ظلم
1 ظَلَمَ,
aor. ـِ has for its
inf. n. ظَلْمٌ, (
M,
Msb,
K, and so in some copies of the
S,) or ↓ ظُلْمٌ, (so in other copies of the
S,) or both, (
T,) or the latter is a simple
subst., (
T,
M,
Msb,
TA,) which is put in the place of the
inf. n., (
TA, [and the same is indicated in the
T and
K by the saying that the proper
inf. n. is with fet-h,]) and ↓ مَظْلِمَةٌ, (
S,
TA,) or this is likewise a simple
subst., (
Msb,) and ↓ مَظْلَمَةٌ, [or this also is a simple
subst.,] and ↓ ظِلَامٌ also is said to be an
inf. n. like ظُلْمٌ, these two being like لِبَاسٌ and لُبْسٌ, [or it is a simple
subst. like as ظُلْمٌ is said to be, or it is an
inf. n. of 3, as such occurring in the middle of this paragraph,] or,
accord. to
Kr, it is
pl. of ظُلْمٌ [like as رِمَاحٌ is
pl. of رُمْحٌ]: (
TA:) [ظَلَمَ when
intrans. generally means He did wrong; or acted wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically: and when
trans., he wronged; or treated, or used, wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically; or he misused:]
accord. to most of the lexicologists, (
Er-Rághib,
TA,) primarily, (
As,
T,
S,
Msb,) ↓ الظُّلْمُ signifies the putting a thing in a place not its own; putting it in a wrong place; misplacing it: (
As,
T,
S,
M,
Er-Rághib,
Msb,
K:) and it is by exceeding or by falling short, or by deviating from the proper time and place: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) or the acting in whatsoever way one pleases in the disposal of the property of another: and the transgressing the proper limit: (El-Munáwee,
TA:) [i. e.] the transgressing the proper limit much or little: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) or,
accord. to some, it primarily signifies النَّقْص [as meaning the making to suffer loss, or detriment]: (
MF,
TA:) and it is said to be of three kinds, between man and God, and between man and man, and between a man and himself; every one of which three is really لِلنَّفْسِ [i. e. a wrongdoing to oneself]: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) [when it is used as a simple
subst.,] the
pl. of ظُلْمٌ,
accord. to
Kr. is ظِلَامٌ, as mentioned above, and ↓ ظُلَامٌ, with damm, is said to be
syn. with ظُلْمٌ, or a
pl. thereof, [of an
extr. form, commonly regarded as that of a
quasi-pl. n.,] like رُخَالٌ. (
TA.) One says, مَنِ اسْتَرْعَى الذِّئْبَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ [He who asks, or desires, the wolf to keep guard surely does wrong, or puts a thing in a wrong place]: a
prov. (
S,
Msb.) And مَنْ أَشْبَهَ أَبَاهُ فَمَا ظَلَمَ, (
As,
T,
S,) a
prov., meaning [Whoso resembles his father in a quality, or an
attribute,] he has not put the likeness in a wrong place. (
As,
T. [See art. شبه.]) وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا, in the
Kur [xviii. 31], means وَلَمْ تَنْقُصْ [i. e. And made not aught thereof to suffer loss, or detriment]: (
M,
K:) and in like manner
Fr explains the saying in the
Kur [ii. 54 and vii. 160], وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ And they made not us to suffer loss, or detriment, by that which they did, but themselves they made to suffer loss, or detriment: (
T,
TA:) in which sense it seems to be indicated in the
A that the verb is
tropical. (
TA.)
b2: It is also
trans. by means of بِ; as in the phrase in the
Kur [vii. 101 and xvii. 61] فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا, because the meaning is
كَفَرُــوا [i. e. And they disbelieved in them], referring to the آيَات [or signs]; (
M,
TA; *) the verb having this meaning tropically or by implication; or being thus made
trans. because implying the meaning of التَّكْذِيب: or [the meaning is, and they wronged themselves, or the people, because of them; for], as some say, the ب is causative, and the
objective complement, i. e. أَنْفُسَهُمْ, or النَّاسَ, is suppressed. (
TA.)
b3: and it is doubly
trans. by itself: (
TA:) one says, ظَلَمَهُ حَقَّهُ [He made him to suffer loss, or detriment, of his right, or due; or defrauded, or despoiled, or deprived, him of it]; and حَقَّهُ ↓ تظلّمهُ: (
M,
K:) [and] you say, فُلَانٌ ↓ تَظَلَّمَنِى, [as well as تظلّمنى مَالِى, occurring in a verse cited in the
M,] meaning ظَلَمَنِى مَالِى [i. e. Such a one caused me to suffer loss, &c., of my property]. (
S.) It is said in the
Kur [iv. 44], إِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ, for لَا يَظْلِمُهُمْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةِ, and the verb is made doubly
trans. because the meaning is لَا يَسْلُبُهُمْ [i. e. Verily God will not despoil them, or deprive them, of the weight of one of the smallest of ants, or a grub of an ant, &c.]: or مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ, may be put in the place of the
inf. n., for ظَلْمًا حَقِيرًا كَمِثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ [i. e. with a paltry spoliation or deprivation, such as the weight of one of the smallest of ants, &c.]. (
M.)
b4: One says also, أَرَادَ ظِلَامَهُ and مُظَالَمَتَهُ, [these two nouns being
inf. ns. of ↓ ظَالَمَهُ, or the former, as mentioned above, is,
accord. to some, an
inf. n. of ظَلَمَ,] meaning ظُلْمَهُ or ظَلْمَهُ [i. e. He desired the wronging, &c., of him]. (
M,
K.)
b5: ظَلَمَهُ,
inf. n. ظُلْمٌ [or ظَلْمٌ?], also means He imposed upon him a thing that was above his power, or ability. (
TA.) And يُظْلَمُ He is asked for a thing that is above his power, or ability. (
S.)
b6: And one says, ظَلَمَ البَعِيرَ (
tropical:) He slaughtered the camel without disease. (
S,
K,
TA.) And ظُلِمَتِ النَّاقَةُ (assumed
tropical:) The she-camel was slaughtered without disease: or was covered without her desiring the stallion. (
M.) And ظَلَمَ الحِمَارُ الأَتَانَ (
tropical:) The he-ass leaped the she-ass (
K,
TA) before her time: (
TA:) or when she was pregnant: (
K,
TA:) so in the A. (
TA.)
b7: And ظَلَمَ الوَطْبَ, (
S,
K,)
inf. n. ظُلْمٌ [or ظَلْمٌ?], (
S,) (
tropical:) He gave to drink of the milk of his skin before its becoming thick (
S,
K,
TA) and its butter's coming forth. (
TA. [And the like is said in the
T and
M.]) And ظَلَمَ القَوْمَ (assumed
tropical:) He gave to drink to the people, or party, (
T,
M,
K,) milk before it had attained to maturity, (
T,
K,) as related on the authority of A 'Obeyd, (
T,) or [milk such as is termed] ظَلِيمَة: (
M:) but this is a mistake: it is related on the authority of Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e.
Th] and
AHeyth that one says, ظَلَمْتُ السِّقَآءَ, and اللَّبَنَ, meaning I drank, or gave to drink, what was in the skin, and the milk, before its attaining to maturity and the extracting of its butter:
accord. to
ISk, one says, ظَلَمْتُ وَطْبِىَ القَوْمَ, [but I think that it is correctly ظَلَمْتُ وَطْبِى لِلْقَومِ, agreeably with a verse cited in the
T and
M,] meaning I gave to drink [to the people, or party,] the contents of my milk-skin before the thickening thereof. (
T.) And ظَلَمْتُهُ is said of anything as meaning (assumed
tropical:) I did it hastily, or hurriedly, before its proper time, or season. (
M,
TA.)
b8: ظَلَمْتُ الحَوْضَ means (assumed
tropical:) I made the watering-trough in a place in which watering-troughs should not be made. (
ISk,
T.) And ظَلَمَ الأَرْضَ means (
tropical:) He dug the ground in what was not the place of digging: (
M,
K,
TA:) or when it had not been dug before. (
M.) And, said of a torrent, (assumed
tropical:) It furrowed the earth in a place that was not furrowed. (
T.) And ظَلَمَ البِطَاحَ, said of a torrent, (
tropical:) It reached the بطاح [or wide water-courses containing fine, or broken, pebbles, &c.], not having reached them before. (
A,
TA.) And ظَلَمَ الوَادِى (
tropical:) The water of the valley reached a place that it had not reached before. (
Fr,
T,
S,
K,
TA.)
b9: When men have added upon the grave other than its own earth, لَا تَظْلِمُوا (
tropical:) [Transgress not ye the proper limit] is said to them. (
TA.)
b10: And one says, لَا تَظْلِمْ وَضَحَ الطَّرِيقِ (assumed
tropical:) Turn not thou from the main part, or the beaten track, of the road. (
M.) And لَا تَظْلِمْ عَنْهُ شَيْئَا (assumed
tropical:) Turn not thou from it at all. (
T.) And لَزِمَ الطَّرِيقَ فَلَمْ يَظْلِمْهُ (assumed
tropical:) [He kept to the road, and] did not turn from it to the right and left. (
TA.)
b11: And مَا ظَلَمَكَ
أَنْ تَفْعَلَ (
T,
K,
TA) (
tropical:) What has prevented thy doing (
K,
TA) such a thing? (
TA.) A man complained to Abu-l-Jarráh of his suffering indigestion from food that he had eaten, and he said to him, مَا ظَلَمَكَ أَنْ تَقِىْءَ (assumed
tropical:) [What has prevented thy vomiting?]. (
Fr,
T.) And one says, مَا ظَلَمَكَ عَنْ كَذَا (assumed
tropical:) What has prevented thee from such a thing? (
T.) Respecting the saying قَالَ بَلَى يَا مَىَّ وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمْ [addressed by a man to a woman who had invited him to visit her],
Fr says, they say that the meaning is حَقًّا [Truly, or in truth; i. e. He said, Yes, O Meiya, truly, or in truth, I will visit thee]; and it is a
prov.; (
T;) or اليَوْمُ ظَلَمَ, or بَلَى وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمَ, is a
prov.; (
Meyd;) and thus it was
expl. by
IAar, as used in the manner of an oath: but
Fr says, in my opinion the meaning is, and a day in which is a cause of prevention shall not prevent me: [so that the words of the hemistich above may be rendered, he said, Yes, O Meiya, though the day present an obstacle, for I will overcome every obstacle]: (
T:)
accord. to
Kr, قَدِمَ فُلَانٌ وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمَ means Such a one came truly, or in truth: [or it may be rendered such a one came though the day presented an obstacle:] but in the saying إِنَّ الفِرَاقَ اليَوْمَ وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمْ the meaning is said by some to be وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمَنَا [i. e. Verily separation is to-day, and the day has wronged (us)]: or, as some say, ظلم here means, has put the thing in a wrong place: (
M:)
accord. to
ISk, the phrase وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَم means[And, or but, or though,] the day has put the affair in a wrong place. (
T.) [See also Freytag's Arab.
Prov. ii. 911.]
A2: ظَلِمَ, said of the night: see 4.
2 ظلّمهُ,
inf. n. تَظْلِيمٌ, (
T,
S, &c.,) He told him that he was ظَالِم [i. e. doing wrong or acting wrongfully &c., or a wrongdoer]: (
T:) or he attributed, or imputed, to him ظُلْم [i. e. wrongdoing, &c.]. (
S,
M,
Msb,
K.)
b2: And He (a judge) exacted justice for him from his wronger, and aided him against him. (
T.) 3 ظَاْلَمَ see 1, in the middle of the paragraph.
4 اظلم, said of the night, (
Fr,
T,
S,
M,
Msb,
K,) and ↓ ظَلِمَ, (
Fr,
T,
S,
K,) the latter with kesr, (
S,) like سَمِعَ, (
K,) [erroneously written in the
TT as from the
M ظَلَمَ,] It became dark; (
S,
K;) or it became black; (
M;) or it came with its darkness. (
Msb.) It is said in the
Kur [ii. 19], وَإِذَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا [And when it becomes dark to them they stand still]; the verb being
intrans.: or,
accord. to the
Ksh, and
Bd follows it, it may be
trans. [so that the meaning is, and when He makes their place dark &c.]; as is shown by another reading, which is أُظْلِمُوا:
accord. to
AHei, it is known by transmission as only
intrans.; but
Z makes it to be
trans. by itself; Ibn-Es-Saláh affirms it to be
trans. and
intrans.: and
Az [so in the
TA, but correctly
ISd, in the
M,] mentions the saying, تَكَلَّمَ فَأَظْلَمَ عَلَيْنَا البَيعتَ (assumed
tropical:) [He spoke, and made dark to us the house, or chamber, or tent], meaning he made us to hear what we disliked, or hated, the verb being
trans. (
TA.)
b2: And أَظْلَمُوا They entered upon the ظَلَام [or darkness, or beginning of night]: (
S,
M,
Msb,
K:) or, as in the Mufradát [of
Er-Rághib], they became in darkness. (
TA.)
b3: And they said, مَا أَظْلَمَهُ and ما أَضْوَأَهُ [How dark is it! and How light, or bright, is it!]; which is
anomalous. (
S,
TA.)
A2: And اظلم الثَّغْرُ The front teeth glistened. (
T,
K.) Hence the saying [of a poet], إِذَا مَا اجْتَلَى الرَّائِى إِلَيْهَا بِطَرْفِهِ غُرُوبَ ثَنَايَاهَا أَضَآءَ وَأَظْلَمَا [as though meaning, When the beholder of her with his eye looks at the fineness, or sharpness, (but غُرُوب is variously explained,) of her central teeth, it shines brightly, and glistens: but
Az plainly indicates another meaning; i. e., he sees (
lit. lights on, or finds,) brightness and lustre; for he immediately adds, without the intervention of وَ or أَوْ, evidently in relation to this verse,] أَضَآءَ
أَىْ أَصَابَ ضَوْءًا وَأَظْلَمَ أَصَابَ ظَلْمًا: (
T:) [and
ISd cites the verse above with the substitution of بِعَينِهِ for بِطَرْفِهِ and of أَنَارَ for أَضَآءَ immediately after saying that] أَظْلَمَ signifies he looked at the teeth and saw lustre (الظَّلْمَ). (
M.) [In the
K, next after the explanation of اظلم الثَّغْرُ given above, it is added that اظلم said of a man signifies أَصَابَ ظَلْمًا: thus, with fet-h, to the ظ,
accord. to the
TA: in my
MS. copy of the
K and in the
CK, ظُلْمًا, which is doubtless a mistranscription.]
5 تظلّم مِنْهُ CCC (
T,
S,
M,
K, [but in some copies of the
S, منه is omitted,]) He complained of his ظُلْم [or wrongdoing, &c.], (
S,
M,
K,) إِلَى الحَاكِمِ [to the judge]: (
T:) in some copies of the
S, تُظُلِّمَ. (
TA.)
b2: And تظلّم signifies also He transferred the responsibility for the ظُلْم [or wrongdoing, &c.,] upon himself, (
M,
K,)
accord. to
IAar, who has cited as an
ex., كَانَتْ إِذَا غَضِبَتْ عَلَىَّ تَظَلَّمَتْ [as though meaning She used, when she was angry with me, to transfer the responsibility for the wrongdoing upon herself; which may mean that she finally confessed the wrongdoing to be hers]; but [
ISd says] I know not how that is: the تَظَلُّم in this case is only the complaining of الظُّلْم; for when she was angry with him, it was not allowable [to say] that she attributed the ظُلْم to herself. (
M.)
b3: See also 1, former half, in two places.
6 تظالم القَوْمُ (
S,
M,
Msb) The people, or company of men, treated, or used, one another wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically (ظَلَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا). (
M,
Msb.)
b2: And [hence]
تَظَالَمَتِ المِعْزَى (
tropical:) The goats smote one another with their horns by reason of their being fat and having abundance of herbage. (
IAar,
M,
TA.) One says, وَجَدْنَا أَرْضًا تَظَالَمَ مِعْزَاهَا (
tropical:) We found a land whereof the goats smote one another with their horns by reason of satiety and liveliness. (
T,
TA.) 7 إِنْظَلَمَ see the next paragraph.
8 اِظَّلَمَ (
T,
S,
M,
K) and اِظْطَلَمَ and اِطَّلَمَ, (
S,
M,) which last is [said to be] the most usual, (
S,) [but I have mostly found the first to be used,] of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ, (
S,
M,) He took upon himself [the bearing of] ظُلْم [or wrong, &c.,] in spite of difficulty, trouble, or inconvenience: (
S,
TA:) or he bore الظُّلْم [or wrong, &c.,] (
T,
M,
K,
TA,) willingly, being able to resist; (
T,
TA;) and ↓ اِنْظَلَمَ signifies [thus likewise, or] he bore الظُّلْم. (
S,
M,
K.) ظَلْمٌ The lustre, and brightness, of gold. (
Z,
TA.)
b2: And hence, (
Z,
TA,) The lustre (
lit. running water) upon the teeth; (
Lth,
T,
Z,
TA;) the lustre (مَآء,
S,
M,
K, and بَرِيق,
S,
K) of the teeth, (
Lth,
T,
S,
M,
Z,
K,
TA,) from the clearness of the colour, not from the saliva, (
Lth, *
T, *
M,) like blackness within the bone thereof, by reason of the intense whiteness, (
S,
K,) resembling the فِرِنْد [
q. v.] of the sword, (
S,
K,) or appearing like the فِرِنْد [of the sword], so that one imagines that there is in it a blackness, by reason of the intense lustre and clearness: (
M:) or,
accord. to
Sh, whiteness of the teeth, as though there were upon it [somewhat of] a blackness: or, as Abu-l-'Abbás ElAhwal says, in the
Expos. of the “ Kaabeeyeh,”
lustre (
lit. running water) of the teeth, such that one sees upon it, by reason of its intense clearness [
app. meaning transparency], what resembles dustcolour and blackness: or,
accord. to another explanation, fineness, or thinness, and intense whiteness, of the teeth: (
TA:)
pl. ظُلُومٌ. (
S,
M.)
b3: Also Snow: (
M,
K:) it is said to have this meaning: and the phrase مُشْرَبَةِ الثَّنَايَا بِمَآءِ الظَّلْمِ, used by a poet, may mean [Having the central teeth suffused with the lustre termed ظَلْم, as is indicated in the
T and
S, or] with the water of snow. (
Lth,
T.) ظُلْمٌ [as a simple
subst. generally means Wrong, wrongdoing, injustice, injuriousness, or tyranny]: see 1, first sentence, in two places.
b2: [ظُلْمُ الارضِ in the
CK is a mistranscription for ظَلَمَ الأَرْضَ.
b3: And الظُلْمُ in one place in the
CK, as
syn. with الظَّلْمَآءُ, is a mistake for الظُّلْمَةُ.]
لَقِيتُهُ أَدْنَى ظَلَمٍ, (
S,
M,
K,) or أَدْنَى ذِى ظَلَمٍ, (
K,
TA, [in the
CK اَوَّلَ ذِى ظَلَمٍ,]) means (
tropical:) I met him the first of everything: (
S,
K,
TA:) or the first thing: (
M:) or when the darkness was becoming confused: (
M,
K:) or أَدْنَى ظَلَمٍ meansnear; (El-Umawee,
S,
M,
K;) or nearness: (
M,
K:) and one says, هُوَ مِنْكَ أَدْنَى ذِى ظَلَمٍ
[
app. He is near thee], and رَأَيْتُهُ أَدْنَى ذِى ظَلَمٍ
[
app. I saw him near]: (
M:) and ظَلَمٌ is also
syn. with شَخْصٌ [as meaning an object seen from a distance, or a person]; (
K;) or, as some say, it has this meaning in the phrase أَدْنَى ظَلَمٍ [so that لَقِيتُهُ أَدْنَى ظَلَمٍ may mean I met him the nearest object seen from a distance, or the nearest person]: (
M:) and
accord. to
Kh, one says, ↓ لَقِيتُهُ أَدْنَى ظُلْمَةٍ, or أَوَّلَ ذِى ظُلْمَةٍ, (as in different copies of the
S,) meaning I met him the first thing that obstructed my sight. (
S.)
b2: ظَلَمٌ signifies also A mountain: and the
pl. is ظُلُومٌ. (
M,
K.) ظُلَمٌ an appellation of Three nights (
T,
S,
K) of the lunar month (
T,
S) next after the three called دُرَعٌ; (
T,
S, *
K; *) so says
A'Obeyd: (
T:) thus called because of their darkness: (
S:) the
sing. is ↓ ظَلْمَآءُ; (
T,
S;) so that it is
anomalous; for by rule it should be ظُلْمٌ; (
S;) and the
sing. of دُرَعٌ is دَرْعَآءُ: so says
A'Obeyd: but
accord. to
AHeyth and
Mbr, the sings. are ↓ ظُلْمَةٌ and دُرْعَةٌ, agreeably with rule; and this is the correct assertion. (
T. [See more in art. درع,
voce أَدْرَعُ.]) ظِلَمٌ: see ظِلَّامٌ.
ظُلْمَةٌ (
T,
S,
M,
Msb,
K) and ↓ ظُلُمَةٌ (
S,
M,
K) [
accord. to the
CK ظُلْمٌ and ظُلُمٌ, both of which are wrong,] and ↓ ظَلْمَآءُ (
S,
M,
Msb,
K) Darkness;
contr. of نُورٌ: (
S,
Msb:) or nonexistence of نُور [or light]: or an accidental state that precludes the coëxistence therewith of نُور: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) or the departure of light; as also ↓ ظَلَامٌ; (
M,
K;) which last has no
pl.; (
T,
TA;) or this last signifies the beginning, or first part, of night, (
S,
M,
Msb,) even though it be one in which the moon shines; and is said by
Sb to be used only adverbially; one says, أَتَيْتُهُ ظَلَامًا, meaning I came to him at night, and مَعَ الظَّلَامِ i. e. at the time of the night: (
M,
TA:) the
pl. of ظُلْمَةٌ is ظُلَمٌ and ظُلُمَاتٌ and ظُلَمَاتٌ (
T,
S,
Msb) and ظُلْمَاتٌ, (
S,
Msb,) or,
accord. to
IB, the first of these pls. is of ظُلْمَةٌ and the second is of ظُلُمَةٌ. (
TA.) One says, ↓ هُوَ يَخْبِطُ الظَّلَامَ [or فِى الظَّلَامِ,
expl. in art. خبط], and الظُّلْمَةَ [which means the same] and ↓ الظَّلْمَآءَ [which is also
expl. in art. خبط]. (
TA.)
b2: ظُلْمَةٌ is also [tropically] used as a term for (assumed
tropical:) Ignorance: and (assumed
tropical:) belief in a plurality of gods: and (assumed
tropical:) transgression, or unrighteousness: like as نُورٌ is used as a term for their contraries: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) and it is said in the
A that الظُّلْمُ is ظُلْمَةٌ, like as العَدْلُ is نُورٌ. (
TA.) ظُلُمَاتُ البَحْرِ means (assumed
tropical:) The troubles, afflictions, calamities, or hardships, of the sea. (
M.)
A2: And one says لَيْلَةٌ ظُلْمَةٌ, [using the latter word as an
epithet, (in the
CK, erroneously, ظَلِمَةٌ,)] and ↓ لَيْلَةٌ ظَلْمَآءُ, both meaning A night intensely dark; (
M,
K;) or the latter means مُظْلِمَةٌ [i. e. dark, or black]: (
S:) and ↓ لَيْلٌ ظَلْمَآءُ also, (
M,
K,) which is
anomalous, (
K,) mentioned by
IAar, but [
ISd says] this is strange, and in my opinion he has put لَيْلٌ in the place of لَيْلَةٌ, as in his mentioning لَيْلٌ قَمْرَآءُ [
q. v.]. (
M.)
