صنع
1 صَنَعَ الشَّىْءَ,
aor. ـَ
inf. n. صُنْعٌ and صَنْعٌ, He made, wrought, manufactured, fabricated, or constructed, the thing;
syn. عَمِلَهُ: (
K:) [or he made it, &c., skilfully, or well; for] الصُّنْعُ signifies إِجَادَةُ الفِعْلِ; and every صُنْع is a فِعْل, but every فِعْل is not a صُنْع; and it is not predicated of [irrational] animals [unless tropically, (see أَصْنَعُ,)] nor of inanimate things, like as الفِعْلُ is. (
Er-Rághib,
TA.)
b2: [Hence,] صَنَعَ signifies also (assumed
tropical:) [He fabricated speech or a saying or sentence or the like:] he forged a word; and poetry, عَلَى
فُلَانٍ in the name of such a one. (
Mz, 8th نوع.)
b3: And صَنَعَ,
inf. n. صَنْعٌ [and صُنْعٌ] and صَنِيعٌ, [with the
objective complement understood,] He worked, or wrought; he practised, or exercised, an art, a craft, or a manufacture. (
MA.)
b4: And صَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ مَعْرُوفًا, (
S,
O,
K,)
aor. as above, (
K,)
inf. n. صُنْعٌ, with damm, He did to him a benefit, favour, or kind act: and صَنَعَ بِهِ صَنِيعًا قَبِيحًا he did to him an evil, or a foul, deed:
syn. فَعَلَهُ: (
S,
O,
K:) and one says also [in the former of these two senses], عِنْدَهُ صَنِيعَةً ↓ اِصْطَنَعَ; (
S,
Mgh,
K;)
syn. اِتَّخَذَهَا; (
K;) or أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِ. (
Mgh.) The saying مَا صَنَعْتَ وَأَبَاكَ means مَعَ
أَبِيكَ [i. e. What didst thou together with thy father?]. (
S.) The saying of the Prophet, إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحْىِ فَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ [If thou be not ashamed, do what thou wilt,] is said to be an instance of an
imperative phrase of which the meaning is predicative; i. e. it is as though he said, he who is not ashamed does what he will: (
O,
L,
TA: *) and other explanations of it are mentioned in the O and
L: (
TA:) [but] this is held by A 'Obeyd to be the right meaning. (
L.) In the phrase صُنْعَ اللّٰهِ, in the
Kur [xxvii. 90, which may be rendered By the doing of God], صنع is in the
accus. case as an
inf. n.: but one may read it in the
nom. case, meaning ذٰلِكَ to be understood before it. (
Zj,
O,
TA.) One says also, مَا أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ اللّٰهِ عِنْدَكَ and صَنِيعَ اللّٰهِ [How good is the doing of God with thee, or at thine abode!]. (
K.)
b5: And صَنَعْتُ فَرَسِى,
inf. n. صَنْعٌ and صَنْعَةٌ, (
tropical:) I tended well my horse; or took good care of him; (
S,
O,
K,
TA;) supplied him with fodder, and fattened him: and صَنَعَ جَارِيَتَهُ (
tropical:) he reared, or nourished, his girl, or young woman: (
TA:) and صُنِعَتِ الجَارِيَةُ (
tropical:) the girl, or young woman, was treated [or nourished] well, so that she became fat; as also ↓ صُنِّعَت,
inf. n. تَصْنِيعٌ: (
K,
TA:) or you say اِصْنَعِ الفَرَسَ, (so
accord. to my
MS. copy of the
K,) or الفَرَسَ ↓ أَصْنَعَ, (so
accord. to other copies of the
K, and in the
O, [in the
CK اُصْنِعَ الفَرَسُ,]) without teshdeed; [which seems to indicate that the right reading is صَنَعَ, agreeably with the reading in my
MS. copy of the
K which gives the
imperative form; though it is stated in the
TA that أَصْنَعَ الفَرَسَ is said by
IKtt to be a
dial. var. of صَنَعَهُ;] (
O,
K;) and الجَارِيَةَ ↓ صَنَّعَ, with teshdeed, meaning he treated [or nourished] well the girl, or young woman, and fattened her; (
O,
K; [in my
MS. copy of the
K صَنِّعِ الجَارِيَةَ;]) because the تصنيع of the girl, or young woman, is by means of many things, and by careful tending: (
O,
K:) so says
Lth: (
O:) but
Az says that by other, or others, than
Lth, it is allowed to say صَنَعَ جَارِيَتَهُ, without teshdeed: and hence the phrase in the
Kur [xx. 40.], وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلَى عَيْنِى, (
TA,) meaning (assumed
tropical:) [And this I did] that thou mightest be reared and nourished in my sight; (
O,
TA;) for which some read وَلِْتُصْنَعْ, as an
imperative; and some, وَلِتَصْنَعَ, meaning and that thou mightest work in my sight, (
Ksh,
Bd,) lest thou shouldst do so contrary to my command. (
Bd.) You say likewise, of a woman, صَنَعَتْ نَفْسَهَا: see 5. And you say also ↓ اِصْطَنَعْتُهُ, meaning (
tropical:) I reared him; and educated, disciplined, or trained, him well. (
S, *
O,
K,
TA.)
A2: Accord. to
IDrst, صَنِعَ,
inf. n. صَنَعٌ, signifies He was, or became, skilled, or skilful: but
IB says that صَنِعَ has not been heard. (
TA.) 2 صَنَّعَ see 1, latter half, in two places.
3 مُصَانَعَةٌ primarily signifies The doing to one a thing in order that he may do another thing to the doer of the former thing. (
TA.)
b2: Hence, (
TA,) (assumed
tropical:) The treating with gentleness, or blandishment; soothing, coaxing, wheedling, or cajoling; and endeavouring to conciliate. (
O,
K,
TA.) Or this is from the last of the following significations. (
TA.) You say صانعهُ (assumed
tropical:) He treated him with gentleness, or blandishment; &c. (
O,
TA.) and (assumed
tropical:) He acted hypocritically with him. (
TA.) and صانعهُ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ (assumed
tropical:) He strove, or endeavoured, to turn him from the thing by deceit, or guile. (
TA.)
b3: And hence, (
A,
TA,) or from the last signification in this paragraph, (
TA,) (
tropical:) The act of bribing. (
S,
O,
Msb, *
K, *
TA.) One says, صانع الوَالِىَ (
tropical:) He bribed [the prefect, ruler, judge, or the like]. (
TA.) And صانعهُ بِالمَالِ (
tropical:) He bribed him with property, wealth, or money. (
Mgh,
TA. *) And it is said in a
prov., مَنْ صَانَعَ بِالمَالِ لَمْ يَحْتَشِمْ مِنْ طَلَبِ الحَاجَةِ (
tropical:) [He who bribes with property is not ashamed of demanding the thing wanted]. (
S,
O,
TA.)
b4: Also (
tropical:) A horse's not putting forth, or giving, the whole of his strength in going; reserving somewhat thereof: one says, يُصَانِعُكَ بِبَذْلِهِ سَيْرَهُ (
tropical:) [He keeps back from thee somewhat by the manner in which he exerts his power of going]. (
O,
K,
TA.) 4 اصنع He (a man, O) aided, or assisted, another. (
O,
K.) And
accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, followed in the O and
TS and
K, one says also, اصنع الأَخْرَقُ, meaning The unskilful learned, and did soundly, thoroughly, skilfully, or well: but this is a mistake, occasioned by his deeming dubious, or obscure, a passage in the Nawádir of
IAar, where the latter says that اصنع الرَّجُلُ means أَعَانَ الأَخْرَقَ [i. e. The man aided, or assisted, the unskilful]. (
TA.)
A2: اصنع الفَرَسَ: see 1, latter half. [Freytag states, as on the authority of the
K, that أَصْنَعَ, said of a horse, signifies “ Non omnibus viribus usus cucurrit, sed ita tamen ut eques eo contentus esset ” (which is nearly the same as a signification of صَانَعَ likewise mentioned by him): but this is a mistake.]
5 تَصَنُّعٌ signifies The affecting a goodly way, mode, or manner, of acting, or conduct, or the like; (
S,
O,
K,
TA; [الصَّمْت in the
CK is a mistranscription for السَّمْت;]) and the making a show thereof; (
TA;) and the adorning oneself (
K,
TA) thereby, while internally unsound in the grounds of pretension to respect. (
TA.) And تصنّعت, said of a woman, means نَفْسَهَا ↓ صَنَعَتْ [She cultivated and improved her person, so as to render herself comely, by art, and good nurture]: (
S, O:) or she adorned, or embellished, herself. (
PS.) 8 إِصْتَنَعَ see 1, former half.
b2: Accord. to
Er-Rághib, اِصْطِنَاعٌ signifies The exceeding the usual, or ordinary, bounds, or degree, in putting a thing into a good, sound, right, or proper, state. (
TA.)
b3: And hence, he says, the phrase in the
Kur [xx. 43], وَاصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِى, which means (assumed
tropical:) And I have chosen thee [for myself] to establish my evidence and to serve as my spokesman between me and my creatures so that thy doing thus shall be as though I did it: (
TA:) or it means I have reared thee, (
Az,
TA,) or I have chosen thee, (
O,
K,
TA,) [for myself,] for a special affair which I require thee to accomplish in a sufficient manner, (
Az,
O,
K,
TA,) concerning Pharaoh and his forces. (
Az,
TA.) See also 1, last sentence but one.
b4: One says also, اصطنع خَاتَمًا He ordered that a signet-ring should be made for him. (
O,
K.) [See also 10.]
b5: And اصطنعهُ [in which the pronoun seems to refer to رِزْق i. e. sustenance, &c.,] also signifies قَدَّمَهُ [

TA.)
b6: And اصطنع [alone, for اصطنع مَصْنَعَةً,] (
tropical:) He made, or prepared, a repast, feast, or banquet, to which to invite friends. (
O,
K,
TA.) and (
tropical:) He prepared food to be dispensed in the way, or cause, of God. (O and
TA, from a
trad.; mentioned also in the
CK, but not in other copies of the
K.) 10 استصنعهُ,
accord. to the
O, signifies He asked for it to be made for him:
accord. to the
L, استصنع الشَّىْءَ signifies he invited, or he induced, or caused (دَعَا,) [another] to make the thing. (
TA.) In the saying of Es-Sarakhsee, اِسْتَصْنَعَ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ قَلَنْسُوَةً [
app. meaning He asked, or desired, the man to make for him a قلنسوة (
q. v.)], عند is redundant. (
Mgh.) [See also 8.]
صَنْعٌ: see صَنَعٌ, in two places.
A2: Also, and ↓ صَوْنَعٌ, A certain small creeping thing, or insect, (دُوَيْبَّةٌ,) or a flying thing (طَائِرٌ): (

app. the right,] in respect of the hands. (
O,
K.) See also صَنَعٌ, in five places.
A2: Also A ↓ مَصْنَعَة of water; (
O,
K,
TA;) i. e. a piece of wood [
app. a plank or board] by means of which water is confined, and retained for a while: (
TA:)
pl. أَصْنَاعٌ: (
O,
K:) [but this explanation in the
TA seems to have been founded upon a statement there made, that
Az heard the Arabs call أَحْبَاس of water أَصْنَاع; (see حِبْسٌ, of which احباس is the
pl.;) for I do not find ↓ مَصْنَعَةٌ thus
expl. in any lexicon except the
TA:] and ↓ صَنَّاعَةٌ, with teshdeed, and ↓ صَنَاعٌ, (
O,
K,) like سَحَابٌ, (
K,)
accord. to
Lth, (
O,) signify pieces of wood [or planks or boards] put together in water, to confine the water, and retain it for a while; (

tropical:) A turban. (
IAar,

b6: And The [iron instrument with which flesh-meat is roasted, called] سَفُّود. (
O,
TS,
K.) El-Marrár El-Fak'asee says, describing camels, وَجَآءَتْ وَرُكْبَانُهَا كَالشُّرُوبِ وَسَائِقُهَا مِثْلُ صِنْعِ الشِّوَآء
[And they came, their riders being like drinkers, or drunkards, and their driver like the سَفُّود of roasted flesh-meat]. (
O.) In the
L, السود is put in the place of السفّود; and after citing the verse above, [and
app. reading مِثْلَ, regarding it as relating to the camels,] the author says that the poet means, سُودَ الأَلْوَانِ. (
TA.)
b7: And Roasted flesh-meat [itself];
syn. شِوَآءٌ. (So in copies of the
K. [
SM says that the right reading, as the explanation of الصِّنْعُ in this instance, is الشَّوَا; and cites
IAar as saying الصِّنْعُ الشَّوَا نَفْسُهُ: but I think that the right reading is indicated by the addition نَفْسُهُ to be الشِّوَآءُ; and that
IAar gives this signification after mentioning that which here next precedes it.]) رَجُلٌ صَنَعٌ, (

accord. to
