(TA.) Yousay also, اللّٰهُ عَدُوَّكَ ↓ أَرْكَسَ May God overturn thine enemy upon his head: or change, or reverse, the state, or condition, of thine enemy. (A.)

(Mgh.) A2: [Golius says, as on the authority of the KL, that رَسَلَ signifies Nuncium misit: but what I find in the KL is, that رَسُولٌ, as an inf. n., signifies the bringing a message (پيغام بردن) : whence it seems that رَسَلَ means he brought a message.]2 تَرْسِيلٌ, in reading, or reciting, (Msb, K,) i. q. تَرْتِيلٌ; (K, TA;) i. e.

(A in art. برد.) and ارسل الكَلَامَ (assumed tropical:) He made the speech, or language, to be unrestricted. (Msb.) [In like manner,] إِرْسَالٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) The making a thing, such as property, and a legacy, absolute, or unrestricted.

الكَافِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّا, i. e. [We have made the devils to have dominion, &c., over the unbelievers, inciting them strongly to acts of disobedience; or] we have appointed, or prepared, the devils for the unbelievers, because of their unbelief; like as is said in the same [xliii. 35], نُقَيِّضْ لَهُ شَيْطَانًا [“ We will appoint, or prepare, for him a devil ” as an associate]: this is the preferred explanation: [or it may be well rendered we have sent the devils against the unbelievers:] some say that the meaning is, we have left the devils to do as they please with the unbelievers, not withholding them, or preserving them, from acceptance from them. (Zj, M.) A2: ارسلوا [from رِسْلٌ] They had milk in their cattle: (S:) or their milk became much; as also ↓ رسّلوا, inf. n. تَرْسِيلٌ: (K:) or the latter signifies their milk and drink became much. (TA.) b2: Also [from رَسَلٌ] They became possessors of herds or flocks.

(Msb and TA in art. الك.) 6 تراسلوا They sent, one to another, (MA, Msb, TA,) a message [or messages], (MA, Msb,) or a messenger [or messengers].

(TA in art. بهل) A2: Also He said, Send thou to me the camels in droves (أَرْسَالًا [in the CK, erroneously, اِرْسالًا]); (K, TA;) ارسالا being with fet-h to the hemzeh; i. e. drove after drove: for the camels, when they come to the water, are numerous; and their tender brings them to the watering-trough thus; not all together, as in this case they would press together upon the watering-trough and not satisfy their thirst. (TA.) رَسْلٌ Easy; applied to a pace. (M, K.) b2: Easy in pace; applied to a he-camel: fem. with ة: (S, M, K:) or soft, or gentle, in pace; applied to a he-camel and to a she-camel: (Msb:) and ↓ مِرْسَالٌ, also, applied to a she-camel, has the former of these significations; and its pl. is مَرَاسِيلُ: (S, K:) or this pl. signifies light, or active, she-camels, that give thee what they have to give spontaneously; and رَسْلَةٌ is applied to one thereof: a she-camel is termed ↓ مِرْسَالٌ as being likened to the arrow thus called.

(TA. [See also another meaning assigned to this phrase in what follows.]) b4: Applied to hair, i. q. ↓ مُسْتَرْسِلٌ; (S, K; in the CK مُرْسَل;) which means Lank; not crisp: (Mgh, Msb: [and so accord. to an explanation of استرسل in the S and K:]) or lank and pendent: (Msb:) or long, and lank or pendent. (Az, Az, Msb.) b5: And رَسْلَةٌ, (M,) or رَسْلَةُ القَوائِمِ, [of which see an explanation in what precedes,] (L, TA,) and ↓ مِرْسَالٌ, applied to a she-camel, (M, L, TA,) Having much hair, (M,) or much and long hair, (L, TA,) upon her shanks, or hind legs (فِى سَاقِيْهَا): (M, L, TA:) but in the K, رَسْلَةٌ and ↓ مُرَاسِلٌ [not مِرْسَالٌ] are explained as epithets applied to a woman, meaning having much and long hair upon her shanks. (TA.) b6: Also sing. of ↓ رِسَالٌ, (TA,) which signifies The legs of a camel: (Az, S, K, TA:) so called because of their length. (Az, TA.) A2: See also مُرَاسِلٌ.

A3: And see the paragraph here next following.

رِسْلٌ Gentleness; and a deliberate, or leisurely, manner of acting or behaving; as also ↓ رِسْلَةٌ; (M, K;) [and perhaps ↓ رَسْلٌ and ↓ رَسْلَةٌ; for] one says اِفْعَلْ كَذَا وَكَذَا عَلَى رِسْلِكَ (S, Mgh, * Msb, * CK * [but not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the copies used by SM]) and رَسْلِكَ and رَسْلَتِكَ, (CK, [but likewise wanting in MS. copies of the K,]) i. e. [Do thou such and such things] at thine ease; (Msb;) or act thou gently, deliberately, or leisurely, (S, Mgh, K, *) in doing such and such things; like as one says, عَلَى هِينَتِكَ. (S.) Sakhr-el-Ghei says, when despairing of his companions' overtaking him, his enemies surrounding him, and he feeling sure of slaughter, (M,) لَوْ أَنَّ حَوْلِى مِنْ قُرَيْمٍ رَجْلَا بِيضَ الوَجُوهِ يَحْمِلُونَ النَّبْلَا

لَمَنَعُونِى نَجْدَةً أَوْ رِسْلَا (Skr, M, *) i. e. [If there were around me, of the family of Kureym, men on foot, fair in the faces (app. meant tropically), bearing arrows, they would defend me] by violent means or by gentle means: (Skr:) or with fighting or without fighting. (M.) [See also a phrase cited from a trad. in what follows of this paragraph.] One says also, ↓ جَاؤُوا رِسْلَةً رِسْلَةً They came company by company. (M.) b2: And A soft, gentle, saying or speech. (TA.) A2: Also Milk, (S, M, K,) of whatever sort it be: (M, K:) or, accord. to the Towsheeh, fresh milk. (TA.) One says, كَثُرَ الرِّسْلُ العَامَ, meaning Milk has become abundant this year: and the people of the desert assert that, when this is the case, dates are few; and that, when dates are abundant, milk is scarce. (TA.) b2: It is said in a trad. [respecting the giving of the poor-rate], إِلَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى فِى نَجْدَتِهَا وَرِسْلِهَا, (S, TA,) which is explained in two different ways: (TA:) [J says that] it is from رِسْلٌ in the sense first explained above; meaning straitness and plenty; i. e. Except him who gives when they are fat and goodly, when it is difficult, or hard, to their owner to give them forth, and when they are lean, [or] in a middling condition: (S:) and A'Obeyd says the like; and that it is similar to the saying, قَالَ فُلَانٌ كَذَا عَمَّا رِسْلِهِ, meaning Such a one said such a thing holding it (the saying) in light estimation: others say that it is from رِسْلٌ signifying “ milk; ” which A'Obeyd disallows: IAth says that what is meant by نجدة is straitness and drought or barrenness or dearth; and by رسل, plenty, and abundance of herbage or the like; because رسل, i. e. milk, is plentiful only in the case of abundance of herbage; so that the meaning is, except him who gives forth the due of God in the case of straitness and in that of plenty. (TA.) A3: The رِسْلَانِ of a horse are The extremities of the عَضُدَانِ [or two arms]. (M, K. *) رَسَلٌ Camels: (M, K:) thus expl. by A'Obeyd, without any epithet: (M:) or a drove, or herd, or a distinct collection or number, of camels, (S, M, * Msb, K,) and of sheep or goats, (S, K,) accord. to ISk from ten to twenty-five, (TA,) or the رَسَل of the watering-trough is at least ten, and extending to twenty-five; and the word is masc. and fem.; (M;) and also (assumed tropical:) of horses or horsemen; (S;) applied to (tropical:) a company of men (Mgh, Msb) as being likened to a drove, or herd, of camels: (Msb:) and also a distinct collection or number of any things: (M, K:) pl. أَرْسَالٌ. (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K.) A rájiz says, يَا ذَائِدَيْهَا خَوِّصَا بِأَرْسَالْ وَلَا تَذُودَاهَا ذِيَادَ الضُّلَّالْ

[O ye two drivers of them, water some before others, by droves, and drive them not with the driving of those who err from the right way]: (S, TA:) i. e. bring near your camels some after some, and do not let them crowd upon the water-ing-trough. (TA.) And one says, جَآءَتِ الإِبِلُ رَسَلًا The camels came [in a drove, or] following one another. (IAmb, TA.) And جَآءَتِ الخَيْلُ أَرْسَالًا, i. e. (assumed tropical:) [The horses, or horsemen, came] in successive distinct companies. (S, TA.) And جَاءُوا أَرْسَالًا (tropical:) They (men) came in successive companies. (Msb. [And the like is said in the Mgh and in the TA.]) وَقِيرٌ كَثِيرُ الرَّسَلِ قَلِيلُ الرِّسْلِ, occurring in a trad. relating to a drought, is said by IKt to mean [A collection of sheep or goats] of which many were sent to the pasture, i. e. many in number, but having little milk but the more probable explanation of كثير الرسل is that of El-'Odhree, who says that it means much dispersed in search of pasture: for the trad. relates that the camels had died, notwithstanding their ability to endure drought: how then should the sheep or goats be safe, and increase so as to become numerous? (IAth, TA.) b2: Also Animals, or beasts, having milk. (M, TA.) رُسُلٌ A young girl, that has not worn the [muffler, or veil, called] خَمَار. (K.) A2: Also a pl. of رَسُولٌ. (S, M, &c.) رَسْلَةٌ A soft, or delicate condition of life: you say, هُمْ فِى رَسْلَةٍ مِنَ العَيْشِ They are in a soft, or delicate, condition of life. (M.) b2: and Heaviness, sluggishness, laziness, or indolence: (M, K:) you say رَجُلٌ فِيهِ رَسْلَةٌ A man in whom is heaviness, &c. (M.) b3: See also رِسْلٌ, first sentence.

رِسْلَةٌ: see رِسْلٌ, in two places.

رِسَالٌ: see رَسْلٌ (of which it is the pl.), near the end of the paragraph: A2: and see also مُرَاسِلٌ.

رَسُولٌ i. q. رِسَالَةٌ: (S, M, K:) see the latter, in five places. b2: Hence, as meaning ذُو رَسُولٍ, i. e. ذُو رِسَالَةٍ [One who has a message; i. e. a messenger]; (TA;) i. q. ↓ مُرْسَلٌ, (S, M, K,) meaning one sent with a message; (S;) of the measure فَعُولٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ [or rather مُفْعَلٌ]: (Msb:) [and often meaning an apostle of God; and with the article ال especially applied to Mohammad:] accord. to IAmb, its meaning in the proper language of the Arabs is one who carries on by consecutive progressions the relation of the tidings of him who has sent him; taken from the phrase جَآءَتِ الإِبِلُ رَسَلًا, meaning “ The camels came following one another: ” and the saying of the Muëdhdhin, أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللّٰه means I know [or acknowledge] and declare that Mohammad is the relater by consecutive progressions of the tidings from God: (TA:) [or, as commonly understood, I testify that Mohammad is the apostle of God:] a رَسُول is also called ↓ مِرْسَالٌ, as being likened to the arrow thus termed: (TA:) the pl. of رَسُولٌ is رُسُلٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and رُسْلٌ (S, Msb) and رُسَلَآءٌ, (M, K,) which last is from IAar, (M,) or Fr, (Sgh,) and أَرْسُلٌ, (M, K,) which [is a pl. of pauc., and] occurs in the saying of the Hudhalee, لَوْكَانَ فِى قَلْبِى كَقَدْرِ قُلَامَةٍ

حُبًا لِغَيْرِكِ قَدْ أَتَاهَا أَرْسُلِى

[Had there been in my heart as much as a nailparing of love for another than thee, my messengers (or, accord. to the TA, app., my messages) had come to her]: respecting which IJ says that he has given to رَسُولٌ this form of pl., which is [regularly] proper to feminines [of this class of words, consisting of four letter whereof the third is a letter of prolongation], such as أَتَانٌ and عَنَاقٌ and عُقَابٌ, because women are meant thereby, as they, generally, are the persons required to serve in cases of this kind: (M:) [for] رَسُولٌ is applied without variation to a male and a female, and to one [and to two] and to a pl. number; (S, M, Msb, K;) sometimes: (M:) i. e., it is allowable thus to apply it: (Msb:) hence, (S, K,) in the Kur [xxvi. 15], (S,) إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ [Verily we are the apostles of the Lord of the beings of the whole world]: (S, K:) MF says, in ch. xx. [verse 49], we find إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ [Verily we are the two apostles of thy Lord]; the dual form being here used: and Z says, in the Ksh, that in this instance it means the messengers, and therefore the dual form is necessarily used; but in ch. xxvi. it means the message, and therefore it is allowable to use it alike, when applying it as an epithet, as sing. and dual and pl.: Aboo-Is-hak the Grammarian says that the meaning here is, إِنَّا رِسَالَةٌ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ, i. e. ذَوُو رِسالَةِ [Verily we are those that have the message &c.]: (TA:) [but] رَسُولٌ [as meaning a messenger] is like عَدُوٌّ and صَديقٌ [&c.] in its being used alike as masc. and fem. and sing. [and dual] and pl.: (Sgh, TA:) Aboo-Dhu-eyb uses it in the sense of رُسُل in his saying, أَلِكْنِى إِلَيْهَا وَخَيْرُ الرَّسُو لِ أَعْلَمُهُمْ بِنَوَاحِى الخَبَرْ [Be thou my messenger to her: and the best of messengers is the most knowing of them in respect of the bounds, or limits, of the tidings]. (M.) See 4. The saying in the Kur [xxv. 39], وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ لَمَّ كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ أَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ [lit. And the people of Noah, when they charged with lying the apostles, we drowned them], Zj says, may mean that they charged with lying Noah alone; for he who charges with lying a prophet charges therewith all the prophets, since they believe in God and in all his apostles; or the general term may be here used as meaning one; like as when you say, أَنْتَ مِمَّنْ يُنْفِقُ الدَّرَاهِمَ, meaning “ Thou art of those who expend the kind of things termed دراهم. ” (M.) b3: One says also, السِّهَامُ رُسُلُ المَنَايَا (tropical:) [Arrows are the messengers of death, or of the decrees of death]. (TA.) b4: See also the next paragraph.

رَسِيلٌ Easy: occurring in the saying of Jubeyhà El-Asadee, وَقُمْتُ رَسِيلًا بِالَّذِى جَآءَ يَبْتَغِى

إِلَيْهِ بَلِيجَ الوَجْهِ لَسْتُ بِبَاسِرِ [And I undertook, or managed, with ease, that which he came seeking to obtain; bright in countenance to him: I was not frowning]. (TA.) A2: Also A stallion-camel (K, * TA) of the Arabian race, that is sent among the شَوْل [or she-camels that have passed seven or eight months since the period of their bringing forth] in order that he may leap them: one says, هٰذَا رَسِيلُ بَنِى فُلَانٍ

This is the stallion of the camels of the sons of such a one: and أَرْسَلَ بَنُو فُلَانٍ رَسِيلَهُمْ [The sons of such a one sent the stallion of their camels]: as though it were of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مُفْعَلٌ, from أَرْسَلَ. (TA.) b2: and accord. to some, A horse that is started with another in a race. (Har p. 544.) b3: [In the CK and in a MS. copy of the K, voce عَمُودٌ, it occurs as though meaning The scout, or emissary, or perhaps the advanced guard, of an army: but in other copies of the K, in this instance, accord. to the TA, and in the L, the word is رَئِيس.] b4: I. q. ↓ مُرَاسِلٌ [as meaning one who interchanges messages or letters with another: see 3]. (S, K.) b5: The person who stands with thee (المُوَاقِفُ لَكَ [in the K (in which this explanation is erroneously assigned to ↓ رَسُولٌ) المُوَافِقُ لَكَ in a competition in shooting and the like: (M:) [i. e.] رَسِيلُ الرَّجُلِ signifies he who stands with the man, (يَقِفُ مَعَهُ, Har p. 544,) or he who acts interchangeably, or alternates, with the man, (يُرَاسِلُهُ, S,) in a competition in shooting, or in some other performance.

And, as also ↓ مُرَاسِلٌ, One who relieves, or aids, another, in singing and in work, [by alternating with him, i. e.,] in the former case, by taking up the strain when the other is unable to continue it [so as to accomplish the cadence (see 6)], and in the latter case by taking up the work when the other is unable to continue it; or one who so relieves, or aids, another in singing with a high voice; i. q. مُتَالٍ: or one who aids another, [or relieves him, by alternating with him,] or who follows him, or imitates him, in his work. (IAar, Msb.) One says, هُوَ رَسِيلُهُ فِى الغِنَآءِ وَنَحْوِهِ [He is the person who relieves him, or aids him, by alternating with him, in singing and the like thereof]. (TA.) b6: See also رِسَالَةٌ, in two places.

A3: Also Wide, or ample. (K.) b2: A thing little in quantity, or incomplete: الشَّىْءُ اللَّطِيفُ in the copies of the K should be الشَّىْءُ الطَّفِيفُ, as in the Moheet (TA.) b3: and Sweet water. (K.) رَسَالَةٌ: see the next paragraph.

رِسَالَةٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ رَسَالَةٌ (M, K) and ↓ رَسُولٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ رَسِيلٌ (Th, M, K) signify the same, (S, M, Msb, K,) A message; and a letter; (MA in explanation of the first, and KL in explanation of the first and third;) [a communication sent from one person or party to another, oral or written;] substs. from أَرْسَلَ

إِلَيْهِ: (M, K: *) the pl. of the first is رَسَائِلُ; (Msb;) and أَرْسُلٌ is pl. of ↓ رَسُولٌ in the sense of رِسَالَةٌ, and of the fem. gender. (TA. [See the former of the two verses cited voce رَسُولٌ.]) Yousay, أَرْسَلْتُ فُلَانًا فِى رِسَالَةٍ: (S:) and أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ

↓ رَسُولًا: (MA:) see 4. A poet says, (S,) namely El-Ash'ar El-Joafee, (TA,) ↓ أَلَا أَبْلغْ أَبَا عَمْرٍو رَسُولًا بِأَنِّى عَنْ فُتَاحَتِكُمْ غَنِىُّ [Now deliver thou to Aboo-' Amr a message, saying that I am in no need of your judging]: (S:) or بَنِى عَمْرٍو [the sons of ' Amr]: he means, عَنْ حُكْمكُمْ. (TA.) And hence the saying of Kutheiyir, لَقَدْ كَذَبَ الوَاشُونَ مَا بُحْتُ عِنْدَهُمْ

↓ بِسِرٍّ وَلَا أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ بِرَسُولِ [Assuredly the slanderers have lied: I revealed not in their presence a secret, nor did I send them with a message]: (S, TA:) or, as some relate the second hemistich, (TA,) ↓ بِلَيْلَى وَلَا أَرْسَلْتُهُمْ بِرَسِيلِ [i. e. I revealed not the case of Leyla, nor did I send them with a message]: thus cited by Th. (M, TA.) b2: رِسَالَةٌ also signifies [A tract, or small treatise or discourse;] a مَجَلَّة [i. e. book, or writing, relating to science, or on any subject.] comprising a few questions, inquiries, or problems, of one kind: pl. رَسَائِلُ.

(TA.) رُسَيْلَاتٌ dim. of رسلات [i. e. رِسَلَاتٌ] pl. of رِسْلٌ [or rather of its syn. رِسْلَةٌ]: hence the saying, (TA,) أَلْقَى الكَلَامَ عَلَى رُسَيْلَاتِهِ, i. e. He held the saying, or speech, in light, or little, or mean, estimation; or in contempt. (M, K, TA.) الرَّاسِلَانِ The two shoulder-blades: or two veins therein: (M, K:) he who says that they are two veins in the two hands, (K,) pointing to what is found in the copies of the Mj of IF, [in which فِى الكَفَّيْنِ is put in the place of فى الكَتِفِيْنِ,] (TA,) is in error: (K:) or the وَابِلَتَانِ [q. v., a word variously explained]: (M, TA:) in the copies of the K, الرَّابِلَتَانِ is erroneously put for الوَابِلَتَانِ. (TA.) مُرْسَلٌ: see رَسُولٌ, second sentence. b2: Applied to a tradition (حَدِيثٌ), it means (assumed tropical:) Of which the ascription is not traced up so as to reach to its author: (Msb:) [i.e.] الأَحَادِيثُ المُرْسَلَةُ means the traditions which one relates as on the authority of a تَابِعِىّ, (K TA,) by tracing up the ascription thereof uninterruptedly to him, (TA,) when the تابعىّ says, “The Apostle of God (May God bless and save him) said,” without mentioning a صَحَابِىّ (K, TA) who heard it from the Apostle of God: (TA: [and the like is said in the Mgh:]) مَرَاسِيلُ is the [pl. or] quasi-pl. n. of مُرْسَلٌ thus used, [or rather used as a subst., or as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant,] like as مَنَاكِيرُ is of مُنْكَرٌ. (Mgh.) b3: In lexicology, it means, like مُنْقَطِعٌ, (assumed tropical:) That of which the series of transmitters is interrupted: as a word &c. handed down by IDrd as on the authority of Az [with whom he was not contemporary, without his mentioning the intermediate transmitters]: and such is not admitted [as unquestionable]; because exactness is a condition of the admission of what is transmitted, and the exactness of him who is not mentioned is not known. (Mz 4th نوع.) b4: مَجَازٌ مُرْسَلٌ: see art. جوز. b5: [See also the next paragraph.]

(TA.) مِرْسَالٌ One who sends the morsel [that he eats] into his fauces: or who throws forth the branch from his hand, (O, K,) when he goes in a place of trees, (O,) in order that he may hurt his companion.

(TA.) The subst. [app. meaning The state, or condition, of a woman such as is thus termed] is ↓ رِسَالٌ. (M, TA.) مُسْتَرْسِلٌ: see رَسْلٌ.

A2: مُسْتَرْسِلٌ لِلْمَوْتِ i. q. مُسْتَميتٌ and مُسْتَقْتلٌ [i. e. Seeking, or courting, death or slaughter; resigning, or subjecting, himself to death, and not caring for death]. (A and TA in art. موت.)

(TA.) Dhu-r-Rummeh says, إِذَا نَحْنُ رَفَّلْنَا امْرَأً سَادَ قَوْمَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ قَبْلِ ذٰلِكَ يُذْكَرُ (assumed tropical:) [When we magnify a man, or make a man a king, &c., he becomes lord, or chief, of his people, though he have been before that not mentioned].

(Lth, M, Msb, K.) It is used in this sense, (IKt, TA,) or [rather] is like بِئْسَ, (Bd, Jel,) in the Kur [xvii. 34], where it is said, سَآءَ سَبِيلًا [Evil, &c., is it as a way of acting]: (IKt, Bd, Jel, TA:) which is like the saying, سَآءَ هٰذَا مَذْهَبًا [Evil, &c., is this as a way of acting or believing, &c.]: the noun being in the accus. case as a specificative.

And أَرَدْتُ مَسَآءَتَكَ and مَسَائِيَتَكَ [I desired to displease, grieve, or vex, thee]. (Lth, TA.)

[In the TA, in the place of بَالُهُ is put ما له; as though meaning مَا لَهُ مِنَ الحَوَادِثِ or the like, i. e. its events, or accidents, &c.]) And لَهُ عِنْدِي مَا سَآءَهُ وَنَآءَهُ [I have, belonging to him, or I owe him, what grieved him, and oppressed him by its weight], and مَا يَسُوْؤُهُ وَيَنُوْؤُهُ [what does, or will, grieve him, &c.].

(Meyd, TA.) It is said that El-Mahboobee was possessed of riches; and when death visited him, he desired to make a testament; so it was said to him, “What wilt thou write? ” and he answered, “Write ye, 'Such a one,' meaning himself, 'has left what will grieve him, and oppress him by its weight:' ” i. e., property which his heirs will devour, while the burden thereof will remain upon him.

I said, May God remove the person (lit. the face) of such a one far from good, or prosperity, &c.]. (TA. [It is said in a copy of the M, that سُؤْتُ لَهُ وَجْهَهُ means قَبَّحْتُهُ: but I think that the right explanation is قَبَحْتُهُ, without tesh-deed, meaning I said to him, قَبَحَ اللّٰهُ وَجْهَكَ: see art. قبح.]) 2 سوّأ [He corrupted, or marred]. You say, سَوِّ وَلَا تُسَوِّئْ Rectify thou, and do not corrupt, or mar. (A, TA.) [See also 4.] b2: سوّأ عَلَيْهِ He said to him أَسَأْتُ [Thou hast done ill]. (M.)

[And see 2.]8 استآء He experienced evil, or that which he disliked or hated, (S, * K, TA,) or displeasure, (TA,) or grief, or anxiety. (M, TA.) اِسْتَآءَ لَهَا occurs in a trad. as meaning He (the Prophet) became displeased, or grieved, or anxious, on account of it; i. e., on account of a dream that had been related to him: or, accord. to one relation, the right reading is اِسْتَآلَهَا, meaning “ he sought the interpretation of it, by consideration. ” (TA.) سَوْءٌ is an inf. n. of سَآءَ, (Lth, S, M, K,) intrans., (Lth, M,) and trans.: (S, M, K:) and is also used as an epithet, applied to a man, (M, Msb, and Ham p. 712,) and to an action.

Yousay رَجُلُ سَوْءٍ (S, M, Msb, K) [A man of evil nature or doings; or] a man who does what is evil, displeasing, grievous, or vexatious: (M, TA:) and رَجُلُ السَّوْءِ [the man of evil nature or doings &c.]: (S, K:) and ذِئْبُ السَّوْءِ [the wolf of evil nature &c.], as in a verse cited voce أَحَالَ, in art. حول: (S:) and عَمَلُ سَوْءٍ [a deed of evil nature]: (M, Msb:) and عَمَلُ السَّوْءِ [the deed of evil nature]: (Ham p. 498:) and نَعْتُ سَوْءٍ [an epithet of evil nature]: (O and K in art. سحق:) and سَعْفُ سَوْءٍ a bad commodity: (O and TA in art. سعف:) and if you make the former word determinate [by means of the article ال], you use the latter as an epithet [also], (M, * Msb, and Ham, p. 712, *) and you say الرَّجُلُ السَّوْءُ [the evil man, or the man who does what is evil &c.]: (Msb, and Ham p. 712:) and العَمَلُ السَّوْءُ [the evil deed]: (Msb:) [this last phrase I hold to be correct, regarding السَّوْءُ in this case as originally an inf. n. of the intrans. verb سَآءَ, and therefore capable of being used as an epithet applied to anything; though] IB says that السَّوْءُ used as an epithet is applied to a man but not to a deed: (TA:) [in what here follows from the S, denying the correctness of another phrase mentioned above on the authority of lexicologists of high repute, there is, in my opinion, an obvious mistranscription, twice occurring, السَّوْءُ for السُّوْءُ, which I suppose to have passed from an early copy of that work into most other copies thereof, for I find it alike in all to which I have had access:] Akh says, one should not say الرَّجُلُ السَّوْءُ, though one says الحَقُّ اليَقِينُ as well as حَقُّ اليَقِينِ; for السَّوْءُ is not the same as الرَّجُلُ, but اليَقِينُ is the same as الحَقُّ: he says, also, nor should one say, هٰذَا رَجُلُ السُّوْءِ with damm: (S:) [here the expres-sion “ with damm ” may perhaps be meant to refer to السوء in all of the three instances above; not in the last only:] IB says, [in remarking on this passage of the S, in which he appears to have read السُّوْء, with damm, in all of the three instances,] Akh allows one's saying رَجُلُ السَّوْءِ and رَجُلُ سَوْءٍ, with fet-h to the س in both; but not رَجُلُ السُّوْءِ, with damm to the س, because السُّوْءُ is a subst., meaning “ harm, injury, hurt, mischief, or damage,” and “ evilness of state or condition; ” and رَجُل is prefixed, as governing a gen. case, only to the inf. n.: and he adds that one says, هٰذَا الرَّجُلُ السَّوْءُ, not prefixing [the former noun to the latter, but using the latter as an epithet]. (TA.) b2: See also the next paragraph, in six places.

سُوْءٌ is the subst. from سَآءَهُ; (S, M, * K;) [so, app., accord. to the generality of the lexicologists;] or inf. n. (Ksh and Bd in ii. 46) of سَيِّئٌ, (Ksh ibid.,) or of سَآءَ, aor. ـُ (Bd ibid.,) or of سَآءَهُ [q. v.]; (TA;) signifying Evilness, badness, abominableness, foulness, or unseemliness; [and displeasingness, grievousness, or vexatiousness;] as, for instance, of natural disposition, and of doings: (Ksh ubi suprà:) vitious, immoral, unrighteous, sinful, or wicked, conduct: [hence, رَمَاهُ بِسُوْءٍ: see art. رمي:] anything disapproved, or disallowed; or regarded as evil, bad, abominable, foul, or unseemly: (S, TA:) [an evil action or event:] evilness of state or condition: harm, injury, hurt, mischief, or damage: (IB, TA:) anything that is mentioned as being سَيِّئ [i. e. evil, &c.]: (Lth, TA:) any evil, evil affection, cause of mischief or harm or injury, noxious or destructive thing, calamity, disease, or malady: (M, K, TA:) [pl. أَسْوَآءٌ, accord. to a general rule.] The saying مَا أُنْكِرُكَ مِنْ سُوْءٍ means I do not disacknowledge thee in consequence of سُوْء [i. e. evilness, &c.,] that I have seen in thee, but only in consequence of my little knowledge of thee. (S.) لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوْءَ وَالفَحْشَآءَ, in the Kur [xii. 24], is said by Zj to mean, [In order that we might turn away from him] unfaithfulness to his master, and adultery. (M, TA.) And سُوْءُ الحِسَابِ, in the Kur [xiii. 18, i. e. The evilness of the reckoning], is expl. by him as meaning a reckoning in which no good work will be accepted, and no evil work passed over; because infidelity will have made the former to be of no avail: or, as some say, it means a reckoning pursued to the utmost extent, in which no evil work will be passed over. (M, TA.) لَا خَيْرَ فِى قَوْلِ السُّوْءِ means There is no good in thy saying سُوْء [i. e. a thing that is evil; قول being here used in its original sense of an inf. n.]: but if you say ↓ السَّوْء, [you use قول in the sense of مَقُول, and] the meaning is, in evil speech. (TA as from the K, but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K.) سُوْءٌ accord. to one reading, and ↓ سَوْءٌ accord. to another, (K, TA, [but all that is given in this sentence as from the K is so given only on the authority of the TA, not being in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K]) the latter of which readings is the more common, (TA,) in the phrase دَائِرَةُ السّوء, (K, TA,) in the Kur [ix. 99 and xlviii. 6], (TA,) mean Defeat, and evil; (K, TA;) and trial, or affliction, and torment; (TA;) and perdition, and destruction, or corruption: (K, TA:) and in like manner in the saying, أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السّوءِ, (K, TA,) in the Kur [xxv. 42]: (TA:) or السُّوْء means harm, injury, hurt, mischief, or damage; and evilness of state or condition; [as expl. before;] and ↓ السَّوْء, corruption, or destruction, or perdition: (K, * TA:) or السُّوْء in the phrase دَائِرَةُ السُّوْءِ means defeat and evil; and the reading ↓ السَّوْء is from [i. e. syn. with] المَسَآءَة [as inf. n.]. (S. [See also دَائِرَةٌ, in art. دور.]) Accord. to Zj, in the saying in the Kur [xlviii. 6], ↓ الظَّانِّينَ بِاللّٰهِ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِ, (TA,) meaning ظَنَّ الأَمْرِ السَّوْءِ [i. e. Who opine, of God, the opining of the evil thing], (Bd,) it is allowable to read ظَنَّ السُّوْءِ; (T, TA;) and thus some read in this instance: (Jel:) but AM says, in the saying in the Kur [xlviii. 12], ↓ وَظَنَنْتُمْ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِ [And ye opined the evil opining], it is read only with fet-h, and damm to the س is not allowable in this instance, for there is in it no meaning of trial, or affliction, and torment: (TA:) [for this distinction, however, I see no reason; and it is not correct; for] السوء is with fet-h and with damm to the س in the three sentences [whereof this last is one] in which it occurs in this chapter. (Jel.) b2: In the Kur vii. 188, it is said to mean (assumed tropical:) Diabolical possession; or insanity, or madness. (M, TA.) b3: (tropical:) Leprosy, syn. بَرَصٌ, (Lth, S, M, K, TA,) is said to be its meaning in the Kur xx. 23 and xxvii. 12 and xxviii. 32. (S, TA.) b4: (assumed tropical:) The fire: so in the Kur xxx. 9, accord. to the reading السُّوْءَ: (K, TA:) said to mean there Hell: but the reading commonly known is ↓ السُّوْءَى. (TA.) b5: And (assumed tropical:) Weakness in the eye. (K. [Thus, i. e. with damm to the س, in the CK and TK: in the TA said to be بالفتح; but this is evidently a mistake for بالضمّ.]) سَىْءٌ: see سَيِّئٌ.

سَوْءَةٌ The عَوْرَة [or pudendum], (S, Mgh, Msb,) i. e. (Msb) the فَرْج [which means the same, or the external portion of the organs of generation], (Lth, M, IAth, Msb, K,) of a man, and of a woman: (Lth, Msb, TA:) and the anus: (Az and TA in art. سوى:) dual سَوْءَتَانِ: and pl. سَوْآتٌ: so called because its becoming exposed to men displease [or shames] the owner thereof; (Msb;) or because of its unseemliness. (Ham p. 510.) In the Kur vii. 19, for سَوْآتِهِمَا, some read سَوَاتِهِمَا; and some, سَوَّاتِهِمَا. (Bd.) b2: In the Kur v. 34, it means The dead body, or corpse; (Bd, Jel;) because it is deemed unseemly to be seen. (Bd.) b3: Accord. to IAth, the former is the primary signification: and hence it is transferred to denote Any saying, or action, of which one is ashamed when it appears: (TA:) any evil, bad, abominable, foul, or unseemly, saying or action; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓ سَوْآءُ: (M:) any disgracing action or thing: (Lth, TA:) an evil, abominable, or unseemly, property, quality, custom, or practics; (K, TA;) as also ↓ سَوْآءُ, or ↓ سَوْءَى; (accord. to different copies of the K; [the latter perhaps fem. of ↓ أَسْوَأُ like the former, of the same class as دَفْأَى and دَنْأَى, or fem. of ↓ سَوْآنُ, like عَطْشَى fem. of عَطْشَانُ;]) or so both of these; (TA;) or so ↓ سَوْءَةٌ سَوْآءُ: (S:) [or this last means a property, &c., that is very evil &c.] One says, سَوْءَةً لِفُلَانٍ May a disgracing action or thing befall such a one; [or disgrace, or shame, to such a one;] using the accus. case because it is an expression of reviling and imprecation. (Lth, TA.) [See also سَيِّئَةٌ and سُوْءَى.] b4: ↓ السَّوْءَةُ السَّوْءَى [or ↓ السَّوْءَةُ السَّوْآءُ] also means The contrarious wife or woman. (TA.) سَايَةٌ as used in the saying ضَرَبَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى فُلَانٍ

سَايَةً is held by some to be originally with ء, and of the measure فَعْلَةٌ, from السَّوْءُ; so that the saying means Such a one did to such a one a thing that caused displeasure to him; and did evil to him: others hold that the saying means such a one made a way to do what he desired to such a one; in which case, ساية is of the measure فَعْلَةٌ from سَوَّيْتُ; originally سَوْيَةٌ, which is changed into سَيَّةٌ, and then into سَايَةٌ, in like manner as دِوَّانٌ is changed into دِيوَانٌ. (Aboo-Bekr, TA.) [See the same word in art. سوى.]

سَوْءَى: see سَوْءَةٌ, in two places.

سُوْءَى is [fem. of ↓ أَسْوَأُ, q. v., as meaning More, and most, evil, bad, abominable, foul, unseemly, unsightly, or ugly: and is also] a subst. signifying an evil, a bad, an abominable, a foul, or an unseemly, action; (Msb, TA;) i. q. فَعْلَةٌ سَيِّئَةٌ [and سَيِّئَةٌ alone]: in this sense, [as well as in the former,] (TA,) contr. of حُسْنَى. (S, M, K, TA.) b2: In the Kur xxx. 9, (S, TA,) accord. to the reading commonly known, (TA,) [as contr. of الحُسْنَى,] السُّوْءَى means (assumed tropical:) The fire (S, K, TA) of Hell. (TA.) See also سُوْءٌ, last explanation but one.

سَوْآءُ: see أَسْوَأُ (of which it is said by some to be fem.) in two places: b2: and see also سَوْءَةٌ, in four places.

خَزْيَانُ سَوْآنُ is [app. an instance of the alteration of the latter of two epithets to assimilate it to the former, originally خَزْيَانُ أَسْوَأُ, meaning Ashamed, or base, or vile, or ignominious, and evil, bad, &c.,] from القُبْحُ. (M, TA.) b2: See also سَوْءَةٌ.

وَلَا يَجْزُونَ مِنْ غِلَظٍ بِلِينِ [And they will not requite good with evil, nor will they requite roughness with gentleness]. (S.) You say قَوْلٌ سَيِّئٌ [An evil saying; or] a saying that displeases. (M, TA.) And فَعْلَةٌ سَيِّئَةٌ [An evil action or deed]. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur [xxxv. 41], وَمَكْرَ السَّيِّئِ وَلَا يَحِيقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّئٌ

إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِ [And in the plotting of that which is evil; but the evil plotting shall not beset any save the authors thereof]. (M, TA.) One says also, فُلَانٌ سَيِّئُ الاِخْتِيَارِ [Such a one is evil in respect of choice, or preference]. (S.) [See also the next paragraph.]

سَيِّئَةٌ [fem. of سَيِّئٌ, q. v.: and also a subst., being transferred from the category of epithets to that of substs. by the affix ة], originally سَيْوِئَةٌ, (S,) An evil act or action; contr. of حَسَنَةٌ; (Msb;) a fault, an offence, or an act of disobedience; or such as is intentional; a sin, a crime, or an act of disobedience for which one deserves punishment; syn. خَطِيْئَةٌ: (M, K:) pl. سَيِّئَاتٌ. (TA.) It is said in a trad., الحَسَنَةُ بَيْنَ السَّيِّئَتَيْنِ [The good act is between the two evil acts]; meaning that the exceeding of the just bounds is a سَيِّئَة, and the falling short thereof is a سَيِّئَة, and the pursuing a middle course between these two is a حَسَنَة. (TA.) [See also سَوْءَةٌ and سُوْءَى.] b2: Also; tropically, (tropical:) The recompense of a سَيِّئَة properly so termed [i. e. as expl. above]. (Msb in art. مكر.) b3: An evil, or evil accident; a calamity; a misfortune; (Ksh in iv. 81;) a trial, or an affliction; opposed to حَسَنَةٌ; (Ksh and Bd in iv. 80;) scarcity of herbage, or of the goods, conveniences, and comforts, of life; straitness of circumstances; and unsuccessfulness; thus [likewise] opposed to حَسَنَةٌ in the Kur iv. 80. (Er- Rághib, TA in art. حسن.) أَسْوَأُ; fem. سُوْءَى: see the latter word. One says, هُوَ أَسْوَأُ القَوْمِ He is the most evil, &c., of the people, or party; syn. أَقْبَحُهُمْ: and هِىَ السُّوْءَى

She is the most evil, &c. (Msb.) And the [common] people say أَسْوَأُ الأَحْوَالِ, meaning The [worst, or] most scanty, and weakest, of states or conditions. (Msb.)

أَفَعَلُ. (M, TA.) See also سَوْءَةٌ, in four places. It is said in a trad.

(M, TA.) مَسَآءَةٌ an inf. n. of سَآءَهُ: (S, M, K:) and [also a subst. signifying An evil, as being] a cause of grief or vexation; contr. of مَسَرَّةٌ: originally مَسْوَأَةٌ: and therefore the pl. is ↓ مَسَاوٍ, for مَسَاوِئُ; (Msb;) signifying also vices, faults, defects, or imperfections; (S, Msb, K, TA;) and diseases; (S, TA;) and acts of disobedience: (Msb:) so in the saying, بَدَتْ مَسَاوِيهِ His acts of disobedience, and vices, faults, &c., appeared: (Msb:) and الخَيْلُ تَجْرِى عَلَى مَسَاوِيهَا Horses run, notwithstanding their vices, or faults, &c., (S, Meyd, K,) and diseases; (S, Meyd;) for their generousness impels them to do so: (S, Meyd, K: but omitted in the CK:) and in like manner, the ingenuous generous man bears difficulties, and defends, or protects, what he is bound to defend or protect, or to regard as sacred, or inviolable, though he be weak, and practises generosity in all circumstances: (Meyd, TA:) or it is applied in relation to the protection and defence of what should be sacred, or inviolable, or of wives, or women under covert, and the members of one's household, notwithstanding harm, or injury, and fear: or it means that one may seek to defend himself by means of a man though there be in him qualities disapproved: (MF, TA:) but accord. to Lh, المَسَاوِى has no proper sing., like المَحَاسِنُ: (Meyd, TA: *) accord. to some of the writers on inflection, it is the contr. of المَحَاسِنُ, and an anomalous pl. of السُّوْءُ, being originally with ء. (TA.) مَسَاوٍ: see the next preceding paragraph.

[So in the TA, doubtless a mistranscription. In the CK, السّنَطُ is erroneously put for السَّنْطُ.]

(of سَنُوطٌ accord. to some copies of the K and the TA) is سُنُطٌ (IAar, K) and أَسْنَاطٌ [which is a pl. of pauc.]: (K:) سناط is used as a sing. and pl. epithet: it is used as a pl. by Dhu-r-Rummeh. (IB, TA.) سَنُوطٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

A2: Also A well-known medicine. (K.) سَنُوطِىٌّ: see سِنَاطٌ.

By itself; (Msb;) and استمع [also] in sys. With سَمِعَ [ as trans. by itself]: (Ham p. 694, where occurs a usage of its act. part. n. showing the verb to be trans. by itself:) or ↓ استمع denotes what is intentional, signifying only he gave ear, hearkened, or listened: but سَمِعَ, [as also ↓ تمسمّع and ↓ استسمع,] what is unintentional, as well as what is intentional. (Msb.) You say, سَمِعَ الشَّىْءَ [He heard or listened to, the thing] (S.) And الصَّوْتَ ↓ تسمّع [He listened to, or heard, the sound]. (TA.) [and سَمِعْتُ لَهُ صَوْتًا I heard him, or it, utter, or produce, a sound; lit. I heard a sound attributable to him, or it. And سَمِعَهُ مِنْهُ He heard it form him. And سَمِعَهُ عَنْهُ He heard it as related from him; he heard it on his authority. And سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ كَذَا He heard him say such a thing.] and سَمِعَ بِهِ [He heard of it; for سَمِعَ التَّكَلُّمَ بِهِ, or the like]. (Kur xii. 31 and xxviii. 36 and xxxviii. 6, S, K, TA.) [When trans. by means of لِ alone, or إِلَى, it denotes what is intentional.] You say, سَمِعْتُ لَهُ, (S, Msb, TA,) and إِلَيْهِ, (S, TA,) meaning I gave ear, hearkened, or listened, to him, or it; (S, Msb, * TA;) and له ↓ تسمّعت (Msb,) or اليه, and اِسَّمَّعْتُ, (S, TA,) signify the same; (S, Msb, TA;) and so له ↓ استمعت, (S, Msb, K,) and اليه. (K.) It is said in the Kur [xxxvii. 8], accord. to different readings, لَا يَسْمَعُونَ إِلَى المَلَإِ الأَعْلَى, and ↓ لَا يَسَّمَّعُونَ, They shall not listen [to the archangels]: (S:) or the former has this signification, they shall not listen to the angels (Bd, Jel) in heaven, (Jel,) or the exalted angels: (Bd:) and ↓ the latter, they shall not seek, or endeavour, to listen &c. (Bd.) and in the same [xvii. 50], ↓ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَسْتَمِعُونَ بِهِ إِذْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ [We are cognizant of that on account of which they hearken when they hearken to thee]; به meaning بِسَبَبِهِ, (Bd, Jel,) and لِأَجْلِهِ, (Bd,) alluding to scoffing, or derision. (Bd, Jel.) [For various usages of سَمْعٌ and other inf. ns., whether employed as inf. ns. or as simple substs., see those words below.] b2: It also signifies He understood it; (TA;) he understood its meaning; i. e., the meaning of a person's speech. (Msb.) You say, لَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ Thou didst not understand what I said to thee. (TA.) and such is the most obvious meaning of the verb in the saying, إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ الخَطِيبَ [If he understand the words of the preacher]; for this is the proper meaning in this case: but it may be rendered tropically, (tropical:) if he hear the voice of the preacher. (Msb.) b3: Also He knew it: as in the saying, سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ قَوْلَكَ [God knew thy saying]. (Msb.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) He accepted it; namely, evidence, and praise: or, said of the latter, (assumed tropical:) he recompensed it by acceptance: (Msb:) (tropical:) he paid regard to it, and answered it; namely, prayer: (tropical:) he answered, or assented to, or complied with, it; namely, a person's speech. (TA.) The saying سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ means May God accept the praise of him who praiseth Him: or, accord. to IAmb, may God recompense by acceptance the praise of him who praiseth Him: (Msb:) or may God answer the prayer of him who praiseth Him. (TA, as on the authority of IAmb.) b5: Also (assumed tropical:) He obeyed him: as in the saying in the Kur [xxxvi. 24], إِنِّى آمَنْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُونِ (assumed tropical:) [Verily I believe in your Lord, and do ye obey me]. (TA.) b6: Lth says that the phrase سَمِعَتْ أُذُنِى

زَيْدًا يَفْعَلُ كَذَا وَكَذَا means (assumed tropical:) My eye saw Zeyd doing such and such things: but Az says, I know not whence Lth brought this; for it is not of the way of the Arabs to say سمعت اذنى as meaning my eye saw: it is in my judgment corrupt language, and I am not sure but that it may have been originated by those addicted to innovations and erroneous opinions. (TA.) 2 تَسْمِيعٌ [inf. n of سمّع, as also تَسْمِعَةٌ, q. v. infrà, voce سُمْعَةٌ,] is syn. with ↓ إِسْمَاعٌ [The making one to hear]. (K.) You say, سمّعهُ الصَّوْتَ and ↓ اسمعهُ [He made him to hear the sound]. (S.) And سمّعهُ الحَدِيثَ (TA) and ↓ اسمعهُ (S, TA) [He made him to hear the narra-tive]; both signifying the same. (TA.) [and سمّع بِهِ He made to hear of it, or him.] It is said in a trad., مَنْ سَمَّعَ النَّاسَ بِعَمَلِهِ سَمَّعَ اللّٰهُ بِهِ

أَسَامِعَ خَلْقِهِ وَحَقَّرَهُ وَصَغَّرَهُ (S, * Mgh, TA) [Whoso maketh men to hear of his deed,] God will make the ears of his creatures to hear of him on the day of resurrection; (TA;) or whoso maketh his deed notorious, that men may see it and hear of it, God will make notorious his hypocrisy, and fill with it the ears of his creatures, and they shall be generally acquainted with it, [and He will render him contemptible, and small in estimation,] so that he will become disgraced; (Mgh;) or the meaning may be, God will manifest to men his internal state, and fill their ears with the evilness of his secret intentions, in requital of his deed: or, as some relate it, [for أَسَامِعَ خَلْقِهِ] we should say, سَامِعُ خَلْقِهِ, which is an epithet applied to God; so that the meaning is, Go [the Hearer of his creatures] will disgrace him: (TA:) [for]

b2: سمّع به, (S, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. تَسْمِيعٌ, (S, Mgh, K,) signifies [also] He rendered him, or it, notorious, and infamous: (S, Mgh, K: *) or he spread it abroad, for men to speak of it. (Msb.) b3: Also He raised him from obscurity to fame. (S, K. *) b4: And He made him to hear what was bad, evil, abominable, or foul, and he reviled him: (Az, T and L in art. ند:) and ↓ اسمعهُ [also] has the latter of these two significations. (S, K.) 4 اسمعهُ, inf. n. إِسْمَاعٌ: see 2, in four places. b2: He told him [a thing]. (Msb) b3: He made him to understand: the verb being used in this sense in the Kur [viii. 23], لَوْعَلِمَ اللّٰهُ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا لَأَسْمَعَهُمْ [Had God known any good in them, He had made them to understand]. (TA.) b4: أَسْمَعَكَ اللّٰهُ May God not make thee to be deaf. (TA.) b5: أَسْمَعَتْ She sang. (TA.) One says to a female singer, أَسْمِعِينَا Sing thou to us: thus used in a verse of Tarafeh. (TA.) b6: أَسْمَعْتَ Thou hast said a saying that ought to be heard and followed. (Har p. 398.) A2: اسمع الدَّلْوَ (tropical:) He made, or put, a مِسْمَع [q. v.] to the bucket. (S, K, TA.) And in like manner, اسمع الزِّنْبِيلَ (K) (tropical:) He made, or put, what are termed مِسْمَعَانِ to the basket. (TA.) A3: أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ; and أَبْصِرْ بِهِ وَأَسْمِعْ; see art. بصر.5 تَسَمَّعَ, also written and pronounced اِسَّمَّعَ: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in six places.6 تسامع بِهِ النَّاسُ (S, K) The people heard of it, [or him,] one from another: (PS, TK:) [or the people heard one another talk of it, or him:] or it, or he, became notorious among the people. (TA.) b2: تسامع also signifies He feigned himself hearing. (KL.) 8 إِسْتَمَعَ see 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in four places.10 إِسْتَسْمَعَ see 1, in the first sentence, in two places.

سَمْعٌ inf. n. of سَمِعَ, (S, Msb, K,) like ↓ سَمَاعٌ, (S, K,) [&c.,] or the latter is a simple subst. [used in the abstract sense of the former]. (Msb.) Yousay, سَمْعًا وَطَاعَةً, [for أَسْمَعُ سَمْعًا وَأُطِيعُ طَاعَةً, an emphatic mode of expression, meaning I hear and I obey, or for سَمِعْتُ سَمْعًا وَأَطَعْتُ طَاعَةً, which means the same, but more emphatically; طَاعَةً

being a quasi-inf. n. for إِطَاعَةً;] the verb [of each] being understood: and سَمْعٌ وَطَاعَةٌ, meaning أَمْرِى ذٰلِكَ [i. e. أَمْرِى سَمْعٌ وَطَاعَةٌ My affair is hearing and obeying]. (K.) You say also, [in like manner,] اَللّٰهُمَّ سَمْعًا لَا بَلْغًا, (K,) and سَمْعٌ لَا بَلْغٌ: (TA:) see سِمْعٌ. And سَمْعُ أُذُنِى فُلَانًا يَقُولَ ذٰلِكَ, (K,) [said to be] the only instance of the kind among inf. ns. of trans. verbs except رَأْىُ عَيْنِى, (TA in art. رأى,) [in a copy of the M, in art. رأى, written سَمْعَ اذنى and رَأْىَ عينى,] and اذنى ↓ سِمْعُ, and اذنى ↓ سَمْعَةُ, and اذنى ↓ سِمْعَةُ [My ear heard (lit. my ear's hearing) such a one say that]. (K) b2: [As a simple subst., it signifies] The sense of the ear; (K;) [i. e., of hearing;] the faculty in the ear whereby it perceives sounds. (TA.) Thus in the Kur [1. 36], أَوْ أَلْقَى

السَّمْعُ, (TA,) meaning, Or who hearkeneth. (Bd, Jel.) [And hence,] أُمُّ السَّمْعِ The brain; (Z, O, K;) as also ↓ أُمُّ السَّمِيعِ. (O, K.) One says, ضَرَبَهُ عَلَى أُمِّ السَّمْعِ [He struck him upon the brain]. (TA.) b3: [It is also used for the inf. n. of أَسْمَعَ. Hence] one says, قَالُوا ذٰلِكَ سَمْعَ أُذُنِى, and in like manner, اذنى ↓ سِمْعَ, and اذنى ↓ سَمَاعَ, and اذنى ↓ سَمَاعَةَ, i. e. إِسْمَاعَهَا [They said that making my ear to hear]: (K:) and one may say, سَمْعًا [making to hear]: this latter one says when he does not particularize himself. (Sb, K.) and ↓ كَلَّمَهُ سِمْعَهُمْ, with kesr, meaning, [He spoke to him making them to hear, or] so that they heard. (TA.) And a poet says, اللّٰهِ وَالعُلَمَآءِ أَنِّى ↓ سَمَاعَ

أَعُوذُ بِخَيْرِ خَالِكَ يَاابْنَ عَمْرِو [Making God and the learned men to hear that I seek protection by the goodness of thy maternal uncle, O son of 'Amr; or أَعُوذُ بِحَقْوِ خَالِكَ, i. e. I have recourse for protection to thy maternal uncle; thus in the TA in art. حقو;] using the subst. in the place of the inf. n., as though he said إِسْمَاعًا عَنِّى. (TA.) One says also, أَخَذْتُ ذٰلِكَ عَنْهُ سَمْعًا, and in like manner, ↓ سَمَاعًا, [i. e. I received that from him by being made to hear, which virtually means, by hearsay, or hearing it from him,] making the inf. n. [in each case] to be of a different form from that of the verb to which it belongs [in respect of signification; i. e., using an inf. n. of سَمِعَ for that of أَسْمَعَ]. (K, * TA.) [See also سُمْعَةٌ.] b4: It also signifies The ear; (S, * Mgh, Msb, * K;) as also ↓ مِسْمَعٌ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) because it is the instrument of hearing, (TA,) and ↓ مَسْمَعٌ, [because it is the place thereof,] (Aboo-Jebeleh, TA,) and ↓ سَامِعَةٌ; (S, K;) or ↓ مِسْمَعٌ signifies the ear-hole; (TA;) and so ↓ مَسْمَعٌ, and ↓ مُسْتَمَعٌ: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and سَمْعٌ is also used as a pl., (S, K,) being originally an inf. n.; but sometimes (S) it has for its pl. أَسْمَاعٌ (S, Msb, K) and أَسْمُعٌ, (Mgh, O, K,) a pl. of pauc., (TA,) [as is also the former,] and أَسَامِعُ is a pl. pl., (S, Mgh, O, K,) i. e. pl. of أَسْمَاعٌ, (S,) or of أَسْمُعٌ: (Mgh, O:) [for an ex. of the pl. pl., see 2:] the pl. of ↓ مِسْمَعٌ is مَسَامِعُ; (Msb, K;) or this may be an irreg. pl. of سَمْعٌ, like as مَشَابِهُ is of شَبَهٌ. (Sgh, TA.) You say, سَمْعُكَ إِلَىَّ i. e. [Incline thine ear to me; or] hear thou from me. (S, K.) And طَرَقَ الكَلَامُ السَّمْعُ [The speech struck the ear]. (Msb.) سَمْعٌ is used as a pl. in the Kur [ii. 6], where it is said, خَتَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَى سَمِعْهِمْ [God hath set a seal upon their hearts and upon their ears]. (S.) One also says, ↓ فُلَانٌ عَظِيمُ المِسْمَعَيْنِ Such a one is great in the ears. (S.) The phrase هُوَ بَيْنَ سَمْعِ الأَرْضِ وَبَصَرِهَا means (assumed tropical:) It is not known whither he has repaired: (Az, K:) or he is between the ears of the people of the land and their eyes, [so that they neither hear him nor see him,] the prefixed noun أَهْل being suppressed: (AO, K, * TA:) or (assumed tropical:) in a void land, wherein is no one; (ISk, K;) i. e., none hears his speech, nor does any see him, except [the wild animals of] the desert land: (K:) or (tropical:) between the length and breadth of the land.

You say also, أَلْقَى نَفْسَهُ بَيْنَ سَمْعِ الأَرْضِ وَبَصَرِهَا (assumed tropical:) He exposed himself to perdition, or imperilled himself, and cast himself no one knew where: (IAar, Th:) or (assumed tropical:) he cast himself where no voice of man was heard, nor eye of man seen. (K, * TA.) b5: Also What rests in the ear, of a thing which one hears. (L, K.) b6: See also سِمْعٌ, in three places, beside the two places before referred to.

سِمْعٌ i. q. سَمْعٌ, either as an inf. n. or as a a simple subst. (Lh, K.) You say, اَللّٰهُمَّ سِمْعًا لَا بِلْغًا, (S, K,) and لَا بَلْغًا ↓ سَمْعًا, (K,) and سِمْعٌ لَا بِلْغٌ, and لَا بَلْغٌ ↓ سَمْعٌ, (TA,) a form of prayer, (K,) meaning O God, may it be heard of but not fulfilled: (S, K:) or may it be heard but not come to: or may it be heard but not need to be come to: or it is said by him who hears tidings not pleasing to him: (K:) Ks says that it means I hear of calamities but may they not come to me. (TA.) You say also, سِمْعُ أُذُنِى فُلَانًا يَقُولُ ذٰلِكَ: see سَمْعٌ. b2: Also i. q. إِسْمَاعٌ: so in the phrase قَالُوا ذٰلِكَ سِمْعَ أُذُنِى: (K:) and in the phrase كَلَّمَهُ سِمْعَهُمْ: (TA:) both explained above: see سَمْعٌ. b3: Also Mention, fame, report, that is heard; as also ↓ سَمْعٌ, and ↓ سَمَاعٌ: (K:) fame, or good report; (S, Msb, K, TA;) and so ↓ سَمْعٌ and ↓ سَمَاعٌ. (TA.) You say, ذَهَبَ سِمْعُهُ فِى النَّاسِ His fame, or good report, went among mankind. (S.) And the Arabs say, اللّٰهِ ↓ لَا وَسَمْعِ [or وَسِمْعِ اللّٰه,] meaning لَا وَ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ [No, by the glory of God]. (TA.) b4: [It is also used as an epithet: thus,] رَجُلٌ سِمْعٌ means يُسَمِّعُ [A man who makes others to hear of him]: or one says, هٰذَا امْرُؤٌ ذُو سِمْعٍ, and ↓ ذُوسَمَاعٍ, [This is a man of fame, or notoriety], (K,) whether good or bad. (Lh, TA.) A2: Also A certain mongrel beast of prey, (S,) the offspring of the wolf, begotten from the hyena: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) fem. with ة: they assert that it does not die a natural death, like the serpent, (K, TA,) but by some accident that befalls it, not knowing diseases and maladies; and that it is unequalled by any other animal in running, (TA,) its running being quicker than [the flight of] the bird; and its leap exceeding thirty cubits, (K, TA,) or twenty. (TA.) It is said in a prov., مِنَ السِّمْعِ الأَزَلِّ ↓ أَسْمَعُ [More quick of hearing than the سمع that is lean in the buttocks and thighs; or than the light, or active, سمع]: and sometimes they said أَسْمَعُ مِنْ سِمْعٍ

سُمْعُنَّةٌ نُظْرُنَّةٌ, and سِمْعَنَّةٌ نِظْرَنَّةٌ, (S, K,) the former accord. to Az, the latter accord. to ElAh, (S,) and سِمْعِنَّةٌ نِظْرِنَّةٌ, (K,) or the second and third are without teshdeed, and mentioned by Yaakoob also, (TA in art. نظر, [but this, I think, is a mistake,]) applied to a woman, Who listens, or hearkens, and endeavours to see, and, not seeing nor hearing anything, thinks it, or opines it: (S, * K, * [the latter in art. نظر,] and TA:) and one also applies to her the epithet سِمْعَنَةٌ, meaning who listens, or hearkens, and does so much, or habitually. (K.) سَمَعْمَعٌ (of the measure فَعَلْعَلٌ, S) Small in the head, (S, K,) and in the body; for او اللِّحْيَةِ in the K is a mistranscription for وَالجُثَّةِ: (TA:) cunning, or very cunning: (K, TA:) light of flesh, quick in work, wicked, and clever: (TA:) or [simply] light and quick: and applied as an epithet to a wolf. (K.) b2: Also A woman that grins and frowns in thy face when thou enterest, and wails after thee when thou goest forth. (K, * TA.) b3: And A tall and slender man: (K, TA:) fem. in this sense with ة.

(TA.) [Hence, used in lexicology and grammar as meaning What has been received by hearsay; i. e. what is established by received usage: as in the phrase, مَقْصُورٌ عَلَى السَّمَاعِ restricted to what has been received by hearsay; &c.: and in the phrase شَاذٌّ فِى السَّمَاعِ deviating from the constant course of speech with respect to what has been receeived by hearsay; &c.; which virtually means deviating from what is established by received usage: “ what has been received by hearsay ” always meaning “ what has been heard, either immediately or mediately, from one or more of the Arabs of the classical times. ”] b4: [Also What is heard, or being heard, of discourse, or narration, and of matters of science. See an ex. voce مُرِذٌّ, in art. رذ.] b5: And [hence,] Singing, or song; and any [musical performance whether vocal or instrumental or both combined, or any other] pleasant sound in which the ears take delight: as in the saying, بَاتَ فِى لَهْوٍ وَسَمَاعٍ [He passed the night in the enjoyment of diversion and singing, &c.].

سَمُوعٌ: see سَامِعٌ, in two places.

سَمِيعٌ: see سَامِعٌ, in six places. b2: It is also syn. with مُسْمِعٌ [Making to hear; &c.]. (S, K.) Az remarks its being wonderful that persons should explain it as having this meaning in order to avoid the assigning to God the attribute of hearing, since that attribute is assigned to Him in more than one place in the Kur-án, though his hearing is not like the hearing of his creatures: he, however, adds, I do not deny that, in the language of the Arabs, سميع may be syn. with سَامِعٌ or مُسْمِعٌ; but it is mostly syn. with سَامِعٌ, like as عَلِيمٌ is with عَالِمٌ, and قَدِيرٌ with قَادِرٌ.
