عَكَّارٌ One who returns to the fight after fleeing or wheeling away. (S, * Mgh, O, * K.) It is said in a trad., أَنْتُمُ العَكَّارُونَ لَا الفَرَّارُونَ (S, Mgh, * O, TA) Ye are they who return to the fight; not they who flee. (Mgh, * TA.) And عَطَّافُونَ signifies the like. (TA.) طَعَامٌ مُعْتَكِرٌ Much food or wheat. (ISh, O.)

شهو

1 شَهِيَهُ and شَهَاهُ: see 8.

A2: شَهَا, aor. ـُ and شَهِىَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. شَهْوَةٌ; It [food &c.] was good, sweet, pleasant, or the like. (MA. [But this, the only meaning there assigned to these two verbs, I do not find elsewhere.]) 2 شَهَّيْتُهُ [I made him, or caused him, to desire, to long, or to desire eagerly]. (Msb.) b2: [and شهّى It excited desire, longing, eager desire, or appetence. For ex., in art. سمق in the K, يُشَهِّى is said of the سُمَّاق, or berry of the sumach, meaning It excites appetence.] b3: And شهّى الشَّىْءَ He, or it, caused the thing to be desired, longed for, or desired eagerly: made it to be good, sweet, pleasant, or the like. (MA.) One says, هٰذَا شَىْءٌ يُشَهِّى الطَّعَامَ i. e. [This is a thing that causes the food to be desired, &c.; that makes it sweet, &c.; or] that incites to desire, or eager desire, of the food. (S, TA.) b4: [And accord. to an explanation of the inf. n., تَشْهِيَةٌ, in the KL, شهّاهُ seems to signify also He said to him, I will give to thee what thou desirest, longest for, or eagerly desirest; agreeably with a rendering of the verb alone, as on the authority of that work, by Golius.]3 شاهاهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. مُشَاهَاةٌ, (TA,) He was, or became, like him; he resembled him. (K, TA.) A2: Also He jested, or joked, with him: (IAar, TA:) [and] so هَاشَاهُ. (K in art. هشو.) b2: And accord. to IAar, it is also used in relation to the smiting action of the [evil] eye [perhaps meaning He vied with him in smiting with the evil eye: see also 4]. (TA.) 4 اشهاهُ He gave him what he desired or eagerly desired. (K.) b2: And He smote him with an [evil] eye: (K:) in this sense [said to be] formed by transposition from أَشَاهَهُ. (TA.) A2: مَا أَشْهَاهَا إِلَىَّ means that she is desired, or eagerly desired, [i. e. How great an object of desire is she to me!] as though it were from شُهِىَ, though this was not said: and مَا أَشْهَانِى لَهَا means that thou art desiring, or eagerly desiring, [i. e. How desirous, or eagerly desirous, am I of her!] so says Sb. (TA.) 5 تشهّى He demanded with repeated desire. (K, TA.) So in the saying, (TA,) تشهّى عَلَى

فُلَانٍ كَذَا (S, TA) [He demanded with repeated desire, of such a one, such a thing]. b2: See also what next follows.8 اشتهاهُ (S, &c.) He desired it, or longed for it: (Msb:) he loved it; and desired it, or wished for it: (K:) or he desired it eagerly, or intensely: (M in art. فرس: [see an ex. in a poetical citation voce فَرَّسَ:]) and ↓ شَهِيَهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K;) as also ↓ شَهَاهُ, aor. ـُ (Az, Msb, K;) inf. n. شَهْوَةٌ (S, TA) and شَاهِيَةٌ, which last is an inf. n. [of a rare class] like عَاقِبَةٌ; (TA;) signifies the same: (S, Msb, K:) and so does ↓ تشهّاهُ. (K.) [See what next follows.]

شَهْوَةٌ [mentioned above as an inf. n.] is a word of well-known meaning; (S;) Desire, or longing, or yearning, of the soul for a thing; (Er-Rághib, Msb, TA;) [meaning for a thing gratifying to sense: or eager, or intense, desire; particularly for such a thing; for] it has a more intensive signification than إِرَادَةٌ; and the intelligent agree in opinion that it is not commendable: (M in art. فرس:) [being either lawful or unlawful, it may be rendered as above: or appetite: or appetence: or lust: or carnal lust:] in the present state of existence, it is of two sorts, صَادِقَةٌ [i. e. true], and كَاذِبَةٌ [i. e. false]; the former being that without which the body becomes in an unsound state, as the شَهْوَة [or desire &c.] for food on the occasion of hunger; and the latter being that without which the body does not become in an unsound state: and sometimes it is applied to the object of desire &c., or thing desired &c.: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and agreeably with this last explanation the first of the following pls. is used in the Kur iii.

12: (Ksh, Bd, Jel:) sometimes also it is applied to the faculty to which a thing is made an object of desire &c.: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [also, to the gratification of venereal lust; thus in the K in art. شفر; see شَفِرَتْ and شَفِرَةٌ:] the pl. is شَهَوَاتٌ (Msb, TA) and أَشْهِيَةٌ and شُهًى; the last mentioned by AHei, and a rare instance of a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ from a sing. of the measure فَعْلَةٌ having an infirm letter for its last radical, like جُهًى pl. of جَهْوَةٌ [and like قُرًى pl. of قَرْيَةٌ]. (TA.) [الشَّهْوَتَانِ means The two appetites, that of the stomach and that of the generative organ.]

الشَّهْوَةُ الخَفِيَّةُ [The latent desire &c.] mentioned in a trad. is said to be any act of disobedience which one conceives in his mind, and upon which he resolves: or one's seeing a beautiful young woman, and lowering his eyes, then looking with his heart, and imaging her to his mind, and so tempting himself. (JM.) [شَهْوَةُ الطِّينِ, lit. The longing for clay, is app. used as a general term for malacia: see حُمَّاضٌ.]

شَهْوَانُ (S, Msb, K, TA) and ↓ شَهْوَانِىٌّ and ↓ شَهِىٌّ, (K, TA,) applied to a man, Desirous, or longing; (S, * Msb, * K, * TA;) or very desirous or longing; greedy; or voracious: (TA:) fem. (of the first, Msb) شَهْوَى: (Msb, K, TA:) pl. [of the first] شَهَاوَى, (K, TA,) like سَكَارَى [pl. of سَكْرَانُ]. (TA.) [See an ex. of the pl. in a verse cited voce جَرْدَبَانٌ.] One says, رَجُلٌ شَهْوَانُ لِلشَّىْءِ [A man desirous &c. of the thing]. (S.) شَهْوَانِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

شَهِىٌّ i. q. ↓ مُشْتَهًى (S, Msb) [i. e. Desired, longed for, or eagerly desired:] or pleasant, delicious, or sweet: (Msb, TA:) applied to food, (S,) and to water. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] أَبُو الشَّهِىِّ (assumed tropical:) The بَرْبَط [or Persian lute]. (KL.) b3: [and Golius adds, as on the authority of a gloss in a copy of the KL, (assumed tropical:) The water-melon (anguria).]

A2: See also شَهْوَانُ.

شَهَّآءٌ A man having much, or frequent, desire or longing or eager desire. (TA.) [See also شَهْوَانُ.]

شَاهٍ [act. part. n. of 1; Desiring, or longing; &c.]. (Sb, TA.) A2: شَاهِى البَصَرِ A man sharp of sight: (S, K:) formed by transposition from شَائِهُ البَصَرِ. (S.) أَشْهَى [More, and most, desirable, or pleasant or delicious or sweet]. One says, هُوَ أَشْهَى إِلَىَّ مِنْ كَذَا [It is more desirable, or pleasant &c., to me, or in my estimation, than such a thing]. (Msb voce إِلَى.) See also another ex. in a verse cited voce إِلَى, in art. الو.

مُشْتَهًى: see شَهِىٌّ. b2: [Used as a subst., its pl. is مُشْتَهَيَاتٌ.]

بَلَدُ:
بالتحريك، يقال لكركرة البعير بلدة، لأنها تؤثّر في الأرض والبلادة التأثير، وأنشد سيبويه:
أنيخت، فألقت بلدة فوق بلدة، ... قليل بها الأصوات إلّا بغامها
وبذلك سمّيت البلدة لأنها موضع تأثير الناس.
وبلد في مواضع كثيرة، منها: البلد الحرام مكة، وقد بسط القول في مكة. وبلد وربما قيل لها بلط، بالطاء، قال حمزة: بلد اسمها بالفارسية شهراباذ، وفي الزيج: طول بلد ثمان وستون درجة ونصف وربع، وعرضها سبع وثلاثون درجة وثلث، وهي مدينة قديمة على دجلة فوق الموصل، بينهما سبعة فراسخ، وبينها وبين نصيبين ثلاثة وعشرون فرسخا، قالوا: إنما سميت بلط لأن الحوت ابتلعت يونس النبيّ، عليه السلام، في نينوى مقابل الموصل وبلطته هناك، وبها مشهد عمر بن الحسين ابن عليّ بن أبي طالب، رضي الله عنه، وقال عبد الكريم بن طاوس: بها قبر أبي جعفر محمد بن عليّ الهادي، باتفاق، وينسب إليها جماعة، منهم: محمد ابن زياد بن فروة البلدي، سمع أبا شهاب الحنّاط وغيره، روى عنه أبو القاسم عبد الله بن محمد بن عبد العزيز البغوي، وأحمد بن عيسى بن المسكين بن عيسى ابن فيروز أبو العباس البلدي، روى عن هاشم بن القاسم ومحمد بن معدان وسليمان بن سيف الحرّانيين وإسحاق بن زريق الرّسعني والزّبير بن محمد الرّهاوي، روى عنه أبو بكر الشافعي ومحمد بن إسماعيل الورّاق وعليّ بن عمر الحافظ وأبو حفص بن شاهين ويوسف بن عمر القوّاس، وكان ثقة كثير الحديث، مات بواسط سنة 323، وأبو العباس أحمد ابن إبراهيم يعرف بالإمام البلدي، صاحب عليّ بن حرب، كثير الحديث، روى عنه محمد وأحمد ابنا الحسن بن سهل وجماعة من العراقيين وغيرهم، والحسن وقيل الحسين والأول أصحّ ابن المسكين بن عيسى بن فيروز أبو منصور البلدي، حدث عن أبي بدر شجاع ابن الوليد ومحمد بن بشر العبدي ومحمد بن عبيد الطنافسي وأسود بن عامر شاذان، روى عنه يحيى بن صاعد والحسين بن إسماعيل المحاملي وعمر بن يوسف الزعفراني وجماعة سواهم، وأبو منصور محمد بن الحسين ابن سهل بن خليفة بن محمد يعرف بابن الصيّاح البلدي، حدث عن أحمد بن إبراهيم أبي العباس الإمام وسمع أبا عليّ الحسن بن هشام البلدي في سنة 346، روى عنه أبو القاسم عليّ بن محمد المصيصي، وأخوه أبو عبد الله أحمد بن الحسين البلدي، روى عن عليّ بن حرب، روى عنه أبو القاسم المصيصي أيضا، وماتا بعد الأربعمائة، وأبو منصور محمد بن عليّ بن محمد بن الحسن بن سهل بن خليفة بن الصياح البلدي، حدث عن جدّه، روى عنه أبو الحسن عليّ بن أحمد بن يوسف الهكّاري القرشي، وعليّ بن محمد بن عليّ بن عطاء أبو سعيد البلدي، روى عن جعفر بن محمد بن الحجاج وثوّاب بن يزيد بن شوذب الموصليّين عن يوسف ابن يعقوب بن محمد الأزهري وغيرهم، روى عنه محمد بن الحسن الخلّال وجماعة سواه، وأبو الحسن
محمد بن عمر بن عيسى بن يحيى البلدي، روى عن أحمد بن إبراهيم الإمام البلدي ومحمد بن العباس بن الفضل بن الخيّاط الموصلي، روى عنه أحمد بن علي الحافظ، مات في سنة 410، وعليّ بن محمد بن عبد الواحد بن إسماعيل أبو الحسن البزاز البلدي، سمع المعافى بن زكرياء الجريري، روى عنه أبو بكر الخطيب وسأله عن مولده فقال: ولدت ببغداد سنة 373، قال: وولد أبي ببلد، ومات سنة 447، ومحمد ابن زريق بن إسماعيل بن زريق أبو منصور المقري البلدي، سكن دمشق وحدث بها عن أبي يعلى الموصلي ومحمد بن إبراهيم بن المنذر النيسابوري، وأبو عليّ الحسن بن هشام بن عمرو البلدي، روى عن أبي بكر أحمد بن عمر بن حفص القطراني بالبصرة عن محمد بن الطّفيل عن شريك والصّلت بن زيد عن ليث عن طاووس عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم: أنتم الغرّ المحجّلون، الحديث، روى عنه محمد بن الحسين البلدي.
والبلد أيضا: يقال لمدينة الكرج التي عمّرها أبو دلف وسمّاها البلد، ينسب إليها بهذا اللفظ جماعة، منهم: أبو الحسن عليّ بن إبراهيم بن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن البلدي يعرف بعلان الكرجي، روى عن الحسين بن إسحاق التّستري وعبدان العسكري، وسليمان بن محمد بن الحسين بن محمد القصّاري البلدي أبو سعد المعروف بالكافي الكرجي قاضي كرج، سمع أبا بكر محمد بن أحمد بن باحة وأبا سهل غانم بن محمد بن عبد الواحد وأبا المحاسن عبد الواحد بن إسماعيل الرّوياني وغيرهم. والبلد: نسف بما وراء النهر، ينسب إليها هكذا: أبو بكر محمد بن أبي نصر أحمد بن محمد بن ابي نصر البلدي الإمام المحدث المشهور من أهل نسف، سمع أبا العباس جعفر بن محمد المستغفري وغيره، روى عنه خلق كثير، وحفيده أبو نصر أحمد بن عبد الجبار بن أبي بكر محمد البلدي، كان حيّا سنة 551، وأجداده يعرفون بالبلدي، فإنما قيل لجدّه ذلك لأن أكثر أهل نسف زمن جدّه أبي نصر كانوا من القرى وكان أبو نصر من أهل البلد فعرف بالبلدي، فبقي عليه وعلى أعقابه من بعده.
والبلد أيضا: يراد به مرو الرّوذ، نسب إليها هكذا: أبو محمد بن أبي عليّ الحسن بن محمد البلدي، شيخ صالح من أهل بنج ده، قيل لوالده البلدي لأنه كان من أهل مرو الروذ، وأهل بنج ده هم أهل القرى الخمس، فلما سكنها قيل له البلدي لذلك، مات سنة 548 أو 549، كذا قال أبو سعد في النسب وقال في التحبير: محمد بن الحسن بن محمد البلدي أبو عبد الله الصوفي من بلد مرو الروذ سكن بنج ده، شيخ صالح راغب في الخير وأهله، سمع القاضي أبا سعيد محمد بن عليّ بن أبي صالح الدّبّاس، كتبت عنه، مات سنة 550، ولعلّه هو الأول فإنهما لم يختلفا إلّا في الكنية والوفاة قريبة.
وبلد أيضا: بليدة معروفة من نواحي دجيل قرب الحظيرة وحربى من أعمال بغداد، لا أعرف من ينسب إليها.
بَلْدٌ:
بالفتح، وسكون اللام: جبل بحمى ضريّة بينه وبين منشد مسيرة شهر، كذا قال أبو الفتح نصر، هذا كلام سقيم.

سر

1 سَرَّهُ, accord. to the TA, has two contr. significations: for it is there stated that “ one says سَرَرْتُهُ meaning كَتَمْتُهُ and سَرَرْتُهُ meaning أَعْلَنْتُهُ: ” and it is added that “ it will occur again soon: ” but it does not again occur in that work, nor have I found it in any other lexicon: I therefore think that it is a mistranscription, for أَسْرَرْتُهُ, first Pers\. of أَسَرَّهُ, q. v.]

A2: سَرَّهُ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (MS,) inf. n. مَسَرَّةٌ (S, O, K) and سُرُورٌ [which latter, from the explanations of it which will be found below, seems to be generally, if not only, as an inf. n., that of سُرَّ,] and سُرٌّ [which is also syn. with سُرُورٌ in the senses assigned to the latter below] and سُرَّى and تَسِرَّةٌ [which last may be also an inf. n. of ↓ سرّرهُ expl. by Freytag as syn. with سَرَّهُ in the sense here following, but without an indication of any authority], (O, K,) He, or it, rejoiced him; gladdened him; or made him happy; syn. أَفْرَحَهُ: (Msb, K:) [or made him to experience a pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there was no external sign: see سُرُورٌ, below.] And سُرَّ, [inf. n. سُرُورٌ, (see above,)] He rejoiced; was joyful, or glad; or was happy: (S, * A, * K:) [or he experienced a pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there was no external sign; accord. to an explanation of سُرُورٌ:] you say, سُرَّ بِهِ and ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّ [He rejoiced, was joyful or glad, or was happy, by reason of him, or it]. (A.) b2: سَرَّهُ, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) also signifies He saluted him with [the offering of what are termed] المَسَرَّة, i. e. the extremities of sweet-smelling plants. (K.) A3: Also سَرَّهُ, (S, M,) aor. as above, inf. n. سَرٌّ, (S,) or سِرٌّ, (so in a copy of the M,) He cut his (a child's) سِرَر, or سُرّ, i. e. navel-string. (S, M.) and سُرَّ He (a child) had his navel-string cut. (K.) b2: And سَرَّهُ, aor. as above, He pierced him, or thrust him, [with a spear or the like,] in his سُرَّة [or navel]: a poet says, وَإِنْ أَدْبَرُوا فَهُمُ مَنْ يُسَبْ نَسُرُّهُمُ إِنْ هُمُ أَقْبَلُوا [We pierce them in the navel if they advance; and if they retreat, they are those who are pierced in the podex; يُسَبْ being for يُسَبُّ]. (S.) A4: سَرَّ الزَّنْدَ, aor. as above, inf. n. سَرٌّ, He put a piece of wood, (M, K,) or a little piece of wood, (S,) in the interior of the زند [or piece of stick, or wood, for producing fire], (M,) or in its extremity, (S, K,) inserting it in its interior, (S,) in order that he might produce fire with it. (S, M, K.) One says, سُرَّ زَنْدَكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَسَرُّ Fill up the interior of thy زند, that it may produce fire, (AHn, M,) for it is [worn] hollow. (S, K.) A5: سَرَّ, [sec. Pers\. سَرِرْتَ,] aor. ـَ (IAar, Sgh, L, K,) inf. n. سَرَرٌ, remarked upon by MF as extr., [though it is agreeable with a general rule,] said of a man, (TA,) He had a complaint of the سُرَّة [or navel]. (IAar, Sgh, L, K.) b2: Also, aor. and inf. n. as in the next preceding case, said of a camel, He had the pain, or disorder, termed سَرَرٌ [q. v.]. (IAar, M.) 2 سَرَّّ see 1, second sentence.

A2: سَرَّرْتُهُ in the phrase سَرَّرْتُهُ سُرِّيَّةً I gave him, or caused him to take, a concubine slave, doubly trans., is [said to be] changed to سَرَّيْتُهُ for alleviation of the pronunciation. (Msb.) A3: سرّرهُ, inf. n. تَسْرِيرٌ, said of water, It reached his سُرَّة [or navel]. (K.) 3 سارّهُ, inf. n. مُسَارَّةٌ and سِرَارٌ, (S, M,) [He spoke, or discoursed, secretly to him or with him;] he acquainted him with a secret. (M.) You say, سارّهُ فِى أُذُنِهِ He spoke secretly to him in his ear. (S, * K, * TK.) And كَانَ يُحَدِّثُهُ كَأَخِى السِّرَارِ occurs in a trad., meaning He (Mohammad) used to talk to him ('Omar) in a low voice, like him who is telling a secret. (TA.) b2: بَيْعُ السِّرَارِ is The selling in which one says, “I will put forth my hand and thou shalt put forth thy hand, and if I produce my signet-ring before thee, it is a sale for such a price; and if thou produce thy signet-ring before me, for such a price: ” if they produce together, or do not both produce, they do thus again. (Mgh.) 4 اسرّهُ, (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِسْرَارٌ; (Msb;) [and accord. to the TA سَرَّهُ; but see the first sentence of this art.;] He concealed it; suppressed it; kept it secret; (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) namely, a story, or the like: (A, Mgh, Msb:) and, contr., he manifested it; revealed it; published it; made it known. (S, M, Msb, K.) Both of these significations have been assigned to the verb in the phrase وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ, in the Kur [x. 55 and xxxiv. 32]: (S:) some say, that the meaning is They will manifest repentance: Th says, they will conceal it from their chiefs: the former [says ISd] is the more correct: (M:) the former meaning is also given on the authority of AO; but Sh says, I have not heard it on the authority of any other; and Az says that the lexicologists most strongly disapprove of the saying of AO; and it is said that the meaning is, they, the chiefs of the polytheists, will conceal repentance from the lower class of their people, whom they shall have caused to err; and in like manner say Zj and the [other] expositors. (TA.) In like manner also the two contr. significations are assigned to the verb in the saying of Imra-el- Keys, [in his Mo'allakah,] لَوْ يُسِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى, which As used to quote with ش, thus, لَوْ يُشِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى, meaning that they might publish, or make known, my slaughter. (S.) You say also, أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِ حَدِيثًا He revealed unto him a story (S, K) secretly. (TA.) An ex. occurs in the Kur lxvi. 3. (TA.) And أَسْرَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ المَوَدَّةَ, and بِالمَوَدَّةِ, I showed, or manifested, to him love, or affection. (S.) It is said in the Kur [lx. 1], تُسِرُّونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ, meaning, Ye reveal to them the news of the Prophet by reason of the love that is between you and them; the objective complement of the verb being suppressed: or المودّة may be an objective complement, the ب being a redundant corroborative, as in أَخَذَ الخِطَامَ and أَخَذَ بِهِ: (Msb:) and this interpretation is correct; for إِسْرَارٌ to a person necessarily implies revealing a secret to him and at the same time concealing it from another. (B.) b2: وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَاعَةً, in the Kur xii. 19, signifies And they concealed, or kept secret, his case, making him as an article of merchandise: (Jel:) or they conjectured in their minds that they should obtain, by selling him, merchandise. (TA.) [See also an ex. voce اِرْتَغَى, in art. رغو.] b3: اسرّ الفَاتِحَةَ, and بِالفَاتِحَةِ, He recited the Fátihah [or First Chapter of the Kur-án] secretly, or inaudibly: (Msb:) or the latter form of expression is a mistake. (Mgh.) b4: أَسْرَرْتُهُ also signifies نَسَبْتُهُ إِلَى السِّرِّ [which may mean either I attributed it to secrecy, or, like many phrases of this kind, by inversion, I attributed to him secrecy, or mystery]. (Msb.) 5 تسرّر and تسرّى, (M, K,) and ↓ استسرّ, (K,) He took to himself a concubine-slave. (M, * K, * TA.) And تَسَرَّرْتُ جَارِيَةً, and تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (S,) and ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (TA,) I took to myself a girl, or young woman, as a concubine-slave. (S, * TA.) تَسَرَّرْتُهَا is [said to be] thus changed to تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (T, S, Msb,) for alleviation of the pronunciation, (Msb,) on account of the three ر s following one another, (T,) being like تَظَنَّنْتُ and تَظَنَّيْتُ. (T, * S.) Lth says that تسرّيت is a mistake; but Az says that it is correct. (TA.) ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّنِى

occurs in a trad. as signifying He took me to himself as a concubine-slave; but by rule one should say تَسَرَّرَنِى, or تَسَرَّانِى: as to ↓ استسرّنى, it [more properly] signifies “ He revealed to me his secret. ” (TA.) b2: تَسَرَّرَ فُلَانٌ بِنْتَ فُلَانٍ [as though signifying Such a one took to himself the daughter of such a one as a concubine-slave] is said when a man of low birth takes as his wife a woman or girl of high birth because of the abundance of his property and the littleness of hers. (M.) 6 تسارّوا They spoke, or discoursed, secretly together; acquainted one another with secrets. (S, K.) [See also 3.]

A2: تسارّإِلَى ذٰلِكَ (tropical:) He experienced pleasure, or delight, at that: as, for instance, at his scratching a part of his body, or pressing, or kneading, it; and at a thing disliked by another person. (A, TA.) [But I am in some doubt as to the correctness of this, and incline to think that it is a mistake for ↓ استسرّ.]10 استسرّ He, or it, became concealed; or he, or it, concealed himself or itself: (K:) it (a thing, or an affair,) became hidden or concealed or secret: (A, Msb:) it (the moon) became concealed (S, M, A, TA) by the light of the sun, (TA,) [i. e. by its proximity to the sun,] for one night, or for two nights. (AO, S.) A2: استسرّهُ He took extraordinary pains in concealing it, or keeping it secret. (TA.) b2: See also 5, in four places. b3: اِسْتَسَرَّنِى He revealed to me his secret. (TA.) A3: See also 1; and see 6, last sentence.

سَرٌّ A man who rejoices, or gladdens, another; or makes him happy; (S, K;) [and so ↓ سَارٌّ:] fem. سَرَّةٌ; with which ↓ سَارَّةٌ is syn. (Lh, M, K.) You say رَجُلٌ بَرٌّ سَرٌّ A man who treats with goodness and affection and gentleness, and rejoices &c., (S, K, TA,) his brethren: (TA:) pl. بَرُّونَ سَرُّونَ. (S, K.) سُرٌّ: see سُرُورٌ: A2: and سِرٌّ, last sentence but one.

A3: It is also a contraction of سُرُرٌ, pl. of سَرِيرٌ. (Sb, M.) A4: Also, and ↓ سِرَرٌ, (S, M, K,) and ↓ سَرَرٌ, (S, K, in the CK سُرَر,) The navel-string of a child; i. e. the thing that the midwife cuts off from the navel (سُرَّة) of a child; (S, K;) the thing that hangs from the navel (سُرَّة) of a newborn child, and that is cut off: or ↓ سِرَرٌ signifies the part that is cut off thereof, and that goes away: (M:) pl. (of سِرَرٌ, S, [or of سُرٌّ or سَرَرٌ,]) أَسِرَّةٌ, (Yaakoob, S, M, K,) which is extr. (M.)
