A2: Accord. to some, (M,) in the trad. above referred to, صَفَرٌ signifies The postponing of [the month] El-Moharram, transferring it to Safar: (A'Obeyd, M, K:) [see نَسِىْءٌ:] or it there means the disease called by this name, because they asserted it to be transitive. (K.) A3: Also The intellect, or understanding; or the heart, or mind; syn. رُوعٌ: (M, K: [in the CK رَوْع:]) the inmost part (لُبّ) of the heart. (M, K.)

(TA.) b2: المُصَفِّرَةُ is an appellation applied to Those whose sign [meaning the colour of their ensign] is صُفْرَة; (M, K;) [i. e. whose ensign is yellow;] and is similar to المُحَمِّرَةُ and المُبَيِّضَةُ. (M.) مَصْفُورٌ: see صَافِرٌ, in two places.

A2: Also Hungry; and so ↓ مُصَفَّرٌ. (K.) b2: Of the مَصْفُورَة, (TA,) and ↓ مُصْفَرَة, (Mgh, TA,) or ↓ مُصَفَّرَة, (Mgh,) which one is forbidden to offer in sacrifice, (Mgh, TA,) it is said that the first is Such as has the ear entirely cut off; because its ear-hole is destitute of the ear: and the second, the lean, or emaciated; because devoid of fatness; or, accord. to KT, the first and second have the latter meaning, as though destitute of fat and flesh: (TA:) or the second and third have the latter meaning; or the former meaning: (Mgh:) but accord. to the relation of Sh, what is thus forbidden is termed المَصْغُورَةُ, with غ, having the former of the meanings expl. above; which IAth disapproves: (TA in art. صغر:) or المُصَغَّرَةُ. (Mgh in that art.) A3: Also Having the disease termed صُفَار: (A, TA:) or one from whose belly comes forth yellow water. (TA.)

b4: See also 6.

A2: شَجَبَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. شَجْبٌ, (S,) He (God, S) destroyed him: (S, K:) one says مَا لَهُ شَجَبَهُ اللّٰهُ [What aileth him? May God destroy him!]: thus the verb is trans. as well as intrans. (S.) b2: And He grieved him; or caused him to mourn or lament, or to be sorrowful, sad, or unhappy: (S, K, TA:) [and so, app., ↓ أَشْجَبَهُ; for] one says, أَشْجَبَهُ الأَمْرُ فَشَجِبَ لَهُ, inf. n. شَجَبٌ, i.e. حَزِنَ, [which seems to mean The affair grieved him and he grieved at it,] and [in like manner] أَشْجَبَكَ الأَمْرُ فَشَجِبْتَ.

(L, K. *) Az says, on the authority of an Arab of the desert, that it signifies An old, worn-out, skin for water or milk, of which, sometimes, the mouth is cut off, and fresh ripe dates are put in it. (TA.) Suh says, in the R, that A water-skin was thus called [app. meaning absolutely]. (MF, TA.) And it is said in a trad. that a man of the Ansár used to cool water for the Prophet فى اشجابة [app. a mistranscription for فِى أَشْجَابِهِ, meaning in his water-skins, or worn-out water-skins; and cited to show that أَشْجَابٌ is a pl. of شَجْبٌ, like as أَنْهَارٌ is pl. of نَهْرٌ].

(A.)

فرض

1 فَرَضَهُ, (S, A, O, Msb, &c.,) aor. ـِ (Msb, TA, &c.,) inf. n. فَرْضٌ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) He made a mark in it, or upon it, by notching, or otherwise: (O:) he notched it: made a notch, or an incision, in it; (S, O, Msb, K;) namely, a piece of wood, (Msb,) a زَنْد, [or rather فَرَضَهَا said of a زَنْدَة, from which fire is produced,] and a سِوَاك [or toothstick], (S, O,) and in like manner a bow; (A;) as also [↓ افترضهُ; (see this verb below;) and] ↓ فرّضهُ, inf. n. تَفْرِيضٌ: (K:) or this last signifies he notched it much; or made notches in it; (S, O, TA;) or you say, فَرَضَ قَوْسَهُ and فَرَّضَ قِسِيَّهُ: (A:) and فَرَضَهُ signifies he notched it with his teeth; namely, a tooth-stick: (As:) and he cut it; namely, a thing; or a hard thing; which is said by some to be the primary signification: (TA:) and he (a tailor) cut it out; namely a garment: (Kull p. 275:) and he cut it out and made it round; namely a shield: (TA:) and فَرْضٌ also signifies the cutting, or dividing, lengthwise; cleaving; or the like; applied in a general manner; or the making a trench, or an oblong excavation, in the middle of a grave; فَرَضْتُ لِلْمَيِّتِ signifying I made a trench, or an oblong excavation, in the middle of a grave, for the corpse. (TA.) A2: فَرَضَ لَهُ, [aor. and] inf. n. as above, (K, &c.,) He apportioned to him [a thing]: he appointed to him [a thing]: (Bd in xxxiii. 38, and TA: *) because that which is apportioned, or appointed, [to a person] is cut off from the thing from which it is apportioned, or appointed: (TA:) he made [a thing] lawful, or allowable, to him; (Jel in xxxiii. 38, and Kull in p. 275, and TA; *) relating to a case into which a man has brought himself: (Kull:) this is said to be the meaning when the phrase فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ لَهُ occurs in the Kur: (TA:) he appointed, or assigned, to him a definite portion; (K;) as also له ↓ افرض. (O, L, K.) You say فَرَضَ لَهُ فِى

العَطَآءِ [He appointed, or assigned, to him a definite portion in the gift]. (As, S.) And فَرَضَ لَهُ فِى الدِّيوَانِ (As, S, A) [He appointed, or assigned, to him a definite portion in the register of soldiers or pensioners; or] he registered his stipend therein. (As, A, TA.) And فَرَضَهُ, (S,) and ↓ افرضهُ, (S, K,) He gave to him. (S, O, K.) b2: فَرَضَ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb,) aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (Msb, TA,) also signifies He (God, S, A, Mgh, Msb) made a thing, (S, TA,) or prayer, (A, Mgh,) or statutes or ordinances, (Msb,) obligatory, or binding, syn. أَوْجَبَ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) by a known decree, (TA,) [or He imposed a thing &c.,] عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ on a man, (TA,) or عَلَيْنَا on us; (S;) and so ↓ اِفْتَرَضَ: (S, A, Mgh, O, K:) or فَرْضٌ is like إِيجَابٌ; but the latter is so termed in consideration of its befalling; and the former is so called in consideration of the sentence, or decree, respecting it: (B:) [this is said in books on the law, in explanation of the opinion of Aboo-Haneefeh, as opposed to that of Esh-Sháfi'ee: for] accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee, these two terms are alike; (L, TA;) but accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh, the difference between الوَاجِبُ and الفَرْضُ is like the difference between heaven and earth: (TA:) this distinction, however, is founded upon contested derivations of the two terms: (Kull p. 276:) and it is said that wherever the phrase فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ occurs, it means إِيجَابٌ. (TA.) Also He (the apostle of God) instituted, or prescribed, [a thing as a statute, or an ordinance, or a command or prohibition;] syn. سَنَّ; (O, K;) on the authority of IAar alone: (O, TA:) but accord. to others, he made necessarily obligatory or binding; and this, says Az, is the obvious meaning. (TA.) Also He (a judge) decreed, or adjudged, [TA.) Also He (a judge) decreed, or adjudged, [a thing, as, for instance,] expenses [&c.]. (Msb.) Also He assigned, or appointed, a particular time for doing a thing; or he determined, defined, or limited, a thing as to time, or otherwise; the inf. n., فَرْضٌ, being syn. with تَوْقِيتٌ: (Ibn-'Arafeh, A, O, K:) as in the phrase فَمَنْ فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الحَجَّ [And whoso determineth the performance of the pilgrimage therein]; (Ibn-'Arafeh, O, K;) occurring in the Kur [ii. 193]; and in like manner it is expl. by Ibn-'Arafeh as occurring in xxxiii. 38 of the Kur (O, TA:) but the phrase quoted above is also expl. as meaning and whoso maketh it obligatory, or binding, on himself to perform the pilgrimage therein, by his entering upon the state of إِحْرَام. (TA.) b3: سُورَةٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهَا وَفَرَضْنَاهَا, (K,) in the Kur, [commencing chap. xxiv.,] (TA,) means [This is a chapter which we have revealed and] in which we have set down the obligatory statutes: (O, K:) or in which we have bound you to do according to what is made obligatory therein: (Az, O:) or, as some read, ↓ وَفَرَّضْنَاهَا, (S, O, K, *) meaning and in which we have set down obligatory statutes, (O, L, K,) one after another: (O, K:) or which we have distinctly explained: (Az, S, O, K:) or we have distinctly explained what is in it, of lawful and unlawful [things]. (T, TA.) b4: فَرْضٌ also signifies The act of reading, or reciting. (IAar, O, K.) You say, فَرَضْتُ جُزْئِى I read, or recited, my portion. (O, TA.) A3: فَرُضَ, inf. n. فَرَاضَةٌ, He was, or became, skilled in the فَرَائِض; (A, O, K, TA;) i. e. in the science of the division of inheritances. (TA.) MF says that, accord. to IKtt, the verb is also written فَرَضَ, like كَتَبَ: but [says SM] what I find in his “ Kitáb el-Abniyeh ” is the mention of the two modes of writing in the instance of فرضت said of a cow; and the verb applied to a man he has not mentioned. (TA.) A4: فَرَضَتْ, aor. ـِ inf. n. فُرُوضٌ; and فَرُضَتْ, inf. n. فَرَاضَةٌ; She (a cow) became old, aged, far advanced in age, (S, O, K,) or extremely old. (TA.) b2: And فَرَضَ, inf. n. فُرُوضٌ, signifies It (a thing) became wide; it widened, or dilated. (TA.) 2 فَرَّضَ see 1, first sentence: and again, in the last quarter of the paragraph.

A2: فرّض, inf. n. تَفْرِيضٌ, said of a man, He had a فَرِيضَة [to give from] among his camels. (O, K.) 4 افرض لَهُ: and افرضهُ: see 1, latter part of the first half of the paragraph.

A2: أَفْرَضَتِ المَاشِيَةُ The beasts amounted to the number which rendered it obligatory on the owner to give from among them a فَرِيضَة. (S, O, K. *) 8 افترضهُ: see 1, first sentence. b2: لَمْ يَفْتَرِضْهَا وَلَدٌ, occurring in a trad., means [A child had not been brought forth by her; lit.] لَمْ يَحُزَّهَا, and لَمْ يُوءَتِّرْهَا [a mistake for لم يُوءَشِّرْهَا]. (TA.) A2: See also 1, latter part of the first half of the paragraph.

A3: افترض الجُنْدٌ The soldiers received their stipends. (A, K.) A4: افترض القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, perished, none of them remaining; syn. انقرض.

(TA.) A2: I. q. ↓ مَفْرُوضٌ (A, Msb, K) [Apportioned: appointed; made lawful, or allowable: and] a thing made obligatory, or binding, by God; (S, A, O, K;) for neglecting which one will be punished; like وَاجِبٌ; accord. to EshSháfi'ee; (TA in art. وجب;) because it has marks and limits; (S, O, TA;) said to be from the same word signifying “ a mark,” because it inseparably pertains to a man, like a mark; (TA;) or, as some say, because it necessarily pertains to a man like as does the فَرْض, i. e. notch, to the arrow; (O, TA;) as also ↓ مُفْتَرَضٌ: (TA:) pl. فُرُوضٌ. (Msb.) As a law-term, it is of two sorts, فَرْضُ عَيْنٍ and فَرْضُ كِفَايَةٍ: the former is That whereof the observance is obligatory on every one, and does not become of no force in respect of some in consequence of the observance [thereof] by some [others]; as religious belief, and the like: the latter is That whereof the observance is obligatory on the collective body of the Muslims, and, in consequence of the observance [thereof] by some, becomes of no force in respect of the rest; as warring against unbelievers, and the prayer over the dead in the bier. (KT.) Yousay, هٰذَا أَمْرٌ فَرْضٌ عَلَيْهِمْ, and ↓ مَفْرُوضٌ, and ↓ مُفْتَرَضٌ, This is [a thing] made obligatory, or binding, on them by God. (TA.) And حَقُّكَ فَرْضٌ, and ↓ مَفْرُوضٌ, and ↓ مُفْتَرَضٌ, Thy right, or due, is [a thing] made obligatory, or binding, by God. (A.) ↓ نَصِيبًا مَفْرُوضًا, in the Kur [iv. 8 and 118], means A share, or portion, determined, defined, or limited, as to time, or otherwise: (Zj, Ibn-'Arafeh:) or, in iv. 118, a share, or portion, cut off and limited. (S, O.) [See also فَرِيضَةٌ.]

b2: A statute, an ordinance, a command or prohibition, of the Apostle of God; syn. سُنَّةٌ. (IAar, O, K.) [But فَرْضٌ is generally distinguished from سُنَّةٌ: the former, for instance, being applied to prayer appointed in the Kur-án; and the latter, to prayer appointed by Mohammad without allegation of a divine order.] b3: A gift, or a soldier's stipend or pay, syn. عَطَآءٌ, (A,) or عَطِيَّةٌ, (S, O, K,) assigned, or appointed. (S, O, K. *) In the copies of the K, مَوْسُومَة is put by mistake for مَرْسُومَة. (TA.) You say, مَا أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُ فَرْضًا وَلَا قَرْضًا I did not obtain from him an assigned, or appointed, gift, or soldier's stipend, (S, O, TA,) nor a gift to be requited, or a loan. (O, TA.) And فَرْضٌ also signifies A thing which one makes obligatory, or binding, on himself, and freely gives: or a thing which one gives liberally, not for a recompense. (IDrd, O, K.) A3: Also Soldiers who receive stipends; (K:) so accord. to Lth, as related by Az; but [Sgh says] I have not found it in the book of Lth: (O:) or soldiers having definite portions assigned to them: (A:) pl. فُرُوضٌ. (A, TA.) Yousay, عِنْدَهُ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الفَرْضِ He has with him a hundred soldiers &c. (A.) A4: A shield. (S, O, K.) Sakhr-el-Gheí says, describing lightning, (O, TA,) likening it to a light shield which an announcer of tidings was turning over and over with his hands that a party might see it and be gladdened [by the signal], (TA,) أَرِقْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ لَمْعِ البَشِيرِ يُقَلِّبُ بِالكَفِّ فَرْضًا خَفِيفًا [I was sleepless by reason of it, it being (in its flickering) like the signalling of the announcer of tidings turning over and over with the hand a light shield]: one should not say قُرْصًا خفيفا. (S, O, TA: but my copies of the S have قَلَّبَ instead of يُقَلِّبُ.) [See also what follows.] b2: And A stick, or piece of wood; syn. عُودٌ; thus [it means] in the verse (فِى البَيْتِ) accord. to El-Jumahee, (O, TA,) i. e. in the verse above-cited: (TA:) he says, الفَرْضُ فِى البَيْتِ عُودٌ: (O, TA:) whence the author of the K has been misled to explain الفَرْضُ as meaning عُودٌ مِنْ أَعْوَادِ البَيْتِ. (TA.) b3: And An arrow before it has been furnished with feathers and a head: (Akh, S, O, TA:) a meaning also heard by El-Jumahee: (O, TA:) and to this, in the hand of the player, 'Abeed ElAbras has likened lightning, accord. to the S; but Sgh says, in the TS, that he did not find the verse cited by J in the poetry of 'Abeed. (TA.) b4: And A piece of rag: another explanation heard by El-Jumahee. (O.) b5: And A garment, or piece of cloth: (O, K:) a meaning mentioned by As on the authority of some one or more of the Arabs of the desert, of Hudheyl. (O.) [See also فِرَاضٌ.] b6: And it is said that in the verse cited above it means the notch in the زَنْد [or rather زَنْدَة, mentioned in the first sentence of this paragraph]. (O, TA.) A5: A sort of dates (S, O, Msb, K) of 'Omán: (Msb:) As says that the best dates of 'Omán are these and the بَلْعَق: (S, O:) and AHn says, Certain of the desertArabs of 'Omán informed me that when the tree thereof has its fruit ripened, and the gathering is delayed, the fruit falls from its stones, and the raceme remains with nothing upon it but stones hanging to the ثَفَارِيق [by which they are attached to the ends of the stalks]. (TA.) فِرْضٌ The fruit of the دَوْم [or Theban palm] while continuing red. (AA, O, * K.) فُرْضَةٌ: see فَرْضٌ, first sentence, in two places, b2: A gap, or an opening, in a wall and the like: pl. فُرَضٌ. (Msb.) b3: A gap, or breach, in the bank of a river, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) whence one draws water, (S, O, K,) or by which one descends to the water, (Mgh, Msb,) and by which the ships, or boats, ascend; (Msb;) i. e. (Mgh) its مَشْرَعَة: (As, A, Mgh:) pl., in this and the following senses, فُرَضٌ (TA) and فِرَاضٌ. (A, TA.) Hence the saying, in a trad., فَاجْعَلُوا السُّيُوفَ لِلْمَنَايَا فُرَضًا (assumed tropical:) Therefore make ye the swords to be مَشَارِع [here used in the sense of means of access] to death; (O, TA;) and offer, or expose, yourselves to martyrdom. (TA.) Hence also, فِرَاضٌ is used in the sense of ثُغُورٌ [pl. of ثَغْرٌ, q. v.]. (TA.) b4: Of a sea, or great river, The place where ships unload; syn. مَحَطُّ السُّفُنِ: (S, O, K:) or where they are stationed, near the bank of a river, or near the land.

قَعُودٌ A young weaned camel: (L, K:) and a young she-camel; i. q. قَلُوصٌ: (K:) or this latter epithet is applied to a female and the former to a male young camel: (ISh, L, Msb:) so called because he is ridden: (Msb:) and a young male camel, until he enters his-sixth year: (K:) or a young male camel when it may be ridden, which is at the earliest when he is two years old, after which he is thus called until he enters his sixth year, when he is called جَمَلٌ: the young she-camel is not called thus, but is termed قَلُوصٌ: (S, L:) Ks heard the term قَعُودَةٌ applied to the female; but this is rare. (Az, L.) b2: A camel which the pastor rides, or uses, in every case of need; (A'Obeyd, S, L, K;) called in Persian رَخْتْ; (A'Obeyd, S, L;) as also ↓ قَعُودَةٌ, (K,) accord. to Lth, the only authority for it known to Az; but Kh says that this signifies a camel which the pastor uses for carrying his utensils &c., and that the ة is added to give intensiveness to the epithet; (TA;) or the former is masc. and the latter fem.; (Ks, L;) and ↓ قُعْدَةٌ: (S, K:) you say نِعْمَ القُعْدَةُ هٰذَا, i. e. المُقْتَعَدُ, [an excellent camel for the pastor's ordinary riding, or use, is this]: (S, L:) or each of these words signifies a camel which the pastor uses for riding and for carrying his provisions and utensils &c.: and قُعْدَةٌ, a camel which a man rides whenever and wherever he will: (L:) the pl. of قَعُودٌ is أَقْعِدَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and قُعُدٌ and قِعْدَانٌ and قَعَائِدُ; (L, K;) and pl. pl. [i. e. pl. of قِعْدَانٌ] قَعَادِينُ. (TA.) The dim of قَعُودٌ is قُعَيِّدٌ. It is said in a proverb, إِتَّخَذُوهُ قُعَيِّدَ الحَاجَاتِ They made him an ordinary servant for the performance of needful affairs. (S, L.) قَعِيدٌ A companion in sitting: (S, AHeyth, L, K:) of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مُفَاعِلٌ. (L.) b2: A preserver; a keeper; a guardian; a watcher. (L, K.) [In some copies of the K, by the omission of وَ, this meaning is assigned to مُقَاعِدٌ.] It is used alike as sing. and pl. and masc. and fem. (L, K) and dual also. (L.) It is said in the Kur, [l. 16,] عَنِ اليَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِمَالِ قَعِيدٌ [On the right and on the left a sitter, or guardian, or watcher]: respecting which it is observed, that فَعِيلٌ and فَعُولٌ are of the measures used alike as sing. and dual and pl.; as in إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّكَ, [Kur xi. 83, accord. to one reading,] and وَالمَلَائِكَةُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ ظَهِيرٌ, [Kur lxvi. 4:] (S, L:) or, as the grammarians say, قَعِيدٌ is understood after اليمين. (L.) b3: [Hence,] A father; (A'Obeyd, K;) and ↓ قَعِيدَةٌ A man's wife; (S, L, K; *) as also ↓ قِعَادٌ: (S, L:) and قَعِيدَةُ بَيْتِ رَجُلٍ a man's wife: pl. قَعَائِدُ. (L.) b4: قَعِيدَكَ اللّٰهَ, and اللّٰهَ ↓ قَعْدَكَ, and اللّٰهَ ↓ قِعْدَكَ, (K,) but the last was unknown to AHeyth, (L,) [By thy Watcher, or Keeper, God: قعيد and ↓ قعد being epithets, put in the acc. case because of the prep. بِ understood: or] I conjure thee by God; syn. نَشَدْتُكَ اللّٰهَ: some say, the meaning is, as though God were sitting with thee, watching over thee, or keeping thee: [in some copies of the K, for بِحِفْظِهِ عَلَيْكَ, the reading in the TA, we find يَحْفَظُهُ عَلَيْكَ:] or by thy Companion, who is the Companion of every secret, [namely God] !

قَعِيدَكَ لَا آتِيكَ, and لا اتيك ↓ قِعْدَكَ; and قَعِيدَكَ اللّٰهَ لا اتيك, and اللّٰهَ لا اتيك ↓ قِعْدَكَ; are forms of swearing used by the Arabs, in which قعيد and ↓ قعد are inf. us. put in the acc. case because of a verb understood; [or rather, as it appears to me, and as I have said above, they are epithets, put in the acc. case because of the prep. بِ understood;] and the meaning is, By thy Companion, who is the Companion of every secret, [I will not come to thee; and by thy Companion, &c., or by thy Watcher, or Keeper, God, I will not come to thee;] like as one says نَشَدْتُكَ اللّٰهَ: (S, L:) some say, that قعيد and ↓ قعد signify here a watcher, or an observer, and a preserver, a keeper, or a guardian, that God is meant by them, and that they are in the acc. case because أُقْسِمُ followed by the prep. بِ is understood; [the meaning being I swear by thy Watcher, or Keeper, &c., God, &c.; and this opinion is the more agreeable with the explanation given above, “By thy Companion &c. ”:] others say, that they are inf. ns., and that the meaning is, I swear by thy regard, or fear, of God, بِمُرَاقَبَتِكَ اللّٰهَ: El-Mázinee and others, however, assert that قعيد has no verb. (MF.) b5: Ks says that اللّٰهُ ↓ قِعْدَكَ [اللّٰه being in the nom. case] signifies God be with thee! (L.) [or God be thy Companion, or Watcher, or Keeper!]; and so does قَعِيدَكَ اللّٰهُ. (AHeyth, L.) [Or] قَعِيدَكَ اللّٰهَ, (IB, L, K,) and قِعْدَكَ اللّٰهَ, (K,) and قَعْدَكَ اللّٰهَ, (IB, L, TA,) [are] expressions of conciliation, not oaths, as they have not the complement of an oath: the former word in each is an inf. n. occupying the place of a verb, and therefore is put in the acc. case, as in عَمْرَكَ اللّٰهَ, which means عَمَّرْتُكَ اللّٰهَ, i. e., I beg God to prolong thy life: in like manner, قَعَّدْتُكَ اللّٰهَ [in the K, قِعْدَكَ,] signifies, [and so the three first phrases above, of which it is the original form,] I beg God to preserve, keep, guard, or watch, thee; from the saying in the Kur, [l. 16,] عَنِ اليَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ قَعِيدٌ, i. e. حَفِيظٌ. (Aboo-'Alee, IB, L, K. *) قَعِيدَ كُمَا اللّٰهَ is used in interrogative phrases and in phrases conveying an oath, [and so is قَعِيدَكَ اللّٰهَ]. You say, interrogatively, قَعِبدَكُمَا اللّٰهَ أَلَمْ يَكُنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا [I beg God to preserve, keep, guard, or watch, thee. Was it not so and so?]: and in the other case, قَعِيدَكَ اللّٰهَ لَأُكْرِمَنَّكَ [By thy Watcher, or Keeper, God, I will assuredly pay thee honour!] (Th, L.) b6: [and from the signification of ' father ' is derived] the phrase قَعِيدَكَ لَتَفْعَلَنَّ, By thy father, thou shalt assuredly do such a thing. (K, TA.) A2: What comes to thee from behind thee, (S, L, K,) of gazelles or birds (L, K) or wild animals: contr. of نَطيحٌ: (S, L:) of evil omen. (L.) A3: The locust of which the wings are not yet perfectly formed. (S, K.) قَعِيدَةٌ A thing like the [kind of receptacle called] عَيْبَة, (L, K,) woven by women, (L,) upon which one sits: (L, K:) pl. قَعَائِدُ. (L.) b2: See قَعَدَةٌ

A3: A sand that is not of an oblong form: (S, L, K:) or a long tract of sand like a rope, cleaving to the ground: (L, K:) or a heap of sand collected together. (L.) A4: See also قَعِيدٌ.

(L, K.) b4: [And hence, the pl.] قَعَدٌ, [which is, properly speaking, a quasi-pl. n.,] like حَارِسٌ and حَرَسٌ, (S,) and خَادِمٌ and خَدَمٌ: (TA:) [The Abstainers, or Separatists:] the قَعَد (so in the S, L, K: in the A, and some copies of the K, ↓ قَعَدَة:) are (tropical:) The [schismatics called] خَوَارِج: (K:) or certain of the خوارج; (S;) a people of the خوارج who held back (قَعَدُوا) from aiding 'Alee, and from fighting against him; (A;) certain of the حَرُورِيَّة; (L;) the [schismatics called] شُرَاة, who hold the doctrine that government belongs only to God, but do not war; (IAar, L;) who hold the doctrine that government belongs only to God, but do not go forth to war against a people.

(ISk, IAth.) b6: نَخْلَةٌ قَاعِدَةٌ (tropical:) A palm-tree bearing fruit one year and not another: (A, TA:) or, that has not borne fruit in its year.

خلو

1 خَلَا, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (S, Msb,) inf. n. خُلُوٌّ, (S, Msb, K,) or خَلَآءٌ, (Msb,) or both, (K,) said of a place, (K,) of a place of alighting or abode, (Msb,) and of a thing, (S, TA,) It was, or became, empty, vacant, void, devoid, destitute, or unoccupied; (K, TA;) had none, and nothing, in it; (TA;) as also ↓ اخلى, (Msb, K,) and ↓ استخلى, (K.) [خَلَا المَكَانُ مِنَ النَّاسُ وَ المَآءِ وَالكَلَأ means The place was, or became, devoid, or destitute, of human beings and water and herbage or pasturage; without human beings &c.] Of a place of alighting or abode, you say, خَلَا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ and ↓ اخلى [It was, or became, devoid, or destitute, of its occupants]. (Msb.) And of a vessel, خَلَا مِمَّا فِيهِ It was, or became, empty of what was in it. (Mgh.) And خَلَوْتُ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ (S) I became empty, in the belly, of food; (PS;) and عَنْهُ ↓ أَخْلَيْتُ signifies the same. (S.) And خَلَا مِن العَيْبِ, (Msb,) or عَنِ الأَمْرِ, and مِنْهُ, (Kudot;,) inf. n. خُلُوٌّ, He was, or became, free (Msb, K) from fault, (Msb,) or from the thing, or affair: (K:) and, accord. to IAar, خلا alone signifies he was, or became, free from a fault, or the like, of which he was accused, or suspected. (TA.) And خَلَتْ عَنْ مَانِعِ النِّكَاحِ, inf. n. خُلُوٌّ, is said of a woman [as meaning She was, or became, free from any obstacle to marriage]. (Msb.) Accord. to the K, خَلَا مَكَانُهُ [lit. His place became vacant] means (tropical:) he died: but accord. to IAar, خَلَا alone has this signification [from the same verb signifying مَضَى. explained below]: and if you add مكانه, you say خَلَّى, with teshdeed; which see below. (TA.) You say also, خَلَا لَكَ الشَّىْءُ and ↓ اخلى, both signifying the same, (AA, S, TA,) i. q. فَرَغَ [i. e. The thing was, or became, vacant, or unoccupied, for thee: (see an ex. of the former verb in a saying of Tarafeh cited voce جَوٌّ:) and hence, the thing was, or became, exclusively for thee]. (TA.) AA cites as an ex. the saying of Maan Ibn-Ows, أَعَاذِلُ هَلْ يَأْتِى القَبَائِلَ حَظُّهَا لَنا المَوْتُ وَحْدَنَا ↓ مِنَ المَوْتِ أَمْ أَخْلَى

[O censurer, does their share of death come to the tribes in common, or is death exclusively for us alone?]. (S, TA.) See also the paragraph, below, commencing with خَلَا as a word denoting exception. b2: [Hence,] خَلَا and ↓ اخلى, (S, K,) said of a man, (TA,) or the same two verbs followed by بِنَفْسِهِ, said of a man, (Msb,) both signify the same; (S;) He was, or became, [without any companion, i. e.] alone, by himself; (Msb;) or he became (وَقَعَ [q. v.]) in a vacant place, in which he was not pressed against, or straitened. (K.) And خَلَا بِهِ, (S, Msb, K,) and إِلَيْهِ, (S, K,) and مَعَهُ, (K,) inf. n. خَلْوَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and خَلَآءٌ (S, K) and خَلْوٌ, (K, TA,) or خُلُوٌّ, (CK,) or the first of these, i. e. خَلْوَةٌ, is a simple subst., and the second and third are the inf. ns.; (TA;) and به ↓ اخلى, (Lh, K,) and ↓ اخلاهُ, (S, K,) and بِهِ ↓ استخلى; (K; [the last omitted in the CK;]) He was, or became, alone with him; (Msb;) he was, or became, in company with him, or he met him, or had a meeting or an interview with him, in a vacant place, or a place unoccupied [by others, i. e., in a private place]. (S, K.) In the saying in the Kur [ii. 13], وَإِذَا خَلَوْا إِلَى

شَيَاطِينِهِمْ, it is said that إِلَى is used in the sense of مَعَ, [so that the meaning is And when they are alone with their devils,] as in that other saying in the Kur [iii. 45 and lxi. 14], مَنْ أَنْصَارِى إِلَى اللّٰهُ. (S.) A man says to another man, اُخْلُ مَعِى حَتَّى

أُكَلِّمَكَ, i. e. Be [or come] thou alone with me [that I may speak to thee in private]. (TA.) And one says, خَلَا بِزَوْجَتِهِ, inf. n. خَلْوَةٌ, [but see what is said of this noun above,] He was, or became, alone with his wife: but [properly speaking, according to the law,] the term خَلْوَةٌ [or خَلْوَةٌ صَحِيحَةٌ, in this case,] is not used unless it be with the enjoyment of المُفَاخَذَة, [see 3 in art. فخذ,] and then it has an effect upon the circumstances of the marriage [by its rendering obligatory the payment of the dowry, though consummation has not taken place]: if with consummation, the act is termed دُخُولٌ. (Msb.) You say also, ↓ أَخْلِ

أَمْرَكَ and بِأَمْرِكَ Be thou alone in thine affair, with none to take part with thee in it; confine thyself to it exclusively of other things. (TA. [See also 5.]) And إِلَيْكَ ↓ أَخْلِ Keep thou to thine affair, and be alone in it, with none to take part with thee therein. (JK.) And البُكَآءُ ↓ استخلى

[app. for بِالبُكَآءِ] He was, or became, alone in weeping, with none to participate with him in it. (TA.) [And خَلَا لِلْأَمْرِ: see 5.] And خَلَاعَلَى

بَعْضِ الطَّعَامِ He restricted himself to a portion of the food. (K.) Temeem say, خَلَا فُلَانٌ عَلَى

اللَّبَنِ وَ اللَّحْمِ (JK, * TA) i. e. Such a one fed upon milk and flesh-meat alone; (JK;) or such a one ate not, nor mixed, anything with milk and flesh-meat: and Kináneh and Keys say ↓ أَخْلَى. (Lh, JK, * TA.) [And it seems to be indicated in the T that خَلَوْا signifies They selected a she-camel for a خَلِيَّة, q. v.: or i. q. تَخَلَّوْا بِخَلَيِّةٍ: see 5.] b3: خَلَا also ssignifies He devoted himself to religious services or exercises [app. in solitude, or seclusion, or in a خَلْوَة; or because one generally does so in solitude; or because the doing so involves abstraction from other affairs]. (TA. [See also 5; and see مُسْتَخْلٍ.]) b4: And خَلَا بِهِ [sometimes] signifies (tropical:) He mocked at, scoffed at, laughed at, derided, or ridiculed, him: (Lh, S, Z, K, TA:) said by Az to be strange, and not known by him or any other authority than that of Lh: (TA:) from the saying, خَلَا فُلَانٌ بِعِرْضِ فُلَانٍ يَعْبَثُ بِهِ [Such a one occupied himself alone with the honour, or reputation, of such a one, making sport with it]. (Ksh in ii. 13.) and i. q. خَادَعَهُ (tropical:) [He deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted, him; &c.: or he strove to do so]: (TA:) as also ↓ خالاهُ, (JK, and K in art. خلى,) inf. n. مُخَالَاةٌ. (JK.) b5: and خَلَا عَلَيْهِ He relied upon him; [as though he betook himself to him alone;] syn. اِعْتَمَدَ. (TA.) b6: And خَلَا, (JK, K,) inf. n. خُلُوٌّ, (TA,) or خَلَآءٌ, (JK,) said of a man (JK) and of a thing, (JK, TA,) He, or it, went, went away, or passed away. (JK, K.) Hence, (TA,) وَ إِنْ مِنْ أُمَّةٍإِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ, in the Kur [xxxv. 22], means [And there is not any people but a warner] hath gone, and hath been sent, among them. (S, TA.) [Hence also خَلَا explained above as meaning He died.] And خَلَا مِنْهَا [an elliptical phrase] She became old; the greater part of her life passed. (TA from a trad.) And خَلَاكَ ذَمٌّ [for خَلَا عَنْكَ ذَمٌّ] Blame passed away from thee; or may blame pass away from thee. (Ksh and Bd in ii. 13.) You say, اِفْعَلْ كَذَا وَ خَلَاكَ ذَمٌّ Do thou such a thing, and thou wilt have an excuse; [i. e.] blame will fall from thee. (S. [See art. ذم.]) and خَلَاهُ الحُزْنُ Grief passed away from him, and quitted him. (Har p. 590, from the Tekmileh.) b7: خَلَا عَنِ الشَّىْءِ: see 2.

A2: خَلَا [or خَلَى, probably belonging to art. خلى, though mentioned in the present art.,] He ate what was good, sweet, or pleasant. (TA.) 2 خَلَّى, inf. n. تَخْلِيَةٌ, [He left a place, &c., empty, vacant, void, devoid, destitute, or unoccupied.] Hence, خلّى مَكَانَهُ [He left his place vacant;] meaning (tropical:) he died: (TA, and so in Ham p. 478:) a meaning assigned in the K to ↓ خَلَا مَكَانُهُ, and by IAar to خَلَا alone, without tesh-deed; but when مكانه is added, it is with teshdeed. (TA.) And (assumed tropical:) He went his way. (Ham p. 379.) And خلّى سَبِيلَهُ [He left his way free, or open, to him]. (S, TA.) And خلّى بَيْنَهُمَا [He left the way, or space, free between them two; meaning he left them two free, each to do to the other as he pleased]. (TA.) [And خلّى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ كَذَا He left him free access to such a thing.] and خلّى بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ He left him, or it, alone; syn. أَهْمَلَهُ. (S and O and K in art. همل.) [and خلّاهُ وَفُلَانًا He left him to do as he pleased with such a one.] And خلّى الأَمْرَ He left, left alone, or let alone, the thing, or affair; as also ↓ تخلّى

مِنْهُ and عَنْهُ; and ↓ خالاهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. خِلَآءٌ. (TA.) For تَخْلِيَةٌ signifies The leaving, and making a thing to be alone. (Har p. 123.) [خلّاهُ and خلّى عَنْهُ both signify He left, or left alone, it, or him.] It is said in a trad., خلّى عَنْهُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا He (God) left them, or left them alone, and turned from them, forty years. (TA.) [And خلّاهُ لِكَذَا He made him, or left him, vacant, unoccupied, unemployed, or at leisure, for such a thing.] b2: تَخْلِيَةٌ also signifies The act of loosing; contr. of شَدٌّ. (IAar, K in art. ابض.) [Hence,] خلّى عَنِ الشَّىْءِ, (JK, S, * TA,) in the K ↓ خَلَا, without teshdeed, but this requires consideration, (TA,) He dismissed, loosed, let loose, or let go, the thing. (JK, K, TA.) b3: [and hence خلّاهُ meaning He left it, permitted it, or allowed it: see the pass. part. n., below.]

A2: خُلِّيَتْ, said of a she-camel such as is termed خَلِيَّة; and hence, of a cooking-pot: see 1 in art. خلى.3 خالاهُ He left, forsook, relinquished, abandoned, deserted, or quitted, him, being left, &c., by him; namely, another man; syn. تَارَكَهُ; (S;) inf. n. مُخَالَاةٌ, syn. with مُوَادَعَةٌ, (JK,) [and خِلَآءٌ also: and he was, or became, distant, remote, far off, aloof, or apart, from him; for]

خِلَآءٌ is syn. with مُبَاعَدَةٌ and مُجَانَبَةٌ (TA in art. خلأ) and فُرْقَةٌ. (TA in the present art.) and خالى الأَمْرَ, inf. n. خِلَآءٌ: see 2. b2: [Also He went, or came, out, or forth, to him, in the field; for] مُخَالَاةٌ is also syn. with مُبَارَزَةٌ. (Sh, TA.) b3: Also, (Lth, JK, K,) inf. n. مُخَالَاةٌ, (Lth, JK,) He wrestled with him, each endeavouring to throw down the other; contended with him in wrestling: (Lth, JK, K: mentioned in the K in art. خلى:) because, when one does so, he is alone with the other, so that neither of them seeks aid from any other. (Az, TA.) And in like manner the word مُخَالَاةٌ is used [app. as meaning The act of contending with another, by oneself,] in relation to any affair, or case. (Lth, JK, TA. [See its act. part. n., below.]) b4: See also 1, in the latter part of the paragraph.4 أَخْلَوَ see 1, in eleven places.

A2: اخلى المَكَانَ, (S, K,) or المَنْزِلَ, (Msb,) He made the place, (K,) or the place of alighting or abode, (Msb,) empty, vacant, void, devoid, destitute, or unoccupied: (Msb, K:) or it signifies, (S, K,) or signifies also, (Msb,) he found it empty, &c. (S, Msb, K.) One says in praying for another that he may have a long life, لَا أَخْلَى اللّٰهُ مَكَانَكَ [May God not make thy place vacant]. (TA.) b2: اخلاهُ مَعَهُ [He made him, or found him, to be alone with him]. (K.) 5 تخلّى He went forth into the field, or open country, to satisfy a want of nature. (TA.) And تخلّى فِى الخَلَآءِ He went forth into the vacant tract, or into the privy, to satisfy a want of nature: or he satisfied a want of nature therein. (TA.) b2: Also He was, or became, or made himself, vacant from occupation, or business; [unoccupied; unemployed; or at leisure;] syn. تَفَرَّغَ: (S:) or so تخلّى مِنَ الشُّغْلِ. (K in art. فرغ.) You say, تخلّى لِلْعِبَادَةِ He was, or became, or made himself, vacant for, or he confined himself exclusively to, the service of God. (TA.) [See also 1, in the latter part of the paragraph. In like manner, one says also, لِلْأَمْرِ ↓ خَلَا He was, or became, or made himself, vacant for, or he confined himself exclusively to, the affair.] And تَخَلَّوْا بِخَلِيَّةٍ (S, K, TA) They confined themselves exclusively to a she-camel, or to she-camels, such as they termed خلية, (K, TA,) يَحْلُبُونَهَا [milking only her, or them]. (S, TA.) And تخلّى خَلِيَّةً He took for himself a خليّة. (TA.) b3: And تخلّى مِنَ الأَمْرِ and عَنْهُ: see 2. b4: And تَخَلَّتِ الإِبِلُ بِلَا رَاعٍ [The camels were left to themselves without a pastor]. (K in art. سوع.) 10 إِسْتَخْلَوَ see 1, in three places. [And see also مُسْتَخْلٍ.]

A2: استخلاهُ مَجْلِسَهُ He asked him to leave his sitting-place vacant, or unoccupied, for him. (S. [But found by me in only one copy of that work.]) b2: استخلى المَلِكَ He asked the king to have a meeting, or an interview, with him in a vacant place, or a place unoccupied [by others, i. e., in a private place; he asked the king to grant him a private meeting or interview]. (K.) خَلَا as a word denoting exception, (S, Mughnee, K,) when it governs a gen. case, (S, Mughnee,) as when you say, جَاؤُونِى خَلَا زَيْدٍ [They came to me, except Zeyd], is a particle, (S, Mughnee, K,) accord. to some of the grammarians, like حَاشَى; but accord. to some, a prefixed inf. n. (S.) ↓ It. also governs an accus. case, as a verb: (S, Mughnee:) so that you say, جَاؤُونِى خَلَا زَيْدًا [meaning as above]; the agent of خلا being implied, (S, Mughnee, *) like that of حَاشَى [used as a verb]: it is as though you said, خَلَا مَنْ جَآءَنِى مِنْ زَيْدٍ

[i. e. those who came to me were without Zeyd]: (S:) or correctly, accord. to IB, خَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ زَيْدًا [for مِنْ زَيْدٍ, like as you say, خَلَاكَ ذَمٌّ, for خَلَا عَنْكَ ذَمٌّ]. (TA.) When you say مَا خَلَا, it is followed only by an accus., because ما خلا is equivalent to an inf. n.; (S, Mughnee;) so that when you say, جَاؤُونِى مَا خَلَا زَيْدًا [meaning as above], it is as if you said, جَاؤُونِى خُلُوَّ زَيْدٍ [or خُلُوًّا زَيْدًا], i. e. خُلُوَّهُمْ مِنْ زَيْدٍ, (S,) which two phrases mean جَاؤُونِى خَالِينَ مِنْ زَيْدٍ [They came to me, they being without Zeyd]: (S, K:) [for] accord. to Seer, ماخلا occupies the place of a noun in the accus. as a denotative of state: but some say, as an adv. n. of time; so that, accord. to these, مَا خَلَا زَيْدًا means وَقْتَ خُلُوِّهِمْ عَنْ زَيْدٍ [in the time of their being without Zeyd]. (Mughnee.) You say also, مَا أَرَدْتُ مَسَآءَتَكَ خَلَا أَنِّى وَعَظْتُكَ, meaning [I desired not to displease thee,] but I admonished thee (إِلَّا أَنِّى وَعَظْتُكَ). (JK, TA.) خِلْوٌ, and its fem. (with ة), and dual: see خَالٍ, in seven places.

خَلْوَةٌ said by some to be an inf. n.: [see خَلَا بِهِ

&c. in the first paragraph of this art.:] by others said to be a simple subst.; (TA;) meaning Loneliness; solitude; lonesomeness; solitariness; desolateness; syn. وَحْشَةٌ. (S and K in art. وحش.) [Hence, app.,] رَجُلٌ سَهْلُ الخَلْوَةِ [A man easy in private conference]. (Msb in art. سلس. [See also a phrase in the latter part of the next paragraph.]) b2: Also An empty, a vacant, a void, or an unoccupied, place. (KL. [See also خَلَآءٌ.]) [In the present day, it is often applied to A closet to which one retires for privacy; and particularly to a cell for religious retirement: and is vulgarly pronounced خِلْوَة.] You say, اِجْتَمَعَ مَعَهُ فِى خَلْوَةٍ (S) or اجتمع بِهِ فى خلوة (K) [He had a meeting, or an interview, with him in a vacant place, or a place unoccupied by others, i. e., in a private place].

A2: Also Each of the two sharp sides or edges of an arrow-head (AHn, JK, TA) or of a spear-head: (AHn, TA:) both together are called the خَلْوَتَانِ: (AHn, JK, TA.) خَلَآءٌ is primarily an inf. n. (MF, TA. [See 1, first sentence.]) b2: [Then it is used as an epithet, syn. with خَالٍ:] see خَالٍ, in five places. b3: Then it is used [as a subst.] in the sense of A vacant place [in a general sense]: (MF, TA:) or a place in which is nothing: (S, K:) [often applied in the present day to any open tract of country or desert:] and then, particularly, such as one takes for the purpose of satisfying a want of nature; (MF, TA;) i. q. مُتَوَضَّأٌ, (S, Msb, K,) but not as meaning only a place for the performance of الوُضُوء, as might be imagined from this explanation: pl. أَخْلِيَةٌ. (MF, TA.) It is said in a prov., (S, Meyd,) خَلَاؤُكَ أَقْنَى لِحَيَائِكَ, (S, Meyd, K,) [in Freytag's Arab. Prov., (i. 436,) بِحَيَآيِكَ,] i. e. [Thy place of retirement is] most preservative (أَلْزَمُ) [of thy sense of shame, or modesty]; meaning it is most fit for thee to be alone in thine abode; (S, * Meyd;) for he who is so needs not to be careful for his shame, or modesty: it is used in blaming the mixing with others. (Meyd.) حُصِرَ عَلَيْهِ خَلَاؤُهُ [His place of retirement for satisfying a want of nature was straitened to him] is used as meaning he suffered suppression of the feces, or constipation of the bowels. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA in art. حصر.) A2: إِنَّهُ لَحْلُو الخَلَآءِ, (TA,) or [as written in a verse in which it occurs in the TA in the present art., and in art. خلى,] الخَلَا, (JK, TA,) [without ء, but whether this be the right reading, or only required by poetic license, seems to be doubtful,] is a phrase mentioned by Th, (TA,) meaning Verily he is good in speech. (JK, TA. [If the former reading be right, the meaning may be similar to that of سَهْلُ الخَلْوَةِ, mentioned above: if the latter only, or rather انّه لحلو الخَلَى, be right, it probably belongs to art. خلىٍ, and is tropical, from the herbage termed خَلى; and this may also be the case if the former reading be right.]) خَلِىٌّ; and its fem. خَلِيَّةٌ: see خَالٍ, in twelve places. b2: The fem. also signifies, applied to a she-camel, (S, Msb,) Loosed from the cord, or rope, with which her fore shank and her arm have been bound together, (S, Msb, K,) and left alone, or free, (S,) so that she pastures where she will. (Msb.) Hence, (Msb,) it is used by way of metonymy as meaning Divorced: (Lh, S, Msb, K:) one says to a woman, أَنْتِ خَلِيَّةٌ Thou art divorced; (Lh, S;) and thus a man used to say in the Time of Ignorance: (TA:) and one says, هِىَ خَلِيَّةٌ She is divorced: (Msb:) and a woman is divorced thereby when divorce is meant. (Lh, TA.) Applied to a woman, it signifies also Free from any obstacle to marriage: pl. خَلِيَّاتٌ. (Msb.) b3: Also A she-camel that is made to affect, with another she-camel, one young one, so that both yield their milk to it, and to which the people of a tent, or house, confine themselves exclusively of the other for the purpose of milking her: (S:) or a she-camel that is chosen as the one more abundant in milk, when one has brought forth and her young one is drawn away (يُجَرُّ) as soon as born, before she smells it, and the young one of another, that has brought forth before her, is brought near to her, and she affects it; the other is left to suckle the young one, and is termed بَسُوطٌ, pl. بسط [app. بُسْطٌ or بُسُطٌ]: (Az, TA:) or a she-camel that is left, or left alone, to be milked: (K:) or that affects a young one [not her own], or is destitute of her young one, (JK, M, K,) whether she incline to another's young one or do not, or that is destitute of her young one by death or slaughter, (M, TA,) and whose milk one causes to flow by means of the young one of another; but only by her affecting a young one, and not suckling it: (M, K: *) or that brings forth, when abundant in milk, and has her young one drawn (يُجَرُّ) from beneath her, and another put beneath her, and is then left, or left alone, to be milked; (Lh, K;) this being done because of her generous quality: (Lh:) or a she-camel, or two she-camels, to which the people of a tent, or house, confine themselves exclusively, for milking, when two or three she-camels are made to affect one young one, and to yield their milk to it; the young one [afterwards] sucking from one of them only: (K, * TA:) or a she-camel that brings forth, and whose young one is drawn away (يُجَرُّ) in order that her milk may continue for their use, she being made to yield her milk by means of the young one of another, which is then withdrawn from her, and she is milked: sometimes, also, they bring together three and four خَلَايَا [pl. of خَلِيَّةٌ] to one young camel: and the doing so is termed تَلَسُّنٌ: (IAar, TA:) in this case they take as a خليّة whichever of them they will. (ISh, TA.) [Applied to a she-camel in any of these senses, it seems to be an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant; i. e., used without its having نَاقَةٌ prefixed to it.]

A2: See also the paragraph next following, in two places.

خَلِيَّةٌ [as fem. of the epithet خَلِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph, and the places there referred to in its first sentence.

A2: As a subst. it signifies] A great ship: (T, S, K:) or a ship that goes of itself, without its being made to do so by the sailor: (JK, K:) or one that is followed by a small boat: (K:) the first held by Az to be the right meaning: (TA:) pl. خَلَايَا. (JK, S.) b2: Also, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) and ↓ خَلِىٌّ, (JK, Msb, K,) The habitation (بَيْت) of bees, [whether it be a manufactured hive or a hollow in the trunk of a tree or in a rock,] in which they deposit their honey; (S;) the place in which bees deposit their honey: (Mgh:) or the thing in which bees deposit their honey, (K, TA,) not manufactured for them: (TA:) or a thing like the [kind of jar called] رَاقُود, of clay, (K, TA,) made for bees: (TA:) or a certain thing for bees, well known, of clay or of wood: (Msb:) or, accord. to Lth, if made of clay, it is called كوارة, (Msb, TA,) i. e. [كُوَارَةٌ and كُوَّارَةٌ and كِوَارَةٌ] with kesr: (Msb:) or a piece of wood hollowed out for honey to be deposited therein [by bees]: or the lower part of a tree that is called خَزَمَةٌ, [n. un. of خَزَمٌ, q. v., hollowed out for that purpose,] resembling the [kind of jar called] رَاقُود: (K:) or ↓ خَلِىٌّ signifies the part of the كُوَّارَة which is the place of the honey: (JK:) pl. as above. (Msb, TA.) خَلَاوَةُ: see the next paragraph.

خَالٍ Empty, vacant, void, devoid, destitute, or unoccupied; (Mgh, TA;) having none, and nothing, in it: (TA:) applied to a place, (Msb, TA,) as also ↓ خَلِىٌّ (TA) and ↓ مُخْلٍ; (Msb;) and to a thing, as also ↓ خَلِىٌّ; (TA;) or a vessel. (Mgh.) You say also ↓ مَكَانٌ خَلَآءٌ, [as well as خَلَآءٌ alone,] meaning A place in which is none (K, TA) and nothing. (TA.) And وَجَدْتُ

↓ الدَّارَ مُخْلِيَةً, meaning خَالِيَةً [i. e. I found the house empty, &c.]. (TA.) b2: Vacant, or free; from a thing or an affair; or devoid, or destitute, of a thing; (TA;) and so ↓ خَلِىٌّ and ↓ خِلْوٌ; which last is the same as masc. and fem., though it has خِلْوَةٌ also for fem., and أَخْلَآءٌ for pl.; (K;) but properly, accord. to Lh, it has no dual form, nor pl., nor fem., though some give it such forms: (TA:) or ↓ خَلِىٌّ, which has a dual, [i. e.

خَلِيَّانِ,] and pl., (S, Msb,) i. e. خَلِيُّونَ and أَخْلِيَآءُ, (K,) signifies free [from a thing]; or clear or quit [of a thing or person]; as also ↓ خَلَآءُ, (S, Msb,) which, being [originally] an inf. n., has no dual nor pl. [nor fem.]; (S;) and ↓ خِلْوٌ. (Msb.) You say, مِنْ هٰذَا ↓ أَنْتَ خَلِىٌّ الأَمْرِ and خَالٍ, i. e. Thou art free from this thing, or affair. (TA.) And مِنَ الهَمِّ ↓ أَنَا خَلِىٌّ, meaning خَالٍ [i. e. I am free from anxiety]. (Mgh.) And مِنْ كَذَا ↓ أَنَا خِلْوٌ, meaning خَالٍ

[i. e. I am free from such a thing]: (S:) and هُمَا خِلْوٌ, and هُمْ خِلْوٌ; and some say, هُمَا خِلْوَانِ, and هُمْ أَخْلَآءٌ, which is not proper. (T, TA.) and مِنْ مُصِيبَتِى ↓ أَنْتَ خِلْوٌ Thou art free in mind from my affliction, or misfortune. (TA from a trad.) And مِنْكَ ↓ أَنَا خَلِىٌّ I am clear, or quit, of thee. (S.) And ↓ أَنَا مِنْكَ خَلَآءٌ signifies the same. (S.) And ↓ نَحْنُ مِنْكَ الخَلَآءُ and البَرَآءُ [q. v.] We are clear, or quit, of you. (Fr, T in art. برأ.)

I am clear, or quit, of this affair]: (JK, S, K:) a saying originating from its being asked of Fálij Ibn-Khaláweh, on the day of Er-Rakam, when Uneys killed the captives, “Dost thou,” or “ wilt thou,” “ aid Uneys? ” and his answering, “I am clear,” or “ quit,” “ of him. ” (S and K in art. فلج.) And ↓ خَلِىٌّ [alone] signifies خَالٍ مِنَ الهَمِّ [Free from anxiety]; contr. of شَجِىٌّ. (S.) It is said in a prov., وَيْلٌ

↓ مِنَ الخَلِىِّ, i. e. What will he who is occupied by anxiety experience from him who is free therefrom? meaning, accord. to AO, that the latter will not aid the former against his anxieties, but will censure him: it is said in the Tekmileh that الخَلِىّ [in these provs.] is from خَلَاهُ الحُزْنُ meaning “ Grief passed away from him,” and “ quitted him. ” (Har p. 590.) And ↓ أَنْتِ خَلِيَّةٌ means خَالِيَةٌ مِنَ الخَيْرِ [i. e. Thou, O woman, art devoid, or destitute, of good]. (Mgh.) b3: Also A man having no wife; (S, K;) [for خَالٍ مِنَ الزَّوَجَاتِ, a phrase occurring in the TA:] and a woman having no husband; (K;) thus without ة: (TA:) pl. أَخْلَآءٌ: (K:) and ↓ خِلْوَةٌ, also, has the latter meaning; dual خِلْوَتَانِ, and pl. خِلْوَاتٌ: and so has ↓ مُخْلِيَةٌ: and ↓ خَلِيَّةٌ means a woman having no husband nor children; pl. خَلِيَّاتٌ. (TA.) b4: [And Alone; as also ↓ مُخْلٍ, and ↓ خِلْوٌ.] It is said in a prov., أَشَدُّ ↓ الذِّئْبُ مُخْلِيًا The wolf when [alone or] in a vacant place [is most courageous, or violent]; (TA;) or خَالِيًا [which means the same]. (JK. [And another reading is أَسَدٌ. See Freytag's Arab. Prov., i. 500.]) And one says, ↓ وَجَدْتُ فُلَانَةَ مُخْلِيَةً, meaning خَالِيَةً [i. e. I found such a woman alone]. (TA.) And ↓ وَجَدَهُمَا خِلْوَيْنِ i. e. خَالِيَيْنِ [He found them two alone]. (K.) b5: [Also Past, or past away: as well as going, going away, or passing away.] القُرُونُ خَالِيَةُ means[The generations] that have passed. (JK, S, TA.) مُخْلٍ, and its fem. مُخْلِيَةٌ: see خَالٍ, in six places.

A2: لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ, occurring in a trad., means I did not find thee destitute of wives beside me: it is not from اِمْرَأَةٌ مُخْلِيَةٌ signifying

(S, K.) b2: Hence the saying, مَنْ عُذِقَتْ بِهِ الأَعْمَالُ أُــعْلِقَــتْ بِهِ الآمَالُ (assumed tropical:) [The person to whom offices of administration are assigned, to him hopes are made to cling]. (Har p. 489.) b3: Hence also, (O, TA,) عَذَقَ الرَّجُلَ, (S, O,) or عَذَقَهُ بِشَرٍّ or بِقَبِيحٍ, (K,) (tropical:) He reproached him, or upbraided him, with a thing that was bad, evil, abominable, or foul, (S, O, K, TA,) and stigmatized him with it, (S, O, TA,) so that he became known thereby.

A2: عَذَقْتُ النَّخْلَةَ I cut off the branches of the palm-tree: (S, O:) and [in like manner one says] ↓ عَذَّقْتُ, with teshdeed to denote muchness [of the action] or multiplicity [of the objects]. (S.) A3: عَذَقَ said of the [species of sweet rush called] إِذْخِر, It put forth its fruit; as also ↓ أَعْذَقَ: (S, O, K:) or the latter, accord. to IAth, it had عُذُوق [pl. of عِذْقٌ] and شُعَب [pl. of شُعْبَةٌ, i. e. bunches, or sprigs]: or, as some say, it blossomed. (TA.) And, said of the [species of tree, or plant, called] سَخْبَر, It grew tall. (IAar, O, TA.) A4: عَذَقَ الفَحْلُ عَنِ الإِبِلِ, (O, K,) aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. عَذْقٌ, (TA,) The stallion [camel] repelled from the [she-] camels, and drew them together. (O, K.)

(TA.) b2: And اعتذقهُ بِكَذَا means اِخْتَصَّهُ بِهِ [i. e. He distinguished him particularly, peculiarly, or specially, by such a thing; or he particularized him, or particularly or peculiarly or specially characterized him, thereby]; (O, K;) namely, a man.

(TA.) A poet says, وَالرِّحْمَ فابْلُلْهَا بِخَيْرِ البُلَّانْ فَإِنَهَااشْتُقَّتْ مِنِ اسْمِ الرَّحْمٰنْ [(tropical:) And the ties of relationship, make thou them close &c. by the best mode, or modes, of doing so; for the name thereof is derived from the name of the Compassionate]: here ↓البُلَّان may be a noun in the sing. number, like غُفْرَانٌ, or it may be pl. of بَلَلٌ, which may be either a subst. or an. inf. n., for some inf. ns. have pls., as شُغْلٌ and عَقْلٌ and مَرَضٌ.

Hence, perhaps, the phrase, بُلَّتْ يَدَاكَ بِهِ as meaning (assumed tropical:) Thou was given it. (Har p. 479.) You say also, بَلَلْتُهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) I gave to him. (T.)

(Fr, T, K, TA.

(S.) and hence the prov., مَا بَلَلْتُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ بِأَفْوَقَ نَاصِلٍ [I did not get, in such a one, a man like an arrow with a broken notch and without a head]; meaning I got a perfect man; one sufficient.

(Msb.) 5 تَبَلَّّ see 8: b2: and see also بَلَّ.8 ابتلّ It became moist or moistened (S, M, Msb, * K) with water (M, Msb, K) &c.; (M;) and in like manner, [but signifying it became much moistened, being quasi-pass. of بلّلهُ,] ↓ تبلّل. (M, K.) b2: See also بَلَّ.10 إِسْتَبْلَ3َ see بَلَّ.

R. Q. 1 بَلْبَلَ, inf. n. بَلْبَلَةٌ and بِلْبَالٌ, (M, K,) the latter with kesr, (TA,) [but written in the CK with fet-h,] He put people in motion; and roused, or excited, them. (M, K.) b2: Also, (T,) inf. n. بَلْبَلَةٌ, (K,) He scattered, dispersed, or put asunder, his goods, commodities, or householdutensils and furniture. (IAar, T, K. * [In the CK, والمَتاعُ is erroneously put for وَالمَتَاعِ.]) b3: And He divided, or disunited, opinions. (Fr, T, K; but only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense is mentioned.) b4: And He (God) [mixed or confounded or] made discordant the tongues, or languages, of a people. (T.) b5: [See also بَلْبَلَةٌ below.] R. Q. 2 تَبَلْبَلَ He (a man) was moved by grief [or anxiety: see بَلْبَلَةٌ, below]. (Har p. 94.) b2: تَبَلْبَلَتِ الأَلْسُنُ The tongues, or languages, became mixed, or confounded. (S, K.) A2: تَبَلْبَلَتِ الإِبِلُ الكَلَأَ The camels went on seeking the herbage, or pasture, and left not of it aught. (S, K.) بَلْ is a particle of digression: (Mughnee, K:) or, accord. to Mbr, it denotes emendation, wherever it occurs, in the case of a negation or an affirmation: (T, TA:) or it is a word of emendation, and denoting digression from that which precedes; as also بَنْ, in which the ن is a substitute for the ل, because بل is of frequent occurrence, and بن is rare; or, as IJ says, the latter may be an independent dial. var. (M.) When it is followed by a proposition, the meaning of the digression is either the cancelling of what precedes, as in وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَانَهُ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُكْرَمُونَ [And they said, “The Compassionate hath gotten offspring: ” extolled be his freedom from that which is derogatory from his glory! nay, or nay rather, or nay but, they are honoured servants (Kur xxi. 26)], or transition from one object of discourse to another, as in قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى وَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا [He hath attained felicity who hath purified himself, and celebrated the name of his Lord, and prayed: but ye prefer the present life (Kur lxxxvii. 14-16)]: (Mughnee, K: *) and in all such cases it is an inceptive particle; not a conjunctive. (Mughnee.) When it is followed by a single word, it is a conjunction, (S, * Msb, * Mughnee, K,) and requires that word to be in the same case as the word before it: (S:) and if preceded by a command or an affirmation, (Mughnee, K,) as in اِضْرَبْ زَيْدًا بَلْ عَمْرًا [Beat thou Zeyd: no, 'Amr], (Msb, Mughnee, K,) and قَامَ زَيْدٌ بَلْ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd stood: no, 'Amr], (M, Mughnee, K,) or جَآءَنِى أَخُوكَ بَلْ أَبُوكَ [Thy brother came to me: no, thy father], (S,) it makes what precedes it to be as though nothing were said respecting it, (S, * Msb, * Mughnee, K,) making the command or affirmation to relate to what follows it: (S, * Msb, * Mughnee:) [and similar to these cases is the case in which it is preceded by an interrogation: see أَمْ as syn. with this particle:] but when it is preceded by a negation or a prohibition, it is used to confirm the meaning of what precedes it and to assign the contrary of that meaning to what follows it, (Mughnee, K,) as in مَا قَامَ زَيْدٌ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd stood not, but 'Amr stood], (Mughnee,) or مَا رَأَيْتُ زَيْدًا بَلْ عَمْرًا, [I saw not Zeyd, but I saw 'Amr], (S,) and لَا يَقُمْ زَيْدٌ بَلْ عَمْرٌو [Let not Zeyd stand, but let 'Amr stand]. (Mughnee.) Mbr and 'Abd-El-Wárith allow its being used to transfer the meaning of the negation and the prohibition to what follows it; so that, accord. to them, one may say, مَازَيْدٌ قَائِمًا بَلْ قَاعِدًا [as meaning Zeyd is not standing: no, is not sitting], and بَلْ قَاعِدٌ [but is sitting]; the meaning being different [in the two cases]. (Mughnee, K. *) The Koofees disallow its being used as a conjunction after anything but a negation [so in the Mughnee, but in the K a prohibition,] or the like thereof; so that one should not say, ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا بَلْ إِيَّاكَ [I beat Zeyd: no, thee]. (Mughnee, K.) Sometimes لَا is added before it, to corroborate the meaning of digression, after an affirmation, as in the saying, وَجْهُكَ البَدْرُ لَا بَلِ الشَّمْسُ لَوْ لَمْ يُقْضَ لِلشَّمْسِ كَسْفَةٌ وَ أُفُولُ [Thy face is the full moon: no, but it would be the sun, were it not that eclipse and setting are appointed to happen to the sun]: and to corroborate what precedes it, after a negation, as in وَ مَا هَجَرْتُكَ لَا بَلْ زَادَنِى شَغَفًا هَجْرٌ وَ بَعْدٌ تَرَاخَى لَا إِلَى أَجَلِ [And I did not abandon thee, or have not abandoned thee: no, but abandonment and distance, protracted, not to an appointed period, increased, or have increased, my heart-felt love]. (Mughnee, K. *) b2: Sometimes it is used to denote the passing from one subject to another without cancelling [what precedes it], and is syn. with وَ, as in the saying in the Kur [lxxxv. 20 and 21], وَاللّٰهُ مِنْ, وَ رَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ [And God from behind them is encompassing: and it is a glorious Kur-án: or here it may mean إِنَّ, as in an ex. below]: and to this meaning it is made to accord in the saying, لَهُ عَلَىَّ دِينَارٌ بَلْ دِرْهَمٌ [I owe him a deenár and a dirhem]. (Msb.) b3: In the fol-lowing saying in the Kur [xxxviii. 1],وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِى

الذِّكْرِبَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ, it is said to signify إِنَّ; [so that the meaning is, By the Kur-án possessed of eminence, verily they who have disbelieved are in a state of pride and opposition;] therefore the oath applies to it. (Akh, S.) b4: Sometimes the Arabs use it in breaking off a saying and commencing another; and thus a man commences with it a citation, or recitation, of verse; in which case, it does not form any part of the first verse, but is a sign of the breaking off, or ending, of what precedes. (Akh, S.) b5: Sometimes it is put in the place of رُبَّ, (S, Mughnee,) as in the saying of the rájiz, بَلْ مَهْمَهٍ قَطَعْتُ بَعْدَ مَهْمَهٍ

[Many a far-extending desert have I traversed, after a far-extending desert]. (S: [and a similar ex. is given in the Mughnee.]) b6: What is deficient in this word [supposing it to be originally of three letters] is unknown; and so in the cases of هَلْ and قَدْ: it may be a final و or ى or they may be originally بَلّ and هَلّ and قَدّ. (Akh, S.) بَلٌّ Moist, or containing moisture: or rather moistened; being, app., an inf. n. used in the sense of a pass. part. n. ; like خَلْقٌ in the sense of مَخْلُوقٌ. Hence,] رِيحٌ بَلَّةٌ and ↓بَلِيلٌ and ↓بَلِيلَةٌ A wind in which is moisture: (S:) or the last, a wind mixed with feeble rain: (T:) and the second, a wind cold with moisture; (M, K;) or the same, a wind cold with rain; (A, TA;) the north wind, as though it sprinkled water by reason of its coldness: (TA:) and ↓ بَلَلٌ also signifies a cold north wind: (Ibn-'Abbád, TA:) بَلِيلٌ is used alike as sing. and pl. : (K:) it has no pl. (M.) A2: بَلٌّ بِشَىْءٍ A man (M) devoted, or attached, to a thing, and keeping to it constantly. (M, K. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, اللَّهْجُ is erroneously put for اللَّهِجُ.]) b2: And بَلٌّ, alone, Much given to the deferring of payment to his creditors, by repeated promises; (T;) withholding, by swearing, what he possesses of things that are the rightful property of others. (IAar, T, K.) See also أَبَلٌّ, in two places.

بِلٌّ Allowable, or lawful; i. e., to be taken, or let alone, or done, or made use of, or possessed: (T, S, M, K:) so in the dial. of Himyer: (T, S. M:) or a remedy; (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K;) from the phrase بَلَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ [q. v.]: (A' Obeyd, T, S, M:) or it is an imitative sequent to حِلٌّ, (M, K,) as some say: (M:) so As thought until he heard that it was said to be of the dial. of Himyer in the first of the senses explained above: (S, M:) A'Obeyd and ISk say that it may not be so because it is conjoined with حِلٌّ by وَ: (T:) and A'Obeyd says, We have seldom found an imitative sequent conjoined by و. (TA.) Hence the phrase, هُوَ لَكَ حِلٌّ وَبِلٌّ It is to thee lawful and allowable: or lawful and a remedy. (M, K. *) And hence the saying of El-'Abbás the son of 'Abd-El-Muttalib, respecting [the well of] Zemzem, هِىَ لِشَارِبٍ حِلٌّ وَ بِلٌّ It is to a drinker lawful &c. (T, S, M.) بَلَّةٌ [A single act of moistening. b2: And hence,] The least sprinkling (أَدْنَى بَلَلٍ lit. the least moisture) of good. (TA in art. هل.) You say, جَآءَنَا فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ يَأْتِنَا بِهَلَّةٍ وَلَا بَلَّةٍ [Such a one came to us and did not bring us anything to rejoice us nor the least sprinkling of good]: هلّة, accord. to ISK, being from الفَرَحُ and الاِسْتِهْلَالُ, and بلّة from البَلْلُ and الخَيْرُ. (S.) And مَا أَصَابَ هَلَّةً

وَلَا بَلَّةً He did not obtain, or has not obtained, anything. (S.) b3: Wealth, or competence: (Fr, TA:) or wealth, or competence, after poverty; (Fr, T, K, TA;) as also ↓ بُلَّى. (K.) b4: Remains of herbage or pasture; (K;) as also ↓ بُلَّةٌ. (Fr, T, K.) b5: The freshness of youth; as also ↓ بُلَّةٌ; (M, K; *) but the former word is the more approved. (M.) b6: See also an ex. voce بَلَلٌ.

بُلَّةٌ: see بَلَلٌ, in two places: b2: and see also بَلَّةٌ, in two places. b3: Also A state of moisture. (M.) b4: The moisture of fresh pasture. (S, M, K.) The rájiz (Iháb Ibn-'Omeyr, TA) says, describing [wild] asses, وَ فَارَقَتْهَا بُلَّةُ الأَوَابِلِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَهْرَأْنَ بِالأَصَائِلِ meaning that they went in the cool of the evening to the water after that the herbage had dried up: الاوابل means the wild animals that are satisfied with green pasture, so as to be in no need of water. (S.) بِلَّةٌ: see بَلَلٌ, in two places. b2: Also Good, good fortune, prosperity, or wealth: and sustenance, or means of subsistence. (M, K.) b3: Health; soundness; or freedom from disease.

(K.) You say, مَا أَحْسَنٌ بِلَّةَ لِسَانِهِ (tropical:) [How good is the fluency, &c., of his tongue!].

(M.) [Using syns. of بَلَلٌ in the sense explained above,] you say, طَوَيْتُ

رِبَاعٌ [a pl. of mult.] and أَرْبَاعٌ [a pl. of pauc.]; (S, Msb, K;) both irreg.; for accord. to the rule given by Sb, the pl. should be رِبْعَانٌ [like صرْدَانٌ pl. of صَرَدٌ]: (TA:) pl. fem. رُبَعَاتٌ (S, Msb, K, TA [in the CK, erroneously, رَبْعاتٌ]) and رِبَاعٌ. (K.) Hence the saying, مَا لَهُ هُبَعٌ وَلَا رُبَعٌ He has not a young camel brought forth in the end of the breeding-time nor one brought forth in the beginning thereof. (S, TA.) [See another ex. voce بُلَعٌ.] b2: [Hence, also,] الرُّبَعِ (assumed tropical:) A very small star in the midst of the عَوَائِذ, which are in the head of التِّنِّين [or Draco].

A2: It has also a twofold application; to months and to seasons: and it has a twofold application to months; denoting Two months, (S, Msb, K,) [next] after صَفَرٌ; (S, K;) and they say, (Msb,) one should only say, in speaking of them, شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الأَوَّلُ and شَهْرُ رَبِيعٍ الآخِرٌ; (S, Msb, K;) [but in the margin of the copy of the S which I have here followed, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author the former is شهر ربيعِ الاول (with a single kesreh, and with no syll. sign to الاول); and in another copy of the S I find شهرُ ربيع الاولِ and شَهرُ رَبيع الآخِر;] with the addition of شهر: but it is allowable to say also شَهْرُ رَبِيعِ الأَوَّلِ and شَهْرُ رَبِيعِ الآخِرِ: the word شهر is necessarily added in order to discriminate between the months thus called and the season called ربيع: Az says, the Arabs mention all the months without the word شهر except the two months of ربيع and the month of رَمَضَان: and they say also شَهْرَا رَبِيعٍ and أَشْهُرُ رَبِيعٍ and شُهُورُ رَبِيعٍ: (Msb:) these months were thus called because, when they received this name, they occurred in the season when the earth produced herbage. (Msb in art. جمد.) It has a twofold application also to seasons; الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ being The season in which the truffles and the blossoms come, (S, Msb, K,) and this is [also called] رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ [the rabeea of the herbage, properly called the spring of Arabia]; (S;) and الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى The season in which fruits ripen; (S, Msb, K;) [also called رَبِيعُ الثِّمَارِ;] but some people call this الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ; (S, TA;) and the season which follows the winter, and in which the truffles and the blossoms come, they call الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى; but all of them agree that the خَرِيف [or autumn] is called الرَّبِيعُ: AHn says, the two divisions of the winter [by which he means the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox] are called رَبِيعَانِ; the former being رَبِيعُ المَآءِ وَالأَمْطَار ِ [the rabeea of the water and the rains, in which the rain called الوَسْمِىّ, which is termed the first of the rains, commences]; and the second being رَبِيعُ النَّبَاتِ [or رَبِيعُ الكَلَأِ the rabeea of the herbage], because the herbage therein attains to its last stage: and he adds, that رَبِيعٌ is applied by the Arabs to the whole winter, [meaning, again, the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox,] because of the moisture, or rain: (TA:) or the year consists of six seasons; (so in the K; but in the S, “and I heard Abu-l-Ghowth say, the Arabs make the year to be six seasons; ”) two months thereof are called الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ; and two months, صَيْفٌ; and two months, قَيْظٌ; (S, K;) and two months, ربيع الثانى, (so in a copy of the S,) or رَبِيعٌ الثّانى, (so in another copy of the S, [but in the margin of this latter, I find it stated that in the handwriting of the author it is ربيعُ الثانى, without tenween,]) or الرَّبِيعُ الثَّانِى; (K;) and two months, خَرِيفٌ; and two months, شِتَآءٌ. (S, K.) Az relates, with respect to the seasons and divisions of the year, on the authority of Aboo-Yahyà Ibn-Kibáseh, who possessed very great knowledge thereof, that the year consists of four seasons; namely, الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ, which the vulgar call الخَرِيفُ [The autumn]; then الشِّتَآءُ [the winter]; then الصَّيْفُ, which is الرَّبِيعُ الآخِرُ [or الثَّانِى, i. e. the spring]; then القَيْظُ [the summer, or hot season]: all this is what the Arabs in the desert say: the ربيع which is with the Persians the خريف, he says, commences on the third of أَيْلُول [September O. S.]; and the شِتَآء, on the third of كَانُون الأَوَّل [December O. S.]; and the صيف which is with the Persians the ربيع. on the fifth of آذَار [March O. S.]; and the قيظ which is with the Persians the صيف, on the fourth of حَزِيرَان [June O. S.]: and Aboo-Yahyà adds, the ربيع of the people of El-' Irák agrees with the ربيع of the Persians, which is after the شتاء [or winter], and which is the season of the flowers, or roses, and is the most temperate of the seasons: the people of El-' Irák, he says, have rain in all the winter, and have abundance of herbage in the خريف, which the Arabs call الربيع الاوّل: and Az says, the quarter of the خريف is called خريف because the fruits are gathered therein; and the Arabs call it ربيع because the first rain [which is called الوَسْمِىّ] falls therein. (TA.) The pl. of ربيع is أَرْبِعَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and أَرْبِعَآءُ [a pl. of mult.] (S, Msb, K) and رِبَاعٌ; (AHn, K;) or the first of these is pl. of ربيع الكلأ (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K) and of the ربيع of the months; (Fr, Msb;) but the second is pl. of ربيع in the sense of جَدْوَلٌ, to be explained below. (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K.) Hence the phrase in a supplication, mentioned in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلِ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِى [O God, make Thou the Kur-án to be the life, or ease, of my heart]; because the heart of man becomes lively, or at ease, in the season called رَبِيع. (TA.) Hence also, (TA,) أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ The هُدْهُد [or hoopoe]; (K;) because it appears with the [season called] ربيع. (TA.) [See also, respecting the seasons &c., the word زَمَنٌ.] b2: Also The rain in the [season called] رَبيع [as meaning the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox, (which includes what is really the spring of Arabia, called “ the rabeea of the herbage,”) accord. to a statement of AHn cited above, and accord. to what is stated on the authority of Az voce نَوْءٌ]: (S, K:) or [only, accord. to some,] the rain which is after the وَسْمِىّ, and after which is [that called] the صَيْف, and then the حَمِيم: or, accord. to AHn, rain whenever it comes: Az says, I have heard the Arabs call thus the first rain falling upon the earth in the days of the خَرِيف [or autumn]: (TA:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَرْبِعَةٌ and [of mult.] رِبَاعٌ. (AHn, TA.) [See also, respecting the rains, the word زَمَنٌ.] b3: Also Herbage; green herbage which the beasts eat; (TA;) [properly] the herbage that is produced by the first rain in the quarter which is called the رَبِيع, and which is commonly called the خَرِيف [or autumn], (Msb in art. زمن,) [continuing its growth during the winter-quarter, which is also called the رَبِيع, and which includes, as stated above, what is really the spring of Arabia, called “ the rabeea of the herbage,” wherein, as AHn says, the herbage attains to its last stage: it seems generally to mean the spring-herbage, which is earlier or later in different latitudes:] pl. أَرِْبعَةٌ. (TA.) [Hence,] a poet says, يَدَاكَ يَدٌ رَبِيعُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا وَفِى الأُخْرَى الشُّهُورُ مِنَ الحَرَامِ meaning (assumed tropical:) [Thy two hands are such that] one hand has in it the means of the plentiful subsistence of mankind, [and in the other are the sacred months, i. e.] in the other is [that which causes] security, and safeguard, and the preservation of what is to be regarded as sacred and inviolable. (TA.) [Compare Proverbs iii. 16.] b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A rivulet, or streamlet; (Msb, K;) i. q. جَدْوَلٌ: (S, Msb, K:) or i. q. نَهْرٌ: (Mgh:) or نَهْرٌ صَغِيرٌ: (Har p. 402:) (tropical:) a rivulet, or streamlet, that runs to palmtrees: and رَبِيعُ السَّاقِى, a subst prefixed to its epithet, occurring in a trad., (assumed tropical:) the river [or rivulet] that waters seed-produce: (TA:) pl. أَرْبِعَآءُ (Fr, Yaakoob, S, Msb, K) and رِبْعَانٌ. (TA.) A poet says, describing one drinking much, فُوهُ رَبِيعٌ وَكَفُّهُ قَدَحٌ (assumed tropical:) His mouth is a river [and his hand is a bowl]. (TA.) b5: Also A share, or portion, of water for [irrigating] land, (IDrd, K, TA,) whatever it be: or, as some say, a share, or portion, thereof for the quarter of a day or night; but this is not of valid authority. (TA.) You say, لِفُلَانٍ مِنْ هٰذَا المَآءِ رَبِيعٌ, (K, TA,) or, as in some copies of the K, فِى, instead of مِنْ, i. e. To such a one belongs a share, or portion, of this water [for irrigating land]. (TA.) b6: The dim. of رَبِيعٌ is ↓ رُبَيِّعٌ. (Msb.) رُبَيِّعٌ: see رُبَاعٌ: A2: and see also رَبِيعٌ, last sentence.

رَبَاعَةٌ: see رِبْعَةٌ, in two places.

(S, K.) You say, هُوَ عَلَى رِبَاعَةِ قَوْمِهِ, [properly He is over the affairs of his people, as indicated above, voce رِبْعَةٌ, last sentence,] meaning He is the head, or chief, of his people. (TA.) Abu-l- Kásim El-Isbahánee says, رِبَاعَةٌ is metaphorically used to signify (tropical:) The being a head, or chief; or the office of head, or chief; in consideration of the taking of the مِرْبَاع [or fourth part of the spoil, which was the share of the chief]: and hence one says, لَايُقِيمُ رِبَاعَةَ القَوْمِ غَيْرُ فُلَانٍ (tropical:) [None will act vigorously in the office of head, or chief, of the people, except such a one]. (TA.) رَبِيعَةٌ A stone that is raised, or lifted, (S, K, TA,) for trial of strength: (K, TA:) applied only to a stone. (Az, TA.) A2: A helmet of iron. (Lth, S, K.)

نَابَانِ, and [two called] ضَاحِكَانِ, and six أَرْحَآء, on each side [three], and [two teeth called]

A2: Also fem. of رَبَاعٍ [q. v.]. (S, K.) رَبَّاعٌ One who often buys, or sells, رِبَاع, meaning houses, or places of abode.

A2: رَبِيعٌ رَابِعٌ A fruitful, or plentiful, ربيع [meaning the season so called]. (ISk, K.) b2: One does not say يَوْمٌ رَابِعٌ like as one says يَوْمٌ قَائِظٌ &c., because there is no corresponding verb, like قَاظَ, &c., for such a verb would have no meaning of heat nor of cold. (IB.) A3: هُوَ رَابِعٌ عَلَى حَالِهِ He is abiding, or continuing, in his state, or condition. (TA.) أَرْبَعٌ: see أَرْبَعَةٌ.

[because he meant thereby يَوْمُ الأَرْبِعَآءُ]; but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَتِ الأَرْبِعَآءُ بِمَا فِيهِنَّ, making it fem. and pl., and employing it like a n. of number: (Lh:) Th is related to have mentioned أَرَابِيعُ as a pl. of الأَرْبِعَآءُ; but ISd says, I am not sure of this.
