نَهْرَوانُ:
وأكثر ما يجري على الألسنة بكسر النون، وهي ثلاثة نهروانات: الأعلى والأوسط والأسفل،
وهي كورة واسعة بين بغداد وواسط من الجانب الشرقي حدّها الأعلى متصل ببغداد وفيها عدة بلاد متوسطة، منها: إسكاف وجرجرايا والصافية ودير قنّى وغير ذلك، وكان بها وقعة لأمير المؤمنين علي ابن أبي طالب، رضي الله عنه، مع الخوارج مشهورة، وقد خرج منها جماعة من أهل العلم والأدب فمن كان من مدنها نسب إلى مدينة ومن كان من قراها الصغار نسب إلى الكورة، وهو نهر مبتدؤه قرب تامرّا أو حلوان، فإني لا أحققه ولم أر أحدا ذكره، وهو الآن خراب ومدنه وقراه تلال يراها الناس بها والحيطان قائمة، وكان سبب خرابه اختلاف السلاطين وقتال بعضهم بعضا في أيام السلجوقية إذ كان كل من ملك لا يحتفل بالعمارة إذ كان قصده أن يحوصل ويطير، وكان أيضا في ممر العساكر فجلا عنه أهله واستمرّ خرابه، وقد استشأم الملوك أيضا من تجديد حفر نهره وزعموا أنه ما شرع فيه أحد إلا مات قبل تمامه، وكان قد شرع فيه نهروان الخادم وغيره فمات وبقي على حاله، وكان من أجمل نواحي بغداد وأكثرها دخلا وأحسنها منظرا وأبهاها مخبرا، قال ابن الكلبي:
وفارس حفرت النهروان وكان اسمه نهروانا أي إن قلّ ماؤه عطش أهله وإن كثر غرقوا، وقال حمزة الأصبهاني: ويقبل من نواحي أذربيجان إلى جانب العراق واد جرّار فيسقي قرى كثيرة ثم ينصبّ ما بقي منه في دجلة أسفل المدائن، ولهذا النهر اسمان أحدهما فارسي والآخر سرياني، فالفارسي جوروان والسرياني تامرّا، فعرّب الاسم الفارسي فقيل نهروان والعامة يقولون نهروان، بكسر النون، على خطإ، وقرأت في كتاب ابن الكلبي في أنساب البلدان قال:
تامرّا ونهروان ابنا جوخي حفرا النهرين فنسبا إليهما، وقد ذكر أبو علي التنوخي في نشوراه خبرا في اشتقاق هذه اللفظة لا أرى يوافق لفظ ما ذكره أنه مشتق منه إلا أني ذكرت الخبر بطوله، قال أبو علي:
حدثني أبو الحسين بن أبي قيراط قال: سمعت علي بن عيسى الوزير يحدث دفعات أنه سمع أباه يحدّث عن جده عن مشايخ أهل العلم بأخبار الفرس وأيامهم، قالوا: معنى قولهم النهروان ثواب العمل، قالوا:
وإنما سمي النهروان بذلك لأن بعض الملوك الأكاسرة قد غلب عليه بعض حاشيته حتى دبر أكثر أمره وترقّت منزلته عنده وكان قبل ذلك من قبل صاحب المائدة مرسوما بإصلاح الألبان والكواميخ، وكان صاحب المائدة يتحسر كيف علت منزلة هذا وقد كان تابعا له وكان قد غلب على الملك، وكان مع ذلك الرجل يهوديّ ساحر حاذق فقال له اليهودي: ما لي أراك مهموما فحدّثني بأمرك لعلّ فرجك عندي، فحدثّه بأمره، فقال له اليهودي: إن رددتك إلى منزلتك ما لي عندك؟ فقال: أشاطرك حالي ونعمتي وجميع مالي، فتعاهدا على ذلك، فقال: أظهر وحشة بيننا وأنك قد صرفتني ظاهرا، ففعل ذلك به فسار اليهودي إلى الرجل الغالب على الملك فحدّثه وتقرّب إليه بما جرى عليه من الرجل الأول ولم يزل يحدثه مدة طويلة حتى أنس به ذلك الرجل فلقيه في بعض الأيام ومع غلامه غضارة من ذهب فيها شيراز في غاية الطيب يريد أن يقدمه إلى الملك، فقال له: أرني هذا الشيراز، فقال الرجل لغلامه: أره إياه، فأراه إياه فخاتل الرجل والغلام وأخذ بأعينهما بسحره وطرح في الشيراز قرطاسا كان فيه سمّ ساعة وغطا الغلام الغضارة ومضى ليقدّمها إذا قدّمت المائدة، فبادر اليهودي إلى صاحب المائدة الأول وقال: قد فرغت من القصة، وعرّفه ما عمل ووصف له الغضارة وقال له: امض الساعة إلى الملك وأخبره، فبادر الرجل ووجد المائدة تريد أن
تقدّم فقال: أيها الملك إن هذا يريد أن يسمّك في هذه الغضارة فإنه قد جعل فيها سمّ ساعة فلا تأكلها وجرّبها ليصحّ لك قولي، فقال الرجل: هذا إليّ وما بنا إلى تجربتها حاجة على حيوان، أنا آكل منه، فبادر فأكل منها لقمة فتلف في الحال لأنه لا يعلم بالقصة، فقال صاحب المائدة الأول: إنما أكل ليتلف أيها الملك لمّا علم أنك إذا جرّبته وصحّ عندك قتلته فقتل هو نفسه بيده واستراح من عذاب توقعه فيه، فلم يشكّ الملك في صحة قوله وردّ إليه مرتبته وزاد في إكرامه وعظمته، ومضت السنون على ذلك فاتفق أن عرض للملك علة كان يسهر لأجلها وكان يخرج بالليل ويطوف في صحون حجره ودوره وبساتينها ويستمع على أبواب حجر نسائه وغيرها، فانتهى ليلة في طوافه إلى حجرة الطباخ وفيها ذلك اليهودي وغلمانه وهو جالس يحدّث بعض أصحاب المطبخ ويتشكى إليه ويقول إنه يقصر في حقي وإنما أنا أصل نعمته وما هو فيه، فقال له المحدّث:
وكيف صرت أصل نعمته؟ فاستكتمه ما يحدثه به فضمن له ذلك فحدّثه بحديث الشيراز والسمّ، فلما سمع الملك ذلك قامت قيامته وأحضر الموبذ من غد وحدّثه بالحديث وشاوره فيما يعمل مما يزيل ذلك عنه إثم ذلك الفعل في معاده فأمره بقتل اليهودي وصاحب المائدة والإحسان إلى عقب الذي كان قتل نفسه ثم قال: ولا يزيل عنك إثم هذا إلا أن تطوف في عملك حتى تنتهي إلى بقعة خراب فتستحدث لها عمارة ونهرا وشربا فيعيش الناس بذلك في باقي الدهر فتكون كمن أحيا شيئا عوضا عمّن أماته فيتمحّص عنك الإثم، فقتل الملك الرجلين وطاف عمله حتى بلغ موضع النهروان وهو صحراء خراب فأجمع رأيه على حفر نهر فيه وأحدث قرى عليه وسماه ثواب العمل لأجل هذه القصة، قلت أنا: وقد سألت جماعة من الفرس إذ لم أثق بما أعرفه منها هل بين هذا اللفظ ومسماه توافق فلم يعرفوا ذلك ولعلّه باللغة الفهلوية، قال ابن الجرّاح في تاريخه في سنة 326 في ذي القعدة أصعد بجكم التركي إلى بغداد ليدفع عنها محمد بن رائق مولى محمد الخليفة فبعث أحمد بن عليّ بن سعيد الكوفي من يبثق نهر النهروان إلى درب ديالى، فلما أشرف عليه بجكم قال: يا قوم لقد أحسنوا إلينا، وأمر بسفينتين فنصبتا عليه جسرا فعبر هنيئا مريئا ولو ركبه ما كان يصعب ركوبه، قال: فحدّثني أحمد الكاتب بن محمد بن سهل وكان على ديوان فارس في ديوان الخراج وقد تجاذبنا خبر خطاب السواد ومنه النهروانان وعليهما يومئذ للسلطان ألف ألف ومائتا ألف دينار فأخرجها الكوفي، قال: حضرت مجلس الكوفي وقت ولي بجكم وقد كتب إلى عامله عليها جواب كتابه في أمر أعجزه: ويلك ولو في قلبك يعني ماء النهروان إلى درب ديالى، ففعل وعظم أمره المستحفل وبقي البلد خرابا مدة أربع عشرة سنة حتى فني أهله بالغربة والموت إلى أن قبض الله معزّ الدولة أبا الحسين أحمد بن بويه الديلمي فسدّه بعد أن سدّ مرارا فانقلع ووقع الناس منه في شدة، فلما قضى الله سدّه عاش اليسير فمن بقي من أهله تراجعوا إليه، ثم ذكر ابن الجرّاح أيضا: في سنة 31 لما ورد ناصر الدولة الحسن بن حمدان إلى بغداد مستوليا على تدبير الأمور بها أطلق عشرين ألف دينار للنفقة على بثق النهروان بالسهلية، قال: وكنا في هذا الموضع بحضرة ناصر الدولة وجرى ذكر هذا البثق بمحضر من يواخي وكان عبيد الله بن محمد الكلواذاني صاحب الديوان حاضرا وخاضوا فيه وفيما يرتفع بإصلاحه من نواحيه وهي النهروانات الثلاثة وجاذر
والمدينة العتيقة وشرقي كلواذى والأهواز.، فقال الكلواذاني وهو في الديوان منذ أربعين سنة: هذه بلدان يرتفع منها للسلطان ألف ألف درهم وخمسمائة ألف درهم، فقلت: يا هذا ما تفعل؟ ووقع لي أن الحال يصلح والأيام بناصر الدولة تستمر وتدوم ويطالب بهذا المال عند تمام المصلحة هذه النواحي ترتفع على السعر الوافي أصلا دون هذا المقدار كثيرا فكيف ما يخصّ السلطان وأكثر ما عرف من ارتفاع هذه النواحي على توسط الأسعار وغلبة المدار ألف ألف دينار ونحو مائتي دينار للسلطان أربعمائة ألف دينار وفي الإقطاعات والتسويغات والإيغارات والمنقولات أربعمائة ألف دينار للسلطان وللتناء والمزارعين والأكرة نحو أربعمائة ألف دينار، فرجع عن هذا القول، وقال: سهوت، هذا الذي قلته هو ارتفاع جميع الأصل، ثم بطل ما أراده ناصر الدولة بانزعاجه من بغداد ورجوعه إلى الموصل ورجوع الأمر إلى ترون التركي، والله المستعان، قلت: وينسب إلى هذه الناحية المعافى بن زكرياء بن يحيى بن حميد بن حماد النهرواني أبو الفرج القاضي، كان من أعلم أهل زمانه، روى عن أبي القاسم البغوي ويحيى بن صاعد وغيرهما، روى عنه القاضي أبو الطيب طاهر بن عبد الله الطبري وأبو القاسم الأزهري وغيرهما، ومات سنة 390، ومولده سنة 305، قال أبو عبد الله الحميدي: قرأت بخط أبي الفرج المعافى بن زكرياء النهرواني القاضي قال: حججت سنة فكنت بمنى أيام التشريق إذ سمعت مناديا ينادي: يا أبا الفرج! فقلت في نفسي: لعله يريدني، ثم قلت: في الناس خلق كثير ممن يكنى أبا الفرج فلعله يريد غيري، فلم أجبه، فلما رأى أنه لا يجيبه أحد نادى: يا أبا الفرج المعافى! فهممت أن أجيبه ثم قلت: يتفق من يكون اسمه المعافى وكنيته أبا الفرج، فلم أجبه، فرجع ونادى:
يا أبا الفرج المعافي بن زكرياء النهرواني! فقلت: لم يبق شك في مناداته إياي إذ ذكر اسمي وكنيتي واسم أبي وما أنسب إليه، فقلت له: ها أنا ذا ما تريد؟ فقال: ومن أنت؟ فقلت: أبو الفرج المعافى ابن زكرياء النهرواني، قال: فلعلك من نهروان الشرق؟ قلت: نعم، قال: نحن نريد نهروان الغرب، فعجبت من اتفاق الاسم والكنية واسم الأب وما أنسب إليه وعلمت أن بالمغرب موضعا يعرف بالنهروان غير نهروان العراق، وأبو حكيم إبراهيم ابن دينار بن أحمد بن الحسين بن حامد بن إبراهيم النهرواني البغدادي الفقيه الحنبلي، شيخ صالح نزل باب الأزج وله هناك مدرسة منسوبة إليه، تفقه على أبي الخطاب محفوظ بن أحمد الكلواذاني، وكان حسن المعرفة بالفقه والمناظرة، تخرج به جماعة وانتفعوا به لخيره وصلاحه، سمع أبا الحسن عليّ بن محمد العلّاف وأبا القاسم عليّ بن محمد بن بيان وغيرهما، وحدّث ودرّس وأفتى، وروى عنه أبو الفرج ابن الجوزي وقال: مات في جمادى الآخرة سنة 556، ومولده سنة 480.

[And ↓ شَبِيبَةٌ app. signifies also (assumed tropical:) Youthful folly, or the like; (see an ex. voce غَمْرَةٌ;) and so, probably, does شَبَابٌ.] b3: [Hence,] شَبَابٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) The first, or beginning, or the new, or recent, state, of a thing; (K, TA;) and so ↓ شَبِيبَةٌ.

شف

1 شَفَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. شُفُوفٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and شَفِيفٌ (S, O, K) and شَفَفٌ, (CK, [but not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the TA,]) It (a garment, or piece of cloth,) was thin, fine, or delicate, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) so that what was behind it was visible, (S, * IB, Mgh, [ for خَلَقَهُ in some copies of the S, and خَلْفَهُ in others, I read مَا خَلْفَهُ, which is the right reading accord. to IB and the TA, agreeably with the reading in the Mgh, which is مَا وَرَآءَهُ,]) or so as to tell what was beneath it: (O, K:) [and it, (a gem, or the like,) was translucent: or was transparent. (See شَفَّافٌ.)] One says, شَفَّ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبُهُ His garment was thin, &c., upon him. (S.) b2: b3: And شَفَّ جِسْمُهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. شُفُوفٌ, His body became lean, or emaciated. (S, O, K.) A2: شَفَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. شِفٌّ, It (a thing, O, Msb) exceeded; or was, or became, redundant. (S, O, Msb, K.) Hence, in a trad., شَفَّ نَحْوًا مِنْ دَانِقٍ It exceeded by about a دانق. (Sh, O.) And one says, شَفَّ عَلَيْه, aor. ـُ [so in the L and TA, contr. to rule, probably a mistranscription for يَشِفُّ,] inf. n. شُفُوفٌ; and ↓ شفّف, and ↓ استشفّ; [app. meaning, as seems to be indicated by the context, It exceeded it:] and شَفِفْتُ فِى السِّلْعَةِ [app. a mistranscription for شَفَفْتُ] I gained in, or upon, the the article of merchandise: (TA: [and so, app., ↓ شَفَّفْتُ: see شَفَّى:]) and فى تِجَارَتِهِ ↓ استشفّ [He obtained what is termed شِفٌّ in his traffic; i. e.] he made gain, or profit, in his traffic; syn. رَبِحَ. (S and K in art. ربح.) b2: And sometimes (Msb) it signifies also the contr.; i. e. It fell short; or was, or became, deficient. (Msb, K.) One says, (O, Msb,) of a dirhem, (O,) هٰذَا يَشِفُّ قَلِيلًا This falls short, or is deficient, a little. (O, Msb.) And شَفَّ عَنْهُ الثَّوْبُ, aor. ـِ The garment was too short for him. (TA.) A3: Also شَفَّ, (O, K,) aor. ـِ (O,) It (a thing, O) was, or became, in a state of motion, commotion, or agitation. (O, K.)

A5: شَفَّهُ, (S, M, O, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. شَفٌّ (S, M, TA) and شُفُوفٌ, (M, TA,) It (anxiety) rendered him lean, or emaciated; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ شَفْشَفَهُ; (S;) both are also expl. as meaning it rendered him lean, or lank in the belly, so that he became slender: (TA:) or, accord. to the M, it (grief, and love,) pained his heart: or rendered him lean, or emaciated: or deprived him of his reason: and it is said of grief as meaning it manifested what he felt of impatience. (TA.) And شَفَّ النُّفُوسَ, as used in a verse of Towbeh Ibn-El- Homeiyir, It hurt and melted the souls. (Ham p. 594.) A6: See also 8, in two places.2 شَفَّّ see the preceding paragraph, in two places.4 أَشْفَفْتُهُمْ I preferred them, or judged them to excel. (K.) You say, أَشْفَفْتُ بَعْضَ وَلَدِى عَلَى

بَعْضٍ I preferred some of my children above some. (S. [And the like is said in the Mgh.]) And أَشْفَفْتُ هٰذَا عَلَى هٰذَا I preferred this above this. (Msb.) b2: And اشفّ فُلَانٌ الدِّرْهَمَ Such a one made the dirhem to exceed: or, made it to fall short. (TA.) A2: أَشَفَّ عَلَيْهِ [if not a mistranscription for أُشِفَّ, which I rather think it to be,] He excelled him, or surpassed him. (TA.) A3: أَشَفَّ الفَمُ The mouth had in it a fetid odour. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) 6 تَشَافَفْتُهُ I took away his or its, شِفّ, i. e. excess, or redundance. (O, K.) b2: See also the next paragraph, in three places.8 اشتفّ مَا فِى الإِنَآءِ (S, O, K) كُلَّهُ (K) He drank what was in the vessel, all of it, (S, O, K,) even the شُفَافَة [or last drop or remains], (O,) not leaving any of it remaining; (S;) [and so اِجْتَفَّ;] as also ↓ تشافّ: (S, O, K:) and ↓ استشفّ المَآءَ He drank the water to the uttermost, not leaving any of it remaining; as also ↓ شَفَّهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. شَفٌّ: and المَآءَ ↓ شَفَفْتُ I drank much of the water without having my thirst satisfied. (TA.) [Hence,] in the trad. of Umm-Zara, وَإِنْ شَرِبَ اشْتَفَّ [And if he drank, he drank up all that was in the vessel]. (S, O.) And it is said in a prov., ↓ لَيْسَ الرِّىُّ عَنِ التَّشَافِّ (S, O, TA) i. e. The satisfying of thirst is not from the drinking up all that is in the vessel; for it is sometimes effected by less than this: (O, TA:) it is applied in forbidding one's going to the utmost in an affair, and persevering therein. (S, * O, TA.) Accord. to IAar, one says also تَشَافَيْتُ المَآءَ I exhausted the water; which, ISd says, is originally ↓ تَشَافَفتُ. (TA.) b2: 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Sebreh El-Harashee uses the first of these verbs metaphorically in relation to death; saying, سَاقَيْتُهُ المَوْتَ حَتَّى اشْتَفَّ آخِرَهُ meaning (tropical:) [I vied with him in giving the draught of death] until he drank the last of it, i. e., the last of death. (TA.) b3: And اشتفّ البَعِيرُ الحِزَامَ كُلَّهُ means The camel filled, and took up wholly, the girth, (O, K, TA,) so that nothing remained of it redundant, by reason of the largeness of the middle of his body. (TA.) 10 استشفّهُ, (O, K,) or استشفّ مَا وَرَآءَهُ, (S, Msb,) He saw what was behind it. (O, Msb, K.) [Thus the former signifies He saw through it: and it is used in this sense both properly and tropically.] b2: Hence the saying to the seller of cloths, اِسْتَشِفَّ هٰذَا الثَّوْبَ, [which may be rendered Look thou through this garment, or piece of cloth; but is expl. as] meaning make thou this garment, or piece of cloth, single, [by unfolding it,] and raise it, or hold it up, in shade, in order that I may see whether it be close in texture or flimsy. (TA.) b3: استشفّ also signifies [agreeably with the explanation of استشفّ مَا وَرَآءَهُ mentioned above] (assumed tropical:) He distinguished a thing plainly, like as one distinguishes plainly a thing behind glass. (Har p. 244.) b4: And one says, كَتَبْتُ كِتَابًا فَاسْتَشَفَّهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [I wrote a letter, or writing, &c., and] he examined attentively what was in it. (TA.) A2: See also 8.

A3: And see 1, in two places.

A4: [Freytag mentions as a signification of استشفّ “ Desiderio alicujus rei implevit; ”

with الى before the object: but he names no authority for this; and I doubt its correctness.] R. Q. 1 شَفْشَفَهُ: see 1, latter part. b2: Also, accord. to IAar, (O, TA,) inf. n. شَفْشَفَةٌ, (K, TA,) It (heat, and cold,) dried it up; namely, a thing, (O, K, TA,) such as herbage, (O, TA,) &c. (TA.) And accord. to AA, الشَّفْشَفَةُ signifies The hoar-frost's burning [meaning blasting] the herbage of the earth: or the burning of a medicament that is sprinkled upon a wound: (O:) or it has the former of these two meanings, and signifies also the sprinkling of a medicament upon a wound. (K. [But I think that, for وَذَرُّ الدَّوَآءِ in the K, we should read وَذَرِّ الدَّوَآءِ, and thus reconcile the K in this case with the O: see, however, what next follows; which may be regarded either as confirming the reading in the K, or as having misled its author, in this instance.]) A2: الشَّفْشَفَةُ signifies also The sprinkling of urine and the like. (K.) You say, شَفْشَفَ بِبَوْلِهِ He sprinkled his urine. (O.) A3: Also The trembling, and the being confused (الاِخْتِلَاطُ), (O, K, TA,) resulting from intense jealousy. (TA. [See مُشَفْشَفٌ.]) b2: And شَفْشَفَ عَلَيْهِ He was solicitously affectionate, or pitiful or compassionate, towards him, (TA.) [See, again, مُشَفْشَفٌ.]) R.

(Msb:) [see also شَفَّافٌ:] and the garment, or piece of cloth, itself, is termed شَفٌّ and ↓ شِفٌّ: (Har p. 70:) [i. e. each of these words is also used as a subst.; and this is perhaps meant in the O and K: or] شَفٌّ signifies also a certain thin, fine, or delicate, veil or covering: or, accord. to Aboo-Nasr, a certain thin, fine, or delicate, veil or covering, of wool, through which one sees what is behind it: (S:) pl. شُفُوفٌ. (O, Msb, K.) Among the verses of “ the Book ” [of Sb, cited as exs. therein], is the following: لَلْبْسُ عَبَآءَةٍ وَتَقَرُّ عَيْنِى

أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ لُبْسِ الشُّفُوفِ [Verily the wearing of a woollen cloak, my eye being therewithal unheated by tears, is more pleasing to me than the wearing of thin, fine, or delicate, garments]. (O.) A2: See also شِفٌّ.

A3: شفّ [app. شَفٌّ] also signifies Pimples, or small pustules, that come forth and then go away. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) شِفٌّ: see شَفٌّ, in three places.

A2: Also, (S, Mgh, O, K,) and ↓ شَفٌّ, (L, K,) but the former is that which is well known, (L, TA,) and ↓ شَفِيفٌ, (TA,) Gain, or profit; increase obtained in traffic: and excess, surplus, or redundance: syn. رِبْحٌ [q. v.] : and فَضْلٌ; (S, Mgh, O, K;) and زِيَادَةٌ.

Hence (Mgh) نَهَى عَنْ شِفِّ مَا لَم يُضْمَنْ, meaning [He (the Prophet, TA) forbade] the رِبْح [i. e. gain, or profit, of that for which one has not made himself responsible to the purchaser]. (O, Mgh.) And one says, لِهٰذَا عَلَى هٰذَا شِفّق [There is, or pertains, to this, an excess above this]. (Ksh in ii. 15.) And قَالَ قَوْلًا شِفًّا He said a saying that was a redundance. (TA.) b2: And A deficiency: thus having two contr. meanings. (ISk and S and O in explanation of the first word, K in explanation of the first and second words, and TA in explanation of all.) b3: Also, the first word, i. q. مَهْنَأٌ: one says to a person when regarding him with a wish for the like of a thing that he has attained, or that he possesses, without desiring that it should pass away from him, شِفٌّ لَكَ يَا فُلَانُ [May it be an unalloyed gratification to thee, O such a one].
