قَرْــنٌ:
بالفتح ثم السكون، وآخره نون، ومعناه يأتي في اللغة على معان: الــقرن الجبل الصغير، والــقرن قرن الشاة والبــقر وغيرهما، والــقرن من الناس، قال الله تعالى: أَلَمْ يَرَوْا كَمْ أَهْلَكْنا من قَبْلِهِمْ من قَرْــنٍ 6: 6، قال الزّجاجي: الــقرن ثمانون سنة، وقيل سبعون، وقال أبو منصور: والذي يقع عندي، والله أعلم، أن الــقرن أهل كلّ مدة كان فيها نبي أو كان فيها طبقة من أهل العلم قلّت السنون أو كثرت، والدليل على ذلك قوله، عليه الصلاة والسلام: خير الــقرون قرني، يعني أصحابي، ثم الذين يلونهم ثم الذين يلونهم، يعني التابعين وتابعي التابعين، وكأنه مشتقّ من الاقتران، والــقرن: السّنّ، يقال: هو على قرنه، والــقرن كالعفلة للمرأة، والــقرن: الدّفعة من العرق، والــقرن: الخصلة من الشّعر، والــقرن: جمعك بين دابّتين في حبل، والــقرن: أحد قرني البئر وهو ما بني فعرض ليجعل عليه خشبة توضع عليها البكرة، وقال ابن الحائك: قرن باليمن سبعة أودية كبار، منها: الماذنة والغولة والجحلة ومهار وذو دوم وذو خيشان وذو عسب كلها أخلاط من مراد، والــقرن:
الحجر الأملس النقيّ الذي لا أثر عليه، والــقرن: المرة، يقال: أتيته قرنا أو قرنين أي مرّة أو مرّتين، والــقرن، قال الأصمعي: جبل مطلّ بعرفات، وقال الغوري: هو ميقات أهل اليمن والطائف يقال له قرن المنازل، قال عمر بن أبي ربيعة:
ألم تسأل الرّبع أن ينطقا ... بــقرن المنازل قد أخلقا؟
وقال القاضي عياض: قرن المنازل وهو قرن الثعالب، بسكون الراء: ميقات أهل نجد تلقاء مكة على يوم وليلة، وهو قرن أيضا غير مضاف وأصله الجبل الصغير المستطيل المنقطع عن الجبل الكبير، ورواه بعضهم بفتح الراء، وهو غلط إنما قرن قبيلة من اليمن، وفي تعليق عن القابسي: من قال قرن، بالإسكان، أراد الجبل المشرف على الموضع، ومن قال قرن، بالفتح، أراد الطريق الذي يفترق منه فإنه موضع فيه طرق مختلفة مفترقة، وقال الحسن بن محمد المهلبي قرن قرية بينها وبين مكة أحد وخمسون ميلا وهي ميقات أهل اليمن، بينها وبين الطائف ذات اليمين ستة وثلاثون ميلا. وقرن البوباة: واد يجيء من السّراة لسعد ابن بكر ولبعض قريش وبه منبر، وفيه يقول الشاعر:
لا تقمرنّ على قرن وليلته، ... لا إن رضيت ولا إن كنت مغتصبا
وقرن معيّة: من مخاليف الطائف ذكره في الفتوح، وقيل: قرن واد بين البوباة والمناقب وهو جبل.
وقرن ظبي: ماء فوق السعدية، وقيل: جبل لبني أسد بنجد، قال ابن مقبل:
أقول وقد سندن بــقرن ظبي: ... بأيّ مراء منحدر تماري؟
فلست كما يقول القوم إن لم ... تجامع دارهم بدمشق داري
وقرن غزال: ثنية معروفة، قال الشاعر:
لبئس مناخ الضيف يلتمس الــقرى ... إذا نزلوا بالــقرن بدر وضمضم
وهل يكرم الأضياف إن نزلوا به، ... إذا نزلوا، أشغى لئيم وأجذم
وقرن الذّهاب: موضع آخر في قول أبي دواد الكلبي:
لمن طلل كعنوان الكتاب ... ببطن أواق أو قرن الذّهاب؟
وقرن: جبل بإفريقية له ذكر في الفتوح، وقرن عشار: حصن باليمن، وقرن بقل: حصن باليمن أيضا، وقال أبو عبيد الله السكوني: قرن قرية بين فلج وبين مهب الجنوب من أرض اليمامة فيها نخل وأطواء وليس وراءها من قرى اليمامة ولا مياهها شيء وهي لبني قشير وليست من العارض، وإياها عنى ابن مقبل بقوله:
وافى الخيال، وما وافاك من أثم، ... من أهل قرن وأهل الضّيق من حرم
من أهل قرن فما اخضلّ العشاء له ... حتى تنوّر بالزّوراء من خيم
ومقصّ قرن مطلّ على عرفات، عن الأصمعي وأنشد:
وأصبح عهدها بمقصّ قرن ... فلا عين تحسّ ولا أثار
وقرن باعر: باليمن حصن، والــقرن أيضا: قرية من نواحي بغداد بين قطربّل والمزرفة، ينسب إليها خالد بن يزيد الــقرني، ويقال ابن أبي يزيد، يروي عن شعبة وحمّاد بن يزيد، يروي عنه محمد بن إسحاق الصاغاني وعباس الدوري وغيرهما، ولم يكن به بأس.

(K, TA.) and He dug a well to draw forth the water. (TA.) b2: And فَــقْرٌ signifies The boring, or perforating, of beads for the purpose of stringing; (K;) [as also تَفْقِيرٌ; for one says] ↓ فَــقَّرْــتُ [as well as فَــقَرْــتُ], meaning I bored, or perforated, beads. (S.) b3: And The act of cleaving, slitting, or rending. (O.)

(Aboo-Ziyád, L.) [The incision above mentioned is termed ↓ فُــقْرَــةٌ. b5: Hence, app., by a tropical usage, فَــقَرَ signifies (assumed tropical:) He stigmatized a man: Freytag has mentioned it as occurring in the Deewán of the Hudhalees, and meaning “ satyra perstrinxit eius vitia commemorans aliquem. ”]

A2: [فَــقَرَــهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فَــقْرٌ, He, or it, broke the فَقَار (or vertebræ) of his back. b2: Hence the phrase,] فَــقَرَــتْهُ الفَافــقِرَــةُ, (S, O,) or الدَّاهِيَةُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فَــقْرٌ, (Msb,) [lit.] The calamity broke the vertebræ of his back: (S, O:) [meaning] the calamity befell him.

(S, K, TA.) b3: And فُــقِّرَ, said of anything, It was incised, or notched; and impressed, or marked. (TA.) b4: Lth has erroneously assigned to تَفْقِيرٌ, a meaning belonging to تَقْفِيزٌ, q. v. (TA.) 4 افــقر He (a colt) became fit for riding upon his فَقَار [or vertebræ]; like أَرْكَبَ: (O:) or he (a colt, Msb), or it (the back of a colt, L), became [strong in the vertebræ and] fit for being ridden. (L, Msb.) A2: افــقرهُ نَاقَتَهُ, (S, O,) or بَعِيرَهُ, (ISk, K,) or ظَهْرَ بَعِيرِهِ, (TA,) or بَعِيرًا, (Mgh,) or دَابَّتَهُ, (A 'Obeyd, TA,) or المُهْرَ, (Msb,) He lent him the vertebræ [meaning the back] of his she-camel, that he might ride thereon: (S, O:) and he lent him the back of his camel (ISk, K, TA) during a journey, (ISk, TA) for carrying a burden, and for riding, (ISk, K, TA,) to be returned afterwards: (ISk, TA:) and he lent him a camel, that he might ride thereon; from فَقَار signifying the “ vertebræ ” of the back: (Mgh:) and he lent him his beast to ride as long as he pleased during a journey and then to return it to him: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) and he lent him the colt to ride upon its vertebræ [or back]. (Msb.) b2: Hence, افــقرهُ أَرْضَهُ (tropical:) He lent him his land for sowing. (TA, from a trad.) b3: أَفْــقَرَــكَ الصَّيْدُ means The object of the chase has enabled thee to have its vertebræ within thy power; therefore shoot it, or shoot at it: (O, TA:) or has enabled thee to have its side [which is sometimes termed فُــقْر] within thy power: (K:) or has become near to thee.

The object of the chase has enabled the shooter at it to have its vertebræ within his power after Meslemeh; meaning that, since the death of his paternal uncle Meslemeh, the territory of the Muslims had become assailable to him who might attempt it. (TA.) A3: افــقرهُ also signifies He (i. e. God, S, O, K, or a man, Msb) rendered him فَقِير [meaning poor, or needy, &c.]. (S, O, Msb, K.) A4: مَا أَفْــقَرَــهُ [i. e. How poor, or needy, &c., is he!] and مَا أَغْنَاهُ [which has the contr. meaning] are [said to be] anomalous; for their [respective primitive] verbs are اِفْتَــقَرَ and اِسْتَغْنَى, from either of which the verb of wonder is not properly [or regularly] formed. (S, O. [But see 8.]) 5 ظَهَرَ قَبْلَنَا نَاسٌ يَتَفَــقَّرُــونَ العِلْمَ, occurring in a trad., as some relate it, means [There appeared before us men] eliciting what was recondite, or obscure, of knowledge, and opening what was closed thereof; from فَــقَرْــتُ البِئْرَ meaning “ I dug the well to draw forth the water: ” but the reading commonly known is [يَتَقَفَّرُونَ, q. v.,] with the ق before the ف.

(K * and TA in art. بأس.) 8 افتــقر He clave, slit, or rent; and opened: [see also 1, fourth sentence:] hence its usage in a trad. of 'Omar, in which, after his saying that Imra-el-Keys was the foremost of the poets, and had made the source of poetry to well forth abundantly to them, [see خَسَفَ,] he is related to have added, وَافْتَــقَرَ عَنْ مَعانٍ عُورٍأَصَحَّ بَصَرٍ: in saying this, he attributed a sound and an opened sight to the poetry, [which he thus personified,] and in like manner he described obscure and occult meanings by applying to them the epithet عُور [generally meaning “ blind of one eye ”]: he meant that Imra-el-Keys had made the meanings of poetry clear and perspicuous, and unveiled them, and shunned substitution and obscure diction: عَنْ with what is [to be understood as] antecedently connected with it occupies the place of a noun in the accus. case as a denotative of state: it is as though he said, فَتَحَ لِلشِّعْرِأَصَحَّ بَصَرٍ مُجَاوِزًا لِلْمَعَانِى العُورِمُتَخَطِيًا لَهَا [lit. He opened, to poetry, a most sound vision, passing over half-blind meanings]. (O.)

(Sb, TA.) b2: And one says, افتــقر إِلَيْهِ He, or it, wanted, needed, or required, him, or it; [a phrase of frequent occurrence; like فَقِيرٌ إِلَيْهِ;] i. q. اِحْتَاجَ اليه. (TA in art. حوج.) 10 استفــقر بَعِيرًا [He borrowed, or asked for the loan of, the back of a camel, for carrying a burden or for riding]. (See أَرْمَلُ.) فَــقْرٌ and ↓ فُــقْرٌ signify the same, (S, O, Msb, K,) but the latter is bad, (Lth, TA,) and sometimes they said ↓ فُــقُرٌ, (MF, TA,) Poverty, want, or need; contr. of غِنًى: (K:) or the state of a man when he has [only] what suffices for his household, or those who dwell with him and whose maintenance is incumbent on him: (ISd, K:) [other meanings are indicated by explanations of the epithet فَقِيرٌ, q. v.:] ↓ مَفاَــقِرُ [signifying needs, or wants,] is said by some to be a pl. of فَــقرٌ, anomalous, like مَشَابِهُ [pl. of شَبَهٌ] and مَلَامِحُ [pl. of لَمْحَةٌ]: or it may be a pl. of ↓ مُفْــقَرٌ, an inf. n. of أَفْــقَرَــهُ; or pl. of ↓ مُفْــقِرٌ; or it has no sing.: (TA:) you say, ↓ سَدَّ اللّٰهُ مَفَاقِرَــهُ God rendered him, or may God render him, free from want; (S, Msb, K;) [lit.] God supplied, or may God supply, his various needs, or wants. (S, K.) b2: And فَــقْرٌ signifies also Anxiety; or disquietude, or trouble, of mind: pl. فُقُورٌ: (O, K, TA:) one says, شَكَى إِلَيْهِ فُقُورَهُ He complained to him of his anxieties; &c.: and it means also, his circumstances, and wants: (TA:) [for,] accord. to IAar, the phrase فُقُورُ النَّفْسِ is like شُقُورُهَا. (O.) A2: See also فَــقْرَــةٌ.

فُــقْرٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

A2: Also The side: pl. فُــقَرٌ, (K, TA,) which is extr. [in respect of analogy]: mentioned by Kr. (TA.) [See أَفْــقَرَــكَ الصَّيْدُ.]

A2: Accord. to the K, it signifies also A certain plant; and its pl. [or rather the coll. gen. n.] is ↓ فَــقْرٌ: but the sing. [or n. un.] is correctly ↓ فَــقُرَــةٌ, with fet-h and then damm, mentioned by Sb as a word of a rare form, of which the pl. [or coll. gen. n.] is ↓ فَــقُرٌ, as it has no broken pl.; and expl. by Th. (TA.) فُــقْرَــةٌ A hollow dug in the ground: pl. فُــقَرٌ. (O, K, TA.) b2: And The [incision termed] قُرْــمَة (IAar, O, TA) that is made in the nose [or muzzle] (IAar, O) of the camel, (IAar, O, TA,) [in order to render him tractable, (see 1, near the beginning,)] after which [if necessary] another is made, [above it,] and then another, until he becomes gentle: (IAar, O:) pl. [of pauc. أَفْــقُرٌ, occurring in the L, evidently as a pl. of فُــقْرَــةٌ in this sense, and, of mult., but also used as a pl. of pauc.,] فُــقَرٌ. (O, TA.) Hence the saying of 'Aacute;ïsheh, in relation to [the murder of] 'Othmán, [app. alluding to its involving three violations, namely, the violation of the sacredness of the city in which it was perpetrated and of the month in which it occurred and of the person of the Khaleefeh,] بَلَغْتُمْ مِنْهُ الفُــقَرَ الثَّلَاثَ, meaning (tropical:) Ye have done to him the like of your deed to the camel above mentioned [upon which ye have inflicted the three فُــقَر]: thus expl. by Az. (TA.) Accord. to AHeyth, فُــقَرٌ means (assumed tropical:) Great, or grievous, or formidable, events. (O.) And the three فُــقَرَــات of the son of Adam are said to be (assumed tropical:) The day of birth and the day of death and the day of resurrection. (O.) b3: Also The part, of a shirt, that is the place into which the head is inserted. (K.) A2: Also Nearness. (K.) And one says, هُوَ مِنِّى فُــقْرَــةً, meaning He is near to me. (K, * TA.) A3: See also مُفْــقِرٌ.

فِــقْرَــةٌ: see فَقَارٌ. b2: [Hence] الفِــقَرَــاتُ is a name of (assumed tropical:) The star [or stars] in the خَرَزَات [meaning joints of the tail] of Scorpio. (Kzw in his descr. of Scorpio.) And فِــقَرٌ signifies (assumed tropical:) Certain ornaments, moulded, or fashioned, in the form of the vertebra of the back: (A, KT, TA, and Har p. 34:) one of which is termed فِــقْرَــةٌ. (Har ibid.) b3: and hence, (KT,) or as being likened to a vertebra of the back, (S, O, KT,) (tropical:) The best verse in an ode is termed فِــقْرَــةٌ. (S, O, K, KT.) b4: and hence, as being likened to the best verse in an ode, فِــقْرَــهٌ means (tropical:) (tropical:) Any choice phrase or sentence: (KT:) one says, مَا أَحْسَنَ فِــقَرَ كَلَامِهِ i. e. [How beautiful are] the points, or points of wit, (سُكَت [pl. of نُكْتَةٌ]) of his speech, or language! (A, TA.) b5: And in like manner it is applied to signify (assumed tropical:) The end [or final word] of every verse of an ode and [of every clause] of a خُطْبَة [which is in rhyming prose]. (Msb.) b6: And (assumed tropical:) [A pair of clauses of rhyming prose, both ending with the same rhyme; i. e.] the فِــقْرَــة is that which in [rhyming] prose is like the verse in poetry.

(K.) فَقَارٌ The vertebra of the back; (S, * Msb, K;) the bones of the spine, which are set in regular order, one upon another, from the part where is the كَاهِل to the عَجْب: (K, * TA:) [it is sometimes used as a sing., as in the S and O and K voce طَبَقٌ: but properly] the sing., (Msb, K,) or n. un., (S, TA,) is ↓ فَقَارَةٌ, (S, Msb, K,) for which one should not say فِقَارَةٌ, with kesr: (ISk, Msb:) and ↓ فِــقْرَــةٌ, of which the pl. is فِــقَرٌ and فِــقْرَــاتٌ and فِــقَرَــاتٌ and فِــقِرَــاتٌ, signifies the same as فَقَارَةٌ; (S, Msb, K:) as does also ↓ فَــقْرَــةٌ. (K.) b2: [Hence,] فَقَارُ الجَوْزَآءِ (assumed tropical:) The three very bright stars [d and e and z] disposed obliquely in the midst of the constellation الجوزآء [i. e. Orion]. (Har p. 456. [See art. جوز.) b3: And [hence also,] ذُو الفَقَارِ (assumed tropical:) the name of A [celebrated] sword of the Prophet, (S, O, K,) and afterwards, of 'Alee: it had previously belonged to El-'As Ibn-Munebbih, who was slain at Bedr, (O, K,) by 'Alee, by whom his sword was given to the Apostle: (O:) accord. to Abu-l-'Abbás [i. e. Th]. it was thus named because there were in it small beautiful hollows [app. meaning small scallops in the edge, such as some modern swords have, for the more easy cleaving of coats of mail]: it is also, accord. to some, called ذو الفِقَار; but this is said by El-Khattábee to be vulgar. (TA.) b4: It (i. e. ذُوالفَقَارِ) is also used, metaphorically, as meaning (tropical:) The spear. (TA.) فَقِيرٌ A hollow that is dug around the shoot, or offset, of a palm-tree, when it is planted: (S, O:) or a well [or the like thereof] in which the shoot, or offset, of a palm-tree is planted, (K, TA,) then alluvial soil with dung of camels or the like is pressed down around it: (TA:) pl. فُــقُرٌ, with two dammehs: (K, TA:) or this [app. the pl., but accord. to the TA the sing.,] signifies wells, (K, TA,) three, and more, together, (TA,) or communicating, one with another. (K, TA.) The sing. signifies also A well: (Mgh, O:) or an old well: (O:) or a well having little water: (TA:) pl. as above. (Mgh.) b2: And A plain, or soft, place, in which wells are dug forming a regular series. (O, K,) And رَكِيَّةٌ فَقِيرَةٌ signifies A dug well. (TA.)

(IAth, TA.) A2: As an epithet applied to a camel, it means Having an incision [or two incisions or three] made in his nose [or muzzle] in the manner explained in the first paragraph of this art.; and so ↓ مَفْقُورٌ. (K, TA.) A3: Also, applied to a man, (TA,) Having the vertebræ of the back broken; (S, O, K, * TA;) and so ↓ فَــقِرٌ and ↓ مَفْقُورٌ: (K:) or having a complaint of the vertebræ of his back, arising from fracture or from disease: (Msb:) or having his vertebræ pulled out from his back, so that his spine is interrupted: (T, L:) and ↓ فَــقِرٌ, a man having a complaint of his vertebræ: (S, O, TA:) and فقير and ↓ مَفْقُورٌ, a man afflicted [lit. having the vertebræ of his back broken] by a calamity. (Msb.) A4: Hence, as though having the vertebræ of his back broken, (IDrst, TA in art. جبر,) [but said to be irregularly formed from اِفْتَــقَرَ, like مَا أَفْــقَرَــهُ, q. v.,] Poor: or needy; contr. of غَنِىٌّ; (as implied in the K;) having [only] what suffices for his household, or those who dwell with him and whose maintenance is incumbent an him: (ISd, K:) or one who finds food sufficient to sustain life: (K:) or one who possesses only what is sufficient for life: (ISk, S, K: *) or one whose property is, or has become, little: further expl. in art. سكن: (Msb:) or one who has what to eat; (Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà;) differing from مِسْكِينٌ, which signifies one who possesses nothing; altogether destitute: (Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà, ISk, S, O, K:) or both mean destitute, i. e. possessing nothing: (IAar, S, O:) Aboo-Haneefeh holds the opinion of ISk, (TA,) who cites the following verse from a poem of Er-Rá'ee in praise of 'Abd-El-Melik Ibn-Marwán; أَمَّا الفَقِيرُ الَّذِى كَانَتْ حَلُوبَتُهُ وَفْقَ العِيَالِ فَلَمْ يُتْرَكْ لَهُ سَبَدُ

[As to the فقير whose milch camel was sufficient for his household, and nothing (more) was left to him:] (S, O, TA:) As says that the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير: and Yoo says that the فقير is better in condition than the مسكين; and adds, I asked an Arab of the desert, Art thou فقير? and he answered, No, by God, but rather مسكين: (S, O, TA:) or the former signifies needy, needing, or wanting; a needer; and the latter, one abased by need or want, or otherwise; (Ibn-'Arafeh, O, K;) who, if abased by need or want, may lawfully receive of the poor-rate; but if abased otherwise than by need or want, he may not receive of the poorrate; for he may be rich: (Ibn-'Arafeh:) [الفَقِيرُ

إِلَى اللّٰهِ the needer of God, i. e., of God's help, &c., and الفَقِيرُ إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللّٰهِ the needer of the mercy of God, are epithets which a man often writes before his name:] it is said in the Kur [xxxv. 16], أَنْتُمُ الفُــقَرَــآءُ إِلَى اللّٰهِ وَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْغَنِىُّ الْحَمِيدُ, which is explained as meaning Ye are the needers, or they who stand in need, of God: [and God, He is the Self-sufficient, the Praised in every case:] (O, * TA: [see also the Kur xxviii. 24:]) or فقير signifies one who is crippled, or deprived of the power of motion, by disease, or who suffers from a protracted disease, being weak, and who has no trade; and one who has a mean trade that does not suffice for his need; and مسكين, a beggar, who has a trade that stands in some stead, (حِرْفَةٌ تَقَعُ مَوْقِعًا,) but does not cause him and his household to be without want; (Esh-Sháfi'ee, T, O, K;) so that the former is in a harder condition than the latter accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee; (T;) and it seems that he is called فقير because of crippleness, or protracted disease, which prevents his freely employing himself in making gain: (Khálid Ibn-Yezeed:) As also says that the latter is in a better condition than the former; (S, O, K;) and so says Ahmad Ibn-'Obeyd: (TA:) and as to the verse of Er-Rá'ee, cited above, it is said to mean that the person there mentioned had a milch camel in former times, but possessed it no longer, and that لَمْ يُتْرَكْ لَهُ سَبَد means that nothing was left to him: (Mgh:) the pl. of the latter epithet is also applied in the Kur xviii. 78 to men possessing a ship, or boat, which is worth a considerable sum; (Mgh;) whence Aboo-Bekr holds the opinion of As to be correct: (TA:) but it is urged in reply, that these men were hirers, not owners, of the vessel, as appears from one reading, [app. يُعَمَّلُونَ for يَعْمَلُونَ,] with teshdeed: (TA:) or the former signifies one who has neither property nor gain that suffices for his need; and the latter, one who has property or gain not sufficient for him: or, as some say, the converse is the truth: (Bd in ix. 60:) or both signify the same, (IAar, S, K,) one who possesses nothing: (IAar, S:) or when they are used together, they differ in signification; and when used separately, they both [sometimes] signify the same: (El-Bedr El-Karáfee:) [see more voce مِسْكِينٌ:] fem. with ة: (Msb, K:) pl. masc. فُــقَرَــآءُ; (Msb, K;) pl. fem. فَقَائِرُ, (K,) and فُــقَرَــآءُ (Lh, Msb, TA) like the masc., [said to be] the only instance of the kind except سُفَهَآءُ as pl. of سَفِيهَةٌ; (Msb;) [though فُقَهَآءُ, and perhaps some other instances, should be added;] but ISd says, I know not how this is. (TA.) فَقَارَةٌ: see فَقَارٌ.

فَيْــقَرٌ: see the next paragraph.

فَاقِرَــةٌ [An act that breaks, or will break, the vertebræ of the back: and hence,] (assumed tropical:) a calamity, or misfortune; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ فَيْــقَرٌ: (S, O, K:) or, accord. to Lth and others, such as breaks the vertebræ of the back: (TA:) pl. فَوَاقِرُ. (Har p. 399.) عَمِلَ بِهِ الفَاقِرَــةَ is a prov., meaning He did to him an act breaking, or that would break, his vertebræ; or a calamity, or misfortune, as in the Kur lxxv. 25: (Meyd:) [or, accord. to J, it app. means he did to him that which would render him tractable; for he says,] it is from the phrase فَــقَرْــتُ أَنْفَ البَعِيرِ. (S. [This phrase in the S has been strangely misunderstood by Golius; who has consequently, after mentioning the meaning “ infortunium,” added “ et Habena seu capistrum, de quo in Conj. 1. ”]) b2: And [hence] الفَاقِرَــةُ signifies (assumed tropical:) The resurrection. (TA.) أَفْــقَرُ [More, and most, poor or needy &c.: said to be formed irregularly from اِفْتَــقَرَ, not from an unaugmented form of the verb; like مَا أَفْــقَرَــهُ]. (See Ham pp. 573-4.) مُفْــقَرٌ: see فَــقْرٌ.

مُفْــقِرٌ, applied to a man, (O, TA,) Strong (O, K, TA) in the vertebræ of the back; (TA;) and thus ↓ مُفَــقَّرٌ, applied to a camel; and [in like manner] ↓ ذُوفُــقْرَــةٍ, so applied, strong to be ridden: (O, TA:) and مُفْــقِرٌ signifies also strong in the back; applied to a colt: (TA:) and, thus applied, that has attained to the time when he may be ridden. (K.) b2: And [hence] one says, إِنَّهُ لَمُفْــقِرٌ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ (assumed tropical:) Verily he is equal to this affair, possessing firmness of mind, or strength, or power, for it; (ISh, O, L, K;) and لهذا العَزْمِ for this determination, or resolution; and لهذا الــقِرْــنِ for this adversary, or opponent. (L.) And ↓ رَجُلٌ مُفَــقَّرٌ (assumed tropical:) A man sufficient for everything that he is ordered to do; (O, K, TA;) as thought by reason of the strength of his vertebræ. (TA.) A2: See also فَــقْرٌ.

مُفَــقَّرٌ A sword having notches, or indentations, in its مَتْن [q. v.], (S, K,) forming depressions therein. (K.) A2: See also مُفْــقِرٌ, in two places.

مَفْقُورٌ: see فَقِيرٌ, in three places.

مَفَاقِرُ: see فَــقْرٌ, in two places.

أَرْضٌ مُتَفَــقِّرَــةٌ Land in which are many فُــقَر, meaning hollows. (O, K.) مُتَفَاقِرٌ A man asserting himself to be in a state of فَــقْر [i. e. poverty, or need, &c.]. (A, TA.)

(of the former verb, Msb) قُرْــبٌ, (Msb, K,) or قُرْــبٌ and قُرْــبَةٌ &c. as above, (Msb,) or قُرْــبٌ and مَــقْرَــبَةٌ and مَــقْرُــبَةٌ; (MA;) and (of the latter verb, S, MA, O) قِرْــبَانٌ (S, MA, O, K) and قُرْــبَانٌ; (K;) he (a man, S, O) was, or became, near to it; (S, A, MA, O, K;) syn. دَنَا: (S, A, O, K:) or the former verb means thus; but when one says لَا تَــقْرَــبْ كَذَا with fet-h to the ر, the meaning is, occupy not thyself with doing such a thing: (MF, TA, &c.:) or قَرِــبْتُ الأَمْرَ, aor. ـَ and قَرَــبْتُهُ, aor. ـُ i. e., like تَعِبَ and like قَتَلَ, inf. n. قِرْــبَانٌ, signifies I did the thing, or affair; or I was, or became, near, or I approached, to it, or to doing it [or to doing something with it or to it]: an ex. of the former meaning is the saying [in the Kur xvii. 34], لَا تَــقْرَــبُوا الزِّنَا [Commit not ye fornication, or adultery; or, accord. to some, this is an ex. of the latter meaning]; and hence one says, قَرِــبْتُ المَرْأَةَ, inf. n. قِرْــبَانٌ, a metonymical phrase, meaning I compressed the woman: and an ex. of the latter meaning is the saying, لَا تَــقْرَــبُوا الحِمَى i. e. لَا تَدْنُوا مِنْهُ [meaning Approach not ye to doing, or to entering upon, the thing, or place, that is prohibited, or interdicted]. (Msb.) And the Arabs say, of a man, when a thing has disquieted, or disturbed, and grieved, him, أَخَذَهُ مَا قَرُــبَ وَمَا بَعُدَ, as though meaning (assumed tropical:) He became, or has become, disquieted by reason of near and remote circumstances of his case: (O:) or recent and old griefs took hold upon him. (Mgh in art. قدم. [See art. بعد.]) دَنَا مِنِّى وَــقَرُــبَ is expl. by Zj as meaning He drew near to me and drew nearer. (T in art. دلو: see 5 in that art.) [And several other verbs belonging to this art. are syn., or nearly so, with قَرُــبَ or with قَرِــبَ in senses expl. above. Thus ↓ اقرب is syn. with قَرُــبَ in the first of the senses expl. above, like as أَدْنَى is with دَنَا, for its inf. n.]

الإِــقْرَــابُ signifies الدُّبُوُّ. (TA.) ↓ اقترب, also, is syn. with قَرُــبَ in the first of the senses expl. above; (MA;) [i. e.] it is syn. with دَنَا: (Msb:) or it is syn. with ↓ تقارب, (S, O, K, TA,) signifying he, or it, drew near; (TA;) thus ↓ وَاقْتَرَبَ الوَعْدُ [in the Kur xxi. 97] signifies تقارب [meaning And the fulfilment of the promise shall draw near]: (S, O, TA:) and you say, اقترب مِنِّى

[meaning He drew near to me]: (A:) it is also said that is has a more particular signification than قَرُــبَ; for it denotes intensiveness in الــقُرْــب; thus says Ibn-'Arafeh; probably meaning that it denotes labour and difficulty in the accomplishment of the act. (MF, TA.) ↓ تــقرّــب [likewise] is syn. with [قَرُــبَ, i. e.] دَنَا, in the phrase تــقرّــب مِنْهُ: (O: [see قَرُــبَ مِنْهُ:]) or it signifies he drew near, or approached, by little and little, (تَدَنَّى,) to a thing. (TA.) And الشَّىْءَ ↓ قارب, (ISd, TA,) or الأَمْرَ, (Msb,) [like قَرِــبَهُ in many instances,] signifies He was, or became, near, or he approached, to the thing, or affair, or to doing it. (ISd, Msb, TA.) b2: قَرُــبَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. قُرْــبٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He formed an opinion that was near to certainty. (MF.) b3: In the phrase قَرَــبَتِ الشَّمْسُ لِلْمَغِيبِ [meaning The sun was, or became, near to setting], like كَرَبَت, the ق is asserted by Yaakoob to be a substitute for ك. (TA.) A2: قَرَــبَ, aor. ـُ inf. in. قِرَــابَةٌ, He (a man) journeyed to water, there being between him and it a night's journey. (S, O.) [See also أَــقْرَــبَ القَوْمُ.

(TA.) And قَرَــبَ الإِبِل [in some copies of the K الإِبِلَ and in others الإِبِلُ], aor. ـُ inf. n. قِرَــابَةٌ; thus in the K; but accord. to Th, قَرَــبَتِ الإِبِلُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. قَرَــبٌ; (TA;) i. e. The camels journeyed by night in order to arrive at the water on the morrow: (K, * TA:) and [a man says, of himself,] قَرَــبْتُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. قِرَــابَةٌ. (TA.) b2: And قَرَــبْتُ المَآءَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. قَرَــبٌ, so in the Fs [of Th, meaning I journeyed to the water by night in order to reach it on the following morning]. (TA.) [Or] you say, قَرَــبُوا المَآءَ, meaning They sought, or sought to attain, the water. (A.) b3: And [hence] one says, فُلَانٌ يَــقْرُــبُ حَاجَتُهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one seeks, or seeks to attain, the object of his want; from the seeking, or seeking to attain, the water: and hence the saying, in a trad., وَإِنْ نَــقْرُــبُ بِذٰلِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ نَحْمَدَ اللّٰهَ (assumed tropical:) We not seeking thereby [aught] save our praising God: thus expl. by El-Khattábee. (Az, TA.) [Hence, also,] one says قَدْ قَرَــبَ أَمْرًا لَا أَدْرِى مَا هُوَ (tropical:) [He has sought to accomplish an affair, I know not what it is]: (A, O: *) and فُلَانٌ يَــقْرُــبُ أَمْرًا لَا يَسْهُلُ لَهُ (tropical:) [Such a one seeks to accomplish an affair that will not be easy to him]. (A.) فُلَانٌ يَــقْرُــبُ أَمْرًا means (assumed tropical:) Such a one seeks, desires, or aims at, [the accomplishment of] an affair, when he does a deed, or says a saying, with that object.

(TA.) b3: قَرَّــبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ, in the Kur li. 27, means He presented it, or offered it, to them: (Jel:) or he placed it, or put it, before them. (Bd.) And one says also, قرّــب خَصْمَهُ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ [He brought, or placed, his adversary before the Sultán]. (Mgh in art. رفع.) And ↓ قرّــب لِلّٰهِ قَرْــبَانًا [He offered, or presented, to God, an offering, or oblation]. (S, O: in the Msb, إِلَى اللّٰهِ.) b4: حَيَّا وَــقَرَّــبَ, (A, O,) inf. n. تَــقْرِــيبٌ, (K,) signifies (tropical:) He said, حَيَّاكَ اللّٰهُ وَــقَرَّــبَ دَارَكَ [May God preserve thee alive, or prolong thy life, and make thine abode to be near]: (A, O, K:) one says thus of a host to a visitor. (TA.) b5: And التَّــقْرِــيبُ signifies also The denoting nearness. (Mughnee and K * voce أَوْ, and Kull pp.82 and 83 and 124.) Thus what is termed تَصْغِيرُ التَّــقْرِــيبِ [The diminutive denoting nearness] is such as occurs in the saying, دَارِى قُبَيْلَ المَسْجِدِ [“ My house is a little before the mosque ”].

See 1, near the middle of the paragraph. b2: One says of a vessel, (S, O, K,) قارب أَنْ يَمْتَلِئَ (S, O) or قارب الاِمْتِلَآءَ (K) [It was, or became, near to being full]: قارب [thus used] is the verb from قَرْــبَانُ [q. v.], and قَرُــبَ is not used in its stead. (Sb, TA.) And one says also, قارب مِلْأَهُ [It was, or became, nearly equal, or it nearly amounted, to what would fill it]. (Msb.), And قارب قَدْرَهُ [It was, or became, nearly equal, or equivalent, to its quantity, or amount; or it was, or became, nearly equivalent to it]. (K, TA.) [And hence the term أَفْعَالُ المُقَارَبَةِ The verbs of appropinquation; as كَادَ &c.] b3: قارب الخَطْوَ He made the stepping to be contracted; syn. دَانَاهُ; (Az, K, TA;) [i. e. he made short steps: made his steps to be near together;] said of a horse. (TA.) And قارب كَلَامَهُ [He made the several portions of his speech, i. e. he made his words, to be near together; so that it means he uttered his speech rapidly]. (K in art. وط; &c.) and قارب بين الكَلِمَةِ وَالكَلِمَةِ فِى التَّسْبِيحِ [He made the words to follow one another nearly, or to be near together, in the act of praise, or the like.] (M in art. دنو.) And قَارَبْتُ بَيْنَ الأَمْرَيْنِ i. q. دَانَيْتُ [I made the two affairs, or events, to be nearly uninterrupted]. (T, S, Msb, all in art. دنو.) b4: قاربهُ also signifies He thought him, or it, to be near. (Ham p. 634.) And قارب الأَمْرَ He thought the thing. (MF.) b5: And He interchanged with him good, or pleasing, speech. (O, K, TA.) b6: And قارب فِى الأَمْرِ He pursued the right, or just, or middle, course, neither exceeding it nor falling short of it, in the affair. (O, * K, * TA.) b7: And قَارَبْتُهُ فِى البَيْعِ [app. meaning, in like manner, I pursued a middle course with him in selling, or buying, with respect to the price demanded or offered, neither exceeding what was just nor falling short of it], (S, O,) inf. n. مُقَارَبَةٌ. (S.) b8: مُقَارَبَةٌ and قِرَــابٌ signify also The raising the leg [or legs, of a woman,] for the purpose of جِمَاع. (K.) 4 أَــقْرَــبَ see 1, second quarter. b2: [Hence,] أَــقْرَــبَت, (S, A, O, K,) said of the pregnant, (A, TA,) or of a woman, and of a mare, and of a ewe or goat, (S, O, TA,) and also of an ass, (Lth, TA,) but [app.] not [properly] of a camel, (Lth, S, * O, * TA,) [though it is sometimes said of a camel, as in the S and O voce غَمُوس, and in the O and K in art. ك,] She was, or became, near to bringing forth. (Lth, S, A, O, K.) b3: and اقرب said of a colt, and of a young camel, (K, TA,) &c., (TA,) He was, or became, near to the age of shedding his central incisors; (K, TA;) and likewise, to that of shedding other teeth. (TA.) b4: And He nearly filled a vessel. (S, O, K.) b5: لَأُــقْرِــبَنَّكُمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ occurs in a trad. of Aboo-Hureyreh, meaning I will indeed perform to you the like of, or what will be nearly the same as, the praying of the Apostle of God. (TA.) b6: اقرب الإِبِلَ He made the camels to journey by night in order to arrive at the water on the morrow: (O, * K, TA:) or اقربوا إِبِلَهُمْ They, after pasturing them in the tract between them and the watering-place, and journeying on during a part of the time until there remained between them and the water a night, or an evening, hastened their camels. (Lth, TA.) b7: And اقرب القَوْمُ The people, or party, became persons whose camels were performing a journey such as is termed قَرَــبٌ: the part. n. is [said to be] ↓ قارب, not مُــقْربٌ: (As, S, O:) the former of these is said by A'Obeyd to be anomalous: (S, O:) [but see قَرَــبَ, which is expl. as having almost exactly the same meaning as that which is in this instance assigned to اقرب. And it is also mentioned in the TA, app. on the authority of AA, that the same phrase and the same anomalous part. n. are used when the people's camels are مُتَقَارِبَة (which means few, or near together): but I think that this word is a mistake of a copyist, for قَوَارِبُ: see قَارِبٌ.]

A2: See also 1, last quarter, in six places.5 تَــقَرَّــبَ see 1, near the middle of the paragraph. b2: [Hence] one says to his companion, urging him, تَــقَرَّــبْ, meaning (tropical:) Advance thou, or come forward: (A, TA:) or تَــقَرَّــبْ يا رَجُلُ, meaning hasten, O man. (As, O, L, K, TA.) Only the imperative mood in this sense is said to be used. (MF, TA.) b3: And [hence, also,] تــقرّــب signifies He rendered himself near, or allied himself, [drew near, or ingratiated himself,] by affection and friendship. (TA, voce تَنَسَّبَ. [In this sense it is trans. by means of مِنْ.]) And He applied himself with gentleness, or courtesy, to obtain access, or nearness, to a man, by means of some act performed for that purpose, or by right. (TA. [In this sense it is trans. by means of إِلَى.]) And one says, تــقرّــب مِنَ اللّٰهِ [He drew near unto God] by prayer or the like, and righteous actions: and تــقرّــب اللّٰهُ مِنْهُ [God drew near unto him] by beneficence towards him. (TA.) And تــقرِّــب بِهِ إِلَى اللّٰهِ, (S, A, O, Msb, K, *) inf. n. تَــقَرُّــبٌ and تِــقِرَّــابٌ, (O, K,) the latter [of a rare form] like تِحِمَّالٌ and تِكِلَّامٌ and تِمِلَّاقٌ, (O,) He sought thereby nearness, to bring himself near, to draw near, or to approach, unto God; or to advance himself in the favour of God: (S, K, * TA:) and فَعَلَهُ تَــقَرُّــبًا إِلَيْهِ [He did it by way of seeking nearness, &c., to Him]. (A.) A2: تــقرّــب also signifies He (a man, O) put his hand upon his قُرْــب (O, K, TA) i. e. his flank, (O, TA,) in walking; or, as some say, hastening, or going quickly. (TA.) 6 تقاربوا They were, or became, or drew, near, one to another: (S, * A, * Msb:) you say تقاربوا and ↓ اقتربوا [both app. signifying the same, like تخاصموا and اختصموا, and تخالطوا and اختلطوا, and تشاركوا and اشتركوا, &c.]. (A.) b2: See also 1, second quarter. b3: تقاربت إِبِلُهُ means (tropical:) His camels became few, [because drawing near together,] (A, O, K, TA,) and (as is also said of other things, TA) declined, or became reduced to a bad state. (O, * K, * TA.) b4: And [for the like reason, because of its becoming dense,] تقارب is said of seed-produce, or standing corn or the like, meaning (assumed tropical:) It became nearly ripe. (O, K, TA.) b5: And hence [accord. to some], تَقَارَبَ الزَّمَانُ (assumed tropical:) [When the time becomes contracted], occurring in a trad., expl. in art. زمن, q. v. (TA.) 8 إِقْتَرَبَ see 1, second quarter, in two places: b2: and see also 6.10 استــقربهُ [contr. of استبعدهُ]. One says, هُوَ يَسْتَــقْرِــبُ البَعِيدَ [He reckons near that which is remote]. (A, Msb.) قُرْــبٌ [mentioned in the first sentence of this art. as an inf. n.] is the contr. of بُعْدٌ: (S, O:) [used as a simple subst., it signifies Nearness, and] it is said to be [properly, or primarily,] in respect of place; [i. e. vicinity;] as distinguished from قُرْــبَةٌ &c. (Msb, TA.) You say, إِنَّ قُرْــبَكَ زَيْدًا [Verily Zeyd is in thy vicinity; i. e., near thee in respect of place]; but not إِنَّ بُعْدَكَ زَيْدًا; because قُرْــب is more capable of being used as an adv. n. of place than بُعْد: in like manner they said also ↓ هُوَ قُرَــابَتَكَ, meaning [He is in thy vicinity; i. e.,] near thee in respect of place. (Sb, TA. [See also قَرِــيبٌ.]) [And بِالــقُرْــبِ مِنْهُ is a phrase of frequent occurrence, meaning In the vicinity of, or near in respect of place to, him, or it.] And one says, تَنَاوَلَهُ مِنْ قُرْــبٍ and ↓ مِنْ قَرِــيبٍ [He took it, or took it with his hand, from a near place or spot]. (A, Msb.) and رَأَيْتُهُ مِنْ قُرْــبٍ [and ↓ مِنْ قَرِــيبٍ I saw him, or it, from a near place or spot, or from within a short distance]. (S in art. ام; &c.) b2: It is also syn. with ↓ قَرَــابٌ [signifying Nearness in respect of time] as used in the saying اِفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ بِــقَرَــابٍ

[i. e. Do thou that soon; like as one says, عَنْ

↓ قَرِــيبٍ]: (K, TA:) accord. to the K, the word قراب in this case is like سَحَاب: but it is said in a prov., أَكْيَسُ ↓ الفِرَارُ بِــقِرَــابٍ, thus in the S, or, as some relate it, ↓ بِــقُرَــابٍ; and IB says, J has cited this prov. [next] after the قِرَــاب of the sword, but should have said that الــقِرَــابُ is also syn. with الــقُرْــبُ, and should then have adduced the prov. as an ex. meaning The fleeing soon in eagerness of desire for safety [is more, or most, shrewd]: (TA:) [this rendering, however, requires consideration; for, accord. to Meyd, who gives only the reading بِــقِرَــابٍ, the meaning of the prov. is, that he who flees with the ↓ قِرَــاب (by which is meant the scabbard) when the sword has passed away from his possession is more shrewd than he who causes, or suffers, the قِرَــاب also to pass away from him: in Freytag's Arab Prov. ii. 210, both of these explanations are given; but قريب is there erroneously put for قُرْــب.] b3: See also قَرَــابَةٌ. b4: It is also a pl. of قَرِــيبٌ [q. v.]. (TA in art. زلف.) A2: قُرْــبٌ also, and ↓ قُرُــبٌ, (S, O, K,) the former of which is the original, (TA,) signify The خَاصِرَة [or flank]: (O, K:) or [the part] from the شَاكِلَة [which is syn., or nearly so, with خَاصِرَة,] to the مَرَاقّ [or soft parts] of the belly: (S, O, K:) and likewise from the رَفْغ [generally meaning groin] to the armpit, on each side: (TA:) [properly used in relation to a horse:] sometimes metaphorically used in relation to a she-camel, and to an ass [meaning a wild ass, and also to a man: see 5, last sentence]: (TA:) pl. أَــقْرَــابٌ; (T, S, O, K;) which is also used in the place of the dual. (T, TA.) قَرَــبٌ [mentioned in the latter half of the first paragraph of this art. as an inf. n.] is [said to be] a subst., signifying A journey to water when it is a night's journey distant: or, as As said, on the authority of an Arab of the desert, (S, O,) a journey by night in order to arrive at the water on the morrow; (S, O, K;) and so ↓ قِرَــابَةٌ [which is also mentioned as an inf. n. in the latter half of the first paragraph of this art.]; (K;) a journey by night in order to arrive at the water on the second following day being called طَلَقٌ: (S, O:) and the seeking water by night: or, when it is not more than a night's journey distant: or the first day in which one journeys to water when it is two days distant; the second day being called طَلَقٌ: (K: [but the converse seems to be the truth, being asserted by several of the highest authorities, and agreeable with the derivation of each of the two words: see طَلَقٌ:]) or the night after which, in the morning, one arrives at the water: (TA:) and لَيْلَةُ الــقَرَــبِ is the night in which people with their camels hasten to the water in a journey such as is termed قَرَــبٌ بَصْبَاصٌ; this latter term being applied to signify a people's letting their camels pasture while they are journeying towards water; and when there remains an evening between them and the water, hastening towards it: (S, O:) or, as is said on the authority of As, لَيْلَةُ الــقَرَــبِ is the second night after the pastor has turned the faces of his camels towards the water, and so left them to pasture; this second night being the night of hard driving; and the first night being called لَيْلَةُ الطَّلَقِ: accord. to AA, [the journey called] الــقَرَــبُ is [the journey to water] during three days, or more. (TA.) And [hence] الــقَرَــبَ is used to signify What is a night's journey distant. (S in art. نوب, in explanation of a verse cited in that art. [Or, accord. to IAar, قَرَــب there signifies near, so as to be visited repeatedly: or, as AA says, at such a distance as to be visited once in three days.]) [See also a saying mentioned voce حَوْزٌ.] b2: Also A well of which the water is near [to the mouth]. (O, K.) قُرُــبٌ: see قُرْــبٌ, last sentence.

قُرْــبَةٌ an inf. n. of قَرُــبَ [q. v.: and used as a simple subst. signifying Nearness]; like قُرْــبٌ: or the former is in station, or grade, or rank. (Mgh, Msb.) You say, طَلَبْتُ مِنْهُ الــقُرْــبَةَ [I sought of him nearness of station, &c.; or admission into favour]. (A.) b2: See also قَرَــابَةٌ. b3: Also, (A, O, Msb,) and ↓ قُرُــبَةٌ, (Msb,) A thing [such as prayer, or any righteous deed or work,] whereby one seeks nearness, to bring himself near, to draw near, or to approach, unto God; or to advance himself in the favour of God; (A, * O, Msb;) as also ↓ قُرْــبَانٌ: (S, O, Msb, K:) pl. of the first and second قُرَــبٌ and قُرْــبَاتٌ and قُرُــبَاتٌ and قُرَــبَاتٌ. (Msb.) قِرْــبَةٌ A kind of سِقَآء [or skin], (S, * O, * TA,) used for water: (S, O:) or a وَطْب [or skin] that is used for milk, and sometimes for water: (ISd, K:) or such as is sewed on one side: (K:) [the modern قِرْــبَة, which is seldom, if ever, used for anything but water, is (if I may judge from my own observations and the accounts of others) always made of the skin of a goat about one year old or upwards: it consists of nearly the whole skin; only the skin of the head, and a small portion of that of each leg, being cut off: it has a seam extending from the upper part of the throat nearly to the belly, and sometimes a corresponding seam at the hinder part, but more commonly only a patch of leather over the fundament and navel: over the seam, or over each seam, is sewed a narrow strip of leather; and a mouth of leather is added in the place of the head: it is carried on the back, by means of a strap, or cord, &c., one end of which is generally attached to a cord connecting the two fore-legs; and the other, to the right hind leg:] the pl. (of pauc., S, O) is قِرْــبَاتٌ, and قِرَــبَاتٌ, and قِرِــبَاتٌ, and (of mult., S, O) قِرَــبٌ. (S, O, Msb, K.) فِيهِ قَرَــبَةٌ and ↓ قِرَــابَةٌ are said of a vessel that is nearly filled [meaning In it is a quantity that nearly fills it]. (K, TA.) [See also قِرَــابٌ.]

قُرُــبَةٌ: see قُرْــبَةٌ: b2: and see also قَرَــابَةٌ.

قُرْــبَى [mentioned in the first sentence of this art. as an inf. n.: and used as a simple subst.]: see قَرَــابَةٌ, in five places: and see also قَرِــيبٌ, latter half.

قَرْــبَانُ A vessel nearly full: fem. قُرْــبَى: (S, O, K:) and pl. قِرَــابٌ: (S, O:) you say قَدَحٌ قَرْــبَانُ مَآءً i. e. [A drinking vessel] nearly full of water: and the ق in قربان is [said to be] sometimes changed into ك: (TA:) so accord. to Yaakoob; but ISd denies this. (TA in art. كرب.) A2: See also the paragraph here following.

قُرْــبَانٌ: see قُرْــبَةٌ: [it may often be rendered An offering, or oblation: and hence it sometimes means a sacrifice, as in the Kur iii. 179:] pl. قَرَــابِينُ. (Msb.) قُرْــبَانُهُمْ دِمَآؤُهُمْ [Their offering to God is their blood, lit. bloods,] occurs in a trad. as cited from the Book of the Law revealed to Moses, and as referring to the Arabs; meaning, they seek to bring themselves near unto God by shedding their blood in fighting in the cause of religion; whereas the قربان of preceding peoples consisted in the slaughtering of oxen or cows, and sheep or goats, and camels. (TA.) And it is said in another trad., الصَّلَاةُ قُرْــبَانُ كُلِّ تَقِىٍّ [The divinely-appointed act of prayer is the offering to God of every pious person]; meaning, that whereby the pious seek to bring themselves near unto God. (TA.) b2: Also, (S, A, O, K,) and ↓ قَرْــبَانٌ, (K,) but this latter is by some disapproved, (TA,) [A near associate; or] a particular, or special, (A, K,) associate or companion (A) or consessor; (K;) or a consessor; and a particular, or special, associate or companion; (S, ISd, O;) [or a familiar, or favourite;] of a king, (S, ISd, A, O, K,) or of a governor, or prince; (S, O;) [or of any person who is either a superior or an equal;] so called because of his nearness: (TA:) pl. قَرَــابِينُ: (S, A, O, K:) and one says also, فُلَانٌ مِنْ قُرْــبَانِ الأَمِيرِ [Such a one is of the near associates, &c., of the governor, or prince]; (S, O;) [for] قُرْــبَانٌ is [said to be originally] an inf. n., and [therefore, as an epithet,] the same as sing. and dual and pl.: (so in a marginal note in one of my copies of the S:) or, in a phrase of this kind, it is a pl. of ↓ قَرِــيبٌ. (A in art. بعد.) قَرَــابٌ: see قُرْــبٌ, former half.

قُرَــابٌ: see قَرِــيبٌ, last quarter, in two places: b2: and قُرْــبٌ, near the middle: b3: and قِرَــابٌ, former half: b4: and قُرَــابَةٌ.

قِرَــابٌ [an inf. n. of 3. And hence قِرَــابَ as an adv. n. of time]. You say, أَتَيْتُهُ قِرَــابَ العِشَآءِ I came to him near nightfall: and قِرَــابَ اللَّيْلِ near night. (Lth, TA.) And 'Oweyf El-Kawáfee says, describing she-camels, (so in the TA and in one of my copies of the S,) or 'Oweyf El-Fezáree, (so in the O,) هُوَ ابْنُ مُنَضِّجَاتٍ كُنَّ قِدْمًا يَزِدْنَ عَلَى العَدِيدِ قِرَــابَ شَهْرٍ (O, TA) i. e. He is the off spring of [one of the] she-camels that went beyond the usual time of bringing forth, that used formely to exceed the computed [time] near a month: J give a different reading of this verse, يَرِدْنَ عَلَى الغَدِيِر; but the correct reading is that given above. (IB, TA.) b2: See also قُرْــبٌ, near the middle. b3: قِرَــابُ الشَّىْءِ and ↓ قُرَــابُهُ and ↓ قُرَــابَتُهُ signify What is nearly the equal in quantity, or amount, or nearly the equivalent, of the thing. (K.) One says, مَعَهُ أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ قِرَــابُهُ He has with him a thousand dirhems, or nearly the equal thereof: and مَعَهُ مِلْءُ قَدَحٍ مَآءً أَوْ قِرَــابُهُ He has with him a cupful of water, or nearly the equal thereof. (Lth, TA.) And a poet says, (S,) namely, El-'Ambar, (so in the O and TA,) or Es-Sinnabr, (so in the Mz, 49th نوع,) Ibn-'Amr, Ibn-Temeem, (O, TA, *) إِلَّا تَجِئْ مَلْأَى يَجِئْ قِرَــابُهَا [If a full bucket (دَلْوٌ being understood, as is indicated in the S and O and TA,) come not, what will be nearly the equal thereof will come]. (S, O, TA.) One says also, لَوْ أَنَّ لِى قِرَــابَ هٰذَا ذَهَبًا i. e. [If there belonged to me] the quantity nearly sufficient for the filling of this [of gold]: and لَوْ جَآءَ بِــقِرَــابِ الأَرْضِ i. e. [If he brought] that which would be nearly the equal in quantity of the earth. (Msb.) And الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ ↓ المَآءُ قُرَــابَةُ [The water is such as is nearly the equal in height of the two knees]. (A.) [See also قَرَــبَةٌ.]

A2: Also The غِمْد [i. e. scabbard, or sheath,] of a sword, (K, TA,) or of a knife: (TA:) or the جَفْن [i. e. case, or receptacle,] of the غِمْد; (K, TA;) the جَفْن, which is a case, or receptacle, wherein is the sword together with its scabbard (بِغِمْدِهِ) and its suspensory belt or cord: (S, O, TA:) it is like a جِرَاب of leather, into which the rider, or rider upon a camel, puts his sword with its جَفْن [here meaning scabbard], and his whip, and his staff, or stick, and his utensils: (Az, TA:) or like the جِرَاب, into which one puts his sword with its scabbard (بِغِمْدِهِ), and his whip, and sometimes his travelling-provisions of dates &c.: (IAth, TA:) the pl. of the قِرَــاب of the sword is قُرُــبٌ [a pl. of mult.] (Msb, TA) and أَــقْرِــبَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.], like خُمُرٌ and أَخْمِرَةٌ pls. of خِمَارٌ. (Msb.) See also قُرْــبٌ, latter half.

قَرِــيبٌ Near in respect of place: (S, O, Msb, K, * &c.:) in this sense used alike as sing. and pl. (Kh, ISk, T, O, Msb, K *) and dual, (ISk, TA,) and as masc. and fem., (AA, Kh, Fr, ISk, T, S, O, Msb,) as is also بَعِيدٌ in the contr. sense: (Kh, ISk, TA:) the Arabs say هُوَ قَرِــيبٌ مِنِّى, (ISk, O, * TA,) and هُمَا قَرِــيبٌ مِنِّى, and هُمْ قَرِــيبٌ مِنِّى, (ISk, TA,) and هِىَ قَرِــيبٌ مِنِّى, &c., meaning فِى مَكَانٍ قَرِــيبٍ [in a place near, to me, or little removed from me:] (ISk, O, TA:) or when you say هِنْدٌ قَرِــيبٌ مِنْكَ, it is as though you said هِنْدٌ مَوْضِعُهَا قَرِــيبٌ مِنْكَ [Hind, her place is near to thee:] (AA, Msb:) hence, [in the Kur vii. 54,] إِنَّ رَحْمَةَ اللّٰهِ قَرِــيبٌ مِنَ المُحْسِنِينَ [Verily the mercy of God is near unto the welldoers]: (AA, ISk, O, Msb:) but it is allowable to say قَرِــيبَةٌ, as also بَعِيدَةٌ: (ISk, O, Msb, TA:) or (accord. to Zj, TA) قريب is here without ة because رحمة is not really [but only conventionally] of the fem. gender: (S, O, TA:) [but this reason is not satisfactory, because it does not apply to other cases mentioned above:] and it is also said that it is without ة because it is assimilated to an epithet of the measure فَعُولٌ, which does not receive the fem. affix ة. (TA.) [Hence the phrase مِنْ قَرِــيبٍ:] see قُرْــبٌ, former half, in two places. And [hence also] you say, إِنَّ قَرِــيبًا مِنْكَ زَيْدًا [Verily Zeyd is in a place near to thee]; like as you say, إِنَّ قُرْــبَكَ زَيْدًا. (Sb, TA.) b2: [Also Near in respect of time, whether future, as in the Kur xlii. 16, &c.; or past, as in the Kur lix. 15. And hence قَرِــيبًا meaning Shortly after and before. And Nearly, as when one says, أَقَمْتُ بِالمَوْضِعِ قَرِــيبًا مِنْ سَنَةٍ I remained, stayed, or abode, in the place nearly a year. Hence also the phrase عَنْ قَرِــيبٍ:] see قُرْــبٌ, near the middle. b3: And Near as meaning related by birth or by marriage: (S, O, Msb, K:) [and generally used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant, meaning a relation, or relative:] in this sense it receives the fem. form, by universal consent; so that you say, هٰذِهِ المَرْأَةُ قَرِــيبَتِى [This woman is my relation]: (Fr, S, O, Msb: *) and likewise the dual form; so that you say, [هُمَا قَرِــيبَانِ and] هُمَا قَرِــيبَتَانِ [They two are relations]: (AA, Msb:) [and it has a pl., namely, أَــقْرِــبَآءُ;] you say, هُمْ أَــقْرِــبَائِى and أَقَارِبِى (S, A, O, K) [and أَــقْرَــبِىَّ, this last originally أَــقْرَــبُوىَ; the first signifying They are my relations; and the second and third, properly, being pls. of ↓ أَــقْرَــبُ, They are my nearer, or nearest, or very near, relations; though in the T the second is said to be pl. of قَرِــيبٌ; and in most of the copies of the K, but not in all, (for in some the first of these three words is omitted, as it is also in the TA,) it is implied that أَــقْرِــبَآءُ and أَقَارِبُ and أَــقْرَــبُونَ (which are mentioned in the Msb without any distinction of meaning) are all to be understood in the latter sense]: and قُرْــبٌ [also] is a pl. of قَرِــيبٌ [app. in the sense here assigned to it], like as غُرْبٌ is of غَرِيبٌ; (TA in art. زلف;) and قَرْــبَى is allowable as a pl. of فَرِيبٌ: (T, TA:) the pl. of قَرِــيبَةٌ is قَرَــائِبُ. (T, Msb, TA.) And like as you say, هُوَ قَرِــيبِى

[meaning He is my relation], as too you say, ↓ هُوَ ذُو قَرَــابَتِى (S, O, K) and مِنِّى ↓ ذُو قَرَــابَةٍ and منّى ↓ ذُو مَــقْرُــبَةٍ and مِنِّى ↓ ذُو قُرْــبَى; (TA;) but not ↓ هُوَ قَرَــابَتِى; (K;) [for only] the vulgar say this; as also هُمْ قَرَــابَاتِى: (S, O:) or, accord. to Z, ↓ هُوَ قَرَــابَتِى is allowable, being accounted for as a phrase in which the prefixed n. [ذُو] is suppressed; and it has moreover been asserted to be correct and chaste in verse and prose: ↓ قَرَــابَةٌ also occurs in the trads. in the sense of أَقَارِبُ: it is said in the Nh to be an inf. n. used as an epithet, agreeably with general analogy: and in the Tes-heel it is said to be a quasi-pl. n. of قَرِــيبٌ, like as صَحَابَةٌ is of صَاحِبٌ: (MF, TA:) [accord. to Mtr,] ↓ قَرَــابَةٌ is correctly applicable to one and to a pl. number, as being originally an inf. n.; so that one says, هُو قَرَــابَتِى and هُمْ قَرَــابَتِى; though the chaste phrase is ذُو قَرَــابَتِى applied to one; and ذَوَا قَرَــابَتِى, to two; and ذَوُو قَرَــابَتِى, to a pl. number. (Mgh.) b4: And [it is also applied to relationship:] one says, بَيْنَنَا نَسَبٌ قَرِــيبٌ and ↓ قُرَــابٌ [Between us is a near relationship]. (A.) b5: It signifies also Near, or allied, by affection and friendship. (TA voce تَنَسَّبَ.) [You say, فُلَانٌ قَرِــيبٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ meaning Such a one is near, &c., or friendly and affectionate, to people, or mankind.] See also قُرْــبَانٌ, last sentence. b6: And one says, مَا هُوَ بِعَالِمٍ

عَالِمٍ ↓ وَلَا قُرَــابِ and عَالِمٍ ↓ قُرَــابَةِ meaning قَرِــيبِ عَالِمٍ

[i. e. He is not learned nor near learned]. (TA.) And مِنْ ذٰلِكَ ↓ مَا هُوَ بِشَبِيهِكَ وَلَا بِــقُرَــابَةٍ meaning وَلَا بِــقَرِــيبٍ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ [i. e. He is not the like of thee nor near that]; (S, O;) or مِنْكَ ↓ وَلَا بِــقُرَــابَةٍ

meaning بــقَرِــيبٍ [i. e., nor near the like of thee]. (K.) b7: فُلَانٌ قَرِــيبُ الثَّرَى; and قَرِــيبُ الثَّرَى بَعِيدُ النَّبَطِ: see in arts. ثرى and نبط.

A2: Also, (O, K, TA,) but in some of the lexicons written قِرِّــيبٌ, (TA,) Salted fish, while yet in its recent, moist, state.

[i. e. Between me and him is a relationship, or a relationship by the female side]. (S, O.) b2: See also قَرِــيبٌ, latter half, in six places.

قُرَــابَةٌ: see قُرْــبٌ, first quarter: b2: and قِرَــابٌ, in two places: and قَرِــيبٌ, near the end, in three places. b3: قُرَــابَةُ المُؤْمِنِ and ↓ قُرَــابُهُ signify The believer's فِرَاسَة [i. e. insight, or intuitive perception, &c.]; (Fr, O, K;) and his opinion, which is near to knowledge and assurance: occurring in a trad., in which it is said that one is to beware thereof, because he looks with the light of God. (Fr, O, TA. [See also فِرَاسَةٌ.]) قِرَــابَةٌ: see قَرَــبَةٌ: A2: and see also قَرَــبٌ.

جَاؤُوا قُرَــابَى, (IDrd, O, K,) the latter word similar to فُرَادَى, (IDrd, O,) They came near together. (IDrd, O, K.) قُرَــيْبَى [dim. of قُرْــبَى]. دُونَ كُلِّ قُرَــيْبَى قُرْــبَى

[There is a relationship nearer than every relationship small in degree] is a prov. applied to him who asks of thee something wanted which one more nearly related to thee than he has asked of thee.

قَارِبٌ [part. n. of قَرَــبَ said of a man journeying to water: and accord. to As and A'Obeyd, part. n. of أَــقْرَــبَ used in a similar sense; as such anomalous]. One seeking, or seeking to attain, [or journeying to,] water: so says Az, without specifying any time: (TA:) or, accord. to Kh, (S, O, TA,) one doing so by night; (S, O, K, TA;) not applied to one doing so by day. (S, O, TA.) And its pl. قَوَارِبُونَ signifies Persons whose camels are performing a journey such as is termed قَرَــبٌ: (As, S, O:) see 4, latter half. The epithet applied to camels in this case is قَوَارِبُ; (S, O;) [of which see another explanation voce طَلَقٌ;] and this epithet is also used in relation to birds. (IAar, TA.) مَا لِى

قَارِبٌ وَلَا هَارِبٌ occurs in a trad., meaning I have not any that goes to water nor any that returns from it. (L, TA. [See also هَارِبٌ.]) and حِمَارٌ قَارِبٌ means An ass hastening on in the night of arriving at the water. (Lth, TA.) A2: Also A small سَفِينَة; (A, K;) i. e. (A,) [a skiff;] a ship's boat, used by the seamen as a convenient means af accomplishing their needful affairs; (S, A, O;) also called سُنْبُوكٌ [or سُنْبُوقٌ]: (A:) pl. قَوَارِبُ: and أَــقْرُــبٌ occurs in a trad., and is said to be also a pl. of قَارِبٌ; but IAth says that this is not known as a pl. قارب, unless as anomalous; and it is said that أَفْرُبُ السَّفِينَةِ means the nearest parts of the ship; i. e., the parts near [or next] to the land. (TA.) قَوْرَبٌ Water over which, or against which, one has not power, or with which one cannot cope, by reason of its copiousness.

(TA.) مُــقْرَــبٌ A horse that is brought [or kept] near [to the tent, or dwelling], and treated generously, and not left to seek for pasture: fem. with ة:] or this is done only with mares, lest a stallion of low race should cover them: (IDrd, S, O, K:) or خَيْلٌ مُــقْرَــبَةٌ signifies horses that are [kept] near at hand, and prepared [for riding]: (El-Ahmar, TA:) or horses that have been prepared by scant food (ضُمِّرَتْ) for riding: (Sh, TA:) or horses of generous race, that are not confined in the pasturage, but are confined near to the tents, or dwellings, prepared for running.
