One says, هُوَ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ [expl. by what here follows]. (S, O.) The Prophet said, respecting 'Amr Ibn-'Ámir El-Khurá'ee, who first set at liberty سَوَائِب [pl. of سَائِبَةٌ, q. v.], (O,) or respecting 'Amr Ibn-Kamee-ah, who first changed the religion of Ishmael, (TA,) رَأَيْتُهُ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِى النُّارِ [I saw him dragging his guts in the fire of Hell]. (O, TA.) b2: El-Aashà in his saying وَشَاهِدُنَا الجُلَّ وَاليَاسَمِى

نُ وَالمُسْمِعَاتُ بِأَقْصَابِهَا means [The rose being present with us, and the jasmine, and the songstresses] with their chords of gut: or, as some relate it, (and as it is cited in the M,) he said ↓ بِقُصَّابِهَا, meaning with their musical reeds, or pipes. (S, O.) b3: And (tropical:) The middle of the body; metaphorically applied thereto: so in the saying of Imra-el-Keys, (S, O, L,) or, accord. to the people of El-Koofeh and ElBasrah, it is falsely ascribed to him, (O,) والقُصْبُ مُضْطَمِرٌ وَالمَتْنُ مَلْحُوبُ [And the middle of the body slender and lean, and the portion next the back-bone, on either side, smooth, and sloping downwards].

[SM, not having found this in any lexicon but the K, supposed that الظَّهْرُ might be substituted in it for الخَصْرُ, which is not therein mentioned as a meaning of القُصْبُ.]) قَصَبٌ [a coll. gen. n., signifying Reeds, or canes; and the like, as the culms of corn, &c.; and sometimes signifying a reed, or cane, and the like, as meaning a species thereof;] any plant having (M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) its stem composed of (Mgh, Msb) أَنَابِيب [or internodial portions] (M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and [their] كُعُوب [or connecting knots, or joints]; (Mgh, Msb;) [i. e. any kind, or species, of plant having a jointed stem;] i. q. أَبَآءٌ [a word comparatively little known]; (S; [in the O اَناء, a mistranscription;]) and [it is said that] ↓ قَصْبَآءُ signifies the same: (S, O: [but see what follows:]) the n. un. of the former is ↓ قَصَبَةٌ (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ قَصْبَاةٌ or ↓ قَصَبَاةٌ: (K accord. to different copies; the former accord. to the TA: [but each of these I believe to be a mistake for ↓ قَصُبْآءَةٌ, which is said to be a n. un. of قَصْبَآءُ, and therefore held by some to be syn. with قَصَبَةٌ:]) ↓ قَصْبَآءُ [appears, however, to differ somewhat from قَصَب, for it is said that it] signifies an assemblage of قَصَب; (M, K;) and its n. un. is ↓ قَصَبَةٌ and ↓ قَصْبَآءَةٌ [like حَلَفَةٌ and حَلْفَآءَةٌ which are both said to be ns. un. of حَلْفَآءٌ; and طَرَفَةٌ and طَرْفَآءَةٌ, said to be ns. un. of طَرْفَآءٌ; the former in each case anomalous]: (M: [see also Ham p. 201:]) or, accord. to Sb, ↓ قَصْبَآءُ is sing. and pl., (S, M, Mgh, O,) and so طَرْفَآءُ, (S, M, O,) and حَلْفَآءُ; (S, O;) as pl. and as sing. also having the sign of the fem. gender; therefore, when they mean to express the sing. signification, they add the epithet وَاحِدَةٌ; thus, and thus only, distinguishing the sing. meaning from the pl., and making a difference between a word of this class and a noun that denotes a pl. meaning and has not the sign of the fem. gender such as تَمْرٌ and بُسْرٌ, and such as أَرْطًى and عَلْقًى of which the ns. un. are أَرْطَاةٌ and عَلْقَاةٌ: (M:) or, as some say, ↓ قَصْبَآءُ signifies many قَصَب growing in a place: (Mgh:) and it signifies also a place in which قَصَب grow: (M, K:) [or] ↓ مَقْصَبَةٌ has this last meaning; (Mgh, Msb;) or signifies, like ↓ أَرْضٌ قَصِبَةٌ, a land having قَصَب. (M, K. *) b2: أَحْرَزَ قَصَبَ السَّبْقِ, (Msb,) or السَّبْقِ ↓ قَصَبَةَ, (TA,) [meaning (assumed tropical:) He won, or acquired, the canes, or cane, of victory in racing,] is said of the winner in horseracing: they used to set up, in the horse-course, a cane (قَصَبَة,) and he who outstripped plucked it up and took it, in order that he might be known to be the one who outstripped, without contention: this was the origin of the phrase: then, in consequence of frequency of usage, it was applied also to the expeditious, quick, and light, or active: (Msb, * TA:) [accord. to the TA, it is a tropical phrase, but perhaps it is so only when used in the latter way:] it is said in a trad. of Sa'eed Ibn-El-Ás, that he measured the horse-course with the cane, making it to be a hundred canes in length, and the cane was stuck upright in the ground at the goal, and he who was first in arriving at it took it, and was entitled to the stake. (O, TA. [See also مُقَصِّبٌ.]) b3: [The ↓ قَصَبَة here mentioned as A certain measure of length, used in measuring race-courses, was also used in other cases, in measuring land, and differed in different countries and in different times: accord. to some, it was ten cubits; thus nearly agreeing with our “ rod: ” (see جَرِيبٌ:) accord. to others, six cubits and a third of a cubit: (see فَدَّانٌ:) the modern Egyptian قَصَبَة, until it was reduced some years ago, was about twelve English feet and a half; its twentyfourth part, called قَبْضَةٌ, being the measure of a man's fist with the thumb erect, or about six inches and a quarter.] b4: القَصَبُ الفَارِسِىُّ [The Persian reed] is a kind whereof writing-reeds are made: (Mgh, Msb:) and another kind thereof is hard and thick; and of this kind are made musical reeds, or pipes; and with it houses, or chambers, are roofed.

(A, TA.) b5: قَصَبُ السُّكَّرِ is well-known [as meaning The sugar-cane]: (Msb:) this is of three kinds; white and yellow and black: of the first and second, but not of the third, the juice [of which sugar is made] is expressed; and this expressed juice is called عَسَلُ القَصَبِ. (Mgh.) b6: قَصَبُ الذَّرِيرَةِ [is Calamus aromaticus; also called قَصَبُ الطِّيبِ]: a species thereof has the joints near together, and breaks into many fragments, or splinters, and the internodial portions thereof are filled with a substance like spiders' webs: when chewed, it has an acrid taste, and it is aromatic (Mgh, Msb) when brayed, or powdered; (Mgh;) and inclines to yellowness and whiteness. (Mgh, Msb. [See also ذَرِيرَةٌ, in art. ذر.]) b7: قَصَبٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) Any round and hollow bone [or rather bones]; (S, O;) it is pl. [or rather a coll. gen. n.] of which ↓ قَصَبَةٌ is the sing. [or n. un,], this latter signifying any bone containing marrow; (M, K;) thus called by way of comparison [to the reed, or cane].

(Msb, TA.) b9: And (assumed tropical:) The bones and veins of a wing. (MF.) b10: [And (assumed tropical:) Quills: thus in the phrase صَارَ الرِّيشُ قَصَبًا, in the K, voce أَنُوقٌ, meaning The feathers became quills: n. un. ↓ قَصَبَةٌ: see صَنَمَةٌ.] b11: And (tropical:) [The bronchi;] the branches of the windpipe; (M, K;) and outlets of the breath; (K;) [i. e.] القَصَبُ, (S, M, O,) or فَصَبُ الرِّئَةِ, (A, Msb,) signifies the ducts (عُرُوق) of the lungs; (S, A, O, Msb;) through which the breath passes forth.

1 سَجَلَ المَآءَ, (S, K,) inf. n. سَجْلٌ, (TA,) He poured out, or forth, the water, (S, K, JM, TA,) continuously. (JM, TA.) b2: Hence, سَجَلَ القُرْآنَ He read, or recited, the Kur-án continuously. (JM. [See also سَحَلَ.]) b3: See also 2: b4: and 4.2 سجّل, inf. n. تَسْجِيلٌ, (S, Msb, K,) said of a judge, (S,) or kádee, (Msb,) He wrote a سِجِلّ [q. v.]: (S, * K:) or he decided judicially, and recorded his sentence in the سِجِلّ: (Msb:) and Mtr says that ↓ إِسْجَالٌ may be syn. with تَسْجِيلٌ, signifying the writing of سِجِلَّات [pl. of سِجِلٌّ], though not found by him in the lexicons: (Har p. 473:) [but I have found it, for Sgh says,] the إِسْجَال of the kádee and his تَسْجِيل are one [in meaning]. (O.) You say, سجّل بِهِ He decided it judicially, [and recorded it in the سِجِلّ;] or he decreed it decisively; so expl. by the Shereef: or, as in the 'Ináyeh, he established it and recorded it [in the سِجِلّ]. (TA.) And سجّل القَاضِى

لِفُلَانٍ بِمَالِهِ The kádee secured to such a one his property [by a judicial decision recorded in the سِجِلّ]. (TA.) And سجّل عَلَيْهِ القَاضِى [The kadee decided judicially against him, and recorded his sentence in the سِجِلّ]. (Mgh.) b2: And سجّل عَلَيْهِ بِكَذَا (assumed tropical:) He rendered him notorious by reason of such a thing, and stigmatized him with it. (Z, TA.) A2: And سجّل بِهِ He threw it from above; as also ↓ سَجَلَ, inf. n. سَجْلٌ. (K.) A3: And سجّل, inf. n. as above, He (a man, TA) became affected with carnal appetite. (K.) 3 ساجــلهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُــسَاجَــلَةٌ, (S, IB, TA,) [and app. سِجَالٌ also, (see سَجْلٌ,)] He vied, competed, or contended for superiority, with him; emulated, or rivalled, him; or imitated him; (S, IB, * K;) doing like as he did; (S, IB;) originally in the drawing of water; (S, * IB;) each of them bringing forth in his سَجْل [or bucket] the like of what the other brought forth [or endeavouring to do so]; the one, of them, that desisted being overcome: (IB:) and also, (assumed tropical:) in running: or in watering. (S.) Hence, فُلَانٌ يُــسَاجِــلُ فُلَانًا (tropical:) Such a one vies with such a one, each of them producing, [of the evidences] of nobility, the like of what the other produces; the one, of them, that desists being overcome. (IB.) El-Fadl Ibn-'Abbás Ibn-'Otbeh Ibn-Abee-Lahab says, مَنْ يُــسَاجِــلْنِى يُــسَاجِــلْ مَاجِدًا يَمْلَأُ الدَّلْوَ إِلَى عَقْدِ الكَرَبْ [He who contends for superiority with me contends for superiority with one possessing glory, who fills the bucket to the tying of the rope that is attacked to the middle of its cross-bars]: and hence the saying, الحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ. (S. [See سَجْلٌ.]) 4 اسجلهُ He gave him a bucketful (سَجْلًا) or two bucketfuls (سَجْلَيْنِ): (K:) or, as some say, (assumed tropical:) he gave him much. (TA.) b2: And اسجل الحَوْضَ He filled the watering-trough, or tank; (S, K;) as also ↓سَجَلَهُ. (JM.) b3: أُسْجِلَتِ البَهِيمَةُ مَعَ أُمِّهَا The beast was sent forth, or set loose or free, with its mother. (TA.) It is said in a trad., لَا تُسْجِلُوا أَنْعَامَكُمْ, meaning Set not loose your cattle in men's fields of seed-produce. (TA.) b4: And you say, اسجل النَّاسَ He left, or left alone, the people. (K.) b5: And اسجل لَهُمُ الأَمْرَ (assumed tropical:) He made the affair free, or allowable, to them. (K.) b6: And أَسْجَلْتُ الكَلَامَ (assumed tropical:) I made the speech, or language, to be unrestricted. (S.) A2: اسجل He (a man, TA) abounded in goodness, (K, TA,) and beneficence, and gifts to men. (TA.) A3: أَسْجَلْتُ لِلرَّجُلِ, inf. n. إِسْجَالٌ, I wrote a writing for the man. (Msb.) b2: See also 2.6 تــساجــلوا They vied, competed, or contended for superiority, one with another; emulated, or rivalled, one another; or imitated one another; [originally, in the drawing of water: and hence, (assumed tropical:) in other things: (see 3:)] (S, TA:) and هُمَا يَتَــسَاجَــلَانِ They two vie, &c., each with the other. (K.) 7 انسجل It (water) poured out, or forth; or became poured out, or forth; (S, K;) [app., continuously: see 1.]

سَجْلٌ A full bucket: so accord. to Az and ElFárábee and others: (MS:) or a bucket containing water, whether little or much: such as is empty is not called سَجْلٌ nor ذَنُوبٌ: (S:) or a great bucket: (Msb: [see also سَجِيلٌ:]) or a great bucket that is full (K, TA) of water: (TA:) and a bucketful; the quantity that fills a bucket: (K:) it is of the masc. gender [though دَلْوٌ (the most common word for “ a bucket ”) is generally fem.]: (S, K:) pl. سِجَالٌ. (S.) b2: And [hence,] (assumed tropical:) A share, or portion; (Msb;) like دَلَاةٌ [which likewise originally signifies “ a bucket ”]. (S in art. دلو. [See also سَجِيلٌ.]) And hence is derived the saying, الحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ, [as though meaning (assumed tropical:) War is an affair of shares, or portions;] i. e. the victory in war is shared by turns among the people [engaged therein]: (Msb:) [but it is implied in the S that it is from المُــسَاجَــلَةُ, and that سِجَالٌ is here an inf. n. like مُــسَاجَــلَةٌ, agreeably with analogy; and if so, the saying may be rendered war is a contention for superiority: (see 3:)] or the saying الحَرْبُ بَيْنَهُمْ سِجَالٌ means (assumed tropical:) [War between them consists of portions, in such a manner that] a سَجْل [or portion] thereof is against these, and another is against these: (K:) originating from the act of two men drawing water with two buckets from a well, each of them having [in his turn] a full bucket. (TA.) You say also, أَعْطَاهُ سَجْلَهُ مِنْ كَذَا (tropical:) He gave him his share, or portion, of such a thing; like as one says, ذَنُوبَهُ. (Har p. 19.) The phrase سَجْلٌ

↓ سَجِيلٌ in the saying لَهُمْ مِنَ المَجْدِ سَجْلٌ سَجِيلٌ (K, * TA) has an intensive signification; (K, TA;) [the saying app. meaning (assumed tropical:) They have, of glory, a large share.] b3: Hence likewise, metaphorically applied to signify (tropical:) A gift: one says جَوَادٌ عَظِيمُ السَّجْلِ (tropical:) [A bountiful man who is large in gift]. (Har ibid. [The first word in this saying is there written جوّاد.]) One says also, لَهُ بِرٌّ فَائِضُ السِّجَالِ (assumed tropical:) [He has overflowing goodness or beneficence]. (TA.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A bountiful man. (Abu-l-' Omeythil, K.) b5: And (assumed tropical:) A great udder: pl. سِجَالٌ and سُجُولٌ. (K.) A2: See also سِجِلٌّ, in two places.

سِجْلٌ: see the next paragraph.

سِجِلٌّ A writing; or paper, or piece of skin, written upon; (K, * TA;) as also سُجُلٌّ (TA) and ↓ سِجْلٌ (K, TA) [and ↓ سَجْلٌ, as appears from what follows]: or a طُومَار [meaning a roll, or scroll, or the like,] for writing upon or written upon: (Bd in xxi. 104:) and a written statement of a contract and the like; (K, TA;) i. e.

(Msb, K.) كَطَىِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكِتَابِ, in the Kur xxi. 104, means Like the folding of the طُومَار [expl. above] for the purpose of writing [thereon]: or for what is to be written: (Bd:) or upon what is written; (Bd, * Jel;) i. e., upon the written record [of the works] of the son of Adam at his death: (Jel:) or السِّجِلّ here has the third of the meanings here following: (Bd, Jel:] or the second thereof. (Bd.) b2: And A writer, or scribe: (K:) and so some explain it in the verse above cited. (TA.) b3: And السِّجِلُّ A certain scribe of the Prophet. (K.) b4: And A certain angel, (K,) who folds the written statements of [men's] works. (Bd ubi suprà.) b5: And, without the article, A man, in the Abyssinian language. (K.) In the verse cited above, I' Ab read ↓ السَّجْلِ, and explained it as meaning A certain man: but it is also said to mean a certain angel: and another reading is السُّجُلِّ, a dial. var. mentioned above. (TA.) السِّجَالُ a name for The ewe. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) b2: And سِجَال سِجَال [i. e. سِجَالْ سِجَالْ, so in my MS. copy of the K, but in the CK سِجالِ سِجالِ,] is A call to the ewe to be milked. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) سَجُولٌ A she-goat abounding in milk: thus correctly, as in the O: in the copies of the K, in the place of عَنْزٌ is put عَيْنٌ [making the meaning to be a spring abounding in water or an eye abounding in tears]. (TA.) سَجِيلٌ, applied to a bucket (دَلْو), Large, or big; as also with ة: (K:) or ↓ سَجِيلَةٌ [alone, i. e. as a subst., rendered such by the affix ة,] signifies a large, or big, bucket.

A2: And A share, or portion: (K:) IAar says, it is of the measure فَعِيلٌ from سَجْلٌ meaning “ a full bucket ” [and likewise “ a share, or portion ”]; but, he adds, it does not please me. (TA.) سَجَالَةٌ, in a testicle, Flaccidity and wideness in the scrotum. (K.) سَجِيلَةٌ: see سَجِيلٌ.

سِجِّيلٌ Stones like lumps of dry, or tough, clay: arabicized from سَنْگ وَ گِلْ; (K, TA;) which are Pers\. words, meaning “ stone and clay; ” the conjunction falling out in the arabicizing: (TA:) or baked clay: (Jel in xi. 84 and xv. 74 and cv. 4:) or stones (S, K) of clay (S) baked by the fire of Hell, whereon were inscribed the names of the people [for whom they were destined]: (S, K:) so in the Kur; as is indicated therein, in li. 33 and 34: (S:) or مِنْ سَجِّيلٍ in the Kur means مِنْ سِجِلٍّ, i. e. of what had been written [or decreed] for them, that they should be punished therewith; and سِجِّيل means the same as سِجِّين, mentioned and expl. in the Kur lxxxiii. 8 and 9: (K:) AO says that من سجّيل means many and hard; and that سِجِّينٌ is syn. with سِجِّيلٌ in this sense: (TA:) it is also said to be from سِجِّينٌ meaning Hell; the ن being changed into ل: (Bd in xi. 84:) also, to be from أَسْجَلْتُهُ meaning “ I sent forth him or it: ” or from أَسْجَلْتُ meaning “ I gave; ” and to be from السَّجْلُ. (TA.) A2: Also i. q. دَائِمٌ; and so سِجِّينْ [q. v.]. (L in art. سجن.) سَجَنْجَلٌ A mirror: (S, K:) or a Chinese mirror: (MA:) [said to be] a Greek word (رُومِىٌّ), (S, K,) arabicized: (S:) and some say زَجَنْجَلٌ. (Az, TA.) [Pl., accord. to Freytag, سَنَاجِلُ.] b2: And (assumed tropical:) Pieces such as are termed سَبَاجِلُ, of silver; (K, * TA;) as being likened to the mirror. (TA.) b3: And Gold. (K.) b4: And Saffron.

(L.) b3: And سَجَنَ الهَمَّ (tropical:) He secreted anxiety; did not reveal it. (L, K.) A poet says, وَ لَا تَسْجُنَنَّ الهَمَّ إِنَّ لِسَجْنِهِ عَنَآءً وَ حَمِّلْهُ المَهَارَى النَّوَاجِيَا (tropical:) [And by no means secrete thou anxiety: verily to the secreting thereof pertains embarrassment: but load with it fleet camels of Mahreh]. (L.) 2 سجّنهُ, inf. n. تَسْجِينٌ, i. q. شَقَّقَهُ [He cut it, or divided it, lengthwise; clave it; split it; &c.].

A4: Also Palm-trees (نَخْل) such as are termed سِلْتِين (As, L, K) in the dial. of the people of El-Bahreyn; (As, L;) [app. meaning that the latter word is of that dial.; for it is said that] the Arabs [app. the Arabs in general] say سِجِّين in the place of سِلْتِين, which is not Arabic: (L:) the palm-trees thus termed are such as have trenches dug at their feet to conduct the water to them when it has not reached to them.

(L.) مَسْجَنَةٌ, accord. to Freytag, The act of imprisoning: but it seems rather to be a word of the class of مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ &c., and to signify a cause of imprisonment.]

مَسْجُونٌ: see سَجِينٌ.
