(K, TA.) دَهْرٌ (T, S, M, K, &c.) and ↓ دَهَرٌ, (M, K,) the latter either a dial. var., agreeably with the opinion of the Basrees in cases of this kind, and therefore such cases are limited by the authority of hearsay, or it is so written and pronounced because of the guttural letter, and so is accordant to a universal rule, agreeably with the opinion of the Koofees, (ISd,) Time, from the beginning of the world to its end; (Esh-Sháfi'ee, Az, Msb, Er-Rághib;) as also حِينٌ: (Esh-Sháfi'ee, Az:) this is the primary signification: (Er-Rághib:) and any long period of time; (Z, Mgh, K, Er-Rághib;) thus differing from زَمَانٌ, which will be explained below: (Er-Rághib:) and a portion of the longest period of time: (Az:) or دَهْرٌ signifies, (S, A,) or signifies also, (Az, Msb,) time; or a time; or a space, or period, of time; syn. زَمَانٌ, (Sh, Az, S, A, Mgh, Msb,) whether long or short: (Msb:) or this is the proper signification of زَمَانٌ, but not of دَهْرٌ: (Er-Rághib:) and (tropical:) a division of the year: and (tropical:) a less period: (Az, Msb:) Az says, I have heard more than one of the Arabs say, أَقَمْنَا عَلَى مَآءِ كَذَا دَهْرًا [We stayed at such a water a long time, or a time]; and هٰذَا المَرْعَى يَكْفِينَا دَهْرًا [This pasture-land will suffice us a long time, or a time]; but one does not say that الدَّهْرُ is four times, or four seasons, because its application to (tropical:) a short period of time is tropical, and an extension of its proper signification: (Msb:) or it signifies i. q. أَبَدٌ [meaning a long unlimited time; or an extended indivisible space of time; or duration without end; time without end]; (S, Msb;) it differs from زَمَانٌ in having no end: (Khálid Ibn-Yezeed:) or a prolonged, or lengthened, term; syn. أَبَدٌ مَمْدُودٌ: (K, in some copies of which, in the place of ابد, we find أَمَد:) and (tropical:) the period, or duration, of life; an age: (Kull p. 183:) the present state of existence: (Msb:) and (assumed tropical:) a thousand years: (K:) pl. [of pauc.] أَدْهُرٌ (K) and [of mult.] دُهُورٌ: (S, A, K:) both said to be pls. of دَهْرٌ, and no other pls. are known as those of دَهَرٌ; the form أَدْهَارٌ not having been heard. (TA.) b2: You say مَضَى عَلَيْهِ دَهْرٌ and دُهُورٌ [A long time and long times, or an age and ages, &c., passed over him, or it]. (A.) b3: And كَانَ ذٰلِكَ دَهْرَ النَّجْمِ That was in the time of God's creation of the stars; meaning, in the beginning of time; in ancient time. (A.) b4: [And فِى أَوَّلِ الدَّهْرِ In the beginning of time. (A.) b5: [And يَبْقَى الدَّهْرَ It remains for ever. b6: And لَا آتِيهِ الدَّهْرَ I will not come to him, ever. See also دَاهِرٌ.] b7: And صَامَ الدَّهْرَ [He fasted ever, or always]. (TA in art. اول, &c. [See a trad. cited voce آلَ, in that art.]) b8: [Hence, because, in one sense, time brings to pass events, good and evil,] الدَّهْرُ was applied by the Arabs to Fortune; or fate: and they used to blame and revile it: and as the doing so was virtually blaming and reviling God, since events are really brought to pass by Him, Mohammad forbade their doing thus. (Az, Mgh, TA, &c.) It is said in a trad., لَا تَسُبُّوا الدَّهْرَ فَإِنَّ الدَّهْرَ هُوَ اللّٰهُ, (S, Mgh, TA, &c.,) or, accord. to one reading, فَإِنَّ اللّٰهُ هُوَ الدَّهْرُ, (Az, Mgh, TA, &c.,) in which some explain الدهر in the first proposition as having a different meaning from that which it has in the second, whereas others assign to it the same meaning in both cases: (TA:) the meaning of the trad. is, Revile ye not [fortune, or] the Efficient of fortune; for the Efficient of fortune is God: (Az, S, TA, &c.:) or, accord. to the second reading, for God is the Efficient of fortune. (TA.) Hence, (TA,) some reckon الدَّهْرُ as one of the names of God: (K, &c.:) but some disallow this: and some say that it is allowable if meant to signify, as rendered above, the Efficient of fortune. (TA, &c.) b9: زَوْجُ دَهْرٍ A husband prepared for the accidents or calamities of fortune. (S in art. بهر. [See بَهْرٌ.]) b10: دَهْرٌ also signifies An evil event or accident; a misfortune; a calamity. (K.) See also دَهَارِيرُ.

[And see 1.] b11: Also A purpose; an intention: (S, K:) a desire: (TA:) the scope, or end that one has in view. (K, TA.) You say, مَا دَهْرِى

بِكَذَا, (S, TA,) and مَا دَهْرِى كَذَا, (TA,) My purpose, or intention, (S, TA,) and my desire, and my scope, or the end that I have in view, (TA,) is not such a thing. (S, TA.) b12: Also (tropical:) A custom, or habit, (S, K,) that is constant, or permanent, (Kull p. 183,) or that lasts throughout life. (TA.) You say, مَا ذَاكَ بِدَهْرِى (tropical:) That is not my custom, or habit, (S,) that lasts throughout my life: (TA:) and مَا دَهْرِى بِكَذَا (tropical:) My habit throughout life is not so. (TA.) دَهَرٌ: see دَهْرٌ.

دَهْرِىٌّ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ دُهْرِىٌّ (K) One who deviates from the truth, and introduces into it that which does not belong to it, syn. مُلْحِدٌ; (S, A;) who asserts that the duration of the present world is from eternity, (A, Msb,) or that it is everlasting, (K,) and does not believe in the resurrection, (Msb,) or in the world to come. (TA.) b2: And the latter, (S, A, Msb, K,) or the former, (IAmb,) An old, or aged, man. (IAmb, S, A, Msb, K.) Th says that both are rel. ns. from الدَّهْرُ, though the latter is contr. to rule, [as is also remarked in the Msb,] like سُهْلِىٌّ from الأَرْضُ السَّهْلَةُ. (S.) b3: Some say also that the latter signifies An acute, or ingenious, or expert, man. (TA.) دُهْرِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

دِهْرَارٌ: see دَهَارِيرُ.

دُهرُورٌ: see دَهَارِيرُ.

دِهْرِيرٌ: see دَهَارِيرُ.

دَهيِرٌ: see دَاهِرٌ.

دَهَارِيرُ, a pl. without a sing.; (K, TA;) or its sing. is ↓ دَهْرٌ, like as the sing. of مَذَاكِيرُ is ذَكَرٌ, and that of مَشَابِهُ, شَبَهٌ; or its sing. is ↓ دُهْرُورٌ, or ↓ دِهْرَارٌ, [in the TA written by mistake دهرات,] or ↓ دِهْرِيرٌ; (TA;) Misfortunes; calamities: as in the phrase وَقَعَ فِى الدَّهَارِيرِ He fell into misfortunes, or calamities. (A, TA.) b2: Also Severe, or calamitous. (S.) It is said in a trad. of Sateeh, فَإِنَّ ذَا الدَّهْرَ أَطْوَارًا دَهَارِيرُ [For verily this age is at times calamitous]. (TA.) دَهْرٌ دَهَارِيرُ, A severe, or calamitous, age, is a phrase like لَيْلَةُ لَيْلَآءُ, and نَهَارٌ أَنْهَرُ, &c.: (S:) [see also دَاهِرٌ:] and it also signifies a time of two states, adverse and prosperous: (TA:) and دُهُورٌ دَهَارِيرٌ, various, or varying, times: (K:) or long times. (A.) [See دَاهِرٌ.] b3: Also دَهَارِيرُ [or rather, as IbrD says, دَهْرُ الدَّهَارِيرِ, for this has the signification immediately following,] The beginning of time past: and [absolutely] preceding, or past, time. (K, TA.) You say كَانَ ذٰلِكَ فِى

دَهْرِ الدَّهَارِيرِ [That was in the beginning of past time: or in the time of by-gone ages]. (TA.) دَهْرٌ دَاهِرٌ (S, K) and ↓ دَهْرٌ دَهِيرٌ (K) are phrases in which the epithet has an intensive effect, [meaning A long, or an endless, period, or course, of time,] (K,) like أَبَدٌ أَبِيدٌ (S, TA) and أَبَدٌ آبِدٌ: (TA:) or a severe, or calamitous, age. (TA.) [See also دَهَارِيرُ.] b2: لَا آتِيكَ دَهْرَ الدَّهِرِينَ I will not come to thee, ever: (S, K:) similar to the phrase أَبَدَ الآبِدِينَ. (TA.) هُمْ مَدْهُورٌ بِهِمٌ, and مَدْهُورُونَ, They are afflicted with an evil event. (K.)

ضرب

1 ضَرَبَهُ, aor. ـِ (S, O, K, &c.,) inf. n. ضَرْبٌ, (S, O, &c.,) [He beat, struck, smote, or hit, him, or it;] and ↓ ضرّبهُ [signifies the same in an intensive sense, i. e. he beat, &c., him, or it, much, or violently; or in a frequentative sense, i. e. several, or many, times: or rather ضرّب is used in relation to several, or many, objects, as will be shown in what follows]: (K:) accord. to Er-Rághib, الضَّرْبُ signifies the making a thing to fall upon another thing; and, as some say, the making it to fall with violence, or vehemence. (TA.) You say, ضَرَبَهُ بِهِ [He struck him, or it, with it], i. e. with a sword, (A, Mgh, Msb), &c. (A, Msb.) And تَضْرِبُ فِى حَدِيدٍ بَارِدٍ [Thou beatest upon cold iron]: a prov. [expl. in art. حد]. (Har p. 633.) And ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا سَوْطًا, meaning بِسَوْطٍ [i. e. I struck Zeyd with a whip], or ضَرْبَةَ سَوْطٍ [a stroke of a whip]: (M in art. سوط, q. v.:) and ضَرَبَهُ مِائَةَ سَوْطٍ [He struck him a hundred strokes of the whip]. (S and K in art. سحل, &c.) And ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ [I smote his neck, meaning I beheaded him]; and الأَعْنَاقَ ↓ ضَرَّبْتُ [I smote the necks, meaning I struck off the heads]; the teshdeed denoting muchness [of the action] or multiplicity [of the objects]: Az says that, when the object is one, the Arabs use only the former verb, without teshdeed; but when there is a plurality of objects, either of the verbs; (Msb;) [so that] one says, ضَرَبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ [They smote their necks, or beheaded them], and أَمَرَ الرِّقَابِ ↓ بِتَضْرِيبِ [He gave the order to smite the necks, or to strike off the heads]: (A:) فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ in the Kur xlvii. 4 is originally فَاضْرِبُوا الرِّقَابَ ضَرْبًا [meaning Then do ye smite the necks, i. e. strike off the heads]; (Bd;) the inf. n. being here put for its verb. (Jel.) [Respecting the phrase هُوَ الْيَضْرِبُكَ, see 1 in art. جدع.] b2: [Hence a variety of meanings and phrases here following.]

b3: ضَرَبَ كَلْبَهُ عَلَى الصَّيْدِ (assumed tropical:) [He beat, or disciplined, or trained, his dog for the purpose of the chase]: whence the phrases ضَرَبَ عَلَيْهِ جِرْوَتَهُ and ضَرَبَ جِرْوَةَ نَفْسِهِ and ضَرَبْتُ جِرْوَتِى عَنْهُ [expl. voce جِرْوَةٌ]. (Z, and TA in art. جرو.) b4: لَا تُضْرَبُ

أَكْبَادُ الإِبِلِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ (assumed tropical:) Camels shall not be ridden, save to three mosques: [namely, that of Mekkeh, that of El-Medeeneh, and that of El-Aksà at Jerusalem:] a trad. (TA. [See also 4 in art. عمل.]) b5: [ضَرَبَ بِهِ الأَرْضَ, lit. He smote with him, or it, the ground; meaning (assumed tropical:) he cast, threw, or flung, him, or it, upon the ground. And ضَرَبَ بِسَلْحِهِ الأَرْضَ (assumed tropical:) He cast forth his excrement, or ordure, upon the ground.] and [hence] ضَرَبَ الأَرْضَ and الغَائِطَ (tropical:) He voided excrement, or ordure; (A, TA;) and so الخَلَآءَ. (TA.) [ضَرَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ الأَرْضَ see expl. in the latter half of this paragraph.] b6: ضَرَبْتُ القَوْسَ بِالمِضْرَبِ I struck the string of the bow with the wooden implement [or mallet] used in separating cotton. (Msb.) b7: ضَرَبَ العُودَ [He struck the chords of the lute; meaning he played upon the lute; and so ضَرَبَ بِالعُودِ]. (S.) b8: ضَرَبَ الوَتِدَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, He beat [or knocked or struck] the tent-peg, or stake, so that it became firm in the ground. (Lh, TA.) And [hence] ضَرَبَ الخَيْمَةَ (tropical:) He pitched the tent, by knocking in its pegs with a mallet: (Kull p. 231:) or he set up the tent. (Msb.) b9: ضَرَبَ الدِّرْهَمَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, (tropical:) He struck, coined, or minted, the dirhem, or piece of money. (TA.) And ضَرَبَ عَلَى اسمِهِ (assumed tropical:) [He struck, coined, or minted, money in his name]. (ISd, TA in art. جوز.) b10: ضَرَبَ عَلَى

المَكْتُوبِ (tropical:) He sealed, or stamped, the writing. (A, * TA.) [And ضَرَبَ عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He erased it; namely, anything written.] b11: ضَرَبَ الطِّينَ عَلَى

الجِدَارِ (assumed tropical:) [He stuck, or applied, the mud upon the wall, as a plaster]. (TA.) b12: Hence, accord. to some, the phrase ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ, in the Kur ii. 58, considered as meaning (assumed tropical:) Vileness was made to cleave to them: or the meaning is, (assumed tropical:) encompassed them, like as the tent encompasses him over whom it is pitched. (Ksh, Bd.) And [in like manner] one says, ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ضَرِيبَةٌ (tropical:) An impost, of the tax called جِزْيَة, &c., was imposed upon them. (A, * Mgh, Msb. *) And ضَرَبَ عَلَى

آذَانِهِمْ [in the Kur xviii. 10] means (tropical:) We prevented their sleeping; (K, TA;) as though by putting a covering over their ears; a metonymical [and elliptical] mode of saying we made them to sleep by preventing any sound from penetrating into their ears, in consequence of which they would have awoke: (Zj, L, TA:) or ضَرَبَ عَلَى آذَانِهِمْ means (assumed tropical:) he poured upon them sleep so that they slept and did not awake: and one says also, ضَرَبْتُ النَّوْمَ عَلَى أُذُنِهِ [meaning (assumed tropical:) I poured sleep upon him by closing his ear].

(A.) In the L and other lexicons it is said that ضَرَبْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِى الشَّرِّ means I caused them to become confused [or I involved them] in evil or mischief. (TA. [And ضرّبت بَيْنَهُمْ has a similar meaning: see 2.]) And ضُربَتِ الشَّاةُ بِلَوْنِ كَذَا means The sheep, or goat, was intermixed with such a colour. (L, TA.) b20: ضَرَبَ الشَّجَرُ بِعُرُوقِهِ فِى الأَرْضِ [The trees struck their roots into the earth].

(Har pp. 465 and 553.) One says also, ضَرَبَ فِى الجَزُورِبِسَهْمٍ

meaning (assumed tropical:) He obtained a share, or portion, of the slaughtered camel. (Mgh.) And hence the saying of El-Hareeree, وَضَرَبْتُ فِى مَرْعَاهَا بِنَصِيبٍ (assumed tropical:) [and I obtained a share of its pasture]. (Mgh.) and the lawyers say, يَضْرِبُ فِيهِ بِالثُّلُثِ i. e.

[And ضَرَبَ يَدَيْهِ فِى المَالِ a phrase expl. to me by IbrD as meaning (assumed tropical:) He busied his hands with the property, in the giving, or dispensing of it.] b25: ضَرَبَ عَلَى يَدِهِ (assumed tropical:) [He struck his (i. e. another man's) hand; meaning] he struck, or made, the bargain with him; or ratified the sale with him: for it is a custom, when two persons are bargaining together, for one of them to put his hand upon the other's in ratifying the bargain. (TA, from a trad.) b26: And (tropical:) He prohibited, or prevented, or hindered, him, from doing a thing, or from doing a thing that he had begun: (TA:) and [in like manner]

ضَرَبَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ (tropical:) he withheld, or restrained, him, or it. (K, TA.) And (i. e. the former phrase) (tropical:) He (the judge, A, Mgh, TA) prohibited, or interdicted, him from the using, or disposing of, his property according to his own free will. (S, A, Mgh, Msb, TA.) b27: Also (tropical:) He corrupted, vitiated, marred, or disordered, his affair, or case, or state. (A, Msb, TA.) b28: ضَرَبَ عَنْهُ (assumed tropical:) He turned away a person or thing from him [or it]; as also ↓ اضرب: (TA:) [or] ↓ اضرب عنه signifies, (S, Msb,) or signifies also, (TA,) and (Msb, TA) so does ضَرَبَ عنه, (Msb, K, TA,) [the latter app. for ضَرَبَ نَفْسَهُ عَنْهُ,] (assumed tropical:) He turned away from, avoided, shunned, or left, him, or it; (S * Msb, K * TA; *) namely, a person, (TA,) or a thing.

(TA.) One says also, ضَرَبْتُ عَنْهُ صَفْحًا meaning (assumed tropical:) I turned away from him and left him. (S and TA in art. صفح: see 1 in that art.)

(IAar, O and K in art. طبع.) And هٰذِهِ ضَرِيبَتُهُ الَّتِى ضُرِبَ عَلَيْهَا, and ضُرِبَهَا, and ضُرِبَ alone, [for ضُرِبَ عَلَيْهَا,] meaning طُبِعَ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) This is his nature, with an adaptation, or a disposition, to which he was moulded, or created; or to which he was adapted, or disposed, by creation]. (Lh, TA.)

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا أَصْحَابَ الْقَرْيَةِ (assumed tropical:) [And propound thou to them a parable, the people of the town] i. e., the story of the people of the town, [or make thou to them a parable, or similitude, or an example, the people of the town;] مثلا may be in the accus. case as an objective complement, اضحاب القرية being a substitute for مثلا; or اصحاب القرية may be regarded as a second objective complement [i. e. second in the order of the words, but first in the order of the sense]: the phrase is differently expl. on account of the different meanings of the verb ضَرَبَ; which signifies he described, or rehearsed; and he declared, propounded, or explained; and he made, caused to be, or constituted; &c.; accord. to some, it is taken from the phrase ضَرَبَ الدِرْهَمَ [q. v.]; because of the impression which a parable or the like makes upon the mind: accord. to some, from ضَرِيبٌ signifying “ a like; ” because the first thing is made like the second: accord. to some, from ضَرَبَ الطِّينَ عَلَى الجِدَارِ [q. v.; because the mud, applied as a plaster, conforms to the shape of the wall]: and accord. to some, from ضَرَبَ الخَاتَمَ [q. v.]; because of the correspondence between a parable or the like and the object to which it is applied, and the correspondence between the signet and its impression.

(Mgh, Msb. *) b37: ضَرَبَ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا (assumed tropical:) He assigned to them, or made for them, a way; syn. جَعَلَ. (MA. [App. from a phrase in the Kur xx. 79, q. v.]) b38: الضَّرْبُ as a conventional term of the accountants, or arithmeticians, means The multiplying a number by another number; (Mgh, Msb;) as when you say, [ضَرَبَ خَمْسةً فِى سِتَّةٍ He multiplied five by six; and] خَمْسَةٌ فِى سِتَّةٍ بِثَلَاثِينَ [Five multiplied by six is thirty]. (Msb.) b39: ضَرَبَ [is often intrans., and thus] signifies also تَحَرَّكَ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) It was, or became, in a state of commotion, &c.]: (K:) [see also 8, which is more commonly used in this sense:] or, so with strength, or force. (TA.)

It is said in a trad. of 'Alee, When such and such things shall happen, (mentioning faction, or sedition, or the like,) ضَرَبَ يَعْسُوبُ الدِّينِ بِذَنَبِهِ, meaning, accord. to AM, (assumed tropical:) The leader of the religion shall hasten to go away through the land, fleeing from the faction, or sedition: or, as some say, shall go away hastily through the land, with his followers.

أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ لَمَضْرَبًا i. e. ضَرْبًا [Verily I have to make a journey for the sake of, or on account of, a thousand dirhems]. (S, TA: but in my copies of the S, لى is omitted.)

(TA.) 3 ضاربهُ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. مُضَارَبَةٌ (Msb, TA) and ضَرَابٌ, He contended with him in beating, striking, smiting, or hitting; he beat him, &c., being beaten, &c., by him; (TA;) [he returned him beating for beating, blow for blow, or blows for blows; he bandied, or exchanged, blows with him: and] he contended with him in fight. (S, TA.) One says, ↓ ضاربهُ فَضَرَبَهُ, aor. of the latter verb ضَرُبَ, (K, TA,) agreeably with the general rule respecting verbs signifying the surpassing, or overcoming, in a contest, (MF, TA,) He contended with him in beating, &c., and he surpassed him, or overcame him, therein. (K, * TA.) See also 6. b2: [Golius says, as on the authority of the KL, that ضارب signifies also “ Coivit camelus; ” and Freytag, as on the authority of the K, that it signifies “ inivit camelus camelam: ” but in the KL it is only said that ضَرَابٌ is an inf. n. of a verb having this meaning; and its verb in this sense, as is said in the S and A and Msb and K, is ضَرَبَ, which has been thus expl. in the first paragraph.] b3: ضارب فِى المَالِ and بِالمَالِ, inf. n. مُضَارَبَةٌ, means (tropical:) He trafficked with the property.

(TA.) b3: اضرب عَنْهُ: see 1, near the middle of the paragraph, in two places. [اضرب عَنِ الأَمْرِ is expl. in a copy of the A as meaning عَرَّفَ عَنْهُ, and in the TA, (probably from that copy of the A, as I have reason to believe that it was used by the author of the TA,) is expl. by عرف عنه; but the right reading is indubitably عَزَفَ عَنْهُ, with the dotted ز; meaning (tropical:) He turned away from the thing, or affair; a signification given in the first paragraph: it is said in the A to be tropical. And اضرب عَنْهُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) He digressed from it; made a digression, or transition, from it; namely, a subject of speech or discourse: and particularly (assumed tropical:) he turned from it and retracted it.] b4: اضرب الرَّجُلُ فِى البَيْتِ: see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph. b5: اضرب signifies also (tropical:) He was silent; he spoke not: or he lowered his eyes, looking towards the ground: syn. أَطْرَقَ.

(MA.) One says, العَبْدَانِ ↓ اضطرب بِالعَصَوَيْنِ, meaning The two slaves beat each other with the two sticks, or staves. (Mgh.) 8 اضطرب: see 6, in two places. The inf. n. is اِضْطِرَابٌ, of which the dim. is ↓ ضُتَيْرِيبٌ, the ط being changed [back] into ت because the ض becomes movent.

And اضطرب الوَلَدُ بِالبَطْنِ [The child was, or became, in a state of commotion in the belly]; (A;) And فِى ↓ تضرّب البَطْنِ [which means the same]. (TA.) and اضطرب البَرْقُ فِى السَّحَابِ The lightning was, or became, in a state of commotion in the clouds; [or it flickered therein;] syn. تَحَرَّكَ. (TA.) and اضطرب فِى أُمُورِهِ He went to and fro occupied in his affairs for the means of subsistence: (Mgh:) and اضطرب, alone, signifies he sought to gain; or applied himself with art and diligence to gain; syn. اِكْتَسَبَ; (K, TA;) and is used by ElKumeyt with المَجْدَ as its objective complement. (TA. [See also يَضْرِبُ المَجْدَ, in the latter half of the first paragraph.]) And اضطرب الرَّجُلُ (assumed tropical:) The man was tall, and therewithal loose, lax, flabby, uncompact, slack, or shaky, in make, or frame. (K, * TA.) And اضطرب حَبْلُهُمْ [properly, Their rope was shaky, loose, or slack; meaning] (assumed tropical:) their word, or sentence, or saying, varied, or was discordant: (K:) or their words, or sayings, [conflicted, or] varied, or were discordant: and so أَقْوَالُهُمْ [their sayings].

(Msb voce شَجَرَ, q. v.) A2: اضطرب خَاتَمًا (assumed tropical:) He asked, or ordered, that a signet-ring should be made, fashioned, or moulded, for him: (K, * TA: [see also 4:]) occurring in a trad.

(TA. in art. طرق.) A2: استضرب العَسَلُ The honey became ضَرَبَ; (S;) i. e., became thick; (A;) or became white and thick: (S, K:) the verb in this sense is similar to اِسْتَنْوَقَ in relation to a he-camel, and اِسْتَتْيَسَت in relation to a she-goat. (S.) ضَرْبٌ an inf. n. used in the sense of a pass. part. n.; (TA;) i. q. ↓ مَضْرُوبٌ [Beaten, struck, &c.]: (K, TA:) in some of the copies of the K, it is made the same as ضَرْبٌ signifying “ a species ” &c.: but this is a mistake. (TA.) One says دِرْهَمٌ ضَرْبٌ (tropical:) [A coined dirhem]; using the inf. n. as an epithet, as in the phrases مَآءٌ غَوْرٌ and مَآءٌ سَكْبٌ. (S.) And هٰذَا دِرْهَمٌ ضَرْبَ الأَمِيرِ, in which ضرب may be thus put in the accus. case as an inf. n., [the meaning being هٰذَا دِرْهَمٌ مَضْرُوبٌ ضَرْبَ الأَمِيرِ (tropical:) This is a dirhem coined with the coining of the prince,] which is the most common way. (L, TA.) b2: (tropical:) A light rain; (S, K, TA;) or so مَطَرٌ ضَرْبٌ: (A:) دِيمَةٌ signifies “ a lasting, or continuous, and still, rain; ” and ضَرْبٌ, a little more than دِيمَةٌ, or a little above this: and ↓ ضَرْبَةٌ [as the n. un.] signifies a fall, or shower, of light rain.

أُمُورِهِ: and see also the syns. مُرَاغَمٌ (in two places) and مُنْتَفَدٌ.] b3: [It is also a pass. part. n.: and hence the phrase مُضْطَرَبَاتٌ لِلْمَعَاشِ, meaning The things that are desired to be gained for subsistence, or sustenance: see مَرَاغِبُ.]

ضيع

1 ضَاعَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. ضَيَاعٌ and ضَيْعَةٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and ضَيْعٌ and ضِيعٌ, (K,) It (a thing, S, Mgh, O, Msb) perished, came to nought, passed away, or became lost. (S, O, Msb, K.) It is said in a trad. of Saad, إِنِّى أَخَافُ عَلَى

الأَعْنَابِ الضَّيْعُةَ i. e. [Verily I fear, for the grapes,] their [lit. the] perishing, or becoming lost. (TA.) b2: And ضاع, (K, TA,) inf. n. ضَيَاعٌ and ضَيْعَةٌ, (TA,) It (a thing) was left; left, or let, alone; or neglected. (K, TA.) Hence, ضاعت الإِبِلُ, and ضاع العِيَالُ, The camels, and the family, or household, were left untended, and unminded; and were left alone, or neglected. (TA.) A2: ضاع, aor. ـِ said of perfume, or sweet odour, i. q. ضاع having for its aor. ـُ (Har p. 670.) [See 5 in art. ضوع: and see also 5 in the present art.]2 ضيّع الشَّىْءَ, (O, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَضْيِيعٌ; (S;) and ↓ اضاعهُ, (O, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِضَاعَةٌ; (S;) both signify the same; (S, O, Msb, K;) He made, or caused, the thing to perish, or become lost; he destroyed it, wasted it, or lost it. (Msb, K, TA.) Hence, ضَيَّعُوا فُلَانًا is used by the vulgar as meaning They beheaded such a one with the sword. (TA.) It is said in a prov., الصَّيْفَ ضَيَّعْتِ اللَّبَنَ [In the spring, or in the summer, thou losedst the milk], in which the ت is with kesr when the words are addressed to a male, or to a female, or to a pl. number, because originally addressed to a woman, the wife of a wealthy man, whom she disliked because of his being aged, wherefore he divorced her, and a poor man married her, and she sent to her first husband requesting a gift, and he answered her thus; (S, O, K; *) الصيف being in the accus. case as an adv. n.: so says Yaakoob: (S, O:) or El-Aswad Ibn-Hurmuz divorced his wife El-' Anood Esh-Shenneeyeh, (O, K,) of the BenooShenn, (TA,) preferring to her a beautiful and wealthy woman of his people; (O, K; *) then there occurred between them what led to their separation, and he sought to obtain [again] El-' Anood, and sent a message to her; but in replying to him she said, أَنْشَأْتَ تَطْلُبُ وَصْلَنَا فِى الصَّيْفِ ضَيَّعْتَ اللَّبَنْ [Thou hast begun to seek our union: in the spring, or in the summer, thou losedst the milk]: (O, * K:) the ت in this case being with fet-h. (K. [See more in Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 197-8, or in Har p. 577; in both of which, however, and in the O, ضيّعت is with kesr in the latter case, as in the former.]) [One says also, ضيّع عَهْدَهُ, meaning He broke his compact, contract, or covenant]. The phrase, in a trad., نَهَى عَنْ المَالِ ↓ إِضَاعَةِ means He forbade the expending of wealth otherwise than in obedience to God, and the squandering thereof, and extravagance. (TA.) b2: See also the next paragraph.4 اضاع الشَّىْءَ: see 2, first sentence, and last but one. b2: Also, [and app. ↓ ضيّعهُ likewise, accord. to the K,] He left the thing; left it, or let it, alone; or neglected it. (K, TA.) Yousay, اضاع عِيَالَهُ He neglected his family, or household; omitted taking good care of them, or being mindful of them. (TA.) وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِعَ

إِيمَانَكُمْ, in the Kur [ii. 138], means And God will not neglect [or make to be lost] your prayer. (TA.) أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ, in the same, [xix. 60,] means Who neglected, or omitted, prayer, (Bd, TA,) altogether: (TA:) or deferred it: (Bd:) or who performed it in other than its right time: but the first explanation is more suitable, for the unbelievers are meant thereby. (TA.) A2: اضاع [is also intrans., and] may signify He found his affair to be coming to nought. (Ham p. 33.) b2: And His estates (ضِيَاعُهُ) became wide-spread, (S, O, K,) and many, or numerous. (S, O, Msb, K.) 5 تضيّع, said of the wind, It blew: because it [often] destroys that upon which it blows: so says Er-Rághib. (TA. [But it may be from what here follows.]) b2: Said of musk, It diffused its odour, or fragrance: (S, O, K;) a dial. var. of تضوّع: (S:) or an instance of substitution [of ى for و]. (O.) [See also 1, last explanation.]

مَاتَ ضِيْعًا and ضِيَعًا: see ضَيَاعٌ.

ضَيْعَةٌ an inf. n. of 1. (S, &c.) b2: See ضَيَاعٌ, below, last sentence but one. b3: Also A single case, or occasion, of perishing, coming to nought, passing away, or becoming lost; or of being left, left or let alone, or neglected. (TA.) b4: تَرَكْتُهُ بِضَيْعَةٍ means I left him unsought-after, or unminded, or unmissed. (TA. [See also a similar phrase voce ضَيَاعٌ.]) A2: Also i. q. عَقَارٌ [meaning An estate consisting of land, or of land and a house, or of a house or land yielding a revenue, or of a house and palm-trees, or the like]; (S, O, Msb, K;) and [particularly] land yielding a revenue; (K;) or with the people of the towns and villages and cultivated lands it signifies the property, of a man, consisting of palm-trees and grape-vines and land: but the Arabs [of the desert] know not the word in this sense: (Az, TA:) IF says, I do not reckon the application of this word as a name for the عَقَار to be of the original language, but think it to be an innovation in speech; and I have heard it said that this is termed a ضيعة because, when frequent attention to it is neglected, it perishes; and if it be so, this is an evidence of what we have said, that it is of the innovated speech: (O, TA:) the dim. is ↓ ضُيَيْعَةٌ, for which one should not say ضُوَيْعَةٌ: (S, O, K:) the pl. is ضِيَاعٌ and ضِيَعٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) as though the latter were a contraction of the former, (Msb,) and ضَيْعَاتٌ: (K:) accord. to Lth, the first of these pls. signifies places of alighting or abode or settlement; which are thus called because, when the paying frequent attention to them, or taking good care of them, and the keeping them, or putting them, in a good state, or state of repair, is neglected, they come to nought: and ضَيْعَاتٌ occurs in a trad. as meaning the means of subsistence. (TA.) And, (T, O, Msb, K,) as used by the Arabs [of the desert], who know not the word in any other sense than this, (T, O,) A craft, or handicraft, by which one gains his subsistence; a mode, or manner, of gain; or any habitual work or occupation of a man; (T, O, Msb, K) as the sewing of skins or boots and the like; and the twisting of ropes; and the weaving, or plaiting, of palm-leaves; and the culture of palm-trees (عَمَلُ النَّخْلِ); and the pasturing of camels; and the like thereof; (T, O;) including the sowing, or tilling, of land: (TA:) or the ضَيْعَة of the Arabs was the management, or tending, of camels and of sheep and goats: and the term includes a man's craft, or handicraft, or means of gain: (Sh, O:) and his traffic: (Sh, O, K:) one says to a man, قُمْ إِلَى ضَيْعَتِكَ [Arise to thy craft, &c.]: (Sh, O:) and كُلُّ رَجُلٍ

وَضَيْعَتَهُ, [Every man should occupy himself with his proper craft, &c.] (Msb.) أَفْشَى اللّٰهُ, ضَيْعَتَهُ, occurring in a trad., means God made or may God make, his means of subsistence to be abundant. (TA.) And one says, فَشَتْ ضَيْعَتُهُ, [or, more commonly, فَشَتْ عَلَيْهِ ضَيْعَتُهُ, as in the TA in art. فشو, &c.,] which is said to mean His property was, or became, large, or abundant, [or wide-spread,] so that he was unable to collect it together: and [hence] his means of attaining his object [or his affairs (as in the TA in art. فشو)] became disordered so that he knew not with which of them to begin: (TA:) or he took to doing an affair that did not concern him: (TA, and Ham p. 33:) it is nearly like the saying اِتَّسَعَ الخَرْقُ عَلَى الرَّاقِعِ [expl. in art. خرق]. (Ham ibid.) And إِنِّى لَأَرَى ضَيْعَةً لَا يُصْلِحُهَا إِلَّا ضَجْعَةٌ [Verily I see property that nothing but a sleep will restore to a right state] a prov.; said by a pastor whose camels had dispersed themselves, and who, desiring to collect them together, and being unable to do so, sought aid of sleep. (O.) مَاتَ ضِيعَةً: see the next paragraph.

ضَيَاعٌ an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, &c.) [Hence] one says, مَاتَ ضَيَاعًا, as also ↓ ضِيَعًا, and ↓ ضِيْعًا, and ↓ ضِيعَةٌ, He (a man, TA) died unsought-after, or unminded, or unmissed. (K, TA. [See also a similar phrase voce ضَيْعَةٌ.]) b2: Also A family, or household: (ISh, O, K:) or the meaning is عِيَالٌ ضُيَّعٌ, (Mgh, O, K, *) i. e. a family, or household, neglected, untended, and unminded; (TA;) or such as are exposed, or liable, to perish, (بِعَرَضِ أَنْ يَضِيعَ,) as young children, and those who are crippled, or deprived of the power of motion, who cannot manage their own affairs: (Mgh:) occurring in a trad., in which it is said that when a man died leaving such as are thus termed, (تَرَكَ ضَيَاعًا,) they were to be brought to the Prophet, (Mgh, O,) to be maintained by means of the government-treasury: (Mgh:) a prefixed noun is to be understood [i. e. it is for عِيَالَ ضَيَاعٍ or the like]: (Mgh:) or it is an inf. n. used as a subst. [properly thus termed]: (Mgh, O:) or, accord. to one relation of the trad., the word is ↓ ضَيْعَةً [which is likewise an inf. n., and in this case to be expl. in the same manner]: (Mgh:) if read ضِيَاعًا, it would be pl. of ضَائِعٌ. (Mgh, O.) A2: Also A sort of perfume, or odoriferous substance. (K.) ضُيَيْعَةٌ dim. of ضَيْعَةٌ, q. v. (S, O, K.) ضَائعٌ Perishing, coming to nought, passing away, or becoming lost: (Mgh, * Msb:) [and being left; left, or let, alone; or neglected:] part. n. of 1: (Mgh, Msb:) pl. ضِيَاعٌ (Mgh, O, Msb, K) and ضُيَّعٌ. (Mgh, O, * Msb, K. *) [See an ex. of the latter pl. in a verse cited voce دَانَ, in art. دين. See also سَائِعٌ, in art. سوع.] b2: and A man in a state of poverty: or having a family, or household, to sustain: or in a state of circumstances by means of which he is unable to subsist. (TA.) b3: فُلَانٌ يَأْكُلُ فِى مِعًى ضَائِعٍ means جَائِعٍ

[i. e. Such a one eats into a hungry, or an empty, gut]: and it was said to the daughters of ElKhuss, “What is the sharpest thing? (مَا أَحَدُّ شَىْء;) and she answered, نَابٌ جَائِعٌ يُلْقِى فِى

مِعًى ضَائِعٍ [A hungry canine tooth that throws the food into an empty gut]. (S.) أَضْيَعُ means أَكْثَرُ ضَيَاعًا: so in the saying, فُلَانٌ أَضْيَعُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ [Such a one is in a more perishing state than such a one]. (TA.) مُضِيعٌ act. part. n. of the trans. v. اضاع. (TA.) [See مِسْيَاعٌ, in art. سوع.]

A2: And part. n. of the intrans. v. اضاع; as such signifying One whose estates (ضِيَاعُهُ) are becoming wide-spread, and many, or numerous. (S, TA.) مَضِيعَةٌ and مَضْيَعَةٌ i. q. ضَيَاعٌ [an inf. n. of 1, q. v.]. (Mgh, O, Msb, K.) So in the saying, تَرَكَ عِيَالَهُ بِمَضِيعَةٍ or بِمَضْيَعَةٍ [He left his family, or household, in a state of perishing, &c.]. (Mgh.) So too in the saying, السَّارِقُ لَا يُقْطَعُ فِى مَالٍ

بِمَضِيعَةٍ [The thief shall not suffer amputation of his hand in the case of his stealing property in a neglected state]. (Mgh.) And so in the saying, هُوَ بِدَارِ مَضِيعَةٍ (S, * O, K) and مَضْيَعَةٍ (O, K) [He is in a place (lit. an abode) of perdition, &c.]: or as meaning in this saying, abandonment, and ignominy. (TA.) And هُوَ مُقِيمٌ بِدَارِ مَضِيعَةٍ or مَضْيَعَةٍ means [He is dwelling in the abode of indolence; or] his characteristic in his affairs is indolence. (Msb.) b2: Also, [or perhaps the latter only, as meaning A cause of perishing &c., this latter being app. of the class of مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ

&c.,] A desert, or waterless desert, that is cut off [from inhabited regions]: or, as expl. by IJ, a place in which a man perishes, or is lost. (Msb.) مُضَيِّعٌ: see what follows.

(S, M, Mgh, O.) b3: And ضافت said of a woman, aor. as above, She menstruated; (O, K;) because she who does so inclines, or declines, from a state of pureness to menstruation. (O, TA.) b4: and ضاف السَّهْمُ, (M,) or ضاف السهم عَنِ الهَدَفِ, (S, O,) The arrow turned aside from the butt: (S, M, O:) like صاف. (S, O.) And ضاف عَنِ الشَّىْءِ, inf. n. ضَوْفٌ [and ضَيْفٌ], He, or it, turned away from the thing: like صاف, inf. n. صَوْفٌ [and صَيْفٌ].

(M.) and مِنْهُ ↓ اضاف (assumed tropical:) He feared it, or was cautious of it; namely, an event, or affair; (S, M, O, K, TA;) as also ضاف مِنْهُ: (TA:) or (tropical:) he was cautious of it with the caution of one encompassed, or beset, thereby. (Z, TA.) A2: ضِفْتُهُ, (S, M, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (O, K,) inf. n. ضِيَافَةٌ, (S,) or ضَيْفٌ, (Msb,) or both; (M, O, K;) and ↓ تَضَيَّفْتُهُ; (S, M, O, K;) I alighted at his abode; (M, Msb;) and inclined to him: (M:) or I alighted at his abode (S, M, O, Msb, K) as a ضَيْف [or guest], (S, O, K,) or and became his ضَيْف [or guest]. (M, O, Msb. [See also 3.]) And ضاف القَوْمَ, and ↓ تَضَيَّفَهُمْ, He alighted at the abode of the people, or party, as a ضَيْف [or guest]. (Mgh.) And ↓ تَضَيَّفْتُهُ I came to him as a ضَيْف [or guest]. (L, TA.) b2: [Hence,] ضافهُ الهَمُّ (assumed tropical:) Anxiety befell him. (S, M, * O. [See, again, 3.]) b3: And ضِفْتُهُ signifies also I sought, or desired, of him entertainment as a ضَيْف [or guest]; and so ↓ تَضَيَّفْتُهُ; (M;) or this latter, (L, Msb,) and ↓ اِسْتَضَفْتُهُ, (M,) I asked of him such entertainment. (M, L, Msb.) 2 ضيّف, intrans.: see 1, first and second sentences.

A2: As trans.: see 4, last sentence, in four places. b2: [Hence,] ضَيَّفْتُهُ signifies also (assumed tropical:) I protected him, or defended him, from him who sought, or pursued, him: (Msb:) (tropical:) I rendered him safe, secure, or free from fear; and became at peace with him; thus used metaphorically. (TA.) 3 ضايفهُ [app. signifies He straitened him: (see 6:) or, perhaps, he became his guest; like ضَافَهُ, &c]. b2: [Hence one says,] ضايفهُ الهَمُّ (tropical:) [Anxiety straitened him: or, perhaps, befell him; like ضَافَهُ]. (TA.) b3: [And ضايفهُ, inf. n. مُضَايَفَةٌ, signifies also It was, or became, correlative to it; as, for instance, fathership to sonship. See also the next paragraph.]4 اضاف, intrans.: see 1, in three places. b2: Also, said of a man, He ran, and hastened, made haste, or sped, (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K,) and fled, or turned away and fled: (K:) and said of a dog as meaning he ran away, or fled. (TA in art. جبن.) b3: And اضاف عَلَى الشَّىْءِ i. q. أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ [He looked upon, or viewed, the thing from above: or he was, or became, on the brink, or verge, or at the point, of the thing: &c.]. (O, K, * TA.) b4: تُضِيفُ إِلَى صَوْتِ الفَحْلِ, said of a she-camel, means She hears with desire of going to him the voice, or sound, of the stallion. (M.) b5: and الإِضَافَةُ and ↓ التَّضَايُفُ signify Correlation, or reciprocal relation, so that one of the two cannot be conceived in the mind without the other; as in the case of الأُبُوَّةُ and البُنُوَّةُ [i. e. fathership and sonship]. (KT. [See also 3.]) A2: اضافهُ إِلَيْهِ He made it to incline towards it; (S, M, * O, Msb, K; *) namely, a thing (S, O) to a thing. (S, O, Msb.) He made it to lean, rest, or stay itself, against it, or upon it. (M, TA.) You say, اضاف ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الحَائِطِ He leaned his back against the wall. (MA.) And اضاف إِلَيْهِ أَمْرًا (tropical:) He rested, or stayed, upon him an affair, and desired him to do what would suffice. (TA.) b2: and He made him to have recourse to it, or to betake himself to it for refuge. (S, O, K.) b3: And He adjoined it to it. (Msb.) b4: And hence الإِضَافَةُ as a conventional term of the grammarians; because the first [of two nouns in the case to which it applies] is adjoined to the second: (Msb:) [for] إِضَافَةُ الاِسْمِ إِلَى الاِسْمِ is [The prefixing the noun to the noun so that the former governs the latter in the gen. case] as when you say غُلَامُ زَيْدٍ; in which instance, غلام is termed ↓ مُضَافٌ, and زيد is termed إِلَيْهِ ↓ مُضَافٌ: and this is done for the purpose of particularizing or appropriating, and of making known or definite: therefore the إِضَافَة of a thing to itself [i. e. the prefixing a noun in this manner to one identical therewith in meaning] is not allowable, because a thing does not make known, or definite, itself; (S;) unless by an ellipsis, as when you say حَقُّ اليَقِينِ for حَقُّ الشَّىْءِ اليَقِينِ; or, accord. to Fr, the Arabs used to do so because of the difference of the two words themselves. (S voce جَامِعٌ.) [الإِضَافَةُ is also often used as meaning The state of being prefixed in the manner explained above; or the connection of a noun so prefixed with its complement. The various kinds of إِضَافَة are sufficiently explained in the grammars of De Sacy and others: they are not proper subjects of a lexicon, though much is said respecting them in the O, and more in the Msb. b5: Hence also, بِالإِضَافَةِ إِلَى كَذَا meaning In comparison with (lit. to), or in relation to, (like بِالنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى,) such a thing; as though in juxtaposition to it: a phrase of frequent occurrence: see an ex. in Bd ii. 6.] b6: أَضَفْتُهُ (inf. n. إِضَافَةٌ, Msb) and ↓ ضَيَّفْتُهُ (inf. n. تَضْيِيفٌ, O) both signify the same, (S, M, O, Msb, K,) from الضِّيَافَةُ; (O;) i. e. both signify I made him a guest, or lodged him, or gave him refuge or asylum, syn. أَنْزَلْتُهُ, (S, M, Msb,) with me, as a ضَيْف [or guest], (S,) and entertained him: (S, M, Msb:) أَضَافُوهُ and ↓ ضَيَّفُوهُ both signify أَنْزَلُوهُ: (Mgh:) accord. to Th, أَضَفْتُهُ signifies I lodged him at my abode as a ضَيْف: and I gave him (i. e. one in fear) protection, or refuge or asylum: (Msb:) and ↓ ضَيَّفْتُهُ is also expl. as meaning I fed him: and ↓ ضيّفهُ as meaning he made him to be in the condition of أَضْيَاف [or guests]. (TA.) 5 تَضَيَّفَ intrans.: see 1, first and second sentences. b2: تَضَيُّفٌ signifies also The being collected together. (KL, from the Mj.) b3: And The being a تَابِع [or follower, &c.]. (Id.) A2: As trans.: see 1, latter half, in four places.6 تَضَاْيَفَ see 4.

A2: تضايف as said of a valley, [from ضِيفٌ “ a side,”] It became narrow; syn. تَضَايَقَ. (S, M, O.) تَضَايَفْنَ عَلَيْهِ, a phrase used by a poet [describing camels following an old camel], They became near to him, (S, M, O,) by his side. (S, M.) And you say, تضايفهُ القَوْمُ The people, or party, became on both sides of him (بِضِيفَيْهِ). (TA.) And تَضَايفُه السَّبُعَانِ The two beasts of prey hemmed him in on both sides. (TA.) and تَضَايَفَتِ الكِلَابُ الصَّيْدَ and تَضَايَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ [The dogs hemmed in the object of the chase on both sides, or round about]. (TA.) [In the TA, all these are said to be tropical; but why, I see not.]7 انضاف إِلَيْهِ signifies He, or it, became joined, or adjoined, or added, to him, or it: and he joined himself to him: but is perhaps postclassical.]10 إِسْتَضْيَفَ see 1, last sentence. b2: You say also اِسْتَضَافَنِى, meaning He desired me, or asked me, to grant him protection, or refuge. (Msb.) and استضاف فُلَانٌ إِلَى فُلَانٍ Such a one had recourse, or betook himself, to such a one for protection, or refuge. (IAar, M.) ضَيْفٌ A guest: and guests: (MA:) so called because adjoined to the family and fed with them: (Ham p. 124:) it is applied to one, and to a pl. number, (S, M, MA, O, Msb, K,) and to a male and to a female, (S, O, Msb, K,) because it is originally an inf. n.: (MA, Msb:) [as a sing.,] i. q. ↓ مُضَيَّفٌ, (M,) which is syn. with نَزِيلٌ: (TA:) and applied to a pl. number, it may be pl. [or rather a quasi-pl. n.] of ↓ ضَائِفٌ, which is syn. with نَازِلٌ; thus being of the class of زَوْزٌ and صَوْمٌ: (M:) and it is also pluralized, having for its pls. أَضْيَافٌ and ضِيفَانٌ (S, M, MA, O, Msb, K) and ضُيُوفٌ (S, M, MA, O, K) and ضِيَافٌ, (MA, TA,) the first of which is properly a pl. of pauc., but is also used as a pl. of mult.: (M:) and a female is termed ضَيْفَةٌ as well as ضَيْفٌ: (S, M, O, Msb, K:) El-Ba'eeth says, لَقًى حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهْىَ ضَيْفَةٌ [A castaway with whom his mother became pregnant while she was a guest]: (S, M, O:) or, accord. to AHeyth, the meaning here is that which follows. (O.) b2: ضَيْفَةٌ applied to a woman signifies also Menstruating: (O, K:) so says AHeyth with reference to the citation above from El-Ba'eeth. (O.) ضِيفٌ The side (T, S, M, O, K) of a valley (T, M) and of a mountain (M) [&c.: see 6]: and, as metaphorically used by an anonymous poet, of the ذَكَر: (M:) and ↓ مَضَايِفُ signifies the sides of a valley. (TA.) b2: And one says, فُلَانٌ فِى ضِيفِ فُلَانٍ, meaning Such a one is in the vicinage, or quarter, of such a one. (M.) ضَيْفَنٌ One who comes with a guest: (S, O:) or who so comes intruding without invitation: (K:) or one who follows a guest: derived from ضَيْفٌ, accord. to Sb; but said by Az to belong to art. ضفن: (M:) [accord. to J and Sgh] the ن is augmentative: the pl. is ضَيَافِنُ. (S, O.) ضِيَافَةٌ an inf. n. of ضِفْتُهُ in the first of the senses assigned to the latter above. (S, M, O, K.) b2: [And] a subst. from أَضَفْتُهُ and ضَيَّفْتُهُ [as such signifying The entertainment of a guest or guests; i. e. the act of entertaining: and an entertainment as meaning a repast, given to a guest or guests; a banquet, or feast]. (Msb.) [Hence, دَارُ الضِّيَافَةِ The house of entertainment of guests.]

ضَائِفٌ A man alighting as a guest; syn. نَازِلٌ: (M, TA:) see ضَيْفٌ: its [proper] pl. is ضُيَّفٌ. (TA.) مُضَافٌ; and مُضَافٌ إِلَيْهِ: see 4. b2: The former signifies also (tropical:) One who is made an adjunct, or adherent, to a people, or party, (S, M, O, K, TA,) and made to incline to them, (M,) not being of them. (M, TA.) One says, مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مُضَافٌ (tropical:) [He is none other than an adjunct, or adherent]. (TA.) b3: And (tropical:) One whose origin, or lineage, or parentage, is suspected; or who makes a claim to relationship not having it: (O, K, TA:) and (K) whose origin, or relationship, is referred to a people, or party, of whom he is not a member. (O, K, TA.) b4: And One who is constrained to betake himself to a place of refuge, (M, O, K, TA,) to a narrow, or confined, place, and who is burdened with evil: (TA:) El-Bureyk ElHudhalee says, وَيَحْمِى المُضَافَ إِذَا مَا دَعَا [And he protects him who is constrained to betake himself to a place of refuge, when he calls for aid]. (M.) And ↓ مُسْتَضَافٌ signifies the same as مُضَافٌ [app. in the last of the senses expl. above]: so says IB; and he cites the saying of Jowwás Ibn-Heiyán El-Azdee, عِ وَأَحْمِى المُسْتَضَافَا ↓ وَلَقَدْ أَقْدَمُ فِى الرَّوٌ [app. meaning And verily I advance boldly in the case of fear, and I protect him who is constrained to betake himself to a place of refuge]. (TA.) [See also مَضُوفٌ.] b5: Also One who is beset, hemmed in, or encompassed, in war, or battle: (S, O, K: said in the TA to be tropical:) or one falling among the horsemen and men of valour, having in him no strength. (M.) [See, again, مَضُوفٌ.] b6: And One in a state of fear. (TA.) مَضُوفٌ Beset by distress of mind: (TA:) [accord. to Freytag, as from the Deewán of the Hudhalees, constrained to seek refuge: (see also مُضَافٌ:)] it occurs in the saying of the Hudhalee, أَنْتَ تُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ المَضُوفِ [Thou answerest the prayer, or call, of him who is beset &c.]; and is formed after the manner of بُوعَ for بِيعَ. (M, TA.) مَضِيفٌ a dial. var. of مَصِيفٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) [ISd says that] مَضِيفًا occurring in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb [as some relate it], cited voce كَرَبَةٌ, [where the reading of مَصِيفًا is given,] is for ضَائِفًا, meaning Turning aside; crooked. (M.) مُضِيفٌ Fleeing; or turning away and fleeing. (Ibn-'Abbád, O. [See also its verb.]) مُضَافَةٌ Hardship, or difficulty, or distress. (TA.) b2: See also the next paragraph.

مَضُوفَةٌ, an anomalous word, by rule مَضِيفَةٌ, (Kh, Sb, TA in art. ضوف,) Anxiety; and want, or a want; (O and K in that art.;) and ↓ مَضِيفَةٌ and ↓ مُضِيفَةٌ signify the same; (O in that art. and in art. ضيف;) or these two signify anxiety, and grief: (K in this art.:) or مَضُوفَةٌ signifies an affair, or event, that is feared, or of which one is cautious; (S and M in this art.;) thus accord. to As; and ↓ مَضِيفَةٌ and ↓ مُضَافَةٌ signify the same. (S, L, TA.) مَضِيفَةٌ and مُضِيفَةٌ: see both in the next preceding paragraph; the former in two places.

(TA.) [It may also mean He expressed, or signified, an evil opinion of him by making signs with the side of the mouth, or with the eye, or with the head, or otherwise; as is indicated in the TA in arts. لمز and همز.]

غَابٌ: see غَابَةٌ, in three places.

غَيْبٌ Whatever is absent, or hidden, from one; (S, A, Msb, K, TA;) as though it were an inf. n. used in the sense of the act. part. n. [in which the meaning of a subst. is predominant]; (TA;) and so ↓ غَائِبٌ, which [in this sense] is a subst., like كَاهِلٌ, (K, TA,) or an act. part. n. used in the sense of a subst.: (MF:) anything that is absent, or hidden, from the eyes; invisible, unseen, or unapparent; whether it be, or be not, perceived in the heart, or mind: (IAar, TA:) [or anything unperceivable; absent from the range, or beyond the reach, of perception by sense, or of mental perception; or undiscoverable unless by means of divine revelation; a mystery, or secret, such as an event of futurity;] a thing that has been hidden from men, and with which the Prophet has acquainted them, of the events of the resurrection and of Paradise and of Hell &c.; thus in the Kur ii. 2; (Zj, TA;) and [hence] Zj explains الغَيْب as meaning, in the Kur lxxxi. 24, that which has been revealed: (TA in art. ضن:) pl. غُيُوبٌ. (Msb.) [See also the Ksh and Bd in ii. 2.] [Hence, عَالَمُ الغَيْبِ The world of the unseen; the invisible world.] And [hence also] one says, رَجَمَ بِالغَيْبِ [and قَذَفَ بِالغَيْبِ (see art. قذف)] He spoke of that which he did not know: (Ham p. 494:) and قَالَ رَجْمًا بِالغَيْبِ He said conjecturally, [or speaking of that which was hidden from him or unknown by him,] without evidence, and without proof. (Msb in art. رجم, q. v.) b2: And (assumed tropical:) Doubt, or a doubting: (K:) but some disapprove this: some regard it as tropical: and some pronounce it correct: (MF, TA:) pl. غِيَابٌ and غُيُوبٌ. (K.) A poet says, أَنْتَ نَبِىٌّ تَعْلَمُ الغِيَابَا لَا قَائِلًا إِفْكًا وَلَا مُرْتَابَا [Thou art a prophet, knowing doubts, or things doubted; not saying a lie, nor a thing suspected: or, more probably, the meaning is, the things unseen]. (TA.) b3: Also A place, in the ground, that hides, or conceals, one: (TA:) a low, or depressed, place in the ground, or in a tract of land: (S, K, TA:) or any place such that one knows not what is in it: and a place such that one knows not what is behind it: (Sh, TA:) pl. غُيُوبٌ. (TA.) Hence the phrase عَنْ ظَهْرِ غَيْبٍ in a verse of Lebeed cited voce ظَهْرٌ, q. v. (TA.) [Hence also] one says, سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنْ وَرَآءِ الغَيْبِ i. e. [I heard a sound, or voice,] from [behind] a place that I saw not. (A, TA.) And تَنَاوَلَهُ بِظَهْرِ الغَيْبِ بِمَا يَسُوؤُهُ: see 8. And تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غَيْبٍ (A) or عَنْ ظَهْرِ الغَيْبِ (TA, and A and O in art. ظهر) [app. He spoke of it by memory; in the absence of a book or the like; as one says in modern Arabic, عَلَى الغَائِب. See also ظَهْرٌ.]

b4: Also The خَمْصَة [i. e. pit, or depression, as is shown by what here follows, (thus in the A, and in the Ksh in ii. 2, in the TA حُفْرَة, which has a similar meaning,)] that is in the place where the kidney is situate, (Ksh, A, TA,) and which swells up when the beast becomes big in the belly: so says ISh: (Ksh ubi suprà:) or the خَمْصَة that is next to the kidney: (Bd in ii. 2: [De Sacy doubted respecting its meaning, but conjectured that it might be thus: see his Anthol. Gramm. Arabe p. 55:]) pl. غُيُوبٌ: one says, شَرِبَتِ الدَّابَّةُ حَتَّى

وَارَتْ غُيُوبَ كُلَاهَا, (ISh, Ksh ubi suprà, A, TA,) meaning هُزُومَهَا [i. e. The beast drank until it concealed the pits of its kidneys]. (A, TA.) b5: and Fat: (K, TA:) i. e. the fat of the ثَرْب [q. v.] of a sheep or goat: so called because it is hidden from the eye. (TA.) A2: See also غَائِبٌ.

غَيَبٌ: see غَائِبٌ, in two places.

غَابَةٌ is originally [غَيَبَةٌ] of the measure فَعَلَةٌ, with fet-h to the ع. (Msb.) It signifies A low, or depressed, place, or a hollow in the ground, (El-Hawázinee, K, TA,) before which, or in the way to which, (دُونَهَا,) is an eminence. (El-Hawá- zinee, TA.) b2: And (K) i. q. أَجَمَةٌ: (S, K, TA:) [i. e.] A bed of canes or reeds: (AHn, Msb, TA:) and [a thicket, wood, or forest; like أَجَمَةٌ;] a collection of trees, (AHn, ISd, TA,) densely disposed; so called because it conceals what is in it: (ISd, TA:) or a tall أَجَمَة, having high, or very high, extremities [app. to its canes or reeds]: (TA:) pl. غَابَاتٌ (Msb, TA) and [coll. gen. n.]

↓ غَابٌ. (S, Msb, TA.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) A long spear (K, TA) that has extremities like those of the أَجَمَة [expl. above]: (TA:) [but I think that this addition in the TA correctly applies to غَابَةٌ signifying a number of spears, like a bed of canes or reeds, or like a forest; agreeably with two of the explanations here following:] or a spear that quivers in the wind: (K, TA:) or (tropical:) numerous spears, like abundant and dense trees: (A:) or an assemblage of spears; app. so called as being likened to a غابة meaning an أَجَمَة of dense trees: (ISd, TA:) pl. غَابَات and [coll. gen. n.] ↓ غَابٌ. (TA.) One says, أَتَوْنَا فِى غَابَةٍ i. e. (tropical:) [They came to us] amid numerous spears, like abundant and dense trees: (A:) or غابة may be used in this case in the sense here following. (TA.) b4: And A company, or congregated body, of men: (Aboo-Jábir ElAsadee, K, TA:) pl. غَابَاتٌ and [coll. gen. n.]

↓ غَابٌ. (TA.) غَيْبَةٌ an inf. n. [See 1, in several places.] b2: Also, and ↓ غَيَابَةٌ, A low, or depressed, piece of land or ground: so in the phrases وَقَعْنَا فِى غَيْبَةٍ and غَيَابَةٍ [app. meaning We lighted upon a low, or depressed, piece &c.; or perhaps the meaning may be we fell into &c.]. (S.) b3: See also غَيَابَةٌ.

غِيبَةٌ the subst. from اِغْتَابَهُ: (Msb:) it signifies [Evil speech respecting a person; or such speech in his absence; not always, though generally, meaning with truth:] evil speech respecting a person in his absence; (TA;) or a saying of him, in his absence, what would grieve him (S, TA) if he heard it; (S;) with truth: (S, TA:) or speech respecting a person imputing to him what he dislikes, of vices, or faults, with truth: (Msb:) when it is false, it is termed بُهْتَانٌ: (S, Msb, TA:) or an imputing to a person a vice, or fault, or the like; and a mentioning him with what is in him of evil; (K, TA;) or a saying of him what would grieve him: (TA:) or it may be speech imputing good or evil. (K, * TA.) غَيِبَانٌ or غَيْبَانٌ, [accord. to different copies of the K, between which the TA does not enable us to decide with certainty, as it only states, with respect to the ى, that it is مُخَفَّفَة, which may mean either the contr. of doubled or the contr. of movent, though the former is the more general meaning, (in the TA it is said to be erroneously written in a copy of the K with a final ت instead of ن,)] and ↓ غَيِّبَانٌ, The roots of trees, (K, TA,) that are hidden from view: or, accord. to AHn, the غيبان and ↓ غيّبان and ↓ غَيَابَة, of plants, or herbage, are, with the Arabs, what the sun has not shone upon: and accord. to Aboo-Ziyád ElKilábee, the غيبان and ↓ غيّبان of plants, or herbage, and also of their roots, are what is con-cealed from the sun, so as to be not shone upon by it. (L, TA.) غَيِّبَانٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.

غَيَابٌ A thing that hides, or conceals, a thing from one: (Meyd:) and hence, (Meyd, TA,) a grave; (S, Meyd, TA;) and so ↓ غَيَابَةٌ: (TA:) one says, غَيَابُهُ ↓ غَيَّبَهُ (S, Meyd, TA) and ↓ غَيَابَتُهُ (TA) meaning دُفِنَ فِى قَبْرِهِ (S, Meyd, TA) [i. e. May he be buried in his grave]: an imprecation of death against the man. (Meyd.) غَيَابَةٌ The part of anything that veils, or conceals, one. (K.) And hence, (K,) The bottom of a جُبّ [or well]; (S, K, * TA;) or this, accord. to some, is the primary signification; as also ↓ غَيْبَةٌ, accord. to one reading, in the Kur xii. 10; (TA;) [and غَيَايَةٌ;] and of a valley; (S, TA;) &c.: (TA:) pl. غَيَابَاتٌ. (K, TA.) [And A covert, or place of concealment, of birds. (See ظِلَالَةٌ.)] See also غَيَابٌ, in two places: and غَيْبَةٌ. b2: and see غَيِبَانٌ.

غَائِبٌ act. part. n. of 1 [signifying Absent; distant, or remote; and hidden, concealed, or unapparent; or absent from the range, or beyond the reach, of perception by sense, or of mental perception]: pl. (applied to men, K, TA) غُيَّبٌ and غُيَّابٌ (S, Msb, K) and غَائِبُونَ (K) and ↓ غَيَبٌ, (S, Mgh, K,) or rather the last is a quasi-pl. n., (TA,) and ↓ غَيْبٌ, [which is also properly speaking a quasi-pl. n.,] like صَحْبٌ: (Msb [in which غَيَبٌ is not mentioned]:) the ى in ↓ غَيَبٌ remains unchanged, notwithstanding the two fet-hahs, because it is likened to صَيَدٌ, and, although it is a pl. [in signification] and صَيَدٌ is an inf. n., it may be used as meant for an inf. n. (S, TA.) b2: See also غَيْبٌ, first sentence. b3: Also A run in which a horse reserves [somewhat of his force for the time of need]. (A in art. شهد: see شَاهِدٌ.) مَغِيبٌ [an inf. n.: b2: and also a n. of place and of time, signifying] The place [and the time] of setting of the sun and of the moon [&c.].
