(Msb.) You say, سَعِدْتُ بِهِ and سُعِدْتُ [I was, or became, prosperous, &c., by means of him, or it]. (A.) In the Kur xi. 110, Ks read سُعِدُوا [instead of the common reading سَعِدُوا]. (S.) [See also سَعَادَةٌ, below.] b2: And سَعَدَ يَوْمُنَا, aor. ـَ inf. n. سُعُودٌ (S, K) and سَعْدٌ, (K,) Our day was, or became, prosperous, fortunate, auspicious, or lucky; (S, K;) [contr. of نَحِسَ; and in like manner the verb is used in relation to a star or an asterism &c.; and] سُعِدَ, inf. n. سَعْدٌ, signifies [likewise] the contr. of نُحِسَ. (Mgh.) [See also سُعُودَةٌ, below.] b3: سَعَدَ المَآءُ فِىالأَرْضِ means The water came upon the land unsought; i. e., came flowing [naturally] upon the surface of the land, not requiring a machine to raise it for the purpose of irrigation. (TA, from a trad.) A2: See also 4, in three places.3 ساعدهُ, (A, L, Msb,) inf. n. مُسَاعَدَةٌ (S, L, Msb) and سِعَادٌ; (L;) and ↓ اسعدهُ, (K,) inf. n. إِسْعَادٌ; (S;) He aided, assisted, or helped, him; syn. of the former عَاوَنَهُ, (S, * L, Msb,) and of the latter أَعَانَهُ: (S, * K:) [like as is said of عَاوَنَهُ and أَعَانَهُ,] both signify the same: or مُسَاعَدَةٌ signifies the aiding, or assisting, or helping, in any manner or case; and is said to be from a man's putting his arm, or hand, upon the سَاعِد [or fore arm] of his companion when they walk together to accomplish some object of want, and aid each other to do a thing: [so that سَاعَدَهُ more properly signifies he aided him, being aided by him: but see سَاعِدٌ:] whereas ↓ إِسْعَادٌ signifies specially a woman's aiding, assisting, or helping, another to wail for a dead person: so says El-Khattábee: and this is what is meant in a trad. in which اسعاد is forbidden. (L.) One says, ساعدهُ عَلَيْهِ [He aided, assisted, or helped him against him, or it, or to do it]: and النَّائِحَةُ الثَّكْلَى ↓ أَسْعَدَتِ The wailing-woman assisted the woman bereft of her child to weep and wail. (A.) Accord. to Fr, [but this is questionable,] the primary signification of مُسَاعَدَةٌ and ↓ إِسْعَادٌ is A man's performing diligently the command and good pleasure of God. (L.) 4 اسعدهُ اللّٰهُ, [inf. n. إِسْعَادٌ,] God rendered him prosperous, fortunate, happy, or in a state of felicity; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ سَعَدَهُ, aor. ـَ (T, Msb, TA;) but the former is the more common. (Msb.) And اسعد اللّٰهُ جَدَّهُ, (A, L,) God made his good fortune to increase; as also ↓ سَعَدَ جَدَّهُ. (L.) And accord. to Az, اسعدهُ اللّٰهُ and ↓ سَعَدَهُ signify God aided, assisted, or helped, him; and accommodated, adapted, or disposed, him to the right course. (L, TA.) See also 3, in four places.5 تسعّد He sought after the plant called سَعْدَان. (K.) 10 استسعد بِهِ He deemed it, or reckoned it, fortunate, auspicious, or lucky. (K.) You say, استسعد بِرُؤْيَةِ فُلَانٍ He deemed, or reckoned, the sight of such a one fortunate, auspicious, or lucky. (S.) b2: He became fortunate by means of him, or it. (MA.) b3: He sought good fortune by means of him, or it. (MA.) b4: [And استسعدهُ He desired, or demanded, his aid or assistance: for] اِسْتِسْعَادٌ also signifies the desiring, or demanding, aid or assistance [of another]. (KL.) سَعْدٌ an inf. n. of سَعِدَ, (Msb,) or of سُعِدَ, (MA,) or of both: (TA:) and of سَعَدَ: (K, TA:) [and also used as a simple subst.:] see سَعَادَةٌ [with which it is syn.]: and see also سُعُودَةٌ [with which it is likewise syn.]; i. q. يُمْنٌ. (S, A.) b2: It is also an inf. n. used as an epithet, i. e. Prosperous, fortunate, auspicious, or lucky, applied to a day, and to a star or an asterism [&c.: so that it may be used alike as masc. and fem. and sing. and pl.: but it is also used as originally an epithet, forming its fem. with ة; and in this case it has for pl. of mult. سُعُودٌ and pl. of pauc.

أَسْعُدٌ]: you say يَوْمٌ سَعْدٌ, as well as يَوْمُ سَعْدٍ [in which it is used as a subst.]; and كَوْكَبٌ سَعْدٌ: and IJ mentions لَيْلَةٌ سَعْدَةٌ, in which سَعْدَةٌ is like جَعْدَةٌ as fem. of جَعْدٌ. (L.) b3: [Hence,] السَّعْدَانِ is an appellation of The two planets Venus and Mercury: like as [the contr.] النَّحْسَانِ is applied to Saturn and Mars. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA in art. نحس.) b4: And [hence, also,] سَعْدٌ is an appellation given to Each of ten asterisms, (S, L, K,) four of which are in the signs of Capricornus and Aquarius, (S, L,) and are Mansions of the Moon: pl. [of mult.] سُعُودٌ (S, L, K) and سُعُدٌ; but the former is the more known, and more agreeable with analogy; and pl. of pauc. أَسْعُدٌ: (L:) they are distinguished by the following names: — سَعْدُ الذَّابِحِ, (S, L, K,) [or سَعْدٌ الذَّابِحُ, see art. ذبح,] Two stars near together, one of which is called الذابح because with it is a small obscure star, almost close to it, and it seems as though the former were about to slaughter it; and الذابح is a little brighter that it; (Ibn-Kunáseh;) they are the two stars α and β] which are in one of the horns of Capricornus; so called because of the small adjacent star, which is said to be the sheep (شاة) of الذابح, which he is about to slaughter; the Twenty-second Mansion of the Moon: (Kzw:) [see also art. ذبح:] b5: سَعْدُ بُلَعَ (S, L, K) Two obscure stars, lying obliquely, of which Aboo-Yahyà says, the Arabs assert that they rose [at dawn] when God said, يَا أَرْضُ ابْلَعِى مَآءَكِ [Kur xi. 46]; and said to be thus called because one of them seems as though about to swallow the other, on account of its nearness to it: (Ibn-Kunáseh:) or three stars [app. ε and μ with the star of the same magnitude next to them on the north] on [or rather near] the left hand of Aquarius; [the Twenty-third Mansion of the Moon:] (Kzw, descr. of Aquarius:) [See also art. بلع:] b6: سَعْدُ السُّعُودِ (S, L, K) Two stars, the most approved of the سُعُود, and therefore thus named, resembling سعد الذابح [app. a mistake for سَعْدُ البَارِعِ, or some other سعد, not of the Mansions of the Moon,] in the time of their [auroral] rising; (Ibn-Kunáseh;) the star β] which is on the left shoulder-joint of Aquarius, together with the star δ] in the tail of Capricornus; [the Twentyfourth Mansion of the Moon:] (Kzw, descr. of Aquarius:) or a certain solitary bright star: (S:) b7: سَعْدُ الأَخْبِيَةِ (S, L, K) [also called الأَخْبِيَةُ and الخِبَآءُ (see خِبَآءٌ in art. خبى)] Three stars, not in the track of the other سُعُود, but declining from it [a little], in, or respecting, which there is a discordance; they are neither very obscure nor very bright; and are thus called because, when they rise [aurorally], the venomous or noxious reptiles of the earth, such as scorpions and serpents, come forth from their holes; (Ibn-Kuná- seh;) [and this observation is just; for this asterism, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, rose aurorally, in Central Arabia, on the 24th of February, O. S., after the end of the cold season: see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل:] or it consists of three stars, like the three stones upon which the cooking-pot is placed, with a fourth below one of them; (S;) the star [g] that is on the right arm, together with the three stars ζ, η, and π,] on the right hand of Aquarius: so called because, when it rises [aurorally], the venomous or noxious reptiles that have hidden themselves beneath the ground by reason of the cold appear: (Kzw, descr. of Aquarius; [in some copies, incorrectly, for “ that have hidden themselves,” &c., “ hide themselves beneath the ground by reason of the cold: ”]) it is said that the سعد is one star, the brightest of four, the other three of which are obscure; and it is [correctly] said to be called thus because, when it rises [aurorally], the venomous or noxious reptiles that are hidden beneath the ground come forth: it is the Twenty-fifth Mansion of the Moon: (Kzw, descr. of the Mansions of the Moon:) b8: the following are the other سعود, which are not Mansions of the Moon: (S, L, K:) b9: سَعْدُ نَاشِرَةَ (S, L, K) [Two stars, situate, accord. to Ideler, as is said in Freytag's Lex., in the tail of Capricornus]: b10: سَعْدُ المَلِكِ (S, L, K) The two stars [a and o?] on the right shoulder of Aquarius: (Kzw:) b11: سَعْدُ البِهَامِ (S, L, K) The two stars ε and θ?] on the head of Pegasus: (Kzw: [but ii. the copies of his work the name is written سَعْدُ البَهَائِمِ:]) b12: سَعْدُ الهُمَامِ (S, L, K) The two stars ζ and 31 ?] on the neck of Pegasus: (Kzw:) سَعْدُ البَارِعِ (S, L, K) The two stars near together μ and and λ?] in the breast of Pegasus: (Kzw:) b13: سَعْدُ مَطَرٍ (S, L, K) The two stars η and ο ?] on the right [or left ?] knee of Pegasus: (Kzw: but there called سَعْدُ المَطَرِ:) b14: each سعد of these six consists of two stars: between every two stars, as viewed by the eye, is [said to be] a distance of a cubit, (ذِرَاع,) (S, L,) or about a cubit; (K;) [but this is not correct;] and they are disposed in regular order. (S, L.) b15: It is also the name of A certain object of idolatrous worship that belonged to the sons of Milkán (S, K) the son of Kináneh, (S,) in a place on the shore of the sea, adjacent to Juddeh. (TA.) A poet says, وَهَلْ سَعْدُ إِلَّا صَخْرَةٌ بِتَنُوفَةٍ

مِنَ الأَرْضِ لَا تَدْعُو لِغَىٍّ وَلَا رُشْدِ [And is Saad aught but a mass of rock in a desert tract of the earth, not inviting to error nor to a right course?]. (S, TA.) Hudheyl is said to have worshipped it in the Time of Ignorance. (TA.) b16: بِنْتُ سَعْدٍ is metonymically used as meaning (tropical:) The virginity, or hymen, of a girl or woman. (TA.) b17: ↓ أَسَعْدٌ أَمْ سُعَيْدٌ, meaning (tropical:) Is it a thing liked or a thing disliked? (S, A, K,) is a prov., (S, A,) which [is said to have] originated from the fact that Saad and So'eyd, [the latter name erroneously written in some copies of the S and K سَعِيد,] the two sons of Dabbeh the son of Udd, went forth (S, K, TA) to seek some camels belonging to them, (TA,) and Saad returned, but So'eyd was lost, and his name became regarded as unlucky: (S, K, TA:) Dabbeh used to say this when he saw a dark object in the night: and hence it is said in allusion to care for one's relation; and in inquiring whether a good or an evil event have happened. (TA.) [The saying may also be rendered, Is it a fortunate thing or a little fortunate thing?] b18: سَعْدَيْكَ, in the saying لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ, signifies Aiding Thee after aiding [i. e. time after time]; syn. إِسْعَادًا لَكَ بَعْدَ إِسْعَادٍ: (ISk, T, S, L, K:) or aiding Thee and then aiding: (Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà, L:) or aiding thy cause after aiding [i. e. time after time]: (T, L:) and hence it is in the dual number: (IAth, L:) El-Jarmee says that it has no sing.; and Fr says the same of it, and also of لَبَّيْكَ: it is in the accus. case as an inf. n. governed by a verb understood. (L.) It occurs in the form of words preceding the recitation of the Opening Chapter of the Kur-án in prayer, لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالخَيْرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَالسَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ [meaning I wait intent upon thy service, or upon obedience to Thee, time after time, and upon aiding thy cause time after time; and good is before Thee, and evil is not imputable to Thee]. (L, TA.) A2: Also The third part of the لَبِنَة [or gore] (K, TA) of a shirt: (TA:) [the dim.] ↓ سُعَيْدٌ signifies the fourth part thereof. (K, TA.) سُعْدٌ and ↓ سُعَادَى A certain kind of perfume, (S, K,) well known: (K:) or the former is pl. of ↓ سُعْدَةٌ, [or rather a coll. gen. n. of which سُعْدَةٌ is the n. un.,] and this last is [the name of] a certain kind of sweet-smelling root; it is a rhizoma (أَرُومَة), round, black, hard, like a knot; which forms an ingredient in perfumes and medicines: (AHn:) and ↓ سُعَادَى is the name of its plant; (Lth, AHn;) and its pl. is سُعَادَيَاتٌ: (AHn:) or the سُعْد is a certain plant having a root (أَصْل) beneath the ground, black, and of sweet odour: and the ↓ سُعَادَى is another plant: (Az:) [in the present day, the former of these two names (سُعْد) is applied to a species of cyperus: a species thereof is termed by Forskål (in his Flora Aegypt. Arab, pp. lx. and 14,) cyperus complanatus; and he writes its Arabic name “ sæad ” and “ sææd: ”] it has a wonderful efficacy applied to ulcers, or sores, that heal with difficulty.

دُرُوعٌ سَعْدِيَّةٌ Coats of mail of the fabric of a town called السَّعْدُ. (TA.) سَعْدَانٌ, in which the ن is an augmentative letter, because there is not in the language any word of the measure فَعْلَالٌ except خَزْعَالٌ and قَهْقَارٌ unless it is of the reduplicative class, (S,) A certain plant, (S, K,) growing in the plain, or soft, tracts, (TA,) one of the best kinds of the pastures of camels, (S, K,) as long as it continues fresh; (TA;) having [a head of] prickles, (T, S, K,) called حَسَكَةُ السَّعْدَانِ, (T, S,) to which the nipple [or the areola] of a woman's breast is likened: (S, K: [see سَعْدَانَةٌ, below:]) the Arabs say that the camels that yield the sweetest milk are those that eat this plant: (TA:) and they fatten upon it: (Az, TA:) it is of the kind of plants called أَحْرَار [pl. of حُرٌّ, meaning slender, and succulent or soft or sweet], dust-coloured, and sweet, and eaten by everything that is not large, [as well as by camels,] and it is one of the most wholesome kinds of pasture: (AHn, TA:) it is a herb, or leguminous plant, having a round fruit with a prickly face, which, when it dries, falls upon the ground on its back, and when a person walking treads upon it, the prickles wound his foot: it is one of the best of their pastures in the days of the رِبيع, and sweetens the milk of the camels that feed upon it; for it is sweet as long as it continues fresh; and in this state men such it and eat it: (Az, L:) the n. un. is with ة. (TA.) Hence the prov., مَرْعًى وَلَا كَالسَّعْدَانِ [Pasture, but not like the سعدان]: (S, K:) said of a thing possessing excellence, but surpassed in excellence by another thing; or of a thing that excels other things of the like kind.

I declare, or celebrate, or extol, his (i. e. God's) remoteness, or freedom, from every imperfection, or impurity, &c., (see art. سبح,) and I render Him obedience, or aid his cause].

(S.) السَّرْوُ, (S, K,) or سَرْوُ حِمْيَرَ, occurring in a trad., is said to mean مَحَلَّةُ حِمْيَرَ [The settlement of Himyer]. (S, M, K.) A3: and A certain kind of tree, (S, M, K,) well-known; (K;) [the common, or evergreen, cypress; cupressus sempervirens of Linn.: applied thereto in the present day: (Delile's Floræ Aegypt. Illustr., no. 900:)] n. un. with ة. (S, M, K.) A4: and Certain worms that light upon plants, (M, K, TA,) and eat them: (M:) الثِّيَاب, in [some of] the copies of the K, is a mistranscription for النَّبَات: (TA:) sing. [or rather n. un.] with ة.

(S, M, Msb, K.) سَرْوَةٌ n. un. of سَرْوٌ [q. v.] in two senses.

A2: See also سِرْوَةٌ.

سُرْوَةٌ: see what next follows.

سِرْوَةٌ (Th, AHn, T, S, M, K) and ↓ سُرْوَةٌ (Th, M, IAth, K) and ↓ سَرْوَةٌ (Kr, M, K) A small arrow: (S:) or a small and short arrow: or an arrow broad and long in the head; (M, K, TA;) but therewithal slender and short; with which one shoots at the butt: (TA:) or such as is round and smooth, not broad; the broad and long being termed مِعْبَلَةٌ: (M:) or the very slenderest of arrow-heads, that penetrates into the coats of mail: (Th, M:) or it [is an arrow that] penetrates into the coats of mail, for which reason it is called الدِّرْعِيَّةُ, its head entering like the needle: (T, TA:) or an arrow-head resembling an ordinary needle or a large needle: it is mentioned also in art. سرى, [as being a small, short, round and smooth arrow-head, having no breadth, and as being called سِرْوَةٌ and سِرْيَةً,] because the word belongs to that art. and to this: (M:) [see also مِرْمَاةٌ; and see سِرْوَةٌ in art. سرأ:] the pl. is سُرًى [or سِرًى?] accord. to the T, or سِرَآءٌ accord. to the S. (TA.) A2: The first (سِرْوَةٌ) also signifies The locust in its first state, when it is a larva; (S;) or in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg: (M:) originally with hemz: (S:) [see سَرْءٌ, in two places:] and سِرْيَةٌ is a dial. var. thereof. (S.) [See also جَرَادٌ.]

سَرِىٌّ, as an epithet applied to a man, (S, M, K, &c.,) may be from اِسْتَرَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ “ I chose, or selected, the thing,” or from السَّرَاةُ “ the higher, or highest, part ” of a thing, (Ham p. 337,) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, from سَرَوْتُ الثَّوْبَ عَنِّى “ I pulled off the garment from me,” (TA, [in which this derivation is said to be good, but I think it far-fetched,]) Possessing liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: (S, Mgh:) or possessing manliness, or manly virtue, (M, K,) and, (M,) or combined with, (K,) high or elevated rank or condition, nobility, dignity, honour, or glory: (M, K:) or i. q. رَئِيسٌ [meaning a chief, or person high in rank or condition]: (Msb:) [or a generous and manly or noble person:] fem. with ة: (M, K:) and ↓ مَسْرَوَانٌ signifies the same, applied to a man; and ↓ مَسْرَوَانَةٌ applied to a woman: (M:) the pl. of سَرِىٌّ is أَسْرِيَآءُ and سُرَوَآءُ (Lh, M, K) and سُرًى, (Az, K,) which is anomalous, (TA,) and سَرَاةٌ, (T, S, Mgh, * Msb,) [originally سَرَوَةٌ,] which is [also] anomalous, (T, TA,) the only instance of فَعَلَةٌ as the measure of a pl. of a word of the measure فَعِيلٌ, (S, Msb,) or it is a quasi-pl. n., (Sb, M, K,) and its pl. is سَرَوَاتٌ; (S, M, Mgh, * K;) meaning سَادَاتٌ [or chiefs, &c.]; (Mgh); and سُرَاةٌ, with damm, [originally سُرَوَةٌ,] is a dial. var. of سَرَاةٌ, as pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] of سَرِىٌّ: (IAth, TA:) the pl. of سَرِيَّةٌ is سَرِيَّاتٌ and سَرَايَا. (M, K.) Also Chosen, or choice, or select: (M:) what is good of anything; pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] سَرَاةٌ: (Ham p. 337:) the best, (Msb, TA, and Har p. 56,) and in like manner سَرَاةٌ [as a pl.]; (M, Msb, TA, and Ham p. 57, and Har ubi suprà;) the former, of men, (Har ubi suprà,) and of camels; (S;) and the latter, of men, (S, TA, and Ham ubi suprà, and Har,) and of cattle or camels and the like, (S, M, TA,) as also the former. (TA.) A2: See also art. سرى.

سُرِّيَّةٌ, said by some to be originally of the measure فُعُّولَةٌ, from سَرْوٌ: see art. سر.

أَسْرَى is of the measure أَفْعَلُ [denoting the comparative and superlative degrees] from السَّرْوُ signifying “ liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: ” [&c.:] whence the phrase أَسْرَاهُمْ سُودَدًا, meaning The best of them in respect of chiefdom or the like: or it may be from السُّرَى; meaning in this instance that the fame of the chiefdom, or the like, of him to whom it relates has pervaded the countries and spread among mankind; and this is more worthy of regard in respect of the method of grammatical analysis; from Mtr: (Har p. 363: [see art. سرى:]) [ISd, however, assigns the word to the present art.:] see 5, last sentence.

أَرْضٌ مَسْرُوَّةٌ A land containing the سِرْوَة, or locust in its first state, when it is a larva. (S.) [In a copy of the M, it is said to be from السَّرْوَةُ; and the context there indicates the meaning to be A land infested by a worm of the kind termed سَرْوٌ, of which سَرْوَةٌ is the n. un.: but probably السَّرْوَةُ, in this instance, is a mistranscription for السِّرْوَةُ, which is mentioned immediately after as meaning “ the locust in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg. ”]

مَسْرَوَانٌ; and its fem., with ة: see سَرِىٌّ.

دين

1 دَانَ, (IAar, S, K, TA,) aor. ـِ (IAar, M, K, TA,) [inf. n. دِينٌ, (which see below,) in this and most of the other senses, or the inf. n. is دَيْنٌ, and دِينٌ is a simple subst.,] He was, or became, obedient; he obeyed: (IAar, S, M, K, TA:) this is the primary signification: or, as some say, the primary signification is the following; namely, he was, or became, abased and submissive: (IAar, * K, * TA:) or he was, or became, abased and enslaved and obedient. (S.) You say, دَانَ لَهُ, (S,) and دِنْتُ لَهُ and دِنْتُهُ, (M, TA,) He, and I, was, or became, obedient to him [&c.], or obeyed him [&c.]. (S, M, TA.) and دِنْتُهُ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ (K,) I served him, did service for him, or ministered to him, and acted well to him. (M, K.) b2: [Hence,] He became [a servant of God, or] a Muslim. (TK.) Yousay, دَانَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ, inf. n. دِينٌ, with kesr, [and دِيَانَةٌ,] He became, or made himself, a servant of God by [following the religion of] El-Islám; [i. e. he followed El-Islám as his religion;] and so ↓ تديّن. (Msb.) And دَانَ بِكَذا, (S,) and دِنْتُ بِهِ, (M, K,) inf. n. دِيَانَةٌ [and دِينٌ]; and به ↓ تديّن, [and تديّنتُ به; He, and I, followed such a thing as his, and my, religion;] (S, TA;) from دِينٌ as signifying “ obedience. ” (S.) and دان بِدِينِهِمْ He followed them in their religion; agreed with them, or was of one mind or opinion with them, upon, or respecting, their religion; took, or adopted, their religion as his. (TA.) And the trad. of 'Alee, مَحَبَّةُ العُلَمَآءُ دِينٌ يُدَانُ اللّٰهُ بِهِ [The love of the learned is a kind of religion with which God is served]. (TA.) In the phrase وَ لَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الحَقِّ [Nor follow the religion of the truth, or the true religion], in the Kur ix. 29, El-Islám is meant. (Jel.) A2: Also He was, or became, disobedient; he disobeyed: and he was, or became, mighty, potent, powerful, or strong; or high, or elevated, in rank, condition, or state; noble, honourable, glorious, or illustrious. (IAar, T, K.) Thus it bears significations contr. to those mentioned in the first part of this paragraph. (MF.) A3: Also, (S, M, Msb, K,) first Pers\. دِنْتُ, (T, M8gh,) aor. as above, (T, S, Msb,) inf. n. دَيْنٌ, (S, Msb,) from المُدَايَنَةُ, (Msb, [see 3,]) i. q. أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ, (IKt, M, Msb, K,) or [rather] أَخَذَ دَيْنًا, (T,) [He took, or received, a loan, or the like; he borrowed: or he took, or received, or bought, upon credit; which is the meaning generally obtaining: and ↓ اِدَّانَ and ↓ أَدَانَ and ↓ استدان and ↓ تديّن signify [in like manner] أَخَذَ دَيْنًا: (K:) or the first, i. e. دان, signifies he sought, or demanded, a loan, or the like; (ISk, S, Mgh, Msb;) as also ↓ ادّان and ↓ استدان: (S, Mgh:) and he became indebted, in debt, or under the obligation of a debt: (S:) and ↓ ادّان and ↓ أَدَانَ and ↓ استدان signify أَخَذَ بِدَيْنٍ

أَخَذَ دَيْنًا]; (M;) or the first and last of these three signify أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ, and اِقْتَرَضَ [which means the same]: but ↓ أَدَانَ signifies he gave, or granted, what is termed دَيْنٌ [meaning a loan, or the like: or he gave, or granted, or sold, a thing upon credit]: (TA:) accord. to Esh-Sheybánee, this last verb signifies he became entitled to a debt from others [or from another]: Lth says that it (أَدَانَ) signifies he was, or became, such as is termed مُسْتَدِينٌ; [i. e. it is syn. with استدان, as it is said to be in the M and K;] but [Az says,] this, which has been mentioned on the authority of some one or more by Sh, is in my opinion a mistake; أَدَانَ means he sold upon credit; or became entitled to a debt from others [or from another]; (T, TA;) or he sold to persons upon a limited credit, or for payment at an appointed period, so that he became entitled to a debt from them: (S:) and accord. to Sh, ↓ ادّان signifies he became much in debt. (T, TA.) El-Ahmar cites the following verse of El-'Ojeyr Es-Saloolee: نَدِينُ وَيَقْضِى اللّٰهُ عَنَّا وَقَدْ نَرَى

مَصَارِعَ قَوْمٌ لَا يَدِينُونَ ضُيَّعِ [We incur debt, and God pays for us; and sometimes, or often, we see the places of overthrow of a people, who incur not debt, in a state of perdition]: in the S [and the T] ضُيَّعَا; but correctly as above; for the whole of the قَصِيدَة is مَخْفُوضَة. (IB, TA.) And it is said in a trad., مُعْرِضًا ↓ اِدَّانَ, (S, K,) or, as some relate it, دَانَ, (K,) He bought upon credit, or borrowed, or sought or demanded a loan, of whomsoever he could, addressing himself to such as came in his way: (S, TA:) or both mean he bought upon credit avoiding payment: or he contracted a debt with every one who presented himself to him: (K, TA: [see also other explanations voce مُعْرِضٌ:]) ↓ ادّان signifies he bought upon credit: (K:) or [thus and also] the contr., i. e. he sold upon credit. (T, K.) b2: It is also trans.; and so is ↓ أَدَانَ. (Msb.) You say, دِنْتُهُ, (M, Mgh, K, [in the CK دِينَةٌ is here put for دِنْتُهُ,]) inf. n. دَيْنٌ; (TA;) and ↓ أَدَنْتُهُ (M, Mgh, K,) inf. n. إِدَانَةٌ; (TA;) I gave him, or granted him, to a certain period, what is termed دَيْنٌ [meaning the loan, or the like; I lent to him: or I gave him, or granted him, credit; or sold to him, upon credit]: (M, K, TA:) so that he owed a debt: (TA:) and i. q. أَقْرَضْتُهُ [I gave him, or granted him, a loan, or the like]; (M, * Mgh, K;) as also ↓ دَيَّنْتُهُ: (Mgh:) or دِنْتُهُ has this last meaning: (A 'Obeyd, S, M:) and ↓ أَدَنْتُهُ signifies I sought, or demanded, of him a loan, or the like; syn. اِسْتَقْرَضْتُ مِنْهُ; as also ↓ اِسْتَدَنْتُهُ: (M:) or دِنْتُهُ has each of the last two meanings: (A 'Obeyd, T, Msb:) and signifies also I received from him a loan, or the like. (K.) And one says, ↓ أَدِنِّى

عَشَرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ meaning Lend thou to me ten dirhems. (S, TA.) A4: دانهُ, (S,) first Pers\. دِنْتُهُ, (M, Msb, K,) inf. n. دِينٌ (S, M, K) and دَيْنٌ, (M, K,) or the latter is the inf. n. and the former is a simple subst., (M,) also signifies He repaid, requited, compensated, or recompensed, him, (S, M, Msb, K,) بِفِعْلِهِ for his deed: and so ↓ داينهُ, inf. n. مُدَايَنَةٌ and دِيَانٌ. (M.) And دِنَّاهُمْ We did to them like as they did to us. (Ham p. 10.) One says, كَمَا تَدِينُ تُدَانُ, (T, S, M,) a prov., (M,) meaning Like as thou repayest, or requitest, &c., thou shalt be repaid, or requited, &c.; (S, M;) i. e. according to thy deed thou shalt be repaid, or requited, &c.: (S:) or, as some say, like as thou doest, it shall be done to thee: (M:) or like as thou doest thou shalt be given, and repaid, &c. (T.) And it is said in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ دِنْهُمْ كَمَا يَدِينُونَنَا, meaning O God, repay them, or requite them, &c., with [the like of] that which they do to us. (TA.) b2: اَللّٰهُ لَيَدِينُ مِنَ الجَمّآءِ لِلْقَرْنَآءِ, a trad. of Selmán, means God will assuredly retaliate [for her that is hornless upon her that is horned]. (TA.) b3: And one says, مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ رَبِحَ, i. e. He who reckons with himself [gains] (Ham p. 10. [Or the verb may here have the meaning next following.]) A5: Also, دانهُ, He abased him, (T, S, K,) and enslaved him. (T, S.) Hence, (T,) it is said in a trad., الكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ المَوْتِ, (S, T,) i. e. [The intelligent is] he who abases, and enslaves, himself [and works for that which shall be after death]: or, as some say, who reckons with himself: (T:) or, accord. to some, who overcomes himself. (TA.) And دانهُ, (K,) first Pers\. دِنْتُهُ, (T,) signifies He made him to do that which he disliked. (Az, T, K.) And دِينَ He was made to do that which he disliked. (T.) b2: And دِنْتُهُ, inf. n. دِينٌ, I ruled, governed, or managed, him, or it. (M, TA.) And I possessed it; owned it; or exercised, or had, authority over it. (Sh, S, K, TA.)

(Mgh.) b3: دَيَّنْتُ الحَالِفَ (T, TA) I confirmed the swearer (قَوَّيْتُهُ [so in the TA, but in the T بَرَّيْتُهُ, app. for بَرَّأْتُهُ, I held him, or pronounced him, to be clear, or quit, if not a mistranscription for قَوَّيْتُهُ,]) in that which he swore.

(TA.) 4 ادان, inf. n. إِدَانَةٌ; as an intrans. v.: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in three places. b2: As a trans. v.: see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph, in four places. b3: [The following significations, namely, “Subegit,” and “ Pensavit,” assigned to this verb by Golius as on the authority of the KL, and “ Voluit sibi esse servum,” and “ Servum cepit,” followed by an accus., assigned to it by him as on the authority of the S, I do not find in either of those works.]5 تديّن: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in three places.6 تَدَايَنُوا They sold and bought, one with another, upon credit; and in like manner تَدَايَنَا is said of two persons: (S:) or they took, or received, or bought, upon credit [app. one of another]: and so اِدَّايَنُوا [which is a variation of the former]. (M.) إِذَا تَدَيَنْتُمْ بِدَيْنٍ, in the Kur ii. 282, means When ye deal, one with another, (Ksh, Bd, Jel, Msb,) upon credit, giving or taking, (Ksh, * Bd,) or by prepayment, (Jel, Msb,) or lending or the like, (Jel,) &c.

دَيْنٌ [is an inf. n. of 1: b2: and is also a simple subst., and] properly signifies [A debt; such as] the price of a thing sold [which the purchaser is under an obligation to pay]; and a dowry [which one engages to pay]: and a loan, or the like; syn. قَرْض: (Msb:) or it is [a debt] such as has an appointed time of falling due: what has not such an appointed time is [properly, but not always,] termed قَرْضٌ: (K:) and ↓ دِينَةٌ signifies the same as دَيْنٌ (T, M, K) in the sense above explained: (K:) a valid دَينْ (دَينٌ صَحِيحٌ) is such as does not become annulled save by payment, or by one's being declared clear, or quit: compensation in the case of a contract which a slave makes with his owner to pay him a certain sum as the price of himself and on the payment thereof to be free is not a valid دَيْن, because it may become annulled without payment, and without his being declared clear, or quit; that is, by the slave's being unable to pay it: (KT:) in the language of the law, but not in the proper language, دَيْنٌ is also applied to (assumed tropical:) [a debt incurred by] a thing taken unjustly, injuriously, or by violence; as being likened to a دَيْن properly so called: (Msb:) and it signifies also anything that is not present: [app. meaning anything to be paid, or done, at a future time:] (M, K:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَدْيُنٌ (Lh, M, K) and [of mult.] دُيُونٌ (S, M, K) [and in the CK is added and دِينَةٌ, with kesr; but this is a mistranscription for دِنْتُهُ, as syn. with أَدَنْتُهُ, which follows it, connected therewith by وَ]: the pl. of ↓ دِينَةٌ is دِيَنٌ. (TA.) Yousay, مَا أَكْثرَ دَيْنَهُ and ↓ دِينَتَهُ [How great in amount. is his debt!]; both meaning the same. (Az, T.) And ↓ جِئْتُ لِطَلَبِ الدِّينَةِ i. e. الدَّيْنِ [I came for the demanding of the debt]. (Az, T.)

بِالدَّيْنِ [He bought upon credit]: (K:) and أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ (IKt, M, Msb, K) or [rather] أَخَذَ دَيْنًا [signifies the same; or he took, or received, upon credit: or he took, or received, a loan, or the like; he borrowed]: (T, K:) and أَخَذَ بِدَيْنٍ

[likewise signifies the same; or he took, or received, by incurring a debt]. (M.) And بَاعَ بِالدَّيْنِ [He sold upon credit]: (K:) and بِعْثُهُ بِدَيْنٍ (TA) or ↓ بِدِينَةٍ (S) [I sold to him upon credit]: and أَعْطَيْتُهُ الدَّيْنَ [signifies the same; or I gave him, or granted him, credit: or I gave him, or granted him, the loan, or the like]. (M, K, TA.) b3: [Hence,] (tropical:) Death; (K, TA;) because it is a دَيْن [or debt] which every one must pay when [the angel who is] the demander of its payment comes. (TA.) And hence the prov., رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِدَيْنِهِ (tropical:) [May God smite him with his death]. (TA.) b4: Thaalebeh Ibn-'Obeyd says, describing palm-trees, تَضَمَّنُ الحَاجَاتِ العِيَالِ وَ ضَيْفِهِمْ وَمَهْمَا تَضَمَّنْ مِنْ دُيُونِهِمْ تَقْضِ

[They comprise the wants of the household and of their guest; and whatever they comprise of their debts, they pay]; by the دُيُون meaning what is obtained of their fruit that is gathered. (M, TA.) دِينٌ [is an inf. n. of 1: and is also used as a simple subst., signifying] Obedience; (T, S, M, K;) as also ↓ دِينَةٌ: (K: [in the M it is said, without any restriction, that دِينَةٌ is like دِينٌ:]) this is its primary meaning: and its pl. is أَدْيَانٌ: or, as some say, its primary meaning is that next following: (TA:) a state of abasement, (M, K, TA,) and submissiveness. (TA.) الدِّينُ لِلّٰهِ meansObedience to, and the service of, God.

(Er-Rághib, TA.) b2: A religion: (K, and in one of my copies of the S:) pl. as above: (S:) so termed as implying obedience, and submission to the law: [for ex.,] it is said in the Kur [iii. 17], إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الْإِسْلَامُ [Verily the only true religion in the sight of God is El-Islám]. (TA.) الدِّينُ is a name for That whereby one serves God. (S, * K.) [It is applied to Religion, in the widest sense of this term, practical and doctrinal: thus comprehending الإِيمَانُ, which means “ religious belief. ”] And it [particularly] signifies [The religion of] El-Islám. (M, K.) And The religious law of God; consisting of such ordinances as those of fasting and prayer and pilgrimage and the giving of the poor-rate, and the other acts of piety, or of obedience to God, or of duty to Him and to men; syn. الشَّرِيعَةُ. (TA.) And The belief in the unity of God. (K.) and Piety, or pious fear, and abstinence from unlawful things; syn. الوَرَعُ. (S, K.) b3: Also A particular law; a statute; or an ordinance; syn. حُكْمٌ (K, and Jel in xii. 76) and قَضَآءٌ [which signifies the same as حُكْمٌ]. (Katádeh, T, K.)

دِينِ الْمَلِكِ, meaning He (Joseph) was not to take his brother as a slave for the theft according to the law of the king of Egypt; i. e., فِى حُكْمِ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ, (Jel,) or فىقَضَائِهِ; (Katádeh, T;) for his punishment according to him was beating, and a fine of twice the value of the thing stolen; not enslavement: (Jel:) or, accord. to ElUmawee, the meaning is, in the dominion of the King. (T.) b4: [A system of usages, or rites and ceremonies &c., inherited from a series of ancestors.] It is said in a trad., of the Prophet, كَانَ عَلَى دِينِ قَوْمِهِ, meaning He used to conform with the old usages obtaining among his people, inherited from Abraham and Ishmael, in respect of their pilgrimage and their marriagecustoms (IAth, K, TA) and their inheritances (IAth, TA) and their modes of buying and selling and their ways of acting, (IAth, K, TA,) and other ordinances of the faith [&c.]; (IAth, TA;) but as to the belief in the unity of God, they had altered it; and the Prophet held no other belief than it: (IAth, K, TA:) or, as some say, the meaning here is, their dispositions, in respect of generosity and courage; from دِينٌ in the sense next following. (TA.) b5: Custom, or habit; (Az, T, S, M, K;) as also ↓ دِينَةٌ: (M, * TA:) and business: (S, TA:) pl., as above, أَدْيَانٌ. (M, TA.) This, also, has been said to be the primary signification. (TA.)

(K.) b7: I. q. تَدْبِيرٌ [app. as meaning Management, conduct, or regulation, of affairs]. (K.) b8: State, condition, or case. (S, M, K.) ISh says, I asked an Arab of the desert respecting a thing, and he said to me, لَوْ لَقِيتَنِى عَلَى دِنٍ غَيْرِ هٰذِهِ لَأَخْبَرْتُكَ [Hadst thou found me in a state other than this, I had informed thee]. (S, M.) b9: A property, such as is an unknown cause of a known effect; syn. خَاصِّيَّةٌ. (KL. [The significations of “ Via ” and “ Signum ” and “ Opera,” mentioned by Golius as from the KL, I do not find in my copy of that work.]) A2: Disobedience. (S, K.) [Thus it bears a signification the contr. of that first mentioned in this paragraph.]

A3: Repayment, requital, compensation, or recompense: (S, M, K:) or, as some say, such as is proportioned to the deed of him who is its object. (TA.) Hence, مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ, i. e.

(T, TA.) b2: Retaliation, by slaying for slaying, or wounding for wounding, or mutilating for mutilating. (TA.) b3: A reckoning. (T, S, M, K.)

(T, TA.) A7: See also دَائِنٌ.

[as a quasi-pl. n.], as in the saying of a poet, وَكَانَالنَّاسُ إِلَّا نَحْنُ دِينَا [And the people, except us, were debtors]. (S.) مُدَانٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

K;) the last [also] mentioned by A'Obeyd; (S;) inf. n. نَضَارَةٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) of the first; (S, Msb;) and نُضُورٌ (K) and نَضْرَةٌ, (S, A, K,) of the second, (S,) or this is a simple subst., (Msb,) and نَضْرٌ, (TA,) [also of the second;] and نَضَرٌ, (K;) [of the third;] and ↓ أَنْضَرَ; (IAar, L, K, TA;) It (a tree, A, K, and a plant, A, and foliage, TA, and a colour, K, and a face, IAar, S, Msb, K, and anything, TA,) was, or became, beautiful (S, Msb, K,) and bright: (S * [see نَضْرَةٌ below] or, when said of a face, tropically used, (A,) signifying as above: (TA:) or (tropical:) it was, or became, beautiful and fresh: or beautiful and fine-skinned, so that the blood appeared [through the skin]: syn. حَسُنَ وَغَضَّ: (A:) or pleasant: (Fr:) and ↓ انضر, said of a tree, its foliage became green. (TA.) b2: [When said of a man, sometimes signifying He was, or became, in a state of enjoyment, or in a plentiful and pleasant and easy state of life; agreeably with a usage of نَضَرَ and ↓ نَضَّرَ and ↓ أَنْضَرَ to be mentioned below. And in like manner, when said of life, it signifies It was, or became plentiful and pleasant and easy.]

A2: نَضَرَهُ اللّٰهُ, (IAar, S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb,) inf. n. نَضْرٌ; (TA;) and ↓ نضّرهُ, (S, A, K,) or this has an intensive signification; (Msb;) and ↓ انضرهُ; (IAar, S, A, K;) when the pronoun relates to the face, (IAar, S, A,) in which case it is tropical, (A,) [or to a tree, or colour, as is implied in the K,] God made it beautiful (S, A, K,) and bright. (S, * TA.) b2: When the pronoun relates to a man, the meaning (of the first of these three forms, as mentioned by En-Nadr and Sh and in the Mgh and TA, and of the ↓ second, as mentioned by As, and En-Nadr and Sh, &c., and of the ↓ third, as mentioned in the TA,) is God made him to have enjoyment, or plentiful and pleasant and easy life; syn. نَعَّمَهُ; (S, Mgh, Msb, TA;) or جَعَلهُ نَاضِرًا [which signifies the same]: (A'Obeyd:) or نَضَرَهُ اللّٰه, (El-Azdee, Mgh,) and اللّٰه ↓ نضّرهُ, (El-Hasan El-Muäddib, TA:) signifies (assumed tropical:) God made his rank, or station, good (El-Azdee, El-Hasan El-Muäddib, Mgh, TA,) among mankind: (El-Hasan El-Muäddib, TA:) not relating to beauty of the face; (ElAzdee, El-Hasan El-Muäddib, Mgh, TA:) but is similar to the saying, أُطْلُبُوا الحَوَائِجَ إِلَى

حِسَانِ الوُجُوهِ [which see explained in art. وجه]. (El-Hasan El-Muäddib, TA.) As cites this verse: نَضَّرَ اللّٰهُ أَعْظُمًا دَفَنُوهَا بِسِجِسْتَانَ طَلْحَةَ الطَّلَحَاتِ

[May God grant enjoyment to bones which they have buried in Sijistán: (I mean) Talhat-et- Talahát]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., نَضَرَ اللّٰهُ عَبْدًا سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِى فَوَعَاهَا ثُمَّ أَدّاهَا

إِلى مَنْ يَسْمَعَهَا, (Sh, S, * A, * Mgh, * TA,) or ↓ نَضَّرَ, (Sh, S, in which latter we read امْرَأَ in the place of عبدا, and A, in which we find مَنْ in the place of عبدا, and Mgh; the reading ↓ نضّر alone being given in the copies which I have of the S and A;) May God cause to have enjoyment, or a plentiful and pleasant and easy life, [the servant, or man, who hears what I say, and keeps it in mind, then conveys it to him who hears it:] (S, Mgh, in explanation of the latter reading, and TA, in explanation of both readings:) or (assumed tropical:) may God make to have a good rank or station &c. (Mgh, in explanation of the former reading.) 2 نضّرهُ اللّٰه: see نَضَرَهُ, throughout.4 انضر: see نَضُرَ, in two places.

A2: انضرهُ اللّٰهُ: see نَضَرَهُ, throughout.

نَضْرٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ نُضَارٌ (S, A, K, [in the CK نَضَار] and TA) and ↓ نَضِيرٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ أَنْضَرُ (K [without tenween, though this is not shown in the K, as it is originally an epithet, though it may be obsolete as an epithet,]) Gold: (S, A, Msb, K;) as also ↓ نِضَارٌ: (Es-Sukkaree:) or silver; (K;) as also ↓ نِصَارٌ: (Es-Sukkaree:) or generally the former: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] (of the first, S.) أَنْضُرٌ, (S, K,) and [of mult.]

نِضَارٌ: (K:) or (so accord. to the S and A, but in the K, and) ↓ نُضَارٌ signifies what is pure, (S, A, K,) of gold &c., (A,) or of native or unwrought gold or silver, (Lth, K,) and of wood, (Lth,) or of anything: (S:) and is used as an epithet, applied to gold (TA:) and ↓ نَضْرَةٌ [n. un. of نَضْرٌ] signifies a molten piece of gold. (TA.) نَضِرٌ: see نَاضِرٌ.

نَضْرَةٌ Beauty (S, Msb, K,) and brightness: (S, TA:) so in the Kur, lxxvi. 11. (Jel.) [The above explanation in the Msb and K, “beauty,” is evidently imperfect. Accord. to the Msb, the word is a simple subst., not an inf. n.] (assumed tropical:) Pleasantness of countenance. b2: نَضْرَةُ لنَّعِيمِ (assumed tropical:) The beauty and brightness of aspect characteristic of enjoyment, or of a plentiful and pleasant and easy state of existence: so in the Kur, lxxx ii: 24: (Bd, Jel:) or the brightness, or glistening, and moisture (نَدَا) [upon the skin] characteristic thereof. (Fr.) b3: Enjoyment; or a plentiful and pleasant and easy life; syn. نَعْمَةٌ [in the CK نِعْمَة]. (A, K.) b4: Richness; or competence or sufficiency. (A, K.) b5: Life. (A, K.) A2: See also نَضْرٌ.

نُضَارٌ: see نَضْرٌ; each in two places. See also غَرَبٌ.

نِضَارٌ: see نَضْرٌ; each in two places. See also غَرَبٌ.

نَضِيرٌ: see نَاضِرٌ, in two places: A2: and see نَضْرٌ.

نَاضِرٌ (A, L, K) and ↓ نَضِيرٌ (A, L, Msb, K) and ↓ نَضِرٌ, (A, L,) [being epithets from نَضَرَ and نَضُرَ and نَضِرَ, respectively,] and ↓ أَنْضَرُ, accord. to the K, but in the place of this we find in the corresponding passage in the L the verb أَنْضَرَ, with the addition “ is like نَضَرَ,” (TA,) Beautiful (Msb, K) and bright. (TA.) So in the Kur, lxxv. 22, وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ (assumed tropical:) Faces on that day shall be beautiful and bright: (Bd, Jel:) or shining by reason of enjoyment, or of a beautiful and pleasant and easy state of existence. (Fr.) [These epithets have also other, similar, significations, shown by explanations of نَضُرَ and its variations.] نَاضِرٌ is coupled with غَضٌّ, as an epithet applied to a boy, (A,) and so ↓ نَضِيرٌ; (TA,) and نَاضرَةٌ with غَضَّةٌ, applied to a girl, (A,) and so نَضِيرَةٌ; (TA;) and thus used are tropical. (A.) b2: نَاضِرٌ also signifies Intense in greenness: (K:) you say أَخْضَرُ نَاضِرٌ [intense, or bright, green], (S, K,) like as you say أَصْفَرُ فَاقِعٌ and أَبْيَضُ نَاصِعٌ: (S:) and in like manner it is used as an intensive epithet applied to any colour: you say أَحْمَرُ نَاضِرٌ [intense, or bright, red], and أَصْفَرُ نَاضِرٌ [intense, or bright, yellow]: (K:) so says IAar: (TA:) or أَخْضَرُ نَاصِرٌ signifies smooth green, accord. to A'Obeyd, and Az adds, glistening in its clearness. (TA.) أَنْضَرُ: see نَضْرٌ: A2: and see نَاضِرٌ.

بل

1 بَلَّهُ (S, M, &c.,) aor. ـُ (S, M,) inf. n. بَلٌّ (M, Msb, K) and بِلَّةٌ, (M, K,) He moistened it (S, M, K) with water (M, Msb, K) &c.; (M;) and in like manner, ↓ بلّلهُ, (S, M, K,) but signifying he moistened it much. (S, TA.) b2: [Hence,] بَلَّتِ الإِبِلُ أَغْمَارَهَا [The camels damped their thirst;] i. e., drank a little. (TA in art. غمر.) b3: [Hence also,] بَلَّ رَحِمَهُ, (T, S, M, K,) aor. ـُ (T, M,) inf. n. بَلٌّ (with fet-h, TA [in the CK it has kesr]) and بِلَالٌ, (M, K,) (tropical:) He made close [or he refreshed] his ties of relationship by behaving with goodness and affection and gentleness to his kindred; syn. وَصَلَهَا, (T, S, M, K,) and نَدَّاهَا: (T:) for, as some things are conjoined and commixed by moisture, and become disunited by dryness, بَلٌّ is metaphorically used to denote conjunction, as above, and يُبْسٌ to denote the contrary. (TA.) A poet says, وَالرِّحْمَ فابْلُلْهَا بِخَيْرِ البُلَّانْ فَإِنَهَااشْتُقَّتْ مِنِ اسْمِ الرَّحْمٰنْ [(tropical:) And the ties of relationship, make thou them close &c. by the best mode, or modes, of doing so; for the name thereof is derived from the name of the Compassionate]: here ↓البُلَّان may be a noun in the sing. number, like غُفْرَانٌ, or it may be pl. of بَلَلٌ, which may be either a subst. or an. inf. n., for some inf. ns. have pls., as شُغْلٌ and عَقْلٌ and مَرَضٌ. (M.) And it is said in a trad., بُلُّوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ وَلَوْ بِالسَّلَامِ (tropical:) Make ye close [or refresh ye] your ties of relationship &c., though but, or if only, by salutation; syn. صِلُوهَا, (M,) or نَدُّوهَا بِالصِّلَةِ. (S.) And hence the saying in another trad., إِذَ اسْتَشَنَّ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ اللّٰهِ فَابْلُلْهُ بِالإِحْسَانِ إِلَى عِبَادَهِ (tropical:) [When the tie between thee and God wears out, repair thou it, or refresh thou it, by beneficence to his servants]. (TA.) [See also بِلَالٌ.] b4: بَلَّكَ اللّٰهُ بِابْنٍ, (S, M, K,) and ابْنًا, (M, K,) (assumed tropical:) May God give thee a son. (S, M, K, TA.) Hence, perhaps, the phrase, بُلَّتْ يَدَاكَ بِهِ as meaning (assumed tropical:) Thou was given it. (Har p. 479.) You say also, بَلَلْتُهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) I gave to him. (T.) And ↓ لَا تَبْلُكَ عِنْدِى بَالَّةٌ, and ↓ بَلَالٌ, (T, S, M, K, [but in the K عِنْدَنَا, and “ or ” for “ and,” and in the CK لا تَبَلُّكَ,]) (tropical:) No bounty, (S,) no good, or no benefit, shall betide thee from me, (T, S, K, TA,) nor will I profit thee, nor believe thee. (T.) b5: بَلُّوا They sowed land. (ISh, T, K.) A2: [بَلَّ as an intrans. verb perhaps primarily signifies It was, or became, moist; and has for its sec. Pers\. بَلِلْتَ or بَلَلْتَ, and for its aor. ـَ or بَلِّ, and for its inf. n. بَلَلٌ, and probably بِلَّةٌ &c. mentioned with that noun below. b2: And hence,] بَلَّتِ الرِّيحُ, aor. ـِ inf. n. بُلُولٌ, The wind was cold and moist. (M, K.) [See بَلِيلٌ.] b3: [And hence, probably, as though originally said of one who had had a fever,] بَلَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. بَلٌّ (S, M, K) and بَلَلٌ and بُلُولٌ; (M, K) and ↓ ابلّ, and ↓ استبلّ; (S, M, K;) He recovered from his disease: (S, M:) and ↓ ابتلّ and ↓ تبلّل he became in a good condition after leanness, or meagerness: (M,Z:) or all have this latter signification: and the second (ابلّ) has the former also. (K.) b4: And بَلَّ, (M, K,) aor. ـِ (M,) inf. n. بُلُولٌ; and ↓ ابلّ; He (a man, TA) escaped, or became safe or secure, (M, K,) from difficulty, distress, or straitness. (TA.) b5: بَلَّ فِى الأَرْض, (Msb, K, * TA,) aor. ـِ inf. n. بَلٌّ; (Msb;) and ↓ ابلّ; (M, K;) He (a man, M) went away in, or into, the land, or country. (M, Msb, K.) And بَلَّتْ نَاقَتُهُ His she-camel went away. (TA.) And بَلَّتْ مَطِيَّتُهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا, (Fr, T, TA,) and على ↓ ابلّت وجها, (K,) His camel, or riding-camel, ran away, or went away, at random, to pasture, straying; syn. هَمَتْ ضَالَّةً. (Fr, T, K, TA. [In the CK, همت, which, as is said in the TA, is without teshdeed, is written هَمَّتْ.]) A3: بَلِلْتُ مِنْهُ, (As, T, S, &c.,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (M,) I got him; got possession of him; (As, T, S, M, K;) got him in my hand. (S.) One says, لَئِنْ بَلَّتْ بِكَ يَدِى لَا تُفَارِقُنِى أَوْ تُؤَدِّىَ حَقِّى [Assuredly if my hand get hold of thee, thou shalt not quit me unless thou give up, or pay, my right, or due]. (S.) and hence the prov., مَا بَلَلْتُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ بِأَفْوَقَ نَاصِلٍ [I did not get, in such a one, a man like an arrow with a broken notch and without a head]; meaning I got a perfect man; one sufficient. (Sh, T.) b2: Also, (T,) or بَلِلْتُهُ, (M, K,) I kept, or clave, to him, (T, M, K,) namely, a man, (T, K,) and constantly associated with him. (T.) And بَلَّ بِالشَّيْءِ, inf. n. بَلٌّ, He became devoted, or attached, to the thing, and kept to it constantly. (TA.) b3: And بَلِلْتُ مِنْهُ, (M, K,) aor. ـَ (TA,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ and بَلَالَةٌ and بُلُولٌ, I was tried by him (مُنِيتُ بِهِ [app. meaning بِحُبِّهِ by love of him]), and loved him (عَلِقْتُهُ [in the CK عَلَقْتُهُ]); as also بَلَلْتُ به, (AA, M, K,) aor. ـِ inf. n. بُلُولٌ (AA, TA.) And بَلِلْتُ بِهِ I was tried by him, as though by fire, (صَلِيتُ به, [in the CK صَلَيْتُ,]) and suffered distress, or misery, or fatigue (شَقِيتُ, for which شُفِيتُ is erroneously put in the copies of the K: TA). (M, K. *) b4: مَا بَلَلْتُ بِهِ, (K,) aor. ـَ inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (TA,) I did not light on, or meet with, or find, nor know, him, or it; expl. by مَا أَصَبْتُهُ وَ لَا عَلِمْتُهُ. (K.) A4: بَلَّ, (Th, M, K,) inf. n. بَلَلٌ, (Th, S, M, K,) He (a man) was, or became, such as is termed أَبَلّ [which epithet see below]. (Th, S, M, K.) 2 بَلَّّ see 1, first sentence.4 ابلّ It (wood, or a branch or twig,) had the sap, (المَآء, K,) or the produce of the rain, (O,) flowing in it. (O, K.) b2: See also بَلَّ, in four places.

A2: He (a man) resisted, or withstood, and overcame. (As, T, S. [See also أَبَلَ.]) And ابلّ عَلَيْهِ He overcame him. (M, K.) [See an ex. in a verse of Sá'ideh, cited voce خَسْفٌ.] b2: He wearied by badness, or wickedness: (M, K:) or he wearied another in aiding him to accomplish his desire. (TA. [See مُبِلٌّ.]) A3: أَبْلَلْتُهُ I made him to go away. (Msb.) 5 تَبَلَّّ see 8: b2: and see also بَلَّ.8 ابتلّ It became moist or moistened (S, M, Msb, * K) with water (M, Msb, K) &c.; (M;) and in like manner, [but signifying it became much moistened, being quasi-pass. of بلّلهُ,] ↓ تبلّل. (M, K.) b2: See also بَلَّ.10 إِسْتَبْلَ3َ see بَلَّ.

R. Q. 1 بَلْبَلَ, inf. n. بَلْبَلَةٌ and بِلْبَالٌ, (M, K,) the latter with kesr, (TA,) [but written in the CK with fet-h,] He put people in motion; and roused, or excited, them. (M, K.) b2: Also, (T,) inf. n. بَلْبَلَةٌ, (K,) He scattered, dispersed, or put asunder, his goods, commodities, or householdutensils and furniture. (IAar, T, K. * [In the CK, والمَتاعُ is erroneously put for وَالمَتَاعِ.]) b3: And He divided, or disunited, opinions. (Fr, T, K; but only the inf. n. of the verb in this sense is mentioned.) b4: And He (God) [mixed or confounded or] made discordant the tongues, or languages, of a people.

(Har p. 94.) b2: تَبَلْبَلَتِ الأَلْسُنُ The tongues, or languages, became mixed, or confounded. (S, K.) A2: تَبَلْبَلَتِ الإِبِلُ الكَلَأَ The camels went on seeking the herbage, or pasture, and left not of it aught. (S, K.) بَلْ is a particle of digression: (Mughnee, K:) or, accord. to Mbr, it denotes emendation, wherever it occurs, in the case of a negation or an affirmation: (T, TA:) or it is a word of emendation, and denoting digression from that which precedes; as also بَنْ, in which the ن is a substitute for the ل, because بل is of frequent occurrence, and بن is rare; or, as IJ says, the latter may be an independent dial. var. (M.) When it is followed by a proposition, the meaning of the digression is either the cancelling of what precedes, as in وَقَالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَلَدًا سُبْحَانَهُ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُكْرَمُونَ [And they said, “The Compassionate hath gotten offspring: ” extolled be his freedom from that which is derogatory from his glory! nay, or nay rather, or nay but, they are honoured servants (Kur xxi. 26)], or transition from one object of discourse to another, as in قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى وَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى

بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا [He hath attained felicity who hath purified himself, and celebrated the name of his Lord, and prayed: but ye prefer the present life (Kur lxxxvii. 14-16)]: (Mughnee, K: *) and in all such cases it is an inceptive particle; not a conjunctive. (Mughnee.) When it is followed by a single word, it is a conjunction, (S, * Msb, * Mughnee, K,) and requires that word to be in the same case as the word before it: (S:) and if preceded by a command or an affirmation, (Mughnee, K,) as in اِضْرَبْ زَيْدًا بَلْ عَمْرًا [Beat thou Zeyd: no, 'Amr], (Msb, Mughnee, K,) and قَامَ زَيْدٌ بَلْ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd stood: no, 'Amr], (M, Mughnee, K,) or جَآءَنِى أَخُوكَ بَلْ أَبُوكَ [Thy brother came to me: no, thy father], (S,) it makes what precedes it to be as though nothing were said respecting it, (S, * Msb, * Mughnee, K,) making the command or affirmation to relate to what follows it: (S, * Msb, * Mughnee:) [and similar to these cases is the case in which it is preceded by an interrogation: see أَمْ as syn. with this particle:] but when it is preceded by a negation or a prohibition, it is used to confirm the meaning of what precedes it and to assign the contrary of that meaning to what follows it, (Mughnee, K,) as in مَا قَامَ زَيْدٌ عَمْرٌو [Zeyd stood not, but 'Amr stood], (Mughnee,) or مَا رَأَيْتُ زَيْدًا بَلْ عَمْرًا, [I saw not Zeyd, but I saw 'Amr], (S,) and لَا يَقُمْ زَيْدٌ بَلْ عَمْرٌو [Let not Zeyd stand, but let 'Amr stand]. (Mughnee.) Mbr and 'Abd-El-Wárith allow its being used to transfer the meaning of the negation and the prohibition to what follows it; so that, accord. to them, one may say, مَازَيْدٌ قَائِمًا بَلْ قَاعِدًا [as meaning Zeyd is not standing: no, is not sitting], and بَلْ قَاعِدٌ [but is sitting]; the meaning being different [in the two cases]. (Mughnee, K. *) The Koofees disallow its being used as a conjunction after anything but a negation [so in the Mughnee, but in the K a prohibition,] or the like thereof; so that one should not say, ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا بَلْ إِيَّاكَ [I beat Zeyd: no, thee]. (Mughnee, K.) Sometimes لَا is added before it, to corroborate the meaning of digression, after an affirmation, as in the saying, وَجْهُكَ البَدْرُ لَا بَلِ الشَّمْسُ لَوْ لَمْ يُقْضَ لِلشَّمْسِ كَسْفَةٌ وَ أُفُولُ [Thy face is the full moon: no, but it would be the sun, were it not that eclipse and setting are appointed to happen to the sun]: and to corroborate what precedes it, after a negation, as in وَ مَا هَجَرْتُكَ لَا بَلْ زَادَنِى شَغَفًا هَجْرٌ وَ بَعْدٌ تَرَاخَى لَا إِلَى أَجَلِ [And I did not abandon thee, or have not abandoned thee: no, but abandonment and distance, protracted, not to an appointed period, increased, or have increased, my heart-felt love]. (Mughnee, K. *) b2: Sometimes it is used to denote the passing from one subject to another without cancelling [what precedes it], and is syn. with وَ, as in the saying in the Kur [lxxxv. 20 and 21], وَاللّٰهُ مِنْ, وَ رَائِهِمْ مُحِيطٌ بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ [And God from behind them is encompassing: and it is a glorious Kur-án: or here it may mean إِنَّ, as in an ex. below]: and to this meaning it is made to accord in the saying, لَهُ عَلَىَّ دِينَارٌ بَلْ دِرْهَمٌ [I owe him a deenár and a dirhem]. (Msb.) b3: In the fol-lowing saying in the Kur [xxxviii. 1],وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِى

الذِّكْرِبَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِى عِزَّةٍ وَشِقَاقٍ, it is said to signify إِنَّ; [so that the meaning is, By the Kur-án possessed of eminence, verily they who have disbelieved are in a state of pride and opposition;] therefore the oath applies to it. (Akh, S.) b4: Sometimes the Arabs use it in breaking off a saying and commencing another; and thus a man commences with it a citation, or recitation, of verse; in which case, it does not form any part of the first verse, but is a sign of the breaking off, or ending, of what precedes. (Akh, S.) b5: Sometimes it is put in the place of رُبَّ, (S, Mughnee,) as in the saying of the rájiz, بَلْ مَهْمَهٍ قَطَعْتُ بَعْدَ مَهْمَهٍ

[Many a far-extending desert have I traversed, after a far-extending desert]. (S: [and a similar ex. is given in the Mughnee.]) b6: What is deficient in this word [supposing it to be originally of three letters] is unknown; and so in the cases of هَلْ and قَدْ: it may be a final و or ى or they may be originally بَلّ and هَلّ and قَدّ. (Akh, S.) بَلٌّ Moist, or containing moisture: or rather moistened; being, app., an inf. n. used in the sense of a pass. part. n. ; like خَلْقٌ in the sense of مَخْلُوقٌ. Hence,] رِيحٌ بَلَّةٌ and ↓بَلِيلٌ and ↓بَلِيلَةٌ A wind in which is moisture: (S:) or the last, a wind mixed with feeble rain: (T:) and the second, a wind cold with moisture; (M, K;) or the same, a wind cold with rain; (A, TA;) the north wind, as though it sprinkled water by reason of its coldness: (TA:) and ↓ بَلَلٌ also signifies a cold north wind: (Ibn-'Abbád, TA:) بَلِيلٌ is used alike as sing. and pl. : (K:) it has no pl. (M.) A2: بَلٌّ بِشَىْءٍ A man (M) devoted, or attached, to a thing, and keeping to it constantly. (M, K. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, اللَّهْجُ is erroneously put for اللَّهِجُ.]) b2: And بَلٌّ, alone, Much given to the deferring of payment to his creditors, by repeated promises; (T;) withholding, by swearing, what he possesses of things that are the rightful property of others. (IAar, T, K.) See also أَبَلٌّ, in two places.

بِلٌّ Allowable, or lawful; i. e., to be taken, or let alone, or done, or made use of, or possessed: (T, S, M, K:) so in the dial. of Himyer: (T, S. M:) or a remedy; (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K;) from the phrase بَلَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ [q. v.]: (A' Obeyd, T, S, M:) or it is an imitative sequent to حِلٌّ, (M, K,) as some say: (M:) so As thought until he heard that it was said to be of the dial. of Himyer in the first of the senses explained above: (S, M:) A'Obeyd and ISk say that it may not be so because it is conjoined with حِلٌّ by وَ: (T:) and A'Obeyd says, We have seldom found an imitative sequent conjoined by و. (TA.) Hence the phrase, هُوَ لَكَ حِلٌّ وَبِلٌّ It is to thee lawful and allowable: or lawful and a remedy.
