زُرٌّ: see what next follows.

زِرٌّ, (S, A, Msb, K, &c.,) and ↓ زُرٌّ, (ISk,) app. in the same sense, (Az,) and ↓ زَرٌّ has been also mentioned, but this is doubtful, (MF,) A button (IAar, A, Msb, TA) of a shirt, (IAar, S, A, Msb, K,) and of other things, as, for instance, of a curtain: (MF, TA:) or the loop into which a button is put: (ISh:) the latter, accord. to Az, is the right meaning: (TA:) [but the former is that to which the word is generally applied:] the former is also called زِيرٌ, by a change of the first ر: (IAar:) pl. [of pauc.] أَزْرَارٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and [of mult.] زُرُورٌ. (K.) [Hence the saying,] هُوَ أَلْزَمُ لِى

مِنْ زِرِّى لِعُرْوَتِهِ [He is more fast to me than my button to its loop]. (A.) And أَعْطَانِيهِ بِزِرِّهِ (tropical:) He gave it to me altogether. (A.) b2: الزِّرُّ [The star ξ of Gemini;] one of the two stars called الهَنْعَةُ. (Kzw.) b3: زِرٌّ also signifies (tropical:) A certain piece of wood at the upper extremity of the pole of a tent: (A, K: *) pl. أَزْرَارٌ: (TA:) the upper end of the tent-pole is inserted into it: (L:) or the ازرار of a tent (خِبَآء) are certain pieces of wood which are sewed into the upper parts of the pieces of cloth which compose the tent, the lower ends of which [pieces of cloth] are upon the ground: and زَرَّهَا signifies “ he made in them [namely the said pieces of cloth] such pieces of wood. ” (TA.) b4: (tropical:) The socket in which the head of the upper bone of the arm turns; (A, K; *) resembling the half of a nut: (A:) or the head itself of that bone: (TA:) and the extremity of the hip-bone, in the socket.

(K.) b6: (tropical:) The edge, (K,) or each of the two edges, (TA,) of a sword. (IAar, K, TA.) b7: One says, إِنَّهُ لَزِرٌّ مِنْ أَزْرَارِ الإِبِلِ (S, * A, K *) (tropical:) Verily he is one who keeps close to the camels; (A;) a good pastor of them. (S, A, K. [Accord. to the A, it seems to be from زِرٌّ signifying “ a button. ”]) You term also زِرُّ مَالٍ (assumed tropical:) One who drives camels, or the like, vehemently; accord. to some; but the preceding meaning, given in the K, is the more correct: (TA:) or it signifies one acquainted with the right management thereof; (K, TA;) who manages them well; (TA;) as also مَالٍ ↓ زُرْزُورُ. (K.) b8: زِرُّ الدِّينِ (assumed tropical:) The support, or prop, of the religion; (Abu-l-'Abbás, K;) like the small bone called زِرّ, which is the support of the heart: (Abu-l-'Abbás, TA:) applied, in a trad., to 'Alee: in another relation, it is زِرُّ الأَرْضِ, meaning he between whom and the earth is a mutual dependance, and without whose existence one would repudiate the earth and mankind: or, accord. to Th, he by whom the earth becomes firm, like as a shirt does by means of its زِرّ [or button]. (TA.) زَرَّةٌ Intellect, or intelligence. (O, TA.) زِرَّةٌ The mark left by a bite: (K, TA:) or, as some say, a bite itself. (TA.) And A wound with the edge of a sword. (TA.) A2: J says, When camels are fat, you say, بِهَا زِرَّةٌ: but this is a mistake for بَهَا زِرَةٌ, (Sgh, K,) which is pl. of بُهْزُورَةٌ. (TA in art. بهزر.) زَرِيرٌ, applied to a man, (O, TA,) Light, or active; and sharp, or acute, of mind, with quickness of perception, and of intelligence, understanding, sagacity, skill, or knowledge; as also ↓ زَرْزَارٌ; (O, K; [in the CK, الزَكِىُّ is erroneously put for الذَّكِىُّ;]) which is also expl. as signifying light, or active, and quick; (TA;) and ↓ زُرَازِرٌ, (K,) of which the pl. is زَرَازِرُ. (TA.) A2: Also A certain plant, (O, K.) having a yellow blossom, (O,) with which one dyes: (O, K:) in this sense, a Pers\., or foreign, word. (O.) زُرْزُرٌ: see زُرْزُورٌ.

زَرْزَارٌ: see زَرِيرٌ. Accord. to As, it signifies A man whose eyes glisten. (TA.) زُرْزُورٌ [The starling;] a certain bird, (IDrd, S, O, K,) as also ↓ زُرْزُرٌ, (IDrd, O, K,) resembling the lark: pl. زَرَازِيرُ. (TA.) A2: مَرْكَبٌ زُرْزُورٌ A narrow مركب [or animal, or thing, upon which one rides or is carried; accord. to the TK, meaning a beast; for it is there added that one says حِمَارٌ زُرْزُورٌ, meaning a narrow ass]. (O, K. *) A3: زُرْزُورُ مَالٍ: see زِرٌّ last sentence but one.

زُرَازِرٌ: see زَرِيرٌ.

مِزَرٌّ An ass [app. meaning a wild ass] that bites much. (S, * TA.) مَزْرُورٌ is used by El-Marrár El-Fak'asee as meaning A she-camel's nose-rein; because it is plaited and tied. (S.)

شر

1 شَرَّ, (L, K,) sec. Pers\. شَرِرْتَ, (S, Msb, K, MF,) aor. ـَ (L, Msb, MF;) and sec. Pers\.

شَرُرْتَ, (S accord. to some copies, L, Msb, K, MF,) aor. ـُ (L, Msb, K, * MF;) and sec. Pers\.

شَرَرْتَ, (S accord. to some copies, M, K, MF,) aor. ـِ (M, K, MF;) of which three vars. the first is the best known; and the last is strange, and disallowed by most authorities; (MF;) inf. n. [of the first or third] شَرٌّ (S, K) and [of the first]

شَرَرٌ (S) and [of the second or third] شَرَارَةٌ, (S, K,) and شِرَّةٌ also is an inf. n. [syn. with شَرٌّ]; (S;) He (a man) was, or became, evil, a wrongdoer, unjust, bad, corrupt, wicked, mischievous, vitious, or depraved. (S, * L, Msb, K, * &c.) The manner in which the K mentions شَرَّ with the two aor. .

يَشُرُّ and يَشِرُّ [only, omitting the most common aor., i. e. يَشَرُّ,] obviously demands consideration. (MF.) One says, شَرِرْتَ يَا رَجُلُ [Thou hast been evil, or a wrongdoer, &c., O man], (S, K,) and so شَرُرْتَ and شَرَرْتَ. (S accord. to different copies, and K.) b2: شَرَّ, aor. ـَ also signifies He increased in evil, wrongdoing, &c. (L.) It is said in a prov., كُلَّمَا تَكْبَرُ تَشَرُّ [In proportion as thou growest old, thou increasest in evil, &c.]. (Az, L.) b3: مَا شَرَّهُ: see 4, last sentence.

A2: شَرَّهُ, (O, K,) aor. ـُ (O, TA,) inf. n. شُرٌّ, (O, K,) with damm, (K, [which is said in the TA to indicate that the aor. , not the inf. n., is with damm, but this is inconsistent with the common practice of the author of the K, and is evidently wrong,]) He blamed him; found fault with him; attributed or imputed to him, charged him with, or accused him of, a vice, fault, defect, blemish, or something amiss. (O, K, * TA. [See also 4.]) One says, مَا قُلْتُ ذَاكَ لِشُرِّكَ وَإِنَّمَا قُلْتُةُ لِغَيْرِ شُرِّكَ I said not that to find fault with thee, but I only said it for a different purpose than that of finding fault with thee: (S, TA:) or this has a different meaning, which see below, voce شُرٌّ. (TA.) One says also, قَدْ قَبِلْتُ عَطِيَّتَكَ ثُمَّ رَدَدْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ شُرِّكَ وَلَا ضُرِّكَ, meaning [I have accepted thy gift; then I have given it back to thee] without rejecting it to thee or blaming thee [and without injuring thee]. (IAar, TA.) A3: Also شَرَّهُ, (S,) or شَرَّهُ فِى الشَّمْسِ, (A,) [aor. and inf. n. as in the next sentence;] and ↓ شرّرهُ, (A,) inf. n. تَشْرِيرٌ; (S;) and ↓ اشرّهُ; and ↓ شَرْشَرَهُ; (A;) He spread it (i. e. a garment, or piece of cloth, S, or some other thing, TA) in the sun: (S, A, TA:) this is the primary signification. (TA.) And [hence,] شَرَّهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـُ (S,) inf. n. شَرٌّ; (S, K;) and ↓ اشرّهُ, (K,) inf. n. إِشْرَارٌ; (TA;) and ↓ شرّرهُ, (K,) inf. n. as above; (TA;) and شَرَّاهُ [or شَرَاهُ without tesh-deed?]; (K;) He put it (i. e. [the preparation of curd called] أَقْط, and flesh-meat, S, K, and the like, and salt, S, and a garment, or piece of cloth, and the like, K) upon a خَصَفَة, (S, K,) i. e. a mat, (TA,) or some other thing, (K,) to dry. (S, K.) And شرّهُ He sprinkled it; namely, salt. (R, MF.) 2 شرّرهُ inf. n. تَشْرِيرٌ, He rendered him notorious, or infamous, among men. (Yz, K.) A2: See also 1, latter part, in two places.3 شارّهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُشَارَّةٌ, (S,) He acted with him in an evil manner; (K;) he treated him with enmity, or hostility: (L, TA:) he contended, or disputed, with him: (S, L, TA:) he did evil to him, obliging him to do the like in return. (L, TA.) [See also 3 in art. شرى: and see an ex. voce جَارَّ.]4 اشرّهُ He attributed, or imputed, to him evil, wrongdoing, injustice, or the like: (S, K:) but some disallow this. (S. [See also 1.]) b2: أَشَرُّوهُ They banished him, or drove him away, and caused him to be alone. (TA.) A2: See also 1, latter part, in two places. b2: [Hence, app.,] اشرّهُ signifies also (tropical:) He manifested it, revealed it, published it, or made it known. (S, A, K.) Thus in a verse of Imra-el-Keys, where he says, لَوْ يُشِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى (assumed tropical:) [that they might publish, or make known, my slaughter]; as related by As; but it is better with س. (S.) A3: مَا أَشَرَّهُ, and ↓ مَا شَرَّهُ, [the latter of which is extr. with respect to form, but more commonly used than the former, meaning How evil, wrongdoing, unjust, bad, corrupt, wicked, mischievous, vitious, or depraved, is he!] phrases similar to مَا أَخْيَرَهُ and مَا خَيْرَهُ [which have the contr. meaning]. (TA in art. خير.) 8 اشترّ, said of a camel, [and of any clovenhoofed animal,] i. q. اجترّ, i. e. He ruminated, or chewed the cud: ج and ش being from one place of utterance. (IAth, TA.) 10 استشرّ He became possessor of a great herd, such as is termed إِشْرَارَة, of camels. (K.) R. Q. 1 شَرْشَرَهُ, (A 'Obeyd, K,) inf. n. شَرْشَرَةٌ, (S,) He split it, or clave it: (A 'Obeyd, S:) and cut it much, or in many pieces. (A 'Obeyd, S, K.) b2: He bit it, and then shook it; namely, a thing. (O, K, TA. [In the CK, نَقَضَهُ is erroneously put for نَفَضَهُ.]) b3: شَرْشَرَتْهُ الحَيَّةُ The serpent bit him. (L, K. *) b4: شرشرت المَاشِيَةُ النَّبَاتَ The cattle ate the herbage. (K.) b5: شرشر السِّكِّينَ He sharpened, (K,) or rubbed, (O,) the knife upon a stone, (O, K, TA,) so that its edge became rough. (O, TA.) b6: See also 1, latter part.

A2: شَرْشَرَ, inf. n. as above, It (a bird) expanded and flapped its wings, without alighting; like رَفْرَفَ. (TA in art. فرش.) R. Q. 2 تَشَرْشَرَ It became separated, or scattered. (A.) شَرٌّ (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ شُرٌّ, (Kr, K,) the former of which is the more chaste, (TA,) and ↓ شِرَّةٌ (Ham p. 629) Evil, [moral and physical;] (L, Msb;) wrongdoing, injustice, badness, corruptness, wickedness, mischievousness, vitiousness, or depravity: (Msb:) [and evil fortune, misfortune, woe, or unhappiness:] contr. of خَيْرٌ: (S, A, K:) pl. شُرُورٌ. (Msb, K.) It is said in a trad., in a form of prayer, (TA,) used by the Prophet, (Msb,) وَالخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ بِيَدَيْكَ وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ, (Msb, * TA,) meaning [And all good is in thy hands, and evil i. e.] wrongdoing, or injustice, or corruptness, is not imputable to Thee: (Msb, TA:) or evil is not a means of advancement in thy favour, or of obtaining thine approval: or evil speech does not ascend to Thee. (Nh, L.) b2: شَرٌّ also signifies (assumed tropical:) Poverty. (K.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) Fever. (K.) b4: It is also an epithet, applied to a man, (Yoo, S,) and so is ↓ شَرِيرٌ, (Akh, S, A, Msb, K,) meaning Evil, wrongdoing, unjust, bad, corrupt, wicked, mischievous, vitious, or depraved: (Yoo, * Akh, * S, * A, * Msb, K: *) [fem. of the former شَرَّةٌ, like as خَيْرَةٌ is fem. of its contr. خَيْرٌ; and شُرَّى, fem. of أَشَرُّ, is used in the same sense, as will be shown in what follows:] the pl. of شَرٌّ, (Yoo, S,) or of ↓ شَرِيرٌ, (Akh, S, Msb, K,) is أَشْرَارٌ, (Yoo, Akh, S, Msb, K,) and of the former شِرَارٌ; (Ham p. 514;) and you say قَوْمٌ أَشِرَّآءُ [pl. of شَرٌّ or of ↓ شَرِيرٌ]. (S.) A woman of the Arabs, (S, L,) who, accord. to some, was of the Benoo-'Ámir, (L,) is related to have said, ↓ أُعِيذُكِ بِاللّٰهِ مِنْ نَفْسٍ حَرَّى وَعَيْنٍ شُرَّى, meaning [I charm thee by invoking God, against a thirsty soul, and] an evil, or a malignant, eye: (S, L:) or an eye that looks at one with vehement hatred. (TA.) And الشَّرُّ [The evil one] is an appellation of Iblees. (K.) b5: [It is also used to denote the comparative and superlative degrees; like the contr. خَيْرٌ.] You say, هُوَ شَرٌّ مِنْكَ [He is worse, or more evil or wrongdoing &c., than thou]. (K.) And هٰذَا شَرٌّ مِنْ ذَاكَ [This is worse, &c., than that]. (Msb.) And فُلَانٌ شَرُّ النَّاسِ [Such a one is the worst, &c., of mankind]; (S;) and ↓ أَشَرُّ; (S, Msb, K;) this latter being the original, (Mgh, Msb,) but rare, (K,) or bad, (S, K,) peculiar to the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir, (Msb,) or unused. (Mgh.) The fem. [of شَرٌّ] is شَرَّةٌ, [like as the fem. of its contr., خَيْرٌ, is خَيْرَةٌ,] (K,) and (of أَشَرُّ, S, * or of شَرٌّ, which is used for أَشَرُّ, Kr) ↓ شُرَّى. (S, Kr, K.) And [using the dim. form of شَرٌّ,] you say, مِنْكَ ↓ هُوَ شُرَيْرٌ [He is a little worse, &c., than thou]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA in art. خير. [See خَيْرٌ.]) A2: مَا شَرَّ for مَا أَشَرَّ: see 4.

شُرٌّ A vice, fault, defect, blemish, or something amiss: (TA:) a thing disapproved, disliked, or hated. (K, TA.) You say, مَا رَدَدْتُ هٰذَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ شُرٍّ بِهِ I did not give this back to thee on account of any fault &c., in it, but I preferred to give it to thee. (TA.) And مَا قُلْتُ ذَاكَ لِشُرِّكَ I said not that on account of a thing that thou disapprovest, &c.: (K, TA:) or this has a different meaning, expl. above in the first paragraph. (TA.) b2: See also شَرٌّ, first sentence.

شِرَّةٌ: see شَرٌّ, first sentence. b2: Also The inordinate desire, or eagerness, (S,) and sprightliness, of youth: (S, K:) and in an absolute sense, inordinate desire, or eagerness; and [simply] desire; and sprightliness: (TA:) [and] sharpness, and angriness. (Har p. 35.) It is said in a trad., إِنَّ لِهٰذَا القُرْآنِ شِرَّةً ثُمَّ إِنَّ لِلنَّاسِ عَنْهُ فَتْرَةً [Verily there is an eagerness for this Kur-án: then men have a weariness of it]. (L.) شَرَرٌ; n. un. with ة: see what next follows.

شَرَارٌ, (S, A, O, Msb, TA,) accord. to the K شِرَارٌ, but this is a mistake, (MF,) and ↓ شَرَرٌ, (S, A, O, Msb, K,) which is a contraction of شَرَارٌ, (Msb,) Sparks of fire: (S, O, Msb, K:) n. un. of each with ة. (S, A, O, Msb, * K.) See an ex. voce شَرَّارٌ.

(A.) شَرَّانٌ Certain insects (K) resembling بَعُوض [or gnats], (S, K,) which cover the face of a man, but do not bite; sometimes called الأَذَى: (S:) of the dial. of the people of Es-Sawád: (T, TA:) [it is with tenween; for] the n. un. is with ة. (K.) شِرِّيرٌ (S, A, K) Abounding in شَرّ [or evil or wrongdoing &c.; very evil &c.]; applied to a man: (S, A:) pl. شِرِّيرُونَ (K) and أَشْرَارٌ, which latter is anomalous. (Ham. p. 699.) شَرْشَرٌ, (IAar, S, K,) or (so in the S, but in the K “ and ”) ↓ شِرْشِرٌ, (Ibn-Ziyád, S, K,) A certain plant, (S, K,) which extends along the ground like ropes, (Ibn-Ziyád, AHn, K,) in the same manner as the قُطْب, but having no thorns that hurt any one: (Ibn-Ziyád, AHn:) Az says that it is a well-known plant, seen by him in the desert; that it fattens the camels, and makes their milk plentiful; and that it is mentioned by IAar and others among the plants of the desert: ↓ شِرْشِرَةٌ is expl. in the K as though it were the name of another plant; but it is not so; for شِرْشِرٌ is the pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] thereof: it is a herb smaller than the عَرْفَج, having a yellow flower, and twigs, or shoots, and large dust-coloured leaves: it grows in plain, or soft, ground; and spreads wide, as though it were ropes, by reason of length, of the measure of a man in a standing posture; and has berries (حَبّ), like those of the هَرَاس. (TA.) A2: شِوَآءٌ شَرْشَرٌ Roasted flesh-meat, of which the grease, or gravy, drips; (S, K;) like شَلْشَلٌ and رَشْرَاشٌ. (TA.) شِرْشِرٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

شَرْشَرَةٌ, ('Ináyeh, and so in some copies of the K,) or ↓ شُرْشُرَةٌ, (so in other copies of the K, accord. to the TA,) sing. of شَرَاشِرُ, (K,) which signifies The fringe-like extremities of a tail; (S, * K, * A, TA;) and of wings. (TA.) b2: Hence, metaphorically, [or synecdochically,] the pl. is used as signifying (tropical:) The whole: and hence the saying, أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ شَرَاشِرَهُ (tropical:) He betook himself altogether to it; as though, says As, by reason of his eagerness, he threw himself altogether upon it: accord. to EshShiháb, it means he betook himself [to it], openly or secretly: or شَرَاشِرُ signifies (assumed tropical:) the whole body; (K;) and القى عليه شراشره and أَجْرَانَهُ and أَجْرَامَهُ, provs. mentioned by Meyd, all signify the same [app. (assumed tropical:) he threw upon it the weight of his body: see Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 409 and 410: and see art. جرم]: or the first of these means (assumed tropical:) he loved it so that he courted death, or destruction, (اِسْتَهْلَكَ,) in his love of it: (TA:) or he loved it with a love that he would not give up, because of his necessity: (Lth, TA:) or (tropical:) he desired it inordinately, or eagerly, and loved it. (A.) [See also أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَرْوَاقَهُ, voce رَوْقٌ. Accord. to different authorities,] شَرَاشِرُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) Burdens, or weights; (S, K;) sing. شَرْشَرَةٌ: (S:) and it is so expl. as used in the saying mentioned above: or it there signifies (assumed tropical:) weight, and whole person: or the reduplication implies intensiveness; as though this word originally signified weight of evil: but F, in his comments on the Preface of the Ksh, objects to this, as the word does not imply the contr. of خَيْرٌ, but dispersion.

Hence] قُدَّ فُلَانٌ قَدَّ السَّيْفِ [Such a one was shaped with the shaping of the sword] means (tropical:) such a one was made goodly, or beautiful, in respect of التَّقْطِيع [i. e. conformation, or proportion, &c., like as is the sword]. (S, O, L, TA.) [See also قَدٌّ, below.] b6: And قُدّ means also (assumed tropical:) He suffered a pain [app. what may be termed a cutting pain] in the belly, called قُدَاد.

(L, from a trad.) 4 اقدّ عَلَيْهِ, said of food, (assumed tropical:) It occasioned him a pain in the belly, termed قُدَاد. (IKtt, TA.) 5 تَقَدَّّ see 7. b2: تقدّد said of a garment, or piece of cloth, It was, or became, much slit or rent. or ragged, or tattered, (O, K, TA,) and old and worn out.

And (assumed tropical:) It (an affair, TA) was, or became, uniform, or even in its tenour. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K, TA.) And استقدّت الإِبِلُ (assumed tropical:) The camels went on undeviatingly, in one course, way, or manner: (O, K:) so says AA. (O.) قَدْ is a noun and a particle: (S, O, Mughnee, K:) and as a noun it is used in two ways. (Mughnee, K.) b2: (I) It is a noun syn. with حَسْبُ; (S, O, Mughnee, K;) generally used indeclinably; (Mughnee, K;) thus accord. to the Basrees; with the د quiescent; (TA;) because resembling قَدْ the particle in respect of the letters composing it, and many other particles in respect of its form, (Mughnee, TA,) such as عَنْ and بَلْ &c.: (TA:) one says, قَدْ زَيْدٍ دِرْهَمٌ [The sufficiency of Zeyd (i. e. what is sufficient for Zeyd) is a dirhem], (Mughnee, K,) with the د quiescent; (Mughnee, * K, * TA;) and قَدِى (S, O) and قَدْنِى (S, O, Mughnee) [both] meaning حَسْبِى [My sufficiency (i. e. what is sufficient for me)]; (S, O;) the ن in قَدْنِى being inserted in order to preserve the quiescence [of the final letter of the noun] because this is the original characteristic of what they make indeclinable; (Mughnee;) but the insertion of the ن in this case is anomalous, for it is [by rule] only added in verbs, by way of precaution, [to prevent the confusion of the pronominal affix of the verb and that of the noun,] as in ضَرَبَنِى: (S, O:) [see, however, in the next sentence, an explanation of قَدْنِى accord. to which the ن is inserted regularly:] accord. to Yaakoob, using قَدْ in the sense of حَسْبُ, one says, مَا لَكَ عِنْدِى إِلَّا هٰذَا فَقَدْ i. e. فَقَطْ [There is nothing for thee with me, or nothing due to thee in my possession, except this, and it is a thing sufficient, or it is enough, فَقَطْ being held to signify properly فَحَسْبُ, but it is commonly used as meaning and no more]; and he asserts it [i. e. قَدْ] to be a substitute [for قَطْ]: (M:) and it is also used declinably; (Mughnee, K;) thus accord. to the Koofees; (TA;) but this is rare: (Mughnee:) one says قَدُ زَيْدٍ, making it marfooa, (Mughnee, K,) like as one says حَسْبُهُ; and قَدِى without ن [as mentioned above,] like as one says حَسْبِى. (Mughnee.) b3: (2) It is also a verbal noun, syn. with يَكْفِى: one says, قَدْ زَيْدًا دِرْهَمٌ [A dirhem suffices, or will suffice, Zeyd], and قَدْنِى دِرْهَمٌ [A dirhem suffices, or will suffice, me]; (Mughnee, K;) like as one says يَكْفِى زَيْدًا دِرْهَمٌ, and يَكْفِيْنِى دِرْهَمٌ. (Mughnee, K. *) A2: As a particle, it is used peculiarly with a verb, (Mughnee, K,) [i. e.] as such it is not preposed to anything except a verb, (S, O,) either a pret. or an aor. , (TA,) from which it is not separated unless by an oath, (Mughnee,) such as is perfectly inflected, enunciative, (Mughnee, K,) not an imperative, (TA,) affirmative, and free from anything that would render it mejzoom or man-soob, and from what is termed حَرْف تَنْفِيس [i. e.

سَوْفُ and its variants]: and it has six meanings. (Mughnee, K.) b2: (1) It denotes expectation: (M, Mughnee, K:) and when it is with an aor. , this is evident; (Mughnee;) one says قَدْ يَقْدَمُ الغَائِبُ, (Mughnee, K,) meaning It is expected that the absent will come: (TA:) and most affirm that it is thus used with a pret.: (Mughnee:) accord. to some, (M,) it is used in reply to the saying لَمَّا يَفْعَلْ [i. e. “ He has not yet done ” such a thing, which implies expectation that he would do it]; (S, M, O;) the reply being, قَدْفَعَلَ [Already he has done the thing]: (M:) and Kh asserts that it is used in reply to persons expecting information; (S, M, * O, Mughnee;) [for to such] you say, قَدْ مَاتَ فَلَانٌ [Already such a one has died]; but if one inform him who does not expect it, he does not say thus, but he says [merely] مَاتَ فُلَانٌ: (S, O:) thus some say قَدْ رَكِبَ الأَمِيرُ [Already the commander has mounted his horse] to him who expects his mounting: some, however, disallow that قَدْ is used to denote expectation with the pret. because the pret. denotes what is already past; and hence it appears that those who affirm it to be so used mean that the pret. denotes what was expected before the information: (Mughnee: [in which it is added, with some other observations, that, in the opinion of its author, it does not denote expectation even with the aor. ; because the saying يَقْدَمُ الغَئِبُ denotes expectation without قَدْ:]) MF says, What we have been orally taught by the sheykhs in ElAndalus is this, that it is a particle denoting the affirmation of truth, or certainty, when it occurs before a pret., and a particle denoting expectation when it occurs before a future. (TA.) b3: (2) It denotes the nearness of the past to the present: (O, Mughnee, K:) so in the saying قَدْ قَامَ زَيْدٌ [Zeyd has just, or just now, stood; a meaning often intended by saying merely, has stood]; (Mughnee, K;) for this phrase without قد may mean the near past and the remote past; (Mughnee;) and so in the saying of the muëdhdhin, قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ [The time of the rising to prayer has just come, or simply has come]: (O:) [and, when thus used, it is often immediately preceded by the pret. or aor. of the verb كَانَ; thus you say, كَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ He had just, or simply had, gone away; and يَكُونُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ He will, or shall, have just, or simply have gone away:] and accord. to the Basrees, except Akh, it must be either expressed or understood immediately before a pret. used as a denotative of state; as in [the saying in the Kur ii. 247,] وَمَا لَنَا أَلَّا نُقَاتِلُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ وَقَدْ أُخْرِجْنَا مِنْ دِيَارِنَا وَأَبْنَائِنَا [And what reason have we that we should not fight in the cause of God when we have been expelled from our abodes and our children?]; and in [the saying in the Kur iv. 92,] أَوْ جَاؤُوكُمْ حَصِرَتْ صُدُورُهُمْ أنْ يُقَاتِلُوكَمْ [Or who come to you, their bosoms being contracted so that they are incapable of fighting you, or their bosoms shrinking from fighting you]; but the Koofees and Akh says that this is not required, because of the frequent occurrence of the pret. as a denotative of state without قَدْ, and [because] the primary rule is that there should be no meaning, or making, anything to be understood, more especially in the case of that which is in frequent use: (Mughnee:) Sb [however] does not allow the use of the pret. as a denotative of state without قَدْ; and he makes حصرت صدورهم to be an imprecation [meaning may their bosoms become contracted]: (S in art. حصر; in which art. in the present work see more on this subject:) and the inceptive لَ is prefixed to it like of the saying, إِنَّ زَيْدًا لَقَدْ قَامَ [Verily Zeyd has just stood, or has stood]; because the primary rule is that it is to be prefixed to the noun, and it is prefixed to the aor. because it resembles the noun, and when the pret. denotes a time near to the present it resembles the aor. and therefore it is allowable to prefix it thereto. (Mughnee.) [See also the two sentences next after what is mentioned below as the sixth meaning.] b4: (3) It denotes rareness, or paucity; (Mughnee, K;) either of the act signified by the verb, (Mughnee,) as in [the saying], قَدْ يَصْدُقُ الكَذُوبُ [In some few instances the habitual liar speaks truth]; (Mughnee, K;) or of what is dependent upon that act, as in [the saying in the Kur xxiv. last verse,] قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَا

أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ [as though] meaning أَنَّ مَا هُمْ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ

أَقَلُّ مَعْلُومَاتِهِ [so that it should be rendered At least He knoweth that state of conduct and mind to which ye are conforming yourselves]: but some assert that in these exs. and the like thereof it denotes the affirmation of truth, or certainty; [as will be shown hereafter;] and that the denoting of rareness, or paucity, in the former ex. is not inferred from قَدْ, but from the saying الكَذُوبُ يَصْدُقٌ. (Mughnee.) b5: (4) It denotes frequency; (Mughnee, K;) [i. e.] sometimes (S, O) it is used as syn. with رُبَّمَا [as denoting frequency, as well as with رُبَّمَا in the contr. sense, mentioned in the next preceding sentence]: (S, M, O:) thus in the saying (S, M, O, Mughnee, K) of the Hudhalee, (M, Mughnee,) or 'Abeed Ibn-El-Abras, (IB, TA,) قَدْ أَتْرُكُ القِرْنَ مُصْفَرًّا أَنَامِلُهُ [Often I leave the antagonist having his fingers' ends become yellow]. (S, M, O, Mughnee, K.) b6: (5) It denotes the affirmation of truth, or certainty: thus in [the saying in the Kur xci. 9,] قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا [Verily, or certainly, or indeed, or really, he prospereth, or will prosper, who purifieth it; (namely, his soul;) each pret. here occupying the place of a mejzoom aor. ]: (Mughnee, K:) and thus accord. to some in [the saying in the Kur xxiv. last verse, of which another explanation has been given above,] قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ [Verily, or certainly, &c., He knoweth that state of conduct and mind to which ye are conforming yourselves]. (Mughnee.) b7: (6) It denotes negation, (Mughnee, K,) accord. to ISd, (Mughnee,) occupying the place of مَا, (M,) in the saying, قَدْ كُنْتَ فِى خَيْرٍ فَتَعْرِفَهُ, (M, Mughnee, K,) with تعرف mansoob, [as though meaning Thou wast not in prosperity, that thou shouldst know it,] (Mughnee, K,) heard from one of the chaste in speech: (M:) but this is strange. (Mughnee.) b8: [When it is used to denote the nearness of the past to the present, as appears to be indicated by the context in the O,] قَدْ may be separated from the verb by an oath; as in قَدْ وَاللّٰهِ أَحْسَنْتَ [Thou hast, by God, done well] and قَدْ لَعَمْرِى بِتُّ سَاهِرًا [I have, by my life, or by my religion, passed the night sleepless]. (O, Mughnee. [In the latter, this and what here next follows are mentioned before the explanations of the meanings of the particle; probably because the meaning in these cases can hardly be mistaken.]) And the verb may be suppressed after it, (M, * O, Mughnee,) when its meaning is apprehended, (O,) or because of an indication; (Mughnee;) as in the saying of En-Nábighah (M, O, Mughnee) Edh-Dhubyánee, (O,) أَفِدَ التَّرَحُّلُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ رِكَابَنَا لَمَّا تَزُلْ بِرِحَالِنَا وَكَأَنْ قَدِ [The time of departure has drawn near, though the camels that we ride have not left with our utensils and apparatus for travelling, but it is as though they had (left)]; meaning كَأَنْ قَدْ زَالَتْ. (M, O, Mughnee.) b9: If you make قَدْ an اِسْم [i. e. a subst. or a proper name], you characterize it by teshdeed: therefore you say, كَتَبْتُ قَدًّا حَسَنَةً [I wrote a beautiful قد]; and so you do in the case of كَىْ and هُوَ and لَوْ; because these words have no indication of what is deficient in them [supposing them to be originally of three radical letters], therefore it is requisite to add to the last letter of each what is of the same kind as it, and this is incorporated into it: but not in the case of ا; for in this case you add ء; thus if you name a man لَا, or مَا, and then add at the end of it ا, you make it ء; for you make the second ا movent, and ا when movent becomes ء: (S, O:) so says J, [and Sgh has followed him in the O,] and such is the opinion of Akh and of a number of the grammarians of El-Basrah [and of El-Koofeh (MF)], and F has quoted this passage in the B and left it uncontradicted: but IB says, (TA,) [and after him F in the K,] this is a mistake: that only is characterized by teshdeed of which the last letter is infirm: you say, for هُوَ, (IB, K,) used as the name of a man, (IB,) هُوٌّ, (IB, K,) and for لَوْ you say لَوٌّ, and for فِى you say فِىٌّ; (IB;) and such is characterized by teshdeed only in order that the word may not be reduced to one letter on account of the quiescence of the infirm letter [which would disappear] with tenween [as it does in دَمٌ and يَدٌ &c.]: (K:) but as to قَدْ, if you use it as a name, you say قَدٌ; (IB, K;) and for مَنْ you say مَنٌ, and for عَنْ you say عَنٌ; (K;) like يَدٌ (IB, K) and دَمٌ &c.: (K:) F, however, [following IB,] is wrong in calling J's statement a mistake; though the rule given by him [and IB] is generally preferred. (MF, TA.) قَدٌّ The skin of a lamb or kid: (M, A, L, Msb, K:) or [only] of a kid: (S, O, L:) or, accord. to IDrd, a small skin, but of what kind he does not say: (M, L:) pl. (of pauc., S) أَقُدٌّ and (of mult., S) قِدَادٌ (ISk, S, M, L, Msb, K) and [of pauc. also] أَقِدَّةٌ, which is extr. (M, L.) Hence the saying, ↓ فُلَانٌ مَا يَعْرِفُ القَدَّ مِنَ القِدِّ Such a one knows not the skin of a lamb, or kid, from the thong. (A.) And hence, (O, K,) it is said in a prov., (S, M, A, O,) مَا يَجْمَلُ قَدَّكَ إِلَى أَدِيمِكَ (S, M, A, O, K) What approximates thy skin of a lamb, or kid, to thy hide [of a full-grown beast]? meaning, accord. to Th, (assumed tropical:) what makes the great to be like the little? (M: [or the little to be like the great?]) or meaning what induces thee to make thy small affair [appear] great? (S:) or what approximates thy small [affair] to thy great? (O, K:) applied to him who transgresses his proper limit; (M, O, K;) and to him who compares the contemptible with the noble. (O, K.) b2: See also قِدٌّ, in two places.

A2: Also (assumed tropical:) The measure, quantity, size, or bulk, (M, L, Msb, K,) of a thing: (M, L:) (tropical:) the conformation, or proportion, syn. تَقْطِيع, (S, M, A, O, L, K,) of a thing, (M, L,) or of a young woman, (A,) or of a man: (K:) (tropical:) the stature, syn. قَامَة, (S, A, O, L, K,) of a man: (K:) (assumed tropical:) his justness of form, or symmetry: (M, L, K:) and (assumed tropical:) his figure, person, or whole body: (M, L:) pl. [of pauc.] أَقُدٌّ (M, L, K) and أَقِدَّةٌ, (K,) which is extr., (TA,) and [of mult.] قُدُودٌ (M, L, K) and قِدَادٌ. (K.) One says, هٰذَا عَلَى قَدِّ ذَاكَ (assumed tropical:) This is equal in measure, quantity, size, or bulk, to that; is like that. (Msb.) And شَىْءٌ حَسَنُ القَدِّ (assumed tropical:) A thing goodly, or beautiful, in respect of conformation, or proportion. (L.) And جَارِيَةٌ حَسَنَةُ القَدِّ (tropical:) A young woman goodly, or beautiful, in respect of stature, and of conformation, or proportion. (A.) And غُلَامٌ حَسَنُ القَدِّ (assumed tropical:) A young man goodly, or beautiful, in respect of justness of form, or symmetry, and in person, or the whole of his body. (M, L.) A3: See, again, قِدٌّ.

A4: By the phrase يَا وَيْلَ قَدٍّ, addressed to Mikdád, in a verse of Jereer, is meant يَا وَيْلَ مِقْدَادٍ [O, woe to thee Mikdád]; the poet restricting himself to some of the letters [of the name]: an instance [more obviously] of a similar kind is سَلَّام used by El-Hoteiäh for سُلَيْمَان. (O.) قُدٌّ A certain marine fish, (O, K,) the eating of which is said to increase [the faculty of] الجِمَاع. (O.) قِدٌّ A thing that is مَقْدُود [i. e. cut in an elongated form, &c.]. (M, L.) b2: [And hence] A thong cut from an untanned skin, (S, M, * A, O, * L, Msb, K,) with which sandals or shoes are sewed, (M, * L, Msb,) and with which a captive is bound; (A;) pl. أَقُدٌّ: (S, O, L:) and [as a coll. gen. n.] thongs, cut from an untanned skin, with which camels' saddles and [the vehicles called]

مَحَامِل are bound: (M, L:) and ↓ قِدَّةٌ [of which the pl. is قِدَدٌ] is a more special term, (S, O, L,) signifying a single thong of this kind. (K.) See an ex. voce قَدٌّ. b3: And (hence, L) A whip; (O, L, K;) as also ↓ قَدٌّ. (K.) Thus in the trad., لَقَابُ قَوْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ وَمَوْضِعُ قِدِّهِ فِى الجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا, (O, * L,) or ↓ قَدِّهِ, (K,) i. e. Verily the space that would be occupied by the bow of any one of you, and the place that would be occupied by his whip, in Paradise, are better than the present [sublunary] world and what is in it: or قِدّه may here have the meaning next following. (L.) b4: A sandal; because cut in an elongated form from the skin: (O, L:) or a sandal not stripped of the hair, in order that it may be more pliant. (IAar, O, L.) b5: And A vessel of skin. (S, O, K.) One says, مَا لَهُ قِدٌّ وَلَا قِحْفٌ He has not a vessel of skin nor a vessel of wood: (S, O, M:) or a skin nor a fragment of a drinking-cup or bowl. (M.) b6: شَدِيدُ القِدِّ occurs in a trad. as some relate it, meaning Having a strong bowstring: but accord. to others, it is ↓ شَدِيدُ القَدِّ, meaning strong in pulling the bow. (L.) قِدَّةٌ: see قِدٌّ. b2: Also A piece of a thing. (M, L.) b3: And hence, (M,) A party, division, sect, or distinct body or class, of men, holding some particular tenet, or body of tenets, creed, opinion, or opinions, (S, M, O, L, Msb, K,) accord. to some, (Msb,) of whom each has his own, (S, O, L, K,) or of which each has its own, (Msb,) erroneous opinion: (S, O, L, Msb, K:) pl. قِدَدٌ. (Msb.) Hence, كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا, (S, L, O, K,) in the Kur [lxxii. 11], (L, O,) said by the Jinn, (Fr, L,) We were parties, or sects, differing in their erroneous opinions, or in their desires: (Fr, O, L, K:) or separate [sects]; Muslims and not Muslims: (Zj:) or diverse, or discordant, or various, sects; Muslims and unbelievers. (Jel.) And one says, صَارَ القَوْمُ قِدَدًا The people became divided, or different, in their states, or conditions, and their desires, or erroneous opinions. (L.) قَدَادٌ The hedge-hog: b2: and The jerboa. (O, K.) قُدَادٌ A pain [app. what may be termed a cutting pain] in the belly. (S, M, O, L, K.) حَبَنًا وَقُدَادًا is a form of imprecation, meaning [May God inflict upon thee] dropsy, and a pain in the belly. (L.) قَدِيدٌ, (S, M, O, L, K,) or لَحْمٌ قَدِيدٌ, (Msb,) Flesh-meat cut into strips, or oblong pieces: (M, L, K:) or cut, (M,) or cut into oblong pieces, and spread, or spread in the sun, to dry: (M, L, K:) or salted, and dried in the sun: (L:) i. q. لَحْمٌ مُقَدَّدٌ: (S, O, L:) قَدِيدٌ is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ. (L.) b2: ثَوْبٌ قَدِيدٌ A garment, or piece of cloth, [slit, or rent, and] old and worn out. (S, O, L, K.) قُدَيْدٌ A small مِسْح [or garment of thick, or coarse, hair-cloth], (M, * K, * TA,) such as is worn by persons of low condition. (TA.) قَدِيدِيُّونَ, (IAth, O, K, TA,) thus accord. as a trad., in which it occurs is related, (IAth, TA,) not to be pronounced with damm, (K,) or, as some say, it is [قُدَيْدِيُّونَ, i. e.] with damm to the ق and fet-h to the [first] د, (IAth, TA,) and thus in the handwriting of Z in the “ Fáïk,” (O,) [and thus I find it in a copy of the A,] The followers of an army, consisting of handicraftsmen, (A, IAth, O, K, TA,) such as the repairer of cracked wooden bowls, and the farrier, (O, K, TA,) and the blacksmith: (O, TA:) of the dial. of the people of Syria: as though they were called by the former appellation because of the tattered state of their clothing; (O;) or by the latter as though, by reason of their low condition, they wore the small مِسْح called قُدَيْد; or from التَّقَدُّدُ, because they disperse themselves in the provinces on account of need, and because of the tattered state of their clothing; and the diminutive form denotes mean estimation of their condition: (IAth, TA:) a man (IAth, O, TA) of them (O) is reviled by its being said to him يَا قَدِيدىُّ (IAth, O, TA) and يا قُدَيْدِىُّ: (IAth, TA:) and it is commonly used in the language of the Persians also. (O.) قَيْدُودٌ A she-camel long in the back: (O, K:) but this is said to be derived from القَوْدُ, like الكَيْنُونَةُ from الكَوْنُ: (L:) [see art. قود:] pl. قَيَادِيدُ. (K. [In the O the pl. is written قَنَادِيدُ.]) مَقَدٌّ (tropical:) A road: (A, K, TA:) because it is cut: so in the phrase مَفَازَةٌ مُسْتَقِيمَةُ المَقَدِّ (tropical:) [A desert, or waterless desert, whereof the road is straight, or direct]. (A, TA.) b2: (assumed tropical:) The rima vulvæ of a woman. (M, L.) b3: (assumed tropical:) The part of the back of the neck that is between the ears. (K, L.) [A dial. var. of, or a mistake for, مَقَذٌّ.]) b4: And i. q. قَاعٌ, i. e. (assumed tropical:) An even, or a plain, place. (S, M, O, L.) مِقَدٌّ, like مِدَقٌّ [in measure], (K, [in a copy of the M, erroneously, مَقَدّ,]) or ↓ مِقَدَّةٌ, (L,) The iron instrument with which skin is cut (يُقَدُّ). (L, * K, * TA.) مِقَدَّةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مَقَدِّىٌّ Wine of El-Makadd, a town of the region of the Jordan, (K,) or, as is said in the Marásid and the Moajam, near Adhri'át, in the Howrán; (TA;) wrongly said by J to be without teshdeed to the د, for the wine called مَقَدَىٌّ is different from that called مَقَدِّىٌّ: (K:) or it is wine boiled until it is reduced to half its original quantity; likened to a thing that is divided (قُدَّ) in halves; so accord. to Rejá Ibn-Selemeh, and in the Nh and Ghareebeyn; and sometimes it is pronounced without teshdeed to the د. (TA.)
