1 أَفَكَهُ,
aor. ـِ
inf. n. أَفْكٌ, (with fet-h,
S,
TA, its only form,

S,
K;) and he turned him, or it, (i. e., anything,
Msb,) away, or back; (
S,
Msb,
K;) عَنِ الشَّىْءِ [from the thing]; (
S;) or عَنْ وَجْهِهِ [from his, or its, mode, or manner, of being, &c.]: (

Kur xlvi. 21, أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَأْفِكَنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا Hast thou come to us to turn us away, or back, from our gods? (
Bd:) or he turned him away, or back, by lying: (
TA:) or he changed, or perverted, his judgment, or opinion: (
K:) or he deceived him, or beguiled him, and so turned him away, or back: and simply he deceived him, or beguiled him: and أُفِكَ signifies he was turned from his judgment, or opinion, by deceit, or guile. (

Kur [li. 9], يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ
أُفِكَ, i. e., He will be turned away from it (namely, the truth,) who is turned away in the foreknowledge of God: (
TA:) or,
accord. to Mujáhid, يُؤْفَنُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِنَ [he will be weak in intellect and judgment so as to be thereby turned away from it who is weak in intellect and judgment]. (
S,
TA.) You say also, أُفِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ الخَيْرِ The man was turned away, or back, from good, or prosperity. (
Sh.) And أَفَكَهُ, (
K,
TA,)
inf. n. as above, (

K,
TA,) and turned him away, or back, from it. (
TA.)

masc. and
fem.: (
Msb:) the
