1 حَبِطَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. حَبَطٌ, (Az, S, K, &c.,) He (a beast, Az, S, or a camel, ISd, K) ate much, (S,) or had pain in his belly from pasture which he found unwholesome, or from eating much of herbage, (ISd, K,) so that he became swollen, or inflated, thereby (S, ISd, K) in his belly, (S,) and there would not come forth from him (S, ISd, K) what was in it, (S,) or anything; (ISd, K;) he did not void either thin dung or urine, his belly being bound: (Az:) or he (a sheep, or goat, ISk, S) became swollen, or inflated, in his belly, in consequence of eating [the herb called] ذُرَق, (ISk, S, K, *) which is the حَنْدَ قُوق [i. e. the herb lotus, melilot, or bird's-foot-trefoil]: (ISk, S:) or he (a beast) lighted upon good pasturage, and ate immoderately, so that he became swollen, or inflated, and died: (Z, IAth:) or, in speaking of a horse, you do not say, حَبِطَ الفَرَسُ, but حَبِطَ قُصَيْرَى الفَرَسِ, or خَاصِرَتُهُ, or مَوْقِفُهُ, because it means that the horse's belly became swollen, or inflated: (ISd, Z, L:) you say also, حَبِطَ بَطْنُهُ his belly became swollen, or inflated, so that he died: (Az, TA:) or his (a man's) belly became swollen, or inflated, by food &c.: (Mbr, TA in art. حبطأ:) and حَبِطَ is also said of the skin, meaning it became swollen, or inflated. (TA.) [See also Q. Q. 3; and see حَبَطٌ below.] b2: Hence, app., i. e. from حَبِطَ said of the belly, (Az, TA,) or it is from this verb said of a beast, (Z, IAth, TA,) حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ, (Az, S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـَ (Az, Msb, K;) and حَبَطَ, aor. ـِ (Az, Az, Msb, K;) the latter, says Az, heard by Az from an Arab of the desert, but I have not heard it on any other authority; (TA;) inf. n. حَبْطٌ, (Az, S, K, [but in the Msb it seems to be indicated that it is حَبَطٌ,]) with the ب quiescent, (Az, S,) thus differing from the inf. n. of حَبِطَ said of the belly, (Az, TA,) and حُبُوطٌ, (Az, S, Msb, K,) which latter, accord. to Az, is the inf. n. of حَبَطَ like ضَرَبَ; (T, TA;) (tropical:) His work, or deed, became null, or void, or of no account; it went for nothing; it perished; (Az, Msb, TA;) for like as he of whom one says حَبِطَ بَطْنُهُ perishes, so does the work, or deed, of the hypocrite: (Az, TA:) or it became ineffective of reward; its reward became annulled. (S, K.) And hence also, (Z, TA,) حَبِطَ دَمُهُ, aor. ـَ (Z, Msb, K, TA,) but not حَبَطَ also, as is implied in the K, (TA,) and in this case the inf. n. is حَبَطٌ, (Msb, * TA,) with the ب movent, (TA,) (tropical:) His blood (the blood of one slain, K) went for nothing; unretaliated, and uncompensated by a mulct. (Msb, K, TA.) b3: حَبِطَ said of the water of a well, i. q. أَحْبَطَ, q. v. (TA.) b4: Said of a wound, (S, Ibn-' Abbád, K,) aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. حَبَطٌ, with fet-h to the ب, (S, K,) It had scars remaining after having healed: (Ibn-' Abbád, K: *) or it broke open again; or became recrudescent; syn. عَرِبَ [which has the signification given above on the authority of Ibn-' Abbád as well as what follows it] and نُكِسَ. (S.) [See also حَبَطٌ below.]4 أَحْبَطَ [احبطهُ seems to signify, in its primary acceptation, He made him, (namely a beast,) or it, (the belly,) to be in the state termed حَبَطٌ, which see below. b2: And hence,] احبط عَمَلَهُ (tropical:) He (God, S, K, or a man, Msb) made his work, or deed, to become null, or void, or of no account; to go for nothing; to perish; (Msb, K, * TA;) to be ineffective of reward; or he annulled its reward. (S.) So it signifies in the Kur [xxxiii. 19, &c.]: and you say, إِنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا أَتْبَعَهُ مَا يُحْبِطُهُ وَ إِنْ أَرْسَلَ كَلِمًا طَيِّبًا أَرْسَلَ خَلْفَهُ مَا يُحْبِطُهُ (tropical:) [If he do a good deed, he makes to follow it that which annuls it; and if he send forth good words, he sends forth after them that which annuls them]. (TA.) And hence also, (Z, TA,) احبط الدَّمَ (tropical:) He made the blood to go for nothing; unretaliated, and uncompensated by a mulct. (Msb, K, * TA. *) b3: احبطهُ الضَّرْبُ The beating made a mark or scar, or marks or scars, upon him. (TA.) A2: احبط مَآءُ الرَّكِيَّةِ, (K,) inf. n. إِحْبَاطٌ, (AA, S,) The water of the well went away, and did not return (AA, S, K) as it was; (AA, S;) as also ↓ حَبِطَ, aor. ـَ (TA.) b2: احبط عَنْ فُلَانٍ He turned away from, avoided, shunned, and left, such a one. (IDrd, K.) Q. Q. 3 اِحْبَنْطَى He (a man, TA) was, or became, swollen, or inflated, in his belly: (K, TA:) he (a man) was short and bigbellied: (S:) he (a man) was, or became, filled with wrath, or rage; or by repletion of the belly; as also اِحْبَنْطَأَ: from حَبَطٌ. (TA.) [See 1.]

حَبَطٌ [inf. n. of حَبِطَ, q. v.:] A beast's having the belly swollen, or inflated, so that what is in it does not come forth, in consequence of eating much: (S:) or pain in the belly, of a camel, from pasture which he finds unwholesome, or from herbage of which he has eaten much, so that he becomes swollen, or inflated, therefrom, (ISd, K,) in his belly, (TA,) and nothing comes forth from him: (ISd, K:) or a swelling, or inflation, of the belly, (K,) or a beast's having the belly swollen, or inflated, (ISk, S,) from eating [the herb called] ذُرَق: (ISk, S, K:) [see 1:] and a swelling in the udder or other thing: (K:) or, accord. to the M, the slightest swelling in the udder: or, as some say, swelling, or inflation, wherever it be, from disease or other cause. (TA.) It is said in a trad., إِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ مضا يَقْتُلُ حَبَطًا أَوْ يُلِمُّ [Verily, of what the (rain, or season, called) ربيع causes to grow, is what kills by inflation of the belly, or nearly does so]. (S, TA.) b2: The scars, or marks, of a wound, or of whips, upon the body, after healing: or the swollen scars, or marks, (of whips, TA,) not lacerated: when mangled and bleeding, they are termed عُلُوب [pl. of عَلْب]: (K:) the excrescent flesh upon the scars of wounds. (Sgh.) حَبِطٌ part. n. of حَبِطَ; A camel [or other beast having his belly swollen, or inflated, so that what is in it does not come forth, in consequence of eating much: or] having pain in the belly, from pasture which he finds unwholesome, or from herbage of which he has eaten much, so that he is swollen, or inflated, therefrom, [in his belly,] and nothing comes forth from him: (K:) [see حَبَطٌ:] pl. حَبَاطَى (K) and حَبَطَةٌ. (M, TA.) You say also فَرَسٌ حَبِطُ القُصَيْرَى A horse swollen, or inflated, in the flanks. (TA.) حُبَاطٌ The disease in which the belly is swollen, or inflated, from eating [the herb called] ذُرَق: (K:) or, as Az says, accord. to some, it is with the pointed خ, from التَّخَبُّطُ signifying “ the being in a state of commotion, agitation, convulsion, tumult, or disturbance. ” (TA.) حُبَيْطٍ: see حَبَنْطًى.

حُبَيْطِىٌّ: see حَبَنْطًى.

حَبَنْطًى, with tenween, and حَبَنْطَأٌ, the ن and the ا [which latter is written in the former word ى being added to render the word quasi-coordinate to سَفَرْجَلٌ, (S, TA,) the derivation being from حَبَطٌ, (TA,) A man short and bigbellied; (S, TA;) as also حَبَنْطَاةٌ and ↓ مُحْبَنْطٍ: (S:) [see the last of these words below:] or filled with wrath, or rage; or by repletion of the belly; (K;) as also حِبَنْطًى and حَبَنْطَاةٌ: (Ks, Lh:) and this last, a woman short, ugly, and bigbellied; (K;) also related with ء [i. e. حَبَنْطَأَةٌ, or, as it is written in the L, حَبَنْطَآءَةٌ, but this I think a mistranscription]. (TA.) When you form the dim., you may reject the ن, and change the ا [which is the final letter] into ى, so that [the dim. becomes originally حُبَيْطِىٌ, for which, accord. to a wellknown rule,] you say ↓ حُبَيْطٍ, with kesr to the ط, and with tenween; for the ا is not to denote the fem. gender, that the letter preceding it should be with fet-h, as in [حُبَيْلَى and بُشَيْرَى] the dims. of حُبْلَى and بُشْرَى: you may also retain the ن, and reject the ا; saying ↓ حُبَيْنِطٌ: and thus you may do in the case of any noun having two letters added for the purpose of quasi-coordination: you may also put a compensation for the letter rejected in either place, or not: if you put a compensation in the former instance, you say ↓ حُبَيْطِىٌّ, with teshdeed to the ى, and with kesr to the ط; and in the latter instance, you say ↓ حُبَيْنِيطٌ. (S, O, TA.) حُبَيْنِطٌ: see حَبَنْطًى.

حُبَينِيطٌ: see حَبَنْطًى.

مُحْبَنْطٍ and مُحْبَنْطِئٌ A man, or child, swollen, or inflated, in his belly: (TA:) or filled with anger: (Az, TA:) or who becomes angry, deeming a thing slow or tardy or late: (IAth, TA:) or refraining as one who seeks or desires, not as one who refuses: (TA:) or the former, becoming angry; and the latter, swollen, or inflated: (IB, TA:) or the former, deeming a thing slow or tardy or late; and the latter, bigbellied: and the latter also signifies cleaving to the ground. (TA.) See also حَبَنْطًى.

حتف

1 حَتَفَ, aor. ـِ is a verb mentioned by IKoot and IKtt and others, as derived from حَتْفٌ signifying “ death,” though J says that no verb is formed from this word; as IF and Meyd and Az also assert: (MF, TA:) and حُتُوفٌ is its inf. n., as well as pl. of حَتْفٌ: [accord. to SM, it is intrans., signifying He died; for he says,] hence the saying in the A, المَرْءُ يَسْعَى وَيَطُوفُ وَعَاقِبَتُهُ الحُتُوفُ [Man labours, and goes about: and his end is dying]. (TA.) [But see what follows.]

A2: IF says that no verb is formed from حَتْفٌ signifying “ death; ” and so, after him, J; and Az says that he had heard no such verb: but IKoot mentions حَتَفَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. حَتْفٌ, as signifying He, or it, killed him; or caused him to die. (Msb.) حَتْفٌ Death: (S, Msb, K, &c.:) pl. حُتُوفٌ. (S, K.) You say, مَاتَ حَتْفَ أَنْفِهِ, (A 'Obeyd, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and حَتْفَ فِيهِ, but this is rare, and حَتْفَ أَنْفَيْهِ, (K,) which may mean مَنْخِرَيْهِ, or it may mean أَنْفه وَفَمه, the انف being made predominant, (TA,) He died upon his bed; (A 'Obeyd, Mgh, Msb, K;) [a natural death;] respiring until he yielded his last breath; (Msb;) not from slaughter, nor beating, (A 'Obeyd, S, Msb, K,) nor drowning, nor burning, (A 'Obeyd, Sgh, Msb, K,) nor by a wild beast, &c.: (A 'Obeyd, TA:) the nose is particularized as meaning that the spirit passes forth from it with the breath; or because they imagined that the spirit of the sick man passes forth from his nose, and that of the wounded man from his wound; (IAth, K;) or because the spirit passes forth from the mouth and the nose, and the latter of these is made predominant: (O, TA:) and حتف is put in the accus. case in the manner of an inf. n. (TA.) This phrase was used in the time of paganism, by Es-Semow-al: (Msb, TA:) or, accord. to some, in the phrase attributed to him, the right reading is not مات حتف انفه, but مات فِى فِرَاشِهِ; and the former was first used by Mohammad. (Ham p. 52.) It is said of a human being: (S, Mgh:) and then of any animal when it dies without any accidental cause: (Mgh:) hence, of a fish that has died, and floats upon the water. (Msb, TA.) It is said in a trad. of 'Ámir Ibn-Fuheyreh, وَالمَرْءُ يَأْتِى حَتْفُهُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ [And man, his death comes from above him]: meaning that his caution and his cowardice will not repel from him the decree of death when it befalls him: originally said by 'Amr Ibn-Mámeh. (L, TA.) A2: حَيَّةٌ حَتْفَةٌ [A dead serpent] is a phrase like اِمْرَأَةٌ عَدْلَةٌ: (Z, TA:) the latter word is here an epithet. (Z, K.)

حرف

1 حَرَفَ الشَّىْءَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ, (AO, S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb,) or ـِ (K,) inf. n. حَرْفٌ, (S, Msb,) He turned the thing from its proper way, or manner: (K:) or altered it therefrom: (Msb:) and ↓ حرّفهُ, inf. n. تَحْرِيفٌ, has this latter meaning: (K, * TA:) or has an intensive signification of this kind. (Msb.) الكَلِمِ عَنْ ↓ تَحْرِيفُ مَوَاضِعِهِ signifies The altering words from their proper meanings: (S, * TA:) and agreeably with this explanation, the verb is used in the Kur iv. 48, &c.: (TA:) or تحريف signifies the perverting of language: (Msb:) or the altering a word in form; as in writing بُرْدٌ for بَرْدٌ; or vice versâ: (KT:) [and the mistranscribing a word in any manner: commonly used in this sense in the lexicons &c.: or the altering a word by substituting one letter, or more, for another, or others. See also صَحَّفَ.]

(IAar, K.) A4: حَرَفَ عَيْنُهُ, inf. n. حَرْفَةٌ, (K,) not an inf. n. of un., (TA,) He applied collyrium to his eye (K, TA) with the [style called] مِيل. (TA.) A5: حُرِفَ فِى مَالِهِ, inf. n. حَرْفَةٌ, He suffered the loss of somewhat of his property. (Lh, K.) 2 حَرَّفَ see 1, in two places. b2: [Hence,] طَاعُونٌ يُحَرِّفُ القُلُوبَ [A pestilence] causing the hearts [of those witnessing its effects] to turn away, and be aloof: (K:) occurring in a trad.: or, accord. to one relation, يُحَوِّفُ القلوب, (TA,) i. e., turning the hearts from confidence, and inclining them to removal and flight. (K and TA in art. حوف.) b3: تَحْرِيفُ القَلَمِ The nibbing the writing-reed obliquely; (S, * K, * TA;) making the right tooth of the nib higher [i. e. longer] than the left. (TA.) You say also, حَرَّفَ القَطَّةَ [He made the nibbing oblique]. (TA.) and حرّف السِّكِّينَ فِى حَالِ القَطِّ [He turned the knife obliquely in nibbing]. (TA.) b4: See also 7. b5: تَحْرِيفٌ also signifies The putting in motion, or into a state of commotion; syn. تَحْرِيكٌ. (TA.) b6: قَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَحَرَّفَهَا كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ القَتْلَ, in a trad., means [He made a sign with his hand,] and imitated with it the cutting of a sword with its edge. (TA.) 3 حُورِفَ He was debarred from the means of subsistence; because he of whom this is said is aloof (بِحَرْفٍ) from the means of subsistence. (Mgh.) And حُورِفَ كَسْبُ فُلَانٍ Such a one was made to experience difficulty (S, TA) in his buying and selling, and was straitened (TA) in his means of subsistence; as though his means of subsistence were turned away from him: (S, TA:) or he had his gain, or earnings, turned away from him. (Msb.) It is said in a trad. of Ibn-Mes'ood, مَوْتُ المُؤْمِنِ عَرَقُ الجَبِينِ تَبْقَى عَلَيْهِ البَقِيَّةِمِنَ الذُّنُوبِ فَيُحَارِفُ بِهَا عِنْدَ المَوْتِ, i. e. [The death of the believer is accompanied with sweating of the side of the forehead: some sins remain chargeable against him, and] he is made to experience difficulty by them [in dying], in order that his sins may be diminished. (S.) A2: مُحَارَفَةٌ has also a meaning like مُفَاخَرَةٌ: Sá'ideh says, فَقَدْ عَلِمُوا فِى الغَزْوِ كَيْفَ نُحَارِفُ [And they certainly know, in warfare, how we vie for superiority in glory: or] accord. to Skr, it means how we deal with them; as when one says to a man, What is thy حِرْفَة (i. e. thine occupation) and thy lineage? (TA:) [or the meaning may be how we requite; for]

A3: حارفهُ بِسُوْءٍ signifies He requited him for evil (K, TA) that he had done. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., إِنَّ العَبْدِ لَيُحَارَفُ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ الخَيْرَ أَوْ الشَّرَّ, i. e.

[of mult. حُرُوفٌ, and of pauc.] أَحْرُفٌ. (TA.) Hence, (S,) [A point, a ridge, a brow, and a ledge, of a mountain:] the pointed, sharp, or edged, summit of a mountain: (S, Msb, K:) a projecting portion in the side of a mountain, in form like a small دُكَّان [i. e. bench] or the like: and a portion in the summit of a mountain, having a thin edge, or ridge, rising above the upper part of the back: (Sh, TA:) pl. (of the word thus used in relation to a mountain, TA) حِرَفٌ; (Fr, S, Msb, K;) accord. to Fr, (Msb,) the only instance of the kind except طِلَلٌ as pl. of طَلٌّ. (Msb, K.) [Hence, also,] A nib, of a writing-reed, obliquely cut: so in the phrase قَلَمٌ لَا حَرْفَ لَهُ, in the S and K in art. جزم, a writingreed not having a nib obliquely cut. (TA in that art. [See 2 in the present art.]) And حَرْفَا الرَّأْسِ The two lateral halves of the head. (TA.) [Hence, also, the phrase] فُلَانٌ عَلَى حَرْفٍ مِنْ

أَمْرِهِ [and بِحَرْفٍ مِنْهُ (see 3, first sentence,)] Such a one is [standing] aloof with respect to his affair, (عَلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنْهُ, ISd, TA,) [in suspense,] waiting, and looking to the result, if he see, in regarding it from one side, what he likes; (TA;) turning from it if he see what does not please him. (ISd, TA.) The saying, in the Kur xxii. 11, وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللّٰهَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ means And of men is he who serves God standing aloof with respect to religion, in a fluctuating state, like him who is in the outskirts of the army, who, if sure of victory and spoil, stands firm, and otherwise flees: (Ksh, Bd: *) or the meaning is, who serves God in doubt, or suspense, (Zj, K, Jel,) being unsteady like him who alights and abides upon the حَرْف [i. e. point, or ridge, or brow,] of a mountain: (Jel:) or in a state of disquietude respecting his case; (Ibn-'Arafeh, K;) i. e. not entering into the religion firmly, or steadily: (K:) or who serves God in one mode of circumstances; i. e. when in ample circumstances, and not when straitened in circumstances; (Az, S, K;) as though good fortune and plenty were one side, and an evil state were another side: (Az, TA:) [hence,] حَرْفٌ sometimes signifies a mode, or manner, and a way. (Msb.) b2: A letter of the alphabet: pl. حُرُوفٌ: (S, Msb, K:) the letters being thus called because they are the extremities of the word [and of the syllable]. (Kull.) The saying of the lawyers, تُبْطَلُ الصَّلَاةَ بِحَرْفٍ مُفْهِمٍ [Prayer is made null by a significant letter] means only by an imperative of a verb of which the first and last radical letters are infirm; such as فِ from وَفَى, and قِ from وَقَى, and the like. (Msb.) b3: As a grammatical term, (assumed tropical:) [A particle; i. e.] what is used to express a meaning, and is not a noun nor a verb: every other definition of it is bad: (K:) pl. حُرُوفٌ. (Msb, &c.) b4: And (tropical:) A word [absolutely: often used in this sense in lexicons &c.]. (Kull.) b5: A dialect, an idiom, or a mode of expression, peculiar to certain of the Arabs: pl. [of pauc.]

أَحْرُفٌ: so in the saying (of Mohammad, TA) نَزَلَ القُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ The Kur-án has been revealed according to seven dialects, of the dialects of the Arabs: (A'Obeyd, Az, IAth, K:) or this means, according to seven modes, or manners, (Mgh, Msb,) of reading: whence فُلَانٌ يَقْرَأُ بِحَرْفِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ Such a one reads in the manner of reading of Ibn-Mes'ood. (Mgh.) A2: Applied to a she-camel, (assumed tropical:) Lean, or light of flesh; or lean, and lank in the belly; (S, K;) and firm, strong, or hardy; likened to the حَرْف of a mountain; (S;) or to the حرف of a sword, (Z, O, TA,) in respect of her leanness, or thinness, and her sharpness and effectiveness in pace; (Z, TA;) or to a letter of the alphabet, meaning the letter ا, in respect of her leanness: (TA:) or excellent, or high-bred, or strong and light and swift, sharp and effective in pace, rendered lean by journeyings; likened to the حرف of a sword: (L:) or emaciated: (S, K:) so As used to say: (S:) but this is inconsistent with Dhu-r-Rummeh's description of a she-camel by the epithets جُمَالِيَّةٌ حَرْفٌ سِنَادٌ: (TA:) [see حَرِيثَةٌ:] or [in the CK “ and ”] great; big; of great size; (K, TA;) likened to the حرف of a mountain: (TA:) it is applied only to a she-camel: one may not say جَمَلٌ حَرْفٌ. (IAar, TA.) حُرْفٌ and ↓ حِرْفَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ حُرْفَةٌ (Mgh, K) and ↓ حِرَافٌ (TA) Ill-fatedness; privation of prosperity; or the being denied prosperity; syn. حِرْمَانٌ [as inf. n. of حُرِمَ]: (K, TA:) lack of good fortune, so that one has no increase of his cattle or other property: (S:) debarment from the means of subsistence. (Mgh.)
