trad., مَنْ بَطَّأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ Him whom his evil deeds keep, or hold, back, or put back, or backward, his nobility of lineage will not profit, [or advance, or put forward,] in the life to come, or in the world to come. (

بُطْآنَ ذَا خُرُوجًا, and بَطْآنَ, (
S,
K,) but the latter is
extr., (
TA,)
i. q. ذَا خُرُوجًا ↓ بَطُؤَ [Slow, or very slow, or how slow, is this in coming forth!]; (
S,
K;) the fet-hah in [the last syllable of] بَطُؤَ is transferred to the ن of بُطْآن, and the dammeh of the ط [in the former] to the ب [in the latter]; the meaning being one of wonder; i. e. مَا أَبْطَأَهُ. (
S,
TA.) [بطآن is an
enunciative placed before its
inchoative: and, being originally بَطُؤَ, it may be a simple
enunciative, or an
enunciative having an intensive signification; as that verb signifies simply “ it was slow,” &c., and may be used as co-ordinate to رَمُوَ, meaning “ excellent is he in his shooting! ” &c., and قَضُوَ
“ excellent is he in his judging! ” &c.: or it may be equivalent to مَا أَبْطَأَ, as it is said to be in the
S. See also سَرْعَانَ.]

Meyd, &c.) المَبْطَأُ for المَبْدَأُ is mentioned by
AO. (
TA on the letter ط.)
