علم السحر
هو: علم يستفاد منه حصول ملكة نفسانية يقتدر بها على أفعال غريبة بأشياء خفية قاله في كشاف اصطلاحات الفنون.
وفي كشف الظنون: هو ما خفي سببه وصعب استنابطه لأكثر العقول.
وحقيقته: كل ما سحر العقول وانقادت إليه النفوس بخدعة وتعجب واستحسان فتميل إلى إصغاء الأقوال والأفعال الصادرة عن الساحر.
فعلى هذا التقدير هو: علم باحث عن معرفة الأحوال الفلكية وأوضاع الكواكب وعن ارتباط كل منها مع الأمور الأرضية من المواليد الثلاثة على وجه خاص ليظهر من ذلك الارتباط والامتزاج عللها وأسبابها وتركيب الساحر في أوقات المناسبة من الأوضاع الفلكية والأنظار الكوكبية بعض المواليد ببعض فيظهر ما جل أثره وخفي سببه من أوضاع عجيبة وأفعال غريبة تحيرت فيها العقول وعجزت عن حل خفاها أفكار الفحول.
أما منفعة هذا: العلم فالاحتراز عن عمله لأنه محرم شرعا إلا أن يكون لدفع ساحر يدعي النبوة فعند ذلك يفترض وجود شخص قادر لدفعه بالعمل ولذلك قال بعض العلماء:
إن تعلم السحر فرض كفاية وإباحة الأكثرون دون عمله إلا إذا تعين لدفع المتنبي.
واختلف الحكماء في طرق السحر:
فطريق الهند: بتصفية النفس وطريق النبط: بعمل العزائم في بعض الأوقات المناسبة.
وطريق اليونان: بتسخير روحانية الأفلاك والكواكب.
وطريق العبرانيين والقبط والعرب: بذكر بعض الأسماء المجهولة المعاني فكأنه قسم من العزائم زعموا أنهم سخروا الملائكة القاهرة للجن. فمن الكتب المؤلفة في هذا الفن: الإيضاح للأندلسي والبساطين لاستخدام الأنس وأرواح الجن والشياطين وبغية الناشد ومطلب القاصد على طريقة العبرانيين والجمهرة أيضا ورسائل أرسطو إلى الإسكندر وغاية الحكيم للمجريطي وكتاب طيماؤس وكتاب الوقوفات للكواكب على طريقة اليونانيين وكتاب سحر النبط لابن وحشية وكتاب العمي على طريقة العبرانيين ومرآة المعاني في إدراك العالم الإنساني على طريقة الهند انتهى ما في كشف الظنون
وفي تاريخ ابن خلدون علم السحر والطلسمات هو: علم بكيفية استعدادات تقتدر النفوس البشرية بها على التأثيرات في عالم العناصر إما بغير معين أو بمعين من الأمور السماوية والأول هو: السحر والثاني: هو الطلسمات.
ولما كانت هذه العلوم مهجورة عند الشرائع لما فيها من الضرر ولما يشترط فيها من الوجهة إلى غير الله من كوكب أو غيره كانت كتبها كالمفقود بين الناس إلا ما وجد في كتب الأمم الأقدمين فيما قبل نبوة موسى عليه السلام مثل: النبط والكلدانيين فإن جميع من تقدمه من الأنبياء لم يشرعوا الشرائع ولا جاؤوا بالأحكام إنما كانت كتبهم مواعظ توحيد الله وتذكير بالجنة والنار وكانت هذه العلوم في أهل بابل من السريانيين والكلدانيين وفي أهل مصر من القبط وغيرهم وكان لهم فيها التأليف والآثار ولم يترجم لنا من كتبهم فيها إلا القليل مثل:
الفلاحة النبطية من أوضاع أهل بابل فأخذ الناس منها هذا العلم وتفننوا فيه ووضعت بعد ذلك الأوضاع مثل: مصاحف الكواكب السبعة وكتاب طمطم الهندي في صور الدرج والكواكب وغيرهم.
ثم ظهر بالمشرق جابر بن حيان كبير السحرة في هذه الملة فتصفح كتب القوم واستخرج الصناعة وغاص على زبدتها واستخرجها ووضع فيها غيرها من التآليف وأكثر الكلام فيها وفي صناعة السيمياء لأنها من توابعها لأن إحالة الأجسام النوعية من صورة إلى أخرى إنما يكون بالقوة النفسية لا بالصناعة العملية فهو من قبيل السحر ثم جاء مسلمة بن أحمد المجريطي إمام أهل الأندلس في التعاليم والسحريات فلخص جميع تلك الكتب وهذبها وجمع طرقها في كتابه الذي سماه غاية الحكيم ولم يكتب أحد في هذا العلم بعده ولنقدم هنا مقدمة يتبين بها حقيقة السحر وذلك أن النفوس البشرية وإن كانت واحدة بالنوع فهي مختلفة بالخواص وهي أصناف كل صنف مختص بخاصية واحدة بالنوع لا توجد في الصنف الآخر وصارت تلك الخواص فطرة وجبلة لصنفها.
فنفوس الأنبياء عليهم السلام لها خاصية تستعد بها للمعرفة الربانية ومخاطبة الملائكة عليهم السلام عن الله - سبحانه وتعالى - كما مر وما يتبع ذلك من التأثير في الأكوان واستجلاب روحانية الكواكب للتصرف فيها والتأثير بقوة نفسانية أو شيطانية.
فأما تأثير الأنبياء فمدد إلهي وخاصية ربانية ونفوس الكهنة لها خاصية الاطلاع على المغيبات بقوى شيطانية وهكذا كل صنف مختص بخاصية لا توجد في الآخر.
والنفوس الساحرة على مراتب ثلاثة يأتي شرحها:
فأولها: المؤثرة بالهمة فقط من غير إله ولا معين وهذا هو الذي تسميه الفلاسفة: السحر.
والثاني: بمعين من مزاج الأفلاك أو العناصر أو خواص الأعداد ويسمونه: الطلسمات وهو أضعف رتبة من الأول. والثالث: تأثير في القوى المتخيلة يعمد صاحب هذا التأثير إلى القوى المتخيلة فيتصرف فيها بنوع من التصرف ويلقي فيها أنواعا من الخيالات والمحاكات وصورا مما يقصده من ذلك ثم ينزلها إلى الحسن من الرائين بقوة نفسه المؤثرة فيه فينظر الراؤون كأنها في الخارج وليس هناك شيء من ذلك كما يحكي عن بعضهم أنه يرى البساتين والأنهار والقصور وليس هناك شيء من ذلك ويسمى هذا عند الفلاسفة: الشعوذة أو الشعبذة هذا تفصيل مراتبه.
ثم هذه الخاصية تكون في الساحرة بالقوة شأن القوى البشرية كلها وإنما تخرج إلى الفعل بالرياضة ورياضة السحر كلها إنما تكون بالتوجه إلى الأفلاك والكواكب والعوالم العلوية والشياطين بأنواع التعظيم والعبادة والخضوع والتذلل فهي لذلك وجهه إلى غير الله وسجود له والوجهة إلى غير الله كفر فلهذا كان السحر كفرا والكفر من مواده وأسبابه كما رأيت ولهذا اختلف الفقهاء في قتل الساحر هل هو لكفره السابق على فعله أو لتصرفه بالإفساد وما ينشأ عنه من الفساد في الأكوان والكل حاصل منه.
ولما كانت المرتبتان الأوليان من السحر لهما حقيقة في الخارج والمرتبة الأخيرة الثالثة لا حقيقة لها اختلف العلماء في السحر هل هو حقيقة أو إنما هو تخييل؟
فالقائلون بأن له حقيقة: نظروا إلى المرتبتين الأوليين.
والقائلون بأن لا حقيقة له: نظروا إلى المرتبة الثالثة الأخيرة فليس بينهم اختلاف في نفس الأمر بل إنما جاء من قبل اشتباه هذه المراتب والله أعلم.
واعلم أن وجود السحر لا مرية فيه بين العقلاء من أجل التأثير الذي ذكرناه وقد نطق به القرآن قال الله تعالى: {وَلَكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّى يَقُولا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلا تَكْفُرْ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِ وَمَا هُمْ بِضَارِّينَ بِهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ} .
وسحر رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - حتى كان يخيل إليه أنه يفعل الشيء ولا يفعله وجعل سحره في مشط ومشاقة وجف طلعة ودفن في بئر ذروان فأنزل الله عز وجل عليه في المعوذتين {وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ} .
قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها: فكان لا يقرأ على عقدة من تلك العقد التي سحر فيها إلا انحلت.
وأما وجود السحر في أهل بابل وهم الكلدانيون من النبط والسريانيون فكثير ونطق به القرآن وجاءت به الأخبار
وكان للسحر في بابل ومصر زمان بعثه موسى عليه السلام أسواق نافقة ولهذا كانت معجزة موسى من جنس ما يدعون ويتناغون فيه وبقي من آثار ذلك في البرابي بصعيد مصر شواهد دالة على ذلك ورأينا بالعيان من يصور صورة الشخص المسحور بخواص أشياء مقابلة لما نواه وحلوله موجودة بالمسحور وأمثال تلك المعاني من أسماء وصفات في التأليف والتفريق
ثم يتكلم على تلك الصورة التي أقامها مقام الشخص المسحور عينا أو معنى ثم ينفث من ريقه بعد اجتماعه في فيه بتكرير مخارج تلك الحروف من الكلام السوء ويعقد على ذلك المعنى في سبب أعده لذلك تفاؤلا بالعقد واللزام وأخذ العهد على من أشرك به من الجن في نفثه في فعله ذلك استشعارا للعزيمة ولتلك البنية والأسماء السيئة روح خبيثة تخرج منه مع النفخ متعلقة بريقه الخارج من فيه بالنفث فتنزل عنها أرواح خبيثة ويقع عن ذلك بالمسحور ما يحاوله الساحر.
وشاهدنا أيضا من المنتحلين للسحر عمله من يشير إلى كساء أو جلد ويتكلم عليه في سره فإذا هو مقطوع مترف ويشير إلى بطون الغنم كذلك في مراعيها بالبعج فإذا أمعاؤها ساقطة من بطونها إلى الأرض.
وسمعنا أن بأرض الهند لهذا العهد من يشير إلى إنسان فيتحتت قلبه ويقع ميتا وينقب عن قلبه فلا يوجد في حشاه ويشير إلى الرمانة وتفتح فلا يوجد من حبوبها شيء.
وكذلك سمعنا أن بأرض السودان وأرض الترك من يسحر السحاب فيمطر الأرض المخصوصة.
وكذلك رأينا من عمل الطلسمات عجائب في الأعداد المتحابة وهي رك رف د أحد العددين مائتان وعشرون والآخر مائتان وأربعة وثمانون.
ومعنى المتحابة: أن أجزاء كل واحد التي فيه من نصف وثلث وربع وسدس وخمس وأمثالها إذا جمع كان مساويا للعدد الآخر صاحبه فيسمى لأجل ذلك: المتحابة.
ونقل أصحاب الطلسمات: أن لتلك الأعداد أثرا في الإلفة بين المتحابين واجتماعهما إذا وضع لهما مثالان أحدهما بطالع الزهرة وهي في بيتها أو شرفها ناظرة إلى القمر نظر مودة وقبول ويجعل طالع الثاني سابع الأول ويضع على أحد التمثالين أحد العددين والآخر على الآخر ويقصد بالأكثر الذي يراد ائتلافه أعني المحبوب ما أدري الأكثر كمية أو الأكثر أجزاء فيكون لذلك من التأليف العظيم بين المتحابين ما لا يكاد ينفك أحدهما عن الآخر قاله صاحب الغاية وغيره من أئمة هذا الشأن وشهدت له التجربة.
وكذا طابع الأسد ويسمى أيضا: طابع الحصى وهو أن يرسم في قالب هذا الطابع صورة أسد شائلا ذنبه عاضا على حصاة قد قسمها بنصفين وبين يديه صورة حية منسابة من رجليه إلى قبالة وجهه فاغرة فاها إلى فيه وعلى ظهره صورة عقرب تدب ويتحين برسمه حلول الشمس بالوجه الأول أو الثالث من الأسد بشرط صلاح النيرين وسلامتهما من النحوس فإذا وجد ذلك وعثر عليه طبع في ذلك الوقت في مقدار المثقال فما دونه من الذهب وغمس بعد في الزعفران محلولا بماء الورد ورفع في خرقة حرير صفراء فإنهم يزعمون أن لممسكه من العز على السلاطين في مباشرتهم وخدمتهم وتسخيرهم له ما لا يعبر عنه وكذلك السلاطين فيه من القوة والعز على من تحت أيديهم ذكر ذلك أيضا أهل هذا الشأن في الغاية وغيرها وشهدت له التجرية.
وكذلك وفق المسدس المختص بالشمس ذكروا أنه يوضع عند حلول الشمس في شرفها وسلامتها من النحوس وسلامة القمر بطالع ملوكي يعتبر فيه نظر صاحب العاشر لصاحب الطالع نظر مودة وقبول ويصلح فيه ما يكون في مواليد الملوك من الأدلة الشريفة ويرفع خرقة حرير صفراء بعد أن يغمس في الطيب فزعموا أنه له أثرا في صحابة الملوك وخدمتهم ومعاشرتهم وأمثال ذلك كثيرة.
وكتاب الغاية لمسلمة بن أحمد المجريطي هو مدون هذه الصناعة وفيه استيفاؤها وكمال مسائلها. وذكر لنا1 أن الإمام الفخر بن الخطيب وضع كتابا في ذلك وسماه: بالسر المكتوم وإنه بالمشرق يتداوله أهله ونحن لم نقف عليه والإمام لم يكن من أئمة هذا الشأن فيما نظن ولعل الأمر بخلاف ذلك وبالمغرب صنف من هؤلاء المنتحلين لهذه الأعمال السحرية يعرفون بالبعاجين وهم الذين ذكرت أولا أنهم يشيرون إلى الكساء أو الجلد فيتخرق ويشيرون إلى بطون الغنم بالبعج فتنبعج ويسمى أحدهم لهذا العهد باسم: البعاج لأن أكثر ما ينتحل من السحر بعج الأنعام يرتب بذلك أهلها ليعطوه من فضلها وهم متسترون بذلك في الغاية خوفا على أنفسهم من الحكام لقيت منهم جماعة وشاهدت من أفعالهم هذه بذلك وأخبروني أن لهم وجهة ورياضة خاصة بدعوات كفرية وإشراك روحانيات الجن والكواكب سطرت فيها صحيفة عندهم تسمى الخزيرية يتدارسونها وإن بهذه الرياضة والوجهة يصلون إلى حصول هذه الأفعال لهم وإن التأثير الذي لهم إنما هو فيما سوى الإنسان الحر من المتاع والحيوان والرقيق يعبرون عن ذلك بقولهم: إنما انفعل فيما تمشي فيه الدراهم أي: ما يملك ويباع ويشترى من سائر الممتلكات هذا ما زعموه وسألت بعضهم فأخبرني به.
وأما أفعالهم فظاهرة موجودة وقفنا على الكثير منها وعاينتها من غير ريبة في ذلك هذا شأن السحر والطلسمات وآثارهما في العالم
فأما الفلاسفة ففرقوا بين السحر والطلسمات بعد أن أثبتوا أنهما جميعا أثر للنفس الإنسانية واستدلوا على وجود الأثر للنفس الإنسانية بأن لها آثارا في بدنها على غير المجرى الطبعي وأسبابه الجسمانية بل آثار عارضة من كيفيات الأرواح تارة كالسخونة الحادثة عن الفرح والسرور من جهة التصورات النفسانية أخرى كالذي يقع من قبل التوهم فإن الماشي على حرف حائط أو على حبل منتصب إذا قوي عنده توهم السقوط سقط بلا شك ولهذا تجد كثيرا من الناس يعودون أنفسهم ذلك حتى يذهب عنهم هذا الوهم فتجدهم يمشون على حرف الحائط والحبل المنتصب ولا يخافون السقوط فثبت أن ذلك من آثار النفس الإنسانية وتصورها للسقوط من أجل الوهم وإذا كان ذلك أثرا للنفس في بدنها من غير الأسباب الجسمانية الطبيعية فجائز أن يكون لها مثل هذا الأثر في غير بدنها إذ نسبتها إلى الأبدان في ذلك النوع من التأثير واحدة لأنها غير حالة في البدن ولا منطبعة فيه فثبت أنها مؤثرة في سائر الأجسام.
وأما التفرقة عندهم بين السحر والطلسمات فهو: أن السحر لا يحتاج الساحر فيه إلى معين وصاحب الطلسمات يستعين بروحانيات الكواكب وأسرار الأعداد وخواص الموجودات وأوضاع الفلك المؤثرة في عالم العناصر كما يقوله المنجمون.
ويقولون: السحر اتحاد روح بروح. والطلسم: اتحاد روح بجسم.
ومعناه عندهم: ربط الطبائع العلوية السماوية بالطبائع السفلية.
والطبائع العلوية هي: روحانيات الكواكب ولذلك يستعين صاحبه في غالب الأمر بالنجامة.
والساحر عندهم: غير مكتسب لسحره بل هو مفطور عندهم على تلك الجبلة المختصة بذلك النوع من التأثير.
والفرق عندهم بين المعجزة والسحر أن المعجزة إلهية تبعث في النفس ذلك التأثير فهو مؤيد بروح الله على فعله ذلك والساحر إنما يفعل ذلك من عند نفسه وبقوته النفسانية وبإمداد الشياطين في بعض الأحوال.
فبينهما الفرق في المعقولية والحقيقة والذات في نفس الأمر وإنما نستدل نحن على التفرقة بالعلامات الظاهرة وهي: وجود المعجزة لصاحب الخير وفي مقاصد الخير وللنفوس المتمحضة للخير والتحدي بها على دعوى النبوة والسحر إنما يوجد لصاحب الشر وفي أفعال الشر في الغالب من التفريق بين الزوجين وضرر الأعداء وأمثال ذلك وللنفوس المتمحضة للشر
هذا هو الفرق بينهما عند الحكماء الإلهيين وقد يوجد لبعض المتصوفة وأصحاب الكرامات تأثير أيضا في أحوال العالم وليس معدودا من جنس السحر وإنما هو بالإمداد الإلهي لأن طريقتهم ونحلتهم من آثار النبوة وتوابعها ولهم في المدد الإلهي حظ على قدر حالهم وإيمانهم وتمسكهم بكلمة الله وإذا اقتدر أحد منهم على أفعال الشر فلا يأتيها لأنه متقيد فيما يأتيه ويذره للأمر الإلهي فما لا يقع لهم فيه الإذن لا يأتونه بوجه ومن أتاه منهم فقد عدل عن طريق الحق وربما سلب حاله.
ولما كانت المعجزة بإمداد روح الله والقوى الإلهية فلذلك لا يعارضها شيء من السحر وانظر شأن سحرة فرعون مع موسى في معجزة العصا كيف تلقفت ما كانوا يأفكون وذهب سحرهم واضمحل كأن لم يكن وكذلك لما أنزل على النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - في المعوذتين {وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ} قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها: فكان لا يقرؤها على عقدة من العقد التي سحر فيها إلا انحلت فالسحر لا يثبت مع اسم الله وذكره.
وقد نقل المؤرخون أن زركش كاويان وهي راية كسرى كان فيه الوفق المئيني العددي منسوجا بالذهب في أوضاع فلكية رصدت لذلك الوفق ووجدت الراية يوم قتل رستم بالقادسية واقعة على الأرض بعد انهزام أهل فارس وشتاتهم وهو الطلسمات والأوفاق مخصوص بالغلب في الحروب وإن الراية التي يكون فيها أو معها لا تنهزم أصلا إلا أن هذه عارضها المدد الإلهي من إيمان أصحاب رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وتمسكهم بكلمة الله فانحل معها كل عقد سحري ولم يثبت وبطل ما كانوا يعملون.
وأما الشريعة فلم تفرق بين السحر والطلسمات وجعلتهما بابا واحدا محظورا لأن الأفعال إنما أباح لنا الشارع منها ما يهمنا في ديننا الذي فيه صلاح آخرتنا أو في معاشنا الذي فيه صلاح دنيانا وما لا يهمنا في شيء منهما فإن كان فيه ضرر ونوع ضرر كالسحر الحاصل ضرره بالوقوع يلحق به الطلسمات لأن أثرهما واحد وكالنجامة التي فيها نوع ضرر باعتقاد التأثير فتفسد العقيدة الإيمانية برد الأمور إلى غير الله تعالى فيكون حينئذ ذلك الفعل محظورا على نسبته في الضرر وإن لم يكن مهما علينا ولا فيه ضرر فلا أقل من أن تركه قربة إلى الله فإن من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه فجعلت الشريعة باب السحر والطلسمات والشعوذة بابا واحدا لما فيها من الضرر وخصته بالحظر والتحريم.
وأما الفرق عندهم بين المعجزة والسحر: فالذي ذكره المتكلمون أنه راجع إلى التحدي وهو دعوى وقوعها على وفق ما ادعاه قالوا: والساحر مصروف عن مثل هذا التحدي فلا يقع منه وقوع المعجزة على وفق دعوى الكاذب غير مقدور لأن دلالة المعجزة على الصدق عقلية لأن صفة نفسها التصديق فلو وقعت مع الكذب لاستحال الصادق كاذبا وهو محال فإذا لا تقع المعجزة مع الكاذب بإطلاق.
وأما الحكماء: فالفرق بينهما عندهم كما ذكرناه فرق ما بين الخير والشر في نهاية الطرفين فالساحر لا يصدر منه الخير ولا يستعمل في أسباب الخير وصاحب المعجزة لا يصدر منه الشر ولا يستعمل في أسباب الشر فكأنهما على طرفي النقيض في أصل فطرتهم والله يهدي من يشاء وهو القوي العزيز لا رب سواه.
ومن قبيل هذه التأثيرات النفسانية الإصابة بالعين وهو تأثير من نفس المعيان عندما يستحسن بعينه مدركا من الذوات أو الأحوال ويفرط في استحسانه وينشأ عن ذلك الاستحسان حينئذ أنه يروم معه سلب ذلك الشيء عمن اتصف به فيؤثر فساده وهو جبلة فطرية أعني هذه الإصابة بالعين.
والفرق بينها وبين التأثيرات وإن كان منها ما لا يكتسب أن صدورها راجع إلى اختيار فاعلها والفطري منها قوة صدروها لا نفس صدروها ولهذا قالوا: القاتل بالسحر أو بالكرامة يقتل والقاتل بالعين لا يقتل وما ذلك إلا لأنه ليس مما يريده ويقصده أو يتركه وإنما هو مجبور في صدوره عنه والله أعلم بما في الغيوب ومطلع على ما في السرائر انتهى كلام ابن خلدون ومن عينه نقلت هنا وفي كل موضع من هذا الكتاب والله تعالى الموفق للحق والصواب.

سر

1 سَرَّهُ, accord. to the TA, has two contr. significations: for it is there stated that “ one says سَرَرْتُهُ meaning كَتَمْتُهُ and سَرَرْتُهُ meaning أَعْلَنْتُهُ: ” and it is added that “ it will occur again soon: ” but it does not again occur in that work, nor have I found it in any other lexicon: I therefore think that it is a mistranscription, for أَسْرَرْتُهُ, first Pers\. of أَسَرَّهُ, q. v.]

A2: سَرَّهُ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (MS,) inf. n. مَسَرَّةٌ (S, O, K) and سُرُورٌ [which latter, from the explanations of it which will be found below, seems to be generally, if not only, as an inf. n., that of سُرَّ,] and سُرٌّ [which is also syn. with سُرُورٌ in the senses assigned to the latter below] and سُرَّى and تَسِرَّةٌ [which last may be also an inf. n. of ↓ سرّرهُ expl. by Freytag as syn. with سَرَّهُ in the sense here following, but without an indication of any authority], (O, K,) He, or it, rejoiced him; gladdened him; or made him happy; syn. أَفْرَحَهُ: (Msb, K:) [or made him to experience a pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there was no external sign: see سُرُورٌ, below.] And سُرَّ, [inf. n. سُرُورٌ, (see above,)] He rejoiced; was joyful, or glad; or was happy: (S, * A, * K:) [or he experienced a pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there was no external sign; accord. to an explanation of سُرُورٌ:] you say, سُرَّ بِهِ and ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّ [He rejoiced, was joyful or glad, or was happy, by reason of him, or it]. (A.) b2: سَرَّهُ, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) also signifies He saluted him with [the offering of what are termed] المَسَرَّة, i. e. the extremities of sweet-smelling plants. (K.) A3: Also سَرَّهُ, (S, M,) aor. as above, inf. n. سَرٌّ, (S,) or سِرٌّ, (so in a copy of the M,) He cut his (a child's) سِرَر, or سُرّ, i. e. navel-string. (S, M.) and سُرَّ He (a child) had his navel-string cut. (K.) b2: And سَرَّهُ, aor. as above, He pierced him, or thrust him, [with a spear or the like,] in his سُرَّة [or navel]: a poet says, وَإِنْ أَدْبَرُوا فَهُمُ مَنْ يُسَبْ نَسُرُّهُمُ إِنْ هُمُ أَقْبَلُوا [We pierce them in the navel if they advance; and if they retreat, they are those who are pierced in the podex; يُسَبْ being for يُسَبُّ]. (S.) A4: سَرَّ الزَّنْدَ, aor. as above, inf. n. سَرٌّ, He put a piece of wood, (M, K,) or a little piece of wood, (S,) in the interior of the زند [or piece of stick, or wood, for producing fire], (M,) or in its extremity, (S, K,) inserting it in its interior, (S,) in order that he might produce fire with it. (S, M, K.) One says, سُرَّ زَنْدَكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَسَرُّ Fill up the interior of thy زند, that it may produce fire, (AHn, M,) for it is [worn] hollow. (S, K.) A5: سَرَّ, [sec. Pers\. سَرِرْتَ,] aor. ـَ (IAar, Sgh, L, K,) inf. n. سَرَرٌ, remarked upon by MF as extr., [though it is agreeable with a general rule,] said of a man, (TA,) He had a complaint of the سُرَّة [or navel]. (IAar, Sgh, L, K.) b2: Also, aor. and inf. n. as in the next preceding case, said of a camel, He had the pain, or disorder, termed سَرَرٌ [q. v.]. (IAar, M.) 2 سَرَّّ see 1, second sentence.

A2: سَرَّرْتُهُ in the phrase سَرَّرْتُهُ سُرِّيَّةً I gave him, or caused him to take, a concubine slave, doubly trans., is [said to be] changed to سَرَّيْتُهُ for alleviation of the pronunciation. (Msb.) A3: سرّرهُ, inf. n. تَسْرِيرٌ, said of water, It reached his سُرَّة [or navel]. (K.) 3 سارّهُ, inf. n. مُسَارَّةٌ and سِرَارٌ, (S, M,) [He spoke, or discoursed, secretly to him or with him;] he acquainted him with a secret. (M.) You say, سارّهُ فِى أُذُنِهِ He spoke secretly to him in his ear. (S, * K, * TK.) And كَانَ يُحَدِّثُهُ كَأَخِى السِّرَارِ occurs in a trad., meaning He (Mohammad) used to talk to him ('Omar) in a low voice, like him who is telling a secret. (TA.) b2: بَيْعُ السِّرَارِ is The selling in which one says, “I will put forth my hand and thou shalt put forth thy hand, and if I produce my signet-ring before thee, it is a sale for such a price; and if thou produce thy signet-ring before me, for such a price: ” if they produce together, or do not both produce, they do thus again. (Mgh.) 4 اسرّهُ, (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِسْرَارٌ; (Msb;) [and accord. to the TA سَرَّهُ; but see the first sentence of this art.;] He concealed it; suppressed it; kept it secret; (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) namely, a story, or the like: (A, Mgh, Msb:) and, contr., he manifested it; revealed it; published it; made it known. (S, M, Msb, K.) Both of these significations have been assigned to the verb in the phrase وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ, in the Kur [x. 55 and xxxiv. 32]: (S:) some say, that the meaning is They will manifest repentance: Th says, they will conceal it from their chiefs: the former [says ISd] is the more correct: (M:) the former meaning is also given on the authority of AO; but Sh says, I have not heard it on the authority of any other; and Az says that the lexicologists most strongly disapprove of the saying of AO; and it is said that the meaning is, they, the chiefs of the polytheists, will conceal repentance from the lower class of their people, whom they shall have caused to err; and in like manner say Zj and the [other] expositors. (TA.) In like manner also the two contr. significations are assigned to the verb in the saying of Imra-el- Keys, [in his Mo'allakah,] لَوْ يُسِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى, which As used to quote with ش, thus, لَوْ يُشِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى, meaning that they might publish, or make known, my slaughter. (S.) You say also, أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِ حَدِيثًا He revealed unto him a story (S, K) secretly. (TA.) An ex. occurs in the Kur lxvi. 3. (TA.) And أَسْرَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ المَوَدَّةَ, and بِالمَوَدَّةِ, I showed, or manifested, to him love, or affection. (S.) It is said in the Kur [lx. 1], تُسِرُّونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ, meaning, Ye reveal to them the news of the Prophet by reason of the love that is between you and them; the objective complement of the verb being suppressed: or المودّة may be an objective complement, the ب being a redundant corroborative, as in أَخَذَ الخِطَامَ and أَخَذَ بِهِ: (Msb:) and this interpretation is correct; for إِسْرَارٌ to a person necessarily implies revealing a secret to him and at the same time concealing it from another. (B.) b2: وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَاعَةً, in the Kur xii. 19, signifies And they concealed, or kept secret, his case, making him as an article of merchandise: (Jel:) or they conjectured in their minds that they should obtain, by selling him, merchandise. (TA.) [See also an ex. voce اِرْتَغَى, in art. رغو.] b3: اسرّ الفَاتِحَةَ, and بِالفَاتِحَةِ, He recited the Fátihah [or First Chapter of the Kur-án] secretly, or inaudibly: (Msb:) or the latter form of expression is a mistake. (Mgh.) b4: أَسْرَرْتُهُ also signifies نَسَبْتُهُ إِلَى السِّرِّ [which may mean either I attributed it to secrecy, or, like many phrases of this kind, by inversion, I attributed to him secrecy, or mystery]. (Msb.) 5 تسرّر and تسرّى, (M, K,) and ↓ استسرّ, (K,) He took to himself a concubine-slave. (M, * K, * TA.) And تَسَرَّرْتُ جَارِيَةً, and تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (S,) and ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (TA,) I took to myself a girl, or young woman, as a concubine-slave. (S, * TA.) تَسَرَّرْتُهَا is [said to be] thus changed to تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (T, S, Msb,) for alleviation of the pronunciation, (Msb,) on account of the three ر s following one another, (T,) being like تَظَنَّنْتُ and تَظَنَّيْتُ. (T, * S.) Lth says that تسرّيت is a mistake; but Az says that it is correct. (TA.) ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّنِى

occurs in a trad. as signifying He took me to himself as a concubine-slave; but by rule one should say تَسَرَّرَنِى, or تَسَرَّانِى: as to ↓ استسرّنى, it [more properly] signifies “ He revealed to me his secret. ” (TA.) b2: تَسَرَّرَ فُلَانٌ بِنْتَ فُلَانٍ [as though signifying Such a one took to himself the daughter of such a one as a concubine-slave] is said when a man of low birth takes as his wife a woman or girl of high birth because of the abundance of his property and the littleness of hers. (M.) 6 تسارّوا They spoke, or discoursed, secretly together; acquainted one another with secrets. (S, K.) [See also 3.]

A2: تسارّإِلَى ذٰلِكَ (tropical:) He experienced pleasure, or delight, at that: as, for instance, at his scratching a part of his body, or pressing, or kneading, it; and at a thing disliked by another person. (A, TA.) [But I am in some doubt as to the correctness of this, and incline to think that it is a mistake for ↓ استسرّ.]10 استسرّ He, or it, became concealed; or he, or it, concealed himself or itself: (K:) it (a thing, or an affair,) became hidden or concealed or secret: (A, Msb:) it (the moon) became concealed (S, M, A, TA) by the light of the sun, (TA,) [i. e. by its proximity to the sun,] for one night, or for two nights. (AO, S.) A2: استسرّهُ He took extraordinary pains in concealing it, or keeping it secret. (TA.) b2: See also 5, in four places. b3: اِسْتَسَرَّنِى He revealed to me his secret. (TA.) A3: See also 1; and see 6, last sentence.

سَرٌّ A man who rejoices, or gladdens, another; or makes him happy; (S, K;) [and so ↓ سَارٌّ:] fem. سَرَّةٌ; with which ↓ سَارَّةٌ is syn. (Lh, M, K.) You say رَجُلٌ بَرٌّ سَرٌّ A man who treats with goodness and affection and gentleness, and rejoices &c., (S, K, TA,) his brethren: (TA:) pl. بَرُّونَ سَرُّونَ. (S, K.) سُرٌّ: see سُرُورٌ: A2: and سِرٌّ, last sentence but one.

A3: It is also a contraction of سُرُرٌ, pl. of سَرِيرٌ. (Sb, M.) A4: Also, and ↓ سِرَرٌ, (S, M, K,) and ↓ سَرَرٌ, (S, K, in the CK سُرَر,) The navel-string of a child; i. e. the thing that the midwife cuts off from the navel (سُرَّة) of a child; (S, K;) the thing that hangs from the navel (سُرَّة) of a newborn child, and that is cut off: or ↓ سِرَرٌ signifies the part that is cut off thereof, and that goes away: (M:) pl. (of سِرَرٌ, S, [or of سُرٌّ or سَرَرٌ,]) أَسِرَّةٌ, (Yaakoob, S, M, K,) which is extr. (M.) One says, عَرَفْتُ ذٰلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ سُرُّكَ [I knew that before thy navel-string was cut]: one should not say سُرَّتُكَ; for the سُرَّة is not cut. (S.) and وَاحِدِ ↓ وَلَدَتْ ثَلَاثَةً فِى سَرَرٍ She brought forth three [boys] consecutively, or one at the heels of another. (M.) [See also سِرٌّ, last sentence.]

سِرٌّ A secret; a thing that is concealed, or suppressed, (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) in the mind; (TA;) as also ↓ سَرِيرَةٌ: (S, M, A, K:) or the former has the above-mentioned signification, and the latter signifies a secret action, whether good or evil: (Lth:) [and the former, also, a mystery:] pl. of the former, أَسْرَارٌ; (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) and of the latter, سَرَائِرُ. (S, A, K.) It is said in a prov., مَا يَوْمُ حَلِيمَةَ بِسِرٍّ [The day of Haleemeh is not a secret]: applied to anything commonly known: alluding to Haleemeh the daughter of El-Hárith the son of Aboo-Shemir El-Ghassánee; for, when her father sent an army to El-Mundhir the son of Má-es-Semà, she took forth for the soldiers some perfume in a vessel (مِرْكَن), and perfumed them with it. (S.) [You say also, هُوَ مَوْضِعُ سِرِّى He is the depositary of my secret, or secrets.] The words of the Kur [lxxxvi. 9] ↓ يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ signify In the day wherein the secret tenets and intentions shall be tried and revealed: (Jel:) or by السرائر is here meant fasting, and prayer, and alms-giving, and ablution on account of the pollution termed جَنَابَة. (TA.) [See also a verse cited in the third paragraph of art. عرض.] b2: A thing that is revealed, appears, or is made manifest: thus it has two contrary significations. (MF.) b3: السِّرُّ [for مَحَلُّ السِّرِّ, (assumed tropical:) The heart; the mind; the recesses of the mind; the secret thoughts; the soul;] is a syn. of الضَّمِيرُ. (K in art. ضمر. [See also سَرِيرَةٌ.]) [لَا تُتْعِبْ سِرَّكَ (assumed tropical:) Weary not thy heart, or mind, is a common modern phrase.

(Ham p. 304.) سِرِّيَّةٌ A free woman with whom one has sexual intercourse secretly, (Msb, TA, *) or who prostitutes herself: (TA:) distinguished from سُرِّيَّةٌ [q. v.].

↓ أَيْضًا, the last word is the inf. n. of آضَ in the sense of عَادَ, (ISK, IDrd, S, M, Msb, *) and in the sense of رَجَعَ: (IDrd, M:) and the meaning is, [I did such a thing again, or a second time;] I returned to the doing of such a thing: (IDrd, M:) or I did such a thing returning to what had preceded. (Msb, K. *) [It also, and more commonly, signifies I did such a thing also.] When one says, ↓ فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ أَيْضًا [I did that again, &c.], you say, ↓ قَدْ أَكْيَرْتَ مِنْ أَيْضٍ [Thou hast made much use of the expression أَيْضًا], and ↓ دَعْنِى مِنْ أَيْضٍ [Let me alone and cease from using the expression أَيْضًا]. (ISk, S.) b4: أَيْضٌ also signifies (tropical:) A thing's becoming another, or a different, thing; and being changed from its state or condition [to another and a different state or condition]: (Lth, K: *) so says Kh. (Ham p. 356.) And آضَ كَذَا (tropical:) He, or it, became such a thing. (Lth, S, M, * K.) You say, آضَ سَوَادُ شَعَرِهِ بَيَاضًا (A, TA) (tropical:) The blackness of his hair became whiteness. (TA.)

[I traversed, when the mirage, or the mirage of the morning, became as though it were swords which were removed a while, then met]. (S.) أَيْضٌ and أَيْضًا: see above, in four places.

بل

1 بَلَّهُ (S, M, &c.,) aor. ـُ (S, M,) inf. n. بَلٌّ (M, Msb, K) and بِلَّةٌ, (M, K,) He moistened it (S, M, K) with water (M, Msb, K) &c.; (M;) and in like manner, ↓ بلّلهُ, (S, M, K,) but signifying he moistened it much. (S, TA.) b2: [Hence,] بَلَّتِ الإِبِلُ أَغْمَارَهَا [The camels damped their thirst;] i. e., drank a little. (TA in art. غمر.) b3: [Hence also,] بَلَّ رَحِمَهُ, (T, S, M, K,) aor. ـُ (T, M,) inf. n. بَلٌّ (with fet-h, TA [in the CK it has kesr]) and بِلَالٌ, (M, K,) (tropical:) He made close [or he refreshed] his ties of relationship by behaving with goodness and affection and gentleness to his kindred; syn. وَصَلَهَا, (T, S, M, K,) and نَدَّاهَا: (T:) for, as some things are conjoined and commixed by moisture, and become disunited by dryness, بَلٌّ is metaphorically used to denote conjunction, as above, and يُبْسٌ to denote the contrary. (TA.) A poet says, وَالرِّحْمَ فابْلُلْهَا بِخَيْرِ البُلَّانْ فَإِنَهَااشْتُقَّتْ مِنِ اسْمِ الرَّحْمٰنْ [(tropical:) And the ties of relationship, make thou them close &c. by the best mode, or modes, of doing so; for the name thereof is derived from the name of the Compassionate]: here ↓البُلَّان may be a noun in the sing. number, like غُفْرَانٌ, or it may be pl. of بَلَلٌ, which may be either a subst. or an. inf. n., for some inf. ns. have pls., as شُغْلٌ and عَقْلٌ and مَرَضٌ. (M.) And it is said in a trad., بُلُّوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ وَلَوْ بِالسَّلَامِ (tropical:) Make ye close [or refresh ye] your ties of relationship &c., though but, or if only, by salutation; syn. صِلُوهَا, (M,) or نَدُّوهَا بِالصِّلَةِ. (S.) And hence the saying in another trad., إِذَ اسْتَشَنَّ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ اللّٰهِ فَابْلُلْهُ بِالإِحْسَانِ إِلَى عِبَادَهِ (tropical:) [When the tie between thee and God wears out, repair thou it, or refresh thou it, by beneficence to his servants]. (TA.) [See also بِلَالٌ.] b4: بَلَّكَ اللّٰهُ بِابْنٍ, (S, M, K,) and ابْنًا, (M, K,) (assumed tropical:) May God give thee a son. (S, M, K, TA.) Hence, perhaps, the phrase, بُلَّتْ يَدَاكَ بِهِ as meaning (assumed tropical:) Thou was given it. (Har p. 479.) You say also, بَلَلْتُهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) I gave to him. (T.) And ↓ لَا تَبْلُكَ عِنْدِى بَالَّةٌ, and ↓ بَلَالٌ, (T, S, M, K, [but in the K عِنْدَنَا, and “ or ” for “ and,” and in the CK لا تَبَلُّكَ,]) (tropical:) No bounty, (S,) no good, or no benefit, shall betide thee from me, (T, S, K, TA,) nor will I profit thee, nor believe thee. (T.) b5: بَلُّوا They sowed land. (ISh, T, K.) A2: [بَلَّ as an intrans. verb perhaps primarily signifies It was, or became, moist; and has for its sec. Pers\. بَلِلْتَ or بَلَلْتَ, and for its aor. ـَ or بَلِّ, and for its inf. n. بَلَلٌ, and probably بِلَّةٌ &c. mentioned with that noun below. b2: And hence,] بَلَّتِ الرِّيحُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. بُلُولٌ, The wind was cold and moist. (M, K.) [See بَلِيلٌ.] b3: [And hence, probably, as though originally said of one who had had a fever,] بَلَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. بَلٌّ (S, M, K) and بَلَلٌ and بُلُولٌ; (M, K) and ↓ ابلّ, and ↓ استبلّ; (S, M, K;) He recovered from his disease: (S, M:) and ↓ ابتلّ and ↓ تبلّل he became in a good condition after leanness, or meagerness: (M,Z:) or all have this latter signification: and the second (ابلّ) has the former also. (K.) b4: And بَلَّ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ (M,) inf. n. بُلُولٌ; and ↓ ابلّ; He (a man, TA) escaped, or became safe or secure, (M, K,) from difficulty, distress, or straitness. (TA.) b5: بَلَّ فِى الأَرْض, (Msb, K, * TA,) aor. ـِ inf. n. بَلٌّ; (Msb;) and ↓ ابلّ; (M, K;) He (a man, M) went away in, or into, the land, or country. (M, Msb, K.) And بَلَّتْ نَاقَتُهُ His she-camel went away. (TA.) And بَلَّتْ مَطِيَّتُهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا, (Fr, T, TA,) and على ↓ ابلّت وجها, (K,) His camel, or riding-camel, ran away, or went away, at random, to pasture, straying; syn. هَمَتْ ضَالَّةً. (Fr, T, K, TA. [In the CK, همت, which, as is said in the TA, is without teshdeed, is written هَمَّتْ.]) A3: بَلِلْتُ مِنْهُ, (As, T, S, &c.,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (M,) I got him; got possession of him; (As, T, S, M, K;) got him in my hand. (S.) One says, لَئِنْ بَلَّتْ بِكَ يَدِى لَا تُفَارِقُنِى أَوْ تُؤَدِّىَ حَقِّى [Assuredly if my hand get hold of thee, thou shalt not quit me unless thou give up, or pay, my right, or due]. (S.) and hence the prov., مَا بَلَلْتُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ بِأَفْوَقَ نَاصِلٍ [I did not get, in such a one, a man like an arrow with a broken notch and without a head]; meaning I got a perfect man; one sufficient. (Sh, T.) b2: Also, (T,) or بَلِلْتُهُ, (M, K,) I kept, or clave, to him, (T, M, K,) namely, a man, (T, K,) and constantly associated with him. (T.) And بَلَّ بِالشَّيْءِ, inf. n. بَلٌّ, He became devoted, or attached, to the thing, and kept to it constantly. (TA.) b3: And بَلِلْتُ مِنْهُ, (M, K,) aor. ـَ (TA,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ and بَلَالَةٌ and بُلُولٌ, I was tried by him (مُنِيتُ بِهِ [app. meaning بِحُبِّهِ by love of him]), and loved him (عَلِقْتُهُ [in the CK عَلَقْتُهُ]); as also بَلَلْتُ به, (AA, M, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. بُلُولٌ (AA, TA.) And بَلِلْتُ بِهِ I was tried by him, as though by fire, (صَلِيتُ به, [in the CK صَلَيْتُ,]) and suffered distress, or misery, or fatigue (شَقِيتُ, for which شُفِيتُ is erroneously put in the copies of the K: TA). (M, K. *) b4: مَا بَلَلْتُ بِهِ, (K,) aor. ـَ inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (TA,) I did not light on, or meet with, or find, nor know, him, or it; expl. by مَا أَصَبْتُهُ وَ لَا عَلِمْتُهُ. (K.) A4: بَلَّ, (Th, M, K,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (Th, S, M, K,) He (a man) was, or became, such as is termed أَبَلّ [which epithet see below]. (Th, S, M, K.) 2 بَلَّّ see 1, first sentence.4 ابلّ It (wood, or a branch or twig,) had the sap, (المَآء, K,) or the produce of the rain, (O,) flowing in it. (O, K.) b2: See also بَلَّ, in four places.

A2: He (a man) resisted, or withstood, and overcame. (As, T, S. [See also أَبَلَ.]) And ابلّ عَلَيْهِ He overcame him. (M, K.)

[See مُبِلٌّ.]) A3: أَبْلَلْتُهُ I made him to go away.

(M, K.) b2: See also بَلَّ.10 إِسْتَبْلَ3َ see بَلَّ.

R. Q. 1 بَلْبَلَ, inf. n. بَلْبَلَةٌ and بِلْبَالٌ, (M, K,) the latter with kesr, (TA,) [but written in the CK with fet-h,] He put people in motion; and roused, or excited, them. (M, K.) b2: Also, (T,) inf. n. بَلْبَلَةٌ, (K,) He scattered, dispersed, or put asunder, his goods, commodities, or householdutensils and furniture. (IAar, T, K. * [In the CK, والمَتاعُ is erroneously put for وَالمَتَاعِ.]) b3: And He divided, or disunited, opinions. (Fr, T, K; but only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense is mentioned.) b4: And He (God) [mixed or confounded or] made discordant the tongues, or languages, of a people.

(Har p. 94.) b2: تَبَلْبَلَتِ الأَلْسُنُ The tongues, or languages, became mixed, or confounded. (S, K.) A2: تَبَلْبَلَتِ الإِبِلُ الكَلَأَ The camels went on seeking the herbage, or pasture, and left not of it aught. (S, K.) بَلْ is a particle of digression: (Mughnee, K:) or, accord. to Mbr, it denotes emendation, wherever it occurs, in the case of a negation or an affirmation: (T, TA:) or it is a word of emendation, and denoting digression from that which precedes; as also بَنْ, in which the ن is a substitute for the ل, because بل is of frequent occurrence, and بن is rare; or, as IJ says, the latter may be an independent dial. var. (M.) When it is followed by a proposition, the meaning of the digression is either the cancelling of what precedes, as in وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَانَهُ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُكْرَمُونَ [And they said, “The Compassionate hath gotten offspring: ” extolled be his freedom from that which is derogatory from his glory! nay, or nay rather, or nay but, they are honoured servants (Kur xxi. 26)], or transition from one object of discourse to another, as in قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى وَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا [He hath attained felicity who hath purified himself, and celebrated the name of his Lord, and prayed: but ye prefer the present life (Kur lxxxvii. 14-16)]: (Mughnee, K: *) and in all such cases it is an inceptive particle; not a conjunctive. (Mughnee.) When it is followed by a single word, it is a conjunction, (S, * Msb, * Mughnee, K,) and requires that word to be in the same case as the word before it: (S:) and if preceded by a command or an affirmation, (Mughnee, K,) as in اِضْرَبْ زَيْدًا بَلْ عَمْرًا [Beat thou Zeyd: no, 'Amr], (Msb, Mughnee, K,) and قَامَ زَيْدٌ بَلْ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd stood: no, 'Amr], (M, Mughnee, K,) or جَآءَنِى أَخُوكَ بَلْ أَبُوكَ [Thy brother came to me: no, thy father], (S,) it makes what precedes it to be as though nothing were said respecting it, (S, * Msb, * Mughnee, K,) making the command or affirmation to relate to what follows it: (S, * Msb, * Mughnee:) [and similar to these cases is the case in which it is preceded by an interrogation: see أَمْ as syn. with this particle:] but when it is preceded by a negation or a prohibition, it is used to confirm the meaning of what precedes it and to assign the contrary of that meaning to what follows it, (Mughnee, K,) as in مَا قَامَ زَيْدٌ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd stood not, but 'Amr stood], (Mughnee,) or مَا رَأَيْتُ زَيْدًا بَلْ عَمْرًا, [I saw not Zeyd, but I saw 'Amr], (S,) and لَا يَقُمْ زَيْدٌ بَلْ عَمْرٌو [Let not Zeyd stand, but let 'Amr stand]. (Mughnee.) Mbr and 'Abd-El-Wárith allow its being used to transfer the meaning of the negation and the prohibition to what follows it; so that, accord. to them, one may say, مَازَيْدٌ قَائِمًا بَلْ قَاعِدًا [as meaning Zeyd is not standing: no, is not sitting], and بَلْ قَاعِدٌ [but is sitting]; the meaning being different [in the two cases]. (Mughnee, K. *) The Koofees disallow its being used as a conjunction after anything but a negation [so in the Mughnee, but in the K a prohibition,] or the like thereof; so that one should not say, ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا بَلْ إِيَّاكَ [I beat Zeyd: no, thee]. (Mughnee, K.) Sometimes لَا is added before it, to corroborate the meaning of digression, after an affirmation, as in the saying, وَجْهُكَ البَدْرُ لَا بَلِ الشَّمْسُ لَوْ لَمْ يُقْضَ لِلشَّمْسِ كَسْفَةٌ وَ أُفُولُ [Thy face is the full moon: no, but it would be the sun, were it not that eclipse and setting are appointed to happen to the sun]: and to corroborate what precedes it, after a negation, as in وَ مَا هَجَرْتُكَ لَا بَلْ زَادَنِى شَغَفًا هَجْرٌ وَ بَعْدٌ تَرَاخَى لَا إِلَى أَجَلِ [And I did not abandon thee, or have not abandoned thee: no, but abandonment and distance, protracted, not to an appointed period, increased, or have increased, my heart-felt love]. (Mughnee, K. *) b2: Sometimes it is used to denote the passing from one subject to another without cancelling [what precedes it], and is syn. with وَ, as in the saying in the Kur [lxxxv. 20 and 21], وَاللّٰهُ مِنْ, وَ رَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ [And God from behind them is encompassing: and it is a glorious Kur-án: or here it may mean إِنَّ, as in an ex. below]: and to this meaning it is made to accord in the saying, لَهُ عَلَىَّ دِينَارٌ بَلْ دِرْهَمٌ [I owe him a deenár and a dirhem]. (Msb.) b3: In the fol-lowing saying in the Kur [xxxviii. 1],وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِى

الذِّكْرِبَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ, it is said to signify إِنَّ; [so that the meaning is, By the Kur-án possessed of eminence, verily they who have disbelieved are in a state of pride and opposition;] therefore the oath applies to it. (Akh, S.) b4: Sometimes the Arabs use it in breaking off a saying and commencing another; and thus a man commences with it a citation, or recitation, of verse; in which case, it does not form any part of the first verse, but is a sign of the breaking off, or ending, of what precedes. (Akh, S.) b5: Sometimes it is put in the place of رُبَّ, (S, Mughnee,) as in the saying of the rájiz, بَلْ مَهْمَهٍ قَطَعْتُ بَعْدَ مَهْمَهٍ

[Many a far-extending desert have I traversed, after a far-extending desert]. (S: [and a similar ex. is given in the Mughnee.]) b6: What is deficient in this word [supposing it to be originally of three letters] is unknown; and so in the cases of هَلْ and قَدْ: it may be a final و or ى or they may be originally بَلّ and هَلّ and قَدّ. (Akh, S.) بَلٌّ Moist, or containing moisture: or rather moistened; being, app., an inf. n. used in the sense of a pass. part. n. ; like خَلْقٌ in the sense of مَخْلُوقٌ. Hence,] رِيحٌ بَلَّةٌ and ↓بَلِيلٌ and ↓بَلِيلَةٌ A wind in which is moisture: (S:) or the last, a wind mixed with feeble rain: (T:) and the second, a wind cold with moisture; (M, K;) or the same, a wind cold with rain; (A, TA;) the north wind, as though it sprinkled water by reason of its coldness: (TA:) and ↓ بَلَلٌ also signifies a cold north wind: (Ibn-'Abbád, TA:) بَلِيلٌ is used alike as sing. and pl. : (K:) it has no pl. (M.) A2: بَلٌّ بِشَىْءٍ A man (M) devoted, or attached, to a thing, and keeping to it constantly. (M, K. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, اللَّهْجُ is erroneously put for اللَّهِجُ.]) b2: And بَلٌّ, alone, Much given to the deferring of payment to his creditors, by repeated promises; (T;) withholding, by swearing, what he possesses of things that are the rightful property of others. (IAar, T, K.) See also أَبَلٌّ, in two places.

بِلٌّ Allowable, or lawful; i. e., to be taken, or let alone, or done, or made use of, or possessed: (T, S, M, K:) so in the dial. of Himyer: (T, S. M:) or a remedy; (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K;) from the phrase بَلَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ [q. v.]: (A' Obeyd, T, S, M:) or it is an imitative sequent to حِلٌّ, (M, K,) as some say: (M:) so As thought until he heard that it was said to be of the dial. of Himyer in the first of the senses explained above: (S, M:) A'Obeyd and ISk say that it may not be so because it is conjoined with حِلٌّ by وَ: (T:) and A'Obeyd says, We have seldom found an imitative sequent conjoined by و. (TA.) Hence the phrase, هُوَ لَكَ حِلٌّ وَبِلٌّ It is to thee lawful and allowable: or lawful and a remedy.
