عنو

1 عَنَا, (S, Mgh, Msb,) first Pers\. عَنَوْتُ, (K,) aor. ـْ (S, Msb,) inf. n. عُنُوٌّ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, *) and ↓ عَنْوَةٌ is the subst. thereof, (Mgh, K, * TA,) [and] so is ↓ عَنَآءٌ, (Msb,) or عَنْوَةٌ is its inf. n., (MA,) [and so, app., is عَنَآءٌ, in this sense as well as in another sense, accord. to the K,] He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive; (S, MA, Mgh, Msb, K,) and obedient; (MA, TA;) to the truth, &c. (TA.) You say, عَنَا لَهُ He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive, to him; or obedient to him. (MA.) And hence the saying in the Kur [xx. 110], وَعَنَتِ الْوَجُوهُ لِلْحَىِّ القَيُّومِ (S, TA) And the countenances shall be lowly &c. [to the Deathless, or Ever-living, the Self-subsisting by Whom all things subsist: or shall be downcast; like the Hebr. phrases ending verses 5 and 6 in Gen. iv.]: or shall be submissive like captives: or the meaning is [shall be depressed by] the depressing of the forehead and the knee [or rather knees] and the hands in the lowering of the head and the prostrating oneself [in prayer]: or [عَنَت is here from عَنَى, belonging to art. عنى, and الوجوه is used by a synecdoche for the persons (as being the most noble of all the parts thereof), and the meaning is] shall suffer fatigue, or weariness, and shall toil. (TA.) b2: And عَنَا, inf. n. عُنُوٌّ (M, Msb, K, TA, accord. to some copies of the K [erroneously] عَنْوٌ) and عُنِىٌّ (TA) and عَنَآءٌ; (K;) and عَنِىَ; (M, K;) He became a captive: (K:) and the latter verb signifies also he stuck fast in captivity: (K in art. عنى:) or both of these verbs have this latter signification: (Msb:) [or] you say, عَنَا فِيهِمْ فُلَانٌ أَسِيرًا Such a one remained among them a captive; and was in a state of confinement: (S:) and عَنَآءٌ signifies also confinement, or imprisonment, in hardship and humiliation. (TA.) Hence the trad., الخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ يَفُكُّ عُنِيَّهُ i. e. أَسْرَهُ [The maternal uncle is the heir of him who has no more nearlyallied heir: he shall loose his (the latter's) captivity]: meaning [he shall acquit him of] what is incumbent on him, and clings to him, because of the actions that require punishment or retaliation, the way [or custom] of which is that the عَاقِلَة [q. v., of whom he is a member,] bear the responsibility for them. (Nh, TA.) And ↓ عَنْوَةٌ is the subst. of the verb in this sense also. (K, * TA.) A2: And عَنَا, aor. ـْ inf. n. عَنْوَةٌ, He took a thing by force: b2: and also he took it peaceably, or by surrender: thus having two contr. significations. (Msb.) [But see below, where عَنْوَةٌ is expl. as though it were the subst. of the verb in these two senses.]

A3: عَنَوْتُ الشَّىْءَ I put forth, or produced, the thing: and I made the thing apparent, or showed it: (S:) or it has the latter signification; (K;) as also عَنَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ: (IKtt, TA in art. عنى:) and عَنَوْتُ بِالشَّىْءِ has the former signification. (K.) And ↓ عَنْوَةٌ is the subst. of the verb thus used, (K, TA,) i. e. in these two senses, as well as in others mentioned above. (TA.) And one says, عَنَتِ الأَرْضُ بِالنَّبَاتِ, (ISk, S, and K in this art. and in art. عنى,) aor. ـْ inf. n. عُنُوٌّ; (ISk, S;) and aor. ـْ (Ks, S;) The land made apparent, or showed, [or put forth, or produced,] its plants, or herbage; (S, K;) as also ↓ أَعْنَتْهُ. (K.) And لَمْ تَعْنُ بِلَادُنَا بِشَىْءٍ and لَمْ تَعْنِ Our country did not give growth to anything. (S.) And الأَرْضُ شَيْئًا ↓ مَا أَعْنَتِ The land did not give growth, or has not given growth, to anything. (S.) b2: And [hence, app.,] سَأَلْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَعْنُ لِى بِشَىْءٍ I asked him, and he did not (لَمْ يَنْدَ and لَمْ يَبِضَّ) to me, or for me, anything. (TA.) A4: عَنَتْ بِهِ أُمُورٌ Events befell him. (S, K.) [See also 1 in art. عنى.] b2: And عَنَا الأَمْرُ عَلَيْهِ The event, or affair, was difficult, or distressing, to him; distressed, or troubled, him. (ISd, K, TA.) b3: عَنَاهُ الأَمْرُ, aor. ـْ see 1 in art. عنى, first sentence. b4: And عَنَا فِيهِ الأكْلُ, aor. ـْ inf. n. عُنُوٌّ: see 1 in art. عنى.

A5: عَنَا الكَلْبُ الشَّىْءَ, (CK, [in the TA and in my MS. copy of the K للشىء, but see what follows,]) aor. ـْ inf. n. عنو [app., supposing the verb to be trans. by itself, عَنْوٌ], (TA,) The dog came to the thing and smelt it: (K, TA:) and one says, هٰذَا يَعْنُو هٰذَا This comes to this and smells it. (TA.) A6: عَنَتِ القِرْبَةُ بِمَآءٍ

كَثِيرٍ, (K, TA,) aor. ـْ (TA,) The water-skin did not keep, or retain, much water, so that it appeared [oozing from it]: (K, TA:) or, as some say, عَنَتِ القِرْبَةُ signifies the water-skin let flow its water. (TA.) b2: And عَنَا, inf. n. عُنوٌّ, said of blood, It flowed. (IKtt, TA.) A7: And عَنَا, aor. ـْ inf. n. عُنُوٌّ, signifies also قَامَ [He, or it, stood; &c.]. (IKtt, TA.) A8: See also Q. Q. 1.2 عنّاهُ, (S, TA,) inf. n. تَعْنِيَةٌ, (S, K,) He imprisoned him, or confined him, (S, K, TA,) long, straitening him. (TA.) [See also 4.] b2: and تَعْنِيَةٌ is said to signify Any long confining or restraining: in a trad. of 'Alee, respecting the day of Siffeen, he is related to have said, اِسْتَشْعِرُوا الحَشْيَةَ وَعَنُّوا بِالأَصْوَاتِ i. e. [Make ye fear, or awe, (app. of God,) to be the thing next your hearts,] and restrain, and suppress, the voices; as though he forbade their raising a confused and unintelligible clamour. (TA.) A2: عَنَّيْتُ البَعِيرَ, (S,) inf. n. as above, (S, K,) I smeared the camel with عَنِيَّة [q. v.]. (S, K.) [Hence تَعْنِيَةٌ as a subst., expl. below.]

A3: See also Q. Q. 1.4 اعناهُ He rendered him lowly, humble, or submissive. (S, TA.) b2: And (TA) He made him (Msb, K, TA) to stick fast in captivity, (Msb,) or to be, (K,) or to remain, or continue, (TA,) a captive. (K, TA.) A2: See also 1, in two places. b2: [Hence,] اعني الوَلِىُّ الأَرْضَ The وَلِىّ, i. e. the rain after the وَسْمِىّ, watered the land so that it gave growth to plants, or herbage. (S, * IKtt, TA.) b3: And اعنى الرَّجُلُ The man found, or lighted on, land that had produced herbage such as is termed عُشْب, [for قد اعشرت (to which I cannot assign any apposite meaning) in my original, I read قَدْ أَعْشَبَتْ], and of which the pasturage had become abundant. (TA.) A3: See also Q. Q. 1.5 تعنّى He [a camel] was, or became, smeared with عَنِيَّة [q. v.]: whence the saying of EshShaabee, لَأَنْ أَتَعَنَّى بِعَنِيَّةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَقُولَ فِى مَسْأَلَةٍ بِرَأْيِى [Verily my being smeared with عَنِيَّة would be more approvable to me than my saying respecting a question according to my opinion]. (TA.) Q. Q. 1 عَنْوَنْتُ الكِتَابَ, (S, K, TA,) inf. n. عَنْوَنَةٌ and عُِنْوَانٌ, (TA,) i. q. عَلْوَنْتُهُ, (S,) I put an عُنْوَان [i. e. a superscription, or title,] to the book, or writing; (K, TA;) syn. وَسَمْتُهُ: (TA:) and one says also, الكِتَابَ ↓ عَنَا, aor. ـْ meaning عَنْوَنَهُ; (IKtt, TA;) and ↓ اعناهُ and ↓ عنّاهُ and عنّنهُ [which is said to be the original of عَنَّاهُ], meaning the same; (K and TA in art. عنى;) and عَنَيْتُ الكِتَابَ, inf. n. عَنْىٌ, likewise signifies I wrote the عُنْيَان [or عُنْوَان] of the book, or writing. (IKtt, TA in art. عنى.) عِنًا: see the paragraph next following.

عِنْوٌ sing. of أَعْنَآءٌ as signifying The sides, regions, quarters, or tracts, (S, K,) of a country, (S,) or of the sky; (K;) like أَحْنَآءٌ: (S in art. حنو and حنى:) or, accord. to IAar, its sing., in this sense, is ↓ عِنًا: (S:) and the pl. signifies also the sides of the face. (TA.) b2: And sing. of أَعْنَآءٌ as signifying A party of men of sundry, or different, tribes. (S, K.) عَنْوَةٌ Force, or constraint: (Mgh, K, TA:) or the taking by force; (Msb, TA;) as inf. n. of عَنَا [q. v.]. (Msb.) One says, فُتِحَتْ مَكَّةُ عَنْوَةً

Mekkeh was taken forcibly, or by force. (Mgh.) And أَخَذَهُ عَنْوَةً He took it by force. (TA.) and فُتِحَتْ هٰذِهِ المَدِينَةُ عَنْوَةً i. e. [This city was taken] by means of conflict; its occupants having been combated until they had it taken from them by superior power or force, and were powerless to keep it, so they left it without there having occurred between them and the Muslims [or invaders] a treaty of peace. (TA.) b2: Also Love, or affection: (ISd, K, TA:) or submission, and concession: or a consequence of submission and concession, on the part of him from whom a thing is taken: (TA:) or the taking peaceably, or by surrender; as inf. n. of عَنَا [q. v.]: (Msb:) thus it has two contr. significations. (Msb, K, TA.) A poet (cited by Fr, TA) says, فَمَا أَخَذُوهَا عَنْوَةً عَنْ مَوَدَّةٍ

وَلٰكِنَّ ضَرْبَ المَشْرَفِىِّ اسْتَقَالَهَا (Msb, TA;) which is said to mean, [And they did not take it, or her, or them,] by concession, and obedience, [arising from love, or affection,] without fighting: [but the smiting of the Mesh-rafee sword demanded the renouncing thereof:] 'Abd-El-Kádir Ibn-'Amr El-Baghdádee asserts the meaning of عَنْوَةٌ to be submission and concession; adducing as evidence thereof this verse; attributing the contr. meaning to the vulgar: both, however, are correct; and that first mentioned occurs repeatedly in traditions: but the most learned Yákoot Er-Roomee, in his Moajam, says that the verse above-cited may be rendered as meaning and they did not take it, or her, or them, by superior power attended by [or in consequence of] love, or affection: but they did so by fighting: and that this may be regarded as indicated by the poet's saying اخذوها; for otherwise he would have said, فَمَا سَلَّمُوهَا: and he says, it is a matter of common consent that عَنْوَةٌ signifies force, and superior power. (TA.) b3: It is also a subst. from عَنَا in the first of senses mentioned in this art.: [i. e. it signifies Lowliness, humility, or submissiveness:] (Mgh, TA:) [and] so is ↓ عَنَآءٌ: (Msb:) see 1, first sentence. b4: And it is also a subst. from عَنَا as meaning “ he became a captive: ” [i. e. it signifies also A state of captivity:] (TA:) see, again, 1.

A2: And it is also a subst. from عَنَا in two other senses, as stated above: [i. e. it app. signifies also The act of putting forth, or producing, a thing: and of making it apparent, or showing, it:] (TA:) see, again, 1.

عُنْوَانٌ (S, K, TA) and عِنْوَانٌ (TA) The سِمَة [meaning superscription, or title,] of a book, or writing; (K, TA;) i. q. عُلْوَانٌ; (S;) and عُنْيَانٌ signifies the same; (K in art. عنى;) as also ↓ مُعَنَّى: (K, TA: [in the CK, كَمَعْنَاهُ is put for كَمُعَنَّاهُ:]) the inscription on the back, or outside, of a book, or writing: (Har p. 163, in explanation of عُنْوَانٌ:) [and the address of a letter. and hence,] Anything that serves as an indication of another thing is called its عُنْوَان. (Msb and K in art. عن.) One says, فِى جَبْهَتِهِ عُنْوَانٌ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ السَّجُودِ i. e. [On his forehead is] a mark [from much prostration in prayer]. (TA.) [See more in art. عن.]

عَنَآءٌ: see 1, first sentence; and عَنْوَةٌ, near the end: b2: and see also art. عنى.

عَنِيَّةٌ, of the measure فَعِيلَةٌ, The urine of the camel, inspissated in the sun, with which such as is affected with mange, or scab, is smeared; on the authority of AA: (S:) or certain mixtures of urine and dung of camels, with which the camel affected with mange, or scab, is smeared; also termed ↓ تَعْنِيَةٌ: (K:) or the urine of camels that are caused to void their urine [in my original تُسْتَبَانُ is erroneously written for تُسْتَبَالُ] in the [season called] رَبِيع when they are satisfied with fresh pasture so as to be in no need of water, cooked [app. by boiling] until it becomes thick, when some flowers of some sorts of herbs, and حَبّ المَحْلَب [the prunus mahaleb of Linn.], are thrown upon it, and it becomes inspissated thereby, then put into small [earthen vessels of the kind called] بَسَاتِيق [pl. of بُسْتُوقَةٌ]: or urine [app. of camels] mixed with certain things, and kept close for some time: or any هِنَآء [generally meaning tar, or a kind thereof, with which camels are smeared, as a remedy for the mange, or scab]. (TA.) It is said in a prov., العَنِيَّةُ تَشْفِى الجَرَبَ; (S, TA;) or عَنِيَّتُهُ تَشْفِى الجَرَبَ [for مِنَ الجَرَبِ, i. e. His عنيّة cures the mange, or scab]: applied to the man of good judgment [whose advice is like a remedy]. (TA.) عَانٍ Lowly, humble, or submissive. (Msb, TA.) b2: And (Msb, TA) hence, app., (TA,) A captive; (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA;) fem. عَانِيَةٌ: (Mgh, TA:) pl. masc. عُنَاةٌ; (S, Mgh, Msb, TA;) and pl. fem. عَوَانٍ. (S, Mgh, TA.) b3: And عَوَانٍ signifies (assumed tropical:) Women; (Msb, K;) sing. عَانِيَةٌ: (Msb:) because they are confined like captives in the abodes of their husbands; (Msb;) or because they are treated wrongfully and not defended against their wrongers. (K.) It occurs in a trad. as meaning Females in the condition of captives: (Mgh:) or women who are captives; or like captives. (IAth, TA.) b4: And it signifies also عَوَامِلُ [which, as pl. of عَامِلَةٌ, is used as meaning Workers, or labourers; and also, as a subst., as meaning the legs of a beast or horse or the like]: and it is said to be used by El-Jaadee as an epithet applied to the limbs of camels, or other beasts, used for riding. (TA.) b5: and hence, perhaps, it is applied to The مَكَّاسُون [or collectors of the impost termed مَكْس, q. v.]; because they are workers, or labourers, for the oppressors. (TA.) A2: Also (the sing.) Flowing, applied to blood, (S, K, TA,) or to water. (TA.) مَعْنَوِىٌّ: see art. عنى.

تَعْنِيَةٌ: [originally inf. n. of 2, q. v.: used as a subst.,] see عَنِيَّةٌ.

مُعَنًّى A stallion [camel] of mean origin, which, when excited by lust, is confined in the [enclosure called] عُنَّة, because his exercise of the faculty of a stallion is avoided: but it is said that it is originally مُعَنَّنٌ, from العُنَّةُ; one of the ن being changed into ى: (S, TA: *) or of mean origin, of which the legs are bound with a rope, when he is excited by lust, for that reason. (TA.) b2: And A camel of which the people of the Time of Ignorance used to displace the سَنَاسِن [pl. of سِنْسِنٌ, q. v.] of one of his vertebræ, and to wound his hump, in order that he might not be ridden, and that no use might be made of his back: this was done when his owner possessed a hundred camels, he being the camel by which they became a hundred: and this act was termed الأِغْلَاقُ: it may be from عَنَآءٌ meaning “ fatigue; ” or from the signification of “ confinement from freedom of action. ” (TA.) A2: See also عُنْوَانٌ.

سب

أ1 سَبَأَ الخَمْرَ, (S, M, K,) aor. ـَ (M, K,) inf. n. سَبْءٌ (S, M, K) and سِبَآءٌ, (M, K, TA,) like كِتَابٌ, (TA, in the CK سَباء,) [but see سِبَآءٌ below,] and مَسْبَأٌ; (S, K;) and ↓ استبأها; (S, M, K;) He bought wine, syn. شَرَاهَا, (M, K,) which mostly means “ he sold it,” (TA,) or اِشْتَرَاهَا, (S, O,) which is well known as meaning “ he bought it,” wherefore it is here used in the S and O, (TA,) in order that he might drink it: (S, O:) accord. to Ks, (TA,) when you buy wine to carry it to a place, you say, سَبَيْتُ الخَمْرَ, without ء; (S, TA;) and so say the [other] celebrated lexicologists, except Fei, accord. to whom you say in this case [as in others], سَبَأْتُهَا; and it is itself called سَبِيْئَةٌ: (TA:) the verbs are only used, in the sense of buying, in relation to wine. (S, Msb, TA.) [See also art. سبى.] b2: and سَبَأَ الشَّرَابَ He collected the wine in vessels: occurring in this sense in a trad. (Aboo-Moosà, TA.)

(M, K.) 7 انسبأ It (the skin) was, or became, stripped. off. (S, M.) b2: And It (a person's skin) peeled off, or became abraded. (TA.) 8 إِسْتَبَاَ see 1, first sentence.

سَبَأٌ: see سَبِيْئَةٌ

سَبَا, (M, K,) and with ذَهَبُوا in the place of تفرّقوا, (T, TA,) They became scattered, or dispersed, (K, TA,) and they went away in a state of dispersion, in the ways of Seba, (T, TA,) a people of El-Yemen, who were dispersed in consequence of the inundation of their lands by the bursting of their [famous] dam, (TA,) and who became proverbial on that account: (M, K, TA:) سَبَا is here made indecl., (M, K, TA, [بَــنُوهُ in the CK being a mistranscription for بَــنَوْهُ, wherefore كما تَبَدَّد has been there interpolated, immediately before بَــنُوهُ,]) with the last letter quiescent, and forms, with the preceding word, a compound like خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ [which implies that we should read أَيْدِى سَبَا and أَيَادِىَسَبَا, but I have never found it thus written]: (TA:) it is not formed from سَبَأَ by suppression of the ء, but is a substitute for that word, (M, K, TA,) on account of the frequent use of this phrase. (M, TA.) [See also art. سبى.]

سُبْأَةٌ A long, or far, journey, (IAar, T, M, K,) that alters one: (IAar, M, TA:) so termed because the sun alters him who makes a long journey. (T, TA. [See 1.]) You say, إِنَّكَ لَتُرِيدُ سُبْأَةً Verily thou desirest a long journey, (IAar, M, K, *) that will alter thee. (IAar, M.) In the case of a short journey, you say, تُرِيدُ سُرْبَةً. (T, TA.) السَّبَئِيَّةُ, (S, and so in a copy of the K,) or ↓ السَّبَائِيَّةُ; (so in another copy of the K and accord. to the CK;) MF says that the former is the correct term, but both are correct; (TA;) Certain of the غُلَاة, (S, K, TA,) i. e. extravagant zealots of the class of innovators; a party of the غُلَاة of the شِيعَة [q. v.]; who are divided into eighteen sects: (TA:) they are so called in relation to Seba (سَبَأ) the father of 'Abd-Allah, (K,) or in relation to 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Seba. (S.) سِبَآءٌ [The purchase of wine;] a subst. from سَبَأَ الخَمْرَ; (S;) or an inf. n. (M, K, TA.) A2: See also سَبِيْئَةٌ, in two places.

(TA.) سَبِيْئَةٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ سِبَآءٌ (M, K) and, accord. to Ks, ↓ سَبَأْ, but the form commonly known is ↓ سِبَآءٌ, with kesr to the س, and with medd, (IAmb, TA,) Wine, (S, M, K,) in an absolute sense; (TA;) or, [as is perhaps meant in the S,] wine that is bought to be drunk, not for merchandise.

سَبَّآءٌ A vintner, or seller of wine. (S, M, K.) b2: [It is said in a marginal note in my MS. copy of the K that it signifies also A seller of graveclothes: but this is evidently a mistake, app. occasioned by a mistranscription, for سَيَّآء, with ى.]

مَسْبَأٌ A road (S, K) in a mountain. (S.)

عَرَبَةُ:
بالتحريك: هي في الأصل اسم لبلاد العرب، قال أبو منصور: اختلف الناس في العرب لم سمّوا عربا فقال بعضهم: أول من أنطق الله لسانه بلغة العرب يعرب بن قحطان وهو أبو اليمن وهم العرب العاربة، قال نصر: وعربة أيضا موضع في أرض فلسطين بها أوقع أبو أمامة الباهلي بالروم لما بعثه يزيد بن أبي سفيان، لا أدري بفتح الراء أو بسكونها، ونشأ إسماعيل بن إبراهيم، عليه السّلام، بين أظهرهم فتكلم بلسانهم، فهو وأولاده العرب المستعربة، وقال آخرون: نشأ أولاد إسماعيل بعربة وهي من تهامة فنسبوا إلى بلدهم، وفي قول النبي، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، خمسة من الأنبياء من العرب، وهم إسماعيل وشعيب وصالح وهود ومحمد، وهو دليل على قدم العربية لأن فيهم من كان قبل إسماعيل إلا أنهم كلهم كانوا ينزلون بلاد العرب، فكان شعيب وقومه بأرض مدين، وكان صالح وقومه ينزلون ناحية الحجر، وكان هود وقومه عاد ينزلون الأحقاف، [1]- هذا البيت مختل الوزن، غامض المعنى.
وهم أهل عمد، وكان إسماعيل ومحمد، صلّى الله عليهما وسلّم، من سكّان الحرم، وقد وصفنا كلّ موضع من هذه المواضع في مكانه، والذي يتبين ويصحّ من هذا أن كلّ من سكن جزيرة العرب ونطق بلسان أهلها فهم العرب سمّوا عربا باسم بلدهم العربات، وقال أبو تراب إسحاق بن الفرج: عربة باحة العرب، وباحة: دار أبي الفصاحة إسماعيل بن إبراهيم، عليه السّلام، قال: وفيها يقول قائلهم وهو أبو طالب بن عبد المطلب عم النبي، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم:
وعربة دار لا يحلّ حرامها ... من الناس إلا اللّوذعيّ الحلاحل
يعني النبي، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، أحلّت له مكة ساعة من نهار ثم هي حرام إلى يوم القيامة، قال:
واضطرّ الشاعر إلى تسكين الراء من عربة فسكنها كما فعل الآخر:
وما كلّ مبتاع ولو سلف صفقه أراد سلف، وأقامت قريش بعربة فتنخت بها وانتشر سائر العرب، وبها كان مقام إسماعيل، عليه السلام، وقال هشام بن محمد بن السائب: جزيرة العرب تدعى عربة ومن هنالك قيل للعرب عربيّ كما قيل للهندي هنديّ وكما قيل للفارسي فارسيّ لأن بلاده فارس وكما قيل للرومي روميّ لأن بلاده الروم، وأما النبطيّ فكلّ من لم يكن راعيا أو جنديّا عند العرب من ساكني الأرضين فهو نبطيّ، وعلى ذلك شاهد من أشعار العرب مع حقّ ذلك وبيانه، وقال ابن منقذ الثوري في عربة:
لنا إبل لم يطمث الذّلّ نيبها ... بعربة مأواها بقرن فأبطحا
فلو أنّ قومي طاوعتني سراتهم ... أمرتهم الأمر الذي كان أربحا
فالألسنة التي تجمع العربية كلّها قديمها وحديثها ستة ألسنة وكلها تنسب إلى الأرض والأرض عربة ولم يسمع لأحد من سكان جزيرة العرب أن يقال له عربيّ إلا لرجل أنطقه الله بلسان منها فإنهم وأولادهم أهل ذلك اللسان دون سائر ألسنة العرب، ألا ترى أن بني إسرائيل قد عمروا الحجاز فلم ينسبوا عربا لأنهم لم ينطقوا فيها بلسان لم يكن قبلهم؟ وبالخط وفي البحرين المسند وفي عمان فهم بمنزلة بني إسرائيل لم ينطقوا فيها بلسان لم يكن قبلهم وكانت بها عاد وثمود وجرهم والعماليق وطسم وجديس وبنو عبد ابن الضخم، وكان آخر من أنطق الله بلسان لم يكن قبله إسماعيل بن إبراهيم ومدين ويافش وهو يفشان فهؤلاء عرب، ومن أشدّ تقارب في النسب وموافقة في القرابة وأشدّ تباعد في اللّغات بنو إسماعيل وبنو إسرائيل أبوهم واحد، وهؤلاء عرب وهؤلاء عبر لأنهم لم ينطقوا بلغة العرب وأنطق الله فيها مدين ويافش وعدّة من أولاد إبراهيم فهم عرب، قال عمر بن محمد وأصحابه: أول من أنطقه الله في عربة بلسان لم يكن قبلهم عوض وصول ابنا إرم وجرهم بن عامر بن شالخ بن أرفخشد بن سام بن نوح، عليه السّلام، ومن بعد البلبلة أنطقهم الله بالمسند، فأهل المسند عاد وثمود والعماليق وجرهم وعبد بن الضخم وطسم وجديس وأميم فهم أول من تكلم بالعربية بعد البلبلة ولسانهم المسند وكتابهم المسند، قال هشام: قال أبي أول من تكلم بالعربية يقطن بن عامر بن شالخ بن أرفخشد بن سام بن نوح، ويقال: إن يقطن هو قحطان عرّب فسمّي قحطان ولذلك سمّي ابنه يعرب بن قحطان
لأنه أول من تكلم بالعربية، واللسان الثاني ممن أنطقه الله في عربة بلسان لم يكن قبلهم جرهم بن فالج وبــنوه أنطقهم الله بالزّبور فهم الثاني ممن تكلم بالعربية ولسانهم الزّبور وكتابهم الزّبور، واللسان الثالث ممن أنطقه الله في عربة بلسان لم يكن قبلهم يقطن بن عامر وبــنوه فأنطقوا بالزقزقة فهم الثالث ممن تكلم بالعربية ولسانهم الزقزقة وكتابهم الزقزقة، واللسان الرابع ممن أنطقه الله في عربة بلسان لم يكن قبلهم مدين بن إبراهيم وبــنوه فأنطقوا بالحويل فهم الرابع ممن تكلم بالعربية ولسانهم الحويل وكتابهم الحويل، واللسان الخامس ممن أنطق الله في عربة بلسان لم يكن قبلهم يافش بن إبراهيم وإخوته فأنطقوا بالرّشق فهم الخامس ممن تكلم بالعربية ولسانهم الرشق وكتابهم الرشق، واللسان السادس ممن أنطقه الله في عربة بلسان لم يكن قبلهم إسماعيل بن إبراهيم فأنطقوا بالمبين وهو السادس ممن تكلم بالعربية هو وبــنوه ولسانهم المبين وكتابهم المبين وهو الغالب على العرب اليوم، فالمسند كلام حمير اليوم والزّبور كلام بعض أهل اليمن وحضرموت والرشق كلام أهل عدن والجند والحويل كلام مهرة والزقزقة الأشعرون والمبين معدّ بن عدنان وهو الغالب على العرب كلها اليوم، قال: وكذلك أهل كلّ بلاد لا يقال فارسيّ إلا إن أنطقه الله بلسان لم يكن قبلهم ولا روميّ ولا هنديّ ولا صينيّ ولا بربريّ، ألا ترى أن في بلاد فارس من أهل الحيرة وأهل الأنبار في بلاد الروم وأشباه هؤلاء فلا ينسبون إلى البلاد؟ والعربة أيضا: موضع بفلسطين كانت به وقعة للمسلمين في أول الإسلام، وقال أبو سفيان الأكلبي من خثعم، ويقال هو أكلب بن ربيعة بن نزار وإنهم دخلوا في خثعهم بحلف فصاروا منهم:
أبونا رسول الله وابن خليله ... بعربة بوّأنا، فنعم المركّب
أبونا الذي لم تركب الخيل قبله، ... ولم يدر شيخ قبله كيف يركب
وقال أسد بن الجاحل:
وعربة أرض جدّ في الشهر أهلها ... كما جدّ في شرب النّقاخ ظماء
مجيء عربة في هذه الأشعار كلها ساكنة الراء دليل على أنها ليست ضرورة وأن الأصل سكون الراء.
