دِمْيَاطُ:
مدينة قديمة بين تنّيس ومصر على زاوية بين بحر الروم الملح والنيل، مخصوصة بالهواء الطيب وعمل ثياب الشرب الفائق، وهي ثغر من ثغور الإسلام، جاء في الحديث عن عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، أنه قال: قال رسول الله، صلى الله
عليه وسلم: يا عمر إنه سيفتح على يديك بمصر ثغران الإسكندرية ودمياط، فأما الإسكندرية فخرابها من البربر، وأما دمياط فهم صفوة من شهداء من رابطها ليلة كان معي في حظيرة القدس مع النبيّين والشهداء، ومن شمالي دمياط يصبّ ماء النيل إلى البحر الملح في موضع يقال له الأشتوم، عرض النيل هناك نحو مائة ذراع، وعليه من جانبيه برجان بينهما سلسلة حديد عليها حرس لا يخرج مركب إلى البحر الملح ولا يدخل إلّا بإذن، ومن قبلها خليج يأخذ من بحرها سمت القبلة إلى تنّيس، وعلى سورها محارس ورباطات، قال الحسن بن محمد المهلبي: ومن طريف أمر دمياط وتنيس أنّ الحاكة بها الذين يعملون هذه الثياب الرفيعة قبط من سفلة الناس وأوضعهم وأخسهم مطعما ومشربا، وأكثر أكلهم السمك المملوح والطريّ والصّير المنتن، وأكثرهم يأكل ولا يغسّل يده ثم يعود إلى تلك الثياب الرفيعة الجليلة القدر فيبطش بها ويعمل في غزولها ثم ينقطع الثوب فلا يشك مقلّبه للابتياع أنه قد بخر بالندّ، قال:
ومن طريف أمر دمياط في قبليّها على الخليج مستعمل فيه غرف تعرف بالمعامل، يستأجرها الحاكة لعمل ثياب الشرب فلا تكاد تنجب إلّا بها، فإن عمل بها ثوب وبقي منه شبر ونقل إلى غير هذه المعامل علم بذلك السمسار المبتاع للثوب فينقص من ثمنه لاختلاف جوهر الثوب عليه، وقال ابن زولاق: يعمل بدمياط القصب البلخي من كل فنّ، والشرب لا يشارك تنيس في شيء من عملها، وبينهما مسيرة نصف نهار، ويبلغ الثوب الأبيض بدمياط وليس فيه ذهب ثلاثمائة دينار، ولا يعمل بدمياط مصبوغ ولا بتنيس أبيض، وهما حاضرتا البحر، وبهما من صيد السمك والطير والحيتان ما ليس في بلد، وأخبرني بعض وجوه التجار وثقاتهم أنه بيع في سنة 398 حلّتان دمياطيتان بثلاثة آلاف دينار، وهذا مما لم يسمع بمثله في بلد، وبها الفرش القلموني من كل لون المعلم والمطرّز ومناشف الأبدان والأرجل، وتتحف لجميع ملوك الأرض، وفي أيام المتوكل سنة 238 وولاية عنبسة بن إسحاق الضبي على مصر تهجّم الروم على دمياط في يوم عرفة فملكوها وما فيها وقتلوا بها جمعا كثيرا من المسلمين وسبوا النساء والأطفال وأهل الذمة فنفر إليهم عنبسة بن إسحاق عشية يوم النحر في جيشه ومعه نفر كثير من الناس فلم يدركوهم ومضى الروم إلى تنيس فأقاموا بأشتومها فلم يتبعهم عنبسة، فقال يحيى بن الفضيل للمتوكل:
أترضى بأن يوطأ حريمك عنوة، ... وأن يستباح المسلمون ويحربوا؟
حمار أتى دمياط، والروم رتّب ... بتنيس، منه رأي عين وأقرب
مقيمون بالأشتوم يبغون مثل ما ... أصابوه من دمياط، والحرب ترتب
فما رام من دمياط سيرا، ولا درى ... من العجز ما يأتي وما يتجنّب
فلا تنسنا، إنا بدار مضيعة ... بمصر، وإن الدين قد كاد يذهب
فأمر المتوكل ببناء حصن دمياط، ولم يزل بعد في أيدي المسلمين إلى أن كان شهر ذي القعدة سنة 614 فإن الأفرنج قدموا من وراء البحر وأوقعوا بالملك العادل أبي بكر بن أيوب وهو نازل على بيسان فانهزم منهم إلى خسفين، فعاد الأفرنج إلى عكا فأقاموا بها أياما وخرجوا إلى الطور فحاصروه، وكان قد عمّر فيه الملك المعظم ابن الملك العادل قلعة
حصينة غرم فيها مالا وافرا، فحاصروه مدة فقتل عليه أمير من أمراء المسلمين يعرف ببدر الدين محمد ابن أبي القاسم الهكّاري وقتل كند من أكناد الأفرنج كبير مشهور فيهم، فتشاءموا بالمقام على الطور ورجعوا إلى عكا واختلفوا هناك، فقال ملك الهنكر: الرأي أنا نمضي إلى دمشق ونحاصرها فإذا أخذناها فقد ملكنا الشام، فقال الملك النّوّام، قالوا: إنما سمي بذلك لأنه كان إذا نازل حصنا نام عليه حتى يأخذه أي أنه كان صبورا على حصار القلاع، واسمه دستريج ومعناه المعلم بالريش لأن أعلامه كانت الريش، فقال: نمضي إلى مصر فإن العساكر مجتمعة عند العادل ومصر خالية، فأدّى هذا الاختلاف إلى انصراف ملك الهنكر مغاضبا إلى بلده، فتوجه باقي عساكرهم إلى دمياط فوصلوها في أيام من صفر سنة 615 والعادل نازل على خربة اللّصوص بالشام وقد وجه بعض عساكره إلى مصر، وكان ابنه الملك الــأشرف موسى بن العادل نازلا على مجمع المروج بين سلمية وحمص خوفا من عادية تكون منهم من هذه الجهة، واتفق خروج ملك الروم ابن قليج ارسلان إلى نواحي حلب وأخذ منها ثلاثة حصون عظيمة: رعبان وتل باشر وبرج الرّصاص، كلها في ربيع الأول من السنة، وبلغ عسكره إلى حدود بزاعة، وانتهى ذلك إلى الملك الــأشرف فجاء فيمن انضم إليه من عساكر حلب فواقعه بين منبج وبزاعة فكسره وأسر أعيان عسكره ثم من عليهم وذلك في ربيع الآخر، وبلغ خبر ذلك إلى ملك الروم وهو قيقاوس بن قليج أرسلان وهو نازل على منبج فقلق لذلك حتى قال من شاهده إنه رآه يختلج كالمحموم ثم تقيّأ شيئا شبيها بالدم ورحل من فوره راجعا إلى بلده والعساكر تتبعه، وكان انفصاله في الحادي عشر من جمادى الأولى سنة 615، وقد استكمل شهرين بوروده، واستعبد على الفور تل باشر ورعبان وبرج اللصوص، ورجع إليه أصحابه الذين كانوا مقيمين بهذه الحصون الثلاثة وكانوا قد سلموها بالأمان، جمع منهم متقدما وتركهم في بيت من بيوت ربض ترتوش وأضرم فيه النار فاحترقوا، وكان فيهم ولد إبراهيم خوانسلار صاحب مرعش، فرجع إلى بلده وأقام يسيرا ومات واستولى على ملكه أخوه وكان في حبسه، ولما استرجع الملك الــأشرف من هذه الحصون الثلاثة ورجع قاصدا إلى حلب ودخل في حدها ورد عليه الخبر بوفاة أبيه الملك العادل أبي بكر بن أيوب، وكانت وفاته بمنزلة على خربة اللصوص وإنما كانت في يوم الأحد السابع من جمادى الأولى سنة 615، فكتم ذلك ولم يظهره إلى أن نزل بظاهر حلب وخرج الناس للعزاء ثلاثة أيام، وأما الأفرنج فإنهم نزلوا على دمياط في صفر سنة 15 وأقاموا عليها إلى السابع والعشرين من شعبان سنة 16 وملكوها بعد جوع وبلاء كان في أهلها وسبوهم، فحينئذ أنفذ الملك المعظم وخرّب بيت المقدس وبيع ما كان فيها من الحليّ وجلا أهلها، وبلغ ذلك الملك الــأشرف فمضى إلى الموصل لإصلاح خلل كان فيه بين لؤلؤ ومظفّر الدين بن زين الدين، فلما صلح ما بينهما توجه إليها وكان أخوه الملك الكامل بإزاء الأفرنج في هذه المدة، فقدمها الملك الــأشرف وانتزعها من أيديهم في رجب سنة 18 ومنّوا على الأفرنج بعد حصولهم في أيديهم، وكان قد وصل في هذا الوقت كند من وراء البحر وحصل في دمياط وخافوا إن لم يمنّوا على الأفرنج أن يتخذوا بحصول ذلك الكند الواصل شغل قلب فصانعوهم بنفوسهم عن دمياط فعادت إلى المسلمين.
وطول دمياط ثلاث وخمسون درجة ونصف وربع، وعرضها إحدى وثلاثون درجة وربع وسدس، وينسب إلى دمياط جماعة، منهم: بكر بن سهل ابن إسماعيل بن نافع أبو محمد الدمياطي مولى بني هاشم، سمع بدمشق صفوان بن صالح، وببيروت سليمان بن أبي كريمة البيروتي، وبمصر أبا صالح عبد الله ابن صالح كاتب الليث وعبد الله بن يوسف التنيسي وغيرهم، وروى عنه أبو العباس الأصمّ وأبو جعفر الطحاوي الطبراني وجماعة سواهم، قال أبو سليمان ابن زبر: مات بدمياط في ربيع الأول سنة 289، وذكر غير ابن زبر أنه توفي بالرملة بعد عوده من الحجّ، وأن مولده سنة 196.

حِبْلةُ:
بالكسر ثم السكون، ذو جبلة: مدينة باليمن تحت جبل صبر، وتسمّى ذات النهرين، وهي من أحسن مدن اليمن وأنزهها وأطيبها قال عمارة: جبلة رجل يهوديّ كان يبيع الفخّار في الموضع الذي بنت فيه الحرّة الصّليحية دار العروبة، وسمّيت باسمها، وكان أول من اختطّها عبد الله بن محمد الصليحي المقتول بيد الأحول مع الداعي يوم المهجم في سنة 473، وكان أخوه عليّ ولّاه حصن التّعكر، وهذا الحصن على الجبل المطلّ على ذي جبلة، وهي فى سفحه، وهي مدينة بين نهرين جاريين في الصيف والشتاء، وكان عبد الله بن محمد الصليحي قد اختطّها في سنة 458، وحشر إليها الرعايا من مخلاف جعفر وقال علي بن محمد بن زياد المازني: وكانت ذو جبلة للمنصور بن المفضل أحد ملوك آل الصليح فأخذها منه الداعي محمد بن سبا، فقال:
بذي جبلة شوقي إليك، وإنها ... لتطهر بالشيخ الذي ليس يعمر
عوائد للغيد الغواني، فإنها ... عن الشيخ نحو ابن الثلاثين تنفر
وكان بذي جبلة الفقيه عبد الله بن أحمد بن أسعد المقري صنّف كتابا في القراءات السبع، وكان أبوه فقيها قال القاضي مسلم بن إبراهيم قاضي صنعاء:
حدثني عبد الله بن أحمد قال: رأيت في المنام قائلا يقول لي كلّم السلطان، فخرجت وتبعني أبي سريعا، قال: وتأويل هذه أني أموت وسيموت أبي بعدي، قال: فمات ومات أبوه بعده بثلاثة أيام حزنا عليه، وصنف أيضا كتابا في الحديث جمع فيه بين الكتب الخمسة الصحاح، وأوصى عند موته بغسل تلك الكتب فغسلت ومن ذي جبلة أيضا الفقيه أبو الفضائل بن منصور بن أبي الفضائل، كان رجلا صالحا فقيها، صنف كتابا ردّ فيه على الشريف عبد الله بن حمزة الخارجي، واعترض فيه على ألفاظه ولحّنه في كثير منها وزيّف جميع ما احتجّ به، فلما وصل الكتاب إلى الشريف الخارجي أجاب عن الشريف حميد ابن الأنف، ولما وصل كتابه إلى الفقيه أبي الفضائل صنف كتابا آخر في الردّ عليه، ومات أبو الفضائل بذي جبلة في أيام أتابك سنقر في نحو سنة 590 وبذي جبلة توفي القاضي الــأشرف أبو الفضائل يوسف ابن إبراهيم بن عبد الواحد الشيباني التيمي القفطي في
جمادى الآخرة سنة 624، ومولده في غرّة سنة 548 بقفط، وهو والد الوزير القاضي الأكرم أبي الحسن عليّ بن يوسف وأخيه القاضي المؤيد أبي إسحاق إبراهيم، وكان الــأشرف قد خرج من قفط في سنة 572 في الفتنة التي كانت بها بسبب الإمام الذي أقاموه، وكان من بني عبد القرى الداعي، وادّعى أنه داود بن العاضد فيها، فأنفذ الملك صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب أخاه الملك العادل أبا بكر فقتل من أهل فقط نحو ثلاثة آلاف وصلبهم على شجرهم بظاهر قفط بعمائمهم وطيالستهم، وخدم الــأشرف في عدّة خدم سلطانية منها بالصعيد ثم النظر في بلبيس ونواحيها ثم النظر في البيت المقدس ونواحيه، وناب عن القاضي الفاضل في كتابة الإنشاء بحضرة السلطان صلاح الدين، ثم توحّش من العادل ووزيره ابن شكر فقدم حرّان واستوزره الملك الــأشرف موسى بن العادل ثم سأله الإذن له في الحج، فأذن له وجهّزه أحسن جهاز على أن يحج ويعود، فلما حصل بمكة امتنع من العود ودخل اليمن فاستوزره أتابك سنقر في سنة 602، ثم ترك الخدمة وانقطع بذي جبلة ورزقه دارّ عليه إلى أن مات في الوقت المذكور، وكان أديبا فاضلا مليح الخط محبّا للعلم والكتب واقتنائها ذا دين مبين وكرم وعربيّة.

1 طَلَّتِ السَّمَآءُ الأَرْضَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. طَلٌّ, The sky rained small rain upon the earth, or land. (MA.) And طُلَّتِ الأَرْضُ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) [meaning, as is implied in the S and O, The earth, or land, was rained upon by the weakest of rain; or was rained upon, or bedewed, by the طَلّ, q. v.; or] the طَلّ descended upon the earth, or land: (K:) and طَلَّهَا النَّدَى [The rain, or dew, moistened it]: (S, O, TA:) and طَلَّت, with fet-h, signifies [accord. to some] It became moist, or moistened: one says, طُلَّتْ بِلَادُكَ, and طَلَّتْ; the former meaning May thy countries, or tracts of country, be rained upon; and the latter, become moist, or moistened: or, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, [i. e. Zj,] طُلَّتْ only, with damm; [and he adds,] one says, رَحُبَتْ بِلَادُكَ وَطُلَّتْ, with damm, [i. e. May thy tracts of country be spacious to thee, and be moistened by the طَلّ, (or, as in art. رحب in the TA, أَرْحَبَتْ عَلَيْكَ وَطُلَّتْ)], not طَلَّتْ; because the طَلّ is not from them, [i. e. it is not from the tracts of country,] but they are the objects thereof. (TA.) [Golius mentions, among the significations of طَلَّ, as on the authority of Z, i. q. رحب, said of land, or the earth, and followed by على relating to a person: but I think it most probable that he inferred this signification from his finding, in a copy of the A, the phrase رَحُبَتْ عَلَيْكَ الأَرْصُ وَطَلَّتْ (for وَطُلَّتْ), without any explanation. And Freytag mentions ↓ أُطِلَّ as meaning It was watered by fine rain; from the Deewán of the Hudhalees.] And [it is said that] طَلَّتِ السَّمَآءُ signifies اِشْتَدَّ وَقْعُهَا [i. e.

(Az, S, O, Msb, K.) And طُلَّ دَمُهُ His blood was made to go for nought, &c.; (Az, S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) as also دَمُهُ ↓ أُطِلَّ: (Az, S, O, Msb, K:) and طَلَّ دَمُهُ, (S, O, Msb, K,) with fet-h, accord. to Ks and AO, (S, O, Msb,) aor. ـُ [contr. to analogy], (Msb,) or طَلِّ [agreeably with analogy]; (K;) and طَلَّ, originally طَلِلَ, (Msb, K, *) aor. ـَ (Msb, K;) [his blood went for nought, &c.;] but this is disallowed by Az; (S, O, Msb;) and it is more commonly with damm. (K.) b2: And طَلَّهُ حَقَّهُ, aor. ـُ He diminished, or impaired, to him his right, or due; or deprived, or defrauded him of it, partly, or wholly: (K, TA:) or, accord. to Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, (TA,) he denied him, or refused him, his right, or due; (K, TA;) and withheld it [from him]: (TA:) and he annulled it; or made it to go for nought, as a thing of no account, or as a thing that had perished or become lost. (K, TA.) You say, طَلُّوا فُلَانًا حَقَّهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. طَلٌّ, They denied, or refused, such a one his right, or due: so says Khálid Ibn-Jembeh. (O.) b3: And طَلَّ غَرِيمَهُ, (K,) aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. طَلٌّ, (O, K,) He delayed, or deferred, with his creditor, or put him off, by promising time after time to pay him. (O, * K.) b4: and طَلٌّ signifies also The driving of camels roughly, or rigorously. (K.) You say, طَلَّ الإِبِلَ, inf. n. طَلٌّ, He drove the camels roughly, or rigorously! (TK.) A3: طَلَّ, [sec. Pers\. طَلِلْتَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. طَلَالَةٌ; like مَلَّ, [sec. Pers\. مَلِلْتَ, aor. ـَ (K, TA,) inf. n. مَلَالَةٌ; (TA;) [accord. to Freytag, followed by لَهُ, and in the Deewán of the Hudhalees by إِلَيْهِ; and so, accord. to him, ↓ استطلّ, followed by لَهُ;] He, or it, was, or became, pleasing, (K, TA,) and goodly. (TA.) A4: And طَلَّهُ, (K,) inf. n. طَلٌّ, (TA,) is also syn. with طَلَاهُ: (K:) so in the phrase طَلَّهُ بِالوَرْسِ [He smeared it, or rubbed it over, with ورس, q. v.]; namely, a thing.

عَلَيْهِ بِطَلَلِهِ, i. e. بِشَخْصِهِ [meaning he looked upon it, &c., with his body; not in imagination]; (Er-Rághib, TA;) and ↓ استطلّ signifies the same: (K:) and so أَطَفَّ عليه. (O in art. طف.) [See also 6.] Hence, in a trad., the saying of Safeeyeh the daughter of 'Abd-El-Muttalib, فَأَطَلَّ عَلَيْنَا يَهُودِىٌّ فَقُمْتُ فَضَرَبْتُ رَأْسَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ ثُمَّ رَمَيْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ [And a Jew looked upon us, and I arose, and smote off his head with the sword, then cast it upon them].

(Msb.) b3: and اطلّ عَلَى حَقِّى فَذَهَبَ بِهِ (assumed tropical:) He got possession of my right, or due, and took it away, or went away with it. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.)

(TA.) 5 هٰذِهِ الأَرْضُ قَدْ تَطَلَّلَتْ This land has produced herbage, and become replete, [for تَخَيَّرَتْ (to which I cannot assign any apposite meaning), in my original, I read تَحَيَّرَتْ,] and has not been trodden by any one: so says AA. (O.) 6 تَطَالَّ (S, O, in the K in art. طول written تَطَالَلَ,) إِلَى الشَّىْءِ (O) He stretched out his neck, looking at the thing, it being far from him: (S, O:) or he stretched out his neck to look: (TA in art. دمخ:) or تَطَالَلْتُ signifies I stood upon my toes, and stretched my stature, to look at a thing, (تَطَاوَلْتُ, K, TA, both of these verbs meaning thus, TA in art. طول,) and looked: (K, TA:) or, accord. to AA, التَّطَالُّ signifies the looking from above a place, or from a curtain or the like. (TA.) [See an ex. in a verse cited in art. شرف, conj. 10: and see also 4 in the present art.]10 إِسْتَطْلَ3َ see 4. b2: استطلّ الفَرَسُ بِذَنَبِهِ is expl. by Ibn-'Abbád as signifying مَرَّمُطِلًّا بِهِ إِذَا نَاصَبَهُ فِى

(TA.) b2: طفّف, said of a bird, [or ↓ طَفَّ, mentioned by Freytag from Hamaker's Specim. catal. p. 49, 1. 4, of the Arabic text, or both may be correct,] The bird expanded his wings: (O, K:) so says Ibn-'Abbád. (O.) b3: And طفّف بِهِ الفَرَسُ (tropical:) The horse leaped with him. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.

(TA.) b2: And i. q. مَكَّنَهُ. (TA.) [You say, مَكَّنَهُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ, and app., in like manner, اطفّهُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ, i. e.
