(M, K. *) You say, قَطَّ القَلَمَ, (S, Msb,) aor. as above, (K,) and so the inf. n., (Msb,) He nibbed the reed for writing; cut off its head breadthwise, across, or crosswise. (S, * Msb.) And قَطَّ البَيْطَارُ حَافِرَ الدَّابَّةِ The farrier pared, and made even, the hoof of the beast of carriage. (TA.) A2: قَططَ الشَّعَرُ, (S, M, K,) with the reduplication made manifest, (S, M,) and قَطَّ, aor. ـَ (M, Msb, K,) and, of the latter, يَقُطُّ also, [contr. to the general rule,] (Msb,) inf. n., of the former, قَطٌّ, (M, TA,) which is extr., (M,) and of the latter, (M, TA,) قَطَطٌ and قَطَاطَةٌ, (M, K,) The hair was, or became, [frizzled, or] very crisp, very curly, or much twisted, and contracted: (S, * Msb:) or like that of the زَنْجِىّ: (Msb:) or crisp, curly, or twisted, and contracted, and short. (M, K.) A3: قَطَّ السِّعْرُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, K,) with kesr, (S, TA,) or يَقُطُّ, (M, Msb,) the verb being co-ordinate to قَتَلَ, [contr. to the general rule,] (Msb) inf. n. قَطٌّ (S, M, Msb, K) and قُطُوطٌ; (M, K;) as also قُطَّ, with damm; (Fr, K;) The price was, or became, dear, (S, M, Msb, K,) and high: (Msb:) Sh thought this explanation to be wrong, and the meaning to be the price flagged; but Az says, that in this he was mistaken. (TA.) b2: قَطَّ اللّٰهُ السِّعْرَ God made the price to be, or become, dear. (Fr. TA.) 2 قَطَّّ see 1, first sentence.7 انقطّ quasi-pass. of قَطَّهُ as explained in the first sentence of this art.; It was, or became, cut; &c.; and so ↓ اقتطّ.

R. Q. 1 قَطْقَطَتِ السَّمَآءُ The sky let fall rain, (Az, S, M,) or hail, (M,) such as is termed قِطْقِطٌ: (Az, S, M:) or the sky rained. (K.) قَطْ, signifying حَسْبُ, [explained in exs. here following,] (Lth, S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K,) i. e., (S,) denoting the being satisfied, or content, (Sb, S, M, Msb,) with a thing, (Msb,) is thus written, with fet-h to the ق, and with the ط quiescent, (Sb, S, M, Msb, * Mughnee,) like عَنْ; (K;) and also, (Sb, M, K,) sometimes, (Sb, M,) ↓ قَطٍ, (Sb, M, K,) with tenween, mejroor; (K;) and ↓ قَطِى [distinguished from قَطِى in the next sentence]; (Sb, M, K;) but the term “ mejroor ” is here used contr. to the rules of grammar, as it denotes that قط is decl., whereas it is not. (MF.) It is used as a prefixed noun: you say, قَطْكَ هٰذَا الشَّىْءُ Thy sufficiency [meaning sufficient for thee] is this thing; syn. حَسْبُكَ; (Lth, S, Mughnee; *) and like it is قَدْ: (Lth:) and you also say, using it as a prefixed n., قَطْنِى My sufficiency; syn. حَسْبِى; (Lth, S, * Mughnee;) like قَدْنِى; introducing ن, (Lth, S, TA,) as in عَنِّى and مِنِّى and لَدُنِّى, contr. to rule, for the reason which has been explained in treating of قَدْ, (S, TA,) to preserve the original quiescence of the ط; (Mughnee;) and قَطِى; (S, Msb, Mughnee;) and ↓ قَطِ; (S;) and ↓ قَطَاطِ, (S, M, K,) like قَطَامِ, (S, K,) indecl.; (M;) as signifying حَسْبِى: (S, M, Msb, Mughnee, K:) and, as is said in the Moo'ab, قَطْ عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ دِرْهَمٌ The sufficiency of 'Abd-Allah is a dirhem; [and the like is said by Lth and in the Mughnee;] pausing upon the ط, and making قط to govern a gen. case [as it does virtually in the preceding instances]; and the Basrees say, that this is the right mode, as meaning the like of حَسْبُ زَيْدٍ

دِرْهَمٌ and كَفْىَ زَيْدٍ دِرْهَمٌ: (K:) or some say قَطْ, with jezm; and some say ↓ قَطُ, making it inded. with damm for its termination; each governing what follows it in the gen. case. (M.) b2: It is also a verbal noun, signifying يَكْفِى [It suffices, or will suffice; or it is, or will be, sufficient]; and when this is the case, you say, قَطْنِى, (Mughnee, K,) like as you say, يَكْفِينِى [It suffices me, or will suffice me]; (Mughnee;) or كَفَانِى [which means, emphatically, it suffices me], accord. to the Koofees; (Lth;) which is also allowable when قَطْ is equivalent to حَسْبُ [as we have observed above]: (Mughnee:) and you say also, قَطْكَ, meaning كَفَاكَ [emphatically It suffices thee]: and قَطِى, meaning كَفَانِى [emphatically It suffices me]: (K:) so in the copies of the K; [in the CK, erroneously, قَطَّنِى;] but [it seems that it should be قَطْنِى; for] it is said in the Mughnee and its Expositions, that in this last case the addition of the ن is indispensable: (MF:) and some say, قَطْ عَبْدَ اللّٰهِ دِرْهَمٌ [A dirhem suffices, or will suffice, 'Abd-Allah (in the CK, erroneously, قَطُّ)]; making it to govern the accus. case [as it does virtually in preceding instances]: and some add ن, saying, عَبْدَ اللّٰهِ دِرْهَمٌ ↓ قَطْنُ [meaning the same]: (Lth, K:) [hence,] some say, that [قَطْن in] قَطْنِى is a word originally thus formed without any augmentation, like [حَسْب in] حَسْبِى; (M;) [but J says,] if the ن in قَطْنِى belonged to the root of the word, they had said قَطْنُكَ, which is not known. (S.) b3: It is also syn. with حَسْبُ in the phrase مَا رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَقَطٌ [I have not seen him, or it, save once, and that was a thing sufficient or that was enough]: (S, Msb: *) or, as is said in the Mutowwel, قَطْ in فَقَطْ is a verbal noun, meaning abstain thou [from further questioning, or the like], as though it were the complement of a condition suppressed [such as “ the case being so ”]: or, as is said in the Mesáïl of Ibn-Es-Seed, the ف is properly prefixed because the meaning is and I was satisfied, or content, therewith; so that the ف is a conjunction: (from a marginal note in a copy of the Mughnee:) [it therefore virtually signifies and no more; or only; and thus it may often be rendered: and this explains what here follows:] when قَط is used to denote paucity, (M, K,) which is said by El-Hareeree, in the Durrah, to be only in negative phrases, (MF,) it is [written قَطْ,] with jezm, (M, K,) and without teshdeed: (M:) you say, مَا عِنْدَكَ إِلَّا هٰذَا قَطْ [which may be rendered Thou hast not save this only]: but when it is followed by a conjunctive ا, it is with kesr; [as in the saying,] مَا عَلِمْتُ إِلَّا هٰذَا قَطِ اليَوْمَ [virtually mean-ing I knew not, or, emphatically, know not, save this only, to-day]: (K:) and also, (K,) when thus using it, (M,) you say, مَا لَهُ إِلَّا عَشَرَةٌ قَطْ يَافَتَى [likewise virtually meaning He has not save ten only, O young man], without teshdeed, and with jezm; and ↓ قَطِّ, with teshdeed and khafd; (Lh, M, K;) the kesreh of the latter, in a case of this kind, being to distinguish the قَطّ which denotes [paucity of] number from قَطُّ, which denotes time. (Lth.) A2: See also قَطُّ, first sentence.

قُطْ: see قَطُّ.

قَطُ: see قَطْ: A2: and see also قَطُّ.

قَطِ: see قَطْ.

قُطُ: see قَطُّ.

قَطٍ: see قَطْ.

قَطَّ: see قَطُّ.

قَطُّ is an adv. noun, (Mughnee,) [generally] denoting time, (S, M, Mughnee,) or past time, (Msb, K,) used to include all past time; (Lth, Mughnee;) as also ↓ قُطُّ, (S, M, Mughnee, K,) the former vowel being assimilated to the latter; (S, Mughnee;) and ↓ قَطُ, (S, M, Mughnee, K,) and ↓ قُطُ; (S, Mughnee, * K;) and some say ↓ قَطْ, (S, Mughnee,) whence قَطُ is formed, by making its termination similar to that of the primary form قَطُّ, to show its origin; (S, M;) or this would be better than قَطُ; (M;) and ↓ قُطْ, (S, M, Mughnee, *) like مُذْ, which is rare: (S, M:) of all these, the first is the most chaste: (Mughnee:) when time is meant by it, it is always with refa, without tenween: (K:) or one says also ↓ قَطِّ, (M, Mughnee, K,) with kesr and teshdeed to the ط, (M, K,) accord. to IAar; (M;) and ↓ قَطَّ, with fet-h and teshdeed to the ط; (M, * K;) as well as with damm to the ط without teshdeed. (K [in some copies of which is here added, “and with refa to the ط; ” to which is further added in the CK, “without teshdeed: ” but I find two copies without any addition of this redundant kind: for by “ refa ” is here meant, as in a former instance, “damm; ”

though improperly, as the word is indecl.]) Yousay, مَا رَأَيْتُهُ قَطُّ &c. [I have not seen him, or it, ever, or hitherto]; (S, M, K;) and مَا فَعَلْتُهُ قَطَّ [I have not done it ever, or hitherto]; (Msb, Mughnee;) i. e., in the time that is past; (Msb, K;) or in what has been cut off of my life; (Mughnee, K;) its derivation being from قَطَطْتُ meaning “ I cut; ” for the past is cut off from the present and the future; and it is indecl. because it implies the meaning of مُذْ and إِلَى; its meaning being مُذْ أَنْ خُلِقْتُ إِلَى الآنَ [since my being created until now]; and with a vowel for its termination to prevent the occurrence of two quiescent letters together; (Mughnee;) and it is with refa [meaning damm for its termination] because it is like قَبْلُ and بَعْدُ: (Lth:) accord. to Ks, (S,) قَطُّ is a contraction of قَطَطُ: (S, M:) Sb says, that it denotes الإِنْتِهَآء; [app. meaning that it signifies abstain thou from further questioning, or the like; for El-Hareeree says, in the Durrah, that قَطُّ and قَطْ both signify the same as حَسْبُ;] and that it is indecl., with damm for its termination, like حَسْبُ. (M.) You say also, مَا فَعَلْتُ هٰذَا قَطْ وَلَا قَطُّ [app. meaning I have not done this alone, nor ever]: (K, TA: [in the CK قَطُّ ولا قُطُ, but]) the former قط is with jezm to the ط, and the latter is with teshdeed and damm to the ط. (TA.) And يَا فَتَى ↓ مَا زَالَ عَلَى هٰذَا مُذْ قُطَّ [He, or it, has not ceased to be after this manner during all past time, O young man]; with damm to the ق, and with teshdeed. (Lh, M.) It is used only in negative phrases relating to past time; the saying of the vulgar لَا أَفْعَلُهُ قَطُّ [meaning I will not do it ever] being incorrect; (Mughnee, K; [in the CK قَطُ]) for with respect to the future you say عَوْضُ (TA) [or أَبَدًا]: or it is mostly so used, accord. to Ibn-Málik: (MF:) but it occurs after an affirmative phrase in places in El-Bukháree, (K,) in his Saheeh; (TA;) for ex., أَطْوَلُ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّيْتُهَا قَطُّ [The longest prayer which I have prayed ever]: and in the Sunan of Aboo-Dawood; تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا قَطُّ [He performed the وُضُوْء three times ever]: and Ibn-Málik asserts it to be right, and says that it is one of the things which have been unperceived by many of the grammarians: (K:) El-Karmánee, however, interprets these instances as though they were negative. (TA.) قَطِّ: see قَطْ, near the end of the paragraph: A2: and see also قَطُّ, in the first sentence.

قُطُّ: see قَطُّ, in two places.

شَعَرٌ قَطٌّ, and ↓ قَطَطٌ, (M, Msb, K,) and ↓ قَطِطٌ, (TA,) Crisp, curly, or twisted and contracted, and short, hair: (M, K:) or hair that is very crisp, very curly, or much twisted and contracted: or, accord. to the T, ↓ قَطَطٌ meanshair of the زَنْجِىّ: (Msb:) or you say, ↓ جَعْدٌ قَطَطٌ, meaning very crisp, very curly, or much twisted and contracted. (S.) b2: رَجُلٌ قَطٌّ, and ↓ قَطَطٌ, (Msb,) or رَجُلٌ قَطُّ الشَّعَرِ, and ↓ قَطَطُ الشَّعَرِ, (S, M, K,) A man whose hair is crisp, curly, or twisted and contracted, and short: (M, K:) or whose hair is very crisp, very curly, or much twisted and contracted; (S, * Msb;) as also ↓ قِطَاطٌ: (K: accord. to some copies; but accord. to other copies, as a pl. in this sense: [the reading of the latter is more probably correct, and is that of the TA:]) or beautifully crisp or curly or twisted and contracted: (TA:) the pl. [of قَطٌّ] is أَقْطَاطٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and قَطُّونَ and قِطَاطٌ; and [of ↓ قَطَطٌ] قَطَطُونَ: (M, K:) the epithet applied to a woman is قَطَّةٌ, and ↓ قَطَطٌ without ة. (M, Msb.) A2: See also ↓ قَاطٌّ.

Hence the saying in the Kur, [xxxviii. 15,] رَبَّنَا عَجِّلْ لَنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الحِسَابِ (tropical:) [O our Lord, hasten to us our portion before the day of reckoning]: accord. to some, our portion of punishment: but accord. to Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr, it means, of Paradise. (TA.) b3: (assumed tropical:) A writing; (Fr, S, Msb;) [such as that of a man's works;] and hence, accord. to Fr, the words of the Kur cited above; those words being said in derision: (TA:) or a writing of reckoning: (M, K:) or a written obligation: (M:) or it signifies also a written obligation binding one to give a gift or present; (S, K, TA;) and hence the saying in the Kur cited above: (S:) pl. قُطُوطٌ: (S, M, Msb, K:) which Az explains as meaning gifts, and stipends; so called because they were issued written in the form of notes and statements of obligation upon cut pieces of paper or the like. (TA.) b4: (assumed tropical:) An hour, or a portion, (سَاعَة,) of the night. (M, K.) You say مَضَى قِطٌّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ (assumed tropical:) [An hour, or a portion, of the night passed]. (Th, M.) A2: A male cat: (S, M, Msb, K:) the female is called قِطَّةٌ: (Lth, S, M, Msb:) Kr disallowed this latter; and IDrd says, I do not think it to be genuine Arabic; (M;) but to this it is objected that it occurs in traditions: (MF:) the pl. is قِطَاطٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and قِطَطَةٌ, (M, K,) or قِطَطٌ. (Msb.) قَطَطٌ: see قَطٌّ, throughout.

A2: A paternal uncle; a father's brother: (S, K:) pl. أَعْمَامٌ (S, Msb, K) and عُمُومٌ (TA) and عُمُومَةٌ (Sb, S, K) and أَعِمَّةٌ (CK) and أَعُمٌّ, (K,) a pl. of pauc., mentioned by Fr and IAar, (TA,) and pl. pl. أَعْمُمُونَ, (K, TA,) without idghám, by rule أَعُمُّونَ: (TA:) the female is termed ↓ عَمَّةٌ [i. e. a paternal aunt; a father's sister]: (K:) and the pl. of this is عَمَّاتٌ. (Msb.) One says, يَا ابْنَ عَمِّى and يا ابن عَمِّ (S, L) and يا ابن عَمَّ (L) and يا ابن عَمِ, (S, L, [but in one copy of the S I find the first three and not the last,]) the last without teshdeed, (L,) dial. vars. [all meaning O son of my paternal uncle]: (S, L:) and Abu-n-Nejm uses the expression يَا ابْنَةَ عَمَّا [O daughter of my paternal uncle], meaning عَمَّاهْ, with the ه of lamentation. (S.) And one says, هُمَا ابْنَا عَمٍّ [meaning Each of them two is a son of a paternal uncle of the other]; (S, IB, Msb, K;) because each of them says to the other, يَا ابْنَ عَمِّى; (IB;) and in like manner, ابْنَا خَالَةٍ; (S, IB, Msb, K;) because each of them says to the other, يَا ابْنَ جَالَتِى: (IB:) but one may not say, ↓ هُمَا ابْنَا عَمَّةٍ, nor ابْنَا خَالٍ; (S, IB, Msb, K;) because one of them says to the other, يَا ابْنَ خَالِى, but the latter says to the former, يَا ابْنَ عَمَّتِى. (IB.) And [عَمٌّ signifies also A paternal great uncle, &c.: therefore] one says, هُمَا ابْنَا عَمٍّ

لَحًّا [They two are cousins on the father's side, closely related]; and in like manner, ابْنَا خَالَةٍ

لَحًّا: but not لَحًّا ↓ ابْنَا عَمَّةٍ, nor ابْنَا خَالٍ لَحًّا: (TA:) and هُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ ظَهْرًا i. e. [He is his cousin on the father's side,] distantly related. (As, in A and O and TA, art. ظهر.) b2: It is said in a trad., النَّخْلَةَ ↓ أَكْرِمُوا عَمَّتَكُمُ [Honour ye your paternal aunt the palm-tree]: i. e. [do ye so] because it was created of the redundant portion of the earth, or clay, of Adam. (TA.) b3: And عَمٌّ signifies also Tall palm-trees, (K, TA,) of full tallness and abundance and density; (TA;) and ↓ عُمٌّ signifies the same: (K, TA:) [or so نَخْلُ عَمٌّ and عُمٌّ, which is perhaps meant in the K: for] عُمٌّ is an epithet applied to palm-trees, (S, K, TA,) and is pl. of عَمِيمَةٌ [fem. of عَمِيمٌ]. (S, K.) b4: And All [herbs such as are termed]

عُشْب. (Th, K.) عَمَّ in the phrase عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ [Respecting what do they ask one another? in the Kur lxxviii. 1] is originally عَمَّا, [for عَنْ مَا,] the ا being elided in the interrogation [after the prep. عَنْ]. (S.) عُمٌّ: see عَمٌّ, last sentence but one: A2: and see also عُمُمٌ.

عَمَّةٌ fem. of عَمٌّ: see the latter, in four places.

عِمَّةٌ A mode of attiring oneself with the turban: so in the saying, هُوَ حَسَنُ العِمَّةِ [He is comely in respect of the mode of attiring himself with the turban]. (S, K.) b2: [And it is vulgarly used as meaning A turban itself, like عِمَامَةٌ; and is used in this sense in the TA in art. علم: see عَلَمْتُ عِمَّتِى near the end of the first paragraph of that art.]

عَمَمٌ The state, or quality, of being collected together, and numerous, or abundant. (K.) b2: And Largeness, or bigness, of make, in men and in others. (K.) b3: See also عُمُمٌ.

عُمُمٌ Completeness of body [or bodily growth], and of wealth, and of youthful vigour, or of the period of youthfulness: so in the phrase اِسْتَوَى

عَلَى عُمُمِهِ, (S, K,) occurring in a trad. of 'Orweh Ibn-Ez-Zubeyr, on his mentioning Uheyhah Ibn-El-Juláh and the saying of his maternal uncles respecting him, كُنَّا أَهْلَ ثُمِّهِ وَرُمِّهِ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى

عَلَى عُمُمِهِ [i. e. We were the masters of the meaner and the better articles of his property until he attained to man's estate, or to his completeness of bodily growth, &c.]; (S;) [or] the meaning is, his completeness of stature and of bones and of limbs: (TA:) also pronounced with teshdeed [or idghám, i. e. ↓ عُمِّهِ], for the sake of conformity [with ثُمِّهِ and رُمِّهِ]; (S, TA;) and by some, ↓ عَمَمِهِ.

(S, K.) عِمَامَةٌ [A turban;] the thing that one winds upon the head: (K:) pl. عمَائِمُ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ عِمَامٌ, (Lh, K,) the latter either a broken pl. of عِمَامَةٌ or [a coll. gen. n., i. e.,] these two words are of the class of طَلْحٌ and طَلْحَةٌ. (TA.) [On the old Arab mode of disposing the turban, see خِمَارٌ.] The عَمَائِم were the crowns of the Arabs. (S, Msb.) أَرْخَى عِمَامَتَهُ [lit. He slackened, or loosened, his turban,] means (assumed tropical:) he became, or felt, in a state of security, or safety, and at ease, or in easy circumstances; (K, TA;) because a man does not slacken, or loosen, his turban but in easy circumstances. (TA.) b2: Also (tropical:) The مِغْفَر [q. v.]: and (tropical:) the helmet: (K, TA:) by some erroneously written with fet-h [to the first letter]. (MF.) b3: And Pieces of wood bound together, upon which one embarks on the sea, and upon which one crosses a river; as also ↓ عَامَّةٌ; or this is correctly عَامَةٌ, without teshdeed; (K, TA;) and thus it is rightly mentioned by IAar.

عُمِّىٌّ, like قُمِّىٌّ, (K, TA,) with damm, but in the M عم, (TA, [in which this word is thus doubtfully written, and has been altered, perhaps from عَمِّىٌّ, for قُمِّىٌّ is a word which I do not find in any case other than this, and if any word of the measure فُعْلِىٌّ were meant, أُمِّىٌّ would be a much better instance of similarity of form,]) an epithet applied to a man, i. q. عَامٌّ [app. meaning Of the common sort; like عَامِّىٌّ]: (K, TA:) and قُصْرِىٌّ or قَصْرِىٌّ, (accord. to different copies of the K,) in the M قَصْرى, (TA, [there thus written, only with a fet-hah to the ق and the sign of quiescence to the ص,]) signifies [the contr., i. e.] خَاصٌّ.

[as meaning Common, or general, or universal; or generally, or universally, comprehensive: &c.: see 1, first sentence: contr. of خَاصٌّ]. (Msb.) b2: See also العَامَّةُ. b3: Also [A general word; i. e.] a word applied by a single application to many things, not restricted, including everything to which it is applicable: the words “ by a single application ” exclude the homonym, because this is by several applications; and the saying “ to many things ” excludes what is not applied to many things, as زَيْدٌ, and عَمْرٌو: and the words “ not restricted ” exclude the nouns of number, for المِائِةُ, for instance, is applied by a single application to many things and includes everything to which it is applicable, but the many things are restricted: and the words “ including everything to which it is applicable ” exclude the indeterminate plural, as in the phrase رَأَيْتُ رِجَالًا, all men not being seen: and the word is either عامّ by its form and its meaning, as الرِّجَالُ, or عامّ by its meaning only, as الرَّهْطُ and القَوْمُ. (KT. [The word in this sense is often used in the lexicons, but is expl. in few of them, as being conventional and post-classical.]) العَامَّةُ is the contr. of الخَاصَّةُ [i. e. the former signifies The commonalty, or generality of people; the people in common or in general; the common people; the common sort; or the vulgar]: (S, Msb, K:) the ة is a corroborative: (Msb:) and ↓ المَعَمَّةُ signifies the same as العَامَّةُ: (IAar, TA voce سَامٌّ:) the pl. of عَامَّةٌ is عَوَامُّ, (Msb,) and ↓ عَمَمٌ is quasi-pl. n. of عَامَّةٌ as contr. of خَاصَّةٌ. (K.) [And one says also ↓ الخَاصُّ وَالعَامُّ as well as الخَاصَّةُ وَالعَامَّةُ, meaning The distinguished and the common people; the persons of distinction and the vulgar. b2: عَامَّةً means In common, or commonly, in general, or generally; and universally. And one says, جَاؤُوا عَامَّةً meaning They came generally, or universally.] عَامَّةُ الشَّهْرِ means The greater part of the month. (TA in art. جذب.)

(K.) مُعِمٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مِعَمٌّ, with kesr to the first letter, (K, TA, [in the CK, مِعَمُّ خَيْرِ بكَسْرِ اَوَّلِهِ is erroneously put for مِعَمٌّ بِكَسْرِ أَوَّلِهِ خَيّرٌ,]) One who is good, or very good, (K, TA,) who includes mankind in common, in general, or universally, within the compass of his goodness, (Kr, T, K, TA,) and his superabundant bounty; (T, TA;) and ↓ عَمَمٌ signifies the same: (K:) [see also an ex. and explanation voce مِثَمٌّ, in art. ثم:] مِعَمٌّ is almost the only instance of an epithet of the measure مِفْعَلٌ from a verb of the measure فَعَلَ, except مِلَمٌّ [and مِثَمٌّ, with both of which it is coupled]. (TA.) b2: See also مُعَمٌّ.

حَجْرٌ:
بالفتح، يقال: حجرت عليه حجرا إذا منعته فهو محجور، والحجر، بالكسر، بمعنى واحد.
وحجر: هي مدينة اليمامة وأم قراها، وبها ينزل الوالي، وهي شركة إلا أن الأصل لحنيفة، وهي بمنزلة البصرة والكوفة، لكل قوم منها خطّة إلا أن العدد فيه لبني عبيد من بني حنيفة، وقال أبو عبيدة معمر بن المثنّى: خرجت بنو حنيفة بن لجيم ابن صعب بن علي بن بكر بن وائل يتبعون الريف ويرتادون الكلأ حتى قاربوا اليمامة على السّمت الذي كانت عبد القيس سلكته لما قدمت البحرين، فخرج عبيد بن ثعلبــة بن يربوع بن ثعلبــة بن الدؤل بن حنيفة منتجعا بأهله وماله يتبع مواقع القطر حتى هجم على اليمامة فنزل موضعا يقال له قارات الحبل، وهو من حجر على يوم وليلة، فأقام بها أياما ومعه جار من اليمن من سعد العشيرة ثم من بني زبيد، فخرج راعي عبيد حتى أتى قاع حجر فرأى القصور والنخل وأرضا عرف أن لها شأنا وهي التي كانت لطسم وجديس فبادوا كما يذكر، إن شاء الله تعالى، في اليمامة، فرجع الراعي حتى أتى عبيدا فقال: والله إني رأيت آطاما طوالا وأشجارا حسانا هذا حملها، وأتى بالتمر معه مما وجده منتثرا تحت النخل، فتناول منه عبيد وأكل وقال: هذا والله طعام طيّب! وأصبح فأمر بجزور فنحرت ثم قال لبنيه وغلمانه:
اجتزروا حتى آتيكم، وركب فرسه وأردف الغلام خلفه وأخذ رمحه حتى أتى حجرا فلما رآها لم يحل عنها وعرف أنها أرض لها شأن فوضع رمحه في الأرض ثم دفع الفرس واحتجر ثلاثين قصرا وثلاثين حديقة وسماها حجرا وكانت تسمى اليمامة، فقال في ذلك:
حللنا بدار كان فيها أنيسها، ... فبادوا وخلّوا ذات شيد حصونها
فصاروا قطينا للفلاة بغربة ... رميما، وصرنا في الديار قطينها
فسوف يليها بعدنا من يحلها، ... ويسكن عرضا سهلها وحزونها
ثم ركز رمحه في وسطها ورجع إلى أهله فاحتملهم حتى أنزلهم بها، فلما رأى جاره الزبيدي ذلك قال:
يا عبيد الشرك! قال: لا بل الرضا، فقال: ما بعد الرضا إلا السخط، فقال عبيد: عليك بتلك القرية فانزلها، القرية بناحية حجر على نصف فرسخ منها، فأقام بها الزبيدي أياما ثم غرض فأتى عبيدا فقال له:
عوّضني شيئا فإني خارج وتارك ما ههنا، فأعطاه ثلاثين بكرة، فخرج ولحق بقومه، وتسامعت بنو حنيفة ومن كان معهم من بكر بن وائل بما أصاب عبيد بن ثعلبــة فأقبلوا فنزلوا قرى اليمامة وأقبل زيد ابن يربوع عمّ عبيد حتى أتى عبيدا فقال: أنزلني معك حجرا، فقام عبيد وقبض على ذكره وقال: والله لا ينزلها إلا من خرج من هذا، يعني أولاده، فلم يسكنها إلا ولده، وليس بها إلا عبيدي، وقال لعمه:
عليك بتلك القرية التي خرج منها الزبيدي فانزلها، فنزلها في أخبية الشعر وعبيد وولده في القصور بحجر، فكان عبيد يمكث الأيام ثم يقول لبنيه: انطلقوا إلى باديتنا، يريد عمه، فيمضون يتحدثون هنالك ثم يرجعون، فمن ثمّ سميت البادية، وهي منازل زيد وحبيب وقطن ولبيد بني يربوع بن ثعلبــة بن الدؤل بن حنيفة، ثم جعل عبيد يفسل النخل فيغرسها فتخرج ولا تخلف، ففعل أهل اليمامة كلهم ذلك، فهذا هو السبب في تسميتها حجرا، وقد أكثرت الشعراء من ذكرها والتشوق إليها، فروي عن نفطويه قال:
قالت أم موسى الكلابية وكان تزوجها رجل من أهل حجر اليمامة ونقلها إلى هنالك:
قد كنت أكره حجرا أن ألمّ بها، ... وأن أعيش بأرض ذات حيطان
لا حبّذا العرف الأعلى وساكنه، ... وما تضمّن من مال وعيدان
أبيت أرقب نجم الليل قاعدة ... حتى الصباح، وعند الباب علجان
لولا مخافة ربي أن يعاقبني، ... لقد دعوت على الشيخ ابن حيّان
وكان رجل من بني جشم بن بكر يقال له جحدر يخيف السبيل بأرض اليمن، وبلغ خبره الحجاج، فأرسل إلى عامله باليمن يشدد عليه في طلبه، فلم يزل يجد في أمره حتى ظفر به وحمله إلى الحجاج بواسط، فقال له: ما حملك على ما صنعت؟ فقال: كلب الزمان وجراءة الجنان، فأمر بحبسه فحبس، فحنّ إلى بلاده وقال:
لقد صدع الفؤاد، وقد شجاني ... بكاء حمامتين تجاوبان
تجاوبتا بصوت أعجميّ ... على غصنين: من غرب وبان
فأسبلت الدموع بلا احتشام، ... ولم أك باللئيم ولا الجبان
فقلت لصاحبيّ: دعا ملامي، ... وكفّا اللوم عني واعذراني
أليس الله يعلم أن قلبي ... يحبك أيها البرق اليماني؟
وأهوى أن أعيد إليك طرفي ... على عدواء من شغلي وشاني
أليس الله يجمع أم عمرو ... وإيانا، فذاك بنا تدان؟
بلى! وترى الهلال كما أراه، ... ويعلوها النهار كما علاني
فما بين التفرق غير سبع ... بقين من المحرم، أو ثمان
ألم ترني غذيت أخا حروب، ... إذا لم أجن كنت مجنّ جان؟
أيا أخويّ من جشم بن بكر، ... أقلّا اللّوم إن لا تنفعاني
إذا جاوزتما سعفات حجر ... وأودية اليمامة، فانعياني
لفتيان، إذا سمعوا بقتلي ... بكى شبانهم وبكى الغواني
وقولا: جحدر أمسى رهينا، ... يحاذر وقع مصقول يماني
ستبكي كل غانية عليه، ... وكل مخضّب رخص البنان
وكل فتى له أدب وحلم ... معدّيّ كريم، غير وان
فبلغ شعره هذا الحجاج فأحضره بين يديه وقال له:
أيما أحب إليك أن أقتلك بالسيف أو ألقيك للسباع؟
فقال له: أعطني سيفا وألقني للسباع! فأعطاه سيفا وألقاه إلى سبع ضار مجوّع فزأر السبع وجاءه فتلقاه بالسيف ففلق هامته، فأكرمه الحجاج واستنابه وخلع عليه وفرض له في العطاء وجعله من أصحابه، وأنشد ابن الأعرابي في نوادره لبعض اللصوص:
هل الباب مفروج، فأنظر نظرة ... بعين قلت حجرا وطال احتمامها؟
ألا حبّذا الدهنا وطيب ترابها، ... وأرض فضاء يصدح الليل هامها
وسير المطايا بالعشيات والضحى، ... إلى بقر وحش العيون اكامها
والحجر أيضا حجر الراشدة: موضع في ديار بني عقيل، وهو مكان ظليل أسفله كالعمود وأعلاه منتشر، عن أبي عبيد. والحجر أيضا: واد بين بلاد عذرة وغطفان. والحجر أيضا: جبل في بلاد غطفان.
والحجر أيضا حجر بني سليم: قرية لهم.

حُرُورٌ and ↓ أَحَارِرُ; (K;) the latter anomalous, both as to its measure and in the non-incorporation of the first ر into the second: it is mentioned on the authority of Az and others; but IDrd doubts its correctness; and the author of the Wá'ee mentions أَحَارُّ as a pl. form, but apparently to avoid contrariety to rule: the pl. of ↓ حَرَارَةٌ as a simple subst., or as an inf. n., but more probably as the former, is حَرَارَاتٌ. (TA.) b2: (assumed tropical:) A burning of the heart, from pain and wrath and distress or affliction or trouble or fatigue. (TA.) [See also حَرَارَةٌ.] b3: (assumed tropical:) Difficulty, or severity, of work. (TA.) A2: See also حَارٌّ: A3: and حَرَّةٌ: A4: and سَاقُ حُرٍّ, voce حُرٌّ.

حُرٌّ Free, ingenuous, or free-born; contr. of عَبْدٌ: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) fem. حُرَّةٌ: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) pl. masc. أَحْرَارٌ (Msb, K) and حِرَارٌ; (IJ, K;) not حَرَارٌ, as some say; nor is حِرَارٌ an inf. n. as well as a pl., as others say: (MF:) pl. fem. حَرَائِرُ, (Msb, K,) contr. to analogy, and, as Suh says, the only instance of the kind except شَجَرٌ مَرَائِرُ as pl. of شَجَرَةٌ مُرَّةٌ; for the [regular] pl. of فُعْلَةٌ is فْعَلٌ; but حُرَّةٌ has this form of pl. because it is syn. with كَرِيمَةٌ and عَقِيلَةٌ [as will be seen in what follows]; and مُرَّةٌ, because it means خَبِيثَةُ الطَّعْمِ. (Msb.) Omar said to the women who used to go forth to the mosque, لَأَرُدَّنَّكْنَّ حَرَائِرَ [lit. I will assuredly make you to become free women]; meaning I will assuredly make you to keep to the houses: for the curtain is lowered before free women; not before slavewomen. (TA.) [See also حُرِّيَّةٌ.] b2: (tropical:) Generous, noble, or well-born; like as عَبْدٌ is used to signify “ ignoble,” or “ base-born: ” (Mgh:) and so the fem. حُرَّةٌ; (S, Mgh, K;) applied to a woman; (TA;) and to a she-camel: (S:) and so the masc. applied to a horse. (K, TA.) [Hence,] بَاتَتْ بِلَيْلَةِ حُرَّةٍ (tropical:) [She passed a virgin's night] is said of her whose husband has not been able to devirginate her (S, A, K) in the night when she has been first brought to him: (TA:) because the حُرَّة is modest and repugnant: (Har p. 418:) in the contr. case one says, بِلَيْلَةِ شَيْبَآءَ: (S, L:) and one says also بِلَيْلَةٍ حُرَّةٍ; and بِلَيْلَةٍ شَيْبَآءَ. (TA.) [And hence,] لَيْلَةُ حُرَّة and لَيْلَةٌ حُرَّةٌ signify also (assumed tropical:) The first night of the [lunar] month: (K:) its last night is called لَيْلَةُ شَيْبَآءَ and لَيْلَةٌ شَيْبَآءُ. (TA.) You say also وَجْهٌ حُرٌّ (tropical:) [app. meaning An ingenuous countenance]. (A.) b3: (tropical:) Generous, or ingenuous, in conduct: as in the saying of Imra-el-Keys, لَعَمْرُكَ مَا قَلْبِى إِلَى أَهْلِهِ بِحْرْ [By thy life, my heart is not generous in conduct to its, or his, companion]; meaning that it is averse therefrom, and inclines to another. (Az, TA.) [Hence,] سَحَابَةٌ حُرَّةٌ (tropical:) A cloud bountiful with rain; (A;) or abounding with rain. (S, K.) b4: (tropical:) A good deed or action. (K, TA.)

(A.) b6: (tropical:) Good earth, or clay, and sand: (K, TA:) or earth, or clay, in which is no sand: (S, A:) and sand in which is no earth or clay: (S:) or sand that has good herbage: (A:) you say رَمْلَةٌ حُرَّةٌ; (S, A;) and the pl. is حَرَائِرُ: (S:) or sand in which is no mixture of any other thing: (Msb: [accord. to which, this is the primary meaning of the word, whence the meaning of “ free,” i. e. the “ contr. of عَبْدٌ: ” but accord. to the A and TA, it is tropical:]) and أَرْضٌ حُرَّةٌ (tropical:) land in which is no salt earth: (A:) or in which is no sand: as applied to that upon which no tithe is levied, it is post-classical. (Mgh.) b7: (tropical:) The middle, (S, A, K,) and best part, (TA,) of sand, (S, K, TA,) and of a house. (S, A, TA.) b8: (assumed tropical:) The best of anything; (K, TA;) as, for instance, of fruit. (TA.) b9: Also sing. of أَحْرَار in the term أَحْرَارُ البُقُولِ, (TA,) which means (tropical:) Herbs, or leguminous plants, that are eaten without being cooked; (S, A;) as also البُقُولِ ↓ حُرِّيَّةُ: (A:) or such as are slender and succulent; and ذُكُورُ البُقُولِ means “ such as are thick and rough: ” (AHeyth:) or the former are such as are slender and soft; and the latter, “such as are hard and thick: ” (TA in art. عشب:) or the former are such as are slender and sweet; and the latter, “ such as are thick, and inclining to bitterness: ” (TA in art. ذكر:) or the former are such as are rough; and these are three, namely, النَّفَلُ and الحُرْبُثُ and القَفْعَآءُ: or الحُرُّ is applied to a plant of the kind called النَّجِيل, growing in salt grounds. (TA.) b10: حُرُّ الوَجْهِ (tropical:) What appears of the face: (K, TA:) or what appears of the elevated part of the cheek; (S;) [i. e.] the ball, or most prominent place, of the cheek; (W p. 28;) and ↓ الحُرَّةُ signifies [the same, or] the elevated part of the cheek: (TA:) or the former is what fronts one, of the face: or the four tracks of the tears, from each corner of each eye. (TA.) One says, لَطَمَهُ عَلَى حُرِّ وَجْهِهِ (tropical:) [He slapped him on the ball of his cheek]. (S, TA. *) A2: The young one of a gazelle. (S, K.) b2: The young one of a serpent: (S, K:) or of a slender serpent: or it is a slender serpent, like the جَانّ, of a white colour: or a white serpent: or a serpent, absolutely. (TA.) b3: The young one of a pigeon: (S, K:) or the male thereof. (TA.) b4: سَاقُ حُرٍّ [is said to signify] The male of the قَمَارِىّ [or kind of collared turtle-doves of which the female is called قُمْرِيَّة (see قُمْرِىٌّ)]: (S, Msb, K:) Homeyd Ibn-Thowr says, وَمَا هَاجَ هٰذَا الشَّوْقَ إِلَّا حَمَامَةٌ دَعَتْ سَاقَ حُرٍّ تَرْحَةً وَتَرَنُّمَا [And nothing excited this desire but a pigeon (see حَمَامٌ) that called ساق حرّ, sorrowing and warbling]: or, accord. to IJ, the right reading is دَعَتْ سَاقَ حُرٍّ فِى حَمَامٍ تَرَنُّمَا [that called ساق حرّ among other pigeons, warbling]: but some say that الساق is the pigeon; and حرّ, its young one: or ساق حرّ is the cry of the قمارىّ, and is an onomatopœia: accord. to Aboo-'Adnán, it is ↓ ساق حَرّ, and means the warbling of the pigeon: and Sakhr El-Gheí makes it a compound, and indecl.; using the phrase, تُنَادِى

سَاقَ حُرَّ [she calls ساق حرّ]: on which IJ observes, As says, ساق حرّ is thought to mean the young one of the bird; but it is her cry: and he (IJ) adds, the fact that the poet [Sakhr] does not make it decl. is an evidence of the correctness of the assertion of As; for, were it decl., he would have said سَاقَ حُرٍّ if it consisted of two nouns whereof the former was prefixed to the other so as to govern it in the gen. case, or ساق حُرًّا if it were a compound; as it is indeterminate: and its being made decl. by Homeyd does not show it to be not significant of a sound; for sometimes an expression significant of a sound consists of two nouns whereof the former is prefixed to the latter so as to govern it in the gen. case, like خَازُ بَازٍ. (M, MF, TA.) حِرٌّ (Msb, K) and ↓ حِرٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, and K, in art. حرح) The vulva, or pudendum, of a woman: (Msb, K:) the former a dial. var. of the latter; (K;) originally حِرْحٌ [q. v.].

(S, K.) One says, رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِالحِرَّةِ تَحْتَ القِرَّةِ (A, K) May God afflict him by thirst with cold: and بِالحِرَّةِ وَالقِرَّةِ by thirst and cold. (TA.) And أَشَدُّ العَطَشِ حِرَّةٌ عَلَى قِرَّةٍ The most severe of thirst is thirst in a cold day. (S.)

مَأرِبٌ:
بهمزة ساكنة، وكسر الراء، والباء الموحدة، اسم المكان من الأرب وهي الحاجة، ويجوز أن يكون من قولهم: أرب يأرب إربا إذا صار ذا دهي، أو من أرب الرجل إذا احتاج إلى الشيء وطلبه، وأربت بالشيء: كلفت به، يجوز أن يكون اسم المكان من هذا كله: وهي بلاد الأزد باليمن، قال السّهيلي: مأرب اسم قصر كان لهم، وقيل: هو اسم لكل ملك كان يلي سبأ كما أن تبّعا اسم لكل من ولي اليمن والشحر وحضرموت، قال المسعودي: وكان هذا السُّد من بناء سبإ بن يشجب بن يعرب وكان سافله سبعين واديا ومات قبل أن يستتمّه فأتمته ملوك حمير بعده، قال المسعودي: بناه لقمان بن عاد وجعله فرسخا في فرسخ وجعل له ثلاثين مشعبا، وفي الحديث: أقطع رسول الله، صلّى الله عليه وسلّم، أبيض بن حمّال ملح مأرب، حدثني شيخ سديد فقيه محصّل من أهل صنعاء من ناحية شبام كوكبان وكان مستبينا متثبتا فيما يحكي قال: شاهدت مأرب وهي بين حضرموت وصنعاء، وبينها وبين صنعاء أربعة أيام، وهي قرية ليس بها عامر إلا ثلاث قرى يقال لها
الدروب إلى قبيلة من اليمن: فالأول من ناحية صنعاء درب آل الغشيب ثم درب كهلان ثم درب الحرمة، وكل واحد من هذه الدروب كاسمه درب طويل لا عرض له طوله نحو الميل كل دار إلى جنب الأخرى طولا وبين كل درب والآخر نحو فرسخين أو ثلاثة، وهم يزرعون على ماء جار يجيء من ناحية السّدّ فيسقون أرضهم سقية واحدة فيزرعون عليه ثلاث مرات في كل عام، قال: ويكون بين بذر الشعير وحصاده في ذلك الموضع نحو شهرين، وسألته عن سدّ مأرب فقال: هو بين ثلاثة جبال يصب ماء السيل إلى موضع واحد وليس لذلك الماء مخرج إلا من جهة واحدة فكان الأوائل قد سدوا ذلك الموضع بالحجارة الصلبة والرصاص فيجتمع فيه ماء عيون هناك مع ما يغيض من مياه السيول فيصير خلف السّد كالبحر فكانوا إذا أرادوا سقي زروعهم فتحوا من ذلك السدّ بقدر حاجتهم بأبواب محكمة وحركات مهندسة فيسقون حسب حاجتهم ثم يسدّونه إذا أرادوا، وقال عبيد الله بن قيس الرّقيات:
يا ديار الحبائب بين صنعا ومارب ... جادك السعد غدوة والثريّا بصائب
من هزيم كأنما يرتمي بالقواضب ... في اصطفاق ورنّة واعتدال المواكب
وأما خبر خراب سدّ مأرب وقصّة سيل العرم فإنه كان في ملك حبشان فأخرب الأمكنة المعمورة في أرض اليمن وكان أكثر ما أخرب بلاد كهلان بن سبإ بن يشجب بن يعرب وعامة بلاد حمير بن سبإ، وكان ولد حمير وولد كهلان هم سادة اليمن في ذلك الزمان، وكان عمرو بن عامر كبيرهم وسيدهم وهو جد الأنصار فمات عمرو بن عامر قبل سيل العرم وصارت الرياسة إلى أخيه عمران بن عامر الكاهن، وكان عاقرا لا يولد له ولد، وكان جوادا عاقلا، وكان له ولولد أخيه من الحدائق والجنان ما لم يكن لأحد من ولد قحطان، وكان فيهم امرأة كاهنة تسمى طريفة فأقبلت يوما حتى وقفت على عمران بن عامر وهو في نادي قومه فقالت: والظلمة والضياء، والأرض والسماء، ليقبلن إليكم الماء، كالبحر إذا طما، فيدع أرضكم خلاء، تسفي عليها الصّبا، فقال لها عمران:
ومتى يكون ذلك يا طريفة؟ فقالت: بعد ستّ عدد، يقطع فيها الوالد الولد، فيأتيكم السيل، بفيض هيل، وخطب جليل، وأمر ثقيل، فيخرّب الديار، ويعطل العشار، ويطيب العرار، قال لها: لقد فجعنا بأموالنا يا طريفة فبيّني مقالتك، قالت: أتاكم أمر عظيم، بسيل لطيم، وخطب جسيم، فاحرسوا السّد، لئلا يمتدّ، وإن كان لا بدّ من الأمر المعدّ، انطلقوا إلى رأس الوادي، فسترون الجرذ العادي، يجرّ كل صخرة صيخاد، بأنياب حداد، وأظفار شداد.
فانطلق عمران في نفر من قومه حتى أشرفوا على السّدّ، فإذا هم بجرذان حمر يحفرن السدّ الذي يليها بأنيابها فتقتلع الحجر الذي لا يستقلّه مائة رجل ثم تدفعه بمخاليب رجليها حتى يسدّ به الوادي مما يلي البحر ويفتح مما يلي السدّ، فلما نظروا إلى ذلك علموا انها قد صدقت، فانصرف عمران ومن كان معه من أهله، فلما استقرّ في قصره جمع وجوه قومه ورؤساءهم وأشرافهم وحدّثهم بما رأى وقال: اكتموا هذا الأمر عن إخوتكم من ولد حمير لعلّنا نبيع أموالنا وحدائقنا منهم ثم نرحل عن هذه الأرض، وسأحتال في ذلك بحيلة، ثم قال لابن أخيه حارثة: إذا اجتمع الناس إليّ فإني سآمرك بأمر فأظهر فيه العصيان فإذا ضربت رأسك بالعصا فقم إليّ فالطمني، فقال له: كيف يلطم
الرجل عمّه! فقال: افعل يا بنيّ ما آمرك فإن في ذلك صلاحك وصلاح قومك، فلما كان من الغد اجتمع إلى عمران أشراف قومه وعظماء حمير ووجوه رعيته مسلّمين عليه، فأمر حارثة بأمر فعصاه فضربه بمخصرة كانت في يده فوثب إليه فلطمه فأظهر عمران الأنفة والحمية وأمر بقتل ابن أخيه حتى شفع فيه، فلما أمسك عن قتله حلف أنه لا يقيم في أرض امتهن بها ولا بدّ من أن يرتحل عنها، فقال عظماء قومه: والله لا نقيم بعدك يوما واحدا! ثم عرضوا ضياعهم على البيع فاشتراها منهم بنو حمير بأعلى الأثمان وارتحلوا عن أرض اليمن فجاء بعد رحيلهم بمديدة السبل وكان ذلك الجرذ قد خرّب السدّ فلم يجد مانعا فغرّق البلاد حتى لم يبق من جميع الأرضين والكروم إلا ما كان في رؤوس الجبال والأمكنة البعيدة مثل ذمار وحضرموت وعدن ودهيت الضياع والحدائق والجنان والقصور والدور وجاء السيل بالرمل وطمّها فهي على ذلك إلى اليوم، وباعد الله بين أسفارهم كما ذكروا فتفرّقوا عباديد في البلدان، ولما انفصل عمران وأهله من بلد اليمن عطف ثعلبــة العنقاء بن عمرو بن عامر ماء السماء بن حارثة الغطريف بن امرئ القيس البطريق ابن ثعلبــة البهلول بن مازن بن الأزد بن الغوث نحو الحجاز فأقام ما بين الــثعلبــية إلى ذي قار وباسمه سميت الــثعلبــية فنزلها بأهله وولده وماشيته ومن يتبعه فأقام ما بين الــثعلبــية وذي قار يتتبع مواقع المطر، فلما كبر ولده وقوي ركنه سار نحو المدينة وبها ناس كثير من بني إسرائيل متفرّقون في نواحيها فاستوطنوها وأقاموا بها بين قريظة والنضير وخيبر وتيماء ووادي القرى ونزل أكثرهم بالمدينة إلى أن وجد عزّة وقوّة فأجلى اليهود عن المدينة واستخلصها لنفسه وولده فتفرّق من كان بها من اليهود وانضموا إلى إخوانهم الذين كانوا بخيبر وفدك وتلك النواحي وأقام ثعلبــة وولده بيثرب فابتنوا فيها الآطام وغرسوا فيها النخل فهم الأنصار الأوس والخزرج أبناء حارثة بن ثعلبــة العنقاء بن عمرو مزيقياء، وانخزع عنهم عند خروجهم من مأرب حارثة ابن عمرو مزيقياء بن عامر ماء السماء وهو خزاعة فافتتحوا الحرم وسكانه جرهم وكانت جرهم أهل مكة فطغوا وبغوا وسنّوا في الحرم سننا قبيحة وفجر رجل منهم كان يسمى إساف بامرأة يقال لها نائلة في جوف الكعبة فمسخا حجرين، وهما اللذان أصابهما بعد ذلك عمرو بن لحيّ ثم حسّن لقومه عبادتهما، كما ذكرته في إساف، فأحب الله تعالى أن يخرج جرهما من الحرم لسوء فعلهم، فلما نزل عليهم خزاعة حاربوهم حربا شديدة فظفّر الله خزاعة بهم فنفوا جرهما من الحرم إلى الحلّ فنزلت خزاعة الحرم ثم إن جرهما تفرّقوا في البلاد وانقرضوا ولم يبق لهم أثر، ففي ذلك يقول شاعرهم:
كأن لم يكن بين الحجون إلى الصفا ... أنيس، ولم يسمر بمكة سامر
بلى! نحن كنّا أهلها فأبادنا ... صروف الليالي والجدود العواثر
وكنّا ولاة البيت من قبل نابت ... نطوف بذاك البيت والخير ظاهر
وعطف عمران بن عمرو مزيقياء بن عامر ماء السماء مفارقا لأبيه وقومه نحو عمان وقد كان انقرض بها من طسم وجديس ابني إرم فنزلها وأوطنها وهم أزد عمان منهم وهم العتيك آل المهلّب وغيرهم، وسارت قبائل نصر بن الأزد وهم قبائل كثيرة منهم دوس رهط أبي هريرة وغامد وبارق وأحجن والجنادبة وزهران وغيرهم نحو تهامة فأقاموا بها وشنئوا قومهم أو شنئهم قومهم إذ لم ينصروهم في حروبهم أعني حروب
الذين قصدوا مكة فحاربوا جرهم والذين قصدوا المدينة فحاربوا اليهود فهم أزد شنوءة، ولما تفرّقت قضاعة من تهامة بعد الرحب التي جرت بينهم وبين نزار بن معدّ سارت بليّ وبهراء وخولان بنو عمران ابن الحاف بن قضاعة ومن لحق بهم إلى بلاد اليمن فوغلوا فيها حتى نزلوا مأرب أرض سبإ بعد افتراق الأزد عنها وخروجهم منها، فأقاموا بها زمانا ثم أنزلوا عبدا لأراشة بن عبيلة بن فران بن بليّ يقال له أشعب بئرا لهم بمأرب ودلّوا عليه دلاءهم ليملأها لهم، فطفق العبد يملأ لمواليه وسادته ويؤثرهم ويبطئ عن زيد الله بن عامر بن عبيلة بن قسميل فغضب من ذلك فحطّ عليه صخرة وقال: دونك يا أشعب، فأصابته فقتلته فوقع الشر بينهم لذلك واقتتلوا حتى تفرّقوا، فيقول قضاعة:
إن خولان أقامت باليمن فنزلوا مخلاف خولان، وإن مهرة أقامت هناك وصارت منازلهم الشحر ولحق عامر بن زيد الله بن عامر بن عبيلة بن قسميل بسعد العشيرة فهم فيهم زيد الله، فقال المثلّم بن قرط البلوي:
ألم تر أن الحيّ كانوا بغبطة ... بمأرب إذ كانوا يحلّونها معا
بليّ وبهراء وخولان إخوة ... لعمرو بن حاف فرع من قد تفرّعا
أقام به خولان بعد ابن أمه ... فأثرى لعمري في البلاد وأوسعا
فلم أر حيّا من معدّ عمارة ... أجلّ بدار العزّ منّا وأمنعا
وهذا أيضا دليل على أن قضاعة من سعد، والله أعلم، وسار جفنة بن عمرو بن عامر إلى الشام وملكوها فهذه الأزد باقية وأما باقي قبائل اليمن فتفرّقت في البلاد بما يطول شرحه، وقد ذكرت الشعراء مأرب فقال المثلم بن قرط البلوي:
ألم تر أن الحيّ كانوا بغبطة ... بمأرب إذ كانوا يحلّونها معا
وقد ذكرت وقد ذكر الله سبحانه وتعالى في محكم كتابه قصة مأرب فقال: فَأَرْسَلْنا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ، 34: 16 كما ذكرناه في العرم، والعرم: المسنّاة التي كانت قد أحكمت لتكون حاجزا بين ضياعهم وحدائقهم وبين السيل ففجّرته فأرة ليكون أظهر في الأعجوبة كما أفار الله الطوفان من جوف التنور ليكون ذلك أثبت في العبرة وأعجب في الأمة ولذلك قال خالد بن صفوان التميمي لرجل من أهل اليمن كان قد فخر عليه بين يدي السفاح: ليس فيهم يا أمير المؤمنين إلا دابغ جلد أو ناسج برد أو سائس قرد أو راكب عرد، غرّقتهم فأرة وملكتهم امرأة ودلّ عليهم هدهد، وقال الأعشى:
ففي ذاك للمؤتسي أسوة، ... ومأرب عفّى عليها العرم
رخام بنته لهم حمير ... إذا ما نأى ماؤهم لم يرم
فأروى الزّروع وأغنامها ... على سعة ماؤهم إن قسم
وطار القيول وقيلاتها ... بيهماء فيها سراب يطم
فكانوا بذلكم حقبة ... فمال بهم جارف منهزم
قال أحمد بن محمد: ومأرب أيضا قصر عظيم عالي الجدران، وفيه قال الشاعر:
أما ترى مأربا ما كان أحصنه، ... وما حواليه من سور وبنيان
ظلّ العباديّ يسقي فوق قلّته، ... ولم يهب ريب دهر جدّ خوّان
حتى تناوله من بعد ما هجعوا ... يرقى إليه على أسباب كتّان
وقال جهم بن خلف:
ولم تدفع الأحساب عن ربّ مأرب ... منيّته وما حواليه من قصر
ترقّى إليه تارة بعد هجعة ... بأمراس كتّان أمرّت على شزر
وقد نسب إلى مأرب يحيى بن قيس المأربي الشيباني، روى عن ثمامة بن شراحيل، وروى عنه أبو عمرو محمد ومحمد بن بكر، ذكره البخاري في تاريخه، وسعيد بن أبيض بن حمّال المأربي، روى عن أبيه وعن فروة بن مسيك العطيفي، روى عنه ابنه ثابت ابن سعيد، ذكره ابن أبي حاتم، وثابت بن سعيد المأربي، حدث عن أبيه، روى عنه ابن أخيه فرج ابن سعيد بن علقمة بن سعيد بن أبيض بن حمّال المأربي الشيباني، هكذا نسبه ابن أبي حاتم، وقال أبو أحمد في الكنى: أبو روح الفرج بن سعيد أراه ابن علقمة بن سعيد بن أبيض بن حمّال المأربي عن خالد بن عمرو بن سعيد بن العاصي، وعمه ثابت بن سعيد المأربي، روى عنه أبو صالح محبوب بن موسى الأنطاكي وعبد الله بن الزبير الجندي، وقال أبو حاتم: جبر بن سعيد أخو فرج بن سعيد، روى عنه أخوه جبير بن سعيد المأربي، سألت أبي عن فرج بن سعيد فقال لا بأس به، ومنصور بن شيبة من أهل مأرب، روى عنه فرج بن سعيد بن علقمة المأربي، ذكره ابن أبي حاتم أيضا في ترجمة فرج ابن سعيد.
