And خَارَاللّٰهُ لَكَ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ [May God do good to thee, bless thee, prosper thee, or favour thee, in this affair: or] may God cause thee to have, or appoint to thee, good in this affair: (K:) or may God choose for thee the better thing [in this affair]. (A.) الّٰهُمَّ خِرْلِى occurs in a trad., meaning O God, choose for me the better of the two things. (TA.) b3: See also 8. b4: خَارَهُ عَلَى

(A.) b2: See also 1. It is said in a trad., خَيَّرَ بَيْنَ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ, meaning He preferred some among the houses of the Assistants before others of them. (TA.) And in another trad., خُيِّرَ, meaning He was preferred, and pronounced to have surpassed, or overcome, or won, in a contest, or dispute.

[with respect to form, though more commonly used than the former], (TA,) [How good is such a one!] phrases similar to مَاأَشَّرَهُ and مَا شَّرَهُ [which have the contr. meaning]. (TA.) اللَّبَنَ لِلْمَرِيضِ ↓ مَا خَيْرَ [How good is milk for the diseased!], (K, * TA,) with nasb to the ر and ن, is an expression of wonder: (K:) it was said to Khalaf El-Ahmar, by an Arab of the desert, in the presence of Aboo-Zeyd; whereupon Khalaf said to him, “What a good word, if thou hadst not defiled it by mentioning it to the [common] people! ” and Aboo-Zeyd returned to his companions, and desired them, when Khalaf ElAhmar should come, to say, all together, these words (ما خير اللبن للمريض), [in order to vex him], and they did so. (TA.) 5 تخيّر, as an intrans. v.: see 2.

It is said in the Kur [vii. 154], وَاخْتَارَ مُوسَى قَوْمِهِ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا [And Moses chose from his people seventy men]. (TA.) وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَى عِلْمٍ, in the Kur [xliv. 31, Verily we have chosen them with knowledge], may be indicative of God's producing good, or of his preferring them before others. (TA.) 10 استخار He sought, desired, or asked for, خِيرَة (S, Msb, K) or خِيَرَة (as in some copies of the K) [i. e. the blessing, prospering, or favour, of God; &c.].

(A.) b2: See also 8.

خَيْرٌ [Good, moral or physical; anything that is good, real or ideal, and actual or potential; and, being originally an inf. n., used as sing and pl.;] a thing that all desire; such as intelligence, for instance, and equity; (Er-Rághib, and so in some copies of the K;) [or goodness;] and excellence; and what is profitable or useful; benefit; (Er-Rághib;) contr. of شَرٌّ: (S, A, Msb:) pl. خُيُورٌ, (Msb, K,) and also, accord. to the Msb, ↓ خِيَارٌ: (TA:) [but this latter seems to be properly pl. only of خَيْرٌ used as an epithet (see below) and as a noun denoting the comparative and superlative degrees: it may however be used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant:] خير is of two kinds: namely, absolute خير, which is what is desired in all circumstances and by every person: and what is خير [or good] to one and شرّ [or evil] to another; as, for instance, (Er-Rághib,) wealth, or property: (Zj, L in art. شد, Er-Rághib, K:) it has this last signification, namely wealth, or property, in the Kur, ii. 176 (S, TA) and ii. 274 and xxiv. 33 and xli. 49: or in the first and second of these instances it is thus called to imply the meaning of wealth, or property, that has been collected in a praiseworthy manner, or it means much wealth or property; and this is its meaning in the first of the instances mentioned above, agreeably with a trad. of 'Alee; and also in the Kur, c. 8: (TA:) [being used as a pl. (as well as a sing.), it may be also rendered good things:] and it is also used by the Arabs to signify horses; (K, * TA;) and has this meaning in the Kur, xxxviii. 31: (TA:) [it is often best rendered good fortune; prosperity; welfare; wellbeing; weal; happiness; or a good state or condition: and sometimes bounty, or beneficence.] رَجُلٌ قَلِيلُ الخَيْرِ means [A man possessing little, or no, good; possessing few, or no, good things; or poor: and in whom is little, or no, good or goodness; or niggardly: and also] a man who does little good: (TA in art. عص:) or [who does no good;] who is not near to doing good; denoting the nonexistence of good in him. (Msb in art. قل.) [Thus it sometimes means the same as رَجُلٌ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ A man in whom is no good or goodness; devoid of goodness; worthless.] And قِلَّةُ خَيْرٍ means Poverty: and also niggardliness. (A and TA in art. جحد.) هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ وَالخِيرِ is explained voce خِيرٌ.

عَلَىيَدَىِ الخَيْرِ وَاليُمْنِ [May it be with the aid of good fortune and prosperity] is a prayer used with respect to a marriage. (A 'Obeyd, TA.) And إِنَّكَ مَا وَخَيْرًا means مَعَ خَيْرٍ, i. e., Mayest thou meet with, or attain, good. (K.) b2: خَيْرٌ in the phrase فُلَانٌ خَيْرٌ resembles an epithet [like ↓ خَيِّرٌ, and signifies Good; or possessing good]; (Akh, S;) therefore the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ, (Akh, S, Msb, *) as occurring in the Kur, lv. 70; and they do not [there] mean by it [the comparative or superlative signification of the measure] أَفْعَلُ: (Akh, S:) you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيِّرٌ, (S, A, Msb,) meaning [A good man; or] a man possessing خَيْر [or good]; (Msb;) and رَجُلٌ خَيْرٌ: (S:) and in like manner, ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ خَيِّرَةٌ and خَيْرَةٌ, (S, Msb,) meaning [A good woman; or] a woman excellent in beauty and disposition: (Msb:) or خَيْرٌ and ↓ خَيِّرٌ signify possessing much خَيْر [or good], (K,) applied to a man; (TA;) and in the same sense you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيْرَى, and ↓ خُورَى, and ↓ خِيَرى: and the fem. of the first is خَيْرَةٌ; and of the second, ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (K:) and the pl. [of pauc.] (of the first, TA) is أَخْيَارٌ, and [of mult.] خِيَارٌ: (A, Msb, K:) you say also خِيَارُ المَالِ, meaning The excellent of the camels or the like: (Msb, K:) and in like manner you say of men &c.: (TA:) [see also below:] and the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ: (Msb:) خِيَارٌ is contr. of أَشْرَارٌ, (S, Mgh,) [thus] used as an epithet: (Mgh:) and ↓ خَيْرَةٌ [used as a subst.] signifies anything excellent; and the pl. thereof in this sense, خَيْرَاتٌ, occurs in the Kur, ix. 89: (S:) or خَيْرٌ, (K,) or the fem. خَيْرَةٌ, (Lth,) or each, (K.) signifies excellent in beauty: (Lth, K:) and ↓ خَيِّرٌ and خَيِّرَةٌ signify excellent in righteousness (Lth, K) and religion: (K:) or there is no difference in the opinion of the lexicologists [in general] between خَيْرَةٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (Az:) accord. to Zj, خَيْرَاتٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَاتٌ, both occurring in different readings of the Kur, lv. 70, signify good in dispositions: accord. to Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, خَيْرَةٌ, applied to a woman, signifies generous in race, exalted in rank or quality or reputation, goodly in face, good in disposition, possessing much wealth, who, if she bring forth, brings forth a generous child: (TA:) [↓ خِيَارٌ is also applied as an epithet to a sing. subst., either masc. or fem.:] you say جَمَلٌ خِيَارٌ and نَاقَةٌ خِيَارٌ, meaning A he-camel [that is excellent or] excellent and brisk and so a she-camel. (TA.) See also مُخْتَارٌ, in three places. In the saying لَعَمَرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرُ, the word خَيْر is in the nom. case as an epithet of عَمْر; [so that the phrase lit. means By the good life of thy father;] but properly it should be لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرِ [By the life of thy good father]: and the like is said with شَرّ. (TA.) [See also art. عمر.]

b3: خَيْرٌ is also used to denote superiority: one says, هٰذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ هٰذَا This is better than this: and in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir, ↓ هٰذَا أَخْيَرُ مِنْ هٰذَا, with أ, and in like manner, أَشَّرُ; but the rest of the Arabs drop the أ in each case: (Msb:) you say, مِنْكَ ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ [He is better than thou], and in like manner, أَشَّرُ مِنْكَ; and هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ, and in like manner, شَرٌّ مِنْكَ; and, [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ,] مِنْكَ ↓ خُيَيْرٌ, and in like manner, شُرَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) Youalso say, when you mean to express the signification of superiority, فُلَانَةٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a woman is the best of mankind]; but not خَيْرَةُ: [see, however, what will be found cited hereafter from the K,] and فُلَانٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a man is the best of mankind]; but not ↓ أَخْيَرُ [unless in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir]: and [it is said that] خَيْرُ when thus used does not assume the dual form nor the pl., because it has the signification of [the measure] أَفْعَلُ: for though a poet uses the dual form, he uses it as a contraction of the dual of خَيِّرٌ, like مَيْتٌ and مَيِّتٌ, and هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ: (S:) [but. this remark in the S is incorrect: for both خَيْر and ↓ أَخْيَر, when used in such phrases as those to which J here refers, have pl. forms of frequent occurrence, and of which examples will be found below; and, as is said by I 'Ak (p. 239), and by many other grammarians, you may say, الزَّيْدَانِ أَفْضَلَا القَوْمِ, and الزَّيْدُونَ أَفْضَلُو القَوْمِ and أَفَاضِلُ القَوْمِ, and also هِنْدُ فُضْلَىالنِّسَآءِ, &c.; and such concordance is found in the Kur, vi. 123; and is even said by many to be more chaste than the mode prescribed by J:] it is said in the K, that you say, ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ مِنْكَ, like خَيْرُ; and when you mean the signification of superiority, you say فُلَانٌ خَيْرَةٌ النَّاسِ, with ة, and فُلَانَةُ خَيْرُهُمْ, without ة: but [SM says,] I know not how this is; for in the S is said what is different from this, and in like manner by Z in several places in the Ksh; and what is most strange is, that the author of the K quotes in the B the passage of J [from the S], and adopts the opinion of the leading authorities [as given in the S]: (TA:) or you say, فُلَانَةُ الخَيْرَةُ مِنَ المَرْأَتَيْنِ [Such a woman is the better of the two women]: and هِىَ الخَيْرَةُ, and ↓ الخِيرَةُ, [so in the TA, but in the CK الخِيَرَةُ,] and ↓ الخِيرَى, and ↓ الخُورَى, [the last being fem. of أَخْيَرُ, originally خُيْرَى, and so, app., the last but one, She is the better, or best:] (K:) and [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ] you say, أَهْلِهِ ↓ هُوَ خُيَيْرُ [He is the best of his family]: (Ibn-Buzurj, TA:) one says also, to one coming from a journey, خَيْرَ مَا رُدَّ فِى أَهْلٍ

وَمَالٍ, meaning May God make that with which thou comest [back] to be the best of what is brought back by the absent with family and property; (As, Meyd, TA;) or, as some relate it, خَيْرُ, i. e. رَدُّكَ خَيْرُ رَدٍّ [may thy bringing back be the best bringing back]; and فى is used in the sense of مَعَ: (Meyd:) [أَخْيَارٌ is pl. of pauc., and خِيَارٌ pl. of mult., and so app. is خِيرَانٌ, of خَيْرٌ thus used; and ↓ أَخَايِرُ is pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so is أَخْيَرُونَ applied to rational beings: in the TA, أَخَايِرُ is said to be a pl. pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so خِيرَانٌ; but this is app. a mistake, probably of transcription:] you say رَجُلٌ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ and أَخْيَارِهِمْ and ↓ أَخَايِرِهِمْ [A man of the best of mankind]: (A, TA:) and لَكَ خِيَارُ هٰذِهِ الإِبِلِ, and ↓ خِيرَتُهَا, [Thine are, or is, or shall be, the best of these camels,] alike with respect to a sing. and a pl.: (TA:) and إِبِلِهِ ↓ نَحَرَ خِيرَةَ and إِبِلِهِ ↓ خُورَةَ [He slaughtered the best of his camels]: (IAar, TA:) and ↓ هُمُ الأَخْيَرُونَ [They (meaning men) are the better, or best]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) A2: مَا خَيْرَ for مَا أَخْيَرَ: see 4, in two places.

A3: خَيْرُ بَوَّآءُ [from the Persian خِيرْبُوَا Lesser cardamom;] a kind of small grain, resembling the قَاقُلَّة [or common cardamom], (K,) of sweet odour. (TA.) خِيرٌ Generousness; generosity; (S, A, Msb, K;) liberality; munificence. (Msb.) You say, فُلَانٌ ذُو خِيرٍ Such a one is a possessor of generousness, or generosity, &c. (Msb.) And هُوَ مِنْ وَالخِيرِ ↓ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ [He is of the people of good, or of wealth, &c., and of generosity]. (A.) b2: Eminence; elevated state or condition; nobility. (IAar, K.) b3: Origin.

خَيْرَةٌ fem. of خَيْرٌ [q. v.] used as an epithet: pl. خَيْرَاتٌ. (Akh, S, Msb.) b2: [Also, used as a subst., or as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant, A good thing, of any kind: a good quality; an excellency: and a good act or action: &c.: pl. as above:] see خَيْرٌ, in the former half of the paragraph.

خِيرَةٌ: see خَيْرٌ, in three places, towards the end of the paragraph: b2: and see خِيَرَةٌ, in four places: b3: and خِيَارٌ. b4: It is also a subst. from خَارَاللّٰهُ لَكَ فِىهٰذَاالأَمْرِ, (S,) and so ↓ خِيَرَةٌ; both signifying [The blessing, prospering, or favour, of God; his causing one to have, or appointing to one, good in an affair: or his choosing for one the better thing in an affair: or] the state that results to him who begs God to cause him to have good, or to choose for him the better thing, in an affair. (TA.) You say, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ خِيرَةً مِنَ اللّٰهِ [That was through God's blessing, prospering, or favour; &c.: or through God's choosing the better thing in the affair]. (A.) خِيَرَةٌ and ↓ خِيرَةٌ (of which the former is the better known, TA) are substs. from اِخْتَارَهُ, (K,) or from اِخْتَارَهُ اللّٰهُ, (S,) both signifying A thing, man, or beast, and things, &c, that one chooses: (TA:) or [a thing, &c.,] chosen, selected, or elected: (Mgh:) as in the saying, مُحَمَّدُ خِيَرَةُ اللّٰهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ and ↓ خِيرَتُهُ [Mohammad is the chosen, or elect, of God, from his creatures]: (S, Mgh: *) or ↓ خِيرَةٌ is a subst. from الاِخْتِيَارٌ, like فِدْيَةٌ from الاِفْتِدَآءُ; and خِيَرَةٌ is syn. with خِيَارٌ and اِخْتِيَارٌ; or is from تَخَيَّرْتُ الشَّىْءَ: or, as some say, خِيرَةٌ and خِيَرَةٌ are syn.: (Msb:) see 8; and see also خِيَارٌ: and ↓ هٰذِهِ خِيرَتِى (Msb, TA) or خِيَرَتِى (TA) means This is what I choose; (Msb, (TA;) and so هٰذَا خيرتى: and هٰؤُلَآءِ خيرتى

(A, Msb.) خَمْسٌ signifies The taking one from five: and hence the saying of 'Adee Ibn-Hátim, رَبَعْتُ فِى الجَاهِلِيَّة وَخَمَسْتُ فِى الإِسْلَامِ [I took the fourth part of the spoil in the Time of Ignorance, and I took the fifth part thereof in the time of El-Islám]; meaning, I headed the army in both those states; for the commander, in the Time of Ignorance, used to take the fourth part of the spoil; and in El-Islám, the fifth part was assigned to him. (TA.) b2: خَمَسَ القَوْمَ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. خَمْسٌ, (Msb,) He was, or became, the fifth of the people: (S, A, Msb, K:) or he made them five by [adding to their number] himself. (S, K.) b3: خَمَسَ also signifies He made fourteen to be fifteen. (T in art. ثلث.) b4: And He made forty-nine to be fifty with himself. (A'Obeyd, S in that art.) b5: خَمَسَ الحَبْلَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. خَمْسٌ, He made the rope of five strands twisted together. (TA.) A2: خَمَسَتِ الإِبِلُ The camels drank on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first. (TA.) [See خَمْسٌ.] b2: خَمَسَ, said of a horse, He came fifth in the race. (T, M, L; all in art. ثلث.) 2 خمّسهُ, inf. n. تَخْمِيسٌ, He made it five. (EshSheybánee and K, voce وَحَّدَهُ.) b2: He made it to be five-cornered; five-angled; pentagonal. (K.) b3: خَمَّسَتْ She brought forth her fifth offspring. (TA in art. بكر.) b4: And خمّسهُ He made it five-fifths. (Msb.) b5: خمّس لِامْرَأَتِهِ, or عِنْدَهَا, He remained five nights with his wife: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to any saying or action. (TA voce سَبَّعَ.) b6: تَخْمِيسٌ also signifies [The watering of land or seedproduce on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first;] the watering of land that is [next] after the تَرْبِيع. (TA.) 4 اخمس القَوْمُ The party of men became five: (S, K:) b2: also, The party of men became fifty. (M and L in art. ثلث.) b3: اخمس الرَّجُلُ The man was, or became, one whose camels came to water on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first. (S, * K, * TA.) [See خِمْسٌ.]

خَمْسٌ fem. of خَمْسَةٌ [q. v.].

خُمْسٌ: see خُمُسٌ.

خِمْسٌ The drinking of camels on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first; their drinking one day, then pasturing three days, then coming to the water on the fifth day, the first and last days, on which they drink, being thus reckoned: this is the correct explanation, accord. to Aboo-Sahl El-Khowlee; and Aboo-Zekereeyà says the like; (TA;) or their pasturing three days, and coming to the water on the fourth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering; for it is evident that this explanation is virtually the same as that preceding]: (S, K:) accord. to Lth, the drinking of camels on the fourth day, counting the day on which they returned from [the next preceding] watering; but Az says, that this is a mistake; the day of returning from watering not being counted [when it is explained as meaning the drinking on the fourth day]: (TA:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ, the only pl. form. (Sb, TA.) [See ظِمْءٌ.] Hence, فَلَاةٌ خِمْسٌ [as in copies of the K, or it may be فَلَاةُ خِمْسٍ,] A desert in which the water is far distant, so that the camels come to the water on the fourth day, exclusive of the [next preceding] day on which they drank. (Az, K, TA.) Hence also the saying, فُلَانٌ يَضْرِبُ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ (S, K *) (tropical:) Such a one makes a pretence of اخماس [or fifth-day waterings] for the purpose of اسداس [or sixth-day waterings]: i. e., he advances his camels from the خِمْس to the سِدْس: (K:) a prov.: (TA:) meaning, such a one strives to deceive, or circumvent: (S, K:) applied to him who acts towards another with artifice, pretending that he obeys him, or complies with his desire: (TA:) or to him who pretends one thing while he means another: (K:) and taken from the saying, related by AO and IAar, ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسًا لِأَسْدَاسٍ [He made a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس]; said of him who proposes a thing whereby he means another thing, which he commences and by slow degrees accomplishes: (TA:) for a man, when he desires to make a long journey, accustoms his camels to drink خِمْسًا سِدْسًا [i. e. on the fifth day and then on the sixth, in each case counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first]: (K, TA:) the origin of the saying, accord. to IAar, being this: an old man was among his camels, accompanied by his sons, men, who pastured them, and who had been long far distant from their families; and he told them one day to pasture their camels رِبْعًا [i. e. watering on the fourth day, counting the day of the next preceding watering as the first], which they did, proceeding in the way towards their families: then they proposed to do so خِمْسًا; and then, سِدْسًا: whereupon the old man, understanding what they meant, said, ye are doing nothing but making a pretence of اخماس for the purpose of اسداس: the object of your desire is not the pasturing of them, but it is only your families. (TA.) [See below, voce خُمُسٌ, a saying similar in words but different in meaning.] b2: It is also used for سَيْرُ خِمْسٍ [A journey in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days; a journey in which the second and third and fourth days are without water]. (L in art. جلذ.) You say خِمسٌ بَصْبَاصٌ, [and صَبْصَابٌ,] and قَعْقَاعٌ, and حَثْحَاثٌ, [and حَصْحَاصٌ, &c.,] i. e. A journey [in which the camels are watered only on the first and fifth days,] in the course of which, to the water, there is no flagging, by reason of its remoteness. (TA.) El-'Ajjáj uses the expression خِمْسٌ كَحَبْلِ الشَّعَرِ المُنْحَتِّ meaning, A [journey of the kind termed] خمس without any deviation, like a rope made of hair that has fallen off and that is free from any unevenness. (L, TA.) b3: خِمْسٌ also signifies The fifth young one, or offspring. (A in art. ثلث.) A2: A [garment of the kind called] بُرْد, (S, K,) of the fabric of El-Yemen; (S;) so called because first made for a king of El-Yemen named خِمْسٌ, (AA, S,) or الخِمْسُ; (K, TA;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ. (TA.) For the latter word, we find in the work of Bkh, خَمِيص, with ص; which, if correct, is masc. of خَمِيصَةٌ, which is a small kind of كِسَآء. (IAth, and L.) [The pl. of خِمْسٌ applied to a بُرْدَة is أَخْمَاسٌ.] See also مَخْمُوسٌ, in four places.

خُمُسٌ and ↓ خُمْسٌ A fifth part; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ, (S, in art. ثلث, and IAmb and Msb,) agreeably with a rule applicable in the case of every one of the units, except ثَلِيثٌ: (TA:) some allow this last; but Az disallows it, and خميس also: (S in art. ثلث:) pl. أَخْمَاسٌ. (Msb, TA.) b2: [Hence, app.,] ضَرَبَ أَخْمَاسَهُ فِى

أَسْدَاسِهِ He turned his five senses towards his six relative points; [namely, above, below, before, behind, right, and left:] an allusion to the collecting all the thoughts to examine a thing, and turning the attention in all directions. (MF.) خَمْسَةٌ, (S, K,) masc.; and خَمْسٌ, fem.; (S;) [Five;] a certain number. (S, K.) You say خَمْسَةُ رِجَالٍ [Five men], and خَمْسُ نِسْوَةٍ [Five women]. (S.) You say also, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمْ [I have five dirhems], with refa: and if you please, you incorporate the ة into the د [and say, خَمْسَة دَّرَاهِمَ]: but when you prefix ال to دراهم, you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [I have the five dirhems], with damm; and may not incorporate, because you have incorporated the ل into the د: and in the case of a fem. n. you say, عِنْدِى خَمْسُ القُدُورِ [I have the five cooking-pots]: also, هٰذِهِ الخَمْسَةُ الدَّرَاهِمِ [These five dirhems]; and, if you please, الدَّرَاهِمُ, using it in the manner of an epithet: and in like manner [you use the other nouns of number] to عَشَرَةٌ [inclusive]. (S.) Yousay also, صُمْنَا خَمْسًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ [We fasted during a period of five nights of the month with their days]; making لَيَالٍ to predominate over أَيَّام, when you do not mention the word ايّام, though the fasting is in the day; because the night of each day precedes the day: but when you mention the word ايّام, you say, صُمْنَا خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ [We fasted five days]. (ISk, TA.) يَعَضُّ بِالخَمْسِ means He bites the fingers: these being [five in number and] of the fem gender: (Ham p. 790:) [i. e.] خَمْسٌ means the five fingers. (Har p. 76.) [Respecting a peculiar pronunciation of the people of El-Hijáz, and a case in which خَمْسَة is imperfectly decl., see ثَلَاثَةٌ.] b2: [خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ, masc.; and خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ, fem.; Fifteen. For variations thereof, see art. عشر.]

خَمْسُونَ [Fifty, and fiftieth,] is also written and pronounced خَمِسُونَ, with kesr to the خَمَسُونَ, by poetic license, as related by Ks; or م, with fet-h, as related by others, after the manner of خَمْسَةٌ and خَمَسَاتٌ: (Fr, TA:) accord. to the T, the variation خَمِسُونَ, with kesr to the م, is [dialectic, being] similar to خَمْسَ عَشِرَةَ, with kesr to the ش [in the dial. of Nejd]. (TA.) جَاؤُوا خُمَاسَ, and ↓ مَخْمَسَ, They came five and five; [or five and five together; or five at a time and five at a time;] (K, TA;) like as they say, ثُنَآءَ and مَثْنَى, and رُبَاعَ and مَرْبَعَ: (TA:) or, accord. to A 'Obeyd, not more than أُحَادَ and ثُنَآءَ and ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ has been heard, except عُشَارَ occurring in a verse of El-Kumeyt. (TA in art. عشر.) خَمِيسٌ: see خُمُسٌ: b2: and مَخْمُوسٌ, in two places. b3: An army; because consisting of five parts, namely, the van, the body, the right wing, the left wing, and the rear; (S, A, K;) or because the spoils are divided into fifths among it; but this latter assertion requires consideration; (ISd, MF;) for this division of the spoils is an affair of the Muslim law, whereas خميس [thus applied] is an old term: (MF:) or an army having numerous weapons; syn. جَيْشٌ خَشِنٌ. (TA.) b4: يَوْمُ الخَمِيسِ, (S, Msb, K,) and simply الخَمِيسُ, Thursday; the fifth day of the week; thus used for الخَامِسُ, in like manner as الدَّبَرَانُ is applied to the star [that follows the Pleiades, for الدَّابِرُ]: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَخْمِسَةٌ and [of mult.] أَخْمِسَآءُ (S, Msb, K) and أَخَامِسُ. (Fr, TA.) Az used to say, مَضَى

الخَمِيسُ بِمَا فِيهِ [Thursday passed with what happened in it], making it sing. and masc.: but Abu-l-Jarráh used to say, مَضَىالخَمِيسُ بِمَ فِيهِنَّ, making it pl. and fem., and using it as a n. of number. (Lh, TA.) It has no dim. (Sb, S in art. امس.) A2: See also خِمْسٌ, last signification.

A3: مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ خَمِيسِ النَّاسِ هُوَ means I know not what company of men it is. (Ibn-' Abbád, Sgh, K.) خُمَاسِىٌّ A boy five spans (أَشْبَار) in height: (S, Mgh, Msb, * K:) said of him who is increasing in height [but has not attained his full stature]: (Msb:) fem. with ة: (Lth, TA:) and in like manner you say رُبَاعِىٌّ: (S, Msb:) but you do not say سُبَاعِىٌّ, (Lth, S, K,) nor سُدَاسِىٌّ; (Lth, K;) [i. e., in speaking of a boy;] for when he has attained seven spans, (S,) or six spans, (Lth, K,) he is a man: (Lth, S, K:) or to a slave you apply the epithet سداسىّ also; and to a garment, or piece of cloth, سباعىّ. (Msb.) b2: See also مَخْمُوسٌ. b3: [Also A word composed of five letters, radical only, or radical and augmentative.]

خَمِيسِىٌّ One who fasts alone on Thursday. (IAar, Th.) خَامِسٌ [Fifth]: for this you also say خَامٍ; (ISk, S, K;) whence the phrase, جَآئَ فُلَانٌ خَامِيًا [Such a one came fifth], for خَامِسًا: (ISk, S:) [fem. with ة.] b2: [خَامِسَ عَشَرَ and خَامِسَة عَشْرَةَ, the former masc. and the latter fem., meaning Fifteenth, are subject to the same rules as ثَالِثَ عَشَرَ and its fem., explained in art. ثلث, q. v.]

A2: إِبِلٌ خَامِسَةٌ (TA) and خَوَامِسُ (S, K) Camels that drink on the fifth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first: [see خِمْسٌ:] (TA:) or that pasture three days, coming to the water on the fourth day [not counting the day of the next preceding watering].

مُخَمَّسٌ A thing five-cornered; five-angled; pentagonal. (S.) [See also مُثَلَّثٌ.]

مَخْمُوسٌ Five cubits in length; applied to a spear, (S, A, K,) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ; (K;) and to a garment, or piece of cloth, (S, A, K,) as also ↓ خَمِيسٌ, (S, A, Mgh, K,) which occurs in a trad. as meaning a small garment or piece of cloth, (Mgh,) and ↓ خُمَاسِىٌّ [q. v. suprà]; (TA;) and in like manner, ↓ بُرْدَةُ أَخْمَاسٍ a [garment of the kind called] بردة fire cubits long. (ISk, TA.) Hence the saying, ↓ هُمَا فِى بُرْدَة أَخْمَاسٍ (assumed tropical:) They two have become near together, and in a state of agreement. (K.) A poet says, صَيَّرَنِى جُودُ يَدَيهِ وَمَنْ

↓ أَهْوَاهُ فِى بُرْدَةِ أَخْمَاسِ i. e., (assumed tropical:) The bounty of his hands has made me and the person whom I love to be near together, as though we were in a بردة five cubits long: (Th, TA:) app. meaning that the person thus spoken of had purchased for him a female slave, or had given for him the dowry of his wife. (Az, Sgh, TA.) You also say, ↓ لَيْتَنَافِى بُرْدَةِ أَخْمَاسٍ, a prov., meaning (assumed tropical:) Would that we were near together. (ISk, TA.) [See also بُرْدٌ.] b2: Also A rope made of five strands twisted together. (S, A, K.)

(S.) b3: خَفَضَ جَنَاحَهُ He (a bird) [lowered or] relaxed his wing, and contracted it to his side, in order that he might rest, or cease, from his flying. (TA.) b4: And the same phrase, (tropical:) He made himself gentle, easy to deal with, compliant, or obsequious. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [xv. 88], وَاخْفِضْ خَنَآحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (tropical:) And make thyself gentle, &c., to the believers: (Jel, TA:) or be thou condescending to the believers, and treat them with gentleness.

(O, K.) b5: إِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَخْفِضُ القِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ, in a trad., means Verily God, at one time, bringeth down to the ground the just, or equitable; and, at another time, exalteth him: (ISh:) or maketh ample [the means of subsistence &c.] to whom He will, and maketh scanty to whom He will: (Sgh, K:) or maketh little the portion of the means of subsistence which is the share of any created being, and maketh it much. (TA in art. قسط, q. v.). خَفْضُ العَدْلِ وَرَفْعُهُ is also explained as signifying The just's being overcome by the unjust, when men act corruptly, and the just's overcoming the unjust, when they repent, and act righteously. (TA.) [See also art. رفع.]

b6: مَازَالَتْ تَخْفِضُنِى أَرْضٌ وَتَرْفَعُنِى أُخْرَى حَتَّى وَصَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ (tropical:) [app. means One land ceased not to make me go a gentle pace, and another to make me go a vehement pace, until I came unto you: for خَفَضَ as relating to pace is probably not only intrans., as it will be seen to be below, but also trans., like its contr. رَفَعَ: or it may mean one land ceased not to make me go down, and another to make me go up, &c.; though its being tropical if having this meaning may be doubted]. (A, TA.) b7: خَفَضَ صَوْتَهُ, (A, Msb,) aor. ـِ (Msb,) inf. n. خَفْضٌ, (S, Msb, K,) (tropical:) He (a man, Msb) lowered his voice; (S, K;) did not raise his voice; (Msb;) [contr. of رَفَعَهُ, as is indicated in the A.] b8: [In most of the above-mentioned senses, ↓ خَفَّضَ is nearly; if not exactly, syn. with خَفَضَ.] b9: خَفَضَ الحَرْفَ فِى الإِعْرَابِ (assumed tropical:) He made the [final] letter to have kesreh, in inflection. (Msb.) خَفْضٌ is syn. with جَرٌّ [q. v.] (S, K) in the inflection of words: (K:) these two terms, in the inflection of words, are like كَسْرٌ in the non-inflection, in the conventional language of the grammarians. (S.) A2: خَفُضَ عَيْشُهُ, aor. ـُ [inf. n., app., خَفْضٌ, q. v. infrà,] (assumed tropical:) His life was, or became, easy; free from trouble or inconvenience, and toil or fatigue; tranquil; and plentiful.

(A.) b5: خَفَضَ بِالمَكَانِ, aor. ـِ (assumed tropical:) He remained, stayed, or abode, in the place. (K.) [See also خَافِضٌ.] A poet says, [app. using the verb in this sense,] إِنَّ شَكْلِى وَإِنَّ شَكْلَكِ شَتَّى

فَالْزَمِى الخُصَّ وَاخْفِضِى تَبْيَضِضِّى

[Verily the like of me, and verily the like of thee, are different: therefore keep thou to the booth which is our home, and remain at rest: thou wilt become fair]: the last word is for تَبْيَضِّى; a ض being added. (S.) b6: خَفَضَ, inf. n. خُفُوضٌ, also signifies (assumed tropical:) He died; said of a man. (TA.) A3: خَفَضَتِ الجَارِيَةَ, [aor. and inf. n. as below,] She circumcised the girl: [see بَظْرٌ:] (Msb:) خَفَضْتُ الجَارِيَةَ, (S,) or خُفِضَتِ الجَارِيَةُ, (A, K,) is like خَتَنْتُ الغُلَامَ, (S,) or, خُتِنَ الغُلَامُ: (A, K:) the former verb applies only to a girl: (Msb, K:) or you say sometimes, خفَضَ الصَّبِىَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. خَفْضٌ, meaning he circumcised the boy. (TA.) 2 خَفَّضَ see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph. b2: خَفِّضْ رَأْسَ البَعِيرِ Draw thou the camel's head towards the ground, that thou mayest mount him.

(TA.) b8: أُصِيبَ بِمَصَائِبَ تَخَفِّضُ المَوْتَ (assumed tropical:) He was smitten by afflictions which brought near to him death, and from which he could not escape.

مِنَ العَيْشِ (assumed tropical:) They are in an easy, or a tranquil, [or a plentiful and pleasant, or a soft or delicate,] state of life. (S.) [This phrase is said in the A to be tropical; but why, I do not see; since خَفْضٌ in the sense of دَعَةٌ is proper accord. to the same authority.] And هُوَ فِى خَفْضِ العَيْشِ (assumed tropical:) He is in an ample, and an easy, or a tranquil, state of life. (Msb.) And a poet says, لَا يَمْنَعَنَّكَ خَفْضَ العَيْشِ فِىدَعَةٍ

(TA.) Hence, in the Kur [ii. 183], كُنْتُمْ

أَنْفُسَكُمْ ↓ تَخْتَانُونَ [lit. Ye used to act unfaith fully to yourselves] means ye used to act un faithfully, one to another: (S, * TA:) or ye used to act wrongfully to yourselves: اِخْتِيَانٌ has a more intensive signification than خِيَانَةٌ. (Bd.)

(T, TA.) 2 خوّنهُ, (S, K,) inf. n. تَخْوِينٌ, (K,) He attributed to him خِيَانَة [i. e. treachery, perfidy, or unfaithfulness].

You say also, تَخَوَّنَهُمْ meaning He sought [to discover, or show,] their خِيَانَة [i. e. treachery, perfidy, or unfaithfulness], and their slip, lapse, or wrong action; and suspected them, or accused them. (TA.) b2: Also He, or it, diminished it, wasted it, impaired it, or took from it; and so ↓ خوّنهُ, and خوّن مِنْهُ: (K:) or diminished it, wasted it, impaired it, or took from it, by little and little; syn. تَنَقَّصَهُ. (JK, * S, Msb.) Yousay, تَخَوَنَنِى فُلَانٌ حَقِّى Such a one took from me by little and little of my right, or due. (S, TA.) And Dhu-r-Rummeh says, لَا بَلْ هُوَ الشَّوْقُ مِنْ دَارٍ تَخَوَّنَهَا مَرًّا سَحَابٌ وَمَرًّا بَارِحٌ تَرِبُ [No, but it is, or was, yearning of the soul arising from a place of abode from which some times raining clouds, and sometimes a hot wind carrying with it dust, took away by little and little, so as gradually to efface the traces thereof]. (S, TA.) And Lebeed says, (S, TA,) describing a she-camel, (TA,) تَخَوَّنَهَا نُزُولِى وَارْتِحَالِى

A2: Also He paid frequent attention to him, or it; or he, or it, returned to him, or it, time after time; syn. تَعَهَّدَهُ; (JK, S, K;) and so ↓ خوّنهُ: (K:) in this sense, the former verb is [said to be] from تخوّلهُ, by the substitution of ن for ل (TA.) Dhu-r-Rummeh says, [describing a young gazelle,] لَا يَنْعَشُ الطَّرْفَ إِلَّا مَا تَخَوَّنَهُ دَاعٍ يُنَادِيهِ بِاسْمِ المَآءِ مَبْغُومُ (S,) [He raises not his eye, or eyes, except when a caller calling him by the sound of مَآءِ returns to him time after time, addressed by the cry termed بُغَام:] i. e. except when he hears the بُغَام of his mother calling him by the cry مَآءِ مَآءِ: (TA in art. بغم: [it is there added, that the pass. part. n. مَبْغُوم is used in this instance for the act. part. n.; but for this I see no sufficient reason:]) he says that the young gazelle is slum bering, not raising his eye, or eyes, unless his mother comes to him time after time: or, as some say, unless his mother's call to him takes by little and little from his sleep.

A2: صدّر بَعِيرَهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَصْدِيرٌ, (TA,) He tied a cord from the girth of his camel to the part behind [or beyond] the callous lump on his breast: (K, TA:) or, accord. to Lth, (L,) one says, صدّر عَنْ بَعِيرِهِ, (M, L,) and the meaning is, he tied a cord from the تَصْدِير [or breast-girth] to the part behind [or beyond] the callous lump on the breast of his camel, to keep the تصدير in its place, when it had become loose in consequence of the animal's having become lank in the belly: the cord above mentioned is called سِنَافٌ [q. v.].

A3: See also 5, where it is expl. as intrans., in two places.3 مُصَادَرَةٌ signifies The returning, or going back, [app. with another, from water, &c.] (KL.) [The verb is probably trans., agreeably with general analogy, in all its senses; صادرهُ app. signifying primarily He returned, or went back, with him from water &c. b2: Ibr D thinks that it signifies also (assumed tropical:) He vied, or contended, with him for precedence, or priority.]

A2: Also (assumed tropical:) The exacting a fine or the like [app. from another: or the suing, or prosecuting, another, for a debt &c.]. (KL.) You say, صادرهُ عَلَى كَذَا مِنَ المَالِ (S, * K, * TA) (assumed tropical:) He desired, or sought, to obtain from him; or he demanded of him; or he sued, or prosecuted, him for; such a sum, or such an amount, of property.

As though he were, after they had outreached with their chests, from a row of [other] horses, [a wolf that had exposed himself to rain during a portion of the night, and had become wetted:] but accord. to one relation, it is ↓ صُدِّرْنَ, meaning their breasts were wetted [مِنْ عَرَقٍ] by reason of sweat: the former reading, however is the better. (S.) b3: Also (assumed tropical:) He sat, or became placed or seated, in the upper, or highest, part in the sitting-room, or sitting-place. (S, * K, * TA.) and He became advanced, or promoted.

[And thou becomest, or wilt become, red by reason of the saying that I have published, like as the fore part of the spear becomes red from blood], (S, * M,) he has made صدر fem. because the صدر of the قناة is a part of the قناة; for they [sometimes] make a noun fem. when it is prefixed to a fem. noun: (S:) or if you will, you may say that he has made صدر fem. because he meant [thereby] the قناة; and if you will, you may say that the صدر of a قناة is a قناة. (M.) [Hence,] بَنَاتُ الصَّدْرِ (tropical:) The spaces between the bones of the breast. (M, TA.) [And also] (assumed tropical:) Anxieties. (T in art. بنى.)

(M.) مَصْدَرٌ A place of returning or going back, (S, TA,) or of going, or turning, away [from water, and from a country or place, and (assumed tropical:) from an affair or thing]. (TA.

(A.) [See also another ex. in art. رحب, conj. 6.] b3: And hence [also], the مَصَادِر [pl. of مَصْدَر] of verbs: (S, TA:) مَصْدَرٌ signifies (assumed tropical:) The root of a word, from which proceed the derivatives of verbs: (Lth, TA:) [in this sense it is a conventional term of grammar and lexicology, not belonging to the classical language; but on account of the importance of understanding its true application in lexicology, it is necessary to give here a full explanation of it: it is, agreeably with its etymology, the source (lit. place) of derivation, accord. to the grammarians of ElBasrah; and is what I term an infinitive noun: it is defined as] a noun signifying, by its original application, an accident as subsisting in, or proceeding from, an agent (as الفَرَحُ [“ the being joyful ”], الضَّرْبُ [“ the act of beating ”], and القُعُودُ [“ the act of sitting ”]), or affecting an object of action, (as الجُنُونُ [“ the being possessed by a jinnee ”]), conformable to its verb, so as to comprise all the letters in that verb, either literally (as in the instances above) or virtually (as in القِتَالُ [“ the act of fighting ”], which wants the ا that is before the ت in the verb, yet wants it as to the letter only, and not virtually, wherefore it is sometimes pronounced as if with the said letter, as in قَاتَلَ قِيتَالًا, but the ا is changed into ى on account of the kesr of the letter before it), or substituting another letter for any of those letters that it wants (as in العِدَةُ [“ the act of promising ”], which wants the و that is in its verb as to the letter and virtually, but has ة substituted for it [by way of compensation]): (from a comparison of definitions &c. in the Expos. of the “ Kitab Hodood en-Nahw ” by the author of the work thus entitled, arts. مصدر and اسم مصدر; the Expos. of the “ Shudhoor edh-Dhahab ” by the author of the work thus entitled, section on the nouns that govern as verbs; I' Ak; &c.:) but the grammarians of El-Koofeh hold that the verb is the root, and that the مصدر is derived from it: (I' Ak p. 148:) some مصادر, moreover, are derived from real (as opposed to ideal) substantives, as التَّحَجُّرُ [“ the becoming stone ”] from الحَجَرُ [“ stone ”]. (Kull p. 327.) The مصدر has the same government as its own verb: it is often, and may be at pleasure, used as an ideal subst. or abstract noun: and it is often employed in the place of an act. or a pass. part. n.: (Kull, &c.:) [when thus used as an epithet, it is employed alike as sing. and pl. and masc. and fem.:] accord. to Zj, every مصدر used as an epithet is for ذُو [or ذَات &c.] followed by the مصدر, and therefore it has no dual nor pl. [nor fem.] form. (TA voce حَرَضٌ.) [It has also other uses, which are expl. in the grammars. Used as a مَصْدَر, it is sometimes made fem.; as it is also when used in the sense of a noun that is properly fem.: see صَرْفٌ, third sentence.] b4: اِسْمُ مَصْدَرٍ, called by some اِسْمٌ لِلْمَصْدَرِ, is a term applied to [(assumed tropical:) A quasi-infinitive noun; i. e.] a noun which is not a مصدر, but which is occasionally used in the place of a مصدر; like as a مصدر is used in the place of an act. part. n., and in that of a pass. part. n.: such as الوُضُوْءُ for التَّوَضُّؤُ [“ the performing of the ablution preparatory to prayer ”], and الغُسْلُ for الاِغْتِسَالُ [“ the washing of oneself ”]; each of which wants somewhat that is in its verb without substituting anything for that which is wanting. (Expos. of the “ Kitáb el-Hodood,” cited above.) This kind of noun the grammarians of El-Koofeh and Baghdád allow to govern as a مصدر; but the grammarians of ElBasrah hold that the noun governed in the accus. case in each of the exs. adduced by the former as confirmatory of their opinion is so governed by a verb understood. (Expos. of the “ Shudhoor,”

ubi suprà.) It is also applied to A proper name signifying an accident [or attribute]; as فَجَارِ and حَمَادِ, proper names, by original application, for الفَجْرَةُ and المَحْمَدَةُ [“ vice ” and “ praise ”] and the like: and this kind does not govern as a مصدر. (Expos. of the “ Kitáb Hodood enNahw,” ubi suprà; and Expos. of the “ Shudhoor,” ubi suprà.) It is also applied to [what is more properly termed اِسْمٌ لِلْمَعْنَى الحَاصِلِ بِالمَصْدَرِ, by some termed simply حَاصِلٌ بِالمَصْدَرِ, i. e. An ideal substantive, or abstract noun;] a noun applied to signify an accident [or attribute] considered abstractedly [such as صَدَرٌ signifying

“ return; ” and this kind is commonly termed in the lexicons simply an اِسْم as distinguished from a مصدر]. (Kull p. 327.) Some apply it also to what is [properly] termed مَصْدَرٌ مِيمِىٌّ [i. e. A مصدر commencing with an augmentative م], if not of the measure مُفَاعَلَةٌ: but such is really a مَصْدَر. (Expos. of the “ Shudhoor,” ubi suprà.) And some of the grammarians [and of the lexicographers likewise] apply it to A noun that signifies the instrument [or means] with [or by] which the action signified by a مصدر is performed: as الأُكْلُ [“ food,” as being “ that by means of which the act of eating (الأَكْلُ) is performed ”].
