1 أَلِفَهُ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِلُفٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and أَلْفٌ (K) and إِلَافٌ and وِلَافٌ, which is anomalous, and أَلَفَانٌ, (M, TA,) He kept, or clave, to it; (A'Obeyd, T, M, Msb, * TA;) namely, a thing, (A'Obeyd, T, M, TA,) or a place; (S, Msb, TA;) as also أَلَفَهُ, aor. ـِ (TA;) and ↓ آلفهُ, (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, Msb,) aor. ـْ (S, TA,) inf. n. إِيلَافٌ; (S, Msb, TA;) and ↓ آلفهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. مُؤَالَفَةٌ and إِلَافٌ: (S, Msb, TA:) [he frequented it, or resorted to it habitually; namely, a place:] he became familiar with it; or accustomed, or habituated, to it; namely, a thing: (Az, T:) he became familiar, sociable, companionable, friendly, or amicable, with him: (Az, T, Msb:) he loved, or affected, him; liked, approved, or took pleasure in, him. (Msb.) You say, أَلِفَتِ الطَّيْرُ الحَرَمَ [The birds kept to the sacred territory], and البُيُوتَ [the houses]: and الظِّبَآءُ الرَّمْلِ ↓ آلَفَتِ The gazelles kept to the sands. (T.) b2: There are three manners of reading the passage in the Kur [evi. 1 and 2], CCC قُرَيْشٍ إِيلَافِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَآءِ وَ الــصَّيْفِ ↓ لِإِيلَافِ; the second and third being لِإِلَافِ and لِإِلْفِ; the first and second of which have been adopted; (Aboo-Is-hák, T, TA;) and the third also; this being the reading of the Prophet [himself]: (TA:) [accord. to all these readings, the passage may be rendered, For the keeping of Kureysh, for their keeping to the journey of the winter and of the summer, or spring; the chapter going on to say, for this reason "let them worship the Lord of this House," &c. : or] the second and third readings are from أَلِفَ, aor. ـْ [and accord. to these readings, the passage may be rendered as above;] but accord. to the first reading, the meaning is, for the preparing and fitting out [&c.; i. e., preparing and fitting out men and beasts in the journey of the winter &c.]: so says IAmb; and Fr explains in the same manner the third reading: but IAar says that, accord. to this reading, the meaning is, the protecting [&c.]: he says that the persons who protected were four brothers, Háshim and 'Abd-Shems and El-Muttalib and Nowfal, the sons of 'Abd-Menáf: these gave protection to Kureysh in their procuring of corn: (T:) Háshim obtained a grant of security from the king of the Greeks, and Nowfal from Kisrà, and 'Abd-Shems from the Nejáshee, and ElMuttalib from the kings of Himyer; and the merchants of Kureysh used to go to and from the great towns of these kings with the grants of security of these brothers, and none opposed them: Háshim used to give protection (يُؤْلِفُ [in the copies of the K يُؤَلِّفُ]) [to those journeying] to Syria, and 'Abd-Shems to Abyssinia, and ElMuttalib to El-Yemen, and Nowfal to Persia: (T, K: *) or ↓ إِيلَاف in the Kur signifies a covenant, or an obligation; and what resembles permission, (إِجَازَة, as in some copies of the K and in the TA,) or protection, (إِجَارَة, as in the CK,) with an obligation involving responsibility for safety; first obtained by Háshim, from the kings of Syria; (K, * TA;) and the explanation is, that Kureysh were dwelling in the sacred territory, (K,) having neither seed-produce nor udders [to yield them milk], (TA,) secure in the procuring of their provisions from other parts, and in their changes of place, in winter and summer, or spring; the people around them having their property seized; whereas, when any cause of mischief occurred to them, they said, "We are people of the sacred territory," and then no one opposed them: (K:) so in the O: (TA:) or the ل is to denote wonder; and the meaning is, wonder ye at the ايلاف of Kureysh [&c.]: (K:) some say that the meaning is connected with what follows; i. e., let them worship the Lord of this House for the ايلاف [&c., agreeably with the first explanation which we have given]: others, that it is connected with what precedes; as J says; (TA;) the meaning being, I have destroyed the masters of the elephant to make Kureysh remain at Mekkeh, and for their uniting the journey of the winter and of the summer, or spring; that when they finished one, they should commence the other; (T, S;) and this is like the saying, ضَرَبْتُهُ لِكَذَا ضَرَبْتُهُ لِكَذَا لِكَذَا, with suppression of the [conjunctive] و: (S:) but Ibn-'Arafeh disapproves of this, for two reasons: first, because the phrase "In the name of God" &c. occurs between the two chapters: [Bd, however, mentions that in Ubeí's copy, the two compose one chapter:] secondly, because ايلاف signifies the covenants, or obligations, which they obtained when they went forth on mercantile expeditions, and whereby they became secure. (TA.) ↓ إِلَافٌ [in like manner] signifies A writing of security, written by the king for people, that they may be secure in his territory: and is used by Musáwir Ibn-Hind in the sense of اِيتِلَافٌ [as is also إِلْفٌ,] when he says, in satirizing Benoo-Asad, زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّ إِخْوَتَكُمْ قُرَيْشٌ لَهُمْ إِلْفٌ وَ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ إِلَافُ meaning Ye asserted [that your brothers are Kureysh; i. e.,] that ye are like Kureysh: but how should ye be like them? for they have [an alliance whereby they are protected in] the trade of El-Yemen and Syria; and ye have not that [alliance]. (Ham p. 636.) [Hence,] إِلَافُ اللّٰهِ [a phrase used in the manner of an oath,] accord. to some, signifies The safeguard, or protection, of God: or, accord. to others, an honourable station from God. (TA.) A2: أَلَفَهُ, aor. ـِ He gave him a thousand; (S, K) of articles of property, and of camels. (TA.) 2 الّف بَيْنَهُمْ, inf. n. تَأْلِيفٌ, (T, Msb, K,) He united them, or brought them together, (T, Msb, TA,) after separation; (T, TA;) and made them to love one another; (Msb;) he caused union, or companionship, (أُلْفَة,) to take place between them. (K.) And أَلَّفْتُ بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ, inf. n. as above, [I united, or put together, the two things.] (S.) and ألّف الشَّىْءَ He united, or connected, (T,) or gathered or collected or brought together, (M,) the several parts of the thing. (T, M.) b2: Hence, تَأْلِيفُ الكُتُبِ [The composition of books]. (T, TA.) b3: تَأْلِيفٌ is The putting many things into such a state that one name becomes applicable to them, whether there be to some of the parts a relation to others by precedence and sequence, or not: so that it is a more general term than تَرْتِيبٌ: (KT:) or the collecting together, or putting together, suitable things; from الالفة [i. e. الأُلْفَةُ]; and is a more particular term than تَرْكِيبٌ, which is the putting together things, whether suitable or not, or placed in order or not. (Kull p. 118.) A2: أَلَّفُوا إِلَى كَذَا: see 5.

(M, TA.) A3: شَاَرَةٌ مُؤَالَفَةً He made a condition with him for a thousand: (IAar, M:) like as one says, شَارَطْتُهُ مُمَا آةً, meaning, for a hundred. (IAar, M, K, in art. مأى.) 4 آلفهُ, inf. n. إِيلَافٌ: see 1, in three places.

(T, S, * M, K. *) b2: آلَفْتُ الشَّىْءَ I joined, conjoined or united, the thing. (T.) A3: آلَفْتُ القَوْمَ, (T, * S, K, *) inf. n. as above, (S,) I made the people, or company of men, to be a thousand complete [by adding to them myself]; (T, S, K, TA;) they being before nine hundred and ninety-nine. (T, TA.) And آلف العَدَدَ He made the number to be a thousand; as also ↓ أَلَّفَهُ: (M:) or الأَلْفَ ↓ ألّف he completed the thousand. (K.) And in like manner, (S,) آلَفْتُ الدَّرَاهِمَ I made the dirhems to be a thousand (S, K) complete. (S.) And لَهُمُ الأَعْمَارَ ↓ أَلَّفُو They said to them, May you live a thousand years. (A in art. عمر.) A4: آلَفُوا They became a thousand (T, S, M) complete. (S.) And آلَفَتِ الدَّارَهِمُ The dirhems became a thousand (S K) complete. (S.) 5 تألّف القَوْمُ, (Msb, K,) and ↓ ائْتَلَفُوا [written with the disjunctive alif اِيْتَلَفُوا], (T, K,) The people, or party, became united, or came together, (Msb, K,) [after separation, (see 2, of which each is said in the TA to be quasi-pass.,)] and loved one another: (Msb:) or the meaning of ↓ ائْتِلَافٌ [and تَأَلُّفٌ also] is the being in a state of union, alliance, agreement, congruity, or congregation: (Msb:) and the being familiar, sociable, companionable, friendly, or amicable, one with another. (TA.) And تَأَلَّفَا is said of two things; [meaning They became united, or put together; (see 2;)] as also ↓ ائتلفا. (S.) And الشَّىْءُ ↓ ائتلف signifies The several parts of the thing kept, or clave, together. (M.) And تألّف It became put together in order. (M.) b2: تألّفوا They sought, desired, or asked, [a covenant to ensure them] protection, (IAar, T, M,) إِلَى كَذَا [meaning in a journey for the purpose of trade, or traffic, to such a place, as is shown in the T by an explanation of the words of IAar, كَانَ هَاشِمٌ يُؤْلِفُ إِلَى الشَّامِ, in a passage in which the foregoing signification is assigned to تألّفوا]; (M;) as also الى كذا ↓ أَلَّفُوا.

(S.) 8 إِاْتَلَفَ see 5, in four places.

أَلْفٌ, meaning A certain number, (S, M, K,) well known, (M,) i. e. a certain round number, (Msb,) [namely a thousand,] is of the masc. gender: (T, S, Msb, K:) you say ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ

[Three thousand], not ثَلَاثَ آلَافٍ; (TA;) and هٰذَا أَلْفٌ وَاحِدٌ [This is one thousand], not وَاحِدَةٌ; (S;) and أَلْفٌ أَقْرَعُ, [A complete thousand], (T, S,) not قَرْعَآءُ: (S:) it is not allowable to make it fem.: so say IAmb and others: (Msb:) or it is allowable to make it fem. as being a pl.: (T:) or, accord. to ISK, it is allowable to say, هٰذِهِ أَلْفٌ as meaning هٰذِهِ الدَّرَاهِمُ أَلْفٌ [These dirhems are a thousand]; (S, K; *) and Fr and Zj say the like: (Msb:) the pl. is آلُفٌ, applied to three, (M,) and آلَافٌ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) applied to a number from three to ten, inclusively, (TA,) and أُلُوفٌ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) used to denote more than ten; (T;) and الأَافُ [in the TA الأَلَفُ] is used by poetic licence for الآلَافُ, by suppression of the [radical] ل (M.) إِلْفٌ [originally an inf. n. of أَلِفَهُ, q. v.,] He with whom one is familiar, sociable, companionable, friendly, or amicable; he to whom one keeps or cleaves; [a constant companion or associate; a mate; a fellow; a yoke-fellow; one who is familiar, &c., with another or others; (see مُؤَلَّفٌ;)] (M;) i. q. ↓ أَلِيفٌ; (T, S, M, K;) which is an act. part. n. of أَلِفَهُ; (Msb;) as is also ↓ آلِفٌ; (Msb, K;) and ↓ أَلِفٌ also is syn. with أَلِيفٌ: (K:) the female is termed إِلْفَةٌ and إِلْفٌ; (M;) both of these signifying a woman with whom thou art familiar, &c., and who is familiar, &c., with thee: (K:) and the fem. of ↓ آلِفٌ is آلِفَةٌ: (K:) the pl. of إِلْفٌ is آلَافٌ; (T, M;) which is also pl. of ↓ أَلِفٌ: (TA:) and that of ↓ أَلِيفٌ is أَلَائِفُ (S, K, TA) and أُلَفَآءُ: (M, TA:) and that of ↓ آلِفٌ is أُلَّافٌ (T, S, Msb, K) and آلَافٌ, like as أَنْصَارٌ is pl. of نَاصِرٌ, (TA,) and so, (M, TA,) in my opinion, [says ISd,] (M,) is أُلُوفٌ, like as شُهُودٌ is pl. of شَاهِدٌ, (M, TA,) though some say that it is pl. of إِلْفٌ: (M:) and the pl. of ↓ آلِفَةٌ is أَوَالِفُ and آلِفَاتٌ.

(TA.) One says, عَرَفْتُ مَا يُغْزَى مِنْ هٰذَا الكَلَامِ i. e. [I knew, or, emphatically, I know,] what is willed or desired (مَا يُرَادُ) [from this speech]. (S.) And غَزْوِى

كَذَا My aim, or intention, or meaning, is such a thing. (K.) b2: [Hence, app.,] غَزَا العَدُوَّ, inf. n. غَزْوٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and غَزَوَانٌ, (K, TA,) or, as some say, غَزْوَانٌ, mentioned by Sb, (TA,) and غَزَاوَةٌ, (K,) [but see what is said of this last at the close of this paragraph,] He went forth, (Er-Rághib, TA,) or repaired, or betook himself, (Mgh,) to wage war, (Er-Rághib, TA,) or to fight, (Mgh,) with the enemy; (Er-Rághib, Mgh, TA;) or he went to fight with, and plunder, the enemy; (K, TA;) in the country of the latter. (Msb.)

(TA.) A2: غَزَاوَةٌ, mentioned above, is of a measure which in most instances is that of an inf. n. of an intrans. verb, and it seems to be an inf. n. of which the verb is غَزُوَ, meaning جَادَ غَزْوُهُ [i. e. Excellent, or how excellent, is his engaging in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, or in such expeditions!]; and to be similar to قَضُوَ meaning جَادَ قَضَآءُهُ, and ضَرُبَتْ يَدُهُ meaning جَادَ ضَرْبُهَا.

(K.) A2: أَغْزَتْ, said of a woman, (Mgh, K,) Her husband was absent [engaged in a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition, in the country of the enemy]; (Mgh;) or her husband went [or had gone] to fight with, and plunder, the enemy.

(S, K.) 8 اغتِزاهُ: see 1, first sentence.

A2: اغتزى بِفُلَانٍ He had such a one peculiarly to himself from among his companions: (K, TA:) like اِغْتَزَّ بِهِ. (TA.) A poet says, قَدْ يَغْتَزِى الهِجْرَانُ بِالتَّجَرُّمِ [Sometimes, or often, the cutting off from friendly intercourse has the accusation of that which is a crime, or a fault, or an offence, peculiarly assigned to it (as the cause)]: التجرّم here meaning اِدِّعَآءُ الجُرْمِ. (TA.) غَزَاةٌ: see the next paragraph, in three places.

غَزْوَةٌ The act of [الغَزْو i. e.] repairing to fight with [or to fight with and plunder] the enemy [in the country of the latter]; as also ↓ غَزَاةٌ, and ↓ مَغْزَاةٌ: (Mgh:) or the first signifies a single time [or act] of الغَزْو [i. e. a single warring, or warring and plundering, expedition]; (Th, Msb, TA;) as also ↓ مَغْزَاةٌ: (Msb:) and ↓ غَزَاةٌ is the subst. from غَزَوْتُ العَدُوَّ [as such meaning as expl. above, i. e. the act of الغَزْو]: (S, TA:) or this signifies [a campaign, i. e.] the work [or operations] of a year: (Th, TA:) the pl. (of غَزْوَةٌ, Msb, [and of ↓ غَزَاةٌ, for this is originally غَزَوَةٌ,]) is غَزَوَاتٌ, and (of ↓ مَغْزَاةٌ, Msb) مَغَازٍ, (Mgh, Msb,) which latter pl. is applied to the غَزَوَات of Mohammad.
