أ1 خَطڤاَخَطِئَ is syn. with ↓ اخطأ, inf. n. إِخْطَآءٌ and ↓ خَاطِئَةٌ, (K,) which latter, mentioned by AAF, on the authority of Az, is extr. in the case of a triliteral [unaugmented] verb, and more so in the case of a quadriliteral [i. e. a triliteral augmented by one letter]; (TA;) and with ↓ تخطّأ; signifying He did wrong; or committed a mistake, or an error: (K:) [and if this and similar explanations be correct, خَطَأْ may be an inf. n. of the first of these verbs, and a quasi-inf. n. of the second and third:] or ↓ اخطأ and ↓ تخطّأ have this signification: (S:) and خَطِئَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. خِطْءٌ and خِطْأَةٌ, (S, K,) signifies he committed a sin, a crime, or an act of disobedience for which he deserved punishment: (S, K: *) or he committed a fault or an offence or an act of disobe dience [in an absolute sense]: (K, * TA:) or, accord. to AO, (Msb,) or A' Obeyd, (TA,) خَطِئَ, inf. n. خِطْءٌ, signifies he committed a fault, an offence, or an act of disobedience, unintentionally; as also ↓ اخطأ: (Msb, TA:) or, as others say, خَطِئَ means [he committed a fault, &c.,] in religion; and ↓ اخطأ, in anything; intentionally or unintentionally: (Msb:) خَطِئَ, in religion; and ↓ اخطأ, in calculation [&c.]: (As, M, TA:) or, accord. to Ibn-'Arafeh, (TA,) you say, خَطِئَ فِى دِينِهِ, (K, TA, [in a MS. copy of the K and in the CK, * فى ذَنْبِهِ,]) and ↓ اخطأ, meaning he pursued a wrong way in his religion, intentionally or otherwise: (K, TA:) or خَطِئَ signifies he committed an act of disobedience intentionally; (Msb, TA;) so accord. to the 'Ináyeh, and the like is said in the A; (TA;) and ↓اخطأ, he did wrong, meaning to do right: (Az, Msb, TA:) [and this distinction is agreeable with general usage:] accord. to AHeyth, you say, خَطِئْتَ بِمَا صَنَعْتُهُ [Thou didst wrong, in that which thou didst,] intentionally; and ↓أَخْطَأْــتَ مَا صَنَعْتَهُ [or بِمَا صنعتة or فِيمَا صنعته Thou didst wrong, in that which thou didst,] unintentionally. (TA.) b2: See also 4, in two places.

A2: خَطَأَتِ القِدْرُ بِزَبَدِهَا, aor. ـَ (tropical:) The cooking-pot threw up its froth, or foam, or scum, (K, TA,) in boiling. (TA.) 2 خطّأهُ, (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَخْطِئَةٌ and تَخْطِىْءٌ, (S, K,) He said to him, أَخْطَأْــتَ [meaning Thou hast done wrong, or committed a mistake or an error]: (S, Msb, K:) or he pronounced him, or asserted him, to be doing wrong, or committing a mistake or an error. (Msb.) You say, إِنْ

أَخْطَأْــتُ فَخَطِّئْنِى [If I do wrong, &c., tell me that I have done so]. (S.) b2: Also He made it to miss: so in the saying, خَطَّأَ اللّٰهُ نَوْءَهَا God made, or may God make, its [i. e. a land's] star, or asterism, to miss; so that the rain which the star or asterism should have brought did not, or shall not, fall upon it. (TA.) This was [also] said by I'Ab [in a tropical sense] with reference to a woman, as an imprecation, in disapproval of her conduct. (Mgh.) As some relate this saying, the verb is خَطَّى, (Mgh, TA,) and the meaning, God made, or may God make, its [rain-giving] star or asterism, to pass it over, and not send rain upon it: and in this case it may be, (TA,) or it is, (Mgh,) from خَطِيطَةٌ, signifying “ a land not rained upon (Mgh, TA) between two lands that have been rained upon; ” (Mgh;) the verb being originally خَطَّطَ, and the final ط being changed into ى. (Mgh, TA. [See art خط.]) نَوْء is [here] the sing. of أَنْوَآءٌ meaning the “ Mansions of the Moon,” also called the “ stars, or asterisms, of rain. ” (Mgh.) [See more in the first paragraph of art. خط: and see also 4 in the present art.] Accord. to Fr, خَطَّى السَّهْمَ and خَطَّأَهُ are syn. [as meaning He made the arrow to pass over, or to miss, the mark]. (TA.) One says also, خُطِّئُ عَنْكَ السُّوْءُ [May evil be made to miss thee;] i. e. may evil be repelled from thee. (ISk.) And خَطَّأَ عَنْكَ السُّوْءُ [app. for ↓تَخَطَّأَ] Evil missed thee, or may evil miss thee. (Az.) 4 اخطأ, inf. n. إِخْطَآءٌ and خَاطِئَةٌ: see 1, in eight places. أَخْطَيْتُ, for أَخْطَأْــتُ, should not be said: (S:) it is a word of weak authority; or a mispronunciation: (K:) but some use it; (S, Sgh, TA;) because a change of this kind is generally allowed by some of the writers on inflection. (TA.) See also 5.

A2: اخطأهُ, (S, K,) which signifies, He [or it] missed, or failed of hitting, it [or him], (TA,) and ↓تخاطأهُ (S, K) and ↓تخطّأهُ (K) and لَهُ ↓تخطّأ (TA) [and ↓خَطِئَهُ, as will be seen from what follows,] are syn.

And اخطأ نَوْؤُهُ [(assumed tropical:) His star, or asterism, missed]; said of him who has sought an object of want and not succeeded in attaining it: (TA:) and to a person in this case one says, اخطأ نَوْؤُكَ [(assumed tropical:) Thy star, or asterism, has missed]. (Mgh. [See also 2.]) And اخطأهُ The right, or due, was, or became, [out of his reach,] or far from him. (Msb.) Owfà Ibn-Matar ElMázinee says, النَّبْلُ أَحْشَآءَهُ↓تَخَاطَأَتِ [meaning The arrows missed his bowels]. (S.) And AO, (S,) or A' Obeyd, (TA,) says that ↓خَطِئَ and اخطأ are syn.; citing, as an ex., the saying of Imra-el-Keys, يَا لَهْفَ هِنْدٍ إِذْ خَطِئْنَ كَاهِلَا (S, TA,) meaning [O the grief of Hind,] when they (the troop of horse) missed the sons of Káhil; (TA;) خطئن being here used in the sense of أَخْطَأْــنَ, (S, TA,) which latter, accord. to Az, is the more proper in this case. (TA.) A3: مَا أَخْطَأَــهُ is an expression of wonder [meaning How sinful, or criminal, or intentionally-disobedient, or intentionally-wrongdoing, is he !] from خَطِئَ, not from أَخْطَأَ. (S.) 5 تَخَطَّاَ see 1, in two places: b2: and see also 2, last sentence; and 4, in two places. b3: تخطّأ لَهُ فِى

[See also 2.]) 6 تخاطأ He imputed to himself a wrong action, a mistake, or an error, not having committed any. (KL. [See also 5.]) A2: See also 4, in two places.10 استخطأت She (a camel) did not conceive, or become pregnant. (TA. [See also the part. n., below.]) خَطْءٌ:see خَطَأٌ.

خِطْءٌ: see خَطِيْئَةٌ.

خَطَأٌ A wrong action; a mistake, or an error; contr. of صَوَابٌ; as also ↓خَطَآءٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓خَطْءٌ: (K:) accord. to some, it is syn. with خَطِيْئَةٌ and خِطْءٌ; and is an inf. n. used as a simple subst; but accord. to others, (TA,) it signifies an unintentional fault or offence or disobedience; (K, TA;) a subst. from أَخْطَأَ: (M, Msb: [see 1, first sentence:]) and accord. to the M, ↓خَطَآءٌ is a subst. from خَطِئ [and therefore syn. with خَطِيْئَةٌ accord. to the general acceptation of خَطِئَ]. (TA.) خطأة [so in the TA, app. خَطْأَةٌ,] A land which the rain misses, while it falls upon another near it. (TA. [See 2.]) خَطَآءٌ: see خَطَأٌ, in two places.

(L.) b2: خَطِيْئَةٌ يَوْمٌ and خَطِيْئَةٌ لَيْلَةٌ are expressions like طِيلٌ يَوْمٌ and طِيلٌ لَيْلَةٌ: you say, خَطِيْئَةٌ يَوْمٌ يَمُرُّ بِى إِلَّا أَرَى فِيهِ فُلَانًا [app. meaning It were a crime that a day should pass with me without my seeing in it such a one; or perhaps, it is a rare event that a day passes with me &c. : see what follows].

(TA.) خَاطِئٌ A man who constantly adheres to faults, offences, sins, crimes, or acts of disobedience for which he deserves punishment. (TA.) خَاطِئٌ Intentionally doing that which is not right; (El-Umawee, S;) intentionally pursuing a wrong way in his religion; (K;) intentionally doing that which he is forbidden to do. (Msb.) [See خَطِئَ, of which it is the part. n.] b2: [Also Missing the mark. Hence the saying,] مَعَ الخَوَاطِئِ سَهْمٌ صَائِبٌ [With those that miss is an arrow that goes right, or hits the mark]; (S, K;) خَوَاطِئُ being pl. of خَاطِئَةٌ, meaning that misses the butt: (Har p. 481:) a prov., (S,) applied to him who frequently errs, but sometimes does right; (S, K;) or to the niggard who sometimes gives notwithstanding his niggardliness. (A 'Obeyd.) خَاطِئَةٌ : see 1, first sentence.

مُخْطِئٌ [act. part. n. of 4, q. v.;] One who does wrong, meaning to do right. (El-Umawee, S.) مَتَخَطِّىٌ signifies the same as مُتَخَطٍّ, or nearly so: and hence the saying,] نَاقَتُكَ مِنَ المُتَخَطِّئَاتِ الجيف, (TA in the present art.,) or نَاقَتُكَ هٰذِهِ مِنَ المُتَخَطِّيَاتِ الجيف, [the last word being app. الجِيَفَ, and the lit. meaning, Thy she-camel, or this thy she-camel, is of those that step over the carcasses;] i. e. she is hardy and strong, such as will go on, and leave behind [others that have fallen down and died] (تخلف [so in the TA, app.تُخَلِّفُ,]) until she [herself] has fallen down (الى مأ سقطت). (Az, TA in art. خطو.) مُسْتَخْطِئَةٌ, applied to a she-camel, (tropical:) i. q. حَائِلٌ [i. e. Not conceiving, or not becoming pregnant during a year, or two years, or some years; &c.: see its verb, 10]. (K, TA.)

As relates, of an Arab of the desert, with whom some companions of his made an appointment to meet him in a certain place of the mosque, and to whom he broke his promise, that, being asked respecting that, he said, مَرَرْتُ بِكُمْ فَسَرِفْتُكُمْ, meaning [I passed by you and] I was unmindful of you. (S.) And hence the saying of Jereer, (S, TA,) praising the Benoo-Umeiyeh, (TA,) أَعْطَوْا هُنَيْدَةَ يَحْدُوهَا ثَمَانِيَةٌ مَا فِى عَطَائِهِمُ مِنٌّ وَلَا سَرَفُ meaning [They gave a hundred camels, eight persons driving them, or urging them by singing to them: there was not in their gift reproach for a benefit conferred, nor] unmindfulness: or the meaning is, nor missing (خَطَأٌ); that is, they did not miss the proper place of the gift by their giving it to such as did not deserve it and refusing it to the deserving.

(TA.) You say also, اسرف فِى مَالِهِ, meaning He was hasty in respect of his property, [i. e. in expending it,] without pursuing the just course, or keeping within due bounds. (M.) And اسرف فِى الكَلَامِ and فِى القَتْلِ He exceeded the due bounds, or just limits, in speech, and in slaying.

(Sh, TA.) b4: And Addictedness (ضَرَاوَةٌ, S, K, or لَهَجٌ M) to a thing, (M,) or in respect of wine. (K, TA.) It is said in a trad. (S, M) of 'Áïsheh, (TA,) إِنَّ لِلَّحْمِ سَرَفًا كَسَرَفِ الخَمْرِ [Verily there is an addictedness to flesh-meat like the addictedness to wine]: (S, M, TA:) i. e. he who is accustomed to it is addicted to the eating thereof, like as he who is constantly drinking wine is addicted thereto, having little selfrestraint therefrom: or the meaning here is unmindfulness [of consequences with respect to flesh-meat &c.]: or corruptness of conduct, arising from hardness of heart, and daringness to disobey, and self-impulsion to the gratification of appetite: (TA:) or it may be [that the meaning is, there is an extravagance with respect to flesh-meat &c.,] from الإِسْرَافُ (S, TA) in expenditure for that which is not needed, or otherwise than in obedience [to the law of God]. (TA.) b5: It is also said in a trad., لَا يَنْتَهِبُ الرَّجُلُ نُهْبَةً ذَاتَ سَرَفٍ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ, meaning, ذَاتَ شَرَفٍ وَقَدْرٍ كَبِيرٍ

(TA.) You say, of a camel, خَبَطَ الأَرْضَ, (Msb,) or خَبَطَ الأَرْضَ بِيَدِهِ, (S, K,) inf. n. as above, (S,) He struck, or beat, the ground with his fore foot: (S, Msb:) or he struck, or beat, vehemently the ground with his fore foot; and ↓ تخبّط and ↓ اختبط signify the same: (K:) it is said in the O that خَبَطَهُ signifies he struck him with his fore foot, or hand, and prostrated him, as also ↓ تخبّطهُ: and ↓ اختبط, said of a camel, is syn. with خَبَطَ: and in the T, that بِرِجْلِهِ ↓ تَخَبَّطَنِى is syn, with خَبَطَنِى. (TA.) Hence the trad., لَا تَخْبِطُوا خَبْطَ الجَمَلِ [lit. Ye shall not beat the ground as the camel does with his fore foot in rising]; meant to forbid a man's putting forward his foot in rising from prostration [in prayer]. (TA.) And خَبَطَهُ, (K, TA,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) signifies also He trod him, or it, vehemently, (K, TA,) as the camel does with his fore foot.

(S, TA.) It is a prov., applied to him who turns away from a thing as though he were not cognizant of it: or to him who is continually falling into a thing. (Har p. 239.) Zuheyr says, رَأَيْتُ المَنَايَا خَبْطَ عَشْوَآءَ مَنْ تُصِبْ تُمِتْهُ وَمَنْ تُخْطِئْ يُعَمَّرْ فَيَهْرَمِ I saw the fates [treading mankind] like the treading of the weak-sighted she-camel; whom they smote, him they killed: and whom they missed, he was made to continue in life so that he lived to extreme old age. (TA, and EM p. 132.) In like manner you say, فُلَانٌ يَخْبِطُ فِى عَمْيَآءَ (tropical:) Such a one undertakes what he undertakes with ignorance. (TA.) And خَبَطَ أَمْرَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ بَصيرَةٍ (assumed tropical:) [He prosecuted his affair without mental perception, or without certainty].

(TA.) b3: [And hence, perhaps,] خَبَطَهُ (tropical:) He asked of him a benefit, or favour, without any tie of relationship; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ اختبطهُ: (IB, K:) or this is from خَبْطُ وَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ [explained in what follows]: (Har p. 425:) or the latter, [or both,] he came to him seeking his beneficence without any such tie: (S:) or he came to him seeking a gift; because he who does so must beat the ground with his feet: (IF:) and you also say, مَعْرُوفَهُ ↓ اختبط. (Aboo-Málik, TA.) [The latter verb is the more common. See also 10.] b4: And (tropical:) He conferred a benefit upon him without there having been any acquaintance between them, (S, K, TA,) and without there being anything to draw them near, and without there being any relationship: (TA:) and خَبَطَهُ بِخَيْرِ signifies the same: (TA:) or he bestowed on him a benefit, (K, TA,) being asked: (TA:) and you say also, بِخَيْرٍ ↓ اختبطهُ: (Aboo-Málik, TA:) and خَبَطَ فِيهِمْ بِخَيْرٍ signifies (assumed tropical:) He benefited them. (TA.)

(TA.) Accord. to Az, خَبَطْتُ الرَّجُلَ, inf. n. خَبْطٌ, signifies (assumed tropical:) I held loving communion, commerce, or intercourse, with the man. (TA.) b5: [In respect of the places which I have given to the abovementioned significations of asking and conferring a benefit, I have followed the opinion of IF; but it is said in the TA, and, I think, with greater probability, that they are from what here next follows.] b6: خَبَطَ الوَرَقَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ, aor. ـِ (Msb,) inf. n. خَبْطٌ, (Lth, T, Msb,) He made the leaves to fall from the trees: (Msb:) or he beat the leaves of the trees, (Lth, T,) meaning large trees of the kind called طَلْح, [acacia, or mimosa, gummifera,] with a staff, or stick, (Lth,) so that they fell off, or became scattered, (Lth, T,) after which he gave them as food to camels; (Lth;) refrainfrom injuring thereby the trunks and branches of the trees: (T:) and لَهُ خَبَطًا ↓ اختبط signifies the same as خَبَطَ.

(TA.) The leaves are stored up for the camels; and in wintertime are bruised, or broken up, for them, and moistened with water, and given to them as fodder. (Har p. 218.) Mohammad was asked, Does الغَبْط [i. e. “ the wishing for a blessing on the condition that it shall not become transferred from its possessor ”] injure [its author]? and he answered, لَا إِلَّا كَمَا يَضُرُّ العِضَاهَ الخَبْطُ [No, save as the beating off the leaves injures the trees called 'idáh]; i. e., it only diminishes, without annulling, its author's recompense, like the beating off the leaves of the 'idáh, without cutting them down and extirpating them; for the leaves will grow again. (TA.) [See also art. غبط.] b7: Hence, (A, TA,) خَبَطَ القَوْمَ بِسَيْفِهِ (tropical:) He struck the people with his sword.

(TA.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 276], ↓ لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِى يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ (tropical:) [They shall not rise save as he riseth whom the devil prostrateth by reason of possession, or insanity]; i. e., as he who is affected by diabolical possession rises, in his state of possession, when he is prostrated, and falls: or it means, whom the devil corrupts, or disorders, by rendering him insane.

(L.) And (assumed tropical:) He (a man) slept. (A' Obeyd, TA.) In the K, قَامَ is erroneously put for نَامَ. (TA.) b10: خَبَطَ عَلَى البَابِ He knocked upon the door, or at the door.

(TA.) b9: Also, [as signifying (assumed tropical:) Vile, mean, or paltry,] applied to a thing: (TA in art. لقط:) [a thing] (assumed tropical:) falling short of the due, or just, mean.

And البَصْرَةُ مَسْقَطُ رَأْسِى (tropical:) [El-Basrah is my birth-place]. (M.) And هُوَ يَحِنُّ إِلَىمَسْقِطِهِ (tropical:) He yearns towards his birth-place.

كذب

1 كَذَبَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. كَذِبٌ (a strange form of inf. n.; there being, accord. to Kz., only fourteen instances of it; as لَعِبٌ, and ضَحِكٌ, &c.; though there are many substantives of this measure; MF) and كِذْبٌ (S, K: accord. to Ibn-Es-Seed and others, this latter is formed from the former, by putting the second vowel of the former in the place of the first: MF) and كَذِبَةٌ (L) or كَذْبَةٌ (K) and كِذْبَهٌ (L, K) and كِذَابٌ and كِذَّابٌ (K: but this last, which is also assigned to كَذَبَ in the L, is, accord. to the S, which refers, for proof, to the Kur, ch. lxxviii.

28, one of the inf. ns. of كذّب: and Ks says, that the people of El-Yemen make the inf. n. of فعّل of the measure فِعَّالٌ, while the other Arabs make it تَفْعِيلٌ: TA) and, accord. to some, كُذْبٌ and كَذْبٌ (TA: but the latter of these two, though agreeable with analogy, is unheard: TA): see also كَذِبٌ, below: [He lied; uttered a falsehood; said what was untrue:] he gave an untrue account, or relation, of a thing, whether intentionally or unintentionally. (Msb) الكَذِبُ is of five kinds. b2: First, The relater's changing, or altering, what he hears; and his relating; as from others, what he does not know. This is the kind that renders one criminal, and destroys manly virtue. — Second, The saying what resembles a lie, not meaning anything but the truth. Such is meant in the trad., كَذَبَ إِبْرٰهِيمُ ثَلَاثَ كَذِبَاتٍ

Abraham said three sayings resembling lies; he being veracious in the three. — Third, The saying what is untrue by mistake, or unintentionally; making a mistake; erring. This signification is frequent. — Fourth, The finding one's hopes false, or vain. — Fifth, The act of instigating, or inciting. (IAmb.) [See illustrations of these and other significations below; and see more voce صَدَقَ.] [You say] يَكْذِبُكَ مِنْ أَيْنَ جَاءَ [He will lie to thee even as to the place whence he comes.] (L, art. مح, and in many other places, following the similar phrase لَا يَصْدُقُكَ أَثَرَهُ, or أَثَرُهُ.) Lebeed says, اِكْذِبِ النَّفْسَ إِذَا حَدَّثْتَهَا Lie to the soul (i. e., to thy soul,) when thou talkest to it: i. e., say not to thy soul, Thou wilt not succeed in thine enterprise; for thy doing so will divert thee, or hinder thee, therefrom. A proverb. (Meyd, &c.) b3: كُذِبَ, pass., He was told a lie; a falsehood; or an untruth. (K.) b4: Aboo-Duwád says, كَذَبَ العَيْرُ وَإِنْ كَانَ بَرَحْ The wild ass hath lied, although he hath passed from right to left: [the doing which is esteemed unlucky:] or, [agreeably with explanations of كَذَبَ given below,] hath become languid, and within [the sportsman's] power, or reach, &c.: or keep to the wild ass, and hunt him, &c. A proverb, applied in the case of a thing that is hoped for, though difficult of attainment. (TA.) b5: كَذَبَتْ and ↓ كذّبت (tropical:) She (a camel), being covered by the stallion, raised her tail, and then returned without conceiving. (En-Nadr, K.) b6: كَذَبَ is said of other things than men [and animals]: as of lightning, [meaning (assumed tropical:) It gave a false promise of rain]: of a dream, an opinion, a hope, and a desire, [meaning, in each of these cases, (assumed tropical:) It proved false]. (TA.) b7: So also كَذَبَتِ العَيْنُ (assumed tropical:) The sense [i. e., the sight] of the eye deceived it. (TA.) b8: كَذَبَ الرَّأْىُ [(assumed tropical:) The judgment lied]; i. e., he imagined the thing contrary to its real state. (TA.) [See also صَدَقَ ظَنِّى] b9: كَذَبَتْكَ عَيْنُكَ (tropical:) Thine eye showed thee what had no reality. (TA.) b10: كَذَبَ لَبَنُ النَّاقَةِ, and ↓ كذّب, (the latter mentioned in the S,) (tropical:) The milk of the camel passed away, or failed. (Lh.) b11: كَذَبَ فِى سَيْرِهِ (tropical:) [He (a camel) became slack, or slow, in his pace: see 2]. (TA.) b12: كَذَبَ الحَرُّ (tropical:) The heat abated. (TA.) b13: See also 2. كَذَبَ He found his hopes to be false, or vain. (IAmb.) اُنْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى

أَنْفُسِهِمْ, [Kur vi. 24, lit., See how they lied against themselves,] is said to signify see how their hope hath proved false, or vain. (TA.) b14: ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا, [Kur xii. 110,] They (the apostles) thought that they had been disappointed of the fulfilment of the promise made to them. So accord. to one reading. Accord. to another reading, the verb is ↓ كُذِّبُوا: [in which case, the meaning of the words appears to be, “ They knew that they had been pronounced liars ” by the people to whom they were sent]. (TA.) There are also two other readings; ↓ كَذَّبُوا and كَذَبُوا: accord. to the former, the verb refers to the people to whom the apostles were sent; and ظنّوا means “ they knew: ” accord. to the latter, the words mean, “ They (the people above mentioned) thought that they (the apostles) had broken their promise. ” (Jel.) b15: مَا كَذَبَ الفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى [The mind did not belie what he saw.] (Kur liii. 11.) b16: كَذَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ [His soul lied to him:] his soul made him to desire things, and to conceive hopes, that could scarcely come to pass. (K.) Hence the soul is called الكَذُوبُ.

You say in the contr. case, صَذَقَتْهُ نفسه, and الكَذُوبُ. (TA.) See كَذُوبٌ, and art. صدق. b17: Hence, كَذَبَ عَلَيْهِ signifies It rendered him active, or brisk; animated him; instigated him; incited him; (K;) as also كَذَبَهُ. (Z.) b18: Hence, كَذَبَ and كَذَبَكَ and كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ have sometimes the same signification, though not always the same government, as عَلَيْكَ, or اِلْزَمْ; Keep to; or take to. The noun following is put in the nom. case accord. to the dial. of El-Yemen; and in the acc. accord. to the dial. of Mudar; or, as some say, is correctly put in the nom. only. (TA.) You say, كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا, meaning Keep to, or take to, such and such things. It is an extr. phrase. (ISk.) You also say, كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْكَ, meaning Keep thou to me: and كذبتُ عَلَيْكُمْ Keep ye to me. IAar. cites the following verse of Khidásh Ibn-Zuheyr, [in which he tauntingly compares a people to ticks]: كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَوْ عِدُونِى وَعَلِّلُوا بِىَ الأَرْضَ وَالأَقْوَامَ قِرْدَانَ مَوْظَبَا [Keep ye to me: threaten me, and soothe by (the mention of) me the land and the peoples, O ticks of Mowdhab!]: meaning Keep ye to me, and to satirizing me, when ye are on a journey, and traverse the land mentioning me. (TA.) In like manner, يَوْمُ الأَحَدِ والخَمِيسِ كَذَبَاكَ أَوْ يَوْمُ الإِثْنَيْنِ والثَّلَاثَاءِ, in a trad. respecting the proper days for being cupped, signifies Keep thou to Sunday and Thursday, or Monday and Tuesday. (IAth, Z.) The verb is thus used after the manner of a proverb, and is invariable [as to tense], being constantly in the pret. tense, connected [literally or virtually, when explained by عَلَيْكَ followed by the prep. ب, or by إِلْزَمْ,] only with the person addressed, and in the sense of the imperative. كذباك here [lit.] signifies Let them render thee active, or brisk, and animate thee, instigate thee, or incite thee. (Z.). [A trad. of 'Omar, quoted below, presents another instance to which this signification is said to apply.] b19: Or كَذَبَ denotes instigation, or incitement, of the person addressed, to keep to the thing that is mentioned; as in the saying of the Arabs, كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ العَسَلُ, meaning Eat thou honey: but the explanation of this is, (The relinquisher of) honey hath erred [to thee; i. e., in his representation of its evil qualites &c.; which is equivalent to saying, Eat, or keep to, honey]: العَسَلُ being put for تَارِكُ العَسَلِ. [See also 1 in art. عسل.] In like manner, the saying of 'Omar, كَذَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الحَجُّ &c., (see below,) signifies Keep ye to the performance of the pilgrimage, &c.: [or (the relinquisher of) the pilgrimage hath erred to thee in his representation of it: therefore it means as above]. (IAmb.) Accord. to IAmb the noun signifying the object of instigation [which may also be called the cause thereof] cannot be rightly put in the acc. case: if so put, the verb is without an agent. (TA.) [But see what is said on this point in the remarks on the trad. of 'Omar below.] b20: Or the verb in a case of this kind signifies أَمْكَنَ: thus, كَذَبَكَ الحَجُّ signifies The performance of the pilgrimage is possible, or practicable, to thee: therefore [it means] Perform thou the pilgrimage. (ISh.) b21: Or أَمْكَنَ is its original signification; and the meaning intended is Keep to; as in the ex. كَذَبَ العَتِيقُ. (Aal.) b22: 'Antarah, addressing his wife 'Ableh, says; or, accord. to some, the poet is Khuzaz Ibn-Lowdhán; كَذَبَ العَتِيقُ وَمَآءُ شَنٍّ بَارِدٌ

إِنْ كُنْتِ سَائِلَتِى غَبُوقًا فَاذْهَبِى (TA.) i. e., Keep thou to the eating of dates, and to the cool water of an old, worn-out, skin: if thou ask me for an evening's drink of milk, depart: for I have appropriated the milk to my colt, which is profitable to me, and may preserve me and thee: (L:) العتيق is in the nom. case accord. to the dial. of El-Yemen: but in the acc. accord. to that of Mudar. (TA.) b23: Er-Radee [reading العتيقَ] cites this verse as a proof that كَذَبَ, originally a verb, has become a verbal noun, signifying اِلْزَمْ. (TA.) But he is the only one who asserts it to be a verbal noun. (MF.) b24: Also, Mo'akkir El-Bárikee says, وَذُبْيَانِيَّةٍ أُوْصَتْ بَنِيهَا بِأَنْ كَذَبَ القَرَاطِفُ وَالقُرُوفُ And many a woman of Dhubyán charged her sons by [saying], Keep to the red garments (اكسية), and the bags (or receptacles) of leather tanned with pomegranate-bark. She charged them to take plenty of these two things as spoil from the tribe of Nemir, if they should prevail over them. (Aboo-'Obeyd El-Kásim Ibn-Selám.) b25: كذب is also said to have the same meaning in the words of the trad. كَذَبَ النَّسَّابُونَ [Keep to those skilled in genealogy:] or Regard is to be had to what is said by those skilled in genealogy: another meaning to which is assigned below. (TA.) b26: It sometimes signifies It is incumbent, or obligatory. So in the following: (a trad. of 'Omar: TA:) كَذَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الحَجُّ كَذَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ العُمْرَةُ كَذَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الجِهَادُ ثلَاثَةُ

أَسْفَارٍ كَذَبْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ [The performance of the pilgrimage is incumbent on you: the performance of (the rites called) العمرة is incumbent on you: warring (for the sake of religion) is incumbent on you: three expeditions are incumbent on you]: (S, * K:) or كذب, here, is from كَذَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ, “ his soul made him to desire things, and to conceive hopes, that could scarcely come to pass; ” and the meaning is let [the expectation of the reward which will follow] the performance of the pilgrimage render thee active, or brisk, and animate thee, instigate thee, or incite thee, to the act: [and so of the rest of the trad.: but here I should observe, that, for لِيَكْذِبَكَ and لِيُنَشِّطَكَ and يَبْعَثَكَ, in the CK, we should read لِيَكْذِبْكَ &c.:] (K:) b27: or, as ISk says, كذب, here, seems to denote instigation, or incitement, meaning عَلَيْكُمْ بِهِ keep ye to it; and is an extr. word with respect to analogy: (S:) b28: accord. to Akh., الحجّ is governed in the nom. case by كذب; but as to the meaning, it is in the acc.; because the meaning is a command to perform the pilgrimage; as when you say, أَمْكَنَكَ الصَّيْدُ [“ the game hath become within thy power, or reach ”], meaning “ shoot it, ” or “ cast at it: ” (S:) he who puts الحجّ in the acc. case, [agreeably with one relation of the trad., TA,] makes عليك [or عليكم] a verbal noun; and in كذب is [implied] the pronoun which refers to الحجّ [and which is the agent of the verb]; (K;) or the agent is implied in كذب, and explained by what follows it; (Sb;) [so that] the meaning is كَذَبَ الحَجُّ عَلَيْكُمُ الحَجَّ: (Z:) or, [as shown above,] كذب is a verbal n., meaning الْزَمْ, and الحجّ is in the acc. case as governed by it: (Er-Radee:) though its being in the acc. case, accord. to some, is altogether unknown: (TA:) b29: [or the meaning is as stated before on the authority of ISh.:] b30: or the trad. means كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ الحَجُّ إِنْ ذُكِرَ

أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ كَافٍ هَادِمٍ لِمَا قَبْلَهُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ [(the relinguisher of) the pilgrimage hath erred to thee if it have been spoken of (by him) as not sufficient, (and as not) abolishing the sins, or offences, (committed) before it: agreeably with the explanation by IAmb, given above]. (K.) b31: كَذَبَ He said what was false unintentionally; committed a mistake, or error. The verb is used in this sense by the people of El-Hijáz, and the rest of the Arabs have followed them in so using it. (Towsheeh.) A2: كَذَبَ is also said to signify He spoke truth; so as to bear two contr. meanings: and thus, كَذَبَ النَّسَّابُونَ may signify Those skilled in genealogy have spoken truth: but another explanation of this saying is given in this art. (MF, &c.) A3: كَذَبَتْ عَفَّاقَتُكَ [and the like] Thou brokest wind. (S in art. عفق.) 2 كذّبه, inf. n. تَكْذِيبٌ, (and كِذَّابٌ, TA, and تَكْذِبَةٌ [like تَجْرِبَةٌ &c.], occurring in the TA, voce لَهَبَةٌ, &c.) He made, or pronounced, him a liar; an utterer of falsehood; or a sayer of what was untrue: (K:) he attributed, or ascribed, to him lying, untruth, mendacity, or the speaking untruth: (Msb:) and (Msb) [accused him of lying:] he gave him the lie; said to him, “ Thou hast lied, ” &c. (S, Msb.) See also 4. b2: كذّب بِالأَمْرِ, inf. n. تَكْذِيبٌ and كِذَّابٌ (K: the latter inf. n. of the dial. of El-Yemen: Ks, Fr) and كِذَابٌ, (TA,) He rejected, disallowed, denied, disacknowledged, disbelieved in, or discredited, the thing; syn. أَنْكَرَهُ; (K;) as also كذّبهُ, and ↓ كَذَبَهُ. (Jel, liii. 11.) Ex. وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا [And they rejected our signs, with rejection: Kur, lxxviii. 28]. (S.) And كَذَّبَ الفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى, and ↓ كَذَبَ: see art. فأد, and see 1. b3: كذّب عَنْهُ (assumed tropical:) He repelled from him, [or defended him]; syn. رَدَّ عَنْهُ; namely, a man. (K.) [See exs. voce عوّى, in art. عو.]

A2: حَمَلَ فَمَا كَذّب, inf. n. تَكْذِيبٌ, (tropical:) He charged, and was not cowardly, (S, K,) and did not retreat. (TA.) حَمَلَ ثُمَّ كذّب He charge, and then was cowardly, or did not charge with earnestness, or sincerity: (S:) b2: or falsified the opinion formed of him: or made a false charge. (A.) كذّب عَنَ قِرْنِهِ He charged, and then retreated from his adversary. (Sh.) كذّب القِتَالَ He was cowardly in fight. التَّكْذِيبُ in fighting is the contr. of الصِّدْقُ. (TA.) b3: كذّب السَّيْرَ [He slackened his pace, or became slow, after giving promise of being quick;] he did not proceed in his journey with energy. (TA.) b4: مَا كَذَّبَ أَنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا (so in the TA, and in a MS. copy of the K: in the CK, and in two copies of the S, مَا كَذَبَ:) (tropical:) He did not delay to do so: (S, K:) he was not cowardly and weak, and did not delay to do so. (TA.) A3: كذّب عَنْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ أَرَادَهُ (tropical:) He abstained, or desisted, or drew back by reason of fear, from a thing that he had desired to do. (K.) b2: كذّب (and ↓ كَذَبَ, TA,) (assumed tropical:) He (a wild beast) took a run, and then stopped to see what was behind him, (K,) whether he were pursued or not. (TA.) 3 كَاذَبْتُهُ, inf. n. مُكَاذَبَةٌ and كِذَابٌ, I lied, &c., to him, and he to me. (K, * TA.) 4 اكذبهُ He found him a liar; an utterer of falsehood; or a sayer of what was untrue: (S, K:) or he said to him, “ Thou hast lied ”: &c.: (TA:) or this verb bears the former of these two significations, and ↓ كذّبه signifies the latter: (S:) or اكذبه signifies he shewed him that he had told a lie, &c.: (Zj:) or اكذبه signifies he announced that he had told, or related, a lie, &c.: and ↓ كذّبه, he announced his being a liar, &c.: (Ks, S:) or اكذبه and ↓ كذّبه are syn.: but the former sometimes signifies he incited, urged, or induced, him to lie, &c. (a signification assigned to it in the K): and sometimes, he made manifest, or proved, his lying, &c. (a signification also assigned to it in the K): and he found him a liar, &c. (Th, S, * TA.) A2: اكذب, inf. n. إِكْذَابٌ, (tropical:) He, being called to, or shouted to, remained silent, feigning to be asleep. (AA, K.) 5 تكدّب He affected lying: or he lied purposely (تَكَلَّفَ الكَذِبَ). (S, K.) He told a lie; [like كَذَب.] (MA, KL.) [See also an instance in which it is trans., meaning He spoke falsely, voce تزعّم.] b2: تكذّبهُ, (K,) and تكذّب عَلَيْهِ, (TA,) He asserted that he was a liar. (K.) Aboo-Bekr Es-Siddeek says, رَسُولٌ أَتَاهُمْ صَادِقًا فَتَكَذَّبُوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا لَسْتَ فِينَا بِمَا كِثِ

[An apostle came to them, speaking truth; but they brought a charge of lying against him, or asserted him to be a liar, and said, Thou shalt not stay among us]. (TA.) 6 تكاذبوا They lied, &c., one to another. (S.) See also تَصَادَقَا.

And اصاب اللّٰهُ الَّذِى أَرَادَ, said in a trad., in reply to a question respecting the interpretation of a text, means (assumed tropical:) God desireth, or meaneth, [thereby,] what He desireth, or meaneth. (TA.) and اصاب اللّٰهُ بِكَ خَيْرًا means أَرَادَهُ (tropical:) [i. e. May God intend thee good]. (A.) And اصاب alone (assumed tropical:) He desired, or intended, or meant, that which was right. (M, K. *) One says also, اصابهُ بِخَيْرٍ (assumed tropical:) [meaning He did good to him]. (El-Muärrij, TA in art. اسو.) [But] اصابهُ بِكَذَا, (M,) inf. n. إِصَابَةٌ, (K,) with which are syn. ↓ مُصَابٌ [in accordance with a usage generally allowable] (S, TA) and ↓ مُصَابَةٌ, (K, TA,) (assumed tropical:) [generally] means He afflicted him with, or by, such a thing; or gave pain to him thereby. (M, K: * in the latter, only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense; and so in other senses.) [Thus one says, اصابهُ بِشَرٍّ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with evil; or did evil to him: and اصابهُ بِمَكْرُوهٍ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with, or did to him, an abominable, or an evil, thing or action: and اصابهُ بِقَوْلٍ قَبِيحٍ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with, or said to him, a foul saying: and اصابهُ بِذَحْلٍ (assumed tropical:) He punished him by blood-revenge: and اصابهُ بِمَرَضٍ (assumed tropical:) He, (i. e. God,) or it, (a thing,) affected him with disease; or rendered him diseased: and in many similar cases, the phrase may be well rendered with a verb derived from the noun; like phrases in which “ affecit ” (a Latin equivalent of اصاب) occurs; as in “ honore affecit,” meaning “ honoravit. ”] El-Hárith Ibn-Khuld El-Makhzoomee says, رَجُلًا↓أَظُلَيْمُ إِنَّ مُصَابَكُمْ

أَهْدَى السَّلَامَ تَحِيَّةً ظُلْمُ (assumed tropical:) [O Dhuleymeh, verily your afflicting a man who has given the salutation of peace, greeting, is tyranny]: IB says that this verse is not of El-'Arjee, as El-Hareeree imagined it to be: the correct reading is أَظُلَيْمُ, as above: ظليم is an apocopated from of ظُلَيْمَةُ; which is the dim. of ظَلُوم: some read أَظَلُومُ: and some, أَسُلَيْمُ: [the verse is cited accord. to this last reading in the S:] رَجُلًا is governed in the accus. case by مُصَاب [as an inf. n.]: and ظُلْمُ is the enunciative of إِنَّ. (L, TA.) أَصَابَهُمُ الدَّهْرُ بِنُفُوسِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ (assumed tropical:) meansTime, or fate, afflicted them by destruction, or extirpation, among themselves and their cattle, or possessions. (M.) [In the K, الإِصَابةُ is expl. as signifying الاِحْتِيَاجُ: but the right reading is evidently الاِجْتِيَاحُ, as Ibr D has remarked in the margin of my copy of the TA; so that اصاب signifies (assumed tropical:) He destroyed, or extirpated; agreeably with an explanation in the sentence next preceding above, from the M.] مَنْ يُرِدِ اللّٰهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُصِبْ مِنْهُ, (assumed tropical:) occurring in a trad., means Him whom God intendeth good He trieth with afflictions, that He may recompense him for them. (TA.) And one says, مَا كُنْتُ مُصَابًا وَلَقَدْ أُصِبْتُ (assumed tropical:) [app. meaning I was not affected with weakness of intellect, or madness, and I have become affected therewith: see مُصَابٌ, below]. (IAar, TA.) 5 تصوّب [quasi-pass. of 2]: see 1, in three places. b2: Also It was, or became, lowered, or depressed; syn. تَسَفَّلَ. (A.) 6 تصاوب, accord. to Freytag, signifies He, or it, was well directed: but for this he names no authority.]7 إِنْصَوَبَ see 1, first sentence.10 اِسْتَصْوَبَهُ and اِسْتَصَابَهُ signify the same, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) (tropical:) He saw it, considered it, or held it, to be right; (M, Msb, TA;) namely, his deed, (S, Msb,) or his opinion, (M, TA,) or his saying: (A:) Th says, اِسْتَصَبْتُهُ is the regular form; but the Arabs say, اِسْتَصْوَبْتُ رَأْيَكَ. (M, TA. [See also 4, latter half.]) صَابٌ A certain species of tree, from which, when it is pressed, there issues what resembles milk, a drop of which sometimes spirts into the eye, producing an effect like that of a flame of fire, and in some instances weakening the sight: (M, TA:) or a certain kind of bitter tree; (As, T, M, K, TA;) one of which is termed ↓ صَابَةٌ: (M, K: * [in the latter it is said that صَابٌ is the pl. of صَابَةٌ; but properly speaking, the former is a coll. gen. n., and the latter is its n. un.:]) or the expressed juice of a kind of bitter tree: (S:) but accord. to the K, this is a mistake, though it is the saying of leading lexicologists: (TA:) or, as some say, the expressed juice of the صَبِر [or aloes]. (M.) صَوْبٌ an inf. n. used as a subst. (Msb) meaning Rain; (Lth, Msb;) and so ↓ صَيِّبٌ, which is originally [صَيْوِبٌ, i. e.] of the measure فَيْعِلٌ from الصَّوْبُ: (Bd in ii. 18:) or صَيِّبٌ is an epithet applied to clouds (غَيْمٌ, Sh, O, or سَحَابٌ, S, Msb) meaning having rain, (O,) i. q. ذُو صَوْبٍ: (S, Msb:) or صَوْبٌ and ↓ صَيِّبٌ and ↓ صَيُّوبٌ [the last of which is written in the CK صَيُوبٌ] all signify the same, (M, K,) as epithets applied to rain, meaning pouring forth: (M:) or ↓ صَيُّوبٌ, which is originally of the measure فَيْعُولٌ, [being altered from صَيْوُوبٌ,] means rain pouring forth much, or abundantly: (IDrd, O:) [↓ صَائِبٌ, also, is applied as an epithet to rain, like صَوْبٌ and صَيِّبٌ; and] in the phrase صِيبَانُ المَطَرِ, accord. to Abu-l-'Alà, صِيبَان is pl. of صَائِب; or it may be an inf. n., like حِرْمَان: and if one say ↓ صَيْبَان, with fet-h, the meaning is, what has poured forth of rain, notwithstanding the ى in it, for similar to this are رَيْحَان from الرَّوْح and عَيْدَان (meaning “ tall ” palm-trees) from العُوْد. (Ham p. 796.) A2: Also Course, or tendency; syn. قَصْدٌ: so in the saying, to one who is traversing a desert in uncertainty and has declined from the right way, أَقِمْ صَوْبَكَ [Rectify thy course]: and in the phrase فُلَانٌ مُسْتَقِيمُ الصَّوْبِ [Such a one is pursuing the right course], said of a person when he is not declining from his way to the right or left. (TA. [See also another ex. voce أَوْبٌ.]) b2: And A place, or point, of tendency or direction or bearing, syn. جِهَةٌ, (Msb, TA,) of a thing; (Msb;) and نَاحِيَةٌ [which means the same; and also a side; or a lateral, or an adjacent, part or tract of a thing; and in this sense صَوْبٌ is used in the present day]; and جَانِبٌ [which generally has the latter of these meanings].

[I went in to such a one, and lo, the deenárs were] a heap poured out without measure before him: (S, M, * A: *) or, as some relate the saying, الدِّينَارُ, which is thus used as a gen. n. (M.) صَيْبَانٌ: see صَوْبٌ.

(MF, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xxix. 67], وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ↓ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ CCC [And men are carried off by force from around them]. (TA.) b2: [And hence,] هٰذَا سَيْفٌ يَخْطَفُ الرَّأْسَ (tropical:) [This is a sword that will strike off the head]. (TA.) b3: And خَطِفَ البَصَرَ and خَطَفَهُ, said of lightning, (K,) and of a ray of light, and of a [glistening] sword, and of any polished body, (TA,) (tropical:) It took away the sight: (K, TA:) and ↓اُخْتُطِفَ بَصَرُهُ (tropical:) His sight was suddenly taken away. (M and K in art. ملس.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 19], يَكَادُ البَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ (tropical:) [The lightning almost taketh away their sight, lit. sights]: (TA:) Yoo read يَخْطِفُ ابصارهم; (S, TA;) and so did Aboo-Rejà and Mujáhid: and some read ↓يِخِطِّفُ, and ↓يَخَطِّفُ, originally يَخْتَطِفُ, accord. to the opinion of the Basrees, disputed by Fr, but confirmed by Zj. (TA.) b4: And خَطِفَ السَّمْعَ, (K,) aor. ـَ (S,) said of a devil, (tropical:) He stole [an opportunity of] hearing [the speech of the angels, from the confines of the lowest Heaven; or snatched it]; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓اختطفهُ: (K:) the two verbs being like نَزَعَهُ and اِنْتَزَعَهُ. (Sb, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xxxvii. 10], ↓إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الخَطْفَةَ (tropical:) Except him who steals the [opportunity of] hearing: (TA:) or who snatches unawares and by stealth, (Bd,) or hears and snatches, (Jel,) the speech of the angels: (Bd, Jel:) EL-Hasan read ↓ الّا من خَطَّفَ الخطفة, originally اخْتَطَفَ: (S, TA:) and another reading, ascribed to him and others, is ↓خِطِّفَ; but this is very weak. (TA.) b5: خَطِفَ, aor. ـَ and خَطَفَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. خَطَفَانٌ; (K;) thus in all the copies of the K, but correctly خَطْفٌ, as in the L; (TA;) said of a camel, (assumed tropical:) He went along quickly. (K, TA.) and مَرَّ يَخْطَفُ خَطْفًا مُنْكَرًا (assumed tropical:) He went along at a quick rate [such as was deemed strange, or disapproved]. (TA.)

(TA.) 2 خَطَّفَ see 1, first sentence.4 اخطف بِالأَمْرِ He said, Seize thou this [thing], O man; or take it, or carry it off, by force; or snatch it away. (Sgh.) A2: أَخْطَفَ لِى مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ سَكَتَ, inf. n. إِخْطَافٌ, (assumed tropical:) He cut short somewhat of his discourse, or narrative, which he had begun to me, on some other thing's occurring to his mind, and was silent.

(Lh, JK, O, K.) b4: اخطفهُ المَوْتُ (assumed tropical:) [Death missed him by a little;] he escaped death by a little. (JK.) And اخطف الرَّمِيَّةَ (assumed tropical:) He missed the animal at which he shot or cast, (JK, S, K,) nearly hitting it: (JK:) and in like manner, الشَّىْءَ the thing. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) And He captured, or caught, the animal at which he shot or cast; expl. by إِذَا كَانَ يَصِيدُهَا [perhaps a mistranscription for يُصِيبُهَا, and, if so, meaning he hit]. (JK.) And اخطف said of an arrow, (assumed tropical:) [It missed: or it fell upon the ground, and then glided along upon the ground to the butt, or object of aim: (see خَاطِفٌ:) and] it went straight. (TA.) b5: اخطف said of a man, (assumed tropical:) He became affected with a slight sickness, and then speedily recovered. (TA.) b6: أِخْطَافُ الحَشَا i. q. اِنْطِوَآؤُهُ [meaning (assumed tropical:) The state of being lean, or lank, in the belly: see مُخْطَفٌ]. (S, TA.) الأِخْطَافُ in horses is a fault: it is (assumed tropical:) The contr. of الاِنْتِفَاخُ: AHeyth says that it is, in horses, (assumed tropical:) smallness of the جَوْف [here meaning the belly, or abdomen]. (TA.) 5 تَخَطَّفَ see 1, in two places.6 تخاطفوا الكُرَةَ بَيْنَهُمْ [They contended together in snatching away the ball] with the goffsticks. (K * and TA in art. جحف.) 8 اختطف; and its variations خَطَّفَ and خِطِّفَ; and يِخِطِّفُ and يَخِطِّفُ, variations of its aor.: see 1, in seven places. b2: كَأَنَّهُ يَخْتَطِفُ فِى

مَشْيِهِ عُنُقَهُ, said of a swift camel, means As though he were straining, or stretching, (يَجْتَذِبُ,) in his going along, his neck. (S.) A2: See also 4.

(TA) خُطُفٌ: see what next precedes. b2: بِهِ خُطُفٌ (assumed tropical:) In him (namely, a man, JK) is madness, or diabolical possession; (JK, TA;) as also ↓ خُطَّفٌ: but this latter may be either a pl., like ضُرَّبٌ [pl. of ضَارِبٌ], or a sing. (TA.) خَطْفَةٌ A single act of seizing; or, of taking, or carrying off, by force: (TA:) or, of doing so quickly; of snatching away. (Mgh, Msb, TA.) Hence, [in a trad.,] accord. to one reading, نَهَى عَنْ كُلِّ ذِى خَطْفَةٍ, meaning He prohibited the prey of whatever snatches away the prey, and goes away with it, not withholding it for its owner: or, as some say, what snatches away with its talon, or claw: but the reading commonly known is, نَهَى عَنِ الخَطْفَةِ: (Mgh:) and الخَطْفَةُ signifies what the wolf, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) or the like, (Msb,) snatches away, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) of the limbs, or members, of a living sheep or goat, (Mgh, TA,) or of a living animal; (Msb;) or what the dog snatches away from the limbs, or members, of the animal of the chase, of flesh &c., while the animal is alive: (Mgh, TA:) or the limb, or member, which the beast or bird of prey seizes, or carries off by force, or which a man cuts off, from the beast that is alive: (K, TA:) for whatever is separated from the living animal, (Mgh, TA,) of flesh or fat, (TA,) is carrion, (Mgh, TA,) unlawful to be eaten: the prohibition originated from the Prophet's finding, when he came to El-Medeeneh, that the people loved and ate the humps of camels and the tails of sheep: (TA:) the reading الخَطَفَة, of the measure فَعَلَة, with fet-h to the medial radical letter, as pl. of خَاطِفٌ, is a mistake. (Mgh.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A single suck of a small quantity of milk quickly taken by a child from the breast. (TA.) b3: For its meaning in the Kur xxxvii. 10, see 1. b4: See also خُطْفٌ.

(Az, TA.) خُطَّفٌ: see خُطُفٌ.

الخَطَّافُ [lit. He that is wont to seize, &c.: and particularly (assumed tropical:) he that is wont to snatch, or steal, opportunities of hearing the speech of the angels, from the confines of the lowest Heaven: and hence.] applied in a trad. to (assumed tropical:) the Devil, or Satan: (S, TA:) or, as some say, it is in this instance ↓ الخُطَّافُ, as pl. of خَاطِفٌ, [and therefore meaning (assumed tropical:) the devils,] or as being likened to the hooked iron called خُطَّاف. (TA.) b2: أَبُو الخَطَّافِ a surname of The حِدَأَة [or kite].
