هَمَذَانُ:
بالتحريك، والذال معجمة، وآخره نون، في الإقليم الرّابع، وطولها من جهة المغرب ثلاث وسبعون درجة، وعرضها ست وثلاثون درجة، قال هشام بن الكلبي: همذان سميت بهمذان بن الفلّوج ابن سام بن نوح، عليه السّلام، وهمذان وأصبهان أخوان بنى كل واحد منهما بلدة، ووجد في بعض كتب السريانيين في أخبار الملوك والبلدان: إن الذي بنى همذان يقال له كرميس بن حليمون، وذكر بعض علماء الفرس أن اسم همذان إنما كان نادمه ومعناه المحبوبة، وروي عن شعبة أنه قال: الجبال عسكر وهمذان معمعتها وهي أعذبها ماء وأطيبها هواء، وقال ربيعة بن عثمان: كان فتح همذان في جمادى الأولى على رأس ستة أشهر من مقتل عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، وكان الذي فتحها المغيرة بن شعبة في سنة 24 من الهجرة، وفي آخر: وجّه المغيرة بن شعبة وهو عامل عمر بن الخطاب على الكوفة بعد عزل عمار بن ياسر عنها جرير بن عبد الله البجلي إلى همذان في سنة 23 فقاتله أهلها وأصيبت عينه بسهم فقال: أحتسبها عند الله الذي زين بها وجهي ونوّر لي ما شاء ثم سلبنيها في سبيله، وجرى أمر همذان على مثل ما جرى عليه أمر نهاوند وذلك في آخر سنة 23 وغلب على أرضها قسرا وضمّها المغيرة إلى كثير بن شهاب والي الدينور، وإليه ينسب قصر كثير في نواحي الدينور، وقال بعض علماء الفرس: كانت همذان أكبر مدينة بالجبال وكانت أربعة فراسخ في مثلها، طولها من الجبل إلى قرية يقال لها زينوآباذ، وكان صنف التجار بها وصنف الصيارف بسنجاباذ، وكان القصر الخراب الذي بسنجاباذ تكون فيه الخزائن والأموال، وكان صنف البزازين في قرية يقال لها برشيقان، فيقال إن بخت نصّر بعث إليها قائدا
يقال له صقلاب في خمسمائة ألف رجل فأناخ عليها وأقام يقاتل أهلها مدة وهو لا يقدر عليها، فلما أعيته الحيلة فيها وعزم على الانصراف استشار أهله فقالوا:
الرأي أن تكتب إلى بخت نصر وتعلمه أمرك وتستأذنه في الانصراف، فكتب إليه: أما بعد فإني وردت على مدينة حصينة كثيرة الأهل منيعة واسعة الأنهار ملتفة الأشجار كثيرة المقاتلة وقد رمت أهلها فلم أقدر عليها وضجر أصحابي المقام وضاقت عليهم الميرة والعلوفة فإن أذن لي الملك بالانصراف فقد انصرفت.
فلما وصل الكتاب إلى بخت نصر كتب إليه: أما بعد فقد فهمت كتابك ورأيت أن تصوّر لي المدينة بجبالها وعيونها وطرقها وقراها ومنبع مياهها وتنفذ إليّ بذلك حتى يأتيك أمري، ففعل صقلاب ذلك وصوّر المدينة وأنفذ الصورة إليه وهو ببابل، فلما وقف عليه جمع الحكماء وقال: أجيلوا الرأي في هذه الصورة وانظروا من أين تفتح هذه المدينة، فأجمعوا على أن مياه عيونها تحبس حولا ثم تفتح وترسل على المدينة فإنها تغرق، فكتب بخت نصر إلى صقلاب بذلك وأمره بما قاله الحكماء، ففتح ذلك الماء بعد حبسه وأرسله على المدينة فهدم سورها وحيطانها وغرق أكثر أهلها فدخلها صقلاب وقتل المقاتلة وسبى الذرّية وأقام بها فوقع في أصحابه الطاعون فمات عامتهم حتى لم يبق منهم إلا قليل ودفنوا في أحواض من خزف فقبورهم معروفة توجد في المحالّ والسكك إذا عمروا دورهم وخرّبوا، ولم تزل همذان بعد ذلك خرابا حتى كانت حرب دارا بن دارا والإسكندر فإن دارا استشار أصحابه في أمره لما أظله الإسكندر فأشاروا عليه بمحاربته بعد أن يحرز حرمه وأمواله وخزائنه بمكان حريز لا يوصل إليه ويتجرد هو للقتال، فقال:
انظروا موضعا حريزا حصينا لذلك، فقالوا له: إن من وراء أرض الماهين جبالا لا ترام وهي شبيهة بالسند وهناك مدينة منيعة عتيقة قد خربت وبارت وهلك أهلها وحولها جبال شامخة يقال لها همذان فالرأي للملك أن يأمر ببنائها وإحكامها وأن يجعل في وسطها حصنا يكون للحرم والخزائن والعيال والأموال ويبني حول الحصن دور القوّاد والخاصة والمرازبة ثم يوكل بالمدينة اثني عشر ألف رجل من خاصة الملك وثقاته يحمونها ويقاتلون عنها من رامها، قال: فأمر دارا ببناء همذان وبنى في وسطها قصرا عظيما مشرفا له ثلاثة أوجه وسماه ساروقا وجعل فيه ألف مخبإ لخزائنه وأمواله وأغلق عليه ثمانية أبواب حديد كل باب في ارتفاع اثني عشر ذراعا ثم أمر بأهله وولده وخزائنه فحوّلوا إليها وأسكنوها، وجعل في وسط القصر قصرا آخر صيّر فيه خواص حرمه وأحرز أمواله في تلك المخابىء، ووكل بالمدينة اثني عشر ألفا وجعلهم حراسا، وحكى بعض أهل همذان عنها مثل ما حكيناه أولا عن بخت نصر من حبس الماء وإطلاقه على البلد حتى خربه وفتحه، والله أعلم، ويقال إن أول من بنى همذان جم بن نوجهان بن شالخ بن أرفخشد بن سام بن نوح، عليه السّلام، وسماها سارو، ويعرب فيقال ساروق، وحصّنها بهمن بن إسفنديار، وإن دارا وجد المدينة حصينة المكان دارسة البناء فأعاد بناءها ثم كثر الناس بها في الزمان القديم حتى كانت منازلها تقدر بثلاثة فراسخ، وكان صنف الصاغة بها بقرية سنجاباذ واليوم تلك القرية على فرسخين من البلد، قال شيرويه في أخبار الفرس بلسانهم:
سارو جم كرد دارا كمر بست بهمن إسفنديار بسر آورد، معناه بنى الساروق جم ونطّقه دارا أي سوّره وعمم عليه سورا واستتمه وأحسنه بهمن بن إسفنديار، وذكر أيضا بعض مشايخ همذان أنها
أعتق مدينة بالجبل، واستدلوا على ذلك من بقية بناء قديم باق إلى الآن وهو طاق جسيم شاهق لا يدرى من بناه وللعامة فيه أخبار عامية ألغينا ذكرها خوف التهمة، وقال محمد بن بشار يذكر همذان وأروند:
ولقد أقول تيامني وتشاءمي ... وتواصلي ريما على همذان
بلد نبات الزعفران ترابه، ... وشرابه عسل بماء قنان
سقيا لأوجه من سقيت لذكرهم ... ماء الجوى بزجاجة الأحزان
كاد الفؤاد يطير مما شفّه ... شوقا بأجنحة من الخفقان
فكسا الربيع بلاد أهلك روضة ... تفترّ عن نفل وعن حوذان
حتى تعانق من خزاماك الذي ... بالجلهتين شقائق النعمان
وإذا تبجّست الثلوج تبجّست ... عن كوثر شبم وعن حيوان
متسلسلين على مذانب تلعة ... تثغو الجداء بها على الحملان
قال المؤلف: ولا شك عند كل من شاهد همذان بأنها من أحسن البلاد وأنزهها وأطيبها وأرفهها وما زالت محلّا للملوك ومعدنا لأهل الدين والفضل إلا أن شتاءها مفرط البرد بحيث قد أفردت فيه كتب وذكر أمره بالشعر والخطب وسنذكر من ذلك مناظرة جرت بين رجل من أهل العراق يقال له عبد القاهر بن حمزة الواسطي ورجل من همذان يقال له الحسين بن أبي سرح في أمرها فيه كفاية، قالوا:
وكانا كثيرا ما يلتقيان فيتحادثان الأدب ويتذاكران العلم وكان عبد القاهر لا يزال يذمّ الجبل وهواءه وأهله وشتاءه لأنه كان رجلا من أهل العراق وكان ابن أبي سرح مخالفا له كثيرا يذم العراق وأهله، فالتقيا يوما عند محمد بن إسحاق الفقيه وكان يوما شاتيا صادق البرد كثير الثلج وكان البرد قد بلغ من عبد القاهر مبالغه، فلما دخل وسلم قال: لعن الله الجبل ولعن ساكنيه وخص الله همذان من اللعن بأوفره وأكثره! فما أكدر هواءها وأشد بردها وأذاها وأشد مؤونتها وأقلّ خيرها وأكثر شرها، فقد سلط الله عليها الزمهرير الذي يعذب به أهل جهنم معما يحتاج الإنسان فيها من الدثار والمؤن المجحفة فوجوهكم يا أهل همذان مائلة وأنوفكم سائلة وأطرافكم خصرة وثيابكم متسخة وروائحكم قذرة ولحاكم دخانية وسبلكم منقطعة والفقر عليكم ظاهر والمستور في بلدكم مهتوك لأن شتاءكم يهدم الحيطان ويبرز الحصان ويفسد الطرق ويشعث الآطام، فطرقكم وحلة تتهافت فيها الدواب وتتقذر فيها الثياب وتتحطم الإبل وتخسف فيها الآبار وتفيض المياه وتكف السطوح وتهيج الرياح العواصف وتكون فيها الزلازل والخسوف والرعود والبروق والثلوج والدّمق فتنقطع عند ذلك السبل ويكثر الموت وتضيق المعايش، فالناس في جبلكم هذا في جميع أيام الشتاء يتوقعون العذاب ويخافون السخط والعقاب ثم يسمونه العدو المحاصر والكلب الكلب، ولذلك كتب عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، إلى بعض عماله: إنه قد أظلّكم الشتاء وهو العدو المحاصر فاستعدوا له الفراء واستنعلوا الحذاء، وقد قال الشاعر:
إذا جاء الشتاء فأدفئوني، ... فإن الشيخ يهدمه الشتاء
فالشتاء يهدم الحيطان فكيف الأبدان لا سيما شتاؤكم
الملعون، ثم فيكم أخلاق الفرس وجفاء العلوج وبخل أهل أصبهان ووقاحة أهل الريّ وفدامة أهل نهاوند وغلظ طبع أهل همذان على أن بلدكم هذا أشد البلدان بردا وأكثرها ثلجا وأضيقها طرقا وأوعرها مسلكا وأفقرها أهلا، وكان يقال أبرد البلدان ثلاثة: برذعة وقاليقلا وخوارزم، وهذا قول من لم يدخل بلدكم ولم يشاهد شتاءكم، وقد حدثني أبو جعفر محمد بن إسحاق المكتّب قال: لما قدم عبد الله بن المبارك همذان أوقدت بين يديه نار فكان إذا سخن باطن كفه أصاب ظاهرها البرد وإذا سخن ظاهرها أصاب باطنها البرد، فقال:
أقول لها ونحن على صلاء: ... أما للنار عندك حرّ نار؟
لئن خيّرت في البلدان يوما ... فما همذان عندي بالخيار
ثم التفت إلى ابن أبي سرح وقال: يا أبا عبد الله وهذا والدك يقول:
النار في همذان يبرد حرّها، ... والبرد في همذان داء مسقم
والفقر يكتم في بلاد غيرها، ... والفقر في همذان ما لا يكتم
قد قال كسرى حين أبصر تلّكم: ... همذان لا! انصرفوا فتلك جهنم
والدليل على هذا أن الأكاسرة ما كانت تدخل همذان لأن بناءهم متصل من المدائن إلى أزرميدخت من أسدآباذ ولم يجوزوا عقبة أسدآباذ، وبلغنا أن كسرى أبرويز همّ بدخول همذان فلما بلغ إلى موضع يقال له دوزخ دره، ومعناه بالعربية باب جهنم، قال لبعض وزرائه: ما يسمى هذا المكان؟ فعرّفه، فقال لأصحابه: انصرفوا فلا حاجة بنا إلى دخول مدينة فيها ذكر جهنم، وقد قال وهب بن شاذان الهمذاني شاعركم:
أما آن من همذان الرحيل ... من البلدة الحزنة الجامدة
فما في البلاد ولا أهلها ... من الخير من خصلة واحده
يشيب الشباب ولم يهرموا ... بها من ضبابتها الراكدة
سألتهم: أين أقصى الشتاء ... ومستقبل السنة الواردة؟
فقالوا: إلى جمرة المنتهى، ... فقد سقطت جمرة خامدة
وأيضا قد قال شاعركم:
يوم من الزمهرير مقرور ... على صبيب الضباب مزرور
كأنما حشوه جزائره ... وأرضه وجهها قوارير
يرمي البصير الحديد نظرته ... منها لأجفانه سمادير
وشمسه حرّة مخدّرة ... تسلّبت حين حمّ مقدور
تخال بالوجه من ضبابتها ... إذا حذت جلده زنابير
وقال كاتب بكر:
همذان متلفة النفوس ببردها ... والزمهرير، وحرّها مأمون
غلب الشتاء مصيفها وربيعها، ... فكأنما تموزها كانون
وسأل عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، رجلا: من أين أنت؟ فقال: من همذان، فقال: أما إنها مدينة همّ وأذى تجمد قلوب أهلها كما يجمد ماؤها، وقد قال شاعركم أيضا وهو أحمد بن بشّار يذم بلدكم وشدة برده وغلظ طبع أهله وما تحتاجون إليه من المؤن المجحفة الغليظة لشتائكم، وقيل لأعرابي دخل همذان ثم انصرف إلى البادية: كيف رأيت همذان؟
فقال: أما نهارهم فرقّاص وأما ليلهم فحمّال، يعني أنهم بالــنهار يرقصون لتدفأ أرجلهم وبالليل حمّالون لكثرة دثارهم، ووقع أعرابيّ إلى همذان في الربيع فاستطاب الزمان وأنس بالأشجار والأنهار، فلما جاء الشتاء ورد عليه ما لم يعهده من البرد والأذى فقال:
بهمذان شقيت أموري ... عند انقضاء الصيف والحرور
جاءت بشرّ شرّ من عقور، ... ورمت الآفاق بالهرير
والثلج مقرون بزمهرير، ... لولا شعار العاقر النزور
أمّ الكبير وأبو الصغير ... لم يدف إنسان من الخصير
ولقد سمعت شيخا من علمائكم وذوي المعرفة منكم أنه يقول: يربح أهل همذان إذا كان يوم في الشتاء صافيا له شمس حارّة مائة ألف درهم، وقيل لابنة الحسن: أيّما أشد الشتاء أم الصيف؟ فقالت: من يجعل الأذى كالزّمّانة! لأن أهل همذان إذا اتفق لهم في الشتاء يوم صاف فيه شمس حارّة يبقى في أكياسهم مائة ألف درهم لأنهم يربحون فيه حطب الوقود وقيمته في همذان ورساتيقها في كل يوم مائة ألف درهم، وقيل لأعرابي: ما غاية البرد عندكم؟ فقال: إذا كانت السماء نقيّة والأرض نديّة والريح شاميّة فلا تسأل عن أهل البريّة، وقد جاء في الخبر أن همذان تخرب لقلة الحطب، ودخل أعرابيّ همذان فلما رأى هواءها وسمع كلام أهلها ذكر بلاده فقال:
وكيف أجيب داعيكم ودوني ... جبال الثلج مشرفة الرّعان
بلاد شكلها من غير شكلي، ... وألسنها مخالفة لساني
وأسماء النساء بها زنان، ... وأقرب بالزّنان من الزواني
فلما بلغ عبد القاهر إلى هذا المكان التفت إليه ابن أبي سرح وقال له: قد أكثرت المقال وأسرفت في الذمّ وأطلت الثّلب وطوّلت الخطبة، ثم صمد للإجابة فلم يأت بطائل أكثر من ذكر المفاخرة بين الصيف والشتاء والحر والبرد، ووصف أن بلادهم كثيرة الزهر والرياحين في الربيع وأنها تنبت الزعفران، وأن عندهم أنواعا من الألوان لا تكون في بلاد غيرهم، وأن مصيف الجبال طيّب فلم أر الإطالة بالإتيان به على وجهه، قالوا: وأقبل عبيد الله بن سليمان بن وهب إلى همذان في سنة 284 بمائة ألف دينار وسبعين ألف دينار بالكفاية على أن لا مؤونة على السلطان، وهي أربعة وعشرون رستاقا: همذان، وفرواز، وقوهياباذ، واناموج، وسيسار، وشراة العليا، وشراة الميانج، والاسفيذجان، وبحر، واباجر، وارغين، والمغارة، واسفيذار، والعلم الأحمر، وارناد، وسمير، وسردروذ، والمهران، وكوردور، وروذه، وساوه، وكان منها بسا وسلفانروذ وخرّقان ثم نقلت إلى قزوين، وهي ستمائة وستون قرية، وعملها من باب الكرج إلى سيسر طولا،
وعرضا من عقبة أسدآباذ إلى ساوه، قالوا: ومن عجائب همذان صورة أسد من حجر على باب المدينة يقال إنه طلسم للبرد من عمل بليناس صاحب الطلسمات حين وجّهه قباذ ليطلسم آفات بلاده، ويقال إن الفارس كان يغرق بفرسه في الثلج بهمذان لكثرة ثلوجها وبردها، فلما عمل لها هذا الطلسم في صورة الأسد قلّ ثلجها وصلح أمرها، وعمل أيضا على يمين الأسد طلسما للحيّات وآخر للعقارب فنقصت وآخر للغرق فأمنوه وآخر للبراغيث فهي قليلة جدّا بهمذان، ولما عمل بليناس هذه الطلسمات بهمذان استهان بها أهلها فاتخذ في جبلهم الذي يقال له أروند طلسما مشرفا على المدينة للجفاء والغلظ فهم أجفى الناس وأغلظهم طبعا، وعمل طلسما آخر للغدر فهم أغدر الناس فلذلك حوّلت الملوك الخزائن عنها خوفا من غدر أهلها، واتخذ طلسما آخر للحروب فليست تخلو من عسكر أو حرب، وقال محمد بن أحمد السلمي المعروف بابن الحاجب يذكر الأسد على باب همذان:
ألا أيها الليث الطويل مقامه ... على نوب الأيام والحدثان
أقمت فما تنوي البراح بحيلة، ... كأنك بوّاب على همذان
أطالب ذحل أنت من عند أهلها؟ ... أبن لي بحقّ واقع ببيان
أراك على الأيام تزداد جدّة، ... كأنك منها آخذ بأمان
أقبلك كان الدهر أم كنت قبله ... فنعلم أم ربّيتما بلبان؟
وهل أنتما ضدّان كلّ تفرّدت ... به نسبة أم أنتما أخوان؟
بقيت فما تفنى وأفنيت عالما ... سطا بهم موت بكل مكان
فلو كنت ذا نطق جلست محدثا، ... وحدثتنا عن أهل كل زمان
ولو كنت ذا روح تطالب مأكلا ... لأفنيت أكلا سائر الحيوان
أجنّبت شر الموت أم أنت منظر ... وإبليس حتى يبعث الثقلان
فلا هرما تخشى ولا الموت تتّقى ... بمضرب سيف أو شباة سنان
وعمّا قريب سوف يلحق ما بقي، ... وجسمك أبقى من حرا وأبان
قال: وكان المكتفي يهمّ بحمل الأسد من باب همذان إلى بغداد وذلك أنه نظر إليه فاستحسنه وكتب إلى عامل البلد يأمره بذلك، فاجتمع وجوه أهل الناحية وقالوا: هذا طلسم لبلدنا من آفات كثيرة ولا يجوز نقله فيهلك البلد، فكتب العامل بذلك وصعّب حمله في تلك العقاب والجبال والمدور، وكان قد أمر بحمل الفيلة لنقله على العجلة، فلما بلغه ذلك فترت نيته عن نقله فبقي مكانه إلى الآن، وقال شاعر أهل همذان وهو أحمد بن بشار يذم همذان وشدة برده وغلظ طبع أهله وما يحتاجون إليه من المؤن المجحفة الغليظة لشتائهم:
قد آن من همذان السير فانطلق، ... وارحل على شعب شمل غير متّفق
بئس اعتياض الفتى أرض الجبال له ... من العراق وباب الرزق لم يضق
أما الملوك فقد أودت سراتهم ... والغابرون بها في شيمة السّوق
ولا مقام على عيش ترنّقه ... أيدي الخطوب، وشرّ العيش ذو الرّنق
قد كنت أذكر شيئا من محاسنها ... أيّام لي فنن كاس من الورق
أرض يعذّب أهلوها ثمانية ... من الشهور كما عذّبت بالرّهق
تبقى حياتك ما تبقى بنافعة ... إلّا كما انتفع المجروض بالدمق
فإن رضيت بثلث العمر فارض به ... على شرائط من يقنع بما يمق
إذا ذوى البقل هاجت في بلادهم ... من جربيائهم نشّافة العرق
تبشّر الناس بالبلوى وتنذرهم ... ما لا يداوى بلبس الدّرع والدّرق
تلفّهم في عجاج لا تقوم لها ... قوائم الفيل فيل الماقط الشّبق
لا يملك المرء فيها كور عمّته ... حتى تطيّرها من فرط مخترق
فإن تكلم لاقته بمسكنة ... ملء الخياشيم والأفواه والحدق
فعندها ذهبت ألوانهم جزعا، ... واستقبلوا الجمع واستولوا على العلق
حتى تفاجئهم شهباء معضلة ... تستوعب الناس في سربالها اليقق
خطب بها غير هين من خطوبهم ... كالخنق ما منه من ملجا لمختنق
أمّا الغنيّ فمحصور يكابدها ... طول الشتاء مع اليربوع في نفق
يقول أطبق وأسبل يا غلام وأر ... خ السّتر واعجل بردّ الباب واندفق
وأوقدوا بتنانير تذكرهم ... نار الجحيم بها من يصل يحترق
والمملقون بها سبحان ربهم ... ماذا يقاسون طول الليل من أرق!
صبغ الشتاء، إذا حلّ الشتاء بها، ... صبغ المآتم للحسّانة الفنق
والذئب ليس إذا أمسى بمحتشم ... من أن يخالط أهل الدار والنّسق
فويل من كان في حيطانه قصر ... ولم يخصّ رتاج الباب بالغلق
وصاحب النسك ما تهدا فرائصه، ... والمستغيث بشرب الخمر في عرق
أمّا الصلاة فودّعها سوى طلل ... أقوى وأقفر من سلمى بذي العمق
تمسي وتصبح كالشيطان في قرن ... مستمسكا من حبال الله بالرّمق
والماء كالثلج، والأنهار جامدة، ... والأرض أضراسها تلقاك بالدّبق
حتى كأنّ قرون الغفر ناتئة ... تحت المواطئ والأقدام في الطرق
فكلّ غاد بها أو رائح عجل ... يمشي إلى أهلها غضبان ذا حنق
قوم غذاؤهم الألبان مذ خلقوا، ... فما لهم غيرها من مطعم أنق
لا يعبق الطيب في أصداغ نسوتهم، ... ولا جلودهم تبتلّ من عرق
فهم غلاظ جفاة في طباعهم ... إلّا تعلّة منسوب إلى الحمق
أفنيت عمري بها حولين من قدر ... لم أقو منها على دفع ولم أطق
قلت: وهذه القصيدة ليست من الشعر المختار وإنما كتبت للحكاية عن شرح حال همذان، وللشعراء أشعار كثيرة في برد همذان ووصف أروند، فأما أروند فقد ذكر في موضعه، وأما الأشعار التي قيلت في بردها ففي ما ذكرنا كفاية، وقال البديع الهمذاني فيها:
همذان لي بلد أقول بفضله، ... لكنه من أقبح البلدان
صبيانه في القبح مثل شيوخه، ... وشيوخه في العقل كالصبيان
وقال شيرويه: قال الأستاذ أبو العلاء محمد بن عليّ بن الحسن بن حستون الهمذاني الوزير من قصيدة:
يا أيها الملك الذي وصل العلا ... بالجود والإنعام والإحسان
قد خفت من سفر أطلّ عليّ في ... كانون في رمضان من همذان
بلد إليه أنتمي بمناسبي، ... لكنه من أقذر البلدان
صبيانه في القبح مثل شيوخه، ... وشيوخه في العقل كالصبيان
وقال شيرويه أيضا: إن سليمان بن داود، عليه السلام، اجتاز بموضع همذان فقال: ما بال هذا الموضع مع عظم مسيل مائه وسعة ساحته لا تبنى فيه مدينة! فقالوا: يا نبيّ الله لا يثبت أحد فيه لأن البرد ينصبّ فيه صبّا ويسقط الثلج قامة الرمح، فقال، عليه السّلام، لصخر الجني: هل من حيلة؟
قال: نعم، فاتخذ سبعا من حجر منقور ونصب طلسما للبرد وبنى المدينة، وقيل: أول من أسسها دارا الأكبر، قال كعب الأحبار: متى أراد الله أن يخرّب هذه المدينة سقط ذلك الطلسم فتخرب بإذن الله، قال شيرويه: والسبع هو الأسد المنحوت من الحجر الخورزني، وخورزن: جبل بباب همذان الموضوع على الكثيب الذي على ذنب الأسد، وهذا الأسد من عجائب همذان منحوت من صخرة واحدة وجوارحه غير منفصلة عن قوائمه كأنه ليث غابة ولم يزل في هذا الموضع منذ زمن سليمان، عليه السّلام، وقيل: من زمان قباذ الأكبر لأنه أمر بليناس الحكيم بعمله إلى سنة 319 فإن مرداويج دخل المدينة ونهب أهلها وسباهم فقيل له إن هذا السبع طلسم لهذه المدينة من الآفات وفيه منافع لأهله، فأراد حمله إلى الرّيّ فلم يقدر فكسرت يداه بالفطّيس.

(K, TA.) A2: عَشَوْتُهُ also signifies I repaired, or betook myself, to, or towards, him, or it, by night: and hence ↓ عَاشٍ is applied to any one repairing, or betaking himself, to or towards [an object]. (S.) b2: And عَشَوْتُ إِلَى النَّارِ, aor. ـْ inf. n. عَشْوٌ, I sought to be directed, or guided, or I directed, or guided, myself, by weak eyesight, to the fire: (S:) or I looked at the fire, or endeavoured to see it, and repaired, or betook myself, to it, or towards it; and I saw it, or looked towards it trying whether I could see it, and sought to be directed, or guided, to it by its light: (Har p. 535:) El-Hotei-ah says, مَتَى تأْتِهِ تَعْشُو إِلَى ضَوْءِ نَارِهِ تَجِدْ خَيْرَ نَارٍ عِنْدَهَا خَيْرُ مُوقِدِ [When thou comest to him, looking with blinking eyes towards the light of his fire and seeking to be guided by it thereto, thou findest the best fire, and at it is the best kindler]; meaning مَتَى تَأْتِهِ عَاشِيًا; using the marfooa verb between two verbs whereof each is mejzoom because the verb in the future tense when it occurs in the place of a denotative of state is marfooa: (S:) or عَشَا النَّارَ and إِلَى

(TA.) b4: and عَشَوْتُ عَنْهُ I went, or turned, from him, or it, to another: whence, it is said, the saying in the Kur [xlii. 35], وَمَنْ يَعْشُ عَنْ ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمٰنِ [and such as turns from the admonition of the Compassionate].

[العشآء is there written in one instance for العَشَا.]) b6: عَشِىَ عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. عَشًا, means He wronged him; treated him wrongfully, injuriously, unjustly, or tyrannically: (K, TA:) mentioned by ISd. (TA.) 2 عَشَّوَ see 1, former half, in two places. One says, عَشِّ وَلَا تَغْتَرَّ, (Meyd, TA,) or عَشِّ إِبِلَكَ وَلَا تَغْتَرَّ [a prov., meaning Pasture thy camels by night, and be not negligent, or be not made to desire what is vain, or false]. (S. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 92.]) And عَشَّيْتُ الإِبِلَ عَنِ الوِرْدِ I pastured the camels with the [evening-pasture called]

عَشَآء, so that they might come to the water having satisfied themselves with food: and in like manner one says, ضَحَّيْتُهَا عَنْهُ. (A and TA in art. ضحو and ضحى.) And عَشِّ رُوَيْدًا Pasture thou the camels in the evening (عَشِيًّا) gently: and in like manner one says, ضَحِّ رُوَيْدًا. (A, TA.) and hence, عشّى عَنِ الأَمْرِ (inf. n. تَعْشِيَةٌ, K) (tropical:) He acted gently, or deliberately, in the affair: (A and TA in art. ضحو and ضحى, and S * and K * in the present art.:) and in like manner, ضَحَّى

عَنْهُ. (A and TA in the former art., and S * in the present art.) A2: See also the next paragraph. [Hence,] عشّى الطَّيْرَ, inf. n. تَعْشِيَةٌ, He kindled a fire for the birds in order that they might become dim-sighted (لِتَعْشَى) and consequently be captured. (M, K.) 4 أَعْشَوَ see 1, former half. b2: [Hence, app.,] اعشى also signifies (assumed tropical:) He gave. (K.) A2: And اعشاهُ He (God) rendered him أَعْشَى [i. e. weak-sighted, &c.: and in like manner one says ↓ عشّاهُ: see 2, last sentence; and see also Har p. 52].5 تَعَشَّوَ see 1, first quarter, in two places. One says also, تعشّى بِهِ He fed himself with it [in the evening, or] in the time called the عِشَآء: and [in like manner] تَتَعَشَّاهُ is said of camels [as meaning they feed themselves with it, or pasture upon it, in the evening]. (TA.) And when one says to thee, تَعَشَّ [Eat thou the evening-meal], thou sayest, مَا بِى تَعَشٍّ, (S,) or مَا بِى مِنْ تَعَشٍّ, (TA,) [I have no desire for eating the evening-meal; see 5 in art. غدو;] and not مَا بِى عَشَآءٌ, (S,) or not ما بي مِنْ عَشَآءٍ (TA.) A2: See also 6.

A3: And تعشّاهُ signifies also He gave him an عِشْوَة [or عُشْوَة, i. e. a firebrand]. (TA.) 6 تعاشى He feigned himself أَعْشَى [i. e. weaksighted, &c.; and so ↓ تعشّى as used by Bd in xliii.

35]. (S, TA.) b2: And [hence] (tropical:) He feigned himself ignorant, (K, TA,) عَنْ كَذَا [of such a thing], as though he did not see it; like تَعَامَى. (TA.) 8 اعتشى He journeyed in the time of the عِشَآء

(TA.) A2: And استعشى نَارًا He guided himself by means of a fire. (K.) عِشْوٌ A bowl (قَدَح) of milk which is drunk at the time when the sheep, or goats, return from the pasture in the evening or afternoon, or after that time. (K.) عِشْىٌ: see عَشَآءٌ.

عَشًا inf. n. of عَشِىَ: (S, Msb, K:) [used as a simple subst., Weakness of sight: or sightlessness by night with ability to see by day: or] badness of sight by night and by day; as also ↓ عَشَاوَةٌ: (K:) it is in human beings, and beasts of the equine kind (دَوَابّ), and camels, and birds; as is said in the M: (TA:) or it is darkness that happens to the eye: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or blindness; (K, TA;) i. e. absolute destitution of sight. (TA.) عَشٍ applied to a he-camel, and عَشِيَةٌ applied to a she-camel, That exceeds the other camels in the [evening-pasture, or evening-feed, called] عَشَآء; each after the manner of the possessive epithet, having no verb. (TA. [And عَشِىٌّ is said to have a similar meaning.]) A2: See also أَعْشَى.

عَشْوَةٌ Darkness, (K, TA,) in [any part of] the night and in the سَحَر [or period a little before daybreak]; (TA;) as also ↓ عَشْوَآءُ: (K:) or the first of the darkness of the night: (Az, TA:) or the period between the beginning and [the end of] the [first] quarter of the night: (Az, S, K:) thus in the saying, مَضَى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ عَشْوَةٌ [A period between the beginning &c. of the night passed]: and one says also, أَخَذْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالعَشْوَةِ, meaning [I laid hold upon them] in the blackness of night: (Az, S:) the dim. is ↓ عُشَيَّةٌ. (Az, TA.) In the saying جَآءَ عَشْوَةَ, meaning عِشَآءً [i. e. He came at nightfall], it [is an adv. n. which] may not be used otherwise than thus: you may not say, مَضَتْ عَشْوَةُ. (TA.) b2: العشوة [app. العَشْوَةُ] as meaning العَشَآءُ, like الغدوة [app. الغَدْوَةُ] as meaning الغَدَآءُ, is vulgar. (TA.) A2: Also The venturing upon, or embarking in, an affair that is not clear; as also ↓ عِشْوَةٌ and ↓ عُشْوَةٌ: (S, K:) one says, أَوْطَأْتَنِى عَشْوَةً and عِشْوَةً and عُشْوَةً, meaning [Thou hast made me to venture upon, or embark in,] a confused and dubious affair: this is when you tell him of a thing by means of which you have made him to fall into perplexity or trial. (S.) b2: خَبَّاطُ عَشَوَاتٍ, occurring in a trad., see expl. in art. خبط.

عَشْوَى A state of perplexity, and of having little guidance: so in the saying, إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى عَشْوَى أَمْرِهِمْ [or, perhaps, مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ, i. e. Verily they are in a state of perplexity, &c., in respect of their case, or affair]. (TA.) عَشَوِىٌّ Of, or relating to, the [time called]

عَشِيَّة [or عَشِىّ, q. v.]. (S.) عُشْوَانٌ A species of dates: (IDrd, K, TA:) or of palm-tress, (K, TA,) of such as are late in bearing. (TA.) عَشْيَانُ, (S, K, TA,) originally عَشْوَانُ, like غَدْيَانُ [q. v.] which is originally غَدْوَانُ, (TA,) A man (S) eating the [evening-meal, or eveningrepast, i. e. what is called the] عَشَآء; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓ عَاشٍ. (TA.) عَشَآءٌ The meal, or repast, (S, Msb, K,) of the عِشَآء [or nightfall], (S, * Msb,) or of the عَشِىّ [or late part of the evening, &c.]; (S, * K, TA;) [i. e. supper, in a general sense;] opposed to غَدَآءٌ; (S;) as also ↓ عِشْىٌ: (K: [in the CK, العِشٰى is erroneously put for العِشْىُ:]) and in like manner both are used in relation to camels [as meaning their evening-pasture, or evening-feed: see an ex. voce عَتَمَةٌ, and another voce أَقْعَسُ]: (S, TA:) pl. of the former أَعْشِيَةٌ; (K, TA;) to which is added, in [some of] the copies of the K, and عُشِىٌّ; but this is correctly عَشِىَ, [or عَشَا, as in some copies,] and commences another sentence. (TA.) عِشَآءٌ [The time of nightfall; i. e.] the first, or beginning, of the darkness (Msb, K) of night: (Msb:) [this is the sense in which it is generally used, and always when it is used as applied to one of the five times of the divinely-appointed acts of prayer; صَلَاةُ العِشَآءِ, and elliptically العِشَآءُ alone, meaning the prayer of nightfall:] or it is [the time] when the sun has disappeared: (Az, TA:) or [the time] from sunset (K) [i. e.] from the prayer of sunset (Msb, TA) to the عَتَمَة [or darkness after nightfall]; (Msb, K, TA;) [and this is what is meant by its being said that it is] syn. with عَشِىٌّ: (S:) or [the time] from the زَوَال [meaning the declining of the sun from the meridian] to the rising of the dawn: (S, K:) so some assert, and they cite, as an ex., غَدَوْنَا غُدْوَةً سَحَرًا بِلَيْلٍ

عِشَآءً بَعْدَ مَا انْتَصَفَ الــنَّهَارُ [We went early in the morning, a little before daybreak, in a period between the declining of the sun from the meridian and the rising of the dawn, after the daytime had become halved]: (S, TA:) [sometimes] the Arabs said, أَقْبَلَتِ العِشَآءُ, meaning العَشِيَّةُ; and هٰذَا العَشِيَّةُ, meaning العِشَآءُ. (Msb voce صَوْتٌ.) العِشَاآنِ means The time of sunset and the عَتَمَة [or darkness after nightfall]: (IF, S, Msb, K: [compare הָעַרְבַּיִם in Exodus xii. 6 and xvi. 12:]) this is accord. to the saying that the عِشَآء is from the prayer of sunset to the عَتَمَة. (TA.) عَشَاوَةٌ: see عَشًا.

عَشِىٌّ [The late part of the evening: or the evening: or the afternoon: i. e.] the last, or the latter, part of the day; (Mgh, Msb, K, TA;) as also ↓ عَشِيَّةٌ: (K, TA:) this is the meaning commonly known: (Mgh:) or [the time] from the prayer of sunset to the عَتَمَة [or darkness after nightfall]; (S, Msb, TA;) like عِشَآءٌ; (Msb;) and so ↓ عَشِيَّةٌ: you say, أَتَيْتُهُ عَشِىَّ أَمْسِ and أَمْسِ ↓ عَشِيَّةَ [I came to him late in the evening, or in the time between sunset and nightfall, &c., of yesterday]: (S, TA:) or عَشِىٌّ has the meaning expl. in the K [and mentioned above]; but ↓ عَشِيَّةٌ relates to one day: and one says, جِئْتُهُ عَشِيَّةً [I came to him late in an evening, &c.] and عَشِيَّةَ [late this evening, &c.], and أَتَيْتُهُ العَشِيَّةَ I came to him in the عشيّة [or late part of the evening, &c.,] of this day; and آتِيهِ عَشِىَّ غَدٍ [I will come to him in the late part of the evening, &c., of to-morrow (in my original اتيته, an obvious mistranscription,)] without ة when relating to the future; and أَتَيْتُكَ عَشِيًّا [I came to thee in the late part of an evening, &c.]; and أَتَيْتُهُ بِالغَدَاةِ وَالعَشِىِّ i. e. [I came to him early in the morning and late in the evening, &c., meaning,] every عَشِيَّة [or عَشِىّ] and غَدَاة: (TA:) or, as some say, ↓ عَشِيَّةٌ is a sing. [or n. un.] and عَشِىٌّ is its pl. [or a coll. gen. n.]: and, as IAmb says, sometimes the Arabs make ↓ عَشِيَّةٌ masc., as meaning عَشِىٌّ: (Msb:) or عَشِىٌّ signifies the time between the declining of the sun [from the meridian] and sunset: (Az, Mgh, Msb, TA:) or [the time] from the declining of the sun [from the meridian] to the صَبَاح [app. here, as generally, meaning morning]: (Er-Rághib, Msb, TA:) and sometimes it means the night: (TA:) the pl. is عَشَايَا and عَشِيَّاتٌ, (K, TA,) the former of which [is pl. of ↓ عَشِيَّةٌ, like the latter, or perhaps of عَشِىٌّ also, and] is originally عَشَايِوُ, then عَشَايِىُ, then عَشَائِىُ, then عَشَاءَى, and then عَشَايَا: (TA:) the dim, of عَشِىٌّ is ↓ عُشَيَّانٌ, irreg., as though formed from عَشْيَانٌ, and its pl. is عُشَيَّانَاتٌ; and another form of its dim. is ↓ عُشَيْشِيَانٌ, pl. عُشَيْشِيَانَاتٌ: and the dim. of ↓ عَشِيَّةٌ is ↓ عُشَيْشِيَةٌ, pl. عُشَيْشِيَاتٌ: (S, TA:) one says, ↓ لَقِيتُهُ عُشَيْشَةً

[another form of dim., properly meaning I met him in a short period of a late part of an evening, &c.], and [in like manner] ↓ عُشَيْشَانًا, and ↓ عُشَيَّانًا [in some copies of the K عشّانا], and ↓ عُشَيْشِيَةً

[accord. to the Mgh meaning عِشَآءً], and عُشَيْشَاتٍ, and عُشَيْشِيَانَاتٍ. (K.) صَلَاتَا العَشِىِّ [The two prayers of the afternoon] means the two prayers of the ظُهْر and the عَصْر; (Az, Mgh, Msb, K;) because they are in the latter part of the day (فِى آخِرِ الــنَّهَارِ), after the زَوَال [or declining of the sun from the meridian]. (TA.) In the phrase أَوْضُحَاهَا ↓ عَشِيَّةً [i. e. A late part of an evening, &c., or its early portion of the forenoon, meaning or an early portion of the forenoon of the same civil day], in the Kur lxxix. last verse, the ضحى is prefixed to [the pronoun referring to] the عشيّة because the ضحى and the عشيّة belong to the same [civil] day, [for this day is reckoned as the period from sunset to sunset,] (Ksh Bd, Jel, *) and also [by a kind of poetic license, for the sake of the rhyme, i. e.] because ضحاها occurs as a فَاصِلَة [q. v.]. (Jel.) b2: عَشِىٌّ also signifies, (K, TA,) and so does ↓ عَشِيَّةٌ, (K,) Clouds (K, TA) coming late in the evening or at eventide (عَشِيًّا). (TA.) b3: And the former, as an epithet applied to a camel, That continues long eating the عَشَآء

[i. e. evening-pasture, or evening-feed]: fem. with ة. (K. [See also عَشٍ.]) عَشِيَّةٌ: see عَشِىٌّ, in ten places.

عَاشٍ: see عَشْيَانُ. The fem., عَاشِيَةٌ, applied to camels, means Eating the [evening-pasture, or evening-feed, called the] عَشَآء. (ISk, S, K.) It is said in a prov., العَاشِيَةُ تَهِيجُ الآبِيَةَ [Such as are eating the عشآء excite such as desire not, or refuse; or she that is eating &c.]: i. e., when the camels that desire not, or refuse, the عشآء see those that are eating it, they follow them, and eat it with them. (S. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 83.]) And [the pl.] العَوَاشِى, (S, K, TA,) [when indeterminate, عَوَاشٍ,] as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates, (TA.) signifies Those (S, K, TA) camels, and sheep or goats, (K, TA,) that are pasturing by night. (S, K, TA.) b2: See also 1, former half. b3: [Hence,] عَاشِيَةٌ signifies also Anything [meaning any man or animal] looking and repairing, by night, towards the fire of a person who entertains guests. (TA.) أَعْشَى Weak-sighted: (Msb:) or sightless by night, but seeing by day: (S:) or having bad sight by night and by day: and so ↓ عَش: (K:) fem. عَشْوَآءُ, (S, Msb, K,) applied to a woman; (S, Msb;) [the masc. being applied to a man, and either masc. or fem. to a beast of the equine kind, and a camel, and a bird, (see عَشًا,)] and dual masc. أَعْشَيَانِ (TA) and fem. عَشْوَاوَانِ: (S, TA:) [and pl. عُشْىٌ.] b2: The fem. عَشْوَآءُ also particularly signifies. A she-camel that sees not before her, (S, K, TA,) [or that has weak sight,] and therefore strikes everything with her fore feet, (S, TA,) not paying attention to the places of her feet [on the ground]. (TA.) [Hence] one says, رَكِبَ فُلَانٌ العَشْوَآءَ, meaning (tropical:) Such a one prosecuted his affair without mental perception, or without certainty. (S, TA.) And خَبَطَهُ خَبْطَ عَشْوَآءَ (K, TA) (tropical:) He did it [at random, or] without aim; thus accord. to the M: (TA:) or be ventured upon it without mental perception, and without certainty: (K, * TA:) or, as some say, he took it upon himself without his endeavouring to ascertain the right course; the doing of which is sometimes, or often, attended with error: it is a prov., applied to him who goes at random and does not care for the result of his conduct. (TA. [See also 1 in art. خبط.]) b3: And عُقَابٌ عَشْوَآءُ An eagle that cares not how it beats the ground, and where it strikes with its talons. (TA.) b4: See also the fem. voce عَشْوَةٌ.

(K.) [In the K the pret. is twice mentioned: where it is explained as signifying the contr. of صَغُرَ, the above inf. ns. are mentioned, as in the A: where it is explained by عَظُمَ and جَسُمَ in the K, no inf. n. is mentioned; but in the TA it is there said that in the sense of عَظُمَ it relates to an affair or case, and that the inf. n. is كِبَرٌ and كَبَارَةٌ; and that in the sense of جَسُمَ it relates to anything.] b2: كَبُرَ الأَمْرُ [The affair, or case, was, or became, of great moment; it was, or became, momentous: or it signifies as in the phrase next following].

(A, * TA.) In this sense the verb is used in the Kur, x, 72, (TA,) and xlii, 11. (Bd, ii. 42.) and so in the Kur again, xvii, 53, أَوْ خَلْقًا مِمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِى صدُورِكُمْ, (TA,) meaning, أَوْخَلْقًا مِمَّا يَكْبُرُ عِنْدَكُمْ عَنْ قُبُولِ الحَيَاةِ [Or a created thing of those which are too difficult in your minds to receive life], as being the thing most remote from capability to receive life.

See أَكْبَرُ, below.3 كَابَرْتُهُ فَكَبَرْتُهُ, aor. of the latter كَبُرَ, [I contended, or disputed, with him for superiority in greatness, and I overcame him therein.] (A.)

(Kull, p. 342.) b3: It is said in a trad., لَاتُكَابِرُوا الصَّلَاةَ, meaning, لَا تُغَالِبُوهَا [app., Contend not ye against prayer.] (TA.) b4: كُوبِرَ فَأَبَى [It was contended with, and refused, or would not]: said of what he would utter by a man who had an impediment in his speech. (A.) b5: كَابَرَهُ عَلَى حَقِّهِ He denied, or disacknowledged, to him his right, or due, and contended with him for it; expl. by جَاحَدَهُ وَغَالَبَهُ. (A, TA.

(A, TA.) b2: تكبّر عَلَى اللّٰهِ He magnified himself against God, by refusing to accept the truth. (El-Basáïr.) b3: [تكبّر عَنْ كَذَا He was disdainful of such a thing; he disdained it; turned from it with disdain; he held himself above it; like تَعَظَّمَ and تَعَاظَمَ and تَجَالَّ and تَرَفَّعَ.]6 تَكَاْبَرَ see 5, in two places.10 إِسْتَكْبَرَ see 4: A2: see also 5, in two places.

(IKoot, Msb.) b2: Nobility; eminence; highness; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ كُبْرٌ: (K:) eminence, or highness, in, or with respect to, nobility; (K;) as also ↓ كُبُرٌ, with two dammehs. (TA.) b3: I. q. عَظَمَةٌ [which, as an attribute of God, signifies greatness, or majesty, or the like: (see مُنَكَبِّرٌ:) and as an attribute of a man, pride]: (S, Msb, K:) a subst. from التَّكَبُّرُ: (Msb:) as also ↓ كِبْرِيَآءُ; (S, Msb, K;) a word, says Kr, of which there is not the like [in measure], except سِيمِيَآءُ and جِرْبِيَآءُ; for, he adds, as to كِيمِيَآءُ, I think it a foreign word: (TA:) the latter [↓ كِبْرِيَاءُ] occurs as an attribute of God, in the sense of عَظَمَةٌ, (A, Mgh, Jel,) in the Kur, xlv. 36: (Jel:) and as an attribute of men, in the Kur, x. 79, where it is said to signify proud behaviour towards others, (Bd,) or dominion: (IAmb, Bd, Jel:) and both signify pride, haughtiness, or insolence: (K:) or the former, self-admiration, or self-conceit; and the holding one's self greater than others: and the ↓ latter, disdain of submission; an attribute to which none but God has a right. (El-Basáïr.) b4: Unbelief: the association of any other being with God. So in a trad., in which it is said, that he who has in his heart the weight of a grain of mustard-seed of كِبْر shall not enter paradise. (TA.) b5: See also كَبِيرَةٌ.

A2: The main, or greater, or greatest, part of a thing; (Fr. ISk, Az, S, Mgh, K;) as also ↓ كُبْرٌ, (Fr, Mgh, Sgh, K,) like عُظْمٌ; (Fr;) thought by Ibn-ElYezeedee to be a dial. form; but Az says, that the Arabs used the other form [كِبْرٌ]. (TA.) So in the Kur, xxiv. 11, وَالَّذِى تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ (Fr, S) And he who took upon himself, or undertook, the main part thereof; namely, of the very wicked lie against 'Áïsheh: (Jel:) thus accord. to the “ Seven Readers ”: and ↓ كُبْرَهُ, which is an extr. reading, (Msb,) the reading of Homeyd Ibn-El-Aaraj, (Fr, Sgh,) and of Yaakoob. (Sgh, Bd.) كُبْرُ سِيَاسَةِ النَّاسِ فِى المَالِ, [app. signifies The main part of men's management is with respect to property, or camels, &c.]. (S.) كَبَرٌ [The caper, or capparis of Linnæus;] a certain plant having thorns; (TA;) an arabicized word, from the Persian [كَبَرْ]; (S;) called in Arabic لَصَفٌ, (Mgh,) or أَصَفٌ: (S, K:) the vulgar say ↓ كُبَّارٌ. (K.) A beverage is described as made of كَبَر and barley: كثر is a mistranscription. (Mgh.) كُبُرٌ: see كِبْرٌ.

كِبَرٌ inf. n. of 1: b2: see also كَبْرَةٌ.

كُبُرٌّ: see كِبْرَةٌ.

كَبْرَةٌ, a subst. from كَبِرَ, (S,) Oldness; age; old age; (S, Msb, K; *) as also ↓ كَبُرَةٌ and ↓ مَكْبَرَةٌ and ↓ مَكبُرَةٌ (K) and ↓ مَكْبِرٌ (S, K) and ↓ كِبَرٌ. (TA.) The last two, the latter of which is the most common of all, are inf. ns. of كَبِرَ.] You say عَلَتْهُ كَبُرَةٌ, (S, Msb, K,) and كَبُرَةٌ, and مُكْبَرَةٌ, and مَكْبُرَةٌ, (K,) and عَلَاهُ المَكْبِرُ, (S,) or مَكْبِرٌ, (K,) and كِبَرٌ, (TA,) [Age overcame him;] he became old, or advanced in age. (Msb.) عَلَتْهُ كَبْرَةٌ is also said, tropically, of a sword, and of the iron head or blade of a weapon, when it has become old: (TA:) or of an old iron head or blade of a weapon when spoilt by rust. (M, TA.) And كَبْرَةٌ is used by AHn with respect to dates and the like. (L.) [See also an ex. voce حَلْقَةٌ.]

كِبْرَةٌ: see كَبِيرَةٌ.

A2: هُوَ كِبْرَتُهُمْ, (K,) and ↓ كُبُرَّتُهُمْ, (Az, K,) so in the handwriting of AHeyth., (TA,) and ↓ إِكْبِرَّتُهُمْ, and ↓ أَكْبِرَّتُهُمْ, and ↓ كُبْرُهُمْ, and ↓ كُبُرُّهُمْ, (K,) He is the greatest of them (K, TA) in age, or in headship: (TA:) or he is the nearest of them in kin to his chief, or oldest, ancestor; (K, TA;) his intermediate ancestors being fewer in number: (TA:) but some of these epithets are differently explained, as follows:] هٰذَا كِبْرَةُ أَبِيهِ this is the greatest, or oldest, (أَكْبَرُ,) of the children of his father; contr. of صِغْرَةُ أَبِيهِ: (A:) and هُوَ كِبْرَةُ وَلَدِ أَبَوَيْهِ he is the greatest, or oldest, (اكبر,) of the children of his parents: (Ks, Az:) or he is the last of the children of his parents; (Sh, S;) and the like is said of a female, (Sh, ISk, S,) and of a pl. number: (ISk, S:) it is like عِجْزَةُ وَلَدِ أَبَوَيْهِ: (Sh, A'Obeyd, S:) or, accord. to Ks and Az, this last phrase has this meaning; but Az says, that كِبْرَة means otherwise, namely, أَكْبَرُ: (TA:) and فُلَانٌ إِكْبِرَّةُ قَوْمِهِ such a one is the greatest, or oldest, (أَكْبَرُ,) of his people; and the like is said of a female, and of a pl. number: (S:) and قَوْمِهِ ↓ هُوَ كُبْرُ, (S,) or قَوْمِهِ ↓ أَكْبَرُ, and قَوْمِهِ ↓ أُكْبُرُّ, of the measure of أُفْعُلّ, and applied to a woman as to a man, (TA,) he is the nearest of his people in kin to his chief, or oldest, ancestor; (S, TA;) in which sense, قَوْمِهِ ↓ كَانَ كُبْرَ is said of El-'Abbás, in a trad., because there remained not, in his lifetime, any one of the descendants of Háshim more nearly related to him than he: (L:) and in another trad. it is said, الَولآءُ للكُبْرِ (S, Mgh, Msb) the right to the inheritance of the property left by an emancipated slave belongs to the nearest in kin [to the emancipater] (Mgh, Msb) of the sons of the emancipater; (Mgh;) i. e., when a man [who has emancipated a slave] dies, leaving a son and a grandson, the right to the inheritance of the property left by the emancipated slave belongs to the son, not the grandson. (S.) كَبُرَةٌ: see كَبْرَةٌ.

كِبْرِيَآءُ: see كِبْرٌ.

كِبْرِيتٌ: see art. كبرت.

كُبَارٌ: see كَبِيرٌ.

كَبِيرٌ Great [in body, or corporeal substance, and in estimation or rank or dignity; contr. of صَغِيرٌ, but see عَظِيمٌ]; (S, K;) as also كِبِيرٌ, as asserted by En-Nawawee and others, (TA,) and ↓ كُبَارٌ (S, K) [in an intensive sense, like عُطَامٌ,] and ↓ كَابِرٌ and ↓ كُبَّارٌ: (K:) or the last signifies excessively great: (S, TA:) and كَابِرٌ is an epithat applied to a man, and signifying great in dignity and nobility; (S, TA;) or great and noble; (Msb;) or one overcoming in greatness; (A;) or a lord, or chief; and the greatest, or oldest, ancestor: (AA:) the fem. [of كَبِيرٌ] is with ة: (K:) and the pl. is كِبَارٌ (S, K) and كُبَرَآءُ, applied to men, (TA,) and مَكْبُورَآءُ, (S, * K,) [or rather the last is a quasi-pl. n.,] like مَشْيُوخَآءُ; [see شَيْخٌ;] (TA;) and [of كُبَّارٌ] كُبَّارُونَ. (K.) [See also أَكْبَرُ, and مُتَكَبِّرٌ.] You say تَوَارَثُوا ↓ الْمَجْدَ كَابِرًا عَنْ كَابِرٍ They inherited by degrees dignity, or nobility, one great in dignity and nobility from another great in dignity and nobility: (S:) or one great and noble from another great and noble: (Msb:) or عَنْ is here used in the sense of بَعْدَ [after]: (TA voce طَبَقٌ:) or one overcoming in greatness from another overcoming in greatness. (A.) [In the A and Msb, instead of توارثوا, I find وَرِثُوا.] b2: Great, or advanced, in age; old: (A, Msb, TA:) and also big; meaning full-grown; and adolescent: (see كَبِرَ:) occurring in apposition to بَالِغٌ in art. برك in the S; and often, like بَالِغٌ, when applied to a human being, signifying one who has attained to puberty; opposed to صَغِيرٌ:] fem. with ة: and pl. كِبَارٌ. (Msb.) b3: [Hence,] A teacher, and master: so in the Kur, xx. 74, and xxvi. 48: (Ks:) and the most knowing, or learned, of a people: so in the Kur, xii. 80. (Mujáhid.) b4: Difficult, severe, grievous, distressing, afflictive, troublesome, or burdensome: (TA:) fem. with ة; occurring in this sense in the Kur, ii. 42. (Bd, TA.) [The fem. is often used in the present day as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates, meaning, An affair, or a matter, that is difficult, severe, grievous, &c.] b5: الكَبِيرُ as an epithet applied to God is syn. with العَظِيمُ [signifying The Incomparably-great]. (TA in art. عظم.) كَبِيرَة A foul, or an abominable, sin, or crime, or offence, forbidden by the law, of great magnitude; such as murder and adultery or forni-cation, and fleeing from an army proceeding against an enemy [of the Muslims], &c.; [contr. of صَغِيرَةٌ;] an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates: (TA:) and ↓ كِبْرٌ and ↓ كِبْرَةٌ [in like manner] signify a great sin, or crime, or offence, for which one deserves punishment: (M, K:) the ة is to give intensiveness to the signification: (TA:) or ↓ كِبْرٌ signifies [simply] a sin, a crime, or an offence, for which one deserves punishment, [as كَبِيرَةٌ is said, not well, to signify, in the Msb,] and is from كَبِيرَةٌ, like خِطْ from خَطِيْئَةٌ: (TA:) pl. of the first, كَبَائِرُ, (Msb, TA,) and كَبِيرَاتٌ also occurs. (Msb.) b2: And see كَبِيرٌ.

كُبَّارٌ: see كَبِيرٌ: A2: and see كَبَرٌ.

كِبَّارٌ: see 2.

كَابِرٌ: see كَبِيرٌ.

أَكْبَرُ [Greater, and greatest, in body, or corporeal substance, and in estimation or rank or dignity: and] more, or most, advanced in age; older, and oldest: (Msb:) fem. كُبْرَى: (S, Msb:) pl. masc. أَكَابِرُ (S, Msb) and أَكْبَرُونَ; but not كُبْرٌ, because this is of a form specially appropriated to an epithet such as أَسْوَدُ and أَحْمَرُ, and you do not use اكبر in the manner of such an epithet, for you do not say هٰذَا رَجُلٌ أَكْبَرُ, unless you conjoin it with a following word by مِنْ, or prefix to it the article ال: (S:) [but see the phrase دَعَا بِكُبْرِهِ, below:] the pl. fem. is كُبَرٌ (S, Msb, K) and كُبْرَيَاتٌ. (Msb.) b2: أَكْبَرُ is also used in the sense of كَبِيرٌ: (Msb:) accord. to some, اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَر means God is great; (Az, Mgh, Msb;) like as هُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ [in the Kur, xxx. 26,] means هُوَ هَيِّنٌ عَلَيْهِ; (Az, TA;) but this explanation is of weak authority: (Mgh:) accord. to others, the phrase is elliptical, and means God is the greatest great [being]: (Az, TA:) or God is greater than every [other] great [being]: (Msb:) or greater than every [other] thing: (Mgh, TA:) or greater than such as that one knows the measure of His majesty: (TA:) [or it may be rendered God is most great, meaning, greater than any other being:] it is considered as elliptical because it is necessary that اكبر should have the article ال, or be followed by a noun in the gen. case [or by the prep. مِنْ]. (TA.) In the phrase اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيراً, the word كبيرا is put in the accus. case [as a corroborative] in the place of the inf. n. تَكْبِيراً, as though one said أُكَبِّرُ تَكْبِيرًا [I magnify Him greatly, after saying اللّٰه اكبر]. (TA.) b3: يَوْمُ الحَجِّ الأَكْبَرِ [The day of the greater pilgrimage,] means the day of the sacrifice: or, as some say, the day of 'Arafeh: and others say otherwise. (TA.) b4: In the following words, in a trad. of Mázin, بُعِثَ نَبِىٌّ مِنْ مُضَرَ بِدِينِ اللّٰهِ الكُبَرِ, there is an ellipsis, and the meaning is, بِشَرَئِعِ دِينِ اللّٰهِ الكُبَرِ [A prophet of Mudar hath been sent with the greatest, or greater, or great, ordinances of God]. (TA.) b5: In a trad. respecting burial, وَيُجْعَلُ الْأَكْبَرُ مِمَّا يَلِى الْقِبْلَةَ means, And the most excellent shall be placed towards the Kibleh: or, if they be equal [in dignity], the oldest. (TA.) [Agreeably with the former rendering,] أَكْبَرُ, in the Kur, xxix. 44, is explained as signifying Better. (TA, art. ذكر.) [And agreeably with the second rendering of the above trad.,] you say هٰذَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ زَيْدٍ, meaning, This is older than Zeyd. (Msb.) b6: In a trad. of Ibn-Ez-Zubeyr, the phrase دَعَا بِكُبْرِهِ means He summoned his sheykhs, and elders, or great men: كُبْر being here [notwithstanding what has been said above,] pl. of أَكْبَرُ, like as حُمْرٌ is pl. of أَحْمَرُ. (TA.) b7: هٰذِهِ الجَارِيَةُ مِنْ كُبْرَى بَنَاتِ فُلَانٍ means, [This girl is of those advanced in age of the daughters of such a one,] مِنْ كِبَارِ بَنَاتِهِ. (Ibn-Buzurj.) b8: هُوَ أَكْبَرُ قَوْمِهِ: see كِبْرَةٌ.

أُكْبُرٌّ: see كِبْرَةٌ.

إِكْبِرَّةٌ and أَكْبِرَّةٌ: see كِبْرَةٌ; the former, in two places.

مَكْبِرٌ: see كَبْرَةٌ.

مَكْبَرَةٌ and مَكْبُرَةٌ: see كَبْبَرةٌ.

هُوَ مُكَابَرٌ عَلَيْهِ He has had it (his property) taken from him by force. (A, TA.) المُتَكَبِّرُ, as an epithet applied to God, signifies The Great in majesty: (A:) or the Most Excellent of beings, who has rights which no other has; the Possessor of power and excellence the like of which no other possesses: (TA:) or He whose acts are really good, exceeding the good acts of any other: (El-Basáïr:) or, as also ↓ الكَبِيرُ, the Majestic: or He who disdains having the attributes of created beings: or He who magnifies Himself against the proud and exorbitant among his creatures: the ت in the former word is to denote individuation, not endeavour. (TA.)

A4: رَجَلَهَا, namely, the mother of a young camel, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. رَجْلٌ, (TA,) He sent the young one with her [to suck her whenever he would; as is implied by what immediately precedes]; as also ↓ أَرْجَلَهَا: (K:) or الفَصِيلَ ↓ أَرْجَلْتُ (so in two copies of the S and in the O) I left the young camel with his mother to such her whenever he pleased: (S, * O: [in one of my copies of the S رَجَلْتُ, which appears from what here follows to be a mistake:]) so says ISk: and he cites as an ex., حَتَّى فُطِمَا ↓ مُسَرْهَدٌ أُرْجِلَ [Fat, and well nourished: he was left with his mother to such her when he pleased until he was weaned]. (O.) [See also رَجَلٌ, below; where it is explained as though a quasi-inf. n. of أَرْجَلْتُ in the sense here assigned to it in the S and O, or inf. n. of رَجَلْتُ in the same sense.] b2: And رَجَلَ

أُمَّهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. رَجْلٌ, (S,) He (a young camel, S, or a lamb, or kid, or calf, K, TA) sucked his mother. (S, K.) b3: رَجَلٌ also signifies The act of [the stallion's] leaping the mare: (O, K, TA:) [i. e., as inf. n. of رَجَلَ; for] one says, بَاتَ الحِصَانُ يُرْجُلُ الخَيْلَ The stallion-horse passed the night leaping the mares. (TA; and so in the O, except that الخيل is there omitted.) b4: And رَجَلَ المَرْأَةَ He compressed the woman. (TA.) A5: [Golius says that رَجُلَ signifies Vir et virili animo fuit; as on the authority of J; and that رُجْلَةٌ is its inf. n.: but it seems that he found الرُّجْلَةُ incorrectly explained in a copy of the S as مَصْدَرُ رَجُلَ instead of مَصْدَرُ الرَّجُلِ: ISd expressly says that رُجْلَةٌ and its syns. (explained below) are of the number of those inf. ns. that have no verbs.]2 رَجَّلَتْ وَلَدَهَا [app. a mistranscription]: see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph.

A2: تَرْجِيلٌ [the inf. n.] signifies The making, or rendering, strong. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) A3: رجّل الشَّعَرَ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَرْجِيلٌ, (S, Msb, K,) He made the hair to be [wavy, or somewhat curly, i. e.] not very crisp or curly, nor lank, (S,) or in a state between that of lankness and that of crispness or curliness: (K:) or he combed the hair; (Msb, TA;) either his own hair, [see 5,] or that of another: (Msb:) or he combed down the hair; i. e., let it down, or made it to hang down, by means of the comb: (Mgh:) Er-Rághib says, as though he made it to descend at the رِجْل [or foot], i. e. from its places of growth; but this requires consideration: (MF:) or he combed and anointed the hair: (TA voce عَسِبٌ:) or he washed and combed the hair. (Ham p. 356.) 4 ارجلهُ He made him to go on foot; (S, K, TA;) to alight from his beast. (TA.) A2: and He granted him some delay, or respite; let him alone, or left him, for a while. (S, K.) b2: أَرْجَلْتُ الحِصَانَ فِى الخَيْلِ I sent-the stallion-horse among the mares. (TA.) b3: See also 1, in the latter half of the paragraph, in three places.5 تَرَجَّلَ see 1, first sentence, in two places. b2: ترجّل فِى البِئْرِ, (S, Msb, K,) and ترجّل البِئْرَ, (K,) He descended into the well (S, Msb, K) [by means of his feet, or legs, alone, i. e.,] without his being let down, or lowered, or suspended [by means of a rope]. (S, Msb.) b3: ترجّل الزَّنْدَ, and ↓ ارتجلهُ, [or, more probably, ارتجل الزَّنْدَةَ, and ترجّلها, (see مُرْتَجِلٌ,)] He put the زند [or the زندة; (the former meaning the upper, and the latter the lower, of the two pieces of wood used for producing fire,)] beneath his feet: (M, K:) or ↓ ارتجل signifies he (a man come from a distant country) struck fire, and held the زَنْد [here app. meaning (as in many other instances) the زند properly so called and the زندة] with his hands and his feet, [i. e. the زند with his hands and the زندة with his feet,] because he was alone. (TA. [See مُرْتَجِلٌ.]) A2: [ترجّل He became a رَجُل, or man; he rose to manhood. (See an explanation of ترجّل الــنَّهَارُ, in what follows.) And] ترجّلت She (a woman, TA) became like a رَجُل [or man] (K, TA) in some of her qualities, or states, or predicaments. (TA.) b2: ترجّل الــنَّهَارُ i. q. اِرْتَفَعَ (tropical:) [i. e. The day became advanced, the sun being somewhat high]; (S, IAth, O, K, TA;) it being likened to the rising of a man from youth; (IAth, TA;) and so الــنهار ↓ ارتجل: or, accord. to Er-Rághib, the former means the sun went down from [or below] the walls; as though it alighted (كَأَنَّهَا تَرَجَّلَتْ [in a proper sense of this verb: see 1, first sentence]). (TA.) A3: and ترجّل He combed his own hair: (Msb:) or he combed down his own hair; i. e., let it down, or made it to hang down, by means of the comb: (Mgh:) or he anointed [or washed] and combed his own hair. (TA. [See 2.]) Hence, نَهَى

عَنِ التَّرَجُّلِ إِلَّا غِبًّا (Mgh, TA) He [Mohammad] forbade the anointing and combing of one's own hair except it be less frequent than every day. (TA.) 8 ارتجل: see 1, first sentence. b2: Said of a horse, (in his running, TA,) He mixed the pace termed العَنَق with that termed الهَمْلَجَة, (T, TA,) or the former pace with somewhat of the latter, and thus, (S,) he went those two paces alternately, (S, K,) somewhat of the former and somewhat of the latter. (S.) A2: He took a man by his رِجْل [i. e. leg, or foot]. (S, TA.) b2: ارتجل الشَّاةَ: see 1, in the middle of the paragraph. b3: ارتجل الرَّنْدَ [or الزَّنْدَةَ], and ارتجل alone in a similar sense: see 5, in two places.

A3: [He extemporized a speech or verses; spoke it or them extemporaneously, impromptu, or without premeditation;] he began an oration (a خُطْبَة), and poetry, without his having prepared it beforehand; (S;) he spoke a speech (Msb, K) without consideration or thought, (Msb,) or without his having prepared it; (K;) he recited it, or related it, standing, without forecast, consideration, thought, or meditation; so accord. to Er-Rághib [who seems to have held this to be the primary signification of the verb when relating to a speech or the like]; or without reiteration, and without pausing, halting, or hesitating. (TA.) and ارتجل الشَّىْءَ [He did, performed, or produced, the thing without premeditation, or previous preparation]. (TA in art. خرع.) [And ارتجل اسْمًا He coined a name.] b2: ارتجل بِرَأْيِهِ He was, or became, alone, or independent of others, with none to take part or share or participate with him, in his opinion, (Msb, K, TA,) without consulting any one respecting it, (Msb, TA,) and kept constantly, or perseveringly, to it. (Msb.) [Hence,] أَمْرُكَ مَا ارْتَجَلْتَ Thine affair [to which thou shouldst keep] is that respecting which thou art alone [&c.] in thine opinion. (K.) and اِرْتَجِلْ مَا ارْتَجَلْتَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ is explained in the T as meaning اِرْكَبْ مَا رَكِبْتَ مِنْهُ [i. e. Undertake thou what thou hast undertaken of the affair: but it may rather signify keep thou to what thou hast undertaken of the affair; agreeably with what here follows]. (TA.) One says also, ↓ اِرْتَجِلْ رَجْلَكَ Keep thou to thine affair: (IAar, M, K, TA:) in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, رَجَلَكَ. (TA.) A4: He collected a detached number (قِطْعَة [or رِجْل]) of locusts, to roast, or fry, them. (S.) A5: He set up a مِرْجَل [q. v.], to cook food in it: (T, TA:) or he cooked food in a مِرْجَل. (K.) A6: ارتجل الــنَّهَارُ: see 5.10 استرجل He desired, or requested, to be, or to go, on foot. (KL.) رَجْلٌ: see رَجُلٌ: b2: and رَاجِلٌ; the latter in two places.

A2: See also رَجِلٌ, in two places.

A3: اِرْتَجِلْ رَجْلَكَ, in some of the copies of the K, erroneously, رَجَلَكَ: see 8, near the end of the paragraph.

رِجْلٌ [The leg of a human being and of a bird, and the kind leg of a quadruped; in each of these senses opposed to يَدٌ;] the part from the root of the thigh to the [sole of] the foot of a man [and of any animal]; (Mgh, Msb, K:) رِجْلُ الإِنْسَانِ meaning that [limb] with which the man walks: (Msb:) or the foot of a man [and of a bird, and the kind foot of a quadruped: or rather it signifies thus in many instances; but generally as before explained: and sometimes, by a synecdoche, it is used in a yet larger sense, as will be explained below]: (K:) of the fem. gender: (Zj, Msb, TA:) pl. أَرْجُلٌ: (S, Msb, K, &c.:) it has no other pl. (Msb, TA) known to Sb; (TA;) the pl. of pauc. being also used as a pl. of mult. in this instance. (IJ, TA.) [Hence,] الرِّجْلُ جُبَارٌ [The hind leg or foot, or it may here mean the leg or foot absolutely, is a thing of which no account, or for which no retaliation or mulct, is taken]: i. e., if a beast tread upon a man with its رِجْل, there is no retaliation or mulct, if in motion; but if the beast be standing still in the road, or way, the rider is responsible, whether it strike with a يَد or a رِجْل. (TA.) And هُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رِجْلٍ [lit. He is standing upon a single leg; meaning] (assumed tropical:) he is setting about, or betaking himself to, an affair that presses severely, or heavily, upon him, or that straitens him. (T, K, TA. [In the CK, حَزَنَهُ is erroneously put for حَزَبَهُ.]) And أَنَا عَلَى رِجْلٍ (assumed tropical:) I am in fear, or fright, lest a thing should escape me.

(TA.) Also A certain mode of binding the udder of a camel, so that the young one cannot suck, therewith, nor will it undo: (S, K:) whence the phrase صَرَّ رِجْلَ الغُرَابِ, for صَرَّ صَرًّا مِثْلَ صَرِّرِجْلِ الغُرَابِ. (TA.) El-Kumeyt says, صَرَّ رِجْلَ الغُرَابِ مُلْكُكَ فِى النَّا سِ عَلَى مَنْ أَرَادَ فِيهِ الفُجُورَا (assumed tropical:) [Thy dominion among the people has bound with a bond not to be undone him who desires, within the scope of it, transgression]: (S, TA:) i. e. thy dominion has become firm so that it cannot be undone; like as what is termed رجل الغراب cannot be undone by the young camel. (TA.) And one says, صُرَّ عَلَيْهِ رِجْلُ الغُرَابِ, meaning (tropical:) The affair was, or became, difficult to him: (K and TA in art. غرب:) or his life, or subsistence, was, or became, difficult to him. (TA in that art.) b5: رِجْلُ الجَرَادِ (assumed tropical:) A certain plant, like البَقْلَةُ اليَمَانِيَّةُ [see art. بقل: accord. to Golius, the former appellation is applied to a species of atriplex, or orache]. (IAar, K.) b6: [And several other plants have similar appellations in the present day.] b7: رِجْلُ الطَّائِرِ (assumed tropical:) A certain مِيسَم [i. e. branding-instrument, or brand]. (S, K.) b8: رِجْلُ البَابِ (assumed tropical:) The foot, or heel, of the door, upon which it turns in a socket in the threshold. (MA.) b9: رِجْلُ القَوْسِ (assumed tropical:) The lower curved extremity of the bow; (Kh, S, K;) the upper curved extremity being called its يَد: (Kh, S:) or the part below its كَبِد [q. v.]: accord. to AHn, it is more complete, or perfect, than its يد: accord. to IAar, أَرْجُلُ القَوْسِ means, when the string is bound, or braced, the upper parts of the bow; and أَيْدِيهَا, its lower parts; and the former are stronger than the latter: and he cites the saying, لَيْتَ القِسىَّ كُلُّهَا مِنْ أَرْجُلِ [Would that the bows were all of them, or wholly, of what are termed أَرْجُل]: the two extremities of the bow, he says, are called its ظُفْرَانِ; and its two notches, its فُرْضَتَانِ; and its curved ends, its سِئَتَانش; and after the سئتان are the طَائِفَانِ; and after the طائفان, the أَبْهَرَانِ; and the portion between the ابهران is its كَبِد; this being between the two knots of the suspensory. (TA.) b10: رِجْلَا السَّهْمِ (assumed tropical:) The two extremities of the arrow. (K, * TA. [In the former it is implied that the phrase is رِجْلُ السَّهْمِ.]) b11: رِجْلُ بَحْرٍ (tropical:) A canal (خليج) of a بحر [or large river]. (Kr, K, TA.) b12: رِجْلٌ also signifies (tropical:) A part, or portion, of a thing: (K, TA:) of the fem. gender. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of 'Áïsheh, أَهْدَى لَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ رِجْلَ شَاةٍ مَشْوِيَّةٍ فَقَسَمْتُهَا إِلَّا كَتِفِهَا, meaning (tropical:) [Aboo-Bekr gave to us] the half of a roasted sheep, or goat, divided lengthwise [and I divided it into shares, except its shoulder-blade, or its shoulder]: she called the half thus by a synecdoche: (IAth, O, TA:) or she meant the leg (رجْل) thereof, with what was next to it [for مما يَلِيهَا in the O and TA, I read بِمَا يَلِيهَا] of the lateral half: or she thus alluded to the whole thereof, like as one does by the term رَأْس. (O, TA. [But see what here next follows.]) And in another trad., the رِجْل of a [wild] ass is mentioned as a gift, meaning (tropical:) One of the two lateral halves: or, as some say, the thigh: (TA:) and it is explained as meaning the whole; but this is a mistake. (Mgh.) b13: Also (assumed tropical:) The half of a رَاوِيَة [or pair of leathern bags, such as are borne by a camel, one on each side,] of wine, and of olive-oil. (AHn, K.) b14: It is also applied by some to (assumed tropical:) A pair of trousers or drawers; and رِجْلُ سَرَاوِيلَ occurs in this sense in a trad., for رِجْلَا سَرَاوِيلَ; like زَوْجُ خُفٍّ and زَوْجُ نَعْلٍ, whereas each is properly زَوْجَانِ; for the سراويل are of the articles of clothing for the two legs: (IAth, TA:) this is what is meant by the saying in the K [and in the O likewise] that الرِّجْلُ also signifies السَّرَاوِيلُ [app. for مِنَ السَّرَاوِيلِ الطَّاقُ]. (TA.) b15: Also (assumed tropical:) A swarm, or numerous assemblage, of locusts: (S:) or a detached number (قِطْعَةٌ) thereof: (K:) [or] one says [or says also] رِجْلُ جَرَادٍ, (S, TA,) and رِجْلٌ مِنْ جَرَادٍ: it is masc. and fem.: (TA:) a pl. without a proper sing.; like عَانَةٌ (a herd of [wild] asses, S) and خِيطٌ (a flock of ostriches, S) and صُِوَارٌ (a herd of [wild] bulls or cows, S): (S, K:) pl. أَرْجَالٌ; (K:) and so in the next two senses here following. (TA.) b16: And hence, as being likened thereto, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) An army: (K:) or a numerous army. (TA.) b17: Also (assumed tropical:) A share in a thing. (IAar, K.) So in the saying, لِى فِى

مَالِكَ رِجْلٌ (assumed tropical:) [To me belongs a share in thy property]. (TA.) b18: And (tropical:) A time. (TA.) One says, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلِى رِجْلِ فُلَانٍ (tropical:) That was in the time of such a one; (S, K, TA;) in his life-time: (K, TA:) like the phrase على رَأْسِ فُلَانٍ. (TA.) b19: Also (assumed tropical:) Precedence. (Abu-l- Mekárim, K.) When the files of camels are collected together, an owner, or attendant, of camels says, لِىَ الرِّجْلُ, i. e. (assumed tropical:) [The precedence belongs to me; or] I precede: and another says, لَا بَلِ الرِّجْلُ لِى (assumed tropical:) [Nay, but the precedence belongs to me]: and they contend together for it, each unwilling to yield it to the other: (Abu-l-Mekárim, TA:) pl. أَرْجَالٌ: (K:) and so in the senses here following. (TA.) b20: And (assumed tropical:) Distress; straitness of the means of subsistence or of the conveniences of life; a state of pressing want; misfortune; or calamity; and poverty. (O, K.) A2: Also A man who sleeps much: (O, K:) fem. with ة. (TA.) b2: And A man such as is termed قَاذُورَةٌ [which means foul in language; evil in disposition: one who cares not what he does or says: very jealous: one who does not mix, or associate as a friend, with others, because of the evilness of his disposition, nor alight with them: &c.: see art. قذر]. (O, K.) A3: Also Blank paper; (O, K, * TA;) without writing. (TA.) رَجَلٌ: see رَاجِلُ, first sentence: A2: and see also رَجِلٌ, in two places.

A3: [It is also explained as here follows, as though a quasi-inf. n. of 4 in a sense mentioned in the first paragraph on the authority of the S and O, or inf. n. of رَجَلَ in the same sense; thus:] The sending, (S, O,) or leaving, (K, TA,) a lamb or kid or calf, (S, O, TA,) or a young camel, (K, TA,) and a colt, (TA,) with its mother, to such her whenever it pleases: (S, O, K:) [but I rather think that this is a loose explanation of the meaning implied by رَجَلٌ used as an epithet; for it is added in the S and O immediately, and in the K shortly after, that] one says بَهْمَةٌ رَجَلٌ (S, O, K) and ↓ رَجِلٌ (K) [meaning, as indicated in the S and O, A lamb, or hid, or calf, sent with its mother to such her whenever it pleases, or, as indicated in the K, sucking, or that sucks, its mother]: pl. أَرْجَالٌ. (S, O, K.) b2: Also A horse [i. e. a stallion] sent upon the خَيْل [meaning mares, to leap them]: (K:) and in like manner one says خَيْلٌ رَجَلٌ, [using it as a pl., app. meaning horses so sent,] (K accord. to the TA,) or ↓ خَيْلٌ رَجِلَةٌ. (CK, and so in my MS. copy of the K: [perhaps it should be رَجَلَةٌ.]) رَجُلٌ (S, O, Mgh, Msb, K &c.) and ↓ رَجْلٌ, (O, K,) the latter a dial. var., (O,) or, accord. to Sb and El-Fárisee, a quasi-pl. n., [but app. of رَاجِلٌ, not of رَجُلٌ,] called by Abu-l-Hasan a pl., (TA,) A man, as meaning the male of the human species; (Msb;) the opposite of اِمْرَأَةٌ: (S, O, Mgh:) applied only to one who has attained to puberty and manhood: (K, * TA:) or as soon as he is born, (K, TA,) and afterwards also: (TA:) pl. رِجَالٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) [applied in the Kur lxxii. 6 to men and to jinn (or genii), like نَاسٌ and أُنَاسٌ, and likewise a pl. of رَاجِلٌ, and of its syn. رَجْلَانُ,] and رجَالَاتٌ, (S, K,) said by some to be a pl. pl., (TA,) and ↓ رَجْلَةٌ, (Sb, Msb, K, TA, in the CK رِجْلَةٌ, [which is a mistake, as is shown by what follows,]) of the measure فَعْلَةٌ, with fet-h to the ف, (Msb,) [but this is, properly speaking, a quasi-pl. n.,] said to be the only instance of its kind except كَمْأَةٌ, which, however, some say is a n. un. like others of the same form belonging to [coll.] gen. ns., (Msb,) used as a pl. of pauc. instead of أَرْجَالٌ, (Sb, Ibn-Es-Serráj, Msb, TA,) because they assigned to رَجُلٌ no pl. of pauc., (Sb, TA,) not saying أَرْجَالٌ (TA) [nor رِجْلَةٌ], and ↓ رَجِلَةٌ, mentioned by Az as another pl., but this [also] is a quasi-pl. n., and of it Abu-l-' Abbás holds ↓ رَجْلَةٌ to be a contraction, (TA,) and رِجَلَةٌ (Ks, K) and أَرَاجِلُ (Ks, S, K) and [another quasi-pl. n. is] ↓ مَرْجَلٌ. (IJ, K.) شَهِيدَيْنِ مِنْ رِجَالِكُمْ, in the Kur [ii. 282], means [Two witnesses] of the people of your religion. (TA.) [رَجُلٌ also signifies A woman's husband: and the dual] رَجُلَانِ [sometimes] means A man and his wife; predominance being thus attributed to the former. (IAar, TA.) And ↓ رَجُلَةٌ signifies A woman: (S, K:) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, a woman who is, or affects to be, or makes herself, like a man in some of her qualities, or states, or predicaments. (TA.) It is said of 'Áïsheh, (S, TA,) in a trad., which confirms this latter explanation, (TA,) كَانَتْ الرَّأْىِ, ↓ رَجُلَةَ, (S, TA,) meaning She was like a man in judgment. (TA. [See also مَرْجَلَانِيَّةٌ.]) The dim. of رَجُلٌ is ↓ رُجَيْلٌ and ↓ رُوَيْجِلٌ: (S, K:) the former reg.: (TA:) the latter irreg., as though it were dim. of رَاجِلٌ: (S, TA:) [but it seems that رُوَيْجِلٌ is properly the dim. of رَاجِلٌ, though used as that of رَجُلٌ.] One says, هُوَ رَجُلُ وَحْدِهِ [He is a man unequalled, or that has no second], (IAar, L in art. وحد,) and وَحْدِهِ ↓ رُجَيْلُ [A little man (probably meaning the contrary) unequalled, &c.]. (S and L in that art.) and it is said in a trad., إِنْ صَدَقَ ↓ أَفْلَحَ الرُّوَيْجِلُ [The little man prospers if he speak truth] (TA.) b2: Also One much given to coition: (Az, O, K:) used in this sense by the Arabs of ElYemen: and some of the Arabs term such a one عُصْفُورِىٌّ. (O, TA.) b3: And i. q. رَاجِلٌ, q. v. (Mgh, Msb, K.) b4: And Perfect, or complete [in respect of bodily vigour or the like]: ('Eyn, O, K, TA: [in the CK, والرّاجِلُ الكَامِلُ is erroneously put for والراَجل والكامل:]) or strong and perfect or complete: sometimes it has this meaning, as an epithet: and when thus used, Sb allows its being in the gen. case in the phrase, مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ رَجُلٍ أَبُوهُ [I passed by a man whose father is strong &c.]; though the nom. case is more common: he says, also, that when you say, هُوَ الرَّجُلُ, you may mean that he is perfect or complete, or you may mean any man that speaks and that walks upon two legs. (M, TA.) A2: [In the CK, شَعَرٌ رَجُلٌ is erroneously put for شَعَرٌ رَجْلٌ: and, in the same, رَجُلُ الشَّعَرِ, as syn. with رَجِلُ الشَّعَرِ, is app. a mistake for رَجْلُ الشَّعَرِ; but it is mentioned in this sense by 'Iyád:] see the paragraph here following.

رَجِلٌ; and its fem., with ة: see رَاجِلٌ.

A2: شَعَرٌ رَجِلٌ (ISk, S, Msb, K) and ↓ رَجَلٌ (ISk, S, K) and ↓ رَجْلٌ, (Msb, K, [in the CK, erroneously, رَجُلٌ,]) Hair [that is wavy, or somewhat curly, i. e.] of a quality between [بَيْنَ, for which بَيِّنُ is erroneously put in the CK,] lankness and crispness or curliness, (K,) or not very crisp or curly, nor lank, (ISk, S,) or neither very crisp or curly, nor very lank, but between these two. (Msb, TA.) b2: And رَجِلُ الشَّعَرِ and ↓ رَجَلُهُ (ISd, Sgh, K) and ↓ رَجْلُهُ (ISd, K, TA, but accord. to the CK as next follows,] and ↓ رَجُلُهُ, with damm to the ج, added by 'Iyád, in the Meshárik, (MF, TA,) A man having hair such as is described above: pl. أَرْجَالٌ and رَجَالَى; (M, K;) the former, most probably, accord. to analogy, pl. of رَجْلٌ; but both may be pls. of رَجِلٌ and رَجَلٌ: accord. to Sb, however, رَجَلٌ has no broken pl., its pl. being only رَجَلُونَ. (M, TA.) A3: See also رَجَلٌ, in two places.

رَجْلَةٌ: see رَجُلٌ, first sentence, in two places: b2: and رَاجِلٌ.
