And رَــفَتَ عِظَامَ الجَزُورِ He broke the bones of the slaughtered camel, in order to cook them and to extract their grease.

A2: (See also 9.) 2 رفّتــهُ, inf. n. تَرْفِيتٌ, He broke it [app. much, or into many pieces]: b2: and hence, (assumed tropical:) He dishonoured, despised, or condemned, him; تَرْفِيتٌ being syn. with تَحْقِيرٌ, and contr. of تَرْفِيلٌ and تَعْظِيمٌ. (Er-Rághib, TA. *) 9 ارفتّ, as also ↓ رَــفَتَ, (M, K,) the latter being intrans. as well as trans., (K, * TA,) It was, or became, broken, broken in pieces, crushed, bruised, brayed, or pounded: (M, K:) said of a bone; i. e., it became what is termed رُفَاتٌ. (M.) and It became cut or broken, cut off or broken off; it broke, or broke off: (K, TA:) the former is said, in this sense, of a rope. (A, TA.) رُــفَتٌ i. q. تِبْنٌ [i. e. Straw; or straw that has been trodden, or thrashed, and cut: also written رُفَّةٌ, and رُفَةٌ, and رُفَةٌ]. (IAar, T, K.) It is said in a prov., أَنَا أَغْنَى عَنْكَ مِنَ التُّفَهِ عَنِ الرُّــفَتِ, (TA,) or إِلَى الرُّــفَتِ (T,) [I am more free from the want of thee than the badger is from the want of straw, or cut straw]: the تفه is what is called عَنَاقُ الأَرْضِ, which has a canine tooth, and does not procure for itself straw nor herbage; and the word is written with ه; but الرفت is with ت: (T:) or, accord. to ISk, the two words are correctly without teshdeed, and with the radical ه.

(A, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xvii. 52 and 100], أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا وَرُفَاتًا When we shall have become bones and broken particles? (S, M, TA.) [Hence also the phrase] لَا بِرْفَاتِكَ, meaning No, by thy ancestors who have become broken and crumbled bones in the dust. (Har p. 634.) And [hence one says,] هُوَ الَّذِى أَعَادَ المَكَارِمَ وَأَحْيَا رُفَاتَهَا وَأَنْشَرَ أَمْوَاتَهَا (tropical:) [He is the person who has restored generous qualities or actions, and revived such of them as had decayed, and brought to life again such of them as had become dead].
