صلو

1 صَلَوْتُهُ, (K,) or صَلَوْتُ الظَّهْرَ, (M,) I struck, or beat, that part, [of him, or] of the back, which is called صَلًا: (M:) or I hit that part (M, K) with a thing, or with an arrow or some other thing: on the authority of Lh, who says that it is of the dial. of Hudheyl: and one says also صَلَيْتُهُ; which is extr. [with respect to derivation], unless it be an instance of interchangeableness [of و and ى]. (M.) A2: صَلِيَتْ and صَلَتْ, said of a mare, or she-camel: see 4.2 صلّى, (S, M, K,) quasi-inf. n. صَلَاةٌ or صَلٰوة, for which one should not say تَصْلِيَةٌ, (S, K,) or the latter is allowable as agreeable with rule and as occurring in old poetry, (MF, TA,) He prayed, supplicated, or petitioned: (S, M, K:) and [particularly] he performed the divinely-appointed act [of prayer commonly] termed صَلَاة or صَلٰوة. (S.) Hence, in the Kur [ix. 104], (TA,) وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ And pray thou for them. (Msb, TA.) صَلَّى عَلَى

فُلَانٍ means He prayed for such a one, and praised him. (TA.) And hence the verse of ElAashà cited in art. رسم, conj. 8. (S, Mgh, * TA.) It is said in a trad., مَنْ دُعِىَ إِلَى وَلِيمَةٍ فَلْيُجِبْ وَإِلَّا فَلْيُصَلِّ [i. e. Whoso is invited to a banquet, or a marriage-feast, let him comply, or, if not, let him pray for the inviter]. (M.) And the saying, in a verse of El-Aashà, عَلَيْكِ مِثْلَ الَّذِى صَلَّيْتِ means Keep thou to the like of thy prayer; i. e. he enjoined her to repeat the prayer for him: or, as some relate it, عَلَيْكِ مِثْلُ الَّذِى صَلَّيْتِ, meaning upon thee be the like of that for which thou hast prayed: (M:) these words he addressed to his daughter, on the occasion of her saying, “O my Lord, ward off from my father diseases and pain. ” (Mgh.) The saying عَبِيدُ فُلَانٍ يُصَلُّونَ [The slaves of such a one perform the divinely-appointed act of prayer] means that they have attained to the age of virility. (Mgh.) b2: صلّى عَلَيْهِ, said of an angel, means He prayed for, or begged, forgiveness, or pardon, for him: and thus the verb sometimes means when said of other than an angel; as in the trad. of Sowdeh, in which it is said, إِذَا مِتْنَا صَلَّى لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ [When we die, 'Othmán Ibn-Madh'oon will pray for forgiveness for us]; he having then died. (TA.) b3: [And, said of a man, He blessed him, meaning he invoked God's blessing upon him; namely, the Prophet; or he said, اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ (expl. by what here follows) accord. to the rendering of صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ, i. e. عَلَى النَّبِىِّ, by Bd and others in the Kur xxxiii. 56.] One says, صَلَّيْتُ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ [I blessed the Prophet; &c.]. (S.) b4: And, said of God, He blessed him, meaning He conferred blessing upon him: and He had mercy on him: and He magnified him, or conferred honour upon him: hence the saying, اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِى أَوْفَى, meaning O God, bless the family of Aboo-Owfà: or have mercy on &c.: but in the saying [in the Kur xxxiii. 56], إِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ, the verb does not import two meanings; for it has there only one meaning, which is “ magnification ”

[i. e. these words mean Verily God and his angels magnify the Prophet; or rather I would render them, bless the Prophet, as this rendering implies magnification and also a meaning of the quasi-inf. n. given in the M and K, which is “ eulogy,” or “ commendation,” bestowed by God upon his apostle, while it imports God's

“ conferring of blessing ” and the angels' “ invoking thereof ” ]: (Msb, TA:) [it is said that]

اللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ means O God, magnify Mohammad in the present world by exalting his renown and manifesting his invitation [to ElIslám] and rendering permanent his law, and in the world to come by accepting his intercession for his people and multiplying his reward: and it is disputed whether or not this form of prayer may be used for any but the Prophet [Mohammad]: El-Khattábee says that it may not, though he himself used it for others. (TA.) [صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ is a phrase commonly used by the Muslims after the mention of their prophet: see art. سلم.

See also صَلَاةٌ below.]

A2: صلّى said of a horse, (S, K,) inf. n. تَصْلِيَةٌ, (TA,) He followed next after the foremost [in a race, at the goal]. (S, K.) Hence the saying [in a trad. of 'Alee], سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ [expl. in art. سبق]. (Mgh.) b2: And صلّى الحِمَارُ أُتُنَهُ, (Sgh, K,) inf. n. تَصْلِيَةٌ, (Sgh, TA,) The [wild] ass drove together his she-asses, and made them to take the way [that he would follow]. (Sgh, K, TA.) 4 أَصْلَتْ, (T, S, K, TA,) and ↓ صَلِيَتْ, (Fr, K, TA,) and ↓ صَلَتْ, (Zj, TA,) said of a mare, The parts on the right and left of her tail, (صَلَوَاهَا, S,) or the part on either side of her tail, (صَلَاهَا, K, [see صَلًا, below,]) became relaxed, she being near to bringing forth: (S, K:) or, said of a she-camel, her young one fell into the part of her called صَلًا, and she was near to bringing forth. (T, TA.) صَلًا The middle of the back of a human being and of any quadruped: (M, K:) and, (K,) or as some say, (M,) [app. in a beast,] the part that slopes down from the hips, or haunches: or the space intervening between the جَاعِرَة [app. meaning the hinder projection of the haunch or rump of a beast] and the tail: (M, K:) or the part on the right and left of the tail; (S, M, K;) the two together being called [the] صَلَوَانِ, (S, K,) which is similarly expl. by Zj in relation to a she-camel; app. properly meaning the two parts bordering upon the tail-bone: (TA:) or the place in which is set the tail of the horse; dual as above: (Msb:) or the bone upon which are the two buttocks: (Mgh: [there thus expl. in relation to a man:]) or the bone in which is the place of setting of the tail-bone; thus expl. by IDrd: or the صَلَوَانِ are the two bones projecting from the two sides of the rump: or, accord. to some of the lexicologists, two veins (عِرْقَانِ) in the place of the رِدْف [i. e. in the rump]: (Ham p. 46:) the pl. is صَلَوَاتٌ, (M, K,) an instance of a pl. formed by the addition of ا and ت from a masc. sing., (M,) and أَصْلَآءٌ. (M, K.) b2: [Hence,] one says, جِئْتُ فِى أَصْلَائِهِمْ, meaning I came at their rears. (TA.) صَلَاةٌ, or صَلٰوة, [accord. to El-Hareeree, to be written with ا when prefixed to a pronoun, and also in the dual number, (see De Sacy's Anthol. Gram. Arabe, p. 67 of the Arabic text,) but this rule I have not found to be generally observed, even in the best MSS., nor have I in the similar case of حَيٰوةٌ, (to which it is also applied,) in the best copies of the Kur-án,] is said to be [originally صَلَوَةٌ,] of the measure فَعَلَةٌ, (Mgh, MF, TA,) or, accord. to some, [صَلْوَةٌ,] of the measure فَعْلَةٌ: (MF, TA:) it is a quasi-inf. n. of صَلَّى [q. v.]: (S, K:) and [used as a simple subst.] it signifies Prayer, supplication, or petition: (S, M, Msb, K:) this is said to be its primary signification: and ↓ مُصَلًّى is said to have the same meaning. (Msb, TA.) b2: Then applied to signify A certain well-known mode, or manner, [of religious service,] because comprising prayer; (Msb;) [the divinelyappointed act of prayer;] one of the divinelyappointed صَلَوَات; (S;) a certain religious service in which are رُكُوع [or lowering of the head so that the palms of the hands reach the knees] and سُجُود [or prostration of oneself in a particular manner expl. voce سَجَدَ]: (M, * K:) and ↓ مُصَلًّى is said to have the same meaning. (TA.) [The performance of this act is fully described in my work on the Modern Egyptians.] It is said to be, in this sense, a proper term of the law, not indicated by the language of the Arabs [before El-Islám] except as importing prayer, which is its primary signification: what Esh-Shiháb says respecting it necessarily implies its being a proper term of the law known to the Arabs [before ElIslám]: in the Mz it is said to be one of the words of El-Islám: but all of these sayings require consideration. (MF, TA, [Much more, which I omit as being unprofitable, is added on this point in the TA, partly from the Msb; as well as several different opinions respecting the derivation of the word as used in this sense, which are fanciful or absurd.]) The saying of the Prophet, لَا صَلٰوةَ لِجَارِ المَسْجِدِ إِلَّا فِى المَسْجِدِ means There is no صلوة [or divinely-appointed act of prayer] that is excellent or complete [to the neighbour of the mosque unless in the mosque]. (M.) And his saying, to Usámeh, الصَّلٰوةُ أَمَامَكَ means The time of the صلوة [or divinely-appointed prayer], or the place thereof, [is before thee,] alluding to that of sunset. (Mgh.) And he used the term الصَّلٰوةُ as meaning سُورَةُ الصَّلٰوةِ, i. e. The فَاتِحَة [or Opening Chapter of the Kur-án, because it is a form of prayer, or] because the recital thereof is excellent, or satisfactory. (Mgh.) In the Kur xxii. 41, (I' Ab, S, M, Ksh, Bd,) [the pl.] صَلَوَاتٌ meansPlaces of worship of the Jews: (I' Ab, S, M, Ksh, Bd, K:) said to be (Ksh, Bd) originally صَلُوتَا, a Hebrew word, (Ksh, Bd, K,) arabicized: (Ksh, Bd:) this is the common reading of the word, and the most valid: other readings are صُلُوَاتٌ and صُلَوَاتٌ and صِلَوَاتٌ; and beside these, some others which are perverted forms. (TA.) b3: Also Prayer for forgiveness or pardon. (M, Mgh, K.) b4: [And A blessing, as meaning an invocation of God's blessing upon any one. See 2.]

b5: And i. q. بَرَكَةٌ [as meaning A blessing, such as is bestowed by God]: (Msb:) and mercy (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) of God (S, M) on his apostle: (M:) and magnification; and this is [said to be] specially denoted by its verb when the Prophet is the object: (Msb:) and God's eulogy, or commendation, bestowed upon his apostle. (M, K.) A2: الصَّلَاةُ [from صَلًا] also means إِتْيَانُ المَرْأَةِ فِى

دُبُرِهَا. (TA in art. صوم.) مُصْلِيَةٌ part. n. of أَصْلَتْ [q. v.] said of a she-camel [or of a mare]. (T, TA.) مُصَلًّى A place of الصَّلَاة [as meaning the performance of the divinely-appointed act of prayer]; (Mgh, Msb, K;) or of any prayer or supplication: (Mgh:) [and particularly] a place of the performance of the divinely-appointed prayer on the occasion of the [festival termed] عِيد: (MA:) [and also such a place at a burial-ground: the place for this purpose is particularly termed مُصَلَّى الأَمْوَاتِ: see De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, sec. ed., i. 192.] b2: And A carpet upon which one performs the divinely-appointed act of prayer. (MA.) b3: See also صَلَاةٌ, former half, in two places.

مُصَلٍّ Any one praying [in any manner: and particularly performing the divinely-appointed act of prayer]. (TA.) A2: And المُصَلَِّى signifies, as applied to a horse, The one that follows next after the foremost [at the goal] (S, M, Mgh, Msb) in a race: (Mgh, Msb:) because his head is next to the part called صَلًا, (Lh, S, M, Msb,) or next to the صَلَوَانِ, (Mgh,) of the foremost. (Lh, S, M, Mgh, Msb.)

Applied to pasturage, the former word may mean Clear of dried-up leaves or similar rubbish: or it may be formed by transposition from صَائِفٌ, meaning “ of the [season called] صَيْف,” and so belonging to art. صيف. (M. [See also صَافٍ in another sense as formed by transposition from صَائِفٌ, voce صَافٌ, in art. صوف.]) In the phrase اللَّوْنِ ↓ صَفَاةُ applied by the poet Kutheiyir-'Azzeh to honey (جَنَاةُ النَّحْلِ), and expl. as meaning Clear in respect of colour, [ISd says,] I think that صفاة is originally صَفِيَة, as a possessive epithet. (M.) [صَافٍ is also applied to a sword, and the like, as meaning Bright, or free from rust.] And in the Kur xxii. 37, [instead of the common reading صَوَافَّ, pl. of صَافٌّ and صَافَّةٌ,] some read صَوَافِىَ, [pl. of صَافِيَةٌ, as well as of صَافٍ applied to irrational animals,] as meaning that the animals there mentioned are [to be regarded as] things purely [or exclusively] belonging to God. (TA.) b2: See also صَفْوَانُ.

A2: Also A certain fish, which [it is said] chews the cud; pl. صَوَافٍ. (TA.) صَافِيَةٌ [fem. of صَافٍ, q. v. b2: And also, as a subst.,] (tropical:) One of what are termed صَوَافِى الإِمَامِ, which means the towns, or villages, of those who have rebelled against him, which the Imám [or Khaleefeh] chooses for himself [as his peculiar property]: (A, TA:) or, as in the T, الصَّوَافِى signifies what the Sultán appropriates exclusively to those persons whom he specially favours: or, as some say, it means the possessions and lands which their owners have abandoned, or of which the owners have died leaving no heirs thereof. (TA.) مِصْفَاةٌ i. q. رَاوُوقٌ; (S, MA, K, TA;) i. e. A strainer; (MA; [thus accord. to modern usage;]) a clarifier; i. e. a thing from which clearing, or clarifying, is effected; called by the vulgar مصفيَّة [i. e. مِصْفَيَّة, and also مِصْفَايَة]: pl. مَصَافٍ. (TA.) عَسَلٌ مُصَفًّى [Clarified honey; or] honey cleared of the floating particles, or motes, or the like, that had fallen into it. (TA.) مُصْطَفًى: see صَفْوٌ, last sentence.

(TA.) b8: And one says, الجَوَارِى يُصَابِينَ فِى السِّتْرِ, meaning يطلعن [i. e.

صَابٍ: see صَبِىٌّ, first sentence. b2: Also i. q. صَاحِبُ صَبْوَةٍ [i. e. One who indulges in youthful folly, and amorous dalliance].

And اعزب جَمَلَهُ is like أَضَلَّهُ [He made his camel to go astray]. (A.) b3: [Hence,] اعزب اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ حِلْمَهُ (assumed tropical:) God made his forbearance to become remote from him. (O.) b4: And أَعْزَبْنَا الكَلَأَ, (O,) or أَعْزَبْنَا alone, (S,) We lighted upon remote herbage. (S, O.) A2: As غَيْرُ مُتَعَدٍّ and لَازِمٌ">intrans.: see 1, first sentence: and the same in the latter half. b2: [Hence,] اعزب القَوْمُ The people's camels went away to a distance in the pasturage, not to return in the evening. (S, * O, * K, * TA.) 5 تعزّب: see 1, second sentence. b2: Also He passed the night with his camels in the pasturage, not returning in the evening. (TA.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) He abstained from marriage: (K, TA:) and in like manner تعزّبت is said of a woman. (TA.) One says, تعزّب زَمَانًا ثُمَّ تَأَهَّلَ (S, O) (assumed tropical:) He was without a wife [a long time, or he abstained from marriage a long time; then he took a wife]. (O.) [See also 1, near the end.]

عَزَبٌ [correctly thus, but in the sense here following written in the TA without any syll. signs, and in the O written عِزَّبٌ,] A man who goes away to a distance into the country, or in the land. (O, TA.) [And One who goes far away with his camels to pasture: pl. أَعْزَابٌ. (See also عَزِيبٌ and عَازِبٌ and مُعْزِبٌ and مِعْزَابَةٌ.)] هِرَاوَةُ الأَعْزَابِ means The staff of those who go far away with their camels to pasture; and a horse is likened thereto, (S, O, TA,) on account of its compactness and smoothness; so in a marginal note in the L: (TA:) [Sgh, however, says,] thus in some of the lexicons, but in my opinion, (O,) it was the name of a mare which was not to be outstripped, and which was thus called because her owner gave her gratuitously for the use of those of his people who had no wives, who made predatory attacks upon her, and when one of them acquired for himself property and a wife, he resigned her to another of his people: (O, K: *) whence the prov.

أَعَزُّ مِنْ هِرَاوَةِ الأَعْزَابِ [More highly esteemed than Hiráwet-el-Aazáb]. (O.) See an ex. in a verse cited voce عَدِيدٌ. b2: See also عَازِبٌ. b3: Also Whatever is alone, solitary, or apart from others. (TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) A man having no wife; (Ks, S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ عَازِبٌ, (Msb, * TA,) which is the original; (Msb;) and ↓ عَزِيبٌ, and ↓ مِعْزَابَةٌ [which see below]; (K;) but not ↓ أَعْزَابُ, (Mgh, O, Msb, K,) this being disallowed by AHát, (O, Msb,) and others; (TA;) or it is rare; (K;) but it occurs in a trad.; (Mgh, O;) and some allow it: (O, Msb:) the pl. of the first is أَعْزَابٌ, (O, K,) or عُزَّابٌ, (S, * Msb,) which is thus because the original form of the sing. is considered as being ↓ عَازِبٌ, this pl. being like كُفَّارٌ as pl. of كَافِرٌ, (Msb,) or عَزَبٌ has both of these pls., (O,) or عُزَّابٌ is pl. of ↓ عَازِبٌ, (TA,) and is applied to men and to (assumed tropical:) women as meaning having no spouses: (S, TA:) عَزَبَةٌ is applied to (assumed tropical:) a woman [as meaning having no husband], (Ks, S, O, Msb, K,) and (O, Msb, K) so عَزَبٌ; (Zj, Kz, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) and if أَعْزَبُ be applied to a man, ↓ عَزْبَآءُ, may by rule be applied to a woman; and the pl. of عَزَبَةٌ is عَزَبَاتٌ: (Msb:) or, accord. to Zj, عَزَبَةٌ is a mistake of Abu-l-'Abbás [i. e. Th], and عَزَبٌ is used as an epithet of a man and of a woman, like as is خَصْمٌ, and does not assume a dual form nor a pl. nor a fem. form, because it is originally an inf. n.; MF, however, denies that we have any authority for calling عَزَبٌ an inf. n.: he considers it to be a simple epithet, like حَسَنٌ &c.; and if used in the fem. sense without the termination ة otherwise than by poetic license, to be an غَيْرُ قِيَاسِىٍّ and غَيْرُ مَقِيسٍ or شَاذٌّ or نَادِرٌ">anomalous epithet, like عَانِسٌ, which is applied alike to a man and to a woman: the phrase رَجُلَانِ عَزَبَانِ is also mentioned: and the saying إِنَّهُ لَعَزَبٌ لَزَبٌ [in which the latter epithet is merely an imitative sequent corrobative of the former], and إِنَّهَا لَعَزَبَةٌ لَزَبَةٌ: and عَزَبٌ is said to be [also] a quasi-pl. n. [of عَازِبٌ], like as خَدَمٌ is of خَادِمٌ. (TA.) عُزْبَةٌ and ↓ عُزُوبَةٌ The state of having no wife or husband; celibacy. (S, K. [Each said in the S and K to be a simple subst.: but see 1, near the end.]) عَزِيبٌ A man who has gone away to a distance (تَعَزَّبَ, as in some copies of the K), or who goes away to a distance (يَعْزُبُ, as in other copies of the K), from his family and his cattle, or camels &c. (K, TA.) b2: And Cattle, or camels &c., at a distance from the tribe: heard by Az in this sense from the Arabs: (TA:) or a herd of camels, and the like of sheep or goats, that go away to a distance from their owners in the pasturage: (K, TA:) and إِبِلٌ عَزِيبٌ camels that do not return in the evening to the tribe: عَزِيبٌ thus used is pl. (or a quasi-pl. n., TA) of ↓ عَازِبٌ, like as غَزِىٌّ is of غَازٍ. (S, K, TA.) b3: See also عَازِبٌ b4: And see عَزَبٌ, near the middle.

عَزُوبَةٌ A land in which one has to go far for pasturage; (O, K;) in which the pasturage is little: (TA:) the ة is to render the signification intensive. (O.) عُزُوبَةٌ: see عُزْبَةٌ.

عَازِبٌ Distant, or remote: (Msb, TA:) applied in this sense to herbage: (S, K:) or, applied to herbage, such as has not been depastured at all, nor trodden: and, accord. to the A, only such as is in a desert in which is no seed-produce: (TA:) and it is likewise applied to meadows (رَوْضٌ) [app. as meaning distant, or remote]; as also ↓ عَزِيبٌ. (A, TA.) In the following saying, وَصَدْرٍ أَرَاحَ اللَّيْلُ عَازِبَ هَمِّهِ تَضَاعَفَ فِيهِ الحُزْنُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبِ (tropical:) [In many a bosom whose remote (or long-past) anxiety night has brought back, grief has multiplied from every quarter], it is used metaphorically. (A.) And [in like manner,] in a trad. of 'Átikeh, قَهُنَّ هَوَآءٌ وَالحُلُومُ عَوَازِبُ means (assumed tropical:) And they are devoid of reason, the intel-lects [being] far away: عَوَازِبُ here being pl. of عَازِبٌ. (L, TA.) And [in a similar manner,] عَوَازِبُ الأَطْهَارِ [in which عَوَازِبُ is pl. of عَازِبَةٌ] is applied as an epithet to women whose husbands are absent: (S and O and TA, from a verse of En-Ná- bighah Edh-Dhubyánee: [for the lit. meaning, see 1, latter half:]) b2: [for] عَازِبٌ signifies also Absent; and concealed. (Msb.) b3: It is also applied to sheep or goats, (شَآءٌ, O, TA, and غَنَمٌ, O,) and to camels, (إِبِلٌ, O,) meaning Remote in the pasturage, (O, TA,) that do not return in the evening, (O,) or that do not repair to the place of alighting and abode [of their owners] in the night: (TA:) and [in like manner] ↓ عَزَبٌ is applied to cattle, or camels &c., (مَالٌ, A, O, TA,) meaning that go away to a distance from their owners. (O.) See also عَزِيبٌ [which, thus applied, is a quasi-pl. n. of عَازِبٌ]. And عَازِبَةٌ is likewise applied to camels (O, K) as meaning That go far away to pasture: (O, K: *) so in the prov. إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتُ الغَنَمَ حِذَارَ العَازِبَةِ [I only bought the sheep, or goats, in fear of loosing those that go far away to pasture]: said by a man who had camels, and sold them, and bought sheep, or goats, lest they [the camels] should go far away to pasture; and his sheep, or goats, did so: (O, K:) it is applied to the case of him who acts with gentleness [or precaution] in the easiest of affairs, and has unexpected difficulty, or trouble, inseparable from him. (O.) b4: See also عَزَبٌ, in three places. b5: And see مُعَزِّبَةٌ.

عَوْزَبٌ An old woman: (O, K:) so called because of the long period that has elapsed since her marriage. (TA.) أَعْزَبُ; and the fem. عَزْبَآءُ: see عَزَبٌ.

مُعْزِبٌ One who goes away from his family with his camels. (Az, TA.) [See also عَزَبٌ and عَزِيبٌ

&c.] b2: And Seeking distant herbage, such as is termed عَازِبٌ. (TA.) b3: And One whose camels go away to a distance in the pasturage, not to return in the evening. (S, TA.) مِعْزَبَةٌ A female slave: (O, K:) or, accord. to Th, applied only to a woman that has not a husband: (TA:) pl. مَعَازِبُ, for which مَعَازِيبُ occurs in a verse of Aboo-Khirásh El-Hudhalee. (O.) b2: See also مُعَزِّبَةٌ.

مُعَزَّبٌ A herd of pasturing camels taken to pasture at a distance (عُزِّبَ بِهِ) from the place of abode.

(O.) مِعْزَابٌ: see what follows, in two places.

مِعْزَابَةٌ A man who goes away to a distance with his cattle, or camels &c., (S, A, O, K,) from others, in the pasturage; (S, O;) as also ↓ مِعْزَابٌ: (A, O, K:) accord. to Az, the former is the only epithet of the measure مِفْعَالَةٌ, except مِجْذَامَةٌ, which is sometimes used; [but in the TA, مِطْرَابَةٌ and مِطْوَاعَةٌ and مِقْدَامَةٌ also are mentioned;] the ة in معزابة, he says, is added to give intensiveness to the signification, and to imply praise; the meaning being, in his opinion, a man who frequently betakes himself, with his cattle, or camels &c., pasturing at a distance from others, to the places where rain has fallen, and to the uncropped herbage produced thereby; and he adds that the ة is affixed to a masc. epithet to imply praise or blame when intensiveness is meant. (TA.) The two epithets above are also expl. as applied to a man who pastures his camels at a distance from the abode of the tribe, not repairing to them to rest. (TA.) [See also عَزَبٌ &c.] b2: Also, (S, O, K, TA,) or ↓ مِعْزَابٌ, (A, TA,) (tropical:) A man who has been long without a wife, (S, A, O, K, TA,) so that he has no need of one. (TA.) b3: See also عَزَبٌ

[This is held by some to be the primary signification: see عَنَتْ below; by the explanations of which it seems to be indicated that the verb has several significations that are not expressly assigned to it in the lexicons.] عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ, in the Kur [ix. last verse but one], means, accord. to Az [and most of the expositors], Grievous unto him is your experiencing difficulty, or hardship, or distress: or, as some say, the meaning is ↓ مَا أَعْنَتَكُمْ, i. e., what hath brought you into difficulty, or hardship, or distress. (TA. [In the S and O, it seems to be indicated by the context that مَا عَنِتُّمْ meansyour having sinned.]) b2: عَنِتَتِ الدَّابَّةُ The beast limped, or halted, in consequence of hard, or rough, treatment, such as it could not bear. (TA.) It is said in a trad., أَنْعَلَ دَابَّتَهُ فَعَنِتَتْ He shod his beast and it became lame: thus as some relate it; as others relate it, فَعَتَبَتْ; but the former relation is preferred by KT. (TA.) b3: عَنِتَ said of a bone, (Az, A, K, TA,) and عَنِتَتْ said of an arm or a leg, (Az, TA,) [aor. ـَ inf. n. عَنَتٌ, (TA,) It broke (Az, A, K, TA) after its having been set and united: (A, K:) [this is said in the Ksh and by Bd, in iv. 30, to be the primary signification:] and the former, said of a bone, it became weak, and broke. (K, * TA.) b4: عَنِتَ, (S, O, Msb, TA,) aor. ـَ (Msb,) inf. n. عَنَتٌ, (S, * O, * Msb, K, * TA,) He committed a sin, a crime, or an act of disobedience deserving punishment: (S, O, K, * TA: *) or he committed sins, crimes, or acts of disobedience deserving punishment: (K, * TA:) or he did wrong [intentionally or unintentionally].

(TA.) b2: See also 5.4 اعنتهُ, (inf. n. إِعْنَاتٌ, Mgh,) He caused him to fall into difficulty, hardship, or distress; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA;) into that which was difficult, hard, or distressing, to him to bear. (Mgh, Msb.) See also 1, and 2. b2: He (the rider) treated him (i. e. a beast) with hardness, or roughness, such as the latter could not bear, and so caused him to limp, or halt. (TA.) b3: He (a physician) treated him (i. e. a sick man) roughly, or without gentleness, and so harmed, or injured, him. (A, O. *) b4: He, or it, broke it (i. e. a bone) after it had been set and united: (Az, S, A,. O, K, TA:) or he (a bone-setter) treated it (i. e. a broken bone) roughly, or ungently, so that the fracture became worse. (TA.) 5 تعنّتهُ: see 2. Accord. to AHeyth, (TA,) He brought upon him annoyance, molestation, harm, or hurt: (Msb, TA:) or he sought to occasion him difficulty, hardship, or distress. (Mgh.) And hence, (Mgh,) He asked him respecting a thing, desiring by doing so to involve him in confusion, or doubt; (A, Mgh, TA;) as when one says to a witness, “Where was this, and when was it, and what garment was upon him when thou tookest upon thyself to bear witness? ” and الشُّهُودَ ↓ يُعَنِّتُ and يَتَعَنَّتُ عَلَى الشُّهُودِ are also mentioned; but these require consideration. (Mgh.) R. Q.1 عَنْتَتَ, said of the horn of the عَتُود [or goat a year old], It rose, or rose high. (O, K.) b2: عنتت عَنْهُ He turned away from, avoided, or shunned, him, or it.

(A, IAth, K, TA.) b3: A bad, an evil, or a corrupt, state: or bad, evil, or corrupt, conduct or doing: syn. فَسَادٌ [which has both of these meanings; and may here have the former meaning as nearly agreeing with what precedes it, or the latter meaning as nearly agreeing with what follows it]. (A, IAth, K, TA.) b4: A sin, a crime, or an act of disobedience deserving punishment; (AHeyth, S, A, IAth, O, K, TA;) and so ↓ مَعْنَتَةٌ. (A.) b5: A wrong action [intentional or unintentional]; an error; mistake. (IAth, Msb, * TA.) b6: b7: Fornication, or adultery: (S, IAth, Mgh, O, Msb, K, TA:) but this is a conventional explanation of the lecturers of the colleges. (Mgh.) So in the Kur [iv. 30], where it is said, ذٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ الْعَنَتَ مِنْكُمْ [That is for him, among you, who fears the commission of fornication]: (S, O, Msb, TA: [and the like is said in the Mgh:]) this, says Az, was revealed in relation to him who might not have the means of taking to wife a free woman; therefore it was allowed to him to take to wife a slave: (Msb, TA:) or the meaning of العنت here is perdition: or perdition in [or by means of] fornication. (TA.) b8: Also Wrongful, unjust, injurious, or tyrannical, conduct: and annoyance, molestation, harm, or hurt. (AHeyth, TA.) And Distressing, grievous, or afflicting, harm, injury, hurt, or mischief.

(A.) عُنْتُوتٌ: see what next precedes. b2: With the article ال, A mountain, (O,) or tapering mountain, (K,) in the صَحْرَآء [or desert]: (O, K:) or, accord. to the L, a small mountain tapering into [or towards] the sky (جُبَيْلٌ مُسْتَدِقٌّ فِى السَّمَآءِ): and it is said to be دون الحرة [app. دُونَ الحَرَّةِ; but there seems to be here an omission or a mistranscription; for of the various meanings that may be assigned to this phrase, none seems to be apposite: I incline to think that العُنْتُوتُ thus expl. is the proper name of a particular mountain]. (TA.) A2: عُنْتُوتٌ signifies also The notch in a bow: accord. to Az, (TA,) the عُنْتُوت of the bow is the notch into which enters the غَانَة, i. e. the ring at the head of the string. (O, TA.) A3: and The first, or beginning, or commencement, of anything. (O, K.) A4: And Dry حَلِىّ, (O, and so in the CK, [in my MS. copy of the K حَلْى, and thus accord. to the TA, but this is evidently a mistake,]) which is a certain plant. (TA.) عَانِتٌ an epithet applied to a woman, i. q. عَانِسٌ [q. v.]: (O, K:) said to be formed [from the latter] by substitution, or a dial. var., or a word mispronounced.

[SM says that the word thus expl. in the K is a mistranscription for معوّد; by which he means مُعَوِّد, part. n. of عَوَّدَ said of a camel; but this I doubt; for مُعَوِّدٌ has not the meaning here assigned to معوّذ.] b3: See also عُوَّذٌ, in four places.

مُعَوِّذٌ: see عُوَّذٌ, in two places: b2: and see also مُعَوِّذٌ. b3: المُعَوِّذَتَانِ, with kesr to the و, (S, O, L, K,) erroneously said to be with fet-h, (TA,) an appellation of Two chapters of the Kur-án; (S, K;) the last two chapters; i. e. the Soorat el-Falak and that which follows it: (O, L, Msb:) so called because each of them begins with the words قُلْ أَعُوذُ; (L;) or because they preserved their publisher from every evil.

مَعْسُورِهِ is expl. as signifying Leave thou him to a thing in which he experiences ease, and to a thing in which he experiences difficulty: and مَعْقُولٌ is also expl. in like manner. (S, O.)

(O, TA.) b8: ↓ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى, in the Kur [xcii. 10], signifies, as some say, [We will smooth his way] to punishment, and a difficult case.
