Pers\. چكانيد, Fecit ut stillaret, stillatim emisit: ” but it appears from my copy of the KL that this should be زهّق; for I there find تَزْهِيقٌ (not تَزْرِيقٌ) expl. by the Pers\. چكانيدن: then, however, immediately follows, in that copy, another explanation: b2: and The shifting backwards of a camel's saddle from his back: therefore it seems that either تَزْرِيقٌ is there omitted before this second explanation, (see 1, last sentence but one, and see 7,) or تَزْهِيقٌ is there a mistake for تَزْرِيقٌ.]4 أَزْرَقَ see 1, in two places.7 انزرق It (an arrow) passed through, and went forth on the other side: (Lth, K:) and in like manner a spear.

(TA in the present art.) 8 إِظْتَفَرَ see 2, in three places: A2: and see also 1, in two places.

ظَفْرٌ: see the next paragraph.

ظُفْرٌ (T, S, M, A, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ ظُفُرٌ, (Msb, K,) which latter is the most chaste form, and the form adopted by the seven readers in the Kur vi. 147, and the former is a contraction of this, [but is the most common form,] (Msb,) and ↓ ظِفْرٌ, which is extr., (M, Msb, K,) and disallowed by IDrd, (O,) and ↓ ظِفِرٌ, which is also extr., (Msb,) and ↓ أُظْفُورٌ, (T, M, A, Msb, K,) which is erroneously mentioned in the S as a pl. of ظُفْرٌ, (Sgh, Msb, K,) by an anticipation of the pen; (Msb;) or, accord. to MF, it si said in most of the copies of the S, (but this is not the case,) ظُفْرٌ has for its pl. أَظْفَارٌ; and أُظْفُورٌ [has for its pl.] أَظَافِيرُ; (TA;) [and this, being the reading in most of the copies of the S seen by MF, is probably what J wrote;] A certain wellknown thing; (M;) [i. e. a nail; and a talon, or claw;] pertaining to a human being, (M, Ibn-Es-Seed, Msb, K,) and to others; (M, K;) to the beasts and birds mentioned in the next following sentence, [as well as to man,] accord. to the authorities there cited; (TA;) and to every ruminant, as syn. with ظِلْفٌ [i. e. a cloven hoof]: (T and M in art. ظلف:) or to a beast, or bird, that does not prey; [as well as to man;] that of such as preys being termed مِخْلَبٌ: (M:) [and in the present day applied also to the spur of a cock:] it is of the masc. gender: (Lh, M, Msb:) the pl. (of ظُفْرٌ, S, M, Msb, &c.) is أَظْفَارٌ (S, M, Msb, K, &c.) and sometimes أَظْفُرٌ, (Msb,) [both of which are pls. of pauc., but the former is used as a pl. of mult. also,]. and (of أُظْفُورٌ, M, Msb, or of أَظْفَارٌ, and therefore a pl. pl., M) أَظَافِيرُ: (M, Msb, K:) that ↓ أُظْفُورٌ is a sing. [and not like أُبْقُورٌ which is a quasi-pl. n.] is shown by the saying of a poet, مَا بَيْنَ لُقْمَتِهَا الأُولَى إِذَا انْحَدَرَتْ وَبَيْنَ أُخْرَى تَلِيهَا قِيسُ أُظْفُورِ (K) or قِيدُ أُظْفُورِ (Msb) [i. e. What is between her first morsel, when it descends into her throat, and another that follows it, is the measure of a finger-nail]: or, as some relate it, إِذَا ازْدَرَدَتْ [when she swallows]; and it is thus cited [in the T and] in the “ Basáïr ” of the author of the K. (TA.) The phrase كُلَّ ذِى ظُفُرٍ in the Kur vi. 147 comprises camels and ostriches; (so in the T and TS and L; but in the K, الأَنْعَام is erroneously put for النَّعَام; TA;) because their مَنَاسِم are like أَظْفَار to them: (T, K, TA:) I'Ab says that it comprises camels; and also ostriches, because they have nails like camels: or any bird that has a مِخْلَب, and any beast that has a solid hoof: or, accord. to Mujáhid and Katádeh, every beast and bird that has not divided toes; as the camel and ostrich and goose and duck. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] الأَظْفَارُ is the name of (assumed tropical:) Certain small stars; (S;) certain stars before النَّسْر [meaning النَّسْر الوَاقِع i. e. the star a of Lyra: app. because regarded as the talons of the نسر]: (K:) or a certain dim star in الشَّلْيَاق [q. v., i. e. the constellation Lyra]. (Kzw.) b3: [Hence also,] إِنَّهُ لَكَلِيلُ الظُّفْرِ, (T,) or إِنَّهُ لَمَقْلُومُ الظُّفْرِ, (TA,) (tropical:) Verily he is one who does not slay or wound an enemy: (T, TA:) and إِنَّهُ مَقْلُومُ الظُّفْرِ عَنْ أَذَى

النَّاسِ (tropical:) Verily he is one who does little hurt to mankind. (T, A, TA.) And هُوَ كَلِيلُ الظُّفْرِ (tropical:) He is weak, or abject, or despicable; (T, S, K, TA;) said of a man; (K, TA;) or so مُقَلَّمُ الظُّفْرِ: (K: [in the TA, as from the K, مُقَلَّمُ الأَظْفَارِ:]) or (tropical:) he is sick, or diseased. (A.) And بِهِ ظُفْرٌ مِنْ مَرَضٍ (tropical:) [app. meaning In him is an evil result of a disease, that has clung to him]. (A, TA. [In the A, this immediately follows what here next precedes it; and is immediately followed by the words وَذُبَابٌ ظَفِرَ مِنْهُ, which seem to be added by way of explanation; thus in my copy; but I think that ظَفِرَ مِنْهُ here is a mistake for ظَفَّرَ فِيهِ, and have assumed this to be the case in rendering the phrase.]) b4: And قَرَّحْتُهُ مِنْ ظُفْرِهِ إِلَى شُفْرِهِ (tropical:) [lit. I wounded him much, from his nail to the edge of his eyelid; but mentioned as tropical; app. meaning from toe to head]; like as one says, مِنْ قَرْنِهِ. (A.) b5: And مَا بَالدَّارِ ظُفْرٌ, (K,) or ما بالدار ظُفْرٌ وَلَا شُفْرٌ, (A, O,) (tropical:) There is not in the house any one. (A, O, K.) And مَا تَرَكَتِ السَّنَةُ ظُفْرًا وَلَا شُفْرًا (tropical:) The year of drought left not anything: and sometimes they said شَفْرًا, with fet-h, and in this case they said ↓ ظَفْرًا, for assimilation. (A in art. شفر.) And رَأَيْتُهُ بِظُفْرِهِ (tropical:) I saw him himself. (O, K, TA.) b6: ظُفْرُ النَّسْرِ is the name of (assumed tropical:) A certain plant, (K, TA,) resembling what is [properly] thus termed [i. e. the talon of the vulture]. (TA.) And ظُفْرُ القِطِّ is the name of (assumed tropical:) Another plant. (K, TA.) b7: And الظُّفْرُ, (M,) or الأَظْفَارُ, (T, M, A, Mgh, O, K, &c.,) for this word in the sense here following has no sing. (T, M, O, K) accord. to the author of the 'Eyn, (M,) but sometimes one said وَاحِدَةٌ ↓ أَظْفَارَةٌ, which is not allowable by rule, and made the pl. of this to be أَظَافِيرُ, (T, O, K, * [mentioned in the M as a pl. of الظُّفْرُ,]) though, if they formed a sing. from it, it should be ظُفْرٌ, (T, O, K,) signifies (tropical:) A certain odoriferous substance, (T, Mgh, O, K,) or a sort thereof, (M,) [i. e. unguis odoratus, (called in the present day ظُفْرُ الطِّيبِ and ظُفْرُ العِفْرِيتِ,) or ungues odorati,] black, (T, M, O,) resembling a ظُفْر [or nail] (T, M, Mgh, O, K) of a man (M) pulled out (in the M and O and K مُقْتُلَف, and in the T مُقَلَّف,) from the root thereof, (T, M, O, K, [but in the M, the words which I have rendered “ pulled out ” &c. immediately follow the words ضَرْبٌ مِنَ العِطْرِ

أَسْوَدُ,]) or resembling the أَظْفَار [or finger-nails], (A,) and put into دُخْتَة [or incense]: (T, M, O:) and, accord. to the K, ↓ ظَفَارٌ, sometimes imperfectly decl., i. e. ↓ ظَفَارُ, signifies the same; but this is very strange, for [SM says] I have referred to the M and T and O and other lexicons without finding them to have mentioned in this sense any term but الأَظْفَارُ or الظُّفْرُ: accord. to the “ Minháj,” أَظْفَارُ الطِّيبِ are pieces of an odoriferous substance resembling the أَظْفَار [properly so called]; they are said by [the Arabic translator of] Dioscorides to be of the nature of the shards of shells, [so I render مِنْ جِنْسِ أَخْزَافِ الصَّدَفِ, supposing اخزاف to be here used tropically,] found in an island of the Sea of India where is the سُنْبُل [or spikenard], a sort whereof is [called] قُلْزُمِىّ [i. e. of El-Kulzum], and another which is [called]

بَابِلِىّ [i. e. of Bábil], black and small, and the best is that which inclines to whiteness, which drifts to El-Yemen and El-Bahreyn. (TA.) [Forskål, in his “ Descr. Animalium ” &c., mentions what here follows, among the animal substances of the materia medica of Cairo, in page 143: “ Unguis odoratus. (Opercula Cochl.) Dofr el afrît, ضفر العفريت i. e. unguis dæmonis. E Mochha per Sués. Arabes etiam afferunt. Nigritis fumigatorium est. ” (ضفر is here written, agreeably with the usual vulgar pronunciation, for ظُفْر.) See also قُسْطٌ,] b8: أَظْفَارٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Large قِرْدَان [or ticks]. (S, O, K.) b9: and (assumed tropical:) The creased parts of a skin. (M, TA.) b10: and the ظُفْر of a bow is (tropical:) The part in the curved end that is beyond the place where the string is tied, to the extremity: (As, T, S, M, * O, K: *) or the end of the bow: (K:) or each end of the bow, beyond the place where the string is tied: (A:) pl. ظِفَرَةٌ. (M, TA.) b11: See also ظَفَرَةٌ.

(So in the O.) ظَفَارٌ and ظَفَارُ: see ظُفْرٌ.

A2: [ظَفَارِ is well known as the name of a city in El-Yemen; or, accord. to the O, of two cities and two fortresses in El-Yemen. And accord. to the TA, it signifies Any land that is ذات مَعَزَّة: but the latter of these two words has been altered by an erasure over the second letter, and is perhaps incorrect: if not, it may mean, agreeably with the analogy of many words of the measure مَفْعَلَةٌ, as مَقْدَرَةٌ and مَفْلَحَةٌ and مَنْجَاةٌ &c., such as possesses means of overcoming, or withstanding, invaders: and it may be that hence ظَفَارِ is in two instances the name of a fortress.]

(O.) فَرُّوجٌ The young of the domestic hen; [the chicken, and chickens;] (S, Mgh, O, K; [but the explanation is omitted in one of my copies of the S;]) as also فُرُّوجٌ, (S, O, K,) like سُبُّوحٌ [q. v.], (K,) a dial. var., (S, O, TA,) mentioned by Lh: (TA:) n. un. with ة: (S:) pl. فَرَارِيجُ. (S, Mgh, O.) b2: And hence, app., by a metaphorical application, (Mgh,) it signifies also A [garment of the kind called] قَبَآءِ, (S, Mgh, O, K, [but omitted in one of my copies of the S,]) having a slit in its hinder part: (Mgh, O, K:) or the shirt of a child: (O, K:) [but] the Prophet is related to have prayed in a فرّوج (Mgh, TA) of خَزّ (Mgh) or of silk; (TA;) or he pulled off one that he had put on. (O.) فَارِجٌ: see فُرُجٌ. b2: Also A she-came that has become unknit, or loosened, [app. in the joints of the hips,] (↓ اِنْفَرَجَتْ [see 4],) in consequence of parturition, and therefore hates the stallion, (O, K,) and dislikes his being near. (O.) [See also فَرِيجٌ.] And see 4, last sentence.

أَفْرَجُ, in the phrase أَفْرَجُ الثَّنَايَا, i. q. أَفْلَجُ [q. v.]. b2: And A man whose buttocks do not meet, (S, O, K,) or scarcely meet, (TA,) by reason of their bigness: (S, O, K:) fem. فَرْجَآءُ: it is mostly the case among the Abyssinians. (S, O.) b3: See also فَرِجٌ.

تِفْرِجٌ, accord. to Akh, A beater and washer and whitener of clothes; syn. قَصَّارٌ. (O.) b2: See also the next paragraph.

تِفْرِجَةٌ and ↓ تِفْرَاجٌ are sings. of تَفَارِيجٌ, (O,) which signifies, (IAar, O, K,) as pl. of the first, (K,) or of the second, (IAar, O,) The openings [or interstices] of the fingers: (IAar, O, K:) and the apertures, (IAar, O,) or clefts, (K,) of a railing: (IAar, O, K:) and also, (O, K,) accord. to IDrd, as pl. of تِفْرِجَةٌ, (O,) the slits of the [kind of garment called] قَبَآء [and فَرُّوجْ]. (O, K.) A2: تِفْرِجَةٌ as an epithet, applied to a man, signifies Cowardly and weak; as also ↓ تِفْرَاجَةٌ; (O, K;) and نِفْرَاجَآءُ, with ن, (O, * K,) mentioned by IAmb, as imperfectly decl., and as signifying cowardly; (O;) or so, accord. to the T and L, ↓ تِفْرِجٌ and تِفْرِجَةٌ, and نِفْرِجٌ and نِفْرِجَةٌ: and the last two, and نِفْرَاجٌ and نِفْرِجَآءٌ, all with ن, signify one who becomes defeated, or put to flight, (يَنْكَشِفُ,) on the occasion of war, or battle. (TA.) تِفْرَاجٌ and تِفْرَاجَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مَفْرَجٌ: see فُرْجَةٌ. [Hence] مَفْرَجُ الغَمِ [The place of opening of the mouth]. (TA in art. شجر.) مَفَارِجُ [is its pl.; and] signifies Places of exit, or egress. (TA.) مُفْرَجٌ, occurring in the saying, in a trad., لَا يُتْرَكُ فِى الإسْلَامِ مُفْرَجٌ, [meaning that he who is thus termed shall not be left unbefriended among the Muslims,] is variously explained: As used to say that it is with ح; and disapproved of the saying مفرج, with ج: A'Obeyd says, I heard Mohammad Ibn-El-Hasan say, it is related with ح and with ج; and he who says مفرج, with ج, means A slain person found in a desert tract, not by a town or village, [which signification is mentioned in the K,] the fine for whose blood is to be paid from the government-treasury: AO says that it means one who becomes a Muslim and has no alliance of friendship with any one [among the Muslims]; wherefore, if he commits a crime, [such as maiming another, &c.,] the governmenttreasury must make amends for it, because he has no relations or others bound to aid him by paying a bloodwit [or the like]: (S, O: and the like is also said in the Mgh and in the K:) or, accord. to Jábir El-Joafee, it means a man who is among a people to whom he does not belong; wherefore they are bound to pay for him a bloodwit [or the like]: (O, TA:) or it means one who has no kinsfolk, or near relations: so accord. to IAar: (Mgh, TA:) or one who has no offspring: or one who has no wealth, or property: and it is also said to mean one burdened by the obligation to pay a bloodwit, or a ransom, or a debt that must be discharged: and [in like manner] ↓ مَفْرُوجٌ is said to mean one who is burdened with a debt: but it is correctly with ح [unpointed]; (TA;) [i. e.] such is termed مُفْرَحْ, with ح: (As, Mgh:) and مُفْرَجٌ means one burdened by his family, although he be not in debt. (Az, TA voce مُفْرَحٌ [q. v.].) مُفْرِجٌ One whose shooting, or casting, has become altered [for the worse], having been good. (AA, O, * K.) A2: And thus, without ة, A hen having chickens. (S, O, K.) مُفَرَّجٌ A camel (O) whose elbow is distant from his armpit: (O, K:) or wide in step: (O:) or, with ة, a she-camel whose elbows are far from her chest, and whose armpits are [therefore] wide. (Ham p. 783.) b2: And A comb. (O, K.) مَفْرُوجٌ An opened door. (TA.) b2: See also مُفْرَجٌ, near the end.

فضل

1 فَضَلَ, aor. ـُ and فَضِلَ, aor. ـِ and فَضِلَ, aor. ـُ three syn. dial. vars.; (S, O, Msb, K;) the second mentioned by ISk; and the third [said to be] anomalous and unparalleled; (S, O;) [but] it is a compound of two thereof, (S, O, Msb, K,) accord. to the companions of Sb, (S, O,) i. e. a compound of the second and the third, (K,) like نَعِمَ having for its aor. ـْ (Sb, S, O, Msb,) and نَكِلَ, aor. ـْ [but this I do not find in its proper art.,] and حَضِرَ, aor. ـْ [but this is disallowed by some,] and فَرِغَ, aor. ـْ among perfect verbs, (Msb,) and مِتَّ, aor. ـُ and دِمْتَ, aor. ـُ (Sb, S, O, Msb,) and كِدْتَ, aor. ـُ (Sb, S;) inf. n. فَضْلٌ: (S, * O, * Msb, K: *) all signify It exceeded; or was, or became, redundant, or superfluous; [syn. زَادَ;] being used in relation to الفَضْلُ (K, MF, TA) meaning الزِّيَادَةُ, as Ibn-Es-Seed says, (MF, TA,) [i. e.] as meaning the contr. of النَّقْصُ: (K, TA:) or the first of the three, i. e. فضَلَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فَضْلٌ, signifies thus, i. q. زَادَ, (Msb,) and فُضْلٌ and فُضُلٌ are also inf. ns. [of the same, i. e.] signifying زِيَادَةٌ, as in the saying, in a trad., accord. to different relaters, إِنَّ لِلّٰهِ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّارَةً فُضْلًا عَلَى المَلَائِكَةِ المُرَتَّبِينَ مَعَ الخَلَائِقِ and فُضُلًا [i. e. Verily to God belong angels who occupy themselves in ranging about, in addition to the angels who are stationed among the created, or human and other, beings]: (TA:) and all the three dial. vars. mentioned above signify it remained [of a greater quantity or number]; syn. بَقِىَ; (S, * O, * Msb;) you say, فَضَلَ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ, aor. ـُ and فَضِلَ, aor. ـَ and فَضِلَ, aor. ـُ somewhat remained thereof: (S, O:) or from الفَضْلُ as meaning البَقِيَّةُ, you say فَضَلَ like نَصَرَ, [i. e. aor. ـُ and فَضِلَ like حَسِبَ, [implying that the aor. is فَضَلَ and فَضِلَ,] (K,) [accord. to the TK meaning it had somewhat remaining, but accord. to SM,] using these verbs [which are said by him to be like نَصَرَ and سَمِعَ and حَسِبَ, the last as mentioned by Lh,] in the phrase فَضَلَ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ [expl. above]. (TA.) b2: [فَضَلَ is trans. as well as intrans.] One says, فَضَلَهُ and فَضَلَ عَلَيْهِ, [aor. ـُ inf. ns. فَضْلٌ and فُضُولٌ, [but see a distinction made between these two words voce فَضْلٌ, below,] meaning He, or it, exceeded, or excelled, him, or it. (MA.) See also 4. [And see فَضْلٌ below, last signification.] الفَضْلُ as meaning The overcoming, or surpassing, in highness, elevation, or eminence, of rank, condition, or estimation, has but one form of verb, فَضَلَ, aor. ـُ like قَعَدَ, aor. ـْ he who relates the saying of the poet, وَجَدْنَا نَهْشَلًا فَضَلَتْ فُقَيْمَا [We found, or have found, that Nahshal (the tribe so called) overcame &c., or have overcome &c., Fukeym (another tribe)], pronouncing the ض [in فضلت] with kesr, errs; not distinguishing between the two meanings: so says Ibn-Es-Seed, in the book entitled “ Kitáb el-Fark: ” and Es-Seymuree says, in his book entitled “ Kitáb etTebsireh,” فَضَلَ, aor. ـُ like نَصَرَ, aor. ـْ is from الفَضْلُ meaning the ruling [others] as a chief, lord, or master. (TA.) And فَضَلَهُ signifies also [simply] He overcame him; surpassed him; or gained ascendency, or the mastery, over him. (TA.) See also 3.2 فضّلهُ (K, TA) عَلَى غَيْرِهِ, (TA,) inf. n. تَفْضِيلٌ, i. q. مَزَّاهُ, (K, TA,) i. e. He attributed to him an excellence distinguishing him from [or above] another, or others: (TA:) or فَضَّلْتُهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ, inf. n. as above, I judged him (S, O, Msb, * TA) to be more excellent than another, or others: (S, * O, * Msb, TA: *) or I made him (S, O, Msb, * TA) to be so. (S, * O, * Msb, TA.) وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا, in the Kur [xvii. 72, i. e. and we have made them to excel many of those that we have created], has been expl. as meaning that the excellence of the son of Adam consists in his walking erect, whereas the beasts, the camels and the asses and the like, walk pronely; and the son of Adam takes food with his hands, whereas the other animals take it with the mouth. (TA.) And وَاللّٰهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ, in the Kur [xvi. 73, i. e. And God hath made some of you to excel some others], means, in ability, and wealth, and rank or station, and power; which are excellences that may be acquired. (Er-Rághib, TA.) And you say, فضّلهُ بِهِ, meaning خَصَّهُ [i. e. He distinguished him particularly, peculiarly, or specially, by it, namely, a thing]. (A and K in art. خص.) And فضّل فِى العَطَآءِ He gave to some more than to others. (S in art. افق.) b2: [An explanation of فضّل given by Golius, as on the authority of the K, (“ i. q. وسخ, Sordibus infecit, vel pro sordida habuit, quotidianam vestem,”) is a strange mistake; app. caused by his finding in a copy of the K التَّفْضِيلُ التَّوْسِيخُ instead of التَّفَضُّلُ التَّوَشُّحُ: see 5. b3: اِسْمُ التَّفْضِيلِ The noun of the attribution of excess or excellence is a term applied to the comparative and superlative noun or epithet; also called أَفْعَلُ التَّفْضِيلِ, because it is regularly of the measure أَفْعَلُ: see exs. voce خَيْرٌ.]3 الفِضَالُ [and المُفَاضَلَةُ inf. ns. of فَاضَلَ] and ↓ التَّفَاضُلُ [inf. n. of 6 (of which see an ex. in art. سوى, conj. 6,)] signify التَّمَازِى فِى الفَضْلِ [i. e. The contending for superiority in excellence]; (K, * TA;) التَّمَازِى being of the measure تَفَاعُل from المَزِيَّةُ. (TA.) And you say, ↓ فَاضَلْتُهُ فَفَضَلْتُهُ, (S, O, K, * in the last فَاضَلَنِى,) aor. of the latter فَضُلَ, (TA,) inf. n. فَضْلٌ, (O, TA,) I contended with him for superiority, or vied with him, in excel-lence, (O, TA,) and I surpassed him, or outvied him, therein. (S, O, K, TA.) b2: And فاضل بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ [app. He made the relation between the two things to be unequal in respect of excellence; i. e. he made the two things to be unequal, or unlike each other, in excellence; contr. of سَاوَى بَيْنَهُمَا: see also 6]. (TA.) 4 افضل فِى تِجَارَتِهِ He gained; or made gain, or profit; in his traffic; syn. رَبِحَ. (Az and Msb in art. ربح.) b2: عَنْهُ [and عَنْهُ ↓ فَضَلَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فَضْلٌ, (see فَضْلٌ below, last signification, and see also فَاضِلٌ,)] It exceeded it. (K, TA. [See also 1, latter half.]) Ows says, describing a bow, كَقَوْسٍ طِلَاعِ الكَفِّ لَا دُونَ مِلْئِهَا وَلَا عَجْسُهَا عَنْ مَوْضِعِ الكَفِّ أَفْضَلَا [Like a bow of which the part that is grasped is sufficient in size for the filling of the hand, not less than suffices to fill it, nor does the part that is grasped thereof extend beyond the place of the hand: the pret. being here used for the aor. to suit the metre]. (TA. [But my original has كَقَوْمٍ, an evident mistranscription.]) b3: افضل عَلَيْهِ: see 5, in two places.

A2: أَفْضَلْتُ مِنْهُ الشَّىْءَ and ↓ اِسْتَفْضَلْتُ signify the same, (S, O, K, TA,) i. e. I left of it the thing remaining, or redundant. (O, TA.) 5 تفضّل عَلَيْهِ [in the CK (erroneously) فَضَّلَ] i. q. تَمَزَّى, (K, TA,) both of which signify He thought himself to be superior to him in excellence; (TA in art. مزو;) whence the saying in the Kur [xxiii. 24], يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ, meaning He desireth that he may have superiority over you in rank and station: (TA in the present art.) or i. q. عليه ↓ افضل, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) inf. n. إِفْضَالٌ, (Msb, TA,) i. e. he bestowed, or conferred, a benefit, or benefits, upon him, syn. أَحْسَنَ, (S, TA,) or تَطَوَّلَ, (K, TA,) and gave him of his bounty: (TA:) [and each, followed by بِشَىْءٍ, he presented him, or favoured him, with a thing:] or تفضّل signifies, (K,) or signifies also, (S,) he laid claim to superiority of excellence over his equals, or fellows; (S, K;) whence [accord. to some] the saying in the Kur quoted above: (S:) and [you say] عَلَيْهِ فِى الحَسَبِ ↓ افضل, (K, TA,) meaning he became possessed of eminence. [or superiority, over him, in the grounds of pretension to respect or honour,] as in a verse of Dhu-l-Isba' cited voce عَنْ, [q. v., p. 2164,] ending with فَتَخْزُوْنِى for فَتَخْزُوَنِى, [which latter reading I have there given,] because the rhyme of the whole ode requires the former. (TA.) A2: التَّفَضُّلُ also signifies التَّوَشُّحُ [generally meaning The throwing a portion of one's garment over his left shoulder, and drawing its extremity under his right arm, and tying the two extremities together in a knot upon his bosom]: and the putting, or disposing, the extremities of his two garments, or pieces of cloth, contrariwise, or in contrary directions, upon his عَاتِق [or part between the shoulder and the neck]. (K, TA: but in the former, عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ is erroneously put for على عَاتِقِهِ. TA.) b2: and تَفَضَّلَتْ said of a woman in her tent or chamber or house, She was in a single garment; (S, O, TA;) [she wore a single garment;] such as is termed مِفْضَلٌ [q. v.]: (S, TA:) or she (a woman) wore the garments of her service. (TA.) 6 تَفَاْضَلَ see 3. b2: التَّفَاضُلُ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ means The differing in superiority, or excellence, of some over others, among the people, or party. (TA.) and one says, الأَشْيَآءُ تَتَفَاضَلُ [meaning The things are unequal, or unlike, one to another, in respect of excellence; contr. of تَتَسَاوَى: see also 3]. (TA.) 10 استفضل أَلْفًا He took a thousand [dirhems] in excess of his right, or due. (TA.) b2: See also 4.

فَضْلٌ [an inf. n.: (see 1, throughout:) and also a simple subst., signifying] An exceeding, a redundant, or a superfluous, quantum [of anything, good or evil]; an excess, a redundance, or a superfluity; syn. زِيَادَةٌ; (Mgh, Msb;) contr. of نَقْصٌ: (S, O, K:) [and often meaning superabundance, or exuberance; and surpassingness, superiority, or excellence. عَلَى غَيْرِهِ over another, or others, than him, or it: and preponderance:] the pl. is فُضُولٌ (Mgh, Msb, K:) and this is sometimes used as a sing.; (Er-Rághib, Msb;) and [thus used] relates to a thing [or quality] in which is no good; (Er-Rághib, Mgh, Msb;) by a predominant application; whence the saying فُضُولٌ بِلَا فَضْلٍ [excess without excellence]; (Mgh;) and hence the rel. n. ↓ فُضُولِىٌّ is formed from it: (Er-Rághib, Msb, TA;) [see this last word, one of the explanations of which shows that a particular meaning of فُضُولٌ is the quality of busying oneself with that which does not concern him:] accord. to Er-Rághib, فَضْلٌ signifies an excess [in respect of a property or quality, or of an acquisition,] above moderateness; and this is of two sorts; such as is commended, as the فضل of knowledge, or science ; and such as is discommended, as the فصل of anger at that whereat it is not necessary: but فَضَلٌ is more used in relation to that which is commended; and [the pl.] فُضُولٌ, in relation to that which is discommended. when the former is used of an excess [in respect of some attribute, of our of two things above the other, it is of three sorts; فضل of kind, as of the animal kind above the vegetable kind; and of species, as of man above other animals; and of the individual, as of one man above another; the first and second of which three are essential attributes, such that he who is deficient in [either of] them cannot do away with his deficiency and acquire فضل, as, for instance, the horse, and the ass, which cannot acquire the excellence (فَضِيلَة) of the human being; but the third may be accidental, such that the way may be found to acquire it, and of this sort are ability, wealth, rank or station, and power: and it signifies also any gift whereof the giving to the recipient thereof is not obligatory: [i. e. a free gift, or gratuity; and an act of bounty or grace; a favour; a benefit; and bounty as an abstract term;] as in the saying [in the Kur iv. 36], وَاسْأَلُوا اللّٰهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ [And ask ye God of his free gift, or of his bounty, or (as expl. in the Ksh and by Bd) of his exhaustless treasures]; and in the saying in the Kur [v. 59 and lvii. 21 and lxii. 4], ذٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَآءُ [That is the free gift of God; He giveth it to whom He willeth]; which comprises the three sorts of excellences (فَضَائِل) [mentioned above]: thus says Er-Rághib: El-Muná- wee says, [explaining one of its meanings,] in the “ Towkeef,” that it is the commencing, or originating, of an act of beneficence without an efficient cause [i. e., app., not by reason of any obligation]. (TA.) b2: Also A portion remaining, (K, TA,) of a thing, such as food &c., and of water in the leathern water-bag, and of wine or beverage in the vessel; (TA;) and ↓ فَضْلَةٌ and ↓ فُضَالَةٌ signify the same, (K, TA,) or a redundant portion (S and O and Msb in explanation of these two words) of a thing: (S, O:) whence the saying of the vulgar, ↓ لِلْفَضِيلِ ↓ الفَضْلَةُ i. e. The remaining portion of the wine or beverage [is for the excel-lent]. (TA.) It is said in a trad., لَا يُمْنَعُ فَضْلُ المَآءِ لِيُمْنَعَ بِهِ الكَلَأُ [The redundance of water shall not be denied that the herbage be thereby denied]: (TA, in the present art.:) meaning that when there is a well in the desert, with herbage near it, and a person prevents others from drawing water, he thereby prevents the latter from availing themselves of the herbage; for when a man comes with his camels, and pastures them upon that herbage, and does not then water them, thirst kills them. (TA in art كلأ,) And it is said in another trad., فَضْلُ الإِزَارِ فِى النَّارِ [The redundant portion of the waist-wrapper is in the fire of Hell]; meaning what one drags [thereof] upon the around, by reason of pride. (TA;) and one says, فِى يَدِهِ فَضْلُ الزِّمَامِ, meaning [In his hand is] the end of the زمام [or nose-rein of the camel]. (TA.) ذَاتُ الفُضُولِ and ↓ الفضُولِ, with damm and with fet-h, [The thing having redundant portions] is the name of the coat of mail of the Prophet, which was thus called because having redundance and ampleness. (TA.) فُضُولُ الغَنَائِمِ means The remains of the spoils when they are divided (TA;) such as a single horse, or a single camel (KL.) And by the فُضُول of women are meant The remains of the menstrual discharge (Ham p. 107: see, there, explanations of a verse in which this occurs.) (??) [The confederacy, or covenant, of the فضول, a word which is here of uncertain meaning,] is thus explained: Háshim and Zuhrah and Teym [accord. to the CK Teymà] went in to 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Jud'án, and united in a confederacy to repel wrongdoing, and to exact the due from the wrongdoer; and it was thus called because they bound themselves by their confederacy not to leave in the possession of any one aught remaining [of property] whereof he aught despond any one, without their taking it for him [i. e. the latter] from him [i. e. the former] (O, K, TA: [in the CK, يَظْلِمُهُ أَحَدٌ is a mistake for يظلمه أَحَدًا:]) or it was thus called as being likened to a confederacy, or covenant, which was made of old, at Mekkeh, in the days of Jurhum, to act with mutual equity, and to take for the weak from the strong, and for the stranger from the resident, and in which three men, every one of whom was named El-Fadl, joined: and it was also called that of the مَطَيَّبُون. (TA. [See art. طيب.]) b3: The saying لَا يَمْلِكُ دِرْهَمًا فَضْلًا عَنْ دِينَارٍ, and the like may be said of other sayings similar to it, means He does not possess a dirhem nor a deenár [or rather much less a deenár]: it is as though one said, he does not possess a dirhem: how then should he possess a deenár? for the negation of that which is much is a necessary consequence of the negation of that which is little: فَضْلًا is here in the accus case as an inf. n.; the implied meaning being فَقَدَ مِلْكَ دِرْهَمٍ فَقْدًا يَفْضُلُ عَنْ فَقْدِ مِلْكِ دينَارٍ [or rather يَفْقِدُ &c., i. e. he lacks the possession of a dirhem with a lacking exceeding the lacking of the possession of a deenár]: (Msb:) Kutb-ed-Deen Esh-Sheerázee says, (Msb, TA,) in the Expos. of the “ Miftáh,” (TA,) فَضْلًا is used in a case in which the inferior [of two things] is deemed a thing of which the existence is improbable, and the impossibility of the existence of a thing that is above it is meant thereby; wherefore it occurs between two phrases differing in meaning; and it is mostly used after a particle of negation: (Msb, TA:) AHei says that he had not found any authority for it in the [classical] language of the Arabs. (Msb. [See also بَلْهَ, which is used in a somewhat similar manner.]) فُضُلٌ Wearing a single garment, such as is termed مِفْضَلٌ; an epithet applied to a woman; (S, Mgh, * O, K;) and also to a man; (S, O, K;) like ↓ مُتَفَضِّلٌ: (O, K:) it is of the dial. of Nejd; like فُرُجٌ in the dial. of El-Yemen. (L in art. فرج.) b2: And A woman proud, or self-conceited, or so in her gait; who makes a portion of her skirt to be redundant [so that it drags upon the ground when she walks]. (TA.) b3: See also مِفْضَلٌ, in three places.

فَضْلَةٌ: see فَضْلٌ, former half, in two places. b2: [Hence, as used by grammarians,] A dispensable member of a proposition; such as the objective complement of a verb, when the suppression thereof is not detrimental [to the meaning]; contr. of عُمْدَةٌ. (I'Ak, p. 143) [The pl. is فَضَلَاتٌ.] b3: And The clothes that are used for sleeping [therein]: (K, TA:) [so called] because they are an addition over and above the clothes that are used on various [other] occasions. (TA.) b4: And Wine; and so ↓ فِضَالٌ [which see also in what here follows]: (O, K:) الفَضْلَةُ is mentioned by A'Obeyd as a name for wine: (O:) or it signifies, accord. to AHn, the wine that alters [or has become altered] in colour after oldness; and ISd says that it is so called because the choice, or best, or most excellent, part thereof [for لأنّ حميمها in my original (an obvious mistranscription) I read لِأَنَّ صَمِيمَهَا ] is what remains: (TA:) the pl. is فَضَلَاتٌ and فِضَالٌ [the latter word mentioned above as a syn. of فَضْلَةٌ]. (K.) فِضْلَةٌ is a n. of the same kind as جِلْسَةٌ and رِكْبَةٌ: (Az, S, O, TA:) one says, إِنَّهُ لَحَسَنُ الفِضْلَةِ, meaning [Verily he is comely in respect of] the manner of wearing a single garment.

فِيلٌ may be originally of the measure فُعْلٌ, (S, M, O,) pronounced with kesr because of the ى, like as they said أَبْيَضُ and بيضٌ; but Akh says, this is not the case in the sing, but only in the pl.: (S, O:) fem. with ة.

[b4: And hence, likewise, used as an epithet,] فِيلٌ signifies also (tropical:) Heavy [or dull]; and low, ignoble, or mean. (K, TA.) b5: And one says رَجُلٌ فِيلُ الرَّأْىِ, meaning A man weak in respect of judgment, or opinion; (T, S, M, O, K;) and so ↓ فِيْلُهُ; (M, K;) and ↓ فَائِلُهُ: (T, M, O, K;) and ↓ فَيِّلُهُ, (ISk, T, S, M, O, K,) of the measure فَيْعِل; (O:) and ↓ فَالُهُ, (T, M, O, K,) and فَالٌ alone.

(TA.) الفَيَالُ and الفِيَالُ, (Lth, T, M, O, K) the former a subst, and the latter an inf. n. [of 3], (Lth, T, O,) and ↓ المُفَايَلَةُ [which is likewise an inf. n. of 3], (M, K,) A certain game, (Lth, T, M, O, K,) well known, (O,) of the children, (T,) or of the youths, or young men, of the Arabs (M, K) of the desert, (M,) with earth, or dust: (Lth, T, M, O:) a thing is hidden in earth, or dust, which is then divided (T, M) into two portions; then the hider says to his companion, In which of them twain is it? (T;) and if he [who is thus questioned] mistake, the hider says to him فَالَ رَأْيُكَ: (T, M, * K; *) ISk termed it الفِئَالُ, with ء; (O;) and it has been mentioned before in art. فأل: (T, O, K:) accord. to some, (TA,) this game is called الطَّبَنُ and السُدَّرُ. (T, TA. [But see the former of these two words.]) فَيَالَةٌ: see the first paragraph.

فُيُولَةٌ: see the first paragraph.

فَيِّلُ اللَّحْمِ A man having much flesh: (T, O, * K:) some pronounce it with ء, (T, O,) saying فَيأَل, (T,) or فَئِل; (O;) both mentioned before [in art. فأل]. (TA.) b2: فَيِّلُ الرَّأْىِ: see فِيلٌ, latter half.

فَيِّالٌ The attendant, or master, (S, M, O, Msb, K,) or the keeper, or driver, (MA, KL,) of the فِيل [or elephant], (S, MA, O, Msb, KL,) or of the فِيلَة. (So in the M and K.) فَائِلُ الرَّأْىِ: see فِيلٌ, latter half, in two places.

A2: الفَائِلُ [as a subst.] signifies The flesh that is upon the خُرْبَة, (S, O,) or خُرْب, (K, [in the M, accord. to the TT, حرف, app. a mistranscription,]) of the وَرِك; (S, M, O, K;) [which, I think, will be plainly seen from what follows to mean the flesh that is upon the sacro-ischiatic foramen; though خُرْبَةُ الوَرِكِ and خُرْبُ الوَرِكِ are said in the TA, in art. خرب, to mean “ the hole where the head of the thigh-bone is inserted; ”] so says A 'Obeyd: (S, O:) or, (S, M, O, K,) as some say, so adds A 'Obeyd, (S, O,) a certain vein (T, S, M, O, K) in the خُرْبَة of the وَرِك, descending into the leg, (T,) or in the thigh: (S, O:) As says, in “ the Book of the Horse,” in the وَرِك is the خُرْبَة, which is a نُقْرَة wherein is flesh, no bone being in it; and in that نُقْرَة is the فَائِل, and there is no bone between the said نقرة and the belly, but only skin and flesh; (T, * S, O;) and he cites the saying of El-Aashà, قَدْ نَخْضِبُ العَيْرَ فِى مَكْنُونِ فَائِلِهِ وَقَدْ يَشِيطُ عَلَى أَرْمَاحِنَا البَطَلُ [Oft we stain the ridge of the spear-head in what is concealed in the interior of his فائل, and oft the man of valour dies by means of our spears]; مَكْنُونُ الفَائِلِ means his blood: he says [by implication], we are skilful in respect of the place of piercing: (S, O:) but As said مِنْ in the place of فِى; and AA, قَدْ نَطْعُنُ; which has been pronounced to be wrong: (O:) or the فَائِلَانِ, (T, M,) or the ↓ فَائِلَتَانِ, (so in the K, [app. a mistranscription,]) are two veins entering into the interior parts of the thighs (T, M, K,) in the hinder parts thereof; (M, K;) and they adduce as an evidence thereof the verse of El-Aashà cited above, saying that the epithet مكنون would not have been used if the فائل were not a vein; but others say that [the poet meant that] he made the spear-head to become concealed in the furthest part of the flesh; and if the فائل were a vein, it would not have been mentioned as it has been in a phrase of Imra-el-Keys which will be cited in what follows: (M:) [hence it is said,] or they are two portions of flesh [between which is the lower part of the os sacrum, i. e.] the lower parts of which are upon the صَلَوَان [dual of صَلًا], from the region of the lower portions of the حَجَبَتَانِ to the عَجْب, bordering upon the عُصْعُص on either side, descending in the two sides of the two thighs; [so in a human being,] and thus in the horse: (M, K: [for the meanings of the words that I have here left untranslated, I must refer to their several proper arts.; as they are variously explained:]) ↓ الفَالُ is a dial. var. of الفَائِلُ; (M, K, TA;) which is expl. by Sgh [in the O] as meaning a certain vein issuing from the فَوَّارَة of the وَرِك [i. e. from the sacro-ischiatic foramen]: (TA:) [but the assertion that الفال is a dial. var. of الفائل seems to be founded only upon what here follows:] Imra-el-Keys says, [describing a horse,] لَهُ حَجَبَاتٌ مُشْرِفَاتٌ عَلَى الفَالِ (S, M; or على الفَالِى, as in the O and TA;) [i. e. He has edges of the haunch-bones projecting above, or beyond, the فائل; for] he means على فَائِلِ, having altered the latter word by transposition. (T, S, O, TA.) فَائِلَةٌ: see its dual in the next preceding paragraph, near the middle.

(Fr, S.) 4 البأت She (a ewe, or goat, M, TA,) excerned, or yielded, or emitted [either into, or from, her udder] her biestings. (M, K.) b2: أَلْبَؤُوا Their biestings became abundant.

(Bd.) b4: One says, مَا اسْمُكَ أَذْكُرْ, (Fs and Lb, and so in a copy of the K,) or أَذْكُرْهُ, (so in another copy of the K, and in the TA,) the hemzeh of أَذْكُرْ being disjunctive, (Lb, K,) [in the CK we find مَا اسمُكَ اَذْكِرْهُ بقطعِ الهَمْزَةِ مِنْ اَذْكَر, as though the reading were أَذْكَرْهُ with a disjunctive hemzeh from أَذْكَرَ, which is manifestly wrong,] and with fet-h, because it is the hemzeh of the first person of a triliteral [unaugmented] verb, and with the ر mejzoom, because it is the complement of an interrogative phrase: (Lb:) it is expressive of disapprobation, (Lb, K,) and means, Acquaint me with thy name: [or, lit., what is thy name?] I will remember it, or I will bear it in mind (اذكره): the conditional phrase [if thou tell it to me] is suppressed because unnecessary, on account of frequent usage of the saying, and because what remains is indicative of it: (Lb, MF:) the saying is a prov.; and is also related with the conjunctive hemzeh, [اذْكُرْ, or اذْكُرْ; in which case it is most appropriately rendered, What is thy name? Say: or Tell it] but the reading with the disjunctive hemzeh is that which is commonly known: (TA:) [for]

A2: ذَكَرَهُ, aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. ذِكْرَى, fem., [and imperfectly decl,] (Msb,) and ذِكْرٌ and ذُكْرٌ, (TA,) [or the former of these two (which is the most common of all) but not the latter, or, as is said in the Msb, both are properly substs., and a distinction is made between them, as will be shown below,] also signifies He mentioned it; told it; related it; said it; (TA;) and so ذَكَرَهُ بِلِسَانِهِ [to distinguish it from ذَكَرَ in the first sense explained above]. (S, Msb.) You say ذَكَرْتُ لِفُلَانٍ حَدِيثَ كَذَاوَكَذَا I mentioned, or told, or related, to such a one the story of such and such things. (TA.) And ذَكَرَ امْرَأُ بِمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ [He mentioned, or spoke of, a man as having that attribute which was not in him]. (El-Jámi' es-Sagheer voce مَنْ) b2: And ذَكَرَهُ (assumed tropical:) He magnified Him, namely, God; celebrated, lauded, or praised, Him; asserted his unity; (Zj;) [saying سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ, and الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ, and اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ; or لَاإِلَاهَ إِلَّااللّٰهُ; or هُوَاللّٰهُ; or the like.] b3: [And, in like manner, (assumed tropical:) He spoke well of him, namely, a man; mentioned him with approbation; eulogized, praised, or commended, him: for ذَكَرَهُ بِالجَمِيلِ, or بِخَيْرٍ

See ذِكْرٌ below.] b4: Also, contr., [for ذَكَرَهُ بِالقَبِيحِ or بِشَرٍّ] (assumed tropical:) He spoke evil of him; men-tioned him with evil words; (Fr;) mentioned his vices, or faults; spoke evil of him behind his back, or in his absence, saying of him what would grieve him if he heard it, but saying what was true; or merely said of him what would grieve him: an elliptical expression in this and in the contrary sense; what is meant being known. (Zj.) One says to a man, لَئِنْ ذَكَرْتَنِى لَتَنْدَمَنَّ, meaning [Verily, if thou mention me] with evil words [thou will assuredly repent]: and in like manner the verb is used in the Kur xxi. 37 and 61: and 'Antarah says, لَاتَذْكُرِى فَرَسِى وَمَا أَطْعَمْتُهُ فَيَكُونَ جِلْدُكَ مِثْلَ جِلْدِ الأَجْرَبِ meaning Mention thou not reproachfully [my horse, and what I have given him for food, for, if thou do, thy skin will be like the skin of the scabby]: (Fr, T:) but AHeyth disallows this signification of the verb, and explains the saying of 'Antarah as meaning, Be not thou fond of mentioning my horse, and my preferring him before the family. (T, TA.) b5: ذَكَرَ فُلَانَةَ, inf. n ذِكْرٌ, [expressly said to be] with kesr, [so in the CK, and I think it the right reading,] or ذَكْرٌ, [so in a MS. copy of the K, and in the TA,] with fet-h, [so in the TA,] He demanded such a one in marriage: or he addressed himself to demand her in marriage: (K:) [as though the mentioning a woman implied a desire to demand her in marriage:] it occurs in one of these two senses in a trad. (TA.) A3: ذَكَرَهُ, inf. n. ذَكْرٌ, with fet-h, He struck him upon his penis. (K.) 2 ذكّرهُ إِيَّاهُ, (S, A, * Msb, K,) and ذكّرهُ بِهِ, (Kur xiv. 5, &c.,) inf. n. تَذْكِرَةٌ (A, TA) and تَذْكِيرٌ, (K, TA,) and quasi-inf. n. ↓ ذِكْرَى imperfectly decl.; (A, * K, * TA;) and ايّاهُ ↓ اذكرهُ; (S, Msb, K;) He reminded him of, or caused him to remember, him, or it. (S, Msb, K.) b2: And ذكّر, (TA,) inf. n. تَذْكِيرٌ (K) [and تَذْكِرَةٌ also, as in the Kur xx. 2], He exhorted; admonished; exhorted to obedience; gave good advice, and reminded of the results of affairs; reminded of what might soften the heart, by the mention of rewards and punishments. (K, TA.) Thus the verb is used in the Kur lxxxviii. 21. (TA.) A2: Also ذكّرهُ, inf. n. تَذْكِيرُ, He made it (a word) masculine; contr. of أَنَّثَهُ. (S, * Msb, K. *) b2: In the Kur [ii. 282], فَتُذَكِّرَ إِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى is said by some to signify (assumed tropical:) That one of them may make the other to be in the legal predicament of a male: [meaning that both of them together shall be as one man:] or, accord. to others, one of them may remind the other. (TA.) b3: It is said in a trad., فَذَكِّرُوهُ ↓ القُرْآنُ ذَكَرٌ (tropical:) The Kur-án is eminently excellent [lit., masculine]: therefore do ye hold it and know it and describe it as such. (K, TA. [In the CK, for ذَكَرٌ is put ذِكْرٌ.]) b4: [Hence,] ذكّرهُ, (TA,) inf. n. تَذْكِيرٌ, (K,) He put to it, namely a sword, (TA,) and the head of an axe &c., (K,) an edge of steel. (K, * TA.) [See ذُكْرَةٌ.]3 ذاكرهُ, (MA,) inf. n. مُذَاكَرَةٌ, (KL;) He called to mind with him (MA, KL) a story, or discourse, or the like, (MA,) or a thing. (KL.) b2: [And hence, He conferred with him.]4 أَذْكَرَ see 2.

A2: اذكر also signifies He (a man [or other]) begat a male. (TA from a trad.) and اذكرت She (a woman, S, A, or other female, TA) brought forth a male, (S, A, K,) or males. (Mgh.) It is said in a prayer for a woman in labour, أَيْسَرَتْ وَأَذْكَرَتْ May she have an easy birth, and may she bring forth a male child. (A.) And you say also, اذكرت بِهِ (assumed tropical:) She brought him forth a male, and hardy: (TA from a trad.:) or a male, and sharp and cunning. (Mgh.) 5 تَذَكَّرَ see 1, in five places, in the first and second sentences. b2: [Also It (a word) was, or became, or was made, of the masculine gender; contr. of تأنّث.]6 تذاكروا They called to mind [a story, or discourse, or the like, or a thing,] one with another. (KL. [See 3.]) b2: [And hence, They conferred together.]8 اِدَّكَرَ and اِذَّكَرَ and اِذْدَكَرَ: see 1, in three places, in the first and second sentences.10 إِسْتَذْكَرَ see 1, in six places, in the first and third sentences.

ذَكْرٌ: see ذِكْرٌ: A2: and ذَكِيرٌ.

ذُكْرٌ: see ذِكْرٌ, in six places.

A2: سَيْفٌ ذُو ذُكْرٍ, or ↓ ذُكُرٍ, (as in different copies of the S,) and أَذْكِرَةٍ, [which is the pl.,] (A,) (tropical:) A cutting, or sharp, sword. (S, A.) [See ذُكْرَةٌ.]

ذِكْرٌ (Yoo, A'Obeyd, Yaakoob, S, M, A, Msb, K) and ↓ ذُكْرٌ, (Yoo, A'Obeyd, Yaakoob, S, A, Msb, K, TA,) or the latter only in the first of the senses here to be explained, (Fr, Msb, TA,) and the latter only is mentioned in this sense in the Fs, (TA,) and is said by El-Ahmar to be of the dial. of Kureysh, (TA,) [both said in the Msb to be simple substs., though many hold them to be inf. ns.,] and ↓ ذَكْرٌ, accord. to one of the expositors of the Fs, but this is strange, (TA,) and ↓ ذِكْرَةٌ (S, M) and ↓ ذُكْرَةٌ (M, TA) and ↓ ذِكْرَى, (S, M, [see 1, first sentence,]) and also دِكْرٌ (S) and دُكْرٌ, mentioned by ISd as of the dial. of Rabee'ah, but held by him to be of weak authority, (TA,) Remembrance; (S, M, A, Msb, K, &c.;) the presence of a thing in the mind: (Er-Rághib:) also termed ذِكْرٌ بِالقَلْبِ, (Msb, TA,) to distinguish it from ذِكْرٌ in another sense, to be explained below: (TA:) he pl. of ↓ ذِكْرَةٌ is ذِكَرٌ, (M,) also said to be pl. of ↓ ذِكْرَى. (MF, art. احد.) You say, ↓ اِجْعَلْهُ مِنْكَ عَلَى ذُكْرٍ and ذِكْرٍ in the same sense, Place thou him, or it, in thy remembrance. (S.) And أَجْعَلَهُ مِنِّى

↓ عَلَى ذُكْرٍ, and ذِكْرٍ, I will not forget him, or it. (A.) And ↓ مَا زَالَ مِنِّى عَلَى ذُكْرٍ, and ذِكْرٍ (K,) or the former only, (Fr, Msb, TA,) He, or it, did not cease to be in my remembrance; (K;) I did not forget him, or it. (Fr, TA.) and ↓ أَنْتَ مِنِّى عَلَى ذُكْرٍ Thou art in my mind. (ISd, Lb.) b2: The words in the Kur [xxix. 44]

وَلَذِكْرُ اللّٰهِ أَكْبَرُ admit of two explanations: The remembrance of God is better for a man than a man's remembrance of a man: and the remembrance of God is better as more efficacious in forbidding evil conduct than is prayer. (TA.) b3: ذِكْرٌ also signifies Memory; a certain quality of the mind, by which a man is able to remember what he cares to know; like حِفُظٌ, except that this latter term is used with regard to the preservation of a thing [in the mind], whereas the former is used with regard to calling it to mind. (Er-Rághib.) A2: Also ذِكْرٌ (Er-Rághib, Msb, TA) and ↓ ذُكْرٌ, (Msb, TA,) or the former only accord. to Fr, (Msb, TA,) and ↓ ذِكْرَى (Msb,) The mention, telling, relating, or saying, of a thing: said by some to be contr. of صَمْتٌ: (TA:) and also termed ذِكْرٌ بِاللِّسَانِ (Msb, TA,) to distinguish it from ذِكْرٌ in the sense first explained above. (TA.) b2: Also ذِكْرٌ (assumed tropical:) The praise, and glorification, of God; the celebration, or declaration, of his remoteness, or freedom, from every impurity or imperfection, or from everything derogatory from his glory; or the saying سُبْحَانَ, اللّٰهِ, [and الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ, and أَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ,] and لَا إِلَاهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ, [&c., see 1,] and uttering all the forms of his praise: a reading, or reciting, of the Kur-án: a thanking [God]: obedience [to God]: (Abu-l- 'Abbás:) prayer to God; (K;) supplication.

Thus in the saying, لَهُ ذِكْرٌ فِى النَّاسِ (tropical:) He has fame among the people: in which it has also the signification next following. (A.) b7: (tropical:) Eminence; nobility; honour. (S, A, Msb, K.) So in the Kur [xciv. 4], وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ (tropical:) And We have raised for thee thine eminence, or thy nobility, or thine honour: as some say, it means, when I am mentioned, thou art mentioned with Me: and again, in the Kur [xliii. 43], وَ إِنَّهُ لَذِكْرٌ لَكَ وَ لِقَوْمِكَ (tropical:) And verily it (the Kur-án) is an honour to thee and to thy people.

ذَكَرٌ [probably originally signifying “ mentioned,” or “ talked of,” of the measure فَعَلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, like نَفَضٌ in the sense of مَنْفُوضٌ, and خَبَطٌ in the sense of مَخْبُوطٌ, and قَبَضٌ in the sense of مَقْبُوضٌ, &c.; and hence the first, and perhaps most others, of the significations here following:] Male; masculine; of the male, or masculine, sex, or gender; contr. of أُنْثَى: (S, A, Msb, K, &c.:) [the corresponding word in Hebrew () has been supposed to have this signification because a male is much “ mentioned,” or “ talked of; ” and it is well known that the Arabs make comparatively little account of a female:] pl. ذُكُورٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ذُكُورَةٌ (A, Msb, K) and ذِكَارٌ (K) and ذِكَارَةٌ and ذُكْرَانٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ذِكَرَةٌ: (S, K:) [the last, in one copy of the S, I find written ↓ ذِكْرَةٌ, which, if correct, is a pl. of pauc.: and in the TA, in the same phrase in which it occurs in the S, it is written ↓ ذُكْرَةٌ, and expressly said to be with damm, so that it is a quasi-pl. n.:] the pl. form with و and ن is not allowable. (Msb.) One says, كَمِ الذِّكَرَةُ مِنْ وَلَدِكَ, or ↓ الذِّكْرَةُ, (accord. to different copies of the S,) or ↓ الذُّكْرَةُ, with damm, (accord. to the TA,) How many are the males of thy children?

(Mgh.) b3: Applied to a man, (A, K,) it also signifies (tropical:) Strong; courageous; acute and ardent; vigorous and effective in affairs; [and also] stubborn; and disdainful: (TA:) or [masculine, meaning] perfect; like as أُنْثَى is applied to a woman. (T and A in art. انث.) The signification of “ strong, courageous, and stubborn,” and the significations which the same word has when applied to rain and to a saying, are assigned in the K to ↓ ذِكْرٌ; but [SM says,] I know not how this is; for in the other lexicons they are assigned to ذَكَرٌ.

(TA.) [See the contr., طِيبٌ مُؤَنَّثٌ, in art. انث.] b8: ذَكَرٌ applied to the Kur-án signifies (tropical:) Eminently excellent. (K.) See 2. b9: Applied to a saying, (tropical:) Strong and firm: and in like manner to poetry. (A.) b10: The Arabs disliked a she-camel's bringing forth a male; and hence they applied the term ذَكَرٌ, met., to (tropical:) Anything disliked. (A.) b11: [Thus,] applied to rain, it signifies (tropical:) Violent; (A, K;) falling in large drops. (K.) They said, أَصَابَتِ الأَرْضَ ذُكُورُ الأَسْمِيَةِ (tropical:) Rains bringing intense cold and torrents fell upon the earth. (A.) b12: Applied to a day, (tropical:) [Severe; distressing; hard to be borne: see also مُذَكَّرٌ].
