شهو

1 شَهِيَهُ and شَهَاهُ: see 8.

A2: شَهَا, aor. ـُ and شَهِىَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. شَهْوَةٌ; It [food &c.] was good, sweet, pleasant, or the like. (MA. [But this, the only meaning there assigned to these two verbs, I do not find elsewhere.]) 2 شَهَّيْتُهُ [I made him, or caused him, to desire, to long, or to desire eagerly]. (Msb.) b2: [and شهّى It excited desire, longing, eager desire, or appetence. For ex., in art. سمق in the K, يُشَهِّى is said of the سُمَّاق, or berry of the sumach, meaning It excites appetence.] b3: And شهّى الشَّىْءَ He, or it, caused the thing to be desired, longed for, or desired eagerly: made it to be good, sweet, pleasant, or the like. (MA.) One says, هٰذَا شَىْءٌ يُشَهِّى الطَّعَامَ i. e. [This is a thing that causes the food to be desired, &c.; that makes it sweet, &c.; or] that incites to desire, or eager desire, of the food. (S, TA.) b4: [And accord. to an explanation of the inf. n., تَشْهِيَةٌ, in the KL, شهّاهُ seems to signify also He said to him, I will give to thee what thou desirest, longest for, or eagerly desirest; agreeably with a rendering of the verb alone, as on the authority of that work, by Golius.]3 شاهاهُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. مُشَاهَاةٌ, (TA,) He was, or became, like him; he resembled him. (K, TA.) A2: Also He jested, or joked, with him: (IAar, TA:) [and] so هَاشَاهُ. (K in art. هشو.) b2: And accord. to IAar, it is also used in relation to the smiting action of the [evil] eye [perhaps meaning He vied with him in smiting with the evil eye: see also 4]. (TA.) 4 اشهاهُ He gave him what he desired or eagerly desired. (K.) b2: And He smote him with an [evil] eye: (K:) in this sense [said to be] formed by transposition from أَشَاهَهُ. (TA.) A2: مَا أَشْهَاهَا إِلَىَّ means that she is desired, or eagerly desired, [i. e. How great an object of desire is she to me!] as though it were from شُهِىَ, though this was not said: and مَا أَشْهَانِى لَهَا means that thou art desiring, or eagerly desiring, [i. e. How desirous, or eagerly desirous, am I of her!] so says Sb. (TA.) 5 تشهّى He demanded with repeated desire. (K, TA.) So in the saying, (TA,) تشهّى عَلَى

فُلَانٍ كَذَا (S, TA) [He demanded with repeated desire, of such a one, such a thing]. b2: See also what next follows.8 اشتهاهُ (S, &c.) He desired it, or longed for it: (Msb:) he loved it; and desired it, or wished for it: (K:) or he desired it eagerly, or intensely: (M in art. فرس: [see an ex. in a poetical citation voce فَرَّسَ:]) and ↓ شَهِيَهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K;) as also ↓ شَهَاهُ, aor. ـُ (Az, Msb, K;) inf. n. شَهْوَةٌ (S, TA) and شَاهِيَةٌ, which last is an inf. n. [of a rare class] like عَاقِبَةٌ; (TA;) signifies the same: (S, Msb, K:) and so does ↓ تشهّاهُ. (K.) [See what next follows.]

شَهْوَةٌ [mentioned above as an inf. n.] is a word of well-known meaning; (S;) Desire, or longing, or yearning, of the soul for a thing; (Er-Rághib, Msb, TA;) [meaning for a thing gratifying to sense: or eager, or intense, desire; particularly for such a thing; for] it has a more intensive signification than إِرَادَةٌ; and the intelligent agree in opinion that it is not commendable: (M in art. فرس:) [being either lawful or unlawful, it may be rendered as above: or appetite: or appetence: or lust: or carnal lust:] in the present state of existence, it is of two sorts, صَادِقَةٌ [i. e. true], and كَاذِبَةٌ [i. e. false]; the former being that without which the body becomes in an unsound state, as the شَهْوَة [or desire &c.] for food on the occasion of hunger; and the latter being that without which the body does not become in an unsound state: and sometimes it is applied to the object of desire &c., or thing desired &c.: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and agreeably with this last explanation the first of the following pls. is used in the Kur iii.

12: (Ksh, Bd, Jel:) sometimes also it is applied to the faculty to which a thing is made an object of desire &c.: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [also, to the gratification of venereal lust; thus in the K in art. شفر; see شَفِرَتْ and شَفِرَةٌ:] the pl. is شَهَوَاتٌ (Msb, TA) and أَشْهِيَةٌ and شُهًى; the last mentioned by AHei, and a rare instance of a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ from a sing. of the measure فَعْلَةٌ having an infirm letter for its last radical, like جُهًى pl. of جَهْوَةٌ [and like قُرًى pl. of قَرْيَةٌ]. (TA.) [الشَّهْوَتَانِ means The two appetites, that of the stomach and that of the generative organ.]

الشَّهْوَةُ الخَفِيَّةُ [The latent desire &c.] mentioned in a trad. is said to be any act of disobedience which one conceives in his mind, and upon which he resolves: or one's seeing a beautiful young woman, and lowering his eyes, then looking with his heart, and imaging her to his mind, and so tempting himself. (JM.) [شَهْوَةُ الطِّينِ, lit. The longing for clay, is app. used as a general term for malacia: see حُمَّاضٌ.]

شَهْوَانُ (S, Msb, K, TA) and ↓ شَهْوَانِىٌّ and ↓ شَهِىٌّ, (K, TA,) applied to a man, Desirous, or longing; (S, * Msb, * K, * TA;) or very desirous or longing; greedy; or voracious: (TA:) fem. (of the first, Msb) شَهْوَى: (Msb, K, TA:) pl. [of the first] شَهَاوَى, (K, TA,) like سَكَارَى [pl. of سَكْرَانُ]. (TA.) [See an ex. of the pl. in a verse cited voce جَرْدَبَانٌ.] One says, رَجُلٌ شَهْوَانُ لِلشَّىْءِ [A man desirous &c. of the thing]. (S.) شَهْوَانِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

شَهِىٌّ i. q. ↓ مُشْتَهًى (S, Msb) [i. e. Desired, longed for, or eagerly desired:] or pleasant, delicious, or sweet: (Msb, TA:) applied to food, (S,) and to water. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] أَبُو الشَّهِىِّ (assumed tropical:) The بَرْبَط [or Persian lute]. (KL.) b3: [and Golius adds, as on the authority of a gloss in a copy of the KL, (assumed tropical:) The water-melon (anguria).]

A2: See also شَهْوَانُ.

شَهَّآءٌ A man having much, or frequent, desire or longing or eager desire. (TA.) [See also شَهْوَانُ.]

شَاهٍ [act. part. n. of 1; Desiring, or longing; &c.]. (Sb, TA.) A2: شَاهِى البَصَرِ A man sharp of sight: (S, K:) formed by transposition from شَائِهُ البَصَرِ. (S.) أَشْهَى [More, and most, desirable, or pleasant or delicious or sweet]. One says, هُوَ أَشْهَى إِلَىَّ مِنْ كَذَا [It is more desirable, or pleasant &c., to me, or in my estimation, than such a thing]. (Msb voce إِلَى.) See also another ex. in a verse cited voce إِلَى, in art. الو.

(K, * TA.) b4: [Golius assigns other significations to دَاعَى, for which I find no authority: namely, “Convocavit ad Deum propheta, præco sacer,” followed by an accus.: and “ Contendit contra alium: Provocavit: pecul. rem vindicans sibi vel arrogans. ”]4 أَدْعَاهُ [so in some copies of the K; in other copies ↓ اِدَّعَاهُ; the former of which I regard as the right reading;] He made him to assert his relationship as a son [for يُدْعَى, in my copies of the K, I read ↓ يَدَّعِى, syn. with يَعْتَزِى,] to one who was not his father. (K.) [SM, who appears to have read ↓ اِدَّعَاهُ, says that it is like اِسْتَلْحَقَهُ and اِسْتَلَاطَهُ.]5 التَّدَعِّى [inf. n. of تَدَعَّتْ] signifies The تَطْرِيب [or singing, or quavering or trilling and prolonging of the voice, or prolonging and modulating of the voice,] of a woman wailing for the dead. (TA. [See دَعَا المَيِّتَ, above.]) 6 التَّدَاعِى signifies The calling, summoning, or convoking, one another. (Mgh.) You say, تَدَاعَوْ لِلْحَرْبِ [They called, summoned, or convoked, one another for war: and hence,] (assumed tropical:) they prepared themselves for war. (TA.) And تَدَاعَوْا عَلَيْهِ, (Msb, K,) or عَلَى بَنِى فُلَانٍ, (T, M,) They collected themselves together, (K,) or called one another so that they assembled together, (M,) or leagued together, and called one another to mutual aid, (T, Msb, *) against him, (Msb, K,) or against the sons of such a one. (T, M.) and تَدَاعَى عَلَيْهِ العَدُوُّ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ (assumed tropical:) The enemy advanced against him from every side.

(Mgh.) And تداعى said of a sand-hill, (assumed tropical:) It, being put in notion, or shaken in its lower part, poured down. (Msb.) And [hence,] تَدَاعَتْ إِبِلُ بَنِى فُلَانٍ (tropical:) (tropical:) The camels of such a one became broken by emaciation. (TA.) b3: تَدَاعَوْ بِالأَلْقَابِ They called one another by surnames, or nicknames. (Msb.) b4: التَّدَاعِى also signifies (assumed tropical:) The trying one another with an enigma or enigmas; or contending, one with another, in proposing an enigma or enigmas; syn. التَّحَاجِى. (TA in art. حجو.) You say, بَيْنَهُمْ أُدْعِيَّةٌ يَتَدَاعُوْنَ بِهَا (assumed tropical:) [Between them is an enigma with which they try one another; or by proposing which they contend, one with another]. (S, K. *) b5: يَتَدَاعَوْنَ فَصْلَ الخِطَابِ (assumed tropical:) They compete, one with another, [as though each one challenged the others,] in discoursing of the science of chasteness of speech, and eloquence. (Har p. 446.) b6: See also 8, in two places.

A2: [It is also used transitively:] you say, تَدَاعَوُا القَوْمَ They [together] called the people. (Mgh in art. نقض. [See 6 in that art.]) 7 اندعى i. q. أَجَابَ. (K.) Akh heard one or more of the Arabs say, لَوْدَعَوْنَا لَانْدَعَيْنَا, meaning لَأَجُبْنَا [i. e. Had they called us, &c., we had certainly answered, or replied, or assented, or consented]. (S.) 8 اِدَّعَى He asserted a thing to be his, or to belong to him, or to be due to him, either truly or falsely: (K, * TA:) he claimed a thing; laid claim to it; or demanded it for himself: and he desired a thing; or wished for it. (Msb.) and اِدَّعَوُا الشَّىْءَ and الشىء ↓ تَدَاعَوُا signify the same [i. e. They claimed the thing, every one of them for himself]. (Mgh.) You say, اِدَّعَيْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ كَذَا [I asserted myself to have a claim upon such a one for such a thing; preferred a claim against such a one for such a thing; or claimed of such a one such a thing]. (S.) And اِدَّعَى زَيْدٌ عَلَى عَمْرو مَالًا [Zeyd asserted himself to have a claim upon 'Amr for property; or preferred a claim against 'Amr &c.]. (Mgh.) And اِدَّعَيْتَ عَلَىَّ مَا لَمْ أَفْعَلْ [Thou hast asserted against me, or charged against me, or accused me of, that which I have not done]. (S and K in art. شرب, and S in art. اكل.) هٰذَا الَّذِى كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ, in the Kur [lxvii. 27], means This is that on account of which ye used to assert vain and false things: or which ye used to deny, or disbelieve: or, accord. to Fr, the latter verb may here be used in the sense of تَدْعُونَ; and the meaning may be, this is that which ye desired to hasten, and for which ye prayed to God in the words of the Kur [viii. 32], “O God, if this be the truth from Thee, then rain Thou upon us stones from Heaven, or bring upon us some [other] painful punishment: ” it may be from الدُّعَآءُ: and it may be from الدَّعْوَى: (TA:) [i. e.] it means this is that which ye used to demand, and desire to hasten; from الدُّعَآءُ: or that which ye used to assert, [namely,] that there will be no raising to life; from الدَّعْوَى. (Bd.) And وَلَهُمْ مَا يَدَّعُونَ, in the Kur [xxxvi. 57], is explained as meaning and they shall have what they desire, or wish for; which is referrible to the meaning of الدُّعَآءُ. (TA.) b2: You say also, اِدَّعَى غَيْرَ أَبِيهِ [He asserted the relationship of father to him of one who was not his father; or claimed as his father one who was not his father]. (T, Mgh, Msb.) And يَدَّعِى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ [He asserts his relationship as a son, or claims the relationship of a son, to one who is not his father]. (T, Msb. See 4, in three places.) And يَدَّعِيهِ غَيْرُ أَبِيهِ [One who is not his father asserts him to be his son; or claims him as his son]. (T, Msb.) الاِدِّعَآءُ in war signifies The asserting one's relationship; syn. الاِعْتِزَآءُ; (S, TA;) as also ↓ التَّدَاعِى; (TA;) i. e. the saying “ I am such a one the son of such a one. ” (S.) And [hence] sometimes it includes the meaning of Informing, or telling; and therefore بِ may be prefixed to its objective complement; so that one says, فُلَانٌ يَدَّعِى بِكَرَمِ فِعَالِهِ, i. e. Such a one informs of the generosity of his deeds. (Msb.) 10 إِسْتَدْعَوَ see 1, near the middle of the paragraph. b2: [Hence, استدعى signifies also It called for, demanded, required, or invited, a thing. See also دَعَابِهِ.]

دَعْوَةٌ [as an inf. n. of un.] signifies A single time or act (S, Msb) [of prayer and of imprecation, as is indicated in the S, and also, though less plainly, in the TA]. See دُعَآءٌ. b2: [Also, as such, A call.] You say, هُوَمِنِّى دَعْوَةُ الرَّجُلَ (K, TA) and الكَلْبِ, and دَعْوَةَ الرَّجُلِ and الكَلْبِ, in the former case دعوة being used as a simple subst., and in the latter case as an adv. n., (TA,) meaning قَدْرُ مَا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُ ذَاكَ [i. e. He, or it, is distant from me the space of the call of the man and of the dog]. (K, TA.) And لَهُمُ الدَّعْوَةُ عَلَى

غَيْرِهِمْ The call is to them before the others of them: (K, TA: [يَبْدَأُ in the CK is a mistake for يُبْدَأُ:]) accord. to the T and the Nh, in the case of gifts, or pay, or salary. (TA.) b3: The call to prayer: whence, in a trad., الدَّعُوَةُ فِى الحَبَشَةِ [meaning The office of calling to prayer rests among the Abyssinians]; (JM, TA;) said by the Prophet in preference of his مُؤَذِّن Bilál. (JM.) b4: A call, or an invitation, to El-Islám. (Mgh.) Yousay, أَدْعُوكَ بِدَعْوَةِ الإِسْلَامِ and السلام ↓ دِعَايَةِ and الاسلام ↓ دَاعِيَةِ, meaning I call thee, or invite thee, by the declaration of the faith whereby the people of false religions are called: دَاعِيَةٌ being an inf. n. syn. with دَعْوَةٌ, like عَافِيَةٌ and عَاقِبَةٌ: (JM:) دَعْوَةُ الإِسْلَامِ and ↓ دَعايَتُهُ and ↓ دَاعِيَتُهُ signify the same: and دَعْوَةُ الحَقِّ [in like manner] means the declaration that there is no deity but God. (TA.) b5: An invitation to food, (S, M, Msb, K, TA,) and to beverage; or, accord. to Lh, specially a repast, feast, or banquet, on the occasion of a wedding or the like: (TA:) thus pronounced by most of the Arabs, except 'Adee of Er-Rabáb, who pronounce it, in this sense, ↓ دِعْوَةٌ: (A 'Obeyd, S, M, Msb:) it is an inf. n. in this sense, (S,) or a simple subst.: (Msb:) and ↓ دُعْوَةٌ signifies the same; (K;) or, as some say, this, which is given as on the authority of Ktr, is a mistake: (TA:) and so does ↓ مَدْعَاةٌ [app. an inf. n.]. (S, Msb, K.) You say, كُنَّافِى

دَعْوَةِ فُلَانٍ and ↓ مَدْعَاتِهِ, meaning [We were included in] the invitation (دُعَآء [see 1]) of such a one to food: (S, Msb: [but in the latter, نَحْنُ, in the place of كُنَّا:]) [or we were at the repast, or feast, or banquet, of such a one; for] you say [also] دَعَاهُ إِلَى الدَّعْوَةِ and ↓ الى المَدْعَاةِ [He invited him to the repast, or feast, or banquet: and in this sense دَعْوَة is commonly used in the present day]. (MA.) b6: See also دِعْوَةٌ: b7: and دَعْوَى. b8: Also i. q. حَلِفٌ or حَلْفٌ (accord. to different copies of the K) [both in the sense of Confederation to aid or assist]: (K, TA:) [whence] one says, دَعْوَةٌ فُلَانٍ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ

[meaning The confederation of such a one is with the sons of such a one]. (TA.) دُعْوَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

دِعْوَةٌ respects relationship, (S, Msb,) like ↓ دَعْوَى or دَعْوَى فِى النَّسَبِ; (S;) meaning A claim in respect of relationship; (K;) [i. e.] one's claiming as his father a person who is not his father; (Az, Mgh, Msb;) [in other words,] one's claiming the relationship of a son to a person who is not his father: or one's being claimed as a son by a person who is not his father: (Az, Msb:) thus pronounced by most of the Arabs, except 'Adee of Er-Rabáb, who pronounce it, in this sense, ↓ دَعْوَةٌ. (S, Msb.)

دَعْوَى: see دُعَآءٌ, in five places. b2: Also a subst. from 8; (S, M, Mgh, Msb, TA;) omitted in the K, though better known than the sun; (TA;) and so ↓ دَعَاوَةٌ (M, Msb, K) and ↓ دِعَاوَةٌ and ↓ دِعْوَةٌ, (M, K,) accord. to the general pronunciation, (M, TA,) and ↓ دَعْوَةٌ, (M, K,) accord. to the pronunciation of 'Adee of Er-Rabáb, (M, TA,) and ↓ دَاعِيَةٌ; (TA, there said to be syn. with دَعْوَى;) [meaning An assertion that a thing belongs to one, or is due to one; a claim; as is indicated in the S and Mgh and K &c.;] a demand; a suit; (Yz, Az, Msb;) whether true or false: (Mgh, K, TA:) the pl. of دَعْوَى is دَعَاوٍ and دَعَاوَى; the former of which is preferable accord. to some, being, as IJ says, the original form; but some say that the latter is preferable: (Msb:) [the latter only is mentioned in the Mgh:] the alif in the sing. [written ى] is a sign of the fem. gender; and therefore the word is without tenween. (Mgh.) Yz mentions the sayings, لِى فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ دَعْوَى I have, in respect of this thing, [a claim or] a demand, and دَعَاوَى or دَعَاوٍ [claims or] demands, as written in different copies. (Az, Msb.) And لَوْ أُعْطِىَ النَّاسُ بِدَعَاوِيهِمْ [If men were given according to their claims, or demands,] occurs in a trad. (Msb.) b3: See also دِعْوَةٌ.

دُعْوِىٌّ is a word used only in negative sentences: (S:) you say, مَا بِالدَّارِ دُعْوِىٌّ There is not in the house any one: (S, K: *) Ks says that it is from دَعَوْتُ, and [properly] means لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَنْ يَدْعُو [there is not in it one who calls, &c.]. (S.) دُعَآءٌ is an inf. n. of 1; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ دَعْوَى: (K:) the former is originally دُعَاوٌ: (S:) [both, used as simple substs., signify A prayer, or supplication, to God:] and the pl. of the former is أَدْعِيَةٌ. (S.) IF says that some of the Arabs, for ↓ دَعْوَةٌ, say ↓ دَعْوَى, with the fem. alif [written ى]. (Msb, TA.) One says, اَللّٰهُمَّ المُسْلِمِينَ ↓ أَشْرِكْنَا فِى دَعْوَى, meaning [O God, make us to share] in the prayer (دُعَآء) of the Muslims. (TA.) And hence, in the Kur [x. 10], فِيهَا سُبْحَانَك اللّٰهُمَّ ↓ دَعْوَاهُمْ [Their prayer in it shall be سبحانك اللّٰهمّ]. (TA.) [دُعَآءٌ followed by لِ signifies An invocation of good, a blessing, or a benediction: followed by عَلَى, an imprecation of evil, a curse, or a malediction.] سُورَهُ الدُّعَآءِ is a title of The first chapter of the Kur-án. (Bd.) b2: [Hence,] دُعَآءٌ signifies also Adoration, worship, or religious service. (TA.) b3: And i. q. إِيمَانٌ [i. e. Belief; particularly in God, and in his word and apostles &c.: faith: &c.]: a meaning mentioned by the Expositors of El-Bukháree.

(TA.) دَعِىٌّ One invited to a repast: pl. دُعَوَآءُ; as in the saying عِنْدَهُ دُعَوَآءُ [With him, or at his abode, are guests invited to a repast].

(Jel.) b3: And One whose origin, or lineage, or parentage, is suspected; (K, TA;) as also ↓ مَدْعِىٌّ: pl. of the former as in the next preceding sentence. (TA.) دَعَاوَةٌ and دِعَاوَةٌ: see دَعْوَى.

دِعَايَةٌ: see دَعْوَةٌ, in two places.

دَعَّآءٌ One who prays, or supplicates God, or who calls, &c., much, or often. (TA.) الدَّعَّآءَةُ [an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates;] The سَبَّابَة [or fore finger]; (K;) i. e. the finger with which one calls [or beckons]. [TA.) دَاعٍ [Praying, or supplicating God:] calling, or summoning: (Mgh:) [inviting:] and particularly, [as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates,] one who calls, or summons, or invites, to obey a right or a wrong religion: (TA:) pl. دُعَاةٌ (Mgh, Msb, TA) and دَاعُونَ. (Msb, TA.) [Hence,] دَاعِى اللّٰهِ [God's summoner, or inviter; i. e.] the prophet: (K:) and also, (Msb, K,) or simply الدَّاعِى, (TA,) The مُؤَذِّن [or summoner to prayer]. (Msb, K, TA.) [Hence also, دَاعِى المَنَايَا The summoner of death, lit. of deaths; like طَارِقُ المَنَايَا] b2: See also the next paragraph, in two places. b3: Also A punisher. (TA.) دَاعِيَةٌ: see دَعْوَةٌ, in two places: b2: and see also دَعْوَى. b3: دَاعِيَّةٌ اللَّبَنِ The remainder of the milk, (K,) or what is left, of the milk, in the udder, (S, Mgh,) that draws, or attracts, (K,) or in order that it may draw, or attract, (S, Mgh,) what is to come after it; (S, Mgh, K; *) as also اللَّبَنِ ↓ دَاعِى, occurring in a trad., where it is said, دَعْ دَاعِىَ اللَّبَنِ [Leave thou the remainder of the milk, in the udder, that is to draw, or attract, what is to come after it]; (S, Mgh;) i. e. do not exhaust it entirely. (Mgh.) b4: Hence, دَاعِيَةٌ is metaphorically applied to signify (tropical:) A mean, or means; a cause; or a motive; (Har p. 306;) [as also ↓ دَاعٍ, often used in these senses in the present day;] and so, in an intensive sense, ↓ مَدْعَاةٌ [properly signifying a cause of drawing, attracting, or inducing, &c., originally مَدْعَوَةٌ, being a noun of the same class as مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ]: (Idem p. 86:) [the pl. of the first is دَوَاعٍ.] b5: Also (assumed tropical:) The cry of horsemen in battle; (K;) as being a call to him who will aid, or succour.

(S, Mgh, TA.) This is the primary signification: (TA:) or, accord. to As, it is from نَصَّ النَّاقَةَ, q. v. infra. (S.) You say, نَصَّ العَرُوسَ, (M, K,) or نَصَّتْهَا, (A, Mgh,) or نَصَّها النِّسَآءُ, (Msb,) aor. as above, (A, Mgh,) and so the inf. n., (Msb,) He, or she, or the women, raised, (A, Msb,) or seated, (K,) or raised and seated, (Mgh,) or showed, or displayed, (M,) the bride upon the مِنَصَّة, (M, A, Msb, K,) or upon the مَنَصَّة.

And نَصَّ المَتَاعَ, (M, K,) inf. n. as above, (M,) He put the furniture, or goods, or utensils, one upon another. (M, K.) Hence, (TA,) نَصَّ الحَدِيثَ, (M, Msb, TA,) or نَصَّهُ إِلَى

صَاحِبِهِ, (A,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (M, Msb, TA,) (tropical:) He traced up, or ascribed, or attributed, the tradition to the author thereof, resting it on his authority, by mentioning him, or mentioning, uninterruptedly, in ascending order, the persons by whom it had been handed down, up to the author; or mentioning the person who had related it to him from the author, if only one person intervened; syn. رَفَعَهُ; (M, TA;) [i. e.] رَفَعَهُ إِلَى

مَنْ قَالَهُ: (Msb:) IAar says, (TA,) النَّصُّ signifies الإِسْنَادُ إِلَى الرَّئِيسِ الأَكْبَرِ (tropical:) [the tracing up, or ascribing, or attributing, a tradition, in the manner explained above, to the greatest person of authority, here meaning Mohammad, or the author of the tradition]; (K, TA;) [i. e.] نَصُّ الحَدِيثِ signifies إِسْنَادُهُ وَرَفْعُهُ إِلَى الرَّئِيسِ الأَكْبَرِ.

See also أَنَصُّ. b2: نَصَّ الشَّىْءَ (assumed tropical:) He made the thing apparent, manifest, plain, or evident; he showed it, exhibited it, manifested it, evinced it, discovered it, or revealed it. (M, * K.) [The verb seems to be thus used because a thing is rendered conspicuous by being raised. See نَصَّ العَرُوسَ, above.] b3: [Hence, نَصَّ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا, aor. and inf. n. as above, (tropical:) He, or it, (generally said of a passage in the Kur. or a trad.,) made a statement, or a plain, explicit, unequivocal declaration, respecting some, or any, particular thing, not capable of application to any other thing: and he mentioned something, or anything, particularly, or specially; he particularized, or specified it by words; very frequently used in these senses: and such we are to understand from the saying] النَّصُّ also signifies التَّوْقِيفُ وَالتَّعْيِينُ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا: (K:) [for which I would rather read النَّصَّ عَلَى شَىْءٍ مَّا also signifies التَّوْقِيفُ وَالتَّعْيِينُ: adding the observation that التوقيف as syn. with النصّ is restricted in art. وقف in the K to a special relation to the law: and that النَّصُّ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ is often found explained as signifying تَعْيِينُهُ; as, for instance, in p. 377 of Har.:] these significations of النَّصُّ are tropical, from that word as denoting “ elevation ” and “ appearance. ” (TA.) See also نَصٌّ below. b4: [From نَصَّهُ signifying “ he raised it,” and consequently “ he made it apparent,” are derived several other significations, here following.]

b5: يَنُصُّهُمْ [app. for يَنُصُّ مَا عِنْدَهُمْ] occurs in a trad. respecting Heraclius, meaning (assumed tropical:) He elicits, and makes apparent, their opinion: (TA:) or نَصَّ الرَّجُلَ, (S, M, &c.,) inf. n. as above, (M,) signifies (tropical:) he went to the utmost point in questioning, or asking, the man respecting a thing, (S, K,) so as to elicit what he possessed [of information respecting it]; (S;) i. e.

[See also 3.]

b6: [In like manner you say,] نَصَّ النَّاقَةَ, (S, M, Mgh, K,) and الدَّابَّةَ, (M, Msb,) aor. as above, (M,) and so the inf. n., (S, M,) He made the she-camel, and the beast, to exert herself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond measure, in going, or pace; or to go the pace termed مَرْفُوع; syn. رَفَعَهَا فِى السَّيْرِ: (M, Mgh:) or he elicited her utmost pace; (K, TA;) from النَّصُّ as signifying الرَّفْعُ; for the phrase رَفَعَهَا فِى السَّيْرِ necessarily implies the eliciting the utmost of her celerity of pace: (TA:) or he went a vehement pace so as to elicit the utmost that she possessed [of celerity[: (As, S:) or he put her in motion so as to elicit her utmost pace: (A'Obeyd, TA:) or he urged, or incited, her, and elicited her pace: (Msb:) نَصَّ, alone, also occurs in a trad., (M, Msb,) as meaning رَفَعَ نَاقَتَهُ: (M:) and نَاقَتَهُ ↓ نَصْنَصَ signifies the same as نَصَّهَا. (IKtt, TA.) You do not say of a camel نَصَّ, making him the agent, and the verb intrans. (O, * TA.) [In the M, however, I find it said, that النَّصُّ and النَّصِيصُ signify السَّيْرُ الشَّدِيدُ; app. indicating that they are inf. ns., of which the verb is نَصَّ, aor. , accord. to rule, نَصِّ, signifying He went a vehement pace, or vehemently: and Golius says, as on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, that this verb is used intransitively, with نَصِيصٌ for its inf. n., as signifying valide incessit: but see نَصٌّ below.] b7: [Hence, app.,] النَّصُّ also signifies The urging or inciting [a beast]; syn. الحَثُّ. (M.) b8: and نَصَّ الشَّىْءَ, (M, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. نَصٌّ, (TA,) He moved the thing; put it in motion, or into a state of commotion; agitated it; stirred it; shook it; (M, K;) as also ↓ نَصْنَصَهُ. (S, M, K.) Hence the saying, فُلَانٌ يَنُصُّ أَنْفَهُ غَضَبًا (K, TA [in the CK, incorrectly, يَنِصُّ,]) Such a one moves about his nose by reason of anger. (TA.) And ↓ نَصْنَصَ لِسَانَهُ He moved about his tongue; (S, M;) like نَضْنَضَهُ; (M;) which is a dial. form; (A'Obeyd, S;) the former being the original; the ص not being, as some assert it to be, substituted for the ض; for these two letters are not of the same kind so as to be commutable. (M.) A2: See also 8.2 نَصَّّ see 3.3 ناصّهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُنَاصَّةٌ, (TA,) He (a man, TA) went to the utmost length with him, (namely his creditor,) in reckoning, so as to omit nothing therein; (K, TA;) as also ↓ نصّصهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَنْصِيصٌ. (TA.) He (God) went to the utmost length with him, (namely a man,) in questioning and in reckoning. (TA.) [See also 1.]6 تناصّ القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, crowded, thronged, or pressed, together. (TA.) 8 انتصّ He, or it, (said of a camel's hump, Lth, TA,) became raised, or elevated, or high: (K, TA:) or (TA) became even and erect. (Lth, K, * TA.) [In a copy of the A, the verb in these senses, and relating to a camel's hump, is written نَصَّ.] You say also, انتصّت العَرُوسُ, (M, K,) or انتصّت على المِنَصَّةِ, (A,) The bride became raised, (A,) or seated, (K,) or shown or displayed, (M,) upon the مِنَصَّة. (M, A, K.) A2: He (a man, TA) drew himself together; contracted himself; or shrank. (Ibn-'Abbád, K, TA.) R. Q. 1 نَصْنَصَ, (S, M, K,) inf. n. نَصْنَصَةٌ, (Sh, M,) He, or it, became in motion, or in a state of commotion; became agitated, stirred, or shaken; moved, or moved about,; bestirred himself or itself; shook. (Sh.) He (a man) shook in his walk, being erect. (M.) He (a camel) shook, or became in a state of commotion, in rising from the ground. (M.) b2: [Also,] said of a camel, it is like حَصْحَصَ; (S;) i. e., it signifies (TA) He (the camel) fixed, or made firm or steady, his knees upon the ground, and put himself in motion, or in a state of commotion, previously to rising. (Lth, K, TA.) [See also نَضْنَضَ.] b3: And He (a camel) made a hollow place in the ground with his breast, in order to lie down. (M, TA.) A2: نَصْنَصَ used transitively, see 1, latter portion, in three places.

نَصٌّ The end, or extremity, of anything; (Az, S, M;) the utmost, or extreme, extent, term, limit, point, or reach, of a thing: this is the primary signification. (Az, TA.) It is said in a trad., (S, M,) of 'Alee, (S,) إِذَا بَلَغَ النِّسَآءُ نَصَّ الحِقَاقِ, فَالعَصَبَةُ أَوُلَى بِهَا مِنَ الأُمِّ (S, * M, K, *) or نَصَّ الحَقَائِقِ, (K, * TA,) but the former is that which is commonly known; (TA;) i. e. When women attain the period of mature intellect, (Mbr, S, K, TA,) and know the real natures of things, (K, art. حق,) [then the male relations on the father's side have a better right to dispose of her in marriage than the mother;] meaning, when they attain to that age at which they are qualified to contend for their rights; [accord. to the former reading;] for this is what is termed الحِقَاق: (K, * TA:) or when they attain to puberty: (Az, TA:) or when they attain to that period at which they become objects of contention for right; when every one of the guardians asserts himself to have the best right: (K:) or الحقاق in the trad. is a metaphorical term, from the same word as applied to camels [when entering upon the fourth year]; (K, * TA;) and الحقائق, also, in this case, accord. to some, properly signifies the same, being a pl. of حِقَّةٌ; (TA in art. حق;) and the meaning is, when they attain to the extreme term of childhood. (M, K.) A2: In the conventional language of men of science, it signifies (tropical:) A thing [or statement] plainly, or explicitly, declared, or made manifest, by God, and his Apostle; of the measure فَعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (Msb:) or a نَصّ of the Kur-án, and of the traditions, is an expression, or a phrase, or a sentence, indicating a particular meaning, not admitting any other than it: (TA:) so in the conventional language of the lawyers and the scholastic theologians: (MF, on the خُطْبَة of the K:) or a statute, or an ordinance, indicated by the manifest or plain meaning of words of the Kur-án, and of the Sunneh: from النَّصُّ as denoting “ elevation ” and “ appearance: ”

or, as some say, from نَصَّهُ as signifying “ he elicited, and made apparent, his opinion. ” (TA.) Hence, also, as used by the practical lawyers, it signifies (tropical:) An evidence, or a proof: (TA:) [and particularly a text of the Kur-án, or of the Sunneh, used as an authority in an argument, for proof of an assertion.] The pl. [in all these senses] is نُصُوصٌ. (Msb.) b2: [Also, (assumed tropical:) The text, or very words, of an author, book, writing, or passage: frequently used in this sense.]

A3: Hardness, difficulty, or straitness, of an affair, or a state, or case. (M, TA.) A4: سَيْرٌ نَصٌّ, and ↓ نَصِيصٌ, (S, K,) A vehement pace, in which a beast is made to exert itself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond measure; or in which the utmost possible celerity is elicited; [this meaning seems to be indicated, though not expressed, in the S;] syn. جِدٌّ رَفِيعٌ: (K:) or, the former, as Az says, in one place, a kind of swift pace: or, as he says in another place, the utmost pace which a beast of carriage is able to attain: (TA:) or نَصٌّ and ↓ نَصِيصٌ signify a vehement pace or going. (M.) See 1.

نَصِيصٌ: see نَصٌّ, last sentence, in two places.

هَوُ نَصَّاصُ الأَنْفِ He is one who moves about his nose [much] by reason of anger. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) حَيَّةٌ نَصْنَاصٌ A serpent that moves about much. (K.) [See also نَضْنَاضٌ.]

أَنَصُّ [a comparative and superlative epithet from نَصَّ الحَدِيثَ, q. v.]. 'Amr Ibn-Deenár said, مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَنَصَّ لِلْحَدِيثِ مِنَ الزُّهْرِىِّ I have not seen a man more skilled in tracing up, or ascribing, or attributing, a tradition to its author, in the manner explained above, (voce نَصَّ,) than Ez-Zuhree; i. q. أَرْفَعَ لَهُ and أَسْنَدَ. (TA.) مَنَصَّةٌ: see what next follows, throughout.

مِنَصَّةٌ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) or ↓ مَنَصَّةٌ, (Mgh,) The thing upon which a bride is raised (S, * A, K) and seated, (Mgh,) or shown or displayed, (M,) or upon which she stands (تقف [but this is probably a mistake for تَقْعُدُ, i. e. sits,]) when displayed to the bridegroom, (Msb,) in order that she may be seen (M, Mgh) [and distinguished] from among the women; (Mgh;) being a chair, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) or couch; (TA;) or consisting of pieces of cloth raised, and carpets laid smoothly for a seat: (M:) written with kesr (Msb, K) as being an instrument, (Msb,) or with fet-h [as being a place]: (Mgh:) accord. to some authorities, مِنَصَّةٌ and مَنَصَّةٌ seem to signify the same thing: (TA:) or the latter is the حَجَلَة [i. e. a kind of curtained canopy] (K, TA) over the مِنَصَّة: (TA:) from نَصَّ المَتَاعَ, q. v. (K.) It is said in a proverb, وُضِعَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى المِنَصَّةِ (assumed tropical:) Such a one was exposed to disgrace and infamy: (TA:) or to the utmost disgrace and infamy. (M.)
