صَيْفٌ as signifying A certain portion of the year is said by
ISk to be
fem.: (
TA,
voce شِتَآءٌ;
q. v.:) [but by others I find it treated as
masc.:] the صَيْف as meaning one of the seasons is well known: (
M:)
Lth says, it is one of the quarters of the year; and is applied by the vulgar to a half of the year [i. e. to the half-year commencing at the vernal equinox; the other half-year being called by them the شِتَآء]:
Az says, it is, with the Arabs, the division which the vulgar in El-'Irák and Khurásán call the رَبِيع [i. e. the spring]; it consists of three months; and the division that next follows it is with the Arabs the قَيْظ; and in it is the جَمْرَة [
q. v.] of the قِيْظ; then, after this, is the division called the خَرِيف; and then, after this, the division called the شِتَآء: (
TA:) [i. e.] it is the quarter of the year vulgarly called the رَبِيع, commencing when the sun enters Aries: but is applied by the vulgar to the قَيْظ, which is the [summer, i. e.] the quarter commencing when the sun enters Cancer: (
Msb in art. زمن;
q. v.:) [
F says,] the صَيْف is the قَيْظ [i. e. summer, or the hot season]; or [the season] after the رَبِيع: (
K:) and [
Sgh says,] the صَيْف is one of the divisions of the year; which is after the رَبِيع: (
O:) [but unless this explanation in the O denote only a vulgar meaning, and the latter of the two explanations in the
K be virtually a repetition, we must suppose that, in each of them, by the ربيع is meant the season of rain thus termed, which ends in March: (see the latter of the two tables which I have inserted
voce زَمَنٌ:) most probably, I think, both have been faultily transcribed from what here follows; for the
S is largely copied in the
O, and the
S and O are among the principal sources of the
K, which generally follows the O when it differs (rightly or wrongly) from the
S:] the صَيْف is one of the divisions of the year; which is after [that called] الرَّبِيعُ الأَوَّلُ and before [that called] القَيْظُ: (
S:) [this admits of two renderings, both of which are correct; namely, the quarter after the season of two months called الربيع الاوّل (which ends in March) and before the quarter called القيظ (which is summer); and also the season of two months after that called الربيع الاوّل and before the similar season called القيظ: (see the former of the two tables to which I have referred above:) but probably the latter only was meant by him who first gave. this explanation:] the
pl. is أَصْيَافٌ (
M,
O,
K) and صُيُوفٌ: (
M,
Msb:) ↓ صَيْفَةٌ is a more particular term [
app. meaning A single صَيْف; (see 2;)]; it is like شَتْوَةٌ [
q. v.]; (
O,
K;) and its
pl. is صِيَفٌ, like بِدَرٌ
pl. of بَدْرَةٌ. (
Fr,
O,
K.) الصَّيْفَ ضَيَّعْتِ اللَّبَنَ is a saying
expl. in art. ضيع [
q. v.]. (
O,
K.)
b2: الصَّيْفُ also signifies The rain that comes in the [season called] صَيْف; (
S,
O,
Msb,
K;) [see, again, the second of the tables to which I have referred above, and see also نَوْ ٌ;] and (
O,
K) so ↓ الصَّيِّفُ; (
M,
O,
K;) also signifying the herbage thereof: (
M:) or, (
K,)
accord. to
Lth, (
O,) the latter signifies the rain that falls after the division [a mistake for the rain] called the رَبِيع; (
O,
K;) and so the former; (
K;) and it is also called ↓ الصَّيْفِىُّ; (
O,
K;) which likewise signifies the herbage thereof. (
TA.) Hence the
prov., relating to the completing of the performance of a needful affair, تَمَامُ الرَّبِيعِ الصَّيْفُ [The completion of the rain called the ربيع is that called the صيف]: for the rain called the ربيع is the first rain, and the صيف is that which is [next] after it. (
TA.)
b3: آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ is [A verse] in the end (آخِر) of سُورَةُ النِّسَآءِ [the 4th chapter of the

b5: صَيْفِيَّةٌ [used as a
subst., or as an
epithet in which the quality of a
subst. is predominant, for مِيرَةٌ صَيْفِيَّةٌ,] and ↓ صَائِفَةٌ signify The مِيرَة [or provision of corn &c.] in the first part of the صَيْف [here meaning spring]; i. e. the second ميرة; for the first of the مِيرَ is the رِبْعِيَّة, then the صَيْفِيَّة, then the دَفَئِيَّة, and then the رَمَضِيَّة: (
M:) or the ↓ صَائِفَة of a people is their مِيرَة in the صَيْف. (
S,
O,
K.) [See مِيرَةٌ.]
b6: [صَيْفِيَّةٌ is also applied to The latter, or last, season of the bringing forth of camels; so in an explanation of هُبَعٌ in the
S and
TA.]
صَيْفِيَّةٌ [
fem. of صَيْفِىٌّ: and also used as a
subst., or as an
epithet in which the quality of a
subst. is predominant: see the latter word].

imitative sequent in the phrase صَيْفٌ صَائِفٌ, (

PS:) a phrase like لَيْلٌ لَائِلٌ &c. (
S, O.) And one says يَوْمٌ صَائِفٌ, (
S,
M,
O,
Msb,
K,) meaning A hot day; (
O,
K;) and ↓ يَوْمٌ صَافٌ (
S,
O,
K) was sometimes said, meaning صَائِفٌ; like يَوْمٌ رَاحٌ [as meaning رَائِحٌ]: (
S:) and لَيْلَةٌ صَائِفَةٌ [a hot night]. (
S,
O,
Msb.)
b2: And مَطَرٌ صَائِفٌ [
app. Rain coming in the صَيْف, meaning spring; as also ↓ مُصِيفٌ, occurring in a verse cited
voce رَسَمَ,
q. v.]. (
M.) See also صَافٍ in art. صفو.
صَائِفَةٌ [
fem. of صَائفٌ,
q. v. b2: Also, as a
subst.,] A warring, or warring and plundering, expedition in the صَيْف [i. e. either spring or summer]: (

Ham p. 239:)
pl. صَوَائِفُ. (
Mgh, and
Ham ib.) And [particularly] (
Mgh) A warring, or warring and plundering, expedition against the Greeks (الرُّوم): because they [i. e. the Arabs] used to go on expeditions of this kind in the صيف, (

S,
O,
K.) And they said, وَلِىَ فُلَانٌ الصَّائِفَةَ, meaning Such a one was commander of the army going on a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition in the صَيْف: (
Ham ubi suprà:) [but
Mtr says,] he who explains صَائِفَةٌ as meaning the place [of], or the army [engaged in, such an expedition], errs: [adding that the Hanafee Imám] Mohammad has used the phrase الصَّوَائِفُ وَنَحْوُهَا مِنَ العَسَاكِرِ العِظَامِ either by surmise or by extension of the [proper] meaning. (
Mgh.)
b3: See also صَيْفِىٌّ, in two places.
