(M.) 4 افلس, [inf. n. إِفْلَاسٌ,] He became مُــفْلِس [which in the common legal acceptation means bankrupt, or insolvent]: (S:) or he had no property remaining: (O, K:) as though his دَرَاهِم [or pieces of silver] had become فُلُوس [or small copper coins], (S, O, K,) and base money: like as أَخْبَثَ signifies “ his companions, or friends, became bad, wicked, or deceitful: ” (S, O:) or he became in such a state that it was said he had not a فَلْس [or small copper coin]; (S, O, K;) like as أَقْهَرَ signifies “ he became in a state in which to be overcome, or subdued: ” (S, O:) or as though he became in a state in which to be overcome, or subdued: (Msb:) or he became a possessor of فُلُوس after he had been a possessor of دَرَاهِم: (M, Msb:) but properly, [so in the Msb, but I would rather say secondarily, or tropically,] he became reduced from a state of ease, or competence, or richness, to a state of difficulty, or poverty.

(O, TA.) فَلَسٌ, from أَــفْلَسَ, [app. signifying Bankruptcy or insolvency: or a state of indigence or destitution: and] lack of obtainment: (K, TA:) and failure of finding him whom [or that which] one seeks.

سلف

1 سَلَفَ, (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S, M, Msb,) or, accord. to some, سَلِفَ, and accord. to IKtt, سَلَفٌ and سَلِفَ, (MF,) inf. n. سَفٌ, (S, K,) or سُلُوفٌ, (Msb,) [both app. correct,] It (a thing, K) [and also he (a man)] passed; passed away; (S, Msb, K;) came to an end, or to nought; or became cut off: (Msb:) and, (K,) inf. n. سَلْفٌ, (M, MF, and so in copies of the K,) or سَفٌ, (so in the CK,) and سُلُوفٌ, (M, K,) he (a man, K) [and also it (a thing)] went before, or preceded; (M, K;) and so ↓ سالف, said of a camel. (K.) In a verse cited voce سَلْفَ رَدَادٌ is used by poetic license for سَلَفَ: but this kind of contraction is allowed by the Basrees only in verbs of which the medial radical letter is with kesr or damm, as in عَلْمَ for عَلِمَ, and كَرْمَ for كَرُمَ. (M. [See سَرُعَ.]) b2: You say also, سَلَفَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ, meaning A good, or righteous, deed of his preceded [so as to prepare for him a future reward]. (TA.) b3: And سَلَفَتِ النَّاقَةُ, inf. n. سُلُوفٌ, The she-camel was, or became, among the foremost of the camels in arriving at the water. (TA.) b4: [Golius and Freytag mention also سَلَفَ as a trans. verb; the former explaining it as signifying “ Præteriit, præcessit, rem; ” and the latter adding “ tempore,” and assigning to it the inf. ns. سَلْفٌ and سُلُوفٌ; as on the authority of the K; in which I find no indication of such a usage of this verb.]

A2: سَلَفَ الأَرْضَ, (S, M, K;) aor. ـُ inf. n. سَلْفٌ; (S, M;) and ↓ اسلفها; (M, K;) He turned over the land for sowing: (M, K:) or (so in the K, but in the M “ and ”) he made it even with the مِسْلَفَة [q. v.]. (S, M, K.) b2: سَلَفَ المَزَادَةَ, inf. n. سَلْفٌ, [in some copies of the K سَلَف,] He oiled, or greased, the مزادة [or leathern water-bag]. (K.) 2 تَسْلِيفٌ signifies The making [a thing] to go before, or precede. (S, K.) b2: And I. q. إِسْلَافٌ. (K.) See 4, in six places. b3: And The giving to another the portion of food termed سُلفَة [q. v.]. (S.) You say, سلّف الرَّجُلَ, (S,) or القَوْمَ, (M,) inf. n. as above, (S,) He gave to the man, (S,) or to the people or party, (M,) the portion of food so called; (S, M;) as also [سلّف لَهُ, or]

سلّف لَهُمْ. (M.) b4: And The eating of the [portion of food termed] سُلْفَة. (K.) [See also 5.]3 سالف: see 1, first sentence.

A2: سالفهُ فِى

الأَرْضِ, (Ibn-'Abbád, K,) inf. n. مُسَالَفَةٌ, (Ibn-'Abbád, TA,) i. q. سَايَرَهُ [i. e. He went, or kept pace, or ran, with him, or he vied, contended, or competed, with him in going or running, in the land; as though striving to be before him]. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) b2: And سالفهُ He equalled him in an affair. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) 4 اسلفهُ He did it previously, or beforehand. (O and TA in art. زلف.) b2: [Hence,] اسلف فِى, كَذَا, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) inf. n. إِسْلَافٌ; (TA;) and فِيهِ ↓ سلّف, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) inf. n. تَسْلِيفٌ; (Msb, TA;) He paid in advance, or beforehand, for such a thing, (S, Mgh, TA,) i. e. a commodity described to him, (S,) or wheat or the like, for which the seller became responsible, [with something additional to the equivalent of the current price at the time of the payment, (see سَلَفٌ,)] (TA,) to be delivered at a certain period: (S:) and أَسْلَمَ signifies the same. (TA.) You say, أَسْلَفْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِى كَذَا and إِلَيْهِ ↓ سَلَّفْتُ [I paid in advance to him for such a thing, &c.]. (Msb.) Hence the saying in a trad., فَيُسَلِّفْ ↓ مَنْ سَلَّفَ فِى كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَوَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ i. e. He who pays in advance for a commodity for which the seller is responsible, let him pay in advance for a certain measure, and a certain weight, to be delivered at a certain period. (TA.) b3: And اسلفهُ مَالًا, (S, M, Mgh, TA,) and ↓ سلّفهُ, (M, Mgh, TA,) He lent him property [to be repaid, or returned, without any profit]. (M, Mgh, TA. [See, again, سَلَفٌ.]) [Whence one says, اسلفهُ إِحْسَانًا and سلّفهُ, and ↓ سلّفهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He did to him, to be requited it, a good action and an evil action; as is shown by the words مَا أَسْلَفْتَ مِنْ إِسَآءَةٍ أَوْ إِحْسَانٍ وَمَا تُعْطِيهِ لِتُقْضَاهُ in art. قرض in the K, and by the corresponding words مَا سَلَّفْتَ مِنْ إِحْسَانٍ وَمِنْ إِسَآءَةٍ in the same art. in the S: see also Bd in xxxvi. 11: and see زَلَّفَهُ. And hence,] a poet says, تُسَلِّفُ ↓ الجَارَ شِرْبًا وَهْىَ حَائِمَةٌ وَالمَآءُ لَزْنٌ بَكِىْءُ العَيْنِ مُقْتَسَمُ (assumed tropical:) [They (referring to camels) yield promptly to the neighbour a draught of milk, while they are thirsty, and going round about the water, when the water is crowded upon, scanty in the source, divided by lot]. (TA. [See also some verses of El-Akra' Ibn-Mo'ádh, in which the former hemistich occurs with a different latter hemistich, in the Ham p. 753.]) A2: See also 1, last sentence but one.5 تسلّف He received payment in advance: and ↓ استسلف [perhaps a mistranscription for ↓ استلف] signifies [the same; or] he took, or received, what is termed سَلَف. (Msb.) b2: [and hence,] تسلّف مِنْهُ He received from him a loan; syn. اِقْتَرَضَ; as also ↓ استلف. (A in art. قرض.) And تسلّف مِنْهُ كَذَا He received as a loan from him such a thing. (TA.) b3: See also 10. b4: And تسلّف He ate the [portion of food termed] سُلْفَة. (MA.) [See also 2.]6 تسالفا They two took as their wives two sisters. (M, K.) 8 إِسْتَلَفَ see 5, in two places.10 اِسْتَسْلَفْتُ مِنْهُ دَرَاهِمَ I sought, or demanded, of him money as a loan; as also ↓ تَسَلَّفْتُ. (S, * TA.) Hence, استسلف مِنْ أَعْرَابِىٍّ بَكْرًا He sought, or demanded, as a loan, from an Arab of the desert, a [youthful he-camel such as is termed]

بَكْر. (TA.) b2: And استسلف ثَمَنَهُ He sought, or demanded, its price in advance; syn. اِسْتَقْرَضَهُ. (Har p. 530.) b3: See also 5.

(A 'Obeyd, O, K.) b5: And i. q. سَلَمٌ; (T, Hr, Mgh, O, K, TA;) i. e. Any money, or property, paid in advance, or beforehand, as the price of a commodity for which the seller has become responsible and which one has bought on description: (T, TA:) or payment for a commodity to be delivered at a certain [future] period with something additional to [the equivalent of] the current price at the time of such payment; this [transaction] being a cause of profit to him who makes such payment; and سَلَمٌ also has this meaning: (TA:) or a sort of sale in which the price is paid in advance, and the commodity is withheld, on the condition of description, to a certain [future] period: (S, O:) it is a subst. from الإِسْلَافُ. (Msb, * K, TA.) b6: and A loan (قَرْضٌ) in which is no profit (Hr, O, Mgh, K, TA) to the lender (Hr, O, K, TA) except recompense [in the world to come] and thanks, (TA,) and which it is incumbent on the recipient thereof to return as he received it: (Hr, O, K, TA:) thus the Arabs term it: (Hr, O, TA:) and in this sense also the word is a subst. from الإِسْلَافُ.

A3: Also, (M,) or ↓ سُلْفَةٌ, (O, TA,) The prepuce of a boy; (M, O, TA;) so says Lth; (O, TA;) and ↓ سَلِفٌ and ↓ سِلْفٌ signify the same; for this is meant by الجِلْدُ as an explanation of السَّلِفُ and السِّلْفُ in the K, in some copies of which الخُلْدُ is erroneously put for الجِلْدُ. (TA.) سَلِفٌ and ↓ سِلْفٌ The husband of the sister of the wife of a man: (S, K:) and [the duals]

سَلِفَانِ (M, TA) and ↓ سِلْفَانِ (M, K) signify the two husbands of two sisters: (M, K:) accord. to IAar, the epithet سَلِفَةٌ [or ↓ سِلْفَةٌ] is not applied to a woman; (M;) one only uses the term سَلِفَانِ applied to two men: (M:) or, (M, K,) accord. to Kr, سَلِفَتَانِ, (M,) or ↓ سِلْفَتَانِ, (K,) is applied to the two wives of two brothers: (M, K:) [in the present day, ↓ سِلْفَةٌ is used as meaning a woman's husband's sister, and her brother's wife:] the pl. applied to men is أَسْلَافٌ, (M, K, TA,) and that applied to women is سَلَفٌ.

(M.) [See also سُلَحٌ and سُلَكٌ.]

(TA.) b2: ناقة كَسِيرٌ (S, K) i. q. مَكْسُورَةٌ [lit., A broken she-camel,] (K,) is like the phrase كَفٌّ خَضِيبٌ, (S, TA,) meaning مَخْضُوبَةٌ: (TA;) or a she-camel having one of its legs broken: (Mgh:) and شَاةٌ كَسِيرٌ a sheep, or goat, having one of its legs broken: كسير being of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (Mgh, Msb:) and كَسِيرَةٌ also, [app. as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. is predominant,] like نَطِيحَةٌ: (Msb:) كَسِيرٌ, occurring in a trad. is explained as signifying a sheep, or goat, having a broken leg, that cannot walk; (IAth, * Mgh;) but this requires consideration. (Mgh.) كَاسِرٌ [Breaking]; fem. with ة: pl. masc. and fem. كُسَّرٌ; and pl. fem. كَوَاسِرُ also (K.) b2: (tropical:) Folding or doubling, and leaning or reclining upon, a pillow or cushion. Hence the following. in a trad. of 'Omar, لا يَزَالُ أَحَدُهُمْ كَاسِرًا وِسَادَهُ عِنْدَ امْرَأَةٍ مُغْزِيَةٍ, meaning, (tropical:) Not one of them ceases to fold or double his pillow or cushion at the abode of a woman whose husband is absent in war, and to lean or recline upon it, and enter upon discourse with her. (IAth, TA.) b3: (tropical:) An eagle, (A, K,) and a hawk or falcon, (A,) contracting his wings, (A, K,) or contracting them somewhat, so that he may descend in his flight, (TA,) or in order to alight.

(Sgh, K.) جَمْعُ التَّكْسِيرِ (assumed tropical:) [The broken plural;] the plural in which the composition of the singular is changed; (K;) the change being either apparent, as in رِجَالٌ, pl. of رَجُلٌ, or understood, as in فُلْكٌ, which is both sing. and pl., for the dammeh in the sing. in this case is like the dammeh of قُفْلٌ, and that in the pl. is like that of أسْدٌ. (Ibn-'Akeel: see Dieterici's “ Alfijjah ” &c.; pp.329 and 330.) b2: Also تَكْسِيرٌ (assumed tropical:) [The area of a circle]: in the circle are three things: دَوْرٌ [or circumference] and قُطْرٌ [or diameter] and تَكْسِيرٌ [or area], which [last] is the product of the multiplication of the half of the قطر by the half of the دور: and it is sometimes called مِسَاحَةٌ. You say, مَا تَكْسِيرُ دَائِرَةٍ

قُطْرُهَا سَبْعَةٌ وَدَوْرُهَا اثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ [What is the area of a circle of which the diameter is seven and its circumference two-and-twenty?]: and the answer is ثَمَانِيَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ وَنِصْفٌ [Eight-and-thirty and a half].

(L.) مُحَرَّرًا ↓ اِعْتَبَدَ, occurring in a trad., or as some relate it, ↓ أَعْبَدَ, means He took an emancipated man as a slave: i. e. he emancipated a slave, and then concealed the act from him, or confined him, and made him to serve him by force; or he took a freeman, and pretended that he was a slave, and took possession of him by force.

عَبْدٌ, originally an epithet, but used as a subst., (Sb, TA,) A male slave; (S, A, O, L, Msb, K;) i. q. مَمْلُوكٌ; (L, K;) [but عَبْدٌ is now generally applied to a male black slave; and مَمْلُوكٌ, to a male white slave; and this distinction has long obtained;] contr. of حُرٌّ; (S, A, O, L, Msb;) as also ↓ عَبْدَلٌ, (L, K,) in which the ل is augmentative: (L:) and a servant, or worshipper, of God, and of a false god, or of the Devil: (Lth, L, &c.:) [you say عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ and عَبْدُ الشَّمْسِ &c.: see also عَابِدٌ, which signifies the same; and see the remarks in this paragraph on the pls. عَبِيدٌ and عِبَادٌ and عَبَدَةٌ &c.:] and a man, or human being; (M, A, L, K;) as being a bondman (مَرْبُوبٌ) to his Creator; (L;) applied to a male and to a female; (Ibn-Hazm, TA;) whether free or a slave: (K:) pl. أَعْبُدٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and أَعْبِدَةٌ and أَعْبَادٌ, (IKtt, TA,) [all pls. of pauc.,] of which the first is the most commonly known, (Msb,) and ↓ عَبِيدٌ and عِبَادٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) which two and the first are the most commonly known of all the many pls. of عَبْدٌ, (Msb,) عَبِيدٌ being like كَلِيبٌ as pl. of كَلْبٌ, a rare form of pl.; (S, O;) or, accord. to some, it is a quasipl. n.; accord. to Ibn-Málik, فَعِيلٌ occurs as a pl. measure, but sometimes they use it in the manner of a pl. and make it fem., as in the instance of عَبِيدٌ, and sometimes they use it in the manner of quasi-pl. ns. and make it masc., as in the instances of حَجِيجٌ and كَلِيبٌ; (MF;) [accord. to the general and more approved opinion, it is a quasi-pl. n., and therefore fem. and masc., but most commonly fem.;] and further it should be remarked that the common people agree in making a difference between عَبِيدٌ and عِبَادٌ, by the former meaning slaves [and by the latter meaning servants of God and also simply, with the article ال, mankind], saying, هٰؤُلَآءِ عَبِيدٌ these are slaves, and هٰذَا عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ [this is a servant, of the servants of God]: (Az, L:) [and a distinction is also made between عِبَادٌ and عَبَدَةٌ, respecting which see what follows:] other pls. of عَبْدٌ are عُبْدَانٌ, (S, O, K,) like تُمْرَانٌ pl. of تَمْرٌ, (S, O,) and عِبْدَانٌ, (S, O, K,) like جِحْشَانٌ pl. of جَحْشٌ, (S, O,) and عُبُدٌ, (S, O, K,) like سُقُفٌ pl. of سَقْفٌ, (S, O,) or this is pl. of عَبِيدٌ, like رُغُفٌ pl. of رَغِيفٌ, (Zj,) and is also a pl. of عَابِدٌ, (L,) and some read [in the Kur v. 65] عُبُدَ الطَّاغُوتِ, (Akh, S, O,) and عُبْدٌ (MF) and عُبُودٌ and عُبَّدٌ and عُبَّادٌ and عَبَدَةٌ, (IKtt, TA,) the last three of which are also pls. of عَابِدٌ: (L:) one says of the worshippers of a plurality of gods, هُمْ عَبَدَةُ الطَّاغُوتِ [they are the servants of Et-Tághoot]; but the Muslims one calls عِبَادُ اللّٰهِ, meaning the servants, or worshippers, of God: (Lth, L:) [all these are pls. in the proper sense of the term, of the broken class:] and عَبْدُونَ, (O, K,) a pl. of the sound class, adopted because عَبْدٌ is originally an epithet: (TA:) and [the following, with the exception of the first, and of some which are particularized as being pls. of pls., are also said to be pls., but are properly speaking quasi-pl. ns., namely,] ↓ عَبُدٌ, (O, K,) accord. to some, who read [in the Kur ubi suprà] عَبُدَ الطَّاغُوتِ, making the former a prefixed noun, as meaning the servants (خَدَم) of Et-Tághoot; but it is a n. of the measure فَعُلٌ, like حَذُرٌ and نَدُسٌ, not a pl.; the meaning being the servant (خَادِم) of Et-Tághoot; (Akh, S, O;) and it is also used by poetic license for عَبْدٌ; (Fr, T, S, O;) and ↓ عِبِدَّانٌ and ↓ عِبِدَّآءُ and ↓ عِبِدَّى; (S, O, K;) or, accord. to some, the last of these signifies slaves born in a state of slavery; and the female is termed ↓ عَبْدَةٌ; and Lth says that ↓ عِبِدَّى signifies a number of slaves born in a state of slavery, generation after generation; but Az says that this is a mistake, that عِبِدَّى اللّٰهِ signifies the same as عبَادُ اللّٰهِ, that it is thus used in a trad., and that عِبِدَّى is applied in another trad. to poor men of the class called أَهْلُ الصُّفَّة; (L;) and ↓ عُبُدَّآءُ and ↓ عِبِدَّةٌ and ↓ عِبَادٌّ (IKtt, TA) and ↓ مَعْبَدَةٌ, like مَشْيَخَةٌ, (T, O, K,) and ↓ مَعْبُودَآءُ (Yaakoob, S, O, K) and ↓ مَعْبُودَى, (IKtt, TA,) and [pl. pl.] ↓ مَعَابِدُ, (O, K,) said to be pl. of مَعْبَدَةٌ; (TA;) and pl. pl. أَعَابِدُ, (K,) pl. of أَعْبُدٌ; (TA;) and عَبِيدُونَ, (Es-Suyootee, MF,) app. pl. of ↓ عَبِيدٌ. (MF.) فَادْخُلِى فِى عِبَادِى, in the Kur lxxxix. 29, means Then enter thou among my righteous servants: (Ksh, Bd, Jel:) or it means فِى حِزْبِى [among my peculiar party]. (S, O.) b2: Also (tropical:) Ignoble, or base-born; like as حُرٌّ is used to signify “ generous,” “ noble,” or “ well-born. ” (Mgh in art. حر.) A2: Also A certain plant, of sweet odour, (O, K, TA,) of which the camels are fond because it makes the milk to become plentiful, and fattens; it is sharp, or hot, (حَادّ O, or حَارّ TA,) in temperament; and when they depasture it they become thirsty, and seek the water: (O, TA:) so says IAar. (O.) A3: And A short and broad نَصْل [or arrow-head, or spear-head, or blade]. (AA, O, * K.) عَبَدٌ: see عَابِدٌ.

↓ العَابِدِينَ, means The disdainers, or scorners, and the angry: (S, * L:) but Ibn-'Arafeh rejects this assertion: (TA:) these words are variously explained; as meaning There is not to the Compassionate a son; and I am the first of the angry disdainers or scorners of the assertion that there is: or, and I am the first of the deniers of this assertion: or, and I am the first of the worshippers of God according to the unitarian doctrine, or, of the worshippers of God of this people: or if there were to the Compassionate a son, I would be the first of his worshippers: or if there be to the Compassionate a son, I am the first of worshippers; but I am not the first worshipper of God: or, accord. to Az, the best interpretation is one ascribed to Mujáhid; i. e. if there be to the Compassionate a son in your opinion, I am the first of those who have worshipped God alone, and who have thus charged you with uttering a falsehood in this your assertion. (L.) عَبْدَةٌ: see عَبْدٌ, latter half.

4 ادبر, (M, K, and Bd in ix. 25,) inf. n. إِدْبَارٌ (S, M) and ↓ دُبْرٌ, accord. to Kr, but correctly the latter is a simple subst. [or quasi-inf. n.]; (M;) and ↓ دَبَرَ, (IAar, S, K,) inf. n. دَبْرٌ (TA) and دُبُورٌ; (TK;) He went, turning his back; turned back; went back; took a backward course; retreated; retired; retrograded; declined; syn. وَلَّىِ (S, M, K) and تَأَخَّرَ (IAar) and ذَهَبَ إِلَى خَلْفٍ; (Bd ubi suprà, and S and K in art. قبل;) contr. of أَقْبَلَ. (S, Bd.) And ادبر بِهِ [He went back, or backward, with it, or him; removed, or turned, it, or him, backward]. (S, K.) You say, يُدْبِرُ

بِالدَّلْوِ إِلَى الحَوْضِ [He goes back with the bucket to the watering-trough]: opposed to the phrase يُقْبِلُ بِهَا إِلَى بِئْرِ. (A.) See also دَبِيرٌ, first sentence. And ادبر عَنْهُ [He went back, &c., from it, or him]. (Msb.)

b2: [Hence,] (assumed tropical:) He feigned himself negligent of, or inattentive to, the want of his friend; (K;) as though he turned back from him. (TA.)

b3: [Hence also,] ادبر signifies (assumed tropical:) It

went backward, to a bad state; said of the affair, or case, of a people. (M, TA.) You say also, أَمْرٌ فُلَانٍ إِلَى إِقْبَالٍ and [in the contr. sense] الى

إِدْبَارٌ (assumed tropical:) [The affair, or case, of such a one is inclining to advance, and to go backward, to a bad state]. (A.) [إِدْبَارٌ often signifies The retiring, or declining, of good fortune; opposed to إِقْبَالٌ: see also 1, in the latter part of the paragraph.]

And ادبر القَوْمُ (assumed tropical:) The case of the people took a backward course, and there remained none of them. (TA.) And ادبر النَّهَارِ and ↓ دَبَرَ (inf. n. of the latter دُبُورٌ, A) signify the same; (Fr, T, S, M;) i. e. The day went, or departed; (M, A;) and so الصَّيْفُ

[the summer, or the spring]: and in like manner one says [in the contr. sense] أَقْبَلَ and قَبَلَ: so says Fr, and he adds, but you say of a man, اقبل الرَّاكِبُ and ادبر only, with ا, though [Az says] it seems to me that the two forms are applicable in the same manner to men as they are to times. (T.) Some read, in the Kur [lxxiv. 36], ↓ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا دَبَرَ, (T, S,) which, accord. to some, means And the night when it cometh after the day; (T;) or when it followeth the day: (S: [for another rendering, see 1:]) others, (T, S,) the greater number, (T,) read اذا أَدْبَرَ, (T, S,) meaning when it retreateth to depart. (T.)

[Hence,] ادبرت الصَّلَاةُ (assumed tropical:) The prayer ended. (Bd in l. 39.) And وَإِدْبَارَ السُّجُودِ: and وَإِدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ: see دُبُرٌ. And ادبر (assumed tropical:) He died; (K;) as also ↓ دابر. (Lh, M, K. [See also دَبَرَ القَوْمُ, in the first paragraph.])

b4: مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنَ الجَبَلِ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ and مَا قَبَلَ

↓ مِنْهُ وَمَا دَبَرَ signify the same [i. e. What is in front, of the mountain; and what is behind]. (JK.)

A2: ادبر also signifies He made a man to be behind him. (M.)

A3: And It, (the saddle, S, K, or a burden, M, TA,) and he, (a man, S, Mgh,) caused a camel, (S, M, Mgh,) or a horse or the like, (K,) to have galls, or sores, on the back; galled the back. (M, Mgh, K. *)

b2: and His camel became galled in the back. (S, K.)

b3: See also 1, last signification.

A4: It is also said [app., of a man, as meaning He slit the ear of a she-camel

in a particular manner, i. e.,] when (T) the فَتْلَة

[or twisted slip formed by slitting (see إِدْبَارَةٌ)] of the ear of a she-camel, (T, K,) it being slit, (T, [but for اذا نحرت in the TT and TA, from which this is taken, I read إِذَا بُحِرَتْ, an emendation evidently required,]) turns towards the back of the neck: (IAar, T, TT, K, * TA:) and أَقْبَلَ is said in like manner when this فتلة is turned towards the face. (IAar, T, TT, TA. [See also 3.])

A5: It signifies also عَرَفَ دَبِيرَهُ مِنْ قَبِيلِهِ, (IAar,) or عَرَفَ

قَبِيلَهُ مِنْ دَبِيرِهِ; (K;) said of a man. (IAar.

[See دَبِيرٌ.])

A6: Also He, (K,) a man, (TA,) or it, a company of men, (S, M,) entered upon [a time in which blew] the wind called الدَّبُور. (S, M, K.)

A7: And He journeyed on the day called دُبَار, i. e. Wednesday. (K, TA.)

A8: And He became possessed of much property or wealth, or of many camels or the like. (Msb, * K.)

5 تَدَبَّخَ see 2, in nine places.

b2: عَرَفَ الأَمْرَ تَدَبُّرًا means He knew the thing at the last, (M, Mgh,) after it had past. (Mgh.) Jereer says, (M,) وَلَا تَتَّقُونَ الشَّرَّ حَتَّىيُصِيبَكُمْ

وَلَا تَعْرِفُونَ الأَمْرَ إِلَّا تَدَبُّرَا

[And ye fear not evil until it befalleth you, and ye know not the thing save at the last, when it has past]. (M, Mgh. *) [See also 10.] And in like manner, تَدَبَّرَ الكَلَامَ [meaning He postponed the saying] is said of one who has sworn after doing a thing. (Mgh.)

6 تدابروا They turned their backs, one upon another. (A'Obeyd, T.)

b2: And hence, (A'Obeyd, T,) (assumed tropical:) They severed themselves, one from another, (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K,) and avoided, or shunned, one another; (A'Obeyd, T;) became at variance, one with another; (A;) regarded, or treated, one another with enmity, or hostility: (M, A:) or it is only said of the sons of one father, or ancestor. (M.)

b3: (assumed tropical:) They spoke [evil], one of another, behind the other's back. (TA.)

b4: (assumed tropical:) They abstained from, or neglected, aiding, or assisting, one another. (TA in art. خذل.)

10 استدبرهُ contr. of استقبلهُ. (S, * Msb, K. *)

[As such it signifies He turned his back towards him, or it.] You say, استدبر القِبْلَةَ He turned his back towards the kibleh. (MA.)

b2: [As such also,] He came behind him. (TA.) You say, استدبرهُ فَرَمَاهُ (A, TA) He came behind him and cast, or shot, at him. (TA.)

b3: [As such also, He saw it behind him: he looked back to it: he saw it, or knew it, afterwards:] he saw, (M, K,) or knew, (TA,) at the end of it, namely, an affair, or a case, what he did not see, (M, K,) or know, (TA,) at the beginning of it: (M, K:) [or rather] he knew it at the end of an affair, or a case; namely, a thing that he did not know at the beginning of it. (T, A.) You say, اِسْتَدْبَرَ

مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَالَمْ يَسْتَقْبِلْ He knew at the end of his affair, or case, what he did not know at the beginning of it. (A.) And إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَوِ اسْتَقْبَلَ مِنْ

أَمْرِهِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرَهُ لَهُدِىَ لِوِجْهَةِ أَمْرِهِ Verily such a one, had he known at the beginning of his affair, or case, what he knew at the end thereof, had been directed to the right way of executing his affair. (T.) [See also 5.]

b4: استدبرهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ He appropriated it to himself exclusively, in preference to others: (AO, K:) because he who does so turns his back upon others, and retires from them. (TA.) El-Aashà says, describing wine, عَلَى الشَّرْبِ أَوْ مُنْكِرٍ مَا عُلِمْ تَمَزَّرْتُهَاغَيْرَ مُسْتَدْبِرٍ

i. e. [I sipped it] not appropriating [it] to myself exclusively [in preference to the other drinkers, nor denying what was known]. (AO, TA.)

دَبْرٌ The location, or quarter, that is behind a thing. (K. [In the CK, for خَلْف is put خَلَف.])

Hence the saying, (TA,) جَعَلْتُ كَلَامَهُ دَبْرَ أُذُنِى (assumed tropical:) I turned away from his speech, and feigned myself deaf to it: (T, S:) I did not listen to his speech, nor care for it, or regard it. (M, K, * TA.) You say also, أُذُنِهِ ↓ جَعَلَهُ دَابِرَ (tropical:) He turned away from him, avoided him, or shunned him. (T, * A.)

b2: See also دَبَرِىٌّ.

b3: Also, [like إِدْبَارٌ, inf. n. of 4,] (assumed tropical:) Death. (K.)

b4: And (assumed tropical:) Constant sleep: (M, K:) it is like تَسْبِيخٌ. (M.)

A2: I. q. ↓ دِبَارٌ; these two words being pls. [or rather coll. gen. ns.] whereof the sings. [or ns.

un.] are ↓ دَبْرَةٌ and ↓ دِبَارَةٌ; which signify A مَشَارَة [explained in the TA as meaning a channel of water; but it seems to be here used as meaning a portion of ground separated from the adjacent parts, for sowing or planting, being surrounded by dams, or by ridges of earth, which retain the water for irrigation, as explained in art. شور, and as is indicated by its Persian equivalent here following,] in, (S,) or of, (K,) land

that is sown or for sowing; (S, K;) called in Persian كُرْد: (S:) and دِبَارٌ signifies small channels for irrigation between tracts of seedproduce; (K;) and its sing. is دَبْرَةٌ: (TA:) [Mtr says,] دَبْرَةٌ is syn. with مَشَارَةٌ; in Persian كَرْدَه [app. a mistranscription for كُرْد as above]; and the pl. is دَبْرٌ and دِبَارٌ: (Mgh:) [ISd says,] دَبْرَةٌ signifies a small channel for irrigation between tracts of land sown or for sowing: or, as some say, i. q. مَشَارَةٌ: and the pl. is دِبَارٌ: it is also said that دِبَارٌ signifies i. q. كُرْدَةٌ; and its n. un. is دِبَارَةٌ: and دِبَارَاتٌ signifies rivulets that flow through land of seed-produce; and its sing. is دَبْرَةٌ: but I know not how this is, unless دَبْرَةٌ

have دِبَارٌ for its pl., and this have ة added to it, as in فِحَالَةٌ, and so دبارات be a pl. pl., i. e. perfect

pl. of دِبَارَةٌ: AHn says that دَبْرَةٌ signifies a patch of ground that is sown; [as is also said in the K;] and the pl. is دِبَارٌ. (M.)

b2: Also A piece of rugged ground in a بَحْرٌ [i. e. sea or large river], like an island, which the water overflows [at times] and from which [at times] it recedes. (M, K.)

b3: And A mountain; (T, K;) in the Abyssinian language: (TA: [Az says, “I

know not whether it be Arabic or not:”]) whence the saying of the King of Abyssinia, (T, * K, * TA,) مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِى دَبْرًا ذَهَبًا وَأَنِّىآذَيْتُ رَجُلًا

مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ [I would not that I had a mountain of gold and that I had harmed a man of the Muslims]: (T, K:) but [SM says that] this is a confounding of two readings; which are, دَبْرًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ and أَنْ يَكُونَ دَبْرٌ لِى ذَهَبًا: (TA:) another reading is ذَبْرًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. (TA in art. ذبر.)

b4: See also دِبْرٌ.

b5: Also, (S, M, K, &c.,) and ↓ دِبْرٌ, (AHn, M, K,) A swarm of bees: and hornets, or large wasps; syn. زَنَابِيرُ: (S, M, K:) and the like thereof, having stings in their hinder parts: (B:) it has no sing., or n. un.: (As, M:) or the n. un. is ↓ دَبْرَةٌ or ↓ دِبْرَةٌ; of which the dim. ↓ دُبَيْرَةٌ occurs in a trad.: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَدْبُرٌ (K) and [of mult.] دُبُورٌ: (As, S, K:) and ↓ دَبُورٌ, with fet-h to the first letter, signifies bees; and has no proper sing. (M.) 'Ásim Ibn-Thábit El-Ansáree was called حَمِىُّ الدَّبْرِ [The protected of hornets, or bees], because his corpse was protected from his enemies by large hornets, (S,) or by a swarm of bees. (M, Mgh * in art. حمى.)

b6: دَبْرٌ also signifies The young ones of locusts; (AHn, K;) and so ↓ دِبْرٌ. (AHn, M, K.)

دُبْرٌ: see دُبُرٌ: and دَبَرِىٌّ; the latter in two places.

b2: Also, (S, M, K,) and ↓ دَبْرٌ, (M, K,) Much property or wealth; or many camels or the like; (S, M, K;) such as cannot be computed, or calculated: (M:) the sing. [and dual] and pl. are alike: you say [using it as an epithet]

مَالٌ دِبْرٌ and مَالَانِ دِبْرٌ and أَمْوَالٌ دِبْرٌ: (S, M:) this mode of usage is best known; but sometimes دُبُورٌ is used as its pl.: (M:) in like manner you say مَالٌ دَثْرٌ: and you say also رَجُلٌ ذُو

دِبْرٍ, (S, TA,) and رجل دبر, [unless this be a mistake for the phrase immediately preceding,] (Fr, TA,) meaning a man having large possessions in land or houses or other property. (Fr, S, TA.)

دَبَرٌ [app. signifies A tract of the western sky at sunset: for] the Arabs said, إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الثُّرَيَّا

بِدَبَرْ فَشَهْرٌ نِتَاجْ وَشَهْرٌ مَطَرْ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الشِّعْرَى بِقَبَلْ

فَمَجْدُ فَتًى وَحِمْلُ جَمَلْ, meaning When thou seest the Pleiades near to setting with sunset, then [is a month which] is a time of breeding of camels, and [a month which is] a time of rain: and when thou seest Sirius [near to rising] with

sunset, [then is the glory of the generous man, and the time for the burden of the full-grown hecamel; for] then is the most intense degree of cold, when none but the generous and noble and ingenuous man will patiently persevere in the exercise of hospitality and beneficence, and when the heavy burden is not laid save upon the strong full-grown he-camel, because then the camels become lean and the pasturage is scanty. (M.)

A2: Also, and so is أَدْبَارٌ, a pl. [or rather the former is a coll. gen. n.] of ↓ دَبَرَةٌ, (S, M, K,) which signifies A gall, or sore, on the back (M, * Mgh, K, * TA) of a horse or the like (M, K, TA) and of a camel, (M, Mgh,) produced by the saddle and the like; (Mgh;) and also on the كِرْكِرَة

[or callous projection on the breast] of a camel. (S and K in art. سر.) They used to say, in the Time of Ignorance, إِذَا بَرَأَ الدَّبَرُ وَعَفَا الأَثَرُ, explained as meaning [When] the galls on the back of the beast or upon the foot of the camel [shall heal, and the footstep, or mark, become obliterated]. (TA from a trad.)

A3: Also inf. n. of دَبِرَ. (M, Mgh.)

دَبِرٌ (M, K) and ↓ أَدْبَرُ (M) A horse or the like, (M, K,) and a camel, (M,) having galls, or sores, (M, K,) on his back (TA) [produced by the saddle and the like; having his back galled: see دَبَرٌ]: fem. [of the former] دَبِرَةٌ and [of the latter]

↓ دَبْرَآءُ: and pl. [of either] دَبْرَى. (M, TA.)

[Hence the prov.,] هَانَ عَلَى الأَمْلَسِ مَا لَاقَى الدَّبِرُ

[What he that had galls on his back experienced was a light matter to him that had a sound back]: applied to one who has an ill concern for his companion. (K.)

b2: In the phrase رَجُلٌ

خَسِرٌ وَدَبِرٌ [app. meaning A man erring and perishing], Lh says that دَبِرٌ is an imitative sequent to خَسِرٌ: but [ISd says,] I think that خَسِرٌ is a verbal epithet, and that دَبِرٌ is a possessive epithet. (M in art. دمر.) You say also أَحْمَقٌ

دَامِرٌ ↓ خَاسِرٌ دَابِرٌ: (T in art. بت: [see art. خسر:]) and دَابِرٌ is said to be an imitative sequent to خَاسِرٌ. (TA.)

دُبُرٌ and ↓ دُبْرٌ, (the latter a contraction of the former, Msb, [and not so commonly used, like as إِبْلٌ is not so commonly used as إِبِلٌ,]) The back; syn. ظَهْرٌ: (S, A, B, K;) the first signification given in the [S and] A and B: pl. أَدْبَارٌ. (TA.)

And وَلَّاهُ دُبُرَهُ [lit., He turned his back to him; and tropically,] the same as the phrase immediately preceding. (Mgh, Msb.) It is said in the Kur [liv. 45], وَيُوَلُّونَ الدُّبُرَ [And they shall turn the back, in flight]: where الدبر is used in a collective sense, agreeably with another passage in the Kur [xiv. 44], لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ. (S, B.)

You also say, ↓ وَلَّوْا دَبْرَةً (tropical:) They turned back in flight, or being routed. (A, TA.)

b2: The back, or hinder part, contr. of قُبُلٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) of anything: (Msb:) as, for instance, of a shirt. (Kur xii. 25, 27, and 28.) You say, وَقَعَ السَّهْمُ

بِدُبْرِ الهَدَفِ The arrow fell behind the butt. (TA in art. قبل.)

b3: The backside; posteriors; buttocks; rump; or podex: and the anus: syn. اِسْتٌ. (K.) [It has the former of these two significations in many instances; and the latter of them in many other instances: in the S and K in art. جعر, it is given as a syn. of مَجْعَرٌ, which has the latter signification in the present day. This latter signification may also be intended in the S, M, A, Msb, and K, by the explanation “ contr. of قُبُلٌ,” as well as the “ back, or hinder part,” of anything: for قُبُلٌ very often signifies the “ anterior pudendum ” of a man or woman, and is so explained. The anus is also called حَلْقَةُ الدُّبُرِ and حِتَارُ الدُّبُرِ and شَرَجُ الدُّبُرِ.] Its pl. أَدْبَارٌ is also applied to the part which comprises the اِسْت [or anus] and the حَيَآء [or vulva, i. e., external portion of the female organs of generation,] of a solid-hoofed animal, and of a cloven-hoofed

animal, and of that which has claws, or talons: or, as some say, of a camel, or an animal having feet like those of the camel: and the sing., to the حَيَآء [or vulva] alone, of any such animal. (M, TT.)

b4: (assumed tropical:) The latter, or last, part, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) of a thing, an affair, or an event, (T, S, Msb,) or of anything: (M, K:) pl. أَدْبَارٌ (M) [and دِبَارٌ: see دَبَرِىٌّ]. [See also دَابِرٌ.]

One says, جِئْتُكَ دُبُرِ الشَّهْرِ, and فِى دُبُرِهِ, and عَلَى

دُبُرِهِ, and أَدْبَارَ الشَّهْرِ, and فِى أَدْبَارِهِ, (tropical:) I came to thee in the latter, or last, part or parts, of the month. (M, K.) And أَدْعُو لَكَ فِى أَدْبَارِ الصَّلَوَاتِ (assumed tropical:) [I will petition for thee in the latter, or last, parts, or the conclusions, of the prayers]. (A.)

See also دَبَرِىٌّ. In the Kur [I. xxxix.], وَأَدْبَارَ

السُّجُودِ signifies (assumed tropical:) And in the latter parts, or the ends, of the prayers: and السُّجُودِ ↓ وَإِدْبَارَ [virtually] signifies the same [i. e. and in the ending of prostration], and is another reading of the text: Ks and Th adopt the former reading, because every single prostration has its latter part: or, accord. to the T, the meaning is, and in the two rek'ahs (الرَّكْعَتَانِ) after sunset; as is related on the authority of 'Alee the son of Aboo-Tálib. (TA.) The similar expression in the Kur [lii. last verse] وَأَدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ is explained by the lexicologists as signifying (assumed tropical:) And during the consecution of the stars, and their taking towards the west, to set: but [ISd says,] I know not how this is, since أَخْذٌ, by which they explain it, is an inf. n., and أَدْبَار is a pl. of a subst.: النُّجُومِ ↓ وَإِدْبَارَ, which is another reading of the text, signifies and during the setting of the stars: and Ks and Th adopt this latter reading: (M:) or, accord. to the T, both mean and in the two rek'ahs before daybreak. (TA.)

b5: Also The hinder part, (M,) and angle, (زَاوِيَة,) of a house or chamber or tent. (M, K.)

b6: عِتْقَ العَبْدِ عَنْ

دُبُرٍ (S, K) means The emancipation of the slave after the death of his owner. (S, Mgh, * Msb. * [See 2.])

b7: [See also دَبِيرٌ, of which, and of دِبَارٌ, دُبُرٌ is said in the TA in art. قبل to be a pl.].

دَبْرَةٌ: see دُبُرٌ.

b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A turn of evil fortune; an unfavourable turn of fortune: or a turn to be vanquished; contr. of دَوْلَةٌ: (As, M, K:) دَوْلَةٌ relates to good; and دَبْرَةٌ, to evil: one

says, جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ الدَّبْرَةَ (assumed tropical:) [May God make the turn of evil fortune to be against him]: (As, T, M:) this [says ISd] is the best explanation that I have seen of دَبْرَةٌ: (M:) or (so accord. to the M, but in the K “ and ”) it signifies (assumed tropical:) the issue, or result, of a thing or an affair or a case; (M, K;) as in the saying of Aboo-Jahl to Ibn-Mes'ood, when he [the former] lay prostrate, wounded, لِمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ (assumed tropical:) In whose favour is the issue, or result? and was answered, “In favour of God and his apostle, O enemy of God: ” (T, TA:) also (tropical:) defeat in fight; (S, A, Mgh, K;) a subst. from الإِدْبَارُ, as also ↓ دَبَرَةٌ, (S,) and ↓ دَابِرَةٌ: (IAar, A, K:) you say, كَانَتِ الدَّبْرَةُ لَهُ, meaning (tropical:) His adversary was defeated; and عَلَيْهِ

meaning (tropical:) He was himself defeated: (A:) and لِمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Who is the defeater? and عَلَىمَنِ الدَّبْرَةُ (assumed tropical:) Who is the defeated? the pl. of دَبْرَةٌ in the last sense is دِبَارٌ: (TA:) which also signifies conflicts and defeats; (K;) as in the saying, أَوْقَعَ اللّٰهُ بِهِمُ الدِّبَارَ God caused, or may God cause, to befall them conflicts and defeats. (TA.)

A2: See also دَبْرٌ, in two places.

دِبْرَةٌ The direction, or point, towards which one turns his back; contr. of قِبْلَةٌ. (S, K.) One

says, مَا لَهُ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَا دِبْرَةٌ, meaning (tropical:) He has no way of applying himself rightly to his affair. (S, K, TA.) And لَيْسَ لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَا دِبْرَةٌ (tropical:) The right way of executing this affair is not known. (S, A.)

b2: See also إِدْبَارَةٌ.

Yousay, العِلْمُ قَبَلِىٌّوَلَيْسَ بِالدَّبَرِىِّ (assumed tropical:) [True learning is prompt, and is not backward]: i. e., the man of sound learning answers thee quickly; but the backward says, I must consider it. (Th, T.) and تَبِعْتُ صَاحِبِى دَبَرِيًّا (assumed tropical:) I followed my companion, fearing that he would escape me, after having been with him, and having fallen back from him. (M.) And شَرُّ الرَّأْىِ الدَّبَرِىُّ (T, S, A, K *) (tropical:) The worst opinion, or counsel, is that which occurs [to one] late, when the want [of it] is past; (T, S, K, * TA;) i. e., when the affair is past: or رَأْىٌ

دَبَرِىٌّ signifies an opinion, or a counsel, not deeply looked into; and in like manner, جَوَابٌ, an answer, or a reply. (M.) And فُلَانٌ لَا يُصَلِّى

الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا دَبَرِيًّا (Az, S, M, A, K) and ↓ دَبْرِيًّا, (AHeyth, K,) and the relaters of traditions say ↓ دُبُرِيًّا, (S,) which is said in the K to be a corruption, but it may have been heard from a good authority, and with respect to the rules of the language is chaste, for, accord. to IAth, دَبَرِىٌّ is a rel. n. irregularly formed from دُبُرٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) Such a one performs not prayer save in the last part of its time. (Az, S, K *) It is said in a trad., لَا يَأْتِى الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا دَبَرِيًّا; and in another, ↓ الّا دُبْرًا or ↓ دَبْرًا, accord. to different relations; (tropical:) He will not come to prayer save at the last, or late: and in another, ↓ أَتَى الصَّلَاةَ دِبَارًا (tropical:) He came to prayer at the latest of the times thereof; (IAar, TA;) or after the time had gone: (S:) ↓ دِبَارٌ being a pl. of ↓ دُبُرٌ and ↓ دُبْرٌ meaning the last of the times of prayer &c. (IAar, TA.)

One says also, ↓ جَآءَ فُلَانٌ دَبْرِيًّا (tropical:) Such a one came last, or latest. (A, * TA.) دبريًّا is in the accus.

case as an adv. n. of time [like دُبْرًا and دَبْرًا and دِبَارًا], or as a denotative of state with respect to the agent of the verb. (TA.) In the passage in the K [where it is said that دَبَرِىٌّ signifies Prayer in the last of its time, &c.], there is a looseness. (TA.)

دُبُرِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

الدَّبَرَانُ [The Hyades: or the five chief stars of the Hyades: or the brightest star among them, a of Taurus:] five stars of Taurus, said to be his hump; (S;) one of the Mansions of the Moon; [namely, the Fourth;] a certain star, or asterism, between الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades] and الجَوْزَآءُ [or Orion], also called التَّابِعُ and التُّوَيْبِعُ; (T;) it follows الثريّا, (T, M,) and therefore is thus named. (T.) [See مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل: and see المِجْدَحُ, in art. جدح.]

دُبَارٌ, (S, M, K, [in the M, accord. to the TT, written دُبَارُ, and it occurs in poetry imperfectly decl., but there is no reason for its being so in prose,]) and ↓ دِبَارٌ, (K,) Wednesday; the fourth day of the week; (S, K;) an ancient name thereof: (S, M, * TA:) or, accord. to the 'Eyn, (K,) the night of [i. e. preceding the day of]

Wednesday: (M, K:) which latter explanation is preferred by some authorities. (TA.) Wednesday is a day of ill luck: Mujáhid, being asked respecting the day of ill luck, answered, “The

Wednesday that does not come round [again, i. e. the last Wednesday,] in the month. ” (TA.)

دِبَارٌ: see دَبَرِىٌّ, in two places.

b2: You say also, فُلَانٌ مَا يَدْرِى قِبَالَ الأَمْرِ مِنْ دِبَارِهِ Such a one does not know the first part of the affair from the last thereof. (TA.) And مَا يَعْرِفُ قِبَالًا: مِنْ دِبَارٍ: see دَبِيرٌ. And مَا أَنْتَ لَهُمْ فِى قِبَالٍ وَلَا

دِبَارٍ (assumed tropical:) Thou art not one for whom they care. (TA in art. قبل.)

A2: See also دَبْرٌ: A3: and دُبَارٌ.

دَبُورٌ, used as a subst. and as an epithet, [of the fem. gender,] so that one says either رِيحُ الدَّبُورِ or رِيحٌ دَبُورٌ and simply دَبُورٌ, but more commonly used as an epithet, (M,) [The west wind: or a westerly wind: the west being regarded as the hinder quarter:] the wind that is opposite to that called الصَّبَا (S, L, Msb, K) and القَبُولُ, (L,) blowing from the direction of the place of sunset: (L, Msb:) or the wind that comes from [the direction of] the back, or hinder part, of the Kaabeh, going towards the place of sunrise: (M:) but IAth rejects this explanation: (TA:) or the wind that comes from the quarter behind a person when he is standing at the kibleh: [but this is a most strange explanation:] or, accord. to IAar, the wind that blows from the tract extending from the place where En-Nesr et-Táïr [or Aquila] sets [i. e. about W. 10° N. in Central Arabia] to the place where Suheyl [or Canopus]

rises [about S. 29° E. in Central Arabia]: (M:) or that comes from the direction of the south (الجَنُوب), going towards the place of sunrise: (Msb:) it is the worst of winds: it is said that it does not fecundate trees, nor raise clouds: (Meyd, TA:) and in a trad. it is said that the tribe of 'Ád was destroyed by it: (T, TA:) it blows only in the hot season, and is very thirsty: (TA voce نَكْبَآءُ:) pl. دُبُرٌ and دَبَائِرُ. (M.) [Hence the saying,] عَصَفَتْ دَبُورُهُ وَسَقَطَتْ عَبُورُهُ [lit. His west wind, or westerly wind, blew violently, and his Sirius set: meaning (tropical:) his evil fortune prevailed, and his good fortune departed: for the دبور is the worst of winds, as observed above, and Sirius sets aurorally in the beginning of winter, when provisions become scarce]. (A.)

A2: See also دَبْرٌ, last sentence but two.

دَبِيرٌ A twist which a woman turns backward (بِهِ ↓ مَا أَدْبَرَتْ), in twisting it: (S, K:) or what one turns backward from his chest [in rolling it against the front of his body]: (Yaakoob, S, A, K:) and قَبِيلٌ signifies “ what one turns forward (مَا أَقْبَلَ بِهِ)

towards his chest: ” (Yaakoob, S, A:) or the former, what the twister turns backward towards his knee [in rolling it against his thigh; against

which, or against the front of the body, the spindle is commonly rolled, except when it is twirled only with the hand while hanging loosely]: and the latter, “what he turns forward towards his flank or waist: ” (As, T:) [whence the saying,] قَبَلْتُ

أُخْرَى ↓ الحَبْلُ مَرَّةً وَ دَبَرْتُهُ [I turned the rope, or cord, forward, or toward me, in twisting it, one time, and turned it backward, or from me, another time]: (TA in art. قبل:) or دَبِيرٌ signifies the twisting of flax and wool: and قَبِيلٌ, the “ twisting of cotton. ” (Lth, T.) One says, عَرَفَ

قَبِيلَهُ مِنْ دَبِيرِهِ, meaning (tropical:) He knew, or distinguished, his obedience from his disobedience; (K,) TA;) or دَبِيرَهُ مِنْ قَبِيلِهِ his disobedience from his obedience. (Aboo-' Amr Esh-Sheybánee, IAar, T.) And فُلَانٌ مَا يَعْرِفُ قَبِيلًا مِنْ دَبِيرٍ (S, A) or قَبِيلَهُ من دَبِيرِهِ (TA) (tropical:) [Such a one knows not &c.]: or مَا يَعْرِفُ قَبِيلًا مِنْ دَبِيرٍ and ↓ قِبَالًا مِنْ دِبَارٍ he knows not the ewe, or she-goat, that is termed مُقَابَلَة from that which is termed مُدَابَرَة: or him who advances towards him from him who goes back from him: or the parentage of his mother from that of his father: (K in art. قبل:) or that of his father from that of his mother: so says IDrd in explaining the former phrase: or a قُبُل from a دُبُر: or a thing when advancing from a thing when going back: and the pls. of each are قُبُلٌ and دُبُرٌ. (TA in that art.) Accord. to El-Mufaddal, دَبِيرٌ signifies An arrow's losing in a game of chance [such as المَيْسِر]; and قَبِيلٌ, its “ winning therein. ” (T, TA.) [See قَبِيلٌ, in art. قبل.]

b2: Also The upper [because it is the hinder]

part of the ear of a camel: the lower part is called the قَبِيل. (TA in art. قبل.)

دِبَارَةٌ: see دَبْرٌ.

دَابِرٌ act. part. n. of دَبَرَ, Following (S, K, TA)

[Hence,] دَابِرُ قَوْمٍ The last that remains of a people or party; he who comes at the end of a people or party; as also ↓ دَابِرَتُهُمْ; which likewise signifies those who remain after them: and ↓ دَابِرَةٌ [so in the TA, but accord. to the T دَابِرٌ, which I think the right reading,] signifies one who comes after; or follows, another. (TA.)

اللّٰهُ دَابِرَهُ May God cut off the last of him, or it: (A:) or may God extirpate him. (As, T.) and in the Kur [vi. 45] it is said, فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ القَوْمِ

And the last of the people were extirpated. (M, TA.) And in a trad., يُقْطَعُ بِهِ دَابِرُهُمْ All of them shall be cut off thereby, not one remaining. (TA.)

إِدْبَارَةٌ A slit in the ear [of a ewe or she-goat or she-camel], which being made, that thing [thus made, meaning the pendulous strip,] is twisted, and turned backward: if turned forward, it is termed إِقْبَالَةٌ: and the hanging piece of skin of the ear is termed إِدْبَارَةٌ [in the former case] and إِقْبَالَةٌ [in the latter case]; as though it were a زَنَمَة [q. v.]; (As, S, M, * K;) and, respectively, ↓ إِدْبَارٌ and إِقْبَالٌ, and ↓ دِبْرَةْ and قِبْلَةٌ. (TA in art. قبل.) The ewe or she-goat [to which this has been done] is termed ↓ مُدَابَرَةٌ [in the former case] and مُقَابَلَةٌ [in the latter]: and you say of yourself [when you have performed the operation, in these two cases respectively], دَابَرْتُهَا and قَابَلْتُهَا: and the she-camel is termed ذَاتُ إِدْبَارَة and ذَاتُ

مُدَبَّرٌ A slave made to be free after his owner's

had her ear thus cut if of generous race. and hence,] نَاقَةٌ مُقَابَلَةٌ مُدَابَرَةٌ (tropical:) A she-camel of generous race by sire and dam. (T, TA.) And فُلَانٌ

عقل

1 عَقڤلَ [The inf. n.] عَقْلٌ signifies The act of withholding, or restraining; syn. مَنْعٌ. (TA.) [This is app. the primary signification, or it may be from what next follows.] b2: عَقَلَ البَعِيرَ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. عَقْلٌ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) He bound the camel with the [rope called] عِقَال; (Mgh;) meaning he bound the camel's fore shank to his arm; (K;) i. e. he folded together the camel's fore shank and his arm and bound them both in the middle of the arm with the rope called عِقَال; (S, O, Msb;) and ↓ اعتقلهُ signifies the same; as also ↓ عقّلهُ; (K;) or you say, عَقَّلْتُ الإِبِلَ, from العِقَالُ, (S, O,) inf. n. تَعْقِيلٌ, (O,) [i. e. I bound the camels in the manner expl. above,] this verb being with tesh-deed because of its application to a number of objects: (S, O:) and sometimes the hocks were bound with the عِقَال. (TA.) The she-camel, also, was bound with the عِقَال on the occasion of her being covered: b3: and hence العَقْلُ is metonymically used as meaning الجِمَاعُ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) The act of compressing a woman]. (TA.) b4: عَقَلْتُ القَتِيلَ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, *) or المَقْتُولَ, (S, O,) aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (Msb, TA,) means I gave, or paid, the bloodwit to the heir, or next of kin, of the slain person: (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K: *) for the camels [that constituted the bloodwit] used to be bound with the عِقَال in the yard of the abode of the heir, or next of kin, of the slain person; and in consequence of frequency of usage, the phrase became employed to mean thus when the bloodwit was given in dirhems or deenárs. (As, S, O, Msb. * [See a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. عيف.]) And [hence] one says also, عَقَلْتُ عَنْهُ, (inf. n. as above, TA,) meaning I paid for him, (the slayer, Mgh,) i. e., in his stead, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K, *) the bloodwit that was obligatory upon him, (S, Mgh, O, K, *) or what was obligatory upon him of the bloodwit. (Msb.) And عَقَلْتُ لَهُ دَمَ فُلَانٍ I relinquished in his favour retaliation of the blood of such a one for the bloodwit. (S, O, Msb, K. *) لَا تَعْقِلُ العَاقِلَةُ عَمْدًا وَلَا عَبْدًا, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) in a trad. (S, O, Msb) of Esh-Shaabee, (O,) or a saying of Esh-Shaabee, (Mgh, * K,) not a trad., (K,) but the like occurs in a trad. related on the authority of I'Ab, (TA,) [meaning, accord. to an expl. of the verb when trans. without a particle, mentioned above, Those who are responsible for the payment of a bloodwit in certain cases shall not pay it for an intentional act of slaying or the like, nor for the slaying or the like of a slave,] applies, accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh, to the case of a slave's committing a crime against a free person: (S, O, Msb, K: [and thus as expl. in the Mgh:]) but, (S, O, Msb, K,) accord. to Ibn-Abee-Leylà, (S, O, Msb,) it applies to the case of a free person's committing a crime against a slave; for if the meaning were as Aboo-Haneefeh says, the phrase would be لَا تَعْقِلُ العَاقِلَةُ عَنْ عَبْدٍ; (S, O, Msb, K;) and As pronounced this to be correct: (S, O, Msb: *) Akmal-ed-Deen, however, in the Exposition of the Hidáyeh, says that عَقَلْتُهُ is used in the sense of عَقَلْتُ عَنْهُ, and that the context of the trad. indicates this meaning, which MF also defends. (TA.) [See also the saying لَا أَعْقِلُ الكَلْبَ الهَرَّارَ in art. هر.] b5: عَقَلَهُ, inf. n. as above, also means He set him up [app. a man] on one of his legs; [app. from عَقَلَ البَعِيرَ;] as also عَكَلَهُ: and every عَقْل is a raising. (TA.) b6: Also, [agreeably with the explanation of the inf. n. in the first sentence of this art.,] and ↓ عقّلهُ, and ↓ تعقّلهُ, (TA, [see also the first paragraph of art. عجس,]) and ↓ اعتقلهُ, (Msb, TA,) He withheld him, or restrained him, (Msb, TA,) عَنْ حَاجَتِهِ from the object of his want. (TA.) b7: and [hence,] عَقَلَ الدَّوَآءُ بَطْنَهُ, (S, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (S, K) and عَقُلَ, (K,) inf. n. عَقْلٌ, (TA,) The medicine bound, or confined, his belly [or bowels]; syn. أَمْسَكَهُ: (S, O, Msb, K:) accord. to some, particularly after looseness: and بَطْنَهُ ↓ اعتقل signifies the same. (TA.) And يَعْقِلُ الطَّبْعَ is said of a medicine [as meaning, in like manner, It binds the bowels; is astringent]. (TA in art. حمض; &c.) And عقل البَطْنُ [app. عُقِلَ] The belly [or bowels] became bound, or confined; syn. اِسْتَمْسَكَ. (TA.) b8: عَقَلَ عَلَى القَوْمِ, [aor. ـِ inf. n. عِقَالٌ, means He collected, or exacted, the poor-rates of the people, or party; [app. from عَقَلَ البَعِيرَ; as though he bound with the rope called عِقَال the camels that he collected;] on the authority of IKtt. (TA.) 'Omar, when he had deferred [collecting] the poor-rate in the year [of drought called] عَامُ الرَّمَادَةِ, sent Ibn-AbeeDhubáb, and said, اِعْقِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ عِقَالَيْنِ فَاقْسِمْ فِيهِمْ عِقَالًا وَاءْتِنِى بِالآخَرِ [Collect thou from them two years' poor-rate; then divide among them one year's poor-rate, and bring to me the other]. (O.) One says of the collector of the poor-rate, يَعْقِلُ الصَّدَقَةَ [He collects, or exacts, the poor-rate]. (S, O.) b9: عَقَلَ فُلَانًا and ↓ اعتقلهُ signify He threw down such a one [in wrestling] by twisting his leg upon the latter's leg: (K, * TA:) [or] you say, الشَّغْزَبِيَّةَ ↓ صَارَعَهُ فَاعْتَقَلَهُ He wrestled with him and twisted his leg upon the leg of the latter: (S, O:) and one says of a wrestler, ↓ لِفُلَانٍ عُقْلَةٌ بِهَا النَّاسَ ↓ يَعْتَقِلُ, (S, O,) or يَعْقِلُ بِهَا النَّاسَ, i. e.

A2: عَقَلَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. عَقْلٌ and ↓ مَعْقُولٌ, (S, O, K,) or the latter, accord. to Sb, is an epithet, [or a pass. part. n.,] for he used to say that no inf. n. has the measure مَفْعُولٌ, (S, O,) He was, or became, عَاقِل [i. e. intelligent, &c.; and so ↓ تعقّل; as though he were withheld, or restrained, from doing that which is not suitable, or befitting: see عَقْلٌ below]: and ↓ عقّل, (K, TA,) inf. n. تَعْقِيلٌ, (TA,) signifies the same, (K,) or [he possessed much intelligence, for] it is with teshdeed to denote muchness: (TA:) and عَقِلَ, aor. ـَ is a dial. var. of عَقَلَ, aor. ـِ signifying he became عَاقِل.

(TA.) نَخْلَةٌ لَا تَعْقِلُ الإِبَارَ (tropical:) A palm-tree that will not receive fecundation is a tropical phrase [perhaps from عَقَلَ meaning “ he understood ” a thing].

(TA.) 10 إِسْتَعْقَلَ [استعقلهُ He counted, accounted, or esteemed, him عَاقِل, i. e. intelligent, &c.: for] you say of a man, يُسْتَعْقَلُ [from العَقْلُ], like as you say يُسْتَحْمَقُ [from الحُمْقُ], and يُسْتَرْأَى from الرِّئَآءُ. (AA, S in art. رأى.) عَقْلٌ an inf. n. used as a subst.

(S, O.) A2: And as being originally the inf. n. of عَقَلَ in the phrase عَقَلَ الشَّىْءَ meaning [فَهِمَهُ or] تَدَبَّرَهُ; (Msb;) or as originally meaning المَنْعُ, because it withholds, or restrains, its possessor from doing that which is not suitable; or from المَعْقِلُ as meaning “ the place to which one has recourse for protection &c.,” because its possessor has recourse to it; (TA;) العَقْلُ signifies also Intelligence, understanding, intellect, mind, reason, or knowledge; syn. الحَجْرُ, (S, O,) and النُّهَى, (S,) or النُّهْيَةُ, (O,) or الحِجَا, and اللُّبُّ, (Msb,) or العِلْمُ, (K,) or the contr. of الحُمْقُ; (M, TA;) or the knowledge of the qualities of things, of their goodness and their badness, and their perfectness and their defectiveness; or the knowledge of the better of two good things, and of the worse of two bad things, or of affairs absolutely; or a faculty whereby is the discrimination between the bad and the good; (K, TA;) but these and other explanations of العَقْل in the K are all in treatises of intellectual things, and not mentioned by the leading lexicologists; (TA; [in which are added several more explanations of a similar kind that have no proper place in this work;]) some say that it is an innate property by which man is prepared to understand speech; (Msb;) the truth is, that it is a spiritual light, (K, TA,) shed into the heart and the brain, (TA,) whereby the soul acquires the instinctive and speculative kinds of knowledge, and the commencement of its existence is on the occasion of the young's becoming in the fætal state, [or rather of its quickening,] after which it continues to increase until it becomes complete on the attainment of puberty, (K, TA,) or until the attainment of forty years: (TA:) the pl. is عُقُولٌ: (K:) Sb mentions عَقْلٌ as an instance of an inf. n. having a pl., namely, عُقُولٌ; like شُغْلٌ and مَرَضٌ: (TA in art. مرض:) IAar says, (O,) العَقْلُ is [syn. with] القَلْبُ, and القَلْبُ is [syn. with] العَقْلُ: (O, K:) and ↓ المَعْقُولُ is [said to be] a subst., or name, for العَقْلُ, like المَجْلُودُ and المَيْسُورُ for الجَلَادَةُ and اليُسْرُ: (Har p. 12:) it is said in a prov., ↓ مَا لَهُ جُولٌ وَلَا مَعْقُولٌ, (Meyd, and Har ubi suprà,) meaning He has not strong purpose of mind, [to withhold, or protect, him,] like the جول [or casing] of the well of the collapsing whereof one is free from fear because of its firmness, nor intellect, or intelligence, (عَقْل,) to withhold him from doing that which is not suitable to the likes of him. (Meyd. [But see مَعْقُولٌ below.]) [Hence, أَسْنَانُ العَقْلِ (see 1 in art. حنك) and أَضْرَاسُ العَقْلِ (see ضِرْسٌ), both meaning The wisdom-teeth.]

(TA.) b2: And A great, wide, valley: (K:) pl. عَقَاقِلُ and عَقَاقِيلُ. (TA.) b3: Also, (S, O, K,) sometimes, (S, O,) and ↓ عَنْقَلٌ, (O, K,) The مَصَارِين [or intestines into which the food passes from the stomach], (S, O,) or قَانِصَة [which here probably signifies the same], (K,) of a [lizard of the species called] ضَبّ: (S, O, K:) or the [portion of fat termed] كُشْيَة of the ضَبّ. (TA.) أَطْعِمْ أَخَاكَ مِنْ عَقَنْقَلِ الضَّبِّ [Give thy brother to eat of the intestines, &c., of the dabb: or, as some relate it, مِنْ كُشْيَةِ الضَّبِّ:] is a prov., said in urging a man to make another to share in the means of subsistence; or, accord. to some, denoting derision. (TA.) b4: Also A [drinking-cup, or bowl, of the kind called] قَدَح. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) b5: And A sword. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) أَعْقَلُ, applied to a camel, Having what is termed عَقَلٌ, i. e. a twisting in the hind leg, &c.: (S, O, K: [see the last portion of the first paragraph:]) fem. عَقْلَآءُ, applied to a she-camel.

مَعْقِلٌ A place to which one betakes himself for refuge, protection, preservation, covert, or lodging; syn. مَلْجَأٌ; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ عَقْلٌ, (S, O, K,) of which the pl. is عُقُولٌ: (S, O:) but Az says that he had not heard عَقْل in this sense on any authority except that of Lth; and held العُقُولُ, which is cited as an ex. of its pl., to signify “ the protecting oneself in a mountain: ” (TA:) and مَعْقِلٌ signifies also a fortress; [like as عَقْلٌ is said to do;] syn. حِصْنٌ: (Mgh:) the pl. is مَعَاقِلُ. (TA.) Hence one says, using it metaphorically, هُوَ مَعْقِلُ قَوْمِهِ (tropical:) He is the refuge of his people: and the kings of Himyer are termed in a trad. مَعَاقِلُ الأَرْضِ, meaning The fortresses [or refuges] of the land. (TA.) b2: [It is perhaps primarily used in relation to camels; for] مَعَاقِلُ الإِبِلِ means The places in which the camels are bound with the rope called عِقَال. (TA.) مَعْقُلَةٌ and مَعْقَلَةٌ; and the pl.: see عَقْلٌ, first quarter, in five places. b2: [It seems to be implied in the S and O that the former signifies also Places that retain the rain-water.]

تَمْرٌ مَعْقِلِىٌّ, (Mgh, Msb,) or رُطَبٌ مَعْقِلِىٌّ, (S,) A certain sort of dates, (Mgh, * Msb,) [or fresh ripe dates,] of El-Basrah: (Msb:) so called in relation to Maakil Ibn-Yesár. (S, Mgh, Msb.) مُعَقَّلَةٌ is applied to camels (إِبِلٌ) as meaning Bound with the rope called عِقَال. (O, TA.) and also to a she-camel bound therewith on the occasion of her being covered: and hence the epithet مُعَقَّلَاتٌ is applied by a poet, metonymically, to women, in a similar sense. (TA.) مَعْقُولٌ [pass. part. n. of عَقَلَ in all its senses as a trans. verb. b2: Hence it signifies Intellectual, as meaning perceived by the intellect; and excogitated: thus applied as an epithet to any branch of knowledge that is not necessarily مَنْقُولٌ, which means “ desumed,” such as the science of the fundamentals of religion, and the like. b3: Hence also, Intelligible. b4: And Approved by the intellect; or reasonable.

A2: It is also said to be an inf. n.]: see 1, latter half. b2: And see عَقْلٌ, latter half, in two places.

مَعْقُولَاتٌ Intellectual things, meaning things perceived by the intellect: generally used in this sense in scientific treatises. b2: And hence, Intel-ligible things. b3: And Things approved by the intellect; or reasonable.]
