And هُوَ يُجَبَّنُ, inf. n. as above, He is accused of cowardice.

(K.) 5 تجبّن It (milk) became like جُبْن [i. e. cheese]. (K.) b2: And hence, perhaps, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) He (a man) became thick, gross, coarse, or big. (S, TA.) 8 اجتبنهُ He made cheese of it; i. e. of milk. (T, K.) A2: See also 4.

جُبْنٌ and ↓ جُبُنٌ and ↓ جُبُنٌّ, (S, Msb, K,) the first of which is the most approved, and the last the most rare, and said by some to be used only in a case of necessity in poetry, (Lth, Msb,) [Cheese;] a certain thing that is eaten, (S, Msb,) well known: (K:) n. un. جُبْنَةٌ, (TA,) a word having a more particular signification than جُبْنٌ, (S,) meaning a قُرص [or round, flattened, loaf] thereof, (Mgh,) [or a cheese, or piece of cheese,] as also جُبُنَةٌ (TA) and جُبُنَّةٌ.

(K.) جَبَانٌ, (S, Msb, K,) an epithet from جَبَنَ, (S,) applied to a man and to a woman, (S, Msb, K,) in the latter case like حَصَانٌ and رَزَانٌ, (Ibn-EsSarráj, S,) and with ة also applied to a woman; (M, Msb, K;) and ↓ جَبينٌ, (S, K,) from جَبُنَ, (S,) applied to a man and to a woman; and ↓ جَبَّانٌ; (K;) A coward; or cowardly; i. e. wont to dread things, so as not to venture upon them boldly, (K, TA,) by night or by day; (TA;) weak-hearted: (Msb:) جَبَانٌ is contr. of شُجَاعٌ: (Msb in art. شجع:) pl. masc. جُبَنَآءُ, (Msb, K,) [properly of جَبِينٌ] and fem. جَبَانَاتٌ.

A2: Also The part above the temple, on the right of the forehead, and on the left thereof; the two being called جَبِينَانِ: (S:) the side of the forehead, [so Bd in xxxvii. 103,] from the part over against the place where the hair falls off, to the temple, on the right of the forehead, and on the left thereof: so say Az and IF and others: the forehead (الجَبْتَة) is between the جَبِينَانِ: (Msb:) or the جَبِينَانِ are the two borders of the forehead, on either side thereof, in the part between the two eyebrows (فِيمَا بَيْنَ الحَاجِبَيْنِ [so in the copies of the K, a mistake for فيما يَلِى الحاجبين in the part next to the two eyebrows]), rising to the place where the growth of the hair terminates: (K:) or between the place where the growth of the hair terminates and the eyebrows: (TA:) or the جبين is the borders (in the T, the border, TA) of the forehead, between the two temples, uniting with the نَاصِيَة [or place where the hair grows in the fore part of the head, or the hair of that part]: (K, TA:) and it sometimes occurs as meaning the forehead: (MF, TA:) [see an ex. voce تَرِبَ, where it is used in this last sense, and is fem., perhaps because syn. with جَبْهَة, for] Lh says that it is always masc.: (TA:) pl.

(Mgh, Msb.) b2: A burial-ground: (K:) this is sometimes called جبّانة because the place of prayer is generally in the burial-ground: (Msb:) accord. to Kh, these two words, in this sense, are from الجَبُّ and الجَبُوبُ; but others derive them from جبن. (TA in art. جب.) b3: A [desert tract such as is termed] صَحْرَآء. (S, K.) b4: A place that produces much herbage: and level, elevated land: (AHn, K:) or the latter, level, elevated land, that produces much herbage: (Aboo-Kheyreh, TA:) accord. to ISh, it is smooth, without trees; but it may have in it hills, and a tract abounding with trees: and sometimes the جبّانة is level, without hills and without any tract abounding with trees; but it is not in sand nor in mountains, though it may be in [high grounds such as are termed] قِفَاف [pl. of قُفٌّ] and in [what are termed] شَقَائِق [pl. of شَقِيقَةٌ]. (TA.) جَبّانِىٌّ A dweller in the جَبَّان, meaning صَحْرَآء. (TA.) أَجْبَنُ [More, and most, cowardly, or weakhearted]. (TA.) You say أَجْبَنُ مِنْ صَافِرٍ, i. e.

1 سَكَنَ, (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (L,) inf. n. سُكُونٌ, (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) said of a thing, (S, L,) of a thing that moves, (Mgh, Msb,) It was, or became, still, motionless, stationary, in a state of rest, quiet, calm, or unruffled, (هَدَأَ, Abu-l-'Abbás, L, or قَرَّ, K,) after motion; (Abu-l-'Abbás, L;) its motion [ceased, or] went away; (L, Msb;) and in like manner said of a man, and of a beast: (Abu-l-'Abbás, L:) and said of anything such as wind and heat and cold and the like; of rain; [and of pain;] and of anger; [&c.;] it was, or became, still, calm, tranquillized, appeased, allayed, assuaged, or quelled; [it died away, passed away, or ceased to be: and it remitted, or subsided; became alleviated, light, slight, or gentle:] and said of a man [or beast or the like, and of a voice or sound], he [or it] was, or became, still, or silent. (L.) [Hence,] one says, سَكَنَ الدَّمْعُ, and الدَّمُ, meaning رَقَأَ [The tears, and the blood, stopped, or ceased to flow]. (S and Mgh in art. رقاٌ.) [And one says of heat, and cold, and pain, &c., سَكَنَ عَنْهُ It passed away from him; quitted him. And سَكَنَتِ النَّارُ The fire became extinguished; or became allayed or assuaged; subsided; or ceased to flame or blaze or burn fiercely,] b2: [Hence also, It (a letter) was or became, quiescent; i. e., without a vowel immediately following it; contr. of تَحَرَّكَ.] b3: And سَكَنَ إِلَيْهِ, (Msb, [where the aor. is said to be سَكِنَ, but this is either a mistake or rare, for the aor. accord. to common usage is سَكُنَ, as in the Kur vii.] 189 and xxx. 20,]) inf. n. سُكُونٌ (Mgh, Msb) and سَكَنٌ, (Msb,) He trusted to it, or relied upon it, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; i. q. رَكَنَ إِلَيْهِ; (S and K &c. in art. ركن;) and اِطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهِ; (TA in art. طمن;) [and اِعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِ; and وَثِقَ بِهِ; &c.; and he inclined to it; syn. مَالَ إِلَيْهِ; and became familiar with it; syn. اِسُتَأْنَسَ بِهِ, and أَلِفَ; agreeably with explanations here following;] namely, a thing: (Msb:) and سَكَنَ إِلَيْهَا, aor. ـُ he trusted to her, or relied upon her, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; &c., as above; syn. اِطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهَا; (Ksh and Bd in vii. 189, and Ksh in xxx. 20;) and مَالَ إِلَيْهَا; (Ksh in vii. 189, and the same and Bd in xxx. 20;) and اِسْتَأْنَسَ بِهَا, and أَلِفَ; (Bd in the same two places;) namely, his wife. (Ksh and Bd.) b4: And سَكَنَ الَّدارَ, (S, MA, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) and فِى الدَّارِ, (Mgh, Msb,) and بِالمَكَانِ, (L,) aor. ـُ (L, Msb, JM,) inf. n. سُكْنَى (MA, Mgh, L, JM) and سُكُونٌ (MA, L) and سُكْنٌ, (MA,) or ↓ سُكْنَى is a simple subst., and the inf. n. is سكن, (Msb, [accord. to which the latter is app. سَكَنٌ, for it is there said that the verb in this case is like طَلَبَ, the unaugmented inf. n. of which is طَلَبٌ, but this inf. n. سَكَنُ I have not found elsewhere, and what is generally used as the inf. n. or quasi-inf. n. of the verb in this case is ↓ سُكْنَى,]) or ↓ سُكْنَى is a subst. in the sense of إِسْكَانٌ, as expl. below, (Mgh,) [or rather it is also a subst. in this sense,] He inhabited, or dwelt or abode in, the house [and the place]. (MA, Mgh.) وَلَهُ مَا سَكَنَ فِى اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ, in the Kur [vi. 13], is from السُّكْنَى (Ksh, Bd) or from السُّكُونُ: (Bd:) if from the former, (Ksh, Bd,) it signifies To Him belongeth what taketh up its abode in the night and the day; (IAar, Ksh, * Bd, * L, Jel;) meaning, what the night and the day include within their limits: (Ksh, * Bd:) or, if from السُّكُونُ, (Bd,) what is still, or motionless, (Abu-l-'Abbás, Bd, L,) and what moves; one of the two contraries being mentioned as sufficient [to show what is intended] without the other; (Bd;) app. meaning the creation, collectively, or all created beings. (Abu-l-'Abbás, L.) b5: And سَكَنَ, (L, K,) aor. ـُ (K,) He became such as is termed مِسْكِين [q. v.]; (L, K;) as also سَكُنَ, (K,) and ↓ اسكن, and ↓ تسكّن, and ↓ تَمَسْكَنَ: (L, K:) and [thus it means particularly] he was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive; and low, abject, abased, and weak; as also ↓ اسكن, (L,) and ↓ تسكّن, and ↓ تَمَسْكَنَ; (S, * L;) the former of these being the regular form, (S, L,) and the more common and more chaste; (L;) the latter of them anomalous, [from المِسْكِينُ,] like تَمَنْدَلَ from المِنْدِيلُ, and تَمَدْرَعَ from المِدْرَعَةُ; (S, L;) and ↓ استكن, (L, Msb,) and ↓ اِسْتَكَانَ, of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ (L, Msb, K) from المَسْكَنَةُ (L, K) or from السُّكُونُ, (Msb,) with ا added, (L, Msb,) the vowel of the medial radical letter being thus rendered full in sound, (L, Msb, K,) or it is of the measure اِسْتَفْعَلَ from الكِينَةُ, signifying “ evil state or condition,” (Msb,) or from الكَيْنُ signifying “ the [piece of] flesh in the interior of the vulva,” because he who is lowly and abject is the most obscure of mankind. (L. [See also arts.

كون and كين.]) 2 سكّنهُ, (S, L, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَسْكِينٌ, (S, L, K,) He, or it, caused it to be, or become, still, motionless, stationary, in a state of rest, quiet, calm, or unruffled; (S, * L, Msb, K;) namely, a thing: (S, L, Msb:) [and caused it, namely, anything such as wind, and heat, and cold, and the like, as rain, and pain, and anger, to be, or become, still, or calm; stilled, calmed, tranquillized, appeased, allayed, assuaged, or quelled, it; caused it to die away, pass away, or cease to be: and caused it to remit, or subside; to become alleviated, light, slight, or gentle: and caused him, and it, namely, a man or beast or the like, and a voice or sound, to become still, or silent: (see 1, first sentence:)] and ↓ اسكنهُ signifies the same. (L.) [Hence,] one says of God, سكّن دَمْعَهُ, meaning أَرْقَأَهُ [He caused his tears to stop, or cease flowing]. (S and TA in art. رقأ.) b2: [and hence, He made it (a letter) quiescent; i. e., made it to be without a vowel immediately following it; contr. of حَرَّكَهُ.]

A2: تَسْكِينٌ also signifies The straightening a cane, or spear, (صَعْدَة,) with fire [which is termed السَّكَن]. (IAar, L, K.) A3: and The constantly riding a light and swift ass which is termed سُكَيْن. (IAar, L, K.) 3 ساكنهُ, inf. n. مُسَاكَنَةٌ, i. q. جَاوَرَهُ [meaning He lived in his neighbourhood, or near to him]. (TA in art. جور.) 4 اسكن: see 1, near the end, in two places.

A2: اسكنهُ: see 2, first sentence. b2: [Hence,] said of poverty, It made him to be little, or seldom, in motion. (Aboo-Is-hák, L, K.) b3: And, said of God, He made him to be such as is termed مِسْكِين [q. v.]. (L, K.) b4: And اسكنهُ الدَّارَ, (S, L, Msb, K,) or المَنْزِلَ, (MA,) He made him [or gave him] to inhabit the house, or abode; (S, * MA, L, * Msb, * K; *) he lodged him therein. (MA.) 5 تسكّن, said of a man, is from السَّكِينَةُ [i. e. He had, or possessed, or affected, the quality thus termed; meaning he was, or became, or affected to be, calm, tranquil, grave, staid, steady, or sedate; &c.]. (L.) See also Q. Q. 2, below: and see 1, above, near the end, in two places.8 استكن, and its var. or syn. اِسْتَكَانَ: see 1, near the end. Q. Q. 2 تَمَسْكَنَ He affected to be like, or he imitated, such as are termed مَسَاكِين [pl. of مِسْكِينٌ, q. v.]. (IAth, L.) b2: See also 1, near the end, in two places. You say, تَمَسْكَنَ لِرَبِهِ He humbled, or abased, himself to his Lord; or addressed himself with earnest, or energetic, supplication to Him: and ↓ تسكّن is like تَمَسْكَنَ. (Lh, L.) سَكْنٌ, a quasi-pl. n. of ↓ سَاكِنٌ, like as شَرْبٌ is of شَارِبٌ, called by Akh a pl., (L,) The inhabitants, people, or family, of a house or tent; (S, L, K;) a household. (L.) b2: And The collective body of the people of a tribe: one says, تَحَمَّلَ السَّكْنُ فَذَهَبُوا [The collective body of the people of the tribe bound the loads, or burdens, upon their beasts, and went away]. (Lh, L.) b3: See also سَكَنٌ. b4: And see the paragraph here next following.

سُكْنٌ: see سُكْنَى. b2: And see also مَسْكَنٌ, in three places. b3: Also, (L, JM, [thus written in both, and expressly said in the latter to be “ with damm,”]) or ↓ سَكَنٌ, (thus in copies of the K,) or ↓ سَكْنٌ, (thus in the CK,) [but the first is app. the right,] Food, aliment, or victuals, syn. قُوتٌ; (L, K, JM;) like نُزْلٌ meaning “ food (طَعَام, L, JM) of a party alighting to partake of it,” and said to be called سُكْنٌ because by means of it a place is inhabited, like as the نُزْل of an army means the “ appointed rations of an army alighting at a place. ” (L.) سَكَنٌ A thing, (S, L, Msb, K,) of any kind, (S, L,) to which one trusts, or upon which one relies, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; (S, L, Msb, K;) and in like manner, a person, or persons, to whom one trusts, &c.: applied in this sense to a family, or wife, (L, Msb,) as well as to property, (Msb,) &c.: (L, Msb:) and hence [particularly] signifying a wife. (L.) One says, [app. using it in this sense, as seems to be indicated by the context in the S,] فُلَانٌ أْبْنُ السَّكَنِ [Such a one is the son of the سَكَن]; and As used to say ↓ السَّكْنِ: (S, L:) accord. to Ibn-Habeeb, one says سَكَن and سَكْن. (L.) And it is said in the Kur [vi. 96], جَعَلَ

أْللَّيْلَ سَكَنًا He hath made, or appointed, the night to be a resource for ease, or quiet. (L.) And in the same [ix. 104], إِنَّ صَلَوَاتِكَ سَكَنٌ لَهُمْ, i. e. [Verily thy prayers for forgiveness are] a cause of ease, or quiet, to them. (Zj, L.) [And ↓ سُكْنَةٌ seems to have a similar meaning: for] ISh says, تَغْطِيَةُ الوَجْهِ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ سُكْنَةٌ, app. [The covering of the face on the occasion of sleep is a cause of ease, or quiet,] in the case of loneliness, or of fear arising therefrom. (L.) And it is said in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا فِى أَرْضِنا سَكَنَهَا, meaning O God, send down upon us, in our land, the succour, or relief, of its inhabitants, [app. alluding to rain,] to which they may trust so as to be easy, or quiet, in mind.

See the latter word, in three places. b3: And Fire; [app. first applied thereto as being a cause of ease, or comfort;] (S, L, K;) as in the saying [of a rájiz], وَسَكَنٍ تُوقَدُ فِىمِظَلَّهْ [And a fire kindled in a large tent of hair-cloth, or in a booth, or shed], (S, L,) describing himself as driven to have recourse thereto by the night, and by a moist wind, or a wind cold with moisture; and [afterwards used without any allusion to its being a cause of ease, or comfort,] as in the saying of another, describing a cane, أَقَامَهَا بِسَكَنٍ وَأَدْهَانْ meaning He straightened it with fire and oils. (L.) b4: And Mercy, pity, or compassion. (K, [See also سَكِينَةٌ.]) b5: And i. q. بَرَكَةٌ [A blessing; prosperity, or good fortune; increase; &c.]. (K.) A2: See also سُكْنٌ:

A3: and سُكْنَى:

A4: and see سَآكِنٌ.

سَكْنَةٌ A quiescence of a letter; its having no vowel immediately following; opposed to حَرَكَةٌ: pl. سَكَنَاتٌ.] b2: تَرَكْتُهُمْ عَلَى سَكَنَاتِهِمْ: see سَكِنَةٌ.

سُكْنَةٌ: see سَكَنٌ.

سَكِنَةٌ A place; [properly] a place of habitation or abode: pl. سَكِنَاتٌ. (L.) It is said in a trad., اِسْتَقِرُّوا عَلَى سَكِنَاتِكُمْ فَقَدِ انْقَطَعَتِ الهِجْرَةُ, (S, L, K, *) i. e. Rest ye, or remain ye, at your places, (S, L,) or in your places of habitation or abode, (S, L, K,) for emigration has [ended, having] become no longer needful. (L.) And one says, النَّاسُ عَلَى سَكِنَاتِهِمْ, [virtually] meaning, accord. to Fr, The people are in their right state: (S, L:) and in like manner is expl. the saying, تَرَكْتُهُمْ عَلَى سَكِنَاتِهِمْ and ↓ سَكَنَاتِهِمْ and نَزَلَاتِهِمْ; but the approved explanation is, [I left them] at their places of habitation, which is that of Th; or, as in the M, their places of alighting, or abode. (L.) b2: Also The part, of the neck, which is the resting-place of the head. (S, L, K.) So in the saying, (S, L,) attributed to several poets, (L,) بِضَرْبِ يُزِيلُ الهَامَ عَنْ سَكِنَاتِهِ [With a smiting that removes the heads from their resting-places on the necks]. (S, L.) سُكْنَى is an inf. n. of سَكَنَ in the phrase سَكَنَ الدَّارَ: (MA, Mgh, L, JM:) or a simple subst. therefrom: (Msb:) or a subst. in the sense of إِسْكَانٌ, like رُقْبَى in the sense of إِرْقَابٌ: (Mgh:) see 1, in three places: or it is a subst. (S, L, K) also (L) from أَسْكَنَهُ الدَّارَ, (S, L, K,) like as عُتْبَى is from إِعْتَابٌ, (S, L,) and so is ↓ سَكَنٌ, (Lh, L, K,) [which is app. mentioned in the Msb as an inf. n. of the former verb,] signifying, as also ↓ سُكْنٌ, [so in one place, as on the authority of Lth, in the L, and said in the MA to be, like سُكْنَى, an inf. n. of the verb first mentioned above,] The making [or giving] a man a place, or an abode, to inhabit, without rent; (L, and Ham p. 400 in explanation of the first of these words;) the term سُكْنَى being similar to عُمْرَى. (L.) b2: See also مَسْكَنٌ, in five places.

سُكَيْنٌ An ass light, or active, and quick, or swift: and سُكَيْنَةٌ is applied to a she-ass (L, K) in the same sense. (L.) b2: Hence the latter is used as a name for (assumed tropical:) A girl, or young woman, or a female slave, that is of a light, or an active, spirit. (L.) b3: The former also signifies A wild ass. (L.) b4: And السُّكَيْنَةُ is the name of The gnat that entered into the nose of Numrood [or Nimrod]. (L, K.) سَكِينَةٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and ↓ سِكِّينَةٌ (Ks, L, K) and ↓ سَكِّينَةٌ, (L, Msb,) mentioned in the “ Nawádir,” (Msb,) on the authority of Az, (L,) but of a measure of which there is no [other] known instance, (L, Msb,) Calmness, or tranquillity; (S, L, Msb, K;) gravity, staidness, steadiness, or sedateness; (S, L, Msb;) and a quality inspiring reverence or veneration: (Msb:) and, as some say, mercy, pity, or compassion: [see also سَكَنٌ:] and aid or assistance; or victory or conquest: and a thing whereby a man is calmed, or tranquillized: (L:) pl. of the first word سَكَائِنُ. (Har p. 62.) One says of a man who is calm or tranquil, or grave &c., عَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ [Upon him is resting, or abiding, calmness &c.]. (L.) And it is said in a trad., respecting the Prophet, on the occasion of the coming down of revelation, فَغَشِيَتْهُ السَّكِينَةُ, meaning And calmness, or tranquillity, and غَيْبَة [i. e., as here used, absence of mind from self and others by its being exclusively occupied by the contemplation of divine things], came upon him. (L.) And in the Kur [ii. 249], it is said, [with reference to the coming of the ark of the covenant,] فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ, meaning [In which shall be] a cause of your becoming tranquil, [or easy in your minds,] when it cometh to you [from your Lord]: (Zj, L, K:) or, as some say, there was in it a head like that of the cat; when it uttered a cry, victory betided the Children of Israel: (L:) or a thing having a head like that of the cat [and a tail like that of the cat (Bd)], of chrysolite and sapphire, and a pair of wings: (L, K:) or an image like the cat, that was with them among their forces, on the appearance of which their enemies were routed: or an animal having a face like that of a human being, compact [in substance], the rest thereof being unsubstantial like the wind and the air: or the images of the Prophets, from Adam to Mohammad: (Bd:) or the signs, or miracles, with the performance of which Moses was endowed, and to which they trusted so as to be easy, or quiet, in their minds: (L:) or by the تَابُوت to which these words refer is meant the heart, [or rather the chest, i. e. bosom,] and the سكينة is the knowledge, and purity, or sincerity, in the heart [or bosom].

مَسْكَنٌ and مَسْكِنٌ; (S, L, Msb, K;) the people of El-Hijáz say the former, (S, L,) and the latter is anomalous; (L;) [A place of habitation;] a place of alighting, abiding, sojourning, or lodging; an abode, or a dwelling; (S, L, K;) a house, or a tent; (S, L, Msb;) pl. مَسَاكِنُ: (Msb:) and ↓ سَكَنُ signifies the same as مَسْكِنٌ, [thus in the Kur xvi. 82,] (Lh, L, and Ham p. 400,) as also ↓ سُكْنَى, (Lh, L,) and ↓ سُكْنٌ: you say, دَارٌ فِيهَا

↓ سَكَنٌ and ↓ سُكْنٌ, i. e. ↓ سُكْنَى [or مَسْكَنٌ, meaning A house in which is a place of habitation, or a lodging]: (L: [↓ سَكَنٌ and ↓ سُكْنٌ are there mentioned as syn., each of them, with مَسْكَنٌ and سُكْنَى, but in different places; and I incline to think that سُكْنٌ thus mentioned may be a mistranscription for سَكَنٌ: I have not found it elsewhere in this sense:]) and ↓ دَارِى لَكَ سُكْنَى, in which the last word is [said to be] virtually in the accus. case, as a denotative of state, meaning [My house is for thee,] as made [or given] to be inhabited, or as being inhabited: (Mgh:) or ↓ لَكَ دَارِى هٰذِهِ سُكْنَى, meaning To thee this my house is a lent dwelling-place: and المَرْأَةِ ↓ سُكْنَى means The wife's dwelling-place in which the husband lodges her.

(L, K.) مَسْكَنَةٌ (L, Msb, K) The state of him who is termed مِسْكِينٌ: primarily, lowliness, humility, or submissiveness: and meaning also lowness, abjectness, ignominiousness, abasement, or humiliation; and paucity of property; and an evil state or condition; also poverty of mind; and weakness; (IAth, L:) it is from السُّكُونُ [an inf. n. of سَكَنَ meaning as expl. in the first sentence of this art.]. (L.) مُسْكَانٌ, meaning “ an earnest,” or “ earnest money,” and of which [as well as of مِسْكِينٌ] the pl. is مَسَاكِينُ, belongs to art. مسك. (TA.) مِسْكِينٌ (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K, &c.) and مَسْكِينٌ, (L, Msb, K,) the latter anomalous, for there is no [other] instance of the measure مَفْعِيلٌ, (L,) of the dial. of Benoo-Asad, (L, Msb,) mentioned by Ks as heard by him from some one or more of that tribe, (L,) others saying مِسْكِينٌ, (Msb,) of the measure مِفْعِيلٌ (L) from السُّكُونُ, because the person to whom it is applied trusts to, or relies upon, others, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind: (Mgh, L, Msb:) primarily, (L,) it signifies Lowly, humble, or submissive; (IAth, Mgh, L;) and therefore the Prophet said, اَللّٰهُمَّ أَحْيِنِى مِسْكِينًا وَأَمِتْنِى مِسْكِينًا وَاْحْشُرْنِى فِى زُمْرَةِ المَسَاكِينِ [O God, make me to live lowly, and make me to die lowly, and gather me among the congregation of the lowly]: (Mgh, * L:) and hence it sometimes applies to him who possesses little and [sometimes] to him who possesses much: (L:) sometimes, (S,) it signifies (S, IAth, L, Msb, K) also (IAth, L) low, abject, ignominious, or in a state of abasement or humiliation; (S, IAth, L, Msb, K;) and weak; (S, L, K;) and subdued, or oppressed; though possessing riches or competence: (Msb:) [therefore] Sb says, it is one of the words expressive of pity, or compassion; [and as such may be rendered poor;] you say, مَرَرْت بِهِ المِسْكِينَ [I passed by him, I mean the poor man], putting it in the accus. case by the implication of أَعْنِى, though it may be in the genitive case as a substitute [for the pronoun], and in the nom. case by the suppression of هُوَ meant to be understood: (L:) in other cases, (S,) it is syn. with فَقِيرٌ, (S, L, Msb,) meaning (Msb) destitute, i. e. possessing nothing: (L, Msb, K:) or accord. to ISk, مسكين means thus; but the فقير is he who possesses a sufficiency of the means of subsistence: (Msb:) or the former means possessing somewhat; (L;) or [rather] needy, i. e. possessing what is not sufficient (L, K) for him (K) or for his family: (L:) or caused by poverty to have little power of motion; (L, K;) thus expl. by Aboo-Is-hák; but this is improbable; for مسكين has the meaning of an active part. n., and his explanation [like one of the others mentioned above] makes it to have that of a pass. part. n.: (L:) Yoo says the like of ISk: (Msb:) he used to say that the مسكين is in a harder condition than the فقير: (S, L, * Msb: *) he says, I asked an Arab of the desert, Art thou فقير? and he answered, No, by God, but rather مسكين; (S, L, * Msb;) but 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh says that this man may have meant that he was low, or abject, by reason of his distance from his people and his home; and that he does not think he meant anything but that: (L:) [J also adds,] it is said in a trad. that the مسكين is not he whom a mouthful or two mouthfuls will turn back, or away, but is only he who does not beg, and who is not known so that he may be given [anything]; (S;) but Ziyádet-Allah Ibn-Ahmad says that the فقير is he who sits in his house, not begging, and the مسكين is he who begs and is given; and hence it is argued that the latter is in a better condition than the former; though it indicates that the former is more highminded than the latter: (L:) accord. to As, the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير; and this is [said to be] the right assertion, (Mgh, L, Msb,) for the pl. of the former is applied in the Kur xviii. 78 to men possessing a ship, or boat, which is worth a considerable sum; (L, Msb;) but they may have been thus termed because they were humbled and abased by the tyranny of the king who took every ship, or boat, that he found upon the sea, by force; (L;) and it is said that these men were hirers, not owners, of the vessel: (TA voce فَقِيرٌ, q. v.:) 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh says, that the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير is shown by a passage in the Kur [ix. 60], where it is said that the poor-rates are for the فُقَرَآء and the مَسَاكِين; for you will find the classes to be there mentioned in such an order that the second is better in condition than the first, and the third than the second, and in like manner the fourth and the fifth and the sixth and the seventh and the eighth: and he says that the same is shown by the fact that the Arabs sometimes used مسكين as a proper name, but not فقير: (L:) or when these two words are used together, they differ in signification; and when used separately, they [sometimes] signify the same: (El-Bedr El-Karáfee, TA in art. فقر:) [see more voce فَقِيرٌ:] a woman is termed مِسْكِينَةٌ (Sb, S, L, Msb, K) and مِسْكِينٌ also; (S, L, K;) the former by way of assimilation to فَقِيرَةٌ; (Sb, S, L;) the latter being accord. to rule, for an epithet of the measure مِفْعِيلٌ is regularly applied alike to a male and a female; (S, Msb;) or, as Abu-l-Hasan says, this is only when it is an intensive epithet, which مِسْكِينَةٌ is not: (L:) the pl. is مَسَاكِينُ and مِسْكِينُونَ, (S, L, K,) applied to men, (K,) or to a company of people, (S, L,) and مِسْكِينَاتٌ applied to female. (S, L, K.)

حسد

1 حَسَدَهُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ and حَسَدَهُ الشَّىْءَ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ and حَسِدَ, (S, K,) the latter form of aor. used by some, (Akh, S,) the former being that which commonly obtains, (TA,) inf. n. حَسَدٌ (Akh, S, A, Msb, K [in the CK حَسْد]) and حَسْدٌ, but the former is more common, (Msb,) and حُسُودٌ and حَسَادَةٌ (S, K) and حَسِيدَةٌ; (CK;) and ↓ حسّدهُ, [which probably has an intensive signification,] (K,) inf. n. تَحْسِيدٌ; (TA;) He envied him for the thing, or envied him the thing, meaning a blessing, or a cause of happiness; i. e. he disliked that he should possess it, and wished that it might depart from him [and be transferred to himself]: (Msb:) or he wished, or regarded him with a wish, that the thing, meaning as above, might depart from him: (A:) or he wished that he might be deprived of the thing, meaning as above, or an excellence: (K: [in the CK, for يُسْلَبَهُمَا, is put يَسْلُبَهُمَا:]) or he wished that the thing, meaning a blessing, or a cause of happiness, (S, K,) or an excellence, (K,) might become transferred from him (another) to himself. (S, K.) b2: and حَسَدَهُ عَلَى شَجَاعَتِهِ وَ نَحْوِهَا He wished that he possessed such as his (another's) courage, and the like, without wishing that the other should be deprived of it; the verb in this case being syn. with غَبَطَ; and implying admiration. (Msb) b3: حَسَدَنِى

اللّٰهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ أَحْسُدُكَ (M, K) is a saying of the Arabs, mentioned by Lh, strange and abominable, (M,) meaning May God punish me for my envy if I envy thee. (M, K.) 2 حَسَّدَ see 1.4 صَحِبْتُهُ فَأَحْسَدْتُهُ I associated with him and found him to be envious. (A.) 6 تحاسدوا They envied (حَسَدُوا) one another. (S, A, * K.) حَسَدٌ Envy; or the wishing that a blessing, or a cause of happiness, may depart from its possessor (S, A) and become transferred to oneself. (S.) [See 1.]

حَسُودٌ Envious: (Msb, K:) used also as a fem. epithet without ة: (TA:) pl. حُسُدٌ. (K.) حَاسِدٌ Envying: (S, Msb, K:) pl. حَسَدَةٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and حُسَّادٌ (Msb, A, K) and حُسَّدٌ. (A, K.) المَحْسَدَةُ مَفْسَدَةٌ [That which is a cause of envy is a cause of corruption, or evil]. (A.) مَحْسُودٌ Envied. (S, A, Msb.)

حمد

1 حَمِدَهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. حَمْدٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and مَحْمَدٌ and مَحْمِدٌ (L, K) and مَحْمَدَةٌ (S, L, K) and مَحْمِدَةٌ; (L, K, and so in a copy of the S;) the last of these inf. ns. [and the third also] extr.; (L;) or the last is an inf. n. and the last but one signifies “ a praiseworthy quality,” or “ a quality for which one is praised; ” (ElFenáree, MF;) or the last may be a simple subst.; (Har p. 392;) He praised, eulogized, or commended, him; spoke well of him; mentioned him with approbation; (Akh, S, L, Msb;) عَلَى كَذَا for such a thing; (L, Msb;) contr. of ذَمَّهُ: (S, L:) accord. to IAmb, formed by transposition from مَدَحَ: (marginal note in a copy of the MS:) but it is of less common application than the latter verb; (Msb in art. مدح;) signifying he praised him, &c., for something depending on his (the latter's) own will: thus, the describing a pearl as clear is not حَمْدٌ, but it is مَدْحٌ: (Kull p. 150:) or i. q. شَكَرَهُ: (Lh, K:) but it differs [sometimes] from this; (Msb;) for شُكْرٌ is only on account of favour received; whereas حَمْدٌ is sometimes because of favour received, (Th, Az, Msb,) and sometimes from other causes; (Th;) [and thus] the latter is of more common application than the former; (S;) therefore you do not say, شَكَرْتُهُ عَلَى شَجَاعَتِهِ; but you say, حَمِدْتُهُ على شجاعته I praised him, &c., for his courage. (Msb.) حمد also implies admiration: and it implies the magnifying, or honouring, of the object thereof; and lowliness, humility, or submissiveness, in the person who offers it; as in the saying of the afflicted, الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ Praise be to God; since in this case there is no worldly blessing, favour, or benefit. (Msb.) This last phrase is generally pronounced as it is written above: but some of the Arabs are related to have pronounced it الحَمْدَ لِلّٰهِ, putting the former word in the accus. case as the absolute complement of the verb أَحْمَدُ understood: and others, الحَمْدِلِلّٰهِ; assimilating the final vowel of the former word to the vowel immediately following it: and others, الحَمْدُ لُلّٰهِ; assimilating the first vowel in للّٰه to the vowel immediately preceding it: Zj, however, disapproves of the latter two modes of pronouncing it: some of them also said, بَدَأْتُ بِالحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ, meaning I began with the saying Praise be to God. (L.) [See also حَمْدٌ below.] You say, أَحْمَدُ إِلَيْكَ اللّٰهَ I praise God (Az, A, * L, K) to thee, or in thy presence: (L:) or with thee: (Kh, Az:) or I praise to thee God's benefits, and his blessings, or favours; or I praise to thee God's blessings, or favours, and discourse to thee of them. (L.) And حَمِدَ لَهُ أَمْرًا (tropical:) He approved of a thing for him. (L, K. *) And حَمِدَ إِلَيْهِ أَمْرًا (tropical:) He approved of a thing for him, and commanded, or enjoined, him to do it. (L.) and جاوَرْتُهُ فَمَا حَمِدْتُ جِوَارَهُ (tropical:) [I became his neighbour, and did not approve of being so]. (A.) See also 4. b2: Also, (aor. and inf. n. as above in the beginning of this art., K,) He recompensed, or requited, him: he gave him, or paid him, his due. (L, K.) A2: حَمِدَ عَلَيْهِ, aor. ـَ (L, K, *) inf. n. حَمَدٌ, (TA,) He was angry with him. (L, K.) 2 حمّد, inf. n. تَحْمِيدٌ, has a more intensive signification than حَمدَ; (S;) [He declared the praises of God: or] he praised God much, with good forms of praise (بِالمَحَامِدِ الحَسَنَةِ): (T, L:) or repeatedly; or time after time. (L, K.) تحميد [used as a simple subst.] has a pl., namely, تَحَامِيدُ. (A.) [See an ex. voce خَاتَمٌ, in the latter part of the paragraph.]4 احمد He (a man, S) came to a state, or result, such as was praised, or commended, or approved; properly, his affair, or case, came to such a state or result: (S, L, K:) or (so in the K, but in the L “ and ”) he did, or said, that for which he should be praised, or commended; or that which was praiseworthy, or commendable; (A, L, K; *) contr. of أَذَمَّ. (A.) And احمد أَمْرُهُ (assumed tropical:) His affair, or case, was, or became, praiseworthy, or approvable, in his estimation: (K:) or احمد أَمْرَهُ (as in the L) he esteemed his affair, or case, praiseworthy, or approvable. (L [agreeably with what next follows].) A2: احمدهُ He found him (a man, A, L) [or it] to be such as is praised, commended, or approved; or praiseworthy, commendable, or approvable; (S, A, L, Msb;) contr. of أَذَمَّهُ: (TA in art. ذم:) he made it manifest that he was worthy of praise, eulogy, commendation, or approbation: (L:) he approved of his action, and his course of conduct, or his tenet or tenets, and did not expose it, or them, to others. (K.) And أَحْمَدْتُ صَنِيعَهُ (tropical:) [I found his action to be praiseworthy, or commendable, or approvable]. (A.) And احمد الأَرْضَ (tropical:) He approved the land as a dwelling-place: (A:) or he found the land to be such as is praised, commended, or approved; as also ↓ حَمِدَهَا; (L, K;) but the former verb is the more chaste in this sense. (L.) And احمد مَوْضِعًا (tropical:) He found a place to be such as is praised, commended, or approved, and convenient, or suitable, so that he approved it as a dwelling-place, or for its pasture. (S, L.) 5 تحمّد He affected, or made a show of, (تَكَلَّفَ,) praise. (A.) You say, ↓ وَجَدْتُهُ مُتَحَمِّدًا مُتَشَكِّرًا [I found him affecting, or making a show of, praise and thanks]. (A.) b2: He praised himself. (KL.) [Golius assigns this meaning to ↓ احتمد, as on the authority of the KL; but it is not assigned to this verb in my copy of the KL.] b3: فُلَانٌ يَتَحَمَّدُ النّاس [app. a slight mistranscription, for لِلنَّاسِ, i. q. إِلَى النَّاسِ, as in an ex. in the next sentence but one,] Such a one pretends to men, or shows them, that he is praiseworthy, بِجُودِهِ for his liberality. (L.) b4: تحمّد عَلَيْهِ He reproached him for a favour, or benefit, which he (the former) had bestowed, or conferred; or recounted his gifts, or actions, to him; syn. اِمْتَنَّ. (S, L, K.) One says, مَنْ أَنْفَقَ مَالَهُ عَلَى

نَفْسِهِ فَلَا يَتَحَمَّدْ بِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ [Whoso expends his property upon himself, he shall not reproach men therewith as for favours, or benefits, bestowed]: (S, A:) or فلا يتحمّد بِه إِلَى النَّاسِ [he shall not pretend to men that he is praiseworthy on account of it]: a prov., meaning that a man is not praised for his beneficence to himself, but for his beneficence to others. (L.) 6 تحامدوا (tropical:) [They praised, or commended, a thing, one to another]. You say, الرُّعَآءُ يَتَحَامَدُونَ الكَلَأَ (tropical:) [The pastors praise, or commend, one to another, the herbage]. (A.) 8 احتمد: see 5.

A2: Said of heat, [It burned, or burned fiercely; or was, or became, vehement:] formed by transposition from احتدم. (S.) 10 اِسْتَحْمِدِ اللّٰهَ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ بِإِحْسَانِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ وإِنْعَامِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ [so I find it written, as though meaning Demand thou, of his creatures, the praising of God, by reason of his beneficence to them, and his bounty to them: but I think that we should read اِسْتَحْمَدَ اللّٰهُ, and that the meaning is, God hath demanded praise of his creatures by his beneficence, &c.]. (A.) حَمْدٌ Praise, eulogy, or commendation; &c. (S, &c. [For further explanations of this word, and respecting the phrase الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ and its variations, see 1: and see also شَكَرَ.]) سُبْحَانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ, said by a person praying, means [I extol, or celebrate, or declare, thy remoteness, or freedom, from every impurity, or imperfection, &c., O God, (see art. سبح,)] and I begin with praising Thee; أَبْتَدِئُ being understood: (Az, L, Msb:) or by بحمدك is meant الحَمْدُ لَكَ praise be to Thee: and nearly the same is said in explanation of the phrase in the Kur [ii. 28], نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ, that by بحمدك is meant حَامِدِينَ لَكَ: [see, again, art. سبح:] or by the expression وبحمدك is meant, accord. to Aboo-'Othmán ElMázinee, and by praising Thee I extol thy remoteness, or freedom, from every impurity, &c.; سَبَّحْتُكَ being understood: or the و is redundant, as it is in the phrase, رَبَّنَاوَلَكَ الحَمْدُ [O our Lord, praise be to Thee], in which the و is sometimes omitted: or, accord. to Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà, the و is corroborative, as in the phrase, وَهُوَ لَكَ, for هُوَ لَكَ. (Msb.) لِوَآءُ الحَمْدِ بِيَدِى يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ [The standard of praise shall be in my hand on the day of resurrection (said by Mohammad)] means that he shall be singularly distinguished by praise, or praising, on that day. (L.) b2: See حَمَادِ: b3: and حُمَادَاكَ.

A2: See also حَمِيدٌ.

A3: It is also said to signify The young one of the kind of bird called قَطًا: so in the prov., حمْدُ قَطَاةٍ يَسْتَمِى الأَرَانِبَ A young one of a katà desires to make the hares its prey: applied to a weak man who desires to insnare a strong one. (Meyd, TA.) A4: See also what next follows.

حَمَدَةٌ The sound of the flaming, or blazing, of fire; (S, K;) as also حَدَمَةٌ [from which it is formed by transposition: see 8: and ↓ حَمْدٌ app. signifies the same: see حَدْمٌ]. (TA.) حُمَدَةٌ: see حَمَّادٌ.

حَمَادِ لَهُ Praise, and thanks, be to him: (S, L, K:) i. e., to such a one: (S, L:) contr. of جَمَادِ لَهُ [q. v.]. (S and A in art. جمد.) حَمَادِ is indecl., with kesr for its termination, because it deviates from its original, which is the inf. n. [↓ الحَمْدُ]: (S, L:) [i. e.,] it is [a quasi-inf. n., (see اِسْمُ مَصْدَرٍ in art. صدر,) being] a proper name for المَحْمَدَةُ [as syn. with الحَمْدُ]. (Sharh Shudhoor edh-Dhahab.) حَمُودٌ: see what next follows.

حَمِيدٌ and ↓ مَحْمُودٌ (S, A, L, K) and ↓ حَمُودٌ (as in copies of the K, but this seems to be an intensive epithet,) Praised, eulogized, or commended; spoken well of; mentioned with approbation; approved; such as is praised, &c.; praiseworthy, laudable; commendable, or approvable: (S, L, K: [in which, as well as in numberless exs., all these significations are clearly indicated, though not so clearly explained; the Arabic words to which they apply exactly agreeing with the Latin “ laudatus,” which means both “ praised ” and “ praiseworthy: ”]) the fem. of the first is with ة, (L, K,) because the signification, though properly that of a pass. part. n., nearly agrees with that of an act. part. n.: (L:) you say, [هِىَ حَمِيدَةٌ She is praised, &c.; and] أَفْعَالُهُ حَمِيدَةٌ (tropical:) [His actions are praised, &c.]. (A.) ↓ حَمْدٌ, also, [originally an inf. n., like its contr.

ذَمٌّ,] used as an epithet applied to a man, is syn. with مَحْمُودٌ; (K;) and as an epithet applied to a woman, syn. with مَحْمُودَةٌ, (TA,) as is also حَمْدَةٌ: (K, TA:) and you likewise say مَنْزِلٌ حَمْدٌ (K) and مَنْزِلَهٌ حَمْدَةٌ (Lh) (assumed tropical:) A place where one alights, sojourns, or abides, such as is praised, or approved, (K, TA,) and convenient, or suitable. (TA.) الحَمِيدُ, meaning He who is praised, or praiseworthy, in every case, is an epithet applied to God; one of the names termed الأَسْمَآءُ الحُسْنَى. (L.) ↓ المَقَامُ المَحْمُودُ [mentioned in the Kur xvii. 81] means (assumed tropical:) The station in which its occupant shall be praised by all creatures [on the day of resurrection] because of his being quickly reckoned with, and relieved from long standing: or it is the station of the intercessor. (L.) حُمَادَاكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا (S, L, K *) and ↓ حَمْدُكَ (L) The utmost of thy power, or of thine ability, [or the utmost of thy praiseworthy actions, (see an ex. of the pl. in what follows,) will be] thy doing such a thing; syn. مَبْلَغُ جَهْدِكَ, (L,) or قُصَارَاكَ, (S, L,) and غَايَتُكَ: (S, L, K:) and in like manner, حُمَادِى The utmost of my power, &c. (K.) حُمَادَيَاتُ النِّسَآءِ غَضُّ الطَّرْفِ, said by Umm-Selemeh, means The utmost of the praiseworthy qualities of women is the lowering of the eye. (L.) حَمَّادٌ (TA) and ↓ حُمَدَةٌ (A, K) A man (TA) who praises things much; a great, or frequent, praiser: (A, K, TA:) or the latter, a man who praises things much and extravagantly. (S.) You say, إِنَّهُ لَحَمَّادٌ لِلّٰهِ Verily he is one who praises God much, or repeatedly, or time after time. (L, K.) العَوْدُ أَحْمَدُ is a prov., (S,) meaning (tropical:) Repetition is more attributive of praise (أَكْثَرُ حَمْدًا): (S, A, K:) for generally you do not desire to return to a thing save after experience, or knowledge, [and approbation,] thereof: [the act of returning, therefore, implies praise:] or the meaning is, when one begins a kind act, he attracts praise to himself; and when one repeats, he gains more praise for himself: or احمد is from the pass. part. n., and the meaning is, the beginning is praised, or praiseworthy; and repetition is more deserving of being praised. (K.) [See Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 130]

مَحْمَدَةٌ (S, Mgh) and مَحْمِدَةٌ (Mgh) (assumed tropical:) [A cause of praise, commendation, or approval; a praiseworthy, commendable, or approvable, quality or action;] a thing for which one is, or is to be, praised, commended, or approved: (Mgh:) [see 1, first sentence:] contr. of مَذَمَّةٌ: (S:) [pl. مَحَامِدُ.] You say, هٰذَا طَعَامٌ لَيْسَتْ عِنْدَهُ مَحْمِدَةٌ, with kesr to the second م, (tropical:) [This is food in which is no approvable quality;] the eating of which is not approved. (A.) b2: [The pl.] مَحَامِدُ signifies [also] (assumed tropical:) Forms of praise. (Msb in art. جمع; &c.) [See 2.]

حرز: حرز، يحرز: يسوى، يساوي، له ثمن أو قيمة، يقال: كل شيء يحرز ثمنا أي كل شيء له ثمنه.
ويحرز: مُهم، ذو اهمية، خطير. ما تحرز (جاء بالتاء في موضعين مختلفين) أو هذا شيء ما يحرز: أي هذا شيء لا يذكر أو لا يعتد به.
شيء ما يحرز: شيء لا طائل فيه، سفاف، ترّهة (بوشر).
حَرَّز: (بالتشديد) حَصَّن المدينة (معجم البلاذري) أَحْرزَ: إن معناه صان وحفظ وادخر قد تغير لان هذا الفعل يستعمل أيضاً بمعنى حدَّق وحملق وأحدَّ النظر. ففي تاريخ البربر (2: 146): وأقام على ذلك أربع عشرة سنة وعيون الخطوب تحرزه والأيام تستجمع لحربه أي إن عيون الحروب تحدق فيه.
وأحرز: حاز، كسب، اكتسب، حصَّل على يقال مثلا أحرز نقودا وأحرز سلاحا مما كان في معسكر العدو بعد الانتصار عليه (مختارات من تاريخ العرب ص420) في البلد الذي انتصر على المدافعين عنه (معجم البلاذري) وفي قلائد القيان: أحرز من البلاغة مأحرز (انظر لين في مادة خَصَّل) وقد أورد هذا العلم اللغوي في آخر ما ذكره عن أحرز مثلا لا علاقة له باحرز ويجب أن يذكر مع الاسم حَرَز الذي لم يذكره لين وقد صحَّح هذا الخطأ في معجم البلاذري.
تحرَّز: يقال: تحرَّز على نفسه: احتاط لنفسه: تحفظ أخذ حذره (معجم أبو الفداء).
وتحرز: تحصَّن في موقعه، واعتصم به في خنادق. واتخذ من التدابير ما يمكنه من مقاومة العدو (معجم المتفرقات).

احترز عنه: توقاه وتحاشاه. واحتراز: احتراس، تحفظ.
ومحترز: محترس، متحفظ (بوشر) حِرْز: عوذة تميمة. ولا تجمع على أَحْراز فقط (لين، فوك، كرتاس ص168) بل على حروز أيضاً (فوك، ألكالا، هلو، شيرب ديال ص107).
والعُوَذ أو التمائم: حسب ما ورد في رحلة إلى عوادة لا تعني العوذ والتمائم بل الاعماد الأسطوانية التي تحفظ فيها. وهذا خطا لان لهذه الاعماد أسماء أخرى ففي كوزج مختارات (ص73) مثلا: وكان مع ستي قَصَبَة فِضَّة فيها حرز كتبه الحكيم دِهْقَان.
وتربط الاحراز على كل ما يحبُّ، على الحيوانات والأشياء (هوست ص223، حيث يجب أن تبدل حرش بحرز) وبخاصة في أعناق الجياد (انظر جاكسون ص247، ريلي ص485) ومن هذا يذكر هوست (ص11) حرز بمعنى الزينة في عنق الفرس.
وضبطها بوشر حُرْز وجمعها حُرُوزَة ويكتبها دافيدسن (ص69) حٌرز أيضا: زينة من الجلد.
أعطيته هذا في حرز مثله، أي أعطيته هذا مقابل رهن شيء له نفس القيمة (بوشر).
حُرْز: انظر: حِرز أعلاه.
حَرَز: أساء فريتاج تفسيره فقال ما معناه: كل ما يُحَرز ومعناه كل ما يحصل عليه (معجم البلاذري) حيث تجد شرحا لشطر البيت الذي تمثَّل به أبو بكر والذي اصبح مثلاً وهو: وأحرز وابتغي النوافلا وقد شرحه لين غير انه ذكره بطريقة غير صحيحة في مادة أحرز. حرزة (حِرْزَة؟) تجمع على حرزات وحرز (حِرَز.؟) يقال في الكلام عن نبات: حرزة من ترابة: مدرة وهو المقدار من التراب الذي يلتصق بجذور النباتات حتى تزرع أو حين تقلع (ابن العوام 1: 170، 174، كررت فيها مرتين، 179، 184، 215، 250، 268) وربما كان لابد لنا أن نقرأ الجمع حرز الذي يعني كومة، وجثوة في تاريخ ابن خلكان (9: 31) الذي جاء فيه: عمد إلى خرز عظام اتخذها من الحجارة ونضدَّ بعضها إلى بعض في البحر المالح. وكلمة حرز هذه هي فيما يقول دي سلان (الترجمة 3: 486 رقم 16) هي التي وردت في جميع المخطوطات غير أنه يشك أن تكون صحيحة وأنا أرى نفس الرأي.
حِرازة: ( Custadia) في معجم فوك.
حَرَّاز: هو الذي يكتب الإحراز (فوك).
أحرزْ: اسم تفضيل، أكثر حصانة (كليلة ودمنة ص240) وقد صحَّحت في التعليقات النقدية (ص106).

علم الحساب
هو علم بقواعد تعرف بها طرق استخراج المجهولات العددية من المعلومات العددية المخصوصة من الجمع والتفريق والتصنيف والتضعيف والضرب والقسمة.
والمراد بالاستخراج معرفة كمياتها.
وموضوعه العدد إذ يبحث فيه عن عوارضه الذاتية والعدد هو الكمية المتألفة من الوحدات فالوحدة مقومة للعدد وأما الواحد فليس بعدد ولا مقوم له وقد يقال لكل ما يقع تحت العد فيقع على الواحد وعبارة ابن خلدون هي صناعة عملية في حساب الأعداد بالضم والتفريق فالضم يكون في الأعداد بالإفراد هو الجمع وبالتضعيف وهو تضاعف عددا بآحاد عدد آخر وهذا هو الضرب والتفريق أيضا يكون في الأعداد.
أما بالإفراد مثل إزالة عدد من عدد ومعرفة الباقي وهو الطرح.
أو تفصيل عدد بأجزاء متساوية تكون عدتها محصلة وهو القسمة وسواء كان هذا الضم التفريق في الصحيح من العدد أو الكسر.
ومعنى الكسر نسبة عدد إلى عدد تلك النسبة تسمى كسر أو كذلك يكون بالضم والتفريق في الجذور ومعناها العدد الذي يضرب في مثله فيكون منه العدد المربع فإن تلك الجذور أيضا يدخلها الضم والتفريق.
وهذه الصناعة حادثة احتيج إليها للحساب في المعاملات انتهى.
ومنفعته ضبط المعاملات وحفظ الأموال وقضاء الديون وقسمة المواريث والتركات وضبط ارتفاعات المماليك وغير ذلك.
ويحتاج إليه في العلوم الفكلية وفي المساحة والطب وقيل يحتاج إليه في جميع العلوم بالجملة ولا يستغني عنه ملك ولا عالم ولا سوقة وزاد شرفا بقوله - سبحانه وتعالى -: {وَكَفَى بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ} وبقوله تعالى: {وَلِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ} وقوله تعالى: {فاسْأَلِ الْعَادِّينَ} ولذلك ألف فيه الناس كثيرا وتداولوه في الأمصار بالتعليم للولدان.
ومن أحسن التعليم عند الحكماء الابتداء به لأنه معارف متضحة وبراهينه منتظمة فينشأ عنه في الغالب عقل مضيء يدل على الصواب وقد يقال إن من أخذ نفسه بتعلم الحساب أول أمره يغلب عليه الصدق لما في الحساب من صحة المباني ومنافسة النفس فيصير له ذلك خلقا ويتعود الصدق ويلازمه مذهبا.
وهو مستغلق على المبتدئ إذا كان من طريق البرهان وهذا شأن علوم التعاليم لأن مسائلها وأعمالها واضحة وإذا قصد شرحها وهو التعليل في تلك الأعمال ظهر من العسر على الفهم مالا يوجد في أعمال المسائل.
وهو فرع علم العدد المسمى بالأرتماطيقي وله فروع أوردها صاحب مفتاح السعادة بعد أن جعل علم العدد أصلا وعلم الحساب مرادفا له مع كونه فرعا حيث قال:
الشعبة الثامنة في فروع علم العدد وقد يسمى بعلم الحساب فعرفه بتعريف مغاير لتعريف علم العدد.
قال في مدينة العلوم ولعلم الحساب فروع.
منها علم حساب التخت والميل وهو علم يتعرف منه كيفية مزاولة الأعمال الحسابية برقوم تدل على الآحاد وتغني عما عداها بحفظ المراتب وتنسب هذه الأرقام إلى الهند انتهى.
وقال صاحب الكشف:
بل هو علم بصور الرقوم الدالة على الأعداد مطلقا ولكل طائفة أرقام دالة على الآحاد الأرقام الهندية والرومية والمغربية والإفرنجية والنجومية وغيرها ويقال له التخت والتراب أيضا انتهى
ونفع هذا العلم ظاهر ولابن الهيثم كتاب برهن فيه بمعرفة أصول أعماله ببراهين عددية لما فيسه من تسيهل الأعمال الحسابية.
ومن الكتب الشاملة فيه كتاب نصير الدين الطوسي وكتاب: البهائية وشرحه وكتاب المحمدية لعلي القوشجي وغير ذلك من الكتب التي لا تحصى.
ولأهل المغرب طرق ينفردون بها في الأعمال الجزئية من هذا العلم فمنها قريبة المآخذ لطرق ابن الياسين ومنها بعيدة كطرق الحضار كذا في المدينة.
ومنها علم الجبر والمقابلة وقد سبق في الجيم.
ومنها علم حساب الخطأين وهو قسم من مطلق الحساب وسيأتي في الخاء المعجمة وإنما جعل علما برأسه لتكثير الأنواع.
ومنها علم حساب النجوم وهو علم يبحث فيه عن كيفية حساب الأرقام الواقعة في الزيجات وهذا وإن كان من فروع علم العدد إلا أنه لما امتازت عن سائر علم الحساب بقواعد مخصوصة يعرفها أهلها وتوقف علم التقويم عليه جعلوه علما برأسه.
ومنها علم حساب الدور والوصايا وهو علم يتعرف منه مقدار ما يوصي به إذا تعلق بدور في بادئ النظر.
مثال: رجل وهب لعتقه في مرض موته مائة درهم لا مال له غيرها فقبضها ومات قبل موت سيده وخلف بنتا والسيد المذكور ثم مات السيد فظاهر المسئلة أن الهبة تمضي من المائة في ثلثها فإذا مات المعتق رجع إلى السيد نصف الجائز بالهبة فيزداد مال السيد من إرثه وهلم جراً.
وبهذا العلم يتعين مقدار الجائز بالهبة.
وظاهر أن منفعة هذا العلم جليلة وإن كانت الحاجة إليه قليلة ومن كتبه كتاب لأفضل الدين الخونجي.
أقول هذا العلم يؤول إلى علم الجبر والمقابلة وفيه تأليف لطيف لأبي حنيفة أحمد بن داود الدينوري المتوفى سنة إحدى وثمانين ومائتين وكتاب نافع لأحمد بن محمد الكرابيسي وكتاب مفيد لأبي كامل شجاع بن مسلم ذكر فيه كتاب الوصايا بالجذور للحجاج بن يوسف. ومنها: علم حساب الدرهم والدينار وهي علم يتعرف منه كيفية استخراج المجهولات العددية التي تزيد عدتها على المعادلات الجبرية ولهذه الزيادة لقبوا تلك المجهولات بالدرهم والدينار والفلس وغير ذلك ومنفعته كمنفعة الجبر والمقابلة فيما يكثر فيه الأجناس المعادلة:
ومن الكتب المؤلفة فيه كتاب لابن فلوس إسماعيل بن إبراهيم بن غازي المارديني الحنبلي المتوفى سنة سبع وثلاثين وستمائة والرسالة المغربية والرسالة الشاملة للخرقي والكافي الكرخي. ومختصره للسمؤل بن يحيى بن عباس المغربي الإسرائيلي المتوفى سنة ست وسبعين وخمسمائة كذا في إرشاد القاصد وكتاب لابن المحلي الموصلي.
ومن المبسوطة فيه الكافي والكامل لأبي الــقاسم بن السمح.
ومنها علم حساب الفرائض وهو معرفة فروض الوراثة وتصحيح سهام الفريضة مما نصح باعتبار فروضها الأصول أو مناسختها وذلك إذا هلك أحد الورثة وانكسرت سهامه على فروض ورثته فإنه حينئذ يحتاج إلى حساب يصحح الفريضة الأولى حتى يصل أهل الفروض جميعا في الفريضتين إلى فروضهم من غير تجزية.
وقد تكون هذه المناسخات أكثر من واحد واثنين وتتعدد لذلك بعدد أكثر وبقدر ما تتعدد تحتاج إلى الحسبان.
وكذلك إذا كانت فريضة ذات وجهين مثل أن يقر بعض الورثة بوارث وينكره الآخر فتصحح على الوجهين حينئذ وينظر مبلغ السهام ثم تقسم التركة على نسب سهام الورثة من أصل الفريضة وكل ذلك يحتاج إلى الحسبان وكان غالبا فيه وجعلوه فناء مفردا وللناس فيه تآليف كثيرة.
أشهرها عند المالكية من متأخري الأندلس كتاب ابن ثابت ومختصر القاضي أبي الــقاسم الحوفي ثم الجعدي.
ومن متأخري إفريقية ابن النمر الطرابلسي وأمثالهم.
وأما الشافعية والحنفية والحنابلة فلهم فيه تآليف كثيرة وأعمال عظيمة صعبة شاهدة لهم باتساع الباع في الفقه والحساب
وقد يحتج الأكثر من أهل هذا الفن على فضله بالحديث المنقول عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه إن الفرائض ثلث العلم وإنها أول ما ينسى وفي رواية نصف العلم خرجه أبو نعيم الحافظ واحتج به أهل الفرائض بناء على أن المراد بالفرائض فروض الوراثة.
والذي يظهر أن هذا المحمل بعيد وأن المراد بالفرائض إنما هي الفرائض التكليفية في العبادات والعادات والمواريث وغيرها وبهذا المعنى يصحح فيها المنصفية والثلثية وأما فروض الوراثة فهي أقل من ذلك كله بالنسبة إلى علم الشريعة كلها أو يعين هذا المراد أن حمل اللفظ للفرائض على هذا الفن المخصوص أو تخصيصه بفروض الوراثة إنما لهو صلاح ناشئ للفقهاء عند حدوث الفنون 2 / 243 والاصطلاحات ولم يكن صدر الإسلام يطلق على هذا الأعلى عموم مشتقا من الفرض الذي هو لغة التقدير أو القطع وما كان المراد به في إطلاقه إلا جميع الفروض كما قلناه وهي حقيقته الشرعية فلا ينبغي أن يحمل إلا على ما كان يحمل في عصرهم والله - سبحانه وتعالى - أعلم وبه التوفيق انتهى كلام ابن خلدون ملخصا. ومنها علم حساب الهواء وهو علم يتعرف منه كيفية حساب الأموال العظيمة في الخيال بلا كتابة ولها طرق وقوانين مذكورة في بعض الكتب الحسابية وهذا العلم عظيم النفع للتجار في الأسفار وأهل السوق من العوام الذين لا يعرفون الكتابة وللخواص إذا عجزوا عن إحضار آلات الكتابة.
ومنها علم حساب العقود أي عقود الأصابع وقد وضعوا كلا منها بإزاء عدد مخصوص ثم رتبوا الأوضاع الأصابع آحادا وعشرات ومئات وألوفا ووضعوا قواعد يتعرف بها حساب الألوف فما فوقها بيد واحدة.
وهذا عظيم النفع للتجار سيما عند استعجام كل من المتبايعين لسان الأخر عند فقد آلات الكتابة والعصمة عن الخطأ في هذا العلم أكثر من حساب الهواء.
وكان هذا العلم يستعمله الصحابة رضي الله عنهم كما وقع في الحديث في كيفية وضع اليد على الفخذ.
ومنه في التشهد أنه عقد خمسا وخمسين وأراد بذلك هيئة وضع الأصابع لأن هيئة عقد خمس وخمسين في علم العقود هي عقد أصابع اليد غير السبابة والإبهام وتحليق الإبهام معها وهذا الشكل في العلم المذكور دال على العدد المرقوم فالراوي ذكر المدلول وأراد الدال.
وهذا دليل على شيوع هذا العلم عندهم والمراد بالعقود في تمثيل الدلالة غير اللفظية الوضعية هي عقود الأصابع حيث مثلوها بالخطوط والعقود والإشارات والنصب وفي هذا العلم أرجوزة لابن الحرب أورد فيها مقدار الحاجة ورسالة لشرف الدين اليزدي أورد فيها قدر الكفاية.
ومنها علم إعداد الوفق وتقدم في الألف.
ومنها علم خواص الأعداد المتحابة والمتباغضة وسيأتي في الخاء.
ومنها علم التعابي العددية وقد سبق في التاء وهذه الثلاثة من فروع علم العدد من حيث الحساب ومن فروع الخواص من جهة أخرى ولذلك أوردناها إجمالا كما أوردها صاحب مفتاح السعادة ومدينة العلوم وأما علم حساب النجوم فهو علم يتعرف منه قوانين حساب الدرج والدقائق والثواني والثوالث بالضرب والقسمة والتجذير والتفريق ومرابتها في الصعود والنزول وتقدم وفيه كتب مفردة غير ما بين في مبسوطات الكتب الحسابية وأما المصنفات في علم الحساب مطلقا فكثيرة ذكرها صاحب كشف الظنون على ترتيب الكتاب إجمالا لا نطول بذكرها.
