فقر

1 فَقَرَ, (TA,) [aor., app., فَقُرَ and فَقِرَ,] inf. n. فَقْرٌ, (O, K, TA,) He dug the ground; (O, * K, * TA;) as also ↓ فقّر, (TA,) inf. n. تَفْقِيرٌ. (K, TA.) and He dug a well to draw forth the water. (TA.) b2: And فَقْرٌ signifies The boring, or perforating, of beads for the purpose of stringing; (K;) [as also تَفْقِيرٌ; for one says] ↓ فَقَّرْتُ [as well as فَقَرْتُ], meaning I bored, or perforated, beads. (S.) b3: And The act of cleaving, slitting, or rending. (O.) [See also 8.] b4: And فَقَرَ أَنْفَ البَعِيرِ, (S, O, K, *) [and فَقَرَ البَعِيرَ also, as is indicated in the TA,] aor. ـُ and فَقِرَ, inf. n. فَقْرٌ, (K,) He made an incision in the nose [or muzzle] of the camel, (S, O, K, TA,) the beast being refractory, (TA,) with an iron instrument, (S, O, TA,) so as to reach to the bone, (K, TA,) or nearly so, (TA,) then put upon the place of the incision the [cord called] جَرِير, (S, O, TA, *) with a [string such as is termed] وَتَر wound upon it, (S, O,) to render him tractable, or to train him, thereby: (S, O, K, TA:) sometimes the refractory camel has three incisions made in his muzzle; and when his owner desires to render him tractable, and to prevent him from being brisk above measure, he puts the جرير upon the incision that is next to his lip, and in consequence he governs him as he will; and if he be between the refractory and the tractable, he puts the جرير upon the intermediate incision, and in consequence he exceeds in his pace; and if he desire that he should stretch forth and go without inconvenience to his owner, he puts the جرير upon the uppermost incision. (Aboo-Ziyád, L.) [The incision above mentioned is termed ↓ فُقْرَةٌ. b5: Hence, app., by a tropical usage, فَقَرَ signifies (assumed tropical:) He stigmatized a man: Freytag has mentioned it as occurring in the Deewán of the Hudhalees, and meaning “ satyra perstrinxit eius vitia commemorans aliquem. ”]

A2: [فَقَرَهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فَقْرٌ, He, or it, broke the فَقَار (or vertebræ) of his back. b2: Hence the phrase,] فَقَرَتْهُ الفَافقِرَةُ, (S, O,) or الدَّاهِيَةُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فَقْرٌ, (Msb,) [lit.] The calamity broke the vertebræ of his back: (S, O:) [meaning] the calamity befell him. (Msb.) A3: فَقُرَ, with damm, [aor. ـُ He had a complaint of his vertebræ: and فَقِرَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. فَقَرٌ, He had a complaint of his vertebræ arising from fracture or disease. (Msb.) b2: فَقُرَ or فَقِرَ in the sense of اِفْتَقَرَ: see 8.2 فَقَّرَ see 1, first and third sentences. b2: فقّر لِلْوَدِيَّةِ, (S, TA, *) or لِلْفَسِيلَةِ, (K, TA,) inf. n. تَفْقِيرٌ; [and accord. to Golius, ↓ تفقّر, but for this I have not found any authority;] He dug a hollow such as is termed فَقِير [q. v.] for the shoot, or offset, of a palm-tree. (S, K, TA.) b3: And فُقِّرَ, said of anything, It was incised, or notched; and impressed, or marked. (TA.) b4: Lth has erroneously assigned to تَفْقِيرٌ, a meaning belonging to تَقْفِيزٌ, q. v. (TA.) 4 افقر He (a colt) became fit for riding upon his فَقَار [or vertebræ]; like أَرْكَبَ: (O:) or he (a colt, Msb), or it (the back of a colt, L), became [strong in the vertebræ and] fit for being ridden. (L, Msb.) A2: افقرهُ نَاقَتَهُ, (S, O,) or بَعِيرَهُ, (ISk, K,) or ظَهْرَ بَعِيرِهِ, (TA,) or بَعِيرًا, (Mgh,) or دَابَّتَهُ, (A 'Obeyd, TA,) or المُهْرَ, (Msb,) He lent him the vertebræ [meaning the back] of his she-camel, that he might ride thereon: (S, O:) and he lent him the back of his camel (ISk, K, TA) during a journey, (ISk, TA) for carrying a burden, and for riding, (ISk, K, TA,) to be returned afterwards: (ISk, TA:) and he lent him a camel, that he might ride thereon; from فَقَار signifying the “ vertebræ ” of the back: (Mgh:) and he lent him his beast to ride as long as he pleased during a journey and then to return it to him: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) and he lent him the colt to ride upon its vertebræ [or back]. (Msb.) b2: Hence, افقرهُ أَرْضَهُ (tropical:) He lent him his land for sowing. (TA, from a trad.) b3: أَفْقَرَكَ الصَّيْدُ means The object of the chase has enabled thee to have its vertebræ within thy power; therefore shoot it, or shoot at it: (O, TA:) or has enabled thee to have its side [which is sometimes termed فُقْر] within thy power: (K:) or has become near to thee. (TA.) [The Khaleefeh] El-Weleed the son of Yezeed the son of 'AbdEl-Melik is related to have said, أَفْقَرَ بَعْدَ مَسْلَمَةَ الصَّيْدُ لِمَنْ رَمَى i. e. The object of the chase has enabled the shooter at it to have its vertebræ within his power after Meslemeh; meaning that, since the death of his paternal uncle Meslemeh, the territory of the Muslims had become assailable to him who might attempt it. (TA.) A3: افقرهُ also signifies He (i. e. God, S, O, K, or a man, Msb) rendered him فَقِير [meaning poor, or needy, &c.]. (S, O, Msb, K.) A4: مَا أَفْقَرَهُ [i. e. How poor, or needy, &c., is he!] and مَا أَغْنَاهُ [which has the contr. meaning] are [said to be] anomalous; for their [respective primitive] verbs are اِفْتَقَرَ and اِسْتَغْنَى, from either of which the verb of wonder is not properly [or regularly] formed. (S, O. [But see 8.]) 5 ظَهَرَ قَبْلَنَا نَاسٌ يَتَفَقَّرُونَ العِلْمَ, occurring in a trad., as some relate it, means [There appeared before us men] eliciting what was recondite, or obscure, of knowledge, and opening what was closed thereof; from فَقَرْتُ البِئْرَ meaning “ I dug the well to draw forth the water: ” but the reading commonly known is [يَتَقَفَّرُونَ, q. v.,] with the ق before the ف. (IAth, TA.) b2: See also 2.6 تفاقر He feigned the lowliness, or submissiveness, of poverty, humbling, or abasing, himself with men. (K * and TA in art. بأس.) 8 افتقر He clave, slit, or rent; and opened: [see also 1, fourth sentence:] hence its usage in a trad. of 'Omar, in which, after his saying that Imra-el-Keys was the foremost of the poets, and had made the source of poetry to well forth abundantly to them, [see خَسَفَ,] he is related to have added, وَافْتَقَرَ عَنْ مَعانٍ عُورٍأَصَحَّ بَصَرٍ: in saying this, he attributed a sound and an opened sight to the poetry, [which he thus personified,] and in like manner he described obscure and occult meanings by applying to them the epithet عُور [generally meaning “ blind of one eye ”]: he meant that Imra-el-Keys had made the meanings of poetry clear and perspicuous, and unveiled them, and shunned substitution and obscure diction: عَنْ with what is [to be understood as] antecedently connected with it occupies the place of a noun in the accus. case as a denotative of state: it is as though he said, فَتَحَ لِلشِّعْرِأَصَحَّ بَصَرٍ مُجَاوِزًا لِلْمَعَانِى العُورِمُتَخَطِيًا لَهَا [lit. He opened, to poetry, a most sound vision, passing over half-blind meanings]. (O.) A2: Also, (O,) He was, or became, فَقِير [meaning poor, or needy, &c.]; (S, O, Msb, K, &c.;) and so ↓ فَقِرَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. فَقَرٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ فَقُرَ, aor. ـُ (K;) or they said افتقر, (Sb, Msb, TA,) like as they said اِشْتَدَّ, (Sb, TA,) but they did not say فَقُرَ, (Sb, Msb, TA,) like as they did not say شَدُدَ, (Sb, TA,) افتقر serving them instead of فَقُرَ; (Msb;) nor did they use any unaugmented form of this verb. (Sb, TA.) b2: And one says, افتقر إِلَيْهِ He, or it, wanted, needed, or required, him, or it; [a phrase of frequent occurrence; like فَقِيرٌ إِلَيْهِ;] i. q. اِحْتَاجَ اليه. (TA in art. حوج.) 10 استفقر بَعِيرًا [He borrowed, or asked for the loan of, the back of a camel, for carrying a burden or for riding]. (See أَرْمَلُ.) فَقْرٌ and ↓ فُقْرٌ signify the same, (S, O, Msb, K,) but the latter is bad, (Lth, TA,) and sometimes they said ↓ فُقُرٌ, (MF, TA,) Poverty, want, or need; contr. of غِنًى: (K:) or the state of a man when he has [only] what suffices for his household, or those who dwell with him and whose maintenance is incumbent on him: (ISd, K:) [other meanings are indicated by explanations of the epithet فَقِيرٌ, q. v.:] ↓ مَفاَقِرُ [signifying needs, or wants,] is said by some to be a pl. of فَقرٌ, anomalous, like مَشَابِهُ [pl. of شَبَهٌ] and مَلَامِحُ [pl. of لَمْحَةٌ]: or it may be a pl. of ↓ مُفْقَرٌ, an inf. n. of أَفْقَرَهُ; or pl. of ↓ مُفْقِرٌ; or it has no sing.: (TA:) you say, ↓ سَدَّ اللّٰهُ مَفَاقِرَهُ God rendered him, or may God render him, free from want; (S, Msb, K;) [lit.] God supplied, or may God supply, his various needs, or wants. (S, K.) b2: And فَقْرٌ signifies also Anxiety; or disquietude, or trouble, of mind: pl. فُقُورٌ: (O, K, TA:) one says, شَكَى إِلَيْهِ فُقُورَهُ He complained to him of his anxieties; &c.: and it means also, his circumstances, and wants: (TA:) [for,] accord. to IAar, the phrase فُقُورُ النَّفْسِ is like شُقُورُهَا. (O.) A2: See also فَقْرَةٌ.

فُقْرٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

A2: Also The side: pl. فُقَرٌ, (K, TA,) which is extr. [in respect of analogy]: mentioned by Kr. (TA.) [See أَفْقَرَكَ الصَّيْدُ.]

فَقُرٌ: see فَقْرَةٌ.

فَقِرٌ: see فَقِيرٌ, former half, in two places.

فُقُرٌ: see فَقْرٌ.

فَقْرَةٌ: see فَقَارٌ.

A2: Accord. to the K, it signifies also A certain plant; and its pl. [or rather the coll. gen. n.] is ↓ فَقْرٌ: but the sing. [or n. un.] is correctly ↓ فَقُرَةٌ, with fet-h and then damm, mentioned by Sb as a word of a rare form, of which the pl. [or coll. gen. n.] is ↓ فَقُرٌ, as it has no broken pl.; and expl. by Th. (TA.) فُقْرَةٌ A hollow dug in the ground: pl. فُقَرٌ. (O, K, TA.) b2: And The [incision termed] قُرْمَة (IAar, O, TA) that is made in the nose [or muzzle] (IAar, O) of the camel, (IAar, O, TA,) [in order to render him tractable, (see 1, near the beginning,)] after which [if necessary] another is made, [above it,] and then another, until he becomes gentle: (IAar, O:) pl. [of pauc. أَفْقُرٌ, occurring in the L, evidently as a pl. of فُقْرَةٌ in this sense, and, of mult., but also used as a pl. of pauc.,] فُقَرٌ. (O, TA.) Hence the saying of 'Aacute;ïsheh, in relation to [the murder of] 'Othmán, [app. alluding to its involving three violations, namely, the violation of the sacredness of the city in which it was perpetrated and of the month in which it occurred and of the person of the Khaleefeh,] بَلَغْتُمْ مِنْهُ الفُقَرَ الثَّلَاثَ, meaning (tropical:) Ye have done to him the like of your deed to the camel above mentioned [upon which ye have inflicted the three فُقَر]: thus expl. by Az. (TA.) Accord. to AHeyth, فُقَرٌ means (assumed tropical:) Great, or grievous, or formidable, events. (O.) And the three فُقَرَات of the son of Adam are said to be (assumed tropical:) The day of birth and the day of death and the day of resurrection. (O.) b3: Also The part, of a shirt, that is the place into which the head is inserted. (K.) A2: Also Nearness. (K.) And one says, هُوَ مِنِّى فُقْرَةً, meaning He is near to me. (K, * TA.) A3: See also مُفْقِرٌ.

فِقْرَةٌ: see فَقَارٌ. b2: [Hence] الفِقَرَاتُ is a name of (assumed tropical:) The star [or stars] in the خَرَزَات [meaning joints of the tail] of Scorpio. (Kzw in his descr. of Scorpio.) And فِقَرٌ signifies (assumed tropical:) Certain ornaments, moulded, or fashioned, in the form of the vertebra of the back: (A, KT, TA, and Har p. 34:) one of which is termed فِقْرَةٌ. (Har ibid.) b3: and hence, (KT,) or as being likened to a vertebra of the back, (S, O, KT,) (tropical:) The best verse in an ode is termed فِقْرَةٌ. (S, O, K, KT.) b4: and hence, as being likened to the best verse in an ode, فِقْرَهٌ means (tropical:) (tropical:) Any choice phrase or sentence: (KT:) one says, مَا أَحْسَنَ فِقَرَ كَلَامِهِ i. e. [How beautiful are] the points, or points of wit, (سُكَت [pl. of نُكْتَةٌ]) of his speech, or language! (A, TA.) b5: And in like manner it is applied to signify (assumed tropical:) The end [or final word] of every verse of an ode and [of every clause] of a خُطْبَة [which is in rhyming prose]. (Msb.) b6: And (assumed tropical:) [A pair of clauses of rhyming prose, both ending with the same rhyme; i. e.] the فِقْرَة is that which in [rhyming] prose is like the verse in poetry. (Kull p. 208.) A2: Also A piece of land, such as is termed قَرَاح [q. v.], for sowing. (O, K.) A3: and A thing that serves as a mark, or sign, (Lth, K, TA,) to men contending, or competing, in shooting, or casting, (Lth,) such as a mountain, (K,) or such as a hill, or a hollow dug in the ground, (Lth.) or a هَدَف [or butt, &c.], (Lth, K, TA,) and the like: (K, TA:) they say, in such contending or competing, أُرَامِيكَ مِنْ أَدْنَى فِقْرَةٍ [I will contend, or compete, with thee in shooting, or casting, from the nearest فقرة] and مِنْ أَبْعَدِ فِقْرَةٍ

[from the furthest فقرة]. (Lth, TA.) فَقُرَةٌ: see فَقْرَةٌ.

فُقْرَى [The lending one a camel, &c., to be ridden or to carry a burden;] a subst. [similar to رُقْبَى and عُمْرَى] from أَفْقَرَهُ نَاقَتَهُ (S) or بَعِيرَهُ. (K.) فَقَارٌ The vertebra of the back; (S, * Msb, K;) the bones of the spine, which are set in regular order, one upon another, from the part where is the كَاهِل to the عَجْب: (K, * TA:) [it is sometimes used as a sing., as in the S and O and K voce طَبَقٌ: but properly] the sing., (Msb, K,) or n. un., (S, TA,) is ↓ فَقَارَةٌ, (S, Msb, K,) for which one should not say فِقَارَةٌ, with kesr: (ISk, Msb:) and ↓ فِقْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is فِقَرٌ and فِقْرَاتٌ and فِقَرَاتٌ and فِقِرَاتٌ, signifies the same as فَقَارَةٌ; (S, Msb, K:) as does also ↓ فَقْرَةٌ. (K.) b2: [Hence,] فَقَارُ الجَوْزَآءِ (assumed tropical:) The three very bright stars [d and e and z] disposed obliquely in the midst of the constellation الجوزآء [i. e. Orion]. (Har p. 456. [See art. جوز.) b3: And [hence also,] ذُو الفَقَارِ (assumed tropical:) the name of A [celebrated] sword of the Prophet, (S, O, K,) and afterwards, of 'Alee: it had previously belonged to El-'As Ibn-Munebbih, who was slain at Bedr, (O, K,) by 'Alee, by whom his sword was given to the Apostle: (O:) accord. to Abu-l-'Abbás [i. e. Th]. it was thus named because there were in it small beautiful hollows [app. meaning small scallops in the edge, such as some modern swords have, for the more easy cleaving of coats of mail]: it is also, accord. to some, called ذو الفِقَار; but this is said by El-Khattábee to be vulgar. (TA.) b4: It (i. e. ذُوالفَقَارِ) is also used, metaphorically, as meaning (tropical:) The spear. (TA.) فَقِيرٌ A hollow that is dug around the shoot, or offset, of a palm-tree, when it is planted: (S, O:) or a well [or the like thereof] in which the shoot, or offset, of a palm-tree is planted, (K, TA,) then alluvial soil with dung of camels or the like is pressed down around it: (TA:) pl. فُقُرٌ, with two dammehs: (K, TA:) or this [app. the pl., but accord. to the TA the sing.,] signifies wells, (K, TA,) three, and more, together, (TA,) or communicating, one with another.

(Mgh.) b2: And A plain, or soft, place, in which wells are dug forming a regular series. (O, K,) And رَكِيَّةٌ فَقِيرَةٌ signifies A dug well. (TA.)

(TA.) b3: Also The mouth, (K, TA,) or the place whence the water issues, (S, O, TA,) of a subterranean channel, or conduit: (S, * O, * K, * TA:) pl. as above. (TA.) b4: And it is said to signify A [hollowed] trunk of a palm-tree, by means of which one ascends to an upper chamber: but the word commonly known in this sense is نَقِيرٌ [q. v.], with ن. (IAth, TA.) A2: As an epithet applied to a camel, it means Having an incision [or two incisions or three] made in his nose [or muzzle] in the manner explained in the first paragraph of this art.; and so ↓ مَفْقُورٌ. (K, TA.) A3: Also, applied to a man, (TA,) Having the vertebræ of the back broken; (S, O, K, * TA;) and so ↓ فَقِرٌ and ↓ مَفْقُورٌ: (K:) or having a complaint of the vertebræ of his back, arising from fracture or from disease: (Msb:) or having his vertebræ pulled out from his back, so that his spine is interrupted: (T, L:) and ↓ فَقِرٌ, a man having a complaint of his vertebræ: (S, O, TA:) and فقير and ↓ مَفْقُورٌ, a man afflicted [lit. having the vertebræ of his back broken] by a calamity.

A4: Hence, as though having the vertebræ of his back broken, (IDrst, TA in art. جبر,) [but said to be irregularly formed from اِفْتَقَرَ, like مَا أَفْقَرَهُ, q. v.,] Poor: or needy; contr. of غَنِىٌّ; (as implied in the K;) having [only] what suffices for his household, or those who dwell with him and whose maintenance is incumbent an him: (ISd, K:) or one who finds food sufficient to sustain life: (K:) or one who possesses only what is sufficient for life: (ISk, S, K: *) or one whose property is, or has become, little: further expl. in art. سكن: (Msb:) or one who has what to eat; (Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà;) differing from مِسْكِينٌ, which signifies one who possesses nothing; altogether destitute: (Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà, ISk, S, O, K:) or both mean destitute, i. e. possessing nothing: (IAar, S, O:) Aboo-Haneefeh holds the opinion of ISk, (TA,) who cites the following verse from a poem of Er-Rá'ee in praise of 'Abd-El-Melik Ibn-Marwán; أَمَّا الفَقِيرُ الَّذِى كَانَتْ حَلُوبَتُهُ وَفْقَ العِيَالِ فَلَمْ يُتْرَكْ لَهُ سَبَدُ

[As to the فقير whose milch camel was sufficient for his household, and nothing (more) was left to him:] (S, O, TA:) As says that the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير: and Yoo says that the فقير is better in condition than the مسكين; and adds, I asked an Arab of the desert, Art thou فقير? and he answered, No, by God, but rather مسكين: (S, O, TA:) or the former signifies needy, needing, or wanting; a needer; and the latter, one abased by need or want, or otherwise; (Ibn-'Arafeh, O, K;) who, if abased by need or want, may lawfully receive of the poor-rate; but if abased otherwise than by need or want, he may not receive of the poorrate; for he may be rich: (Ibn-'Arafeh:) [الفَقِيرُ

إِلَى اللّٰهِ the needer of God, i. e., of God's help, &c., and الفَقِيرُ إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللّٰهِ the needer of the mercy of God, are epithets which a man often writes before his name:] it is said in the Kur [xxxv. 16], أَنْتُمُ الفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى اللّٰهِ وَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْغَنِىُّ الْحَمِيدُ, which is explained as meaning Ye are the needers, or they who stand in need, of God: [and God, He is the Self-sufficient, the Praised in every case:] (O, * TA: [see also the Kur xxviii. 24:]) or فقير signifies one who is crippled, or deprived of the power of motion, by disease, or who suffers from a protracted disease, being weak, and who has no trade; and one who has a mean trade that does not suffice for his need; and مسكين, a beggar, who has a trade that stands in some stead, (حِرْفَةٌ تَقَعُ مَوْقِعًا,) but does not cause him and his household to be without want; (Esh-Sháfi'ee, T, O, K;) so that the former is in a harder condition than the latter accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee; (T;) and it seems that he is called فقير because of crippleness, or protracted disease, which prevents his freely employing himself in making gain: (Khálid Ibn-Yezeed:) As also says that the latter is in a better condition than the former; (S, O, K;) and so says Ahmad Ibn-'Obeyd: (TA:) and as to the verse of Er-Rá'ee, cited above, it is said to mean that the person there mentioned had a milch camel in former times, but possessed it no longer, and that لَمْ يُتْرَكْ لَهُ سَبَد means that nothing was left to him: (Mgh:) the pl. of the latter epithet is also applied in the Kur xviii. 78 to men possessing a ship, or boat, which is worth a considerable sum; (Mgh;) whence Aboo-Bekr holds the opinion of As to be correct: (TA:) but it is urged in reply, that these men were hirers, not owners, of the vessel, as appears from one reading, [app. يُعَمَّلُونَ for يَعْمَلُونَ,] with teshdeed: (TA:) or the former signifies one who has neither property nor gain that suffices for his need; and the latter, one who has property or gain not sufficient for him: or, as some say, the converse is the truth: (Bd in ix. 60:) or both signify the same, (IAar, S, K,) one who possesses nothing: (IAar, S:) or when they are used together, they differ in signification; and when used separately, they both [sometimes] signify the same: (El-Bedr El-Karáfee:) [see more voce مِسْكِينٌ:] fem. with ة: (Msb, K:) pl. masc. فُقَرَآءُ; (Msb, K;) pl. fem. فَقَائِرُ, (K,) and فُقَرَآءُ (Lh, Msb, TA) like the masc., [said to be] the only instance of the kind except سُفَهَآءُ as pl. of سَفِيهَةٌ; (Msb;) [though فُقَهَآءُ, and perhaps some other instances, should be added;] but ISd says, I know not how this is. (TA.) فَقَارَةٌ: see فَقَارٌ.

فَيْقَرٌ: see the next paragraph.

فَاقِرَةٌ [An act that breaks, or will break, the vertebræ of the back: and hence,] (assumed tropical:) a calamity, or misfortune; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ فَيْقَرٌ: (S, O, K:) or, accord. to Lth and others, such as breaks the vertebræ of the back: (TA:) pl. فَوَاقِرُ. (Har p. 399.) عَمِلَ بِهِ الفَاقِرَةَ is a prov., meaning He did to him an act breaking, or that would break, his vertebræ; or a calamity, or misfortune, as in the Kur lxxv. 25: (Meyd:) [or, accord. to J, it app. means he did to him that which would render him tractable; for he says,] it is from the phrase فَقَرْتُ أَنْفَ البَعِيرِ. (S. [This phrase in the S has been strangely misunderstood by Golius; who has consequently, after mentioning the meaning “ infortunium,” added “ et Habena seu capistrum, de quo in Conj. 1. ”]) b2: And [hence] الفَاقِرَةُ signifies (assumed tropical:) The resurrection. (TA.) أَفْقَرُ [More, and most, poor or needy &c.: said to be formed irregularly from اِفْتَقَرَ, not from an unaugmented form of the verb; like مَا أَفْقَرَهُ]. (See Ham pp. 573-4.) مُفْقَرٌ: see فَقْرٌ.

مُفْقِرٌ, applied to a man, (O, TA,) Strong (O, K, TA) in the vertebræ of the back; (TA;) and thus ↓ مُفَقَّرٌ, applied to a camel; and [in like manner] ↓ ذُوفُقْرَةٍ, so applied, strong to be ridden: (O, TA:) and مُفْقِرٌ signifies also strong in the back; applied to a colt: (TA:) and, thus applied, that has attained to the time when he may be ridden. (K.) b2: And [hence] one says, إِنَّهُ لَمُفْقِرٌ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ (assumed tropical:) Verily he is equal to this affair, possessing firmness of mind, or strength, or power, for it; (ISh, O, L, K;) and لهذا العَزْمِ for this determination, or resolution; and لهذا القِرْنِ for this adversary, or opponent. (L.) And ↓ رَجُلٌ مُفَقَّرٌ (assumed tropical:) A man sufficient for everything that he is ordered to do; (O, K, TA;) as thought by reason of the strength of his vertebræ. (TA.) A2: See also فَقْرٌ.

1 عَشِقَ, aor. ـَ (S, O, Msb, K, [accord. to the TA, said in the Msb to be like ضَرَبَ, but in my copy of the Msb it is correctly said to be of the class of تَعِبَ,]) inf. n. عِشْقٌ and عَشَقٌ, (S, O, K,) the latter mentioned by Fr, and said by Ibn-EsSarráj to be thus by poetic license, and with two fet-hahs because two kesrehs are rare in nouns, (S, O,) or the former is a simple subst., and the latter is the inf. n., (Msb,) [and app. مَعْشَقٌ also,] He loved (another, S, O, K) excessively; (IF, S, O, Msb, K;) [or passionately; or with amorous desire; or, agreeably with explanations of عِشْقٌ below, admiringly; or with blindness to defects in the object of his love; or with a disease of the nature of melancholia;] and ↓ تعشّق as trans. is syn. with عَشِقَ as such. (TA.) [See also عَاشِقٌ.]

b2: And عَشِقَتْ said of a she-camel, She was, or became, vehemently desirous of the stallion. (AA, TA.) b3: And عَشِقَ بِهِ He, or it, stuck to him, or it; (O, K;) as also عَسِقَ به. (O.) 2 عشّقهُ is used in the present day as meaning He made him to be affected with عِشْق; but is probably post-classical.]5 تعشّق He affected عِشْق: (S, O, K: * [in the K, تعشّقهُ, in which the pronoun app. refers to العِشْق, is erroneously put for تعشّق:]) or he showed, or exhibited, عِشْق. (KL.) And He was, or became, عَاشِق. (KL.) A2: See also 1.

عِشْقٌ (IF, S, O, Msb, K) [generally held to be an inf. n.] and ↓ مَعْشَقٌ [likewise app. an inf. n.] (O, K) Excessive love; (IF, S, O, Msb, K;) [or passionate love; or amorous desire:] or attackment to women: (IF, Msb:) or the lover's admiration (عَجَب [for عُجْبُ in the CK is a mistranscription for عَجَبُ]) of the beloved; and it may be in chasteness and in immorality; (K;) or عِشْقٌ may be in chasteness and حُبٌّ may be in immorality: (TA:) or blindness of the sense to the faults, or defects, of the beloved: or a disease of the nature of melancholia (مَرَضٌ وَسْوَاسِىٌّ), which one procures to himself by making his thought to exercise absolute power over the approval of certain forms: (K:) Th, being asked respecting الحُبّ and العِشْق, which of them is the more commendable, said, الحُبّ, because in العِشْق is excess: (TA:) [see also حُبٌّ:] Ibn-Seenà, [whom we commonly call Avicenna,] in a treatise on العِشْق, [regarding it as meaning natural propension,] says that it is not peculiar to the human species, but pervades all existing things of the celestial and the elemental and the vegetable and the mineral and the animal, and that its meaning is not perceived nor known, and is rendered more obscure by explanation thereof: (MF, TA:) it is said in the A that العِشْق is derived from العَشَقَةُ, which means the [plant commonly called] لَبْلَاب, because it twines upon trees, and cleaves to them. (TA.) عَشَقٌ The لَبْلَاب [a species of dolichos, the dolichos lablab of Linn.]; one of which is called عَشَقَةٌ: IDrd says, the [common] people assert that the عَشَقَة is the لَبْلَابَة: (O:) accord. to Zj, (TA,) عَشَقَةٌ signifies a certain tree [or plant] that becomes green, and then becomes slender and yellow: (K, TA:) and عَشَقٌ is its pl.

(TA.) عُشُقٌ, with two dammehs, A camel that keeps to the female which he covers and which desires none but him. (IAar, TA.)

(TA.) b2: [Hence,] عَاشِقُ الأَبْكَارِ an appellation of The insect called حُرْقُوص [q. v.]; because of its entering into the فَرْج of the virgin girl. (IB, TA voce حرقوص.) مَعْشَقٌ: see عِشْقٌ.

عق

1 عَقَّ, (Msb, K, TA,) aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. عَقٌّ, (Mgh, O, Msb, TA,) He clave, split, slit, ripped, or rent; (Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA;) and he cut. (Mgh, O, TA.) You say, عَقَّ ثَوْبَهُ He slit, ripped, or rent, his garment. (Msb.) and عُقَّتْ تَمِيمَتُهُ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ [His amulet was cut off among the sons of such a one]; said of a boy when he has attained to the prime of manhood, and become strong, with a tribe; originating from the fact that as long as the boy was an infant, his mother hung upon him amulets to preserve him from the evil eye; and when he became full-grown, they were cut off from him: whence the saying of a poet, بِلَادٌ بِهَا عَقَّ الشَّبَابُ تَمِيمَتِى

وَأَوَّلُ أَرْضٍ مَسَّ جِلْدِى تُرَابُهَا [A country in which the attaining to the prime of manhood cut off my amulet, and the first land of which the dust touched my skin]. (TA.) b2: and [hence,] عَقَّتِ الرِّيحُ المُزْنَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, The wind drew forth a shower of fine rain from the مزن [or clouds containing water]; as though it rent them. (TA.) And عُقَّتِ السَّحَابَةُ The cloud poured forth its water; [as though it were rent;] and ↓ اِنْعَقَّت [means the same]; (TA;) and ↓ اعتقّت [likewise]. (O.) b3: and عَقَّ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ, (S, Msb,) or عَنِ المَوْلُودِ, (K,) aor. ـُ (S, Msb, TA) and عَقِّ, (TA,) inf. n. عَقٌّ, (S, Msb,) He slaughtered as a sacrifice (S, Msb, K, TA) for his child, (S, Msb,) or for the new-born child, (K,) a sheep or goat, (T, Msb, TA,) [generally the latter,] on the seventh day after the birth. (T, S, Msb, TA.) And He shaved the [hair termed] عَقِيقَة [q. v.] (S, TA) of his child, (S,) or of the new-born child. (TA.) b4: And عَقَّ بِالسَّهْمِ He shot the arrow towards the sky; and that arrow was called عَقِيقَةٌ; (S, O, K;) and it was the arrow of self-excuse: they used to do thus in the Time of Ignorance [on the occasion of a demand for blood-revenge]; and if the arrow returned smeared with blood, they were not content save with the retaliation of slaughter; but if it returned clean, they stroked their beards, and made reconciliation on the condition of the bloodwit; the stroking of the beards being a sign of reconciliation: the arrow, however, as IAar says, did not [ever] return otherwise than clean: (S, O:) the origin was this: a man of the tribe was slain, and the slayer was prosecuted for his blood; whereupon a company of the chief men [of the family of the slayer] collected themselves together to the heirs [who claimed satisfaction for the blood] of the slain, and offered the bloodwit, asking forgiveness for the blood; and if the heir [who claimed satisfaction and who acted for himself and his coheirs] was a strong man, impatient of injury, he refused to take the bloodwit; but if weak, he consulted the people of his tribe, and then said to the petitioners, “We have, between us and our Creator, a sign denoting command and prohibition: we take an arrow, and set it on a bow, and shoot it towards the sky; and if it return to us smeared with blood, we are forbidden to take the bloodwit, and are not content save with the retaliation of slaughter; but if it return clean, as it went up, we are commanded to take the bloodwit: ” so they made reconciliation; for this arrow never returned otherwise than clean; and thus they had an excuse in the opinion of the ignorant of them. (L, TA.) A poet (S, O, TA) of the family of the slain, said by some to be of Hudheyl, by IB to be El-As'ar El-Joafee, who was absent from this reconciliation, (TA,) says, عَقُّوا بِسَهْمٍ ثُمَّ قَالُوا صَالِحُوا يَا لَيْتَنِى فِى القَوْمِ إِذْ مَسَحُوا الِلُّحَى

[They shot an arrow towards the sky; them they said, “Make ye reconciliation: ” would that I were among the party when they stroked the beards]: (S, O, TA:) or, as some relate it, the first word is عَقَّوْا, with fet-h to the ق; which belongs to the class of unsound verbs [i. e. to art. عقى]. (S, O.) b5: One says also, عَقَّ وَالِدَهُ, (S, O, K,) or أَبَاهُ, (Msb,) aor. ـُ (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. عُقُوقٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and مَعَقَّةٌ (S, O, K) and عَقٌّ, (TA,) He was undutiful, disobedient, refractory, or ill-mannered, to his parent, or father; contr. of بَرَّهُ; (K;) he broke his compact of obedience to his parent, or father; (TA;) he disobeyed his father; and failed, or neglected, to behave to him in a good, or comely, manner. (Msb.) And عَقَّ الرَّحِمَ, (TA, and Ham p. 93,) like قَطَعَهَا [i. e. He severed the tie, or ties, of relationship, by unkind behaviour to his kindred]. (Ham ib.) and عَقَّ [alone], aor. ـُ inf. n. عُقُوقٌ, [He was undutiful, &c.; or he acted undutifully, &c.; or] he contravened, or opposed, him whom he was under an obligation to obey. (Har p. 158.) عُقُوقُ الوَالِدَيْنِ [Undutiful treatment, &c., of the two parents] is said in a trad. to be one of the great sins. (O.) And it is said in a prov., العُقُوقُ

أَحَدُ الثُّكْلَيْنِ [Undutiful treatment of a parent is one of the two sorts of being bereft of a child]: or, as some relate it, العُقُوقُ ثُكْلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَثْكَلْ [Undutiful treatment of a parent is (like) the bereavement of him who is not (really) bereft of his child]: i. e. he whom his children have treated undutifully (مِنْ عَقَّهُ وَلَدُهُ) is as though he were bereft of his children although they are living. (O.) [See also 3: and 4.] b6: Hence, from عُقُوقُ الوَالِدَيْنِ, the verb is metaphorically used in the saying, in a trad., مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ عَائِشَةَ مَثَلُ العَيْنِ فِى الرَّأْسِ تُؤْذِى صَاحِبَهَا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَعُقَّهَا إِلَّا بِالَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهَا (tropical:) [The similitude of you and of 'Áïsheh is that of the eye in the head, when it hurts its owner, and he cannot treat it severely save with that which is good for it: app. meaning that her severity was for the good of the objects thereof]. (TA.) A2: عَقَّ, intrans., said of lightning: see 7.

A3: عَقَّتْ said of a mare, and of an ass: see 4.

A4: عَقَّتِ الدَّلْوُ, inf. n. عَقُّ, means The bucket came up full from the well; and some of the Arabs say عَقَّت as having تَعْقِيَةٌ for its inf. n.; but it is [said to be] originally ↓ عَقَّقَت, the third ق being changed into ى, [which is then in this case suppressed,] like as they said تَظَنَّيْتُ from الظَّنُّ: [it is, however, mentioned in the TA in art. عقو also, and there expl. as meaning it rose in the well turning round: and from what here follows, it appears to mean it rose swiftly, cleaving the air:] a poet, cited by IAar, says, of a bucket, عَقَّتْ كَمَا عَقَّتْ دَلُوفُ العِقْبَانٌ meaning It clave [the air of] the well, rising swiftly, like the hastening of the swift eagle in its flight towards the prey.

(S, O.) [Another meaning is suggested by an explanation of عَقِيقَةٌ (q. v.) in relation to lightning.] b4: انعقّ الغُبَارُ i. q. سَطَعَ [app. as meaning The dust spread, or diffused itself]: (IF, O, K:) or اِنْشَقَّ وَسَطَعَ [became cleft, and diffused itself].

(i. e. the pl. of عِقَّةٌ) is عِقَقٌ: (O, K:) [the pl. of عَقِيقَةٌ and عَقِيقٌ is عَقَائِقُ: a law of the Sunneh requires that the عَقِيقَة of an infant should be weighed, and its weight in silver be given to the poor: (and Herodotus, in ii. 65, mentions a similar custom as obtaining among the Ancient Egyptians:)] when the hair has once fallen from the young [by its being cut], the term عَقِيقَةٌ ceases to be applied to it: so says Lth: (O, TA:) but it occurs in a trad. applied to hair as being likened to the hair of a recently-born infant. (TA.) b6: Hence, (S, O,) it is applied also to The sheep, or goat, [generally the latter,] that is slaughtered (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) as a sacrifice for the recentlyborn infant (S, Mgh, Msb) on the occasion of the shaving of the infant's hair (O, K) on the seventh day after his birth, (S, Msb,) and of which the limbs are divided, and cooked with water and salt, and given as food to the poor: (Lth, TA:) Z holds it to be thus called from the same word as applied to the hair: but it is said [by some] to be so called because it is slaughtered by cutting the windpipe and gullet and the two external jugular veins: (TA:) the Prophet disallowed this appellation, (Mgh, Msb,) as being of evil omen, (Mgh,) or as though he saw them to regard it as of evil omen, (Msb,) and desired them to use نَسِيكَةٌ in its stead; (Mgh, Msb, TA;) saying I like not العُقُوق. (TA.) b7: عَقِيقَةُ البَرْقِ signifies What remains [for an instant] in the clouds, of the rays, or beams, of lightning; (Lth, O, K;) as also ↓ العُقَقُ; (K;) which, as well as العَقِيقَةُ, is also expl. as meaning lightning which one sees in the midst of the clouds, resembling a drawn sword: (TA:) or عَقِيقَةُ البَرْقِ signifies lightning in a state of commotion in the clouds: (S, O:) or lightning extending in an elongated form in the side, or breadth, of the clouds: (TA:) or lightning that cleaves the clouds, and extends high, into the midst of the sky, without going to the right and left: (S in art. خفو:) or, as expl. by Aboo-Sa'eed, a flash of lightning that has spread in the horizon: (O, voce شَقِيقَةٌ:) a sword is likened thereto: (S, O, K:) and [the pl.] عَقَائِقُ is a name for swords: (O, K:) ↓ عَقِيقٌ, also, signifies lightning. (TA.) b8: And عَقِيقَةٌ signifies also An arrow shot towards the sky; (S, O, K;) the arrow of self-excuse; which was used in the manner described in the explanation of the phrase عَقَّ بِالسَّهْمِ [q. v.]. (S, O.) b9: See also عَقُوقٌ, last signification.

(Msb.) [See also صُرَدٌ.]

عَاقٌّ Undutiful, disobedient, refractory, or illmannered, to his parent, or father; (S, * O, * K;) breaking, or one who breaks, his compact of obedience to his parent, or father; (TA;) disobeying, or disobedient to, his father; and failing, or neglecting, to behave to him in a good, or comely, manner; (Msb;) [and severing, or one who severs, the tie, or ties, of relationship, by unkind behaviour to his kindred; (see its verb;)] and ↓ عَقٌّ signifies the same; (O, K;) as also ↓ عُقَقٌ, (S, O, TA,) but in an intensive sense, altered from عَاقٌّ, like غُدَر and فُسَق from غَادِر and فَاسِق, in the K erroneously said to be عَقَقٌ; (TA;) and ↓ عُقُقٌ; (L, and TA as from the K, but not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the CK;) which last signifies also [as a pl.] men severing, or who sever, the ties of relationship, by unkind behaviour to their kindred; and also remote, or distant, enemies: (TA:) [and ↓ عَقُوقٌ is app. used (as Freytag asserts it to be) in the sense of عَاقٌّ in the Fákihet el-Khulatà, p. 55, 1. 7 from the bottom:] the pl. of عَاقٌّ is عَقَقَةٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) like كَفَرَةٌ, (S,) and عُقَّقٌ, like رُكَّعٌ, a form used by Ru-beh, (O,) and أَعِقَّةٌ, which is an extr. [meaning anomalous] pl. (Ham p. 93.) ↓ ذُقٌ عُقَقُ, (S, O,) in a trad., (S,) said by Aboo-Sufyán to Hamzeh on the day of Ohod, when he passed by him slain, (S, * O,) means ذُقٌ جَزَآءَ فِعْلِكَ [Taste thou the recompense of thy deed], (S,) or ذُقِ القَتْلَ [taste thou slaughter], (O,) يَا عَاقُّ [O undutiful, &c.; or, accord. to the explanation in the TA mentioned above, عُقَقُ, for يَا عُقَقُ, means O very undutiful, &c.]. (S, O.) عَوَاقُّ النَّخْلِ The shoots, or offsets, of the palmtrees, that grow forth therewith. (O, K.) [See also عِقَّانٌ.]

أَعَقُّ مِنْ ضَبٍّ [More undutiful, &c., to kindred, than a lizard of the species called ضبّ] is a prov. [mentioned, but not expl., in the O]: IAar says, the female [of the ضبّ] is meant; and its عُقُوق consists in its eating its young ones. (TA.) [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 152-3.

(MF, TA.) A2: Also i. q. سَاسَبٌ [or سَيْسَبٌ (q. v. in art. سسب), if not a mistranscription for this last], i. e. A kind of tree, from which arrows, or, as in the book of AHn, camels' saddles (رِحَال), are made: Ru-beh says, [accord. to one reading, another being given in art. سسب, q. v.,] ↓ رَاحَتْ وَرَاحَ كَعَصَا السَّبْسَابِ [She went, and he went, like the rod of the sebsáb, meaning, the arrow]; in which the last word is a dial. var. of السَّبْسَب, or the ا is inserted by poetic license.
