فوز

1 فَازَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فَوْزٌ (S, A, O, Msb, K) and مَفَازٌ and مَفَازَةٌ, (TA,) He attained, acquired, gained, or won, good, or good fortune, (S, A, O, Msb, * K,) or his wish or desire, or what he desired or sought; (Bd in iii. 182, and TA;) he met with, or experienced, that for which one would be regarded with a wish to be in the like condition, without its being desired that it should pass away from him; he became far from what was disliked, or hated, or evil: (TA:) he succeeded, or was successful: he won, or gained the victory: (Msb:) [he had his arrow drawn, or] his arrow came forth [from the رِبَابَة], in the game called المَيْسِر: and (tropical:) it (an arrow) won; or came forth before its fellow [or fellows in that game]. (O, * TA.) Yousay, فَازَ بِهِ He attained it, acquired it, gained it, or won it; (Kh, A, O, Msb, K;) namely, good, or good fortune; (Kh, O;) or reward: (A:) and he took it away, went away with it. (S, K.) b2: He became safe, or secure; he escaped. (S, A, O, Msb, K.) You say, فَازَ مِنهُ He became safe, or secure, from it; he escaped it; (A, O, K;) namely, evil; (TA;) or punishment. (A, O, TA.) And طُوبَى لِمَنْ فَازَ بِالثَّوَابِ وَفَازَ مِنَ العِقَابِ A happy end is his who gains reward and escapes punishment. (A.) A2: And فَازَ, (S, O, K,) aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. فَوْزٌ, (S, A, K,) (tropical:) He perished: (S, A, K:) he died; and so ↓ فَوَّزٌ: (S, A, O, Msb, K:) thus the former bears two contr. significations: (A, K:) but IB says that, accord. to some, the latter is not used in this sense unless preceded by another phrase such as in the following ex.: فُلَانٌ بَعْدَهُ ↓ مَاتَ فُلَانٌ وَفَوَّزَ [Such a one died and such a one died after him]: and accord. to others, ↓ فوّز signifies (tropical:) he became in the مَفَازَة [or state of temporary safety] which is between the present life and that which is to come. (TA.) [This last signification is given in the A.] b2: See also 2.2 فوّز (assumed tropical:) He went, or his course brought him, to the مَفَازَة: (IAar, TA:) or (tropical:) he went upon the مفازة: (A, TA:) or (assumed tropical:) he went away. (IAar, O, K:) or (tropical:) he went away into the مفازة: (A:) and ↓ فَازَ signifies (assumed tropical:) he traversed the مفازة. (Msb.) You say, فوّز بِإِبِلِهِ (S, A, O, K) (tropical:) He entered upon the مفازة with his camels. (S, O, K.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) He went forth from one land or country to another: and ↓ تفوّز signifies the same as فوّز. (TA.) b3: See also 1, latter part, in three places.

A2: And, said of a road, It was, or became, apparent: (O, K:) and Sgh adds. [but not in the O,] and it stopped, or came to an end. (TA.) 4 افازهُ بِكَذَا He (God, S, O, K, or a man, Msb) caused him to attain, acquire, gain, or win, such a thing. (S, O, Msb, K.) 5 تَفَوَّزَ see 2.

فَازٌ: see what next follows.

فَازَةٌ A [tent such as is called] مِظَلَّة, (S, K.) with two poles, (K,) or that is extended with a pole: (S; in which is added, “it is in my opinion an Arabic word: ”) pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.]

↓ فَازٌ. (ISd, TA.) فَائِزَةٌ (tropical:) A thing that rejoices one, and by which one attains good or the object of his desire: you say, فَازَ بِفَائِزَةٍ (tropical:) He attained, acquired, gained, or won, a thing that rejoiced him, &c. (A, O, * TA.) مَفَازٌ: see the following paragraph, near the end.

مَفَازَةٌ A place of safety, security, or escape. (S, A, O, K.) So in the Kur [iii. 185], فَلَا تَحْسِبَنَّهُمْ بِمَفَازَةٍ مِنَ العَذَابِ [Do thou by no means reckon them to be in a place of security from punishment]: (S, A, * O:) or, accord. to Fr, the meaning here is, far from punishment. (TA.) b2: A cause, or means, of prosperity, or success, or of the attainment or acquisition of that which one desires or seeks, or of what is good, or of that whereby one becomes in a happy or good state; syn. مَفْلَحَةٌ. (A.) b3: (tropical:) [The state of temporary safety which is between the present life and that which is to come. See 1, last signification.]

A2: (tropical:) A place of perdition, or destruction: (Msb, K: *) or i. q. فَلَاةٌ: (A:) [i. e.] a desert; syn. بَرِّيَّةٌ; any [desert such as is called] قَفْرٌ: (TA:) or a desert in which is no water: (ISh, O, K:) and a desert in which is no water for the space of a journey of two nights or more: when there is none for the space of a journey of a night and a day, it is not thus called. (ISh, O, TA:) or a tract in which two wateringplaces are so far apart that camels are kept from drinking two days, with a portion of the day preceding them and of the day following them, [accord. to that which is generally preferred of the explanations of the term رِبْعٌ which is here employed,] and other animals [that journey quicker] drink on alternate days; as also فَلَاةٌ: or such as is between that in which camels are kept from drinking two days &c. as above, and that in which other animals drink on alternate days; as also فَيْفَاةٌ: (TA:) so called to prognosticate good fortune, and safety. (As, IF, S, A, O, Msb,) as meaning a place of safety, (A,) from فَازَ signifying “ he became safe: ” (Msb:) or from فَوَّزَ, (IAar, S, O, * Msb,) or فَازَ. (AHei, TA.) signifying “ he perished,” (IAar, S, O, * AHei,) or “ he died: ” (Msb, TA:) AHei condemns the former of these assertions; but Az and ISd say that it is the more commonly approved, though the latter is the more agreeable with analogy: (TA:) or it is so called because he who comes forth from it, having traversed it, is safe: (IAar, TA:) the pl. is مَفَاوِزُ: (S:) and ↓ مَفَازٌ signifies the same as مَفَازَةٌ. so in a trad. of Kaab Ibn-Málik; فَاسْتَقْبَلَ سَفَرًا بَعِيدًا وَمَفَازًا [and he saw before him, or looked forward to, a far journey and a desert, or a waterless desert, &c.]. (TA.)

(Msb.) b2: And [hence] one says, فُلِّسَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ [app. meaning He was pronounced destitute of all good, or of all property]. (TA.) A2: [فُلِّسَ It was marked with spots differing in colour from the rest, resembling فُلُوس, or small copper coins. (See مُفَلَّسٌ.)] تَفْلِيسُ اللَّوْنِ [used as a subst. properly so termed] signifies Spots in a colour, differing therefrom in colour, resembling فُلُوس. (M.) 4 افلس, [inf. n. إِفْلَاسٌ,] He became مُفْلِس [which in the common legal acceptation means bankrupt, or insolvent]: (S:) or he had no property remaining: (O, K:) as though his دَرَاهِم [or pieces of silver] had become فُلُوس [or small copper coins], (S, O, K,) and base money: like as أَخْبَثَ signifies “ his companions, or friends, became bad, wicked, or deceitful: ” (S, O:) or he became in such a state that it was said he had not a فَلْس [or small copper coin]; (S, O, K;) like as أَقْهَرَ signifies “ he became in a state in which to be overcome, or subdued: ” (S, O:) or as though he became in a state in which to be overcome, or subdued: (Msb:) or he became a possessor of فُلُوس after he had been a possessor of دَرَاهِم: (M, Msb:) but properly, [so in the Msb, but I would rather say secondarily, or tropically,] he became reduced from a state of ease, or competence, or richness, to a state of difficulty, or poverty.

The pl. فُلُوس is the common term for Money in Egypt and some other parts in the present day.] b2: [Hence, Anything resembling a small coin: as b3: A counter of metal: b4: and A scale of a fish: as Sgh says,] فُلُوسُ السَّمَكِ signifies what are on the back of the fish, resembling the [coins called] فُلُوس. (O.) b5: And The seal of the جِزْيَة [or tax paid by the free non-muslim subject of a Muslim government], (T, S, K,) which was hung upon the neck, (T, S, TA,) or upon the throat.

(TA.) You say, وَقَعَ فِى فَلَسٍ شَدِيدٍ [He fell into a severe state of indigence or destitution]. (TA.) And one says, فِى حُبِّهَا فَلَسٌ, meaning With her love, or the love of her, is no obtainment: and the phrase حُبُّهَا فَلَسٌ, occurring in a verse of El-Mo'attal El-Hudhalee, or of Aboo-Kilábeh, [in which the love thus described is afterwards termed ↓ حُبُّ مُفْلِسٌ, so that فَلَسٌ is here used for مُفْلِسٌ, or the phrase is elliptical,] Her love, or the love of her, is such that nothing is obtained from it. (O.) فَلَّاسٌ A seller of فُلُوس, pl. of فَلْسٌ. (M, O, K.) أُفَيْلِسٌ: see فَلْسٌ and مُفْلِسٌ.

(Msb.) فَرْشٌ [as an inf. n. of which the verb is فُرِشَت, as is shown by an explanation of إَقْعَادٌ in the S and L, and by the phrase مَفْرُوشَةُ الرِّجْلِ mentioned in the S and O and TA,] in the hind leg of a camel [and of a horse as is shown by the explanation above mentioned of اقعاد] signifies The being a little expanded; which is approved: (S, O, K:) when the width [between the shanks] is immoderate, so that the hock-joints knock together, which state is termed عَقَلٌ [inf. n. of عَقِلَ], it is disapproved: or, as some say, it signifies its not being erect nor much expanded.

(TA.) And in like manner the saying of 'Alee, فَرَشْتُكُمُ المَعْرُوفَ, is expl. by Ibn-Abi-l-Hadeed as signifying أَوْسَعْتُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ [meaning (tropical:) I largely conferred upon you favour, or kindness]: but MF deems this strange. (TA.) You say also, فَرَشْتُهُ أَمْرِى (tropical:) I displayed, or laid open, to him my state, or case, or affair; [and so أَمْرِى ↓ أَفْرَشْتُهُ; (see an ex. voce بَاطِنٌ;)] syn. بَسَطْتُهُ لَهُ.

which may mean, [And may] the descending of the rain called the ربيع [and continuous rain, or continuous and still rain, pouring forth, water thy districts, not injuring them]: or it may mean, [may] the rain of the season called the ربيع [&c.]: so says IHsh.

(A.) b3: [Hence, likening an event, &c., to an arrow,] one says also, اصابهُ أَمْرٌ, inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) [An event smote him, or befell him;] and ↓ صابهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. صَوْبٌ, signifies the same.

(M, K. *) and اصاب فِى قَوْلِهِ وَفِعْلِهِ (assumed tropical:) He hit the right thing in his saying and his deed; (Msb;) and so فِى رَأْيِهِ in his opinion; contr. of أَخْطَأَ.

(As, TA.) And أَيْنَ تُصِيبَانِ (assumed tropical:) [Whither do ye two desire to go?]; a saying of Ru-beh. (TA.) تَجْرِى بِأَمْرِهِ رُخَآءً حَيْثُ أَصَابَ, in the Kur [xxxviii. 35, referring to the wind], has been expl. as meaning (assumed tropical:) [Running by his command softly, or gently,] whithersoever He desireth. (M, * TA.) And اصاب اللّٰهُ الَّذِى أَرَادَ, said in a trad., in reply to a question respecting the interpretation of a text, means (assumed tropical:) God desireth, or meaneth, [thereby,] what He desireth, or meaneth.

(M, K. *) One says also, اصابهُ بِخَيْرٍ (assumed tropical:) [meaning He did good to him]. (El-Muärrij, TA in art. اسو.) [But] اصابهُ بِكَذَا, (M,) inf. n. إِصَابَةٌ, (K,) with which are syn. ↓ مُصَابٌ [in accordance with a usage generally allowable] (S, TA) and ↓ مُصَابَةٌ, (K, TA,) (assumed tropical:) [generally] means He afflicted him with, or by, such a thing; or gave pain to him thereby. (M, K: * in the latter, only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense; and so in other senses.) [Thus one says, اصابهُ بِشَرٍّ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with evil; or did evil to him: and اصابهُ بِمَكْرُوهٍ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with, or did to him, an abominable, or an evil, thing or action: and اصابهُ بِقَوْلٍ قَبِيحٍ (assumed tropical:) He afflicted him with, or said to him, a foul saying: and اصابهُ بِذَحْلٍ (assumed tropical:) He punished him by blood-revenge: and اصابهُ بِمَرَضٍ (assumed tropical:) He, (i. e. God,) or it, (a thing,) affected him with disease; or rendered him diseased: and in many similar cases, the phrase may be well rendered with a verb derived from the noun; like phrases in which “ affecit ” (a Latin equivalent of اصاب) occurs; as in “ honore affecit,” meaning “ honoravit. ”] El-Hárith Ibn-Khuld El-Makhzoomee says, رَجُلًا↓أَظُلَيْمُ إِنَّ مُصَابَكُمْ

أَهْدَى السَّلَامَ تَحِيَّةً ظُلْمُ (assumed tropical:) [O Dhuleymeh, verily your afflicting a man who has given the salutation of peace, greeting, is tyranny]: IB says that this verse is not of El-'Arjee, as El-Hareeree imagined it to be: the correct reading is أَظُلَيْمُ, as above: ظليم is an apocopated from of ظُلَيْمَةُ; which is the dim. of ظَلُوم: some read أَظَلُومُ: and some, أَسُلَيْمُ: [the verse is cited accord. to this last reading in the S:] رَجُلًا is governed in the accus. case by مُصَاب [as an inf. n.]: and ظُلْمُ is the enunciative of إِنَّ. (L, TA.) أَصَابَهُمُ الدَّهْرُ بِنُفُوسِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ (assumed tropical:) meansTime, or fate, afflicted them by destruction, or extirpation, among themselves and their cattle, or possessions. (M.) [In the K, الإِصَابةُ is expl. as signifying الاِحْتِيَاجُ: but the right reading is evidently الاِجْتِيَاحُ, as Ibr D has remarked in the margin of my copy of the TA; so that اصاب signifies (assumed tropical:) He destroyed, or extirpated; agreeably with an explanation in the sentence next preceding above, from the M.] مَنْ يُرِدِ اللّٰهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُصِبْ مِنْهُ, (assumed tropical:) occurring in a trad., means Him whom God intendeth good He trieth with afflictions, that He may recompense him for them. (TA.) And one says, مَا كُنْتُ مُصَابًا وَلَقَدْ أُصِبْتُ (assumed tropical:) [app. meaning I was not affected with weakness of intellect, or madness, and I have become affected therewith: see مُصَابٌ, below]. (IAar, TA.) 5 تصوّب [quasi-pass. of 2]: see 1, in three places. b2: Also It was, or became, lowered, or depressed; syn. تَسَفَّلَ. (A.) 6 تصاوب, accord. to Freytag, signifies He, or it, was well directed: but for this he names no authority.]7 إِنْصَوَبَ see 1, first sentence.10 اِسْتَصْوَبَهُ and اِسْتَصَابَهُ signify the same, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) (tropical:) He saw it, considered it, or held it, to be right; (M, Msb, TA;) namely, his deed, (S, Msb,) or his opinion, (M, TA,) or his saying: (A:) Th says, اِسْتَصَبْتُهُ is the regular form; but the Arabs say, اِسْتَصْوَبْتُ رَأْيَكَ. (M, TA. [See also 4, latter half.]) صَابٌ A certain species of tree, from which, when it is pressed, there issues what resembles milk, a drop of which sometimes spirts into the eye, producing an effect like that of a flame of fire, and in some instances weakening the sight: (M, TA:) or a certain kind of bitter tree; (As, T, M, K, TA;) one of which is termed ↓ صَابَةٌ: (M, K: * [in the latter it is said that صَابٌ is the pl. of صَابَةٌ; but properly speaking, the former is a coll. gen. n., and the latter is its n. un.:]) or the expressed juice of a kind of bitter tree: (S:) but accord. to the K, this is a mistake, though it is the saying of leading lexicologists: (TA:) or, as some say, the expressed juice of the صَبِر [or aloes]. (M.) صَوْبٌ an inf. n. used as a subst. (Msb) meaning Rain; (Lth, Msb;) and so ↓ صَيِّبٌ, which is originally [صَيْوِبٌ, i. e.] of the measure فَيْعِلٌ from الصَّوْبُ: (Bd in ii. 18:) or صَيِّبٌ is an epithet applied to clouds (غَيْمٌ, Sh, O, or سَحَابٌ, S, Msb) meaning having rain, (O,) i. q. ذُو صَوْبٍ: (S, Msb:) or صَوْبٌ and ↓ صَيِّبٌ and ↓ صَيُّوبٌ [the last of which is written in the CK صَيُوبٌ] all signify the same, (M, K,) as epithets applied to rain, meaning pouring forth: (M:) or ↓ صَيُّوبٌ, which is originally of the measure فَيْعُولٌ, [being altered from صَيْوُوبٌ,] means rain pouring forth much, or abundantly: (IDrd, O:) [↓ صَائِبٌ, also, is applied as an epithet to rain, like صَوْبٌ and صَيِّبٌ; and] in the phrase صِيبَانُ المَطَرِ, accord. to Abu-l-'Alà, صِيبَان is pl. of صَائِب; or it may be an inf. n., like حِرْمَان: and if one say ↓ صَيْبَان, with fet-h, the meaning is, what has poured forth of rain, notwithstanding the ى in it, for similar to this are رَيْحَان from الرَّوْح and عَيْدَان (meaning “ tall ” palm-trees) from العُوْد. (Ham p. 796.) A2: Also Course, or tendency; syn. قَصْدٌ: so in the saying, to one who is traversing a desert in uncertainty and has declined from the right way, أَقِمْ صَوْبَكَ [Rectify thy course]: and in the phrase فُلَانٌ مُسْتَقِيمُ الصَّوْبِ [Such a one is pursuing the right course], said of a person when he is not declining from his way to the right or left.

مُصِيبَةٌ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) said by Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà to be originally مُصْوِبَةٌ, (TA,) and ↓ مَصُوبَةٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ مُصَابَةٌ (M, K) and ↓ مُصَابٌ (A, Msb) and ↓ صَابَةٌ, (M, K,) signify the same, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) An affliction, a calamity, a misfortune, a disaster, or an evil accident: (M, Msb, TA:) it is said in the Towsheeh that the primary signification of مُصِيبَةٌ is a shot with an arrow: (TA:) the pl. is مَصَائِبُ, (S, M, A, Msb,) the form commonly obtaining, (Msb,) but irregular, (M,) the Arabs agreeing in pronouncing it with ء, as though they likened the radical letter to the augmentative, (S,) or they imagined what is of the measure مُفْعِلَةٌ to be of the measure فَعِيلَةٌ without a radical ى or و, (M,) and it is thought by As to be of the speech of the people of the cities, (Msb,) and مَصَاوِبُ, (M,) which is the original form, (S,) or is said to be so, (Msb,) and is said by Zj to be the form preferred by the grammarians, (TA,) and مُصِيبَاتٌ. (As, A, Msb.) قَطٌّ مُصَوَّبٌ A nibbing in which the exterior of the writing-reed is made to extend beyond the pith: opposed to قَائِمٌ. (TA in art. حرف.)

(S [in which the meaning is indicated by the context; but whether it be proper or tropical in this instance is not shown].) and Ru-beh says, الرَّوَاحِلَا ↓ مِثْلُ الأَجِيرِ اسْتَذْنَبَ [Like the hired man,] he was at the tails of the ridden camels. (T, S.) ذَنَبَتِ القَوْمُ, and [ذَنَبَتِ]

(A.) b2: ذنّب الأَفْعَى, said of a ضَبّ, It turned its tail towards the viper, or met the viper tail-foremost, in coming forth from its hole; contr. of رَأَّسَ الأَفْعَى.

(here explained by MF as a skin containing yellow water]) was near to coming forth, (AO, T, K,) and the root of her tail rose, and the part thereof that is bare of hair, and she did not [or could not] lower it. (AO, T.) In this case, she is said to be ↓ مُذَانِبٌ, (AO, T, K.) 4 اذنب He committed a sin, crime, fault, misdemeanour, &c.; (S, * M, * A, * MA, K; *) he became chargeable with a ذَنْب [or sin, &c.]: (Msb:) it is an instance, among others, of a verb of which no proper inf. n. has been heard; [ذَنْبٌ being used instead of such, as a quasi-inf. n.;] for إِذْنَابٌ, like إِكْرَامٌ, [though mentioned in the KL, as signifying the committing of a sin or the like, and also in the TK,] has not been heard. (MF.) 5 تذنّب عَلَى فُلَانٍ He accused such a one of a sin, crime, fault, misdemeanour, or the like, which he had not committed, or though he had not committed any. (A, TA.) A2: See also 2, near the end of the paragraph. b2: تَذَنَّبْتُ الوَادِىَ (tropical:) I came to the valley from the direction of its ذَنَب [q. v.]. (A.) And تذنّب الطَّرِيقَ (tropical:) He took the road; (K, TA;) as though he took its ذِنَابَة, or came to it from [the direction of] its ذَنَب.

The tail; syn. ذَيْلٌ: (TA: [in the CK, الذِّنْبِىُّ is erroneously put for الذِّنْبِىَّ:]) but accord. to Fr, one uses the first of these words in relation to the horse, and the second in relation to the bird: (T:) or the first is used in relation to the horse (S, A) and the ass [and the like] (S) more commonly than the second; (S, A; *) and the second is used in relation to a bird (S, M, A, Msb) more commonly than the first, (S, M, *) or more chastely: (M, * Msb:) or the second is [properly] of a winged creature; and the first is of any other; but the second is sometimes, metaphorically, of the horse: (Er-Riyáshee, TA:) or, as some say, the second signifies the place of growth of the ذَنَب [or tail]: (M:) the pl. of ذَنَبٌ is أَذْنَابٌ. (S, M, A, Msb, K.) [Hence the following phrases &c.] b2: رَكِبَ ذَنَبَ البَعِيرِ [lit. He rode on the tail of the camel, meaning] (tropical:) he was content with a deficient lot. (T, A, K.) b3: ضَرَبَ بِذَنِبِهِ [lit. He smote the earth with his tail, الأَرْضَ being understood, meaning] (assumed tropical:) he (a man) stayed, or abode, and remained fixed. (K.)

The fifty have turned their tail to me]. (M, TA.) b8: اِتَّبَعَ ذَنَبَ

أَمْرٍ مُدْبِرٍ [lit. He followed the tail of an event retreating,] means (tropical:) he regretted an event that had passed.

(M, K.) You say, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى ذَنَبِ الدَّهْرِ (assumed tropical:) That was in the end of the time [past]. (M.) And ذَنَبُ الوَادِى and ↓ الذُنَابَةُ: both signify the same [i. e.

قُضُب], TA,) and leaves, growing in every place except in unmixed sand, [for حُرَّ الرَّمْلِ in the TA, I find in the M حَوَّ الرُملِ,] and growing upon one stem and two stems: (M, TA:) or, accord. to AHn, a certain herb, having a جزرة [app. meaning rhizoma like the carrot], which is not eaten, and twigs bearing a fruit from the bottom thereof to the top thereof, having leaves like those of the طُرْخُون, agreeing well with the pasturing cattle, and having a small dust-coloured blossom upon which bees feed; (M, TA;) rising about the height of a man, (TA,) or half the height of a man; (M;) two whereof suffice to satiate a camel: (M, TA:) [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. with ة. (M, K.) ذُنُبَّى and ذِنِبَّى: see ذَنَبٌ, first sentence.

ذُنَابٌ: see ذَنَبٌ, in two places.

(of pauc., S) أَذْنِبَةٌ and (of mult., S) ذَنَائِبُ (S, M, K) and ذِنَابٌ. (M, A, * Msb, K.) Fr. cites as an ex., لَنَا ذَنُوبٌ وَلَكُمْ ذَنُوبُ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ فَلَنَا القَلِيبُ [as meaning For you shall be a great bucket, and for us a great bucket: or, if ye refuse this, for us shall be the well]. (T.) [Accord. to the K, it also signifies A grave: but this is evidently a mistake, which seems to have arisen from a misunderstanding of a statement by ISd, who says,] Aboo-Dhu-eyb uses it metaphorically in relation to a grave, calling it [i. e. the grave] a well, in his saying, فَكُنْتُ ذَنُوبَ البِئْرَ لَمَّا تَبَسَّلَتْ وَسُرْبِلْتُ أَكْفَانِى وَوُسِّدْتُ سَاعِدِى

[app. meaning (tropical:) And I was as though I were the corpse of the grave (lit. the bucket of the well) when she frowned, and clad with my grave-clothes, and made to recline upon my upper arm: for the corpse is laid in the grave upon its right side, or so inclined that the face is turned towards Mekkeh]. (M.)
