(TA.) And [they use this verb transitively, saying,] زَرَعْتُ البُرَّ وَالشَّعِيرَ [I sowed wheat and barley]: and in like manner, زَرَعْتُ الشَّجَرَ [I sowed the trees; or sowed the seeds which should produce the trees: or it may signify I planted the trees]. (Ibn-Abi-l-Hadeed.) and زَرَعَ الحُبَّ لَكَ فِى القُلُوبِ كَرَمُكَ وَحُسْنُ خُلُقِكَ (tropical:) [Thy generosity and the goodness of thy disposition have sown love for thee in the hearts]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلِيَزْرَعْهَا أَوْ لِيَمْنَحْهَا أَخَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلِيُمْسِكْ أَرْضَهُ [Whoso hath land,] let him sow it [or let him lend it, or give it, to his brother; and if he refuse, let him retain his land].

(Mgh, Msb;) The verb is properly thus used of divine affairs, exclusively of human: (Er-Rághib:) and hence the saying in the Kur [lvi. 63-4], أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا تَحْرُثُونَ أَأَنْتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَّارِعُونَ (S, * Er-Rághib) Now think ye, what ye sow, do ye cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth? (Bd:) or, as some say, do ye cause it to increase, or are We the causers of its increase? the حَرْث [or sowing] being ascribed to them, and the زَرْع [or causing to grow] exclusively to God: when the latter is ascribed to a man, it is because he is an agent as a means of making to grow; as when you say, أَنْبَتُّ كَذَا (assumed tropical:) I was a means of causing such a thing to grow. (Er-Rághib.) [In like manner,] you say, زَرْعًا ↓ اِزْدَرَعَ, meaning (tropical:) [He raised seed-produce, i. e., was a means of causing it to grow,] for himself, in particular. (TA.) b4: [Hence,] one says, with respect to a child, زَرَعَهُ اللّٰهُ (tropical:) May God render him sound and strong; syn. جَبَرَهُ: (S, K, TA:) like as one says أَنْبَتَهُ اللّٰهُ: and in like manner, زَرَعَ اللّٰهُ وَلَدَكَ لِلْخَيْرِ (tropical:) [May God render thine offspring sound and strong, or rather, cause thine offspring to grow up, for the doing, or enjoyment, of what is good]. (TA.) b5: [Hence also,] زُرِعَ لَهُ بَعْدُ شَقَاوَةٍ (tropical:) [An increase was made for him after adversity; or] he obtained property after want; for the verb in this instance is like عُنِىَ. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) 3 مُزَارَعَةٌ is of the measure مُفَاعَلَةٌ, [denoting a mutual action,] from الزِّرَاعَةُ, (Mgh,) and its signification is well known; (S;) i. e. (tropical:) The making a contract, or bargain, with another, for labour upon land, [to till and sow and cultivate it, as is indicated in the Mgh and Msb,] for a share, or portion, of its produce, (Msb, K, TA,) the seed being from the owner of the land. (K, TA.) [You say, زَارَعَهُ (tropical:) He made with him a contract, or bargain, such as is above described; and in like manner, خَابَرَهُ, and آكَرَهُ. The doing this is forbidden, because of the uncertainty of the result.]4 ازرع It (a plant, or herbage,) had, or became in the state of having, زَرْع [i. e. produce of its seed; i. e. it grew from its seed]: (TA:) and, said of زَرْع [or seed-produce], it became tall: (K:) or, as some say, it produced its leaves: and it attained to the proper time for its being reaped. (TA.) b2: ازرع النَّاسُ signifies أَمْكَنَهُمُ الزَّرْعُ [expl. in the TK as meaning The men, or people, became able to sow seed; i. e., became possessors of seed: but I rather think that it means they had seedproduce within their power, or reach; they became able to avail themselves thereof; or they attained to a season when they had seed produce].

(TA.) زَرْعٌ, originally an inf. n., [see 1,] (Mgh, Msb, TA,) used as a subst. properly so termed, signitying Seed-produce; what is raised by means of sowing; (Mgh, Msb;) what is sown; (K, TA;) while in growth, [i. e. standing corn, and the like,] (K and TA voce أَزْرَعَ,) and also after it has been reaped; (S and Msb and K in art. رفع, &c.;) its predominant application is to wheat and barley; (TA;) but it signifies also plants, or herbage, [in general,] such as one reaps; or, as some say, only while fresh and juicy: (Msb:) [and often a sown field:] pl. زُرُوعٌ.

(TA.) زَرْعَةٌ and ↓ زُرْعَةٌ and ↓ زِرْعَةٌ and ↓ زَرَعَةٌ A place in which to sow. (AHn, Sgh, K.) You say, مَا فِى الأَرْضِ زَرْعَةٌ, &c., (K,) or زَرْعَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ, &c., and in like manner, عَلَى الأَرْضِ, (TA,) There is not in the land, (K,) or upon the land, (TA,) a place, (K,) or a single place, (TA,) in which to sow.

1 زَرْبٌ [as an inf. n.] signifies The constructing a زَرِيبَة, (K, TA,) i. e. an enclosure of wood, (TA,) for sheep, or goats: (K, TA:) you say, زَرَبْتُ الغَنَمَ, aor. ـْ inf. n. زَرْبٌ: (TA:) [or this, I think, is a mistake for what here follows:] زَرَبْتُ لِلْغَنَمِ, aor. ـْ inf. n. زَرْبٌ (Ks, S:) [i. e. I constructed an enclosure of wood for the sheep or goats: this meaning is plainly indicated, though not expressed, in the S and TA:] but in some copies of the K, in the place of بِنَآءُ الزَّرِيبَةِ لِلْغَنَمِ, as explaining الزَّرْبُ, we find بنات الزريبة الغنم [meaning that ↓ بَنَاتُ الزَّرِيبَةِ signifies sheep, or goats]. (TA.) b2: And زَرَبَ البَهْمَ فِى زَرْبِهَا or زَرِيبَتِهَا He put the بهم [i. e. lambs or kids, or young lambs or kids,] into their place [or enclosure of wood]. (A. [And the like is said in the Ham p. 195.]) A2: زَرِبَ, aor. ـَ (K, TA,) said of water, (TA,) It flowed; (K, TA;) like سَرِبَ. (TA.) 7 انزرب البَهْمُ فِى الزَّرْبُ The بهم [i. e. lambs or kids, or young lambs or kids,] entered into the زرب [or enclosure of wood].

(TA.) b4: See also the next paragraph.

زِرْبٌ: see the next preceding paragraph. b2: Also A channel in which water flows; (K;) and so ↓ زَرْبٌ. (TA.) It is said in a rejez of Kaab, تَبِيتُ بَيْنَ الزِّرْبِ وَالكَنِيفِ She passes the night between the channel of water and the concealing, or protecting, place: meaning that she is fed in the enclosures for camels &c., [فِى الحظائر, thus I read for الحضائر (an evident mistranscription) in the TA,] and among the tents, or houses; not in the pasture-land. (TA.) زِرْبِىٌّ and زُرْبِىٌّ, (K,) or, accord. to the L [and the A], on the authority of IAar, ↓ زَرْبِيَّةٌ, also said to be written زِرْبِيَّةٌ and زُرْبِيَّةٌ, (TA,) are sings. of ↓ زَرَابِىُّ, (K, TA,) which signifies نَمَارِقُ [app. as meaning Small pillows]: (S, A, K:) and carpets: or any things which are spread, and upon which one leans, or reclines: (A, K:) the like of this is said by Zj in explaining a phrase in which it occurs in the Kur lxxxviii. 16: or, accord. to Fr, it signifies carpets (طَنَافِس) having a fine nap, or pile: (TA:) also, [particularly,] (A,) carpets (قُطُوع, A, or طَنَافِس, Har p. 377) of the fabric of El-Heereh; and the like thereof in fabric: (A, and Har ubi suprà:) or ↓ زربيّة signifies [simply] a carpet (طِنْفِسَةٌ): and a carpet (بِسَاط) having a nap, or pile: and a [piece of leather that is spread upon the ground, such as is called] نِطَع: and the like thereof in make. (TA.

(A.) The following saying, of Artáh Ibn-Suheiyeh, وَنَحْنُ بَنُو عَمٍّ عَلَى ذَاتِ بَيْنِنَا فِيهَا بِغْضَةٌ وَتَنافُسُ ↓ زَرَابِىُّ is expl. by En-Nemiree as meaning (assumed tropical:) [And we are sons of a paternal uncle, but] upon our enmity is a comely covering beneath which it is latent; [therein are vehement hatred and envious competition;] زَرَابِىُّ signifying [properly] carpets of sundry colours: (Ham p. 196:) it is also said to mean, in this instance, (assumed tropical:) [concealed] enmities, and sayings that give pain; [the former of these two meanings being] from زَرَبْتُ البَهْمَ فِى الزَّرِيبَةِ, i. e. أَدْخَلْتُهُ: [the latter of them app. suggested by another reading, namely, زَأَانِبُ in the place of زَرَابِىُّ; mentioned and thus explained in the Ham ubi suprà: the poet, therefore, is supposed to have meant, upon our state of union, or concord, (ذات بيننا having two contr. significations,) have supervened concealed enmities, &c.:] or, as some say, the reading in the deewán of Artáh is زَرَائِبُ, as though pl. of ↓ زَرِيبَةٌ, which is likewise made to denote enmity because it is made to enter (تُزْرَبُ, i. e. تُدْخَلُ,) into the heart; or which may be metaphorically applied to a place of enmity latent in the bosom, from the same word as signifying the “ place in which are put lambs, or kids, and sheep, or goats: ” or, supposing the right reading to be ↓ زَرَابِىُّ, the poet may very properly mean, upon the vacant space between our tents, or houses, are carpets (طَنَافِس and بُسُط) spread for us, and we sit thereon, near together in the places, but with the hearts remote: (idem p. 195:) but with the reading زَأَانِبُ, mentioned above, occurs another variation, thus: عَلَى ذَاكَ بَيْنَنَا زَأَانِبُ; meaning, notwithstanding that, between us are sayings that give pain. (Idem p. 196.) b2: ↓ وَيْلٌ لِلزَّرْبِيَّةِ, occurring in a trad., is said to mean (tropical:) Wo to those who go in to lords, or princes, and, when they say what is evil, or say anything, say, He has spoken truth: such persons being likened, in respect of their variable conduct, to one of the زَرَابِىّ mentioned above in the first sentence of this paragraph; or to sheep, or goats, which are thus called in relation to the زَرْب, i. e. the enclosure to which they repair, because they are obsequious to the lords, or princes, and follow their steps with the submissiveness of sheep or goats to their pastor. (TA.) b3: Accord. to El-Muärrij, (TA,) ↓ زَرَابِىُّ is applied to plants, as meaning Such as have become yellow, or red, while having in them greenness: (K, TA:) and when they saw the colours in carpets and other articles of furniture that are spread, they likened them to such plants. (TA.) زَرْبِيَّةٌ and زِرْبِيَّةٌ and زُرْبِيَّةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places. b2: [Golius, finding the second and third of these words expl. by the Pers\. شادروان, (which is often applied by Arabs in the present day to “ an artificial fountain that throws up water,”) has erroneously, as Freytag has observed, supposed that they may signify “ Euripus, fons in altum saliens. ”]

زَرِيبَةٌ: see زَرْبٌ, in two places: and see 1, first sentence. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) The lurking-place of a beast of prey. (S, K.) b3: See also زِرْبِىٌّ.

(K.) b2: And Anything yellow. (K.) A2: Also A certain black singingbird; (MF, TA;) called also ابو زولق, [app. a mistranscription for ابو زريق, as in Freytag's Lex., i. e. أَبُو زُرَيْقٍ,] accord. to the book entitled “ Mantik et-Teyr. ” (TA.) مِزْرَــابٌ i. q. مِرْزَابٌ [q. v., said to be not a chaste word].

(M, K.) A5: قَصَرَهُ, (S, M, Msb,) aor. ـُ (S, M,) inf. n. قَصْرٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) He confined, restricted, limited, kept within certain bounds or limits, restrained, withheld, hindered or prevented, him, or it; syn. حَبَسَهُ.

(Az, TA in art. خمر: see 10 in that art.) Yousay also قَصَرْتُ الدَّارَ, inf. n. as above, I [confined and so] defended the house by walls. (TA.) and قَصَرَ الجَارِيَةَ بِالْحِجَابِ He [confined and so] kept safe the girl by means of the veil, or covering, or the like: and in like manner you say of a horse. (TA.)

(TA.) and one says قَصَرْتُ نَفْسِى عَلَى الشَّىْءِ I confined, or restricted, myself to the thing, and obliged myself to do it. (TA.)

(TA.) You say also قَصَرْتُ الشَّىْءَ عَلَى كَذَا I restricted the thing to such a thing. (S, TA.) And قَصَرَهُ عَلَى الأَمْرِ, meaning, رَدَّهُ إِلَيْهِ, (M, K,) i. e., [He reduced him, to the thing, or affair; or] he appropriated him [or it, restrictively,] to the thing, or affair. (TK.) [Hence,] قَصَرْتُ اللِّقْحَةَ عَلَى فَرَسِى I appropriated the milk of the milch-camel [restrictively] to my horse. (S, TA.) [And hence,] قَصَرْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِى نَاقَةً I retained for myself [restrictively] a she-camel, that I might drink her milk. (Msb.) Aboo-Du-ád says, describing a horse, فَقُصِرْنَ الشِّتَآءَ بَعْدُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ لِلذَّوْدِ أَنْ يُقَسَّمْنَ جَارٌ meaning, So they were restricted to him, that he might drink their milk, during the severity of the winter, afterwards; and he is a protector to the few she-camels from their being suddenly attacked and divided in shares; مِنْ being understood before أَنْ.

(TA.) Sb says, that قَصْرٌ has no dim.; the Arabs being content to use in its stead the dim. of مَسَآءٌ. (M.) You say أَتَيْتُهُ قَصْرًا I came to him in the afternoon, or evening; syn. عَشِيًّا.
