حبو

1 حَبَا, (Msb, K,) [aor. ـْ inf. n. حُبُوٌّ, (K,) He, or it (a thing, Msb, TA), was, or became, or drew, near. (Msb, K.) And hence, (TA,) حَبَوْتُ لِلْخَمْسِينَ I was, or became, or drew, near to fifty [years]; (S, ISd, TA;) [as also حبوت الخَمْسِينَ; for] IAar says that حَبَاهَا and حَبَا لَهَا both have this signification. (TA.) b2: حَبَتِ الأَضْلَاعُ إِلَى الصُّلْبِ The ribs joined to the backbone; (K;) and in like manner, with the same meaning, one says of the entrails: and the ribs were near to the backbone. (TA.) and حَبَتِ الشَّرَاسِيفُ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) i. e. [The extremities of the ribs, projecting over the belly,] were long, so that they were near one another. (K.) And حَبَا المَسِيلُ The water-course, or channel of a torrent, became [contracted,] so that one part thereof was near to another. (K.) A2: حَبَا, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, said of a child, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) before he stands; (Lth, TA;) as also حَبَى, aor. ـْ inf. n. حَبْىٌ, which, however, is rare; (Msb;) He crept, or crawled, [or dragged himself along,] upon his posteriors; (Mgh;) or so حبا عَلَى اسْتِهِ: (S:) or he went along upon his posteriors, protruding his chest: (K:) or went along on four [or, as we say, on all fours]: in this last sense it is used by the lawyers. (Mgh.) And, said of a man, He went along upon his hands, or arms, and his belly: (K:) or upon his hands, or arms, and his knees: or upon his posteriors: or upon his elbows and knees: (TA:) [or he crept, or crawled: for] you say, مَا جَآءَ إِلَّا حَبْوًا, meaning He came not save creeping, or crawling: and مَانَجَافُلَانٌ إِلَّا حَبْوًا [Such a one escaped not save creeping, or crawling]. (TA.) Also, said of a camel having his fore shank bound up to his arm, He crept, or crawled, along: [or he dragged himself along on the ground:] and, said of a camel, he lay down, and crept, or crawled, [or dragged himself along,] by reason of fatigue: or, as some say, being constrained to ascend a difficult tract of sand, he protruded his chest, and then crept, or crawled. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] said of an arrow, It glided along the ground, and then hit the butt: (S:) or so حبا إِلَى الغَرَضِ. (Msb.) b3: And حبا المَالُ, (K,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, (TA,) The cattle clave to the ground, motionless, by reason of emaciation. (K.) b4: And حَبَتِ السَّفِينَةُ, (K,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, (TA,) The ship ran. (K.) A3: حَبَا لَهُ It (a thing) presented itself, or its breadth, or width, or its side, to him, or it; syn. اِعْتَرَضَ, (K,) or عَرَضَ; (Mgh;) as do, for instance, waves to a ship; (TA;) and as clouds, like a mountain, before they cover the sky. (S.) and حبا الرَّمْلُ, aor. ـْ inf. n. حَبْوٌ, The sands rose up, extending sideways (مُعْتَرِضًا): (TA:) or extended widely. (IAar, TA.) A4: حَبَاهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (TA,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ (TA) and حَبْوَةٌ, (S, TA,) or this is a simple subst, (K,) and the inf. n. is حِبَآءٌ, (Msb,) or this last also is a simple subst., (S, * K,) He gave him (S, Msb, K) a thing (Msb) without any compensation (Msb, K) and without [receiving] any favour, or benefit: or in a general sense. (K. [See also حِبَآءٌ below.]) You say, حَبَاهُ كَذَا and بِكَذَا He (God, or a man,) gave him such a thing without [receiving] any favour, or benefit, and without requital. (Ham pp. 327 and 654.) b2: And also, (K,) aor. as above, inf. n. حِبَآءٌ, (TA,) He denied him, refused him, or refused to give him; (K, TA;) on the authority of IAar only. (TA.) Thus the verb bears two contr. significations. (K.) b3: حبا مَا حَوْلَهُ He defended, protected, or guarded, what was around him; (As, S, K;) as also ↓ حبّاهُ, inf. n. تَحْبِيَةٌ. (S, K.) J cites as an ex. of the former verb, from a poem of Ibn-Ahmar, the phrase لَمْ يَحْبُهَا فَحْلٌ [as though meaning A stallion did not defend them]; referring to she-camels: but accord. to AHn, it means did not regard them; being occupied with himself. (TA.) b4: You say also, فُلَانٌ يَحْبُو قَصَاهُمْ and يَحُوطُ قَصَاهُمْ [Such a one fights in their defence; or defends them in a distant quarter: but generally meant ironically: see 1 in art. حوط]: both signify the same. (Abu-l-'Abbás, TA.) 2 حَبَّوَ see 1.3 حاباهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. مُحَابَاةٌ (Msb, K, KL) and حِبَآءٌ, (K,) He vied, or contended, with him in giving. (KL.) b2: He aided him, or assisted him: he treated him, or behaved towards him, with partiality; was partial towards him: and inclined towards him: (K:) he treated him in an easy and a gentle manner. (Msb.) b3: حاباهُ فِى البَيْعِ, (S, MA,) inf. n. مُحَابَاةٌ, (S, Mgh, KL,) He abated the price, or payment, to him in selling: (MA, KL, PS:) or he treated him in an easy and a gentle manner therein: (TK:) from حِبَآءٌ signifying “ a gift. ” (Mgh.) 4 رَمَى فَأَحْبَى He shot, and made his arrow to fall short of the butt (IAar, K) and then to leap so as to hit the butt. (IAar, TA.) 5 تَحَبَّوَ see what next follows.8 احتبى He drew together and confined his back and his shanks (S, Mgh, Msb, and Har p. 179) with his رِدَآء, (S,) or with a garment, or piece of cloth, or with some other thing, (Mgh, Msb, and Har ubi suprà,) when sitting, to be like him who is leaning [his back against a wall]: (Har ubi suprà:) he drew his legs against his belly with a garment, or piece of cloth, confining them therewith, together with his back, and binding it, or making it tight, upon them, so as to preserve him from falling, [when he sat,] like a wall: (IAth, TA:) and ↓ تحبّى signifies the same: (TA:) or احتبى بِالثَّوْبِ he inwrapped himself with the garment: or he drew together and confined his back and his shanks with a turban or the like: (K:) for the Arabs not having walls in their deserts to lean against in their assembling, the man used to set up his knees in his sitting, and put against them a sword, or surround them [and his back] with a piece of cloth, or knit his hands, or arms, together upon them, and rest against them; this standing him in stead of leaning. (Har ubi suprà.) The doing this in one garment is forbidden, in a trad., lest, by accident, what decency requires to be concealed should become exposed. (IAth, TA.) You say also, احتبى بِيَدَيْهِ [He confined his legs against his belly with his hands, or arms, in sitting, to support himself by so doing]. (S, Msb. *) [See also قُرْفُصَآءُ.] الاِحْتِبَآءُ with the sword is practised on the occasions of making a covenant for mutual protection, or war, or appointing a chief, and the like; because the sword may be wanted in these cases. (Ham p. 711.) حَبًا: see حَبِىٌّ.

حُبَةٌ A grape: (K:) or grapes when they first grow, from the berry, not from planting: (TA:) pl. حُبًى. (K.) حَبْوَةٌ: see حِبَآءٌ.

حُبْوَةٌ a subst. from اِحْتَبَى, (Yaakoob, S, K,) as also ↓ حِبْوَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and حِبْيَةٌ (K) and ↓ حِبَآءُ and ↓ حُبَآءٌ: (Ks, K:) meaning [The act denoted by اِحْتَبَى; i. e. اِحْتِبَآءٌ: and also] a turban, or piece of cloth, or some other thing with which a man performs what is termed الاِحْتِبَآءُ: (Har p. 179:) pl. حُبًى (Yaakoob, TA) and حِبًى. (Yaakoob, S, TA.) [See an ex. from a trad. voce نَمِرَةٌ: and see also a verse of El-Farezdak cited voce حَلَّ.] Hence, حَلَّ حُبْوَتَهُ and عَقَدَ حُبْوَتَهُ mean (assumed tropical:) He rose, or stood up, and (assumed tropical:) He sat. (Har p. 179. The former phrase is also mentioned in the S.) And the saying, الحُبَى حِيطَانُ العَرَبِ [The things used for the purpose of اِحْتِبَآء are the walls of the Arabs: see 8]. (TA.) And the saying, in a trad. of ElAhnaf (when he was asked in a time of war, “ When is forbearance? ”), ↓ عِنْدِ الحُبَآءِ [On the occasion of اِحْتِبَآء]; meaning that forbearance is to be approved in peace, not in war. (TA.) الحبوة on Friday, when the Imám is reciting the khutbeh, is forbidden; because الاِحْتِبَآء induces sleep, and exposes the purity of the worshipper to be annulled. (TA.) A2: See also حِبَآءٌ.

حِبْوَةٌ: see حُبْوَةٌ: A2: and see also حِبَآءٌ.

حُبَآءٌ; see حُبْوَةٌ, in two places.

حِبَآءٌ (S, Mgh, K) a subst. from حَبَاهُ “ he gave him without any compensation ” &c., (K,) as also ↓ حُبْوَةٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ حَبْوَةٌ and ↓ حِبْوَةٌ; (K;) all held by Lh to be inf. ns.: (TA:) or meaning A gift. (S, Mgh.) And the first, The dowry of a woman or wife. (TA.) A2: See also حُبْوَةٌ, in two places.

حَبِىٌّ: see حَابٍ. b2: Also A collection of clouds; syn. سَحَابٌ; because it creeps along; or from حَبَا meaning عَرَضَ, wherefore it is also called عَارِضٌ: (Mgh:) or applied to a collection of clouds as meaning that presents itself, or its breadth, or width, or its side, or extends sideways, (S, Ham p. 785, and EM p. 51,) heaped up, (EM,) in the tracts of the horizon, (Ham,) like a mountain, before it covers the sky; (S, EM;) as also ↓ حَبًا; (S;) so called because near to the earth, (S, Ham,) as though creeping, or crawling, like a child; or from حَبَا; like as سَحَابٌ is from سَحَبَ, (Ham,) or from سَحَبَ أَهْدَابَهُ: (TA:) or, as also ↓ حُبِىٌّ, a collection of clouds overpeering (يُشْرِفُ, in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, يشرق, TA) from the horizon upon the earth: or heaped up, one part above another. (K, TA.) حُبِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

حَابٍ Near; applied to thing of any kind. (S.) [Hence,] حَابِى الحُيُودِ Having the heads of the ribs connected [by means of the cartilages], one with another. (Az, TA.) And إِنَّهُ لَحَابِى

الشَّرَاسِيفِ Verily he is protuberant in the two sides. (S.) b2: Having the shoulder-joints elevated to, or towards, the neck; (K;) applied to a man, and likewise to a camel. (TA.) A2: An arrow that creeps along (KT, K) upon the ground (KT) to the butt, (KT, K,) having fallen short of it: (KT:) or an arrow that glides along the ground, and then hits the butt: pl. حَوَابٍ. (Msb.) Hence the saying, in a trad., إِنَّ حَابِيًا خَيْرٌ مِنْ زَاهِقٍ, i. e. An arrow such as is termed حَابٍ, though weak, having hit the butt, is better than one that goes beyond the butt by its vehemence of passage, and its force, not having hit it: meaning, by the two arrows, one who attains the truth, or right, or a part thereof, though weak; and another who goes beyond it, and far from it, though strong. (TA.) A3: A thing presenting itself, or its breadth, or width, or its side; as also ↓ حَبِىٌّ; (K;) as in the saying of El-'Ajjáj, describing a [vessel such as is called] قُرْقُور, فَهْوَ إِذَا حَبَا لَهُ حَبِىُّ i. e. [So it,] when waves present themselves, or their breadth, &c., to it. (TA.) [Hence,] رَمَلٌ حَابٍ Overpeering sands presenting themselves, or their breadth, &c. (TA.) And جَبَلٌ حَابٍ A heavy, overpeering mountain. (TA.) b2: Also A certain plant: (K:) so called because of its height. (TA.) And حَابِيَةٌ A tract of sand (رَمْلَةٌ), (K, TA,) elevated and overpeering, (TA,) producing that plant. (K, TA.)

(T, TA.) You say, أَنَا أَحْجُو بِهِ خَيْرًا I think, or opine, that there is good in him. (S, TA.) And Aboo-Shembel says, respecting Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, قَدْ كُنْتُ أَحْجُو أَبَا عَمْرٍوأَخَاثِقَةٍ

حَتَّى أَلَمَّتْ بِنَا يَوْمًا مُلِمَّاتُ [I used to think and assert Aboo-'Amr to be a trustworthy person, until, one day, misfortunes befell us]. (TA.) b2: حَجَا القَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا (S, K *) He repaid, requited, compensated, or recompensed, the people, or party, [with, or for, such and such things,] syn. جَزَاهُمْ; [so in my copies of the S, and in the K; but Freytag gives, as the reading found by him in the S, حزاهم, as though meaning he computed them by conjecture to be such and such in number; which is agreeable with what follows;] and he thought them to be so. (S.) A2: He directed himself, or his course or aim, to, or towards, him, or it: (Az, TA:) and ↓ تحجّى

الشَّىْءَ he directed himself, or his course or aim, to, or towards, the thing. (S, TA.) A3: Also, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He kept a secret: (K:) or he concealed it: (Az, TA:) [and ↓ حَاجِى has a similar meaning; for] you say, لَامُحَاجَاةَ عِنْدِى

فِى كَذَا, i. e. There is no concealment with me in respect of such a thing; as also لا مُكَافَأَةَ. (TA.) b2: لَا يَحْجُو إِبِلَهُ, said of a pastor, He does not, or will not, keep and tend, or pasture and defend, his camels. (TA.) One says also of a pastor whose sheep or goats [and camels] are lost by him, and become dispersed, مَا يَحْجُو غَنَمَهُ وَلَا إِبِلَهُ [He does not keep his sheep or goats, nor his camels, from being lost and becoming dispersed]. (TA.) b3: سِقّآءٌ لَا يَحْجُو المَآءَ A skin that will not hold, or retain, water. (TA.) b4: مَاحَجَوْتُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا I did not keep, or retain in my memory, of it, aught; as also ما هَجَوْتُ. (Ks, TA.) A4: Also, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He, or it, prevented, or withheld. (K, TA.) [See حِجًا.]

And بِهٰذَا المَكَانِ ↓ تَحَجَّيْتُ I preceded you, or outwent you, to this place, and clave to it before you. (S, TA.) And [hence,] بِهِمْ ↓ تحجّى is said to mean (assumed tropical:) He was first, or foremost, or quick, to blame them. (TA.) b3: حَجِىَ, (K, TA,) aor. ـَ (TA,) is also [said to be] syn. with عَدَا, (K,) He ran; (TK;) thus bearing two contr. significations: (K:) but this requires consideration. (TA.) b4: [Golius, as on the authority of the KL, assigns to it also the meaning “ Hilaris et lubens fuit: ” but in this sense it is said in the KL to be with ء for its last radical letter: see art. حجأ.]3 حَاْجَوَ ↓ حَاجَيْتُهُ فَحَجَوْتُهُ, (T, S, K,) inf. n. of the former مُحَاجَاةٌ and حِجَآءٌ, (K,) I contended, or vied, with him in intelligence or skill and knowledge, or in endeavouring to show my superiority in intelligence &c., (فَاطَنْتُهُ,) and I overcame him therein; (K;) from حِجًى [or حِجًا] meaning “ intelligence. ” (Har p. 9.) [And hence, I tried him with an enigma or enigmas, and overcame him therein: (see 6:) or] I proposed to him an enigma [&c.]: (T, TA:) [or I contended with him in proposing an enigma or enigmas, &c.]: i. e. دَاعَيْتُهُ فَغَلَبْتُهُ: (S:) so in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà, and in that of Aboo-Sahl, [and in my two copies of the S,] but in [some of the copies of] the S دعيته. (TA.) And حُوجِىَ بِهِ [He was tried with it as an enigma to be explained by him; or he had it proposed to him as an enigma]. (TA.) b2: مُحَاجَاةٌ signifies [also] The asking a thing of one much, so as to weary; as also مُدَاعَاةٌ. (KL.) b3: And حِجَآءٌ, (K, TA,) [accord. to the CK حَجًا, but correctly] like كِتَابٌ, (TA,) An engaging in conflict, or fight.

You say, يَتَحَاجَوْنَ بِأُحْجِيَّةٍ [They try one another with an enigma: or contend, one with another, in proposing an enigma]: (S, TA:) التَّحَاجِى signifying التَّدَاعِى.

A2: Bubbles upon water, arising from the drops of rain: pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] of ↓ حَجَاةٌ: (S, K: [in the CK, erroneously, حِجاة:]) the latter word, which is like حَصَاةٌ, is explained by Az as signifying a bubble that rises upon water, like a flask; and as having for its pl. حَجَوَاتٌ: and the same word (حجاة) signifies also a pool of water, itself, such as is left by a torrent. (TA.) A3: See also حَجِىٌّ.

A4: حَجَا is also used, by poetic license, for حَجَاج, q. v. (TA in art. حج.) حَجٍ: see حَجِىٌّ.

A2: إِنَّهُ لَحَجِىٌ إِلَى بَنِى فُلَانٍ means لَا جِئٌ لَهُمْ [i. e. Verily he is betaking himself for refuge, or protection, to the sons of such a one; like لَحَجِئٌ: but by rule it should be لَحَجٍ; and thus, perhaps, it is correctly written]. (Az, TA.) حِجًا or حِجًى Intelligence, or understanding; (S, Msb, K;) sagacity, or skill and knowledge: (K:) [said to be] from حَجَا meaning “ he, or it, prevented, or withheld; ” because it prevents, or withholds, a man from doing that which is bad, or corrupt.

A4: [Also said by Golius, as on the authority of J, to signify “ an enigma,” as though syn. with

أُحْجِيَّةٌ; but I have not found it in this sense in any copy of the S, nor in any other lexicon.]

حَجَاةٌ: see حَجًا.

حَجْوَى a subst. signifying مُحَاجَاةٌ [i. e. A contention in intelligence &c.; and particularly, in trying with an enigma or enigmas; in proposing an enigma or enigmas; or simply the proposal of an enigma; see 3]; (T, TA;) the subst. denoted by حَاجَيْتُهُ فَحَجَوْتُهُ; (K;) [or rather by the verb حَاجَيْتُ, agreeably with the foregoing explanation from the T;] as also ↓ حُجَيَّا, (S, K, TA,) with a dammeh, (K, TA,) and with teshdeed of the ى; (TA; [in some copies of the K erroneously written حُجْيُا;]) and ↓ أُحْجِيَّةٌ: (S:) or ↓ حُجَيًّا is the dim. of حَجْوَى: (T, TA:) and ↓ أُحْجِيَّةٌ signifies a saying of which the meaning differs from the letter, as also ↓ أُحْجُوَّةٌ, (K,) but احجيّة is preferable, (T, TA,) and كَلِمَةٌ

↓ مُحْجِيَةٌ, (K,) like مُحْسِنَةٌ; (TA; [in the CK, erroneously, مُحْجِيَّةٌ;]) [i. e.] ↓ أُحْجِيَّةٌ signifies an enigma; a riddle; (MA, PS, TK;) and so ↓ حُجَيَّا; (PS;) or a question put to one with the view of causing him to make a mistake; (TA;) and is from حِجًى [or حِجًا] meaning “ intelligence,” because مُحَاجَاةٌ is like a vying, or contending, in intelligence: (Har p. 9:) the pl. of ↓ أُحْجِيَّةٌ is أَحَاجِىُّ and أَحَاجٍ, (MA, and Har ubi suprà,) agreeably with a general rule relating to words of its measure, as أُثْفِيَّةٌ and أُمْنِيَّةٌ. (Seer, in Har ubi suprà.) One says, مَاكَانَ ↓ حُجَيَّاكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا [The question of contention with thee in trying thine intelligence by an enigma, or the enigma proposed to thee, is, What is, or was, such a thing, and such a thing?]: it means a certain game, and a question put with the view of causing one to make a mistake: A 'Obeyd says, It is like their saying, Disclose what is in my hand, and thou shalt have such a thing. (S.) One says also, فِى هٰذَا ↓ أَنَا حُجَيَّاكَ, meaning مَنْ يُحَاجِيكَ [i. e. I am he who contends with thee in intelligence, or in trying with an enigma, &c., respecting this thing]. (S.) And ↓ بَيْنَهُمْ أُحْجِيَّةٌ يَتَحَاجَونَ بِهَا [Between them is a contention in intelligence, or in proposing enigmas, or between them is an enigma, with which they try one another]. (S.) هُوَحَجِىٌّ بِهِ He is adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, for it; or worthy of it; as also ↓ حَجٍ, (S, M, K, TA,) of which the pl. is حَجُونَ; (TA;) and ↓ حَجًى, (S, M, K, TA,) which last has no fem. nor dual nor pl. form, (S, M,) retaining the same form as fem. and dual and pl.: (M:) and in like manner you say, أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ ↓ إِنَّهُ لَمَحْجَاةٌ Verily he is adapted, &c., to do that; (S, K; *) and إِنَّهَا لَمَحْجَاةٌ; and إِنَّهُمْ لَمَحْجَاةٌ. (S.) b2: حَجِىٌّ is also syn. with حَرِيصٌ [Vehemently desirous, eager, &c.]. (KL.) حُجَيَّا: see حَجْوَى, in five places.

A2: Respecting this word in the phrase حثجْ حُجَيَّاكَ, see حَاجَةٌ (in art. حوج), near the end of the paragraph.

أحْجَى More, and most, adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, proper, or worthy: (TA, Ham p. 523:) so in the saying, هُوَ أَحْجَى أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا [He is more, or most, adapted, &c., to be thus; or worthy of being thus]: (TA:) and فُلَانٌ أَحْجَى بِكَذَا [Such a one is more, or most, adapted, &c., for such a thing; or worthy of it]. (Ham ubi suprà.) Hence, in a trad., مَعَاشِرُ هَمْدَانَ أَحْجَى حَىٍّ بِالكُوفَةِ [The companies of Hemdán are the most worthy tribe in El-Koofeh]: or, as some say, the meaning is, the most intelligent tribe. (TA.) أُحْجُوَّةٌ: see حَجْوَى.

أُحْجِيَّةٌ: see حَجْوَى, in five places.

مَحْجًى: see حَجًا.

مُحْجٍ Niggardly, tenacious, or avaricious. (K.) A2: كَلَمَةٌ مُحْجِيَةٌ: see حَجْوَى.

مَحْجَاةٌ: see حَجِىٌّ.

صلو

1 صَلَوْتُهُ, (K,) or صَلَوْتُ الظَّهْرَ, (M,) I struck, or beat, that part, [of him, or] of the back, which is called صَلًا: (M:) or I hit that part (M, K) with a thing, or with an arrow or some other thing: on the authority of Lh, who says that it is of the dial. of Hudheyl: and one says also صَلَيْتُهُ; which is extr. [with respect to derivation], unless it be an instance of interchangeableness [of و and ى]. (M.) A2: صَلِيَتْ and صَلَتْ, said of a mare, or she-camel: see 4.2 صلّى, (S, M, K,) quasi-inf. n. صَلَاةٌ or صَلٰوة, for which one should not say تَصْلِيَةٌ, (S, K,) or the latter is allowable as agreeable with rule and as occurring in old poetry, (MF, TA,) He prayed, supplicated, or petitioned: (S, M, K:) and [particularly] he performed the divinely-appointed act [of prayer commonly] termed صَلَاة or صَلٰوة. (S.) Hence, in the Kur [ix. 104], (TA,) وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ And pray thou for them. (Msb, TA.) صَلَّى عَلَى

فُلَانٍ means He prayed for such a one, and praised him. (TA.) And hence the verse of ElAashà cited in art. رسم, conj. 8. (S, Mgh, * TA.) It is said in a trad., مَنْ دُعِىَ إِلَى وَلِيمَةٍ فَلْيُجِبْ وَإِلَّا فَلْيُصَلِّ [i. e. Whoso is invited to a banquet, or a marriage-feast, let him comply, or, if not, let him pray for the inviter]. (M.) And the saying, in a verse of El-Aashà, عَلَيْكِ مِثْلَ الَّذِى صَلَّيْتِ means Keep thou to the like of thy prayer; i. e. he enjoined her to repeat the prayer for him: or, as some relate it, عَلَيْكِ مِثْلُ الَّذِى صَلَّيْتِ, meaning upon thee be the like of that for which thou hast prayed: (M:) these words he addressed to his daughter, on the occasion of her saying, “O my Lord, ward off from my father diseases and pain. ” (Mgh.) The saying عَبِيدُ فُلَانٍ يُصَلُّونَ [The slaves of such a one perform the divinely-appointed act of prayer] means that they have attained to the age of virility. (Mgh.) b2: صلّى عَلَيْهِ, said of an angel, means He prayed for, or begged, forgiveness, or pardon, for him: and thus the verb sometimes means when said of other than an angel; as in the trad. of Sowdeh, in which it is said, إِذَا مِتْنَا صَلَّى لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ [When we die, 'Othmán Ibn-Madh'oon will pray for forgiveness for us]; he having then died. (TA.) b3: [And, said of a man, He blessed him, meaning he invoked God's blessing upon him; namely, the Prophet; or he said, اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ (expl. by what here follows) accord. to the rendering of صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ, i. e. عَلَى النَّبِىِّ, by Bd and others in the Kur xxxiii. 56.] One says, صَلَّيْتُ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ [I blessed the Prophet; &c.]. (S.) b4: And, said of God, He blessed him, meaning He conferred blessing upon him: and He had mercy on him: and He magnified him, or conferred honour upon him: hence the saying, اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِى أَوْفَى, meaning O God, bless the family of Aboo-Owfà: or have mercy on &c.: but in the saying [in the Kur xxxiii. 56], إِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ, the verb does not import two meanings; for it has there only one meaning, which is “ magnification ”

[i. e. these words mean Verily God and his angels magnify the Prophet; or rather I would render them, bless the Prophet, as this rendering implies magnification and also a meaning of the quasi-inf. n. given in the M and K, which is “ eulogy,” or “ commendation,” bestowed by God upon his apostle, while it imports God's

“ conferring of blessing ” and the angels' “ invoking thereof ” ]: (Msb, TA:) [it is said that]

اللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ means O God, magnify Mohammad in the present world by exalting his renown and manifesting his invitation [to ElIslám] and rendering permanent his law, and in the world to come by accepting his intercession for his people and multiplying his reward: and it is disputed whether or not this form of prayer may be used for any but the Prophet [Mohammad]: El-Khattábee says that it may not, though he himself used it for others. (TA.) [صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ is a phrase commonly used by the Muslims after the mention of their prophet: see art. سلم.

See also صَلَاةٌ below.]

A2: صلّى said of a horse, (S, K,) inf. n. تَصْلِيَةٌ, (TA,) He followed next after the foremost [in a race, at the goal]. (S, K.) Hence the saying [in a trad. of 'Alee], سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ [expl. in art. سبق]. (Mgh.) b2: And صلّى الحِمَارُ أُتُنَهُ, (Sgh, K,) inf. n. تَصْلِيَةٌ, (Sgh, TA,) The [wild] ass drove together his she-asses, and made them to take the way [that he would follow]. (Sgh, K, TA.) 4 أَصْلَتْ, (T, S, K, TA,) and ↓ صَلِيَتْ, (Fr, K, TA,) and ↓ صَلَتْ, (Zj, TA,) said of a mare, The parts on the right and left of her tail, (صَلَوَاهَا, S,) or the part on either side of her tail, (صَلَاهَا, K, [see صَلًا, below,]) became relaxed, she being near to bringing forth: (S, K:) or, said of a she-camel, her young one fell into the part of her called صَلًا, and she was near to bringing forth. (T, TA.) صَلًا The middle of the back of a human being and of any quadruped: (M, K:) and, (K,) or as some say, (M,) [app. in a beast,] the part that slopes down from the hips, or haunches: or the space intervening between the جَاعِرَة [app. meaning the hinder projection of the haunch or rump of a beast] and the tail: (M, K:) or the part on the right and left of the tail; (S, M, K;) the two together being called [the] صَلَوَانِ, (S, K,) which is similarly expl. by Zj in relation to a she-camel; app. properly meaning the two parts bordering upon the tail-bone: (TA:) or the place in which is set the tail of the horse; dual as above: (Msb:) or the bone upon which are the two buttocks: (Mgh: [there thus expl. in relation to a man:]) or the bone in which is the place of setting of the tail-bone; thus expl. by IDrd: or the صَلَوَانِ are the two bones projecting from the two sides of the rump: or, accord. to some of the lexicologists, two veins (عِرْقَانِ) in the place of the رِدْف [i. e. in the rump]: (Ham p. 46:) the pl. is صَلَوَاتٌ, (M, K,) an instance of a pl. formed by the addition of ا and ت from a masc. sing., (M,) and أَصْلَآءٌ. (M, K.) b2: [Hence,] one says, جِئْتُ فِى أَصْلَائِهِمْ, meaning I came at their rears. (TA.) صَلَاةٌ, or صَلٰوة, [accord. to El-Hareeree, to be written with ا when prefixed to a pronoun, and also in the dual number, (see De Sacy's Anthol. Gram. Arabe, p. 67 of the Arabic text,) but this rule I have not found to be generally observed, even in the best MSS., nor have I in the similar case of حَيٰوةٌ, (to which it is also applied,) in the best copies of the Kur-án,] is said to be [originally صَلَوَةٌ,] of the measure فَعَلَةٌ, (Mgh, MF, TA,) or, accord. to some, [صَلْوَةٌ,] of the measure فَعْلَةٌ: (MF, TA:) it is a quasi-inf. n. of صَلَّى [q. v.]: (S, K:) and [used as a simple subst.] it signifies Prayer, supplication, or petition: (S, M, Msb, K:) this is said to be its primary signification: and ↓ مُصَلًّى is said to have the same meaning. (Msb, TA.) b2: Then applied to signify A certain well-known mode, or manner, [of religious service,] because comprising prayer; (Msb;) [the divinelyappointed act of prayer;] one of the divinelyappointed صَلَوَات; (S;) a certain religious service in which are رُكُوع [or lowering of the head so that the palms of the hands reach the knees] and سُجُود [or prostration of oneself in a particular manner expl. voce سَجَدَ]: (M, * K:) and ↓ مُصَلًّى is said to have the same meaning. (TA.) [The performance of this act is fully described in my work on the Modern Egyptians.] It is said to be, in this sense, a proper term of the law, not indicated by the language of the Arabs [before El-Islám] except as importing prayer, which is its primary signification: what Esh-Shiháb says respecting it necessarily implies its being a proper term of the law known to the Arabs [before ElIslám]: in the Mz it is said to be one of the words of El-Islám: but all of these sayings require consideration. (MF, TA, [Much more, which I omit as being unprofitable, is added on this point in the TA, partly from the Msb; as well as several different opinions respecting the derivation of the word as used in this sense, which are fanciful or absurd.]) The saying of the Prophet, لَا صَلٰوةَ لِجَارِ المَسْجِدِ إِلَّا فِى المَسْجِدِ means There is no صلوة [or divinely-appointed act of prayer] that is excellent or complete [to the neighbour of the mosque unless in the mosque]. (M.) And his saying, to Usámeh, الصَّلٰوةُ أَمَامَكَ means The time of the صلوة [or divinely-appointed prayer], or the place thereof, [is before thee,] alluding to that of sunset. (Mgh.) And he used the term الصَّلٰوةُ as meaning سُورَةُ الصَّلٰوةِ, i. e. The فَاتِحَة [or Opening Chapter of the Kur-án, because it is a form of prayer, or] because the recital thereof is excellent, or satisfactory. (Mgh.) In the Kur xxii. 41, (I' Ab, S, M, Ksh, Bd,) [the pl.] صَلَوَاتٌ meansPlaces of worship of the Jews: (I' Ab, S, M, Ksh, Bd, K:) said to be (Ksh, Bd) originally صَلُوتَا, a Hebrew word, (Ksh, Bd, K,) arabicized: (Ksh, Bd:) this is the common reading of the word, and the most valid: other readings are صُلُوَاتٌ and صُلَوَاتٌ and صِلَوَاتٌ; and beside these, some others which are perverted forms. (TA.) b3: Also Prayer for forgiveness or pardon. (M, Mgh, K.) b4: [And A blessing, as meaning an invocation of God's blessing upon any one. See 2.]

b5: And i. q. بَرَكَةٌ [as meaning A blessing, such as is bestowed by God]: (Msb:) and mercy (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) of God (S, M) on his apostle: (M:) and magnification; and this is [said to be] specially denoted by its verb when the Prophet is the object: (Msb:) and God's eulogy, or commendation, bestowed upon his apostle. (M, K.) A2: الصَّلَاةُ [from صَلًا] also means إِتْيَانُ المَرْأَةِ فِى

دُبُرِهَا. (TA in art. صوم.) مُصْلِيَةٌ part. n. of أَصْلَتْ [q. v.] said of a she-camel [or of a mare]. (T, TA.) مُصَلًّى A place of الصَّلَاة [as meaning the performance of the divinely-appointed act of prayer]; (Mgh, Msb, K;) or of any prayer or supplication: (Mgh:) [and particularly] a place of the performance of the divinely-appointed prayer on the occasion of the [festival termed] عِيد: (MA:) [and also such a place at a burial-ground: the place for this purpose is particularly termed مُصَلَّى الأَمْوَاتِ: see De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, sec. ed., i. 192.] b2: And A carpet upon which one performs the divinely-appointed act of prayer. (MA.) b3: See also صَلَاةٌ, former half, in two places.

مُصَلٍّ Any one praying [in any manner: and particularly performing the divinely-appointed act of prayer]. (TA.) A2: And المُصَلَِّى signifies, as applied to a horse, The one that follows next after the foremost [at the goal] (S, M, Mgh, Msb) in a race: (Mgh, Msb:) because his head is next to the part called صَلًا, (Lh, S, M, Msb,) or next to the صَلَوَانِ, (Mgh,) of the foremost. (Lh, S, M, Mgh, Msb.)
