(TA [in which it is said, in another place in this art., that ↓ تَقْبِيضٌ has also this last signification; but this is evidently, in like manner, a mistranscription, for تَقْبِيضٌ.]) You say, قَبَضَ المَتَاعَ [He took, or received, the commodity, or the commodities, or goods]. (A.) And قَبَضَ مِنْهُ الدَّيْنَ [He took, or received, from him the debt]. (M, K, in art. قضى; &c.).

Whence the saying in the Kur, [ix. 68,] وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [And they draw in their hands, or refrain,] from expenditure, or from paying the [poor-rate called] زَكَاة.

And ↓ يَوْمٌ يُقَبِّضُ مَا بَيْنَ العَيْنَيْنِ (assumed tropical:) [A day that contracts, or wrinkles, the part between the eyes]; a metonymical phrase, denoting vehemence of fear, or of war. (M, TA. *) And in like manner you say, الحَشَى ↓ يَوْمٌ يُقَبِّضُ (assumed tropical:) [A day that contracts the bowels]. (M.)

(Az, TA.) قَبْضٌ and بَسْطٌ are terms applied by the investigators of truth among the Soofees to two contrary states of the heart, from both of which it is seldom or never free: the former being an affection of the heart withholding it from dilatation and joy; whether the cause thereof be known, as the remembrance of a sin or an offence, or of an omission, or be not known; and some of them make other divisions thereof. (TA.) [In like manner] you say also, عَنَّا فَمَا قَبَضَكَ ↓ اِنْقَبَضْتُ (tropical:) [Thou shrankest from us: and what made thee to shrink?].

(A.) 2 قَبَّضَ see a remark appended to the first sentence in this art. : b2: see also فَبَضَهُ as contr. of بَسَطَهُ, in six places. b3: قَبَّضَهُ المَالَ, (S, * M, K, *) or المَتَاعَ, (A,) inf. n. تَقْبِيضٌ, (S, K,) He gave to him, (S, M, K,) in his grasp, or possession, (K,) i. e. to him who should receive it, (S,) the property, (S, M,) or commodity, or commodities, or goods; (A;) i. e. he transferred it to his possession; (TA;) [lit. he made him to take it, to take it with his hand, to grasp it, or to receive it;] as also إِيَّاهُ ↓ أَقْبَضَهُ.

(S, K.) 5 تقبّض quasi-pass. of قَبَّضَهُ as contr. of بَسَطَهُ; (M;) as also ↓ اِنْقَبَضَ is of قَبَضَهُ in the same sense, (S, * M, K, *) being contr. of اِنْبَسَطَ. (S, K.)

القَبَضِ (A, Mgh) Throw thou it among the things that have been taken: (Mgh:) said to Saad Ibn-Abee- Wakkás, when he slew Sa'eed Ibn-El-'Ás, and took his sword: so in a trad. (TA.) and in another trad. it is said, جُعِلَ سَلْمَانُ عَلَى قَبَضٍ

Selmán was set over spoils that were taken and yet undivided, to guard and divide them. (Mgh.) قَبْضَةٌ: [pl. قَبَضَاتٌ:] see قَبْضٌ, in three places. b2: See also قُبْضَةٌ, in four places. b3: And see مَقْبِضٌ. b4: Also, [The measure of a man's fist, from side to side;] four finger-breadths; (Mgh, Msb, voce جَرِيبٌ;) the sixth part of the common ذِرَاع [or cubit: but in the present day, the measure of a man's fist with the thumb erect; which is about six inches and a quarter]: pl. قَبَضَاتٌ.

(TA.) قُبَضَةٌ, (K,) or قُبَضَةٌ رُفَضَةٌ, (S, M, A, TA,) to this latter, not to the former alone, the following explanation applies, (TA,) A man who lays hold upon a thing, and then leaves it without delay. (S, M, A, K.) And the former, A pastor who draws his sheep or goats together, not going far and wide in pasturing them: (S:) or who manages well (A, K) for his sheep or goats, (K,) or for his beasts, collecting them together, and, when he finds a place of pasture, spreads them abroad: (A:) and the latter, a pastor who manages well, and is gentle with his pasturing beasts, collecting them together and driving them, when their place of pasturage becomes wanting in herbage, and, when they light upon a piece of herbage, leaves them to spread abroad and pasture at pleasure: (Az, TA:) or who collects together his camels, and drives them until he brings them whithersoever he will.

(TA.) قِسْطٌ Equity; justice: (S, * M, Mgh, Msb, K: *) [an inf. n. having no proper verb, or] a subst. from أَقْسَطَ. (Mgh, Msb.) A2: Equitable; just: (S, * M, K:) an inf. n. used as an epithet, like its syn. عَدْلٌ; (M, K;) and [therefore] applied alike to a sing. n.

(So accord. to an explanation of the pl., أَقْسَاطٌ, in the TA.) b3: The means of subsistence: (K:) or the portion thereof which is the share of every created being. (TA.) يَخْفِضُ القِسْطَ وَيَرْفَعُهُ, said of God, in a trad., has been explained as meaning He maketh the portion of the means of subsistence which is the share of any created being little, and maketh it much.

Sometimes it is used for performing the ablution termed وُضُوْء: and hence it is said in a trad., إِنَّ النِّسَآءَ مِنْ أَسْفَهِ السُّفَهَآءِ

إِلَّا صَاحِبَةَ القِسْطِ وَالسِّرَاجِ; (K;) the قِسْط being here the vessel in which the وضوء is performed; (TA;) the meaning app. being, [Women are of the most lightwitted of the lightwitted,] except she who serves her husband, and assists him to perform the وضوء, [so I render تُوَضِّئُهُ,] and takes care of the vessel which he uses for that purpose, and stands at his head with the lamp: (K:) or who performs his affairs with respect to his وضوء and his lamp.

(TA.) قَاسِطٌ Declining, or deviating, from the right course; acting unjustly, wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically: pl. قَاسِطُونَ (S, M, Mgh, TA) and قُسَّاطٌ. (TA.) You say, هُوَ قَاسِطٌ غَيْرُ مُقْسِطٍ He is declining, or deviating, from the right course; &c.: not acting equitably, or justly. (TA.) And it is said in the Kur, [lxxii. 15,] أَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا [As for the deviators from the right course, they shall be fuel for hell]. (S, M, Mgh.) [See also عَادِلٌ.] b2: القَاسِطُونَ is also specially applied to The party of Mo'áwiyeh; (Mgh;) the people of Siffeen. (TA.) b3: [and it has the contr. meaning, i. e. Acting equitably, or justly.

أَقْسَطُ More [and most] equitable, just, or right: occurring in the Kur, ii. 282, and xxxiii. 5: (TA:) formed from the triliteral verb [قَسَطَ], not from the quadriliteral [أَقْسَطَ], as some assert it to be, holding it anomalous.
