قص
1 قَصَّهُ, (
S,
M,
A,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـُ
inf. n. قَصٌّ, (
M,
Msb,) He cut it; (
S,
Msb;) or he clipped it, or shore it, or cut off from it; (
A,
K;) namely, hair, (
S,
M,
A,
K,) and wool, (
M,) and plumage, (
A,) and a nail of a finger or toe; (
M,
K;) with the مِقَصّ,
q. v.: (
A,
K:) as also ↓ قصّصهُ, (
M,
A,) and, by permutation, قَصَّاهُ: (
M:) or these two forms have an intensive signification: or you say, الظُّفْرَ وَنَحْوَهُ ↓ قَصَّيْتُ, meaning, I pared the nail and the like. (
Msb.)
b2: Also, He (a weaver) cut off from it, namely, a garment, or piece of cloth, its unwoven end, or extremity, consisting of warp without woof. (
M.)
b3: And He cut off the extremities of his ears. (
IAar,
M.) قُصِّيهِ occurs in a
trad., as meaning, Take thou from the extremities of his ears. (
TA.) [But this may be from the root قصو,
q. v.]
b4: And [hence,] قَصَّ اللّٰهُ خَطَايَاهُ (assumed
tropical:) God diminished, or took or deducted from, [the account of] his sins. (
TA, from a
trad.)
A2: قَصَّ أَثَرَهُ, (
S,
M,
A,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـُ (
M,
TA,)
inf. n. قَصَصٌ, (
S,
M,
A,
O,
L,
K,) in [some of] the copies of the
K قَصِيصٌ, but the former is the right, (
TA,) and قَصٌّ, (
T,
M,
K,) He followed, or followed after, his track, or footsteps, in pursuit; endeavoured to trace him, or track him; (
S,
M,
A,
Msb,
K, &c.;) or he did so by degrees: (
TA:) or by night: or at any time: (
M,
TA:) which last is the correct explanation: (
TA:) and قَصَّهُ signifies the same, (
A,
TA,) and so اثره ↓ اقتصّ, (
S,
K,) and اثره ↓ تقصّص: (
S,
M,
K:) and قَسَّ is a
dial. form of the same. (
TA.) You say, خَرَجَ فُلَانٌ قَصَصًا فِى أَثَرِ فُلَانٍ Such a one went forth following, or following after, the footsteps of such a one, in pursuit. (
TA.) And it is said in the
Kur, [xviii. 63,] (
S,) فَارْتَدَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا (
S,
K) And they both returned by the way by which they had come, retracing their footsteps. (
K,
TA.)
b2: [And hence,] قَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الخَبَرَ, (
S,
M,
Msb, *
K, *) and الحَدِيثَ, and الرُّؤْيَا, (
A,)
aor. ـُ (
M,
TA,)
inf. n. قَصَصٌ, (
M,
TA,) or this is a
subst. put in the place of the
inf. n. so that it has become predominant over it, (
S,) and قَصٌّ, (
M,
TA,) or the latter only is the
inf. n., and the former is [only] a
subst., (
Msb,) He related to him the piece of news, or information, (
S,
M,
Msb,) and the tradition, or story, and the dream, (
A,) in its proper manner (عَلَى وَجْهِهِ): (
S,
Msb:) or he made it known [to him]: (
K:) and الحَدِيثَ ↓ اقتصّ he related the tradition, or story, in its proper manner (عَلَى وَجْهِهِ); (
S,
K,
TA;) as though he followed its traces, in pursuit, and related it accordingly: (
TA:) [i. e., he pursued the course of the tradition, or story:] and الخَبَرَ ↓ تقصّص he pursued, or sought after, the particulars of the news, or information, gradually, and deliberately. (
M.) قَصَّ is also said to signify He recited, or delivered, a [discourse such as is termed] خُطْبَة. (
TA.) And it is said in the
Kur, [xii. 3,] نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ القَصَصِ We explain unto thee with the best explanation: (
K,
TA:) or, as some say, قَصٌّ is the
inf. n. of the verb used in this sense, and قَصَصٌ is a
subst. [
syn. with قِصَّةٌ,
q. v.]. (
TA.) And in a
trad. respecting the Children of Israel it is said, لَمَّا قَصُّوا هَلَكُوا: or لَمَّا هَلَكُوا قَصُّوا:
accord. to different relations: meaning, When they relied upon words, and neglected works, they perished: or when they perished, by neglecting works, they inclined to, and relied upon, stories. (
TA.)
A3: قَصَّهُ المَوْتُ, and قَصَّهُ عَلَى المَوْتِ, or مِنَ المَوْتِ: see 4.

A2: قصّص, (
S,)
inf. n. تَقْصِيصٌ, (
A,
K,) He plastered, or built, (
TA,) a house, (
S,
K,
TA,) and a tomb, which it is forbidden to do, (

syn. جَصَّصَ: (

dial. of El-Hijáz. (
TA, art. جص.) 3 قاصّهُ, (
Msb,)
inf. n. مُقَاصَّةٌ (

Mgh,
Msb,

A,
Mgh,
TA, or one who has been wounded,
Mgh, [or mutilated,]) retaliated upon him by slaying him, or wounding him, (
S, *
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) or mutilating him, (
S, *
Msb,
K, *) so as to make him quit, or even, with him. (
Mgh.) See also 8.
b2: Hence, (
A,
Mgh,) (
tropical:) He made him quit, or even, with himself: used in a general way. (
Mgh.) You say, قاصّ صَاحِبَهُ, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb, *
K,)
inf. ns. as above, (
Msb,) (
tropical:) He made his fellow quit, or even, with him, (
Mgh,) in a reckoning, (
S,
Mgh,
K,) or other thing, (
S,
K,) by withholding from him the like of what the latter owed to him; (
Mgh;) he made a debt which his fellow owed him to be as a requital of a like debt which he owed his fellow: [but
Fei adds,] this is taken from إِقْتِصَاصُ الأَثَرِ: and hence the former signification, relating to retaliation of slaughter and wounding and mutilation, which, however, is the predominant signification. (
Msb.) You say also, قَاصَصْتُهُ بِمَا كَانَ لِى قَبْلَهُ, [or, more probably, قِبَلَهُ, or perhaps عَلَيْهِ,] (
tropical:) I withheld from him the like of what he owed me. (
A,
TA.)
ISd says, (
TA,) The phrase قُوصَّ زَيْدٌ مَا عَلَيْهِ has been mentioned; and means, in my opinion, (assumed
tropical:) Zeyd was reckoned with for what he owed: though made
trans. without a
particle, as implying the meaning of أُغْرِمَ and the like. (
M,
TA.) 4 اقصّهُ,
inf. n. إِقْصَاصٌ, He retaliated for him; (
M;) as also ↓ اقتصّهُ; (A; [so in a copy of that work; but I think it is a mistake for اقصّهُ, or for اقتصّ لَهُ,
q. v.]) or اقتصّ مِنْهُ. (
TA [but this seems to be a mistake for اقتصّ لَهُ.]) You say, اقصّ فُلَانًا مِنْ فُلَانٍ He (a governor, or prince,) retaliated for such a one upon such a one, (
S,
K,) by wounding the latter like as he had wounded the former, (
S,

S,
K;) and the like. (
TA.)
b2: اقصّ الرَّجُلُ مِنُ نَفْسِهِ The man gave power, or authority, to retaliate upon himself, (
K,
TA,) by doing to him the like of that which he had done, whether it be slaughter or mutilation or beating or wounding. (
TA.) [Whence the saying,] أَقْصَصْتُكَ الجُرْحَةَ (
tropical:) I authorize thee to adduce anything whereby to invalidate the testimony. (
A, *
TA, art. جرح.)
A2: ضَرَبَهُ حَتَّى أَقَصَّهُ مِنَ المَوْتِ, (
S,
K,) and عَلَى المَوْتِ ↓ قَصَّهُ, (
K,) He beat him until he made him to be near to death: (
S,
K:) and
Fr used to say, ضربه حتّى
أَقَصَّهُ المَوْتَ [meaning as above]. (
S.) You say [also], أَقْصَصْتُهُ عَلَى المَوْتِ [I made him to be near to death]. (
M.) And a poet says, فَقَدْ أَقْصَصْتَ أُمَّكَ بِالْهُزَالِ meaning, Thou hast made thy mother to be near to death. (
TA.)
b2: Fr also said, (
S,) المَوْتُ ↓ قَصَّهُ and أَقَصَّهُ المَوْتُ [in the
L and
TA قَصَّهُ مِنَ المَوْتِ and أَقَصَّهُ مِنْهُ, which seems to be a mistranscription,] both signifying Death became near to him: (
S,
K:) or he became at the point of death, and then escaped; (
TA;) and so أَقَصَّتْهُ شَعُوبُ: (
M:) and أَقَصَّ على المَوْتِ he became at the point of death. (

Az,
M,
K.) 6 تقاصّوا They made themselves quits, or even, one with another, by retaliation, (
M,
TA,) slaying for slaying, or wounding for wounding. (
M.) A poet says, فَرُمْنَا القِصَاصَ وَكَانَ التَّقَاص صُ حُكْمًا وَعَدْلًا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَا [And we sought retaliation so as to make a party quit, or even, with us; for people's making themselves quits, or even, one with another, by retaliation, is a statute, and an act of justice, appointed to the Muslims]: in which التَّقَاصُّ is an instance of a deviation from a general rule, as it presents two quiescent letters together in poetry; wherefore some relate it differently, saying, القِصَاصُ: and there is no other instance of the kind excepting one verse cited by
Akh: وَلَوْلَا خِدَاشٌ أَخَدْتُ دَوَاب بَ سَعْدٍ وَلَمْ أَعْطِهِ مَا عَلَيْهَا but Aboo-Is-hák thinks, that, if this verse be genuine, the right reading is دَوَابِبَ سَعْدٍ, as the making the duplication of a letter distinct is allowable in poetry; or رَوَاحِلَ سَعْدٍ. (
M,
TA.) This is the primary signification of the verb. (
TA.)
b2: and hence, (
A, *
Mgh, *
TA,) [or,
accord. to
Fei, the reverse is the case, (see 3,)] (
tropical:) They made themselves quits, or even, one with another, in a reckoning, (
S,
A,
Mgh,
K,) or other thing (
S,
A,
K) one withholding from another the like of what the latter owed him. (
Mgh.) 8 اقتصّ It (hair [or the like]) was, or became, cut, or clipped, or shorn, (

inf. n. إِقْصَاصٌ, signifies [also] He (the Sultán) slew him in retaliation. (
Msb.)
b2: اِقْتِصَاصٌ, as a
subst., [i. e., having no verb corresponding to the signification here following, though I do not see how this can be asserted, for one may certainly say اُقْتُصَّ مِنْهُ,] also signifies The being done to like as one has done, whether it be slaughter or mutilation or beating or wounding. (
TA.)
b3: See also 10.
10 استقصّ He sought, or demanded, retaliation, i. e., slaying for slaying, or wounding for wounding. (
M.)
b2: استقصّهُ He asked of him to retaliate for him: (
S,
A,
Msb,
K:) and ↓ اقتصّهُ signifies the same
accord. to the
K; but the author has been misled into saying this by misunderstanding the following passage in the O; تقصّص اثره مثل قَصَّهُ واقتصّهُ واستقصّهُ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُقِصَّهُ, in which واقتصّه terminates a clause. (
TA.) قَصٌّ (

Lth,
TA:)
pl. قِصَاصٌ [a
reg. pl. of the first]. (

M,
TA,) [He is more closely adherent to thee than the little hairs, or the hairs, of thy breast, &c.:] because as often as they are cut they grow [afresh]: (
As,
