(TA.) And جُنَّ عَنْهُ meansIt (anything) was veiled, concealed, or hidden, from him. (K.) b2: He concealed it; namely, a dead body; as also ↓ اجنّهُ: (S, TA:) or the latter, he wrapped it in grave-clothing: (K:) and he buried it. (TA.) And الشَّىْءَ فِى صَدْرِى ↓ أَجْنَنْتُ I concealed the thing in my bosom. (S.) and وَلَدًا ↓ أَجَنَّتْ, (S,) or جَنِينًا, (K,) said of a woman, (S,) or a pregnant female, (K,) She concealed [or enveloped in her womb a child, or an embryo, or a fœtus]. (TA.) A2: جَنَّ, aor. ـِ inf. n. جِنٌّ, It (an embryo, or a fœtus,) was concealed in the womb. (K.) b2: Also, [inf. n., probably, جِنٌّ and جُنُونٌ and جَنَانٌ, explained below,] It (the night) was, or became, dark. (Golius on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof.) A3: جُنَّ, (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. جُنُونٌ (S, K) and جِنَّةٌ (S) and جَنٌّ; (K;) and ↓ اُسْتُجِنٌّ, and ↓ تجنّن, and ↓ تجانّ; (K;) He (a man, S) was, or became, مَجْنُون [originally signifying possessed by a جِنِّىّ, or by جِنّ; possessed by a devil or demon; (see Bd li. 39;) and hence meaning bereft of reason; or mad, insane, unsound in mind or intellect, or wanting therein: the verbs may generally be rendered he was, or became, possessed; or mad, or insane].

(S, Msb, K.) [and so, vulgarly, ↓ جنّنهُ, whoever, or whatever, be the agent.] b2: ما اجنّهُ [How mad, or insane, &c., is he!] is anomalous, (Th, S,) being formed from a verb of the pass. form, namely, جُنَّ; (Th, TA;) for of the مَضْرُوب one should not say, مَا أَضْرَبَهُ; nor of the مَسْلُول should one say, مَا أَسَلَّهُ: (S:) Sb says that the verb of wonder is used in this case because it denotes want of intellect [which admits of degrees]. (TA.) A4: اجنّ also signifies وَقَعَ فِى مَجَنَّةٍ [app. meaning He fell into, or upon, a place containing, or abounding with, جِنّ]. (TA.) 5 تَجَنَّّ see 1, in two places. b2: تجنّن عَلَيْهِ, and ↓ تَجَانَنَ, (S, K,) and ↓ تَجَانَّ, (S,) He feigned himself مَجْنُون [i. e. possessed by a جِنِّىّ, or by جِنّ; and hence generally meaning bereft of reason; or mad, insane, &c.;] to him; (S, K;) not being really so.

A3: اِسْتِجْنَانٌ is also syn. with اِسْتِطْرَابٌ; (S, K;) استجنّهُ meaning استطربهُ, i. e. He excited him to mirth, joy, gladness, or sport.

(ISk, S.) b2: Concealment: so in the phrase, لَا جِنَّ بِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ There is no concealment with this thing. (K, * TA.) One of the Hudhalees says, وَلَا جِنَّ بِالبَغْضَآءِ وَالنَّظَرِ الشَّزْرِ [And there is no concealment with vehement hatred and the looking with aversion]. (TA.) A2: [The genii; and sometimes the angels;] accord. to some, the spiritual beings that are concealed from the senses, or that conceal themselves from the senses; all of such beings; (Er-Rághib, TA;) the opposite of إِنْسٌ; (S, Mgh, Msb, Er-Rághib, TA;) thus comprising the angels; all of these being جِنّ; (Er-Rághib, TA;) thus called because they are feared but not seen: (S:) or, accord. to others, certain of the spiritual beings; for the spiritual beings are of three kinds; the good being the angels; and the evil being the devils (شَيَاطِين); and the middle kind, among whom are good and evil, being the جِنّ; as is shown by the first twelve verses of ch. lxxii. of the Kur: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or it here means intelligent invisible bodies, predominantly of the fiery, or of the aerial, quality: or a species of souls, or spirits, divested of bodies: or human souls separate from their bodies: (Bd:) or the جِنّ are the angels [exclusively]; (K;) these being so called in the Time of Ignorance, because they were concealed, or because they concealed themselves, from the eyes: so, accord. to some, in the Kur [xviii. 48], where it is said that Iblees was of the جِنّ: and so, as some say, in the Kur [vi. 100], where it is said that they called the جِنّ partners of God: (TA:) but some reject the explanation in the K, because the angels were created of light, and the جِنّ of fire; and the former do not propagate their kind, nor are they to be described as males and females; contrary to the case of the جِنّ; wherefore it is generally said that in the phrase [in the Kur xviii. 48, above mentioned] إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الجِنِّ, what is excepted is disunited in kind from that from which the exception is made, or that Iblees had adopted the dispositions of the جِنّ: (MF, TA:) or, as some say, the جِنّ were a species of the angels, who were the guardians of the earth and of the gardens of Paradise: (TA:) ↓ جِنَّةٌ, also, signifies the same as جِنٌّ: (S, Msb, K:) so in the last verse of the Kur: (S:) in the Kur xxxvii. 158 meaning the angels, whom certain of the Arabs worshipped; (TA;) and whom they called the daughters of God: (Fr, TA:) a single individual of the جِنّ is called ↓ جِنِّىٌّ, [fem. with ة:] (S, TA:) and ↓ جَانٌّ, also, is syn. with جِنٌّ: (Msb:) or الجَانٌ means the father of the جِنّ; (S, Mgh, TA;) [i. e. any father of جِنّ; for] the pl. is جِنَّانٌ, like حِيطَانٌ pl. of حَائِطٌ: (S, TA:) so says El-Hasan: it is said in the T, on the authority of AA, that the جانّ is, or are, of the جِنّ: (TA:) or جَانٌّ is a quasi-pl. n. of جِنٌّ; (M, K;) like جَامِلٌ and بَاقِرٌ: (M, TA:) so in the Kur lv. 56 and 74: in reading the passage in the Kur lv. 39, 'Amr Ibn-'Obeyd pronounced it جَأَنٌ: (TA:) it is related that there were certain creatures called the جَانّ, who were upon the earth, and who acted corruptly therein, and shed blood, wherefore God sent angels who banished them from the earth; and it is said that these angels became the inhabitants of the earth after them. (Zj, TA.) بَاتَ فُلَانٌ ضَيْفَ جِنٍّ

[Such a one passed the night a guest of جنّ] means, in a desolate place, in which was no one that might cheer him by his society or converse. (TA.) The saying of Moosà Ibn-Jábir, فَمَا نَفَرَتْ جِنِّى وَلَا فُلَّ مِبْرَدِى

may mean And my companions, who were like the جِنّ, did not flee when I came to them and informed them, nor was my tongue, that is like the file, deprived of its sharp edge: or by his جنّ he means his familiar جنّ, such as were asserted to aid poets when difficulties befell them; and by his مبرد, his tongue: (Ham p. 182 [where other explanations are proposed; but they are far-fetched]:) or by his جنّ he means his heart; and by his مبرد, his tongue. (S.) The Arabs liken a man who is sharp and effective in affairs to a جِنِّىّ and a شَيْطَان: and hence they said, نَفَرَتْ جِنُّهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) He became weak and abject. (Ham ubi suprà.) b2: The greater, main, or chief, part, or the main body, or bulk, of men, or of mankind; as also ↓ جَنَانٌ; (K;) because he who enters among them becomes concealed by them: (TA:) or the latter means the general assemblage, or collective body, of men: (IAar, S, * TA:) or what veils, conceals, covers, or protects, one, of a thing. (AA, TA.) b3: (tropical:) The flowers, or blossoms, of plants or herbage. (K, TA.) b4: (tropical:) The prime, or first part, of youth: (S, K, TA:) or the sharpness, or vigorousness, and briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness, thereof. (TA.) Yousay, كَانَ ذٰلِك فِى جِنِّ شَبَابِهِ (tropical:) That was in the prime, or first part, of his youth. (S, TA.) and أَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ الأَمْرَ بِجِنِّ ذٰلِكَ (tropical:) I will do that thing in the time of the first and fresh state of that. (S, TA.) جِنٌّ may also signify (assumed tropical:) The madness, or insanity, of exultation, or of excessive exultation. (TA.) And one says, اِتّقِ النّاقَةَ فَإِنّهَا بِجِنِّ ضِرَامِهَا, meaning (assumed tropical:) Fear thou the she-camel, for she is in her evil temper on the occasion of her bringing forth. (TA.) b5: Also i. q. جدّ [app. جِدٌّ, as meaning (assumed tropical:) Seriousness, or earnestness]; because it is a thing that is an accompaniment of thought, or reflection, and is concealed by the heart. (TA.) جَنَّةٌ A [garden, such as is called] بُسْتَان: (S, Mgh:) or a garden, or walled garden, (حَدِيقَة, Msb, K,) of trees, or of palm-trees, (Msb,) or of palms and other trees: (K:) or only if containing palm-trees and grape-vines; otherwise, if containing trees, called حديقة: (Aboo-'Alee in the Tedhkireh, TA:) or any بستان having trees by which the ground is concealed: and sometimes concealing trees: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and palm-trees: (S:) or tall palm-trees: (Mgh:) or shadowing trees; because of the tangling, or luxuriousness of their branches; as though concealing at once what is beneath them: then a بستان; because of its dense and shadowing trees: (Bd in ii. 23:) or a بستان of palms and other trees, dense, and shadowing by the tangling, or luxuriousness, and denseness, of their branches; as though it were originally the inf. n. of un. of جَنَّهُ, and meaning “ a single act of veiling ” or “ concealing ” &c.: (Ksh ib.:) then, with the article ال, [Paradise,] the abode of recompense; because of the جِنَان therein; (Ksh and Bd ib.;) or because the various delights prepared therein for mankind are concealed in the present state of existence: (Bd ib.:) [and] hence الجَنَّاتُ [the gardens of Paradise], (so in a copy of the S,) or جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ [the gardens of continual abode]: (so in another copy of the S:) [for] the pl. of جَنَّةٌ is أَجِنَّةٌ (Mgh, Msb, K) and جِنَيْنَة (Msb, TA) and جُنَّةٌ, but this last is strange.

(Mz, 26th نوع.) [ضِدٌّ is itself a word of this kind, as is shown by what here follows.]

b3: Also, (AA, Th, S, L, Msb, K,) and ↓ ضَدِيدٌ, (S, L, K,) The like, or equal, (AA, Th, S, L, Msb, K,) of a thing. (AA, Msb.) Thus they have two contrary meanings. (K.) One says, لَا ضِدَّ لَهُ and لَهُ ↓ لَا ضَدِيدَ There is no like, or equal, to him, or it. (S, L.) And لَقِىَ القَوْمُ

أَضْدَادَهُمْ The people, or party, found, or met, their equals, or fellows. (L.) ضَدَدٌ: see ضَادٌّ.

ضَدِيدٌ: see ضَدٌّ, in four places.

ضَدِيدَةٌ: see ضِدٌّ, first sentence.

ضَادٌّ, or ↓ ضَادِدٌ and ↓ ضَدَدٌ One who fills vessels for people when they seek, or demand, water: pl. ضُدَدٌ, [which is anomalous,] on the authority of AA. (L.) ضَادِدٌ: see what next precedes.

هُمَا مُتَضَادَّانِ They two are contrary, opposed, or repugnant, each to the other: (S, * L, K:) or they two are inconsistent; or such as cannot be, or exist, together; as night and day. (Msb.)

لب

1 لَبڤ3َ [لَبَّ, originally لَبِبَ,] sec. per. لَبِبْتَ, (S, K,) the most common form of the verb, (TA,) and [لَبَّ, originally لَبُبَ, like حَبَّ, originally حَبُبَ, q. v.,] sec. Pers\. لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـَ (S, K,) in the dial. of El-Hijáz, deviating from rule as aor. of the latter form of the verb; (TA;) inf. n. لَبَابَةٌ (S, K) and لِبٌّ and لَبٌّ; (TA;) and لَبَّ, aor. ـِ in the dial. of Nejd; like فَرَّ, aor. ـِ (TA;) and [لَبَّ], sec. Pers\. لَبِبْتَ, aor. ـُ [contr. to analogy;] (Yz;) and [لَبَّ], sec. Pers\.

لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـُ [agreeably with analogy;] (Yoo;) He was, or became, possessed of لُبّ, i. e., understanding, intellect, or intelligence. See لُبٌّ. (S, K.) It has been said by some (as the authors of the T, the S, &c.) that لَبُبْتَ, aor. ـَ has not its like among the class of reduplicative verbs; i. e., in being of the measure فَعُلَ in the pret., and يَفْعَلُ in the aor. : but three similar verbs have been mentioned; namely, دَمُمْتَ, شَرُرْتَ, and عَزُزَتِ الشَّاةُ (meaning “ the ewe, or goat, became scant in her milk ”). (TA.) [This, however, is a mistake: the assertion relates to لَبُبْتَ having for its aor. (regularly) تَلُبُّ: see دَمَّ, aor. ـُ A2: لَبَّ, aor. ـِ and ↓ لَبْلَبَ; He (a goat, and sometimes ↓ لبلب is used in the same sense with reference to a buck-antelope,) uttered a cry, or sound, at rutting-time. (TA.) A3: لَبَّ اللَّوْزَ He broke the almond and took forth its kernel. (TA.) b2: لَبَّهُ, (K,) sec. Pers\. لَبَبْتُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. لَبٌّ, (S,) He struck him upon the part called the لَبَّة; (S, K;) i. e., the pit above the breast, between the collar-bones; the place where camels are stabbed. (TA.) A4: لَبَّ, aor. ـُ It (a house) faced, was opposite to, or stood over against, another house. (Kh, S, K.) A5: See 4.2 لبّب, inf. n. تَلْبِيبٌ, He (a man warning, or admonishing, a people, and crying out for aid,) put his quiver and his bow upon his neck, and then grasped his own clothes at the upper part of his bosom: ex.

إِنَّا إِذَا الدَّاعِى اعْتَرَى وَلَبَّبَا [Verily we, when a caller comes seeking a kind office, and puts his quiver &c.]: (Lth:) or لبّب here signifies تَرَدَّدَ: see above. (TA.) b2: He drew together his garments at his bosom and breast, in altercation, or contention, and then dragged him along. (S, K.) b3: Also, He put round his neck a rope, or a garment, and held him with it. (TA.) A2: See also 5, and تَلْبِيبٌ

A3: لبّب It (grain) got a لُبّ, or heart, (S, K,) an edible heart. (TA.) A4: لبّب, inf. n. تَلْبِيبٌ, He went backwards and forwards, or to and fro; went and came: syn. تَرَدَّدَ. (K.) ISd says, This is related, but I know not what it is. (TA.) See below.4 البّ بِالمَكَانِ, inf. n. إِلْبَابٌ; (ISk, S, K;) and ↓ لَبَّ بِهِ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. لَبٌّ; (Kh, S, K;) He remained, stayed, abode, or dwelt, in the place; (S, K;) kept to it. (S.) Hence, says Fr., the expression لَبَّيْكَ, q. v. infra. (S, K.) b2: البّ عَلَى الأَمْرِ He kept to the thing, or affair. (TA.) A2: البّ It (growing corn, &c.) had, bore, or produced, the edible substance in the grain: like احبّ. (S.) A3: البّ لَهُ الشَّىْءُ The thing appeared to him: syn. عَرَضَ. (K.) A4: أَلْبَبْتُ السَّرْجَ I made a لَبَب (or breast-leather) to the saddle. (TA.) b2: أَلْبَبْتُ الدَّابَّةَ I put a لَبَب (or breast-leather) on the beast of carriage; (S, K;) as also ↓ لَبَبْتُهَا, aor. ـُ (K.) 5 تلبّبت بِمِنْطَقَتِهَا [app. a mistake for بِمِنْطَقِهَا] She (a woman) put one end of her scarf over her left shoulder, and drew forth the middle of it from beneath her right arm, and covered with it her bosom, and put the other end also over her left shoulder. (TA.) b2: تلبّب He raised his clothes, or tucked them up: (K:) he girded himself, and raised, or tucked up, his clothes; (S;) a signification assigned in the A to ↓ لَبَّبَ: he girded himself with his garment about his bosom; or wrapped it round him at his bosom: he drew together his garments: he girded himself with a weapon &c.: he armed himself, and raised, or tucked up, his clothes for fight: (TA:) he bound his waist with a rope. (S, in art. حزم.) b3: تَلَبَّبَ الرَّجُلَانِ The two men seized each other at the part called لَبَّة. (TA.) A2: تلبّب الوَادِى (tropical:) He took his way through the valley: and, in like manner, ↓ لبّبوا and ↓ استلبّوا they took their way through it. (A.) 10 استلبّهُ He made trial of his understanding, or intelligence. See لُبٌّ.

A2: And see 5.

R. Q. 1 لَبْلَبَةٌ, [inf. n. of لَبْلَبَ,] The being tender, affectionate, kind, or compassionate, to offspring. (S, K.) b2: لَبْلَبَتْ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا, inf. n. as above, She (a ewe) was tender, or affectionate, to her young one, and licked it, when she brought it forth, (S, K,) making a sound like لِبْ لِبْ. (TA.) b3: See 1. b4: لَبْلَبَ عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. as above, He was kind, or compassionate, to him; i. e., to a man: he was kind, or affectionate, to him, and aided, or succoured, him. (TA.) A2: لَبْلَبَ It was separated, dispersed, or scattered. (AA, T, K.) (The inf. n., لبلبة, is explained by تَفَرُّقٌ: but I think it not improbable that this is a mistake for تَرَفُّقٌ; and that the meaning is, He was gentle, courteous, or kind.]

لَبٌّ inf. n. of لَبَّ “ he remained, &c. ” b2: لبَّيْكَ [At thy service! lit., Doubly at thy service!] (S, K, &c.) and لَبَّيْهِ [At his service: &c.]. (TA.) [See an ex. voce مَرْهُوبٌ. It is used in the present day like our phrase At thy service, and may well be thus rendered, or with the addition of time after time.] لبّيك is derived from أَلَبَّ [or rather from لَبَّ as syn. with البّ] “ he remained &c. ”; and means I wait intent upon thy service, or upon obedience to thee: (Fr, S, K;) waiting [at they service] after waiting; [i. e., time after time;] and answering [thy commands] after answering: (K:) it [i. e. the noun without the annexed pron.] is put in the acc. case as an inf. n. [used as an absolute complement of its own verb which is understood], as in حَمْدًا لِلّٰهِ وشُكْرًا; and the right way would be to say لَبًّا لَكَ; but it is put in the dual number for the sake of corroboration; meaning إِلْبَابًا بِكَ بَعْدَ إِلْبَابٍ, and إِقَامَةً بَعْدَ إِقَامَةٍ, [waiting at thy service, or in attendance upon thee, or in thy presence, after waiting, or time after time]. (Fr, S.) [See also the similar expression سَعْدَيْكَ.] Or لَبٌّ signifies the obeying, or serving; or obedience, or service; from the original signification of the “ remaining, staying, abiding, or dwelling,” [in a place]: the dual, in the nom. case, is لَبّانِ; and in the acc. and gen., لَبَّيْنِ; and the original meaning of لبيك is I have obeyed thee, or served thee, twice: [or I do obey thee, &c.:] the ن [of لبّين] being elided because of its being prefixed to the pron. (IAar.) Or لبّيك is from the saying دَارُ فُلَانٍ تَلُبُّ دَارِى “ the house of such a one faces my house ”; (Kh, S, K;) and the meaning is I present myself before thee, (or repair to thee, K,) doing what thou likest, answering thee [after answering, or time after time]: the ى is to form the dual number; and indicates that the noun is in the acc. case as an inf. n. [used as mentioned above]. (Kh, S.) Or it means My love [is given] to thee; from the expression اِمْرَأَةٌ لَبَّةٌ “ a woman loving (and affectionate, TA,) to her husband ”: so in the K: but the expression, as related on the authority of Kh, is أُمٌّ لَبَّةٌ; which is confirmed by a verse that he cites. (TA.) Or the meaning is إِخْلَاصِى لَكَ [My sincere service, or the like, (is given) to thee;] from the expression حَسَبٌ لُبَابٌ

“ pure nobility, or the like. ” (K.) Accord. to Yoo, لبّيك is a noun in the sing. number with the pron. annexed to it: this noun is originally لَبَّبٌ, of the measure فَعْلَلٌ: (not of the measure فَعَّلٌ, because this is rare in the language:) the the last ب is changed into ى to avoid the reduplication; and thus it becomes لَبَّىٌ: then the ى, being movent, and immediately preceded by fet-hah, is changed into ا; and it becomes لَبَّا [or لَبَّى, for the ى in this case is called ا]: then, being conjoined with ك in لبّيك, and with ه in لبّيه, its ا is changed into ى; after the same manner as you say إِلَيْكَ and عَلَيْكَ and لَدَيْكَ. (TA.) [But see what here follows.] b3: لَبَّىْ يَدَيْكَ is a phrase exactly similar to لبّيك, meaning At the service (or, lit. doubly at the service) of thy hands! and this is said, in the S, art. لبى to be at variance with the opinion of Yoo, given above; for, if لبّى were similar to إِلَى &c., being prefixed to a noun, not a pron., it would be لَبَّى يَدَيْكَ, not لَبَّىْ.] Accord. to El-Khattá- bee, لبّى يديك signifies May thy hands be safe and sound! the desinential syntax being disregarded in the saying يديك, which rightly should be يَدَاكَ, in order that يديك may match in sound with لبّيك: but Z says, that the meaning is, I will obey thee, and be at thy free disposal, as a thing which thou shalt dispose of with thy hands in whatever manner thou shalt please. (TA.) b4: In like manner you say لَبَّىْ زَيْدٍ [At the service (or doubly at the service) of Zeyd]. (Msb.) See art. لبى. b5: لَبِّ, with kesreh for its termination, like أَمْس and غَاقِ, is also related as having been used: (Sb:) [and it is still used in some parts, as signifying At thy service!].

A2: لَبٌّ keeping, or adhering, [to a thing]: remaining, or staying. (K.) b2: A camel-driver who keeps constantly to the work of driving the camels, not leaving them. (TA.) b3: رَجُلٌ لَبٌّ A man who keeps to a thing, or affair, or business; as also ↓ لَبِيبٌ; (S, K;) a man who keeps to his art, or craft, or trade, not ceasing from it. (TA.) b4: رجلٌ لَبٌّ طَبٌّ A man who keeps to business, [and is skilful, expert, clever, or intelligent]. (S, TA.) A3: لَب One who renders himself near to people by affection and friendship [or is friendly and affectionate to them]: courteous, polite, or affable: fem. لَبَّةٌ: pl. لِبَابٌ. (TA.) b2: اِمْرَأَةٌ لَبَّةٌ A woman who renders herself near by affection and friendship [or is friendly and affectionate], to people; (S;) courteous, polite, or affable: (S, K:) a woman loving to her husband; (K;) affectionate to him: or, accord. to Kh, the expression is أُمٌّ لَبَّةٌ: see لَبٌّ, above. (TA.) لُبٌّ (S, K) and ↓ لُبَابٌ (Msb) of a nut, an almond, and the like, What is in the inside; (S;) the heart, or kernel: (K:) of a palm-tree, the heart, or pith, called قَلْبٌ or قُلْبٌ. (S, K.) Pl. of the former لُبُوبٌ. (S.) b2: لُبٌّ (S, K) and ↓ لُبَابٌ (TA) What is pure, or the choice, or best, part, of anything: (S, K:) pl. of the former أَلْبَابٌ. (A'Obeyd.) b3: لُبُّ الحِنْطَةِ [The purest substance of wheat: see فَالُوذٌ:] (T, L, art. فلذ &c:) [also called البُرِّ ↓ لُبَابُ, acc. to Sprenger, “Life of Mohammad,” (Allahabad, 1851,) p. 24, note 1.] b4: [Hence,] لُبٌّ of a man, (TA,) (tropical:) Understanding; intellect; intelligence; or mind; syn. عَقْلٌ: (S, K:) the understanding, &c., that is put into the heart of a man: so called because it is the choicest or best part of him: or it is not so called unless it is pure from cupidity, or lust, and foul imaginations; and therefore has a more special sense than عقل: so in the Keshf el-Keshsháf: (TA:) pl. أَلْبَابٌ, and sometimes أَلُبٌّ; (S, K;) like as أَبْؤُسٌ is pl. of بُؤْسٌ, and أَنْعُمٌ of نُعْمٌ; (S;) and أَلْبُبٌ; (S, K;) the last being used, without incorporating the second ب into the first, in case of necessity in poetry. (S.) b5: بَنَاتُ أَلْبُبٍ Certain veins in the heart; the sources of tenderness, affection, kindness, or compassion. (S, K.) b6: تَأْبَى لَهُ ذٰلِكَ بَنَاتُ أَلْبُبِى

[My tenderness forbids the doing so to him]: said by an Arab woman of the desert, on the occasion of her reproving her son, to one who asked her why she did not curse him. (S.) b7: أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ بَنَاتَ أَلْبُبِهِ He loved it. (L, art. شر.) b8: The following words of the poet, قَدْ عَلِمَتْ ذَاكَ بَنَاتُ أَلْبُبِهْ signify, accord. to the M, My intellect knew that. (TA.) El-Mubarrad read أَلْبَبِهْ in the above words of the poet: (TA:) the meaning of these words, accord. to him, is, The daughters of the most intelligent of his tribe knew this. (S, TA.) b9: If you form a pl. from [the pl.] أَلْبُبٌ, it is أَلَابِبُ; and the dim. n. is أُلَيْبِبٌ. (S.) b10: ذُو لُبٍّ Possessing, having, or a person of, understanding, or intelligence: pl. أُولُوا الْأَلْبَابِ [persons of understandings]. (TA.) See also لَبِيبٌ and مَلْبُوبٌ. b11: لُبٌّ (assumed tropical:) The self, substance, or essence, of anything. (TA.) A2: Poison: (K:) the poison of the serpent is sometimes thus called. (Abu-l-Hasan, L.) A3: لُبٌّ, in the dial. of El-Andalus and El-'Adweh, A certain beast of prey, resembling the wolf, said by AHei not to exist in other countries. (TA.) لَبَبٌ: see لَبَّةٌ. b2: The breast-girth, or thing that is bound over the breast of a beast, (or a she-camel, S,) to prevent the saddle from slipping back: (S, K:) it is an appertenance to the camel's saddle and to the horse's: (ISd, and others:) pl. أَلْبَابٌ: (S, K:) its only pl.

A2: A thin tract, or portion, of sand, (S, K,) that has descended from the main heap, and is between the hard and even, and the rugged, parts of the earth: (TA:) or such as is near to an oblong tract of sand: (T:) or لَبَبُ كَثِيبٍ signifies the fore part of a sand-hill. (TA.) El-Ahmar says, The largest quantity of sand is called عَقَنْقَلٌ; what is less than this, كَثِيبٌ; what is still less, عَوْكَلٌ; what is still less, سِقْطٌ; what is still less, عَدَابٌ; and what is still less, لَبَبٌ. (S.) لَبَّةٌ and ↓ لَبَبٌ The stabbing-place in an animal; (S, L, K;) the middle of the breast: (L:) the pit above the breast, between the collar-bones; the place where camels are stabbed: (see لَبَّهُ:) or the bones [probably a mistake for the part next above the bones] that are above the breast, and below the throat, between the collar-bones, where camels are stabbed: he who says that it is the pit in the throat errs: (IKt:) [for it is just beneath the throat:] pl. of the former لَبَّاتٌ (S) and لِبَابٌ; and of the latter أَلْبَابٌ. (TA.) Also, both words, (the latter ↓ accord. to the S and K, and the former accord. to the TA,) and ↓ مُتَلَبَّبٌ, (TA,) The place of the breast where the necklace or collar lies, or hangs, (S, K,) in anything; (S;) [i. e., in a human being or a beast:] or the pit above it: (TA:) pl. of لَبَبٌ, أَلْبَابٌ. (S.) Lh mentions the phrase إِنَّهَا لَحَسَنَهُ اللَّبَّاتِ [Verily she is beautiful in the upper part of the breast]: as though the sing. were applied to each portion of it, and the pl. formed to denote the whole.

A2: لَبَابِ لَبَابِ, said by the Arabs to a man on the occasion of becoming favourably disposed towards him, (Yoo,) No harm, No harm. Syn. لَا بَأْسَ. (K.) ISd thinks it to be from a preceding meaning; [that of “ keeping, or adhering ”;] observing that when one dispels evil from another, he [the latter] loves to adhere to him: [so that it seems to be an imp. verbal n., like نَزَالِ &c., meaning keep with me, and fear not].

حَرَامٌ وَإِنِّى بَعْدَ ذَاكِ لَبِيبُ by بعد ذاك is meant مع ذاك; and by لبيب, مُقِيم, (remaining, or staying,) or, accord. to some, مُلَبٍّ, from التَّلْبِيَة: see art. لبى. (S.) لَبَابَةٌ: see لَبَابٌ.

لِبَابَةٌ What is worn by the مُتَلَبِّب [app. meaning him who girds himself, and raises or tucks up his clothes, and arms himself, for fight]: (TA:) [A garment which he who prepares himself for fight puts on over other garments.

(TA.) See عُصْرٌ.

لَوْلَبٌ A large quantity of water, which, when the aperture (مَفْتَح, as in the T; or فَتْح, as in MS. copies of the K; in the CK فُتُح;) [mean-ing the aperture of the tank or the like] carries off thereof what it can, and the hole by which it runs out (صُنْبُورُهُ, meaning the مَثْعَب of the water, TA,) is too narrow to admit it freely on account of its abundance, whirls round, and becomes like the spout of a vessel. (T, K.) AM says, I know not whether it be an Arabic word or arabicized; but the people of El-'Irák are fond of using it. (TA.)

Its more appropriate place, I think, would be in an art. composed of the letters للب (accord. to what is said of مُلَوْلَبٌ in the S, K); or rather, (accord. to its derivation from the Pers\.,) لولب.] Pl. لَوَالِبُ.

1 شَقَّهُ, (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (M, Msb,) inf. n. شَقٌّ, (S, M, Msb,) He cut it [or divided it] lengthwise; (TA in art. قد;) [i. e.] he clave it, split it, rived or rifted it, or slit it; so as to separate it; [i. e. he clave, split, rived or rifted, slit, rent, ripped, tore, broke, or burst, it asunder;] or without separating it; [i. e. he cracked, chapped, incided or incised, gashed, slashed, furrowed, or trenched, it; or clave, split, &c., or cut, it open;] syn. صَدَعَهُ; (K;) or [more explicitly]

الشَّقُّ signifies الصَّدْعُ البَائِنُ [the cleaving &c. that separates]; or غَيْرُ البَائِنِ [that which does not separate]; or الصَّدْعُ [the cleaving, &c.,] in a general sense: (M:) and in like manner, [but with an intensive signification, or implying frequency or repetition of the action, or its application to several objects, generally meaning he clave it, &c., much, or in pieces, or in several places,] ↓ شقّقهُ: (M, K:) you say, شقّق الحَطَبَ (S, K) وَغَيْرَهُ (S) i. e. شَقَّهُ [but properly meaning He clave in pieces the firewood &c.]. (K. [In the CK, شَقَّ الحَطَبَ is erroneously put for شقّق الحطب.]) b2: [شَقَّ رَأْسَهُ generally means He clave his head, or his pericranium: and sometimes, as in an instance in the K voce شَقَأَ, he divided the hair of his head.] b3: شَقَّ العَصَا [lit. He split the staff] means (tropical:) he separated himself from the community; (S, K, TA;) and particularly, that of the Muslims: because the staff is not thus called but when it is whole, not when it is split: accord. to Lth, يَشُقُّ عَصَا المُسْلِمِينَ and ↓ يُشَاقُّهُمْ signify alike: but they differ in meaning, as will be shown hereafter. (TA.) شَقَّ عَصَا المُسْلِمِينَ, K, TA,) said of a خَارِجِىّ [i. e. heretic or schismatic], also means (assumed tropical:) He effected disunion and dissension in the body of the Muslims. (TA.)

وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ خَرَقَهُمَا فَجَعَلَ الرِّجَالَ لِهٰذِهِ وَالجِبَالَ لِهٰذَا: an expression of opinion which is, to me, by no means clear, though reconcilable with my rendering.]) b5: المَالُ بَيْنَنَا شَقَّ الأَبْلَمَةِ and الأُبْلُمَةِ [The property is divided between us as in the dividing of the ابلمة; or the cattle are divided &c.;] meanswe are equal in respect of the property, or cattle: for the ابلمة means the [kind of leaf called]

خُوصَة, which, when it is split lengthwise, splits in halves: (M:) or, accord. to Aboo-Ziyád, the ابلمة is a herb, or leguminous plant, (بَقْلَةٌ,) to which there come forth pods, like [those of] the bean; and when you split them lengthwise, they split in halves, equally, from the first part to the last thereof: شَقَّ is in the accus. case as an inf. n., مَشْقُوقٌ being understood.

(KT.) [You say, اشتقّ حَرْفًا or كَلِمَةً or لَفْظًا, and اسْمًا, He derived a word, and a name, مِنْ آخَرَ from another; and ↓ شَقَّهُ sometimes signifies the same, as is shown by a citation voce رَحِمٌ.] b3: [And, as syn. with اِخْتِرَاعٌ, (see 8 in art. خرع,)] The constructing, or founding, (بُنْيَان,) of a thing of, or from, what is originated without premeditation.

And خُذْ هٰذَا الشِّقَّ Take thou this ↓ شِقَّة [i. e. half] of the sheep or goat. (TA.) Hence the trad., تَصَدَّقُوا وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ i. e. [Give ye alms though it be but] the half of a date; meaning deem not anything little that is given as alms. (TA.) And المَالُ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ شِقَّ الشَّعَرَةِ and الشَّعَرَةِ ↓ شَقَّ, (O, K, * [in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K شقُّ, but the former reading appears to be the right, شَقَّ being an inf. n. as in a similar saying in the former half of the first paragraph of this art., and شِقَّ being a subst. used as an inf. n. or for كَشِقِّ,]) meaning [The property is between us] two halves, equal [in division].

(Mgh.) b4: The side of the body; as when one says of a person that his left شِقّ was grazed, or abraded. (Mgh.) [Hence,] one says of a horse, يَمِيلُ عَلَى أَحَدِ شِقَّيْهِ [He inclines, or leans, upon one of his two sides]. (O.) [And مَشَى عَلَى شِقٍّ and فِى شِقٍّ He went, or walked, inclining upon one side.] b5: The side, or lateral part, (Lth, Msb, K, TA,) of a thing; the two sides of a thing being called شِقَّاهُ: (Lth, TA:) or, as some say, (TA,) the side of a mountain.

(TA.) One says also, هذَا

↓ شَقِيقُهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) This is the like of him, or it. (TA.) And [hence] it is said in a trad., النِّسَآءُ شَقَائِقُ الرِّجَالِ, [in which شَقَائِقُ is the pl. of ↓ شَقِيقٌ as fem., or of شَقِيقَةٌ in the same sense,] meaning (assumed tropical:) Women are the likes of men in natural dispositions; as though they were cloven from them; or because Eve was created from Adam. (TA.) b8: And (tropical:) A man's brother; (M;) and so ↓ شَقِيقٌ; (S, M, O, K, TA;) meaning a brother by the father and mother; (TA;) from شَقِيقٌ as meaning “ either half of a thing that is cloven in halves; ” (S, TA;) or as though the relationship of one were cloven from that of the other: (IDrd, O, K:) pl. of the latter أَشِقَّآءُ. (M, Msb.) b9: And a name for A thing at which one looks: (Lth, O, K:) [but this is app. taken from the following saying of Lth, in which I think الشِّقُّ is a mistranscription for الشَّقُّ, meaning “ the crack,” &c.:] الشَّقُّ is the inf. n. of شَقَقْتُ, and الشِّقُّ is a name for that at which one looks [i. e. for the visible effect of the act signified by the verb], and the pl. is الشُّقُوقُ [which is well known as the pl. of الشَّقُّ].

Difficulty, hardship, distress, affliction, trouble, inconvenience, fatigue, or weariness; (M, TA;) and languor, or lack of power, that overtakes the mind and the body; (Er-Rághib, TA;) and so ↓ شَقٌّ; (IJ, S, M, O, K;) thus it is sometimes pronounced with fet-h; mentioned by A'Obeyd; (S;) and by Az; (M;) or this is an inf. n., and شِقٌّ is the subst.; (O, K;) and ↓ شُقَّةٌ and ↓ شِقَّةٌ also signify the same as مَشَقَّةٌ, (K,) or such as overtakes a man in consequence of travel; (TA;) and the pls. of these two are شُقَقٌ, (K, TA,) mentioned by Fr, (TA,) and شِقَقٌ, (K, TA,) mentioned on the authority of some one or more of [the tribe of] Keys: (TA:) the pl. of ↓ مَشَقَّةٌ is مَشَاقُّ and مَشَقَّاتٌ. (TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xvi. 7], لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَالِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِ الْأَنْفُسِ [Which ye would not reach save with difficulty, or distress, &c., of the souls]; where some read ↓ بِشَقِّ. (S, * TA.) شُقَّةٌ primarily signifies The half of a garment [consisting of two oblong pieces sewed together, side by side]: then it was applied to [such] a garment as it is [when complete: in both of these senses it is used in the present day]: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or a piece (قِطْعَةٌ) of a garment: (Mgh:) or the شُقَّة of ثِيَاب [thus, and thus only, in the S, meaning of garments and of cloths, for it is of both,] is an oblong piece; syn. سَبِيبَةٌ مُسْتَطِيلَةٌ: (M, K:) [it is often applied to an oblong piece of cloth of those pieces of which a tent is composed:] pl. شُقَقٌ and شِقَاقٌ.

(Mgh.) See also أَسْعَدُ: and شَرَجٌ.

شَقِيقٌ: see شِقٌّ, in five places. b2: شَقِيقُ البَرْقِ [so in a copy of the M, but the right reading may be شَقِيقَةُ البَرْقِ, which occurs in the next sentence of the M,] i. q. عَقِيقَتُهُ [expl. in the S, in art. خفو, as meaning Lightning that cleaves the clouds, and extends high, into the midst of the sky, without going to the right and left: but see شَقِيقَةٌ]. (M.) A2: Also A calf that has become firm, or strong: (O, K:) and applied likewise to (assumed tropical:) a man [that has become so; by way of comparison]: (O:) or a bull such as is termed جَذَعٌ [i. e. in his second, or third, year]. (JK.) شَقُوقَةٌ A certain bird; also called ↓ شَقِيقَةٌ: (M, K:) and ↓ شُقَيِّقَةٌ is the dim. thereof: (K:) AHát says, the ↓ شَقُوقَة is a very little thing, grayish (زُرَيْقَآءُ), of the colour of ashes; ten and fifteen of what are thus called congregate; and I think it to be the ↓ شُقَيِّقَة, which is a دُخَّلَة of the دُخَّل [q. v.]; it is somewhat dusky; and its form is the form of these, but it is smaller than they: it is called ↓ شُقَيِّقَة becanse of its smallness: IDrd, in the class of فُعَيْعِل, mentions ↓ الشُّقَيِّقُ as signifying a certain species of birds [app. as a coll. gen. n., of which the n. un. is with ة]. (O, TA.) شَقِيقَةٌ [accord. to Golius, A fissure; as from the KL; but not so expl. in my copy of that work. b2: ] An intervening space or tract between two elongated, or extended, tracts of sand, (S, M, * O, K, * [in the last of which الجَبَلَيْنِ is erroneously put for الجَبْلَيْنِ,]) thus expl. to AHn by an Arab of the desert, (TA,) producing herbage: (S, M, O, K:) or a rugged tract between two elongated, or extended, tracts of sand, producing good herbage; (M, TA;) so in the T, as expl. to its author by an Arab of the desert: (TA:) pl. شَقَائِقُ, (T, S, O, K, TA,) expl. by some as meaning sands themselves: (TA:) or a great piece of sand: or a piece of sand between two pieces thereof. (Ham p. 282.) b3: [In the A and TA voce قِطُّ, it is used as meaning A slice cut off of a melon &c.]

A2: A rain, (M,) or a violent rain, consisting of large drops, (K, TA,) wide in extent: so called because the clouds cleave asunder from it: (M, K, TA:) pl. as above. (TA.) b2: The pl., شَقَائِقُ, is expl. by Az as signifying Clouds that have cloven asunder with copious rains. (O, TA.) b3: شَقِيقَةُ بَرْقٍِ, (O, K,) and عَقِيقَتُهُ, both as expl. by Aboo-Sa'eed, (O,) A flash of lightning that has spread (O, K) in the horizon, (O,) or from the horizon: (K: [but see شَقِيقُ البَرْقِ:]) or شَقِيقَةٌ signifies a flash of lightning that has spread in the breadth of the clouds, and filled the sky: pl. as above. (Ham p. 557.) A3: A headache, (JK, T, TA,) or a pain, (S, O, K,) or a certain disease, (M,) in the half of the head, (JK, T, S, M, O, K,) [i. e. hemicrania,] and of the face: (JK, T, S, O, K:) or, accord. to IAth, a sort of headache in the fore part of the head and towards the sides thereof. (TA.) A4: شَقَائِقُ النُّعْمَانِ, used alike as sing. and pl., (S, O, K,) having no proper sing., (Msb,) or its sing. is شَقِيقَةٌ; (M, O, Msb;) [The red, or blood-coloured, anemone;] a certain plant; (M;) a certain red flower; (Lth, O;) well known; (S, K;) the شَقِر; (Msb;) or, as AHn says, on the authority of AA and Aboo-Nasr and others, it is the شَقِرَة [n. un. of شَقِرٌ]; and the sing. of شقائق is شَقِيقَةٌ: (O, TA:) it is called شقائق النعمان because of its redness, as being likened to the شَقِيقَة of lightning: (M, K:) or from النُّعْمَان as meaning “ blood,” as resembling blood in colour; (Msb, TA;) so that it signifies “ pieces of blood: ” (TA:) or in relation to En-Noamán Ibn-El-Mundhir, because he prohibited to the public a piece of land in which it abounded: (S, K, TA:) or because he alighted upon شَقَائِق of sand that had produced red شَقِر, and he deemed them beautiful, and commanded that they should be prohibited to the public; so the شَقِر were called the شقائق of En-Noamán, by the name of the place of their growth. (TA.) A5: See also شَقُوقَةٌ.

شُقَيِّقٌ, and with ة: see شَقُوقَةٌ, in four places.

شَقَّاقٌ, meaning One who glories, or boasts, vainly, and praises himself for that which is not in him, is not of the [classical] language of the Arabs. (L, TA.) شَقِّىٌّ A horse with which his rider ex-periences difficulty in striving to master him. (JK.) شِقِّيَّةٌ A certain mode of جِمَاع, (K, TA,) in which the woman lies upon her شِقّ [or side]. (TA.) شِقْشِقَةٌ [The bursa faucium, or faucial bag, which is placed behind the palate of the he-camel, and which, when excited, he inflates, and blows out from the side of his mouth;] a thing resembling the lungs, or lights, which the he-camel protrudes from his mouth when he is excited by lust; (S, O, K;) a skin in the fauces of the Arabian camel, which he inflates with wind, and in which he brays; whereupon it appears from the side of his mouth; so says En-Nadr; and he adds that it does not pertain to any but the Arabian camel, [as is said in the M, and] as Hr says; but this requires consideration; (TA;) [also expl. as] the لَهَاة [q. v.] of the he-camel, (M, and Har p. 16,) which he protrudes from his mouth when he brays: (Har ubi suprá:) pl. شَقَاشِقُ. (TA.) b2: To this is likened the tongue of the chaste, or eloquent, and able speaker; himself being likened to the braying stallion-camel: (O:) and hence they say of an orator, or a preacher, that he is ذُو شِقْشِقَةٍ: (S:) one says likewise of an orator, or a preacher, that is loud in voice and skilful in speech, هُوَ أَهْرَتُ الشِقْشِقَةِ [lit. He is wide, or ample, in respect of the شقشقة]: (TA:) and one says, هَدَرَتْ شِقْشِقَتُهُ (assumed tropical:) [meaning His utterance was sonorous and fluent]. (A and TA in art. هدر.) Orators, or preachers, are also termed شَقَاشِق [for ذَوُو شَقَاشِقَ]: and one says, فُلَانٌ شِقْشِقَةُ قَوْمِهِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is the noble, and the chaste in speech, or eloquent, of his people. (M.) And in a trad. of 'Omar, (M, O, TA,) accord. to A'Obeyd and others, or of 'Alee accord. to Hr, (TA,) شَقَاشِق are assigned to the Devil, in his saying, إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ الخُطَبِ مِنْ شَقَاشِقِ الشَّيْطَانِ [lit. Verily many of the orations, or harangues, are from the شقاشق of the Devil]; because of the lying introduced into them. (M, O, * TA. *) الخُطْبَةُ الشِّقْشِقِيَّةُ an appellation applied to a certain خُطْبَة [i. e. oration, or harangue, or sermon,] of 'Alee, because of his saying to Ibn-'Abbás, (O, K,) on his having cut short his speech, (O,) in reply to a remark of the latter person upon his not having continued his speech uninterruptedly, تِلْكَ شِقْشِقَةٌ هَدَرَتْ ثُمَّ قَرَّتْ [That was a شقشقة that uttered a braying, then became still]. (O, K.) شَاقٌّ Difficult, hard, distressing, grievous, afflicting, troubling, molesting, fatiguing, or wearying. (KL.) One says أَمْرٌ شَاقٌّ [An affair, or event, that is difficult, &c.]; from شَقَّ عَلَيْنَا الأَمْرُ. (Msb.) And شُقَّةٌ شَاقَّةٌ (S, Msb) A long journey [that is difficult, &c.]. (Msb.) شافَّةٌ The spadix of a palm-tree, that has become a span in length; so called because it cleaves the envelope: pl. شَوَاقُّ. (M.) أَشَقُّ, (S, M, O, K,) fem. شَقَّآءُ, and pl. شُقٌّ, (K,) applied to a horse, Wide between the hind legs: (IAar, Th, T, O, * K, * TA:) and the fem. signifies wide in the أَرْفَاغ [or groins, or similar parts]; (TA;) and is applied to a mare: (IDrd, O, TA:) and wide in the vulva; (IAar, O, K;) applied in this sense to a woman. (IAar, O, TA.) and أَشَقُّ المَنْخِرَيْنِ, applied to a horse, Wide in the nostrils. (Lth, O, TA.) b2: Also, (O, K,) Tall, or long; (T, S, M, O, K;) applied to a horse; (T, S, M, K;) thus expl. by As; (T, TA;) and so too applied to a man: (M, TA:) and the fem., as above, applied to a mare. (S.) b3: And, applied to a horse, That goes to the right and left in his running, (JK, * O, K, TA, [in the CK, يَسْبِقُ is erroneously put for يَشْتَقُّ, and in like manner in my MS. copy of the K, with the additional mistranscription of من عَدْوِهِ for فِى عَدْوِهِ,]) as though (O, TA) leaning upon one of his sides: (JK, O, TA:) so says Lth; and he cites as an ex., وَتَبَازَيْتُ كَمَا يَمْشِى الأَشَقُّ [as though meaning And I moved my posteriors in walking, like as goes the horse that inclines to the right and left in his running: but this may be rendered and I stepped wide, like as does the tall, or long-bodied, horse]. (O, TA.) مَشَقٌّ [properly A place of cleaving, splitting, &c.: and hence a fissure, cleft, &c., like شَقٌّ: pl. مَشَاقُّ]: see شَقٌّ. b2: مَشَقُّ العَيْنِ [The slit of the eye]. (TA in art. حوص.) مَشَقَّةٌ [said in the S and K to be an inf. n. of شَقَّ trans. by means of عَلَى]: see شِقٌّ, in the last quarter of the paragraph, in two places.

ال

اَلْ is a particle of determination: (Mughnee &c.:) or, accord. to some, it is a conjunct noun, and this is the correct opinion; but some say it is a conjunct particle; and some, a particle of determination: (I 'AK p. 40:) [it is equivalent to our article The;] as in الرَّجُلُ [The man]: (S and K in art. لوم, and I 'Ak p. 48:) accord. to Kh, [what is termed] the determinative is اَلْ [altogether, and therefore it is called by some “the determinative alif and lám“]; but accord. to Sb, it is the ل alone; [wherefore it is called by some, as in the S &c., “the lám of determination;”;] so that accord. to Kh, the hemzeh is a hemzeh of disjunction; but accord. to Sb, it is a hemzeh of conjunction: (I 'Ak ubi suprà:) [J says,] the ل being quiescent, the conjunctive ا is prefixed to it in order that it may commence therewith; but when it is conjoined with what precedes it, the ا is dropped, as in لِلرَّجُلِ. (S in art. لوم.) Sometimes the Arabs suppress hemzeh after it; and sometimes they also suppress the ا of the article itself: thus, for الأَحْمَرُ, they say الَحْمَرُ, and لَحْمَرُ. (Zj, cited in TA in art. ايك.) In the dial. of some of the people of El-Yemen, (TA in art. ام, q. v.,) or in the dial. of Himyer, (TA in art. طيب,) امْ is used in the sense of ال. (TA.) b2: It is used to distinguish a noun as known [to the hearer or reader in a particular and definite sense]: (Mughnee, I 'Ak ubi suprà:) first, by its being mentioned [before]; (Mughnee;) as in [the words of the Kur 73:15 and 16,] كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا فَعَصَى فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ [Like as we sent unto Pharaoh an apostle, and Pharaoh disobeyed the apostle]; (Mughnee, I 'Ak;) in which case, the pronoun may supply the place which it and the noun that it accompanies occupies: secondly, by its being conceived in the mind; as in [the Kur ix. 40,] إِذْ هُمَا فِى الغَارِ [When they two were in the cave]: and thirdly, by its being applied to a thing present; and accord. to Ibn-'Osfoor, this does not occur except after nouns of indication, as in جَآءَ نِى هٰذَا الرَّجُلُ [This man (lit. this, the man,) came to me]; or after أَىّ in calling, as in يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ [O man]; or after إِذَا denoting a thing's happening suddenly, or unexpectedly, as in خَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا الأَسَدُ [I went forth, and lo, there was the lion]; or after the noun denoting the present time, as اَلْآنَ [Now]: but this requires consideration; for you say to the reviler of a man in you presence, لَا تَشْتِمِ الرَّجُلَ [Revile not thou the man]; and because that which is after إِذَا does not render determinate anything present at the time of speaking; and because that in الآن is really redundant, being inseparable, which the determinative is never known to be: the good example in this case is the saying in the Kur [v. 5], اَلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِيْنَكُمْ [This day I have completed for you your religion]. (Mughnee.) b3: It is also used to denote the species: first, to denote the totality of the individuals of the species; and this may have its place supplied by كُلّ used in its proper sense; (Mughnee, I 'Ak * ubi suprà;) as in [the Kur iv. 32,] وَخُلِقَ الإِنْسَانُ ضَعِيفًا [For man was created weak]: secondly, to denote the totality of the properties of the individuals, or the combination of all those properties in one thing; and this may have its place supplied by كُلّ used in a tropical sense; as in زَيْدٌ الرَّجُلُ عِلْمًا [Zeyd is the man in respect of knowledge; as though he combined in himself the knowledge of all the individuals of his species]; i. e., he is the complete, or perfect, [or we would rather say, preeminent,] in knowledge; and hence, [in the Kur ii. 1,] ذٰلِكَ الكِتَابُ [That is the book, or scripture; as though combining in itself the excellences of all other books or scriptures; or meaning that is preeminently the book, or scripture]: and thirdly, to denote the quiddity, or essence; and this may not have its place supplied by كُلّ used either properly or tropically; as in the saying, [in the Kur xxi. 31,] وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ المَآءِ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَىٍّ [And we have made of water (meaning, accord. to common opinion, sperma genitale,) everything living]; or, accord. to some, it is used in this case to distinguish a thing as known [in a particular sense] by its being conceived in the mind. (Mughnee.) b4: It is also used to denote predominance of application; as in المَدِينَةُ [The city], meaning the city of the Apostle; and الكِتَابُ [The book], meaning the book of Seebaweyh: and in this case, it may not be suppressed, except when the noun is used vocatively, or when it is prefixed to another noun which it governs in the gen. case; and in some anomalous instances, as in هٰذَا عَيُّوقٌ طَالِعًا [This is the star Capella, rising], originally العَيُّوقٌ. (I 'Ak p. 51.) [In a case of this kind, it is said in the Mughnee to be redundant; but I think it is clearly not so in any of the instances here mentioned, except the last; and this I would rather assign to a category yet to be noticed, in which ال is certainly redundant, and, by rule, inseparable.] b5: It is also prefixed to a noun transferred from its original application to that of a proper name; it being so prefixed to convey an allusion to the original signification; and such noun being generally an epithet, as حَارِثٌ; but sometimes an inf. n., as فَضْلٌ; and sometimes a generic noun, as نُعْمَانٌ; so that in any of these cases you may prefix ال, saying الحَارِثُ and الفَضْلُ and النُّعْمَانُ, with a view to the original signification; and you may suppress it, with a view to the actual state [which is that of a proper name]: for when you mean that a name of this kind is given as one ominous of good, you prefix the ال in order to indicate this; as when you say الحَارِثُ with a view to a person's being thus named to prognosticate that he will live and be a tiller, or cultivator; but when you only consider it as a proper name, you do not prefix the ال: thus the prefix ال conveys a meaning not obtained without it; and therefore it is not redundant, as some assert it to be. (I 'Ak p. 50.) [The author of the Mughnee is one of those who consider ال redundant in this case.] b6: It is in some cases redundant: and in some of these, it is inseparable; as in [a proper name which cannot be used with a view to an original application from which it has been transferred to that of a proper name though it may have been so transferred, such as] اللَّاتُ, which is the name of a certain idol that was at Mekkeh [so called because a man used to moisten سَوِيق with clarified butter, for the pilgrims, at the place thereof]; and, accord. to some, [as before mentioned,] in الآنِ; and in the conjunct nouns الَّذِى and its variations, accord. to those who hold that a noun of this kind is rendered determinate by its complement: in other cases, where it is redundant, it is separable; and this is when it is prefixed to a proper name by poetic licence, as in بَنَاتُ الأَوْبَرِ for بَنَاتُ أَوْبَرَ, a species of truffle; or, accord. to Mbr, this is not a proper name, and the ال is not redundant; and when it is prefixed to a specificative, as in طِبْتَ النَّفْسَ for طِبْتَ نَفْسًا, accord. to the Basrees, who hold, in opposition to the Koofees, that the specificative may only be indeterminate; (I 'Ak p. 49;) [and, in like manner, as redundant and separable,] it is irregularly prefixed [by poetic licence] in الأَمْسِ [q. v.], when it is left in its original form with kesr. (T.) b7: Accord. to the Koofees, and some of the Basrees, and many of the later authors, it may also supply the place of the affixed pronoun; and such they hold to be the case in the saying in the Kur [lxxix. 41], فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِىَ الْمَأوِى [Verily Paradise, it shall be his place of abode]; and in مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ حَسَنٍ الوَجْهُ [I passed by a man beautiful in his face]; and ضُرِبَ زَيْدٌ الظَّهْرُ وَالبَطْنُ [Zeyd was beaten, his back and his belly]; when الوجه and الظهر and البطن are thus in the nom. case: but those who deny its being used in this manner hold that لَهُ is to be understood in the verse of the Kur, and مِنْهُ in the other examples: and Ibn-Málik restricts the licence to cases not including the صِلَة [or complement of ال used in the manner which is here next to be explained]. (Mughnee.) b8: It is also a conjunct noun in the sense of الَّذِى and its variations; and as such is prefixed to an act. part. n., and to a pass. part. n., and, as some say, to a simple epithet; (Mughnee, and I' Ak p. 43;) as الضَّارِبُ [which is equivalent to الَّذِى يَضْرِبُ], and المَضْرُوبُ [which is equivalent to الَّذِى ضُرِبَ], and الحَسَنُ الوَجْهِ: (I 'Ak:) but this last not to be regarded, as it cannot be rendered by means of a verb. (Mughnee.) As such, also, it is sometimes prefixed to an adverbial noun, (Mughnee and I 'Ak,) extraordinarily; (I 'Ak;) as in the saying, مَنْ لَا يَزَالُ شَاكِرًا عَلَى يلْمَعَهْ
فَهْوَ حَرٍ بِعِيشَةٍ ذَاتِ سَعَهْ [Whoso ceases not to be grateful, or thankful, for what is with him, or what he has, he is worthy of a state of life such as is attended with plenty.] (Mughnee and I 'Ak.) As such it is also sometimes prefixed to a nominal proposition; as in the saying, مَنَ القَوْمِ الرَّسُولُ اللّٰهِ مِنْهُمْ
لَهُمْ دَانَتْ رِقَابُ بِنَي مَعَدِّ [Of the people of whom is the apostle of God, of those to whom the necks of the sons of Ma' add have become abased]. (Mughnee and I 'Ak.) And as such it is also sometimes prefixed to a verbal proposition, of which the verb is an aor. ; which shows that it is not [in this case] a particle of determination; (Mughnee;) as in the phrase, صَوْتُ الحِمَارِ اليُجَدَّعُ [The voice of the ass that has his ear, or ears, cut off]. (T and Mughnee.) But all these three cases are peculiar to poetry; contrary to the opinion of Akh, and, with respect to the last case, to that of Ibn-Málik. (Mughnee.) [Respecting the last instance, see also art. جدع.] Another instance of its usage prefixed in this sense to an aor. is the saying, مَا أَنْتَ بِالْحَكَمَ التُرْضَى حُكُومَتُهُ [Thou art not the judge whose judgment is approved]; (IAmb, T, I 'Ak) a saying of ElFarezdak: (IAmb, T:) it is an extraordinary case; (I 'Ak;) and is [said to be] an instance of a bad poetic license, the like of which in prose would be an error by common consent. (Expos. of the Shudhoor edh-Dhahab.) In like manner, one says, accord. to Az, هٰذَا اليَضْرِبُكَ, meaning This is he who beats thee; and رَأَيْتُ اليَضْرِبُكَ I saw him who beats thee; and هٰذَا الوُضِعَ لِلشِّعْرِ This is what is appropriated to poetry. (T: [in which this last ex. is perhaps intended to intimate that the prefixing of ال in this manner to a verb is allowable only in poetry.]) b9: The Arabs also say, هَوَ الحَصِينُ أَنْ يُرَامَ وَ هُوَ العَزِيزُ أَنْ يُضَامَ, meaning أَحْصَنُ مِنْ أَنْ يُرَام وَأَعَزُّ مِنْ ذَنْ يُضَام [He is more strongly fortified, or protected against attack, than that he will be sought, or desired, and he is more mighty than that he will be injured; i. e., too strongly fortified, or protected against attack, to be sought, or desired, and too mighty to be injured: see مِن.] (TA in art. لوم. [But الحِصْنُ is there erroneously put for الحَصِينُ.]) A2: Among strange usages, is that of أَلْ as an interrogative, mentioned by Ktr; as in أَلْ فَعَلْتَ in the sense of هَلْ فَعَلْتَ [Didst thou do? or hast thou done?]. (Mughnee.) إِلٌّ Anything which has a quality requiring it to be regarded as sacred, or inviolable; which has some right pertaining to it: and thus used in particular senses here following. (R, TA.) b2: Relationship; or nearness with respect to kindred; (Fr, T, S, M, R, K;) as also ↓ إِلَّةٌ, (Fr, T, K,) of which the pl. is إِلَلٌ. (K.) So in the Kur [ix. 8], لَا يَرْقُبُوا فِيكُمْ إِلَّا (Fr, T) They will not regard, with respect to you, relationship; (Bd, Jel;) accord. to some. (Bd.) And so in a trad. of 'Alee, يَخُونُ العَهْدَ وَ يَقْطَعُ الإِلَّ [He is unfaithful to the covenant, and cuts the tie of relationship]. (TA.) Hassán Ibn-Thábit says, لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّ إِلَّكَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ
كَإِلِّ السَّقْبِ مِنْ رَأْلِ النَّعَامِ [By thy life, thy relationship to Kureysh is like the relationship of the young camel to the young of the ostrich]. (S.) b3: Good origin. (K.) So, accord. to some, in a saying of Aboo-Bekr, which see below. (TA.) b4: I. q. مَعْدِنٌ, (K,) or مَعْدِنٌ صَحِيحٌ [as meaning A place, or person, whence a thing, or person, originates, free from imperfection, or from everything that would induce doubt or suspicion or evil opinion]. (El-Muärrij, TA: [in which the verse of Hassán cited above is given as an ex. of this signification.]) b5: A compact, or covenant; or one by which a person becomes responsible for the safety, or safe-keeping, of a person or thing; syn. عَهْدٌ: (AO, Aboo-Is- hák, T, S, M, R, K:) a confederacy, or league; syn. حِلْفٌ; (Aboo-Is-hák, T, M, K;) and so, accord. to some, in the Kur ubi suprà: (Bd:) a covenant between two parties by which either is bound to protect the other; syn. جُوَارٌ: (Aboo-Is-hák, T, R:) a promise, or an assurance, of security or safety; or indemnity; syn. أَمَانٌ; (K;) a meaning which it has, accord. to some, in the verse of the Kur cited above. (TA.) Hence, وَفِىُّ الإِلِ A fulfiller, performer, or keeper, of the compact, or covenant. (TA, from a trad.) b6: Lordship; syn. رُبُوبِيَّةٌ. (M, K.) So in the Kur ubi suprà, accord. to some. (Bd.) And so in the saying of Aboo-Bekr, above referred to, when he heard the rhyming prose of Museylimeh, هٰذَا كَلَامٌ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ إِلٍّ [This is language which did not proceed from lordship]: so explained by A 'Obeyd: (Suh, TA:) or it has here another signification, mentioned before; the meaning being, which did not come from the origin whence came the Kur-án: or, accord. to some, it has here the signification next following. (TA.) b7: Revelation, or inspiration. (K, TA.) b8: الإِلُّ also signifies God: [like the word אֵל or rather 165 as used in Hebrew:] (T, S, M, K:) so say Mujáhid and Esh-Shaabee: (T:) and so it is said to signify in the verse of the Kur cited above: (T, TA:) [and so it seems to signify in the saying of Aboo-Bekr, also cited above, accord. to the M:] but Aboo-Is- hák disallows this; and so does Suh, in the R. (TA.) Ibn-El-Kelbee says, (M,) when إِلُّ ends any name, it has this meaning, and is the complement of a prefixed noun; and so إِيلُ; (M, K;) as in جَبْرَئِلُّ [and جَبْرَئِيلُ &c.]; and so say most of the learned: (TA:) but this is not a valid assertion; for were it so, جَبْرَئِلُّ and the like would be perfectly decl.: (M:) some say that these names are constructed inversely, after the manner of the language of the 'Ajam; ال and ايل meaning servant, and the first part of the name being a name of God. (Suh, TA.) A2: I. q. شَخْصٌ [used in a pl. sense]. (Mughnee in art. إِلَّا. [See what is said to be an ex. of this meaning in a verse of Dhu-r-Rummeh cited in art. الا in the present work.]) b2: [It is said that] إِلٌّ is also syn. with جَارٌ [A neighbour; &c.]. (K: [and so, accord. to the TA, in the M; but I have consulted the M without finding this explanation, and think it to be probably a mistranscription for جُوَارٌ, (see above,) as in the T and R.]) إِلَّةٌ: see إِلٌّ.

أَمْرٌ إِلَّىٌّ A thing, or an affair, relating, or attributable, to الإِل, meaning either God, or revelation or inspiration. (TA.)
