زعم

1 زَعَمَ, (S, Msb,) aor. ـُ (Msb, MS, JM, [not mentioned in the S nor in the K, app. because well known,]) inf. n. زَعْمٌ and زُعْمٌ and زعْمٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the first of the dial. of El-Hijáz, (Msb, TA,) the second of the dial. of [the tribe of] Asad, (Msb,) or Benoo-Temeem, (TA,) and the third of the dial. of some of [the tribe of] Keys; (Msb;) [generally best rendered He asserted; for it mostly relates to a thing not certainly known: or] he said; (S, Msb, K;) as in the phrases زَعَمَتِ الحَنَفِيَّةٌ [The Hanafees said or asserted, or have said or asserted,] and زَعَمَ سِيبَوَيْهِ [Seebaweyh said or asserted, or has said or asserted]; (Msb;) [and زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ كَذَا He said, or asserted, that it was thus;] either truly or falsely: (K:) mostly used in relation to a thing respecting which there is doubt, (Sh, Az, Msb, K,) and which is not certainly known: (Sh, Az, Msb:) or it is mostly used in relation to that which is false, or that respecting which there is doubt, or suspicion: (El-Marzookee, Msb:) or, as those skilled in the language of the Arabs say, in relation to a thing of which the speaker doubts, and does not know whether it may not be false: (Lth:) or زَعَمَ زَعْمًا means he related a piece of information not knowing whether it were true or false. (IKoot, Msb.) Hence the saying, زَعَمَ مَطِيَّةُ الكَذِبِ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) زَعَمَ is the conveyer, or vehicle, (properly the camel, or beast, that serves as the conveyer,) of lying]. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., بِئْسَ مَطِيَّةُ الرَّجُلِ زَعَمُوا [(assumed tropical:) Very evil, or bad, is the man's conveyer زَعَمُوا]: i. e., when a man desires to journey to a country, or town, he mounts his camel, or beast, that serves to convey him, and journeys until he accomplishes the object of his want: therefore, that with which the speaker prefaces his speech, and by means of which he attains the object of his desire, when he says زَعَمُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا, is likened to the camel, or beast, by means of which he attains the object of want: for زَعَمُوا is [generally] said only in the case of a narration that has no authority whereon to rest, and that contains no proof. (TA.) IKh says that الزَّعْمُ is used in relation to that which is discommended; and that its primary signification is said by some of the expositors of the Kur-án to be The act of lying: (TA: [this signification is also given in the K, as being contr. to the first:]) some say that it is metonymically used in this sense: (Msb:) and it is expl. as having this meaning in the Kur [vi. 137], where it is said, فَقَالُوا هٰذَا لِلّٰهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ, i. e. [And they have said, “This belongeth unto God,”] with their lying. (Lth, TA.) b2: [Sometimes] زَعَمَهُ signifies He described him, or it. (Har p. 204.) b3: And sometimes زَعَمَ signifies He promised: whence the saying of ' Amr Ibn-Sha-s, تَقُولُ هَلَكْنَا إِنْ هَلَكْتَ وَإِنَّمَا عَلَىاللّٰهُ أَرْزَاقُ العِبَادِ كَمَا زَعَمْ [Thou sayest, or she says, “We perish if thou perish: ” but verily upon God lie the means of subsistence of mankind, i. e. it lies upon Him to supply these, as He has promised]. (TA.) b4: الزَّعْمُ is used also in the sense of الظَّنُّ: (Msb, TA:) one says, فِى زَعْمِى كَذَا [In my opinion it is thus]. (Msb.) [Hence, likewise,] زَعَمْتَنِى

كَذَا, (K,) aor. ـْ (TA,) Thou thoughtest me to be thus. (K, TA.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, فَإِنْ تُزْعُمِينِى كُنْتُ أَجْهَلُ فِيكُمُ فَإِنِّى شَرَيْتُ الحِلْمَ بَعْدَكِ بِالجَهْلِ [And if thou think me such that I used to be ignorant, or to act ignorantly, among you, know that I have purchased intelligence since I was with thee (بَعْدَكِ being for بَعْدَ عَهْدِى بِكِ) in exchange for ignorance]. (TA. [The meaning of تزعمينى is there indicated by the context.]) b5: It is also used in the sense of الاِعْتِقَادُ: whence the saying in the Kur [lxiv. 7], زَعَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُو أَنْ لَنْ يُبْعَثُوا [They who have disbelieved our revelations have believed, or firmly believed, that they shall not be raised from the dead]. (Msb.) b6: Sometimes, also, زَعَمَ is used in the sense of شَهِدَ: as in the saying of En-Nábighah, زَعَمَ الهُمَامُ بِأَنَّ فَاهَا بَارِدٌ [app. meaning The magnanimous chief bore witness that her mouth was cool]. (TA.) A2: زَعَمَ بِهِ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, Msb) and زَعَمَ, (Msb,) inf. n. زَعْمٌ (S, Msb, K) and زَعَامَةٌ, (S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (Msb,) He was, or became, responsible, answerable, amenable, surety, or guarantee, for it; (S, Msb, K;) namely, property. (Msb.) b2: And زَعَمَ, like قَتَلَ, (Msb,) or زَعُمَ, like كَرُمَ, (TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. زَعَامَةٌ, He was, or became, chief, lord, master, or prince, (Msb, TA,) of a people, (TA,) or عَلَى قَوْمٍ [over a people]; (Msb;) or spokesman of a people. (TA.) A3: See also 4, in two places.

A4: زَعِمَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. زَعَمٌ (S, TA) and زَعْمٌ, (TA,) He coveted, or eagerly desired. (S, K.) [Like its syn. طَمِعَ, it is trans. by means of فِى.] One says, ↓ زَعِمَ فُلَانٌ فِى غَيْرِ مَزْعَمٍ, i. e. طَمِعَ فى غَيْرِ مَطْعَمٍ [Such a one coveted a thing not to be coveted; meaning, a thing of which the attainment was remote, or improbable: see art. طمع]. (TA.) And ' Antarah says, عُلِّقْتُهَا عَرَضًا وَأَقْتُلُ قَوْمَهَا زَعَمًا لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ لَيْسَ بِمَزْعَمِ (S,) i. e. I became enamoured of her unintentionally, [or accidentally,] while I was slaying her people; eagerly desiring her love: by the life of thy father, I swear, this is not a [fit] occasion for eager desire: i. e. I can not attain to holding communion of love with thee, [or with her,] any day, while there is this conflict and hostility between the two tribes: (EM p. 222:) لَيْسَ بِمَزْعَمٍ

meaning لَيْسَ بِمَطْمَعٍ : (S:) or, [as some relate it,] زَعْمًا وَرَبِّ البَيْتِ لَيْسَ بِمَزْعَمِ [eagerly desiring: by the Lord of the House (i. e. the Kaabeh), &c.]. (TA. [زَعْمًا is there expressly said to be thus: but the measure does not require its being so.]) 3 زاعم, (K,) inf. n. مُزَاعَمَةٌ, (TA,) i. q. زَاحَمَ [q. v.]: (K:) the ع is a substitute for the ح. (TA.) 4 ازعم He made a person to be such as is termed زَعِيم; (Msb, TA;) as meaning responsible, answerable, amenable, surety, or guarantee. (Msb.) You say, أَزْعَمْتُكَ المَالَ, (Msb,) or الشَّىْءَ, (TA,) I made thee, or have made thee, responsible, &c., (Msb, TA, *) [for the property, or the thing;] i. e. زَعِيمًا بِهِ. (Msb, TA.) A2: He made one to covet, or eagerly desire. (S, K.) You say, أَزْعَمْتُهُ. (S.) [And أَزْعَمْتُهُ فِى الشَّىْءِ I made him to covet, or eagerly desire, the thing; like as you say, أَطْمَعْتُهُ فِيهِ. See زَعِمَ.]

A3: He obeyed (K, TA) the زَعِيم [i. e. chief, lord, or prince]. (TA.) A4: It (an affair) was, or became, possible. (K.) b2: It (milk) began to become good, or pleasant; [or fit to be drunk;] as also ↓ زَعَمَ, (K,) inf. n. زَعْمٌ. (TA.) b3: ازعمت said of a young she-camel, or of one full-grown, She was thought to have fat in her hump. (IKh, TA. [The TA states it to have been asserted by IKh that the verb is only used in this sense, or (for the passage is ambiguous) in this sense and the first mentioned above.]) b4: Also, (K,) or ↓ زَعَمَتْ, (TA, [but this I think to be probably a mistranscription,]) said of the earth, or land, (الأَرْضُ,) It put forth the first of its plants, or herbage. (IAar, K, TA.) 5 تزعّم i. q. تَكَذَّبَ [q. v.]: (S, K:) [it seems here to mean He spoke falsely; and to be trans.; for] a poet says, أَيُّهَا الزَّاعِمُ مَا تَزَعَّمَا [app. meaning O thou asserter of that which thou hast spoken falsely]. (TA. [This hemistich is there cited as an ex. of تزعّم as expl. in the K; and I find no other explanation of this verb.]) 6 تَزَاعَمَا They two competed in discoursing of a thing, and differed respecting it: accord. to Z, it means they talked of, or related, زَعَمَات, i. e. [mere assertions, or] stories in which no confidence was to be placed. (TA.) Sh says that التَّزَاعُمُ is mostly used in relation to a thing respecting which there is doubt. (TA.) A2: One says also, تزاعم القَوْمُ, meaning The people, or party, became responsible, one for another: and hence, تزاعموا عَلَى كَذَا they leagued together, and aided one another, against such a thing. (TA.) زُعْمٌ [originally an inf. n. of زَعَمَ, like زَعْمٌ and زِعْمٌ,] is a word used by the vulgar as meaning كِبْرٌ [i. e. Pride; and, as often used in the present day, pretension: because implying false, or vain, assertion]. (TA.) زَعَمٌ and ↓ زَعَامَةٌ Responsibility, answerableness, amenableness, or suretiship; substs. from زَعَمَ بِهِ : (Msb:) or the latter is an inf. n. (S, K.) زَعِمٌ, applied to roasted meat, (K, TA,) Dripping with its gravy; or succulent, and dripping with its juice or fat; (TA;) having much grease, or gravy; quickly flowing [therewith] over the fire. (K.) زَعْمَةٌ [inf. n. of un. of زَعَمَ; An assertion; &c.: pl. زَعَمَاتٌ]. One says, هٰذَا وَلَا زَعْمَتَكَ and ولا زَعَمَاتِكَ [meaning This I think, and I think not to be true thine assertion and thine assertions]; أَتَوَهَّمُ being understood after لا : these words are used as meaning the rejection of what has been said by the person to whom they are addressed. (K, TA. [In the CK, erroneously, زَعْمَتِكَ and زَعْمَاتِكَ.]) They said also, زَعْمَةٌ صَادِقَةٌ لَآتِيَنَّكَ [i. e. It is a true assertion: I will assuredly come to thee]; using the nom. case : though they said, يَمِينًا صَادِقَةً لَأَفْعَلَنَّ [i. e. I swear “ a true oath : I will assuredly do ” such a thing]; using the accus. case. (Ks, TA.) And one says, تَحَادَثَا بِالزَّعَمَاتِ, meaning They two talked of, or related, each to the other, [mere assertions, or] stories in which no confidence was to be placed. (Z, TA.) زُعْمِىٌّ (with damm, TA) Mendacious: and veracious: (K:) thus bearing two contr. significations. (TA.) زُعْمُومٌ : see the next paragraph.

زَعُومٌ, a fem. epithet, (S, K, &c.,) applied to a she-camel, and to a sheep or goat, Of which one doubts whether there be in her fat or not, (S, K,) and which is therefore felt with the hands, in order that one may know if she be fat or lean: (S:) or a sheep or goat of which one knows not whether there be in her fat or not: (As, TA:) or, as some say, of which men assert that there is in her marrow. (TA.) And, as a fem. epithet, Having little fat: and having much fat: thus bearing two contr. senses: as also ↓مُزْعَمَةٌ [app. in both senses]: (M, K:) and ↓مَزْعُومَةٌ also signifies having little fat; of which people, when they eat of her, say to her owner, “Didst thou assert her to be fat? ” applied to a she-camel. (TA.) A2: Also Impotent in speech; (K;) and so ↓زُعْمُومٌ. (S, * K.) زَعِيمٌ Responsible, answerable, amenable, surety, or guarantee. (S, Msb, K.) Hence, in the Kur [xii. 72], وَأَنَا بِهِ زَعِيمٌ [And I am responsible for it]. (TA.) b2: Also The chief, lord, master, or prince, or a people; (Msb, K;) or [in the CK “ and ”] their spokesman: (K:) their chief is thus called because he speaks for them; like as he is called قَيْلٌ and مِقْوَلٌ: (Ham p. 705:) pl. زُعَمَآءُ. (K.) A2: Also Described; syn. مَوْصُوفٌ. (Har p. 204.) زَعَامَةٌ: see زَعَمٌ. b2: Also High, or elevated, rank or condition or state; or nobility. (K.) and Chiefdom, lordship, mastery, or princedom: (IAar, S, K:) [accord. to the Msb, an inf. n. in this sense:] thus expl. by IAar as occurring in the following verse of Lebeed: (TA:) وَوِتْرًا وَالزَّعَامَةُ لِلْغُلَامِ تَطِيرُ عَدَائِدُ الأَشْرَاكِ شَفْعًا (S and TA in the present art. and in art. عد) [The portions of inheritance of the sharers fly away, two together and singly; but the chiefdom is for the boy]: by his saying شَفْعًا وَوِتْرًا, he means that the male's share of inheritance is like that of two females [so that he has two portions when the female has one]: but other explanations, those here following, are given of الزعامة as used in this verse. (TA. [See also عَدِيدَةٌ.]) b3: A weapon, or weapons; syn. سِلَاحٌ. (S, K.) So, accord. to J, in the verse of Lebeed: for, he says, they used, when they divided the inheritance, to give the weapon, or weapons, to the son, exclusively of the daughter. (TA.) b4: A coat of mail: (K:) or coats of mail: and thus it is expl. by IAar as used in the verse of Lebeed. (TA.) b5: The chief's share of spoil. (K.) b6: And The best and most of the property of an inheritance and the like: (K:) and thus, also, it has been expl. as used in the verse of Lebeed. (TA.) A2: Also, and ↓ زَعَّامَةٌ, An animal of the ox-kind; [probably meaning one of the wild species;] syn. بَقَرَةٌ. (K.) زَعَّامَةٌ: see the next preceding sentence.

مَزْعَمٌ A thing, or an affair, -in which no confidence is to be placed; (S, K;) this saying, or asserting, it to be thus, and this saying, or asserting, it to be thus: (S:) [pl. مَزَاعِمُ.] One says, فِى قَوْلِهِ مَزَاعِمُ (S, TA) i. e. [In his saying are things in which no confidence is to be placed; or] no confidence is to be placed in his saying. (TA.) And هٰذَا أَمْرٌ فِيهِ مَزَاعِمُ This is an affair that is not right; (TA;) [wherein are things] respecting which there is dispute. (K, TA.) And زَعَمَ غَيْرَ مَزْعَمٍ He said that which was not good, or right, or just; and asserted what was impossible. (Msb.) A2: Also A thing that is, or is to be, coveted, or eagerly desired; syn. مَطْمَعٌ. (S, TA.) See two exs. near the end of the first paragraph.

مُزْعَمٌ: see its fem., with ة, voce زَعُومٌ.

أَمْرٌ مُزْعِمٌ A thing, or an affair, that makes one to covet, or desire eagerly. (TA.) مَزْعُومٌ: see its fem., with ة, voce زَعُومٌ.

مِزْعَامَةٌ A serpent. (K.) هُوَ مُزَاعَمٌ No confidence is to be placed in him, or it. (So in the TA. [But I incline to think it a mistranscription for فِيهِ مَزَاعِمُ. See مَزْعَمٌ.])

زبن

(TA.) b3: زَبْنٌ also signifies The selling any fruit upon its trees for [other] fruit by measure: (K:) whence ↓ المُزَابَنَةُ (see 3): it has been forbidden, because of the fraud, or deceit, and the ignorance, attending it: and is thus termed because either of the two parties, when he repents, repels the other [if able to do so] from the obligation that he has imposed upon him. (TA.) 3 زابنهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُزَابَنَهٌ, (TA,) i. q. دَافَعَهُ [He contended, or strove, with him in pushing, or thrusting, or in pushing, or thrusting, away; or he pushed him, &c., being pushed &c. by him; or he pushed against him]. (K.) b2: مُزَابَنَةٌ signifies [also] The selling dates (S, Mgh, Msb, K) in their fresh ripe state (S, K) upon the heads of the palm-trees for dried dates (S, Mgh, Msb, K) by measure; (Mgh, Msb;) which is forbidden, because it is a sale by conjecture, [or] without measuring and without weighing: (S, TA:) it is from الزَّبْنُ; because it leads to contention and mutual repulsion: (Mgh:) and in like manner, the selling any fruit upon its trees for fruit by measure: see 1, last sentence: (TA:) accord. to Málik, any selling or buying of a thing by conjecture, not knowing its measure nor its number nor its weight, for something named of that which is measured and weighed and numbered: or the selling of a thing known for a thing unknown of its kind: or the selling of a thing unknown for a thing unknown of its kind: or a buying and selling in which is a mutual endeavour to endamage, or overreach, (بَيْعُ مُغَابَنَةٍ,) in a kind in which endamaging, or overreaching, is not allowable; (K;) because, in this case, he who is endamaged, or overreached, desires to annul the sale, and he who endamages, or overreaches, desires to make it take effect, so they repel one another, and contend. (TA.) 4 ازبنوا بُيُوتَهُمْ They removed their tents from the road, or way.

A2: Also A want, or thing wanted: you say, قَدْ أَخَذَ زِبْنَهُ مِنَ المَالِ, i. e. [He has taken] what he wanted [of the property], (K,) and مِنَ الطَّعَامِ [of the food]. (TA.) زَبَنٌ A side; a lateral, or an adjacent, part or tract or quarter: (K:) [and so, app., ↓ زَبْنٌ and ↓ زِبْنٌ: for] you say, حَلَّ زَبْنًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ, with fet-h, [as well as زَبَنًا, with two fet-hahs,] and زِبْنًا, with kesr, meaning He alighted aside, or apart, from his people, or party; as though he were thrust from their place: scarcely ever, or never, used otherwise than as an adv. n. [of place] or as a denotative of state. (TA.) A2: Also A piece of cloth [shaped] after the fashion of the tent (عَلَى

تَقْطِيعِ البَيْتِ), like the حَجَلَة [a kind of curtained canopy prepared for a bride]. (K.) زَبِنٌ, (K, TA,) like كَتِفٌ, (TA, [الزَّبْنٌ in the CK being a mistranscription for الزَّبِنُ,]) Vehement in pushing, or thrusting; and so ↓ زُبُنٌّ. (K, * TA.) زِبْنِيَةٌ: see زَبَانِيَةٌ.

زِبْنِىٌّ: see زَبَانِيَةٌ.

زُبُنٌّ: see زَبِنٌ.

زُبُنَّةٌ The hind leg of a she-camel: (TA:) the hind legs of the she-camel are called زُبُنَّتَاهَا (K, TA) because she pushes, or thrusts, with them. (TA.) زَبُونٌ One who pushes, or thrusts, or who pushes, or thrusts, away, [or who pushes &c. much or vehemently, or who is wont to push &c.,] a thing. (Msb.) A she-camel that pushes, or thrusts, or that pushes, or thrusts, away, (Mgh, Msb, K,) or that kicks, or strikes, and pushes, &c., (S, TA,) her milker, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, *) with her hind leg (Msb) [or with her stifle-joint: see 1]: or that is wont, or accustomed, to push, &c., her milker. (TA.) Hence, (A,) one says حَرْبٌ زَبُونٌ (S, A, Msb, K) meaning (tropical:) A difficult, or stubborn, war or battle; likened to the she-camel termed زبون: (A, TA:) or that dashes men [one against another], and pushes, or thrusts, them: (S:) or in which one portion pushes, or thrusts, or pushes or thrusts away, another, by reason of multitudinousness: (K:) or it is thus called because it repels the valiant men from advancing, through fear of death. (Msb.) b2: As meaning غَبِىٌّ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) Unintelligent, or having little intelligence], and حَرِيفٌ [syn. with مُعَامِلٌ, and hence, as will be seen from what follows, app. here used in the sense of (assumed tropical:) a dealer with others in buying and selling, a meaning which مُعَامِلٌ often has, though, as I have shown in art. حَرف, I do not know any authority for assigning this meaning to حَرِيفٌ], (S, K, [the latter explanation thus written in my copies of the S and in my MS. copy of the K and in the CK, but in the TA, and hence in the TK, خريف, which has no meaning, that I know of, appropriate in this instance,]) it is post-classical, (K,) not of the language of the people of the desert: (S:) it signifies (tropical:) a simpleton, or fool, who is endamaged, or defrauded, (يُغْبَنُ,) much; by a tropical attribution [of the meaning of a pass. part. n. to a word which has properly the meaning of an act. part. n.; because the person thus termed is as though he were pushed, or thrust, away]: (Mgh:) it signifies also (assumed tropical:) a purchaser; because he pushes away another from the thing that is sold; [or because he is often duped;] and in this sense, [a sense in which it is commonly now used, or as meaning a customer, and also a dupe,] it is a post-classical word, not of the language of the people of the desert. (Msb.) [The pl. now commonly used is زَبَائِنُ, and some say زَبُونَاتٌ.] It is said in a post-classical prov., الزَّبُونُ يَفْرَحُ بِلَا شَىْءٍ [which I would render (assumed tropical:) The dupe rejoices without anything, or at nothing]: (Meyd:) or الزَّبُونُ يَفْرَحُ بِأَدْنَى شَىْءٍ, meaning [(assumed tropical:) The dupe rejoices at the least, or the meanest, thing: or] the dealer (المُعَامِلُ), or the purchaser (المُشْتَرِى), as the word signifies in the dial. the people of El-Basrah. (Har p. 76, q. v. [The editors of the sec. ed. of De Sacy's Har, to which reference is here made, say, (Notes, p. 90,) “ Nous pensons que le mot الزبون, dans l'acception qu'il prend dans ce proverbe dérive du chaldéen זַבֵּן 'vendre.'” (This verb is written in the Lex. of Gesenius זְבַן.) See also De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, sec. ed., pp. 186 — 190.]

A2: Also A well in which is a receding in its مَثَابَة [or place where the water collects, or place reached by the water when it returns and collects after one has drawn from it, &c.; (see art. ثوب;) as though its casing were pushed back in that part]. (K.) A3: And [An inner vest; so in the present day; pl. أَزْبِنَةٌ;] a thing that is cut so as to fit the body, and worn. (TA.) زُبَانَى is the sing. of which زُبَانَيَانِ is the dual. (Mz, 40th نوع.) زُبَانَى العَقْرَبِ signifies The horn [or claw] of the scorpion: (Msb:) its two horns [or claws] are called زُبَانَيَا العَقْرَبِ; (S, K;) because it pushes with them. (TA.) b2: and الزُّبَانَيَانِ, (Ibn-Kunáseh, S, Kzw,) or زُبَانَيَا العَقْرَبِ, (K,) [the former the more common,] (assumed tropical:) The two horns [or claws] of Scorpio; [which, like the constellation Leo, the Arabs extended much beyond the limits that we assign to it, and which they thus made to include a portion of Libra;] (Kzw;) two stars, widely separated, (Ibn-Kunáseh, Kzw,) [that rise] before الإِكْلِيل [q. v.]; (Ibn-Kunáseh;) between which (Ibn-Kunáseh, Kzw) is the measure of a spear (رُمْح [q. v.]), more than the stature of a man, (Ibn-Kunáseh,) [or,] in appearance, the measure of five cubits: (Kzw:) two bright stars, (S, K,) in, or upon, (K,) the two horns [or claws] of Scorpio: (S, K:) [a and g of Libra, accord. to those who make النَّوْء to mean “ the auroral setting; ” and perhaps the same, or α and β of Libra, accord to those who make النَّوْء to mean “ the auroral rising: ”] one of the Mansions of the Moon, (S, Kzw,) namely, the Sixteenth Mansion. (Kzw. [See مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل.]) The saying عَضَّ بِأَطْرَافِ الزُّبَانَى قَمَرُهْ [lit. His moon bit the extremities of the claw of Scorpio], cited by IAar, is expl. as meaning “ he is uncircumcised, except the part from which the قَمَر has contracted; ” his قُلْفَة being likened to the زُبَانَى [and his كَمَرَة to the قَمَر]: and he is related to have said that he who is born when the moon is in Scorpio is unprosperous: but Th says, I asked him respecting this saying, and he disallowed it, and said, No, but he is a low, or mean, or sordid, person, who does not give food in winter; and when the moon [in winter] bites the extremities of the زُبَانَى, [i. e. enters Scorpio,] it is most intense cold. (TA.) A2: See also زَبَانِيَةٌ.

زَبَانٍ: see the next paragraph.

زَبَانِيَةٌ is a pl., of which the sing. is ↓ زِبْنِيَةٌ, (Akh, Zj, S, K,) as some say, or ↓ زَبَانٍ, (Akh, S,) or ↓ زُبَانَى, like سُكَارَى, (TA,) or ↓ زَابِنٌ, (Akh, S,) or ↓ رِبْنِىٌّ, (Ks, K,) the pl. of this last being originally زَبَانِىُّ, the ة [in زَبَانِيَةٌ] being substituted for the [last] ى: (Bd in xcvi. 18:) but the Arabs hardly, or in nowise, know this [attribution of a sing. to زَبَانِيَةٌ], holding it to be a pl. having no sing., like أَبَابِيلُ and عَبَادِيدُ. (Akh, S.) With the Arabs [of the classical age] it signifies The شُرَط [app. in the earlier sense of the braves of an army, or in the later sense of the armed attendants, officers, or soldiers, of the prefect of the police]: (S:) this is the primary signification: (Bd in xcvi. 18:) the sing. being syn. with شُرْطِىٌّ: and also signifying the مُتَمَرِّد [i. e. one who exalts himself, or is insolent and audacious, in pride and in acts of rebellion or disobedience, &c.,] of the jinn, or genii, and of mankind: (K:) and i. q. شَدِيدٌ [i. e. strong, &c.]: (Secr, K:) each of these two significations [and the first also] being from the meaning of “ pushing,” or “ thrusting. ” (TA.) b2: الزَّبَانِيَةُ signifies also Certain angels, [the tormentors of the damned in Hell,] so called because of their thrusting the people of the fire thereto; (Katádeh, S, Msb; *) the angels mentioned in the Kur [lxvi. 6] as غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ, (Zj,) i. e. rough in speech or in disposition, strong in deeds or in make. (Bd.) زَبَّانٌ is said by Freytag to signify a foot (“ pes ”), as on the authority of J; as though he had found it expl. by the word رِجْل: but this is a mistake: it is said in the S that زَبَّانٌ is the name of a man (اِسْمُ رَجُلٍ).]

زِبِّينٌ One striving to suppress the urine and ordure: (K, * TA: [the word, with the article ال, is expl. by مُدَافِعُ الأَخْبَثَيْنِ: see 3 in art. دفع, and see also أَخْبَثُ:]) such is said in a trad. to be one of those from whom prayer will not be accepted; or, as some relate it, it is the زِنِّين, with ن [in the place of the ب]: (TA:) or it means one withholding them against his will. (K.) b2: One says also, مَا بِهَا زِبِّينٌ, meaning There is not in it [i. e. the house, الدَّار,] any one: so says Aboo-Shubrumeh. (TA.) زَبُّونَةٌ Pride; syn. كِبْرٌ. (S.) b2: And [hence, probably,] رَجُلٌ ذُو زَبُّونَةٍ i. q. مَانِعٌ جَانِبَهُ [app. meaning A man who defends his honour, or reputation: see جَانِبٌ]: (S, TA:) or a man who defends what is behind his back (مَا وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِ [perhaps meaning his household: see ظَهْرٌ]). (TA, and so in a copy of the S.) A2: Also, and ↓ زُبُّونَةٌ, The neck; (IAar, K;) as in the saying خُذْ بِقُرُونِهِ وَبِزَبُّونَتِهِ [Take thou hold of his horns and his neck]: (IAar, TA:) or زَبُّونَةٌ may signify the ear; and the pl. زَبُّونَاتٌ, the head and neck of a horse, by a metonymy, because the ears are therein. (Ham p. 58, q. v.) زُبُّونَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

زَابِنٌ: see زَبَانِيَةٌ, first sentence.

زَابِنَةٌ An [eminence such as is termed] أَكَمَة, (K, TA,) raised high (TA) in a valley that bends, or turns, from it; (K, TA;) as though it pushed it, or thrust it, away. (TA.)

ظرب

1 ظَرِبَ بِهِ, aor. ـَ He, or it, stuck, adhered, or clave, to him, or it. (K.) 2 ظُرِّبَتِ الحَوَافِرُ, inf. n. تَظْرِيبٌ, The solid hoofs became hard and strong. (T, K.) ظَرِبٌ A stone projecting (Lth, T, M, Msb, K) from a mountain or from rugged ground (Lth, T) and having a sharp point: (Lth, T, M, K:) or an expanded mountain, (M, K, TA,) accord. to some, that is not high: (TA:) or a small mountain: (M, K:) or a small hill: (T, S, Msb:) pl. ظِرَابٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and أَظْرُبٌ, (Nh, TA,) [the latter a pl. of pauc.,] the former pl. of a rare kind, for by rule it should be أَظْرَابٌ, and it seems as though they had imagined the sing. to be ظَرْبٌ, and so made the pl. like سِهَامٌ, pl. of سَهْمٌ: (Msb, TA:) or, accord. to En-Nadr, ظَرِبٌ signifies the smallest of [hills such as are termed]

آكَام, and the sharpest in stones, all its stones being sharp like knives, the white thereof and the black and of every colour: and the pl. is أَظْرَابٌ. (T.) [See also this pl. below.]

ظُرُبٌّ Short, and thick, (M, K, TA,) and fleshy: (Lh, TA:) or a short and fleshy man. (S.) ظَرْبَى and ظِرْبَى: see ظَرِبَانٌ, in three places.

ظِرْبَآء and ظَِرِبَآء: see the next paragraph, in four places.

ظَرِبَانٌ (S, M, Msb, K, &c.) and ظِرْبَانٌ (AA, Az, Msb, TA) and ظَرْبَانٌ (IJ, TA) and ↓ ظِرَبَآءُ (M, CK, TA, or ↓ ظِرْبَآء or ↓ ظِرِبَآء accord. to two different copies of the K) A small, stinking beast, (Az, S, M, Msb, K,) resembling a cat, (Az, S, M, K,) or resembling a short Chinese dog, (Msb,) or resembling an ape or a monkey, (AA, T, M, TA,) or above the whelp of a dog, (El-Mustaksee, TA,) that often emits a noiseless wind from the anus; (M, Msb, * TA;) said by Az, on the authority of the handwriting of AHeyth, to be a beast that has small legs, their length being that of half a finger, but which is broad, its breadth being equal to the space measured by the extension of the thumb and the little finger, or of the thumb and the fore finger, and its length being a cubit, having a compact head, and its ears [for ادناه, in my original, I read أُذُنَاهُ] being like the cat's; (TA;) it is small and short in the ears, (أَصْلَمُ الأُذُنَيْنِ, M, Msb,) or having a stoppage of the ears, (أَصَمُّ الاذنين, TA,) its earholes [only] hearing a confused, or humming, or ringing, sound; (M, TA;) long in the snout, [but El-Farezdak speaks of it as having a short nose, as is shown in the S,] black in the back, white in the belly; (M, Msb, TA;) it is said that its back is [or rather contains] one single bone, without any قَفَص [or cage-formed structure of ribs, &c.], and that the sword has no effect upon it by reason of the hardness of its skin, unless striking its nose: (TA:) the pl. is ظَرَابِينُ, (M, K,) or ظَرَابِىُّ, (Az, T, S, Msb,) sometimes, (S,) or this latter also, (M, K,) as though it were pl. of ظِرْبَآء, (S,) or the first ى is a substitute for the ا [of the sing. ظَرِبَانٌ] and the second for the ن, (M,) and (quasi-pl. ns., M, K) ↓ ظِرْبَى (Az, T, M, Msb, K) and ↓ ظِرْبَآءُ, (M, K,) or ↓ ظِرْبَى, is a pl. like حِجْلَى pl. of حَجَلٌ, (S, TA,) and these two are [said to be] the only pls. of this measure, (AHei, TA,) and Lth and AHeyth say that ظِرْبَآءُ is incorrect, and is rightly ↓ ظِرْبَى. (T, TA.) A poet says, (namely, 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Hajjáj Ez-Zebeedee, M, TA,) أَلَا أَبْلِغَا قَيْسًا وَخِنْدِفَ أَنَّنِى

ضَرَبْتُ كَثِيرًا مَضْرِبَ الظَّرِبَانِ [Now tell ye Keys and Khindif that I have struck Ketheer in the place of striking of the ظربان], meaning that he had struck Ketheer Ibn-Shiháb (S, M, TA) El-Medh-hijee upon his face; for the ظربان has a line, or long mark, upon his face; and he likens the blow that he inflicted upon his face to that mark: [see مَضْرِبٌ:] and the same words of the latter hemistich, except that عُبَيْدًا is substituted in them for كَثِيرًا, occur in a verse of Asad Ibn-Nághisah, who slew 'Obeyd by order of En-Noamán. (TA.) One says, فَسَا بَيْنَنَا الظَّرِبَانُ, (S,) or بَيْنَهُم, (Msb, K,) [lit. The ظربان emitted a noiseless wind from its anus among us, or among them,] a prov., (S,) meaning that we, or they, became disunited, and alienated, one from another: [for] when this animal emits a noiseless wind from its anus in the garment of a man, the stink does not go away until the garment wears out: (S, Msb, K:) the Arabs of the desert assert that it does so in the garment of him who hunts it: (S:) and it is said to do so in the hole of the [lizard called] ضَبّ, which, being stupified by the foulness of the stink, is taken and eaten by it. (M, K, TA.) One says also, تَشَاتَمَا فَكَأَنَّمَا جَزَرَا بَيْنَهُمَا ظَرِبَانًا [They reviled each other, and it was as though they slaughtered between them a ظربان]: the foulness of their reviling being likened to the stink of that animal. (M, TA.) And يَتَنَازَعَانِ جِلْدَ الظَّرِبَانِ They two contend in pulling at the skin of the ظربان, meaning (assumed tropical:) they revile each other: (M, TA:) and يَتَمَاشَنَانِ جِلْدَ الظَّرِبَانِ They wipe their hands together upon the skin of the ظربان, [likewise] meaning (assumed tropical:) they revile each other. (IAar, T, TA.) الأَظْرَابُ [accord. to some] signifies Four teeth behind the نَوَاجِذ [or other grinders; app. meaning, of a horse]: (K:) or the sockets (أَسْنَاخ) of the teeth: (S, K:) [and it is said that] أَظْرَابُ اللِّجَامِ signifies the knots that are at the extremities of the bit. (M, TA.) J cites the following verse, ascribing it to 'Ámir Ibn-Et-Tufeyl, وَمُقَطِّعٍ حَلَقَ الرِّحَالَةِ سَابِحٍ

بَادٍ نَوَاجِذُهُ عَنِ الأَظْرَابِ [thus in the S, (but in the M and TA عَلَى

الأَظْرَابِ,) as though meaning And breaking in pieces the rings of the girth of the saddle, running with the fore legs well stretched forth, his grinders appearing from the sockets]: but IB says, [following the reading in the M and TA,] the verse is by Lebeed; and the poet is describing a horse that breaks in pieces the rings of the saddle by his springing forward, and whose grinders (نَوَاجِذُهُ) appear when he treads upon the [stones, or hills, called] ظِرَاب: [see ظَرِبٌ, of which both ظِرَابٌ and أَظْرَابٌ are said to be pls.:] also that the right reading is وَمُقَطِّعٌ [and سَابِحٌ]: and by the نواجذ are meant the ضَوَاحِك [or teeth next behind the canine teeth], accord. to Hr. (TA.) حَوَافِرُ مُظَرَّبَةٌ [accord. to the TA مُظَرِّبَةٌ, but this is evidently a mistake (see 2),] means [Solid hoofs] that have become hard and strong: (K, TA:) [but] accord. to El-Mufaddal, المُظَرَّبُ, like مُعَظَّم [in measure], signifies الَّذِى قَدْ لَوَّحَتْهُ الظِّرَابُ [app. meaning that which the stones, or hills, called ظِرَاب have altered, or, perhaps, heated, in its treading upon them]. (TA.)

ظرف

1 ظَرُفَ, (T, S, M, &c.,) inf. n. ظَرَافَةٌ, (S, Msb,) or ظَرْفٌ and ظَرَافَةٌ, (T, M, Mgh, * O, K,) but the latter is rare, (K,) allowable in poetry, (T, M,) or, as some say, is of frequent occurrence, and confirmed by analogy, (MF, TA,) said of a man, (S, O,) [or only of a young man, and ظَرُفَت of a young woman,] He possessed the quality, or qualities, termed ظَرْف meaning as expl. below [i. e. excellence, or elegance, in mind, manners, and address or speech; and in person, countenance, or garb, guise, or external appearance; or all of these qualities combined: he was, or became, clever, ingenious, intelligent, or acute in intellect; well-mannered, well-bred, accomplished, or polite; beautiful in person or countenance; elegant, or graceful; or elegant in garb, guise, or external appearance]. (T, S, O, Msb, K.) A2: See also what here follows.3 ظَاْرَفَ ↓ ظَارَفَنِى فَظَرَفْتُهُ [He vied, or contended, with me in ظَرْف] and I was more ظَرِيف (كُنْتُ

↓ أَظْرَفَ) than he. (IKtt, TA.) 4 اظرف He (a man) had many [ظُرُوف, or] receptacles [of any kind]. (TA.) b2: And He begat, (S, Mgh, O, K,) or had born to him, (M,) children that were ظُرَفَآء (S, M, O, K) or ظِرَاف [pls. of ظَرِيف, q. v.]. Mgh.) b3: اظرف بِالرَّجُلِ He mentioned the man as possessing ظَرْف. (M, TA.) b4: And اظرف فِى العِبَارَةِ is explainable [as meaning He was elegant, or eloquent, in the expression, or phrase, or speech], if the saying be received from those who are trustworthy: if not, it is correctly أَطْرَفَ, with the unpointed ط; meaning “ he said what was novel and pleasing. ” (Mgh.) A2: اظرف المَتَاعَ, (O,) in the K, erroneously, فُلَانًا, (TA,) He put, or assigned, or made, a ظَرْف [or receptacle] for the goods. (O, TA.) 5 تظرّف He affected ظَرْف; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ تظارف. (TA.) One says, فُلَانٌ يَتَظَرَّفُ وَلَيْسَ بِظَرِيفٍ [Such a one affects ظَرْف and he is not ظَرِيف]. (TA.) 6 تَظَاْرَفَ see the next preceding paragraph.10 استظرفهُ He found him [or held him] to be ظَرِيف. (O, * TA.) ظَرْفٌ A receptacle (Lth, T, S, M, Mgh, O, Msb, K) of anything; (Lth, T, M;) [a vessel, or vase;] an إِبْرِيق is thus termed as being a ظرف for what is in it: (Lth, T, TA:) and AHn applies it to a seed-vessel, or pericarp, or a cell of a pericarp: (M, TA:) [and it is also applied to a case, or cover, for a book or the like:] the pl. is ظُرُوفٌ: (T, S, * M, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) أَظْرَافٌ is a mistake. (Mgh.) [Applying it to a vessel of silver,] Har uses it as meaning “ silver. ” (P.614 [referring to a phrase in p. 213].) One says, أَخَذْتُ المَتَاعَ بِظَرْفِهِ [I took the goods with the receptacle thereof]. (A, TA.) And hence, (A, TA,) رَأَيْتُهُ بِظَرْفِهِ (tropical:) I saw him himself. (A, O, K, TA.) And هُوَ نَقِىُّ الظَّرْفِ (tropical:) He is faithful, (O, K, TA,) not treacherous. (M, O, K, TA.) b2: And hence (assumed tropical:) [An adverbial noun of place or of time, implying the meaning of the preposition فى; and also by some applied to a noun of place or of time together with that preposition; i. e.] what are termed ظَرْفُ المَكَانِ and الزَّمَانِ, (O,) pl. ظُرُوفُ الزَّمَانِ and المَكَانِ: (S, M: *) the descriptive terms that denote the places [or times] of things are called ظُرُوفٌ: (Lth, T:) they are thus termed by Kh; and by Ks, مَحَالُّ; and by Fr, صِفَاتٌ. (T.) b3: Also [Excellence, or elegance, in mind, manners, and address or speech; and in person, countenance, or garb, guise, or external appearance; or all of these qualities combined:] a term denoting a condition that combines the generality of mental and bodily and extrinsic excellences; likened [by reason of its comprehensiveness] to the receptacle thus called: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or cleverness, ingeniousness, intelligence, or acuteness in intellect; syn. كِيَاسَةٌ, (S, O, K,) or كَيْسٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) and ذَكَآءٌ: (Mgh:) or i. q. بَرَاعَةٌ, and ذَكَآءُ قَلْبٍ; [the former meaning excellence in knowledge, or other qualities; or accomplishment, or perfection, in every excellence, and in goodliness;] ('Eyn, M, O, Msb, K; *) thus accord. to most of the copies of the K [as well as the 'Eyn and M and O and Msb], but correctly بَزَاعَة, with the letter زاى: (TA:) [if so, these two explanations (بَزَاعَةٌ and ذَكَآءُ قَلْبٍ) add nothing to others here given:] or skilfulness (M, K, TA) in a thing (M, TA) is thus termed by the people of El-Yemen: (TA:) or it is in the tongue, (IAar, T, K,) only; (K;) meaning beauty of expression, (M, L, TA,) and eloquence; (L, TA;) and حَلَاوَةٌ is in the eyes, and مَلَاحَةٌ is in the mouth, and جَمَالٌ is in the nose: (IAar, T:) or beauty of garb, guise, or external appearance: (M:) or beauty of face, and of garb, guise, or external appearance: (O, K:) or it is in the face and in the tongue: (Ks, O, K:) or goodliness, or beauty; and أَدَب [as having the meaning first assigned to ظَرْفٌ in this sentence, i. e. excellence, or elegance, in mind, manners, or address or speech; or as meaning good breeding, good manners, politeness, or polite accomplishments]: (Msb:) or, as an inf. n., the being elegant, graceful, or beautiful: and the being intelligent, sagacious, or acute in intellect: (KL:) accord. to the author of the 'Eyn, (O,) it is only an attribute of young men and young women (M, O, Msb, * K) that are acute in intellect, clever, or skilful; (M, O, K;) not of elders, nor of lords, or chiefs: (M, K:) but as meaning كِيْسٌ, it is common to young persons and elders: (Msb:) some of those who affect distinctness of speech by twisting the sides of the mouth say that the word is ↓ ظُرْفٌ, with damm, to distinguish it from ظَرْفٌ meaning “ a receptacle; ” but this is a sheer mistake. (MF, TA.) ظُرْفٌ: see what immediately precedes.

ظَرْفِيَّةٌ, a term of grammar, The quality of denoting place, or time, adverbially, by a noun implying the meaning of the preposition فِى; and also, accord. to some, by a noun together with that preposition. One says مَنْصُوبٌ عَلَى الظَّرْفِيَّةِ, meaning Put in the accusative case as denoting place, or time, adverbially.]

ظُرَافٌ: see ظَرِيفٌ, near the beginning and near the end.

ظَرُوفٌ perhaps signifies Possessing the quality, or qualities, termed ظَرْف, in a great, or an extraordinary degree: used alike as masc. and fem.: for I find it stated that] one says قَيْنَةٌ ظَرُوفٌ [A female slave, or slave-songstress, that is very intelligent or skilful or elegant &c.]. (TA. [But I think it most probable that this is a mistranscripfor قِتْيَةٌ ظُرُوفٌ, a phrase which I find in the T, and there expl. as meaning ظُرَفَآءُ.]) ظَرِيفٌ Possessing the quality, or qualities, termed ظَرْف; (T, S, M, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ ظُرَافٌ, (Lh, M, O, K,) the two being like طَوِيلٌ and طُوَالٌ, (O,) [or the latter has an intensive signification, (see طُوَالٌ, and see also the “ Durrat el-Ghowwás,” in De Sacy's Anthol. Gramm. Arabe, p. 48 of the Ar. text,)] and ↓ ظُرَّافٌ, (M, K,) or this last, which is like طُوَّالٌ, denotes more than ظُرَافٌ without teshdeed: (O:) accord. to Mbr, it is derived from ظَرْف signifying “ a receptacle,” as though meaning a receptacle for excellence, or elegance, in mind, manners, or address or speech: (TA:) [it may be rendered, agreeably with explanations of ظَرْفٌ, excellent, or elegant, in mind, manners, and address or speech; and in person, countenance or garb, guise, or external appearance: or clever, ingenious, intelligent, or acute in intellect; well-mannered, well-bred, accomplished, or polite; beautiful in person or countenance; elegant, or graceful; &c.:] and is expl. as meaning eloquent; thus by As and IAar: and possessing knowledge and courage: and goodly, or beautiful, in clothing, and in outer apparel: (TA:) and is used by the people of El-Yemen as meaning skilful: (O:) and, as Ks says, it is applied as an epithet to a tongue, and to a face: (TA:) the pl. of ظَرِيفٌ is ظِرَافٌ (S, M, O, Msb, K) and ظُرَفَآءُ (T, S, O, Msb, K) and ظَرِيفُونَ (O, K) and ظُرُفٌ, (S, M, IB, K,) a form sometimes used, (IB, TA,) and ظُرُوفٌ, (T, S, M, O, K,) also a form sometimes used, (S, O,) approvable in poetry, (T,) as though formed from ظَرْفٌ, or [anomalous] like مَذَاكِيرُ (S, O, K) accord. to Kh (S, O) and Sb: (TA:) the pl. of ↓ ظُرَافٌ is ظُرَفَآءُ: (Lh, M, K:) and the pl. of ↓ ظُرَّافٌ is ظُرَّافُونَ: (M, K:) the fem. of ظَرِيفٌ is ظَرِيفَةٌ; and the pl. of this is ظِرَافٌ, (Sb, T, M, Msb, TA,) like a pl. of the masc., (Sb, M, TA,) and ظَرَائِفُ. (T, M, TA.) It is said in a trad. of 'Omar, mentioned by IAar, (Mgh, O, TA,) and by As, (TA,) إِذَا كَانَ اللِّصُّ ظَرِيفًا لَا يُقْطَعُ, (Mgh,) or لَمْ يُقْطَعْ, (O, TA,) meaning When the thief is eloquent (Mgh, O, TA) and intelligent, (Mgh,) he averts from himself the prescribed punishment by his pleading [so that he will not be, or is not, mutilated by amputation of the hand]. (Mgh, O, TA.) ظَرِيفَةٌ, as a subst., A thing, and a saying, that is ظَرِيف, meaning elegant, &c.: pl. ظَرَائِفُ.]

ظُرَّافٌ: see ظَرِيفٌ, near the beginning and near the end.

ظَارِفٌ [is distinguished from ظَرِيفٌ like as شَارِفٌ is from شَرِيفٌ, q. v.]. Lh mentions the saying اُظْرُفْ إِنْ كُنْتَ ظَارِفًا [Possess thou ظَرْف if thou be one who will possess it]: in meaning the actual state, they said إِنَّهُ لَظَرِيفٌ [Verily he is one who possesses ظَرْف]. (M.) أَظْرَفُ: see 3. Ks allows the saying, interrogatively, مَا أَظْرَفُ زَيْدٍ أَلِسَانُهُ أَظْرَفُ أَمٌ وَجْهُهُ [What is the part that is the more excellent in ظَرْف (or elegance, &c.), of Zeyd? is his tongue the more so, or his face?]. (TA.) يَا مَظْرَفَانُ is an expression similar to يَا مَلْكَعَانُ [and مَكْذَبَانُ &c.; meaning O thou who possessest the quality, or qualities, of ظَرْف in a great, or an extraordinary degree]. (A, TA.)

فجر

1 فَجَرَ, aor. ـُ (T, L, Msb,) inf. n. فَجْرٌ, (T, Mgh, L, Msb,) He clave, [a thing]; cut, or divided, [it] lengthwise: this is the primary signification, whence several others, to be mentioned below, are derived: (T, L:) he clave, and opened. (Mgh.) He clave, or cut, a subterranean channel for water. (Msb.) He broke open a dam of a river or the like, that the water might break, burst, or pour, through. (T, L.) b2: And فَجَرَ المَآءَ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above; (S, O;) and ↓ فجّرهُ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. تَفْجِيرٌ; (O, TA;) but the latter is with teshdeed to denote muchness, or frequency, or repetition, of the action, or its application to many objects; (S, O, TA;) He opened a way, passage, vent, or channel, for the water to flow forth; gave vent to it; vented it: (S, Mgh, O, Msb:) he made the water to flow, run, or stream: (K:) and in like manner, blood, or other fluid. (TA.) [See also 4.]

A2: فَجَرَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فُجُورٌ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) He, or it, inclined; leant; declined; or deviated. (S, O, TA.) You say, فَجَرَ الرَّاكِبُ, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (K,) (tropical:) The rider leant, or declined, from his saddle. (K.) b2: [Hence,] He declined, or deviated, from the truth; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ افجر. (IAar, O, K.) b3: And He erred in answering, or replying. (El-Muärrij.) b4: Hence also, (S,) He lied; (S, O, Msb, K;) said of a swearer; (Msb;) as also ↓ افجر: (IAar, O, K:) in this sense the former has also فَجْرٌ for an inf. n., as well as فُجُورٌ: (TA:) he committed a foul deed; such as swearing a false oath, or lying: in which sense also it has both of these inf. ns. (TA.) b5: He committed an unlawful action: (ISh:) [or, as it is generally explained, and most frequently used,] he acted vitiously, immorally, unrighteously, sinfully, or wickedly; he transgressed; went forth from, departed from, or quitted, the way of truth, or the right way; forsook, relinquished, or neglected, the command of God; departed from obedience; disobeyed; syn. فَسَقَ; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) and عَصَى (Mgh, K) and خَالَفَ: (K:) and [in like manner] ↓ فاجر, inf. n. مُفَاجَرَةٌ and فِجَارٌ, he did that which was vitious, immoral, unrighteous, sinful, or wicked. (R, TA.) In the sense of عصى (Mgh, O, TA) and خالف (O, TA) it is also trans.: you say فَجَرَهُ, meaning He disobeyed him; (Mgh, O, TA;) he opposed him. (O, TA.) b6: He launched forth into acts of disobedience; in which sense it has both of the inf. ns. mentioned above; (K, TA;) and is [said to be] from فَجَرَ in the first of the significations expl. above. (TA.) b7: He disbelieved; syn. كَفَرَ; (TA;) as also ↓ افجر: (IAar, O, K:) and فَجَرَ بِهِ he disbelieved in it; syn. كَذَّب.

(TA.) b8: He did, or committed, an action inducing doubt, or suspicion or evil opinion, or doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion. (IKtt, TA.) b9: He committed adultery, or fornication; (Msb, K;) in which sense it has both of the inf. ns. mentioned above; (K;) and ↓ افجر signifies the same; (IAar, K;) and, this latter, he committed an act, or acts, of disobedience with his genital member.

A2: Also He attributed or imputed to him, or charged him with, or accused him of, فُجُور [i. e. vice, immorality, unrighteousness, &c. (see 1)]; like فَسَّقَهُ: whence the phrase, in a trad. of Ibn-Ez-Zubeyr, فَجَّرْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ [Thou hast attributed to thyself, or accused thyself of, unrighteousness, transgression, or the like]. (TA.) 3 فاجر, inf. n. مُفَاجِرِةٌ and فِجَارٌ: see 1, in the middle of the paragraph. [And see also فِجَارٌ, below.]4 افجرهٌ He made it (i. e. a spring, or source,) to well forth. (O, K.) [See also 1.] b2: and [hence, app.,] (assumed tropical:) He made [his gift] large; syn. أَجْزَلَ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) A2: افجر as intrans.: see 1, in four places.

A3: Also افجرهُ He found him to be a person such as is termed فَاجِرٌ. (O, K.) A4: And افجر is like اصبح; (S, O;) signifying He entered upon the time of daybreak, or dawn: (K, TA:) and he was near to entering upon that time. (TA.) One says, كُنْتُ أَحُلُّ إِذَا

أَسْحَرْتُ وَأَرْحَلُ إِذَا أَفْجَرْتُ [I used to alight when I entered upon the last sixth of the night, and depart when I entered upon the time of daybreak]. (S, TA.) And أُعَرِّسُ إِذَا أَفْجَرْتُ وَأَرْحَلُ إِذَا أَسْفَرْتُ, i. e., I alight to sleep when I am near to entering upon the time of daybreak, and I depart when [I enter upon the time in which] the dawn shines. (TA, from a trad.) A5: Also He brought much property; (O, K;) this being termed فَجَرٌ. (O.) 5 تَفَجَّرَ see the next paragraph, in four places.7 انفجر (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ تفجّر, (S, O, K,) but the latter is with teshdeed [as quasi-pass. of 2,] to denote muchness, or frequency, or repetition, or application to many subjects of the action, (S, O, *) It (water) had a way, passage, vent, or channel, opened for it to flow forth; it had vent; (S, O, Msb;) it poured out, or forth, as though impelled or propelled; syn. اِنْبَعَثَ; (TA;) it flowed, ran, or streamed. (Msb, K.) b2: [Hence,] انفجر عَلَيْهِمُ العَدُوُّ (tropical:) The enemy [poured upon them;] came upon them suddenly, in great number. (L, A.) And انفجرت عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّوَاهِى (tropical:) Calamities [poured upon them;] came upon them from every quarter, (K, * TA,) abundantly and suddenly. (TA.) b3: [Hence also,] انفجر بِالْكَرَمِ, and ↓ تفجّر بِهِ (assumed tropical:) [He was profuse of generosity, or liberality]: (K:) and فِى الخَيْرِ ↓ تفجّر (assumed tropical:) [he was profuse in bounty, or beneficence]. (S, O, TA.) b4: And انفجر الصُّبْحُ, and ↓ تفجّر, [The dawn broke forth]: and انفجر عَنْهُ اللَّيْلُ [The night departed from before it; namely, the rising dawn]. (K.) 8 افتجر فِى الكَلَامِ He forged speech, not having heard it from any one, nor learned it. (O, K.) فَجْرٌ [Daybreak; dawn;] the light of morning; (Mgh, K;) because it is a cleaving of the darkness from before the light; (Mgh;) i. e., the redness of the sun in the darkness of night; (K;) the فَجْر in the end of the night is like the شَفَق in the beginning thereof: (S, O:) it is twofold: the first is called الفَجْرُ الكَاذِبُ [the false dawn]; that which rises without extending laterally, (المُسْتَطِيلُ, Mgh, Msb,) which appears black, presenting itself like an obstacle (مُعْتَرِضًا) [on the horizon]: (Msb:) [see ذَنَبُ السِّرْحَانِ, in art. سرح:] the second is called الفَجْرُ الصَّادِقُ [the true dawn]; which is the rising and spreading [dawn], (المُسْتَطِيرُ, Mgh, Msb,) which appears rising, and fills the horizon with its whiteness; and this is what is called عَمُودُ الصُّبْحِ; rising after the former has disappeared; and by its rising the day commences, and everything by which fasting would be broken becomes unlawful to the faster. (Msb.) b2: Hence, The time of the فَجْر. (Mgh.) b3: And The prayer of that time: the prefixed noun being suppressed. (Mgh.) b4: الفَجْرُ and البَحْرُ [in a saying mentioned voce بَحْرٌ, the former here written الفَجَرُ, and said to be مُحَرَّكَة, but app. by mistake, for it is afterwards written الفَجْرُ,] are metonymically applied to (tropical:) The troubles of the present state of existence. (TA.) فَجَرٌ (assumed tropical:) Donation; (K;) generosity; (AO, S, K;) bounty, or munificence; (K;) or large, or ample, bounty or munificence; (AO, TA;) and goodness, or beneficence. (K.) b2: And Property. (Kr, K.) And Much property. (O.) And Abundance of property. (K, TA.) Aboo-Mihjen EthThakafee says, فَقَدْ أَجُودُ وَمَا مَالِى بِذِى فَجَرٍ

[And verily, or often, I practise liberality, or bounty, while my property is not abundant]. (TA.) فُجَرُ: see فَاجِرٌ, latter half.

فَجْرَةُ is a proper name, [i. e. an attributive proper name,] imperfectly decl., like بَرَّةُ; [and signifies the same as الفَجْرَةُ and فَجَارِ;] and ↓ فَجَارِ is altered from فَجْرَةٌ, (IJ, TA,) or from الفَجْرَةُ, (Sb, TA,) and is a subst. in the sense of الفُجُورُ [i. e. Vice, immorality, wickedness, unrighteousness, sin, or transgression, &c., (see 1,)] (S,) or a name for الفَجْرَةُ [which signifies the same], (O,) like قَطَامِ, (S, O,) determinate, (S,) occurring in a verse of En-Nábighah cited in the first paragraph of art. حمل. (S, O.) One says, رَكِبَ فُلَانٌ فَجْرَةَ, (K, * TA, [in the CK فَجَرَةَ,]) and ↓ فَجَارِ, (TA,) Such a one lied; (K, TA;) and acted vitiously &c. (فَجَرَ). (TA.) And حَلَفَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى فَجْرَةَ, and اِشْتَمَلَ عَلَى فَجْرَةَ, [in the L على فَجْرِهِ, in both instances, but the former is the right reading,] Such a one commited a foul deed, by swearing falsely, [relating to the former phrase,] or by adultery, or fornication, or lying. (TA.) فُجْرَةٌ: see مَفْجَرٌ, in two places.

فِجْرَةٌ The last of a woman's children; like as زِنْيَةٌ signifies the “ last of a man's children. ” (TA in art. زنى.) فَجَارِ: see فَجْرَةُ, in two places: b2: and see فَاجِرٌ, last sentence but one.

فِجَارٌ [a pl. of which the sing. is not mentioned] Roads, or ways; (K, TA;) like فِجَاجٌ [pl. of فَجٌّ, q. v.]. (TA.) A2: أَيَّامُ الفِجَارِ is an appellation applied to Four أَفْجِرَة; (K, TA;) the four أَفْجِرَة meaning days [i. e. conflicts] of the Arabs; the single day thereof being termed الفِجَارُ: (S, O, TA:) they took place at 'Okádh; and those engaged therein transgressed, and held to be allowable everything that should be sacred; as is said in the A: they were called فِجَارُ الرَّجُلِ and فِجَارُ المَرْأَةِ and فِجَارُ القِرْدِ and فِجَارُ البَرَّاضِ; the last, which was the greatest onslaught, being thus called in relation to El-Barrád Ibn-Keys, who slew 'Orweh Er-Rahhál: (TA:) they were between Kureysh with their associates of Kináneh on the one side and Keys-'Eylán on the other side, (S, O, K,) in the Time of Ignorance; (S, O;) and the [final] defeat befell Keys; it occurred in the sacred months; and when they fought therein, they said فَجَرْنَا; (S, O, K;) therefore Kureysh called this war فِجَار; (S, O, TA; *) فِجَارٌ, like مُفَاجَرَةٌ, being an inf. n. of فَاجَرَ, expl. above, on the authority of the R. (TA.) b2: And فِجَارَاتُ العَرَبِ signifies The vyings of the Arabs in glorying, or boasting. (TA.) فَجُورٌ: see the paragraph here following.

فَاجِرٌ Inclining, leaning, declining, or deviating. (S, TA.) Declining (سَاقِطٌ) from the road. (IAar, TA.) b2: Lying; a liar; because he deviates from the right course: and for the same reason it signifies also مُكَذِّبٌ [as meaning disbelieving; or a disbeliever; see فَجَرَ بِهِ, in the middle of the first paragraph]. (TA.) And one says يَمِينٌ فَاجِرَةٌ meaning (tropical:) A false oath: (Mgh in art. غمس:) a tropical phrase. (Mgh in the present art.) b3: فَاجِرٌ and ↓ فَجُورٌ, (K, TA,) the latter of which is applied to a woman as well as to a man, (TA,) and ↓ فَاجُورٌ, (K, TA,) which is mentioned by Sgh, (TA,) are all epithets from فَجَرَ, and signify [most frequently Acting vitiously, immorally, unrighteously, sinfully, or wickedly; or vitious, immoral, &c.; transgressing, or a transgressor; quitting, or one who quits, the way of truth, or justice; forsaking, or a forsaker of, the command of God; departing, or a departer, from the right way, or from obedience; disobedient; or] launching forth, or one who launches forth, into acts of disobedience: [but the second and third are intensive epithets:] also committing adultery or fornication; or an adulterer or a fornicator: (K, TA:) and the first signifies also enchanting, or an enchanter: (Sgh, K, TA:) the pl. of the first is فُجَّارٌ and فَجَرَةٌ; and the pl. of the second and third is فُجُرٌ. (K, TA.) ↓ فُجَرُ is altered from فَاجِرٌ, for the sake of intensiveness, and is [determinate, and] seldom used except in the vocative form of speech: you say [in addressing a number of men] يَا لَفُجَرَ [for يَا آلَ فُجَرَ, like as you say يَا لَغُدَرَ for يَا آلَ غُدَرَ, q. v.; and meaning O ye very vitious, &c.]; occurring in a trad. of 'Áïsheh. (TA.) And ↓ فَجَارِ, (K, TA,) like قَطَامِ, (TA,) is a noun altered from الفَاجِرَةُ (K, TA) [or from فَاجِرَةُ]: you say (S, O, K) to a woman (S, O) يَا فَجَارِ (S, O, K) meaning يَا فَاجِرَةُ [O vitious woman, &c.]. (S, O.) A2: And فَاجِرٌ signifies also Having much wealth, or property: (K, TA:) in this sense, a possessive epithet [from فَجَرٌ, q. v.]. (TA.) فَاجُورٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مَفْجَرٌ (TA) and ↓ مَفْجَرَةٌ and ↓ مُنْفَجَرٌ (K) and ↓ فُجْرَةٌ (S, K) A place through which water flows (K, TA) from a watering-trough &c.; (TA;) a place of opening for water: (S, O, TA:) and the second signifies also low ground into which valleys pour their water: (M, K, TA:) pl. مَفَاجِرُ. (TA.) مَفَاجِرُ الوَادِى signifies The parts, of the valley, into which the torrent disperses itself: (S, O, TA:) and الوَادِى ↓ فُجْرَةُ, (K, TA,) which would seem to be with fet-h [to the ف] from its not being restricted by the mention of any syll. signs, [and is so in the CK,] but is correctly with damm, (TA,) the wide part of the valley, into which the water pours. (K, TA.) And مَفَاجِرُ الدِّبَارِ signifies The places opened for the flowing of the water of the دبار, pl. of دَبْرَةٌ [q. v.]. (Mgh.) مَفْجَرَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مُنْفَجَرٌ: see مَفْجَرٌ. b2: مُنْفَجَرُ رَمْلٍ (tropical:) A road, or way, in sands. (S, O, TA.)

فرس

1 فَرَسَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. فَرْسٌ, (S, M, O, Msb, K, &c.,) He (a lion) broke, or crushed so as to break, its neck; (S, A, * Mgh, * O, K;) i. e., the neck of his فَرِيسَة; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ افترسهُ: (S:) this is the primary signification: (S, Mgh, TA:) or he (a beast of prey) seized it, (a thing,) and broke, or crushed so as to break, its neck; as also ↓ افترسهُ: (M:) or he (a lion) broke it; i. e., his فَرِيسَة: (Msb:) and he bruised, or crushed, and broke, it; namely, a thing. (M.) Accord. to ISk, (S,) you say, فَرَس الذِئْبُ الشَّاةَ, (S, TA,) meaning The wolf seized the sheep, or goat, and broke, or crushed so as to break, its neck: (TA:) accord. to En-Nadr (i. e. ISh), you say, أَكَلَ الذِّئْبُ الشَّاةَ [The wolf ate, or devoured, the sheep, or goat], but not ↓ افترسها. (S, O, TA.) b2: Hence, (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) He killed it, in any manner; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ افترسهُ: (TA:) or ↓ the latter, he (a lion, O, or a wolf, TA) captured it; or made it his prey. (O, K, TA. See also 2 [where a similar but tropical usage of the former verb is mentioned.]) You say, فَرَسَهُ الأَسَدُ The lion killed him or it. (Mgh.) b3: فَرَسَ الذَّبِيحَةَ, (M, Msb,) aor. ـِ (M,) inf. n. as above, (S, M, Mgh,) He (the slaughterer) broke the bone of the neck of the slaughtered animal before it became cold: (S, Mgh, O:) or broke its neck before its death: (Msb:) or cut, or severed, its نُخَاع [or spinal cord]: or divided its neck: (M, TA:) or slaughtered it so as to reach to the نخاع: (AO, TA:) the action thus [variously] expl. is forbidden. (S, Mgh, Msb, TA.) b4: قَبِيحَةً ↓ فَرَسَهُ فِرْسَةً He struck him [in an abominable manner, app. in the back,] so that the part between his hips became depressed and his navel protruded. (M.) A2: فَرُسَ, aor. ـُ (S, A, O, K,) inf. n. فُرُوسَةٌ (S, A, O, K *) and فَرَاسَةٌ (S, K, * in the O فِرَاسَةٌ) and فُرُوسِيَّةٌ, (S, * A, O, * K, *) all of which ns. are mentioned as syn. by As, (TA,) [as they are also in the S and K,] and the first and last, in like manner, by IAar, (TA,) [but the first is expressly said to be an inf. n. of فَرُسَ in the S and A only, and the second in the S only, and the third (which seems to be rather a simple subst.) in the A only,] He was, or became, skilled in horsemanship, or in the management of horses, (S, A, O, K, TA,) and in riding them, (O, * K, TA,) and in urging them to run, and in remaining firm upon them: (TA:) or فَرَاسَةٌ and فُرُوسَةٌ are inf. ns. having no verb: Lh only [says ISd] mentions فَرَسَ and فَرُسَ as signifying he became a horseman; and this is extr.: (M, TA:) but [beside what has been cited above, from the S and A and K,] IKtt also says that فَرَسَ الخَيْلَ, inf. n. فُرُوسَةٌ and فُرُوسِيَّةٌ, signifies he rode horses well; and in like manner فَرُسَ [but not followed by الخيل]. (TA.) b2: Hence, (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, skilled in anything that he endeavoured to do. (TA.) A3: فَرَسَ بِالنَّظَرِ, [and بِنَظَرِهِ, and بِعَيْنِهِ, and فَرَسَ فِى النَّاسِ, (see فَارِسٌ,)] aor. ـِ (Msb,) inf. n. فِرَاسَةٌ and فَرَاسَةٌ, (As, IAar, Msb, TA,) accord. to the citation of the words of As and IAar in the L, but this is at variance with the opinion generally held, [which is, that فَرَاسَةٌ is an inf. n. only of فَرُسَ, signifying as expl. above, and that فِرَاسَةٌ is a subst. from تَفَرُّسٌ, having no proper verb of which it is an inf. n.,] (TA,) is said of a man [in the same sense as تَفَرَّسَ, (q. v.,) as will be seen from the explanations of فِرَاسَةٌ and فَارِسٌ, below]. (Msb.) See 5, latter part, in two places.

A4: فَرِسَ He kept continually, or constantly, to the eating of the dates called فَرَاس. (O, K.) b2: And He pastured upon, or depastured, the plants called فِرْس. (O, K.) 2 فرّس الغَنَمَ, (inf. n. تَفْرِيسٌ, TA,) He (a wild beast) seized often the sheep or goats, or seized many of them, and broke, or crushed so as to break, their necks. (M, TA.) A2: فرّسه الشَّىْءَ, (inf. n. as above, TA,) He exposed to him (namely a wild beast) the thing, [meaning the animal,] that he might seize it, and break, or crush so as to break, its neck: and إَيَّاهُ ↓ أَفْرَسَهُ the threw, or cast, it to him, that he might do so to it: (M:) and الرَّجُلُ الأَسَدَ حِمَارَهُ ↓ أَفْرَسَ the man left his ass to the lion, that he might break his neck, or kill him, or make him his prey, while he himself should escape. (S, K.) El-'Ajjáj uses the former verb in relation to the kind of flies called نُعَر, saying, ضَرْبًا إِذَا صَابَ اليَآفِيخَ احْتَفَرْ فِى الهَامِ دُحْلَانًا يُفَرِّسْنَ النُّعَرْ [A beating which, when it falls upon the tops of heads, digs, in the pates, hollows that afford prey to the blue stinging flies]; meaning, that these wounds are wide, and enable the نعر to obtain thence what they desire. (M.) And one of the poets uses it in relation to human beings, in the following verses, [which exhibit an instance of the license termed إِقْوَآء,] cited by IAar: قَدْ أَرْسَلُونِى قِى الكَوَاعِبِ رَاعِيًا ↓ فَقَدْ وَأَبِى رَاعِى الكَوَاعِبِ أُفْرَسُ أَتَتْهُ ذِئَابٌ لَا يُبَالِينَ رَاعِيًا وَكُنُّ سَوَامًا تَشْتَهِى أَنْ تُفَرَّسَا [They had sent me among the girls with swelling breasts, as a guardian; and, by my father, while guardian of the girls with swelling breasts, or by the father of the guardian of the girls with swelling breasts, I was (lit. I am) made a prey: there came thither wolves not caring for a guardian, and those females were (as) pasturing camels eagerly desiring to be given as prey]: he likens these women to pasturing camels, although differing from them inasmuch as the latter do not eagerly desire to be given as prey, since this would be a cause of their death, whereas women do eagerly desire it, since فَرْسُ الرِّجَالِ لِلنِّسَآءِ [lit. men's making women their prey] is in this case (assumed tropical:) men's holding commerce of love with women: أُفْرَسُ is for فُرِسْتُ; for, as Sb says, they sometimes put أَفْعَلُ in the place of فَعَلْتُ: أَبِى is in the gen. case as governed by وَ denoting swearing; and راعى الكواعب may be a denotative of state relating to the ت [the pronoun of the first person] understood [in أُفْرَسُ for فُرِسْتُ]; or وأبى may be prefixed to راعى الكواعب, governing it in the gen. case, and by the latter expression he may mean himself: by wolves not caring for a guardian, he means wicked men not caring for him who guarded these women: and he uses the word تشتهى to denote intense desire; for if he did not mean intenseness, he would have said تُرِيدُ. (M.) 3 فارسهُ, inf. n. مُفَارَسَةٌ and فِرَاسٌ, (M, TA,) [app., He vied, or contended, with him in horsemanship: this signification seems to be indicated by what immediately precedes in the M, which is, فَرَسَ and فَرُسَ “ he became a horseman: ” but perhaps it may signify he vied, or contended, with him in فِرَاسَة, meaning insight, &c.: or it may have both these significations.]4 افرس He (a pastor) had the neck of one of his sheep, or goats, broken, or had one of them killed, (S, O,) or taken, (K,) by the wolf, (S, O, K,) he being inadvertent. (K.) b2: See also 2, in two places. b3: افرس عَنْ بَقِيَّةِ مَالٍ He left a remainder of property [as a prey], having taken all beside thereof. (AA, O, K.) 5 تفرّس He pretended to others that he was a horseman, or one skilled in horsemanship. (As, O, K.) A2: He acted deliberately, (S, O, K, TA,) and considered, or examined, a thing, or did so repeatedly, in order to know it, or to obtain a clear knowledge of it. (S, * K, * TA.) b2: تفرّس فِيهِ الشَّىْءِ [He perceived in him the thing intuitively; or by a kind of thaumaturgic faculty, and by right opinion and conjecture: or by means of indications, or evidences, and experiments, and the make and dispositions: (see فِرَاسَةٌ, below:) or] he perceived in him the thing by forming a correct opinion from its outward signs; syn. تَوَسَّمَهُ. (M.)

(TA.) فُرْسَةٌ and فُرْصَةٌ; the latter of which is the more approved in both of the following senses; i. q. نَوْبَةٌ [meaning A turn; or time at which, or during which, a thing is, or is to be, done, or had, in succession; as also فُرْزَةٌ: pl. فُرَسٌ]: فُرَسُ الوِرْدِ [the turns, or times, for coming to water in succession] means [the occasions of] persons' being left free to come to water.

(TA.) فُرْطَةٌ The act of going forth; (S, O, K; *) and of preceding, or going before. (S, O.)

Slaughter ye the firstling [of a camel, or of a sheep or goat], but slaughter not one that is little, whose flesh is like glue, [until it be full-grown.] (O, TA. *) b4: And [hence, perhaps,] أَفْرَعْتُهُ I made him to bleed.

A5: افرع أَهْلَهُ, thus in all the copies of the K, expl. as meaning كَفَلَهُمْ, and likewise in the O, is a mistranscription by Sgh, whom the author of the K has here followed: it is correctly, افرع الَوادِى أَهْلَهُ i. e.

It is said in a trad. أَىُّ الشَّجَرِ أَبْعَدُ مِنَ الخَارِفِ قَالُوا فَرْعُهَا قَالَ وَكَذٰلِكَ الصَّفُّ الأَوَّلُ [What part of trees is furthest from the plucker of the fruit? they said, The uppermost part thereof; he said, And such like is the first row of the persons worshipping in the mosque].

(Hájjee Khaleefeh.) b4: And (tropical:) The hair of a woman: pl. as above [app. used in a collective sense like the French “ cheveux ”]: (K, TA:) one says اِمْرَأَةٌ طَوِيلَةُ الفُرُوعِ [meaning (tropical:) A long-haired woman].

And (assumed tropical:) A channel in which water runs to the شِعْب (K, TA) i. e. the وَادِى [here meaning the water-course in a low tract or between the two acclivities of two mountains]: (TA:) [but] in this sense its pl. is فِرَاعٌ. (K, TA.) A2: Also [or قَوْسٌ فَرْعٌ] A bow that is made from the extreme portion of a branch, (As, S, O, K, TA,) from the head thereof: (As, TA:) and (K) a bow that is not [made from a branch] divided lengthwise (S, O, K, TA) is called قَوْسٌ فَرْعٌ; (S, O, TA;) such as is [made from a branch] divided lengthwise being called قَوْسٌ فِلْقٌ: (S, O:) or the فَرْع is [one] of the best of bows: (AHn, K, TA:) and [this word is used as an epithet, i. e.] one says قَوْسٌ فَرْعٌ and فَرْعَةٌ. (K.) A3: Also, i. e. فَرْعٌ, Property that is beneficial, or serviceable, and made ready, or prepared: (O, K, TA:) or, accord. to the S, it is ↓ فَرَعٌ which has this signification; but this is said by Sgh [app. in the TS], and after him by the author of the K, to be a mistake; and a verse in which it occurs with the ر quiescent is cited in the O and K as an ex. of it in this sense: it may be, however, that the poet has made the ر quiescent of necessity [by poetic license, for the sake of the metre]; or it may here [properly] signify

“ a branch,” and be metonymically used as meaning recent property. (TA.) A4: See also the next paragraph, latter half.

فَرَعٌ The firstling of the camel, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) or of the sheep or goat, (L, K,) which they used to sacrifice to their gods, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) looking for a blessing thereby; (S, O, Msb;) and ↓ فَرَعَةٌ signifies the same: (Mgh, Msb:) hence, (Mgh, O, K,) it is said in a trad., [implying the prohibition of this custom,] لَا فَرَعَ وَلَا عَتِيرَةٌ, (S, O, K, *) or وَلَا عَتِيرَةَ ↓ لَا فَرَعَةَ: (Mgh: [see عَتِيرَةٌ:]) or when the camels amounted to the number for which their owner wished, they sacrificed [a firstling]: (TA:) or when one's camels amounted to a complete hundred, (K, TA,) he sacrificed a he-camel thereof every year, and gave it to the people to eat, neither he nor his family tasting it, or rather, it is said, (TA,) he sacrificed a young, or youthful, he-camel to his idol: and the Muslims used to do it in the first part of ElIslám: then it was abrogated: (K, TA:) accord. to the Bári' and the Mj, the firstling of camels and also that of sheep or goats are thus called: (Msb:) the pl. [of فَرَعٌ] is فُرُعٌ, with two dammehs. (K.) It is said in a prov., أَوَّلُ الصَّيْدِ فَرَعٌ [The first of what are taken by the chase or the like is a فرع] as being likened to a firstling: so says Yezeed Ibn-Murrah. (TA. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., i. 35.]) b2: The poet Ows Ibn-Hajar, (S, O,) or Bishr Ibn-Abee-Kházim, has used it as meaning The skin of a فَرَع; (S, O; *) suppressing the prefix جِلْد: (S:) for they used to clothe with its skin another young one of a camel, in order that the mother of the one sacrificed might incline to it [and yield her milk]. (O; and the like is said in the TA.) A2: Also, and ↓ فَرْعٌ, Lice: (S, K:) or, as some say, small lice: (TA:) and one thereof is termed ↓ فَرَعَةٌ and ↓ فَرْعَةٌ: (S, K:) or, accord. to some, فرعة signifies a large louse. (TA.) A3: And the former (فَرَعٌ), Food that is prepared [app. for persons invited to partake of it] on the occasion of camels' bringing forth; like as خُرْسٌ signifies such as is on the occasion of a woman's bringing forth.

(TA. [See also فَارِعَةٌ.]) b2: and فَرْعَةُ الجُلَّةِ The highest, or uppermost, of the dates of the [receptacle called] جُلَّة [q. v.].

A5: It is also a pl. of فَارِعٌ [q. v.]. (O, K.) فُرُوعُ الجَوْزَآءِ means The most intense degree of heat: (S, O, TA:) [or rather الفُرُوعُ is a name of a certain asterism of الجَوْزَآءُ (which is an appel-lation of Orion and of Gemini, either whereof may be here appropriately meant,) at the season of the auroral rising of which the heat becomes most intense:] Aboo-Khirásh says, وَظَلَّ لَهَا يَوْمٌ كَأَنَّ أُوَارَهُ ذَكَا النَّارِ مِنْ نَجْمِ الفُرُوعِ طَوِيلُ

[And a day continued to them, the heat whereof was as though it were the blazing of fire, from the asterism of the فُرُوعِ; a long day]: (S, * O, TA:) in the S, وَظَلَّ لَنَا; but correctly لَهَا, meaning to the she-asses: (TA:) and Aboo-Sa'eed related it as above with the unpointed ع in الفروع: (S, * TA:) in the same manner, also, it is expl. by him as used in the phrase فَيْحُ نَجْمِ الفُرُوعِ [which I would render the vehement raging of the heat of the asterism of the فروع] in a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abee-'Áïdh: El-Jumahee related it differently, with غ; but the فُرُوغ [or rather the فَرْغَانِ] are of the stars of Aquarius; and the season thereof [i. e. of their auroral rising] is cold; there is then no فيح. (TA.) فُرَيْعٌ, occurring [with tenween, perfectly decl.,] in a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abi-s-Salt, (O, K,) i. q. ↓ فِرْعَوْنُ, (O,) which is a proper name of such as was King of the Amalekites [or rather of the ancient Egyptians, in general], like as قَيْصَر was of the Room [or Greeks of the Lower Empire], and كِسْرَى of the Persians, (Ksh in ii.

فزع

1 فَزِعَ, (S, O, Msb, K,) and فَزَعَ, (K,) aor. ـَ of the former verb, (Msb, K,) and of the latter also, (K,) inf. n. فَزَعٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which is of the former verb, (S, * O, Msb, TA,) and [of the latter verb] فَزْعٌ [فَزَعًا in the CK being a mistake for فَزْعًا] and ?? (K, TA,) He feared; or was, or became, in fear, afraid, frightened, or terrified; (S, O, Msb, K, TA;) and so ↓ تفزّع: (TA in art. روع:) you say, فَزِعَ مِنْهُ he feared him, or it; or was, or became, in fear, &c., of him, or it: (MA, Msb, TA:) accord. to Er-Rághib, فَزَعٌ signifies a shrinking, and an aversion, that comes upon a man, from a thing causing fear or fright; and is a kind of جَزَع [q. v.]; and one should not say فَزِعْتُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ like as one says خِفْتُ مِنْهُ: or, as Mbr says, in the “ Kámil,” its primary signification is the fearing, or being in fear or afraid or frightened or terrified: then, by a metonymical application, it signifies a people's going forth quickly to repel an enemy, or the like, that has come upon them suddenly; and this meaning has become [conventionally regarded as] proper. (TA.) b2: فَزَعٌ signifies also The seeking, or demanding, aid, or succour: (Az, K, TA:) and the aiding, or succouring; (Az, S, O, K, TA;) this latter being likewise a signification of ↓ إِفْزَاعٌ: (S, O:) an ex. of the former word (S, O, TA) in the latter sense (O, TA) occurs in the saying of the Prophet to the Ansár, إِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْثُرُونَ عِنْدَ الفَزَعِ وَ تَقِلُّونَ عِنْدَ الطَّمَعِ [Verily ye are many on the occasion of aiding, or succouring, and ye are few on the occasion of coveting, or greed]; (S, O, TA;) or in this saying the implied meaning may be, on the occasion of men's betaking themselves to you in fear (عِنْدَ فَزَعِ النَّاسِ إِلَيْكُمْ) in order that ye may aid or succour them [which is virtually the same as their seeking your aid or succour]: (TA:) thus [it is said] فَزَعٌ has two contr. significations: (K:) and both of these significations are expressed by the verb فَزِعَ: (O:) you say فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِ and فَزِعَ مِنْهُ; (K in continuation of what has been last cited therefrom above, and TA; [app. meant to indicate that both of these phrases signify he sought, or demanded, aid, or succour, of him; and he aided, or succoured, him; or that the former phrase has the former signification; and the latter phrase, the latter signification; though accord. to the TK, both phrases have the former signification, and the former phrase has also the latter signification;]) but you should not say فَزَعَهُ, (K, TA,) i. e. like مَنَعَهُ: (TA:) [or] from الفَزَعُ as signifying “ fear,” or “ fright,” you say فَزِعْتُ

إِلَيْكَ and فَزِعْتُ مِنْكَ; [app. meant to indicate that the former phrase signifies I betook myself to thee in fear, which is a meaning thereof well known, and nearly agreeing with an explanation of the verb followed by إِلَيْهِ which will be found below in this paragraph; and that the latter phrase signifies I feared thee, or I was, or became, in fear, &c., of thee, the only meaning, of this phrase, for which I find any explicit authority, and one for which I have given three authorities in the first sentence of this art.;] but you should not say فَزِعْتُكَ: (S: [thus in my copies, فَزِعْتُكَ, not فَزَعْتُكَ:]) or فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ signifies he sought, or demanded, of them, aid, or succour; and فَزَعَهُمْ and فَزِعَهُمْ signify he aided, or succoured, them, syn. أَغَاثَهُمْ [in the CK اَعانَهُمْ] and نَصَرَهُمْ, like ↓ أَفْزَعَهُمْ: (K, TA:) accord. to IB, فَزِعْتُهُ meaning أَغَثْتُهُ is originally فَزِعْتُ له [primarily signifying I feared, or became in fear &c., for him]; then the ل was dropped; for one says فَزِعْتُهُ and فَزِعْتُ لَهُ: (TA:) or فَزِعَ, like فَرِحَ, signifies اِنْتَصَرَ: (K: [thus in the copies of the K, and hence in the TA, app. a mistranscription for اِسْتَنْصَرَ, he sought, or demanded, aid, or aid against an enemy:]) and فَزِعَ إِلَيْهِ he betook himself, or had recourse, to him, or it, for refuge, protection, or preservation, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) by reason of fear, or fright, (S,) and sought, or demanded, aid, or succour, by him, or it; whence, in a trad. respecting the eclipse of the sun, فَافْزَعُواإِلَى الصَّلَاة i. e. Then betake yourselves, &c., to prayer, and seek, or demand, aid, or succour, by it. (TA.) b3: فَزِعَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ means He became roused from his sleep; (O, K;) because he who is roused is not free from some fear, or fright: occurring in a trad. in this sense. (O.) And one says, فَزِعْتُ بِمَجِىْءِ فُلَانٍ, meaning I prepared [or roused] myself by reason of the coming of such a one, by a change of state, or condition, like as the sleeper passes from the state of sleeping to that of waking. (TA.) A2: فَزَعَهُ in the phrase فَفَزَعَهُ ↓ فَازَعَهُ means He exceeded him in fear, or fright. (TA.) A3: فُزِعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ: see the next paragraph.2 فزّعهُ: see 4. b2: [It also app. signifies He made a fearful event, or fearful events, to befall him: see its pass. part. n. below.] b3: فَزَّعَ عَنْهُ He removed from him fear, or fright: (O, in two places:) it is implied by the context in the K that عنه ↓ افزع has this meaning; but in the O and other lexicons it is فَزَّعَ. (TA.) And فُزِّعَ عَنْهُ, (S, K,) inf. n. تَفْزِيعٌ, (K,) Fear, or fright, was removed from him. (S, K.) It is said in the Kur [xxxiv. 22], حَتَّى إِذَافُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ, meaning Until, when fear, or fright, shall be removed from their hearts: (S, O:) this is the common reading: another reading is فَزَّعَ, i. e. فَزَّعَ اللّٰهُ: and El-Hasan reads ↓ فُزِعَ: and he says that in this reading and the first, the prep. with its noun are [regarded as supplying the place of the agent and therefore virtually] in the nom. case, as in the phrase سِيرَ عَنِ البَلَدِ: (TA:) some read فُرِّغَ [q. v.]: (O and TA in art. فرغ:) and 'Eesà Ibn-'Omar is related to have read إِذَا افْرَنْقَعَ. (TA in art. فرقع.) 3 فازعهُ فَفَزَعَهُ [He vied with him in fear, or fright,] and he exceeded him therein. (TA. See 1, last sentence but one.) 4 افزعهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. إِفْزَاعٌ, (S, O,) He made him to fear, or to be afraid; frightened him; or terrified him; (S, * O, * Msb, K;) as also ↓ فزّعهُ, (S, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَفْزِيعٌ. (S, O.) And you say, يُفْزَعُ مِنْهُ [One is made to fear, or be afraid of, or is frightened, or terrified, at, it, or him], (S, O, K,) and مِنْ أَجْلِهِ [on account of him, or for the sake of him], (O, K,) and بِهِ [by him, or by means of him]. (O.) b2: [Hence,] He housed him from his sleep. (K, TA. [See 1, last quarter.]) b3: Also He aided, or succoured, him. (S, K.) See 1, former half; and again, in the latter half. b4: See also 2.5 تَفَزَّعَ see 1, first sentence.

فَزَعٌ Fear, or fright: (S, O, K:) originally (S) an inf. n.; but notwithstanding this, (S, * O, K,) sometimes, (S, O,) having a pl., which is أَفْزَاعٌ. (S, O, K.) b2: [And, as seems to be indicated by an explanation of مُفَزَّعٌ (q. v.), A fearful event: pl. as above.]

فَزِعٌ Fearing; being afraid or frightened or terrified; (Er-Rághib, MA, Msb, TA;) thus in a verse cited voce ظُنْبُوبٌ; (Er-Rághib, TA;) and ↓ مُفَازِعٌ is syn. therewith: (O, K:) and one says also ↓ رَجُلٌ فَازِعٌ, pl. فَزَعَةٌ; and ↓ مَفْزُوعٌ; meaning a man put in fear; made afraid; frightened, or terrified. (TA.) And In a state of disquiet, disturbance, or agitation: whence an extraordinary reading, of four readers, in the Kur xxviii. 9, [i. e.

فَزِعًا] for فَارِغًا, relating to the heart of the mother of Moses, meaning in a state of disquiet, &c., almost quitting its pericardium. (TA.) It has no broken pl.; its only pl. being فَزِعُونَ. (TA.) b2: Also Seeking, or demanding, aid, or succour; and Sgh thus explains it [in the O] as used in the verse above mentioned; but Er-Rághib says that this is an explanation of the intended meaning, not of the literal signification: (TA:) and it has also the contr. meaning, aiding, or succouring; thus being trans., though of the measure فَعِلٌ; but it may be altered from ↓ فَازِعٌ, like as حَذِرٌ is [said to be] altered from حَاذِرٌ. (IB, TA,) فَزْعَةٌ: see فَزَعَةٌ.

فُزْعَةٌ A man whom one is made to fear, of whom one is made afraid, or at whom one is frightened: (O, K:) [like مَفْزَعَةٌ as expl. by Lth and others:] and by whom, or by means of whom, one is made afraid, or frightened. (O.) فَزَعَةٌ sing. of فَزَعَات in the phrase فَزَعَاتُ الرُّوعِ [app. meaning The fears, or frights, of the heart]. (TA. [The sing., as well as the pl., is there said to be thus, بِالتَّحْرِيك; but if the former be, as I think it is, an inf. n. un., it should by rule be ↓ فَزْعَةٌ.]) فُزَعَةٌ One who fears men, or is frightened at them: (K:) or one who fears, or is frightened, much, or often; (O;) [and] so ↓ فَزَّاعَةٌ. (TA. [But see what next follows.]) فَزَّاعَةٌ One who makes men to fear, or frightens them, much, or often. (O, K.) See also فُزَعَةٌ.

مَفْزَعٌ i. q. مَلْجَأْ [as meaning A refuge, i. e. a place to which, or a person to whom, one betakes himself, or has recourse, for refuge, protection, or preservation,] (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) on the occasion of the befalling of an affliction or a calamity; (TA;) applied to a sing. and a pl. (S, O, K) and a dual (S, O) and a masc. and a fem.; (S, O, K;) one says, فُلَانٌ مَفْزَعٌ لِلنَّاسِ Such a one is a refuge to men when an event comes upon them suddenly, and هُمَامَفْزَعٌ لِلنَّاسِ, and هُمْ مَفْزَعٌ, &c.; (S, O;) and ↓ مَفْزَعَةٌ is the same in signification and in its applications; (K;) expl. by IF as signifying a place to which one who is in fear, or frightened, betakes himself, or has recourse, for refuge, protection, or preservation: (TA:) or مَفْزَعٌ signifies one of whom aid, or succour, is sought, or demanded: (K:) and ↓ مَفْزَعَةٌ, [a cause of fear or fright; being a word of the class of مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ; i. e.] a thing that one is made to fear, or at which one is frightened; (S;) or a person whom one is made to fear, or at whom one is frightened; [like فُزْعَةٌ;] or on account of whom, or for the sake of whom, one is made to fear, or is frightened: (Lth, O, K:) you say, فُلَانٌ لَنَا مَفْزَعَةٌ [Such a one is to us a person whom we are made to fear, &c.], and in like manner you say of a female, and of a pl. number. (O.) مَفْزَعَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

مُفَزَّعٌ Cowardly; (Fr, O, K;) as being made to fear, or to be frightened at, everything: (Fr, O:) and courageous; (Fr, O, K;) as being one the like of whom fearful events are made to befall (بِمِثْلِهِ تُنْزَلُ الأَفْزَاعُ). (Fr, O. [But what here follows suggests another reason, and I think a better, for the latter meaning.]) مُفَزَّعَةٌ applied by 'Amr Ibn-Maadee-Kerib as an epithet to his اِسْت, in replying to a threat of El-Ash-'ath, who had said to him, لَوْ دَنَوْتَ لَأُضَرِّطَنَّكَ, means Secure from being overcome by fear, or fright, and [therefore] not lax so as to break wind [in consequence of fear]; being from فَزَّعَ عَنْهُ meaning “ he removed fear, or fright, from him; ” or it may be for the same reason as that for which مُفَزَّعٌ is applied to a courageous man. (O.) مَفْزُوعٌ: see فَزِعٌ, first sentence.

شَتَّى وَقَاسَيْتُ فِيهِ اللِّينَ وَالفَظَعَا [I have lived among men during several periods, conforming to disposition differing in kind, (عَلَى

خُلُقٍ شَتَّى being like the phrase إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّى, in the Kur xcii. 4, meaning انّ مَسَاعِيكُمْ لَأَشْتَاتٌ, as is said in the Ksh and by Bd,) and I have endured therein softness and hardness].
