنٌ [act. part. n. of 4; Rendering secure, &c.]. المُؤْمِنُ is an epithet applied to God; meaning He who rendereth mankind secure from his wronging them: (T, S:) or He who rendereth his servants secure from his punishment: (M, IAth:) i. q. المُهَيْمِنُ, (M,) which is originally المُؤَأْمِنُ; [for the form مُفْعِلٌ is originally مُؤَفْعِلٌ;] the second ء being softened, and changed into ى, and the first being changed into ه: (S:) or the Believer of his servants (Th, M, TA) the Muslims, on the day of resurrection, when the nations shall be interrogated respecting the messages of their apostles: (TA:) or He who will faithfully perform to his servants what He hath promised them: (T, TA:) or He who hath declared in his word the truth of his unity. (T.) b2: [Also Believing, or a believer; particularly in God, and in his word and apostles &c.: faithful: trusting, or confiding: &c.: see 4.]

مَأْمُونٌ: see أَمِينٌ, in three places. b2: مَأْمُونَةٌ A woman whose like is sought after and eagerly retained because of her valuable qualities. (M.) مَأْمُونِيَّةٌ A certain kind of food; so called in relation to El-Ma-moon. (TA.) مُؤْتَمَنٌ: see أَمِينٌ, in two places.
