(TA.) صَافِنَــاتٌ occurs in the Kur xxxviii. 30.

(Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) 'ObeydAlláh Ibn-Keys-er-Rukeiyát says, سَقْيًا لِحُلْوَانَ ذِى الكُرُومِ وَمَا صَنَّفَ مِنْ تِينِهِ وَمِنْ عِنَبِهْ

[May there be a sending down of rain to Hulwán, the possessor of vines, and of such as have put forth their leaves, of the fig-trees and the grape-vines thereof]: (O, K:) it is said in the K that the verb in this verse is thus, from صنّف الشَّجَرُ, not from صنّفهُ; and that J has erred in the reading that he has given; for the reading given by J, who ascribes this verse to Ibn-Ahmar, is صُنِّفَ; but this is the reading of Fr, [as is said in the O,] and both readings are correct; and of the latter, [accord. to which the meaning is, and of such as have been made to consist of various sorts or species, of the fig-trees and the grape-vines thereof,] MF says, it is that which the case requires, the commendation being for the abundance and variety of the fruits of the trees, rather than for the trees putting forth their leaves.

A2: بَجَلَ, aor. ـَ and بَجَلَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. بَجْلٌ and بُجُولٌ; He was, or became, in a good state or condition; having abundance of herbage, or of the goods or conveniences or comforts of life. (K.) b2: And He was, or became, joyful, glad, or happy. (K.) A3: [بَجَلَهُ He bled him (namely, a horse, or a camel,) by opening the vein called الأَبْجَل: so accord. to analogy; like وَدَجَهُ, meaning “he bled him by opening the vein called الوَدَج,” &c.] لَمْ يُبْجَلْ means He had not been bled in the أَبْجَل. (TA.) 2 بجّلهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. تَبْجِيلٌ, He magnified, honoured, revered, venerated, or respected, him: (S, Msb, K:) or he said to him بَجَلٌ, meaning Sufficient for thee (جَسْبُكَ) is the place [or condition or rank] which thou hast attained. (K.) 4 ابجلهُ It sufficed, or contented, him. (S, K.) b2: It rejoiced him. (TA.) بُجْلٌ: see بَجَلٌ.

بَجَلْ is a noun (Mughnee) syn. with حَسْبُ: (S, Mughnee, K: *) and is also a verbal noun syn. with يَكْفِى. (Mughnee, K. *) You say بَجَلِى (S, Mughnee, K) and بَجْلِى, (S, K,) meaning حَسْبِى

[My sufficiency, or a thing sufficing me, i. e. sufficient for me, is such a thing]: (S, Mughnee, K:) [it is said in the Ham, p. 145, as on the authority of Akh, that they do not say بَجْلى; but this is a mistranscription for بَجَلْنِى, as will be seen from what follows:] and, using it as a verbal noun, (Mughnee, K,) but this is rare, (Mughnee,) you say بَجَلْنِى, meaning يَكْفِينِى [It suffices me, or will suffice me]; (Mughnee, K;) and بَجَلْكَ, meaning يَكْفِيكَ [It suffices thee, or will suffice thee]: (K:) or, accord. to Akh, they say بَجَلْكَ, like as they say, قَطْكَ; but not بَجَلْنِى, like قَطْنِى: (S:) or the ن in بَجَلْنِى is absolutely necessary accord. to him who says that بَجَلٌ is a verbal noun; and accord. to him who says that this word is syn. with حَسْبُ, the ن is allowable. (MF.) [See, under the words قَدْ and قَطْ, what is said respecting قَدْنِى and قَطْنِى.] In the saying of Jábir Ibn-Ra-lán Es-Simbisee, لَمَّا رَأَتْ مَعْشَرًا قَلَّتْ حَمُولَتُهُمْ قَالَتْ سُعَادُ أَهٰذَا مَالُكُمْ بَجَلَا [When she saw a company whose beasts of burden were few, So'ád said, Is this your property, sufficing you?] meaning, when she saw the fewness of our camels: the last word occupies the place of a denotative of state, and is made to end thus by poetic license: Abu-l-'Alà says that this word may be put in the accus. case as meaning not exceeding what I see; or it may be for بَجَلِى, after the manner of some of the Arabs who are related, by Akh and others, to have said غُلَامَا for غُلَامِى. (Ham pp. 299 and 300.) [See also 2: and see بَجَلٌ.]

A2: It is also a particle, (Mughnee,) meaning نَعَمْ [Yes; yea; or even so].

(TA.) b2: A wonderful thing; syn. عَجَبٌ. (K.) b3: ذُو البَحَلِ denotes dispraise; meaning Content with mean things; not desirous of the means of acquiring eminence: (K:) or content that another should manage affairs in his stead, and that he should be a burden upon others, saying, Sufficient for me (حَسْبِى [or بَجَلِى]) is that [state or condition] wherein I am: (O, TA:) from a saying of Luk-mán Ibn-'Ád; (O, K;) as is also ذُو البَجْلَةِ, which denotes praise.

(Mgh.) بَجِيلٌ: see بَجَالٌ. b2: Also Gross, big, thick, coarse, or rough; applied to anything. (K.) b3: أَمْرٌ بَجِيلٌ An affair, an event, or a case, deemed strange, or evil, and great, or formidable. (TA.) خَيْرٌ بَجِيلٌ Ample, abundant, good or wealth or prosperity.

(Ham ubi suprà, TA.) You say, فَصَدَ

أَبْجَلَهُ [He opened his ابجل]; i. e., the horse's or the camel's. (TA.) And one says of a swift horse, هُوَ وَاهِى الأَبَاجِلِ [He is lax in the اباجل]. (Ham ubi suprà.) مُبّجَّلٌ: see بَجَالٌ.
