فَرَادَ; see the paragraph here following.

فُرَادٌ [is most properly regarded as a quasi-pl. n., rather than as a pl., of فَرْدٌ; and فُرَادُ is similar to it in meaning]. One says, جَاؤُوا فُرَاداً, and ↓ فُرَادَى, (S, M, K,) with tenween and without it, (S,) and فُرَادَ, (K,) like ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ, (TA,) and ↓ فَرَادَ, and فِرَاداً [a pl. of ↓ فَرْدٌ,] and ↓ فَرْدَى, (K,) [and ↓ فُرَّاداً, perhaps thus by poetic license, see an ex. in a verse cited voce مُرْسِمٌ,] They came one by one; one at a time; (S;) one after another: (M, K:) Az relates that the Kilábees said, جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَاداً [Ye came to us one by one; or one after another]: and هُمْ فُرَادٌ وَأَزْوَاجٌ [They are separate persons and pairs], with tenween: and the Arabs said قَوْمٌ فُرَادُ, imperfectly decl., likened to ثُلاَثُ and رُبَاعُ, [A party composed of separate persons, disposed by ones, or one after another,] and ↓ فُرَادَى, which latter is said by Fr to be a pl.: (T, L:) and the sing. [he adds] is ↓ فَرَدٌ and ↓ فَرِدٌ and ↓ فَرِيدٌ and ↓ فَرْدَانُ: (T, K:) but ↓ فَرُدٌ, (so accord. to a copy of the T,) or ↓ فَرْدٌ, (so in the K accord. to the TA, [in the CK فُرْدٌ,]) in this sense, [i. e. in the pl. sense] is not allowable.

فَرِيدٌ: see فَرْدٌ, former half, in two places: and see فُرَادٌ. b2: Also i. q. شَذْرٌ [app. as meaning The beads that divide the other beads of a string]; (T, A;) in the language of the 'Ajam [app. meaning Persians] called جَاوَرْسَق [a word I do not find in any dictionary]: accord. to Ibráheem El-Harbee, شَذْر of silver, like pearls: (T:) or شَذْر that divide the pearls and gold: (M, L, K:) and pearls that are strung, and divided by other things interposed: (S, L, K:) or pearls that divide the pieces of gold in a necklace: (A:) one thereof is termed ↓ فَرِيدَةٌ: (T, M, A, L:) pl. فَرَائِدُ. (T, M, K.) And A precious, or highly-esteemed, gem; (M, L, K;) as also ↓ فَرِيدَةٌ; (K;) as though it were the only one of its kind; (M, L;) or so called because unequalled; or because [it is a pearl] found alone in its shell: (MF:) and as some say, (S,) ↓ فَرَائِدُ الدُّرِّ signifies the large pearls. (S, L.) b3: Also The intermediate vertebræ between the last of the six vertebræ that are next to the دَأْى [q. v.] of the neck and the six that are between these فَرِيد and the [rump-bone called the] عَجْب; as also ↓ فَرَائِدُ: (M, L, K:) or ↓ فَرِيدَةٌ [the sing.] signifies the vertebra that projects from the part, of the back of a horse, that is next to the lumbar vertebrœ; intervening between the dorsal vertebræ and the lumbar: it projects in some horses. (M, L.) فَرِيدَةٌ, and the pl. فَرَائِدُ: see the next preceding paragraph, in five places.

فُرَادَى: see فَرْدٌ, first sentence: and see also فُرَادٌ, in two places.

فَرَّادٌ One who sells, (T, A, L, K,) and one who makes, (M, L, K,) what are termed فَرِيد, (A, L, K,) i. e. (A) شَذْر. (T, A.) فُرَّادًا: see فُرَادٌ.

(K.) b4: And إِبِلٌ فَوَارِدُ [She-camels] which stallions do not resemble (لاَ تُشْبِهُهَا). (So in the O and K. [But the right reading is evidently I think, لا تَشْتَهِيهَا, which the Turkish translator of the K appears to have found in a copy of that work; and the meaning, therefore, which stallions do not desire. فَوَارِدُ is pl. of فَارِدَةٌ.]) مُفْرَدٌ: see فَرْدٌ, second quarter. b2: [Hence, as a conventional term, A single, simple, word or vocable;] an expression of which a portion does not denote a portion of its meaning: (KT:) [pl. مُفْرَدَاتٌ. b3: And Singular, as distinguished from dual and plural. b4: And مُفْرَادَاتُ الطِّبِّ The simples of medicine; medicinal simples.] b5: and مُفْرَدٌ signifies also A wild bull.

(A.) مُفَرِّدٌ A rider having no other with him: (A:) or a rider having only his camel with him. (K.) b2: طُوبَى لِلْمُفَرِّدِينَ, occurring in a trad., (L,) means Good betide those who apply themselves to the study of practical religion, or the law, and withdraw from [the rest of] mankind, and attend only to the observance of the commands and prohibitions [of religion]: (IAar, T, * L, K, TA:) and (K, TA) it is also said to mean (TA) those who are devoted to the commemoration of the praises of God: (K, TA:) or, as expl. by the Prophet himself, those men and women who commemorate the praises of God much, or frequently: (TA:) also, (K,) or, as KT says in explaining the trad., (TA,) [and as his words are cited in the T,] those whose contemporaries in birth, (K, TA,) and the generation among which they were, (TA,) have perished, or died, while they themselves have remained, (K, TA,) commemorating the praises of God: but Az holds the explanation of IAar to be more correct than this of KT. (TA.) مِفْرَادٌ: see فَرْدٌ, near the middle of the paragraph.

المَفَارِيدٌ as a conventional term in lexicology signifies What have been uttered by only one of the Arabs: differing from الأَفْرَادُ, which signifies what have been transmitted from the Arabs by only one of the leading lexicologists. (Mz, 15th نوع.)

(A.) b2: See also 1. It is said in a trad., خَيَّرَ بَيْنَ دُورِ الأَنْصَارِ, meaning He preferred some among the houses of the Assistants before others of them. (TA.) And in another trad., خُيِّرَ, meaning He was preferred, and pronounced to have surpassed, or overcome, or won, in a contest, or dispute. (IAth.) 3 خَاْيَرَ ↓ خَايَرَهُ فَخَارَهُ, (A, K,) inf. n. مُخَايَرَةٌ, (A,) He vied with him, or strove to surpass him, or contended with him for superiority, in goodness, or excellence, (A, K,) in, or with respect to, (فِى,) a thing, (A,) and he surpassed him therein.

[with respect to form, though more commonly used than the former], (TA,) [How good is such a one!] phrases similar to مَاأَشَّرَهُ and مَا شَّرَهُ [which have the contr. meaning]. (TA.) اللَّبَنَ لِلْمَرِيضِ ↓ مَا خَيْرَ [How good is milk for the diseased!], (K, * TA,) with nasb to the ر and ن, is an expression of wonder: (K:) it was said to Khalaf El-Ahmar, by an Arab of the desert, in the presence of Aboo-Zeyd; whereupon Khalaf said to him, “What a good word, if thou hadst not defiled it by mentioning it to the [common] people! ” and Aboo-Zeyd returned to his companions, and desired them, when Khalaf ElAhmar should come, to say, all together, these words (ما خير اللبن للمريض), [in order to vex him], and they did so.

A2: As a trans. v.: see 8.6 تخايروا فِيهِ إِلَى حَكَمٍ They contended together for superior goodness, or for excellence, in it, or with respect to it, appealing to a judge, or an arbiter.

It is said in the Kur [vii. 154], وَاخْتَارَ مُوسَى قَوْمِهِ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا [And Moses chose from his people seventy men]. (TA.) وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَى عِلْمٍ, in the Kur [xliv. 31, Verily we have chosen them with knowledge], may be indicative of God's producing good, or of his preferring them before others. (TA.) 10 استخار He sought, desired, or asked for, خِيرَة (S, Msb, K) or خِيَرَة (as in some copies of the K) [i. e. the blessing, prospering, or favour, of God; &c.].

(S.) And اِسْتَخَرْتُ اللّٰهَ فِيهِ فَخَارَ لِى I desired, or asked, of God, the better of the two things, [or rather the better in it, meaning a case, or an affair,] and He chose it for me. (A.) b2: See also 8.

خَيْرٌ [Good, moral or physical; anything that is good, real or ideal, and actual or potential; and, being originally an inf. n., used as sing and pl.;] a thing that all desire; such as intelligence, for instance, and equity; (Er-Rághib, and so in some copies of the K;) [or goodness;] and excellence; and what is profitable or useful; benefit; (Er-Rághib;) contr. of شَرٌّ: (S, A, Msb:) pl. خُيُورٌ, (Msb, K,) and also, accord. to the Msb, ↓ خِيَارٌ: (TA:) [but this latter seems to be properly pl. only of خَيْرٌ used as an epithet (see below) and as a noun denoting the comparative and superlative degrees: it may however be used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant:] خير is of two kinds: namely, absolute خير, which is what is desired in all circumstances and by every person: and what is خير [or good] to one and شرّ [or evil] to another; as, for instance, (Er-Rághib,) wealth, or property: (Zj, L in art. شد, Er-Rághib, K:) it has this last signification, namely wealth, or property, in the Kur, ii. 176 (S, TA) and ii. 274 and xxiv. 33 and xli. 49: or in the first and second of these instances it is thus called to imply the meaning of wealth, or property, that has been collected in a praiseworthy manner, or it means much wealth or property; and this is its meaning in the first of the instances mentioned above, agreeably with a trad. of 'Alee; and also in the Kur, c. 8: (TA:) [being used as a pl. (as well as a sing.), it may be also rendered good things:] and it is also used by the Arabs to signify horses; (K, * TA;) and has this meaning in the Kur, xxxviii. 31: (TA:) [it is often best rendered good fortune; prosperity; welfare; wellbeing; weal; happiness; or a good state or condition: and sometimes bounty, or beneficence.] رَجُلٌ قَلِيلُ الخَيْرِ means [A man possessing little, or no, good; possessing few, or no, good things; or poor: and in whom is little, or no, good or goodness; or niggardly: and also] a man who does little good: (TA in art. عص:) or [who does no good;] who is not near to doing good; denoting the nonexistence of good in him. (Msb in art. قل.) [Thus it sometimes means the same as رَجُلٌ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ A man in whom is no good or goodness; devoid of goodness; worthless.] And قِلَّةُ خَيْرٍ means Poverty: and also niggardliness. (A and TA in art. جحد.) هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ وَالخِيرِ is explained voce خِيرٌ.

عَلَىيَدَىِ الخَيْرِ وَاليُمْنِ [May it be with the aid of good fortune and prosperity] is a prayer used with respect to a marriage. (A 'Obeyd, TA.) And إِنَّكَ مَا وَخَيْرًا means مَعَ خَيْرٍ, i. e., Mayest thou meet with, or attain, good. (K.) b2: خَيْرٌ in the phrase فُلَانٌ خَيْرٌ resembles an epithet [like ↓ خَيِّرٌ, and signifies Good; or possessing good]; (Akh, S;) therefore the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ, (Akh, S, Msb, *) as occurring in the Kur, lv. 70; and they do not [there] mean by it [the comparative or superlative signification of the measure] أَفْعَلُ: (Akh, S:) you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيِّرٌ, (S, A, Msb,) meaning [A good man; or] a man possessing خَيْر [or good]; (Msb;) and رَجُلٌ خَيْرٌ: (S:) and in like manner, ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ خَيِّرَةٌ and خَيْرَةٌ, (S, Msb,) meaning [A good woman; or] a woman excellent in beauty and disposition: (Msb:) or خَيْرٌ and ↓ خَيِّرٌ signify possessing much خَيْر [or good], (K,) applied to a man; (TA;) and in the same sense you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيْرَى, and ↓ خُورَى, and ↓ خِيَرى: and the fem. of the first is خَيْرَةٌ; and of the second, ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (K:) and the pl. [of pauc.] (of the first, TA) is أَخْيَارٌ, and [of mult.] خِيَارٌ: (A, Msb, K:) you say also خِيَارُ المَالِ, meaning The excellent of the camels or the like: (Msb, K:) and in like manner you say of men &c.: (TA:) [see also below:] and the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ: (Msb:) خِيَارٌ is contr. of أَشْرَارٌ, (S, Mgh,) [thus] used as an epithet: (Mgh:) and ↓ خَيْرَةٌ [used as a subst.] signifies anything excellent; and the pl. thereof in this sense, خَيْرَاتٌ, occurs in the Kur, ix. 89: (S:) or خَيْرٌ, (K,) or the fem. خَيْرَةٌ, (Lth,) or each, (K.) signifies excellent in beauty: (Lth, K:) and ↓ خَيِّرٌ and خَيِّرَةٌ signify excellent in righteousness (Lth, K) and religion: (K:) or there is no difference in the opinion of the lexicologists [in general] between خَيْرَةٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (Az:) accord. to Zj, خَيْرَاتٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَاتٌ, both occurring in different readings of the Kur, lv. 70, signify good in dispositions: accord. to Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, خَيْرَةٌ, applied to a woman, signifies generous in race, exalted in rank or quality or reputation, goodly in face, good in disposition, possessing much wealth, who, if she bring forth, brings forth a generous child: (TA:) [↓ خِيَارٌ is also applied as an epithet to a sing. subst., either masc. or fem.:] you say جَمَلٌ خِيَارٌ and نَاقَةٌ خِيَارٌ, meaning A he-camel [that is excellent or] excellent and brisk and so a she-camel. (TA.) See also مُخْتَارٌ, in three places. In the saying لَعَمَرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرُ, the word خَيْر is in the nom. case as an epithet of عَمْر; [so that the phrase lit. means By the good life of thy father;] but properly it should be لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرِ [By the life of thy good father]: and the like is said with شَرّ. (TA.) [See also art. عمر.]

b3: خَيْرٌ is also used to denote superiority: one says, هٰذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ هٰذَا This is better than this: and in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir, ↓ هٰذَا أَخْيَرُ مِنْ هٰذَا, with أ, and in like manner, أَشَّرُ; but the rest of the Arabs drop the أ in each case: (Msb:) you say, مِنْكَ ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ [He is better than thou], and in like manner, أَشَّرُ مِنْكَ; and هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ, and in like manner, شَرٌّ مِنْكَ; and, [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ,] مِنْكَ ↓ خُيَيْرٌ, and in like manner, شُرَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) Youalso say, when you mean to express the signification of superiority, فُلَانَةٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a woman is the best of mankind]; but not خَيْرَةُ: [see, however, what will be found cited hereafter from the K,] and فُلَانٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a man is the best of mankind]; but not ↓ أَخْيَرُ [unless in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir]: and [it is said that] خَيْرُ when thus used does not assume the dual form nor the pl., because it has the signification of [the measure] أَفْعَلُ: for though a poet uses the dual form, he uses it as a contraction of the dual of خَيِّرٌ, like مَيْتٌ and مَيِّتٌ, and هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ: (S:) [but. this remark in the S is incorrect: for both خَيْر and ↓ أَخْيَر, when used in such phrases as those to which J here refers, have pl. forms of frequent occurrence, and of which examples will be found below; and, as is said by I 'Ak (p. 239), and by many other grammarians, you may say, الزَّيْدَانِ أَفْضَلَا القَوْمِ, and الزَّيْدُونَ أَفْضَلُو القَوْمِ and أَفَاضِلُ القَوْمِ, and also هِنْدُ فُضْلَىالنِّسَآءِ, &c.; and such concordance is found in the Kur, vi. 123; and is even said by many to be more chaste than the mode prescribed by J:] it is said in the K, that you say, ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ مِنْكَ, like خَيْرُ; and when you mean the signification of superiority, you say فُلَانٌ خَيْرَةٌ النَّاسِ, with ة, and فُلَانَةُ خَيْرُهُمْ, without ة: but [SM says,] I know not how this is; for in the S is said what is different from this, and in like manner by Z in several places in the Ksh; and what is most strange is, that the author of the K quotes in the B the passage of J [from the S], and adopts the opinion of the leading authorities [as given in the S]: (TA:) or you say, فُلَانَةُ الخَيْرَةُ مِنَ المَرْأَتَيْنِ [Such a woman is the better of the two women]: and هِىَ الخَيْرَةُ, and ↓ الخِيرَةُ, [so in the TA, but in the CK الخِيَرَةُ,] and ↓ الخِيرَى, and ↓ الخُورَى, [the last being fem. of أَخْيَرُ, originally خُيْرَى, and so, app., the last but one, She is the better, or best:] (K:) and [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ] you say, أَهْلِهِ ↓ هُوَ خُيَيْرُ [He is the best of his family]: (Ibn-Buzurj, TA:) one says also, to one coming from a journey, خَيْرَ مَا رُدَّ فِى أَهْلٍ

وَمَالٍ, meaning May God make that with which thou comest [back] to be the best of what is brought back by the absent with family and property; (As, Meyd, TA;) or, as some relate it, خَيْرُ, i. e. رَدُّكَ خَيْرُ رَدٍّ [may thy bringing back be the best bringing back]; and فى is used in the sense of مَعَ: (Meyd:) [أَخْيَارٌ is pl. of pauc., and خِيَارٌ pl. of mult., and so app. is خِيرَانٌ, of خَيْرٌ thus used; and ↓ أَخَايِرُ is pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so is أَخْيَرُونَ applied to rational beings: in the TA, أَخَايِرُ is said to be a pl. pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so خِيرَانٌ; but this is app. a mistake, probably of transcription:] you say رَجُلٌ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ and أَخْيَارِهِمْ and ↓ أَخَايِرِهِمْ [A man of the best of mankind]: (A, TA:) and لَكَ خِيَارُ هٰذِهِ الإِبِلِ, and ↓ خِيرَتُهَا, [Thine are, or is, or shall be, the best of these camels,] alike with respect to a sing. and a pl.: (TA:) and إِبِلِهِ ↓ نَحَرَ خِيرَةَ and إِبِلِهِ ↓ خُورَةَ [He slaughtered the best of his camels]: (IAar, TA:) and ↓ هُمُ الأَخْيَرُونَ [They (meaning men) are the better, or best]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) A2: مَا خَيْرَ for مَا أَخْيَرَ: see 4, in two places.

(TA.) خِيرٌ Generousness; generosity; (S, A, Msb, K;) liberality; munificence. (Msb.) You say, فُلَانٌ ذُو خِيرٍ Such a one is a possessor of generousness, or generosity, &c. (Msb.) And هُوَ مِنْ وَالخِيرِ ↓ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ [He is of the people of good, or of wealth, &c., and of generosity]. (A.) b2: Eminence; elevated state or condition; nobility. (IAar, K.) b3: Origin.

خَيْرَةٌ fem. of خَيْرٌ [q. v.] used as an epithet: pl. خَيْرَاتٌ.

خِيرَةٌ: see خَيْرٌ, in three places, towards the end of the paragraph: b2: and see خِيَرَةٌ, in four places: b3: and خِيَارٌ. b4: It is also a subst. from خَارَاللّٰهُ لَكَ فِىهٰذَاالأَمْرِ, (S,) and so ↓ خِيَرَةٌ; both signifying [The blessing, prospering, or favour, of God; his causing one to have, or appointing to one, good in an affair: or his choosing for one the better thing in an affair: or] the state that results to him who begs God to cause him to have good, or to choose for him the better thing, in an affair. (TA.) You say, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ خِيرَةً مِنَ اللّٰهِ [That was through God's blessing, prospering, or favour; &c.: or through God's choosing the better thing in the affair]. (A.) خِيَرَةٌ and ↓ خِيرَةٌ (of which the former is the better known, TA) are substs. from اِخْتَارَهُ, (K,) or from اِخْتَارَهُ اللّٰهُ, (S,) both signifying A thing, man, or beast, and things, &c, that one chooses: (TA:) or [a thing, &c.,] chosen, selected, or elected: (Mgh:) as in the saying, مُحَمَّدُ خِيَرَةُ اللّٰهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ and ↓ خِيرَتُهُ [Mohammad is the chosen, or elect, of God, from his creatures]: (S, Mgh: *) or ↓ خِيرَةٌ is a subst. from الاِخْتِيَارٌ, like فِدْيَةٌ from الاِفْتِدَآءُ; and خِيَرَةٌ is syn. with خِيَارٌ and اِخْتِيَارٌ; or is from تَخَيَّرْتُ الشَّىْءَ: or, as some say, خِيرَةٌ and خِيَرَةٌ are syn.: (Msb:) see 8; and see also خِيَارٌ: and ↓ هٰذِهِ خِيرَتِى (Msb, TA) or خِيَرَتِى (TA) means This is what I choose; (Msb, (TA;) and so هٰذَا خيرتى: and هٰؤُلَآءِ خيرتى

(M, K.) b2: Also صَغُرَ, inf. n. صِغَرٌ and صَغَارٌ and صَغَارَةٌ and صُغْرَانٌ and صُغْرٌ (K) and صَغَرٌ, (TA,) He was content with vileness, baseness, abasement, or ignominy, (K,) and tyranny, or injury: (TA:) or صَغَرٌ is inf. n. of صَغِرَ, aor. ـَ signifying he was, or became, vile, base, or ignominious; (S, * Msb;) and so صُغْرٌ and صَغَارٌ: (Mgh:) or صَغَارٌ signifies the being small, or little, in estimation or rank or dignity: (TA:) and you say, صَغُرَ فِى عُيُونِ النَّاسِ, with damm, meaning, [he became small, or little, in the eyes of men; i. e.,] he lost his reverence, or reverend dignity. (Msb.) [See also 6.] One says also, هُوَ يَصْغُرُ عَنْ كَذَا He, or it, is smaller than, or too small for, such a thing; syn. يَقِلُّ. (TA in art. قل.) And صَغُرَتْ عَنِ الوَلَدِ [She was too young to bear offspring]. (S in art. جل, &c.) b3: مَا صَغَرَنِى إِلَّا بِسَنَةٍ, aor. ـُ means مَا صَغُرَ عَنِّى

[i. e. He was not younger than I, save by a year]. (IAar, K.) b4: And صَغُرَتِ الشَّمْسُ The sun inclined to setting. (Th, K.) 2 صغّرهُ, (inf. n. تَصْغِيرٌ, TA,) He made him, or it, small, or little; as also ↓ اصفرهُ. (S, K.) You say, القِرْبَةَ ↓ اصغر He sewed the water-skin [so as to make it] small. (S, K.) b2: صغّرهُ فِى عُيُونِ النَّاسِ He, or it, rendered him [small, or little, i. e.,] contemptible, vile, base, or ignominious, [in the eyes of men:] (A:) and [in like manner] he, or it, rendered him vile, base, or ignominious, (TA,) or content with vileness, baseness, abasement, or ignominy. (K.) b3: صَغَّرْتُ شَأْنَهُ (TA in art. غمز) and مِنْ شَأْنِهِ (S and TA in the same art.) [I lessened his rank, or dignity]. b4: صغّر الاِسْمَ, inf. n. تَصْغِيرٌ, He changed the noun into the diminutive form. (Msb.) This is done for several purposes: to denote the smallness of the thing signified, in itself; as in the instance of دُوَبْرَةٌ [“ a small, or little, house ”]: to denote its smallness in the eye of the speaker, when it is not small in itself; as in the saying ذَهَبَتِ الدَّرَاهِمُ إِلَّا دُرَيْهِمًا [“ the dirhems went, except a small dirhem ”]: to denote nearness; as in the instance of قُبَيْلَ الصُّبْحِ [“ a little before daybreak ”]: to denote affection and benevolence; as in the expression يَا بُنَىَّ [“ O my little (meaning dear) son ”]: to denote the greatness of the thing signified; as in the phrase سُنَيَّةٌ حَمْرَآءُ [“ a very severe year ”]: to denote praise; as when a man is described as كُنَيْفٌ مُلِئَ عِلْمًا [“ a little pastor's-bag filled with knowledge ”]: to denote blame; as in the expression يَا فُوَيْسِقُ [“ O thou little transgressor ”]. (L, TA.) [The inf. n., تَصْغِيرٌ, is also applied to A diminutive noun itself; as also اِسْمٌ مُصَغَّرٌ.] b5: See also 10.4 أَصْغَرَ see 2, in two places.

A2: اصغرت الأَرْضُ The land produced small plants or herbage, (K,) not tall. (TA.) b2: اِرْتَبَعُوا لِيُصْغِرُوا [They remained in the spring-pasture] in order that they might rear the younger ones: (O, K: expl. in the former by لِيُوَلِّد الأَصَاغِرَ [correctly لِيُوَلِّدُوا]: in the CK and my MS. copy of the K, by لِيُولِدُوا الأَصَاغِرَ [which is a manifest mistake].) b3: أَصْغَرَتِ النَّاقَةُ وَأَكْبَرَتْ (tropical:) The she-camel uttered her yearning cry to, or for, her young one, in a low tone, and loudly. (A.) 6 تصاغر He became small; he shrank, or became contracted; (O * and TA in art. ضأل;) by reason of abasement, (TA ibid.,) or from fear. (Ham p. 658.) b2: He became vile, base, ignominious, abject, or contemptible; (K, * TA;) came to nought. (TA.) And تصاغرت إِلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ He (lit. his soul or his own self) became of little importance, by being vile, base, or ignominious, to himself, or in his own estimation; (A, Msb;) he became vile, base, ignominious, abject, or contemptible, to himself, or in his own estimation. (S, * K, * TA.) b3: And [He affected, or feigned, abjectness; contr. of تَكَابَرَ: or] he exhibited abjectness. (KL.) 10 استصغرهُ He counted, accounted, reckoned, or esteemed, him, or it, small, or little: or vile, base, or ignominious: syn. عَدَّهُ صَغِيرًا: (S, K:) or young: as also ↓ صَغَّرَهُ. (TA.) صُغْرٌ (S, Msb) and ↓ صَغَارٌ, with fet-h, (S, [and so in the Kur vi. 124,]) or ↓ صُغَارٌ, with damm, (Msb, [but perhaps there is an omission in my copy of the Msb after this word,]) and ↓ صَغَرٌ, (S,) Vileness, baseness, abasement, or ignominiousness: (S, Msb:) so the second word signifies in the Kur vi. 124: (TA:) and tyranny, or oppression, or injury. (S.) One says, قُمْ عَلَى

صُغْرِكَ, and ↓ صَغَرِكَ, [Rise thou, notwithstanding thy vileness, or ignominiousness]. (S.) [See also 1, of which it is an inf. n.]

صَغَرٌ: see صُغْرٌ, in two places. [And see 1, of which it is an inf. n.]

فُلَانٌ صِغْرَتُهُمْ Such a one is the least, or youngest, of them: (K, * TA:) and فُلَانٌ صِغْرَةُ أَبَوَيْهِ, and صِغْرَةُ وَلَدِ أَبَوَيْهِ, Such a one is the least, or youngest, of the children of his parents: opposed to كِبْرَة. (TA.) And أَنَا مِنَ الصِّغْرَةِ I am of the little-ones, or of the young: (K:) said by an Arab child when he is forbidden to play. (TA.) صُغْرَانٌ: see صَغِيرٌ.

صَغَارٌ: see صُغْرٌ.

صُغَارٌ: see صَغِيرٌ: b2: and صُغْرٌ.

(TA.) You say, هُوَ صَغِيرٌ فِى القَدْرِ; and فِى العِلْمِ; [He is small, or little, in rank, or dignity; as also صَغِيرُ الشَّأْنِ; and in knowledge.] (A.) And جَآءَ النَّاسُ صَغِيرُهُمْ وَكَبِيرُهُمْ The people came: [the small in rank or dignity, of them, and the great therein, of them: or] those of no rank or dignity, and those of rank or dignity. (Msb.) [See also صَاغِرٌ.]

صَغِيرَةٌ, [a subst. from صَغِيرٌ, made such by the affix ة,] applied to a sin, [signifying A small or little, sin,] has for its pl. صَغِيرَاتٌ and [more commonly] صَغَائِرُ; being, when thus applied, a subst. (Msb.) [See مُحَقَّرَاتٌ.]

صُغَيِّرٌ and صُغَيِّيرٌ dims. of صَغِيرٌ, q. v.

صَاغِرٌ In a state of vileness, abasement, ignominiousness, abjectness or contempt: (Msb:) or content with vileness, abasement, or ignominy, (K,) and tyranny, or injury. (S, A, TA.) [See also صَغِيرٌ.]

أَصْغَرُ [Smaller, or less; and smallest, or least; in body, or corporeal substance; and in estimation or rank or dignity; and in years, or age]: (S, Msb, K:) fem. صُغْرَى: (S, Msb:) pl. masc. أَصَاغِرُ (Sb, S, K) and أَصَاغِرَةٌ, (M, K,) though the sing. is not of the nouns which regularly add ة to the pl., and it is added in this case because the sing. resembles in form قَشْعَمٌ, of which قَشَاعِمَةٌ is a pl., (ISd,) and أَصْغَرُونَ: (Sb, S:) and pl. fem. صُغَرٌ (Sb, S, Msb) and صُغْرَيَاتٌ: (Msb:) but Sb says, you do not say نِسْوَةٌ صُغَرٌ, nor قَوْمٌ أَصَاغِرُ, except with the article ال: and he adds, we have heard the Arabs says, الأَصَاغِرُ [perhaps miswritten for الأَصَاغِرَةُ]; and if you please, you may say الأَصْغَرُونَ. (S.) b2: الأَصْغَرَانِ [lit. The two less, or least, things,] means (assumed tropical:) the heart and the tongue. (K.) It is said in a prov., المَرْءُ بِأَصْغَرَيْهِ, meaning, (assumed tropical:) The man obtains power over things, and manages them thoroughly, by means of his heart and his tongue. (ISk, TA.

بن

ى1 بَنَاهُ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـِ (M, Msb,) and بَنُىَ, but the former is the more common, (M,) [or rather the only form commonly known,] inf. n. بِنَآءٌ (T, S, M, Mgh, K) and بِنًا (T, and TA as from the M [but it is not in the transcript of the M in the TT]) and بَنْىٌ and بُنْيَانٌ and بِنْيَةٌ and بنَايَةٌ, (M, K,) He built it; framed it; constructed it; contr. of هَدَمَهُ; (M, K;) namely, a house, (S, Mgh, Msb,) or tent, (S, * Msb,) &c.; (Msb;) as also ↓ ابتناه, (S, M, Msb, K,) and ↓ بنّاهُ; (M, K;) or the last has teshdeed given to it to denote muchness, or frequency, or repetition, of the action, or its application to many objects; and hence you say, بنّى قُصُورًا [He built palaces, or pavilions: or he raised them high: see the pass. part. n. below]. (S, TA.) AHn speaks of a kind of plank as being used فِى بِنَآءِ السُّفُنِ [in the construction of ships]: but بِنَآءٌ is originally used only in relation to that which does not grow; as stone, and clay, and the like. (M.) You say also, بَنَى أَرْضًا, for بَنَى فِى أَرْضٍ [He built in, or upon, land]. (Mgh.) b2: [Hence,] بَنَى عَلَى أَهْلِهِ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) or عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ, (Mgh,) and بَنَى بِهَا also, (M, Mgh, Msb, K,) accord. to IDrd (Mgh, Msb) and IJ, (M,) and occurring in traditions and elsewhere, though said in the S to be vulgar, (IAth, MF,) and said to be so by ISk, (T, Msb,) and by some said to be not allowable, (M,) but the former is the more chaste, (Msb,) inf. n. بِنَآءٌ; (S, TA;) as also ↓ ابتنى, (K,) i. e. ابتنى عليها, (ISk, Msb,) or ابتنى بِهَا, (IJ, M,) He had his wife conducted to him on the occasion of the marriage: (ISk, T, S, Msb, K:) or he went in to his wife [for the first time]: (Mgh, Msb:) originating from the fact that the bridegroom used, on that occasion, to pitch a tent for her, (ISk, T, S, Mgh, Msb,) a new tent, (Mgh, Msb,) and furnish it with what was requisite, (Msb,) or a new tent was set up for him, (Mgh, Msb,) in honour of him. (Msb.) [See also بَيْتٌ.] b3: بِنَايَةٌ is sometimes used in relation to nobility: (M, K:) and the verb thus used is بَنَى, as above, (T, M,) having [also] بِنًى for its inf. n., (IAar, T,) and بِنَآءٌ; held by many to be tropical, but by some to be proper. (MF.) Lebeed says, فَسَمَا إِلَيْهِ كَهْلُهَا وَ غُلَامُهَا فَبَنَى لَنَا رَفِيعًا سَمْكُهُ (M) And He (namely, God,) hath built for us a house of nobility of lofty pitch, and its (the tribe's) middle-aged and its youth have risen to it: i. e., all of them have attained to high degrees. (EM, p. 180.) b4: بَنَى بَدَنَهُ It (food) fattened his body, (K,) and made it large: (TA:) and بَنَى لَحْمَهُ, (T, M, K,) aor. ـِ (TA,) inf. n. بِنَآءٌ, (M,) or بَنْىٌ, (TA,) It (food) made his flesh to grow, (T, M, K,) and to become large. (T, TA.) b5: بَنَى الرَّجُلَ He reared, brought up, or educated, the man; (M, K;) as also ↓ ابتناهُ. (M.) b6: [بَنَى كَلِمَةً, inf. n. بِنَآءٌ, He formed a word. b7: and He made a word indeclinable, so as to end invariably with a quiescent letter or with a particular vowel.] بِنَآءُ كَلِمَةٍ [when the former word is considered as the inf. n. of the pass. form بُنِىَ, generally] signifies A word's keeping always the same mode of termination, ending with a quiescent letter or with a particular vowel, not by reason of any governing word: (M, K:) as though the word resembled a fixed, immoveable building. (M.) [You say, بُنِيَتْ عَلَى السُّكُونِ It was made indeclinable, with a quiescent letter for its termination; and عَلَى الفَتْحِ with fet-h for its termination; &c. b8: And in like manner you say, بَنَى القَصِيدَةَ عَلَى البَآءِ, &c., He made the قصيدة to have ب, &c., for its rhyme-letter, or its chief rhyme-letter.]

A2: بَنَتِ القَوْسُ عَلَى وَتَرِهَا The bow clave to its string (T, S, K) so that it (the latter) almost broke. (T, S.)

(T.) It is said in a prov., المِعْزَي تُبْهِى وَلَا تُبْنِى

[Goats rend, or make holes, and render vacant, and do not afford materials for fabricating tents]; i. e., they do not yield hair of which a tent is fabricated; (T, S; *) for the tents of the Arabs [of the desert] are of the kind called طِرَاف, made of skin, and أَخْبِيَة, made of wool or of camels' fur, and not of شَعَر [by which is especially meant goats' hair], (S,) or, as is found in the handwriting of Aboo-Sahl, of wool or of skin: (TA:) or the meaning is, goats rend tents, or pierce them with holes, by their leaping upon them, (T and S in art. بهو,) so that they cannot be inhabited, (S in that art.,) and do not aid in the fabrication of tents; for the goats of the Arabs of the desert have short hair, not long enough to be spun; whereas the goats of the cold countries, and of the people of the fertile regions, have abundant hair, and of this the Akrád [or Kurdees] fabricate their tents. (T.) b2: [Hence,] He introduced him to his wife [on the occasion of his marriage]: whence the saying of 'Alee, مَتَى تُبْنيِنِى, accord. to IAth properly meaning مَتَى تَجْعَلُنِى أَبْنِى بِزَوْجَتِى

[When wilt thou make me to have my wife conducted to me? or, to go in to my wife?]. (TA.) 5 تَبَنَّتْ, said of a woman sitting, (T, TA,) She became like a tent (T, IAth, K, * TA) of the kind called مِبْنَاةٌ, (T, TA,) i. e., a قُبَّة of skin; by reason of her fatness, (T, IAth, TA,) and largeness, (T, TA,) or fleshiness: (IAth, TA:) or she parted her legs; as though from مِبْنَاة, i. e. a قُبَّة of skin, which, when pitched, is spread out by the ropes: so this woman, sitting cross-legged, spread apart her legs. (T, TA.) And تبنّى, said of a camel's hump, It became fat. (M.) A2: تبنّاهُ He adopted him as a son: (S, K:) or he asserted him to be, or claimed him as, a son: (M:) and تبنّى بِهِ signifies the same. (Zj, TA.) 8 ابتنى: see 1, in three places.

A2: Also It became built, framed, or constructed. (Msb.) بِنْتٌ; pl. بَنَاتٌ: fem. of اِبْنٌ, which see, in three places.

بُنًى: see بِنَآءٌ.

بِنًى: see بِنَآءٌ.

بَنَاةُ اللَّحْمِ, (IB, TA,) the former of which words is incorrectly written in the K بنات, (TA,) A girl whose flesh has been made to grow and become large: (IB, K, TA: [in the CK, مَبْنِيَّةٌ is erroneously put for مَبْنِيَّتُهُ:]) or, accord. to a learned scholiast, this is a mistake of IB, and the meaning is sweet in odour; i. e. sweet in the odour of the flesh. (TA.) بَنَاتٌ: pl. of بِنْتٌ; and sometimes of اِبْنٌ: see اِبْنٌ.

بَنُونَ: pl. of اِبْنٌ, which see below.

بَنَوِىٌّ Of, or relating to, a son; rel. n. of اِبْنٌ; as also ↓ اِبْنِىٌّ [with ا when connected with a preceding word]: (S, Msb:) the latter is allowable, (Msb,) and used by some. (S.) And Of, or relating to, a daughter; rel. n. of بِنْتٌ; as also ↓ بِنْتِىٌّ: (S, M, Msb, K:) the latter accord. to Yoo; (S, M;) but rejected by Sb.

بِنَآءٌ [originally an inf. n.: (see 1, first sentence:) then applied to A building; a structure; an edifice;] a thing that is built, or constructed; pl. أَبْنِيَةٌ, and pl. pl. أَبْنِيَاتٌ: (M, K:) and ↓ بُنْيَانٌ [also] has this meaning; (Msb;) [and is likewise originally an inf. n.;] or this signifies a wall; syn. حَائِطٌ; (S;) or it may be a pl., [or rather a coll. gen. n., meaning buildings, structures, edifices, or walls,] of which the sing. [or n. un.] is ↓ بُنْيَانَةٌ, and as such may be masc. and fem: (Er-Rághib, TA:) ↓ بِنْيَةٌ and ↓ بُنْيَةٌ also signify [the same as بِنَآءٌ as explained above; or] a thing that one has built, framed, or constructed; (M, K;) or, accord. to some, the former of these two relates to objects of the senses, and the latter to objects of the mind, to glory or honour or the like; (MF, TA;) and their pls. are ↓ بِنًى and ↓ بُنًى; (K;) or, accord. to the S and M, these two appear to be sings.; (TA;) [or they may be pls. or sings.; for J says that] البُنَى is like البِنَى; one says, بُنْيَةٌ and بُنًى, and بِنْيَةٌ and بِنًى; (S;) [and ISd says that] بِنْيَةٌ and بُنْيَةٌ signify as above, and so بِنًى and بُنًى; or, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, بِنًى is pl. of بِنْيَةٌ; or it may be used by poetic licence for بِنَآءٌ: (M:) accord. to IAar, بِنًى signifies buildings, or structures, of clay: and also [tents] of wool; (T;) and بِنَآءٌ likewise signifies a tent (M, TA) in which the Arabs of the desert dwell, in the desert, (TA,) such as is called خِبَآء; (M, TA; *) and طِرَافٌ and قُبَّةٌ and مِضْرَبٌ are names applied to dwellings of the same kind; (TA;) pl. أَبْنِيَةٌ: (M:) the moveable dwelling, such as the خَيْمَة and مِظَلَّة and فُسْطَاط and سُرَادِق and the like, is called بِنَآءٌ as being likened to the building of burnt bricks and of clay and of gypsum. (M.) [See also بَنِيَّةٌ.]

b2: Also The roof, or ceiling, of a house or chamber or the like; as in the Kur [ii. 20], الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرْضَ فِراشًا وَ السَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً [Who hath made for you the earth as a bed, and the heaven as a roof, or ceiling]: (S, [but wanting in some copies,] and Jel:) so says Az: (S:) or the meaning here is, as a tent (قُبَّة) pitched over you. (Bd.) b3: And The body, with the limbs or members. (TA.) b4: And i. q. نِطْعٌ [A thing that is spread on the ground to serve as a table for food &c., made of leather; like مِبْنَاةٌ]: occurring in a trad., where it is mentioned as spread on the ground, on a day of rain, for Mohammad to pray upon: so says Sh. (T.) بُنَىٌّ, [said to be] originally بُنَيْوٌ, A little son; [used as a term of endearment;] (Msb;) dim. of اِبْنٌ. (S, Mgh, Msb.) You say, يَا بُنَىِّ and يَا بُنَىَّ [O my little son, or O my child], with kesr to the ى and with fet-h also; like as you say, يَا أَبَتِ and يَا أَبَتَ [which see in art. ابو, voce أَبٌ]. (Fr, S, K.) [The fem. is بُنَيَّةٌ A little daughter; dim. of بِنْتٌ. And hence,] b2: بُنَيَّاتُ الطَّرِيقَ The small roads that branch off from the main road; (S;) what are termed التُّرَّهَاتُ. (S, K.) b3: The Arabs say, الرِّفْقُ بُنَىُّ الحِلْمِ, meaning الرفق is like الحلم. (IAar, ISd.) بُنُوَّةٌ Sonship: (Lth, Zj, S, M, Msb, K:) [it may be originally بُنُويَةٌ, for Az says, app. on the authority of Zj,] it is not a decisive proof that the last radical is و, since they say فُتُوَّةٌ, though the dual [of the word from which this is derived] is فَتَيَانِ; (T;) [and ISd says that] بُنُوَّةٌ is thus because of the dammeh. (M.) البَنِيَّةُ [properly The building, like البِنَآءُ &c.: but particularly applied to] the Kaabeh; (S, M, K;) because of its nobleness. (M, K.) One says, لَا وَرَبِّ هٰذِهِ البَنِيَّةِ مَا كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا [No, by the Lord of this building (the Kaabeh), such and such thing were not]: (S, TA:) and this was a common form of oath. (TA.) The Kaabeh is also called بَنِيَّةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ [The building of Abraham]; because he built it. (TA.) بَنَّآءٌ A builder; [meaning one whose business is that of building;] an architect. (M.) [See also what next follows.]

بَانٍ [Building, framing, or constructing]: accord. to A'Obeyd, its pl. is أَبْنَآءٌ; and in like manner, أَجْنَآءٌ is pl. of جَانٍ: and hence the prov., أَبْنَاؤُهَا أَجْنَاؤُهَا, (M,) or أَجْنَاؤُهَا أَبْنَاؤُهَا, i. e. The injurers thereof, meaning this house (هٰذِهِ الدَّار), by demolishing it, are the builders thereof. (S in art. جنى.) ISd says, I am of opinion that these two pls. are not used except in this prov.: and J says, in art. جنى, I think that the prov. is originally جُنَاتُهَا بُنَاتُهَا; but IB affirms that it is not so: and he says that the prov. is applied to him who does, or makes, a thing without consideration, and commits a fault therein, which he repairs by undoing what he has done or made: it originated from the fact that the daughter of a certain king of El-Yemen, during his absence on a military expedition, built, by the advice of others, a house, which he, disliking it, commanded them to demolish. (TA in art. جنى. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 294.]) b2: A bridegroom: from بَنَى عَلَى

أَهْلِهِ [q. v.]. (TA.) And hence, Any one going in to his wife. (S, TA.) b3: قَوْسٌ بَانِيةٌ A bow cleaving to its string (T, S, M, K) so that it (the latter) almost breaks; (T, S, M;) the doing of which is a fault; (M;) contr. of بَائِنَةٌ [q. v.]: (S and M in art. بين:) and so ↓ بَانَاةٌ (T, M, K) in the dial. of Teiyi: (T, M:) or the latter signifies widely separate from its string [like بَائِنَةٌ]. (TA.) بَانَاةٌ: see بَانٍ. b2: Also, (in [some of] the copies of the K erroneously written بانات, TA,) A man bending himself over his bow-string when shooting. (M, K.) b3: And Small نَبْل [or arrows]. (M and TA in art. بين.) بَانِيَةٌ fem. of بَانٍ [q. v.]. b2: Also sing. of بَوَانٍ, (TA,) which signifies The ribs of [the breast, or of the part thereof called] the زَوْر: (M, K:) or the bones of the breast: or the shoulder-blades and the four legs: (TA:) and the legs of a she-camel. (M, K.) One says, [likening a man to a camel lying down,] أَلْقَى بَوَانِيهُ, meaning He took up his abode, and settled, (T, M, K,) in a place; like أَلْقَى عَصَاهُ. (T, M.) أَلْقَى الشَّأْمُ بَوَانِيَهُ [meaning Syria became in a settled state] occurs in a trad. as related by A'Obeyd: and if he said بَوَائِنَهُ, it would be allowable; بَوَائِنُ being pl. of بوان, [i. e. بُوَانٌ or بِوَانٌ,] which is a name for any tent-pole except in the middle of the بَيْت, which has three poles. (T.) And it is said in another trad., أَلْقَتِ السَّمَآءُ بِرَكَ بَوَانِيهَا, meaning The sky cast down the rain that it contained. (TA.) اِبْنٌ, meaning A son; (M, Mgh, K;) because he is the father's building, made to be so by God; (Er-Rághib, TA;) and (tropical:) a son's son; and (tropical:) a descendant more remote; (Msb;) is with a conjunctive ا [when not immediately preceded by a quiescence, written ابْنٌ]; (Zj, T, M;) [and when immediately preceded by the proper name of a man and immediately followed by the proper name of his parent, written without the ا, as in زَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو Zeyd the son of 'Amr (in which case it should also be observed that the former proper name is without tenween); unless the words compose a proposition, as in زَيْدٌ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو Zeyd is the son of 'Amr; or in the case of an interrogation, as in هَلْ زَيْدٌ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو Is Zeyd the son of 'Amr?]: the pl. is ↓ بَنُونَ (T, S, Mgh, Msb) in the nom. case, and بَنِينَ in the accus. and gen.; (Mgh;) and أَبْنَآءٌ, (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) which is a pl. of pauc.: (Msb:) [and hence it is argued that] the sing. is of the measure فَعَلٌ with the final radical letter elided and the conjunctive ا prefixed; (M;) originally بَنَىٌ, (M, K,) with ى, as we judge, because [the aor. ـَ is more common than يَبْنُو: (M:) or originally بَنَوٌ, (S, Msb, K,) with two fet-hahs, because it has بَنُونَ for a pl., and the perfect pl. does not admit of change [in its vowels beyond that which is here made in بَنُونَ for بَنَوُونَ]; (Msb;) and because it has for a pl. أَبْنَآءٌ, like as جَمَلٌ has أَجْمَالٌ; (S;) and the elided letter is و, (Akh, T, S,) as in أَبٌ and أَخٌ, (S,) because و is more commonly elided than ى; (Akh, T;) or because the fem. is بِنْتٌ and [that of أَخٌ is] أُخْتٌ; for we do not see this ه [or ت] affixed in the fem. except when و is elided in the masc., as is shown by أَخَوَاتٌ and هَنَوَاتٌ; (S;) though بُنُوَّةٌ is not a decisive proof that the last radical is و, for a reason stated above in the explanation of it: (T:) or, as some say, it is originally بِنْوٌ, with kesr to the. ب, like حِمْلٌ, because they say بِنْتٌ, and a change [of a vowel] in a case of this kind is rare: (Msb:) [but J says,] it may not be of the measure فِعْلٌ nor فُعْلٌ, because it has بَنُونَ with fet-h to the ب, for a pl.; nor of the measure فَعْلٌ, because this has [generally] for its [broken] pl. أَفْعُلٌ or فُعُولٌ: (S:) Zj says that it is originally بِنْىٌ or بِنْوٌ, or it may be originally بَنًا; that it is app. the last accord. to those who say بَنُون; and that أَبْنَآءٌ may be pl. of the measure فَعَلٌ and of فِعْلٌ; that بِنْتٌ favours its being of the latter; but that it may be of the measure فَعَلٌ changed to فِعْلٌ, as فَعَلٌ is changed to فُعْلٌ in the case of أُخْتٌ. (T.) Beside the pls. mentioned above, اِبْنٌ has a quasi-pl. n., namely ↓ أَبْنَى, of the same measure as أَعْمَى; (Mgh, TA; *) a sing. denoting the pl.: or, as some say, اِبْنٌ has for pls. أَبْنَآءٌ and أَبْنَى. (TA.) Lh mentions the phrase, هٰؤُلَآءِ أَبْنَا أَبْنَائِهِمْ [or أَبْنَى ابنائهم These are the sons of their sons.]. (M.) Sometimes م is affixed to اِبْنٌ [so that it becomes ↓ اِبْنُمٌ or اِبْنَمٌ at the beginning of a sentence, and ↓ ابْنُمٌ or ابُنَمٌ in other cases]: the word is then doubly declinable [like اِمْرُؤٌ or امْرُأٌ]: you say, هٰذَا ابْنُمٌ [This is a son], and رَأَيْتُ ابْنَمًا [I saw a son], and مَرَرْتُ بِابْنِمٍ

[I passed by a son]; making the ن similarly declinable to the م; and the ا is with kesr in every case [when the word commences a sentence, whether you make the word doubly declinable or not]: (AHeyth, * S:) [for] some make it singly declinable, leaving the ن with fet-h in every case [as the ر in اِمْرَأٌ or امْرَأٌ]; saying, هٰذَا ابْنَمُكَ [This is thy son], and رَأَيْتُ ابْنَمَكَ [I saw thy son], and مَرَرْتُ بِابْنَمِكَ [I passed by thy son]. (AHeyth, TA.) Hassán says, وَلَدْنَا بَنِى العَنْقَآءِ وَابْنَىْ مُحَرِّقٍ

↓ فَأَكْرِمْ بِنَا خَالًا وَأَكْرِمْ بِنَا ابْنَمَا [We begot the sons of El-'Ankà, and the two sons of Moharrik; and how generous are we as a maternal uncle! and how generous are we as a son!], (S, K, *) i. e., ابْنَا: the م is augmentative, and the hemzeh [or rather ا] is that of conjunction. (K.) And Ru-beh says, ↓ فَهْىَ تُنَادِى بِأَبِى وَابْنِيمَا بُكَآءَ شَكْلَى فَقَدَتْ حَمِيمَا [As the weeping of a bereft woman, who has lost a relation, therefore she calls out, With my father would I ransom thee, and a son]; meaning ابْنِمَا. (TA.) The fem. of اِبْنٌ is ↓ اِبْنَةٌ or ابْنَةٌ [with the conjunctive ا when not commencing a sentence] and ↓ بِنْتٌ [meaning A daughter; and (assumed tropical:) any female descendant]: (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) accord. to Sb, (M,) اِبْنَةٌ is formed from اِبْنٌ by affixing ه [or ة]; but not so بِنْتٌ; for this is formed by affixing ى as a letter of quasi-coordination, and then substituting for it ت: (M, K:) [but if the ت be substituted for ى, it seems more probable that the ى is the final radical:] or, as some say, the ت is substituted for و: (M:) [Mtr says,] the ت is substituted for the final radical: (Mgh:) accord. to Ks, it is originally with ه [or ة], because it has a fem. meaning: (IAar, Msb:) [my own opinion is most agreeable with this of Ks; and with that of Zj, which will be mentioned below; or, perhaps, is identical with that of Zj: I think it most probable that, as اِبْنٌ is generally held to be originally بَنَىٌ or بَنَوٌ, so اِبْنَةٌ and بِنْتٌ are both originally بَنَيَةٌ or بَنَوَةٌ, and that بِنْتٌ is formed from اِبْنَةٌ by suppressing the alif, transferring its kesreh to the ب, making the ن quiescent, and changing the ة into ت, which is therefore said to be not the sign of the fem. gender, either because it is not ة, but is a substitute for ة, or because it is preceded by a quiescent letter:] AHn says that the ت is substituted for the final radical letter, which is و; and that it is not the sign of the fem. gender, because the letter [next] before it is quiescent: this [he says] is the opinion of Sb, and is the right opinion; for he says that if you were to use it as the proper name of a man, you would make it perfectly decl.; and if the ت were to denote the fem. gender, the name would not be perfectly decl.: (TA:) and the same is said respecting the ت in أُخْتٌ: (TA in art. اخو:) this ت remains in a case of pause (Ks, IAar, S, Msb) as in the case of the connexion of the word with a word following: (S:) but one should not say اِبِنْتٌ, (Th, T, S.) because the ا is required only on account of the quiescence of the ب, and is therefore dropped when this is made movent: (S:) Zj says that, in forming the pl. of بِنْتٌ [and of اِبْنَةٌ], the sing. is reduced to its original form, which is فَعْلَةٌ [as I find it written in the transcript from the T in the TT, but it may be a mistake for فَعَلَپٌ,] with the last radical letter suppressed: (T in TT:) the pl. is بَنَاتٌ (T, S, Msb) alone: (S:) [and this is generally treated as a fem. pl. of the perfect, or sound, kind, although the ت in بِنْتٌ is said to be not a sign of the fem. gender; so that you say, رَأَيْتُ بَنَاتِكَ I saw thy daughters; but sometimes] one says, رَأَيْتُ بَنَاتَكَ, with fet-h [as the case-ending], treating the ت as a radical letter. (S.) It is said in the Bári' that when men and women are mixed together, the masc. pl. is made predominant; so that one says, بَنُو فُلَانٍ [meaning The sons and daughters, or the children, of such a one]; and even, اِمْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنى

تَمِيمٍ [A woman of the children of Temeem]; and accordingly, if بَنُو فُلَانٍ is applied to denote the persons to whom a legacy is left, the males and the females are included therein. (Msb.) b2: When اِبْن is applied to that which is not a human being, (IAmb, Msb,) to an irrational being, (Msb,) it has for its pl. بَنَات: (IAmb, Msb:) thus the pl. of اِبْنُ مَخَاضٍ [A young male camel in his second year] is بَنَاتُ مَخَاضٍ: (Mgh, Msb:) that of اِبْنُ لَبُونٍ [A male camel that has entered upon his third year] is بَنَاتُ لَبُونٍ: (Msb:) and that of اِبْنُ نَعْشٍ [Any one of the stars of the tail of Ursa Major or of that of Ursa Minor] is بَنَاتُ نَعْشٍ; but sometimes, by poetic licence, بَنُو نَعْشٍ: and hence, or to make a distinction between the males and the females, the lawyers say, بَنُو اللَّبُونِ. (IAmb, Msb.) b3: ↓ بَنَاتٌ also signifies (tropical:) Dolls with which young girls play: (S, Mgh, K:) sing. بِنْتٌ. (Mgh.) It occurs in this sense in a trad., in which 'Áïsheh speaks of her playing therewith (S, Mgh) when, being nine years of age, she was conducted as a bride to Mohammad. (Mgh.) b4: اِبْن is often prefixed to some other noun (T, M, Msb) that particularizes its signification, because of a close connexion between the two meanings: (Msb:) and so is ↓ بِنْت. (T, M.) [Most of the compounds thus formed will be found explained in the arts. to which belong the nouns that occupy the second place. The following are among the more common, and are therefore here mentioned, as exs. of different kinds.] b5: اِبْنُ الطِّينِ [The son of earth, or clay, meaning] Adam. (T.) اِبْنُ اللَّيْلِ and اِبْنُ الطَّرِيقِ The thief, or robber. (T.) Also the former, The wayfarer, or traveller; (Er-Rághib, TA;) and so اِبْنُ السَّبِيلِ. (Msb, Er-Rághib.) اِبْنُ حَرْبٍ A warrior: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and اِبْنُ الحَرْبِ [the warrior; or] he who suffices for war, and who defends. (Msb.) اِبْنُ الدُّنْيَا The rich man. (Msb.) b2: اِبْنُ آوَى [The jackal;] a certain beast of prey. (TA.) اِبْنُ عِرْسٍ

The سُرْعُوب [or weasel]. (TA.) b3: اِبْنُ أَدِيمٍ A skin for water or milk made of one hide; and اِبْنُ أَدِيمَيْنِ one made of two hides; and اِبْنُ ثَلَاثَهِ

آدِمَةٍ one made of three hides. (T.) b4: اِبْنَةُ الجَبَلِ The echo. (T.) b5: بَنَاتُ بِئْسٍ and بَنَاتُ طَبَقٍ and بَنَاتُ بَرْحٍ and بَنَاتُ أَوْدَكَ Calamities, or misfortunes. (T.) b6: Ru-beh said of a man who was mentioned to him, كَانَ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ مَسَاجِدِ اللّٰهِ; as though he asserted that He was one of the pebbles of the mosque [or rather of the mosques of God]. (S.) اِبْنَةٌ or ابْنَةٌ: fem. of اِبْنٌ, which see.

اِبْنُمٌ and اِبْنَمٌ, or ابْنُمٌ and ابْنَمٌ: see اِبْنٌ, in three places.

أَبْنَى: quasi-pl. n. of اِبْنٌ which see.

اِبْنَىٌّ: see بَنَوِىٌّ.

ابْنِيمَا, for ابْنِمَا: see a verse cited voce اِبْنٌ.

أُبَيْنٌ [an unused, or unusual, dim. of اِبْنٌ]: see what next follows.

أُبَيْنٍ, of the same measure as أُعَيْمٍ, is the dim. of أَبْنَى, which is like أَعْمَى, (Sb, IB, Mgh,) and is quasi-pl. of اِبْنٌ. (Mgh.) Mohammad is related, in a trad., to have said, أُبَيْنِى لَا تَرْمُوا جَمْرَةَ العَبَقَبِةِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ [O little (meaning dear) sons, cast not ye the pebble of the 'Akabeh (see جَمْرَةٌ) until the sun rise], (TA,) or أُبَيْنِىَّ الخ [O my little sons &c.]: (Mgh, TA:) IAth says that the hemzeh is augmentative; and that there are differences of opinion respecting the form of the word and its meaning: some say that it is the dim. of أَبْنَى, like أَعْمَى, a sing. word denoting a pl. meaning, or, accord. to some, a pl. of اِبْنٌ, as well as أَبْنَآءٌ: some say that it is the dim. of اِبْنٌ; [and if so, we must read أُبَيْنِى my little son;] but this requires consideration [more especially as it is followed by a pl. verb]: AO says that it is the dim. of بَنِىَّ, pl. of اِبْنٌ with the affixed pronoun of the first Pers\. [sing.]; and this requires us to read أُبَيْنِىَّ. (TA.) J says, in the S, that the dim. of أَبْنَآءٌ [pl. of اِبْنٌ] is ↓ أُبَيْنَآءٌ, and, if you will, ↓ أُبَيْنُونَ; and he cites a verse in which occurs the expression أُبَيْنِيكَ, [in the gen. case, meaning thy little sons,] and adds, it is as though its sing. were إِبْنٌ, with the disjunctive ا, whence the dim. ↓ أُبَيْنٌ, in the pl. أُبَيْنُونَ: but he should have said, as though its sing. were أَبْنَى, like أَعْمَى, originally أَبْنَوُ. (IB, TA.) أُبَيْنَآء: see what next precedes.

أُبَيْنُونَ: see what next precedes.

مِبْنَاةٌ (T, S, M, K) and مَبْنَاةٌ (M, K) A نِطْع [like بِنَآءٌ, which see for an explanation]: (S, M, K:) and a سِتْر [i. e. curtain or the like]: (K:) or a thing in the form of a سِتْر: (M:) or a [tent of the kind called] قُبَّة, made of skins, or hides: (IAar, T:) or a thing of skins, or hides, of like form to the قُبَّة, which a woman places in, or at, the side of her tent (فِى كِسْرِ بَيْتِهَا), and in which she dwells; and may-be she has sheep, or goats, and is content with the possession of these, exclusively of the other sheep, or goats, for herself and her garments [and app. for making of their skins her مبناه]; and she has a covering (إِزَار) [extended] in the middle of the بَيْت [or tent], within, to protect her from the heat, and from the violent rain, so that she and her clothes are not wetted: (Aboo-'Adnán, T:) or, accord. to As, a mat (حَصِيرٌ), or a نِطْع, which the trafficker spreads upon the things that he sells: and they used to put the mats (الحُصُر) upon the أَنْطَاع [pl. of نِطْع], and go round about with them [in the market]: the مبناة is thus called because it is made of skins joined together: (T:) also a receptacle of the kind called عَيْبَة: (M, K:) such is said to be its meaning: (S:) pl. مَبَانٍ. (T.) مَبْنِىٌّ [Built, &c.: see 1]. أَرْضٌ مَبْنِيَّةٌ meansأَرْضٌ مَبْنِىٌّ فِيهَا [Land built in or upon]; and is deemed a chaste phrase. (Mgh.) مُبَنًّى Raised high; applied to a palace, or pavilion. (M, TA.) مُبْتَنًى [pass. part. n. of اِبْتَنَاهُ] is used in the place of the inf. n. [of that verb, agreeably with many other instances, or accord. to a common licence], meaning The act of building, framing, or constructing. (TA.)

دين

1 دَانَ, (IAar, S, K, TA,) aor. ـِ (IAar, M, K, TA,) [inf. n. دِينٌ, (which see below,) in this and most of the other senses, or the inf. n. is دَيْنٌ, and دِينٌ is a simple subst.,] He was, or became, obedient; he obeyed: (IAar, S, M, K, TA:) this is the primary signification: or, as some say, the primary signification is the following; namely, he was, or became, abased and submissive: (IAar, * K, * TA:) or he was, or became, abased and enslaved and obedient. (S.) You say, دَانَ لَهُ, (S,) and دِنْتُ لَهُ and دِنْتُهُ, (M, TA,) He, and I, was, or became, obedient to him [&c.], or obeyed him [&c.]. (S, M, TA.) and دِنْتُهُ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ (K,) I served him, did service for him, or ministered to him, and acted well to him. (M, K.) b2: [Hence,] He became [a servant of God, or] a Muslim. (TK.) Yousay, دَانَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ, inf. n. دِينٌ, with kesr, [and دِيَانَةٌ,] He became, or made himself, a servant of God by [following the religion of] El-Islám; [i. e. he followed El-Islám as his religion;] and so ↓ تديّن. (Msb.) And دَانَ بِكَذا, (S,) and دِنْتُ بِهِ, (M, K,) inf. n. دِيَانَةٌ [and دِينٌ]; and به ↓ تديّن, [and تديّنتُ به; He, and I, followed such a thing as his, and my, religion;] (S, TA;) from دِينٌ as signifying “ obedience. ” (S.) and دان بِدِينِهِمْ He followed them in their religion; agreed with them, or was of one mind or opinion with them, upon, or respecting, their religion; took, or adopted, their religion as his. (TA.) And the trad. of 'Alee, مَحَبَّةُ العُلَمَآءُ دِينٌ يُدَانُ اللّٰهُ بِهِ [The love of the learned is a kind of religion with which God is served]. (TA.) In the phrase وَ لَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الحَقِّ [Nor follow the religion of the truth, or the true religion], in the Kur ix. 29, El-Islám is meant. (Jel.) A2: Also He was, or became, disobedient; he disobeyed: and he was, or became, mighty, potent, powerful, or strong; or high, or elevated, in rank, condition, or state; noble, honourable, glorious, or illustrious. (IAar, T, K.) Thus it bears significations contr. to those mentioned in the first part of this paragraph. (MF.) A3: Also, (S, M, Msb, K,) first Pers\. دِنْتُ, (T, M8gh,) aor. as above, (T, S, Msb,) inf. n. دَيْنٌ, (S, Msb,) from المُدَايَنَةُ, (Msb, [see 3,]) i. q. أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ, (IKt, M, Msb, K,) or [rather] أَخَذَ دَيْنًا, (T,) [He took, or received, a loan, or the like; he borrowed: or he took, or received, or bought, upon credit; which is the meaning generally obtaining: and ↓ اِدَّانَ and ↓ أَدَانَ and ↓ استدان and ↓ تديّن signify [in like manner] أَخَذَ دَيْنًا: (K:) or the first, i. e. دان, signifies he sought, or demanded, a loan, or the like; (ISk, S, Mgh, Msb;) as also ↓ ادّان and ↓ استدان: (S, Mgh:) and he became indebted, in debt, or under the obligation of a debt: (S:) and ↓ ادّان and ↓ أَدَانَ and ↓ استدان signify أَخَذَ بِدَيْنٍ

[he took, or received, by incurring a debt; i. e. he took, or received, or bought, upon credit; like

أَخَذَ دَيْنًا]; (M;) or the first and last of these three signify أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ, and اِقْتَرَضَ [which means the same]: but ↓ أَدَانَ signifies he gave, or granted, what is termed دَيْنٌ [meaning a loan, or the like: or he gave, or granted, or sold, a thing upon credit]: (TA:) accord. to Esh-Sheybánee, this last verb signifies he became entitled to a debt from others [or from another]: Lth says that it (أَدَانَ) signifies he was, or became, such as is termed مُسْتَدِينٌ; [i. e. it is syn. with استدان, as it is said to be in the M and K;] but [Az says,] this, which has been mentioned on the authority of some one or more by Sh, is in my opinion a mistake; أَدَانَ means he sold upon credit; or became entitled to a debt from others [or from another]; (T, TA;) or he sold to persons upon a limited credit, or for payment at an appointed period, so that he became entitled to a debt from them: (S:) and accord. to Sh, ↓ ادّان signifies he became much in debt. (T, TA.) El-Ahmar cites the following verse of El-'Ojeyr Es-Saloolee: نَدِينُ وَيَقْضِى اللّٰهُ عَنَّا وَقَدْ نَرَى

مَصَارِعَ قَوْمٌ لَا يَدِينُونَ ضُيَّعِ [We incur debt, and God pays for us; and sometimes, or often, we see the places of overthrow of a people, who incur not debt, in a state of perdition]: in the S [and the T] ضُيَّعَا; but correctly as above; for the whole of the قَصِيدَة is مَخْفُوضَة. (IB, TA.) And it is said in a trad., مُعْرِضًا ↓ اِدَّانَ, (S, K,) or, as some relate it, دَانَ, (K,) He bought upon credit, or borrowed, or sought or demanded a loan, of whomsoever he could, addressing himself to such as came in his way: (S, TA:) or both mean he bought upon credit avoiding payment: or he contracted a debt with every one who presented himself to him: (K, TA: [see also other explanations voce مُعْرِضٌ:]) ↓ ادّان signifies he bought upon credit: (K:) or [thus and also] the contr., i. e. he sold upon credit. (T, K.) b2: It is also trans.; and so is ↓ أَدَانَ. (Msb.) You say, دِنْتُهُ, (M, Mgh, K, [in the CK دِينَةٌ is here put for دِنْتُهُ,]) inf. n. دَيْنٌ; (TA;) and ↓ أَدَنْتُهُ (M, Mgh, K,) inf. n. إِدَانَةٌ; (TA;) I gave him, or granted him, to a certain period, what is termed دَيْنٌ [meaning the loan, or the like; I lent to him: or I gave him, or granted him, credit; or sold to him, upon credit]: (M, K, TA:) so that he owed a debt: (TA:) and i. q. أَقْرَضْتُهُ [I gave him, or granted him, a loan, or the like]; (M, * Mgh, K;) as also ↓ دَيَّنْتُهُ: (Mgh:) or دِنْتُهُ has this last meaning: (A 'Obeyd, S, M:) and ↓ أَدَنْتُهُ signifies I sought, or demanded, of him a loan, or the like; syn. اِسْتَقْرَضْتُ مِنْهُ; as also ↓ اِسْتَدَنْتُهُ: (M:) or دِنْتُهُ has each of the last two meanings: (A 'Obeyd, T, Msb:) and signifies also I received from him a loan, or the like.

One says, كَمَا تَدِينُ تُدَانُ, (T, S, M,) a prov., (M,) meaning Like as thou repayest, or requitest, &c., thou shalt be repaid, or requited, &c.; (S, M;) i. e. according to thy deed thou shalt be repaid, or requited, &c.: (S:) or, as some say, like as thou doest, it shall be done to thee: (M:) or like as thou doest thou shalt be given, and repaid, &c.

[Or the verb may here have the meaning next following.]) A5: Also, دانهُ, He abased him, (T, S, K,) and enslaved him. (T, S.)

[The intelligent is] he who abases, and enslaves, himself [and works for that which shall be after death]: or, as some say, who reckons with himself: (T:) or, accord. to some, who overcomes himself. (TA.) And دانهُ, (K,) first Pers\. دِنْتُهُ, (T,) signifies He made him to do that which he disliked. (Az, T, K.) And دِينَ He was made to do that which he disliked. (T.) b2: And دِنْتُهُ, inf. n. دِينٌ, I ruled, governed, or managed, him, or it. (M, TA.) And I possessed it; owned it; or exercised, or had, authority over it. (Sh, S, K, TA.)

(Mgh.) b3: دَيَّنْتُ الحَالِفَ (T, TA) I confirmed the swearer (قَوَّيْتُهُ [so in the TA, but in the T بَرَّيْتُهُ, app. for بَرَّأْتُهُ, I held him, or pronounced him, to be clear, or quit, if not a mistranscription for قَوَّيْتُهُ,]) in that which he swore.

(TA.) 4 ادان, inf. n. إِدَانَةٌ; as an intrans. v.: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in three places. b2: As a trans. v.: see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph, in four places. b3: [The following significations, namely, “Subegit,” and “ Pensavit,” assigned to this verb by Golius as on the authority of the KL, and “ Voluit sibi esse servum,” and “ Servum cepit,” followed by an accus., assigned to it by him as on the authority of the S, I do not find in either of those works.]5 تديّن: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in three places.6 تَدَايَنُوا They sold and bought, one with another, upon credit; and in like manner تَدَايَنَا is said of two persons: (S:) or they took, or received, or bought, upon credit [app. one of another]: and so اِدَّايَنُوا [which is a variation of the former]. (M.) إِذَا تَدَيَنْتُمْ بِدَيْنٍ, in the Kur ii. 282, means When ye deal, one with another, (Ksh, Bd, Jel, Msb,) upon credit, giving or taking, (Ksh, * Bd,) or by prepayment, (Jel, Msb,) or lending or the like, (Jel,) &c. (Msb.) 8 اِدَّانَ, originally اِدْتَانَ: see 1, in six places.10 استدان, as an intrans. v.: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in three places. b2: استدانهُ He sought, or demanded, of him what is termed دَيْنٌ [meaning a debt]: and also i. q. اِسْتَقْرَضَ مِنْهُ. (M.) See 1, in the latter half of the paragraph.

دَيْنٌ [is an inf. n. of 1: b2: and is also a simple subst., and] properly signifies [A debt; such as] the price of a thing sold [which the purchaser is under an obligation to pay]; and a dowry [which one engages to pay]: and a loan, or the like; syn. قَرْض: (Msb:) or it is [a debt] such as has an appointed time of falling due: what has not such an appointed time is [properly, but not always,] termed قَرْضٌ: (K:) and ↓ دِينَةٌ signifies the same as دَيْنٌ (T, M, K) in the sense above explained: (K:) a valid دَينْ (دَينٌ صَحِيحٌ) is such as does not become annulled save by payment, or by one's being declared clear, or quit: compensation in the case of a contract which a slave makes with his owner to pay him a certain sum as the price of himself and on the payment thereof to be free is not a valid دَيْن, because it may become annulled without payment, and without his being declared clear, or quit; that is, by the slave's being unable to pay it: (KT:) in the language of the law, but not in the proper language, دَيْنٌ is also applied to (assumed tropical:) [a debt incurred by] a thing taken unjustly, injuriously, or by violence; as being likened to a دَيْن properly so called: (Msb:) and it signifies also anything that is not present: [app. meaning anything to be paid, or done, at a future time:] (M, K:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَدْيُنٌ (Lh, M, K) and [of mult.] دُيُونٌ (S, M, K) [and in the CK is added and دِينَةٌ, with kesr; but this is a mistranscription for دِنْتُهُ, as syn. with أَدَنْتُهُ, which follows it, connected therewith by وَ]: the pl. of ↓ دِينَةٌ is دِيَنٌ. (TA.) Yousay, مَا أَكْثرَ دَيْنَهُ and ↓ دِينَتَهُ [How great in amount. is his debt!]; both meaning the same. (Az, T.) And ↓ جِئْتُ لِطَلَبِ الدِّينَةِ i. e. الدَّيْنِ [I came for the demanding of the debt]. (Az, T.) And عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ [On him lies a debt; i. e. he owes a debt]: and لَهُ دَيْنٌ [To him is due a debt; i. e. he has a debt owed to him]. (S, TA.) And اِشْتَرَى

بِالدَّيْنِ [He bought upon credit]: (K:) and أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ (IKt, M, Msb, K) or [rather] أَخَذَ دَيْنًا [signifies the same; or he took, or received, upon credit: or he took, or received, a loan, or the like; he borrowed]: (T, K:) and أَخَذَ بِدَيْنٍ

[likewise signifies the same; or he took, or received, by incurring a debt]. (M.) And بَاعَ بِالدَّيْنِ [He sold upon credit]: (K:) and بِعْثُهُ بِدَيْنٍ (TA) or ↓ بِدِينَةٍ (S) [I sold to him upon credit]: and أَعْطَيْتُهُ الدَّيْنَ [signifies the same; or I gave him, or granted him, credit: or I gave him, or granted him, the loan, or the like]. (M, K, TA.) b3: [Hence,] (tropical:) Death; (K, TA;) because it is a دَيْن [or debt] which every one must pay when [the angel who is] the demander of its payment comes. (TA.) And hence the prov., رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِدَيْنِهِ (tropical:) [May God smite him with his death]. (TA.) b4: Thaalebeh Ibn-'Obeyd says, describing palm-trees, تَضَمَّنُ الحَاجَاتِ العِيَالِ وَ ضَيْفِهِمْ وَمَهْمَا تَضَمَّنْ مِنْ دُيُونِهِمْ تَقْضِ

[They comprise the wants of the household and of their guest; and whatever they comprise of their debts, they pay]; by the دُيُون meaning what is obtained of their fruit that is gathered. (M, TA.) دِينٌ [is an inf. n. of 1: and is also used as a simple subst., signifying] Obedience; (T, S, M, K;) as also ↓ دِينَةٌ: (K: [in the M it is said, without any restriction, that دِينَةٌ is like دِينٌ:]) this is its primary meaning: and its pl. is أَدْيَانٌ: or, as some say, its primary meaning is that next following: (TA:) a state of abasement, (M, K, TA,) and submissiveness. (TA.) الدِّينُ لِلّٰهِ meansObedience to, and the service of, God. (T, K. *) And the saying, in the Kur [iv. 124], وَ مَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينًا مِمَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلّٰهِ means [And who is better] in obedience [than he who resigns himself to God?] (Er-Rághib, TA.) In like manner, also, in the same [ii. 257], لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ means [There shall be no compulsion] in obedience. (Er-Rághib, TA.) b2: A religion: (K, and in one of my copies of the S:) pl. as above: (S:) so termed as implying obedience, and submission to the law: [for ex.,] it is said in the Kur [iii. 17], إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الْإِسْلَامُ [Verily the only true religion in the sight of God is El-Islám]. (TA.) الدِّينُ is a name for That whereby one serves God. (S, * K.) [It is applied to Religion, in the widest sense of this term, practical and doctrinal: thus comprehending الإِيمَانُ, which means “ religious belief. ”] And it [particularly] signifies [The religion of] El-Islám. (M, K.) And The religious law of God; consisting of such ordinances as those of fasting and prayer and pilgrimage and the giving of the poor-rate, and the other acts of piety, or of obedience to God, or of duty to Him and to men; syn. الشَّرِيعَةُ. (TA.) And The belief in the unity of God. (K.) and Piety, or pious fear, and abstinence from unlawful things; syn. الوَرَعُ. (S, K.) b3: Also A particular law; a statute; or an ordinance; syn. حُكْمٌ (K, and Jel in xii. 76) and قَضَآءٌ [which signifies the same as حُكْمٌ]. (Katádeh, T, K.) It is said in the Kur [xii. 76], مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِى

دِينِ الْمَلِكِ, meaning He (Joseph) was not to take his brother as a slave for the theft according to the law of the king of Egypt; i. e., فِى حُكْمِ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ, (Jel,) or فىقَضَائِهِ; (Katádeh, T;) for his punishment according to him was beating, and a fine of twice the value of the thing stolen; not enslavement: (Jel:) or, accord. to ElUmawee, the meaning is, in the dominion of the King. (T.) b4: [A system of usages, or rites and ceremonies &c., inherited from a series of ancestors.] It is said in a trad., of the Prophet, كَانَ عَلَى دِينِ قَوْمِهِ, meaning He used to conform with the old usages obtaining among his people, inherited from Abraham and Ishmael, in respect of their pilgrimage and their marriagecustoms (IAth, K, TA) and their inheritances (IAth, TA) and their modes of buying and selling and their ways of acting, (IAth, K, TA,) and other ordinances of the faith [&c.]; (IAth, TA;) but as to the belief in the unity of God, they had altered it; and the Prophet held no other belief than it: (IAth, K, TA:) or, as some say, the meaning here is, their dispositions, in respect of generosity and courage; from دِينٌ in the sense next following. (TA.) b5: Custom, or habit; (Az, T, S, M, K;) as also ↓ دِينَةٌ: (M, * TA:) and business: (S, TA:) pl., as above, أَدْيَانٌ. (M, TA.) This, also, has been said to be the primary signification. (TA.) One says, مَا زَالَ ذٰلِكَ دِينِى That has not ceased to be my custom, or habit. (T, TA.) b6: A way, course, mode, or manner, of acting, or conduct, or the like. (K.) b7: I. q. تَدْبِيرٌ [app. as meaning Management, conduct, or regulation, of affairs]. (K.) b8: State, condition, or case. (S, M, K.) ISh says, I asked an Arab of the desert respecting a thing, and he said to me, لَوْ لَقِيتَنِى عَلَى دِنٍ غَيْرِ هٰذِهِ لَأَخْبَرْتُكَ [Hadst thou found me in a state other than this, I had informed thee]. (S, M.) b9: A property, such as is an unknown cause of a known effect; syn. خَاصِّيَّةٌ. (KL. [The significations of “ Via ” and “ Signum ” and “ Opera,” mentioned by Golius as from the KL, I do not find in my copy of that work.]) A2: Disobedience. (S, K.) [Thus it bears a signification the contr. of that first mentioned in this paragraph.]

A3: Repayment, requital, compensation, or recompense: (S, M, K:) or, as some say, such as is proportioned to the deed of him who is its object. (TA.) Hence, مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ, i. e.

(T, TA.) b2: Retaliation, by slaying for slaying, or wounding for wounding, or mutilating for mutilating. (TA.) b3: A reckoning. (T, S, M, K.)

(T, TA.) A7: See also دَائِنٌ.

جُذًى (S, Msb, K) and (of the third, TA) جَذًى (Msb, TA, and so in a copy of the S) and جِذَآءٌ, (AAF, K,) which is held by ISd to be a pl. of the third. (TA.) جُذَآءٌ: see جُدَآءٌ, in art. جدى.

جَاذٍ [part. n. of 1; fem. جَاذِيَةٌ: pl. masc.

جِذَآءٌ; pl. fem. جَاذِيَاتٌ and جَوَاذٍ]. A rájiz says, (S,) namely, 'Amr Ibn-Jebel-El-Asadee, (TA,) لَمْ يُبْقِ مِنْهَا سَبَلُ الرَّذَاذِ غَيْرَ أَثَافِى مِرْجَلٍ جَوَاذِى

[masc.] جَذَآءٌ. (S) Aboo-Duwád describes mares as جَاذِيَاتٌ عَلَى السَّنَابِكِ, i. e. Standing upon the toes. (AA, S, * TA.) b3: جَوَاذٍ, (K,) applied to she-camels, (TA,) means That bear themselves erect (↓ تَجْذُو) in their course, or pace, as though they lifted their feet clear from the ground; (K, TA;) on the authority of Aboo-Leylà: (TA:) [the last words of the explanation in the K are كَأَنَّهَا تَقْلَعُ: in the TA, كانها تقلع السَّيْرَ: I suppose that السَّيْرَ is for فِى السَّيْرِ; and that the pret. of the aor. here used is قَلِعَ; for قَلِعٌ, which is of the regular form of a part. n. of such a verb as قَلِعَ, means “ raising the feet clear from the ground in walking &c.: ”

but in one copy of the K, I find تُقَلّعُ: and another reading in some work seems to be تُقْلِعُ; for] ISd says, I know not جَذَا with the meaning of أَسْرَعَ nor of أَقْلَعَ: and As says that جَوَاذٍ means quick, or swift, camels, that do not stretch themselves forth in their course, or pace, but bear themselves erect (وَيَنْتَصِبْنَ ↓ يَجْذُونَ).
