(TA.) One says of a lion رَزَمَ عَلَى فِرِيسَتِهِ [He lay upon his breast on his prey, not quitting it]. (TA.) b4: اِرْزِمْ بِهِ مَا رَزَمَ Be thou firm, or steadfast, with it as long as it is firm, or steadfast: referring to fortune when it is severe, or rigorous. (Ham p. 362.) b5: and رَزَمَ بِالشَّىْءِ He laid hold upon the thing. (K.) b6: شَدِيدَةً ↓ رَزَمَ الشِّتَآءُ رَزْمَةً The winter was, or became, intensely cold. (K, * TA.)

(K, TA.) b2: رازم بَيْنَهُمَا He conjoined them two; (K;) [as, for instance, two kinds of food, by taking them in immediate succession:] he mixed them. (TA.) You say, رازمت الإِبِلُ The camels mixed two pastures. (S, TA.) And رازمت الإِبِلُ العَامَ The camels pastured upon the حَمْض [or salt, or sour, plants] one time, and خُلَّة [or sweet plants] another time, this year. (TA.)

أَكَلْتُمْ فَرَازمُوا: (K, TA:) as though he said, [When ye eat,] eat what is easy and agreeable to swallow with what is unseasoned, or disagreeable in taste: (TA:) or mix ye, in your eating, what is soft with what is rough, or harsh, or coarse: (IAth, TA:) or make ye praise to follow [your eating]. (S.) b3: مُرَازَمَةُ السُّوقِ means The purchasing in the market less than what will make up the full quantity of the loads. (K.) 4 ارزمت She (a camel) uttered a cry such as is termed رَزَمَة [q. v.] when loving, or affecting, her young one: (S:) or she (a camel) uttered a cry of yearning towards her young one: (K:) and in like manner, ارزمت عَلَى وَلَدِهَا is said of a ewe, or she-goat: but sometimes إِرْزَامٌ means the uttering of a cry, or sound, absolutely: and ارزمت said of a she-camel occurs in a trad. as meaning she uttered a cry.

أَرْزَمَتْ أُمُّ حَائِلٍ [I will not do that as long as a mother of a female young camel utters her gentle yearning cry]: (S, K: *) a prov. (K.) and hence, i. e. from ارزمت said of a she-camel, (TA,) ارزم is also said of thunder, (S, K,) meaning (tropical:) It made a vehement sound, or noise: (K, TA:) or it made a sound, or noise, (S, K,) not vehement. (K.) [And it seems that ↓ رَزِمَتْ and رَزِمَ signify the same as ارزمت and ارزم said of a she-camel and of thunder: for] the inf. n. رَزَمٌ, used in relation to a camel and to thunder, signify The making a sound or noise. (KL.) ارزمت is also said of a cooking-pot, meaning (assumed tropical:) It made a noise by its boiling. (Ham p. 663.) And you say, ارزمت الرِّيحُ فِى الجَوْفِ (assumed tropical:) The wind made a sound [in the belly]. (K.) رَزِمٌ Rain accompanied by incessant thunder: a possessive epithet. (Lh, TA.) رُزَمٌ Firm, or steadfast, standing upon the ground: (S, K:) and ↓ مُرْزِمٌ and ↓ رَازِمٌ signify [the same; or] firm, or steadfast, upon the ground: and the pl. of the last is رُزَّامٌ, occurring in a verse cited voce رِزَامٌ, q. v. (TA.) b2: Also The lion; and so ↓ مُرْزِمٌ; (K, TA;) because he lies upon his breast on his prey, not quitting it: (TA:) or رُزَمٌ (Ham p. 362) and ↓ رَزَامٌ (TA, and Ham ibid., [but in the latter without any syll. signs,]) like سَحَابٌ, and ↓ رَزَامَةٌ like سَحَابَةٌ, [which is of a form denoting intensiveness of signification,] (TA,) are epithets applied to a lion, meaning that lies upon his breast on his prey, (Ham, TA,) and growls. (Ham.) Accord. to J, it is applied in a verse of Sáïdeh Ibn-Ju-eiyeh to an elephant: but accord. to IB, and the Expos. of Skr, it is there applied to a lion, as meaning That has remained firm, or steadfast, in his place. (TA.) رَزْمَةٌ: see 1: b2: and see also the next paragraph, in two places. b3: أَكَلَ الرَّزْمَةٌ He ate the وَجْبَة [or meal that sufficed for a day and a night, or for four and twenty hours]. (K.) رِزْمَةٌ A quantity remaining in a [receptacle of the kind called] جُلَّة, [a meaning said in the TA, in art. ردم, to be erroneously assigned in the K, in that art, to رِدْمَةٌ,] of dates, amounting to half thereof, or a third, or thereabout: (TA:) or, accord. to Sh, the third part, or fourth part, of a [sack such as is called] غِرَارَة, (Mgh, TA,) or thereabout, (Mgh,) of dates or flour: or, accord. to Zeyd Ibn-Kuthweh, like قَوْسٌ, signifying the quantity of the fourth part of the جُلَّة, of dates: (TA:) or, accord. to the Tekmileh, [the pl.]

رِزَمٌ signifies the [sacks called] غَرَائِر, in which is wheat: and hence the رِزَم of clothes [explained in what here follows. (Mgh.) b2: A كَارَة [or bundle, put in one piece of cloth and tied up,] of clothes; (S, Msb, TA;) what are tied up in one piece of cloth, (K, TA,) of clothes: (TA:) or clothes, and other things, put together [in a bundle]; as also ↓ رَزْمَةٌ: (Mgh:) IAmb explains it as meaning the thing in which are sorts (ضُرَوب) and mixtures of clothes: and hence the author of the K has taken a meaning assigned by him to رِزْمَةٌ, which, he says, is also written ↓ رَزْمَةٌ, namely, ضَرْبٌ شَدِيدٌ [a vehement beating], altering and substituting: (TA:) the pl. of رِزْمَةٌ is رِزَمٌ. (S, Msb.) رَزَمَةٌ A cry, or sound, (Az, S, K, TA,) a sort of yearning cry, (TA,) of a she-camel, when loving, or affecting, her young one, uttered from her throat, or fauces, (Az, S, K, TA,) without opening her mouth, not as loud as that which is termed حَنِينٌ. (Az, S, TA.) It is said in a prov., رَزَمَةٌ وَلَا دِرَّةٌ [A gentle yearning cry of a she-camel, and no flow of milk]: (S:) or لَا خَيْرَ فِى رَزَمَةٍ

لَا دِرَّةَ فِيهَا [There is no good in a gentle yearning cry of a she-camel with which is no flow of milk]: (K:) applied to him who promises and does not fulfil: (S, K:) or to him who causes to wish and does not act: (A, TA:) or to him who makes a show of love, or affection, without proving it to be true or without;t its being accompanied by any gift. (M, TA.) b2: Also The cry of a boy, or child. (K, TA: but not in the CK.) b3: And, accord. to IAar, A vehement cry or sound. (TA.) b4: And The cries of beasts of prey. (S, TA.) A poet says, لِلسِّبَاعِ حَوْلَهُ رَزَمَهْ تَرَكُوا عَمْرَانَ مُنْجَدِلاً

[They left 'Amrán prostrate upon the ground; there being cries of the beasts of prey around him]. (IB, TA.) رَزَامٌ: see رُزَمٌ.

رِزَامٌ A man strong and stubborn. (K.) رُزَامٌ, [a mistranscription, app. for ↓ رَزَّامٌ, for it must be with teshdeed to the ز, as is shown by an ex. in a copy of the S, consisting of two verses, of which the former here follows,] as an epithet applied to a man, means Stubborn, behaving with forced hardness or hardiness: it occurs, accord. as some relate it, in the saying of a rájiz, [so in the S and TA, but correctly, a poet using the sixth species of the metre termed السَّرِيع,] which others relate thus: ↓ أَيَا بَنِى عَبْدِ مَنَافِ الرُّزَّامْ

أَنْتُمْ حُمَاةٌ وَأَبُوكُمُ حَامٌ [O sons of 'Abd-Menáf, the firm, or steadfast, upon the ground, (accord. to this reading; but accord. to the reading that seems to be رَزَّامْ, the stubborn, &c., as a sing., referring to 'AbdMenáf himself;) ye are defenders, and your father was a defender, حَامْ being for حَامٍ]: رُزَّام being pl. of رَازِمٌ. (So in one of my two copies of the S: in the other copy omitted.) رَزِيمٌ A roaring, or growling: a poet says, لِأُسُوِدهِنَّ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ رَزِيمُ [There is, or was, a roaring, or growling, of their lions on the road]. (S.) رَزَامَةٌ: see رُزَمٌ.

الرِّزَامِيَّةُ A sect who said that the office of Imám, after 'Alee, belonged to Mohammad Ibn-El-Hanafeeyeh, and then to his son 'Abd-Allah, and who accounted lawful those things that are [esteemed by the orthodox] forbidden: (KT:) or a sect of the extravagant zealots of the class of innovators, of the schismatics, or followers of 'Alee, who say that the office of Imám belonged to Aboo-Muslim El-Khurásánee, after El-Man- soor, and some of whom arrogated to themselves divinity, one of them being El-Mukanna', who made the moon to appear to them in Nakhshab, and of whose persuasion there is in this day a party in Má-wará-en-Nahr.

but Kzw says that this star (which is a of Orion) is called مَنْكِبُ الجَوْزَآءِ and يَدُ الجَوْزَآءِ; and then he mentions that in the left arm, as being called المرزم: whence it seems that Golius was misled by the omission of some words in a copy of the work of Kzw.]) And المِرْزَمَانِ, (S, K,) also called مِرْزَمَا الشِّعْرَيَيْنِ, (S,) is the name of Two stars [of which one is commonly known as B of Canis Major, and the other is app. B of Canis Minor, though Golius says, on the authority of Ulugh Beg, that the former is in the right hind leg of Canis Major,] with the شِعْرَيَانِ [by which latter appellation are meant Sirius and Procyon], (K,) or one of which is in [or by] الشِّعْرَى [commonly so called, i. e.

A2: غَبَطَهُ, aor. ـِ (ISk, Az, S, Msb, K;) and غَبِطَهُ, aor. ـَ (Ibn-Buzurj, Sgh, K;) inf. n. غَبْطٌ (ISk, Az, S, Msb, K) and غِبْطَةٌ, (S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst.; (Msb;) He regarded him [with unenvious emulation, i. e.] with a wish for the like of his condition, (ISk, Az, S,) meaning a good condition, (Az,) or for the like of that which he had attained, (Msb,) or for a blessing, (K,) and that it might not pass away, (ISk, K,) or without desiring that it should pass away, (Az, S, Msb,) from the latter person: (ISk, Az, S, Msb, K:) the doing so is not حَسَدٌ, (Az, S, Msb,) for this implies the desire that what is wished for may pass away from its possessor; (Az, Msb;) or it is a kind of حَسَد, of a more moderate quality: (Az:) or غِبْطَةٌ and غَبْطٌ have the signification shown above, and are also syn. with حَسَدٌ; (K;) this latter meaning is assigned to غَبْطٌ by IAar; and it is said that the Arabs use غَبْطٌ in the sense of حَسَدٌ metonymically; (TA;) [so that غَبَطَهُ and غَبِطَهُ may also mean (tropical:) he envied him; &c.; see an ex. in a prov. cited voce بَطْنٌ; but it is said that] حَسَدٌ, when it is for courage and the like, is syn. with غِبْطَةٌ, and then it implies admiration, without a wish that the thing admired may pass away from its possessor. (Msb in art. حسد.) You say, غَبَطَهُ بِهِ, (S,) and عَلَيْهِ, (IAth,) and فِيهِ, (Msb,) He regarded him with a wish for the like of it, meaning a thing or state which he had attained, without desiring that it should pass away from the latter person. (S, IAth, * Msb.) Mohammad was asked, “Does الغَبْط injure? ” and he answered, “Yes, like as الخَبْط injures: ” or, accord. to the relation of A'Obeyd, “No, save as الخَبْط injures the [trees called] عِضَاه: ” (Az, TA:) [see خَبَطَ:] by الغيط meaning, accord. to some, الحَسَد: (TA:) or a kind thereof, of a more moderate quality; injurious, but not so injurious as الحسد whereby one wishes that a blessing may pass away from his brother; الخبط meaning the beating off the leaves of trees; after which they become replaced, without there resulting any injury therefrom to the stock and branches: moreover, الغبط sometimes occasions the smiting of its object with the evil eye. (Az, TA.) [See also غِبْطَةٌ, below.]

A3: Accord. to IKtt, غَبَطَ signifies also He lied; but perhaps it is a mistranscription for عَبَطَ, which has this meaning; for it is not mentioned by any other. (TA.) 2 غَبَّطَ It is said in a trad., جَآءَ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ فَيَجْعَلَ يُغَبِّطُهُمْ; thus it is related, meaning, [He came to them while they were praying, and he began] to incite them to wish for the like of that action: if related without teshdeed, [يَغْبِطُهُمْ,] the meaning is, to regard them with a wish for the like condition, because of their forwardness to prayer. (Nh, K.) 4 أَغْبَطَ see 8.

And أَغْبَطُوا عَلَى رِكَابِهِمْ فِى السَّيْرِ They kept the saddles on their travellingcamels night and day, not putting them down, in journeying. (ISh.) b3: Hence, (A, TA,) أَغْبَطَتْ عَلَيْهِ الحُمَّى (tropical:) The fever continued upon him; (S, K, TA;) as though it set the غَبِيط upon him, to ride him; like as you say, رَكِبَتْهُ الحُمَّى, and اِمْتَطَتْهُ, and اِرْتَحَلَتْهُ: (A, TA:) or clave to him: (TA:) or did not quit him for some days; as also أَغْمَطَتْ, and أَرْدَمَتْ. (As.) b4: And أَغْبَطَتِ السَّمَآءُ (tropical:) The sky rained continually. (S, Msb, K, TA.)

(L.) You say, لَقِىَ مَا يُغْتَبَطُ عَلَيْهِ [He met with, or experienced, that for which one would be regarded with unenvious emulation, i. e., with a wish to be in the like condition, without its being desired that it should pass away from him]. (TA in art. فوز.) A2: The saying, خَوَّى قَلِيلًا غَيْرَ مَا اغْتِبَاطِ cited by Th, but not expl. by him, is held by ISd to mean [He (referring to a camel) lay down, or did so making his belly to be separated somewhat from the ground], not resting upon a wide غَبِيط [q. v.] of ground, but upon a place not even, and not depressed. (TA.) غَبْطٌ [originally an inf. n.]: see غِبْطَةٌ.

(Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) غِبْطَةٌ A good state or condition; (S, L, Msb, K;) a state of happiness; (L, K;) and of enjoyment, or wellbeing; (L;) as also ↓ غَبْطٌ, in the saying, اَللّٰهُمَّ غَبْطًا لَا هَبْطًا, meaning, O God, we ask of Thee a good state or condition [&c.], (S, K,) and we put our trust in Thee for preservation that we may not be brought down from our state, (S, TA,) or that we may not be abased and humbled: (TA:) or place us in a station for which we may be regarded [with unenvious emulation, i. e.,] with a wish to be in the like condition without its being desired that it should pass away from us, (K, * TA,) and remove from us the stations of abasement and humiliation: (TA:) or [we ask of Thee] exaltation, not humiliation; and increase of thy bounty, not declension nor diminution.

[respecting the giving of the poor-rate], إِلَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى فِى نَجْدَتِهَا وَرِسْلِهَا, (S, TA,) which is explained in two different ways: (TA:) [J says that] it is from رِسْلٌ in the sense first explained above; meaning straitness and plenty; i. e. Except him who gives when they are fat and goodly, when it is difficult, or hard, to their owner to give them forth, and when they are lean, [or] in a middling condition: (S:) and A'Obeyd says the like; and that it is similar to the saying, قَالَ فُلَانٌ كَذَا عَمَّا رِسْلِهِ, meaning Such a one said such a thing holding it (the saying) in light estimation: others say that it is from رِسْلٌ signifying “ milk; ” which A'Obeyd disallows: IAth says that what is meant by نجدة is straitness and drought or barrenness or dearth; and by رسل, plenty, and abundance of herbage or the like; because رسل, i. e. milk, is plentiful only in the case of abundance of herbage; so that the meaning is, except him who gives forth the due of God in the case of straitness and in that of plenty. (TA.) A3: The رِسْلَانِ of a horse are The extremities of the عَضُدَانِ [or two arms]. (M, K. *) رَسَلٌ Camels: (M, K:) thus expl. by A'Obeyd, without any epithet: (M:) or a drove, or herd, or a distinct collection or number, of camels, (S, M, * Msb, K,) and of sheep or goats, (S, K,) accord. to ISk from ten to twenty-five, (TA,) or the رَسَل of the watering-trough is at least ten, and extending to twenty-five; and the word is masc. and fem.; (M;) and also (assumed tropical:) of horses or horsemen; (S;) applied to (tropical:) a company of men (Mgh, Msb) as being likened to a drove, or herd, of camels: (Msb:) and also a distinct collection or number of any things: (M, K:) pl. أَرْسَالٌ. (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K.) A rájiz says, يَا ذَائِدَيْهَا خَوِّصَا بِأَرْسَالْ وَلَا تَذُودَاهَا ذِيَادَ الضُّلَّالْ

[O ye two drivers of them, water some before others, by droves, and drive them not with the driving of those who err from the right way]: (S, TA:) i. e. bring near your camels some after some, and do not let them crowd upon the water-ing-trough. (TA.) And one says, جَآءَتِ الإِبِلُ رَسَلًا The camels came [in a drove, or] following one another. (IAmb, TA.) And جَآءَتِ الخَيْلُ أَرْسَالًا, i. e. (assumed tropical:) [The horses, or horsemen, came] in successive distinct companies. (S, TA.) And جَاءُوا أَرْسَالًا (tropical:) They (men) came in successive companies. (Msb. [And the like is said in the Mgh and in the TA.]) وَقِيرٌ كَثِيرُ الرَّسَلِ قَلِيلُ الرِّسْلِ, occurring in a trad. relating to a drought, is said by IKt to mean [A collection of sheep or goats] of which many were sent to the pasture, i. e. many in number, but having little milk but the more probable explanation of كثير الرسل is that of El-'Odhree, who says that it means much dispersed in search of pasture: for the trad. relates that the camels had died, notwithstanding their ability to endure drought: how then should the sheep or goats be safe, and increase so as to become numerous? (IAth, TA.) b2: Also Animals, or beasts, having milk. (M, TA.) رُسُلٌ A young girl, that has not worn the [muffler, or veil, called] خَمَار. (K.) A2: Also a pl. of رَسُولٌ. (S, M, &c.) رَسْلَةٌ A soft, or delicate condition of life: you say, هُمْ فِى رَسْلَةٍ مِنَ العَيْشِ They are in a soft, or delicate, condition of life. (M.) b2: and Heaviness, sluggishness, laziness, or indolence: (M, K:) you say رَجُلٌ فِيهِ رَسْلَةٌ A man in whom is heaviness, &c. (M.) b3: See also رِسْلٌ, first sentence.

رِسْلَةٌ: see رِسْلٌ, in two places.

رِسَالٌ: see رَسْلٌ (of which it is the pl.), near the end of the paragraph: A2: and see also مُرَاسِلٌ.

رَسُولٌ i. q. رِسَالَةٌ: (S, M, K:) see the latter, in five places. b2: Hence, as meaning ذُو رَسُولٍ, i. e. ذُو رِسَالَةٍ [One who has a message; i. e. a messenger]; (TA;) i. q. ↓ مُرْسَلٌ, (S, M, K,) meaning one sent with a message; (S;) of the measure فَعُولٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ [or rather مُفْعَلٌ]: (Msb:) [and often meaning an apostle of God; and with the article ال especially applied to Mohammad:] accord. to IAmb, its meaning in the proper language of the Arabs is one who carries on by consecutive progressions the relation of the tidings of him who has sent him; taken from the phrase جَآءَتِ الإِبِلُ رَسَلًا, meaning “ The camels came following one another: ” and the saying of the Muëdhdhin, أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللّٰه means I know [or acknowledge] and declare that Mohammad is the relater by consecutive progressions of the tidings from God: (TA:) [or, as commonly understood, I testify that Mohammad is the apostle of God:] a رَسُول is also called ↓ مِرْسَالٌ, as being likened to the arrow thus termed: (TA:) the pl. of رَسُولٌ is رُسُلٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and رُسْلٌ (S, Msb) and رُسَلَآءٌ, (M, K,) which last is from IAar, (M,) or Fr, (Sgh,) and أَرْسُلٌ, (M, K,) which [is a pl. of pauc., and] occurs in the saying of the Hudhalee, لَوْكَانَ فِى قَلْبِى كَقَدْرِ قُلَامَةٍ

حُبًا لِغَيْرِكِ قَدْ أَتَاهَا أَرْسُلِى

[Had there been in my heart as much as a nailparing of love for another than thee, my messengers (or, accord. to the TA, app., my messages) had come to her]: respecting which IJ says that he has given to رَسُولٌ this form of pl., which is [regularly] proper to feminines [of this class of words, consisting of four letter whereof the third is a letter of prolongation], such as أَتَانٌ and عَنَاقٌ and عُقَابٌ, because women are meant thereby, as they, generally, are the persons required to serve in cases of this kind: (M:) [for] رَسُولٌ is applied without variation to a male and a female, and to one [and to two] and to a pl. number; (S, M, Msb, K;) sometimes: (M:) i. e., it is allowable thus to apply it: (Msb:) hence, (S, K,) in the Kur [xxvi. 15], (S,) إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ [Verily we are the apostles of the Lord of the beings of the whole world]: (S, K:) MF says, in ch. xx. [verse 49], we find إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ [Verily we are the two apostles of thy Lord]; the dual form being here used: and Z says, in the Ksh, that in this instance it means the messengers, and therefore the dual form is necessarily used; but in ch. xxvi. it means the message, and therefore it is allowable to use it alike, when applying it as an epithet, as sing. and dual and pl.: Aboo-Is-hak the Grammarian says that the meaning here is, إِنَّا رِسَالَةٌ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ, i. e. ذَوُو رِسالَةِ [Verily we are those that have the message &c.]: (TA:) [but] رَسُولٌ [as meaning a messenger] is like عَدُوٌّ and صَديقٌ [&c.] in its being used alike as masc. and fem. and sing. [and dual] and pl.: (Sgh, TA:) Aboo-Dhu-eyb uses it in the sense of رُسُل in his saying, أَلِكْنِى إِلَيْهَا وَخَيْرُ الرَّسُو لِ أَعْلَمُهُمْ بِنَوَاحِى الخَبَرْ [Be thou my messenger to her: and the best of messengers is the most knowing of them in respect of the bounds, or limits, of the tidings]. (M.) See 4. The saying in the Kur [xxv. 39], وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ لَمَّ كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ أَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ [lit. And the people of Noah, when they charged with lying the apostles, we drowned them], Zj says, may mean that they charged with lying Noah alone; for he who charges with lying a prophet charges therewith all the prophets, since they believe in God and in all his apostles; or the general term may be here used as meaning one; like as when you say, أَنْتَ مِمَّنْ يُنْفِقُ الدَّرَاهِمَ, meaning “ Thou art of those who expend the kind of things termed دراهم. ” (M.) b3: One says also, السِّهَامُ رُسُلُ المَنَايَا (tropical:) [Arrows are the messengers of death, or of the decrees of death]. (TA.) b4: See also the next paragraph.

رَسِيلٌ Easy: occurring in the saying of Jubeyhà El-Asadee, وَقُمْتُ رَسِيلًا بِالَّذِى جَآءَ يَبْتَغِى

إِلَيْهِ بَلِيجَ الوَجْهِ لَسْتُ بِبَاسِرِ [And I undertook, or managed, with ease, that which he came seeking to obtain; bright in countenance to him: I was not frowning]. (TA.) A2: Also A stallion-camel (K, * TA) of the Arabian race, that is sent among the شَوْل [or she-camels that have passed seven or eight months since the period of their bringing forth] in order that he may leap them: one says, هٰذَا رَسِيلُ بَنِى فُلَانٍ

This is the stallion of the camels of the sons of such a one: and أَرْسَلَ بَنُو فُلَانٍ رَسِيلَهُمْ [The sons of such a one sent the stallion of their camels]: as though it were of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مُفْعَلٌ, from أَرْسَلَ. (TA.) b2: and accord. to some, A horse that is started with another in a race. (Har p. 544.) b3: [In the CK and in a MS. copy of the K, voce عَمُودٌ, it occurs as though meaning The scout, or emissary, or perhaps the advanced guard, of an army: but in other copies of the K, in this instance, accord. to the TA, and in the L, the word is رَئِيس.] b4: I. q. ↓ مُرَاسِلٌ [as meaning one who interchanges messages or letters with another: see 3]. (S, K.) b5: The person who stands with thee (المُوَاقِفُ لَكَ [in the K (in which this explanation is erroneously assigned to ↓ رَسُولٌ) المُوَافِقُ لَكَ in a competition in shooting and the like: (M:) [i. e.] رَسِيلُ الرَّجُلِ signifies he who stands with the man, (يَقِفُ مَعَهُ, Har p. 544,) or he who acts interchangeably, or alternates, with the man, (يُرَاسِلُهُ, S,) in a competition in shooting, or in some other performance. (S and Har.) And, as also ↓ مُرَاسِلٌ, One who relieves, or aids, another, in singing and in work, [by alternating with him, i. e.,] in the former case, by taking up the strain when the other is unable to continue it [so as to accomplish the cadence (see 6)], and in the latter case by taking up the work when the other is unable to continue it; or one who so relieves, or aids, another in singing with a high voice; i. q. مُتَالٍ: or one who aids another, [or relieves him, by alternating with him,] or who follows him, or imitates him, in his work. (IAar, Msb.) One says, هُوَ رَسِيلُهُ فِى الغِنَآءِ وَنَحْوِهِ [He is the person who relieves him, or aids him, by alternating with him, in singing and the like thereof]. (TA.) b6: See also رِسَالَةٌ, in two places.

A3: Also Wide, or ample. (K.) b2: A thing little in quantity, or incomplete: الشَّىْءُ اللَّطِيفُ in the copies of the K should be الشَّىْءُ الطَّفِيفُ, as in the Moheet (TA.) b3: and Sweet water. (K.) رَسَالَةٌ: see the next paragraph.

رِسَالَةٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ رَسَالَةٌ (M, K) and ↓ رَسُولٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ رَسِيلٌ (Th, M, K) signify the same, (S, M, Msb, K,) A message; and a letter; (MA in explanation of the first, and KL in explanation of the first and third;) [a communication sent from one person or party to another, oral or written;] substs. from أَرْسَلَ

إِلَيْهِ: (M, K: *) the pl. of the first is رَسَائِلُ; (Msb;) and أَرْسُلٌ is pl. of ↓ رَسُولٌ in the sense of رِسَالَةٌ, and of the fem. gender. (TA. [See the former of the two verses cited voce رَسُولٌ.]) Yousay, أَرْسَلْتُ فُلَانًا فِى رِسَالَةٍ: (S:) and أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ

↓ رَسُولًا: (MA:) see 4. A poet says, (S,) namely El-Ash'ar El-Joafee, (TA,) ↓ أَلَا أَبْلغْ أَبَا عَمْرٍو رَسُولًا بِأَنِّى عَنْ فُتَاحَتِكُمْ غَنِىُّ [Now deliver thou to Aboo-' Amr a message, saying that I am in no need of your judging]: (S:) or بَنِى عَمْرٍو [the sons of ' Amr]: he means, عَنْ حُكْمكُمْ. (TA.) And hence the saying of Kutheiyir, لَقَدْ كَذَبَ الوَاشُونَ مَا بُحْتُ عِنْدَهُمْ

↓ بِسِرٍّ وَلَا أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ بِرَسُولِ [Assuredly the slanderers have lied: I revealed not in their presence a secret, nor did I send them with a message]: (S, TA:) or, as some relate the second hemistich, (TA,) ↓ بِلَيْلَى وَلَا أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ بِرَسِيلِ [i. e.

(TA.) الرُّسَيْلَى A certain small beast or reptile or insect; expl. by the word دُوَيْبَّةٌ: (M, K, TA:) in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, الرُّسَيْلَآءُ. (TA.) رُسَيْلَاتٌ dim. of رسلات [i. e. رِسَلَاتٌ] pl. of رِسْلٌ [or rather of its syn. رِسْلَةٌ]: hence the saying, (TA,) أَلْقَى الكَلَامَ عَلَى رُسَيْلَاتِهِ, i. e. He held the saying, or speech, in light, or little, or mean, estimation; or in contempt. (M, K, TA.) الرَّاسِلَانِ The two shoulder-blades: or two veins therein: (M, K:) he who says that they are two veins in the two hands, (K,) pointing to what is found in the copies of the Mj of IF, [in which فِى الكَفَّيْنِ is put in the place of فى الكَتِفِيْنِ,] (TA,) is in error: (K:) or the وَابِلَتَانِ [q. v., a word variously explained]: (M, TA:) in the copies of the K, الرَّابِلَتَانِ is erroneously put for الوَابِلَتَانِ. (TA.) مُرْسَلٌ: see رَسُولٌ, second sentence. b2: Applied to a tradition (حَدِيثٌ), it means (assumed tropical:) Of which the ascription is not traced up so as to reach to its author: (Msb:) [i.e.] الأَحَادِيثُ المُرْسَلَةُ means the traditions which one relates as on the authority of a تَابِعِىّ, (K TA,) by tracing up the ascription thereof uninterruptedly to him, (TA,) when the تابعىّ says, “The Apostle of God (May God bless and save him) said,” without mentioning a صَحَابِىّ (K, TA) who heard it from the Apostle of God: (TA: [and the like is said in the Mgh:]) مَرَاسِيلُ is the [pl. or] quasi-pl. n. of مُرْسَلٌ thus used, [or rather used as a subst., or as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant,] like as مَنَاكِيرُ is of مُنْكَرٌ. (Mgh.) b3: In lexicology, it means, like مُنْقَطِعٌ, (assumed tropical:) That of which the series of transmitters is interrupted: as a word &c. handed down by IDrd as on the authority of Az [with whom he was not contemporary, without his mentioning the intermediate transmitters]: and such is not admitted [as unquestionable]; because exactness is a condition of the admission of what is transmitted, and the exactness of him who is not mentioned is not known. (Mz 4th نوع.) b4: مَجَازٌ مُرْسَلٌ: see art. جوز. b5: [See also the next paragraph.]
