إِرْمِينِيَةُ:
بكسر أوله ويفتح، وسكون ثانيه، وكسر الميم، وياء ساكنة، وكسر النون، وياء
خفيفة مفتوحة: اسم لصقع عظيم واسع في جهة الشمال، والنسبة إليها أرمنيّ على غير قياس، بفتح الهمزة وكسر الميم، وينشد بعضهم:
ولو شهدت أمّ القديد طعاننا، ... بمرعش، خيل الأرمنيّ أرنّت
وحكى إسماعيل بن حمّاد فتحهما معا، قال أبو عليّ:
أرمينية إذا أجرينا عليها حكم العربي كان القياس في همزتها أن تكون زائدة، وحكمها أن تكسر لتكون مثل إجفيل وإخريط وإطريح ونحو ذلك، ثم ألحقت ياء النسبة، ثم ألحق بعدها تاء التأنيث، وكان القياس في النسبة إليها أرمينيّ، إلا أنها لما وافق ما بعد الراء منها ما بعد الحاء في حنيفة حذفت الياء كما حذفت من حنيفة في النسب وأجريت ياء النسبة مجرى تاء التأنيث في حنيفة كما أجرينا مجراها في روميّ وروم، وسنديّ وسند، أو يكون مثل بدويّ ونحوه مما غيّر في النسب، قال أهل السّير:
سمّيت أرمينية بأرمينا بن لنطا بن أومر بن يافث ابن نوح، عليه السلام، وكان أول من نزلها وسكنها، وقيل: هما أرمينيتان الكبرى والصّغرى، وحدّهما من برذعة إلى باب الأبواب، ومن الجهة الأخرى إلى بلاد الروم وجبل القبق وصاحب السرير، وقيل: إرمينية الكبرى خلاط ونواحيها وإرمينية الصغرى تفليس ونواحيها، وقيل: هي ثلاث أرمينيات، وقيل:
أربع، فالأولى: بيلقان وقبلة وشروان وما انضمّ إليها عدّ منها، والثانية: جرزان وصغدبيل وباب فيروز قباذ واللّكز، والثالثة: البسفرجان ودبيل وسراج طير وبغروند والنّشوى، والرابعة وبها قبر صفوان بن المعطّل صاحب رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، وهو قرب حصن زياد عليه شجرة نابتة لا يعرف أحد من الناس ما هي، ولها حمل يشبه اللوز يؤكل بقشره وهو طيّب جدّا، فمن الرابعة: شمشاط وقاليقلا وأرجيش وباجنيس، وكانت كور أرّان والسيسجان ودبيل والنّشوى وسراج طير وبغروند وخلاط وباجنيس في مملكة الروم، فافتتحها الفرس وضمّوها إلى ملك شروان التي فيها صخرة موسى، عليه السلام، التي بقرب عين الحيوان، ووجدت في كتاب الملحمة المنسوب إلى بطليموس: طول أرمينية العظمى ثمان وسبعون درجة، وعرضها ثمان وثلاثون درجة وعشرون دقيقة، داخلة في الإقليم الخامس، طالعها تسع عشرة درجة من السرطان، يقابلها خمس عشرة درجة من الجدي، ووسط سمائها خمس عشرة درجة من الحمل، بيت حياتها خمس عشرة درجة من الميزان، قال: ومدينة أرمينية الصغرى طولها خمس وسبعون درجة وخمسون دقيقة، وعرضها خمس وأربعون درجة، طالعها عشرون درجة من السرطان، يقابلها مثلها من الجدي بيت ملكها مثلها من الحمل بيت عاقبتها مثلها من الميزان، ولها شركة في العوّاء وفي الدّبّ الأكبر ولها شركة في كوكب هوز، وهو كوكب الحكماء، وما يولد مولود قط وكان طالعه كوكب هوز الا وكان حكيما، وبه ولد بطليموس وبقراط وأوقليدس، وهذه المدينة مقابلة لمدينة الحكماء، يدور عليها من كل بنات نعش أربعة أجزاء، وهي صحيحة الهواء، وكل من سكنها طال عمره، بإذن الله تعالى، هذا كله من كتاب الملحمة. وفي كتب الفرس: أن جرزان وأرّان كانتا في أيدي الخزر، وسائر ارمينية في ايدي الروم يتولّاها صاحبها أرميناقس وسمّته العرب أرميناق، فكانت الخزر تخرج فتغير، فربما بلغت الدينور، فوجّه قباذ بن فيروز الملك قائدا من عظماء
قواده في اثني عشر ألفا، فوطئ بلاد أرّان ففتح ما بين النهر الذي يعرف بالرّسّ إلى شروان، ثم ان قباذ لحق به فبنى بأرّان مدينة البيلقان، ومدينة برذعة، وهي مدينة الثغر كله، ومدينة قبلة، ونفى الخزر ثم بنى سدّ اللبن في ما بين شروان واللّان، وبنى على سدّ اللبن ثلاثمائة وستين مدينة، خربت بعد بناء باب الأبواب. ثم ملك بعد قباذ ابنه أنوشروان فبنى مدينة الشابران ومدينة مسقط ثم بنى باب الأبواب، وإنما سمّيت أبوابا لأنها بنيت على طرق في الجبل، وأسكن ما بنى من هذه المواضع قوما سمّاهم السياسجين، وبنى بأرض أرّان أبواب شكّى والقميران وأبواب الدّودانية، وهم أمة يزعمون أنهم من بني دودان بن أسد بن خزيمة بن مدركة بن الياس بن مضر بن معدّ بن عدنان، وبنى الدّرزوقية، وهي اثنا عشر بابا، على كل باب منها قصر من حجارة، وبنى بأرض جرزان مدينة يقال لها صغدبيل، وأنزلها قوما من الصّغد وأبناء فارس وجعلها مسلحة، وبنى مما يلي الروم في بلاد جرزان قصرا يقال له باب فيروز قباذ، وقصرا يقال له باب لازقة، وقصرا يقال له باب بارقة، وهو على بحر طرابزندة، وبنى باب اللان وباب سمسخى، وبنى قلعة الجردمان وقلعة سمشلدى، وفتح جميع ما كان بأيدي الروم من أرمينية، وعمّر مدينة دبيل ومدينة النّشوى وهي نقجوان، وهي مدينة كورة البسفرجان، وبنى حصن ويص وقلاعا بأرض السيسجان، منها: قلعة الكلاب والشاهبوش وأسكن هذه القلاع والحصون ذوي البأس والنجدة، ولم تزل أرمينية بأيدي الروم حتى جاء الإسلام، وقد ذكر في فتوح أرمينية في مواضعه من كل بلد، وذكر ابن واضح الأصبهاني أنه كتب لعدة من ملوكها وأطال. المقام بأرمينية ولم ير بلدا أوسع منه ولا أكثر عمارة، وذكر أن عدة ممالكها مائة وثماني عشرة مملكة، منها: صاحب السرير ومملكته من اللان وباب الأبواب وليس إليها إلا مسلكين، مسلك إلى بلاد الخزر ومسلك إلى أرمينية، وهي ثمانية عشر ألف قرية، وأرّان أول مملكته بأرمينية، فيها أربعة آلاف قرية وأكثرها لصاحب السرير، وسائر الممالك فيما بين ذلك تزيد على أربعة آلاف وتنقص عن مملكة صاحب السرير، ومنها: شروان وملكها يقال له شروان شاه. وسئل بعض علماء الفرس عن الأحرار الذين بأرمينية لم سمّوا بذلك؟ فقال:
هم الذين كانوا نبلاء بأرض أرمينية قبل أن تملكها الفرس، ثم إن الفرس أعتقوهم لما ملكوا وأقروهم على ولايتهم، وهم بخلاف الأحرار من الفرس الذين كانوا باليمن وبفارس فإنهم لم يملكوا قط قبل الإسلام فسمّوا أحرارا لشرفهم، وقد نسب بهذه النسبة قوم من أهل العلم، منهم: أبو عبد الله عيسى بن مالك بن شمر الأرمني، سافر إلى مصر والمغرب.

In the saying of El-Farezdak, غَدَاةَ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ كَانَّ سُيُوفَكُمْ

↓ ذَآنِينُ فِى أَعْنَاقِكُمْ لَمْ تُسَلْسَلِ [In the morning when ye turned back, as though your swords were ذآنين (pl. of ذُؤْنُونٌ a species of fungus) upon your necks, (for the sword was hung upon the shoulder, not by a waist-belt,) not drawn forth], he has separated the doubled letter: thus the verse is related by IAar: but by Th, ↓ لَمْ تَسَلَّلِ [for تَتَنَسَلَّلِ]. (M.) It is said in a trad., لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ العَجِينِ [I will assuredly draw thee forth from them like as the single hair is drawn forth from dough]. (TA.) And in another trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ أْسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبِى (tropical:) [O God, draw forth the rancour of my heart]: and hence the saying الهَدَايَا تَسُلُّ السَّخَائِمَ وَتَحُلُّ الشَّكَائِمَ (tropical:) [Presents draw away feelings of rancour, and loose, or melt, resistances, or incompliances]. (TA.) And سُلَّ, said of a colt, means He was drawn forth a سَلِيل [q. v.]. (M, TA.) b2: Also He took the thing. (Msb.) Hence one says, تُسَلُّ المَيِّتُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى الــقَبْرِ, i. e. [The dead body] is taken [head-foremost to the grave]: (Msb:) [or is drawn forth &c.: for] it is said of the Apostle of God, سُلَّ مِنْ قِبَل رَأْسِهِ, meaning He was drawn forth [&c.] from the bier. (Mgh.) b3: Also, aor. and inf. n. as above, He stole the thing: (Msb, TA:) or he stole it covertly, secretly, or clandestinely; (TA;) and so ↓ اسلّهُ. (TK.

(TA.) b4: And اسلّ He aided another to steal, or to steal covertly, secretly, or clandestinely. (TA.) b5: [See also إِسْلَالٌ below. Accord. to Freytag, اسلّ signifies He received a bribe: but this requires consideration: he gives no authority but the K, which does not justify this explanation.]

A2: اسلّهُ He (God) caused him to be affected with the disease termed سِلّ [q. v.]. (S, M, Msb, K.) 5 تسلّل: see 7: and see also 1, in the former half of the paragraph. b2: Also i. q. اِضْطَرَبَ [It was, or became, in a state of commotion, agitation, &c.]; said of a thing; as though it were imagined to be repeatedly drawn forth. (Er-Rághib, TA.) 7 انسلّ It (a thing) became pulled out, or drawn forth, gently; (M;) it became drawn, or pulled out or forth, as a sword from its scabbard, and a hair from dough. (Mgh.) You say, انسلّ السَّيْفُ مِنَ الغَمْدِ The sword [became drawn from the scabbard: or] slipped out from the scabbard. (TA.) And انسلّ قِيَادُالفَرَسِ مِنْ يَدِهِ [The leading-rope of the horse slipped out or] came forth [from his hand].

(S.) And اِنْسَلَلْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ I went away, and went forth, deliberately, or leisurely, and by degrees, from before him. (TA.) Sb says that اِنْسَلَلْتُ [used in this or a similar sense] is not a quasi-pass. verb; but is only like [a verb of the measure] فَعَلْتُ; like as اِفْتَقَرَ is like ضَعُفَ. (M.) It is said in a prov., رَمَتْنِى بِدَائِهَاوَانْسَلَّتْ [She reproached me with her own fault, and slipped away]: (S, Meyd, TA:) [originally] said by one of the fellow-wives of Ruhm, daughter of El-Khazraj, wife of Saad Ibn-Zeyd-Menáh, on Ruhm's reproaching her with a fault that was in herself.

(TA.) b2: And applied to A بِرْذَون [or horse for ordinary use and for journeying] that has an easy back in going along: a genuine Arabic word: (TA:) or رَهَوَانٌ [thus I find it written, but it is commonly pronounced رَهْوَان, or رَحْوَان with ح,] is a vulgar term applied to a pacing horse. (MF voce هِمْلَاجٌ.) رَهَآءٌ A wide place.

عَكّةُ:
بفتح أوله، وتشديد ثانيه، قال أبو زيد:
العكة الرملة حميت عليها الشمس، وقال الليث: العكة من الحرّ الفورة الشديدة في القيظ وهو الوقت الذي تركد فيه الريح، وقد تقدم في عك ما فيه كفاية، قال صاحب الملحمة: طول عكة ست وستون درجة، وعرضها إحدى وثلاثون درجة، وفي ذرع أبي عون:
طولها ثمان وخمسون درجة وخمس وعشرون دقيقة، وعرضها ثلاث وثلاثون درجة وثلث، وهي في الإقليم الرابع، وعكة: اسم بلد على ساحل بحر الشام من عمل الأردن، وهي من أحسن بلاد الساحل في أيامنا هذه وأعمرها، قال أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد بن أبي بكر البناء البشاري: عكة مدينة حصينة كبيرة الجامع فيه غابة زيتون يقوم بسرجه وزيادة، ولم تكن على هذه الحصانة حتى قدمها ابن طولون وكان قد رأى صور واستدارة الحائط على مينائها فأحب أن يتخذ لعكة مثل ذلك الميناء فجمع صنّاع الكور وعرض عليهم ذلك فقيل له لا يهتدي أحد إلى البناء في الماء في هذا الزمان، ثم ذكر له جدّنا أبو بكر البنّاء وقيل له: إن كان عند أحدهم فيه علم فهو عنده، فكتب إليه وأتي به من المقدس وعرض عليه ذلك فاستهان به والتمس منهم إحضار فلق من خشب الجميز غليظة، فلما حضرت عمد يصفّها على وجه الماء بقدر الحصن البرّي وضمّ بعضها إلى بعض وجعل لها بابا عظيما من ناحية الغرب ثم بنى عليها الحجارة والشّيد وجعل كلما بنى خمس دوامس ربطها بأعمدة غلاظ ليشتد البناء، وجعلت الفلق كلما ثقلت نزلت حتى إذا علم أنها قد استقرّت على الرمل تركها حولا كاملا حتى أخذت قرارها ثم عاد فبنى من حيث ترك، وكلما بلغ البناء إلى الحائط الذي قبله أدخله فيه ثم جعل على الباب قنطرة والمراكب كل ليلة تدخل الميناء وتجر سلسلة بينها وبين البحر الأعظم مثل صور، قال: فدفع إليه ألف دينار سوى الخلع والمركوب، واسمه عليه مكتوب إلى اليوم، قال: وكان العدو قبل ذلك يغير على المراكب، وفتحت عكة في حدود سنة 15 على يد عمرو بن العاص ومعاوية بن أبي سفيان، وكان لمعاوية في فتحها وفتح السواحل أثر جميل، ولما ركب منها إلى غزوة قبرص رمّها وأعاد ما تشعّث منها وكذلك فعل بصور، ثم خربت فجددها هشام بن عبد الملك، وكانت فيها صناعة بلاد الأردنّ، وهي محسوبة من حدود الأردن، ثم نقل هشام الصناعة منها إلى صور فبقيت على ذلك إلى قرابة أيام الإمام المقتدر ثم اختلفت ايدي المتغلبين عليها، وعمّرت عكة أحسن عمارة وصارت بها الصناعة إلى يومنا ذا، وهي للافرنج، وفي الحديث: طوبى لمن رأى عكة، وقال الفراء: هذه أرض عكة وأرض عكة، تضاف ولا تضاف، أي حارّة، وكانت قديما بيد المسلمين حتى أخذها الأفرنج ومعديهم بغدوين صاحب بيت المقدس من زهر الدولة بناء الجيوشي [1] منسوب إلى أمير الجيوش بدر الجمالي أو ابنه، وكان بها من قبل المصريين، فقصد الأفرنج برّا وبحرا في سنة 497 فقاتلهم أهل عكة حتى عجزوا عنهم لقصور المادة بهم وكان أهل مصر لا يمدونهم بشيء فسلموها إليهم وقتلوا منها خلقا كثيرا وسبوا جماعة أخرى حملوهم إلى خلف البحر، وخرج زهر الدولة حتى وصل إلى دمشق ثم عاد إلى مصر، ولم تزل في أيديهم حتى افتتحها صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب في جمادى الأولى سنة 583 وأشحنها بالرجال والعدد والميرة، فعاد الأفرنج ونزلوا عليها وخندقوا دونهم خندقا وجاءهم صلاح الدين ونزل دونهم وأقام حولهم ثلاث سنين حتى استعادها الأفرنج من المسلمين عنوة في سابع جمادى الآخرة سنة 587 وأحضروا أسارى المسلمين وكانوا نحو ثلاثة آلاف وحملوا عليهم حملة واحدة فقتلوهم عن آخرهم، وهي في أيديهم إلى الآن، وقد نسب إليها قوم، منهم: الحسن بن إبراهيم العكي، يروي عن الحسن بن جرير الصوري، روى عنه عبد الصمد بن الحكم.

1 بَلَاهُ, (T, S, Mgh, Msb,) aor. ـُ (T, Msb,) inf. n. بَلَآءٌ, (S,) or this is a simple subst., and the inf. n. is بَلْوٌ, (T, Msb,) He (God) tried, proved, or tested, him, (T, S, Msb,) بِخَيْرٍ [by, or with, good], or بِشَّرٍ [by, or with, evil]; (Msb;) for God tries his servant (يَبْلُوهُ) by, or with, a benefit, to test his thankfulness; and by, or with, a calamity, to test his patience; (T;) [wherefore it often means He afflicted him;] as also ↓ ابلاهُ, (T, S, Msb,) inf. n. إِبْلَآءٌ; (T, S; [in both restrieted to good; but in the Msb it seems to be common to good and evil;]) and ↓ ابتلاه: (T, S, M, Msb:) and بَلَوْتُهُ, inf. n. بَلْوٌ (S, M, K) and بَلَآءٌ, (M, K,) [but from what has been said above, it seems that the latter is used only when the agent is God, and that it is properly a simple subst.,] I tried, proved, or tested, him; (S, M, Mgh, * K;) as also ↓ اِبْتَلَيْتُهُ: (M, K:) each of these verbs implying two things; one of which is the learning the state, or condition, of the object, and becoming acquainted with what was unknown of the case thereof; and the other, the manifesting of the goodness or badness thereof; both of these things being sometimes meant, and sometimes only one of them, as when God is the agent, in which case only the latter is meant: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and ↓ التَّبَالِى, also, signifies the act of trying, proving, or testing. (S.) It is said in the Kur [xxi. 36], وَنَبْلُوكُمْ بِالشَّرِ وَالخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً [And we try you by, or with, evil and good, by way of probation]. (TA.) And in the same [ii. 118], ↓ وَإِذَ ابْتَلَى

إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلَمَاتٍ [And when his Lord tried Abraham by certain words, meaning commands and prohibitions]. (TA.) And you say, ↓ لَا تُبْلِنَا

إِلَّا بِالَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ [Try Thou not us save by those things that are best]; (T;) from a trad. (TA.) [See also 4 and 8 below.] b2: [Hence,] بَلَوْتُهُ also signifies (tropical:) I smelt it. (T in art. بول, and A and TA.) b3: [And بَلَاهُ He knew it, or became acquainted with it. (See بَالٍ.)] b4: See also 4, in the latter half of the paragraph.

A2: بَلِى, aor. ـَ inf. n. بِلًا, or بِلًى, [in the CK, erroneously, بَلًى,] and بَلَآءٌ, [in the CK, erroneously, بِلاء,] (T, S, M, Msb, K,) the former with kesr and the latter with fet-h, (T, S, Msb,) said of a garment, (T, S, M, &c.,) It was, or became, old, and worn out: (Msb:) belonging to the present art. and to art. بلى. (M.) [The inf. n., used as a subst., signifies Wear; attrition; wear and tear: see an ex. in a hemistich cited near the end of the first paragraph of art. الا, where a dwelling is likened to a garment.] b2: Also said of a plant [as meaning It became old and withered, or wasted]. (K in art. عنث, &c.) b3: And of a corpse, meaning It became consumed by the earth. (Msb.) b4: and of a bone, meaning It became old, and decayed; syn. رَمَّ. (S and K &c. in art. رم.) b5: And of a man's reputation, meaning (assumed tropical:) It became worn out of regard or notice. (TA in art. دثر.) b6: and [hence,] بَلِيَتْ, (M,) or بُلِيَتْ, (K,) She (a camel, M, K, or a mare, or beast of the equine kind, M) was, or became, a بَلَيِّة; i. e., was tied at her dead master's grave (M, K) without food or water (M) until she died (M, K) and wasted away. (M in art. بلى.) 2 بَلَّوَ see 4, in six places, in the latter half of the paragraph.3 لَا أَبَالِيهِ is from البلآء, [inf. n. of بَلَاهُ,] so that it signifies [properly] I shall not, or I do not, care for him, mind him, heed him, or regard him, so as to share with him my trial and his trial: (Ham p. 94:) [and hence,] one says thus, (S, Mgh, Msb,) or مَا أَبَالِيهِ, (M, K,) and لَا أَبَالِىبِهِ, (Mgh, Msb,) or مَا أُبَالِى بِهِ, (MF, TA,) but the verb is more chastely made trans. without the preposition بِ, (A, TA,) inf. n. مُبَالَاةٌ (M, Mgh, Msb, K) and بِلَآءٌ (M, K, TA [in the CK, erroneously, بَلاء]) and بَالَةٌ (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) said by some to be a quasi-inf. n. and by others to be an inf. n., (MF, TA,) [in the T it is said to be a subst., from المُبَالَاةُ,] originally بَالِيَةٌ, like عَافِيَةٌ from عَافَاهُ, (T, S, Mgh, Msb,) and بَالٌ, [which is more strange,] (M, K,) meaning [merely] I shall not, or I do not, care for, mind, heed, or regard, him, or it; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) I shall not be, or I am not, disquieted by him, or it: (Mgh, Msb:) or, as some say, لَا أُبَالِيهِ is formed by transposition from لَا أُبَاوِلُهُ, from البَالُ, i. e. I will not, or I do not, cause him, or it, to move, or occur to, my mind; nor give, or pay, any attention to him, or it: (Z, TA: [and the like is said in the T:]) or the proper [or literal] meaning is, I will not, or I do not, contend with him for superiority in goodness, or excellence, by reason of my little care, or regard, for him: (Mgh:) or it was employed to denote the contending with another for superiority in glory, or excellence, as will be shown by the citation of a verse in the latter portion of this paragraph; and then, in consequence of frequency of usage, came to denote contempt, or mean estimation: (Ham p. 31:) or its original meaning is, I will not, or I do not, strive with him to be first; neglecting him, or leaving him to himself; from تَبَالَى القَوْمُ as explained below; see 6. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., لَا يُبَالِيهِمُ اللّٰهُ بَالَةً, or, accord. to one reading, لَا يُبَالِى بِهِمْ بَالَةً, meaning God will not hold them to be of any value or weight. (TA.) And in another, هٰؤُلآءِ فِى الجَنَّةِ وَلَا أُبَالِى وَهٰؤُلَآءِ فِى النَّارِ وَلَا أُبَالِى, said to mean [These will be in Paradise, and] I shall not disapprove; [and these will be in the fire of Hell,] and I shall not disapprove. (Az, TA.) And one says, لَا أُبَالِى مَا صَنَعْتَ [I shall not, or I do not, care for what thou didst, or hast done]. (IDrd, TA.) And مَا أُبَالِى أَقُمْتَ

أَمْ قَعَدْتَ [I care not whether thou stand or sit]: and مَا أُبَالِى بِقِيَامِكَ وَعَدَمِهِ [I care not for thy standing and thy not doing so]. (Mughnee in art. ا.) And مَا بَالَيْتُ بِهِ (Az, Msb, TA) I did not care for, mind, or regard, him, or it. (TA.) And بَالَى بِالشَّىْءِ [He cared for the thing; or] he was disquieted by the thing. (T.) The verb is sometimes thus used, in an affirmative manner; (Ham p. 94; [and the like is said in the TA;]) though some say that it is not; (Msb;) but it is not unless it occurs with a negative in the former part of the sentence or in the latter part thereof; as when one says, مَا بَالَى بِكَ صَدِيقُكَ وَلٰكِنْ بَالَى

عَبْدُكَ [Thy friend cared not for thee, but thy slave cared]; and as in the saying of Zuheyr, لَقَدْ بَالَيْتُ مَظْعَنَ أُمِّ أَوْفَى

وَلٰكِنْ أُمُّ أَوْفَى لَا تُبَالِى

[Verily I cared for the departure of Umm-Owfà, but Umm-Owfà cares not]. (Ham p. 94.) One says also, لَمْ أُبَالِ and لَمْ أُبَلْ [I did not care, &c.]: (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K: [but in the CK the latter of these is omitted:]) in the latter the ا [of prolongation] is suppressed for the purpose of alleviating the utterance, like as ى is suppressed in the inf. n. [or quasi-inf. n.] بَالَةٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb,) originally بَالِيَةٌ, (S, Msb,) and in لَا أَدْرِ: (S:) or the ا is suppressed in this case to avoid the concurrence of two quiescent letters; (Kh, Sb, M, IB;) not for the purpose of alleviating the utterance; (IB, TA;) for this is done because the ل is made quiescent. (Kh, Sb, M.) And, accord. to Kh, (Sb, M,) some of the Arabs say, لَمْ أُبَلِهِ [I did not care for him, or it], (Sb, M,) or لَمْ أُبَلِ, [in the CK, erroneously, لم اَبْلِ,] with kesr to the ل; (K, TA;) [for لم أُبَالِهِ, or لم أُبَالِ;] only suppressing the ا, as they do in عُلَبِطٌ [ for عُلَابِطٌ]. (Sb, S, M.) b2: IAar says that بَالَى, inf. n. مُبَالَاةٌ, is like ↓ أَبْلَى meaning He exerted himself in a description of a war, or battle, or of generous conduct; as when one says, أَبْلَى ذٰلِكَ اليَوْمَ بَلَآءً حَسَنًا [He exerted himself well, that day, in a description of war, &c.]: and he cites the following verse [to which reference has been made above]: وَأَنْتَ قَدْمَتَّ مِنَ الهُزَالِ [What hath happened to me that I see thee standing exerting thyself in a description of generous qualities, when thou hast become like one dead by reason of leanness?]: he says that he [the poet] heard him [whom he thus addresses] saying, “We have eaten and we have drunk [with guests], and we have done [such and such things]; ” enumerating, or recounting, generous qualities or actions, and lying in doing so: (T, TA:) in another place he says that تُبَالِى means looking to see which of them [or of thee and others] is best in بال [i. e. state, or condition], while thou art dying: (TA:) he says, also, that بَالَاهُ, inf. n. مُبَالَاةٌ, signifies he contended with him for superiority in glory, or excellence; (T, TA; *) and [it is said that] تبالى in the verse here cited means thus contending; syn. تُفَاخِرُ: (Ham p. 31:) and accord. to IAar, بَالَاهُ also signifies he contended with him in contradiction. (T, TA.) 4 ابلاهُ, inf. n. إِبْلَآءٌ: see 1, in two places. b2: [Hence,] ابلاهُ اللّٰهُ إِبْلَآءً حَسَنًا, (T,) or بَلَآءَ حَسَنًا, (S,) God did to him a good deed. (T.) [and hence,] it is said in the Kur [viii. 17], وَلِيُبْلِىَ المُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْهُ بَلَآءً حَسَنُا (TA) And that He might confer upon the believers a great benefit, or favour, or blessing: (Bd:) or a good gift; meaning spoil. (Jel.) And أَبْلَيْتُهُ مَعْرُوفًا [I conferred upon him a favour, or benefit]. (S.) Zuheyr says, جَزَى اللّٰهُ بِا لإِحْسَانِ مَا فَعَلَا بِكُمْ وَأَبْلَاهُمَا خَيْرَ البَلَآءِ الَّذِى يَبْلُو (T, * S,) meaning, الذى يَبْلُو بِهِ عِبَادَهُ, (T,) or الذى يَخْتَبِرُ بِهِ عِبَادَ, (S,) i. e. [May God recompense with beneficence what they two have done to you,] and do to them two the best of the deeds wherewith He tries [the thankfulness of] his servants. (T.) b3: ابلاهُ also signifies He made him to swear; [as though he tried his veracity by so doing;] (M, K;) or so ابلاهُ يَمِينًا. (TA.) [See also 8.] b4: And He swore to him: (M, K:) or this, (TA,) or ابلاهُ يَمِينًا, [as above,] (T, S,) he swore [or swore an oath] to him, and thereby soothed, or placated, his mind. (T, S, * TA.) b5: And hence, (TA,) He informed him, acquainted him, or told him. (IAar, M, K, TA.) b6: [and hence, He manifested it; revealed it; made it manifest, apparent, evident, clear, or plain; whence a phrase in a verse cited voce مُضْمَرٌ; and the phrase] مَا لَمْ يُبْلِ العُذْرَ, i. e. As long as he does not manifest, show, or make apparent, the excuse: but the verb [in this sense] is originally doubly trans.: one says, أَبْلَيْتُ فُلَانًا عُذْرًا, meaning I manifested to such a one an excuse so that I was not to be blamed after it; properly signifying I made such a one to be acquainted with my excuse, and to know the manner thereof; (Mgh;) and thus it is explained in the A: (TA: [in like manner, also, it is explained in the T:]) [or]

ابلاهُ عُذْرًا signifies He gave him an excuse which he accepted: (M, K:) and in like manner, ابلاهُ جُهْدَهُ [He gave him his endeavour, or energy, in an acceptable manner]; and نَائِلَهُ [his gift]. (M.) Hence, ابلى عُذْرَهُ signifies also He strove, laboured, or exerted himself, [and thus manifested his excuse,] in work. (Mgh.) And hence, ابلى فِى الحَرْبِ He manifested, or showed, his might, valour, or prowess, in war, or fight, [and he strove, laboured, or exerted himself, therein, (عُذْرَهُ being understood,)] so that men proved him and knew him. (Mgh.) See also 3, where another explanation of ابلى is given, in the latter portion of the paragraph.

A2: ابلى الثَّوْبَ [He wore out the garment;] trans. of بَلِىَ; (T, S, M, K;) as also ↓ بَلَّاهُ; (M, K;) belonging to the present art. and to art. بلى. (M.) One says to the مُجِدّ [i. e. him who makes, or puts on, a new garment], أَبْلِ وَ يُخْلِفُ اللّٰهُ [Wear out thy garment, and God will replace it with another; or, may God replace &c.]. (S.) And أَبْلِ وَ أَجِدَّ وَاحْمِدَ الكَاسِى Wear out, and make new, [or put on new,] and praise the Clother [meaning God]. (S in art. جد.) b2: [Hence,] السَّفَرُ ↓ بَلَّاهُ [Journeying, or travel, wore him, or wasted him]; namely, a man; (M, K; but in the copies of the latter, ↓ بَلَاهُ [which I think an evident mistranscription];) as also عَلَيْهِ ↓ بلّى; and ابلاهُ: (M:) and so الهَمُّ [anxiety], (M, K,) and the like, (M,) and التَّجَارِبُ [tryings, or trying events]: (K:) and ابلاها السَّفَرُ (T, S) or ↓ بلّاها (thus in a copy of the S) [journeying, or travel, wore her, or wasted her]; namely, a she-camel. (T, S.) El-'Ajjáj says, وَالمَرْءُ يُبْلِيهِ بَلَآءَ السِّرْبَالْ كَرُّاللَّيالِى وَاخْتِلَافُ الأَحْوَالُ [And man, the returning of the nights time after time, and the alternation of states of being, wear him out as the wearing out of the shirt]: (S, M: *) he means, إِبْلَآءَ السِرْبَال, or فَبَلِىَ بَلَآءَ السِّرْبَال. (M.) And Ibn-Ahmar says, لَبِسْتُ أَبِى حَتَّى تَمَلَّيْتُ عُمْرَهُ وَبَلَّيْتُ أَعْمَامِى وَ بَلَّيْتُ خَالِيَا he means I lived the period that my father lived [so that I had long enjoyment of his life, and I outwore my paternal uncles, and I outwore my maternal uncle]: or, as some say, I lived with my father for the length of his life &c. (M, TA. * [In the latter, ↓ تَبَلَّيْتُ is put in the place of تَمَلَّيْتُ; and hence it is there said that تَبَلَّاهُ is like بَلَّاهُ: but I think that تبلّيت is a mistranscription.]) b3: أَبْلَيْتُ and ↓ بَلَّيْتُ also signify I bound the foreshank of a she-camel to her arm at the grave of her [dead] master, and left her without food or water until she died; or I dug for her a pit, and left her in it until she died. (S, TA. [See بَلِيَّةٌ, and مُبَلًّى.]) 5 تَبَلَّوَ see 4, near the end of the paragraph.6 التَّبَالِى [inf. n. of تَبَالَى]: see 1.

A2: تبالى القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, vied, or strove, one with another, in hastening to a little water, and drew from it. (Msb.) 8 ابتلاهُ: see 1, in three places. [Hence, اُبْتِلِىَ بِكَذَا (vulg. اِبْتَلَى) He was tried, proved, or tested, by, or with, such a thing; generally meaning he was afflicted thereby, or therewith; as, for instance, by, or with, a disease.] b2: Also He asked, or sought, or desired, of him information, or news, or tidings. (M, K.) And ابتلى signifies also He conjured, or adjured, and asked if any had knowledge; syn. اِسْتَحْلَفَ and اِسْتَعْرَفَ [explained by what here follows]. (M, K, TA. [In the CK, both the verb and the explanation are here wrong: the former is written اُبْلِىَ; and the latter, اسْتُحْلِفَ و اسْتُعْرِفَ.]) A poet says, تَبَغَّى أَبَاهَا فِى الرِّفَاقِ وَ تَبْتَلِى

وَ أَوْدَي بِهِ فِى لُجَّةِ البَحْرِ تَمْسَحُ [She seeks for her father among the travellingcompanions, and conjures, or adjures, and asks. if any have knowledge, when a crocodile has destroyed him in the depth of the great river: تَبَغَّى is for تَتَبَغَّى]: he means that she says to them, “I conjure you, or adjure you, by God, (نَاشَدْتُكُمْ اللّٰهَ,) [tell me,] do ye know any tidings of my father? ” (M, TA.) But Aboo-Sa'eed says that تتبلى here means tries, proves, or tests; and that الاِبْتِلَآءُ signifies the trying, proving, or testing, whether by an oath or otherwise. (TA.) b3: [Also He desired it; he sought it.] It is said in a trad., النَّذْرُ مَا ابْتُلِىَ بِهِ وَجْهُ اللّٰهُ, i. e. [The vow that a man makes to be binding, or obligatory, on himself is that whereby the recompense of God] is desired, or sought. (TA.) b4: And He chose him, made choice of him, or elected him. (Sh and T, from a trad.) 12 اِبْلَوْلَى It (herbage) became tall, so that the camels were able to avail themselves of it. (K.) بِلْوُ سَفَرٍ, (T, S, M, A,) with kesr to the ب, (S,) and بِلْىُ سَفَرٍ, (S, A,) Worn, or wasted, by journeying, or travel; applied to a she-camel, (T, S, M, A,) and in like manner to a man, and to a he-camel: (M:) and بِلْىُ أَسْفَارٍ (M, K) and بِلْوُ

أَسْفَارٍ, (K, TA,) with kesr to the ب in both, (TA, [in the CK written with fet-h,]) a man worn, or wasted, by journeyings, or travels, and anxiety, (M, K, *) and the like, (M,) and tryings, or trying events: (K:) pl. أَبْلَآءٌ. (S, M.) And بِلْوٌ شَرٍّ and بِلْىُ شَرٍّ [both written in the CK with fet-h to the ب] A man having strength, or power, to endure evil; tried, proved, or tested, thereby: (M, K:) and in like manner, بِلْوُ خَيْرٍ and بِلْىُ خَيْرٍ

[tried, &c., by good, or prosperity]. (TA.) and إِنَّهُ لِبَلْوٌ مِنْ أَبْلَآءِ المَالِ and بِلْىٌ [both written in the CK with fet-h to the ب as before] Verily he is one of those who manage, or tend, camels, or the like, well. (M, * K, * TA.) The ى in بِلْى, in all these instances, is originally و, changed into ى because of the kesreh, and the weakness of the intervening letter, ل; as is the case in عِلَْيَةٌ: so says IJ. (M.) بَلَى: see art. بلى.

بِلْوَةٌ: see what next follows.

بِلْيَةٌ: see what next follows.

بَلْوَي: see what next follows.

بَلَآءٌ (T, S, Msb) and ↓ بَلْوَى (T, S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ بَلِيَّةٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ بِلْوَةٌ, (S, M, K,) with kesr, (S, K,) and ↓ بِلْيَةٌ, (so in a copy of the S, beside the third,) thus in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà, in the place of the third, (TA,) substs. (T, M, Msb, K) from بَلَاهُ اللّٰهُ, (T, Msb,) or from اِبْتَلَاهُ اللّٰهُ, [which is the same in meaning,] (M,) or from بَلَوْتُهُ, (K,) are one [in their signification; which is A trial, as meaning a probation, or a test; and as meaning particularly a trouble or an affliction of any kind by which one's patience or any other grace or virtue is tried, proved, or tested]; (S;) and the pl. (S, TA) of ↓ بَلِيَّةٌ (TA) is بَلَايَا, of the measure فَعَائِلُ changed to فَعَالَى: (S, TA:) [or] بَلَآءٌ is [properly, or originally,] an inf. n., (S, M, K,) and signifies the act of trying, proving, or testing, by, or with, good, and by, or with, evil: (S, M:) it is evil and good: (T, M: *) a trial, or an affliction, (T, K,) which is its original meaning; (T;) and a [probationary] benefit, favour, or blessing, (T,) or a [probationary] gift; (K;) the former of these requiring patience, and the latter being the greater of the two [as being commonly the more dangerous to the soul]; (TA;) [but the latter meaning is generally indicated only by the addition of an epithet: thus] بَلَآءٌ حَسَنٌ means a great benefit, or favour, or blessing, of God; (Bd in viii. 17;) or a good gift of God: (Jel ibid.:) بَلَآءٌ also means grief; as though it tried the body: (Er-Rághib, K:) and the imposition of a difficult, or troublesome, thing; a requirement; an exaction; because it is difficult, or distressing, to the body; or because it is trying. (K.) بَلَآءِ (like قَطَامِ, S, K) is syn. with البَلَآءُ: (S, M, K:) occurring in the saying, نَزَلَتْ بَلَآءِ عَلَى الكُفَّارِ [Trial, or affliction, befell the unbelievers]: (S, M, * K: *) mentioned by El-Ahmar, as heard by him from the Arabs. (S.) بِلَآءٌ, like كِتَابٌ in form, [is an inf. n. of 3, q. v.: A2: and also signifies] Anxiety respecting which one talks to himself, or soliloquizes. (Msb. [Compare a meaning of بَلَآءٌ, above.]) بَلِىٌّ: see the paragraph next following; last sentence.

A2: Also A she-camel that has her fore shank bound to her arm at the grave of her master, and is left without food until she dies: (T:) or a she-camel, (M in arts. بلو and بلى, and K,) or a mare, or beast of the equine kind, (M in art. بلو,) that is bound at the grave of her master, (M, K,) he being dead, and is left without food or water (M) until she dies (M, K) and wastes away; for they used to say that her master would be raised from the dead upon her: (M:) or a she-camel which, in the Time of Ignorance, had her fore shank bound to her arm at the grave of her master, and was left without food or water until she died: or for which was dug a pit, wherein she was left until she died: for they used to assert that men would be raised from the dead riding upon the بَلَايَا, [pl. of بَلِيَّةٌ in the sense above explained, (T, TA,)] or walking if their beasts whereon they rode were not bound, with the head turned backwards, at their graves: (S:) or a cow, or she-camel, or sheep, or goat, which, in the Time of Ignorance, they used to hamstring, or slaughter, at the grave: so in a trad. (TA.) Suh says that this custom proves that, in the Time of Ignorance, they held the doctrine of the resurrection of the body: but they who held it were the fewer number. (TA.) It is said that بَلِيَّةٌ is originally ↓ مُبْلَاةٌ or ↓ مُبَلَّاةٌ. (TA.) Et-Tirimmáh says, مَنَازِلُ لَا تَرَى الأَنْصَابَ فِيهَا وَلَا حُفَرَ المُبَلَّى لِلْمَنُونِ [Places of abode in which thou wilt not see the stones, or other things, that have been set up to be worshipped, nor the pits of the beast left by the grave of the master to die]; meaning places of abode of the people of El-Islám, exclusively of the pagans. (S.) IAar says that ↓ بَلِىٌّ and بَلِيَّةٌ signify Such as is wearied, or jaded, and emaciated, and dying. (TA.) بَالٍ [act. part. n. of بَلَاهُ; Trying, proving, or testing. b2: And hence,] Knowing, or being acquainted [with a thing]; as in the phrase, جَعَلْتُهُ بَالِيًا بِعُذْرِى I made him to be acquainted with my excuse, and to know the manner thereof. (Mgh.) A2: Also Old, and wearing out [or worn out]; applied to a garment. (Msb.) b2: [Hence,] بَالِيَاتٌ is used as meaning The places of tents. (Ham p. 492.) مُبْلَاةٌ, fem. of مُبَلًى: see بَلِيَّةٌ.

مُبَلِّيَاتُ Women that stand around a man's riding-camel [which they bind, or place in a pit, by his grave, to die of hunger and thirst,] when he has died or been slain, wailing for him. (T, S. *) You say, قَامَتْ مُبَلِّيَاتُ فُلَانٍ يَنُحْنَ عَلَيْهِ [The women that bound, or placed, the بَلِيَّة by the grave of such a one stood around it wailing for him]. (T, S.)

الرَّأي مَخْلُوجَةٌ ولَيس بسُلْكَى أَي ليسَ بمُستَقِيمٍ، وأَمْرُهُم سُلْكَى: على طَرِيقَةٍ واحِدَةٍ، نَقله ابنُ السِّكِّيتِ. والسُّلَكُ كصُرَدٍ: فَرِخُ القَطا، أَو فَرخُ الحَجَلِ، وَهِي سُلَكةٌ كصُرَدَةٍ وسِلْكانَةٌ، بالكَسر وَهِي قَلِيلَةٌ سِلْكانٌ بِالْكَسْرِ، كصُرَدٍ وصردانٍ، وأنشَدَ اللّيثُ: تَضِلُّ بِهِ الكُدْرُ سِلْكانَها وسُلَيكٌ، كزُبَير: ابنُ عَمْرو، أَو هُوَ ابنُ هُدْبَةَ الغَطَفاني: صَحابِيٌ رَضِي الله تعالَى عَنهُ، يأْتيِ ذكره فِي حَدِيث أبي هُرَيْرَةَ وجابِرٍ وَأبي سَعِيدٍ وأَنَس بنِ مالِكٍ رَضِي اللَّهُ تَعالَى عَنْهُم. وسُلَيكُ بنُ يَثْرِبي بنِ سِنان بنِ عُمَيرِ بنِ الحارِثِ، وَهُوَ مُقاعسُ بنِ عَمْرِو بنِ كَعْب بنِ سَعْدِ بنِ زَيْدِ مَنَاةَ بنِ تَمِيمِ بنِ سُلًكَةَ، كهُمَزَةٍ، وَهِي أُُّمه، وَلذَا قِيلَ لَهُ: ابنُ السلَكَة: شاعِرٌ لِصٌّ فَتّاكٌ عَدَّاءٌ يُقال: أَعْدَى مِنْ سُلَيك ويُقالُ لَه: سُلَيكُ المَقانب، وأَنْشَدَ الْجَوْهَرِي لأَنسِ بنِ مُدْرِكٍ:
(لَخُطّابُ لَيلَى يالَ بُرثُنَ مِنْكُمُ ... على الهَوْلِ أَمْضَى مِنْ سُلَيك المَقانِب) وأَخْبارُه مَشْهُورَةٌ، نَقَلَ بعضَها الشَّرِيشيُ فِي شَرحِ المَقاماتِ، والثَّعالِبِيُ فِي المُضافِ. وسُلَيكٌ العُقَيلِيُ، وشَقِيقُ بنُ سُلَيك الأَزْدِيُّ: شاعرانِ كَمَا فِي العُباب. وسُليكُ بنُ مسحَلٍ يَروي عَن ابنِ عُمَر، وَعنهُ أَبُو مالِكٍ سَعْدُ بنُ طارِقٍ، وَفِي كتاب ابْن حِبّان: سُلَيمُ بنُ مِسحَل بِالْمِيم لأَنه ذَكَره فِي عِدادِهِم فتأَمّلْ ذَلِك. والأَغَرّ بنُ حَنْظَلَةَ بنِ سُليكٍ السُّلَيكِي: تابِعِيّان هَكَذَا فِي سَائِر النّسَخِ، وِالصواب كَمَا فِي كتاب الثِّقاتِ، الأغَرُّ بنُ سُليكٍ الكُوفِيُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُقالُ لَهُ: أَغَرُّ بني حَنْظَلَةَ، يَروِي المَراسِيلَ، ورَوَى عَنهُ سِماكُ بنُ حَربٍ، فتأَمّلْ ذَلِك. والمُسَلَّكُ كمُعَظّمٍ: النَّحِيفُ يُقال: رجلٌ مُسَلَّكٌ: أَي نَحِيفُ الجِسمِ وَكَذَلِكَ فَرَسٌ مُسَلَّكٌ عَن ابنِ دُرَيْدٍ. والسَّلَكُوتُ، كجَبَرُوتٍ: طائِرٌ. والمسلَكَةُ، كمَقْعَدَة: طُرَّةٌ تُشَقُّ من ناحِيَةِ الثَّوْبِ سُمِّيت بِهِ لامْتِدادِها، وَهِي كالسِّلْكِ. وقالَ ابنُ عَبّاد: السِّلْكُ، بالكَسرِ: أَوَّلُ مَا تَتَفَطَّرُ بِهِ النّاقَةُ، ثمّ بعدَه اللِّبَأ. قَالَ الصّاغانيُ: والتَّركِيبُ يَدُلُّ على نَفاذِ شَيءٍ فِي شَيء. وَقد شَذٌ عَن هَذَا التَّركِيبِ السّلَكَةُ: الأنْثَى من وَلَد الحَجَلِ.
وَمِمَّا يسْتَدرك عَلَيْهِ: الانْسِلاكُ: مُطاوِعُ سَلَكَه فيهِ، أَي: أَدْخَلَه. وأَنْشَدَ الْجَوْهَرِي لزُهَيرٍ: تَعَلَّمَنْ هالَعَمْرُ اللَّهِذَا قَسَمًاواقْصِدْ بذَرْعِكَ وانْظُر أَيْنَ تَنْسَلِكُ والمَسلَكُ: الطَّرِيقُ، والجَمْعُ المَسالِكُ. وقولُ قَيسِ بنِ عَيزارَةَ:
(غَداةَ تَنادَوْا ثُمَّ قامُوا فأَجْمَعُوا ... بِقَتْليَ سُلْكَى لَيسَ فِيها تَنازُعُ) فإِنه أرادَ عَزِيمَةً قَويَّةً لَا تَنازُعَ فِيهَا. وأَبو نائِلَةَ سِلْكانُ بنُ سَلامَةَ بنِ وَقْشٍ الأَشْهَلي: صحابِي اسمُه سَعْدٌ، وَهُوَ أَخو كَعْبِ بن الأَشْرَفِ من الرَّضاعِ. وسِلْكانُ بن مالِكٍ ممنْ دَخَلَ مِصْرَ من الصَّحابَةِ، اسْتَدْرَكَه ابنُ الدَّبّاغِ. وقالَ أَبُو) عَمْرو: إِنَّه لمُسًلّكُ الذَّكَرِ، ومُسَمْلَكُ الذَّكَرِ: إِذا كانَ حَدِيدَ الرَأسِ. وسَلَّكَه تسلِيكاً: أَسْلَكَه. وسَلَكَى، كجَمَزَى: قَريَةٌ بمِصْرَ فِي الغَربيَّةِ، وَقد دَخَلْتُها. وَمن المَجازِ: خُذْ فِي مَسالِكِ الحَقِّ. وَهَذَا الكلامُ رَقِيقُ السِّلْكِ، خَفِي المَسلَكِ.
