It is said in a trad., إِنَّ اللّٰهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الجِمَالَ Verily God is comely in deeds, (TA,) or an Abundant Bestower of good things: He loveth those who are of the like character. (Er-Rághib, TA.) And you say, عَامَلَهُ بَالجَمِيلِ [He treated him with comely, or pleasing, behaviour]. (TA.)

[or rather coll. gen. n.] of جُمْلَةٌ, a strand of a thick rope; or, accord. to IJ, pl. of جَمَلٌ [q. v.]: the first is explained by Fr as meaning ropes put together; but Aboo-Tálib thinks that he meant ↓ جُمَلٌ, without tesh-deed. (TA.) A2: حِسَابُ الجُمَّلِ, (S K,) thought by IDrd to be not Arabic, (TA,) and ↓ الجُمَلِ, (K,) but IDrd doubts its correctness, The calculation by means of the letters د ج ب ا, &c.

كفت [written without the syll. points] A certain herb. (See كَفُّ الكَلْبِ, in art. كلب.) كِفَاتٌ A place in which a thing is drawn together, or comprehended, (S, K,) and collected, or congregated. (K.) So in the words of the Kur [lxxvii. 25 and 26,] أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا

أَحْيَاءً وَأَمْوَاتًا [Have we not made the earth a place which comprehends the living and the dead? meaning كِفَاتَ أَحْيَاءٍ وَأَمْوَاتٍ:] (S:) EshShaabee, pointing to the houses of El-Koofeh, said, هٰذِهِ كِفَاتُ الأَحْيَاءش; and then, turning to its tombs, he said, هٰدهِ كِفَاتُ الأَمْوَاتِ; meaning to explain the above text of the Kur: but ISd thinks, that كفاتا in this text is an inf. n., and that احياء and امواتا are governed by it in the acc. case. (TA.) كَفِيتٌ: see كَفْتٌ. b2: One who contends with another in running, or in a race. (TA.) كَفِيتٌ, as used in the following trad., in which Mohammad says, حُبِّبِ إِلَىَّ النِّسَاءُ وَالطِّيبُ وَرُزِقْتُ الكَفِيتَ [Women and perfumes have been made objects of love, or pleasant, to me; and I have been supplied with, or have received, &c.], signifies Food by which the body is sustained; or, sufficient to sustain life: or what sustains life: (TA:) or that by which food necessary for the support of life is drawn, or collected, together, (K,) and properly prepared for use: (TA:) [or the means of acquiring subsistence, &c.:] or coition; [meaning power for coition;] so accord. to El-Hasan: or strength for coition: or certain food that was sent down to Mohammad from heaven, of which he ate, and whereby he received strength for coition: he is related to have said, that Gabriel came to him with a cooking-pot called الكَفِيتُ, from which he derived the strength of forty men in coition: but Sgh says, in the TS, that the descent of the cookingpot from heaven is not accepted as true by the authors on the traditions. (TA.) b3: See كِفْتٌ.

A2: كَفِيتٌ A traveller's provision-bag that does not lose [or suffer to escape] anything (K) of what is put into it: you say جِرَابٌ كفيتٌ: (TA:) as also ↓ كِفْتٌ. (K.) الكَفَّاتُ The lion. (TS, K.) مُكْفِتٌ One who wears two coats of mail with a garment between them: (K:) or who wears a long coat of mail, and draws together its skirt by means of hooks, or the like, to loops in its middle part, to disencumber himself of the lower part. (T.)
