(Id. p. 105.) [See also عَزْمٌ and عَزِيمَةٌ, below.] وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْمًا, in the Kur [xx. 114], means [ And we found him not to have ] a quality of deciding an affair. (S.) [قَدْ أَحْزِمُ لَوْ أَعْزِمُ, a prov.: see expl. in art. حزم.] ― -b2- One says also, عَزَمَ الأَمْرُ, meaning عُزِمَ عَلَيْهِ: (K, TA:) and hence, in the Kur [xlvii. 23], فَاـِذَا عَزَمَ الأَمْرُ [ And when the affair is determined upon ]: or the meaning may be, فَاـِذَا عَزَمَ أَرْبَابُ الأَمْرِ [ and when the disposers of the affair determine upon it]: but accord. to Zj, the meaning is, and when the affair is serious, or earnest, and the command to engage in fight becomes obligatory. (TA.) ― -b3- عَزَمَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ means He conjured the man: (S, * K, TA:) or he commanded him, or enjoined him, earnestly: لَيَفْعَلَنَّ كَذَا [ that he should surely do such a thing ]: (TA:) or عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ means I make thy informing me to be a decided thing in which there shall be no exception: and one says also, عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ اـِلَّا فَعَلْتَ and لَمَّا فَعَلْتَ [virtually meaning I conjure thee to do such a thing]; as though one said, By Allah, I demand not of thee [ aught ] save [ thy doing ] this: so says Mtr, referring to “ the Book ” of Sb. (Har pp. 21 and 22. [But عَزَمَ is there, inadvertently, put for اـِلَّا.]) ― -b4- And one says, عَزَمَ الرَّاقِى The charmer recited عَزَائِم, meaning charms, or spells, [for the cure of a disease, &c.;] (K, TA;) as though he conjured the disease [&c.]: and in like manner, عَزَمَ الحَوَّاآءُ [ The serpent-charmer recited charms, or spells, ] is said when he draws forth the serpent; as though he conjured it. (TA.) [See an ex. voce دَادَ, in art. دود. ― -b5- Hence, عَزَمَ is used in the present day as meaning He invited to an entertainment. ― -b6- And Freytag mentions its occurring often in the book entitled بغية المستفيد فى مدينة زبيد as signifying He went, or tended, to, or towards, (اـِلَى,) some place: but this signification is probably post-classical: it is correctly expressed by 8, q. v.]
