(S.) A poet says, فَسَقَى دِيَارَكَ غَيْرَ مُفْسِدِهَا صَوْبُ الرَّبِيعِ وَدِيمَةٌ تَهْمِى

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. (MF, TA.) And one says of a calamity (شِدَّة), on the occasion of its befalling, صَابَتْ بِقُرٍّ, meaning It became [or fell] in its قَرَار [or settled or fixed place, or in the place where it should remain]. (S, TA.

(S, TA.) b3: and تَصْوِيبٌ is the contr. of تَصْعِيدٌ [generally in a trans. sense (though also in an intrans. sense as will be seen below); i. e. it signifies The making to descend]. (M, TA.) One says, صوّب رَأْسَهُ He lowered, or depressed, his head. (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K.) And صَوَّبَ اللّٰهُ رَأْسَهُ (tropical:) [May God degrade him; lit.] may God lower, or depress, his head. (TA.) It is said in a trad., مَنْ قَطَعَ سِدْرَةً صَوَّبَ اللّٰهُ رَأْسَهُ فِى النَّارِ, which, accord. to Aboo-Dáwood Es-Sijistánee, is abridged, and means, Whoso cuts down, or lops, a سدرة [which is a species of lote-tree], in a desert, by the shade whereof the traveller shelters himself, without just cause, God will, or may God, lower his head [in the fire of Hell]. (L, TA.) And one says, صوّب يَدَهُ He lowered, or depressed, his hand, or arm. (L, TA.) And صوّب الإِنَآءَ He inclined the vessel (Mgh, Msb) downwards, in order that what was in it might run [out]: (Mgh:) or he lowered, or depressed, the vessel; and in like manner, رَأْسَ الخَشَبَةِ [the head of the piece of wood].

(A, TA.) A3: [تَصْوِيبٌ is also the contr. of تَصْعِيدٌ in an intrans. sense as well as in the trans. sense mentioned above:] one says, طَالَ فِى

الأَرْضِ تَصْوِيبِى وَتَصْعِيدِى [Long have continued my descending, or going down, and my ascending, or going up, in the land]. (A in art. صعد.) 4 اصاب, (M, TA,) inf. n. إِصَابَةٌ, (M, K, TA,) He descended, or went down, into a lower land, or country; contr. of أَصْعَدَ. (M, K, * TA.

(TA.) And اصاب alone is said of an archer or the like [as meaning He hit the object of his aim]: (Msb:) one says, رَمَى فَأَصَابَ [He shot, or cast, and hit the object of his aim]. (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.

In the following verse, cited by IAar, فَكَيْفَ تُرَجِّى العاذِلَاتُ تَجَلُّدِى حَمِيمُهَا ↓ وَصَبْرِى إِذَا مَا النَّفْسُ صِيبَ he explains صِيبَ as being like قُصِدَ, and says that it may be of the dial. of him who says صَابَ السَّهْمُ; but [ISd remarks,] I know not how this is, for صَابَ السَّهْمُ is not trans.; [though, as shown above, he has mentioned it as being trans.;] and in my opinion, [he says,] صيب here is from the phrase صَابَتِ السَّمَآءُ الأَرْضَ [expl. above; the meaning of the verse being, But how should the censuring women hope for my constraining myself to behave with hardiness, and for my being patient, when the beloved of the soul has been smitten by death, or by the decree of death; for ISd adds,] كَأَنَّ المَنِيَّةَ صَابَتِ الحَمِيمَ فَأَصَابَتْهُ بِصَوْبِهَا. (M, TA. *) b4: [اصاب is also used in many phrases in which its agent is likened to an archer.] One says, اصاب الصَّوَابَ (tropical:) [He hit the right thing or point, or the object, or aim, of his words or of his actions]: (A:) and اصاب السَّدَادَ [which means the same]. (S in art. سد.) and اصاب alone [means thus likewise; or] (assumed tropical:) he said, or did, that which was right. (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. (A.) and اصاب بِغْيَتَهُ (assumed tropical:) He attained, or obtained, the thing that he sought, or wanted: whence the saying, اصاب مِنْ زَوْجَتِهِ [and so app. أَصَابَهَا (see سَفَقَ)] (assumed tropical:) He obtained his desired enjoyment of his wife: (Msb:) اصاب مِنِّى occurs in a trad., [as a euphemism,] said by the wife of Handhaleh, meaning (assumed tropical:) He compressed me: (Mgh:) and it is said in a trad., كَانَ يُصِيبُ مِنْ رَأْسِ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He used to kiss [the head of some one or more of his wives when he was fasting]. (TA: and the like is said in the Mgh.) And اصاب مِنَ المَالِ وَغَيْرِهِ (assumed tropical:) He took, or took with his hand, of the property and other things. (TA.)

(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. (TA.) and اصاب اللّٰهُ بِكَ خَيْرًا means أَرَادَهُ (tropical:) [i. e. May God intend thee good]. (A.) And اصاب alone (assumed tropical:) He desired, or intended, or meant, that which was right. (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. (TA. [See also another ex. voce أَوْبٌ.]) b2: And A place, or point, of tendency or direction or bearing, syn. جِهَةٌ, (Msb, TA,) of a thing; (Msb;) and نَاحِيَةٌ [which means the same; and also a side; or a lateral, or an adjacent, part or tract of a thing; and in this sense صَوْبٌ is used in the present day]; and جَانِبٌ [which generally has the latter of these meanings]. (TA.) b3: See also صَوَابٌ, in three places.

[I went in to such a one, and lo, the deenárs were] a heap poured out without measure before him: (S, M, * A: *) or, as some relate the saying, الدِّينَارُ, which is thus used as a gen. n. (M.) صَيْبَانٌ: see صَوْبٌ.

صَوَابٌ (assumed tropical:) A thing that is right, or what is said and of what is done; [like سَدَادٌ;] (Msb;) contr. of خَطَأٌ; (S, M, Msb, K;) as also ↓ صَوْبٌ. (S, Msb, K.) One says, ↓ دَعْنِى وَعَلَىَّ خَطَئِى وَصَوْبِى i. e. صَوَابِى [meaning (assumed tropical:) Leave thou me, and on me be the consequence of my wrong saying or deed, and my right]. (S.) [And hence the phrase, frequent in some of the lexicons &c., الصَّوَابُ كَذَا meaning (assumed tropical:) The right, or correct, word or wording or reading is thus: and صَوَابُهُ كَذَا (assumed tropical:) The right, or correct, writing or wording or reading of it is thus.] b2: And one says also ↓ قَوْلٌ صَوْبٌ and صَوَابٌ [meaning (assumed tropical:) A right, or correct, saying: thus using each as an epithet].

مُصَابَاتِهِمْ is a saying mentioned by Ibn-Buzurj, as meaning [I left the people disposed, or placed,] according to their classes, or ranks. (TA.) مَصُوبَةٌ: see the next paragraph.

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.)

ذيل

1 ذَالَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. ذَيْلٌ, It (a garment) was long, so that it touched the ground. (Msb.) b2: He, or it, had a ذَيْل; [app. said of a horse &c., as meaning he had a long tail, or a pendent portion to his tail; and probably of a garment, as meaning it had a skirt, or lower extremity, reaching nearly, or quite, to the ground, or dragged upon the ground, when made to hang down; and perhaps of a man, as meaning he had a ذيل to his garment;] as also ↓ أَذْيَلَ. (M, K.) b3: And, said of a man, (M, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (M, Msb,) and so the inf. n., (M,) He walked with an elegant and a proud and self-conceited gait, dragging his ذَيْل [or skirt, or the lower extremity of his garment]; (M, K;) and in like manner ذَالَتْ is said of a she-camel: (M:) or he dragged his أَذْيَال [or skirts, or the lower extremities of his garment or garments], by reason of pride and self-conceit: (Msb:) or ذَالَتْ, (T, S,) فِى مِشْيَتِهَا, said of a girl, or young woman, (T,) or of a woman, (S,) aor. ـِ (T, S,) inf. n. as above, (T,) she dragged her أَذْيَال, (T,) or her ذَيْل, (S,) upon the ground, walking with an elegant and a proud and self-conceited gait.

(T, TA.) b2: [Hence, ذَيَّلْتُ كِتَابَهُ (assumed tropical:) I added an appendix to his writing, or book; like ذَنَّبْتُهُ. And hence, the inf. n. تَذْيِيلٌ is used to signify (assumed tropical:) An appendix; like تَذْنِيبٌ; as also ↓ ذَيْلٌ.]

A2: ذَيَّلْتُ ذَالًا [I wrote a ذ]. (IB, TA on the letter ا.) [See also 2 in art. ذول.]4 أَذْيَلَ: see 1, second sentence.

(T, S, K. *) b3: اذالهُ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِذَالَةٌ, (S, * M, Msb,) He lowered him; abased him; rendered him vile, mean, contemptible, or ignominious; or held him in low, or mean, estimation; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) and did not tend him, or take care of him, well; (M, K;) namely, his horse, (T, S, M,) and his young man, or slave; (S;) or it is said of the owner of a thing. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., (S, M,) of the Prophet, (M,) نَهَى عَنْ إِذَالَةِ الخَيْلِ, (S, M,) i. e. [He forbade] the using of horses for mean work, and burdens. (S, TA.) b4: and أَذْلْتُهَا I rendered her lean; or emaciated her; namely, a woman, and a camel. (TA.) 5 تذيّلت الدَّابَّةُ The beast moved about its tail. (M.) b2: And hence, (M,) تذيّل He (a man, TA) walked with an elegant and a proud and self-conceited gait, (M, K,) [app., dragging his ذَيْل (or skirt), like ذَالَ.] b3: [It occurs in the M and L, in art. رأد: said of a branch, or twig, app. as meaning It inclined limberly from side to side: but in the K, I there find in its place تذبّل.] b4: See also 1.6 تَذَاْيَلَ see 1, last sentence but one.

ذَيْلٌ The latter, or kinder, or the last, or kindmost, part of anything. (M, K.) Accord. to MF, this is the proper signification, and the other significations here following are tropical. (TA.) [But in my opinion, the word in each of the next two senses, or at least in the former of them; if not strictly proper, is what is termed حَقِيقَةٌ عُرْفِيَّةٌ, i. e. a word so much used in a tropical sense as to be, in that sense, conventionally regarded as proper.] b2: [A skirt, or lower extremity, of a garment, reaching nearly, or quite, to the ground, or that is dragged upon the ground, when made to hang down:] the extremity, of a garment, that is next the ground, and so if not touching it [as well as if touching it]; an inf. n. used in this sense: (Msb:) or the part of a waist-wrapper (إِزَار), and of a garment [of any kind], that is dragged [upon the ground], (M, K,) when it is made to hang down: (M:) or the part, of an إِزَار, and of a [garment of the kind called] رِدَآء, that is made to hang down, and touches the ground: and the part, of any kind of garment worn by a woman, that the wearer drags upon the ground behind her: (Lth, T:) or the parts, all round, of a woman's garment, that fall upon the ground: and the portion that is made to hang down, of a woman's shift and of her قِنَاع [or head-covering]: you do not [properly] say of a man that he has a ذَيْل [but only when you liken the lower part of his garment to the similar part of a woman's garment]: a man's having a long garment, such as a shirt and a جُبَّة, [or his dragging the skirt thereof,] is termed إِرْفَالٌ: (Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, T:) the pl. of ذَيْلٌ (in this sense, T, Msb, as relating to a shirt [&c.], S, and in all its senses, T, M) is أَذْيَالٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and أَذْيُلٌ (El-Hejeree, M, K) [both pls. of pauc.] and ذُيُولٌ (T, S, M, Msb, K) which is a pl. of mult. (M.) Hence طُولُ الذَّيْلِ is a metonymical expression meaning (tropical:) Richness, or competency; because long أَذْيَال generally pertain to the rich and the prodigal and the proud and self-conceited: (Er-Rázee, Har p. 493:) and you say, طَالَ ذَيْلُ فُلَانٍ, meaning (tropical:) The state, or condition, of such a one became good, and his wealth became abundant: and هُوَ طَوِيلُ الذَّيْلِ, meaning (tropical:) He is rich. (Har p. 319.) b3: Of a horse (T, K) &c., (K,) [i. e.] of a horse and a camel and the like, (M,) The tail: (T, M, K:) or the tail when long: (TA:) or the part, of the tail, that is made to hang down. (M, K.) b4: [(assumed tropical:) Of a cloud, The skirt; or lower, pendent, part: used in this sense in the K voce هَيْدَبٌ.] b5: ذَيْلُ الرِّيحِ (assumed tropical:) What is dragged along, (T, S, O,) or drawn together, (M,) by the wind, upon the ground, (T, S, O, M,) of dust (T, M, O) and rubbish: (T, O:) or what the wind leaves upon the sand, (M, K,) in the form of a rope, (M,) resembling the track of a ذَيْل [or skirt] dragged along: (M, K:) or, as some say, أَذْيَالُالرِّيحِ means (assumed tropical:) the after-parts of the wind, with which it sweeps what is light to it. (M.) b6: ذَيْلُ جَبَلٍ (assumed tropical:) The foot, bottom, base, or lowest part, of a mountain. (A and TA voce جَرٌّ.) b7: أَذْيَالُ النَّاسِ (assumed tropical:) The hindmost of the people. (K.) You say, جَآءَ أَذْيَالٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ (assumed tropical:) Some few of the hindmost of the people came. (S, Sgh.) b8: See also 2.

A2: And see ذَائِلٌ.

ذَيَّالٌ: see ذَائِلٌ, in three places. b2: Also That behaves proudly, conceitedly, or vainly, and walks with an elegant and a proud and self-conceited gait. (TA.) Applied to a horse, That carries himself in an elegant and a proud and self-conceited manner, in his step, and in curvetting, or raising his fore legs together and putting them down together, and kneading with his hind legs, or in prancing, as though he dragged along the ذَيْل [or pendent portion] of his tail. (M.) ذَائِلٌ, applied to a horse, Having a ذَيْل, (T, K,) i. e. tail: (T:) and ↓ ذَيَّالٌ having a long ذَيْل: (T, K:) or the former word has the latter signification; (IKt, T, M;) it means having a long tail: (S:) and ↓ the latter word, tall, and having a long ذَيْل, (M, K,) and that carries himself in an elegant and a proud and self-conceited manner, in his step; (K;) and is applied in the same sense to a wild bull: (M:) or the former word signifies short, and having a long tail; and its fem. is with ة: (T:) or when a horse is of this description, they say الذَّنَبِ ↓ ذَيَّالُ, mentioning the ذَنَب. (T, S.) b2: Also, applied to a دِرْع, (S, M, K,) [i. e. a coat of mail, as is shown in the S and TA,] Long (S, M, K) in the ذَيْل [or shirt]; (S;) and so ذَائِلَةٌ and ↓ مُذَالَةٌ. (M, K. [In the CK, the last word is erroneously written مَذَالَةٌ.]) b3: And حَلْقَةٌ ذَائِلَةٌ and ↓ مُذَالَةٌ A ring [app. of a coat of mail] that is slender (M, K *) and elongated. (M.) A2: ذَائِلٌ ↓ ذَيْلٌ [an expression like ذُلٌّ ذَلِيلٌ, the former word an inf. n.,] means [Exceeding] lowness, baseness, vileness, meanness, contemptibleness, or ignominiousness. (S.) مُذَالٌ; fem. with ة: see the latter in the next preceding paragraph, in two places. b2: The fem. also means (assumed tropical:) A female slave: (T, S, M:) because she is held in low, or mean, estimation, while she carries herself in an elegant and a proud and selfconceited manner: so in the prov., أَخِيلُ مِنْ مُذَالَةٍ

[More proud and self-conceited than a female slave]. (S, K.) مُذْيِلٌ [so in my MS. copy of the K, as in the M, but in other copies of the K مُذَيَّلٌ,] and ↓ مُتَذَيِّلٌ [in the CK مُتَذَيَّلٌ] i. q. مُتَبَذِّلٌ [One who performs his own work; or who is careless of himself or his honour or reputation]. (M, K.) مُذَيَّلٌ A garment, (T,) of the kind called مُلَآء, (T, S,) or رِدَآء, (K,) Long (T, S, K) in the ذَيْل [or skirt]. (S, K.) So in a verse of Imra-el- Keys, of which the latter hemistich is cited voce دُوَارٌ. (T, TA.) أَرْضٌ مُتَذَيَّلَةٌ A land upon which has fallen a weak and small quantity (لَطْخٌ ضَعِيفٌ) of rain. (Sgh, K.) مُتَذَيِّلٌ: see مُذِيلٌ.

(Lth, K.) The doing this was forbidden by Mohammad, because game cannot be taken thereby, nor an enemy defeated, but a tooth may be broken, and an eye put out. (TA.) حَصَى الخَذْفِ [properly] Pebbles that are thrown [in the manner described above], (Msb,) is used as meaning (tropical:) small pebbles.

1 خَطِفَهُ, aor. ـَ (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. خَطْفٌ; (S, TA;) this is the approved form of the verb; (T, S;) and خَطَفَهُ, aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. as above; (Msb;) a form of the verb mentioned by Akh, (S,) but this is rare, (S, K,) or (K) bad, (S, K,) scarcely, or not at all, known; (S;) and ↓ اختطفهُ, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) and ↓ تخطّفهُ; (S Msb, TA;) He seized it; or took it, or carried it off, by force: (S, K:) or he did so quickly; snatched it away: (Mgh, Msb, TA:) and ↓ خطّف has been said to imply repetition of the action [unless it be a variation of اختطف as in a case mentioned below]; but this is strange, and not known on any other authority than that of the “ Akáneem et-Taaleem ” by El-Khuweiyee, a disciple of El-Fakhr Er-Rázee. (MF, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xxix. 67], وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ↓ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ CCC [And men are carried off by force from around them]. (TA.) b2: [And hence,] هٰذَا سَيْفٌ يَخْطَفُ الرَّأْسَ (tropical:) [This is a sword that will strike off the head].

(M and K in art. ملس.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 19], يَكَادُ البَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ (tropical:) [The lightning almost taketh away their sight, lit. sights]: (TA:) Yoo read يَخْطِفُ ابصارهم; (S, TA;) and so did Aboo-Rejà and Mujáhid: and some read ↓يِخِطِّفُ, and ↓يَخَطِّفُ, originally يَخْتَطِفُ, accord. to the opinion of the Basrees, disputed by Fr, but confirmed by Zj.

(Sb, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xxxvii. 10], ↓إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الخَطْفَةَ (tropical:) Except him who steals the [opportunity of] hearing: (TA:) or who snatches unawares and by stealth, (Bd,) or hears and snatches, (Jel,) the speech of the angels: (Bd, Jel:) EL-Hasan read ↓ الّا من خَطَّفَ الخطفة, originally اخْتَطَفَ: (S, TA:) and another reading, ascribed to him and others, is ↓خِطِّفَ; but this is very weak. (TA.) b5: خَطِفَ, aor. ـَ and خَطَفَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. خَطَفَانٌ; (K;) thus in all the copies of the K, but correctly خَطْفٌ, as in the L; (TA;) said of a camel, (assumed tropical:) He went along quickly.

And He captured, or caught, the animal at which he shot or cast; expl. by إِذَا كَانَ يَصِيدُهَا [perhaps a mistranscription for يُصِيبُهَا, and, if so, meaning he hit]. (JK.) And اخطف said of an arrow, (assumed tropical:) [It missed: or it fell upon the ground, and then glided along upon the ground to the butt, or object of aim: (see خَاطِفٌ:) and] it went straight. (TA.) b5: اخطف said of a man, (assumed tropical:) He became affected with a slight sickness, and then speedily recovered. (TA.) b6: أِخْطَافُ الحَشَا i. q. اِنْطِوَآؤُهُ [meaning (assumed tropical:) The state of being lean, or lank, in the belly: see مُخْطَفٌ]. (S, TA.) الأِخْطَافُ in horses is a fault: it is (assumed tropical:) The contr. of الاِنْتِفَاخُ: AHeyth says that it is, in horses, (assumed tropical:) smallness of the جَوْف [here meaning the belly, or abdomen]. (TA.) 5 تَخَطَّفَ see 1, in two places.6 تخاطفوا الكُرَةَ بَيْنَهُمْ [They contended together in snatching away the ball] with the goffsticks. (K * and TA in art. جحف.) 8 اختطف; and its variations خَطَّفَ and خِطِّفَ; and يِخِطِّفُ and يَخِطِّفُ, variations of its aor.: see 1, in seven places. b2: كَأَنَّهُ يَخْتَطِفُ فِى

(TA.) خَطْفَةٌ A single act of seizing; or, of taking, or carrying off, by force: (TA:) or, of doing so quickly; of snatching away. (Mgh, Msb, TA.) Hence, [in a trad.,] accord. to one reading, نَهَى عَنْ كُلِّ ذِى خَطْفَةٍ, meaning He prohibited the prey of whatever snatches away the prey, and goes away with it, not withholding it for its owner: or, as some say, what snatches away with its talon, or claw: but the reading commonly known is, نَهَى عَنِ الخَطْفَةِ: (Mgh:) and الخَطْفَةُ signifies what the wolf, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) or the like, (Msb,) snatches away, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) of the limbs, or members, of a living sheep or goat, (Mgh, TA,) or of a living animal; (Msb;) or what the dog snatches away from the limbs, or members, of the animal of the chase, of flesh &c., while the animal is alive: (Mgh, TA:) or the limb, or member, which the beast or bird of prey seizes, or carries off by force, or which a man cuts off, from the beast that is alive: (K, TA:) for whatever is separated from the living animal, (Mgh, TA,) of flesh or fat, (TA,) is carrion, (Mgh, TA,) unlawful to be eaten: the prohibition originated from the Prophet's finding, when he came to El-Medeeneh, that the people loved and ate the humps of camels and the tails of sheep: (TA:) the reading الخَطَفَة, of the measure فَعَلَة, with fet-h to the medial radical letter, as pl. of خَاطِفٌ, is a mistake. (Mgh.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A single suck of a small quantity of milk quickly taken by a child from the breast. (TA.) b3: For its meaning in the Kur xxxvii. 10, see 1. b4: See also خُطْفٌ.
