عل: علل المريض: ألهاه، سلاه، صرفه عن الشعور بالألم وجعله ينساه. ففي حيان (ص13 ق): وتابع في تعليل الخصيّ والطافه حتى أفاق من علته.
علل: خدع، استغوى. (بوشر).
علل نفسه ب: شغل نفسه وألهاها بالأماني (بوشر).
علل نفسه بالمحال: خادع نفسه ومناها الأماني الباطلة. (بوشر). وفي تاريخ البربر (1: 605): عللهم بالمواعيد الكاذبة أي خادعهم بالمواعيد الكاذبة.
وفيه (2: 217): علله بالقعُود عن نصره، أي خادع ابن الأحمر بأنه لا يساعد أبو تاشفين وفي المقري (1: 841).
علل بالمسك قلبي رشا أحور.
وقد ترجمه السيد فليشر إلى الألمانية بما معناه ظبي أحور يطيب قلبي بالمسك.
علل الحديث: قال إنه غير صحيح، ضد صحَّح. (المقري 1: 711).
علل: صفى، روَّق. (زيشر 11، 515).
علل: انظر عن المعنى الأخير في معجم لين (الماوردي ص44، 311، 312، أبو الوليد ص618).
أعله: أمرضه، ففي لطائف الثعالبي (ص24): عاده في علة اعلته.
نعلل. تعلل بالباطل: تلهى بالباطل (بوشر).
تعلل بعسى ولعل: خادع نفسه وتمنى الأماني الكاذبة. (بوشر).
تعلل: اعتذر، قدم المعاذير. (لين، عبد الواحد ص174).
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).

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).

(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.

(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.)

(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.

أَتَقَدَّمَ [May-be I shall precede]: (Ham p. 517:) the Koofees allow the mansoob aor.

(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.

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.]

(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.) b3: And A remaining portion of milk (S, O, K, TA) in the udder: (TA:) and (assumed tropical:) of other things: [ for instance,] (tropical:) of the course [of a beast]: (K:) (tropical:) of the running of a horse; (S, O, TA;) the former portion whereof is termed بُدَاهَةٌ: (TA:) and (assumed tropical:) of anything: (S, K:) as (tropical:) of the flesh of a sheep or goat: and (tropical:) of the strength of an old man.

إِرْمِينِيَةُ:
بكسر أوله ويفتح، وسكون ثانيه، وكسر الميم، وياء ساكنة، وكسر النون، وياء
خفيفة مفتوحة: اسم لصقع عظيم واسع في جهة الشمال، والنسبة إليها أرمنيّ على غير قياس، بفتح الهمزة وكسر الميم، وينشد بعضهم:
ولو شهدت أمّ القديد طعاننا، ... بمرعش، خيل الأرمنيّ أرنّت
وحكى إسماعيل بن حمّاد فتحهما معا، قال أبو عليّ:
أرمينية إذا أجرينا عليها حكم العربي كان القياس في همزتها أن تكون زائدة، وحكمها أن تكسر لتكون مثل إجفيل وإخريط وإطريح ونحو ذلك، ثم ألحقت ياء النسبة، ثم ألحق بعدها تاء التأنيث، وكان القياس في النسبة إليها أرمينيّ، إلا أنها لما وافق ما بعد الراء منها ما بعد الحاء في حنيفة حذفت الياء كما حذفت من حنيفة في النسب وأجريت ياء النسبة مجرى تاء التأنيث في حنيفة كما أجرينا مجراها في روميّ وروم، وسنديّ وسند، أو يكون مثل بدويّ ونحوه مما غيّر في النسب، قال أهل السّير:
سمّيت أرمينية بأرمينا بن لنطا بن أومر بن يافث ابن نوح، عليه السلام، وكان أول من نزلها وسكنها، وقيل: هما أرمينيتان الكبرى والصّغرى، وحدّهما من برذعة إلى باب الأبواب، ومن الجهة الأخرى إلى بلاد الروم وجبل القبق وصاحب السرير، وقيل: إرمينية الكبرى خلاط ونواحيها وإرمينية الصغرى تفليس ونواحيها، وقيل: هي ثلاث أرمينيات، وقيل:
أربع، فالأولى: بيلقان وقبلة وشروان وما انضمّ إليها عدّ منها، والثانية: جرزان وصغدبيل وباب فيروز قباذ واللّكز، والثالثة: البسفرجان ودبيل وسراج طير وبغروند والنّشوى، والرابعة وبها قبر صفوان بن المعطّل صاحب رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، وهو قرب حصن زياد عليه شجرة نابتة لا يعرف أحد من الناس ما هي، ولها حمل يشبه اللوز يؤكل بقشره وهو طيّب جدّا، فمن الرابعة: شمشاط وقاليقلا وأرجيش وباجنيس، وكانت كور أرّان والسيسجان ودبيل والنّشوى وسراج طير وبغروند وخلاط وباجنيس في مملكة الروم، فافتتحها الفرس وضمّوها إلى ملك شروان التي فيها صخرة موسى، عليه السلام، التي بقرب عين الحيوان، ووجدت في كتاب الملحمة المنسوب إلى بطليموس: طول أرمينية العظمى ثمان وسبعون درجة، وعرضها ثمان وثلاثون درجة وعشرون دقيقة، داخلة في الإقليم الخامس، طالعها تسع عشرة درجة من السرطان، يقابلها خمس عشرة درجة من الجدي، ووسط سمائها خمس عشرة درجة من الحمل، بيت حياتها خمس عشرة درجة من الميزان، قال: ومدينة أرمينية الصغرى طولها خمس وسبعون درجة وخمسون دقيقة، وعرضها خمس وأربعون درجة، طالعها عشرون درجة من السرطان، يقابلها مثلها من الجدي بيت ملكها مثلها من الحمل بيت عاقبتها مثلها من الميزان، ولها شركة في العوّاء وفي الدّبّ الأكبر ولها شركة في كوكب هوز، وهو كوكب الحكماء، وما يولد مولود قط وكان طالعه كوكب هوز الا وكان حكيما، وبه ولد بطليموس وبقراط وأوقليدس، وهذه المدينة مقابلة لمدينة الحكماء، يدور عليها من كل بنات نعش أربعة أجزاء، وهي صحيحة الهواء، وكل من سكنها طال عمره، بإذن الله تعالى، هذا كله من كتاب الملحمة. وفي كتب الفرس: أن جرزان وأرّان كانتا في أيدي الخزر، وسائر ارمينية في ايدي الروم يتولّاها صاحبها أرميناقس وسمّته العرب أرميناق، فكانت الخزر تخرج فتغير، فربما بلغت الدينور، فوجّه قباذ بن فيروز الملك قائدا من عظماء
قواده في اثني عشر ألفا، فوطئ بلاد أرّان ففتح ما بين النهر الذي يعرف بالرّسّ إلى شروان، ثم ان قباذ لحق به فبنى بأرّان مدينة البيلقان، ومدينة برذعة، وهي مدينة الثغر كله، ومدينة قبلة، ونفى الخزر ثم بنى سدّ اللبن في ما بين شروان واللّان، وبنى على سدّ اللبن ثلاثمائة وستين مدينة، خربت بعد بناء باب الأبواب. ثم ملك بعد قباذ ابنه أنوشروان فبنى مدينة الشابران ومدينة مسقط ثم بنى باب الأبواب، وإنما سمّيت أبوابا لأنها بنيت على طرق في الجبل، وأسكن ما بنى من هذه المواضع قوما سمّاهم السياسجين، وبنى بأرض أرّان أبواب شكّى والقميران وأبواب الدّودانية، وهم أمة يزعمون أنهم من بني دودان بن أسد بن خزيمة بن مدركة بن الياس بن مضر بن معدّ بن عدنان، وبنى الدّرزوقية، وهي اثنا عشر بابا، على كل باب منها قصر من حجارة، وبنى بأرض جرزان مدينة يقال لها صغدبيل، وأنزلها قوما من الصّغد وأبناء فارس وجعلها مسلحة، وبنى مما يلي الروم في بلاد جرزان قصرا يقال له باب فيروز قباذ، وقصرا يقال له باب لازقة، وقصرا يقال له باب بارقة، وهو على بحر طرابزندة، وبنى باب اللان وباب سمسخى، وبنى قلعة الجردمان وقلعة سمشلدى، وفتح جميع ما كان بأيدي الروم من أرمينية، وعمّر مدينة دبيل ومدينة النّشوى وهي نقجوان، وهي مدينة كورة البسفرجان، وبنى حصن ويص وقلاعا بأرض السيسجان، منها: قلعة الكلاب والشاهبوش وأسكن هذه القلاع والحصون ذوي البأس والنجدة، ولم تزل أرمينية بأيدي الروم حتى جاء الإسلام، وقد ذكر في فتوح أرمينية في مواضعه من كل بلد، وذكر ابن واضح الأصبهاني أنه كتب لعدة من ملوكها وأطال. المقام بأرمينية ولم ير بلدا أوسع منه ولا أكثر عمارة، وذكر أن عدة ممالكها مائة وثماني عشرة مملكة، منها: صاحب السرير ومملكته من اللان وباب الأبواب وليس إليها إلا مسلكين، مسلك إلى بلاد الخزر ومسلك إلى أرمينية، وهي ثمانية عشر ألف قرية، وأرّان أول مملكته بأرمينية، فيها أربعة آلاف قرية وأكثرها لصاحب السرير، وسائر الممالك فيما بين ذلك تزيد على أربعة آلاف وتنقص عن مملكة صاحب السرير، ومنها: شروان وملكها يقال له شروان شاه. وسئل بعض علماء الفرس عن الأحرار الذين بأرمينية لم سمّوا بذلك؟ فقال:
هم الذين كانوا نبلاء بأرض أرمينية قبل أن تملكها الفرس، ثم إن الفرس أعتقوهم لما ملكوا وأقروهم على ولايتهم، وهم بخلاف الأحرار من الفرس الذين كانوا باليمن وبفارس فإنهم لم يملكوا قط قبل الإسلام فسمّوا أحرارا لشرفهم، وقد نسب بهذه النسبة قوم من أهل العلم، منهم: أبو عبد الله عيسى بن مالك بن شمر الأرمني، سافر إلى مصر والمغرب.

علم غريب الحديث والقرآن
قال أبو سليمان محمد الخطابي الغريب من الكلام إنما هو الغامض البعيد من الفهم كما إن الغريب من الناس إنما هو البعيد عن الوطن المنقطع عن الأهل والغريب من الكلام يقال به على وجهين:
أحدهما: أن يراد به أأأنه بعيد المعنى غامضه لا يتناوله الفهم إلا عن بعد ومعاناة فكر.
والوجه الآخر: يراد به كلام من بعدت به الدار من شواذ قبائل العرب فإذا وقعت إلينا الكلمة من كلامهم استغربناها انتهى.
وقال ابن الأثير في النهاية: وقد عرفت أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان أفصح العرب لسانا حتى قال له علي رضي الله عنه وقد سمعه يخاطب وفد بني نمر: يا رسول الله نحن بنو أب واحد ونراك تكلم وفود الغرب بما لا نفهم أكثره فقال: أدبني ربي فأحسن تأديبي.
فكان عليه الصلاة والسلام يخاطب العرب على اختلاف شعوبهم وقبائلهم بما يفهمونه فكان الله عز وجل قد أعلمه ما لم يكن يعلمه غيره وكان أصحابه يعرفون أكثر ما يقوله وما جهلوه سألوه عنه فيوضحه لهم واستمر عصره إلى حين وفاته عليه الصلاة والسلام.
وجاء عصر الصحابة جاريا على هذا النمط فكان اللسان العربي عندهم صحيحا لا يتداخله الخلل إلى أن فتحت الأمصار وخالط العرب غير جنسهم فامتزجت الألسن ونشأ بينهم الأولاد فتعلموا من عصر الصحابة وجاء التابعون فسلكوا سبيلهم فما انقضى زمانهم إلا واللسان العربي قد استحال أعجميا فلما أعضل الداء الهم الله سبحانه وتعالى جماعة من أولي المعارف انصرفوا إلى هذا الشأن طرفا من عنايتهم فشرعوا فيه حراسة لهذا العلم الشريف
فقيل إن أول من جمع في هذا الفن شيئا أبو عبيدة معمر بن المثنى التميمي البصري المتوفى سنة عشر ومائتين فجمع كتابا صغيرا ولم تكن قلته لجهله بغيره وإنما ذلك لأمرين:
أحدهما: إن كل مبتدئ بشيء لم يسيق إليه يكون قليلا ثم يكثر.
والثاني: إن الناس كان فيهم يؤمئذ بقية وعندهم معرفة فلم يكن الجهل قد عم وله تأليف آخر في غريب القرآن وقد صنف عبد الواحد بن أحمد المليح المتوفى سنة اثنتين وستين وأربعمائة كتابا في رده وأبو سعيد أحمد بن خالد الضرير وموفق الدين عبد اللطيف بن يوسف البغدادي المتوفى سنة تسع وعشرين وستمائة صنفا في رد غريب الحديث.
ثم جمع أبو الحسن النضر بن شميل المازني النحوي بعده أكثر منه المتوفى سنة أربع ومائتين ثم جمع عبد الملك بن قريب الأصمعي كتابا أحسن فيه وأجاد وكذلك محمد بن المستنير المعروف بقطرب وغيره من الأئمة جمعوا أحاديث وتكلموا على لغتها في أوراق ولم يكد أحدهم ينفرد عن غيره بكثير حديث لم يذكره الآخر. ثم جاء أبو عبيد القاسم بن سلام بعد المائتين فجمع كتابه فصار هو القدوة في هذا الشأن فإنه أفنى فيه عمره حتى لقد قال فيما يروى عنه: أني جمعت كتابي هذا في أربعين سنة وربما كنت استفيد الفائدة من الأفواه فأضعها في موضعها فكان خلاصة عمري وبقي كتابه في أيدي الناس يرجعون إليه في غريب الحديث وعليه كتاب مختصر لمحب الدين أحمد بن عبد الله الطبري المتوفى سنة أربع وتسعين وستمائة سماه بقريب المرام في غريب القاسم بن سلام مبوبا على الحروف.
ثم جاء عصر أبي محمد عبد الله بن مسلم بن قتيبة الدينوري المتوفى سنة ست وسبعين ومائتين فصنف كتابه المشهور حذا فيه حذو أبي عبيدة فجاء كتابه مثل كتابه أو أكبر.
وقال في مقدمته: أرجو أن لا يكون بقي بعد هذين الكتابين من غريب الحديث ما يكون لأحد فيه مقال.
وقد كان في زمانه الإمام إبراهيم بن إسحاق الحربي الحافظ وجمع كتابه فيه وهو كبير في خمس مجلدات بسط القول فيه واستقصى الأحاديث بطرق أسانيدها وأطاله بذكر متونها وإن لم تكن فيها إلا كلمة واحدة غريبة فطال ذلك كتابه فترك وهجر وإن كان كثير الفوائد توفي رحمه الله ببغداد سنة خمس وثمانين ومائتين.
ثم صنف الناس غير من ذكر منهم شمر بن حمدويه وأبو العباس أحمد بن يحيى المعروف بثعلب المتوفى سنة خمس وثمانين ومائتين وأبو بكر محمد بن قاسم الأنباري المتوفى سنة ثمان وعشرين وثلاثمائة وأحمد بن حسن الكندي وأبو عمر ومحمد بن عبد الواحد الزاهد صاحب ثعلب المتوفى سنة خمس وأربعين وثلث مائة وغريبه غريب مسند الإمام أحمد. وغير هؤلاء أقول كأبي الحسين عمر بن محمد القاضي المالكي المتوفى سنة ثمان وعشرين وثلاثمائة ولم يتم وأبي محمد سلمة بن عاصم النحوي وأبي مروان عبد الملك بن حبيب المالكي المتوفى سنة تسع وثلاثين ومائتين وأبي القاسم محمود بن أبي الحسن بن الحسين النيسابوري الملقب ببيان الحق وقاسم بن محمد الأنباري المتوفى سنة أربع وثلاثمائة وأبي شجاع محمد بن علي بن الدهان البغدادي المتوفى سنة تسعين وخمسمائة وهو كبير في ستة عشر مجلدا. وأبي الفتح سليم بن أيوب الرازي المتوفى سنة اثنتين وأربعين وأربعمائة وابن كيسان محمد بن أحمد النحوي المتوفى سنة تسع وستين ومائتين ومحمد بن حبيب البغدادي النحوي المتوفى سنة خمس وأربعين ومائتين وابن درستويه عبد الله بن جعفر النحوي المتوفى سنة سبع وأربعين وثلاثمائة وإسماعيل بن عبد الغافر راوي صحيح مسلم المتوفى سنة خمس وأربعين وأربعمائة وكتابه جليل الفائدة مجلد مرتب على الحروف.
واستمر الحال إلى عهد الإمام أبي سليمان أحمد بن محمد الخطابي البستي المتوفى سنة ثمان وثمانين وثلاثمائة فألف كتابه المشهور سلك فيه نهج أبي عبيدة وابن قتيبة فكانت هذه الثلاثة فيه أمهات الكتب إلا أنه لم يكن كتاب صنف مرتبا يرجع الإنسان عند طلبه إلا كتاب الحربي وهو على طوله لا يوجد إلا بعد تعب وعناء فلما كان زمان أبي عبيد أحمد بن محمد الهروي المتوفى سنة إحدى وأربعمائة صاحب الأزهري وكان في زمن الخطابي صنف كتابه المشهور في الجمع بين غريبي القرآن والحديث ورتبه على حروف المعجم على وضع لم يسبق فيه وجمع ما في كتب من تقدمه فجاء جامعا في الحسن إلا أنه جاء الحديث مفرقا في حروف كلماته فانتشر فصار هو العمدة فيه وما زال الناس بعده يتبعون أثره على عهد أبي القاسم محمود بن عمر الزمخشري فصنف الفائق ورتبه على وضع اختاره مقفى على حروف المعجم ولكن في العثور على طلب الحديث منه كلفة ومشقة لأنه جمع في التقفية بين إيراد الحديث مسرودا جميعه أو أكثره ثم شرح ما فيه من غريب فيجيء بشرح كل كلمة غريبة يشتمل عليها ذلك الحديث في حرف وأحد فرد الكلمة في غير حروفها وإذا طلبها الإنسان تعب حتى يجدها فكان كتاب الهروي أقرب متناولا وأسهل مأخذاً.
وصنف الحافظ أبو موسى محمد بن أبي بكر الأصفهاني كتابا فيه ما فات الهروي من غريب القرآن والحديث مناسبة وفائدة ورتبه كما رتبه ثم قال: واعلم أنه سيبقى بعد كتابي أشياء لم تقع لي ولا وقفت عليها لأن كلام العرب لم ينحصر. وتوفي سنة إحدى وثمانين وخمسمائة سماه كتاب الغث كمل به الغريبين ومعاصره أبو الفرج عبد الرحمن بن علي الإمام ابن الجوزي صنف كتابا في غريب الحديث نهج فيه طريق الهروي مجردا عن غريب القرآن وكان فاضلا لكنه يغلب عليه الوعظ وقال فيه: قد فاتهم أشياء فرأيت أن أبذل الوسع في جمع غريب وأرجو أن لا يشذ عني مهم من ذلك قال ابن الأثير: ولقد تتبعت كتابه فرأيته مختصرا من كتاب الهروي منتزعا من أبوابه شيئا فشيئا ولم يزد عليه إلا الكلمة الشاذة وأما أبو موسى فإنه لم يذكر في كتابه مما ذكره الهروي لا كلمة اضطر إلى ذكرها فإن كتابه أيضا يضاهي كتاب الهروي لأن وضعه استدراك ما فات الهروي ولما وقفت على ذينك الكتابين وهما في غاية من الحسن وإذا أراد أحد كلمة غريبة يحتاج إليهما وهما كبيران ذوا مجلدات عدة فرأيت أن أجمع بين ما فيهما من غريب الحديث مجرد من غريب القرآن وأضيف كل كلمة إلى أختها وتمادت بين الأيام فحينئذ أمعنت النظر في الجمع بين ألفاظهما فوجدتهما على كثرة ما أودع فيهما قد فاتهما الكثير فإني في بادئ الأمر مر بذكري كلمات غريبة من أحاديث البخاري ومسلم لم يرد شيء منها في هذين الكتابين فحيث عرفت نبهت لاعتبار ما سوى هذين من كتب الحديث فتتبعتها واستقصيت قديما وحديثا فرأيت فيها من الغريب كثيرا وأضفت ما عثرت عليه.
وأنا أقول: كم يكون ما قد فاتني من الكلمات الغريبة تشتمل عليها أحاديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه وتابعيهم ذخيرة لغيري انتهى كلام ابن الأثير من كتابه المسمى بالنهاية ملخصاً.
أقول: وصنف الأرموي بعده كتابه في تتمة كتابه وصنف مهذب الدين بن الحاجب عشر مجلدات وتصنيف قاسم بن ثابت بن حزم السرقسطي المتوفى سنة ثلاثين وثلاثمائة بسرقسطة كان في عصر الحربي ذلك في الشرق هذا في الغرب ولم يطلع أحدهما على ما صنع الأخر ذكره البقاعي رحمه الله تعالى.

1 بَلَّهُ (S, M, &c.,) aor. ـُ (S, M,) inf. n. بَلٌّ (M, Msb, K) and بِلَّةٌ, (M, K,) He moistened it (S, M, K) with water (M, Msb, K) &c.; (M;) and in like manner, ↓ بلّلهُ, (S, M, K,) but signifying he moistened it much. (S, TA.) b2: [Hence,] بَلَّتِ الإِبِلُ أَغْمَارَهَا [The camels damped their thirst;] i. e., drank a little. (TA in art. غمر.) b3: [Hence also,] بَلَّ رَحِمَهُ, (T, S, M, K,) aor. ـُ (T, M,) inf. n. بَلٌّ (with fet-h, TA [in the CK it has kesr]) and بِلَالٌ, (M, K,) (tropical:) He made close [or he refreshed] his ties of relationship by behaving with goodness and affection and gentleness to his kindred; syn. وَصَلَهَا, (T, S, M, K,) and نَدَّاهَا: (T:) for, as some things are conjoined and commixed by moisture, and become disunited by dryness, بَلٌّ is metaphorically used to denote conjunction, as above, and يُبْسٌ to denote the contrary. (TA.) A poet says, وَالرِّحْمَ فابْلُلْهَا بِخَيْرِ البُلَّانْ فَإِنَهَااشْتُقَّتْ مِنِ اسْمِ الرَّحْمٰنْ [(tropical:) And the ties of relationship, make thou them close &c. by the best mode, or modes, of doing so; for the name thereof is derived from the name of the Compassionate]: here ↓البُلَّان may be a noun in the sing. number, like غُفْرَانٌ, or it may be pl. of بَلَلٌ, which may be either a subst. or an. inf. n., for some inf. ns. have pls., as شُغْلٌ and عَقْلٌ and مَرَضٌ. (M.) And it is said in a trad., بُلُّوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ وَلَوْ بِالسَّلَامِ (tropical:) Make ye close [or refresh ye] your ties of relationship &c., though but, or if only, by salutation; syn. صِلُوهَا, (M,) or نَدُّوهَا بِالصِّلَةِ. (S.) And hence the saying in another trad., إِذَ اسْتَشَنَّ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ اللّٰهِ فَابْلُلْهُ بِالإِحْسَانِ إِلَى عِبَادَهِ (tropical:) [When the tie between thee and God wears out, repair thou it, or refresh thou it, by beneficence to his servants]. (TA.) [See also بِلَالٌ.] b4: بَلَّكَ اللّٰهُ بِابْنٍ, (S, M, K,) and ابْنًا, (M, K,) (assumed tropical:) May God give thee a son. (S, M, K, TA.) Hence, perhaps, the phrase, بُلَّتْ يَدَاكَ بِهِ as meaning (assumed tropical:) Thou was given it. (Har p. 479.) You say also, بَلَلْتُهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) I gave to him. (T.) And ↓ لَا تَبْلُكَ عِنْدِى بَالَّةٌ, and ↓ بَلَالٌ, (T, S, M, K, [but in the K عِنْدَنَا, and “ or ” for “ and,” and in the CK لا تَبَلُّكَ,]) (tropical:) No bounty, (S,) no good, or no benefit, shall betide thee from me, (T, S, K, TA,) nor will I profit thee, nor believe thee. (T.) b5: بَلُّوا They sowed land. (ISh, T, K.) A2: [بَلَّ as an intrans. verb perhaps primarily signifies It was, or became, moist; and has for its sec. Pers\. بَلِلْتَ or بَلَلْتَ, and for its aor. ـَ or بَلِّ, and for its inf. n. بَلَلٌ, and probably بِلَّةٌ &c. mentioned with that noun below. b2: And hence,] بَلَّتِ الرِّيحُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. بُلُولٌ, The wind was cold and moist. (M, K.) [See بَلِيلٌ.] b3: [And hence, probably, as though originally said of one who had had a fever,] بَلَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. بَلٌّ (S, M, K) and بَلَلٌ and بُلُولٌ; (M, K) and ↓ ابلّ, and ↓ استبلّ; (S, M, K;) He recovered from his disease: (S, M:) and ↓ ابتلّ and ↓ تبلّل he became in a good condition after leanness, or meagerness: (M,Z:) or all have this latter signification: and the second (ابلّ) has the former also. (K.) b4: And بَلَّ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ (M,) inf. n. بُلُولٌ; and ↓ ابلّ; He (a man, TA) escaped, or became safe or secure, (M, K,) from difficulty, distress, or straitness. (TA.) b5: بَلَّ فِى الأَرْض, (Msb, K, * TA,) aor. ـِ inf. n. بَلٌّ; (Msb;) and ↓ ابلّ; (M, K;) He (a man, M) went away in, or into, the land, or country. (M, Msb, K.) And بَلَّتْ نَاقَتُهُ His she-camel went away. (TA.) And بَلَّتْ مَطِيَّتُهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا, (Fr, T, TA,) and على ↓ ابلّت وجها, (K,) His camel, or riding-camel, ran away, or went away, at random, to pasture, straying; syn. هَمَتْ ضَالَّةً. (Fr, T, K, TA. [In the CK, همت, which, as is said in the TA, is without teshdeed, is written هَمَّتْ.]) A3: بَلِلْتُ مِنْهُ, (As, T, S, &c.,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (M,) I got him; got possession of him; (As, T, S, M, K;) got him in my hand. (S.) One says, لَئِنْ بَلَّتْ بِكَ يَدِى لَا تُفَارِقُنِى أَوْ تُؤَدِّىَ حَقِّى [Assuredly if my hand get hold of thee, thou shalt not quit me unless thou give up, or pay, my right, or due]. (S.) and hence the prov., مَا بَلَلْتُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ بِأَفْوَقَ نَاصِلٍ [I did not get, in such a one, a man like an arrow with a broken notch and without a head]; meaning I got a perfect man; one sufficient. (Sh, T.) b2: Also, (T,) or بَلِلْتُهُ, (M, K,) I kept, or clave, to him, (T, M, K,) namely, a man, (T, K,) and constantly associated with him. (T.) And بَلَّ بِالشَّيْءِ, inf. n. بَلٌّ, He became devoted, or attached, to the thing, and kept to it constantly. (TA.) b3: And بَلِلْتُ مِنْهُ, (M, K,) aor. ـَ (TA,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ and بَلَالَةٌ and بُلُولٌ, I was tried by him (مُنِيتُ بِهِ [app. meaning بِحُبِّهِ by love of him]), and loved him (عَلِقْتُهُ [in the CK عَلَقْتُهُ]); as also بَلَلْتُ به, (AA, M, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. بُلُولٌ (AA, TA.) And بَلِلْتُ بِهِ I was tried by him, as though by fire, (صَلِيتُ به, [in the CK صَلَيْتُ,]) and suffered distress, or misery, or fatigue (شَقِيتُ, for which شُفِيتُ is erroneously put in the copies of the K: TA). (M, K. *) b4: مَا بَلَلْتُ بِهِ, (K,) aor. ـَ inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (TA,) I did not light on, or meet with, or find, nor know, him, or it; expl. by مَا أَصَبْتُهُ وَ لَا عَلِمْتُهُ. (K.) A4: بَلَّ, (Th, M, K,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (Th, S, M, K,) He (a man) was, or became, such as is termed أَبَلّ [which epithet see below]. (Th, S, M, K.) 2 بَلَّّ see 1, first sentence.4 ابلّ It (wood, or a branch or twig,) had the sap, (المَآء, K,) or the produce of the rain, (O,) flowing in it. (O, K.) b2: See also بَلَّ, in four places.

A2: He (a man) resisted, or withstood, and overcame. (As, T, S. [See also أَبَلَ.]) And ابلّ عَلَيْهِ He overcame him. (M, K.) [See an ex. in a verse of Sá'ideh, cited voce خَسْفٌ.] b2: He wearied by badness, or wickedness: (M, K:) or he wearied another in aiding him to accomplish his desire. (TA. [See مُبِلٌّ.]) A3: أَبْلَلْتُهُ I made him to go away. (Msb.) 5 تَبَلَّّ see 8: b2: and see also بَلَّ.8 ابتلّ It became moist or moistened (S, M, Msb, * K) with water (M, Msb, K) &c.; (M;) and in like manner, [but signifying it became much moistened, being quasi-pass. of بلّلهُ,] ↓ تبلّل. (M, K.) b2: See also بَلَّ.10 إِسْتَبْلَ3َ see بَلَّ.

R. Q. 1 بَلْبَلَ, inf. n. بَلْبَلَةٌ and بِلْبَالٌ, (M, K,) the latter with kesr, (TA,) [but written in the CK with fet-h,] He put people in motion; and roused, or excited, them. (M, K.) b2: Also, (T,) inf. n. بَلْبَلَةٌ, (K,) He scattered, dispersed, or put asunder, his goods, commodities, or householdutensils and furniture. (IAar, T, K. * [In the CK, والمَتاعُ is erroneously put for وَالمَتَاعِ.]) b3: And He divided, or disunited, opinions. (Fr, T, K; but only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense is mentioned.) b4: And He (God) [mixed or confounded or] made discordant the tongues, or languages, of a people. (T.) b5: [See also بَلْبَلَةٌ below.] R. Q. 2 تَبَلْبَلَ He (a man) was moved by grief [or anxiety: see بَلْبَلَةٌ, below]. (Har p. 94.) b2: تَبَلْبَلَتِ الأَلْسُنُ The tongues, or languages, became mixed, or confounded. (S, K.) A2: تَبَلْبَلَتِ الإِبِلُ الكَلَأَ The camels went on seeking the herbage, or pasture, and left not of it aught. (S, K.) بَلْ is a particle of digression: (Mughnee, K:) or, accord. to Mbr, it denotes emendation, wherever it occurs, in the case of a negation or an affirmation: (T, TA:) or it is a word of emendation, and denoting digression from that which precedes; as also بَنْ, in which the ن is a substitute for the ل, because بل is of frequent occurrence, and بن is rare; or, as IJ says, the latter may be an independent dial. var. (M.) When it is followed by a proposition, the meaning of the digression is either the cancelling of what precedes, as in وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَانَهُ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُكْرَمُونَ [And they said, “The Compassionate hath gotten offspring: ” extolled be his freedom from that which is derogatory from his glory! nay, or nay rather, or nay but, they are honoured servants (Kur xxi. 26)], or transition from one object of discourse to another, as in قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى وَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا [He hath attained felicity who hath purified himself, and celebrated the name of his Lord, and prayed: but ye prefer the present life (Kur lxxxvii. 14-16)]: (Mughnee, K: *) and in all such cases it is an inceptive particle; not a conjunctive. (Mughnee.) When it is followed by a single word, it is a conjunction, (S, * Msb, * Mughnee, K,) and requires that word to be in the same case as the word before it: (S:) and if preceded by a command or an affirmation, (Mughnee, K,) as in اِضْرَبْ زَيْدًا بَلْ عَمْرًا [Beat thou Zeyd: no, 'Amr], (Msb, Mughnee, K,) and قَامَ زَيْدٌ بَلْ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd stood: no, 'Amr], (M, Mughnee, K,) or جَآءَنِى أَخُوكَ بَلْ أَبُوكَ [Thy brother came to me: no, thy father], (S,) it makes what precedes it to be as though nothing were said respecting it, (S, * Msb, * Mughnee, K,) making the command or affirmation to relate to what follows it: (S, * Msb, * Mughnee:) [and similar to these cases is the case in which it is preceded by an interrogation: see أَمْ as syn. with this particle:] but when it is preceded by a negation or a prohibition, it is used to confirm the meaning of what precedes it and to assign the contrary of that meaning to what follows it, (Mughnee, K,) as in مَا قَامَ زَيْدٌ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd stood not, but 'Amr stood], (Mughnee,) or مَا رَأَيْتُ زَيْدًا بَلْ عَمْرًا, [I saw not Zeyd, but I saw 'Amr], (S,) and لَا يَقُمْ زَيْدٌ بَلْ عَمْرٌو [Let not Zeyd stand, but let 'Amr stand]. (Mughnee.) Mbr and 'Abd-El-Wárith allow its being used to transfer the meaning of the negation and the prohibition to what follows it; so that, accord. to them, one may say, مَازَيْدٌ قَائِمًا بَلْ قَاعِدًا [as meaning Zeyd is not standing: no, is not sitting], and بَلْ قَاعِدٌ [but is sitting]; the meaning being different [in the two cases]. (Mughnee, K. *) The Koofees disallow its being used as a conjunction after anything but a negation [so in the Mughnee, but in the K a prohibition,] or the like thereof; so that one should not say, ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا بَلْ إِيَّاكَ [I beat Zeyd: no, thee]. (Mughnee, K.) Sometimes لَا is added before it, to corroborate the meaning of digression, after an affirmation, as in the saying, وَجْهُكَ البَدْرُ لَا بَلِ الشَّمْسُ لَوْ لَمْ يُقْضَ لِلشَّمْسِ كَسْفَةٌ وَ أُفُولُ [Thy face is the full moon: no, but it would be the sun, were it not that eclipse and setting are appointed to happen to the sun]: and to corroborate what precedes it, after a negation, as in وَ مَا هَجَرْتُكَ لَا بَلْ زَادَنِى شَغَفًا هَجْرٌ وَ بَعْدٌ تَرَاخَى لَا إِلَى أَجَلِ [And I did not abandon thee, or have not abandoned thee: no, but abandonment and distance, protracted, not to an appointed period, increased, or have increased, my heart-felt love]. (Mughnee, K. *) b2: Sometimes it is used to denote the passing from one subject to another without cancelling [what precedes it], and is syn. with وَ, as in the saying in the Kur [lxxxv. 20 and 21], وَاللّٰهُ مِنْ, وَ رَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ [And God from behind them is encompassing: and it is a glorious Kur-án: or here it may mean إِنَّ, as in an ex. below]: and to this meaning it is made to accord in the saying, لَهُ عَلَىَّ دِينَارٌ بَلْ دِرْهَمٌ [I owe him a deenár and a dirhem]. (Msb.) b3: In the fol-lowing saying in the Kur [xxxviii. 1],وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِى

الذِّكْرِبَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ, it is said to signify إِنَّ; [so that the meaning is, By the Kur-án possessed of eminence, verily they who have disbelieved are in a state of pride and opposition;] therefore the oath applies to it. (Akh, S.) b4: Sometimes the Arabs use it in breaking off a saying and commencing another; and thus a man commences with it a citation, or recitation, of verse; in which case, it does not form any part of the first verse, but is a sign of the breaking off, or ending, of what precedes. (Akh, S.) b5: Sometimes it is put in the place of رُبَّ, (S, Mughnee,) as in the saying of the rájiz, بَلْ مَهْمَهٍ قَطَعْتُ بَعْدَ مَهْمَهٍ

[Many a far-extending desert have I traversed, after a far-extending desert]. (S: [and a similar ex. is given in the Mughnee.]) b6: What is deficient in this word [supposing it to be originally of three letters] is unknown; and so in the cases of هَلْ and قَدْ: it may be a final و or ى or they may be originally بَلّ and هَلّ and قَدّ. (Akh, S.) بَلٌّ Moist, or containing moisture: or rather moistened; being, app., an inf. n. used in the sense of a pass. part. n. ; like خَلْقٌ in the sense of مَخْلُوقٌ. Hence,] رِيحٌ بَلَّةٌ and ↓بَلِيلٌ and ↓بَلِيلَةٌ A wind in which is moisture: (S:) or the last, a wind mixed with feeble rain: (T:) and the second, a wind cold with moisture; (M, K;) or the same, a wind cold with rain; (A, TA;) the north wind, as though it sprinkled water by reason of its coldness: (TA:) and ↓ بَلَلٌ also signifies a cold north wind: (Ibn-'Abbád, TA:) بَلِيلٌ is used alike as sing. and pl. : (K:) it has no pl. (M.) A2: بَلٌّ بِشَىْءٍ A man (M) devoted, or attached, to a thing, and keeping to it constantly. (M, K. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, اللَّهْجُ is erroneously put for اللَّهِجُ.]) b2: And بَلٌّ, alone, Much given to the deferring of payment to his creditors, by repeated promises; (T;) withholding, by swearing, what he possesses of things that are the rightful property of others. (IAar, T, K.) See also أَبَلٌّ, in two places.

بِلٌّ Allowable, or lawful; i. e., to be taken, or let alone, or done, or made use of, or possessed: (T, S, M, K:) so in the dial. of Himyer: (T, S. M:) or a remedy; (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K;) from the phrase بَلَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ [q. v.]: (A' Obeyd, T, S, M:) or it is an imitative sequent to حِلٌّ, (M, K,) as some say: (M:) so As thought until he heard that it was said to be of the dial. of Himyer in the first of the senses explained above: (S, M:) A'Obeyd and ISk say that it may not be so because it is conjoined with حِلٌّ by وَ: (T:) and A'Obeyd says, We have seldom found an imitative sequent conjoined by و. (TA.) Hence the phrase, هُوَ لَكَ حِلٌّ وَبِلٌّ It is to thee lawful and allowable: or lawful and a remedy. (M, K. *) And hence the saying of El-'Abbás the son of 'Abd-El-Muttalib, respecting [the well of] Zemzem, هِىَ لِشَارِبٍ حِلٌّ وَ بِلٌّ It is to a drinker lawful &c. (T, S, M.) بَلَّةٌ [A single act of moistening. b2: And hence,] The least sprinkling (أَدْنَى بَلَلٍ lit. the least moisture) of good. (TA in art. هل.) You say, جَآءَنَا فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ يَأْتِنَا بِهَلَّةٍ وَلَا بَلَّةٍ [Such a one came to us and did not bring us anything to rejoice us nor the least sprinkling of good]: هلّة, accord. to ISK, being from الفَرَحُ and الاِسْتِهْلَالُ, and بلّة from البَلْلُ and الخَيْرُ. (S.) And مَا أَصَابَ هَلَّةً

وَلَا بَلَّةً He did not obtain, or has not obtained, anything. (S.) b3: Wealth, or competence: (Fr, TA:) or wealth, or competence, after poverty; (Fr, T, K, TA;) as also ↓ بُلَّى. (K.) b4: Remains of herbage or pasture; (K;) as also ↓ بُلَّةٌ. (Fr, T, K.) b5: The freshness of youth; as also ↓ بُلَّةٌ; (M, K; *) but the former word is the more approved. (M.) b6: See also an ex. voce بَلَلٌ.

بُلَّةٌ: see بَلَلٌ, in two places: b2: and see also بَلَّةٌ, in two places. b3: Also A state of moisture. (M.) b4: The moisture of fresh pasture. (S, M, K.) The rájiz (Iháb Ibn-'Omeyr, TA) says, describing [wild] asses, وَ فَارَقَتْهَا بُلَّةُ الأَوَابِلِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَهْرَأْنَ بِالأَصَائِلِ meaning that they went in the cool of the evening to the water after that the herbage had dried up: الاوابل means the wild animals that are satisfied with green pasture, so as to be in no need of water. (S.) بِلَّةٌ: see بَلَلٌ, in two places. b2: Also Good, good fortune, prosperity, or wealth: and sustenance, or means of subsistence. (M, K.) b3: Health; soundness; or freedom from disease. (T, K, TA.) b4: A repast prepared on the occasion of a wedding, or on any occasion. (Fr, K.) b5: (tropical:) The tongue's fluency, and chasteness of speech: (K, TA:) or its readiness of diction or expression, and facility; (M;) and [so in the M, but in the K “ or,”] its falling upon the [right] places of utterance of the letters, (T, M, A, K,) and its regular and uniform continuance of speech, (T, M, K,) and its facility. (K.) You say, مَا أَحْسَنٌ بِلَّةَ لِسَانِهِ (tropical:) [How good is the fluency, &c., of his tongue!]. (T, M, TA.) بَلَلٌ Moisture; (S, M, Msb, K;) as also ↓ بِلَّةٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ بِلَالٌ and ↓ بُلَالَةٌ (M, K) [and several other dial. vars. occurring in phrases in this paragraph]: or ↓ بِلَّةٌ signifies an inferior, or inconsiderable, degree of moisture; (Lth, T, K; [an ambiguity in the K in this place has occasioned several mistakes in Freytag's Lex. voce بَلَلٌ;]) and ↓ بِلَالٌ is an anomalous pl. of this word; (M, TA;) and is pl. also of ↓ بُلَّةٌ: (S, TA:) and بُلَّانٌ, occurring in a verse cited above (see 1) may be pl. of بَلَلٌ. (M.) [Using syns. of بَلَلٌ in the sense explained above,] you say, طَوَيْتُ
