8 فُلَانٌ يَشْتَرِعُ شِرْعَتَهُ [meaning Such a one originates, or embraces, or follows, his way of religion] is similar to the phrases يَفْتَطِرُ فِطْرَتَهُ and يَمْتَلُّ مِلَّتَهُ; from شِرْعَةُ الدِّينِ and فِطْرَتُهُ and مِلَّتُهُ. (
TA.) شَرْعٌ, originally an
inf. n.:
b2: then applied as a name for A manifest, a plain, or an open, track, or road, or way:
b3: and then, metaphorically, to The divine way of religion; so says
Er-Rághib; (
TA;)
syn. with شَرِيعَةٌ,
q. v. (
Msb.)
b4: In the saying مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ شَرْعِكَ, (so in the
K,) or مررت بِرَجُلٍ شَرْعُكَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ, (so in the
S and
O, [ for هُوَ شَرْعُكَ,]) with kesr and with damm to the ع [of شرعك], (
TA,) i. e. [I passed by a man] sufficing thee [as a man], (
S,
O,
K,) the meaning is, of the sort to which thou directest thyself and which thou seekest (فِيهِ وَتَطْلُبُهُ ↓ تَشْرَعُ): (
S, O:) and the word in this sense is used alike as
sing. and
pl. (
S,
O,
K) and dual, because it is [originally] an
inf. n. (
S, O.) You say, شَرْعُكَ هٰذَا [and هٰذَانِ and هٰؤُلَآءِ] i. e. Sufficient for thee [is this and are these two and are these]. (
S: and the like is said in the
Mgh.) And it is said in a
prov., شَرْعُكَ مَا بَلَّغَكَ المَحَلَّا thus correctly, for it is a hemistich; not المَحَلَّ, as in the
S and
K; (
TA;) i. e. Sufficient travel-ling-provision for thee is that which will cause thee to reach the place [of alighting] to which thou repairest: (
K,
TA:) applied to the case of being content with little. (
S,
K.)
b5: See also شَرَعٌ, in two places.
b6: And see شِرْعَةٌ.
شِرْعٌ [in the
CK, erroneously, شَرْع,] The like of a thing; as also ↓ شِرْعَةٌ: (
K,
TA:) [but the former is
masc. and ↓ the latter is
fem.; for] one says, هٰذَا شِرْعُ هٰذَا This is the like of this; and so هٰذِهِ هٰذِهِ ↓ شِرْعَةُ: and هٰذَانِ شِرْعَانِ these two are likes. (
S,
O,
TA.) [The pls., or rather coll. gen. ns. and pls., following this meaning in the
K belong to شِرْعَةٌ and شَرْعَةٌ in another sense; as is shown by exs. in the O and
TA.]
A2: Also The chords of the بَرْبَط, (

b2: And hence, as being likened thereto, (
TA,) (
tropical:) The [thong called] شِرَاك of a sandal. (

O,
TA) i. e. (
tropical:) [Verily I love elegance, even] in the شراك of my sandal. (
TA.) شَرَعٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ.
A2: One says, النَّاسُ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ شَرَعٌ and ↓ شَرْعٌ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) the latter a contraction of the former, (
Msb,) allowed by
Kr and
Kz, but disallowed by Yaakoob, (
IDrst,
TA,) The people are in this affair equals: (
S,
Msb,
K:) in this sense, used alike as
sing. and
pl. and
fem. (
S,
TA) and
masc.: (
TA:) [of شَرَعٌ]
Az says that it seems to be
pl. [or
quasi-pl. n.] of ↓ شَارِعٌ, like as خَدَمٌ is of خَادِمٌ; i. e., [the phrase means] the people enter into this affair (يَشْرَعُونَ فِيهِ) together. (
TA.) One says also, النَّاسُ شَرَعٌ وَاحِدٌ and واحد ↓ شَرْعٌ, meaning The people are one sort. (

O,
K,) and ↓ شَرْعَةٌ, (
K,) A string, or chord: (
S,
O,
K,
TA:) or such as is slender: or while continuing stretched upon the bow; (
TA;) and so ↓ شِرَاعٌ; (
Lth,
O,
K;) or upon the lute; and so ↓ شِرَاعٌ: (
TA:) the
pl. [or rather
coll. gen. n.] (of ↓ شِرْعَةٌ,
S,
O, [i. e. of this
n. un. meaning the “ chord of a lute,” as is shown by exs. in the O and
TA,]) is ↓ شِرْعٌ (
S,
O,
K) and (that of ↓ شَرْعَةٌ,
TA) ↓ شَرْعٌ, (
O,
K,
TA,) like as تَمْرٌ is of تَمْرَةٌ, (
O,
TA,) and [the
pl. properly so termed] (of شِرْعَةٌ,
S, O) شِرَعٌ, and
pl. pl. شِرَاعٌ: (
S,
O,
K:) and the
pl. of ↓ شِرَاعٌ as a

O,
K,
TA:) so called because it is raised (يُشْرَعُ i. e. يُرْفَعُ) above the ship, or boat: (
TA:)
pl. أَشْرِعَةٌ and شُرُعٌ; (

O,
K;) as an
attribute of a man. (
O.) شَرِيعَةٌ and ↓ مَشْرَعَةٌ (
S,
O,
Msb,
K) and ↓ مَشْرُعَةٌ (
Msb,
K) and ↓ مَشْرَعٌ (
TA) and ↓ شَرَعٌ (
O,
TA *) and مَآءٍ ↓ شِرَاعُ (
TA) A watering-place; a resort of drinkers [both men and beasts]; (
S,
O,
K,
TA;) a place to which men come to drink therefrom and to draw water, (
Msb, *
TA,) and into which they sometimes make their beasts to enter, to drink: (
TA:) but the term ↓ مشرعة, (
Az,
Msb,) or شريعة, (
TA,) is not applied by the Arabs to any but [a watering-place] such as is permanent, and apparent to the eye, (
Az,
Msb,
TA,) like the water of rivers, (
Msb,) not water from which one draws with the well-rope: (

Lth,
TA:) or a way to water. (
Bd in
v. 52.)
b2: And hence, (
Lth,
Kr,
Msb,
TA, and
Bd ubi suprà,) الشَّرِيعَةُ, (
Lth,
Kr,
S,
Msb,
K, &c.,) as also ↓ الشِّرْعَةُ, (
Msb,
K, &c.,) and ↓ الشَّرْعُ, (
Msb,) signifies likewise الدِّينُ; (
Msb, and
Bd ubi suprà;) because it is a way to the means of eternal life; (
Bd ibid.;) or because of its manifestness; (
Msb;) [i. e.] The religious law of God; (

epithet applied to A spear-head and a spear, of Shuráa, (
TA,) which was the name of a certain man who made spear-heads and spears, (

TA,) as they assert: but
IAar says that it may be a
reg. rel.
n. from شُرَاعٌ, or an
irreg. rel.
n. from some other name of which the radical latters are شرع: and [
SM says also that,] applied to a spear, it signifies long: (

n. [from شِرَاعٌ]. (
S, O.) شُرَاعِيَّةٌ and ↓ شِرَاعِيَّةٌ [in the
CK without teshdeed], applied to a she-camel, signify (
tropical:) Long-necked; (
O,
K,
TA:) thus
expl. by
ISh: but
Az thinks the latter to be the more probably correct; the neck being likened to the شِرَاع of the ship or boat, because of the height thereof. (
O.) شِرَاعِىٌّ; and its
fem., with ة: see the next preceding paragraph.
شَرَّاعٌ A seller of the flax called شَرِيع. (

Msb, or يَشْرَعُ فِيهِ النَّاسُ,
Mgh,
TA) in common, or in general; (
Mgh,
Msb,
TA;) by a
tropical attribution; (
Mgh;) [i. e.] شَارِعٌ in this case has the meaning of مَشْرُوعٌ [or مَشْرُوعٌ فِيهِ]; (
Msb;) or as meaning ذُو شَرْعٍ مِنَ الخَلْقِ [having an entering of people]: (
TA:) or it signifies a manifest, plain, or conspicuous, road or way: (

Msb.)
A2: الشَّارِعُ also means The learned man who practises what he knows and instructs others: (
