A2: [The inf. n.] شَوَفَانٌ as syn. with تَشَوُّفٌ [but in what sense is not said] is vulgar. (TA.) b2: So too is [the inf. n.] شَوْفٌ as meaning The act of seeing [and of looking]. (TA.)

(Msb.) b2: Hence, تشوّف لِكَذَا He (a man) raised, or stretched and raised, his eyes, or sight, towards such a thing: and hence the verb became used to denote hope, or expectation, and desire, or seeking. (Msb.) And تشوّف مِنَ السَّطْحِ He stretched himself up, and looked, and overlooked, or looked down, from the house-top. (K.)

(TA.) Fr says, I heard one of the Arabs say, عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ كَأَنَّهُ الشَّفَقُ [Upon him is, or was, a garment as though it were the شَفَق]: and it was red.

شَفِيقٌ is syn. with ↓ مُشْفِقٌ as part. n. of 4 [signifying Fearing, or fearful, or cautious; and also affectionate, kind, or compassionate, &c.]; (S, O, Msb, * K;) as also ↓ شَفِقٌ (Msb) [and in an intensive sense ↓ شَفُوقٌ; and , from what follows, it appears that شَفِيقٌ also is used as an intensive epithet]: or ↓ شَفِقٌ signifies fearing; and its pl. is شَفِقُونَ: (M, TA:) and شَفِيقٌ, one giving faithful or sincere or honest advice, eager, or striving, to rectify, or amend, the state of him to whom that advice is given.

(TA.) And it is said in the Kur [xxi. 50], وَهُمْ مِنَ

↓ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُونَ [meaning And who are fearful of the time of the resurrection]; the signification of fear being most apparent when مُشْفِقٌ is thus trans. by means of مِنْ. (TA.) See also an instance of ↓ مُشْفِقٌ [in a similar sense] in the first paragraph of this art. مُشْفَقٌ: see the last paragraph.
