(TA.) And [they use this verb transitively, saying,] زَرَعْتُ البُرَّ وَالشَّعِيرَ [I sowed wheat and barley]: and in like manner, زَرَعْتُ الشَّجَرَ [I sowed the trees; or sowed the seeds which should produce the trees: or it may signify I planted the trees]. (Ibn-Abi-l-Hadeed.) and زَرَعَ الحُبَّ لَكَ فِى القُلُوبِ كَرَمُكَ وَحُسْنُ خُلُقِكَ (tropical:) [Thy generosity and the goodness of thy disposition have sown love for thee in the hearts]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلِيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلِيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ [Whoso hath land,] let him sow it [or let him lend it, or give it, to his brother; and if he refuse, let him retain his land].

(Mgh, Msb;) The verb is properly thus used of divine affairs, exclusively of human: (Er-Rághib:) and hence the saying in the Kur [lvi. 63-4], أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَحْرُثُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ (S, * Er-Rághib) Now think ye, what ye sow, do ye cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth? (Bd:) or, as some say, do ye cause it to increase, or are We the causers of its increase? the حَرْث [or sowing] being ascribed to them, and the زَرْع [or causing to grow] exclusively to God: when the latter is ascribed to a man, it is because he is an agent as a means of making to grow; as when you say, أَنْبَتُّ كَذَا (assumed tropical:) I was a means of causing such a thing to grow. (Er-Rághib.) [In like manner,] you say, زَرْعًا ↓ اِزْدَرَعَ, meaning (tropical:) [He raised seed-produce, i. e., was a means of causing it to grow,] for himself, in particular. (TA.) b4: [Hence,] one says, with respect to a child, زَرَعَهُ اللّٰهُ (tropical:) May God render him sound and strong; syn. جَبَرَهُ: (S, K, TA:) like as one says أَنْبَتَهُ اللّٰهُ: and in like manner, زَرَعَ اللّٰهُ وَلَدَكَ لِلْخَيْرِ (tropical:) [May God render thine offspring sound and strong, or rather, cause thine offspring to grow up, for the doing, or enjoyment, of what is good]. (TA.) b5: [Hence also,] زُرِعَ لَهُ بَعْدُ شَقَاوَةٍ (tropical:) [An increase was made for him after adversity; or] he obtained property after want; for the verb in this instance is like عُنِىَ. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) 3 مُزَارَعَةٌ is of the measure مُفَاعَلَةٌ, [denoting a mutual action,] from الزِّرَاعَةُ, (Mgh,) and its signification is well known; (S;) i. e.

It was said to a woman of the Arabs, “Wherefore do we see you to be scant of flesh in the posteriors and thighs? ” and she answered, أَرْسَحَتْنَا نَارُ الزَّحْفَتَيْنِ [The fire of the شِيح and the أَلَآء, or of the عَرْفَج, has rendered us scant of flesh in the posteriors and thighs].

(TA.) Also Fatigued and motionless; whatever it be, whether lean or fat; and so ↓ مُزْحِفٌ. (TA.)

زعم

1 زَعَمَ, (S, Msb,) aor. ـُ (Msb, MS, JM, [not mentioned in the S nor in the K, app. because well known,]) inf. n. زَعْمٌ and زُعْمٌ and زعْمٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the first of the dial. of El-Hijáz, (Msb, TA,) the second of the dial. of [the tribe of] Asad, (Msb,) or Benoo-Temeem, (TA,) and the third of the dial. of some of [the tribe of] Keys; (Msb;) [generally best rendered He asserted; for it mostly relates to a thing not certainly known: or] he said; (S, Msb, K;) as in the phrases زَعَمَتِ الحَنَفِيَّةٌ [The Hanafees said or asserted, or have said or asserted,] and زَعَمَ سِيبَوَيْهِ [Seebaweyh said or asserted, or has said or asserted]; (Msb;) [and زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ كَذَا He said, or asserted, that it was thus;] either truly or falsely: (K:) mostly used in relation to a thing respecting which there is doubt, (Sh, Az, Msb, K,) and which is not certainly known: (Sh, Az, Msb:) or it is mostly used in relation to that which is false, or that respecting which there is doubt, or suspicion: (El-Marzookee, Msb:) or, as those skilled in the language of the Arabs say, in relation to a thing of which the speaker doubts, and does not know whether it may not be false: (Lth:) or زَعَمَ زَعْمًا means he related a piece of information not knowing whether it were true or false. (IKoot, Msb.) Hence the saying, زَعَمَ مَطِيَّةُ الكَذِبِ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) زَعَمَ is the conveyer, or vehicle, (properly the camel, or beast, that serves as the conveyer,) of lying]. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., بِئْسَ مَطِيَّةُ الرَّجُلِ زَعَمُوا [(assumed tropical:) Very evil, or bad, is the man's conveyer زَعَمُوا]: i. e., when a man desires to journey to a country, or town, he mounts his camel, or beast, that serves to convey him, and journeys until he accomplishes the object of his want: therefore, that with which the speaker prefaces his speech, and by means of which he attains the object of his desire, when he says زَعَمُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا, is likened to the camel, or beast, by means of which he attains the object of want: for زَعَمُوا is [generally] said only in the case of a narration that has no authority whereon to rest, and that contains no proof. (TA.) IKh says that الزَّعْمُ is used in relation to that which is discommended; and that its primary signification is said by some of the expositors of the Kur-án to be The act of lying: (TA: [this signification is also given in the K, as being contr. to the first:]) some say that it is metonymically used in this sense: (Msb:) and it is expl. as having this meaning in the Kur [vi. 137], where it is said, فَقَالُوا هٰذَا لِلّٰهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ, i. e. [And they have said, “This belongeth unto God,”] with their lying. (Lth, TA.) b2: [Sometimes] زَعَمَهُ signifies He described him, or it. (Har p. 204.) b3: And sometimes زَعَمَ signifies He promised: whence the saying of ' Amr Ibn-Sha-s, تَقُولُ هَلَكْنَا إِنْ هَلَكْتَ وَإِنَّمَا عَلَىاللّٰهُ أَرْزَاقُ العِبَادِ كَمَا زَعَمْ [Thou sayest, or she says, “We perish if thou perish: ” but verily upon God lie the means of subsistence of mankind, i. e. it lies upon Him to supply these, as He has promised]. (TA.) b4: الزَّعْمُ is used also in the sense of الظَّنُّ: (Msb, TA:) one says, فِى زَعْمِى كَذَا [In my opinion it is thus]. (Msb.) [Hence, likewise,] زَعَمْتَنِى

كَذَا, (K,) aor. ـْ (TA,) Thou thoughtest me to be thus. (K, TA.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, فَإِنْ تُزْعُمِينِى كُنْتُ أَجْهَلُ فِيكُمُ فَإِنِّى شَرَيْتُ الحِلْمَ بَعْدَكِ بِالجَهْلِ [And if thou think me such that I used to be ignorant, or to act ignorantly, among you, know that I have purchased intelligence since I was with thee (بَعْدَكِ being for بَعْدَ عَهْدِى بِكِ) in exchange for ignorance]. (TA. [The meaning of تزعمينى is there indicated by the context.]) b5: It is also used in the sense of الاِعْتِقَادُ: whence the saying in the Kur [lxiv. 7], زَعَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُو أَنْ لَنْ يُبْعَثُوا [They who have disbelieved our revelations have believed, or firmly believed, that they shall not be raised from the dead]. (Msb.) b6: Sometimes, also, زَعَمَ is used in the sense of شَهِدَ: as in the saying of En-Nábighah, زَعَمَ الهُمَامُ بِأَنَّ فَاهَا بَارِدٌ [app. meaning The magnanimous chief bore witness that her mouth was cool]. (TA.) A2: زَعَمَ بِهِ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, Msb) and زَعَمَ, (Msb,) inf. n. زَعْمٌ (S, Msb, K) and زَعَامَةٌ, (S, K,) or the latter is a simple subst., (Msb,) He was, or became, responsible, answerable, amenable, surety, or guarantee, for it; (S, Msb, K;) namely, property. (Msb.) b2: And زَعَمَ, like قَتَلَ, (Msb,) or زَعُمَ, like كَرُمَ, (TA,) aor. ـُ inf. n. زَعَامَةٌ, He was, or became, chief, lord, master, or prince, (Msb, TA,) of a people, (TA,) or عَلَى قَوْمٍ [over a people]; (Msb;) or spokesman of a people.

A4: زَعِمَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. زَعَمٌ (S, TA) and زَعْمٌ, (TA,) He coveted, or eagerly desired. (S, K.) [Like its syn. طَمِعَ, it is trans. by means of فِى.] One says, ↓ زَعِمَ فُلَانٌ فِى غَيْرِ مَزْعَمٍ, i. e. طَمِعَ فى غَيْرِ مَطْعَمٍ [Such a one coveted a thing not to be coveted; meaning, a thing of which the attainment was remote, or improbable: see art. طمع]. (TA.) And ' Antarah says, عُلِّقْتُهَا عَرَضًا وَأَقْتُلُ قَوْمَهَا زَعَمًا لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ لَيْسَ بِمَزْعَمِ (S,) i. e. I became enamoured of her unintentionally, [or accidentally,] while I was slaying her people; eagerly desiring her love: by the life of thy father, I swear, this is not a [fit] occasion for eager desire: i. e. I can not attain to holding communion of love with thee, [or with her,] any day, while there is this conflict and hostility between the two tribes: (EM p. 222:) لَيْسَ بِمَزْعَمٍ

meaning لَيْسَ بِمَطْمَعٍ : (S:) or, [as some relate it,] زَعْمًا وَرَبِّ البَيْتِ لَيْسَ بِمَزْعَمِ [eagerly desiring: by the Lord of the House (i. e. the Kaabeh), &c.]. (TA. [زَعْمًا is there expressly said to be thus: but the measure does not require its being so.]) 3 زاعم, (K,) inf. n. مُزَاعَمَةٌ, (TA,) i. q. زَاحَمَ [q. v.]: (K:) the ع is a substitute for the ح. (TA.) 4 ازعم He made a person to be such as is termed زَعِيم; (Msb, TA;) as meaning responsible, answerable, amenable, surety, or guarantee. (Msb.) You say, أَزْعَمْتُكَ المَالَ, (Msb,) or الشَّىْءَ, (TA,) I made thee, or have made thee, responsible, &c., (Msb, TA, *) [for the property, or the thing;] i. e. زَعِيمًا بِهِ. (Msb, TA.) A2: He made one to covet, or eagerly desire. (S, K.) You say, أَزْعَمْتُهُ. (S.) [And أَزْعَمْتُهُ فِى الشَّىْءِ I made him to covet, or eagerly desire, the thing; like as you say, أَطْمَعْتُهُ فِيهِ. See زَعِمَ.]

A3: He obeyed (K, TA) the زَعِيم [i. e. chief, lord, or prince]. (TA.) A4: It (an affair) was, or became, possible. (K.) b2: It (milk) began to become good, or pleasant; [or fit to be drunk;] as also ↓ زَعَمَ, (K,) inf. n. زَعْمٌ. (TA.) b3: ازعمت said of a young she-camel, or of one full-grown, She was thought to have fat in her hump. (IKh, TA. [The TA states it to have been asserted by IKh that the verb is only used in this sense, or (for the passage is ambiguous) in this sense and the first mentioned above.]) b4: Also, (K,) or ↓ زَعَمَتْ, (TA, [but this I think to be probably a mistranscription,]) said of the earth, or land, (الأَرْضُ,) It put forth the first of its plants, or herbage. (IAar, K, TA.) 5 تزعّم i. q. تَكَذَّبَ [q. v.]: (S, K:) [it seems here to mean He spoke falsely; and to be trans.; for] a poet says, أَيُّهَا الزَّاعِمُ مَا تَزَعَّمَا [app. meaning O thou asserter of that which thou hast spoken falsely]. (TA. [This hemistich is there cited as an ex. of تزعّم as expl. in the K; and I find no other explanation of this verb.]) 6 تَزَاعَمَا They two competed in discoursing of a thing, and differed respecting it: accord. to Z, it means they talked of, or related, زَعَمَات, i. e. [mere assertions, or] stories in which no confidence was to be placed. (TA.) Sh says that التَّزَاعُمُ is mostly used in relation to a thing respecting which there is doubt. (TA.) A2: One says also, تزاعم القَوْمُ, meaning The people, or party, became responsible, one for another: and hence, تزاعموا عَلَى كَذَا they leagued together, and aided one another, against such a thing. (TA.) زُعْمٌ [originally an inf. n. of زَعَمَ, like زَعْمٌ and زِعْمٌ,] is a word used by the vulgar as meaning كِبْرٌ [i. e. Pride; and, as often used in the present day, pretension: because implying false, or vain, assertion]. (TA.) زَعَمٌ and ↓ زَعَامَةٌ Responsibility, answerableness, amenableness, or suretiship; substs. from زَعَمَ بِهِ : (Msb:) or the latter is an inf. n.

(K.) زَعْمَةٌ [inf. n. of un. of زَعَمَ; An assertion; &c.: pl. زَعَمَاتٌ]. One says, هٰذَا وَلَا زَعْمَتَكَ and ولا زَعَمَاتِكَ [meaning This I think, and I think not to be true thine assertion and thine assertions]; أَتَوَهَّمُ being understood after لا : these words are used as meaning the rejection of what has been said by the person to whom they are addressed. (K, TA. [In the CK, erroneously, زَعْمَتِكَ and زَعْمَاتِكَ.]) They said also, زَعْمَةٌ صَادِقَةٌ لَآتِيَنَّكَ [i. e. It is a true assertion: I will assuredly come to thee]; using the nom. case : though they said, يَمِينًا صَادِقَةً لَأَفْعَلَنَّ [i. e. I swear “ a true oath : I will assuredly do ” such a thing]; using the accus. case. (Ks, TA.) And one says, تَحَادَثَا بِالزَّعَمَاتِ, meaning They two talked of, or related, each to the other, [mere assertions, or] stories in which no confidence was to be placed. (Z, TA.) زُعْمِىٌّ (with damm, TA) Mendacious: and veracious: (K:) thus bearing two contr. significations. (TA.) زُعْمُومٌ : see the next paragraph.

زَعُومٌ, a fem. epithet, (S, K, &c.,) applied to a she-camel, and to a sheep or goat, Of which one doubts whether there be in her fat or not, (S, K,) and which is therefore felt with the hands, in order that one may know if she be fat or lean: (S:) or a sheep or goat of which one knows not whether there be in her fat or not: (As, TA:) or, as some say, of which men assert that there is in her marrow. (TA.) And, as a fem. epithet, Having little fat: and having much fat: thus bearing two contr. senses: as also ↓مُزْعَمَةٌ [app. in both senses]: (M, K:) and ↓مَزْعُومَةٌ also signifies having little fat; of which people, when they eat of her, say to her owner, “Didst thou assert her to be fat? ” applied to a she-camel. (TA.) A2: Also Impotent in speech; (K;) and so ↓زُعْمُومٌ. (S, * K.) زَعِيمٌ Responsible, answerable, amenable, surety, or guarantee. (S, Msb, K.) Hence, in the Kur [xii. 72], وَأَنَا بِهِ زَعِيمٌ [And I am responsible for it]. (TA.) b2: Also The chief, lord, master, or prince, or a people; (Msb, K;) or [in the CK “ and ”] their spokesman: (K:) their chief is thus called because he speaks for them; like as he is called قَيْلٌ and مِقْوَلٌ: (Ham p. 705:) pl. زُعَمَآءُ. (K.) A2: Also Described; syn. مَوْصُوفٌ. (Har p. 204.) زَعَامَةٌ: see زَعَمٌ. b2: Also High, or elevated, rank or condition or state; or nobility. (K.) and Chiefdom, lordship, mastery, or princedom: (IAar, S, K:) [accord. to the Msb, an inf. n. in this sense:] thus expl. by IAar as occurring in the following verse of Lebeed: (TA:) وَوِتْرًا وَالزَّعَامَةُ لِلْغُلَامِ تَطِيرُ عَدَائِدُ الأَشْرَاكِ شَفْعًا (S and TA in the present art. and in art. عد) [The portions of inheritance of the sharers fly away, two together and singly; but the chiefdom is for the boy]: by his saying شَفْعًا وَوِتْرًا, he means that the male's share of inheritance is like that of two females [so that he has two portions when the female has one]: but other explanations, those here following, are given of الزعامة as used in this verse. (TA. [See also عَدِيدَةٌ.]) b3: A weapon, or weapons; syn. سِلَاحٌ. (S, K.) So, accord. to J, in the verse of Lebeed: for, he says, they used, when they divided the inheritance, to give the weapon, or weapons, to the son, exclusively of the daughter. (TA.) b4: A coat of mail: (K:) or coats of mail: and thus it is expl. by IAar as used in the verse of Lebeed. (TA.) b5: The chief's share of spoil.

A2: Also, and ↓ زَعَّامَةٌ, An animal of the ox-kind; [probably meaning one of the wild species;] syn. بَقَرَةٌ. (K.) زَعَّامَةٌ: see the next preceding sentence.

مَزْعَمٌ A thing, or an affair, -in which no confidence is to be placed; (S, K;) this saying, or asserting, it to be thus, and this saying, or asserting, it to be thus: (S:) [pl. مَزَاعِمُ.] One says, فِى قَوْلِهِ مَزَاعِمُ (S, TA) i. e. [In his saying are things in which no confidence is to be placed; or] no confidence is to be placed in his saying. (TA.) And هٰذَا أَمْرٌ فِيهِ مَزَاعِمُ This is an affair that is not right; (TA;) [wherein are things] respecting which there is dispute. (K, TA.) And زَعَمَ غَيْرَ مَزْعَمٍ He said that which was not good, or right, or just; and asserted what was impossible. (Msb.) A2: Also A thing that is, or is to be, coveted, or eagerly desired; syn. مَطْمَعٌ. (S, TA.) See two exs. near the end of the first paragraph.

مُزْعَمٌ: see its fem., with ة, voce زَعُومٌ.

أَمْرٌ مُزْعِمٌ A thing, or an affair, that makes one to covet, or desire eagerly. (TA.) مَزْعُومٌ: see its fem., with ة, voce زَعُومٌ.

مِزْعَامَةٌ A serpent. (K.) هُوَ مُزَاعَمٌ No confidence is to be placed in him, or it. (So in the TA. [But I incline to think it a mistranscription for فِيهِ مَزَاعِمُ. See مَزْعَمٌ.])

فثج

1 فَثَجَ i. q. نَقَصَ [accord. to the TK in a trans. sense, for it is there said that فَثَج الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. فَثْجٌ, signifies He, or it, diminished the thing]; (AA, O, K;) said in this sense in relation to anything. (AA, O.) b2: [Hence, app., though perhaps the verb in each of these three phrases may be the aor. of ↓ أُفْثِجَ,] بِئْرٌ لَا تُفْثَجُ means A well that will not become exhausted: and فُلَانٌ بَحْرٌ لَا يُفْثَجُ Such a one is a sea that will not become exhausted: (S, O:) and مَآءٌ لَا يُفْثَجُ Water that will not become exhausted; or, accord. to A 'Obeyd, of which the bottom will not be reached [app. by drawing therefrom].

(KL.) b2: And فَثَجَ, (O, K, TA,) inf. n. فَثْجٌ, (O,) said of a man, (TA,) signifies أَثْقَلَ; (thus in the O and in copies of the K; [but accord. to the TK, أُثْقِلَ, for it is there said that the meaning is He (a man) was, or became, burdened, or heavy;]) as also ↓ فَثَّجَ, (O, K,) inf. n. تَثْفِيجٌ.

(Thus in the O in art. فسج.) A2: Also, (S, O, K,) accord. to Ks, (S, O,) like أَفْثَأَ, (TA,) and so أُفْثِجَ, (O, K,) this last, in the pass. form, mentioned by IAar, (TA,) He (a man, TA) was, or became, tired, and out of breath, (S, O, K,) from running.

(S, O, K.) b2: فَرَضَ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb,) aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (Msb, TA,) also signifies He (God, S, A, Mgh, Msb) made a thing, (S, TA,) or prayer, (A, Mgh,) or statutes or ordinances, (Msb,) obligatory, or binding, syn. أَوْجَبَ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) by a known decree, (TA,) [or He imposed a thing &c.,] عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ on a man, (TA,) or عَلَيْنَا on us; (S;) and so ↓ اِفْتَرَضَ: (S, A, Mgh, O, K:) or فَرْضٌ is like إِيجَابٌ; but the latter is so termed in consideration of its befalling; and the former is so called in consideration of the sentence, or decree, respecting it: (B:) [this is said in books on the law, in explanation of the opinion of Aboo-Haneefeh, as opposed to that of Esh-Sháfi'ee: for] accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee, these two terms are alike; (L, TA;) but accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh, the difference between الوَاجِبُ and الفَرْضُ is like the difference between heaven and earth: (TA:) this distinction, however, is founded upon contested derivations of the two terms: (Kull p. 276:) and it is said that wherever the phrase فَرَضَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ occurs, it means إِيجَابٌ. (TA.) Also He (the apostle of God) instituted, or prescribed, [a thing as a statute, or an ordinance, or a command or prohibition;] syn. سَنَّ; (O, K;) on the authority of IAar alone: (O, TA:) but accord. to others, he made necessarily obligatory or binding; and this, says Az, is the obvious meaning. (TA.) Also He (a judge) decreed, or adjudged, [TA.) Also He (a judge) decreed, or adjudged, [a thing, as, for instance,] expenses [&c.]. (Msb.) Also He assigned, or appointed, a particular time for doing a thing; or he determined, defined, or limited, a thing as to time, or otherwise; the inf. n., فَرْضٌ, being syn. with تَوْقِيتٌ: (Ibn-'Arafeh, A, O, K:) as in the phrase فَمَنْ فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الحَجَّ [And whoso determineth the performance of the pilgrimage therein]; (Ibn-'Arafeh, O, K;) occurring in the Kur [ii. 193]; and in like manner it is expl. by Ibn-'Arafeh as occurring in xxxiii. 38 of the Kur (O, TA:) but the phrase quoted above is also expl. as meaning and whoso maketh it obligatory, or binding, on himself to perform the pilgrimage therein, by his entering upon the state of إِحْرَام. (TA.) b3: سُورَةٌ أَنْزَلْنَاهَا وَفَرَضْنَاهَا, (K,) in the Kur, [commencing chap. xxiv.,] (TA,) means [This is a chapter which we have revealed and] in which we have set down the obligatory statutes: (O, K:) or in which we have bound you to do according to what is made obligatory therein: (Az, O:) or, as some read, ↓ وَفَرَّضْنَاهَا, (S, O, K, *) meaning and in which we have set down obligatory statutes, (O, L, K,) one after another: (O, K:) or which we have distinctly explained: (Az, S, O, K:) or we have distinctly explained what is in it, of lawful and unlawful [things]. (T, TA.) b4: فَرْضٌ also signifies The act of reading, or reciting. (IAar, O, K.) You say, فَرَضْتُ جُزْئِى I read, or recited, my portion. (O, TA.) A3: فَرُضَ, inf. n. فَرَاضَةٌ, He was, or became, skilled in the فَرَائِض; (A, O, K, TA;) i. e. in the science of the division of inheritances. (TA.) MF says that, accord. to IKtt, the verb is also written فَرَضَ, like كَتَبَ: but [says SM] what I find in his “ Kitáb el-Abniyeh ” is the mention of the two modes of writing in the instance of فرضت said of a cow; and the verb applied to a man he has not mentioned. (TA.) A4: فَرَضَتْ, aor. ـِ inf. n. فُرُوضٌ; and فَرُضَتْ, inf. n. فَرَاضَةٌ; She (a cow) became old, aged, far advanced in age, (S, O, K,) or extremely old. (TA.) b2: And فَرَضَ, inf. n. فُرُوضٌ, signifies It (a thing) became wide; it widened, or dilated. (TA.) 2 فَرَّضَ see 1, first sentence: and again, in the last quarter of the paragraph.

A2: فرّض, inf. n. تَفْرِيضٌ, said of a man, He had a فَرِيضَة [to give from] among his camels. (O, K.) 4 افرض لَهُ: and افرضهُ: see 1, latter part of the first half of the paragraph.

A2: أَفْرَضَتِ المَاشِيَةُ The beasts amounted to the number which rendered it obligatory on the owner to give from among them a فَرِيضَة. (S, O, K. *) 8 افترضهُ: see 1, first sentence. b2: لَمْ يَفْتَرِضْهَا وَلَدٌ, occurring in a trad., means [A child had not been brought forth by her; lit.] لَمْ يَحُزَّهَا, and لَمْ يُوءَتِّرْهَا [a mistake for لم يُوءَشِّرْهَا]. (TA.) A2: See also 1, latter part of the first half of the paragraph.

A3: افترض الجُنْدٌ The soldiers received their stipends. (A, K.) A4: افترض القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, perished, none of them remaining; syn. انقرض. (K.) فَرْضٌ A mark [made by notching, or otherwise; as is shown by the first explanation of 1]: (TA:) a notch, or an incision, in a thing: (O, TA:) of a bow, (S, A, K,) the place of the string; (K;) the notch (S, A, O) in the curved extremity thereof, (A,) into which the string falls; (S, O;) as also ↓ فُرْضَةٌ; (A, TA;) or this is the place of the notch for the string thereof: (Msb:) pl. of the former فِرَاضٌ (S, O, K) and فُرُوضٌ; (TA;) and of the latter فُرَضٌ (Msb, TA) and فِرَاضٌ: (Msb:) also, of a زَنْد, (S, K,) or [rather] of a زَنْدَة, (A,) the notch; (K;) or the place, or part, whence the fire is produced; (S, K;) the hole, or perforation, that is made in the head thereof, into which the زَنْد is put, and then twisted round, in producing fire; also called وَكْرٌ; (A;) and ↓ فُرْضَةٌ signifies the same: (TA:) and فُرَضٌ also signifies notches in an unfeathered and headless arrow [such as is used in the game called المَيْسِر]. (TA.) A2: I. q. ↓ مَفْرُوضٌ (A, Msb, K) [Apportioned: appointed; made lawful, or allowable: and] a thing made obligatory, or binding, by God; (S, A, O, K;) for neglecting which one will be punished; like وَاجِبٌ; accord. to EshSháfi'ee; (TA in art. وجب;) because it has marks and limits; (S, O, TA;) said to be from the same word signifying “ a mark,” because it inseparably pertains to a man, like a mark; (TA;) or, as some say, because it necessarily pertains to a man like as does the فَرْض, i. e. notch, to the arrow; (O, TA;) as also ↓ مُفْتَرَضٌ: (TA:) pl. فُرُوضٌ. (Msb.) As a law-term, it is of two sorts, فَرْضُ عَيْنٍ and فَرْضُ كِفَايَةٍ: the former is That whereof the observance is obligatory on every one, and does not become of no force in respect of some in consequence of the observance [thereof] by some [others]; as religious belief, and the like: the latter is That whereof the observance is obligatory on the collective body of the Muslims, and, in consequence of the observance [thereof] by some, becomes of no force in respect of the rest; as warring against unbelievers, and the prayer over the dead in the bier. (KT.) Yousay, هٰذَا أَمْرٌ فَرْضٌ عَلَيْهِمْ, and ↓ مَفْرُوضٌ, and ↓ مُفْتَرَضٌ, This is [a thing] made obligatory, or binding, on them by God. (TA.) And حَقُّكَ فَرْضٌ, and ↓ مَفْرُوضٌ, and ↓ مُفْتَرَضٌ, Thy right, or due, is [a thing] made obligatory, or binding, by God. (A.) ↓ نَصِيبًا مَفْرُوضًا, in the Kur [iv. 8 and 118], means A share, or portion, determined, defined, or limited, as to time, or otherwise: (Zj, Ibn-'Arafeh:) or, in iv. 118, a share, or portion, cut off and limited. (S, O.) [See also فَرِيضَةٌ.]

b2: A statute, an ordinance, a command or prohibition, of the Apostle of God; syn. سُنَّةٌ. (IAar, O, K.) [But فَرْضٌ is generally distinguished from سُنَّةٌ: the former, for instance, being applied to prayer appointed in the Kur-án; and the latter, to prayer appointed by Mohammad without allegation of a divine order.] b3: A gift, or a soldier's stipend or pay, syn. عَطَآءٌ, (A,) or عَطِيَّةٌ, (S, O, K,) assigned, or appointed. (S, O, K. *) In the copies of the K, مَوْسُومَة is put by mistake for مَرْسُومَة. (TA.) You say, مَا أَصَبْتُ مِنْهُ فَرْضًا وَلَا قَرْضًا I did not obtain from him an assigned, or appointed, gift, or soldier's stipend, (S, O, TA,) nor a gift to be requited, or a loan. (O, TA.) And فَرْضٌ also signifies A thing which one makes obligatory, or binding, on himself, and freely gives: or a thing which one gives liberally, not for a recompense. (IDrd, O, K.) A3: Also Soldiers who receive stipends; (K:) so accord. to Lth, as related by Az; but [Sgh says] I have not found it in the book of Lth: (O:) or soldiers having definite portions assigned to them: (A:) pl. فُرُوضٌ. (A, TA.) Yousay, عِنْدَهُ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الفَرْضِ He has with him a hundred soldiers &c. (A.) A4: A shield. (S, O, K.) Sakhr-el-Gheí says, describing lightning, (O, TA,) likening it to a light shield which an announcer of tidings was turning over and over with his hands that a party might see it and be gladdened [by the signal], (TA,) أَرِقْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ لَمْعِ البَشِيرِ يُقَلِّبُ بِالكَفِّ فَرْضًا خَفِيفًا [I was sleepless by reason of it, it being (in its flickering) like the signalling of the announcer of tidings turning over and over with the hand a light shield]: one should not say قُرْصًا خفيفا. (S, O, TA: but my copies of the S have قَلَّبَ instead of يُقَلِّبُ.) [See also what follows.] b2: And A stick, or piece of wood; syn. عُودٌ; thus [it means] in the verse (فِى البَيْتِ) accord. to El-Jumahee, (O, TA,) i. e. in the verse above-cited: (TA:) he says, الفَرْضُ فِى البَيْتِ عُودٌ: (O, TA:) whence the author of the K has been misled to explain الفَرْضُ as meaning عُودٌ مِنْ أَعْوَادِ البَيْتِ. (TA.) b3: And An arrow before it has been furnished with feathers and a head: (Akh, S, O, TA:) a meaning also heard by El-Jumahee: (O, TA:) and to this, in the hand of the player, 'Abeed ElAbras has likened lightning, accord. to the S; but Sgh says, in the TS, that he did not find the verse cited by J in the poetry of 'Abeed. (TA.) b4: And A piece of rag: another explanation heard by El-Jumahee. (O.) b5: And A garment, or piece of cloth: (O, K:) a meaning mentioned by As on the authority of some one or more of the Arabs of the desert, of Hudheyl. (O.) [See also فِرَاضٌ.] b6: And it is said that in the verse cited above it means the notch in the زَنْد [or rather زَنْدَة, mentioned in the first sentence of this paragraph]. (O, TA.) A5: A sort of dates (S, O, Msb, K) of 'Omán: (Msb:) As says that the best dates of 'Omán are these and the بَلْعَق: (S, O:) and AHn says, Certain of the desertArabs of 'Omán informed me that when the tree thereof has its fruit ripened, and the gathering is delayed, the fruit falls from its stones, and the raceme remains with nothing upon it but stones hanging to the ثَفَارِيق [by which they are attached to the ends of the stalks]. (TA.) فِرْضٌ The fruit of the دَوْم [or Theban palm] while continuing red.

(Mgh) its مَشْرَعَة: (As, A, Mgh:) pl., in this and the following senses, فُرَضٌ (TA) and فِرَاضٌ. (A, TA.) Hence the saying, in a trad., فَاجْعَلُوا السُّيُوفَ لِلْمَنَايَا فُرَضًا (assumed tropical:) Therefore make ye the swords to be مَشَارِع [here used in the sense of means of access] to death; (O, TA;) and offer, or expose, yourselves to martyrdom. (TA.) Hence also, فِرَاضٌ is used in the sense of ثُغُورٌ [pl. of ثَغْرٌ, q. v.]. (TA.) b4: Of a sea, or great river, The place where ships unload; syn. مَحَطُّ السُّفُنِ: (S, O, K:) or where they are stationed, near the bank of a river, or near the land.

(TA.) فَرِيضَةٌ, of the measure فَعِيلَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ: pl. فَرَائِضُ: said by some to be derived from فَرْضٌ signifying the act of “ apportioning,” or “ appointing; ” because فرائض are apportioned, or appointed: by others said to be from فَرْضٌ in relation to a bow. (Msb.) [These remarks apply to the word in all the senses here following.] b2: A subst. signifying A thing made obligatory, or binding, on a person or persons, (S, Mgh, TA) by God; (S, TA;) an obligatory statute or ordinance of God, in a general sense: pl. as above.

(Mgh, * Msb.) The phrase الفَرِيضَةُ العَادِلَةُ [The equitable portion of inheritance], in a trad. of Ibn-'Omár, is that respecting which the Muslims have agreed: or that for which the authority is elicited from the Kur-án and the Sunneh without there being in these any express statute respecting it: or that is equitably divided, agreeably with the portions and shares mentioned in the Kur-án and the Sunneh.

(Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) b2: And فلّكت, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) She became round in the breast; as also ↓ فَلَكَتْ. (K, TA. [For the latter verb, the CK has فَلِكَت.]) A2: See also فَلْكَةٌ, second sentence. b2: التَّفْكِيكُ also signifies The pastor's making, of course hair (هُلْب), a thing like the فَلْكَة (AA, T, S, O, TA) of the spindle, (AA, T, TA,) and inserting it into the tongue of the young unweaned camel, (AA, T, S, O, TA,) having perforated the tongue [for that purpose], (AA, T, TA,) in order that he may not such: (AA, T, S, O, TA:) accord. to Lth, فَلَّكْتُ الجَدْىَ signifies I put a twig around the tongue of the kid in order that it might not suck: but Az says that the right explanation of التفكيك is that of AA [given above]. (TA.) [See also 4 in art. جر, and 4 in art. لهج.]

فُلْكٌ A ship: (S, O, Msb, K, &c.:) [also particularly applied to the ark of Noah; as in the Kur-án vii. 62, &c.:] the word is generally thus only; but some say ↓ فُلُكٌ also, with two dammehs; and it is held that this may be the original form; and that فُلْكٌ may be a contraction, like as عُنْقٌ is [of غُنُقٌ accord. to Sb]: (MF, TA:) it is masc. and fem., (S, O, K, *) and sing. and pl., (S, O, K,) and Ibn-'Abbád says that it has فُلُوكٌ also for a pl.: (O:) [it is said that] it may be sing., and in this case masc.; and pl., and in this case fem.: (IB, Msb:) [but see what here follows:] it occurs in the Kur-án in the following (and other) places: in xxvi. 119, &c.; where it is sing. and masc.: (S, O, TA:) and in [xvi. 14 and] xxxv. 13; where it is pl. [and fem.]: (TA:) and in ii. 159; where it is fem., and may be either pl. or sing.: it seems that, when it is sing., it is regarded as meaning the مَرْكَب, and is therefore made masc.; or the سَفِينَة, and is therefore made fem.: (S, O, TA:) or, (K,) as Sb used to say, (S, O, TA,) the فُلْك that is a pl. [in meaning] is a broken pl. of that, (S, O, K, TA,) i. e. of the فُلْك, (IB, O, K, TA,) that is a sing. [in meaning]: and it is not like الجُنُبُ, which is sing. and pl. [in meaning], and the like thereof (S, O, K, TA) among substs., such as الطِّفْلُ &c.; (S, O, TA;) for فُلْكَانِ has been heard from the Arabs as dual of فُلْكٌ, but not جُنُبَانِ [or the like] as dual of جُنُبٌ [or the like]; and they say that what has not been dualized is not a pl. [form], but [is, or may be,] a homonym, and what has been dualized [is, or may be,] a pl. [form]: (MF, TA:) Sb then says in continuation, (TA,) for فُعْلٌ and فَعَلٌ share in application to one thing [or meaning], as العُرْبُ and العَرَبُ, (S, O, K, TA,) &c.; (S, O, TA;) and as it is allowable for فَعَلٌ to have for its pl. فُعْلٌ, as in the instance of أَسَدٌ and أُسْدٌ, so too فُعْلٌ may have for its pl. فُعْلٌ. (S, O, K, TA.) ↓ فُلْكِىٌّ is a dial. var. of فُلْكٌ; and Abu-d-Dardà read, [in the Kur x. 23,] كُنْتُمْ فِى الْفُلْكِىِّ [When ye are in the ships; where others read فى الفُلْكِ; and where the context shows that the pl. meaning is intended]. (IJ, TA.) A2: [It may also be a pl. of the word next following].

الفَلَكُ The place of the revolving of the stars; (O, K, TA;) [the celestial sphere: but generally imagined by the Arabs to be a material concave hemisphere; so that it may be termed the vault of heaven; or the firmament:] the astronomers say that it is [a term applied to every one, by itself, of] seven أَطْوَاق [by which they mean surrounding spheres], exclusive of the سَمَآء [or sky, as meaning the region of the clouds]; wherein have been set the seven stars [i. e. the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn], in every طَوْق [or surrounding sphere] a star, some being higher than others; revolving therein: (TA:) [it is also commonly imagined that above these is an eighth sphere, called by the astronomers فَلَكُ الثَّوَابِتِ (the sphere of the fixed stars), and by others فَلَكُ الكُرْسِىِّ; and above this, a ninth, called فَلَكُ الأَطْلَسِ and فَلَكُ العَرْشِ, and also called الأَثِيرُ (q. v.):] the pl. is أَفْلَاكٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (S, O, Msb, K, TA) and فُلُكٌ (K, TA) and فُلْكٌ may be another pl., like as أُسْدٌ and خُشُبٌ are pls. of أَسَدٌ and خَشَبٌ (S, O, TA. [Thus accord. to both of my copies of the S, as well as the O and TA: but it may be that أُسْدٌ and خُشْبٌ are mistranscriptions for أُسُدٌ and خُشُبٌ; and therefore that for فُلْكٌ (which is not mentioned as a pl. of فَلَكٌ in the K) we should read فُلُكٌ.]) And فَلَكُ السَّمآءِ signifies The pole of heaven; [generally the north celestial pole;] likened to the pivot, or axis, of the mill-stone. (TA.) b2: Also (i. e. الفَلَكُ) The revolving of the heaven [or celestial sphere]. (TA.) b3: And فَلَكٌ signifies also The circuit, and main part, of any-thing. (K.) b4: And Waves of the sea in a state of commotion, (O, K, TA,) circling, (TA,) and going to and fro. (O, TA.) This, (O, TA,) or what is next mentioned, (TA,) or the place of revolving of the stars, (O,) or the pole of heaven, (TA,) is meant in a trad. where it is said of a horse smitten by the [evil] eye, that he was as though he were turning in a فَلَك. (O, TA.) and Water put in motion by the wind, (O, K, TA,) going to and fro, in a state of commotion: (O, TA:) mentioned by Z. (TA.) b5: Also A hill, or mound, of sand, having around it a wide expanse of land: (IAar, O, K, TA:) or فَلَكٌ مِنَ الرَّمْلِ signifies rugged, round أَجْوِبَة [app. a pl. of جَوْبَة (though I do not find it mentioned as such), and meaning depressed and clear places], of the sands, like [tracts of] what are termed كَذَّان [or soft stones resembling dry pieces of clay], hollowed out by the gazelles. (TA.) b6: And Pieces of land, (S, O, K, TA,) or of sand, (S,) having a circular form, and elevated above what is around them, (S, O, K, TA,) with ruggedness and evenness; (TA;) one whereof is termed ↓ فَلْكَةٌ, (S, O, K, TA,) with the ل quiescent; pl. فِلَاكٌ; (K, TA;) i. e. [this is pl. of فَلْكَةٌ,] like قَصْعَةٌ and قِصَاعٌ: (TA:) in [the book entitled] El-Ghareeb ElMusannaf, [by Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, we find] ↓ فَلَكَةٌ and فَلَكٌ, [each] بِالتَّحْرِيك; [accord. to which, فَلَكَةٌ is a n. un., and فَلَكٌ is a coll. gen. n.;] but in “ the Book ” of Sb, [agreeably with the K, we find] ↓ فَلْكَةٌ [as a sing.] and فَلَكٌ [as a quasi-pl. n.], like حَلْقَةٌ and حَلَقٌ. (IB, TA.) b7: See also فَلْكَةٌ, in two places.

فَلِكٌ A slave (AA, O) having a buttock like the فَلْكَة [or whirl] of a spindle (AA, O, K) in shape; (AA, O;) resembling the Zenj; (K;) [for] the buttocks of the Zenj are round: (AA, O:) or large in the buttocks. (TA.) And (O, K) it is said to signify (O) Thick, or coarse of make, in the joints: (O, K:) and loose in the bones; (K;) or weak, loose in the bones, and flaccid; thus expl. by Ibn-'Abbád: (O:) and having a pain in his patella (فِى فَلْكَةِ رُكْبَتِهِ). (O, K.) فُلُكٌ: i. q. فُلْكٌ, q. v.

A2: And a pl. of فَلَكٌ. (K, TA.) فَلْكَةٌ The whirl of a spindle: (MA:) [this is what is meant by the saying that] the فَلْكَة of the مِغْزَل is well known; (K;) [and] is thus called because of its roundness: (S, O:) [it is a piece of wood, generally of a hemispherical form, or nearly so, through the middle of which the upper part of the spindle-pin is inserted:] also pronounced ↓ فِلْكَة: (O, K:) the pl. [of the former] is ↓ فَلَكٌ [or rather this is a quasi-pl. n.] and [that of the latter sing. is] فِلَكٌ. (TA.) b2: And A thing that is made round, or hemispherical, (↓ يُفَلَّكُ, or ↓ يُفْلَكُ, accord. to different copies of the K,) like the فَلْكَة of the spindle, of coarse hair (هُلْب), then the tongue of the young unweaned camel is perforated, [and this thing is inserted into it, (see 2, and see also 4 in art. لهج,)] in order that he may be prevented from sucking. (K. [For فتَخْرِقُ لِسانُ الفَصِيلِ in the CK, I read فَيُخْرَقُ لِسَانُ الفَصِيلِ, as in other copies of the K and in the TA: after these words, the copies of the K have فَيُعْضَدُ بِهِ, app a mistranscription for some phrase meaning فَيُجْعَلُ فِيهِ, which is necessary to complete the explanation.]) b3: And An [eminence such as is termed] أَكَمَهٌ [formed] of one mass of stone; (K, TA;) accord. to ISh, [of] the smaller of the [eminences termed] إِكَام, compact in its head, as though this were the فَلْكَة of a spindle, not giving growth to anything, in height of the measure of two spears or a spear and a half. (TA.) b4: See also فلَكٌ, near the end, in two places. b5: Also Anything circular, (K.) b6: And [particularly] The joint [or cartilaginous disk] between the two vertebræ [i. e. between any one of the vertebrœ and that next to it] of the camel: (K, TA:) and the pl. [or rather quasi-pl. n.] thereof, in this sense and in the last two of the sense following, is ↓ فَلَكٌ. (TA.) b7: [and The cap of the knee; (see فَلِكٌ;) فَلْكَةُ الرُّكْبَةِ signifying the patella: so in the present day.] b8: And The small thing (الهَنَةُ [app. the foramen cæcum, from its round form, for, though the TA adds the epithet النَّاشِئَةُ, which means “ rising,” I think that this addition may be conjectural,]) upon the head of the root of the tongue. (K.) b9: And The side of the [portion of the breast called the] زَوْر [q. v.], and the part thereof that is round, or circular. (K. [K. [But see بَلْدَةٌ: where it is said that “ the فَلَك of the زَوْر of a horse are six in number: ” what they are I have been unable to determine: I incline to think that they may be spiral curls, such as are termed دَوَائِر, pl. of دَائِرَةٌ.]) فِلْكَةٌ: see فَلْكَةٌ, first sentence.

فَلَكَةٌ: see فَلَكٌ, near the end.

فُلْكِىٌّ: see فُلْكٌ, last sentence but one.

فَلَكِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, the فَلَك as meaning the celestial sphere. b2: And] One who occupies himself [as an astronomer, or astrologer] with the science of the stars. (TA.) فُلَيْكَةٌ [dim. of فُلْكٌ, which is sometimes fem. when used as a sing. as well as when used as a pl.,] A small ship: the vulgar say فلوكة [i. e.

فَلُوكَة; whence the Italian “ feluca ”]. (TA.) فَالِكٌ and ↓ مُفَلِّكٌ A girl whose breast is becoming round, (K, TA,) like the فَلْكَة [or whirl (of a spindle)]. (TA.) [And the former is also applied as an epithet to the breast: for] AA says that [the pl.] فَوَالِكُ is applied to breasts (ثُدِىّ) that are less than such as are termed نَوَاهِدُ. (TA.) فَيْلَكُونٌ The شُوبَق [or baker's rolling-pin: see the latter word]: (O, K, TA: [in the CK, السَّوِيقُ is erroneously put for الشُّوبَقُ:]) Az holds both of these words to be arabicized. (O.) b2: And (TA) The بَرْدِىّ [or papyrus]. (S; and K in art. فلكن.) A2: And Tar, or pitch; syn. قَارٌ, or زِفْتٌ. (K. n art. فلكن.) A3: And قَوْسٌ فَيْلَكُونٌ A great bow.
