1 حَشَرَ, aor. ـُ and حَشِرَ, (S, Msb, K,) the former of which aor. . is found in the seven readings of the Kur, (Msb,) inf. n. حَشْرٌ, (S, Msb, K,) He congregated, or collected together, (S, Msb, K,) men: (S, Msb:) or he congregated them, or collected them together, and drove them: (Msb, TA:) he made them to go forth, collected together, from one place to another: (Bd in lix. 2:) he, or it, compelled them to emigrate: (K, * TA: [in the CK الخَلَآءُ is put by mistake for الجَلَاءُ, the explanation of the inf. n.:]) and [simply] he drove towards a place or quarter. (TA.) Hence يَوْمُ الحَشْرِ (tropical:) [The day of congregation, &c.; meaning] the day of resurrection: (S, * TA:) [see also مَحْشِرٌ:] and سُورَةُ الحَشْرِ (tropical:) [The Chapter of the Compulsion to emigration; which is the fifty-ninth chapter of the Kur-an]. (TA.) It is said by most of the expositors of the Kur that the wild animals and other beasts, and even the flies, will be collected together (تُحْشَرُ) for retaliation; and they cite a trad. on this subject. (TA.) So in the Kur [lxxxi. 5], وَ إِذَا الوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ And when the wild animals shall be collected together, (Bd, Jel,) from every quarter, (Bd,) after resurrection; (Jel;) or raised to life, (Bd,) for the purpose of their retaliating, one upon another; after which they shall return to dust: (Bd, Jel:) or the meaning is, shall die, (Az, S,) in the present world; accord. to some: (Az:) and thus says 'Ikrimeh, (S, TA,) on the authority of I'Ab, (TA,) as is related by Sa'eed Ibn-Masrook: (S, TA:) but accord. to some, the two meanings are nearly the same; for each denotes collection. (TA.) حَشْرٌ also signifies The going forth with a people fleeing or hastening or dispersing themselves in war; when used absolutely. (TA.) b2: حَشَرَتْهُمُ السَّنَةُ, aor. ـُ and حَشِرَ (Lth,) inf. n. حَشْرٌ, (K,) (tropical:) The year of dearth destroyed their camels and other quadrupeds; because it causes the owners to collect themselves from the various quarters to the cities or towns: (Lth:) or it caused them to go down to the cities or towns: (A:) or it distressed them; app., because of their collecting themselves together from the desert to the places of settled abodes: (Abu-t- Teiyib:) and حَشَرَتِ السَّنَةُ مَالَ فُلَانٍ The year of dearth destroyed the camels &c. of such a one. (S, K. *) A2: حَشَرَهُ, (S, A,) inf. n. حَشْرٌ, (S, K,) (tropical:) He made it (a spear-head, S, A) thin, or slender: (S, A, K:) he made it (a spear-head, and a knife,) sharp, or pointed, and thin, or slender: (TA:) he made it small, and thin, or slender: (Th:) he pared it; namely, a stick: (TA:) he pared it, and made it sharp, or pointed. (S.) 7 انحشروا They (people) became collected together from the desert to the places of settled abodes. (Abu-t-Teiyib.) حَشْرٌ (tropical:) Anything thin, or slender, or elegant. (TA.)

(TA.) حَشْرٌ is also applied in the same sense as an epithet to other things. (S) You say قُذَّةٌ حَشْرٌ (tropical:) A thin, or an elegant, feather of an arrow; (Lth, S, A, K;) as though it were pared: (Lth:) or sharp-pointed. (TA.) Also سِنَانٌ حَشْرٌ (tropical:) A thin, or slender, spear-head: (S, K:) or sharp, or sharp-pointed: and سِكِّينٌ حَشْرٌ in like manner: and حَرْبَةٌ حَشْرَةٌ: (TA:) and سَهْمٌ حَشْرٌ, and سِهَامٌ حُشْرٌ: like جَوْنٌ and جُونٌ, and وَرْدٌ and وُرْدٌ: (Akh, S:) or سَهْمٌ حَشْرٌ signifies an arrow having straight, or even, feathers; and so ↓ سهم مَحْشُورٌ; and ↓ حَشِرٌ, of the same measure as كَتِفٌ, an arrow having good feathers attached to it.

(TA.) حَاشِرٌ One who congregates, or collects together, people. (TA.) With the article ال, applied to Mohammad; (S, K;) because he collects people after him (S, IAth) and to his religion. (IAth.) b2: A collector of spoils: (El-Hulwánee, Mgh:) and [its pl.] حُشَّارٌ signifies collectors of the tithes and poll-tax. (TA.) مَحْشِرٌ (S, K) and مَحْشَرٌ (K) A place of congregation: (S, K:) a term used when people are collected together to a town or country, and to an encampment, and the like. (TA.) Hence, يَوْمُ المَحْشِرِ [The day of the place of congregation; meaning the day of judgment]. (TA.) مَحْشُورٌ; and its fem., with ة: see حَشْرٌ.

(S, K.) 5 تحنّف: see 1, in two places. b2: [Hence,] He did according to the حَنِيفِيَّة; (S, K;) i. e. the law of Abraham, which is the religion of ElIslám: (TA:) or he became circumcised: or he turned away from the worship of idols; (S, K;) and became, or made himself, a servant of God; or applied, or devoted, himself to religious services or exercises. (S.) [See تَحَنَّثَ.]

حَنَفٌ, originally, A natural wryness: and particularly an inversion of the foot, so that the upper side becomes the lower: so says IDrd; (Mgh;) or a crookedness in the leg, or foot; (S, O, K;) i. e., (S, O, but in the K “ or ”) a turning of one of the great toes towards the other: (S, O, K:) or [a distortion that causes] one's walking on the outer part of the foot, on the side in which is the little toe: (K: [and so accord. to an explanation of ↓ أَحْنَفُ by IAar cited in the S:]) or an inclining [app. inwards] in the fore part of the foot. (Lth, K.) b2: Accord. to Ibn-'Arafeh and the K, it signifies also A right state or condition or tendency; and accord. to the former, the epithet ↓ أَحْنَفُ is applied to him who has a wry leg, or foot, only by way of presaging a right state: but Er-Rághib explains حَنَفٌ better, as signifying an inclining, from error, to a right state or tendency. (TA.) حَنَفِيَّةٌ The persons called in relation to the Imám Aboo-Haneefeh [because they hold his tenets]; as also ↓ أَحْنَافٌ. (TA.) حَنَفِىٌّ [is its n. un.: and] signifies [also] one who is of the religion of Abraham. (Mgh.

(Lth, L, K.) حَنِيفٌ Inclining to a right state or tendency: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or right, or having a right state or tendency; (Akh, S, TA;) thus applied in like manner as أَعْوَرُ is applied to a crow: (S:) [and particularly] inclining, from one religion, to another: (Ham p. 358:) or inclining, from any false religion, to the true religion: (Mgh:) or inclining in a perfect manner to El-Islám, and continuing firm therein: (K:) and any one who has performed the pilgrimage: (As, K, TA:) so say I'Ab and El-Hasan and Es-Suddee; and Az says the like on the authority of Ed-Dahhák: (TA:) or one who is of the religion of Abraham, (K, TA,) in respect of making the Sacred House [of Mekkeh] his kibleh, and of the rite of circumcision: (TA:) [and] a Muslim; (S, Mgh, Msb;) because he inclines to the right religion: (Msb:) but in this last sense, it is a conventional term of the professors: (Mgh:) [or,] accord. to AO, the worshipper of idols, in the Time of Ignorance, called himself thus; and when El-Islám came, they thus called the Muslim: accord. to Akh, it was applied in the Time of Ignorance to him who was circumcised, and who performed the pilgrimage to the [Sacred] House; because the Arabs in the Time of Ignorance held nothing of the religion of Abraham except circumcision and that pilgrimage: accord. to Ez-Zejjájee, it was applied in the Time of Ignorance to him who made the pilgrimage to the [Sacred] House and performed the ablution on account of جَنَابَة and was circumcised; and when El-Islám came, it was applied to the Muslim, because of his turning from the belief in a plurality of gods: (TA:) also one who devotes himself to religious exercises; or applies himself to devotion: (Msb:) its predominant application is to Abraham: (Mgh:) pl. حُنَفَآءُ. (AO, TA.) b2: [Hence,] حَسَبٌ حَنِيفٌ Recent [grounds of pretension to respect or honour]; of the time of El-Islám; not old. (TA.) A2: Short. (K.) A3: A maker of sandals. (K.) حُنَيْفٌ: see أَحْنَفُ.

حَنِيفِيَّةٌ, accord. to Th and Zj, An inclining to a thing: but ISd says that this explanation is nought. (TA.) b2: The law of Abraham; which is the religion of El-Islám: also termed مِلَّةٌ حَنِيفِيَّةٌ. (TA.) b3: See also حَنَفِيَّةٌ.

أَحْنَفُ Having that kind of distortion which is termed حَنَفٌ as explained above; (S, Msb, K;) applied to a man: (S, Msb:) and so [the fem.]

حَنْفَآءُ applied to a leg or foot: (K:) accord. to IAar, one who walks on the outer part of his foot, (S,) or of his feet, (Msb,) on the side in which is the little toe: (S:) or who has one of his great toes turning towards the other: (Mgh:) its abbreviated dim. is ↓ حُنَيْفٌ.

بوب

1 بَابَ لَهُ, aor. ـُ (M, K,) quasi-inf. n., if there be such a verb, بِوَابَةٌ, with the و not changed into ى because it is not an inf. n. properly speaking, but a subst., (Lth, T,) He was, or became, a door-keeper, or gate-keeper, to him; (M, K;) namely, a Sultán (M) [or other person].2 بوّب [app., (assumed tropical:) He practised what are termed أَبْوَابُ الحَرْبِ, meaning the expedients, tricks, or stratagems, of war, battle, or fight. b2: And hence,] (assumed tropical:) He charged upon, attacked, or assaulted, the enemy. (AA, T.) A2: بَوَّبْتُ الأَشْيَآءَ (assumed tropical:) I made the things to be divided into distinct أَبْوَاب [meaning kinds, or sorts; or I disposed, arranged, distributed, or classified, the things under distinct heads]. (Msb.) And بوّب الأَبْوَابَ (assumed tropical:) [He disposed, arranged, distributed, classified, or set in order, the kinds, sorts, classes, chapters, heads, or the like]. (TA voce أَصَّلَ, q. v.) And بوّب المُؤَلِّفُ كِتَابَهُ (assumed tropical:) [The author disposed, or divided, his book in, or into, distinct chapters]. (A.) [See بَابٌ.]5 تبوّب, (A,) or تبوّب بَوَّابًا, (S, M, K,) He took for himself a door-keeper, or gate-keeper. (S, M, A, K.) بَابٌ, originally بَوَبٌ, (M, Msb,) A door; a gate; a place of entrance: and the thing with which a place of entrance, such as a door or gate, is closed; of wood &c.: (MF, TA:) pl. أَبْوَابٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and بِيبَانٌ (M, K) and أَبْوِبَةٌ, (S, M, K,) [a pl. of pauc., said to be] only used for conformity with another word mentioned therewith, as in the saying (of Ibn-Mukbil, so in a copy of the S), هَتَّاكُ أَخْبِيَةٍ وَ لَّاجُ أَبْوِبَةٍ

[A frequent render of tents, a frequent enterer of doors], (S, M,) not being allowable when occurring alone; (S;) but IAar and Lh assert that it is a pl. of باب without its being used for conformity with another word; (M;) and this is extr.; (M, K;) for باب is of the measure فَعَلٌ, and a word of this measure has not a pl. of the measure أَفْعِلَةٌ [by rule]. (M.) You say, بَابٌ الدَّارِ [The door of the house]; and بَابُ البَيْتِ [the door of the house, and of the chamber, and of the tent]; (Msb;) and بَابُ البَلَدِ [the gate of the town or city]. (The Lexicons &c. passim.) and Bishr Ibn-Abee-Házim assigns a باب to a grave; calling the latter a بَيْت. (M.) It is also applied to an opening, or a channel, made for water, to irrigate seed-produce: pl. أَبْوَابٌ. (Mgh.) [and in Egypt, it is applied also to A sepulchral chamber, grotto, or cave, hewn in a mountain; from the Coptic βηβ: pl. بِيبَانٌ only.] b2: Hence, i. e. in a secondary application, the primary signification being “ a place of entrance,” it is used as meaning (tropical:) A means of access, or of attainment, to a thing: (B, Kull, TK:) as in the saying, هٰذَا العِلْمُ بَابٌ إِلَى عِلْمِ كَذَا (tropical:) This science is a means of attainment to such a science. (B, TK.) b3: [And hence, (assumed tropical:) An expedient, a trick, a stratagem, or a process, by which something is to be effected pl. أَبْوَابٌ: as in أَبْوَابُ الحَرْبِ the expedients. &c. of war, battle, or fight; and بَابٌ مِنَ النُّجُومِ a process of the science of the stars, meaning astrology or astronomy; and بَابٌ مِنَ السِّحْرِ a process of enchantment; see an ex. voce سِحْرٌ. Compare Matt. xvi. 18, πύλαι ᾅδου οὐ κατισχύσουσιν αύτης, probably meaning “ the stratagems of Hell shall not prevail against it. ”] b4: [Also (assumed tropical:) A mode, kind, sort, class, or category.] Suweyd Ibn-Kuráa uses metaphorically the pl. أَبْوَاب in relation to rhymes; saying, أَتَيْتُ بِأَبْوَابِ القَوَافِى كَأَنَّمَا

أَذُودُ بِهَا سِرْبًا مِنَ الوَحْشِ نُزَّعَا (tropical:) [I gave utterance to the various kinds of rhymes as though I were driving with them a herd of wild animals desirous of the males, or of their wonted places of pasture]. (M, L.) [You say also, هُوَ مِنْ هٰذَا البَابِ (assumed tropical:) It is of this mode, kind, sort, class, or category: a phrase of frequent occurrence in lexicons &c. See also بَابَةٌ.] b5: [Also (assumed tropical:) A chapter; and sometimes a section, or subdivision, of a chapter; of a book or writing;] conventionally, (assumed tropical:) a piece consisting of words relating to matters of one kind; and sometimes, to matters of one species: (Kull:) pl. أَبْوَابٌ. (A.) See also بَابَةٌ. b6: [Also (assumed tropical:) A head, or class of items or articles, in an account, or a reckoning; as in the saying,] بَيَّنْتُ لَهُ حِسَابَهُ بَابًا بَابًا (assumed tropical:) [I explained, or made clear, to him his account, or reckoning, head by head, or each class of items or articles by itself]; a phrase mentioned by Sb: (M:) [or, sometimes,] بَابٌ (M, K) and ↓ بَابَةٌ (T, M, K) are used in relation to حُدُود [which here means the punishments so termed], and to an account, or a reckoning, (T, M, K,) and the like, (T, M,) as signifying the extreme term or limit; syn. غَايَةٌ; (M, K;) but IDrd hesitated respecting this, and therefore it is not mentioned in the S. (TA.) بَابَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A mode, or manner; syn. وَجْهٌ: (ISk, K:) pl. بَابَاتٌ. (K.) [See also بَابٌ, which has a similar, and perhaps the same, signification.] Hence, هٰذَا مِنْ بَابَتِى means (assumed tropical:) This is of the mode, or manner, that I desire; (TA;) this is suitable to me: (IAmb, TA:) and هٰذَا شَىْءٌ مِنْ بَابَتِكَ, (S,) or هٰذَا بَابَتُكَ, (A,) (assumed tropical:) this is a thing suitable to thee: (S, A:) and هٰذَا بَابَتُهُ (assumed tropical:) this is suitable to him. (K.) Accord. to most of the critics, it is tropical. (TA.) You say also, فُلَانٌ

أَهْوَنُ بَابَاتِهِ الكَذِبُ (assumed tropical:) Such a one, the lightest of the kinds (أَنْوَاع) of his wickedness is lying. (A.) b2: (assumed tropical:) A habit: a property; a quality; nature; natural disposition: or a practice; or an action: syn. خَصْلَةٌ. (Abu-l-'Omeythil, TA.) [Hence, perhaps, the last of the exs. cited above from the A.] b3: (assumed tropical:) A condition; syn. شَرْطٌ: as in the saying, هذَا بَابَةُ هٰذَا (assumed tropical:) [This is the condition of this]. (M, K. *) b4: بَابَاتُ الكِتَابِ (assumed tropical:) The lines of the book or writing: (M, A, K:) or it may mean its ↓ أَبْوَاب [i. e. chapters, or sections of chapters]: (M:) this has no sing.: (A, K:) [ISd says,] I have not heard any sing. of it. (M.) b5: See also بَابٌ; last signification.

بَوْبَاةٌ A desert; or a desert in which is no water; syn. فَلَاةٌ: (T, IJ, M, K:) as also مَوْمَاةٌ; (T, MF;) the ب being changed into م, as is often the case. (MF.) [It is mentioned in the S, and again in the K, in art. بو, as syn. with مَفَازَةٌ.]

بِوَابَةٌ The office, or occupation, of a door-keeper, or gate-keeper. (M, K.) [See 1.]

بَوَّابٌ A door-keeper, or gate-keeper. (S, * M, Msb, K, TA.) أَبْوَابٌ مُبَوَّبَةٌ (assumed tropical:) [Kinds, sorts, classes, chapters, heads, or the like, disposed, arranged, distributed, classified, or set in order,] is a phrase similar to أَصْنَافٌ مُصَنَّفَةٌ. (S.) You say also كِتَابٌ مُبَوَّبٌ (assumed tropical:) [A book disposed in, or divided into, distinct chapters]. (A.) Quasi بوج بَاجٌ; pl. أَبْوَاجٌ: see art. بأج. Az mentions it as without ء: ISk, as with ء. (ISd, TA.)

[As such,] He spread it; spread it out, or forth; expanded it; extended it; (S, Msb, K, B;) as also ↓بسّطهُ: (K:) and he made it wide, or ample: these are the primary significations; and sometimes both of them may be conceived; and sometimes, one of them: and the verb is also used, metaphorically, as relating to anything which cannot be conceived as composed or constructed: (B:) and بَصْطٌ is the same as بَسْطٌ, (S, and K in art. بصط,) in all its meanings. (K.) You say, بَسَطَ الثَّوْبَ [He spread, spread out, expanded, or unfolded, the garment, or piece of cloth]. (Msb.) And بَسَطَ رِجْلَهُ (tropical:) [He stretched forth, or extended, his leg]. (TA.)

(M, TA.) بَسْطُ اليَدِ and الكَفِّ is sometimes used to denote assaulting and smiting: [as in the last of the exs. given above; and] as in the words of the Kur [lx. 2], وَيَبُسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوْءِ (tropical:) [And they will stretch forth towards you their hands and their tongues with evil]; (TA;) i. e., by slaying, (Bd, Jel,) and smiting, (Jel,) and reviling.

(K, TA.)

(TA.) b4: [Hence also,] بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ الرِّزْقَ (assumed tropical:) God multiplied, or made abundant, and amplified, enlarged, or made ample or plentiful, the means of subsistence.

And] بَسَطَهُ, alone, [signifies the same; or] (tropical:) it rejoiced him; rendered him joyous, or cheerful: (M, K, TA:) because, when a man is rejoiced, his countenance becomes unwrinkled (يَنْبَسِطُ), and he becomes changed [and cheerful] in [its] complexion: it is wrongly said, by MF, to be not tropical: that it is tropical is asserted by Z, in the A: MF also says that it is not post-classical; and in this he is right; for it occurs in a saying of Mohammad: thus in a trad. respecting Fátimeh, يَبْسُطُنِى مَا يَبْسُطُهَا What rejoices her rejoices me: (TA:) [see also قَبَضَهُ, where this saying is cited according to another relation:] ↓أَبْسَطَنِى [as signifying (tropical:) it rejoiced me] is a mistake of the vulgar [obtaining in the present day].

(Mgh.) You say, مَلَكَ بُضْعَهَا, i. e. جِمَاعَهَا. (Msb.) And it is said in a prov., ↓ كَمُعَلِّمَةِ أُمَّهَا البِضَاعَ (tropical:) [Like her who teaches her mother المُجَامَعَة].

requires to be supplied in the explanation, and is indicated by the context.]) 10 اِسْتِبْضَاعٌ denotes a kind of matrimonial connection practised by people in the Time of Ignorance; i. e., A woman's desiring sexual intercourse with a man only to obtain offspring by him: a man of them used to say to his female slave or his wife, أَرْسِلِى إِلَى فُلَان فَآسْتَبْضِعِى مِنْهُ [Send thou to such a one, and demand of him sexual intercourse to obtain offspring]; and he used to separate himself from her, and not touch her, until her pregnancy by that man became apparent: and this he did from a desire of obtaining generous offspring. (IAth, TA.) A2: See also 4, in two places.

بَضْعٌ: see بِضْعٌ, first sentence, and near the end: and see also بَضْعَةٌ.

بُضْعٌ Initus; sexual intercourse: (Mgh, Msb, K:) a subst., (Mgh, Msb, TA,) accord. to some; but accord. to others, an inf. n.; (Msb;) held by Sb to be the latter: (TA:) [see 1:] and marriage; or the taking in marriage; syn. نِكَاحٌ; (ISk, S, Msb, TA;) [which has also the first of the meanings given above;] as in the phrase مَلَكَ فُلَانٌ بُضْعَ فُلَانَةَ [explained above (see 1)]: (ISk, S:) or, (K,) in this phrase, (Mgh,) (tropical:) the pudendum muliebre; the vulva; (Az, Mgh, Msb, K, * TA;) and so in the saying, in a trad., عُتِقَ بُضْعُكِ فَاخْتَارِى (tropical:) Thy vulva hath become freed, therefore choose thou whether thou wilt remain with thy husband or separate thyself from him; (TA;) and in the saying, تُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَآءُ فِى أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ, accord. to those who thus relate it, others saying إِبْضَاعِهِنَّ; (see 4;) أَبْضَاعٌ being pl. of بُضْعٌ. (Mgh, Msb.) b2: Also (tropical:) The marriage-contract. (K.) b3: And (tropical:) A dowry; or gift given to, or for, a bride: (K, TA:) pl. بُضُوعٌ. (TA.) So in the saying of 'Amr Ibn-Maadee-Kerib, وَفِى كَعْبٍ وَإِخْوَتِهَا كِلَابٍ

سَوَامِى الطَّرْفِ غَالِيَةُ البُضُوعِ [And among Kaab, and their brethren Kiláb, are females lofty in look, or] proud, and dear in respect of dowries. (TA.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) Divorce: (Az, K:) thus having two contr. significations. (K.) b5: And (assumed tropical:) The authority possessed over a woman by her guardian who affiances her. (TA.) b6: And (assumed tropical:) An equal; particularly as a suitor in a case of marriage: as in the saying, in a trad., هٰذَا البُضْعُ لَا يُقْرَعُ أَنْفُهُ (assumed tropical:) This equal‘s marriage shall not be refused, nor shall it be desired, or wished for; he shall not be rejected. (TA.) بِضْعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ بَضْعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) some of the Arabs pronouncing it with kesr, (S, Msb,) [A number under ten; and an odd number, meaning] a number between two round, or decimal, numbers; (Az, K;) from one to ten [exclusive of the latter]; and from eleven to twenty [exclusive of the latter]; so accord. to Mebremán; (K;) i. e. Mohammad Ibn-'Alee Ibn-Ismá'eel the Lexicologist, Mebremán being his surname: (TA:) or from three to nine; (S, Msb, K [in the first and last the ns. being in the fem. gender; but in the second, masc.];) so accord. to Katádeh; (Mgh;) from three to less than ten: (Fr [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or not less than three nor more than ten; (Sh [the first n. of number in the fem. gender, and the second masc.];) from three to ten: (Mgh [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or to seven: (Mujáhid, Mgh:) or to five: (AO, K [the n. of number in the fem. gender]:) or from one to four: (AO, O, K [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or to five; an explanation ascribed to AO: (TA:) or from four to nine; (ISd, K [the ns. of number fem.];) and this is the signification preferred by Th: (TA:) or it signifies five: (Mukátil [this n. of number masc.]:) or seven; (Mukátil, K [in the K this n. of number being fem.];) so accord. to some: (AO:) or ten: (Ed-Dahhák [this n. of number masc.]:) or an undefined number; غَيْرُ مَحْدُودٍ; so says Sgh; [and the like is said in the Msb;] in the K, erroneously, غَيْرُ مَعْدُودٍ; (TA;) because it means a portion, (Sgh, K,) which is undefined: (Sgh, TA:) it also signifies, with ten, [in like manner; i. e. ten and a number under ten; or the like: as] from thirteen to nineteen. (Msb.) When used as signifying from three to nine, (Mgh, Msb,) or to ten, or to seven, (Mgh,) [or to signify some number under ten, without another n. of number,] it is masc. and fem. without variation: (Mgh, Msb:) you say بِضْعُ رِجَالٍ

From three to nine [&c.] men: and بِضْعُ نِسْوَةٍ

from three to nine [&c.] women: (Msb:) and بِضْعُ سِنِينَ from three to nine [&c.] years: (S:) and فِى بِضْعِ سِنِينَ [in from three to nine, &c., years]: (Kur xxx. 3:) and فَلَبِثَ فِى السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ [And he remained in the prison from three to nine, &c., years]. (Kur xii. 42.) But when used to denote a number above ten, (Mgh, Msb,) with a masc. n. it is with ة, (↓ بِضْعَة,) and with a fem. n. it is without ة: (ISk, Mgh, Msb, K:) you say بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا From thirteen to nineteen [&c.] men: and بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً from thirteen to nineteen [&c.] women: (S, Mgh, * TA:) like as you say ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا and ثَلَاثَ عَشْرةَ امْرَأَةً. (Mgh.) When you have passed the word denoting ten, (S, K,) [i. e.] to denote a number above twenty, (Msb,) it is not used: (S, Msb, K:) you do not say بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ, (S, K,) but نَيِّفٌ وَعِشْرُونَ; and so in the cases of the remaining numbers: (S:) or you do say بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ: (Sgh, K:) accord. to Az, (Msb,) you say بِضْعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا (Mgh, Msb, K) meaning Twenty and odd men: (Az, TA:) and بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ امْرَأَةً (Mgh, Msb, K) meaning twenty and odd women: (Az, TA:) but not the reverse: (K:) ISd says, we have not heard this, but there is no objection to it: (TA:) and Fr says, بِضْعٌ is not mentioned save with ten and twenty to ninety; (IB, K;) not with what exceeds this: (IB:) you do not say بِضْعٌ وَمِائَةٌ nor بِضْعٌ وَأَلْفٌ, (IB, K,) but مِائَةٌ وَنَيِّفٌ [and أَلْفٌ وَنَيِّفٌ]: (IB:) it occurs in trads. with عِشْرُونَ and with ثَلَاثُونَ. (TA.) b2: بِضْعٌ and ↓ بَضْعٌ also signify A part, or portion, of the night: (K:) a time thereof. (Lh.) You say, مَضَى بِضْعٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ [A part, or portion, of the night passed]. (TA.) J mentions it with ص [in the place of ض]; and explains it by جَوْشٌ, q. v. (TA.) بَضْعَةٌ, (S, Msb, K,) with fet-h, other words of like meaning being with kesr, as قِطْعَةٌ and فِلْذَةٌ and فِدْرَةٌ, (S,) and sometimes with kesr, [↓ بِضْعَةٌ,] (K,) and ↓ بُضْعَةٌ also is mentioned, (TA,) of which the first is the most chaste, though EshShiháb asserts the second to be more common, (TA,) A piece, or lump, or portion cut off; (TA;) particularly of flesh, or flesh-meat, (S, Msb, K,) in a compact, or collective, state: (TA:) pl. ↓ بَضْعٌ, [or rather this is a coll. gen. n., of which بَضْعَةٌ is the n. un.,] and بِضَعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) as some say, (S,) but this is disallowed by 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh, (TA,) [or it may be a correct pl. of بِضْعَةٌ agreeably with analogy,] and بِضَاعٌ, and بَضَعَاتٌ, (Msb, K,) and [quasi-pl. n.] بَضِيعٌ, which is extr., like رَهِينٌ and كَلِيبٌ and مَعِيزٌ [&c.]. (TA.) Hence the saying [of Mohammad] in a trad., فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنَّى يَرِيبُنِى مَا رَابَهَا وَيُؤْذِينِى مَا

آذَاهَا (tropical:) Fátimeh is a part of me: [that displeases and disquiets me which has displeased and disquieted her, and that hurts me which has hurt her:] or, accord. to one relation, he said بُضَيْعَةٌ [a little part]. (TA.) One says also, إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَشَدِيدُ البَضْعَةِ حَسَنُهَا meaning Verily such a one is corpulent and fat. (TA.) b2: See also بَضَعَةٌ.

بُضْعَةٌ: see بَضْعَةٌ.

بِضْعَةٌ: see بَضْعَةٌ: and, as a noun of number, see بِضْعٌ, latter half of the paragraph.

بَضَعَةٌ The sound of cutting of swords: occurring in the saying, سَمِعْتُ لِلسِّيَاطِ خَضَعَةً وَلِلسُّيُوفِ بَضَعَةً

I heard a sound of falling of the whips, and a sound of cutting of the swords: (TA:) but in the S and A in art. خضع, and by IB, خضعة and بضعة are written خَضْعَةٌ and ↓ بَضْعَةٌ; and IB explains the former as signifying the sounds of swords; and the latter, the sounds of whips. (TA in art. خضع.) [See also بَاضِعٌ.]

بِضَاعٌ [The giving and receiving merchandise;] a subst. from أَبْضَعَهُ البِضَاعَةَ and اِبْتَضَعَ مِنْهُ; [or rather an inf. n. of which the verb, بَاضَعَ, is not used;] similar to قِرَاضٌ. (TA.) بَضِيعٌ Flesh. (As, S.) You say, دَابَّةٌ كَثِيرَةُ البَضِيعِ (As, S, TA) A beast abounding in what is distinct from the rest of the flesh of the thigh: n. un. with ة. (TA.) And رَجُلٌ خَاظِى البَضِيعِ (As, S) A fat man. (TA.) And سَاعِدٌ خَاظى البَضِيعِ [A fore arm, or an upper arm,] full of flesh. (IB.) [See also بَضْعَةٌ, of which it is a quasipl. n.]

بِضَاعَةٌ Merchandise; or an article of merchandise; (TA;) a portion of one's property which one sends for traffic; (S;) a portion of property prepared for traffic, (Mgh, * Msb,) or with which one traffics; from بَضْعٌ signifying the act of “cutting,” or “cutting off;” and vulgarly pronounced بُضَاعَةٌ: (TA:) pl. بَضَائِعُ. (Msb, TA.) بَاضِعٌ A sword that cuts off a piece of a thing that it strikes: (S, TA:) or a sharp, or cutting, sword: (K:) or a sword that cuts everything: (TA:) pl. بَضَعَةٌ: (K:) Fr says that بَضَعَةٌ signifies swords; and خَضَعَةٌ, whips: but some say the reverse. (TA.) [See also بَضَعَةٌ above.] b2: [See also the next paragraph.]

A2: [A broker who acts as an intermediary between the sellers and buyers of camels;] the same with respect to camels as the دَلَّال with respect to houses: (O, L, K:) or one who carries the articles of merchandise of the tribe, and conveys those articles from place to place for sale: (Ibn-'Abbád, Sgh, K:) it is said in the A that بَاضِعُ الحَىِّ signifies the person who carries the articles of merchandise of the tribe. (TA.) بَاضِعَةٌ A wound by which the head is broken, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) which cuts the skin, and cleaves the flesh (S, K) in a slight degree, (K,) and brings blood, but does not make it to flow: (S, K:) or which wounds the skin, and cleaves the flesh: (Mgh:) or which cleaves the flesh, but does not reach to the bone, nor cause the blood to flow: (Msb:) that from which the blood flows is termed دَامِيَةٌ [app. a mistake for دَامِعَةٌ]. (S, Msb.) A2: A large flock (فِرْقٌ [in the CK, erroneously, فِرَق,]) of sheep or goats: (S, Sgh, K:) or a portion separated from the rest of the sheep or goats: (Lth, K:) pl. بَوَاضِعُ: you say, فِرَقٌ بَوَاضِعُ. (Lth.) أَبْضَعُ as a corroborative after أَجْمَعُ: see أَبْصَعُ, with the unpointed ص. Az says that it is an evident mistranscription. (TA.) مِبْضَعٌ A lancet; an instrument with which a vein is cut: (S, Mgh, * K, TA:) and [a currier's knife] with which leather is cut: (S, TA:) [pl. مَبَاضِعُ: accord. to the Mirkát el-Loghah, as cited by Golius, it signifies a farrier's fleam; differing from مِشْرَطٌ, which signifies a surgeon's lancet: but this distinction is probably post-classical; for accord. to the TA, these two words signify the same.]

مَبْضُوعَةٌ [used as a subst.] A bow: a bow cut from a branch. (TA.) مُسْتَبْضِعٌ. It is said in a prov., كَمُسْتَبْضِعِ تَمْرٍ

إِلَى هَجَرٍ [Like the taker of dates as merchandise to Hejer]; because Hejer is [famous as] the place of production (مَعْدِن) of dates. (S.) مستبضع is here made trans. by means of الى because it has the meaning of حَامِل. (TA.)
