1 طَفَّ, (As, O, K,) [aor., app., طَفِّ,] inf. n. طَفٌّ, (TK, [or, accord. to Freytag طُفُوفٌ, which see in what follows,]) It (a thing) was, or became, near. (As, O, K.) You say, أَخَذْتُ مِنْ مَتَاعِى مَا خَفَّ وَطَفَّ i. e. [I took, of my goods,] what [was light, and] was near to me. (As, O.) And طَفَّ الشَّىْءُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ The thing was, or became, near to the thing. (O, K. *) And خُذْ مَا طَفَّ لَكَ, and لَكَ ↓ اسْتَطَفَّ, (S, Meyd, O, K,) and لَكَ ↓ أَطَفَّ, (Meyd, O, TA,) Take thou what has risen to thee, and become within thy power or reach, (S, O, K, TA,) and become attainable [to thee], or prepared [for thee], (Az, Meyd, TA,) and become near to thee: (K, TA:) or what has risen to view, and has appeared, [to thee,] to be taken: (TA:) [for] طَفَّ, inf. n. طُفُوفٌ, signifies it rose [app. so as to become visible]: and it was, or became, little in quantity: the saying is a prov., relating to a man's being content with a part of that which he wants: (Meyd:) and in like manner one says, خُذْ مَا دَفَّ لَكَ, and اسْتَدَفَّ: (Az, Meyd, TA:) and Ks mentions, in relation to a man's being content with a part of that which he wants, the saying, خُذْ مَا طَفَّ لَكَ وَدَعْ لَكَ ↓ مَا اسْتَطَفَّ [app. meaning, if the saying be correctly thus related, Take what is within thy power, or reach, and leave what has risen to thy view so as to invite approach]; i. e. be content with what is within thy power. (TA.) b2: طَفَّتِ الشَّمْسُ: b3: and طَفَّ said of a bird: see 2. b4: مَرَّيَطفُّ [app. يَطِفٌّ] He passed by hastening, or going quickly. (O.)

(O.) b2: طَفَّهُ He (a man, O) raised it (i. e. a thing, O) with his leg or foot, or with his arm or hand. (O, K.) And طَفَّ بِفُلَانٍ مَوْضِعَ كَذَا He raised such a one to such a place; and made him to be on a level with it. (TA.) b3: and طَفَّ الحَائِطَ, inf. n. طَفٌّ, He mounted upon the wall. (TA.) 2 طفّف He made defective, or deficient. (TA.) You say, طفّف, (K,) or طفّف المِكْيَالَ, and المِيزَانَ, (Msb,) inf. n. تَطْفِيفٌ, (S, O, Msb,) He gave short measure, and short weight; (Msb;) he made the contents of the measure to be defective, (S, O, Msb, K,) and in like manner, of the balance; (Msb;) not filling the former to its uppermost parts: (S, TA:) i. e. he did thus, cheating his companion in measure or in weight. (TA.) [Hence,] طفّف عَلَى عِيَالِهِ (tropical:) He scanted his household, stinted them, or was niggardly or parsimonious towards them, in expenditure. (TA.) And طفّف عَلَى الرَّجُلِ (assumed tropical:) He gave to the man less than he had taken from him. (TA.) and طفّف الإِنَآءَ He took what was upon [or above] the vessel [i. e. its طُفَاف, or طُفَافَة].

A2: طفّفت الشَّمْسُ (tropical:) The sun drew near to setting: (TA:) [but this may be a mistranscription for ↓ طَفَّت, mentioned by Golius in this sense on the authority of Z: or each may be correct: that the latter is correct, and that ↓ طَفَافٌ or ↓ طِفَافٌ is its inf. n., seems to be indicated by the fact that SM adds immediately after the explanation of the former phrase,] أَتَانَا عِنْدَ طفافِ الشَّمْسِ means (tropical:) [He came to us] at the sun's drawing near to setting. (TA.) b2: طفّف, said of a bird, [or ↓ طَفَّ, mentioned by Freytag from Hamaker's Specim. catal. p. 49, 1. 4, of the Arabic text, or both may be correct,] The bird expanded his wings: (O, K:) so says Ibn-'Abbád. (O.) b3: And طفّف بِهِ الفَرَسُ (tropical:) The horse leaped with him. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K. [Golius has omitted this; and has assigned to طفّف, followed by ب with the person who is the object, as on the authority of the S and K, the signification of ادنا (properly أَدْنَى), meaning “ prope admovit,” a signification belonging to أَطَفَّ, but not assigned to either of these verbs in the S nor in the K.]) طَفَّفَ بِىَ الفَرَسُ مَسْجِدَ بَنِى

زُرَيْقٍ, in a saying of Ibn-'Omar respecting a horse-race, means (tropical:) The horse leaped with me (S, O, TA) so that he passed beyond the mosque of the Sons of Zureyk. (O, TA.) 4 خُذْ مَاأَطَفَّ لَكَ: see 1. b2: And اطفّ لَهُ He had knowledge of it, i. e. an affair; (Lth, O, K;) and of him, i. e. a person.

(O.) b4: And اطفّ عَلَيْهِ i. q. أَشْرَفَ (O, K) i. e. أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ [meaning He looked upon it, looked upon it from above, looked down upon it, got a view of it, saw it, or got knowledge of it]; namely, a thing; as also أَطَلَّ عَلَيْهِ. (O.) b5: And, (Az, O, K, TA,) as also أَطَلَّ عَلَيْهِ, (Az, TA,) He got possession of it, (Az, O, K, TA,) and took it away, or went away with it; (Az, O, TA;) namely, the property of another person. (Az, TA.) b6: اطفّ عَلَيْهِ بِحَجَرٍ He reached, or hit, him, or it, (تَنَاوَلَهُ,) with a stone. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) b7: اطفّت النَّاقَةُ The she-camel cast, (Ibn-'Abbád, O,) or brought forth, (K,) her young one in an imperfect state. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) A2: اطفّه He put it, or brought it, near: 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd says, [using the verb in this sense,] أَطَفَّ لِأَنْفِهِ المُوسَى قَصِيرٌ [Kaseer put the razor near to his nose]: (Ham p. 436:) or this means Kaseer put the razor near to his nose and cut it off. (TA.) b2: And i. q. مَكَّنَهُ. (TA.) [You say, مَكَّنَهُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ, and app., in like manner, اطفّهُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ, i. e. He made him to have power over the thing; or to have the thing within his power or reach; and so, perhaps, اطفّهُ لِلشَّىْءَ.] b3: And اطفّ لَهُ السَّيْفَ He held forth the sword towards him, and struck him with it. (TA.) b4: And اطفّ الكَيْلَ He made the contents of the measure to reach to its uppermost parts: (S, K:) or, as some say, he took what was upon [or above] the measure. (TA. [See also طَفَّفَ الإِنَآءَ.]) 10 استطفّ, said of a camel's hump, It rose, or became high. (TA.) b2: And استطفّت حَاجَتُهُ The thing that he wanted became prepared, and easy of attainment. (TA.)

(TA.) And الطَّفُّ is applied to The part of the land of the Arabs that overlooks the cultivated region of El-'Irák: (IDrd, O, K:) said by As to be so called because it is near to the cultivated region: (O:) or it is a place in the district of El-Koofeh.

(S, Mgh, O) of the Prophet, (Mgh, O,) كُلُّكُمْ بَنُو آدَمَ الصَّاعِ ↓ طَفَّ, (S, O,) or طَفُّ الصَّاعِ, (so in my copy of the Mgh,) All of you, sons of Adam, are like the quantity nearly sufficing for the filling of the صاع; (S, * Mgh, O;) i. e. ye are all nearly alike; so says Az: (Mgh:) meaning, all of you, in being related to one father, are in one predicament in respect of defectiveness, like the thing measured that falls short of filling the measure: (IAth, Mgh, O:) the Prophet then proceeded to inform them that there is no excellence of one above another except by piety. (O.) A2: طَفَافٌ signifies also The blackness of night; (O, K;) and so ↓ طِفَافٌ. (K.) b2: See also 2.

طَفِيفٌ Little in quantity: (S, O, Msb, K:) and incomplete: (IDrd, O, K:) applied to a thing in this sense, (IDrd, O,) and in the former sense. (TA.) [See تِفْلٌ.] b2: Also Low, base, vile, mean, paltry, or contemptible. (TA.) طُفَافَةٌ The quantity that is above the measure; (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ طُفَافٌ (S) or ↓ طَفَفَةٌ: (O, K:) or the quantity that falls short of filling the vessel, (IDrd, O, K,) of beverage or wine, &c.

(K.) طَفَّافٌ (O, K) and ↓ طَفٌّ (K) and خَفٌّ and دَفٌّ, as epithets applied to a horse, are alike (O, K) in meaning (K) [app. signifying Light, brisk, or quick: (see طَفَّفَ بِهِ الفَرَسُ:) in the TK, and hence by Freytag, expl. as meaning thus, but as an epithet applied to a man].

إِنَآءٌ طَفَّانُ [in the CK طَفّانٌ] A vessel in which the measuring [or thing measured] has reached its uppermost parts: (S, O, K:) [or] a full vessel.

مُطَفِّفٌ One who gives short measure, and short weight, (Zj, Msb, TA,) thus cheating his companion; but this epithet is not applied unrestrictedly except in the case of exorbitant deficiency: [or] accord. to Aboo-Is-hák [i. e. Zj], the مطفّف is thus called because he seldom or never steals from the measure or balance save what is paltry, i. e. طَفِيف; for it is from طَفُّ الشَّىْءِ, meaning “ the side of the thing: ” the pl. occurs in the Kur lxxxiii. 1. (TA.)

بيد

1 بَادَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. بَيْدٌ (T, S, M, &c.) and بُيُودٌ (S, M, L, Msb, K) and بَيَادٌ (M, L, Msb, K) and بَيْدُودَةٌ (Lh, M, L, K) and بَوَادٌ (L, K) and بَوْدٌ, (CK,) the last but one disapproved by MF, (TA,) [and the last equally doubtful,] He, or it, perished; (T, S, A, Mgh, L, Msb;) went away; passed away; became cut off, or extinct; came to an end. (M, L, K.) b2: بَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ, inf. n. بُيُودٌ, The sun set. (Sb, M, K.) 4 أَبَادَهُمْ He (God) destroyed them; (T, S, A, Mgh, * Msb;) caused them to go away, pass away, become cut off or extinct, or come to an end. (M. *) بَيْدَ, (T, S, M, L, Mughnee, K,) as also ↓ بَايَدَ, (L, K,) or بَائِدَ, (so in the Mughnee and in a MS. copy of the K and in the CK, and in a MS. copy of the K omitted,) a noun inseparably prefixed to أَنَّ with its complement, (Mughnee,) used as syn. with غَيْر, (Ks, T, S, M, &c.,) but never otherwise than in the accus. case, nor as an epithet, nor otherwise than as an exceptive in a case in which the thing excepted is disunited in kind from that from which the exception is made. (Mughnee.) You say, هُوَ كَثِيرُ المَالِ بَيْدَ أَنَّهُ بَخِيلٌ He is possessed of abundant, or much, wealth, but he is niggardly. (ISk, S, M, A, Msb, Mughnee.) b2: Also as syn. with عَلَى, (M, K,) as some say; (A'Obeyd, M;) but to render it in the former manner is preferable. (M.) Accord. to some, (L,) it is syn. with عَلَى in the following trad.: نَحْنُ الآخِرُونَ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ القيَامَةِ بَيْدَ أَنَّهُمْ أُوتُو الكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا وَ أُوتِينَاهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ [We, the latter people, shall be those who will precede on the day of resurrection, although they were given the Scripture before us, and we were given it after them]: (T, L:) El-Umawee holds it to be so: (T:) but Ks says that it here signifies غَيْر [as in the former ex.]: (T, L: [and so says IHsh in the Mughnee:]) accord. to one recital, it is بايَد; (L;) or بَائِدَ; so in the Musnad of the Imám Esh-Sháfi'ee: (Mughnee:) IAth says, I have not found this in the classical language in the sense of عَلَى: some say that it is بِأَيْدٍ, i. e. by means of strength, or power; and that the meaning is, we shall be those who will precede to Paradise on the day of resurrection by means of strength, or power, given us by God. (L.) b3: Also, [accord. to some,] as meaning مِنْ أَجْلِ: (L, Mughnee, K:) as in the saying of Mohammad, أَنَا أَفْصَحُ العَرَبِ بَيْدَ أَنِّى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَنَشَأْتُ فِى بَنِى سَعْدٍ [I am the most chaste in speech of the Arabs because I am of the tribe of Kureysh and I grew up among the children of Saad]: (T, L: [in the Mughnee given somewhat differently:]) but Ibn-Málik and others say that it here, also, means غير, after the manner in which the latter is used in the saying [of a poet], وَلَا عَيْبَ فِيهِمْ غَيْرَ أَنَّ سُيُوفَهُمْ بِهِنَّ فُلُولٌ مِنْ قِرَاعِ الكَتَائِبِ [And there is no blemish in them, save that their swords have in them notches from the conflicting of the troops]. (Mughnee.) This manner of praising is termed by Abu-l-'Abbás Mohammad Ibn-Yezeed اِسْتِثْبَاتٌ. (Ham p. 474.) b4: مَيْدَ is also a dial. var. of the same. (A'Obeyd, T, Mughnee.) بَيْدَآءُ A desert; or a waterless desert: (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) or one that is plain, or level, in which horses are made to run: (M:) or one wherein is nothing: (TA:) so called, accord. to IJ, because it [often] destroys him who alights, or sojourns, in it: (M, Msb: *) or a plain tract, slightly elevated, with few trees, and without herbage, extending to the distance of a day's journey, or half a day's journey, or less, rugged and hard, and only in a country of mould, or clay: (ISh:) pl. بِيْدٌ: (S, M, Msb, K:) it has a pl. of a form proper to epithets because it is originally an epithet: (M:) by rule it should be بَيْدَاوَاتٌ. (M, K.) بَيْدَانَةٌ A she-ass; a subst. applied to that animal: (S:) or a wild she-ass: (M, K:) or one that inhabits a desert (بَيْدَآء); (T, K;) [an epithet;] not a subst. applied to the animal; J being in error in asserting it to be such: (K:) the [wild] she-ass is thus called, accord. to most of the lexicologists, because it inhabits the بيداء; and if so, the ن is an augmentative letter: or, accord. to some, because it is large in the body (البَدَن); and if so, the ن is a radical letter: (L:) the pl. is بَيْدَانَاتٌ. (L, K.) بَايَدَ, or بَائِدَ: see بَيْدَ. Quasi بير بِيْرٌ; pl. of pauc. أَبْيَارٌ: see بِئْرٌ, in art. بأر.

ضلع

1 ضَلَعَ, aor. ـَ (S, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. ضَلْعٌ, (S, O, Msb,) It, or (assumed tropical:) he, inclined, or declined: (S, O, K:) it, or (assumed tropical:) he, declined, or deviated, from that which was right, or true: (S, O, Msb, K:) (assumed tropical:) he acted wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically. (S, * O, * K.) You say, ضَلَعَ عَنْهُ (tropical:) He deviated, or turned away, from him, or it; or he did so, acting wrongfully, &c.: and ضَلَعَ عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) he acted wrongfully, &c., against him. (TA.) And ضَلْعُكَ مَعَ فُلَانٍ (S, O, Msb, * K *) (assumed tropical:) Thy inclining, (S, O, Msb, K,) and thy love, or desire, (S, O,) is with such a one [i. e. in unison with that of such a one]. (S, O, Msb, * K: * in the Msb and K, مَعَهُ is put in the place of مَعَ فُلَانٍ.) And لَا تَنْقُشِ الشَّوْكَةَ بِالشَّوْكَةِ فَإِنَّ ضَلْعَهَا مَعَهَا, (S, O, K,) or بِمِثْلِهَا [in the place of بالشوكة], (Meyd,) [lit. Extract not thou the thorn by means of the thorn, or by means of the like of it, for its inclination is with it,] meaning, demand not aid, in the case of thy want, of him who is more benevolent to the person from whom the object of want is sought than he is to thee: (Meyd:) a prov.: (S, Meyd, O:) applied to the man who contends in an altercation with another, and says, “Appoint thou between me and thee such a one; ” pointing to a man who loves what he [i. e. the opponent of the speaker] loves: (S, O, K:) the author of the K adds, it is said that it should by rule be ضَلَعَكَ, for they say ضَلِعَ مَعَ فُلَانٍ, like فَرِحَ, [as though meaning he inclined with such a one,] but they have contracted it; which is wonderful, in consideration with his having mentioned shortly before, ضَلَعَ, like مَنَعَ, as signifying مَالَ. (TA.) One says also, خَاصَمْتُ فُلَانًا فَكَانَ ضَلْعُكَ عَلَىَّ i. e. (assumed tropical:) [I contended in an altercation with such a one and] thy inclining [was against me]. (S, O.) b2: ضَلِعَ, aor. ـَ (Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. ضَلَعٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) meansIt (a sword, K, or a thing, Msb) was, or became, crooked, or curved: (Mgh, Msb, K:) and ↓ تضلّع may mean the same: (Ham p. 80:) a poet says, (namely, Mohammad Ibn-'Abd-Allah El-Azdee, TA,) وَقَدْ يَحْمِلُ السَّيْفَ المُجَرَّبَ رَبُّهُ عَلَى ضَلَعٍ فِى مَتْنِهِ وَهْوَ قَاطِعُ [And verily, or sometimes, or often, its owner bears the tried sword, notwithstanding crookedness in its broad side, it being sharp]: (S, O:) and (K) ضَلَعٌ signifies the being crooked, or curved, by nature; (S, O, K;) as also ضَلْعٌ; whence the saying, لَأُقِيمَنَّ ضَلَعَكَ and ضَلْعَكَ [I will assuredly straighten thy natural crookedness]: (K:) thus in the copies of the K; but this is a mistake, occasioned by the author's seeing in the T and M لَأُقِيمَنَّ ضَلَعَكَ and صَلَعَكَ meaning عَوَجَكَ, and his imagining both these nouns to be with ض and to differ in the manner stated above: (TA:) you say, ضَلِعَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. ضَلَعٌ i. e. he, or it, was, or became, crooked, or curved, by nature: (S, O:) or ضَلَعٌ in the camel is like غَمْزٌ in horses or the like, [meaning the limping, or halting, or having a slight lameness, in the hind leg,] and the verb is ضَلِعَ; and the epithet [or part. n.] is ↓ ضَلِعٌ: (K:) or this is rather the explanation of ضَلْعٌ, with ظ; (TA;) [or as Mtr says,] ضَلْع as meaning what resembles عَرَجٌ [or natural lameness] is correctly ظَلْع: (Mgh:) but when it (i. e. the crookedness, TA) is not natural, one says, ضَلَعَ, like مَنَعَ, (K, TA,) [but this seems rather to relate to the meaning of “ limping,” agreeably with what I have cited above from the Mgh,] and the inf. n. is ضَلْعٌ: (TA:) and the epithet [or part. n.] is ↓ ضَالِعٌ. (K.) A2: ضَلُعَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. ضَلَاعَةٌ, He (a man, S, O, Msb, [and app. also a horse and the like, see its part. n. ضَلِيعٌ,]) was, or became, strong, or powerful; (S, O, Msb, K;) and strong, hard, or firm, in the أَضْلَاع [or ribs]. (S, O, K. [The latter is said in Har p. 6 to be the primary meaning; and the former, metaphorical.]) A3: ضَلَعَ as syn. with تَضَلَّعَ: see the latter.

A4: ضَلَعَ فُلَانًا He struck such a one upon his ضِلَع [or rib]. (K.) 2 ضَلَّعَ see 4, in two places. b2: تَضْلِيعُ الأَعْمَالِ is said by some to mean (assumed tropical:) The making deeds to deviate from the right, or direct, way or course: and by some to mean (assumed tropical:) the making them heavy, or burdensome. (Har p. 77.) b3: تَضْلِيعُ الثَّوْبِ signifies The figuring the garment, or piece of cloth, with the form of أَضْلَاع [or ribs]. (S, O, K.) [See also the pass. part. n., below.]4 اضلعهُ, (K,) inf. n. إِضْلَاعٌ, (S, O,) It, or he, made it, or (assumed tropical:) him, to incline, or decline; (S, O, K;) [and so ↓ ضلّعهُ; for] الإِضْلَاعُ and التَّضْلِيعُ signify الإِمَالَةُ. (Har p. 77.) b2: [and It, or he, made it, or him, to be crooked, or curved; and so ↓ ضلّعهُ; for] الإِضْلَاعُ and التَّضْلِيعُ signify also التَّعْوِيجُ. (Har ubi suprà.) b3: [Hence,] one says also, أَضْلَعَتْهُ الخُطُوبُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [Affairs, or great or grievous affairs,] burdened him [as though making him to incline, or curving him]. (TA.) A2: See also 8.5 تضلّع: see 1, in the middle of the paragraph. b2: [Also,] (S, O, K,) and ↓ ضَلَعَ, like مَنَعَ, (K,) said of a man, (S, O,) He became filled, (S, O, K,) or what was between his أَضْلَاع [or ribs] became filled, (TA,) with food, (S, O, K,) or drink: (S, O:) or with drink so that the water reached his أَضْلَاع, (K, TA,) and they became swollen out in consequence thereof: (TA in explanation of the former verb:) and the former verb is also expl. as meaning he drank much, so that his side and his ribs became stretched.

(TA.) مُضْطَلِعٌ is from الضَّلَاعَةُ [inf. n. of ضَلُعَ]: so in the saying, فُلَانٌ مُضْطَلِعٌ بِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ i. e. Such a one is possessed of strength, or power, sufficient for this affair: so says ISk: and he adds that one should not say مُطَّلِعٌ: Aboo-Nasr Ahmad Ibn-Hátim says, one says هُوَ مُضْطَلِعٌ بِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ and مُطَّلِعٌ له [also]; الاِضْطِلَاعُ being from الضَّلَاعَةُ meaning القُوَّةُ; and الاِطِّلَاعُ being from العُلُوُّ, from the saying اِطَّلَعْتُ الثَّنِيَّةَ meaning عَلَوْتُهَا [I ascended upon the mountain, or mountain-road, termed ثَنِيَّة]; i. e. he is one who has ascendancy with respect to this affair, who is master of it: (S, O, TA:) Lth expressly allows مُطَّلِعٌ for مُضْطَلِعٌ by the incorporation of the ض into the [letter that is originally] ت, so that the two together become ط with teshdeed. (TA.) and لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ ↓ هُوَ مُضْلِعٌ means the same as مُضْطَلِعٌ as first expl. above, i. e. He is possessed of strength, or power, sufficient for this affair. (O, K. [In both, in this instance, لِهٰذَا, not بِهٰذَا.]) In the phrase إِذَا كَانَ مُضْطَلِعًا عَلَى حَقِّهِ [If he be possessed of power, or ability, to obtain his right, or due], it seems that مضطلعا is made trans. by means of على because made to imply the meaning of قَادِرًا or مُقْتَدِرًا. (Mgh.) ↓ مُسْتَضْلِعٌ, likewise, signifies Having strength, or power. (TA.) مُسْتَضْلِعٌ: see what next precedes.

(TA.) One says, لَا يَضُوعَنَّكَ مَا تَسْمَعُ مِنْهَا i. e. [By no means let that which thou hearest from her move thee, or disquiet thee, or frighten thee; or] do not thou be moved by what thou hearest from her; or do not thou care for it, or regard it. (TA.) And ضَاعَهُ أَمْرُ كَذَا وَكَذَا Such and such things frightened him. (AA, TA.) b2: And, said of the wind, It made it to incline; namely, a branch: (K:) and it (the wind) bore heavily upon it. (TA. [The object of the verb in this sense is not there mentioned.]) b3: And i. q. شَاقَهُ [He, or it, excited his desire]: (so in the O, on the authority of Ibn-'Abbád:) or i. q. شَاقَّهُ [he acted with him contrariously, or adversely, and inimically; &c.]. (So in copies of the K.) b4: And ضاع الإِبِلَ, (O,) or الدَّابَّةَ, (K,) said of journeying It rendered lean, or emaciated, (O, K,) the camels, (O,) or the beast. (K.) b5: And ضاع فَرْخَهُ, (IAar, O, K,) aor. as above, (IAar, O,) and so the inf. n., (TA,) It (a bird) fed its young one with its bill. (IAar, O, K.) When you command the bird to do so, you say ضُعْ ضُعْ. (IAar, O.)

(IAar, K.) And تضوّع مِسْكًا [It diffused the odour, or fragrance, of musk]. (S, O.) b2: And تضوّع مِنْهُ رَائِحَةً He snuffed, or scented, or smelt, from him, or it, an odour. (TA.) A2: Also, said of the [bird called] ضُوَع, It cried, or uttered a loud cry or crying. (AHát, O.) b2: And, (O,) said of a child, (K,) He writhed, (K,) or cried out and writhed, (O, K, * TA,) in weeping; (K, * TA; in the former, مِنَ البُكَآءِ; but correctly, فِى البكآءِ; TA;) as also ↓ ضاع, (Lth, O, K,) aor. ـُ (Lth, O,) inf. n. ضَوْعٌ: (TA:) both signify he cried, or uttered a loud cry or crying, in weeping; as one does when beaten: or the former, mostly said of a child, signifies he writhed in weeping with vehemence, and raising the voice; as expl. by Lth: (TA:) or it signifies also he (a child) wept vehemently: (O:) and, said of a young bird, it writhed, or cried out and writhed; (O, K;) as when said of a child; and so ↓ انضاع, said of both: (K:) or ↓ انضاع, said of a young bird, (S, O, K,) as also تضوّع, (O, K,) signifies it spread its wings to its mother in order that she might feed it with her bill. (S, O, K.) 7 انضاع: see the next preceding sentence, in two places. b2: Also He was frightened at a thing, and cried out at it, or uttered a loud cry or crying by reason of it.

(S, O, Msb, K.) ضُوَعَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

(TA.) الضَّوَّاعُ, like شَدَّاد, [in the O erroneously written الضُوَاعُ,] The fox. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) مَضُوعٌ pass. part. n. of ضَاعَهُ. (O, TA.)

(M, K. *) You say, قَطَّ القَلَمَ, (S, Msb,) aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (Msb,) He nibbed the reed for writing; cut off its head breadthwise, across, or crosswise. (S, * Msb.)

(TA.) b2: قَطَّ اللّٰهُ السِّعْرَ God made the price to be, or become, dear. (Fr. TA.) 2 قَطَّّ see 1, first sentence.7 انقطّ quasi-pass. of قَطَّهُ as explained in the first sentence of this art.; It was, or became, cut; &c.; and so ↓ اقتطّ.

(K.) قَطْ, signifying حَسْبُ, [explained in exs. here following,] (Lth, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K,) i. e., (S,) denoting the being satisfied, or content, (Sb, S, M, Msb,) with a thing, (Msb,) is thus written, with fet-h to the ق, and with the ط quiescent, (Sb, S, M, Msb, * Mughnee,) like عَنْ; (K;) and also, (Sb, M, K,) sometimes, (Sb, M,) ↓ قَطٍ, (Sb, M, K,) with tenween, mejroor; (K;) and ↓ قَطِى [distinguished from قَطِى in the next sentence]; (Sb, M, K;) but the term “ mejroor ” is here used contr. to the rules of grammar, as it denotes that قط is decl., whereas it is not. (MF.) It is used as a prefixed noun: you say, قَطْكَ هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ Thy sufficiency [meaning sufficient for thee] is this thing; syn. حَسْبُكَ; (Lth, S, Mughnee; *) and like it is قَدْ: (Lth:) and you also say, using it as a prefixed n., قَطْنِى My sufficiency; syn. حَسْبِى; (Lth, S, * Mughnee;) like قَدْنِى; introducing ن, (Lth, S, TA,) as in عَنِّى and مِنِّى and لَدُنِّى, contr. to rule, for the reason which has been explained in treating of قَدْ, (S, TA,) to preserve the original quiescence of the ط; (Mughnee;) and قَطِى; (S, Msb, Mughnee;) and ↓ قَطِ; (S;) and ↓ قَطَاطِ, (S, M, K,) like قَطَامِ, (S, K,) indecl.; (M;) as signifying حَسْبِى: (S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K:) and, as is said in the Moo'ab, قَطْ عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ دِرْهَمٌ The sufficiency of 'Abd-Allah is a dirhem; [and the like is said by Lth and in the Mughnee;] pausing upon the ط, and making قط to govern a gen. case [as it does virtually in the preceding instances]; and the Basrees say, that this is the right mode, as meaning the like of حَسْبُ زَيْدٍ

دِرْهَمٌ and كَفْىَ زَيْدٍ دِرْهَمٌ: (K:) or some say قَطْ, with jezm; and some say ↓ قَطُ, making it inded. with damm for its termination; each governing what follows it in the gen. case. (M.) b2: It is also a verbal noun, signifying يَكْفِى [It suffices, or will suffice; or it is, or will be, sufficient]; and when this is the case, you say, قَطْنِى, (Mughnee, K,) like as you say, يَكْفِينِى [It suffices me, or will suffice me]; (Mughnee;) or كَفَانِى [which means, emphatically, it suffices me], accord. to the Koofees; (Lth;) which is also allowable when قَطْ is equivalent to حَسْبُ [as we have observed above]: (Mughnee:) and you say also, قَطْكَ, meaning كَفَاكَ [emphatically It suffices thee]: and قَطِى, meaning كَفَانِى [emphatically It suffices me]: (K:) so in the copies of the K; [in the CK, erroneously, قَطَّنِى;] but [it seems that it should be قَطْنِى; for] it is said in the Mughnee and its Expositions, that in this last case the addition of the ن is indispensable: (MF:) and some say, قَطْ عَبْدَ اللّٰهِ دِرْهَمٌ [A dirhem suffices, or will suffice, 'Abd-Allah (in the CK, erroneously, قَطُّ)]; making it to govern the accus. case [as it does virtually in preceding instances]: and some add ن, saying, عَبْدَ اللّٰهِ دِرْهَمٌ ↓ قَطْنُ [meaning the same]: (Lth, K:) [hence,] some say, that [قَطْن in] قَطْنِى is a word originally thus formed without any augmentation, like [حَسْب in] حَسْبِى; (M;) [but J says,] if the ن in قَطْنِى belonged to the root of the word, they had said قَطْنُكَ, which is not known. (S.) b3: It is also syn. with حَسْبُ in the phrase مَا رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَقَطٌ [I have not seen him, or it, save once, and that was a thing sufficient or that was enough]: (S, Msb: *) or, as is said in the Mutowwel, قَطْ in فَقَطْ is a verbal noun, meaning abstain thou [from further questioning, or the like], as though it were the complement of a condition suppressed [such as “ the case being so ”]: or, as is said in the Mesáïl of Ibn-Es-Seed, the ف is properly prefixed because the meaning is and I was satisfied, or content, therewith; so that the ف is a conjunction: (from a marginal note in a copy of the Mughnee:) [it therefore virtually signifies and no more; or only; and thus it may often be rendered: and this explains what here follows:] when قَط is used to denote paucity, (M, K,) which is said by El-Hareeree, in the Durrah, to be only in negative phrases, (MF,) it is [written قَطْ,] with jezm, (M, K,) and without teshdeed: (M:) you say, مَا عِنْدَكَ إِلَّا هٰذَا قَطْ [which may be rendered Thou hast not save this only]: but when it is followed by a conjunctive ا, it is with kesr; [as in the saying,] مَا عَلِمْتُ إِلَّا هٰذَا قَطِ اليَوْمَ [virtually mean-ing I knew not, or, emphatically, know not, save this only, to-day]: (K:) and also, (K,) when thus using it, (M,) you say, مَا لَهُ إِلَّا عَشَرَةٌ قَطْ يَافَتَى [likewise virtually meaning He has not save ten only, O young man], without teshdeed, and with jezm; and ↓ قَطِّ, with teshdeed and khafd; (Lh, M, K;) the kesreh of the latter, in a case of this kind, being to distinguish the قَطّ which denotes [paucity of] number from قَطُّ, which denotes time. (Lth.) A2: See also قَطُّ, first sentence.

قُطْ: see قَطُّ.

قَطُ: see قَطْ: A2: and see also قَطُّ.

قَطِ: see قَطْ.

قُطُ: see قَطُّ.

قَطٍ: see قَطْ.

قَطَّ: see قَطُّ.

قَطُّ is an adv. noun, (Mughnee,) [generally] denoting time, (S, M, Mughnee,) or past time, (Msb, K,) used to include all past time; (Lth, Mughnee;) as also ↓ قُطُّ, (S, M, Mughnee, K,) the former vowel being assimilated to the latter; (S, Mughnee;) and ↓ قَطُ, (S, M, Mughnee, K,) and ↓ قُطُ; (S, Mughnee, * K;) and some say ↓ قَطْ, (S, Mughnee,) whence قَطُ is formed, by making its termination similar to that of the primary form قَطُّ, to show its origin; (S, M;) or this would be better than قَطُ; (M;) and ↓ قُطْ, (S, M, Mughnee, *) like مُذْ, which is rare: (S, M:) of all these, the first is the most chaste: (Mughnee:) when time is meant by it, it is always with refa, without tenween: (K:) or one says also ↓ قَطِّ, (M, Mughnee, K,) with kesr and teshdeed to the ط, (M, K,) accord. to IAar; (M;) and ↓ قَطَّ, with fet-h and teshdeed to the ط; (M, * K;) as well as with damm to the ط without teshdeed. (K [in some copies of which is here added, “and with refa to the ط; ” to which is further added in the CK, “without teshdeed: ” but I find two copies without any addition of this redundant kind: for by “ refa ” is here meant, as in a former instance, “damm; ”

though improperly, as the word is indecl.]) Yousay, مَا رَأَيْتُهُ قَطُّ &c. [I have not seen him, or it, ever, or hitherto]; (S, M, K;) and مَا فَعَلْتُهُ قَطَّ [I have not done it ever, or hitherto]; (Msb, Mughnee;) i. e., in the time that is past; (Msb, K;) or in what has been cut off of my life; (Mughnee, K;) its derivation being from قَطَطْتُ meaning “ I cut; ” for the past is cut off from the present and the future; and it is indecl. because it implies the meaning of مُذْ and إِلَى; its meaning being مُذْ أَنْ خُلِقْتُ إِلَى الآنَ [since my being created until now]; and with a vowel for its termination to prevent the occurrence of two quiescent letters together; (Mughnee;) and it is with refa [meaning damm for its termination] because it is like قَبْلُ and بَعْدُ: (Lth:) accord. to Ks, (S,) قَطُّ is a contraction of قَطَطُ: (S, M:) Sb says, that it denotes الإِنْتِهَآء; [app. meaning that it signifies abstain thou from further questioning, or the like; for El-Hareeree says, in the Durrah, that قَطُّ and قَطْ both signify the same as حَسْبُ;] and that it is indecl., with damm for its termination, like حَسْبُ. (M.) You say also, مَا فَعَلْتُ هٰذَا قَطْ وَلَا قَطُّ [app. meaning I have not done this alone, nor ever]: (K, TA: [in the CK قَطُّ ولا قُطُ, but]) the former قط is with jezm to the ط, and the latter is with teshdeed and damm to the ط. (TA.) And يَا فَتَى ↓ مَا زَالَ عَلَى هٰذَا مُذْ قُطَّ [He, or it, has not ceased to be after this manner during all past time, O young man]; with damm to the ق, and with teshdeed. (Lh, M.) It is used only in negative phrases relating to past time; the saying of the vulgar لَا أَفْعَلُهُ قَطُّ [meaning I will not do it ever] being incorrect; (Mughnee, K; [in the CK قَطُ]) for with respect to the future you say عَوْضُ (TA) [or أَبَدًا]: or it is mostly so used, accord. to Ibn-Málik: (MF:) but it occurs after an affirmative phrase in places in El-Bukháree, (K,) in his Saheeh; (TA;) for ex., أَطْوَلُ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّيْتُهَا قَطُّ [The longest prayer which I have prayed ever]: and in the Sunan of Aboo-Dawood; تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا قَطُّ [He performed the وُضُوْء three times ever]: and Ibn-Málik asserts it to be right, and says that it is one of the things which have been unperceived by many of the grammarians: (K:) El-Karmánee, however, interprets these instances as though they were negative. (TA.) قَطِّ: see قَطْ, near the end of the paragraph: A2: and see also قَطُّ, in the first sentence.

قُطُّ: see قَطُّ, in two places.

(S.) b2: رَجُلٌ قَطٌّ, and ↓ قَطَطٌ, (Msb,) or رَجُلٌ قَطُّ الشَّعَرِ, and ↓ قَطَطُ الشَّعَرِ, (S, M, K,) A man whose hair is crisp, curly, or twisted and contracted, and short: (M, K:) or whose hair is very crisp, very curly, or much twisted and contracted; (S, * Msb;) as also ↓ قِطَاطٌ: (K: accord. to some copies; but accord. to other copies, as a pl. in this sense: [the reading of the latter is more probably correct, and is that of the TA:]) or beautifully crisp or curly or twisted and contracted: (TA:) the pl. [of قَطٌّ] is أَقْطَاطٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and قَطُّونَ and قِطَاطٌ; and [of ↓ قَطَطٌ] قَطَطُونَ: (M, K:) the epithet applied to a woman is قَطَّةٌ, and ↓ قَطَطٌ without ة. (M, Msb.)

(TA.) b3: (assumed tropical:) A writing; (Fr, S, Msb;) [such as that of a man's works;] and hence, accord. to Fr, the words of the Kur cited above; those words being said in derision: (TA:) or a writing of reckoning: (M, K:) or a written obligation: (M:) or it signifies also a written obligation binding one to give a gift or present; (S, K, TA;) and hence the saying in the Kur cited above: (S:) pl. قُطُوطٌ: (S, M, Msb, K:) which Az explains as meaning gifts, and stipends; so called because they were issued written in the form of notes and statements of obligation upon cut pieces of paper or the like. (TA.) b4: (assumed tropical:) An hour, or a portion, (سَاعَة,) of the night. (M, K.) You say مَضَى قِطٌّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ (assumed tropical:) [An hour, or a portion, of the night passed]. (Th, M.) A2: A male cat: (S, M, Msb, K:) the female is called قِطَّةٌ: (Lth, S, M, Msb:) Kr disallowed this latter; and IDrd says, I do not think it to be genuine Arabic; (M;) but to this it is objected that it occurs in traditions: (MF:) the pl. is قِطَاطٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and قِطَطَةٌ, (M, K,) or قِطَطٌ. (Msb.) قَطَطٌ: see قَطٌّ, throughout.

بُلْغَارُ:
بالضم، والغين معجمة: مدينة الصقالبة ضاربة في الشمال، شديدة البرد لا يكاد الثلج يقلع عن أرضها صيفا ولا شتاء وقلّ ما يرى أهلها أرضا ناشفة، وبناؤهم بالخشب وحده، وهو أن يركبوا عودا فوق عود ويسمّروها بأوتاد من خشب أيضا محكمة، والفواكه والخيرات بأرضهم لا تنجب، وبين إتل مدينة الخزر وبلغار على طريق المفاوز نحو شهر، ويصعد إليها في نهر إتل نحو شهرين وفي الحدور نحو عشرين يوما، ومن بلغار إلى أول حدّ الروم نحو عشر مراحل، ومنها إلى كويابة مدينة الروس عشرون يوما، ومن بلغار
إلى بشجرد خمس وعشرون مرحلة، وكان ملك بلغار وأهلها قد أسلموا في أيام المقتدر بالله وأرسلوا إلى بغداد رسولا يعرّفون المقتدر ذلك ويسألونه إنفاذ من يعلّمهم الصلوات والشرائع، لكن لم أقف على السبب في إسلامهم. وقرأت رسالة عملها أحمد بن فضلان بن العباس بن راشد بن حمّاد مولى محمد بن سليمان رسول المقتدر بالله إلى ملك الصقالبة ذكر فيها ما شاهده منذ انفصل من بغداد إلى أن عاد إليها، قال فيها: لما وصل كتاب ألمس بن شلكى بلطوار ملك الصقالبة إلى أمير المؤمنين المقتدر بالله يسأله فيه أن يبعث إليه من يفقّهه في الدين ويعرّفه شرائع الإسلام ويبني له مسجدا وينصب له منبرا ليقيم عليه الدعوة في جميع بلده وأقطار مملكته ويسأله بناء حصن يتحصّن فيه من الملوك المخالفين له، فأجيب إلى ذلك، وكان السفير له نذير الحزمي، فبدأت أنا بقراءة الكتاب عليه وتسليم ما أهدي إليه والأشراف من الفقهاء والمعلّمين، وكان الرسول من جهة السلطان سوسن الرّسّي مولى نذير الحزمي، قال:
فرحلنا من مدينة السلام لإحدى عشرة ليلة خلت من صفر سنة 309، ثم ذكر ما مرّ له في الطريق إلى خوارزم ثم منها إلى بلاد الصقالبة ما يطول شرحه، ثم قال:
فلما كنّا من ملك الصقالبة وهو الذي قصدنا له على مسيرة يوم وليلة وجّه لاستقبالنا الملوك الأربعة الذين تحت يديه وإخوته وأولاده، فاستقبلونا ومعهم الخبز واللحم والجاورس، وساروا معنا، فلما صرنا منه على فرسخين تلقّانا هو بنفسه فلما رآنا نزل فخرّ ساجدا شكرا لله، وكان في كمّه دراهم فنثرها علينا ونصب لنا قبابا فنزلناها، وكان وصولنا إليه يوم الأحد لاثنتي عشرة ليلة خلت من المحرم سنة 310، وكانت المسافة من الجرجانية، وهي مدينة خوارزم، سبعين يوما، فأقمنا إلى يوم الأربعاء في القباب التي ضربت لنا حتى اجتمع ملوك أرضه وخواصه ليسمعوا قراءة الكتاب، فلما كان يوم الخميس نشرنا المطرّدين الذين كانوا معنا وأسرجنا الدّابّة بالسرج الموجّه إليه وألبسناه السواد وعممناه وأخرجت كتاب الخليفة فقرأته وهو قائم على قدميه ثم قرأت كتاب الوزير حامد بن العباس وهو قائم أيضا، وكان بدينا، فنثر أصحابه علينا الدّراهم، وأخرجنا الهدايا وعرضناها عليه ثم خلعنا على امرأته وكانت جالسة إلى جانبه، وهذه سنتهم ودأبهم، ثم وجّه إلينا فحضرنا قبته وعنده الملوك عن يمينه وأمرنا أن نجلس عن يساره وأولاده جلوس بين يديه وهو وحده على سرير مغشّى بالديباج الرومي، فدعا بالمائدة فقدّمت إليه وعليها لحم مشوي، فابتدأ الملك وأخذ سكينا وقطع لقمة فأكلها وثانية وثالثة ثم قطع قطعة فدفعها إلى سوسن الرسول فلما تناولها جاءته مائدة صغيرة فجعلت بين يديه، وكذلك رسمهم لا يمدّ أحد يده إلى أكل حتى يناوله الملك فإذا تناولها جاءته مائدة ثم قطع قطعة وناولها الملك الذي عن يمينه فجاءته مائدة، ثم ناول الملك الثاني فجاءته مائدة وكذلك حتى قدّم إلى كل واحد من الذين بين يديه مائدة، وأكل كل واحد منا من مائدة لا يشاركه فيها أحد ولا يتناول من مائدة غيره شيئا، فإذا فرغ من الأكل حمل كلّ واحد منا ما بقي على مائدته إلى منزله، فلما فرغنا دعا بشراب العسل وهم يسمونه السجو فشرب وشربنا. وقد كان يخطب له قبل قدومنا: اللهم أصلح الملك بلطوار ملك بلغار، فقلت له: إن الله هو الملك ولا يجوز أن يخطب بهذا لأحد سيما على المنابر، وهذا مولاك أمير المؤمنين قد وصى لنفسه أن يقال على منابره في الشرق والغرب: اللهم أصلح عبدك وخليفتك جعفرا الإمام
المقتدر بالله أمير المؤمنين، فقال: كيف يجوز أن يقال؟ فقلت: يذكر اسمك واسم أبيك، فقال: إنّ أبي كان كافرا وأنا أيضا ما أحبّ أن يذكر اسمي إذ كان الذي سمّاني به كافرا، ولكن ما اسم مولاي أمير المؤمنين؟ فقلت: جعفر، قال: فيجوز أن أتسمّى باسمه؟ قلت: نعم، فقال: قد جعلت اسمي جعفرا واسم أبي عبد الله، وتقدم إلى الخطيب بذلك، فكان يخطب: اللهم أصلح عبدك جعفر بن عبد الله أمير بلغار مولى أمير المؤمنين، قال: ورأيت في بلده من العجائب ما لا أحصيها كثرة، من ذلك أن أول ليلة بتناها في بلده رأيت قبل مغيب الشمس بساعة أفق السماء وقد احمرّ احمرارا شديدا وسمعت في الجوّ أصواتا عالية وهمهمة، فرفعت رأسي فإذا غيم أحمر مثل النار قريب منّي، فإذا تلك الهمهمة والأصوات منه وإذا فيه أمثال الناس والدوابّ وإذا في أيدي الأشباح التي فيه قسيّ ورماح وسيوف، وأتبيّنها وأتخيّلها وإذا قطعة أخرى مثلها أرى فيها رجالا أيضا وسلاحا ودوابّ، فأقبلت هذه القطعة على هذه كما تحمل الكتيبة على الكتيبة، ففزعنا من هذه وأقبلنا على التضرّع والدعاء وأهل البلد يضحكون منا ويتعجبون من فعلنا، قال: وكنا ننظر إلى القطعة تحمل على القطعة فتختلطان جميعا ساعة ثم تفترقان، فما زال الأمر كذلك إلى قطعة من الليل ثم غابتا، فسألنا الملك عن ذلك فزعم أن أجداده كانوا يقولون هؤلاء من مؤمني الجنّ وكفّارهم يقتتلون كل عشية، وأنهم ما عدموا هذا منذ كانوا في كل ليلة. قال: ودخلت أنا وخيّاط كان للملك من أهل بغداد قبّتي لنتحدّث، فتحدّثنا بمقدار ما يقر الإنسان نصف ساعة ونحن ننتظر أذان العشاء، فإذا بالأذان فخرجنا من القبّة وقد طلع الفجر، فقلت للمؤذّن: أي شيء أذّنت؟ قال: الفجر، قلت: فعشاء الأخيرة؟ قال: نصلّيها مع المغرب، قلت: فالليل؟
قال: كما ترى وقد كان أقصر من هذا وقد أخذ الآن في الطول، وذكر أنه منذ شهر ما نام الليل خوفا من أن تفوته صلاة الصبح، وذلك أن الإنسان يجعل القدر على النار وقت المغرب ثم يصلّي الغداة وما آن لها أن تنضج، قال: ورأيت النهار عندهم طويلا جدّا، وإذا أنه يطول عندهم مدّة من السنة ويقصر الليل، ثم يطول الليل ويقصر النهار، فلما كانت الليلة الثانية جلست فلم أر فيها من الكواكب إلّا عددا يسيرا ظننت أنها فوق الخمسة عشر كوكبا متفرّقة، وإذا الشّفق الأحمر الذي قبل المغرب لا يغيب بتّة، وإذا الليل قليل الظلمة يعرف الرجل الرجل فيه من أكثر من غلوة سهم، قال: والقمر إنما يطلع في أرجاء السماء ساعة ثم يطلع الفجر فيغيب القمر، قال: وحدّثني الملك أن وراء بلده بمسيرة ثلاثة أشهر قوما يقال لهم ويسو، الليل عندهم أقلّ من ساعة، قال: ورأيت البلد عند طلوع الشمس يحمر كلّ شيء فيه من الأرض والجبال، وكل شيء ينظر الإنسان إليه حين تطلع الشمس كأنها غمامة كبرى فلا تزال الحمرة كذلك حتى تتكبّد السماء. وعرّفني أهل البلد أنه إذا كان الشتاء عاد الليل في طول النهار وعاد النهار في قصر الليل، حتى إنّ الرجل منا ليخرج إلى نهر يقال له إتل بيننا وبينه أقل من مسافة فرسخ وقت الفجر فلا يبلغه إلى العتمة إلى وقت طلوع الكواكب كلّها حتى تطبق السماء، ورأيتهم يتبرّكون بعواء الكلب جدّا ويقولون: تأتي عليهم سنة خصب وبركة وسلامة.
ورأيت الحيّات عندهم كثيرة حتى إنّ الغصن من الشجر ليلتفّ عليه عشر منها وأكثر، ولا يقتلونها ولا
تؤذيهم، ولهم تفاح أخضر شديد الحموضة جدّا، تأكله الجواري فيسمّن، وليس في بلدهم اكثر من شجر البندق، ورأيت منه غياضا تكون أربعين فرسخا في مثلها، قال: ورأيت لهم شجرا لا أدري ما هو، مفرط الطول وساقه أجرد من الورق ورؤوسه كرءوس النخل، له خوص دقاق إلّا أنه مجتمع، يعمدون إلى موضع من ساق هذه الشجرة يعرفونه فيثقبونه ويجعلون تحته إناء يجري إليه من ذلك الثّقب ماء أطيب من العسل، وإن أكثر الإنسان من شربه أسكره كما تسكر الخمر، وأكثر أكلهم الجاورس ولحم الخيل على أن الحنطة والشعير كثير في بلادهم، وكل من زرع شيئا أخذه لنفسه ليس للملك فيه حق غير أنهم يؤدّون إليه من كل بيت جلد ثور، وإذا أمر سريّة على بعض البلدان بالغارة كان له معهم حصّة. وليس عندهم شيء من الأدهان غير دهن السمك، فإنهم يقيمونه مقام الزيت والشيرج، فهم كانوا لذلك زفرين، وكلّهم يلبسون القلانس، وإذا ركب الملك ركب وحده بغير غلام ولا أحد معه، فإذا اجتاز في السوق لم يبق أحد إلّا قام وأخذ قلنسوته عن رأسه وجعلها تحت إبطه، فإذا جاوزهم ردوا قلانسهم فوق رؤوسهم، وكذلك كل من يدخل على الملك من صغير وكبير حتى أولاده وإخوته ساعة يقع نظرهم عليه يأخذون قلانسهم فيجعلونها تحت آباطهم ثم يومئون إليه برؤوسهم ويجلسون ثم يقومون حتى يأمرهم بالجلوس. وكلّ من جلس بين يديه فإنما يجلس باركا ولا يخرج قلنسوته ولا يظهرها حتى يخرج من بين يديه فيلبسها عند ذلك. والصواعق في بلادهم كثيرة جدا، وإذا وقعت الصاعقة في دار أحدهم لم يقربوه ويتركونه حتى يتلفه الزمان ويقولون: هذا موضع مغضوب عليه، وإذا رأوا رجلا له حركة ومعرفة بالأشياء قالوا: هذا حقه أن يخدم ربنا، فأخذوه وجعلوا في عنقه حبلا وعلّقوه في شجرة حتى يتقطع. وإذا كانوا يسيرون في طريق وأراد أحدهم البول فبال وعليه سلاحه انتهبوه وأخذوا سلاحه وجميع ما معه، ومن حطّ عنه سلاحه وجعله ناحية لم يتعرضوا له، وهذه سنتهم، وينزل الرجال والنساء النهر فيغتسلون جميعا عراة لا يستتر بعضهم من بعض ولا يزنون بوجه ولا سبب، ومن زنى منهم كائنا من كان ضربوا له أربع سكك وشدّوا يديه ورجليه إليها وقطّعوا بالفأس من رقبته إلى فخذه، وكذلك يفعلون بالمرأة، ثم يعلّق كلّ قطعة منه ومنها على شجرة، قال: ولقد اجتهدت أن تستتر النساء من الرجال في السباحة فما استوى لي ذلك، ويقتلون السارق كما يقتلون الزاني، ولهم أخبار اقتصرنا منها على هذا.
