تا

تَا fem. of ذَا; (M;) i. q. ذِهْ [This and that]; (T;) a noun of indication, denoting that which is female or feminine; like ذَا (S, K) applied to that which is male or masculine; (S;) and you say also تِهْ, like ذِهْ: (S, K:) the dual is تَانِ: and the pl., أُولَآءِ. (S, K.) En-Nábighah [Edh-Dhubyánee] says, (T, S,) excusing himself to En-Noamán [Aboo-Káboos], whom he had satirized, (TA,) هَا إِنَّ تَا عِذْرَةٌ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ نَفَعَتْ فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَهَا قَدْ تَاهَ فِى البَلَدِ [Now verily this is an excuse: if it profit not, then verily its author has lost his way in the desert, or in the waterless desert]: (T, S: but in the latter, لا is put in the place of لم:) تا here points to the قَصِيدَة [or ode]; and عذرة is a subst from اِعْتِذَارٌ; and تاه means تَحَيَّرَ; and البلد means المَفَازَة. (TA.) The dim. of تَا is تَيَّا, (T, S, M, K,) which is anomalous, like ذَيَّا the dim. of ذَا, &c. (I'Ak p. 343. [Much has been written respecting the formation of this dim. to reduce it to something like rule, but I pass it over as, in my opinion, unprofitable and unsatisfactory; and only refer to what is said respecting the duals أُلَيَّا and أُلَيَّآءِ in art. الى. See an ex. voce مِرَّةٌ.] b2: هَا is prefixed to it (T, S, K) [as an inceptive particle] to give notice of what is about to be said, (S,) so that one says هَاتَا [meaning This], (T, S, K,) as in هَاتَا فُلَانَةُ [This is such a woman]; (T;) and [in the dual] هَاتَانِ; and [in the pl.]

هٰؤُلَآءِ: and the dim. is هَاتَيَّا. (S.) b3: When you use it in addressing another person, you add to it ك [as a particle of allocution], and say تَاكَ (S, K) and تِيكَ and تِلْكَ (T, S, K) and تَلْكَ, which is a bad dial. var., (S, K,) and تَالِكَ, (T, S,) which is the worst of these: (T:) [all meaning That:] the dual is تَانِكَ and تَانِّكَ, the latter with tesh-deed, (S, K, [but in some copies of the S, only the latter is mentioned,]) and تَالِكَ [which, like تَانِّكَ, is dual of تِلْكَ or تَلْكَ, which are contractions of تَالِكَ; these two duals being for تَانِلِكَ, the original, but unused, form]: (K:) the pl. is أُولٰئِكَ [or أُولَآئِكَ] and أُولَاكَ and أُولَالِكَ [respecting all of which see أُلَى, in art. الى]: (S, K:) and the dim. is تَيَّاكَ and تَيَّالِكَ: (K: [in the TA, the latter is erroneously written تَيّانِكَ:]) the ك relates to the person or persons whom you address, masc. and fem. and dual and pl.: [but in addressing a female, you may say تَاكِ &c.; in addressing two persons, تَاكُمَا &c.; in addressing more than two males, تَاكُمْ &c.; and in addressing more than two females, تَاكُنَّ &c.:] what precedes the ك relates to the person [or thing] indicated, masc. and fem. and dual and pl. (S.) b4: هَا is also prefixed to تِيكَ and تَاكَ, so that one says, هَاتِيكَ هِنْدُ and هَاتَاكَ هِنْدُ [This, or that, is Hind]. (S, K. *) Abu-n-Nejm says, جِئْنَا نُحَيِّيكَ وَنَسْتَجْدِيكَا فَافْعَلْ بِنَا هَاتَاكَ أَوْ هَاتِيكَا meaning [We have come saluting thee and seeking of thee a gift: then do thou to us] this or that: [give us] a salutation or a gift. (S.) The هَا that is used to give notice of what is about to be said is not prefixed to تلك because the ل is made a substitute for that ها: (S, TA:) or, as IB says, they do not prefix that ها to ذٰلِكَ and تِلْكَ because the ل denotes the remoteness of that which is indicated and the ها denotes its nearness, so that the two are incompatible. (TA.) A2: تَا and تآءٌ Names of the letter ت: see that letter, and see arts. توأ and تى.

A3: تَا and تَأَا or تَآ for تَشَآء: see (near its end) art. ا.

ذا

ذَا is said by Aboo-'Alee to be originally ذَىْ; the ى, though quiescent, being changed into ا: (M:) or it is originally ذَيَى or ذَوَى; the final radical letter being elided: some say that the original medial radical letter is ى because it has been heard to be pronounced with imáleh [and so it is now pronounced in Egypt]; but others say that it is و, and this is the more agreeable with analogy. (Msb.) It is a noun of indication, [properly meaning This, but sometimes, when repeated, better rendered that,] relating to an object of the masc. gender, (S, M, K,) such as is near: (I'Ak p. 36:) or it relates to what is distant [accord. to some, and therefore should always be rendered that]; and هٰذَا, [which see in what follows,] to what is near: (K in art. هَا: [but the former is generally held to relate to what is near, like the latter:]) or it is a noun denoting anything indicated that is seen by the speaker and the person addressed: the noun in it is ذَ, or ذ alone: and it is a noun of which the signification is vague and unknown until it is explained by what follows it, as when you say ذَا الرَّجُلُ [This man], and ذَا الفَرَسَ [This horse]: and the nom. and accus. and gen. are all alike: (T:) the fem. is ذِى (T, S, M, K, but omitted in the CK) and ذِهْ, (S, M, K, but omitted in the CK,) the latter used in the case of a pause, (S,) with a quiescent ه, which is a substitute for the ى, not a sign of the fem. gender, (S, M,) as it is in طَلْحَهْ and حَمْزَهْ, in which it is changed into ة when followed by a conjunctive alif, for in this case the ه in ذِه remains unchanged [but is meksoorah, as it is also in other cases of connexion with a following word]; and one says also ذهِى; (M;) and تَا and تِهْ: (S and K &c. in art. تا:) for the dual you say ذَانِ and تَانِ; (M;) ذَانِ is the dual form of ذَا (T, S) [and تَانِ is that of تَا used in the place of ذِى]; i. e., you indicate the masc. dual by ذَانِ in the nom. case, and ذَيْنِ in the accus. and gen.; and the fem. dual you indicate by تَانِ in the nom. case, and تَيْنِ in the accus. and gen.: (I'Ak p. 36:) the pl. is أُلَآءِ [or أُلَآءِ] (T, S, and I'Ak ib.) in the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, (I'Ak,) and أُولَى [or أُلَى] (T, I'Ak) in the dial. of Temeem; each both masc. and fem. (I'Ak ib. [See art. الى.]) You say, ذَا أَخُوكَ [This is thy brother]: and ذِىأُخْتُكَ [This is thy sister]: (T:) and لَاآتِيكَ فِى ذِى السَّنَةِ [I will not come to thee in this year]; like as you say فى هٰذِهِ السَّنَةِ and فى هٰذِى السَّنَةِ; not فى ذَا السَّنَةِ, because ذا is always masc. (As, T.) And you say, ذَانِ أَخَوَاكَ [These two are thy two brothers]: and تَانِ أُخْتَاكَ [These two are thy two sisters]. (T.) and أُولَآءِ إِخْوَتُكَ [These are thy brothers]: and أُولَآءِ

أَخَوَاتُكَ [These are thy sisters]: thus making no difference between the masc. and the fem. in the pl. (T.) b2: The هَا that is used to give notice, to a person addressed, of something about to be said to him, is prefixed to ذَا [and to ذِى &c.], (T, S, M, K,) and is a particle without any meaning but inception: (T:) thus you say هٰذَا, (T, S, M,) and some say هٰذَاا, adding another ا; (Ks, T;) fem.

هٰذِى, (T, S, M,) and [more commonly] هٰذِهْ in the case of a pause, (M,) and هٰذِهِ in other cases, (T, S,) and هَاتَا, and some say هٰذَاتِ, but this is unusual and disapproved: (T:) dual هٰذَانِ for the masc., and هَاتَانِ for the fem.; (T;) said by IJ to be not properly duals, but nouns formed to denote duals; (M;) and many of the Arabs say هٰذَانِّ; (T;) some, also, make هٰذَانِ indecl., like the sing. ذَا, reading [in the Kur xx. 66] إِنَّ هٰذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ [Verily these two are enchanters], and it has been said that this is of the dial. of Belhárith [or Benu-l-Hárith] Ibn-Kaab; but others make it decl., reading إِنَّ هٰذَايْنِ لَسَاحِرَانِ: (S, TA: [see, however, what has been said respecting this phrase voce إِنَّ:]) the pl. is هٰؤُلَا in the dial. of Temeem, with a quiescent ا; and هٰؤُلَآءِ in the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, with medd and hemz and khafd; and هٰؤُلَآءٍ in the dial. of Benoo-'Okeyl, with medd and hemz and tenween. (Az, T.) The Arabs also say, لَا هَا اللّٰهِ ذَا, introducing the name of God between هَا and ذَا; meaning No, by God; this is [my oath, or] that by which I swear. (T.) In the following verse, of Jemeel, وَأَتَى صَوَاحِبُهَا فَقُلْنَ هٰذَا الَّذِى

مَنَحَ المَوَدَّةَ غَيْرَنَا وَجَفَانَا [it is said that] هَذَا is for أَذَا, (M,) i. e., ه is here substituted for the interrogative hemzeh (S * and K in art. ها) [so that the meaning is, And her female companions came, and said, Is this he who gave love to other than us, and treated us unkindly?]: or, as some assert, هَذَا is here used for هٰذَا, the ا being suppressed for the sake of the measure. (El-Bedr El-Karáfee, TA in art. ها.) b3: One says also ذَاكَ, (T, S, M, K,) affixing to ذَا the ك of allocution, [q. v., meaning That,] relating to an object that is distant, (T, *, S, and I'Ak p. 36,) or, accord. to general opinion, to that which occupies a middle place between the near and the distant, (I'Ak pp. 36 and 37,) and this ك has no place in desinential syntax; (S, and I'Ak p. 36;) it does not occupy the place of a gen. nor of an accus., but is only affixed to ذا to denote the distance of ذا from the person addressed: (T:) for the fem. you say تِيكَ (T, S) and تَاكَ; (S and K in art. تا, q. v.;) but not ذِيكَ, for this is wrong, (T, S,) and is used only by the vulgar: (T:) for the dual you say ذَانِكَ (T, S) and ذَيْنِكَ, as in the phrases جَآءَنِى ذَانِكَ الرَّجُلَانِ [Those two men came to me] and رَأَيْتُ ذَيْنُكَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ, [I saw those two men]; (S;) and some say ذَانِّكَ, with teshdeed, (T, S,) [accord. to J] for the purpose of corroboration, and to add to the letters of the noun, (S,) but [accord. to others] this is dual of ذٰلِكَ, [which see in what follows,] the second ن being a substitute for the ل; (T on the authority of Zj and others;) and some say تَانِّكَ also, with tesh-deed, (T, S,) as well as تَانِكَ: (T in this art., and S and K in art. تا, but there omitted in some copies of the S:) the pl. is [أُولَاكَ and] أُولٰئِكَ. (T, S.) هَا is also prefixed to ذَاكَ; so that you say, هٰذَاكَ زَيْدٌ [That is Zeyd]: (S, TA:) and in like manner, for the fem., you say هَاتِيكَ and هَاتَاكَ: (S and K in art. تا:) but it is not prefixed [to the dual nor] to أُولٰئِكَ. (S.) b4: You also add ل in ذَاكَ, (T, S, M, K,) as a corroborative; (TA;) so that you say ذٰلِكَ, [meaning That,] (T, S, M, K,) relating to an object that is distant, by common consent; (I'Ak pp. 36 and 37;) or hemzeh, saying ذَائِكَ, (K,) but some say that this is a mispronunciation: (TA in art. ذوى:) for the fem. you say تِلْكَ and تَالِكَ: the dual of ذٰلِكَ is ذَانِّكَ, mentioned above; and that of the fem. is ثَانِّكَ: (T: [and in the K in art. تا, تَالِكَ is also mentioned as a dual, as well as a sing.:]) and the pl. is أُولَالِكَ. (S and M and K voce أُولَى or أُلَى or أُلَا. [See art. الى.]) هَا is not prefixed to ذٰلِكَ (S) nor to تِلْكَ [nor to أُولَالِكَ] because, as IB says, the ل denotes the remoteness of that which is indicated and the ها denotes its nearness, so that the two are incompatible. (TA in art. تا.) b5: In the saying in the Kur [ii. 256, the Verse of the Throne], مَنْ ذَا الَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ, (T, TA,) accord. to Th and Mbr, (TA,) هٰذَا is syn. with ذا [so that the meaning is, Who is this that shall intercede with Him but by his permission?]: (T, TA:) or it may be here redundant [so that the meaning is, Who is he that &c.?]. (Kull.) b6: It is sometimes syn. with اَلَّذِى. (T, S, M.) So in the saying, مَا ذَا رَأَيْتَ [What is it that thou sawest?]; to which one may answer, مَتَاعٌ حَسَنٌ [A goodly commodity]. (Sb, S.) and so in the Kur [ii. 220 (erroneously stated as 216 in Lane's original)], وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنْفِقُونَ[And they ask thee what amount of their property is it that they shall expend in alms]; (T, M, TA;) accord. to those who make the reply to be in the nom. case; for this shows that ما is [virtually] in the nom. case as an inchoative, and ذا is its enunciative, and ينفقون is the complement of ذا; and that ما and ذا are not to be regarded as one word: [or] this is the preferable way of explanation in the opinion of Sb, though he allowed the other way, [that of regarding ما and ذا as one word, together constituting an inchoative, and ينفقون as its enunciative, (see Ham p. 521,)] with [the reply in] the nom. case: (M:) and هٰذَا, also, is used in the same sense: (TA:) so too ذا in مَا ذَا هُوَ and مَنْ ذَا هُوَ may be considered as syn. with الذى; but it is preferable to regard it as redundant. (Kull.) b7: It is [said to be] redundant also in other instances: for ex., in the trad. of Jereer, as related by Aboo-'Amr Ez-Záhid, who says that it is so in this instance: يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ذِى يَمَنٍ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَسْحَةٌ مِنْ ذِى مُلْكٍ

[There will come to you a man from El-Yemen, having upon his face an indication of dominion]. (TA. [But this evidently belongs to art. ذُو; in which see a similar ex. (أَتَيْنَا ذَا يَمَنٍ). See also other exs. there.]) b8: [كَذَا lit. means Like this: and hence, thus: as also هٰكَذَا. b9: It is also often used as one word, and, as such, is made the complement of a prefixed noun; as in سَنَةَ كَذَا and فِى سَنَةِ كَذَا In such a year. See also art. كَذَا: and see the letter ك.] b10: هٰذَا is sometimes used to express contempt, and mean estimation; as in the saying of 'Áïsheh respecting 'Abd-Allah Ibn-'Amr Ibn-'Abbás, يَا عَجَبًا لِابْنِ عَمْرٍو هٰذَا [O wonder (meaning how I wonder) at Ibn-'Amr, this fellow!]. (Kitáb el-Miftáh, cited in De Sacy's “ Gram. Ar.,” 2nd ed., i. 442.) [يَا هٰذَا often occurs as addressed to one who is held in mean estimation: it is like the Greek ὦ οὗτος, and virtually like the vulgar Arabic expression يَا أَنْتَ, and the Latin heus tu; agreeably with which it may be rendered O thou; meaning O thou fellow; an appellation denoting mean estimation being understood: in the contrary case, one says يَا فَتَى.

See also, in what follows, a usage of ذَاكَ and ذٰلِكَ. b11: هٰذَا in a letter and the like is introduced when the writer breaks off, turning to a new subject; and means “ This is all that I had to say on the subject to which, it relates: ” what follows it is commenced with the conjunction وَ.] b12: One says, لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ [and لَيْسَ بِذٰلِكَ], meaning It is not approved: for, [like as a person held in mean estimation is indicated by هٰذَا, which denotes a thing that is near, so,] on account of its high degree of estimation, a thing that is approved is indicated by that whereby one indicates a thing that is remote. (Kull voce ليس.) [See also what next follows.] b13: ذٰلِكَ الكِتَابُ in the Kur ii. 1 is said by Zj to mean هٰذَا الكِتَابُ [This book]: but others say that ذلك is here used because the book is remote [from others] in respect of highness and greatness of rank. (TA.) b14: كَذٰلِكَ [lit. Like that, often means so, or in like manner: and b15: ] Let that suffice [thee or] you. (TA in art. ذعر, from a trad.) b16: The dim. of ذَا is ذَيَّا: (T, S, M:) you form no dim. of the fem. ذِى, using in its stead that of تَا, (S,) which is تَيَّا: (T:) the dim. of the dual [ذَانِ] is ذَيَّانِ: (S:) and that of [the pl.] أُولَآءِ [and أُولَى] is أُولَيَّآءِ [and أُولَيَّا]: (T:) b17: that of هٰذَا is ذَيَّا, like that of ذَا; [and you may say هٰذَيَّا also; for] that of هٰؤُلَآءِ is هٰؤُلَيَّآءِ: (T:) b18: that of ذَاكَ is ذَيَّاكَ: (S, K: *) and that of تَاكَ is تَيَّاكَ: (K in art. تا:) b19: that of ذٰلِكَ is ذَيَّالِكَ: (S, K: *) and that of تِلْكَ is تَيَّالِكَ. (S.) A rájiz says, أَوْ تَحْلِفِى بِرَبِّكَ العَلِىِّ

إِنِّى أَبُو ذَيَّالِكِ الصَّبِىِّ [Or thou shalt swear by thy Lord, the High, that I am the father of that little child]: (S, TA:) he was an Arab who came from a journey, and found that his wife had given birth to a boy whom he disacknowledged. (TA.) A2: ذَا is also the accus. case of ذُو, q. v.

حص

1 حَصَّهُ, aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. حَصٌّ, (A, K,) He, or it, shaved it off; namely, hair. (A, K, TA.) You say also, حَصَّتِ البّيْضَةُ رَأْسَهُ (S, A) [The helmet rubbed off his hair: or] rendered his hair scanty. (S.) b2: He cut off from it, either with the مَشَارَة, [a word for which I do not find any apposite meaning, and which is perhaps a mistranscription,] or with the shears: (Er-Rághib, as quoted in the TA:) whence, accord. to some, the word حِصَّةٌ. (TA.) b3: حَصُّوا بَيْنَهُمْ رَحِمًا (tropical:) They cut, or severed, a tie of relationship between them. (TA.) b4: جَآءَتْ سَنَةٌ فَحَصَّتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ (tropical:) [There came a dearth, or drought, or a year of drought, and] it did away with, or consumed, or destroyed, everything. (TA, from a trad.) b5: حَصَّ الجَلِيدُ النَّبْتَ (assumed tropical:) The hoar-frost, or rime, nipped, shrunk, shrivelled, or blasted, (lit. burned, أَحْرَقَ, q. v.,) the plant, or plants, or herbage: (AHn:) a dial. var. of حَسَّ, q. v. (TA.) A2: حَصَّ, quasi-pass. of حَصَّهُ in the first of the senses explained above: see 7, in two places.

(Msb.) A4: حَصَّ, aor. ـُ [contr. to rule, by which it should be حَصِّ, the verb being intrans., unless the sec. Pers\. pret. be حَصُصْتَ,] inf. n. حَصٌّ, (S, TA,) with which حُصَاصٌ, q. v., is syn., (S, &c.,) He ran vehemently and quickly: (S, TA:) and ↓ حَصْحَصَ, (TA,) inf. n. حَصْحَصَةٌ, (S, K,) he was quick (S, K, TA) in going, (TA,) and in journeying or pace. (S, TA.) A5: حَصَّ is also syn. with ↓ حَصْحَصَ in all its meanings; like كَبَّ and كَبْكَبَ, and كَفَّ and كَفْكَفَ. (Er-Rághib.) 2 حَصَّّ see R. Q. 1, in two places.3 حَاصَصْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ I divided with him the thing, each of us allotting to himself his portion. (TA.) See also 6.4 أَحْصَصْتُهُ I gave him his portion, lot, or share: (S, Msb, K:) or his portion, lot, or share, of food and beverage &c. (TA.) And احصصت القَوْمَ I gave the company of men their portions, lots, or shares. (A.) 6 تحاصّوا They (namely, creditors,) divided property among themselves in portions, lots, or shares; (S, * Mgh, Msb, K; *) as also ↓ حاصّوا, (K,) inf. n. مُحَاصَّةٌ (S, TA) and حِصَاصٌ; (TA;) every one of them taking his portion. (TA.) 7 انحصّ quasi-pass. of حَصَّهُ in the first of the senses explained above; It (hair) became shaven off; as also ↓ حَصَّ, [sec. Pers\., app., حَصِصْتَ, and aor. ـَ inf. n. حَصِيصٌ [and app. حَصَصٌ, q. v. infrà]; or, as some say, حص [perhaps a mistake for حَصَصٌ or حَصِيصٌ] signifies the hair's going from the head by shaving or by disease: (TA:) and the former verb, it (the hair) went from the head; (K, TA;) became removed, or stripped off; (TA;) fell off, and became scattered, by degrees; (S, TA;) as also ↓ حَصَّ: (TA:) the former is also said of the plumage of a bird; (A;) and of the foliage of trees; in the last of the senses mentioned above: (TA:) and [in like manner] ↓ تَحَصْحَصَ it (fur, and the nap of cloth,) became removed, or stripped off. (IAar.) You say also, انحصّت اللِّحْيَةُ The beard became short, its hair breaking off in pieces. (TA.) And انحصّ الذَّنَبُ The tail became cut off. (K.) It is said in a prov., أَــفْلَتَ وَ انْحَصَّ الذَّنَبُ [He escaped, but the tail became cut off]: applied to him who has been at the point of destruction, and then escaped: (K:) or alluding to the coward's escape from destruction after being at the point thereof: related to have been said by Mo'áwiyeh, on the occasion of the safe return of an ambassador whom he had sent to the King of the Greeks, appointing for him a threefold bloodwit [if he should be slain] on the condition of his proclaiming the call to prayer on entering his court; which he did; whereupon the King's generals, who were with him, sprang forward to slay him; but he forbade them, and sent him back furnished with requisites for his journey. (A 'Obeyd.) [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 201.] You also say, انحصّ رَأْسُهُ [His head shed, or lost, its hair: or part thereof]: (A:) and الحِمَارُ ↓ تَحَصْحَصَ, and البَعِيرُ, the ass's, and the camel's, hair fell off. (TA.) R.

A2: He strove, or laboured; exerted himself; took pains, or extraordinary pains; or exceeded the usual bounds; in his affair. (Abu-l-' Abbás, TA.) A3: He (a camel) fixed, or made firm or steady, his knees, in order to rise (S, K *) with the load; and his stifle-joints: (S:) or lay down upon his breast, with folded legs. (TA.) A4: Hence, as some say, الْآنَ حَصْحَصَ الحَقُّ, in the Kur [xii. 51], meaning, Now the truth hath become established: or, as others say, it is from حِصَّةٌ, and means, now hath the portion of truth become distinct from that of falsehood: (TA:) or now hath the truth become distinct, apparent, or manifest, (S, Msb, Er-Rághib, TA,) after concealment, (TA,) or by the coming to light of that which was concealed in the mind. (Er-Rághib, TA.) You say, حَصْحَصَ الشَّىْءُ The thing became distinct, apparent, or manifest, (Kh, S, K,) after having been concealed; (Kh;) as also ↓ حَصَّصَ, inf. n. تَحْصِيصٌ: (K:) and some read الحَقُّ ↓ حَصَّصَ in the Kur ubi suprà (TA.) One should not say حُصْحِصَ in this sense; (TA;) nor تَحَصْحَصَ. (Ez-Zejjájee.) R. Q. 2 تَحَصْحَصَ: see 7, in two places.

حِصَّةٌ A portion of a sum: (Er-Rághib:) and used to signify a portion, lot, or share, (S, Msb, Er-Rághib, K,) of food, and of beverage, and of land, &c.: (TA:) accord. to some, from حَصَّهُ signifying “ he cut off from it: ” (TA:) pl. حِصَصٌ.

ضل

1 ضَلَلْتُ, (S, Mgh, * O, Msb, * K,) third Pers\.

ضَلَّ, (Mgh, Msb,) aor. ـِ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. ضَلَالٌ and ضَلَالَةٌ; (S, * O, * Msb;) and ضَلِلْتُ, (S, Mgh, * O, Msb, * K,) third Pers\. as above; (Mgh;) the former of the dial. of Nejd, and the more chaste; the latter of the dial. of the people of El-'Áliyeh, (S, Msb, TA,) and of El-Hijáz, and Kr has mentioned ضِلِلْتُ for ضَلِلْتُ as heard from the tribe of Temeem; (TA;) I erred, strayed, or went astray; (Mgh, Msb;) deviated from the right way or course, or from that which was right; missed, or lost, the right way; or lost my way; ضَلَالٌ and ضَلَالَةٌ signifying the contr. of رَشَادٌ, (S, O, TA,) and هُدًى. (K, TA.) [See ضَلَالٌ below.] Hence, in the Kur [xxxiv. 49], قُلْ إِنْ ضَلَلْتُ فِإِنَّمَا أَضِلُّ عَلَى نَفْسِى [Say thou, If I err, I shall err only against myself, i. e., to my own hurt]. (O, Msb. [See also x. 108 and xvii.16 of the Kur.]) One says also, ضَلَّ ضَلَالُهُ [app. His error became error indeed; a phrase similar to جَدَّ جِدُّهُ, q. v.: or his erring passed away; see 4, latter part]. (TA.) And ضَلَّ عَنِ القَصْدِ He deviated from the right way or course. (TA.) And the verb is trans. as well as intrans.: you say, ضَلَّ الطَّرِيقَ, and ضَلَّ عَنْهُ, aor. ـِ and ضَلَّ, (Mgh, Msb,) inf. ns. as above, meaning He erred, strayed, or went astray, from the road, or way; (Msb;) he did not find the way to the road: (Mgh, Msb:) and of anything stationary, if you miss the place thereof, you say ضَلَلْتُهُ and ضَلِلْتُهُ: (Az, Msb:) or you say, ضَلِلْتُ الطَّرِيقَ, (K,) or ضَلِلْتُ المَسْجِدَ, and الدَّارَ, (ISk, S, O,) [I missed, or lost, the right way to the road, or the mosque, and the house,] when you know not the place thereof: (ISk, S, O:) and in like manner, anything stationary, to which one does not find the way: (ISk, S, O, K:) and AA says the like: but that one says of a thing that falls from his hand, and a thing that quits its place, ↓ أَضْلَلْتُهُ, (IB, TA,) which means I lost it, and knew not its place; meaning, for instance, a horse, or she-camel, or the like: (Az, Msb:) [thus] one says, أَضْلَلْتُ بِعِيرِى [I lost my camel, and knew not his place,] (AA, ISk, S, IB, O) when his shank has been tied up to his arm and one does not find the way to him, and when he has been left loose and has gone away whither one knows not: (AA, IB, TA:) but Yoo differs from others respecting this case; for, accord. to him, one says, اضلّ فُلَانٌ بَعِيرَهُ and also ضَلَّهُ, in the same sense; (O, TA;) and the like is said in the K: (TA:) and it is also said in the Bári' that when you seek an animal and miss its place and find not the way to it, it is regarded as in the category of stationary things, and therefore you say ضَلِلْتُهُ. (Msb.) b2: ضَلَّ signifies also He was, or became, confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course. (Ibn-Es-Seed, TA.) b3: Also, aor. ـِ (S, O, K) and ضَلَّ, (K,) the pret. being like زَلَّ and مَلَّ, (TA,) inf. n. ضَلَال, It (a thing, S, O, TA) became lost; [as though it went astray;] it perished, came to nought, or passed away. (S, O, K, TA.) Thus in the phrase ضَلَّ عَنِّى كَذَا Such a thing became lost from me. (Mgh.) One says to him from whom pieces of money have dropped, قَدْ ضَلَّتْ عَنْكَ [They have become lost from thee]. (TA.) And to him who has done a deed from which no profit has resulted, you say, قَد ضَلَّ سَعْيُكَ (tropical:) [Thy labour has been lost]: the like occurs in the Kur xviii. 104, meaning ضَاعَ. (TA, in two places.) b4: And (tropical:) He (a man, TA) died, and became dust and bones. (K, TA.) In this sense the verb is used in the Kur xxxii. 9: but some there read, in the place of ضَلَلْنَا, صَلِلْنَا [q. v.], with ص: (TA:) or the verb in that instance has the meaning here next following. (S.) b5: And (assumed tropical:) He, or it, (a man, S, TA, or a camel, Msb, and a thing, TA,) was, or became, unperceived or imperceptible, unapparent, latent, hidden or concealed, or absent, (S, Msb, K, TA.) Hence the phrase, ضَلَّ المَآءُ فِى اللَّبَنِ (tropical:) [The water became unperceived, or concealed, in the milk]. (TA.) One says of a road to which he has not been able to find the way, ضَلَّ عَنِّى

[It has become hidden from me]. (K, TA.) and hence also the saying of a man, as is related in a trad., (S, O, TA,) after his having charged his sons by saying to them, “When I die, burn ye me; and when I shall have become ashes, pound me; then scatter me in the water: ” (O, TA:) لَعَلِّى أَضِلُّ اللّٰه (S, O, TA) i. e. (assumed tropical:) May-be, I shall be unperceived by God, or concealed from Him: (S:) or may-be, I shall be hidden, or absent, from God's punishment: (O, TA:) or, as El-'Otbee says, may-be, I shall escape God, and my place will be hidden from Him. (TA.) And ضَلَّ said of one forgetting means (assumed tropical:) His memory became absent from him. (O, Msb, TA.) أَنْ تَضِلَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا, or إِنْ تَضِلَّ, in the Kur [ii. 282], accord. to different readers, (TA,) in which instance أَنْ and إِنْ are syn., (Mughnee, [see أَنْ, in p. 106, cols. 1 and 2,]) means If one of them twain [referring to women] be absent from her memory: or if the memory of one of them twain be absent from her: [or if one of them twain err in her memory:] or, accord. to Zj, the meaning of the verb in this case is that which next follows. (TA.) b6: ضَلِلْتُ الشَّىْءَ also signifies (assumed tropical:) I forgot the thing: whence one says of a woman, ضَلَّتْ أَيَّامَ حَيْضِهَا (assumed tropical:) [She forgot the days of her menstruation]; and so ↓ أَضَلَّتْهَا: (Mgh:) or ضَلَّ فُلَانًا (assumed tropical:) He was made, or caused, to forget such a one. (K. [In the CK, اُنْسِيْهِ is erroneously put for أُنْسِيَهُ.]) It is said that لَا يَضِلُّ رَبِّى, in the Kur xx. 54, means (assumed tropical:) My Lord will not be unmindful: or nothing will escape Him. (TA.) b7: And one says, ضَلَّنِى فُلَانٌ, (Msb, K,) or ضَلَّنِى فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ أَقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ, (O,) meaning Such a one went away from me, (O, Msb, K,) and I was unable to compass him [or to find him]: so in the Bári'. (Msb.) A2: ضُلَّ, as a verb of wonder: see ضُلٌّ.2 ضلَلهُ, (S, MA, O, K,) inf. n. تَضْلِيلٌ and تَضْلَالٌ, (K,) He, or it, made, or caused, him to pursue a course that led to error, or deviation from the right way: (K: [see also 4:]) he, or it, led him astray; seduced him: (MA:) [or] he attributed, or imputed, to him error, or deviation from the right way. (S, MA, O.) ضُلِّلَ سَعْيُهُمْ, a phrase used by a poet, means Error, or deviation from the right way, was attributed to their labour; because they did not reach their goal. (Ham p. 771.) b2: [Hence,] one says, ضَلِّلْ مَالَكَ Send forth, or set free, thy cattle to pasture, or to pasture where they please, by themselves. (O.) b3: See also the next paragraph.4 اضلّهُ, inf. n. إِضْلَالٌ, He, or it, made him, or caused him, to err, stray, or go astray; to deviate from the right way or course, or from that which was right; to miss, or lose, the right way; or to lose his way. (Az, TA.) [See also 2, first sentence.] الإِضْلَالُ is of two sorts: one of these is the consequence of erring, or straying; either as in the case in which one says أَضْلَلْتُ البَعِيرَ (expl. above, see 1, former half); or the decreeing that one shall err, or stray, &c., because he has done so already, and this is sometimes the case when the إِضْلَال of a man is attributed to God: the other sort is the embellishing [or commending] to a man that which is false, or wrong, or vain, in order that he may err, or stray, &c.: and God's

إِضْلَال of a man is of two sorts; one of which has been expl. above; the other is God's so constituting man that when he observes [and pursues] a certain course, or way, [of acting or the like], whether it be such as is commended or such as is discommended, he habituates himself to it, and esteems it pleasant, and keeps to it, and finds it difficult to turn from it, wherefore it is said that custom is a second nature. (Er-Rághib, TA.) b2: Also He, or it, made, or caused, him, or it, to perish, or become lost; syn. أَهْلَكَهُ, (S, TA,) and أَضَاعَهُ, (El-Fárábee, S, O, Msb,) or ضَيَّعَهُ; (TA;) [اضاعهُ and ضيّعهُ signifying the same; and so اضلّهُ and ↓ ضللّٰهُ; whence,] أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ, in the Kur cv. 2, means [Did He not make their plot to be such as ended] in a causing to perish, or become lost, (فِى تَضْيِيعٍ,) and in annulment? (Ksh, Bd.) أَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ, in the Kur [xlvii. 1 and 9, which may be rendered (assumed tropical:) He will cause their works to be lost, or to be of no effect], means, accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, He will not recompense them for their good works; the phrase being similar to the saying قَدْ ضَلَّ سَعْيُكَ [expl. above]. (TA.) And أَضَلَّ اللّٰهُ ضَلَالَكَ (assumed tropical:) [May God make thine erring to be no more, or to come to an end,] is expl. by ISk as meaning may thine erring pass away from thee, so that thou shalt not err; and he adds that the saying مَلَّ مَلَالُكَ means ذَهَبَ عَنْكَ حَتَّى لَا تَمَلَّ. (TA.) b3: Also (tropical:) He buried, and hid, or concealed, him, or it. (K, TA.) Yousay, أُضِلَّ المَيِّتُ (tropical:) The dead was buried. (S, O.) The phrase أَضَلَّتْ بِهِ أُمُّهُ, meaning (tropical:) His mother buried him, in a verse cited by IAar, is extr., or anomalous. (TA.) b4: And He found him to be erring, straying, going astray; deviating from the right way or course, or from that which was right; missing, or losing, the right way; losing his way; not rightly directed, or not finding the way to the truth: like as one says أَحْمَدَهُ, and أَبْخَلَهُ. (TA.) b5: And you say, أَضَلَّنِى كَذَا, meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a thing was, or became, beyond my power, or compass. (IAar, Msb, TA.) b6: See also 1, near the end.5 تظلّل It went away: so in the saying, تضلّل المَآءُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الحَجَرِ [The water went away from beneath the stone]. (O, TA.) 6 تضالّ He feigned himself to be erring, straying, going astray; deviating from the right way or course, or from that which was right; missing, or losing, the right way; or losing his way. (O, TA.) 10 استضلّ ضَلَالُهُ His erring demanded that he should err [the more], so that he did err [the more: like as erring is said to be a cause of one's being made to err: see 4: and see also ضَلَّ ضَلَالُهُ, near the beginning of the art.]: so in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, رَآهَا الفُؤَادُ فَاسْتَضَلَّ ضَلَالُهُ [The heart beheld her, and his erring demanded that he should err &c.]. (Skr, S, TA.) ضَلٌّ: see ضَلَالٌ.

ضُلٌّ: see ضَلَالٌ. b2: [Also, app. as meaning A lost state; a state of perishing, coming to nought, or passing away;] a subst. from ضَلَّ signifying ضَاعَ and هَلَكَ. (S, TA.) b3: And hence [its usage, in the manner of a proper name, in] the saying, هُوَ ضُلُّ بْنُ ضُلٍّ, (S,) which means, (S, O, K,) as also ↓ هُوَ ضِلُّ بْنُ ضِلٍّ, (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K,) He is the unknown, the son of the unknown; (S, Z, O, K;) and in like manner, بْنُ التَّلَالِ ↓ الضَّلَالُ; (S, O;) and قُلُّ بْنُ قُلٍّ: (TA:) or he is one in whom is no good: (K:) or he is one who persists in error. (M, K.) b4: [Hence also, perhaps, it is said that]

يَا ضُلَّ مَا تَجْرِى بِهِ العَصَا [in the CK ضَلَّ] meansيَا فَقْدَهُ and يَا تَلَفَهُ [i. e., app., O the loss, or O the coming to nought, of that by reason of which the mare El-'Asà is running!]: (K, TA:) a prov.; said by Kaseer Ibn-Saad to Jedheemeh El-Abrash, when he went with him to Ez-Zebbà; for when they were within her province, he repented, and Kaseer said to him, “Mount this my horse, and escape upon him, for his dust will not be cloven [by the pursuer,” i. e. he will not be overtaken]: (TA: [but the mare is thus made a male:]) or it was said by 'Amr Ibn-'Adee, when he saw El-'Asà, the mare of Jedheemeh, with Kaseer upon her: قَوْمُ is suppressed after يا; and ↓ ضُلَّ is of the forms [of verbs] denoting wonder, originally ضَلُلَ, with damm, like حُبَّ in the phrase حُبَّ بِفُلَانٍ, originally حَبُبَ; and the meaning of the prov. is, O people, what a case of perdition is that by reason of which El-'Asà is running! i. e., the death of Jedheemeh. (Meyd.) b5: ضُلٌّ بِتَضْلَالٍ [in CK ضَلٌّ] means A vain, or futile, thing: (S, O, K:) [or a vain, misleading thing; تَضْلَالٌ being an inf. n. of ضَلَّلَ:] 'Amr Ibn-Shás El-Asadee says, تَذَكَّرْتُ لَيْلَى لَاتَ حِينَ ادِكَارِهَا وَقَدْ حُنِىَ الأَضْلَاعُ ضُلٌّ بِتَضْلَالِ [I remembered Leylà when it was not a time for remembering her, the ribs having become bent by the bending of the back with age: it was a vain, misleading thing]. (S, O.) b6: ضُلُّ أَضْلَالٍ: see ضِلَّةٌ.

هُوَ ضِلُّ بْنُ ضِلٍّ: see ضُلٌّ. b2: ضِلُّ أَضْلَالٍ: see ضِلَّةٌ.

ضَلَّةٌ Confusion, or perplexity, and inability to see the right course: (K:) [or error: for] one says, فَعَلَ ذٰلِكَ ضَلَّةً He did that in error (فِى

ضَلَالَةٍ): and ذَهَبَ ضَلَّةً He went away not knowing whither he went: (TA:) and فُلَانٌ يَلُومُنِى ضَلَّةً

Such a one blames me wrongly: (S, O:) [or, behind my back, or in my absence: for] ضَلَّةٌ signifies also speech respecting a person behind his back, or in his absence; relating to good and to evil. (M, K, TA.) A2: [Freytag explains it as signifying also One in whom is no good, on the authority of Meyd.]

ضُلَّةٌ Skill in guiding, or directing aright, in journeying. (Fr, K, * TA.) ضِلَّةٌ: see ضَلَالٌ. b2: [Hence,] هُوَ ابْنُهُ لِضِلَّةٍ (tropical:) He is his son unlawfully begotten, or not trueborn. (Az, A, K, TA.) b3: ذَهَبَ دَمُهُ ضِلَّةً (tropical:) His blood went unrevenged, or without retaliation. (K, TA.) b4: And هُوَ تِبْعُ ضِلَّةٍ, (Th, O, K, TA,) with kesr to the ت and to the ض, (TA,) [in the CK, erroneously, تَبَعُ,] and تِبْعٌ ضِلَّةٌ, (K, TA,) thus related by IAar, (TA,) but the former only accord. to Th, (TA in art. تبع,) (assumed tropical:) He is a follower of women: (TA in that art.:) or he is one in whom is no good, and with whom is no good: (IAar, Th, TA:) or he is a very cunning man (دَاهِيَةٌ), one in whom is no good; (IAar, O, K, TA;) and so تِبْعُ صِلَّةٍ, (O, L, TA,) as some relate it; (L, TA;) and in like manner, أَضْلَالٍ ↓ ضِلُّ, (Lh, O, K, TA,) and أَضْلَالٍ ↓ ضُلُّ, (K, TA,) and صِلُّ

أَصْلَالٍ, [q. v.,] which is with kesr only, (K, TA,) a phrase similar to ضِرُّ أَضْرَارٍ. (TA in art. ضر.) ضَلَلٌ: see ضَلَالٌ. b2: Also Water (O, K) running (K) beneath a rock, which the sun does not reach: (O, K:) one says مَآءٌ ضَلَلٌ: (O:) or running among trees. (K.) [See also ضَلَلٌ.]

ضَلَالٌ [an inf. n. of 1: used as a simple subst.,] Error; contr. of رَشَادٌ, (S, O, TA,) and of هُدًى; (K, TA;) as also ↓ ضَلَالَةٌ, (S, O, K,) and ↓ ضَلٌّ, and ↓ ضُلٌّ, and ↓ ضِلَّةٌ, and ↓ ضَلَلٌ, and ↓ ضَلْضَلَةٌ, (K,) and ↓ ضُلَضِلَةٌ, (O, TA,) and ↓ أُضْلُولَةٌ, (K,) of which last the pl. is أَضَالِيلُ, (Lth, O, TA,) as in the saying تَمَادَى فِى أَضَالِيلِ الهَوَى [He persevered in the errors of love], (TA,) or أَضَالِيلُ, as some say, has no sing., or its sing. is supposed, or has been heard, and is أُضْلُولَةٌ or أُضْلُولٌ or إِضْلِيلٌ or some other form: (MF, TA:) the primary signification of الضَّلَالُ is the going away from the right course, or direction: (Ham p. 357:) or it signifies, accord. to Ibn-El-Kemál, the loss, or missing, of that which brings, or conducts, to the object sought: or, as some say, the pursuing a way that will not bring, or conduct, to that object: or, accord. to Er-Rághib, the deviating from the right way: and it is said to be any deviation from that which is right, intentional or unintentional, little or much; because the right and approved way is very difficult; wherefore it may be used of him who commits any mistake whatever, and is imputed to prophets and to unbelievers, though between the ضلال of the former and that of the latter is a wide difference: and in another point of view, it is of two sorts; one is in the speculative departments of knowledge, as in acquaintance with the unity of God, and with the prophetic function or office, and the like, indicated in the Kur iv. 135; or it is in the practical departments of knowledge, as in acquaintance with the ordinances of the law, that is, religious services. (TA.) b2: Also A state of perdition: so in the Kur liv. 24: (S, O:) [and in like manner ↓ ضَلَالَةٌ; for] ضَلَالَةُ العَمَلِ signifies The annulled and lost state of work. (TA.) b3: And Absence, or a state of concealment. (Msb. [This is there said to be the primary signification.]) b4: هُوَ الضَّلَالُ بْنُ التَّلَالِ see expl. voce ضُلٌّ.

ضَلُولٌ: see ضَالٌّ.

ضَلَالَةٌ: see ضَلَالٌ, in the beginning, and near the end, of the paragraph. One says, هِىَ الضَّلَالَةُ وَالتَّلَالَةُ; (S, O;) in which the latter noun is an imitative sequent. (S and K in art. تل.) ضِلِّيلٌ A man (S, O) who errs, strays, goes astray, or deviates from the right way or course, much, or often: (S, O, K:) or (tropical:) who errs, &c., much, or often, in religion: (TA:) and ↓ مُضَلَّلٌ, (S, TA,) which in some of the copies of the S is written thus and also مُضَلِّل, (TA,) signifies the same; (S, TA;) or one who is not disposed, or directed, to good; in the K, الّذى لا يُوَفِّى بِخَيْرٍ, [or يُوفِى بخير, as in the CK,] but correctly الّذى

لا يُوَفَّقُ لِخَيْرٍ; or, as some say, a committer of errors, and of false, wrong, or vain, actions: and ضِلِّيلٌ is also expl. as signifying one who will not desist from error. (TA.) Imra-el-Keys was called المَلِكُ الضِّلِّيلُ [The much-erring king], (S, O, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, الضَّلِيلُ,]) and ↓ الملك المُضَلَّلُ. (K.) ضَالٌّ Erring, straying, or going astray; deviating from the right way or course, or from that which is right; missing, or losing, the right way; or losing his way; (S, * Msb, TA;) and ↓ ضَلُولٌ is syn. therewith; (K;) [or rather with ضِلِّيلٌ, accord. to a general rule:] pl. of the former ضُلَّالٌ, [of which see an ex. in a verse cited voce رِسْلٌ,] and ضُالُّونَ: [in the Kur i. last verse,] some read وَلَا الضَّأَلِّينَ, to avoid the concurrence of two quiescent letters. (TA.) You say ضَالٌّ تَالٌّ; (S, O;) in which the latter epithet is an imitative sequent. (S and K in art. تل.) b2: [Also Becoming lost; &c. b3: And Forgetting.
