صدق
1 صَدَقَ, (
S,
M,
O,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـُ (
M,
TA,)
inf. n. صِدْقٌ (
S, *
M,
O, *
Msb,
K,
TA) and صَدْقٌ, (
M,
K,) the former of which is the more chaste, (
TA,) or the latter is an
inf. n. and the former is a simple
subst., (
K,) and تَصْدَاقٌ (
M) and مَصْدُوقَةٌ, (
O,
K,
TA,) which is one of the [few]
inf. ns. of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ, (
O,
TA,) [or a
fem. pass. part. n. used as an
inf. n. like as is said of its contr.
مَكْذُوبَةٌ,] he spoke, said, uttered, or told, truth, or truly, or veraciously;
contr. of كَذَبَ: (
Msb: [and in like manner it is said in the
S and
M and O and
K that صِدْقٌ is the
contr. of كَذِبٌ:])
Er-Rághib says that صِدْقٌ and كَذِبٌ are primarily in what is said, whether relating to the past or to the future, and [in the latter case] whether it be a promise or other than a promise; and only in what is said in the way of information: but sometimes they are in other modes of speech, such as asking a question, and commanding, and supplicating; as when one says, “Is Zeyd in the house? ” for this implies information of his being ignorant of the state of Zeyd; and when one says, “ Make me to share with thee, or to be equal with thee,” for this implies his requiring to be made to share with the other, or to be made equal with him; and when one says, “Do not thou hurt me,” for this implies that the other is hurting him: صِدْقٌ, he says, is [by implication] the agreeing of what is said with what is conceived in the mind and with the thing told of, together; otherwise it is not complete صِدْق, but may be described either as صِدْق or sometimes as صِدْق and sometimes as كَذِب according to two different points of view; as when one says without believing it, “Mohammad is the Apostle of God,” for this may be termed صِدْق because what is told is such, and it may be termed كَذِب because it is at variance with what the speaker conceives in his mind. (
TA.) One says, صَدَقَ فِى الحَدِيثِ [He spoke truth in the information, or narration]. (
S,
O,
K.) And صَدَقَهُ i. e. He told him, or informed him, with truth, or veracity, (
AHeyth, *
M,
Msb, *) فِى القَوْلِ [in the saying]; for it is
trans. as well as
intrans. (
Msb.) And صَدَقَهُ الحَدِيثَ (
S,
O,
K, in the
CK [erroneously] صَدَّقَ فُلانًا الحَدِيثَ) He told him with truth, or veracity, the information, or narration; for it is sometimes doubly
trans. (
TA.) And صَدَقَنِى سِنَّ بَكْرِهِ [He hath told me truly the age, or as to the age, of his youthful camel; or صَدَقَنِى سِنُّ بَكْرِهِ the age of his youthful camel has spoken truly to me]: (
S,
O,
K:) a
prov., (
S,
O,)
expl. in art. بكر [
q. v.]. (
K.) And فُلَانٌ لَا يَصْدُقُ أَثَرُهُ and أَثَرَهُ, meaning Such a one, when asked, will not tell truly whence he comes. (
M.) And صَدَقَتْ يَمِينُهُ His oath was, or proved, true. (
Msb in art. بت.) صَدَقْتُ اللّٰهَ حَدِيثًا إِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ كَذَا is an oath of the Arabs, meaning لَا صَدَقْتُ الخ [May I not utter truly to God a saying, i. e. may I not speak truth to God, if I do not such a thing]. (
AHeyth,
O,
K.) One says also, صَدَقَهُ النَّصِيحَةَ, and الإِخَآءَ, He rendered to him truly, or sincerely, good advice, and brotherly affection. (
M.) And صَدَ قُوهُمُ القِتَالَ (
S,
M,
K, *
TA) [They gave them battle earnestly, not with a false show of bravery; as is implied in the
S, and
M, and
K; i. e.] they advanced against them boldly in fight: (
M,
TA:) and in like manner, صَدَقُوا فِى القِتَالِ they advanced boldly in fight: or,
accord. to
Er-Rághib, the former means they gave them battle so as to fulfil their duty: and hence, in the
Kur [xxxiii. 23], رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللّٰهَ عَلَيْهِ, Men who fulfilled the covenant that they had made with God. (
TA.) And صَدَقَ اللِّقَآءَ,
inf. n. صِدْقٌ, He was firm, or steady, in encounter, or conflict. (
M,
TA.) and صَدَقَ ظَنِّى My opinion was, or proved, true, or correct, like as one says [in the contrary case], كَذَبَ: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) whence, in the
Kur [xxxiv. 19], وَلَقَدْ صَدَقَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ ظَنَّهُ, meaning فِى ظَنِّهِ [i. e. And assuredly Iblees was, or proved to be, correct in his opinion that he had formed against them]: but some read ↓ صَدَّقَ, meaning, as
Fr says, حَقَّقَ [i. e. Iblees proved, or found, to be true, his opinion &c.]. (
TA.) and صَدَقَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ His soul [told him truth; meaning,] diverted him, or hindered him, or held him back, from an undertaking, causing him to imagine himself unable to prosecute it. (
TA in art. كذب.) And صَدَقَ الصُّبْحُ [The dawn shone clearly]. (
S in art. سقط.) [And one says of a word or the like, يَصْدُقُ عَلَى كَذَا, meaning It applies correctly to such a thing.]
b2: صَدَقَ الوَحْشِىُّ: see 2, near the end.
2 صدّقهُ, (
S,
M,
O, &c.,)
inf. n. تَصْدِيقٌ,
contr. of كَذَّبَهُ. (
O, *
K.) [This explanation implies several meanings here following.] He attributed, or ascribed, to him truth, veracity, or the speaking truth. (
Msb.) And He said to him, “Thou hast spoken truth. ” (
Msb.) He accepted, or admitted, [or assented to, or believed,] what he said: (
M:) you say, صدّقهُ فِى حَدِيثِهِ [He accepted, &c., what he said in his information, or narration]: (
S:) and you say صدّق بِلِسَانِهِ [He assented to the truth of what was said with his tongue]; as well as بِقَلْبِهِ [with his heart, or mind]. (
T in art. اَمن.) He held him to be a speaker of truth. (
MA.) [He found him to be a speaker of truth. He, or it, proved him to be a speaker of truth; verified him; or confirmed the truth of what he said: see an
ex. in a verse cited
voce بَيْنٌ.] He found it (an opinion) to be true, or veritable. (
Ksh and
Bd and
Jel, in xxxiv. 19.) He verified it; confirmed its truth; or proved it to be true, or veritable; i. e. an opinion [&c.];
syn. حَقَّقَهُ: (
Ksh and
Bd, ibid.:) one says, صَدَّقَ الخَبَرَ الخُبْرُ [The trial, proof, or test, verified the information]. (
S in art. خبر.) See 1, near the end. In the saying in the
Kur [xxxix. 34], وَالَّذِى جَآءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ, [which seems to be best rendered But he who hath brought the truth and he who hath accepted it as the truth, (see كَذَّبَ بِالأَمْرِ,)] 'Alee the son of Aboo-
Tálib is related to have said that by الذى جآء بالصدق is meant Mohammad; and by الذى صدّق به, Aboo-Bekr: or, as some say, Gabriel and Mohammad [are meant by the former and the latter respectively]: or by the former, Mohammad; and by the latter, [every one of] the believers: (
M:)
accord. to
Er-Rághib, by وصدّق به is meant and hath found, or proved, to be true (حَقَّقَ) that which he hath brought by word, by that which he hath aimed at (بِمَا تَحَرَّاهُ) by deed. (
TA.)
b2: صدّق is also said to signify He said, “This thing is the truth; ” like حَقَّقَ. (
TA in art. حق.)
b3: And this verb also denotes المُبَالَغَةُ فِى الصِّدْقِ: thus in the saying, صَدَّقَتْ فِيهِمْ ظُنُونِى
[My opinions respecting them were, or proved to be, very true or correct]. (
Ksh, in xxxiv. 19.)
b4: صدّق الوَحْشِىُّ, (
O,
K,
TA,) or ↓ صَدَقَ, (so in a copy of the
M,) (
tropical:) The wild animal ran without looking aside, when charged upon, or attacked: (
M,
O,
K,
TA:) mentioned by
IDrd. (
O,
TA.)
A2: صَدَّقَهُمْ He exacted from them the poor-rate. (
TA. [See صَدَقَةٌ.])
b2: See also 5.
3 صَادَقْتُهُ, (
M,)
inf. n. مُصَادَقَةٌ (
S,
M,
O,
K) and صِدَاقٌ, (
M,
O,
K,) the latter like كِتَابٌ, (
TA, [in the
CK erroneously written صَداق,]) I acted, or associated, with him as a friend, or as a true, or sincere, friend. (
S, *
M,
O, *
K. *) [See also 6.]
4 اصدق المَرْأَةَ He named for the woman a صَدَاق [or dowry]: (
S,
M, *
O,
K:) or he gave her her صَدَاق: (
M, *
Msb:) or he appointed her, or assigned her, a صَدَاق, on taking her as his wife: (
TA:) and he married her, or took her as his wife, on the condition of his giving her a صَدَاق. (
Msb.) And sometimes this verb is doubly
trans.; whence, in a
trad., مَا ذَا تُصْدِقُهَا فَقَالَ إِزَارِى [It was said, “What is it that thou meanest for her, or givest her, as her dowry? ” and he said, “My waist-wrapper ”]. (
Mgh.) 5 تصدّق عَلَيْهِ He gave him (i. e. the poor,
Mgh,
Msb) what is termed صَدَقَة, (
M,
Mgh,
Msb,) meaning [an alms, or] what is given for the sake of God, (
M,) or what is given with the desire of obtaining a recompense from God: (
M, *
Mgh:) and عليه ↓ صَدَّقَ signifies the same; (
M,
TA;) and in this sense صدّق is [said by some to be] used in the
Kur lxxv. 31. (
TA.) Hence, in the
Kur [xii. 88], وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَا: (
TA:) or this means (assumed
tropical:) And do thou confer a favour upon us by giving that which is [not like the mean merchandise that we have brought, but of middling quality,] between good and bad. (
M.) One says, تَصَدَّقْتُ بِكَذَا, meaning I gave such a thing as a صَدَقَة. (
Msb.) See an
ex. voce شِقٌّ.
The saying, in a
trad., إِنَّ اللّٰهَ تَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِثُلُثِ
أَمْوَالِكُمْ, meaning (
tropical:) [Verily God] hath conferred a favour [upon you by giving you a third of your possessions to bequeath to whom ye will], if correct, is
tropical. (
Mgh.)
b2: It is said by Ibn-Es-Seed, on the authority of
Az and
IJ, and mentioned by
IAmb, that تصدّق signifies also He asked, or begged, for what is termed صَدَقَة [or alms]: but
Fr and
As and others disallow the beggar's being called مُتَصَدِّق: (
Az,
TA:)
IKt says that the verb is improperly used in this sense by the vulgar: (
Msb:) [and
accord. to
J and
Sgh,] one says, مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ يَسْأَلُ, and one should not say يَتَصَدَّقُ. (
S, O.) 6 تَصَادُقٌ signifies The acting, or associating, as friends, or as true, or sincere, friends, one with another. (
K. [See also 3.]) And
I. q. صِدْقٌ: (
TA:) [or rather mutual صِدْق;
contr. of تَكَاذُبٌ:] one says, تَصَادَقَا فِى الحَدِيثِ and فِى المَوَدَّةِ (
S,
O,
TA) They were true, or sincere, each to the other, in information, or narration, and in love, or affection;
contr. of تَكَاذَبَا. (
O,
TA.) صَدْقٌ is an
inf. n. of صَدَقَ [
q. v.]: (
M,
K:)
b2: and is used as an
epithet, applied to a man &c.: (
S,
M,
O,
K,
TA:) [and] ↓ صِدْقٌ [also, if not a mistranscription for صَدْقٌ,] is an
inf. n. used as an
epithet, applied to a man and to a woman: (so in a copy of the
M and in the
TA:) [it is said that] the former signifies Hard, (
S,
M,
O,
Msb,) applied to a spear, (
S,
M,
O,) and to other things: (
M:) or even, or straight; (
S, O;) or it signifies thus also, applied to a spear, and to a sword: (
M:) or hard and even or straight, applied to a spear, (
K,
TA,) and to a man, (
K,) or to the latter as meaning hard: or, as
IB says, on the authority of
IDrst, it is not from hardness, but means combining those qualities that are commended; and it is applied to a spear as meaning long and pliant and hard, and the like; and to a man, and to a woman likewise [without ة, but see what follows], as meaning true in hardness and strength and goodness; for,
IDrst says, if it meant hard, one would say حَجَرٌ صَدْقٌ and حَدِيدٌ صَدْقٌ, which one does not: (
TA:) and, applied to anything, (
O,
K,
TA,) it means complete, or perfect, (
Kh,
O,
K,
TA,) thus applied to a man, (
TA,) such as is commended; (O;)
fem. with ة, (
O,
K,
TA,) applied to a woman: (
O:) the
pl. is صُدْقٌ, applied to a company of men, (
S,
O,
K,) and صُدُقٌ (
K) and صَدْقُونَ, so applied, and صَدْقَاتٌ applied to women: (
O,
K:) and Ru-beh says, describing asses, مَقْذُوذَةُ الآذَانِ صَدْقَاتُ الحَدَقْ meaning [Rounded, as though pared, in the ears,] penetrating in the eyes; (
O,
TA;) which is [said to be]
tropical. (
TA.) صَدْقٌ signifies also Firm, or steady, in encounter, or conflict: (
M:) or one says صَدْقُ اللِّقَآءِ, applying this
epithet to a man, (
S,
O,
K,
TA,) meaning thus: (
TA:) and صَدْقُ النَّظَرِ [firm, or steady, in look]. (
S,
O,
K,
TA. [Said in the
TA to be
tropical.]) صِدْقٌ is an
inf. n. of صَدَقَ [
q. v.]: (
M,
K, &c.:) or a simple
subst., (
K,) signifying [Truth; veracity; or] agreement of what is said with what is conceived in the mind and with the thing told of, together; otherwise it is not complete صِدْق, as
expl. above in the first paragraph of this art. (
Er-Rághib,
TA.)
b2: It is also
syn. with شِدَّةٌ [meaning Hardness; firmness, compactness, or soundness; strength, power, or force; vigour, robustness, sturdiness, or hardiness; and courage, bravery, or firmness of heart]: (
K,
TA: [in the latter of which it is said to be
tropical; but this is evidently not the case
accord. to the
O, in which it is said that it radically denotes قُوَّةٌ (i. e. strength, force, &c.,) in a saying &c.: in the
K it is implied by the context that it is
syn. with شِدَّة when used as the complement of a prefixed
n. in instances mentioned in what here follows: but
Sgh says, more correctly,]) a noun signifying anything to which goodness is attributed is prefixed to صِدْق, governing it in the
gen. case; so that one says (O) رَجُلُ صِدْقٍ (
Sb,
M,
O,
K) [A man of good nature or disposition or character &c.],
contr. of رَجُلُ سَوْءٍ; (
Sb,
M;) and صَدِيقُ صِدْقٍ [a friend of good nature &c.]; (
O,
K;) and likewise اِمْرَأَةُ صِدْقٍ [a woman of good nature &c.]; (
K;) and in like manner also حِمَارُ صِدْقٍ
[an ass of a good kind]; (
Sb,
M,
K;) and ثَوْبُ صِدْقٍ [a garment, or piece of cloth, of good quality]. (
Sb,
M.) The saying in the
Kur [x. 93], (
O,) وَلَقَدْ بَوَّأْنَا بَنِى اِسْرَائِيلَ مُبَوَّأَ صِدْقٍ meansAnd verily we assigned to the Children of Israel a good place of abode. (
O,
K.)

Mgh,

M,
K,) or to obtain a recompense from God; (
M, *
Mgh,
K; *) a portion which a man gives forth from his property by way of propitiation, [to obtain the favour of God,] like زَكَاةٌ, except that the former is primarily applied to such as as is supererogatory, and the latter to such as is obligatory: but it is said to be applied to such as is obligatory [i. e. to the زَكَاة,
q. v., meaning the poor-rate, which is the portion, or amount, of property, that is given therefrom, as the due of God, by its possessor, to the poor, according to a fixed rate,] when the person who does so aims at conformity with the truth in his deed: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) [in this latter sense, which is indicated in the
S and O &c., and more plainly in the
M, it is very frequently used:] and thus it is used in the
Kur ix. 104, and in like manner its
pl. in ix. 60: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) the
pl. is صَدَقَاتٌ. (
S,
M,
O,
Msb.) It is said in a
trad., لَا صَدَقَةَ فِى الإِبِلِ الجَارَّةِ [There is no poorrate in the case of working camels], because they are the riding-camels of the people; for the poorrate is in the case of pasturing camels, exclusively of the working. (

TA,) it signifies الأَمِينُ [The trusted, trusted in, or confided in, &c.]. (
O,
K. [But it is added in the O that
Sh cites a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abi- s-Salt in which الأَمِينُ is applied as an
epithet to the star called الصَيدق.])
b3: And, (
K,)
accord. to some, as
AA says, (
O,) it signifies The king. (

S and
Msb: see art. صندق.
أَصْدَقُ [More, and most, true or veracious]. One says أَصْدَقُ مِنْ قَطَاةٍ [More veracious than a katáh]; because the bird thus called cries قَطَا قَطَا; [thus telling where it is to be found;] its name being imitative of its cry: (
Meyd, and
TA in art. قطو:) hence it is called by the Arabs ↓ الصَّدُوقُ: the saying is a
prov. (
Meyd.) ذُو مَصْدَقٍ, (
JK,
S,
M,
O,) with fet-h, (
S,) or ↓ ذُو مِصْدَقٍ like مِنْبَر, (
K,) applied to a man, (
JK,
M,) [i. e.] applied to a courageous man, (
S,
O,
K,) means الحَمْلَةِ ↓ صَادِقُ [Earnest, not making a false show of bravery, in the charge, or assault]; (
JK,
S,
M,
O,
K;) or courageous [in the charge, or assault]: (
JK:) مَصَادِقُ, occurring in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, may be for ذَوُو مَصَادِقَ; or it may be an
anomalous pl. of صِدْقٌ [used as an
epithet], like
مَلَامِــحُ and مَشَابِهُ [pls. of لَمْحَةٌ and شَبَهٌ]. (
M.) Also, (
S,
M,
O,
K,) applied to a horse, (
M,) [i. e.] applied to a fleet and excellent horse, (
S,
O,) in like manner, (
M,) meaning الجَرْىِ ↓ صَادِقُ [Earnest in running]; (
S,
O,
K;) as though fulfilling his promise of running: (
S, O: [said in the
TA to be
tropical:]) Khufáf Ibn-Nudbeh says, إِذَا مَا اسْتَحَمَّتْ أَرْضُهُ مِنْ سَمَائِهِ جَرَى وَهْوَ مَوْدُوعٌ وَوَاعِدُ مَصْدَقِ meaning When his hoofs are wetted with the sweat of his upper parts, he runs, being left to himself, not beaten nor chidden, and a fulfiller of his promise to do his utmost. (
S, O.) And sometimes it is applied to an opinion, in like manner [as meaning True, or sincere]. (
M.)
b2: مَصْدَقٌ also signifies Hardness. (
Th,
M.)
b3: Also
i. q. حَدٌّ [as meaning The edge of a sword]: (
TA:) [in a copy of the
M written جِدّ, which I think an evident mistake; for it is added,] and it is said to have this meaning in a verse of Dureyd Ibn-Es- Simmeh [relating to a sword]. (
M,
TA.) مِصْدَق: see the next preceding paragraph.
مُصَدَّقٌ A man from whom the poor-rate (صَدَقَة) of his cattle is exacted. (

S,
M,
O,
Msb,
K,
TA,) of the صَدَقَات, (
S,
O,
Msb,
K,
TA,) i. e. (
TA) of the حُقُوق [or dues, meaning poor-rates], (
M,
TA,) of the cattle, (
Msb,) or of the sheep or goats, (
S,
M,
O,
TA,) and of the camels, (
M,
O,
TA,) for the persons to whom pertain the shares [thereof]. (
TA.) مُصَّدِّقٌ: see مُتَصَدِّقٌ.
مِصْدَاقٌ A thing that confirms, or proves, the truth of a thing: (
S,
K:) [and] a verbal evidence of the truth, or veracity, of a man. (
Har p. 106.) One says, هٰذَا مِصْدَاقُ هٰذَا This is what confirms, or proves, the truth of this. (
S.) And شَىْءٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِصْدَاقٌ [A thing having nothing to verify it]. (
IAar,
TA in art. برق.) مَصْدُوقَةٌ [see 1, near the beginning]. One says لَيْسَ لِحَمْلَتِهِ مَصْدُوقَةٌ [meaning There is no earnestness attributable to his charge, or assault]; like as one says [in the
contr. case], ليس لَهَا مَكْذُوبَةٌ. (
M.) مُتَصَدِّقٌ One who gives what is termed صَدَقَة [meaning alms]: (
S,
O,
Msb,
K:)
accord. to
Kh, it means thus, and also one who asks [alms]; (
O,
TA;) and
IAmb says the like; but
Az says that the skilful of the grammarians disallow this; and thus say
Fr and
As and others: (
TA:) [
J, also, and
Sgh and
Fei, say that] it has only the former meaning: (
S,
O,
Msb:) it is also pronounced ↓ مُصَّدِّقٌ, by substitution [of ص for ت] and incorporation [of one ص into the other]; (
S, *
O, *
Msb,
K; *) and this pronunciation of the
pl. both
masc. and
fem. occurs in the
Kur lvii. 17, (
S,
O,
K,) where Ibn-Ketheer and Aboo-Bekr, differing from others, read without teshdeed to the ص. (
O.)
