فسق

1 فَسَقَ is said to signify primarily It (a thing) went forth, from another thing, in a bad, or corrupt, manner. (Msb.) One says, فَسَقَتِ الرُّطَبَةُ, (S, O, Msb,) or فَسَقَتِ الرُّطَبَةُ عَنْ قِشْرِهَا, (K,) The fresh ripe date came forth from its skin; (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ انفسقت: (IDrd, O, K:) and in like manner فَسَقَ is said of anything as meaning it came forth from its integument: so says EsSarakustee. (Msb.) b2: [Hence] فَسَقَ, aor. ـُ and فَسِقَ, (S, O, Msb, K) the latter aor. mentioned by Akh, (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. فُسُوقٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and فِسْقٌ, (S, O, K,) or this latter is a simple subst.; (Msb;) and likewise فَسُقَ, like كَرُمَ, (K, TA,) mentioned by Lh, but not known by Ks; (TA;) He went forth from, departed from, or quitted, (Mgh, Msb, K,) the right way, (Mgh, K,) or the way of truth, (K,) and the limits of the law, (Mgh,) [or the bounds of] obedience; (Msb;) he forsook, relinquished, or neglected, the command of God; he disobeyed; (K;) or i. q. فَجَرَ [meaning as above; or he transgressed; or acted unrighteously, sinfully, wickedly, vitiously, or immorally]. (S, O, K. [See also فِسْقٌ below.]) فَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِرَبِّهِ (in the Kur [xviii. 48], O, TA) means He departed (خَرَجَ) from the command of his Lord: (Th, S, O, K:) or from the obeying [of the command] of his Lord: (Fr, O, TA:) and Akh says that this phrase is like اِتَّخَمَ عن الطَّعامِ, (S, O,) meaning عَنْ مَأْكَلِهِ, (S,) or عَنْ أَكْلِهِ الطَّعَامَ; but Th says that there is no need of this [explanation]: or, accord. to AO, it means he declined, or deviated, from obeying the command of his Lord: (O:) for فَسَقَ signifies also he declined, or deviated: (K:) and hence the saying, فَسَقَتِ الرِّكَابُ عَنْ قَصْدِ السَّبِيلِ i. e. [The ridden camels] declined [from the right direction of the way]. (TA.) Sometimes فُسُوقٌ may mean The believing in a plurality of gods: and it may mean the committing sin. (A Heyth, O.) And it is said to mean The calling one another by names of reproach: (Zj, * Mgh, TA:) or the saying “ O Jew,” and “ O Christian,” after one has become a believer: thus in the Kur xlix. 11. (TA.) b3: One says also, فَسَقَ فِى

الدُّنْيَا, inf. n. فِسْقٌ, meaning He had a wide, or an ample, range in respect of worldly things, and made them light and easy to himself, being without restraint in his management of them, not making them strait to him. (Ktr, Sh, TA.) b4: And فَسَقَ مَالَهُ He made away with his property; and disposed of it, or spent it. (TA.) 2 تَفْسِيقٌ is the contr. of تَعْدِيلٌ: (O, K, TA:) one says فسّقهُ, (O, TA,) inf. n. تَفْسِيقٌ, (TA,) He (the judge) pronounced him to be characterized by فِسْق [q. v.]: (O, TA:) he attributed to him فِسْق. (TA.) 7 إِنْفَسَقَ see 1, second sentence. b2: [Hence,] انفسق مِنَ الخَيْرِ, said of the فَاسِق, He divested himself, or became divested, of good. IDrd, O.) فِسْقٌ is an inf. n., (S, O, K,) or a simple subst., (Msb,) from فَسَقَ [q. v]: (S, O, Msb, K:) unless as signifying [simply] A going forth, or a departure, it is said to be a word unknown before ElIslám, and to have become so much used in its legal acceptation as to be, when so used, conventionally regarded as proper (MF, TA:) [thus used,] it signifies a going forth, or departure, from the right way, (K, TA,) which is said to be the primary meaning, (TA,) or from the way of truth; (K, TA;) or from the truth, or that which is right, as in the phrase وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ, (O, K, [in the CK لَفَسِقٌ, a strange mistake,]) in the Kur [vi. 121]; (O;) or a relinquishment, or neglect, of the command of God; (Lth, O, K;) and an inclining to disobedience; (Lth, O;) or also disobedience [itself]; (K;) or i. q. فُجُورٌ [meaning as above; or transgression; or unrighteous, sinful, wicked, vitious, or immoral, conduct]: (O, K:) it is said by El-Isbahánee to be a more general term than كُفْرٌ; applying to few sins, misdeeds, transgressions, or acts of disobedience, or to little thereof; and also, to many, or much thereof; but is commonly known as applying to the latter: and it is related on the authority of Málik that in the Kur vi. 146 it means such as is slaughtered: (TA:) [being used as a subst.,] it sometimes has a pl., which is فُسُوقٌ. (TA.) فُسَقٌ (Lth, O, K) and ↓ فِسِّيقٌ, (Lth, S, O, K,) applied to a man, Always characterized by فِسْق. (Lth, S, O, K.) b2: يَافُسَقُ means يَا أَيُّهَا الفَاسِقُ [O thou فَاسِق]; (S, O, K;) like يَا خُبَثُ, meaning يَا أَيُّهَا انخَبِيثُ; فُسَقُ being determinate, as is shown by their saying يَا فُسَقُ الخَبِيثُ, thus prefixing ال to خبيث: (S, O:) and to a woman they say ↓ يَا فَسَاقِ, like قَطَامِ, (S, O, K,) meaning يَا فَاسِقَةُ (K) [or rather يَا أَيُّهَا الفَاسِقَةُ].

فَسْقِيَّةٌ, with fet-h, [often pronounced فِسْقِيَّة,] a post-classical word, [arabicized, from the Lat.

“ piscina,”] i. q. مُتَوَضَّأٌ [properly A place, here meaning a tank, or basin, in which the ablution termed وُضُوْء is performed: now commonly applied to a basin, or shallow pool, of water, in the court of a house, or in a room, generally having in the centre a fountain that throws up water:] pl. فَسَاقِيُّ. (TA.) فَسَاقِ: see فُسَقٌ فِسِّيقٌ: see فُسَقٌ فَاسِقٌ Going forth, or departing, or one who goes forth, or departs, [from the right way, or the way of truth, and the limits of the law, or] from [the bounds of] obedience; (Msb;) disobedient [to God]; (Mgh, TA;) [transgressing, or a transgressor; unrighteous, sinful, wicked, vitious, or immoral;] mostly applied to one who has taken upon himself to observe what the law ordains, and has acknowledged its authority, and then fallen short of observance in respect of all, or of some, of its ordinances: and when the person fundamentally, or utterly, an unbeliever is thus termed, it is because he falls short of observing the ordinance that the intellect renders obligatory on him and that the natural constitution with which he was created in his mother's womb requires to be conceded; hence the believer is contrasted with him in the Kur xxxii. 18; so فَاسِقٌ is a more general term than كَافِرٌ; and ظَالِمٌ is a more general term than فَاسِقٌ: (El-Isbahánee, TA:) accord. to IDrd, (O,) the فَاسِق is thus called because of his divesting himself, or becoming divested, of good: (O, K:) the word has not been heard in the speech of the people of the Time of Ignorance, (IAar, S, O, Msb, K,) nor in their poetry, (IAar, S, O, K,) though it is an Arabic word, (IAar, S, O, Msb, K,) and a chaste one, and the Kur-án has used it: (IAar, Msb:) the pl. is فَسَقَةٌ and فُسَّاقٌ: (Msb:) فَوَاسِقُ, [pl. of فَاسِقَةٌ,] applied to women, signifies فَوَاجِرُ [generally meaning adulteresses, or fornicatresses]. (TA.) b2: The five animals, or living things, (الحَيَوَانَاتُ الخَمْسُ, [specified voce حَيَوَانٌ,]) are metaphorically termed فَوَاسِقُ [as though meaning (tropical:) Transgressors] (Mgh, Msb) because of their noxiousness, (Mgh,) or because of their much, or frequent, noxiousness and harmfulness, so that they may be killed in the case of freedom from إِحْرَام and in the state of إِحْرَام, and in prayer, which is not rendered ineffectual thereby: (Msb:) or because of their being out of the pale of inviolability: or, as some [unreasonably] say, because the eating of them is forbidden. (Mgh.) فَاسِقِيَّةٌ A certain mode of attiring oneself with the turban. (Z, O, K.) One says, تَعَمَّمَ فُلَانٌ الفَاسِقيَّةَ [Such a one attired himself with the turban in the mode termed الفاسقيّة]. (TA.) الفُوَيْسِقَةُ The rat, or mouse; syn. الفَأْرَةُ: (S, O, K:) so called because it comes forth from its hole upon people: (O, K:) or, accord. to Z, because it does mischief in houses: and it is said in a trad. that it is to be killed: the word is the dim. of فَاسِقَةٌ. (TA.) أَفْسَقُ [More, or most, characterized by فِسْق]. The Arabs say, لَعَنَ اللّٰهُ أَفْسَقِى وأَفْسَقَكَ, meaning, الأَفْسَقَ مِنَّا [i. e. May God curse the more characterized by فِسْق, of us, or of me and thee]. (Fr, O.)

فيض

1 فَاضَ, (S, M, Mgh, &c.,) aor. ـِ inf. n. فَيْضٌ (S, M, O, Msb, K) and فَيْضُوضَةٌ (S, O, K) andفُيُوضٌ (M, O, K) and فِيُوضٌ and فُيُوضَةٌ (M, K) and فَيَضَانٌ, (M, O, K,) It (water) overflowed: poured out, or forth, from fulness: (Mgh:) it (water, S, O, K, or a torrent, Msb) became abundant, (S, O, Msb, K and flowed from [over] the brink of the valley, (Msb,) or so as to flow over the side of the valley, (S, O,) or so as to flow like a valley; (K;) and ↓ افاض signifies the same: (Msb, TA:) it (water) became abundant: (TA:) [contr. of غَاضَ, aor. ـِ it (water, and that of the eyes, and the like, M, or anything fluid, Msb) ran, or flowed: (M, Msb:) or it poured out, or forth; or poured out, or forth, vehemently; gushed out, or forth: (M:) and it (water, and blood,) fell in drops. (Msb.) b2: It (a vessel) became full: (Msb:) [or it overflowed: for you say,] فَاضَ النَّهْرُ بِمَائِهِ The river overflowed with its water: and فَاضَ الإِنَآءُ بِمَا فِيهِ The vessel overflowed with what was in it: (Msb:) and a poet says, شَكَوْتُ وَمَا الشَّكْوَى لِمِثْلِىَ عَادَةً

وَلٰكِنْ تَفِيضُ الكَأْسُ عِنْدَ امْتِلَائِهَا [I complained; and complaint is not a custom of the like of me; but the cup overflows on the occasion of its being full]. (A) You say also فَاضَتْ عَيْنُهُ, aor. as above, inf. n. فَيْضٌ, The eye flowed [with tears]. (TA.) And فَاصَ عَرَقًا, said of a man, [He sweated;] sweat appeared upon his body, on an occasion of grief. (IKtt) b3: (assumed tropical:) It (a thing) was, or became, much, abundant, many, or unmerous. (O, K.) You say, فَاضَ اللِّئَامُ (assumed tropical:) The mean became many: (S, O:) opposed to غَاضَ, q. v. (S and A in art. غيض.) And فَاضَ الخَيْرُ (tropical:) Good, or wealth, &c., became abundant, (A, Msb,) فِيهِمْ among them. (A.) b4: Aor. as above, (S,) inf. n. فَيْضٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) It (a piece of news, or a story,) spread abroad; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ استفاض; (S, M, A, Msb, K, TA;) it spread abroad among the people. (Msb and TA in explanation of the latter verb,) like water. (TA.) ↓ The latter is also said of a place, meaning (tropical:) It became wide, or ample. (A.) And you say, فَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الدِّرْعُ (tropical:) [The coat of mail spread over him; or covered him]. (A.) b5: Aor. as above, inf. n. فَيْضٌ and فُيُوضٌ, (tropical:) He (a man, S, O, K) died: (S, M, O, K:) and, (S, M, O, K,) in like manner, (S, O,) فَاضَتٌ نَفْسُهُ, (S, M, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (M,) inf. n. فَيْضٌ, (M, Msb,) (tropical:) his soul departed, or went forth; (S, M, A, * Mgh, * O, Msb, K;) of the dial. of Temeem; (S, M, O;) on the authority of AO and Fr; and Az says the like; but As says that one should not say, فاض الرَّجُلُ, nor فاضت نفسه, for فاض is only said of tears and of water: (S, O:) to which is added in the O, but one says, فَاظَ, with ظ, [as is also said in the Mgh,] as meaning “ he died,” and not فاض, with ض, decidedly: (TA:) [see, however, the remarks of IB below:] or the more chaste expression is فاظ, with ظ, without the mention of the نفس; and some do not allow any other: (Msb:) but in the L we find as follows: IAar says. فاض الرجل and فاظ, meaning “ the man died: ” and Abu-l-Hasan says, فاظت نفسه, the verb relating to the نفس; and فاض الرجل and فاظ: but As says, I heard AA say that one should not say, فاظت نفسه, but فاظ, meaning “ he died; ” and not فاض, with ض, decidedly: IB, however, says that what IDrd has cited from As is different from that which J has ascribed to him; for IDrd cites the words of As thus: the Arabs says, فاظ الرجل, meaning “ the man died; ” but when they speak of the نفس, they say فاضت نفسه, with ض; and he quotes the ex.

فَفُقِئَتْ عَيْنٌ وَفَاضَتْ نَفْسُ [And an eye was put out, and a soul departed]: and he [IB] adds that this is what is commonly known to be the opinion of As: but J has committed and error; for As quotes from AA that one should not say, فاظت نفسه, but فاظ, meaning “ he died; ” not فاض, decidedly and he also says, nor does it necessarily follow from what he relates that he firmly believed it: AO says that فاظت نفسه is of the dial. of Keys; and فاضت, of the dial of Temeem and AHát says, I heard Az say that Benoo-Dabbeh alone say, فاضت نفسه: in like manner also El-Mázinee says. on the authority of Az. that all the Arabs say, فاظت نفسه. except Benoo-Dabbeh, who say, فاضت نفسه with ض. (TA.) [See also art. فيظ. It is further said, that] الفَيْضُ signifies Death: (A, K;) as occurring in a trad respecting Ed-Dejjál, where it is said, ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَى أَثَرِ ذٰلِكَ الفَيْضُ [Then shall be, after that, death] (A, TA:) Sh says, I asked El-Bekráwee respecting this, and he asserted الفيض, in this case, to signify “ death; ” but I have not heard it from any other; unless it be from فَاضَتْ نَفْسَهُ signifying His slaver collecting upon his lips at the departure of his soul [flowed]. (TA.) b6: You say also فَاضَ صدْرُهُ مِنَ الغَيْظِ (tropical:) [His bosom overflowed with wrath, or rage], (A, TA.) And فَاضَ صَدْرُهُ بِالسِّرِّ His bosom disclosed, or concealed, the secret; (S, O, K;) his bosom could not conceal the secret; (M;) his bosom was full with the secret, and disclosed it, not being able to conceal it. (TA.) b7: And فَيْضٌ is used as meaning (assumed tropical:) God's suggesting (إِلْقَآء) [of a thing]: what the Devil suggests (يُلْقِيهِ) is termed الوَسْوَسَةُ. (Kull p. 277.) b8: فَاضَ البَعِيرُ بِجِرَّتِهِ: see 4, latter half.4 افاض: see 1, first sentence.

A2: He filled a vessel so that it overflowed: (S, M, O, K:) or [simply] he filled a vessel, (M, Msb,) accord. to Lh; but the former. [says ISd,] in my opinion, is the correct signification. (M.) b2: He made water, and tears, and the like, to run, or flow; or to pour out, or forth; or to pour out, or forth, vehemently; to gush out, or forth: (M:) he poured [water &c.] out, or forth: (A, TA:) or he poured water out, or forth, copiously. (Mgh.) You say, افاض المَآءَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ, (S, O, K,) or على جَسَدِهِ, (Msb,) He poured the water (S, O, Msb, K) upon himself, (S, O, K,) or upon his body. (Msb.) And افاض دُمُوعَهُ, (S,) or دَمْعَهُ, (Msb,) He poured forth his tears. (Msb.) And افاضت العَيْنُ الدَّمْعَ [The eye poured forth tears]. (TA.) b3: افاض اللّٰهُ الخَيْرَ (tropical:) God made good, or wealth, &c., to abound. (Msb.) b4: افاض عَلَيْهِ الدِّرْعَ (tropical:) He put on him the coat of mail: like as you say صَبَّهَا [lit he poured it]. (A, TA.) b5: أَفَاضُوا مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ (tropical:) They pushed on, pressed on, or went quickly, syn. دَفَعُوا, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) or اِنْدَفَعُوا, (M, A,) with multitude, (M, Mgh, O,) from 'Arafát, (S, M, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) to Minè, (S, M, O,) exclaiming لَبَّيْكَ: (M:) or they returned, and dispersed themselves from 'Arafát: (O, K:) or they hastened from 'Arafát to another place: (K:) the last rendering is taken from Ibn-'Arafeh; and agreeably with all of these renderings, the phrase in the Kur [ii. 194], فَإِذَا أَفَضْتُمْ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ, has been explained: (TA:) and [in like manner,] you say افاضوا مِنَ مِنَى إِلَى

مَكِّةَ (tropical:) They returned from Mine to Mekkeh; on the day of the sacrifice: (Msb:) إِفَاضَةٌ signifies (tropical:) the advancing, and pushing on, or pressing on, in journeying, or pace, (A, * TA,) and the like, (A,) with multitude, and is only after a state of separation and congregation: (TA:) it is from the same word as signifying the “ pouring out, or forth; ” (A, O, TA,) or from افاض المَآءَ signifying

“ he poured the water out, or forth, copiously ” (Mgh:) and the original expression is افاض نَفْسَهُ. or رَاحِلَتَهُ; but they omit the objective complement, and hence the verb resembles one that is intrans.: (O, TA:) or افاضة signifies the quickly impelling or urging [a beast] to run, with one's foot or leg, or feet or legs: and افاض, he (a (??)) made his camel to exert himself beyond measure, (??) quick run, between the utmost (??) and what is (??) than that; افاضة denoting the half [of the fall (??) of the run of camels having riders upon these; and being only applied when they have riders upon them: (Khálid Ibn-Jembeh:) and every دَفْعَة [or act of pushing on, or pressing (??),] is termed إِفَاضَةٌ. (S, Msb, K.) Hence, طَوَافُ الإِفَاضَةِ, signifying The (??) [around the K(??) the return from Mine to Mekkeh; (Msb, TA) on the day of the sacrifice: (TA:) or the circuiting of visitation. (Mgh.) b6: افاضوا فِى الحَدِيثِ (tropical:) They pushed on, or pressed on, in discourse; syn. اِنْدَفَعُوا: (Lh, S, M, A, O,) they entered thereinto; launched forth, or cut, thereinto: (Lh, M, O;) they were large, or copious, or profuse, therein; (O, TA:) or they dilated therein (M:) or they began, commenced, or entered upon, discourse: (Msb;) as also ↓ استفاضوهُ, (M, Msb,) accord. to some; (Msb;) but this latter is disallowed by most; (M;) or by the skilful, (Msb.) You say also, افاض فِى عَمَلٍ (assumed tropical:) He entered into an action, or employment; and pushed on, or pressed on, therein: (Bd in x. 62:) or he began it, commenced it, or entered upon it. (Jel, ibid.) b7: افاض بَالشَّيْءِ He impelled, or thrust, with the thing: (M:) he cast, or threw, the thing. (M, TA.) b8: افاض البَعِيرُ بِجِرَّتِهِ, (Lh, S, M, A, O,) and (S, O) افاض alone, (S, O, K,) and بِجِرَّتِهِ ↓ فَاضَ, (TA,) (tropical:) The camel propelled his cud (Lh, S, M, A, K) from his inside, (Lh, M, A,) or from his stomach, (S, K,) and expelled it, or ejected it: (S:) or cast it forth in a scattered and copious state: or it means [he made to be heard] the sound of his cud, and of his chewing. (M.) b9: مَا افاض بِكَلِمَةٍ (assumed tropical:) He did not make clear, or distinct, or perspicuous, a word, or sentence. (Msb, TA.) [And ما افاض بكلمة signifies the same.] b10: افاض بِالقِدَاحِ, (S, M, A, O, K,) and عَلَى القِدَاحِ, meaning بِالقِدَاحِ, for prepositions stand in the places of other prepositions, (S, O,) and افاض القِدَاحَ, (O, K,) (tropical:) i. q. ضَرَبَ بِالقِدَاحِ [which has two significations: He turned about, or shuffled, the gaming-arrows: and he played with the gaming-arrows]: (S, M, A, O, K:) and أَجَالَهَا [which has the former of the above significations]: or he dealt them forth. (TA.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, describing a [wild] he-ass and his she-asses, فَكَأَنَّهُنَّ رِبَابَةٌ وَكَأَنَّهُ يَسَرٌ يُفِيضُ عَلَى القِدَاحِ وَيَصْدَعُ (S, TA) (tropical:) [And it was as though they were a bundle of gaming-arrows, and as though he were a shuffler thereof, shuffling or] dealing out the arrows, and deciding, and making known what he produced: (TA:) or, accord. to Kh, and speaking with his loudest voice, saying “ The arrow of such a one has won,” or “ This is the arrow of such a one: ” or, accord. to some, distributing, or dispensing, by means of the arrows: (TA in art. صدع:) by عَلَى القِدَاحِ is meant بِالقِدَاحِ. (S voce عَلَى.) One relation of this verse substitutes يَخُوضُ for يُفِيضُ. (TA.) Az says that إِفَاض [a mistranscription for إِفَاضَةٌ] is always a consequence of a state of separation, or dispersion, and abundance, or copiousness. (TA.) b11: Hence the saying in a trad. respecting a thing picked up from the ground, ثُمَّ أَفِضْهَا مِنْ مَالِكَ, [app. a mistake for فِى مَالِكَ,] i. e. (assumed tropical:) Then put thou, or throw thou, it, and mix it, among thy property.

1 ظَلَمَ, aor. ـِ has for its inf. n. ظَلْمٌ, (M, Msb, K, and so in some copies of the S,) or ↓ ظُلْمٌ, (so in other copies of the S,) or both, (T,) or the latter is a simple subst., (T, M, Msb, TA,) which is put in the place of the inf. n., (TA, [and the same is indicated in the T and K by the saying that the proper inf. n. is with fet-h,]) and ↓ مَظْلِمَةٌ, (S, TA,) or this is likewise a simple subst., (Msb,) and ↓ مَظْلَمَةٌ, [or this also is a simple subst.,] and ↓ ظِلَامٌ also is said to be an inf. n. like ظُلْمٌ, these two being like لِبَاسٌ and لُبْسٌ, [or it is a simple subst. like as ظُلْمٌ is said to be, or it is an inf. n. of 3, as such occurring in the middle of this paragraph,] or, accord. to Kr, it is pl. of ظُلْمٌ [like as رِمَاحٌ is pl. of رُمْحٌ]: (TA:) [ظَلَمَ when intrans. generally means He did wrong; or acted wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically: and when trans., he wronged; or treated, or used, wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically; or he misused:] accord. to most of the lexicologists, (Er-Rághib, TA,) primarily, (As, T, S, Msb,) ↓ الظُّلْمُ signifies the putting a thing in a place not its own; putting it in a wrong place; misplacing it: (As, T, S, M, Er-Rághib, Msb, K:) and it is by exceeding or by falling short, or by deviating from the proper time and place: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or the acting in whatsoever way one pleases in the disposal of the property of another: and the transgressing the proper limit: (El-Munáwee, TA:) [i. e.] the transgressing the proper limit much or little: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or, accord. to some, it primarily signifies النَّقْص [as meaning the making to suffer loss, or detriment]: (MF, TA:) and it is said to be of three kinds, between man and God, and between man and man, and between a man and himself; every one of which three is really لِلنَّفْسِ [i. e. a wrongdoing to oneself]: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [when it is used as a simple subst.,] the pl. of ظُلْمٌ, accord. to Kr. is ظِلَامٌ, as mentioned above, and ↓ ظُلَامٌ, with damm, is said to be syn. with ظُلْمٌ, or a pl. thereof, [of an extr. form, commonly regarded as that of a quasi-pl. n.,] like رُخَالٌ. (TA.) One says, مَنِ اسْتَرْعَى الذِّئْبَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ [He who asks, or desires, the wolf to keep guard surely does wrong, or puts a thing in a wrong place]: a prov. (S, Msb.) And مَنْ أَشْبَهَ أَبَاهُ فَمَا ظَلَمَ, (As, T, S,) a prov., meaning [Whoso resembles his father in a quality, or an attribute,] he has not put the likeness in a wrong place. (As, T. [See art. شبه.]) وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا, in the Kur [xviii. 31], means وَلَمْ تَنْقُصْ [i. e. And made not aught thereof to suffer loss, or detriment]: (M, K:) and in like manner Fr explains the saying in the Kur [ii. 54 and vii. 160], وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ And they made not us to suffer loss, or detriment, by that which they did, but themselves they made to suffer loss, or detriment: (T, TA:) in which sense it seems to be indicated in the A that the verb is tropical. (TA.) b2: It is also trans. by means of بِ; as in the phrase in the Kur [vii. 101 and xvii. 61] فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا, because the meaning is كَفَرُوا [i. e. And they disbelieved in them], referring to the آيَات [or signs]; (M, TA; *) the verb having this meaning tropically or by implication; or being thus made trans. because implying the meaning of التَّكْذِيب: or [the meaning is, and they wronged themselves, or the people, because of them; for], as some say, the ب is causative, and the objective complement, i. e. أَنْفُسَهُمْ, or النَّاسَ, is suppressed. (TA.) b3: and it is doubly trans. by itself: (TA:) one says, ظَلَمَهُ حَقَّهُ [He made him to suffer loss, or detriment, of his right, or due; or defrauded, or despoiled, or deprived, him of it]; and حَقَّهُ ↓ تظلّمهُ: (M, K:) [and] you say, فُلَانٌ ↓ تَظَلَّمَنِى, [as well as تظلّمنى مَالِى, occurring in a verse cited in the M,] meaning ظَلَمَنِى مَالِى [i. e. Such a one caused me to suffer loss, &c., of my property]. (S.) It is said in the Kur [iv. 44], إِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ, for لَا يَظْلِمُهُمْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةِ, and the verb is made doubly trans. because the meaning is لَا يَسْلُبُهُمْ [i. e. Verily God will not despoil them, or deprive them, of the weight of one of the smallest of ants, or a grub of an ant, &c.]: or مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ, may be put in the place of the inf. n., for ظَلْمًا حَقِيرًا كَمِثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ [i. e. with a paltry spoliation or deprivation, such as the weight of one of the smallest of ants, &c.]. (M.) b4: One says also, أَرَادَ ظِلَامَهُ and مُظَالَمَتَهُ, [these two nouns being inf. ns. of ↓ ظَالَمَهُ, or the former, as mentioned above, is, accord. to some, an inf. n. of ظَلَمَ,] meaning ظُلْمَهُ or ظَلْمَهُ [i. e. He desired the wronging, &c., of him]. (M, K.) b5: ظَلَمَهُ, inf. n. ظُلْمٌ [or ظَلْمٌ?], also means He imposed upon him a thing that was above his power, or ability. (TA.) And يُظْلَمُ He is asked for a thing that is above his power, or ability. (S.) b6: And one says, ظَلَمَ البَعِيرَ (tropical:) He slaughtered the camel without disease. (S, K, TA.) And ظُلِمَتِ النَّاقَةُ (assumed tropical:) The she-camel was slaughtered without disease: or was covered without her desiring the stallion. (M.) And ظَلَمَ الحِمَارُ الأَتَانَ (tropical:) The he-ass leaped the she-ass (K, TA) before her time: (TA:) or when she was pregnant: (K, TA:) so in the A. (TA.) b7: And ظَلَمَ الوَطْبَ, (S, K,) inf. n. ظُلْمٌ [or ظَلْمٌ?], (S,) (tropical:) He gave to drink of the milk of his skin before its becoming thick (S, K, TA) and its butter's coming forth. (TA. [And the like is said in the T and M.]) And ظَلَمَ القَوْمَ (assumed tropical:) He gave to drink to the people, or party, (T, M, K,) milk before it had attained to maturity, (T, K,) as related on the authority of A 'Obeyd, (T,) or [milk such as is termed] ظَلِيمَة: (M:) but this is a mistake: it is related on the authority of Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e. Th] and AHeyth that one says, ظَلَمْتُ السِّقَآءَ, and اللَّبَنَ, meaning I drank, or gave to drink, what was in the skin, and the milk, before its attaining to maturity and the extracting of its butter: accord. to ISk, one says, ظَلَمْتُ وَطْبِىَ القَوْمَ, [but I think that it is correctly ظَلَمْتُ وَطْبِى لِلْقَومِ, agreeably with a verse cited in the T and M,] meaning I gave to drink [to the people, or party,] the contents of my milk-skin before the thickening thereof. (T.) And ظَلَمْتُهُ is said of anything as meaning (assumed tropical:) I did it hastily, or hurriedly, before its proper time, or season. (M, TA.) b8: ظَلَمْتُ الحَوْضَ means (assumed tropical:) I made the watering-trough in a place in which watering-troughs should not be made. (ISk, T.) And ظَلَمَ الأَرْضَ means (tropical:) He dug the ground in what was not the place of digging: (M, K, TA:) or when it had not been dug before. (M.) And, said of a torrent, (assumed tropical:) It furrowed the earth in a place that was not furrowed. (T.) And ظَلَمَ البِطَاحَ, said of a torrent, (tropical:) It reached the بطاح [or wide water-courses containing fine, or broken, pebbles, &c.], not having reached them before. (A, TA.) And ظَلَمَ الوَادِى (tropical:) The water of the valley reached a place that it had not reached before. (Fr, T, S, K, TA.) b9: When men have added upon the grave other than its own earth, لَا تَظْلِمُوا (tropical:) [Transgress not ye the proper limit] is said to them. (TA.) b10: And one says, لَا تَظْلِمْ وَضَحَ الطَّرِيقِ (assumed tropical:) Turn not thou from the main part, or the beaten track, of the road. (M.) And لَا تَظْلِمْ عَنْهُ شَيْئَا (assumed tropical:) Turn not thou from it at all. (T.) And لَزِمَ الطَّرِيقَ فَلَمْ يَظْلِمْهُ (assumed tropical:) [He kept to the road, and] did not turn from it to the right and left. (TA.) b11: And مَا ظَلَمَكَ

أَنْ تَفْعَلَ (T, K, TA) (tropical:) What has prevented thy doing (K, TA) such a thing? (TA.) A man complained to Abu-l-Jarráh of his suffering indigestion from food that he had eaten, and he said to him, مَا ظَلَمَكَ أَنْ تَقِىْءَ (assumed tropical:) [What has prevented thy vomiting?]. (Fr, T.) And one says, مَا ظَلَمَكَ عَنْ كَذَا (assumed tropical:) What has prevented thee from such a thing? (T.) Respecting the saying قَالَ بَلَى يَا مَىَّ وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمْ [addressed by a man to a woman who had invited him to visit her], Fr says, they say that the meaning is حَقًّا [Truly, or in truth; i. e. He said, Yes, O Meiya, truly, or in truth, I will visit thee]; and it is a prov.; (T;) or اليَوْمُ ظَلَمَ, or بَلَى وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمَ, is a prov.; (Meyd;) and thus it was expl. by IAar, as used in the manner of an oath: but Fr says, in my opinion the meaning is, and a day in which is a cause of prevention shall not prevent me: [so that the words of the hemistich above may be rendered, he said, Yes, O Meiya, though the day present an obstacle, for I will overcome every obstacle]: (T:) accord. to Kr, قَدِمَ فُلَانٌ وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمَ means Such a one came truly, or in truth: [or it may be rendered such a one came though the day presented an obstacle:] but in the saying إِنَّ الفِرَاقَ اليَوْمَ وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمْ the meaning is said by some to be وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَمَنَا [i. e. Verily separation is to-day, and the day has wronged (us)]: or, as some say, ظلم here means, has put the thing in a wrong place: (M:) accord. to ISk, the phrase وَاليَوْمُ ظَلَم means[And, or but, or though,] the day has put the affair in a wrong place. (T.) [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 911.]

A2: ظَلِمَ, said of the night: see 4.2 ظلّمهُ, inf. n. تَظْلِيمٌ, (T, S, &c.,) He told him that he was ظَالِم [i. e. doing wrong or acting wrongfully &c., or a wrongdoer]: (T:) or he attributed, or imputed, to him ظُلْم [i. e. wrongdoing, &c.]. (S, M, Msb, K.) b2: And He (a judge) exacted justice for him from his wronger, and aided him against him. (T.) 3 ظَاْلَمَ see 1, in the middle of the paragraph.4 اظلم, said of the night, (Fr, T, S, M, Msb, K,) and ↓ ظَلِمَ, (Fr, T, S, K,) the latter with kesr, (S,) like سَمِعَ, (K,) [erroneously written in the TT as from the M ظَلَمَ,] It became dark; (S, K;) or it became black; (M;) or it came with its darkness. (Msb.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 19], وَإِذَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا [And when it becomes dark to them they stand still]; the verb being intrans.: or, accord. to the Ksh, and Bd follows it, it may be trans. [so that the meaning is, and when He makes their place dark &c.]; as is shown by another reading, which is أُظْلِمُوا: accord. to AHei, it is known by transmission as only intrans.; but Z makes it to be trans. by itself; Ibn-Es-Saláh affirms it to be trans. and intrans.: and Az [so in the TA, but correctly ISd, in the M,] mentions the saying, تَكَلَّمَ فَأَظْلَمَ عَلَيْنَا البَيعتَ (assumed tropical:) [He spoke, and made dark to us the house, or chamber, or tent], meaning he made us to hear what we disliked, or hated, the verb being trans. (TA.) b2: And أَظْلَمُوا They entered upon the ظَلَام [or darkness, or beginning of night]: (S, M, Msb, K:) or, as in the Mufradát [of Er-Rághib], they became in darkness. (TA.) b3: And they said, مَا أَظْلَمَهُ and ما أَضْوَأَهُ [How dark is it! and How light, or bright, is it!]; which is anomalous. (S, TA.) A2: And اظلم الثَّغْرُ The front teeth glistened. (T, K.) Hence the saying [of a poet], إِذَا مَا اجْتَلَى الرَّائِى إِلَيْهَا بِطَرْفِهِ غُرُوبَ ثَنَايَاهَا أَضَآءَ وَأَظْلَمَا [as though meaning, When the beholder of her with his eye looks at the fineness, or sharpness, (but غُرُوب is variously explained,) of her central teeth, it shines brightly, and glistens: but Az plainly indicates another meaning; i. e., he sees (lit. lights on, or finds,) brightness and lustre; for he immediately adds, without the intervention of وَ or أَوْ, evidently in relation to this verse,] أَضَآءَ

أَىْ أَصَابَ ضَوْءًا وَأَظْلَمَ أَصَابَ ظَلْمًا: (T:) [and ISd cites the verse above with the substitution of بِعَينِهِ for بِطَرْفِهِ and of أَنَارَ for أَضَآءَ immediately after saying that] أَظْلَمَ signifies he looked at the teeth and saw lustre (الظَّلْمَ). (M.) [In the K, next after the explanation of اظلم الثَّغْرُ given above, it is added that اظلم said of a man signifies أَصَابَ ظَلْمًا: thus, with fet-h, to the ظ, accord. to the TA: in my MS. copy of the K and in the CK, ظُلْمًا, which is doubtless a mistranscription.]5 تظلّم مِنْهُ CCC (T, S, M, K, [but in some copies of the S, منه is omitted,]) He complained of his ظُلْم [or wrongdoing, &c.], (S, M, K,) إِلَى الحَاكِمِ [to the judge]: (T:) in some copies of the S, تُظُلِّمَ. (TA.) b2: And تظلّم signifies also He transferred the responsibility for the ظُلْم [or wrongdoing, &c.,] upon himself, (M, K,) accord. to IAar, who has cited as an ex., كَانَتْ إِذَا غَضِبَتْ عَلَىَّ تَظَلَّمَتْ [as though meaning She used, when she was angry with me, to transfer the responsibility for the wrongdoing upon herself; which may mean that she finally confessed the wrongdoing to be hers]; but [ISd says] I know not how that is: the تَظَلُّم in this case is only the complaining of الظُّلْم; for when she was angry with him, it was not allowable [to say] that she attributed the ظُلْم to herself. (M.) b3: See also 1, former half, in two places.6 تظالم القَوْمُ (S, M, Msb) The people, or company of men, treated, or used, one another wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically (ظَلَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا). (M, Msb.) b2: And [hence]

تَظَالَمَتِ المِعْزَى (tropical:) The goats smote one another with their horns by reason of their being fat and having abundance of herbage. (IAar, M, TA.) One says, وَجَدْنَا أَرْضًا تَظَالَمَ مِعْزَاهَا (tropical:) We found a land whereof the goats smote one another with their horns by reason of satiety and liveliness. (T, TA.) 7 إِنْظَلَمَ see the next paragraph.8 اِظَّلَمَ (T, S, M, K) and اِظْطَلَمَ and اِطَّلَمَ, (S, M,) which last is [said to be] the most usual, (S,) [but I have mostly found the first to be used,] of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ, (S, M,) He took upon himself [the bearing of] ظُلْم [or wrong, &c.,] in spite of difficulty, trouble, or inconvenience: (S, TA:) or he bore الظُّلْم [or wrong, &c.,] (T, M, K, TA,) willingly, being able to resist; (T, TA;) and ↓ اِنْظَلَمَ signifies [thus likewise, or] he bore الظُّلْم. (S, M, K.) ظَلْمٌ The lustre, and brightness, of gold. (Z, TA.) b2: And hence, (Z, TA,) The lustre (lit. running water) upon the teeth; (Lth, T, Z, TA;) the lustre (مَآء, S, M, K, and بَرِيق, S, K) of the teeth, (Lth, T, S, M, Z, K, TA,) from the clearness of the colour, not from the saliva, (Lth, * T, * M,) like blackness within the bone thereof, by reason of the intense whiteness, (S, K,) resembling the فِرِنْد [q. v.] of the sword, (S, K,) or appearing like the فِرِنْد [of the sword], so that one imagines that there is in it a blackness, by reason of the intense lustre and clearness: (M:) or, accord. to Sh, whiteness of the teeth, as though there were upon it [somewhat of] a blackness: or, as Abu-l-'Abbás ElAhwal says, in the Expos. of the “ Kaabeeyeh,”

lustre (lit. running water) of the teeth, such that one sees upon it, by reason of its intense clearness [app. meaning transparency], what resembles dustcolour and blackness: or, accord. to another explanation, fineness, or thinness, and intense whiteness, of the teeth: (TA:) pl. ظُلُومٌ. (S, M.) b3: Also Snow: (M, K:) it is said to have this meaning: and the phrase مُشْرَبَةِ الثَّنَايَا بِمَآءِ الظَّلْمِ, used by a poet, may mean [Having the central teeth suffused with the lustre termed ظَلْم, as is indicated in the T and S, or] with the water of snow. (Lth, T.) ظُلْمٌ [as a simple subst. generally means Wrong, wrongdoing, injustice, injuriousness, or tyranny]: see 1, first sentence, in two places. b2: [ظُلْمُ الارضِ in the CK is a mistranscription for ظَلَمَ الأَرْضَ. b3: And الظُلْمُ in one place in the CK, as syn. with الظَّلْمَآءُ, is a mistake for الظُّلْمَةُ.]

لَقِيتُهُ أَدْنَى ظَلَمٍ, (S, M, K,) or أَدْنَى ذِى ظَلَمٍ, (K, TA, [in the CK اَوَّلَ ذِى ظَلَمٍ,]) means (tropical:) I met him the first of everything: (S, K, TA:) or the first thing: (M:) or when the darkness was becoming confused: (M, K:) or أَدْنَى ظَلَمٍ meansnear; (El-Umawee, S, M, K;) or nearness: (M, K:) and one says, هُوَ مِنْكَ أَدْنَى ذِى ظَلَمٍ

[app. He is near thee], and رَأَيْتُهُ أَدْنَى ذِى ظَلَمٍ

[app. I saw him near]: (M:) and ظَلَمٌ is also syn. with شَخْصٌ [as meaning an object seen from a distance, or a person]; (K;) or, as some say, it has this meaning in the phrase أَدْنَى ظَلَمٍ [so that لَقِيتُهُ أَدْنَى ظَلَمٍ may mean I met him the nearest object seen from a distance, or the nearest person]: (M:) and accord. to Kh, one says, ↓ لَقِيتُهُ أَدْنَى ظُلْمَةٍ, or أَوَّلَ ذِى ظُلْمَةٍ, (as in different copies of the S,) meaning I met him the first thing that obstructed my sight. (S.) b2: ظَلَمٌ signifies also A mountain: and the pl. is ظُلُومٌ. (M, K.) ظُلَمٌ an appellation of Three nights (T, S, K) of the lunar month (T, S) next after the three called دُرَعٌ; (T, S, * K; *) so says A'Obeyd: (T:) thus called because of their darkness: (S:) the sing. is ↓ ظَلْمَآءُ; (T, S;) so that it is anomalous; for by rule it should be ظُلْمٌ; (S;) and the sing. of دُرَعٌ is دَرْعَآءُ: so says A'Obeyd: but accord. to AHeyth and Mbr, the sings. are ↓ ظُلْمَةٌ and دُرْعَةٌ, agreeably with rule; and this is the correct assertion. (T. [See more in art. درع, voce أَدْرَعُ.]) ظِلَمٌ: see ظِلَّامٌ.

ظُلْمَةٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ ظُلُمَةٌ (S, M, K) [accord. to the CK ظُلْمٌ and ظُلُمٌ, both of which are wrong,] and ↓ ظَلْمَآءُ (S, M, Msb, K) Darkness; contr. of نُورٌ: (S, Msb:) or nonexistence of نُور [or light]: or an accidental state that precludes the coëxistence therewith of نُور: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or the departure of light; as also ↓ ظَلَامٌ; (M, K;) which last has no pl.; (T, TA;) or this last signifies the beginning, or first part, of night, (S, M, Msb,) even though it be one in which the moon shines; and is said by Sb to be used only adverbially; one says, أَتَيْتُهُ ظَلَامًا, meaning I came to him at night, and مَعَ الظَّلَامِ i. e. at the time of the night: (M, TA:) the pl. of ظُلْمَةٌ is ظُلَمٌ and ظُلُمَاتٌ and ظُلَمَاتٌ (T, S, Msb) and ظُلْمَاتٌ, (S, Msb,) or, accord. to IB, the first of these pls. is of ظُلْمَةٌ and the second is of ظُلُمَةٌ. (TA.) One says, ↓ هُوَ يَخْبِطُ الظَّلَامَ [or فِى الظَّلَامِ, expl. in art. خبط], and الظُّلْمَةَ [which means the same] and ↓ الظَّلْمَآءَ [which is also expl. in art. خبط]. (TA.) b2: ظُلْمَةٌ is also [tropically] used as a term for (assumed tropical:) Ignorance: and (assumed tropical:) belief in a plurality of gods: and (assumed tropical:) transgression, or unrighteousness: like as نُورٌ is used as a term for their contraries: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and it is said in the A that الظُّلْمُ is ظُلْمَةٌ, like as العَدْلُ is نُورٌ. (TA.) ظُلُمَاتُ البَحْرِ means (assumed tropical:) The troubles, afflictions, calamities, or hardships, of the sea. (M.) A2: And one says لَيْلَةٌ ظُلْمَةٌ, [using the latter word as an epithet, (in the CK, erroneously, ظَلِمَةٌ,)] and ↓ لَيْلَةٌ ظَلْمَآءُ, both meaning A night intensely dark; (M, K;) or the latter means مُظْلِمَةٌ [i. e. dark, or black]: (S:) and ↓ لَيْلٌ ظَلْمَآءُ also, (M, K,) which is anomalous, (K,) mentioned by IAar, but [ISd says] this is strange, and in my opinion he has put لَيْلٌ in the place of لَيْلَةٌ, as in his mentioning لَيْلٌ قَمْرَآءُ [q. v.]. (M.) b2: See also ظُلَمٌ: b3: and see the paragraph next preceding it.

ظِلْمَةٌ sing. of ظِلَمٌ: see ظِلَّامٌ.

ظُلُمَةٌ: see ظُلْمَةٌ.

ظَلْمَآءُ: see ظُلْمَةٌ, in four places: and see also ظُلَمٌ.

ظَلَامٌ: see ظُلْمَةٌ, in two places.

ظُلَامٌ: see 1, in the first quarter of the paragraph.

ظِلَامٌ: see 1, near the beginning: A2: see also ظِلَّامٌ.

A3: It signifies also Little, or small, in quantity: or mean, contemptible, paltry, or of no weight or worth: b2: whence the saying, نَظَرَ إِلَىَّ ظِلَامًا, meaning شَزْرًا [i. e. He looked at me from the outer angle of the eye, with anger, or aversion]. (K.) ظَلُومٌ: see ظَلَّامٌ. b2: [Hence,] one says اِمْرَأَةٌ ظَلُومٌ لِلسِّقَآءِ (assumed tropical:) [A woman wont to give to drink the milk of the skin before its attaining to maturity and the extracting of its butter: see ظَلَمَ الوَطْبَ, and what follows it, in the first paragraph]. (M.) ظَلِيمٌ [as syn. with مَظْلُومٌ in the primary sense of the latter I have not found: but as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates it signifies] (tropical:) Milk that is drunk before its becoming thick and its butter's coming forth or being extracted; (S, * M;) as also ↓ ظَلِيمَةٌ, (T, S, M,) and ↓ مَظْلُومٌ. (T, S.) b2: And (assumed tropical:) A place that is ↓ مَظْلُوم [i. e. dug where it should not be dug]: (M, TA:) used in this sense by a poet describing a person slain in a desert, for whom a grave was dug in a place not proper for digging [it]. (M.) b3: And (tropical:) The earth of land that is ↓ مَظْلُومَة (S, K, TA) i. e. dug, (TA,) or dug for the first time. (S.) And (assumed tropical:) The earth of the لَحْد [or lateral hollow] of a grave; which is put back, over it, after the burial of the dead therein. (T, TA.) A2: Also The male ostrich: (T, S, M, K:) said (by IDrd, TA) to be so called because he makes a place for the laying and hatching of the eggs (يُدَحِّى, inf. n. تَدْحِيَةٌ,) where the doing so is not proper: (M, TA:) or, accord. to Er-Rághib and others, because he is believed to be deaf: (TA:) pl. ظِلْمَانٌ (T, M, K) and ظُلْمَانٌ (M, K) and أَظْلِمَةٌ, (T, M,) which last is a pl. of pauc. (T.) b2: And الظَّلِيمَانِ is an appellation of Two stars; (M, K, * TA;) the two stars of القَوْس [or Sagittarius] that are on the northern curved end of the bow [i. e.

λ and μ, above the nine stars called النَّعَائِم, or “ the ostriches ”]. (Kzw in his descr. of Sagittarius.) And الظَّلِيمُ is the name of The bright star α] at the end of النَّهْر [i. e. Eridanus]: and A star upon the mouth of الحُوت [i. e. Piscis Australis] (Kzw in his descr. of Eridanus.) [It seems to be implied in the K that الظَّلِيمُ is the name of two stars; or it may be there meant that each of two stars is thus called. Freytag represents the sing. as “ a name of stars,” and the dual also as “ a name of stars; ” referring, in relation to the former, to Ideler's “ Untersuch,” pp. 201, 228, and 233; and in relation to the latter, to the same work, pp. 106 and 184.]

النِّيلُ:
بكسر أوله، بلفظ النيل الذي تصبغ به الثياب، في مواضع: أحدها بليدة في سواد الكوفة قرب حلّة بني مزيد يخترقها خليج كبير يتخلج من الفرات الكبير حفره الحجاج بن يوسف وسماه بنيل مصر، وقيل:
إنّ النيل هذا يستمد من صراة جاماسب، ينسب إليه خالد بن دينار النيلي أبو الوليد الشيباني، كان يسكن النيل، حدث عن الحسن العكلي وسالم بن عبد الله ومعاوية بن قرّة، روى عنه الثوري وغيره، وقال محمد بن خليفة السّنبسي شاعر بني مزيد يمدح دبيسا بقصيدة مطلعها:
قالوا هجرت بلاد النيل وانقطعت ... حبال وصلك عنها بعد إعلاق
فقلت: إني وقد أقوت منازلها ... بعد ابن مزيد من وفد وطرّاق
فمن يكن تائقا يهوى زيارتها ... على البعاد فإني غير مشتاق
وكيف أشتاق أرضا لا صديق بها ... إلا رسوم عظام تحت أطباق؟
وإياه عنى أيضا مرجا بن نباه بقوله:
قصدتكم أرجو نوال أكفّكم، ... فعدت وكفّي من نوالكم صفر
فلما أتيت النيل أيقنت بالغنى ... ونيل المنى منكم فلاحقني الفقر
والنيل أيضا: نهر من أنهار الرّقة حفره الرشيد على ضفّة نيل الرّقة، والبليخ: نهر دير زكّى، ولذلك قال الصّنوبري:
كأنّ عناق نهري دير زكّى، ... إذا اعتنقا، عناق متيّمين
وقت ذاك البليخ يد الليالي ... وذاك النيل من متجاورين
وأما نيل مصر فقال حمزة: هو تعريب نيلوس من الرومية، قال القضاعي: ومن عجائب مصر النيل جعله الله لها سقيا يزرع عليه ويستغنى به عن مياه المطر في أيام القيظ إذا نضبت المياه من سائر الأنهار فيبعث الله في أيام المدّ الريح الشمال فيغلب عليه البحر الملح فيصير كالسّكر له حتى يربو ويعم الرّبى والعوالي ويجري في الخلج والمساقي فإذا بلغ الحدّ الذي هو تمام الريّ وحضر زمان الحرث والزراعة بعث الله الريح الجنوب فكبسته وأخرجته إلى البحر الملح وانتفع الناس بالزراعة مما يروى من الأرض، وأجمع أهل العلم أنه ليس في الدنيا نهر أطول من النيل لأن مسيرته شهر في الإسلام وشهران في بلاد النوبة وأربعة أشهر في الخراب حيث لا عمارة فيها إلى أن يخرج في بلاد القمر خلف خطّ الاستواء، وليس في الدنيا نهر يصبّ من الجنوب إلى الشمال إلا هو، ويمتد في أشدّ ما يكون من الحرّ حين تنقص أنهار الدنيا، ويزيد بترتيب وينقص بترتيب بخلاف سائر الأنهار، فإذا زادت الأنهار في سائر الدنيا نقص وإذا نقصت زاد نهاية وزيادة، وزيادته في أيام نقص غيره، وليس في الدنيا نهر يزرع عليه ما يزرع على النيل ولا يجيء من خراج نهر ما يجيء من خراج ما يسقيه النيل، وقد روي عن عمرو بن العاص أنه قال: إن نيل مصر سيد الأنهار سخر الله له كلّ نهر بين المشرق والمغرب أن يمدّ له وذلّله له فإذا أراد الله تعالى أن يجري نيل مصر أمر الله تعالى كلّ نهر أن يمدّه بمائه وفجّر الله تعالى له الأرض عيونا وانتهى جريه إلى ما أراد
الله تعالى، فإذا بلغ النيل نهايته أمر الله تعالى كلّ ماء أن يرجع إلى عنصره ولذلك جميع مياه الأرض تقلّ أيام زيادته، وذكر عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن عبد الحكم قال: لما فتح المسلمون مصر جاء أهلها إلى عمرو بن العاص حين دخل بؤونه من شهور القبط فقالوا: أيها الأمير إن لبلدنا هذا سنّة لا يجري النيل إلا بها وذلك أنه إذا كان لاثنتي عشرة ليلة تخلو من هذا الشهر عمدنا إلى جارية بكر بين أبويها فأرضينا أبويها وجعلنا عليها من الحلي والثياب أفضل ما يكون ثم ألقيناها في هذا النيل، فقال لهم عمرو: إن هذا لا يكون في الإسلام وإن الإسلام يهدم ما قبله، فأقاموا بؤونه وأبيب ومسرى لا يجري النيل قليلا ولا كثيرا حتى هموا بالجلاء، فلما رأى عمرو ذلك كتب إلى عمر بن الخطاب بذلك فكتب إليه عمر:
قد أصبت، إن الإسلام يهدم ما قبله، وقد بعثت إليك ببطاقة فألقها في داخل النيل إذا أتاك كتابي هذا، وإذا في كتابه: بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم، من عبد الله عمر بن الخطاب أمير المؤمنين إلى نيل مصر، أما بعد فإن كنت تجري من قبلك فلا تجر، وإن كان الواحد القّهار يجريك فنسأل الله الواحد القهار أن يجريك، قال: فألقى عمرو بن العاص البطاقة في النيل وذلك قبل عيد الصليب بيوم وكان أهل مصر قد تأهبوا للخروج منها والجلاء لأنهم لا تقوم مصلحتهم إلا بالنيل، فأصبحوا يوم الصليب وقد جرى النيل بقدرة الله تعالى وزاد ستة عشر ذراعا في ليلة واحدة وانقطعت تلك السنّة السيئة عن أهل مصر، وكان للنيل سبعة خلجان: خليج الإسكندرية، وخليج دمياط، وخليج منف، وخليج المنهي، وخليج الفيوم، وخليج عرشي، وخليج سردوس، وهي متصلة الجريان لا ينقطع منها شيء، والزروع بين هذه الخلجان متّصلة من أول مصر إلى آخرها، وزروع مصر كلها تروى من ستة عشر ذراعا بما قدّروا ودبروا من قناطرها وجسورها وخلجها، فإذا استوى الماء كما ذكرناه في المقياس من هذا الكتاب أطلق حتى يملأ أرض مصر فتبقى تلك الأراضي كالبحر الذي لم يفارقه الماء قط والقرى بينه يمشى إليها على سكور مهيأة والسفن تخترق ذلك، فإذا استوفت المياه ورويت الأرضون أخذ ينقص في أول الخريف وقد برد الهواء وانكسر الحرّ فكلما نقص الماء عن أرض زرعت أصناف الزروع واكتفت بتلك الشربة لأنه كلما تأخّر الوقت برد الجوّ فلا تنشف الأرض إلى أن يستكمل الزرع فإذا استكمل عاد الوقت يأخذ في الحرّ والصيف حتى ينضج الزروع وينشفها ويكمّلها، فلا يأتي الصيف إلا وقد استقام أمرها فأخذوا في حصادها، وفي ذلك عبرة وآية ودليل على قدرة العزيز الحكيم الذي خلق الأشياء في أحسن تقويم، وقد قال عزّ من قائل:
ما ترى في خلق الرحمن من تفاوت، وفي النيل عجائب كثيرة وله خصائص لا توجد في غيره من الأنهار، وأما أصل مجراه فيذكر أنه يأتي من بلاد الزنج فيمر بأرض الحبشة مسامتا لبحر اليمن من جهة أرض الحبشة حتى ينتهي إلى بلاد النوبة من جانبها الغربي والبجه من جانبها الشرقي فلا يزال جاريا بين جبلين بينهما قرى وبلدان والراكب فيه يرى الجبلين عن يمينه وشماله وهو بينهما بإزاء الصعيد حتى يصب في البحر، وأما سبب زيادته في الصيف فإن المطر يكثر بأرض الزنجبار وتلك البلاد في هذه الأوقات بحيث ينزل الغيث عندهم كأفواه القرب وتنصبّ المدود إلى هذا النهر من سائر الجهات فإلى أن يصل إلى مصر ويقطع تلك المفاوز يكون القيظ ووجه
الحاجة إليه كما دبره الخالق عز وجل، وقد ذكر الليث بن سعد وغيره قصة رجل من ولد العيص بن إسحاق النبي، عليه السّلام، وتطلّبه مجراه أذكرها بعد إن شاء الله تعالى، قال أميّة: نيل مصر ينبوعه من وراء خط الاستواء من جبل هناك يقال له جبل القمر فإنه يبتدئ في التزيّد في شهر أبيب وهو في الرومية يوليه، والمصريون يقولون: إذا دخل أبيب شرع الماء في الدبيب، وعند ابتدائه في التزيّد تتغير جميع كيفياته ويفسد، والسبب في ذلك مروره بنقائع مياه أجنة يخالطها فيحيلها ويستخرجها معه ويستصحبها إلى غير ذلك مما يحيله، فلا يزال على هذه الحال كما وصفه الأمير تميم بن المعزّ بن إسماعيل فقال:
أما ترى الرعد بكى واشتك ... والبرق قد أومض واستضحكا؟
فاشرب على غيم كصبغ الدُّجى ... أضحك وجه الأرض لما بكى
وانظر لماء النيل في مدّه ... كأنه صندل أو مسّكا
أو كما قال أمية بن أبي الصلت المغربي:
ولله مجرى النيل منها إذا الصّبا ... أرتنا به في مرّها عسكرا مجرا
بشطّ يهزّ السّمهريّة ذبّلا، ... وموج يهزّ البيض هنديّة بترا
ولتميم بن المعز أيضا:
يوم لنا بالنيل مختصر، ... ولكل وقت مسرة قصر
والسّفن تصعد كالخيول بنا ... فيه وجيش الماء منحدر
فكأنما أمواجه عكن، ... وكأنما داراته سرر
وقال الحافظ أبو الحسين محمد بن الوزير في تدرج زيادة النيل إصبعا إصبعا وعظم منفعة ذلك التدرج:
أرى أبدا كثيرا من قليل، ... وبدرا في الحقيقة من هلال
فلا تعجب فكلّ خليج ماء ... بمصر مسبّب لخليج مال
زيادة إصبع في كل يوم ... زيادة أذرع في حسن حال
فإذا بلغ الماء خمسة عشر ذراعا وزاد من السادس عشر إصبعا واحدا كسر الخليج ولكسره يوم معهود فيجتمع الخاصّ والعامّ بحضرة القاضي وإذا كسر فتحت التّرع وهي فوهات الخلجان ففاض الماء وساح وعمّ الغيطان والبطاح وانضمّ أهل القرى إلى أعلى مساكنهم من الضياع والمنازل بحيث لا ينتهي إليهم الماء فتعود عند ذلك أرض مصر بأسرها بحرا عامّا غامر الماء بين جبليها المكتنفين لها وتثبت على هذه الحال حسبما تبلغ الحدّ المحدود في مشيئة الله، وأكثر ذلك يحول حول ثمانية عشر ذراعا ثم يأخذ عائدا في صبّه إلى مجرى النيل ومشربه فينقص عما كان مشرفا عاليا من الأراضي ويستقر في المنخفض منها فيترك كل قرارة كالدرهم ويعمّ الرّبى بالزهر المؤنق والروض المشرق، وفي هذا الوقت تكون أرض مصر أحسن شيء منظرا وأبهاها مخبرا، وقد جوّد أبو الحسن عليّ بن أبي بشر الكاتب فقال:
شربنا مع غروب الشمس شَمْساً ... مشعشعة إلى وقت الطلوع
وضوء الشمس فوق النيل باد ... كأطراف الأسنّة في الدروع
ومن عجائب النيل السمكة الرعّادة وهي سمكة لطيفة مسيّرة من مسّها بيده أو بعود يتصل بيده إليها أو بشبكة هي فيها اعترته رعدة وانتفاض ما دامت في يده أو في شبكته، وهذا أمر مستفيض رأيت جماعة من أهل التحصيل يذكرونه، ويقال إن بمصر بقلة من مسّها ومسّ الرعّادة لم ترتعد يده، والله أعلم، ومن عجائبه التمساح ولا يوجد في بلد من البلدان إلا في النيل، ويقال إنه أيضا بنهر السند إلا أنه ليس في عظم المصري فإذا عضّ اشتبكت أسنانه واختلفت فلم يتخلص الذي وقع فيها حتى يقطعه، وحنك التمساح الأعلى يتحرّك والأسفل لا يتحرك، وليس ذلك في غيره من الدواب، ولا يعمل الحديد في جلده، وليس له فقار بل عظم ظهره من رأسه إلى ذنبه عظم واحد ولا يقدر أن يلتوي أو ينقبض لأنه ليس في ظهره خرز، وهو إذا انقلب لم يستطع أن يتحرك، وإذا أراد الذكر أن يسفد أنثاه أخرجها من النيل وألقاها على ظهرها كما يأتي الرجل المرأة فإذا قضى منها وطره قلبها فإن تركها على ظهرها صيدت لأنها لا تقدر أن تنقلب، وذنب التمساح حادّ طويل وهو يضرب به فربما قتل من تناله ضربته، وربما جرّ بذنبه الثور من الشريعة حتى يلجج به في البحر فيأكله، ويبيض مثل بيض الإوزّ فإذا فقص عن فراخه كان الواحد كالحرذون في جسمه وخلقته ثم يعظم حتى يصير عشرة أذرع وأكثر وهو يبيض وكلما عاش يزيد، وتبيض الأنثى ستين بيضة، وله في فيه ستون سنّا، ويقال إنه إذا أخذ أول سن من جانب حنكه الأيسر ثم علّق على من به حمّى نافض تركته من ساعته، وربما دخل لحم ما يأكله بين أسنانه فيتأذّى به فيخرج من الماء إلى البرّ ويفتح فاه فيجيئه طائر مثل الطّيطوى فيسقط على حنكه فيلتقط بمنقاره ذلك اللحم بأسره فيكون ذلك اللحم طعاما لذلك الطائر وراحة بأكله إياه للتمساح، ولا يزال هذا الطائر حارسا له ما دام ينقي أسنانه، فإذا رأى إنسانا أو صيادا يريده رفرف عليه وزعق ليؤذنه بذلك ويحذره حتى يلقي نفسه في الماء إلى أن يستوفي جميع ما في أسنانه، فإذا أحسّ التمساح بأنه لم يبق في أسنانه شيء يؤذيه أطبق فمه على ذلك الطائر ليأكله فلذلك خلق الله في رأس ذلك الطائر عظما أحدّ من الإبرة فيقيمه في وسط رأسه فيضرب حنك التمساح، ويحكى عنه ما هو أعجب من ذلك، وهو أن ابن عرس من أشد أعدائه، فيقال إن ابن عرس إذا رأى التمساح نائما على شاطئ النيل ألقى نفسه في الماء حتى يبتل ثم يتمرغ في التراب ثم يقيم شعره ويثب حتى يدخل في جوف التمساح فيأكل ما في جوفه وليس للتمساح يد تدفع عنه ذلك، فإذا أراد الخروج بقر بطنه وخرج، وعجائب الدنيا كثيرة وإنما نذكر منها ما نجرّبه عادة ولهذا أمثال ليس كتابنا بصدد شرحها، وقال الشاعر:
أضمرت للنيل هجرانا ومقلية ... مذ قيل لي إنما التمساح في النيل
فمن رأى النيل رأي العين من كشب ... فما رأى النيل إلا في البواقيل
والبواقيل: كيزان يشرب منها أهل مصر، وقال عمرو بن معدي كرب:
فالنيل أصبح زاخرا بمدوده، ... وجرت له ريح الصّبا فجرى لها
عوّدت كندة عادة فاصبر لها، ... اغفر لجانبها وردّ سجالها
وحدّث الليث بن سعد قال: زعموا، والله أعلم،
أن رجلا من ولد العيص يقال له حائذ بن شالوم بن العيص بن إسحاق بن إبراهيم، عليهما السلام، خرج هاربا من ملك من ملوكهم إلى أرض مصر فأقام بها سنين، فلما رأى عجائب نيلها وما يأتي به جعل الله نذرا أن لا يفارق ساحله حتى يرى منتهاه أو ينظر من أين مخرجه أو يموت قبل ذلك، فسار عليه ثلاثين سنة في العمران ومثلها في غير العمران، وبعضهم يقول خمس عشرة كذا وخمس عشرة كذا، حتى انتهى إلى بحر أخضر فنظر إلى النيل يشقه مقبلا فوقف ينظر إلى ذلك فإذا هو برجل قائم يصلّي تحت شجرة تفّاح، فلما رآه استأنس به فسلم عليه فسأله صاحب الشجرة عن اسمه وخبره وما يطلب، فقال له: أنا حائذ بن شالوم بن العيص بن إسحاق بن إبراهيم، فمن أنت؟ قال: أنا عمران بن العيص بن إسحاق بن إبراهيم، فما الذي جاء بك إلى ههنا يا حائذ؟ قال:
أردت علم أمر النيل، فما الذي جاء بك أنت؟ قال:
جاء بي الذي جاء بك، فلما انتهيت إلى هذا الموضع أوحى الله تعالى إليّ أن قف بمكانك حتى يأتيك أمري، قال: فأخبرني يا عمران أي شيء انتهى إليك من أمر هذا النيل وهل بلغك أن أحدا من بني آدم يبلغه؟ قال: نعم بلغني أن رجلا من بني العيص يبلغه ولا أظنه غيرك يا حائذ، فقال له: يا عمران كيف الطريق إليه؟ قال له عمران: لست أخبرك بشيء حتى تجعل بيننا ما أسألك، قال: وما ذاك؟ قال: إذا رجعت وأنا حيّ أقمت عندي حتى يأتي ما أوحى الله لي أن يتوفاني فتدفني وتمضي، قال: لك ذلك عليّ، قال: سر كما أنت سائر فإنه ستأتي دابة ترى أولها ولا ترى آخرها فلا يهولنّك أمرها فإنها دابة معادية للشمس إذا طلعت أهوت إليها لتلتقمها فاركبها فإنها تذهب بك إلى ذلك الجانب من البحر فسر عليه فإنك ستبلغ أرضا من حديد جبالها وشجرها وجميع ما فيها حديد، فإذا جزتها وقعت في أرض من فضة جبالها وشجرها وجميع ما فيها فضة، فإذا تجاوزتها وقعت في أرض من ذهب جميع ما فيها ذهب ففيها ينتهي إليك علم النيل، قال: فودعه ومضى وجرى الأمر على ما ذكر له حتى انتهى إلى أرض الذهب فسار فيها حتى انتهى إلى سور من ذهب وعليه قبّة لها أربعة أبواب وإذا ماء كالفضة ينحدر من فوق ذلك السور حتى يستقرّ في القبة ثم يتفرق في الأبواب وينصبّ إلى الأرض، فأما ثلثاه فيغيض وأما واحد فيجري على وجه الأرض وهو النيل، فشرب منه واستراح ثم حاول أن يصعد السور فأتاه ملك وقال: يا حائذ قف مكانك فقد انتهى إليك علم ما أردته من علم النيل وهذا الماء الذي تراه ينزل من الجنة وهذه القبة بابها، فقال:
أريد أن أنظر إلى ما في الجنة، فقال: إنك لن تستطيع دخولها اليوم يا حائذ، قال: فأي شيء هذا الذي أرى؟ قال: هذا الفلك الذي تدور فيه الشمس والقمر وهو شبه الرحا، قال: أريد أن أركبه فأدور فيه، فقال له الملك: إنك لن تستطيع اليوم ذلك، ثم قال: إنه سيأتيك رزق من الجنة فلا تؤثر عليه شيئا من الدنيا فإنه لا ينبغي لشيء من الجنة أن يؤثر عليه شيء من الدنيا، فبينما هو واقف إذ أنزل عليه عنقود من عنب فيه ثلاثة أصناف: صنف كالزبرجد الأخضر وصنف كالياقوت الأحمر وصنف كاللؤلؤ الأبيض، ثم قال: يا حائذ هذا من حصرم الجنة ليس من يانع عنبها فارجع فقد انتهى إليك علم النيل، فرجع حتى انتهى إلى الدابة فركبها فلما أهوت الشمس إلى الغروب أهوت إليها لتلتقمها فقذفت به إلى جانب البحر الآخر فأقبل حتى انتهى إلى عمران فوجده قد مات في يومه ذلك فدفنه وأقام
على قبره، فلما كان في اليوم الثالث أقبل شيخ كبير كأنه بعض العبّاد فبكى على عمران طويلا وصلى على قبره وترحم عليه ثم قال: يا حائذ ما الذي انتهى إليك من علم النيل؟ فأخبره، فقال: هكذا نجده في الكتاب، ثم التفت إلى شجرة تفاح هناك فأقبل يحدّثه ويطري تفاحها في عينيه، فقال له: يا حائذ ألا تأكل؟ قال: معي رزقي من الجنة ونهيت أن أوثر عليه شيئا من الدنيا، فقال الشيخ: هل رأيت في الدنيا شيئا مثل هذا التفاح؟ إنما هذه شجرة أنزلها الله لعمران من الجنة ليأكل منها وما تركها إلا لك ولو أكلت منها وانصرفت لرفعت، فلم يزل يحسّنها في عينه ويصفها له حتى أخذ منها تفاحة فعضها ليأكل منها فلما عضها عضّ يده ونودي: هل تعرف الشيخ؟
قال: لا! قيل: هذا الذي أخرج أباك آدم من الجنة، أما إنك لو سلمت بهذا الذي معك لأكل منه أهل الدنيا فلم ينفد، فلما وقف حائذ على ذلك وعلم أنه إبليس أقبل حتى دخل مصر فأخبرهم بخبر النيل ومات بعد ذلك بمصر، قال عبيد الله الفقير إليه مؤلف الكتاب: هذا خبر شبيه بالخرافة وهو مستفيض ووجوده في كتب الناس كثير، والله أعلم بصحته، وإنما كتبت ما وجدت.
