(Es-Sháfi'ee, TA.) b2: It (a mine) had in it what is termed رِكَاز: (K:) or what is so termed was found in it. (IAar, TA.) 8 ارتكز It (a spear) became stuck, or fixed, in the ground.

(TA.) It is said in a trad., that the fifth part of what is termed رِكَازٌ is for the government-treasury: (S, * TA:) or, accord. to another relation, of what is termed ↓ رَكِيزٌ: as though it [the latter] were pl.

رهم

1 رُهِمَتِ الأَرْضُ The land was rained upon [with such rain as is termed رِهْمَة]. (Z, TA.) 4 ارهمت السَّمَآءُ, (JK, K,) or السَّحَابَةُ, (S,) The sky, or the cloud, shed the sort of rain, or rains, termed رِهْمة, or رِهَام. (JK, S, K.) رِهْمَةٌ A drizzling and lasting rain; i. e. a lasting, or continuous, rain, consisting of small drops: (JK:) or weak and lasting rain, (S, K,) said by Az to be such as falls with more force, and passes away more quickly, than that which is termed دِيمَةٌ: (S:) pl. رِهَمٌ and رِهَامٌ: (JK, S, K:) El-Ámidee seems to have held that رِهَامٌ is pl. of رَهَمَةٌ; for he likens these two words to إِكَامٌ and أَكَمَةٌ; but this is at variance with what is held by the leading lexicologists. (TA.) [See an ex. of the pl. رِهَامٌ in a verse of Lebeed cited in the first paragraph of art. رزق.]

أَرْضٌ رَهْمَآءُ Land upon which rains such as are termed رِهَام have fallen: (Ham p. 99:) and ↓ رَوْضَةٌ مَرْهُومَةٌ, [from رُهِمَت, Meadows] watered by the rain termed رِهْمَةٌ: (JK, S, K:) one should not say مُرْهَمَةٌ. (K.) رَهْمَانُ: see رَهُومٌ.

رَهَمَانٌ, in the going of camels, A bearing, and leaning, on one side, or sideways. (JK, * K. [In the former, it is implied that the word is رَهْمَان, which is at variance with an express statement in the K.]) رَهَامٌ (assumed tropical:) A sheep, or goat, [شَاةٌ,] lean, or ema ciated; (JK, K; [in the former written رُهَام, but said in the latter to be like سَحَابٌ;]) and so ↓ رَهُومٌ: (TA:) [i. e.] you say also شَاةٌ رَهُومٌ, (JK, K, TA,) meaning (assumed tropical:) a sheep, or goat, lean, or emaciated: (TA:) from [رَهُومٌ, or perhaps رَهَامٌ, or both, as meaning] clouds (سَحَابٌ) that have discharged their water. (JK.) رُهَامٌ, applied to a bird, That does not prey: (K:) or the bird called غُرْنُوق. (JK.) A2: Also A large number. (JK, K.) رَهُومٌ: see رَهَامٌ. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A man weak in seek ing, or searching, [to find what is best to be done;] who follows mere opinion; as also ↓ رَهْمَانُ. (JK, K.) أَرْهَمُ More [and most] fruitful, or plentiful, or abundant in herbage or in the goods or conveniences or comforts of life: [as though meaning more, and most, watered by rain such as is termed رِهْمَة:] so in the saying, نَزَلْنَا بِفُلَانٍ فَكُنَّا فِى أَرْهَمِ جَانِبَيْهِ [We alighted at the dwelling of such a one, and we were in the more fruitful, &c., of the two sides of his place of abode; meaning, and we were entertained by him in the best, or most bountiful, manner]. (S.) مَرْهَمٌ [A place upon which has fallen rain such as is termed رِهْمَةٌ: pl. مَرَاهِمُ: see an ex. in what follows. b2: Also] A certain application for wounds; (S;) a soft plaster or dressing, (K, TA,) the softest of medicaments, (TA,) [i. e. an unguent, or the like,] with which a wound is plastered, dressed, overspread, or anointed: (K, TA:) [pl. as above:] it is an arabicized word [from the Pers\. مَرْهَمْ]: (S:) or derived from الرِّهْمَةُ, [as some say,] because of its softness. (K.) You say, مَرَاهِمُ الغَوَادِى مَرَاهِمُ البَوَادِى [The places watered by the drizzling and lasting rains of the early morning-clouds are the soft plasters, or unguents, of the deserts]. (A, TA.) رَوْضَةٌ مَرْهُومَةٌ: see أَرْضٌ رَهْمَآءُ, above.

سرع

1 سَرُعَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. سِرَعٌ (S, Msb, K) and سَرَعٌ (TA [and mentioned in the K, but app. as a simple subst.,]) and سِرْعٌ and سَرْعٌ and سَرَاعَةٌ (TA) and سُرْعَةٌ, (K,) or this last is a simple subst. from أَسْرَعَ, (Msb,) [but it is also generally used as syn. with the inf. ns. before mentioned when they are employed as simple substs., and is more common than any of them,] He, or it, was quick, expeditious, hasty, speedy, rapid, swift, or fleet: [in course, tendency, action, speech, &c.:] (S, K:) or, said of a man, i. q. أَسْرَعَ [which may mean as above, or he hastened, made haste, or sped,] in his speech and in his actions: (IAar, TA:) but Sb makes a difference between سَرُعَ and أَسْرَعَ: see the latter below: (TA:) one says also سَرِعَ, aor. ـَ a dial. var. of سَرُعَ: and ↓ تسرّع, said of an affair, or event, signifies the same as سَرُعَ. (TA.) One says, السِّرَعَ السِّرَعَ like الوَحَآءَ الوَحَآءَ, (S, K,) i. e. [Make thou] haste; or haste to be first, or before, or beforehand: haste; or haste to be first, &c. (S and TA in art. وحى.) And سَرُعَ مَا فَعَلْتَ ذَاكَ, (S, * TA,) and سَرْعَ, which is a contraction of the former; for the Arabs contract by the suppression of dammeh and kesreh because they are difficult of pronunciation, saying فَخْذٌ for فَخِذٌ and عَضْدٌ for عَضْدٌ, but one should not say حَجْرٌ for حَجَرٌ, (S, TA,) or the like, accord. to the Basrees, though the Koofees allow the contraction in the case of fet-hah also, as in سَلْفَ for سَلَفَ; (M in art. سلف;) and one says also سُرْعَ, as a contraction of سَرُعَ; all meaning سَرْعَانَ [i. e. Quick was thy doing that: or how quick was thy doing that! or, which is nearly the same, excellently quick was thy doing that; for سَرُعَ is similar to قَضُوَ and رَمُوَ, denoting excellence]. (TA.) 2 سَرَّعَ see 4.3 مُسَارَعَةٌ signifies The hastening with another; or vying, or striving, with another, in hastening; or hastening to be, or get, before another or others; (S, K;) إِلَى شَىْءٍ to a thing; (S;) as also ↓ تَسَارُعٌ; syn. مُبَادَرَةٌ; (S, K;) with which, also, [not, however, as it is expl. above, but in the sense of بُدُورٌ, i. e. simply the hastening to a thing,] ↓ إِسْرَاعٌ is syn. (TA.) One says, سَارَعُوا

إِلَى كَذَا and إِلَيْهِ ↓ تسارعوا, [They hastened, one with another, &c., to such a thing,] both signifying the same. (S.) And [of a single person,] سارع إِلَى الشَّىْءِ He hastened to the thing; syn. بادر. (Msb.) And it is said in the Kur [iii. 127], وَسَارِعُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ [And vie ye, one with another, in hastening to obtain forgiveness from your Lord]. (TA.) And again, [iii. 170,] الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِى الكُفْرِ Who fall into unbelief hastily, or quickly, (Bd, Jel,) and eagerly. (Bd.) 4 اسرع is originally trans.; (S, K;) [signifying He quickened, or hastened, himself, or his going, &c.;] and hence the saying, in a trad., إِذَا مَرَّ

أَحَدُكُمْ بِطِرْبَالٍ مَائِلٍ فَلْيُسْرِعِ المَشْىَ [When any one of you passes by a high wall, or the like, that is inclining, let him quicken, or hasten, the pace, or going]. (K, * TA.) But [it is used also elliptically, as meaning He hastened, in an intrans. sense; he made haste; he sped; he went quickly; and hence] you say, اسرع فِى السَّيْرِ, (S, K,) like سَرُعَ [He was quick, expeditious, hasty, speedy, rapid, swift, or fleet, in going, journeying, or pace]: (K:) or [rather he hastened, made haste, or sped, therein; for] اسرع signifies he endeavoured, or sought, and affected, to be quick, &c., as though he hastened the pace, or going; but ↓ سَرُعَ denotes what is as it were an innate quality: (Sb:) the verb being originally trans., when you say of one اسرع فى السير it is as though [meaning] he urged himself forward with haste; or he quickened, or hastened, the pace, or going; and it is only because the meaning is understood by the persons addressing one another, that the objective complement is not expressed: (Lth, K:) or the verb may be trans. by means of a particle and without a particle: or when made immediately trans., the phrase may be meant to be understood as elliptical. (TA.) [Accord. to Fei,] اسرع فِى

مَشْيِهِ, &c., inf. n. إِسْرَاعٌ, is originally اسرع مَشْيَهُ [He quickened, or hastened, his pace, or going]; فى being redundant; or اسرع الحَرَكَةَ فِى مَشْيِهِ [he quickened, or hastened, the motion in his going]: and اسرع إِلَيْهِ means اسرع المُضِىَّ إِلَيْهِ [he quickened, or hastened, the going to him]. (Msb.) ↓ سرّع is syn. with اسرع. (TA.) And you say, إِلَى الشَّرِّ ↓ تسرّع, (S, K,) meaning He hastened, or made haste, to [do] evil, or mischief; (K;) as also تزرّع. (Sgh and K in art. زرع.) And ↓ تسرّع بِالأَمْرِ He hastened to do the thing, or affair; syn. بَادَرَ بِهِ. (TA.) See also 3. b2: اسرع إِلَيْهِ occurs in a trad. as meaning He was quick, or hasty, in being angry with him, or in blaming him, or in reviling him. (Mgh.) b3: اسرع بِهِ: see [its contr.] بَطَّأَ بِهِ. b4: أَسْرَعُوا signifies also, Their beasts on which they rode were, or became, quick, swift, or fleet. (Az, S, K.) A2: مَا أَسْرَعَ مَا صَنَعْتَ كَذَا [How quick was thy doing that!]. (S, K.) 5 تَسَرَّعَ see 1 and 4; the latter in two places.6 تَسَاْرَعَ see 3, in two places.

سَرْعٌ [originally an inf. n. of سَرُعَ, like سِرْعٌ and سَرَعٌ accord. to the TA]: see سَرِيعٌ, in two places.

سَرَعٌ: see [1 and] سُرْعَةٌ.

سَرِعٌ: see سَرِيعٌ.

سُرْعَةٌ Quickness, expedition, haste, speed, rapidity, swiftness, or fleetness; [of course, tendency, action, speech, &c.;] (S, K;) as also ↓ سَرَعٌ; (K;) [the former said in the K, and the latter in the TA, to be an inf. n. of سَرُعَ:] and a hastening, making haste, or speeding; i. q. إِسْرَاعٌ [inf. n. of 4]; (TA;) or a subst. therefrom. (Msb.) You say, عَجِبْتُ مِنْ سُرْعَةِ ذَاكَ [I wondered at the quickness, &c., of that]. (S.) سَرْعَانَ and سُرْعَانَ and سِرْعَانَ (S, K) and ↓ سَرُعَانَ, the last with damm to the ر (IAar,) occurring in the phrase سرعانَ ذَا خُرُوجًا, (IAar, S, K,) meaning سَرُعَ ذَا خُرُوجًا [Quick is this in coming forth: or how quick is this in coming forth! or, which is nearly the same, excellently quick &c.], (S, K,) are dial. vars., changed from the original form, which is سَرُعَ, and, for this reason, (S,) made indecl., with the final vowel of سَرُعَ for their termination. (S, K.) The word سرعان is used as a simple enunciative [placed before its inchoative], and also as an enunciative denoting wonder: [see بُطْآنَ:] and hence the saying, (K,) لَسَرْعَانَ مَا صَنَعْتَ كَذَا How quick was thy doing that! (S, K.) The saying سَرَعَانَ ذَا إِهَالَةٌ originated from the fact that a man had a lean ewe, her snivel running from her nostrils by reason of her leanness, and it being said to him “ What is this? ” he answered, “Her grease: ” whereupon the asker said as above: the last word is in the accus. case as a denotative of state; and the meaning is, Quick, or how quick, is this snivel [coming forth] in the state of melted grease! or the last word is a specificative, under the supposition that the action is transferred [from its proper agent, which thus becomes a specificative], as in the phrase تَصَبَّبَ زَيْدٌ عَرَقًا; and the meaning to be understood is, Quick, or how quick, is the melted grease of this! the saying is applied to him who tells of a thing's coming to pass before its time: (O, K:) it is a prov. (TA.) A2: سَرْعَانُ; and its fem., سَرْعَى: see سَرِيعٌ, in two places: see also the paragraph here next following, in two places, سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and ↓ سَرْعَانُ الناس, (IAar, K,) The first, or foremost, of the men, or people, (IAar, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) striving, one with another, to be the first to do a thing; (K;) so says As, with reference to soldiers hastening: (TA:) the former word in this phrase is [distinguished from سَرْعَانَ in being] declinable in every case: (S:) in two trads. in which the phrase occurs, we find it differently related, سَرَعَان and سُرْعَان; the latter being pl. of سَرِيعٌ. (TA.) سَرَعَانُ الخَيْلِ, also, signifies The first or foremost, of the horsemen, and sometimes they said الخيل ↓ سَرْعَانُ. (K.) Abu-l-'Abbás says that when سرعان is an epithet applied to men, it has both of the above-mentioned forms; but when applied to others, the former is the more chaste, though the latter is allowable. (TA.) سَرُعَانَ: see سَرْعَانَ.

سُرَاعٌ; and its fem., with ة: see what next follows, in three places.

سَرِيعٌ Quick, expeditious, hasty, speedy, rapid, swift, or fleet; [in course, tendency, action, speech, &c.;] (S, Msb, * TA;) as also ↓ سَرِعٌ [and ↓ سَرْعٌ] and ↓ سُرَاعٌ, of which the fem. is with ة, and ↓ سَرْعَانُ, of which the fem. is سَرْعَى; (TA;) i. q. ↓ مُسْرِعٌ, (K,) which signifies as above; (TA;) [and which also signifies hastening, making haste, or speeding;] and ↓ مِسْرَعٌ, also, signifies quick, &c., (سَرِيع,) to [do] good or evil: (K:) the pl. of سريع is سُرْعَانٌ, (K,) and سِرَاعٌ is [also a pl. of the same,] syn. with مُسْرِعُونَ. (Msb.) You say, فَرَسٌ سَرِيعٌ and ↓ سُرَاعٌ [A quick, swift, or fleet, horse]: (IB:) and ↓ حِجْرٌ سُرَاعَةٌ meaning سَرِيعَةٌ [a quick, swift, or fleet, mare]. (K.) and ↓ اِسْعَ عَلَى رِجْلِكَ السَّرْعَى [Go thou quickly; lit. go thou, or walk thou, or run thou, upon thy quick, or swift, leg]. (Fr.) And ↓ جَآءَ سَرْعًا meaning سَرِيعًا [He, or it, came quickly, hastily, speedily, &c.]. (TA.) And God is said [in the Kur ii. 198, &c.] to be سَرِيعُ الحِسَابِ [Quick in reckoning], meaning that his reckoning will inevitably come to pass; or that one reckoning will not divert Him from another reckoning, nor one thing from another thing; or that his actions are quick, none of them being later than He desireth, because it is done without manual operation and without effort, so that He will reckon with mankind, after raising them from death and congregating them, in the twinkling of an eye, without numbering, or calculating: (K:) and [in like manner He is said in the same, chap. vi., last verse, to be] سَرِيعُ العِقَابِ [quick in punishing]. (El-Mufradát, B.) b2: Also A certain kind of going, or pace; coupled with سُنْبُكٌ, which signifies another kind thereof.

(K.) أُزْمُولَةٌ (AA, S, K) and (S, K) some say (S) إِزْمَوْلَةٌ, (S, K,) the latter accord. to As and Sb and Ez-Zubeydee, (TA,) and ↓ إِزْمَوْلٌ, (S, TA,) which is said by IJ to be quasi-coordinate to جِرْدَحْلٌ, because the و in it is not a letter of prolongation, for the letter before it is with fet-h, (TA,) applied to a mountain-goat and to one of other animals, Vociferous: (AA, S, K, TA:) or the first, [or, app, any of the three,] applied to a mountain-goat, such as, when he runs, leans, or bears, on one side: so accord. to AHeyth: Fr explains the first or second as applied to a horse, meaning that runs swiftly: and in like manner to a mountain-goat. (TA.) مُزَمَّلَةٌ A certain thing in which water is cooled: of the dial. of El-'Irák: (K:) applied by the people of Baghdád to a green [jar such as is called] جَرَّة or خَابِيَة, in the middle whereof is a perforation, in which is fixed a tube of silver or lead, whence one drinks; so called because it is wrapped (تُزَمَّلُ i. e. تُلَفُّ) with a piece of cloth of coarse flax, or some other thing, between which and the jar is straw: it is in their houses in the days of summer: the water is cooled in the night by means of the [porous earthen bottles called]

And خَارَاللّٰهُ لَكَ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ [May God do good to thee, bless thee, prosper thee, or favour thee, in this affair: or] may God cause thee to have, or appoint to thee, good in this affair: (K:) or may God choose for thee the better thing [in this affair].

(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.

[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.

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.].

(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.

A3: خَيْرُ بَوَّآءُ [from the Persian خِيرْبُوَا Lesser cardamom;] a kind of small grain, resembling the قَاقُلَّة [or common cardamom], (K,) of sweet odour. (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. (Lh, K.) b4: Nature, or disposition. (A, K.) You say, هُوَ كَرِيمُ الخِيرِ He is generous in nature, or disposition.

(Lh, K.) خُورَةٌ [app. originally خُيْرَةٌ]: see خَيْرٌ, near the end of the paragraph; and see also art. خور.

خَيْرَةٌ fem. of خَيْرٌ [q. v.] used as an epithet: pl. خَيْرَاتٌ. (Akh, S, Msb.) b2: [Also, used as a subst., or as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant, A good thing, of any kind: a good quality; an excellency: and a good act or action: &c.: pl. as above:] see خَيْرٌ, in the former half of the paragraph.

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

صِفَةٌ اخْتِيَارِيَّةٌ [meaning A quality which originates from, or depends upon, the will, or choice, i. e. an acquired quality,] is opposed to خِلْقِيَّةٌ.

(El-Hareeree's Durrat el-Ghowwás, in De Sacy's Anthol. Gr. Ar. p. 49 of the Arabic text.) b3: See also خِيَارٌ.

خطف

1 خَطِفَهُ, aor. ـَ (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. خَطْفٌ; (S, TA;) this is the approved form of the verb; (T, S;) and خَطَفَهُ, aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. as above; (Msb;) a form of the verb mentioned by Akh, (S,) but this is rare, (S, K,) or (K) bad, (S, K,) scarcely, or not at all, known; (S;) and ↓ اختطفهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) and ↓ تخطّفهُ; (S Msb, TA;) He seized it; or took it, or carried it off, by force: (S, K:) or he did so quickly; snatched it away: (Mgh, Msb, TA:) and ↓ خطّف has been said to imply repetition of the action [unless it be a variation of اختطف as in a case mentioned below]; but this is strange, and not known on any other authority than that of the “ Akáneem et-Taaleem ” by El-Khuweiyee, a disciple of El-Fakhr Er-Rázee. (MF, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xxix. 67], وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ↓ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ CCC [And men are carried off by force from around them]. (TA.) b2: [And hence,] هٰذَا سَيْفٌ يَخْطَفُ الرَّأْسَ (tropical:) [This is a sword that will strike off the head]. (TA.) b3: And خَطِفَ البَصَرَ and خَطَفَهُ, said of lightning, (K,) and of a ray of light, and of a [glistening] sword, and of any polished body, (TA,) (tropical:) It took away the sight: (K, TA:) and ↓اُخْتُطِفَ بَصَرُهُ (tropical:) His sight was suddenly taken away. (M and K in art. ملس.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 19], يَكَادُ البَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ (tropical:) [The lightning almost taketh away their sight, lit. sights]: (TA:) Yoo read يَخْطِفُ ابصارهم; (S, TA;) and so did Aboo-Rejà and Mujáhid: and some read ↓يِخِطِّفُ, and ↓يَخَطِّفُ, originally يَخْتَطِفُ, accord. to the opinion of the Basrees, disputed by Fr, but confirmed by Zj. (TA.) b4: And خَطِفَ السَّمْعَ, (K,) aor. ـَ (S,) said of a devil, (tropical:) He stole [an opportunity of] hearing [the speech of the angels, from the confines of the lowest Heaven; or snatched it]; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓اختطفهُ: (K:) the two verbs being like نَزَعَهُ and اِنْتَزَعَهُ. (Sb, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xxxvii. 10], ↓إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الخَطْفَةَ (tropical:) Except him who steals the [opportunity of] hearing: (TA:) or who snatches unawares and by stealth, (Bd,) or hears and snatches, (Jel,) the speech of the angels: (Bd, Jel:) EL-Hasan read ↓ الّا من خَطَّفَ الخطفة, originally اخْتَطَفَ: (S, TA:) and another reading, ascribed to him and others, is ↓خِطِّفَ; but this is very weak. (TA.) b5: خَطِفَ, aor. ـَ and خَطَفَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. خَطَفَانٌ; (K;) thus in all the copies of the K, but correctly خَطْفٌ, as in the L; (TA;) said of a camel, (assumed tropical:) He went along quickly. (K, TA.) and مَرَّ يَخْطَفُ خَطْفًا مُنْكَرًا (assumed tropical:) He went along at a quick rate [such as was deemed strange, or disapproved]. (TA.) And خَطِفَتِ السَّفِينَةُ, and خَطَفَت, (assumed tropical:) The ship sailed, or voyaged: you say, خَطِفَتِ اليَوْمَ مِنْ عُمَانَ (assumed tropical:) She sailed,. or voyaged, to-day, from 'Omán. (TA.) 2 خَطَّفَ see 1, first sentence.4 اخطف بِالأَمْرِ He said, Seize thou this [thing], O man; or take it, or carry it off, by force; or snatch it away. (Sgh.) A2: أَخْطَفَ لِى مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ سَكَتَ, inf. n. إِخْطَافٌ, (assumed tropical:) He cut short somewhat of his discourse, or narrative, which he had begun to me, on some other thing's occurring to his mind, and was silent. (TA.) b2: أَخْطَفَتْهُ الحُمَّى, (Lh, O, TA,) or أَخْطَفَتْ عَنْهُ, (JK,) or b3: اِخْتَطَفَتْهُ, (K,) (assumed tropical:) The fever left him, or quitted him. (Lh, JK, O, K.) b4: اخطفهُ المَوْتُ (assumed tropical:) [Death missed him by a little;] he escaped death by a little. (JK.) And اخطف الرَّمِيَّةَ (assumed tropical:) He missed the animal at which he shot or cast, (JK, S, K,) nearly hitting it: (JK:) and in like manner, الشَّىْءَ the thing. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) And He captured, or caught, the animal at which he shot or cast; expl. by إِذَا كَانَ يَصِيدُهَا [perhaps a mistranscription for يُصِيبُهَا, and, if so, meaning he hit]. (JK.) And اخطف said of an arrow, (assumed tropical:) [It missed: or it fell upon the ground, and then glided along upon the ground to the butt, or object of aim: (see خَاطِفٌ:) and] it went straight. (TA.) b5: اخطف said of a man, (assumed tropical:) He became affected with a slight sickness, and then speedily recovered. (TA.) b6: أِخْطَافُ الحَشَا i. q. اِنْطِوَآؤُهُ [meaning (assumed tropical:) The state of being lean, or lank, in the belly: see مُخْطَفٌ]. (S, TA.) الأِخْطَافُ in horses is a fault: it is (assumed tropical:) The contr. of الاِنْتِفَاخُ: AHeyth says that it is, in horses, (assumed tropical:) smallness of the جَوْف [here meaning the belly, or abdomen]. (TA.) 5 تَخَطَّفَ see 1, in two places.6 تخاطفوا الكُرَةَ بَيْنَهُمْ [They contended together in snatching away the ball] with the goffsticks. (K * and TA in art. جحف.) 8 اختطف; and its variations خَطَّفَ and خِطِّفَ; and يِخِطِّفُ and يَخِطِّفُ, variations of its aor.: see 1, in seven places. b2: كَأَنَّهُ يَخْتَطِفُ فِى

مَشْيِهِ عُنُقَهُ, said of a swift camel, means As though he were straining, or stretching, (يَجْتَذِبُ,) in his going along, his neck. (S.) A2: See also 4.

(TA) خُطُفٌ: see what next precedes. b2: بِهِ خُطُفٌ (assumed tropical:) In him (namely, a man, JK) is madness, or diabolical possession; (JK, TA;) as also ↓ خُطَّفٌ: but this latter may be either a pl., like ضُرَّبٌ [pl. of ضَارِبٌ], or a sing. (TA.) خَطْفَةٌ A single act of seizing; or, of taking, or carrying off, by force: (TA:) or, of doing so quickly; of snatching away. (Mgh, Msb, TA.) Hence, [in a trad.,] accord. to one reading, نَهَى عَنْ كُلِّ ذِى خَطْفَةٍ, meaning He prohibited the prey of whatever snatches away the prey, and goes away with it, not withholding it for its owner: or, as some say, what snatches away with its talon, or claw: but the reading commonly known is, نَهَى عَنِ الخَطْفَةِ: (Mgh:) and الخَطْفَةُ signifies what the wolf, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) or the like, (Msb,) snatches away, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) of the limbs, or members, of a living sheep or goat, (Mgh, TA,) or of a living animal; (Msb;) or what the dog snatches away from the limbs, or members, of the animal of the chase, of flesh &c., while the animal is alive: (Mgh, TA:) or the limb, or member, which the beast or bird of prey seizes, or carries off by force, or which a man cuts off, from the beast that is alive: (K, TA:) for whatever is separated from the living animal, (Mgh, TA,) of flesh or fat, (TA,) is carrion, (Mgh, TA,) unlawful to be eaten: the prohibition originated from the Prophet's finding, when he came to El-Medeeneh, that the people loved and ate the humps of camels and the tails of sheep: (TA:) the reading الخَطَفَة, of the measure فَعَلَة, with fet-h to the medial radical letter, as pl. of خَاطِفٌ, is a mistake. (Mgh.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A single suck of a small quantity of milk quickly taken by a child from the breast. (TA.) b3: For its meaning in the Kur xxxvii. 10, see 1. b4: See also خُطْفٌ.

(L.) b2: The n. un., سَرْحَةٌ, is applied to signify (tropical:) A man's wife, (S, A,) by a metonymy. (S.) The Arabs are said by Az to term a woman, or wife, a سَرْحة growing over water, because in this case it is in the most beautiful condition. (TA.) b3: [Accord. to Forskål, (Flora Aegypt. Arab. pp. cvi. and 68,) the name of سرح is applied to a plant of the class pentandria, which he terms Cadaba farinosa, (described by him in p. 68,) growing in the lower region of the mountains of Wádee-Surdud, in Tihámeh.]
