Root entry · 1 derived lemma

4 اصلحهُ ذ , (A, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. اـِصْلَاحٌ, (S, A,) and quasi-inf. n. صَلَاحٌ, (L in art. لقح,) said of a man, (A, Msb,) and of God, (TA,) [and of a thing,] He, and it, made, or rendered, it, or him, good, incorrupt, right, just, righteous, virtuous, or honest; constituted it, disposed it, arranged it, or qualified it, well, rightly, or properly; rectified, corrected, redressed, or reformed, it; put it into a good, incorrupt, sound, right, or proper, state; or restored it to such a state; put it to rights, or in a state of order; set it right, set it in order, ordered it, managed it well, cultured it; adjusted, dressed, or trimmed, it; prepared it properly for use; repaired, mended, amended, or improved, it; made it, or him, to thrive; contr. of أَفْسَدَهُ. (S, * K. [And so by implication in the Mgh &c.]) One says, أَصْلَحْتُ القِدْرَ بِالتَّابَلِ [ I made good, qualified properly, or seasoned, ( the contents of ) the cooking-pot with the seeds that are used in cooking ]. (Msb in art. تبل.) And أَصْلَحْتُ السِّقَاآءَ بِالرُّبِّ [ I seasoned the skin with rob, or inspissated juice ]. (S in art. رب.) And أَصْلَحْتُ بَيْنَ القَوْمِ [in which الأَمْرَ is understood, so that the meaning is I rectified, or reformed, or amended, the circumstances subsisting between the people, or party; or] I made peace, or I effected a rectification of affairs, an agreement, a harmony, a reconciliation, an accomodation, or an adjustment; [or I adjusted the affair; ] between the people, or party. (Msb.) And سَعَى فِى اـِصْلاَحِ ذَاتِ البَيْنِ [ He laboured in rectifying, or improving, the bad, or the good, state of circumstances, or the disunion or union, subsisting between people ]. (A.) One says also, اصلح الدَّابَّةَ, (TA,) and اصلح اـِلَى الدَّابَّةِ, (T, A, Mgh, TA,) the latter because اصلح implies the meaning of أَحْسَنَ, (Mgh,) (tropical:) He acted well to the beast, (T, A, TA,) and put it into a good, or right, or proper, state, or took care of it, or paid frequent attention to it. (A, TA.) And اصلح اـِلَيْهِ (tropical:) He acted well to him, did good to him, or benefited him. (K, TA.) And اصلح [alone] (assumed tropical:) He did that which was good, right, or just. (Msb.)
