(TA.) You say, بَغَاهُ بِشَرٍّ [ He sought him with an evil purpose; or sought to do him evil ]. (S and K in art. عقب.) ― -b2- And بَغَاهُ He sought, &c., a thing for him; like بَغَى لَهُ. (Lh, Mgh, * K. *) You say, بَغَاهُ الشَّىْءَ He sought, &c., the thing for him; (S, K;) as also الشَّىْءَ ↓ ابغاهُ: (K:) thus you say, اِبْغِنِى كَذَا or كذا ↓ أَبْغِنِى and اِبْغَ لِى كذا Seek thou for me such a thing; (TA;) and ضَالَّتِى ↓ أَبْغِنِى Seek thou for me my stray-beast: (Mgh:) or الشَّىءَ ↓ ابغاهُ signifies He aided, or assisted, him to seek the thing: (Ks, K:) or كَذَا ↓ أَبْغِنِى signifies Seek thou for me such a thing; and also Aid thou me to seek such a thing. (JK.) It is said in the Kur [ix. 47], يَبْغُونَكُمُ الفِتْنَةَ They seek, or desire, for you discord, or dissension; or they seeking, &c.: and in the same [iii. 94], تَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا Ye seek, or desire, for it, namely, the way [of God], crookedness; or ye seeking, &c.: the first objective complement of the verb being in the accus. case because of the suppression of the preposition ل. (TA.) ― -b3- [Hence, app.,] بَغَانِى دَاآءً It procured to me disease; it caused disease to befall me. (Ham p. 794.) And اـِنَّهُ لَذُو بُغَايَةٍ Verily he is one who makes much gain: (JK, K:) but in the M, ذُو بُغَايَةٍ لِلْكَسْبِ, meaning a seeker of gain. (TA.) And مَابُغِىَ لَهُ Good was not appointed to betide him. (TA.) ― -b4- بَغَى عَلَى أَخِيهِ, inf. n. بَغْىٌ, He envied his brother; he wished that a blessing, or cause of happiness, or an excellence, might become transferred from his brother to himself: so says Lh, who holds this to be the primary signification of the verb. (TA.) It is said in a prov., البَغْىُ عِقَالُ النَّصْرِ [ Envy is the shackle of aid from God against an enemy or a wrongdoer]. (TA.) ― -b5- Hence, (Lh, TA,) بَغْىٌ signifies The acting wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically; (Lh, S, TA;) because the envier so acts towards the envied; his endeavour being to cause, by guile, the blessing of God upon him to depart from him: (Lh, TA:) or the seeking, or endeavouring, to act corruptly, wrongly, or unjustly: (Az, TA:) or the exceeding the due bounds, or just limits, in any way: (S:) accord. to Er-Rághib, it is of two kinds: one of these is approved, and this is the passing beyond the bounds of equity to exercise beneficence, and beyond the bounds of obligatory duties to do what is not obligatory: the other is disapproved, and this is the passing beyond the bounds of that which is true, or right, to do that which is false, or wrong, or to do acts of a doubtful nature: but in most instances it is that which is disapprove. (TA.) You say, بَغَى عَلَيْهِ, (S, K,) and بغى عَلَى النَّاسِ, (Az, Msb,) aor. بَغِىَ , (K,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (Msb, K,) He exalted himself against him, or above him; overpowered, or oppressed, him; (Fr, S, K;) acted wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically, towards him; and deviated from the right way: (K:) and he acted wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically, towards men, or the people, (Az, Msb,) and sought to annoy them, or hurt them. (Az, TA.) Lh mentions, on the authority of Ks, the saying, مَا لِى وَلِلْبَغِ بَعْضِكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ [ What have I to do with wrongful conduct, the wrongful conduct of one of you towards another? ], for وَلِلْبَغْىِ; ISd thinks, because of the difficulty found in pronouncing the kesreh after the ى. (TA.) بَغَى also signifies He occupied himself with corrupt, wrong, or unjust, conduct: [accord. to Fei,] from the same verb [in a sense to be mentioned below,] said of a wound. (Msb.) Also, aor. بَغِىَ , (TA,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (Az, TA,) He magnified himself; or behaved proudly, haughtily, or insolently: (Az, TA:) because he who does so passes beyond the bounds of his proper station to a station that does not belong to him. (TA.) ― -b6- And [hence,] بَغَى فِى مِشيَتِهِ, (K,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (TA,) He [app. a horse, and perhaps a man also,] was proud, or self-conceited, and quick, in his gait: (K:) or بَغْىٌ in a horse, (S, TA,) or in the running of a horse, (JK, TA,) is the being proud, or self-conceited, with exceeding briskness or liveliness or sprightliness. (JK, S, TA.) ― -b7- And بَغَتِ السَّمَاآءُ, (S, K,) inf. n. بَغْىٌ, (TA,) The sky rained vehemently: (A'Obeyd, S, K:) or exceeded, in rain, the limit of what was wanted. (Er-Rághib, TA.) And بَغَى الوَادِى The valley flowed with water reaching to a place to which it had not reached before. (S, TA.) ― -b8- بَغَتْ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) said of a woman, (Th, IKh, S, Msb, and so in some copies of the K,) or of a female slave, (so in other copies of the K,) but it is not restricted to the latter, (TA,) aor. بَغِىَ , (JK, Msb,) inf. n. بِغَاآءٌ, (IKh, JK, S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) or بَغْىٌ, (ISd, K,) [but the former, only, is [...]
