ركض
1 رَكَضَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. رَكْضٌ, He moved, (
S,
A,
K,) or struck with, (
Msb,) his leg, or foot: (
S,
A,
Msb,
K:) or he struck and hit therewith, like as one strikes and hits therewith a beast. (
IAth.) Hence, (
S,
A,
K,) the phrase in the
Kur [xxxviii. 41], (
S,) اُرْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ [Strike thou the ground with thy foot]: (
S,
A,
K:) or strike thou, and tread, the ground with thy foot. (
Sgh.) Yousay also, رَكَضَ الرَّجُلُ (
tropical:) The man struck the ground with his foot: and رَكَضَتِ الخَيْلُ (
tropical:) The horses struck the ground with their hoofs: and جَآءَتِ الخَيْلُ رَكْضًا (
tropical:) [The horses came striking the ground with their hoofs]: and رَكَضَتِ الجُنْدَبُ الرَّمْضَآءَ بِكُرَاعَيْهَا (
tropical:) [The locusts termed جندب struck the vehemently-hot ground with their two legs]: and تَرَكْتُهُ يَرْكُضُ بِرِجْلِهِ لِلْمَوْتِ (
tropical:) [I left him striking the ground with his foot previously to death: see also 8]. (
A.) [The above-mentioned phrases marked as
tropical are so marked on the authority of the A: but the reason of their being so I do not see.]
b2: They also said, sometimes, رَكَضَ الطَّائِرُ, meaning (assumed
tropical:) The bird moved his wings in flying: (
S:) the
inf. n., رَكْضٌ, signifying (
tropical:) the act of moving the wing: (
K,
TA:) and الطَّائرُ يَرْكُضُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ (
tropical:) The bird moves his wings, and puts them back against his body: (
A,
TA:) or the former of these two phrases means (assumed
tropical:) the bird was quick, or swift, in his flying. (
TA.)
b3: رَكْضٌ also signifies The act of impelling;
syn. دَفْعٌ: and the urging a horse to run, (
A,
K,
TA,) [by striking] with his foot or leg: (
TA:) the striking a beast with one's feet or legs, to urge him: (
Mgh:) or putting him in motion, whether he go on or not. (
As.) You say, رَكَضْتُ الفَرَسَ بِرِجْلِى I urged the horse to run, with my foot or leg. (

aor. ـُ
inf. n. رَكْضٌ, He struck the sides of the beast with his foot or leg. (
TA.) And رَكَضَ الدَّابَّةَ بِرِجْلٍ, and بِرِجْلَيْنِ, He struck the beast to urge it with a foot or leg, and with two feet or legs. (
A.)
b4: And from frequency of usage of the phrase رَكَضْتُ الفَرَسَ, originated the saying رَكَضَ الفَرَسُ, (
Az, *
S,
Mgh,
Msb,) meaning (
tropical:) The horse ran: (
S,
Mgh: *) which some disallow; but without reason, since it has been transmitted by a good authority: (
Msb:) it is disallowed by
As: (
TA:) [and
J says,] the correct phrase is رُكِضَ الفَرَسُ: (
S:) or you say, رُكِضَ الفَرَسُ فَرَكَضَ هُوَ, meaning [The horse was urged to run,] (assumed
tropical:) and he ran: (
K:) and رَكْضٌ signifies (assumed
tropical:) the act of running: (
K, in another place in this art.:) and (assumed
tropical:) the act of fleeing: whence, [in the
Kur xxi. 12], إِذَا هُمْ مِنْهَا يَرْكُضُونَ (
K) (assumed
tropical:) lo, they fled from it, from punishment: (
Zj:) or (assumed
tropical:) were routed, and fled from it: (
Fr:) or they ran from it: (
Mgh:) [for] رَكَضَ الرَّجُلُ signifies (assumed
tropical:) The man fled, and (assumed
tropical:) ran. (
ISh.) [Hence,] رَكَضَتِ النُّجُومُ فِى السَّمَآءِ (
tropical:) The stars moved along in the sky. (
A,
TA.) [And hence,] رَكْضٌ also signifies (assumed
tropical:) A man's going along by both his legs together. (

S,
A,
Msb) (
tropical:) The camel struck him with his kind leg: (
S,
Msb:) like as you say, رَمَحَهُ الفَرَسُ: (
A,
Msb: *) but you should not say, [when a camel is the
agent,] رَمَحَهُ. (Yaakoob,

tropical:) He struck the ground, and the garment, or piece of cloth, with his foot or leg. (

رَكْضَةً An impulse: a motion: (
K:) [
pl. رَكَضَاتٌ: see an
ex. voce رَفَضَاتٌ.] Hence, (

A,
TA.) تَرْكَضَى and تِرْكِضَآءُ, the former incorrectly written in the
K تَرْكَضَآءُ, [or, in some copies, تَرْكُضَآءُ, and the latter in one copy written تَرْكِضَآءُ,] are there said to be used as examples by the grammarians, but not explained; and the author offers his opinion that they are
syn. with رَكْضٌ: (
TA:) but this is a strange defect: for
AHei explains them as signifying A certain gait, in which is a proud and self-conceited air, with an affected inclining of the body from side to side: and he asserts the ت to be augmentative: (
MF,
TA:) and in the
L they are
expl. as signifying a particular kind of gait: or meaning as above. (
