And اِدَّرَعَتْ She (a woman) clad herself with a دِرْع, (S, K,) i. e. a قَمِيص [or shift]. (S, TA.) b2: ادّرع مِدْرَعَةً, and ↓ تدرّعها, and ↓ تَمَدْرَعَهَا, (Kh,) and ↓ تدرّع alone, (S,) and ↓ تَمَدْرَعَ, (S, K,) but this last is of weak authority, (S,) He clad himself with a مِدْرَعَة [q. v.]. (S, K,) b3: ادّرع فُلَانٌ اللَّيْلِ (tropical:) Such a one entered into the darkness of the night, journeying therein; (K, TA;) like اِغْتَمَدَ اللَّيْلَ. (S and L in art. غمد.)

دِرْعٌ A coat of mail; syn. زَرَدِّيَةٌ: (IAth, Msb, TA:) [or a coat of defence of any kind; being a term applied in the S and K &c. to a يَلَبَة, i. e. a coat of defence of skins, or of camel's hide:] and also, of plate-armour: (AO, in his book on the دِرْع and بَيْضَة, cited in the TA voce مِغْفَرٌ:) [but the first is the most general, and proper, meaning:] as meaning a دِرْع of iron, it is fem.; (S, Mgh, K *) or mostly so; (Msb;) but sometimes masc.: (K:) AO says that it is masc. and fem.; (S, TA;) and so Lh: (TA:) pl. أَدْرُعٌ and أَدْرَاعٌ and دُرُوعٌ; (S, Msb, K;) the first and second, pls. of pauc.; the third, a pl. of mult. (S.) The dim. is ↓ دُرَيْعٌ, which is anomalous, (S, Msb, K,) for by rule it should be with ة; (S;) or this may be [a regular form] of the dial. of those who make the word masc.; and some say ↓ دُرَيْعَةٌ. (Msb.) b2: Also A woman's قَمِيص [or shift]; (S, Msb, K;) a garment, or piece of cloth, in the middle of which a woman cuts an opening for the head to be put through, and to which she puts arms [or sleeves], and the two openings of which [at the two sides] she sews up: (T, TA:) or a woman's garment which is worn above the قَمِيص: or, accord. to El-Hulwánee, one of which the opening for the head to pass through extends towards, or to, the bosom; whereas the قميص is one of which the slit is towards, or to, the shoulder-joint; but this [says Mtr] I find not in the lexicons: (Mgh:) a small garment which a young girl wears in her house, or chamber, or tent: (TA:) as meaning a woman's دِرْع, it is masc., (Lh, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) only; (Lh;) or sometimes fem.: (TA:) pl. أَدْرَاعٌ. (S, K.) [See a verse cited voce مِجْوَلٌ.]

دَرَعٌ Whiteness in the breast of a sheep, or goat, and in its نَحْر [or part where it is slaughtered, but وَنَحْرِهَا, in the K, is probably a mistranscription, for وَنَحْوِهَا, meaning and the like thereof, i. e., of the sheep, or goat], and blackness in the thigh. (Lth, K.) [See also 1; and see دُرْعَةٌ.]

لَيَالٍ دُرَعٌ: see أَدْرَعُ.

دَارِعٌ Having, or possessing, a دِرْع [or coat of mail]: (Mgh:) or a man having upon him a دِرْع; (S, K;) as though having, or possessing, a دِرْع; [being properly a possessive epithet] like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ. (S.) أَدْرَعُ, applied to a horse, and to a sheep or goat, Having a black head, the rest being white: (S, Msb, * K:) or, as some say, having a black head and neck, (Msb, TA,) the rest being white: (TA:) or having a white head and neck, the rest being black: (TA:) fem. دَرْعَآءُ: (S, Msb:) pl. دُرْعٌ: (S:) or دَرْعَآءُ signifies having what is termed دَرَعٌ [q. v.]; applied to a sheep or goat, (K,) and to a mare: (TA:) or a sheep or goat black in the body, and white in the head: or black in the neck and head, the rest of her being white: or, accord. to Az, a ewe having a black neck: or, accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed, sheep or goats differing in colour: or, accord. to ISh, black except in having the neck white: and red [or brown], but having the neck white: and also, having the head with the neck white: accord. to Az, the right explanation is that given by Az, meaning having the fore part black; being likened to the nights termed دُرَعٌ; or the latter are likened to the former: and hence, (TA,) b2: لَيْلَةٌ دَرْعَآءُ (tropical:) A night of which the moon rises at the dawn, (K,) or at the commencement of the dawn; the rest thereof being black, and dark. (TA.) And ↓ لَيَالٍ دُرَعٌ, (S, K,) said by AHát to have been heard by him only on the authority of AO, but so accord. to As and A 'Obeyd and AHeyth, (TA,) and دُرْعٌ; (K;) the former contr. to rule, for by rule it should be دُرْعٌ, its sing. being دَرْعَآءُ; (A 'Obeyd, S;) or, accord. to AHeyth, you say ثَلَاثٌ دُرَعٌ وَثَلَاثٌ ظُلَمٌ, and دُرَعٌ and ظُلَمٌ are pls. of ↓ دُرْعَةٌ and ظُلْمَةٌ, not of دَرْعَآءُ and ظَلْمَآءُ; and Az says that this is correct and regular; but IB says that دَرْعَآءُ has دُرَعٌ for its pl. for the purpose of assimilation to ظُلَمٌ in the saying ثَلَاثٌ ظُلَمٌ وَثَلَاثٌ دُرَعٌ, and that no other instance had been heard by him of a word of the measure فَعْلَآءُ having a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ; (TA;) (tropical:) Three nights of the month which follow those called البِيضُ; (As, S, K; *) namely, the sixteenth and seventeenth and eighteenth nights; (TA;) because of the blackness of their first parts, and the whiteness of the rest thereof: (S, K:) there is no difference in what As and Az and ISh say respecting them: but some say that they are the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth; because part of them is black and part of them white: [this, however, seems to have originated from a misunderstanding of an explanation running thus; three nights of the month which follow those called البِيض, which, meaning the latter, are the thirteenth &c.; for the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth are all white:] or, accord. to AO, اللَّيَالِى الدُّرَعُ signifies the nights of which the fore parts are black and the latter parts white, of the end of the month; and those of which the fore parts are white and the latter parts black, of the commencement of the month. (TA.) b3: أَدْرَعُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) One whose father is free, or an Arab, and whose mother is a slave; syn. هَجِينٌ; (K;) as also مُعَلْهَجٌ. (TA.)

مِدْرَعَةٌ A certain garment, [a tunic,] like that called ↓ دُرَّاعَةٌ, never of anything but wool, (Lth, K,) [and having sleeves; for] mention is made, in a trad., of a مدرعة narrow in the sleeve; wherefore the wearer, in performing the ablution termed وُضُوْء, put forth his arm from beneath the مدرعة, and so performed that ablution: (TA:) accord. to some, the ↓ درّاعة is a [garment of the kind called] جُبَّة, slit in the fore part; (TA;) [thus resembling a kind of جُبَّة worn by persons in Northern Africa, reaching to, or below, the knees, and having the two front edges sewed together from the bottom, or nearly so, to about the middle of the breast: it is said in the MA to be a wide vest or shirt; a large جُبَّة: and the مِدْرَعَة is there said to be a woollen دُرَّاعَة; a woollen tunic: El-Makreezee (cited by De Sacy in his “ Chrest. Arabe,” 2nd ed., vol. i., p. 125,) describes the ↓ دراّعة as a garment worn in Egypt particularly by Wezeers, slit in the fore part to near the head of the heart, with buttons and loops: Golius describes it as “ tunica gossipina, fere grossior; ” adding, “estque exterior tum virilis tum muliebris; ” as on the authority of J, who says nothing of the kind, and of the Loghat Neamet-Allah: and as epomis, seu amiculum quod humeris injicitur; on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof: J only says,] the ↓ مِدْرَع and مِدْرَعَة are one; and ↓ دُرَّاعَةٌ is sing. of, or signifies one of what are called, دَرَارِيعُ: (S:) the pl. of مدرعة is مَدَارِعُ. (MA.) A2: Also The [appendage called]

صُفَّة [q. v.] of a رَحْل [or camel's saddle], when the heads of the وَاسِطَة [or fore part (Az says the وَسَط, accord. to the TA,)] and the آخِرَة [or hinder part] appear from [above] it. (K.)

(T, S, K.) يَا ثَأْرَاتِ عُثْمَانَ, occurring in a trad., which is also related with the substitution of تَارَات for ثأرات, may be explained in the same manner; or it may mean O ye seekers of the blood-revenge of 'Othmán, aid me to obtain it; the prefixed noun طَالِبِى, or أَهْل, being understood.

(M, L) b3: and قَدَّ بِهِ الطَّرِيقُ, (so in a copy of the M,) or قَدَّتْهُ الطَّرِيقُ, (so in the L and TA,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (M, L, TA,) i. q. قَطَعَهُ (M) or قَطَعَتْهُ (L, TA) (tropical:) [The road cut him off, app. from his companions, or from the object of his journey: compare قَطَعَ بِهِ and قُطِعَ بِهِ]. b4: And قَدَّ الكَلَامَ, (M, L,) inf. n. as above, (M, L, K,) i. q. قَطَعَهُ (M, L, K *) and شَقَّهُ (M, L) [both of which explanations may here mean, as قَطَعَ الكَلَامَ generally does, (assumed tropical:) He cut short, or broke off, the speech; or ceased from speaking: or both may here mean, as قَطَعَ الكَلَامَ sometimes does, he articulated speech, or the speech: compare this latter rendering with an explanation of شَقَّقَ الكَلَامَ]. b5: [قَدَّهُ also signifies He cut it out, or shaped it, in any manner, whether lengthwise or otherwise; like قَتَّهُ: see this latter, and a verse cited as an ex. of its inf. n.: and see also a saying near the end of the first paragraph of art. فرى. Hence] قُدَّ فُلَانٌ قَدَّ السَّيْفِ [Such a one was shaped with the shaping of the sword] means (tropical:) such a one was made goodly, or beautiful, in respect of التَّقْطِيع [i. e. conformation, or proportion, &c., like as is the sword]. (S, O, L, TA.) [See also قَدٌّ, below.] b6: And قُدّ means also (assumed tropical:) He suffered a pain [app. what may be termed a cutting pain] in the belly, called قُدَاد. (M, L, K.) 2 قَدَّّ see 1, first sentence. b2: [Hence,] قدّد, (as implied in the L,) or قدّد اللَّحْمَ, (A, O, *) inf. n. تَقْدِيدٌ, (O, L,) He made قَدِيد [i. e. he cut flesh-meat into strips, or oblong pieces, and spread them in the sun, or salted them and spread them in the sun, to dry]. (L.) A2: قدّد عَلَيهِ, said of a garment, It fitted him, or suited him, in size and length. (L, from a trad.) 4 اقدّ عَلَيْهِ, said of food, (assumed tropical:) It occasioned him a pain in the belly, termed قُدَاد. (IKtt, TA.) 5 تَقَدَّّ see 7. b2: تقدّد said of a garment, or piece of cloth, It was, or became, much slit or rent. or ragged, or tattered, (O, K, TA,) and old and worn out. (TA.) b3: And, said of flesh-meat, quasi-pass. of 2, [i. e. It was, or became, cut into strips, or oblong pieces, and spread in the sun, or salted and spread in the sun, and so dried.]. (O.) b4: And, said of a company of men (قَوْمٌ), It became separated (S, M, O, L, K) into قِدَد [or parties, &c., pl. of قِدَّةٌ, q. v.]. (M, L.) b5: Also, said of a thing, (TA,) [perhaps from the same v. said of flesh-meat,] It was, or became, dry; or it dried, or dried up. (K, TA.) b6: And تقدّدت said of a she-camel, She became somewhat lean (O, K) after having been fat: (O:) or she became fat, (TA,) or began to become fat, after having been lean. (K, TA.) 7 انقدّ, (S, M, A, O, L, Msb, K,) and ↓ تقدّد, (M, L, K,) [but the latter app. has an intensive signification, or is said of a number of things,] the former said of a skin, and of a garment, or piece of cloth, (A,) not said of aught except some such thing as a bag for travelling-provisions and for goods or utensils &c., and such as clothing, (O,) It became cut in an elongated form; or lengthwise: (L, K:) or became slit, split, cloven, rent, or divided, lengthwise: (S, M, A, O, L, Msb, K:) or became cut off entirely: (M, L, K:) or became cut, or cut off. (TA.) 8 إِقْتَدَ3َ see 1, first sentence. b2: اقتدّ الأُمُورَ means (tropical:) He considered the affairs, forcasting their issues, or results, and discriminated them: (S, O, K:) or he devised the affairs, and considered what would be their issues, or results. (M.) 10 استقدّ (tropical:) It contained, or continued in one manner, or state. (Ibn-'Abbád, A, O, K,) لَهُ to him. (A.) And (assumed tropical:) It (an affair, TA) was, or became, uniform, or even in its tenour. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K, TA.) And استقدّت الإِبِلُ (assumed tropical:) The camels went on undeviatingly, in one course, way, or manner: (O, K:) so says AA. (O.) قَدْ is a noun and a particle: (S, O, Mughnee, K:) and as a noun it is used in two ways. (Mughnee, K.) b2: (I) It is a noun syn. with حَسْبُ; (S, O, Mughnee, K;) generally used indeclinably; (Mughnee, K;) thus accord. to the Basrees; with the د quiescent; (TA;) because resembling قَدْ the particle in respect of the letters composing it, and many other particles in respect of its form, (Mughnee, TA,) such as عَنْ and بَلْ &c.: (TA:) one says, قَدْ زَيْدٍ دِرْهَمٌ [The sufficiency of Zeyd (i. e. what is sufficient for Zeyd) is a dirhem], (Mughnee, K,) with the د quiescent; (Mughnee, * K, * TA;) and قَدِى (S, O) and قَدْنِى (S, O, Mughnee) [both] meaning حَسْبِى [My sufficiency (i. e. what is sufficient for me)]; (S, O;) the ن in قَدْنِى being inserted in order to preserve the quiescence [of the final letter of the noun] because this is the original characteristic of what they make indeclinable; (Mughnee;) but the insertion of the ن in this case is anomalous, for it is [by rule] only added in verbs, by way of precaution, [to prevent the confusion of the pronominal affix of the verb and that of the noun,] as in ضَرَبَنِى: (S, O:) [see, however, in the next sentence, an explanation of قَدْنِى accord. to which the ن is inserted regularly:] accord. to Yaakoob, using قَدْ in the sense of حَسْبُ, one says, مَا لَكَ عِنْدِى إِلَّا هٰذَا فَقَدْ i. e. فَقَطْ [There is nothing for thee with me, or nothing due to thee in my possession, except this, and it is a thing sufficient, or it is enough, فَقَطْ being held to signify properly فَحَسْبُ, but it is commonly used as meaning and no more]; and he asserts it [i. e. قَدْ] to be a substitute [for قَطْ]: (M:) and it is also used declinably; (Mughnee, K;) thus accord. to the Koofees; (TA;) but this is rare: (Mughnee:) one says قَدُ زَيْدٍ, making it marfooa, (Mughnee, K,) like as one says حَسْبُهُ; and قَدِى without ن [as mentioned above,] like as one says حَسْبِى. (Mughnee.) b3: (2) It is also a verbal noun, syn. with يَكْفِى: one says, قَدْ زَيْدًا دِرْهَمٌ [A dirhem suffices, or will suffice, Zeyd], and قَدْنِى دِرْهَمٌ [A dirhem suffices, or will suffice, me]; (Mughnee, K;) like as one says يَكْفِى زَيْدًا دِرْهَمٌ, and يَكْفِيْنِى دِرْهَمٌ. (Mughnee, K. *) A2: As a particle, it is used peculiarly with a verb, (Mughnee, K,) [i. e.] as such it is not preposed to anything except a verb, (S, O,) either a pret. or an aor. , (TA,) from which it is not separated unless by an oath, (Mughnee,) such as is perfectly inflected, enunciative, (Mughnee, K,) not an imperative, (TA,) affirmative, and free from anything that would render it mejzoom or man-soob, and from what is termed حَرْف تَنْفِيس [i. e.

سَوْفُ and its variants]: and it has six meanings. (Mughnee, K.) b2: (1) It denotes expectation: (M, Mughnee, K:) and when it is with an aor. , this is evident; (Mughnee;) one says قَدْ يَقْدَمُ الغَائِبُ, (Mughnee, K,) meaning It is expected that the absent will come: (TA:) and most affirm that it is thus used with a pret.: (Mughnee:) accord. to some, (M,) it is used in reply to the saying لَمَّا يَفْعَلْ [i. e. “ He has not yet done ” such a thing, which implies expectation that he would do it]; (S, M, O;) the reply being, قَدْفَعَلَ [Already he has done the thing]: (M:) and Kh asserts that it is used in reply to persons expecting information; (S, M, * O, Mughnee;) [for to such] you say, قَدْ مَاتَ فَلَانٌ [Already such a one has died]; but if one inform him who does not expect it, he does not say thus, but he says [merely] مَاتَ فُلَانٌ: (S, O:) thus some say قَدْ رَكِبَ الأَمِيرُ [Already the commander has mounted his horse] to him who expects his mounting: some, however, disallow that قَدْ is used to denote expectation with the pret. because the pret. denotes what is already past; and hence it appears that those who affirm it to be so used mean that the pret. denotes what was expected before the information: (Mughnee: [in which it is added, with some other observations, that, in the opinion of its author, it does not denote expectation even with the aor. ; because the saying يَقْدَمُ الغَئِبُ denotes expectation without قَدْ:]) MF says, What we have been orally taught by the sheykhs in ElAndalus is this, that it is a particle denoting the affirmation of truth, or certainty, when it occurs before a pret., and a particle denoting expectation when it occurs before a future. (TA.) b3: (2) It denotes the nearness of the past to the present: (O, Mughnee, K:) so in the saying قَدْ قَامَ زَيْدٌ [Zeyd has just, or just now, stood; a meaning often intended by saying merely, has stood]; (Mughnee, K;) for this phrase without قد may mean the near past and the remote past; (Mughnee;) and so in the saying of the muëdhdhin, قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ [The time of the rising to prayer has just come, or simply has come]: (O:) [and, when thus used, it is often immediately preceded by the pret. or aor. of the verb كَانَ; thus you say, كَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ He had just, or simply had, gone away; and يَكُونُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ He will, or shall, have just, or simply have gone away:] and accord. to the Basrees, except Akh, it must be either expressed or understood immediately before a pret. used as a denotative of state; as in [the saying in the Kur ii. 247,] وَمَا لَنَا أَلَّا نُقَاتِلُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ وَقَدْ أُخْرِجْنَا مِنْ دِيَارِنَا وَأَبْنَائِنَا [And what reason have we that we should not fight in the cause of God when we have been expelled from our abodes and our children?]; and in [the saying in the Kur iv. 92,] أَوْ جَاؤُوكُمْ حَصِرَتْ صُدُورُهُمْ أنْ يُقَاتِلُوكَمْ [Or who come to you, their bosoms being contracted so that they are incapable of fighting you, or their bosoms shrinking from fighting you]; but the Koofees and Akh says that this is not required, because of the frequent occurrence of the pret. as a denotative of state without قَدْ, and [because] the primary rule is that there should be no meaning, or making, anything to be understood, more especially in the case of that which is in frequent use: (Mughnee:) Sb [however] does not allow the use of the pret. as a denotative of state without قَدْ; and he makes حصرت صدورهم to be an imprecation [meaning may their bosoms become contracted]: (S in art. حصر; in which art. in the present work see more on this subject:) and the inceptive لَ is prefixed to it like of the saying, إِنَّ زَيْدًا لَقَدْ قَامَ [Verily Zeyd has just stood, or has stood]; because the primary rule is that it is to be prefixed to the noun, and it is prefixed to the aor. because it resembles the noun, and when the pret. denotes a time near to the present it resembles the aor. and therefore it is allowable to prefix it thereto. (Mughnee.) [See also the two sentences next after what is mentioned below as the sixth meaning.] b4: (3) It denotes rareness, or paucity; (Mughnee, K;) either of the act signified by the verb, (Mughnee,) as in [the saying], قَدْ يَصْدُقُ الكَذُوبُ [In some few instances the habitual liar speaks truth]; (Mughnee, K;) or of what is dependent upon that act, as in [the saying in the Kur xxiv. last verse,] قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَا

أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ [as though] meaning أَنَّ مَا هُمْ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ

أَقَلُّ مَعْلُومَاتِهِ [so that it should be rendered At least He knoweth that state of conduct and mind to which ye are conforming yourselves]: but some assert that in these exs. and the like thereof it denotes the affirmation of truth, or certainty; [as will be shown hereafter;] and that the denoting of rareness, or paucity, in the former ex. is not inferred from قَدْ, but from the saying الكَذُوبُ يَصْدُقٌ. (Mughnee.) b5: (4) It denotes frequency; (Mughnee, K;) [i. e.] sometimes (S, O) it is used as syn. with رُبَّمَا [as denoting frequency, as well as with رُبَّمَا in the contr. sense, mentioned in the next preceding sentence]: (S, M, O:) thus in the saying (S, M, O, Mughnee, K) of the Hudhalee, (M, Mughnee,) or 'Abeed Ibn-El-Abras, (IB, TA,) قَدْ أَتْرُكُ القِرْنَ مُصْفَرًّا أَنَامِلُهُ [Often I leave the antagonist having his fingers' ends become yellow]. (S, M, O, Mughnee, K.) b6: (5) It denotes the affirmation of truth, or certainty: thus in [the saying in the Kur xci. 9,] قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا [Verily, or certainly, or indeed, or really, he prospereth, or will prosper, who purifieth it; (namely, his soul;) each pret. here occupying the place of a mejzoom aor. ]: (Mughnee, K:) and thus accord. to some in [the saying in the Kur xxiv. last verse, of which another explanation has been given above,] قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ [Verily, or certainly, &c., He knoweth that state of conduct and mind to which ye are conforming yourselves]. (Mughnee.) b7: (6) It denotes negation, (Mughnee, K,) accord. to ISd, (Mughnee,) occupying the place of مَا, (M,) in the saying, قَدْ كُنْتَ فِى خَيْرٍ فَتَعْرِفَهُ, (M, Mughnee, K,) with تعرف mansoob, [as though meaning Thou wast not in prosperity, that thou shouldst know it,] (Mughnee, K,) heard from one of the chaste in speech: (M:) but this is strange. (Mughnee.) b8: [When it is used to denote the nearness of the past to the present, as appears to be indicated by the context in the O,] قَدْ may be separated from the verb by an oath; as in قَدْ وَاللّٰهِ أَحْسَنْتَ [Thou hast, by God, done well] and قَدْ لَعَمْرِى بِتُّ سَاهِرًا [I have, by my life, or by my religion, passed the night sleepless]. (O, Mughnee. [In the latter, this and what here next follows are mentioned before the explanations of the meanings of the particle; probably because the meaning in these cases can hardly be mistaken.]) And the verb may be suppressed after it, (M, * O, Mughnee,) when its meaning is apprehended, (O,) or because of an indication; (Mughnee;) as in the saying of En-Nábighah (M, O, Mughnee) Edh-Dhubyánee, (O,) أَفِدَ التَّرَحُّلُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ رِكَابَنَا لَمَّا تَزُلْ بِرِحَالِنَا وَكَأَنْ قَدِ [The time of departure has drawn near, though the camels that we ride have not left with our utensils and apparatus for travelling, but it is as though they had (left)]; meaning كَأَنْ قَدْ زَالَتْ. (M, O, Mughnee.) b9: If you make قَدْ an اِسْم [i. e. a subst. or a proper name], you characterize it by teshdeed: therefore you say, كَتَبْتُ قَدًّا حَسَنَةً [I wrote a beautiful قد]; and so you do in the case of كَىْ and هُوَ and لَوْ; because these words have no indication of what is deficient in them [supposing them to be originally of three radical letters], therefore it is requisite to add to the last letter of each what is of the same kind as it, and this is incorporated into it: but not in the case of ا; for in this case you add ء; thus if you name a man لَا, or مَا, and then add at the end of it ا, you make it ء; for you make the second ا movent, and ا when movent becomes ء: (S, O:) so says J, [and Sgh has followed him in the O,] and such is the opinion of Akh and of a number of the grammarians of El-Basrah [and of El-Koofeh (MF)], and F has quoted this passage in the B and left it uncontradicted: but IB says, (TA,) [and after him F in the K,] this is a mistake: that only is characterized by teshdeed of which the last letter is infirm: you say, for هُوَ, (IB, K,) used as the name of a man, (IB,) هُوٌّ, (IB, K,) and for لَوْ you say لَوٌّ, and for فِى you say فِىٌّ; (IB;) and such is characterized by teshdeed only in order that the word may not be reduced to one letter on account of the quiescence of the infirm letter [which would disappear] with tenween [as it does in دَمٌ and يَدٌ &c.]: (K:) but as to قَدْ, if you use it as a name, you say قَدٌ; (IB, K;) and for مَنْ you say مَنٌ, and for عَنْ you say عَنٌ; (K;) like يَدٌ (IB, K) and دَمٌ &c.: (K:) F, however, [following IB,] is wrong in calling J's statement a mistake; though the rule given by him [and IB] is generally preferred. (MF, TA.) قَدٌّ The skin of a lamb or kid: (M, A, L, Msb, K:) or [only] of a kid: (S, O, L:) or, accord. to IDrd, a small skin, but of what kind he does not say: (M, L:) pl. (of pauc., S) أَقُدٌّ and (of mult., S) قِدَادٌ (ISk, S, M, L, Msb, K) and [of pauc. also] أَقِدَّةٌ, which is extr. (M, L.) Hence the saying, ↓ فُلَانٌ مَا يَعْرِفُ القَدَّ مِنَ القِدِّ Such a one knows not the skin of a lamb, or kid, from the thong. (A.) And hence, (O, K,) it is said in a prov., (S, M, A, O,) مَا يَجْمَلُ قَدَّكَ إِلَى أَدِيمِكَ (S, M, A, O, K) What approximates thy skin of a lamb, or kid, to thy hide [of a full-grown beast]? meaning, accord. to Th, (assumed tropical:) what makes the great to be like the little? (M: [or the little to be like the great?]) or meaning what induces thee to make thy small affair [appear] great? (S:) or what approximates thy small [affair] to thy great? (O, K:) applied to him who transgresses his proper limit; (M, O, K;) and to him who compares the contemptible with the noble. (O, K.) b2: See also قِدٌّ, in two places.

A2: Also (assumed tropical:) The measure, quantity, size, or bulk, (M, L, Msb, K,) of a thing: (M, L:) (tropical:) the conformation, or proportion, syn. تَقْطِيع, (S, M, A, O, L, K,) of a thing, (M, L,) or of a young woman, (A,) or of a man: (K:) (tropical:) the stature, syn. قَامَة, (S, A, O, L, K,) of a man: (K:) (assumed tropical:) his justness of form, or symmetry: (M, L, K:) and (assumed tropical:) his figure, person, or whole body: (M, L:) pl. [of pauc.] أَقُدٌّ (M, L, K) and أَقِدَّةٌ, (K,) which is extr., (TA,) and [of mult.] قُدُودٌ (M, L, K) and قِدَادٌ. (K.) One says, هٰذَا عَلَى قَدِّ ذَاكَ (assumed tropical:) This is equal in measure, quantity, size, or bulk, to that; is like that. (Msb.) And شَىْءٌ حَسَنُ القَدِّ (assumed tropical:) A thing goodly, or beautiful, in respect of conformation, or proportion. (L.) And جَارِيَةٌ حَسَنَةُ القَدِّ (tropical:) A young woman goodly, or beautiful, in respect of stature, and of conformation, or proportion. (A.) And غُلَامٌ حَسَنُ القَدِّ (assumed tropical:) A young man goodly, or beautiful, in respect of justness of form, or symmetry, and in person, or the whole of his body. (M, L.) A3: See, again, قِدٌّ.

A4: By the phrase يَا وَيْلَ قَدٍّ, addressed to Mikdád, in a verse of Jereer, is meant يَا وَيْلَ مِقْدَادٍ [O, woe to thee Mikdád]; the poet restricting himself to some of the letters [of the name]: an instance [more obviously] of a similar kind is سَلَّام used by El-Hoteiäh for سُلَيْمَان. (O.) قُدٌّ A certain marine fish, (O, K,) the eating of which is said to increase [the faculty of] الجِمَاع. (O.) قِدٌّ A thing that is مَقْدُود [i. e. cut in an elongated form, &c.]. (M, L.) b2: [And hence] A thong cut from an untanned skin, (S, M, * A, O, * L, Msb, K,) with which sandals or shoes are sewed, (M, * L, Msb,) and with which a captive is bound; (A;) pl. أَقُدٌّ: (S, O, L:) and [as a coll. gen. n.] thongs, cut from an untanned skin, with which camels' saddles and [the vehicles called]

مَحَامِل are bound: (M, L:) and ↓ قِدَّةٌ [of which the pl. is قِدَدٌ] is a more special term, (S, O, L,) signifying a single thong of this kind. (K.) See an ex. voce قَدٌّ. b3: And (hence, L) A whip; (O, L, K;) as also ↓ قَدٌّ. (K.) Thus in the trad., لَقَابُ قَوْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ وَمَوْضِعُ قِدِّهِ فِى الجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا, (O, * L,) or ↓ قَدِّهِ, (K,) i. e. Verily the space that would be occupied by the bow of any one of you, and the place that would be occupied by his whip, in Paradise, are better than the present [sublunary] world and what is in it: or قِدّه may here have the meaning next following. (L.) b4: A sandal; because cut in an elongated form from the skin: (O, L:) or a sandal not stripped of the hair, in order that it may be more pliant. (IAar, O, L.) b5: And A vessel of skin. (S, O, K.) One says, مَا لَهُ قِدٌّ وَلَا قِحْفٌ He has not a vessel of skin nor a vessel of wood: (S, O, M:) or a skin nor a fragment of a drinking-cup or bowl. (M.) b6: شَدِيدُ القِدِّ occurs in a trad. as some relate it, meaning Having a strong bowstring: but accord. to others, it is ↓ شَدِيدُ القَدِّ, meaning strong in pulling the bow. (L.) قِدَّةٌ: see قِدٌّ. b2: Also A piece of a thing. (M, L.) b3: And hence, (M,) A party, division, sect, or distinct body or class, of men, holding some particular tenet, or body of tenets, creed, opinion, or opinions, (S, M, O, L, Msb, K,) accord. to some, (Msb,) of whom each has his own, (S, O, L, K,) or of which each has its own, (Msb,) erroneous opinion: (S, O, L, Msb, K:) pl. قِدَدٌ. (Msb.) Hence, كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا, (S, L, O, K,) in the Kur [lxxii. 11], (L, O,) said by the Jinn, (Fr, L,) We were parties, or sects, differing in their erroneous opinions, or in their desires: (Fr, O, L, K:) or separate [sects]; Muslims and not Muslims: (Zj:) or diverse, or discordant, or various, sects; Muslims and unbelievers. (Jel.) And one says, صَارَ القَوْمُ قِدَدًا The people became divided, or different, in their states, or conditions, and their desires, or erroneous opinions. (L.) قَدَادٌ The hedge-hog: b2: and The jerboa. (O, K.) قُدَادٌ A pain [app. what may be termed a cutting pain] in the belly. (S, M, O, L, K.) حَبَنًا وَقُدَادًا is a form of imprecation, meaning [May God inflict upon thee] dropsy, and a pain in the belly. (L.) قَدِيدٌ, (S, M, O, L, K,) or لَحْمٌ قَدِيدٌ, (Msb,) Flesh-meat cut into strips, or oblong pieces: (M, L, K:) or cut, (M,) or cut into oblong pieces, and spread, or spread in the sun, to dry: (M, L, K:) or salted, and dried in the sun: (L:) i. q. لَحْمٌ مُقَدَّدٌ: (S, O, L:) قَدِيدٌ is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ. (L.) b2: ثَوْبٌ قَدِيدٌ A garment, or piece of cloth, [slit, or rent, and] old and worn out. (S, O, L, K.) قُدَيْدٌ A small مِسْح [or garment of thick, or coarse, hair-cloth], (M, * K, * TA,) such as is worn by persons of low condition.

بُلْغَارُ:
بالضم، والغين معجمة: مدينة الصقالبة ضاربة في الشمال، شديدة البرد لا يكاد الثلج يقلع عن أرضها صيفا ولا شتاء وقلّ ما يرى أهلها أرضا ناشفة، وبناؤهم بالخشب وحده، وهو أن يركبوا عودا فوق عود ويسمّروها بأوتاد من خشب أيضا محكمة، والفواكه والخيرات بأرضهم لا تنجب، وبين إتل مدينة الخزر وبلغار على طريق المفاوز نحو شهر، ويصعد إليها في نهر إتل نحو شهرين وفي الحدور نحو عشرين يوما، ومن بلغار إلى أول حدّ الروم نحو عشر مراحل، ومنها إلى كويابة مدينة الروس عشرون يوما، ومن بلغار
إلى بشجرد خمس وعشرون مرحلة، وكان ملك بلغار وأهلها قد أسلموا في أيام المقتدر بالله وأرسلوا إلى بغداد رسولا يعرّفون المقتدر ذلك ويسألونه إنفاذ من يعلّمهم الصلوات والشرائع، لكن لم أقف على السبب في إسلامهم. وقرأت رسالة عملها أحمد بن فضلان بن العباس بن راشد بن حمّاد مولى محمد بن سليمان رسول المقتدر بالله إلى ملك الصقالبة ذكر فيها ما شاهده منذ انفصل من بغداد إلى أن عاد إليها، قال فيها: لما وصل كتاب ألمس بن شلكى بلطوار ملك الصقالبة إلى أمير المؤمنين المقتدر بالله يسأله فيه أن يبعث إليه من يفقّهه في الدين ويعرّفه شرائع الإسلام ويبني له مسجدا وينصب له منبرا ليقيم عليه الدعوة في جميع بلده وأقطار مملكته ويسأله بناء حصن يتحصّن فيه من الملوك المخالفين له، فأجيب إلى ذلك، وكان السفير له نذير الحزمي، فبدأت أنا بقراءة الكتاب عليه وتسليم ما أهدي إليه والأشراف من الفقهاء والمعلّمين، وكان الرسول من جهة السلطان سوسن الرّسّي مولى نذير الحزمي، قال:
فرحلنا من مدينة السلام لإحدى عشرة ليلة خلت من صفر سنة 309، ثم ذكر ما مرّ له في الطريق إلى خوارزم ثم منها إلى بلاد الصقالبة ما يطول شرحه، ثم قال:
فلما كنّا من ملك الصقالبة وهو الذي قصدنا له على مسيرة يوم وليلة وجّه لاستقبالنا الملوك الأربعة الذين تحت يديه وإخوته وأولاده، فاستقبلونا ومعهم الخبز واللحم والجاورس، وساروا معنا، فلما صرنا منه على فرسخين تلقّانا هو بنفسه فلما رآنا نزل فخرّ ساجدا شكرا لله، وكان في كمّه دراهم فنثرها علينا ونصب لنا قبابا فنزلناها، وكان وصولنا إليه يوم الأحد لاثنتي عشرة ليلة خلت من المحرم سنة 310، وكانت المسافة من الجرجانية، وهي مدينة خوارزم، سبعين يوما، فأقمنا إلى يوم الأربعاء في القباب التي ضربت لنا حتى اجتمع ملوك أرضه وخواصه ليسمعوا قراءة الكتاب، فلما كان يوم الخميس نشرنا المطرّدين الذين كانوا معنا وأسرجنا الدّابّة بالسرج الموجّه إليه وألبسناه السواد وعممناه وأخرجت كتاب الخليفة فقرأته وهو قائم على قدميه ثم قرأت كتاب الوزير حامد بن العباس وهو قائم أيضا، وكان بدينا، فنثر أصحابه علينا الدّراهم، وأخرجنا الهدايا وعرضناها عليه ثم خلعنا على امرأته وكانت جالسة إلى جانبه، وهذه سنتهم ودأبهم، ثم وجّه إلينا فحضرنا قبته وعنده الملوك عن يمينه وأمرنا أن نجلس عن يساره وأولاده جلوس بين يديه وهو وحده على سرير مغشّى بالديباج الرومي، فدعا بالمائدة فقدّمت إليه وعليها لحم مشوي، فابتدأ الملك وأخذ سكينا وقطع لقمة فأكلها وثانية وثالثة ثم قطع قطعة فدفعها إلى سوسن الرسول فلما تناولها جاءته مائدة صغيرة فجعلت بين يديه، وكذلك رسمهم لا يمدّ أحد يده إلى أكل حتى يناوله الملك فإذا تناولها جاءته مائدة ثم قطع قطعة وناولها الملك الذي عن يمينه فجاءته مائدة، ثم ناول الملك الثاني فجاءته مائدة وكذلك حتى قدّم إلى كل واحد من الذين بين يديه مائدة، وأكل كل واحد منا من مائدة لا يشاركه فيها أحد ولا يتناول من مائدة غيره شيئا، فإذا فرغ من الأكل حمل كلّ واحد منا ما بقي على مائدته إلى منزله، فلما فرغنا دعا بشراب العسل وهم يسمونه السجو فشرب وشربنا. وقد كان يخطب له قبل قدومنا: اللهم أصلح الملك بلطوار ملك بلغار، فقلت له: إن الله هو الملك ولا يجوز أن يخطب بهذا لأحد سيما على المنابر، وهذا مولاك أمير المؤمنين قد وصى لنفسه أن يقال على منابره في الشرق والغرب: اللهم أصلح عبدك وخليفتك جعفرا الإمام
المقتدر بالله أمير المؤمنين، فقال: كيف يجوز أن يقال؟ فقلت: يذكر اسمك واسم أبيك، فقال: إنّ أبي كان كافرا وأنا أيضا ما أحبّ أن يذكر اسمي إذ كان الذي سمّاني به كافرا، ولكن ما اسم مولاي أمير المؤمنين؟ فقلت: جعفر، قال: فيجوز أن أتسمّى باسمه؟ قلت: نعم، فقال: قد جعلت اسمي جعفرا واسم أبي عبد الله، وتقدم إلى الخطيب بذلك، فكان يخطب: اللهم أصلح عبدك جعفر بن عبد الله أمير بلغار مولى أمير المؤمنين، قال: ورأيت في بلده من العجائب ما لا أحصيها كثرة، من ذلك أن أول ليلة بتناها في بلده رأيت قبل مغيب الشمس بساعة أفق السماء وقد احمرّ احمرارا شديدا وسمعت في الجوّ أصواتا عالية وهمهمة، فرفعت رأسي فإذا غيم أحمر مثل النار قريب منّي، فإذا تلك الهمهمة والأصوات منه وإذا فيه أمثال الناس والدوابّ وإذا في أيدي الأشباح التي فيه قسيّ ورماح وسيوف، وأتبيّنها وأتخيّلها وإذا قطعة أخرى مثلها أرى فيها رجالا أيضا وسلاحا ودوابّ، فأقبلت هذه القطعة على هذه كما تحمل الكتيبة على الكتيبة، ففزعنا من هذه وأقبلنا على التضرّع والدعاء وأهل البلد يضحكون منا ويتعجبون من فعلنا، قال: وكنا ننظر إلى القطعة تحمل على القطعة فتختلطان جميعا ساعة ثم تفترقان، فما زال الأمر كذلك إلى قطعة من الليل ثم غابتا، فسألنا الملك عن ذلك فزعم أن أجداده كانوا يقولون هؤلاء من مؤمني الجنّ وكفّارهم يقتتلون كل عشية، وأنهم ما عدموا هذا منذ كانوا في كل ليلة. قال: ودخلت أنا وخيّاط كان للملك من أهل بغداد قبّتي لنتحدّث، فتحدّثنا بمقدار ما يقر الإنسان نصف ساعة ونحن ننتظر أذان العشاء، فإذا بالأذان فخرجنا من القبّة وقد طلع الفجر، فقلت للمؤذّن: أي شيء أذّنت؟ قال: الفجر، قلت: فعشاء الأخيرة؟ قال: نصلّيها مع المغرب، قلت: فالليل؟
قال: كما ترى وقد كان أقصر من هذا وقد أخذ الآن في الطول، وذكر أنه منذ شهر ما نام الليل خوفا من أن تفوته صلاة الصبح، وذلك أن الإنسان يجعل القدر على النار وقت المغرب ثم يصلّي الغداة وما آن لها أن تنضج، قال: ورأيت النهار عندهم طويلا جدّا، وإذا أنه يطول عندهم مدّة من السنة ويقصر الليل، ثم يطول الليل ويقصر النهار، فلما كانت الليلة الثانية جلست فلم أر فيها من الكواكب إلّا عددا يسيرا ظننت أنها فوق الخمسة عشر كوكبا متفرّقة، وإذا الشّفق الأحمر الذي قبل المغرب لا يغيب بتّة، وإذا الليل قليل الظلمة يعرف الرجل الرجل فيه من أكثر من غلوة سهم، قال: والقمر إنما يطلع في أرجاء السماء ساعة ثم يطلع الفجر فيغيب القمر، قال: وحدّثني الملك أن وراء بلده بمسيرة ثلاثة أشهر قوما يقال لهم ويسو، الليل عندهم أقلّ من ساعة، قال: ورأيت البلد عند طلوع الشمس يحمر كلّ شيء فيه من الأرض والجبال، وكل شيء ينظر الإنسان إليه حين تطلع الشمس كأنها غمامة كبرى فلا تزال الحمرة كذلك حتى تتكبّد السماء. وعرّفني أهل البلد أنه إذا كان الشتاء عاد الليل في طول النهار وعاد النهار في قصر الليل، حتى إنّ الرجل منا ليخرج إلى نهر يقال له إتل بيننا وبينه أقل من مسافة فرسخ وقت الفجر فلا يبلغه إلى العتمة إلى وقت طلوع الكواكب كلّها حتى تطبق السماء، ورأيتهم يتبرّكون بعواء الكلب جدّا ويقولون: تأتي عليهم سنة خصب وبركة وسلامة.
ورأيت الحيّات عندهم كثيرة حتى إنّ الغصن من الشجر ليلتفّ عليه عشر منها وأكثر، ولا يقتلونها ولا
تؤذيهم، ولهم تفاح أخضر شديد الحموضة جدّا، تأكله الجواري فيسمّن، وليس في بلدهم اكثر من شجر البندق، ورأيت منه غياضا تكون أربعين فرسخا في مثلها، قال: ورأيت لهم شجرا لا أدري ما هو، مفرط الطول وساقه أجرد من الورق ورؤوسه كرءوس النخل، له خوص دقاق إلّا أنه مجتمع، يعمدون إلى موضع من ساق هذه الشجرة يعرفونه فيثقبونه ويجعلون تحته إناء يجري إليه من ذلك الثّقب ماء أطيب من العسل، وإن أكثر الإنسان من شربه أسكره كما تسكر الخمر، وأكثر أكلهم الجاورس ولحم الخيل على أن الحنطة والشعير كثير في بلادهم، وكل من زرع شيئا أخذه لنفسه ليس للملك فيه حق غير أنهم يؤدّون إليه من كل بيت جلد ثور، وإذا أمر سريّة على بعض البلدان بالغارة كان له معهم حصّة. وليس عندهم شيء من الأدهان غير دهن السمك، فإنهم يقيمونه مقام الزيت والشيرج، فهم كانوا لذلك زفرين، وكلّهم يلبسون القلانس، وإذا ركب الملك ركب وحده بغير غلام ولا أحد معه، فإذا اجتاز في السوق لم يبق أحد إلّا قام وأخذ قلنسوته عن رأسه وجعلها تحت إبطه، فإذا جاوزهم ردوا قلانسهم فوق رؤوسهم، وكذلك كل من يدخل على الملك من صغير وكبير حتى أولاده وإخوته ساعة يقع نظرهم عليه يأخذون قلانسهم فيجعلونها تحت آباطهم ثم يومئون إليه برؤوسهم ويجلسون ثم يقومون حتى يأمرهم بالجلوس. وكلّ من جلس بين يديه فإنما يجلس باركا ولا يخرج قلنسوته ولا يظهرها حتى يخرج من بين يديه فيلبسها عند ذلك. والصواعق في بلادهم كثيرة جدا، وإذا وقعت الصاعقة في دار أحدهم لم يقربوه ويتركونه حتى يتلفه الزمان ويقولون: هذا موضع مغضوب عليه، وإذا رأوا رجلا له حركة ومعرفة بالأشياء قالوا: هذا حقه أن يخدم ربنا، فأخذوه وجعلوا في عنقه حبلا وعلّقوه في شجرة حتى يتقطع. وإذا كانوا يسيرون في طريق وأراد أحدهم البول فبال وعليه سلاحه انتهبوه وأخذوا سلاحه وجميع ما معه، ومن حطّ عنه سلاحه وجعله ناحية لم يتعرضوا له، وهذه سنتهم، وينزل الرجال والنساء النهر فيغتسلون جميعا عراة لا يستتر بعضهم من بعض ولا يزنون بوجه ولا سبب، ومن زنى منهم كائنا من كان ضربوا له أربع سكك وشدّوا يديه ورجليه إليها وقطّعوا بالفأس من رقبته إلى فخذه، وكذلك يفعلــون بالمرأة، ثم يعلّق كلّ قطعة منه ومنها على شجرة، قال: ولقد اجتهدت أن تستتر النساء من الرجال في السباحة فما استوى لي ذلك، ويقتلون السارق كما يقتلون الزاني، ولهم أخبار اقتصرنا منها على هذا.
