شمل

1 شَمِلَهُمُ الأَمْرُ, aor. ـَ and شَمَلَهُم, aor. ـُ (S, Msb, K;) but the latter verb was unknown to As, (S, TA,) and is said by Lh to be rare; (TA;) inf. n. شَمَلٌ, (Msb, K,) which is of the former, (Msb,) and شُمُولٌ, (Msb, K,) and شَمْلٌ; (K;) i. q. عَمَّهُمْ [i. e. The event, or case, included them in common, in general, or universally, within the compass of its effect or effects, its operation or operations, its influence, or the like]: (S, Msb, K:) or شَمِلَهُمْ خَيْرًا or شَرًّا, or خَيْرًا and شَرًّا, (accord. to different copies of the K,) like فَرِحَ, (in the CK, or like فَرِحَ,) [app. means he, or it, caused that] good or evil, or good and evil, betided them [in common, in general, or universally]: and شَرًّا ↓ أَشْمَلَهُمْ [means] عَمَّهُمْ بِهِ [i. e. he, or it, included them in common, in general, or universally, with, or by, evil]: (K:) but one should not say, اشملهم خَيْرًا. (TA.) [Whether what precedes, or what next follows, should be regarded as giving the primary signification of شَمِلَ, is uncertain.] b2: شَمِلَهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. شَمْلٌ and شُمُولٌ, He covered [or enveloped] him with the شَمْلَة, (K, TA,) or, with the مِشْمَلَة: such is thought by ISd to be meant by the explanation given by Lh, which is, غَطَّى عَلَيْهِ المِشْمَلَةَ. (TA.) b3: هٰذِهِ شَمْلَةٌ تَشْمَلُكَ means تَسَعُكَ [i. e. This is a شملة sufficient in its dimensions, or sufficiently large, for thee]. (TA.) You say, اِشْتَرَيْتُ شَمْلَةً ثَشْمَلُنِى [I bought a شملة sufficient in its dimensions, &c., for me]. (ISk, S, O.) b4: شَمِلَتْ لِقَاحًا, aor. ـَ (S, O, K,) inf. n. شَمَلٌ, (S, O,) said of a she-camel, (S, O, K,) She admitted impregnating seed, (K,) or she conceived, مِنْ فَحْلِ فُلَانٍ, [from the stallion of such a one]. (S, O.) b5: شَمِلَتْ إِبِلُكُمْ بَعِيرًا لَنَا Your camels concealed among them a he-camel belonging to us, by his entering amid their dense multitude: (K, TA:) so in the M and the Moheet. (TA.) A2: شَمَلَ الشَّاةَ, aor. ـُ (S, K) and شَمِلَ, (K,) inf. n. شَمْلٌ, (S,) He suspended upon the ewe, or she-goat, the kind of bag called شِمَال, and bound it upon her udder: (S, * K, TA:) and some say, شَمَلَ النَّاقَةَ, he suspended a شِمَال upon the she-camel. (T, TA.) Also, and ↓ اشملها, He put to the ewe, or she-goat, (K, TA,) or he made for her, (TA,) a شِمَال. (K, TA.) A3: شَمَلَ بِهِ, (K, TA,) inf. n. شَمْلٌ, (TA,) He took [in it, i. e. in travelling it, (see the pass. part. n.,)] the direction of the left hand; syn. أَخَذَ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ: (K, TA:) so expl. by IAar. (TA.) b2: شَمَلَتِ الرِّيحُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. شُمُولٌ (S, O, TA) and شَمَالٌ, (O,) or شَمْلٌ, (TA,) The wind shifted to a northerly direction (شَمَالًا); (S, TA;) so expl. by Lh: (TA:) or the wind blew northerly; syn. هَبَّتْ شَمَالًا; as also ↓ أَشْمَلَت. (O. [In the TA, I find أَشْمَلَت الريح ذهبت شماليل مثل شَمَّلت: but this, I doubt not, is a mistranscription of the passage in the O, which I have here followed; i. e. أَشْمَلَتِ الرِيحُ هَبَّت شَمالًا مِثل شَمَلَت; or of a similar passage in which إِذَا هَبَّتْ is put instead of هَبَّتْ alone.]) One says of two persons when they are separated, شَمَلَتْ رِيحُهُمَا (assumed tropical:) [Their wind has become north, or northerly]. (TA voce جَنُوبٌ, q. v. [See also مَشْمُولٌ.]) b3: شَمَلَ الخَمْرَ, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. شَمْلٌ, (TA,) He exposed the wine to the شَمَال [i. e. north, or northerly, wind], so that it became cold, or cool. (K.) b4: And شُمِلُوا, (S, and in like manner in the Ham p. 595,) or شَمِلُوا, [expressly said to be] like فَرِحُوا, (K, [but this I think to be a mistake, the weight of authority, and the form of the part. n., which is مَشْمُولٌ, being against it,]) They were smitten, or blown upon, by the wind called the شَمَال. (S, K.) A4: شَمَلَ النَّخْلَةَ, (K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. شَمْلٌ, (TA,) He picked the ripe dates that were upon the palm-tree; as also ↓ اشملها, and ↓ شَمْلَلَهَا: (K:) or this last (which is mentioned on the authority of Seer), accord. to some, signifies he took of the شَمَالِيل of the palmtree; i. e., of the few dates remaining upon it. (TA.) 2 تَشْمِيلٌ [properly inf. n. of شَمَّلَ]: see 5, of which it is an anomalous inf. n. (TA.) b2: and for its proper verb see 7.

A2: Also The taking by the شِمَال [or left hand]. (TA.) A3: And شمّل النَّخْلَةَ He bound pieces of [the garments called]

أَكْسِيَة [pl. of كِسَآءٌ] beneath the racemes of the palm-tree, because of its shaking off its fruit. (TA.) 4 أَشْمَلَهُمٌ شَرًّا: see 1, first sentence. b2: اشمل الفَحْلُ شَوْلَهُ, (Az, S, O,) inf. n. إِشْمَالٌ; (S;) or اشمل شَوْلَهُ لِقَاحًا; (K;) The stallion-camel got with young from half to two thirds of the number of his شَوْل [or she-camels that had passed seven or eight months since the period of their bringing forth]: (Az, S, O, K:) when he has got them all with young, one says, أَقَمَّهَا; (Az, S, O, TA;) and of the شول one says, قَمَّتْ, inf. n. قُمُومٌ. (TA.) b3: اشمل فُلَانٌ خَرَائِفَهُ Such a one picked the ripe dates that were upon his خرائف [or palm-trees of which he gathered the fruit for himself and his household], except a few. (S, O.) b4: See also 1, last sentence.

A2: اشملهُ He gave him a شَمْلَة [q. v.]. (K, TA.) b2: اشمل الشَّاةَ: see 1.

A3: اشمل He became possessor of a مِشْمَلَة, (Lh, TA,) or, of a مِشْمَل. (K.) A4: اشملوا They entered upon [a time in which blew] the [north, or northerly,] wind termed الشَّمَال: (S, O, K:) like as they say, اجنبوا in the case of the جَنُوب. (TA.) b2: أَشْمَلَتِ الرِّيحُ: see 1, latter half. b3: See also 7.5 تشمّل بِالشَّمْلَةِ, [and تشمّل الشَّمْلَةَ, (see 5 in art. درس,)] inf. n. تَشَمُّلٌ and ↓ تَشْمِيلٌ; (K;) the former reg.; the latter, which is mentioned by Lh, irreg., an instance like that in the saying [in the Kur lxxiii. 8], وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا; (TA;) He covered himself with the شَمْلَة [q. v.]. (K.) [See also 8.]7 انشمل i. q. شَمَّرَ, (K, TA,) or اِنْشَمَرَ, (O, TA,) [both of which signify He passed along striving, or exerting himself; and the latter signifies also he acted with a penetrative force or energy; and he hastened, or went quickly;] فِى حَاجَتِهِ [in his needful affair]. (O, TA.) And i. q. أَسْرَعَ [He hastened; went quickly; or was quick, swift, or fleet]: (K:) or so ↓ أَشْمَلَ: (thus in the O, as on the authority of IDrd:) or so ↓ اشتمل, inf. n. اشتمال: (thus accord. to my copy of the Msb:) and likewise (O, K) ↓ شَمْلَلَ, (S, O, K,) inf. n. شَمْلَلَةٌ: (S:) and so ↓ شمّل, (K,) inf. n. تَشْمِيلٌ. (TA.) And i. q. اِنْشَمَرَ (O, TA) and اِنْضَمَّ, (TA,) [both meaning It became contracted,] as used by a poet in relation to a she-camel's udder. (O, TA.) 8 اشتمل بِثَوْبِهِ He wrapped, or inwrapped, himself with his garment; syn. تَلَفَّفَ: (S, O:) or اشتمل بِالثَّوْبِ signifies he wrapped the garment around the whole of his body so that his arm, or hand, did not come forth from it: (K:) or, as some say, he wrapped himself with the garment, and threw [a part of] it upon his left side. (TA.) [See also 5.] اِشْتِمَالُ الصَّمَّآءِ, which is forbidden by the Prophet, is, accord. to As, The wrapping oneself with the garment so as to cover with it his body, not raising a side thereof in such a manner that there is in it an opening from which he may put forth his hand, or arm: (O:) this is also termed التَّلَفُّعُ: and sometimes one reclines in the state thus described: (TA:) but A 'Obeyd says, accord. to the explanation of the lawyers, it is the wrapping oneself with one garment, not having upon him another, then raising it on one side and putting it upon his shoulders: [so says Sgh; and he adds,] he who explains it thus has regard to the dislike of one's uncovering himself and exposing to view the pudenda; and he who explains it as do the lexicologists dislikes one's covering his whole body for fear of his becoming in a state in which his respiration would become obstructed so that he would perish: (O:) or it is one's covering his whole body with the كِسَآء or with the إِزَار; (S, Msb;) to which some add, not raising aught of the sides thereof. (Msb.) [See also art. صم.] One says also, يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى السَّيفِ [He wraps his garment over the sword; or] he covers the sword with his garment. (S, O.) b2: [Hence, اشتمل عَلَى كَذَا It comprehended, or comprised, such a thing.] One says, الرَّحِمُ تَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى الوَلَدِ (assumed tropical:) The womb comprises [or encloses] the young. (TA.) [And in like manner one says of a woman, اشتملت مِنْهُ عَلَى وَلَدٍ (assumed tropical:) She became with child by him. And الكِتَابُ يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى كَذَا وَكَذَا (assumed tropical:) The book, or writing, comprises such and such things. And hence the phrase in grammar, بَدَلُ اشْتِمَالٍ (assumed tropical:) A substitute for an antecedent to indicate an implication therein.] b3: One says also, اشتمل عَلَيْهِ الأَمْرُ, meaning (tropical:) The event [such as a misfortune or an evil of any kind beset him, or beset him on every side, or] encompassed him; (K, TA;) like as the كِسَآء encompasses the body. (TA.) b4: One says of wine, تَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى العَقْلِ فَتَمْلِكُهُ وَتَذْهَبُ بِهِ (assumed tropical:) [It compasses the intellect, and so takes possession of it, and makes away with it]: (Ham p. 555:) or تَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى عَقْلِ الإِنْسَانِ فَتُغَيِّبُهُ (assumed tropical:) [It compasses the intellect of the man, and conceals it]; and thus one says of the present world or its enjoyments (الدُّنْيَا). (TA.) [اشتمل عَلَى شَىْءٍ often means (assumed tropical:) He took, or got, possession of a thing; got it, or held it, within his grasp, or in his possession.] b5: [Hence,] one says, اشتمل عَلَى نَاقَةٍ فَذَهَبَ بِهَا (assumed tropical:) He mounted a she-camel and went away with her. (Az, O.) b6: And اشتمل عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He shrouded, covered, or protected, him with himself, or his own person. (TA.) b7: See also 7 R. Q. 1 شَمْلَلَ: see 1, last sentence: A2: and see also 7.

شَمْلٌ A state of union or composedness: and a state of disunion or discomposedness: thus having two contr. significations: (MF, TA:) or a united, or composed, state of the affairs, (S, Msb, TA,) and of the number, (TA,) of a people, or company of men: (S, Msb, TA:) and a disunited, or discomposed, state of the affairs [&c.] thereof. (S, Mgh, Msb.) In imprecating evil upon enemies, (O, TA,) [or upon an enemy,] one says, شَتَّتَ اللّٰهُ شَمْلَهُمْ, (O, TA,) or فَرَّقَ اللّٰهُ شَمْلَهُمْ, (Msb,) or فرّق اللّٰه شَمْلَهُ, (S,) i. e. [May God dissolve, break up, discompose, derange, disorganize, disorder, or unsettle,] their, (Msb,) or his, (S,) united, or composed, state of affairs; (S, Msb;) and شَتَّ شَمْلُهُمْ i. e. [May their united, or composed, state of affairs &c.] become dissolved, broken up, discomposed, &c.: (O, TA:) and [in the contr. case] one says, جَمَعَ اللّٰهُ شَمْلَهُمْ, (S, O, Msb, TA,) or شَمْلَهُ, (Mgh,) i. e. [May God unite, or compose,] their, (S, Msb,) or his, (Mgh,) disunited, or discomposed, state of affairs [&c.]. (S, Mgh, Msb.) And ↓ شَمَلٌ signifies the same: El-Ba'eeth says, قَدْ يَنْعَشُ اللّٰهُ الفَتَى بَعْدَ عَثْرَةٍ

وَقَدْ يَجْمَعُ اللّٰهُ الشَّتِيتَ مِنَ الشَّمَلْ [Sometimes, or often, God raises the young man after a stumble: and sometimes, or often, God unites, or composes, what is dissolved, or broken up, of the state of affairs previously united, or composed]: (S, O:) Az cites this ex. in his “ Nawádir: ” (S:) but Aboo-'Omar El-Jarmee says that he had not heard the word thus except in this verse: (S, O:) Ibn-Buzurj, however, cites another verse as presenting an ex. of the same. (TA.) b2: دَخَلَ فِى شَمْلِهَا and ↓ شَمَلِهَا, said of a he-camel that has become concealed among a herd of [she-] camels, means He entered amid their dense multitude: (K, TA:) so in the M and the Moheet. (TA.) A2: Also, (AHn, O, K,) and so ↓ شِمْلٌ, and ↓ شِمِلٌّ, (K,) A raceme of a palm-tree: (AHn, O, K:) Et-Tirimmáh likens thereto a camel's tail: (TA:) or such as has little fruit: (K:) or of which some of the fruit has been plucked: but AO used to say that it is the produce [or spadix] of the male palm-tree, while not abundant and large. (TA.) A3: See also شَمَالٌ.

A4: And شَمْلٌ مِنْ جُنُونٍ signifies Fear, or fright, like insanity: and so ↓ شَمَلٌ [used alone, and thus written]. (TA.) شِمْلٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, near the end.

شَمَلٌ: see شَمْلٌ, in two places.

A2: Also i. q. كَنَفٌ [as meaning Quarter, or shelter or protection]: الكَتِفُ in the copies of the K being a mistake for الكَنَفُ: one says, نَحْنُ فِى شَمَلِكُمْ i. e. فِى كَنَفِكُمْ [We are in your quarter, &c.]. (TA.) A3: And A small quantity (S, K) of dates upon a palm-tree (S) or of ripe dates: (K:) and of rain: (S, K:) and a small number (S, K) of men and of camels (S) or of men &c.: pl. أَشْمَالٌ: and in like manner ↓ شُمْلُولٌ [app. in all of these applications]; (K;) [or] as meaning a light quantity of fruit of the palm-tree; (TA;) and the pl. of the latter is شَمَالِيلُ: (K:) one says, مَا عَلَى النَّخْلَةِ إِلَّا شَمَلٌ and ↓ شَمَلَةٌ and ↓ شَمَالِيلُ There is not upon the palm-tree save a small quantity remaining of its fruit: (S, TA:) or ↓ مَابَقِىَ فِى النَّخْلَةِ إِلَّا شَمَلَةٌ and ↓ شَمَالِيلُ There remained not upon the palm-tree save somewhat in a sparse state [of its fruit]: (TA:) and أَصَابَنَا شَمَلٌ مِنْ مَطَرٍ A small quantity of rain fell upon us: and رَأَيْتُ شَمَلًا مِنَ النَّاسِ وَالإِبِلِ I saw a small number of men and of camels. (S.) A4: See also شَمَالٌ, in two places: A5: And see شَمْلٌ, last sentence.

شَمِلٌ Wrapping, or inwrapping, himself (↓ مُشْتَمِلٌ) with a شَمْلَة [q. v.]. (TA.) A2: and Thin; syn. رَقِيقٌ: thus expl. by Sh, as applied in this sense by Ibn-Mukbil to a she-camel's tail, which he terms لِيف. (TA.) شَمْلَةٌ A [garment of the kind called] كِسَآء, with which one wraps, or inwraps, himself (يُشْتَمَلُ بِهِ), (S, Mgh, K,) smaller than the قَطِيفَة; as also ↓ مِشْمَلٌ (K) and ↓ مِشْمَلَةٌ; (S, K;) the last two expl. by Lth as a كِسَآء having a sparse villous substance, with which one wraps himself, smaller than the قَطِيفَة: (TA:) or the first signifies a small كِسَآء which one wears in the manner of the إِزَار [or waist-wrapper]: (Msb:) or with the Arabs it is a مِئْزَر [or waist-wrapper] of wool or of [goats'] hair, which one wraps round him: and ↓ مِشْمَلَةٌ, such as is made of two pieces sewed together, with which a man wraps himself when he sleeps by night: (Az, TA:) and this last, accord. to Meyd, signifies a كِسَآء comprising the steel with which one strikes fire, with the apparatus of this latter: (Har p. 628:) the pl. of the first is شِمَالٌ (Msb, TA) and شَمَلَاتٌ. (Msb.) [See also مِشْمَالٌ.] b2: [Hence the saying,] ضَمَّ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلُ شَمْلَتَهُ (tropical:) [The night contracted upon him its covering of darkness]. (TA.) b3: and أُمُّ شَمْلَةَ (tropical:) The present world, or its enjoyments; syn. الدُّنْيَا: (IAar, K, TA:) so called because compassing the intellect of a man (تَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى

عَقْلِهِ), and concealing it. (TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) Wine: (AA, K, TA:) so called for the same reason. (TA.) b5: And The sun. (Z, TA; and T in art. ام).

شِمْلَةٌ A mode, or manner, of اِشْتِمَال [or wrapping oneself with a garment as expl. above: see 8]. (K, TA.) الشِمْلَةُ الصَّمَّآءُ is That [mode of wrapping oneself] which is without a shirt and without drawers beneath; in the case of which, prayer is disliked. (TA. [See 8, and see also art. صم.]) شَمَلَةٌ: see شَمَلٌ, in two places.

شَمَلٌّ: see شَمَالٌ.

شِمِلٌّ: see شَمْلٌ, near the end of the paragraph.

A2: Also, (TA,) and شِمِلَّةٌ; (S, O, K, TA;) the former applied to a he-camel; (TA;) and the latter to a she-camel, as also ↓ شِمْلَالٌ and ↓ شِمْلِيلٌ, (S, O, Msb, K, TA,) which are likewise applied to a he-camel, (TA,) and ↓ شِمَالٌ; (K;) Light, active, or agile; (S, O, Msb, K;) or swift. (Msb, K, TA.) Hence the phrase ↓ طَأْطَأْتُ شِمْلَالِى [I hastened my light one, or my swift one]: or, accord. to AA, he means his hand, or arm, called the شِمَال; [i. e. I lowered my left hand or arm;] شِمْلَالٌ and شِمَالٌ meaning the same. (S, O.) شَمَالٌ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) the most common form of the word, (Msb,) and ↓ شِمَالٌ, [a form which I think objectionable as likely to cause confusion, though it is probably the original form,] (K,) and ↓ شَمْأَلٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) and ↓ شَمْأَلٌّ, (S, O, K, [in one place in the O erroneously written شَأمَلّ,]) and ↓ شَأْمَلٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which last is formed by transposition, (S, O, Msb,) and ↓ شَامَلٌ, without ء, (MF, TA,) and ↓ شَوْمَلٌ, and ↓ شَيْمَلٌ and ↓ شَمُولٌ, (O, K,) and ↓ شَمِيلٌ, (K,) and ↓ شَمَلٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) and ↓ شَمْلٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the last said by ISd not to have been heard except in the poetry of El-Ba'eeth, (TA,) and ↓ شَمَلٌّ, (MF, TA,) [every one of these] used as a subst. and as an epithet, (K,) [so that one says رِيحُ الشَّمَالِ &c. as well as رِيحٌ شَمَالٌ &c. and شَمَالٌ &c. alone; The north wind: or a northerly wind:] the wind that is the opposite to the جَنُوب: (Msb:) the wind that blows from the direction of the قُطْب [or pole-star]: (S:) or the wind that blows from the direction of the حِجْر [which is on what is called the north, but what is rather to be called the north-west, side of the Kaabeh]: (M, K:) or the wind that blows from the direction of the right hand of a person facing the Kibleh [by which is meant the angle of the Black Stone; i. e., correctly speaking, from the north]: (Th, M, K:) or, correctly, the wind that blows from between the place of sunrise and the constellation of the Bear (بَنَات نَعْش): or from between the place of sunrise and the place of setting of the constellation of the Eagle (النَّسْر الطَّائِر): (IAar, K:) [i. e. the wind that blows from some point of the north-east quarter, or nearly so: but it was probably thus named as being the wind that blows from the direction of the شِمَال (or left side) of a person facing the rising sun; and therefore the north wind or a northerly wind:] it seldom, or never, blows in the night: (K:) when it blows for seven days upon the people of Egypt, they prepare the graveclothes, for its nature is deadly: it is cold and dry: (TA:) [see also نَكْبَآءُ:] the pl. of شَمَالٌ is شَمَالَاتٌ (S, O, K) and شَمَائِلُ, which is anomalous, as though pl. of شَمَالَةٌ: (S, O:) الأَشَامِل also occurs, coupled with الأَجَانِب, in a verse of Et-Tirimmáh; and [as أَجَانِبُ is a reg. pl. of أَجْنُبٌ, which is a pl. of جَنُوبٌ,] ISd thinks that they formed from شَمْلٌ the pl. أَشْمَلٌ; and then from this last, the pl. أَشَامِلُ. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] one says, ↓ أَصَبْتُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ شَمَلًا i. e. رِيحًا [(assumed tropical:) I perceived from such a one an odour, app. meaning a foul odour]. (TA.) شِمَالٌ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) applied to one of the hands or arms, (S, Msb,) The left; contr. of يَمِينٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ شِيمَالٌ, (K, TA, [in the CK, الشَّمال and الشّمال are erroneously put for الشِّمَال and الشِّيمَال,]) the latter thought by ISd to be used only by poetic license, for شِمَالٌ, (TA,) and ↓ شِمْلَالٌ, (AA, S, O, K,) this last not known to Ks nor to As: (TA:) of the fem. gender: (S, O, Msb:) pl. [of pauc.] أَشْمُلٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) because it is fem., (S, O,) and [of mult.] شَمَائِلُ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which is anomalous, (S, O,) and شُمُلٌ, and شِمَالٌ like the sing. (K.) b2: And The direction [or side] of the hand so called: you say, اِلْتَفَتَ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا i. e. [He looked, or turned his face,] in the direction of the يمين and in the direction of the شمال: and the pl. in this sense also is أُشْمُلٌ and شَمَائِلُ: (Msb:) you say, ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَيْمُنِ الإِبِلِ وَأَشْمُلِهَا He went to the right sides of the camels and the left sides thereof. (TA in art. يمن.) b3: [Hence,] (tropical:) Ill luck, unluckiness, or evil fortune. (K, TA.) طَيْرُ الشِّمَالِ means (tropical:) Birds of ill luck: (A, TA:) every bird from which one augurs evil. (O, TA.) One says, جَرَى لَهُ غُرَابُ شِمَالٍ, meaning (assumed tropical:) What was disliked, or hated, happened to him: as though the bird [to which this is likened] came to him from the شِمَال [or direction of the left hand]. (TA.) And when the place that a person occupies is rendered evil, one says, فُلَانٌ عِنْدِى

بِالشِّمَالِ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one is with me, or in my estimation, in an evil plight]. (TA.) b4: See also شَمَالٌ. b5: Also Every handful of corn, or seedproduce, which the reaper grasps [app. because grasped with his left hand]. (K.) A2: And A sort of bag that is put upon the udder of the ewe or goat (S, O, K) when it (i. e. the udder, TA) is heavy [with milk]: (K, * TA:) or it is peculiar to the she-goat: (K:) pl. شُمُلٌ. (K voce عَرَابَةٌ.) b2: And A similar thing that is put to the raceme of a palm-tree, made with pieces of [the garments called] أَكْسِيَة [pl. of كِسَآءٌ], in order that the fruit may not be shaken off. (S, O.) [In this sense it may perhaps be from the same word as pl. of شَمْلَةٌ.]

A3: And A mark made with a hot iron (سِمَةٌ) upon the udder of a ewe or goat. (K.) A4: Also A nature; or a natural disposition or temper or the like: (O, Msb, K:) accord. to Er-Rághib, so called because [it is as though it were a thing] inwrapping the man [and restricting his freedom of action], like as the [garments called]

مَشْمُولٌ A man smitten, or blown upon, by the [north, or northerly,] wind called شَمَال: (S, O:) and in like manner, a meadow, and a pool of water left by a torrent; (O;) or, applied to this last, smitten by the wind thus called so as to become cool: (S:) and hence, with ة, wine (tropical:) cool to the taste; (S, O, TA; *) or wine exposed to the شَمَال and so rendered cool and pleasant: (TA: see also شَمُولٌ:) and fire upon which the wind called the شَمَال has blown: (S, O:) and a night cold, with [wind that is called] شَمَال. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] (tropical:) One whose natural dispositions are liked, approved, or found pleasant: (K:) from [the same epithet applied to] water upon which the شَمَال has blown, and which it has cooled: or, as ISd thinks, from شَمُولٌ [q. v.]: (TA:) or مَشْمُولُ الخَلَائِقِ a man whose natural dispositions are commended; as being likened to wine that is commended: and also whose natural dispositions are discommended; as though from الشَّمَالُ, because they do not commend it when it disperses the clouds: (Har p. 285:) [for] أَخْلَاقٌ مَشْمُولَةٌ [sometimes] means discommended, evil, natural dispositions. (IAar, ISk, TA.) The saying of Aboo-Wejzeh, مَشْمُولَةُ الأُنْسِ مَجْنُوبٌ مَوَاعِدُهَا is expl. by IAar as meaning (assumed tropical:) Her familiarity passes away with the شَمَال, and her promises pass away with the جَنُوب [which is the opposite of the شَمَال]: or, as some relate it, مَجْنُوبَةُ الأُنْسِ مَشْمُولٌ مَوَاعِدُهَا [meaning in like manner, as is said in the TA, on the authority of IAar, in art. جنب: or,] accord. to ISk, meaning her familiarity is commended, because the جنوب, with rain, is desired for abundance of herbage; and her promises are not commended. (TA.) b3: نَوًى مَشْمُولَةٌ, a phrase used by Zuheyr, is expl. as meaning (assumed tropical:) [A tract, or place, towards which one journeys,] that separates friends; because the [wind called]

شَمَال disperses the clouds: (TA:) or it means quickly [or soon] becoming exposed to view; (ISk, O, TA;) from the fact that when the wind called the شَمَال blows the clouds, they delay not to become cleared away, and to depart: (O:) or, accord. to IAar, it means مَأْخُوذٌ بِهَا ذَاتُ الشِّمَالِ [in which the direction of the left hand is taken].

ش

أن1 شَأَنْتُ شَأْنَهُ i. q. قَصَدْتُ قَصْدَهُ [meaning I pursued his (another's) way, or course, doing as he did]; (S, L, K: * in the K, شَأَنَ شَأْنَهُ and قَصَدَ قَصْدَهُ;) and in like manner one says, شَأْنَهُ ↓ اشتأن. (K.) b2: And اِشْأَنْ شَأْنَكَ Do thou what thou dost well. (S, L, K. *) And Keep thou to thy affair. (IAar, L.) b3: And مَا شَأَنَ شَأْنَهُ He did not know, or had not knowledge of, him, or his affair or case or state: (Lh, IAar, L, K:) [from a passage in the L, imperfectly written, it seems, accord. to Lh, to be said of one who does what another likes or dislikes, app. without regard to his liking it or disliking it, agreeably with what here follows:] or (K) this means, (S, K,) or means also, (L,) he did not care for, mind, heed, or regard, him. (S, L, K. [In the S and L, the verb in the sense thus expl. is in the first Pers\.: and in one place in the L it is expl. by أَرَادَ, which often has this meaning.]) One says also, لَأَشْأَننَّ شَأْنَهُمْ, meaning I will assuredly know, or try, prove, or test, (لَأَخْبُرَنَّ,) their affair or case or state: (L:) or this means I will assuredly corrupt, or pervert, or mar, their affair or case or state: (S, L, K: *) and لَأَشْأَنَنَّ خَبَرَهُ, (L,) or خَبَرَهُمْ, (K,) means I will assuredly know, or try, prove, or test, [his, or their, state, or] him, or them. (L, K. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, لَاُخْبِرَنَّهُمْ, is erroneously put for لَأَخْبُرَنَّهُمْ.]) A2: شَأَنَ بَعْدَكَ means صَارَ لَهُ شَأْنٌ [i. e., app., He became a person to whom importance attached (accord. to the general meaning of لَهُ شَأْنٌ) after thou knewest, or sawest, or mettest, him; بَعْدَكَ being for بَعْدَ عَهْدِكَ بِهِ, agreeably with common usage]. (K.) 4 اشأن شَأْنَهُمْ is mentioned by Golius as meaning “ Corrupit ac pervertit rem eorum,” as on the authority of the S, (the right reading in which has been given above,) and on that of the KL, in my copy of which I find nothing of the sort.]8 إِشْتَاَ^َ see 1, first sentence.

شَأْنٌ A thing, an affair, or a business; syn. أَمْرٌ; (S, L, K;) and خَطْبٌ [in the same sense, or in that next following]: (L, K:) a great thing or affair: (Har p. 274:) state, condition, case, quality, or manner of being; syn. حَالٌ: (S, L:) [also property, or nature: and importance attaching to a person or thing:] pl. شُؤُونٌ and شِئَانٌ, (L, K,) the latter mentioned by IJ on the authority of AAF, and شُونٌ occurs in poetry for the former of these, or as another pl. originally شُؤْنٌ, of the measure فُعْلٌ. (L.) It is said in the Kur [lv. 29], كُلَّ يَم ٍ هُوَ فِى شَأْن ٍ [Every day He is employing Himself in an affair of some kind]: expl. as meaning that, of his business (مِنْ شَأْنِهِ [which may also be rendered “ of his property ”]) it is to render mighty one who is brought low, and to bring low one who is mighty, and to enrich one who is poor, and to impoverish one who is rich; and no affair occupies him so as to divert him from an affair (لَا يَشْعَلُهُ شَأْنٌ عَنْ شَأْن ٍ). (L.) [And one says, مَا شَأْنُكَ What is thy affair? or what is thy case? And شَأْنَكَ, for اِشْأَنْ شَأْنَكَ i. e. Pursue thy way or course, or thy affair; or do what thou dost well; or keep to thy affair: or the like: and to this is often added, وَمَا تُرِيدُ i. e. and what thou wilt, or wishest, or desirest. And مِنْ شَأْنِهِ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا It is of his business, or of his property, or nature, to do, or that he should do, such a thing. And رَجُلٌ سَهْلُ الشَّأْنِ (a phrase occurring in the S and K in art. هش) A man of easy nature. And لَهُ شَأْنٌ, sometimes meaning There is for him, or he has, a great thing or affair to perform or transact: but more commonly, great importance attaches to him, or to it: see 1, last sentence. And a grandee, or a prince, is said to be عَظِيمُ الشَّأْنِ i. e. Of great importance or rank or dignity.]

A2: Also [A suture of the skull; i. e.] the place of junction of the قَبَائِل [or principal bones, namely, the frontal, occipital, and two parietal, bones,] of the head: (K:) sing. of شُؤُونٌ, (Mgh,) which signifies the places of junction, (As, S, Mgh, L,) and of meeting, (S, L,) of the قَبَائِل (As, S, Mgh, L) of the head; (S, L;) between every two of which قبائل is a شَأْن: (As, L:) [it is fancifully said that] from them come the tears: (As, S, L:) the pl. is also expl. as meaning the سَلَاسِل [i. e. sutures as being likened to the سلاسل (or lines) of writing] that unite the قبائل: by Lth, as the نَمَانِم [likewise meaning sutures resembling lines of writing] of the skull; between the قبائل: by AHát, as the شُعَب [meaning serrated edges] that unite the قبائل of the head. (L.) b2: And The channel by which the tears flow, or run, to the eye: pl. [of pauc.] أَشْؤُنٌ and [of mult.] شُؤُونٌ: (L, K:) [perhaps thus called because supposed to come from the sutures of the skull: but they may have been supposed to come thence because tears are called مَآءُ الشُّؤُونِ (as in a verse cited voce رَسَمَ); for this phrase may have been misunderstood as signifying “ the water of the sutures of the skull,”

whereas it seems to be properly rendered “ the water of the channels of the tears: ”] it is said that the شُؤُون connect the قبائل of the head [expl. above] to the eye: Lth says that they are the ducts (عُرُوق) of the tears from [the interior of] the head to the eye: and Th, that they are certain ducts (عروق) above the قبائل, which become strong by degrees as the man advances in age: (L: [but it seems that Th has confounded explanations of شؤون in two different senses:]) accord. to ISk, (S,) or AA and others, (L,) the شَأْنَانِ are two ducts (عِرْقَانِ) descending from [the upper part of] the head to the eyebrows and then to the eyes. (S, L.) b3: [The pl. شُؤُونٌ is also expl. as though meaning Tears themselves, in a phrase mentioned voce ذَئِرٌ (q. v.), on the authority of the K.] b4: And شُؤُونٌ الخَمْرِ means (assumed tropical:) The effluvia of wine that creep (مَا دَبَّ مِنَ الخَمْرِ) in the veins of the body. (L.) b5: شَأْنٌ also signifies A vein of earth in a mountain, (L, K,) i. e. a cleft therein, (L,) in which palm-trees are planted; (L, K;) or in which trees of the kind called نَبْع grow; or that produces plants, or herbage: (L:) pl. شُؤُونٌ: (L, K:) which is said by ISd to mean lines, or streaks, in a mountain: or, as some say, cracks, or clefts: and to these cracks, or clefts, the poet Keys Ibn-Kuráa likens [imaginary] clefts in the liver, occasioned by love. (L.) إِنَّهُ لَمِشْأَنُ شَأْن ٍ أَنْ نُفْسِدَكَ is a saying mentioned by Lh, expl. [only] by the words اى ان نعمل فى فسادك [i. e. أَنْ نَعْمَلَ فِى فَسَادِكَ, app. meaning Verily he is busying himself in the doing of a thing in order that we may labour in causing thee to be in a bad, or corrupt, state]. (L.)

(IAar; and L in TA, voce نَدَبٌ.) وَجْبَةٌ inf. n. of وَجَبَ “ it fell down, &c.,” q. v. b2: بِجَنْبِهِ فَلْتَكُنِ الوَجْبَةُ, a proverb, (S,) [(May a disease be) in his side, or (may God afflict him, or smite him, with a disease) in his side, and may falling down upon the ground, and dying, happen (or be the result thereof) ! i. e. بجنبه داءٌ فلتكن الوجبه به; or رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِدَاءٍ بجنبه الخ. (Freytag, Arab. Prov. i. 156)]. b3: وَجْبَةٌ A falling with a sound, or noise, such as that produced by the fall of a wall or the like: (S, K:) [see 1, where it is given as an inf. n. unrestricted to the signification of a single act:] or the sound of a thing falling (K) and producing a sound such as above mentioned. (TA.) A2: وَجَبَهٌ An eating but once in the course of a day and night: (S, K:) or an eating but once in a day until the like eating in the following day: (K:) an inf. n. (Lh) [restricted to the signification of a single act]: you say, فُلَانٌ يَأْكُلُ وَجْبَةً Such a one eats but once (T) in the course of the day and night. (Az, S.) [See also صَيْرَمٌ.] b2: In a trad. respecting the expiation of an oath, it is said, يُطْعِمُ عَشَرَةَ مَسَاكِينَ وَجْبَةً وَاحِدَةً [He shall feed ten poor men with a meal sufficient for a day and a night].

In the science of the fundamentals of religion, Necessarily being or existing; of which the nonexistence cannot be mentally conceived: as the essence of God. (IbrD.)] b2: Accord. to [the Imám] Aboo-Haneefeh, وَاجِبٌ [in matters of religion] is not so strong a term as فَرْضٌ: [and so may be rendered incumbent, or obligatory; or that which is a necessary, or indispensable, duty; yet not so decisively or manifestly shown to be such as that which is termed فرض:] or, accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee, these two terms are syn., signifying [binding, incumbent, or obligatory, by God's express appointment, as] a thing for neglecting which one will be punished: and واجب signifies that which should be preferred and approved; thus explained by ElKhattábee as occurring in the following trad.: غُسْلُ الجُمْعَةِ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُحْتَلِمٍ The ablution prescribed to be performed on Friday is an act which every one who has experienced a nocturnal pollution should prefer and approve. (TA.)

مَوْجِبٌ A place where one falls down and dies; where one dies]. b2: خَرَجَ القَوْمُ إِلَى مَوَاجِبِهِمْ, i. e. الى مَصَارِعِهِمْ; The people went forth to the places where they should be prostrated; or, as implied in the S, where they should full down and die; or where they should die]. (S.) A2: مُوجِبٌ [and ↓ مُوجِبَةٌ] A cause; an efficient; that which produces, or effects, anything. (Msb.) b2: See كَلَامٌ مُوجَبٌ

(TA.) مُوجِبَةٌ A great sin for which one deserves punishment [in the world to come]: (TA:) or a great sin, and also an act of great goodness, which makes [the punishment of] hell, or [the reward of] paradise, the consequence thereof unless followed by repentance &c.] (K.) b2: أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّى أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ [O God, I ask of thee those things which will procure thy mercy!]. (TA, from a trad.) b3: See مُوجِبٌ.

مُوَجِّبٌ One who eats but once in the course of a day and a night. (Az, S.) A2: مُوَجِّبٌ A beast of carriage that is frightened at everything. (ISd.) Not known to AM. (TA.) b2: See وَجْبٌ in two places.

(Mgh.) b2: مُوَادَعَةٌ is also syn. with تَرْكٌ; as also ↓ دَعَةٌ: (TA:) so that وَادَعَهُ signifies He left him: but more correctly, he left him, being left by him; like تَارَكَهُ, and خَالَاهُ; and this is the primary meaning.5 تَوَدَّعَ see 1.6 تَوَادَعَا They two made peace, or became reconciled, each with the other.

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.

(as well as a sing.), it may be also rendered good things:] and it is also used by the Arabs to signify horses; (K, * TA;) and has this meaning in the Kur, xxxviii. 31: (TA:) [it is often best rendered good fortune; prosperity; welfare; wellbeing; weal; happiness; or a good state or condition: and sometimes bounty, or beneficence.] رَجُلٌ قَلِيلُ الخَيْرِ means [A man possessing little, or no, good; possessing few, or no, good things; or poor: and in whom is little, or no, good or goodness; or niggardly: and also] a man who does little good: (TA in art. عص:) or [who does no good;] who is not near to doing good; denoting the nonexistence of good in him. (Msb in art. قل.) [Thus it sometimes means the same as رَجُلٌ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ A man in whom is no good or goodness; devoid of goodness; worthless.] And قِلَّةُ خَيْرٍ means Poverty: and also niggardliness. (A and TA in art. جحد.) هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ وَالخِيرِ is explained voce خِيرٌ.

عَلَىيَدَىِ الخَيْرِ وَاليُمْنِ [May it be with the aid of good fortune and prosperity] is a prayer used with respect to a marriage. (A 'Obeyd, TA.) And إِنَّكَ مَا وَخَيْرًا means مَعَ خَيْرٍ, i. e., Mayest thou meet with, or attain, good. (K.) b2: خَيْرٌ in the phrase فُلَانٌ خَيْرٌ resembles an epithet [like ↓ خَيِّرٌ, and signifies Good; or possessing good]; (Akh, S;) therefore the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ, (Akh, S, Msb, *) as occurring in the Kur, lv. 70; and they do not [there] mean by it [the comparative or superlative signification of the measure] أَفْعَلُ: (Akh, S:) you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيِّرٌ, (S, A, Msb,) meaning [A good man; or] a man possessing خَيْر [or good]; (Msb;) and رَجُلٌ خَيْرٌ: (S:) and in like manner, ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ خَيِّرَةٌ and خَيْرَةٌ, (S, Msb,) meaning [A good woman; or] a woman excellent in beauty and disposition: (Msb:) or خَيْرٌ and ↓ خَيِّرٌ signify possessing much خَيْر [or good], (K,) applied to a man; (TA;) and in the same sense you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيْرَى, and ↓ خُورَى, and ↓ خِيَرى: and the fem. of the first is خَيْرَةٌ; and of the second, ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (K:) and the pl. [of pauc.] (of the first, TA) is أَخْيَارٌ, and [of mult.] خِيَارٌ: (A, Msb, K:) you say also خِيَارُ المَالِ, meaning The excellent of the camels or the like: (Msb, K:) and in like manner you say of men &c.: (TA:) [see also below:] and the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ: (Msb:) خِيَارٌ is contr. of أَشْرَارٌ, (S, Mgh,) [thus] used as an epithet: (Mgh:) and ↓ خَيْرَةٌ [used as a subst.] signifies anything excellent; and the pl. thereof in this sense, خَيْرَاتٌ, occurs in the Kur, ix. 89: (S:) or خَيْرٌ, (K,) or the fem. خَيْرَةٌ, (Lth,) or each, (K.) signifies excellent in beauty: (Lth, K:) and ↓ خَيِّرٌ and خَيِّرَةٌ signify excellent in righteousness (Lth, K) and religion: (K:) or there is no difference in the opinion of the lexicologists [in general] between خَيْرَةٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (Az:) accord. to Zj, خَيْرَاتٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَاتٌ, both occurring in different readings of the Kur, lv. 70, signify good in dispositions: accord. to Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, خَيْرَةٌ, applied to a woman, signifies generous in race, exalted in rank or quality or reputation, goodly in face, good in disposition, possessing much wealth, who, if she bring forth, brings forth a generous child: (TA:) [↓ خِيَارٌ is also applied as an epithet to a sing. subst., either masc. or fem.:] you say جَمَلٌ خِيَارٌ and نَاقَةٌ خِيَارٌ, meaning A he-camel [that is excellent or] excellent and brisk and so a she-camel. (TA.) See also مُخْتَارٌ, in three places. In the saying لَعَمَرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرُ, the word خَيْر is in the nom. case as an epithet of عَمْر; [so that the phrase lit. means By the good life of thy father;] but properly it should be لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرِ [By the life of thy good father]: and the like is said with شَرّ. (TA.) [See also art. عمر.]

b3: خَيْرٌ is also used to denote superiority: one says, هٰذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ هٰذَا This is better than this: and in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir, ↓ هٰذَا أَخْيَرُ مِنْ هٰذَا, with أ, and in like manner, أَشَّرُ; but the rest of the Arabs drop the أ in each case: (Msb:) you say, مِنْكَ ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ [He is better than thou], and in like manner, أَشَّرُ مِنْكَ; and هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ, and in like manner, شَرٌّ مِنْكَ; and, [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ,] مِنْكَ ↓ خُيَيْرٌ, and in like manner, شُرَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) Youalso say, when you mean to express the signification of superiority, فُلَانَةٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a woman is the best of mankind]; but not خَيْرَةُ: [see, however, what will be found cited hereafter from the K,] and فُلَانٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a man is the best of mankind]; but not ↓ أَخْيَرُ [unless in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir]: and [it is said that] خَيْرُ when thus used does not assume the dual form nor the pl., because it has the signification of [the measure] أَفْعَلُ: for though a poet uses the dual form, he uses it as a contraction of the dual of خَيِّرٌ, like مَيْتٌ and مَيِّتٌ, and هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ: (S:) [but. this remark in the S is incorrect: for both خَيْر and ↓ أَخْيَر, when used in such phrases as those to which J here refers, have pl. forms of frequent occurrence, and of which examples will be found below; and, as is said by I 'Ak (p. 239), and by many other grammarians, you may say, الزَّيْدَانِ أَفْضَلَا القَوْمِ, and الزَّيْدُونَ أَفْضَلُو القَوْمِ and أَفَاضِلُ القَوْمِ, and also هِنْدُ فُضْلَىالنِّسَآءِ, &c.; and such concordance is found in the Kur, vi. 123; and is even said by many to be more chaste than the mode prescribed by J:] it is said in the K, that you say, ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ مِنْكَ, like خَيْرُ; and when you mean the signification of superiority, you say فُلَانٌ خَيْرَةٌ النَّاسِ, with ة, and فُلَانَةُ خَيْرُهُمْ, without ة: but [SM says,] I know not how this is; for in the S is said what is different from this, and in like manner by Z in several places in the Ksh; and what is most strange is, that the author of the K quotes in the B the passage of J [from the S], and adopts the opinion of the leading authorities [as given in the S]: (TA:) or you say, فُلَانَةُ الخَيْرَةُ مِنَ المَرْأَتَيْنِ [Such a woman is the better of the two women]: and هِىَ الخَيْرَةُ, and ↓ الخِيرَةُ, [so in the TA, but in the CK الخِيَرَةُ,] and ↓ الخِيرَى, and ↓ الخُورَى, [the last being fem. of أَخْيَرُ, originally خُيْرَى, and so, app., the last but one, She is the better, or best:] (K:) and [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ] you say, أَهْلِهِ ↓ هُوَ خُيَيْرُ [He is the best of his family]: (Ibn-Buzurj, TA:) one says also, to one coming from a journey, خَيْرَ مَا رُدَّ فِى أَهْلٍ

وَمَالٍ, meaning May God make that with which thou comest [back] to be the best of what is brought back by the absent with family and property; (As, Meyd, TA;) or, as some relate it, خَيْرُ, i. e. رَدُّكَ خَيْرُ رَدٍّ [may thy bringing back be the best bringing back]; and فى is used in the sense of مَعَ: (Meyd:) [أَخْيَارٌ is pl. of pauc., and خِيَارٌ pl. of mult., and so app. is خِيرَانٌ, of خَيْرٌ thus used; and ↓ أَخَايِرُ is pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so is أَخْيَرُونَ applied to rational beings: in the TA, أَخَايِرُ is said to be a pl. pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so خِيرَانٌ; but this is app. a mistake, probably of transcription:] you say رَجُلٌ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ and أَخْيَارِهِمْ and ↓ أَخَايِرِهِمْ [A man of the best of mankind]: (A, TA:) and لَكَ خِيَارُ هٰذِهِ الإِبِلِ, and ↓ خِيرَتُهَا, [Thine are, or is, or shall be, the best of these camels,] alike with respect to a sing. and a pl.: (TA:) and إِبِلِهِ ↓ نَحَرَ خِيرَةَ and إِبِلِهِ ↓ خُورَةَ [He slaughtered the best of his camels]: (IAar, TA:) and ↓ هُمُ الأَخْيَرُونَ [They (meaning men) are the better, or best]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) A2: مَا خَيْرَ for مَا أَخْيَرَ: see 4, in two places.

(TA.) خِيرٌ Generousness; generosity; (S, A, Msb, K;) liberality; munificence. (Msb.) You say, فُلَانٌ ذُو خِيرٍ Such a one is a possessor of generousness, or generosity, &c. (Msb.) And هُوَ مِنْ وَالخِيرِ ↓ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ [He is of the people of good, or of wealth, &c., and of generosity]. (A.) b2: Eminence; elevated state or condition; nobility. (IAar, K.) b3: Origin.

(TA.) You say, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ خِيرَةً مِنَ اللّٰهِ [That was through God's blessing, prospering, or favour; &c.: or through God's choosing the better thing in the affair]. (A.) خِيَرَةٌ and ↓ خِيرَةٌ (of which the former is the better known, TA) are substs. from اِخْتَارَهُ, (K,) or from اِخْتَارَهُ اللّٰهُ, (S,) both signifying A thing, man, or beast, and things, &c, that one chooses: (TA:) or [a thing, &c.,] chosen, selected, or elected: (Mgh:) as in the saying, مُحَمَّدُ خِيَرَةُ اللّٰهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ and ↓ خِيرَتُهُ [Mohammad is the chosen, or elect, of God, from his creatures]: (S, Mgh: *) or ↓ خِيرَةٌ is a subst. from الاِخْتِيَارٌ, like فِدْيَةٌ from الاِفْتِدَآءُ; and خِيَرَةٌ is syn. with خِيَارٌ and اِخْتِيَارٌ; or is from تَخَيَّرْتُ الشَّىْءَ: or, as some say, خِيرَةٌ and خِيَرَةٌ are syn.: (Msb:) see 8; and see also خِيَارٌ: and ↓ هٰذِهِ خِيرَتِى (Msb, TA) or خِيَرَتِى (TA) means This is what I choose; (Msb, (TA;) and so هٰذَا خيرتى: and هٰؤُلَآءِ خيرتى
