ترك

1 تَرَكَهُ, (S, M, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. ـُ (S, M,) inf. n. تَرْكٌ (S, M, Msb, K, &c.) and ترْكَانٌ, with kesr, (Fr, K,) He left it, forsook it, relinquished it, abandoned it, deserted it, or quitted it; either intentionally, and by choice, or by constraint, and of necessity: (Er-Rághib, TA:) he left it, forsook it, &c., as above; namely, a thing that he desired, or wished for, and also a thing that he did not desire, or did not wish for: (Ibn-'Arafeh, TA:) he left it, quitted it, went away from it, or departed from it; namely, a place: and he left him, forsook him, relinquished him, abandoned him, deserted him, quitted him, or separated himself from him: (Msb:) he cast it, or threw it, away, as a thing of no account; rejected it; discarded it; cast it off; left it off: (MF, TA:) he left it, left it alone, let it alone; ceased, desisted, forbore, or abstained, from it; neglected it, omitted it, or left it undone; syn. خَلَّاهُ; (S, A, O;) or وَدَعَهُ; (M, K;) as also ↓ اتّركهُ. (K. [But respecting this latter verb, see what follows.]) وَاتْرُكِ البَحْرَ رَهْوًا, in the Kur xliv. 23, And leave thou the sea opened with a wide interval; or motionless, in the same state as before thy passing through it, and strike it not with thy rod, nor alter anything thereof; (Bd;) or motionless, parted asunder; (Jel;) so that the Egyptians may enter it; (Bd, Jel;) is an instance of the verb meaning leaving intentionally, and by choice: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ, in the next verse, How many gardens and springs did they leave! (Jel,) is an instance of the verb meaning leaving by constraint, and of necessity. (Er-Rághib, TA.) In a phrase such as تَرَكَ حَقَّهُ, meaning He made his right, or due, or claim, to be null, or he rejected it, and such as تَرَكَ رَكْعَةٌ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ, meaning He neglected, omitted, or left unperformed, a ركعة, of the prayer, [it is said (but I think it doubtful) that] the verb, having an ideal substantive for its objective complement, is used metaphorically. (Msb.) ↓ قَالَ فِيهِ فَمَا اتَّرَكَ means مَا تَرَكَ شَيْئًا [i. e. He strove, laboured, or exerted himself, (اِجْتَهَدَ,) in it, and neglected not, or omitted not, anything in his power]: the verb is of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ. (S.) مَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ وَلَمْ شَيْئًا ↓ يَتَّرِكْ is a mistake for ولم يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا, or ولم ↓ يَتَّرِكْ without شَيْئًا, or فَمَا اتَّرَكَ; for this verb is not trans., except, sometimes, in poetry; and the meaning is, وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ فِيمَاأُذِنَ لَهُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا [i. e. He who bequeaths the third of his property, and does not omit anything of what he is allowed (to leave, or anything of the third part, for this is all that he is allowed to bequeath)]: it is from the saying ↓ فَعَلَ فَمَا اتَّرَكَ [He did such a thing, and neglected not, or omitted not, anything]. (Mgh.) You say also, تَرَكَ المَيِّتُ مَالًا, i. e. The deceased left property. (Msb.) b2: وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى الآخِرِينَ, (K,) in the Kur [xxxvii. 76 &c.], (TA,) means and we have perpetuated (K, Jel, TA) to him a eulogy among the later generations (Jel, TA) of the prophets and peoples to the day of resurrection, [namely,] Salutation &c. (Jel.) b3: التَّرْكُ is also syn. with الجَعْلُ, (Lth, K, TA,) in some instances; (Lth, TA;) as though it had two contr. significations: (K:) [i. e.,] when تَرَكَ is doubly trans., it has the meaning of صَيَّرَ, (MF, TA,) or جَعَلَ. (TA.) So in the saying, تَرَكْتُ الحَبْلَ شَدِيدًا I made, or rendered, the rope strong; or made it, or caused it, to be, or become, strong. (TA.) So too in the Kur ii. 16, وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِى ظُلُمَاتٍ and maketh, or causeth, them to be in darknesses. (Ksh, Bd, MF.) And sometimes one says of any action that has come at last to a certain state, مَا تَرَكْتُهُ كَذَا [I did not make it, or cause it, to be thus]. (TA.) A2: تَرِكَ, aor. ـَ (IAar, K,) inf. n. تَرْكٌ, (TK,) He (a man, IAar) married, i. e. took to wife, a تَرِيكَة, (IAar, K,) meaning a woman that had remained a virgin, unmarried, until she had become of middle age, or long after she had attained to puberty, in the house, or tent, of her parents. (TA.) 3 تاركهُ [inf. n. مُتَارَكَةٌ] is syn. with خَالَاهُ (S in art. خلو) [which is explained in the K, in art. خلو, as syn. with تَرَكَهُ, He left, forsook, relinquished, abandoned, &c., him or it; and thus it may often be well rendered: but it properly signifies he left him, forsook him, &c., being left, &c., by him; whence it is said in the Mgh, in art. ودع, that مُوَادَعَةُ is syn. with مُصَالَحَةٌ because it is مُتَارَكَةٌ: Golius, as on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, explains تاركهُ as signifying he dismissed him, and did not molest him: he left him unmolested is one of its meanings, but is not the primary signification: accord. to the TK, متاركة signifies the leaving, &c., anything in the state in which it is: and the leaving, &c., one another]. One says also, تَارَكْتُهُ البَيْعَ, (S, Mgh, but in the latter تَارَكَهُ, and in the TA فِى البَيْعِ,) وَغَيْرَهُ, (Mgh,) inf. n. مُتَارَكَةٌ, (S,) [app. meaning I relinquished with him, i. e. concurrently with him, the sale, &c.: see 6, by which this rendering is confirmed: Golius, as on the authority of J, who has not explained it, says that it means I relinquished to him the merchandise, or commodity; and Freytag follows him.] b2: [Hence,] مُتَارَكَةٌ is metonymically used as meaning The making peace [or a truce], or reconciling oneself, with another or others. (Mgh.) b3: In the saying, لَا بَارَكَ اللّٰهُ فِيِهِ وَلَا تَارَكَ وَلَا دَارَكَ, it is an imitative sequent, (K,) all of these verbs having the same meaning [so that the saying may be rendered May God not bless him nor felicitate him nor make him happy]: (TA:) [or the meaning may be, nor preserve him, or prolong his life; for] IAar says that تَارَكَ means أَبْقَى. (TA.) 6 تَتَارَكُوا الأَمْرَ بَيْنَهُمْ, (K,) or الأَمْرَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ, (Mgh,) They relinquished [concurrently], one with another, the affair that was between them. (TK.) 8 اِتَّرَكَ: see 1, in five places.

تَرْكٌ: see تَرِيكَةٌ.

A2: Also A [drinking-cup or bowl such as is called] قَدَح which a man lifts, or carries, with his two hands. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) التُّرْكُ A certain nation; (S, Msb, K;) [namely, the Turks:] تُرْكِىٌّ is its n. un.: (Msb, TA:) [and signifies also Turkish:] pl. أَتْرَاكٌ. (Msb, K.) It is said in a trad., اُتْرُكُوا التَّرْكَ مَا تَرَكُو كُمْ [Leave ye alone the Turks as long as they leave you alone]. (TA.) [تُرْكِىُّ الوَجْهِ often occurs in post-classical works as meaning Having a Turkish face; i. e. round-faced, or broad-faced; opposed to عَرَبِىُّ الوَجْهِ.]

تَرْكَةٌ: see تَرِيكَةٌ, in two places. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A woman such as is termed رَبْعَةٌ [i. e. of middling stature]: (Ibn-'Abbád, K:) pl. تَرْكَاتٌ. (TA.) b3: It is said in a trad., جَآءَ الخَلِيلُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ يُطَالِعُ تَرْكَتَهُ (assumed tropical:) [El-Khaleel (i. e. Abraham) came to Mekkeh to get knowledge of his تركة], meaning Hagar, and her son Ishmael: (K:) the word originally means an ostrich's egg, and is here used metaphorically; for the ostrich lays but one egg in the year, and then leaves it and goes away: (TA:) Z says, in the Fáïk, that it is thus related, with the ر quiescent; (Nh, O, TA;) but it would be a proper way if it were with kesr to the ر [↓ تَرِكَتَهُ,] as meaning the thing that he had left, or forsaken, &c. (Nh, O, K.) تِرْكَةٌ: see what next follows.

تَرِكَةٌ A thing that is left, forsaken, relinquished, abandoned, deserted, or quitted; like طَلِبَةٌ meaning “ a thing desired, or sought; ” (TA;) see also تَرْكَةٌ: particularly, the inheritance, or property that is left, of a person deceased; (S, Msb, K; *) also pronounced ↓ تِرْكَةٌ: pl. تَرِكَاتٌ. (Msb.) تَرَاكِ an imperative verbal noun, meaning اُتْرُكْ [Leave thou, &c.]. (S, TA.) Hence the saying, تَرَاكِ تَرَاكِ صُحْبَةَ الأَتْرَاكِ [Leave thou, leave thou, the companionship of the Turks]. (TA.) Yoo says that تَرَاكَ is a dial. var. of the same; but this is only when it is used as a prefixed noun, as in تَرَاكَهَا for تَرَاكِهَا. (TA.) تَرِيكٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

تَرِيكَةٌ A woman that is left unmarried; (S, K;) that has remained a virgin, unmarried, until she has become of middle age, or long after she has attained to puberty, in the house, or tent, of her parents: (TA:) it is not applied to a male: (Lh, TA:) pl. تَرَائِكُ. (S.) b2: A meadow the depasturing of which has been neglected: (S, K:) or a pasture-land where people have pastured their beasts, either in a desert or upon a mountain, and of which the beasts have eaten until there remain [only] some relics of wood. (TA.) b3: Water left by a torrent: (IB, K:) used in this sense by El-Farezdak. (IB.) b4: An egg after the young bird has gone forth from it: (K:) or an ostrich's egg (S, K) which she forsakes (S, TA) in the desert after it has become empty: (TA:) or, as some say, an ostrich's eggs left solitary: (TA:) and ↓ تَرْكَةٌ signifies the same. (K.) [For the pl., see the next sentence.] b5: (assumed tropical:) An iron helmet; (K;) in the opinion of ISd, as being likened to the egg thus termed; (TA;) and so ↓ تَرْكَةٌ: (S, K:) the pl. [of the former] is تَرَائِكُ [mentioned in the S as pl. of the former applied to an ostrich's egg] and ↓ تَرِيكٌ and ↓ تَرْكٌ [the latter of which is termed in the S pl. of تَرْكَةٌ are coll. gen. ns. of which تَرِيكَةٌ and تَرْكَةٌ are the ns. un.]. (K.) b6: A raceme of dates (كِبَاسَة [in the CK, erroneously, كُناسة]) after it has had what was upon it shaken off, (AHn, K, TA,) and is left: pl. تَرَائِكُ: (AHn, TA:) and ↓ تَرِيكٌ signifies a raceme (عُنْقٌود) when what was upon it has been eaten; (AHn, K, TA;) and a raceme of dates (عِذْق) that has had what was upon it shaken off, (K, TA,) so that nothing remains upon it: so AHn says in one place. (TA.) b7: It is said in a trad., إِنَّ لِلّهِ تَرَائِكَ فِى خَلْقِهِ, meaning [Verily to God are referrible] conditions which He hath perpetuated in mankind, of hope and heedlessness, so that they apply themselves thereby with boldness, forwardness, presumptuousness, or arrogance, to the things of the present world. (TA.) مَتْرُوكٌ [pass. part. n. of تَرَكَ, Left, forsaken, &c. b2: ] In lexicology, Obsolete. (Mz 10th نوع.)

ثوب

1 ثَابَ, (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. ـُ (S, Mgh, &c.,) inf. n. ثَوْبٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and ثَوَبَانٌ (S) and ثُؤُوبٌ, (M, K,) He, or it, (a thing, M,) returned; (M, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ ثوّب, inf. n. تَثْوِيبٌ: (M, K:) he returned to a place to which he had come before; or it returned &c.: (T:) he (a man) returned, after he had gone away. (S.) You say, تَفَرَّقُوا ثُمَّ ثَابُوا i. e. [They became separated, or dispersed: then] they returned. (A.) b2: ثاب إِلَى اللّٰهِ, like تَابَ, (assumed tropical:) He returned [from disobedience] to obedience to God; he repented; as also أَنَابَ. (T.) b3: ثاب also signifies (assumed tropical:) He returned to a state of advertency, or vigilance; or he had his attention roused. (Th, T.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) He returned to a state of health, or soundness: (TA, from a trad.:) he became convalescent, and fat, after leanness. (Mgh.) And ثاب جِسْمُهُ, (M, A, K,) inf. n. ثَوَبَانٌ; (M, K;) and جِسْمُهُ ↓ اثاب; (IKt, M;) and ثاب إِلَيْهِ جِسْمُهُ; (T, M, A;) and ↓ اثاب, alone; (S, M, A;) (tropical:) He became fat, after leanness; (A;) his good state of body returned to him; (S, M, K; *) his condition of body became good, after extenuation; and health, or soundness, thereof returned to him. (T.) b5: ثاب إِلَيْهِ عَقْلُهُ (tropical:) [His reason, or intellect, returned to him]: and حِلْمُهُ [his forbearance, or clemency]. (A.) b6: ثاب المَآءُ (assumed tropical:) The water of a well returned, or collected again: (T:) the water attained again its former state after some had been drawn: (M:) the water collected [again] in a wateringtrough, or tank. (S.) b7: ثاب النَّاسُ (assumed tropical:) The people collected themselves together, and came. (S.) And ثاب القَوْمُ (assumed tropical:) The company of men came following one another: the verb is not used in this sense in speaking of one person. (M.) b8: ثاب said of a man's property, (tropical:) It became abundant, and collected. (A.) b9: Said of dust, (tropical:) It rose, or spread, or diffused itself, and became abundant. (A.) b10: Said of a watering-trough, or tank, (T, M, A, K,) inf. n. ثَوْبٌ (Az, T, M, K) and ثَوَبَانٌ (Az, T) and ثُؤُوبٌ, (M, K,) (tropical:) It became full: (Az, T, M, A, K:) or nearly full. (Az, T, M, K.) 2 ثوِّب, inf. n. تَثْوِيبٌ: see 1, first sentence. b2: ثوَب بَعْدَ خَصَاصَةٍ (tropical:) [He returned to a state of richness, or competence, after poverty, or straitness, or being in an evil condition]. (A, TA.) b3: تَثْوِيبٌ meaning The calling, or summoning, (M, Mgh, K,) to prayer, (M, K,) and to other things, (M,) is said to be from ثَوْبٌ “ a garment,” (Mgh,) because a man, when he comes crying out for aid, makes a sign with his garment, (M, Mgh,) moving it about, raising his hand with it, in order that he to whom he calls may see it, (Mgh,) and this action is like a calling, or summoning, (M, Mgh,) and an announcing, to him; so the calling, or summoning, by reason to frequent usage of this word [as meaning the making a sign with a garment], came to be thus called; and one said of the caller, or summoner, ثوَب: (Mgh:) or it means the calling, or summoning, twice; (M, K;) or the repeating a call or summons; from ثاب “ he returned: ” (Mgh:) you say, ثوّب, inf. n. as above, (T, Msb,) meaning he called, or summoned, one time after another; (T;) he repeated his call, or cry: (Msb:) and hence تثويب in the أَذَان; (T, Msb;) i. e., the saying of the مُؤَذِّن, after having, by the اذان, called the people to prayer, الصَّلَاهْ رَحِمَكُمُ اللّٰهُ الصَّلَاهْ [Prayer: may God have mercy on you! Prayer!]; thus calling to it a second time: (T:) or his saying, (S, TA,) in the morning call to prayer, (S,) الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمٌ [Prayer is better than sleep]; (S, TA;) for he resumes his call by saying this after he has said, حَىَّ عَلَى

الصَّلَاهْ [and حَىَّ عَلَى الفَلَاحٌ]; desiring the people to hasten to prayer: (TA:) or his saying, in the morning call to prayer, الصلاة خيرمن النوم twice, (T, K,) after having said, حَىّ علي الصلاه حىّ علي الفلاح: (T:) or the old تثويب was the saying of the مُؤَذِّن, in the morning call to prayer, الصلاة خير من النوم: and the modern, الصَّلَاهْ الصَّلَاهْ; or قَامَتْ قَامَتْ. (Mgh.) It also signifies The إِقَامَة; (Mgh, K, TA;) [meaning, the chanting, by the مُبَلِّغُون, in a mosque, not by the مُؤَذِّن, the common words of the أَذَان, with the addition of قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاهْ (The time of prayer has come), pronounced twice after حىّ على الفلاح;] i. e. the اقامة of prayer: (IAth, TA:) and this is what is meant by the phrase, in a trad., إِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ [When the words of the اقامة are chanted]. (IAth, Mgh, TA.) And The praying after the prayer divinely ordained. (Yoo, T, K.) You say, ثوّب, meaning He performed a supererogatory prayer after the prescribed; تثويب being only after the prescribed; being the praying after praying: (T:) and ↓ تثوّب signifies the same. (K.) And ثّوب بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ He performed two rek'ahs as a supererogatory act. (A.) But this and the similar significations are said to be post-classical. (MF.) b4: See also 4, in four places.

A2: ثَيَّبَتْ, (T, S, Mgh,) inf. n. تَثْيِيبٌ; (T, Mgh;) formed from ثَيِّبٌ, upon supposition [that the medial radical letter of this word is ى, whereas many hold that letter to be و]; (Mgh;) or ↓ تَثَيَّبَتْ; (K in art. ثيب; [the author of which seems to have supposed that, for ثَيَّبَتْ, one should read ثُيِّبَتْ; and therefore he gives مُثَيَّبٌ as syn. with ثَيِّبٌ;]) She (a woman) became what is termed ثَيِّب. (T, Mgh, K.) b2: [Accord. to my copy of the Mgh, it also signifies She (a camel) became what is termed نَاب: but I think that, in this instance, it is a mistranscription, for نَيَّبَتْ.]

A3: [See also the last sentence of the second paragraph of art. ثرب; and compare, with what is there said by SM, meanings assigned below to مَثَابٌ and مَثَابَةٌ.]3 الخُطَّابُ يُثَاوِبُونَهَا The suitors return to her (namely, a woman such as is termed ثَيِّب,) time after time. (A, Mgh.) 4 اثاب: see 1, in two places. b2: It may also mean (assumed tropical:) It (a valley, or a well,) had a return of water after a stoppage thereof. (Ham p. 598.) A2: اثاب اللّٰهُ جِسْمَهُ (tropical:) God restored him to fatness, after leanness; (A;) restored his body to a good state, or condition.

(T, L.) b3: اثابهُ اللّٰهُ, (T, S, * M, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِثَابَةٌ; (Mgh;) and أَثْوَبَهُ [dev. from rule]; (M, K;) and ↓ ثوّبهُ, (T, A,) inf. n. تثْوِيبٌ; (T, Mgh;) God recompensed, compensated, requited, or rewarded, him: (T, S, * M, A, Mgh, * Msb, K:) said in relation to good and to evil. (T.) And اثابهُ, (Lh, M,) and أَثْوَبَهُ, (T,) مَثُوبَةً حَسَنَةً, (Lh, T, M,) and مَثْوَبَةً, (Lh, M,) He (God) gave him a good recompense, compensation, &c. (M.) and مَثُوبَتَهُ ↓ ثوّبهُ He gave him his recompense, &c. (M, K.) It is said in a trad., أَثِيبُوا أَخَاكُمْ, i. e. Recompense ye your brother for his good deed. (TA.) And in the Kur [lxxxiii. last verse], هَلْ الكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ ↓ ثُوِّبَ Have the unbelievers been recompensed for what they did? (T, S, M.) And one says also, اثابهُ مِنْ هِبَتِهِ, meaning He gave him a substitute, something instead or in exchange, or a compensation, for his gift. (Mgh, * and TA in art. جنب.) And مِنْ كَذَا ↓ ثوّبهُ, (M,) inf. n. تَثْوِيبٌ, (K,) He gave him a substitute, &c., for such a thing. (M, K. *) b4: اثاب الثَّوْبَ, inf. n. إِثَابَةٌ, He sewed the garment, or piece of cloth, the second time: when one sews it the first time, [in a slight manner,] you say of him مَلَّهُ [and شَلَّهُ, i. e. “ he sewed it in the manner termed ‘ running ' ”]. (T.) b5: اثاب الحَوْضَ (tropical:) He filled the watering-trough, or tank: (K, TA:) or nearly filled it. (K.) 5 تثوّب: b2: and تَثَيَّبَتْ: see 2, in the latter part of the paragraph. b3: The former also signifies He gained, or earned, a ثَوَاب [or recompense, &c.]. (K.) But this is said to be post-classical. (MF.) 6 تثاوب: see ثُئِبَ, in art. ثأب.10 استثاب مَالًا He restored to himself, or repossessed himself of, property; syn. اِسْتَرْجَعَهُ; (T, A, K;) his property having gone away. (T, A.) And اِسْتَثَبْتُ بِمَالِكَ I restored to myself, or repossessed myself of, property, by means of that which thou gavest me; my property having gone away. (A.) El-Kumeyt says, إِنَّ العَشِيرَةَ تَسْتَثِيبُ بِمَالِهِ فَيُغِيرُ وَهْوَ مُوَفِّرٌ أَمْوَالَهَا [Verily the tribe restore to themselves wealth by means of his property; and he makes incursions into hostile territories at his own expense, making their property abundant by the spoil that they gain with him]. (T, TA.) b2: استثابهُ He asked him to recompense, compensate, requite, or reward, him. (S, K.) ثَوْبٌ A garment, (M, Mgh, Msb, K,) [or piece of cloth or stuff,] that is worn by men, composed of linen, cotton, wool, fur, خَزّ [q. v.], (Mgh, Msb,) silk, or the like; (Msb;) but [properly] not what is cut out of several pieces, such as the shirt, and trousers, or drawers, &c.; (Mgh;) [though often applied to a shirt or shift (قَمِيص or دِرْع) and to a جُبَّة &c.:] it seems to be so called because the wearer returns to it, or it to the wearer, time after time: (Mgh:) [also a garment worn by women and girls over the shift; (see أُصْدَةٌ;) app., as in the present day, a long gown, reaching to the feet, with very wide sleeves:] pl. ثِيَابٌ [the pl. of mult.] (T, S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and أَثْوَابٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (S, M, Msb, K) and أَثْوُبٌ and أَثْؤُبٌ, (S, M, K,) the last two being pls. of pauc., and the latter of them being thus pronounced with ء by some of the Arabs because the dammeh immediately after و is deemed difficult of utterance; for which reason they substitute ء for و in all instances like this. (S.) b2: Curtains, and the like, are not [properly] called ثِيَاب; but أَمْتِعَةُ البَيْتِ: (Mgh, Msb:) though Es-Sarakhsee uses the phrase ثِيَابُ البَيْتِ. (Mgh.) تَعَلَّقَ بِثِيَابِ اللّٰهِ (tropical:) [He clung to the curtains of the House of God], i. e., to the curtains of the Kaabeh, is a tropical expression. (A.) b3: Sometimes, ثَوْبٌ is used metonymically to signify (tropical:) A thing [of any kind] that veils, covers, or protects: as in the saying of a poet, كَثَوْبِ ابْنِ بِيضٍ وَقَاهُمْ بِهِ فَسَدَّ عَلَى السَّالِكِينَ السَّبِيلَا [Like the means of protection adopted by Ibn-Beed: he protected them by it, and closed the way against the passengers]. (TA.) Ibn-Beed was a wealthy merchant of the tribe of 'Ád, who hamstrung his she-camel upon a mountain-road, and stopped the way [to his abode] with it. (K in art. بيض.) b4: In the same manner, also, ثِيَابٌ is used to signify (tropical:) Weapons. (Ham p. 63.) b5: And أَثْوَابٌ is sometimes employed to signify (assumed tropical:) The wearers of garments; the wearers' bodies. (R, TA.) Esh-Shemmákh says, (T,) or Leylà, describing camels, (TA,) وَمَوْهَا بِأَثْوَابٍ خِفَافٍ فَلَا تَرَى

لَهَا شَبَهًا إِلَّا النَّعَامَ المُنَفَّرَا i. e. They mounted them, namely, the travellingcamels, (T,) with their [light, or agile,] bodies: [and thou seest not anything like them, except ostriches scared away.] (T, TA.) And in like manner, also, the dual is employed to signify (assumed tropical:) The wearer's body, or self; or what the garments infold: and ثِيَاب is employed in the same manner. (TA.) You say, لِلّهِ ثَوْبَاهُ, i. e. (tropical:) To God be he [meaning his excellence] attributed! [ for nothing but what is excellent is to be attributed to God:] (A:) or it means لِلّهِ دَرُّهُ [To God be attributed the good that hath proceeded from him! or his good deed! &c.: see arts. اله and در]. (K.) And فِى ثَوْبَىْ أَبِى أَنْ أَفِيَهُ meaning (tropical:) [On me and on my father it rests, or lies, or be it, that I pay it: or] فِىذِمَّتِى وَذِمَّةِأَبِى [on my responsibility and the responsibility of my father]. (K, TA.) And اُسْلُلْ ثِيَابَكَ مِنْ ثِيَابِى (tropical:) Withdraw, or separate, thyself from me. (A.) b6: [The following exs. are mostly, or all, tropical.] b7: إِنِّ المَيِّتَ لَيُبْعَثُ فِى ثِيَابِهِ الَّتِى يَمُوتُ فِيهَا, (K, * TA,) a saying of Mohammad, repeated by Aboo-Sa'eed El-Khudree, when, being about to die, he had called for new garments, and put them on: (TA:) it means Verily the dead will be raised in his garments in which he dies; accord. to some; and was used in this sense by Aboo-Sa'eed: (ElKhattábee, MF, TA:) or (assumed tropical:) [agreeably with] his works (K, TA) with which his life is closed: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) in the state in which he dies, according as it is good or evil. (TA.) b8: وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ, in the Kur [lxxiv. 4], means And purify thy garments: (Abu-l-'Abbás, T:) or shorten thy garments; for the shortening them is a means of purity: (T:) or (assumed tropical:) put not on thy garments in a state of disobedience or unrighteousness: (I'Ab, T:) or (assumed tropical:) be not perfidious; for [figuratively speaking,] he who is so pollutes his garments: (Fr, T:) or, as some say, (assumed tropical:) purify thy heart: (Abu-l-'Abbás, T, K:) or (assumed tropical:) purify thyself (IKt, T, TA) from sins, or offences: (IKt, TA:) or (assumed tropical:) rectify thine actions, or thy conduct. (TA.) b9: You say, فُلَانْ نَقِىُّ الثَّوْبِ, meaning (tropical:) Such a one is free from vice, or fault: (A:) and طَاهِرُ الثَّوْبِ (tropical:) [the same; or pure in heart, or conduct, or reputation]. (TA in art. نصح.) And دَنِسُ الثِّيَابِ (tropical:) Vicious, or faulty: (A:) or perfidious: (Fr, T:) or foul, or evil, in reputation, (T, TA,) in conduct, or actions, and in the way that he follows [with respect to religion and morality].

(K. See these two words.) ثِيبٌ: see ثَائِبٌ, in two places.

ثُبَةٌ The place where the water collects in a valley or low ground; so called because the water returns to it: (Aboo-Kheyreh, T:) and the middle of a watering-trough or tank, (T, S, M,) to which the water returns when it has been emptied, (S,) or to which what remains of the water returns; (T;) as also ↓ مَثَابٌ: (S:) the ة is a substitute for the و, the medial radical, which is suppressed; (S, L;) the word being from ثَابَ, aor. ـُ (L:) Aboo-Is-hák infers that this is the case from its having for its dim. ↓ ثُوَيْبَةٌ: but it may be from ثَبَّيْتُ “ I collected together: ” (M:) it is mentioned in the K in art. ثبى or ثبو, and not here. (TA.) See also art. ثبو or ثبى. b2: Also A company of men; (T, M, L;) and so أُثْبِيَّةٌ: (M:) or a company of men in a state of separation or dispersion; (T;) a distinct body, or company, of people: (Yoo, T:) and a troop of horsemen: (M:) pl. ثُبَاتٌ and ثُبُونَ (T, M) and ثِبُونَ: (S and M in art. ثبى, and M in art. ثبو also:) accord. to some, from ثَابَ, being originally ثُوبَةٌ; and its dim. is ↓ ثُوَيْبَةٌ: accord. to others, it is originally ثُبْيَةٌ; (T, L;) and its pl. is ثُبًى. (L.) Hence, in the Kur [iv. 73], فَانْفِرُوا ثُبَاتٍ, i. e. [And go ye forth to to war against the unbelievers] in troops, (Fr, T,) or in distinct bodies. (Yoo, T.) See, again, art. ثبو or ثبى.

ثُوَبَآءُ: see ثُؤَبَآءُ, in art. ثأب.

ثَوَابٌ (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ مَثَابَةٌ (T, Msb) and ↓ مَثُوبَةٌ (T, S, M, K) and ↓ مَثْوَبَةٌ, (EtTemeemee, T, M, K,) the last anomalous, (M,) and unknown to the Kilábees, who knew the second of these words, (T,) A recompense, compensation, requital, or reward, (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) of obedience [to God]: (S:) or absolutely; for good and for evil; as appears from the words of the Kur, هَلْ ثُوِّبَ الكُفَّارُ [cited above, see 4]; but more especially and frequently, for good. (IAth, L, MF, TA.) b2: ثَوَابٌ is also used as a quasi-inf. n., in the sense of إِثَابَةٌ; and in this case, accord to the Koofees and Baghdádees, it may govern as a verb, [like the inf. n.,] as in the saying, لِإَنَّ ثَوَابَ اللّهِ كُلَّ مُوَحِّدٍ

جِنَانٌ مِنَ الفِرْدَوْسِ فِيهَا يُخَلَّدُ [For God's rewarding every believer in his unity will be the giving gardens of Paradise, wherein he will be made to abide for ever]. (Expos. of the Shudhoor edh-Dhahab.) b3: It signifies also (tropical:) Honey; (K, TA;) i. e. (TA) the good that proceeds from bees. (A, TA.) b4: And in like manner, (tropical:) [Rain; i. e.] the good that results from the winds. (A, TA. [See ثَائِبٌ.]) b5: and (assumed tropical:) Bees; (M, K;) because they return [to their hives]. (M.) ثَيِّبٌ, [like سَيِّدٌ; originally ثَوِيبٌ, or ثَيْوِبٌ; i. e.] of the measure فَعِيلٌ, (Mgh,) or فَيْعِلٌ; (Msb;) A woman who has become separated from her husband (Lth, T, M, Mgh, K) in any manner: (Lth, T, M, Mgh:) or a woman whose husband has died, or who has been divorced, and has then returned to the marriage-state: (AHeyth, TA:) or one that is not a virgin: (IAth, TA:) or a woman to whom a man has gone in; and a man who has gone in to a woman: (Ks, ISk, S, Mgh, K:) or a person who has married: (Msb:) applied to a man and to a woman; (As, S, M, Msb;) like بِكْرٌ and أَيِّمٌ: (Mgh, Msb:) from ثَابَ; (IAth, Mgh, Msb;) because they generally return time after time to the marriage-state: (Mgh:) but mostly applied to a woman; because she returns to her family in a manner different from the first [state]; (Msb;) or because the suitors return to her time after time: (Mgh:) or it is not applied to a man (Lth, El-'Eyn, T, M, Mgh, K) except in the dual form, as when one says وَلَدُ الثَّيِّبَيْنِ: (Lth, El-'Eyn, T, M, K:) and a woman is also termed ↓ مُثَيِّبٌ; (M;) or ↓ مُثَيَّبٌ, like مُعَظَمٌ: (K: [but see 2, last sentence but two:]) the pl. of ثَيِبٌ applied to a woman is ثَيِّبَاتٌ, (T, Mgh, Msb,) and the post-classical writers say ثُيَّبٌ, which has not been heard as genuine Arabic: (Mgh, * Msb:) its pl. if applied to a man is ثُيِّبُونَ. (Msb.) It is said in a trad., الثَّيِّبَانِ يُرْجَمَانِ وَالبِكْرَانِ يُجْلَدَانِ وَيُغَرَّبَانِ [The two persons of whom each has previously had carnal intercourse in marriage with one of the other sex shall be stoned if they commit adultery together; and the two who have previously had no connubial intercourse with others shall be flogged and banished if they commit fornication together]. (T.) b2: It is also applied to (assumed tropical:) A woman who has attained the age of puberty, though a a virgin; tropically, and by extension of its proper signification. (IAth, TA.) b3: This word is mentioned in the K [and M] in art. ثيب; and its mention in art. ثوب is said by the author of the K to be wrong: but IAth and many others decisively assert that it is from ثَابَ, aor. ـُ “ he returned. ” (MF, TA.) ثُوَيْبَةٌ: see ثُبَةٌ, in two places.

ثِيابَةٌ and ثُيُوبَةٌ, as meaning The state of being a ثَيِّب, are not of the genuine language of the Arabs. (Mgh.) ثِيَابِىٌّ One who takes care of the clothes in the bath. (K.) [A post-classical word.]

ثَوَّآبٌ i. q. تَوَّابٌ [One who repents, or returns from disobedience to obedience to God, much or often]. (T.) A2: A seller of garments, or pieces of cloth: (Az, T, L, K:) and a possessor thereof. (Sb, S, L, K.) بِئْرٌ لَهَا ثَائِبٌ (tropical:) A well into which water returns after one has drawn from it; (A, TA;) see مَثَابٌ; and in like manner, [but in an intensive sense in the second of the following phrases,] ↓ بِئِرٌ لَهَا ثِيبٌ, and وَعِيبٍ ↓ ذِاتُ ثِيبٍ [in which وعيب is an epithet]: (T, L, TA:) or the first of these three phrases means a well of which the water stops sometimes, and then returns. (Ham p. 598.) You say of a well (بئر), مَا أَسْرَعَ ثَائِبَهَا (assumed tropical:) How quick is its returning supply of water! (T.) b2: ثَائِبُ البَحْرِ (assumed tropical:) The water of the sea when it flows after ebbing. (K.) Hence, كَلَأٌ مِثْلُ ثَائِبِ البَحْرِ (assumed tropical:) Fresh, sappy, [green,] herbage. (T, L.) b3: قَوْمٌ لَهُمْ ثَائِبٌ (tropical:) A people, or number of men, who come company after company. (A, TA.) b4: ثَائِبٌ also signifies (tropical:) A violent wind that blows at the beginning of rain. (S, K, TA.) مَثَابٌ: see مَثَابَةٌ, in four places: b2: and see ثُبِةٌ. b3: Also (assumed tropical:) The place from which the water returns [to supply the place of that which has been drawn, in a well]: whence ↓ بِئْرٌ لَهَا ثَائِبٌ [see ثَائِبٌ]. (TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) The station of the water-drawer, (A 'Obeyd, T, S, M, K,) above the عُرُوش [which means the pieces of wood upon which he stands], (A 'Obeyd, T,) or at the brink, where is the عَرْش [sing. of عُرُوش], (S,) or which forms part of the عُرُوش, (M,) of a well: (A 'Obeyd, T, S, M, K:) or the middle of a well: (K:) or it has this meaning also: (M:) pl. مَثَابَاتٌ. (T, M.) [See also مَثَابةٌ.] b5: And (assumed tropical:) The construction, or casing, of stones (طىُّ الحِجَارَةِ) that succeed one another from top to bottom [round the interior of a well]. (IAar.) [See again مَثَابَةٌ.]

(TA.) It has the first of all these meanings in the Kur ii. 119: (T, S, Bd, Jel, TA:) or it there means a place of recompense or reward for the pilgrimage to the Kaabeh and the visitation thereof. (Bd.) b2: And, sometimes, The place where the hunter, or fowler, puts his snare. (S.) b3: مَثَابَةٌ البِئْرِ (tropical:) The place where the water of the well collects: (A, TA:) or the place reached by the water of the well when it returns and collects after one has drawn from it. (M, K.) [Hence,] جَمَّتْ مَثَابَةُ جَهْلِهِ (tropical:) His ignorance became confirmed. (A, TA.) And كَانَ يَسْتَجِمُّ مَثَابَةَ سَفَهِهِ (tropical:) [He used to wait for his lightwittedness, or silliness, to attain its full degree]: a metaphorical phrase, occurring in a trad. (Har p. 68.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) The stones that project, or overhang, around the well, (M, K,) upon which the man sometimes stands in order that the bucket (دَلْو or غَرْب) may not strike against the side of the well: (M:) or the place where it is walled round within (مَوْضِعُ طَيِّهَا): (K:) or, accord. to IAar, it means طَىُّ البِئْرِ; but [ISd says,] I know not whether he mean thereby مَوْضِعُ طَيِّهَا, or the building it [or walling it round within] with stones; though it is rarely that a word of the measure مَفَعَلَةٌ [like مثابة] is an inf. n. (M.) [See مَثَابٌ: and see what is said of تَثْوِيبٌ in the last sentence of the second paragraph of art. ثرب.] b5: مَثَابَاتٌ [the pl.] also signifies (assumed tropical:) The foundations of a house.

وحد

1 وَحَدَ, aor. ـِ (T, L, Msb;) and وَحِدَ, (Lh, M, L, K,) aor. ـْ (Lh) and يَحِدُ; (K;) with the latter aor. , like وَرِثَ, aor. ـِ but وَحِدَ with this aor. is not mentioned by the lexicologists or grammarians [except F]; (MF;) [and its aor. is therefore probably يَوْحَدُ, only, agreeably with analogy, for which reason it seems to be omitted in the M;] and وَحُدَ, (Lh, M, L, Msb, K,) aor. also يَحِدُ; (K;) but this is without a parallel, and without any authority [except F]; (MF;) or يَوْحَدُ; (L;) [but this is also extr., and is probably a mistake for يَوْحُدُ, which is the form agreeable with analogy;] inf. n. حِدَةٌ (T, M, L, Msb, K) and وَحْدٌ (M, L, K) and وَحَدٌ (L) and وَحْدَةٌ, (L, K,) or وُحْدَةٌ, (as in some copies of the K and in the TA) and وُحُودٌ (K) and وَحَادَةٌ (M, L, Msb, K) and وُحُودَةٌ; (K;) He, or it, was, or became, alone, by himself or itself, apart from others; (T, L, Msb;) as also [↓ إِتَّحَدَ; and ↓ توحّد; and] ↓ استوحد; (A:) he was, or became, alone, without anyone to cheer him by his society, company, or conversation: (L:) he remained alone, by himself, apart from others; (Lh, M, L, K;) as also ↓ توحّد. (M, L, K.) See also 5, below.2 وحّدهُ, (inf. n. تَوْحِيدٌ, K,) He made it one; or called it one: (K:) like as one says ثَنَاهُ, and ثَلَّثَهُ: (S, L:) as also أَحَّدَهُ. (TA.) Similar verbs are formed from the other nouns significant of numbers, to عَشَرَةٌ. (Esh-Sheybánee, K.) b2: وحّد لِامْرَأَتِهِ, or عِنْدَهَا, He remained one night with his wife: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to any saying or action. (TA, voce سَبَّعَ.) b3: وحّد اللّٰهَ, inf. n. تَوْحِيدٌ, He asserted, or declared, God to be one: he asserted, declared, or preferred belief in, the unity of God: as also احّدهُ. (T, L.) b4: التَّوْحِيدُ The belief in God alone; (L, K;) in his unity. (L.) 4 اوحد اللّٰهُ جَانِبَهُ [God rendered him solitary]; i. e., he remained alone; (K;) or was made to remain alone. (L.) b2: اوحدهُ لِلْأَعْدَآءِ He left him [alone] to the enemies. (L, K.) b3: اوحدهُ He (God) made him the unequalled one of his time: (S, L, K:) made him to have no equal. (A.) b4: اوحدهُ النَّاسُ The people left him alone, or by himself. (L.) b5: أَوْحَدْتُهُ بِرُؤْيَتِى, inf. n. إِيحَادٌ, [I singled him by my sight;] I saw none save him. (S, L.) b6: اوحدت She (a ewe) brought forth one only: (S, K:) like

أَفَذَّتْ. (S.) b7: اوحدت بِهِ She (a woman) brought him forth an unequalled one. (L, from a trad.) 5 توحّد اللّٰهُ بِعِصْمَتِهِ, (S,) or توحّدهُ بعصمته, (L, K,) God protected him himself, not committing him to the care of another. (S, L, K.) b2: توحّد بَالأَمْرِ He was, or became, alone, without any to share or participate with him, in the affair. (L.) b3: توحّد بِرَأْيِهِ He was, or became, alone, without any to share, or participate with him, in his opinion. (S, L.) b4: See 1.8 إِوْتَحَدَ [اِتَّحَدَ It was, or became, one. And hence, اِتَّحَدَ مَعَهُ He was, or became, one with him in interests &c.] b2: اتّحد It (a number of things, or substances, two and more, KT,) became one. (KT, KL.) See 1.10 إِسْتَوْحَدَ see 1.

حِدَةٌ: see وَحْدٌ. b2: فَعَلَهُ مِنْ ذَاتِ حِدَتِهِ, and عَلَى ذات حدته, and من ذِى حدته, and من ذات نَفْسِهِ, and من ذات رَأْيِهِ, He did it of himself; of his own accord; of his own judgment. (Az, L, K.) وَحْدٌ: see 1, and وَحِيدٌ. b2: رَأَيْتُهُ وَحْدَهُ (S, L, K) I saw him alone. (S, L.) وحد is here an inf. n., having no dual nor pl. (K.) The Koofees hold it to be in the acc. case as an adv. n. of place: the Basrees, as an inf. n., in every instance; as though thou saidst أَوْحَدْتُهُ بِرُؤْيَتِى إِبحَادًا, meaning “ I saw none save him,” and then substituted وحده: or, as Abu-l-'Abbás says, it may mean the man's being himself alone; as though thou saidst رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مُنْفَرِدًا اِنْفِرَادًا, and then substituted وحده. (S.) Or it is in the acc. case as a denotative of state accord. to the Basrees [and the grammarians in general]; not as an inf. n., J being in error in what he says on this matter: (IB, K:) the Basrees hold it to be a noun occupying the place of an inf. n. in the acc. case as a denotative of state; like جَآءَ زَيْدٌ رَكْضًا, meaning رَاكِضًا: (IB:) excepting some of them, as Yoo, who holds it to be in the acc. case as an adv. n. of place, for عَلَى وَحْدِهِ, (IB, K,) like عِنْدَهُ: (TA:) and there is a third opinion, that of Hishám; that it is in the acc. case as an inf. n. (L.) Or, (accord. to IAar, L,) it is a noun used as a noun absolutely: (L, K:) so in the dial. of the Benoo-Temeem: (Msb:) you say جَلَسَ وَحْدَهُ, and عَلَى وَحْدِهِ, and جَلَسَا عَلَى وَحْدِ هِمَا, and وَحْدَيْهِمَا, and جَلَسُوا عَلَى وَحْدِهِمْ, [He sat alone, and they two sat alone, and they sat alone]. (L, K.) When not preceded by a prefixed n. [or a prep.], it is always in the acc. case: (Lth, L:) you say, لَا إِلَاَه إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ [There is no deity but God alone]: and مَرَرْتُ بِزَيْدٍ وَحْدَهُ [I passed by Zeyd alone]: (L:) [excepting in a few cases, such as the phrases]

قُلْنَا هٰذَا الأَمْرَ وَحْدَيْنَا [We two alone said this thing], and قَالَتَاهُ وَحْدَيْهُمَا [They two women alone said it]; mentioned by Az. (L.) Yousay also, هٰذَا عَلَى وَحْدِهِ, and ↓ عَلَى حِدَتِهِ, This is by itself; (L, K;) and هُمَا عَلَى حِدَتِهِمَا They two are by themselves: and هُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِمْ They are by themselves: (L:) and أَعْطِ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ

مَنْهُمْ عَلَى حِدَتِهِ Give thou to every one of them by himself; syn. على حِيَالِهِ. (S.) The ة in حِدَةٌ is a substitute for the و (S, L) which is cut off from the beginning. (L.) b3: وَحْدٌ, (K,) or ↓ وَحَدٌ, (L,) A wild animal alone, by itself, or apart from others. (L, K.) b4: وَحَدٌ, (K,) or ↓ وَحَدٌ, (L,) A man whose lineage and origin are unknown. (Lth, L, K.) b5: وَحْد is used as the complement of a prefixed n. only in the following phrases: (A'Obeyd, S, L:) هُوَ نَسِيجُ وَحْدِهِ, which is an expression of praise; (S, L, K;) meaning, (tropical:) He is one unequalled; one who has no second: (L:) or he is a man of right judgment: you say also هُمَا نَسِيجَا وَحْدِهِمَا, and هُمْ نُسَجَآءُ وَحْدِهِمْ, and هِىَ نَسِيجَةُ وَحْدِهَا, and هُنَّ نَسَائِجُ وَحْدِهِنَّ: (Lth, L:) [see art. نسج:] it is as though you said نَسِيجُ إِفْرَادٍ: you put وحده in the place of an inf. n. in the gen. case: (S:) and رَجُلُ وَحْدِهِ, (IAar, L,) and رُجَيْلُ وَحْدِهِ, (S, L,) [A man unequalled; who has no second, and a little man (probably meaning the contr.) &c.]: and قَرِيعُ وَحْدِهِ A man with whom no one contends in excellence: (Lth, L:) and عُيَيْرُ وَحْدِهِ, and جُحَيْشُ وَحْدِهِ, which are expressions of dispraise; (S, L, K;) meaning, (tropical:) One who does not consult, nor mix with, any one, and who is contemptible and weak: (Sh, L:) وَحْد being used in the manner of an inf. n., not being an epithet nor an enunciative so as to be in concordance with the preceding noun, would be more properly in the acc. case; but the Arabs use it in these instances as the complement of a prefixed n.: (Lth, L:) these expressions are indeterminate: for the Arabs say, رُبَّ نَسِيجِ وَحْدِهِ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ (tropical:) [Few unequalled men have I seen]. (Hishám, Fr., L.) وَحَدٌ: see وَحْدٌ and وَحِيدٌ.

وَحِدٌ: see وَحِيدٌ.

وَحْدَةٌ The state of being alone, or apart from others; solitariness; solitude. (Sb, S.) See 1. b2: وَحْدَةُ القَبْرِ [The solitude of the grave]. (A.) b3: [لَيْلَةُ الوَحْدَةِ The night of solitude; the first night after burial: so called because the soul is believed to remain in the grave during this night, and then to depart to the place appointed for the residence of good souls until the last day, or to the appointed prison in which wicked souls await their final doom. See also لَيْلَةٌ الوَحْشَةِ.]

وَحْدَانِيَّةٌ The unity of God: (L, K: *) as also أَحْدِيَّةٌ. (Msb.) وَحْدَانِيٌّ One who is singular in his religious opinions; who separates himself from the general body of believers: a rel. n. from الوَحْدَةُ; the ا and ن being added to give intensiveness to the signification. (L.) وُحَادَ: see مَوْحَدَ.

وَحِيدٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and ↓ مُتَوَحِّدٌ (L, K) and ↓ وَحَدٌ and ↓ وَحِدٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and ↓ وَحْدٌ (M, L) and ↓ وَاحِدٌ (L) A man alone; by himself; apart from others; solitary; lonely: (S, M, L, Msb, K;) as also أَحَدٌ: (M, L, K:) or, accord. to Az, one should not say رَجُلٌ أَحَدٌ, nor دِرْهَمٌ أَحَدٌ, nor شَىْءٌ أَحَدٌ, though some of the lexicologists assert that أَحَدٌ is originally وَحَدٌ: for أَحَدٌ is an epithet applied to God alone: (L:) the fem. epithet used in this sense is وَحِدَةٌ: (K:) and ↓ وَاحِدٌ in this sense receives the dual form: and the pl. is وُحْدَانٌ and أَحْدَانٌ and وِحَادٌ. (L.) رَجُلٌ وَحِيدٌ A man who has no one to cheer him by his society, conversation, or company. And ↓ رَجُلٌ مُتَوَحِّدٌ A man who remains alone, by himself, apart from others, or solitary, not mixing with other people, not sitting with them. (L.) See also وَحْدٌ.

وَاحِدٌ One; the first of the numbers: (S, L, Msb, K:) syn. [in many cases, which will be shown below,] with أَحَدٌ: (K:) [and one alone: a single person or thing:] fem. وَاحِدَةٌ: (L, Msb:) it sometimes receives the dual form; (L, K;) as in the expression إِلْتَقَيْنَا وَاحِدَيْنِ [We met, we being each of us one alone]; cited from a poet by IAar: or the dual form pertains to it in another sense, explained below, namely “ alone: ” (L:) pl. وَاحِدُونَ (S, L, K) and وُحْدَانٌ and أُحْدَانٌ; (S, L;) in the last of which, أ is substituted for و because of the dammeh: (L:) one says, أَنْتُمْ حَىٌّ وَاحِدٌ, and حَىٌّ وَاحِدُونَ, (Ye are one tribe, L) like as one says شِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ: (Fr, S, L:) آحَادٌ may also be a pl. of وَاحِدٌ [and therefore originally أَوْحَادٌ,] like as أَشْهَادٌ is pl. of شَاهِدٌ. (Th, Msb.) Its proper signification is A thing having no subdivision: and it is secondarily applied to any existing thing; so that there is no number to which it may not be applied as an epithet; wherefore one says, عَشَرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ [One ten], and مِائَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ [One hundred]. (Er-Rághib.) It is interchangeable for أَحَدٌ when used as an epithet applied to God; and in certain nouns of number. [See art. أحد.] In most cases differing from these two, there is a difference in usage. The latter is used in affirmative phrases as a prefixed noun only, governing the noun which follows it in the gen. case; and is used absolutely in negative phrases: whereas the former is used in affirmative phrases as a prefixed n. and otherwise. (Msb.) [See, again, art. أَحد.] b2: ↓ لَسْتُ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ بأَوِْحَدَ I am not alone, without a parallel, or watch, in this affair: (S, * L, K: *) or simply, I am not alone in it. (T, L.) The fem. وَحْدَآءُ is not used. (S, L.) b3: أُحْدَانٌ, the pl. of ↓ اوحد, is applied by a poet to dogs having no equals or matches. (S, L.) b4: فُلَانٌ لَا وَاحِدَ لَهُ Such a one has no equal, like, parallel, or match. (S, M, L.) b5: Also, One that has no equal; one unequalled. (L.) b6: فُلَانٌ وَاحِدُ دَهْرِهِ Such a person is the unequalled one of his age. (S, L.) And in like manner, (TA,) أَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ ↓ فُلَانٌ أَوْحَدُ (S, L) Such a person is the unequalled one of the people of his time. (TA.) The pl. of ↓ اوحد [as well as of واحد in the same sense] is أُحْدَانٌ, (originally وُحْدَانٌ, S) like as سُودَانٌ is pl. أَسْوَدُ. (S, L.) b7: وَاحِدُ أُمِّهِ [An unequalled son of his mother], is an indeterminate expression, like نَسِيجُ وَحْدِهِ, q. v. (Hishám, Fr. L.) b8: Also, A man pre-eminent in knowledge or science, or in valour in war, (L, K [in the CK, for بَأْس is put ناس]) or in other qualities; as though having no equal, and thus being alone: (L:) pl. وُحْدَانٌ and أُحْدانٌ. (L, K.) b9: الوَاحِدُ and الأَحَدُ (T, L) and ↓ الأَوْحَدُ and ↓ المُتَوَحِّدُ, (M, L, K,) epithets applied to God, The One, the Sole; He whose attribute is unity: (M, L, K:) or the first signifies the One in essence, who has no like nor equal; and the second, the One in attributes, beside whom there is no other: or the first, the One who is not susceptible of division into parts or portions, nor of duplication, and who has no equal nor like: (TL:) or the One who has ever been alone, without companion: (IAth, L:) and there is no being but God to whom the first and second of these epithets are applicable together, or to whom the second is applicable alone. (T, L.) See also أَحَدٌ, in art. أحد. b10: الإِنْسَانُ وَالفَرَسُ وَاحِدٌ فِى الجِنْسِ The human being and the horse are one in genus. And زَيْد وَعَمرْوٌ وَاحِدٌ فِى النَّوْعِ Zeyd and 'Amr are one in species. (Er-Rághib.) b11: وَاحِدٌ Singular, as opposed to plural: pl. وُحْدَانٌ. (The lexicons, passim.) b12: أَصْحَابِى وَأَصْحَابُكَ وَاحِدٌ [Thy companions and my companions are one and the same]. And الجُلُوسُ وَالقُعُود وَاحِدٌ [الجلوس and القعود are one and the same]. (L.) b13: See وَحِيدٌ. b14: حَادِىَ عَشَرَ, masc., and حَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ, fem., Eleventh. In this case, [and in similar instances, as حَادِى وَعِشْرُونَ Twentyfirst, &c.,] حادى and حادية are formed by transposition from وَاحِدٌ and وَاحِدَةٌ, by putting the first radical letter after the second. [When without the article, it is indecl.: but when rendered determinate by the article, the first word is decl.] You say, هُوَ حَادِىَ عَشَرَهُمْ [He is the eleventh of them]: and اليَوْمُ الحَادِى عَشَرَ [The eleventh day]: and اللَّيْلَةُ الحَادِيَةُ عَشْرَةَ [The eleventh night]. (ISd, L.) [The rules respecting حَادِىَ عَشَرَ and its fem. are the same as those respecting ثَالِثَ عَشَرَ and its fem., explained in art. ثلث, q. v.] b15: بِوَاحِدَةٍ signifies i. q. فَقَطْ: and is often used in the sense of البَتَّةَ. (MF, voce ذُرُّوحٌ.) إِحْدَى: see art. أحد.

أُحَادَ: see مُوْحَدَ.

أَوْحَدُ: see وَاحِدٌ.

مُوحِدٌ A ewe bringing forth, or that brings forth, one ewe only. (S, K.) [See مُغْرِدٌ.]

مَوْحَدَ and ↓ وُحَادَ and أُحَادَ [used adverbially] are imperfectly decl. because of their having the quality of an epithet and deviating from their original form, (S, L,) which is وَاحِدًا: (L, K:) or because they differ from their original both as to the letter and the meaning; the original word being changed as above stated, and the meaning being changed to وَاحِدًا وَاحِدًا: (S, L:) you say دَخَلُوا مَوْحَدَ مَوْحَدَ, (S, L, K,) [and وُحَادَ وُحَادَ,] and أُحَادَ أُحَادَ, (L, K,) They entered one [and] one, [one and one]; or one [by] one, [one by one]; (K;) or one at a time; one after another. (S, L.) مُوَحَّدَةٌ, (not مُوحَدَةٌ,) conv. term in lexicology, Having one diacritical point; one-pointed: an epithet added to باء to prevent its being mistaken for تاء, ثاء, or ياء. (The lexicons, passim.)]

مِيحَادٌ One of several hills, such as are called أَكَمَات, separate or remote, one from another: pl. مَوَاحِيدُ. (L, K.) F remarks, that J is in error in saying, المِيحَادُ مِنَ الوَاحِدِ كَالمِعْشَارِ مِنَ العَشَرَةِ: (TA:) but the meaning of this is, that it denotes one part or portion; like as مِعْشَارٌ signifies one of ten: (L:) [i. e., the former signifies one of several things whereof each is alone, or by itself:] and the same explanation is given by [several] old authors. (TA.) [In one copy of the S, instead of العَشَرَة, I find العُشْر; which affords a good sense, i. e., that ميحاد, is syn. with وَاحِدٌ; and may be the true reading.]

مُتَوَحِّدٌ: see وَحِيدٌ and وَاحِدٌ.

وسط

1 وَسَطَ القَوْمَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. وَسْطٌ (S, Msb, K) [and وُسُوطٌ (as shown below)] and سِطَةٌ, (S, K,) He sat, [or was, or became,] in the middle, or midst, of the people, or company of men; (K;) or among them: (TA;) i. q. ↓ توسّطهُمْ; (S, K;) or بَيْنَهُمْ ↓ توسّط: (Msb:) and in like manner, وَسَطَ المَكَانَ [he was, or became, or sat, in the middle, or midst, of the place]: (Msb:) and وَسَطَ الشَّىْءَ, and ↓ وسّطهُ, and ↓ توسّطهُ, he was, or became, in the middle, or midst, of the thing: and [in like manner] وُسُوطُ الشَّمْسِ signifies السَّمَآءَ ↓ تَوَسُّطُهَا [The sun's being, or becoming, in the middle, or midst, of the sky]. (M.) b2: وَسَطَ الشَّىْءَ also signifies He, or it, was, or became, in the best part of the thing, most remote from the two extremes. (TA.) And وَسَطَهُ He alighted, or took up his abode, in, or among, the best, or most generous, thereof. (M.) and وَسَطَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ, and فِى قَوْمِهِ, inf. n. وَسَاطَةٌ, The man occupied, or held, a middle place, [meaning the best place, or one of the best places,] among his people, in respect of truth and equity. (Msb.) And وَسَطَ قَوْمَهُ فِى الحَسَبِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. سِطَةٌ, [He held a middle, or good, or the best, rank among his people in regard of grounds of pretension to respect.] (M.) And وَسُطَ فِى

(TA.) [See وَسَطٌ, below.]2 وسّطهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَوْسِيطٌ, (S, K,) He put it in the middle, or midst. (S, K.) b2: And [so in the S, but in the K “ or,”] He cut it [in the middle, or midst, i. e.] in two halves. (S, K.) [See the pass. part. n., below.] b3: [In the Kur, c. 5,] some read, فَوَسَّطْنَ بِهِ جَمْعًا [which may mean And have put in the midst, thereby, a company of the enemy: or have divided in two halves, thereby, &c.: or have thereby become in the midst of a company of the enemy]: (S, TA:) others read فَوَسَطْنَ. (TA.) See 1, first sentence. b4: وسّط فى حَسَبِهِ: see 1, last sentence.5 تَوَسَّطَ see 1, first sentence, in four places. b2: توسّط بَيْنَ النَّاسِ He mediated, or interceded, between the men, or people, for the purpose of accommodation; from وَسَطَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ and فِى

قَوْمِهِ, explained above; (Msb;) or from وَسَاطَةٌ; (S;) he made mediation, or intercession, (عَمِلَ الوَسَاطَةَ,) between them. (K.) b3: توسّط also signifies He took what was of a middle sort, between the good and the bad. (K.) وَسْط, with the س quiescent, is an adv. n.; [as such written وَسْطَ, meaning In the middle of: in the midst of; or among;] (S, M, IB, Mgh, K;) and it is for this reason that it has its middle letter quiescent, (S, IB,) like بَيْنَ (IB) with which it is syn.; (IB, Msb;) [for] it may be used in any case in which بَيْنَ may be substituted for it; (S, IAth, K;) and, like بَيْنَ, it does not denote a part of the thing denoted by the noun to which it is prefixed, wherein differing from ↓ وَسَط. (S, IB, K.) You say, جَلَسْتُ وَسْطَ القَوْمِ (S, IB, Msb) I sat [in the middle of, or in the midst of,] or among, the people, or company of men, (IB, Msb;) not being one of them. (IB.) And وَسْطَ رَأْسِهِ دُهْنٌ [In the middle of his head is oil]; not meaning a component part of the head. (IB.) And it is said in a trad.

الجَالِسُ وَسْطَ الحَلْقَةِ مَلْعُونٌ [The sitter in the midst of the ring is cursed]: for he must of necessity turn his back towards some of those who surround him, and so displease them; wherefore they curse him and revile him. (IAth.) b2: It may not [properly] be used as a decl. n., (IB,) i. e. as an inchoative, (Mgh,) nor as an agent, nor as an objective complement; (IB, Mgh) &c.; thus, also, differing from ↓ وَسَط; unless it have the adverbial particle [فِى] prefixed to it; in which case it has the sense of وَسَط, and you say, جَلَسْتُ فِى وَسْطِ القَوْمِ and فى وَسْطِ رَأْسِهِ دُهْنٌ [like as you say جَلَسْتُ وَسْطَ القَوْمِ and وَسْطَ رَأْسِهِ دُهنٌ, explained above]: and sometimes it is used as a subst., preserving the quiescence [and the adverbial form], like as بَيْنَ is used as a subst. though virtually an adv. n., in cases like that where it is said in the Kur, [vi. 94,] لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ [meaning مَا بَيْنَكُمْ, or, as explained in the Expos. of the Jel., وَصْلُكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ]: (IB:) or وَسْط is sometimes used for ↓ وَسَط, improperly; (S;) or it may be so used; (Msb;) or it is so used by poetic license; (M;) or, as some say, each of them may take the place of the other; and this seems the most likely: (IAth:) or one says وَسْط, with sukoon, only, of that whereof the component parts are separate, or distinct, (IAth, K *,) such as a number of men, and beasts of carriage, &c.; (IAth;) and ↓ وَسَط, (IAth,) or both, (K,) of that whereof the component parts are united, (IAth, K *,) such as a house, and the head, (IAth,) or such as a ring: (K:) it is related, as on the authority of Th, that الشَّىْءِ ↓ وَسَطُ and وسْطُهُ [both meaning The middle, or midst, of the thing] are said when the thing is solid; but when its component parts are separate, or distinct, the word is وَسْطٌ, with sukoon, exclusively. (M.) وَسَطٌ [The middle, midst, or middle part, of a thing; i. e.,] properly, the part of which several lateral, or outer, portions are equal; as, for instance, the middle finger: but also meaning the part which is surrounded, or enclosed, on its several sides, although unequally: (Msb:) or the part that is between the two sides or extremities of a thing; (M, IB, Mgh, K;) [or the part, or point, that is between every two opposite extremities of a thing; and properly when equidistant;] as, for instance, the centre of a circle: (Mgh:) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ, (M, K,) which is [likewise] a subst., like أَفْكَلٌ and أَزْمَلٌ [but imperfectly decl. because originally an epithet]: (M:) وَسَطٌ has its middle letter with fet-h in order that it may agree in measure with its contr., which is طَرَفٌ; the like agreement being frequent: (IB:) and it is only used in cases in which بَيْنَ may not be substituted for it, herein [and in other respects, mentioned in the next preceding paragraph,] differing from وَسْط: (S, IB, K:) [respecting the similar and dissimilar usages of وَسَط and وَسّط, sufficient observations have been made in the next preceding paragraph, which see throughout, and more especially in its latter part:] the pl. of وَسَطٌ is أَوْسَاطٌ; and that of its syn. ↓ أَوْسَطُ is أَوَاسِطُ; or this may be a pl. of ↓ وَاسِطٌ, and originally وَوَاسِطُ. (M.) You say, جَلَسْتُ فِى

وَسَطِ الدَّارِ [I sat in the middle, or middle part, of the house]; (S, Mgh, Msb;) because وَسَط is a subst. (S.) And إِتَّسَعَ وَسَطُهُ [The middle, or middle part, thereof, became wide]. (Mgh, Msb.) And ضَرَبْتُ وَسَطَ رَأْسِهِ [I smote the middle, or middle part, of his head]. (Mgh, * Msb.) And كَسَرْتُ وَسَطَ الرُّمْحِ [I broke the middle, or middle part, of the spear]. (IB.) And وَسَطُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ طَرَفِهِ [The middle, or middle part, thereof is better than the extremity]. (Mgh, Msb.) And خَيَرُ الأُمُورِ أَوْسَاطُهَا The best of affairs, or actions, or cases, are such of them as are between two extremes. (M. [See R. Q. 1, in art. حق.]) It is sometimes put in the accus. case as an adv. n.; as in the saying, جَلَسْتُ وَسَطَ الدَّارِ; but this is an instance of departure from the original usage; and [the meaning is جَلَسْتُ فِى وَسَطِ الدَّارِ signifying as explained above; so that] it is not here syn. with بَيْنَ, like as وَسْطَ is. (IB.) b2: It is also used as an epithet: (IB, Mgh:) [as such signifying Middle; intermediate; midway, or equidistant, between the two extremities or extremes; in place, or position: but in this sense superseded in usage by ↓ أَوْسَطُ and ↓ وَاسِطٌ and ↓ مُتَوَسِّطٌ: and in time; but in this sense also superseded in usage by ↓ أَوْسَطُ:] middling; of middle sort, kind, or rate; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ (S, * M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ مُتَوَسِّطٌ (M, Mgh, Msb) and ↓ وَسُوطٌ (M, TA) [and ↓ وَسِيطٌ]; between good and bad; (Msb, TA;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (Msb:) conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; just; equitable: (Zj, S, K:) good; (Zj, M, Msb, K;) as also ↓ وَسِيطٌ: (M:) most conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; most just; most equitable; applied to what is so of a thing; (S, M, K;) whatever it be; (S, K;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطَ: (M:) best; (Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (S, * Msb, K *:) most generous: (M:) and when used as an epithet, it is applied alike to a masc., fem., sing., dual, and pl., subst.: (Mgh:) the fem. of ↓ أَوْسَطُ is وُسْطَى; (Mgh, Msb;) and the pl. masc. أَوَاسِطُ; and pl. fem. وُسَطٌ. (Msb.) Hence, (Msb,) ↓ الإِصْبَعُ الوُسْطَى (S, Msb, K) The middle finger. (Msb.) And ↓ اليَوْمُ الأَوْسَطُ [The middle day]. (Msb.) And ↓ اللَّيْلَةُ الوُسْطَى [The middle night. (Msb.) And ↓ العَشَرَةُ الأَوَاسِطُ, meaning The [ten middle] days. (Msb.) And العَشْرُ

↓ الوُسَطُ, meaning The [ten middle nights: not ↓ العَشْرُ الأَوْسَطُ; for this is a vulgar mistake, into which relaters of traditions have fallen; or it may be a mistake of transcription. (Msb.) and ↓ الصَّلٰوةُ الوُسْطَى, (M, Mgh, &c.,) mentioned in the Kur, [ii. 239,] (M, K,) meaning The middle prayer (Bd, TA) between the other prayers, (Bd,) or between the prayers of the night and the day; (TA;) or the most excellent of them in particular: (Bd:) i. e. the prayer of the afternoon; ('Alee Ibn-Abee-Tálib, I'Ab, and others, Mgh, Bd, K;) because the prophet said, on the day of the Ahzáb, “they have diverted us from الصلوة الوسطى, the prayer of the afternoon: ” (Bd:) or the prayer of daybreak; (also said to be on the authority of 'Alee, Mgh, Bd, K;) because it is between the prayers of the night and the day; (Bd;) for the saying of the prophet mentioned above does not contravene this and other assertions, since what is meant in the trad. is not what is meant in the Kur: (K:) or, (M, K,) accord. to Abu-l-Hasan, (M,) the prayer of Friday; (M, K;) because it is the most excellent of the prayers; (M;) and he who says otherwise errs, unless he trace up the assertion to the prophet: (M, K:) these three opinions are of the strongest authority; (B;) and the first is that which commonly obtains: (Mgh:) or the prayer of noon; (Mgh, Bd, Msb, K;) because it is in the middle of the day: (Bd:) or the prayer of Friday on the day thereof; but on other days the prayer of noon: (K, and also said to be on the authority of 'Alec:) or the prayer of sunset: (Mgh, Bd, K:) or the prayer of nightfall: (Bd, K:) or [the night-prayer called] الوِتْر: (K:) or the prayer of the breaking of the fast: (K:) or the prayer of sacrifices: (K:) or the prayer of the period called the ضُحَى: (K:) or the prayer of the congregation: (K:) or the prayer of fear: (K:) or the prayers of nightfall and daybreak together: (K, and said to be on the authorities of 'Omar and 'Othmán:) or the prayers of daybreak and the afternoon together: (K:) or any of the five prayers; because before it are two prayers and after it are two prayers: (K:) or all the divinely-appointed prayers: (K:) or certain prayers not particularized: (K:) or prayer of middling length, between long and short. (K.) Hence also, شَىْءٌ وَسَطٌ A middling thing; a thing of middle sort or kind; (Msb;) between good and bad; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ أَوْسَطُ: (Msb:) and in like manner it is applied to a male slave, and a female slave, (Msb,) and two male slaves, and two sheep or goats. (Mgh.) And مَا تُطْعِمُونَ ↓ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ

أَهْلِيكُمْ, in the Kur, [v. 91,] Of the middle sort of that which ye give for food to your families, (Mgh, Msb,) between what is prodigal and what is niggardly. (Mgh.) And ↓ النَّمَطُ الأَوْسَطُ The middle class of men: occurring in a saying of 'Alee, cited in full in art. غط. (M.) And عَلِّمْنِى

↓ دِينًا وَسُوطا Teach thou to me a religion of the middle sort: occurring in a saying of an Arab of the desert to El-Hasan, cited in full voce فَرَطَ. (M, TA.) And جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أَمَّةً وَسَطًا, in the Kur, [ii. 137,] (S, Mgh, Msb,) [We have made you to be a nation] conforming, or conformable, to the just mean; just; equitable: (Zj, S, IB, Bd, K:) or good. (Zj, Bd, Msb, K.) And مَرْعًى

وَسَطٌ Choice pasturage. (M.) And رَجُلٌ وَسَطٌ A good man; as also ↓ وَسِيطٌ: (M:) or a man having good grounds of pretension to respect. (TA.) And فِى قَوْمِهِ ↓ فُلَانٌ وَسِيطٌ, (S, K *,) or بَيْنَهُمْ, (as in some copies of the K,) Such a one is the best of his people (↓ أَوْسَطُهُمْ) in race, and the highest of them in station. (S, K.) and الدَّارِ وَالحَسَبِ ↓ فُلَانٌ وَسِيطُ [Such a one is of good quality, or of the best quality, in respect of tribe, and of grounds of pretension to honour]. (Lth.) And هُوَ مِنْ وَسَطِ قَوْمِهِ, and ↓ من أَوْسَطِهِمْ, He is of the best of his people. (Msb.) And in like manner, هُوَ مِنْ وَسَطِ الشَّىْءِ, and ↓ من أَوْسَطِهِ, It is of the best of the thing. (Msb.) And قَالَ

↓ أَوْسَطُهُمْ in the Kur, lxviii. 28, The best of them said: (Jel:) or the most rightly directed, of them, to the truth: (Msb:) or it means ↓ أَوْسَطُهُمْ رَأْيًا [the most remote, of them, from either extreme, in judgment]; or سِنًّا [in age].

(TA.) وَسِيطَةٌ A mean, or means: pl. وَسَائِطُ.]

وَاسِطٌ: see وَسَطٌ, as a subst., and also as an epithet. b2: وَاسِطُ الكُورِ, (Lth, S, K,) or الرَّحْلِ, (ISh, Az, M,) and ↓ وَاسِطَتُهُ, (Lth, M, K,) and ↓ مَوْسِطَتُهُ, (Lh, M, [or perhaps ↓ مُوسِطَتُهُ, corresponding to ↓ مُؤْخِرَتُهُ,]) The fore-part of the camel's saddle: (S, K:) accord. to Lth, (Az, TA,) the part, of the camel's saddle, which is between the تَادِمَة and the آخِرَة; (Az, M, L;) but this is a mistake; (Az, L;) for the واسط of the camel's saddle is one of the شَرْخَانِ, (ISh, Az, L,) which are its two extremities, [or upright pieces of wood,] like the قَرَبُوسُانِ of the horse's saddle, (Az, L,) between which the rider sits; (ISh, Az, L;) it is the extremity which is next to the head of the camel; (Az, L;) the tall forepart next to the breast of the rider, (ISh, Az, L,) against which the breast of the rider sometimes strikes; (TA, in art. نحز;) the آخِرةَ being the extremity which is next to the tail of the camel; (Az, L;) the hinder part of the saddle, which is its tall and broad piece of wood that is against (تُحَاذِى) the head of the rider: (ISh, Az, L:) the former of these is not called واسط as being a middle part between the آخرة and the قادمة, as Lth says; nor has the camel's saddle any [part called] قادمة. (Az, L.) b3: الوَاسِطُ also signifies The piece of wood that is in the middle, between the two pieces called the عِضَادَتَانِ, in the yoke that is upon the neck of a bull which draws a cart or the like. (L in art. عضذ.) وَاسِطَةٌ The jewel that is in the middle of a قِلَادَة [or necklace], which is the best thereof; (S;) the large pearl (دُرَّة) that is in the middle thereof, which is the most precious of the beads thereof.

زول

1 زَالَ, aor. ـُ (K,) and, accord. to the K, also يَزَالُ, which is rare, on the authority of Aboo-'Alee, but this is the aor. of زَالَ like خَافَ, [which has a different meaning from the former verb,] (MF, TA,) inf. n. زَوَالٌ (K) and زُوُولٌ (Lh, K) [which in all its senses except one mentioned below may app. be pronounced also زُؤُولٌ, like حُؤُولٌ for حُوُولٌ, pl. of حَوْلٌ,] and زَوِيلٌ and زَوْلٌ, (K, TA,) the last thus, with fet-h, accord. to a rule of the K, but in some of the copies زُولٌ, with damm, (TA,) and زَوَلَانٌ, (K,) It went away; passed away; departed; removed; shifted; (K, TA;) was, or became, remote, or absent; ceased to be or exist, or came to nought; (TA;) as also ↓ اِزْوَلَّ, inf. n. اِزْوِلَالٌ; (K;) or, accord. to the O, ↓ اِزْوَأَلَّ, like اِطْمَأَنَّ. (TA.) [See also 7.] Hence, الدُّنْيَا وَشِيكَةُ الزَّوَالِ [The world, or worldly enjoyment or good, is quick in passing away, or coming to nought]. (TA.) And زال زَوَالُهُ, and زَوَالُهَا: see زَوَالٌ: and for the former see also زَوِيلٌ. and زال زَوِيلُهُ, and زَوِيلُهَا: see زَوِيلٌ. And زال الشَّىْءُ عَنْ مَكَانِهِ, (S, TA,) or مَوْضِعِهِ, (Msb,) aor. ـُ inf. n. زَوَالٌ (S, Msb, TA) &c., as above, (TA,) The thing removed, went away, [or ceased,] from its place; it left, or quitted, its place.

(TA.) and زال عَنِ الرَّأْىِ, aor. ـُ inf. n. زُوُولٌ, [He turned, or swerved, from the opinion, or judgment, or sentiment.] (Lh, TA.) And زال alone, aor. ـُ He, or it, quitted his, or its, place.

[Said in the TA to be tropical; but I see not why.]) b2: Hence, زالت الشَّمْسُ, inf. n. زَوَالٌ and زُوُولٌ, without ء, (K,) as Th says, (TA,) and زِيَالٌ and زَوَلَانٌ, (tropical:) The sun declined from the meridian. (K, TA.) [And sometimes it signifies (assumed tropical:) The sun set: see 1 in art. دلك.] b3: And hence, but not with زُوُولٌ for an inf. n. in the senses expl. in this sentence and the next following it, (TA,) زال النَّهَارُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. زَوَالٌ (TA) [and app. زِيَالٌ and زَوَلَانٌ], (tropical:) (tropical:) The day became advanced, the sun being somewhat high; syn. اِرْتَفَعَ: (K, TA:) or, as some say, went away; or departed.

(K, * TA.) b4: زال ظعنهم, [thus in the TK (ed. of Boolák), i. e. ظَعْنُهُمْ, thus in the K, and thus only, the verb being indicated by a preceding phrase; in the TA زالت ظعنهم. which is an evident mistranscription;] inf. n. زَيْلُولَةٌ, (K,) like قَيْلُولَةٌ [an inf. n. of قَالَ, aor. ـِ but more properly compared to دَيْمُومَةٌ, an inf. n. of دَامَ, aor. ـُ (TA;) [a phrase which may be rendered Their journeying ceased for a while;] expl. as meaning اِئْتَوَوْا مَكَانَهُمْ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُمْ [i. e. they abode in their place: then an opinion occurred to them different from their former opinion, so that it turned them therefrom, inducing them to remove]: (K:) in the K is added عَنْهُ; but this should be omitted: the passage is taken from the M; in which عَنْهُ refers to Lh as the authority. (TA.) b5: زال [having for its inf. n., app., زَوَالٌ and زَوِيلٌ and زَوْلٌ (see the first of these below)] signifies also It moved; or was, or became, in a state of motion, commotion, or agitation; syn. تَحَرَّكَ: so in the saying, رَأَيْتُ شَبَحًا ثُمَّ زَالَ [I saw a bodily form or figure: then it moved, &c.]. (TA.) And one says, هُوَ يَزُولُ فِىالنَّاسِ, meaning He moves much among men, or the people, and does not remain still, or stationary. (TA.) b6: زَالَتْ لَهُ

And زِيلَ زَوِيلُهُ and زَوِيلُهَا and زَوَالُهُ: see زَوِيلٌ: and for the first, see also زَوَالٌ. b2: And زالهُ He separated himself from him; (K;) as also زايلهُ.

(K.) [Accord. to the TA, it seems to be used properly in relation to real things, and tropically in relation to ideal things. One says, زاول الصَّيْدَ He strove to gain possession of, or to catch, i. e. he hunted, the animals of the chase. (See طَرَدَ.)] And زَاوَلْتُهُ عَنِ الأَمْرُ [I strove with him to avert him, or to turn him back, from the affair]. (S, in art. جحس.) Zuheyr says, فَبِتْنَا وُقُوفًا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ جَوَادِنَا يُزَاوِلُنَا عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَنُزَاوِلُهْ

[And we passed the night standing at the head of our courser, he striving with us to repel us from himself, and we striving with him to master him]. (S.) And a man said to another, who upbraided him with cowardice, وَاللّٰهُ مَا كُنْتُ جَبَانًا وَلٰكِنِّى

(S.) One says also, يُزَاوِلُ حَاجَةً لَهُ i. e. يُحَاوِلُهَا (tropical:) [He seeks to accomplish a thing that is an object of want to him; or does so by artful, or skilful, management]: a tropical phrase.

(AHeyth, O, TA.) Q. Q. 4 اِزْوَأَلَّ: see 1, first sentence.

(TA.) b2: Courageous; (K, TA;) in consequence of whose courage, men are abashed (يَتَزَايَلُوا [as though زَوْلٌ in this sense belonged to art. زيل]).

One says, هٰذَا زَوْلٌ مِنَ الأَزْوَالِ (tropical:) This is a wonder of the wonders. (TA.) And one says also, [using it as an epithet,] سَيْرٌ زَوْلٌ (assumed tropical:) A journeying, or pace, wonderful in respect of its quickness and briskness or lightness: and شَتْوَةٌ زَوْلَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A winter, or winters, wonderful in respect of the severity and cold thereof.

(K.) b3: (assumed tropical:) A form, or figure, that appears in the night [and by which one is frightened: see مُزَاوَلٌ]. (TA.) (tropical:) A form, or figure, of a man or some other thing, that one sees from a distance: or a person: syn. شَخْصٌ: (K, TA:) as also ↓ زَائِلَةٌ: see 1, near the end of the paragraph. (TA.) A4: The فَرْج [i. e. the anterior pudendum, or the pudenda,] of a man. (K.) One says, كَشَفَ زَوْلَهُ [He uncovered his فرج]. (TK.) A5: And A hawk. (K.) زَوَالٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ زَوِيلٌ and ↓ زَوْلٌ (K) are inf. ns. of زَالَ [q. v.]. (S, Msb, K.) b2: and all signify Motion, commotion, or agitation. (TA in explanation of the first and last, and K in explanation of the second.) [Hence,] ↓ زَالَ زَوَالُهُ, or زَوَالَهُ ↓ زَالَ, (accord. to different copies of the K,) or اللّٰهُ زَوَالَهُ ↓ زَالَ, (S in art. زيل, and TA,) and اللّٰهُ زَوَالَهُ ↓ أَزَالَ, (S in art. زيل, and K and TA,) are imprecations of destruction, or perdition, or death, (S, K,) and trial, or affliction, upon him to whom they relate: (S:) or such are the [second and] third and fourth of these phrases: but the first is a prayer for one's continuance where he is, [or his continuance in life; lit.] meaning May his motion cease; [and hence, may he continue where he is, or continue in life:] and, as expl. by ISk, the [second and] third and fourth [lit.] signify May [He i. e.] God cause his motion to cease; [and hence, may He, or God, put an end to his life;] these phrases being similar to the saying أَسْكَتَ اللّٰهُ نَامَّتَهُ. (TA.) [Thus all four have virtually the same lit. signification. And the first has also another meaning; as will be seen below.] El-Aashà says, هٰذَا النَّهَارُ بَدَا لَهَا مِنْ هَمِّهَا زَوَالَهَا ↓ مَا بَالُهَا بِاللَّيْلِ زَالَ (S, TA,) [app. meaning This is the day-time: an opinion has arisen in her mind such as to turn her from her former opinion and induce her to absent herself, (بَدَآءٌ, I suppose, being understood after بَدَا لَهَا, like as it is after بَدَا لَهُمْ in the Kur xii. 35,) in consequence of her anxiety: what will be her case in the night? may it (her phantom) be absent, like as she is absent: for] the meaning is said to be, زَالَ الخَيَالُ زَوَالَهَا: IAar says, he disliked the phantom only because it roused his desire: or [زَالَ may be here syn. with

أَزَالَ, so that] the meaning may be اللّٰهُ زَوَالَهَا ↓ أَزَالَ [may God make her motion to cease]; and this is corroborated by the reading of AA, زَوَالُهَا, in the nom. case, [i. e. زَوَالُهَا ↓ زَالَ may her motion cease;] which makes this an instance of [the license termed] الإِقْوَآء: this, he says, is an old proverbial phrase of the Arabs, and El-Aashà

has used it as he heard it: others than AA read [زَوَالَهَا,] in the accus. case, without إِقْوَآء, holding the meaning to be, may her phantom be absent from us in the night like as she herself is absent in the day-time. (TA.) ↓ زَوِيلُهُ ↓ زِيلَ, likewise, means His motion ceased, or may his motion cease: or, accord. to Z, he became fixed, or motionless, from fear; or may he become so. (TA in art. زيل.) [See also another rendering of this phrase in the next paragraph.] One says also, وَالعَوِيلُ ↓ أَخَذَهُ الزَّوِيلُ Commotion, or agitation, (K, TA,) and disquietude of mind, (TA,) and wailing, or raising of the voice in weeping, overcame him. (K, TA.) A2: See also the next paragraph, in three places.

زَوِيلٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.

A2: Also The side; syn. جَانِبٌ; and so ↓ زَوَالٌ: thus in the sayings, زَوِيلُهُ ↓ زَالَ and ↓ زَوَالُهُ ↓ زَالَ, meaning [app. His side became in a state of commotion, or it quivered,] by reason of fright: (K:) [or] زَوِيلٌ signifies the heart: so in the saying, زَوِيلُهُ ↓ زِيلَ [His heart became removed from its place]: (S:) a prov., applied to one whom an event that has disquieted him has befallen: as also ↓ زَوَالُهُ ↓ زِيلَ: (Meyd:) [see also two other renderings of the former phrase in the next preceding paragraph:] Dhu-r-Rummeh says, describing the egg of an ostrich, وَيَيْضَآءُ لَا تَنْحَاشُ مِنَّا وَأُمُّهَا مِنَّا زَوِيلُهَا ↓ إِذَا مَا رَأَتْنَا زِيلَ meaning زِيلَ قَلْبُهَا مِنَ الفَزَعِ [i. e. And a white thing (the egg which he is describing) will not take fright, and flee from us, or will not shrink from us, while its mother, when she sees us, her heart becomes removed from its place by fright in consequence of the approach of us]: (S in art. زيل, and Meyd:) or, as some relate it, مِنَّا ↓ زَالَ زَوِيلُهَا [which means her heart quits its place &c.]: (TA:) and the former reading may mean the same as this. (IB, TA in art. زيل.) زَوَّالٌ Having much زَوْل, i. e. motion. (TA.) b2: Accord. to J, it occurs in an أُرْجُوزَة, cited by AA, as meaning That moves much in his gait, but traverses a short space: but the right word in this case is زَوَّاك, as is shown by the rhyme. (IB, K.) زويلى, with damm, [app. زُوَّيْلَى, like قُبَّيْطَى

&c., for, as it is not said to be a dim., I know no other form of word with which to compare it,] A thing like a ladle, belonging to sailors. (TA.) زَائِلٌ [Going away; passing away; departing; transient; shifting; becoming remote, or absent; ceasing to be or exist; nonexistent: &c.: part. n. of زَالَ, q. v.]. b2: [Hence,] لَيْلٌ زَائِلُ النُّجُومِ [properly A starless night, or night of which the stars are absent: but expl. as meaning] (assumed tropical:) a long night. (Z, TA.) b3: زَالَ زَائِلُ الظِّلِّ: see 1.

زَائِلَةٌ [from زَائِلٌ, the ة being affixed to transfer the word from the category of epithets to that of substantives,] Whatever has a soul, (K, TA,) of animals; that moves (يَزُولُ) from its place: (TA:) or anything that moves; (K, TA;) that does not remain fixed in its place; applied to a man and to other things. (TA.) b2: زَوَائِلُ is its pl.: (TA:) and signifies [particularly] Animals of the chase. (K, TA.) b3: And [hence,] (tropical:) Women. (O, K, TA.) One says رَجُلٌ رَامِى الزَّوَائِلِ (assumed tropical:) A man knowing in respect of the diseases, or faults, (أَدْوَآء,) of women: (O:) or (tropical:) skilful in the making of women to incline to him: whence the saying of Ibn-Meiyádeh, وَكُنْتُ امْرَأً أَرْمِى الزَّوَائِلَ مَرَّةً

فَأَصْبَحْتُ قَدْ وَدَعْتُ رَمْىَ الزَّوَائِلِ (tropical:) [And I was a man having the art of making women to incline to me, once; but I have become such that I have relinquished the art of making women to incline to me]: this was a man who used to beguile women in his time of youthful vigour by his beauty; but when he became hoary and aged, no woman inclined to him. (TA.) b4: Also (tropical:) The stars: (K, TA:) because of their motion from the east and the west in their revolving. (TA.) b5: See also 1, near the end of the paragraph; and زَوْلٌ, last sentence but three.

زَوْلٌ أَزْوَلُ (S, * TA) has an intensive signification [i. e. (assumed tropical:) A great wonder; or a very wonderful thing]: (TA:) [or a wonderful event that happens to one, preventing his fleeing;] accord. to Abu-sSemh, أَزْوَلُ denotes the happening to one of an event such as prevents him from fleeing. (IB, TA.) مِزْوَلَةٌ A certain instrument pertaining to astronomers, by means of which is known the declining of the sun from the meridian: [a sun-dial: used in this sense in the present day:] a vulgar term: pl. مَزَاوِلُ. (TA.) مُزَاوَلٌ pass. part. n. of 3: one says, مَا زَالَ هٰذَا الأَمْرُ مُزَاوَلًا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ (assumed tropical:) [This affair ceased not to be striven, or sought, to be accomplished by means of their hands]. (TA.) A2: Also Frightened by a زَوْل, i. e. a form, or figure, appearing in the night. (TA.)

فقد

1 فَقَدَهُ, (S, A, MA, Mgh, O, L, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, A, O, &c.,) inf. n. فَقْدٌ and فِقْدَانٌ (S, MA, O, L, Msb, K) and فُقْدَانٌ (S, O, F) and فُقُودٌ; (IDrd, O, L, K;) and ↓ افتقدهُ; (S, A, MA, Mgh, O;) He found it not, (L, TA,) lost it, (MA, PS, &c.,) saw it not, (JK in explanation of the latter verb,) [missed, or failed of finding or seeing, it,] it was, or became, absent from him, (Mgh,) or he had it not, was destitute of it, was without it, lacked it, or wanted it, syn. عَدِمَهُ; (Msb, L, K;) but accord. to Er-Rághib, الفَقْدُ has a more special signification than العَدَمُ, this latter being the contr. of الوُجُودُ; (TA;) [whereas]

الفَقْدُ [as inf. n. of فُقِدَ, though often used as meaning the being non-existent, properly] signifies the thing's being absent from the range of perception by sense so that its place is not known. (Bd in xii. 71.) [فُقِدَ signifies It was not found, was lost, was not seen, &c.] It is related of Abu-dDardà that he said, يَفْقِدْ ↓ مَنْ يَتَفَقَّدْ, [lit. He who seeks will not find,] meaning he who seeks after good in mankind will not find it; for he saw good to be rare in mankind: or he who seeks to acquaint himself with the circumstances of men will not find what will please him. (L.) 4 أَفْقَدَهُ اللّٰهُ إِيَّاهُ God caused him to lose, or fail of finding, him, or it. (L, K.) One says, أَفْقَدَكَ اللّٰهُ كُلَّ جَمِيمٍ [May God cause thee to lose every relation, or loved and loving relation]. (A.) [Or]

الإِفْقَادُ is not of established authority: as to the saying الجُنُونُ يُفْقِدُ شَهْوَةَ الجِمَاعِ [meaning Insanity causes to lose, or annuls, the desire of coïtus], the correct word is يُعْدِمُ or يُزِيلُ. (Mgh.) 5 تفقّدهُ He sought it, or sought for it or after it; or did so leisurely or repeatedly; (A, * Mgh, L;) as also ↓ افتقدهُ: (Mgh, L:) or he sought it, or sought for it or after it, it being absent from him; (S, O, L, Msb, K;) as also ↓ افتقدهُ: (K:) or he sought, or sought leisurely or repeatedly, to obtain knowledge of it, having lost it: so accord. to Er-Rághib and many others; but this expression and تعَهَّدَهُ are used, by some, each in the place of the other, and the latter, accord. to Er-Rághib and many others, [properly] signifies he sought, or sought leisurely or repeatedly, to obtain knowledge of it, having known it before.

(TA.) b4: And i. q. عَلَمٌ [as meaning A banner, or standard; properly, in the form of a cross]: (O, K:) En-Nábighah Edh-Dhubyánee is said to have thus called the عَلَم because there was upon it a صَلِيب [i. e. a cross]; for he was a Christian.

صَالِحَةً [I have purchased to-day a good purchase]. (TA.) And البَيْعُ صَفْقَةٌ أَوْ خِيَارٌ Selling is decisive or with the option of returning. (Mgh.) And it is said in a trad. (of Ibn-Mes'ood, TA), صَفْقَتَانِ فِى صَفْقَةٍ رِبًا i. e. Two bargains in a [single] bargain [are an unlawful gain]: this is of two kinds: one is the seller's saying to the buyer, “I sell to thee such a thing for a hundred dirhems on the condition of thy buying of me this garment, or piece of cloth, for such a sum: ” the other kind is his saying, “I sell to thee this garment, or piece of cloth, for twenty dirhems on the condition of thy selling to me thy commodity for ten dirhems. ” (O.) And it is said in another trad., إِنَّ أَكْبَرَ الكَبَائِرِ أَنْ تُقَاتِلَ أَهْلَ صَفْقَتِكَ i. e.

(Fr, O, K.) b2: [In the TA, in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb describing a bow, to which it seems to be there applied as an epithet, it is expl. as signifying راجعة; but I think that this is a mistranscription for رَاجِفَةٌ, meaning Quivering. b3: Freytag has assigned to it three explanations which belong to صِفَاقٌ.]
