كذب

1 كَذَبَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. كَذِبٌ (a strange form of inf. n.; there being, accord. to Kz., only fourteen instances of it; as لَعِبٌ, and ضَحِكٌ, &c.; though there are many substantives of this measure; MF) and كِذْبٌ (S, K: accord. to Ibn-Es-Seed and others, this latter is formed from the former, by putting the second vowel of the former in the place of the first: MF) and كَذِبَــةٌ (L) or كَذْبَــةٌ (K) and كِذْبَــهٌ (L, K) and كِذَابٌ and كِذَّابٌ (K: but this last, which is also assigned to كَذَبَ in the L, is, accord. to the S, which refers, for proof, to the Kur, ch. lxxviii.

28, one of the inf. ns. of كذّب: and Ks says, that the people of El-Yemen make the inf. n. of فعّل of the measure فِعَّالٌ, while the other Arabs make it تَفْعِيلٌ: TA) and, accord. to some, كُذْبٌ and كَذْبٌ (TA: but the latter of these two, though agreeable with analogy, is unheard: TA): see also كَذِبٌ, below: [He lied; uttered a falsehood; said what was untrue:] he gave an untrue account, or relation, of a thing, whether intentionally or unintentionally. (Msb) الــكَذِبُ is of five kinds. b2: First, The relater's changing, or altering, what he hears; and his relating; as from others, what he does not know. This is the kind that renders one criminal, and destroys manly virtue. — Second, The saying what resembles a lie, not meaning anything but the truth. Such is meant in the trad., كَذَبَ إِبْرٰهِيمُ ثَلَاثَ كَذِبَــاتٍ

Abraham said three sayings resembling lies; he being veracious in the three. — Third, The saying what is untrue by mistake, or unintentionally; making a mistake; erring. This signification is frequent. — Fourth, The finding one's hopes false, or vain. — Fifth, The act of instigating, or inciting. (IAmb.) [See illustrations of these and other significations below; and see more voce صَدَقَ.] [You say] يَــكْذِبُــكَ مِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءَ [He will lie to thee even as to the place whence he comes.] (L, art. مح, and in many other places, following the similar phrase لَا يَصْدُقُكَ أَثَرَهُ, or أَثَرُهُ.) Lebeed says, اِــكْذِبِ النَّفْسَ إِذَا حَدَّثْتَهَا Lie to the soul (i. e., to thy soul,) when thou talkest to it: i. e., say not to thy soul, Thou wilt not succeed in thine enterprise; for thy doing so will divert thee, or hinder thee, therefrom. A proverb. (Meyd, &c.) b3: كُذِبَ, pass., He was told a lie; a falsehood; or an untruth. (K.) b4: Aboo-Duwád says, كَذَبَ العَيْرُ وَإِنْ كَانَ بَرَحْ The wild ass hath lied, although he hath passed from right to left: [the doing which is esteemed unlucky:] or, [agreeably with explanations of كَذَبَ given below,] hath become languid, and within [the sportsman's] power, or reach, &c.: or keep to the wild ass, and hunt him, &c. A proverb, applied in the case of a thing that is hoped for, though difficult of attainment. (TA.) b5: كَذَبَــتْ and ↓ كذّبــت (tropical:) She (a camel), being covered by the stallion, raised her tail, and then returned without conceiving. (En-Nadr, K.) b6: كَذَبَ is said of other things than men [and animals]: as of lightning, [meaning (assumed tropical:) It gave a false promise of rain]: of a dream, an opinion, a hope, and a desire, [meaning, in each of these cases, (assumed tropical:) It proved false]. (TA.) b7: So also كَذَبَــتِ العَيْنُ (assumed tropical:) The sense [i. e., the sight] of the eye deceived it. (TA.) b8: كَذَبَ الرَّأْىُ [(assumed tropical:) The judgment lied]; i. e., he imagined the thing contrary to its real state. (TA.) [See also صَدَقَ ظَنِّى] b9: كَذَبَــتْكَ عَيْنُكَ (tropical:) Thine eye showed thee what had no reality. (TA.) b10: كَذَبَ لَبَنُ النَّاقَةِ, and ↓ كذّب, (the latter mentioned in the S,) (tropical:) The milk of the camel passed away, or failed. (Lh.) b11: كَذَبَ فِى سَيْرِهِ (tropical:) [He (a camel) became slack, or slow, in his pace: see 2]. (TA.) b12: كَذَبَ الحَرُّ (tropical:) The heat abated. (TA.) b13: See also 2. كَذَبَ He found his hopes to be false, or vain. (IAmb.) اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُــوا عَلَى

أَنْفُسِهِمْ, [Kur vi. 24, lit., See how they lied against themselves,] is said to signify see how their hope hath proved false, or vain. (TA.) b14: ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُــوا, [Kur xii. 110,] They (the apostles) thought that they had been disappointed of the fulfilment of the promise made to them. So accord. to one reading. Accord. to another reading, the verb is ↓ كُذِّبُــوا: [in which case, the meaning of the words appears to be, “ They knew that they had been pronounced liars ” by the people to whom they were sent]. (TA.) There are also two other readings; ↓ كَذَّبُــوا and كَذَبُــوا: accord. to the former, the verb refers to the people to whom the apostles were sent; and ظنّوا means “ they knew: ” accord. to the latter, the words mean, “ They (the people above mentioned) thought that they (the apostles) had broken their promise. ” (Jel.) b15: مَا كَذَبَ الفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى [The mind did not belie what he saw.] (Kur liii. 11.) b16: كَذَبَــتْهُ نَفْسُهُ [His soul lied to him:] his soul made him to desire things, and to conceive hopes, that could scarcely come to pass. (K.) Hence the soul is called الكَذُوبُ.

You say in the contr. case, صَذَقَتْهُ نفسه, and الكَذُوبُ. (TA.) See كَذُوبٌ, and art. صدق. b17: Hence, كَذَبَ عَلَيْهِ signifies It rendered him active, or brisk; animated him; instigated him; incited him; (K;) as also كَذَبَــهُ. (Z.) b18: Hence, كَذَبَ and كَذَبَــكَ and كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ have sometimes the same signification, though not always the same government, as عَلَيْكَ, or اِلْزَمْ; Keep to; or take to. The noun following is put in the nom. case accord. to the dial. of El-Yemen; and in the acc. accord. to the dial. of Mudar; or, as some say, is correctly put in the nom. only. (TA.) You say, كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا, meaning Keep to, or take to, such and such things. It is an extr. phrase. (ISk.) You also say, كَذَبْــتُ عَلَيْكَ, meaning Keep thou to me: and كذبــتُ عَلَيْكُمْ Keep ye to me. IAar. cites the following verse of Khidásh Ibn-Zuheyr, [in which he tauntingly compares a people to ticks]: كَذَبْــتُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَوْ عِدُونِى وَعَلِّلُوا بِىَ الأَرْضَ وَالأَقْوَامَ قِرْدَانَ مَوْظَبَا [Keep ye to me: threaten me, and soothe by (the mention of) me the land and the peoples, O ticks of Mowdhab!]: meaning Keep ye to me, and to satirizing me, when ye are on a journey, and traverse the land mentioning me. (TA.) In like manner, يَوْمُ الأَحَدِ والخَمِيسِ كَذَبَــاكَ أَوْ يَوْمُ الإِثْنَيْنِ والثَّلَاثَاءِ, in a trad. respecting the proper days for being cupped, signifies Keep thou to Sunday and Thursday, or Monday and Tuesday. (IAth, Z.) The verb is thus used after the manner of a proverb, and is invariable [as to tense], being constantly in the pret. tense, connected [literally or virtually, when explained by عَلَيْكَ followed by the prep. ب, or by إِلْزَمْ,] only with the person addressed, and in the sense of the imperative. كذبــاك here [lit.] signifies Let them render thee active, or brisk, and animate thee, instigate thee, or incite thee. (Z.). [A trad. of 'Omar, quoted below, presents another instance to which this signification is said to apply.] b19: Or كَذَبَ denotes instigation, or incitement, of the person addressed, to keep to the thing that is mentioned; as in the saying of the Arabs, كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ العَسَلُ, meaning Eat thou honey: but the explanation of this is, (The relinquisher of) honey hath erred [to thee; i. e., in his representation of its evil qualites &c.; which is equivalent to saying, Eat, or keep to, honey]: العَسَلُ being put for تَارِكُ العَسَلِ. [See also 1 in art. عسل.] In like manner, the saying of 'Omar, كَذَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الحَجُّ &c., (see below,) signifies Keep ye to the performance of the pilgrimage, &c.: [or (the relinquisher of) the pilgrimage hath erred to thee in his representation of it: therefore it means as above]. (IAmb.) Accord. to IAmb the noun signifying the object of instigation [which may also be called the cause thereof] cannot be rightly put in the acc. case: if so put, the verb is without an agent. (TA.) [But see what is said on this point in the remarks on the trad. of 'Omar below.] b20: Or the verb in a case of this kind signifies أَمْكَنَ: thus, كَذَبَــكَ الحَجُّ signifies The performance of the pilgrimage is possible, or practicable, to thee: therefore [it means] Perform thou the pilgrimage. (ISh.) b21: Or أَمْكَنَ is its original signification; and the meaning intended is Keep to; as in the ex. كَذَبَ العَتِيقُ. (Aal.) b22: 'Antarah, addressing his wife 'Ableh, says; or, accord. to some, the poet is Khuzaz Ibn-Lowdhán; كَذَبَ العَتِيقُ وَمَآءُ شَنٍّ بَارِدٌ

إِنْ كُنْتِ سَائِلَتِى غَبُوقًا فَاذْهَبِى (TA.) i. e., Keep thou to the eating of dates, and to the cool water of an old, worn-out, skin: if thou ask me for an evening's drink of milk, depart: for I have appropriated the milk to my colt, which is profitable to me, and may preserve me and thee: (L:) العتيق is in the nom. case accord. to the dial. of El-Yemen: but in the acc. accord. to that of Mudar. (TA.) b23: Er-Radee [reading العتيقَ] cites this verse as a proof that كَذَبَ, originally a verb, has become a verbal noun, signifying اِلْزَمْ. (TA.) But he is the only one who asserts it to be a verbal noun. (MF.) b24: Also, Mo'akkir El-Bárikee says, وَذُبْيَانِيَّةٍ أُوْصَتْ بَنِيهَا بِأَنْ كَذَبَ القَرَاطِفُ وَالقُرُوفُ And many a woman of Dhubyán charged her sons by [saying], Keep to the red garments (اكسية), and the bags (or receptacles) of leather tanned with pomegranate-bark. She charged them to take plenty of these two things as spoil from the tribe of Nemir, if they should prevail over them. (Aboo-'Obeyd El-Kásim Ibn-Selám.) b25: كذب is also said to have the same meaning in the words of the trad. كَذَبَ النَّسَّابُونَ [Keep to those skilled in genealogy:] or Regard is to be had to what is said by those skilled in genealogy: another meaning to which is assigned below. (TA.) b26: It sometimes signifies It is incumbent, or obligatory. So in the following: (a trad. of 'Omar: TA:) كَذَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الحَجُّ كَذَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ العُمْرَةُ كَذَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الجِهَادُ ثلَاثَةُ

أَسْفَارٍ كَذَبْــنَ عَلَيْكُمْ [The performance of the pilgrimage is incumbent on you: the performance of (the rites called) العمرة is incumbent on you: warring (for the sake of religion) is incumbent on you: three expeditions are incumbent on you]: (S, * K:) or كذب, here, is from كَذَبَــتْهُ نَفْسُهُ, “ his soul made him to desire things, and to conceive hopes, that could scarcely come to pass; ” and the meaning is let [the expectation of the reward which will follow] the performance of the pilgrimage render thee active, or brisk, and animate thee, instigate thee, or incite thee, to the act: [and so of the rest of the trad.: but here I should observe, that, for لِيَــكْذِبَــكَ and لِيُنَشِّطَكَ and يَبْعَثَكَ, in the CK, we should read لِيَــكْذِبْــكَ &c.:] (K:) b27: or, as ISk says, كذب, here, seems to denote instigation, or incitement, meaning عَلَيْكُمْ بِهِ keep ye to it; and is an extr. word with respect to analogy: (S:) b28: accord. to Akh., الحجّ is governed in the nom. case by كذب; but as to the meaning, it is in the acc.; because the meaning is a command to perform the pilgrimage; as when you say, أَمْكَنَكَ الصَّيْدُ [“ the game hath become within thy power, or reach ”], meaning “ shoot it, ” or “ cast at it: ” (S:) he who puts الحجّ in the acc. case, [agreeably with one relation of the trad., TA,] makes عليك [or عليكم] a verbal noun; and in كذب is [implied] the pronoun which refers to الحجّ [and which is the agent of the verb]; (K;) or the agent is implied in كذب, and explained by what follows it; (Sb;) [so that] the meaning is كَذَبَ الحَجُّ عَلَيْكُمُ الحَجَّ: (Z:) or, [as shown above,] كذب is a verbal n., meaning الْزَمْ, and الحجّ is in the acc. case as governed by it: (Er-Radee:) though its being in the acc. case, accord. to some, is altogether unknown: (TA:) b29: [or the meaning is as stated before on the authority of ISh.:] b30: or the trad. means كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ الحَجُّ إِنْ ذُكِرَ

أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ كَافٍ هَادِمٍ لِمَا قَبْلَهُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ [(the relinguisher of) the pilgrimage hath erred to thee if it have been spoken of (by him) as not sufficient, (and as not) abolishing the sins, or offences, (committed) before it: agreeably with the explanation by IAmb, given above]. (K.) b31: كَذَبَ He said what was false unintentionally; committed a mistake, or error. The verb is used in this sense by the people of El-Hijáz, and the rest of the Arabs have followed them in so using it. (Towsheeh.) A2: كَذَبَ is also said to signify He spoke truth; so as to bear two contr. meanings: and thus, كَذَبَ النَّسَّابُونَ may signify Those skilled in genealogy have spoken truth: but another explanation of this saying is given in this art. (MF, &c.) A3: كَذَبَــتْ عَفَّاقَتُكَ [and the like] Thou brokest wind. (S in art. عفق.) 2 كذّبــه, inf. n. تَكْذِيبٌ, (and كِذَّابٌ, TA, and تَــكْذِبَــةٌ [like تَجْرِبَةٌ &c.], occurring in the TA, voce لَهَبَةٌ, &c.) He made, or pronounced, him a liar; an utterer of falsehood; or a sayer of what was untrue: (K:) he attributed, or ascribed, to him lying, untruth, mendacity, or the speaking untruth: (Msb:) and (Msb) [accused him of lying:] he gave him the lie; said to him, “ Thou hast lied, ” &c. (S, Msb.) See also 4. b2: كذّب بِالأَمْرِ, inf. n. تَكْذِيبٌ and كِذَّابٌ (K: the latter inf. n. of the dial. of El-Yemen: Ks, Fr) and كِذَابٌ, (TA,) He rejected, disallowed, denied, disacknowledged, disbelieved in, or discredited, the thing; syn. أَنْكَرَهُ; (K;) as also كذّبــهُ, and ↓ كَذَبَــهُ. (Jel, liii. 11.) Ex. وَــكَذَّبُــوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا [And they rejected our signs, with rejection: Kur, lxxviii. 28]. (S.) And كَذَّبَ الفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى, and ↓ كَذَبَ: see art. فأد, and see 1. b3: كذّب عَنْهُ (assumed tropical:) He repelled from him, [or defended him]; syn. رَدَّ عَنْهُ; namely, a man. (K.) [See exs. voce عوّى, in art. عو.]

A2: حَمَلَ فَمَا كَذّب, inf. n. تَكْذِيبٌ, (tropical:) He charged, and was not cowardly, (S, K,) and did not retreat. (TA.) حَمَلَ ثُمَّ كذّب He charge, and then was cowardly, or did not charge with earnestness, or sincerity: (S:) b2: or falsified the opinion formed of him: or made a false charge. (A.) كذّب عَنَ قِرْنِهِ He charged, and then retreated from his adversary. (Sh.) كذّب القِتَالَ He was cowardly in fight. التَّكْذِيبُ in fighting is the contr. of الصِّدْقُ. (TA.) b3: كذّب السَّيْرَ [He slackened his pace, or became slow, after giving promise of being quick;] he did not proceed in his journey with energy. (TA.) b4: مَا كَذَّبَ أَنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا (so in the TA, and in a MS. copy of the K: in the CK, and in two copies of the S, مَا كَذَبَ:) (tropical:) He did not delay to do so: (S, K:) he was not cowardly and weak, and did not delay to do so. (TA.) A3: كذّب عَنْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ أَرَادَهُ (tropical:) He abstained, or desisted, or drew back by reason of fear, from a thing that he had desired to do. (K.) b2: كذّب (and ↓ كَذَبَ, TA,) (assumed tropical:) He (a wild beast) took a run, and then stopped to see what was behind him, (K,) whether he were pursued or not. (TA.) 3 كَاذَبْتُهُ, inf. n. مُكَاذَبَةٌ and كِذَابٌ, I lied, &c., to him, and he to me. (K, * TA.) 4 اكذبــهُ He found him a liar; an utterer of falsehood; or a sayer of what was untrue: (S, K:) or he said to him, “ Thou hast lied ”: &c.: (TA:) or this verb bears the former of these two significations, and ↓ كذّبــه signifies the latter: (S:) or اكذبــه signifies he shewed him that he had told a lie, &c.: (Zj:) or اكذبــه signifies he announced that he had told, or related, a lie, &c.: and ↓ كذّبــه, he announced his being a liar, &c.: (Ks, S:) or اكذبــه and ↓ كذّبــه are syn.: but the former sometimes signifies he incited, urged, or induced, him to lie, &c. (a signification assigned to it in the K): and sometimes, he made manifest, or proved, his lying, &c. (a signification also assigned to it in the K): and he found him a liar, &c. (Th, S, * TA.) A2: اكذب, inf. n. إِكْذَابٌ, (tropical:) He, being called to, or shouted to, remained silent, feigning to be asleep. (AA, K.) 5 تكدّب He affected lying: or he lied purposely (تَكَلَّفَ الــكَذِبَ). (S, K.) He told a lie; [like كَذَب.] (MA, KL.) [See also an instance in which it is trans., meaning He spoke falsely, voce تزعّم.] b2: تــكذّبــهُ, (K,) and تــكذّب عَلَيْهِ, (TA,) He asserted that he was a liar. (K.) Aboo-Bekr Es-Siddeek says, رَسُولٌ أَتَاهُمْ صَادِقًا فَتَــكَذَّبُــوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا لَسْتَ فِينَا بِمَا كِثِ

[An apostle came to them, speaking truth; but they brought a charge of lying against him, or asserted him to be a liar, and said, Thou shalt not stay among us]. (TA.) 6 تكاذبوا They lied, &c., one to another. (S.) See also تَصَادَقَا.

↓ نُمَيْرٍ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ مَكْذُوبَةٌ [Verily no lying, or lie, is attributable to the sons of Numeyr] is related as a phrase of the Arabs. (Fr.) b3: إِنَّ بَنِى فُلَانٍ

(TA.) One says so of a man who threatens another, and then belies himself, and is cowardly and weak. (AA.)

كذب
الــكَذِبُ: مَعْروفٌ، وهو الكِذَابُ. يَــكْذِبُــكَ كَذِبــاً: أخْبَرَكَ بالــكَذِبِ. ويُــكَذبُــكَ تَكْذِيباً: لم يُصَدقْ حَدِيْثَكَ. وهو كاذِبٌ وكَذُوْبٌ.
وقُرِىءَ قولُه عزَّ وجل: " فإنَّهم لا يُــكَذبُــوْنَكَ " ولا يُــكْذِبُــوٍنَكَ، فَمَنْ ثَقَلَ فَمَعْناه لا يَسْتَطِيْعُونَ أن يَجْعَلُوه كاذِباً. ومَنْ خَفف فمعناه: فإِنَهم لا يقولون كَذَبْــتَ، وأكْذَبْــتُ الرَّجُلَ: إذا أخْبَرْتَ أنَّه جاءَ بالــكَذِب.
وقولُه تعالى: " َلغْواً ولا كِذَاباً " - خَفِيْفَةً -: أي ولا كَذِبــاً، و " لا كِذّاباً " أرادَ التَّكْذِيْبَ.
والــكُذُبْــذُبُ والــكُذُّبْــذُبُ: الــكَذِبُ. وهو الكاذِبُ أيضاً، وجَمْعُه كَذَاذِبُ. ورَجُلَ كَيْذَبَانٌ وكَيْذُبَانٌ وأُكَيْذِبانٌ: أي كاذِبٌ. وفيه كَيْذَبَانٌ: أي كَذِبٌ. وبَيْنَهم أُكْذُوْبَةٌ: أي يَتَكاذَبُوْنَ.
وتقول: كَذِبْــتَ وفَجِرْتَ - بالكَسْر -.
وفي المَثَل: ليس لِمَكْذُوْبٍ رَأْيٌ.
والعَرَبُ تُسَمّي النَّفْسَ: الكَذُوْبَ، وجَمْعُها كُذُبٌ.
ويُقال: كَذَبَ عليكم الحَجُّ: أي وَجَبَ عليكم، ولا يُصَرَّفُ وُجُوهُ الفِعْل منه.
وأنْشَدُوا:
كَذَبْــتُ عليكم أوْعِدُوني وعَلَّلُوابيَ الأرضَ والأقوامَ قِرْدَانَ مَوْظِبا أي عليكم بهجائي فاقْطَعُوا بذِكْرِيَ الأرضَ.
ويقولون: كَذَبَــتْكَ الظَّهائرُ: أي عليك بالمَشْي في حَر الظَّهائرِ.
وفي حَديث عمَرَ - رضي الله عنه -: كَذَبَ عليكم الحَجُّ، كَذَبَ عليكم الجِهَادُ، كَذَب عليكم العُمْرَةُ، ثلاثةُ أسْفَارٍ كَذَبْــنَ عليكم، ومعناه الإِغراءُ، وحَقُه النَصْبُ.
وحَمَلَ عليه فما كَذَّبَ: أي ما انْثَنى. والتَكْذِيْبُ: الفِرَارُ.
وما كَذَّبَ أنْ يَفْعَلَ ذاكَ: أي ما لَبثَ.

ويُقال للناقَةِ التي تُضْرَبُ فَتَشُول ثم تَرْجِع حائلاً بَعْدَ اللّقَاح: كَذَّبَــتْ تَكْذِيباً فهي مُــكَذِّبٌ، وكَذَبَــتْ - مُخفَّفَةً - فهيَ كاذِبٌ.
وكَذَبَ لَبَنُ الناقَةِ كَذِبــاً: أي ذَهَبَ، وكَذَّبَ تَكْذِيباً.
والإِكْذَابُ: أنْ يُصِيْخَ ويَسْكُتَ ويُرِي أنَه نائمٌ وهو كالإِطْرَاق.
والكَذّابَةُ: ثَوْبٌ يُنقَشُ بألْوانِ الصِّبْغ كأنَّه مُوَشّىً.
