M,) or أُؤُوفٌ, (
TA,) The country, or countries, had therein what is termed آفَة [i. e. a blight or blast or the like, or a pest or plague or the like]. (
M,
TA.) and إِيفَ الطَّعَامُ, (Ibn Buzurj,
T,) or الزَّرْعُ, (
K,) or البَّشْىءُ, with the verb in the
pass. form, (
Msb,) like قِيلَ, (
K,) The wheat, or seed-produce, or thing, became affected, or smitten, with what is termed آفَة [i. e. a blight, blast, taint, canker, or the like]. (
T,
K,

TA,) and إِيفُوا, (

T,
K, * [in which is a strange omission, of the words سَاكِنٌ بَيَّنَهُ اللَّفْظُ لَا الخَطُّ as in the
T, or سَاكِنَةٌ يُبَيِّنُهَا الخ as in the
TA,]
TA,) The people became affected, or smitten, with what is termed آفَة [i. e. a pest or plague or the like]. (

Lth says, in this case one says إِفُوا, and in one
dial. إِيفُوا: (
T:) in several copies of his book, in one
dial. أُفِّفُوا, with two distinct ف s, of which the former is with teshdeed: but in some copies as mentioned just before. (

K “ or,”]) an accident that mars, or corrupts, that which it affects, or befalls, or smites: (
T,
M,
O,
Msb,
K:)
pl. آفَاتٌ. (
Msb,
K.) [See 1.] One says, آفَهُ الظَّرْفِ الصَّلَفُ وَ آفَةُ العِلْمِ النِّسعيَانُ [The bane of elegance in manners, or the like, is the overpassing the due limits therein, and arrogating to oneself superiority therein, through pride; and the bane of science is forgetfulness]. (
T.) And it is said in a
trad., آفَةُ الحَدِيثِ الكَذِبُ وَ آفَةُ العِلْمِ النِّسْيَانُ [The bane of discourse is lying; and the bane of science is forgetfulness]. (
TA.) And hence the saying, لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ آفَةٌ وَ لِلْعِلْم آفَاتٌ [To everything there is a bane; and to science there are banes]. (
