Msb; [
accord. to the latter of which, this is the primary signification;]) generous, noble, or high-born: (
L:) the most generous, noble, or high-born, of a people: (
Msb:) a liberal, bountiful, or munificent, person: (
Fr,
L:) clement; forbearing; one who endures injurious treatment from his people: (
L:) devout, abstaining from unlawful things, and clement, or forbearing: (Katádeh,
L:) one who is not overcome by his anger: ('Ikrimeh,
L:)
accord. to
As, the Arabs say that it signifies any one who is subdued, or repressed, by his principle of clemency, or forbearance: (
L:) and ↓ سَائِدٌ signifies the same as سَيِّدٌ: or one inferior to a سَيِّد: (
K:) or,
accord. to
Fr, one says, هٰذَا سَيِّدُ قَوْمِهِ اليَوْمَ [this is the lord, &c., of his people today]; but if you announce that he will be their سيّد after a little while, you say هُوَ سَائِدُ قَوْمِهِ عَنْ قَلِيلٍ, and سَيِّدُ: (
S:) the
fem. of سَيِّدٌ [and of ↓ سَائِدٌ] is with ة: (
M,
L,
Msb:)
pl. of سَيِّدٌ, (
S,
Msb,) or of ↓ سَائِدٌ, (
M,
K,) سَادَةٌ (
S,
M,
Msb,
K) and سَيَائِدُ (
S,
K) and [
pl. of سَادَةٌ] سَادَاتٌ: (
Msb:) [
J says that] سَادَةٌ is of the measure فَعَلَةٌ, [orinally سَوَدَةٌ,] because سَيِّدٌ is of the measure فَعِيلٌ; [as has been before mentioned;] and it is like سَرَاةٌ as
pl. of سَرِىٌّ, the only other instance of the kind; this being shown to be the case by the fact that سَيِّدٌ has also as a
pl. سَيَائِدُ, with ء, [and with the و changed into ى because it is so changed in the
sing.,] like as أَفِيلٌ has أَفَائِلُ, and like as تَبِيعٌ has تَبَائِعُ; but the Basrees, who hold سَيِّدٌ to be of the measure فَيْعِلٌ, say that it becomes of the measure فَعَلَةٌ in the
pl. as though it were سَائِدٌ, like قَائِدٌ, which has قَادَةٌ as a
pl., and like ذَائِدٌ, which has ذَادَةٌ as a
pl.; and they also say that سَيَائِدُ, with ء, as
pl. of سَيِّدٌ, is
contr. to
analogy; for by rule it should be without ء. (
S.)
b2: [In the present day it is also particularly applied to signify, like شَرِيف, Any descendant of the Prophet.]
b3: One of the poets has used it in relation to the jinn, or genii; saying, يَنْدُبْنَ سَيِّدَهُنَّةْ جِنٌّ هَبَبْنَ بِلَيْلٍ
[Genii that were roused from their sleep by night, summoning, or perhaps bewailing and eulogizing their chief]:
Akh says that this is a well-known verse of the poetry of the Arabs: but it is asserted by one, or more, likewise deserving of reliance, that it is of the poetry of El-Weleed [and therefore
post-classical]. (
M.)
b4: And the wild ass is called (assumed
tropical:) the سَيِّد of his female. (
TA.)
b5: Also, (
Ks,

tropical:) Advanced in years: (
Ks,
S,
M;
Mgh,
Msb,

trad. applied to the camel and the ox-kind. (
M,
TA.)
b6: And the former also signifies (assumed
tropical:) What is most eminent, exalted, or noble, of any things: and is applied by
Zj to the
Kur-án, because, he says, it is سَيِّدُ الكَلَامِ (assumed

b2: Also [as a
subst., or an

subst. predominates,] Water; (
M,
Mgh,
L;) as also ↓ أَسْوَدُ: (
M: [but see الأَسْوَدَانِ,
voce أَسْوَدُ:]) the former is [said to be] used in this sense in negative phrases only: (
M,
L:) one says, مَاسَقَاهُمْ مِنْ سُوَيْدٍ قَطْرَةً He gave them not to drink a drop of water. (
M,
Mgh, *
L.)
b3: أُمُّ سُوَيْدٍ means The anus;

Kr explains it by نِبْتَةٌ [
app. a mistranscription for نَبْتَةٌ a plant]; without describing it. (
M.) سَائِدٌ: see سَيِّدٌ, in the middle of the paragraph, in three places.
أَسْوَدُ Greater, and greatest, in respect of estimation, rank, or dignity;
syn. أَجَلُّ: (
S,
K:) and, as some say, more [and most] liberal or bountiful or munificent: or more [and most] clement or forbearing. (
TA.) One says, هُوَ أَسْوَدُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ He is greater &c. (أَجَلُّ) than such a one. (

Ham p.
379:) [or has an intensive signification, like أَحْمَرىٌّ:] the

ex. voce أَسَكُّ,] meaning [a little black thing; or blackish, or] approaching to black; (
S;) and the abbreviated
dim. is ↓ سُوَيْدٌ: (
S,
Mgh,
Msb:) the
dim. of سَوْدَآءُ is ↓ سُوَيْدَآءُ: (
Mgh:) the
pl. of أَسْوَدُ (
M,
Msb) and of سَوْدَآءُ (
Msb) is سُودٌ (
M,
Msb) and سُودَانٌ [which latter is especially applied to human beings]. (
M.) السُّودَانُ is said in the
R to denote [The negroes;] that particular people, or race, who are the most stinking of mankind in the armpits and sweat, and the more so those who are eunuchs. (
TA.) [It (i. e. السودان) is also sometimes used for أَرْضُ السُّودَانِ, or بِلَادُ السُّودَانِ, (The land, or the country, of the negroes,) or the like: it is thus used in the
TA voce سَمْغَرَةُ.] and the
epithet أَسْوَدُ is also applied by the Arabs to a thing that is أَخْضَر [i. e. green]; because it appears to be thus at a distance. (
Msb. [See أَخْضَرُ: and see حَدِيقَةٌ دَهْمَآءُ and مُدْهَامَّةٌ,
voce أَدْهَمُ.])

accord. to some, in this case also, the black]: see أَحْمَرُ, in two places.
b5: As applied to a certain bird: see سُودَانِيَّةٌ, in two places.
b6: Also, as a
subst., (
S,) or an

decl., (
TA,) (
tropical:) A great serpent, (
S,
M,
K,) in which is blackness: (
S,
M:) the worst and greatest and most noxious of serpents, than which there is none more daring, for sometimes it opposes itself to a company of travellers, and follows the voice, and it is that which seeks retaliation, and he who is bitten by it will not escape death: (
Sh,
TA:) it is pluralized as a
subst., (
Sh,
S,
M,) its
pl. being
أَسَاوِدُ (
S,
M) and أَسَاوِيدُ and ↓ أَسْوَدَاتٌ: (
M:) were it an
epithet [used as such], its
pl. would be سُودٌ: it is also called أَسْوَدُ سَالِحٌ, because it casts off its slough every year: you do not say أَسْوَدُ سَالِخٍ: (
S:) the female is called ↓ أَسْوَدَةٌ, (
S,
M,) which is
extr.; (
M;) and to this the
epithet سَالِخَةٌ is not applied. (
S.)
b7: الأَسْوَدَانِ means (assumed
tropical:) The serpent and the scorpion; (
Sh,
Mgh,
Msb,
K;) which are to be killed during prayer: (
Sh,
Mgh,
Msb:) so called by the attribution of predominance [to the former]. (
Sh,
TA.)
b8: and (
tropical:) Dates and water; (El-Ahmar,
As,
S,
M,
A,
Mgh,
Msb,
K;) both together being thus called by a term which properly applies to one only, [
accord. to some,] for [they say that] الأَسْوَدُ alone signifies dates, not water, and especially, or mostly, the dates of El-Medeeneh; and in like manner, Aboo-Bekr and 'Omar together are called العُمَرَانِ; and the sun and the moon together, القَمَرَانِ: (
TA:) or, as some say, it means water and milk; and is applied by a rájiz to water and the herb called الفَثّ, of [the grain of] which bread is made, and is eaten [in time of dearth or drought]. (
M,
L.) See also سُوَيْدٌ.
b9: Also (assumed
tropical:) The حَرَّة [or tract strewn with black and crumbling stones] and night: (
S,

S,
M.) And as to the saying of 'Áïsheh, that she was with the Prophet when they had no food, but only the أَسْوَدَانِ, which is
expl. by the lexicologists as meaning dates and water, [and thus by
Mtr in the
Mgh,
ISd says,] in my opinion she only meant the حَرَّة and night. (
M.)
b10: هُوَ أَسْوَدُ الكَبِدِ [
lit. He is black-livered] means (
tropical:) he is an enemy: (
A,
TA:) and سُودُ الأَكْبَادِ means (
tropical:) enemies. (

tropical:) Such a one brought his sheep, or goats, in a lean, or an emaciated, state. (
As,
S, and A in art. حمر.)
b12: and رَمَى بِسَهْمِهِ الأَسْوَدِ (
tropical:) He shot with his lucky arrow, (
A,
K,) that was smeared with blood, (
A,) by means of which he looked for good fortune, (
K,
TA,) because he had shot with it and hit the object shot at, (
TA,) or as though it were black (
K,
TA) with blood, (
TA,) or by its having been much handled. (

tropical:) Cultivated, or planted, land; opposed to البَيْضَآءُ [
q. v.]. (
TA in art. بيض.
[See also سَوْدَةٌ.])
b16: [But سَنَةٌ سَوْدَآءُ means (assumed
tropical:) A very severe year; more severe than such as is termed حَمْرَآءُ; which is more severe than the بَيْضآء, and still more so than the شَهْبَآء: see arts. شهب and حمر.]
b17: الحَبَّةُ السَّوْدَآءُ, said in a
trad. to be a remedy for every disease except death, (
TA,)
i. q. الشُّونِيزُ [
q. v.], (
K,) as also ↓ السُّوَيْدَآءُ, (
TA,) [i. e.] this latter signifies حَبَّةُ الشُّونِيزِ, (
M,) or properly الشِّينِيز, for thus the Arabs called it
accord. to
IAar: or, as some say,
i. q. الحَبَّةُ الخَضْرَآءُ [
q. v. in art. حب], because the Arabs [often] call black أَخْضَر, and green أَسْوَد. (
TA.)
A3: It is also used as an
epithet denoting excess; but as such is
anomalous, being formed from a verb whence the simple
epithet is of the measure أَفْعَلُ: so in the saying, أَسْوَدُ مِنْ حَلَكِ الغُرَابِ [Blacker than the blackness, or intense blackness, of the crow, or raven: see حَلَكٌ]. (
