1 عَنِقَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. عَنَقٌ, He (a man, TK) was, or became, long in the neck. (TA, TK. [The verb in this sense is said in the TA to be like فَرِحَ: but in two instances in the same it is written عَنُقَ, with the same inf. n., and expl. as meaning He was, or became, long and thick in the neck.]) b2: [Golius has assigned to عَنَقَ (an unknown verb) two significations belonging to تعنّق.]2 عنّق عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. تَعْنِيقٌ, He went along and looked down upon it or came in sight of it; expl. by مَشَى وَأَشْرَفَ.

(TA.) A2: عنّقهُ He took him by his neck, and squeezed his throat, or fauces. (O, * L, K. *) It is related in a trad., that the Prophet said to Umm-Selemeh, when a sheep, or goat, of a neighbour of her's had come in and taken a cake of bread from beneath a jar belonging to her, and she had taken it from between its jaws, مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِى لَكِ أَنْ تُعَنِّقِيهَا i. e. [It did not behoove thee] that thou shouldst take hold of its neck and squeeze it: or the meaning is, that thou shouldst disappoint it; (O, K;) from عنّقهُ signifying he disappointed him; (K;) which is from العَنَاقُ: (O:) or, as some relate it, he said ان تُعَنِّكِيهَا, (O, K,) i. e., that thou shouldst distress it, and treat it roughly: (O:) and تُعَنِّفِيَهَا, with ف, would be approvable if agreeing with a relation. (O, K. *) And it is also related in a trad., that he said to the women of 'Othmán Ibn-Madh'oon, when he died, الشَّيْطَانِ ↓ اِبْكِينَ وَإِيَّاكُنَّ وَتَعَنُّقَ, if correct, [meaning Weep ye, but beware ye of the Devil's seizing by the neck, and squeezing the throat,] from عنّقهُ as first expl. above: but it is by some related otherwise, i. e. وَنَعِيقَ الشيطان.

(TA.) A2: See also the next paragraph.4 اعنق الكَلْبَ He put the collar upon the neck of the dog. (S, O, K.)

(Msb.) and He hastened; as also ↓ عانق. (TA.) اعنقوا إِلَيْهِ, meaning They hastened to him, or it, is from العَنَقُ signifying the pace thus termed. (Mgh.) In the phrase أَعْنَقَ لِيَمُوتَ, (Mgh,) occurring in a trad., (O,) the ل is used causatively: [i. e., the phrase signifies He hastened that he might die:] (Mgh:) [or] the meaning is, that the decree of death made him to hasten, and drove him on, to his place of slaughter.

(O, K.) 6 تَعَاْنَقَ see 3, in five places.8 إِعْتَنَقَ see 3, in four places. b2: [Hence, اِعتِنَاقُ السَّلَاسِلِ, a phrase well known as meaning The putting of chains upon one's (own) neck; occurring in the K voce رَهْبَانِيَّة. b3: And] اعتنقت الأَمْرَ I took to the affair with earnestness.

A2: اعتنقت الرِّيحُ بِالتُّرَابِ [app. meaning, like اعنقت, (see 4, last signification,) (assumed tropical:) The wind raised the dust, or carried it away, and dispersed it,] is from العَنَقُ, i. e. “ the pace with wide steps ” thus termed.

(Msb. [See, again, عَمَلٌ, below.]) Accord. to Az, عَمِلَ is the only trans. verb of its measure having the inf. n. of the measure فَعَلٌ, except هَبِلَت, said of a mother, inf. n. هَبَلٌ; other similar verbs having the inf. n. of the measure فَعْلٌ; as سَرِطْتُ اللُّقْمَةَ, inf. n. سَرْطٌ; and بَلِعْتُهُ, inf. n. بَلْعٌ. (TA. [But see arts. سرط and بلع; with respect to the former of which I must here state that, since it was printed, I have found an authority for سَرْطٌ as inf. n. of سَرِطَ in a copy of the S; though in the K it is said to be مُحَرَّكَة, and accord. to the Msb it is like تَعَبٌ.]) You say, عَمِلْتُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ I officiated in the collecting of the poor-rate. (Msb.) [And عَمِلَ بِمَا فِى كِتَابِ اللّٰهِ He did according to what is enjoined in the Book of God.] and عَمِلَ فِى هَلَاكِهِ [He laboured to destroy him, or to kill him]. (K in art. شيط.) [And عَمِلَ فِيهِ It acted upon him, or it: and, said of a sword &c., it had effect, or made an impression, upon him, or it.] b2: [Hence,] عَمِلَ فِيهِ signifies [also (assumed tropical:) It governed it syntactically; or caused it to be مَرْفُوع or مَنْصُوب or مَجْرُور &c.; i. e.] it produced in it a certain species of syntactical desinence.

البُرَاق, (O, * TA,) She went quickly, or swiftly; (O, K, TA;) because she that does thus puts her ears in motion by reason of the vehemence of the pace. (TA.) And عَمِلَت [alone] said of a she-camel, signifies [the same: or] She was, or became, brisk, light, active, or quick. (K.) b4: and [hence, app.,] لَمْ أَرَ النَّفَقَةَ تَعْمَلُ كَمَا تَعْمَلُ بِمَكَّةَ, a saying mentioned by Lh, is expl. by ISd as meaning تَنْفَقُ [i. e.

And one says, مَنَ الَّذِى عُمِّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ Who is he that has been set up as governor over you? (TA.) And فُلَانٌ ↓ اُسْتُعْمِلَ [Such a one was employed as governor over a people: (see a saying of 'Omar in art. ضعف, conj. 2:) or] such a one was appointed to one of the sovereign's offices of government. (TA.) b2: And عمّلهُ, (Mgh, O, K,) inf. n. as above, (K,) He gave him his عُمَالَة, or pay, or salary, for work, service, or agency; (Mgh, O, K;) as also ↓ اعملهُ. (TA.) 3 عاملهُ [He worked, laboured, served, acted, or transacted business, with him. Hence,] He dealt with him in buying and selling, (Msb, KL,) and the like: so in the language of the people of the cities. (Msb.) See also 6. [And hence the saying, عاملهُ مُعَامَلَةَ اللَّيْثِ (mentioned in the S in art. ليث) He did, acted, or dealt, with him in the manner of the lion.] b2: And i. q. سَامَهُ بِعَمَلٍ

(TA.) b3: And أَعْمَلْتُ النَّاقَةَ [I hastened, and urged, the she-camel]: whence the saying, in a trad., لَا تُعْمَلُ المَطِىُّ إِلَّا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ, meaning [The camels that are used for riding] shall not be hastened nor urged [or plied, save to three mosques; that of Mekkeh, that of El-Medeeneh, and that of ElAksà at Jerusalem: see also a variation of this saying in the first paragraph of art. ضرب; and another voce عُرْوَةٌ]: and in a trad. of Lukmán, يُعْمِلُ النَّاقَةَ وَالسَّاقَ [He hastens, and urges, the she-camel and the shank], meaning he is strong to journey, riding and walking.

A3: أَعْمَلْتُ الرُّمْحَ means I thrust, or pierced, with the عَامِل [q. v.] of the spear. (Har p. 77.) [Or one says, أَعْمَلْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ, meaning I thrust him, or pierced him, with the عَامِل of the spear. (See De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., sec. ed., iii. 191.)]5 تعمّل He suffered fatigue, or difficulty; and strove, laboured, or toiled; syn. تَعَنَّى, (O, K, TA,) and اِجْتَهَدَ; (TA;) لِكَذَا [for such a thing]; (S, O;) and مِنْ أَجْلِهِ [on his account, or for his sake]; (K;) and فِى حَاجَتِهِ [in the case of his object of want]. (TA.) 6 تَعَامُلٌ is syn. with ↓ مُعَامَلَةٌ [generally as meaning The dealing together in buying and selling, and the like]. (TA.) One says, تعامل النَّاسُ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ [Men, or the people, dealt together in buying and selling with the dirhems; i. e. used the dirhems in buying and selling]. (Msb in art. روج.) And يُتَعَامَلُ بِهِ [The business of buying and selling is transacted with it; i. e. it is used in buying and selling]; referring to the [coin called]

(Msb.) and it is said in a trad., respecting Kheyber, دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ

أَرْضَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِلُوهَا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ i. e. [He gave to them their land] on the condition of their [bestowing labour upon it, or] doing what they required to be done [upon it], of cultivation, and sowing, and fecundating of the palm-trees, and guarding, and the like, from their own property.

الجَالَّةِ [Such a one was employed as collecter of the poll-tax]. (S and Msb in art. جل. See also a similar ex. voce ضِحٌّ.) And اِسْتَعْمَلْتُ الثَّوْبَ I made the garment to serve [i. e. made use of it] for clothing. (Msb.) And اِسْتَعْمَلْتُ اللَّبِنَ [I made use of the bricks], meaning I built with the bricks a building. (Msb.)

See also a similar ex. voce تَحَلَّمَ.) عَمَلٌ [mentioned in the beginning of this art. as an inf. n.] is syn. with مَِهْنَةٌ and فِعْلٌ: (K:) [accordingly, when used as a simple subst., it may be rendered Work, labour, or service: and a deed, or an action:] or it has a more particular meaning than فِعْلٌ; for it is a فِعْل [or deed] with a sort of difficulty; and therefore it is not attributed to God: or, accord. to Er-Rághib, it is any فِعْل [i. e. deed or action] that proceeds from an animate being by his intention; and thus it has a more particular meaning than فِعْلٌ; for the فعل is sometimes attributed to animate beings from which it proceeds without intention; and sometimes to inanimate things, to which the عَمَل is seldom attributed; and this is not used in relation to [irrational] animals except [as implied] in the phrases إِبِلٌ عَوَامِلُ and بَقَرٌ عَوَامِلُ: or, accord. to MF, the عَمَل is a motion of the whole, or of a portion, of the body; and sometimes, of the mind; so that it is the utterance of a saying, as well as the doing a deed with the member, or limb, with which things are gained or earned; though most readily understood as applied particularly to the latter; and some apply it particularly to that which is not a saying: it is also said that a saying is not termed عَمَلٌ in the common conventional language: and the truth is said to be, that it is not included in the terms عَمَلٌ and فِعْلٌ otherwise than tropically: (TA:) [see also عَمِلَةٌ:] the pl. of عَمَلٌ [used as a simple subst.] is أَعْمَالٌ. (K.) In the following saying, of a woman dandling her child, (S,) or of Keys Ibn-Ásim, (O, TA,) dandling his child Hakeem, (TA,) أَشْبِهْ أَبَا أُمِّكَ أَوْ أَشْبِهْ عَمَلْ the last word is a proper name of a man: (S, O, TA:) or, accord. to Aboo-Zekereeyà, [the meaning is, Share thou in the qualities of the father of thy mother, or share thou in the qualities of my course of action; for he says that] by عَمَلْ is here meant عَمَلِى. (TA.) اِبْنُ عَمَلِى means He who does my work, or the like of what I do. (TA in art. بنى.) And [hence,] فُلَانٌ ابْنُ عَمَلٍ Such a one is strong. (TA.) And بَنُو عَمَلٍ Those who journey on foot. (O, K, * TA.) [And عَمَلُ النَّخْلِ, occurring in the T, voce ضَيْعَةٌ, means The culture of palm-trees: like as عَمَلُ الأرْضِ means agriculture]. b2: And عَمَلٌ signifies also The striving, labouring, or toiling, in work; or the holding on, or continuing, in work: so in the saying of El-Kutámee فَقَدْ يَهُونُ عَلَى المُسْتَنْجِحِ العَمَلُ [For verily the striving, &c., in work is a light matter to him who seeks success]. (TA.) b3: [Also An office of administration; and particularly the office of governor of a province; and the office of collector of the poor-rates, and the like: and an agency of any kind; the management of the affairs and property of another; an employment. b4: Also A province; or territory under a governor appointed by a sovereign. Pl. in this and other senses as above.]

(TA.) b2: And, applied to lightning, Continuing, or continual. (K.) b3: And عَمِلَةٌ, applied to a she-camel, Brisk, light, active, or quick; (K, TA;) like ↓ يَعْمَلَةٌ; (TA;) and so ↓ عَمَّالَةٌ. (A, TA.) عَمْلَةٌ Theft: or treachery, perfidy, or unfaithfulness: (O, K:) it is not used otherwise than in relation to evil. (O.) عُمْلَةٌ: see عُمَالَةٌ.

A2: Also The internal state, or condition, of a man, in relation to evil. (K.) عَمِلَةٌ, with kesr to the م, is syn. with عَمَلٌ [as signifying A deed, or an action]: (O, K:) so in the saying of a woman of the Arabs, مَا كَانَ لِى

عَمِلَةٌ إِلَّا فَسَادُكُمْ [There was no deed, or action, for me, except the corrupting of you]. (O.) b2: And A thing that is done, or performed; or that is made; (مَا عُمِلَ;) as also ↓ عِمْلةٌ. (K.) عِمْلَى: see عُمَالَةٌ.

عَمَلِىٌّ Practical; opposed to عِلْمِىٌّ: and fabrile; factitious; or artificial.]

عَمِلَ بِهِ العِمِلِّينَ, with two kesrehs and with the ل musheddedeh, (K, TA, but in the CK العِمِلَّيْنِ,) or العِمْلِينَ, or العُمَلِينَ, (K, TA,) or, accord. to ISd as on the authority of Th, العِمَلين and العِمْلين, [app. العِمَلِينَ and العِمْلِينَ,] (TA,) or العِملَيْنِ, [thus written without any vowel-sign to the م, and in the dual form,] (O as on the authority of Aboo-Zeyd,) and IAar adds العِمْلَيْنِ, with the م quiescent, (O,) [compare البُلَغِينَ and البُِرَحِينْ, which suggest that the correct forms may be العُمَلِينَ and العِمَلِينَ,] He exceeded the ordinary bounds, (K,) or went to the utmost point, (O, K,) in annoying him, (K,) or in reviling him and annoying him.

(M, TA.) يَوْمُ اليَعْمَلَةِ was one of the days [meaning days of conflict] of the Arabs. (O, K.)

بيض

(tropical:) The نعام, meaning the نَعَائِم, [or Twentieth Mansion of the Moon,] sent down rain upon it, and so put to flight its occupants, except him who remained incurring the risk of dying from disease, wasting away: [the last word being in the gen. case, by poetic license, because the next before it is in that case; like خَرِبٍ in the phrase هٰذَا جُحْرُ ضَبٍّ خَرِبٍ:] the poet is describing a valley rained upon and in consequence producing herbage; for the rain of the asterism called النعائم is in the hot season, [when that asterism sets aurorally, (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل,)] whereupon there grows, at the roots of the حَلِىّ, a plant called نَشْر, which is poisonous, killing beasts that eat of it: the verse is explained as above by El-Mohellebee: (IB:) or, as IAar says, the poet means rain that falls at the نَوْء [by which we are here to understand the setting aurorally] of النعائم; and that when this rain falls, the wise flees and the stupid remains.

He tinned a copper vessel or the like.] You say, بَيَّضَ اللّٰهُ وَجْهَهُ [lit., God whitened his face: or may God whiten his face: meaning (tropical:) God rendered his face expressive of joy, or cheerfulness; or rejoiced, or cheered, him: or may God &c.: and also God cleared his character; or manifested his honesty, or the like: or may God &c.: see the contr. سَوَّدَ]. (TA.) And بيّض لَهُ [He left a blank space for it; namely, a word or sentence or the like: probably post-classical]. (TA in art. شمس; &c.) b2: [He wrote out fairly, after having made a first rough draught: in this sense, also, opposed to سَوَّدَ: probably post-classical.] b3: (tropical:) He filled a vessel: (M, A, K: *) or he filled a vessel, and a skin, with water and milk. (S, O.) b4: And (tropical:) He emptied (A, K) a vessel: (A:) thus it bears two contr. significations. (K.) 3 بايضهُ, (S, M,) inf. n. مُبَايَضَةٌ, (TA,) He contended with him for superiority in whiteness. (S, M.) b2: بَايَضَنِى فُلَانٌ (tropical:) Such a one acted openly with me; syn. جَاهَرَنِى: from النَّهَارِ ↓ بَيَاضُ [the whiteness of day, or daylight]. (A, TA.) 4 أَبْيَضَتْ and أَبَاضَتْ She (a woman) brought forth white children: and in like manner one says of a man [أَبْيَضَ and أَبَاضَ, meaning He begat white children].

(TA.) 9 ابيضّ, (S, M, Msb, K,) and, by poetic license, اِبْيَضَضَّ, [of which see an ex. voce خَفَضَ, and see also 9 in art. حو,] (M, TA,) inf. n. اِبْيِضَاضٌ, (S, Msb,) It was, or became, white; (S, M, Msb;) contr. of اِسْوَدَّ; (K;) as also ↓ ابياضّ, inf. n. اِبْيِيضَاضٌ;. (S;) contr. of اِسْوَادَّ; (K;) and ↓ أَبَاضَ: which ↓ last also signifies it (herbage or pasture) became white, and dried up. (M, TA.) [You say also, ابيضّ وَجْهُهُ, lit., His face became white: meaning (tropical:) his face became expressive of joy, or cheerfulness; or he became joyful, or cheerful: and also his character became cleared; or his honesty, or the like, became manifested: see 2.]11 إِبْيَاْضَّ see 9.

بَيْضٌ: see بَيْضَةٌ, in three places.

بَيْضَةٌ An egg (Msb) of an ostrich, (Mgh,) and of any bird, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and the like, i. e. of anything that is termed صَمُوخٌ [or having merely an ear-hole] as distinguished from such as is termed أَذُونٌ [or having an ear that is called أُذُنٌ]: so called because of its whiteness: (TA:) n. un. of ↓ بَيْضٌ: (S, M, * Msb, K:) pl. [of the former] بَيْضَاتٌ (M, Sgh, K) and بَيَضَاتٌ, which latter is irreg., (M, Sgh,) and only used by poetic license; (Sgh;) and (of بَيْضٌ, M) بُيُوضٌ. (M, K.) You say, أَفْرَخَتِ البَيْضَةُ The egg had in it a young bird. (ISh.) And أَفْرَخَ بَيْضَةُ القَوْمِ (assumed tropical:) What was hidden, of the affair, or case, of the people, or company of men, became apparent. (ISh.) [See also art. فرخ.] بَيْضَةُ البَلَدِ signifies The egg which the ostrich abandons. (S, M, K.) And hence the saying, هُوَ أَذَلُّ مِنْ بَيْضَةِ البَلَدِ (tropical:) He is more abject, or vile, than the egg of the ostrich which it abandons (S, A, * K) in the desert. (TA.) You say also, هُوَ بَيْضَةُ البَلَدِ in dispraise and in praise. (IAar, Aboo-Bekr, M.) When said in dispraise, it means (tropical:) He is like the egg of the ostrich from which the young bird has come forth, and which the male ostrich has cast away, so that men and camels tread upon it: (IAar, M:) or he is alone, without any to aid him; like the egg from which the male ostrich has arisen, and which he has abandoned as useless: (TA:) or he is an obscure man, or one of no reputation, whose lineage is unknown. (Ham p. 250.) And when said in praise, it means (tropical:) He is like the ostrich's egg in which is the young bird; because the male ostrich in that case protects it: (IAar, M:) or he is unequalled in nobility; like the egg that is left alone: (M:) or he is a lord, or chief: (IAar, M:) or he is the unequalled of the بَلَد [or country or the like], to whom others resort, and whose words they accept: (K:) or he is a celebrated, or wellknown, person. (Ham p. 250.) [See also art. بلد. And for another meaning of بَيْضَةُ البَلَدِ see below.] b2: (tropical:) A helmet of iron, (AO, S, * M, * Mgh, * K, *) which is composed of plates like the bones of the skull, the edges whereof are joined together by nails; and sometimes of one piece: (AO:) so called because resembling in shape the egg of an ostrich: (AO, M, Mgh: *) in this sense, also, n. un. of ↓ بَيْضٌ. (S, K: [in the CK, for والحَدِيدُ we should read والحَدِيدِ.]) This may be meant in a trad. in which it is said that a man's hand is to be cut off for his stealing a بَيْضَة. (Mgh.) b3: (assumed tropical:) A testicle: (S, K:) pl. بِيضَانٌ. (TA.) b4: (tropical:) The bulb of the saffron-plant [&c.]: as resembling an egg in shape. (Mgh.) b5: (assumed tropical:) [A tuber: for the same reason.] b6: (assumed tropical:) A kind of grape of Et-Táïf, white and large. (M.) b7: (tropical:) The core of a boil: as resembling an egg. (M.) b8: (tropical:) The fat of a camel's hump: for the same reason. (M.) b9: بَيْضَةُ البَلَدِ, in addition to its meanings mentioned above, also signifies (assumed tropical:) The white truffle: (O, K:) or simply truffles; syn. الكَمْأَةُ; (TA;) or these are called الأَرْضِ ↓ بَيْضُ. (A.) b10: بَيْضَةٌ also signifies (tropical:) The continent, or container, or receptacle, (حَوْزَة,) of anything. (S, K, TA.) and [hence] بَيْضَةُ الإِسْلَامِ (tropical:) The place [or territory] which comprises El-Islám [meaning the Muslims]; like as the egg comprises the young bird: (Mgh:) or this signifies the congregation, or collective body, of the Muslims. (Az, M.) And بَيْضَةُ القَوْمِ (tropical:) The quarter, tract, region, or district, of the people, or company of men: (S, K:) the heart; or midst, or main part, of the abode thereof: (S, TA:) the principal place of abode (أَصْل) thereof; (M, TA;) the place that comprises them; the place of their government, or regal dominion; and the seat of their دعوة [i. e. دِعْوَة or kindred and brotherhood]: (TA:) the midst of them: (M:) or, as some say, their [kinsfolk such as are termed]

عَشِيرَة: (TA:) but when you say, أَتَاهُمُ العَدُوُّ فِى

بَيْضَتِهِمْ, the meaning is [the enemy came to them in] their principal place of abode (أَصْل), and the place where they were congregated. (TA.) and بَيْضَةُ الدَّارِ (tropical:) The midst of the country or place of abode or the like: (Az, M, TA:) the main part thereof. (TA.) And بَيْضَةُ المُلْكِ i. q. حَوْزَتُهُ (assumed tropical:) [The seat of regal power: or the heart, or principal part, of the kingdom]. (S and K in art. حوز.) b11: بَيْضَةُ الخِدْرِ (M, A, K) (tropical:) The damsel (M, K) of the خدر [or curtain &c.]: (K: [in the CK, جَارِيَتُهَا is erroneously put for جَارِيَتُهُ:]) because she is kept concealed within it. (TA.) You say also, هِىَ مِنْ بَيْضَاتِ الحِجَالِ (tropical:) [She is of the damsels of the curtained bridal canopies]. (A, TA.) بَيْضَةٌ is used by a metonymy to signify (tropical:) A woman, by way of likening her thereto [i. e. to an egg] in colour, and in respect of her being protected as beneath the wing. (B.) [See Kur xxxvii. 47.] b12: بَيْضَةٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) White land, in which is no herbage; opposed to سَوْدَةٌ: (TA:) and ↓ بِيضَةٌ, with kesr, white, smooth land; (K;) thus accord. to IAar, with kesr to the ب: (Sh:) and ↓ أَرْضٌ بَيْضَآءُ signifies smooth land, in which is no herbage; as though herbage blackened land: or untrodden land: as also بَيْضَةٌ. (M.) b13: بَيْضَةُ النَّهَارِ The whiteness of day; [daylight;] i. q. ↓ بَيَاضُهُ; (K;) i. e. its light. (Har p. 222.) Yousay, أَتَيْتُهُ فِى بَيْضَةِ النَّهَارِ I came to him in the whiteness of day. (TA.) b14: بَيْضَةُ الحِرِّ (assumed tropical:) The vehemence, or intenseness, of heat. (M.) And بَيْضَةُ القَيْظِ (tropical:) The most vehement, or intense, heat of summer, or of the hottest period of summer, from the [auroral] rising of الدَّبَرَان to that of سُهَيْل; [i. e., reckoning for the commencement of the era of the Flight, in central Arabia, from about the 26th of May to about the 4th of August, O. S.;] (A, * TA;) as also القَيْظِ ↓ بَيْضَآءُ. (A, TA.) And بَيْضَةُ الصَّيْفِ (assumed tropical:) The main part of the صيف [or summer]: (M, TA:) or the vehement, or intense, heat thereof. (Ham p. 250.) بَيضَةٌ: see بَيْضَةٌ, in the latter part of the paragraph.

بَيَاضٌ Whiteness; contr. of سَوَادٌ; in an animal, and in a plant, and in other things; and, accord. to IAar, in water also; (M;) the colour of that which is termed أَبْيَضُ: (S, Msb, * K:) they said بَيَاضٌ and ↓ بَيَاضَةٌ, (S, M, K,) like as they said مَنْزِلٌ and مَنْزِلَةٌ: (S:) بَيَاضَةٌ being applied to a whiteness in the eye. (M.) You say, هٰذَا أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنْ كَذَا [This is whiter than such a thing]: (S, K: *) but not ↓ أَبْيَضُ منْهُ: (S:) the latter is anomalous; (K;) [like أَسْوَدُ مِنْهُ; q. v.;] but it was said by the people of El-Koofeh, (S, K,) who adduced as authority the saying of the rájiz, جَارِيَةٌ فِى دِرْعِهَا الفَضْفَاضِ

أَبْيَضُ مِنْ أُخْتِ بَنِى إِبَاضِ [A damsel in her ample shift, whiter than the sister of the tribe of Benoo-Ibád]: Mbr, however, says that an anomalous verse is no evidence against a rule commonly approved: and as to the saying of another, إِذَا الرِّجَالُ شَتَوْا وَاشْتَدَّ أَكْلُهُمُ فَأَنْتَ أَبْيَضُهُمْ سِرْبَالَ طَبَّاخِ [When men experience dearth in winter, and their eating becomes vehement, thou art the whitest of them, or rather the white of them, in respect of cook's clothing, having little or nothing to do with entertaining them], the word in question may be considered as an epithet of the measure أَفْعَلُ that is followed by مِنْ to denote excess: but it is only like the instances in the sayings هُوَ أَحْسَنُهُمْ وَجْهًا and أَكْرَمُهُمْ أَبًا, meaning حَسَنُهُمْ وَجْهًا and كَرِيِمُهُمْ

أَبًا; so it is as though he said فَأَنْتَ مُبْيَضُّهُمْ سِرْبَالًا; and as he has prefixed it to a complement which it governs in the gen. case, what follows is in the accus. case as a specificative. (S.) This latter verse is by Tarafeh, who satirizes therein 'Amr Ibn-Hind; and is also differently related in respect of the first hemistich, and the first word of the second. (L, TA.) b2: بَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ: see 3; and see بَيْضَةٌ, near the end of the paragraph. b3: بَيَاضٌ is also used elliptically for ذُو بَيَاضٍ; and thus means (assumed tropical:) White clothing; as in the saying, فُلَانٌ يَلْبَسُ السَّوَادَ وَالبَيَاضَ Such a one wears black and white clothing. (Mgh.) [Hence, also, it has other significations, here following.] b4: (assumed tropical:) Milk. (K.) See an ex., voce سَوَادٌ. b5: [(assumed tropical:) The white of an egg.] b6: بَيَاضُ الأَرْضِ (assumed tropical:) That part of land wherein is no cultivation nor population and the like. (M.) b7: بَيَاضُ الجِلْدِ (assumed tropical:) That part of the skin upon which is no hair. (M.) b8: (tropical:) بَيَاضٌ also signifies (tropical:) A man's person; like سَوَادٌ; syn. شَخْصٌ; as in the saying, لَا يُزَايِلُ سَوَادِى بَيَاضَكَ (tropical:) My person will not separate itself from thy person. (As, A, TA.) بَيُوضٌ A hen that lays many eggs; (S, M, A, * K; *) as also ↓ بَيَّاضَةٌ: (M:) [but in the Msb it is evidently used as signifying simply oviparous:] pl. (of the former, S, M *) بُيُضٌ (S, M, A, K) and بِيضٌ, (S, M, K,) the latter in the dial. of those who say رُسْلٌ for رُسُلٌ, the ب being with kesr in order that the ى may remain unchanged; (S, M;) but sometimes they said بُوضٌ. (M.) بَيَاضَةٌ: see بَيَاضٌ.

بَائِضٌ A hen, (Az, K,) or bird, (S, Msb,) and the like, (Msb,) laying an egg or eggs: (Az, S, * Msb, K: *) without ة because the cock does not lay eggs: (Az, TA:) or it is applied also to a cock, (M, TA,) and to a crow, (M, A, TA,) [as meaning begetting an egg or eggs,] in like manner as one uses the word وَالِدٌ. (M, TA.) بَيَّاضٌ A bleacher of clothes; as a kind of rel. n.; not as a verbal epithet; for were it this, it would be مُبَيِّضٌ. (M.) b2: A seller of eggs. (M.) b3: بَيَّاضَةٌ: see بَيُوضٌ.

أَبْيَضُ White; contr. of أَسْوَدُ; (A, K;) having whiteness: (Msb:) fem. بَيْضَآءُ: (Msb:) pl. بِيضٌ, originally بُيْضٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the damm being converted into kesr in order that the ى may remain unchanged, (S, K,) [i. e.] to suit the ى. (Msb.) In the phrase أَعْطِنِى أَبْيَضَّهْ, mentioned by Sb, as used by some of the Arabs, meaning أَبْيَضَ, [i. e. Give thou to me a white one,] ه is subjoined as it is in هُنَّهْ for هُنَّ, and the ض is doubled because the letter of declinability cannot have ه subjoined to it; wherefore the letter of declinability is the first ض, and the second is the augmentative, and for this reason it has subjoined to it the ه whereof the purpose is to render plainly perceivable the vowel [which is necessarily added after the doubled ض]: Aboo-'Alee says, [app. of the ه,] that it should properly have neither fet-h nor any vowel. (M.) b2: Applied to a man &c., it was sometimes used to signify White in complexion: but in this sense they generally used the epithet أَحْمَرُ. (IAth, TA in art. حمر.) They also said, فُلَانٌ أَبْيَضُ الوَجْهِ and فُلَانَةُ بَيْضَآءُ الوَجْهِ, meaning Such a man, and such a woman, is clear, in face, from freckles or the like, and unseemly blackness. (Az, TA.) And they used بِيضَانٌ, (S, K,) a pl. of أَبْيَضُ, (TA,) in the contr. of the sense of سُودَانٌ, (S, K,) [i. e. as signifying Whites,] applied to men: (S:) though they applied the appellation أَبُو البَيْضَآءِ to the Abyssinian: (TA in art. عور:) or to the negro: and أَبُو الجَوْنِ to the white man. (ISk.) But accord. to Th, أَبْيَضُ applied to a man signifies only (tropical:) Pure; free from faults: (IAth, TA in art. حمر:) or, so applied, unsullied in honour, nobility, or estimation; (Az, K;) free from faults; and generous: and so بَيْضَآءُ applied to a woman. (Az.) [In the lexicons, however, (see, for ex., among countless other instances, an explanation of بَضَّةٌ in the S,) and in other post-classical works, it is generally used, when thus applied, in its proper sense, of White; or fair in complexion.] b3: كَتِيبَةٌ بَيْضَآءُ An army, or a portion thereof, upon which the whiteness of the [arms or armour of] iron is apparent. (M.) b4: And بَيْضَآءُ alone, [as a subst.,] A piece of paper [without writing]. (Har p. 311.) b5: الأَبْيَضُ The sword: (S, A, K:) because of its whiteness: (TA:) pl. بِيضٌ. (S.) b6: Silver: (A, K:) because of its whiteness: like as gold is called الأَحْمَرُ [because of its redness]. (TA.) b7: The saliva (رضاب) of the mouth. (Ham p. 348.) b8: A certain star in the margin of the milky way. (A, K.) b9: البَيْضَآءُ The sun: because of its whiteness. (M.) b10: Waste, or uncultivated, or uninhabited, land: (K, * TA: [in the CK الجِرابُ is erroneously put for الخَرَابُ:]) opposed to السَّوْدَآءُ: because dead lands are white; and when planted, become black and green. (TA.) See also بَيْضَةٌ, near the end. b11: Wheat: (K:) as also السَّمْرَآءُ. (TA.) b12: Fresh [grain of the kind called] سُلْت. (El-Khattábee, K.) b13: A certain kind of wood; that which is called الحَوَرُ: (K in art. حور:) because of its whiteness. (TA in that art.) [See حَوَرٌ.]

b14: The cooking-pot; as also أُمُّ بَيْضَآءَ. (AA, K.) b15: The snare with which one catches game. (IAar, K.) b16: الأَبْيَضَانِ Milk and water. (ISk, S, M, A, K.) A poet says, وَمَا لِىَ إِلَّا الأَبْيَضَيْنِ شَرَابُ [And I have not any beverage except milk and water]. (ISk, S, M.) b17: Bread and water: (As, M, K:) or wheat and water: (Fr, K:) or fat and milk. (AO, K.) b18: Fat and youthfulness (Az, IAar, M, A, K.) You say, ذَهَبَ أَبْيَضَاهُ His fat and youthfulness departed. (TA.) b19: مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ أَبْيَضَانِ I have not seen him for, or during, two days: (Ks, M, A, K:) or two months. (Ks, M, K.) b20: أَيَّامُ البِيضِ, (Msb, K,) or simply البِيضُ, (Mgh,) for أَيَّامُ اللَّيَالِى البِيضِ; [The days of the white nights;] i. e. the days of the thirteenth and fourteenth and fifteenth nights of the month; (Mgh, Msb, K;) so called because they are lighted by the moon throughout: (Msb:) or of the twelfth and thirteenth and fourteenth nights: (K:) but this is of weak authority, and extr.: the former is the correct explanation: (MF, TA:) you should not say الأَيَّامُ البِيضُ: (Ibn-El-Jawá- leekee, IB, K:) yet thus it is in most relations of a trad. in which it occurs; and some argue for it; and the author of the K has himself explained الأَوَاضِحُ by الأَيَّامُ البِيضُ. (TA.) b21: سَنَةٌ بَيْضَآءُ (assumed tropical:) A year [of scarcity of herbage,] such as is a mean between that which is termed شَهْبَآء and that which is termed حَمْرَآء. (TA in art. شهب.) b22: كَلَامٌ

أَبْيَضُ (tropical:) Language expounded or explained. (M.) b23: كَلَّمْتُهُ فَمَا رَدَّ عَلَىَّ سَوْدَآءَ وَلَا بَيْضَآءَ (tropical:) I spoke to him, and he did not return to me a bad word nor a good one. (M.) b24: يَدٌ بَيْضَآءُ (assumed tropical:) A demonstrating, or demonstrated, argument, plea, allegation, or evidence. (M.) b25: And (assumed tropical:) A favour, or benefit, for which one is not reproached; and which is conferred without its being asked. (M.) [See also يَدٌ.] b26: المَوْتُ الأَبْيَضُ (assumed tropical:) Sudden death; (K, TA;) such as is not preceded by disease which alters the complexion: or, as some say, death without the repentance, and the prayer for forgiveness, and the accomplishment of necessary duties, usual with him who is not taken unawares; from بَيَّضَ signifying “ he emptied ” a vessel: so says Sgh: opposed to المَوْتُ الأَحْمَرُ, which is slaughter. (TA.) b27: بَيْضَآءُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A calamity, or misfortune: (Sgh, K:) app. as a term of good omen; like سَلِيمٌ applied to one who is stung by a scorpion or bitten by a serpent. (TA.) b28: بَيْضَآءُ القَيْظِ: see بَيْضَةٌ, last sentence but one.

A2: هٰذَا أَبْيَضُ مِنْ كَذَا; &c.: see بَيَاضٌ.

مَبِيضٌ A place for laying eggs. (ISd, TA in art. فحص.) مُبِيضَةٌ A woman who brings forth white children: the contr. is termed مُسْوِدَةٌ: (Fr, K:) but مُوضِحَةٌ is more commonly used in the former sense. (O.) مُبْيَضَّةٌ The fair copy, or transcript, made from a first rough draught; which latter is called مُسْوَدَّةٌ: probably post-classical.]

مُبَيِّضٌ A man wearing white clothing. (TA.) b2: Hence, المُبَيِّضَةُ A sect of [the class called] the ثَنَوِيَّة, (S, K,) the companions of المُقَنَّع; (S;) so called because they made their clothes white, in contradistinction to the مُسَوِّدَة, the partisans of the dynasty of the 'Abbásees; (S, K, *) for the distinction of these was black: they dwelt in Kasr 'Omeyr. (TA.) [See also الحَرُورِيَّةُ.]

(K.) بَكْرٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ بُكْرٌ, (K,) but this latter is hardly to be found in any of the lexicons, (MF,) and ↓ بِكْرٌ, (ISd, TA,) A youthful he-camel; one in a state of youthful vigour: fem. with ة; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) and also بَكْرٌ, without ة: (TA:) the term بَكْرٌ, applied to a camel, corresponds to فَتًى, applied to a human being; and بَكْرَةٌ, to فَتَاةٌ; and قَلُوصٌ, to جَارِيَةٌ; and بَعِيرٌ, to إِنْسَانٌ; and جَمَلٌ, to رَجُلٌ; and نَاقَةٌ, to مَرْأَةٌ: (AO, S:) or the offspring, or young one, of a she-camel; (K;) thus indefinitely explained: (TA:) or a camel in his sixth year (ثَنِىٌّ) [and] until he becomes a جَذَع: [but it seems that the reverse must be meant; for a جذع, of camels, is one in his fifth year:] or a camel in his second year [and] until he enters his sixth year: or a camel in his second year, or that has entered his third year, or that has completed his second year and entered his third year; syn. اِبْنُ لَبُونٍ: (K:) and a camel that has just entered upon his fourth year: and a camel in his fifth year: (IAar, Az:) or a camel that has not entered his ninth year: (K:) and sometimes it is metaphorically applied to a human being; [meaning (tropical:) a young man;] and بَكْرَةٌ to (tropical:) a young woman: (TA:) the pl. (of pauc., S) is أَبْكُرٌ; (S, K;) and ↓ أُبَيْكِرُونَ occurs as pl. of the dim. of أَبْكُرٌ; (S, TA;) and (pl. of mult., S, TA) بِكَارٌ, (S, Msb,) like as فِرَاخٌ is pl. of فَرْخٌ; (S;) or this is pl. of بَكْرَةٌ; (Msb, K;) and there are other pls. of بَكْرٌ, namely, بُكْرَانٌ (K) and بِكَارَةٌ; (S, Msb, K;) and [quasi-pl. n.]

↓ بَكَارَةٌ. (K.) Hence the well-known prov., (TA,) صَدَقَنِى سِنَّ بَكْرِهِ, and سِنُّ بَكْرِهِ, meaning He hath told me what is in his mind, and what his ribs infold: a saying originating from the following fact: a man bargained with another for a youthful camel (بَكْر), and said, “What is his age (سِنُّهُ)? ” the other answered, “He is in his ninth year: ”

then the young camel took fright and ran away: whereupon his owner said to him, هِدَعْ هِدَعْ; and this is an expression by which are quieted young ones, (K,) of the camel; (TA;) so when the purchaser heard it, he said, صدقنى سنّ بكره [He hath told me truly the age, or as to the age, of his youthful camel: or the age of his youthful camel has spoken truly to me]: if سنّ is in the accus. case, the meaning [of the verb] is عَرَّفَنِى, (K,) and سنّ is in the accus. case as a second objective complement; (TA;) or خَبَرَ سِنِّ is meant; [in the CK, erroneously, خَبَرَ;] or فِى سِنِّ; the prefixed noun [خَبَرَ] or the proposition [فِى] being suppressed [and سنّ being therefore in the accus. case]: but if سنّ is in the nom. case, veracity is attributed to the [animal's] age, by an amplification: (K:) or, as some say, the buyer said to the owner of the camel, “How many years has he? ” and he told him; and he looked at the teeth of the camel, and found him to be as he had said; whereupon he said, صدقنى سِنُّ بكره. (Har p. 95.) بُكْرٌ: see بَكْرٌ.

بِكْرٌ A virgin; (S, K;) and a man who has not yet drawn near to a woman; (TA;) contr. of ثَيِّبٌ, applied to a man as well as to a female: (Mgh, Msb:) pl. أَبْكَارٌ.

(TA.) بَكَرٌ: see بُكْرَةٌ, in three places: A2: and see also بَكْرَةٌ.

رَجُلٌ بَكُرٌ فِى حَاجَتِهِ, [in the CK, erroneously, بَكْرٌ,] and ↓بَكِرٌ, (S, K, * TA,) like حَذُرٌ and حَذِرٌ, (S,) and ↓بَكِيرٌ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) A man possessing the quality of applying himself early, or of hastening, or having strength to apply himself early, or to hasten, (صَاحِبُ بُكُورٌ, S, or قَوِىٌّ عَلَى البُكُورِ, K,) to do, or accomplish, the thing that he needs, or wants: (S:) بَكُرٌ and بَكِرٌ [and بَكِيرٌ] are [said to be] possessive epithets; for they have no simple triliteral verb.

Prov. i. 312:) or] from بَكَّرْتُ فِى كَذَا meaning “ I was,” or “ became,” or “ went,” “ before in such a thing; ”

so that it signifies that they came from first to last: (IJ:) or from بكرة in the first of the senses explained in this paragraph; though in this case there is no بكرة in reality. (AO, S. *) بُكْرَةٌ and ↓ بَكَرٌ The early morning, or first part of the day; (Bd and Jel in xix. 12 and xxxiii. 41 and xlviii. 9, as relating to the former word; and K; *) between the time of the prayer of daybreak and sunrise; syn. غُدْوَةٌ; and ↓ إِبْكَارٌ is a subst. in the same sense, (K,) accord. to the lexicologists, as Sb says; but he adds that he holds it to be [only] the inf. n. of أَبْكَرَ: (TA: [and the like is said in the S with reference to its occurrence in the Kur iii. 36 and xl. 57:]) pl. [of pauc.] of the first, أَبْكَارٌ, and [of mult.] بُكَرٌ. (T, Msb.) You say, أَتَيْتُهُ بُكْرَةٌ (S, A, Msb) and ↓ بَكَرًا, (A,) meaning ↓ بَاكِرٍا [I came to him early in the morning, &c.]. (S, A, Msb.) But if you mean the بُكْرَةٌ of a particular day, you say, أَتَيْتُهُ بُكْرَةَ, making the noun imperfectly decl.; [meaning I came to him early in the morning, &c., of this day;] and in this case it is not to be used otherwise than as an adv. n. of time. (S.) If you say ↓ بَاكِرًا, using this word as an epithet, you use بَاكِرَة for the fem. (TA.) You say also, سِرْ عَلَى فَرَسِكَ بُكْرَةً and ↓ بَكَرًا [Go thou on thy horse early in the morning, &c.]; like as you say, سَحَرًا. (S, TA.

(TA.) 2 طَلَّحَ see the last sentence above. b2: [Hence, app.,] طلّح عَلَيْهِ, (A, K,) inf. n. تَطْلِيحٌ, (K,) (tropical:) He importuned him, (A, K,) i. e., his debtor, so that he wearied him. (A.) 4 أَطْلَحَ see 1, last sentence.

طَلْحٌ, [a coll. gen. n.,] (S, A, Msb, K, &c.,) and طِلَاحٌ; (S, A, K;) the latter said to be pl. of طَلْحَةٌ, (TA,) which is the n. un. of طَلْحٌ, (S,) or, accord. to Sb, the pl. of طَلْحَةٌ is طُلُوحٌ, like as صُخُورٌ is pl. of صَخْرَةٌ; and طِلَاحٌ also; and the pl. of طَلْحٌ is أَطْلَاحٌ; (M;) [The acacia, or mimosa, gummifera; an appellation applicable also to the سَنْط, which produces the gum-arabic: (see صَمْغٌ:) the former tree is termed by Forskål (Flora Ægypt. Arab. p. cxxiv.) “ mimosa gummifera; ” but it is more commonly termed an “ acacia: ” its pods are termed عُلَّفٌ, q. v.:] a species of large trees, (S, K,) of the kind called عِضَاهٌ; (S, Msb;) growing in El-Hijáz [and Egypt and Nubia and other countries]; the fruit of which is like that of the سَمُرَة; having curved thorns: the places in which it grows are the interiors of valleys; and it is that species of the عضاه which is the largest in its thorns, and the hardest in respect of its wood, and the best in respect of its gum: Lth describes it as above, and says that it is the same as the أُمُّ غَيْلَانَ [and the like is said in the A]: ISh says that it is a tall tree, affording a shade in which men and camels repose, with few leaves, long and large branches, with many thorns, [more] than the prickles of the palm-tree, and a great trunk, which a man's arm cannot embrace; the same as the امّ غيلان; and grows in the mountains: AHn says that it is, of the trees called عضاه, the largest, and that which has most leaves, and the greenest, and has thick and long thorns, but these are of the least hurtful of thorns, producing no heat in the foot; it has a fruit (بَرَمَةٌ) of pleasant odour; and there is not among the trees called عضاه any that produces more gum than it, nor any more bulky; and it grows only in rugged, hard, fertile ground. (TA.) By طَلْح in the Kur lvi. 28 may be meant the trees called امّ غيلان, because they have a blossom of a very pleasant odour. (Zj.) [But see below.] b2: طَلْحٌ signifies also Banana-trees; syn. شَجَرُ المَوْزِ; and is said [by some] to have this meaning in the Kur lvi. 28: (Zj, T, TA:) or i. q. مَوْزٌ [which some expl. as meaning the trees above-mentioned; but others as meaning the fruit of those trees]: (Msb, K:) this, however, is said to be unknown in the [classical] language. (TA.) b3: And i. q. طَلْعٌ [generally meaning The spadix of the palmtree; but sometimes the spathe thereof]: (K:) a dial. var. of the latter word: (S:) mentioned by ISk among words formed by the substitution of one letter for another: and this meaning, also, it is said [by some] to have in the Kur lvi. 28. (TA.) A2: And Remains of turbid water in a watering-trough or tank. (K.) A3: And Having the belly void of food. (K.) b2: See also طَلِيحٌ.

طِلْحٌ The tick; syn. قُرَادٌ; (S, A, K;) sometimes applied thereto; (S;) as also ↓ طَلِيحٌ: (S, K:) or a large tick. (TA. [See حَمْنَانٌ.]) b2: [Hence,] طِلْحُ مَالٍ (tropical:) One who keeps to camels, or cattle, and to the care of them, like as cleaves the طِلْح, i. e. tick: (A:) a manager, tender, or superintendent, of camels, or cattle; or a good pastor thereof. (K.) b3: And طِلْحُ نِسَآءِ (tropical:) One who follows, or goes after, women (K, TA) much, or often. (TA.) b4: And طِلْحٌ is also expl. as signifying A pastor fatigued, or wearied: (K, TA:) and [its pl.] طُلُحٌ, as signifying [simply] pastors. (L.) El-Hotei-ah says, after mentioning certain camels and their pastors, إِذَا نَامَ طِلْحٌ أَشْعَثُ الرَّأْسِ خَلْفَهَا هَدَاهُ لَهَا أَنْفَاسُهَا وَزَفِيرُهَا When a pastor, dusty and shaggy or matted in the hair of the head, sleeps behind them, [and they become lost to him,] their breathing and their vehement respiration occasioned by the fulness of their bellies guides him to them, so that he finds them, even if they be distant. (S, * L.) b5: See also طَلِيحٌ, in four places.

طَلَحٌ (thus correctly written, not طَلْحٌ as in [some of the copies of] the S, TA) Enjoyment of a life of ease and plenty. (S, K.) طَلِحٌ an epithet applied to a camel. (A.) You say إِبِلٌ طَلِحَةٌ and طَلَاحَى [the latter being the pl.] Camels having a complaint (S, A, K) of their bellies (S, K) from eating of the trees called طَلْح: (S, A, K:) but [the meaning seems to be, from eating thereof immoderately, for] Aboo-Sa'eed disapproves of the phrase ابل طلاحى as meaning camels that have eaten of the طلح [and become disordered thereby, though it appears from what is said in art. عضه that camels are sometimes disordered by eating of any of the trees called عِضَاه], asserting it to signify camels that are fatigued, or wearied; for [he says that] the طلح do not disorder camels, but are wholesome food for them. (TA.) See also طَلِيحٌ, in two places. b2: And أَرْضٌ طَلِحَةٌ Land abounding with the trees called طَلْح. (K.) طَلْحَةٌ n. un. of طَلْحٌ [q. v.]. (S.) A2: أُمُّ طَلْحَةُ The louse. (TA.) طَلْحِيَّةٌ meaning A piece of paper is a postclassical word. (K.) طَلَاحٌ, as an attribute of a man, (tropical:) Badness, corruptness, or viciousness: (A:) contr. of صَلَاحٌ. (S, L, K.) طَلِيحٌ, (A, Mgh, Msb,) of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) Rendered lean, or emaciated, (A, Mgh, Msb,) applied to a camel; (A, Msb;) as also ↓ طَلِحٌ, (A,) or ↓ طِلْحٌ, (K,) and ↓ طَالِحٌ, so applied, by reason of fatigue, or of disease. (A.) Also, (S, Mgh, K,) applied to a camel, and ↓ طِلْحٌ, (S, K,) the latter, (S, MF,) and the former likewise, (MF,) applied to the male and to the female of camels and of other animals, (S, MF,) and ↓ طَلْحٌ, (K,) and ↓ طَلِحٌ, (L, TA,) Fatigued: (S, Mgh, K, TA:) and in like manner, applied to a she-camel, طَلِيحَةٌ and ↓ طِلْحَةٌ, (K, in the CK طَلْحةٌ,) but the forms commonly known of these two epithets thus applied are without ة, because each has the signification of a pass. part. n., (MF,) and ↓ طَالِحٌ: (IAar, K:) the pls. are طُلَّحٌ and طَلَائِحٌ, (S, K,) [both pls. of طَلِيحٌ,] meaning fatigued, or jaded, and rendered lean, by travel, (S,) and طَلْحَى, which last is [said by SM to be] anomalous, because [he holds that] it has the meaning of an act. part. n., [app. on the ground that some expl. طَلِيحٌ as syn. with مُعْىٍ and تَعِبٌ,] (TA,) and طُلُحٌ is another pl., [app. of the second and third and fourth of the sings. mentioned above,] signifying fatigued: (L, TA;) and أَطْلَاحٌ is pl. [of pauc.] of طِلْحٌ. (S.) One says نَاقَةٌ طَلِيحُ أَسْفَارٍ meaning A she-camel jaded, and rendered lean, by journeys: (T, S:) and طَلِيحُ سَفَرٍ, and سَفَرٍ ↓ طَلْحُ. (IAar, TA.) رَاكِبُ النَّاقَةِ طَلِيحَانِ means The rider of the she-camel and the she-camel are both fatigued, or jaded: (L, K:) for رَاكِبُ النَّاقَةِ وَالنَّاقَةُ طَلِيحَانِ: or for رَاكِبُ النَاقَةِ أَحَدُ الطَّليحَيْنِ. (L.) A2: See also طِلْحٌ.

إِبِلٌ طِلَاحِيَّةٌ and طُلَاحِيَّةٌ, (S, K,) the latter anomalous, (S,) or the latter is a dial. var. of the former, which is not a rel. n. from the pl. طِلَاحٌ, because, when a rel. n. is formed from a pl., the pl. is reduced to its sing. form, unless it is used as a name of a particular thing, (from a marginal note in copies of the S, [see also Ham pp.

791-2,]) Camels feeding upon the trees called طِلَاح [or طَلْح]. (S, K.) طَالِحٌ: see طَلِيحٌ, in two places. b2: Also, as an epithet applied to a man, (tropical:) Bad, corrupt, or vicious; (A, L;) in whom is no good: (L:) contr. of صَالِحٌ. (S, L.) مُطَلِّحٌ (assumed tropical:) One who acts wrongfully, unjustly, or injuriously, فِى المَالِ [with respect to property, or camels, or cattle]. (Az, L.) b2: And, accord. to Az, One who breathes hard, or emits the voice with a moaning sound, فِى الكَلَامِ [in speaking]; syn. نَهَّاتٌ [but the first letter in this word is written in the L without any diacritical point; so that the word may perhaps be بَهَّاتٌ, meaning a great, or frequent, calumniator, slanderer, or false-accuser: see art. بهت]. (L, TA.)

سحب

(Msb, K, TA.) One says of a woman, تَسْحَبُ ذَيْلَهَا [She drags, or draws along, her skirt upon the ground]. (TA.) And سَحَبَتِ الرِيحُ التُّرَابَ [The wind drew along the dust upon the ground]. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] سَحَبَتِ الرِّيَاحُ أَذْيَالَهَا (tropical:) [The winds dragged their skirts upon the ground; i. e., blew so as to efface the traces upon the ground]. (A: in the TA, الرِّيحُ.) And اِسْحَبْ ذَيْلَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنِّى (tropical:) [Drag thy skirt over that which has proceeded from me; i. e. efface what has proceeded from me, as when a person dragging his skirt effaces the traces upon the sand or dust over which he walks].

(A, TA.) b3: [Hence like wise, as will be shown by what next follows,] سَحَبَ, aor. ـَ (K, TA,) inf. n. as above, (S, TA,) means also (tropical:) He ate and drank vehemently. (S, K, TA.) 4 أَسْحَبْتُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ الشَّرَابِ (tropical:) I took, or ate and drank, much of the food and beverage; as also ↓ تَسَحَّبْتُ: because it is the habit of the glutton to draw and appropriate to himself the victuals [and beverages].

(TA.) 7 انسحب It was, or became, dragged, or drawn along, (S, A, Msb, K,) upon the ground: (Msb, K:) said of one's skirt, (S,) or of a thing, such as a garment &c. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] اِنْسَحَبَتْ فِيهَا ذَلَاذِلُ الرِّيحِ (tropical:) [The skirts of the wind were, or became, dragged upon it, i. e., upon the ground (الأَرْض), so as to efface the traces upon it]. (A, TA.) سُحْبَةٌ i. q. غِشَاوَةٌ [app. as meaning particularly A covering, or film, upon the eye: expl. by Freytag, from the Deewán el-Hudhaleeyeen, as meaning oculorum caligo]. (K.) b2: And Remains of water in a pool left by a torrent; as also ↓ سُحَابَةٌ: (K, TA:) dim. of the former ↓ سُحَيْبَةٌ. (TA.) رَجُلٌ سَحْبَانُ A man who takes, or carries, or sweeps, away everything by which he passes. (K.) b2: [Golius explains سَحْبَانٌ, as on the authority of Meyd, as meaning A portion of water remaining in a skin or other thing: but I think that this is a mistranscription for سُحْبَةٌ.]

سَحَابٌ [termed in the S and K pl. of سَحَابَةٌ, as also سُحُبٌ and سَحَائِبُ,] is, accord. to As, [correctly,] a coll. gen. n., used alike as masc. and fem. and sing. and pl.; (MF, TA;) and سَحَابَةٌ is its n. un.; (MF, Msb, * TA;) and سُحُبٌ is pl. of سَحَابٌ or of سَحَابَةٌ; (L, Msb, * MF, TA;) it may be pl. of either of these; (L, MF, TA;) and سَحَائِبُ is pl. of سَحَابَةٌ absolutely, and of سَحَابٌ when used as fem.: (MF, TA:) it signifies Clouds [or a collection of clouds]; (S, K, KL, TA, &c.;) and [clouds] from which the rain comes: (TA:) so called because drawn along in the air; (Msb, TA;) or because they draw along one another; or because the winds draw them along; (TA;) or because they draw along their fringes. (TA in art. حبو.) One says, مَطَرَتْهُمُ السَّحَابَةُ [The cloud rained upon them]. (A.) b2: [Hence,] أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ سَحَابَةَ نَهَارِى (tropical:) I remained at his abode the whole of my day: originally said in relation to a cloudy day; and then proverbially used in relation to any day.

(TA in art. جفن.) b4: السَّحَابُ is a name of (assumed tropical:) The Prophet's turban; (Mgh, TA:) it was thus called as being likened to the سحاب of the rain because of its being drawn along in the air.

(TA.) أُسْحُوبٌ (tropical:) A man who eats and drinks much, (S, A,) or vehemently: (K:) Az says that the word known to him in the former sense is أُسْحُوتٌ, with ت; but that perhaps اسحوب is allowable.

شيب

1 شَابَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. شَيْبٌ and شَيْبَةٌ (Msb, TA) and مَشِيبٌ, (TA,) He became whitehaired, or hoary. (Msb, TA.) And شاب رَأْسُهُ (S,) and رَأْسُهَا, (Msb, TA,) inf. n. شَيْبٌ and شَيْبَةٌ, (S,) His head, and her head, became white, or hoary. (S, Msb, TA.) b2: [Hence,] شَابَتْ رُؤُوسُ الآكَامِ (tropical:) [The heads, or summits, of the hills became white, or hoary]. (A.) A2: and شاب الرَّأْسَ It whitened the head: so expl. by ISk as used in the following saying, (S,) ascribed by J to 'Adee, but it is of 'Abeed Ibn-El-Abras: (IB, TA:) تَصْبُو وَأَنَّى لَكَ التَّصَابِى

↓ وَالرَّأْسُ قَدْ شَابَهُ المَشِيبُ [Thou inclinest to silly and youthful conduct: but whence cometh to thee the inclining to such conduct when hoariness, or the entering upon the period of hoariness, hath whitened the head?]. (S, * IB, TA.) [See also 2.]2 شيّبهُ الحُزْنُ, (Ks, S, A,) and شيّب الحُزْنُ رَأْسَهُ, and بِرَأْسِهِ, (Ks, S, Msb, K,) which last is a strange phrase, as it exhibits together two means by which a verb is rendered trans., [namely, the doubling of the medial radical letter of the verb and the introduction of the prep. بِ,] (TA,) Grief rendered him white-headed, or hoary-headed; (Ks, S, A, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اشابهُ, (A,) and ↓ اشاب رَأْسَهُ and بِرَأْسِهِ. (Ks, S, Msb, K. *) 4 اشاب, said of a man, He had children that had become white-headed, or hoary. (S, TA.) A2: See also the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

شَيْبٌ The hair (K, TA) itself: sometimes it is thus called: (TA:) [but app. only when white, or hoary; in which sense it is often used; as in the TA in arts. خضب and صبغ &c.:] or (K, TA, in the CK “ and ”) whiteness of the hair, or hoariness; (A, K, TA;) as also ↓ مَشِيبٌ: (K, TA:) both signify the same [and are thus used as simple substs. and are also inf. ns.]: (S:) or the former has the latter of the two significations given above; (As, S, Mgh, Msb;) and is little and much [whiteness of the hair]: one says, عَلَاهُ الشَّيْبُ [Whiteness of the hair, or hoariness, came upon him]: (TA:) but ↓ مَشِيبٌ signifies a man's entering upon the period of whiteness of the hair, or hoariness: (As, S, Msb:) see an ex. of this latter in the first paragraph. In the phrase in the Kur [xix. 3], وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا, (S,) meaning And whiteness of the hair of the head hath spread therein like as the radiance of fire spreads in firewood, (Jel,) [or the head has become glistening with whiteness of the hair, or hoariness,] شيبا is in the accus. case as a specificative: or, accord. to Akh, as an inf. n., as though it were said وَشَابَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا. (S, TA. *) شِيبٌ, of a whip, a genuine Arabic word of wellknown meaning; (S;) The thong (K, TA) at the upper extremity (TA) of a whip: (K, TA:) there are two of such thongs, called شِيبَانِ. (TA.)

شَيْبَةٌ an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, Msb.) b2: and accord. to El-Khafájee, A white, or hoary, beard: but MF says that this is a conventional postclassical meaning. (TA.) A2: [Also, in the present day, applied to A species of artemisia; (Forskål's Flor. Aegypt. Arab., p. lxxiii., no. 439;) the artemisia arborescens of Linn.: (Delile's Flor. Aegypt. Illustr., no. 799:) b2: and Lichen; (Forskål ubi suprà;) the lichen prunastri of Linn. (Delile, ib., no. 976 (assumed tropical:) .) And شَيْبَةُ الجَبَلِ Lichen scyphifer. (Forskål, p. lxxviii., no. 559.)]

شِيبَانُ and مِلْحَانُ, (S, A,) thus in a verse of El-Kumeyt, as related by Ibn-Selemeh, with kesr to the ش and م, (S,) or the former word is written ↓ شَيْبَانُ, and sometimes شِيبَانُ, and the latter is as above, (K,) and sometimes مَلْحَانُ, (TA,) (tropical:) The two months of winter; (A, TA;) [as though meaning the second of the Six Seasons, commencing two months after the autumnal equinox; (see the former of the two tables in p.

1254;)] i. q. شَهْرَا قِمَاحٍ, (S, A, K, TA,) which are the two coldest months; (S, K, TA;) so called because of the earth's being then white with snow and hoar frost; (S, TA;) falling at the period of the [auroral] rising of the Scorpion and the Vulture, (العَقْرَب and النَّسْر, [by which latter is meant النَّسْرُ الوَاقِعُ, i. e. the star a of Lyra,]) said by him who knows not to be the two Kánoons [i. e. كَانُونُ الأَوَّلُ and كَانُونُ الثَّانِى, corresponding to December and January O.S.]: (TA:) [it appears that they nearly agree with the two Kánoons; for El-Kazweenee and others say that القَلْبُ (i. e. the heart of the Scorpion, which is the 18th of the Mansions of the Moon,) and النَّسْرُ الوَاقِعُ rise together, and their auroral rising in Central Arabia, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, accord. to my calculation, (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ in art. نزل,) was on the 25th of November O. S.: see also مِلْحَانُ, and قِمَاحٌ: it is also said that] شِيبَانُ [used alone] is a name of [the month] كانون الاوّل, because of the whiteness of the earth by reason of the hoar-frost and snow. (Mgh.) شِيَابٌ and شِيَابَةٌ [the former erroneously written by Golius شَيَّابٌ]: see شَوْبٌ, in art. شوب.

شَيُوبٌ: see أَشْيَبُ.

شَائِبٌ [Being, or becoming, white-haired, or hoary]: see أَشْيَبُ. b2: شَيْبٌ شَائِبٌ is a phrase like لَيْلٌ لَائِلٌ, (S,) or like شِعْرٌ شَاعِرٌ: it means Intense whiteness of the hair. (TA.) أَشْيَبُ White-haired, white-headed, or horary: (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) [it is said to be] anomalous in form; (S, Mgh, Msb;) for an epithet of this measure is only formed [by rule] from a verb of the measure فَعِلَ, aor. ـْ (S, TA;) and it is a condition of the formation of such an epithet that it must denote a defect or the like, or a colour: but أَشْيَبُ signifies white-headed, or hoaryheaded; [so that it does denote a colour;] and ElKhafájee says that it is reckoned among epithets denoting defects, or blemishes, like أَعْمَى and أَعْرَجُ: (MF, TA:) it is said in the K that it has no فَعْلَآء, i. e., (TA,) the epithet شَيْبَآءُ is not applied to a woman; (Msb, TA;) شَمْطَآءُ being used in its stead; (TA;) though one says شَابَ رَأْسُهَا: (Msb, TA:) [but see Har p. 418, where شَيْبَآءُ is mentioned, applied to a woman, as meaning aged, and white, or hoary, in the head: and see شَيْبَآءُ in art. شوب:] the pl. is شِيبٌ; (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K;) with which is syn. شُيَّبٌ; (TA, as from the K; [but not found by me in the copies of the K to which I have had access;]) and ↓ شُيُبٌ: (K, TA:) this last is said by IM to be allowable in poetry, عَلَى التَّمَامِ [here meaning as though it were a word composed of sound letters]; and this is the assertion of the lexicologists [in general]: ISd thinks it to be pl. of ↓ شَائِبٌ [q. v.], like as بُزُلٌ is of بَازِلٌ; or pl. of ↓ شَيُوبٌ [which app. meansvery white or hoary in the head], accord. to the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz, who say دَجَاجَةٌ بَيُوضٌ and دَجَاجٌ بُيُضٌ. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] one says, رَأَيْتُ الجِبَالَ شِيبًا (tropical:) I saw the mountains white with snow and hoar frost. (A, TA.) and شِيبٌ [used alone] signifies (assumed tropical:) Mountains upon which snow falls, and which are white, or hoary, therewith: (S, L:) or mountains white with snow or with dust: and, some say, white clouds: sing.

(Id. voce تَعَاشِيبُ.) b3: يَوْمٌ أَشْيَبُ (assumed tropical:) A day in which are cold and clouds and صُرَاد [correctly صُرَّاد, meaning thin clouds, or cold and humid clouds, in which is no water]; as also ↓ يَوْمٌ شَيْبَانُ. (K.) b4: لَيْلَةُ الشَّيْبَآءِ, (K,) or لَيْلَةُ شَيْبَآءَ, (TA,) and لَيْلَةٌ شَيْبَآءُ, (TA voce حُرٌّ,) (assumed tropical:) The last night of the [lunar] month: (K, TA:) its first night is called لَيْلَةُ حُرَّةٍ and لَيْلَةٌ حُرَّةٌ. (K voce حُرٌّ.) بَاتَتْ بِلَيْلَةِ شَيْبَآءَ, and بِلَيْلَةِ الشَّيْبَآءِ: see in art. شوب.

(A 'Obeyd.)

(TA.) Accord. to El-Mufaddal, it originates from a disease which befalls the standing corn &c., and which is not removed until the sun rises upon it: if cattle eat of it before that, they die: wherefore Mohammad forbade pasturing by night: but sometimes a camel runs away, and eats of such pasture before sunrise, and dies in consequence: then a dog comes, and eats of its flesh, and becomes mad; and if it bite a man, he also becomes mad, and when he hears the barking of a dog, answers it [by barking].

[When war sets over thee &c.] there are two opinions: one, that by كليب is meant مُكَالِب (see 2): the other, that it is an inf. n. of كَلِبَتِ الحَرْبُ [“ The war became vehement, severe, or fierce ”]: the former is the more valid. (IM.) كَلَّابٌ: see كَلْبٌ and مُكَلِّبٌ.

1 حَمِدَهُ, aor. ـَ inf. n. حَمْدٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and مَحْمَدٌ and مَحْمِدٌ (L, K) and مَحْمَدَةٌ (S, L, K) and مَحْمِدَةٌ; (L, K, and so in a copy of the S;) the last of these inf. ns. [and the third also] extr.; (L;) or the last is an inf. n. and the last but one signifies “ a praiseworthy quality,” or “ a quality for which one is praised; ” (ElFenáree, MF;) or the last may be a simple subst.; (Har p. 392;) He praised, eulogized, or commended, him; spoke well of him; mentioned him with approbation; (Akh, S, L, Msb;) عَلَى كَذَا for such a thing; (L, Msb;) contr. of ذَمَّهُ: (S, L:) accord. to IAmb, formed by transposition from مَدَحَ: (marginal note in a copy of the MS:) but it is of less common application than the latter verb; (Msb in art. مدح;) signifying he praised him, &c., for something depending on his (the latter's) own will: thus, the describing a pearl as clear is not حَمْدٌ, but it is مَدْحٌ: (Kull p. 150:) or i. q. شَكَرَهُ: (Lh, K:) but it differs [sometimes] from this; (Msb;) for شُكْرٌ is only on account of favour received; whereas حَمْدٌ is sometimes because of favour received, (Th, Az, Msb,) and sometimes from other causes; (Th;) [and thus] the latter is of more common application than the former; (S;) therefore you do not say, شَكَرْتُهُ عَلَى شَجَاعَتِهِ; but you say, حَمِدْتُهُ على شجاعته I praised him, &c., for his courage. (Msb.) حمد also implies admiration: and it implies the magnifying, or honouring, of the object thereof; and lowliness, humility, or submissiveness, in the person who offers it; as in the saying of the afflicted, الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ Praise be to God; since in this case there is no worldly blessing, favour, or benefit. (Msb.) This last phrase is generally pronounced as it is written above: but some of the Arabs are related to have pronounced it الحَمْدَ لِلّٰهِ, putting the former word in the accus. case as the absolute complement of the verb أَحْمَدُ understood: and others, الحَمْدِلِلّٰهِ; assimilating the final vowel of the former word to the vowel immediately following it: and others, الحَمْدُ لُلّٰهِ; assimilating the first vowel in للّٰه to the vowel immediately preceding it: Zj, however, disapproves of the latter two modes of pronouncing it: some of them also said, بَدَأْتُ بِالحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ, meaning I began with the saying Praise be to God. (L.) [See also حَمْدٌ below.] You say, أَحْمَدُ إِلَيْكَ اللّٰهَ I praise God (Az, A, * L, K) to thee, or in thy presence: (L:) or with thee: (Kh, Az:) or I praise to thee God's benefits, and his blessings, or favours; or I praise to thee God's blessings, or favours, and discourse to thee of them. (L.) And حَمِدَ لَهُ أَمْرًا (tropical:) He approved of a thing for him. (L, K. *) And حَمِدَ إِلَيْهِ أَمْرًا (tropical:) He approved of a thing for him, and commanded, or enjoined, him to do it. (L.) and جاوَرْتُهُ فَمَا حَمِدْتُ جِوَارَهُ (tropical:) [I became his neighbour, and did not approve of being so]. (A.) See also 4. b2: Also, (aor. and inf. n. as above in the beginning of this art., K,) He recompensed, or requited, him: he gave him, or paid him, his due. (L, K.) A2: حَمِدَ عَلَيْهِ, aor. ـَ (L, K, *) inf. n. حَمَدٌ, (TA,) He was angry with him. (L, K.) 2 حمّد, inf. n. تَحْمِيدٌ, has a more intensive signification than حَمدَ; (S;) [He declared the praises of God: or] he praised God much, with good forms of praise (بِالمَحَامِدِ الحَسَنَةِ): (T, L:) or repeatedly; or time after time. (L, K.) تحميد [used as a simple subst.] has a pl., namely, تَحَامِيدُ. (A.) [See an ex. voce خَاتَمٌ, in the latter part of the paragraph.]4 احمد He (a man, S) came to a state, or result, such as was praised, or commended, or approved; properly, his affair, or case, came to such a state or result: (S, L, K:) or (so in the K, but in the L “ and ”) he did, or said, that for which he should be praised, or commended; or that which was praiseworthy, or commendable; (A, L, K; *) contr. of أَذَمَّ. (A.) And احمد أَمْرُهُ (assumed tropical:) His affair, or case, was, or became, praiseworthy, or approvable, in his estimation: (K:) or احمد أَمْرَهُ (as in the L) he esteemed his affair, or case, praiseworthy, or approvable. (L [agreeably with what next follows].) A2: احمدهُ He found him (a man, A, L) [or it] to be such as is praised, commended, or approved; or praiseworthy, commendable, or approvable; (S, A, L, Msb;) contr. of أَذَمَّهُ: (TA in art. ذم:) he made it manifest that he was worthy of praise, eulogy, commendation, or approbation: (L:) he approved of his action, and his course of conduct, or his tenet or tenets, and did not expose it, or them, to others. (K.) And أَحْمَدْتُ صَنِيعَهُ (tropical:) [I found his action to be praiseworthy, or commendable, or approvable]. (A.) And احمد الأَرْضَ (tropical:) He approved the land as a dwelling-place: (A:) or he found the land to be such as is praised, commended, or approved; as also ↓ حَمِدَهَا; (L, K;) but the former verb is the more chaste in this sense. (L.) And احمد مَوْضِعًا (tropical:) He found a place to be such as is praised, commended, or approved, and convenient, or suitable, so that he approved it as a dwelling-place, or for its pasture. (S, L.) 5 تحمّد He affected, or made a show of, (تَكَلَّفَ,) praise. (A.) You say, ↓ وَجَدْتُهُ مُتَحَمِّدًا مُتَشَكِّرًا [I found him affecting, or making a show of, praise and thanks]. (A.) b2: He praised himself. (KL.) [Golius assigns this meaning to ↓ احتمد, as on the authority of the KL; but it is not assigned to this verb in my copy of the KL.] b3: فُلَانٌ يَتَحَمَّدُ النّاس [app. a slight mistranscription, for لِلنَّاسِ, i. q. إِلَى النَّاسِ, as in an ex. in the next sentence but one,] Such a one pretends to men, or shows them, that he is praiseworthy, بِجُودِهِ for his liberality. (L.) b4: تحمّد عَلَيْهِ He reproached him for a favour, or benefit, which he (the former) had bestowed, or conferred; or recounted his gifts, or actions, to him; syn. اِمْتَنَّ. (S, L, K.) One says, مَنْ أَنْفَقَ مَالَهُ عَلَى

نَفْسِهِ فَلَا يَتَحَمَّدْ بِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ [Whoso expends his property upon himself, he shall not reproach men therewith as for favours, or benefits, bestowed]: (S, A:) or فلا يتحمّد بِه إِلَى النَّاسِ [he shall not pretend to men that he is praiseworthy on account of it]: a prov., meaning that a man is not praised for his beneficence to himself, but for his beneficence to others. (L.) 6 تحامدوا (tropical:) [They praised, or commended, a thing, one to another]. You say, الرُّعَآءُ يَتَحَامَدُونَ الكَلَأَ (tropical:) [The pastors praise, or commend, one to another, the herbage]. (A.) 8 احتمد: see 5.

A2: Said of heat, [It burned, or burned fiercely; or was, or became, vehement:] formed by transposition from احتدم. (S.) 10 اِسْتَحْمِدِ اللّٰهَ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ بِإِحْسَانِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ وإِنْعَامِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ [so I find it written, as though meaning Demand thou, of his creatures, the praising of God, by reason of his beneficence to them, and his bounty to them: but I think that we should read اِسْتَحْمَدَ اللّٰهُ, and that the meaning is, God hath demanded praise of his creatures by his beneficence, &c.]. (A.) حَمْدٌ Praise, eulogy, or commendation; &c. (S, &c. [For further explanations of this word, and respecting the phrase الحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ and its variations, see 1: and see also شَكَرَ.]) سُبْحَانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ, said by a person praying, means [I extol, or celebrate, or declare, thy remoteness, or freedom, from every impurity, or imperfection, &c., O God, (see art. سبح,)] and I begin with praising Thee; أَبْتَدِئُ being understood: (Az, L, Msb:) or by بحمدك is meant الحَمْدُ لَكَ praise be to Thee: and nearly the same is said in explanation of the phrase in the Kur [ii. 28], نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ, that by بحمدك is meant حَامِدِينَ لَكَ: [see, again, art. سبح:] or by the expression وبحمدك is meant, accord. to Aboo-'Othmán ElMázinee, and by praising Thee I extol thy remoteness, or freedom, from every impurity, &c.; سَبَّحْتُكَ being understood: or the و is redundant, as it is in the phrase, رَبَّنَاوَلَكَ الحَمْدُ [O our Lord, praise be to Thee], in which the و is sometimes omitted: or, accord. to Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà, the و is corroborative, as in the phrase, وَهُوَ لَكَ, for هُوَ لَكَ. (Msb.) لِوَآءُ الحَمْدِ بِيَدِى يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ [The standard of praise shall be in my hand on the day of resurrection (said by Mohammad)] means that he shall be singularly distinguished by praise, or praising, on that day. (L.) b2: See حَمَادِ: b3: and حُمَادَاكَ.

A2: See also حَمِيدٌ.

A3: It is also said to signify The young one of the kind of bird called قَطًا: so in the prov., حمْدُ قَطَاةٍ يَسْتَمِى الأَرَانِبَ A young one of a katà desires to make the hares its prey: applied to a weak man who desires to insnare a strong one. (Meyd, TA.) A4: See also what next follows.

حَمَدَةٌ The sound of the flaming, or blazing, of fire; (S, K;) as also حَدَمَةٌ [from which it is formed by transposition: see 8: and ↓ حَمْدٌ app. signifies the same: see حَدْمٌ]. (TA.) حُمَدَةٌ: see حَمَّادٌ.

حَمَادِ لَهُ Praise, and thanks, be to him: (S, L, K:) i. e., to such a one: (S, L:) contr. of جَمَادِ لَهُ [q. v.]. (S and A in art. جمد.) حَمَادِ is indecl., with kesr for its termination, because it deviates from its original, which is the inf. n. [↓ الحَمْدُ]: (S, L:) [i. e.,] it is [a quasi-inf. n., (see اِسْمُ مَصْدَرٍ in art. صدر,) being] a proper name for المَحْمَدَةُ [as syn. with الحَمْدُ]. (Sharh Shudhoor edh-Dhahab.) حَمُودٌ: see what next follows.

حَمِيدٌ and ↓ مَحْمُودٌ (S, A, L, K) and ↓ حَمُودٌ (as in copies of the K, but this seems to be an intensive epithet,) Praised, eulogized, or commended; spoken well of; mentioned with approbation; approved; such as is praised, &c.; praiseworthy, laudable; commendable, or approvable: (S, L, K: [in which, as well as in numberless exs., all these significations are clearly indicated, though not so clearly explained; the Arabic words to which they apply exactly agreeing with the Latin “ laudatus,” which means both “ praised ” and “ praiseworthy: ”]) the fem. of the first is with ة, (L, K,) because the signification, though properly that of a pass. part. n., nearly agrees with that of an act. part. n.: (L:) you say, [هِىَ حَمِيدَةٌ She is praised, &c.; and] أَفْعَالُهُ حَمِيدَةٌ (tropical:) [His actions are praised, &c.]. (A.) ↓ حَمْدٌ, also, [originally an inf. n., like its contr.

ذَمٌّ,] used as an epithet applied to a man, is syn. with مَحْمُودٌ; (K;) and as an epithet applied to a woman, syn. with مَحْمُودَةٌ, (TA,) as is also حَمْدَةٌ: (K, TA:) and you likewise say مَنْزِلٌ حَمْدٌ (K) and مَنْزِلَهٌ حَمْدَةٌ (Lh) (assumed tropical:) A place where one alights, sojourns, or abides, such as is praised, or approved, (K, TA,) and convenient, or suitable. (TA.) الحَمِيدُ, meaning He who is praised, or praiseworthy, in every case, is an epithet applied to God; one of the names termed الأَسْمَآءُ الحُسْنَى. (L.) ↓ المَقَامُ المَحْمُودُ [mentioned in the Kur xvii. 81] means (assumed tropical:) The station in which its occupant shall be praised by all creatures [on the day of resurrection] because of his being quickly reckoned with, and relieved from long standing: or it is the station of the intercessor. (L.) حُمَادَاكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا (S, L, K *) and ↓ حَمْدُكَ (L) The utmost of thy power, or of thine ability, [or the utmost of thy praiseworthy actions, (see an ex. of the pl. in what follows,) will be] thy doing such a thing; syn. مَبْلَغُ جَهْدِكَ, (L,) or قُصَارَاكَ, (S, L,) and غَايَتُكَ: (S, L, K:) and in like manner, حُمَادِى The utmost of my power, &c. (K.) حُمَادَيَاتُ النِّسَآءِ غَضُّ الطَّرْفِ, said by Umm-Selemeh, means The utmost of the praiseworthy qualities of women is the lowering of the eye. (L.) حَمَّادٌ (TA) and ↓ حُمَدَةٌ (A, K) A man (TA) who praises things much; a great, or frequent, praiser: (A, K, TA:) or the latter, a man who praises things much and extravagantly. (S.) You say, إِنَّهُ لَحَمَّادٌ لِلّٰهِ Verily he is one who praises God much, or repeatedly, or time after time. (L, K.) العَوْدُ أَحْمَدُ is a prov., (S,) meaning (tropical:) Repetition is more attributive of praise (أَكْثَرُ حَمْدًا): (S, A, K:) for generally you do not desire to return to a thing save after experience, or knowledge, [and approbation,] thereof: [the act of returning, therefore, implies praise:] or the meaning is, when one begins a kind act, he attracts praise to himself; and when one repeats, he gains more praise for himself: or احمد is from the pass. part. n., and the meaning is, the beginning is praised, or praiseworthy; and repetition is more deserving of being praised. (K.) [See Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 130]

مَحْمَدَةٌ (S, Mgh) and مَحْمِدَةٌ (Mgh) (assumed tropical:) [A cause of praise, commendation, or approval; a praiseworthy, commendable, or approvable, quality or action;] a thing for which one is, or is to be, praised, commended, or approved: (Mgh:) [see 1, first sentence:] contr. of مَذَمَّةٌ: (S:) [pl. مَحَامِدُ.] You say, هٰذَا طَعَامٌ لَيْسَتْ عِنْدَهُ مَحْمِدَةٌ, with kesr to the second م, (tropical:) [This is food in which is no approvable quality;] the eating of which is not approved. (A.) b2: [The pl.] مَحَامِدُ signifies [also] (assumed tropical:) Forms of praise. (Msb in art. جمع; &c.) [See 2.]

مُحَمَّدٌ A man praised much, or repeatedly, or time after time: (L, K:) endowed with many praiseworthy qualities. (S, L.) مَحْمُودٌ: see حَمِيدٌ, in two places.

يَوْمٌ مُحْتَمِدٌ A day intensely, or vehemently, hot: (K:) as also مُحْتَدِمٌ [from which it is formed by transposition: see 8]. (TA.) مُتَحَمِّدٌ: see 5.

سبت

1 سَبَتَ, (S, M, Msb,) aor. ـُ (S, Msb) only, (S,) or سَبِتَ, (so written in a copy of the M,) [both of which are said by MF to be indicated, or implied, in the K, but this is not clearly the case,] inf. n. سَبْتٌ, (M, K, * TA,) He rested: (S, M, Msb, K: *) and ceased, or abstained, from works: (TA:) and was, or became, quiet, still, or motionless: (M, TA:) and ↓ اسبت signifies [the same, or] he was, or became, motionless: (S, TA:) Az says that سَبَتَ in the first of these senses is not known in the language of the Arabs: (TA:) [but J says that] the primary signification of سُبَاتٌ is “ rest: ” and hence the former of these verbs signifies he slept. (S.) b2: And سَبَتَتِ اليَهُودُ, (S, * A, K,) aor. ـِ (S, K) and سَبُتَ, (K,) inf. n. سَبْتٌ, (S, K,) The Jews kept, or performed, the ordinances of their سَبْت [or sabbath]: (S, K: *) or سَبَتُوا, aor. ـِ (M, Msb) and سَبُتَ, (M,) inf. n. سَبْتٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ اسبتوا; (S, M, Msb;) they entered upon the سَبْت [or sabbath]: (S, M:) or they (the Jews) ceased from seeking the means of subsistence, and the labouring to acquire gain. (Msb.) It is said in the Kur [vii. 163], وَــيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ And on the day when they were not keeping the ordinances of their سَبْت: (S:) where some read ↓ لا يُسْبِتُونَ, from أَسْبَتَ; and some, ↓ لا يُسْبَتُونَ, in the pass. form, meaning when they were not made to enter upon [the observance of] the سَبْت. (Bd.) A2: سَبَتَتْ, aor. ـِ inf. n. سَبْتٌ, She (a camel) went the pace termed سَبْتٌ meaning as expl. below. (M.) b2: And سَبْتٌ signifies also The outstripping in running. (M.) A3: And as inf. n. of سَبَتَ said of a man, (TK,) سَبْتٌ also signifies The being confounded, or perplexed, unable to see one's right course, (K, TA,) and being [therefore] silent, or lowering the eyes, looking towards the ground. (TA.) A4: سَبَتَ الشَّىْءَ, (M, TA,) inf. n. سَبْتٌ, (M, A, Mgh, K,) i. q. قَطَعَهُ [meaning He cut the thing; or cut it off; severed it; and intercepted, or interrupted, it; put a stop, or an end, to it; or made it to cease; relating to ideal as well as real objects; for instance, to work, or action, as is shown in the TA]; (M, A, Mgh, K, TA;) as also ↓ سبّتهُ: expl. by Lh as relating particularly to necks. (M, TA.) [Hence,] سَبَتَ عِلَاوَتَهُ, (S, M,) inf. n. سَبْتٌ, (S, K,) He smote his neck [so as to decapitate him]: (S, M, K:) and سُبِتَتْ عِلَاوَتُهُ, His head was cut off. (A.

(M, TA.) b3: And سَبَتَ رَأْسَهُ, (M, A, Mgh, Msb,) aor. ـِ (M, Msb, TA,) inf. n. سَبْتٌ, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) He shaved his head: (S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) and in like manner, سَبَتَ شَعَرَهُ, he shaved off his hair; (TA;) as also ↓ سبّتهُ and ↓ اسبتهُ.

(Msb, TA.) 2 سَبَّتَ see 4: A2: and see also 1, latter half, in three places.4 أَسْبَتَ see 1, former half, in four places. b2: اسبتت الحَيَّةُ, inf. n. إِسْبَاتٌ The serpent was, or became, silent; or bent down its head, or lowered its eyes, looking towards the ground. (TA.) A2: [اسبت It (a drug) produced the kind, or degree, or semblance, of sleep termed سُبَات: and hence, it torpified, or benumbed: often used in this sense in medical works: and ↓ سبّت is also used in this sense in the present day.]

A3: See also 1, near the end of the paragraph.7 انسبت [It became cut off, interrupted, put a stop to, or put an end to, or it ceased: meanings indicated in this art. in the M and TA. b2: ] It became extended: (K:) or long and extended, together with softness.

(K, * TA.) b3: It (a hide) became soft by the process of tanning. (IAar, TA.) b4: انسبتت الرُّطَبَةُ The date became wholly pervaded by ripeness: (M, TA:) and became soft. (TA.)

[of pauc.] is أَسْبُتٌ and [of mult.] سُبُوتٌ: (S, M, Msb, K:) it has no dim. (Sb, S in art. امس.) b3: سَبْتٌ also means A week; from the سَبْت to the سَبْت [i. e. from the sabbath to the sabbath]: so in the saying, in a trad., فَمَا رَأَيْنَا الشَّمْسَ سَبْتًا [And we saw not the sun for a week]: as when one says “ twenty autumns ” meaning “ twenty years: ” or it means in this instance a space of time, whether short or long. (TA.) b4: I. q. بُرْهَةٌ [i. e. A space, or period, or a long space or period,] (M, K, TA) مِنَ الدَّهْرِ [of time]: (TA:) so in the saying, أَقَمْتُ سَبْتًا [I remained, staid, dwelt, or abode, a space, or a long space, of time]; as also ↓ سَبْتَةً and ↓ سَنْبَتًا and ↓ سَنْبَتَتًا. (M, K.) b5: And i. q. دَهْرٌ [meaning Time; or a long time; or a space, or period, of time, whether long or short; &c.]; as also ↓ سُبَاتٌ. (S, M, K.) And [hence] ↓ اِبْنَا سُبَاتٍ means (assumed tropical:) The night and the day: (S, M, K:) Ibn Ahmar says, وَكُنَّا وَهُمْ كَابْنَىْ سُبَاتٍ تَفَرَّقَا سِوًى ثُمَّ كَانَا مُنْجِدًا وَتَهَامِيَا [And we were, with them, like the night and the day that parted asunder alike, then became one going towards Nejd and one going towards Tihámeh]: (S, K:) such, they say, is the meaning: (S:) or, as IB says, on the authority of Aboo-Jaafar Mohammad Ibn-Habeeb, ابنا سبات were two men, one of whom saw the other in a dream, and then one of them awoke in Nejd, and the other in Tihámeh: or they were two brothers, one of whom went to the east to see where the sun rose, and the other to the west to see where it set. (L, TA.) A2: Also A certain pace (S, M, K) of camels: (S, K:) or a quick pace: (TA:) or i. q. عَنَقٌ [q. v.]: (AA, S:) or a pace exceeding that termed العَنَقُ. (M.)

(K) b3: A man cunning, i. e. possessing intelligence, or sagacity, or intelligence mixed with craft and forecast; and excellent in judgment; or very cunning &c.; (K, TA;) silent, or lowering his eyes, looking towards the ground; (TA;) and ↓ سُبَاتٌ signifies the same. (K, TA.) b4: A man who sleeps much; (K;) i. e. كَثِيرُ السُّبَاتِ. (TA.) See also مَسْبُوتٌ.

سُبْتٌ A certain plant, resembling the خِطْمِىّ [or marsh-mallow]; (Kr, M, K;) as also ↓ سَبْتٌ, (K [there expressly said to be with fet-h],) or ↓ سِبْتٌ: (M [so written in a copy of that work]:) said to be a certain plant used for tanning. (MF.) See the next paragraph.

سِبْتٌ The hides, or skins, of oxen; (M, K;) whether tanned or not tanned: so some say: (M:) or (so accord. to the M, in the K and TA “ and,” but the و is omitted in the CK,) any tanned hide; (As, AA, M, K;) said to be so called [because the tanning removes the hair,] from السَّبْتُ, “the act of shaving: ” (AA, TA:) or such. as is tanned with قَرَظ [q. v.]: (M, K:) or only ox-hides tanned: so says AHn on the authority of As and Az: (TA:) or ox-hides tanned with قَرَظ, (S, Mgh,) whereof are made [the sandals called] ↓ نِعَالٌ سِبْتيَّةٌ: (S) these are hence thus called: (Mgh:) they are sandals having no hair upon them: (M, Msb:) or sandals tanned with قرَظ: (AA, TA:) accord. to Az, they are thus called because their hair has been shaven off (سُبِتَ, i. e. حُلِقَ,) and removed by a wellknown process in tanning, (Mgh, * TA,) so that they are soft; and they are of the sandals of people that lead a life of ease and softness: (Mgh:) IAar says that they are thus called because of their having become soft by the tanning: accord. to this, they should be called ↓ سَبْتِيَّة; and so accord. to a saying of EdDáwoodee, that they are called in relation to سُوقُ السَّبْتِ [“ the Market of the Sabbath ”]: it is also said that they are called in relation to the ↓ سُبْت, with damm, which is a plant used for tanning therewith; so that they should be called ↓ سُبْتِيَّة, unless the appellation be an instance of a rel. n. deviating from its source of derivation [or unless this plant be also termed سِبْتٌ, as it is accord. to a copy of the M]: (TA:) see سُبْتٌ.

It is related of the Prophet, that he saw a man walking among the graves wearing his sandals, and said, يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتَينِ اِخْلَعْ سِبْتَيْكَ [meaning (tropical:) O wearer of the pair of sandals of سِبْت, pull off thy pair of sandals of سِبْت]: (S, * TA:) and accord. to the A, they are thus termed tropically: it is like the saying “ Such a one wears wool, and cotton, and silk; ” meaning “ garments made thereof; ” as is said in the Nh: but, as some relate it, what he said was, ↓ يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّيْنِ, the last of these words being a rel. n.; and thus it is found in the handwriting of Az, in his book. (TA.) سِبِتٌّ, (M, L, K,) like فِلِزٌّ, (TA,) [in a copy of the M erroneously written سِبْت,] A certain plant; [anethum graveolens, or dill, of the common garden-species;] an arabicized word, from [the Pers\.] شِبِتّ [or شِبِتْ]: (AHn, M, L:) or i. q. شِبِتٌّ; both words arabicized from شِوِذْ [or شِوِدْ]: (K:) asserted by some to be the same as سَنُّوتٌ [q. v.]: (M, L:) Az says that شِبِتٌّ, the name of a well-known herb, or leguminous plant, is an arabicized word; that he had heard the people of El-Bahreyn call it سِبِتٌّ, with the unpointed س, and with ت; that it is originally, in Pers\., شِوِذْ; and that it has another dial. var., namely, سبط [i. e. سِبِطٌّ]. (El-Jawáleekee, TA.) سَبْتَةٌ: see سَبْتٌ, in the middle of the paragraph.

A2: Also Goats, collectively. (K.) سَبْتَآءُ A [desert such as is termed] صَحْرَآء: (Az, K:) or أَرْضٌ سَبْتَآءُ is like صَحْرَآءُ: or a land in which are no trees: (M:) and i. q. ↓ مَسْبُوتَةٌ [i. e. a bare land; as though shorn of its herbage]: (TA:) pl. سَبَاتِىُّ. (M.) b2: Also, [in like manner] a fem. epithet, Having spreading, or expanded, ears, whether long or short.

(M.) نِعَالٌ سِبْتِيَّةٌ, and سَبْتِيَّةٌ, and سُبْتِيَّةٌ; and the dual. of سِبْتِىٌّ, applied to a pair of sandals: see سِبْتٌ, in four places.

سِبْتَانٌ, with kesr, Foolish, stupid, or of little sense; (K, TA;) confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course; without understanding. (TA.) سُبَاتٌ primarily signifies Rest [like سَبْتٌ]: (S, Msb:) and hence, sleep: (S, K:) or heavy sleep: (Msb:) or sleep that is hardly perceptible (خَفِىّ, M, K, [in some copies of the K, as mentioned by Freytag, خَفِيف, i. e. light,]), like a swoon: (M:) or the commencement of sleep in the head [and its continuance] until it reaches the heart: (Th, M, K:) or the sleep of one who is sick; i. e. light sleep: (TA:) and ↓ سَبْتٌ signifies the same as سُبَاتٌ. (T, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [lxxviii. 9, and in like manner the word is used in xxv. 49], وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا; (S;) i. e. قَطْعًا; as though a man, when he slept, were cut off from [the rest of] mankind: (IAar, TA:) or سبات is when one is cut off, or ceases, from motion, while the soul still remains in the body; i. e., the text means, And we have made your sleep to be rest unto you: (Zj, TA:) or we have made your sleep to be a cutting off from sensation and motion, for rest to the animal forces, and for causing their weariness to cease: or, to be death: (Bd:) or, to be rest unto your bodies by the interruption of labour, or work. (Jel.) A2: See also سَبْتٌ, latter half, in three places.

سَبُوتٌ A she-camel that goes the pace termed سَبْتٌ: or constantly going the pace termed عَنَقٌ. (M.) سَبَنْتًى, (S, M, K,) as also سَبَنْدًى, (S,) Bold, or daring; (S, M, K;) as an epithet applied to anything [i. e. man or brute]: the ى is added to render it quasi-coordinate to the class of quinqueliteral-radical words, not to denote the fem. gender, for it receives ة as a termination [to denote the fem.], becoming سَبَنْتَاةٌ; (S;) and has tenween. (TA.) A poet applies the fem. epithet to a she-camel. (S.) b2: Also The leopard; (S, M, K;) so too with ة; (AHeyth, L in art. سبد;) and so سَبَنْدًى: probably thus called because of his boldness, or daringness: (S:) or, as some ay, the lion: fem. with ة: or the fem, signifies a bold, or daring, lioness: or a she-camel of bold, or daring, breast; but this last is not of valid authority: (M:) and a beast of prey [absolutely]: (L in art. سيد:) pl. سَبَانِتُ; (K, TA;) and some of the Arabs make سَبَاتِى [or rather سَبَاتٍ] to be its pl. (TA.) b3: The fem. also, applied to a woman, signifies Sharp in tongue; or clamorous; or clamorous and foul-tongued; or long-tongued and vehemently clamorous. (TA.) سَنْبَةٌ: see سَبْتٌ, in the middle of the paragraph.

مُسْبِتٌ Motionless; not moving. (S, K.) b2: And, accord. to the L and K, Entering upon the day called السَّبْتُ [i. e. the sabbath]: but correctly, entering upon the observance of the سَبْت [or sabbath]. (TA.) مَسْبُوتٌ Affected with [the kind, or degree, or semblance, of sleep termed] سُبَات [q. v.]: (IAar, M:) or affected with a swoon: and, applied to a sick man, prostrated like him who is sleeping, generally closing his eyes: (S:) or confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course: (Msb:) and ↓ سَبْتٌ signifies the same as مَسْبُوتٌ; as in the saying, cited by As, يُصْبِحُ مَخْمُورًا وَيُمْسِى سَبْتَا [He is in the morning affected with the remains of intoxication, and he is in the evening affected with sleep, or heavy sleep, &c.]. (T, TA.) b2: Also Dead. (S, K.) A2: رَأْسٌ مَسْبُوتٌ [A head cut off.] (A.) b2: أَرْضٌ مَسْبُوتَةٌ: see سَبْتَآءُ.

رُطَبٌ مُنْسَبِتٌ Dates that have become all ripe, or ripe throughout. (S, K.) And رَطَبَةٌ مُنْسَبِتَةٌ [A date that is ripe throughout: and also] a soft date. (TA.)

Canopus] rises [aurorally, which it did in Central Arabia, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, on the 4th of August, O. S.], they increase the ظِمْء, so that the camels remain in the place of pasture two days, and come to the water on the fourth; and one says, وَرَدَتْ رِبْعًا: then follow the خِمْس and the سِدْس to the عِشْر: and the interval between their two drinkings is termed ظِمْءٌ, whether long or short.

And سَمْعُ أُذُنِى فُلَانًا يَقُولَ ذٰلِكَ, (K,) [said to be] the only instance of the kind among inf. ns. of trans. verbs except رَأْىُ عَيْنِى, (TA in art. رأى,) [in a copy of the M, in art. رأى, written سَمْعَ اذنى and رَأْىَ عينى,] and اذنى ↓ سِمْعُ, and اذنى ↓ سَمْعَةُ, and اذنى ↓ سِمْعَةُ [My ear heard (lit. my ear's hearing) such a one say that]. (K) b2: [As a simple subst., it signifies] The sense of the ear; (K;) [i. e., of hearing;] the faculty in the ear whereby it perceives sounds. (TA.) Thus in the Kur [1. 36], أَوْ أَلْقَى

السَّمْعُ, (TA,) meaning, Or who hearkeneth. (Bd, Jel.) [And hence,] أُمُّ السَّمْعِ The brain; (Z, O, K;) as also ↓ أُمُّ السَّمِيعِ. (O, K.) One says, ضَرَبَهُ عَلَى أُمِّ السَّمْعِ [He struck him upon the brain]. (TA.) b3: [It is also used for the inf. n. of أَسْمَعَ. Hence] one says, قَالُوا ذٰلِكَ سَمْعَ أُذُنِى, and in like manner, اذنى ↓ سِمْعَ, and اذنى ↓ سَمَاعَ, and اذنى ↓ سَمَاعَةَ, i. e. إِسْمَاعَهَا [They said that making my ear to hear]: (K:) and one may say, سَمْعًا [making to hear]: this latter one says when he does not particularize himself. (Sb, K.) and ↓ كَلَّمَهُ سِمْعَهُمْ, with kesr, meaning, [He spoke to him making them to hear, or] so that they heard. (TA.) And a poet says, اللّٰهِ وَالعُلَمَآءِ أَنِّى ↓ سَمَاعَ

أَعُوذُ بِخَيْرِ خَالِكَ يَاابْنَ عَمْرِو [Making God and the learned men to hear that I seek protection by the goodness of thy maternal uncle, O son of 'Amr; or أَعُوذُ بِحَقْوِ خَالِكَ, i. e.

One says also, أَخَذْتُ ذٰلِكَ عَنْهُ سَمْعًا, and in like manner, ↓ سَمَاعًا, [i. e. I received that from him by being made to hear, which virtually means, by hearsay, or hearing it from him,] making the inf. n. [in each case] to be of a different form from that of the verb to which it belongs [in respect of signification; i. e., using an inf. n. of سَمِعَ for that of أَسْمَعَ]. (K, * TA.) [See also سُمْعَةٌ.] b4: It also signifies The ear; (S, * Mgh, Msb, * K;) as also ↓ مِسْمَعٌ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) because it is the instrument of hearing, (TA,) and ↓ مَسْمَعٌ, [because it is the place thereof,] (Aboo-Jebeleh, TA,) and ↓ سَامِعَةٌ; (S, K;) or ↓ مِسْمَعٌ signifies the ear-hole; (TA;) and so ↓ مَسْمَعٌ, and ↓ مُسْتَمَعٌ: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and سَمْعٌ is also used as a pl., (S, K,) being originally an inf. n.; but sometimes (S) it has for its pl. أَسْمَاعٌ (S, Msb, K) and أَسْمُعٌ, (Mgh, O, K,) a pl. of pauc., (TA,) [as is also the former,] and أَسَامِعُ is a pl. pl., (S, Mgh, O, K,) i. e. pl. of أَسْمَاعٌ, (S,) or of أَسْمُعٌ: (Mgh, O:) [for an ex. of the pl. pl., see 2:] the pl. of ↓ مِسْمَعٌ is مَسَامِعُ; (Msb, K;) or this may be an irreg. pl. of سَمْعٌ, like as مَشَابِهُ is of شَبَهٌ. (Sgh, TA.) You say, سَمْعُكَ إِلَىَّ i. e. [Incline thine ear to me; or] hear thou from me. (S, K.) And طَرَقَ الكَلَامُ السَّمْعُ [The speech struck the ear].

One also says, ↓ فُلَانٌ عَظِيمُ المِسْمَعَيْنِ Such a one is great in the ears. (S.) The phrase هُوَ بَيْنَ سَمْعِ الأَرْضِ وَبَصَرِهَا means (assumed tropical:) It is not known whither he has repaired: (Az, K:) or he is between the ears of the people of the land and their eyes, [so that they neither hear him nor see him,] the prefixed noun أَهْل being suppressed: (AO, K, * TA:) or (assumed tropical:) in a void land, wherein is no one; (ISk, K;) i. e., none hears his speech, nor does any see him, except [the wild animals of] the desert land: (K:) or (tropical:) between the length and breadth of the land.

(TA.) You say also, سِمْعُ أُذُنِى فُلَانًا يَقُولُ ذٰلِكَ: see سَمْعٌ. b2: Also i. q. إِسْمَاعٌ: so in the phrase قَالُوا ذٰلِكَ سِمْعَ أُذُنِى: (K:) and in the phrase كَلَّمَهُ سِمْعَهُمْ: (TA:) both explained above: see سَمْعٌ. b3: Also Mention, fame, report, that is heard; as also ↓ سَمْعٌ, and ↓ سَمَاعٌ: (K:) fame, or good report; (S, Msb, K, TA;) and so ↓ سَمْعٌ and ↓ سَمَاعٌ.

And the Arabs say, اللّٰهِ ↓ لَا وَسَمْعِ [or وَسِمْعِ اللّٰه,] meaning لَا وَ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ [No, by the glory of God]. (TA.) b4: [It is also used as an epithet: thus,] رَجُلٌ سِمْعٌ means يُسَمِّعُ [A man who makes others to hear of him]: or one says, هٰذَا امْرُؤٌ ذُو سِمْعٍ, and ↓ ذُوسَمَاعٍ, [This is a man of fame, or notoriety], (K,) whether good or bad.

(K.) سَمَعْمَعٌ (of the measure فَعَلْعَلٌ, S) Small in the head, (S, K,) and in the body; for او اللِّحْيَةِ in the K is a mistranscription for وَالجُثَّةِ: (TA:) cunning, or very cunning: (K, TA:) light of flesh, quick in work, wicked, and clever: (TA:) or [simply] light and quick: and applied as an epithet to a wolf.

سَمِيعٌ: see سَامِعٌ, in six places. b2: It is also syn. with مُسْمِعٌ [Making to hear; &c.]. (S, K.) Az remarks its being wonderful that persons should explain it as having this meaning in order to avoid the assigning to God the attribute of hearing, since that attribute is assigned to Him in more than one place in the Kur-án, though his hearing is not like the hearing of his creatures: he, however, adds, I do not deny that, in the language of the Arabs, سميع may be syn. with سَامِعٌ or مُسْمِعٌ; but it is mostly syn. with سَامِعٌ, like as عَلِيمٌ is with عَالِمٌ, and قَدِيرٌ with قَادِرٌ. (TA.) b3: Also [Made to hear; or] told; applied to a man. (Msb.) b4: أُمُّ السَّمِيعِ: see سَمْعٌ.

(TA.) b3: (assumed tropical:) Obedient. (TA.) سَامِعٌ and ↓ سَمِيعٌ are syn.; [signifying Hearing; and hearkening, or listening;] (Az, S, Msb, K;) like عَالِمٌ and عَلِيمٌ, and قَادِرٌ and قَدِيرٌ.

A2: Also A mule appointed [ for the conveyance of messengers] in a رِبَاط [or public building for the accommodation of travellers and their beasts, or in a سِكَّة, which is a house or the like specially appropriated to messengers and the beasts that carry them: thus it signifies a postmule: afterwards, it was applied also to a posthorse, and any beast appointed for the conveyance of messengers]: (Mgh:) [this is what is meant by the words in the S and K, البَرِيدُ المُرَتَّبُ:] it is a word of Persian origin, (Z in the Fáïk,) arabicized, from بُرِيدَهْ دُمْ, (Z in the Fáïk, and Mgh,) i. e. “docked,” or “having the tail cut off;” for the post-mules (بِغَالُ البَرِيدِ) had their tails cut off in order that they might be known: (Z in the Fáïk:) [or perhaps it is from the Hebrew פֶּרֶד “a mule:”] or it is applied to the beast appointed for the conveyance of messengers (دَابَّةُ البَرِيدِ) because he traverses the space called بَرِيد [defined below: but the reason before given for this appellation is more probable: it is like the Lat. “veredus”]: (T, Msb:) pl. بُرُدٌ (Z, Mgh, Msb) and بُرْدٌ, which is a contraction of the former, like as رُسْلٌ is of رُسُلٌ. (Z.) You say, حُمِلَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى البَرِيِد [Such a one was borne on the postmule or post-horse]. (S.) Imra-el-Keys speaks of a بريد of the horses of Barbar.

(M, * Z.) Hence the saying, الحُمَّى بَرِيدُ المَوْتِ Fever is the messenger of death: (T, Msb:) because it gives warning thereof. (T.) Hence also البَرِيدُ applied to The animal called الفُرَانِقُ, (said to be the jackal, but some say otherwise, TA,) because he gives warning before [the approach of] the lion. (T, S, K.) and صَاحِبُ البَرِيِد [The master of the messengers that journey on post-mules or post-horses]. (S.) [and خَيْلٌ البَرِيِد, occurring in many histories &c., The post-horses, that carry messengers and others.] b3: Also, having been applied to a messenger on a post-mule [or post-horse], it then became applied to The space, or distance, traversed by the messenger thus called; (Mgh, Msb; *) the space, or distance, between each سِكَّة and the سِكَّة next to it; the سكّة being a structure of either of the kinds called بَيْت and قُبَّة, or a رِبَاط [explained above], in which the appointed messengers lodge; (Z in the Fáïk;) the space, or distance, between two stations, or places of alighting; or two parasangs, or leagues; (M, K;) [six miles;] each parasang, or league, being three miles, and each mile being four thousand cubits: (TA:) or twelve miles; (S, A, Msb, K;) i. e. four parasangs, or leagues: (Mgh, TA:) [for] the space, or distance, between each station termed سِكَّة and the next to it is either two parasangs or four: (Z in the Fáïk:) the distance of twelve miles is [also] termed سِكَّةُ البَرِيِد: (T:) the pl. is as above. (T, Z.) A journey of four بُرُد, or forty-eight miles, renders it allowable to shorten prayers; which miles are of the Háshimee measure, such as are measured on the road to Mekkeh. (T.) b4: Also The course, or pace, of a camel along the space thus called: so in the following verse of Muzarrid, in praise of 'Arábeh El-Owsee: فَدَتْكَ عَرَابَ الــيَوْمَ أُمِّى وَ خَالَتِى

وَ نَاقَتِىَ النَّاجِى إِلَيْكَ بَرِيدُهَا [May my mother, and my maternal aunt, and my she-camel that is swift in her course to thee from one station to another, be ransoms for thee, O 'Arábeh, (the name being contracted,) this day!].

(T.) Hence the saying, بَاتَتْ كِيزَانُهُمْ عَلَى البَرَّادَةِ Their mugs passed the night upon the برّادة. (A, TA.) بَارِدٌ (S, M, Msb, K) Cold; chill; cool; (S, Msb;) applied to water [&c.]; (M, K;) as also ↓ بَرْدٌ, [originally an inf. n., like عَدْلٌ, used as an epithet,] (M, K,) and ↓ بَرُودٌ, (S, M, K,) and ↓ بُرَادٌ; (M, K;) but the last two are intensive forms [signifying very cold or chill or cool]. (TA.) b2: (tropical:) Anything loved, beloved, liked, or approved. (TA.) [Hence,] عَيْشٌ بَاردٌ (tropical:) An easy and a pleasant life, or state of life. (ISk, * T, * M, A, L, K.)

(M, K.) b3: Also, (T, S, M, &c.,) inf. n. as above, (M,) He clave to the dust, or earth: (M, K:) or he clave to the dust, or earth, by reason of poverty; (M;) he became so poor that he clave to the dust, or earth: (A'Obeyd, T:) or he became poor, (T, S, Msb,) as though he clave to the dust, or earth: (S, Msb:) and he suffered loss, and became poor, (M, K,) so that he clave to the dust, or earth; (M;) inf. n. as above, (M, K,) and مَتْرَبَةٌ, (M,) or مَتْرَبٌ, (K,) or both of these: (TA:) his wealth became little; (A;) as also ↓ اترب, (M, A, K,) and ↓ ترّب: (K:) or ↓ اترب signifies, (T, S, M,) or signifies also, (A, K,) and so تَرِبَ, (A,) and ↓ ترّب, (K,) his wealth became much, or abundant, (T, M, A, K,) so that it was like the dust, or earth; which is the more known meaning of the verb; (M;) or he became rich; (S, Msb;) as though he became possessed of wealth equal in quantity to the dust, or earth: (S, A:) accord. to Abu-l-'Abbás, ↓ تَتْرِيبٌ signifies [the having] much wealth; and also [the having] little wealth. (T.) You say, ↓ تَرِبَ بَعْدَ مَا أَتْرَبَ , meaning He became poor after he had been rich. (A.) b4: تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ, (T, S, A, Msb, in the M and K يَدَاهُ,) a form of imprecation, (S, Msb,) meaning [May thine arms, or thy hands, cleave to the dust, or earth, by reason of poverty; as is implied in the T: or] may thy hands have in them dust, or earth: (Ham p. 275:) or mayest thou not obtain, or attain, good: (S, K: *) or mayest thou be unsuccessful, or fail of attaining thy desire, and suffer loss: (A:) occurring in a trad., and as some relate, (A'Obeyd, T,) not meant as an imprecation; (A'Obeyd, T, Msb;) being a phrase current with the Arabs, who use it without desiring its fulfilment; (A'Obeyd, T;) but meant to incite, or instigate: (Msb:) some say that it means may thy hands become rich; but this is a mistake: (A'Obeyd, T:) and it is said to mean لِلّٰهِ دَرُّكَ [which see in art. در]: and some say that it is literally an imprecation: but the first assertion is the most worthy of respect, (that it is not meant as an imprecation,) and is corroborated by the saying, in a trad., اِنْعِمْ صَبَاحًا تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ [Mayest thou have a pleasant morning: may thine arms, or thy hands, &c.]. (TA.) تَرِبَتْ جَبِينُهُ [May his forehead (for so جبين here means, as it does in some other instances,) cleave to the dust, or earth,] was said by Mohammad in reproving a man, and is said to mean a prayer that the man might be frequent in prostrating himself in prayer. (TA from a trad.) And he said to one of his companions, تَرِبَتْ نَحْرُكَ [May the uppermost part of thy breast cleave to the dust, or earth], and the man was [afterwards] slain a martyr: therefore this is to be understood in its obvious sense.

Accord. to Th, عُرُبًا أَتْرَبًا, in the Kur [lvi. 36], means [Showing love to their husbands;] like, or equal, unto them, or resembling them: which is a good rendering, as there is no begetting or bearing of children, [or rather as the latter word does not apply to females born or generated,] in that case.

(M.) تُرَابٌ and ↓ تُرْبٌ (Lth, T, S, M, A, Msb, K) and ↓ تَرْبٌ (CK [but this I do not find elsewhere]) and ↓ تُرْبَةً (S, A, * K) and ↓ تَرْبَآءُ (Lth, T, S, A, * K) and ↓ تُرَبَآءُ (S, M, K) and ↓ تَوْرَابٌ and ↓ تَوْرَبٌ and ↓ تَيْرَابٌ and ↓ تَيْرَبٌ [and ↓ تَيرَبٌ as will be seen below] and ↓ تَرِيبٌ (S, M, K) and ↓ تِرْيَبٌ, (M, K) accord. to MF ↓ تَرْيَبٌ, which is perhaps a dial. var., and accord. to some ↓ تِرْيِبٌ, and ↓ تَرْيَابٌ, (TA,) signify the same, (Lth, T, S, M, A, K,) and are words of which the meaning is well known: (A, K:) [i. e. Dust: and earth: generally the former; i. e. fine, dry, particles of earth; as when we say, الرِّيحُ تَسُوقُ التُّرَابَ The wind drives along the dust: but we also use the expression تُرَابٌ نَدٍ, meaning moist earth, the explanation, in Lexicons, of the word ثَرًى:] ?ثَرًى is تُرَابٌ; and when it ceases to be moist, it is still تراب, but is not then called ثرى: (Msb voce ثرى:) accord. to Fr, تُرَابٌ is a gen. n., from which is formed neither dual nor pl.: and its rel. n. is ↓ تُرَابِىٌّ: (TA:) [but when it means a kind of dust or earth, as ↓ تُرْبَةٌ also does sometimes, it has a pl.: in this case,] accord. to Lh, (M,) its pl. is أَتْرِبَةٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and تِرْبَانٌ [a pl. of mult.]; (S, M, K) and some add تُرْبَانٌ: (TA:) [and when ↓ تُرْبَةٌ has this, or a similar, meaning, it has for its pl. تُرَبٌ; as in the phrase أَطْيَبُ التُّرَبِ the best of the kinds of earth, occurring in this art. in the A:] but no pl. of any of the other syn. words mentioned above has been heard: (M, K:) AAF says that تراب is the pl. of ترب; [app. meaning that تُرَابٌ is a quasi-pl. n. (which is often called in lexicons a pl.) of تُرْبٌ;] but MF observes that this requires consideration: (TA:) Lth says that ↓ تُرْبٌ and تُرَابٌ are syn.; but when the fem. forms of these words are used, they say, ↓ أَرْضٌ طَيّبَةُ التُّرْبَة meaning Land that is good in respect of the natural constitution of its dust or earth; and ↓ تُرَابَةٌ when meaning A layer, or lamina, of dust or earth, such as is not perceived by the sight, but only by the imagination: (T:) or this last word and ↓ تُرْبَةٌ signify a portion of dust or earth: and الأَرْضِ ↓ تُرْبَةُ signifies the exterior, or external part, of the earth: (M:) and ↓ التَّرْبَآءُ, the earth (S, K) itself. (S.) The Arabs said, التُّرَابُ لَكَ [Dust, or earth, be thy lot]; using the nom. case, although meaning an imprecation, because the word is a simple subst., not an inf. n.: but Lh mentions the phrase التُّرَابَ لِلْأَبْعَدِ [Dust, or earth, be the lot of the remote from good]; saying that the accus. case is used, as though the phrase were an imprecation [of the ordinary kind, in which an inf. n. is used in the accus. case as the absolute complement of its own verb understood]. (M.) And لَهُ التُّرَابُ is a phrase used as meaning (assumed tropical:) [He has, or shall have, or may he have,] disappointment, (Msb in art. عهر,) or, nothing. (A 'Obeyd, Mgh in art. فرش.) لَهُ وَجَنْدَلًا ↓ تُرْبًا is also a form of imprecation, in which substs. in the proper sense of the term are used in the manner of inf. ns., put in the accus. case by reason of a verb unexpressed; as though it were for تَرِبَتْ يَدَاهُ وَجُنْدِلَتْ [May his arms, or his hands, cleave to the dust, or earth, and the stones, by reason of poverty]: and some of the Arabs put the nouns in the nom. case, still using the phrase in the same sense, as though they were in the accus. (M.) One says also, ↓ بِفِيهِ التَّوْرَبُ and ↓ التَّيْرَبُ and ↓ التِّيِرَبُ and ↓ التَّرْبَآءُ and ↓ التَّوْرَابُ [In his mouth is dust, or earth: or may dust, or earth, be in his mouth; i. e. may he die, or be in his grave]. (T.) It is said in a trad. that God created the ↓ تُرْبَة [meaning the dust, or soil, or, accord. to the TA the earth (أَرْض),] on the seventh day of the week; and created upon it the mountains on the first day; and the trees, on the second day. (T.) and one says, ↓ لَأَضْرِبَنَّهُ حَتَّى يَعَضَّ بِالتَّرْبَآءِ, (Lth, T, A,) meaning [I will assuredly beat him so that he shall bite] the dust, or earth. (Lth, T.) and ↓ بَيْنَهُمَا مَا بَيْنَ الجَرْبَآءِ وَالتَّرْبَآءِ, meaning [Between them two is the space that is between] the heaven and the earth.

(K.) b2: خَيْرٌ in the phrase فُلَانٌ خَيْرٌ resembles an epithet [like ↓ خَيِّرٌ, and signifies Good; or possessing good]; (Akh, S;) therefore the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ, (Akh, S, Msb, *) as occurring in the Kur, lv. 70; and they do not [there] mean by it [the comparative or superlative signification of the measure] أَفْعَلُ: (Akh, S:) you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيِّرٌ, (S, A, Msb,) meaning [A good man; or] a man possessing خَيْر [or good]; (Msb;) and رَجُلٌ خَيْرٌ: (S:) and in like manner, ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ خَيِّرَةٌ and خَيْرَةٌ, (S, Msb,) meaning [A good woman; or] a woman excellent in beauty and disposition: (Msb:) or خَيْرٌ and ↓ خَيِّرٌ signify possessing much خَيْر [or good], (K,) applied to a man; (TA;) and in the same sense you say ↓ رَجُلٌ خَيْرَى, and ↓ خُورَى, and ↓ خِيَرى: and the fem. of the first is خَيْرَةٌ; and of the second, ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (K:) and the pl. [of pauc.] (of the first, TA) is أَخْيَارٌ, and [of mult.] خِيَارٌ: (A, Msb, K:) you say also خِيَارُ المَالِ, meaning The excellent of the camels or the like: (Msb, K:) and in like manner you say of men &c.: (TA:) [see also below:] and the fem. is خَيْرَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَيْرَاتٌ: (Msb:) خِيَارٌ is contr. of أَشْرَارٌ, (S, Mgh,) [thus] used as an epithet: (Mgh:) and ↓ خَيْرَةٌ [used as a subst.] signifies anything excellent; and the pl. thereof in this sense, خَيْرَاتٌ, occurs in the Kur, ix. 89: (S:) or خَيْرٌ, (K,) or the fem. خَيْرَةٌ, (Lth,) or each, (K.) signifies excellent in beauty: (Lth, K:) and ↓ خَيِّرٌ and خَيِّرَةٌ signify excellent in righteousness (Lth, K) and religion: (K:) or there is no difference in the opinion of the lexicologists [in general] between خَيْرَةٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَةٌ: (Az:) accord. to Zj, خَيْرَاتٌ and ↓ خَيِّرَاتٌ, both occurring in different readings of the Kur, lv. 70, signify good in dispositions: accord. to Khálid Ibn-Jembeh, خَيْرَةٌ, applied to a woman, signifies generous in race, exalted in rank or quality or reputation, goodly in face, good in disposition, possessing much wealth, who, if she bring forth, brings forth a generous child: (TA:) [↓ خِيَارٌ is also applied as an epithet to a sing. subst., either masc. or fem.:] you say جَمَلٌ خِيَارٌ and نَاقَةٌ خِيَارٌ, meaning A he-camel [that is excellent or] excellent and brisk and so a she-camel. (TA.) See also مُخْتَارٌ, in three places. In the saying لَعَمَرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرُ, the word خَيْر is in the nom. case as an epithet of عَمْر; [so that the phrase lit. means By the good life of thy father;] but properly it should be لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرِ [By the life of thy good father]: and the like is said with شَرّ. (TA.) [See also art. عمر.]

b3: خَيْرٌ is also used to denote superiority: one says, هٰذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ هٰذَا This is better than this: and in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir, ↓ هٰذَا أَخْيَرُ مِنْ هٰذَا, with أ, and in like manner, أَشَّرُ; but the rest of the Arabs drop the أ in each case: (Msb:) you say, مِنْكَ ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ [He is better than thou], and in like manner, أَشَّرُ مِنْكَ; and هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ, and in like manner, شَرٌّ مِنْكَ; and, [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ,] مِنْكَ ↓ خُيَيْرٌ, and in like manner, شُرَيْرٌ مِنْكَ. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) Youalso say, when you mean to express the signification of superiority, فُلَانَةٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a woman is the best of mankind]; but not خَيْرَةُ: [see, however, what will be found cited hereafter from the K,] and فُلَانٌ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ [Such a man is the best of mankind]; but not ↓ أَخْيَرُ [unless in the dial. of the Benoo-'Ámir]: and [it is said that] خَيْرُ when thus used does not assume the dual form nor the pl., because it has the signification of [the measure] أَفْعَلُ: for though a poet uses the dual form, he uses it as a contraction of the dual of خَيِّرٌ, like مَيْتٌ and مَيِّتٌ, and هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ: (S:) [but. this remark in the S is incorrect: for both خَيْر and ↓ أَخْيَر, when used in such phrases as those to which J here refers, have pl. forms of frequent occurrence, and of which examples will be found below; and, as is said by I 'Ak (p. 239), and by many other grammarians, you may say, الزَّيْدَانِ أَفْضَلَا القَوْمِ, and الزَّيْدُونَ أَفْضَلُو القَوْمِ and أَفَاضِلُ القَوْمِ, and also هِنْدُ فُضْلَىالنِّسَآءِ, &c.; and such concordance is found in the Kur, vi. 123; and is even said by many to be more chaste than the mode prescribed by J:] it is said in the K, that you say, ↓ هُوَ أَخْيَرُ مِنْكَ, like خَيْرُ; and when you mean the signification of superiority, you say فُلَانٌ خَيْرَةٌ النَّاسِ, with ة, and فُلَانَةُ خَيْرُهُمْ, without ة: but [SM says,] I know not how this is; for in the S is said what is different from this, and in like manner by Z in several places in the Ksh; and what is most strange is, that the author of the K quotes in the B the passage of J [from the S], and adopts the opinion of the leading authorities [as given in the S]: (TA:) or you say, فُلَانَةُ الخَيْرَةُ مِنَ المَرْأَتَيْنِ [Such a woman is the better of the two women]: and هِىَ الخَيْرَةُ, and ↓ الخِيرَةُ, [so in the TA, but in the CK الخِيَرَةُ,] and ↓ الخِيرَى, and ↓ الخُورَى, [the last being fem. of أَخْيَرُ, originally خُيْرَى, and so, app., the last but one, She is the better, or best:] (K:) and [using the dim. form of خَيْرٌ] you say, أَهْلِهِ ↓ هُوَ خُيَيْرُ [He is the best of his family]: (Ibn-Buzurj, TA:) one says also, to one coming from a journey, خَيْرَ مَا رُدَّ فِى أَهْلٍ

وَمَالٍ, meaning May God make that with which thou comest [back] to be the best of what is brought back by the absent with family and property; (As, Meyd, TA;) or, as some relate it, خَيْرُ, i. e. رَدُّكَ خَيْرُ رَدٍّ [may thy bringing back be the best bringing back]; and فى is used in the sense of مَعَ: (Meyd:) [أَخْيَارٌ is pl. of pauc., and خِيَارٌ pl. of mult., and so app. is خِيرَانٌ, of خَيْرٌ thus used; and ↓ أَخَايِرُ is pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so is أَخْيَرُونَ applied to rational beings: in the TA, أَخَايِرُ is said to be a pl. pl. of أَخْيَرُ, and so خِيرَانٌ; but this is app. a mistake, probably of transcription:] you say رَجُلٌ مِنْ خِيَارِ النَّاسِ and أَخْيَارِهِمْ and ↓ أَخَايِرِهِمْ [A man of the best of mankind]: (A, TA:) and لَكَ خِيَارُ هٰذِهِ الإِبِلِ, and ↓ خِيرَتُهَا, [Thine are, or is, or shall be, the best of these camels,] alike with respect to a sing. and a pl.: (TA:) and إِبِلِهِ ↓ نَحَرَ خِيرَةَ and إِبِلِهِ ↓ خُورَةَ [He slaughtered the best of his camels]: (IAar, TA:) and ↓ هُمُ الأَخْيَرُونَ [They (meaning men) are the better, or best]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.) A2: مَا خَيْرَ for مَا أَخْيَرَ: see 4, in two places.

(TA.) خِيرٌ Generousness; generosity; (S, A, Msb, K;) liberality; munificence. (Msb.) You say, فُلَانٌ ذُو خِيرٍ Such a one is a possessor of generousness, or generosity, &c. (Msb.) And هُوَ مِنْ وَالخِيرِ ↓ أَهْلِ الخَيْرِ [He is of the people of good, or of wealth, &c., and of generosity]. (A.) b2: Eminence; elevated state or condition; nobility. (IAar, K.) b3: Origin.

(TA.) You say, كَانَ ذٰلِكَ خِيرَةً مِنَ اللّٰهِ [That was through God's blessing, prospering, or favour; &c.: or through God's choosing the better thing in the affair]. (A.) خِيَرَةٌ and ↓ خِيرَةٌ (of which the former is the better known, TA) are substs. from اِخْتَارَهُ, (K,) or from اِخْتَارَهُ اللّٰهُ, (S,) both signifying A thing, man, or beast, and things, &c, that one chooses: (TA:) or [a thing, &c.,] chosen, selected, or elected: (Mgh:) as in the saying, مُحَمَّدُ خِيَرَةُ اللّٰهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ and ↓ خِيرَتُهُ [Mohammad is the chosen, or elect, of God, from his creatures]: (S, Mgh: *) or ↓ خِيرَةٌ is a subst. from الاِخْتِيَارٌ, like فِدْيَةٌ from الاِفْتِدَآءُ; and خِيَرَةٌ is syn. with خِيَارٌ and اِخْتِيَارٌ; or is from تَخَيَّرْتُ الشَّىْءَ: or, as some say, خِيرَةٌ and خِيَرَةٌ are syn.: (Msb:) see 8; and see also خِيَارٌ: and ↓ هٰذِهِ خِيرَتِى (Msb, TA) or خِيَرَتِى (TA) means This is what I choose; (Msb, (TA;) and so هٰذَا خيرتى: and هٰؤُلَآءِ خيرتى
