(Ibn-'Abbád, O, K, *) طَرَفٌ The extremity, or end, of anything; [as of a sword, and of a spear, and of a rope, and of the tongue, &c.;] thus accord. to ISd; but in the K this meaning is assigned to ↓ طَرْفٌ: (TA: [several evidences of the correctness of the former word in this sense will be found in the present art.; and countless instances of it occur in other arts. &c.: it seems to have been generally regarded by the lexicographers as too notorious to need its being mentioned:]) and a side; a lateral, or an outward, or adjacent, part or portion; a region, district, quarter, or tract; syn. نَاحِيَةٌ: (S, O, Msb, K:) and a part, portion, piece, or bit, (syn. طَائِفَةٌ,) of a thing: (S, O, K:) it is used in relation to bodies, or material things, and to times &c.; (Er-Rághib, TA;) and is thus used in the sense of طَائِفَة of a people, in the Kur iii. 122; (Ksh;) [and may often be rendered somewhat of a thing, whether material (as land &c.) or not material (as in the T and S voce ذَرْوٌ, where it is used of a saying, and as in the S and A and K in art. هوس &c., where it is used of madness, or insanity, or diabolical possession):] the pl. is أَطْرَافٌ. (O, Msb, K.) b2: [Hence,] الأَطْرَافُ signifies The fingers: and [when relating to the fingers] has no sing. unless this is used as a prefixed noun, as in the saying أَشَارَتْ بِطَرَفِ إِصْبَعِهَا [She made a sign with the end of her finger]: but the pl. is said by Az to be used in the sense of the sing. in the following ex. cited by Fr, يُبْدِينَ أَطْرَافًا لِطَافًا عَنَيَهٌ [so that the meaning is, They show an elegant finger like a fruit of the species of tree called عَنَم]; therefore the poet says عَمَنَه [which is a n. un.: but I think that it is much more reasonable, and especially as the verb is pl., to regard the ه in this case as the ه of pausation, of which see an ex. voce حِينٌ; and accordingly to render the saying, they show elegant fingers like fruits of the عَنَم]. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of Abraham, when he was a little child, جُعِلَ رِزْقُهُ فِى أَطْرَافِهِ [His sustenance was made to be in his fingers]; meaning that he used to suck his fingers and find in them that which nourished him. (TA.) b3: And [hence] أَطْرَافُ العَذَارَى (tropical:) A species of grapes, (A, K, TA,) white and slender, found at Et-Táïf: (A, TA:) or, as in the L, black and long, resembling acorns, likened to the fingers of virgins, that are dyed [with حِنَّآء], because of their length; and the bunch of which is about a cubit long. (TA.) b4: ذُو الطَّرَفَيْنِ is an appellation of A sort of serpent, (K,) a sort of black serpent, (TA,) or the [serpent called] أَسْوَد, (O,) having two stings, one in its nose and the other in its tail, with both of which, (O, K, TA,) so it is said, (O, TA,) it smites, and it suffers not him whom it smites to linger, killing at once. (O, K, TA.) b5: طَرَفَا الدَّابَّةِ sometimes means The fore part and the hinder part of the beast. (TA.) b6: and أَطْرَافُ الجَسَدِ (O) or البَدَنِ (K) means [The extremities of the body; i. e.] the arms or hands, and the legs or feet, and the head: (O, K:) or, as in the L, أَطْرَافٌ is pl. of طَرَفٌ as syn. with شَوَاةٌ [n. un. of شَوًى, q. v.]. (TA.) b7: [And the dual has various other meanings assigned to it, derived from the first of the significations mentioned in this paragraph.] It is said in a trad. (O, K) of the Prophet, (O,) كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَكَى أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ لَمْ تَزَلِ البُرْمَةُ عَلَى النَّارِ حَتَّى يَأْتِىَ عَلَى أَحَدِ طَرَفَيْهِ [It was the case that when any one of his family had a complaint, the cooking-pot did not cease to be on the fire but he arrived at one of his two limits]; meaning (assumed tropical:) convalescence or death; because these are the two terminations of the case of the diseased. (O, K.) b8: And one says, لَا يَمْلِكُ طَرَفَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He will not have control over his mouth and his anus: referring to him who has drunk medicine or become intoxicated. (AO, ISk, S, O, K.) b9: And فُلَانٌ فَاسِدُ الطَّرَفِيْنِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one is corrupt in respect of the tongue and the فَرْج. (TA.) b10: And لَا يَدْرِى أَىُّ طَرَفَيْهِ أَطْوَلُ, (in the CK يُدْرَى,) [He will not, or does not, know which of his two extremities is the longer,] meaning (tropical:) his ذَكَر and his tongue; (S, O, K, TA;) whence طَرَفٌ is used as signifying (assumed tropical:) the tongue: (TA:) or the meaning is, as some say, (assumed tropical:) which of his two halves is the longer; the lower or the upper: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) the lineage of his father or that of his mother (O, K, TA) in respect of generosity, or nobility: (O, TA:) i. e., which of his two parents is the more generous, or noble: so says Fr. (TA.) b11: كَرِيمُ الطَّرَفَيْنِ means (tropical:) Generous, or noble, [on both sides, i. e.] in respect of male and female ancestors. (S, O, TA.) b12: And أَطْرَافٌ means also (assumed tropical:) A man's father and mother and brothers and paternal uncles and any relations whom it is unlawful for him to marry. (Az, S, O, K.) b13: And (assumed tropical:) Noble, or exalted, men: (Th, S:) or أَطْرَافُ الأَرْضِ means (tropical:) the noble, or exalted, men, and the learned men, of the earth, or land: (O, K, TA:) one of whom is termed طَرَفٌ, or ↓ طِرْفٌ. (O, See the latter of these words.) And hence, as some explain it, the saying in the Kur [xiii. 41, like one in xxi. 45], أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا نَأْتِى الْأَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا (assumed tropical:) [Have they not seen that we visit, or bring destruction upon, the land, curtailing it of its learned men?]; the meaning being, the death of its learned men: (O, TA:) or, as some say, [curtailing it of its inhabitants and its fruits; for they say that] the meaning is, the death of its inhabitants and the diminution of its fruits: (TA:) or it means, curtailing it of its sides, or districts, one by one: (Az, O, L:) Ibn-'Arafeh says that the meaning is, we lay open by conquest, to the Prophet, (نَفْتَحُ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ,) the country around Mekkeh. (O, TA.) [b14: أَطْرَافُ النَّاسِ also means (assumed tropical:) The lower orders of the people: but this I believe to be post-classical.] b15: طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ, in the Kur 11:114, means غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيَّةً [i. e. Morning and afternoon]; by the former being meant daybreak; and by the latter, noon and the عَصْر [q. v.], (Ksh, Bd,) or the عَصْر [only]. (Bd.) And أَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ, in the Kur 20:130, means At daybreak and at sunset: (Ksh, Bd:) or at noon and at the عَصْر; so says Zj: or, accord. to IAar, in the hours (سَاعَات) of the day: Abu-l-'Abbás says that it means طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ. (TA.) b16: [عَلَى طَرَفٍ often occurs as meaning Beside, aside, or apart; like على جَانِبٍ, and على نَاحِيَةٍ: and in like manner the Persians say بَرْ طَرَفْ. b17: and مِنْ طَرَفِ فُلَانٍ is often used as meaning On the part of such a one; but is perhaps post-classical.] b18: And you say, لِلْأَمْرِ طَرَفَانِ [meaning (assumed tropical:) There are two ways of performing the affair, either of which may be chosen; as though it had two ends, or two sides]. (TA voce صَرْعٌ.) And جَعَلَهُ مُطْلَقَ الطَّرَفَيْنِ (assumed tropical:) [He made it allowable, or free, in respect of both the alternatives, either way one might choose to take]. (Msb in art. بوح.) b19: [And hence, perhaps,] طَرَفٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Anything chosen or choice: pl. أَطْرَافٌ: [whence]

أَطْرَافُ الحَدِيثِ means (assumed tropical:) Chosen, or choice, subjects of discourse; as also الحَدِيثِ ↓ طَرَائِفُ: and أَطْرَافُ الأَحَادِيثِ means [the same, or] colloquies of friends, consisting of mutual communications, and oblique expressions, and allusions: so says ISd: and this is likewise a meaning of ↓ الطِّرَافُ and السِّبَابُ, which latter [properly signifying “ mutual reviling ”] is given in the K as an explanation of the former. (TA.) b20: Also Flesh, or flesh-meat; syn. لَحْمٌ. (TA.) طَرِفٌ, in the K ↓ طِرْف, but the former is the right, (TA,) A male camel that removes from one pasturage to another; (K, TA;) not keeping constantly to one pasturage. (TA.) And طَرِفَةٌ A she-camel that does not keep constantly to one pasturage; (S, O, K;) that depastures the extremities, or sides, of the pasturage, and tastes, and does not keep constantly to one pasturage: (Har p. 569:) or, accord. to As, that looks at the meadows (تَطْرِفُ الرِّيَاضَ), meadow after meadow [app. to pasture upon them in succession]: (TA:) and ↓ مُسْتَطْرِفَةٌ, so applied, signifies the same as طَرِفَةٌ: (TA, but not as on the authority of As:) and ↓ مِطْرَافٌ, so applied, that will not feed upon a pasturage unless she choose anew, or take the first of, (حَتَّى تَسْتَطْرِفَ,) another. (As, S, O, K.) b2: And [hence (see 10)] طَرِفٌ applied to a man signifies (assumed tropical:) That does not keep constantly to a wife, or woman, nor to a companion: (S, O, K:) and ↓ طِرْف, thus accord. to the K, (TA, [in which it is said that by rule it should be طَرِفٌ, as above,]) a man who does not keep constantly to the companionship of one person, by reason of his weariness. (K.) And ↓ مُتَطَرِّفَةٌ applied to a woman (assumed tropical:) That chooses new ones of the men (تَسْتَطْرِفُ الرِّجَالَ), not keeping constantly to a husband; as being likened to the she-camel termed طَرِفَةٌ. (Har p. 569.) A2: And طَرِفٌ, applied to a she-camel, (O, K, [but in some of the copies of the latter, where it follows next after another explanation of the epithet thus applied, mentioned above, “or,”]) accord. to IAar, Whose fore part of the head has gradually shed its hair (الَّتِى تَحَاتَّ مُقَدَّمُ الرَّأْسِ فِيهَا, O) or whose fore part of her mouth has shed its teeth one after another (التى تَحَاتَّ مُقَدَّمُ فِيهَا, K) by reason of extreme age. (O, K. [See 2, last sentence.]) A3: Also, and ↓ طَريفٌ (assumed tropical:) Contr. of قُعْدُدٌ; (S, M, K, TA;) i. e., as the latter is further expl. in the S, and each in the M, having many ancestors, up to the greatest [i. e. most remote] forefather; and J adds that sometimes it is used in praise: thus also As explains النَّسَبِ ↓ طَرِيفُ: accord. to IAar, طَرِيفٌ signifies منحدر فى النَّسَبِ [app. مُنْحَدِرٌ, as though meaning of long descent]; and he says that it is with the Arabs more noble than قُعْدُدٌ: the pl. of طَرِفٌ as meaning the contr. of قُعْدُدٌ is طَرِفُونَ; and the pl. of ↓ طَرِيفٌ in the same sense is طُرُفٌ and طُرَفٌ and طُرَّافٌ, the second and third of which pls. are anomalous. (TA.) b2: [طَرِفٌ seems also to have the contr. meaning; or (assumed tropical:) One whose nobility is recent: and the like is said of قُعْدُدٌ; that it has two contr. meanings:] see طِرْفٌ.

طَرْفَةٌ [A wink, i. e.] a closing of one of the eyelids upon the other: (S, O, K:) or [a twinkling of the eye, i. e.] a putting the eyelids in motion or in a state of commotion. (K.) One says أَسْرَعُ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ [Quicker than a wink, or a twinkling of an eye]. (S, O.) And مَا يُفَارِقُنِى طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ [He does not separate himself from me during a wink, or a twinkling of an eye]. (TA.) b2: Also A red spot of blood, in the eye, occasioned by a blow or some other cause. (S, O, K.) b3: And A brand, or mark made with a hot iron, having to it no أَطْرَاف [or sides, or lateral portions], being only a line. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) A2: And الطَّرْفَةُ A certain star or asterism (نَجْمٌ). (K. [There thus mentioned as though different from the asterism commonly called الطَّرْفُ, which I do not believe to be the case: see the latter appellation.]) طُرْفَةٌ A hurt of the eye, occasioning its shedding tears. (K.) A2: And Newly-acquired property; (S, O, K;) anything that one has newly acquired, and that pleases him; as also ↓ أُطْرُوفَةٌ; (TA;) a thing newly acquired; (Har p. 54;) and a thing that is strange and deemed good; (Id. p.

615;) [a pleasing rarity;] a welcome, or pleasing, thing; (KL;) and a gift not given to any one before; (K, * TA;) and a gift of which the recipient did not possess the like, and which pleases him; (TA;) [generally, a novel, or rare, and pleasing, present; like تُرْفَةٌ and تُحْفَةٌ:] pl. طُرَفٌ. (Har p. 32.) [See also طَرِيفٌ and طَرِيفَةٌ.]

طَرَفَةٌ A single tree of the species called طَرْفَآء, q. v. (AHn, S, O, K.) طُرْفَى Remoteness in lineage from the [chief, or oldest,] ancestor: قُعْدَى is nearer therein. (IB, TA.) [See طَرِفٌ.]

طَرْفَآء [accord. to some طَرْفَآءٌ and accord. to others طَرْفَآءُ, as will be seen from what follows,] A kind of trees, (S, O, K,) of which there are four species, one of these being the أَثْل [q. v.]: (K:) [or it is different from the أَثْل: the name is now generally applied to the common, or French, tamarisk; tamarix gallica of Linn.: (Forskål's Flora Aegypt. Arab. p. lxiv. no. 181; and Delile's Floræ Aegypt. Illustr. no. 349:)] AHn says, it is of the kind called عِضَاه; its هَدَب [q. v.] are like those of the أَثْل; it has no wood fit for carpentry, coming forth only as even and smooth rods towards the sky; and sometimes the camels eat it as حَمْض [q. v.] when they find no other حَمْض: AA, he adds, says that it is a sort of حَمْض: (TA:) the n. un. is ↓ طَرَفَةٌ, (AHn, S, O, K,) [which is irreg.,] and طَرْفَآءَةٌ, (AHn, O, K, [in the CK, erroneously, طَرْفَاةٌ,]) [and this requires طَرْفَآء to be with tenween, as a coll. gen. n.,] or, accord. to Sb, طَرْفَآء is sing. and pl.: (S, O:) or it is a pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] of طَرَفَةٌ, like as شَجْرَآءُ is of شَجَرَةٌ: (S in art. شجر: [see شَجَرٌ:]) or it is coll. gen. n.: accord. to IJ, the ء in طَرْفَآء is a denotative of the fem. gender; but in طَرْفَآءَةٌ, the ة is a denotative of the fem. gender, and the ء is augmentative. (M, TA.) b2: Also A place of growth of the طَرَفَة. (TA.) طِرَافٌ The portion that is taken [app. meaning cut] from the extremities (أَطْرَاف) of corn, or seed-produce. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) b2: تَوَارَثُوا المَجْدَ طِرَفًا means عَنْ شَرَفٍ [i. e. They inherited, one after another, glory from nobility of ancestry]. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) b3: See also طَرِيفٌ. b4: and see طَرَفٌ, last sentence but one.

(K.) b2: Also, the first, A thing that is good [and recent or new or fresh]: (Msb:) what is strange, (IAar, K, TA,) [or rare,] and coloured, or of various colours, (IAar, TA,) [or pleasing to the eye,] of fruits and other things, (IAar, K, TA,) مِمَّا يستطرف بِهِ [in which يستطرف is evidently a mistranscription for يُطْرَفُ, i. e., of such things as are given as طُرَف (pl. of طُرْفَة) meaning rare and pleasing gifts]. (TA, from IAar.) b3: See also طَرِفٌ, latter part, in three places.

طَرِيفَةٌ The plant called نَصِىّ when it has become white (S, O, K, TA) and dry: (TA:) or when it has attained its full perfection; (ISk, S, O, K, TA;) and the plant called صِلِّيَان in this same state: (ISk, S, O, TA:) or the first of any herbage that the cattle choose and depasture: (TA:) or the best of pasturage, except such as is termed عُشْب; including the sorts termed نَصِىّ and صِلِّيَان and عَنْكَث and هَلْتَى and سَحَم and ثَغَام. (O, TA.) b2: [As a subst. from طَرِيفٌ, rendered such by the affix ة, it signifies Anything new, recent, or fresh: and anything choice: pl. طَرَائِفُ. (See also طُرْفَةٌ.) Hence, طَرَائِفُ البَيْتِ The choice articles, such as vessels &c., of the house: see رَفٌّ. And hence also,] طَرَائِفُ الحَدِيثِ: see طَرَفٌ, last sentence but one.

طَارِفَةٌ [a subst. from طَارِفٌ, rendered such by the affix ة]: pl. طَوَارِفٌ: see طَرْفٌ, in two places. b2: [Also, app., A thing that causes a twinkling, or winking, of the eye. Whence, app.,] one says, جَآءَ بِطَارِفَةِ عَيْنٍ, meaning (tropical:) He (a man, S, O) brought much property, or many cattle. (S, O, K, TA.) b3: The phrase مَا أَبْرَزَتْهُ طَوَارِفُ القَرَائِحِ, in which طَوَارِفُ is pl. of طَارِفَةٌ, from طَارِفٌ signifying property “ newly acquired,” means مَا

أَحْدَثَتْهُ القَرَائِحُ المُتَأَخِّرَةُ [i. e. What the modern excogitative faculties have originated]. (Har p.

63.) A2: طَوَارِفُ الخِبَآءِ means The portions of the sides of the tent that are raised for the purpose of one's looking out: (S, O, K:) or, as some say, rings attached to the skirts (رُفُوف) of the tent, having ropes by which they are tied to the tentpegs.

مُطْرِفٌ [act. part. n. of 4, q. v.]. b2: أَنْشِدِ البَيْتَيْنِ المُطْرِفَيْنِ, a phrase used by El-Hareeree, means Recite thou the two verses that adduce what is strange, or extraordinary, and approved, or deemed good: or, as some relate it, ↓ المُطْرَفَيْنِ, expl. by Mtr as meaning that are ornamented at their two extremities; like the رِدَآء called مُطْرَف: or ↓ المُطَرَّفَيْنِ, meaning, if correctly related, that are beautified, and excite admiration, in the first and last foot; as being likened to the horse termed مُطَرَّفٌ, that is white in the head and the tail: and المطرّفين [i. e. المُطَرَّفَيْنِ] may mean المستطرفين [i. e. المُسْتَطْرَفَيْنِ]. (Har p. 615: in the next p. of which, an ex. is given.) b3: See also طَرِيفٌ.

مِطْرَفٌ (S, O, L, Msb, TA) and ↓ مُطْرَفٌ, (S, O, L, Msb, K, TA,) the latter, only, mentioned in the K, (TA,) and this is the original form, because it is from أَطْرِفَ, but the dammeh was deemed difficult of pronunciation, and therefore kesreh was substituted for it, (Fr, S, O, TA,) like as is the case in مِصْحَفٌ [q. v.], (Fr, TA,) and IAth mentions also ↓ مَطْرَفٌ, (TA,) A garment, (Msb,) or [such as is termed] رِدَآء, (S, O, K,) of [the kind of cloth called] خَزّ, (S, O, Msb, K,) square, or four-sided, (S, O, K,) having ornamental or coloured or figured, borders (أَعْلَام): (S, O, Msb, K:) or a garment having, in its two ends, or sides, (فِى طَرَفَيْهِ,) two such borders (عَلَمَانِ): (Fr, TA:) or a square, or four-sided, garment of خَزّ: (Msb:) pl. مَطَارِفُ.

[And] An eye, hit, struck, smitten, or hurt, with a thing, so that it sheds tears. (S, O, K.) And ↓ طَرِيفٌ applied to an eye signifies the same as مَطْرُوفَةٌ [in one of these senses, but in which of them is not said]. (TA.) b3: مَطْرُوفَةٌ applied to a woman means As though her eye were hit, struck, smitten, or hurt, with something, (O, and EM p. 83,) so that it shed tears, (O,) by reason of the languish of her look; (EM ibid;) and this is said to be its meaning in the saying of Tarafeh, إِذَا نَحْنُ قُلْنَا أَسْمِعِينَا انْبَرَتْ لَنَا عَلَى رِسْلِهَا مَطْرُوفَةً لَمْ تَشَدَّد (O, EM,) i. e. When we say, “Sing thou to us,”

she betakes herself to us in her gentle way, as though her eye were hurt by something, by reason of the languish of her look, not straining herself in her singing; but as some relate the verse, the word is مَطْرُوقَةً, meaning “ weakly: ” (EM:) or it means whose eye the love of men has smitten, so that she raises her eyes and looks at every one that looks at her; as though a طَرْفَة [or red spot of blood], or a stick or the like, hurt her eye: (Az, TA:) or having a languishing eye; as though it were turned away, or back, (طُرِفَتٌ,) from everything at which it looked: (IAar, TA:) or as though her eye were turned away, or back so that it, or she, is still: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) who looks at the men (تَطْرِفُ الرِّجَالَ); i. e. (assumed tropical:) who does not keep constantly to one; the pass. part. n. being put in the place of the act.; but Az says that this explanation is at variance with the original purport of the word: (TA:) or مَطْرُوفَةٌ بِالرِّجَال means (tropical:) a woman who raises, or stretches and raises, her eye at men, (S, O, K, TA,) and turns away her look from her husband, to others, (S, TA, *) and in whom is no good: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) who looks not at any but the men; (K;) or مَطْرُوفَةُ العَيْنِ بِالرِّجَالِ has this meaning. (AA, TA.) A2: أَرْضٌ مَطْرُوفَةٌ Land abounding with the herbage called طَرِيفَة. (S, O, K.) مُطَّرَفٌ A camel newly purchased: (S:) or purchased from another part of the country, and therefore yearning for his accustomed place. (IB, TA.) مُتَطَرِّفٌ A man who does not, or will not, keep constantly to an affair; [but I think that امر (which I have rendered “ an affair ”) in my original is evidently a mistranscription for امْرَأَة, i. e. a woman, or wife;] as also ↓ مُسْتَطْرِفٌ. (TA.) See also طَرِفٌ.

كفر
الكُفْرُ في اللّغة: ستر الشيء، ووصف الليل بِالْكَافِرِ لستره الأشخاص، والزّرّاع لستره البذر في الأرض، وليس ذلك باسم لهما كما قال بعض أهل اللّغة لمّا سمع:
ألقت ذكاء يمينها في كافر
والْكَافُورُ: اسم أكمام الثّمرة التي تَكْفُرُهَا، قال الشاعر:
كالكرم إذ نادى من الكَافُورِ
وكُفْرُ النّعمة وكُفْرَانُهَا: سترها بترك أداء شكرها، قال تعالى: فَلا كُفْرانَ لِسَعْيِهِ [الأنبياء/ 94] . وأعظم الكُفْرِ: جحود الوحدانيّة أو الشريعة أو النّبوّة، والكُفْرَانُ في جحود النّعمة أكثر استعمالا، والكُفْرُ في الدّين أكثر، والكُفُورُ فيهما جميعا قال: فَأَبَى الظَّالِمُونَ إِلَّا كُفُوراً
[الإسراء/ 99] ، فَأَبى أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُوراً [الفرقان/ 50] ويقال منهما: كَفَرَ فهو كَافِرٌ. قال في الكفران: لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَإِنَّما يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبِّي غَنِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ [النمل/ 40] ، وقال: وَاشْكُرُوا لِي وَلا تَكْفُرُونِ
[البقرة/ 152] ، وقوله:
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْكافِرِينَ
[الشعراء/ 19] أي: تحرّيت كفران نعمتي، وقال: لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذابِي لَشَدِيدٌ
[إبراهيم/ 7] ولمّا كان الكفران يقتضي جحود النّعمة صار يستعمل في الجحود، قال: وَلا تَكُونُوا أَوَّلَ كافِرٍ بِهِ
[البقرة/ 41] أي: جاحد له وساتر، والكَافِرُ على الإطلاق متعارف فيمن يجحد الوحدانيّة، أو النّبوّة، أو الشريعة، أو ثلاثتها، وقد يقال: كَفَرَ لمن أخلّ بالشّريعة، وترك ما لزمه من شكر الله عليه. قال: مَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ
[الروم/ 44] يدلّ على ذلك مقابلته بقوله: وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صالِحاً فَلِأَنْفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ [الروم/ 44] ، وقال: وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْكافِرُونَ [النحل/ 83] ، وقوله: وَلا تَكُونُوا أَوَّلَ كافِرٍ بِهِ [البقرة/ 41] أي: لا تكونوا أئمّة في الكفر فيقتدى بكم، وقوله: وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْفاسِقُونَ [النور/ 55] عني بالكافر السّاتر للحقّ، فلذلك جعله فاسقا، ومعلوم أنّ الكفر المطلق هو أعمّ من الفسق، ومعناه: من جحد حقّ الله فقد فسق عن أمر ربّه بظلمه. ولمّا جعل كلّ فعل محمود من الإيمان جعل كلّ فعل مذموم من الكفر، وقال في السّحر: وَما كَفَرَ سُلَيْمانُ وَلكِنَّ الشَّياطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ [البقرة/ 102] وقوله: الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبا، إلى قوله: كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ
[البقرة/ 275- 276] وقال: وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ إلى قوله: وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِ الْعالَمِينَ [آل عمران/ 97] والكَفُورُ: المبالغ في كفران النعمة، وقوله:
إِنَّ الْإِنْسانَ لَكَفُورٌ
[الزخرف/ 15] ، وقال:
ذلِكَ جَزَيْناهُمْ بِما كَفَرُوا وَهَلْ نُجازِي إِلَّا الْكَفُورَ
[سبأ/ 17] إن قيل: كيف وصف الإنسان هاهنا بالكفور، ولم يرض بذلك حتى أدخل عليه إنّ، واللّام، وكلّ ذلك تأكيد، وقال في موضع وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ [الحجرات/ 7] ، فقوله: إِنَّ الْإِنْسانَ لَكَفُورٌ مُبِينٌ [الزخرف/ 15] تنبيه على ما ينطوي عليه الإنسان من كفران النّعمة، وقلّة ما يقوم بأداء الشّكر، وعلى هذا قوله: قُتِلَ الْإِنْسانُ ما أَكْفَرَهُ
[عبس/ 17] ولذلك قال: وَقَلِيلٌ مِنْ عِبادِيَ الشَّكُورُ [سبأ/ 13] ، وقوله: إِنَّا هَدَيْناهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شاكِراً وَإِمَّا كَفُوراً [الإنسان/ 3] تنبيه أنه عرّفه الطّريقين كما قال: وَهَدَيْناهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ [البلد/ 10] فمن سالك سبيل الشّكر، ومن سالك سبيل الكفر، وقوله: وَكانَ الشَّيْطانُ لِرَبِّهِ كَفُوراً [الإسراء/ 27] فمن الكفر، ونبّه بقوله: كانَ أنه لم يزل منذ وجد منطويا على الكفر. والْكَفَّارُ أبلغ من الكفور لقوله: كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ
[ق/ 24] وقال:
وَاللَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ [البقرة/ 276] ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ كاذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ [الزمر/ 3] ، إِلَّا فاجِراً كَفَّاراً [نوح/ 27] وقد أجري الكفّار مجرى الكفور في قوله: إِنَّ الْإِنْسانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ [إبراهيم/ 34] . والكُفَّارُ في جمع الكافر المضادّ للإيمان أكثر استعمالا كقوله: أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ
[الفتح/ 29] ، وقوله: لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ [الفتح/ 29] .
والكَفَرَةُ في جمع كافر النّعمة أشدّ استعمالا، وفي قوله: أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ [عبس/ 42] ألا ترى أنه وصف الكفرة بالفجرة؟
والفجرة قد يقال للفسّاق من المسلمين. وقوله:
جَزاءً لِمَنْ كانَ كُفِرَ [القمر/ 14] أي: من الأنبياء ومن يجري مجراهم ممّن بذلوا النّصح في أمر الله فلم يقبل منهم. وقوله: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا ثُمَّ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا
[النساء/ 137] قيل: عني بقوله إنهم آمنوا بموسى، ثمّ كفروا بمن بعده. والنصارى آمنوا بعيسى، ثمّ كفروا بمن بعده. وقيل: آمنوا بموسى ثم كفروا بموسى إذ لم يؤمنوا بغيره، وقيل: هو ما قال: وَقالَتْ طائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ آمِنُوا بِالَّذِي إلى قوله:
وَاكْفُرُوا آخِرَهُ
[آل عمران/ 72] ولم يرد أنّهم آمنوا مرّتين وكفروا مرّتين، بل ذلك إشارة إلى أحوال كثيرة. وقيل: كما يصعد الإنسان في الفضائل في ثلاث درجات ينعكس في الرّذائل في ثلاث درجات. والآية إشارة إلى ذلك، وقد بيّنته في كتاب «الذّريعة إلى مكارم الشّريعة» .
ويقال: كَفَرَ فلانٌ: إذا اعتقد الكفر، ويقال ذلك إذا أظهر الكفر وإن لم يعتقد، ولذلك قال:
مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمانِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِيمانِ [النحل/ 106] ويقال: كَفَرَ فلان بالشّيطان: إذا كفر بسببه، وقد يقال ذلك إذا آمن وخالف الشّيطان، كقوله: فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ
[البقرة/ 256] وأَكْفَرَهُ إِكْفَاراً: حكم بكفره، وقد يعبّر عن التّبرّي بالكفر نحو: ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ يَكْفُرُ بَعْضُكُمْ بِبَعْضٍ
الآية [العنكبوت/ 25] ، وقوله تعالى: إِنِّي كَفَرْتُ بِما أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ مِنْ قَبْلُ [إبراهيم/ 22] ، وقوله: كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَباتُهُ [الحديد/ 20] قيل: عنى بالكفّار الزّرّاع ، لأنّهم يغطّون البذر في التّراب ستر الكفّار حقّ الله تعالى بدلالة قوله: يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ [الفتح/ 29] ولأنّ الكافر لا اختصاص له بذلك. وقيل: بل عنى الكفار، وخصّهم بكونهم معجبين بالدّنيا وزخارفها وراكنين إليها.
والْكَفَّارَةُ: ما يغطّي الإثم، ومنه: كَفَّارَةُ اليمين نحو قوله: ذلِكَ كَفَّارَةُ أَيْمانِكُمْ إِذا حَلَفْتُمْ [المائدة/ 89] وكذلك كفّارة غيره من الآثام ككفارة القتل والظّهار. قال: فَكَفَّارَتُهُ إِطْعامُ عَشَرَةِ مَساكِينَ [المائدة/ 89] والتَّكْفِيرُ: ستره وتغطيته حتى يصير بمنزلة ما لم يعمل، ويصحّ أن يكون أصله إزالة الكفر والكفران، نحو:
التّمريض في كونه إزالة للمرض، وتقذية العين في إزالة القذى عنه، قال: وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتابِ آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَكَفَّرْنا عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ
[المائدة/ 65] ، نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئاتِكُمْ
[النساء/ 31] وإلى هذا المعنى أشار بقوله: إِنَّ الْحَسَناتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئاتِ [هود/ 114] وقيل: صغار الحسنات لا تكفّر كبار السّيّئات، وقال:
لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ [آل عمران/ 195] ، لِيُكَفِّرَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَسْوَأَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا [الزمر/ 35] ويقال: كَفَرَتِ الشمس النّجومَ: سترتها، ويقال الْكَافِرُ للسّحاب الذي يغطّي الشمس والليل، قال الشاعر:
ألقت ذكاء يمينها في كافر
وتَكَفَّرَ في السّلاح. أي: تغطّى فيه، والْكَافُورُ: أكمام الثمرة. أي: التي تكفُرُ الثّمرةَ، قال الشاعر:
كالكرم إذ نادى من الكافور
والْكَافُورُ الذي هو من الطّيب. قال تعالى:
كانَ مِزاجُها كافُوراً
[الإنسان/ 5] .
