1 بَتَّهُ, (Lth, T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـُ and بَتِّ, (S, M, Msb,) the latter anomalous, because a reduplicative verb [of this kind] having the aor. with kesr is not trans., except in certain instances, of which this is one; the other instances being عَلَّهُ, in relation to drinking, aor. ـُ and بَتِّ, and نَمَّ الحَدِيثَ, aor. ـُ and بَتِّ, and شَدَّهُ, aor. ـُ and بَتِّ, and حَبَّهُ, aor. ـِ the last having but one form [of aor. ]; (S;) inf. n. بَتٌّ: (Lth, T, S, M, A, &c.:) and ↓ ابتّهُ, (M,) inf. n. إِبْتَاتٌ: (Mgh, K:) He cut it off, severed it, separated it, or disunited it, (Lth, T, S, M, A, * Mgh, * Msb, K, *) entirely, or utterly; (Lth, T, M;) namely, a thing; (M;) a rope, or cord; (Lth, T;) and a tie, or bond, of union between two persons. (M.) b2: [بَتَّهُ and ↓ ابتّهُ, accord. to the TA, app. signify also He, or it, caused him (a man) to become unable to proceed in his journey, his camel that bore him breaking down, or stopping from fatigue, or perishing: for انبتّ as signifying “he became so” is there said to be quasi-pass. of those two verbs when it has this sense. Hence,] بَتَّهُ السَّفَرُ [The journey caused him to become cut off, &c.]. (A.) And سَاقَ دَابَّتَهُ حَتَّي بَتَّهَا [He urged on his beast so that, or until, he caused it to become cut off, &c.]: (A:) and بَعِيرَهُ ↓ أَبَتَّ He caused his camel to become cut off, &c., (قَطَعَةُ,) by travel: (M, TA:) this is not said but of a man who has forced on his camel at a hard pace, or by laborious journeying. (TA.) b3: بَتَّ طَلَاقَ امْرَأَتِهِ, (T, Msb, TA,) or طَلَاقَ المَرْأَةِ, (Mgh,) and ↓ أَبَتَّهُ, (Lth, T, Mgh, Msb,) He made the divorce of his wife, or of the woman, to be absolutely separating, (Lth, T, Mgh, Msb, TA,) so as to cut her off from return. (Msb.) Lth, with whom Az agrees, has erred in asserting that بَتَّ is intrans. and ↓ أَبَتّ trans.: (T, TA:) both are trans. and intrans., (T, Msb, TA,) as En-Nawawee asserts in the Tahdheeb el-Asmà wa-1-Loghát. (TA.) You say, الطَّلْقَةُ الوَاحِدَةُ تَبُتُّ, and ↓ تُبِتُّ, i. e. The single divorce cuts the matrimonial tie, or bond, of the woman, (تَقْطَعُ عِصْمَةَ النِّكَاحِ, T, Mgh, *) when the period during which she must wait before contracting a new marriage has ended. (T.) [See also بَتٌّ.] b4: بَتَّ عَلَيْهِ القَضَآءَ, (T, S, M, A,) inf. n. بَتٌّ; (M;) and ↓ أَبَتَّهُ; (T, S, M;) He (the judge, T) decided the judgment, or sentence, against him. (T, S, * M.) b5: بَتَّ عَلَيْهِ الشَّهَادَةَ, and ↓ أَبَتَّهَا, He decided against him by the testimony, [or pronounced the testimony decisive against him,] and compelled, or constrained, him to admit it. (M.) b6: بَتَّ شَهَادَتَهُ, and ↓ أَبَتَّهَا, He gave his testimony decisively. (Msb.) b7: أَبُتُّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ I know, or declare, decidedly, not [merely] thinking it, that he said thus. (Saheeh of Muslim.) b8: بَتَّ النِّيَّةَ He made the intention decided; or fixed it decidedly. (A.) It is said in a trad., لَا صِيَامَ لِمَنْ الصّيَامِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ↓ لَمْ يُبِتَّ, (T, S, Mgh,) or لَمْ يَبُتَّ, accord. to different recitals, (Mgh,) i. e. There is no fasting to him [meaning his fasting is null] who does not decisively impose it upon himself, by intention, from the night: (S, * Mgh:) or, who does not form the intention of fasting before daybreak, and thus cut it off from the time in which there is no fasting, namely, the night: the intention is termed بَتٌّ [and إِبْتَاتٌ] because it makes a division between non-fasting and fasting: (T, TA:) لَمْ يُبِت, from الإِبَاتَةُ, is a mistake; but لم يُبَيِّت, from التَّبْيِيتُ, [see بَيَّتَ,] is correct. (Mgh.) and it is said in another trad., نِكَاحَ هٰذِهِ النِّسَآءِ ↓ أَبِتُّوا, i. e. Decide ye the affair respecting the marriage of these women, and confirm it by its [proper] conditions: an oblique prohibition of the kind of marriage termed نِكَاحُ المُتْعَةِ, because it is a marriage not [absolutely or lawfully] decided, [being] made definite as to duration. (TA.) b9: بَتَّ also signifies He made to have, or take, effect; he executed, or performed; (Har p. 210;) and so ↓ ابتّ, as in the phrase, ابتّ يَمِينَهُ He made his oath to have, or take, effect; he executed, or performed, it. (M.) b10: سَكْرِانُ مَا يَبُتُّ كَلَامًا, (Ks, T, M,) and ما يَبِتُّ, (M,) and ↓ ما يُبِتُّ, (Ks, T, M,) One who is drunk, who does not speak plainly, or distinctly; lit., who does not make speech plain, or distinct; (Ks, T;) or who does not articulate speech; syn. مَا يَقْطَعُهُ: (M:) or, as As says, (T,) سَكْرَانُ مَا يَبُتُّ, (T, A,) or لَا يَبُتُّ, (S, K,) and لا يَبِتُّ, and ↓ لا يُبَتُّ, (K,) which last form of the verb is disallowed by As, but both are correct accord. to Fr, (T, S,) meaning one who is drunk, who does not, or will not, [i. e. cannot,] decide an affair. (As, T, S, K.) [See also بَاتٌّ.]

A2: See also 7. b2: [Hence,] بَتّتْ يَمِينُهُ, (M, Msb,) aor. ـِ only, inf. n. بُتُوتٌ, (Msb,) His oath bad, or took, effect; was executed, or performed; syn. وَجَبَتْ: (M:) it was, or proved, true: (Msb:) a phrase mentioned by Az, and, if correct, not needing any explanation.

(KL.) 2 بتّتهُ, inf. n. تَبْتِيتٌ, He cut it off, or severed it, [entirely, or utterly, and] much, or with extraordinary energy or effectiveness; the teshdeed denoting intensiveness of signification. (S.) A2: بَتَّتُوهُ They furnished him with [بَتَات, or] travel-ling-provisions. (M, K.) A3: بَتِّتْهُمْ Give thou to them [garments called] بُتُوت [pl. of بَتُّ, q. v.]. (TA, from a trad.) 4 أَبْتَ3َ see 1, passim: A2: and see 7.5 تبتّت He became furnished with [بَتَات, or] travelling provisions: and he became provided with [بَتَات, or] utensils and furniture of the house or tent; or household goods. (M, K, TA.) 7 انبتّ It was, or became, cut off, severed, separated, or disunited, (Lth, T, S, M, Msb, K,) entirely, or utterly; (Lth, T, M;) namely, a thing; (M;) a rope, or cord; (Lth, T;) and a tie, or bond, of union between two persons: (T, M: *) as also ↓ بَتَّ, (Lth, Az, T, M, Msb,) aor. ـِ and بَتُّ, (M, [so accord. to a copy of that work, but it seems to be indicated in the Msb (see 1, near the close of the paragraph,) that it is بَتِّ only, in this case,]) inf. n. بَتٌّ; (Lth, Az, T, M, K;) and ↓ ابتّ, (T, Msb, TA,) inf. n. إِبْتَاتٌ; (T, TA;) the last said by Lth and Az to be trans. only; (T, TA;) but it is both trans. and intrans., like the second: (T, Msb, TA:) so says En-Nawawee, as mentioned above: see 1. (TA.) You say, اِنْقَطَعَ فُلَانٍ فَانْبَتَّ حَبْلُهُ عَنْهُ [Such a one broke off, or disunited himself, from such a one, and his tie, or bond, of union became severed from him]. (T, TA, [but in a copy of the former, for عن فلان, is put عَنْ مَالِهِ from his property.]) b2: He became unable to proceed in his journey, his camel that bore him breaking down, or stopping from fatigue, or perishing: (A, * Mgh, * TA:) quasi-pass. of بَتَّهُ and أَبَتَّهُ. (TA.) You say, سَارَ حَتَّى انْبَتَّ He journeyed until he was unable to proceed &c. (A, Mgh, TA.) [See also مُنْبَتٌّ.]

The following are exs.] b2: أَعْطَيْتُهُ هٰذِهِ العَطِيَّةَ بَتَّا بَتْلًا [I gave him this gift, cutting it off from my property so as to make it irrevocable; or, it being cut off &c.]. (Lth, T.)

(S, TA.) Such a gift is termed صَدَقَةٌ بَتَّةٌ, (A, * Nh,) and صدقة بَتَّةٌ بَتْلَةٌ. (M.) b3: طَلَّقَهَا, (Mgh, K,) and ↓ بَتَاتًا, (K,) and البَتَّةَ, (T,) and طَلْقَةً بَتَّةً, (Msb,) and ↓ طَلَاقًا بَاتَّا, (Lth, T, Msb, * TA, [in one copy of the T simply بَاتَّا,]) He divorced her by a separating divorce; (K;) by a divorce cutting her off from returning: and such a divorce is also termed ↓ طلاق مُبِتٌّ: (Msb:) or the first of these phrases signifies he divorced her by a divorce either cut off, [meaning decided and irrevocable,] or cutting off.

(Msb.) b5: طَحَنَ بِالرَّحَى بَتًّا He ground with the mill, turning it, (Az, T,) or beginning the turning, (S,) from his left: (Az, T, S:) [i. e., making it to turn in the contrary way of the hands of a watch: the last word is app. an inf. n.; as though meaning effectually; for this is the general and easier or more powerful way of turning the handmill:] the contrary way is termed شَزْرًا: (Az, T, S: *) or طَحَنَ بَتَّا signifies he began in the turning [of the mill] with the left [hand].

[اَلْبَتَّةَ], (MF,) and thus it is written in a copy of the K, (TA,) but others greatly disapprove of this, (MF,) [meaning I will not do it, decidedly, or absolutely,] is said of anything in respect of which there is no returning, or revoking; (S, IF, M, Msb, K;) الَبتَّةَ being said of a thing to be done, or performed, irrevocably, and from which there is no abstaining by reason of sluggishness; (T;) as though the speaker cut off the doing of the thing: (M:) the last word is in the accus. case as an inf. n.: (S:) Sb says, it is a corroborative inf. n., and is not used without ال.

(K.) b3: He pounded, or bruised, small; he pulverized; syn. سَحَقَ. (Sgh, K.)

(see لُتَاتٌ)]: (Msb:) it signifies less than بَسَّ: (Lth, Msb:) he stirred it about with water &c. until they became of a uniform consistence; or stirred it about with a مِجْدَح; i. q. جَدَحَهُ: (S:) and in like manner, الــأَقِطَ and the like: (TA:) or [simply] he moistened the سويق: (Lth:) or he moistened the سويق in the manner termed بَسٌّ, with water and the like: (TA:) [accord. to present usage, he moistened, and beat up, or mingled, the سويق with water &c.] b2: لَتَّ ثِيَابَهُ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. لَتٌّ, (assumed tropical:) It (a rain) wetted his clothes.

لَتُ3َ, S,) inf. n. لَتٌّ He bound a thing. (As, S, K.) b2: لُتَّ فُلَانٌ بِفُلَانٍ Such a one was joined, connected, coupled, or associated, with such a one; expl. by لُزَّ بِهِ وَقُرِنَ مَعَهُ. (S, K.) لُتَاتٌ What is crumbled, or broken into small pieces, with the fingers, (مَا فُتَّ,) of the barks of trees: (K:) i. e., what is so crumbled, or broken, of the dry, outer bark: but Az says, I know not whether it be لِتَاتٌ or لُتَاتٌ. (TA.) Esh-Sháfi'ee is related to have pronounced the performance of تَيَمُّمٍ therewith not allowable. (TA.) b2: مَا أَبْقَى

مِنِّى إِلَّا لُتَاتًا, occurring in a trad., means, It (the disease) left nothing remaining of me but dry skin like the bark of trees. (TA.) A2: That with which one moistens [سَوِيق &c.]; expl. by مَا يُلَتُّ بِهِ: (K:) anything with which سويق &c. are moistened; such as clarified butter, and the fat of a sheep's tail. (Lth.) لَتْلَتَةٌ An oath that plunges the swearer thereof into sin, and then into hell-fire: or, by which he cuts off the property of another, for himself; an intentionally false oath: syn. يَمِينٌ غَمُوسٌ. (IAar, Sgh, A, K.) اللَّاتُّ, occurring in the Kur [liii. 19,] (TA,) so accord. to the reading of Ibn-'Abbás and 'Ikrimeh and some others, (K,) and so originally accord. to Fr.: (TA:) afterwards contracted into اللَّاتُ: (Fr, K:) which is the common reading: (Fr:) A certain idol; thus called by the appellation of a man who used to moisten سَوِيق with clarified butter at the place thereof: (K:) the man who did this was thus called, and afterwards the idol itself. (TA.) Some of the lexicologists say, that it was a mass of rock, at the place whereof was a man who used to moisten سويق for the pilgrims, and which, when he died, was worshipped: (L:) but ISd says, I know not what is the truth in this case. (TA.) In the R it is said, that the man who used to do this was 'Amr Ibn-Lu-eí; that when the tribe of Khuzá'ah obtained the dominion over Mekkeh, and banished the tribe of Jurhum, the Arabs made him a Lord, or an object of worship; and that he was El-Látt, who used to moisten سويق for the pilgrims upon a well-known rock, called صخْرَةُ اللَّاتِّ: or, it is said, that the man in question was of the tribe of Thakeef; and that when he died, 'Amr Ibn-Loheí (لحى: so in the TA) said to the people, “He hath not died, but hath entered the rock: ” and ordered them to worship it, and built over it a house called اللات: it is also said to have continued thus during the life of this man and that of his son, for three hundred years: then that rock was named اللَّاتُ, without teshdeed to the ت, and was taken for an idol, to be worshipped. (TA.) It is disputed whether it were [an idol] of the tribe of Thakeef at Et-Táïf, or of the tribe of Kureysh at En-Nakhleh. (MF.) Some say, that the ت is originally without teshdeed, and to denote the fem. gender: Ks used to pronounce the word in a case of pause اللَّاهْ; and Aboo-Is-hák [Zj] says, that this is agreeable with analogy; but that the more approved mode is to pronounce it in such case with ت. AM says, that the manner in which Ks pronounced it in a case of pause shows that he did not derive it from لَتٌّ. The polytheists who worshipped this idol used to compare its name with the name of اللّٰه. It is also said, that اللَّاتُ, without teshdeed, is of the measure فَعَلَةٌ [originally اللَّوَيَةُ] from the root لوى; [and that the said idol was so called] because they used to compass it, or perform circuits round it. (TA.) [See art. لوى: and see also arts. لوه and ليه: and الرَّبَّةُ, in art رب.]
