(Msb.) [جَلَسَ مَعَهُ and جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ, like خَلَا معه and خلا اليه, signify the same; i. e. He sat with him: or the latter, he sat by him; like “ assedit ei. ”] An instance of the inf. n. مَجْلَسٌ is found in a trad., in which it is said, فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُمْ إِلَى المَجْلِسِ فَأَعْطُوا الطَّرِيقَ حَقَّهُ [But when ye come to sitting, perform ye the duties relating to the road]. (TA.) [The trad. commences thus: إِيَّاكُمْ وَالجُلُوسَ عَلَى الطُّرُقَاتِ Beware ye of sitting on the roads: and then, after the words before cited, (in which, however, in my copy of the Jámi' es-Sagheer, instead of المجلس, I find المَجَالِسِ, which is pl. of المَجْلِسُ,) it is added that the duties thus alluded to are the lowering of the eyes, the putting away or aside what is hurtful or annoying, the returning of salutations, the enjoining of that which is good, and the forbidding of that which is evil.] b2: جَلَسَتِ الرَّخَمَةُ (tropical:) The aquiline vulture lay upon its breast on the ground; syn. جَثَمَت: a saying applied to him who is of the seceders.

(S, O, K.) b3: And تعرقب لِخَصْمِهِ (assumed tropical:) He pursued a way hidden from his adversary: said when one adopts another and easier course of speech. (TA.) b4: And تعرقب عَنِ الأَمْرِ (assumed tropical:) He turned away, or declined, from the affair. (K.) b5: إِذَا مَطَلَ تَعَقْرَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ تَعَرْقَبَ (assumed tropical:) [When he puts off the fulfilment of his promise, he acts like 'Akrab (a man notorious for putting off the fulfilment of his promises); and when he promises, he acts like 'Orkoob] (A, TA) is a prov. (TA. [See the following paragraph, last sentence but one.]) عُرْقُوبٌ [The tendo Achillis, or heel-tendon;] a certain tense, (T, A, Mgh, Msb,) or thick, (K,) or thick and tense, (S, O,) tendon, (T, S, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) behind the two ankle-bones, (T, A, Mgh, Msb,) above the heel; (S, O, K;) the thing that conjoins the shank and the foot; (As, TA;) in a human being: (S, O, K:) pl. عَرَاقِيبُ. (TA, &c.) The saying of the Prophet, وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ مِنَ النَّارِ [Woe to the heel-tendons from the fire of Hell] means, to him who neglects the washing of them (Mgh, Msb) in the [ablution termed] وُضُوْء. (Msb.) b2: [In a beast, it is in some instances applied to The hock, or hough; i. e.] the عُرْقُوب of a beast is that which, in its hind leg, corresponds to the رَكْبَة [or knee] in its fore leg: (S, O, K:) [in other instances, it is applied to the tendon of the hock, or hough; i. e., to the hamstring; for, as] As says, in every quadruped, the عُرْقُوبَانِ are in the hind legs, and the رُكْبَتَانِ in the fore legs; (S, O, TA;) and the عُرْقُوب of the horse is the tendon that conjoins the part wherein meet the وَظِيف [here meaning the metatarsus] and the سَاق [here meaning the tibia]: (TA: [he says “ of the horse,” instead of using a more comprehensive term, app. because he is describing that animal:]) it is, in a quadruped, the tendon that [corresponds to that which in a human being] is behind the two ankle-bones, between the joint of the foot and the shank: in a human being it is a little above the heel. (TA, from an explanation of a trad. [This last explanation evidently employs terms according to their applications in the comparative anatomy of quadrupeds and human beings, and therefore requires the words which I have supplied. That عُرْقُوبٌ, in relation to a beast, signifies the hocktendon is well known: and that it also signifies the hock itself is shown by a usage of the verb عَرْقَبَ (for it is by raising the hocks that a man assists a camel to stand up), and by an explanation voce رُكْبَةٌ.]) شَرٌّ مَا أَجَآءَكَ إِلَى مُخَّةِ عُرْقُوبٍ [It is an evil thing that has compelled thee to have recourse to the marrow of a hock] (K, TA) is a prov. (TA) applied to him who seeks to obtain a thing from a mean, or sordid, person; (K, TA;) for the عرقوب has no marrow. (TA.) And one says, فُلَانٌ يَضْرِبُ العَرَاقِيبَ ويَقْرَعُ الظَّنَابِيبَ [Such a one smites the hock-tendons of camels to slaughter them, and strikes the shins of camels to make them lie down that he may mount them in haste]; meaning that he entertains guests and gives aid, or succour. (A.) b3: عُرْقُوبُ الأَسَدِ is a name of The Thirteenth Mansion of the Moon. (Kzw: see العَوَّآءُ, in art. عو.) b4: طَيْرُ عُرْقُوبٍ is an appellation given to Any bird from which one augurs evil to camels, because it wounds them in the hocks or hock-tendons (يُعَرْقِبُهَا). (Meyd, TA.) The Arabs say that when the bird called أَخْيَل [q. v.] lights upon a camel, its hocks, or hock-tendons, will assuredly be laid bare: and accord. to the [O and] K, طَيْرُ العَرَاقِيبِ is an appellation of The [bird called] شِقِرَّاق [which is said in the S &c. to be the same as the أَخْيَل]; and [Sgh and SM add that] they regard it as of evil omen. (TA.) b5: عُرْقُوبُ القَطَا means The سَاق [or shank] of the قطا [or sand-grouse]. (S, O, K.) To this a thing is hyperbolically likened to denote its shortness: one says يَوْمٌ أَقْصَرُ مِنْ عُرْقُوبِ القَطَا [A day shorter than the shank of the katà]: (L, TA:) and a poet says, (S, &c.,) namely, El-Find Ez-Zimmánee, (O, L, TA,) or, accord. to Seer, Imra-el- Keys Ibn-'Ábis, (IB, L, TA,) وَنَبْلِى وَفُقَاهَا كَعَرَاقِيبِ قَطًا طُحْلِ [And my arrows, with their notches, like the shanks of ash-coloured sand-grouse]. (S, O, L, TA.) b6: عُرْقُوبٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A turning, or bending, part of a valley: (K:) or a part of a valley in which is a great turning or bending. (S, O.) And A road in a mountain: (K:) or a narrow road in a mountain: or a road in a deep valley, in which only one can walk. (TA.) And [the pl.] عَرَاقِيبُ, (tropical:) The prominences, or projecting parts, of mountains: (O, K, TA:) and the most distant, or far-extending, roads, or ways, thereof: (Aboo-Kheyreh, O, TA:) for [in travelling mountains,] you follow the most easy way, wherever it be: (Aboo-Kheyreh, TA:) or the narrow roads or ways, in the hard and elevated parts, of moun-tains. (S, O, K.) And [hence, app.,] عَرَاقِيبُ الأُمُورِ (assumed tropical:) Great and difficult affairs: (S, O, K:) as also عَرَاقِيلُهَا. (S, O.) b7: And A mountain always crowned with clouds, not rained upon. (TA.) b8: Also (assumed tropical:) Artifice, craft, or cunning; or a stratagem, or trick. (O, K. [See Q. 1, last signification.]) b9: And (assumed tropical:) Knowledge (عِرْفَان) of an argument, a plea, an allegation, or a proof. (O, K.) A2: Also the name of a certain man of the Amalekites, (S, O, K, TA,) or, (so says Ibn-El-Kelbee, O,) of the Benoo-Abd-Shems-Ibn-Saad, (JM, O, TA,) but this is said to be of no authority, (O,) or of El-Ows, (JM, TA,) the greatest liar of his time, (K,) proverbial for breach of promises: (S, O:) El-Ashja'ee (whose name was Jubeyhà, O, K) says, وَعَدْتَ وَكَانَ الــخُلْفُ مِنْكَ سَجِيَّةً

مَوَاعِيدَ عُرْقُوبٍ أَخَاهُ بِيَتْرَبِ (S, O, K, TA) i. e. (tropical:) Thou promisedst, but breach of promise was an inherent quality of thee, like the promises of 'Orkoob to his brother in Yetreb; which is in El-Yemámeh; or, as some relate it, بِيَثْرِب, i. e. El-Medeeneh, or, as some say, the land of the Benoo-Saad; but the former is the more correct. (TA. [See also Har p. 160.]) And one says, هُوَ أَكْذَبُ مِنْ عُرْقُوبِ يَتْرَبَ (tropical:) [He is more mendacious than 'Orkoob of Yetreb]. (A, TA.)

(Msb.) In like manner also you say, عَزَّ عَلَىَّ كَذَا Such a thing distressed, or afflicted, me. (S.) And عَزَّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ

أَسُوْءَكَ It distressed, or afflicted, me to displease thee. (A.) And عَزَّ مَا أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ, like حَقَّ أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ [or حَقَّ مَا انّك ذاهب, meaning It is distressing that thou art going away]. (TA.) And one says to a man, Dost thou love me? and he replies, لَعَزَّ مَا, i. e., لَشَدَّ مَا, (A, O, K,) and لَحَقَّ مَا, (A, TA,) meaning It distresses me, what thou sayest; or it has distressed me. (TK.) You say also, بِمَا أَصَابَكَ ↓ أُعْزِزْتُ I was, or am, distressed by what befell, or hath befallen, thee. (S, O, K.) And عَلَىَّ بِمَا أُصِبْتَ بِهِ ↓ أَعْزِزْ That by which thou hast been afflicted distresses me: (S, O:) [or how doth it distress me!] so in a trad. of 'Alee; when he beheld Talhah slain, he said, عَلَىَّ ↓ أَعْزِزْ

أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْ أَرَاكَ مُجَدَّلًا تَحْتَ نُجُومِ السَّمَآءِ [It distresses me, or how doth it distress me! O Aboo-Mohammad, that I see thee prostrated upon the ground beneath the stars of heaven]. (TA.) [A similar ex. is given in the A; without بِ prefixed to أَنْ.]

A2: عَزَّ also signifies He was, or became, weak: thus having two contr. meanings. (Msb.)

22, some read عَزَّنِى; and others, ↓ عَازَّنِى: and you say, فَعَزَزْتُهُ ↓ عَازَّنِى, meaning, he strove with me to overcome, and I overcame him: and مُعَازَّةٌ signifies the contending together in argument: (TA:) you say also of a horse, فَارِسَهُ ↓ اعتزّ [he overcame his rider, or gained the mastery over him]. (S and K in art. جمع.) It is said in a prov., (S,) مَنْ عَزَّ بَزَّ He who overcomes takes the spoil. (S, A, O, K.) And in another prov., (S,) إِذَا عَزَّ أَخُوكَ فَهُنْ (Th, S, O, K) When thy brother overcomes thee, and thou art not equal to him (لَمْ تُقَاومْهُ) be thou gentle to him: (Az, O, K, TA:) or when thy brother magnifies and exalts himself against thee, abase thyself: (Th, TA:) or, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, what Th says is a mistake; the right reading being فَهِنْ, with kesr, and the meaning, when thy brother is hard, or severe, to thee, treat thou him with gentleness, or blandishment; not فَهُنْ, with damm, which is from الهَوَانُ: but ISd approves and justifies the reading given by Th. (TA.) [See also 10.]

(S, K, TA.) In the Kur [xxxvi. 13], some read, فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ; (S, TA;) and others, بثالث ↓ فَعَزَزْنَا; meaning And then we strengthened [them] by a third. (S, O, TA.) [See also an explanation of a verse cited voce عَزَآءٌ in art. عزى.]

And El-Farezdak says, إِنَّ الَّذِى سَمَكَ السَّمَآءَ بَنَى لَنَا وَأَطْوَلُ ↓ بَيْتًا دَعَائِمُهُ أَعَرُّ [Verily He who raised the heaven built for us a tent of which the props are strong and tall]: meaning, عَزِيرَةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ: like the phrase in the Kur [xxx. 26], وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ [meaning هَيِّنٌ]: not implying excess, accord. to ISd, because اَلْ and مِنْ supply each other's places [and one or the other of these, or a noun in the gen. case expressed or understood after the epithet, is necessary to denote excess: see أَكْبَرُ]. (TA.) b3: العَزِيزُ, as a name of God, signifies The Mighty, (TA,) who overcomes (O, TA) everything: (TA:) or He who resists, or withstands, so that nothing overcomes Him: (Zj, TA:) or The Incomparable, or Unparalleled. (TA.) b4: It also signifies The King; because he has the mastery over the people of his dominions: (O, K:) and especially the ruler of Misr together with Alexandria; (K, TA:) a surname; like النَّجَاشِىُّ applied to the King of the Abyssinians, and قَيْصَرٌ to the King of the Romans. (TA.) b5: وَإِنَّهُ لَكِتَابٌ عَزِيزٌ, [said of the Kur, in that book, xli. 41, means And verily it is a mighty book: meaning, inimitable: or] defended, or protected, (Bd, Jel,) from being rendered void and from being corrupted: (Bd:) or of great utility; unequalled. (Bd.) [الكِتَابُ العَزِيزُ The mighty book, is an appellation often given to the Kurn.] b6: عِزُّ عَزِيزٌ signifies Great might, or the like: or might, or the like, that is a cause of the same to a person. (TA.) b7: It is said in the Kur [v. 59], فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِى اللّٰهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى

المُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ, meaning, [God will bring a people whom He will love and who will love Him,] gentle to the believers, rough in manners, or behaviour, to the unbelievers: (TA:) or submissive to the believers, though they be [themselves] mighty, or noble, proud to the unbelievers, though they be [themselves] inferior to them in highness of rank and in grounds of pretension to respect. (Az, TA.) b8: [And one says, هُوَ العَزِيزُ

أَنْ يُضَامَ: expl. voce اَلْ (p. 75). And هُوَ عَزِيزُ النَّفْسِ: see صُلْبٌ. And اِمْرَأَةٌ عَزِيزَةٌ عَنْدَ نَفْسِهَا: see ظَلِفٌ. b9: عَزِيزٌ also signifies Severe, difficult, distressing, or grievous; (see an ex. voce عَنِتَ;) and so ↓ أَعَزُّ, fem. عَزَّآءُ:] you say, سَنَةٌ عَزَّآءُ A severe year: (S, O, K:) and مَنْ حَسُنَ مِنْهُ العَزَآءُ هَآنَتْ عَلَيْهِ العَزَّآءُ [He whose patient endurance of a loss is of a good description, what is difficult, or distressing, becomes easy to him]. (A.) A2: حَبُّ العَزِيزِ [The small tubercles that compose the root of the cyperus esculentus, which have a sweet and pleasant taste, and which women eat with the view of acquiring fatness thereby: and also that plant itself: both are thus called in the present day]. (TA voce سُقَّيْطٌ, &c.) عَزَازَةٌ A small water-course of a valley, shorter than a مِذْنَب [q. v.]. (AA, TA.) b2: See also مَعْزُوزَةٌ.

عَزِيزَةٌ [fem. of عَزِيزٌ, q. v. b2: Also] An eagle: so in a verse of Aboo-Kebeer El-Hudhalee: but as some relate that verse, it is عَزِيبَة, (K, TA,) i. e. “ that has gone far from the seeker: ” (TA:) or غَرِيبَة, (TA, and thus in the CK,) expl. by Skr as meaning “ black ” (سَوْدَآء) [as though for غِرْبِيبَة, fem. of غِربِيب: but the word سَوْدَآء immediately follows it in that verse]. (TA.) عُزَيْزَى and عُزَيْزَآءُ The extremity of the hip, or haunch, of a horse: (S, O, K, TA:) or the part between the root of the tail and the جَاعِرَة [q. v.]; (TA as from the K [in which I do not find it]): or the former, a sinew inserted in the rectum, extending to the hip, or haunch: (Aboo-Málik, TA:) dual of the former عُزَيْزَيَانِ, and of the latter عُزَيْزَاوَانِ. (S, O, TA.) عُزَّى: see أَعَزُّ, in four places: and عَزِيزٌ.

عَزَّآءُ [fem. of أَعَزُّ, q. v., last sentence: b2: and] i. q. مَعْزُوزَةٌ, q. v. (TA.) أَعَزُّ [More, and most, mighty, potent, powerful, or strong: &c.: see عَزِيزٌ, of which it is the comparative and superlative form: and see an ex. voce اَلْ (p. 75): and another in a verse cited in art. صب, conj. 6]. It is related in a trad. of Aboo-Bekr, that he said to 'Áïsheh, إِنَّ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ غَنًى أَنْتِ وَأَعَزُّهُمْ فَقْرًا أَنْتِ, meaning. Verily the one of mankind whose richness is most pleasing to me art thou; and the one of them whose poverty is most distressing to me art thou. (Mgh.) The fem. of أَعَزُّ [as a noun of excess] is ↓ عُزَّى: (S, ISd, O, K;) like as فُضْلَى is of أَفْضَلُ. (ISd.) [But see what follows.] b2: ↓ العُزَّى

was the name of A certain idol, (S, O, K,) belonging to Kureysh and Benoo-Kináneh: (S, O, TA:) or a certain gum-acacia-tree, (سَمُرَةٌ,) which the tribe of Ghatafán (S, O, K) the son of Saad the son of Keys-'Eilán (TA) used to worship; (S, O, K;) the first who took it as an object of worship was Dhálim the son of As' ad; above Dhát-'Irk, nine miles towards El-Bustán, (O, K, TA,) at [the valley called] En-Nakhleh Esh-Shámeeyeh, (O, TA,) near Mekkeh; or, as some say, at Et-Táïf: (TA:) he, (K,) Dhálim, (O,) or they, (S,) built over it a house, (S, O, K) and named it بُسّ, (O, K,) accord. to Ibn-El-Kelbee; or, accord. to others, بُسَّآء; (TA;) and they appointed to it ministers, (S, TA,) like those of the Kaabeh; (TA;) and they used to hear in it a voice: (O, K, TA:) but Mohammad sent to it Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed, (S, O, K,) in the year of the conquest [of Mekkeh], (O, TA,) and he demolished the house, (S, K,) and slew the [chief] minister, (TA,) and burned the gum-acacia-tree: (S, O, K:) or, as is related on the authority of I'Ab, a certain she-devil, who used to come to three gumacacia-trees (سَمُرَات) in Batn-Nakhleh, against whom Mohammad, when he conquered Mekkeh, sent Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed; and he cut down the trees, and slew her and her minister. (TA.) A poet says, أَمَا وَدِمَآءٍ مَائِرَاتٍ تَخَالُهَا عَلَى قُنَّةِ العُزَّى وَبِالنَّسْرِ عَنْدَمَا [Verily, or now surely, by bloods flowing, and running hither and thither, which thou wouldst think to be dragon's-blood, upon the mountain-top of El-' Ozzà, and by En-Nesr]. (S.) ISd says, I hold ↓ العُزَّى to be fem. of الأَعَزُّ; and if so, the ال in the former is not redundant, but is like the ال in الحَارِثُ and العَبَّاسُ: but properly it should be redundant, because we have not heard العُزَّى as an epithet [of excess] like as we have heard الصُّغْرَى and الكُبْرَى. (L, TA.) b3: ↓ عُزَّى is [however] used in the sense of عَزِيزَةٌ: (K, TA:) and أَعَزُّ [fem. عَزَّآءُ] is also syn. with عَزِيزٌ, which see in four places. (S, K.) المُعِزُّ, as a name of God, He who giveth عِزّ [or might, &c.] to whomsoever He will, of his servants. (TA.) مَعَزَّةٌ [accord. to analogy signifies A cause, or means, of عِزّ i. e. might, &c.]: see ظَفَارِ.

إِنَّكُمْ مُعَزَّزٌ بِكُمْ Verily ye are treated with hardness, severity, or rigour; not with indulgence. (S, O, TA.) From a trad. of Ibn-'Omar. (O, TA.) فُلَانٌ مِعْزَازٌ المَرَضِ Such a one is in a severe state of disease. (S, O, K.) مَعْزُوزَةٌ, applied to land, or ground, (أَرْضٌ, S, O,) Hard, or firm; syn. شَدِيدَةٌ. (S, O, K.) b2: And, so applied, Rained upon (O, K, TA) by rain such as is termed عِزّ, and rendered compact, or coherent, and hard; as also ↓ عَزَازَةٌ and ↓ عَزَّآءُ. (TA.) مُعْتَزٌّ is syn. with مُسْتَعِزٌّ. (TA.) You say, أَنَا مُعْتَزٌّ بِبَنِى فُلَانٍ and بِهِمْ ↓ مُسْتَعِزٌّ [I reckon myself strong by means of the sons of such a one]. (A.) b2: فَرَسٌ مُعْتَزَّةٌ A mare having thick and strong flesh. (TA.) مُسْتَعِزٌّ :see the next preceding paragraph.

1 شَفَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. شُفُوفٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and شَفِيفٌ (S, O, K) and شَفَفٌ, (CK, [but not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the TA,]) It (a garment, or piece of cloth,) was thin, fine, or delicate, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) so that what was behind it was visible, (S, * IB, Mgh, [ for خَلَقَهُ in some copies of the S, and خَلْفَــهُ in others, I read مَا خَلْفَــهُ, which is the right reading accord. to IB and the TA, agreeably with the reading in the Mgh, which is مَا وَرَآءَهُ,]) or so as to tell what was beneath it: (O, K:) [and it, (a gem, or the like,) was translucent: or was transparent. (See شَفَّافٌ.)] One says, شَفَّ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبُهُ His garment was thin, &c., upon him. (S.) b2: b3: And شَفَّ جِسْمُهُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. شُفُوفٌ, His body became lean, or emaciated. (S, O, K.) A2: شَفَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. شِفٌّ, It (a thing, O, Msb) exceeded; or was, or became, redundant. (S, O, Msb, K.) Hence, in a trad., شَفَّ نَحْوًا مِنْ دَانِقٍ It exceeded by about a دانق. (Sh, O.) And one says, شَفَّ عَلَيْه, aor. ـُ [so in the L and TA, contr. to rule, probably a mistranscription for يَشِفُّ,] inf. n. شُفُوفٌ; and ↓ شفّف, and ↓ استشفّ; [app. meaning, as seems to be indicated by the context, It exceeded it:] and شَفِفْتُ فِى السِّلْعَةِ [app. a mistranscription for شَفَفْتُ] I gained in, or upon, the the article of merchandise: (TA: [and so, app., ↓ شَفَّفْتُ: see شَفَّى:]) and فى تِجَارَتِهِ ↓ استشفّ [He obtained what is termed شِفٌّ in his traffic; i. e.] he made gain, or profit, in his traffic; syn. رَبِحَ. (S and K in art. ربح.) b2: And sometimes (Msb) it signifies also the contr.; i. e. It fell short; or was, or became, deficient. (Msb, K.) One says, (O, Msb,) of a dirhem, (O,) هٰذَا يَشِفُّ قَلِيلًا This falls short, or is deficient, a little. (O, Msb.) And شَفَّ عَنْهُ الثَّوْبُ, aor. ـِ The garment was too short for him. (TA.) A3: Also شَفَّ, (O, K,) aor. ـِ (O,) It (a thing, O) was, or became, in a state of motion, commotion, or agitation. (O, K.) A4: And شَفَّ لَكَ الشَّىْءُ i. q. دَامَ and ثَبَتَ [app. meaning The thing belonged, or pertained, to thee permanently, or constantly; or may the thing belong, &c.]. (TA.) A5: شَفَّهُ, (S, M, O, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. شَفٌّ (S, M, TA) and شُفُوفٌ, (M, TA,) It (anxiety) rendered him lean, or emaciated; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ شَفْشَفَهُ; (S;) both are also expl. as meaning it rendered him lean, or lank in the belly, so that he became slender: (TA:) or, accord. to the M, it (grief, and love,) pained his heart: or rendered him lean, or emaciated: or deprived him of his reason: and it is said of grief as meaning it manifested what he felt of impatience. (TA.) And شَفَّ النُّفُوسَ, as used in a verse of Towbeh Ibn-El- Homeiyir, It hurt and melted the souls. (Ham p. 594.) A6: See also 8, in two places.2 شَفَّّ see the preceding paragraph, in two places.4 أَشْفَفْتُهُمْ I preferred them, or judged them to excel. (K.) You say, أَشْفَفْتُ بَعْضَ وَلَدِى عَلَى

بَعْضٍ I preferred some of my children above some. (S. [And the like is said in the Mgh.]) And أَشْفَفْتُ هٰذَا عَلَى هٰذَا I preferred this above this. (Msb.) b2: And اشفّ فُلَانٌ الدِّرْهَمَ Such a one made the dirhem to exceed: or, made it to fall short. (TA.) A2: أَشَفَّ عَلَيْهِ [if not a mistranscription for أُشِفَّ, which I rather think it to be,] He excelled him, or surpassed him. (TA.) A3: أَشَفَّ الفَمُ The mouth had in it a fetid odour. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) 6 تَشَافَفْتُهُ I took away his or its, شِفّ, i. e. excess, or redundance. (O, K.) b2: See also the next paragraph, in three places.8 اشتفّ مَا فِى الإِنَآءِ (S, O, K) كُلَّهُ (K) He drank what was in the vessel, all of it, (S, O, K,) even the شُفَافَة [or last drop or remains], (O,) not leaving any of it remaining; (S;) [and so اِجْتَفَّ;] as also ↓ تشافّ: (S, O, K:) and ↓ استشفّ المَآءَ He drank the water to the uttermost, not leaving any of it remaining; as also ↓ شَفَّهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. شَفٌّ: and المَآءَ ↓ شَفَفْتُ I drank much of the water without having my thirst satisfied. (TA.) [Hence,] in the trad. of Umm-Zara, وَإِنْ شَرِبَ اشْتَفَّ [And if he drank, he drank up all that was in the vessel]. (S, O.) And it is said in a prov., ↓ لَيْسَ الرِّىُّ عَنِ التَّشَافِّ (S, O, TA) i. e. The satisfying of thirst is not from the drinking up all that is in the vessel; for it is sometimes effected by less than this: (O, TA:) it is applied in forbidding one's going to the utmost in an affair, and persevering therein. (S, * O, TA.) Accord. to IAar, one says also تَشَافَيْتُ المَآءَ I exhausted the water; which, ISd says, is originally ↓ تَشَافَفتُ. (TA.) b2: 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Sebreh El-Harashee uses the first of these verbs metaphorically in relation to death; saying, سَاقَيْتُهُ المَوْتَ حَتَّى اشْتَفَّ آخِرَهُ meaning (tropical:) [I vied with him in giving the draught of death] until he drank the last of it, i. e., the last of death.

[Thus the former signifies He saw through it: and it is used in this sense both properly and tropically.] b2: Hence the saying to the seller of cloths, اِسْتَشِفَّ هٰذَا الثَّوْبَ, [which may be rendered Look thou through this garment, or piece of cloth; but is expl. as] meaning make thou this garment, or piece of cloth, single, [by unfolding it,] and raise it, or hold it up, in shade, in order that I may see whether it be close in texture or flimsy. (TA.) b3: استشفّ also signifies [agreeably with the explanation of استشفّ مَا وَرَآءَهُ mentioned above] (assumed tropical:) He distinguished a thing plainly, like as one distinguishes plainly a thing behind glass. (Har p. 244.) b4: And one says, كَتَبْتُ كِتَابًا فَاسْتَشَفَّهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [I wrote a letter, or writing, &c., and] he examined attentively what was in it. (TA.) A2: See also 8.

A3: And see 1, in two places.

A4: [Freytag mentions as a signification of استشفّ “ Desiderio alicujus rei implevit; ”

with الى before the object: but he names no authority for this; and I doubt its correctness.] R. Q. 1 شَفْشَفَهُ: see 1, latter part. b2: Also, accord. to IAar, (O, TA,) inf. n. شَفْشَفَةٌ, (K, TA,) It (heat, and cold,) dried it up; namely, a thing, (O, K, TA,) such as herbage, (O, TA,) &c. (TA.) And accord. to AA, الشَّفْشَفَةُ signifies The hoar-frost's burning [meaning blasting] the herbage of the earth: or the burning of a medicament that is sprinkled upon a wound: (O:) or it has the former of these two meanings, and signifies also the sprinkling of a medicament upon a wound. (K. [But I think that, for وَذَرُّ الدَّوَآءِ in the K, we should read وَذَرِّ الدَّوَآءِ, and thus reconcile the K in this case with the O: see, however, what next follows; which may be regarded either as confirming the reading in the K, or as having misled its author, in this instance.]) A2: الشَّفْشَفَةُ signifies also The sprinkling of urine and the like. (K.) You say, شَفْشَفَ بِبَوْلِهِ He sprinkled his urine. (O.) A3: Also The trembling, and the being confused (الاِخْتِلَاطُ), (O, K, TA,) resulting from intense jealousy. (TA. [See مُشَفْشَفٌ.]) b2: And شَفْشَفَ عَلَيْهِ He was solicitously affectionate, or pitiful or compassionate, towards him, (TA.) [See, again, مُشَفْشَفٌ.]) R.

(Msb:) [see also شَفَّافٌ:] and the garment, or piece of cloth, itself, is termed شَفٌّ and ↓ شِفٌّ: (Har p. 70:) [i. e. each of these words is also used as a subst.; and this is perhaps meant in the O and K: or] شَفٌّ signifies also a certain thin, fine, or delicate, veil or covering: or, accord. to Aboo-Nasr, a certain thin, fine, or delicate, veil or covering, of wool, through which one sees what is behind it: (S:) pl. شُفُوفٌ. (O, Msb, K.) Among the verses of “ the Book ” [of Sb, cited as exs. therein], is the following: لَلْبْسُ عَبَآءَةٍ وَتَقَرُّ عَيْنِى

أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ لُبْسِ الشُّفُوفِ [Verily the wearing of a woollen cloak, my eye being therewithal unheated by tears, is more pleasing to me than the wearing of thin, fine, or delicate, garments]. (O.) A2: See also شِفٌّ.

A3: شفّ [app. شَفٌّ] also signifies Pimples, or small pustules, that come forth and then go away. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) شِفٌّ: see شَفٌّ, in three places.

A2: Also, (S, Mgh, O, K,) and ↓ شَفٌّ, (L, K,) but the former is that which is well known, (L, TA,) and ↓ شَفِيفٌ, (TA,) Gain, or profit; increase obtained in traffic: and excess, surplus, or redundance: syn. رِبْحٌ [q. v.] : and فَضْلٌ; (S, Mgh, O, K;) and زِيَادَةٌ.

Hence (Mgh) نَهَى عَنْ شِفِّ مَا لَم يُضْمَنْ, meaning [He (the Prophet, TA) forbade] the رِبْح [i. e. gain, or profit, of that for which one has not made himself responsible to the purchaser]. (O, Mgh.) And one says, لِهٰذَا عَلَى هٰذَا شِفّق [There is, or pertains, to this, an excess above this]. (Ksh in ii. 15.) And قَالَ قَوْلًا شِفًّا He said a saying that was a redundance. (TA.) b2: And A deficiency: thus having two contr. meanings. (ISk and S and O in explanation of the first word, K in explanation of the first and second words, and TA in explanation of all.) b3: Also, the first word, i. q. مَهْنَأٌ: one says to a person when regarding him with a wish for the like of a thing that he has attained, or that he possesses, without desiring that it should pass away from him, شِفٌّ لَكَ يَا فُلَانُ [May it be an unalloyed gratification to thee, O such a one].

صف

1 صَفَّ, (S, M, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb, TA,) inf. n. صَفٌّ, (O, Msb, K, TA,) He set, or placed, or stationed, (S, M, Mgh, O, K,) a company of men, (S, M, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) in war (S, O, K) &c., (O, K,) and a military force, (TA,) and also [in a similar sense] a thing, (Msb,) in a rank, or row, or line: (S, M, Mgh, O, K:) and likewise ↓ صفّف, (TA,) inf. n. تَصْفِيفٌ; (IDrd, O, K, TA;) but this has an intensive signification. (IDrd, O, TA.) b2: One says also of a she-camel, تَصُفُّ يَدَيْهَا عِنْدَ الحَلَبِ [She sets her fore legs evenly, side by side, not putting one of them in advance of the other, as if about to go onward, on the occasion of being milked]. (S, M, O, K.) [See also صَفَنَ, said of a man: and see صَانَ in art. صون.]) And [in like manner] one says, صَفَّتِ الإِبِلُ قَوَائِمَهَا [The camels set their legs in an even row]. (S, O.) b3: And of a she-camel one says also, تَصُفُّ أَقْدَاحًا مِنْ لَبَنِهَا إِذَا حُلِبَتْ [as though meaning She yields a row of bowls of her milk when she is milked], because of the abundance of her milk. (S, O, K *.) And تَصُفُّ بَيْنَ مِحْلَبَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ, (S, O,) or simply تَصُفُّ, (M,) She combines two milking-vessels, or three, at one milking; (S, * M, O; *) الصَّفُّ meaning her being milked into two milking-vessels, or three, (S, O, K,) so as to combine them. (S, O. [In the CK, أَنْ تَحْلُبَ is a mistake for أَنْ تُحْلَبَ.]) And a rájiz, cited by Az, says, referring to a she-camel, تَصُفُّ فِى ثَلَاثَةِ المَحَالِبِ [She is milked into three milking-vessels at one milking]. (S, O.) One says also صَفَّهَا, i. e. حَلَبَهَا صَفًّا [app. meaning He milked her into two bowls, or three, at one milking; or into two bowls; the pronoun referring to a she-camel]. (M. [One or the other of these two meanings appears to be indicated by what there precedes this.]) b4: صُفَّ عَلَى الجَمْرِ لِيَنْشَوِىَ (S, K) is said of flesh-meat (S) [app. meaning It was laid, cut into a strip, or into strips, upon the live coals to broil]; and فِى الشَّمْسِ لِيَجِفَّ [in like manner, in the sun to dry]: (K:) for one says of him who has prepared flesh-meat cut into strips, or oblong pieces, and dried in the sun, صَفَّ اللَّحْمَ; and [in like manner] one says also, صَفَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ لِيَنْشَوِىَ: (Msb:) or صَفَّ اللَّحْمَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. صَفُّ, means he cut the flesh-meat into broad slices: (M:) and accord. to ISh, ↓ التَّصْفِيفُ is like التَّشْرِيحُ, i. e. the cutting a piece of flesh-meat thin, so that it is translucent: (TA in the present art:) or التصفيف is a kind of تَشْرِيح; i. e. the cutting a piece of flesh-meat thin, so that it is translucent by reason of its thinness, and then throwing it upon the live coals. (TA in art. شرح.) [See صَفِيفٌ.]

A2: See also 8, in three places. b2: صَفَّ said of a bird, (M, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (M, Msb,) inf. n. صَفٌّ, (Msb, K,) It extended its wings in a line, (M,) or it expanded its wings, (O, Msb, K,) in the sky, and did not move them, (M,) or and struck [an evident mistake for and did not strike] with them its sides like the pigeon: (Msb:) such as do so are not to be eaten; (Msb, K;) as the vulture and the hawk: (Msb:) it is said in a trad., يُؤْكَلُ مَا دَفَّ وَلَا يُؤْكَلُ مَا صَفَّ. (O, K, TA. See art. دف.) A3: صَفَفْتُ لِلسَّرْجِ, (S,) or صَفَفْتُ لِلسَّرْجِ صُفَّةً, (O,) or صَفَفْتُ السَّرْجَ, (K, and so in one place in the O,) and ↓ أَصْفَفْتُهُ, (O, K,) but this latter verb is of weak authority, (O,) (tropical:) I put to the horse's saddle a صُفَّة [q. v.]: S, O, K, TA:) [and] صَفَّ الدَّابَّةَ, and صَفَّ لَهَا, He made for the beast a صُفَّة.

See هُوَ مُصَافِّى, below.]4 أَصْفَ3َ see 1, last sentence.6 تَصَاْفَّ see 8. b2: One says also تصافّوا عَلَيْهِ They collected themselves together in a rank, or row, or line, against him. (M, TA.) And تصافّوا عَلَى المَآءِ They collected themselves together at the water; as also تضافّوا عَلَيْهِ: like as one says تصوّك فِى

خُرْئِهِ and تضوّك, and صَلَاصِلُ المَآءِ and ضَلَاضِلُهُ. (Lh, TA.) 8 اصطفّوا They stood in, (S, Mgh, O, K,) or became, (M,) [or set, placed, or stationed, themselves in,] a rank, or row, or line; (S, M, Mgh, Msb; *) or ranks, or rows, or lines; (O, K;) as also ↓ تصافّوا; (M, O, * K; * [التَّصَافُّ being expl. in the O and K by التَّسَاطُرُ; in the CK, erroneously, التَّشاطُرُ;]) and so ↓ صَفُّوا, (M, Mgh, Msb,) aor. ـُ (M, Mgh,) inf. n. صَفٌّ and صَفَّى, but [ISd says] this latter inf. n. I have not heard except in a phrase mentioned in what follows. (M.) Hence the saying,تَصُفُّ ↓ النِّسَآءُ خَلْفَ الرِّجَالِ وَلَا تَصُفُّ مَعَهُمْ [The women shall stand in a rank behind the men in the mosque, and shall not stand in a rank with them]. (Mgh.) And hence the saying of a woman of the desert to her sons, ↓ إِذَا لَقِيتُمُ العَدُوَّ فَدَغَرَى وَلَا صَفَّى i. e. [When ye meet the enemy, rush upon them without consideration, and] do not set yourselves in a rank. (M. [See also 1, in art. دغر.]) R. Q. 1 صَفْصَفَ He journeyed, (سَارَ, O, and so in copies of the K,) or became, (صَارَ, so in the CK,) alone in a صَفْصَف, or level tract of land. (O, K.)

A3: And صَفْصَفَةٌ [as an inf. n., or as a simple subst.,] signifies The crying or cry, (صَوْت,) of the sparrow, which is called صُفْصُف (O, K) in some one or more of the dialects. (O.) صَفٌّ A rank, row, or line [of things]; (KL, PS;) or an even صَدْر [i. e. front, or fore part,] of any things: (M:) and a company of men standing in a rank, or row, or line: (O, K:) pl. صُفُوفٌ; (S, M, O, Msb, K;) and the sing. may also be used in the sense of the pl.; it may be used either thus in the sense of the pl. or as a sing. in the Kur xviii. 46. (O.) Hence, in a trad., سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ [Make even your ranks] in prayer. (O, TA.) b2: Also A station of صُفُوف [or ranks of men]. (M. [See also مَصَفٌّ.]) and hence, (M,) as used in the Kur xx. 67, i. q. مُصَلًّى

A place of prayer, or a place of prayer on the occasion of the عِيد, or festival]; (Az, M, O;) because the people stand there in ranks: (M:) i. e. a place where people assemble for their عِيد: (Az, O:) or, in that instance, صَفًّا may mean مُصْطَفِّينَ [i. e. standing in ranks], (Az, M, O,) as a denotative of state. (M.) b3: And A pair of bowls (قَدَحَانِ) [app., as seems to be indicated, that are filled at one milking of a camel]; because they are put together. (M.) A2: Also A certain medicament with which the teeth are whitened. (O.) صُفَّةٌ An appertenance of a house, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, [in none of which is it explained,]) or of a building, like a wide بَهُو [here used in a postclassical sense, as meaning a kind of vestibule, or portico, for shade and shelter, open in front], with a long roof or ceiling; (Lth, TA;) the طُرَّة of a building [app. meaning what is above described]; (M;) i. q. سَقِيفَةٌ: (S and Msb and K in art. سقف:) [see سَفِيفَةٌ; and see also سُدَّةٌ:] and i. q. ظُلَّةٌ [i. e. a roof, or covering, for shade and shelter, over the door of a house; or extending from a house to another house opposite; like سُدَّةٌ and سَقِيفَةٌ]: (M:) [for the meaning assigned to it by Golius as from the S, and by Freytag as from the K and S, (“ scamnum discubitorium, fere ex lapidibus structum,”) I find no authority in any Arabic work: in Egypt, it is applied to a shelf of marble or of common stone, about four feet high, supported by two or more arches, or by a single arch, figured and described in the Introduction to my work on the Modern Egyptians; this being app. so called because resembling in form, though not in size, a porch:] the pl. is صُفَفٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and صِفَافٌ and صُفَّاتٌ.

(TA voce أَوْفَاضٌ.) [ISd says,] عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الصُّفَّةِ [The punishment of the day of the صُفَّة] is the same as عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ [mentioned in the Kur 26:189]: (M, TA:) Lth says that the former was a day on which a certain people disobeyed their apostle, wherefore God sent upon them heat and clouds which overspread them, so that they perished: and Az says that it is not the same as that mentioned in the Kur, and that he knew not what is meant by عذاب يوم الصفّة: (O, (TA:) it seems, however, that both mean the same, as الصُّفَّةُ and الظُّلَّةُ are one in meaning. (TA.) b2: Also (tropical:) An appertenance of the سَرْج [or horse's saddle]; (S, M, IAth, Mgh, O, K, TA;) like the مِيثَرَة [q. v. in art. وثر] of the رَحْل [or camel's saddle]; (IAth, L, TA; *) the thing with which it is covered, between the قَرَبُوسَانِ, which are its fore part and its hinder part: (Mgh:) or, (M, TA,) as also of the رَحْل, (M,) the thing that comprises within it (تَضُمُّ) the [two pieces of wood called the] عَرْقُوَتَانِ and the [two pads, or stuffed things, called the] بِدَادَانِ, above them and beneath them: (M, TA:) pl. صُفَفٌ (S, M, O, K) and صِفَافٌ, the latter mentioned by Sb.

(O, TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) The quantity of grain that is put upon the palm of the hand: occurring in a trad. of Abu-d-Dardà, in the saying, أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أَمْلكُ صُفَّةً وَلَا لُفَّةً [I became so that I possessed not the quantity of grain that might be put on the palm of the hand, nor a morsel of food]; اللُّفَّةُ meaning اللُّقْمَةُ. (TA.) صَفَفٌ A thing that a man wears beneath the coat of mail (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K) in the day of battle.

(M.) الصُّفِّيَّةُ The صُوفِيَّة: so called in relation to those called أَهْلُ الصُّفَّةِ. (TA.
