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.) الّٰهُمَّ خِرْلِى occurs in a trad., meaning O God, choose for me the better of the two things. (TA.) b3: See also 8. b4: خَارَهُ عَلَى

(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.

(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. (TA.) 5 تــخيّر, as an intrans. v.: see 2.

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, خِيرَــة (S, Msb, K) or خِيَرَــة (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 الــخَيْرِ 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 الــخَيْرِ وَالــخِيرِ is explained voce خِيرٌ.

عَلَىيَدَىِ الــخَيْرِ 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 وَــخَيْرًــا 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 خَيْرَــةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَــاتٌ, (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 خَيِّرَــةٌ and خَيْرَــةٌ, (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 خَيْرَــى, and ↓ خُورَى, and ↓ خِيَرى: and the fem. of the first is خَيْرَــةٌ; and of the second, ↓ خَيِّرَــةٌ: (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 خَيْرَــةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَــاتٌ: (Msb:) خِيَارٌ is contr. of أَشْرَارٌ, (S, Mgh,) [thus] used as an epithet: (Mgh:) and ↓ خَيْرَــةٌ [used as a subst.] signifies anything excellent; and the pl. thereof in this sense, خَيْرَــاتٌ, occurs in the Kur, ix. 89: (S:) or خَيْرٌ, (K,) or the fem. خَيْرَــةٌ, (Lth,) or each, (K.) signifies excellent in beauty: (Lth, K:) and ↓ خَيِّرٌ and خَيِّرَــةٌ signify excellent in righteousness (Lth, K) and religion: (K:) or there is no difference in the opinion of the lexicologists [in general] between خَيْرَــةٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَــةٌ: (Az:) accord. to Zj, خَيْرَــاتٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَــاتٌ, both occurring in different readings of the Kur, lv. 70, signify good in dispositions: accord. to Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, خَيْرَــةٌ, 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 الــخَيْرُ, 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 الــخَيْرِ [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 أَــخْيَرُ 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 أَــخْيَرُ [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 خَيْرَــةُ: [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 ↓ أَــخْيَرُ [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 ↓ أَــخْيَر, 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 أَــخْيَرُ مِنْكَ, like خَيْرُ; and when you mean the signification of superiority, you say فُلَانٌ خَيْرَــةٌ النَّاسِ, with ة, and فُلَانَةُ خَيْرُــهُمْ, 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 الــخَيْرَــةُ مِنَ المَرْأَتَيْنِ [Such a woman is the better of the two women]: and هِىَ الــخَيْرَــةُ, and ↓ الــخِيرَــةُ, [so in the TA, but in the CK الــخِيَرَــةُ,] and ↓ الــخِيرَــى, and ↓ الخُورَى, [the last being fem. of أَــخْيَرُ, originally خُيْرَــى, 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 خِيرَــانٌ, of خَيْرٌ thus used; and ↓ أَخَايِرُ is pl. of أَــخْيَرُ, and so is أَــخْيَرُــونَ applied to rational beings: in the TA, أَخَايِرُ is said to be a pl. pl. of أَــخْيَرُ, and so خِيرَــانٌ; 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 ↓ خِيرَــتُهَا, [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 خِيرَــةَ and إِبِلِهِ ↓ خُورَةَ [He slaughtered the best of his camels]: (IAar, TA:) and ↓ هُمُ الأَــخْيَرُــونَ [They (meaning men) are the better, or best]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) A2: مَا خَيْرَ for مَا أَــخْيَرَ: see 4, in two places.

A3: خَيْرُ بَوَّآءُ [from the Persian خِيرْــبُوَا 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 وَالــخِيرِ ↓ أَهْلِ الــخَيْرِ [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.

خَيْرَــةٌ fem. of خَيْرٌ [q. v.] used as an epithet: pl. خَيْرَــاتٌ. (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.

خِيرَــةٌ: see خَيْرٌ, in three places, towards the end of the paragraph: b2: and see خِيَرَــةٌ, in four places: b3: and خِيَارٌ. b4: It is also a subst. from خَارَاللّٰهُ لَكَ فِىهٰذَاالأَمْرِ, (S,) and so ↓ خِيَرَــةٌ; 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 خِيرَــةً مِنَ اللّٰهِ [That was through God's blessing, prospering, or favour; &c.: or through God's choosing the better thing in the affair]. (A.) خِيَرَــةٌ and ↓ خِيرَــةٌ (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 خِيَرَــةُ اللّٰهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ and ↓ خِيرَــتُهُ [Mohammad is the chosen, or elect, of God, from his creatures]: (S, Mgh: *) or ↓ خِيرَــةٌ is a subst. from الاِخْتِيَارٌ, like فِدْيَةٌ from الاِفْتِدَآءُ; and خِيَرَــةٌ is syn. with خِيَارٌ and اِخْتِيَارٌ; or is from تَــخَيَّرْــتُ الشَّىْءَ: or, as some say, خِيرَــةٌ and خِيَرَــةٌ are syn.: (Msb:) see 8; and see also خِيَارٌ: and ↓ هٰذِهِ خِيرَــتِى (Msb, TA) or خِيَرَــتِى (TA) means This is what I choose; (Msb, (TA;) and so هٰذَا خيرتى: and هٰؤُلَآءِ خيرتى

(As, in TA, art. شخر.) You also say of a woman نَخَرَتْ, aor. ـُ and نَخِرَ, (L,) or نَخَرَ, (so in the TA,) meaning, She made the same noise, [i. e., she snorted,] in the act of concubitus, as though she were possessed.

(A.) Of the two readings, in the Kur, [lxxix. 11,] عِظَامًا نَاخِرَةً and عِظَامًا نَخِرَةً, Fr prefers the former, as agreeable in form with the words ending the other verses; and he says that نَاخِرَةٌ and نَخِرَةٌ are the same in meaning, like طَامِعٌ and طَمِعٌ.

مَنْخِرٌ, [the most common form,] originally, The place of the sound termed نَــخِيرٌ. See 1. (Msb.) b2: And hence, (Msb,) The hold of the nose; the nostril; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ مِنْخِرٌ, (T, S, Msb, K,) with kesr to the م to agree with the vowel of the خ, like as they say مِنْتِنٌ [for مُنْتِنٌ], (S, Msb,) both of which words are extr., as مِفْعِلٌ is not one of the [regular] measures, (S,) and it is said that there is no word of this measure beside these two, (Msb,) or ↓ مِنْخِرٌ is for ↓ مِنْــخِيرٌ, and in like manner مِنْتِنٌ is for مِنْتِينٌ, which is the original form, (T, TA,) and ↓ مِنْخَرٌ and ↓ مُنْخُرٌ (K) and ↓ مُنْخُورٌ, (S, Msb, K,) like عُصْفُورٌ (Msb) and مُلْمُولٌ, (K, [in the CK, erroneously, مَلْمُول]) which last is [said to be] of the dial. of Teiyi, (Msb,) and said to occur in a verse of Gheylán, but IB says that the right reading is مَنْحُور, with ح, syn. with نَحْرٌ: (Sgh, in art. نحر; and L, in the present art.) pl. مَنَاخِرُ and مَنَاخِيرُ; (Msb;) [the latter irreg., unless pl. of مِنْــخِيرٌ or مُنْخُورٌ.]

(ISh, O, TA. *) b10: عَقَبَهُ and ↓ عقّبهُ and ↓ اعقبهُ signify also He took, or received, from him something in exchange, an exchange, a substitute, or an equivalent, for another thing: it is said in a trad., إِنْ لَمْ يَقْرُوهُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَعْقُبَهُمْ بِمِثْلِ قِرَاهُ If they entertain him not. he shall have a right to take from them as a substitute the like of his entertainment which they denied him: and one says also مِنْهُ خَيْرًــا ↓ استعقب, or شَرًّا, He took, or received, from him in exchange good, or evil: (TA:) and عَقَبَ الرَّجُلَ, aor. ـُ He took from the man's property the like of what he (the latter) had taken from him. (O, * TA.) After the words in the Kur lx. 11, وَإِنْ فَاتَكُمْ شَىْءٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ إِلَى الْكُفَّارِ, there are three different readings, ↓ فَعَاقَبْتُمْ, and ↓ فَعَقَّبْتُمْ, and فَعَقَبْتُمْ: (TA:) the first means and ye take, or carry off, spoil: (Masrook Ibn-El-Ajda', S, TA:) or the second has this meaning; and the first means and ye punish them so that ye take, or carry off, spoil: and the third means and ye have a requital: the second is the best; and the third is also good; but the second has a more intensive meaning: (Aboo-Is-hák the Grammarian, L, TA:) accord. to Fr, the first and second signify the same: (L, TA:) and As says that عَقْبٌ [inf. n. of عَقَبَ] is syn. with عِقَابٌ [inf. n. of عَاقَبَ; but whether with reference to this case, I do not find]. (TA.) b11: And عَقَبَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. عَقْبٌ, also signifies He sought, or sought after, wealth, or some other thing. (TA.)

(TA. [See also 4.]) A4: [The inf. n.]

العَقْبُ also signifies الرَّجْعُ, [which generally means The making, or causing, to return, or go back; but this may perhaps be a mistake for الرُّجُوعُ, for it is immediately added,] Dhu-rRummeh says, كَأَنَّ صِيَاحَ الكُدْرِ يَنْظُرْنَ عَقْبَنَا تَرَاطُنُ أَنْبَساطٍ عَلَيْهِ طَغَامِ meaning [As though the crying of the dusky she-camels] looking, or waiting, for our returning from watering that they might go to the water after us [were the barbarous talk of low, or ignoble, Nabathæans, over it, i. e. over the water].

(TA.) b5: عَقَّبَ فِى الشَّيْبِ بِأَخْلَاقٍ حَسَنَةٍ [app. means He had latterly, in the time of hoariness, good dispositions]. (O. [The meaning that I have assigned to this phrase seems to be there indicated by the context: but I incline to think that the right reading is عُقِّبَ, (assumed tropical:) lit. He was made to be followed, in hoariness, by good dispositions; agreeably with what next follows.]) b6: آتَى فُلَانٌ إِلَىَّ خَيْرًــا فَعُقِّبَ بِــخَيْرٍ مِنْهُ [means Such a one caused good to betide me, and it was made to be followed by what was better than it]. (A, TA. [In the former it is followed by the words وَأَرْدِفَ بِــخَيْرٍ مِنْهُ, evidently for the purpose of explanation.]) b7: [Hence,] one says, تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا تَعْقِيبٌ, meaning اِسْتِشْنَآءٌ [i. e. He gave an alms in which was no making an exception by following it up with a condition]. (S, A, O, Msb. *) b8: عَقَّبَنِى حَقِّى He delayed, or deferred, the giving, or paying, to me my due.

[See also 5.]) b10: And عقّب فِى الأَمْرِ He went repeatedly to and fro, or made repeated efforts, in seeking to accomplish the affair, striving, or exerting himself. (S, O, L, TA.) In the K, التَّعْقِيبُ [the inf. n.] is expl. as signifying التَّرَدُّدُ فِى طَلَبِ المَجْدِ: but the right reading is فِى طَلَبٍ مُجِدًّا. (TA.) [See also مُعَقِّبٌ.]

And in like manner you say, ↓ اِعْتَقَبُوهُ, and ↓ تَعَاقَبُوهُ They rode by turns with him, taking their turns after him. (TA.) b3: and عاقب بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ [He made an interchange, or alternation between the two things; he made the two things interchangeable, or commutable;] he brought, or did, the two things interchangeably, or alternately, i. e. one of them one time and the other of them another time.

(TA.) b5: [عاقبهُ as denoting consequence, and retaliation, or retribution, also signifies He punished him.] You say, عاقبهُ بِذَنْبِهِ, (S, Msb, * TA,) inf. n. عِقَابٌ (S, Msb, TA) and مُعَاقَبَةٌ, (Msb, TA,) He punished him for his crime, sin, fault, or offence: (S, * Msb, * TA:) and [in like manner] ↓ تعقّبهُ He punished him (i. e. a man, S, O) for a crime, a sin, a fault, or an offence, that he had committed. (S, O, K.) In the saying in the Kur [xvi. last verse but one], وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُمٌ بِهِ [And if ye punish, then punish ye with the like of that with which ye have been afflicted, lit. punished], the verb first denotes punishment, and is afterwards used for the purpose of assimilation: and similar to this is the saying in the same [xxii. 59], وَمَنْ عَاقَبَ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبَ بِهِ [And whoso punisheth with the like of that with which he hath been afflicted, lit. punished]. (O.) For another ex., from the Kur lx. 11, [where it implies retaliation or retribution,] see 1, latter half. [In like manner,] it is said in a trad., أَبْطَلَ النَّفْحَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُضْرَبَ فَيُعَاقِبَ [He made the kicking of a beast with the hind leg to be of no account unless it were beaten by its master, or rider, and retaliated by kicking another person]; meaning, he made nothing to be incumbent on the master of the beast unless the latter made the kicking to be a consequence of that [i. e. unless the beast kicked in consequence of its being beaten by the master, or rider]. (TA.) [See also 4, which has a similar meaning, that of requital.] b6: عُوقِبَتْ said of a mare means She was required to perform run after run. (Ham p. 277.) 4 اعقبهُ: see 1, first quarter, in three places: b2: and see 3, in three places. b3: [Also He made him to take his place. And hence,] He descended from his beast in order that he (another) might ride in his turn: and one says also أَعْقِبْ meaning Descend thou in order that I may ride in my turn: and in like manner with respect to any kind of action: thus, when the office of Khaleefeh became transferred from the sons of Umeiyeh to the Háshimees, Sudeyf, the poet of the 'Abbásees, said, أَعْقِبِى آلَ هَاشِمٍ يَا مَيَّا meaning Descend from the station of the Khaleefehs that the family of Háshim may mount, O Meiyà [for O sons of Umeiyeh]. (TA.) b4: [And It made a thing to follow as a consequence to him: the verb in this sense being doubly trans.] One says, اعقبهُ نَدَمًا It occasioned him as its consequence repentance, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) and هَمًّا anxiety. (TA.) And أَكَلَ أَكْلَةً أَعْقَبَتْهُ سَقَمًا He ate a repast that occasioned him as its consequence a sickness. (S, O.) And [hence] أُعْقِبَ عِزُّهُ ذُلًّا His might was exchanged for, or changed into, [lit. made to be followed by,] abasement. (TA.) See also 2, first quarter, for another ex. [Hence, likewise,] فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا, in the Kur [ix. 78], means [Therefore He caused hypocrisy to follow as a consequence to them; or] He caused them to err, because of their evil deed, as a punishment to them. (O.) And [in like manner] one says, أَعْقَبَهُ اللّٰهُ بِإِحْسَانِهِ خَيْرًــا [God gave him, or may God give him, as a recompense, or requital, for his beneficence, good, or prosperity]. (TA.) And اعقبهُ بِطَاعَتِهِ He recompensed, or requited, him for his obedience, (S, O, K, *) and عَلَى مَا صَنَعَ for what he did. (TA. [See also 3, which has a similar meaning, that of retribution.]) اعقبهُ خَيْرًــا means also He gave him in exchange good. (TA.) See also 1, latter half, where the verb is expl. in the contr. sense, that of taking, or receiving, in exchange. b5: اعقبهُ الطَّائِفُ The diabolical visitation, or insanity, returned to him at times. (S, O.) b6: اعقب طَىَّ البِئْرِ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا [is app. from

أَعْقَابُ الطَّىِّ (see عَقِبٌ), and] means He laid stones compactly together at the back [behind the regular casing] of the well. (TA. [See also 1, near the end.]) A2: اعقب as intrans., He (a man) died, and left offspring. (S, O, K.) One says, أَعْقَبَ مِنْهُمْ رَجُلَانِ وَدَرَجَ وَاحِدٌ [Two men of them died and left offspring, and one died and left no offspring]: and Tufeyl El-Ghanawee says, كَرِيمَةُ حُرِّ الوَجْهِ لَمْ تَدْعُ هَالِكًا

↓ مِنَ القَوْمِ هُلْكًا فِى غَدٍ غَيْرَ مُعْقِبِ [A female noble of countenance, (or whose nobility was manifest in what appeared of her countenance,) she did not invoke one of the people dead, on a morrow after an engagement, as having perished without leaving a successor, or one to fill his place:] i. e. when a chief of her people died, another chief came; so that she did not bewail a chief who had not his equal. (TA.) b2: He (a borrower of a cooking-pot) returned a cooking-pot with the remains termed عُقْبَة in it. (S, O, K.) b3: He (a man) returned from evil to good. (TA.) b4: اعقب عَلَيْهِ يَضْرِبُهُ He set upon him beating him. (O.) b5: أَعْقَبَتْ رَاحِلَتُكَ Thy riding-camel became, or has become, jaded, or fatigued. (O.) 5 تعقّب He looked to the consequence, end, issue, or result: and he considered a second time. (TA. [See also 2, last quarter.]) b2: تعقّب مِنْ أَمْرِهِ He repented of his affair. (TA.) b3: تعقّب عَنِ الخَبَرِ He doubted of the information, or questioned it, and asked again respecting it. (S, O, K, TA. [In my copies of the S, and in the O, الــخَيْرِ: but see what follows; in which مُتَعَقَّب is used as a noun of place of the verb in this sense.]) Tufeyl says, ↓ وَلَمْ يَكُ عَمَّا خَبَّرُوا مُتَعَقَّبُ [And there was no place of, or ground for, doubting, and asking again, respecting what they told]. (S, O, TA.) And one says, لَمْ أَجِدْ عَنْ قَوْلِكَ

↓ مُتَعَقَّبًا, (A, TA,) i. e. [I found not] any place of, or ground for, inquiring into, or investigating, thy saying; syn. مُتَفَحَّصًا; (A, TA;) [or questioning it; or returning to examine it;] meaning, thy saying was right and true, so that it did not require التَّعَقُّب; (A;) or I did not allow myself to doubt, and ask again, respecting it, that I might see whether I should do what thou saidst or abstain from it. (TA.) b4: [And the verb is used transitively in a similar sense.] You say, تعقّب الخَبَرَ He searched after the information repeatedly, or time after time; (Mgh, * TA;) syn. تَتَبَّعَ: (Mgh, TA:) and ↓ اعتقب has a like meaning. (Ham p. 287.) And He asked respecting the information another person than the one whom he asked the first time. (A, TA.) b5: and تَعَقَّبْتُ الرَّجُلَ I sought to discover in the man that which he would be ashamed to expose; or the slip, or fault, that he had committed: and ↓ اِسْتَعْقَبْتُهُ signifies the same. (O, K. *) [In critical observations and the like, تعقّبهُ is often used as meaning He found fault with him; animadverted upon him; or impugned his judgment or assertion; بِقَوْلِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا by his saying so and so. and تعقّب عَلَيْهِ seems to be similarly used as meaning He animadverted upon his saying: (compare اِعْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ:) but more commonly as meaning he animadverted upon it, i. e. a saying, and the like.] b6: See also 3, near the middle of the para-graph. b7: تعقّب الأَمْرَ He thought repeatedly upon the affair, or case. (TA in art. روأ.) b8: تعقّب رَأْيَهُ He found his opinion to have a good issue, or result. (S, O. [See a somewhat similar signification of 8 and 10, under the former.]) b9: See also 1, second sentence. b10: [The saying of Aboo-Thumámeh, وَإِنْ مَنْطِقٌ زَلَّ عَنْ صَاحِبِى ↓ تَعَقَّبْتُ آخَرَ ذَا مُعْتَقَبْ may be rendered, nearly in accordance with an explanation by Et-Tebreezee, And if a speech slip by mistake from my companion, 1 substitute another having superiority: or تعقّبت may here mean I search out: but see the Ham p. 287; where are some remarks, on this verse, that appear to me to be fanciful and far-fetched.]6 يَتَعَاقَبَانِ (T, S, O, Msb, TA) They follow each other [by turns]; or alternate; (T, Msb, TA;) one coming and the other going; (TA;) said of the night and the day; (T, Msb;) or as the night and the day; (S, O, TA;) as also ↓ يَعْتَقِبَانِ. (TA.) You say, تَعَاقَبَ المُسَافِرَانِ عَلَى الدَّابَّةِ The two travellers rode upon the beast, each of them in his turn. (TA: and the like is said in the Msb.) And تعاقبا عَمَلًا They two did a work, or deed, by turns, or alternately: syn. اِرْتَوَحَاهُ, (K and TA in art. روح,) and تَرَاوَحَاهُ (TA in that art.) And تعاقبا They helped each other by turns. (TA.) And بِالضَّرْبِ ↓ يَعْتَقبَانِهِ They two ply him by turns with beating (A.) See also 3, near the beginning. التَّعَاقُبُ also signifies The coming to water [by turns, or] time after time. (TA.) 8 إِعْتَقَبَ see 1, former half, in two places: b2: and see 3, near the beginning, in two places; and 6, also in two places. b3: [اعتقبهُ signifies also He took it, or had it, subsequently. Thus one of the meanings of العُقْبَةُ is expl. in the A and TA by the words مَا يَعْتَقِبُونَهُ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ مِنَ الحَلَاوَةِ i. e. What they have, or take, after the main portion of the meal, consisting of sweetmeat. b4: And He had it, or experienced it, as a consequence of an act &c.: and that it may have ↓ مُعْتَقَبُ for an inf. n. in this sense (as well as in other senses agreeably with analogy) seems to be meant by its being said (in the Ham p. 287) that المُعْتَقَبُ signifies أَخْذُ عُقْبَةِ الشَّىْءِ i. e. آخِرِهِ. See also a somewhat similar signification of 5.] One says, فَعَلْتُ كَذَا فَاعْتَقَبْتُ مِنْهُ نَدَامَةً i. e. [I did such a thing and] I found, or experienced, in consequence thereof repentance; (S, O;) as also ↓ اِسْتَعْقَبْتُ. (A, O.) And مِنْ كَذَا خَيْرًــا ↓ استعقب He found, or experienced, in consequence of such a thing, or after such a thing, good. (T, Msb.) And hence, perhaps, the saying of the lawyers, يَصِحُّ الشِّرَآءُ عِتْقًا ↓ إِذَا اسْتَعْقَبَ [as meaning The sale, or purchase, is valid when it has emancipation as an after-event]: but this does not agree with the former phrase unless by a far-fetched interpretation; and therefore one should say, إِذَا عَقَبَهُ العِتْقُ i. e. when emancipation follows it. (Msb.) b5: اعتقب also signifies He withheld, or detained, a thing in his possession. (TA.) And [particularly] He (a seller) withheld, or detained, an article of merchandise from the purchaser until he should receive the price: (S, A, O, K:) for the doing of which he is said in a trad. to be responsible; meaning, if it perish in his keeping. (S, A, O.) And He detained, confined, or imprisoned, a man. (S, O.) b6: See also 5.10 إِسْتَعْقَبَ see the next preceding paragraph, in three places: b2: and see also 1, latter half: b3: and 5. b4: [Accord. to Reiske, as mentioned by Freytag, استعقبهُ signifies also He followed his footsteps.]

عَقْبٌ: see عَقِبٌ, in eight places.

عُقْبٌ: see عَقِبٌ, in seven places.

عَقَبٌ The عَصَب [meaning sinews, or tendons,] of which أَوْتَار [i. e. strings for bows or the like] are made: (S, O, K: [see also 1, last quarter:]) n. un. with 3: (S, O:) or such as are white of the أَطْنَاب of the joints; (Mgh, Msb; [see عَصَبٌ;]) the عَصَب being such as are yellow: (Mgh and Msb in art. عصب:) accord. to IAth, the عَصَب [or sinews, or tendons,] of the two portions of flesh next the back-bone on either side, and of the سَاقَانِ and وَظِيفَانِ [meaning the hind and fore shanks], that are intermingled with the flesh, of any animal; the half of one whereof, divided lengthwise from the other half, is extended, or drown out, and trimmed, and cleansed of the flesh, and the وَتَر [or string for the bow or the like] is made thereof; and they are sometimes in the two sides of the camel; but [properly speaking] there is a difference between the عَصَب and the عقَب; the former being such as incline to yellow, whereas the latter incline to white, and are the harder, and firmer, or stronger, of the two: AHn says, on the authority of Aboo-Ziyád, that the عَقَب are [the sinews, or tendons,] of the two portions of flesh next the back-bone on either side, of the sheep or goat, and of the camel, and of the ox or cow,(TA.) [See also عِلْبَآءٌ.]

عَقِبٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ عَقْبٌ, (Msb, TA,) the latter being a contraction of the former, (Msb,) [The heel of a human being;] the hinder part of the foot of a human being: (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) of the fem. gender: (S, O, Msb:) pl. [of pauc.] أَعْقُبٌ (TA) and [of mult. as well as of pauc.] أَعْقَابٌ: (Msb, TA:) and ↓ عَقِيبٌ is said to signify the same; but MF cites an assertion that this is a word of a bad dialect. (TA.) وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ [Wo to the heels from the fire of Hell], (O, Msb, TA,) and ويل لِلْعَقِبِ من النّار [Who to the heel &c.], (TA,) occurring in a trad., means wo to him who neglects the washing of the heels in the ablution preparatory to prayer. (O, * Msb, TA. *) عَقِبُ الشَّيْطَانِ, (O, Msb, TA,) or, as some say, ↓ عُقْبَةُ الشيطان, (Msb, TA,) with damm, (TA,) which is forbidden in prayer, is expl. as meaning The placing the buttocks upon the heels between the two prostrations; which is what some term الإِقْعَآءُ: (Mgh, * O, Msb, TA:) so says A'Obeyd: (Msb:) or, accord. to some, this means the leaving the heels unwashed in the ablution preparatory to prayer. (O.) وَطِئَ النَّاسُ عَقِبَ فُلَانٍ [lit. The people trod upon the heel of such a one] means the people walked after, or near after, such a one: and in like manner, هُوَ مُوَطَّأُ العَقِبِ [lit. He is one whose heel is trodden upon]: (O, TA; *) because of his having command over people, and their being submissive to him: (O:) the latter phrase means he is one who has many followers: (A, TA: [see also art. وطأ:]) جَآءَ زَيْدٌ يَطَأُ عَقِبَ عَمْرٍو primarily signifies Zeyd came putting his foot in the place of the foot [or heel] of 'Amr every time that the latter raised his foot. (Msb.) And one says, مِنْ أَيْنَ عَقِبُكَ, (A, O,) or مِنْ أَيْنَ كَانَ عَقِبُكَ, (TA,) meaning Whence camest thou? or Whence hast thou come? (A, O, TA.) and رَجَعَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى عَقِبِهِ Such a one returned by the way of his heel; i. e., by the way that was behind him, and whence he had come; quickly. (Msb.) And وَلَّى عَلَى عَقِبِهِ, and عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ, He turned back, or receded, from a thing to which he had betaken himself. (TA.) لَا تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ, occurring in a trad., means Turn not thou them back to their former condition of not emigrating [for the sake of religion]: and مَا زَالُوا مُرْتَدِّينَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ, in another trad., means They ceased not to return to infidelity: as though they went back wards. (TA.) b2: The عَقِب of the نَعْل [or sandal] is The part [or wide strap] that embraces the heel. (AO, in an anom. MS. in my possession.) b3: [And عَقِبُ البَابِ means The pivot (generally of wood) at the bottom of the door, turning in a socket in the threshold.] b4: and عَقِبٌ and ↓ عَقْبٌ (TA) and ↓ عُقُبٌ and ↓ عُقْبٌ (S, O, Msb, K, TA) and ↓ عُقْبَى and ↓ عُقْبَةٌ and ↓ عُقْبَانٌ and ↓ عِقْبَانٌ and ↓ عَاقِبٌ (TA) are syn. with ↓ عَاقِبَةٌ, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) which signifies, (S, O, Msb, K,) i. e. as signifying, (TA,) The end; or the last, or latter, part or state; [but generally as explanatory of this last word, and often as explanatory of عُقُبٌ and عُقْبٌ and عُقْبَى, as meaning the consequence, or result, or issue;] of anything: (S, O, Msb, K, TA:) [and the same words, app. with the exception of عُقْبَى and عَاقِبَةٌ, signify also a time, or state, of subsequence:] the pl. [of the first four words is أَعْقَابٌ, and] of the last عَوَاقِبُ. (TA.) Hence, (S,) it is said in the Kur [xviii. 42], ↓ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَــخَيْرٌ عُقُبًا [or ↓ عُقْبًا or ↓ عُقْبَى, accord. to different readings, i. e. He is the best in respect of recompense, or reward, and the best in respect of consequence, or result, or issue; i. e., the consequence of the actions &c. of believers]. (S, O.) And in the same [xci. last verse], ↓ وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا i. e. And He feareth not the consequence thereof. (Th, TA.) And they said, لَكَ فِى الــخَيْرِ ↓ العُقْبَى meaning العَاقِبَةُ [i. e. May the end to thee be in that which is good; or may thy case end in good]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., سَافَرَ فِى عَقِبِ رَمَضَانَ, (T, O, Msb,) meaning He journeyed in the end, or the last, or latter, part, of Ramadán: (T, Msb:) or, when Ramadán had almost ended. (O.) One says, جِئْتُ فِى عَقِبِ رَمَضَانَ, (ISk, S, O, * Msb, *) with kesr to the ق, (ISk, S,) meaning [I came] when there was somewhat remaining of Ramadán. (ISk, S, O, * Msb.) And جِئْتُكَ فِى عَقِبِ الشَّهْرِ, and ↓ فى عَقْبِهِ, and عَلَى عَقِبِهِ, I came to thee in the latter part of the month, when ten days of it, or less, remained. (L.) هُوَ فِى عَقِبِ المَرَضِ He is in the state of convalescence in which somewhat remains of the disease: (Msb:) and فِى أَعْقَابِ المَرَضِ in the [state in which there are some] remains of the disease. (TA.) One says also, جَآءَ فِى عَقِبِهِ and ↓ عَقْبِهِ, meaning He came after him; or near after him; [as though at his heel; and hence, properly, close after him;] and جَآءَ عَقِبَهُ; from the phrase جَآءَ زَيْدٌ يَطَأُ عَقِبَ عَمْرٍو, meaning as expl. above. (Msb.) And بَنُو فُلَانٍ سَقْىُ إِبِلِهِمْ عَقِبَ بَنِى فُلَانٍ i. e. [The sons of such a one, the watering of their camels is] after [that of] the sons of such a one; a saying mentioned by ISk. (Msb.) And صَلَّيْنَا أَعْقَابَ الفَرِيضَةِ تَطَوُّعًا i. e. [We performed prayer] after the obligatory [by way of supererogation]. (Lh, IF, Msb, TA.) And جِئْتُ فِى عَقِبِ الشَّهْرِ i. e. I came after the month had passed. (El-Fárábee, Msb.) And خَلَفَ فُلَانٌ بعَقِبِى Such a one remained, or stayed, after me. (Msb.) Er-Rázee says, in the Mukhtár es-Siháh, that he had found no authority in the T nor in the S for the phrase جَآءَ فُلَانٌ عقبَ فُلَانٍ

[app. عَقِبَ], meaning Such a one came after such a one, except a similar saying of ISk, cited by Az, in which عقبَ is expl. as signifying after. (TA.) [But if the word in question be عَقِبَ, sufficient authorities for its use in this sense have been cited above: though it seems from what here follows that عُقُبَ or عُقْبَ in this sense is preferable.] One says, شَهْرِ ↓ جِئْتُ فِى عُقْبِ رَمَضَانَ, (S,) or ↓ عُقُبِهِ, (O,) and ↓ عَلَى عُقْبِهِ and ↓ عُقُبِهِ, (L,) and ↓ فِى عُقْبَانِهِ, (S, O,) meaning I came when the whole of the month of Rama-dán had passed: (S, O, L:) and ↓ جِئْتُكَ عُقْبَ رَمَضَانَ I came to thee at the end of Ramadán: and مَمَرِّهِ ↓ جِئْتُ فُلَانًا عَلَى عُقْبِ and ↓ عُقُبِهِ and عَقِبِهِ and ↓ عُقْبَانِهِ I came to such a one after he had gone: and ذَاكَ ↓ أَتَيْتُكَ عَلَى عُقُبِ and عَقِبَ ذاك and ذاك ↓ عَقْبِ and ذاك ↓ عُقْبَانِ I came to thee after that: and قُدُومِهِ ↓ جِئْتُهُ عُقْبَ I came to him after his arrival. (Lh, TA.) One says also, آلِ فُلَانٍ ↓ فُلَانٌ يَسْتَقِى عَلَى عُقْبَةِ Such a one draws water after the family of such a one. (TA.) And MF mentions ↓ جِئْتُكَ عَلَى عَاقِبِهِ [app. meaning I came to thee after him, or it]: and Aboo-Mis-hal mentions [app. in this sense] ↓ عِقْبَانِهِ, with kesr. (TA.) b5: عَقِبٌ (S, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and ↓ عَقْبٌ (S, O, Msb, K) also signify The child, or children, (S, A, O, Msb, K,) of a man; (S, O;) as also ↓ عَاقِبَةٌ: (S, O, K:) and the child, or children, of the child or children, (S, A, O, Msb, K,) of a man: (S, O:) applied to such as remain after the father: (TA:) or a man's offspring; (Mgh;) and so ↓ عَاقِبَةٌ: (Msb:) or his male children: and, accord. to some of the lawyers, the children of the daughters [of a man, also]: (Mgh:) of the fem. gender, on the authority of Akh: (S, O:) pl. أَعْقَابٌ.

The Arabs say, لَا عَقِبَ لَهُ, meaning There is, or are, no male offspring remaining to him: (TA:) and ↓ لَيْسَتْ لِفُلَانٍ عَاقِبَةٌ There is, or are, to such a one, no [remaining] child, or children. (S, O, Msb.) b6: شَىْءٍ ↓ عَقْبُ [or عَقِبُ شَىْءٍ] signifies A thing, whatever it be, that follows, succeeds, comes after, or takes the place of, a thing; as the water of a well, and the blowing of the wind, and the flying of the sand-grouse (القَطَا), and the running of a horse. (TA. [See also عَاقِبٌ.]) b7: And عَقِبٌ, (IAar, IF, A, Msb,) or ↓ عَقْبٌ, (S, K,) or, as As says, each of these, some of the Arabs using the latter form, by way of contraction, (Msb,) A run after another run, (As, IF, S, Msb, K,) of a horse: (As, IF, S, Msb:) or the last, or latter, run, of a horse: (IAar, Msb:) or one says of a courser, هُوَ ذُوْ عَفْوٍ وَعَقِبٍ meaning He has a first run, and a subsequent, and more vehement, run: (A:) and ↓ عِقَابٌ is said in the L to have the first of these meanings: (TA:) or it is pl. of عَقْبٌ [or عَقِبٌ] as having that meaning: (Ham p. 358:) an ex. of it occurs in the following verse, (Ham, TA,) cited by IAar: (TA:) يَمْلَأُ عَيْنَيْكَ بِالفِنَآءِ وَيُرْ ضِيكَ عِقَابًا إِنْ شِئْتَ أَوْ نَزَقَا [That would satisfy thine eye by his beauty, in the area before the dwelling, and content thee by run after run, or by runs after runs, if thou wilt, or by lightness, or agility]: (Ham, TA:) [or it may be here an inf. n., (of 3,) meaning on an occasion of being required to perform run after run: (see 3, last sentence:)] or, accord. to IAar, the meaning in this instance is, by his owner's making, upon him, warring, or warring and plundering, expeditions time after time: (TA:) accord. to Kh, لَهُ عِقَابٌ, said of a horse, means he has a recovering of strength (جمام [i. e. جَمَامٌ]) after ceasing to run. (Ham ubi suprà.) b8: Hence, A reply: so in the saying, relating to him who stops, or breaks off, in speech, لَوْ كَانَ لَهُ عَقِبٌ لَتَكَلَّمَ [If he had a reply, assuredly he would have spoken]. (A, TA.) b9: See also عِقْبَةٌ.

And رَكِبَ عُقْبَةً He rode one turn: and رَكِبَ عُقْبَتَهُ He rode his turn, or in his turn. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., مَنْ مَشَى عَنْ دَابَّتِةِ عُقْبَةً فَلَهُ كَذَا Whoso walks a turn to a certain point, instead of his beast, to him shall be given such a thing. (TA.) عُقْبَةُ الأجِيرِ meansThe hired-man's turn to ride; when the hirer dismounts, for example in the morning, and he (the former) rides. (Mgh.)

إِنَّ عَلَىَّ عُقْبَةً أَقْضِيهَا لَسْتُ بِنَاسِيهَا وَلَا مُنْسِيهَا

[but this I would rather render, Verily I have incumbent on me a turn to pasture and water camels; and I perform it; I am not a neglecter thereof nor a delayer of it]; meaning I drive the camels which I pasture and water in my turn, and I tend them well: مُنْسِيهَا is for مُنْسِئِهَا, for the sake of the rhyme. (TA.) b5: Also The place in which one mounts a beast to ride [app. in his turn]. (TA.) b6: And The distance, or space, of two leagues; i. e. twice the distance termed فَرْسَخ: and the distance to which one journeys [app. from one halting-place to the next; i. e. a stage of a journey]: pl. as above: a poet says, خَوْدًا ضِنَاكًا لَا تَسِيرُ العُقَبَا [Soft, or tender, heavy in the hinder part, that will not perform men's marches]; meaning that she will not [or cannot] journey with men, because she will not endure the doing so on account of her soft and delicate life.

[But the origin of this I know not.]) b13: One says also, لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ عُقْبَةَ الصُّنْعِ, meaning I experienced from him, or it, difficulty: [as though lit. signifying, the result of the deed that I had done:] and [simply]

لَقِىَ مِنْهُ عُقْبَةً He experienced from him, or it, difficulty. (TA. [But in a copy of the A, and in my opinion correctly, the last word in this phrase is written ↓ عَقَبَةً: see عَقَبَةٌ, below.]) b14: And كُنْتُ مَرَّةً نُشْبَة وَأَنَا اليَوْمَ عُقْبَة, expl. by IAar as meaning I was such that, when I clung to a man, he experienced evil from me; but now I have reverted from being such, through weakness. (TA. [It is a prov., somewhat differently related in art. نشب, q. v.]) b15: See also the next paragraph, in four places.

عِقْبَةٌ (Lh, S, O, K) and ↓ عُقْبَةٌ, (Lh, O, K,) but the former is the more approved, (Lh, TA,) and عقب, (so in the TA, [app., if not a mistranscription, ↓ عَقِبٌ,]) A mark, sign, trace, impress, characteristic, or outward indication. (Lh, S, O, K.) One says, عَلَيْهِ عِقْبَةُ السَّرْوِ, (S, O,) and ↓ عُقْبَتُهُ, (O,) and الجَمَالِ, (S, O,) i. e. Upon him is the mark &c. [of generosity and manliness, and of beauty]. (S, O, K.) b2: عِقْبَةُ القَمَرِ and ↓ عَقْبَةُ القمر mean The return of the moon, when it has set, or disappeared, and then risen: (L:) [or the return of the moon after the change; for] one says, مَا يَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ إِلَّا عِقْبَةَ القَمَرِ, (S,) or ↓ عُقْبَةَ القمر, (so in the O,) meaning He does not that save once in each month: (S, O:) but, accord. to IAar, القَمَرِ ↓ عُقْبَةُ, with damm, is a certain star, or asterism, which is in conjunction with the moon once in the year; and عُقْبَةَ القَمَرِ means once in the year: so in the following verse, of one of the Benoo-'Ámir: لَا يُطْعِمُ المِسْكَ وَالكَافُورَ لِمَّتَهُ وَلَا الذَّرِيرَةَ إِلَّا عُقْبَةَ القَمَرِ [He will not apply to his hair that descends below the ear musk and camphor, nor the perfume called ذريرة, save once in the year]: or, as Lh relates it, عِقْبَةَ القمر: thus in the L; in which it is added that this saying of IAar requires consideration, because the moon cuts [a meridian of] the celestial sphere once in every month: but MF replies that it may be in conjunction with the said star only once in the year, as the moon's path varies in each successive month. (TA. [See also عَقْمَةٌ.]) A2: See also عَقْبَةٌ.

عَقَبَةٌ [A mountain-road;] a road in [or upon] a mountain: (Bd in xc. 11:) or a road in the upper part of a mountain: (Ham p. 287:) or a difficult place of ascent of the mountains: (K:) or it is in a mountain and the like thereof: (Msb:) or [it sometimes signifies] a long mountain that lies across the way, and over which the way therefore leads; long, or high, and very difficult; so called, too, when it is further impassable after it is ascended; rising high towards the sky, ascending and descending; most difficult of ascent; but sometimes its height is one [or uniform]; and its acclivity is in appearance like a wall: (TA:) [generally it means a road over, or up, or down, or over some part of, a mountain:] pl. عِقَابٌ. (S, O, Msb, K.) اِقْتَحَمَ العَقَبَةَ [properly signifying He attempted the mountain-road] is metaphorically used as meaning He entered upon a hard, or difficult, affair. (Bd in xc. 11.) See also عُقْبَةٌ, near the end. b2: It is also n. un. of عَقَبٌ [q. v.]. (S, O.) عُقْبَى: see عَقِبٌ, second quarter, in four places. b2: It occurs in a trad. respecting the prayer of fear; in which it is said of that prayer, كَانَتْ عُقْبَى [It was an affair of turns]; meaning that it was performed by one company after another; several companies performing it successively, by turns. (TA. [Compare عُقْبَةٌ as expl. in the third sentence of the paragraph on that word.]) b3: Also i. q. مرجع [app. مَرْجِعٌ i. e. A returning, &c.]. (TA.) b4: And The requital, or recompence, of an affair, or action. (S, O, K.) b5: See also عُقْبَةٌ, latter half, in two places.

عُقْبِىُّ الكَلَامِ i. q. عُقْمِىُّ الكَلَامِ, [the ب being app. a substitute for م,] i. e. Obscure speech or language, which men do not know. (TA in art. عقم.) عُقْبَانٌ: see عَقِبٌ, in four places.

رَجُلٌ عِقِبَّانٌ A rough, coarse, or rude, man; syn. غَلِيظٌ: pl. عقبان [so in the TA, either عِقْبَانٌ or عُقْبَانٌ]: mentioned by Kr: but Az doubted its correctness. (TA.) عُقَابٌ [The eagle;] a certain bird, (S, O, K,) of those that prey, (Msb,) well known: (K:) of the fem. gender: (S, O, Msb:) [though] applied to the male and the female; but with this distinction, that you say of the male, هٰذَا عُقَابٌ ذَكَرٌ [This is a male eagle]: or it is only female; and a bird of another kind couples with it; whence Ibn-'Oneyn says, satirizing a person named Ibn-Seyyideh, Say thou to Ibn-Seyyideh, مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا كَالْعُقَابِ فَأُمُّهُ مَعْرُوفَةٌ وَلَهُ أَبٌ مَجْهُولُ [“ Thou art not other than the like of the eagle; ” for his mother is known, but he has a father unknown]: (MF, TA:) the pl. (of pauc., S, O) is أَعْقُبٌ, (S, O, K,) because it is of the fem. gender and the measure أَفْعُلٌ specially belongs to pls. of fem. nouns [though not to such exclusively], (S, O,) and أَعْقِبَةٌ, (Kr, TA,) and (of mult., S, O) عِقْبَانٌ (S, O, K) and عَقَائِبُ accord. to AHei, but Ed-Demámeenee thinks this to be strange; and pl. pl. عَقَابِينُ. (TA.) عِقْبَانُ الجِرْذَانِ [The eagles that prey upon the large field-rats] are not black, but of the colour termed كُهْبَة; and no use is made of their feathers, except that boys feather with them round-topped pointless arrows. (AHn, TA.) b2: [Hence,] العُقَابُ is the name of (assumed tropical:) One of the northern constellations, [i. e. Aquila,] the stars of which are nine within the figure, and six without, of the former of which are three well known, called النَّسْرُ الطَّائِرُ [q. v.]. (Kzw.) b3: [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) The عُقَاب of the banner, or standard; (S, O;) [app. meaning the flag attached to a lance;] what is bound [to a lance] for a prefect, or governor; likened to the bird so called; and of the fem. gender. (L, TA.) It is also the name of (assumed tropical:) The banner, or standard, of the Prophet. (O, K.) And عُقَابٌ also means (assumed tropical:) A large banner or standard. (TA.) And (assumed tropical:) i. q. غَايَةٌ: so in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, describing wine, لَهَا غَايَةٌ تَهْدِى الكِرَامَ عُقَابُهَا [meaning It has a banner, which guides the generous; like as the military banner guides and attracts warriors: for غَايَةٌ sometimes signifies a sign which the vintner used to set up to attract customers]: the repetition is approvable because of the difference of the two words in themselves: pl. عِقْبَانٌ. (TA.) b4: عُقَابٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A black she-camel; as being likened to the bird. [so called], (AA, O.) b5: And A stone (or piece of rock, L) protruding in the inside of a well, which lacerates the [leathern] bucket; (S, O, K, TA;) sometimes it is before [i. e. above] the casing [of stones or bricks]: it is when a mass of stone becomes displaced; and sometimes the water-drawer stands upon it: it is of the fem. gender: pl. as above. (TA.) And The stone upon which the waterer stands, (O, K,) [accord. to SM,] projecting beyond the casing in a well, the same that is meant in the next preceding sentence, (TA,) [but this I think doubtful, for Sgh adds,] between two stones which support it. (O.) Accord. to IAar, the قَبِيلَة is a mass of stone, or rock, at the mouth of a well; and the عُقَابَانِ are [two masses of stone] at the two sides of the قبيلة, supporting it. (TA.) And A rock, or mass of stone, projecting in the side of a mountain, like a stair, or series of steps: (S, O, K:) or an ascent, like stairs, in the side of a mountain. (TA.) b6: Also A hill; syn. رَابِيَةٌ. (O, K.) And Anything elevated, that is not very long or tall. (O, K. *) b7: A channel by which water flows to a trough, or tank. (O, K.) b8: A thing resembling an almond, that comes forth in one of the legs of a beast. (O, K.) b9: A small thread that enters into [or passes through] the two bores of the ring of the قُرْط [or ear-drop], (O, K, *) with which the latter is bound, or fastened: (O:) or, accord. to Az, the thread that binds the two extremities of the ring of the قُرْط. (TA.) b10: Accord. to Th, it signifies also Garments of the kind called أَبْرَاد [pl. of بُرْدٌ, q. v.]. (TA voce خُدَارِيَّةٌ.) b11: And accord. to Kr, [in the Munjid,] i. q. حَرْثٌ [app. meaning A ploughshare]. (TA.) b12: See also أَعْقَابٌ. b13: And العُقَابَانِ signifies Two pieces of wood between which a man is extended to be flogged: (L, TA:) or two pieces of wood which are set up, stuck in the ground, between which he who is beaten, or he who is [to be] crucified, is extended. (Mgh.) عِقَابٌ: see عَقِبٌ, last quarter.

A2: It is also pl. of عَقَبَةٌ [q. v.]. (S, &c.) A3: See also أَعْقَابٌ.

عَقُوبٌ: see عَاقِبٌ, near the end.

عَقِيبٌ Anything that is a sequent, of, or to, another thing; [in an absolute sense,] (S, Msb, TA,) as when you say, السَّلَامُ عَقِيبٌ لِلتَّشَهُّدِ [The salutation is a sequent to the تشهّد (q. v.)], and العِدَّةُ عَقِيبٌ لِلطَّلَاقِ [The عِدَّة (q. v.) is a sequent to divorcement], i. e., one follows the other; (Msb;) and [by alternation,] as when one says of the night and the day, كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عَقِيبُ صَاحِبِهِ [Each of them is the alternating sequent of its correlative]: (Az, Msb, TA:) you say of the night and the day, هُمَا عَقِيبَانِ [They are two alternating sequents]; and عَقِيبُكَ signifies He who does a deed, or work, with thee by turn, he doing it one time and thou another: (A, * TA:) and ↓ مُعَاقِبٌ signifies the same, (S, Msb,) as also [↓ مُعْقِبٌ and ↓ مُعْتَقِبٌ and] ↓ مُعَقِّبٌ. (Msb.) As for the saying of the lawyers, يَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ عَقِيبَ الصَّلَاةِ [meaning He does that after the prayer], and the like thereof, there is no reason to be given but a suppression; the meaning being, فِى

وَقْتٍ عَقِيب وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ [in a time following that of prayer], عقيب being an epithet qualifying وقت: (Msb:) and Er-Rázee says, in the Mukhtár es-Siháh, that he had found no authority in the T nor in the S for the phrase جَآءَ عَقِيبَهُ meaning He came after him. (TA.) See also عَقِبٌ, first sentence. [And compare عَاقِبٌ.]

عُقُوبَةٌ Punishment; (S, * MA, Msb, * KL;) i. q. نَكَالٌ. (MA.) b2: And Detention, confinement, or imprisonment: so in the trad., لَىُّ الوَاجِدِ يُحِلُّ عُقُوبَتَهُ وَعَرْضَهُ i. e. [The solvent man's putting off the payment of his debt with promises repeated time after time renders allowable] the imprisoning of him and the accusing of him. (IAar, TA. [Accord. to one relation, mentioned in the TA in art. عرض, this trad. ends with وَعِرْضَهُ, there said to mean وَنَفْسَهُ.]) عُقَيِّبٌ, with teshdeed of the ى, (O,) or عُقَّيْبٌ, like قُبَّيْطٌ, (K,) A certain bird, (O, K,) well known. (O.) [If the name be correctly as in the O, the bird meant is probably an eaglet, or a small species of eagle.]

عُقَابٌ عَقَنْبَاةٌ, and عَبَنْقَاةٌ, and بَعْنَقَاةٌ, (S, O, K,) and قَعْنَبَاةٌ, (O,) and عَبَنْقَآءُ, (K in art عبق,) the vars. of the first being formed by transposition, (O,) An عُقَاب [or eagle] having sharp talons: (S, O, K:) or having abominable, or hideous, talons: (T, TA:) or quick in seizing, and abominable, or hideous: accord. to IAar, the epithet denotes intensiveness of quality, as in the cases of أَسَدٌ أَسِدٌ and كَلْبٌ كَلِبٌ: accord. to Lth, عَقْنْبَاةٌ applied to an عُقَاب signifies cunning: and the pl. is عَقَنْبَيَاتٌ. (TA.) [See also art. عبق.]

عَاقِبٌ [act. part. n. of عَقَبَ;] Coming after [&c.]. (Msb.) عَاقِبُ شَىْءٍ means Any person [or thing] that comes after, or succeeds, or comes in the place of, a thing. (S, O, TA.) العَاقِبُ is an appellation applied to the Prophet (S, O, Msb) by himself (S, O) because he came after other prophets, (Msb,) meaning The last of the prophets, (S, O.) And عَاقِبٌ لِامْرَأَةٍ means One who is the last of the husbands of a woman. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] عَاقِبَةٌ مِنْ طَيْرٍ Birds succeeding one another, this alighting and flying, and then another alighting in the place where the former alighted. (TA.) And إِبِلٌ عَاقِبَةٌ Camels that betake themselves to plentiful pasture where they feed freely, after eating of the [kind of plants called] حَمْض: [or] they are not so called unless they be camels that, in a severe year, eat of trees, and then of the حمض; not when they pasture upon fresh, juicy, or tender, herbage. (IAar, TA.) And إِبِلٌ عَوَاقِبُ Camels that drink water, and then return to the place where they lie down by the water, and then go to the water again. (IAar, S, O, K.) b3: And عَاقِبٌ signifies also A successor of another in goodness, or beneficence; and so ↓ عَقُوبٌ. (O, K.) b4: And A chief, or lord: or one who is below the chief or lord: (TA:) or the successor of the chief or lord. (S, K.) b5: See also عَقِبٌ, in two places.

(O.) [IAar cites an ex., in a verse, in which اعقاب would not be admissible.] And أَعْقَابُ الطَّىِّ signifies What surround the casing of a well; i. e. what are behind it. (TA. [See 4, latter half.]) تَعْقِيبَةٌ a modern word signifying A catchword at the bottom of a page: pl. تَعَاقِيبُ.]

مُعْقَبٌ [appears, from what here follows, to be used for مُعْقَبٌ حَالُهُ i. e. One whose state is changed]. IAar cites as an ex. of this word, كُلُّ حَىٍّ مُعْقَبٌ عُقَبَا meaning [Every living being] comes to a state different from that in which he was [by turns, or time after time]. (TA.) مُعْقِبٌ [accord. to the O, مِعْقَبٌ, but this I think a mistranscription,] A star that succeeds, i. e. rises after, another star, (S, K, TA,) and on the rising of which, he who rides in his turn, after another, mounts the beast: (TA:) a star at the appearance of which two persons who ride by turns during a journey take each the other's place; when one star sets and another rises, he who was walking mounts the beast. (AO.) See عَقِيبٌ.

(O.) المُعَقِّبَاتُ means The angels of the night and the day; (S, O, K;) because they succeed one another by turns; and the fem. form is used because of the frequency of their doing so, in like manner as it is in the words نَسَّابَةٌ and عَلَّامَةٌ: (S, O:) the angles called الحَفَظَةُ [pl. of حَافِظٌ, q. v.]: so in the Kur xiii. 12: in which some of the Arabs of the desert read مَعَاقِيبُ: (TA:) this [may be an anomalous pl. of عَقِيبٌ, like as مَهَاجِينُ is of هَجِينٌ, or it] is pl. of مُعَقِّبٌ or of مُعَقِّبَةٌ, the ى being to compensate for the suppression of one of the two ق. (Bd.) b3: المُعَقِّبَاتُ also signifies The she-camels that stand behind those that are pressing towards the wateringtrough, or tank; so that when one she-camel goes away, another comes in her place.

(TA.) Lebeed says, describing a [wild] he-ass and his female, حَتَّى تَهَجَّرَ بِالرَّوَاحِ وَهَاجَهَا طَلَبَ المُعَقِّبِ حَقَّهُ المُظْلُومُ (S, O, but in the latter فِى الرَّوَاحِ,) i. e. [Until he went along in the midday heat, (بالرواح or فى الرواح being redundant,)] and drove her on [by a pursuit] like the seeking of him who is making repeated efforts, having been wronged, to obtain his due: (O:) المظلوم is an epithet qualifying المعقّب, and is in the nom. case agreeable with the meaning, (S, O,) because it is put after its proper place; (O;) and المعقّب is literally in the gen. case, but as to the meaning is an agent: (S, O: *) or, accord. to some, المعقّب [here] signifies the debtor who puts off the payment of his debt; so that المظلوم is an agent and المعقّب is an objective complement: (S:) or, as some say, المعقّب signifies he who demands the payment of a debt and repeats his demand thereof. (TA.) b7: Also Any one returning [app. to the doing of a thing]. (O.) b8: See also مَعَاقِبٌ. b9: لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِ, in the Kur [xiii. 41], means There is no repeller of his decree. (TA.)

(S, O, K.) b3: And نَخْلَةٌ مُعَاقِبَةٌ A palm-tree that bears fruit one year, and fails to do so another. (TA.) b4: And مُعَاقِبٌ also signifies A revenger of blood: a poet, cited by IAar, says, وَنَحْنُ قَتَلْنَا بِالمَحَارِقِ فَارِسًا جَزَآءَ العُطَاسِ لَا يَمُوتُ المُعَاقِبُ meaning [And we slew, in El-Mahárik, (app. the name of a place,) a horseman,] taking our bloodrevenge quickly, in the time that elapses between a sneeze and the prayer for the sneezer [which is usually “ God have mercy on thee ”]: the memory of the blood-revenger shall not die. (TA. [It is there also said that العقب (app. a mistranscription for ↓ المُعَقِّبُ, as may be conjectured from the fact that the م after the article is often indistinctly written, and inferred on other grounds,) is syn. with المُعَاقِبُ as here explained.]) مُعْتَقَبٌ: see 8: A2: and see also 5, last sentence.

مُعْتَقِبٌ: see عَقِيبٌ.

مُتَعَقَّبٌ: see 5, former half, in two places.

يَعْقُوبٌ, perfectly decl., because it is an Arabic word, not altered, and, although having an augmentative letter at the beginning, not of the measure of a verb; whereas يعقوب as a proper name of foreign origin is imperfectly decl.; (S, O;) The حَجَل [or partridge]: (K:) or the male of the حَجَل; (S, O, Msb;) or of the قَبْج; (Lh, Mgh;) but ISd says, I know not whether Lh mean by this the حَجَل or the قَطَا or the كَرَوَان, nor do I know that the قَبْح is the same as the حَجَل: (TA:) and the male of the قَطَا [or sand-grouse]: (TA:) pl. يَعَاقِيبُ. (S, Mgh, O, Msb.) كَأَنَّكُمْ يَعَاقِيبُ الحَجَلِ, occurring in a trad., means [As though ye were the males of partridges] in your haste, and your flying into destruction: for they are such that, when they see the female in the possession of the fowler, they throw themselves upon him, so as to fall into his hand. (Z, TA in art. ركب.) b2: and accord. to some, (TA,) the pl. also signifies Horses: they being thus termed as being likened to the يعاقيب of the حَجَل, (O, TA,) because of their swiftness: (TA:) so in the phrase رَكْضَ اليَعَاقِيبِ [As the running of the horses, or of the swift horses]; in a verse of Selámeh Ibn-Jendel: (O, TA:) but others say that the meaning [here] is, the males of the حَجَل. (TA.) It is said in the L that فَرَسٌ يَعْقُوبٌ means A horse that has a run after another run [or the power of repeating his running] (ذُو عَقْبٍ [or عَقِبٍ]). (TA.) b3: J has cited [in the S] the words of a poet, عَالٍ يُقَصِّرُ دُونَهُ اليَعْقُوبُ [High, so that the يعقوب falls short of reaching it] as an ex. of the last word meaning the male of the حَجَل: but IB says that it appears to mean in this case the male of the عُقَاب [or eagle]; like as اليَرْخُومُ means the male of the رَخَم; and اليَحْبُورُ, the male of the حُبَارَى; for the حَجَل is not known to have so high a flight: and ElFarezdak describes يَعَاقِيب as congregating with vultures over the slain. (TA.) اليَعْقُوبِيَّةُ [a coll. gen. n., n. un. يَعْقُوبِىٌّ,] the name of A sect of the خَوَارِج, followers of Yaakoob Ibn-'Alee El-Koofee. (TA.) b2: And A sect of the Christians; the followers of Yaakoob ElBarádi'ee [or Jacobus Baradæus], who assert the unity of the divine and human natures [in the person of Christ], and who are the most unbelieving and stubborn of the Christians: so says El-Mak- reezee, in one of his tracts. (TA.)

خلف

1 خَلَفَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. خَلْفٌ, He came after, followed, succeeded, or remained after, another, or another that had perished or died. (TA.)

And خَلَفَهُ He came after him, (S, A in art. دبر, Mgh, Msb, TA,) or behind him, (A ubi suprà, Mgh,) or following him nearly; (A ubi suprà;) inf. n. as above, (Mgh, TA,) and خِلْفَةٌ also: (Mgh:) or he remained after him: (K:) and ↓ جَآءَ خِلَافَهُ likewise signifies [the same as جآء خَلْفَهُ; an inf. n. of خَالَفَ being thus used as an adv. n.; i. e.] he came after him. (TA.) You say also, خَلَفَ اللَّيْلُ النَّهَارَ, inf. n. خَلْفٌ and خِلْفَةٌ, The night followed, or came after, the day. (MA.) b2: [Hence,] خَلَفْتُهُ, [aor. as above,] inf. n. خَلْفٌ, [perhaps a mistranscription for خَلَفَ,] I was, after him, a substitute for him: (TA:) [I supplied his place: and I superseded him.] And خَلَفَهُ, (aor. as above, TA,) inf. n. خِلَافَةٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA) and خَلَفٌ (TA) and خِلِّيقَى, (S, * K, * TA,) which last is an inf. n. of the intensive kind, (Sgh, MF, TA,) He was, or became, his خَلِيفَة [i. e. successor, or vice-agent, &c.], (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) or his substitute; (TA;) فِى قَوْمِهِ [among, or in respect of, his people], (S, TA,) and أَهْلِهِ [his family]; relating to good and to evil; wherefore one says, أَوْصَى لَهُ بِالخِلَافَةِ [he charged him by his will with the being his successor, or vice-agent, &c.]; (TA;) or عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ [over his family and his property]: (Msb:) and ↓ اختفلهُ signifies the same; (Lh, Ibn-'Abbád, K;) he was, or became, his خَلِيفَة (Ibn-'Abbád, TA) after him. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) And خَلَفَ فُلَانًا [alone] He was, or became, the خَلِيفَةٌ of such a one among, or in respect of, his family (K, TA) and his children. (TA.) And خَلَفَهُ رَبُّهُ فِى أَهْلِهِ (K, TA) and وَلَدِهِ, (TA,) inf. n. خِلَافَةٌ, (K,) His Lord was [for him] a خَلِيفَة [or supplier of his place] to his family (K, TA) and his children. (TA. [In the CK, اخلف is made to signify the same; but this is in consequence of an omission.]) And one says, خَلَفَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ May God be to to thee a خَلِيفَة [or supplier of the place] (S, Msb, K) of thy father; (S, Msb,) or of the one whom thou hast lost: (S, Msb, K:) thus one says to one who has lost by death his father (S, Msb, K) or mother (K) or paternal uncle (S, Msb) or any other who cannot be replaced: (Msb, K:) and خَلَفَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ خَيْرًــا, (K,) or بِــخَيْرٍ, (Az, Msb, K,) or both, (L,) and خَلَفَ اللّٰهُ لَكَ بِــخَيْرٍ, (Az, Msb,) and اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ خَيْرًــا ↓ أَخْلَفَ and لَكَ خَيْرًــا: (K: [in which it is implied that these phrases mean May God supply to thee well the place of him whom thou hast lost: but it is implied in the Msb that the two of them there mentioned mean May God restore to thee good in the place of that which has gone from thee: and it appears from what here follows that all of these phrases have the latter meaning, whether or not they have the former meaning also:]) to him who has lost property or a child or a thing [of any other kind] of which the replacement may be asked, (S,) or to him of whom that which may be replaced has perished, or died, (K,) one says, اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ ↓ أَخْلَفَ (S, Msb, K) May God restore to thee the like of that which has gone from thee, (S, Msb,) or may God restore to thee what has gone from thee; (K in a later part of the art.;) and اللّٰه لَكَ ↓ اخلف; and خَلَفَ اللّٰه لك : or خَلَفَ اللّٰه عَلَيْكَ is allowable in relation to property and the like; and يَخْلَفُ, like يَمْنَعُ is allowable as its aor. , though extr., (K,) as it has no faucial letter to occasion the fet-h: (TA:) and one says also, خَلَفَ اللّٰهُ لَكَ بِــخَيْرٍ meaning May God give thee good in the place of that which has gone from thee; (TA;) and عَلَيْكَ خَيْرًــا ↓ اخلف, (Msb, TA,) meaning the same; (TA;) and [so] لَكَ خَيْرًــا ↓ اخلف and بِــخَيْرٍ: and اللّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ مَالَكَ ↓ اخلف and لَكَ مَالَكَ [May God restore, or replace, to thee thy property]. (Msb.) خَلَفَ أَبَاهُ, (K,) aor. ـُ (TA,) means He became behind his father; (K;) and if so, its inf. n. is خَلْفٌ: (TA:) or it means he became in the place of his father; (K;) and if so, its inf. n. is خَلَفٌ: (TA:) and خَلَفَ مَكَانَ أَبِيهِ, inf. n. خِلَافَةٌ (K) and خَلَفٌ, (TA,) he became in the place of his father, exclusively of every other. (K.) You say also, خَلَفَتِ الفَاكِهَةِ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا, (JK, K,) inf. n. خَلْفٌ, (JK, TA,) or خَلَفٌ, (TA, [the former being there altered to the latter (which is the more probably correct), or the latter to the former,]) and خِلْفَةٌ, (JK, TA,) The fruit replaced other fruit; or became substituted for other fruit. (JK, * K,* TA. [In the CK, صَارَ خَلْفًا is erroneously put for صَارَتْ خَلَفًا.]) And خَلَفَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى فُلَانَةَ, inf. n. خِلَافَةٌ, [like عَقَبَ عَلَيْهَا,] Such a man took as his wife such a woman after another husband [and thus supplied his place]. (Z, TA.) b3: خَلَفَ ُلَانًا, (aor.

خَلُفَ, TA,) He took, or seized, such a one from behind him; (JK, * K;) as also ↓ اختلفهُ. (TA.) And hence, (TA,) خَلَفَ لَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ (JK, TA) He came to him from behind him, and smote his neck, or struck off his head, with the sword. (TA.) b4: خَلَفَ فُلَانٌ بِعَقِبِى [is explained as meaning] Such a one stayed, or abode, after me. (Msb in art. عقب) [But] b5: خَلَفَ بِعَقَبِ فُلَانٍ is said by some to mean إِلَى ↓ خَالَفَهُ

أَهْلِهِ [q. v.]: accord. to As, however, it means He parted with such a one on the condition of doing a certain thing, and then came behind him [or behind his back] and did another thing after parting with him: and Az says that this is a more correct explanation than the former one. (TA.) [Hence, app.,] one says also, إِنَّ امْرَأَةَ فُلَانٍ

تَخْلُفُ زَوْجَهَا بِالنِّزَاعِ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا [Verily the wife of such a one is unfaithful to her husband by yearning towards another when he is absent from her: or deceives her husband behind his back by yearning towards another; for it is implied, by an ex. given, that اذا غاب عنها is added by way of explanation]. (TA.) خَلَفَهُ also signifies He spoke of him, or mentioned him, [behind his back, or] when he was not present: so in the phrase, خَلَفَهُ بِــخَيْرٍ or بِشَرٍّ [He spoke of him behind his back well or ill]. (TA.) And one says, يَخْلُفُ النَّاسَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ [meaning He defames men behind their backs]: the action signified hereby is like غِيبَةٌ, and may be [by making signs] with the side of the mouth, and with the eye, and with the head. (TA in art. همز.) b6: خَلَفَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ, (K, TA,) aor. ـُ He remained behind, or after, his companions; did not go forth with them; as also أَصْحَابِهِ ↓ قَعَدَ خِلَافَ [similar to a phrase mentioned near the beginning of this art.]; (TA;) i. q. ↓ تخلّف; (K in explanation of the former phrase;) which is syn. with تَأَخَّرَ; (S, K;) as in the phrase تخلّف عَنِّى [which means He remained behind me, or after me]; (S;) [for] تخلّف عَنْهُ means بَقِىَ خَلْفَهُ; (Mgh;) and [in like manner] you say, تخلّف عَنِ لاقَوْمِ He remained behind, or after, the people, or party, not going with them; [he held back, or hung back, from them;] and ↓ قَعَدْتُ خِلَافَهُ [i. e. I remained] behind him, or after him; (Msb;) and ↓ خالف عَنَّا He remained behind us, or after us; syn. ↓ تخلّف. (TA, from a trad.) It is said in the Kur [xvii. 78], إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ↓ وَ إِذَا لَا يَلْبَثُونَ خِلَافَكَ, i. e. [But in that case they should not have remained] after thee [save a little while]: (JK, TA: *) so accord. to one reading [instead of خَلْفَكَ, which means the same]. (TA.) And in like manner, رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ ↓ فَرِحَ المُخَلَّفُونَ بِمَقْعَدِهِمْ خِلَافَ, in the Kur [ix. 82], means [Those who were left behind rejoiced in their remaining] behind the Apostle of God: (S, TA:) or the meaning here is, مُخَالَفَةَ رسول اللّٰه [i. e. in disagreement with the Apostle of God]: (JK, S:) thus says Lh; but IB disagrees with him; saying that خلاف here means بَعْدَ; and cites six exs. in which it has this meaning, from poets. (TA.) b7: [Hence,] خَلَفَ فُلَانٌ عَنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one was, or became, kept back from all good; i. e.,] did not prosper, or was not successful. (TA. [It is there added, that it is explained in the A as tropical, and as meaning تَغَيَّرَ وَفَسَدَ: but this is perhaps a mistake, occasioned by the accidental omission of وَخَلَفَ اللَّبَنُ or the like, of which this is a correct explanation: or the phrase thus explained in the TA, as from the A, may correctly mean He became altered for the worse, and corrupt; agreeably with other explanations of the verb below.]) b8: خَلَفَ, aor. ـُ also signifies He (a man) retired, withdrew, or went away or apart. (JK.) and خَلَفَتْ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ, aor. ـُ inf. n. خُلُوفٌ, (assumed tropical:) His soul turned away from, avoided, or shunned, the food, in consequence of disease. (JK, TA.) b9: And He fled. (Ham p. 411.) b10: And He (a man, Sgh) ascended a mountain. (Sgh, K.) A2: See also 2, first sentence.

A3: خَلَفَ, (S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (Lh, Msb, TA, and Ham p. 679,) [inf. n. خُلُوفٌ,] said of the taste of water, It was, or became, different from, or contrary to, what it was thought to be: and [hence,] it was, or became, altered [for the worse]: (Ham ubi suprà:) [and] said of milk, (S, K,) and of food, (Lh, S, Msb, K,) and the like, (Lh, TA,) and some say خَلُفَ, (TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. خُلُوفٌ, (Lh, TA,) of both verbs, (TA,) it was, or became, altered [ for the worse] (Lh, S, Msb, K) in taste, or in odour; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اخلف: or, said of milk, the first signifies it became bad from being long kept; or, as in the A, (tropical:) what was good thereof became mixed (خُلِفَ, i. e. خُلِطَ,) with other milk: and ↓ اخلف, said of milk, signifies also it was, or became, sour: (TA:) and the first, said of [the beverage called] نَبِيذ, it became bad. (K.) Also, inf. n. خُلُوفٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خُلُوفَةٌ (K) and خِلْفَةٌ, (L, TA,) said of the mouth (S, Mgh, Msb, K) of a person fasting, (S, Msb, K,) It was, or became, altered [for the worse] in odour; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اخلف. (S, Msb, K.) It is said in a trad. that the خُلُوف of the mouth of one who is fasting is sweeter in the estimation of God than the odour of musk: or, accord. to some of the lawyers and of the relaters of traditions, خَلُوف; but [SM says,] I think this to be a mistake, as several affirm it to be, while others say that it is of a bad dial. : accord. to one reading, it is خِلْفَة. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] خَلَفَ عَنْ خُلُقِ أَبِيهِ, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. خُلُوفٌ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, altered [for the worse] from the natural disposition of his father. (K, TA.) b3: And خَلَفَ, (ISk, S, K,) inf. n. خَلْفٌ [or خُلُوفٌ]; or خَلْفَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. خَلَافَةٌ and خُلُوفٌ; (TA;) (assumed tropical:) He (a man) was, or became, bad, or corrupt. (ISk, S, K, TA.) b4: And خَلَفَ, (K) inf. n. خَلَافَةٌ (IAth, K) and خُلُوفٌ, (K,) (assumed tropical:) He (a man) was, or became, stupid, or foolish; or one who had little, or no, intellect or understanding: (K, * TA:) or unprofitable: or a frequent promise-breaker: (IAth:) or خَلَفَ and ↓ اخلف, said of a slave, he was, or became, idiotic, deficient in intellect, or bereft of his intellect. (JK.) A4: خَلَفَ, (K,) inf. n. خَلْفٌ; (S, * K, * TA;) and ↓ اخلف, and ↓ استخلف; (S, K;) He drew water, (S, K, TA,) لِأَهْلِهِ for his family: [app. because he who does so leaves his family behind him: see 2, first sentence:] (K, TA:) [or] ↓ استخلف, said of a man, signifies اِسْتَعْذَبَ المَآء [app. as meaning he sought, or drew, or brought, sweet water: see art. عذب]: and, accord. to IAar, you say, القَوْمَ ↓ أَخْلَفْتُ, meaning properly I carried sweet water to the people, or party, when they were in the [season, or herbage, called] رَبِيع and without sweet water, or when they were by salt water: إِخْلَافٌ [as meaning the carrying, or drawing, of water,] being [properly] only in the ربيع: in other cases, metaphorically applied. (TA.) El-Hoteíäh says, ↓ لِزُغْبٍ كَأَوْلَادِ القَطَا رَاثَ خَلْفُهَا عَلَى عَاجِزَاتِ النَّهْضِ حُمْرٍ حَوَاصِلُهْ (assumed tropical:) [To, or for, downy ones, like the young ones of the katà, whose procurer of water has been slow in coming to those lacking the power of spreading their wings for flight, red in their crops]: he means ↓ مِخْلِفُهَا [or خَالِفُهَا], and has put in the place of this the inf. n.: and by حواصله, accord. to Ks, he means حَوَاصِلُ مَا ذَكْرْنَا [the crops of what we have mentioned]: but Fr says that the ه relates to the زغب, exclusively of the عاجزات, which [latter] has the sign of the pl. ; for every pl. that has the form of a sing. may be imagined to be a sing., as in the saying of the poet, مِثْلُ الفِرَاخِ نُتِفَتْ حَوَاصِلُهْ [meaning “ like the young birds of which the crops have been plucked ”]; for الفراخ has not the sign of the pl., but has the form of a sing., like الكِتَاب and الحِجَاب: another says, [but this is very far-fetched,] that the ه relates to النهض, which [sometimes] means a place in the shoulderblade of the camel; and that the poet has used it metaphorically as belonging to the قطا. (S.) A5: خَلَفَ الثَّوْبَ, (S,) or القَمِيصَ, aor. ـُ (Msb, K,) inf. n. خَلْفٌ (Kr, TA) and خُلْفَةٌ, in some copies of the K خَلْفَةٌ, [so in my MS. copy of the K, and so in the TK,] and [in some] خُلَفٌ also, but these require consideration, (TA,) He took out from the garment, or shirt, the part that was worn out, (S, Msb, K,) that is, the middle part, which was worn out, (S, Msb,) and then sewed the [cut] edges together. (S, Msb, K.) and الثَّوْبَ ↓ اخلف signifies the same as خَلَفَهُ, i. e. He repaired the garment [app. in any manner, or, as is implied in the S and TA, by substituting one piece for another]. (S, K, TA.) b2: The saying, in a trad. of Hamneh, فَإِذَا خَلَفَتْ ذٰلِكَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ, meaning (assumed tropical:) And when she has discriminated that period of days and nights during which she has been حَائِض, [she shall perform a complete ablution of herself,] is from خَلَفَ القَمِيص signifying as explained above. (Msb.) A6: خَلَفَ signifies also He mixed [a thing with another thing; as, for instance, (see خُلِفَ in a passage above,) milk with other milk]: and he mixed saffron, and medicine, with water. (TA.) A7: خَلَفَ بَيْتَهُ He put to, or made for, his tent, a pole, (K, TA,) termed a خَالِفَة, (TA,) in the hinder part thereof. (K TA.) A8: خَلِفَ, aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. خَلَفٌ, (S, K,) He (a camel) inclined towards one side. (S, K.) b2: خَلَفٌ is also an inf. n. (of خَلِفَ, said of a man, TK) signifying The being أَخْلَف as meaning contrarious, hard in disposition, as though going with a leaning towards one side: b3: and the being left-handed: b4: and the being أَحْوَل [or squint-eyed]. (K.) A9: خَلِفَتْ, aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) inf. n. خَلَفٌ, (Msb, TA,) She (a camel) was, or became, pregnant. (Msb, K.) 2 خلّفهُ, (Msb,) and خلّفهُ وَرَآءَهُ, (S, TA,) inf. n. تَخْلِيفٌ, (TA,) He left him behind him; (Msb;) namely, a man: (S, Msb, TA:) and ↓ خَلَفَهُ [signifies the same: or] he made him to be behind him; as also ↓ اخلفهُ [q.v.], and ↓ اختلفهُ: (TA:) [whence the saying,] أَلْحَحْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ

↓ فِى الاِتِبَاعِ حَتَّى اخْتَلَفْتُهُ i. e. [I pressed upon such a one in following] until I made him to be behind me. (ISk, TA.) You say also, خَلَّفَهُمْ, inf. n. as above, meaning He was, or became, or went, before them; and left them behind him. (TA.) And خلّفوا أَثْقالَهُم, inf. n. as above, They left their loads, or baggage &c., behind their backs; (O, K;) when they went away to draw water. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] خلّفهُ He made him, or appointed him, his خَلِيفَة [i. e. successor, or vice-agent, &c.]; (K;) and so ↓ استخلفهُ. (S, Msb, K.) So in the Kur [xxiv. 54], ↓ لَيَسْتَخِلَفَنَّهُمْ فِى الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ [That He will assuredly make them to be successors in the earth, like as He made to be successors those who were before them]. (TA.) A2: خلّف بِنَاقَتِهِ, (S, K,) inf. n. as above, (S,) He bound one of the teats of his she-camel with the thing termed صِرَار [in order that her young one might not suck it]: (S, K:) from Yaakoob. (S.) 3 خالفهُ, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) inf. n. خِلَافٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA) and مُخَالَفَةٌ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) He [or it] disagreed with, or differed from, him [or it]; or he dissented from him; (Mgh, Msb;) contr. of وَافَقَهُ; فِى كَذَا [in, or in respect of, such a thing]: (Mgh:) and he, or it, was contrary, opposed, or repugnant, to him, or it: (TA:) [and he acted contrarily, contrariously, adversely, or in opposition, to him, or it; he, or it, contravened, or opposed, him, or it:] and he [or it] contradicted him [or it]. (M in art. نقض.) It is said in a prov., إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ خِلَافَ الضَّبُعِ الرَّاكِبَ, i. e. تُخَالِفُ خِلَافَ الضَّبُعِ [Verily thou art one who acts with the contrariousness of the hyena towards the rider]: for the hyena [attacks a man on foot, but], when it sees the rider, flees from him. (IAar, TA.) You say also, خَالَفَنِى عَنْ كَذَا He turned away from such a thing [in opposition to me, or] when I betook myself to it: [see also the last sentence but one of the first paragraph of art. بهت:] and خالفنى إِلَى كَذَا He betook himself to such a thing [in opposition to me, or] when I turned away from it: (Mgh:) or خالفهُ إِلَى

الشَّىْءِ means he disobeyed him by betaking himself to the thing; or betook himself to the thing after he had forbidden him it. (TA.) And hence, (Mgh,) هُوَ يُخَالِفُ إِلَى امْرَأَةِ فُلَانٍ, (S, Mgh, *) or إِلَى فُلَانَةَ, (O, L, TA,) in the K erroneously, هو يخالف فُلَانَةَ, (TA,) He comes to the wife of such a one when he [the latter] is absent from her, (S,) or to such a woman when her husband is absent from her: (Mgh, * O, L, K, TA:) and خالفهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ [he came to his (another's) wife in his (the husband's) absence]: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph. (Az, TA.) And خالفهُ

إِلَيْهِمْ He watched to see him, and, when he was absent from them, namely, his family, he went in to them: (JM, O, TA:) and, accord. to Az, فُلَانٌ صَاحِبَهُ ↓ اخلف Such a one watched to see his companion, and, when he was absent, he came, and went in to him [or rather to his wife or to his family]: (TA:) [or] صَاحِبَهُ ↓ خالف he watched to see his companion, and, when he was absent, went in to his wife: (K, and the like is said in the JK:) thus says IDrd, on the authority of Az. (TA.) And خالف إِلَى قَوْمٍ He came to a party, or company of men, from behind them [or behind their backs]: or he feigned to them the contrary of that which he conceived in his mind, and took them unawares. (TA.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, [describing a collector of wild honey,] إِذَا لَسَعَتْهُ النَّحْلُ لَمْ يَرْجُ لَسْعَهَا وَخَالَفَهَا فِى بَيْتِ نُوبٍ عَوَاسِلِ (S in the present art., in which only the former hemistich is cited, and in art. رجو,) i. e. [When the bees sting him,] he fears not nor minds [their stinging], (S in art. رجو) [but comes, during their absence, to the hiving-place of bees occupied in gathering honey:] meaning, he comes to their honey, (S, TA, [in the latter of which, in the place of النحل, is put الدَّبْرُ “ the swarm of bees,”]) and takes it, (TA,) while they are feeding; (S, TA;) or, as AA says, he comes behind them to the honey while they are absent: AO explains it by خَالَفَهَا إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ which [he says] meanshe keeps with them [to another place]; syn. لَازَمَهَا; [and thus this phrase (which is strangely misinterpreted in the TK and in Freytag's Lexicon) is explained in the K, but without any reference to the verse;] as also حَالَفَهَا, with the unpointed ح: (TA:) and some read the verse thus; but this reading is said to be a mistake. (TA in art. حلف.) b2: جَآءَ خِلَافَهُ: see 1, near the beginning of the paragraph. And see also five other exs. in the middle portion of the same paragraph. b3: خالف بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ He put one of his legs forward and the other backward: and [hence,] المُخَالَفَةُ بَيْنَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ [as signifying the alternate shifting of the legs to and fro] is metonymically used as meaning the act of dancing. (Har p. 108.) [And خالف بَيْنَ الشَّيْئَيْنِ He put, or placed, the two things contrariwise; or on contrary sides; or in contrary directions. Hence,] أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ, in the Kur v. 37, [Or that their hands and their feet shall be cut off on contrary sides,] means that their right hands and left feet shall be cut off. (Bd, Jel. [See also similar exs. in the Kur vii. 121 and xx. 74 and xxvi. 49.]) [Hence also,] فَرَسٌ بِهِ شِكَالٌ مِنْ خِلَافٍ, (JK,) or ذُو خَدَمَتَانِ مِنْ خِلَافٍ, (TA,) A horse having a whiteness in his right fore leg and his left hind leg [or the reverse]: (JK, TA:) and some say, لَهُ خَدَمَتَانِ مِنْ خِلَافٍ when he has a whiteness [or rather a ring of white a little above the hoof] in his fore leg [or right fore leg] and another in his left fore leg [probably a mistake of a copyist for his left hind leg]. (TA.) 4 اخلفهُ: see 2, first sentence. Also He put him, turned him, or made him to go back or stand back, behind him. (K, TA.) And اخلف يَدَهُ He put his hand behind him. (Az, TA.) and also, (Fr, TA,) or اخلف بِيَدِهِ إِلَى السَّيْفِ, (JK,) or simply اخلف [used elliptically], (S, K,) He put [back] his hand to his sword, (Fr, S, K, TA,) in order to draw it, (JK, S, K, TA,) it being hung behind him. (Fr, * TA.) And اخلف السَّيْفَ [He hung the sword behind him; or kept it hung behind him]: said, in a trad., of a man on the day of Bedr. (TA.) And اخلف عَنِ البَعِيرِ [ for اخلف عَنْهُ الحَقَبَ] He shifted [backwards] the hind girth of the camel, putting it next to his testicles, on account of its hurting the sheath of his penis, and causing a suppression of his urine; (As, S, K;) as also اخلف البَعِيرَ: (TA:) or you say only, أَخْلِفِ الحَقَبَ, meaning remove thou the hind girth from the sheath of the penis. (Lh, TA.) And اخلف الدَّابَّةَ بِالسَّوْطِ He struck the beast on the hinder part with the whip. (JK.) b2: اخلف البَازِلَ [He (a camel) exceeded in age the بازل, which is generally one that has entered his ninth year: as though he made the بازل to be behind him: and so, app., اخلف alone; البَازِلَ being understood: see مُخْلِفٌ]. El-Jaadee says, أَخْلَفَ البَازِلَ عَامًا أَوْ بَزَلْ أَيِّدِ الكَاهِلِ جَلْدٍ بَازِلٍ

[Strong in the withers, hardy, a بازل; that has exceeded in age him who has just become a بازل by a year, or that has himself just become a بازل]. (S, TA.) Some say that الإِخْلَافُ is [a term denoting] the last of the ages [that have words to signify them] with respect to all beasts. (TA.) b3: اخلف فُلَانٌ صَاحِبَهُ: see 3, near the middle of the paragraph. b4: اخلفهُ مَا وَعَدَهُ, (S,) or مَوْعِدَهُ, (Mgh,) or وَعْدَهُ, (Msb,) or الوَعْدَ, (K,) inf. n. إِخْلَافٌ, (Mgh,) He broke, (Mgh,) or failed to perform, (S, K,) his promise, or the promise, to him: (S, Mgh, K:) restricted to future time: (Msb:) الإِخْلَافُ is, in respect of the future, like الكَذِبُ in respect of the past: (S, K:) or the making a promise and not fulfilling it: (Lh, K:) and some say that it signifies one's seeking an object of want, or water, and not finding it. (TA.) It is said in a trad., إِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ, i. e. When he promises, he does not fulfil his promise, and is not true [to it]. (TA.) [Hence,] أَخْلَفَتِ النُّجُومُ, i. e. (tropical:) [The stars broke their promise; meaning,] were attended with drought, not attended with rain: (S, K, TA:) a saying of the people in the Time of Ignorance: (S, TA:) and so عَنْ أَنْوَائِهَا ↓ اِخْتَلَفَتْ: for they used to believe and say that they were rained upon by such and such a نَوْء. (TA. [See نَوْءٌ.]) Hence also, أَخْلَفَتِ الحُمَّى (assumed tropical:) The fever, being tertian or quartan, came not in its time, or turn. (Mgh.) And أَخْلَفَتْ said of a she-camel, (assumed tropical:) She, having been covered by the stallion, did not become pregnant: (JK, TA:) and (assumed tropical:) she proved to be not pregnant when thought to be pregnant. (JK.) And in like manner said of a palm-tree; (JK;) (tropical:) It bore not one year: and (tropical:) it (a tree) bore no fruit: or lost the fruit that it had. (L, TA. [The verb, said of trees, has also another meaning, which see below.]) b5: اخلفهُ is also said, by El-Fárábee, to occur as meaning He acted according to his promise [or fulfilled his promise] to him; thus bearing two contr. significations: but this is strange. (MF.) b6: Also He found him to be a breaker of his promise; (JK;) or he found his promise to be broken, or unfulfilled. (S, K.) b7: اخلف عَلَيْكَ and لَكَ, each with an objective complement (خَيْرًــا or مَالَكَ) expressed or understood: see 1, in six places, in the former half of the paragraph. You say also, اخلف فُلَانٌ لِنَفْسِهِ, (S, K,) or لِغَيْرِهِ, (TA,) Such a one replaced to himself, (S, K,) or to another, (TA,) a thing that had gone from him, with another thing. (S, K.) Ibn-Mukbil says, فَأَخْلِفْ وَأَتْلِفْ إِنَّمَا المَالُ عَارَةٌ وَكُلْهُ مَعَ الدَّهْرِ الَّذِى هُوَ آكِلُهْ [Then replace thou, and consume: wealth is but a loan: and devour it with time, which is a devourer thereof]: he means, gain a substitute for what thou hast consumed. (S, TA.) and the Arabs say to him who has put on a new garment, أَبْلِ وَأَخْلِفْ وَاحْمَدِ الكَاسِى [Wear out thy garment, and replace it with another, and praise the Clother, meaning God]. (TA.) and أَبْلِ وَيُخْلِفُ اللّٰهُ [Wear out thy garment, and God will replace it with another; or, may God replace &c.]. (S in art. بلو) b8: See also اخلف الثَّوْبَ near the end of the first paragraph. b9: اخلف said of a plant, or of herbage, It put forth the خِلْفَة, (S, Msb, K,) meaning leaves that come forth after the first leaves, in the [season called]

صَيْف; (TA;) and in like manner said of trees: (Msb, TA:) or اخلف الشَّجَرُ means the trees put forth fruit after other fruit. (JK.) And, said of fruit, It came forth, some thereof after other thereof. (TA.) And اخلفت الأَرْضُ The land became affected by the cold of the latter part of the [season called] صَيْف, and some of its trees consequently become green. (TA.) b10: Also, said of a bird, (tropical:) It put forth feathers after the first feathers: (K, TA:) from the same verb said of a plant, or of herbage. (TA.) b11: And, said of a boy, (assumed tropical:) He nearly attained to puberty. (JK, Az. K, TA.) b12: And, said of a solid-hoofed beast, (assumed tropical:) He completed a year after the قُرُوح [or finishing teething, or shedding the corner-nipper]. (JK.) A2: اخلفهُ said of medicine, It weakened him (K, TA) by causing him to go frequently to the privy. (TA.) b2: And الإِخْلَافُ also signifies The bringing the stallion again to the she-camel when she has not conceived at once. (K.) A3: See also 1, in six places, in the latter half of the paragraph.5 تَخَلَّفَ see 1, in two places, in the middle of the paragraph. [Hence, تخلّف َنِ الأَمْرِ He held back from, or fell short of, doing the thing.]6 تَخَاْلَفَ see the next paragraph, in three places.8 اِخْتِلَافٌ signifies The following reciprocally; or alternating. (Mgh.) So in the phrase in the Kur [ii. 159 and iii. 187 and xlv. 4], وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارِ And the alternating of the night and the day. (Mgh) [And in a verse of El-'Ajjáj cited voce أَبْلَى, in art. بلو.] And hence the phrase, اِخْتَلَفَا ضَرْبَةً Each of them beat, or struck the other in turn. (Mgh.) And the saying, in a trad. of 'Alee, فَاخْتَلَفَتْ بَيْنَ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الحٰرِثِ وَالوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ضَرْبَتَانِ [And two blows were interchanged between 'Obeydeh Ibn-El-Hárith and El-Weleed Ibn-'Okbeh]. (Mgh.) And the saying, in a trad. of Umm-Sabeeyeh, اِخْتَلَفَتْ يَدِى

وَيدُ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ فِى إِنَآءٍ وَاحِدٍ, meaning My hand and the hand of the Apostle of God were both put [by turns] into one vessel. (Mgh.) and اِخْتَلَفُوا signifies They followed, or succeeded, one another; whenever one went, another coming after him. (TA in art. عور.) b2: Also The going, or moving, repeatedly, to and fro; so coming and going; or reciprocating; syn. تَرَدُّدٌ [in this sense, as is shown in this art. in the K and TA, and in the S and K in art. رود &c.: and also as mean ing the returning, or repairing, time after time, or repeatedly, or frequently, to a person or place; because it implies coming and going: and sometimes it means simply the returning; because this cannot be without a previous going]. (K.) You say, هُوَ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى فُلَانٍ, i. e. يَتَرَدَّدُ [He returns, or repairs, time after time, repeatedly, or frequently, to such a one]: and اِخْتَلَفَ إِلَيْهِ اخْتِلَافَةً وَاحِدَةً

And اِخْتَلَفَ إِلَى المُتَوَضَّأِ [He returned, or repaired, time after time, &c., to the privy]. (S.) And اِخْتَلَفَ إِلَى الخَلآءِ [properly signifies the same: and hence, (assumed tropical:) He had a looseness of the bowels, or a diarrhœa]. (K.) And [perhaps as implying coming and going,] اختلف also signifies He supplied, or gave, or offered, water. (TA.) b3: [Also The disagreeing, differing, or varying, in state or condition or quality &c.; being dissimilar, different, diverse, various, incongruous, discordant, or dissentient:] اختلف is the contr. of اِتَّفَقَ; (K, TA;) and is said of anything that is dissimilar [in the parts or members &c. of which it is composed]; as also ↓ تخالف. (TA.) You say, الأَمْرَانِ ↓ تخالف [and اختلف الامران], i. e. لَمْ يَتَّفِقَا [The two things, or affairs, or cases, were, or became, dissimilar, &c.]. (TA.) And اختلفوا and ↓ تخالفوا (Mgh, Msb) [They disagreed, &c., فِى أَمْرٍ in a thing or an affair or a case;] every one of them took to, or held, a way, or an opinion, different from, or contrary to, that of another: (Msb:) both signify the same. (Mgh.) It is said in a trad., سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَلَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ [Make ye your ranks even when ye place yourselves to pray together, and be not dissimilar in your positions, for in that case your hearts would disagree]; meaning, when one of you advances, or stands, before another in the ranks, your hearts will be affected, and disagreement in respect of friendship and amity will arise among you: or, as some say, it means, your hearts will be made to recoil: or the صُورَة [or specific character] of your hearts will become changed into another صورة.

خَلْفٌ [meaning The location, or quarter, that is behind; and the time past;] (K; [so in my MS. copy, and thus it should be written as a simple noun; but in the CK خَلْفُ;]) or الخَلْفُ; (Lth, K;) contr. of قُدَّامٌ [or القُدَّامُ]: (Lth, K:) [and] خَلْفَ [Behind; and after;] contr. of قُدَّامَ: (S: [thus in my tow copies; and said in the margin of one of them to be thus in the copy of IB, and in that of El-Jawáleekee:]) a simple noun: and an adv. n.: of the fem. gender [as meaning the جِهَة; but otherwise it seems to be masc.]. (TA.) You say, جَآءَ خَلْفَهُ [and مِنْ خَلْفِهِ, both meaning He came behind him, and after him]. (Mgh.) And جَلَسْتُ خَلْفَ فُلَانٍ I sat after, or behind, such a one; syn. بَعْدَهُ (S.) And لَبِثَ خَلْفَهُ He remained after him. (K.) Some read, in the Kur [xvii. 78], وَإِذًا لَايَلْبَثُونَ خَلْفَكَ: others read خِلَافَكَ [which means the same, as mentioned above: see the middle of the first paragraph of this art.]. (TA.) b2: خَلْفٌ signifies also The back (K, TA) itself: so says IAar: and particularly, of a house; the side corresponding to, or over against, that in which is the door; and as a house may have two doors, [in two different sides,] it may be said to have two backs, each of which may be thus termed; and the dual of this word seems to be used as meaning two backs in a trad. [respecting the building of the Kaabeh]. (TA.) b3: And One who comes after another; (S, TA;) as also ↓ خَلَفٌ, or, accord. to some, there is a difference between these two, as will be shown in what follows; (S;) and ↓ خَالِفٌ and ↓ خَالِفَةٌ: it is originally an inf. n.: (TA:) and signifies one who remains after another, whether this other be dead or living: and one remaining after another who is dead; his follower, or successor; the follower, or successor, of one who has gone: used in praise and in dispraise: pl. خُلُوفٌ: and the sing. also signifies [like the pl.] persons remaining after others; accord. to some: (IB, TA:) a remnant of people: (Lh, TA:) and a generation after a generation; (Lth, S, K;) as also ↓ خَلَفٌ: (Lth, TA:) but Lth says that the former is applied to the evil, and ↓ the latter to the good, (K, TA,) whether meaning a generation or a son: (TA:) the latter means a good son (K, TA) remaining after his father: (TA:) and the former, a bad son: (K, TA:) [therefore] one says, هُوَ خَلْفُ سَوْءٍ مِنْ أَبِيهِ [He is a bad son] who has taken the place of his father, and صِدْقٍ من ابيه ↓ خَلَفُ [a good son] &c.: (S:) but sometimes each is used in the place of the other; so that one says, هو خَلْفُ صِدْقٍ من ابيه: (K:) or both signify the same: (S, K:) so says Akh: some, he says, use the former; and some, the latter: but some say صِدْقٍ ↓ خَلَفُ and خَلْفُ سَوْءٍ, meaning thus to distinguish between them: (S:) accord. to IB, ↓ خَلَفٌ correctly signifies a man's successor who is a substitute for him, good and bad: and is originally an inf. n.: (TA:) and the pl. of this is أَخْلَافٌ: (Az, IB, TA:) accord. to IAth, خَلَفُ صِدْقٍ means a good generation: and خَلْفُ سَوْءٍ, an evil generation: (TA:) and خَلْفٌ likewise signifies progeny [without restriction]. (K.) One says also, (S, K,) of a people following people more in number than they, (S,) هٰؤُلَآءِ خَلْفُ سَوْءٍ [These are a bad generation. (S, K.) And بَقِينَا فِى خَلْفِ سَوْءٍ We remained among an evil remnant. (Lh, TA.) And فَخَلَفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ, in the Kur [vii. 168 and xix. 60], is explained as meaning And there remained after them a remnant. (TA.) b4: [Hence,] (tropical:) One in whom is no good. (IB, K.) [And app. also Persons in whom is no good..] b5: And (tropical:) A thing in which is no good: (IB, TA:) [and particularly] (assumed tropical:) a bad saying; (ISk, S, Msb, K;) a wrong, bad saying, like the خَلْف of mankind. (A 'Obeyd, Msb.) See also خُلْفٌ. It is said in a prov., سَكَتَ أَلْفًا وَنَطَقَ خَلْفًا (assumed tropical:) He held his tongue from a thousand words (سَكَتَ عَنْ أَلْفِ كَلِمَة), and then uttered what was wrong. (ISk, S, Msb.) An Arab of the desert, who had been guilty of a breach of manners (حَبَقَ حَبْقَةً), pointed with his thumb towards his اِسْت, and said, إِنَّهَا خَلْفٌ نَطَقَتْ خَلْفًا [which may be rendered, Verily it is a thing in which is no good: it uttered a thing in which was no good: but it obviously admits of being rendered otherwise]. (IAar, S.) b6: Also People who have gone away from the tribe (T, K) to draw water, and have left their baggage &c. behind them: (T, TA:) and such as are present, [remaining behind,] of the tribe: thus bearing two contr. significations: pl. خُلُوفٌ. (K.) You say حَىٌّ خُلُوفٌ A tribe who are absent; none of them remaining behind: (S, TA:) or a tribe of which the men are absent and the women remaining: (TA:) and خُلُوفٌ also signifies the contr., i. e. such as are present, (S, TA,) remaining behind. (S.) It is said of Mohammad, in a trad., لَمْ يَتْرُكْ أَهْلَهُ خُلُوفًا, i. e. He did not leave his family neglected, with no pastor nor protector. (TA.) See also a verse of El-Hoteíäh in the latter part of the first paragraph of this article.

(JK.) b2: And The head of a razor. (K.) b3: And The [pointed] head of a مِنْقَار, [an iron instrument like the فَأْس, (A and K in art. نقر,) with which mill-stones &c. are pecked, or wrought into shape, (see مِنْقَارٌ,) and] with which wood is cut. (TA.) A5: See also خِلْفٌ.

خُلْفٌ a subst. from إِخْلَافٌ, (S, Msb, K,) relating to a promise, and restricted to future time; (Msb;) i. e. a subst. used in the place of إِخْلَافٌ; (Lh, TA;) meaning The breach, or non-fulfilment, of a promise; as also ↓ خُلُفٌ, which is said to be the original form of the word, and ↓ خُلُوفٌ: (TA:) it is, in respect of the future, like كَذِبٌ in respect of the past: (S, K:) some say that it signifies a false, or wrong, saying; which is a meaning of ↓ خَلْفٌ, with fet-h, before mentioned: but perhaps these two words may be syn. dial. vars. (MF, TA.) b2: Also, (Msb,) or ↓ خُلْفَةٌ, and ↓ خِلْفَةٌ, (K, TA,) Disagreement, difference, dissension, contrariety, contrariousness, or opposition, (Msb, K, * TA,) in opinions or the like, (Msb,) or in respect of friendship and amity, (TA in explanation of the second of these words,) or in natural disposition; (K;) as also ↓ خِلَفْنَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ خِلَفْنَاةٌ and ↓ خَالِفٌ and ↓ خَالِفَةٌ.

[properly of pauc.] is أَخْلَافٌ (Msb, TA) and [of mult.] خُلُوفٌ. (TA.) One says, دَرَّتْ لَهُ أَخْلَافُ الدُّنْيَا (tropical:) [The world yielded him abundance of its good things]. (TA.) A4: The shortest of the ribs of the side; (S;) [and] so ↓ خَلْفٌ; (K;) likewise called ضِلَعٌ الخِلْفِ and الخَلْفِ; it is the furthest and thinnest of the ribs; (TA;) [i. e.] the خِلْف is that next to the belly, of the small ribs; their قُصَيْرَى: (K: [see القُصْرَى:]) pl. of the former (S) [and] of the latter (K) خُلُوفٌ.

خَلِفٌ, applied to she-camels, i. q. مَخَاضٌ, i. e. Pregnant: n. un. with ة: (S, K:) accord. to some, (TA,) the pl. of خَلِفَةٌ, which signifies a pregnant camel, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) or, as some say, one that has completed a year after bringing forth and has then been covered and has conceived, until she enters upon the term called التَّعْشِير, (TA, [from-the time when her pregnancy has become manifest, (see قَارِحٌ and لَاقِحٌ,)] is مَخَاضٌ, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) like as the pl. of اِمْرَأَةٌ is نِسَآءٌ; (Msb, TA;) and sometimes خَلِفَاتٌ (Mgh, Msb, TA) and خِلَافٌ: (TA:) but خَلِفٌ occurs in the saying of the rájiz, مَا لَكَ تَرْغِينَ وَلَا تَرْغُوا الخَلِفْ [What aileth thee that thou utterest a grumbling cry, when the pregnant camels utter not that cry?]. (IB.) خُلَفٌ: see خُلْفَةٌ.

(K.) All of these meanings have been assigned to it in explanations of the saying, أَبِيعُكَ هٰذَا العَبْدَ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ خُلْفَتِهِ [I sell to thee this slave, but I am irresponsible to thee for his vice, &c.]: or, accord. to IAar, the meaning is, خِلَافِهِ [his contrariousness]. (TA.) b3: Also The last taste of food; (K;) as in the saying, إِنَّهُ لَطَيِّبُ الخُلْفَةِ [Verily it is good, or sweet, in respect of the last taste]; (TA;) and so ↓ خَلْفَةٌ: pl. خُلَفٌ: and it (خُلْفَةٌ) signifies also loss of appetite for food, in consequence of disease: (so accord. to the CK:) [or,] accord. to some copies of the K, ↓ خَلْفَةٌ has this latter signification; and so ↓ خُلَفٌ: accord. to other copies, خُلَفٌ is pl of خَلْفَةٌ in this sense: but both these readings require consideration: what is found in the Lexicons is, خَلَفَتْ نَفْسُهُ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ, aor. ـُ inf. n. خُلُوفٌ; meaning as explained above, in the latter half of the first paragraph. (TA.) خِلْفَةٌ a subst. signifying A mode, or manner, of coming after [or behind]; like قِعْدَةٌ signifying

[And He it is who hath made the night and the day] so that each replaces the other: or each follows the other: (K, * TA:) or so that he who is unable to accomplish a thing in the night may do it in the day, and the reverse. (Fr, L, K.) Zuheyr says, of wild animals, يَمْشِينَ خِلْفَةً, meaning They go to and fro. (S, TA. [See Em p. 109.]) And one says, أَخَذَتْهُ خِلْفَةٌ, meaning He was taken with [an affection causing] a frequent going to and from the privy. (S, K.) [And hence,] خِلْفَةٌ signifies also, A discharging of the bowels; or a purging and vomiting together; (K;) or a disordered state of the stomach arising from [unwholesome] food; (TA;) a looseness, or diarrhœa.

(Aboo-Ziyád El-Kilábee, K. [See also رَبْلٌ.]) b5: What the trees disclose in the beginning of the cold, (K, TA,) by reason of the [rain called]

صَفَرِيَّة [q. v.]: (TA:) or fruit that comes forth after other fruit: (K:) or fruit that comes forth after abundant fruit; (S, Mgh, TA;) this being termed the خِلْفَة of trees: (S, Mgh:) or a growth of leaves after the falling away of other leaves: (K, * TA: دُونَ in the K is a mistake for بَعْدَ: TA:) or leaves that come forth after the first leaves, in the [season called] صَيْف. (Nh, TA.) b6: What grows in the صَيْف [or summer]; so says A 'Obeyd: (S, K:) or, (JK, Mgh, K,) as also ↓ خِلْفٌ, (K,) the herbage produced by the صيف, (JK, K,) or in the صيف, (Mgh,) after the springherbage has dried up.

A3: Differing [one from another or others]; as also ↓ خِلْفٌ: (K:) it is applied in this sense to a people, or company of men: (Az, S, K:) and to beasts, or horses or the like, as meaning differing (K, TA) in their colours and appearances: (TA:) and خِلْفَتَانِ is applied to any two things that are different; (Ks, TA;) as also ↓ خِلْفَانِ: (Ks, Msb, TA:) and خِلْفَةٌ, (K,) or خِلْفَتَانِ, (Ks, TA,) to any two colours that are combined [because different]. (Ks, K, TA.)

And one says of two children, or two male slaves; or two female slaves, that they are خِلْفَتَانِ, (Ks, K,) and ↓ خِلْفَانِ, (K,) applying to the male and the female, (TA,) meaning One tall and the other short: or one white and the other black.

[of ↓ خِلْفٌ] (K, TA) in all its senses (TA) is أَخْلَافٌ and خِلَفَةٌ; (K, * TA;) the latter, [in the CK خِلْفَةٌ,] like قِرَدَةٌ as pl. of قِرْدٌ. (TA.) خُلْفُفٌ and خُلْفَفٌ and خُلْفُفَةٌ and خُلْفَفَةٌ: see خَالِفٌ, in the latter half of the paragraph. b2: أُمُّ خُلْفُفٍ (Sgh, K) and خُلْفَفٌ Calamity, or misfortune: or the greatest calamity or misfortune. (K.) خِلَفْنَةٌ and خِلَفْنَاةٌ: see خُلْفٌ: b2: and see also خَالِفٌ, in the middle of the paragraph.

خِلَافٌ an inf. n. of 3 [q. v. passim]. (S, &c.) b2: Also The contrary, or opposite, of a thing; syn. ضِدٌّ. (Msb in art. ضد. [Very often used in this sense.]) You say, الاِخْتِلَافُ خِلَافُ الاِتِّفَاقِ [i. e. الاختلاف is the contrary of الاتّفاق] (TA.) A2: Also, (S, Msb, K,) by the vulgar (O, Msb, TA) incorrectly pronounced with teshdeed (O, Msb, K, TA) and fet-h [to the خ, i. e. خَلَّافٌ], (TA,) A well-known kind of tree; (S;) the [kind of tree called] صَفْصَاف: (Msb:) or a species of the صفصاف, but not the صفصاف itself: (K:) [the salix Aegyptia of Linnæus; called by this name in the present day; and by some, improperly, بَانٌ, q. v.:] it abounds in the land of the Arabs; and is [also] called سَوْجَرٌ [or سَوْحَرٌ]; and there are many varieties thereof; all of them soft and weak; (TA;) but it is seldom, or never, found in the desert: (Msb:) they assert that it is thus called because the torrent brings it from one locality to another, so that it grows in a place different from that of its origin; (AHn, Msb, K, * TA;) but this is not a valid assertion: (TA:) [it is a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. with ة. (Msb, TA.) سُوِّينَ مِنْ خِلَافِ, in the saying of the rájiz cited voce خُفٌّ, means Made of different trees: it does not mean of the tree called خِلَاف; because this is seldom, or never, found in the desert. (S, TA.) b2: Also The sleeve of a shirt. (IAar, K.) خُلُوفٌ: see خُلْفٌ.

A2: It is also, as stated above, pl. of خَلْفٌ: (IB, K, TA:) b2: and a pl. of خِلْفٌ. (TA.) خَلِيفٌ: see خَلِيفَةٌ, in three places. b2: Also One who holds back from the place, or time, of promise: and one who breaks a promise. (TA.) b3: And A woman that has let down her hair behind her. (JK, O, K.) b4: And A woman that has attained to the period of one day, or two days, after her having brought forth. (IAar.) [Perhaps from the signification next following.]

b5: A she-camel in the second day after her having brought forth: pl. خُلُفٌ and خُلْفٌ: (K, TA:) these two pls. are mentioned in the K in different places in this art., but both are correct, like رُسُلٌ and رُسْلٌ. (TA.) Hence, (TA,) one says, رَكِبَهَا يَوْمَ خَلِيفِهَا [He rode her on the second day after she had brought forth]. (K.) b6: and The milk that is after the biestings: (AA, K:) pl. as above. (K.) One says also, حَلَبَهَا خَلِيفَ لِبَئِهَا He drew from her the milk that came after the biestings had passed away. (JK.) And اِيتِنَا بِلَبَنِ نَاقَتِكَ يَوْمَ خَلِيفِهَا, i. e. [Bring thou to us the milk of thy she-camel of the day] after the cessation of her biestings; i. e., of the milking that is after her bringing forth by a day or two days. (AA, TA.) A2: Applied to a garment, (S, K,) or a shirt, (Msb,) Having the middle, wornout part taken out, and the [cut] edges then sewed together: (S, Msb, K *:) and ↓ مَخْلُوفٌ signifies the same; (JK;) or a garment composed of two pieces sewed together: or, as some say, this signifies a garment pledged. (TA.) A3: Also, accord. to A 'Obeyd, The part beneath the armpit: and the خَلِيفَانِ of the camel are like the إِبْطَانِ of man: accord. to the S and the O, خَلِيفَا النَّاقَةِ signifies the two armpits of the she-camel (إِبْطَاهَا): but the author of the K, following the [first] explanation given by A 'Obeyd, says that this is wrong, and that the meaning is the parts beneath the two armpits of the she-camel. (TA.) A4: and A gap between two mountains, (JK,) or between two mountain-tops, (TA,) of little breadth and length: (JK, TA:) or a road between two mountains: (S, K:) or a valley between two mountains: (K:) or a place where water pours forth (K, TA) between two mountains, or between two valleys, passing thence into a wide tract: (TA:) and any road in a mountain, (Skr, K,) or behind a mountain, or behind a valley: (TA:) or simply a road; as also ↓ مَخْلَفَةٌ; (JK, K;) this being either in a plain or in a mountain: (TA:) pl. of the former as above. (K.) One says ذِيخُ الخَلِيفِ i. e. [The hairy male hyena] of the road between two mountains, (S, K,) or of the valley between two mountains; (K) like as one says ذِئْبُ غَضًا. (S.) A5: And A sharp arrow: (AHn, K:) or, accord. to Skr, the word in this sense is حَلِيفٌ, with the unpointed ح; and this is more probably correct. (TA.) خَلَافَةٌ: see خُلْفَةٌ.

خِلَافَةٌ inf. n. of خَلَفَهُ as meaning “ he was, or became, his خَلِيفَة ” [q. v.]. (S, Mgh, Msb, K.) b2: [And hence, as a simple subst., The office of خَلِيفَة.]

خَلِيفَةٌ A successor: and a vice-agent, vice-gerent, lieutenant, substitute, proxy, or deputy: (KL:) one who has been made, or appointed, to take the place of him who has been before him: (JK:) an act. part. n. of خَلَفَهُ, inf. n. خَلَفٌ and خِلَافَةٌ; as also ↓ خَلِيفٌ: (TA:) or it may have the meaning of an act. part. n. or that of a pass. part. n.: and so in the sense next following: (Msb:) the supreme, or greatest, ruler or sovereign, (S, Msb, K, TA,) who supplies the place of him who has been before him; (TA;) [particularly the successor of the Prophet; whence

“ Caliph,” commonly used by English writers for “ Khaleefeh; ”] as also ↓ خَلِيفٌ, (K,) which is the original form, (Msb,) without ة; (Msb, TA;) disapproved by some, but mentioned by AHát and Ibn-' Abbád and IB, and occurring in a verse of Ows Ibn-Hajar cited by IB: (TA:) the ة in the former is to denote intensiveness of signification, (Nh, Msb, TA,) as in عَلَّامَةٌ and نَسَّابَةٌ: (Msb:) or, as some say, لِلنَّقْلِ [i. e. for the transference of the word from the category of epithets to that of substs.]: (TA:) it is also said that the word may be an epithet of which the subst. qualified thereby is suppressed, for نَفْسٌ خَلِيفَةٌ; but this requires consideration: (MF, TA:) it is an epithet applied to a man peculiarly: (Msb:) some make it fem.; (Fr, S, Msb, K;) saying هٰذَا خَلِيفَةٌ أُخْرَى [This is another Khaleefeh]; though the proper way is to make it masc.: (Msb:) a poet says, أَبُوكَ خَلِيفَةٌ وَلَدَتْهُ أُخْرَى وَأَنْتَ خَلِيفَةٌ ذَاكَ الكَمَالُ [Thy father was a Khaleefeh, whom another Khaleefeh begat; and thou art a Khaleefeh: that is perfection]: (Fr, S:) the pl. is خَلَائِفُ [generally applied to any people that have succeeded others, and supplied their places, as in the Kur x. 15], (S, K,) like as كَرَائِمُ is pl. of كَرِيمَةٌ; (S;) and خُلَفَآءُ [generally applied to successors of the Prophet], (S, K,) because, as it applies only to the male, and has ة added, the ة is dropped in forming the pl., which is thus like ظُرَفَآءُ as pl. of ظَرِيفٌ: (S:) thus says ISk, and the like is said in the O: but what AHát and Ibn-'Abbád say requires not this straining: (TA:) [i. e.]

خَلَائِفُ is pl. of خَلِيفَةٌ; and خُلَفَآءُ, of ↓ خَلِيفٌ: (JK:) or some, having regard to the original, make the pl. to be خُلَفَآءُ, like as شُرَفَآءُ is pl. of شَرِيفٌ; (Msb;) and this pl. is masc. only, so that you say ثَلَاثَةٌ خُلَفَآءَ: (ISk, Msb, TA:) and some, having regard to the word itself [in its altered and used state], make the pl. to be خَلَائِفُ; (Msb;) and this pl. may have prefixed to it either a masc. or a fem. n. of number, so that you say ثَلَاثَةٌ خَلَائِفَ and ثَلَاثُ خَلَائِفَ; (ISk, Msb, TA;) both of which are chaste. (Msb.) You say, كَانَ اللّٰهُ خَلِيفَةَ وَالِدِكَ عَلَيْكَ [May God be to thee a supplier of the place of thy father]: (S, Msb: *) and in like manner you say, to a person, of any one whom he has lost by death, (S, Msb,) and who cannot be replaced; as the paternal uncle; (Msb;) or the mother. (K.) Some say that the application of the title خَلِيفَةُ اللّٰهِ [The Vicegerent of God] is not allowable, except to Adam and David because there is express authority in these instances [in the Kur ii. 28 and xxxviii. 25]; but others allow it in other cases, like سُلْطَانُ اللّٰهِ and جُنُودُ اللّٰهِ and حِزْبُ اللّٰهِ and خَيْلُ اللّٰهِ; all of which have been heard: (Msb:) and Zj says that it is allowable to say of the Imáms that they are خُلَفَآءُ اللّٰهِ فِى أَرْضِهِ [The Vicegerents of God in his earth]. (TA.) خِلِّيفَةٌ: see the middle of the next paragraph.

خَالِفٌ: see خَلْفٌ, in the former half of the paragraph. b2: Also One who remains behind, or after, another, (Yz, K, TA,) or others, in the case of a war, or a warring and plundering expedition, and in other cases: (TA:) pl. خَالِفُونَ (Yz, K, TA) and خَوَالِفُ, which latter is extr. [in this case], but is also said to be a [reg.] pl. of ↓ خَالِفَةٌ, and as such to signify persons who do not go forth on a warring, or warring and plundering, expedition: and الغَازِى ↓ خَالِفَةُ signifies he who remains behind, or after, him who goes forth on such an expedition, being of his family. (TA.) فَاقْعُدُوا مَعَ الخَالِفِينَ, in the Kur [ix. 84], means Then stay ye with those who remain behind. (Yz, K. *) خَوَالِفُ is also pl. of ↓ خَالِفَةٌ [as fem. of خَالِفٌ], (TA,) and signifies Women (K, TA) remaining behind in the houses or tents: but some assign to it the first of the meanings explained above: and some say that it means the children remaining behind. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [ix. 88 and 94], ↓ رَضُوا بِأَنْ يَكُونُوا مَعَ الخَوَالِفِ, i. e. [They chose to be] with the women: (S, K: *) thus it is explained by Ibn-'Arafeh: but some say that the meaning is, with the bad, or corrupt, persons; and that خوالف is here a pl. [of خَالِفٌ,] like فَوَارِسُ. (TA.) For b3: خَالِفٌ is applied to a man [as meaning Bad, or corrupt]; and ↓ خَالِفَةٌ to a woman as meaning bad, or corrupt, and remaining behind in her abode: and the former to a slave as meaning bad, or corrupt: and also contrarious: and in this last sense it is likewise applied to a companion: and some of the grammarians say that there is no word of the measure فَاعِلٌ having its pl. of the measure فَوَاعِلُ, except خَالِفٌ and هَالِكٌ and فَارِسٌ: but see this last: (TA:) and ↓ خِلِّيفَةٌ, also, has this last signification; (JK, TA;) or [rather] signifies very contrarious; (K;) as also ↓ خَالِفَةٌ; (JK;) and so ↓ خِلَفْنَةٌ, and ↓ خِلَفْنَاةٌ, (Lh, JK, K,) in each of which the ن is augmentative, and each of which is applied to a man and to a woman and to a pl. number; (Lh, K;) but خِلَفْنَيَاتٌ has been mentioned as pl. [of خلفناة], and as applied to males and females: (TA:) and خَالِفُونَ is likewise used in this sense applied to a number of men. (JK.) b4: Also, applied to a slave, [and app. to any man, but in this latter case I find it written خلف, which I believe to be a mistranscription,] One who has withdrawn from the people of his house: so says Lh. (TA.) b5: Also Stupid; foolish; or having little, or no, intellect or understanding; as also ↓ خَالِفَةٌ, (K, TA,) but in an intensive sense, and also applied to a woman; (TA;) and ↓ أَخْلَفُ, (JK, K,) of which the fem. is خَلْفَآءُ; (JK, TA;) and ↓ خُلْفُفٌ, (K,) or ↓ خُلْفَفٌ, (L,) or both, (JK,) likewise applied to a woman, as also ↓ خُلْفُفَةٌ, (K,) or ↓ خُلْفَفَةٌ: (JK:) or, as some say, خَالِفٌ signifies one in whom is no good: and, as also ↓ خَالِفَةٌ, one who has not what suffices: or who often breaks his promises: (TA:) or both of these mean one who has not what suffices, and in whom is no good: or very contrarious. (JM.) One says that a man is أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ↓ خَالِفَةُ and خَالِفُ, اهل بيته, meaning The one in whom is no good, of the people of his house: (S, K:) and the ungenerous: (K:) or the stupid, or foolish: or the bad, or corrupt, and the evil: and it is [said to be] tropical. (TA.) And ↓ قَوْمٌ خَوَالِفٌ Persons in whom is no good. (JK.) b6: And, [app. because he leaves his family behind him,] A drawer of water; (S, TA;) as also ↓ مُسْتَخْلِفٌ [q. v.]: both mentioned in the K; but السَّقَّآءُ is there erroneously put for المُسْتَقِى. (TA.) b7: And Weak, without appetite for food. (TA.) b8: And Flesh-meat from which a slight smell is perceived, but in the chewing of which is no harm. (Lth, TA.) A2: See also خُلْفٌ.

خَالِفَةٌ: see خَلْفٌ, in the former half of the paragraph. Also, particularly, [or perhaps أُمَّةٌ خَالِفَةٌ only in this sense,] A nation, people, or race, remaining after another that has gone before. (I 'Abbád, K.) And One who comes to the water after him who has returned [from it]: whence Aboo-Bekr applied this appellation to himself, from a motive of humility, when asked if he were the Khaleefeh of the Apostle of God. (IAth, TA.) See also خَالِفٌ, in eight places: and see its pl., خَوَالِفُ, in the same paragraph, in two places. b2: Also, applied to a man, [like خِلِّيفَةٌ as explained in the K,] Very contrarious, or adverse, and inimical. (S, * K, * TA.) See also خِلْفٌ. b3: مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ خَالِفَةَ هُوَ, the word خالفة being here imperfectly decl., (S, K,) because of the fem. gender and determinate, being explained by النَّاسِ, (S,) or because determinate and occupying the place of a pl., like as one says أَىُّ تَمِيمَ and أَىُّ أَسَدَ, [or rather, I think, because used as a proper name, as MF, says, (though SM disputes this,) and with the sign of the fem. gender,] means I know not what one of mankind he is; (S, K;) as also أَىُّ خَالِفَةٍ, perfectly decl.; and أَىُّ الخَالِفَةِ; and أَىُّ الخَوَالِفِ; (K;) and so أَىُّ خَافِيَةَ; (K, TA, [in the CK اىّ خَالِفَةٍ again,]) imperfectly decl. (TA.) Lh says that الخَالِفَةُ, writing it thus with ال, signifies النَّاسُ. (TA.) A2: Also One of the poles of a [tent of the kind called] خِبَآء: or one of the poles of a بَيْت [or tent] in the hinder part thereof: (K:) Lh says that the خَالِفَة is the hinder part, or in the hinder part, (اَخر, [i. e. آخِرُ or آخِرَ, app. the latter,]) of a بَيْت; and one says بَيْتٌ ذُو خَالِفَتَيْنِ [app. meaning a tent having two poles in its hinder part]: (TA:) the pl. is خَوَالِفُ: (S, TA:) which is hence applied to the angles, or corners, of a بَيْت: Az says that the خَالِفَة of a بيت is [app. the shirt thereof,] beneath the [ropes called]

أَطْنَاب, in the [part called] كِسْر [q. v.]; and it is also called the خياصة, and the فرجة: [thus I find these two words written, without any syll. signs:] and he cites, as an ex., مَا خِفْتُ حَتَّى هَتَكُوا الخَوَالِفَ [app. meaning And I feared not until they rent open the skirts of the tent, or tents]: (TA:) or, as some say, the خَالِفَتَانِ are the two sides of a tent, and its رِوَاق is its fore part, and its كِفَآء is its hinder part. (TA in art. روق.) b2: خَوَالِفُ, (Yz, K,) or خَوَالِفُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ, (TA,) Lands that produce not plants, or herbage, save among the last of lands. (Yz, K, * TA.) A3: See also خُلْفٌ.

أَخْلَفُ: see خَالِفٌ, in the latter half of the paragraph. b2: Also Contrarious, hard in disposition, as though going with a leaning towards one side: (K:) and [simply] leaning towards one side; applied to a camel: (S, K:) so says A'Obeyd; (S, TA;) and so As. (TA.) b3: Also A camel that has the sheath of his penis slit, and that will not remain stationary, by reason of pain: (TA:) and ↓ مَخْلُوفٌ signifies a camel having the sheath of his penis slit in the hinder part, (JK, TA,) when suffering suppression of his urine in consequence of the pressure of his hind girth upon his sheath: so says El-Fezáree. (TA.) b4: And Left-handed. (JK, K.) b5: And Squinteyed; syn. أَحْوَلُ. (K.) b6: Accord. to some, (TA,) A torrent: (K, TA:) or, as some say, a river. (Skr, TA.) b7: And A male serpent. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) [All these meanings seem to have been assigned to the word as occurring in a verse of Aboo-Kebeer El-Hudhalee, in which he likens the course of a wolf in a narrow road to the course of the أَخْلَف.]

A2: [Also More, and most, wont to break promises. Hence the prov., mentioned by Meyd, أَخْلَفُ مِنْ عُرْقُوبٍ More wont to break promises than 'Orkoob: a certain man who rendered himself notorious for breaking his promises. See Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 454. b2: And More, and most, disagreeing, differing, dissentient, contrary, contrarious, or opposing. See an ex. in a prov. cited voce ثِيلٌ. b3: And app. More, and most, offensive in the odour of the mouth. See Freytag's Arab. Prov. ubi suprà.]

تَخَالِيفُ Different colours. (TA.) مَخْلَفٌ: see مَخْلَفَةٌ.

مُخْلِفٌ A camel that has exceeded in age the بَازِل; [which latter is generally one that has entered the ninth year;] (S, M, K;) beyond which there is no age [having an epithet to denote it]; therefore, (TA,) one says مُخْلِفُ عَامٍ and مُخْلِفُ عَامَيْنِ [that has exceeded in age the بازل by a year and by two years]; (S, TA; [see 4;]) applied alike to the male and the female; (S, K;) and the female is also termed مُخْلَفَةٌ: (K:) or this latter signifies (tropical:) a she-camel that appears, (S, K,) or is thought, (A,) to be pregnant, and is not pregnant: (S, A, K:) and the pl. is مَخَالِيفُ. (TA.) b2: See also مِخْلَافٌ. b3: Also A man whose cattle have not obtained the [herbage termed]

(K, TA.) b6: مُخْلِفُ جَنْبٍ Having one half of his face and of his mouth turning sideways.

طبع

1 طَبَعَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. طَبْعٌ, He sealed, stamped, imprinted, or impressed; syn. خَتَمَ: (Msb:) [and, as now used, he printed a book or the like:] تَبْعٌ and خَتْمٌ both signify the making an impression in, or upon, clay and the like: (S, Mgh, O, K:) or, as Er-Rághib says, the impressing a thing with the engraving of the signet and stamp: (TA in this art. and in art. ختم: [see more in the first paragraph of the latter art:]) and he says also that طَبْعٌ signifies the figuring a thing with some particular figure; as in the case of the طَبْع of the die for stamping coins, and the طَبْع of coins [themselves]: but that it is more general in signification than خَتْمٌ, and more particular than نَقْشٌ; as will be shown by what follows: accord. to Aboo-Is-hák the Grammarian, طَبْعٌ and خَتْمٌ both signify the covering over a thing, and securing oneself from a thing's entering it: and IAth says [in like manner] that they held طَبْعٌ to be syn. with رَيْنٌ [inf. n. of رَانَ]: but Mujáhid says that رَيْنٌ denotes less than طَبْعٌ; and طَبْعٌ, less than إِقْفَالٌ [or the “ closing with a lock: ” this he says with reference to a phrase in the Kur xlvii. 26]. (TA.) You say, طَبَعَ الكِتَابَ, (Mgh, Msb,) and طَبَعَ عَلَى

الكِتَابِ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, *) He sealed (خَتَمَ, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) the writing, or letter. (S, Mgh, Msb.) And طَبَعَ He branded, or otherwise marked, the sheep, or goat. (O. [See طَابَعٌ.]) And طَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ (tropical:) God sealed [or set a seal upon] his [i. e. an unbeliever's] heart, so that he should not heed admonition, nor be disposed to that which is good; (Mgh;) or so that belief should not enter it: (O:) [and in like manner, خَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ, q. v.:] in this, regard is had to the طَبْع, and the طَبِيعَة, which is the natural constitution or disposition; for it denotes the characterizing of the soul with some particular quality or qualities, either by creation or by habit, and more especially by creation. (Er-Rághib, TA.) b2: Also He began to make, or manufacture, a thing: and he made [a thing] as in instances here following. (Mgh.) You say, طَبَعَ مِنَ الطِّينِ جَرَّةً He made, [or fashioned, or moulded,] of the clay, a jar. (S, O, K.) And طَبَعَ اللَّبِنَ, (Mgh, TA,) and السَّيْفَ, (S, Mgh, O, K,) and الدِّرْهَمُ, (S, O, K,) He made (S, Mgh, O, K) [the crude bricks, and the sword, and the dirhem]: or طَبَعَ الدَّرَاهِمَ he struck (Mgh, Msb) with the die (Msb) [i. e. coined, or minted,] the dirhems, or money. (Mgh, Msb.) And [hence] one says, طَبَقَهُ اللّٰهُ عَلَى الأَمْرِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) God created him with an adaptation, or a disposition, to the thing, affair, state, condition, or case; or adapted him, or disposed him, by creation, [or nature], thereto. (TA.) And طُبِعَ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ (assumed tropical:) He (a man, O, TA) was created with an adaptation, or a disposition, to the thing; or was adapted, or disposed, by creation [or nature], thereto; syn. جُبِلَ, (IDrd, O, K, TA,) or فُطِرَ. (Lh, TA.) b3: Also, (aor. as above, TA, and so the inf. n., O, TA,) He filled (Er-Rághib, O, K, TA) a measure for corn or the like, (Er-Rághib, TA,) or a leathern bucket, (O, K, TA,) and a skin, (O, TA,) &c.; (O;) and so ↓ طبّع, (S, O, K,) inf. n. تَطْبِيعٌ: (S, O:) because the quantity that fills it is a sign that prevents the taking a portion of what is in it [without the act's being discovered]. (Er-Rághib, TA.) b4: And طَبَعَ قَفَاهُ, (IAar, O, K,) inf. n. as above, (IAar, O,) He struck the back of his neck with his hand; (IAar, O, K;) i. e. the back of the neck of a boy: if with the ends of the fingers, one says, قَذَّ قَفَاهُ.

طَبَعَ,] inf. n. طَبَعٌ, said of a sword, It was, or became, rusty, or overspread with rust: (S:) or very rusty, or overspread with much rust. (K, TA: from an explanation of the aor. : but this is written in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, and in the O, يُطْبَعُ. [An explanation of طَبَعٌ in the O and K confirms the reading يَطْبَعُ; and another confirmation thereof will be found in what follows in this paragraph.]) b2: Said of a thing, (Msb,) or of a garment, or piece of cloth, (TA,) inf. n. طَبَعٌ, It was, or became, dirty; (Msb, TA;) and ↓ تطّبع is likewise said [in the same sense] of a garment, or piece of cloth. (M and TA voce رَانَ, in art. رين.) b3: Said of a man, (assumed tropical:) He was or became, filthy or foul [in character]. (S.) And (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, sluggish, lazy, or indolent. (S.) One says of a man, يَطْبَعُ, (O, K,) like يَفْرَحُ, (K,) meaning (assumed tropical:) He has no penetrative energy, sharpness, or effectiveness, in the affairs that are the means, or causes, of attaining honour, like the sword that is overspread with much rust. (O, K.) A3: طُبِعَ, (O, K,) inf. n. طَبْعٌ, (O,) said of a man, (assumed tropical:) He was rendered [or pronounced] filthy or foul [in character]; (O, K;) on the authority of Sh; (O;) and so طَبِعَ, like فَرِحَ; (TA as on the authority of Sh; [but this I think doubtful;]) and disgraced, or dishonoured: (K:) and ↓ طُبِّعَ, (O, TA,) inf. n. تَطْبِيعٌ, (TA,) he was rendered [or pronounced] filthy or foul [in character], (O, TA,) and blamed, or discommended.

And تطبّع بِالمَآءِ It (a river, or rivulet,) overflowed its sides with the water, and poured it forth abundantly. (TA.) b3: See also 1, last quarter.7 يَذُوبُ وَيَنْطَبِعُ, a phrase of Es-Sarakhsee, meaning [It melts, and then] it admits of being sealed, stamped, imprinted, or impressed, is allowable on the ground of analogy, though we have not heard it [as transmitted from the Arabs of pure speech]. (Mgh.) b2: [Golius has erroneously expl. انطبع as meaning “ Mansuetus, edoctus, obsequens fuit; ” on the authority of the KL; evidently in consequence of his having found its inf. n. (اِنْطِبَاعٌ) written in a copy of that work for اِنْطِياعٌ, the reading in my own copy.]8 الاِطِّبَاعُ for الاِضْطِبَاعُ see in art ضبع.

Thus in the Kur [civ. 2], الَّذِى جَمَّعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ (S, * Bd) Who hath collected much wealth, and hath made it a provision for the casualties of fortune, or reckoned it time after time: (Bd:) [or who hath amassed, or accumulated, wealth, &c.:] or who hath gained, acquired, or earned, wealth, &c.; thus differing from جَمَعَ, explained above: but it is allowable to say مَالًا ↓ جَمَعَ, without teshdeed; (Fr;) and thus it is [generally] read in this passage of the Kur. (Bd.) See also 1. b2: حَمَّعَتْ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (K,) She (a hen) collected her eggs in her belly. (K, TA.) b3: جَمَّعُوا, (inf. n. as above, S,) They were present on the Friday, (S, Mgh, Msb,) or with the congregation [then collected], (Mgh,) and performed the prayers [with the congregation] on that day.

(Lh, * TA.) 4 اجمع: see 1. أَجْمَعْتُ الشَّىْءَ signifies I put the thing together; such, for instance, as spoil, or plunder. (S.) You say, أَجْمَعْتُ النَّهْبِ, meaning I collected together from every quarter the camels taken as spoil from the people to whom they belonged, and drove them away: (AHeyth:) or إِجْمَاعٌ signifies [simply] the driving of camels together, or collectively. (K.) b2: الإِجْمَاعُ also signifies The composing and settling a thing which has been discomposed [and unsettled]; as an opinion upon which one determines, resolves, or decides: (TA:) or جَعْلُ الأَمْرِ جَمِيعًا بَعْدَ تَفَرُّقِهِ, (AHeyth, K,) i. e. the determining, resolving, or deciding, upon an affair, so as to make it firmly settled, [after it had been unsettled in the mind, or] after considering what might be its issues, or results, and saying at one time, I will do thus, and at another time, I will do thus.

(Bd.) It is also said that the phrase, in the Kur [xx. 67], فَأَجْمِعُوا كَيْدَكُمْ meansTherefore determine ye, or resolve, or decide, upon your artifice, or stratagem: (TA:) but some read كَيْدَكُمْ ↓ فَاجْمَعُوا, (Bd, TA,) meaning therefore combine ye all your artifice; leave nothing thereof unexerted; (TA;) and this latter reading is favoured by the phrase كَيْدَهُ ↓ فَجَمَع [in verse 62 of the same ch.].

Yousay, أَجْمَعُوا عَلَى الأَمْرِ meaning They agreed, or were of one mind or opinion, upon, or respecting, the affair; (Mgh, Msb;) [and so عَلَيْهِ ↓ اجتمعوا; and عليه ↓ تجمّعوا.] b4: Also The preparing [a thing], or making [it] ready; syn. الإِعْدَادُ.

You say, اجمع بِالنَّاقَةِ, (S, TA,) and اجمع النَّاقَةِ, (TA,) He so bound the teats of the she-camel; (S, TA;) and so أَكْمَشَ بِهَا. (TA.) b6: Also The drying [a thing]; drying [it] up; making [it] dry; syn. التَّجْفِيفُ وَالإِيبَاسُ. (K TA. [In the CK, erroneously, التَخْفُيفُ والاِيْناسُ.]) Hence the saying of Aboo-Wejzeh Es-Saadee, وَأَجْمَعَتِ الهَوَاجِرُ كُلَّ رَجْعٍ

مِنَ الأَجْمَادِ وَالدَّمِثِ البَثَآءِ i.e. [And the vehement mid-day-heats] dried up every pool left by a torrent [of the hard and elevated grounds and of the soft and even ground]. (TA.) b7: اجمع المَطَرُ الأَرْضِ The rain made the whole of the land, both its soft tracts and its hard tracts, to flow: (K:) and in like manner you say, أَجْمَعَتِ الأَرْضُ سَائِلَةً The land flowed in its soft tracts [as well as in its hard tracts; i. e., in every part].

And اجتمع مَعَهُ عَلَى أَمْرِ كَذَا: (S, K:) see 3, first sentence: and see the sentence there next following. And in like manner, عَلَى ↓ تجمّعوا فُلَانٍ They combined, conspired, or leagued, together against such a one. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA in art. ضفر.) [See also اجتمعوا عَلَى الأَمْرِ in 4, latter half.] You also say, اِجْتَمَعَتِ آرَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى الأَمْرِ [Their opinions agreed together, or were in unison, upon, or respecting, the affair]. (Er-Rághib.) and اِجْتَمَعَتْ شَرَائِطُ الإِمَامَةِ The conditions of the office of Imám occurred together [or were combined, or they coexisted, in such a case]; as also ↓ اِسْتَجْمَعَتْ. (Msb: [but it is implied in the Mgh that the latter verb in this sense is not of established authority.]) [See a similar ex. voce ارتفع.] b2: [He, or it, was, or became, compact in make or frame, compressed, contracted, or the like. b3: And hence,] He (a man) attained to his full state of manly vigour, and his beard became fullgrown. (K, TA.) The verb is not thus used in speaking of a woman. (S, TA.) b4: [Hence also,] اجتمع فِى الحَاجَةِ [He was quick and vigorous in executing the needful affair, or in accomplishing that which was wanted; as though he compacted his frame, and collected all his energy: see مَشَى مُجْتَمِعًا, below: and see also 10].

(S, TA.) [But this usage of the verb is perhaps post-classical: for Mtr says,] With respect to the saying of ElAbeewardee, شَآمِيَّةٌ تَسْتَجْمِعُ الشَّوْلَ حَرْجَفُ [A north wind, cold and vehement, inviting to collect themselves together the she-camels whose milk has dried up, they having passed seven or eight months since bringing forth, or since pregnancy], it seems that he has compared this verb with the generality of others of the same class, [and so derived the meaning in which he has here used it,] or that he heard it [in that sense] from the people of the cities, or towns, or villages, and cultivated lands. (Mgh.) A2: استجمع used intransitively is syn. with اجتمع, which see in two places, and تجمّع. (Msb, K.) b2: استجمع السَّيْلُ The torrent collected itself together from every place.

(Mgh, K.) b5: استجمع الفَرَسُ جَرْيًا (S, Mgh, K) The horse exerted all his force, or energy, in running: (K, TA:) the last word is here in the accus. case as a specificative. (Mgh.) You say also, اِسْتَجْمَعُوا لَهُمْ, meaning They exerted [all] their strength, force, or energy, for fighting them: and hence, لَكُمْ ↓ إِنَّ النَّاسِ قَدْ جَمَعُوا [app. meaning Verily the men, or people, have exerted all their strength for fighting you]. (A, TA.) b6: استجمع القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, all went away, not one of them remaining; like as one says of a valley flowing in every place thereof. (TA.) b7: استجمع البَقْلُ The herbs, or leguminous plants, all dried up. (TA.) جَمْعٌ inf. n. of 1. (S, &c.) [Hence,] يَوْمُ الجَمْعِ The day of resurrection [when all mankind will be collected together]. (IDrd, K.) b2: Also, without the article ال, A name of El-Muzdelifeh [between 'Arafát and Minè]; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) determinate, like عَرَفَاتُ: (TA:) so called because people collect themselves there; (S, Msb;) or because Adam there met with Eve (Mgh, Msb) after they had fallen [from Paradise]: (TA:) [or, app., a name of the tract from 'Arafát to Minè inclusive of these two places: and hence,] يَوْمُ جَمْعٍ the day of 'Arafeh [when the pilgrims halt at Mount 'Arafát]: and أَيَّامُ جَمْعٍ the days of Minè. (IDrd, K.) b3: As an inf. n. used as a subst., properly so termed, (S, * Mgh, Msb,) it also signifies A collection; a number together; an assembly; a company, troop, congregated or collective body, party, or group; a mass; syn. ↓ جَمَاعَةٌ, (S, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) of men; (S, L, K;) as also ↓ مَجْمَعٌ (L, Msb, TA) and ↓ مَجْمِعٌ (Msb) and ↓ مَجْمَعَةٌ (L, TA) and ↓ جَمِيعٌ: (O, K:) but ↓ جَمَاعَةٌ is also used as signifying a collection, a number together, or an assemblage, of other things than men; [of beasts, as camels, horses and the like, bulls and cows, and antelopes, gazelles, &c., i. e. a herd, troop, or drove; of dogs, i. e. a pack; of sheep and goats, i. e. a flock; of birds, i. e. a flock or bevy; of bees, and locusts, &c., i. e. a swarm;] and even of trees, and of plants; (L, TA;) it signifies a collection, or an assemblage, or aggregate, of any things, consisting of many and of few; (Msb;) [as also ↓ مَجْمُوعٌ and ↓ مَجْمَعٌ;] a number, a plurality, and a multitude, of any things: (TA:) the pl. of جَمْعٌ is جُمُوعٌ. (S, Mgh, Msb, K.) b4: and particularly, An army; a military force; (TA;) as also ↓ جَمِيعٌ. (S, K.) Whence the phrase, in a trad., لَهُ سَهْمٌ جَمْعٌ, [or, more probably, سَهْمُ جَمْعٍ,] meaning For him or shall be, the like of an army's share of the spoil. (TA.) b5: Also The plural of a thing [or word; i. e. a proper plural, according to the grammarians; and also applied by the lexicologists to a quasi-plural noun, which the grammarians distinguish by the terms اِسْمُ جَمْعٍ and جَمْعٌ لُغَوِىٌّ]; and so ↓ جِمَاعٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ جَمِيعٌ, except that this last is what is termed اِسْمٌ لَازِمٌ [app. meaning a subst. which does not govern another as its complement in the gen. case like as جَمْعٌ and جِمَاعٌ do, being thus likened to what is termed فِعْلٌ لَازِمٌ, i. e. an intransitive verb; so that you say of الخِبَآءُ, for instance, الجَمِيعُ الأَخْبِيَةُ the plural is الاخبية; for in this manner I always find it used when it has this signification, which is frequently the case in several of the older lexicons, and in some others; not جَمِيعُ الخِبَآءِ الأَخْبِيَةُ]; (TA;) [whereas] you say, [جَمْعُ الخِبَآءِ الأَخْبِيَةُ and] ↓ جِمَاعُ الخِبَآءِ الأَخْبِيَةُ, (S, K,) i. e. the جَمْع [or plural] of الخباء is الخِبَآءِ; (K) for ↓ الجِمَاعُ is what comprises a number [of things].

See also this last word below. b6: And see also the next paragraph, in three places. b7: The worst sort of dates; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) because they are collected together and mixed, (Mgh, Msb,) from among the dates of fifty palm-trees: (Mgh:) and afterwards, by predominant usage, [any] bad dates: (Mgh, * Msb:) or a certain kind of dates (K, TA) mixed together, of several sorts, not in request, and not mixed but for their badness: (TA:) or it signifies, (Mgh, K,) or signifies also, (S, Msb,) palm-trees (As, S, Mgh, Msb, K) of any kind, (As, Mgh, Msb,) growing from the date-stones, (S, K,) of which the name is unknown. (As, S, Mgh, Msb, K.) b8: Red gum; (Ibn-'Abbád, K;) [app. because collected and mixed with gum of lighter colour.] b9: The milk of any camel having her udder bound with the صِرَار [q. v.]; ([i. e. the milk that collects in the udder so bound;] that of any camel not having her udder bound therewith is called فُوَاقٌ;) as also ↓ جَمِيعٌ. (K.) الجُمْعُ, (TA, and EM p. 102,) and جُمْعُ الكَفِّ, (S, Msb, K,) and الكَفِّ ↓ جِمْعُ, (Msb, K, and so in the margin of a copy of the S, as mentioned in the TA,) and الكَفِّ ↓ جَمْعُ, (Msb,) The fist; the hand clinched; (S, Msb, K;) the hand with the fingers put together and contracted in the palm: (TA, * and EM ubi suprà:) pl. أَجْمَاعٌ.

And جَآءَ فُلَانٌ بِقُبْضَةٍ مِلْءٍ جُمْعِهِ Such a one came with a quantity in his grasp as much as filled his clinched hand. (S, TA.) and جُمْعُ الكَفِّ signifies [also] The quantity that a hand grasps, of money &c. (Ham p. 778.) b2: أَخَذْتُ فُلَانًا بِجُمْعِ ثِيَابِهِ, (S, Msb, *) and ↓ بِجَمْعِ ثِيَابِهِ, (Msb,) i. e. [I took, or seized, such a one] by the part where his garments met together. (Msb.) b3: أَمْرُهُمْ بِجُمْعِ, and ↓ بِجِمْعٍ, (tropical:) Their affair, or case, is concealed, (S, K,) undivulged by them, and unknown by any one [beside them].

(Az.) You say also, نَاقَةٌ جُمْعٌ A she-camel with young. (TA.) And ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ جَامِعٌ A woman with child. (TA.) جِمْعٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in six places.

جُمَعٌ pl. of جَمْعَآءُ, fem. of أَجْمَعُ [q. v.].

جُمْعَةٌ is [a subst.] from الاِجْتِمَاعُ, like as [its contr.] فُرْقَةٌ is [ a subst.] from الااِفْتِرَاقُ: (Mgh:) and signifies A state of union, agreement, congruity, or congregation: or sociableness, socialness, familiarity, companionableness, companionship, fellowship, friendship, and amity: syn. أُلْفَةٌ: as in the saying, أَدَامَ اللّٰهُ جُمْعَةَ مَا بَيْنَكُمَا [May God make permanent the state of union, &c., subsisting between you two]. (Aboo-Sa'eed, K.) b2: Hence, (Mgh,) يَوْمُ الجُمْعَةِ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) the original form, (TA,) of the dial. of 'Okeyl; (Msb, TA;) and يَوْمُ الجُمُعَةِ, (S, Msb, K,) the most chaste form, (TA,) of the dial. of El-Hijáz; (Msb, TA;) and يَوْمُ الجُمَعَةِ, (Msb, K,) of the dial. of Benoo-Temeem; (Msb, TA;) and, in consequence of frequency of usage, الجُمَعَةُ alone; (Mgh;) A well-known day; (K;) [the day of the congregation; i. e. Friday;] formerly called (TA) the day of العَرُوبَة: (S, TA:) called يوم الجمعة because of the congregating of the people thereon: (Msb:) Th asserts that the first who named it thus was Kaab Ibn-Lu-eí; and he is related to have said that it was thus called because Kureysh used to gather themselves together to Kuseí, [on that day,] in [the building called] دَارُ النَّدْوَةِ: (TA:) accord. to the R, Kaab Ibn-Lu-eí was the first who collected a congregation on the day of العروبة, which was not called الجمعة save since the coming of El-Islám; [or it was not generally thus called before El-Islám; for it is added,] and he was the first who named it الجمعة; for Kureysh used to congregate to him on this day, and he used to preach to them, and to put them in mind of the mission of the apostle of God, informing them that he should be of his descendants, and bidding them to follow him and to believe in him: (TA:) or, as some say, it was thus called in the time of El-Islám because of their congregating [thereon] in the mosque: accord. to a trad., the Ansár named it thus, because of their congregating thereon: (TA:) or it was thus named because God collected thereon the materials of which Adam was created: (I 'Ab:) those who say الجُمَعَةُ regard it as an epithet, meaning that this day collects men much; comparing it to هُمَزَةٌ and لُمَزَةٌ and ضُحَكَةٌ: (TA:) the pl. is جُمَعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and جُمْعَاتٌ (Msb, K) and جُمُعَاتٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and جُمَعَاتٌ; (Msb, K;) of which the last is pl. of جُمَعَةٌ, [as well as of جُمْعَةٌ, accord. to analogy,] but not so جُمَعٌ (AHát) [nor either of the other pls. mentioned above]. b3: In like manner you say صَلَاةٌ الجُمْعَةِ [The prayer of Friday], and, in consequence of the frequency of usage, الجُمْعَةُ alone. (Mgh.) b4: الجُمْعَةُ, with the م quiescent, is also a name for [The week; i. e.] the days of the week [collectively]; of which the Arabs are said, by IAar, to have reckoned the Sabbath (السَّبْت [i. e. Saturday]) as the first, though they called Sunday the first of the days. (Msb.) b5: جُمْعَةٌ is also syn. with مَجْمُوعَةٌ [meaning Things collected together; or a collection of things]; (K;) as in the phrase جُمْعَةٌ مِنْ حَصًى [a collection of pebbles]. (TA.) b6: You say also جُمْعَةٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ, meaning A handful of dates. (S, K.) جَمْعِىٌّ Of, or relating to, a plural.]

جُمَعِىٌّ One who fasts on Friday by himself. (IAar, Th.) جِمَاعٌ: see جَمْعٌ as signifying “ a plural,” in three places. [The primary signification seems to be the last there mentioned; where it is said,] الجِمَاعُ is What comprises a number [of things]: (S, K:) one says, الخَمْرُ جِمَاعُ الإِثْمِ (S, TA) [i. e. Wine is what comprises a number of sins: or] that in which sin is comprised, and known to be: the saying is a trad.: (TA:) or جِمَاعُ الإِثْمِ signifies the plurality (جَمْع) of sins. (Msb.) Hence also the saying of El-Hasan El-Basree, اِتَّقُوا هٰذِهِ الأَهْوَآءَ فَإِنَّ جِمَاعَهَا الضَّلَالَةُ وَمَعَادَهَا النَّارُ [Beware ye of these natural desires; for what they involve is error, and the place to which they lead is the fire of Hell]. (TA: in the L, وميعادها.) And it is said in a trad., حَدِّثْنِى بِكَلِمَةٍ تَكُونُ جِمَاعًا i. e. Tell me a saying comprising [virtually] a plurality of sayings. (TA.) [See a similar phrase below, voce جَامِعٌ.] b2: [Hence also,] بُرْمَةٌ جِمَاعٌ A stonecooking-pot of the largest size: (Ks, L:) or قِدْرٌ جِمَاعٌ, and ↓ جَامِعَةٌ, (S, K, TA,) a cooking-pot that comprises a slaughtered camel; or, accord. to the A, that comprises a sheep or goat: (TA:) or a great cooking-pot; (S, K;) as also ↓ جَامِعٌ: (Sgh, K:) pl. [most probably of this last] جُمْعٌ [like as بُزْلٌ is pl. of بَازِلٌ, &c.]. (K.) b3: Yousay also, فُلَانٌ جِمَاعٌ لِبَنِى فُلَانٍ Such a one is an object of resort for his counsel and authority to the sons of such a one. (TA.) A2: [See also 3.]

جَمُوعٌ: see جَمَّاعٌ.

جَمِيعٌ In a state of collection, congregation, or union; being together; met together; [as also ↓ مُجْتَمِعٌ;] contr. of مُتَفَرِّقٌ. (S, K.) You say قَوْمٌ جَمِيعٌ A people, or number of men, in a state of collection, &c.; being together; met together; syn. ↓ مُجْتَمِعُونَ: (TA:) and in like manner, ↓ إِبِلٌ جَمَّاعَةٌ Camels in a state of collection; &c. (TA.) b2: [All, or the whole, of any things or thing.] See أَجْمَعُ, last sentence. b3: [As an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant,] A tribe [or any number of men] in a state of collection, congregation, or union; being together; met together; syn. ↓ حَىٌّ مُجْتَمِعٌ. (S, K.) See also جَمْعٌ, in four places. b4: A man compact, or compressed, or contracted, in make, or frame: (الخَلْقِ ↓ مُجْتَمِعُ;) strong; who has not become decrepit nor infirm.

(TA.) b6: رَجُلٌ جَمِيعُ الرَّأْىِ, and ↓ مُجْتَمِعُهُ, A man of right, not disordered or unsettled, opinion, or judgment, or counsel. (TA.) b7: جَعَلَ الأَمْرَ جَمِيعًا بَعْدَ تَفَرُّقِهِ (AHeyth, K) He determined, resolved, or decided, upon the affair, so as to make it firmly settled, [after it had been unsettled in his mind, or] after considering what might be its issues, or results, and saying at one time, I will do thus, and at another time, I will do thus. (AHeyth.) جَمَاعَةٌ: see جَمْعٌ, in two places.

جَمَّاعٌ and ↓ مِجْمَعٌ [are mentioned together, but not explained, in the TA: the former signifies, and probably, judging from analogy, the latter likewise, as also ↓ جَمُوعٌ, One who collects much; or who collects many things]. b2: إِبِلٌ جَمَّاعَةٌ: see جَمِيعٌ جُمَّاعٌ Anything of which the several component parts are collected, brought, gathered, or drawn, together. (IDrd, K.) b2: [Hence,] as an epithet, applied to a woman, it means Short. (TA.) b3: [Hence also,] جُمَّاعٌ الثُّرَيَّا The cluster of the Pleiades: (IDrd:) or persons who collect together for the rain of the Pleiades, which is the rain called الوَسْمِىّ, looking for the fruitfulness and herbage resulting from it. (IAar.) b4: And جُمَّاعُ النَّاسِ A medley, or mixed or promiscuous multitude or collection, of men, or people, (S, Msb, K,) of various tribes; (S, K;) as also جُمَّاعٌ alone: (TA:) or the latter, people scattered, or in a state of dispersion. (Ham p. 302.) b5: جُمَّاعٌ also signifies The place [either properly or tropically] which comprises the origin of anything; (K, TA;) the source of descent or extraction of people; and hence applied by I 'Ab to main tribes from which other tribes are derived; or, as some say, used by him as meaning various classes of men, such as are termed أَوْزَاع and أَوْشَاب. (TA.) b6: [And The main, or most essential, part of a thing. Thus,] جُمَّاعُ جَسَدِ الإِنْسَانِ means The head of the man. (TA.) b7: جُمَّاعُ التَّمْرِ The contraction (تَجَمُّع) of the envelopes of the flowers of dates, in one place, upon [the germs of] the fruit, or produce, thereof. (TA.) جَامِعٌ [act. part. n. of 1; Collecting; &c.] b2: الجَامِعُ one of the names of God; meaning The Collector of the created beings for the day of reckoning: or, as some say, the Combiner of things of similar natures and of things of contrary natures, in existence. (IAth.) b3: The belly; [because it collects what passes from the stomach;] of the dial. of El-Yemen. (TA.) b4: Also, (Msb,) or المَسْجِدُ الجَامِعُ, (S, K,) [The congregational mosque;] the mosque in which the [congregational] prayers of Friday are performed; because it collects the people for a certain time; (Msb;) and you may also say, مَسْجِدُ الجَامِعِ, meaning مَسْجِدُ اليَوْمِ الجَامِعِ, (S, K,) like as you say الحَقُّ اليَقِينُ and حَقُّ اليَقِينِ, [the latter] as meaning حَقُّ الشَّىْءِ اليَقِينِ; for it is not allowable to prefix a noun to another of the same meaning except with this kind of subaudition; or, accord. to Fr, the Arabs used to do so because of the difference of the two words themselves: (S:) or مسجد الجامع is a mistake: (K:) so says Lth; but all others allow it; for the Arabs prefix a subst. to another signifying the same thing, and also to its epithet, as in the phrases in the Kur دِينُ القَيِّمَةِ [ch. xcviii. v. 4] and وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ [ch. xlvi. v. 15]: (Az, TA:) [pl. جَوَامِعُ.] b5: مِصْرٌ جَامِعٌ [A great town comprising a large population; a comprehensive great town]. (Msb in art. مدن [where it is given as the explanation of مَدِينَةٌ]; and K in art. قرى [where it is less properly given as the explanation of قَرْيَةٌ].) b6: قِدْرٌ جَامِعٌ and جَامِعَةٌ: see جِمَاعٌ b7: اِمْرَأَةٌ جامِعٌ: see the paragraph commencing with الجُمْعُ; last signification. b8: أَتَانٌ جَامِعٌ A she-ass pregnant when beginning to be so. (S, O, K.) b9: ↓ جَامِعَةٌ A [collar of the kind called]

غُلّ; (S, K;) because it collects together the two hands to the neck: (S:) pl. جَوَامِعُ. (TA.) b10: أَمْرٌ جَامِعٌ An affair that collects people together: or, as Er-Rághib says, a momentous affair, on account of which people collect themselves together; as though the affair itself collected them. (TA.) [Similar to this is the saying,] الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ لِكُلِّ النَّاسِ Prayer is a collector of all people. (Msb.) b11: It is said of Mohammad, (Msb,) كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِجَوَامِعِ الكَلِمِ He used to speak comprehensive but concise language; language conveying many meanings in few words. (Msb, K. [In the CK, الكلم is omitted.]) and hence the saying of 'Omar Ibn-'Abd-el-'Azeez, عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ لَاحَنَ النَّاسَ كَيْفَ لَا يَعْرِفُ جَوَامِعَ الكَلِمِ, meaning [I wonder at him who vies with men in endeavouring to show his superiority of intelligence,] how it is that he does not [know the way to] confine himself to conciseness, and abstain from superfluity, of speech. (TA.) In like manner, (TA,) it is said in a trad., أُوتِيتُ جَوَامِعَ الكَلِمِ, meaning I have had communicated to me the Kur-án, (K, TA,) in which many meanings are comprised in a few words. (TA.) الجَوَامِعُ مِنَ الدُّعَآءِ, also, signifies Prayers, or supplications, combining petitions for good and right objects of desire with praise of God and with the general prescribed observances proper to the case. (TA.) You say also, المَحَامِدِ ↓ حَمِدْتُ اللّٰهَ بِمَجَامِعِ I praised God with words comprising various forms of praise. (Msb.) [See also جِمَاعٌ.] b12: رَجُلٌ جَامِعٌ A man who combines such qualities that he is suited to hardship and to easiness of circumstances. (As. T in art. ادم.) And رَجُلٌ جَامِعٌ لِلْــخَيْرِ (T and M and K in art. ام) A man combining all kinds of good qualities. (TK in that art.) b13: دَابَّةٌ جَامِعٌ A beast fit for the إِكَاف and the سَرْج [i. e. for the saddle of either of the kinds thus called].

(TA.) جَامِعَةٌ used as a subst.: see the next preceding paragraph.

أَجْمَعُ [Collecting, comprising, or containing, a greater, or the greatest, number or quantity; more, or most, comprehensive. Of its usage in a superlative sense, the following are exs.]. إِذَا أَخَذَ شَاهِدَ زُورٍ بَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى السُّوقِ أَجْمَعَ مَا كَانَ [When he took a false witness, he sent him to the market when it comprised, or contained, the greatest number of people]: اجمع being here in the accus. case as a denotative of state with respect to the سوق: and the reason why كانت is not here said [instead of كان] is that سوق is sometimes masc. (Mgh.) And اِفْعَلْ مَا هُوَ أَجْمَعُ لِأُصُولِ الأَحْكَامِ [Do thou that which is most comprehensive in relation to the principles of the ordinances applying to the case]. (Msb in art. حوط.) A2: [As a simple epithet, Entire, complete, or whole: fem.

جَمْعَآءُ. You say,] بَهِيمَةٌ جَمْعَآءُ A beast free from defects, entire in all its limbs or members, without mutilation, and without cauterization; (TA;) a beast from the body of which nothing has gone.

A3: It is also a sing. having the meaning of a pl., (S, K,) without any proper sing. of its own: (S:) its pl. is أَجْمَعُونَ: and its fem. is جَمْعَآءُ: (S, K:) and the pl. of this last is جُمَعُ, though by rule it should be formed by the addition of ا and ت to the sing., like as the pl. of أَجْمَعُ is formed by the addition of و and ن; (S;) the original form from which جُمَعُ is changed being جَمْعَاوَاتٌ; or it is جَمَاعَى; it is not جُمْعٌ, because أَجْمَعُ is not an epithet, like as أَحْمَرُ is, of which the pl. is حُمْرٌ; (L;) for it is determinate, though of the measure of an epithet, which is indeterminate; (AAF;) and though it is in concordance with the noun which precedes it, like an epithet, it is shown to be not an epithet by its not having a broken pl.: (L:) it is a simple corroborative; (S, K;) and so are أَجْمَعُونَ and جَمْعَآءُ and جُمَعُ; not used as an inchoative nor as an enunciative nor as the agent of a verb nor as the objective complement of a verb, like as are some other corroboratives, such as نَفْسُهُ and عَيْنُهُ and كُلُّهُ. (S.) You say, أَخَذْتُ حَقِّى أَجْمَعَ [I took my right, or due, all of it, or altogether]: and رأَيْتُ النِّسْوَةَ جُمَعَ [I saw the women, all of them, or all together]: the last word in this and similar cases being imperfectly declinable, and determinate word: (Sudot;, TA:) and جَاؤُوا أَجْمَعُونَ [They came, all of them, or all together]: and رَأَيْتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ [I saw them, all of them, or all together]: and مَرَرْتُ بِهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ [I passed by them, all of them, or all together]. (Msb.) Fr mentions the phrases, أَعْجَبَنِى القَصْرُ أَجْمَعَ [The palace pleased me, all of it, or altogether], and الدَّارُ جَمْعَآءَ [The house, all of it, or altogether], with the accus. case, as denotative of state; but does not allow أَجْمَعُونَ nor جُمَعُ to be used otherwise than as corroboratives: IDrst, however, allows أَجْمَعِينَ to be used as a denotative of state; and this is correct; and accord. to both these ways is related the trad., فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعِينَ and أَجْمَعُونَ [And pray ye sitting, all of you, or all together]; though some make اجمعين [here] to be a corroborative of a pronoun understood in the accus. case, as though the speaker said, أَعْنِيكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ [I mean you, all of you, or all together]: (K in art. بتع:) or اجمعين in this case is a corruption committed by the relaters in the first age; and he is in error who says that it is in the accus. case as a denotative of state, for corroboratives are determinate, and the denotative of state is literally or virtually indeterminate. (Msb.) [Respecting the usage of this corroborative together with others similar to it, see أَبْتَعُ.] You say also, جَاؤُوا بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ, and بِأَجْمُعِهِمْ, with damm to the م, [They came, all of them, or all together,] (S, Msb, K,) the latter mentioned by ISk. (Msb.) And you say, قَبَضْتُ المَالَ أَجْمَعَهُ [I took, or received, the property, all of it, or altogether]. (Msb.) And ↓ جَمِيعٌ, also, is used as a corroborative: (S, Msb:) as in the saying جَاؤُوا جَمِيعًا, meaning They came, all of them: (S:) and قَبَضْتُ المَالَ جَمِيعَهُ, like أَجْمَعَهُ [explained above]: (Msb:) and جَمِيعَةً occurs as its fem.; but this is extr. (TA.) مَجْمَعٌ and مَجْمِعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the latter anomalous, like مَشْرِقٌ and مَغْرِبٌ &c., (TA,) A place of collecting, and the like: (S, Msb, * K:) [pl. مَجَامِعُ] [Hence,] مَجْمَعُ البَحْرَيْنِ, in the Kur [xviii. 59], means The place where the two seas meet. (Bd.) And in like manner, where it is said in a trad., فضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ مَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ عُنُقِى

وَكَتِفِى, [in which مَا seems to have been dropped by the copyist between مجمع and بين,] the meaning is, [And he struck with his hand] the place where my neck and my shoulder-blade meet. (TA.) [Hence also the phrase مَجَامِعُ المَحَامِدِ, explained above: see جَامِعٌ, near the end of the paragraph. And مَجَامِعُ الأُمُورِ, meaning The concurrences of affairs, or of circumstances, or of events.]

المَسَامِعِ وَأَجْوَلُ فِى المَجَامِعِ [This language, or discourse, is more, or most, penetrating into the ears, and more, or most, circulating in the places of assembly].

(Ibn-' Abbád, K.) عَامٌ مُجْمِعٌ A year of dearth, drought, sterility, or unfruitfulness: (Ks, K:) because it is an occasion of people's collecting together in the place where herbage, or plenty, is found.

مَجْمُوعٌ Collected; brought, or gathered, together; gathered up; assembled; congregated; mustered; drawn together; [or contracted;] (S, K, TA;) [from several places, or] hence and thence, although not made as one thing. (S, Sgh, L, K.) It is said in the Kur [xi. 105], ذٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النَّاسِ That is a day for which mankind shall be collected. (TA.) b2: See also جَمْعٌ.
