خدع

1 خَدَعَهُ, (TA,) [aor. ـَ inf. n. خَدْعٌ, (Bd in ii. 8,) He hid it, or concealed it; (TA;) as also ↓ اخدعه, (Msb, TA,) inf. n. إِخْدَاعٌ. (TA.) b2: [And hence, app.,] (Lh, K,) inf. n. as above, (Lh,) (tropical:) He doubled it, or folded it, one part upon another; namely, a garment, or piece of cloth. (Lh, K, TA.) b3: [And hence, also, accord. to some,] خَدَعَهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. خَدْعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خِدْعٌ, (Az, S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (Msb, TA,) and خَدِيعَةٌ, (TA,) or this [also] is a simple subst., (Msb, TA,) like خِدَاعٌ, [which is also an inf. n. of 3,] and like خُدٌعَةٌ, (TA,) He deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted, him; syn. خَتَلَهُ; (S, Mgh, K;) and desired to do to him a foul, an abominable, or an evil, action, without his knowing whence it proceeded: (S, K:) or he dissembled [or acted deceitfully] with him; pretended to him the contrary of what he concealed: (TA:) or he made him to resign, or relinquish, the object that he had in view, by pretending to him something the contrary of what he concealed: (Er-Rághib, B:) and ↓ خادعهُ, (S, TA,) inf. n. مُخَادَعَةٌ (S) [and خِدَاعٌ], signifies the same; (S, * TA;) as also ↓ اختدعهُ; and ↓ تخدّعهُ; and ↓ خدّعهُ, inf. n. تَخْدِيعٌ: (TA:) or this last signifies he deceived him, deluded him, beguiled him, circumvented him, or outwitted him, much: (KL:) [and of another of these verbs we find the following various explanations:] ↓ خادعهُ is syn. with كَايَدَهُ [which has the first of the meanings assigned in this sentence to خَدَعَهُ; or signifies he practised with him mutual deceit, delusion, guile, or circumvention; he deceived him, &c., being deceived, &c., by him; and this latter meaning, if not each meaning, may be intended here by كايده; for Bd says, (in ii. 8,) that مُخَادَعَة is between two]: (TA:) or it signifies he strove, endeavoured, or desired, to deceive, delude, beguile, circumvent, or outwit, him; (AAF, L;) [agreeably with what is said by Kemál Páshá Zádeh, (as I find in a marginal note in a copy of the MS, and also in the Kull p. 178,) that one says of a man خادع when he has not attained his desire, and خَدَعَ when he has attained his desire;] for many a verb of the measure فَاعَلَ relates to one only; as in the instances of عَاقَبْتُ اللِّصَّ and طَارَقْتُ النَّعْلَ: (L:) or it signifies, [like خَدَعَهُ,] he pretended to him something different from that which was in his mind. (K.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 8], اللّٰهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ↓ يُخَادِعُونَ, (TA,) meaning They pretend, to God and to those who have believed, something different from that which is in their minds, by concealing unbelief and pretending belief; for when they do thus to the believers, they do thus to God: (K:) and again, [in iv. 141], اللّٰهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ ↓ يُخَادِعُونَ [They strive, endeavour, or desire, to deceive God, or] they think that they deceive God, but He is [their deceiver, i. e.,] the requiter, to them, of their خِدَاع [or deceit, &c.]: (TA:) or the meaning is [they deceive] the friends of God: (S:) and [agreeably with this last rendering, and that given in the K,] Aboo-Hayáh reads, in the former passage, يَخْدَعُونَ اللّٰهَ: (TA:) [which passage continues thus:] إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ↓ وَمَا يُخَادِعُونَ [but they do not deceive any save themselves]; i. e., the re-sult of their خِدَاع [or deceit] does not befall any save themselves: (K:) here, again, Aboo-Hayáh reads يَخْدَعُونَ: (TA:) Muärrik reads وَمَا

↓ يَخَدِّعُونَ, meaning يَخْتَدِعُونَ. (K.) Accord. to IAar, الخَدْعُ signifies مَنْعُ الحَقِّ [meaning The preventing from discovering, or accepting, the truth]. (L.) [“ He deceived him,” or the like, seems to be generally regarded as the primary signification of خَدَعَهُ, for it occupies the first place in all the lexicons to which I have access: but Bd says (in ii. 8) that this meaning is from خَدَعَ said of the ضَبِّ, and that the primary signification of خَدْعٌ is the act of “ concealing: ” the action of the ضبّ, however, as will appear in what follows, implies, and originates from, a desire of deceit; and so, often, does the act of concealing.] b4: [Hence, app.,] خَدَعْتُهُ I gained the mastery over him. (TA.) b5: خَدَعَ, (Lth, TA, &c.,) aor. ـَ inf. n. خَدْعٌ, (TA,) said of a [lizard of the kind called] ضَبّ, [as though meaning either خَدَعَ المُحْتَرِشَ It deceived the hunter, or خَدَعَ نَفْسَهُ it concealed itself,] signifies it entered into its hole; (Lth;) as also خَدَعَ فِى حُجْرِهِ: (S, K:) or it scented a man, and therefore entered its hole, in order that it might not be caught; as also ↓ انخدع: (TA:) or it entered into its hole in a tortuous manner: and in like manner, a gazelle into its covert: but mostly said of a ضبّ: (Abu-l-'Omeythil:) also said of other things: (Lth:) of a fox, meaning he took to going to the right and left, deceitfully, or guilefully: and of a man, meaning he hid himself from another: and he assumed a disposition not his own. (TA.) [See also خِدَاعٌ, below.] b6: Hence, i. e. from خَدَعَ said of the ضبّ, (A, TA,) خَدَعَتْ عَيْنُ الشَّمْسِ (tropical:) The disc of the sun set; (A, K, TA;) like خَضَعَتْ. (TA in art. خضع.) b7: [And] خَدَعَتْ عَيْنُهُ (tropical:) His eye sank, or became depressed, in his head. (Lh, K, TA.) [Also meaning (assumed tropical:) His eye did not sleep: for] خَدَعَتِ العَيْنُ signifies (assumed tropical:) the eye did not sleep. (TA.) b8: [Hence also, as indicated in the S,] مَا خَدَعَتْ فِى عَيْنِى نَعْسَةٌ (assumed tropical:) [A slumber did not enter my eye]: (S:) or مَا خَدَعَتْ بِعَيْنِهِ نَعْسَةٌ, (so in the L,) or خَدْعَةٌ, i. e. نَعْسَةٌ, (so in the TA,) meaning (tropical:) a slumber did not pass by his eye. (L, TA.) [And from the same source have originated several other tropical significations, of which exs. here follow.] b9: خَدَعَتِ الأُمُورِ (tropical:) The affairs varied in their state; or were, or became, variable. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) b10: خَدَعَتِ السُّوقُ, (S, K,) inf. n. خَدْعٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) [The market varied in its state; at one time being brisk, and at another time dull, in respect of traffic: (see خَادِعٌ, below:) or] the market became dull in respect of traffic; (S, K;) as also ↓ انخدعت; (Lh, TA;) or انخدع: (K: [but سوق is generally fem.:]) and, as some say, it became brisk in respect of traffic: thus it appears to have two contr. significations: (TA:) and خَدَعَ السِّعْرُ (tropical:) The price became high, or dear. (TA.) b11: Said of a man, خَدَعَ also signifies (tropical:) His wealth, (K, TA,) and the like, (TA,) became small in amount, or little. (K, TA.) b12: Said of a time, inf. n. خَدْعٌ, (tropical:) Its rain became little: (TA:) and of rain, (tropical:) It became little. (K, TA.) b13: Said of spittle, or saliva, (tropical:) It dried: (S, K, TA:) or it became little, and dried, in the mouth: (A, TA.) or it became deficient; and when it becomes deficient, it becomes thick; and when it becomes thick, it becomes stinking: (TA:) or it became corrupt: (IAar, TA:) and in like manner, said of a thing, it became corrupt, or bad. (TA.) [See also خَادِعٌ, below.] b14: Said of a generous man, (K,) (tropical:) He refrained [from giving], (S, L, K,) and refused. (L.) You say, كَانَ فُلَانٌ يُعْطِى ثُمَّ خَدَعَ (tropical:) [Such a one used to give; then he refrained, and refused]. (S.) A2: خَدَعَهُ aor. ـَ inf. n. خَدْعٌ, He cut, or severed, his [vein called the] أَخْدَع. (TA.) 2 خدّعهُ, inf. n. تَخْدِيعٌ: see 1, third sentence. b2: خُدِّعَ He was deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted, repeatedly, so that he became experienced: or he was deceived, &c., in war, time after time, so that he became skilful: or he became experienced in affairs: or he became experienced in affairs, sound in judgment, cunning, and guileful. (TA.) 3 خادعهُ, inf. n. مُخَادَعَةٌ and خِدَاعٌ: see 1, in five places. b2: مُخَادَعَةٌ العَيْنِ means The causing the eye to doubt respecting that which it sees. (Ham p. 541.) b3: خادع المَجْدَ, (As, K, *) or الحَمْدَ, (AA,) a phrase used by Er-Rá'ee, (TA,) He forsook, or relinquished, (As, AA, K,) glory, (As,) or praise, not being worthy of it.

(K.) In the Kur ii. 8, quoted above, Yahyà Ibn-Yaamar reads, وَمَا يُخْدِعُونَ. (TA.) 5 تخدّع He constrained himself to deceive, delude, beguile, circumvent, outwit, or the like. (K, * TA.) A2: تخدّعهُ: see 1, third sentence.6 تخادعوا They deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted, one another; or practised deceit, guile, circumvention, or the like, one to another. (TA.) b2: تخادع He pretended deceit, delusion, guile, or circumvention, (S, * P S,) on his part: (S:) or he pretended to be deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted, not being so; (K, TA;) as also ↓ انخدع.

خَدْعَةٌ A single act of deceit, delusion, guile, circumvention, or outwitting. (Mgh.) It is said in a trad., (Mgh, TA,) الحَرْبُ خَدْعَةٌ, and ↓ خُدْعَةٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and ↓ خِدْعَةٌ, (K,) and ↓ خُدَعَةٌ, (Az, Ks, S, Mgh, K,) accord. to different relaters; (Th, Mgh, K;) the first being the most chaste, (S, Mgh, Msb,) said to be the form used by Mo-hammad; (Th, Mgh, Msb;) the second ascribed by El-Khattábee to the vulgar; (TA;) the last the best in point of meaning: (Mgh:) i. e., accord. to the first reading, (Mgh,) War is finished by a single act of deceit, &c.; (Mgh, O, K;) accord. to the second, war is a thing by which one is deceived; (Mgh, Msb;) or war is deceived; for when one of the two parties deceives the other, it is as though the war itself were deceived; (IAth, TA;) [accord. to the third, war is a mode, or manner, of deceiving;] and accord. to the fourth, war is a deceiver of those engaged in it (IAth, Mgh, TA) by the frequent deceits which occur therein.

See خَدْعَةٌ. b2: One whom people deceive, delude, beguile, circumvent, or outwit, (S, K,) much; (K;) like as لُعْنَةٌ signifies one “ who is much cursed. ” (TA.) [See, again, خَدْعَةٌ. The comparison of خُدْعَةٌ in one sense with لُعْبَةٌ, and in another sense with لُعْنَةٌ, suggests that one of the explanations above may perhaps be founded upon a mistranscription. On فُعْلَةٌ as the measure of a word having the sense of a pass. part. n., see a remark of IB voce لَقَطٌ.] b3: See also خَدِيعَةٌ.

(TA in art. رتق. [See also بُصْمٌ.]) It denotes also The [space that is measured by] putting the four fingers close together. (K. [See also عَتَبٌ.]) رُتْبَةٌ A single step of stairs or of a ladder; (MA;) [and so ↓ مَرْتَبَةٌ, as appears from what follows:] pl. of the former رُتَبٌ (MA) [and رُتَبَاتٌ, for Az says that] رُتْبَةٌ signifies one of the رُتَبَات of stairs: (T:) [the pl. of مَرْتَبَةٌ is مَرَاتِبُ.] You say, رَقِىَ فِى رُتَبِ الدَّرَجِ and ↓ مَرَاتِبِهَا [He ascended the steps of the stairs].

(T, K.) رَاتِبٌ (Msb) and ↓ تُرْتُبٌ and ↓ تُرْتَبٌ (M, K) and ↓ تَرْتُبٌ (M) A thing constant, firm, steady, steadfast, stable, fixed, fast, settled, established, stationary, or motionless: (M, Msb, K: [the third of these words, in this sense, is mentioned in the T in art. ترب: but see the next paragraph:]) and the first, standing erect, or upright; (T, TA;) applied to a thing, (T,) to a كَعْب [i. e. cockal-bone, or die], and to a man. (TA.) Yousay أَمْرٌ رَاتِبٌ A thing, or an affair, continual, or uninterrupted, (دَارٌّ.) constant, firm, steady, &c.: and ↓ أَمْرٌ تُرْتَبٌ, the latter word of the measure تُفْعَلٌ, with damm to the ت and fet-h to the ع, a thing, or an affair, constant, firm, steady, &c. (S.) And عِزٌّ رَاتِبٌ Might, high rank or condition, or the like, constant, firm, &c. (A.) And عَيْشٌ رَاتِبٌ Constant, or continual, (M, TA,) fixed, settled, or established, (TA,) means of subsistence. (M, TA.) And مَا زِلْتُ عَلَى هٰذَا رَاتِبًا I ceased not to be, or to do, thus constantly; as also رَاتِمًا; in which, IJ says, the م is app. a substitute for ب, because we have not heard رَتَمَ used like رَتَبَ; but it may be radical, from الرَّتِيمَةُ. (M.) b2: [رَاتِبٌ in the modern language, used as a subst., signifies A set pension, salary, and allowance; a ration; and any set office, or task: and so رَاتِبَةٌ; pl. رَوَاتِبُ.]

تُرْتَبٌ and تُرْتُبٌ and تَرْتُبٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in four places. b2: You say also, جَاؤُوا تُرْتَبًا and تُرْتُبًا, meaning They came all together. (K.) And a poet says, (M,) namely, Ziyád Ibn-Zeyd El-'Odharee, (TA,) وَكَانَ لَنَا فَضْلٌ عَلَى النَّاسِ تُرْتَبَا meaning [And we possessed excellence above the people] all together: (M, TA:) thus accord. to the reading commonly known: but, as some relate it, وَكَانَ لَنَا حَقًّا عَلَى النَّاسِ تُرْتَبَا i. e. [And it was a just claim that we had upon the people,] settled, or established. (TA.)
