حلقم

Q. 1 حَلْقَمَهُ, (S, K,) inf. n. حَلْقَمَةٌ, (TA,) He cut, or severed, his حُلْقُوم [or windpipe]; (S, K;) accord. to the K, meaning his حَلْق; but see the explanations of حلقوم below: (TA:) he slaughtered him in the manner termed ذَبْحٌ. (TA.) [Mentioned in the Msb in art. حلق.]

A2: حَلْقَمَ الرُّطَبُ [or rather البُسْرُ] (assumed tropical:) The dates began to be ripe next the base; as also حَلْقَنَ, in which the ن is asserted by Yaakoob to be a substitute for م. (TA.) Q. 3 احْلَنْقَمَ He left, or forsook, food; expl. by تَرَكَ الطَّعَامَ. (K.) حُلْقُومٌ The windpipe, or passage of the breath; (T, Mgh, TA;) by the cutting, or severing, of which, and of the مَرِىْء [or œsophagus] and وَدَجَانِ [or two external jugular veins], the lawful slaughtering of an animal is completed: (T, TA:) accord. to the S and K, [and to the Msb, in art. حلق, though it is there correctly and fully explained as meaning the windpipe,] i. q. حَلْقٌ: but in the M it is explained [agreeably with general usage] as the passage of the breath, and of coughing, from the جَوْف [or chest]; consisting of a series of successively-superimposed cartilages (أَطْبَاقُ غَرَاضِيفَ), before which, in the exterior of the throat, is nothing but skin; having its lower extremity in the lungs, and its upper extremity at the root of the tongue: from it pass forth the breath and the wind and the saliva and the voice: [see also another explanation voce حَلْقٌ, from Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán,” and the Msb:] pl. حَلَاقِمُ and حَلَاقِيمُ. (TA.) Accord. to some, the م is augmentative: accord. to others, radical. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] they say, نَزَلْنَا مِثْلَ حُلْقُومِ النَّعَامَةِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) We alighted in a strait, or confined, place. (TA.) And حَلَاقِيمُ البِلَادِ means (assumed tropical:) The strait, or confined, parts of the country, or of countries: (Mgh:) or the lateral, and extreme, parts thereof. (TA.) حُلْقَامةٌ: see what follows.

رُطَبٌ مُحَلْقِمٌ [or rather بُسْرٌ محلقم] (assumed tropical:) Dates that have begun to be ripe next the base; (K;) [or that have become ripe to the extent of two thirds; (see حُلْقَانٌ in art. حلق;)] as also مُحَلْقِنٌ: (TA:) and ↓ رُطَبَةٌ حُلْقَامَةٌ [or rather بُسْرَةٌ حلقامة (in the CK حَلْقَامَةٌ)] is applied to a single date in this sense. (K, * TA.)

تهافت الفلاسفة
للإمام، حجة الإسلام، أبي حامد: محمد بن محمد الغزالي، الطوسي.
المتوفى: سنة 505، خمس وخمسمائة.
مختصر.
أوله: (نسأل الله تعالى بجلاله، الموفى على كل نهاية 000 الخ).
قال: رأيت طائفة يعتقدون في أنفسهم التميز عن الأتراب والنظراء، بمزيد الفطنة والذكاء، قد رفضوا وظائف الإسلام من العبادات، واستحقروا شعائر الدين من وظائف الصلوات، والتوقي عن المحظورات، واستهانوا بتعبدات الشرع وحدوده، ولم يقفوا عند توفيقاته وقيوده، بل خلعوا بالكلية ربقة الدين، بفنون من الظنون.
يتبعون فيها رهطاً يصدون عن سبيل الله، ويبغونها عوجاً، وهم بالآخرة هم كافرون، ولا مستند لكفرهم غير تقليد سماعي، ألفي كتقليد اليهود والنصارى.
إذ جرى على غير دين الإسلام نشؤهم وأولادهم، وعليه درج آباؤهم وأجدادهم، لا عن بحث نظري، بل تقليد صادر عن التعثر بأذيال الشبه الصارفة عن صوب الصواب، والانخداع بالخيالات المزخرفة كلا مع السراب.
كما اتفق لطوائف من النظار في البحث عن العقائد والآراء من أهل البدع والأهواء، وإنما مصدر كفرهم سماعهم أسامي هائلة كسقراط وبقراط وأفلاطون وأرسطاطاليس وأمثالهم، وإطناب طوائف من متبعيهم وضلالهم في وصف عقولهم، وحسن أصولهم، ودقة علومهم الهندسية، والمنطقية، والطبيعية، والإلهية، واستبدادهم لفرط الذكاء والفطنة، باستخراج تلك الأمور الخفية.
وحكايتهم عنهم أنهم مع رزانة عقلهم، وغزارة فضلهم، منكرون للشرائع والنحل، وجاحدون لتفاصيل الأديان والملل، ومعتقدون أنها نواميس مؤلفة، وحيل مزخرفة.
فلما قرع ذلك سمعهم، ووافق ما حكى من عقائدهم طبعهم، تجملوا باعتقاد الكفر، تحيزاً إلى غمار الفضلاء بزعمهم، وانخراطاً في سلكهم، وترفعاً عن مساعدة الجماهير والدهماء، واستنكافاً من القناعة بأديان الآباء ظناً بأن إظهار التكايس في النزوع عن تقليد الحق بالشروع في تقليد الباطل جمال وغفلة منهم، عن أن الانتقال إلى تقليد عن تقليد خرف وخبال.
فأية رتبة في عالم الله سبحانه وتعالى أخس من رتبة من يتجمل بترك الحق، المعتقد تقليداً بالتسارع إلى قبول الباطل، تصديقاً دون أن يقبله خبراً وتحقيقاً.
فلما رأيت هذا العرق من الحماقة نابضاً على هؤلاء الأغبياء، ابتدأت لتحرير هذا الكتاب، رداً على الفلاسفة القدماء، مبيناً تهافت عقيدتهم، وتناقض كلمتهم، فيما يتعلق بالإلهيات، وكاشفاً عن غوائل مذهبهم، وعوراته التي هي على التحقيق مضاحك العقلاء، وعبرة عند الأذكياء.
أعني: ما اختصوا به عن الجماهير والدهماء، من فنون العقائد والآراء، هذا مع حكاية مذهبهم على وجهه.
ثم صدر الكتاب بمقدمات أربع:
ذكر في الأولى: أن الخوض في حكاية اختلاف الفلاسفة تطويل، فإن خبطهم طويل، ونزاعهم كثير، وأنه يقتصر على إظهار التناقض في الرأي.
مقدمهم الذي هو المعلم الأول، والفيلسوف المطلق، فإنه رتب علومهم وهذبها، وهو: أرسطاطاليس وقد رد على كل من قبله حتى على أستاذه أفلاطون فلا إيقان لمذهبهم، بل يحكمون بظن وتخمين، ويستدلون على صدق علومهم الإلهية، بظهور العلوم الحسابية، والمنطقية، متقنة البراهين، ويستدرجون ضعفاء العقول، ولو كانت علومهم الإلهية متقنة البراهين، لما اختلفوا فيها، كما لم يختلفوا في الحسابية.
ثم المترجمون لكلام أرسطو لم ينفك كلامهم عن تحريف وتبديل.
وأقومهم بالنقل من المتفلسفة الإسلامية:
أبو نصر الفارابي، وابن سينا.
وأنه يقتصر على إبطال ما اختاروه، ورأوه الصحيح من مذهب رؤسائهم.
وعلى رد مذاهبهم بحسب نقل هذين الرجلين كيلا ينتشر الكلام.
وذكر في الثانية:
أن الخلاف بينهم وبين غيرهم ثلاثة أقسام:
الأول: يرجع النزاع فيه إلى لفظ مجرد، كتسميتهم صانع العالم جوهراً مع تفسيرهم الجوهر: بأنه الموجود لا في موضوع، ولم يريدوا به الجوهر المتحيز.
قال: ولسنا نخوض في إبطال هذا، لأن معنى القيام بالنفس إذا صار متفقاً عليه، رجع الكلام في التعبير باسم الجوهر عن هذا المعنى إلى البحث عن اللغة.
وإن سوغ إطلاقه، رجع جواز إطلاقه في الشرع إلى المباحث الفقهية.
الثاني: ما لا يصدم مذهبهم فيه أصلاً من أصول الدين، وليس من ضرورة تصديق الأنبياء والرسل منازعتهم فيه، كقولهم: إن كسوف القمر، عبارة عن انمحاء ضوء القمر بتوسط الأرض بينه وبين الشمس، والأرض كرة والسماء محيطة بها من الجوانب، وإن كسوف الشمس، وقوف جرم القمر بين الناظر وبين الشمس عند اجتماعهما في العقيدتين على دقيقة واحدة.
قال: وهذا المعنى أيضاً لسنا نخوض في إبطاله إذ لا يتعلق به غرض ومن ظن أن المناظرة فيه من الدين فقد جنى على الدين، وضعف أمره، فإن هذه الأمور تقوم عليها براهين هندسية، لا تبقى معها ريبة، فمن يطلع عليها، ويتحقق أدلتها، حتى يخبر بسببها عن وقت الكسوفين، وقدرهما، ومدة بقائهما، إلى الانجلاء.
إذا قيل له: إن هذا على خلاف الشرع لم يسترب فيه، وإنما يستريب في الشرع، وضرر الشرع ممن ينصره لا بطريقه أكثر من ضرره ممن يطعن فيه بطريقة، وهو كما قيل: عدو عاقل، خير من صديق جاهل.
وليس في الشرع ما يناقض ما قالوه، ولو كان تأويله أهون من مكابرة أمور قطعية، فكم من ظواهر أولت بالأدلة القطعية التي لا تنتهي في الوضوح إلى هذا الحد، وأعظم ما يفرح به الملحدة، أن يصرح ناصر الشرع بأن هذا، وأمثاله على خلاف الشرع، فيــسهل عليه طريق إبطال الشرع.
وهذا: لأن البحث في العالم عن كونه حادثاً أو قديماً، ثم إذا ثبت حدوثه فسواء كان كرة، أو بسيطاً، أو مثمناً، وسواء كانت السماوات، وما تحتها ثلاثة عشرة طبقة، كما قالوه، أو أقل، أو أكثر، فالمقصود: كونه من فعل الله سبحانه وتعالى فقط، كيف ما كان.
الثالث: ما يتعلق النزاع فيه بأصل من أصول الدين، كالقول في حدوث العالم، وصفات الصانع، وبيان حشر الأجساد، وقد أنكروا جميع ذلك فينبغي أن يظهر فساد مذهبهم.
وذكر في الثالثة: أن مقصوده تنبيه من حسن اعتقاده في الفلاسفة، وظن أن مسالكهم نقية عن التناقض ببيان وجوه تهافتهم.
فلذلك لا يدخل في الاعتراض عليهم إلا دخول مطالب منكر، لا دخول مدع مثبت.
فيكدر عليهم ما اعتقدوه مقطوعاً بإلزامات مختلفة، وربما ألزمهم بمذاهب الفرق.
وذكر في الرابعة: أن من عظم حيلهم في الاستدراج إذا أورد عليهم إشكال قولهم: أن العلوم الإلهية غامضة، خفية، لا يتوصل إلى معرفة الجواب عن هذه الإشكالات، إلا بتقديم الرياضيات، والمنطقيات.
فيمن يقلدهم إن خطر له إشكال، يحسن الظن بهم، ويقول: إنما يعسر على درك علومهم لأني لم أحصل الرياضيات ولم أحكم المنطقيات.
قال: أما الرياضيات، فلا تعلق للإلهيات بها.
وأما الهندسيات، فلا يحتاج إليها في الإلهيات، نعم قولهم: إن المنطقيات لا بد من إحكامها فهو صحيح، ولكن المنطق ليس مخصوماً بهم، وإنما هو الأصل الذي نسميه: كتاب الجدل، وقد نسميه: مدارك العقول.
فإذا سمع المتكايس اسم المنطق، ظن أنه فن غريب، لا يعرفه المتكلمون، ولا يطلع عليه الفلاسفة.
ثم ذكر بعد المقدمات، المسائل التي أظهر تناقض مذهبهم فيها، وهي عشرون مسألة:
الأولى: في أولية العالم.
الثانية: في أبدية العالم.
الثالثة: في بيان تلبسهم في قولهم: أن الله سبحانه وتعالى صانع العالم، وأن العالم صنعه.
الرابعة: في تعجيزهم عن إثبات الصانع.
الخامسة: في تعجيزهم عن إقامة الدليل على استحالة الهين.
السادسة: في نفي الصفات.
السابعة: في قولهم: إن ذات الأول لا ينقسم بالجنس والفصل.
الثامنة: في قولهم: إن الأول موجود بسيط بلا ماهية.
التاسعة: في تعجيزهم، عن بيان إثبات أن الأول ليس بجسم.
العاشرة: في تعجيزهم، عن إقامة الدليل على أن للعالم صانعاً، وعلة.
الحادية عشرة: في تعجيزهم عن القول: بأن الأول يعلم غيره.
الثانية عشرة: في تعجيزهم عن القول: بأن الأول يعلم ذاته.
الثالثة عشرة: في إبطال قولهم: أن الأول لا يعلم الجزئيات.
الرابعة عشرة: في إبطال قولهم: أن السماء حيوان متحرك بالإرادة.
الخامسة عشرة: فيما ذكروه من العرض المحرك للسماء.
السادسة عشرة: في قولهم: أن نفوس السماوات، تعلم جميع الجزئيات الحادثة في هذا العالم.
السابعة عشرة: في قولهم: باستحالة خرق العادات.
الثامنة عشرة: في تعجيزهم عن إقامة البرهان العقلي، على أن النفس الإنساني جوهر روحاني.
التاسعة عشرة: في قولهم: باستحالة الفناء على النفوس البشرية.
العشرون: في إبطال إنكارهم البعث، وحشر الأجساد، مع التلذذ والتألم بالجنة والنار، بالآلام واللذات الجسمانية.
هذا ما ذكره من المسائل، التي تناقض فيها كلامهم، من جملة علومهم، ففصلها، وأبطل مذاهبهم فيها إلى آخر الكتاب.
وهذا معنى التهافت، لخصتها من أول كتابه، لكونها مما يجب معرفته.
وقال في آخر خاتمته: فإن قال قائل: قد فصلتم مذاهب هؤلاء، أفتقطعون القول بكفرهم؟
قلنا: بكفرهم، لا بد منه، لا بد من كفرهم، في ثلاث مسائل:
الأولى: مسألة قدم العالم، وقولهم: إن الجواهر كلها قديمة.
الثانية: قولهم: إن الله سبحانه وتعالى لا يحيط علماً بالجزئيات الحادثة من الأشخاص.
الثالثة: إنكارهم بعث الأجسام، وحشرها.
فهذه لا تلائم الإسلام بوجه، فأما ما عدا هذه الثلاث من تصرفهم في الصفات، والتوحيد، فمذهبهم قريب من مذهب المعتزلة، فهم فيها... كأهل البدع. انتهى ملخصاً.
ثم إن القاضي، أبا الوليد: محمد بن أحمد بن رشد المالكي.
المتوفى: سنة 595.
صنف تهافتا من طرف الحكماء، رداً على تهافت الغزالي، بقوله:
قال أبو حامد: (وأوله: بعد حمد الله الواجب 000 الخ).
ذكر فيه: أن ما ذكره بمعزل عن مرتبة اليقين والبرهان.
وقال في آخره: لا شك أن هذا الرجل أخطأ على الشريعة، كما أخطأ على الحكمة، ولولا ضرورة طلب الحق مع أهله، ما تكلمت في ذلك. انتهى.
ثم إن السلطان: محمد خان العثماني، الفاتح، أمر المولى مصطفى بن يوسف الشهير: بخواجه زاده البرسوي.
المتوفى: سنة 893، ثلاث وتسعين وثمانمائة.
والمولى: علاء الدين الطوسي.
المتوفى: سنة 887، سبع وثمانين وثمانمائة أن يصنفا كتاباً، للمحاكمة بين تهافت الإمام والحكماء.
فكتب المولى: خواجه زاده، في أربعة أشهر.
وكتب المولى الطوسي، في ستة أشهر.
ففضلوا كتاب المولى: خواجه زاده، على كتاب: الطوسي.
وأعطى السلطان: محمد خان لكل منهما عشرة آلاف ردهم.
وزاد لخواجه زاده بغلة نفيسة.
وكان ذلك هو السبب في ذهاب المولى: الطوسي إلى بلاد العجم.
وذكر: أن ابن المؤيد، لما وصل إلى خدمة العلامة الدواني، قال: بأي هدية جئت إلينا؟
قال: بكتاب (التهافت) لخواجه زاده، فطالعه مدة، وقال: - رضي الله تعالى - عن صاحبه، خلصني عن المشقة حيث صنفه، ولو صنفته لبلغ هذه الغاية فحسب وعنك أيضاً حيث أوصلته إلينا، ولو لم يصل إلينا لعزمت على الشروع.
وأول (تهافت) لخواجه زاده: (توجهنا إلى جنابك 000 الخ).
ذكر: أنهم أخطأوا في علومهم الطبيعية يسيراً، والإلهية كثيراً، فأراد أن يحكي ما أورد الإمام من قواعدهم الطبيعية، والإلهية مع بعض آخر، مما لم يورده، بأدلتها المعول عليها عندهم على وجهها، ثم أبطلها.
وهي مشتملة على اثنين وعشرين فصلاً، فزاد فصلين على مباحث الأصل.
وأول تهافت المولى الطوسي: (سبحانك اللهم يا منفرداً بالأزلية، والقدم 000 الخ).
وهو رتب على عشرين مبحثاً، مقتصراً على الأصل، وسماه الذخيرة، وعليه، وعلى تهافت الخواجه زاده، تعليقة للمولى شمس الدين: أحمد بن سليمان بن كمال باشا، المتوفى: سنة 94، أربعين وتسعمائة.

سر

1 سَرَّهُ, accord. to the TA, has two contr. significations: for it is there stated that “ one says سَرَرْتُهُ meaning كَتَمْتُهُ and سَرَرْتُهُ meaning أَعْلَنْتُهُ: ” and it is added that “ it will occur again soon: ” but it does not again occur in that work, nor have I found it in any other lexicon: I therefore think that it is a mistranscription, for أَسْرَرْتُهُ, first Pers\. of أَسَرَّهُ, q. v.]

A2: سَرَّهُ, (S, O, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (MS,) inf. n. مَسَرَّةٌ (S, O, K) and سُرُورٌ [which latter, from the explanations of it which will be found below, seems to be generally, if not only, as an inf. n., that of سُرَّ,] and سُرٌّ [which is also syn. with سُرُورٌ in the senses assigned to the latter below] and سُرَّى and تَسِرَّةٌ [which last may be also an inf. n. of ↓ سرّرهُ expl. by Freytag as syn. with سَرَّهُ in the sense here following, but without an indication of any authority], (O, K,) He, or it, rejoiced him; gladdened him; or made him happy; syn. أَفْرَحَهُ: (Msb, K:) [or made him to experience a pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there was no external sign: see سُرُورٌ, below.] And سُرَّ, [inf. n. سُرُورٌ, (see above,)] He rejoiced; was joyful, or glad; or was happy: (S, * A, * K:) [or he experienced a pleasure, or delight, and dilatation of the heart, of which there was no external sign; accord. to an explanation of سُرُورٌ:] you say, سُرَّ بِهِ and ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّ [He rejoiced, was joyful or glad, or was happy, by reason of him, or it]. (A.) b2: سَرَّهُ, (K,) aor. as above, (TA,) also signifies He saluted him with [the offering of what are termed] المَسَرَّة, i. e. the extremities of sweet-smelling plants. (K.) A3: Also سَرَّهُ, (S, M,) aor. as above, inf. n. سَرٌّ, (S,) or سِرٌّ, (so in a copy of the M,) He cut his (a child's) سِرَر, or سُرّ, i. e. navel-string. (S, M.) and سُرَّ He (a child) had his navel-string cut. (K.) b2: And سَرَّهُ, aor. as above, He pierced him, or thrust him, [with a spear or the like,] in his سُرَّة [or navel]: a poet says, وَإِنْ أَدْبَرُوا فَهُمُ مَنْ يُسَبْ نَسُرُّهُمُ إِنْ هُمُ أَقْبَلُوا [We pierce them in the navel if they advance; and if they retreat, they are those who are pierced in the podex; يُسَبْ being for يُسَبُّ]. (S.) A4: سَرَّ الزَّنْدَ, aor. as above, inf. n. سَرٌّ, He put a piece of wood, (M, K,) or a little piece of wood, (S,) in the interior of the زند [or piece of stick, or wood, for producing fire], (M,) or in its extremity, (S, K,) inserting it in its interior, (S,) in order that he might produce fire with it. (S, M, K.) One says, سُرَّ زَنْدَكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَسَرُّ Fill up the interior of thy زند, that it may produce fire, (AHn, M,) for it is [worn] hollow. (S, K.) A5: سَرَّ, [sec. Pers\. سَرِرْتَ,] aor. ـَ (IAar, Sgh, L, K,) inf. n. سَرَرٌ, remarked upon by MF as extr., [though it is agreeable with a general rule,] said of a man, (TA,) He had a complaint of the سُرَّة [or navel]. (IAar, Sgh, L, K.) b2: Also, aor. and inf. n. as in the next preceding case, said of a camel, He had the pain, or disorder, termed سَرَرٌ [q. v.]. (IAar, M.) 2 سَرَّّ see 1, second sentence.

A2: سَرَّرْتُهُ in the phrase سَرَّرْتُهُ سُرِّيَّةً I gave him, or caused him to take, a concubine slave, doubly trans., is [said to be] changed to سَرَّيْتُهُ for alleviation of the pronunciation. (Msb.) A3: سرّرهُ, inf. n. تَسْرِيرٌ, said of water, It reached his سُرَّة [or navel]. (K.) 3 سارّهُ, inf. n. مُسَارَّةٌ and سِرَارٌ, (S, M,) [He spoke, or discoursed, secretly to him or with him;] he acquainted him with a secret. (M.) You say, سارّهُ فِى أُذُنِهِ He spoke secretly to him in his ear. (S, * K, * TK.) And كَانَ يُحَدِّثُهُ كَأَخِى السِّرَارِ occurs in a trad., meaning He (Mohammad) used to talk to him ('Omar) in a low voice, like him who is telling a secret. (TA.) b2: بَيْعُ السِّرَارِ is The selling in which one says, “I will put forth my hand and thou shalt put forth thy hand, and if I produce my signet-ring before thee, it is a sale for such a price; and if thou produce thy signet-ring before me, for such a price: ” if they produce together, or do not both produce, they do thus again. (Mgh.) 4 اسرّهُ, (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِسْرَارٌ; (Msb;) [and accord. to the TA سَرَّهُ; but see the first sentence of this art.;] He concealed it; suppressed it; kept it secret; (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) namely, a story, or the like: (A, Mgh, Msb:) and, contr., he manifested it; revealed it; published it; made it known. (S, M, Msb, K.) Both of these significations have been assigned to the verb in the phrase وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ, in the Kur [x. 55 and xxxiv. 32]: (S:) some say, that the meaning is They will manifest repentance: Th says, they will conceal it from their chiefs: the former [says ISd] is the more correct: (M:) the former meaning is also given on the authority of AO; but Sh says, I have not heard it on the authority of any other; and Az says that the lexicologists most strongly disapprove of the saying of AO; and it is said that the meaning is, they, the chiefs of the polytheists, will conceal repentance from the lower class of their people, whom they shall have caused to err; and in like manner say Zj and the [other] expositors. (TA.) In like manner also the two contr. significations are assigned to the verb in the saying of Imra-el- Keys, [in his Mo'allakah,] لَوْ يُسِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى, which As used to quote with ش, thus, لَوْ يُشِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى, meaning that they might publish, or make known, my slaughter. (S.) You say also, أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِ حَدِيثًا He revealed unto him a story (S, K) secretly. (TA.) An ex. occurs in the Kur lxvi. 3. (TA.) And أَسْرَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ المَوَدَّةَ, and بِالمَوَدَّةِ, I showed, or manifested, to him love, or affection. (S.) It is said in the Kur [lx. 1], تُسِرُّونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ, meaning, Ye reveal to them the news of the Prophet by reason of the love that is between you and them; the objective complement of the verb being suppressed: or المودّة may be an objective complement, the ب being a redundant corroborative, as in أَخَذَ الخِطَامَ and أَخَذَ بِهِ: (Msb:) and this interpretation is correct; for إِسْرَارٌ to a person necessarily implies revealing a secret to him and at the same time concealing it from another. (B.) b2: وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَاعَةً, in the Kur xii. 19, signifies And they concealed, or kept secret, his case, making him as an article of merchandise: (Jel:) or they conjectured in their minds that they should obtain, by selling him, merchandise. (TA.) [See also an ex. voce اِرْتَغَى, in art. رغو.] b3: اسرّ الفَاتِحَةَ, and بِالفَاتِحَةِ, He recited the Fátihah [or First Chapter of the Kur-án] secretly, or inaudibly: (Msb:) or the latter form of expression is a mistake. (Mgh.) b4: أَسْرَرْتُهُ also signifies نَسَبْتُهُ إِلَى السِّرِّ [which may mean either I attributed it to secrecy, or, like many phrases of this kind, by inversion, I attributed to him secrecy, or mystery]. (Msb.) 5 تسرّر and تسرّى, (M, K,) and ↓ استسرّ, (K,) He took to himself a concubine-slave. (M, * K, * TA.) And تَسَرَّرْتُ جَارِيَةً, and تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (S,) and ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (TA,) I took to myself a girl, or young woman, as a concubine-slave. (S, * TA.) تَسَرَّرْتُهَا is [said to be] thus changed to تَسَرَّيْتُهَا, (T, S, Msb,) for alleviation of the pronunciation, (Msb,) on account of the three ر s following one another, (T,) being like تَظَنَّنْتُ and تَظَنَّيْتُ. (T, * S.) Lth says that تسرّيت is a mistake; but Az says that it is correct. (TA.) ↓ اِسْتَسَرَّنِى

occurs in a trad. as signifying He took me to himself as a concubine-slave; but by rule one should say تَسَرَّرَنِى, or تَسَرَّانِى: as to ↓ استسرّنى, it [more properly] signifies “ He revealed to me his secret. ” (TA.) b2: تَسَرَّرَ فُلَانٌ بِنْتَ فُلَانٍ [as though signifying Such a one took to himself the daughter of such a one as a concubine-slave] is said when a man of low birth takes as his wife a woman or girl of high birth because of the abundance of his property and the littleness of hers. (M.) 6 تسارّوا They spoke, or discoursed, secretly together; acquainted one another with secrets. (S, K.) [See also 3.]

A2: تسارّإِلَى ذٰلِكَ (tropical:) He experienced pleasure, or delight, at that: as, for instance, at his scratching a part of his body, or pressing, or kneading, it; and at a thing disliked by another person. (A, TA.) [But I am in some doubt as to the correctness of this, and incline to think that it is a mistake for ↓ استسرّ.]10 استسرّ He, or it, became concealed; or he, or it, concealed himself or itself: (K:) it (a thing, or an affair,) became hidden or concealed or secret: (A, Msb:) it (the moon) became concealed (S, M, A, TA) by the light of the sun, (TA,) [i. e. by its proximity to the sun,] for one night, or for two nights. (AO, S.) A2: استسرّهُ He took extraordinary pains in concealing it, or keeping it secret. (TA.) b2: See also 5, in four places. b3: اِسْتَسَرَّنِى He revealed to me his secret. (TA.) A3: See also 1; and see 6, last sentence.

سَرٌّ A man who rejoices, or gladdens, another; or makes him happy; (S, K;) [and so ↓ سَارٌّ:] fem. سَرَّةٌ; with which ↓ سَارَّةٌ is syn. (Lh, M, K.) You say رَجُلٌ بَرٌّ سَرٌّ A man who treats with goodness and affection and gentleness, and rejoices &c., (S, K, TA,) his brethren: (TA:) pl. بَرُّونَ سَرُّونَ. (S, K.) سُرٌّ: see سُرُورٌ: A2: and سِرٌّ, last sentence but one.

A3: It is also a contraction of سُرُرٌ, pl. of سَرِيرٌ. (Sb, M.) A4: Also, and ↓ سِرَرٌ, (S, M, K,) and ↓ سَرَرٌ, (S, K, in the CK سُرَر,) The navel-string of a child; i. e. the thing that the midwife cuts off from the navel (سُرَّة) of a child; (S, K;) the thing that hangs from the navel (سُرَّة) of a newborn child, and that is cut off: or ↓ سِرَرٌ signifies the part that is cut off thereof, and that goes away: (M:) pl.
