(M.) A2: See also بَصِيرَةٌ.

(B.) [Sometimes it is opposed to بَصَرٌ, as in the first and second of the following exs.] أَهُونُ مِنْ عِمَى البَصَائِرِ ↓ عَمَى الأَبْصَارِ [Blindness of the eyes is a lighter thing than blindness of the perceptive faculties of the mind]. (A.) When Mo'áwiyeh said to Ibn-(??)Abbás, يَابَنِى

↓ هَاشِمٍ تُصَابُونَ فِى أَبْصَارِكُمْ [O sons of Háshim, ye are afflicted in your eyes], the latter replied, وَأَنْتُمْ يَا بَنِى أُمَيَّةَ تُصَابُونَ فِى بَصَائِرِكُمْ [And ye, O sons of Umeiyeh, are afflicted in your perceptive faculties of the mind]. (M.) and the Arabs say, أَعْمَى اللّٰهُ بَصَائِرَةُ May God blind his faculties of understanding! And one says, لَهُ فِرَاسَةٌ ذَاتُ بَصِيرَةٍ, and بَصَائِرَ, (tropical:) He possesses true intuitive perception. (A.) And رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ ذَاتَ البَصَائِرِ (tropical:) [I saw impressed upon thee the signs of perceptive faculties of the mind]. (A.) b2: Also Belief, or firm belief, of the heart, or mind. (M, K.)

(M.) ElAs'ar El-Joafee says, رَاحوا بَصَائِرُهُمْ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمْ وَبَصِيرَتِى يَعْدُو بِهَا عَتَدٌ وَأَى

[They went with their blood upon their shoulderblades; but my blood, a ready and swift and strong horse runs with it]; meaning, they neglected the blood of their father, and left it behind them; i. e., they did not take revenge for it; but I have sought my blood-revenge: (S, M: *) but see another explanation in what follows. (S. [See also Ham p. 59.]) b6: (tropical:) A witness: (Lh, S, * M, Mgh, K:) an observer and a witness. (A.) بَلِ الإِنْسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ, in the Kur [lxxv. 14], means (tropical:) Nay, the man shall be witness against himself: (S, Mgh:) or it means that his arms, or hands, and his legs, or feet, and his tongue, shall be witnesses against him on the day of resurrection: (M:) Akh says that it is like the saying to a man, أَنْتَ حُجَّةٌ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ: (S:) the ة is added because the members are meant thereby; (B;) or to give intensiveness to the signification, (Mgh, B,) as in عَلَّامَةٌ and رَاوِيَةٌ; (B;) or because the meaning is عَيْنٌ بَصِيرَةٌ. (Mgh.) You say also, اِجْعَلْنِى بَصِيرَةً عَلَيْهِمْ (tropical:) Make thou me an observer of them and a witness against them. (Lh, * M, * A.) b2: An example by which one is admonished: (K:) pl. بَصَائِرُ; which is said to be used agreeably with this interpretation in the Kur xxviii. 43. (TA.)

(TA.) Accord. to AO, the verse of El-Joafee cited above commences thus: حَمَلُوا بَصَائِرَهُمْ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمْ and the meaning is, [They bore] their shields [upon their shoulder-blades]; or their coats of mail.

(TA.) بَاصِرٌ: see بَصِيرٌ. b2: لَمْحٌ بَاصِرٌ (tropical:) An intent, or a hard, glance: (M, K:) or a very intent or hard glance. (S.) You say, أَرَيْتُهُ لَمْحًا بَاصِرًا (tropical:) I showed him a very intent or hard glance: (S, M: *) باصرا being here used for the augmented epithet [مُبْصِرًا]; (M;) or it is a possessive epithet, (Yaakoob, M,) like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ, meaning ذُو بَصَرٍ, from أَبْصَرْتُ, like مَوْتٌ مَائِتٌ from

أَمَتُّ; and it means I showed him a severe thing. (S.) And لَقِىَ مِنْهُ لَمْحًا بَاصِرًا (tropical:) He experienced from him a manifest, or an evident, thing. (M. [See also art. لمح.]) And رَأَى فُلَانٌ لَمْحًا بَاصِرًا (tropical:) Such a one beheld a terrible thing. (Lth, TA.) And أَرَانِى الزَّمَانُ لَمْحًا بَاصِرًا (tropical:) Fortune showed me a terrifying thing.

[As such,] He spread it; spread it out, or forth; expanded it; extended it; (S, Msb, K, B;) as also ↓بسّطهُ: (K:) and he made it wide, or ample: these are the primary significations; and sometimes both of them may be conceived; and sometimes, one of them: and the verb is also used, metaphorically, as relating to anything which cannot be conceived as composed or constructed: (B:) and بَصْطٌ is the same as بَسْطٌ, (S, and K in art. بصط,) in all its meanings. (K.) You say, بَسَطَ الثَّوْبَ [He spread, spread out, expanded, or unfolded, the garment, or piece of cloth]. (Msb.) And بَسَطَ رِجْلَهُ (tropical:) [He stretched forth, or extended, his leg]. (TA.)

(M, TA.) بَسْطُ اليَدِ and الكَفِّ is sometimes used to denote assaulting and smiting: [as in the last of the exs. given above; and] as in the words of the Kur [lx. 2], وَيَبُسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوْءِ (tropical:) [And they will stretch forth towards you their hands and their tongues with evil]; (TA;) i. e., by slaying, (Bd, Jel,) and smiting, (Jel,) and reviling.

(TA.) And sometimes to denote taking, or taking possession, or seizing: as in the saying, (TA,) بُسِطَتْ يَدُهُ عَلَيْهِ (tropical:) [His hand was stretched forth against him]; i. e. he was made to have dominion over him by absolute force and power. (K, TA.) And sometimes to denote seeking, or demanding: [as in بَسَطَ كَفَّيْهِ فِى الدُّعَآءِ (tropical:) He expanded his two hands in supplication; a common action, in which the two hands are placed together like an open book upon a desk before the face, in supplicating God:] see بَاسِطٌ, below. (TA.) b2: [And hence,] بَسَطْتُ لَهُ أَمْرِى (tropical:) I displayed, or laid open, to him my state, or case, or affair; syn. فَرَشْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ: (A in art. فرش:) and أَمْرَهُ [his state, &c.].

And] بَسَطَهُ, alone, [signifies the same; or] (tropical:) it rejoiced him; rendered him joyous, or cheerful: (M, K, TA:) because, when a man is rejoiced, his countenance becomes unwrinkled (يَنْبَسِطُ), and he becomes changed [and cheerful] in [its] complexion: it is wrongly said, by MF, to be not tropical: that it is tropical is asserted by Z, in the A: MF also says that it is not post-classical; and in this he is right; for it occurs in a saying of Mohammad: thus in a trad. respecting Fátimeh, يَبْسُطُنِى مَا يَبْسُطُهَا What rejoices her rejoices me: (TA:) [see also قَبَضَهُ, where this saying is cited according to another relation:] ↓أَبْسَطَنِى [as signifying (tropical:) it rejoiced me] is a mistake of the vulgar [obtaining in the present day]. (TA.) b7: [Hence also,] الخَيْرُ يَقْبِضُهُ وَالشَّرُّ يَبْسُطُهُ (tropical:) [Wealth makes him closefisted, tenacious, or niggardly; and poverty makes him open-handed, liberal, or generous].

↓بِسَطَانِ: (TA:) the meaning is, (tropical:) Nay, his hands are liberal, or bountiful; the phrase being a simile; for in this case there is no hand, nor any stretching forth. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., لِمُسِىْءِ النَّهَارِ حَتَّى يَتُوبَ ↓يَدَا اللّٰهِ بُسْطَانِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَلِمُسِىْءِ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى يَتُوبَ بِالنَّهَارِ, (K, * TA,) or, accord. to one relation, ↓ بِسْطَانِ, (TA,) meaning (tropical:) God is liberal in forgiveness to the evil-doer of the day-time until he repent [in the night, and to the evil-doer of the night-time until he repent in the day]: for a king is said to be اليَدِ↓مَبْسُوطُ when he is (tropical:) liberal in his gifts by command and by sign, although he gives nothing thereof with his hand, nor stretches it forth with them at all.

بضع

1 بَضَعَهُ, (S, Msb,) aor. ـَ (Msb,) inf. n. بَضْعٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) He cut it; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) namely, flesh, or flesh-meat: (S, TA:) and it (a sword) cut a piece off from it; namely, a thing: (As, S:) and he cut it in pieces; namely, flesh, or flesh-meat: (K, TA:) and ↓ بضّعهُ, inf. n. تَبْضِيعٌ, has the first of these significations: (K: [but only the inf. n. is there mentioned:]) or this latter signifies he cut it much, or in several pieces, or in many pieces. (Msb, TA. *) b2: He slit it; or cut it lengthwise; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) namely, flesh, or flesh-meat, (Msb,) or a wound, (S, TA,) and a vein, and a hide. (S.) b3: [And hence,] بَضَعَهَا, (Sb, Msb, TA,) aor. ـَ (Msb,) inf. n. بَضْعٌ (K, TA) and بُضْعٌ, like شُكْرٌ and شُغْلٌ and كُفْرٌ, for فُعْلٌ is not rare as a measure of inf. ns., (Sb, TA,) or accord. to some it is an inf. n. of this verb, (Msb,) but accord. to others it is a simple subst., (TA,) (tropical:) Inivit eam; he lay with her, or compressed her; (Sb, Msb, K, TA;) as also ↓ باضعها, (Msb,) inf. n. مُبَاضَعَةٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and بِضَاعٌ: (S, Msb, K:) because in the act which it signifies is a kind of slitting. (Mgh.) You say, مَلَكَ بُضْعَهَا, i. e. جِمَاعَهَا. (Msb.) And it is said in a prov., ↓ كَمُعَلِّمَةِ أُمَّهَا البِضَاعَ (tropical:) [Like her who teaches her mother المُجَامَعَة]. (S.) b4: بَضْعٌ also signifies (tropical:) The taking in marriage: (K, TA:) and بُضْعٌ, as an inf. n., (assumed tropical:) The making a contract of marriage. (Msb.) 2 بَضَّعَ see 1.3 بَاْضَعَ see 1, in two places.4 ابضعها, (Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِبْضَاعٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) (tropical:) He gave her in marriage. (Mgh, Msb, K.) It is said in a trad., (TA,) تُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَآءُ فِى إِبْضَاعِهِنَّ (tropical:) Women shall be consulted respecting the giving them in marriage: (T, Mgh, Msb, TA:) or, accord. to one relation, ↓ أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ, (Mgh, Msb,) which [virtually] means the same; (Msb;) but this is a pl., namely, of بُضْعٌ. (Mgh, Msb.) A2: ابضع الشَّىْءَ He made the thing to be بِضَاعَة [i. e. an article of merchandise], (S, K, TA,) whatever it was; (TA;) as also ↓ استبضعهُ: (S, K:) or الشَّىْءَ ↓ اِسْتَبْضَعْتُ signifies I made [or took] the thing as بضاعة [an article of merchandise] for myself: and you say, أَبْضَعْتُهُ غَيْرِى [I made it, or gave it as, an article of merchandise to another than me]: (Mgh, Msb:) and ابضعهُ البِضَاعَةَ he gave him the article of merchandise. (TA.) Hence the phrase, in a trad. relating to El-Medeeneh, accord. to one relation, تُبْضِعُ طِيبَهَا, meaning (assumed tropical:) It gives the good that it possesses to its inhabitants; as explained by Z; but accord. to the relation commonly known, it is تَنْصَعُ, with ن and with the unpointed ص; [meaning “it purifies;”; (L in art. نصع;)] and there are two other relations, which are تَنْضَخُ and تَنْضَخُ. (TA.) 7 انبضع It was, or became, cut, or cut off. (K, TA.) 8 ابتضع مِنْهُ He took, or received, [merchandise] from him. (TA: [in which the word بِضَاعَةً

requires to be supplied in the explanation, and is indicated by the context.]) 10 اِسْتِبْضَاعٌ denotes a kind of matrimonial connection practised by people in the Time of Ignorance; i. e., A woman's desiring sexual intercourse with a man only to obtain offspring by him: a man of them used to say to his female slave or his wife, أَرْسِلِى إِلَى فُلَان فَآسْتَبْضِعِى مِنْهُ [Send thou to such a one, and demand of him sexual intercourse to obtain offspring]; and he used to separate himself from her, and not touch her, until her pregnancy by that man became apparent: and this he did from a desire of obtaining generous offspring. (IAth, TA.) A2: See also 4, in two places.

بَضْعٌ: see بِضْعٌ, first sentence, and near the end: and see also بَضْعَةٌ.

بُضْعٌ Initus; sexual intercourse: (Mgh, Msb, K:) a subst., (Mgh, Msb, TA,) accord. to some; but accord. to others, an inf. n.; (Msb;) held by Sb to be the latter: (TA:) [see 1:] and marriage; or the taking in marriage; syn. نِكَاحٌ; (ISk, S, Msb, TA;) [which has also the first of the meanings given above;] as in the phrase مَلَكَ فُلَانٌ بُضْعَ فُلَانَةَ [explained above (see 1)]: (ISk, S:) or, (K,) in this phrase, (Mgh,) (tropical:) the pudendum muliebre; the vulva; (Az, Mgh, Msb, K, * TA;) and so in the saying, in a trad., عُتِقَ بُضْعُكِ فَاخْتَارِى (tropical:) Thy vulva hath become freed, therefore choose thou whether thou wilt remain with thy husband or separate thyself from him; (TA;) and in the saying, تُسْتَأْمَرُ النِّسَآءُ فِى أَبْضَاعِهِنَّ, accord. to those who thus relate it, others saying إِبْضَاعِهِنَّ; (see 4;) أَبْضَاعٌ being pl. of بُضْعٌ. (Mgh, Msb.) b2: Also (tropical:) The marriage-contract. (K.) b3: And (tropical:) A dowry; or gift given to, or for, a bride: (K, TA:) pl. بُضُوعٌ. (TA.) So in the saying of 'Amr Ibn-Maadee-Kerib, وَفِى كَعْبٍ وَإِخْوَتِهَا كِلَابٍ

سَوَامِى الطَّرْفِ غَالِيَةُ البُضُوعِ [And among Kaab, and their brethren Kiláb, are females lofty in look, or] proud, and dear in respect of dowries. (TA.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) Divorce: (Az, K:) thus having two contr. significations. (K.) b5: And (assumed tropical:) The authority possessed over a woman by her guardian who affiances her. (TA.) b6: And (assumed tropical:) An equal; particularly as a suitor in a case of marriage: as in the saying, in a trad., هٰذَا البُضْعُ لَا يُقْرَعُ أَنْفُهُ (assumed tropical:) This equal‘s marriage shall not be refused, nor shall it be desired, or wished for; he shall not be rejected. (TA.) بِضْعٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ بَضْعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) some of the Arabs pronouncing it with kesr, (S, Msb,) [A number under ten; and an odd number, meaning] a number between two round, or decimal, numbers; (Az, K;) from one to ten [exclusive of the latter]; and from eleven to twenty [exclusive of the latter]; so accord. to Mebremán; (K;) i. e. Mohammad Ibn-'Alee Ibn-Ismá'eel the Lexicologist, Mebremán being his surname: (TA:) or from three to nine; (S, Msb, K [in the first and last the ns. being in the fem. gender; but in the second, masc.];) so accord. to Katádeh; (Mgh;) from three to less than ten: (Fr [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or not less than three nor more than ten; (Sh [the first n. of number in the fem. gender, and the second masc.];) from three to ten: (Mgh [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or to seven: (Mujáhid, Mgh:) or to five: (AO, K [the n. of number in the fem. gender]:) or from one to four: (AO, O, K [the ns. of number in the masc. gender]:) or to five; an explanation ascribed to AO: (TA:) or from four to nine; (ISd, K [the ns. of number fem.];) and this is the signification preferred by Th: (TA:) or it signifies five: (Mukátil [this n. of number masc.]:) or seven; (Mukátil, K [in the K this n. of number being fem.];) so accord. to some: (AO:) or ten: (Ed-Dahhák [this n. of number masc.]:) or an undefined number; غَيْرُ مَحْدُودٍ; so says Sgh; [and the like is said in the Msb;] in the K, erroneously, غَيْرُ مَعْدُودٍ; (TA;) because it means a portion, (Sgh, K,) which is undefined: (Sgh, TA:) it also signifies, with ten, [in like manner; i. e. ten and a number under ten; or the like: as] from thirteen to nineteen. (Msb.) When used as signifying from three to nine, (Mgh, Msb,) or to ten, or to seven, (Mgh,) [or to signify some number under ten, without another n. of number,] it is masc. and fem. without variation: (Mgh, Msb:) you say بِضْعُ رِجَالٍ

From three to nine [&c.] men: and بِضْعُ نِسْوَةٍ

from three to nine [&c.] women: (Msb:) and بِضْعُ سِنِينَ from three to nine [&c.] years: (S:) and فِى بِضْعِ سِنِينَ [in from three to nine, &c., years]: (Kur xxx. 3:) and فَلَبِثَ فِى السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ [And he remained in the prison from three to nine, &c., years]. (Kur xii. 42.) But when used to denote a number above ten, (Mgh, Msb,) with a masc. n. it is with ة, (↓ بِضْعَة,) and with a fem. n. it is without ة: (ISk, Mgh, Msb, K:) you say بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا From thirteen to nineteen [&c.] men: and بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً from thirteen to nineteen [&c.] women: (S, Mgh, * TA:) like as you say ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا and ثَلَاثَ عَشْرةَ امْرَأَةً. (Mgh.) When you have passed the word denoting ten, (S, K,) [i. e.] to denote a number above twenty, (Msb,) it is not used: (S, Msb, K:) you do not say بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ, (S, K,) but نَيِّفٌ وَعِشْرُونَ; and so in the cases of the remaining numbers: (S:) or you do say بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ: (Sgh, K:) accord. to Az, (Msb,) you say بِضْعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا (Mgh, Msb, K) meaning Twenty and odd men: (Az, TA:) and بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ امْرَأَةً (Mgh, Msb, K) meaning twenty and odd women: (Az, TA:) but not the reverse: (K:) ISd says, we have not heard this, but there is no objection to it: (TA:) and Fr says, بِضْعٌ is not mentioned save with ten and twenty to ninety; (IB, K;) not with what exceeds this: (IB:) you do not say بِضْعٌ وَمِائَةٌ nor بِضْعٌ وَأَلْفٌ, (IB, K,) but مِائَةٌ وَنَيِّفٌ [and أَلْفٌ وَنَيِّفٌ]: (IB:) it occurs in trads. with عِشْرُونَ and with ثَلَاثُونَ. (TA.) b2: بِضْعٌ and ↓ بَضْعٌ also signify A part, or portion, of the night: (K:) a time thereof. (Lh.) You say, مَضَى بِضْعٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ [A part, or portion, of the night passed]. (TA.) J mentions it with ص [in the place of ض]; and explains it by جَوْشٌ, q. v. (TA.) بَضْعَةٌ, (S, Msb, K,) with fet-h, other words of like meaning being with kesr, as قِطْعَةٌ and فِلْذَةٌ and فِدْرَةٌ, (S,) and sometimes with kesr, [↓ بِضْعَةٌ,] (K,) and ↓ بُضْعَةٌ also is mentioned, (TA,) of which the first is the most chaste, though EshShiháb asserts the second to be more common, (TA,) A piece, or lump, or portion cut off; (TA;) particularly of flesh, or flesh-meat, (S, Msb, K,) in a compact, or collective, state: (TA:) pl. ↓ بَضْعٌ, [or rather this is a coll. gen. n., of which بَضْعَةٌ is the n. un.,] and بِضَعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) as some say, (S,) but this is disallowed by 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh, (TA,) [or it may be a correct pl. of بِضْعَةٌ agreeably with analogy,] and بِضَاعٌ, and بَضَعَاتٌ, (Msb, K,) and [quasi-pl. n.] بَضِيعٌ, which is extr., like رَهِينٌ and كَلِيبٌ and مَعِيزٌ [&c.]. (TA.) Hence the saying [of Mohammad] in a trad., فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنَّى يَرِيبُنِى مَا رَابَهَا وَيُؤْذِينِى مَا

آذَاهَا (tropical:) Fátimeh is a part of me: [that displeases and disquiets me which has displeased and disquieted her, and that hurts me which has hurt her:] or, accord. to one relation, he said بُضَيْعَةٌ [a little part]. (TA.) One says also, إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَشَدِيدُ البَضْعَةِ حَسَنُهَا meaning Verily such a one is corpulent and fat. (TA.) b2: See also بَضَعَةٌ.

بُضْعَةٌ: see بَضْعَةٌ.

بِضْعَةٌ: see بَضْعَةٌ: and, as a noun of number, see بِضْعٌ, latter half of the paragraph.

بَضَعَةٌ The sound of cutting of swords: occurring in the saying, سَمِعْتُ لِلسِّيَاطِ خَضَعَةً وَلِلسُّيُوفِ بَضَعَةً

I heard a sound of falling of the whips, and a sound of cutting of the swords: (TA:) but in the S and A in art. خضع, and by IB, خضعة and بضعة are written خَضْعَةٌ and ↓ بَضْعَةٌ; and IB explains the former as signifying the sounds of swords; and the latter, the sounds of whips. (TA in art. خضع.) [See also بَاضِعٌ.]

بِضَاعٌ [The giving and receiving merchandise;] a subst. from أَبْضَعَهُ البِضَاعَةَ and اِبْتَضَعَ مِنْهُ; [or rather an inf. n. of which the verb, بَاضَعَ, is not used;] similar to قِرَاضٌ. (TA.) بَضِيعٌ Flesh. (As, S.) You say, دَابَّةٌ كَثِيرَةُ البَضِيعِ (As, S, TA) A beast abounding in what is distinct from the rest of the flesh of the thigh: n. un. with ة. (TA.) And رَجُلٌ خَاظِى البَضِيعِ (As, S) A fat man. (TA.) And سَاعِدٌ خَاظى البَضِيعِ [A fore arm, or an upper arm,] full of flesh. (IB.) [See also بَضْعَةٌ, of which it is a quasipl. n.]

بِضَاعَةٌ Merchandise; or an article of merchandise; (TA;) a portion of one's property which one sends for traffic; (S;) a portion of property prepared for traffic, (Mgh, * Msb,) or with which one traffics; from بَضْعٌ signifying the act of “cutting,” or “cutting off;” and vulgarly pronounced بُضَاعَةٌ: (TA:) pl. بَضَائِعُ. (Msb, TA.) بَاضِعٌ A sword that cuts off a piece of a thing that it strikes: (S, TA:) or a sharp, or cutting, sword: (K:) or a sword that cuts everything: (TA:) pl. بَضَعَةٌ: (K:) Fr says that بَضَعَةٌ signifies swords; and خَضَعَةٌ, whips: but some say the reverse. (TA.) [See also بَضَعَةٌ above.] b2: [See also the next paragraph.]

A2: [A broker who acts as an intermediary between the sellers and buyers of camels;] the same with respect to camels as the دَلَّال with respect to houses: (O, L, K:) or one who carries the articles of merchandise of the tribe, and conveys those articles from place to place for sale: (Ibn-'Abbád, Sgh, K:) it is said in the A that بَاضِعُ الحَىِّ signifies the person who carries the articles of merchandise of the tribe. (TA.) بَاضِعَةٌ A wound by which the head is broken, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) which cuts the skin, and cleaves the flesh (S, K) in a slight degree, (K,) and brings blood, but does not make it to flow: (S, K:) or which wounds the skin, and cleaves the flesh: (Mgh:) or which cleaves the flesh, but does not reach to the bone, nor cause the blood to flow: (Msb:) that from which the blood flows is termed دَامِيَةٌ [app. a mistake for دَامِعَةٌ]. (S, Msb.) A2: A large flock (فِرْقٌ [in the CK, erroneously, فِرَق,]) of sheep or goats: (S, Sgh, K:) or a portion separated from the rest of the sheep or goats: (Lth, K:) pl. بَوَاضِعُ: you say, فِرَقٌ بَوَاضِعُ. (Lth.) أَبْضَعُ as a corroborative after أَجْمَعُ: see أَبْصَعُ, with the unpointed ص. Az says that it is an evident mistranscription. (TA.) مِبْضَعٌ A lancet; an instrument with which a vein is cut: (S, Mgh, * K, TA:) and [a currier's knife] with which leather is cut: (S, TA:) [pl. مَبَاضِعُ: accord. to the Mirkát el-Loghah, as cited by Golius, it signifies a farrier's fleam; differing from مِشْرَطٌ, which signifies a surgeon's lancet: but this distinction is probably post-classical; for accord. to the TA, these two words signify the same.]

مَبْضُوعَةٌ [used as a subst.] A bow: a bow cut from a branch. (TA.) مُسْتَبْضِعٌ. It is said in a prov., كَمُسْتَبْضِعِ تَمْرٍ

إِلَى هَجَرٍ [Like the taker of dates as merchandise to Hejer]; because Hejer is [famous as] the place of production (مَعْدِن) of dates. (S.) مستبضع is here made trans. by means of الى because it has the meaning of حَامِل. (TA.)

A3: [بَجَلَهُ He bled him (namely, a horse, or a camel,) by opening the vein called الأَبْجَل: so accord. to analogy; like وَدَجَهُ, meaning “he bled him by opening the vein called الوَدَج,” &c.] لَمْ يُبْجَلْ means He had not been bled in the أَبْجَل. (TA.) 2 بجّلهُ, (Msb, K,) inf. n. تَبْجِيلٌ, He magnified, honoured, revered, venerated, or respected, him: (S, Msb, K:) or he said to him بَجَلٌ, meaning Sufficient for thee (جَسْبُكَ) is the place [or condition or rank] which thou hast attained. (K.) 4 ابجلهُ It sufficed, or contented, him. (S, K.) b2: It rejoiced him. (TA.) بُجْلٌ: see بَجَلٌ.

بَجَلْ is a noun (Mughnee) syn. with حَسْبُ: (S, Mughnee, K: *) and is also a verbal noun syn. with يَكْفِى. (Mughnee, K. *) You say بَجَلِى (S, Mughnee, K) and بَجْلِى, (S, K,) meaning حَسْبِى

[My sufficiency, or a thing sufficing me, i. e. sufficient for me, is such a thing]: (S, Mughnee, K:) [it is said in the Ham, p. 145, as on the authority of Akh, that they do not say بَجْلى; but this is a mistranscription for بَجَلْنِى, as will be seen from what follows:] and, using it as a verbal noun, (Mughnee, K,) but this is rare, (Mughnee,) you say بَجَلْنِى, meaning يَكْفِينِى [It suffices me, or will suffice me]; (Mughnee, K;) and بَجَلْكَ, meaning يَكْفِيكَ [It suffices thee, or will suffice thee]: (K:) or, accord. to Akh, they say بَجَلْكَ, like as they say, قَطْكَ; but not بَجَلْنِى, like قَطْنِى: (S:) or the ن in بَجَلْنِى is absolutely necessary accord. to him who says that بَجَلٌ is a verbal noun; and accord. to him who says that this word is syn. with حَسْبُ, the ن is allowable. (MF.) [See, under the words قَدْ and قَطْ, what is said respecting قَدْنِى and قَطْنِى.] In the saying of Jábir Ibn-Ra-lán Es-Simbisee, لَمَّا رَأَتْ مَعْشَرًا قَلَّتْ حَمُولَتُهُمْ قَالَتْ سُعَادُ أَهٰذَا مَالُكُمْ بَجَلَا [When she saw a company whose beasts of burden were few, So'ád said, Is this your property, sufficing you?] meaning, when she saw the fewness of our camels: the last word occupies the place of a denotative of state, and is made to end thus by poetic license: Abu-l-'Alà says that this word may be put in the accus. case as meaning not exceeding what I see; or it may be for بَجَلِى, after the manner of some of the Arabs who are related, by Akh and others, to have said غُلَامَا for غُلَامِى. (Ham pp. 299 and 300.) [See also 2: and see بَجَلٌ.]

A2: It is also a particle, (Mughnee,) meaning نَعَمْ [Yes; yea; or even so]. (Mughnee, K.) بَجَلٌ Calumny, slander, or false accusation: or this is with damm; (K;) i. e. ↓ بُجْلٌ; (T, TA;) meaning a great calumny &c.; (K, * TA;) and Az thinks that this may be a dial. var. of بُجْرٌ, with which it is syn.; because ل and ر are interchanged in many instances. (TA.) b2: A wonderful thing; syn. عَجَبٌ. (K.) b3: ذُو البَحَلِ denotes dispraise; meaning Content with mean things; not desirous of the means of acquiring eminence: (K:) or content that another should manage affairs in his stead, and that he should be a burden upon others, saying, Sufficient for me (حَسْبِى [or بَجَلِى]) is that [state or condition] wherein I am: (O, TA:) from a saying of Luk-mán Ibn-'Ád; (O, K;) as is also ذُو البَجْلَةِ, which denotes praise. (O, TA.) بَجْلَةٌ A goodly, or beautiful, from or appearance, figure, person, mien, or external state or condition: (Sh, K:) a pleasing aspect; goodliness, or beauty; grounds of pretension to respect; and excellence; or sharpness, or quickness, of intellect. (TA.) You say, إِنَّهُ لَذُو بَجْلَةٍ [Verily he has a goodly, or beautiful, form &c.]. (Sh, TA.) [See the end of the next preceding paragraph.] b2: A small tree: pl. بَجَلَاتٌ. (K.) بَجَالٌ and ↓ بَجِيلٌ, applied to a man, i. q. ↓ مُبَجَّلٌ [Magnified, honoured, revered, venerated, or respected]: (Sh, K:) or bulky, or corpulent; (As, S;) applied to a man; (As, TA;) or to an old man: (S:) or the former signifies an old, or aged, lord or chief: (AA, S:) or a bulky, or corpulent, old man: or, as some say, one beyond the middle age, in whom one sees goodliness of form or appearance, and advancement in years: (Mgh:) or both signify an old man, who is a great lord or chief, endowed with goodliness, and with excel-lence, or sharpness of intellect: (K:) not applied to a woman; (TA;) i. e., a woman is not termed بَجَالَةٌ. (Mgh.) بَجِيلٌ: see بَجَالٌ. b2: Also Gross, big, thick, coarse, or rough; applied to anything. (K.) b3: أَمْرٌ بَجِيلٌ An affair, an event, or a case, deemed strange, or evil, and great, or formidable. (TA.) خَيْرٌ بَجِيلٌ Ample, abundant, good or wealth or prosperity. (TA.) بَاجِلٌ Being in a good state or condition; having abundance of herbage, or of the goods or conveniences or comforts of life; (K;) applied to a man and to a camel: (TA:) or, as Yaakoob says, on the authority of Abu-l-Ghamr El-'Okeylee, having much fat; applied to a man and a she-camel and a he-camel. (S.) b2: Also Joyful, glad, or happy. (K.) أَبْجَلُ A certain vein, (S,) a thick vein, (K, Ham p. 417,) of the horse and of the camel, (S, TA,) in the thigh and the shank, (Ham ubi suprà,) or in the kind leg or the fore leg, (TA,) corresponding to the أَكْمَل (S, K) of man: (S:) pl. أَبَاجِلُ. (Ham ubi suprà, TA.) You say, فَصَدَ

أَبْجَلَهُ [He opened his ابجل]; i. e., the horse's or the camel's. (TA.) And one says of a swift horse, هُوَ وَاهِى الأَبَاجِلِ [He is lax in the اباجل]. (Ham ubi suprà.) مُبّجَّلٌ: see بَجَالٌ.

بدل

1 بَدَلَ, inf. n. بَدَالٌ: see 2, in three places.2 تَبْدِيلٌ properly signifies [The changing, or altering, a thing; or] the changing, or altering, the form, or fashion, or semblance, or the quality, or condition, [of a thing,] to another form, &c., while the substance remains the same; (Th, T, TA;) or the changing a thing from its state, or condition; (Ibn-'Arafeh, TA;) or the changing a thing without substitution: (S:) but the Arabs have used it also in the sense of ↓ إِبْدَالٌ, (Mbr, T, TA,) which signifies [the changing a thing by substitution; exchanging it; replacing it with another thing; or] the removing, or displacing, the substance [of a thing], and introducing anew another substance. (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.
