The first letter of the alphabet [according to the order in which the letters are now commonly disposed; and also according to the original order, which see in art. ابجد]: called أَلِفٌ.

[This name, like most of the other names of Arabic letters, is traceable to the Phœnician language, in which it signifies “an ox;” the ancient Phœnician form of the letter thus called being a rude representation of an ox's head.] It is, of all the letters, that which is most frequent in speech: and some say that, in آلم, in the Kur [ch. ii. &c.], it is a name of God. (TA.) Its name is properly fem., as is also that of every other letter; [and hence its pl. is أَلِفَاتٌ;] but it may be made masc.: so says Ks: Sb says that all the letters of the alphabet are masc. and fem., like as الِّسَانٌ is masc. and fem. (M.) As a letter of the alphabet, it is abbreviated, [or short, and is written ا, as it also is generally when occurring in a word, except at the end, when, in certain cases, it is written ى,] and is pronounced with a pause after it: and it is also prolonged: (S, K, * TA:) [in the latter case, it is written آءٌ; and] this is the case when it is made a subst.: and when it is not called a letter, [i. e. when one does not prefix to it the word حَرْف,] it is [properly] fem. (S.) Its dim. is أُيَيَّةٌ, meaning an اء written small, or obscure, (S, IB,) according to those who make it fem. and who say, زَيَّيَتُ زَايًا and ذَيَّلْتُ ذَالًا; but أُوَيَّةٌ according to those who say, زَوَّيْتُ زَايًا. (IB.) A2: أَلِفٌ [properly so called] is one of the letters of prolongation and of softness and of augmentation; the letters of augmentation being ten, which are comprised in the saying, اليَوْمَ تَنْسَاهُ [“to-day thou wilt forget it”]. (S.) There are two species of الف; namely, لَيِّنَةٌ [or soft], and مُتَحَرِّكَةٌ [or movent]; the former of which is [properly] called أَلِفٌ; and the latter, هَمْزَةٌ; (S, TA;) which is a faucial letter, pronounced in the furthest part of the fauces [by a sudden emission of the voice after a total suppression, so that it resembles in sound a feebly-uttered ع whence the form of the character (ء) whereby it is represented]: but this latter is sometimes tropically called الف; and both [as shown above] are of the letters of augmentation. (S in art. او, and TA.) There are also two other species of الف; namely, أَلِفُ وَصْلٍ [the alif of conjunction or connexion, or the conjunctive or connexive alif]; and أَلِفُ قَطْعٍ [the alif of disjunction, or the disjunctive alif]; every one that is permanent in the connexion of words being of the latter species; and that which is not permanent, [i. e. which is not pronounced, unless it is an alif of prolongation,] of the former species; and this is without exception augmentative; [but it is sometimes a substitute for a suppressed radical letter, as in ابْنٌ, originally بَنَىٌ or بَنَوٌ;] whereas the alif of disjunction is sometimes augmentative, as in the case of the interrogative alif [to be mentioned below, and in other cases]; and sometimes radical, as in أَخَذَ and أَمَرَ: (S, TA:) or, according to Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà and Mohammad Ibn-Yezeed, (T, TA,) the primary أَلِفَات are three; the rest being subordinate to these: namely, أَلِفٌ أَصْلِيَّةٌ [radical alif], (T, K, TA,) as in إِلْفٌ and أَكَلَ (T) and أَخَذَ; (K;) and أَلِفٌ قَطْعِيَةٌ [disjunctive alif], as in أَحْمَدُ (T, K) and أَحْمَرُ (T) and أَحْسَنَ; (T, K;) and أَلِفٌ وَصْلِيَّةٌ [conjunctive or connexive alif], (T, K,) as in اسْتَخْرَاجٌ (T) and اسْتَخْرَجَ. (T, K.) b2: The أَلِف which is one of the letters of prolongation and of softness is called الأَلِفُ الهَادِئَةُ [the quiescent alif, and الأَلِفُ السَّاكِنَةُ, which signifies the same]: (MF, TA:) it is an aerial letter, (Mughnee, MF, TA,) merely a sound of prolongation after a fet-hah; (T, TA;) and cannot have a vowel, (IB, Mughnee, MF,) wherefore it cannot commence a word: (Mughnee:) when they desire to make it movent, if it is converted from و or ى, they restore it to its original, as in عَصَوَانِ and رَحَيَانِ; and if it is not converted from و or ى, they substitute for it hemzeh, as in رَسَائِلُ, in which the hemzeh is a substitute for the ا in [the sing.] رَسَالَةٌ. (IB.) IJ holds that the name of this letter is لَا, [pronounced lá or lé, without, or with, imáleh, like the similar names of other letters, as بَا and تا and ثَا &c.,] and that it is the letter which is mentioned [next] before ى in reckoning the letters; the ل being prefixed to it because it cannot be pronounced at the beginning of its name, as other letters can, as, for instance, ص and ج; and he adds that the teachers [in schools] err in pronouncing its name لَامَ الِفْ. (Mughnee.) b3: The grammarians have other particular appellations for alifs, which will be here mentioned. (T, TA.) b4: الأَلِفُ المَجْهُولَةُ [The unknown alif] is such as that in فَاعِلٌ [or فَاعَلَ] and فَاعُولٌ; i. e., every ا, (T, K,) of those having no original [from which they are converted, not being originally أ nor و nor ى, but being merely a formative letter, and hence, app., termed “unknown”], (T,) inserted for the purpose of giving fulness of sound to the fet-hah in a verb and in a noun; (T, K;) and this, when it becomes movent, becomes و, as in the case of خَاتَمٌ and خَوَاتِمُ, becoming و in this case because it is movent, and followed by a quiescent ا, which ا is the ا of the pl., and is also مجهولة. (T.) b5: أَلِفَاتُ المَدَّاتِ [The alifs of prolongations] are such as those [which are inserted for the same purpose of giving fulness of sound to the fet-hah] in كَلْكَالٌ, for كَلْكَلٌ, and خَاتَامٌ, for خَاتَمٌ, and دَانَاقٌ, for دَانَقٌ. (T, K.) In like manner, و is inserted after a dammeh, as in أَنْظُورُ; and ى after a kesreh, as in شِيمَالٌ. (TA.) An alif of this species is also called أَلِفُ الإِشْبَاعِ [The alif added to give fulness of sound to a fet-hah preceding it]: and so is the alif in مَنَا used in imitation [of a noun in the accus. case; as when one says, رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا (pronounced رَجُلَا) “I saw a man,” and the person to whom these words are addressed says, مَنَا Whom?]. (Mughnee.) b6: أَلِفُ الصِّلَةِ [The alif of annexation, or the annexed alif,] is that which is an annex to the fet-hah of a rhyme, (T, K,) and to that of the fem. pronoun هَا: in the former case as in بَانَتْ سُعَادُ وَأَمْسَى حَبْلُهَا انْقَطَعَا in which ا is made an annex to the fet-hah of the ع [of the rhyme]; and in the saying in the Kur [xxxiii. 10], وَتَظُنُّونَ بِاللّٰهِ الظُّنُونَا, in which the ا after the last ن is an annex to the fet-hah of that ن; and in other instances in the final words of verses of the Kur-án, as قَوَارِيرَ and سَلْسَبِيلَا [in lxxvi. 15 and 18]: in the other case as in ضَرَبْتُهَا and مَرَرْتُ بِهَا. (T.) The difference between it and أَلِفُ الوَصْلِ is, that the latter is in the beginnings of nouns and verbs, and the former is in the endings of nouns [and verbs]. (T, K.) It is also called أَلِفُ الإِطْلَاقِ [The alif of unbinding, because the vowel ending a rhyme prevents its being مُقَيّد, i. e. “bound” by the preceding consonant]: (Mughnee;) and أَلِفُ الفَاصِلَةِ [the alif of the final word of a verse of poetry or of a verse of the Kur-án or of a clause of rhyming prose]. (TA.) [This last appellation must not be confounded with that which here next follows.] b7: الأَلِفُ الفَاصِلَةِ [The separating alif] is the ا which is written after the و of the pl. to make a separation between that و and what follows it, as in شَكَرُوا (T, K) and كَفَرُوا, and in the like of يَغْزُوا and يَدْعُوا [and يَرْضَوْا]; but when a pronoun is affixed to the verb, this ا, being needless, does not remain: (T:) also the ا which makes a separation between the ن which is a sign of the fem. gender and the heavy [or doubled] ن [in the corroborated form of the aor. and imperative], (T, K,) because a triple combination of ن is disliked, (T,) as in [يَفْعَلْنَانِّ and تَفْعَلْنَانِّ and] اِفْعَلْنَانِّ (T, K) and لَا تَفْعَلْنَانِّ. (T.) b8: أَلِفُ النُّونِ الخَفِيفَةِ [The alif of the light, or single, noon in the contracted corroborated form of the aor. and imperative], as in the phrase in the Kur [xcvi. 15], لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ [explained in art. سفع], (T, K,) and the phrase [in xii. 32], وَلَيَكُونًا مِنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ [And he shall assuredly be of those in a state of vileness, or ignominy], in both of which instances the pause is made with ا [only, without tenween, so that one says لَنَسْفَعَا and لَيَكُونَا, and this seems to be indicated in Expositions of the Kur-án as the proper pronunciation of these two words in the phrases here cited, the former of which, and the first word of the latter, I find thus written in an excellent copy of the Mughnee, with a fet-hah only instead of tenween, though I find them written in copies of the Kur-án and of the K with tenween, and for this reason only I have written them therewith in the first places above], this ا being a substitute for the light ن, which is originally the heavy ن: and among examples of the same is the saying of El-Aashà, وَلَاتَحْمِدَ المُثْرِينَ وَاللّٰهَ فَاحْمَدَا [And praise not thou the opulent, but God do thou praise], the poet meaning فَاحْمَدَنْ, but pausing with an ا: (T:) and accord. to 'Ikrimeh Ed-Dabbee, in the saying of Imra-el-Keys, قَفَا نَبْكِ مِنْ ذِكَري حَبِيبٍ وَمَنْزِلِ [what is meant is, Do thou pause that we may weep by reason of the remembrance of an object of love, and of a place of abode, for] the poet means قِفَنْ, but substitutes ا for the light ن; (TA;) or, accord. to some, قفا is in this case [a dual] addressed to the poet's two companions. (EM p. 4.) b9: أَلِفُ العِوَضِ [The alif of exchange] is that which is substituted for the tenween (T, K) of the accus. case when one pauses upon it, (T,) as in رَأَيْتُ زَيْدَا (T, K [and so in the copy of the Mughnee mentioned above, but in the copies of the T I find زَيْدًا,]) and فَعَلْتُ خَيْرَا and the like. (T.) b10: أَلِفُ التَّعَايِى [The alif of inability to express what one desires to say], (T,) or أَلِفَ التَغَابِى

[the alif of feigning negligence or heedlessness], (K,) [but the former is evidently, in my opinion, the right appellation,] is that which is added when one says إِنَّ عُمَرَ, and then, being unable to finish his saying, pauses, saying إِنَّ عُمَرَا, [in the CK عُمَرَآ,] prolonging it, desiring to be helped to the speech that should reveal itself to him, (T, K,) and at length saying مُنْطَلِقٌ, meaning to say, if he were not unable to express it, إِنَّ عُمَرَ مُنْطِلَقٌ [Verily 'Omar is going away]. (T.) The ا in a case of this kind is [also] said to be لِلتَّذَكُّرِ [ for the purpose of endeavouring to remember]; and in like manner, و, when one desires to say, يَقُومُ زَيْدٌ, and, forgetting زيد, prolongs the sound in endeavouring to remember, and says يَقُومُو. (Mughnee in the sections on ا and و.) It is also added to a curtailed proper name of a person called to, or hailed, as in يَا عُمَا for يَا عُمَرُ [which is an ex. contrary to rule, as عُمَرُ is masc. and consists of only three letters]. (T.) b11: أَلِفُ النُّدْبَةِ [The alif of lamentation], as in وَا زَيْدَاهْ [Alas, Zeyd!], (T, K,) i. e. the ا after the د; (T;) and one may say وَا زَيْدَا, without the ه of pausation. (Alfeeyeh of Ibn-Málik, and I 'Ak p. 272.) b12: أَلِفُ الاِسْتِنْكَارِ [The alif of disapproval], (T,) or الأَلِفُ لِلْإِنْكَارِ [which means the same], (Mughnee,) is similar to that next preceding, as in أَأَبُو عُمَرَاهّ [What! Aboo-'Omar?] in reply to one who says, “Aboo-'Omar came;” the ه being added in this case after the letter of prolongation like as it is in وَا فُلَانَاهْ said in lamentation. (T.) [The ex. given in the Mughnee is آ عَمْرَاهْ, as said in reply to one who says, “I met 'Amr;” and thus I find it written, with آ; but this is a mistranscription of the interrogative أَ, which see below.] In this case it is only added to give fulness of sound to the vowel; for you say, أَلرَّجُلُوهْ [What! the man? for أَالرَّجُلُوهْ,] after one has said “The man stood;” and أَلرَّجُلَاهْ in the accus. case; and أَلرَّجُلِيهْ in the gen. case. (Mughnee in the section on و. [But in my copy of that work, in these instances, the incipient ا, which is an ا of interrogation, is written آ.]) b13: الأَلِفُ المُنْقَلِبَةُ عَنْ يَآءِ الإِضَافَةِ [The alif that is converted from the affixed pronoun ى], as in يَا غُلَامَا أَقْبِلْ [O my boy, advance thou,] for يَا غُلَامِى; (TA in art. حرز;) [and يَاعَجَبَا لِزَيْدٍ (I 'Ak p. 271) O my wonder at Zeyd! for يا عَجَبِى لزيد;] and in يَا أَبَتَا for يَا أَبَتِى, and يَا وَيْلَتَا for يَا وَيْلَتِى, and يَابِأَبَا and يَا بِأَبَاهْ for يَا بِأَبِى (T and TA in art. بأ.) [This is sometimes written ى, but preceded by a fet-hah.] b14: الأَلِفُ المُحَوَّلَةُ [The transmuted alif, in some copies of the K أَلِفُ المُحَوَّلَةِ, which, as MF observes, is put for the former,] is every ا that is originally و or ى (T, K) movent, (T,) as in قَالَ [originally قَوَلَ], and بَاعَ [originally بَيَعَ], (T, K,) and غَزَا [originally غَزَوَ], and قَضَى [originally قَضَى], and the like of these. (T.) b15: أَلِفُ التَثْنِيَةِ [The alif of the dual, or rather, of dualization], (T, K,) in verbs, (TA,) as in يَجْلِسَانِ and يَذْهَبَانِ, (T, K,) and in nouns, (T,) as in الزَّيْدَانِ (T, K) and العَمْرَانِ; (T;) [i. e.] the ا which in verbs is a dual pronoun, as in فَعَلَا and يَفُعَلَانِ, and in nouns a sign of the dual and an indication of the nom. case, as in رَجُلَانِ. (S.) b16: It is also indicative of the accus. case, as in رَأَيْتُ فَاهُ [I saw his mouth]. (S.) b17: أَلِفُ الجَمْعِ [The alif of the plural, or of pluralization], as in مَسَاجِدُ and جِبَالٌ (T, K) and فُرْسَانٌ and فَوَاعِلُ. (T.) b18: أَلِفُ التَّأْنِيثِ [The alif denoting the fem. gender], as in حُبْلَى (Mughnee, K) and سَكْرَى [in which it is termed مَقْصُورَة shortened], and the meddeh in حَمْرَآءُ (K) and بَيْضَآءُ and نُفَسَآءُ [in which it is termed مَمْدُودَة lengthened]. (TA.) b19: أَلِفُ الإِلْحَاقِ [The alif of adjunction, or quasi-coordination; that which renders a word an adjunct to a particular class, i. e. quasi-coordinate to another word, of which the radical letters are more in number than those of the former word, (see the sentence next following,)], (Mughnee, TA,) as in أَرْطًا (Mughnee) [or أَرْطًى; and the meddeh in عِلْبَآءٌ &c.]. b20: أَلِفُ التَكْثِيرِ [The alif of multiplication, i. e. that merely augments the number of the letters of a word without making it either fem. or quasi-coordinate to another, unaugmented, word], as in قَبَعْثَرَى (Mughnee, TA) [correctly قَبَعْثَرًى], in which the ا [here written ى] is not to denote the fem. gender, (S and K in art. قبعثر,) because its fem. is قَبَعْثَرَاةٌ, as Mbr. says; (S and TA in that art.;) nor to render it quasi-coordinate to another word, (K and TA in that art.,) as is said in the Lubáb, because there is no noun of six radical letters to which it can be made to be so; but accord. to Ibn-Málik, a word is sometimes made quasi-coordinate to one comprising augmentative letters, as اِقْعَنْسَسَ is to اِحْرَنْجَمَ. (TA in that art.) A3: أَلِفَاتُ الوَصْلِ [The alifs of conjunction or connexion, or the conjunctive or connexive alifs], (T, K,) which are in the beginnings of nouns, (T,) [as well as in certain well-known cases in verbs,] occur in ابْنٌ (T, K) and ابْنُمٌ (K) and ابْنَةٌ and اثْنَانِ and اثْنَتَانِ and امْرُؤٌ and امْرَأَةٌ and اسْمٌ and اسْتٌ, (T, K,) which have a kesreh to the ا when they commence a sentence, [or occur alone, i. e., when immediately preceded by a quiescence,] but it is elided when they are connected with a preceding word, (T,) [by which term “word” is included a particle consisting of a single letter with its vowel,] and ايْمُنٌ and ايْمُ [and variations thereof, which have either a fet-hah or a kesreh to the ا when they commence a sentence, or occur alone], (K,) and in the article الْ, the ا of which has a fet-hah when it commences a sentence. (T.) A4: أَلِفُ القَطْعِ [The alif of disjunction, or the disjunctive alif,] is in the beginnings of sing. nouns and of pl. nouns: it may be known by its permanence in the dim., and by its not being a radical letter: thus it occurs in أَحْسَنُ, of which the dim. is أُحَيْسِنُ: (I Amb, T:) in pls. it occurs in أَلْوَانٌ and أَزْوَاجٌ (I Amb, T, K) and أَلْسِنَةٌ [&c.]: (I Amb, T:) [it also occurs in verbs of the measure أَفْعَلَ, as أَكْرَمَ; in which cases it is sometimes لِلسَّلْبِ, i. e. privative, (like the Greek alpha,) as in أَقْسَطَ “he did away with injustice,” which is termed قُسُوطٌ and قَسْطٌ, inf. ns. of قَسَطَ:] it is distinguished from the radical ا, as shown above: (I Amb, T:) or it is sometimes augmentative, as the interrogative أَ [to be mentioned below]; and sometimes radical, as in أَخَذَ and أَمَرَ; and is thus distinguished from the conjunctive ا, which is never other than augmentative. (S.) b2: أَلِفُ التَّفْضِيلِ وَ التَّقْصِيرِ [The alif denoting excess and deficiency, i. e., denoting the comparative and superlative degrees], as in فُلَانٌ أَكْرَمُ مِنْكَ [Such a one is more generous, or noble, than thou], (T, K, *) and أَلْأَمُ مِنْكَ [more ungenerous, or ignoble, than thou], (T,) and أَجْهَلُ النَّاسِ [the most ignorant of men]. (T, K. *) b3: أَلِفُ العِبَارَةِ [The alif of signification], (T, K,) as though, (T,) or because, (TA,) significant of the speaker, (T, TA,) also called العَامِلَةِ [the operative], as in أَنَا أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ [I beg forgiveness of God], (T, K,) and أَنَا أَفْعَلُ كَذَا [I do thus]. (T.) b4: أَلِفُ الاِسْتِفْهَامِ [The alif of interrogation, or the interrogative alif], (T, S, Msb in art. همز, Mughnee,) as in أَزَيْدٌ قَائِمٌ [Is Zeyd standing?], (Mughnee,) and أَزَيْدٌ عِنْدَكَ أَمْ عَمْرٌو [Is Zeyd with thee, or at thine abode, or 'Amr?], (S,) and أَقَامَ زَيْدٌ [Did Zeyd stand?], said when the asker is in ignorance, and to which the answer is لَا or نَعَمْ; (Msb;) and in a negative phrase, as أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ [Did we not dilate, or enlarge? in the Kur xciv. 1]. (Mughnee.) When this is followed by another hemzeh, an ا is interposed between the two hemzehs, [so that you say أَاأَنْتَ, also written آأَنْتَ,] as in the saying of Dhu-r-Rummeh, أَيَا ظَبْيَةَ الوَعْسَآءَ بَيْنَ جَلَاجِلٍ وَبَيْنَ النَّقَا أَاأَنْتِ أَمْ أُمُّ سَالِمِ [O thou doe-gazelle of El-Waasà between Jelájil and the oblong gibbous hill of sand, is it thou, or Umm-Sálim?]; (T, S;) but some do not this. (T.) [It is often conjoined with إِنَّ, as in the Kur xii. 90, أَئِنَّكَ لَأَنْتَ يُوسُفُ Art thou indeed Joseph?] It is sometimes used to make a person acknowledge, or confess, a thing, (T, Msb in art. همز, Mughnee,) and to establish it, (Msb,) as in the phrase in the Kur [v. 116], أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ or آأَنْتَ [Didst thou say to men?], (T,) and أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ [explained above], (Msb in art. همز,] and in أَضَرَبْتَ زَيْدًا or أَأَنْتَ ضَرَبْتَ [Didst thou beat Zeyd?], and أَزَيْدًا ضَرَبْتَ [Zeyd didst thou beat?]. (Mughnee.) And for reproving, (T, Mughnee,) as in the phrase in the Kur [xxxvii. 153], أصْطَفَى الْبَنَاتِ عَلَى الْبَنِينَ [Hath He chosen daughters in preference to sons?], (T,) [but see the next sentence,] and [in the same ch., verse 93,] أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ [Do ye worship what ye hew out?]. (Mughnee.) And to express a nullifying denial, as in [the words of the Kur xvii. 42,] أَفَأَصْفَاكُمْ رَبَّكُمْ بِالْبَنِينَ وَاتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنَاثًا [Hath then your Lord preferred to give unto you sons, and gotten for himself, of the angels, daughters?]. (Mughnee.) And to denote irony, as in [the Kur xi. 89,] أَصَلَوَاتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ نَتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا [Do thy prayers enjoin thee that we should leave what our fathers worshipped?]. (Mughnee.) And to denote wonder, as in [the Kur xxv.47,] أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ [Hast thou not considered the work of thy Lord, how He hath extended the shade?]. (Mughnee.) And to denote the deeming a thing slow, or tardy, as in [the Kur lvii., 15,] أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلّذِينَ آمَنُوا [Hath not the time yet come for those who have believed?]. (Mughnee.) and to denote a command, as in [the Kur iii. 19,] أَأَسْلَمْتُمْ, meaning أَسْلِمُوا [Enter ye into the religion of El-Islám]. (Mughnee, and so Jel.) and to denote equality, occurring after سَوَآءٌ and مَا أُبَالِى and مَا أَدْرِى and لَيْتَ شِعْرِى, and the like, as in [the Kur lxiii.6,] سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ [It will be equal to them whether thou beg forgiveness for them or do not beg forgiveness for them], and in ,َا أُبَالِى أَقُمْتَ أَمْ قَعَدْتَ [I care not whether thou stand or sit]: and the general rule is this, that it is the hemzeh advening to a phrase, or proposition, of which the place may be supplied by the inf. n. of its verb; for one may say, سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمُ الاِسْتِغْفَارُ وَعَدَمُهُ [Equal to them will be the begging of forgiveness and the not doing so], and مَا أَبَالِى بِقِيَامِكَ وَعَدَمِهِ [I care not for thy standing and thy not doing so]: (Mughnee.) b5: أَلِفُ النِّدَآءِ [The alif of calling, or vocative alif], (T, S,* Mughnee,* K,) as in أَزَيْدُ, meaning يَا زَيْدُ [O Zeyd], (T, K,) and in أَزَيْدُ أَقْبِلْ [O Zeyd, advance], (S,) used in calling him who is near, (S, Mughnee,) to the exclusion of him who is distant, because it is abbreviated. (S.) آ with medd, is a particle used in calling to him who is distant, (Mughnee, K,) as in آَزَيْدُ أَقْبِلْ [Ho there, or soho, or holla, Zeyd, advance]. (TA.) Az says, Yousay to a man, in calling him, آفُلَانُ and أَفُلَانُ and آيَا فُلَانُ (TA) or أَيَا. (S and K in art. ايا.) b6: إِاللّٰهِ, for إِىْ وَاللّٰهِ: see إِى. b7: In a dial. of some of the Arabs, hemzeh is used in a case of pausing at the end of a verb, as in their saying to a woman, قُولِئْ [Say thou], and to two men, قُولَأْ [Say ye two], and to a pl. number, قُولُؤْ [Say ye]; but not when the verb is connected with a word following it: and they say also لَأْ, with a hemzeh, [for لَا,] in a case of pausation. (T.) But Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà says, All men say that when a hemzeh occurs at the end of a word, [i. e. in a case of pausation,] and has a quiescent letter before it, it is elided in the nom. and gen. case, though retained in the accus. case [because followed by a quiescent ا], except Ks alone, who retains it in all cases: when it occurs in the middle of a word, all agree that it should not be dropped. (T.) Az [however] says that the people of El-Hijáz, and Hudheyl, and the people of Mekkeh and ElMedeeneh, do not pronounce hemzeh [at all]: and 'Eesà Ibn-'Omar says, Temeem pronounce hemzeh, and the people of El-Hijáz, in cases of necessity, [in poetry,] do so. (T.) b8: Ks cites, [as exhibiting two instances of a rare usage of أَا, or آ, in a case of pausing, in the place of a suppressed word,] دَعَا فُلَانٌ رَبَّهُ فَأَسْمَعَا الخَيْرُ خَيْرَانِ وَ إِنْ شَرٌّ فَأَا وَلَا أُرِيدُ الشَّرَّ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأَا [written without the syll. signs in the MS. from which I transcribe this citation, but the reading seems to be plain, and the meaning, Such a one supplicated his Lord, and made his words to be heard, saying, Good is double good; and if evil be my lot, then evil; but I desire not evil unless Thou will that it should befall me]: and he says, he means, إِلَّا أَنْ تَشَآءَ; this being of the dial. of Benoo-Saad, except that it is [with them] تَا, with a soft ا [only]: also, in replying to a person who says, “Wilt thou not come?” one says, فَأْ, meaning فَاذْهَبْ [Then go thou with us]: and in like manner, by فأا, in the saying above, is meant فَشَّرٌّ. (TA.) A5: Hemzeh also sometimes occurs as a verb; إِه, i. e.! with the إِ of pausation added, being the imperative of وَأَى as syn. with وَعَدَ. (Mughnee.) A6: [As a numeral, 1 denotes One.]

أَذْرِعاتُ:
بالفتح، ثم السكون، وكسر الراء، وعين مهملة، وألف وتاء. كأنه جمع أذرعة، جمع ذراع جمع قلة: وهو بلد في أطراف الشام، يجاور أرض البلقاء وعمّان، ينسب اليه الخمر، وقال الحافظ أبو القاسم: أذرعات مدينة بالبلقاء.
وقال النحويون بالتثنية والجمع تزول الخصوصية عن الأعلام، فتنكّر وتجري مجرى النّكرة من أسماء الأجناس، فإذا أردت تعريفه، عرّفته بما تعرّف به الأجناس، وأما نحو أبانين وأذرعات وعرفات فتسميته ابتداء تثنية وجمع، كما لو سمّيت رجلا بخليلان، أو مساجد، وإنما عرّف مثل ذلك بغير حرف تعريف، وجعلت أعلاما لأنها لا تفترق، فنزّلت منزلة شيء واحد، فلم يقع إلباس، واللغة الفصيحة في عرفات الصرف، ومنع الصرف لغة، تقول: هذه عرفات وأذرعات، ورأيت عرفات وأذرعات، ومررت بعرفات وأذرعات، لأن فيه سببا واحدا، وهذه التاء التي فيه للجمع لا للتأنيث لأنه اسم لمواضع مجتمعة، فجعلت تلك المواضع اسما واحدا، وكان اسم كل موضع منها عرفة وأذرعة، وقيل: بل الاسم جمع والمسمّى مفرد، فلذلك لم يتنكّر، وقيل: إن التاء فيه لم تتمحّض للتأنيث ولا للجمع، فأشبهت التاء في نبات وثبات، وأما من منعها الصرف فإنه يقول:
إن التنوين فيها للمقابلة التي تقابل النون التي في جمع المذكر السالم، فعلى هذا غير منصرفة. وقد ذكرتها العرب في أشعارها، لأنها لم تزل من بلادها في الإسلام وقبله، قال بعض الأعراب:
ألا أيها البرق، الذي بات يرنقي ... ويجلو دجى الظّلماء، ذكّرتني نجدا
وهيّجتني من أذرعات وما أرى، ... بنجد على ذي حاجة، طربا بعدا
ألم تر أن الليل يقصر طوله ... بنجد، وتزداد الرياح به بردا؟
وقال امرؤ القيس:
ومثلك بيضاء العوارض طفلة ... لعوب تنسّيني، إذا قمت، سربالي
تنوّرتها من أذرعات، وأهلها ... بيثرب، أدنى دارها نظر عال
وينسب إلى أذرعات أذرعيّ، وخرج منها طائفة من أهل العلم، منهم إسحاق بن ابراهيم الأذرعي بن هشام ابن يعقوب بن ابراهيم بن عمرو بن هاشم بن أحمد، ويقال: ابن ابراهيم بن زامل أبو يعقوب النّهدي، أحد الثقات من عباد الله الصالحين، رحل وحدث عن محمد بن الخضر بن علي الرافعي، ويحيى بن أيوب بن ناوي العلّاف، وأبي زيد يوسف بن يزيد القراطيسي، وأحمد بن حماد بن عيينة، وأبي زرعة، وأبي عبد الرحمن النسائي، وخلق كثير غير هؤلاء. وحدث عنه أبو علي محمد بن هرون بن شعيب، وتمّام بن محمد الرازي، وأبو الحسين بن جميع، وعبد الوهاب الكلابي، وأبو عبد الله بن مندة، وأبو الحسن الرازي وغيرهم، وقال أبو الحسن الرازي: كان الأذرعيّ من أجلّة أهل دمشق وعبّادها وعلمائها، ومات يوم عيد الأضحى سنة 344 عن نيف وتسعين سنة، ومحمد بن الزّعيزعة الأذرعي وغيرهما، ومحمد ابن عثمان بن خراش أبو بكر الأذرعي. حدث عن محمد بن عقبة العسقلاني، ويعلى بن الوليد الطبراني، وأبي عبيد محمد بن حسان البسري، ومحمد بن عبد الله بن موسى القراطيسي، والعباس بن الوليد بن يوسف بن يونس الجرجاني، ومسلمة بن عبد الحميد.
روى عنه أبو يعقوب الأذرعي، وأبو الخير أحمد ابن محمد بن أبي الخير، وأبو بكر محمد بن ابراهيم بن أسد القنوي، وأبو الحسن عليّ بن جعفر بن محمد الرازي وغيرهم. وعبد الوهاب بن عبد الله بن عمر بن أيوب بن المعمّر بن قعنب بن يزيد بن كثير بن مرة ابن مالك أبو نصر المرّي الإمام الحافظ الشروطي يعرف بابن الأذرعي وبابن الجبّان. روى عن أبي القاسم الحسن بن عليّ البجلي، وأبي عليّ بن أبي الزمام، والمظفر بن حاجب بن أركين، وأبي الحسن الدارقطني وخلق كثير لا يحصون. روى عنه أبو الحسن بن السمسار، وأبو عليّ الأهوازي، وعبد العزيز الكنّاني وجماعة كثيرة، وكان ثقة، وقال عبد العزيز الكناني: مات شيخنا وأستاذنا عبد الوهاب المرّي في شوّال سنة 425، وصنف كتبا كثيرة، وكان يحفظ شيئا من علم الحديث.

بَرْذَعَة:
وقد رواه أبو سعد بالدال المهملة، والعين مهملة عند الجميع: بلد في أقصى أذربيجان، قال حمزة: برذعة معرب برده دار، ومعناه بالفارسية موضع السبي، وذلك أن بعض ملوك الفرس سبى سبيا من وراء أرمينية وأنزلهم هناك، وقال هلال بن المحسن: برذعة قصبة أذربيجان، وذكر ابن الفقيه أن برذعة هي مدينة أرّان، وهي آخر حدود أذربيجان، كان أول من أنشأ عمارتها قباذ الملك، وهي في سهل من الأرض، عمارتها بالآجر والجص، وقال صاحب كتاب الملحمة: مدينة برذعة طولها تسع وسبعون درجة وثلاثون دقيقة، وعرضها خمس وأربعون درجة في الإقليم السادس، طالعها الحوت ثلاث عشرة درجة، كفّ الخضيب في درجة طالعها وقلب العقرب في خامسها ويد الجوزاء في رابعها وسرّة الجوزاء في رابعها بالحقيقة، وذكر أبو عون في زيجه: برذعة في الإقليم الخامس، طولها ثلاث وسبعون درجة، وعرضها ثلاث وأربعون درجة، وقال الإصطخري: برذعة مدينة كبيرة جدّا أكثر من فرسخ في فرسخ، وهي نزهة خصبة كثيرة الزرع والثمار جدّا، وليس ما بين العراق وخراسان بعد الرّيّ وأصبهان مدينة أكبر ولا أخصب ولا أحسن موضعا من مرافق برذعة، ومنها على أقلّ من فرسخ موضع يسمى الأندراب ما بين كرنة ولصوب ويقطان أكثر من مسيرة يوم، مشتبكة البساتين والباغات، كلها فواكه، وفيها الفندق الجيد أجود من فندق سمرقند، وبها شاه بلّوط أجود من شاه بلوط الشام، ولهم فواكه تسمى الروقال في تقدير الغبيراء، حلو الطعم إذا أدرك، وفيه مرارة قبل أن يدرك، وببرذعة تين يحمل من لصوب يفضّل على جميع أجناسه، ويرتفع منها من الإبريسم شيء كثير مستحدث من توت مباح لا مالك له، يجهز منه إلى فارس وخوزستان جهازا واسعا. وعلى ثلاثة فراسخ من برذعة نهر الكرّ فيه الشورماهي الذي يحمل إلى الآفاق مملّحا، وهو نوع من السمك، ويرتفع من نهر الكرّ سمك أيضا يقال له الدّواقن والعشب، وهما سمكان يفضّلان على أجناس السمك بتلك النواحي. وببرذعة باب يسمّى باب الأكراد تقوم عنده سوق تسمى الكرّكّي في يوم الأحد
يكون مقدارها فرسخا في فرسخ، يجتمع فيها الناس كل يوم الأحد من كل أسبوع من كل وجه وأوب حتى من العراق، وهو أكبر من سوق كورسره، وقد غلب على هذا اليوم اسم الكرّكّي حتى إن كثيرا منهم إذا عدّ أيام الأسبوع قال:
الجمعة والسبت والكرّكي والاثنين والثلاثاء حتى يعد أيام الأسبوع. وبيت ما لهم في المسجد الجامع على رسم الشام، فإن بيوت الأموال بالشام في مساجدها، وهو بيت مال مرصّص السطح وعليه باب حديد وهو على تسع أساطين، ودار الإمارة بجنب الجامع في المدينة والأسواق في ربضها، قلت: هذه صفة قديمة فأما الآن فليس من ذلك كله شيء، وقد لقيت من أهل برذعة بأذربيجان من سألته عن بلده فذكر أن آثار الخراب بها كثيرة وليس بها الآن إلا كما يكون في القرى ناس قليل وحال مضطرب وصعلكة ظاهرة وضرّ باد ودور متهدّمة وخراب مستول عليهم، فسبحان من يحيل ولا يحول ويزيل ولا يزول وله في خلقه تدبير لا يظهر لأحد من خلقه سرّ المصلحة. ومن برذعة إلى جنزة، وهي كنجة، تسعة فراسخ، وقال مسلم ابن الوليد يرثي يزيد بن مزيد وكان قد مات ببرذعة سنة 135:
قبر ببرذعة، استسرّ ضريحه ... خطرا، تقاصر دونه الأخطار
أجل تنافسه الحمام، وحفرة ... نفست عليها وجهك الأحجار
أبقى الزمان على معدّ، بعده، ... حزنا، لعمر الدّهر ليس يعار
نفضت بك الآمال أحلاس الغنى، ... واسترجعت نزّاعها الأمصار
سلكت بك العرب السبيل إلى العلى، ... حتى إذا بلغ المدى بك حاروا
فاذهب، كما ذهبت غوادي مزنة ... أثنى عليها السّهل والأوعار
وأما فتحها فقد قالوا: سار سلمان بن ربيعة الباهلي في أيام عثمان بن عفان، رضي الله عنه، بعد فتح بيلقان إلى برذعة فعسكر على الثّرثور، وهو نهر منها على أقل من فرسخ، فأغلق أهلها دونه أبوابها فشنّ الغارات في قراها، وكانت زروعها مستحصدة فصالحوه على مثل صلح البيلقان، فدخلها وأقام بها ووجّه خيله ففتحت بلادا أخر، وينسب إلى برذعة جماعة من الأئمة، منهم مكّيّ بن أحمد بن سعدويه البرذعي أحد المحدثين المكثرين والرّحالين المحصّلين، سمع بدمشق أحمد بن عمير ومحمد بن يوسف الهروي وبأطرابلس أبا القاسم عبد الله بن الحسن بن عبد الرحمن البزّاز وببغداد أبا القاسم البغوي وأبا محمد صاعدا وبغيرها أبا يعلى محمد بن الفضل بن زهير وأبا عروبة وأبا جعفر الطحاوي وعبد الحكم بن أحمد المصري ومحمد بن أحمد بن رجاء الحنفي ومحمد بن عمير الحنفي بمصر وعرس بن فهد الموصلي، روى عنه الأستاذ أبو الوليد حسان بن محمد الفقيه والحاكم أبو عبد الله وأبو الفضل نصر بن محمد بن أحمد بن يعقوب العطّار الرّسّي، وكان نزل نيسابور سنة 330 فأقام بها ثم خرج إلى ما وراء النهر سنة 350، وكتب بخراسان ما يتحير فيه الإنسان كثرة، وتوفي بالشاش سنة 354، وسعيد بن عمرو بن عمّار أبو عثمان الأزدي، سمع بدمشق أبا زرعة الدمشقي وأبا يعقوب الجوزجاني وأبا سعيد الأشجّ ومسلم بن الحجاج الحافظ ومحمد بن يحيى الذهلي وأبا زرعة وأبا حاتم الرازيّين ومحمد بن إسحاق الصاغاني وغيرهم، روى
عنه محمد بن يوسف بن إبراهيم وأبو عبد الله أحمد ابن طاهر بن النجم الميانجي وغيرهما، وقال حفص بن عمر الأردبيلي: جلس سعيد بن عمرو البرذعي في منزله وأغلق بابه وقال: ما أحدّث الناس فإن الناس قد تغيّروا، فاستعان عليه أصحاب الحديث بمحمد بن مسلم بن واره الرازي فدخل عليه وسأله أن يحدثهم، فقال: ما أفعل، فقال: بحقي عليك إلّا حدّثتهم، فقال: وأيّ حق لك عليّ؟ فقال: أخذت يوما بركابك، فقال: قضيت حقّا لله عليك وليس لك عليّ حقّ، فقال: إن قوما اغتابوك فرددت عنك، فقال: هذا أيضا يلزمك لجماعة المسلمين، قال:
فإني عبرت بك يوما في ضيعتك فتعلّقت بي إلى طعامك فأدخلت على قلبك سرورا، فقال: أما هذه فنعم، فأجابه إلى ما أراد، وعبد العزيز بن الحسن البرذعي الحافظ العابد أبو بكر من الرّحّالة، سمع بدمشق محمد بن العباس بن الدّرفس وبمصر محمد بن أحمد الحافظ وأبا يعقوب إسحاق بن إبراهيم بن يونس البغدادي المنجنيقي وبالموصل أحمد بن عمر الموصلي، وأظنه أبا يعلى لأنه يروي عن غسّان بن الربيع، روى عنه أبو علي الحسين بن علي بن يزيد الحافظ وأبو إسحاق إبراهيم بن محمد بن يحيى المزكّي وأبو محمد عبد الله بن سعيد الحافظ، وقال الحاكم أبو عبد الله في تاريخه: عبد العزيز بن الحسن أبو بكر البرذعي العابد، وهو من الغرباء الرّحّالة الذين وردوا على أبي بكر محمد بن إسحاق بن خزيمة فائتمنه أبو بكر على حديثه لزهده وورعه وصار المفيد بنيسابور في حياة أبي بكر وبعد وفاته، ثم خرج سنة 318 من نيسابور إلى رباط فراوة فأقام به مدة ثم سكن نسا إلى أن توفي بها سنة 323. وجوّ برذعة: أرض لبني نمير باليمامة في جوف الرّمل، فيها نخل.

سق

ى1 سَقَاهُ, aor. ـْ (K,) inf. n. سَقْىٌ; (TA; [see also سِقَايَةٌ, which is likewise said to be an inf. n. of the same verb;]) and ↓ سقّاهُ, (K,) with teshdeed; (TA;) and ↓ اسقاهُ; (K, TA; [in the CK, erroneously, اسْتَقاهُ;]) all have one meaning; (TA;) [i. e. He gave him to drink, generally water, often milk, and sometimes poison or some other thing: and the first often signifies he watered him, namely, a beast; and in like manner seed produce &c., i. e. irrigated it; as will be shown by what follows:] or سَقَاهُ [is said when you mean he gave him drink] لِشَفَتِهِ [to his lip], (S,) or بِالشَّفَةِ [by means of the lip], as also ↓ سقّاهُ; and ↓ اسقاهُ means he directed him to water, (K,) or he watered (سَقَى) his cattle or his land: (S, * K:) or both of them, (K, TA,) i. e. سَقَاهُ and ↓ اسقاهُ, (TA,) signify he assigned to him, or gave to him, (جَعَلَ لَهُ,) water, (K, TA,) or drink, or water for irrigation; so that سَقَاهُ is like كَسَاهُ, and ↓ اسقى is like آَلْبَسَ, as Sb says: (TA:) or, as some say, سَقَيْتُهُ I gave him water to his mouth; and ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, I assigned to him, or gave to him, (جَعَلْتُ لَهُ,) drink, or water for irrigation, that he might do as he would; and like them are كَسَوْتُهُ and أَكْسَيْتُهُ: (Ham p. 45:) Er-Rághib says that السَّقْىُ signifies the giving one drink; and ↓ الإِسْقَآءُ, the giving one drink so that he may take it howsoever he will; so that the latter is more ample in meaning than the former. (TA.) Both سَقَى and ↓ اسقى are sometimes used in relation to what is in the bellies of camels or other cattle; [meaning their milk;] as in the Kur [xxiii. 21], where it is said, مِمَّا فِى بُطُونِهَا ↓ نُسْقِيكُمْ, or نَسْقِيكُمْ, [i. e. We give you to drink of what is in their bellies,] accord. to different readings. (TA.) One says, سَقَاهُ المَآءَ, [He gave him to drink water, or the water,] inf. n. as above: (Mgh:) and المَآءَ ↓ سَقَّيْتُهُ [I gave him to drink water, or the water, much, or often]: the teshdeed denotes muchness, or frequency. (S.) [See also a tropical usage of the former verb in a verse cited in p. 85, col. 3: and another, from Tarafeh, in p. 134, col. 3. One says also, سَقَى المَآءَ, without a second objective complement, He supplied, or gave, water, or the water.] And سَقَيْتُ الزَّرْعَ, [I watered, or irrigated, the seed-produce,] inf. n. as above; as also ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, (Msb.) And سَقَيْتُ فِى القِرْيَةِ and فِيهَا ↓ أَسْقَيْتُ [I poured water into the water-skin]: a poet says, [in one of my copies of the S, Dhu-r-Rummeh,] وَمَاشَنَّتَا خَرْقَآءَ وَاهٍ كِلَاهُمَا سَقَى فِيهِمَا مُسْتَعْجِلٌ لَمْ تَبَلَّلَا بِأَنْبَعَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ لِلدَّمْعِ كُلَّمَا تَعَرَّفْتَ دَارًا أَوْ تَوَهَّمْتَ مَنْزِلَا [And two old and worn-out skins of an unskilful woman who has not sewed them well, each of them unsound, into which a person in haste has poured water, they not having been previously moistened, (تَبَلَّلَا being for تَتَبَلَّلَا,) are not more liable to the shedding of their water than are thine eyes to the shedding of tears whenever thou investigatest a dwelling or imaginest a place of alighting, or abode]. (S.) [and hence, app.,] سَقَى فُلَانٌ فِى ذَكَرِهِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one became vehemently affected by sexual appetite. (JK.) One says also, سَقَاهُ اللّٰهُ الغَيْثَ and ↓ اسقاهُ (S, Msb, * K) God sent down rain to him, or may God send &c.: (K:) both of these verbs being used by Lebeed in his saying, سَقَى قَوْمِى بَنِى مَجْدٍ وَأَسْقَى

نُمَيْرًا وَالقَبَائِلَ مِنْ هِلَالِ [May He send down rain to my people, the sons of Mejd, and may He send down rain to Numeyr, and the tribes of Hilál]. (S.) [Hence,] one says, سَقَى اللّٰهُ عَصْرَ الشَّبِيبَةِ (assumed tropical:) [May God freshen as with rain the times, or mornings, or afternoons, of youth, or young manhood]. (A and TA in art. شب.) And سَقَيْتُ فُلَانًا, (S,) and ↓ أَسْقَيْتُهُ, and ↓ سَقَّيْتُهُ, (S, K, *) which last is the form in most repute as expressive of a prayer, (Ham p. 45,) and of which the inf. n. is تَسْقِيَةٌ, (K,) I said to such a one سَقَاكَ اللّٰهُ [May God send down rain to thee], (S and K in explanation of the second and third,) or سَقْيًا [which virtually means the same, for سَقَاكَ اللّٰهُ سَقْيًا]: (S in explanation of the first and second, and K in explanation of the second and third:) [or,] accord, to some, one says سَقَيْتُهُ when it [which he gives, i. e. water or the like,] is in his hand; [agreeably with the first explanation in this art.;] and ↓ أَسْقَيْنُهُ signifies I prayed for him, saying سَقْيًا لَكَ. (Msb.) b2: سَقَى بَطْنُهُ, (JK, S, MA, K,) inf. n. سَقِىٌ; (JK, S;) and سُقِىَ, (JK, IAth, TA,) or سَقِى, aor. ـْ inf. n. سِقًى or سَقًى; (MA;) and ↓ استسقى; (JK, S, K; [in my copy of the Msb استقى, which I doubt not to be a mistranscription, as the verb most commonly known in the sense here following is استسقى, and as this is not there mentioned;]) His belly [was, or became, diseased with dropsy, i. e.] had yellow water [meaning serum] (JK, S, Msb, K, * TA) apparent in it, (JK,) or collected in it; (S, K, TA;) for which there is scarcely, or never, any cure; (Msb, TA;) his belly became swollen [with dropsy]. MA.) b3: [In the phrase written in the CK سُقِىَ قُلْبُهُ عَدَاوَةًُ, the verb is correctly سُقِىَ: see 2.] b4: سَقَىالعَرَقُ The sweat flowed without stopping. (TA.) b5: سَقَى التَّوْبَ, and ↓ سقّاهُ, He made the garment, or piece of cloth, to imbibe a dye. (TA.) b6: [سَقَى also signifies He tempered steel; and is used in this sense in the present day: and accord. to a reading in one of my copies of the S, in art. شرخ, ↓ سقّى also has this meaning.]

b7: See also 4, last sentence.2 سَقَّىَ see 1, in six places. b2: سُقِىَ قَلْبُهُ عَدَاوَةً, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, سُقِىَ,]) and بِالعَدَاوَةِ, (TA, and thus, and thus only, in the JK,) inf. n. تَسْقِيَةٌ, (JK, TA,) (tropical:) His heart was made to imbibe enmity, (K, TA,) is said of a man to whom a thing that he dislikes, or hates, has been repeatedly done. (TA.) 3 مُسَاقَاةٌ [The giving to drink, one with another. See a tropical usage of its verb in an ex. cited in art. شف, conj. 8. b2: ] The drawing of water together. (KL.) b3: And a man's employing a man to take upon himself, or manage, the culture [or watering & c.] of palm-trees or grape-vines [or the like] on the condition of his having a certain share of their produce: (S, TA:) Az says that the people of El-'Irák term it مُعَامَلَةٌ. (TA.) 4 أَسْقَىَ see 1, in thirteen places. b2: One says also, أَسْقَيْتُهُ رَكِيَّتِى I assigned to him my well [to draw water therefrom]: and أَسْقَيْتُهُ جَدْوَلًا مِنْ نَهْرِى I assigned to him [a streamlet as] a place, or source, of irrigation, from my river, or rivulet; and أَسْقَيْتُ لَهُ مِنْهُ [which means the same]. (TA.) b3: And اسقاهُ It produced in him [dropsy, or] yellow water. (JK. [See 1, near the end of the paragraph.]) b4: And He gave him a made [shin such as is termed] سِقَآء: (Az, K, TA: [it is said in the TA that وَهَبَ مِنْهُ in the K should be وَهَبَ لَهُ, as in the explanation by Az: but see art. وهب, in which it is said that وهب منه is allowable, and occurs in several trads.:]) or he gave him a hide to make of it a سِقَآء: (K:) or اسقاهُ

إِهَابًا has the latter meaning: (JK, TA:) and أَسْقِ إِهَابَهَا occurs in a trad. as meaning Give thou its hide to him who will make of it a سِقَآء, (TA,) or make thou its hide to be a سِقَآء for thee. (JK.) b5: Also, (JK, S, K, TA,) and ↓ سَقَاهُ, (K,) the latter mentioned as on the authority of IAar, but disallowed by Sh, (TA,) i. q. اِغْتَابَهُ (tropical:) [He spoke evil of him, or traduced him, in his absence or otherwise], (JK, S, K, TA,) in a foul manner; (TA;) and imputed to him a vice, fault, or the like: (S, TA:) and J cites [in the S] a verse of Ibn-Ahmar ending with the phrase أَسْقَى

↓ سِقَائِيَا [app. as meaning (assumed tropical:) Who has spoken evil of me, & c.]. (TA.) 5 تسقّى It (a thing) received, or admitted, moisture, (M, TA,) or irrigation; or became plentifully irrigated, or succulent, or sappy. (M, K, TA.) The Hudhalee (El-Mutanakhkhil, TA) says.

مُجَدَّلٌ يَتَسَقَّى جِلْدُهُ دَمَهُ كَمَا تَقَطَّرَ جِذْعُ الدَّوْمَةِ القُطُلُ

meaning [Thrown down upon the ground, his skin] becomes drenched with his blood (يَتَشَرَّبُهُ) [like as drips the severed trunk of the Theban palm-tree]: or, as some relate the verse, يَتَكَسَّى

[becomes overspread, here meaning suffused], from الكِسْوَةُ. (S, TA.) b2: تَسَقَّتِ الإِبِلُ الحَوْذَانَ (assumed tropical:) The camels ate the حوذان (a certain plant, TA) in its fresh and moist state, and became fat upon it.

[See also 3.]8 استقى He drew water (TA) مِن البِئْرِ [from the well], (S, TA,) and مِنَ النَّهْرِ [from the river, or rivulet]. (TA. [Golius and Freytag make the verb in this sense, erroneously, استسقى; but the former mentions استقِىِ also in the same sense.]) [And استقى عَلَى بَعِيرٍ He drew water upon a camel in a manner expl. voce سَانِيَةٌ, q. v.: often occurring in the Lexicons.] b2: And (tropical:) He was, or became, fat, (K, TA,) and satisfied with drinking of water. (TA.) b3: See also 10, in two places.10 استسقى He sought, or demanded, drink (سِقْيًا, K, TA, [in the CK سَقْيًا,] i. e. مَا يُشْرَبُ, TA); منْهُ [from him]; as also ↓ استقى. (K, TA. [In the CK is immediately added after this explanation, وسَقِيًّا: but this is a mistranscription for وَتَقَيَّأَ; expressing another signification of these two verbs, which will be expl. below.]) And He asked, begged, or prayed, for rain; (Msb, * TA;) i. q. اِسْتَمْطَرَ (S in art. مطر, and Msb. *) [Hence, صَلَاةُ الاِسْتِسْقَآءِ The prayer of the petitioning for rain. And استسقى لَهَا He said سَقَاهَااللّٰهُ May God send down rain upon it, namely, a land: see Har p. 300.] b2: And He constrained himself to vomit; or vomited intentionally; syn. تَقَيَّأَ; [see a statement above, in this paragraph, respecting a mistranscription in the CK;] as also ↓ استقى; (K, TA;) mentioned by ISd. (TA.) b3: See also 1, in the last quarter of the paragraph.

سَقْى in the phrase سَقْىُ الفُرَاتِ, which means The towns, or villages, [or lands,] watered by the Euphrates, is said by Mtr to be an inf. n. used as a subst. [properly so termed, and, being originally an inf. n., it may be used alike as sing. and pl.]; or, in this phrase, a noun that should be prefixed to it [such as ذَات], is suppressed: or, accord. to some, it is سِقْى [q. v.], an instance of the measure فِعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; and thus it is in the handwriting of EI-Hareeree in his 22nd Makámeh. (Har p. 246.) b2: See also the next paragraph.

سِقْىٌ Drink; or what is drunk; (TA;) or what is given to drink; (K, TA;) a subst. from سَقَاهُ and أَسْقَاهُ; (S, TA; [in the former of which, this meaning is indicated, and also the meaning of water given to drink to cattle; and water with which land is irrigated;]) in the M, drink given to camels: (TA:) pl. أَسْقِيَةٌ.
