(K.) b6: قَلَصَ, inf. n. قُلُوصٌ, also signifies He went away; (IB, TA;) and so ↓ قلّص, inf. n. تَقْلِيصٌ: (TA:) each likewise signifies the same, but the latter in an intensive sense, said of tears; and so the latter when said of anything: (TA:) and so ↓ تقلّص said of an animal's milk.

صَيْف: (S, M, * K:) or i. q. غَارَتْ; [so in the copies of the K, evidently a mistake for غَارَّتْ, q. v.;] and her milk went away, or became drawn up; (K;) [a signification nearly agreeing with explanations of غارّت;] opposed to أَنْزَلَتْ. (TA.) See also قَلَصٌ.5 تَقَلَّصَ see 1, passim.

قَلْصٌ Abundance of water: and, contr., paucity thereof: (TA:) and ↓ قَلَصَةٌ and ↓ قَلْصَةٌ have the former of these significations: (M:) or ↓ قَلَصَةٌ signifies water of a well collecting therein and rising: (S, K:) and so ↓ قَلْصَةٌ, accord. to some lexicologists, as mentioned by Ibn-El-Ajdábee: (IB:) the pl. of قَلَصَةٌ is قَلَصَاتٌ: (S, K:) and the pl.

Sometimes it is used for performing the ablution termed وُضُوْء: and hence it is said in a trad., إِنَّ النِّسَآءَ مِنْ أَسْفَهِ السُّفَهَآءِ

إِلَّا صَاحِبَةَ القِسْطِ وَالسِّرَاجِ; (K;) the قِسْط being here the vessel in which the وضوء is performed; (TA;) the meaning app. being, [Women are of the most lightwitted of the lightwitted,] except she who serves her husband, and assists him to perform the وضوء, [so I render تُوَضِّئُهُ,] and takes care of the vessel which he uses for that purpose, and stands at his head with the lamp: (K:) or who performs his affairs with respect to his وضوء and his lamp.

(TA.) قَاسِطٌ Declining, or deviating, from the right course; acting unjustly, wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically: pl. قَاسِطُونَ (S, M, Mgh, TA) and قُسَّاطٌ. (TA.) You say, هُوَ قَاسِطٌ غَيْرُ مُقْسِطٍ He is declining, or deviating, from the right course; &c.: not acting equitably, or justly. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur, [lxxii. 15,] أَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا [As for the deviators from the right course, they shall be fuel for hell]. (S, M, Mgh.) [See also عَادِلٌ.] b2: القَاسِطُونَ is also specially applied to The party of Mo'áwiyeh; (Mgh;) the people of Siffeen. (TA.) b3: [and it has the contr. meaning, i. e. Acting equitably, or justly. See, again, عَادِلٌ.]

أَقْسَطُ More [and most] equitable, just, or right: occurring in the Kur, ii. 282, and xxxiii. 5: (TA:) formed from the triliteral verb [قَسَطَ], not from the quadriliteral [أَقْسَطَ], as some assert it to be, holding it anomalous.

(S, M.) b2: المُقْسِطُ is one of the names of God, meaning The Equitable. (TA.)

رشد

&c. (L.) Some say that رَشْدٌ relates to the things of the present life and to those of the life to come; and رَشَدٌ, only to those of the life to come: but this distinction does not accord with what has been heard from the Arabs, nor with readings of the Kur-án, in which some read رُشْد and others رَشَد in several verses. (MF.) The former also signifies The continuing in the way of truth, or the right way, with self-constraining firmness in so doing. (K.) One says to the traveller, رَشِدْتَ [Mayest thou take, or follow, the right way]. (A.) b2: [See also رُشْدٌ below.]2 رشّدهُ, inf. n. تَرْشِيدٌ, said of a kádee, or judge, i. q. جَعَلَهُ رَشِيدًا [meaning He pronounced him to be one who took, or followed, a right way or course or direction: or to be one who held a right belief; to be orthodox].

(So accord. to some copies of the K.) b3: And استرشدهُ He desired of him the taking, or following, a right way or course or direction: (L, and so accord. to some copies of the K, and the TA:) or he asked, demanded, or desired, of him, direction to the right way. (MA.) You say, ↓ اِسْتَرْشَدْتُهُ فَأَرْشَدَنِى [I asked, demanded, or desired, of him, direction to the right way, and he directed me to the right way] (A, Msb) إِلَى الشَّىْءِ and عَلَيْهِ and لَهُ [to the thing]: so says Az. (Msb.) رُشْدٌ an inf. n. of 1. (S, L, Msb, K.) b2: [As a simple subst., Rectitude.] Also Maturity of in-tellect, and rectitude of actions, and good management of affairs.

[Hence, بَلَغَ رُشْدَهُ He attained to years of discretion, when he was able of himself to take, or follow, a right way or course: a phrase of frequent occurrence.]

رَشْدَةٌ: see the next paragraph, in four places.

رِشْدَةٌ A mode, or manner, [and ↓ رَشْدَةٌ an act,] of رَشَاد [or right procedure; &c.]. (Ham p. 463.) [Hence,] هُوَ لِرِشْدَةٍ, (S, A, L, Msb,) and وُلِدَ لِرِشْدَةٍ, (L, K,) and ↓ لِرَشْدَةٍ, (L, Msb, K,) the latter accord. to Az and Fr, and said to be the more chaste, but the former allowable accord. to Ks, and preferred by Th in the Fs, (L, TA,) [and seems to be the more common,] (tropical:) He is, or was, trueborn; (A, Msb;) contr. of لِزِنْيَةٍ, (S, L, K,) or لِزَنْيَةٍ, (Fr, TA,) and لِغَيَّةٍ.

(L, K. *) A2: حَبُّ الرَّشَادِ i. q. الحُرْفُ, (K,) in the dial. of El-'Irák; (TA;) they gave it this name as one of good omen, because حُرْفٌ is syn. with حِرْمَانٌ: (K:) [رَشَادٌ and حُرْفٌ are names given to several species of Gress; and حَبُّ الرَّشَادِ seems to mean the seed of رشاد: accord. to Golius, on the authority of Ibn-Beytár, رشاد is the name of the nasturtium: accord. to Delile, (Flor. AEgypt., nos. 576, 580, 571, 584, and 610,) it is the Arabic name of the lepidium sativum of Linn.; the lepidium hortense of Forsk.: and the cochlearia nilotica: رَشَادُ البَحْرِ, i. e., nasturtium maritimum, that of the cakile maritima of Tournef.; Desf., a pinnatifida; the bunias cakile of Linn.; the isatis pinnata of Forsk.: الرَّشَادُ الجَبَلِىُّ, that of the lunaria parviflora: and رَشَادُ البّرِّ, i. e., nasturtium deserti, that of the raphanus recurvatus of Persoon; the raphanus lyratus of Forsk.]
