(TA.) [See again art. بيض.] Also هُوَ أَعَزَّ مِنْ بَيْضَةِ البَلَدِ (tropical:) [He is more highly esteemed than the egg of the ostrich, which it lays in the sand]; because the ostrich spreads its wings over it and sits upon it. (A in art. فرخ.)

(S, A'Obeyd, M, K.) b3: The origin, or an element, (عُنْصُر,) of a thing. (Th, M, K.) b4: See also the next paragraph, in three places: b5: and see بُلْدَةٌ.

بَلْدَةٌ: see بَلَدٌ, in three places.

[See also art. صمت.] b3: And [hence, app.,] البَلْدَةُ One of the Mansions of the Moon, (M, K,) [namely, the Twenty-first Mansion,] a patch of the sky, (K,) containing no stars, (M, K,) or containing only small stars, (T, * M,) between the نَعَائِم and سَعْد الذَّابِح: (M, K:) sometimes the moon declines from it, and takes as its mansion the قِلَادَة: it [app. القلادة, accord. to the K, but accord. to the TA البلدة,] consists of six stars resembling a bow, (K,) in the sign of Sagittarius (القَوْس): (T:) or البلدة is one of the Mansions of the Moon, consisting of six stars of Sagittarius (القوس), which the sun enters on the shortest day of the year: (S:) [see مَنَازِلُ القَمَر, in art. نزل: in the K it is also said that ↓ البَلَدُ is a Mansion of the Moon; but this appears to be a mistake, occasioned by the accidental omission of the word البَلْدَةُ; though البَلَدُ would seem to be an appropriate name for the mansion next after the نعائم:] IF says that البَلْدَةُ is a star, or an asterism, (نَجْمٌ,) said to be the بَلْدَة, i. e. breast, of the Lion; not meaning the mansion thus called in the sign of Sagittarius: El-Hareeree finds fault with him for using this expression, [the بلدة of the Lion,] but Ibn-Dhafr replies that it occurs in the language. (TA.) b4: بَلْدَةٌ also signifies The earth, or ground. (S.) b5: Also (S, M, L, TA, [in the K ↓ بَلَد, by the accidental omission of the word البَلْدَةُ,]) The pit between the two collar-bones, with the part around it: or the middle thereof, i. e., of that pit: (M, K:) or the third of the فَلَك (which are six in number) of that part of a horse's breast which is called the زَوُر: or the part called رَحَى الزَّوْرِ: (M:) or [so accord. to the M, but accord. to the K “and,”] the breast, syn. صَدْر, (S, M, A, K,) of a camel, (M, A,) or of that which has a foot like the camel's, and of a solid-hoofed animal, (M,) and of a man: (A:) and the part immediately beneath the two prominent portions of flesh of the breast of a horse, extending to the arms. (M, L.) Dhu-rRummeh says, أُنِيخَتْ فَأَلْقَتْ بَلْدَةً فَوْقَ بَلْدَةٍ

She (the camel) was made to lie down, and threw her breast upon [a tract of] ground. (S, M.) And you say, فُلَانٌ وَاسِعُ البَلْدَةِ Such a one is wide in the breast. (S.) b6: Also (tropical:) The palm of the hand. (M, A, TA. [In the K, by the accidental omission of the word البَلْدَةُ, this meaning is assigned to ↓ بَلَدٌ.]) You say, ضَرَبَ بَلْدَتَهُ عَلَى بَلْدَتِهِ (tropical:) He smote the palm of his hand upon his breast. (A.) A2: See also بُلْدَةٌ, in two places: A3: and see بَلَادَةٌ.

So in the words of a poet, describing a watering-trough or tank, وَ مُبْلَدٍ بَيْنَ مَوْمَاةٍ بِمَهْلَكَةٍ

formed by transposition from مُلْبِدَ, which [properly] means cleaving to the ground: (IAar, T, TA:) or it is مُبْلَد, (TA,) or مُبْلِد, (T,) which means abandoned, and worn, and no longer used, so that it threatens to fall to ruin. (T, TA.) مَبْلُودٌ Confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course: [a pass. part. n., but] it has no verb answering to it: (M, TA:) or idiotic; deficient, or wanting, in intellect; or bereft thereof: (Esh-Sheybánee, M, K:) or unable to proceed in, or prosecute, his journey, his means having failed him, or his camel that bore him stopping with him from fatigue or breaking down or perishing, or an event befalling him so that he cannot move: (As, M:) all of these significations refer to confusion or perplexity: (M, L:) or one whose modesty, or shame, or whose intellect, has quitted him; as also ↓ بَلِيدٌ.

ب

أس1 بَؤُسَ, aor. ـْ (S, M, Msb, K,) inf. n. بَأْسٌ, (S, Msb, K,) or بَأْسَةٌ; (M; [so I find in a copy of the M, but perhaps it is a mistranscription for بَآسَةٌ;]) and بَئِسَ, [aor. ـْ inf. n. بَأْسٌ; (M;) He was, or became, mighty, or strong, in war or fight; (K;) courageous, or valiant: (M, Msb, K:) or very mighty or strong in war or fight. (Az, S.) A2: بَئْسُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (S, M, K) and يَبْئِسُ, the latter extr., like يَنْعِمُ aor. of نَعِمَ, (M,) [and some other instances, (see حَسِبَ,)] inf. n. بُؤْسٌ (S, Msb, * K) and بُؤُوسٌ and بُؤْسَى (K) and بَأْسٌ (TA) and بَئيسٌ, (S, K,) [in measure] like أَمِيرٌ, (TA,) [accord. to the CK بِئْسٌ, which is a mistake,] and بَئِيسَى, (TS, TA,) incorrectly written in the copies of the K بِئْسَي; (TA;) or بَؤُسَ; (A;) or both these forms; (M;) He was, or became, in a state of distress; straitened in his means of subsistence, or in the conveniences of life; (M, Msb;) in a state of poverty: (M, A, Msb, * TA:) or in a state of pressing want: (S, K, TA:) and بَؤُسَ, inf. n. بَآسَةٌ and بَئِيسٌ, whence the subst.

بَؤْسَى, he was, or became, in a state of trial, or affliction: (M:) and [in like manner,] ↓ أَبْأَسَ, (inf. n. إِبْآسٌ,S,) distress, or poverty, or misfortune, or calamity, (البَأْسَآءُ,) befell him. (IAar, S, * M, TA.) A3: بِئْسَ, also written بَئِسَ and بِئِسَ and بَأْسَ, (S, K,) is a word of dispraise or blame, (S,) implying all kinds of dispraise or blame, (TA,) [or superlative dispraise or blame; signifying, Very evil or bad is he, or it: or superlatively evil or bad is he, or it:] contr. of نِعمَ: (S, M, TA:) a pret. verb, imperfectly inflected, (S, K,) like نِعْمَ, (S,) [having only one variation of form, namely, the fem. بِئْسَتْ, though the masc. is more commonly used even when the agent is fem. or pl.,] because it is translated from its original application, (S, K,) i. e. from بَئِسَ فُلَانٌ signifying

أَصَابَ بُؤْسًا [he found, met with, or experienced, distress, &c.], to signify dispraise or blame. (S, TA.) When it is accompanied by a gen. n. without the article ال, this is always in the accus. case: but when the n. has the article ال, it is always in the nom. case: (TA:) you say, بِئْسَ رَجُلًا زَيْدً [Very evil or bad, or superlatively evil or bad, as a man, is Zeyd; رجلا being a specificative]: (K:) and بِئْسَ الرَّجُلُ زَيْدٌ [Very evil, &c., is the man, Zeyd]; and بِئْسَتِ المَرْأَةُ هِنْدٌ [or more commonly بِئْسَ العَيْرُ in this case also, Very evil, &c., is the woman, Hind]. (S.) Some argue that it is a noun, from the saying, نِعْمَ السَّيْرُ عَلَى بِئْسَ العَيْرُ, because it has a prep.; but this is explained as elliptical, and meaning, نِعَمَ السَّيْرُ عَلَى عَيْرٍ مَقُولٍ فِيهِ بِئْسَ العيْرُ [Excellent is the journeying upon an ass of which it is said Very evil, &c., is the ass]. (I 'Ak p. 232.) Zj says that when it is followed by مَا, then مَا, with it, is regarded as occupying the place of an indeterminate noun; [namely, شَيْئًا, as a specificative; as in the Kur ii. 84,بِئْسَ مَا اشْتَرَوا بِهِ أَنْفُسَهُمْ, or بِئْسَمَا, &c., Very evil, &c., as a thing, is that for which they have sold, or exchanged, themselves:] (TA:) but some say that it is the agent, and is a determinate noun; and this is the opinion of Ibn-Kharoof, which he ascribes to Sb. (I 'Ak ubi suprà.) [For further illustration, see نِعْمَ.]4 أَبْاَ^َ see بَئِسَ5 تَبَاَّ^َ see 6.6 تَبَآءَسَ He feigned the lowliness, or submissiveness, of poverty, humbling, or abasing, himself, (K,* TA,) with men; and ↓ تَبَأَّسَ is allowable in the same sense. (TA.) 8 ابتأس بِهِ, (M, A,) and مِنْهُ, (S, TA,) He was distressed by it, or at it; it does not signify dislike: (IB, TA:) or he grieved at it, (S, M, A,) and humbled and abased himself: so in the Kur xi. 38 and xii. 69. (M, A, TA.) It is said of a man when a thing that he dislikes becomes known to him. (Az, TA.) بَأْسٌ Might, or strength, (S, A, Msb, K,) in war or fight: (S, A, K:) courage; valour, or valiantness; prowess. (M, K.) b2: War, or fight; (M, Msb;) as also ↓ بَئِيْسٌ (M) and ↓ بَأْسَآءُ: (TA:) pl. of the first,أَبْؤَسٌ. (Msb.) b3: Hence, (M,) (assumed tropical:) Fear, (M, TA,) in the saying, لَا بأْسَ عَلَيْكَ, (M, TA, *) and بِكَ, (M,) [(assumed tropical:) There is no fear for thee: lit., there is no war against thee, or with thee]: the saying of which to an enemy implies the granting him security, or protection: and in the same sense it is used in a trad., in the phrase اِشْتَدَّ البَأْسُ [(assumed tropical:) Fear became vehement]. (TA.) b4: I. q. ضَرَرٌ (assumed tropical:) [Harm, injury, &c.]: so in the phrase لَا بَأْسَ [There is, or will be, no harm, &c.; and لَا بَأْسَ بِكَذَا, and فِى كَذَا, (assumed tropical:) There is, or will be, no harm in such a thing]. (Har p. 311.) It is said in a trad., لَا بَأْسَ بِالْغِنَي لِمَنِ اتَّقَي [There is no harm in wealth to him who is pious]. (El-Jámi' es-Sagheer of Es-Suyootee.) بَاس also occurs for بَأْس; the being suppressed, agreeably with analogy; not altered by permutation. (M, TA.) b5: Punishment: (S, A, K:) or severe punishment; (TA;) as also ↓ بَئِسٌ, in measure like كَتِفٌ. (IAar, TA.) b6: See also بُؤْسٌ, in two places.

بُؤْسٌ (also written بُوسٌ, with the suppressed, Msb) Distress; straitness of the means of subsistence, or of the conveniences of life; poverty: (M, Msb,* TA:*) or a state of pressing want: (S, K:) or misfortune; calamity: (A:) and ↓ بُؤُوسٌ and ↓ بُؤْسَى (K, TA) and ↓ بَأْسَآءُ (M, A) and ↓ بَأْسٌ (TA) and ↓ بَئِيسٌ (S, K) and ↓ بَئِيسَى (TA) and ↓ مَبْأَسَةٌ (M, TA) [all of which, except ↓ بَأْسَآءُ and ↓ مَبْأَسَةٌ, are said to be inf. ns. (see بَئِسَ)] signify the same as بُؤْسٌ: (S, M, A, K, TA:) ↓ بُؤْسَى and ↓ بَأْسَآءُ are both from بُؤْسٌ [with which they are syn. accord. to authorities indicated above]; (Zj, IDrd, TA;) the former is contr. of نُعْمَى, (S, TA,) and in like manner the latter is contr. of نَعْمَآءُ: (TA:) the latter is of the measure فَعْلَآءُ without any أَفْعَلُ, because it is a subst.; like as أَفْعَلُ occurs among substs. without any فَعَلَآءُ, as in the instance of أَحْمَدُ: (Akh, S:) or ↓ بُؤْسَى signifies a state of trial or affliction, and is a subst.; and ↓ بَئِيسٌ and ↓ بَآسَةٌ signify the same, but are inf. ns.: (M:) and ↓ بَأْسَآءُ is syn. with شِدَّةٌ [like بُؤْسٌ in the first of the senses explained above]; (S, TA;) and مَشَقَّةٌ [meaning distress, or difficulty]: (TA:) or it signifies misfortune, or calamity, (A, K,) like بُؤْسٌ; (A;) and so أَبْؤُسٌ: (S, K:) or rather this last signifies misfortunes, or calamities; for it is pl. of ↓ بَأْسٌ, i. e., a pl. of pauc.; not of بُؤْسٌ, as J asserts it to be; for the pl. of pauc. of بُؤْسٌ is أَبْآسٌ: (IB, TA:) but أَبْؤُسٌ may be used as pl. of ↓ بَأْسَآءُ. (Fr, in S, voce ضَرَّآءُ, q. v.) [See exs. of these two pls. in what follows.] You say يَوْمُ بُؤْسٍ وَيَوْمُ نُعْمٍ [A day of distress, or poverty, &c., and a day of ease and plenty]. (S, TA.) And بُؤْسًا لَهُ [May distress, or poverty, &c., befall him]: a form of imprecation. (Sb, M, TA.) and بُؤْسَ ابْنِ سُمَيَّةَ, app. an expression of pity [meaning Alas for the distress, &c., of Ibn-Sumeiyeh!]. (TA, from a trad.) And عَسَىَ الغُوَيْرُ أَبْؤُسًا Perhaps the little cave [may be attended with] calamities; not calamity, as in the S [and K]: (IB:) a prov.; (S;) originating from a cave's having collapsed upon some men in it; or from an enemy's having come to some men in a cave, and slain them; wherefore it is applied to anything whence evil is feared: (As, S, K, in art. غور:) or it is applied to him who is suspected of a thing: (IAar, TA:) or الغُوَيْرُ was the name of a certain water, which belonged to the tribe of Kelb, and the words of this prov. were said by Ez-Zebbà, when Kaseer turned aside from the plain road, and took the way to الغُوَيْرُ: (Ibn-El-Kelbee, S, K, in art. غور:)ابؤسا is in the accus. case by reason of يَكُونُ understood. (Mughnee.) [See Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 94.] ElKumeyt also says, قَالُوا أَسَآءَ بَنُو كُرْزٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ عَسَى الغُوَيْرُ بِأَبْآسٍ وَأغْوَارِ [They said, Benoo-Kurz have done evil: and I said to them, Perhaps the little cave may be attended with calamities and connected with other caves]: أَبْآس is here pl. of بُؤْس. (IB, TA.) [In the S, the last words are written بِإِبْآسٍ وَإِعْوَارٍ, in one copy: in another, وإِغْوَارِ: both of which are app. wrong.] b2: See also بَائِسٌ.

بعض

1 بَعَضَهُ البَعُوضُ, [aor. ـَ inf. n. بَعْضٌ, The بَعُوض [or gnats, or musquitoes,] bit him; and annoyed, or molested, him. (TA.) And بُعِضُوا They were bitten by the بَعُوض: (A:) or were annoyed, or molested, thereby. (K.) بَعَضَهُ is not used in relation to anything but بَعُوض. (TA.) A poet says, praising a man who passed the night within a كِلَّة [or thin curtain used for protection from gnats, or musquitoes], which is also called أَبُو دِثَارٍ, لَنِعْمَ البَيْتُ بَيْتُ أَبِى دِثَارٍ

إِذَا مَا خَافَ بَعْضُ القَوْمِ بَعْضَا [Excellent indeed is the tent, the tent of Aboo-Dithár, when some of the people fear biting, and annoyance, or molestation, from gnats, or musquitoes]: by بعضا meaning عَضًّا. (TA.) 2 بعضهُ, inf. n. تَبْعِيضٌ, He divided it into parts, or portions, (S, A, Msb, K,) distinct, or separate, one from another. (Msb) You say, أَخَذُوا مَالَهُ فَبَعَّضُوهُ They took his property and divided it into parts, or portions. (A, TA.) And عَضَّى الشَّاةَ وَ بَعَّضَهَا [He limbed, or dismembered, the sheep, or goat, and divided it into parts, or portions]. (A, TA.) [Hence,] مِنْ in certain cases, and بِ in the like cases, as in the saying شَرِبْتُ بِمَآءِ كَذَا [“ I drank of,” i. e. “ some of, such water ”], are said to be لِلتَّبْعِيضِ [For the purpose of dividing into parts, or portions]. (Msb.) 4 ابعضوا They had بَعُوض [or gnats, or musquitoes], (K,) or abundance thereof, (A,) in their land. (A, K.) 5 تبعّض It was, or became, divided into parts, or portions. (S, K.) بَعْضٌ Some, or somewhat or some one, (lit. a thing,) of things, or of a thing: Th says that it signifies thus accord. to all the grammarians; (Msb, TA;) except Hishám, as will be seen hereafter: (TA:) or a part, or portion, (A, Msb, K,) of a thing, (Msb,) or of anything; (A, K;) whether little or much: (TA:) accord. to both these explanations, it may denote the greater part; as eight of ten: (Msb:) [thus it signifies some one or more; and it relates to persons and to other things:] pl. أَبْعَاضٌ; (S, IJ, K;) but ISd doubts whether IJ had an authority for this. (TA.) You say, بَعْضُ الشَّرِّ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ [Some kinds of evil are easier to be borne than some]. (A.) And جَارِيَةٌ حُسَّانَةٌ يُشْبِهُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا [A very beautiful girl, parts of whom resemble other parts]. (A.) [And ضَرَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا Some of them beat some; i. e. they beat one another.] And لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا

أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ [We have tarried a day or part of a day]. (Kur xviii. 18.) And one says to a man of a company of men, “Who did this? ” and he answers, أَحَدُنَا or بَعْضُنَا [Some one of us]; meaning himself. (A.) The article ال should not be prefixed to it, (K, * TA,) because it is originally a prefixed n., and as such determinate either literally or virtually, so that it does not admit another cause of being determinate; (TA;) contr. to what is said by IDrst (K, TA) and Ez-Zejjájee; for they said البَعْضُ and الكُلُّ; which, properly, as ISd says, is not allowable; and it is said in the O that IDrst, in this matter, was at variance with all the people of his age: (TA:) AHát says that the Arabs did not say الكُلُّ nor البَعْضُ, but that people used these expressions, even Sb and Akh in their two books, by reason of their little knowledge in this way: (K, * TA:) a remark, says MF, which is extr., and needs no comment: (TA:) [for who surpassed Sb and Akh in knowledge respecting matters of this kind?] AHát also relates his having told As that he had seen in the book of [that celebrated and chaste author] Ibn-ElMukaffa', العِلْمُ الكَثِيرٌ وَ لٰكِنَّ أَخْذَ البَعْضِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ تَرْكِ الكُلِّ [Science is large; but the acquiring of part is better than the neglecting of the whole]; and that As disapproved of it most strongly, saying that the article ال is not prefixed to بَعْضٌ and كُلٌّ because they are determinate without it: (TA:) Az, however, says that the grammarians allow its being prefixed to these two words, (Msb, TA,) though As disallows it, (TA,) because they are meant to be understood as prefixed ns.; (Msb;) or because the article is meant to be a substitute for the noun to which they should be prefixed; or, in the case of بَعْضٌ, because this word is equivalent to جُزْءٌ, which receives the article ال. (MF.) It is related of AO, that he assigned also to بَعْضٌ the contr. meaning of All; or the whole: adducing as a proof thereof the words of the Kur [xl. 29], يُصِبْكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِى

يَعِدُكُمْ as meaning All of that with which he threateneth you will befall you: and the saying of Lebeed.

أَوْ يَعْتَلِقْ بَعْضَ النُّفُوسِ حِمَامُهَا [as meaning Or their death shall cling to all living creatures: or, accord. to another relation, او يَرْتَبِطْ, which means the same as او يعتلق]: thus also AHeyth explains the above-cited verse of the Kur; and thus Hishám explains the saying of Lebeed, erroneously asserting that بعض is here a pl.: (TA:) but with respect to the former instance, the Prophet had threatened them with two things, the punishment of the present world and that of the world to come; so he says, “This punishment will befall you in the present world; ”

which is part (بعض] of the two threats; without denying the punishment of the world to come: or, as Aboo-Is-hák says, he mentions the part to indicate the necessary consequence of the whole: and as to the saying of Lebeed, by بعض النفوس he means himself. (TA [app. from ISd].) أَرْضٌ بَعِضَةٌ A land abounding with بَعُوض [or gnats, or musquitoes]; (K;) as also ↓ مَبْعَضَةٌ, like as you say مَبَقَّةٌ. (TA.) And لَيْلَةٌ بَعِضَةٌ A night in which are many بَعُوض; as also ↓ مَبْعُوضَةٌ (A, K.) بَعُوضٌ [Gnats, or musquitoes;] i. q. بَقَّ [which signifies both gnats, or musquitoes, (called in Egypt نَامُوس,) and also bugs]: n. un. with ة: (S:) or pl. of بَعُوضَةٌ, (K,) which signifies i. q. بَقَّةٌ. (A, K.) A poet speaks of the humming of the بعوض of the water. (TA.) The author of the K says, in the B, that the word is taken from بَعْضٌ, because of the smallness of the body of the بعوضة in comparison with other living things. (TA.) You say, كَلَّفَنِى مُخَّ البَعُوضِ (tropical:) He imposed upon me a difficult thing: (A:) or an impossible thing. (TS, K.) أَرْضٌ مَبْعَضَةٌ: see بَعِضَةٌ لَيْلَةٌ مَبْعُوضَةٌ: see بَعِضَةٌ

بسط

1 بَسَطَهُ, (M, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (M, TA,) inf. n. بَسْطٌ, (S, M, Msb,) contr. of تَبْسيِطٌ; (M, TA;) as also ↓بسّطهُ, (M,* TA,) inf. n. تَبْسيِطٌ. (TA.) [As such,] He spread it; spread it out, or forth; expanded it; extended it; (S, Msb, K, B;) as also ↓بسّطهُ: (K:) and he made it wide, or ample: these are the primary significations; and sometimes both of them may be conceived; and sometimes, one of them: and the verb is also used, metaphorically, as relating to anything which cannot be conceived as composed or constructed: (B:) and بَصْطٌ is the same as بَسْطٌ, (S, and K in art. بصط,) in all its meanings. (K.) You say, بَسَطَ الثَّوْبَ [He spread, spread out, expanded, or unfolded, the garment, or piece of cloth]. (Msb.) And بَسَطَ رِجْلَهُ (tropical:) [He stretched forth, or extended, his leg]. (TA.) And بَسَطَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ, and ↓بَسَّطَهُمَا, (assumed tropical:) He spread his fore arms upon the ground; the doing of which [in prostrating oneself] in prayer is forbidden. (TA.) And بَسَطَ يَدَهُ (M, Msb, K) (tropical:) He stretched forth, or extended, his arm, or hand; (M, K;) as in the saying بَسَطَ إِلِىَّ يَدَهُ بِمَا أُحِبُّ وَأَكْرَهُ (tropical:) [He stretched forth, or extended, towards me his arm, or hand, with, i. e. to do to me, what I liked and disliked]: (M, TA: *) or he stretched forth his hand opened. (Msb.) It is said in the Kur [v. 31], لَئِنْ بَسَطْتَ إِلَىَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَنِي (assumed tropical:) [Assuredly if thou stretch forth towards me thy hand to slay me]. (M, TA.) بَسْطُ اليَدِ and الكَفِّ is sometimes used to denote assaulting and smiting: [as in the last of the exs. given above; and] as in the words of the Kur [lx. 2], وَيَبُسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوْءِ (tropical:) [And they will stretch forth towards you their hands and their tongues with evil]; (TA;) i. e., by slaying, (Bd, Jel,) and smiting, (Jel,) and reviling. (Bd, Jel.) And sometimes to denote giving liberally: (TA:) [as in] بَسَطَ يَدَهُ فِى الإَنْفَاقِ (tropical:) He [stretched forth his hand, opened, or] was liberal or bountiful or munificent [in expenditure]: (Msb:) see بَسِيطٌ, below. (TA.) And sometimes to denote taking, or taking possession, or seizing: as in the saying, (TA,) بُسِطَتْ يَدُهُ عَلَيْهِ (tropical:) [His hand was stretched forth against him]; i. e. he was made to have dominion over him by absolute force and power. (K, TA.) And sometimes to denote seeking, or demanding: [as in بَسَطَ كَفَّيْهِ فِى الدُّعَآءِ (tropical:) He expanded his two hands in supplication; a common action, in which the two hands are placed together like an open book upon a desk before the face, in supplicating God:] see بَاسِطٌ, below. (TA.) b2: [And hence,] بَسَطْتُ لَهُ أَمْرِى (tropical:) I displayed, or laid open, to him my state, or case, or affair; syn. فَرَشْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ: (A in art. فرش:) and أَمْرَهُ [his state, &c.]. (TA in that art.) b3: [Hence also,] اَللّٰهُ يَبْسُطُ الأَرْوَاحَ فِى الأَجْسَادِ عِنْدَ الحَيَاةِ (assumed tropical:) [God diffuses the souls in the bodies at the time of their being animated]. (TA.) b4: [Hence also,] بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ الرِّزْقَ (assumed tropical:) God multiplied, or made abundant, and amplified, enlarged, or made ample or plentiful, the means of subsistence. (Msb, K. *) It is said in the Kur [ii. 246], وَاللّٰهُ يَبِضُ وَيَبْسُطُ (Msb and TA in art. قبض, q. v.) and you say, بَسَطَ عَلَيْهِمُ العَدْلَ (tropical:) [He largely extended to them equity, or justice]; as also ↓بسّطهُ. (TA.) b5: [Hence also,] فُلَانٌ يَبْسُطُ عَبِيدَهُ ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُهُمْ (tropical:) [Such a one enlarges the liberty of his slaves; then abridges their liberty]. (A in art. قبض.) b6: [Hence also, بَسَطَ وَجْهَهُ (assumed tropical:) It unwrinkled, as though it dilated, his countenance: see 7. and بَسَطَ قَلْبَهُ (assumed tropical:) It dilated his heart: see remarks on قَبْضٌ and بَسْطٌ, as used by certain of the Soofees, near the end of 1 in art. قبض. And] بَسَطَهُ, alone, [signifies the same; or] (tropical:) it rejoiced him; rendered him joyous, or cheerful: (M, K, TA:) because, when a man is rejoiced, his countenance becomes unwrinkled (يَنْبَسِطُ), and he becomes changed [and cheerful] in [its] complexion: it is wrongly said, by MF, to be not tropical: that it is tropical is asserted by Z, in the A: MF also says that it is not post-classical; and in this he is right; for it occurs in a saying of Mohammad: thus in a trad. respecting Fátimeh, يَبْسُطُنِى مَا يَبْسُطُهَا What rejoices her rejoices me: (TA:) [see also قَبَضَهُ, where this saying is cited according to another relation:] ↓أَبْسَطَنِى [as signifying (tropical:) it rejoiced me] is a mistake of the vulgar [obtaining in the present day]. (TA.) b7: [Hence also,] الخَيْرُ يَقْبِضُهُ وَالشَّرُّ يَبْسُطُهُ (tropical:) [Wealth makes him closefisted, tenacious, or niggardly; and poverty makes him open-handed, liberal, or generous]. (A in art. قبض.) b8: [Hence also,] بُسَطَ مِنْ فُلَانٍ (tropical:) He rendered such a one free from shyness, or aversion: (S, O, K, TA:) he emboldened him; incited him to [that kind of presumptuous boldness which is termed] دَالَّة. (Har p. 155.) [In the CK, بَسَطَ فُلاناً من فُلانٍ is erroneously put for بَسَطَ فُلَانٌ مِنْ فُلَانص] b9: [Hence also,] بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ فُلَانًا عَلَىَّ (tropical:) God made, or judged, such a one to excel me. (Z, Sgh, K, TA.) b10: [Hence also,] بَسَطَ المَكَانُ القَوْمَ (tropical:) The place was sufficiently wide, or ample, for the people, or company of men. (K, TA.) And هٰذَا فِرَاشٌ يَبْسُطُكَ (tropical:) This is a bed ample, (S, K,) or sufficiently wide for thee. (A.) And فَرَشَ لِى فِرَاشاً لَا يَبْسُطُنِى He spread for me a bed [not wide enough for me, or] that was [too] narrow [for me], (ISk, S.) b11: [Hence also,] بَسَطَ العُدْرَ, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (S, TA,) (tropical:) He accepted, or admitted, the excuse. (S, K, TA.) b12: All these significations of the verb are ramifications of that first mentioned above. (TA.) A2: بَسَطَ, aor. ـُ (M, K,) inf. n. بَسَاطَةٌ, (M,) (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, free, or unconstrained, (مُنْبَسِطٌ,) with his tongue.

(So accord. to an expl. of the latter of the two inf. ns. in the TA.) [See كَاشَرَهُ.] You say also, بَيْنَهُمَا مُبَاسَطَةٌ (tropical:) [Between them two is conversation, or behaviour, free from shyness, or aversion; bold; free and easy; or cheerful]. (TA.) 4 أَبْسَطَ see 1, latter half.5 تَبَسَّطَ see 7. b2: تبسّط فِى البِلَادِ (assumed tropical:) He journeyed far and wide in the countries. (S, TA.) b3: خَرَجَ يَتَبَسَّطُ (assumed tropical:) He went forth betaking himself to the gardens and green fields: from بَسَاطٌ signifying

"land having sweet-smelling plants." (TA.) 7 انبسط quasi-pass. of بَسَطَهُ; as also ↓تبسّط is of بَسَّطَهُ; both signifying It became spread or spread out or forth, or it spread or spread out or forth; it became expanded, or it expanded, or it expanded itself; it became extended, or it extended, or it extended itself: [&c.]. (M, K, TA.) Yousay, انبسط الشَّيْءُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ [The thing became spread or spread out, &c., upon the ground]. (S.) And انبسط النَّهَارُ The day became advanced, the sun being high: it became long: (M, K, TA:) and in like manner one uses the verb in relation to other things. (M, TA.) b2: [And hence, (assumed tropical:) He expatiated. b3: And] انبسط وَجْهُهُ (assumed tropical:) [His countenance became unwrinkled, as though dilated; i. e. it became open, or cheerful; and so انبسط alone; or he became open, or cheerful, in countenance, as is said in the KL.].

[And انبسط, alone, (tropical:) He became dilated in heart; or he rejoiced; or became joyous, or cheerful: see بَسَطَهُ.] b4: [Hence also,] انبسط (tropical:) He left shyness, or aversion; he became free therefrom: (S, TA:) he was, or became, bold, forward, presumptuous, or arrogant: (KL, PS:) he became emboldened, and incited to [that kind of presumptuous boldness which is termed] دَالَّة. (Har p. 155.) And انبسط إِلَيْهِ (tropical:) [He was open, or unreserved, to him in conversation: and he acted towards him, or behaved to him, without shyness or aversion; or with boldness, forwardness, presumptuousness, or arrogance: and he applied himself to it (namely, an affair,) with boldness, forwardness, presumptuousness, or arrogance.] (TA.) بَسْطٌ, as signifying A certain intoxicating thing, [a preparation of hemp,] is post-classical.

↓بِسَطَانِ: (TA:) the meaning is, (tropical:) Nay, his hands are liberal, or bountiful; the phrase being a simile; for in this case there is no hand, nor any stretching forth. (TA.)

بضع

1 بَضَعَهُ, (S, Msb,) aor. ـَ (Msb,) inf. n. بَضْعٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He cut it; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) namely, flesh, or flesh-meat: (S, TA:) and it (a sword) cut a piece off from it; namely, a thing: (As, S:) and he cut it in pieces; namely, flesh, or flesh-meat: (K, TA:) and ↓ بضّعهُ, inf. n. تَبْضِيعٌ, has the first of these significations: (K: [but only the inf. n. is there mentioned:]) or this latter signifies he cut it much, or in several pieces, or in many pieces. (Msb, TA. *) b2: He slit it; or cut it lengthwise; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) namely, flesh, or flesh-meat, (Msb,) or a wound, (S, TA,) and a vein, and a hide. (S.) b3: [And hence,] بَضَعَهَا, (Sb, Msb, TA,) aor. ـَ (Msb,) inf. n. بَضْعٌ (K, TA) and بُضْعٌ, like شُكْرٌ and شُغْلٌ and كُفْرٌ, for فُعْلٌ is not rare as a measure of inf. ns., (Sb, TA,) or accord. to some it is an inf. n. of this verb, (Msb,) but accord. to others it is a simple subst., (TA,) (tropical:) Inivit eam; he lay with her, or compressed her; (Sb, Msb, K, TA;) as also ↓ باضعها, (Msb,) inf. n. مُبَاضَعَةٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and بِضَاعٌ: (S, Msb, K:) because in the act which it signifies is a kind of slitting. (Mgh.) You say, مَلَكَ بُضْعَهَا, i. e. جِمَاعَهَا. (Msb.) And it is said in a prov., ↓ كَمُعَلِّمَةِ أُمَّهَا البِضَاعَ (tropical:) [Like her who teaches her mother المُجَامَعَة]. (S.) b4: بَضْعٌ also signifies (tropical:) The taking in marriage: (K, TA:) and بُضْعٌ, as an inf. n., (assumed tropical:) The making a contract of marriage. (Msb.) 2 بَضَّعَ see 1.3 بَاْضَعَ see 1, in two places.4 ابضعها, (Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِبْضَاعٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) (tropical:) He gave her in marriage. (Mgh, Msb, K.) It is said in a trad., (TA,) تُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَآءُ فِى إِبْضَاعِهِنَّ (tropical:) Women shall be consulted respecting the giving them in marriage: (T, Mgh, Msb, TA:) or, accord. to one relation, ↓ أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ, (Mgh, Msb,) which [virtually] means the same; (Msb;) but this is a pl., namely, of بُضْعٌ. (Mgh, Msb.) A2: ابضع الشَّىْءَ He made the thing to be بِضَاعَة [i. e. an article of merchandise], (S, K, TA,) whatever it was; (TA;) as also ↓ استبضعهُ: (S, K:) or الشَّىْءَ ↓ اِسْتَبْضَعْتُ signifies I made [or took] the thing as بضاعة [an article of merchandise] for myself: and you say, أَبْضَعْتُهُ غَيْرِى [I made it, or gave it as, an article of merchandise to another than me]: (Mgh, Msb:) and ابضعهُ البِضَاعَةَ he gave him the article of merchandise. (TA.) Hence the phrase, in a trad. relating to El-Medeeneh, accord. to one relation, تُبْضِعُ طِيبَهَا, meaning (assumed tropical:) It gives the good that it possesses to its inhabitants; as explained by Z; but accord. to the relation commonly known, it is تَنْصَعُ, with ن and with the unpointed ص; [meaning “it purifies;”; (L in art. نصع;)] and there are two other relations, which are تَنْضَخُ and تَنْضَخُ. (TA.) 7 انبضع It was, or became, cut, or cut off. (K, TA.) 8 ابتضع مِنْهُ He took, or received, [merchandise] from him. (TA: [in which the word بِضَاعَةً

requires to be supplied in the explanation, and is indicated by the context.]) 10 اِسْتِبْضَاعٌ denotes a kind of matrimonial connection practised by people in the Time of Ignorance; i. e., A woman's desiring sexual intercourse with a man only to obtain offspring by him: a man of them used to say to his female slave or his wife, أَرْسِلِى إِلَى فُلَان فَآسْتَبْضِعِى مِنْهُ [Send thou to such a one, and demand of him sexual intercourse to obtain offspring]; and he used to separate himself from her, and not touch her, until her pregnancy by that man became apparent: and this he did from a desire of obtaining generous offspring. (IAth, TA.) A2: See also 4, in two places.

بَضْعٌ: see بِضْعٌ, first sentence, and near the end: and see also بَضْعَةٌ.

بُضْعٌ Initus; sexual intercourse: (Mgh, Msb, K:) a subst., (Mgh, Msb, TA,) accord. to some; but accord. to others, an inf. n.; (Msb;) held by Sb to be the latter: (TA:) [see 1:] and marriage; or the taking in marriage; syn. نِكَاحٌ; (ISk, S, Msb, TA;) [which has also the first of the meanings given above;] as in the phrase مَلَكَ فُلَانٌ بُضْعَ فُلَانَةَ [explained above (see 1)]: (ISk, S:) or, (K,) in this phrase, (Mgh,) (tropical:) the pudendum muliebre; the vulva; (Az, Mgh, Msb, K, * TA;) and so in the saying, in a trad., عُتِقَ بُضْعُكِ فَاخْتَارِى (tropical:) Thy vulva hath become freed, therefore choose thou whether thou wilt remain with thy husband or separate thyself from him; (TA;) and in the saying, تُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَآءُ فِى أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ, accord. to those who thus relate it, others saying إِبْضَاعِهِنَّ; (see 4;) أَبْضَاعٌ being pl. of بُضْعٌ. (Mgh, Msb.) b2: Also (tropical:) The marriage-contract. (K.) b3: And (tropical:) A dowry; or gift given to, or for, a bride: (K, TA:) pl. بُضُوعٌ. (TA.) So in the saying of 'Amr Ibn-Maadee-Kerib, وَفِى كَعْبٍ وَإِخْوَتِهَا كِلَابٍ

سَوَامِى الطَّرْفِ غَالِيَةُ البُضُوعِ [And among Kaab, and their brethren Kiláb, are females lofty in look, or] proud, and dear in respect of dowries. (TA.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) Divorce: (Az, K:) thus having two contr. significations. (K.) b5: And (assumed tropical:) The authority possessed over a woman by her guardian who affiances her. (TA.) b6: And (assumed tropical:) An equal; particularly as a suitor in a case of marriage: as in the saying, in a trad., هٰذَا البُضْعُ لَا يُقْرَعُ أَنْفُهُ (assumed tropical:) This equal‘s marriage shall not be refused, nor shall it be desired, or wished for; he shall not be rejected. (TA.) بِضْعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ بَضْعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) some of the Arabs pronouncing it with kesr, (S, Msb,) [A number under ten; and an odd number, meaning] a number between two round, or decimal, numbers; (Az, K;) from one to ten [exclusive of the latter]; and from eleven to twenty [exclusive of the latter]; so accord. to Mebremán; (K;) i. e. Mohammad Ibn-'Alee Ibn-Ismá'eel the Lexicologist, Mebremán being his surname: (TA:) or from three to nine; (S, Msb, K [in the first and last the ns. being in the fem. gender; but in the second, masc.];) so accord. to Katádeh; (Mgh;) from three to less than ten: (Fr [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or not less than three nor more than ten; (Sh [the first n. of number in the fem. gender, and the second masc.];) from three to ten: (Mgh [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or to seven: (Mujáhid, Mgh:) or to five: (AO, K [the n. of number in the fem. gender]:) or from one to four: (AO, O, K [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or to five; an explanation ascribed to AO: (TA:) or from four to nine; (ISd, K [the ns. of number fem.];) and this is the signification preferred by Th: (TA:) or it signifies five: (Mukátil [this n. of number masc.]:) or seven; (Mukátil, K [in the K this n. of number being fem.];) so accord. to some: (AO:) or ten: (Ed-Dahhák [this n. of number masc.]:) or an undefined number; غَيْرُ مَحْدُودٍ; so says Sgh; [and the like is said in the Msb;] in the K, erroneously, غَيْرُ مَعْدُودٍ; (TA;) because it means a portion, (Sgh, K,) which is undefined: (Sgh, TA:) it also signifies, with ten, [in like manner; i. e. ten and a number under ten; or the like: as] from thirteen to nineteen. (Msb.) When used as signifying from three to nine, (Mgh, Msb,) or to ten, or to seven, (Mgh,) [or to signify some number under ten, without another n. of number,] it is masc. and fem. without variation: (Mgh, Msb:) you say بِضْعُ رِجَالٍ

From three to nine [&c.] men: and بِضْعُ نِسْوَةٍ

from three to nine [&c.] women: (Msb:) and بِضْعُ سِنِينَ from three to nine [&c.] years: (S:) and فِى بِضْعِ سِنِينَ [in from three to nine, &c., years]: (Kur xxx. 3:) and فَلَبِثَ فِى السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ [And he remained in the prison from three to nine, &c., years]. (Kur xii. 42.) But when used to denote a number above ten, (Mgh, Msb,) with a masc. n. it is with ة, (↓ بِضْعَة,) and with a fem. n. it is without ة: (ISk, Mgh, Msb, K:) you say بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا From thirteen to nineteen [&c.] men: and بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً from thirteen to nineteen [&c.] women: (S, Mgh, * TA:) like as you say ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا and ثَلَاثَ عَشْرةَ امْرَأَةً. (Mgh.) When you have passed the word denoting ten, (S, K,) [i. e.] to denote a number above twenty, (Msb,) it is not used: (S, Msb, K:) you do not say بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ, (S, K,) but نَيِّفٌ وَعِشْرُونَ; and so in the cases of the remaining numbers: (S:) or you do say بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ: (Sgh, K:) accord. to Az, (Msb,) you say بِضْعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا (Mgh, Msb, K) meaning Twenty and odd men: (Az, TA:) and بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ امْرَأَةً (Mgh, Msb, K) meaning twenty and odd women: (Az, TA:) but not the reverse: (K:) ISd says, we have not heard this, but there is no objection to it: (TA:) and Fr says, بِضْعٌ is not mentioned save with ten and twenty to ninety; (IB, K;) not with what exceeds this: (IB:) you do not say بِضْعٌ وَمِائَةٌ nor بِضْعٌ وَأَلْفٌ, (IB, K,) but مِائَةٌ وَنَيِّفٌ [and أَلْفٌ وَنَيِّفٌ]: (IB:) it occurs in trads. with عِشْرُونَ and with ثَلَاثُونَ. (TA.) b2: بِضْعٌ and ↓ بَضْعٌ also signify A part, or portion, of the night: (K:) a time thereof. (Lh.) You say, مَضَى بِضْعٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ [A part, or portion, of the night passed]. (TA.) J mentions it with ص [in the place of ض]; and explains it by جَوْشٌ, q. v. (TA.) بَضْعَةٌ, (S, Msb, K,) with fet-h, other words of like meaning being with kesr, as قِطْعَةٌ and فِلْذَةٌ and فِدْرَةٌ, (S,) and sometimes with kesr, [↓ بِضْعَةٌ,] (K,) and ↓ بُضْعَةٌ also is mentioned, (TA,) of which the first is the most chaste, though EshShiháb asserts the second to be more common, (TA,) A piece, or lump, or portion cut off; (TA;) particularly of flesh, or flesh-meat, (S, Msb, K,) in a compact, or collective, state: (TA:) pl. ↓ بَضْعٌ, [or rather this is a coll. gen. n., of which بَضْعَةٌ is the n. un.,] and بِضَعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) as some say, (S,) but this is disallowed by 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh, (TA,) [or it may be a correct pl. of بِضْعَةٌ agreeably with analogy,] and بِضَاعٌ, and بَضَعَاتٌ, (Msb, K,) and [quasi-pl. n.] بَضِيعٌ, which is extr., like رَهِينٌ and كَلِيبٌ and مَعِيزٌ [&c.]. (TA.) Hence the saying [of Mohammad] in a trad., فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنَّى يَرِيبُنِى مَا رَابَهَا وَيُؤْذِينِى مَا

آذَاهَا (tropical:) Fátimeh is a part of me: [that displeases and disquiets me which has displeased and disquieted her, and that hurts me which has hurt her:] or, accord. to one relation, he said بُضَيْعَةٌ [a little part]. (TA.) One says also, إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَشَدِيدُ البَضْعَةِ حَسَنُهَا meaning Verily such a one is corpulent and fat. (TA.) b2: See also بَضَعَةٌ.

بُضْعَةٌ: see بَضْعَةٌ.

بِضْعَةٌ: see بَضْعَةٌ: and, as a noun of number, see بِضْعٌ, latter half of the paragraph.

بَضَعَةٌ The sound of cutting of swords: occurring in the saying, سَمِعْتُ لِلسِّيَاطِ خَضَعَةً وَلِلسُّيُوفِ بَضَعَةً

I heard a sound of falling of the whips, and a sound of cutting of the swords: (TA:) but in the S and A in art. خضع, and by IB, خضعة and بضعة are written خَضْعَةٌ and ↓ بَضْعَةٌ; and IB explains the former as signifying the sounds of swords; and the latter, the sounds of whips. (TA in art. خضع.) [See also بَاضِعٌ.]

بِضَاعٌ [The giving and receiving merchandise;] a subst. from أَبْضَعَهُ البِضَاعَةَ and اِبْتَضَعَ مِنْهُ; [or rather an inf. n. of which the verb, بَاضَعَ, is not used;] similar to قِرَاضٌ. (TA.) بَضِيعٌ Flesh. (As, S.) You say, دَابَّةٌ كَثِيرَةُ البَضِيعِ (As, S, TA) A beast abounding in what is distinct from the rest of the flesh of the thigh: n. un. with ة. (TA.) And رَجُلٌ خَاظِى البَضِيعِ (As, S) A fat man. (TA.) And سَاعِدٌ خَاظى البَضِيعِ [A fore arm, or an upper arm,] full of flesh. (IB.) [See also بَضْعَةٌ, of which it is a quasipl. n.]

بِضَاعَةٌ Merchandise; or an article of merchandise; (TA;) a portion of one's property which one sends for traffic; (S;) a portion of property prepared for traffic, (Mgh, * Msb,) or with which one traffics; from بَضْعٌ signifying the act of “cutting,” or “cutting off;” and vulgarly pronounced بُضَاعَةٌ: (TA:) pl. بَضَائِعُ. (Msb, TA.) بَاضِعٌ A sword that cuts off a piece of a thing that it strikes: (S, TA:) or a sharp, or cutting, sword: (K:) or a sword that cuts everything: (TA:) pl. بَضَعَةٌ: (K:) Fr says that بَضَعَةٌ signifies swords; and خَضَعَةٌ, whips: but some say the reverse. (TA.) [See also بَضَعَةٌ above.] b2: [See also the next paragraph.]

A2: [A broker who acts as an intermediary between the sellers and buyers of camels;] the same with respect to camels as the دَلَّال with respect to houses: (O, L, K:) or one who carries the articles of merchandise of the tribe, and conveys those articles from place to place for sale: (Ibn-'Abbád, Sgh, K:) it is said in the A that بَاضِعُ الحَىِّ signifies the person who carries the articles of merchandise of the tribe. (TA.) بَاضِعَةٌ A wound by which the head is broken, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) which cuts the skin, and cleaves the flesh (S, K) in a slight degree, (K,) and brings blood, but does not make it to flow: (S, K:) or which wounds the skin, and cleaves the flesh: (Mgh:) or which cleaves the flesh, but does not reach to the bone, nor cause the blood to flow: (Msb:) that from which the blood flows is termed دَامِيَةٌ [app. a mistake for دَامِعَةٌ]. (S, Msb.) A2: A large flock (فِرْقٌ [in the CK, erroneously, فِرَق,]) of sheep or goats: (S, Sgh, K:) or a portion separated from the rest of the sheep or goats: (Lth, K:) pl. بَوَاضِعُ: you say, فِرَقٌ بَوَاضِعُ. (Lth.) أَبْضَعُ as a corroborative after أَجْمَعُ: see أَبْصَعُ, with the unpointed ص. Az says that it is an evident mistranscription. (TA.) مِبْضَعٌ A lancet; an instrument with which a vein is cut: (S, Mgh, * K, TA:) and [a currier's knife] with which leather is cut: (S, TA:) [pl. مَبَاضِعُ: accord. to the Mirkát el-Loghah, as cited by Golius, it signifies a farrier's fleam; differing from مِشْرَطٌ, which signifies a surgeon's lancet: but this distinction is probably post-classical; for accord. to the TA, these two words signify the same.]

مَبْضُوعَةٌ [used as a subst.] A bow: a bow cut from a branch. (TA.) مُسْتَبْضِعٌ. It is said in a prov., كَمُسْتَبْضِعِ تَمْرٍ

إِلَى هَجَرٍ [Like the taker of dates as merchandise to Hejer]; because Hejer is [famous as] the place of production (مَعْدِن) of dates. (S.) مستبضع is here made trans. by means of الى because it has the meaning of حَامِل. (TA.)

بنق

1 بَنَقَ, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. بَنْقٌ, (TK,) He joined [a thing to another thing, like as the بَنِيقَة of a shirt is joined: see the pass. part. n., below]; syn. وَصَلَ. (K.) 2 بنّق القَمِيصَ, inf. n. تَبْنِيقٌ, He put a بَنِيقَة to the shirt. (K.) b2: بنّق الجَعْبَةَ (tropical:) He made the upper part of the quiver wide [by adding to it the like of a بَنِيقَة (see the pass. part. n., below,)], and the lower part narrow: (K, TA:) or he widened its upper part, the lower part being [or remaining] narrow. (JK.) بِنَقٌ: see what next follows.

بِنَقَةٌ: see what next follows.

بِنَيقٌ: see what next follows.

بِنَيقَةٌ The لِبْنَة, (Az, Abu-l-Hajjáj El-Aalam, JK, S, K,) or دِخْرِصَة, (Abu-l-'Abbás El-Ahwal, TA,) [both of which signify the gore,] of a shirt, (Az, S, K,) or of a garment; (JK;) or the دخرصة is longer than the لبنة: (Seer, TA:) and any piece that is added in a garment or a leathern bucket to widen it: (Abu-l-Hajjáj ElAalam, TA:) or, accord. to IDrd, the دخاريص of a shirt: (TA: [but this is app. a mistranscription for its sing. دِخْرِيص, q. v., a dial. var. of دِخْرِصَة:]) or the جُرُبَّان [or opening at the neck and bosom] of a shirt: (K:) جربّان is prefixed to البنيقة in a verse of Jereer, governing the latter in the gen. case, to show that both these words have the same meaning: (TA:) ↓ بِنَقَةٌ, also, signifies the same as بنيقة; (JK, K; [in the latter of which it is mentioned in such a manner as perhaps to denote that it has only the last of the significations above; but I think that this restriction is not meant;]) and its pl. [or rather the coll. gen. n.] is ↓ بِنَقٌ: (Ibn-'Abbád, TA:) Th mentions بَنَائِقٌ and بِنَقٌ, and says that the latter is a pl. pl. ; [i. e., pl. of the former;] but this is unintelligible: (TA:) بَنَائِقٌ is pl. of بَنِيقَةٌ, (JK, S, &c.,) and syn. with دَخَارِيصٌ. (JK.) Az cites, from Mejnoon, كَمَا ضَمَّ أَزْرَارَ القَمِيصِ البَنَائِقٌ (S, IB,) which is an inverted phrase; the meaning being, كَمَا ضَمَّ أَزْرَارُ القَمِيصِ البَنَائِقَا [Like as the buttons of the shirt draw together the gores: if the last word mean the gores]: or, if the بنيقة of the shirt be really its جربّان, the meaning is intelligible [without inversion]; for its جربّان is the part around the neck, upon which are sewed the buttons; and when one desires to draw it together, he puts its buttons into the loops, and so draws together the bosom [of the shirt, with its buttons,] to the uppermost part of the chest. (IB, TA.) Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee explains البنائق, here, as meaning the loops into which the buttons are inserted; and accord. to this explanation the meaning is plain, not requiring the supposition of inversion nor of deviation from the usual way: but the first explanation is that which is generally given. (TA.) In the saying, ↓ قَدْ أَغْتَدِى وَ الدَّهْرُ ذُو بَنِيقِ [in the last word of which, ة is elided; lit., Sometimes I go forth early in the morning, when the time has a بَنِيقَة;] Lth says that the whiteness of the dawn is likened to the whiteness of the بنيقة; citing another verse, in which a shirt is described as having white بنائق. (TA.) جَعْبَةٌ مُبنَّقَةٌ (tropical:) A quiver that is widened: (Ibn-'Abbád, TA:) or in the upper part of which is added what resembles a بَنِيقَة, to enlarge it. (A, TA.) b2: طَرِيقٌ مُبَنَّقٌ (tropical:) A wide road. (TA.) أَرْضٌ مَبْنُوقَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Land joined (مَوْصُولَة) to other land, like as the بَنِيقَة of a shirt is joined. (ISd, TA.) And مَفَازَةٌ مَبْنُوقَةٌ, (JK,) or مَبْنُوقَةٌ بِأُخْرَى, (TA,) (tropical:) [A desert, or a desert in which is no water, &c.,] joined to another. (JK, TA.)

بتل

1 بَتَلَهُ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـِ (S,) or ـُ (Msb,) or both, (M, K,) inf. n. بَتْلٌ, (Lth, T, S, &c.,) He cut it off, or severed it; (M, Msb, K;) as also ↓ بتّلهُ, (M, K,) inf. n. تَبْتِيلٌ: (TA:) he separated it (Lth, T, S, M, Msb, K) from another thing. (Lth, T, S, M, K.) b2: [Hence,] بَتَلَ العُمْرَةَ He made the performance of the عمرة [or minor pilgrimage] to be obligatory, by itself. (A, TA.) And العُمْرَى ↓ بتّل He made the عمرى to be obligatory [upon himself]; i. e., the saying, I have assigned to thee my house that thou mayest inhabit it to the end of my life. (TA.) A2: بَتِلَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. بَتْلٌ, [but accord. to analogy, this should rather be بَتلٌ,] He (a man) was, or became, wide between the shoulders. (T.) 2 بَتَّلَ see 1, in two places: A2: and see also 5: A3: and مُبَتَّلٌ.5 تبتّلا: see 7, in two places. b2: [Hence,] He was, or became, alone. (TA.) b3: Also, (S,) or تبتّلا إِلَى اللّٰهِ, (M, K,) and ↓ بتّل, (S, * K,) inf. n. تَبْتِيلٌ, (S,) He detached himself from worldly things, and devoted himself to God: (S:) or he devoted himself to God exclusively, and was sincere, or without hypocrisy, towards Him: (M, K:) he forsook every other thing, and applied himself to the service of God: (Fr, T:) he devoted himself exclusively to the service of God: (Aboo-Is-hák, T:) or he abstained from sexual intercourse: (K:) or تبتّل [alone] has this signification; (M, TA;) or he separated himself from women, and abstained from sexual intercourse: and hence, is metaphorically employed to denote exclusive devotion to God. (TA.) Hence, in the Kur [lxxiii. 8], وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْةِ تَبْتِيلًا, (T, S, M,) for تبتّل اليه تَبَتُّلًا. (T.) You say also, تبتّلا إِلَى العِبَادَةِ He applied himself exclusively to the service of God. (Msb.) b4: تَبَتّلَتْ, said of a woman, She adorned and beautified herself. (TA.) 7 انبتل It was, or became, cut off, or severed; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ تبتّل. (M, K.) You say, انبتلت الفسِيلَةُ, (K, [in a copy of the M ↓ ابتتلت, probably a mistranscription,]) The shoot, or offset, of the palm-tree was cut off, or severed, مِنْ أُمِّهَا [from its mother-tree]; as also ↓ تبتّلت and ↓ استبتلت. (M, K.) b2: انبتل فِى سَيْرِهِ He strove, laboured, or exerted himself, and made much progress, in his journeying, or pace. (TA.) 8 إِبْتَتَلَ see 7.10 إِسْتَبْتَلَ see 7.

عَطَآءٌ بَتْلٌ A gift that is [as it were] cut off; i. e., of which there is not the like; or after which another is not given. (M, K.) And صَدَقَةٌ بَتْلَةٌ, (M, K,) and صدقة بَتَّةٌ بَتْلَةٌ, (TA,) An alms, or a gift for the sake of God, cut off from its giver: (M, K:) or cut off from all the property [irrevocably], to be devoted to the cause of God. (O, TA. [See also art. بت.]) You say also, أَعْطَيْتُهُ هٰذِهِ العَطِيَّةَ بَتَّا بَتْلًا: see art. بت. and طَلَّقَهَا بَتَّةً بَتْلَةً; (S;) or طلّقها طَلْقَةً بَتَّةً بَتْلَةً; (Msb;) [He divorced her by a separating divorce; or by a decided and irrevocable divorce; (see art. بت;)] the last word being a corroborative of that next preceding it. (TA.) And حَلَفَ يَمِينًا بَتْلَةً He swore a decided [or an irrevocable] oath. (M, TA. [See also a similar phrase voce بَتُّ.]) b2: Also Truth; or true: whence بَتْلًا in truth; or truly. (TA.) بَتُولٌ A shoot, or an offset, of a palm-tree, cut off from its mother-tree, and independent thereof; as also ↓ بَتِيلَةٌ, (As, T, S, M, K,) and ↓ بَتِيلٌ. (M, K.) b2: A virgin, that is cut off from husbands: (S:) a woman that withholds herself from men, (T,) or that is cut off from men, (M, K,) having no desire for them, (T, M, TA,) nor need of them; (T;) and, with the art. ال, applied to the Virgin Mary; (M, K;) as also ↓ بَتِيلٌ: (M, K:) with the art. ال, it is applied also to Fátimeh, the daughter of Mohammad, because she was separated from the [other] women of her age and nation by chasteness and excel-lence and religion and [other] grounds of pretension to respect: (Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà, T, K: *) or it signifies, (S,) or signifies also, (K,) a woman detached from worldly things, and devoted to God; (S, K;) as also ↓ بَتِيلٌ and ↓ بَتِيلَةٌ. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) بَتِيلٌ: see بَتُولٌ, in three places. b2: Also Slender; (Ham p. 589;) applied to a waist; (Ham, TA;) as also ↓ مُبَتَّلٌ. (TA.) b3: A tree having its racemes pendulous. (K. [See also مُبْتِلٌ.]) b4: A watercourse (Ibn-'Abbád, M, K) in the lower part of a valley: pl. بُتُلٌ. (M, K.) بَتِيلَةٌ: see بَتُولٌ, in two places. b2: Also Any limb, or member, (Lth, T, S, M, K,) with its flesh, (Lth, T, S,) separate from others, (M, K,) or by itself: (Lth, T:) pl. بَتَائِلُ.

(K.) b3: And أَبْتَلُ, applied to a man, Wide between the shoulders. (T.) مُبْتِلٌ, (As, T, S,) or مُبْتِلَةٌ, (M, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, مُبْتَلَة,]) the first being [in the opinion of ISd] pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] of the second, like as تَمْرٌ is of تَمرَةٌ, (M,) A palmtree (نَخْلَةٌ) having a shoot, or an offset, cut off from it and independent of it; (As, T, S, M, K;) and used in like manner as a pl. ; i. e., the first is also used as a pl.: (S:) or the first signifies solitary, or isolated: (Ibn-Habeeb, TA:) or of which the racemes are pendulous. (TA. [See also بَتِييلٌ.]) مُبَتَّلٌ: see بَتيِلٌ. b2: مُبَتَّلَةٌ, applied to a woman, Beautiful, elegant, or pretty; (K;) as though her beauty were divided into portions (↓ بُتِّلَ, i. e. قُطِّعَ,) [and distributed in due proportions] upon her limbs: (M, * K:) or perfect in make, (S,) whose flesh is not accumulated, one portion upon another, (S, M, K,) but distinctly disposed; this latter being said by some to be the meaning: (M:) or, accord. to Lh, (M, TA,) having a lankness, or looseness, in her limbs; (M, K, TA;) not having them compressed, one upon another; (M:) or as though the flesh were cut off from them: (TA:) and in like manner, مُبَتَّلٌ applied to a camel: (M, K:) not applied as an epithet to a man: (S, M, K:) or مُبَتَّلَةُ الخَلْقِ signifies distinct in make from the generality of women; excelling them [therein]: (Aboo-Sa'eed, T, TA:) or perfect in make: or having every part beautiful in itself; not dependent [for its beauty] upon another part: (T:) or beautiful in make; not with one part falling short of another [in beauty]; not being beautiful in the eye and ugly in the nose, nor beautiful in the nose and ugly in the eye; but perfect. (IAar, TA.) مُنْبَتِلٌ Cut off, or severed. (S.) b2: [and hence,] عَزِيمَةٌ مُنْبَتِلَةٌ An irrevocable determination or resolution. (TA.)

بدل

1 بَدَلَ, inf. n. بَدَالٌ: see 2, in three places.2 تَبْدِيلٌ properly signifies [The changing, or altering, a thing; or] the changing, or altering, the form, or fashion, or semblance, or the quality, or condition, [of a thing,] to another form, &c., while the substance remains the same; (Th, T, TA;) or the changing a thing from its state, or condition; (Ibn-'Arafeh, TA;) or the changing a thing without substitution: (S:) but the Arabs have used it also in the sense of ↓ إِبْدَالٌ, (Mbr, T, TA,) which signifies [the changing a thing by substitution; exchanging it; replacing it with another thing; or] the removing, or displacing, the substance [of a thing], and introducing anew another substance. (Th, T, TA.) You say, بَدَّلْتُهُ, inf. n. تَبْدِيلٌ, (M, * Msb, K,) meaning I changed it, or altered it; (M, K) or I changed, or altered, the form, or fashion, or semblance, or the quality, or condition, of it; (Msb;) as in the phrase, بَدَّلْتُ الخَاتَمَ بِالحَلْقَةِ [I changed, or altered, the signet-ring into the simple ring], said when one has melted the former and made of it a simple ring; (Fr, T, TA;) and بَدَّلَ اللّٰهُ السَّيِئَّاتِ حَسَنَاتٍ [God changed the evil deeds into good deeds]; the verb being doubly trans. by itself because it has the meaning of جَعَلَ and صَيَّرَ. (Msb. [But see what follows.]) ↓ أَبْدَلْتُهُ بِكَذَا, [in the S, أَبْدَلْتُ الشَّىْءَ بِغَيْرِهِ, without explanation,] inf. n. إِبْدَالٌ, [I changed it by substituting for it such a thing, or exchanged it for such a thing, or replaced it with such a thing,] is said when one has removed the first, and put the second in its place; (Msb;) as in the phrase, أَبْدَلْتُ الخَاتَمَ بِالحَلْقَةِ [I changed the signet-ring by substituting for it the simple ring; exchanged the signet-ring for the simple ring; or replaced the signet-ring with the simple ring]; said when one removes the one, and puts the other in its place: (Fr, T, TA:) and this verb is also made doubly trans. by itself, like بَدَّلْتُ, (Msb,) which is used in the sense of أَبْدَلْتُ [as shown above]; (Mbr, T, TA;) for instance, where it is said, [in the Kur lxvi. 5,] عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ

أَزْوَجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ [May-be, his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in exchange wives better than you]; accord to one reading, يُبَدِّلَهُ (Msb.) An ex. of the latter of these two verbs in the sense of the former is the saying in the Kur [xxv. 70], يُبَدِّلُ اللّٰهُ سَيِّآتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ [God will change their evil deeds by substituting for them good deeds]; i. e. will cancel the evil deeds and put in their place good deeds: but in the saying in the Kur [iv. 59], كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُمْ بَدَّلْنَاهُمْ جُلُودًا غَيْرَهَا [Whenever their skins are thoroughly burned, we will change the condition thereof to them into the condition of other skins], the meaning is, that the first condition of their skins shall be restored; so that the substance is one, but the condition is different. (Mbr, T, TA.) You say also, بَدَّلَهُ اللّٰهُ مَنَ الخَوْفِ أَمْنًا [God gave him in exchange for fear, or in lieu of fear, security]. (S.) [and بَدَّلَهُ بِهِ كَذَا He gave him in exchange for it, or in lieu of it, such a thing: see Kur xxxiv. 15.

And بدّل مَكَانَهُ كَذَا He gave in exchange for it, or in lieu of it, such a thing: see Kur vii. 93 and xvi. 103.] بَدَّلَ حُسْنًا بَعْدَ سُوْءٍ, in the Kur [xxvii. 11], means He hath done good [by way of exchange after evil]; i. e., repented; (Jel;) or بَدَّلَ ذَنْبُهُ بِالتَوْبَةِ [hath exchanged his sin for repentance]. (Bd.) تَبْدِيلٌ and ↓ إِبْدَالٌ both signify The act of exchanging [a thing for another thing]; or making [a thing] to be a substitute [for another thing]; (KL, PS;) and so does ↓ بَدَالٌ. (KL.) You say, بدّل الشَّىْءَ مِنَ الشَىْءِ, (M, K, *) and مِنْهُ ↓ ابدلهُ, i. e. اِتَّخَذَهُ مِنْهُ بَدلًا [here meaning He exchanged the thing for the thing; or, more literally, he made the thing a substitute for the thing]. (M, K. [In the text of the former of these, as given in the TT, instead of اِتَّخَذَهُ, I find تَخِذَ (a dial. var. of اِتَّخَذَ) without the affixed pronoun, which is meant to be understood or is omitted inadvertently by the transcriber: and here it should be observed, that the explanation which I have rendered as above admits of another meaning, namely, أَخَذَهُ مِنْهُ بَدَلًا

“he took it as a substitute for it:” in the M, immediately before, أَخَذَهُ مِنْهُ بَدَلًا is given as the explanation of the phrases تبدّل الشَّىْءَ and بِالشَّىْءِ, and استبدلهُ and بِهِ: see 10.]) You say also, الثَّوْبَ بِغَيْرِهِ ↓ بَدَلْتُ, aor. ـُ [inf. n. بَدَالٌ, mentioned and explained above, I exchanged the garment, or piece of cloth, for another; or made it to be a substitute for another;] and ↓ اِسْتَبْدَلْتُهُ بِغَيْرِهِ signifies the same. (Msb. [But the latter phrase has more frequently another meaning, explained below: see 10.]) [↓ ابدلهُ in the phrases ابدلهُ كَذَا as meaning He changed it into, or substituted for it, such a thing, and ابدلهُ مِنْ كَذَا as meaning he changed it from, or substituted it for, such a thing, is more common than بدّله, which is used in the same sense; as ↓ بَدَلَهُ is also; for] AO applies the term ↓ مَبْدُولٌ [in lieu of the more common term ↓ مُبْدَلٌ] to a letter that is changed from another letter, as in مَدَهْتُهُ for مَدَحْتُهُ; and this shows that بَدَلْتُ is trans. [and signifies I changed, &c.]. (Az, TA.) 3 مُبَادَلَةٌ and ↓ تَبَادَلٌ signify the same, (S,) namely, The act of exchanging with another or others. (PS.) You say, بادلهُ, inf. n. مُبَادَلَةٌ and بِدَالٌ [in the CK erroneously written with fet-h to the ب], He exchanged, or made an exchange, with him; or] he gave him the like of that which he took, or received, from him; (IDrd, * M, K;) for instance, a garment, or piece of cloth, in the place of another; (Lth, T, Msb, * in explanation of the former inf. n.;) and a brother in the place of a brother. (Lth, T.) And ↓ تَبَادَلَا They exchanged, or made an exchange, each with the other; or each gave to the other the like of that which he took, or received, from him. (TA.) نُبَادِلُهْ, ending a verse of El-Kulákh, means for whom we would take a substitute: El-Marzookee says, it is for نُبَادِلُ بِهِ النَّاسَ [for whom we would make an exchange with the people]; the preposition being suppressed. (Ham p. 465.) 4 ابدلهُ, inf. n. إِبْدَالٌ: see 2, in five places.5 تبدّل It (a thing, M) became changed, or altered. (M, K.) b2: In the saying of the rájiz, فَبُدِّلَتْ وَالدَّهْرُ ذُو تَبَدُّلِ the meaning is, ذو تَبْدِيل [i. e. the meaning of the whole is, And, or but, she was changed, or altered; for time has the property of changing, or altering]. (M.) A2: See also 10, in three places.6 تَبَاْدَلَ see 3, in two places.10 استبدل الشَّىْءَ and بِالشَّىْءِ, and ↓ تبدّلهُ and بِهِ, (M, K, *) He took a substitute, or a thing in exchange, for the thing. (M.) You say, استبدل الشَّىْءَ بِغَيْرِهِ, and بِهِ ↓ تبدّلهُ, He took the thing [as a substitute, or in exchange, for another; or] in the place of another. (S.) And استبدل ثَوْبًا مَكَانَ ثَوْبٍ [He took a garment, or piece of cloth, in the place, or in lieu, of a garment, &c.]; and أَخًا مَكَانَ أَخٍ [a brother in the place, or in lieu, of a brother]. (Lth, T.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 58], أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ الَّذِى هُوَ أَدْنَى بِالَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ Will ye take in exchange that which is worse for that which is better? (Jel. [See also other exs. in the Kur ix. 39 and xlvii. last verse.]) and الكُفْرَ بِالْإِيمَانِ ↓ مَنْ يَتَبَدَّلِ [Whoso adopteth infidelity in lieu of faith]. (Kur ii. 102. [See also other exs. in the Kur iv. 2 and xxxiii. 52.]) b2: See also 2, last sentence but one.

بِدْلٌ: see the next paragraph, in four places.

بَدَلٌ and ↓ بِدْلٌ, (Fr, T, S, M, Msb, K,) like مَثَلٌ and مِثْلٌ, and شَبَهٌ and شِبْهٌ, (Fr, T, S,) and نَكَلٌ and نِكَلٌ, the only other instances of the kind, i. e. of words of both these measures, that have been heard, accord. to AO, (S, TA, [but in one copy of the S, I find A'Obeyd,]) and ↓ بَدِيلٌ (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) all signify the same; (S, M, Msb, K;) namely, A substitute; a thing given, or received, or put, or done, instead of, in place of, in lieu of, or in exchange for, another thing; a compensation; syn. خَلَفٌ, (M, K,) and عِوَضٌ: (Kull:) بَدَلُ الشَّىْءِ [and البَدَلُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ] and ↓ بِدْلُهُ ↓ بَدِيلُهُ meaning الخَلَفُ مِنْهُ [the substitute for the thing; &c.]; (M, K;) i. e., another thing: (S:) pl. أَبْدَالٌ, (IDrd, Msb, K,) which, as pl. of ↓ بَدِيلٌ, has few parallels. (IDrd, TA.) Sb says, [making a distinction between بَدَلٌ and ↓ بَدِيلٌ,] you say, إِنَّ بَدَلَكَ زَيْدٌ, i. e. Verily Zeyd is in thy place: but if you put بَدَل in the place of بَدِيلِ, you say, إِنَّ بَدَلَكَ زَيْدٌ, i. e. ↓ إِنَّ بِدَيلَكَ زَيْدٌ [Verily thy substitute is Zeyd]: and a man says to another, Go thou with such a one; and he replies, مَعِىَ رَجُلٌ بَدَلُهُ, i. e. With me is a man who stands in his stead, and is in his place, or who will stand &c. (M.) You say also, بَلَ كَذَا [and بَدَلًا مِنْ كَذَا], meaning Instead of, in the place of, in lieu of, or in exchange for, such a thing. (Kull.) [And بَدَلَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا Instead of thy doing thus.] b2: الأَبْدَالُ (IDrd, S, M, K, &c.) and البُدَلَآءُ (TA) [The Substitutes, or Lieutenants;] certain righteous persons, of whom the world is never destitute; when one dies, God substituting another in his place: (S:) certain persons by means of whom God rules the earth; (M, K;) consisting of seventy men, (IDrd, M, K,) according to their assertion, of whom the earth is never destitute; (IDrd, TA;) forty of whom are in Syria, and thirty in the other countries; (IDrd, M, K;) none of them dying without another's supplying his place, (M, K,) from the rest of mankind; (K;) and therefore they are named ابدال: (M:) accord. to Abu-lBakà, as stated by El-Munáwee, it seems that they meant [by this appellation] the substitutes and successors of the prophets; and accord. to some, they were seven, neither more nor fewer, by means of whom God takes care of the seven climates; one being successor of Abraham (ElKhaleel), and to him pertains the first climate; the second, of Moses (El-Keleem); the third, of Aaron; the fourth, of Idrees; the fifth, of Joseph; the sixth, of Jesus; and the seventh, of Adam: (TA: [in which is also mentioned a treatise denying their existence, and disapproving of the assertion that by means of them God takes care of the earth:]) the sing. is بَدَلٌ and ↓ بِدْلٌ, (T,) or ↓ بَدِيلٌ. (IDrd, S.) b3: حُرُوفُ البَدَلِ (M, K) The letters of substitution; those which are substituted for other letters; not those which are substituted in consequence of idghám. (M.) [The letters included under this appellation differ accord. to different authors: see De Sacy's Gram. Ar.

2nd ed. i. 33.] b4: ↓ بِدْلٌ (Kr, M, K) and بَدَلٌ (M, K,) applied to a man, also signify Generous, and noble: (Kr, * M, K:) and used in these senses, [says ISd,] they are, in my opinion, not devoid of implication of the meaning of a substitute: (M:) the pl. is أَبْدَالٌ (M, K.) بَدِيلٌ: see بَدَلٌ, in six places بَدَّالٌ A seller of eatables (A Heyth, T, K) of every kind: thus he is called by the Arabs; (A Heyth, T;) because he changes one sale for another; selling one thing to-day and another to-morrow: (AHát, TA:) the vulgar say, بَقَّالٌ. (A Heyth, T, K.) b2: Also One who has no more property than is sufficient for his purchasing one thing, and who, when he sells this, buys another thing in exchange for it. (TA in art. جدل.) [Hence,] هٰذَا رَأْىُ الجَدَّالِينَ وَالبَدَّالِينَ is a phrase used as meaning This is flimsy opinion. (TA in the present art. and in art. جدل, [but in the latter without the و,] on the authority of AHeyth.) مُبْدَلٌ: see 2.

مَبْدَلٌ: see 2.

بون

1 بَانَهُ, aor. ـُ (S in art. بين, Msb, K,) inf. n. بَوْنٌ, (Msb, TA,) i. q. بَانَهُ aor. ـِ (S ubi suprà K,) inf. n. بَيْنٌ, (TA,) meaning He excelled him; (S* ubi suprà, Msb;) he surpassed him in excellence and in manly virtue: so in the Iktitáf. (TA.) بَانٌ [a coll. gen. n., The ben-tree; a species of moringa; so in the present day;] a kind of tree, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) well known: (Msb:) n. un. with ة: (S, Mgh, Msb:) its seed, or grain, [called حَبُّ البَانِ and جَوْزُ البَانِ and فُسْتُقُ البَانِ, the glans unguentaria, or nux unguentaria, or ben-nut,] has a good, or pleasant, [fragrant] oil, (K,) called دُهْنُ البَانِ [oil of ben], (S, Mgh, Msb,) and simply بَانٌ, the prefixed noun being suppressed: (Mgh:) [Az says,] it is the pl. of بَانَةٌ. which is a certain tree having a fruit, or produce, which is perfumed with aromatics, after which its oil is expressed, of a good [or fragrant] quality: (T in art. بنى: its seed, or grain, is good for [removing] the [affections of the skin termed] بَرَش and نَمَش and كَلَف and حَصَف and بَهَق and سَعَفَة and the mange, or scab, and for the peeling of the skin, applied in the form of a liniment with vinegar; and for hardness of the liver and the spleen, made into a beverage with vinegar; and a مِثْقَال thereof, drunk, is an emetic, which loosens crude phlegm: (K:) AHn says, (TA,) it is a kind of tree that grows tall, in a straight, or an erect, manner, like as grows the [species of tamarisk called]

أَثْل, and its leaves are [of the kind termed] هَدَب, like those of the اثل, but its wood has no hardness: the n. un. is with پ: Aboo-Ziyád says, it is of the [trees called] عِضَاه, and has long هدب, intensely green; it grows upon [hills, or what are termed]

هَضْب; and its fruit resembles the pods of the [species of kidney-bean called] لُوبِيَآء, except that its greenness is intense; and in it is a seed, or grain, from which is extracted the oil of the بان: on account of the straightness of its growth and of the growth of its braches, and their length and tenderness, the poets liken thereto the tender girl of tall and beautiful, or just, stature; saying كَأَنَّهَا بَانَةٌ [As though she were a ben-tree], and كَأَنَّهَا غُصْنُ بَانٍ [As though she were a branch of the ben-tree], &c.: thus does Keys Ibn-El-Kha- teem: (M in art. بين:) and so does Imra-el- Keys. (TA.) [See an ex. voce بَرَهْرَهَةٌ.] b2: [It is also applied in the present day to A species of willow, the salix Aegyptia of Linnæus, properly called in Arabic خِلَاف: and this is said to be meant by modern Arab poets when they liken an elegant girl to a twig of the بان; but probably from their erroneously supposing this tree to be meant in the same case by the older poets.]

بَوْنٌ Excellence: an excellent quality; (S in art. بين, Msb;) as also ↓ بَوْنَةٌ: (IAar; T:) or the distance, space, or interval, between tow things; as also darr; بُونٌ. (M, K.) You say, بَيْنَهُمَا بَوْنٌ بَعِيدٌ (T, S, Msb*) and بَيْنٌ بَعِيدٌ (T, S) [Between them two (meaning two men) is a wide distance]; i. e. between their tow degrees of rank or dignity, or between the estimations in which they are commonly held: (Msb:) the former phrase is the more chaste: (S:) when corporeal distance is meant, one says, بَيْنَهُمَا بَيْنٌ, with ى; (Msb;) or in the case of [literal] distance, one says, إِنَّ بَيْنَهُمَا لَبَيْنًا; not otherwise. (S.) بُونٌ: see بَوْنٌ.

بَوْنَةٌ: see بَوْنٌ b2: Also Mutual separation. (IAar, T.)
