(ISd, TA.) And لَهُ ↓ تذلّل He became lowly, humble, or submissive, [or he lowered, humbled, or submitted, himself,] to him; (S, TA;) as also تَذَلَّى, originally تَذَلَّلَ. (TA.) b3: [Hence,] ذَلَّ is also said of a road [as meaning (assumed tropical:) It was, or became, beaten, or trodden, so as to be rendered even, or easy to be travelled, or to walk or ride upon: see ذَلِيلٌ].

(T. [See also مُذَلَّلٌ.]) [Hence it is said in the K that ذُلِّلَ النَّخْلُ signifies وُضِعَ عِذْقُهَا عَلَى الــجَرِيدَــةِ لِتَحْمِلَهُ: the explanation should be وُضِعَتْ عُذُوقُهَا عَلَى الــجَرِيدِ لِتَحْمِلَهَا, i. e.

Hence the saying, بَعْضُ الذِّلِّ أَبْقَى لِلْأَهْلِ وَالمَالِ [Somewhat of submissiveness is most preservative of the family and the property]: (S:) or أَبْقَى لِلْأَهْلِ وَالمَالِ ↓ الذُّلُّ, occurring in a trad. of Ibn-Ez-Zubeyr; meaning that abjectness betiding a man when he bears patiently an injury that has befallen him is most preservative of him and of his family and his property. (TA.) b2: Also Gentleness; and mercy; and so ↓ ذُلٌّ: thus in the phrase, ↓ وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ or الذِّلِّ, (M, K,) in the Kur [xvii. 25, lit. And make soft to them (thy two parents) the side of gentleness; meaning treat them with gentleness]: the former is the common reading: (TA:) or the latter means easiness, tractableness, or submissiveness: (K:) [and so the former, as has been stated above:] Er-Rághib says that ↓ الذُّلُّ is a consequence of subjection; and الذِّلُّ is what is after refractoriness: so that the phrase means, [accord. to the former reading,] be gentle like him who is subjected to them; and accord. to the latter reading, be gentle and tractable, or submissive, to them. (TA.) A2: Also The beaten track, (K,) or part that is trodden and made even, (M,) of a road. (M, K.) Its pl. أَذْلَال occurs in the saying, أَجْرِ الأُمُورَعَلَى أَذْلَالِهَا Let events, or affairs, take their course in the ways, or manners, that are fit, or proper, for them, and easy. (T.) El-Khansà says, لِتَجْرِ المَنِيَّةِ بَعْدَ الفَتَى الْمُغَادَرِ بِالْمَحْوِ أَذْلَالَهَا [Let fate take its ways after the youth left behind in El-Mahw]; (S, M;) meaning I mourn not for any thing after him: cited by AA: (S in the present art. and in art. محو:) المحو is here the name of a place.

(M, K.) And ↓ دَعْهُ عَلَى أَذْلَالِهِ Leave thou him, or it, in his, or its, [present] state, or condition: (S, M, K:) in this case it has no sing. (M, K.) [And so in the saying,] ↓ جَآءَ عَلَى أَذْلَالِهِ It came in its [proper] manner.

(M.) ذَلُولٌ Easy, tractable, submissive, or manageable; (S, M, Msb, K;) applied to a beast, such as a horse and the like, (دَابَّة), (S, M, Msb,) and to a man [&c.]; (M;) and so ↓ ذَلُولِىٌّ, applied to a man: (TA, as from the M: [but not found by me in the latter; and I believe that the right reading is ذَلَوْلًى, belonging to art. ذلى, q. v.:]) the former alike masc. and fem.: (M, TA:) pl. ذُلُلٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and أَذِلَّةٌ.

↓ ذَلُولٌ is applied to land or ground &c. [as meaning easy to be travelled, or to walk or ride upon, &c.]. (As, M voce تَرَبُوتٌ.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) Low, applied to a wall, and to a house, or chamber; (T;) and [so] applied to a mountain: (S and K in art. دك:) or (tropical:) low and thin, applied to a wall: (Mgh:) and (assumed tropical:) short, applied to a spear.

ذُلْذُلٌ is sing. of ذَلَاذِلُ, which signifies The lower, or lowest, parts, (Az, T, S,) that are next the ground, of a shirt, (S,) or of a long shirt; (Az, T;) and IAar says that the sing. is ↓ ذُلَذِلٌ, and ↓ ذِلْذِلَةٌ, also; and they are also called ذَنَاذِنُ, pl. of ذِنْذِنٌ; (T;) and دَنَادِنُ: (K in art. دن:) or ذُلْذُلٌ and ↓ ذِلْذِلٌ and ↓ ذِلْذِلَةٌ and ↓ ذُلَذِلٌ and ↓ ذُلَذِلَةٌ all signify the lower, or lowest, parts of a long shirt (M, K) when it dangles and becomes old and worn out; (M;) as also ذَلَاذِلُ; (K;) [or rather] this last is pl. of all the foregoing words; (M;) and ↓ ذَلَذِلُ and ↓ ذَلَذِلَةٌ [in some copies of the K, erroneously, ذَلْذَل, or ذَلْذُل, and ذَلْذَلَة,] signify the same; (K;) [or rather] the former of these two is a contraction of the pl. ذَلَاذِلُ (S, M) [and the latter of them is the same contracted pl. with the addition of ة]. b2: [Hence,] ذَلَاذِلُ النَّاسِ (assumed tropical:) Those who are the last of the people; (K;) or the last of a few of the people; so in the Moheet; (TA;) and ↓ ذُلْذُلَانُهُمْ and ↓ ذُلَيْذِلَانُهُمْ, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, ذُلْذُلاتُهُمْ and ذُلِيذَلاتُهُمْ,]) the latter a dim., (TA,) and ↓ أَذْلَالُهُمْ, signify the same: (K:) or this last signifies the lower, baser, viler, or meaner, of them.

The only other instance that I have found is هُوَ أَحْصَنُ مِنْ أَنْ يْرَام وَأَعَزُّ مِن أَنْ يُضَام, in the TA, voce أَلْ. Accord. to modern usage, one may say, أَنْتَ أَعْقَلُ مِنْ

أَنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ كَذَا, which virtually means Thou art too reasonable to do such a thing; and here we cannot substitute الَّذِن for أَنّ. See أَنْ for أَنَّ.] b3: أَخْزَى اللّٰهُ الكَاذِبَ مِنِّى وَمِنْكَ: see أَىٌّ

b4: لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ أَسَدًا: see أَسْدٌ: and لَقِيتُ b5: مِنْهُ بَحْرًا; and رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ بَحْرًا: see بحر b6: مِنْ in the sense of عِنْدَ: see جَدٌّ b7: جَرَى مِنْهُ مَجْرَى

كَذَا: see 1 in art. جرى b8: مِنْ and عَنْ, differences between: see عَنْ b9: مِنْ often means Some. b10: Often redundant: see 1 in art. عيض. b11: Of, or among: see two exs. voce فِى, latter part. b12: حُسَيْنٌ مِنِّى وَأَنَا مِنْهُ Hoseyn and I are as one thing, [as though each were a part of the other,] in respect of the love that is due to us, &c. (Commencement of a tradition in the Jámi' es-Sagheer: thus explained in the Expos. of El-Munáwee.) See Ham, p. 139; and De Sacy's Gr. i. 492. b13: مَا أَنَا مَنْ دَدٍ وَلَا الدَّدُ مِنِّى: see art. دد. IbrD confirms my rendering of this saying. b14: يَتَعَرَّضُ إِلَى شَىْءٍ لَيْسَ مِنْهُ [He applies himself to a thing not of his business to do]. (TA, art. عش.) b15: لَيْسَ مِنَّا He is not of our dispositions, nor of our way, course, or manner, of acting, or the like. (TA, art. غش.) b16: لَيْسَ مِنِّى (Kur, ii. 250) He is not of my followers: (Bd, Jel:) or he is not at one, or in union, with me. (Bd. See 1 in art. طعم.) See a similar usage of من, voce عِيصٌ. b17: أَنَا مِنْهُ كَحَاقِنِ الإِهَالَةِ: see حَاقِنٌ b18: مِنْ is used in the sense of فى in the phrase مِنْ يَوْمِ الجُمْعَةِ [In, or on, the day of congregation] in the Kur lxii. 9. (K, Jel.) So, too, in مِنْ يَوْمِهِ In, or on, his, meaning, the same, day: and مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ In, or at, his, meaning the same, instant of time. See also De Sacy's Gr., ii. 526.

مُنَ اللّٰهِ is for أَيْمُنُ اللّٰه.

(TA.) It is said in a prov., مَنْ عَزَّ بَزَّ He who overcomes takes the spoil. (S, A.) And you say, بَزَّهُ ثَوْبَهُ, and ↓ ابتزّهُ, He took away from him, or seized or carried away from him by force, his garment. (A.) It is said in a trad., ثِيَابِى ↓ فَيَبْتَزُّ وَمَتَاعِى And he strips me, or despoils me, of my clothes and my goods; takes them from me by superior force. (TA.) You say also, بَزَّهُ ثِيَابَهُ He pulled off from him his clothes. (TA.) and الرَّجُلُ جَارِيَتَهُ مشنْ ثِيَابِهَا ↓ ابتزّ The man stripped his slave-girl of her clothes. (Mgh, * TA.) b2: Also بَزَّثَوْبَهُ, aor. as above, He pulled his garment towards him, or to him: so in a verse of Khálid Ibn-Zuheyr El-Hudhalee [cited in art. ريب, but with this difference, that يَجُرُّ is there put in the place of يَبُزُّ]. (S, TA.) b3: [بَزَّهُ is also explained in the TA by حَبَسَهُ; but without any ex.; and I think it probable that حَبَسَهُ is a mistake for جَذَبَهُ].8 إِبْتَزَ3َ see 1, in six places.

A2: ابتزّت مِنْ ثِيَابِهَا She stripped herself of her clothes. (A.) R. Q. 1 بَزْبَزَهُ: see 1, in two places. b2: بَزْبَزَةٌ [the inf. n.] also signifies The being quick and active in wrongful, unjust, injurious, or tyrannical, conduct: and the rel. n. is ↓ بَزْبَزِىٌّ.

(S, &c.) b2: [Hence, app.,] جِىْءَ بِهِ عَزَّا بَزًّا He was brought without any means of avoiding it; (A, TA;) willingly or against his will: (TA in art. عز:) [as though originally signifying by being overcome and despoiled.]

A2: Cloths, or stuffs, or garments; syn. ثِيَاب: (IAmb, Mgh, K:) [see also بِزَّةٌ:] or a kind thereof: (Lth, Mgh, Msb:) or such as are the goods of the بَزَّاز, (S, A,) or of the merchant: (Msb:) or the furniture of a house or tent, consisting of cloths or stuffs (ثِيَاب, IDrd, Mgh, Msb, K) and the like: (K:) in the dial. of the people of El-Koofeh, cloths, or stuffs, or garments, (ثياب,) of linen and of cotton; not of wool nor of خَزّ: (Mgh:) pl. بُزُوزٌ; (A;) meaning, in conjunction with خُزُوزٌ, (i. e., خُزُوزٌ وَ بُزُوزٌ,) good cloths or stuffs or garments. (A.) [Golius explains it as “Chald.

בוּץ, Byssus, seu potius pannus lineus, bombacinus, etiam sericus:” as on the authority of the S and K (though he omits the explanations in both those lexicons) and Meyd and Ibn-Maaroof (who explains it only by the Persian word جَامَهْ, meaning cotton or linen cloth, or a garment,) and the Mirkát el-Loghah. He seems to have judged from its resemblance in sound to the Chaldee and Latin words with which he identifies it. The things which it signifies, however, may perhaps be so called because they are usual spoils: and hence also, perhaps, the application here next following.]

A3: Weapons, or arms; or a weapon; syn. سِلَاحٌ; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ بِزَّةٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) and ↓ بَزَزٌ, (K,) and ↓ بِزِّيزَى: (TA:) the first of these four words including in its application coats of mail and the مِغْفَر and the sword: (TA:) or it signifies a sword: (IDrd, A, TA:) and ↓ بَزَزٌ, accord. to AA, complete arms. (TA.) You say, تَقَلَّدَ بَزَّا حَسَنًا He hung upon himself a goodly sword, putting its suspensory belt or cord upon his neck. (A.) And كَامِلَةٍ ↓ غَزَا فِى بِزَّةٍ He went to war in complete arms. (A.) بِزَّةٌ Constraint, or force: as in the saying, لَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ أَبَدًا بِزَّةً مِنِّى He will never take it by constraint, or force, from me. (Ks, TA.) A2: Outward appearance; state with regard to apparel and the like; syn. هَيْئَةٌ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K, TA,) and شَارَةٌ: (TA:) garb; mode, manner, or fashion, of dress: (TA:) apparel. (A, Mgh.)

بِزَازَةٌ The trade of the بَزَّاز. (Mgh, Msb, K.) بِزَازَةٌ The seller of the cloths or stuffs or the like called بَزّ. (S, * A, * Mgh, * K.) بِزِّيزَى a subst. from بَزَّ in the first of the senses explained above; The act of taking away; or spoliation; or the act of seizing, or carrying away, by force: (S, TA:) the act of taking, or obtaining, by superior power or force. (K, * TA.) It is said in a trad., ثُمَّ يَكُونُ بِزِّيزَى وَ أَخْذَ أَمْوَالٍ

بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ Then it shall be by spoliation, and the taking of possessions without right: or, as some relate this trad., ↓ بَزْبَزِيًّا; but accord. to Az, this is naught. (TA.) You say also, رَجَعَتِ الخلَافَةُ بِزِّيزَى [The office of Khaleefeh became reduced to be a thing taken by superior power or force]; was not taken by desert. (A, TA.) A2: See also بَزٌّ, latter part.

(M.) b2: A man who sucks his ewes or she-goats; by reason of his meanness, or ungenerousness: (A'Obeyd, S, K:) i. e. who sucks from their udders with his mouth; lest the sound of the milking should be heard; as also, ↓ مَاصُّ; (TA;) and so مَلْحَانُ and مَكَّانُ. (A'Obeyd, TA.)

ال

اَلْ is a particle of determination: (Mughnee &c.:) or, accord. to some, it is a conjunct noun, and this is the correct opinion; but some say it is a conjunct particle; and some, a particle of determination: (I 'AK p. 40:) [it is equivalent to our article The;] as in الرَّجُلُ [The man]: (S and K in art. لوم, and I 'Ak p. 48:) accord. to Kh, [what is termed] the determinative is اَلْ [altogether, and therefore it is called by some “the determinative alif and lám“]; but accord. to Sb, it is the ل alone; [wherefore it is called by some, as in the S &c., “the lám of determination;”;] so that accord. to Kh, the hemzeh is a hemzeh of disjunction; but accord. to Sb, it is a hemzeh of conjunction: (I 'Ak ubi suprà:) [J says,] the ل being quiescent, the conjunctive ا is prefixed to it in order that it may commence therewith; but when it is conjoined with what precedes it, the ا is dropped, as in لِلرَّجُلِ. (S in art. لوم.) Sometimes the Arabs suppress hemzeh after it; and sometimes they also suppress the ا of the article itself: thus, for الأَحْمَرُ, they say الَحْمَرُ, and لَحْمَرُ. (Zj, cited in TA in art. ايك.) In the dial. of some of the people of El-Yemen, (TA in art. ام, q. v.,) or in the dial. of Himyer, (TA in art. طيب,) امْ is used in the sense of ال. (TA.) b2: It is used to distinguish a noun as known [to the hearer or reader in a particular and definite sense]: (Mughnee, I 'Ak ubi suprà:) first, by its being mentioned [before]; (Mughnee;) as in [the words of the Kur 73:15 and 16,] كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا فَعَصَى فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ [Like as we sent unto Pharaoh an apostle, and Pharaoh disobeyed the apostle]; (Mughnee, I 'Ak;) in which case, the pronoun may supply the place which it and the noun that it accompanies occupies: secondly, by its being conceived in the mind; as in [the Kur ix. 40,] إِذْ هُمَا فِى الغَارِ [When they two were in the cave]: and thirdly, by its being applied to a thing present; and accord. to Ibn-'Osfoor, this does not occur except after nouns of indication, as in جَآءَ نِى هٰذَا الرَّجُلُ [This man (lit. this, the man,) came to me]; or after أَىّ in calling, as in يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ [O man]; or after إِذَا denoting a thing's happening suddenly, or unexpectedly, as in خَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا الأَسَدُ [I went forth, and lo, there was the lion]; or after the noun denoting the present time, as اَلْآنَ [Now]: but this requires consideration; for you say to the reviler of a man in you presence, لَا تَشْتِمِ الرَّجُلَ [Revile not thou the man]; and because that which is after إِذَا does not render determinate anything present at the time of speaking; and because that in الآن is really redundant, being inseparable, which the determinative is never known to be: the good example in this case is the saying in the Kur [v. 5], اَلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِيْنَكُمْ [This day I have completed for you your religion]. (Mughnee.) b3: It is also used to denote the species: first, to denote the totality of the individuals of the species; and this may have its place supplied by كُلّ used in its proper sense; (Mughnee, I 'Ak * ubi suprà;) as in [the Kur iv. 32,] وَخُلِقَ الإِنْسَانُ ضَعِيفًا [For man was created weak]: secondly, to denote the totality of the properties of the individuals, or the combination of all those properties in one thing; and this may have its place supplied by كُلّ used in a tropical sense; as in زَيْدٌ الرَّجُلُ عِلْمًا [Zeyd is the man in respect of knowledge; as though he combined in himself the knowledge of all the individuals of his species]; i. e., he is the complete, or perfect, [or we would rather say, preeminent,] in knowledge; and hence, [in the Kur ii. 1,] ذٰلِكَ الكِتَابُ [That is the book, or scripture; as though combining in itself the excellences of all other books or scriptures; or meaning that is preeminently the book, or scripture]: and thirdly, to denote the quiddity, or essence; and this may not have its place supplied by كُلّ used either properly or tropically; as in the saying, [in the Kur xxi. 31,] وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ المَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّ [And we have made of water (meaning, accord. to common opinion, sperma genitale,) everything living]; or, accord. to some, it is used in this case to distinguish a thing as known [in a particular sense] by its being conceived in the mind. (Mughnee.) b4: It is also used to denote predominance of application; as in المَدِينَةُ [The city], meaning the city of the Apostle; and الكِتَابُ [The book], meaning the book of Seebaweyh: and in this case, it may not be suppressed, except when the noun is used vocatively, or when it is prefixed to another noun which it governs in the gen. case; and in some anomalous instances, as in هٰذَا عَيُّوقٌ طَالِعًا [This is the star Capella, rising], originally العَيُّوقٌ. (I 'Ak p. 51.) [In a case of this kind, it is said in the Mughnee to be redundant; but I think it is clearly not so in any of the instances here mentioned, except the last; and this I would rather assign to a category yet to be noticed, in which ال is certainly redundant, and, by rule, inseparable.] b5: It is also prefixed to a noun transferred from its original application to that of a proper name; it being so prefixed to convey an allusion to the original signification; and such noun being generally an epithet, as حَارِثٌ; but sometimes an inf. n., as فَضْلٌ; and sometimes a generic noun, as نُعْمَانٌ; so that in any of these cases you may prefix ال, saying الحَارِثُ and الفَضْلُ and النُّعْمَانُ, with a view to the original signification; and you may suppress it, with a view to the actual state [which is that of a proper name]: for when you mean that a name of this kind is given as one ominous of good, you prefix the ال in order to indicate this; as when you say الحَارِثُ with a view to a person's being thus named to prognosticate that he will live and be a tiller, or cultivator; but when you only consider it as a proper name, you do not prefix the ال: thus the prefix ال conveys a meaning not obtained without it; and therefore it is not redundant, as some assert it to be. (I 'Ak p. 50.) [The author of the Mughnee is one of those who consider ال redundant in this case.] b6: It is in some cases redundant: and in some of these, it is inseparable; as in [a proper name which cannot be used with a view to an original application from which it has been transferred to that of a proper name though it may have been so transferred, such as] اللَّاتُ, which is the name of a certain idol that was at Mekkeh [so called because a man used to moisten سَوِيق with clarified butter, for the pilgrims, at the place thereof]; and, accord. to some, [as before mentioned,] in الآنِ; and in the conjunct nouns الَّذِى and its variations, accord. to those who hold that a noun of this kind is rendered determinate by its complement: in other cases, where it is redundant, it is separable; and this is when it is prefixed to a proper name by poetic licence, as in بَنَاتُ الأَوْبَرِ for بَنَاتُ أَوْبَرَ, a species of truffle; or, accord. to Mbr, this is not a proper name, and the ال is not redundant; and when it is prefixed to a specificative, as in طِبْتَ النَّفْسَ for طِبْتَ نَفْسًا, accord. to the Basrees, who hold, in opposition to the Koofees, that the specificative may only be indeterminate; (I 'Ak p. 49;) [and, in like manner, as redundant and separable,] it is irregularly prefixed [by poetic licence] in الأَمْسِ [q. v.], when it is left in its original form with kesr. (T.) b7: Accord. to the Koofees, and some of the Basrees, and many of the later authors, it may also supply the place of the affixed pronoun; and such they hold to be the case in the saying in the Kur [lxxix. 41], فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِىَ الْمَأوِى [Verily Paradise, it shall be his place of abode]; and in مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ حَسَنٍ الوَجْهُ [I passed by a man beautiful in his face]; and ضُرِبَ زَيْدٌ الظَّهْرُ وَالبَطْنُ [Zeyd was beaten, his back and his belly]; when الوجه and الظهر and البطن are thus in the nom. case: but those who deny its being used in this manner hold that لَهُ is to be understood in the verse of the Kur, and مِنْهُ in the other examples: and Ibn-Málik restricts the licence to cases not including the صِلَة [or complement of ال used in the manner which is here next to be explained]. (Mughnee.) b8: It is also a conjunct noun in the sense of الَّذِى and its variations; and as such is prefixed to an act. part. n., and to a pass. part. n., and, as some say, to a simple epithet; (Mughnee, and I' Ak p. 43;) as الضَّارِبُ [which is equivalent to الَّذِى يَضْرِبُ], and المَضْرُوبُ [which is equivalent to الَّذِى ضُرِبَ], and الحَسَنُ الوَجْهِ: (I 'Ak:) but this last not to be regarded, as it cannot be rendered by means of a verb. (Mughnee.) As such, also, it is sometimes prefixed to an adverbial noun, (Mughnee and I 'Ak,) extraordinarily; (I 'Ak;) as in the saying, مَنْ لَا يَزَالُ شَاكِرًا عَلَى يلْمَعَهْ
فَهْوَ حَرٍ بِعِيشَةٍ ذَاتِ سَعَهْ [Whoso ceases not to be grateful, or thankful, for what is with him, or what he has, he is worthy of a state of life such as is attended with plenty.] (Mughnee and I 'Ak.) As such it is also sometimes prefixed to a nominal proposition; as in the saying, مَنَ القَوْمِ الرَّسُولُ اللّٰهِ مِنْهُمْ
لَهُمْ دَانَتْ رِقَابُ بِنَي مَعَدِّ [Of the people of whom is the apostle of God, of those to whom the necks of the sons of Ma' add have become abased]. (Mughnee and I 'Ak.) And as such it is also sometimes prefixed to a verbal proposition, of which the verb is an aor. ; which shows that it is not [in this case] a particle of determination; (Mughnee;) as in the phrase, صَوْتُ الحِمَارِ اليُجَدَّعُ [The voice of the ass that has his ear, or ears, cut off]. (T and Mughnee.) But all these three cases are peculiar to poetry; contrary to the opinion of Akh, and, with respect to the last case, to that of Ibn-Málik. (Mughnee.) [Respecting the last instance, see also art. جدع.] Another instance of its usage prefixed in this sense to an aor. is the saying, مَا أَنْتَ بِالْحَكَمَ التُرْضَى حُكُومَتُهُ [Thou art not the judge whose judgment is approved]; (IAmb, T, I 'Ak) a saying of ElFarezdak: (IAmb, T:) it is an extraordinary case; (I 'Ak;) and is [said to be] an instance of a bad poetic license, the like of which in prose would be an error by common consent. (Expos. of the Shudhoor edh-Dhahab.) In like manner, one says, accord. to Az, هٰذَا اليَضْرِبُكَ, meaning This is he who beats thee; and رَأَيْتُ اليَضْرِبُكَ I saw him who beats thee; and هٰذَا الوُضِعَ لِلشِّعْرِ This is what is appropriated to poetry. (T: [in which this last ex. is perhaps intended to intimate that the prefixing of ال in this manner to a verb is allowable only in poetry.]) b9: The Arabs also say, هَوَ الحَصِينُ أَنْ يُرَامَ وَ هُوَ العَزِيزُ أَنْ يُضَامَ, meaning أَحْصَنُ مِنْ أَنْ يُرَام وَأَعَزُّ مِنْ ذَنْ يُضَام [He is more strongly fortified, or protected against attack, than that he will be sought, or desired, and he is more mighty than that he will be injured; i. e., too strongly fortified, or protected against attack, to be sought, or desired, and too mighty to be injured: see مِن.] (TA in art. لوم. [But الحِصْنُ is there erroneously put for الحَصِينُ.]) A2: Among strange usages, is that of أَلْ as an interrogative, mentioned by Ktr; as in أَلْ فَعَلْتَ in the sense of هَلْ فَعَلْتَ [Didst thou do? or hast thou done?]. (Mughnee.) إِلٌّ Anything which has a quality requiring it to be regarded as sacred, or inviolable; which has some right pertaining to it: and thus used in particular senses here following. (R, TA.) b2: Relationship; or nearness with respect to kindred; (Fr, T, S, M, R, K;) as also ↓ إِلَّةٌ, (Fr, T, K,) of which the pl. is إِلَلٌ. (K.) So in the Kur [ix. 8], لَا يَرْقُبُوا فِيكُمْ إِلَّا (Fr, T) They will not regard, with respect to you, relationship; (Bd, Jel;) accord. to some. (Bd.) And so in a trad. of 'Alee, يَخُونُ العَهْدَ وَ يَقْطَعُ الإِلَّ [He is unfaithful to the covenant, and cuts the tie of relationship]. (TA.) Hassán Ibn-Thábit says, لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّ إِلَّكَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ
كَإِلِّ السَّقْبِ مِنْ رَأْلِ النَّعَامِ [By thy life, thy relationship to Kureysh is like the relationship of the young camel to the young of the ostrich]. (S.) b3: Good origin. (K.) So, accord. to some, in a saying of Aboo-Bekr, which see below. (TA.) b4: I. q. مَعْدِنٌ, (K,) or مَعْدِنٌ صَحِيحٌ [as meaning A place, or person, whence a thing, or person, originates, free from imperfection, or from everything that would induce doubt or suspicion or evil opinion]. (El-Muärrij, TA: [in which the verse of Hassán cited above is given as an ex. of this signification.]) b5: A compact, or covenant; or one by which a person becomes responsible for the safety, or safe-keeping, of a person or thing; syn. عَهْدٌ: (AO, Aboo-Is- hák, T, S, M, R, K:) a confederacy, or league; syn. حِلْفٌ; (Aboo-Is-hák, T, M, K;) and so, accord. to some, in the Kur ubi suprà: (Bd:) a covenant between two parties by which either is bound to protect the other; syn. جُوَارٌ: (Aboo-Is-hák, T, R:) a promise, or an assurance, of security or safety; or indemnity; syn. أَمَانٌ; (K;) a meaning which it has, accord. to some, in the verse of the Kur cited above. (TA.) Hence, وَفِىُّ الإِلِ A fulfiller, performer, or keeper, of the compact, or covenant. (TA, from a trad.) b6: Lordship; syn. رُبُوبِيَّةٌ. (M, K.) So in the Kur ubi suprà, accord. to some. (Bd.) And so in the saying of Aboo-Bekr, above referred to, when he heard the rhyming prose of Museylimeh, هٰذَا كَلَامٌ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ إِلٍّ [This is language which did not proceed from lordship]: so explained by A 'Obeyd: (Suh, TA:) or it has here another signification, mentioned before; the meaning being, which did not come from the origin whence came the Kur-án: or, accord. to some, it has here the signification next following. (TA.) b7: Revelation, or inspiration. (K, TA.) b8: الإِلُّ also signifies God: [like the word אֵל or rather 165 as used in Hebrew:] (T, S, M, K:) so say Mujáhid and Esh-Shaabee: (T:) and so it is said to signify in the verse of the Kur cited above: (T, TA:) [and so it seems to signify in the saying of Aboo-Bekr, also cited above, accord. to the M:] but Aboo-Is- hák disallows this; and so does Suh, in the R. (TA.) Ibn-El-Kelbee says, (M,) when إِلُّ ends any name, it has this meaning, and is the complement of a prefixed noun; and so إِيلُ; (M, K;) as in جَبْرَئِلُّ [and جَبْرَئِيلُ &c.]; and so say most of the learned: (TA:) but this is not a valid assertion; for were it so, جَبْرَئِلُّ and the like would be perfectly decl.: (M:) some say that these names are constructed inversely, after the manner of the language of the 'Ajam; ال and ايل meaning servant, and the first part of the name being a name of God. (Suh, TA.) A2: I. q. شَخْصٌ [used in a pl. sense]. (Mughnee in art. إِلَّا. [See what is said to be an ex. of this meaning in a verse of Dhu-r-Rummeh cited in art. الا in the present work.]) b2: [It is said that] إِلٌّ is also syn. with جَارٌ [A neighbour; &c.]. (K: [and so, accord. to the TA, in the M; but I have consulted the M without finding this explanation, and think it to be probably a mistranscription for جُوَارٌ, (see above,) as in the T and R.]) إِلَّةٌ: see إِلٌّ.

أَمْرٌ إِلَّىٌّ A thing, or an affair, relating, or attributable, to الإِل, meaning either God, or revelation or inspiration. (TA.)
