(S, K.) b2: فَوَضَأَهُ ↓ وَاضَأَهُ, (S, K,) aor. of the latter يَضَأُ, (S,) dev. from rule, by which, as a verb of the class called افعال المغالبة, it should be like يَنْصُرُ, (TA,) He vied with him for the honour of surpassing in fairness, or comeliness, and prevailed over him therein. (S, K.) 2 وضّأهُ [He made him, or assisted him, to perform the ablution termed وُــضُوْءً, or وَــضُوْء. (M, TA.) [See an ex. voce قِسْطٌ.]3 وَاْضَاَ see 1.5 توضّأ, (S, K,) inf. n., [or rather quasi-inf. n., used for the regular inf. n. تَوَضُّؤٌ,] وُــضُوْءٌ, or وَــضُوْءٌ, or both, [see these two nouns below,] from وَضَآءَةٌ, (lit., He made himself fair, beautiful, neat, or clean: TA:) He performed ablution, لِلْصَّلَاةِ for, or preparatory to, prayer. (S, K.) b2: It sometimes signifies He washed some one or more of his members: he purified his hand, or hands, and mouth, by washing, from the foul smell of fat, or greasy, food: he washed his hand. b3: Some say تَوَضَّيْتُ [for تَوَضَّأْتُ]; but this should not be said: (S:) it is of weak authority, or is viciously so pronounced: (K:) it is said to be of the dial, of Hudheyl. (TA.) b4: توضّأ, and توضّأت, He (a youth), and she (a girl), arrived at the age of puberty. (K.) إِضَاءٌ: see وَضِىْءٌ.

وَــضُوْءٌ: see وُــضُوْءٌ.

وُــضُوْءٌ signifies The act of ablution, &c. (S, K) (see 5); and ↓ وَــضُوْءٌ, the water with which that act is performed, or the water that is prepared for that act, (S, K, TA,) and is said to be also an inf. n., [or rather a quasi-inf. n., signifying the act itself]: (S, K:) or they are syn. words of two different dialects, each sometimes used as an inf. n., signifying the act, (though inf. ns. of the measure فَعُولٌ deviate from constant rule, TA,) and each sometimes as signifying the water. (S, K, TA.) AA says, that ↓ وَــضُوْءٌ signifies “ the water with which one performs the ablution above mentioned; ” and he knew not وُــضُوْءٌ [though it occurs in many traditions]: and A 'Obeyd disallows وَــضُوْءٌ, and allows only ↓ وَــضُوْءٌ. (TA.) وَضِىْءٌ, (S, K,) pl. أَوْضِيَآءُ and وِضَآءٌ; (K;) and ↓ وُضَّآءٌ, [S, K; in the CK, erroneously, وُضَّآءٍ;] pl. وُضَّاؤُونَ and وَضَاضِئُ; (K;) and ↓ وَاضِئٌ, (K,) which is used in the future sense, accord. to Lh, [like an act. part. n., though from a neut. verb,] as in the ex. [mentioned in the K] مَاهو بِوَاضِئٍ; وَضِىْءٌ being used in the present sense; (TA;) Fair, beautiful, neat, or clean. (S, K.) b2: In the following of En-Nábighah, فَهُنَّ إِضَآءٌ صَافِيَاتُ الغَلَائِلِ [And they are fair, beautiful, neat, or clean; unsullied as to their inner garments], ↓ إِضَآءٌ may be put for وِضَآءٌ.

ضو

أ1 ضَوڤاَ see 4, in two places.2 ضَوَّاَ see the next paragraph, in two places. b2: One says also, ضَوَّأْتُ عَنْهُ [meaning I brought to light, made visible, discovered, or revealed, him, or it]. (M, TA.) A sheep, or goat, belonging to an Arab of the desert strayed; whereupon he said, اَللّٰهُمَّ ضَوِّئْ عَنْهُ [O God, bring it to light, or discover it]. (A, TA.) A2: Accord. to Lth, but he is the only authority for it known by AM, (TA,) ضَوَّأَ عَنِ الأَمْرِ, inf. n. تَضْوِئَةٌ, means He declined, or turned away, from the affair. (K, TA.) 4 اضآء, (M, Msb, K,) said of a thing, (M,) [as, for instance,] of the moon, (Msb,) or اضآءت, said of fire (النَّار,), (A 'Obeyd, S, O,) inf. n. إِضَآءٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ ضَآءَ, (M, Msb, K,) or ضَآءَت, (S, O,) aor. ـُ (M,) or ـُ (S,) inf. n. ضَوْءٌ (S, M, O, Msb, K) and ضُوْءٌ, (S, O, K,) or the latter is a simple subst.; (Msb;) but the former verb is preferred; (TA;) It gave light, was light or bright, shone, or shone brightly. (Msb, K, * TA.) [See also an ex. of ↓ the latter verb in a verse cited voce أُفُقٌ; and cited here in the TA.] and أَضَأْتُ لَهُ [I gave light to him]. (M.) A2: The former verb is also trans.: you say, أَضَآءَتْهُ النَّارُ [The fire made it to be light or bright, to shine, or to shine brightly]: (S, O:) and أَضَأْتُهُ and ↓ ضَوَّأْتُهُ [I made it to give light, to be light or bright, to shine, or to shine brightly]: (M, Msb, * K:) and أَضَأْتُ بِهِ البَيْتَ and بِهِ ↓ ضَوَّأْتُهُ [I lighted, or illumined, with it (i. e. with a lamp or the like) the house, or chamber, or tent]. (M.) b2: [Hence,] اضآء بِبَوْلِهِ (tropical:) He ejected his urine [so as to make its drops to glisten]; or emitted it and then stopped it; syn. حَذَفَ بِهِ; (K, TA;) or خَذَفَ بِهِ; (so in a copy of the M, as on the authority of Kr;) or, as in the A, أَذْرَعَ بِهِ. (TA.) b3: and they said مَا أَضْوَأَهُ [How light, or bright, is it!]. (S voce أَظْلَمَ [q. v.].) b4: And اضآء signifies also أَصَابَ ضَوْءًــا [He saw (lit. lighted on, or found,) light, or brightness]. (T voce أَظْلَمَ [q. v.]) 5 تضوّأ He stood in the dark to see people by the light of their fire, (Az, K, TA,) without their seeing him. (Az, TA.) And تضوّا امْرَأَةً [He stood in the dark to see a woman by the light of her fire, without her seeing him]. (TA.) 10 اِسْتَضَأُتُ بِهِ [I sought to obtain light by means of it; I made use of it for light]. (M, K.) لَا تَسْتَضِيؤُوا بِنَارِ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ [lit. Seek not ye to obtain light by means of the fire of the people of belief in a plurality of gods], (O, K,) a saying of the Prophet, (O,) means (tropical:) seek not ye counsel, or advice, of the believers in a plurality of gods, in affairs: (O, K:) because he whose affair is confused and dubious to him is as though he were in darkness. (O.) ضَوْءٌ and ↓ ضُوْءٌ and ↓ ضِيَآءٌ (S, M, O, K) and ↓ ضِوَآءٌ, (M, K,) the last of which is [erroneously] written in the L ضَوَآءٌ, (TA,) signify the same, (S, M, O, K,) i. e. Light, syn. نُورٌ, (K, TA,) accord. to the leading lexicologists; but see what follows: (TA:) and ضَوْءٌ is an inf. n. of ضَآءَ, (S, M, O, Msb, K,) and so is ↓ ضُوْءٌ, (S, O, K,) or this is a simple subst. from ضَآءَ, and so is ↓ ضِيَآءٌ, which is also, sometimes, written ↓ ضِئَآءٌ, from أَضَآءَ as syn. with ضَآءَ: (Msb:) the pl. of ضَوْءٌ (M, TA) and ↓ ضُوْءٌ (M) is أَضْوَآءٌ; and ↓ ضِيَآءٌ is sometimes a pl., (M, TA,) as Zj states it to be: (TA:) some say that ضَوْءٌ has a more intensive signification than نُورٌ, and that hence God has likened his direction [the Kur-án] to النُّور rather than to الــضَّوْء; because if it were otherwise, no one had erred: and that hence, also, [in the Kur x. 5,] the sun is termed ↓ ضِيَآء; and the moon, نُورٌ: it is also said that ضَوْءٌ signifies the rays that are diffused by what is termed نُورٌ: the kádee Zekereeyà affirms that these two words are syn. by their original application, but that ضَوْءٌ is more forcible accord. to usage: and some say that الــضَّوْءُ signifies that [light] which subsists by itself, as [that of] the sun, and fire; and النُّورُ, to that which subsists by some other thing [as does the light of the moon]. (MF, TA.) ضُوْءٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.
