بيع

1 بَاعَهُ, (S, Mgh, &c.,) aor. ـِ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. بَيْعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and مَبِيعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) which latter is anomalous, (S,) the regular form being مَبَاعٌ, (S, K,) has two contr. significacations: He sold it: and he bought it: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) and ↓ اباعهُ is a dial. var. of the same: (IKtt, Msb:) [but app. only in the former sense:] or this last signifies he offered it for sale; or exposed it to sale: (S, K:) and ↓ ابتاعهُ, as well as بَاعَهُ, signifies he bought it. (S, * Mgh, * Msb, K.) The primary signification of بَيْعٌ is The exchanging, or exchange, of property; or the making an exchange with property; as in the phrases بَيْعٌ رَابِحٌ [an exchange of property bringing gain], and بَيْعٌ خَاسِرٌ [an exchange of property occasioning loss]: and this is a proper signification when it relates to real substances: but it is tropically used to signify the making the contract [of sale and purchase]; because this is the means of giving [and obtaining] possession: [though this signification is what is termed حَقِيقَةٌ عُرْفِيَّةٌ, i. e., a sense so common as to be conventionally regarded as proper:] the phrase صَحَّ البَيْعُ, or بَطَلَ, and the like, mean صَفْقَةُ البَيْعِ; [i. e. The contract of sale, or purchase, was valid, or was null;] but the prefixed n. being suppressed, and its complement [alone] used for it, and this being masc., the verb is made masc. (Msb.) بَاعَ [mostly signifies He sold; and] is doubly trans., both by itself and by means of مِنْ prefixed to the second object; (Mgh, Msb;) this prep. being thus used as a corroborative: (Msb:) you say, بَاعَهُ الشَّىْءَ and بَاعَهُ مِنْهُ [He sold to him the thing and He sold it to him]: (Mgh:) and بِعْتُ زَيْدًا الدَّارَ and بِعْتُ مِنْ زَيْدٍ الدَّارَ [I sold to Zeyd the house: (see also an explanation of the phrase اِسْتَبَعْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ: and see بَاعَهُ مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ: to which might be added countless similar instances; for when باع signifies he sold, مِنْ is generally prefixed to the noun or pronoun denoting the person to whom the thing is sold:)] and sometimes لِ is put in the place of مِنْ; so that you say, بِعْتُكَ الشَّىْءَ and بِعْتُهُ لَكَ [I sold to thee the thing and I sold it to thee]; the ل being redundant [when the verb has this meaning, though not when it has the contr. meaning, as will be seen below]. (Msb.) Of the contr. signification we have an ex. in the saying of ElFarezdak, إِنَّ الشَّبَابَ لَرَابِحٌ مَنْ بَاعَهَا وَالشَّيْبُ لَيْسَ لِبَائِعِيهِ تِجَارُ [Verily youthfulness, he who buys it is a gainer; but hoariness, there are no traffickers for its sellers; the part. a. being here from the verb in the former sense]: (S, TA:) and [often in a case in which the verb is followed by ل; as] in بَاعَ لَهُ الشَّىْءَ He bought for him the thing; (Mgh;) [the ل not being redundant when the verb is used in this sense;] and as in the saying of Tarafeh, وَيَأْتِيكَ بالْأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَمْ تَبِعْ لَهُ بَتَاتًا وَلَمْ تَضْرِبْ لَهُ وَقْتَ مَوْعِدِ [And he will bring thee tidings for whom thou hast not bought travelling-provisions, and for whom thou hast not assigned an appointed time for his bringing them]: (TA:) and in the saying, بَاعَ دُنْيَاهُ بِآخِرَتِهِ (tropical:) [He purchased his enjoyments of the present world at the expense of his enjoyments of the world to come]: (Z, TA:) and [in like manner] you say, زَيْدٌ الدَّارَ ↓ ابتاع, meaning Zeyd bought the house: and لِغَيْرِهِ ↓ ابتاعها He bought it for another person. (Msb.) The verb has this signification, also, in the trad., لَا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى

بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ [One of you shall not buy in opposition to the buying of his brother when an agreement has been manifested but the contract has not been concluded]; (S, IAth, Mgh, Msb; [but in the S and Msb and by IAth, the trad. is related thus; لَا يَخْطُبِ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ وَلَا يَبِعْ عَلَى بَيْعِ

أَخِيهِ; (see art. خطب;)]) as is shown by the relation of Bkh, الرَّجُلُ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ ↓ لَا يَبْتَاعُ: (Mgh, Msb:) or it may here have the contr. meaning: (IAth:) Az says that the seller and buyer are equal in offence when either of them does thus to another. (TA.) [Similar to this is the saying, لَا يَسُومُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ: see art. سوم. See also بَاعَ عَلَى بَيْعِهِ below, used in a tropical sense.] You say also, بَاعَ عَلَيْهِ القَاضِى, meaning The judge sold against his will; (Mgh;) sold without his consent. (Msb.) b2: The pass. form is بِيعَ [It was sold: and it was bought]: (S, K:) optionally either [thus] with kesr to the ب, or [بُيْعَ] with damm to the ب, (S,) [or rather with a sound between that of damm and that of kesr, which pronunciation is termed إِشْمَامٌ;] and some say بُوعَ; (S, K;) changing the ى into و: and thus in the cases of كِيلَ and قِيلَ and the like: (S:) [but Ibn-Málik requires damm or اشمام in the passive of a verb of which the medial radical is ى, and kesr or اشمام in the passive of a verb of which the medial radical is و, to prevent the mistaking of an active verb for a passive in such cases as بِعْتُ and سُمْتُ: others, however, only prefer what Ibn-Málik absolutely requires in these cases. (See I'Ak p. 131.)] b3: You say also, بَاعَهُ مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ, [lit. He sold him to the Sultán,] meaning (tropical:) he slandered him, or calumniated him, to the Sultán. (K, TA.) b4: And بَاعَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى

بَيْعِهِ, [of which the lit. meaning has been shown above,] meaning (tropical:) Such a one superseded him, or occupied his place, in respect of honourable and elevated station or rank, and gained the mastery over him; (K, * TA;) and so حَلَّ بِوَادِيهِ: (TA:) or بَاعَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى بَيْعِ فُلَانٍ means (tropical:) such a one gained the mastery over such a one, and wrested from him that which he sought to obtain from him; and is an old proverb, applied by the Arabs to a man who contends with another, and seeks to obtain a thing from him by superior power or force, when he has succeeded in doing as above explained; and similar to it is the saying شَقَّ فُلَانٌ غُبَارَ فُلَانٍ. (El-Mufaddal Ed-Dabbee, TA.) One also says, مَا بَاعَ عَلَى بَيْعِكَ أَحَدٌ, meaning (assumed tropical:) Not any one has equalled thee. (TA.) A2: بَيْعٌ is also used in the sense of اِنْبِسَاطٌ. (TA in art. بوع.

[See اِنْبَاعَ in that art.]) 3 بَايَعْتُهُ, (S, Mgh, TA,) inf. n. مُبَايَعَةٌ and بِيَاعٌ, (TA,) is from البَيْعُ; and so is ↓ التَّبَايُعُ; (S, TA;) this being syn. with المُبَايَعَةُ. (K, TA.) You say, بَايَعَا and ↓ تَبَايَعَا, meaning They two sold and bought, each with the other: (TK:) and ↓ تَبَايَعْنَا [We sold and bought, one with another]: (Mgh:) and بايعهُ also signifies He bartered, or exchanged commodities, with him. (TA.) [See 1; where a citation from the Msb indicates that this latter is the primary signification accord. to the author of that work.] b2: It is also from البَيْعَةُ; and so is ↓ التَّبَايُعُ: (S, TA: *) المُبَايَعَةُ and ↓ التَّبَايُعُ from البَيْعَةُ signifying The making a covenant, a compact, an engagement, or the like; as though each of the two parties sold what he had to the other, and gave him his own special property, and his obedience, and all that pertained to his case. (TA.) [Hence,] بايع الأَمِيرَ He promised, or swore, allegiance to the prince; making a covenant with him to submit to him the judgment of his own case and of the cases of the Muslims [in general], not to dispute with him in respect of anything thereof, but to obey him in whatever command he might impose upon him, pleasing and displeasing: in doing which, it was usual for the person making this covenant to place his hand in the hand of the prince, in confirmation of the covenant, like as is done by the seller and buyer; wherefore the act was termed بَيْعَةٌ, an inf. n. [of un.] of بَاعَ. (Ibn-Khaldoon, in De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., 2nd ed., ii. 256 — 7.) [and hence the phrases, بُويِعَ بِالِخِلَافَةِ and بُويِعَ لَهُ بِالخِلَافَةِ He had the promise, or oath, of allegiance made to him as being Khaleefeh.] Yousay also, بايعهُ عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. مُبَايَعَةٌ, He made a covenant, a compact, an engagement, or the like, with him, respecting it, or to do it: and ↓ تبايعوا عَلَى الأَمْرِ [they made a covenant, &c., respecting, or to do, the thing, or affair]; like as you say أَصْفَقُوا عَلَيْهِ. (TA.) 4 أَبْيَعَ see 1, first sentence.6 تَبَاْيَعَ see 3, throughout.7 إِنْبَيَعَ انباع It was, or became, saleable, or easy of sale; it had an easy, or a ready, sale: (Ibn-'Abbád, K:) as though quasi-pass. of بَاعَهُ [and therefore primarily signifying it was, or became, sold, or bought]. (TA.) 8 إِبْتَيَعَ see 1, in four places.10 اِسْتَبَعْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ I asked him to sell the thing to me; expl. by سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ مِنِّى; (S, K; *) for instance, عَبْدَهُ [his slave.] (Mgh.) بَيْعٌ inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. b2: It also signifies The hire, or hiring, of land. (TA.) A2: Also A thing sold, or bought: (Mgh, Msb, TA:) a subst. in this sense: (Mgh, TA:) pl. بُيُوعٌ: (Mgh, Msb, TA:) which is also used as a pl. of the inf. n., to signify Kinds of selling and buying. (Mgh.) See also بِيَاعَةٌ.

بَيْعَةٌ [inf. n. of un. of بَاعَ. b2: Hence,] A striking together of the hands of two contracting parties in token of the ratification of a sale. (Msb, TA.) b3: And [hence,] The act of مُبَايَعَة [or promising, or swearing, allegiance and obedience, as explained above, (see 3,)] and submission, or obedience. (Msb, TA.) Whence, أَيْمَانُ البَيْعَةِ [The oaths of allegiance and obedience]; (Ibn-Khaldoon, in De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., 2nd ed., ii. 257; and Msb;) which the Khaleefehs exacted; (Ibn-Khaldoon;) and which El-Hajjáj appointed, including hard, or difficult, matters, relating to divorce and emancipation and fasting and the like. (Msb.) بِيعَةٌ A mode, or manner, of selling or buying. (S, Mgh, K.) Hence, صَاحِبُ بِيعَةٍ [A person occupying himself in any kind of selling or buying]: occurring in a trad. of Ibn-'Omar. (Mgh, TA.) And إِنَّهُ لَحَسَنُ البِيعَةِ [Verily he is good in the manner of selling or buying]. (S, Mgh, TA.) A2: [A Christian church;] a place of worship (K) pertaining to the Christians: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) or, as some say, a synagogue of the Jews: (TA:) pl. بِيَعٌ, (K, TA,) or بِيْعٌ. (Msb: [but this I think a mistake: if correct, it is a coll. gen. n.]) بَيُوعٌ: see بَيِّعٌ.

بَيَاعَةٌ An article of merchandise; (Lth, S, K;) as also ↓ بَيْعٌ [q. v. suprà]: (Mgh:) pl. of the former بِيَاعَاتٌ. (K.) بَيِّعٌ: see بَائِعٌ, in five places. b2: Also A man who sells, or buys, well; and so ↓ بَيُوعٌ: fem. of the former with ة: pl. mase. بَيِّعُونَ, and pl. fem.

بَيِّعَاتٌ; neither the masc. nor the fem. having a broken pl. (TA.) بَيَّاعٌ A man who sells, or buys, much. (TA.) بَائِعٌ Selling, or a seller: and buying, or a buyer: (Msb, K, * TA:) as also ↓ بَيِّعٌ: (K:) the former signification is the more obvious when بائع is used without restriction: (Msb:) and ↓ بَيِّعٌ also signifies [accord. to some] a bargainer, or chafferer; (K, TA;) not a seller nor a buyer; but Esh-Sháfi'ee and Az deny that this epithet is applied to a man before he has concluded the contract: (L, TA:) the pl. of بائع is بَاعَةٌ: (ISd, K:) and the pl. of ↓ بيّع is بِيَعَآءُ [or rather this is a quasi-pl. n.] and أَبْيعَآءُ: (K:) and Kr holds that بَاعَةٌ is pl. of بيّع. (TA.) ↓ البَيِّعَانِ signifies The seller and the buyer; (S, Mgh;) and so ↓ المُتَبَايِعَانِ. (TA.) It is said in a trad., بِالخِيَارِ مَا ↓ البَيِّعَانِ لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا, and in another, ↓ المُتَبَايِعَانِ, [The seller and the buyer have the option of cancelling the contract as long as they have not separated.] (TA.) b2: اِمْرَأَةٌ بَائِعٌ (tropical:) A woman who easily obtains a suitor; or who is much in demand; by reason of her beauty: (K, TA:) as though she sold herself: like نَاقَةٌ تَاجِرَةٌ. (Z, TA.) مَبِيعٌ Sold: and bought: as also ↓ مَبْيُوعٌ: (S, K:) in the latter sense syn. with ↓ مُبْتَاعٌ. (Msb.) Kh says that the letter suppressed in مَبِيعٌ is the و of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, because it is augmentative: but Akh says that the letter suppressed is the medial radical; for when they made the ى quiescent, they transferred its vowel to the letter before it, so that it became madmoomeh, [the word thus being altered to مَبُيْوعٌ,] then they changed the dammeh into kesreh because of the ى after it, then the ى was suppressed, and the و was changed into ى, like the و of مِيزَانٌ, because of the kesreh: accord. to El-Mázinee, each of these sayings is good; but that of Akh is the more agreeable with analogy. (S.) مَبْيُوعٌ: see مَبِيعٌ.

مُبْتَاعٌ: see مَبِيعٌ.

مُتَبَايِعٌ: see بَائِعٌ, in two places.

(Th, T, TA.) You say, بَدَّلْتُهُ, inf. n. تَبْدِيلٌ, (M, * Msb, K,) meaning I changed it, or altered it; (M, K) or I changed, or altered, the form, or fashion, or semblance, or the quality, or condition, of it; (Msb;) as in the phrase, بَدَّلْتُ الخَاتَمَ بِالحَلْقَةِ [I changed, or altered, the signet-ring into the simple ring], said when one has melted the former and made of it a simple ring; (Fr, T, TA;) and بَدَّلَ اللّٰهُ السَّيِئَّاتِ حَسَنَاتٍ [God changed the evil deeds into good deeds]; the verb being doubly trans. by itself because it has the meaning of جَعَلَ and صَيَّرَ. (Msb. [But see what follows.]) ↓ أَبْدَلْتُهُ بِكَذَا, [in the S, أَبْدَلْتُ الشَّىْءَ بِغَيْرِهِ, without explanation,] inf. n. إِبْدَالٌ, [I changed it by substituting for it such a thing, or exchanged it for such a thing, or replaced it with such a thing,] is said when one has removed the first, and put the second in its place; (Msb;) as in the phrase, أَبْدَلْتُ الخَاتَمَ بِالحَلْقَةِ [I changed the signet-ring by substituting for it the simple ring; exchanged the signet-ring for the simple ring; or replaced the signet-ring with the simple ring]; said when one removes the one, and puts the other in its place: (Fr, T, TA:) and this verb is also made doubly trans. by itself, like بَدَّلْتُ, (Msb,) which is used in the sense of أَبْدَلْتُ [as shown above]; (Mbr, T, TA;) for instance, where it is said, [in the Kur lxvi. 5,] عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ

أَزْوَجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ [May-be, his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in exchange wives better than you]; accord to one reading, يُبَدِّلَهُ (Msb.) An ex. of the latter of these two verbs in the sense of the former is the saying in the Kur [xxv. 70], يُبَدِّلُ اللّٰهُ سَيِّآتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ [God will change their evil deeds by substituting for them good deeds]; i. e. will cancel the evil deeds and put in their place good deeds: but in the saying in the Kur [iv. 59], كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُمْ بَدَّلْنَاهُمْ جُلُودًا غَيْرَهَا [Whenever their skins are thoroughly burned, we will change the condition thereof to them into the condition of other skins], the meaning is, that the first condition of their skins shall be restored; so that the substance is one, but the condition is different. (Mbr, T, TA.) You say also, بَدَّلَهُ اللّٰهُ مَنَ الخَوْفِ أَمْنًا [God gave him in exchange for fear, or in lieu of fear, security]. (S.) [and بَدَّلَهُ بِهِ كَذَا He gave him in exchange for it, or in lieu of it, such a thing: see Kur xxxiv. 15.

And بدّل مَكَانَهُ كَذَا He gave in exchange for it, or in lieu of it, such a thing: see Kur vii. 93 and xvi. 103.] بَدَّلَ حُسْنًا بَعْدَ سُوْءٍ, in the Kur [xxvii. 11], means He hath done good [by way of exchange after evil]; i. e., repented; (Jel;) or بَدَّلَ ذَنْبُهُ بِالتَوْبَةِ [hath exchanged his sin for repentance]. (Bd.) تَبْدِيلٌ and ↓ إِبْدَالٌ both signify The act of exchanging [a thing for another thing]; or making [a thing] to be a substitute [for another thing]; (KL, PS;) and so does ↓ بَدَالٌ. (KL.) You say, بدّل الشَّىْءَ مِنَ الشَىْءِ, (M, K, *) and مِنْهُ ↓ ابدلهُ, i. e. اِتَّخَذَهُ مِنْهُ بَدلًا [here meaning He exchanged the thing for the thing; or, more literally, he made the thing a substitute for the thing]. (M, K. [In the text of the former of these, as given in the TT, instead of اِتَّخَذَهُ, I find تَخِذَ (a dial. var. of اِتَّخَذَ) without the affixed pronoun, which is meant to be understood or is omitted inadvertently by the transcriber: and here it should be observed, that the explanation which I have rendered as above admits of another meaning, namely, أَخَذَهُ مِنْهُ بَدَلًا

“he took it as a substitute for it:” in the M, immediately before, أَخَذَهُ مِنْهُ بَدَلًا is given as the explanation of the phrases تبدّل الشَّىْءَ and بِالشَّىْءِ, and استبدلهُ and بِهِ: see 10.]) You say also, الثَّوْبَ بِغَيْرِهِ ↓ بَدَلْتُ, aor. ـُ [inf. n. بَدَالٌ, mentioned and explained above, I exchanged the garment, or piece of cloth, for another; or made it to be a substitute for another;] and ↓ اِسْتَبْدَلْتُهُ بِغَيْرِهِ signifies the same. (Msb. [But the latter phrase has more frequently another meaning, explained below: see 10.]) [↓ ابدلهُ in the phrases ابدلهُ كَذَا as meaning He changed it into, or substituted for it, such a thing, and ابدلهُ مِنْ كَذَا as meaning he changed it from, or substituted it for, such a thing, is more common than بدّله, which is used in the same sense; as ↓ بَدَلَهُ is also; for] AO applies the term ↓ مَبْدُولٌ [in lieu of the more common term ↓ مُبْدَلٌ] to a letter that is changed from another letter, as in مَدَهْتُهُ for مَدَحْتُهُ; and this shows that بَدَلْتُ is trans. [and signifies I changed, &c.]. (Az, TA.) 3 مُبَادَلَةٌ and ↓ تَبَادَلٌ signify the same, (S,) namely, The act of exchanging with another or others. (PS.) You say, بادلهُ, inf. n. مُبَادَلَةٌ and بِدَالٌ [in the CK erroneously written with fet-h to the ب], He exchanged, or made an exchange, with him; or] he gave him the like of that which he took, or received, from him; (IDrd, * M, K;) for instance, a garment, or piece of cloth, in the place of another; (Lth, T, Msb, * in explanation of the former inf. n.;) and a brother in the place of a brother. (Lth, T.) And ↓ تَبَادَلَا They exchanged, or made an exchange, each with the other; or each gave to the other the like of that which he took, or received, from him. (TA.) نُبَادِلُهْ, ending a verse of El-Kulákh, means for whom we would take a substitute: El-Marzookee says, it is for نُبَادِلُ بِهِ النَّاسَ [for whom we would make an exchange with the people]; the preposition being suppressed. (Ham p. 465.) 4 ابدلهُ, inf. n. إِبْدَالٌ: see 2, in five places.5 تبدّل It (a thing, M) became changed, or altered. (M, K.) b2: In the saying of the rájiz, فَبُدِّلَتْ وَالدَّهْرُ ذُو تَبَدُّلِ the meaning is, ذو تَبْدِيل [i. e. the meaning of the whole is, And, or but, she was changed, or altered; for time has the property of changing, or altering]. (M.) A2: See also 10, in three places.6 تَبَاْدَلَ see 3, in two places.10 استبدل الشَّىْءَ and بِالشَّىْءِ, and ↓ تبدّلهُ and بِهِ, (M, K, *) He took a substitute, or a thing in exchange, for the thing. (M.) You say, استبدل الشَّىْءَ بِغَيْرِهِ, and بِهِ ↓ تبدّلهُ, He took the thing [as a substitute, or in exchange, for another; or] in the place of another. (S.) And استبدل ثَوْبًا مَكَانَ ثَوْبٍ [He took a garment, or piece of cloth, in the place, or in lieu, of a garment, &c.]; and أَخًا مَكَانَ أَخٍ [a brother in the place, or in lieu, of a brother]. (Lth, T.) It is said in the Kur [ii. 58], أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ الَّذِى هُوَ أَدْنَى بِالَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ Will ye take in exchange that which is worse for that which is better? (Jel. [See also other exs. in the Kur ix. 39 and xlvii. last verse.]) and الكُفْرَ بِالْإِيمَانِ ↓ مَنْ يَتَبَدَّلِ [Whoso adopteth infidelity in lieu of faith]. (Kur ii. 102. [See also other exs. in the Kur iv. 2 and xxxiii. 52.]) b2: See also 2, last sentence but one.

بِدْلٌ: see the next paragraph, in four places.

بَدَلٌ and ↓ بِدْلٌ, (Fr, T, S, M, Msb, K,) like مَثَلٌ and مِثْلٌ, and شَبَهٌ and شِبْهٌ, (Fr, T, S,) and نَكَلٌ and نِكَلٌ, the only other instances of the kind, i. e. of words of both these measures, that have been heard, accord. to AO, (S, TA, [but in one copy of the S, I find A'Obeyd,]) and ↓ بَدِيلٌ (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) all signify the same; (S, M, Msb, K;) namely, A substitute; a thing given, or received, or put, or done, instead of, in place of, in lieu of, or in exchange for, another thing; a compensation; syn. خَلَفٌ, (M, K,) and عِوَضٌ: (Kull:) بَدَلُ الشَّىْءِ [and البَدَلُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ] and ↓ بِدْلُهُ ↓ بَدِيلُهُ meaning الخَلَفُ مِنْهُ [the substitute for the thing; &c.]; (M, K;) i. e., another thing: (S:) pl. أَبْدَالٌ, (IDrd, Msb, K,) which, as pl. of ↓ بَدِيلٌ, has few parallels. (IDrd, TA.) Sb says, [making a distinction between بَدَلٌ and ↓ بَدِيلٌ,] you say, إِنَّ بَدَلَكَ زَيْدٌ, i. e. Verily Zeyd is in thy place: but if you put بَدَل in the place of بَدِيلِ, you say, إِنَّ بَدَلَكَ زَيْدٌ, i. e. ↓ إِنَّ بِدَيلَكَ زَيْدٌ [Verily thy substitute is Zeyd]: and a man says to another, Go thou with such a one; and he replies, مَعِىَ رَجُلٌ بَدَلُهُ, i. e. With me is a man who stands in his stead, and is in his place, or who will stand &c. (M.) You say also, بَلَ كَذَا [and بَدَلًا مِنْ كَذَا], meaning Instead of, in the place of, in lieu of, or in exchange for, such a thing. (Kull.) [And بَدَلَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا Instead of thy doing thus.] b2: الأَبْدَالُ (IDrd, S, M, K, &c.) and البُدَلَآءُ (TA) [The Substitutes, or Lieutenants;] certain righteous persons, of whom the world is never destitute; when one dies, God substituting another in his place: (S:) certain persons by means of whom God rules the earth; (M, K;) consisting of seventy men, (IDrd, M, K,) according to their assertion, of whom the earth is never destitute; (IDrd, TA;) forty of whom are in Syria, and thirty in the other countries; (IDrd, M, K;) none of them dying without another's supplying his place, (M, K,) from the rest of mankind; (K;) and therefore they are named ابدال: (M:) accord. to Abu-lBakà, as stated by El-Munáwee, it seems that they meant [by this appellation] the substitutes and successors of the prophets; and accord. to some, they were seven, neither more nor fewer, by means of whom God takes care of the seven climates; one being successor of Abraham (ElKhaleel), and to him pertains the first climate; the second, of Moses (El-Keleem); the third, of Aaron; the fourth, of Idrees; the fifth, of Joseph; the sixth, of Jesus; and the seventh, of Adam: (TA: [in which is also mentioned a treatise denying their existence, and disapproving of the assertion that by means of them God takes care of the earth:]) the sing. is بَدَلٌ and ↓ بِدْلٌ, (T,) or ↓ بَدِيلٌ. (IDrd, S.) b3: حُرُوفُ البَدَلِ (M, K) The letters of substitution; those which are substituted for other letters; not those which are substituted in consequence of idghám. (M.) [The letters included under this appellation differ accord. to different authors: see De Sacy's Gram. Ar.

2nd ed. i. 33.] b4: ↓ بِدْلٌ (Kr, M, K) and بَدَلٌ (M, K,) applied to a man, also signify Generous, and noble: (Kr, * M, K:) and used in these senses, [says ISd,] they are, in my opinion, not devoid of implication of the meaning of a substitute: (M:) the pl. is أَبْدَالٌ (M, K.) بَدِيلٌ: see بَدَلٌ, in six places بَدَّالٌ A seller of eatables (A Heyth, T, K) of every kind: thus he is called by the Arabs; (A Heyth, T;) because he changes one sale for another; selling one thing to-day and another to-morrow: (AHát, TA:) the vulgar say, بَقَّالٌ. (A Heyth, T, K.) b2: Also One who has no more property than is sufficient for his purchasing one thing, and who, when he sells this, buys another thing in exchange for it. (TA in art. جدل.) [Hence,] هٰذَا رَأْىُ الجَدَّالِينَ وَالبَدَّالِينَ is a phrase used as meaning This is flimsy opinion. (TA in the present art. and in art. جدل, [but in the latter without the و,] on the authority of AHeyth.) مُبْدَلٌ: see 2.

مَبْدَلٌ: see 2.

(Msb. [But in this last work it seems to be مثبْهِمَةٌ, which is not agreeable with common usage.]) In the copies of the K, بُهْمٌ and بُهُمٌ are given as pls. of this word: but it seems that there is an omission or a misplacement in the passage; for these are said to be pls. of بَهِيمٌ, as shown above. (TA.) b7: (assumed tropical:) In a state of swooning or insensibility, speechless, and without discrimination; in consequence of a blow [&c.]. (TA.) b8: See also بَهِيمٌ.

دَرْبٌ is not a word of Arabic origin: (Msb:) الدَّرْبٌ is [the Arabic name of the ancient Derbe, near the Cilician Gates, which were the chief mountain-pass, from the direction of the countries occupied by the Arabs, into the territory of the Greek Empire: these “ Gates ” are mentioned by El-Idreesee as fortified, and guarded by troops who watched the persons going and coming:] a well-known place in الرُّوم [or the territory of the Greek Empire], mentioned by Imra-el-Keys, [as El-Idreesee also says,] in the words, بَكَى صَاحِبِى لَمَّا رَأَى الدَّرْبَ حَوْلَهُ [My companion wept when he saw the درب around him; knowing himself to be in the power of the Greeks].

(M, K, TA.) One says, مَا زِلْتُ

أَعْفُو عَنْ فُلَانٍ حَتَّى اتَّخَذَهَا دُرْبَةً [I ceased not to forgive such a one until he took it as a habit]. (T, * S.) دَرَبُوتٌ (Lh, M, K [in the CK دَرَبُوبٌ]) and ↓ دَرُوبٌ, (K,) the former like تَرَبُوتٌ, in which the [initial] ت is [said to be] a substitute for د, (Lh, M,) A he-camel, (M, K,) or such as is termed بَكْرٌ, (Lh, M,) and a she-camel, (Lh, M, K,) submissive, or tractable, (M, K,) or rendered submissive or tractable: and a she-camel that will follow a person if he takes hold of her lip or her eyelash. (Lh, M, K. [But I read بِهُدْبِ عَيْنِهَا, as in the explanation of تَرَبُوتٌ in the TA, instead of نَهَزْتَ عَيْنَهَا in the M and CK in this art., and نَهَزَتْ عَيْنُهَا in my MS. copy of the K. See also تَرَبُوتٌ.]) دَرُوبٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

b2: دبّر عَبْدَهُ, (M, Msb,) inf. n. as above, (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He made his slave to be free after his own death, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) saying to him, Thou art free after my death: (T, TA:) he made the emancipation of his slave to depend upon his own death. (TA.)

b3: دبّر

الحَدِيثَ, (inf. n. as above, K,) He related the tradition, narrative, or story, having received it, or heard it, from another person: (As, T, S, K: *) and هُوَ يُدَبِّرُ حَدِيثَ فُلَانٍ He relates the tradition, &c., of, or received from, or heard from, such a one: (As, S:) and دبّر الحَدِيثَ عَنْهُ; (M;) or عَنْهُ ↓ دَبَرَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـُ (TA;) He related the tradition, &c., having received it, or heard it, from him, (S, M, K,) after his death: (S, K:) Sh says that دبّر الحَدِيثَ is unknown; but so the phrase is related on the authority of A'Obeyd: Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà [i. e. Th] disallows يُدَبِّرُهُ as meaning he relates it; and says that it is يَذْبُرُهُ, with ذ, meaning “he knows it, or learns it, well, soundly, or thoroughly;” syn. يُتْقِنُهُ. (T.)

3 دابرهُ, (S, A, *) inf. n. مُدَابَرَةٌ and دِبَارٌ, (K,) [He turned his back upon him: see 6.

b2: and hence,] (assumed tropical:) He severed himself from him, and avoided him, or shunned him; (TA;) became

at variance with him; (A;) regarded him, or treated him, with enmity, or hostility. (S, A, K.)

And دابر رَحِمَهُ (assumed tropical:) He cut, or severed, the ties, or bonds, of his relationship; disunited himself from his relations. (A.)

b3: دَابَرْتُهَا I made a slit such as is termed إِدْبَارَة in her (a ewe's or goat's or camel's) ear. (As, S, K.)

A2: See also 4.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[See دَبِيرٌ.])

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

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

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

5 تَدَبَّخَ see 2, in nine places.

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

وَلَا تَعْرِفُونَ الأَمْرَ إِلَّا تَدَبُّرَا

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

(M.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

b2: See also دَبَرِىٌّ.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

b4: See also دِبْرٌ.

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

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

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

دِبْرٌ: see دَبْرٌ, last sentence but two, and last sentence.

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

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

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

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

بِدَبَرْ فَشَهْرٌ نِتَاجْ وَشَهْرٌ مَطَرْ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الشِّعْرَى بِقَبَلْ

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

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

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

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

A3: Also inf. n. of دَبِرَ. (M, Mgh.)

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

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

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

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

b2: In the phrase رَجُلٌ

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

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

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

You say, وَلَّى دُبُرَهُ [lit., He turned his back; and tropically,] (tropical:) he was put to flight. (A.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

b6: عِتْقَ العَبْدِ عَنْ

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

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

دَبْرَةٌ: see دُبُرٌ.

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

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

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

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

b2: See also إِدْبَارَةٌ.

A2: And see دَبْرٌ, near the end.

دَبَرَةٌ: see دَبْرَةٌ: A2: and see also دَبَرٌ.

دَبَرَى: see 1.

دَبْرِىٌّ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

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

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

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

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

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

دُبُرِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

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

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

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

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

دِبَارٌ: see دَبَرِىٌّ, in two places.

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

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

A2: See also دَبْرٌ: A3: and دُبَارٌ.

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

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

A2: See also دَبْرٌ, last sentence but two.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

دِبَارَةٌ: see دَبْرٌ.

دُبَيْرَةٌ: see دَبْرٌ.

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

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

And الدَّلْوُ بَيْنَ قَابِلٍ وَدَابِرٍ The bucket is between one who advances with it to the well and one who goes back, or returns, with it to the wateringtrough. (A.) And جَعَلَهُ دَابِرَ أُذُنِهِ: see دَبْرٌ.

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

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

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

(TA.) [See an ex. in a verse cited in art. خض.]

فُلَانٌ مُسْتَدْبِرٌ المَجْدِ مُسْتَقْبِلُهُ (tropical:) Such a one is [as though he had behind him and before him honour or dignity or nobility; meaning that he is] generous, or noble, in respect of his first and his last acquisition of honour or dignity. (TA.
