1 لَمَسَهُ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, M, Msb, K) and لَمِسَ, (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. لَمْسٌ, (S, M, Msb,) He felt it; or touched it; syn. مَسَّهُ: (IAar, Az, IDrd, El-Fárábee, A, Msb, TA:) or he felt it, or touched it, (مَسَّهُ,) with his hand: (S, Msb, K:) or he put his hand to it: (Msb:) or he felt it with his hand for the purpose of testing it, that he might form a judgment of it; syn. جَسَّهُ: (M, TA:) and ↓ لَامَسَهُ is syn. with لَمَسَهُ, (M, TA,) or مَاسَّهُ: (A:) لَمْسٌ and مَسٌّ both signify the perceiving by means of the exterior of the external skin: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or they are nearly alike: (TA:) [generally, like the English words feeling and touching, respectively:] or the former is, originally, [the feeling] with the hand for the purpose of knowing the feel (مَسّ) of a thing: (IDrd, Msb:) or, with the hand, it is the seeking for [or feeling for] a thing here and there: (Lth, TA:) مُلَامَسَةٌ is the same as مُمَاسَّةٌ (K, TA) with the hand; as also لَمْسٌ: (TA:) or a distinction is to be made between them; for it is said that لَمْسٌ is sometimes the feeling, or touching a thing with a thing; and is sometimes [for] the knowledge of a thing, though there be no touching (مَسّ) of substance upon substance; whereas ملامسة is mostly mutual feeling or touching, &c., being] the act of two. (IAar in TA.) b2: [Hence,] لَمَسَهَا, (M, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (M) [and لَمِسَ, as implied in the K], inf. n. لَمْسٌ, (S, M,) (tropical:) Inivit eam; (I'Ab, S, M, A, Msb, K;) scil. mulierem; (A, Msb;) puellam; (K;) as also ↓ لَامَسَهَا, (M, A, Msb,) inf. n. مُلَامَسَةٌ (I'Ab, S, Msb, K) and لِمَاسٌ: (I'Ab, Msb:) and (assumed tropical:) he kissed her; by doing which, as well as by the former, one renders necessary the performance of the ablution termed وضوء. ('Abd-Allah Ibn-'Amr, Ibn-Mes'ood.) b3: [Hence also,] لَمَسَهُ, aor. ـُ [and لَمِسَ], (A, TA,) inf. n. لَمْسٌ, (IDrd, Msb, TA,) (tropical:) He sought, [as though by feeling,] or sought for or after, it, namely, a thing, (IDrd, Msb, TA,) in any manner; (IDrd, Msb;) [as, for instance, by asking, or demanding;] as also ↓ التمسهُ, (S, M, A, * K, TA,) [which is more common,] and ↓ تلمّسهُ: (M, TA:) or this last signifies he sought it, or sought for or after it, repeatedly, or time after time. (S, K, TA.) You say, أُلْمُسْ لِى فُلَانًا (A, TA) (tropical:) Seek thou for me such a one. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur, [lxxii. 8,] relating the words of the jinn, or genii, إِنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَآءَ, (K, * TA, *) (tropical:) Verily we sought to reach heaven: or to learn the news thereof: (Bd:) or to hear by stealth what was said therein: (Jel:) or we laboured, or strove, after (عَالَجْنَا) the secrets of heaven, and sought to hear them by stealth. (K.) And in a trad., بِهِ عِلْمًا ↓ مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ (tropical:) Whoso pursueth a way whereby he seeketh after knowledge, or science. (TA.) And in another, of 'Áïsheh, عِقْدِى ↓ فَالْتَمَسْتُ (tropical:) And I sought for my necklace. (TA.) b4: لَمَسَ البَصَرَ, aor. ـُ (tropical:) It took away the sight. (A, TA.) And the same, or, accord. to one relation of a trad., ↓ التمسهُ, (assumed tropical:) It took away quickly, and destroyed, the sight; said there of certain serpents: or the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) it aimed at the eye with its bite: and لَمَسَ عَيْنَهُ is said to signify [(assumed tropical:) he, or it, put out his eye,] the same as سَمَلَ. (TA.) 3 لامسهُ, inf. n. مُلَامَسَةٌ and لِمَاسٌ: for its proper signification, see 1, in three places. [Hence,] بَيْعُ المُلَامَسَةِ, (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb,) and بَيْعُ اللِّمَاسِ, (Mgh,) or المُلَامَسَةُ فِى البَيْعِ, (K,) A mode of bargaining, which consists in saying, When thou feelest, or touchest, my garment, or I feel, or touch, thy garment, (A, K,) or when, (Mgh,) or if, (Msb,) I feel, or touch, thy garment, and thou feelest, or touchest, my garment, (Mgh, Msb,) or when I feel, or touch, the thing to be sold, (S,) the sale is binding, or settled, or concluded, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) between us, (S, Msb,) for such a sum: (S, Msb, K:) or, accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh, in thy saying, I will sell to thee this commodity for such a sum, and when I feel, or touch, thee, the sale is binding, or settled, or concluded; or in the purchaser's saying the like: (Mgh:) or, (M, Mgh, K,) as in the Sunan of Aboo-Dáwood, (Mgh,) in purchasing a commodity on the condition of feeling it (M, Mgh, * K, *) behind a garment or piece of cloth, (K,) without seeing it, (M, K,) or spreading it out and turning it over and examining it: (Mgh:) or on the condition that the feeling it with the hand shall cut one off from the choice of returning it: (TA:) the mode of bargaining thus termed is forbidden. (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb.) b2: For a tropical signification of the verb, see 1.4 أَلْمِسْنِى الجَارِيَةَ Permit thou me to feel, or touch, the girl. (A, TA.) b2: أَلْمِسْنِى امْرَأَْةً (tropical:) Marry thou to me a woman. (A, TA.) 5 تَلَمَّسَ see 1, in two places.8 إِلْتَمَسَ see 1, in four places.

(S, M, O, L.) لَمُوسَةٌ A road, or way: so called because he who has lost his way seeks it in order to find the track of the travellers. (K, * TA.) لَامِسٌ act. part. n. of 1. (Msb, &c.) One says, of a woman who commits adultery, or fornication, or acts viciously, فَلَانَةُ لَا تَرُدُّ يَدَ لَامِسٍ, (A, TA,) or لَا تَمْنَعُ يَدَ لَامِسٍ, (K,) but the latter is at variance with the written authorities, the former being the phrase commonly known, (TA,) [properly signifying, Such a woman does not repel the hand of a feeler;] meaning, (tropical:) such a woman commits adultery, or fornication, and acts viciously, (K, TA,) not repelling from herself any one who desires of her that he may lie with her; (TA;) and she is suspected of easiness, or compliance, (K, TA,) towards him who desires of her that he may lie with her: (TA:) or the meaning is, such a woman gives, of her husband's property, what is sought, or demanded, from her; and this is more probably meant in a trad. in which a man is related to have said thus of his wife; because Mohammad directed him to retain her, and did not require him to divorce her. (TA.) The like said of a man, (K,) فُلَانٌ لَا يَرُدُّ يَدَ لَامِسٍ, (A, Msb,) means, (tropical:) Such a man has in him no force of resistance, (A, Msb, K,) nor care of what is sacred, or inviolable. (TA.) مَلْمَسٌ [A place that is felt, or touched: and it may also be an inf. n.: see لَمِيسٌ].

(K.) Some have made a distinction between ذخر and دخر, saying that the former relates to the world to come, and the latter to the present world; but this is a manifest mistake.

(A.) b3: And أَعْمَالُ المُؤمِنِ ذَخَائِرُ (tropical:) [The works of the believer are things laid up for the time of need, i. e. the day of resurrection]. (A.) ذَاخِرٌ (assumed tropical:) Fat; as an epithet. (AA, K.) إِذْخِرٌ [A kind of sweet rush; juncus odoratus; or schœnanthum;] a certain plant, (S, Mgh, Msb,) or herb, (K,) well known, (Msb,) in form resembling the كَوْلَان [or papyrus-plant], (Mgh,) sweet-smelling, (K,) or of pungent odour; (Mgh, Msb;) which, when it dries, becomes white; (Msb;) used for roofing houses, over the wood, and for graves: (TA:) it has a root hidden in the ground, slender, pungent in odour; and is like the straight stalks of the كَوْلَان [or papyrus-plant], save that it is wider, and smaller in the كُعُوب [which means either the joints or the internodal portions]; and it has a fruit resembling the brooms of reeds, but more slender, and smaller: it is ground, and is an ingredient in perfumes: it grows in rugged and in smooth grounds; but seldom does more than one grow on the same spot: when it dries, it becomes white: (AHn:) 'Iyád asserts that its ء is a radical letter; but this is a mistake: (MF:) the n. un. is إِذْخِرَةٌ; (S;) which is applied to a single plant, (AHn,) or to a single fascicle thereof. (Mgh.) مِذْخَرٌ (tropical:) The [part of the intestines called] عَفَج: (TA:) [its pl.] مَذَاخِرُ is also explained as signifying the intestines; and bellies; (S, K;) and veins: (K:) or the lower part of the belly: (As, K:) or the parts of the inside of a beast in which he stores his fodder and water.

(TA.)
