غفل
1 غَفَلَ عَنْهُ, (
S,
O,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـُ (
S,
O,
Msb,)
inf. n. غُفُولٌ (
S,
O,
Msb,
K) and غَفْلَةٌ, (
S,
O,
Msb,) or the latter is a simple
subst., (
K,) or it is a simple
subst. as well as an
inf. n., and so may be غُفْلَانٌ, said in the
K to be a simple
subst.; and
MF says that غَفِلَ,
aor. ـَ of which غَفَلٌ, mentioned in the
K as a
subst. syn. with غَفْلَةٌ, may be the
inf. n., has been mentioned by some as a
dial. var. of غَفَلَ, but had not been found by him in any of the lexicological works notwithstanding much research, so that its correctness requires consideration; (
TA;) He was, or became, unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, or heedless, of it, or inadvertent to it; (
Msb;) namely, a thing: (
S,
O,
Msb:) or he neglected it; and was, or became, unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, or heedless, of it, or inadvertent to it: (
K:) and sometimes it is used as meaning he neglected it [intentionally], leaving it, and turning away: (
Msb:) and ↓ اغفلهُ signifies the same as غَفَلَ عَنْهُ: or غَفَلَ signifies صَارَغَافِلًا [he became unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, heedless, or inadvertent]: and غَفَلَ عَنْهُ and ↓ اغفلهُ signify وَصَّلَ غَفْلَتَهُ إِلَيْهِ [which is
app. said merely for the purpose of showing that the former verb is made
trans. only by means of عَنْ, and the latter is
trans. without any
prep.; for وَصَّلَ الفِعْلَ إِلَى
مَفْعُوِلهِ and أَوْصَلَهُ إِلَيْهِ, which latter phrase is the more usual, mean “ he made the verb transitive ”]: (
K:) or ↓ اغفلهُ signifies he neglected it (i. e. a thing) though remembering it. ('Eyn,
Sb,
S,
O,
Msb.) It is said in a
trad., مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الصَّيْدَ غَفَلَ i. e. He who pursues the object of the chase has his mind busied and possessed by it so that he becomes unmindful [&c. of other things]. (
TA.) 2 غفّلهُ,
inf. n. تَغْفِيلٌ, He made him to become unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, heedless, or inadvertent. (
Msb.)
b2: See also 4.
b3: التَّغْفِيلُ signifies [also] The sufficing one's companion [in respect of an affair] when he who is the object thereof is unmindful, unoccupied [in mind, or actually,] by anything. (
ISk,
K,
TA.) [You say, غفّل صَاحِبَهُ meaning He sufficed his companion in respect of an affair when he (the latter) was unmindful, &c.]
A2: And غفّلهُ, (
Mgh,
O,
K, but in my copy of the
Mgh written without tesh-deed,)
inf. n. as above, (
O,
K,) He concealed it, (
Mgh,
O,
K,) namely, a thing. (
Mgh, O.) 3 غافلهُ [
app. He acted with him in the manner of him who is unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, heedless, or inadvertent]. (
TA voce سَاهَاهُ,
q. v., in art. سهو.) 4 اغفلهُ: see 1, in three places.
b2: [Hence,] one says, مَا أَغْفَلَهُ عَنْكَ شَيْئًا [
app. lit. signifying How unmindful of thee is he as to anything! and therefore virtually] meaning dismiss doubt [from thee respecting him as to anything]. (
TA. [See further explanations of it
voce شَىْءٌ.])
b3: and اغفلهُ عَنْهُ He made him to be unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, or heedless, of it, or inadvertent to it; (
S, *
O,
TA;) namely, a thing. (
S.) [Or]
اغفلهُ signifies He, or it, smote him, or lighted on him, he (the latter) being غَافِل [i. e. unmindful, &c.]: or he made him to be غَافِل: or he called him, or named him, غَافِل: and in like manner ↓ غفّلهُ,
inf. n. تَغْفِيلٌ: (
TA:) or تَغْفِيلٌ signifies the calling [one] unmindful, &c.: and the rendering [one] stupid, or foolish. (
KL.)
b4: And اغفلهُ signifies also He asked him [for, or respecting, a thing] in the time of his occupation, not waiting for the time of his freedom therefrom. (

b5: And اغفل الدَّابَّةَ He left the beast unbranded; did not brand it. (
S, O.) 5 تغفّل as
intrans.: see 6, in two places.
A2: تغفّلهُ He watched for his unmindfulness, forgetfulness, negligence, heedlessness, or inadvertence; (
S,
Mgh,
O,
Msb;) as also عَنْهُ ↓ تغافل, (
S,
O,) and ↓ استغفلهُ: (
TA:) تغافل [as
trans.] in this sense [without a
prep.] is a mistake. (
Mgh.) 6 تغافل He feigned himself unmindful, forgetful, neglectful, heedless, or inadvertent; not being so really. (
Msb.) [And] He was intentionally, or purposely, unmindful, forgetful, &c.; as also ↓ تغفّل: (

K;) such as has no portion assigned to it, and no fine: (
O,
K:) [or,]
accord. to
Lh, one says قِدَاحٌ غُفْلٌ, using the
sing. form [of the
epithet] meaning [gaming arrows] in which are no notches, and to which is assigned no portion and no fine: they used to be added to give additional weight to the collection of arrows from fear of occasioning suspicion [of foul play], i. e. to increase the number: and they were four; the first [called] المُصَدَّرُ; the next, المُضَعَّفُ; the next, المَنِيحُ; and the next, السَّفِيحُ. (

TA,) or the
subst. is ↓ غَفَلَةٌ, with fet-h to the ف to distinguish it from the
inf. n.; (
