خصف
1 خَصْفٌ [
inf. n. of خَصَفَ] signifies The act of adjoining, and putting together. (
TA.)
b2: Hence, (
TA,) خَصَفَ, (
S,
Msb,
K,
TA,)
aor. ـِ (
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. خَصْفٌ, (
Msb,) He sewed a sole (
S,
K,
TA) [so as to make it double], covering, or facing, one piece with another: (
TA:) or he patched a sole; mended it by sewing on another piece. (
Msb.) And He made anything double, putting one piece upon another; he faced it. (
TA.)
b3: And [hence,] خَصَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ, (
JK,) or خَصَفَ الوَرَقَ عَلَى بَدَنِهِ, (
S, *
K,)
aor. as above, (
S,
TA,) and so the
inf. n.; (
TA;) and ↓ اختصف; (
S,
K;) and ↓ اخصف; (
K;) and ↓ خصّف,
inf. n. تَخْصِيفٌ; (
TA;) (
tropical:) He stuck [or sewed] the leaves together, one to another, (
S,
K, *
TA,) and covered his person with them, leaf by leaf, (
K,) to conceal therewith his pudenda: (
S,
TA:) or the first phrase, (
JK,) as also ↓ اختصف, (
Lth,
JK,) signifies he (a naked man) put upon his pudenda wide leaves, (
Lth,
JK,) or the like: (
Lth:) you say, بِكَذَا ↓ اختصف [he covered his pudenda with such a thing]. (
Lth,
JK.) It is said in the
Kur [vii. 21 and xx. 119], وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ; and ↓ يَخِصِّفَانِ, originally يَخْتَصِفَانِ, by some pronounced ↓ يَخَصِّفَانِ, (
S,
TA,) and by some, ↓ يَخْصِّفَانِ, with two quiescent letters together; (
TA; [but this appears to be incorrect; see 8 in art. خصم;]) and ↓ يُخْصِفَانِ, from أَخْصَفَ; and ↓ يُخَصِّفَانِ, from خَصَّفَ; (
Ksh and
Bd in vii. 21, and
TA;) thus
accord. to different readings; i. e. (
tropical:) And they betook themselves to sticking [or sewing] together, one to another, of the leaves of Paradise, to conceal therewith their pudenda. (
S,
TA.) And hence, also, the saying, in a
trad., إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الحَمَّامَ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالنَّشِيرِ
↓ وَلَا يُخَصِّفْ, i. e. (
tropical:) [When any one of you enters the bath,] let him take the waist-wrapper, and not put his hand upon his pudendum: and like this in meaning is تخصّفه [
app. a mistranscription for ↓ يَتَخَصَّفُ, or ↓ يَخِصِّفُ or the like, for يَخْتَصِفُ: if not, it must be ↓ تَخَصَّفَهُ, meaning he put his hand upon it]. (
TA.)
b4: [Hence also the saying,] فَمَا زَالُوا يَخْصِفُونَ أَخْفَافَ المَطِىِّ بِحَوَافِرِ الخَيْلِ حَتَّى لِحِقُوهُمْ (
tropical:) And they ceased not to make the prints of the feet of the camels to be covered by the prints of the hoofs of the horses [until they overtook them]; as though they sewed these upon the others, like as one sews a sole by covering, or facing, one piece with another. (
TA.)
b5: And خُصِفَتِ الكَتِيبَةُ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا بِخَيْلٍ, i. e. (assumed

Az,
S:) or, as some say, (
S,) this
epithet signifies one that brings forth a year and a month, (
S, and so in some copies of the
K,) in [some of] the copies of the
K a year and two months, which is wrong, (
TA,) after the time when she was covered: (
S,
K:) جَرُورٌ is applied to one that brings forth a year and two months after that time: (

TA:) or ↓ the former
epithet signifies one that brings forth on the completion of the year: (

pl. ↓ خَصَفٌ, (

Lth says that a certain Tubba' [a king of El-Yemen] clothed the House [i. e. the Kaabeh] with ↓ خَصَف, meaning very thick cloths; so called as being likened to the خَصَف of woven palm-leaves: but

K,) having the colour of iron (
S,
K) and another colour: (
K:) or so called because of the rust of the iron &c.: (
L:) or the former phrase means, as some say, followed by horsemen; and therefore the
epithet is without ة, because it has the signification of a
pass. part. n.: for were it to denote the colour of the iron, they had said خَصِيفَةٌ, because it would in this latter case have the signification of an
act. part. n. (
S.)
