He gave an alms in which was no making an exception by following it up with a condition]. (S, A, O, Msb. *) b8: عَقَّبَنِى حَقِّى He delayed, or deferred, the giving, or paying, to me my due. (S.) b9: عقّب الأَمْرَ He looked to the consequence, end, issue, or result, of the affair, event, or case. (TA. [See also 5.]) b10: And عقّب فِى الأَمْرِ He went repeatedly to and fro, or made repeated efforts, in seeking to accomplish the affair, striving, or exerting himself. (S, O, L, TA.) In the K, التَّعْقِيبُ [the inf. n.] is expl. as signifying التَّرَدُّدُ فِى طَلَبِ المَجْدِ: but the right reading is فِى طَلَبٍ مُجِدًّا. (TA.) [See also مُعَقِّبٌ.]

A2: عقّب said of the [plant called] عَرْفَج, (S, O,) inf. n. تَعْقِيبٌ, (K,) It became yellow in its fruit, (S, O, K,) and attained to the season of its drying up: (S, O:) from عَقِبَ said of a plant or herbage. (TA.) A3: عقّب عُقَابًا, inf. n. as above, He planed off a stone of the kind called عُقَاب, in a well. (TA. [See also مُعَقِّبٌ.]) A4: See also 1, last quarter, in two places.3 عاقبهُ: see 1, second sentence. b2: Also عاقب الرَّجُلَ, (Mgh, * TA,) inf. n. مُعَاقَبَةٌ and عِقَابٌ, (Mgh,) He did a thing with the man alternately, each taking his turn; (Mgh, TA;) and so ↓ اعقبهُ. (TA.) And [particularly], (TA,) inf. n. مُعَاقَبَةٌ, (S, O,) He rode in his turn after the man, each riding in his turn; (S, O, TA;) as also ↓ اعقبهُ, (S, O, K,) and ↓ اعتقبهُ. (TA.) And عَاقَبْتُ الرَّجُلَ فِى الرَّاحِلَةِ I rode in my turn after the man, upon the camel, he riding in his turn after me. (S, O.) And in like manner you say, ↓ اِعْتَقَبُوهُ, and ↓ تَعَاقَبُوهُ They rode by turns with him, taking their turns after him. (TA.) b3: and عاقب بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ [He made an interchange, or alternation between the two things; he made the two things interchangeable, or commutable;] he brought, or did, the two things interchangeably, or alternately, i. e. one of them one time and the other of them another time. (TA.) [Thus, for instance,] العَرَبُ تُعَاقِبُ بَيْنَ الفَآءِ والثَّآءِ [The Arabs make an interchange between ف and ث; make ف and ث interchangeable, or commutable; i. e. put ف in the place of ث, and ث in the place of ف]; as in جَدَفٌ and جَدَثٌ; and ↓ تُعْقِبُ signifies the same. (S, O.) b4: And عاقب signifies also He stood upon one of his legs one time and upon the other another time; or moved his legs alternately. (TA.) b5: [عاقبهُ as denoting consequence, and retaliation, or retribution, also signifies He punished him.] You say, عاقبهُ بِذَنْبِهِ, (S, Msb, * TA,) inf. n. عِقَابٌ (S, Msb, TA) and مُعَاقَبَةٌ, (Msb, TA,) He punished him for his crime, sin, fault, or offence: (S, * Msb, * TA:) and [in like manner] ↓ تعقّبهُ He punished him (i. e. a man, S, O) for a crime, a sin, a fault, or an offence, that he had committed. (S, O, K.) In the saying in the Kur [xvi. last verse but one], وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا بِــمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُمٌ بِهِ [And if ye punish, then punish ye with the like of that with which ye have been afflicted, lit. punished], the verb first denotes punishment, and is afterwards used for the purpose of assimilation: and similar to this is the saying in the same [xxii. 59], وَمَنْ عَاقَبَ بِــمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبَ بِهِ [And whoso punisheth with the like of that with which he hath been afflicted, lit. punished]. (O.) For another ex., from the Kur lx. 11, [where it implies retaliation or retribution,] see 1, latter half. [In like manner,] it is said in a trad., أَبْطَلَ النَّفْحَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُضْرَبَ فَيُعَاقِبَ [He made the kicking of a beast with the hind leg to be of no account unless it were beaten by its master, or rider, and retaliated by kicking another person]; meaning, he made nothing to be incumbent on the master of the beast unless the latter made the kicking to be a consequence of that [i. e. unless the beast kicked in consequence of its being beaten by the master, or rider]. (TA.) [See also 4, which has a similar meaning, that of requital.] b6: عُوقِبَتْ said of a mare means She was required to perform run after run. (Ham p. 277.) 4 اعقبهُ: see 1, first quarter, in three places: b2: and see 3, in three places. b3: [Also He made him to take his place. And hence,] He descended from his beast in order that he (another) might ride in his turn: and one says also أَعْقِبْ meaning Descend thou in order that I may ride in my turn: and in like manner with respect to any kind of action: thus, when the office of Khaleefeh became transferred from the sons of Umeiyeh to the Háshimees, Sudeyf, the poet of the 'Abbásees, said, أَعْقِبِى آلَ هَاشِمٍ يَا مَيَّا meaning Descend from the station of the Khaleefehs that the family of Háshim may mount, O Meiyà [for O sons of Umeiyeh]. (TA.) b4: [And It made a thing to follow as a consequence to him: the verb in this sense being doubly trans.] One says, اعقبهُ نَدَمًا It occasioned him as its consequence repentance, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) and هَمًّا anxiety. (TA.) And أَكَلَ أَكْلَةً أَعْقَبَتْهُ سَقَمًا He ate a repast that occasioned him as its consequence a sickness. (S, O.) And [hence] أُعْقِبَ عِزُّهُ ذُلًّا His might was exchanged for, or changed into, [lit. made to be followed by,] abasement. (TA.) See also 2, first quarter, for another ex. [Hence, likewise,] فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا, in the Kur [ix. 78], means [Therefore He caused hypocrisy to follow as a consequence to them; or] He caused them to err, because of their evil deed, as a punishment to them. (O.) And [in like manner] one says, أَعْقَبَهُ اللّٰهُ بِإِحْسَانِهِ خَيْرًا [God gave him, or may God give him, as a recompense, or requital, for his beneficence, good, or prosperity]. (TA.) And اعقبهُ بِطَاعَتِهِ He recompensed, or requited, him for his obedience, (S, O, K, *) and عَلَى مَا صَنَعَ for what he did. (TA. [See also 3, which has a similar meaning, that of retribution.]) اعقبهُ خَيْرًا means also He gave him in exchange good. (TA.) See also 1, latter half, where the verb is expl. in the contr. sense, that of taking, or receiving, in exchange. b5: اعقبهُ الطَّائِفُ The diabolical visitation, or insanity, returned to him at times. (S, O.) b6: اعقب طَىَّ البِئْرِ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا [is app. from

أَعْقَابُ الطَّىِّ (see عَقِبٌ), and] means He laid stones compactly together at the back [behind the regular casing] of the well. (TA. [See also 1, near the end.]) A2: اعقب as intrans., He (a man) died, and left offspring. (S, O, K.) One says, أَعْقَبَ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلَانِ وَدَرَجَ وَاحِدٌ [Two men of them died and left offspring, and one died and left no offspring]: and Tufeyl El-Ghanawee says, كَرِيمَةُ حُرِّ الوَجْهِ لَمْ تَدْعُ هَالِكًا

↓ مِنَ القَوْمِ هُلْكًا فِى غَدٍ غَيْرَ مُعْقِبِ [A female noble of countenance, (or whose nobility was manifest in what appeared of her countenance,) she did not invoke one of the people dead, on a morrow after an engagement, as having perished without leaving a successor, or one to fill his place:] i. e. when a chief of her people died, another chief came; so that she did not bewail a chief who had not his equal. (TA.) b2: He (a borrower of a cooking-pot) returned a cooking-pot with the remains termed عُقْبَة in it. (S, O, K.) b3: He (a man) returned from evil to good. (TA.) b4: اعقب عَلَيْهِ يَضْرِبُهُ He set upon him beating him. (O.) b5: أَعْقَبَتْ رَاحِلَتُكَ Thy riding-camel became, or has become, jaded, or fatigued. (O.) 5 تعقّب He looked to the consequence, end, issue, or result: and he considered a second time. (TA. [See also 2, last quarter.]) b2: تعقّب مِنْ أَمْرِهِ He repented of his affair. (TA.) b3: تعقّب عَنِ الخَبَرِ He doubted of the information, or questioned it, and asked again respecting it. (S, O, K, TA. [In my copies of the S, and in the O, الخَيْرِ: but see what follows; in which مُتَعَقَّب is used as a noun of place of the verb in this sense.]) Tufeyl says, ↓ وَلَمْ يَكُ عَمَّا خَبَّرُوا مُتَعَقَّبُ [And there was no place of, or ground for, doubting, and asking again, respecting what they told]. (S, O, TA.) And one says, لَمْ أَجِدْ عَنْ قَوْلِكَ

↓ مُتَعَقَّبًا, (A, TA,) i. e. [I found not] any place of, or ground for, inquiring into, or investigating, thy saying; syn. مُتَفَحَّصًا; (A, TA;) [or questioning it; or returning to examine it;] meaning, thy saying was right and true, so that it did not require التَّعَقُّب; (A;) or I did not allow myself to doubt, and ask again, respecting it, that I might see whether I should do what thou saidst or abstain from it. (TA.) b4: [And the verb is used transitively in a similar sense.] You say, تعقّب الخَبَرَ He searched after the information repeatedly, or time after time; (Mgh, * TA;) syn. تَتَبَّعَ: (Mgh, TA:) and ↓ اعتقب has a like meaning. (Ham p. 287.) And He asked respecting the information another person than the one whom he asked the first time. (A, TA.) b5: and تَعَقَّبْتُ الرَّجُلَ I sought to discover in the man that which he would be ashamed to expose; or the slip, or fault, that he had committed: and ↓ اِسْتَعْقَبْتُهُ signifies the same. (O, K. *) [In critical observations and the like, تعقّبهُ is often used as meaning He found fault with him; animadverted upon him; or impugned his judgment or assertion; بِقَوْلِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا by his saying so and so. and تعقّب عَلَيْهِ seems to be similarly used as meaning He animadverted upon his saying: (compare اِعْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ:) but more commonly as meaning he animadverted upon it, i. e. a saying, and the like.] b6: See also 3, near the middle of the para-graph. b7: تعقّب الأَمْرَ He thought repeatedly upon the affair, or case. (TA in art. روأ.) b8: تعقّب رَأْيَهُ He found his opinion to have a good issue, or result. (S, O. [See a somewhat similar signification of 8 and 10, under the former.]) b9: See also 1, second sentence. b10: [The saying of Aboo-Thumámeh, وَإِنْ مَنْطِقٌ زَلَّ عَنْ صَاحِبِى ↓ تَعَقَّبْتُ آخَرَ ذَا مُعْتَقَبْ may be rendered, nearly in accordance with an explanation by Et-Tebreezee, And if a speech slip by mistake from my companion, 1 substitute another having superiority: or تعقّبت may here mean I search out: but see the Ham p. 287; where are some remarks, on this verse, that appear to me to be fanciful and far-fetched.]6 يَتَعَاقَبَانِ (T, S, O, Msb, TA) They follow each other [by turns]; or alternate; (T, Msb, TA;) one coming and the other going; (TA;) said of the night and the day; (T, Msb;) or as the night and the day; (S, O, TA;) as also ↓ يَعْتَقِبَانِ. (TA.) You say, تَعَاقَبَ المُسَافِرَانِ عَلَى الدَّابَّةِ The two travellers rode upon the beast, each of them in his turn. (TA: and the like is said in the Msb.) And تعاقبا عَمَلًا They two did a work, or deed, by turns, or alternately: syn. اِرْتَوَحَاهُ, (K and TA in art. روح,) and تَرَاوَحَاهُ (TA in that art.) And تعاقبا They helped each other by turns. (TA.) And بِالضَّرْبِ ↓ يَعْتَقبَانِهِ They two ply him by turns with beating (A.) See also 3, near the beginning. التَّعَاقُبُ also signifies The coming to water [by turns, or] time after time. (TA.) 8 إِعْتَقَبَ see 1, former half, in two places: b2: and see 3, near the beginning, in two places; and 6, also in two places. b3: [اعتقبهُ signifies also He took it, or had it, subsequently. Thus one of the meanings of العُقْبَةُ is expl. in the A and TA by the words مَا يَعْتَقِبُونَهُ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ مِنَ الحَلَاوَةِ i. e. What they have, or take, after the main portion of the meal, consisting of sweetmeat. b4: And He had it, or experienced it, as a consequence of an act &c.: and that it may have ↓ مُعْتَقَبُ for an inf. n. in this sense (as well as in other senses agreeably with analogy) seems to be meant by its being said (in the Ham p. 287) that المُعْتَقَبُ signifies أَخْذُ عُقْبَةِ الشَّىْءِ i. e. آخِرِهِ. See also a somewhat similar signification of 5.] One says, فَعَلْتُ كَذَا فَاعْتَقَبْتُ مِنْهُ نَدَامَةً i. e. [I did such a thing and] I found, or experienced, in consequence thereof repentance; (S, O;) as also ↓ اِسْتَعْقَبْتُ. (A, O.) And مِنْ كَذَا خَيْرًا ↓ استعقب He found, or experienced, in consequence of such a thing, or after such a thing, good. (T, Msb.) And hence, perhaps, the saying of the lawyers, يَصِحُّ الشِّرَآءُ عِتْقًا ↓ إِذَا اسْتَعْقَبَ [as meaning The sale, or purchase, is valid when it has emancipation as an after-event]: but this does not agree with the former phrase unless by a far-fetched interpretation; and therefore one should say, إِذَا عَقَبَهُ العِتْقُ i. e. when emancipation follows it. (Msb.) b5: اعتقب also signifies He withheld, or detained, a thing in his possession. (TA.) And [particularly] He (a seller) withheld, or detained, an article of merchandise from the purchaser until he should receive the price: (S, A, O, K:) for the doing of which he is said in a trad. to be responsible; meaning, if it perish in his keeping. (S, A, O.) And He detained, confined, or imprisoned, a man. (S, O.) b6: See also 5.10 إِسْتَعْقَبَ see the next preceding paragraph, in three places: b2: and see also 1, latter half: b3: and 5. b4: [Accord. to Reiske, as mentioned by Freytag, استعقبهُ signifies also He followed his footsteps.]

عَقْبٌ: see عَقِبٌ, in eight places.

عُقْبٌ: see عَقِبٌ, in seven places.

عَقَبٌ The عَصَب [meaning sinews, or tendons,] of which أَوْتَار [i. e. strings for bows or the like] are made: (S, O, K: [see also 1, last quarter:]) n. un. with 3: (S, O:) or such as are white of the أَطْنَاب of the joints; (Mgh, Msb; [see عَصَبٌ;]) the عَصَب being such as are yellow: (Mgh and Msb in art. عصب:) accord. to IAth, the عَصَب [or sinews, or tendons,] of the two portions of flesh next the back-bone on either side, and of the سَاقَانِ and وَظِيفَانِ [meaning the hind and fore shanks], that are intermingled with the flesh, of any animal; the half of one whereof, divided lengthwise from the other half, is extended, or drown out, and trimmed, and cleansed of the flesh, and the وَتَر [or string for the bow or the like] is made thereof; and they are sometimes in the two sides of the camel; but [properly speaking] there is a difference between the عَصَب and the عقَب; the former being such as incline to yellow, whereas the latter incline to white, and are the harder, and firmer, or stronger, of the two: AHn says, on the authority of Aboo-Ziyád, that the عَقَب are [the sinews, or tendons,] of the two portions of flesh next the back-bone on either side, of the sheep or goat, and of the camel, and of the ox or cow,(TA.) [See also عِلْبَآءٌ.]

عَقِبٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ عَقْبٌ, (Msb, TA,) the latter being a contraction of the former, (Msb,) [The heel of a human being;] the hinder part of the foot of a human being: (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) of the fem. gender: (S, O, Msb:) pl. [of pauc.] أَعْقُبٌ (TA) and [of mult. as well as of pauc.] أَعْقَابٌ: (Msb, TA:) and ↓ عَقِيبٌ is said to signify the same; but MF cites an assertion that this is a word of a bad dialect. (TA.) وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ [Wo to the heels from the fire of Hell], (O, Msb, TA,) and ويل لِلْعَقِبِ من النّار [Who to the heel &c.], (TA,) occurring in a trad., means wo to him who neglects the washing of the heels in the ablution preparatory to prayer. (O, * Msb, TA. *) عَقِبُ الشَّيْطَانِ, (O, Msb, TA,) or, as some say, ↓ عُقْبَةُ الشيطان, (Msb, TA,) with damm, (TA,) which is forbidden in prayer, is expl. as meaning The placing the buttocks upon the heels between the two prostrations; which is what some term الإِقْعَآءُ: (Mgh, * O, Msb, TA:) so says A'Obeyd: (Msb:) or, accord. to some, this means the leaving the heels unwashed in the ablution preparatory to prayer. (O.) وَطِئَ النَّاسُ عَقِبَ فُلَانٍ [lit. The people trod upon the heel of such a one] means the people walked after, or near after, such a one: and in like manner, هُوَ مُوَطَّأُ العَقِبِ [lit. He is one whose heel is trodden upon]: (O, TA; *) because of his having command over people, and their being submissive to him: (O:) the latter phrase means he is one who has many followers: (A, TA: [see also art. وطأ:]) جَآءَ زَيْدٌ يَطَأُ عَقِبَ عَمْرٍو primarily signifies Zeyd came putting his foot in the place of the foot [or heel] of 'Amr every time that the latter raised his foot. (Msb.) And one says, مِنْ أَيْنَ عَقِبُكَ, (A, O,) or مِنْ أَيْنَ كَانَ عَقِبُكَ, (TA,) meaning Whence camest thou? or Whence hast thou come? (A, O, TA.) and رَجَعَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى عَقِبِهِ Such a one returned by the way of his heel; i. e., by the way that was behind him, and whence he had come; quickly. (Msb.) And وَلَّى عَلَى عَقِبِهِ, and عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ, He turned back, or receded, from a thing to which he had betaken himself. (TA.) لَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ, occurring in a trad., means Turn not thou them back to their former condition of not emigrating [for the sake of religion]: and مَا زَالُوا مُرْتَدِّينَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ, in another trad., means They ceased not to return to infidelity: as though they went back wards. (TA.) b2: The عَقِب of the نَعْل [or sandal] is The part [or wide strap] that embraces the heel. (AO, in an anom. MS. in my possession.) b3: [And عَقِبُ البَابِ means The pivot (generally of wood) at the bottom of the door, turning in a socket in the threshold.] b4: and عَقِبٌ and ↓ عَقْبٌ (TA) and ↓ عُقُبٌ and ↓ عُقْبٌ (S, O, Msb, K, TA) and ↓ عُقْبَى and ↓ عُقْبَةٌ and ↓ عُقْبَانٌ and ↓ عِقْبَانٌ and ↓ عَاقِبٌ (TA) are syn. with ↓ عَاقِبَةٌ, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) which signifies, (S, O, Msb, K,) i. e. as signifying, (TA,) The end; or the last, or latter, part or state; [but generally as explanatory of this last word, and often as explanatory of عُقُبٌ and عُقْبٌ and عُقْبَى, as meaning the consequence, or result, or issue;] of anything: (S, O, Msb, K, TA:) [and the same words, app. with the exception of عُقْبَى and عَاقِبَةٌ, signify also a time, or state, of subsequence:] the pl. [of the first four words is أَعْقَابٌ, and] of the last عَوَاقِبُ. (TA.) Hence, (S,) it is said in the Kur [xviii. 42], ↓ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ عُقُبًا [or ↓ عُقْبًا or ↓ عُقْبَى, accord. to different readings, i. e. He is the best in respect of recompense, or reward, and the best in respect of consequence, or result, or issue; i. e., the consequence of the actions &c. of believers]. (S, O.) And in the same [xci. last verse], ↓ وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا i. e. And He feareth not the consequence thereof. (Th, TA.) And they said, لَكَ فِى الخَيْرِ ↓ العُقْبَى meaning العَاقِبَةُ [i. e. May the end to thee be in that which is good; or may thy case end in good]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., سَافَرَ فِى عَقِبِ رَمَضَانَ, (T, O, Msb,) meaning He journeyed in the end, or the last, or latter, part, of Ramadán: (T, Msb:) or, when Ramadán had almost ended. (O.) One says, جِئْتُ فِى عَقِبِ رَمَضَانَ, (ISk, S, O, * Msb, *) with kesr to the ق, (ISk, S,) meaning [I came] when there was somewhat remaining of Ramadán. (ISk, S, O, * Msb.) And جِئْتُكَ فِى عَقِبِ الشَّهْرِ, and ↓ فى عَقْبِهِ, and عَلَى عَقِبِهِ, I came to thee in the latter part of the month, when ten days of it, or less, remained. (L.) هُوَ فِى عَقِبِ المَرَضِ He is in the state of convalescence in which somewhat remains of the disease: (Msb:) and فِى أَعْقَابِ المَرَضِ in the [state in which there are some] remains of the disease. (TA.) One says also, جَآءَ فِى عَقِبِهِ and ↓ عَقْبِهِ, meaning He came after him; or near after him; [as though at his heel; and hence, properly, close after him;] and جَآءَ عَقِبَهُ; from the phrase جَآءَ زَيْدٌ يَطَأُ عَقِبَ عَمْرٍو, meaning as expl. above. (Msb.) And بَنُو فُلَانٍ سَقْىُ إِبِلِهِمْ عَقِبَ بَنِى فُلَانٍ i. e. [The sons of such a one, the watering of their camels is] after [that of] the sons of such a one; a saying mentioned by ISk. (Msb.) And صَلَّيْنَا أَعْقَابَ الفَرِيضَةِ تَطَوُّعًا i. e. [We performed prayer] after the obligatory [by way of supererogation]. (Lh, IF, Msb, TA.) And جِئْتُ فِى عَقِبِ الشَّهْرِ i. e. I came after the month had passed. (El-Fárábee, Msb.) And خَلَفَ فُلَانٌ بعَقِبِى Such a one remained, or stayed, after me. (Msb.) Er-Rázee says, in the Mukhtár es-Siháh, that he had found no authority in the T nor in the S for the phrase جَآءَ فُلَانٌ عقبَ فُلَانٍ

[app. عَقِبَ], meaning Such a one came after such a one, except a similar saying of ISk, cited by Az, in which عقبَ is expl. as signifying after. (TA.) [But if the word in question be عَقِبَ, sufficient authorities for its use in this sense have been cited above: though it seems from what here follows that عُقُبَ or عُقْبَ in this sense is preferable.] One says, شَهْرِ ↓ جِئْتُ فِى عُقْبِ رَمَضَانَ, (S,) or ↓ عُقُبِهِ, (O,) and ↓ عَلَى عُقْبِهِ and ↓ عُقُبِهِ, (L,) and ↓ فِى عُقْبَانِهِ, (S, O,) meaning I came when the whole of the month of Rama-dán had passed: (S, O, L:) and ↓ جِئْتُكَ عُقْبَ رَمَضَانَ I came to thee at the end of Ramadán: and مَمَرِّهِ ↓ جِئْتُ فُلَانًا عَلَى عُقْبِ and ↓ عُقُبِهِ and عَقِبِهِ and ↓ عُقْبَانِهِ I came to such a one after he had gone: and ذَاكَ ↓ أَتَيْتُكَ عَلَى عُقُبِ and عَقِبَ ذاك and ذاك ↓ عَقْبِ and ذاك ↓ عُقْبَانِ I came to thee after that: and قُدُومِهِ ↓ جِئْتُهُ عُقْبَ I came to him after his arrival. (Lh, TA.) One says also, آلِ فُلَانٍ ↓ فُلَانٌ يَسْتَقِى عَلَى عُقْبَةِ Such a one draws water after the family of such a one. (TA.) And MF mentions ↓ جِئْتُكَ عَلَى عَاقِبِهِ [app. meaning I came to thee after him, or it]: and Aboo-Mis-hal mentions [app. in this sense] ↓ عِقْبَانِهِ, with kesr.

(TA.) The Arabs say, لَا عَقِبَ لَهُ, meaning There is, or are, no male offspring remaining to him: (TA:) and ↓ لَيْسَتْ لِفُلَانٍ عَاقِبَةٌ There is, or are, to such a one, no [remaining] child, or children.

One says, تَمَّتْ عُقْبَتُكَ Thy turn is completed. (S, O.) And دَارَتْ عُقْبَةُ فُلَانٍ The turn of such a one came round. (TA.) And رَكِبَ عُقْبَةً He rode one turn: and رَكِبَ عُقْبَتَهُ He rode his turn, or in his turn. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., مَنْ مَشَى عَنْ دَابَّتِةِ عُقْبَةً فَلَهُ كَذَا Whoso walks a turn to a certain point, instead of his beast, to him shall be given such a thing.

[but this I would rather render, Verily I have incumbent on me a turn to pasture and water camels; and I perform it; I am not a neglecter thereof nor a delayer of it]; meaning I drive the camels which I pasture and water in my turn, and I tend them well: مُنْسِيهَا is for مُنْسِئِهَا, for the sake of the rhyme. (TA.) b5: Also The place in which one mounts a beast to ride [app. in his turn]. (TA.) b6: And The distance, or space, of two leagues; i. e. twice the distance termed فَرْسَخ: and the distance to which one journeys [app. from one halting-place to the next; i. e. a stage of a journey]: pl. as above: a poet says, خَوْدًا ضِنَاكًا لَا تَسِيرُ العُقَبَا [Soft, or tender, heavy in the hinder part, that will not perform men's marches]; meaning that she will not [or cannot] journey with men, because she will not endure the doing so on account of her soft and delicate life.

(L, TA.) b10: And Pasture, or food, of an ostrich, that is eaten after other pasture or food: [and likewise of camels: and of men:] pl. as above. (AA, S, O.) One says of camels, رَعَتْ عُقْبَتَهَا i. e. They pastured upon the [kind of plants termed] حَمْض after the [kind termed] خُلَّة; (A, L;) or upon the خُلَّة after the حَمْض: (L:) and of men one says, أَكَلُوا عُقْبَتَهُمْ They ate their repast of sweetmeat after the other food. (A, TA. [See 8, near the beginning.]) b11: And The remains of the contents of a cooking-pot, adhering to the bottom.

لَقِىَ مِنْهُ عُقْبَةً He experienced from him, or it, difficulty. (TA. [But in a copy of the A, and in my opinion correctly, the last word in this phrase is written ↓ عَقَبَةً: see عَقَبَةٌ, below.]) b14: And كُنْتُ مَرَّةً نُشْبَة وَأَنَا اليَوْمَ عُقْبَة, expl. by IAar as meaning I was such that, when I clung to a man, he experienced evil from me; but now I have reverted from being such, through weakness. (TA. [It is a مَثَلٌ">prov., somewhat differently related in art. نشب, q. v.]) b15: See also the next paragraph, in four places.

عِقْبَةٌ (Lh, S, O, K) and ↓ عُقْبَةٌ, (Lh, O, K,) but the former is the more approved, (Lh, TA,) and عقب, (so in the TA, [app., if not a mistranscription, ↓ عَقِبٌ,]) A mark, sign, trace, impress, characteristic, or outward indication. (Lh, S, O, K.) One says, عَلَيْهِ عِقْبَةُ السَّرْوِ, (S, O,) and ↓ عُقْبَتُهُ, (O,) and الجَمَالِ, (S, O,) i. e. Upon him is the mark &c. [of generosity and manliness, and of beauty]. (S, O, K.) b2: عِقْبَةُ القَمَرِ and ↓ عَقْبَةُ القمر mean The return of the moon, when it has set, or disappeared, and then risen: (L:) [or the return of the moon after the change; for] one says, مَا يَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ إِلَّا عِقْبَةَ القَمَرِ, (S,) or ↓ عُقْبَةَ القمر, (so in the O,) meaning He does not that save once in each month: (S, O:) but, accord. to IAar, القَمَرِ ↓ عُقْبَةُ, with damm, is a certain star, or asterism, which is in conjunction with the moon once in the year; and عُقْبَةَ القَمَرِ means once in the year: so in the following verse, of one of the Benoo-'Ámir: لَا يُطْعِمُ المِسْكَ وَالكَافُورَ لِمَّتَهُ وَلَا الذَّرِيرَةَ إِلَّا عُقْبَةَ القَمَرِ [He will not apply to his hair that descends below the ear musk and camphor, nor the perfume called ذريرة, save once in the year]: or, as Lh relates it, عِقْبَةَ القمر: thus in the L; in which it is added that this saying of IAar requires consideration, because the moon cuts [a meridian of] the celestial sphere once in every month: but MF replies that it may be in conjunction with the said star only once in the year, as the moon's path varies in each successive month. (TA. [See also عَقْمَةٌ.]) A2: See also عَقْبَةٌ.

عَقَبَةٌ [A mountain-road;] a road in [or upon] a mountain: (Bd in xc. 11:) or a road in the upper part of a mountain: (Ham p. 287:) or a difficult place of ascent of the mountains: (K:) or it is in a mountain and the like thereof: (Msb:) or [it sometimes signifies] a long mountain that lies across the way, and over which the way therefore leads; long, or high, and very difficult; so called, too, when it is further impassable after it is ascended; rising high towards the sky, ascending and descending; most difficult of ascent; but sometimes its height is one [or uniform]; and its acclivity is in appearance like a wall: (TA:) [generally it means a road over, or up, or down, or over some part of, a mountain:] pl. عِقَابٌ. (S, O, Msb, K.) اِقْتَحَمَ العَقَبَةَ [properly signifying He attempted the mountain-road] is metaphorically used as meaning He entered upon a hard, or difficult, affair. (Bd in xc. 11.) See also عُقْبَةٌ, near the end. b2: It is also n. un. of عَقَبٌ [q. v.]. (S, O.) عُقْبَى: see عَقِبٌ, second quarter, in four places. b2: It occurs in a trad. respecting the prayer of fear; in which it is said of that prayer, كَانَتْ عُقْبَى [It was an affair of turns]; meaning that it was performed by one company after another; several companies performing it successively, by turns. (TA. [Compare عُقْبَةٌ as expl. in the third sentence of the paragraph on that word.]) b3: Also i. q. مرجع [app. مَرْجِعٌ i. e. A returning, &c.].

رَجُلٌ عِقِبَّانٌ A rough, coarse, or rude, man; syn. غَلِيظٌ: pl. عقبان [so in the TA, either عِقْبَانٌ or عُقْبَانٌ]: mentioned by Kr: but Az doubted its correctness. (TA.) عُقَابٌ [The eagle;] a certain bird, (S, O, K,) of those that prey, (Msb,) well known: (K:) of the fem. gender: (S, O, Msb:) [though] applied to the male and the female; but with this distinction, that you say of the male, هٰذَا عُقَابٌ ذَكَرٌ [This is a male eagle]: or it is only female; and a bird of another kind couples with it; whence Ibn-'Oneyn says, satirizing a person named Ibn-Seyyideh, Say thou to Ibn-Seyyideh, مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا كَالْعُقَابِ فَأُمُّهُ مَعْرُوفَةٌ وَلَهُ أَبٌ مَجْهُولُ [“ Thou art not other than the like of the eagle; ” for his mother is known, but he has a father unknown]: (MF, TA:) the pl. (of pauc., S, O) is أَعْقُبٌ, (S, O, K,) because it is of the fem. gender and the measure أَفْعُلٌ specially belongs to pls. of fem. nouns [though not to such exclusively], (S, O,) and أَعْقِبَةٌ, (Kr, TA,) and (of mult., S, O) عِقْبَانٌ (S, O, K) and عَقَائِبُ accord. to AHei, but Ed-Demámeenee thinks this to be strange; and pl. pl. عَقَابِينُ. (TA.) عِقْبَانُ الجِرْذَانِ [The eagles that prey upon the large field-rats] are not black, but of the colour termed كُهْبَة; and no use is made of their feathers, except that boys feather with them round-topped pointless arrows. (AHn, TA.) b2: [Hence,] العُقَابُ is the name of (assumed tropical:) One of the northern constellations, [i. e. Aquila,] the stars of which are nine within the figure, and six without, of the former of which are three well known, called النَّسْرُ الطَّائِرُ [q. v.]. (Kzw.) b3: [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) The عُقَاب of the banner, or standard; (S, O;) [app. meaning the flag attached to a lance;] what is bound [to a lance] for a prefect, or governor; likened to the bird so called; and of the fem. gender. (L, TA.) It is also the name of (assumed tropical:) The banner, or standard, of the Prophet. (O, K.) And عُقَابٌ also means (assumed tropical:) A large banner or standard. (TA.) And (assumed tropical:) i. q. غَايَةٌ: so in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, describing wine, لَهَا غَايَةٌ تَهْدِى الكِرَامَ عُقَابُهَا [meaning It has a banner, which guides the generous; like as the military banner guides and attracts warriors: for غَايَةٌ sometimes signifies a sign which the vintner used to set up to attract customers]: the repetition is approvable because of the difference of the two words in themselves: pl. عِقْبَانٌ. (TA.) b4: عُقَابٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A black she-camel; as being likened to the bird. [so called], (AA, O.) b5: And A stone (or piece of rock, L) protruding in the inside of a well, which lacerates the [leathern] bucket; (S, O, K, TA;) sometimes it is before [i. e. above] the casing [of stones or bricks]: it is when a mass of stone becomes displaced; and sometimes the water-drawer stands upon it: it is of the fem. gender: pl. as above. (TA.) And The stone upon which the waterer stands, (O, K,) [accord. to SM,] projecting beyond the casing in a well, the same that is meant in the next preceding sentence, (TA,) [but this I think doubtful, for Sgh adds,] between two stones which support it. (O.) Accord. to IAar, the قَبِيلَة is a mass of stone, or rock, at the mouth of a well; and the عُقَابَانِ are [two masses of stone] at the two sides of the قبيلة, supporting it. (TA.) And A rock, or mass of stone, projecting in the side of a mountain, like a stair, or series of steps: (S, O, K:) or an ascent, like stairs, in the side of a mountain. (TA.) b6: Also A hill; syn. رَابِيَةٌ. (O, K.) And Anything elevated, that is not very long or tall. (O, K. *) b7: A channel by which water flows to a trough, or tank.

(O, K.) b9: A small thread that enters into [or passes through] the two bores of the ring of the قُرْط [or ear-drop], (O, K, *) with which the latter is bound, or fastened: (O:) or, accord. to Az, the thread that binds the two extremities of the ring of the قُرْط. (TA.) b10: Accord. to Th, it signifies also Garments of the kind called أَبْرَاد [pl. of بُرْدٌ, q. v.]. (TA voce خُدَارِيَّةٌ.) b11: And accord. to Kr, [in the Munjid,] i. q. حَرْثٌ [app. meaning A ploughshare]. (TA.) b12: See also أَعْقَابٌ. b13: And العُقَابَانِ signifies Two pieces of wood between which a man is extended to be flogged: (L, TA:) or two pieces of wood which are set up, stuck in the ground, between which he who is beaten, or he who is [to be] crucified, is extended.

عَقُوبٌ: see عَاقِبٌ, near the end.

عَقِيبٌ Anything that is a sequent, of, or to, another thing; [in an absolute sense,] (S, Msb, TA,) as when you say, السَّلَامُ عَقِيبٌ لِلتَّشَهُّدِ [The salutation is a sequent to the تشهّد (q. v.)], and العِدَّةُ عَقِيبٌ لِلطَّلَاقِ [The عِدَّة (q. v.) is a sequent to divorcement], i. e., one follows the other; (Msb;) and [by alternation,] as when one says of the night and the day, كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَقِيبُ صَاحِبِهِ [Each of them is the alternating sequent of its correlative]: (Az, Msb, TA:) you say of the night and the day, هُمَا عَقِيبَانِ [They are two alternating sequents]; and عَقِيبُكَ signifies He who does a deed, or work, with thee by turn, he doing it one time and thou another: (A, * TA:) and ↓ مُعَاقِبٌ signifies the same, (S, Msb,) as also [↓ مُعْقِبٌ and ↓ مُعْتَقِبٌ and] ↓ مُعَقِّبٌ. (Msb.) As for the saying of the lawyers, يَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ عَقِيبَ الصَّلَاةِ [meaning He does that after the prayer], and the like thereof, there is no reason to be given but a suppression; the meaning being, فِى

وَقْتٍ عَقِيب وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ [in a time following that of prayer], عقيب being an epithet qualifying وقت: (Msb:) and Er-Rázee says, in the Mukhtár es-Siháh, that he had found no authority in the T nor in the S for the phrase جَآءَ عَقِيبَهُ meaning He came after him. (TA.) See also عَقِبٌ, first sentence. [And compare عَاقِبٌ.]

عُقُوبَةٌ Punishment; (S, * MA, Msb, * KL;) i. q. نَكَالٌ. (MA.) b2: And Detention, confinement, or imprisonment: so in the trad., لَىُّ الوَاجِدِ يُحِلُّ عُقُوبَتَهُ وَعَرْضَهُ i. e. [The solvent man's putting off the payment of his debt with promises repeated time after time renders allowable] the imprisoning of him and the accusing of him. (IAar, TA. [Accord. to one relation, mentioned in the TA in art. عرض, this trad. ends with وَعِرْضَهُ, there said to mean وَنَفْسَهُ.]) عُقَيِّبٌ, with teshdeed of the ى, (O,) or عُقَّيْبٌ, like قُبَّيْطٌ, (K,) A certain bird, (O, K,) well known.

(O.) المُعَقِّبَاتُ means The angels of the night and the day; (S, O, K;) because they succeed one another by turns; and the fem. form is used because of the frequency of their doing so, in like manner as it is in the words نَسَّابَةٌ and عَلَّامَةٌ: (S, O:) the angles called الحَفَظَةُ [pl. of حَافِظٌ, q. v.]: so in the Kur xiii. 12: in which some of the Arabs of the desert read مَعَاقِيبُ: (TA:) this [may be an anomalous pl. of عَقِيبٌ, like as مَهَاجِينُ is of هَجِينٌ, or it] is pl. of مُعَقِّبٌ or of مُعَقِّبَةٌ, the ى being to compensate for the suppression of one of the two ق.

(O.) b5: and مُعَقِّبٌ signifies also One who makes repeatedly warring, or warring and plundering, expeditions; and who journeys repeatedly, and does not stay with his family after his return. (TA.) b6: and One who seeks after a thing repeatedly, striving, or exerting himself: (S, O:) one who follows after a thing that is his due, demanding restitution of it: or one who follows close after a man, for something that is his due: one who seeks to recover his right, or due: and one who, being despoiled of all his property in a hostile attack, makes a hostile attack upon him from whom he has thus suffered, and endeavours to recover his property. (TA.) Lebeed says, describing a [wild] he-ass and his female, حَتَّى تَهَجَّرَ بِالرَّوَاحِ وَهَاجَهَا طَلَبَ المُعَقِّبِ حَقَّهُ المُظْلُومُ (S, O, but in the latter فِى الرَّوَاحِ,) i. e. [Until he went along in the midday heat, (بالرواح or فى الرواح being redundant,)] and drove her on [by a pursuit] like the seeking of him who is making repeated efforts, having been wronged, to obtain his due: (O:) المظلوم is an epithet qualifying المعقّب, and is in the nom. case agreeable with the meaning, (S, O,) because it is put after its proper place; (O;) and المعقّب is literally in the gen. case, but as to the meaning is an agent: (S, O: *) or, accord. to some, المعقّب [here] signifies the debtor who puts off the payment of his debt; so that المظلوم is an agent and المعقّب is an objective complement: (S:) or, as some say, المعقّب signifies he who demands the payment of a debt and repeats his demand thereof. (TA.) b7: Also Any one returning [app. to the doing of a thing]. (O.) b8: See also مَعَاقِبٌ. b9: لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِ, in the Kur [xiii. 41], means There is no repeller of his decree. (TA.)

(K.) مُعَاقِبٌ: see عُقِيبٌ, with which it is syn. b2: [Hence,] إِبِلٌ مُعَاقِبَةٌ Camels that eat one time, or turn, of the [kind of plants called] حَمْض, and another of the [kind called] خُلَّة. (S, O, K.) b3: And نَخْلَةٌ مُعَاقِبَةٌ A palm-tree that bears fruit one year, and fails to do so another. (TA.) b4: And مُعَاقِبٌ also signifies A revenger of blood: a poet, cited by IAar, says, وَنَحْنُ قَتَلْنَا بِالمَحَارِقِ فَارِسًا جَزَآءَ العُطَاسِ لَا يَمُوتُ المُعَاقِبُ meaning [And we slew, in El-Mahárik, (app. the name of a place,) a horseman,] taking our bloodrevenge quickly, in the time that elapses between a sneeze and the prayer for the sneezer [which is usually “ God have mercy on thee ”]: the memory of the blood-revenger shall not die. (TA. [It is there also said that العقب (app. a mistranscription for ↓ المُعَقِّبُ, as may be conjectured from the fact that the م after the article is often indistinctly written, and inferred on other grounds,) is syn. with المُعَاقِبُ as here explained.]) مُعْتَقَبٌ: see 8: A2: and see also 5, last sentence.

مُعْتَقِبٌ: see عَقِيبٌ.

مُتَعَقَّبٌ: see 5, former half, in two places.

يَعْقُوبٌ, perfectly decl., because it is an Arabic word, not altered, and, although having an augmentative letter at the beginning, not of the measure of a verb; whereas يعقوب as a proper name of foreign origin is imperfectly decl.; (S, O;) The حَجَل [or partridge]: (K:) or the male of the حَجَل; (S, O, Msb;) or of the قَبْج; (Lh, Mgh;) but ISd says, I know not whether Lh mean by this the حَجَل or the قَطَا or the كَرَوَان, nor do I know that the قَبْح is the same as the حَجَل: (TA:) and the male of the قَطَا [or sand-grouse]: (TA:) pl. يَعَاقِيبُ. (S, Mgh, O, Msb.) كَأَنَّكُمْ يَعَاقِيبُ الحَجَلِ, occurring in a trad., means [As though ye were the males of partridges] in your haste, and your flying into destruction: for they are such that, when they see the female in the possession of the fowler, they throw themselves upon him, so as to fall into his hand. (Z, TA in art. ركب.) b2: and accord. to some, (TA,) the pl. also signifies Horses: they being thus termed as being likened to the يعاقيب of the حَجَل, (O, TA,) because of their swiftness: (TA:) so in the phrase رَكْضَ اليَعَاقِيبِ [As the running of the horses, or of the swift horses]; in a verse of Selámeh Ibn-Jendel: (O, TA:) but others say that the meaning [here] is, the males of the حَجَل. (TA.) It is said in the L that فَرَسٌ يَعْقُوبٌ means A horse that has a run after another run [or the power of repeating his running] (ذُو عَقْبٍ [or عَقِبٍ]). (TA.) b3: J has cited [in the S] the words of a poet, عَالٍ يُقَصِّرُ دُونَهُ اليَعْقُوبُ [High, so that the يعقوب falls short of reaching it] as an ex. of the last word meaning the male of the حَجَل: but IB says that it appears to mean in this case the male of the عُقَاب [or eagle]; like as اليَرْخُومُ means the male of the رَخَم; and اليَحْبُورُ, the male of the حُبَارَى; for the حَجَل is not known to have so high a flight: and ElFarezdak describes يَعَاقِيب as congregating with vultures over the slain. (TA.) اليَعْقُوبِيَّةُ [a coll. gen. n., n. un. يَعْقُوبِىٌّ,] the name of A sect of the خَوَارِج, followers of Yaakoob Ibn-'Alee El-Koofee. (TA.) b2: And A sect of the Christians; the followers of Yaakoob ElBarádi'ee [or Jacobus Baradæus], who assert the unity of the divine and human natures [in the person of Christ], and who are the most unbelieving and stubborn of the Christians: so says El-Mak- reezee, in one of his tracts.

You say, أَخَذَتْهُ حُمَّى نَافِضٍ, (S, K,) and حُمَّى بِنَافِضٍ, (K,) which is the more approved form, (TA,) and حُمَّى نَافِضٌ, (K,) the latter word being sometimes thus used as an epithet; the second meaning (tropical:) Fever took him, or affected him, with [a shivering, or trembling, or] violent shivering or trembling; (TA;) [and the first and third, fever attended with shivering, or trembling, took him, or affected him.]

فتن

1 فَتَنَهُ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـِ (M,) inf. n. فَتْنٌ, (S, M, K,) [and quasi-inf. n., in this and other senses, فِتْنَةٌ,] He burned it (T, * S, * M, K *) in the fire. (M.) Hence, [in the Kur li. 13,] يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ (T, * S, M, K *) i. e. [The day, or on the day, accord. to two different readings, (يَوْمُ and يَوْمَ, the latter of which is the more common,)] when they shall be burned (T, S, M, K) with the fire [of Hell]. (T.) And [in the Kur lxxxv. 10,] إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ Verily they who burned the believing men and the believing women (T, S *) in the fire kindled in the trench, or pit; throwing them therein. (T.) This is said to be the primary signification of the verb. (TA.) b2: And He melted it with fire, (T,) or put it into the fire, (S, Msb,) namely, gold, (T, S, Msb,) and silver, in order to separate, or distinguish, (T, Msb,) the bad from the good, (T,) or the good from the bad, (Msb,) or to see what was its [degree of] goodness. (S.) b3: And hence, accord. to Er-Rághib, الفَتْنُ is used as meaning The causing a man to enter into fire [app. by way of trial, or probation], and [in like manner] into a state of punishment, or affliction: (TA:) [and it is also used as meaning the slaying another; whence, in the Kur iv. 102,] إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا means [If ye fear that those who have disbelieved] may slay you; and in like manner in the Chapter of Yoonus [i. e. in x. 83], أَنْ يَفْتِنَهُمْ means ان يَقْتُلَهُمْ. (T. [In the TA, these two exs. are misplaced, or something has been omitted before them by a copyist.]) b4: [Hence also,] one says, فَتَنَهُ, aor. ـِ (K, TA,) inf. n. فَتْنٌ, (TA,) He, or it, caused him to fall into الفِتْنَة; (K, TA;) i. e. trial; and affliction, distress, or hardship; [generally meaning an affliction whereby some good or evil quality is put to the test;] (TA;) as also ↓ اِفْتَتَنَهُ; and ↓ فتّنهُ; (K, TA;) but this, of which the inf. n. is تَفْتِينٌ, has an intensive signification; (S;) and ↓ أَفْتَنَهُ; (K, TA;) which last is rare, or rather, accord. to As, [though app. not in this sense, but in another, to be mentioned in what follows,] is not allowable: (TA:) the first of these verbs is trans. and intrans.: (S, K, TA:) you say also, فَتَنَ, (Az, T, S, K, TA,) aor. ـِ (Az, T, K,) inf. n. فُتُونٌ, (Az, T, S, TA,) He fell into فِتْنَة [i. e. trial, or affliction, &c.]; (Az, T, K;) as also ↓ اِفْتَتَنَ: (K:) or the former signifies he shifted from a good, to an evil, state or condition: or, accord. to En-Nadr, one says ↓ اِفْتَتَنَ and اُفْتُتِنَ, both meaning the same; and this is correct; but فَتَنَ as quasi-pass. of فَتَنْتُهُ [i. e. as intrans.] is of weak authority: (T:) and ↓ اُفْتُتِنَ, said of a man, [as also اِفْتَتَنَ,] and فُتِنَ, signify the same, (S, M,) accord. to Az, (M,) i. e. he was smitten by a فِتْنَة [or trial, &c.,] so that his wealth, or property, or his intellect, departed: and likewise he was tried, or tested: (S:) and accord. to Az, one says, of a man, ↓ أُفْتِنَ, [if not a mistranscription for اُفْتُتِنَ, as above,] with damm, meaning فُتِنَ: (TA:) [and فَتَنَهُ has فُتُونٌ also as an inf. n.:] it is said in the Kur [xx. 41], وَفَتَنَّاكَ فُتُونًا (S) i. e. And we tried thee with a [severe] trying: or the noun in this instance is pl. of فَتْنٌ; or of فِتْنَةٌ, formed by disregard of the ة, like حُجُوزٌ and بُدُورٌ which are [said to be] pls. of حُجْزَةٌ and بَدْرَةٌ; so that the meaning is, we tried thee with several sorts of trying: (Bd:) or, as some say, and we purified thee with a [thorough or an effectual] purifying [like that of gold, or silver, by means of fire]: (TA:) [in many instances] فَتَنَهُ, aor. ـِ [inf. n. فَتْنٌ,] signifies He tried, or tested, him; whence, in the Kur ix. 127, يُفْتَنُونَ meansThey are tried, or tested, by being summoned to war, against unbelievers or the like; or, as some say, by the infliction of punishment or of some evil thing. (M.) فَتَنْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ, in the Kur [lvii. 13], means Ye caused yourselves to fall into trial and punishment. (TA.) And وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ, in the Kur xxix. 1, is expl. as meaning While they are not tried in their persons and their possessions so that he who has true faith may be known from others by his patient endurance of trial. (T.) And the saying, in a trad., إِنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِى القُبُورِ means [Verily ye shall be tried, or tested, in the graves by] the questioning of [the two angels] Munkar and Nekeer. (TA.) [See also مَفْتُونٌ, which is said to be an inf. n., and syn. with فِتْنَةٌ, meaning خِبْرَةٌ, or with فُتُونٌ (mentioned above as an inf. n. of the intrans. v. فَتَنَ), meaning جُنُونٌ; as well as a pass. part. n.] b5: And فَتَنَهٌ, (M, TA,) inf. n. فَتْنٌ, (TA, [or perhaps فُتُونٌ, as in the next following sentence]) also signifies He made him (a man, M) to turn from, or quit, (M, TA,) the predicament in which he was, (M,) or the right course: (TA:) whence, in the Kur [xvii. 75], وَإِنْ كَادُوا لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ عَنِ الَّذِى أَوْحَيْنَا

إِلَيْكَ (M, TA) i. e. [And verily they were near to] their making thee to turn [from that which we had revealed to thee]: thus this saying has been explained. (TA.) [And He, or it, seduced him; or tempted him: thus it may often be well rendered, agreeably with what next precedes and what next follows, and with explanations of its act. part. n. and of فِتْنَةٌ.] And one says, فَتَنَ المَالُ النَّاسَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. فُتُونٌ, [or perhaps فَتْنٌ, as in the next preceding sentence,] meaning Wealth, or property, inclined, or attracted, to it, men, or mankind: and فُتِنَ فِى دِينِهِ and ↓ اُفْتُتِنَ, both in the pass. form, He declined [or was made to decline] from [the right way in] his religion. (Msb.) And فَتَنَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. فَتْنٌ and فُتُونٌ, (M, K,) He, or it induced in him admiration, or pleasure; (M, * K, * TA;) as also ↓ أَفْتَنَهُ [respecting which see what here follows]: (M, K:) and one says, of a woman, فَتَنَتْهُ, (T, S,) meaning [She enamoured him; or captivated his heart; i. e.] she bereaved him of his heart, or reason, (دَلَّهَتْهُ, [thus in several copies of the S, in one of my copies بَلَّهَتْهُ,] and [so affected him that] he loved her; (S;) as also ↓ أَفْتَنَتْهُ; (T, S;) the former of the dial. of El-Hijáz, and the latter of the dial. of Nejd; (T, S; *) but ↓ افتنتهُ, (T, S,) or افتنهُ, (M,) was disallowed by As, (T, S, M,) and he paid no regard to a verse mentioned to him as an ex. thereof, (T,) [or] he ignored a verse cited to him as an ex. of the pass. part. n. from an أُرْجُوزَة of Ru-beh, not knowing it therein; (M;) most of the lexicologists, however, allow both: (T:) Sb says that فَتَنَهُ signifies he put [or occasioned] in him فِتْنَة; and ↓ افتنهُ, he caused الفِتْنَة to come to him [or to affect him]; (M;) or he said that the latter means he made him to be فَاتِن: (TA voce حَزَنَهُ:) and one says also, of a man, فُتِنَ بالْمَرْأَةِ and ↓ اُفْتُتِنَ [both meaning He was enamoured by the woman]. (T.) b6: and one says also, of a man, فَتَنَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. فُتُونٌ, meaning He desired الفُجُور [i. e. the committing of adultery or fornication]: (Az, TA:) or فَتَنَ إِلَى

النِّسَآءِ, inf. n. فُتُونٌ, he desired الفُجُور (T, M, K, TA) with women or the women; as also فُتِنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ. (M, K, TA.) 2 فَتَّنَ see the preceding paragraph, former half.3 مُفَاتَنَةٌ [The occasioning فِتْنَة (meaning conflict, or discord, or the like,) with another]. (TA in art. عرم: see 3 in that art.) 4 أَفْتَنَ see 1, former half, in two places: and also in the latter half, in four places.5 بَنُو ثَقِيفٍ يَتَفَتَّنُونَ أَبَدًا means يَتَحَارَبُونَ [i. e. The sons of Thakeef (the tribe so called) contend in war, one with another, ever]. b2: تَفَتَّنَنِى: see 5 in art. عجب, where it is said to be syn. with تَصَبَّانِى.8 إِفْتَتَنَ see 1, former half, in four places: and also in the latter half, in two places.

فَتْنٌ A sort, or species; and a state, or condition; syn. ضَرْبٌ, (T, M, K,) and فَنٌّ, (T, K,) and لَوْنٌ, (M, K,) and حَالٌ. (T, K.) Hence the saying of 'Amr Ibn-Ahmar El-Báhilee, إِمَّا عَلَى نَفْسٍ وَإِمَّا لَهَا وَالعَيْشُ فَتْنَانِ فَحُلْوٌ وَمُرْ

[Either against a soul or for it; life being of two sorts, or conditions, sweet and bitter; مُرْ being for مُرٌّ]; (T; and the latter hemistich, without the incipient و, is cited in the K;) thus as related by some: but as related by Aboo-Sa'eed [As], he said فَنَّانِ, i. e. ضَرْبَانِ: and as related by Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, فِتْنَانِ [with kesr]; and [he seems to have held that the poet meant two-sided; for] he says that ↓ الفِتْنُ signifies النَّاحِيَةُ. (T.) b2: And الفَتْنَانِ, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, الفُتْنانِ,]) dual of الفَتْنُ, (TA,) signifies The first and last parts of the day; or the early part of the morning and the late part of the evening: (K, TA:) because they are two states, or conditions, and two sorts. (TA.) فِتْنٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

فِتْنَةٌ A burning with fire. (T.) b2: And The melting of gold and of silver (K, TA) in order to separate, or distinguish, the bad from the good. (TA.) b3: And [hence, or] from فَتَنَ signifying

“ he melted,” (T,) or from that verb as signifying “ he put into the fire, “(Msb,) gold, and silver, “ for that purpose,” (T, Msb,) it signifies A trial, or probation; (IAar, T, S, M, K, TA;) and affliction, distress, or hardship; (TA;) and [particularly] an affliction whereby one is tried, proved, or tested: (IAar, T, S, K, TA:) this is the sum of its meaning in the language of the Arabs: (T, TA: *) or the trial whereby the condition of a man may be evinced: this, accord. to Zj, may be the meaning in the Kur v. 45: (M:) or a mean whereby the condition of a man is evinced, in respect of good and of evil: (Kull:) [hence it often means a temptation:] and ↓ مَفْتُونٌ signifies the same as فِتْنَةٌ, (S, M, K,) meaning a trial: (K:) the pl. of فِتْنَةٌ is فِتَنٌ. (Msb.) It proceeds from God and from man: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [there are many instances of its proceeding from God in the Kur; for ex., in xxxvii. 61,] إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِلظَّالِمِينَ i. e. [Verily we have made it to be] a trial [to the wrongdoers] is said in relation to the tree Ez-Zakkoom; the existence of which they disbelieved; for when they heard that it comes forth in the bottom of Hell, they said, Trees become burned in the fire; then how can they grow therein? (M.) [And hence] it signifies also Punishment, castigation, or chastisement. (T, M, K.) And Slaughter: (T:) and civil war, or conflict occurring among people: (M:) and slaughter, and war, and faction, or sedition, among the parties of the Muslims when they form themselves into parties: (T:) and discord, dissension, or difference of opinions, among the people. (IAar, T, K.) A misleading; or causing to err, or go astray: (T, K:) [seduction; or temptation: or a cause thereof; such as] the ornature, finery, show, or pomp, and the desires, or lusts, of the present life or world, whereby one is tried: (T:) and wealth, or children; (T, K, TA;) because one is tried thereby: (TA:) and women; than whom, the Prophet said, there is no فِتْنَة more harmful to men: (T:) and a cause of one's being pleased with a thing; (T, M, K;) as in the saying لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ [in the Kur x. 85, i. e. Make not us to be a cause of pleasure to the wrongdoing people]; meaning, make not them to prevail over us, so as to become pleased with their unbelief and to think that they are better than we. (T.) Also Madness, insanity, or diabolical possession; (T, K;) and so ↓ فُتُونٌ and ↓ مَفْتُونٌ. (T.) And Error; or deviation from the right way. (M, K.) And Infidelity; or unbelief: (T, M, K:) thus in the saying, [in the Kur ii. 187,] وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ [and infidelity, or unbelief, is more excessive than slaughter: and the like is said in ii. 214]. (T.) And A sin, a crime; or an act of disobedience for which one deserves punishment. (M, K.) and Disgrace, shame, or ignominy. (M, K.) فِتْنَةُ الصَّدْرِ signifies الوَسْوَاسُ [app. as meaning The devil's prompting, or suggesting, of some evil idea]: فِتْنَةُ المَحْيَا, The being turned from the [right] road: فِتْنَةُ المَمَاتِ, The being questioned in the grave [by the two angels Munkar and Nekeer]: فِتْنَةُ الضُّرِّ, The sword: and فِتْتَةُ السُّرِّ, Women. (TA.) [And الفِتْنَةُ العَمْيَا is a phrase used in the present day as meaning Incurable evil or trouble.]

A2: [It is also the name now commonly given to The mimosa farnesiana of Linn.; (Delile's Floræ

Ægypt. Illustr. no. 962;) called by Forskål (Flora Ægypt. Arab. p. lxxvii.) mimosa scorpioïdes.]

فِتَانٌ A covering, of leather, for the [camel's saddle called] رَحْل: (T, M, K:) pl. فُتُنٌ. (M.) فُتُونٌ: see فِتْنَةٌ, latter half. [It is an inf. n. of 1 in several senses.]

فَتِينٌ, applied to silver (وَرِق, i. e. فِضَّة), Burnt. (S.) b2: [Hence,] Black stones; as though burnt with fire. (T.) And A [stony tract such as is called] حَرَّة, (S,) or like a حَرَّة, (Sh, T,) as though the stones thereof were burnt: (Sh, T, S:) or a black حَرَّة: (K:) or a حَرَّة wholly covered by black stones, as though they were burnt: (M:) pl. فُتُنٌ: (Sh, T, M, K:) and فَتَائِنُ signifies black حِرَار [pl. of حَرَّةٌ]; (TA; [and the same is app. indicated in the T;]) as though its sing. were

↓ فَتِينَةٌ; and some say that this is a sing. [or n. un.], and that فَتِين is the pl. [or coll. gen. n.]; but as some relate a verse of El-Kumeyt which is cited as an ex. of فَتِينَة with the ة elided because ending the verse, it is فِتِينَ, and said to be pl. of فِتَةٌ, like as عِزِينَ is of عِزَةٌ. (T.) A2: In the dial. of El-Yemen it signifies Short; and small. (TA.) فَتِينَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

فَتَّانٌ is an intensive epithet. (TA.) b2: and signifies A goldsmith or silversmith: (S, K, TA:) because of his melting the gold and the silver in the fire. (TA.) b3: And الفَتَّانَةُ signifies [The touch-stone; i. e.] the stone with which gold and silver are tried, or tested. (KT.) b4: And the former, A man who tries, or tempts, much. (TA.)

K,) who opposes himself to the company of travellers in their road. (T.) فَاتِنٌ [is the act. part. n. of the trans. v. فَتَنَ; and as such] signifies Causing to err, or go astray, (T, S, M,) from the truth: (S:) hence the saying in the Kur [xxxvii. 162], مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ, (T, S, * M, *) which, accord. to Fr, means, Ye have not power [over him] to cause him to err, except him against whom it has been decreed that he shall enter the fire [of Hell]; فاتنين being made trans. by means of عَلَى because it implies the meaning of قَادِرِينَ, which is thus made trans.: (M:) Fr says, the people of El-Hijáz say مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ; and the people of Nejd, ↓ بِمُفْتِنِينَ, from أَفْتَنْتُ. (S.) b2: See also فَتَّانٌ.

A2: It is also an epithet from the intrans. v.

فَتَنَ; and as such is applied to a heart as signifying Falling into فِتْنَة [i. e. trial, or affliction, &c.; or in a state of trial, &c.]. (S, * TA.) فَيْتَنٌ A carpenter. (K.) مُفْتَنٌ: see مَفْتُونٌ. [And see also the different explanations of its verb.]

A2: It is also syn. with فِتْنَةٌ; (T, S, M, K;) and, thus used, it is an inf. n., like مَعْقُولٌ &c. (T, S, M.) See فِتْنَةٌ, former half: and again, in the latter half. Hence, (T, M,) as some explain it, (M,) بِأَيِّكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ, [in the Kur lxviii. 6,] (T, M,) meaning In which of you is madness: (T:) but some say that the ب is redundant; (M;) thus says AO; (T;) the meaning being أَيُّكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ [Which of you is the afflicted with madness]; (T, M;) but Zj disallowed this: (T:) J says, [in the S,] that the ب is redundant, as in كَفَى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيدًا, in the Kur [xiii. last verse, &c.], and [thus in copies of the S, app. a mistake for “ or ”] المفتون means الفِتْنَةُ, and is an inf. n. [&c.]: IB says, [in remarking upon this passage of the S,] if the ب be redundant, المفتون is the man, and is not an inf. n.; but if you make the ب to be not redundant, then المفتون is an inf. n. in the sense of الفُتُون. (TA.) [See also art. ب; p. 142, second col.; and p. 143, third col.]

مَفْتُونَةٌ is [a term] applied to A number of black camels collected together (لَابَة سَوْدَآء), as though they were like the [stony tract called] حَرَّة, in blackness; as though they were burnt. (T.)

مَيّافارِقِين:
بفتح أوله، وتشديد ثانيه ثم فاء، وبعد الألف راء، وقاف مكسورة، وياء، ونون، قال بعض الشعراء:
فإن يك في كيل اليمامة عسرة ... فما كيل ميّافارقين بأعسرا
وقال كثيّر:
مشاهد لم يعف التنائي قديمها، ... وأخرى بميّافارقين فموزن
ميّافارقين: أشهر مدينة بديار بكر، قالوا: سميت بميّا بنت لأنها أول من بناها، وفارقين هو الخلاف
بالفارسية يقال له بارجين، لأنها كانت أحسنت خندقها فسميت بذلك، وقيل: ما بني منها منها بالحجارة فهو بناء أنوشروان بن قباذ وما بني بالآجرّ فهو بناء أبرويز، قال بطليموس: مدينة ميّافارقين طولها أربع وسبعون درجة وأربعون دقيقة، وعرضها سبع وثلاثون درجة وثلاثون دقيقة، داخلة في الإقليم الخامس، طالعها الجبهة، بيت حياتها ثلاث درج من العقرب، لها شركة في السماك الشامي وحرب في قلب الأسد تحت أربع عشرة درجة من السرطان، يقابلها مثلــها من الجدي، بيت ملكها مثلــها من الحمل، رابعها مثلــها من الميزان، وقال صاحب الزيج: طول ميافارقين سبع وخمسون درجة ونصف وربع، وعرضها ثمان وثلاثون درجة، والذي يعتمد عليه أنها من أبنية الروم لأنها في بلادهم، وقد ذكر في ابتداء عمارتها أنه كان في موضع بعضها اليوم قرية عظيمة وكان بها بيعة من عهد المسيح وبقي منها حائط إلى وقتنا هذا، قالوا:
وكان رئيس هذه الولاية رجلا يقال له ليوطا فتزوج بنت رئيس الجبل الذي هناك يسكنه في زماننا الأكراد الشامية وكانت تسمّى مريم فولدت له ثلاثة بنين كان اثنان منهم في خدمة الملك ثيودسيوس اليوناني الذي دار ملكه برومية الكبرى وبقي الأصغر وهو مرّوثا فاشتغل بالعلوم حتى فاق أهل عصره فلما مات أبوه جلس في مكانه في رياسة هذه البلاد وأطاعه أهلها، وكان ملك الروم مقيما بدار ملكه برومية وكان تحت حكمه إلى آخر بلاد ديار بكر والجزيرة، وكان ملك الفرس حينئذ سابور ذو الأكتاف، وكان بينه وبين ملك الروم ثيودسيوس منازعة وحروب مشهورة، وكان ثيودسيوس قد تزوّج امرأة يقال لها هيلانة من أهل الرّها فأولدها قسطنطين الذي بنى مدينة قسطنطينية ثم مات ثيودسيوس فملّكوا هيلانة إلى أن كبر ابنها قسطنطين فاستولى على الملك برومية الكبرى ثم اختار موضع قسطنطينية فعمّرها هناك وصارت دار ملك الروم، وبقي مرّوثا بن ليوطا المقدم ذكره مقيما بديار بكر مطاعا في أهلها وكان له همة في عمارة الأديرة والكنائس فبنى منها شيئا كثيرا فأكثر ما يوجد من ذلك قديم البناء فهو من إنشائه، وكان ربّ ماشية، وكان الفرس مجاوريه فكانوا يغيرون عليه ويأخذون مواشيه فعمد إلى أرض ميافارقين فقطع جميع ما كان حولها من الشوك والشجر وجعله سياجا على غنمه من اللصوص الذين يسرقون أمواله، فيقال إنه كان لملك الفرس بنت لها منه منزلة عظيمة فمرضت مرضا أشرفت منه على الهلاك وعجز عن إصلاحها أطباء الفرس فأشار عليه بعض أصحابه باستدعاء مرّوثا لمعالجتها، فأرسل إلى قسطنطين ملك الروم يسأله ذلك، فأنفذه إليه ووصل إلى المدائن وعالج المرأة فوجدت العافية، فسرّ سابور بذلك وقال لمرّوثا:
سل حاجتك، فسأله الصلح والهدنة، فأجاب إليه وكتب بينه وبين قسطنطين عهدا بالهدنة مدّة حياتهما، فلما أراد مرّوثا الرجوع عاود سابور في ذكر حاجة أخرى فقال: إنك قتلت خلقا كثيرا من النصارى وأحب أن تعطيني جميع ما عندك في بلادك من عظام الرهبان والنصارى الذين قتلهم أصحابك، فرتب معه الملك من سار في بلاده ليستخرج له ما أحبّ من ذلك بعد البحث حتى جمع منه شيئا كثيرا فأخذه معه إلى بلده ودفنها في الموضع الذي اختاره من دياره ومضى إلى قسطنطين وعرّفه ما صنع بالهدنة، فسرّ به وقال له: سل حاجتك، فقال: أحب أن يساعدني الملك في بناء موضع في ذلك الدّوار الذي جعلته لغنمي ويعاونني بجاهه وماله، فكتب إلى كل من يجاوره بمساعدته بالمال والنفس ورجع مرّوثا إلى دياره فساعده من حوله
حتى أدار عوضا من الشوك حائطا كالسور وعمل فيه طاقات كثيرة سدّها بالشوك ثم سأل الملك أن يأذن له أن يبني في جانب حائطه حصنا يأمن به غائلة العدوّ الذي يطرق بلاده، فأذن له في ذلك، فبنى البرج المعروف ببرج الملك وبنى البيعة على رأس التلّ وكتب اسم الملك على أبنيته، ووشى به قوم إلى الملك قسطنطين وزعموا أنه فعل ما فعل للعصيان، فسيّر الملك رجلا وقال له: انظر فإن كان بناؤه بيعة وكتب اسمي على ما بناه فدعه بحاله وإلّا فانقض جميع ما بناه وعد، فلما رأى اسم الملك على السور رجع وأخبر قسطنطين بذلك فأقره على بنائه وأعجبه ما صنع من كتابة اسم الملك على ما جدّده وأنفذ إلى جميع من في تلك الديار من عماله بمساعدة مرّوثا على بناء مدينة بحيث بنى حائطه وأطلق يده في الأموال فعمرها وجعل في كل طاقة من تلك الطيقان التي ذكرنا أنه سدّها بالشوك عظام رجل من شهداء النصارى الذين قدم بهم من عند سابور فسميت المدينة مدورصالا، ومعناه بالعربية مدينة الشهداء، فعرّبت على تطاول الأيام حتى صارت ميّافارقين، هكذا ذكروه وإن كان بين اللفظتين تباين وتباعد، وحصّنها مروثا وأحكمها، فيقال إنها إلى وقتنا هذا وهو سنة 620 لم تؤخذ عنوة قط، وآمد بالقرب منها وهي أحصن منها وأحسن قد أخذت بالسيف مرارا، قالوا:
وأمر الملك قسطنطين وزراءه الثلاثة فبنى كل واحد منهم برجا من أبرجتها فبنى أحدهم برج الرومية والبيعة بالعقبة، وبنى الآخر برج الراوية المعروف الآن ببرج علي بن وهب وبيعة كانت تحت التلّ وهي الآن خراب وأثرها باق مقابل حمّام النجارين، وبنى الثالث برج باب الربضّ والبيعة المدورة وكتب على أبراجها اسم الملك وأمه هيلانة وجعل لها ثمانية أبواب، منها:
باب أرزن ويعرف بباب الخنازير ثم تسير شرقا إلى باب قلونج وهو بين برج الطبّالين وبين برج المرآة ومكتوب عليه اسم الملك وأمه، وإنما سمي برج المرآة لأنه كان عليه بين البرجين مرآة عظيمة يشرق نورها إذا طلعت الشمس على ما حولها من الجبال وأثرها باق إلى الآن وبعض الضباب الحديد باق إلى الآن، ثم عمل بعد ذلك باب الشهوة وهو من برج الملك ثم تسير من جانب الشمال إلى أن تصل إلى البرج الذي فيه الموسوم بشاهد الحمّى، وهناك باب آخر وهو من الربض إلى المدينة ومقابل أرزن القبلي نصبا، ثم تسير إلى الجانب الشمالي وكان هناك باب الربض بين البرجين، ثم تنزل في الغرب إلى القبلة وهناك باب يسمى باب الفرح والغم لصورتين هناك منقوشتين على الحجارة، فصورة الفرح رجل يلعب بيديه وصورة الغمّ رجل قائم على رأسه صخرة جماد، فلذلك لا يبيت أحد في ميافارقين مغموما إلا النادر، والآن يسمى هذا الباب باب القصر العتيق الذي بناه بنو حمدان، ثم تسير إلى نحو القبلة إلى أسفل العقبة وهناك باب عند مخرج الماء، وفي جانب القبلي في السور الكبير باب فتحه سيف الدولة من القصر العتيق وسماه باب الميدان وكان يخرج في الفصيل إلى باب الفرح والغم وليس مقابله في الفصيل باب، وفي برج علي بن وهب في الركن الغربي القبلي في أعلاه صليب منقور كبير يقال إنه مقابل البيت المقدس وعلى بيعة قمامة في البيت المقدس صليب مثل هذا مقابله، ويقال إن صانعهما واحد، وقيل إنه كان مدة عمارتها حتى كملت ثماني عشرة سنة، فإن صح هذا فهو إحدى العجائب لأن مثل تلك العمارة لا يمكن استتمام مثلــها إلا في أضعاف هذه السنين، وقيل إنه ابتدئ بعمارتها بعد المسيح بثلاثمائة سنة وكان ذلك لستمائة
وثلاث وعشرين سنة من تاريخ الإسكندر اليوناني، وقيل إن أول عمارتها في أيام بطرس الملك في أيام يعقوب النبي، عليه السّلام، وقيل إن مرّوثا بنى في المدينة ديرا عظيما على اسم بطرس وبولس اللذين هما في البيعة الكبرى وهو باق إلى زماننا هذا في المحلة المعروفة بزقاق اليهود قرب كنيسة اليهود وفيها جرن من رخام أسود فيه منطقة زجاج فيها من دم يوشع بن نون وهو شفاء من كل داء وإذا طلي به على البرص أزاله، يقال إن مروثا جاء به معه من رومية الكبرى عند عوده من عند الملك، وما زالت ميافارقين بأيدي الروم إلى أيام قباذ بن فيروز ملك الفرس فإنه غزا ديار بكر وربيعة وافتتحها وسبى أهلها ونقلهم إلى بلاده وبنى لهم مدينة بين فارس والأهواز فأسكنهم فيها وجعل اسمها أبزقباذ، وقيل هي أرّجان ويقال لها الاستان الأعلى أيضا، ثم ملك بعده ابنه أنوشروان بن قباذ ثم هرمز بن أنوشروان ثم أبرويز بن هرمز وكان أبرويز مشتغلا بلذاته غافلا عن مملكته فخرج هرقل ملك الروم صاحب عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، فافتتح هذه البلاد وأعادها إلى مملكة الروم وملكها بأسرها ثماني سنين آخرها سنة ثماني عشرة للهجرة، وبعد أن فتحت الشام وجاء طاعون عمواس ومات أبو عبيدة بن الجرّاح أنفذ عمر، رضي الله عنه، عياض بن غنم بجيش كثيف إلى أرض الجزيرة فجعل يفتحها موضعا موضعا، ووجدت بعض من يتعاطى علم السير قد ذكر في كتاب صنفه أن خالد بن الوليد والأشتر النخعي سارا إلى ميافارقين في جيش كثيف فنازلاها فيقال إنها فتحت عنوة، وقيل صلحا على خمسين ألف دينار على كل محتلم أربعة دنانير، وقيل دينارين وقفيز حنطة ومدّ زيت ومدّ خل ومدّ عسل وأن يضاف كل من اجتاز بها من المسلمين ثلاثة أيام، وجعل للمسلمين بها محلة وقرر أخذ العشر من أموالهم، وكان ذلك بعد أخذ آمد، قال: وكان المسلمون لما نزلوا عليها نزلوا بمرج هناك على عين ماء فنصبوا رماحهم هناك بالمرج فسمي ذلك الموضع عين البيضة إلى الآن، وإياها عنى المتنبي في قوله يصف جيشا:
ولما عرضْتَ الجيش كان بهاؤه ... على الفارس المرخى الذؤابة منهم
حواليه بحر للتجافيف مائج، ... يسير به طود من الخيل أيهم
تساوت به الأقطار حتى كأنه ... يجمّع أشتات الجبال وينظم
وأدّبها طول القتال وطرفه ... يشير إليها من بعيد فتفهم
تجاوبه فعلا وما تسمع الوحى، ... ويسمعها لحظا وما يتكلّم
تجانف عن ذات اليمين كأنها ... ترقّ لميّافارقين وترحم
ولو زحمتها بالمناكب زحمة ... درت أيّ سوريها الضعيف المهدّم
