عرض
1 عَرُــضَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. عِرَــضٌ, [instead of which, as a simple
subst.,
عَرْــضٌ is generally used,] and
عَرَــاضَةٌ, It was, or became, broad, or wide; (
S,
O, *
Msb,
K,
TA;) as also ↓ ا
عرض, (
A,
TA,) which occurs in this sense in two exs. following. (
TA.) [And in like manner, ↓ استـ
ـعرض It grew, or spread, wide; said of a tree; opposed to طَالَ; occurring in the
TA in art. بهل.] It is said in a
prov., القِرْفَةُ ↓ أَـ
ـعْرَــضَتِ (
S,
O, *
TA [but in two copies of the
S, I find the verb in this instance written ا
عرضتُ, and in the O ا
عرضتَ, and I do not know that the reading in the
TA, which seems to be the common one, is found in any copy of the
S,]) Suspicion became, or has become, wide;
syn. اِتَّسَعَت: (
TA:) used when it is said to a man, “ Whom dost thou suspect ? ” and he answers, “ The sons of such a one,” referring to the whole tribe. (
S,
O,
TA.) [See Freytag's Arab.
Prov. ii. 112, where another reading is mentioned, which, by what he says, is shown to be أَـ
ـعْرَــضْتَ القِرْفَةَ Thou hast made suspicion wide.] In another
prov. it is said, ثَوْبُ المَلْبَسِ ↓ أَـ
ـعْرَــضَ (
IAar,
A,
TA, and
K in art. لبس,) and المِلْبَسِ and المُلْبِسِ (
IAar, and
K in art. لبس,) and المُلْتَبِسِ (
TA in art. لبس) i. e. صَارَ ذَا
عَرْــضٍ, (
A,
TA,) and
عَرُــضَ, and اِتَّسَعَ; (
Sh;) [meaning the same as the
prov. before mentioned;] used with reference to him whose suspicion has become wide; (
IAar, and
TA in art. لبس;) i. e. with reference to him who suspects many persons (
IAar,
Az, and
K in art. لبس,) of a theft; (
IAar,
Az, and
TA in that art.;) or of saying a thing: (
TS, and
TA in that art.:) or when thou askest a person respecting a thing and he does not explain it to thee. (
TA in that art.) [See, again, Freytag's Arab.
Prov. ii. 100, where it is said that أَـ
ـعْرَــضَ ثَوْبُ المُلْبِسِ
app. means The garment of the suspected appeared, or has appeared: but that another reading is
عَرُــضَ, meaning became, or has become, wide.]
A2: عَرَــضَ,
aor. ـِ (
Fr,
S,
O,
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. عَرْــضٌ; (
TA:) and
عَرِــضَ, (
As,
TS,
K,)
aor. ـَ (
Fr,
K,) or ـِ like حَسِبَ,
aor. ـِ deviating from the general rule; (
As,
TS;) It (a thing) appeared, or became apparent, لَهُ to him; (
S,
O,
Msb,
K; [but in some copies of the
K, instead of the explanation ظَهَرَ وَبَدَا, we find ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ وَبَدَا, which is a mistake;]) as also ↓ ا
عرض, (
Fr,
S,
O,
Msb,
K,) which is a deviation from a general rule, being quasi
pass. of
عَرَــضَهُ, which see below; (
S, *
O, *
Msb,
K;) [
lit.] it showed its breadth, or width. (
O, *
TA.) You say, لَكَ الشَّىْءُ ↓ ا
عرض مِنْ بَعِيدٍ The thing appeared to thee from afar. (
TA.) And
عَرَــضَتْ لَهُ الغُولُ, and
عَرِــضَتْ, (
Az,
S,
O,
K,) The ghool appeared to him. (
K.) The Arabs say, of a thing,
عَرَــضَ and ↓ ا
عرض and ↓ تـ
ـعرّــض and ↓ اعترض, using these verbs as
syn.; (
Sh;) [
app. as meaning It showed, presented, or offered, itself, (
lit. its breadth, or width, or its side, see 5,) to a person: the first and last also often signify, and the others sometimes, he obtruded himself in an affair; interfered therein:]
IKt disallows ↓ ا
عرض in the sense of اعترض, as not having been found by him: (
TA:) [but] an instance of the former of these two verbs used in the sense of the latter of them occurs in the phrase لِلنَّاظِرِينَ ↓ إِذَا أُـ
ـعْرَــضَتْ [
app. meaning When she shows, or presents, herself to the lookers], in a poem by one of the tribe of Teiyi. (

inf. n. عَرْــضٌ; (
TA; [in one place in the
TA عُرُــوضٌ there referring to الخَبَرُ, which is
app. a mistranscription;]) and ↓ ا
عرض; (
S,
O,
K,
TA;) Good [i. e. the doing of good] hath become within thy power, or practicable to thee, or easy to thee. (
S,
O,
K,
TA.) And لَكَ الظَّبْىُ ↓ ا
عرض The gazelle hath exposed to thee its side; (
TA;) or hath put its side in thy power, (
S,
O,
K,
TA,) by turning it towards thee: (
O,
TA:) said to incite one to shoot it, or cast at it. (
S, O.) Or لَكَ ↓ ا
عرض, said of an animal of the chase, or other thing, signifies It hath put in thy power, [or exposed to thee,] its breadth, or width: (
A:) or لَهُ ↓ ا
عرض signifies it (a thing) became within his power, or practicable to him, or easy to him;
lit., it showed its side [to him]. (
Mgh.) [In the
TA, I find أَـ
ـعْرَــضَ فِى الشَّىْءِ
expl. as signifying He had the width of the thing in his power: but فى, here, seems to be a mistake for لَهُ.] A poet, also, says ↓ أَـ
ـعْرِــضِى addressing a woman; meaning أَمْكِنِى
[Empower thou; i. e. grant thou access]. (
S.)
b3: عَرَــضَ لَهُ,
aor. ـِ (
As,
S,
K,
TA;) and

TA.) [So, too, is ↓ اعترض.] You also say,
عَرَــضَهُ عَارِضٌ مِنَ الحُمَّى وَنَحْوِهَا [An occurrence of fever, and the like, happened to him, or befell him]. (
S.) And البَدَنَ ↓ اعترض [It befell the body] is said of [a disease, as, for instance,] the mange, or scab. (
B, in

عَرِــضَ له,
aor. ـَ (
Msb;) He intervened as an obstacle to him, preventing him from attaining his desire, (

عَرَــضَ لَهُ أَشَدَّ الـ
ـعَرْــضِ, and ↓ اعترض, He opposed himself to him (قَابَلَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ) with the most vehement opposition of himself. (
TA.) See also 5, second sentence. One should not say,
عرّــضتُ لَهُ, with teshdeed, in the sense of اِعْتَرَضْتُ. (
Msb.) You also say,
عَرَــضَ عَارِضٌ, meaning [An obstacle intervened, or prevented;

Msb.) And
عَرَــضَ لَهُ الشَّىْءُ فِى الطَّرِيقِ The thing intervened as an obstacle to him in the way, preventing him from going on. (
TA.) And
عَرَــضَ الشَّىْءُ The thing stood up and prevented; [or stood in the way, or presented itself as an obstacle; or opposed itself;] as also ↓ اعترض. (

b9: عَرَــضَ البَعِيرُ, (

S,
O,
K,) or some injurious accident, (
S,
O,) befell her; (

K;) as also
عَرِــضَتْ; (
O,
K;) but the former is the more approved: (

i. q. عَارَضَ بِهَا. (

ـعَرُــوض, i. e. Mekkeh and El-Medeeneh, (
S,
O,
K,
TA,) and El-Yemen, (
TA,) and what is around them. (
S,
O,

TA.)
A3: عَرَــضَ الشَّىْءَ, (
S,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـِ
inf. n. عَرْــضٌ, (
Msb,) He made the thing apparent; showed it; exhibited it; manifested it; exposed it to view; presented it; (
S,
O,
Msb,
K;) unfolded it; laid it open: and also he mentioned it: (
Msb:) [
lit. he showed its breadth, or width, or its side: and hence it also signifies he made the thing to stand as an obstacle, دُونَ شَىْءٍ in the way to, or of, a thing.] You say,
عَرَــضَ لَهُ الشَّىْءَ He made apparent, showed, exhibited, manifested, or exposed to view, to him the thing; (
S,

عَرَــضَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَ كَذَا (
S,
O,
K *) He showed, propounded, or proposed, to him, such a thing, or such a case: (
K, *
TA:) [and he asked, or required, of him, with gentleness, the doing of such a thing; for]
الـ
ـعَرْــضُ signifies طَلَبٌ بِلِينٍ, (
Mughnee and
K,
voce أَلَا,) or طَلَبٌ بِلِينٍ وَتَأَدُّبٍ. (
Mughnee voce لَوْلَا.) And
عَرَــضْتُ المَتَاعَ لِلْبَيْعِ [I showed, exposed, presented, or offered, the commodity for sale; or] I showed the commodity to those desirous of purchasing it. (
Msb.) The phrase
عَرَــضَ عَلَيْهِ المَتَاعَ [He showed, or offered, to him the commodity] is used because the person shows to the other the length and breadth of the thing (طُولَهُ وَـ
ـعَرْــضَهُ), or because he shows him one of its sides (
عُرْــضًا مِنْ أَـ
ـعْرَــاضِهِ). (
Mgh.) [Hence,] it is said in a
trad. of Hodheyfeh, تُـ
ـعْرَــضُ الفِتَنُ عَلَى القُلُوبِ
عَرْــضَ الحَصِيرِ, which means,
accord. to some, that فِتَن [Temptations, &c.,] will be [displayed and] embellished to the hearts of men like [as] the ornamented and variegated garment called حصير [is displayed and embellished]: (
B,
TA in art. حصر:) or the meaning is, that they will be laid and spread upon the hearts like the حصير: (
IAth,
TA in the present art.:) and some say that by this last word is here meant a certain vein extending across upon the side of a beast, towards the belly. (
TA in art. حصر.) [Hence also,]
عَرْــضٌ سَابِرِىٌّ [A slight exhibition: (see art. سبر:)] so in the proverbs by
A'Obeyd, in the handwriting of Ibn-El-Jawáleekee: (
TA:) or
عَرْــضُ سَابِرِىٍّ: (
TA, and so in a copy of the
S in this art.:) or
عَرْــضَ سَابِرِىٍّ. (
O,
TA, and so in a copy of the
S in this art.) With this agrees in meaning the saying
عَرَــضَ عَلَىَّ سَوْمَ عَالَّةٍ [He offered to me in the manner of offering water to camels taking a second draught: see also arts. سوم and عل; and see Freytag's Arab.
Prov. ii. 84]. (
TA.) Yousay also,
عَرَــضْتُ الجَارِيَةَ عَلَى البَيْعِ [I showed, or displayed, or exposed, or offered, the girl for sale]: (
S,
O,
TA:) and in like manner المَتَاعَ [the commodity]. (
TA.) And
عَرَــضْتُ لَهُ ثَوْبًا مَكَانَ حَقِّهِ; (
S, O;) and
عَرَــضْتُ لَهُ مِنْ حَقِّهِ ثَوْبًا, (
S,
O,
K,) or مَتَاعًا, (
TA,) this meaning, [as also the former phrase,] I gave to him a garment, or piece of cloth, [or a commodity,] in place of his due: (
S,
O,
K:) and in like manner,
عرضت بِهِ. (El-Umawee,
TA.) And
عَرَــضْتُ البَعِيرَ عَلَى
الحَوْضِ, which is an instance of inversion, meaning
عَرَــضْتُ الحَوْضَ عَلَى البَعِيرِ [I showed the watering-trough to the camel]: (
S,
O,
Msb:) [or it agrees in meaning with the phrase]
عَرَــضَ النَّاقَةَ عَلَى الحَوْضِ, and ↓ أَـ
ـعْرَــضَهَا, [as rendered] He offered to the she-camel to drink [at the wateringtrough]. (
L,
TA.) And
عَرَــضَهُمْ عَلَى السَّيْفِ [
lit. He exposed them to the sword; (see also 2;) meaning] he slew them (
S,
A,
O,
Msb,
K) with the sword. (
Msb.) And
عَرَــضَهُمْ عَلَى السَّوْطِ He beat them with the whip; he flogged them. (
K, *
TA.) And
عَرَــضَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ He burned them. (
A,
TA.) And
عَرَــضْتُ العَسَلَ عَلَى النَّارِ I cooked the honey [upon the fire] to separate it from the wax. (
Msb.) [And
عَرَــضَ نَفْسَهُ لِلْهَلَاكِ He exposed himself to destruction.]
b2: عَرْــضٌ also signifies The bringing a man before a judge, and accusing him. (
IAar, in
TA, art. عقب.) [and The presenting, or addressing, a petition, &c., with عَلَى or لِ before the word signifying the person to whom it is presented or addressed.]
b3: One says also, مَا يَـ
ـعْرِــضُكَ لِفُلَانٍ, (
S, [so in two copies,] and
O,) or مَا يَـ
ـعْرُــضَكَ, (
L,
TA,) with fet-h to the ى and damm to the ر, (
L,) the verb being coordinate to نَصَرَ: (
TA:) [
app. meaning What causeth thee to present thyself to such a one?]: Yaakoob disallows one's saying ↓ مَا يُـ
ـعَرِّــضُكَ لِفُلَانٍ, with teshdeed. (
S,
O,
TA.) [But the latter of these two verbs has a signification nearly allied to that which is here assigned to the former, and exactly agreeing with one mentioned before. See 2.]
b4: عَرَــضَ الجُنْدَ, (
S,
Msb,) and
عَرَــضَ الجُنْدَ

A,
B:) or he caused them to come forth, and examined them, that he might know them: (
Msb:) and you say also, ↓ اعترضهُمْ, (
S,
O,
K,) meaning [the same, or] he made them to pass by him, or before him, and examined them, one by one, (
K,
TA,) to see who were absent from those who were present. (
TA.) You say also, ↓ اعترض المَتَاعَ وَنَحْوَهُ and عَلَى عَيْنِهِ ↓ اعترضهُ [He examined the commodity, and the like thereof, having it displayed before his eye]. (

A,
TA:) or he corresponded to him, or equalled him, in grounds of pretension to respect: (
TA:) [the former seems to be the more probable of the two meanings; for it is said that] فُلَانًا ↓ اعترض signifies he spoke evil of such a one; reviled him; detracted from his reputation; (
Lth,
S,
O,
K;) and annoyed him. (

aor. ـُ and
عَرِــضَ, (
S,
O,
Msb,
K,) in both phrases, (

J says, in the
S,

TA, or بِالـ
ـعَرْــضِ,

O,
TA.) Or,
accord. to the early authorities,
عرّــض signifies He used a phrase susceptible of different meanings, or an equivocal phrase, by which the hearer understood a meaning different from that which he (the speaker) intended: or,
accord. to the later authorities, as Et-Teftezánee, he mentioned a thing by a proper or
tropical or metonymical expression, to signify some other thing, which he did not mention; as when one says, “I heard him whom thou hatest praying for thee, and making good mention of thee; ” meaning in his praying for the Muslims in general. (El-Munáwee, in explaining the
trad. إِنَّ فِى المَعَارِيضِ الخ, which see below,
voce مِـ
ـعْرَــاضٌ.) تـ
ـعريض with respect to the demanding of a woman in marriage in [the period of] her عِدَّة, [during which she may not contract a new marriage,] is the using language which resembles a demand of her in marriage, but does not plainly express it; as the saying to her “ Verily thou art beautiful,” or “ Verily there is a desire for thee,” or “ Verily women are of the things that I need: ” and تـ
ـعريض is sometimes made by the quoting of proverbs, and by the introducing of enigmas in one's speech. (

K is indicated by what here immediately follows.]) Hence the

5 تـ
ـعرّــض: see
عَرَــضَ, near the beginning, where these two verbs, and ا
عرض and اعترض, are said to be used as
syn.; [
app. as meaning It showed, presented, or offered, itself, to a person;
lit. it showed, or presented, its breadth, or width; or, as تـ
ـعرّــض is
expl. in the
EM p. 19, it showed its
عُرْــض, i. e. side: this, or it, or he, presented, or offered, or exposed, its, or his, side, seems to be the primary signification of تـ
ـعرّــض, and of اعترض, as well as of
عَرَــضَ; and is of frequent occurrence: and all (as mentioned
voce عَرَــضَ) signify also he obtruded himself in an affair; interfered therein.]
b2: [Hence,] تـ
ـعرّــض لَهُ He opposed himself to him; he offered opposition to him; or he attacked him; said of a man, and of a beast of prey, or noxious reptile, and the like; as also ↓
عَرَــضَ and ↓ اعترض: this signification also is of frequent occurrence. (The lexicons passim.)
b3: [Hence also,] He addressed, or applied, or directed, himself, or his regard, or attention, or mind, to him, or it; [as though he set himself over against the object to which the verb relates;]
syn. تَصَدَّى. (
Lth,
Lh,
S,

Msb,
K.) So in the saying, تـ
ـعرّــض لِمَـ

ـعْرُــوفِ and المَـ

Az,
Msb:) and [so] للمـ

Msb in art.
عر. [See also اعترض لَهُ.]) So too in the saying, تَـ
ـعَرَّــضُوا لِنَفَحَاتِ رَحْمَةِ اللّٰهِ [Address ye yourselves, &c., to become objects of the effusions of the mercy of God]; (
O,
K,
TA;) occurring in a
trad. (
TA.) And hence the saying, تـ
ـعرّــض فِى شَهَادَتِهِ لِكَذَا He addressed himself, &c., (تصدّى,) in his testimony, to the mention of such a thing. (
Msb.) It is likewise
syn. with تصدّى in the saying, تـ
ـعرّــض لِى فُلَانٌ بِمَكْرُوهٍ [Such a one addressed himself, &c., or attempted, to do me an abominable, or evil, action; or opposed himself to me with an abominable, or evil, action]. (

عَرَــضْتُ and ↓ مَا
عَرِــضْتُ are said to signify the same. (
Msb.) [See 1.] Yousay also, تَـ

S, O. *) And جَآءَ فُلَانٌ يَتَـ

TA:) his, or its, course, or march, was, or became, indirect, or oblique. (

ـعرّــض الجَمَلُ فِى الجَبَلِ The camel went to the right and left, [in, or upon, the mountain,] on account of the difficulty of the road, or way. (

ـعَرَّــضَتِ الإِبِلُ المَدَارِجَ The camels went along the routes (فِى المَدَارِجِ) [المَدَارِجَ being in the
accus. case because فى is understood, not that the verb is
trans.] to the right and left; (A;) i. e., alternately to the right and left. (
T in art. ثنى.) [See a verse cited
voce تَصَدَّفَ, and its explanation.] Dhu-l-Bijádeyn, being guide to the Apostle, addressing his she-camel, said, تَـ
ـعَرَّــضِى مَدَارِجًا وَسُومِى
تَـ
ـعَرُّــضَ الجَوْزَآءِ لِلنُّجُومِ هٰذَا أَبُو القَاسِمِ فَاسْتَقِيمِى (
S, O) Go thou along routes to the right and left, avoiding the rugged acclivities, [and continue thy course, or as
expl. in the
TA, art. سوم, pass along quickly,] (
TA,) like as الجوزاء [Orion] passes along in the sky obliquely, or indirectly, in the disposition of its stars [with respect to the other stars: (see 3, towards the end:) this is Abu-l-
Kásim; therefore go thou right]. (
IAth,
TA.)
b7: تـ
ـعرّــض الفَرَسُ فِى رَسَنِهِ
i. q. اعترض,
q. v. (
TA.) You say also, of a camel, فِى سَيْرِهِ ↓ يَعْتَرِضُ [He inclines towards one side, in his march, or course; or goes obliquely, or inclining towards one side]. (
K: and so in one copy of the
S: in another copy of the
S, يَتَـ
ـعَرَّــضُ. [See also 3, last quarter.])
b8: تـ
ـعرّــض also signifies It (a thing) became infected, vitiated, or corrupted; and in this sense it is said of love: (
TA:) [as though it turned from the right course, or direction; a signification mentioned before; and thus it is
expl. in the

ـعرّــض وَصْلُهُ, in the Mo'allakah of Lebeed; or, thus used, it signifies] it (a person's attachment to another) became altered, so as to cease. (
EM p. 149.) 6 تعارضا They opposed each other. (Ibn-Maaroof, in Golius. [The verb is very often used in this sense.])
b2: They fought, or combated, each other. (
MA.)
b3: They did each like as the other did; they imitated each other: they vied, competed, or contended, each with the other; they emulated, or rivalled, each other: (

عَرَــضَ, near the beginning, where these two verbs and ا
عرض and تـ
ـعرّــض, are said to be used as
syn.,
app. in the senses
expl. there and in the beginning of 5.
b2: [Hence,] اعترض عَلَيْهِ He opposed, resisted, or withstood, him, or it;
syn. اِمْتَنَعَ. (
MA.) [See 1 in art. شنف, in two places.]
b3: See also 5, second sentence.
b4: And see from
عَرَــضَ لَهُ as signifying “ it happened to him ” as far as the end of the sentence explaining اعترض الشَّىْءُ دُونَ الشَّىْءِ.
اعترض signifies [It lay, or extended, breadthwise, across, transversely, athwart, sideways, obliquely, or horizontally: or so as to present an obstacle: or so intervened in any manner; as shown in the part last referred to, above: or rather it has both of these meanings; and in the former sense it is used, in the
TA, art. حر, in describing the direction of an asterism, opposed to اِنْتَصَبَ: or, in other words,] it (a thing,
S) became, (
K,) or became an obstacle, (صَارَ عَارِضًا,
S,
O,) like a piece of wood lying across, or athwart, or obliquely, (مُعْتَرِضَةً,) in a channel of running water, (
S,
O,
K,) or a road, (
O,
L,) and the like, preventing persons from passing along it. (
L.) It is also said [of a collection of clouds appearing, or presenting itself, or extending sideways, or stretching along in the horizon like a mountain; see عَارِضٌ: and] of a building, or other thing, such as a trunk of a palm-tree, or a mountain, lying in a road: and as this prevents the passengers from passing along the road, it is used as signifying He, or it, prevented, or hindered: (
O,
K:) it is quasi-
pass. of
عَرَــضَهُ. (
K, *
TA.) [And hence,] اُعْتُرِضَ عَنِ امْرَأَتِهِ, (
O,
TA,) not اِعْتَرَضَ, as the
K seems to indicate, (
TA,) He was prevented from going in to his wife, by an obstacle that befell him, arising from the jinn, or genii, or from disease: (
O,
K,

A'Obeyd. (
S, O.)
b6: A man's honour, or reputation, (جَانِبُهُ,) which he preserves from impairment and blame, both as it relates to himself and to his حَسَب [or grounds of pretension to respect on account of the honourable deeds or qualities of his ancestors, &c.]: (
IAth,
O,
K:) or whether it relate to himself or to his ancestors or to those of whose affairs the management is incumbent on him: (
K:) or a subject of praise, and of blame, of a man, (Abu-l-'Abbás,
IAth,
O,
K,) whether it be in himself or in his ancestors or in those of whose affairs the management is incumbent on him: (
IAth:) or those things by the mention whereof with praise or dispraise a man rises or falls; which may be things whereby he is characterized exclusively of his ancestors; and it may be that his ancestors are mentioned in such a manner that imperfection shall attach to him by reason of the blaming of them. respecting this there is no disagreement among the lexicologists, except
IKt [whose objection see in what follows]: (Abu-l-'Abbás, O:) or (
accord. to some,
S) grounds of pretension to respect on account of the honourable deeds or qualities of one's ancestors, &c., (حَسَبٌ,
S,
Msb,
K,) and eminence, or nobility, (شَرَفٌ,) in which one glories. (
K.) You say, فُلَانٌ كَرِيمُ الـ
ـعِرْــضِ Such a one is generous, or noble, in respect of حَسَب: and هُوَ ذُو
عِرْــضٍ he is a possessor of حَسَب; and of شَرَف. (
TA.)
b7: Sometimes, Ancestors are meant by it. (
A'Obeyd,
K.) Thus you say, شَتَمَ فُلَانٌ
عِرْــضَ فُلَانٍ, meaning Such a one spoke evil of the ancestors of such a one. (
A'Obeyd.) And فُلَانٌ جَرِبُ الـ
ـعِرْــضِ Such a one is base, or ignoble, in respect of ancestry. (
TA.)
IKt disallows this signification, asserting
عِرْــضٌ to have no other signification than those of a man's نَفْس and his بَدَن: (
O, *
TA:) but I Amb says that this is an error; as is shown by the saying of Aboo-Miskeen Ed-Dárimee, رُبَّ مَهْزُولٍ سَمِينٌ
عِرْــضُهُ وَسَمِينِ الجِسْمِ مَهْزُولُ الحَسَبْ
in which
عِرْــض cannot be
syn. with بَدَن and جِسْم, for, were it so, it would involve a contradiction; the meaning being only Many a person meagre in respect of his body is noble [or great] in respect of his ancestry; [and fat in respect of the body, meagre in respect of grounds of pretension to honour on account of the honourable deeds or qualities of his ancestors, &c.:] and by Mohammad's using the expression دَمُهُ وَـ
ـعِرْــضُهُ; for if
عِرْــض were [here]
syn. with نَفْس, it had sufficed to say دمه without
عرضه. (
O,
TA.)
b8: Also A natural disposition that is commended. (
IAth,
K.)
b9: And A good action. (
TA.)
A5: Also One who speaks evil of men (يَعْتَرِضُهُمْ) falsely; (
O,
K;) applied to a man: and so with
عِرْــضَنٌ applied to a woman: (
O,
K: *) so too ↓ ة applied to a man, and with
عَرْــضَنٌ to a woman. (
TA.)
عَرَــضٌ A thing that happens to, befalls, or occurs to, a man; such as disease, and the like; (
S,
O,
K;) as disquietude of mind, and a state of distraction of the mind or attention: or a misfortune, such as death, and disease, and the like: (
TA:) or an event that happens to a man, whereby he is tried: (
As:) or a thing that happens to a man, whereby he is impeded; such as disease, or a theft: (
Lh:) or a bane, or cause of mischief, that occurs in a thing; as also ↓ عَارِضٌ: (
TA:) [both signify also an accident of any kind:]
pl. أَـ
ـعْرَــاضٌ. (
TA.)
b2: A thing's befalling, or hitting, unexpectedly. (
O,
K. [I follow the reading of the
O, which is that of the
K as given in the
TA, and of my
MS. copy of the
K, أَنْ يُصِيبَ الشَّىْءُ عَلَى غِرَّةٍ; in preference to that in the
CK, أَنْ تُصِيبَ الشَّىْءَ عَلَى غِرَّةٍ.]) You say, أَصَابَهُ سَهْمُ
عَرَــضٍ (
S,
A,
O,
K *) and سَهْمٌ
عَرَــضٌ, (
A,
TA,) and حَجَرُ
عَرَــضٍ (
S, O) and حَجَرٌ
عَرَــضٌ, (
TA,) [A random arrow, and a random stone, or] an arrow, and a stone, aimed at another, hit him: (
S,
O,
K:) such as hits, or falls upon, a man without any one's shooting it, or casting it, is not thus termed. (
L.) And مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ الرَّأْىِ
عَرَــضًا خَيْرٌ مِمَّا جَآءَكَ مُسْتَكْرَهًا, i. e. [The opinion] that comes to thee without consideration, or thought, [is better than that which comes to thee forced.] (
TA.) And عُلِّقْتُهَا
عَرَــضًا I became attached to her (
S,
O,
K) accidentally, or unintentionally, (
S,
O,) in consequence of her presenting herself to me (
ISk,
S,
O,
K) as a thing occurring without my seeking it. (
ISk.) [See an
ex., in a verse of Antarah, cited in the first paragraph of art. زعم; and another, in a verse of El-Aashà, cited in the first paragraph of art. علق.]
b3: A thing that is not permanent: (
Mgh,
O,
B,
K.) so in the conventional language of the Muslim theologians: (
Mgh:) opposed to جَوْهَرٌ: (
TA:) or hence metaphorically applied by the Muslim theologians to (
tropical:) a thing that has not permanence unless in, or by, the substance; [i. e., in the language of old logicians, an accident; an essential, and an accidental (as meaning a non-essential), property, or quality; or what modern logicians call a mode; whether it be, in their language, an essential mode or an accidental mode; which latter only they term “ an accident; ”] as colour, and taste: (
B:) or, in the conventional language of the Muslim theologians (المُتَكَلِّمُون [
expl. in the
TA as signifying “ the philosophers,” from whom, however, they are generally distinguished]), a thing that subsists in, or by, another thing; (
O,
K;) as colours, and tastes, and smells, and sounds, and powers, and wills: (O: [and the like is said in the
Msb:]) or, in philosophy, a thing that exists in its subject, or substance, and ceases therefrom without the latter's becoming impaired or annihilated; and also such as does not cease therefrom: the former kind being such as tawniness occasioned by an altered state of the body, and yellowness of complexion, and motion of a thing moving; and the latter kind, such as the blackness of pitch, and of [the beads called] سَبَج, and of the crow. (
L.)
b4: [Hence, An appertenance of any kind.
b5: Hence also,] The frail goods (حُطَام) of the present world or state; (
As,
O,
K;) and what a man acquires thereof: (
As, O:) [so called as being not permanent:] or worldly goods or commodities, (
AO,
Msb,) of whatever kind, are thus called, with fet-h to the ر: (
AO:) and any property or wealth, little or much, (
S,
O,
K,) is thus called, (
K,) or is called
عَرَــضُ الدُّنْيَا. (
S, O.) See also
عَرْــضٌ,
expl. as signifying “ a commodity,” or “ commodities ” or “ goods. ” One says, الدُّنْيَا
عَرَــضٌ حَاضِرٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا البَرُّ وَالفَاجِرُ [The world is a present frail good: the righteous and the unrighteous eat thereof]: (
S,
O,
TA:) i. e. it has no permanence: a
trad. related by Sheddád Ibn-Ows. (
TA.) And in another
trad. related by the same, it is said, لَيْسَ الغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الـ
ـعَرَــضِ
إِنَّمَا الغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ [Richness is not from the abundance of worldly goods: richness is only richness of the soul]. (
O,
TA.) One says also, قَدْ فَاتَهُ الـ
ـعَرَــضُ, (
Yoo,
S,
L,) and ↓ الـ
ـعَرْــضُ, but the former is the more approved, (
L,) [The property, &c., (but see another meaning below,) had escaped him], which is from
عَرْــضُ الجُنْدِ, [see
عَرَــضَ,] like as one says قَبَضَ قَبْضًا and قَدْ أَلْقَاهُ فِى القَبَضِ: (
Yoo,
S:) [which seems to indicate that
عَرَــضٌ properly signifies مَـ
ـعْرُــوضٌ, like as قَبَضٌ signifies مَقْبُوضٌ.]
b6: Booty; spoil. (
O,
K.) So in the
Kur ix. 42: (
O:) or it there signifies
b7: i. q. مَطْلَبٌ [
app. meaning A thing sought, or desired; and object of desire; rather than a place where a thing is sought]. (
TA.)
b8: I. q. طَمَعٌ [
app. meaning A thing that is eagerly desired, or coveted: and also eager desire; or covetousness]. (
AO,
O,
K.) So explained by some as occurring in the saying قَدْ فَاتَهُ الـ
ـعَرَــضُ, mentioned above. (
TA.) And the following verse is also cited as an
ex., مَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو بَقَآءً لَا نَفَادَ لَهُ فَلَا يَكُنْ
عَرَــضُ الدُّنْيَا لَهُ شَجَنَا
[Whoso hopeth for continuance without cessation, let not the eager desire of worldly goods be to him a cause of anxiety]. (
O,
TA.)
b9: A gift. (
TA.) See also
عُرَــاضَةٌ.
b10: هُوَ عَلَى
عَرَــضِ الوُجُودِ signifies عَلَى إِمْكَانِهِ [
app. meaning It is in the condition of possibility of existence; for على seems to be here used in the sense of فِى, as in some other instances]; from أَـ
ـعْرَــضَ لَهُ meaning “ it became within his power,” &c. (
Mgh.) And one says, هُوَ بِـ
ـعَرَــضٍ
أَنْ يَضِيعَ [He is exposed, or liable, to perish]. (
Mgh voce ضَيَاعٌ.)
b11: جَعَلَ الشَّىْءَ
عَرَــضًا لِلشَّىْءِ, or
عَرْــضًا,
accord. to different copies of the
K: see 2, in the latter half of the paragraph, in two places.
عُرُــضٌ, (
L,
TA,) in the
K, erroneously, ↓
عُرْــضٌ, (
TA,) A certain manner of going along, (
K,
TA,) towards one side, (
TA,) approved in horses, but disapproved in camels. (
K,
TA.)
b2: نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ عَنْ
عُرُــضٍ:
b3: and رَأَيْتُهُ فِى
عُرُــضِ النَّاسِ: see
عُرْــضٌ.
عُرْــضَةٌ is of the measure فُعْلَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعولٌ, like قُبْضَةٌ; (
Bd, ii. 224;) and is applied to A thing that is set as an obstacle in the way of a thing: (
Bd,
TA:) and also to a thing that is exposed to a thing: (
Bd:) or that is set as a butt, like the butt of archers. (
TA.) You say, جَعَلْتُ فُلَانًا
عُرْــضَةً لِكَذَا, meaning نَصَبْتُهُ لَهُ; (
S,
O,
K; *) i. e. I set such a one as an obstacle to such a thing: or as a butt for such a thing. (
TA.) And هُوَ لَهُ دُونَهُ
عُرْــضَةٌ He is an obstacle to him intervening in the way of it. (
S, O.) And فُلَانٌ
عُرْــضَةٌ لِلنَّاسِ Such a one is [a butt to men; i. e.] a person whom men cease not to revile: (
S,
O,
Msb,
K:) or a person to whom men address themselves to do evil, and whom they revile. (
Az,
TA.) And هُمْ ضُعَفَآءُ
عُرْــضَةٌ لِكُلِّ مُتَنَاوِلٍ
They are weak persons; persons who offer themselves as a prey to any one who would take them. (
TA.) And it is said in the
Kur [ii. 224], وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا اللّٰهُ
عُرْــضَةً لِأَيْمَانِكُمْ أَنْ تَبَرُّوا وَتَتَّقُوا وَتُصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ, (
S, * &c.,) meaning نَصْبًا; (
S,
TA;) admitting the two significations of an obstacle and a butt: (
TA:) i. e. And make not God an obstacle between you and that which may bring you near unto God, &c.: (
O,
K:) or make not God an obstacle to the performance of your oaths to be pious (
O,
Bd) and to fear God and to make reconciliation between men: or make not God an obstacle, because of your oaths, to your being pious &c.: (
Bd:) or make not the swearing by God an obstacle to your being pious [&c.]: (
Fr:) and
Zj says the like of this: (
L:) or
عُرْــضَةٌ signifies intervention with respect to good and evil; (Abu-l- 'Abbás,
O,
K;) and the meaning is, do not intervene by swearing by God every little while so as not to be pious &c.: (
O,
K, *
TA:) or make not God an object of your oaths, by ordinary and frequent swearing by Him, (
Bd,) or a butt for your oaths, like the butt of archers, (
TA,) in order that ye may be pious &c.; for the habitual swearer emboldens himself against God, and is not pious &c.: (
Bd:) or, as some say, the meaning is make not the mention of God a means of strengthening your oaths. (
TA.) You say also, هٰذَا
عُرْــضَةٌ لَكَ as meaning This is a thing prepared for thy common, or ordinary, use. (
O,
TA.)
b2: A purpose; an intention; or an object of desire, or of endeavour; [as though it were a butt;]
syn. هِمَّةٌ. (
S,
O,
K.) Hassán says, (
S,
O,) i. e. Ibn-
Thábit, (
O,
TA,) وَقَالَ اللّٰهُ قَدْ يَسَّرْتُ جُنْدًا هُمُ الأَنْصَارُ
عُرْــضَتُهَا اللِّقَآءُ [And God said I have prepared an army: they are the Ansár; whose purpose, or the object of whose desire, is conflict with the unbelievers]. (
S,
O,
TA. [In one copy of the
S, in the place of يَسَّرْتُ, I find أَعْدَدْتُ, which signifies the same.])
b3: A pretext; an excuse. (
MA.)
b4: One says also, فُلَانٌ
عُرْــضَةُ ذَاكَ, (

O,) or
عُرْــضَةٌ لِذَاكَ, (
S,
O,
K,) Such a one is possessed of the requisite ability and strength for that: (
S,
O,
K:) and
عُرْــضَةٌ لِلشَّرِّ possessed of strength to do evil, or mischief: and in like manner
عُرْــضَةٌ is applied to two things, and to more. (
TA.) And فُلَانَةُ
عُرْــضَةٌ لِلزَّوْجِ (
S,
O,
K) Such a female is possessed of sufficient strength for the husband; [i. e., to be married;] (
TA;) or لِلنِّكَاحِ for marriage. (
A.) And نَاقَةٌ
عُرْــضَةٌ لِلْحِجَارَةِ A she-camel having strength enough for [going upon] the stones. (
S,
O,
K.) And [in like manner] أَسْفَارٍ ↓ نَاقَةٌ
عُرْــضُ A she-camel having strength sufficient for journeys. (
S,
O,
K. *) and هٰذَا البَعِيرِ السَّفَرُ وَالحَجَرُ ↓
عُرْــضُ (
S,
O,
K) The strength of this camel is sufficient for journeying and for going over stone. (
IB.)

عُرْــضِىٌّ A camel that goes obliquely, or inclining towards one side, because not yet completely trained: (
S,
O,
K:) or submissive in the middle part [or body, so as to be easy to ride, but] difficult of management: and perverse, untoward, or intractable: and with ة, a she-camel not completely trained: (
TA:) or difficult to manage; refractory. (

K.) See also
عَرُــوضٌ.
b2: One who does not sit steadily, or firmly, upon the saddle; (
IAar,

IAar, O.) يَمْشِى بِالـ
ـعَرْــضِيَّةِ, and ↓ بِالـ
ـعُرْــضِيَّةِ, the latter from
Lh, He goes sideways. (
TA.)
عُرْــضِيَّةٌ: see what next precedes. Refractoriness, and a random or heedless manner of going, by reason of pride: in a horse, the going sideways: and in a she-camel, the state of being untrained: (
TA:) and in a man, [so expressly shown in the

TA; but in the
CK, قِيلَ is erroneously put for فِيكَ;] what resembles roughness, ungentleness, or awkwardness; want of due care, by reason of haste; (
syn. عَجْرَفِيَّةٌ;) and pride; and refractoriness. (

عِرْــضٌ, last sentence.
عِرَــضْنَةٌ An oblique course or motion: (
A'Obeyd,
L,
TA:) and briskness, liveliness, sprightliness: and
عِرِــضْنَةٌ signifies the same. (

عِرَــضْنَةً I looked towards such a one from the outer angle of my eye. (
S,
O,
K. *) The
dim. of ↓
عِرَــضْنَى is ↓
عُرَــيْضِنٌ; the ن being retained because it is a letter of quasi-coordination, and the ى suppressed because it is not such. (
S, O.)
b2: Also, [
app. for ذَاتُ
عِرَــضْنَةٍ,] A she-camel that goes along obliquely, (

Báhilee says, أُخِبُّ ذَلُولًا أَوْ
عَرُــوضًا أَرُوضُهَا [I make a submissive one to go the pace termed خَبَب, or an untrained one I train]; meaning that he recites two poems; one of which he has made easy, and the other whereof is difficult:

b2: And hence, (Aboo-Is-hák,) The middle portion [or foot] of a verse; (Aboo-Is-hák, O;) for the بَيْت of poetry is constructed after the manner of the بَيْت inhabited by the Arabs, which is of pieces of cloth; and as the
عروض of the latter is the strongest part, so should that of the former be; and accordingly we see that a deficiency in the ضَرْب is more frequent than it is in the
عروض: (Aboo-Is-hák:) the last foot of the first half or hemistich (
S,
K) of a verse; (
S;) whether perfect or altered: (

Msb;) the standard whereby verse is measured: (
S,
O,
K:) because it is compared (يُعَارَضُ) therewith: (
S, O:) or because what is correct in measure is thereby distinguished from what is broken: (
K: [in which some other reasons are added, too futile, in my opinion, to deserve mention: I think it more probable that
عروض is used by a synecdoche for شِـ
ـعْرٌ, as being the most essential part thereof; and then, elliptically, for عِلْمُ الـ
ـعَرُــوضِ, which is the more common term for the science:]) it is
fem.; and has no
pl., because it is a
gen. n. (

TA.) [See also
عَرْــضٌ and
عِرْــضٌ.] In the phrase عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا, in the

accord. to
ISk, عَارِضٌ signifies the canine tooth and the ضِرْس [or bicuspid] next thereto: or, as some say, what are between the central incisor and the [first] ضرس [which is a bicuspid]: (

عَرُــوضٍ [Such a one is running without any want that has occurred to him]. (
S, O. [In the
K, in the place of ركوض, we find رَبُوضٌ, which I think a mistake.]) [In Freytag's Arab.
Prov. i. 555, we find ↓ رَكُوضٌ فِى كُلِّ
عَرُــوضٍ, which is
expl. as meaning Running swiftly in every region; and said to be applied to him who disseminates evil, or mischief, among men.]

Sh says that the making مـ
ـعرضا to signify مُمْكِنًا is improbable; because it is in the
accus. case as a denotative of state with respect to [the
agent implied in the verb] ادّان; and if you explain it as meaning he took it from him who enabled him, then مـ
ـعرضا applies to him whom he accosts, for he is the ممكن; [he suggests also, that the meaning may be he bought upon credit, or borrowed, largely; for] he adds that مـ

Msb:) from
عَرَّــضَ [
q. v.]: (
Msb, El-Munáwee: the latter in explaining a
trad.,
q. v. infrà:)
i. q. تَوْرِيَةٌ [signifying as above; or the pretending one thing and meaning another; or the using a word, an expression, or a phrase, which has an obvious meaning, and intending thereby another meaning to which it applies but which is contrary to the obvious one]; the original meaning of which is concealment: (
Msb:) or language whereof one part resembles another in the meanings: (
O,
TA: [in the
TA immediately follows the exemplification cited above, from the
Msb; whence it seems that this explanation is itself somewhat of a مـ
ـعراض, meaning what it does not clearly express:]) or المَعَارِيضُ فِى الكَلَامِ [thus, with the
pl. form, in two copies of the
S, and in the
TA,] signifies التَّوْرِيَةُ بِالشَّىْءِ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ [the pretending, or making believe, a thing instead of another thing]: (
S:) and مَعَارِضُ الكَلَامِ and ↓ أَـ
ـعْرَــاضُهُ signify the same as مَعَارِيضُهُ. (
TA.) [مَعَارِضُ is a contraction of مَعَارِيضُ, like as مِـ
ـعْرضٌ is said to be of مِـ
ـعْرَــاضٌ when
syn. therewith.] It is said in a
prov., (
S,) a
trad., (
TA,) إِنَّ فِى
المَعَارِيضِ لَمَنْدُوحَةً عَنِ الكَذِبِ [Verily, in oblique, indirect, obscure, ambiguous, or equivocal, modes of speech is ample scope, freedom, or liberty, (سَعَةٌ,
S,) to avoid lying; or, as is said in the
L in art. ندح, that which renders one in no need of lying]. (
S,
Msb.) One says also,
عَرَــفْتُهُ فِى
مِـ
ـعْرَــاضِ كَلَامِهِ,
expl. voce عَرُــوضٌ which see in three places, and كَلَامِهِ ↓ فِى مِـ
ـعْرَــضِ, rejecting the ا: this latter is said by some of the learned to be a
metaphorical expression, from مِـ
ـعْرَــضٌ signifying the “ garment in which girls are displayed,” as though the meaning were (
tropical:) [I knew it] in the form, or manner, and guise, and mould, of his speech; but this does not obtain in all kinds of speech; for it may not be said in cases of reviling; indeed it would be bad, in these cases, to use as a
metaphor the garment of adornment: therefore the proper way is to say that مِـ
ـعْرَــضٌ is a contraction of مِـ
ـعْرَــاضٌ. (
Msb.) One also says الأَلْفَاظُ مَعَارِيضُ المَعَانِى (
tropical:) [Words are the robes of meanings]: and this phrase also is [said to be] taken from مِـ
ـعْرَــضٌ signifying the “ garment in which a girl is displayed; ” because words adorn meanings. (
TA.) مُعَارِضٌ A camel that does not go straightly in the file, or series, but takes to the right and left: (
A:) or a she camel such as is termed عَلُوق; that makes a show of affection with her nose [by smelling her young one], (تَرْأَمُ بِأَنْفِهَا,) and refuses to yield her milk. (
AA,
O,
K.) سَحَابٌ مُعْتَرِضٌ فِى الأُفُقِ:
i. q. عَارِضٌ,
q. v. b2: [جُمْلَةٌ مُعْتَرِضَةٌ A parenthetic clause.]
b3: فُلَانٌ مُعْتَرِضٌ فِى خُلُقِهِ [Such a one is habitually cross, or perverse, in his disposition, in every case,] is said of a man when everything of his affairs displeases thee. (
TA.)
b4: هَوًى مُعْتَرِضٌ Love that befalls at first sight, and captivates the heart at once unless it quit it quickly as it seized it quickly. (
Ham p. 551.)
