1 حَدَا الإِبِلَ, (S, Mgh,) or حَدَ بِالإِبِلِ, (Msb,) or both, (K) and حُدَآءٌ (S, K) and حِدَآءٌ, (K,) He drove the camels; (S, Mgh, K;) and chid them: (K:) [and ↓ احتداها app. has the former signification:] and he sang to them: (S:) or he urged, or excited, the camels by singing to them, which is termed ↓ حُدَآءٌ: (Msb:) or حَدَا لَهَا signifies he sang to them. (Mgh.) The Arabs in driving their camels used commonly to sing verses of the kind termed رَجَز. (TA in art. رجز.) [It is said that] ↓ حُدَآءٌ originated from the fact of a DesertArab's beating his young man, or boy, and biting his fingers; whereupon he went along saying دَىْ دَىْ, meaning يَا يَدَىَّ [“ O my two hands! ”]; and the camels went on at his cry; therefore his master bade him keep to it: (K in art. دى:) so says IAar. (TA in that art. [Other (similar) accounts of its origin are mentioned by MF in remarking on this passage of the K.]) حَدَا signifies also He raised his voice with [the singing termed] الحُدَآء. (Har p. 576.) [And He breathed short (anhelavit), and sent forth a voice or sound. (Golius, from a gloss in the KL.)] b2: You say also of the north wind, تَحْدُو السَّحَابَ, i. e. (assumed tropical:) It drives along the clouds. (S.) b3: And حَدَاهُ عَلَى

كَذَا (assumed tropical:) He urged him, incited him, or put him in motion or action, to do such a thing. (Msb, TA.) b4: And حَدَاهُ (assumed tropical:) It followed it; namely, the night the day; (K;) as also ↓ احتداهُ: (AHn, K:) and so the [wild] he-ass his she-asses; and anything any other thing. (TA.) Hence the saying, لَا

أَفْعَلُهُ مَا حَدَا اللَّيْلُ النَّهَارَ (assumed tropical:) I will not do it as long as the night follows the day]. (TA.) b5: See also 5.4 أَحْدَوَ see 5.5 تحدّاهُ, in its primary sense, is form الحُدَآءُ, and signifies He (a driver of camels) vied, competed, or contended for superiority, with him, or emulated him, (namely, another driver,) in driving camels, or urging them by singing to them; each of them desiring to elicit the ability of the other in doing so. (Z, TA.) b2: [And hence,] He vied, or competed, and contended for superiority, with him, (S, K, * mentioned in the K in art. حدى,) in an action or a work [of any kind]. (S.) You say, تَحَدَّيْتُ النَّاسَ القُرْآنَ I sought to elicit the ability of the people in order that it might be known which of us was most skilled in reading or reciting [the Kur-án]: it means like as does the saying of a person contending with others for the superior glory of his people, “Bring ye a people like my people, or like one of them. ” (Msb.) It is said of Mohammad, in a trad., تَحَدَّى العَرَبَ بِالقُرْآنِ [He vied, or contended, with the Arabs by means of the Kur-án]. (TA.) And one says, تَحَدَّى صَاحِبَهُ القِرَآءَةَ, and الصِّرَاعَ, [He vied, or contended, with his companion in reading, or reciting, and in wrestling,] in order that it might be seen which of them was the superior reader or reciter, and the superior wrestler. (TA.) b3: Also He aimed at it; made it his object; sought, endeavoured after, pursued, or endeavoured to reach or attain or obtain, it; intended or purposed it; (AA, and K * and TA in art. حدى;) as also ↓ حَدَاهُ, (AA, TA,) and ↓ احداهُ. (Sgh, and K ib.) Hence the saying of Mujáhid, كُنْتُ أَتَحَدَّى القُرْآنَ فَأَقْرَأُ [I used to aim at reading, or reciting, the Kur-án, and so to read, or recite]. (AA, TA.) 6 تَحَادَتِ الإِبِلُ The camels urged on one another. (K.) 8 إِحْتَدَوَ see 1, in two places.

لَا أَفْعَلُهُ حَدَا الدَّهْرِ I will not do it ever; (K;) as long as the night follows the day. (TA. [See 1.]) حَدْوَآءُ The north wind; (S, K;) because it drives along the clouds: the masc. form, أَحْدَى, is not used. (S.) حُدَآءٌ: see 1, in two places.

[There mentioned in art. حدى; but belonging to the present art., (see 5,) like as حُجَيَّا belongs to art. حجو.]) A2: [One who vies, or competes, and contends for superiority.] You say, أَنَا حُدَيَّاكَ بِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ [I am he who vies, &c., with thee in this affair], meaning come forth to me as an adversary, by thyself alone, (T, S, * K, * TA,) and compete, or contend, with me [in this affair]. (T, TA.) b2: And هُوَ حُدَيَّاهُمْ He aims at them; makes them his object; seeks, endeavours after, pursues, or endeavours to reach, or attain, them. (TA.) b3: And هٰذَا حُدَيَّا هٰذَا This is the like, or like in form, of this. (As, TA.) b4: And حُدَيَّا النَّاسِ One of the men or people. (Kr, K.) A3: See also حِدَأَةٌ, in art. حدأ.) حَدَّآءٌ: see what next follows.

حَادٍ Driving or a driver [of camels; or urging or exciting them, or one who urges or excites them, by singing to them: see 1]: (Mgh:) pl. حُدَاةٌ. (TA.) You say رَجُلٌ حَادٍ, and ↓ حَدَّآءٌ [which latter is an intensive epithet]. (K.) b2: It is also applied to a [wild] he-ass, as meaning Driving before him his she-asses. (S, * TA.) He is said to be حَادِى ثَلَاثٍ [A driver before him of three she-asses], (S, TA,) and حَادِى ثَمَانٍ [a driver before him of eight she-asses]. (TA.) b3: حَادِى

النَّجْمِ [lit. The driver, or urger, of the asterism] means الدَّبَرَانُ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) the Hyades; or the five chief stars thereof; or the brightest star thereof, a of Taurus]: (TA:) and so حَادِى النُّجُومِ [lit. the driver, or urger, of the stars].

And (assumed tropical:) The latter or hinder, or the last, or hindmost, parts or portions of anything.

A4: بَهِىَ بِهِ i. q. بَهَأَ بِهِ [q. v.]. (JK.) and بَهَؤُوا بِهِ occurs in a trad., as they relate it, for بَهَؤُوا بِهِ. (A'Obeyd, TA in art. بهأ.) 2 بهّاهُ, inf. n. تَبْهِيَةٌ, He made it wide, or ample; or widened it; and made it; namely, a بَيْت [i. e. tent, or house].

(S, * TA.) Hence, in a trad. respecting

'Arafeh, تُبَاهِى بِهِمُ المَلَائِكَةُ [The angels vie with them]. (TA.) You say, ↓ بَاهَانِى فَبَهَوْتُهُ (Lh, JK, K *) and ↓ بَهَيْتُهُ (Lh, JK) i. e. [He vied, or competed, with me, or contended with me for superiority, in beauty, or goodliness, &c.,] and I became, (Lh,) or I was, (JK,) more beautiful, or goodly, [&c.,] than he, (Lh, JK,) or I surpassed him in beauty, or goodliness [&c.]. (K.) 4 ابهى He (a man) was, or became, beautiful, or handsome, in face. (K.) A2: ابهاهُ [He deprived it of beauty, or goodliness; the ا being a privative, as it often is, like the Greek a: this is probably the primary signification: (see Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 604:) and hence, b2: ] He made it empty, or vacant: (K:) or he rent it, or made holes in it: (JK:) or he rent it, or made holes in it, and rendered it vacant: (S:) namely, a tent. (JK, S, K.) Hence the saying, المِعْزَى

(TA.) b6: The interior of the chest, or breast, (K, TA,) of a man and of any beast: (TA:) or the space that intervenes between the two breasts and the uppermost part of the chest (K, TA) is called بَهْوُ الصَّدْرِ: (TA:) or the part between [or within] the extremities of the ribs that project over the belly: (TA:) and in her that is pregnant, (JK, K,) whatever she be, (JK,) the resting-place of the fœtus, between the two haunches: (JK, K:) pl. [of pauc.] أَبْهَآءٌ and أَبْهٍ and [of mult.] بُهِىٌّ and [quasi-pl. n.] بَهِىٌّ [in the TA بِهِىٌّ, which seems to be a mistake]. (K) b7: A tent that is placed in advance, before the other tents: (JK, S, TA:) pl. أَبْهَآءٌ. (JK.) In a trad., Arabs are spoken of as removing with their أَبْهَآء.

Between them two is relationship]; (S;) and مَا تَزْدَادُ مِنَّا إِلَّا قُرْبًا وَدَنَاوَةٍ [Thou increasest not save in nearness and relationship to us]. (ISk, T, S.)

What hath happened to me that I see him walking gently or with short steps, or rendered lowly by age, having been approached by death?]: it is from دَنَوْتُ, but the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it, and then the ن is made quiescent: and there are similar instances of contraction of verbs: but [ISd says,] I know not دُنْىَ except in this instance; and As used to say of the poem in which this occurs, This rejez is not ancient: it is app. of Khalaf ElAhmar or some other of the Muwelleds. (M.) One says also, دَنَتِ الشَّمْسُ لِلْمَغُرُوبِ and ↓ أَدْنَت [The sun was, or became, near to setting]. (M.)

(Msb, and so the latter is explained in the Mgh.) 2 دَنَّوَ see 1: A2: and 4. b2: It is said in a trad., سَمُّوا وَ سَمِّتُواوَ دَنُّوا, i.e. [Pronounce ye the name of God, (i. e. say, In the name of God,) and invoke a blessing upon him at whose abode or table ye eat, (see art. سمت,) and] make your words to be near together in praising God.

(M.) 8 اِدَّنَى, inf. n. اِدِّنَآءٌ: see 1.10 استدناهُ He sought, desired, or demanded, of him, nearness, or approach; (M, K, TA;) he sought, or desired, to make him draw near, or approach: and he drew him near, or caused him to approach. (MA. [See also 4.]) دَنًا inf. n. of دَنِىَ, q. v. (T, M, K.) A2: أَدْنَى دَنًا: see ادنى.

هُوَ ابْنُ عَمّ دِنْىٍ and دِنْيًا and دِنْيَا and ↓ دُنْيَا mean [He is a son of a paternal uncle] closely related; syn. لَحًّا [q. v.]: when you pronounce the د with damm, you do not make the word perfectly decl.: when you pronounce it with kesr, you make it either perfectly or imperfectly decl.: but when you prefix عَمّ to a determinate noun, دِنْى may not be in the gen. case: for instance, you say, هُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ دِنْيًا, i. e. [He is the son of his paternal uncle] closely related; as also ↓ دِنْيَةٌ; because دِنْى, being indeterminate, cannot be an epithet applied to that which is determinate: (S:) and [in like manner] you say, هُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّى, or ابن خَالِى, or ابن عَمَّتِى, or ابن خَالَتِى, or ابن أَخِى, or ابن أُخْتِى, (M, K,) all mentioned by Lh, the last two as on the authority of Aboo-Safwán, but all except the first and second as unknown to Ks and to As, (M,) followed by ↓ دِنْيَةٌ and دِنْيًا and دِنْيَا and ↓ دُنْيَا, (M, K, TA,) the last two without tenween, (TA; [and so written in the M; but in the CK and my MS. copy of the K, in the place of these two is put دُنْيًا, which is disallowed by J;]) meaning [He is the son of my paternal uncle, and the son of my maternal uncle, &c.,] closely related: (M, K:) and ↓ هُوَ عَمُّهُ دُنٌيَا and ↓ دِنْيَةً and دِنْيًا and دِنْيَا [He is his paternal uncle closely related]: (Ks, T:) Lh says that the و is changed into ى in ↓ دِنْيَةً and دِنٌيًا because of the nearness of the kesreh and the weakness of the intervening letter, as is the case in فِتْيَةٌ and عِلْيَةٌ: but it seems that these words are originally ↓ دُنْيَا, i. e., by a relationship, or uterine relationship, nearer to me than others; and that the change of the letter is made only to show that the ى is that of the fem. of أَدْنَى. (M.) You say also, ↓ هُمْ رَهْطُهُ دِنْيَةً

They are his people, and his tribe, closely related. (S and TA in art. رهط.) دِنْيَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in five places.

دُنْيَا fem. of أَدْنَى [q. v.].

دُنْيِىٌّ: see what next follows.

دُنْيَوِىٌّ: see what next follows.

دُنْيَاوِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, the present world, or state of existence; worldly:] a rel. n. from الدُّنْيَا; (T, S;) as also ↓ دُنٌيَوِىٌّ and ↓ دُنْيِىٌّ. (S.) دَنِىٌّ i. q. قَرِيبٌ [as meaning Near, in person, or substance, or in respect of predicament, and in place, and in time: (see 1, first sentence: and see also دَانٍ:) and a relation]: (T, S:) and a friend; or a sincere, or secret, or particular, friend; syn. خُلْصَانٌ. (T.) It has these significations (of قريب and خلصان) in the prov. كُلُّ دَنِىٍّ دُوَنهُ دَنِىٌّ [app. meaning There is a relation, or a friend, nearer than every other relation, or friend; like another prov., namely, دُونَ كُلِّ قُرَيْبَى قُرْبَى, for the meaning and application of which see art. قرب: Freytag renders it, “Quod attinet ad quemlibet propinquum (amicum), præter eum est propinquus:” (Arab. Prov. ii. 357:) and he adds, “ Proverbii sensus esse videtur: Quilibet propinquus seu amicus unicus non est; sed præter eum est alius ”]: (T, Meyd:) so says Az. (Meyd.) b2: See also أَدْنَى.

A2: As an epithet applied to a man, signifying Weak; contemptible; &c.: see 1, near the end of the paragraph: [but J says that] as meaning دُونٌ, it is [دَنِىْءٌ,] with ء: (S:) the pl. is أَدْنِيَآءُ. (T, M.) [In the CK, by a mistranscription mentioned above (voce دَنِىَ), دَنْىٌ is made to signify the same.]

دَنِيَّهٌ A low, or base, quality, property, natural disposition, habit, practice, or action; syn. نَقِيصَةٌ; (Mgh;) or such as is blamed; originally دَنِيْئَةٌ: (TA:) pl. دَنَايَا. (Har p. 327.) Hence the saying of Ibn-Háritheh, المَنِيَّةَ لَا الدَّنِيَّةَ, meaning I choose death rather than, or not, disgrace. (Har ubi suprà.) دَانٍ [Being, or becoming, near; drawing near, or approaching: and hence, near; like دَنِىٌّ:] act. part. n. of دَنَا مِنْهُ. (Msb.) أَدْنَى Nearer, and nearest; opposed to أَقْصَى: (TA:) fem. دُنْيَا; (M, TA;) in which the [radical] و is changed into ى, as in عُلْيَا and قُصْيَا: (ISd, TA voce بُقْوَى:) [the pl. of the masc. is أَدَانٍ and أَدْنَوْنَ; the latter in the accus. and gen. أَدْنَيْنِ: and] the pl. of the fem., دُنًى, (S, K, TA,) like كُبَرٌ pl. of كُبْرَى, and صُغَرٌ pl. of صُغْرَى; (S, TA;) said by some to be extr. and strange [in respect of usage]; and El-Mutanebbee has been blamed for using it; (MF, TA;) but in the case referred to he has used الدُّنَى for الدُّنْيَا, [not as a pl.,] suppressing the ى by poetic license. (TA.) [Hence,] غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ فِى أَدْنَى

الأَرْضِ, in the Kur xxx. 1 and 2, The Greeks have been overcome in the nearer, or nearest, part of the land. (Bd, Jel.) And الجَمْرَةُ الدُّنْيَا [The nearest heap of pebbles;] the heap of pebbles nearest to Minè. (TA. [See art. جمر.]) and السَّمَآءُ الدُّنْيَا [The nearest heaven; i. e. the lowest;] the heaven that is the nearest to us: (T, TA:) also called سَمَآءُ الدُّنْيَا [which means the heaven of the present world; as will be seen from what follows]. (TA.) See also exs. of the fem. in the paragraph commencing with the words هُوَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ دِنْىٍ, in four places. b2: Also Former, and first; and fore, and foremost; opposed to آخِرٌ. (TA.) [Hence,] ↓ لَقِيتُهُ أَدْنَى دَنِىٍّ (S, K, TA) and ↓ أَدْنَى دَنًا, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, ادنى دَنّىٰ and ادنى دَنِىٍّ,]) i. e. I met him the first thing. (S, K.) [And أَدْنَى الفَمِ The fore, or foremost, part of the mouth.] And الدُّنْيَا [ for الدَّارُ الدُّنْيَا, and الحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا, The former dwelling, or abode, and life; i. e. the present world, and life, or state of existence]; contr. of الآخِرَةُ: (M, K:) [or] it is so called because of its nearness: (T, S:) [and may be rendered the sublunary abode, &c.: and the inferior abode, &c. It also signifies The enjoyments, blessings, or good, of the present world, or life; worldly blessings or prosperity, &c.] And sometimes it is with tenween, (K, TA,) when used indeterminately: (TA:) [thus,] IAar mentions the saying مَا لَهُ دُنْيًا وَ لَا آخِرَةٌ [as meaning He has none of the enjoyments, or blessings, of the present world, nor in prospect any enjoyments, or blessings, of the world to come]; with tenween. (M, TA.) And you say, بَاعَ دُنْيَاهُ بِآخِرَتِهِ [He purchased his enjoyments of the present world at the expense of his enjoyments of the world to come]. (Z, TA in art. بيع.) And اَبْنُ الدُّنْيَا means The rich man. (Msb in art. بنى.) b3: Also More, and most, apt, fit, or proper: thus in the Kur [xxxiii. 59], in the phrase ذٰلِكَ أَدْنَى أَنْ يُعَرَفْنَ [That will be more, or most, apt, fit, or proper, that they may be known]; (Ksh, Mgh;) i. e., that they may be known to be free women, as distinguished from female slaves, who did not cover their faces. (Jel.) b4: Also Less [in number or quantity &c.], and least [therein]; opposed to أَكْثَرُ. (TA.) وَلَا أَدْنَى مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَاأَكْثَرَ, in the Kur [lviii. 8], means Nor less in number than that, nor more in number. (Bd.) and وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُمْ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَدْنَى دُونَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَكْبَرِ, in the Kur [xxxii. 21, lit. And we will assuredly make them to taste of the smaller punishment besides the greater punishment], means, accord. to Zj, whatever punishment is inflicted in the present world and the punishment of the world to come. (M.) b5: Also Worse, [or inferior in quality,] and worst; or more, and most, low, ignoble, base, vile, mean, or weak; opposed to خَيْرٌ. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 58], أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ الَّذِى هُوَ

أَدْنَى بِالَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ [Will ye take in exchange that which is worse, or inferior, for that which is better? or], accord. to Zj, meaning that which is less in value [for that which is better]? ادنى

being thus, without ء: Fr says that it is here from الدَّنَآءَةٌ: and Zuheyr El-Kurkubee [or (accord. to some) El-Furkubee] read أَدْنَأُ. (T.) مُدْنٍ and مُدْنِيَةٌ, applied to a she-camel, (M, K,) and to a woman, (M,) Near to bringing forth. (M, K.) مُدَنٍّ, applied to a man, Weak; (S, TA;) contemptible (خَسِيسٌ); not profitable to any one; who falls short in everything upon which he enters; [like دَنِىٌّ;] (TA;) or falling short of accomplishing that which it behooves him to do: (AHeyth, T:) also, for the sake of rhyme, [by poetic license,] written مُدَنْ. (T.)

ثر

ى1 ثَرِيَتِ الأَرْضُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. ثَرٌى, The earth, or land, became moist and soft, after drought and dryness: (M, K:) or became watered by rain that penetrated to its moistness. (Msb.) A2: See also the same form of the verb in the first paragraph of art. ثرو, in six places.2 ثرّى, (T, S, M, K,) inf. n. تَثْرِيَةٌ, (S, K,) He moistened (T, S, M, K) a place, (T,) or earth, or the ground, or dust, (M, K,) and سَوِيق [or meal of parched barley or wheat], (S, TA,) and any other thing: (TA:) he sprinkled a place: (S, K:) he poured water upon, and then stirred about, and mixed up, [the preparation of milk termed] أَقِط, (M, K,) and سَوِيق. (M.) A2: He made his hands to cleave to the ground (T, K) between the two prostrations in prayer, not separating them therefrom until he performed the second prostration.

[See also مُثْرٍ.]

ثَرًى Moisture; humidity; (S, M, K;) of the earth: (S, Msb:) and moist earth; (S, M, Msb, K;) تُرَاب that is not moist is not called ثَرًى; (Msb;) or such as, when moistened, does not become cohesive mud or clay; (M, K;) as also ↓ ثَرْيَآءُ [an epithet used as a subst.]: (AO, T, * K, TA: [in the CK, erroneously, ثَرَياء:]) and the earth;; (M, K) مَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَي, in the Kur [xx. 5], being explained as meaning what is beneath the earth: (M:) الثَّرَى and * أَثْرَى both signify the earth; and the latter, being thus used as a proper name, is imperfectly decl.: (Ham p. 351:) dual ثَرَيَانِ (S, M, K) and ثَرَوَانِ: (Lh, M, K: [but the sing. of the latter should be written ثَرًا:]) pl. أَثْرَآْ. (M, K.) اِلْتَقَى الثَّرَيَانِ [The two moistures met, or have met,] is said when the rain has sunk into the ground so that it has met the moisture of the earth. (S, M, K.) Accord. to IAar, it was also said by a man, (M,) or by an Arab of the desert, (K,) who, (M, K,) being naked, (K,) clad himself with a fur-garment, (M, K,) without a shirt; (M;) meaning the hair of the pubes and the soft hair of the fur-garment. (M, K.) And the Arabs say, شَهْرٌ ثَرَى وَشَهْرٌ تَرَى وَشَهْرٌ مَرْعَى وَشَهْرٌ اسْتَوَى, meaning A month [of moisture] in which the rain begins, and sinks into the ground, and moistens and softens the earth; for شَهْرٌ ذُو ثَرًى: and a month in which thou seest the heads of the herbage grown forth; for شَهْرٌ تَرَى فِيهِ رُؤُوسَ النَّبَاتِ: and a month in which the herbage is tall enough to be pastured upon by the cattle: (As, S, * M:) and a month in which it is full-grown and erect. (As, M.) One says also, بَدَا ثَرَى المَآءِ مِنَ الفَرَسِ, meaning The sweat of the horse appeared. (S, * M.) And إِنِّى لَأَرَي ثَرَى الغَضَبِ فِى وَجْهِ فُلَانٍ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Verily I see the effect of anger in the face of such a one. (T.) And هُوَابْنُ ثَرَاهَا (assumed tropical:) He is the knowing with respect to it. (T in art. بنى.) b2: [Hence, as being likened to moist earth,] i. q. خَيْرٌ (assumed tropical:) [Good; anything good; &c.]. (M, K. [For خَيْر, Golius appears to have found, in a copy of the K, حَيْز; and this, which he has rendered “Terræ tractus,” he has given as a signification, not of ثَرًى, but of ثَرَآءٌ, which, like ثَرًى, he also explains as meaning “ terra. ” ]) So in the saying, فُلَانٌ قَرِيبُ الثَّرَى [app. meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is a person from whom good is easy of attainment: or it may mean, a person from whom good seems to be easy of attainment: in either case likened to land of which the moist earth is near the surface: that the phrase may have the latter meaning appears from what here follows]. (M.) You say, إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَقَرِيبُ الثَّرِى بَعِيدُ النَّبَطِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Verily such a one is a person who promises but who does not fulfil. (IAar, T.) b3: [Hence also, (assumed tropical:) Fresh and vigorous friendship.] You say, لَمْ يَبْبَسِ الثَّرَى بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَهُ (assumed tropical:) [The fresh and vigorous friendship between me and him has not withered]: whence the phrase, مَا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ فُلَانٍ

* مُثْرٍ (assumed tropical:) [That friendship which is between me and such a one is fresh and vigorous]; i. e., it has not ceased, or become severed. (S, * M.) Jereer says, فَلَا تُوبِسُوا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمُ الثَّرَى

↓ فَإِنَّ الَّذَي بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمُ مُثْرِى

[And wither not the fresh and vigorous friendship between me and you; for that which is between me and you is fresh and vigorous]. (S, M.) ثَرٍ, fem. ثَرِيَةٌ, Moist; humid.] You say أَرْضٌ ثَرِيَةٌ, (M, Msb,) like عَمِيَةٌ, (Msb,) or ↓ ثَرِيَّةٌ, like غَنِيَّةٌ, (K, [but this is anomalous, as part. n. of ثَرِيَت,]) and ↓ ثَرْيَآءُ, (Msb, K,) Earth, or land, that has become moist and soft, after drought and dryness: (M, K:) or watered by rain that has penetrated to its moistness: (Msb:) or the last, land of just, or moderate, moisture: (AHn, M:) or moist land; (T, S, M;) and so the first. (M.) And ↓ مَكَانٌ ثَرْيَانُ A place of which the earth has in it moisture. (TA.) And ↓ يَوْمٌ ثَرِىٌّ A humid day. (TA.) A2: See also art. ثرو.

A2: And see art. ثرو.

مَثْرِىُّ a pass. part. n. having no verb; used as an intensive epithet in the phrase ثَرًى مَثْرِىٌّ [Very moist earth]. (M.) A2: See also art. ثرو.

بغ

ى1 بَغَى, (S, K, &c.,) aor. ـِ (Msb, K,) inf. n. بُغَآءٌ, (S, Mgh, K, &c.,) or this is a simple subst., and the inf. n. is بَغْىٌ, (Msb,) [but, if this be correct, the former is generally used for the latter,] and بُغًى, (Lh, K,) but the first is better known, and is the chaste form, and some say, بِغًى, (TA,) and بُغْيَةٌ and بِغْيَةٌ, (K,) accord. to Th, but others hold these two to be simple substs., and some mention also بَغْيَةٌ, with fet-h, (TA,) and بُغَايَةٌ, (As, S, TA,) He sought; sought for, or after; sought, desired, or endeavoured, to find, and take, or get; (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.;) a stray-beast, (As, S, TA,) or any other thing, (S, Mgh, * Msb, * K, * TA,) good or evil; (Lh, TA;) as also ↓ ابتغى and ↓ تبغّى (S, Msb, K) and ↓ استبغى: (K:) or ↓ ابتغى signifies he sought, &c., diligently, studiously, sedulously, or earnestly: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and بَغَى signifies also he loved, or affected, a thing: (MF, TA:) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, the inf. n. signifies the seeking to exceed the just bounds in respect of that which one aims at, or endeavours after, whether one actually exceed or do not; and sometimes it is considered in relation to quantity; and sometimes, in relation to quality. (TA.) You say, بَغَاهُ بِشَرٍّ [He sought him with an evil purpose; or sought to do him evil]. (S and K in art. عقب.) b2: And بَغَاهُ He sought, &c., a thing for him; like بَغَى لَهُ. (Lh, Mgh, * K. *) You say, بَغَاهُ الشَّىْءَ He sought, &c., the thing for him; (S, K;) as also الشَّىْءَ ↓ ابغاهُ: (K:) thus you say, اِبْغِنِى كَذَا or كذا ↓ أَبْغِنِى and اِبْغَ لِى

كذا Seek thou for me such a thing; (TA;) and ضَالَّتِى ↓ أَبْغِنِى Seek thou for me my stray-beast: (Mgh:) or الشَّىءَ ↓ ابغاهُ signifies He aided, or assisted, him to seek the thing: (Ks, K:) or كَذَا ↓ أَبْغِنِى signifies Seek thou for me such a thing; and also Aid thou me to seek such a thing. (JK.) It is said in the Kur [ix. 47], يَبْغُونَكُمُ الفِتْنَةَ They seek, or desire, for you discord, or dissension; or they seeking, &c.: and in the same [iii. 94], تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا Ye seek, or desire, for it, namely, the way [of God], crookedness; or ye seeking, &c.: the first objective complement of the verb being in the accus. case because of the suppression of the preposition ل. (TA.) b3: [Hence, app.,] بَغَانِى دَآءً It procured to me disease; it caused disease to befall me. (Ham p. 794.) And إِنَّهُ لَذُو بُغَايَةٍ Verily he is one who makes much gain: (JK, K:) but in the M, ذُو بُغَايَةٍ لِلْكَسْبِ, meaning a seeker of gain. (TA.) And مَابُغِىَ لَهُ Good was not appointed to betide him. (TA.) b4: بَغَى عَلَى أَخِيهِ, inf. n. بَغْىٌ, He envied his brother; he wished that a blessing, or cause of happiness, or an excellence, might become transferred from his brother to himself: so says Lh, who holds this to be the primary signification of the verb. (TA.) It is said in a prov., البَغْىُ عِقَالُ النَّصْرِ [Envy is the shackle of aid from God against an enemy or a wrongdoer]. (TA.) b5: Hence, (Lh, TA,) بَغْىٌ signifies The acting wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically; (Lh, S, TA;) because the envier so acts towards the envied; his endeavour being to cause, by guile, the blessing of God upon him to depart from him: (Lh, TA:) or the seeking, or endeavouring, to act corruptly, wrongly, or unjustly: (Az, TA:) or the exceeding the due bounds, or just limits, in any way: (S:) accord. to Er-Rághib, it is of two kinds: one of these is approved, and this is the passing beyond the bounds of equity to exercise beneficence, and beyond the bounds of obligatory duties to do what is not obligatory: the other is disapproved, and this is the passing beyond the bounds of that which is true, or right, to do that which is false, or wrong, or to do acts of a doubtful nature: but in most instances it is that which is disapprove. (TA.) You say, بَغَى عَلَيْهِ, (S, K,) and بغى عَلَى النَّاسِ, (Az, Msb,) aor. ـِ (K,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (Msb, K,) He exalted himself against him, or above him; overpowered, or oppressed, him; (Fr, S, K;) acted wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically, towards him; and deviated from the right way: (K:) and he acted wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically, towards men, or the people, (Az, Msb,) and sought to annoy them, or hurt them. (Az, TA.) Lh mentions, on the authority of Ks, the saying, مَا لِى وَلِلْبَغِ بَعْضِكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ [What have I to do with wrongful conduct, the wrongful conduct of one of you towards another?], for وَلِلْبَغْىِ; ISd thinks, because of the difficulty found in pronouncing the kesreh after the ى. (TA.) بَغَى also signifies He occupied himself with corrupt, wrong, or unjust, conduct: [accord. to Fei,] from the same verb [in a sense to be mentioned below,] said of a wound. (Msb.) Also, aor. ـِ (TA,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (Az, TA,) He magnified himself; or behaved proudly, haughtily, or insolently: (Az, TA:) because he who does so passes beyond the bounds of his proper station to a station that does not belong to him. (TA.) b6: And [hence,] بَغَى فِى مِشيَتِهِ, (K,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (TA,) He [app. a horse, and perhaps a man also,] was proud, or self-conceited, and quick, in his gait: (K:) or بَغْىٌ in a horse, (S, TA,) or in the running of a horse, (JK, TA,) is the being proud, or self-conceited, with exceeding briskness or liveliness or sprightliness. (JK, S, TA.) b7: And بَغَتِ السَّمَآءُ, (S, K,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (TA,) The sky rained vehemently: (A'Obeyd, S, K:) or exceeded, in rain, the limit of what was wanted. (Er-Rághib, TA.) And بَغَى الوَادِى The valley flowed with water reaching to a place to which it had not reached before. (S, TA.) b8: بَغَتْ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) said of a woman, (Th, IKh, S, Msb, and so in some copies of the K,) or of a female slave, (so in other copies of the K,) but it is not restricted to the latter, (TA,) aor. ـِ (JK, Msb,) inf. n. بِغَآءٌ, (IKh, JK, S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) or بَغْىٌ, (ISd, K,) [but the former, only, is commonly known,] She committed fornication, or adultery; she prostituted herself; (JK, S, Mgh, Msb, K;) because she who does so transgresses her proper bounds; (TA;) as also ↓ بَاغَتْ, (IKh, S, * Msb, K,) inf. n. بِغَآءٌ (IKh, K) and مُبَاغَاةٌ, (K,) said of a female slave: (Msb:) or مباغاة signifies the committing fornication, or adultery, with another. (KL.) It is said in the Kur [xxiv. 33], وَلَا تُكْرِهُو فَتَيَاتِكُمْ عَلَى البِغَآءِ [And compel not ye your young women to prostitute themselves]. (Mgh.) And you say, ↓ خَرَجَتِ المَرْأَةُ تُبَاغِى [The woman went forth for prostituting herself]. (S.) Accord. to the Jema etTefáreek, بِغَآءٌ signifies The knowing of a woman's committing fornication or adultery, or prostituting herself, and approving, or being content: but this, if correct, is an amplification in speech. (Mgh.) b9: بَغَى الجُرْحُ, (JK, S, Msb,) aor. ـَ inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (JK,) The wound swelled, (S,) and became in a corrupt state, (JK, S, Msb,) and produced thick purulent matter. (JK.) And بَرَأَ جُرْحُهُ عَلَى بَغْىٍ

His wound healed having somewhat of corruption in it. (S.) b10: بَغَى, (K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (TA,) also signifies He lied; said what was untrue. (K.) مَا نَبْغِى, in the Kur [xii. 65], is said to mean We do not lie: and we do not act wrongfully: or it may mean what do we seek, or desire? (TA.) b2: Also, (K,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (TA,) He looked at a thing [to see] how it was; (K;) and so بَغَا, inf. n. بَغْوٌ: mentioned by Kr. (TA.) b3: And, (K,) with the same inf. n., (TA,) He looked, watched, or waited, for a person or thing. (Kr, K.) 3 بَاْغَىَ see 1, latter part, in two places.

A2: Lh mentions the saying, addressed to a pretty woman, إِنَّكِ لَجَمِيلَةٌ وَلَا تُبَاغِى, as meaning Verily thou art pretty, and mayest thou not be smitten by the [evil] eye: (TA in this art.:) but accord. to some, the verb in this instance belongs to art. بوغ or art. بيغ. (TA in art. بوغ.) 4 أَبْغَىَ see 1, in five places. b2: ابغاهُ الشَّىْءَ also signifies He made him, or caused him, to seek the thing; to seek for it, or after it; to seek, or desire, or endeavour, to find, and take, or get, it. (S.) 5 تَبَغَّىَ see 1, first sentence.6 تَبَاغَوْا They acted wrong fully, injuriously, or tyrannically, one towards another; exalted themselves, one against, or above, another; overpowered, or oppressed, one another. (S, TA.) 7 انبغى is said in the S to be quasi-pass. of بَغَيْتُهُ, like as اِنْكَسَرَ is of كَسَرْتُهُ; and Esh-Shiháb says of the aor. that it is quasi-pass. of بَغَاهُ, aor. ـْ in the sense of طَلَبَهُ: (TA:) [Fei says,] it has been asserted that انبغى is quasi-pass. of بَغَى; but a verb of the measure انفعل is not used as a quasi-pass. unless it implies effort, and the consequence of an action, as in the case of كَسَرْتُهُ, of which the quasi-pass. is اِنْكَسَرَ; which انبغى does not: some, however, allow its being thus used: (Msb:) accord. to Zj, it is as though it were syn. with اِنْطَلَبَ, as quasi-pass. of طَلَبَ, and means It was, or became, suitable, fit, meet, or proper; (Zj, TA;) [or right, and allowable; and good: or very requisite: (see explanations of exs. following:) or it behooved: and] it was, or became, facilitated, or easy; (Er-Rághib, K;) and practicable, or manageable. (Er-Rághib, TA.) Accord. to some, this verb is not used in the pret. tense, but only in the aor. : it is reckoned among verbs imperfectly inflected: (Msb, TA:) but the pret. is mentioned by Az and Sb and Zj, and by ElKhattábee on the authority of Ks; and was often used by Esh-Sháfi'ee: it is, however, very rare. (TA.) You say, يَنْبَغِى لَكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا [It is suitable to thee, or is fit, meet, or proper, &c., for thee, or it behooveth thee, that thou shouldst do such a thing]. (S, TA.) And, accord. to Zj, اِنْبَغَى لِفُلَانٍ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ, as meaning It was, or became, suitable to such a one, or fit, meet, or proper, for him, that he should do, or to do, such a thing. (TA.) And مَا يَنْبَغِى لَكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ هٰذَا, (Lh, K,) and ↓ ما يُبْتَغَى, (K, TA,) with fet-h to the غ, (TA,) and ما انْبَغَى, and ↓ ما ابْتُغِىَ; (Lh, K;) of which four phrases, the first is given by Lh as explanatory of the third and fourth, and means, accord. to Esh-Shiháb, It is not right, proper, fit, or meet, nor allowable, for thee that thou shouldst do this, or to do this; and it is not good for thee &c.; but he adds that only the aor. has been heard from the Arabs in this sense. (TA.) And يَنْبَغِى أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا It is very requisite that it should be so, or that such a thing ought be; [or it ought to be so, or such a thing ought to be; it behooves that it should be so, or such a thing behooves;] it is not well that such a thing should be neglected, or left undone. (Msb.) and Ks is related to have heard, from the Arabs, the phrase, مَا يَنْبَغِى أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا, meaning It is not right that it should be so, or that such a thing should be: or it is not good &c. (Msb.) It is said in the Kur [xxxvi. 69], وَمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ الشِّعْرَ وَمَا يَنْبَغِى لَهُ, i. e. [And we have not taught him poetry, or versification], nor is it right, proper, fit, or meet, for him: (Bd:) or nor is it easy to him, (Bd, Jel, Er-Rághib,) or practicable to him. (Bd, Er-Rághib.) 8 إِبْتَغَىَ see 1, first sentence, in two places: b2: and see also 7, in two places.10 إِسْتَبْغَىَ see 1, first sentence. b2: You say also, استبغى القَوْمَ فَبَغَوْهُ and بَغَوْا لَهُ [He asked the people, or company of men, to seek a thing for him, and they sought it for him]. (Lh, K.) بَغْىٌ [originally an inf. n. (see 1)] Much of rain; or much rain: in [some of] the copies of the K, البطر is erroneously put for المطر: (TA:) [and in some, البَغِىُّ for البَغْىُ: in a MS. copy, I find البَغِىُّ الكَثِيرُ مِنَ المَطَرِ: and in the CK, البَغِىُّ الكَثِيْرُ من النَّظَرِ:] or بَغْىُ السَّمَآءِ signifies the main portion, (As, S,) or the vehemence, and the main portion, (Lh, JK, TA,) of the rain of the sky. (As, Lh, JK, S, TA.) Hence the saying, دَفَعْنَا بَغْىَ السَّمَآءِ خَلْفَنَا (As, S, TA) or عَنَّا (Lh, TA) [lit. We drove away the main portion, or the vehemence, and the main portion, of the rain of the sky behind us or from us; meaning it was driven away behind us or from us, or it departed; as is shown in art. دفع].

(see 1)]: (JK:) or a thing wanted, needed, or required; an object of want or need; a want, or needful or requisite thing or affair: (S, Msb:) as in the saying, لِى فِىبَنِى فُلَانٍ بَغْيَةٌ and بُغْيَةٌ [I have among the sons of such a one an object of want]: (S:) or the first signifies a state that one seeks; and the second, a thing itself that one wants: (As, S, Msb: *) and the first, (JK,) or third, (K,) signifies also a stray beast that is sought: (JK, K:) the pl. of the second is بُغًى. (JK.) اِرْتَدَّتْ عَلَى فُلَانٍ بِغْيَتُهُ [The thing that he sought was refused to such a one] is said of one who finds not what he seeks. (TA.).

(S, Mgh, Msb.) [See an ex. voce مَهْرٌ.] b2: Also A female slave, (JK, S, K,) whether she be a fornicatress or an adulteress or a prostitute or not; (TA;) not meant to imply revilement, though originally applied to female slaves because of their prostitution of themselves: (S:) or a free woman who is a fornicatress or an adulteress or a prostitute: so in the K: but correctly, or a fornicatress or an adulteress or a prostitute, whether free or a slave: (TA:) and a female singer, though chaste; because of fornication's being originally attributable to such a person: (Msb:) pl. as above. (JK, S, TA.) One says, قَامَتْ عَلَى رُؤُسِهِمُ البَغَايَا [The female slaves stood over their heads]. (S.) b3: بَغَايَا also signifies The scouts, or companies of scouts, that precede an army: (S, K, TA:) but the sing. of this is ↓ بَغِيَّةٌ. (TA.) بَغِيَّةٌ: see بِغْيَةٌ.

بَاغٍ Seeking; seeking for, or after; seeking, desiring, or endeavouring, to find, and take, or get: pl. بُغَاةٌ and بُغْيَانٌ (K) and بُغَّآءٌ. (TA: [there mentioned as a pl., but not said to be of بَاغٍ, nor explained.]) بَاغٍ وَهَادٍ, lit. A seeker of [stray] camels and a guide of the way, mentioned in a trad. respecting the Hijreh (as said by A booBekr to a man who asked him “ Who are ye? ”), alludes to the seeking of religion and the guiding from error.

(JK.) مَبْغًى [A place where a thing is sought: and hence, a way, or manner, in which a thing is, or should be, sought]: this is meant in the saying, ↓ بَغَيْتُ المَالَ مِنْ مَبْغَاتِهِ [I sought wealth by the way, or manner, whereby it should be sought]; like as مَأْتًى is meant in the saying, أَتَيْتُ الأَمْرَ مِنْ مَأْتَاتِهِ.

بل

ى1 بَلِىَ: see art. بلو.4 ابلى الثَّوْبَ: see art. بلو.

بِلْىٌ: and بِلْىُ سَفَرٍ: &c.: see art. بلو.

بَلَى is a particle; (S, Msb, Mughnee;) contr. of لَا: (S:) not a noun: (Sb, S:) it is a replicative; (S, Mughnee;) an affirmative of what is said [in that to which it is a reply]; (S, Msb;) [with very few exceptions] relating only to a negation, which it annuls: (Msb, Mughnee:) the final letter is a radical: or, accord. to some, the word is originally بَلْ, [after which an affirmation is to be understood,] and the final letter is augmentative: and some of these say that this letter is a denotative of the fem. gender, because it is [often] pronounced with imáleh. (Mughnee.) It is a reply to an interrogation in which is a negative, (T, M, Msb, Mughnee, K,) and affirms what is said to thee [in that interrogation]; (M, K;) whether it be an interrogation in the proper sense, (Mughnee,) as when you say to another, أَلَمْ تَفْعَلْ كَذَا [Didst thou not such a thing?], and he replies, بَلَى [meaning Yes, or yea, or ay, I did], (T,) or as when one says, أَلَيْسَ زَيْدٌ بِقَائِمٍ

[Is not Zeyd standing?], and you reply, بَلَى

[Yes, he is]; or be meant to convey reproof, (Mughnee,) as in the Kur [lxxv. 3 and 4], أَيَحْسَبُ الإِنْسَانُ أَنْ لَنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ بَلَى [Doth man think that we will not collect his bones? Yes], (Msb, Mughnee,) i. e., we will collect them; (Msb;) or be meant to make a person confess, or acknowledge, a thing, (Mughnee,) as in the Kur [vii. 171], أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى

[Am I not your Lord? They said, Yea]. (M, Mughnee.) It is also a reply to a simple negation, (Msb, Mughnee,) as when I say, مَا قَامَ زَيْدٌ [Zeyd did not stand, or has not stood], and you reply, بَلَى as an affirmative [meaning Yes, he did, or he has]. (Msb.) It occurs in the Kur [xxxix. 60], where it is said, بَلَى قَدْ جَآءَتْكَ آيَاتِى

[Yea, my signs have come to thee], preceded by that which is not literally a negation, but which has the force of a negation; for the preceding saying, لَوْ أَنَّ اللّٰهَ هَدَانِى [If God had directed me aright, or would that God &c.], is like the saying, مَا هُدِيتُ [I was not directed aright]. (M.) It also occurs in the books of traditions, in some instances, as a reply to an interrogation without a negative; but these instances are rare, and not to be followed in rendering revelation. (Mughnee.) Az says that when a man says to another, أَلَا تَقُومُ [Wilt thou not stand?], and the latter replies, بَلَى, he means بَلْ أَقُومُ [Nay, I will stand], adding the alif [written ى] to make the pause good; for if he said, بَلْ, the other would expect something more to be said after it. (TA.) It is said that the pronunciation termed imáleh is allowable in the case of بَلَى; and if so, its final radical letter is ى: and some of the grammarians say that this pronunciation of بلى is because, by reason of its completeness and independence of meaning, so that it requires nothing after it, it resembles independent nouns, in the cases of which this pronunciation is allowable. (M.) بِلْيَةٌ and بَلِىٌّ and بَلِيَّةٌ: see art. بلو.

عس

ى1 عَسَى is [said by some to be] one of the verbs of appropinquation, implying eager desire, or hope, and fear, and not perfectly inflected, for it is applied in the form of the preterite to that which occurs in the present: one says عَسَى زَيْدٌ

أَنْ يَخْرُجَ [meaning, accord. to what has been said above, Zeyd is near to going forth, though generally otherwise expl., as will be shown in what follows], and عَسَتْ فُلَانَةُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ [Such a woman is near to going forth]; زَيْدٌ being the agent of عَسَى, and أَنْ يَخْرُجَ being its objective complement and meaning الخُرُوجَ: and one says also, عَسَيْتُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذَاكَ [as meaning, accord. to what here precedes, I am near to doing that], and عَسِيتُ, with kesr, agreeably with readings [in the Kur xlvii. 24], فَهَلْ عَسِيتُمْ and عَسَيْتُمْ, with kesr and fet-h; and one says to a woman, عَسَيْتِ أَنْ تَفْعَلِى ذَاكَ; and [to women,] عَسَيْتُنَّ; but one does not use the form يَفْعَلُ thereof, nor the form فَاعِلٌ; (S;) both of which [however] are memtioned [as used] by the author of the “ Insáf: ” (I 'Ak p. 88:) [or, accord. to Fei,] عَسَى is a preterite verb, [used in the sense of the present,] aplastic, not perfectly inflected, of the verbs of appropinquation, implying hope, and eager desire, and sometimes opinion, and certainty; and it is incomplete [i. e. non-attributive], and complete [i. e. attributive]: the incomplete has for its predicate an aor. mansoob by means of أَنْ, as in the saying, عَسَى زَيْدٌ أَنْ يَقُومَ, meaning قَارَبَ زَيْدٌ القِيَامَ [Zeyd is near to standing], the predicate being an objective complement or having the meaning of an objective complement: or, as some say, the meaning is لَعَلَّ زَيْدًا أَنْ يَقُومَ, i. e. [virtually, but not literally,] I eagerly desire, or I hope, that Zeyd may be performing the act of standing: [but see عَلَّ and لَعَلَّ in art. عل, as well as what follows in this paragraph after the explanation of the next ex.:] the complete is such as occurs in the saying, عَسَى أَنْ يَقُومَ زَيْدٌ [meaning, accord. to what is said above, Zeyd's standing is near to being a fact]; the agent being literally a phrase composed of a subject and an attribute because أَنْ is here what is termed مَصْدَرِيَّة [so that أَنْ يَقُومَ زَيْدٌ is equivalent to قِيَامُ زَيْدٍ]: (Msb:) b2: [in the MA and PS and TK &c., عَسَى is expl. as meaning It may be that; and this, or simply may-be, or may-hap, or perhaps, I regard as the preferable rendering; as being virtually the meaning in all cases: for عَسَى زَيْدٌ أَنْ يَقُومَ, in which it is used as an incomplete verb, however it may be rendered, virtually means It may be that Zeyd is, or will be, standing; or may-be Zeyd &c.: and عَسَى أَنْ يَقُومَ زَيْدٌ, in which it is used as a complete verb, virtually means the same, though more properly rendered Zeyd's standing may be a fact: its usages are various, and have occasioned much dispute respecting its grammatical character and its meaning or meanings; as will be shown by what here follows:] b3: it is [said to be] a verb unrestrictedly, or a particle unrestrictedly: (K:) [but this statement seems to have originated from a mistranscription: IHsh says,] it is a verb unrestrictedly: not a particle unrestrictedly, contrary to the opinion of Ibn-Ks-Sarráj and Th; nor when it has an affixed pronoun, as in عَسَاكَ, contrary to an opinion of Sb, ascribed to him by Seer: (Mughnee:) it denotes hope in the case of that which is liked, and fear in the case of that which is disliked; as in the saying in the Kur [ii. 213], وَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى

أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ [But it may be that ye dislike a thing when it is good for you, and it may be that ye like a thing when it is evil for you]: (Mughnee, K: *) b4: it is used in various ways; one of which is the saying, عَسَى زَيْدٌ أَنْ يَقُومَ [mentioned above], respecting the analysis of which there are different opinions: that of the generality is, that it is like كَانَ زَيْدٌ يَقُومُ [inasmuch as عسى is here an incomplete verb]; but this is deemed dubious, because the predicate [أَنْ يَقُومَ] is rendered by an inf. n., and the subject [زَيْدٌ] is a substance; to which several replies have been made; one being that a prefixed noun is meant to be understood, either before the subject, so that the meaning is, عَسَى أَمْرُ زَيْدٍ القِيَامُ [It may be that the case of Zeyd is, or will be, the performing of the act of standing], or before the predicate, so that the meaning is عَسَى زَيْدٌ صَاحِبُ القِيَامِ [It may be that Zeyd is, or will be, the performer of the act of standing]; and another reply is, that it is of the class of زَيْدٌ عَدْلٌ and صَوْمٌ [meaning عَادِلٌ and صَائِمٌ, for أَنْ يَقُومَ is equivalent to an inf. n., and an inf. n. may be used in the sense of an act. part. n.]; and another is, that أَنْ is here redundant, which reply is [said to be] nought, because ان has rendered the aor. ansoob, and because it seldom falls out [from the phrase, though it should be remarked that لَعَلَّ, which is said in the Mughnee to be like عَسَى in meaning, is generally followed by a simple aor. and sometimes by أَنْ and an aor. ]: another opinion respecting the analysis of the phrase is, that عَسَى is a trans. verb, like قَارَبَ in meaning and in government, [agreeably with the explanations mentioned above from the S and Msb,] or intrans. like قَرُبَ مِنْ with the preposition suppressed; and this is the opinion of Sb and Mbr: the opinion of the generality is, that it is an incomplete verb [like كَانَ in the phrase كَانَ زَيْدٌ يَقُومُ, mentioned above], and that أَنْ and the verb following it compose a substitute of implication supplying what is wanting in the two preceding portions of the sentence: b5: the second way of using it is, the making it to have أَنْ and the verb following this for its object, [as in عَسَى أَنْ يَقُومَ زَيْدٌ, mentioned above], so that it is a complete verb: b6: the third and fourth and fifth are when it is followed by a simple aor. [being in this case likened to كَادَ, (S, K, * TA.)] or an aor. with س prefixed, or a single noun; as in عَسَى زَيْدٌ يَقُومُ [It may be that Zeyd stands, or will stand] and عَسَى زَيْدٌ سَيَقُومُ [It may be that Zeyd will stand] and عَسَى زَيْدٌ قَائِمٌ [It may be that Zeyd is standing]; the first whereof is one of which there are few exs., such as the saying, عَسَى الكَرْبُ الَّذِى أَمْسَيْتَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ وَرَآءَهُ فَرَجٌ قَرِيبُ [It may be that the state of anxiety in which thou hast become (or, as some relate it, أَمْسَيْتُ i. e. I hare become,) is such that after it will be a near removal thereof]; and the third is one of which there are fewer exs., [and which is said in the S to be not allowable,] such as the saying, أَكْثَرْتَ فِى العَذْلِ مُلِحًّا دَائِمَا لَا تُكْثِرَنْ إِنِّى عَسِيتُ صَائِمَا [or, as some relate it, عَسَيْتُ, which is more common, i. e. Thou hast been profuse in censuring, persisting constantly: be not thou profuse: verily it may be that I am, or shall be, abstaining]; and as to the prov., عَسَى الغُوَيْرُ أَبْؤُسًا [expl. in art. بأس, and of which it is said in the K that the verb therein is used in the manner of كَانَ, and in the S that the phrase is extr., that ابؤسا is there put in the place of the predicate, and that there sometimes occurs in provs. what does not occur elsewhere], the right opinion is that يَكُونُ is suppressed before ابؤسا; and [in the latter of the two verses cited above] أَكُونُ is suppressed before صائما; because thus the primary usage is preserved, and because what is hoped is the person's being an abstainer, not the abstainer him-self; and as to the second of the three modes of using عَسَى last mentioned above, with س prefixed to the aor. , it is very extr.: b7: the sixth way of using it is the saying عَسَانِى and عَسَاكَ and عَسَاهُ, which is rare: in this case, accord. to Sb, it is used in the manner of لَعَلَّ, as governing the subject in the accus. case, and the predicate in the nom.; the predicate being sometimes expressed, in the nom. case, as in the saying, فَقُلْتُ عَسَاهَا نَارُ كَأْسٍ وَعَلَّهَا تَشَكَّى فَآتِى نَحْوَهَا فَأَعُودُهَا [And I said, May-be it is the fire of Ka-s, (for I suppose that كأس is here a proper name, that of a woman, daughter of El-Kelhabeh El-'Oranee,) and perhaps she has a complaint, (تَشَكَّى being for تَبَشَكَّى,) so I will come towards her, and visit her]: b8: the seventh way is the saying, عَسَى زَيْدٌ قَائِمٌ, mentioned by Th; which is to be explained on the ground that عسى is here an incomplete verb, and that its subject is the ضَمِيرُ الشَّأْنِ [i. e.

إِنَّهُ is suppressed, the meaning being, It may be that the case is this, Zeyd is standing], the nominal proposition being the predicate. (Mughnee. [Several other statements in that work, respecting عَسَى, I have omitted, as being refuted therein, or as being of little or no importance.]) b9: It also denotes opinion, (Msb,) or doubt, (K, TA,) and certainty: (Msb, K, TA:) the last is meant in the saying of Ibn-Mukbil, ظَنِّى بِهِمْ كَعَسَى وَهُمْ بِتَنُوفَةٍ

يَتَنَازَعُونَ جَوَائِزَ الأَمْثَالِ [My opinion of them is like an expression of certainty while they, in a desert, or in a desert destitute of water or of herbage and water, &c., are contending in reciting current proverbs instead of attending to the wants of themselves and their camels]. (S, TA.) b10: As uttered by God, it is expressive of an event of necessary occurrence, (S, K,) in the whole of the Kur-án, except the saying, [in lxvi. 5,] عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طّلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ

أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًــا مِنْكُنَّ [It may be that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in exchange wives better than you]. (S.) b11: هَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ with what follows it, in the Kur [ii. 247], means [virtually] Are ye near to fleeing? (K:) some read thus; and some, عَسِيتُمْ. (TA.) A2: عَسِىَ النَّبَاتُ [erroneously written in the CK عَسَى]: see the first sentence in art. عسو.4 أَعْسِ بِهِ means How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, or how worthy, is he! (Lh, K, TA.) بِالعَسَى أَنْ تَفْعَلَ means بِالحَرَى [i. e. It is suitable, fit, or proper, that thou shouldst do such a thing]. (K. [In the CK, and likewise in the TK, erroneously, بالعَسِىِّ and بالحَرِىِّ.]) A2: عَسًا: see art. عسو.
