being perhaps understood; as in the following phrase;] سَجَعَ ذٰلِكَ المَسْجَعَ He pursued, or aimed at, that object of pursuit or aim; (

TA;) occurring in a
trad. (
TA.)
b2: And It was even and uniform, one part thereof being like another. (

Msb:) and صَوَّتَتْ: (

S) spoke, or uttered, [or composed,] (

K,
TA,) rhyming speech or language, (

K,
TA) like the فَوَاصِل of verse, without measure: as is said in a description of Sijistán, وَتَمْرُهَا وَ لِصُّهَا بَطَلْ مَاؤُهَا وَشَلْ وَ إِنْ قَلُّوا ضَاعُوا إِنْ كَثُرَ الجَيْشُ بِهَا جَاعُوا دَقَلْ [Its water is such as scantily distils, in interrupted drops, from mountains or rocks, and its robber is a man of courage, and its dates are of the worst kind: if the army be numerous in it, they hunger; and if they be few, they perish]: so says
Lth. (
TA.) You say also, سَجَعَ بِالشَّىْءِ, meaning (
tropical:) He uttered the thing in the manner above described. (
TA.) [See also سَجْعٌ, below.]
2 سَجَّعَ see the preceding paragraph.
سَجْعٌ; [originally
inf. n. of سَجَعَ,
q. v.;] (
S,
Msb,
K, &c.;) or, as some say, ↓ سِجْعٌ, but the former is that which commonly obtains, the latter being said to be a
subst. like ذِبْحٌ meaning “ what is slaughtered,” unknown, however, in the lexicons, and probably one of the instances of the elicitations of the foreigners, (
MF,
TA,) the object of him who says that it is سِجْعٌ being
app. to make a distinction between the simple
subst. and the
inf. n., as in the case of the simple
subst. and the
inf. n. of سَجَعَ said of the pigeon; [see سَجَعَتِ الحَمَامَةُ;] (
TA;) and ↓ أُسْجُوعَةٌ; (
S, *
K;) (
tropical:) Rhyming speech or language; (
S,
K,
TA;) [i. e. rhyming prose; i. e.] speech, or language, having فَوَاصِل like the rhymes of verse, without being measured; so called as being likened to the سَجْع of the pigeon; (
Msb;) or because of its uniformity, (
TA,) and the mutual resemblance and agreement of the words which end its clauses: (
IJ,
TA:) or a consecution [of clauses] of speech or language, with one رَوِىّ [which is the principal, or only, rhyme-letter]: (
JM,
K:*) or it consists in the agreement of the endings of words [or clauses], in a certain order, like the agreement of the rhymes (قَوَافٍ) [of verses]: (
Mbr, in the “
Kámil; ”
TA:) each clause ends with a quiescent letter; and consists of at least two words: (
Kull p. 208:) [see an
ex. in the first paragraph of this art.:] you say also ↓ كَلَامٌ مُسَجَّعٌ (
S) and ↓ كَلَامٌ مَسْجُوعٌ, meaning the same as سَجْعٌ: (
TA:) the
pl. of سَجْعٌ is أَسْجَاعٌ (
S,
K) and ,
accord. to
IJ, سُجُوعٌ, but
ISd says, I know not whether he have related this from another or coined it, (
TA,) and أَسَاجِيعُ, (
S,) or this last is
pl. of ↓ أُسْجُوعَةٌ (
K) [and is also a
pl. pl., i. e.
pl. of أَسْجَاعٌ, like as أَزَاهِيرُ is
pl. of أَزْهَارٌ which is
pl. of زَهْرٌ, and many similar instances might be added, such instances being numerous
app. because أَفْعَالٌ is properly a measure of a
pl. of paucity].
السَّجْعُ المُطَرَّفُ is That [rhyming prose] in which the two words [that end two corresponding clauses] agree in the letter of the سَجْع but not in measure; as الرِّمَمْ and الأُمَمْ: and السَّجْعُ المُتَوَازِى is that in which the measure is observed in the two words as well as the letter of the سَجْع; as القَلَمْ and القَسَمْ. (
K T.) It is said in a
trad., that Mohammad forbade سَجْع in prayer: [but many of the forms of prayer which he himself prescribed, and many others commonly used by Muslims in every age to the present time, are سَجْع, and the
Kur-án is a composition of the same kind, though some do not allow this term to be applied to it, because سَجْع is a highly artificial style of prose-language, characterized by a kind of rhythm as well as rhyme, and it is obviously not proper to ascribe such artificial language to God, nor is it proper to use it in prayer, wherefore]
Az says that سَجْع is disapproved in prayer because it resembles the language of the diviners, or soothsayers, but that other kinds of rhyming styles are allowable in خُطَب and رَسَائِل. (
TA.) He is also related to have said, إِيَّاكُمْ وَ سَجْعَ الكُهَّانِ (
tropical:) [Avoid ye the rhyming prose of the diviners, or soothsayers]. (
TA.) One says also, ↓ بَيْنَهُمْ أُسْجُوعَةٌ [Between them is a discourse, or colloquy, oral or written, in rhyming prose]. (
S.) سِجْعٌ: see سَجَعَتِ الحَمَامَةُ:

سَاجِعٌ Pursuing [an even, uniform, course, or] a direct, or right, course, (
Az,
S,
K,
TA,) in going, or journeying, (
Az,
S,
TA,) [and] (
tropical:) in speech, &c. (
K,
TA.) Dhu-r-Rummeh says, قَطَعْتُ بِهَا أَرْضًا تَرَى وَجْهَ رَكْبِهَا
إِذَا مَا عَلَوْهَا مُكْفَأً غَيْرَ سَاجِعِ i. e. [I traversed, or have traversed, with her a land in which thou wouldst see the face of every one of the company of travellers riding over it, when they get upon it,] جَائِرًا غَيْرَ قَاصِدٍ [turning aside from the right course, (or rather turned aside, unless, which is not improbable, the right reading be مُكْفِئًا,) not direct], (
Az,
S,
TA,) or not direct towards one point: (
TA:) but in the O we find, as on the authority of
Az, غَيْرَ سَاجِعِ غير جَائِرٍ عَنِ القَصْدِ [which is evidenily a mistranscription; the right reading being غَيْرَ سَاجِعِ أَىْ جَائِرًا عَنِ القَصْدِ, or the like]. (
TA.)
b2: [Hence,] A face justly proportioned; [symmetrical;] well, or beautifully, formed. (
K.)

K,) without ة, (
TA,) [A pigeon continuing its cry uninterruptedly in one uniform way or manner; or calling, and prolonging its voice or cry, modulating it sweetly: or cooing: (see 1:) or] reiterating its voice or cry:
pl. [of the former or of both] سُجَّعٌ and [of the former] سَوَاجِعُ. (
K.)
b4: And نَاقَةٌ سَاجِعٌ A she-camel prolonging her yearning cry in one uniform manner: (
TA:) or quavering, and prolonging her voice, [in the copies of the
K مُطْرِبَة, but correctly مُطَرِّبَة,] in her yearning cry: (
K:) or tall; (
AA,
K;) but
Az says, I have not heard this on any authority beside that of
AA. (
TA.)
b5: [And hence,] سَاجِعٌ also signifies (
tropical:) [A rhyming-proser, or rhyming-prosaist;] one who speaks, or utters, [or composes,] سَجْع: and in like manner, [↓ سَجَّاعٌ (mentioned by Golius, and by Freytag as on the authority of the
K, in no copy of which do I find it,) meaning one who speaks, or utters, or composes, سَجْع much: and] ↓ سَجَّاعَةٌ [meaning one who does so very much: the three epithets being similar to رَاجِزٌ and رَجَّازٌ and رَجَّازَةٌ]. (
K,
TA.) أُسْجُوعَةٌ: see سَجْعٌ, in three places.
مَسْجَعٌ A place, or an object, [to which latter it is applied in a phrase mentioned in the second sentence of this art.,] of pursuit or aim;
syn. مَقْصِدٌ. (
K.) مُسَجَّعْ: see سَجْعٌ.
