(TA in art. دجن, from a trad.) 2 مَثَّلَ : see a verse of Kutheiyir in art. رود, conj. 4. b2: مَثَّلَهُ: see شَبَّهَهُ.3 مَاثَلَهُ i. q. شَابَهَهُ. (TA.) 4 أَمْثَلَهُ He set it up: from مَثَلَ “ he stood erect. ” b2: He set up a butt or mark: see an ex. voce غَرَضٌ.5 تَمَثَّلَ بِكَذَا [He affected to be like, or imitated, such a thing;] i. q. تَشَبَّهَ بِهِ.

مَثَلٌ i. q. صِفَةٌ [as meaning A description, condition, state, case, &c.]; (S, K, &c.;) or وَصْفٌ [meaning the same]: (Msb:) or this is a mistake: (Mbr, AAF, TA:) or it may be a tropical signification: (MF, TA:) for in the language of the Arabs it means a description by way of comparison: (AAF, TA:) you say مثل زيد مثل فلان [The description of Zeyd, by way of comparison, or the condition, &c., is that of such a one]: it is from المِثاَلُ and الحَذْوُ: (Mbr, TA:) it is metaphorically applied to a condition, state, or case, that is important, strange, or wonderful. (Ksh, Bd in ii. 16.) The phrase here given is more literally, and better, rendered, The similitude of Zeyd is the similitude, or is that, of such a one; for a similitude is a description by way of comparison. b2: You say also, جَعَلَهُ مَثَلًا لِكَذَا [He made it (an expression or the like) to be descriptive, by way of comparison, of such a thing].

تَمَاثِيلُ , in the following hemistich of Ibn-Ahmar, تَمَاثِيلُ قِرْطَاسٍ عَلَى هَبْهَبِيَّةٍ signifies كُتُبٌ يَكْتُبُونَهَا. (L, in TA, voce هَبْهَبِىٌّ, as signifying a “ light, or active,” camel.)

Pronounce not thou my name with hemz: (M:) for the tribe of Kureysh did not pronounce with hemz. (TA.) And when ElMahdee performed the pilgrimage, he preferred El-Kisáee to recite the prayers in El-Medeeneh, and the people of that city disapproved of his pronouncing with hemz, asking him wherefore he did so in reciting the Kur-án in the mosque of the Apostle of God.

[i. e. pl. of انبار] is أَنَابِيرُ. (T.) b2: أَنْبَارٌ also signifies A merchant's magazine, or chamber, (بَيْت,) in which he puts together, in order, or piles up, his goods. (M, K.) [In the K, it is added, that the sing. is نِبْرٌ: but this addition seems to be misplaced: for انبار in the last of the senses here explained, as well as when applied to a granary. and to a collection of طعام, appears to be a pl. without a sing.]

(A.) [Accord. to the TA, the addition “ from this place and that,” which is found in the K and A, and in one place in the S, seems to be unnecessary. And ↓ انتقر signifies the same: see 8, in art. قب.] b2: [Hence, because of the sure aim with which a bird pecks a thing,] the same verb, having the same [aor. and] inf. n. signifies, (tropical:) It (an arrow) hit the butt. (Msb.) And He (an archer) hit the butt, without making his arrow to pass through, partly or wholly. (TA.) b3: [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) He took [or picked] a thing, as, for instance, food, with the finger. (TA.) b4: Also, (M, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (M, TA,) He struck a thing (IKtt, K, * TA,) with a thing: (IKtt, TA:) [generally, he struck, knocked, or pecked, a thing with a pointed instrument, like as a bird strikes a thing with its beak:] he struck [or pecked] a mill-stone, or a stone, &c., with a مِنْقَار [which is a pick, or a kind of pickaxe; i. e., he wrought it into shape, and roughened it in its surface, with a pick]. (M, TA.) b5: [Hence,] (tropical:) He wrote [or engraved writing] فِى حَجَرٍ upon a stone. (A, K.) Whence the saying, التَّعْلِيمُ فِى الصِّغَرِ كَالنَّقْرِ عَلَى الحَجَرِ [or, as in a verse of Niftaweyh, فِى الحَجَرِ, i. e., Teaching in infancy is like engraving writing upon stone]. (TA.) b6: He struck [or fillipped] a man's head, and in like manner a lute, and a tambourine, with his finger. (TA.) You say also أُذُنَهُ ↓ أَنْقَرَ, meaning, He struck [or fillipped] his ear with his finger. (AA, in TA, art. نطب.) b7: [Hence,] نَقَرَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. نَقْرٌ, as appears from what follows;] and ↓ أَنْقَرَ; (tropical:) [He made a snapping with his thumb and middle finger;] he struck his thumb against the end of the middle finger and made a sound with them. (A.) [And in like manner the former verb used transitively; as in the following instance:] وَضَعَ طَرَفَ إِبْهَامِهِ عَلَى بَاطِنِ سَبَّابَتِهِ ثُمَّ نَقَرَهَا [(tropical:) He put the end of his thumb against the inner side of his first finger, then made a snapping with it].

(TA.) A poet, (S,) Fedekee El-Minkaree, (K,) i. e., 'Obeyd Ibn-Máweeyeh, of the tribe of Teiyi, (TA,) uses النَّقُرْ for النَّقْرْ, meaning النَّقْرُ بِالْخَيْلِ [The smacking with the tongue to urge the horses]: pausing after the word, at the end of a hemistich, he transfers the vowel of the ر to the ق, (S, K,) agreeably with the dial. of certain of the Arabs, (TA,) that the hearer may know it to be the vowel of the [final] letter when there is no pause; (S;) like as you say, هٰذَا بَكْرُ and مَرَرْتُ بِبَكِرْ: but this is not done when the word is in the accus. case (S, K:) and if you choose, you may make the final letter quiescent in pausing, though it is preceded by a quiescent letter. (S.) b9: Hence also, فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِى النَّاقُورِ [Kur, lxxiv. 8,] (tropical:) For when the horn shall be blown: (S, * A, * Bd, K:) from نَقْرٌ signifying (tropical:) the making a sound: originally, striking, which is the cause of sound. (Bd.) See also نَاقُورٌ, below. b10: Also, نَقَرَ He bored, perforated, or made a hole through or in or into, a thing: (TA:) or he did so with a مِنْقَار: (S:) and, inf. n. نَقْرٌ, he hollowed out, or excavated, a piece of wood. (Mgh, Msb.) نُقِرٌ and ↓ اِنْتَقَرَ, (so in some copies of the K,) or ↓ أُنْتُقِرَ, (so in other copies of the K and in the TA,) both in the pass. form, (TA,) said of stone and of wood and the like, signify alike, (K,) It was bored, or perforated, or it had a hole made through or in or into it: (TA:) [and it was hollowed out.] Yousay, نَقَرَ البَيْضَةَ عَنِ الفَرْخِ, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. نَقْرٌ, (TA.)

(Lth, A, K.) And in like manner, ↓ انتقرت السُّيُولُ نُقَرًا The torrents left hollows in the ground, in which water was retained. (TA.) b11: Hence, نَقَرَ عَنِ الأَمْرِ; (Msb;) and عَنْهُ ↓ نقّر, (S, K,) inf. n. تَنْقِيرٌ; (S;) and ↓ نقّرهُ; and ↓ تنقّرهُ: and ↓ انتقرهُ; (K;) (tropical:) He searched or inquired into the thing; investigated, scrutinized, or examined, it; (S, Msb, K, TA;) and endeavoured to know it: (TA;) and so نَقَرَ عَنِ لخَبَرِ (tropical:) he investigated the news, and endeavoured to know it. (A.) [and hence,] السَّهْمَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ ↓ نقّر. (K, in art. حن,) or عَلَى الإِبْهَامِ, inf. n. تَنْقِيرٌ, (K, in art. دوم,) [He tried the sonorific quality of the arrow by turning it round between his fingers, or upon his thumb: see حَنَّانٌ, and دَرَّ السَّهْمُ, and see also 4, in art. دوم: or] نقّر السَّهْمَ signifies he made the arrow to produce a sharp sound [by turning it round between his fingers, or] upon his thumb. (TK, in art. دوم.) 2 نَقَّرَ see 1, last two sentences.4 أَنْقَرَ see 1, in three places, in the first half.

A2: انقر عَنْهُ, (S, K,) inf. n. إِنْفَارٌ, (TA,) He refrained, forbore, abstained, or desisted, from it or him; he left or relinquished, it or him. (S, * K.) Hence the saying, ضَرَبَهُ فَمَا أَنْقَرَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ He beat him and left him not until be killed him. (TA.) And hence the saying of I'Ab, مَاكَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُنْقِرَ عَنْ قَاتِلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ, i. e., God will not leave the slayer of the believer until He destroy him (S, TA.) 5 تَنَقَّرَ see 1, last signification 8 إِنْتَقَرَ see 1, latter part, in four places.

نَقْرٌ (tropical:) A slight sound that is heard in consequence of striking the thumb against the middle finger [and then letting them fly apart in opposite directions, passing each other]: (S, K:) [or the snapping with the fingers or with the thumb and middle finger, or with the thumb and first finger; as also ↓ نَقيرٌ: n. an. of the former with ة.] One says, مَا أَثَابَهُ نَقْرَةٌ (tropical:) [He did not reward him with even a snap of the fingers;] meaning, with anything: (S, K [in the former of which it is implied that نقرة thus used is from نَقْرٌ in the first of the senses explained above;]) not used thus save in [a negative phrase. (S.) A poet says, وَهُنّ حَرَى أَلَّا يُثِبْنَكَ نقْرَةٌ وَأَنْتَ حَرُى بِالنَّار حِينَ تُثِيبُ (tropical:) [And they are fit, or worthy, not to reward thee with anything, and thou art fit for, or worthy of, the fire of hell when thou rewardest]. (S.) Or the right reading in both these instances is ↓ نُقْرَةً, with damm. (TA.)

[See also an (??) in a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. شأو.] I'Ab, in explanation of the words of the Kur, [iv. 123,] وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا, put the end of the thumb against the inner side of his first finger, then made a snapping with it (ثُمَّ نَقَرَهَا), and said, This is what is termed ↓ نَقِيرٌ; [denoting the lit. meaning to be (tropical:) And they shall not be wronged a snap of the fingers.] (TA.) But see نُقْرَةٌ, below. b2: Also, A sound, or slight sound, by which a horse is put in motion: (TS, K:) as also ↓ نَقِيرٌ: (TA:) or the former has one or other of the different significations assigned to it above, in the explanations under the head of نَقَرَ بِالدَّابَّةِ.

(S.) b2: Hence, (S.) The place where the قَمَحْدُوَة [or occiput] ends, in the back part of the neck; (K;) i. e., the hollow in the back of the neck; (TA;) what is called نُقْرَةُ القَفَا; (S, A, Msb;) i. e., the hollow where (??) brain ends: the cupping in that part occasions forgetfulness: (Msb.)

(Msb.) It is said in a trad., that Mohammad forbade النَّقِير, (S, * Msb, * TA,) meaning, the نبيذ thereof.

(A, Msb.) b3: [Hence,] أَخْطَأَتْ نَوَاقِرُهُ (tropical:) [lit., His arrows that were wont to hit the butt missed]; meaning, he did not continue in the right course. (TA.) [And hence,] نَاقِرَةٌ (tropical:) A calamity; (K, TA;) pl. نَوَاقِرُ. (TA.) One says, رَمَاهُ الدَّهْرُ بِنَاقِرَةٍ, and بِنَوَاقِرَ, (tropical:) Fortune smote him with a calamity, and with calamities. (TA.) b4: Also, نَاقِرَةٌ (tropical:) A right argument, allegation, evidence, or the like; syn. حُجَّةٌ مُصِيبَةٌ: in the K, a و is incorrectly inserted between these two words: but the pl., نَوَاقِرُ, is afterwards correctly rendered in the K.

In the CK, the verb is قَدَّرَ.) Hence, say some, the appellation of لَيْلَةُ القَدْرِ, [in the Kur, ch. xcvii.,) as being The night wherein the means of subsistence are apportioned. (TA.) See also قَدْرٌ, below. b9: Also, aor. ـِ and قَدُرَ, but the former is that which is adopted by the seven readers [of the Kur-án], and is the more chaste, (Msb,) He (God) straitened, or rendered scanty, [as though He measured and limited,] the means of subsistence: (Bd, xiii. 26, and other places; and Msb:) and قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ, [see Kur, lxv. 7,] inf. n. قَدْرٌ, his means of subsistence were straitened to him; like قُتِرَ.

(Lh, K, * TA.) And قَدَرَ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ He scanted his household; or was niggardly or parsimonious towards them, in expenditure; like قَتَرَ. (S.) It is said in the Kur, [xxi. 87,] فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ And he thought that we would not straiten him: (Fr, AHeyth:) or the meaning is, لَنْ نُقَدِّرَ عَلَيْهِ مَا قَدَّرْنَا مِنْ كَوْنِهِ فِى بَطْنِ الحُوتِ, for نَقْدِر is syn. with نُقَدِّر; (Zj;) and this is correct; i. e., we would not decree against him what we decreed, of the straitness [that should befall him] in the belly of the fish: it cannot be from القُدْرَةُ [meaning power, or ability]; for he who thinks this is an unbeliever. (Az, TA.) b10: Also, قَدَرَهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. قَدَارَهٌ; (K;) and ↓ قدّرهُ; (TA;) He prepared it. (K, TA.) b11: And the former, He assigned, or appointed, a particular time for it. (K.)

But you say ↓ جَآءَ عَلَى قَدَرٍ, thus only, with fet-h [to the dál, as is shown by what precedes in the Msb,] as meaning [It came according to measure; i. e.,] it was conformable; it matched; it suited.

يُقَدِّرُهُ اللّٰهُ: (Msb:) [accord. to general usage, it differs from قَضَآءٌ; this latter signifying a general decree of God, as that every living being shall die; whereas ↓ قَدَرٌ signifies a particular decree of God, as that a certain man shall die at a particular time and place &c.; or particular predestination: thus القَضَآءُ وَالقَدَرُ may be rendered the general and particular decrees of God; or general and particular predestination or fate and destiny. The term قَدَرٌ is variously explained by different schools and sects: but its proper meaning seems to be that given above on the authority of Lth.] The pl. of ↓ قَدَرٌ is أَقْدَارٌ; (K, TA;) and of ↓ مَقَادِيرُ مِقْدَارٌ.

قِدْرٌ A cooking-pot; a vessel in which one cooks: (Msb:) [and it very often means the food contained therein; i. e. pottage of any kind: (see, for an ex., 3 in art. غلو:)] of the fem. gender (Msb, K, TA) without ة: (TA:) or it is made fem. (S, K) as well as masc., accord. to some: but he who asserts it to be made masc. is led into error by a saying of Th: AM observes, as to the saying of the Arabs, related by Th, مَا رَأَيْتُ قِدْرًا غَلَى أَسْرَعَ مِنْهَا [I have not seen a cooking-pot that has boiled quicker than it], قدر is not here meant to be made masc. but the meaning is, ما رأيت شَيْئًا غلى [I have not seen a thing that has boiled]; and similar to this is the saying in the Kur, [xxxiii. 52,] لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَآءُ, meaning, لا يحلّ لك شَىْءٌ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ: (TA:) the dim. is قُدَيْرٌ, without ة, contr. to analogy; (S, TA;) or قُدَيْرَةٌ, with ة, because قِدْرٌ is fem.; (Msb;) or both: (TA:) and the pl. is قُدُورٌ: (Msb, K:) it has no other pl. (TA.) [See a tropical ex. voce حامٍ.]

قَدَرٌ: see قَدْرٌ, throughout: (where its pl. is أَقْدَارٌ; K, * TA:) and قُدْرَةٌ: (in which sense also its pl. is as above; K.) b2: See also جَبْرٌ: and see مِقْدَارٌ. b3: Also, A time, or a place, of promise; an appointed time, or place; syn. مَوْعِدٌ. (TA.) [See Kur, xx. 42.]

(JK, Sgh, K.) And كَمْ قَدَرَةُ نَخْلِكَ [What is the fixed distance of thy palm-trees, one from another?] (K.) أُذُنٌ قَدْرَآءُ: see قَدْرٌ, last signification.

قُدُورٌ: see قُدْرَةٌ.

قَدِيرٌ: see قَادِرٌ.

A2: Flesh-meat cooked in a pot, with seeds to season it, such as pepper and cuminseeds and the like: (Lth, JK:) if without such seeds, it is called طَبِيخٌ: (Lth, TA:) or what is cooked in a قِدْر; (L, K:) as also ↓ قَادِرٌ: so in the K; but this seems to be a mistake, occasioned by a misunderstanding of the saying of Sgh [and others] that قَدِيرٌ is the same as قَادِرٌ: or perhaps the right reading of the passage in the K is وَالقَدِيرُ القَادِرُ وَمَا يُطْبَخُ فِى القِدْرِ; and it has been corrupted by copyists:) (TA:) [but this is improbable, as the passage, if thus, would be in part a repetition:] also cooked broth; (L;) and so ↓ مَقْدُورٌ.

A3: Possessing power, or ability; as also ↓ قَدِيرٌ, (K,) and ↓ مُقْتَدِرٌ: (TA:) or قَدِيرٌ has an intensive signification, and مُقْتَدِرٌ still more so: (IAth:) or ↓ قَدِيرٌ signifies he who does what he will, according to what wisdom requires, not more nor less; and therefore this epithet is applied to none but God; and مُقْتَدِرٌ signifies nearly the same, but is sometimes applied to a human being, and means one who applies himself, as to a task, to acquire power or ability. (El-Basáïr.) When you say اَللّٰهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ

قَدِيرٌ [God is able to do everything; is omnipotent;] you mean, to do everything that is possible. (Msb.) b2: بَيْنَ أَرْضِكَ وَأَرْضِ فُلَانٍ لَيْلَةٌ قَادِرَةٌ; (Yaakoob, S;) and بَيْنَنَا ليلية قادرة; (K;) Between thy land and the land of such a one is a gentle night's journey; (Yaakoob, S;) and between us is an easy night's journey, in which is no fatigue.

And بِعْتُهُ المَتَاعَ مُرَابَحَةً (S, * Msb) I sold him the commodity naming a certain gain, or profit, for every portion of the price: (Msb:) you say, بِعْتُهُ السِّلْعَةَ مُرَابَحَةً عَلَى كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ دَرَاهِمَ دِرْهَمٌ [I sold him the commodity on the condition of my receiving as gain, or profit, upon every ten dirhems, a dirhem]: (TA:) and اِشْتَرَيْتُهُ مِنْهُ مَرَابَحَةً I bought it of him in like manner: (Msb, TA:) the gain, or profit, must be named. (TA.) A2: See also 4.4 اربح فِى تِجَارَتِهِ He found a profitable market in [or for] his traffic. (Az, Msb.) A2: اربحهُ He gave him gain, or profit: (Mgh, Msb:) ↓ ربّحهُ we have not heard; (Mgh;) [i. e.] رَبَّحْتُهُ as meaning I gave him gain, or profit, has not been transmitted [from the Arabs of classical times]. (Msb.) You say, أَرْبَحْتُهُ عَلَى سِلْعَتِهِ, (S,) or عَلَيْهَا ↓ رَابَحْتُهُ, (A, K,) or both, (TA,) I gave him a gain, or profit, upon his commodity. (S, A, K, TA.) And اربحهُ بِمَتَاعِهِ [He made him to gain by his commodity]. (TA.) And اربح اللّٰهُ بَيْعَتَهُ [God made, or may God make, his sale to be productive of gain, or profit]. (S and K in art. رجع.)

(Ksh and Bd in explanation of the first in ii. 15.) [Hence,] ↓ البِرُّ خَيْرُ تِجَارَةٍ رَبَاحًا (tropical:) [Piety is the best traffic in respect of gain, or profit.] (A.) رَبَحٌ: see the next preceding paragraph. b2: Horses and camels that are brought from one place to another for sale.

يعِيشُ بِفَضْلِهِنَّ الحَىُّ سُمْرِ [as though meaning They entertained their guests with fat, on the superabundant remains of which the tribe lived, by means of tawny-coloured gaming-arrows whereby the lots that determined who should afford the entertainment were divided]: (S, * TA:) but [this is inconsistent with the affixed pronoun relating to ربحا, wherefore], in this case, as some say, (S, TA,) it means young weaned camels; (S, K, TA;) [as a quasi-pl. n.;] and its sing. is ↓ رَابِحٌ; (K;) like as that of حَرَسٌ is حَارِسٌ; and that of خَادِمٌ خَدَمٌ: (TA:) or a young weaned camel; [like رُبَحٌ;] and its pl. is رِبَاحٌ: (K:) or it means here the gain, or profit, obtained by means of the game called الَميْسِر. (S, TA.) b4: See also the next paragraph.

رُبَحٌ A young weaned camel; (S, K:) app. a dial. var. of رُبَعٌ. (S.) [See also رَبَحٌ and رُبَّاحٌ.]

b2: A lamb, or kid: (ISd, TA in art. نصح:) or the latter: (K;) as also ↓ رُبَّاحٌ. (IAar, K.) b3: See also رُبَّاحٌ, first sentence. b4: Also A certain bird, (S, K,) resembling the رَامِج [which is an owl employed for catching hawks]: or, accord. to Kr, the word is ↓ رَبَحٌ, and signifies a certain bird resembling the زَاغ[or rook]. (TA.) رَبَاحٌ: see رِبْحٌ in two places.

A2: Also A certain small animal, resembling the cat. (So in many copies of the S.) F observes that J says, الرَّبَاحُ دُوَيْبَّةٌ يُجْلَبُ مِنْهَا الكَافُورُ; and that بَلَدٌ has been substituted as an amendment for دويبّة in some of the copies [of the S]; but that each of these readings is erroneous: for يجلب we find [in copies of the S] in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà and that of Aboo-Sahl يُحْلَبُ, with the unpointed ح; and the substitution of بلد for دويبَة was made by IKtt: in the copies of the S, moreover, we find مِنْهُ instead of مِنْهَا: and IB says that the passage in J's original copy, in his own handwriting, runs thus: الرَّبَاحُ أَيْضًا دُوَيْبَّةٌ كَالسِّنَّورِ يُجْلَبُ مِنْهُ الكَافُورُ. (TA.) [But I find that, in five copies of the S, between السنّور and يجلب, occur the words وَالرَّبَاحُ أَيْضًا بَلَدٌ, or بَلْدَةٌ or اسْمُ بَلَدٍ: and I think it most probable that J intended to have introduced these or similar words, and therefore wrote مِنْهُ instead of مِنْهَا; meaning that رباح is the appellation of a certain small animal, resembling the cat: and that الرباح is also the name of a country or town from which camphor is brought: this country or town is said in a marginal note in a copy of the S to be in India.]

رُبَاحٌ: see رُبَّاحٌ.

رَبِيحٌ: see رَابِحٌ.

رَبَاحِىٌّ A certain kind of camphor: (K:) so called in relation to a certain country, or town, agreeably with what is [said to have been] asserted by J, or to a certain king named رَبَاحٌ, who applied his mind to this kind of camphor, and discovered it. (TA.) رُبَّاحٌ (A' Obeyd, S, A, L, K) and ↓ رُبَاحٌ, (A, TA,) the latter of the dial. of El-Yemen, (TA,) and ↓ رُبَحٌ, (L, TA,) The male ape; (S, A, L, K;) [simia caudata, clunibus nudis: (Forskål, "Descr. Animalium" &c., p. iii.:)] or the young one of an ape: (TA:) or apes [as a coll. gen. n.]: (TA in art. نصح, in explanation of the last, which is there said to be originally رُبَاحٌ:) pl. of the first رَبَابِيحُ. (TA.) One says أَمْلَحُ مِنْ رُبَّاحٍ and رُبَاحٍ, meaning [Prettier] than the ape. (A, TA.) b2: [Hence, app.,] رُبُّ رُبَّاحٍ (Lth, A, K) or رُبَاحٍ (A) A sort of dates (Lth, A, K) of ElBasrah. (Lth.) b3: Also, (K,) accord. to some, (TA,) رُبَّاحٌ signifies A small young weaned camel, (K,) and small young camels, syn. حَاشِيَةٌ, (TA,) slender in the bones and meagre in the body: (K:) but A Heyth asks, How can it mean small young weaned camels, seeing that a poet applies to it the epithet ثَنِىّ, and the ثنىّ is five years old? and Khidásh Ibn-Zuheyr, in a verse cited by Sh, speaks of a ربّاح breathing hard in labour, in order that her young one might come forth. (TA.) b4: See also رُبَحٌ.

مَتْجَرٌ رَابِحٌ and ↓ رَبِيحٌ (tropical:) Trafficking in which one makes gain, or profit; (TA;) and so تِجَارَةٌ رَابِحَةٌ; (T, S, A, * Msb, K;) [lucrative, or profitable, traffic;] a phrase like لَيْلٌ نَائِمٌ and سَاهِرٌ meaning "a night in which one sleeps" and "in which one is wakeful:" (Az, TA:) and بَيْعٌ

↓ مُرْبِحٌ a sale in which one makes gain, or profit. (TA.) And مَالٌ رَابِحٌ (assumed tropical:) Property having gain, or profit: رابح in this case being like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ: occurring in a trad.: but some read [رَائِحٌ, or, more probably, رَائِجٌ, from رَاجَ,] with ى [or rather ء]. (TA.) b2: See also رَبَحٌ.

مُرْبِحٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

(M.) [And ISd says,] I think that Sb has mentioned the phrase أَرَادَنِى بِهٰذَالِكَ, i. e. He intended, or meant, me by that. (M.) [اراد often signifies He intended, or meant, such a thing by a saying or an action.] فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْقَضَّ, in the Kur xviii. 78, means (tropical:) [And they found therein a wall] that was near, or about, to fall down, (Bd, Jel,) or that was ready to fall down; though الإِرَادَة is only from an animate being, and not properly predicable of a wall: and there are many similar instances; as the saying of a poet, يُرِيدُ الرُّمْحُ صَدْرَ أَبِى بَرَآءٍ

وَ يَعْدِلُ عَنْ رِمَآءِ بَنِى عُقَيْلِ [The spear is ready to pierce the breast of Aboo Barà, but it turns away from the bloods of the sons of 'Okeyl]. (M.) [In like manner also] one says, اراد البُكَآءَ (assumed tropical:) [He was about, or ready, to weep: a phrase of frequent occurrence; like تَهَيَّأَ لِلْبُكَآءِ, and هَمَّ بِالْبُكَآءِ]. (TA in art. جهش, &c.) b2: You say also, ارادهُ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ, (M,) or على الأَمْرِ, (A, Mgh,) He endeavoured to induce him, (M,) or he incited him, or made him, (A, Mgh,) to do the thing. (M, A, Mgh.) And ارادهُ عَلَى

أَنْ يَكْتُبَ He incited him, or made him, to write. (Mgh.) And ارادهُ إِلَى الكَلَامِ He constrained, or necessitated, him to speak. (M, * TA.) 5 تروّد He trembled, or quaked, by reason of extreme softness, or tenderness, and fatness. (KL.) 8 إِرْتَوَدَ see 1, in four places.10 إِسْتَرْوَدَ see 1, in five places. b2: استراد لِأَمْرِ اللّٰهِ occurs in a trad. as meaning He returned, and became gentle and submissive to the command of God. (TA.) رَادٌ: see رَائِدٌ, with which it is syn. (S, M, K.) رَادَةٌ [is its fem.: and] is a pl. of رَائِدٌ. (L.) b2: اِمْرَأَةٌ رَادَةٌ A woman who goes about to and from the tents, or houses, of her female neighbours; (Az, As, S, M, A, K;) as also رَادٌ (TA) and ↓ رَوَادٌ (S M) and ↓ رَؤُودٌ (Aboo-' Alee, M) and ↓ رُوَادَةٌ, like ثُمَامَة, and ↓ رَائِدَةٌ. (K.) You say اِمْرَأْةٌ رَأْدَةٌ غَيْرُ رَادَةٍ A soft, or tender, woman; not one that roves about: in which the former رادة may be without ء, and the latter must be so. (A and TA in art. رأد.) [See رُؤْدٌ; where it is stated that رَادٌ and رَادَةٌ and ↓ رُودَةٌ, as epithets applied to a girl or woman, are syn., one with another, meaning Soft, or tender, &c., like رَأْدٌ and رَأْدَةٌ and رُؤْدَةٌ.] b3: رِيحٌ رَادَةٌ A wind blowing violently to and fro: (TA:) [and ↓ رِيحٌ رَائِدَةٌ signifies the same; or wind in motion, or in a state of commotion.; or veering about: see 1.] [And] A wind blowing gently; (A;) and so ↓ رَوْدٌ and ↓ رَائِدَةٌ (K) and ↓ رَوَادٌ. (TA. [See also art. ريد.]) رَوْدٌ: see what next precedes.

رُودٌ Gentleness; or a leisurely manner of acting or proceeding. (S, M, A, K.) [And accord. to the TT, as from the M, so رُؤْدٌ; but this is a mistranscription, for رُؤْدٌ: see this last, in art. رأد.] You say, يَمْشِى عَلَى رُودٍ He walks, or goes, gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner. (S, A, K.) And its dim. is ↓ رُوَيْدٌ. (S, A, K. [But see what follows.]) They said ↓ رُوَيْدًا, meaning Gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner; (T, S, M, A, K;) with tenween: (T:) and ↓ اِمْشِ رُوَيْدًا Walk thou, or go thou, gently, &c.: (T, A:) so accord. to the lexicologists [in general]: but accord. to Sb, it is a verbal n.: [for] they said, زَيْدًا ↓ رُوَيْدَ, meaning Act thou gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner, towards, or with, Zeyd; or grant him a delay, or respite; let him alone, or leave him, for a while; syn. أَمْهِلْهُ: hence it has no dual nor pl. nor fem. form: and hence they say that it is for إِرْوَادًا, in the sense of أَرْوِدْ; as though it were an abbreviated dim., formed by the rejection of the augmentative letters: this is the opinion of Sb; for he holds it to be a substitute for أَرْوِدْ; though it has a nearer resemblance to إِرْوَادٌ because it is a noun: others hold it to be the dim. of رُودٌ, and cite the saying [of a poet], كَأَنَّهُ مِثْلُ مَنْ يَمْشِى عَلَى رُودِ [As though he were like him who walks, or goes, gently, &c.]: but this is a mistake; for رُودٌ is not put in the place of a verb, as إِرْوَادٌ is. (M.) Accord. to Ibn-Keysán, ↓ رُوَيْد seems to have two contr. significations; for they said, رُوَيْدَ زَيْدًا, meaning Leave thou Zeyd, or let him alone; and also meaning act thou gently towards, or with, Zeyd, and retain him, or withhold him. (TA.) One says also, عَمْرًا ↓ رُوَيْدَكَ, meaning Act thou gently, &c., towards, or with, 'Amr; syn. أَمْهِلْهُ: (T, * S, M, * K:) the ك in this case being a denotative of allocution, (T, S, M,) and having no place in the desinential syntax: (S, M: *) it is added only when رويد is used in the sense of an imperative; (T, S, K;) and to prevent confusion of him who is meant to be addressed with him who is not meant, because رويد applies to one and to more than one and to the male and to the female; though sometimes one says رويدك to a person when one does not fear his being confounded with another, using the ك as a corroborative. (T.) In this case, ↓ رويد is an abbreviated dim. of إِرْوَاد, the inf. n. of أَرْوَدَ. (S.) In like manner also one says, (K, TA,) to a male, (TA,) ↓ رُوَيْدَكَنِى [Act thou gently, &c., towards, or with, me]; and to a female, ↓ رُوَيْدَكِنِى; and ↓ رُوَيْدَكُمَانِى (K, TA) to two persons; (TA;) and ↓ رُوَيْدَكُمُونِى (K, TA) to males more than two; (TA;) and ↓ رُوَيْدَكُنَّنِى (K, TA) to females more than two. (TA.) ↓ رُوَيْد is used in four different manners: first, as a verbal n.; as in عَمْرًا ↓ رُوَيْدَ, (S, K, *) i. e. أَرْوِدْ عَمْرًا, (S,) meaning أَمْهِلْهُ [expl. above]: (S, K:) secondly, as an inf. n.; as in عَمْرٍو ↓ رُوَيْدَ [virtually meaning the same]; the former word being prefixed to the latter, governing it in the gen. case; (S, M, * K; *) like فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ, in the Kur [xlvii. 4], (S, M, *) in which the inf. n. is put for its verb; (Jel;) and like عَذِيرَ الحَىِّ [expl. in art. عذر]: (M:) thirdly, as an epithet; as in ↓ سَارُوا سَيْرًا رُوَيْدًا [They went, or journeyed, at a gentle, or leisurely, rate of going, or journeying]; (Sb, S, K;) and سَارُوا

↓ رُوَيْدًا, in which سَيْرًا is suppressed: (T:) fourthly, as a denotative of state; as in ↓ سَارَ القَوْمُ رُوَيْدًا [The people, or party, went, or journeyed, going, or journeying, gently, or leisurely]; it being here in connection with a determinate noun, and therefore a denotative of its state. (S, K.) When it is used as a threat, it is with nasb, without tenween; (Lth, T, M; *) as in the saying of a poet, تَصَاهَلْ بِالْعِرَاقِ جِيَادُنَا ↓ رُوَيْدَ كَأَنَّكَ بِالضَّحَّاكِ قَدْ قَامَ نَادِبُهْ [Act thou, or proceed thou, gently, lest our coursers neigh, one to another, in El-'Irák: it is as though thou wert with Ed-Dahhák, his summoner to battle having already risen]. (Lth, T.) Sb mentions his having heard the saying, وَاللّٰهِ مَا الشِّعْرَ ↓ لَوْ أَرَدْتَ الدَّرَاهِمَ لَأَعْطَيْتُكَ رُوَيْدَ [By God, hadst thou desired the money, I had given thee: let alone the poetry: ما being here redundant]: (T, M:) like the phrase, فَدَعِ الشِّعْرَ: (M:) and similar to this is the saying, الشِّعْرَ يَغِبَّ ↓ رُوَيْدَ [explained in art. غب]. (T.) رِيدٌ [originally رِوْدٌ] Will, wish, or desire; (K;) and so ↓ رِيدَةٌ [originally رِوْدَةٌ]: (M, L:) or the former signifies a thing that one wishes, or desires, and strives to obtain: (T in art. ريد:) and the latter, love, or liking, for a thing; and solicitude respecting it: (M, L:) or the latter signifies a kind, or manner, of wishing or desiring; as in the saying, أَرَدْتُهُ بِكُلِّ رِيدَةِ [I wished it, or desired it, with every kind, or manner, of wishing or desiring]. (M.) رُودَةٌ: see رَادٌ.

رِيدَةٌ: see رِيدٌ.

رَوَادٌ: see رَادٌ, in two places.

الرِّيَادُ, originally an inf. n., and ذَبُّ الرِّيَادِ, The wild bull; [a species of bovine antelope;] (M;) called ذبّ الرياد because he goes to and fro, not remaining in one place; (M in art. ذب;) or because he pastures going to and fro; (T and S * and M in that art.;) or because his females pasture with him, going to and fro. (T in that art.) Also, the latter, (tropical:) A man who comes and goes. (Kr, M and TA in art. ذب.) And (tropical:) A man who is in the habit of visiting women. (AA, T and K in that art.) رَؤُودٌ: see رَادٌ.

الرِّوَنْدُ الصِّينِىُّ, (K,) or الرِّيوَنْدُ الصِّينِىُّ, (L,) [mentioned in this art. though the ن should be regarded as radical, for] it is not genuine Arabic, (L,) [China-rhubarb;] a well-known medicine; (K;) a certain cool medicine, good for the liver: (L:) the physicians add an ا to it, (K,) saying رَاوَنْد: (TA:) there are four kinds thereof; the best of which is the صِينِىّ; and inferior to this is the خُرَاسَانِىّ, which is [commonly] known by the appellation of رَاوَنْدُ الدَّوَابِّ, used by the veterinarians: it is a black [app. a mistake for red, or yellow,] wood, of compound powers, but its predominant qualities are heat and dryness. (TA.) رُوَيْدٌ: see 4, first sentence: and see also رُودٌ throughout.

رُوَادَةٌ: see رَادٌ.

رُوَيْدَآءُ and رُوَيْدِيَةٌ or رُوَيْدِيَّةٌ: see 4, first sentence.

رَائِدٌ [act. part. n. of 1, Coming and going; moving to and fro; &c.]. [Hence,] اِمْرَأَةٌ رَائِدَةٌ: see رَادٌ. And دَوَابُّ رَوَائِدُ [pl. of دَابَّةٌ رَائِدَةٌ] Beasts pasturing at pleasure: (T:) or going to and for [in the place of pasture]: or pasturing together while the rest are debarred from the pasture, or tied. (M.) And رِيحٌ رَائِدَةٌ: see رَادٌ, last two sentences. And رَائِدُ الوِسَادِ [lit. Whose pillow moves to and fro; meaning] (tropical:) a man restless by reason of disease or anxiety; (A;) or uneasy on his pillow by reason of anxiety that disquiets him: (TA:) [or sleepless: see 1.] and رَائِدُ العَيْنِ The عُوَّار of the eye, [i. e. the mote, or the like, that has fallen into it, or the foul, thick, white matter that collects in its inner corner, and] that moves to and fro (يَرُودُ) therein. (S.) b2: The handle of the hand-mill, (S, M, A, K,) which the grinder grasps (S, M, A) when he turns round the mill-stone (S, A) therewith. (A.) b3: See also مِرْوَدٌ. b4: One who is sent (S, M, A, Mgh, L, K) before a people or party (Mgh) to seek for herbage (S, M, A, Mgh, L, K) and water (Mgh) and the places where rain has fallen; (L;) or one who looks for, and seeks, herbage, and a place in which to alight, and chooses the best thereof; (T;) and ↓ رَادٌ signifies the same; (S, M, K;) the latter occurring in the poetry of Hudheyl; (M;) [originally رَوَدٌ,] of the measure فَعَلٌ in the sense of the measure فَاعِلٌ, (S, K,) like فَرَطٌ in the sense of فَارِطٌ, (S,) or of the measure فَاعِلٌ deprived of its medial radical letter, or of the measure فَعِلٌ, [originally رَوِدٌ,] but if so, it is a kind of rel. n., not an act. part. n.: (M:) the pl. of the former is رُوَّادٌ (M, A, L) and رَادَةٌ. (L.) One says, الرَّائِدُ لَا يَكْذِبُ أَهْلَهُ, (T, Mgh,) or لَا يَكْذِبُ الرَّائِدُ أَهْلَهُ, (S,) [The seeker of herbage, &c., will not lie to his family,] for if he lie to them he perishes with them: (Ham p. 547:) a prov. applied to him who will not lie when he relates a thing. (M.) And hence the saying, الحُمَّى رَائِدُ المَوْتِ (tropical:) Fever is the messenger that precedes death; like the messenger that goes before a people, or party, to seek for herbage and water. (Mgh, TA.) Hence, likewise, رَائِدٌ is also applied to (tropical:) One who goes before with some abominable deed or design. (TA.) And to (assumed tropical:) A seeker of science or knowledge. (L, from a trad.) [Hence also,] أَنَا رَائِدُ حَاجَةٍ and ↓ مُرْتَادُهَا (tropical:) [I am the seeker of an object of want]: and أُنَاسٌ رُوَّادُ الحَاجَاتِ (tropical:) [Men who are the seekers of the objects of want]. (A.) b5: Also One who has no place in which to alight or abide. (T in art. ريد. and TA.) A2: [See also art. رأد.]

رَائِدَةٌ a subst. that is put in the place of اِرْتِيَادٌ [inf. n. of 8], and of إِرَادَةٌ [inf. n. of 4]. (T in art. ريد.) أَرْوَدُ Gentle, or quiet, and unnoticed in operation: so in the saying, الدَّهْرُ أَرْوَدُ غِيَرٍ [Time, or fortune, is gentle, or quiet, and unnoticed in operation; characterized by changing accidents]. (S, TA.) A2: ↓ أُرْيَدُ [More, and most, desirous], occurring in the prov., إِنْ كُنْتِ تُرِيدِينَ فَأَنَا لَكِ

أَرْيَدُ [If thou desire me, I am more desirous of thee], is said by Akh to be altered from أَرْوَدُ; and thus to be like أَحْيَلُ, in the phrase هُوَ أَحْيَلُ النَّاسِ, originally أَحْوَلُ. (MF.) أَرْيَدُ: see what next precedes.

مَرَادٌ A place where camels go to and fro in pasturing; (S, K;) as also ↓ مُسْتَرَادٌ. (K.) and مَرَادُ الرِّيحِ The place where the wind [blows to and fro, or] goes and comes.

(IDrd, in his “Book on the Saddle and Bridle.”) You say, دَارَ المُهْرُ وَ البَازِى فِى المِرْوَدِ [The colt, and the hawk, went round, attached to the مرود]. (A.) b5: A joint; syn. مَفْصِلٌ. (M.) b6: (assumed tropical:) A limit, or an extent, to which one runs: so in a trad. of 'Alee, in which it is said, إِنَّ لِبَنِى أُمَيَّةَ مِرْوَدًا يَجْرُونَ إِلَيْهِ [Verily there is a limit, or an extent, for the sons of Umeiyeh, to which they run]: from إِرْوَادٌ as signifying إِمْهَالٌ. (TA.) مُرِيدٌ as meaning A candidate for admission into a religious order, during his state of probation, is a conventional post-classical term. So too as meaning A devotee, whose sole endeavour is to comply with the will of God.]

مُرْتادُ حَاجَةٍ: see رَائِدٌ.

مُسْتَرَادٌ: see مَرَادٌ.

A2: [Also pass. part. n. of 10.] The sayings فُلَانٌ مُسْتَرَادٌ لِمِثْلِهِ and فُلَانَةُ مُسْتَرَادَةٌ لِمِثْلِهَا are expl. as meaning (tropical:) The like of such a man, and the like of such a woman, is sought after, and coveted, by reason of the high estimation in which he, and she, is held: and it is said that the meaning is, مستراد مثله and مثلها; the ل being redundant.
