ذا

ذَا is said by Aboo-'Alee to be originally ذَىْ; the ى, though quiescent, being changed into ا: (M:) or it is originally ذَيَى or ذَوَى; the final radical letter being elided: some say that the original medial radical letter is ى because it has been heard to be pronounced with imáleh [and so it is now pronounced in Egypt]; but others say that it is و, and this is the more agreeable with analogy. (Msb.) It is a noun of indication, [properly meaning This, but sometimes, when repeated, better rendered that,] relating to an object of the masc. gender, (S, M, K,) such as is near: (I'Ak p. 36:) or it relates to what is distant [accord. to some, and therefore should always be rendered that]; and هٰذَا, [which see in what follows,] to what is near: (K in art. هَا: [but the former is generally held to relate to what is near, like the latter:]) or it is a noun denoting anything indicated that is seen by the speaker and the person addressed: the noun in it is ذَ, or ذ alone: and it is a noun of which the signification is vague and unknown until it is explained by what follows it, as when you say ذَا الرَّجُلُ [This man], and ذَا الفَرَسَ [This horse]: and the nom. and accus. and gen. are all alike: (T:) the fem. is ذِى (T, S, M, K, but omitted in the CK) and ذِهْ, (S, M, K, but omitted in the CK,) the latter used in the case of a pause, (S,) with a quiescent ه, which is a substitute for the ى, not a sign of the fem. gender, (S, M,) as it is in طَلْحَهْ and حَمْزَهْ, in which it is changed into ة when followed by a conjunctive alif, for in this case the ه in ذِه remains unchanged [but is meksoorah, as it is also in other cases of connexion with a following word]; and one says also ذهِى; (M;) and تَا and تِهْ: (S and K &c. in art. تا:) for the dual you say ذَانِ and تَانِ; (M;) ذَانِ is the dual form of ذَا (T, S) [and تَانِ is that of تَا used in the place of ذِى]; i. e., you indicate the masc. dual by ذَانِ in the nom. case, and ذَيْنِ in the accus. and gen.; and the fem. dual you indicate by تَانِ in the nom. case, and تَيْنِ in the accus. and gen.: (I'Ak p. 36:) the pl. is أُلَآءِ [or أُلَآءِ] (T, S, and I'Ak ib.) in the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, (I'Ak,) and أُولَى [or أُلَى] (T, I'Ak) in the dial. of Temeem; each both masc. and fem. (I'Ak ib. [See art. الى.]) You say, ذَا أَخُوكَ [This is thy brother]: and ذِىأُخْتُكَ [This is thy sister]: (T:) and لَاآتِيكَ فِى ذِى السَّنَةِ [I will not come to thee in this year]; like as you say فى هٰذِهِ السَّنَةِ and فى هٰذِى السَّنَةِ; not فى ذَا السَّنَةِ, because ذا is always masc. (As, T.) And you say, ذَانِ أَخَوَاكَ [These two are thy two brothers]: and تَانِ أُخْتَاكَ [These two are thy two sisters]. (T.) and أُولَآءِ إِخْوَتُكَ [These are thy brothers]: and أُولَآءِ

أَخَوَاتُكَ [These are thy sisters]: thus making no difference between the masc. and the fem. in the pl. (T.) b2: The هَا that is used to give notice, to a person addressed, of something about to be said to him, is prefixed to ذَا [and to ذِى &c.], (T, S, M, K,) and is a particle without any meaning but inception: (T:) thus you say هٰذَا, (T, S, M,) and some say هٰذَاا, adding another ا; (Ks, T;) fem.

هٰذِى, (T, S, M,) and [more commonly] هٰذِهْ in the case of a pause, (M,) and هٰذِهِ in other cases, (T, S,) and هَاتَا, and some say هٰذَاتِ, but this is unusual and disapproved: (T:) dual هٰذَانِ for the masc., and هَاتَانِ for the fem.; (T;) said by IJ to be not properly duals, but nouns formed to denote duals; (M;) and many of the Arabs say هٰذَانِّ; (T;) some, also, make هٰذَانِ indecl., like the sing. ذَا, reading [in the Kur xx. 66] إِنَّ هٰذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ [Verily these two are enchanters], and it has been said that this is of the dial. of Belhárith [or Benu-l-Hárith] Ibn-Kaab; but others make it decl., reading إِنَّ هٰذَايْنِ لَسَاحِرَانِ: (S, TA: [see, however, what has been said respecting this phrase voce إِنَّ:]) the pl. is هٰؤُلَا in the dial. of Temeem, with a quiescent ا; and هٰؤُلَآءِ in the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, with medd and hemz and khafd; and هٰؤُلَآءٍ in the dial. of Benoo-'Okeyl, with medd and hemz and tenween. (Az, T.) The Arabs also say, لَا هَا اللّٰهِ ذَا, introducing the name of God between هَا and ذَا; meaning No, by God; this is [my oath, or] that by which I swear. (T.) In the following verse, of Jemeel, وَأَتَى صَوَاحِبُهَا فَقُلْنَ هٰذَا الَّذِى

مَنَحَ المَوَدَّةَ غَيْرَنَا وَجَفَانَا [it is said that] هَذَا is for أَذَا, (M,) i. e., ه is here substituted for the interrogative hemzeh (S * and K in art. ها) [so that the meaning is, And her female companions came, and said, Is this he who gave love to other than us, and treated us unkindly?]: or, as some assert, هَذَا is here used for هٰذَا, the ا being suppressed for the sake of the measure. (El-Bedr El-Karáfee, TA in art. ها.) b3: One says also ذَاكَ, (T, S, M, K,) affixing to ذَا the ك of allocution, [q. v., meaning That,] relating to an object that is distant, (T, *, S, and I'Ak p. 36,) or, accord. to general opinion, to that which occupies a middle place between the near and the distant, (I'Ak pp. 36 and 37,) and this ك has no place in desinential syntax; (S, and I'Ak p. 36;) it does not occupy the place of a gen. nor of an accus., but is only affixed to ذا to denote the distance of ذا from the person addressed: (T:) for the fem. you say تِيكَ (T, S) and تَاكَ; (S and K in art. تا, q. v.;) but not ذِيكَ, for this is wrong, (T, S,) and is used only by the vulgar: (T:) for the dual you say ذَانِكَ (T, S) and ذَيْنِكَ, as in the phrases جَآءَنِى ذَانِكَ الرَّجُلَانِ [Those two men came to me] and رَأَيْتُ ذَيْنُكَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ, [I saw those two men]; (S;) and some say ذَانِّكَ, with teshdeed, (T, S,) [accord. to J] for the purpose of corroboration, and to add to the letters of the noun, (S,) but [accord. to others] this is dual of ذٰلِكَ, [which see in what follows,] the second ن being a substitute for the ل; (T on the authority of Zj and others;) and some say تَانِّكَ also, with tesh-deed, (T, S,) as well as تَانِكَ: (T in this art., and S and K in art. تا, but there omitted in some copies of the S:) the pl. is [أُولَاكَ and] أُولٰئِكَ. (T, S.) هَا is also prefixed to ذَاكَ; so that you say, هٰذَاكَ زَيْدٌ [That is Zeyd]: (S, TA:) and in like manner, for the fem., you say هَاتِيكَ and هَاتَاكَ: (S and K in art. تا:) but it is not prefixed [to the dual nor] to أُولٰئِكَ. (S.) b4: You also add ل in ذَاكَ, (T, S, M, K,) as a corroborative; (TA;) so that you say ذٰلِكَ, [meaning That,] (T, S, M, K,) relating to an object that is distant, by common consent; (I'Ak pp. 36 and 37;) or hemzeh, saying ذَائِكَ, (K,) but some say that this is a mispronunciation: (TA in art. ذوى:) for the fem. you say تِلْكَ and تَالِكَ: the dual of ذٰلِكَ is ذَانِّكَ, mentioned above; and that of the fem. is ثَانِّكَ: (T: [and in the K in art. تا, تَالِكَ is also mentioned as a dual, as well as a sing.:]) and the pl. is أُولَالِكَ. (S and M and K voce أُولَى or أُلَى or أُلَا. [See art. الى.]) هَا is not prefixed to ذٰلِكَ (S) nor to تِلْكَ [nor to أُولَالِكَ] because, as IB says, the ل denotes the remoteness of that which is indicated and the ها denotes its nearness, so that the two are incompatible. (TA in art. تا.) b5: In the saying in the Kur [ii. 256, the Verse of the Throne], مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ, (T, TA,) accord. to Th and Mbr, (TA,) هٰذَا is syn. with ذا [so that the meaning is, Who is this that shall intercede with Him but by his permission?]: (T, TA:) or it may be here redundant [so that the meaning is, Who is he that &c.?]. (Kull.) b6: It is sometimes syn. with اَلَّذِى. (T, S, M.) So in the saying, مَا ذَا رَأَيْتَ [What is it that thou sawest?]; to which one may answer, مَتَاعٌ حَسَنٌ [A goodly commodity]. (Sb, S.) and so in the Kur [ii. 220 (erroneously stated as 216 in Lane's original)], وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُونَ[And they ask thee what amount of their property is it that they shall expend in alms]; (T, M, TA;) accord. to those who make the reply to be in the nom. case; for this shows that ما is [virtually] in the nom. case as an inchoative, and ذا is its enunciative, and ينفقون is the complement of ذا; and that ما and ذا are not to be regarded as one word: [or] this is the preferable way of explanation in the opinion of Sb, though he allowed the other way, [that of regarding ما and ذا as one word, together constituting an inchoative, and ينفقون as its enunciative, (see Ham p. 521,)] with [the reply in] the nom. case: (M:) and هٰذَا, also, is used in the same sense: (TA:) so too ذا in مَا ذَا هُوَ and مَنْ ذَا هُوَ may be considered as syn. with الذى; but it is preferable to regard it as redundant. (Kull.) b7: It is [said to be] redundant also in other instances: for ex., in the trad. of Jereer, as related by Aboo-'Amr Ez-Záhid, who says that it is so in this instance: يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ذِى يَمَنٍ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَسْحَةٌ مِنْ ذِى مُلْكٍ

[There will come to you a man from El-Yemen, having upon his face an indication of dominion]. (TA. [But this evidently belongs to art. ذُو; in which see a similar ex. (أَتَيْنَا ذَا يَمَنٍ). See also other exs. there.]) b8: [كَذَا lit. means Like this: and hence, thus: as also هٰكَذَا. b9: It is also often used as one word, and, as such, is made the complement of a prefixed noun; as in سَنَةَ كَذَا and فِى سَنَةِ كَذَا In such a year. See also art. كَذَا: and see the letter ك.] b10: هٰذَا is sometimes used to express contempt, and mean estimation; as in the saying of 'Áïsheh respecting 'Abd-Allah Ibn-'Amr Ibn-'Abbás, يَا عَجَبًا لِابْنِ عَمْرٍو هٰذَا [O wonder (meaning how I wonder) at Ibn-'Amr, this fellow!]. (Kitáb el-Miftáh, cited in De Sacy's “ Gram. Ar.,” 2nd ed., i. 442.) [يَا هٰذَا often occurs as addressed to one who is held in mean estimation: it is like the Greek ὦ οὗτος, and virtually like the vulgar Arabic expression يَا أَنْتَ, and the Latin heus tu; agreeably with which it may be rendered O thou; meaning O thou fellow; an appellation denoting mean estimation being understood: in the contrary case, one says يَا فَتَى.

See also, in what follows, a usage of ذَاكَ and ذٰلِكَ. b11: هٰذَا in a letter and the like is introduced when the writer breaks off, turning to a new subject; and means “ This is all that I had to say on the subject to which, it relates: ” what follows it is commenced with the conjunction وَ.] b12: One says, لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ [and لَيْسَ بِذٰلِكَ], meaning It is not approved: for, [like as a person held in mean estimation is indicated by هٰذَا, which denotes a thing that is near, so,] on account of its high degree of estimation, a thing that is approved is indicated by that whereby one indicates a thing that is remote. (Kull voce ليس.) [See also what next follows.] b13: ذٰلِكَ الكِتَابُ in the Kur ii. 1 is said by Zj to mean هٰذَا الكِتَابُ [This book]: but others say that ذلك is here used because the book is remote [from others] in respect of highness and greatness of rank. (TA.) b14: كَذٰلِكَ [lit. Like that, often means so, or in like manner: and b15: ] Let that suffice [thee or] you. (TA in art. ذعر, from a trad.) b16: The dim. of ذَا is ذَيَّا: (T, S, M:) you form no dim. of the fem. ذِى, using in its stead that of تَا, (S,) which is تَيَّا: (T:) the dim. of the dual [ذَانِ] is ذَيَّانِ: (S:) and that of [the pl.] أُولَآءِ [and أُولَى] is أُولَيَّآءِ [and أُولَيَّا]: (T:) b17: that of هٰذَا is ذَيَّا, like that of ذَا; [and you may say هٰذَيَّا also; for] that of هٰؤُلَآءِ is هٰؤُلَيَّآءِ: (T:) b18: that of ذَاكَ is ذَيَّاكَ: (S, K: *) and that of تَاكَ is تَيَّاكَ: (K in art. تا:) b19: that of ذٰلِكَ is ذَيَّالِكَ: (S, K: *) and that of تِلْكَ is تَيَّالِكَ. (S.) A rájiz says, أَوْ تَحْلِفِى بِرَبِّكَ العَلِىِّ

إِنِّى أَبُو ذَيَّالِكِ الصَّبِىِّ [Or thou shalt swear by thy Lord, the High, that I am the father of that little child]: (S, TA:) he was an Arab who came from a journey, and found that his wife had given birth to a boy whom he disacknowledged. (TA.) A2: ذَا is also the accus. case of ذُو, q. v.

عز

1 عَزَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عِزٌّ (Az, S, A, O, Msb, K) and عِزَّةٌ, (Az, S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (Msb,) and عَزَازَةٌ, (S, K,) He was, or became, mighty, potent, powerful, or strong; (TA, in explanation of عِزٌّ;) and so ↓ تعزّز; or the latter signifies he made himself so; he strengthened himself; syn. تَقَوَّى: (Msb:) and the former, he became so after being low, or mean, in condition; (Az, S, A, K;) as also عَزَّ, sec. Pers\. عَزِرْتَ, aor. ـَ (Msb:) he was, or became, high, or elevated, in rank, or condition, or state; noble, honourable, glorious, or illustrious; (S, * A, * K, * TK; and TA in explanation of عِزٌّ;) as also ↓ تعزّز. (S, * K, * TK.) [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ, referring to the name of God expressed or understood, is a phrase of frequent occurrence, meaning, To Him, or to Whom, belong might and majesty, or glory and greatness.] b2: You also say, عَزَزْتُ عَلَيْهِ, (S, O, K,) aor. ـِ (O, K,) meaning, كَرُمْتُ عَلَيْهِ, (S, O, K, *) i. e., I exceeded him in nobleness, or generosity. (TK.) b3: And عَزَّ, [aor. ـِ inf. n. عِزٌّ and عِزَّةٌ and app. عَزَازَةٌ also,] He magnified, or exalted, himself: (TA:) (assumed tropical:) he was disdainful, scornful, or indignant, in a blamable manner. (TA, in explanation of عِزَّةٌ; q. v. infrà.) [See also 5.] b4: He resisted, or withstood: (TA, in explanation of عِزٌّ:) he was indomitable, invincible; not to be overcome. (B and TA, in explanation of عِزَّةٌ, q. v. infrà.) And عَزَّ الشَّىْءُ, aor. ـِ The thing was, or became, [difficult, or hard; as also ↓ اِعْتَزَّ, (occurring in the TA, coupled with تَعَسَّرَ, in an explanation of مَنُعَ, in art. منع,) and ↓ تعزّز: and] impossible, insuperable, or unattainable: or so, as Es-Sarakustee says, ↓ تعزّز. (Msb.) b5: And عَزَّ, (S, O, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. عِزٌّ and عِزَّةٌ and عَزَازَةٌ, (S, O,) It (a thing, S, O, K, meaning anything, TA) was, or became, rare, scarce, hardly to be found. (S, O, K.) b6: [and hence, He, or it, was, or became, dear, highly esteemed, or greatly valued..] b7: عَزَّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (Mgh, O, Msb, K) and عَزَّ (Fr, Mgh, O, K,) [the second Pers\. of the pret. being عَزَزْتَ and عَزِزْتَ,] the latter aor. the more chaste, (O,) means Thy doing so distressed, or hath distressed, or afflicted, me; or, emphatically, distresses, or afflicts, me; syn. اِشْتَدَّ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA,) and حَقَّ, (S, O, K, TA,) and شَقَّ: (TA:) a phrase [often, but not always,] alluding to a loathing of the action, or indignation thereat. (Msb.) In like manner also you say, عَزَّ عَلَىَّ كَذَا Such a thing distressed, or afflicted, me. (S.) And عَزَّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ

أَسُوْءَكَ It distressed, or afflicted, me to displease thee. (A.) And عَزَّ مَا أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ, like حَقَّ أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ [or حَقَّ مَا انّك ذاهب, meaning It is distressing that thou art going away]. (TA.) And one says to a man, Dost thou love me? and he replies, لَعَزَّ مَا, i. e., لَشَدَّ مَا, (A, O, K,) and لَحَقَّ مَا, (A, TA,) meaning It distresses me, what thou sayest; or it has distressed me. (TK.) You say also, بِمَا أَصَابَكَ ↓ أُعْزِزْتُ I was, or am, distressed by what befell, or hath befallen, thee. (S, O, K.) And عَلَىَّ بِمَا أُصِبْتَ بِهِ ↓ أَعْزِزْ That by which thou hast been afflicted distresses me: (S, O:) [or how doth it distress me!] so in a trad. of 'Alee; when he beheld Talhah slain, he said, عَلَىَّ ↓ أَعْزِزْ

أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْ أَرَاكَ مُجَدَّلًا تَحْتَ نُجُومِ السَّمَآءِ [It distresses me, or how doth it distress me! O Aboo-Mohammad, that I see thee prostrated upon the ground beneath the stars of heaven]. (TA.) [A similar ex. is given in the A; without بِ prefixed to أَنْ.]

A2: عَزَّ also signifies He was, or became, weak: thus having two contr. meanings. (Msb.) A3: عَزَّهُ, aor. ـُ (S, A, O, K,) inf. n. عَزٌّ, (S, O, TA,) He overcame him, or conquered him: (S, A, O:) he overcame him in argumentative contest; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ عَزْعَزَهُ, (K,) inf. n. عَزْعَزَةٌ; (TA;) and so عَزَّهُ فِى الخِطَابِ: (Jel in xxxviii.

22, and TA:) or this last signifies he became stronger than he therein; (TA;) or he strove with him to overcome therein; as also فِيهِ ↓ عازّهُ, (S, K,) inf. n. مُعَازَّةٌ: (O, TA:) in the Kur xxxviii.

22, some read عَزَّنِى; and others, ↓ عَازَّنِى: and you say, فَعَزَزْتُهُ ↓ عَازَّنِى, meaning, he strove with me to overcome, and I overcame him: and مُعَازَّةٌ signifies the contending together in argument: (TA:) you say also of a horse, فَارِسَهُ ↓ اعتزّ [he overcame his rider, or gained the mastery over him]. (S and K in art. جمع.) It is said in a prov., (S,) مَنْ عَزَّ بَزَّ He who overcomes takes the spoil. (S, A, O, K.) And in another prov., (S,) إِذَا عَزَّ أَخُوكَ فَهُنْ (Th, S, O, K) When thy brother overcomes thee, and thou art not equal to him (لَمْ تُقَاومْهُ) be thou gentle to him: (Az, O, K, TA:) or when thy brother magnifies and exalts himself against thee, abase thyself: (Th, TA:) or, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, what Th says is a mistake; the right reading being فَهِنْ, with kesr, and the meaning, when thy brother is hard, or severe, to thee, treat thou him with gentleness, or blandishment; not فَهُنْ, with damm, which is from الهَوَانُ: but ISd approves and justifies the reading given by Th. (TA.) [See also 10.]

A4: عَزَّهُ. aor. ـُ inf. n. عَزٌّ, also signifies the same as عَزَّزَهُ (Msb, TA *) and أَعَزَّهُ, (TA,) in a sense pointed out below: see 2, in two places. (Msb, TA.) b2: [And hence,] with the same aor. and inf. n., He aided, or helped, him. (IKtt, TA.) A5: عَزَّ المَآءُ, (O, K,) aor. ـِ (O,) The water flowed. (O, K.) b2: And عَزَّتِ القَرْحَةُ, (O, K,) aor. ـِ (O,) The قرحة, [i. e. wound, or pustule,] discharged what was in it. (O, K.) A6: عَزَّتْ, aor. ـُ inf. n. عُزُوزٌ and عِزَازٌ; (S, O, K;) and , (K,) accord. to IAar, (O,) عَزُزَتْ, (O, K,) inf. n. عُزُوزٌ; (O, TA;) She (a camel, IAar, S, O, K, and a ewe or goat, IAar, O) was narrow in the orifices of the teats; (S, O, * K;) as also ↓ اعزّت, (S, O, K,) and ↓ تعزّزت: (S, K:) or عَزُزَتْ, [which is of a very uncommon form, (see دَمَّ, last sentence,)] she (a ewe, or goat,) became scant in her milk. (IKh, TA in art. لب.) 2 عزّزهُ, (inf. n. تَعْزِيزٌ, TA,) He rendered him mighty, potent, powerful, or strong; he strengthened him; (S, Msb, TA;) بِآخَرَ by, or by means of, another; (Msb;) as also ↓ عَزَّهُ, (S, Msb, TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. عَزٌّ; (Msb;) and ↓ اعزّهُ: (O, TA:) the agent is God, (S, TA,) and a man: (Msb, TA:) He (God, S, TA) rendered him mighty, potent, powerful, or strong, after he had been low, or mean, in condition; (K, TA;) as also ↓ اعزّهُ [which is the more common in this sense, and as signifying He rendered him high, or elevated, in rank or condition or state, or noble, honourable, glorious, or illustrious]. (S, K, TA.) In the Kur [xxxvi. 13], some read, فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ; (S, TA;) and others, بثالث ↓ فَعَزَزْنَا; meaning And then we strengthened [them] by a third. (S, O, TA.) [See also an explanation of a verse cited voce عَزَآءٌ in art. عزى.]

b2: عزّز المُطَرُ الأَرْضَ, (S, O, K,) and عزّز مِنْهَا, (O, K,) inf. n. تَعْزِيزٌ, (K,) The rain made the earth compact, or coherent, (S, O, K, TA,) and hard, so that the feet did not sink into it. (TA.) b3: عزّز بِهِمْ, (inf. n. as above, TA,) He treated them with hardness, severity, or rigour; not with indulgence. (A, TA.) 3 عازّهُ, inf. n. مُعَازَّةٌ: see عَزَّهُ, in three places.4 اعزّهُ: see 2, in two places. b2: Also He loved him: (Az, O, K:) but Sh reckons this weak. (O.) A2: أُعْزِزْتُ: and the verb of wonder أَعْزِزْ: see عَزَّ, in three places.

A3: اعزّت said of camel and of a ewe: see 1, last sentence. b2: Also She (a cow) had difficult gestation, (S, O, K,) or, accord. to IKtt, bad gestation. (TA.) b3: and She (a goat, and a ewe,) manifested her pregnancy, and became large in her udder: (Az, O, K:) or, as some say, i. q. أَضْرَعَتْ [q. v.]. (O.) A4: and اعزّ He became, (S, O, K,) and journeyed, (TA,) in ground such as is termed عَزَاز [q. v.]. (S, O, K, TA.) 5 تعزّز: see 1, first quarter, in four places. [It is sometimes changed to تعزّى.] It is said in a trad., مَنْ لَمْ يَتَعَزَّ بِعِزِّ اللّٰهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا [Such as does not strengthen himself by the strength of God, he is not of us]; expl. by Th as meaning he who does not refer his affair to God is not of us. (TA. [See another reading voce تَعَزَّى, in art. عزى.]) You say also, تَعَزَّيْتُ عَنْهُ, meaning I constrained myself to endure the loss, or want, of him, or it, with patience; originally تَعَزَّزْتُ, meaning, I exerted my strength or energy [to divert myself from him, or it]; like تَظَنَّيْتُ for تَظَنَّنْتُ. (TA.) [But see art. عزى.] b2: He magnified and hardened himself; he behaved in a proud and hard manner, towards others. (TA.) b3: تعزّز بِهِ He gloried, or prided himself, in, or by reason of, him [or it]; (TA;) as also بِهِ ↓ اعتزّ; (O, TA;) [and بِهِ ↓ استعزّ.] b4: تعزّز لَحْمُ النَّاقَةِ The flesh of the she-camel became hard, or tough.

(TA.) A2: See also عَزَزٌ.

عَزُوزٌ Narrow in the orifices of the teats; (S, A, O, K;) applied to a she-camel, (S, O, K,) and to a ewe, (O,) and to a she-goat. (TA.) One says of a niggardly man possessing much property, فُلَانٌ عَنْزٌ عَزُوزٌ لَهَا دَرٌّ جَمٌّ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one is like a she-goat narrow in the orifices of the teats, that has much milk].

(TA.) b5: وَإِنَّهُ لَكِتَابٌ عَزِيزٌ, [said of the Kur, in that book, xli. 41, means And verily it is a mighty book: meaning, inimitable: or] defended, or protected, (Bd, Jel,) from being rendered void and from being corrupted: (Bd:) or of great utility; unequalled. (Bd.) [الكِتَابُ العَزِيزُ The mighty book, is an appellation often given to the Kur-án.] b6: عِزُّ عَزِيزٌ signifies Great might, or the like: or might, or the like, that is a cause of the same to a person.

(A.) A2: حَبُّ العَزِيزِ [The small tubercles that compose the root of the cyperus esculentus, which have a sweet and pleasant taste, and which women eat with the view of acquiring fatness thereby: and also that plant itself: both are thus called in the present day].

عَزِيزَةٌ [fem. of عَزِيزٌ, q. v. b2: Also] An eagle: so in a verse of Aboo-Kebeer El-Hudhalee: but as some relate that verse, it is عَزِيبَة, (K, TA,) i. e. “ that has gone far from the seeker: ” (TA:) or غَرِيبَة, (TA, and thus in the CK,) expl. by Skr as meaning “ black ” (سَوْدَآء) [as though for غِرْبِيبَة, fem. of غِربِيب: but the word سَوْدَآء immediately follows it in that verse]. (TA.) عُزَيْزَى and عُزَيْزَآءُ The extremity of the hip, or haunch, of a horse: (S, O, K, TA:) or the part between the root of the tail and the جَاعِرَة [q. v.]; (TA as from the K [in which I do not find it]): or the former, a sinew inserted in the rectum, extending to the hip, or haunch: (Aboo-Málik, TA:) dual of the former عُزَيْزَيَانِ, and of the latter عُزَيْزَاوَانِ. (S, O, TA.) عُزَّى: see أَعَزُّ, in four places: and عَزِيزٌ.

عَزَّآءُ [fem. of أَعَزُّ, q. v., last sentence: b2: and] i. q. مَعْزُوزَةٌ, q. v. (TA.) أَعَزُّ [More, and most, mighty, potent, powerful, or strong: &c.: see عَزِيزٌ, of which it is the comparative and superlative form: and see an ex. voce اَلْ (p. 75): and another in a verse cited in art. صب, conj. 6]. It is related in a trad. of Aboo-Bekr, that he said to 'Áïsheh, إِنَّ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ غَنًى أَنْتِ وَأَعَزُّهُمْ فَقْرًا أَنْتِ, meaning. Verily the one of mankind whose richness is most pleasing to me art thou; and the one of them whose poverty is most distressing to me art thou. (Mgh.) The fem. of أَعَزُّ [as a noun of excess] is ↓ عُزَّى: (S, ISd, O, K;) like as فُضْلَى is of أَفْضَلُ. (ISd.) [But see what follows.] b2: ↓ العُزَّى

was the name of A certain idol, (S, O, K,) belonging to Kureysh and Benoo-Kináneh: (S, O, TA:) or a certain gum-acacia-tree, (سَمُرَةٌ,) which the tribe of Ghatafán (S, O, K) the son of Saad the son of Keys-'Eilán (TA) used to worship; (S, O, K;) the first who took it as an object of worship was Dhálim the son of As' ad; above Dhát-'Irk, nine miles towards El-Bustán, (O, K, TA,) at [the valley called] En-Nakhleh Esh-Shámeeyeh, (O, TA,) near Mekkeh; or, as some say, at Et-Táïf: (TA:) he, (K,) Dhálim, (O,) or they, (S,) built over it a house, (S, O, K) and named it بُسّ, (O, K,) accord. to Ibn-El-Kelbee; or, accord. to others, بُسَّآء; (TA;) and they appointed to it ministers, (S, TA,) like those of the Kaabeh; (TA;) and they used to hear in it a voice: (O, K, TA:) but Mohammad sent to it Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed, (S, O, K,) in the year of the conquest [of Mekkeh], (O, TA,) and he demolished the house, (S, K,) and slew the [chief] minister, (TA,) and burned the gum-acacia-tree: (S, O, K:) or, as is related on the authority of I'Ab, a certain she-devil, who used to come to three gumacacia-trees (سَمُرَات) in Batn-Nakhleh, against whom Mohammad, when he conquered Mekkeh, sent Khálid Ibn-El-Weleed; and he cut down the trees, and slew her and her minister. (TA.) A poet says, أَمَا وَدِمَآءٍ مَائِرَاتٍ تَخَالُهَا عَلَى قُنَّةِ العُزَّى وَبِالنَّسْرِ عَنْدَمَا [Verily, or now surely, by bloods flowing, and running hither and thither, which thou wouldst think to be dragon's-blood, upon the mountain-top of El-' Ozzà, and by En-Nesr]. (S.) ISd says, I hold ↓ العُزَّى to be fem. of الأَعَزُّ; and if so, the ال in the former is not redundant, but is like the ال in الحَارِثُ and العَبَّاسُ: but properly it should be redundant, because we have not heard العُزَّى as an epithet [of excess] like as we have heard الصُّغْرَى and الكُبْرَى. (L, TA.) b3: ↓ عُزَّى is [however] used in the sense of عَزِيزَةٌ: (K, TA:) and أَعَزُّ [fem. عَزَّآءُ] is also syn. with عَزِيزٌ, which see in four places. (S, K.) المُعِزُّ, as a name of God, He who giveth عِزّ [or might, &c.] to whomsoever He will, of his servants. (TA.) مَعَزَّةٌ [accord. to analogy signifies A cause, or means, of عِزّ i. e. might, &c.]: see ظَفَارِ.

إِنَّكُمْ مُعَزَّزٌ بِكُمْ Verily ye are treated with hardness, severity, or rigour; not with indulgence. (S, O, TA.) From a trad. of Ibn-'Omar.

(S, O, K.) b2: And, so applied, Rained upon (O, K, TA) by rain such as is termed عِزّ, and rendered compact, or coherent, and hard; as also ↓ عَزَازَةٌ and ↓ عَزَّآءُ. (TA.) مُعْتَزٌّ is syn. with مُسْتَعِزٌّ. (TA.) You say, أَنَا مُعْتَزٌّ بِبَنِى فُلَانٍ and بِهِمْ ↓ مُسْتَعِزٌّ [I reckon myself strong by means of the sons of such a one]. (A.) b2: فَرَسٌ مُعْتَزَّةٌ A mare having thick and strong flesh. (TA.) مُسْتَعِزٌّ :see the next preceding paragraph.
