(Msb, K.) And فِى الأَرْضِ ↓ صعّد He ascended the land. (Az, TA.) One says, طَالَ

↓ فِى الأَرْضِ تَصْوِيبِى وَتَصْعِيدِى [Long have continued my descending, or going down, and my ascending, or going up, in the land]. (A. [There immediately following صَعَّدَ فِى الجَبَلِ, expl. above: see also رَكَبٌ مُصَعِّدٌ.]) A2: See also 4, last sentence.2 صعّد, inf. n. تَصْعِيدٌ, as intrans.: see above, in four places. b2: And see also 4, in four places.

A2: صعّدهُ He made him, or caused him, to ascend, or mount; syn. عَلَّاهُ; (K and TA in art. علو;) and رَقَّاهُ; (TA in art. رقى;) [and so ↓ اصعدهُ; and ↓ استصعدهُ; like as one says in the contr. sense نَزَّلَهُ and أَنْزَلَهُ and اِسْتَنْزَلَهُ.] You say, صعّدهُ جَبَلًا and دَابَّةٌ [He made him to ascend, or mount, a mountain and a beast]. (TA in art. علو.) and فِى الجَبَلِ ↓ يُصْعِدُونَهَا is said with reference to wild bulls or cows [as meaning They make them to ascend upon the mountain]. (S and TA in art. سلع.) b2: [Hence,] one says also, صَعَّدَ فِىَّ النَّظَرَ وَصَوَّبَهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He looked at me from head to foot, contemplating me. (L, from a trad. [and a similar phrase occurs in Har p. 640.]) b3: [صعّدهُ, inf. n. تَصْعِيدٌ, (the latter as used in the K voce كَافُورٌ,) also signifies (assumed tropical:) He sublimated it: often occurring in medical books, and used in this sense in the present day.] b4: And تَصْعِيدٌ signifies also The act of liquifying, melting, or dissolving. (K.) A3: See also 4, last sentence.4 اصعد فِى المَكَانِ: see 1. b2: [Hence,] اصعد فِى الأَرْضِ He went through the land towards a land higher than the other [from which he came]: (A, TA:) taken from the saying of Lth, that اصعد, inf. n. إِصْعَادٌ, signifies He went towards a declivity, or a river, or a valley, higher than the other [from which he came]. (TA.) And اصعد فِى البِلَادِ He went up, or upwards, through the countries, or lands. (AA, Msb.) And اصعد مِنْ بَلَدِ كَذَا إِلَى بَلَدِ كَذَا He journeyed [upwards] from such a region, or town, to such another region, or town; from one that was lower to one that was higher. (Msb.) [And hence,] اصعد, inf. n. إِصْعَادٌ, He journeyed, or went, towards Nejd, and El-Hijáz, and El-Yemen: [or towards a higher region:] and اِنْحَدَرَ signifies “ he journeyed, or went, towards El-'Irák, and Syria, and 'Omán: ” (ISk, on the authority of 'Omárah:) or the former, he journeyed, or went, towards the Kibleh: and the latter, “he journeyed, or went, towards El-'Irák: ” (Aboo-Sakhr, T:) or the former, he came to Mekkeh; (K;) but this is a defective explanation: (TA:) and مُصْعَدٌ, also, is used as an inf. n. of this verb; and مُنْحَدَرٌ, as an inf. n. of انحدر: (T, TA:) or اصعد, inf. n. إِصْعَادٌ, he commenced a journey, or went forth; as from Mekkeh, and from ElKoofeh to Khurásán, and the like: (Fr:) or he commenced a journey, or the like, in any direction: and انحدر signifies “ he returned, from any town or country. ” (Ibn-'Arafeh.) And اصعد فِى الأَرْضِ, (Akh, S, K,) or فى البِلَادِ, (Akh accord. to the T,) He went away, and journeyed, through the land, (Akh, S, K,) or through the countries, (Akh, T,) in any direction. (L.) and اصعدت السَّفِينَةُ, inf. n. إِصْعَادٌ; (L;) or ↓ صعّدت; (A;) The ship spread her sail, and was borne along by the wind, (A, L,) upwards [app. meaning up a river or the like]. (L.) b3: اصعد فِى الوَادِى; (Akh, S, L, K;) and فِيهِ ↓ صعّد, inf. n. تَصْعِيدٌ; (Akh, S, Msb, K;) and ↓ اِصَّعَّدَ, (Lth,) but this last is disapproved by Az; (TA;) He descended, or went down, into the valley, (Akh, S, L, Msb, K,) from the part whence the torrent comes; not going to the bottom of the valley: and in like manner, اصعد فِى الأَرْضِ He descended, or went down, into the land: (L:) and فِى الجَبَلِ ↓ صعّد He descended the mountain; as well as he ascended it. (IB, L.) Akh cites the following words of 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Hemmám Es-Saloolee, طَوْرًا فِى البِلَادِ وَأُفْرِعُ ↓ أُصَعِّدُ (S, L,) as meaning I descending, or going down, at one time, through the countries, and [another time] ascending, or going up: this, says IB, is what induced Akh to explain صعّد as he has done; but it presents no proof, because إِفْرَاعٌ has two contr. significations, that of إِصْعَادٌ and that of اِنْحِدَارٌ: and accord. to Az, by أُصَعِّدُ the poet means I ascending, or going up, to high places; and by أُفْرِعُ, the contrary. (L.) b4: اصعد also signifies He advanced towards another. (L.) b5: And He went far; syn. أَبْعَدَ. (Ham p. 22.) b6: And اصعد فِى العَدْوِ He exerted himself vehemently in running. (L.)

A2: تصعّدهُ (S, A, K) and ↓ تصاعدهُ (A, K) It (a thing, S, K, or an affair, A) was, or became, difficult, or distressing, to him; it distressed, or afflicted, him: (A'Obeyd, S, A, K:) from صَعُودٌ as signifying “ a mountain-road difficult of ascent: ” (A' Obeyd:) or from الصَّعُودٌ as the name of “ a certain mountain in Hell. ” (TA.) 6 تصاعد, and its var. اِصَّاعَدَ: see 1: A2: and see also 5.8 اصطعد, and its var. اِصَّعَدَ: see 1, in two places.10 استصعدهُ: see 2. b2: استصعد البَرِيرَ He plucked or gathered, the fruit of the أَرَاك to eat.

(TA.) صُعُدٌ an inf. n. of صَعِدَ [q. v.]. (Ham p. 407.) [Hence,] ذَهَبَ السَّهْمُ صُعُدًا [The arrow went upwards]. (A.) And هٰذَا النَّبَاتُ يَنْمِى صُعُدًا This plant increases in height. (S.) And تَنَفَّسَ صُعُدًا: see صُعَدَآءُ. And ↓ مِنْ صُعْدٍ [used by poetic license for من صُعُدٍ], said of a thing falling, i. e. From above; from a higher place. (Ham p. 349.) A2: Also a pl. of صَعُودٌ: and of صَعِيدٌ. (S, L, K.) A3: صُعُدٌ, thus, with two dammehs, is also the name of A certain tree from which pitch is melted forth. (L.) صَعْدَةٌ A high, or an elevated, piece of land or ground; contr. of هَبْطَةٌ. (Mgh in art. هبط.) And صَعْدَةُ is said to be a proper name for The earth. (Ham p.22.) b2: And A she-ass: (L, K:) or a long-backed she-ass: (L:) or long [in the back], applied to a she-ass as an epithet, and therefore the pl. is صَعْدَاتٌ, with the ع quiescent. (Ham p. 385.) And بَنَاتُ صَعْدَةَ Wild asses: (S, K:) said to be so called from صَعْدَةُ meaning as expl. above; and if this be correct, it is like the appellation بَنَاتُ البَرِّ: (Ham p. 22:) or as being likened to the women [or rather woman (as will be shown in what follows)] termed صعدة; and in like manner, أَوْلَادُ صَعْدَةَ: (Har p. 471:) the rel. n. [applied to a single wild ass] is ↓ صَاعِدِىٌّ, (S, L, K,) irregularly formed: thus in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, فَرَمَى فَأَلْحَقَ صَاعِدِيًّا مِطْحَرًا بِالكَشْحِ فَاشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَضْلُعُ [And he shot, and made a far-flying arrow to reach a wild ass in the flank, and the ribs enclosed it]. (S, L.) b3: And A spear, or spear-shaft; syn. قَنَاةٌ: (L:) a spear-shaft (قَنَاةٌ) straight by its growth, (S, L, K,) not requiring to be straightened: (S, L:) and a kind of أَلَّة [or broad-headed dart], which is smaller than a حَرْبَة: (L:) or [simply] an أَلَّة: (K, TA:) [in the CK اٰلَة: and] in some copies of the K أَكَمَة, which is a mistranscription: (TA:) pl. صِعَادٌ and صَعَدَاتٌ; (L;) the latter with fet-h to the ع because it is a subst.

(see art. حمو)]: (Kh, As, ISk, Msb:) and the father or brother or other kinsman of a man's wife: (Kh, As, ISk, S, Msb, K:) so accord. to some of the Arabs: (Kh, As, S, Msb:) or none says otherwise, accord. to As, and IAar says the like: (Mgh:) or any relation of a man's wife or of a woman's husband whom it is unlawful to marry; as the father, and brother, and son, and paternal uncle, and maternal uncle: (Az, Msb:) or a man's relation by marriage: and a kinsman of a man's relation by marriage: (A:) or a man who has married among a people: (Lth, Mgh:) and the husband of a man's daughter: and the husband of a man's sister: (IAar, K:) Fr says that, in the Kur xxv. 56, it signifies, a relation whom it is lawful to marry; as the daughter of a paternal uncle, and of a maternal uncle, and the like: and نَسَب in the same, a relation whom it is unlawful to marry: Zj, that the former signifies a relation whom it is unlawful to marry: and the latter, such as is not a صِهْر, of those mentioned in the Kur [iv. 27], from the words “ your mothers are forbidden unto you ” to the words “ and your combining [as your wives] two sisters: ” I'Ab explains نسب and صهر in the former passage of the Kur differently from Fr [altogether], and differently in part from Zj; saying that the former applies to the seven relations first mentioned in iv. 27 in the Kur, and صهر to the remaining six there mentioned and that mentioned in the next preceding verse; [so that it includes a man's foster-mother, who has suckled him; his fostersister, who has been suckled with him; his wife's mother; his step-daughter under his guardianship, born of his wife unto whom he has gone in; his son's wife; his wife's sister combined with that wife; and his father's wife;] and this, says Az, is correct: (Mgh:) in the Kur xxv. 56, it means ذُو صِهْرٍ, whether male or female: (Jel:) or ذَوَاتُ صِهْرٍ: (Bd:) pl. أَصْهَارٌ (S, A, Msb, K, &c.) and صُهْرَآءُ; (K;) which latter is extr. (TA.) [صِهْرَةٌ, applied to a female, pl. ضِهَرَاتٌ, is app. postclassical.] b3: And (tropical:) A grave, or sepulchre: (ISd, K:) for they used to bury their daughters alive, and say, “We have married them to the grave: ”

then, in the time of El-Islám, this expression was used, and it was said, نِعْمَ الصِّهْرُ الــقَبْرُ [An excel-lent son-in-law is the grave]: or it means, correctly, that which supplies the place of the صهر. (ISd.) صِهْرِىٌّ i. q. صِهْرِيجٌ [q. v.]; (K;) a dial. var. of the latter word; signifying A thing like a حَوْض [or watering-trough, or tank]: (S:) accord. to Az, a construction of clay and stones, built between [and across] two narrow branches (مَأْزِمَانِ) of a small water-course (شُعْبَة) of a valley, so that the water is kept back thereby, and they drink from it a long time. (TA.) صَهُورٌ A melter of fat: and a roaster, broiler, or frier: pl. صُهْرٌ. (K.) صَهِيرٌ [i. q. ↓ مَصْهُورٌ as meaning] Melted, or liquefied. (S, K.) [And used also as a subst., in the sense of صُهَارَةٌ.] b2: Also Bread seasoned with صُهَارَة; and so ↓ مَصْهُورٌ.

صَاهُورٌ The sheath of the moon. (K. [See what is meant thereby voce سَاهُورٌ; of which it is a dial. var. in this sense, and app. in other senses also.]) صَيْهُورٌ A thing (A, O, K, TA) like a منْبَر [or pulpit], of clay, (K, TA,) or of wood, (TA,) for the household utensils of brass (A, O, K, TA) and the like, (O, K,) which are put thereon: (A, O:) but ISd says that it is not of established authority. (TA.) مَصْهُورٌ: see صَهِيرٌ, in two places.

(O and K * in art. شرج.) You say, ↓ تَكَلَّمَ فُلَانٌ بِكَلِمَةٍ فَسَرَجَ عَلَيْهَا بِأُسْرُوجَةٍ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one spoke a word, or sentence, and followed it with a lie].

(O.) A4: [سَرَجَ, aor. ـُ expl. as signifying “ Ephippio instruxit instravitve equum ” by Golius and Freytag, by the latter as on the authority of the S and K, I do not find in either of those lexicons, nor in any other.

(L.)

(TA.) [Hence,] one says, سَرِّجْ إِلَيْهِ أَمْرَكَ (assumed tropical:) Embellish and elucidate thou to him thy affair, or case. (Ham p. 326.) b2: And i. q. وَفَّقَهُ (assumed tropical:) [He accommodated, adapted, or disposed, him, or it, to a right course, or issue].

(A.) b3: And, as being likened thereto, (tropical:) Fasting, or a faster: (A:) or a faster who keeps to the mosques: (K:) the faster is said to be thus called because he who journeys as a devotee does so without having any provision with him, and eats only when he finds provision: therefore the faster is likened to him. (TA.) السَّائِحُونَ in the Kur ix. 113 means (tropical:) The fasters: (Bd, Jel, TA:) so say Zj and I'Ab and Ibn-Mes'ood: (TA:) or those who observe the obligatory fasts: or those who fast constantly: (TA:) or those who journey to war against unbelievers, or to seek knowledge.

(ISh, TA.) So too applied to locusts (جَرَاد); (K;) and with ة applied to a single locust [i. e.

جَرَادَة]: (TA:) or, applied to locusts, it means marked with black and yellow and white stripes or streaks. (As, TA.) It is also applied as an epithet to the [bird called] حَيْقُطَان.

Sh derives it, not from السِّيَاحَةُ, but, from تَسْيِيحُ الثَّوْبِ. (L, TA.)

(Bd in ii. 32.) And ↓ اسجد He lowered his head, and bent himself; (AA, S, Mgh, K;) said of a man; (AA, S, Mgh;) and put his forehead on the ground: (Mgh:) and likewise said of a camel; (S, A;) in the latter case tropical; (A;) as also سَجَدَ; (A, Mgh, Msb;) meaning (tropical:) he lowered his head, (S, A, Mgh, Msb,) to be ridden, (S, Mgh,) or to his rider, (A,) or on the occasion of his being ridden, or mounted.

He used to lower himself, or bend himself down, to the arrow passing beyond the butt, going over it; which they used to reckon like that which hit the butt; meaning that he used to concede to the shooter thereof: or, accord. to Az, it means that he used to lower his head when his arrow was elevated [too high] above the object shot at, in order that the arrow might be rightly directed, and might hit the circle. (TA.) b4: And [as salutation is often accompanied with a bending of the body,] سُجُودٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) The act of saluting. (L, TA.)

(Bd, Jel.) The سُجُود of inanimate things to God we understand, in the Kur, as denoting obedience to that whereto they are made subservient, and as a fact to be believed without inquiry into the manner thereof. (I'Ab, L.) A2: Also He stood erect: (Lth, Msb, K:) so in the dial. of Teiyi. (Msb.) It is said in the K, immediately after the mention of the first signification and this last, that thus the verb has two contr. meanings: but it may be said that there is no [necessary, or absolute,] contrariety between الخُضُوع and الاِنْتِصَاب. (MF.) A3: سَجِدَتْ رِجْلُهُ, aor. ـَ (tropical:) His leg became inflated, or swollen.

(L.) b2: وَ ادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا, in the Kur [ii. 55 and vii. 161], means And enter ye the gate bending down your heads: (I'Ab, K:) it was a narrow [or low] gate.

مِنْ خَيْرِ ذِى نَطَفٍ أَغَنَّ مُنَطَّقٍ

وَافَى بِهَا لِدَرَاهِمِ الإِأَسْجَادِ [Of the wine of one with earrings, having a nasal twang, girded with a waist-belt, i. e., of a foreigner: he brought it for what are termed دراهم الاسجاد], (S, * O, K, but in the copies of the K كَدَرَاهِم, [which I think a mistranscription,]) means dirhems whereon were effigies to which people performed the act of سُجُود: (S, O, K:) it is said that upon them was the effigy of Kisrà, and he who beheld them lowered his head to them and showed humility [as the Persians in the present day do to the picture of their King]: (IAmb, TA:) or الأَسْجَاد means the tax called جِزْيَة: (O, K:) so says AO, (O,) or A 'Obeyd: (TA:) or the Jews and the Christians: (O, K:) some say the former and some say the latter: (O:) and it is read with kesr to the ء, and expl. as meaning the Jews, (O, K,) by IAar. (O.) [Whatever be the signification of the last word, the verse plainly means, “of wine of a foreigner, sold by him for foreign money. ”]

مَسْجَدٌ The forehead, (S, K,) where is the mark made by the سُجُوَد [or prostration in prayer]. (S.) [Said in the TA to be tropical; but not so accord. to the A.] And sing. of مَسَاجِدُ which signifies The parts of a man that are the places of سُجُود; (Lth, Mgh, Msb, L;) المَسَاجِدُ meaning the forehead, the nose, the hands, the knees, and the feet: (Mgh, L:) or the forehead, the hands, and the knees: (Mgh:) or the seven آرَاب; (S, K;) namely, the forehead, the hands, the knees, and the feet: (TA in art. ارب:) such, accord. to some, is its meaning in the Kur lxxii. 18. (L.) b2: See also the next paragraph, in two places.

مَسْجِدٌ [Any place in which one performs the act of سُجُود, or acts of worship or devotion; and particularly a mosque; a Muslim temple; an oratory;] a house in which one performs the act of سُجُود; (IB;) a house of prayer; (Mgh, Msb;) any place in which one performs acts of worship or devotion: (Zj:) a word of well-known meaning; (K;) sing. of مَسَاجِدُ; (S, Mgh, K;) and also pronounced ↓ مَسْجَدٌ: (S, K:) this latter word signifies, accord. to IAar, the مِحْرَاب [here meaning oratory, or place of private prayer,] of a house; and the place of prayer of the congregations; (TA;) or it signifies any of the parts of the ground, as well as of the body, that are the places of سُجُود: (Lth, L:) or the place of the forehead [on the ground in the act of prostration in prayer]. (IB.) Fr says, (S,) the مَفْعل of every verb of the class of فَعَلَ having its aor. of the measure يَفْعُلُ is with fet-h to the medial radical letter, whether it be a subst, or an inf. n., (S, K,) without any difference, so that you say, دَخَلَ مَدْخَلًا, and هٰذَا مَدْخَلُهُ; (S;) except some words (S, K) among substs., (S,) as مَسْجِدٌ and مَطْلِعٌ (S, K) and مَغْرِبٌ (S) and مَشْرِقٌ and مَسْقِطٌ and مَفْرِقٌ and مَجْزِرٌ and مَسْكِنٌ and مَرْفِقٌ (S, K) from رَفَقَ, aor. ـْ (S,) and مَنْبِتٌ and مَنْسِكٌ (S, K) from نَسَكَ, aor. ـْ (S;) these being with kesr (S, K) to the medial radical letter (K) as a sign of their being substs.; but sometimes some of the Arabs pronounce it with fet-h in the subst.: مَسْكِنٌ and مَسْكَنٌ have been transmitted; and we have heard المَسْجِدُ and ↓ المَسْجَدُ, and المَطْلِعُ and المَطْلَعُ: and he further says, (S,) fet-h is allowable, (S, K,) in all of these, (S,) even if we have not heard it: but when the verb is of the class of فَعَلَ having its aor. of the measure يَفْعِلُ, the n. of place [or time] is with kesr, and the inf. n. is with fet-h, to distinguish the one from the other; so that you say, نَزَلَ مَنْزَلًا, meaning نُزُولًا, and هٰذَا مَنْزِلُةُ, meaning دَارُهُ. (S, K. *) b2: [Hence مَسْجِدٌ جَامِعٌ A congregational mosque; i. e. a mosque in which a congregation assembles to perform the Friday-prayers.] المَسْجِدُ الحَرَامُ [The sacred mosque of Mekkeh].

(KL. [See the pass. part. n. of this last, below.]) The first is also said of قريض [app. a mistranscription for قريص, which may be syn. with قَارِصٌ, meaning “ sour milk,” for this has an effect like intoxication when too much of it has been drunk]; and thus applied it is tropical.

(TA.) سُكْرٌ an inf. n., (A, Mgh, K,) or a simple subst., signifying Intoxication, inebriation, or drunkenness; i. e. the state thereof; (S, Msb;) a state that intervenes as an obstruction between a man and his intellect; mostly used in relation to intoxicating drinks: but sometimes as meaning (assumed tropical:) such a state arising from anger, or from the passion of love: a poet says, سُكْرَانِ سُكْرُ هَوًى وَسُكْرُ مُدَامَةٍ

أَنَّى يُفِيقُ فَتًى بِهِ سُكْرَانِ [Two intoxications, the intoxication of love and the intoxication of wine: how shall a youth recover his senses in whom are two intoxications?]. (Er-Rághib, TA.) سِكْرٌ a subst. from السَّكْرُ (Mgh, K) as meaning “ the stopping up, or damming,” of the river, or rivulet; (K;) i. e. A dam; a thing with which a river, or rivulet, is stopped up; (S, * Msb, K, TA;) and ↓ سَكْرٌ, originally an inf. n., occurs in the same sense: (Mgh:) the pl. of the former is سُكُورٌ.

(TA.) سَكِرٌ: see سَكْرَانُ: b2: and سِكِيرٌ.

(S, * A, Mgh, K.) And in like manner, سَكْرَةُ الهَمِ, (K,) and النَّوْمِ, (TA,) (tropical:) The oppressive sensation, &c., attendant upon anxiety, (K,) and upon sleep. (TA.) سَكَرَةٌ I. q. شَيْلَمٌ; (K;) [or resembling the شَيْلَم; (see زُؤَانٌ;) a certain plant, app. called by the former name because a decoction thereof is used as an anæsthetic; said to be] the same that is called مُرَيْرَآءُ, that is [often found] in wheat. (TA.) سَكْرَانُ (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and سَكْرَانٌ, (TA,) which latter is seldom used, and is of the dial. of the Benoo-Asad, as is said in the S and Msb of its fem., (TA,) and ↓ سَكْرٌ; (K; [in the TA ↓ سَكِرٌ, but this is afterwards mentioned in the K as an intensive epithet;]) fem.

(TA.) Th says that the words of the Kur [iv. 46] لَا تَقْرَبُواالصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى [Engage ye not in prayer when ye are intoxicated] was said before the prohibition of wine was revealed: others say that the meaning is, when ye are intoxicated with sleep.

(TA.) b2: Also Like سُكَّر [or sugar] in sweetness: so used by Aboo-Ziyád El-Kilábee. (TA.) b3: Also A certain kind of sweet fresh ripe dates; (K;) a sort of fresh ripe dates, likened to sugar in sweetness: (Mgh:) or a kind of very sweet dates; (AHát, T, Msb;) known to the people of ElBahreyn, (T,) and in Sijilmáseh and Dar'ah, and, as some say, in El-Medeeneh, where, how-ever, they require to be dried artificially.

AHn] says, it is of the plants that continue green throughout the whole of the summer: I asked a sheykh of the Arabs of Syria, and he said, it is the سُخَر, [correctly سُخَّر,] and we eat it in its fresh state, with what an eating! and, he said, it has green grains, like the grain of the رَازِيَانَج [or fennel], except that they are round: (O:) [in the present day, it is applied to henbane, or a species thereof: accord. to Forskål, (Flora Aegypt.
