حَجُّ and ↓ حِجٌّ, the former an inf. n., and the latter a simple subst., (S, Msb, K,) or the latter also is an inf. n., (Sb, L,) [both used as substs.,] The pilgrimage to Mekkeh, (S, K,) or to the Kaabeh, (Msb,) to perform the religious rites and ceremonies prescribed to be observed on that occasion: (S, Msb, K:) Ks makes no difference between these two words: some say that the former is employed to signify the religious rites and ceremonies of the pilgrimage because they follow the repairing to Mekkeh, or because they are completed by shaving [the head], or because people continue long going to and fro to perform them: accord. to Az, it signifies the performance of the religious rites and ceremonies of the pilgrimage of one year; and some say ↓ حِجٌّ and ↓ حِجَّةٌ: (TA:) or this last signifies a single pilgrimage, for the performance of its appointed religious rites and ceremonies; deviating from rule; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) for by rule it should be ↓ حَجَّةٌ, (S, Mgh, K,) which, Th says, has not been heard from the Arabs: (Mgh, Msb:) Ks says that ↓ حَجَجْتُ حِجَّةً and رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَةً are the only deviations from the model of فَعَلْتُ فَعْلَةً in all the language of the Arabs: but El-Athram and others are related to have said, We have not heard from the Arabs حَجَجْتُ حِجَّةً

nor رَأَيْتُ رِئْيَةً; they saying only ↓ حَجَجْتُ حَجَّةً: (L, TA:) whence it appears that ↓ حَجَّةٌ and ↓ حِجَّةٌ were both used: (TA:) the pl. of the latter is حِجَجٌ: (Mgh, Msb:) so in the saying, نَذَرَ خَمْسَ حِجَجٍ [He made a vow to perform five pilgrimages]. (Mgh.) Hence, ↓ ذُو الحِجَّةِ (S, Mgh, Msb) and ↓ ذو الحَجَّةِ, (Msb, TA,) which latter is said by Kz and 'Iyád and Ibn-Kurkool to be the more common, (TA,) [or, accord. to Fei, the contr. is the case, for he says,] some pronounce it in the latter manner, (Msb,) [The last month of the Arabian calendar;] the month of the pilgrimage; (S, Mgh, Msb;) so called because the pilgrimage to Mekkeh, and the religious rites and ceremonies thereof, are performed in it: (TA:) pl. ذَوَاتُ الحجّهِ: (S, Msb:) they did not say ذَوُو الحَجّةِ agreeably with the singular. (S.) [Hence also,] ↓ وَحَجَّةِ اللّٰهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ [By the pilgrimage which is the ordinance of God, I will not do this or that thing]: a form of oath used by the Arabs. (S, K.) What is commonly termed الحَجُّ is sometimes termed الحَجُّ الأَكْبَرُ [The greater pilgrimage]: العُمْرَةُ [q. v.] being termed الحَجَّ الأَصْغَرُ [the minor pilgrimage]. (Kull p. 168.) b2: See also حَاجٌّ.

(TA.) The expression فِى

حَجَا حَاجِبٍ ضَمْرٍ is used by poetic license for فى حَجَاجِ حاجب ضمر.

(So in a marginal note in a copy of the S.) The fem. is ↓ حَاجَّةٌ: pl. حَوَاجُّ: (S, K:) you say حَوَاجُّ بَيْتِ اللّٰهِ when they have performed the pilgrimage; but when they have not yet performed it, [being in the act of performing it,] you say حَوَاجُّ بَيْتَ اللّٰهِ, in which latter case you would say حَوَاجٌّ were not this word imperfectly decl.; [and in like manner, حَاجُّ بَيْتِ اللّٰهِ, and حَاجٌّ بَيْتَ اللّٰهِ;] like as you say ضَارِبُ زَيْدٍ أَمْسِ, and ضَارِبٌ زَيْدًا غَدًا.

(TA. [See also art. دج.]) And وَلَا دَاجَّةً ↓ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ He left not a company of pilgrims to Mekkeh (جَمَاعَةً حَاجَّةً), nor a company of their followers, or dependents. (TA from a trad.

تستر به عن: استعاذ به من، التجأ إليه من (المقدمة 3: 145).
والمصدر تستُّر بمعنى حياة طاهرة عفيفة معجم الطرائف (المقري 2: 90).

سُتْرَة. بالسترة: سراً، خفية (فوك).
سُتْرَة: أدب، حشمة، حياء (ألكالا). وينقل كاترمير في مملوك (2، 2: 34) هذه العبارة المأخوذة من تاريخ بطاركة الإسكندرية ما ثبت فيه من الأمانة والسترة المرضية ويقول العبدري (ص58 و) في كلامه عرب اليمن المعروفين بالسَرْو الذين ينقلون الطعام إلى مكة والعرا فيهم فاش إلا السُتْرَة. ولا أدري ماذا تعني هذه الكلمة هنا، فهل هي تعني الرجال ذوي الأدب والحشمة؟ أم أن في النص نقصاً؟.

سَتِير: من يستر خطيئة قريبه (ألف ليلة 2: 93) سِتَارَة: مغنيات الأغنياء. وهو استعمال مجازي لكلمة سِتارَة بمعنى السِتار الذي يسدل ليحجب ما وراءه، وذلك لأن المغنيات كن يغنين من وراء ستارة تحجبهن عن السامعين (عباد 2: 40 رقم 2).
سِتّارة لَهْو: موضع في الدار يغنى فيه ويرقص (المقري 2: 222) ولابد أن ستارة الخليفة تدل على هذا. وفي ستارة المتوكل كانوا يشربون الخمر بإفراط كما يستدل عليه من منتخبات من تاريخ العرب (ص554) وكانوا يفعلون هذا سراً من وراء ستارة.

سِتَارة: ملاءة النساء البيضاء الواسعة (برجرن) سُتُوري: صانع الستائر (ألف ليلة 2: 217، 220) سَتَائِريّ. يقول ابن بطوطة (3: 287) الستائريون في الهند هم الذين كانوا يحفظون الدواب في باب المشْور أي قاعة الانتظار. وأظن هذه الكلمة نسبة إلى ستارة بمعنى جُلّّ فهي لذلك تعنى السائس أي خادم الإسطبل.
وأرى إنها نفس الكلمة التي يذكرها الرحالة الأوربيون فأنا نقرأ لدى مارمول (2: 99) ((وقائد آخر مسؤول عن السعاة أو الخدم الذي يمشون إلى جانب الجواد الذين يطلق عليهم اسم الستيرية وهؤلاء يقومون بحمل الطعام إلى مقر الملك، واستدعاء من يريد الملك التحدث معه، وإذا ما أراد الملك عقوبة شخص في حضرته فهم الذين يتولون تنفيذ أوامره، ثم إذا أراد الملك ركوب جواده تقدموه واحدهم يحمل رمحاً بجانب السائس، والثاني يمسك باللجام والثالث يحمل الحذاء)). وتوريس (ص168، 317، 337، 392) يكتب الكلمة: سيتارز وسيتيرس وسَتيرس، لا يضيف على هذا شيئا إلا قوله ((وكان للشريف ثلاثمائة منهم حين كنت هناك. وأكثرهم مسلمون سود أو خلاسيون أي أبناء السود والبيض)).
ويقول شارنت (ص52) إن الستارية هم أعوان القاضي. وكذلك يقول موكيت (ص179، 400) وينقل كاترمير (مملوك (1، 1: 51) العبارة الأولى من الرحالة الذي ذكرته أخيراً، وهو يرجعها إلى كلمة شاطر، وقد كنت أرى من قبل أيضاً أن كلاً من نوريس وشارنت إنما يريدون هذه الكلمة (عباد 1: 408 رقم 70)، والخلط بينهما يسير لأن كلمتي شاطر وستائري لا تختلفان كثيراً في المعنى غير أن الطريقة التي يكتب بها الرحالة هذه الكلمة تحملني على الاعتقاد الآن أنهم يريدون بها كلمة ستائري. سَتّار. يا ستّار: يا الله، (بوشر).
سَتّار: من يخفي الأشياء المسروقة أو العبيد الآبقين (ألكالا).
ساتِر: اسم من أسماء الله الحسنى مثل سَتَّار. ويقال يا ساتر حين تخشى المرأة سقوط نصفيها فيرى وجهها صدفة أو حين الخشية من السقوط عن الدابة (برقوف 2: 128) مِسْتَرَة اللحاف: الطاق الذي تحت الكلحفة. (محيط المحيط).

مَسْتُورَة: الذرة في تونس وطرابلس، وسميت بذلك لأن سنبلتها تشبه المرأة المستورة بالبرقع (يا جنى ص31، يراكس مجلة الشرق والجزائر 7: 262، 8: 345).
