الْوَاو المُفْرَدَةُ
: مِن حُروفِ المُعْجم، وَقد تقدَّم ذِكْرها، وَهِي على (أَقْسام:
(الأُولَى: العاطِفَةُ لمُطْلَقِ الجَمْع) مِن غيرِ تَرْتيبٍ (فَتَعْطِفُ الشَّيءَ على مصاحِبِه) كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {فأَنْجَيْناهُ وأَصْحابَ السَّفينةِ} ، و) تَعْطِفُ الشَّيءَ (على سابِقِه) كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {وَلَقَد أَرْسَلْنا نُوحاً وإبراهيمَ} ؛ وعَلى لاحِقِه) كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {كَذلكَ يُوحِي إِلَيْك وَإِلَى الذينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ} . والفَرْقُ بَيْنها وبَيْنَ الفاءِ أنَّ الواوَ يُعْطَفُ بهَا جُمْلَةٌ وَلَا تدلُّ على التَّرْتيبِ فِي تَقْدِيمِ المُقَدّم ذِكْره على المُؤَخّرِ ذِكْره، وأَمَّا الفرَّاء فإنَّه يُوصِلُ بهَا مَا بَعْدَها بِالَّذِي قَبْلها والمُقدّمُ الأَوَّل، وَقَالَ الفرَّاء: إِذا قلْت زُرْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ وزَيْداً فأيّهما شِئْتَ كَانَ هُوَ المُبْتَدَأ بالزِّيارَةِ، وإنْ قلْت زُرْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ فزَيْداً كانَ الأوَّل هُوَ الأوَّل والآخرُ هُوَ الآخرُ، انتَهَى. (وَإِذا قيلَ: قامَ زَيْدٌ وعَمْرٌ و، احْتَمَلَ ثلاثَةَ مَعانٍ) : المَعِيّة ومُطْلَق الجَمْع والتَّرْتيب، (وكَوْنُها للمَعِيَّةِ راجِحٌ) لمَا بَيْنهما مِن المُناسَبَةِ لأنَّ مَعَ للمُصاحَبَةِ، وَمِنْه الحديثُ: (بُعِثْتُ أَنا والساعَةُ كهَاتَيْن) ، أَي مَعَ الساعَةِ؛ (وللتَّرْتيبِ كَثيرٌ ولعَكْسِه قَليلٌ، ويجوزُ أَنْ يكونَ بَيْنَ مُتَعاطِفَيْها تَقارُبٌ أَو تَراخٍ) كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {إنَّا رَادُّوهُ إِلَيْك وجاعِلُوه مِنَ المُرْسَلِيْنَ} ، فإنَّ بينَ رَدِّ موسَى إِلَى أُمِّه وجَعْلهِ رَسُولاً زَمانٌ مُتراخٍ؛ (وَقد تَخْرُجُ الواوُ عَن إفادَةِ مُطْلَقِ الجَمْع وذلكَ على أَوْجُهٍ:
(أَحَدُها: تكونُ بمعْنَى أَوْ وذلكَ على ثلاثَةِ أَوْجُهٍ: أَحَدُها) : أَنْ (تكونَ بمعْناها فِي التَّقْسِيم، نحوُ: الكَلمةُ اسمٌ وفِعْلٌ وحَرْفٌ؛ و) الثَّانِي: (بمعْناها فِي الإباحَةِ) كَقَوْلِك: (جالِسِ الحَسَنَ وابنَ سِيرِينَ أَي أَحَدَهُما؛ و) الثالثُ: (بمَعْناها فِي التَّخْيير) كقولِ الشَّاعرِ:
(وَقَالُوا نَأَتْ فاخْتَرْ لَها الصَّبْرَ والبُكا (والوَجْهُ الثَّانِي) : أَنْ تكونَ (بمعْنَى باءِ الجَرِّ نحوُ: أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ ومالَكَ) ، أَي بمالِكَ، (وبِعْتُ الشَّاءَ شَاة ودِرْهَماً) ، أَي بدِرْهَمٍ.
(الثَّالث: بمعْنَى لامِ التَّعْليل؛ نحوُ) قَوْله تَعَالَى: {يَا لَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلَا نَكْذِبُ} ، أَي لئَلاَّ نَكْذِبَ، (قالَهُ الخارَزَنْجي) مُصنِّفُ تَكْملة العَيْن وَقد مَضَتْ تَرْجمتُه عنْدَ ذِكْرِه فِي حَرْفِ الجِيم.
(الَّرابع: وَاو الاسْتِئْنافِ) كَقَوْلِهِم: (لَا تَأْكُلِ السَّمَكَ وتَشْرَبِ اللَّبَنَ فيمَنْ رَفَعَ) ، وَقد ذُكِرَ ذلكَ فِي بَحْثِ لَا قَرِيباً.
(الْخَامِس: واوُ المَفْعولِ مَعَه: كسِرْتُ والنِّيلَ.
(السَّادِسُ: واوُ القَسَمِ) كقولِهم: واللهاِ لقَدْ كانَ كَذَا، وَهُوَ بدلٌ مِن الباءِ وإنَّما أبدلٌ مِنْهُ لقُرْبِه مِنْهُ فِي المَخْرَجِ إِذْ كانَ مِن حُروفِ الشَّفَةِ (وَلَا تَدْخُلُ إلاَّ على مُظْهَرٍ) فَلَا يقالُ وك اسْتغْنَاء بِالْبَاء عَنْهَا، (وَلَا تَتَعَلَّقُ إلاَّ بمَحْذُوفٍ نحوُ) قَوْله تَعَالَى: {والقُرآنُ الحَكِيم} ، وَلَا يقالُ أُقْسِمُ واللهاِ، (إنْ تَلَتْها واوٌ أُخْرَى) كقولِهِ تَعَالَى: {والطّورِ وكِتابٍ مَسْطورٍ} (فالثانِيَةُ للعَطْفِ) والأُولى للقَسَمِ (وإلاَّ لاحْتاجَ كلٌّ إِلَى جَوابٍ نحوُ) قَوْله تَعَالَى: {والتِّيْنِ والزَّيتُونِ) وطُورِ سِيِنِيْنَ} . (السَّابعُ: واوُ رُبّ، وَلَا تَدْخُلُ إلاَّ على مُنَكَّرٍ) مَوْصوفٍ لأنَّ وَضْعَ رُبَّ لتَقْليلِ نَوْعٍ مِن جِنْسٍ فيذكرُ الجِنْسَ ثمَّ يَخْتَصُّ بصفَةِ تَعْرفةٍ؛ وَمِنْه قولُ الشاعرِ:
وبَلْدةٍ ليسَ بهَا أَنِيسُ
إلاَّ اليَعافِيرُ وإلاَّ العِيسُ أَي ورُبَّ بَلْدةٍ.
(الثَّامن: الَّزائِدَةُ) ، كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {حَتَّى إِذا جاؤها وفُتِحَتْ أَبوابُها} ، جَوَّزَه الجَوْهرِي؛ وَقَالَ غيرُه: هِيَ واوُ الثمانِيَةِ، وَفِي الصِّحاح: قالَ الأصْمعي: قلْتُ لأبي عَمْرِو بنِ العَلاءِ: وقولُهم رَبّنا ولكَ الحَمْدُ، فقالَ: يقولُ الرَّجُلُ للرَّجُلِ بِعْني هَذَا الثَّوْبَ، فيقولُ: وَهُوَ لَكَ وأَظنُّه أَرادَ هُوَ لَك؛ وأَنْشَدَ الأخْفَش:
فَإِذا وذلِكَ يَا كُبَيْشةُ لمْ يَكُنْ
إلاَّ كَلَمَّةِ حالِمٍ بخَيالِكأنَّه قَالَ: فَإِذا ذلكَ لم يَكُنْ، وقالَ آخَرُ، وَهُوَ زُهيرٌ:
قِفْ بالدِّيارِ الَّتِي لم يَعْفُها القِدَمُ
بَلَى وغَيَّرَها الأَرْواحُ والدِّيَمُيُريدُ: بَلَى غَيَّرَها؛ كَذَا فِي الصِّحاح قَالَ ابنُ برِّي: وَقد ذَكَرَ بعضُ أَهْل العِلْم أنَّ الواوَ زائِدَةٌ فِي قَوْله تَعَالَى: {وأَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْهِ لتُنَبِّئَنَّهم بأَمْرِهم هَذَا} ، لأنَّه جوابُ لمَّا فِي قَوْله: {فلمَّا ذَهَبُوا بِهِ وأَجْمَعُوا أَنْ يَجْعَلُوه فِي غَيابَةِ الجُبِّ} . (التَّاسِعُ: واوُ الثَّمانِيَةِ: يقالُ ستَّةٌ سَبْعةٌ وثمانِيَةٌ، وَمِنْه) قَوْله تَعَالَى: {سَبْعةٌ وثامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ} ، وَقَوله تَعَالَى: {ثَيِّبات وأَبْكَاراً} ، وَقَوله تَعَالَى: {والنَّاهُونَ عَن المُنْكَر} قَالَ السَّهيلي فِي الرَّوْضِ: واوُ الثمانِيَةِ فِي قَوْله تَعَالَى: {سَبْعةٌ وثامِنُهُم كَلْبُهُم} تدلُّ على تَصْدِيقِ القائِلِينَ بأنَّهم سَبْعةٌ لأنَّها عاطِفَةٌ على كَلامٍ مُضْمَرٍ تَقْديرُه نَعَم وثامِنُهُم كَلْبُهُم، وذلكَ أنَّ قائِلاً لَو قالَ: إنَّ زَيْداً شاعِرٌ فقُلْت لَهُ: فَقِيهٌ، كُنْت قد صدَّقْته كأنَّك قُلْت: نَعَم هُوَ كَذلكَ وفَقِيهٌ أَيْضاً؛ وَكَذَا الحديثُ: (أَيتوضَّأُ بمَا أَفْضَلَتِ الحُمُر؟ قالَ. وَبِمَا أَفْضَلَتِ السِّباعُ) ؛ يريدُ نَعَم وبَما أَفْضَلَت السِّباعُ؛ خَرَّجَه الدَّارْقطْني؛ قالَ: وَقد أَبْطَل واوَ الثمانِيَةِ هَذِه ابنُ هِشامٍ وغيرُهُ مِن المُحقِّقين وَقَالُوا: لَا مَعْنى لَهُ وبَحثُوا فِي أَمْثِلتِه وَقَالُوا إنَّها مُتناقِضَةٌ.
(العاشِرُ: واوُ ضميرِ الذُّكُورِ نحوُ) قَوْلهم: (الرِّجالُ قامُوا) ويَقُومُونَ وقُومُوا أَيّها الرِّجال، وَهُوَ (اسْمٌ) عنْدَ الأكْثرينَ، وقالَ (الأخْفَشُ والمازِنيُّ) ؛ هُوَ (حَرْفٌ.
(الحادِي عَشَرَ: واوُ عَلامةِ المُذَكَّرِينَ فِي لُغَةِ طيِّىءٍ أَو أَزْدِشَنُوءَةَ أَو بَلْحَارِثِ) على اخْتِلافٍ فِي ذلكَ؛ (وَمِنْه) الحديثُ: ((يتعاقَبُونَ فيكُمْ ملائكةٌ باللَّيلِ وملائكةٌ بالنَّهارِ) .
(الثَّانِي عَشَرَ: واوُ الإنْكارِ نحوُ: الرَّجُلُوهُ بعدَ قَوْلِ القائِلِ: قامَ الرجلُ) ، فَقَوله: الرَّجُلُوهْ هُوَ قَوْلُ المُنْكِر يَمدُّه بالواوِ والهاءِ للوَقْفَة؛ وَمِنْه كَذلكَ: الحَسَنُوهْ وعَمْرُوه، وتُسَمَّى أَيْضاً واوُ الإسْتِنْكار.
(الثَّالثُ عَشَرَ: الواوُ المُبْدلَةُ مِن هَمْزةِ الاسْتِفْهامِ المَضْمومُ مَا قَبْلَها كقِراءَةِ قُنْبُلٍ: {وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ وأَمِنْتُمْ} ،) وكَذلكَ: {قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وآمَنْتُمْ} .
(الَّرابعُ عَشَرَ: واوُ التَّذْكِيرِ، كَذَا فِي النسخِ، والصَّوابُ التَّذكّر، فَفِي التّكْملةِ: وتكونُ للتَّعايي والتَّذَكّر كقولِكَ: هَذَا عَمْرُو فتَسْتَمِدُّ ثمَّ تقولُ مَنْطَلِقٌ؛ وكَذلكَ الألِفُ والياءُ قد تكونانِ للتَّذَكّر، انتَهَى.
(الخامسُ عَشَرَ: واوُ) الصِّلَةِ و (القَوافِي) ، كَقَوْلِه:
قِفْ بالدِّيار الَّتِي لم يَعْفُها القِدَمُو فوُصِلَتْ ضمَّةُ الْمِيم بواوٍ ثَمَّ بهَا وَزْنُ البَيْتِ.
(السَّادسُ عَشَرَ: واوُ الإشْباعِ كالبُرْقُوع) والمُعْلُوقِ، والعربُ تَصِلُ الضمَّةَ بالواوِ. وحَكَى الفرَّاءُ: أُنْظُور فِي مَوْضِعِ أَنْظُر؛ وأنْشَدَ:
مِن حَيْثُ مَا سَلَكُوا أَدْنُو فأَنْظُورُ وَقد ذُكِرَ فِي الرَاءِ، وأنْشَدَ أَيْضاً:
لَوْ أنَّ عَمْراً هُمَّ أَن يَرْقُودا
فانْهَضْ فشُدَّ المِئْزَرَ المَعْقُوداأَرادَ: أنْ يَرْقُد فأَشْبَعَ الضمَّةَ ووَصَلَها بالواوِ ونَصَبَ يَرْقُودَ على مَا يُنْصَبُ بِهِ الفِعْلُ.
(السَّابعُ عَشَرَ: مَدُّ الاسْمِ بالنِّداءِ) كَقَوْلِهِم: يَا قُورْطُ، يُريدُ قُرْطاً، فمدُّوا ضمَّة القافِ بالواوِ ليَمْتَدَّ الصَّوْتَ بالنِّداءِ.
(الثَّامنُ عَشَرَ: الواوُ المُحَوَّلَةُ) نَحْو: (طُوبَى أَصْلُها طُيْبَى) قُلِبَتِ الياءُ واواً لانْضِمام الطاءِ قَبْلَها وَهِي مِن طابَ يَطِيبُ، ومِن ذَلِك واوُ المُوسِرِينَ مِن أَيْسَرَ. ومِن أَقْسامِ الواوِ المُحوَّلةِ: واوُ الجَزْمِ المُرْسَلِ كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {ولَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرا} فأُسْقِطَتِ الواوُ لالْتِقاءِ السَّاكِنَينِ لأنَّ قَبْلَها ضمَّةً تَخْلُفها؛ وَمِنْهَا: واوُ الجَزْمِ المُنْبَسِطِ كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {لَتُبْلَوُنَّ فِي أَمْوالِكُم} فَلم تَسْقُطِ الواوُ وحَرَّكُوها لأنَّ قَبْلَها فتْحةً لَا تكونُ عِوَضاً عَنْهَا. قالَ الأزْهري: هَكَذَا رَواهُ المُنْذرِي عَن أَبي طالِبٍ النحوّي.
(التَّاسعُ عَشَرَ: واواتُ الأَبْنِيَةِ كالجَوْرَبِ والتَّوْرَبِ) للتُّرابِ والجَدْوَلِ والحَشْوَرِ وَمَا أَشْبَهَها.
(العِشْرونَ: واوُ الوَقْتِ: وتَقْرُبُ مِن واوِ الحالِ) كَقَوْلِك: (اعْمَلْ وأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ) ، أَي فِي وقْتِ صحَّتِكَ والآنَ وأَنْتَ فارِغٌ.
(الحادِي والعِشْرونَ: واوُ النِّسْبَةِ: كأَخَوِيَ فِي النِّسْبَةِ إِلَى أَخٍ) ، بفَتْح الهَمْزةِ والخاءِ وكَسْر الواوِ، وَهَكَذَا كانَ يَنْسبُه أَبو عَمْرِو بنُ العَلاءِ، وَكَانَ يَنْسبُ إِلَى الزِّنازِنَوِيٌّ، وَإِلَى أُخْتٍ أُخَوِيٌّ بضمِّ الهَمْزةِ، وَإِلَى ابنِ بَنَوِيٌّ، وَإِلَى عالِيَةِ الحجازِ عُلْوِيٌّ، وَإِلَى عَشِيَّة عَشَوِيٌّ، وَإِلَى أَبٍ أَبَوِيٌّ.
(الثَّاني والعِشْرونَ: واوُ عَمْرٍ و) : زِيدَتْ (لتَفْرِقَ بَيْنه وبينَ عُمَرَ) فِي الرَّفْعِ والخَفْضِ وَفِي النّصْبِ تَسْقُطُ تقولُ: رأَيْتُ عَمْراً لأنّه حَصَلَ الأمْنُ مِن الالْتِباسِ، وزِيدَتْ فِي عَمْرٍ ودُونَ عُمَر لأنَّ عُمَرَ أثْقَلُ مِن عَمْرٍ و.
(الثَّالثُ والعِشْرونَ: الواوُ الفارِقَةُ) : وَهِي كلُّ واوٍ دَخَلَتْ فِي أَحَدِ الحَرْفَيْن المُشْتَبَهَيْن تَفْرقُ بَيْنه وبينَ المُشْبَه لَهُ فِي الخَطِّ (كواوِ أُولئِكَ وأُولَى لئَلاَّ يَشْتَبِه بإِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى) ، كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {أُولئِكَ على هُدًى من رَبِّهم} ، وَقَوله تَعَالَى: {غَيْرُ أُولي الضَّرَرِ} زِيدَتْ فيهمَا الواوُ فِي الخَطِّ ليَفْرقَ بَيْنهما وبينَ مَا شَاكَلهما فِي الصُّورَةِ.
(الَّرابعُ والعِشْرونَ: واوُ الهَمْزةِ فِي الخَطِّ) واللّفْظِ، فأَمَّا الخَطّ (كهذهِ نِساؤُكَ وشاؤُكَ) صُوِّرَتِ الهَمْزةُ واواً لضمَّتها، (و) أَمَّا (فِي اللَّفْظِ: كحَمْراوانِ وسَوْداوانِ) وَمثل قَوْلك: أُعِيذُ بأَسْماواتِ اللهاِ وأَبْناواتِ سَعْدٍ، وَمثل السَّمواتِ وَمَا أَشْبَهها.
(الخامسُ والعِشْرونَ: والنِّداءِ والنُّدْبةِ) ، الأوَّل كوازَيْد، وَالثَّانِي كواغُرْبَتاهْ، وَقد تقدَّمَ. وَفِي التكملةِ: وَهِي غَيْرُ واوُ النُّدْبة. فتأَمَّل.
(السَّادسُ والعِشْرون: واوِ الحالِ) ، كَقَوْلِك: (أَتَيْتُه والشمسُ طالِعَةٌ) ، أَي فِي حالِ طُلوعِها، وَمِنْه قَوْله تَعَالَى: {إِذْ نادَى وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ} ، ومَثَّل الجَوْهرِي لواوِ الحالِ بقولِهم: قُمْتُ وأَصُكّ وَجْهَه، أَي قُمْتُ صاكًّا وَجْهَه، وكقولهم: قُمْتُ والناسُ قُعُودٌ.
(السَّابعُ والعِشْرونَ: واوُ الصَّرْفِ) : قَالَ الفرَّاء: (وَهُوَ أَنْ تأْتي الواوُ مَعْطوفَةً على كَلامٍ فِي أَوَّلهِ حادِثَةٌ لَا تَسْتَقيمُ إعادتُها على مَا عُطِفَ عَلَيْهَا كقولهِ) ، أَي الشاعرِ، وَهُوَ المُتَوكِّلُ اللَّيْثي:
(لَا تَنْهَ عَن خُلُقٍ وتأْتيَ مِثْلَهُ (عارٌ عَلَيْك إِذا فَعَلْتَ عَظِيمُ (فإنَّه لَا يجوزُ إعادَةُ: وتَأْتي مِثْلَه على تَنْهَ) ؛ هَكَذَا فِي النسخِ، ونَصّ الفرّاء أَلا تَرَى أَنَّه لَا يجوزُ إعادَةُ (لَا) على (وتَأْتي مِثْلَه) ، فلذلكَ (سُمِّيَ صَرْفاً إِذْ كَانَ مَعْطوفاً وَلم يَسْتَقِمْ أَن يُعادَ فِيهِ الحادِثُ الَّذِي فِيمَا قَبْلَهُ) .
وممَّا يُسْتدركُ عَلَيْهِ:
واوُ الإعْرابِ: كَمَا فِي الأسْماءِ السِّتَّةِ.
وبمعْنَى إِذْ نَحْو: لَقِيتُكَ وأَنْتَ شابٌّ، أَي إِذْ أَنتَ، وَعَلِيهِ حملَ قَوْله تَعَالَى: {وطائِفَة قد أَهَمَّتْهم} ، أَي إِذْ طائِفَة.
وللتَّفْصِيل: كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {ومِنْكَ ومِن نُوح} ، {ونَخْلٍ ورُمَّانٍ} .
وتَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا أَلِفُ الاسْتِفْهامِ: كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {أَو عَجِبْتُم أَنْ جاءَكُم ذِكْرٌ مِن رَبِّكم} ، كَمَا نقولُ أَفَعَجِبْتم؛ نقلَهُ الجَوْهرِي؛ وكذلكَ قولهُ تَعَالَى: {أَو لم يَنْظُرُوا} ، {أَوَ لم يَسِيرُوا} .
وللتِّكْرار: كَقَوْلِه تَعَالَى: {حافِظُوا على الصَّلواتِ والصَّلاةِ الوُسْطَى} .
وَمِنْهَا الواواتُ الَّتِي تدخُلُ فِي الأجْوبةِ فتكونُ جَواباً مَعَ الجَوابِ وَلَو حُذِفَتْ كانَ الجَوابُ مُكْتَفِياً بنَفْسِه؛ أنْشَدَ الفرَّاء:
حَتَّى إِذا قَلَتْ بُطُونَكُمُ
ورَأَيْتُمُ أَبْناءَكُم شَبُّواوقَلَبْتُمُ ظَهْرَ المِجَنِّ لَنا
إنَّ اللَّئِيمَ العاجِزُ الخَبُّأَرادَ: قَلَبْتُم. ومِثْلُه فِي الكَلامِ: لمَّا أَتانِي وأَثِبُ عَلَيْهِ، كأنَّه قَالَ: وَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَهَذَا لَا يجوزُ إلاَّ مَعَ لمَّا وَحَتَّى إِذا.
وَمِنْهَا الواوُ الدائِمَةُ: وَهِي كلُّ واوٍ تلابسُ الجزاءَ ومَعْناها الدَّوامُ كَقَوْلِك: زُرْني وأَزُورَكَ وأَزُورُكَ، بالنَّصْبِ والرَّفْع، فالنَّصْبُ على المُجازاةِ، ومَنْ رَفَعَ فمعْناهُ زِيارَتَكَ عليَّ واجبةٌ أُدِيمُها لكَ على كلِّ حالٍ.

الصَّبِىَّ [She satisfies the thirst of the young child]: because he sleeps in the beginning of the night, and they desire that her flow of milk may be early, before his sleeping. (M, TA.)

رِوَا, for one of these two may be from the other,] or ↓ رَوٌّ, (so accord. to my MS. copy of the K and accord. to the TK, [but this I think very dubious, and still more strange is the reading in the CK, which is رِو,]) Abundance of herbage, or of the goods, conveniences, or comforts, of life. (K.) رُوَآءٌ [for رُؤَآءٌ, (see رِئْىٌ, in art. رأى,) or of the measure فُعَالٌ from الرِّىُّ, (see Har p. 24,)] i. q. مَنْظَرٌ [as meaning A pleasing, or goodly, aspect; or beauty of aspect]: so in the phrase رَجُلٌ لَهُ رُوَآءٌ [A man having a pleasing, or goodly, aspect].

(M.) One says قَصِيدَتَانِ عَلَى

رَوِىٍّ وَاحِدٍ [Two odes constructed upon one rhymeletter; or having one fundamental rhyme-letter]. (S.) رِوَايَةٌ [an inf. n. of رَوَى, q. v., when used as a subst., meaning A relation, or recital, &c.,] has for its pl. رَوَايَا. (JM.) See رَاوِيَةٌ, last sentence but one.

(JM, TA.) You say, مَضَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ بِغَيْرِ رَوِيَّةٍ [He went at random, heedlessly, or in a headlong manner, without consideration]. (A in art. ركب.) See رَاوِيَةٌ, near the end.

One says of a woman, إِنَّهَا لَطَيِّبَةُ الرَّيَّا, meaning Verily she is sweet in the odour of her body: and hence the saying of Imrael-Keys, إِذَا قَامَتَا تَضَوَّعَ المِسْكُ مِنْهُمَا نَسِيمَ الصَّبَا جَآءَتْ بِرَيَّا القَرَنْفُلِ [When they stand, the fragrance of musk is diffused from them, like the breath of the east wind that has brought the sweet odour of the clove].

And you say وَجْهٌ رَيَّانُ (tropical:) [A plump face]; an expression of dispraise [app. when relating to a man, but not otherwise; for رَيَّانُ, or رَيَّا, applied to a youth, or to a woman, or a limb of a woman, meaning plump and juicy, is used by way of praise]: opposed to وَجْهٌ ظَمْآنُ. (A and TA in art. ظمأ.) And اِمْرَأَةٌ رَيَّا المُخَلْخَلِ (assumed tropical:) [A woman full, or plump, in the place of the anklet]. (JM.) And فَرَسٌ رَيَّانُ الظَّهْرِ (assumed tropical:) A horse fat in the portion of flesh and sinew next the back-bone on each side.

(S, TA.) A2: Also One who has the superintendence, management, or care, of horses (مَنْ يَقُومُ عَلَى الخَيْلِ [strangely rendered by Freytag, who seems to have read عَلَى الجَمَلِ, “constrictus fune et stans super cameli dorso ”]). (M, K.) رَاوِيَةٌ A camel, (A 'Obeyd, T, S, K,) or a mule, or an ass, (S, and so in the K with the exception of “ and ” for “ or,”) upon which water is drawn: (A 'Obeyd, T, S, K: [see سَانِيَةٌ:]) or a camel that carries water; (M, * Mgh, Msb;) and then applied to any beast upon which water is drawn: (Msb:) [but it is disputed whether this be the primary or proper signification, or whether it be secondary or tropical, as will be shown by what follows:] and also a man who draws water (A 'Obeyd, T, TA) for his family: (TA:) the ة is affixed [لِلنَّقْلِ, i. e. for the purpose of transferring the word from the category of epithets to that of substantives; or] to give intensiveness to the signification: (Msb:) pl. رَوَايَا [by rule رَوَآءٍ, being originally of the measure فَوَاعِلُ, not فَعَائِلُ]. (S, M, TA.) Also A مَزَادَة [or leathern water-bag] (A 'Obeyd, T, S, M, Mgh) composed of three skins, (Mgh,) containing water; (M, K;) so called as being the receptacle in which is the water borne by the camel [thus called]; (A 'Obeyd, T;) or the مزادة is thus termed by the vulgar, but this application of the word is allowable as metaphorical: (S:) or it signifies a pair of such water-bags (مَزَادَتَانِ [see مَزَادَةٌ in art. زيد]): (T:) [accord. to ISd,] it is applied to the مزادة, and then to the camel, because of the nearness of the latter to the former: (M:) or its primary application is to the camel: (S, Mgh:) accord. to some, its application to the camel is proper; and to the مزادة, tropical: accord. to others, the reverse is the case: (MF, TA:) the pl. is رَوَايَا, as above. (Mgh, TA.) b2: One says of a weak person who is in easy circumstances, مَا يَرُدُّ الرَّاوِيَةَ, meaning He is unable to turn back the راوية [or camel bearing a water-bag or pair of water-bags,] notwithstanding its being heavily burdened by the water that is upon it. (M.) b3: And the Prophet applied the appellation رَوَايَا البِلَادِ [The camels bearing water for the irrigation of the countries, or the water-bags borne by camels for the irrigation of the countries,] to (assumed tropical:) the clouds, by way of comparison. (TA.) b4: رَوَايَا is also applied as an appellation to (assumed tropical:) The chiefs of a people; (IAar, Th, T;) as pl. of رَاوِيَةٌ; the chief who bears the burden of the bloodwits owed by the tribe being likened to the camel thus termed. (T, M. *) A Temeemee, mentioning a party that had attacked his tribe, said, لَقِينَاهُمْ فَقَتَلْنَا الرَّوَايَا وَ أَبَحْنَا الزَّوَايَا meaning [We encountered them, and] we slew the chiefs, and gave permission to occupy, or to plunder, the houses, or tents. (T.) b5: رَوَايَا also occurs in a trad., in which it is said, شَرُّ الرَّوَايَا رَوَايَا الكَذِبِ, and accord. to some, it is, in this instance, pl. of رَاوِيَةٌ (JM, TA) in the first of the senses explained above; so that the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) The worst of those who carry tidings are those who carry false tidings; such persons being likened to the beasts so called, in respect of the fatigue that they undergo: (JM:) or it is pl. of ↓ رَوِيَّةٌ; (JM, TA;) and the meaning is, the worst of thoughts are those that are untrue, not right, nor tending to good: or it is pl. of ↓ رِوَايَةٌ; and the meaning is, the worst of relations, or recitals, are those that are untrue. (JM.) b6: See also رَاوٍ.

تعلل: قدم المعاذير أو الحجج. (البيضاوي 2: 48). وفي تاريخ البربر 2: 217): تعلل بالمعاذير، أي اعتذر بعدة حجج منعته من. وفي حياة ابن خلدون (ص206 ق): تعلل عليه بالاستزادة من العطاء أي أبدى كثيراً من الحجج والمعاذير ليزيد في عطائه. تعلل على فلان: بحث عن حجج ضده. (بيان 1: 170).
تعلل على: تذرع بحجج. (بيان 1: 184).
انعل: اعتل، أصيب بعلة، مرض. (فوك). اعتل: مرض، أصيب بعلة. ويستعمل هذا الفعل مجازاً في الكلام عن قنطرة أو بناية أصبحت في حالة سيئة تنذر بخرابها. (معجم البلاذري، كرتاس ص46).
اعتل: أخطأ، أذنب، (المقري 2: 520).
اعتل له ب: احتج له بحجة ودافع عنه. (معجم مسلم).
علّ ولعلّ: أن كان، إذا كان، وهي تدل على الشك. (معجم البلاذري، معجم الطرائف).
علة: عيب، شائبة. نقص. (المقدمة 2: 396 رقم 1، 405).
ازاح علتّه: يظهر أن معناه أزاح حجته ومعاذيره وليس أزاح مرضه، لأن كلمة علة في هذه العبارة تعني الحجة والعذر ولا تعني المرض (لين في مادة زيح، ويظهر إنه متردد في هذا المعنى) كما يؤيد هذا الفعل اعتذر في عبارة المقريزي (1: 334): وإذا أزاح الله العلل ما اعتذر غاز ولا شكا، أي: إذا أزال الله الأعذار والحجج (ورفع الموانع) فلا يمكن أن يعتذر محارب ولا أن يشكو. فكلمة علة تعني الحجة والعذر لئلا يسير إلى الغزاة، وهذه الحجة أو العذر سببها عدم توفر ما يحتاج إليه الغازي من أسباب.
وجملة أزاح عللهم تستعمل. خاصة بمعنى: جهز الجنزد وزودهم بما يحتاجون إليه حين يرفضون السير إلى الحرب بحجة نقص ما يحتاجون إليه في الحرب. ففي أساس البلاغة (مادة زيح): أزحت علته فيما احتاج إليه. وفي الفخري (ص63): فتقدم نور الدين إلى صلاح الدين بالتوجه صحبه عمه صحبة عمه أسد الدين شيركوه فاستعفاه صلاح الدين من التوجه وقال ليس لي استعداد فتقدم نور الدين بإزاحة علكه (علله) وجزم عليه في التوجه. وفي منتخبات من تاريخ العرب (ص550 وص558): مركاتبك إليه حتى تزيح علته فهذه العبارة تعني إذا في الغالب زوده بما يحتاج اليه، كما أشار إلى ذلك السيد جويارد في مجلة النقد لسنة 1874 (10 أكتوبر ص228).
وينقل (ص4): ما يجب على الرجال من حسن معاشرة النساء وصيانتهن وإزاحة عللهن (وقد أسيء ترجمتها إلى اللاتينية بما معناه: إزالة ما يعرض لهن من الأمراض). (المقدمة 1: 303، تاريخ البربر 1: 459، 502، 511، 524، 557) وكثيراً ما يتردد هذا في تاريخ البربر، ابن خلدون طبعة نور تبرج ص20 (وتعليقة الناشر في ص132 ليست صحيحة كل الصحة) (قصة عنتر ص46) ويقال أيضاً هذا للأشياء فيقال مثلاً: أزاح علل الثغور أي جهز الثغور بما تحتاج إليه.
علة. علل العلم أو الفن قواعده وقوانينه، كما يقول كوزجارتن، وهو مصيب، قي تعليقاته على الأغاني (ص217)، وانظر الأغاني (ص2).
وفي كتاب عبد الواحد (ص104): وكان مع سهولة الشعر عليه وإكثاره منه قليل المعرفة بعلله لم يجد الخوض في علومه (ص221 منه) وفي المقري (1: 603): علل الوثائق وهي القواعد التي نلتزم في كتابتها. وفيه (1: 507): برع في الحديث وعلله ورجاله، وعلل الحديث: القواعد التي نلتزم في دراسته. وكذلك في (1: 521، 534، 595 منه). وكثير من الكتب تحمل هذا العنوان، فيقال مثلاً: علل النحو، وعلل القراءات وغير ذلك. انظرها حاجي خليفة (4: 245 - 246) حيث أخطأ فلوجل بترجمتها دائماً إلى اللاتينية بما معناه عيوب وإن كان هذا من معانيها أيضاً.
العلة: عند الفلاسفة، الدافع والسبب الثاني، أما العلة الأولى فهي السبب (المقدمة 2: 365، 366).
علة الخلق أو علة العلل: سبب الخلق، أو الخالق المبدع أو خلق المبدع أو خلق الكون وإبداعه. أو بالأحرى سبب الأسباب. وهو عند الدروز الهمزة. (دي ساسي طرائف 2: 91، 261، 274).
عليل: عذب، لطيف، يقال: نسيم عليل إذا كان معتدل البرد لطيفاً. (هو جفلايت ص96، 98 رقم، 137).
عُلالة: قليل جداً، غير كافٍ (فوك).
علالة: هي في الأندلس نبات اسمه العلمي Polypodium Dryopteris وفي ابن البيطار (1: 420): وهو العلالة أيضاً عند بعض شجاربنا بالأندلس.
علاَّلة: قنينة، قارورة، زجاجة. (فوك، الكالا) وفي معجم الكالا ذكرت أولاً بلام واحدة من غير تشديد وجمعها بالألف والتاء، ثم ذكرت بلام مشددة وجمعها علائل.
مُعِّل. عند الدروز: معل علة العلل بمعنى السبب المؤثر في سبب الأسباب (يعني همزة) وهو الحاكم والإله الأسمى. (دي ساسي طرائف 2: 91،97، 263، 274).
مُعَّلل: يقال عن إسناد أو نص حديث فيه خطأ خفي سببه خطأ الراوي (دي سلان المقدمة 2: 483).
مِعلال: كثير العلل والأمراض (فوك).
معلول: معمول، مفعول. والجمع معلولات (بدرون ص20).

(Msb. See 4.) A6: [عُلَّ الشَّىْءُ is mentioned in the S, with the addition ↓ فَهُوَ مَعْلُولٌ, but without any explanation; perhaps as meaning The thing was caused; from عِلَّةٌ “ a cause,” of which مَعْلُولٌ (q. v.) is the correlative: but the context seems to indicate that it means the thing was used for the purpose of diverting from some want: Golius appears to have read عَلَّ, and to have been led by what next precedes it in the S to render it loco alterius rei fuit lactavitve res.]2 تَعْلِيلٌ signifies The giving to drink after giving to drink. (S.) See 4. [And see also 1, first sentence.] b2: And The plucking fruit one time after another.

(S, O, TA. *) One says, فُلَانٌ يُعَلِّلُ نَفْسَهُ بِتَعِلَّةٍ

[Such a one diverts, or occupies, himself, so as to render himself contented, with something diverting]. (S, O.) [See also مُعَلِّلٌ. And see 5.]

A2: Also The assigning a cause: and the asserting a cause. (KL.)

[The she-goat knows that I will not preserve her from the milking in the morning and the evening and the middle of the day nor from the cookingpot of my guests]: (O:) or, accord. to Az, عِلَالٌ signifies the milking after milking, before the udder requires it by the abundance of the milk. (TA.) [See also 6.]4 أَعْلَلْتُ الإِبِلَ I brought, or sent, back the camels from the water (S, O, K) after they had satisfied their thirst, (O,) or before they had satisfied their thirst: (S, K:) or, (S, O, K,) [if the latter is meant,] accord. to some of the etymologists, (S, O,) it is with غ; (S, O, K; [see 4 in art. غل;]) as though it were from the meaning of “ thirsting; ” but the former is what has been heard; (S, O;) and it means I gave the camels to drink the second draught, or watered them the second time, and then brought them, or sent them, back from the water, having their thirst satisfied; and thus, too, means الإِبِلَ ↓ عَلَّلَتُ; the contr. of أَغْلَلْنُهَا. (TA.) See also 1, first sentence. b2: And اعلّ القَوْمُ The people, or party, were, or became, persons whose camels had drunk the second time. (S, O, K. *) A2: اعلّهُ اللّٰهُ God caused him to be diseased, sick, or ill; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ عَلَّهُ, aor. ـُ (Msb.)

(S, O.) b2: And اعلّهُ signifies also He made him, or pronounced him, to have an excuse (جَعَلَهُ ذَا عِلَّةٍ): whence إِعْلَالَاتُ الفُقَهَآءِ [The excusings of the lawyers].

غَدَآء; (M voce سُلْفَةٌ, and K voce لُمْجَةٌ, &c.;) and as a beast does with the cud: (TA:) he occupied himself so as to divert himself, and fed [or sustained] himself, with it: (Har p. 23:) and he whiled away his time with it. (W p. 55.) and تعلّل بالْمَرْأَةِ He diverted himself with the woman. (K.) b2: And تعلّل signifies also He occupied himself vainly. (S and TA in art. جدب: see a verse cited voce جَادِبٌ.) b3: And He made an excuse. (KL.

(TA.) b2: And تَعَالَلْتُ النَّاقَةَ (assumed tropical:) I elicited from the she-camel what power she had [remaining] of going on.

(TA.) b4: See also 5, last sentence.8 اعتلّ: see 1, latter half. b2: [Hence, اعتلّت الرِّيحُ (assumed tropical:) The wind became faint, or feeble.]

A2: See also 5, first sentence. b2: Also He excused himself; or adduced, or urged, an excuse, or a plea; (MA, K, * TA; *) or he laid hold upon a plea, or an allegation. (El-Fárábee, Msb.) You say, اعتلّ عَلَيْهِ بِعِلَّةٍ (S, MA, O) He adduced, or urged, an excuse, or a plea, or pretext, for it. (MA.) And hence, اِعْتِلَالَاتُ الفُقَهَآءِ [The pleas, or allegations, of the lawyers, which they adduce, or upon which they lay hold]. (Msb.) A3: اعتلّهُ He hindered, prevented, impeded, or withheld, him; turned him back or away; retarded him; or diverted him by occupying him otherwise; from an affair.

A2: عَلْ عَلْ (K, TA, in the O written as one word,) A cry by which one chides sheep or goats (Yaakoob, O, K) and camels. (O.) عَلُ: see art. علو.

عَلَّ and لَعَلَّ (S, O, Mughnee, K) are dial. vars.; or the former is the original, the ل being augmentative, (S, O, Mughnee,) prefixed for the purpose of corroboration: the meaning is expectation of a thing hoped for or feared; (S, O;) importing hope, or eager desire, and fear, or caution: (S, O, K:) each is a particle, like إِنَّ and لَيْتَ and كَأَنَّ and لٰكِنَّ: (S, O:) and like عَسَى [q. v.] in meaning; but like إِنَّ in government; (Mughnee;) governing the subject in the accus. case, and the predicate in the nom.: one says, عَلَّكَ تَفْعَلُ [Maybe, or perhaps, thou wilt do such a thing], and عَلِّى أَفْعَلُ [May-be I shall do], and لَعَلِّى أَفْعَلُ; and sometimes they said, عَلَّنِى and لَعَلَّنِى; (S, O;) and one says also ↓ عَلْ and ↓ لَعَلْ, with the ل quiescent, and ↓ عَلْكَ and ↓ لَعَلْكَ: (O:) [and accord. to general usage, one says, لَعَلَّ زَيْدًا قَائِمٌ May-be Zeyd is standing:] and the tribe of 'Okeyl made each to govern the subject in the gen. case, (S, O, Mughnee,) saying, لَعَلَّ زَيْدٍ قَائِمٌ; (S, O;) and allowed the pronouncing عَلِّ and لَعَلِّ: (Mughnee:) sometimes its subject is suppressed, as in عَلَّ أَنْ أَتَقَدَّمَ, meaning لَعَلَّنِى أَنْ

أَتَقَدَّمَ [May-be I shall precede]: (Ham p. 517:) the Koofees allow the mansoob aor. [immediately] after, on the authority of the reading of Hafs, [in the Kur xl. 38,] لَعَلِّى أَبْلُغَ الأَسْبَابَ [May-be I may reach the places of ascent, or the regions, or tracts, of the heavens]. (Mughnee.) Other dial. vars. of عَلّ are mentioned in art. لعل [q. v.]. (K.) عَلٌّ: see عَلَلٌ, in two places.

A2: Also [in the CK erroneously with damm to the ع in all the senses here following that are expl. in the K] An emaciated tick: (S, O:) or a big-bodied tick: or a small-bodied one: (K, TA:) pl. عِلَالٌ. (TA.) b2: And A man advanced in age, (S, O, K,) small in body, (S, O,) or slender, or spare; (K;) as being likened to the tick. (S, O.) And anything slender (دَقِيق, for رَقِيق in the K is a mistranscription, TA) in body, advanced in age. (M, K, * TA.) And A man whose skin is contracted by disease. (IDrd, O, K.) b3: Also One in whom is no good: Esh-Shenfarà says, وَلَسْتُ بِعَلٍّ [And I am not one in whom is no good: but the context seems rather to require one of the other meanings mentioned above: and another reading (بِفِلٍّ) is mentioned by De Sacy, in his Chrest. Ar., 2nd ed., ii. 359]. (O, TA.) b4: Also A man who visits women much, or often, (K, TA,) and diverts himself with them. (TA.) b5: And A big-bodied, large he-goat. (K.) عُلٌّ and عِلٌّ: see عُلْعُلٌ.

عَلَّةٌ A [single] second draught. (Mgh.) b2: and hence, (Mgh,) A woman's fellow-wife; her husband's wife: (Mgh, Msb, * K:) or, as some say, a step-mother: but the former is the more correct meaning: (Mgh:) pl. عَلَّاتٌ. (Msb.) Whence, بَنُو العَلَّاتِ The sons of one father by different mothers: as though, when he added by marriage a second wife to the first, he took a second draught. (S, * Mgh, O, * Msb, * K. *) أَوْلَادُ الأَخْيَافِ means the contr. of this: and أَوْلَادُ الأَعْيَانِ, the sons of the same father and mother. (Msb.) Accord. to IB, one says, هُمَا أَخَوَانِ مِنْ ضَرَّتَيْنِ [They two are brothers from two fellow-wives]; but they did not say, مِنْ ضَرَّةٍ: and accord. to ISh, one says, هُمْ بَنُو عَلَّةٍ and أَوْلَادُ عَلَّةٍ. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., الأَنْبِيَآءُ بَنُو عَلَّاتِ, (Mgh,) or أَوْلَادُ عَلَّاتٍ, (TA,) meaning The prophets are of different mothers, but of one religion: (T, Mgh, TA:) or of one faith, but of different religious laws or ordinances. (Nh, TA.) A2: See also عُلَالَةٌ.

عِلَّةٌ An accident that befalls an object and causes its state, or condition, to become altered. (TA.) b2: And hence, (TA,) A disease, sickness, or malady; (S, O, K, TA;) because, by its befalling, the state becomes altered from strength to weakness; so says El-Munáwee in the “ Tow-keef: ” (TA:) or a disease that diverts [from the ordinary occupations; app. regarded as being from what next follows]: pl. عِلَلٌ (Msb) [and عِلَّاتٌ]. b3: Also An accident, or event, that diverts the person to whom it occurs from his course, (S, O, K,) or from the object of his want: (M:) as though it became a second occupation hindering him from his former occupation. (S, O.) b4: and [hence,] an excuse; an apology; a plea whereby one excuses himself. (TA.) Hence, (K, * TA,) لَاتَعْدَمُ خَرْقَآءُ عِلَّةً [expl. in art. خرق]. (K, TA.) [See also another ex. in art. سأل, conj. 3.] b5: And A cause: [and particularly an efficient cause:] (M, K:) one says, هٰذَا عِلَّةٌ لِهٰذَا This is a cause of this: (M:) and هٰذِهِ عِلَّتُهُ This is its cause: (K:) [and ↓ عِلَّةٌ وَمَعْلُولٌ Cause and effect; a phrase of frequent occurrence in theological and other works:] and [sometimes عِلَّةٌ signifies a pretext, or pretence:] it is said in a trad. of 'Áïsheh, فَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمٰنِ يَضْرِبُ رِجْلِى

بِعِلَّةِ الرَّاحِلَةِ, meaning And 'Abd-Er-Rahmán was beating my leg with the pretence, or pretext, of his beating the side of the camel with his leg. (TA.) b6: The phrase عَلَى عِلَّاتِهِ means In every case. (S, O, K.) Zubeyr says, إِنَّ البَخِيلَ مَلُومٌ حَيْثُ كَانَ وَاٰ كِنَّ الجَوَادَ عَلَى عِلَّاتِهِ هَرِمُ [Verily the niggard is blamed wherever he be; but the liberal in all his circumstances is Herim]: (S, O:) meaning his companion Herim Ibn-Sinán El-Murree. (S in art. هرم.) عَلَلٌ and ↓ عَلٌّ [both mentioned in the first paragraph as inf. ns.] The second draught: or a drinking after drinking, uninterruptedly: (K:) or the former signifies a second drinking; one says عَلَلٌ بَعْدَ نَهَلٍ [a second drinking after a first drinking]: (S, O:) or a drinking after drinking: (Msb:) and the second watering of camels; the first being termed the نَهَل: (As, TA:) these two terms are also similarly used in relation to suckling: and one of the unknown poets says, ثُمَّ انْثَنَى مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَا فَصَلَّى

↓ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ نَهَلًا وَعَلَّا [Then he turned, or turned away or back, after that, and blessed the Prophet a first time and a second time]. (TA.) b2: Also, the former, Food that has been eaten. (Kr, TA.) [See also نَهَلٌ.]

عُلُلٌ: see عُلْعُلٌ.

عِلَالٌ: see 3; of which it is said in the K to be the subst., though app. the inf. n. عَلُولٌ Some light food with which the sick person is diverted or occupied [so as to be rendered contented]: pl. عُلُلٌ. (TA.) عَلِيلٌ Diseased, sick, or ill; (S, Msb;) and so with ة applied to a woman: (Mgh:) or, the former, rendered diseased &c. by God; [being used as the pass. part. n. of أَعَلَّهُ in the phrase اعلّهُ اللّٰهُ;] (K;) as also ↓ مُعَلٌّ, (Msb, K,) agreeably with rule, but this is seldom used; (Msb;) and ↓ مَعْلُولٌ, from عَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ; (Msb;) or this last should not be said, for, though the theologians say it, it is not of established authority. (K, * TA.) A2: عَلِيلَةٌ also signifies A woman perfumed repeatedly: (AA, O, K, TA:) and accord. to AA, ↓ مُعَلَّلٌ, as used in a verse of Imra-el-Keys, signifies perfumed time after time. (O.) [See also مُعَلِّلٌ.]

عُلَالَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ تَعِلَّةٌ (S, * K) and ↓ عَلَّةٌ, (K, TA,) with fet-h, (TA, [in the CK العِلَّةُ is put for العَلَّةُ,]) A thing with which a person, (S, K,) or a child, (TA,) is diverted, or occupied so as to be diverted, and contented, or satisfied, (S, K, TA,) such as talk, and singing, and food, &c., (Har p. 308,) [or such as a small quantity of food by which the craving of his stomach is allayed,] in order that he may be quiet. (TA.) It is said in a trad., accord. to different relations thereof, that dates are the ↓ تَعِلَّة of the child or of the guest. (TA.) b2: Also, the first, accord. to the copies of the K, What is drawn from the udder after the first فِيقَة: but accord. to IAar, what is drawn from the udder before the first فِيقَة [or milk that collects in the udder between two milkings], and before the second فيقة collects: also termed عُرَاكَةٌ and دُلَاكَةٌ: (TA:) [or] the milking that is between two milkings: (S, O:) [or] it signifies also the middle milking of the camel that is milked in the first part and the middle and the last part of the day: (K:) or, as some say, the milk that she excerns [into her udder] after the milking of the copious flow thereof.

(Mgh.) b6: عدّلهُ signifies also He attributed to him (i. e. a witness, Msb) what is termed عَدَالَة [inf. n. of عَدُلَ]; (O, Msb;) described him as possessing that quality; (Msb;) pronounced him to be veracious, and good, or righteous; (K;) pronounced him to be such as is termed عَدْل [q. v.]: (TA:) تَعْدِيلُ الشُّهُودِ is the pronouncing the witnesses to be عُدُول [pl. of عَدْلٌ]. (S.) b7: عدّل أَمْرَهُ: and عَدَّلْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا: see 3. b8: شَرِبَ حَتَّى عَدَّلَ He drank until he became full: (Aboo-'Adnán, O, TA:) or until his belly became like the [load called] عِدْل. (K.) 3 عَاْدَلَ see 1, in four places. One says, يُعَادِلُ فِى

الوَزْنِ [It is equal in weight; is equiponderant]. (IF, Msb.) And يُعَادِلُكَ فِى الوَزْنِ وَالقَدْرِ [He is equal to thee in weight and in size: as one who rides with thee in a مَحْمِل]. (S.) يُعَادِلُهُ فِى

القِيمَةِ وَالمَنْفَعَةِ [It is equal to it in value and utility]. (Msb.) b2: And عَادَلَهُمَا عَلَى نَاضِحٍ He bound them two upon the two sides of a camel [or of a camel used for carrying water for irrigation, so that they counterbalanced each other] like the [two loads called] عِدْلَانِ. (TA.) b3: And فُلَانٌ يُعَادِلُ أَمْرَهُ, and يُقَسِّمُهُ, (O, and so accord. to a copy of the S,) or عَدَالٌ, (so in another copy of the S,) inf. n. يُعَادِلُ هٰذَا الأَمْرَ, Such a one wavers, or vacillates, [in his case] between two affairs, hesitating which of them he shall do. (S, O.) And عادل أَمْرَهُ تَعْدِيلٌ He is in a state of entanglement in this affair, and does not execute it: (K:) he is in doubt respecting it. (TA.) And عادل أَمْرَهُ He paused [in his case], hesitating between two affairs, which he should do; as also ↓ عدّلهُ inf. n. تَعْدِيلٌ: and hence, in the trad. of the مِعْرَاج [or ladder by which Mohammad is related to have ascended from Jerusalem to Heaven], ↓ فَعَدَّلْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا [And I paused in hesitation between them two]; meaning that they were equal in his estimation, and he could not make choice of either of them. (TA.) And عَادَلْتُ بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ أَيَّهُمَا

آتِى I wavered, or vacillated, between two affairs, hesitating which of them I should do. (TA.) المُعَادَلَةُ is The doubting respecting two affairs: and one says, أَنَا فِى عِدَالٍ مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ I am in doubt respecting this affair, whether I should do it or leave it undone: (TA:) or العِدَالُ is the considering deliberately respecting the case of two affairs that have occurred to one, when one knows not to which of them he should betake himself. (IAar, K.) And The case of one person's saying

“ There is in it something remaining ” and another's saying “ There is not in it anything remaining. ” (S, O.) And one says, when he wavers, or vacillates, between two affairs, hesitating which of them he shall do, and then a right opinion occurs to him, and he determines upon that which is the more fit in his estimation, قَطَعْتُ العِدَالَ فِى أَمْرِى وَمَضَيْتُ عَلَى عَزْمِى [I cut short wavering in my affair, and executed my determination]. (TA.) b4: And عادل signifies also It became crooked, or bent. (K.) 5 تعدّل It became, or was rendered, straight, or even; syn. تَقَوَّمَ. (Msb in art. قوم.) b2: and تَعَدَّلَتْ قِيمَةُ المَتَاعِ بِكَذَا The value of the commodity was equal to such a thing; syn. قَامَ المَتَاعُ بِكَذَا. (Msb in art. قوم.) 6 تَعَادُلٌ The being, or becoming, equal. (Msb.) You say, تَعَادَلَا [They two became equal]. (M and K voce تَبَاوَآ, q. v., in art. بوأ.) b2: [Also The being, or becoming, intermediate in quality.]7 إِنْعَدَلَ see 1, former half, in two places.8 اعتدل It was, or became, right, or in a right condition; direct, or rightly directed; straight, or even; (S, O, Msb, TA;) equal; (as a pair of scales, or a weight, and a measure, &c.; TA;) equable, or uniform; (Msb, TA;) [symmetrical, proportionate,] suitable in itself [or in its parts]. (K.) The saying, cited by Sh, وَاعْتَدَلَتْ ذَاتُ السَّنَامِ الأَمْيَلِ means And she that had an inclining hump became straight [and erect] in her hump by reason of fatness. (TA.) And one says جَارِيَةٌ حَسَنَةُ الاِعْتِدَالِ A girl, or young woman, goodly in respect of stature [or proportion]. (A, TA.) And اعتدل الشِّعْرُ The poetry, or verse, was, or became, measured, and right in its feet. (TA.) b2: Also It was, or became, of a middling sort, in quantity, or quality; (K, TA;) as a body between tallness and shortness, and water between the hot and the cold; and [moderate, or temperate,] as a day of which the air is pleasant. (TA.) عَدْلٌ Equity, justice, or rectitude; contr. of جَوْرٌ; (S, O, Msb, K, TA;) i. e. i. q. قَصْدٌ, in affairs; (Msb;) and قِسْطٌ; (S, M, Mgh, &c., in art. قسط;) and سَوِيَّةٌ; (O, K;) and اِسْتِقَامَةٌ; (IAar, K;) and a thing that is established in the minds as being right; (K, TA;) as also ↓ مَعْدِلَةٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ مَعْدَلَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ عَدَالَةٌ and ↓ عُدُولَةٌ: (K:) or, as some say, it is the mean between excess and falling short: and Er-Rághib says, it is of two sorts: one is absolute, such that reason requires the inference of its goodness; and this will not at any time be abrogated, nor described as a mode of transgression; as the doing good to him who does good to thee, and the abstaining from harming him who abstains from harming thee: and the other is such as is known to be عَدْل by the law; and this may be abrogated sometimes; as retaliation, and fines for wounds and maimings, and the taking the property of the apostate; and this is what is meant by the saying in the Kur [xvi. 92], إِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ i. e. [Verily God commandeth] equality in recompensing, if good, with good, and if evil, with evil, and the requiting of good with more good, and of evil with less evil: [see also 4 in art. حسن:] and he says of ↓ عَدَالَةٌ and ↓ مَعْدِلَةٌ, that each is a term requiring the inference of equality, and is used with a regard to correlation. (TA.) One says, بَسَطَ الوَالِى عَدْلَهُ and ↓ مَعْدِلَتَهُ (S, O) and ↓ مَعْدَلَتَهُ (S) [The governor, or ruler, largely extended his equity, or justice]. And ↓ فُلَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ المَعْدَلَةِ, (S,) or ↓ المَعْدِلَةِ, (O,) i. e. من اهل العَدْلِ [Such a one is of the people of equity, &c.]. (S, O.) وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَىْ عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ, in the Kur [lxv. 2], is said by Sa'eed Ibn-El-Museiyib to mean ذَوَىْ عَقْلٍ [i. e. And make ye to be witnesses two persons of intelligence from among you: but this rendering I think questionable]. (TA.) b2: Also Repayment, requital, compensation, or recompense. (K.) b3: And Ransom, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) when regard is had therein to the meaning of equality, or equivalence. (TA.) This is [said to be] the meaning in the phrase of the Kur [v. 96], أَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيَامًا [Or the ransom thereof by fasting: but this is generally expl. as meaning or the like thereof of fasting; (see عِدْلٌ;) i. e., in lieu of feeding a number of poor men, one shall fast the like number of days]. (S, O.) And so [accord. to some] in the saying, occurring in a trad., لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ [of which see various explanations (including three renderings here following) in art. صرف]. (O, Msb.) b4: And Measure; syn. كَيْلٌ. (K.) So in the phrase أَعْطَاهُ بِالعَدْلِ [He gave him by measure]. (TK.) b5: And An obligatory act or divine ordinance. (En-Nadr, O, K.) b6: And A supererogatory act. (O, K.) A2: Also One who acts equitably, justly, or rightly; and so ↓ عَادِلٌ: (K, TA:) or the latter signifies thus: (S, O:) and the former [particularly] signifies a man approved and satisfactory in testimony; originally an inf. n.; (S, O, TA;) whose testimony is approved and available; (Msb;) a man whose testimony is allowable, or legally admissible, as also ↓ عَادِلٌ; a man whose saying, and whose judgment, or judicial decision, are approved; and, accord. to Ibráheem, one from whom a thing occasioning doubt, or suspicion, or evil opinion, has not appeared: being originally an inf. n., it means ذُو عَدْلٍ: or, accord. to IJ, it is an intensive epithet, as though meaning possessing every kind of عَدْل: (TA:) one says رَجُلٌ عَدْلٌ, (S, O, Msb, * K,) and اِمْرَأَةٌ عَدْلٌ and عَدْلَةٌ, (Msb, K,) the latter mentioned by IJ, (TA,) and رَجُلَانِ عَدْلٌ and عَدْلَانِ, (Msb, * TA,) and قَوْمٌ عَدْلٌ (S, O, Msb, * K) and نِسْوَةٌ عَدْلٌ (TA) and قَوْمٌ عُدُولٌ, (S, O, Msb, * K,) عُدُولٌ being pl. of عَدْلٌ, (S, O, Msb,) or of عَادِلٌ, (K,) and عَدْلٌ used in a pl. sense being a quasi-pl. n. of عَادِلٌ, (M, K,) like تَجْرٌ [of تَاجِرٌ] and شَرْبٌ [of شَارِبٌ]; (M, TA;) or رِجَالٌ عَدْلٌ and نِسْوَةٌ عَدْلٌ mean رِجَالٌ ذَوُو عَدْلٍ and نِسْوَانٌ ذَوَاتُ عَدْلٍ. (TA.) b2: العَدْلُ as one of the names of God means He whom desire does not cause to incline, or decline, so that he should deviate from the right course in judgment. (TA.) b3: And one says, هٰذَا عَدْلٌ بَيْنَهُمَا, meaning This is intermediate in quality between them two, not in the utmost degree of goodness nor in the extreme degree of badness. (Mgh.) And مَكَانٌ عَدْلٌ بَيْنَ فَرِيقَيْنِ [A place equidistant, or midway, between two parties]. (S in art. سوى.) b4: See also عِدْلٌ, throughout the greater part of the paragraph.

A3: عَدْلٌ is also the name of a certain chief of the [body of armed men called] شُرَط, (S, O,) or شُرْطَة, (K,) of a تُبَّع [or King of El-Yemen], who, when he desired the slaughter of a man, delivered him to this person; (S, O, K;) whereupon the people said, وُضِعَ عَلَى

يَدَىْ عَدْلٍ [He has been consigned to the hands of 'Adl]; (S, O;) and this was afterwards said of anything of which one despaired. (S, O, K.) [Meyd mentions عَلَى يَدَىْ عَدْلٍ, as a prov., without وُضِعَ: see Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 80.]

عِدْلٌ The like (IAar, Zj, O, K) of a thing; (IAar, O;) as also ↓ عَدْلٌ; syn. مِثْلٌ; (IAar, Zj, O, K;) and نَظِيرٌ [which signifies the same, or the equal]; and so ↓ عَدِيلٌ: (K:) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, ↓ عَدْلٌ and عِدْلٌ are nearly the same; but the former is used in relation to what is perceived mentally, as in the phrase of the Kur [v. 96], أَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيَامًا [mentioned voce عَدْلٌ]; and عِدْلٌ and ↓ عَدِيلٌ, in relation to what is perceived by the sense, as things weighed and things numbered and things measured: Ibn-'Ámir, however, read او عِدْلُ ذلك; and Ks and the people of El-Medeeneh, with fet-h [i. e. عَدْلُ]: (TA:) or عِدْلُ الشَّىْءِ, with kesr, signifies the like of the thing in kind, (Mgh, Msb,) or in quantity, or measure, or the like, (Msb,) or also in quantity, or measure, or the like, (Mgh,) and IF says, in weight; (Msb;) and ↓ عَدْلُهُ, with fet-h, (Mgh, Msb,) its like, (Mgh,) or what will stand in its stead, (Msb,) of a thing different in kind, (Mgh, Msb;) whence the phrase of the Kur أَوْ عَدْلُ ذٰلِكَ صِيَامًا [mentioned above]; عَدْل being originally an inf. n.: (Msb:) Akh says, العِدْلُ, with kesr, signifies المِثْلُ; and ↓ العَدْلُ, with fet-h, is originally an inf. n., but is made a subst. to denote المِثْلُ in order to distinguish it from the عِدْل of goods or commodities [which will be expl. in what follows]: Fr says, العِدْلُ, with kesr, is the like (المِثْلُ), as in the saying عِنْدِى عِدْلُ غُلَامِكَ [I have the like of thy boy or young man] and عِدْلُ شَاتِكَ [the like of thy sheep or goat]; but you say ↓ العَدْلُ, with nasb [i. e. fet-h] to the ع, when you mean the [equal in] value, of what is different in kind; though sometimes it is pronounced with kesr by some of the Arabs, app. by an error on their part: (S, O:) or some allow one's saying عِنْدِى عِدْلُ غُلَامِكَ as meaning I have the like of thy boy or young man, [and app. ↓ عَدْلُهُ also,] and عَدْلُهُ with fet-h only as meaning his value: (TA:) but Zj says that العَدْلُ and العِدْلُ both signify the like, whether it be of the same kind or of a different kind; and if one make a mistake, he should not say that some of the Arabs have erred: (O:) the pl. (S, O, K) of عِدْلٌ, by common consent, (S, O,) is أَعْدَالٌ, (S, O, K,) and [that of ↓ عَدِيلٌ is] عُدَلَآءُ. (K.) b2: Also The half of a load, (K, TA,) such as is on either of the two sides of the camel; (TA;) or a burden [borne on one side of a beast, counterbalancing another on the other side, or] made equiponderant to another burden: (Az, TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَعْدَالٌ and [of mult.] عُدُولٌ: (Sb, K:) and ↓ عَدِيلٌ signifies the equal of a person in weight and measure or size or the like (S, K, * TA) in the [vehicle called] مَحْمِل: (TA:) Sb says that it signifies a human being that is the equal of another [in weight]; distinguishing it from عِدْلٌ, which, he says, is applied only to goods, or commodities: (IB, TA:) [but] ↓ عَدِيلَتَانِ signifies two sacks (غِرَارَتَانِ); because each counter balances, or is equiponderant to, the other. (TA.) Hence one says of the عُدُول of an evil judicial decision, مَا هُمْ عُدُولٌ وَلٰكِنْ عُدُولٌ [meaning They are not witnesses whose testimony is approvable, but equalized loads of merchandise]. (TA.) And [hence also] one says, وَقَعَ المُصْطَرِعَانِ عِدْلَىْ بَعِيرٍ, meaning The two [men wrestling] fell together, neither of them having thrown down the other. (TA. [See also عِكْمٌ.]) عَدَلٌ The equalizing of the [two burdens, or half-loads, called] عِدْلَانِ. (IAar, O, K.) عَدَلَةٌ: see what next follows, in two places.

عُدَلَةٌ Men who pronounce witnesses to be veracious, and good, or righteous; (Az, IAar, O, K, * TA;) as also ↓ عَدَلَةٌ; (K;) and the former is also applied to a man who does so: (Az, O, TA: *) or the former is applied to a single per-son, and ↓ عَدَلَةٌ is applied to a pl. number. (AA, K, TA.) عَدِيلٌ: see عِدْلٌ, in four places.

عَدَالَةٌ: see عَدْلٌ, in two places. It is an inf. n. of عَدُلَ (S, O, Msb) said of a witness; like ↓ عُدُولَةٌ: and signifies The quality of a witness such as is termed عَدْلٌ [q. v.]: it is expl. as being a quality the regard of which necessitates the guarding against what falls short of the requirements of manly virtue or moral goodness, habitually and evidently; which evident falling short thereof is not effected by small instances of lapses or falls into wrongdoing, and by perversion of speech, because mistake and forgetfulness are supposable [as the causes thereof], and interpretation not according to the obvious meaning; but it is when such is the known and repeated practice of the person: regard is to be had to the goodness, or honesty, of every individual, and his usual practice in respect of his apparel, and his dealing in selling and buying, and the conveyance of goods, and other things; and when he does that which is not suitable to him, without necessity, his testimony is impugned; otherwise it is not. (Msb.) عُدُولَةٌ: see عَدْلٌ, first sentence: and عَدَالَةٌ.

عَدِيلَتَانِ: see عِدْلٌ, last quarter.

عَدَوْلَى An old, tall tree: (K:) or ↓ شَجَرٌ عَدَوْلِىٌّ signifies old trees; one of which is termed عَدَوْلِيَّةٌ: or, accord. to AHn, ↓ عَدَوْلِىٌّ signifies anything old. (TA.) A2: See also the next following paragraph.

عَدَوْلِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

A2: Also, thus correctly, as in the S, (TA, [and thus, app., accord. to the K, though this is thought by SM, and not altogether without reason, to require by its context the reading of ↓ عَدَوْلَى, as does, app., the O,]) A seaman, or mariner. (S, O, K, TA.) b2: And pl. [app. a mistake for n. un.] of عَدَوْلِيَّةٌ, (K,) which latter means Certain ships or boats, (O, K, TA,) or a [sort of] ship or boat, (S,) or it is an epithet applied to certain ships or boats, (EM p. 58,) so called as being of عَدَوْلَى, (S, O, * K, TA,) meaning a city of El-Bahreyn, (S, O, * TA,) not meaning, as would be imagined from the context in the K, the tree [said to be] thus called; (TA;) mentioned in the poetry of Tarafeh, (S, O, TA,) in the fourth verse of his Mo'allakah, (O, TA,) and thus expl. by As: (TA:) or meaning old; or large: (O, TA:) or so called as being of a place named عَدَوْلَاة, of the measure فَعَوْلَاة: (TA:) or of عَدَوْل, a man who used to construct ships or boats: or of a people who used to alight and abide in Hejer. (O, K.) عَادِلٌ: see عَدْلٌ, latter half, in two places. b2: Also An attributer of a copartner, or of copartners, to God. (S, TA.) A woman is related to have said to El-Hajjáj, يَا قَاسِطُ يَا عَادِلُ; [by which she meant O deviater from the right course; O attributer of a copartner, or of copartners, to God;] (S, * O;) whereupon, the people thinking that she was commending him, he said that by her saying يا قاسط, she referred to the words of the Kur [lxxii. 15] أَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا [expl. voce قَاسِطٌ; and by her saying يا عادل, to the words in the same [vi. 151] وَهُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ [expl. above, see 1]. (O.) مَعْدِلٌ A place of turning away or back; as also ↓ مَعْدُولٌ: so in the saying, مَا لَهُ مَعْدِلٌ and ↓ مَعْدُولٌ [There is for him no place of turning away or back]: (K:) pl. مَعَادِلُ: Aboo-Khirásh says, تَضِيقُ عَلَىَّ الأَرْضُ ذَاتُ المَعَادِلِ meaning [The earth having those ways in which one may turn in various directions becomes strait to me; or] having such amplitude that by reason thereof one may turn in it to the right and left. (TA.) b2: And A way, course, mode, or manner, of acting or conduct or the like: thus in the saying أَخَذَ فِى مَعْدِلِ الحَقِّ [He took to the right way of acting], and مَعْدِلِ البَاطِلِ [the false, or wrong, way of acting]: and in like manner one says, اُنْظُرُوا إِلَى سُوْءِ مَعَادِلِهِ Look ye at his evil ways of acting: and هُوَ سَدِيدُ المَعَادِلِ [He is one who takes a right direction in respect of the ways of acting]. (TA.) مَعْدَلَةٌ: see عَدْلٌ, former half, in seven places.

مُعَدَّلٌ Anything straightened, or made even: (S, O, K:) [&c.: see its verb.] b2: الكُرُّ المُعَدَّلُ see in art. كر.

مُعَدَّلَاتٌ The angles, or corners, of a house or chamber. (IAar, O, K.) مَعْدُولٌ: see مَعْدِلٌ, in two places.

مُعْتَدِل [Right, or having a right direction; straight, or even; equal; equable, or uniform; symmetrical, proportionate; suitable in itself or in its parts: see its verb]. مُعْتَدِلَةٌ applied to a she-camel means Whose limbs, or members, are rendered even, one with another, (Lth, Az, TA,) including her hump and other parts; as is the case when she becomes fat: erroneously said by Sh, on the authority of Mohárib, to be مُعَنْدَلَة, belonging to art. عندل. (Az, TA.) b2: And Of a middling sort, in quantity, or quality; as a body between tallness and shortness, and water between the hot and the cold; and [moderate, or temperate,] as a day of which the air is pleasant; contr. of مُعْتَذِلٌ, with the pointed ذ. (TA.) فَرَسٌ مُعْتَدِلُ الفرقِ [app. الفَرْقِ] means A horse whose غُرَّة [or blaze] occupies the middle of his forehead, not reaching to one of the eyes nor inclining upon one of the cheeks. (AO, TA.) أَيَّامٌ مُعْتَدِلَاتٌ signifies [Days moderate in temperature; or] pleasant, not hot, days. (TA.) and المُعْتَدِلَاتُ is applied to Forty nights of varying, or alternating, heat and cold, commencing from the [auroral] rising of Suheyl [or Canopus, which, in Central Arabia, at the commencement of the era of the Flight, was about the 4th of August, O. S.]: (Az, TA in art. صفر: see صَفَرِىٌّ:) or the days of heat known by the appel-lation of وَقَدَاتُ سُهَيْلٍ [the most vehement heats of Canopus]; as also المُعْتَذِلَاتُ [q. v.]. (El-Hareeree's Durrat-el-Ghowwás, in De Sacy's Anthol. Gramm. Arabe, p. 37 of the Arabic text.)

علم التاريخ
التاريخ في اللغة: تعريف الوقت مطلقا يقال أرخت الكتاب تأريخا وورخته توريخا كما في: الصحاح قيل: وهو معرب من ماه وروز. وعرفاً: هو تعيين وقت لينسب إليه زمان يأتي عليه أو مطلقا: يعني سواء كان ماضيا أو مستقبلاً.
وقيل: تعريف الوقت بإسناده إلى أول حدوث أمر شائع من ظهور ملة أو دولة أو أمر هائل من الآثار العلوية والحوادث السفلية مما يندر وقوعه جعل ذلك مبدأ لمعرفة ما بينه وبين أوقات الحوادث والأمور التي يجب ضبط أوقاتها في مستأنف السنين.
وقيل: عدد الأيام والليالي بالنظر إلى ما مضى من السنة والشهر وإلى ما بقي وفيه كتاب: لقطة العجلان مما تمس إليه حاجة الإنسان للمؤلف عفا الله عنه.
وعلم التاريخ هو: معرفة أحوال الطوائف وبلدانهم ورسومهم وعاداتهم وصنائع أشخاصهم وأنسابهم ووفياتهم إلى غير ذلك.
وموضوعه: أحوال الأشخاص الماضية من الأنبياء والأولياء والعلماء والحكماء والملوك والشعراء وغيرهم.
والغرض منه: الوقوف على الأحوال الماضية وفائدته: العبرة بتلك الأحوال والتنصح بها وحصول ملكة التجارب بالوقوف على تقلبات الزمن ليحترز عن أمثال ما نقل من المضار ويستجلب نظائرها من المنافع كذا في مدينة العلوم.
وهذا العلم كما قيل: عمر آخر للناظرين والانتفاع في مصره بمنافع تحصل للمسافرين. كذا في: مفتاح السعادة وقد جعل صاحبه لهذا العلم فروعا: كعلوم الطبقات والوفيات لكن الموضوع مشتمل عليها فلا وجه للإفراد والتفصيل في مقدمة الفذلكة من مسودات جامع المجلة.

وأما التواريخ: لسان الفرس فأكثر من أن تحصى تركنا ذكرها للاستغناء بما ذكرنا منها. انتهى.
قلت: وقد استوفى في: الكشف أسماء التواريخ مع أسماء مؤلفيها فإن شئت الاطلاع فارجع إليه.
ومن الكتب النفيسة المعتبرة في هذا العلم: تاريخ القاضي عبد الرحمن بن محمد الإشبيلي الحضرمي المالكي المتوفى سنة ثمان وثمانمائة وهو كبير عظم النفع والفائدة رتب على السنين وروي أنه كان في وقعة تيمور قاضيا بحلب فحصل في قبضته أسيرا سميرا فكان يصاحبه وسافر معه إلى سمرقند فقال له يوما: لي تاريخ كبير جمعت فيه الوقائع بأسرها فخلفته بمصر وسيظفر به المجنون يشير إلى برقوق فقال له: هل يمكن تلافي هذا الأمر واستخلاص الكتاب فاستأذنه في أن يعود إلى مصر ليجيء به فأذن له.
ولعل ذلك الكتاب هو كتاب: العبر وديوان المبتدأ والخبر في أيام العرب والعجم والبربر
وقد اشتهر نحو ثلاثة بالمقدمة ودون مفردا وهو كتاب مفيد جامع لمنافع لا توجد في غيره شرح الشيخ أحمد المغربي المتوفى سنة إحدى وأربعين وألف مؤرخ الأندلس مقدمته كذا أخبر به ابن البيلوني وترجم أوائل المقدمة شيخ الإسلام محمد صاحب المعروف ببيري زاده المتوفى سنة اثنتين وستين ومائة وألف. انتهى.

ايه

2 ايّه بِهَا, (S, TA,) and, accord. to some, بِهِمْ (TA,) and بِهِ, (K, * TA,) inf. n. تَأْيِيهٌ, (S, K,) He cried out to, or shouted to, and called, (S, K, TA,) them, namely, camels, (S, TA,) and, accord. to some, horses, and men, (TA,) and him, (K, TA,) namely, a camel: (TA:) or ايّه به signifies he said to him, namely, a man, and a horse, يَا وَيْهَاهْ [Ho! On!]: (A 'Obeyd:) and he said to him, namely, a man, يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ [O thou man]: (K:) or he called him, يا ايّها الرجل: (IAth:) and he cried out to him, or at him; or drove him away with crying or a cry; namely, an object of the chase. (TA.) أَيْهَ would seem to be a dial. var. of وَيْهَ; for it is said that] أَيْهَكَ is syn. with وَيْهَكَ. (K: [but see وَيْهَ.]) A2: أَيْهًا: see أَيْهَاتَ.

إِيهْ, with the ه quiescent, is a word used in chiding, or checking; meaning حَسْبُكَ [Sufficient for thee is such a thing; &c.]. (ISd, K.) b2: إِيهًا signifies, (S, K,) as also ايهَ, (K,) a command to be silent, (S, K,) and to abstain; (S, TA;) i. e. Be silent; and abstain, or desist: (TA:) both are used in chiding, or checking: and هِيهَ is used in the place of إِيهَ. (Lth, TA.) You say [also,] إِيهًا عَنَّا Be silent, and abstain from [troubling] us. (S, TA.) And إِيهَا عَنِّى الْآنَ Abstain thou from [Troubling] me now. (Az, TA.) b3: إِيهًا also occurs as meaning I hold that to be true, and approve it. (IAth, TA.) A2: إِيهِ, as also إِيهَ and إِيهٍ, is a word denoting a desire, or demand, for one to add, or to give, or do, more; (Lth, K;) and a desire for one to speak: (K:) it (i. e. إِيهِ) is an imperative verbal noun, (S,) indecl., with kesr for its termination: (K:) you say to a man, when you desire, or demand, his telling or saying more of a [certain] story or subject of discourse, or his doing more of a [certain] deed, إِيهِ, with kesr. to the ه; (S;) [i. e. Tell me, or say, more of this; say on; go on, or proceed, with this; or do more of this;] and افْعَلْ إِيهِ [Go on, or proceed, with this; do it]; (Az;) and for إِيهِ, you say, هِيهِ: (Lth:) but when you make no interruption after it, you pronounce it with tenween, (ISk, S, K,) and say إِيهٍ, (ISk, S,) which means حَدِّثْنَا [i. e. Tell us, or relate to us, something]; (Ks, Lh, (ISk, * S; *) and for this one says هِيهٍ, by substitution of one letter for another: (Ks, Lh:) or it means زِدْ [i. e. tell, or say, or do, something more]; and هَاتِ [i. e. give, or relate, something]; (Har p. 592;) and تَكَلَّمَ [i. e. speak]. (Idem p. 419.) In the following saying of Dhu-r-Rummeh, وَقَفْنَا وَ قُلْنَا إِيهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَالِمٍ

وَ مَا بَالُ تَكْلِيمِ الدِّيَارِ البَلَاقِعِ [We stopped, and we said, Tell us some tidings: inform us (أَخْبِرِينَا being app. understood) respecting Umm-Sálim: but what is the case (meaning what is the use) of speaking to the vacant dwellings?], he has used the word without tenween, though making no interruption after it, because he intended a pause. (ISk, S.) Ibn-Es-Seree says, When you say, إِيهِ يَا رَجُلُ, you only command him to tell you more of the subject of discourse known to you and him, as though you said, هَاتِ الحَدِيثَ [Give, or relate, the story, or narrative, O man]: but if you say, إِيهٍ, with tenween, it is as though you said, هَاتِ حَدِيثًا مَّا [Give, or relate, some story or narrative], because the tenween renders indeterminate: and Dhu-rRummeh meant the tenween, but omitted it through necessity. (S.) As says that Dhu-rRummeh has committed a mistake; the expression of the Arabs being only إِيهٍ [in a case of this kind]: ISd says, the truth is, that it is without tenween when determinate, and with tenween when indeterminate; and that Dhu-r-Rummeh asks the ruins to tell him more of a known story, as though he said, Relate to us the story, or tell us the tidings: (TA:) Aboo-Bekr Ibn-Es-Sarráj says, citing this verse, that ايه is not known in a case of this kind without tenween in any of the dialects; meaning that it is never conjoined with a following word unless it be with tenween. (IB, TA.) أَيْهَا: see what next follows.

أَيْهَاتَ i. q. هَيْهَاتَ [Far, or far from being believed or from the truth, is such a thing: or remoteness, or remoteness from being believed or from the truth, is to be attributed to such a thing.]: as also ↓ أَيْهَانِ, (S, K,) and ↓ أَيْهَانَ, (K, TA, in the CK اَيْهَانُ,) [and several other dial. vars., for which see هَيْهَاتَ,] and ↓ أَيْهَا, (TA; and so in some copies of the S and K; in other copies of these, ↓ أَيْهًا; [but the former is app. the right;]) with the ن [or the ت] suppressed, (TA,) which is said in pronouncing [a thing] to be remote [whether in a proper or a tropical sense]: (S, TA:) Th explains ↓ أَيْهَانِ as meaning بَعِيدٌ ذٰلِكَ AA explains it as meaning بَعُدَ ذٰلِكَ, making it a verbal noun; and this is the correct explanation: (TA:) or the meaning is البُعْدُ, [as I have indicated above,] (K in art. هيه,) but this is only when لِ is prefixed to what follows it, as Sb says. (TA. [See هَيْهَاتَ.]) أَيْهَانَ and أَيْهَانِ: see أَيْهَاتَ, in three places.

أَيِّهٌ Having a strong, or loud, voice; and vigilant, or wary. (Ham p. 675.) أَيُّهَا: see أَىٌّ; last portion of the paragraph.

الأخماس:
فمنها: خمس الغنيمة التي كان يأخذها النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، ومنها أخماس المعدن واشتقاقه من عدن بالمكان، إذا أقام به وثبت، وكان ذلك لازما له كمعدن الذهب والفضّة والحديد والصفر وما يستخرج من تراب الأرض بالحيلة أبدا، ففيه الخمس، ومنها سيب البحر، وهو ما يلقيه، كالعنبر وما أشبهه، فكأنه عطاء البحر، فيه الخمس، ومنها: ما يأخذه العاشر من أموال المسلمين وأهل الذّمة والحرب، التي يتردّد بها في التجارات. ثم نقول الآن: قال أهل العلم: أيما أهل حصن أعطوا الفدية، من حصنهم، ليكفّ عنهم، ورأى الإمام ذلك حظّا للدين والإسلام، فتلك المدينة للمسلمين، فإذا ورد الجند على حصن، وهم في منعة لم يظهر عليهم بغلبة، لم تكن تلك الفدية غنيمة للذين حضروا دون جماعة المسلمين.
وكل ما أخذ من أهل الحرب من فدية، فهي عامّة وليست بخاصّة من حضر. وقال يحيى بن آدم: سمعت شريكا يقول: إنما أرض الخراج ما كان صلحا على الخراج يؤدّونه إلى المسلمين. قال يحيى: فقلت لشريك: فما حال السواد؟ قال: هذا أخذ عنوة فهو فيء، ولكنّهم تركوا فيه، فوضع عليهم شيء يؤدّونه. قال: وما دون ذلك من السواد فيء، وما وراءه صلح. وأبو حنيفة، رضي الله عنه، يقول: ما صولح عليه المسلمون، فسبيله سبيل الفيء. وروي عن النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، أنه قال: لعلّكم تقاتلون قوما، فيدفعونكم بأموالهم دون أنفسهم وأبنائهم، ويصالحونكم على صلح، فلا تأخذوا فوق ذلك، فإنه لا يحلّ لكم. ورخّص بعض الفقهاء في الازدياد على ما يحتمل الزيادة، وفي يده الفضل من أهل الصلح، واتّبعوا في ذلك سننا وآثارا ممن سلف، إلا أن الفرق بين الصلح والعنوة، وإن كانا جميعا من العشر والخراج. إلا أنه وقع في ملك أهل العنوة خلاف، ولم يقع في ملك أهل الصلح. وكره بعض أهل النظر شراء أرض أهل العنوة، واجتمع الكل على جواز شراء أرض أهل الصلح، لأنهم، إذا صولحوا قبل القدرة عليهم والغلبة لهم، فأرضوهم، ملك في أيديهم. وقال الشافعي، رضي الله عنه: إن مكث أهل الصلح أعواما لا يؤدّون ما صولحوا عليه من فاقة أو جهد، كان ذلك عليهم إذا أيسروا. وقال أبو حنيفة، رضي الله عنه: يؤخذون بأداء ما وجب عليهم مستأنفــا ولا شيء عليهم فيما مضى. وهو قول سفيان الثوري. وقال مالك وأهل الحجاز: إذا أسلم الرجل من أهل الصلح أخذ من أرضه العشر وسقطت حصّته من الصلح، فإن أهل قبرس لو أسلموا جميعا، كانت أرضهم عشريّة، لأنها لم تؤخذ منهم، وإنما أعطوا الفدية عن القتل. وأبو حنيفة وسفيان وأهل العراق يجرون الصلح مجرى الفيء، فإن أسلم أهله أجروا على أمرهم الأول في الصلح، إلا أنه لا يزداد عليهم في شيء، وإن نقضوا، إذا كان مال الصلح محتاجا لمعايشهم، فلا بأس به.
الباب الخامس في جمل من أخبار البلدان
قال الحجّاج لزادان فرّوخ: أخبرني عن العرب والأمصار. فقال: أصلح الله الأمير، أنا بالعجم أبصر منّي بالعرب. قال: لتخبرني. قال: سلني عمّا بدا لك. قال: أخبرني عن أهل الكوفة. قال:
نزلوا بحضرة أهل السواد، فأخذوا من مناقبهم ومن سماحتهم. قال: فأهل البصرة؟ قال: نزلوا بحضرة الخوز فأخذوا من مكرهم وبخلهم. قال: فأهل الحجاز؟ قال: نزلوا بحضرة السّودان فأخذوا من خفّة عقولهم وطربهم. فغضب الحجاج، فقال: أعزّك الله، لست منهم حجازيّا، أنت رجل من أهل الشام. قال: أخبرني عن أهل الشام. قال: نزلوا بحضرة أهل الروم فأخذوا من ترفّقهم وصناعتهم وشجاعتهم. وسأل معاوية ابن الكوّاء عن أهل الكوفة، فقال: أبحث الناس عن صغيرة، وأضيعهم لكبيرة. قال: فأهل البصرة؟ قال: غنم وردن جميعا وصدرن شتّى. قال: فأهل الحجاز؟
قال: أسرع الناس إلى فتنة وأضعفهم فيها. قال: فأهل مصر؟ قال: أجدّاء أحدّاء أشدّاء أكلة من غلب. قال: فأهل الموصل؟ قال: قلادة أمّة فيها من كل خرزة. قال: فأهل الجزيرة؟
قال: كناسة بين المصرين. ثم سكت. قال ابن الكوّاء: سلني. فسكت. قال: لتسأل أو لأخبرك عمّا عنه تحيد. قال: أخبرني عن أهل الشام. قال: أطوع الناس لمخلوق، وأعصاهم لخالق.
وقد جعلت القدماء ملوك الأرض طبقات، فأقرّت، فيما زعموا، جميع الملوك لملك بابل بالتعظيم، وأنه أول ملوك العالم، ومنزلته فيها كمنزلة القمر في الكواكب، لأن إقليمه أشرف الأقاليم، ولأنه أكثر الملوك مالا، وأحسنهم طبعا، وأكثرهم سياسة وحزما، وكانت ملوكه يلقّبونه بشاهنشاه، ومعناه ملك الملوك، ومنزلته من العالم كمنزلة القلب من الجسد والواسطة من القلادة.
ثم يتلوه في العظمة، ملك الهند، وهو ملك الحكمة، وملك الغلبة، لأن عند الملوك الأكابر:
الحكمة من الهند. ثم يتلوا ملك الهند في الرتبة، ملك الصين، وهو ملك الرعاية والسياسة وإتقان الصنعة، وليس في ملوك العالم أكثر رعاية وتفقّدا من ملك الصين في رعيّته وجنده وأعوانه، وهو ذو بأس شديد، وقوّة ومنعة، له الجنود المستعدّة، والكراع والسلاح، وجنده ذو أرزاق مثل ملك بابل. ثم يتلوه ملك الترك، صاحب مدينة كوشان، وهو ملك التغزغز، ويدعى ملك السباع، وملك الخيل، إذ ليس في ملوك العالم أشدّ من رجاله، ولا أجرأ منه على سفك الدماء، ولا أكثر
خيلا منه، ومملكته ما بين بلاد الصين ومفاوز خراسان، ويدعى بالاسم الأعمّ، وهو إيرخان. وكان للترك ملوك كثيرة وأجناس مختلفة أولو بأس وشدّة، لا يدينون لأحد من الملوك، إلا أنه ليس فيهم من يداري ملكه. ثم ملك الروم، ويدعى ملك الرجال، وليس في ملوك العالم أصبح من رجاله.
ثم تتساوى الملوك بعد هؤلاء في الترتيب، وقال بعض الشعراء:
الدار داران: إيوان، وغمدان، ... والملك ملكان: ساسان وقحطان
والأرض فارس، والإقليم بابل، وال ... إسلام مكّة، والدنيا خراسان
والجانبان العلندان اللّذا حسنا ... منها: بخارا، وبلخ الشاه، توران
والبيلقان، وطبرستان، فأزرهما، ... واللّكز شروانها، والجيل جيلان
قد رتّب الناس جمّ في مراتبهم: ... فمرزبان، وبطريق، وطرخان
في الفرس كسرى، وفي الروم القياصر، وا ... حبش النّجاشيّ، والأَتراك خاقان
روي أن عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، سأل كعب الأحبار عن البلاد وأحوالها، فقال:
يا أمير المؤمنين، لما خلق الله، سبحانه وتعالى، الأشياء ألحق كلّ شيء بشيء، فقال العقل: أنا لاحق بالعراق، فقال العلم: أنا معك. فقال المال: أنا لاحق بالشام، فقالت الفتن: وأنا معك. فقال الفقر: أنا لاحق بالحجاز، فقال القنوع: وأنا معك. فقالت القساوة: أنا لاحقة بالمغرب، فقال سوء الخلق: وأنا معك. فقالت الصباحة: أنا لاحقه بالمشرق، فقال حسن الخلق: وأنا معك. فقال الشقاء: أنا لاحق بالبداوي، فقالت الصحّة: وأنا معك. انتهى كلام كعب الأحبار، والله الموفّق للصواب وإليه المرجع والمآب.
