عجس

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

5 تَعَجَّسَ see 1, in six places. ― -b2- تعجّسهُ also signifies He reckoned, or esteemed, his judgment, or opinion, weak. (Sh, O, * TA.) ― -b3- And He upbraided him, or reproached him, for a thing, or an affair, (IDrd, K, TA,) which he had commanded him to do. (IDrd, TA.) ― -b4- And تعجّس أَمْرَهُ He searched repeatedly after the knowledge of his (i. e. another's S, O) affair, or case. (S, O, K.) Hence, in a trad., فَيَتَجَّسُكُمْ فِى قُرَيْشٍ And he seeks repeatedly after you among Kureysh. (TA.) ― -b5- And تعجّست الأَرْضَ غُيُوثٌ Rains fell, one after another, upon the earth, or land, (S, O, K, TA,) and bore heavily upon it. (TA.) -A2- تعجّس الرَّجُلُ The man went forth in a last portion, before daybreak, (↓ بِعِجْسَةٍ, O, or ↓ بِعُجْسَةٍ, K, [but see what follows,]) of the night: (O, K:) El-Marrár Ibn-Sa'eed El-Fak'asee says, describing his travelling-companions, وَاـِذَا هُمُ ا@رْتَحَلُوا بِلَيْلٍ حَابِسٍ ↓ المُتَعَجِّسِ ↓ أُخْرَى النُّجُومِ بِعَجْسَةِ [ And when they departed in an impeding night, in the last period of the appearance of the stars, in a last portion of the night of him who goes forth at that time ]. (O: in which بعجسة is thus written, with fet-h and damm, and with مَعًا above them.) [It is also said in the O (immediately after this verse), and likewise in the K and TA (in neither of which is the verse cited), in all of them probably from one and the same source, that ↓ المُتَعَجِّسُ means المُتَشَمْخِرُ; and it is added in the TA that this has been mentioned in its place: but it is not mentioned in its proper art. in the O nor in the K nor in the TA; and it is evidently a mistranscription, for المُسْتَحِرُ, part. n. of اِسْتَحَرَ (q. v. voce أَسْحَرَ), and therefore I have rendered المُتَعَجِّس as above.]
