جدب

1 جَدُبَ, (A, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (K,) inf. n. جُدُوبَةٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) It (a place, S, A, K, or a country, or region, Msb,) was, or became, affected with drought, barrenness, or dearth; or with drought, and dryness of the earth; (S, A, Msb, K;) as also جَدِبَ, (A,) inf. n. جَدَبٌ; (KL;) or جَدَبَ; (K;) and ↓ اجدب; (A, K;) or جَدِبَت, aor. ـَ and ↓ أَجْدَبَت; both said of the earth or land (الأَرْض): (Msb:) and ↓ أَجْدَبَتِ البِلَادُ the countries, or regions, were affected with drought, and the prices became high [therein]. (TA.) A2: جَدَبَهُ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (M, Msb, K) and جَدُبَ, (K,) inf. n. جَدْبٌ, (Msb,) He found fault with it; dispraised it; expressed disapprobation of it. (S, M, A, Msb, K.) So in the saying (S, A) relating to 'Omar, (A, TA,) in a trad., (S,) جَدَبَ السَّمَرَ بَعْدَ العِشَآءِ (S) or بَعْدَ العَتَمَةِ (A) [He expressed disapprobation of night-discourse after nightfall, or after the first third of the night reckoned from the disappearance of the redness of the twilight].3 جَادَبَتِ الإِبِلُ العَامَ, (ISk, S, A, TA,) inf. n. مُجَادَبَةٌ, (TA,) The camels experienced, or have experienced, drought, and barrenness, or dryness of the earth, this year, and have become in such a state as not to eat anything but dry and black herbage, dry ثُمَام [or panic grass]: (ISk, S, TA:) or have not met with, or found, anything but what was bad, by reason of drought, and barrenness, or dryness of the earth, this year. (A.) 4 أَجْدَبَ see 1, in three places. b2: أَجْدَبَتِ السَّنَةُ The year became one of drought, barrenness, or dearth; or drought, and dryness of the earth. (A, * TA.) b3: اجدب القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, experienced drought, barrenness, or death; or drought, and dryness of the earth. (S, A, Msb, K.) b4: [Hence,] نَزَلْنَا بِبَنِى فُلَانٍ فَأَجْدَبْنَا (tropical:) We alighted as guests at the abode of the sons of such a one, and found not entertainment with them, though they were in the enjoyment of plenty: (A:) [or] نَزَلْنَا فُلَانًا فَأَجَْبْنَاهُ (assumed tropical:) we alighted as guests at the abode of such a one, and [found that] he did not entertain us. (TA.) [The latter, if correct, is from what next follows.]

A2: اجدب الأَرْضَ He found the land to be affected with drought, barrenness, or dearth; or with drought, and dryness of the earth. (S, A, K.) 5 مَا أَتَجَدَّبُ أَنْ أَصْحَبَكَ (assumed tropical:) I do not deem it disagreeable, or unsuitable, to accompany thee; syn. مَا أَسْتَوْخِمُ. (K.) جَدْبٌ Drought, barrenness, or dearth; contr. of خِصْبٌ; (S;) i. q. مَحْلٌ, (A, Msb, K,) i. e. drought, or suspension of rain, and dryness of the earth; (Msb;) dryness and barrenness of the earth: (Har p. 576:) and ↓ جِدَبٌّ is a name, or subst., for الجَدْبٌ, (K, TA,) meaning المَحْلُ; as in the saying of the rájiz, cited by Sb, لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَرَى جِدَبَّا فِى عَامِنَا بَعْدَ مَا أَخْصَبَّا [Verily I feared to see drought, or barrenness, &c., in this our year, after it had been abundant in herbage]; جِدَبَّا being used for الجَدْبَا; or, accord. to one reading, it is ↓ جَدْبَبَّا, with a doubled ب added; the change being made for the sake of the metre. (M, TA. [Respecting أَخْصَبَّا, see 4 in art. خصب.]) b2: Also A place, (S, A, K,) or a country, or region, (Msb,) affected with drought, barrenness, or dearth; or with drought, and dryness of the earth; and so ↓ جَدِيبٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ جَدُوبٌ and ↓ مَجْدُوبٌ, (K,) the last derived from جُدِبَ though this verb has not been used, (TA,) and ↓ مُجْدِبٌ, (M, A,) of which the pl. is مَجَادِيبُ. (A.) You say also أَرْضٌ جَدْبٌ [in which جدب is an inf. n. (though app. obsolete as such) and therefore applicable to a fem. subst.] (ISd, TA) and جَدْبَةٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ جَدِبَةٌ (A, Msb) and ↓ جَدِيبٌ (Msb) and ↓ جَدُوبٌ (Lh, M, Msb) and ↓ مُجْدِبَةٌ, of which last the pl. is مَجَادِيبُ, (Msb,) A land affected with drought, &c.: (S, M, A, &c.:) and أَرْضُونَ جُدُوبٌ, (S, K,) as though to each part were applied the term جَدْبٌ [used as a subst.] from which is formed the pl. جُدُوبٌ, (TA,) and جَدْبٌ, (K,) which is here an inf. n. used as an epithet [and therefore applicable to a pl. subst.], (TA,) lands affected with drought, &c. (S, K.) And ↓ فَلَاةٌ جَدْبَآءُ [fem. of أَجْدَبُ] (M, K) A desert affected with drought, &c.; (K;) in which is neither little nor much, neither pasture nor herbage. (M, TA.) And ↓ فُلَانٌ جَدِيبُ الجَنَابِ Such a one is environed by a tract affected with drought, &c. (S. [But this phrase is generally used tropically, as meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is ungenerous or illiberal or inhospitable. See art. جنب.]) And سَنَةٌ جَدْبَةٌ (K in art. جرز) and عَامٌ

↓ جَدُوبٌ (M, TA) [A year of drought, &c.]. See also أَجَادِبُ, in two places.

A2: Also i. q. عَيْبٌ [A vice, fault, defect, &c.]; (S, A, K;) a signification which may be either proper or tropical. (Er-Rághib, MF.) أَرْضٌ جَدِبَةٌ: see جَدْبٌ.

أَخَذَ فِى وَادِى جَدَبَاتٍ: see جَذَبَات, in art. جذب.

جِدَبٌّ and جَدْبَبٌّ: see جَدْبٌ.

جَدُوبٌ: see جَدْبٌ, in three places.

جَدِيبٌ: see جَدْبٌ, in three places.

جَادِبٌ Finding fault, dispraising, expressing disapprobation: whence the saying of Dhu-rRummeh, فَيَا لَكَ مِنْ خَدٍّ أَسِيلٍ و مَنْطِقٍ

رَخِيمٍ وَمِنْ خَلْقٍ تَعَلَّلَ جَادِبُهْ meaning [O thou smooth and even cheek, and gentle speech, and make] whereof he who dispraises it occupies himself vainly, finding no defect in it. (S, TA.) b2: It is also said [as in the K &c.] to signify Lying; and the author of the 'Eyn says that it has no verb belonging to it [in this sense]; but this is a mistranscription [for خَادِبٌ]: Az says that جَادِبٌ, with ج, has the signification here first given. (M, TA.) جُنْدَبٌ and جُنْدُبٌ (S, K, &c.) and جِنْدَبٌ, like دِرْهَمٌ, (Sb, M, K,) the last of which is of weakest authority, because of a rare measure, whereof it has been said that there are only four examples: (TA:) in all of them the ن is said by some to be radical; but others, with more reason, hold it to be augmentative: (MF:) Sb says that it is augmentative: (S:) A species of locust, (S, K,) well known: (K:) or the male locust: or small locust: or, accord. to Seer, i. q. صَدًى [a kind of cricket], that creaks by night, and hops and flies: [but see صَدًى:] or, accord. to the M, it is smaller than the صدى, and is found in the deserts: pl. جَنَادِبُ. (TA.) صرّ الجندب [i. e. صَرَّ الجُنْدَبُ The جندب creaked] is a saying of the Arabs, used as a proverb; alluding to a difficult affair by which a person is troubled in mind; originating from the fact that the جندب, when its feet are scorched by the heated ground, does not keep them steadily upon it, and a creaking sound is consequently heard, produced by its legs. (TA.) b2: أُمُّ جُنْدَبٍ The sand; because the locust [or جندب] deposits its eggs therein: and the walker therein falls into evil [or encounters difficulty]. (TA.) b3: [Hence it signifies also] Misfortune: (S, M, K:) and perfidy, or faithlessness, or treachery: (M, K:) and wrong, or injury: (S, M, K:) and evil conduct, or ill treatment. (S.) You say, وَقَعَ فُلَانٌ فِى

أُمِّ جُنْدَبٍ Such a one fell into misfortune: or into perfidy. (TA.) And وَقَعُوا فِى أُمِّ جُنْدَبٍ

They suffered wrong, or injury. (Az, S, K.) And وَقَعَ القَوْمُ جُنْدَبٍ The people, or company of men, committed wrong, or injury, and slew him who was not a slayer: (TA:) [as though they came with violence upon sand in which eggs of the جندب were deposited, and so destroyed the eggs, which had occasioned them no harm.] And رَكِبَ أُمَّ جُنْدَبٍ He committed wrong, or injury. (TA.) أَجْدَبُ i. q. جَدْبٌ as syn. with جَدِيبٌ: fem.

جَدْيَآءُ. Hence,] فَلَاةٌ جَدْيَآءُ: see جَدْبٌ. b2: [Hence also,] سَنَةٌ جَدْبَآءُ A year of much snow. (L in art. شهب.) b3: أَجْدَبُ is [also] said in the M to be [used as] a subst. applied to what is termed مُجْدِب [i. e. as syn. with the latter word used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant; app. meaning A place, or the like, affected with drought, &c.]. (TA.) b4: [Also, as a comparative and superlative epithet, meaning More, and most, affected with drought, &c.; contr. of أَخْصَبُ.]

أَجَادِبُ, in a trad., where it is said, وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ

أَجَادِبُ أَمْسَكَتِ المَآءِ, (K, * TA,) or وكانت فِيهَا, (TA,) [And there were in it اجادب that retained the water], is said to be pl. of أَجْدُبٌ, which is pl. of ↓ جَدْبٌ, (K, TA,) like as أَكَالِبُ is pl. of أَكْلُبٌ, which is pl. of كَلْبٌ; (TA;) and signifies hard parts of the ground, that retain water, and do not imbibe it quickly; or, as some say, land having no plants or herbage, from ↓ جَدْبٌ meaning “ drought ” &c: the word is thus written in the two Saheehs, of El-Bukháree and Muslim: (IAth, TA:) but some say that it is an anomalous pl. of جَدْبٌ, like as مَحَاسِنُ is of حُسْنٌ: and there are other readings; namely, أَجَاذِبُ and أَحَادِبُ and أَحَازِبُ and أَجَارِدُ, pl. of أَجْرَدُ, and إِخَاذَاتٌ, pl. of إِخَاذَةٌ. (MF, TA.) مُجْدِبٌ, and its fem., with ة: see جَدْبٌ.

مِجْدَابٌ Land scarely ever, or never, abundant in herbage, or in the goods, conveniences, or comforts, of life; scarcely ever, or never, fruitful, or plentiful. (K.) مَجْدُوبٌ: see جَدْبٌ.

سلف

1 سَلَفَ, (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, M, Msb,) or, accord. to some, سَلِفَ, and accord. to IKtt, سَلَفٌ and سَلِفَ, (MF,) inf. n. سَفٌ, (S, K,) or سُلُوفٌ, (Msb,) [both app. correct,] It (a thing, K) [and also he (a man)] passed; passed away; (S, Msb, K;) came to an end, or to nought; or became cut off: (Msb:) and, (K,) inf. n. سَلْفٌ, (M, MF, and so in copies of the K,) or سَفٌ, (so in the CK,) and سُلُوفٌ, (M, K,) he (a man, K) [and also it (a thing)] went before, or preceded; (M, K;) and so ↓ سالف, said of a camel. (K.) In a verse cited voce سَلْفَ رَدَادٌ is used by poetic license for سَلَفَ: but this kind of contraction is allowed by the Basrees only in verbs of which the medial radical letter is with kesr or damm, as in عَلْمَ for عَلِمَ, and كَرْمَ for كَرُمَ. (M. [See سَرُعَ.]) b2: You say also, سَلَفَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ, meaning A good, or righteous, deed of his preceded [so as to prepare for him a future reward]. (TA.) b3: And سَلَفَتِ النَّاقَةُ, inf. n. سُلُوفٌ, The she-camel was, or became, among the foremost of the camels in arriving at the water. (TA.) b4: [Golius and Freytag mention also سَلَفَ as a trans. verb; the former explaining it as signifying “ Præteriit, præcessit, rem; ” and the latter adding “ tempore,” and assigning to it the inf. ns. سَلْفٌ and سُلُوفٌ; as on the authority of the K; in which I find no indication of such a usage of this verb.]

A2: سَلَفَ الأَرْضَ, (S, M, K;) aor. ـُ inf. n. سَلْفٌ; (S, M;) and ↓ اسلفها; (M, K;) He turned over the land for sowing: (M, K:) or (so in the K, but in the M “ and ”) he made it even with the مِسْلَفَة [q. v.]. (S, M, K.) b2: سَلَفَ المَزَادَةَ, inf. n. سَلْفٌ, [in some copies of the K سَلَف,] He oiled, or greased, the مزادة [or leathern water-bag]. (K.) 2 تَسْلِيفٌ signifies The making [a thing] to go before, or precede. (S, K.) b2: And I. q. إِسْلَافٌ. (K.) See 4, in six places. b3: And The giving to another the portion of food termed سُلفَة [q. v.]. (S.) You say, سلّف الرَّجُلَ, (S,) or القَوْمَ, (M,) inf. n. as above, (S,) He gave to the man, (S,) or to the people or party, (M,) the portion of food so called; (S, M;) as also [سلّف لَهُ, or]

سلّف لَهُمْ. (M.) b4: And The eating of the [portion of food termed] سُلْفَة. (K.) [See also 5.]3 سالف: see 1, first sentence.

A2: سالفهُ فِى

الأَرْضِ, (Ibn-'Abbád, K,) inf. n. مُسَالَفَةٌ, (Ibn-'Abbád, TA,) i. q. سَايَرَهُ [i. e. He went, or kept pace, or ran, with him, or he vied, contended, or competed, with him in going or running, in the land; as though striving to be before him]. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) b2: And سالفهُ He equalled him in an affair. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) 4 اسلفهُ He did it previously, or beforehand. (O and TA in art. زلف.) b2: [Hence,] اسلف فِى, كَذَا, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) inf. n. إِسْلَافٌ; (TA;) and فِيهِ ↓ سلّف, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) inf. n. تَسْلِيفٌ; (Msb, TA;) He paid in advance, or beforehand, for such a thing, (S, Mgh, TA,) i. e. a commodity described to him, (S,) or wheat or the like, for which the seller became responsible, [with something additional to the equivalent of the current price at the time of the payment, (see سَلَفٌ,)] (TA,) to be delivered at a certain period: (S:) and أَسْلَمَ signifies the same. (TA.) You say, أَسْلَفْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِى كَذَا and إِلَيْهِ ↓ سَلَّفْتُ [I paid in advance to him for such a thing, &c.]. (Msb.) Hence the saying in a trad., فَيُسَلِّفْ ↓ مَنْ سَلَّفَ فِى كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَوَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ i. e. He who pays in advance for a commodity for which the seller is responsible, let him pay in advance for a certain measure, and a certain weight, to be delivered at a certain period. (TA.) b3: And اسلفهُ مَالًا, (S, M, Mgh, TA,) and ↓ سلّفهُ, (M, Mgh, TA,) He lent him property [to be repaid, or returned, without any profit]. (M, Mgh, TA. [See, again, سَلَفٌ.]) [Whence one says, اسلفهُ إِحْسَانًا and سلّفهُ, and ↓ سلّفهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He did to him, to be requited it, a good action and an evil action; as is shown by the words مَا أَسْلَفْتَ مِنْ إِسَآءَةٍ أَوْ إِحْسَانٍ وَمَا تُعْطِيهِ لِتُقْضَاهُ in art. قرض in the K, and by the corresponding words مَا سَلَّفْتَ مِنْ إِحْسَانٍ وَمِنْ إِسَآءَةٍ in the same art. in the S: see also Bd in xxxvi. 11: and see زَلَّفَهُ. And hence,] a poet says, تُسَلِّفُ ↓ الجَارَ شِرْبًا وَهْىَ حَائِمَةٌ وَالمَآءُ لَزْنٌ بَكِىْءُ العَيْنِ مُقْتَسَمُ (assumed tropical:) [They (referring to camels) yield promptly to the neighbour a draught of milk, while they are thirsty, and going round about the water, when the water is crowded upon, scanty in the source, divided by lot]. (TA. [See also some verses of El-Akra' Ibn-Mo'ádh, in which the former hemistich occurs with a different latter hemistich, in the Ham p. 753.]) A2: See also 1, last sentence but one.5 تسلّف He received payment in advance: and ↓ استسلف [perhaps a mistranscription for ↓ استلف] signifies [the same; or] he took, or received, what is termed سَلَف. (Msb.) b2: [and hence,] تسلّف مِنْهُ He received from him a loan; syn. اِقْتَرَضَ; as also ↓ استلف. (A in art. قرض.) And تسلّف مِنْهُ كَذَا He received as a loan from him such a thing. (TA.) b3: See also 10. b4: And تسلّف He ate the [portion of food termed] سُلْفَة. (MA.) [See also 2.]6 تسالفا They two took as their wives two sisters. (M, K.) 8 إِسْتَلَفَ see 5, in two places.10 اِسْتَسْلَفْتُ مِنْهُ دَرَاهِمَ I sought, or demanded, of him money as a loan; as also ↓ تَسَلَّفْتُ. (S, * TA.) Hence, استسلف مِنْ أَعْرَابِىٍّ بَكْرًا He sought, or demanded, as a loan, from an Arab of the desert, a [youthful he-camel such as is termed]

بَكْر. (TA.) b2: And استسلف ثَمَنَهُ He sought, or demanded, its price in advance; syn. اِسْتَقْرَضَهُ. (Har p. 530.) b3: See also 5.

A2: [And استسلف He took as his wife the wife of his deceased brother: so in a version of the Bible, in Deut. xxv. 5: mentioned by Golius.]

سَلْفٌ A [bag for travelling-provisions &c., such as is termed] جِرَاب, (M, K,) of any sort: (M:) or a large جِرَاب: (S, M, K:) [and the contr., i. e. a small one: (Freytag, from the Kitáb el-Addád:)] or a hide not well, or not thoroughly, tanned: (M, K, TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَسْلُفٌ and [of mult.] سُلُوفٌ. (M, K.) سُلْفٌ [perhaps a mistranscription for سُلَفٌ, q. v.,] A certain species of bird, not particularized. (TA.) b2: See also مِسْلَفٌ.

سَلَفٌ Such as have gone before, or preceded; (M, Msb; *) [i. e. the preceding generations;] as also ↓ سَلِيفٌ and ↓ سُلْفَةٌ and ↓ سَلُوفٌ; all quasipl. ns.; (M;) of which the sing. is ↓ سَالِفٌ: (M, Msb: *) or such as have gone before, or preceded, of a man's ancestors (S, K) and of his relations, (K,) that are above him in age and in excellence; [but this addition is not always agreeable with usage;] one of whom is termed ↓ سَالِفٌ: (TA:) the pl. of سَلَفٌ is أَسْلَافٌ and سُلَّافٌ, (S, K,) [the former a pl. of pauc. and the latter of mult.,] or the latter is pl. of ↓ سَالِفٌ, and so is سَلَفٌ [said to be, though this is more properly termed, as it is in the M, a quasi-pl. n.]: (IB, Msb, TA:) and, accord. to Zj, سُلُفٌ is pl. of ↓ سَلِيفٌ, and سُلَفٌ is pl. of ↓ سُلْفَةٌ, which means a company (عُصْبَةٌ) that has passed away: (M:) or ↓ سَالِفٌ and ↓ سَلِيفٌ signify the same; going before; preceding; syn. مُتَقَدِّمٌ. (S.) [Accord. to Abu-lMahásin, السَّلَفُ is particularly applied to 'Áïsheh the wife of Mohammad, the three Khaleefehs Aboo-Bekr and 'Omar and 'Othmán, Talhah and Ez-Zubeyr, the Khaleefeh Mo'áwiyeh, and 'Amr Ibn-El-Ás. (De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., sec. ed., i. 156.)] And السَّلَفُ الصَّالِحُ is applied to the first chief persons of the Tábi'ees. (TA.) and السَّلَفُ المُقَدَّمُ is an appellation of the prophet Mohammad. (Ham p. 780.) [Hence, مَذَاهِبُ السَّلَفِ The tenets of the early Muslims.] b2: Also A people, or party, going before, or preceding, in journeying. (TA.) b3: And [simply] A company of men; as in the saying, جَآءَنِى سَلَفٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ [A company of men came to me]. (M.) b4: and Any good, or righteous, deed, that one has done beforehand [by way of preparing a future reward]: or any فَرَط [i. e. cause of reward, or recompense, in the world to come, such as a child dying in infancy], that [as it were] goes before one. (A 'Obeyd, O, K.) b5: And i. q. سَلَمٌ; (T, Hr, Mgh, O, K, TA;) i. e. Any money, or property, paid in advance, or beforehand, as the price of a commodity for which the seller has become responsible and which one has bought on description: (T, TA:) or payment for a commodity to be delivered at a certain [future] period with something additional to [the equivalent of] the current price at the time of such payment; this [transaction] being a cause of profit to him who makes such payment; and سَلَمٌ also has this meaning: (TA:) or a sort of sale in which the price is paid in advance, and the commodity is withheld, on the condition of description, to a certain [future] period: (S, O:) it is a subst. from الإِسْلَافُ. (Msb, * K, TA.) b6: and A loan (قَرْضٌ) in which is no profit (Hr, O, Mgh, K, TA) to the lender (Hr, O, K, TA) except recompense [in the world to come] and thanks, (TA,) and which it is incumbent on the recipient thereof to return as he received it: (Hr, O, K, TA:) thus the Arabs term it: (Hr, O, TA:) and in this sense also the word is a subst. from الإِسْلَافُ. (TA.) A2: Also A stallion-camel. (IAar, M, TA.) A3: Also, (M,) or ↓ سُلْفَةٌ, (O, TA,) The prepuce of a boy; (M, O, TA;) so says Lth; (O, TA;) and ↓ سَلِفٌ and ↓ سِلْفٌ signify the same; for this is meant by الجِلْدُ as an explanation of السَّلِفُ and السِّلْفُ in the K, in some copies of which الخُلْدُ is erroneously put for الجِلْدُ. (TA.) سَلِفٌ and ↓ سِلْفٌ The husband of the sister of the wife of a man: (S, K:) and [the duals]

سَلِفَانِ (M, TA) and ↓ سِلْفَانِ (M, K) signify the two husbands of two sisters: (M, K:) accord. to IAar, the epithet سَلِفَةٌ [or ↓ سِلْفَةٌ] is not applied to a woman; (M;) one only uses the term سَلِفَانِ applied to two men: (M:) or, (M, K,) accord. to Kr, سَلِفَتَانِ, (M,) or ↓ سِلْفَتَانِ, (K,) is applied to the two wives of two brothers: (M, K:) [in the present day, ↓ سِلْفَةٌ is used as meaning a woman's husband's sister, and her brother's wife:] the pl. applied to men is أَسْلَافٌ, (M, K, TA,) and that applied to women is سَلَفٌ. (TA.) A2: See also سَلَائِفُ, last sentence.

سَلَفٌ The young one of the حَجَل [or partridge]: (S, M, K:) or, accord. to Kr, of the قَطَاة [n. un. of قَطًا, q. v.]: (M:) AA says that he had not heard سُلَفَةٌ, applied to the female; but if one said سُلَفَةٌ, like as one says سُلَكَةٌ as meaning a single female of what are termed سِلْكَانِ, it would be approvable: (S:) the pl. is سِلْفَانِ (S, M, K) and سُلْفَانٌ: (M, K:) some say that سِلْفَانٌ signifies a species of bird, not particularized. (M.) [See also سُلَحٌ and سُلَكٌ.]

سُلْفَةٌ: see سَلَفٌ, first sentence, in two places. [Hence,] one says, جَاؤُوا سُلْفَةً سُلْفَةً, meaning They came [one before another; or, which is virtually the same,] one after, or near after, or at the heels of, another. (Az, K.) b2: Also A portion of food (S, M, TA) which a man takes betimes, (S,) or with which one contents, or satisfies, himself [so as to allay the craving of his stomach], (M,) before the [morning-meal called]

غَدَآء; (S, M, TA;) i. q. لُمْجَةٌ (K, TA) and لُهْنَةٌ: (TA:) or a لُهْنَة that is supplied betimes for a guest, before the غَدَآء.

A2: Also A piece, or portion, of land of seed-produce made even [with the مِسْلَفَة, q. v.]: pl. سُلَفٌ. (Az, O, K.)

(T, TA. [Accord. to the T, this seems to be proper; but accord. to the A, tropical.]) In this sense the verb is used in the Kur xxiii. 91. (Fr.) The Arabs say to a man, مَا سَحَرَكَ عَنْ وَجْهِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا (tropical:) What has turned thee from such and such a course? (Yoo.) أُفِكَ and سُحِرَ are syn. [as meaning (tropical:) He was turned from his course &c.]. (TA.) b3: And (tropical:) He turned him from hatred to love.

(MA.) You say, سَحَرَ الشَّىْءَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ, meaning (tropical:) He (an enchanter, سَاحِرٌ) apparently turned the thing from its proper manner of being, making what was false to appear in the form of the true, or real; causing the thing to be imagined different from what it really was.

(TA. [Accord. to the Mgh, the former verb in this sense seems to be derived from the same verb in the first of the senses expl. in this art.]) b6: and in like manner, (assumed tropical:) He diverted him [with a thing], as one diverts a child with food, that he may be contented, and not want milk; syn. عَلَّلَهُ; as also ↓ سحّرهُ, inf. n. تَسْحِيرٌ.

(TA.) [Hence,] one says, سَحَرَ المَطَرُ الطِّينَ and التُّرَابَ, (assumed tropical:) The rain spoiled the clay, and the earth, or dust, so that it was not fit for use. (TA.) b9: And one says of the adhesion of the lungs to the side by reason of thirst, يَسْحَرُ أَلْبَانَ الغَنَمِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) It causes the milk of the sheep, or goats, to descend before bringing forth. (TA.) A2: سَحَرَ also signifies He went, or removed, to a distance, or far away; syn. تَبَاعَدَ; (T, K;) said of a man. (T, TA.) A3: سَحِرَ, aor. ـَ (assumed tropical:) He went forth early in the morning, in the first part of the day; or between the time of the prayer of daybreak and sunrise; syn. بَكَّرَ. (O, K. [See also 4.]) 2 سحّر, inf. n. تَسْحِيرٌ: see 1, in four places. b2: Also (tropical:) He fed another, or others, with the food, or meal, called the سَحُور: (M, Mgh, TA:) or سَحَّرَهُمْ signifies he gave to them the meal so called.

(TA.) 8 استحر: see 4, in two places. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) He (a cock) crowed at the time called the سَحَر: (S, K:) and he (a bird) sang, warbled, or uttered his voice, at that time. (TA.) سَحْرٌ, and ↓ سَحَرٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) sometimes thus because of the faucial letter, (S,) and ↓ سُحْرٌ, (S, Msb, K,) and, accord. to El-Khafájee, in the 'Ináyeh, ↓ سِحْرٌ, but this is not mentioned by any other, and therefore requires confirmation, (TA,) The lungs, or lights: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) or what adheres to the gullet and the windpipe, of [the contents of] the upper part of the belly: or all that hangs to the gullet, consisting of the heart and liver and lungs: (Msb, TA:) and the part of the exterior of the body corresponding to the place of the lungs: (Mgh, TA: *) and سَحْرٌ signifies also the liver; and the core, or black or inner part, (سَوَاد,) and sides, or regions, of the heart: (TA:) and ↓ سُحْرٌ, the heart; (ElJarmee, K;) as also ↓ سُحْرَةٌ: (TA:) the pl. (of سَحْرٌ, S, Msb) is سُحُورٌ, and (of ↓ سُحْرٌ, S, Msb, and of ↓ سَحَرٌ, Msb) أَسْحَارٌ. (S, Msb, K.) b2: Hence, اِنْتَفَخَ سَحْرُهُ, (S, A, K,) and اِنْتَفَخَتْ

↓ مَسَاحِرُهُ, (A, K,) (tropical:) His lungs became inflated, or swollen, by reason of timidity and cowardice: (A:) said of a coward: (S:) and of one who has exceeded his due bounds: Lth says that, when repletion arises in a man, one says انتفخ سحره, and that the meaning is, [as given also in the K,] he exceeded his due bounds: but Az says that this is a mistake, and that this phrase is only said of a coward, whose inside is filled with fear, and whose lungs are inflated, or swollen, so that the heart is raised to the gullet: and of the same kind is the phrase in the Kur [xxxiii. 10]

وَبَلَغَتِ القُلُوبُ الحَنَاجِرَ. (TA.) b3: And المُقَطَّعَةُ الأَسْحَارِ, and السُّحُورِ, (assumed tropical:) [She that has her lungs burst asunder], an appellation given to the أَرْنَب [i. e. hare, or female hare], (S, K,) or to the swift ارنب, (TA in art. قطع,) by way of good omen, meaning that her lungs will burst asunder; like المُقَطَّعَةُ النِّيَاطِ: (S:) and some (of those of later times, S) say المُقَطِّعَةُ, with kesr to the ط; (S, K;) as though, by her speed and vehemence of running, she would burst asunder her lungs; (S;) or because she bursts the lungs of the dogs by the vehemence of her running, and the lungs of him who purses her. (ISh, Sgh.) b4: and اِنْقَطَعَ مِنْهُ سَحْرِى (tropical:) I despaired of him, or it. (A, K.) And أَنَا مِنْهُ غَيْرُ صَرِيمِ سَحْرٍ (tropical:) I am not in despair of him, or it.

A4: See also سَحَّارَةٌ.

A5: And see سَحَرٌ, in two places.

سُحْرٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.

سِحْرٌ: see سَحْرٌ, first sentence.

A2: [Also] an inf. n. of سَحَرَهُ, meaning (tropical:) The turning a thing from its proper manner of being to another manner: (T, TA: [accord. to the T, this seems to be proper; but accord. to the A, tropical:]) and hence, (T, TA,) (tropical:) enchantment, or fascination: (T, * S, * MA, KL, PS:) for when. the enchanter (السَّاحِرُ) makes what is false to appear in the form of truth, and causes a thing to be imagined different from what it really is, it is as though he turned it from its proper manner of being: (T, TA:) the producing what is false in the form of truth: (IF, Msb:) or, in the common conventional language of the law, any event of which the cause is hidden, and which is imagined to be different from what it really is: and embellishment by falsification, and deceit: (Fakhred-Deen, Msb:) or a performance in which one allies himself to the devil, and which is effected by his aid: (TA:) i. q. أَخْذَةٌ [meaning a kind of enchantment, or fascination, which captivates the eye and the like, and by which enchantresses withhold their husbands from other women]: (S:) and anything of which the way of proceeding or operation (مَأْخَذُهُ) is subtile: (S, K:) accord. to Ibn-Abee-'Áïsheh, سِحْر is thus called by the Arabs because it changes health, or soundness, to disease: (Sh:) [and in like manner it is said to change hatred to love: (see 1:)] pl. أَسْحَارٌ and سُحُورٌ. (TA.) b2: Also (tropical:) Skilful eloquence: (TA:) or used absolutely, it is applied to that for which the agent is blamed: and when restricted, to that which is praiseworthy. (Msb.) Thus it is in the saying of Mohammad, إِنَّ مِنَ البَيَانِ لَسِحْرًا (tropical:) [Verily there is a kind of eloquence that is enchantment]: because the speaker propounds an obscure matter, and discloses its true meaning by the beauty of his eloquence, inclining the hearts [of his hearers] in like manner as they are inclined by سِحْر: or because there is in eloquence a novelty and strangeness of composition which attracts the hearer and brings him to such a pass as almost diverts him from other things; therefore it is likened to سِحْر properly so called: and it is said to be السِّحْرُ الحَلَالُ [or lawful enchantment]. (Msb.) The saying of Mohammad mentioned above was uttered on the following occasion: Keys Ibn-'Ásim El-Minkaree and EzZibrikán Ibn-Bedr and 'Amr Ibn-El-Ahtam came to the Prophet, who asked 'Amr respecting EzZibrikán; whereupon he spoke well of him: but Ez-Zibrikán was not content with this, and said, “ By God, O apostle of God, he knows that I am more excellent than he has said; but he envies the place that I have in thine estimation: ” and thereupon 'Amr spoke ill of him; and then said, “By God, I did not lie of him in the first saying nor in the other; but he pleased me, and I spoke as pleased; then he angered me, and I spoke as angered: ” then Mohammad uttered the above-mentioned words. (TA.) Their meaning is, but God knows best, he praises the man, speaking truth respecting him, so as to turn the hearts of the hearers to him, (K,) or to what he says; (TA;) and he dispraises him, speaking truth respecting him, so as to turn their hearts also to him, (K,) or to what he says after. (TA.) A' Obeyd says nearly the same. Or, as some say, the meaning is, that there is an eloquence that is sinful like سِحْر. (TA.) b3: Also (tropical:) Skill; science: Mohammad said, مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ بَابًا مِنَ النُّجُومِ فَقَدْ تَعَلَّمَ بَابًا مِنَ السِّحْرِ (tropical:) [He who learneth a process of the science of the stars (meaning astrology or astronomy) learneth a process of enchantment], which may mean that the science of the stars is forbidden to be learned, like the science of enchantment, and that the learning of it is an act of infidelity: or it may mean that it is skill, and science; referring to what is acquired thereof by way of calculation; as the knowledge of eclipses of the sun or moon, and the like. (ISd, TA.) b4: Also (tropical:) Food; aliment; nutriment: so called because its effect is subtile. (TA.) b5: غَيْثٌ ذُو سِحْرٍ means (assumed tropical:) Superabundant rain. (TA.) سَحَرٌ: see سَحْرٌ, in two places.

A2: Also, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) and ↓ سَحْرٌ, (TA,) and ↓ سُحُرٌ, (Msb,) and ↓ سَحَرِىٌّ, and ↓ سَحَرِيَّةٌ, (K,) (tropical:) The time a little before daybreak: (S, K:) or [simply] before daybreak: (Msb:) or the last part of the night: (Lth, Mgh:) or the last sixth of the night: (Mgh:) the pl. of سَحَرٌ (Msb) and of ↓ سَحْرٌ (TA) and of ↓ سُحُرٌ, (Msb,) is أَسْحَارٌ: (Msb, K, TA:) the سَحَر is thus met. called because it is the time of the departure of the night and the coming of the day; so that it is the مُتَنَفَّس [lit. the “ time of the breathing,” by which is meant the “ shining forth,”] of the dawn: (A:) there are two times of which each is thus called; one, which is [specially] called السَّحَرُ الأَعْلَى, [or the earlier سَحَر,] (A, Mgh,) is before daybreak; (Mgh;) or a little before daybreak: (A:) and the other, at daybreak: (A, Mgh:) like as one says “ the false dawn ” and “ the true: ” (A:) the earlier سَحَر is also called ↓ سُحْرَةٌ: (S, K:) or the سُحْرَة is the same as the سَحَر: or it is the last third of the night, to daybreak. (TA.) Using سَحَر indeterminately, you make it perfectly decl., and say, أَتَيْتُهُ بِسَحَرٍ [I came to him a little before daybreak], agreeably with the phrase in the Kur liv. 34; (S;) and in like manner, ↓ بِسُحْرَةٍ [in the earlier سَحَر]: (S, K:) you also say سَحَرًا, and ↓ سُحْرَةً, (A,) and سَحَرًا مِنَ الأَسْحَارِ: and مَا زَالَ عِنْدَنَا مُنْذُ السَّحَرِ [He ceased not to be with us, or at our abode, from a little before daybreak]: and لَقِيتُهُ بِالسَّحَرِ الأَعْلَى, and بِأَعْلَى سَحَرَيْنِ, and بِأَعْلَى السَّحَرَيْنِ, (TA,) and فِى أَعْلَى السَّحَرَيْنِ, (A, TA,) [I met him in the earlier سَحَر;] but بِأَعْلَى سَحَرٍ, a phrase used by El-'Ajjáj, is erroneous: (TA:) and هٰذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ ↓ لَقِيتُهُ سَحَرِىَّ and ↓ سَحَرِيَّتَهَا [I met him in the time a little before daybreak of this last night]. (TA.) When, by سَحَر alone, you mean the سَحَر of the night immediately preceding, you say, لَقِيتُهُ سَحَرَ يَا هٰذَا [I met him a little before daybreak this last night, O thou man], (S, K,) making it imperfectly decl. because it is altered from السَّحَرَ, (S,) or because it is for بِالسَّحَرِ; (TA;) and it is thus determinate by itself, (S, K,) without its being prefixed to another noun and without ال: (S:) and in the same sense you say بِسَحَرَ: (TA:) and you say, سِرْ عَلَى فَرَسِكَ سَحَرَ يَا فَتَى [Go thou on thy horse a little before daybreak this night, O youth: so in the TA; but in two copies of the S, for سِرْ I find سِيرَ]: you do not make it to terminate with damm, [like قَبْلُ and بَعْدُ &c.,] because it is an adv. n. which, in a place where it is fitting to be such, may not be used otherwise than as such: (S:) and [in like manner] you say, ↓ لَقِيتُهُ سُحْرَةَ يَا هٰذَا [I met him in the earlier سَحَر of this last night, O thou man]. (TA.) If you make سَحَر the proper name of a man, it is perfectly decl.: and so is the dim.; for it is not of the measure of a noun made to deviate from its original from, like أُخَرُ: you say, ↓ سِرْ عَلَى فَرَسِكَ سُحَيْرًا [Go thou on thy horse a very little before daybreak: so in the TA; but here again, in two copies of the S, for سِرْ I find سِيرَ]: you do not make it to terminate with damm, [like قَبْلُ &c.,] because its being made of the dim. form does not bring it into the class of adv. ns. which may also be used as nouns absolutely, though it does bring it into the class of nouns which are perfectly declinable. (S, TA.) b2: سَحَرٌ also signifies (tropical:) Whiteness overspreading blackness; (K;) like صَحَرٌ; except that the former is mostly used in relation to the time so called, of daybreak; and the latter, in relation to colours, as when one says حِمَارٌ أَصْحَرُ; (TA;) and ↓ سُحْرَةٌ signifies the same; (TA;) i. q. صُحْرَةٌ. (K.) b3: And (tropical:) The extremity (T, A, K) of a desert, (T,) and of the earth or a land, (A,) or of anything: (K:) from the time of night so called: (A:) pl. أَسْحَارٌ. (T, A, K.) سَحِرٌ: see سَحِيرٌ.

سُحُرٌ: see سَحَرٌ, first sentence, in two places.

سُحْرَةٌ: see سَحْرٌ: A2: and سَحَرٌ, in five places.

سَحَرِىٌّ and سَحَرِيَّةٌ: see سَحَرٌ; each in two places.

سَحُورٌ A meal, or food, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) or [particularly] سَوِيق [generally meaning meal of parched barley], that is eaten at the time called the سَحَر; (S, * Mgh, Msb, K* TA;) or a draught of milk that is drunk at that time. (TA.) It is repeatedly mentioned in trads. [relating to Ramadán, when the Muslim is required to be exact in the time of this meal], and mostly as above; but some say that it is correctly [in these cases] with damm, [i. e. سُحُور, which see below,] because the blessing and recompense have respect to the action, and not to the food. (TA.) سُحُورٌ, an inf. n. [without a verb properly belonging to it, or rather a quasi-inf. n., for its verb is تَسَحَّرَ], (TA,) The act of eating the meal, or food, [or drinking the draught of milk,] called the سَحُور [q. v.]. (Msb, TA.) سَحِيرٌ: see مَسْحُورٌ. b2: Also A man having his lungs (سَحْرُهُ) ruptured; and so ↓ سَحِرٌ. (TA.) b3: And Having a complaint of the belly, (K, TA,) from pain of the lungs. (TA.) b4: And A horse large in the belly, (K,) or in the جَوْف [which often means the chest]. (TA.) A2: [and An arrow wounding the lungs: so accord. to Freytag in the “ Deewán el-Hudhaleeyeen. ”]

سُحَيْرًا: see سَحَرٌ, in the latter half of the paragraph.

سُحَارَةٌ The parts, of a sheep or goat, that the butcher plucks out (K, TA) and throws away, (TA,) consisting of the lungs, or lights, (سَحْر) and the windpipe, (K, TA,) and the appendages of these. (TA.) سَحَّارٌ: see سَاحِرٌ, in two places.

(TA.) عَشَقٌ The لَبْلَاب [a species of dolichos, the dolichos lablab of Linn.]; one of which is called عَشَقَةٌ: IDrd says, the [common] people assert that the عَشَقَة is the لَبْلَابَة: (O:) accord. to Zj, (TA,) عَشَقَةٌ signifies a certain tree [or plant] that becomes green, and then becomes slender and yellow: (K, TA:) and عَشَقٌ is its pl.

(TA.) b2: [Hence,] عَاشِقُ الأَبْكَارِ an appellation of The insect called حُرْقُوص [q. v.]; because of its entering into the فَرْج of the virgin girl. (IB, TA voce حرقوص.) مَعْشَقٌ: see عِشْقٌ.

which is أَيْمَن, is probably a mistranscription for أَيْسَر, i. e. “ left: ” the description here following plainly indicates Capella:] it is the bright star [a] upon the left shoulder of Auriga: that upon the left elbow is العَنْزُ: the two on the left wrist together with العيّوق are called العِنَازُ: [see عَنْزٌ:] it is also called the رَقِيب [or watcher] of الثُّرَيَّا, because it rises therewith at many places: and the star on the right shoulder [i. e.

β] with the two upon the ankle-joints [which may be θ and ι, for the constellation, is variously figured,] are called تَوابِعُ العَيُّوقِ: (Kzw:) it is [said to be] called العيّوق because of its [being regarded as] impeding الدَّبَرَان from meeting الثُّرَيَّا: (TA:) عَيُّوق, (Lth, Az, S, O,) is originally عَيْوُوق, (S, O,) its medial radical being و; or it may be ى. (Lth, Az, TA.) One says also, هٰذَا عَيُّوقُ طَالِعًا [meaning This is العَيُّوقُ rising]; suppressing the ال, but meaning it to be understood, and therefore leaving the word itself in its former determinate state [without tenween]. (IAar, TA.) مُعْوِقٌ One who is disappointed of attaining his object [by the failing of his beast or of his travelling-provision: see أَعْوَقَ]; syn. مُخْفِقٌ. (Ibn-' Abbád, O, K.) b2: And Hungry.

(Lb. T.) b2: نَسَبَهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. نَسْبٌ, He traced up his [i. e. another's] lineage to his greatest ancestor. (TA.) b3: نَسَبَهُ, [aor. ـُ He asked him to mention, or tell him, his relationship, [lineage, or genealogy].

Hence the proverb, القَرِيبُ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ لَا مَنْ تَنَسَّبَ: (S, K:) i. e. He is [indeed] an ally who allies himself by affection and friendship: not he who asserts himself to be a kinsman. (TA.) 6 تناسبوا (tropical:) They were mutually, or reciprocally, related; resembled one another; were similar, conformable, analogous, correspondent, or suitable, one to another; befitted one another.

One says to a man, in asking him respecting his relationship, &c., إِسْتَنْسِبْ لَنَا أَىْ إِنْتَسِبْ لَنَا حَتَّى نَعْرِفَكَ [Mention thy relationship, or lineage, to us, that we may know thee]. (Az.) Q. Q. 1 نَيْسَبَ بَيْنَهُمَا, inf. n. نَيْسَبَةٌ, He went to and fro between them two with malicious and mischievous misrepresentations, calumnies, or slanders, &c. (L, K.) نَسْبٌ: see نَسَبٌ.

A more general name of this kind should precede a more particular one: thus you say القُرَشِىُّ الهَاشِمِىُّ: and it is better that a name of relation to a tribe should precede one of relation to a town or the like: thus you say القُرَشِىُّ المَكِّىُّ. It is said that the Arabs originally called themselves by such names only in relation to tribes; and that, when they took up their abodes in cultivated lands and in cities, they borrowed names of relation to towns and the like from the Persians and Copts.
