بل

بِلٌّ بل Allowable, or lawful; i. e., to be taken, or let alone, or done, or made use of, or possessed: (T, S, M, K:) so in the dial. of Himyer: (T, S. M:) or a remedy; (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K;) from the phrase بَلَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ [q. v.]: (A' Obeyd, T, S, M:) or it is an imitative sequent to حِلٌّ, (M, K,) as some say: (M:) so As thought until he heard that it was said to be of the dial. of Himyer in the first of the senses explained above: (S, M:) A'Obeyd and ISk say that it may not be so because it is conjoined with حِلٌّ by وَ: (T:) and A'Obeyd says, We have seldom found an imitative sequent conjoined by و. (TA.) Hence the phrase, هُوَ لَكَ حِلٌّ وَبِلٌّ It is to thee lawful and allowable: or lawful and a remedy. (M, K. *) And hence the saying of El-'Abbás the son of 'Abd-El-Muttalib, respecting [the well of] Zemzem, هِىَ لِشَارِبٍ حِلٌّ وَ بِلٌّ It is to a drinker lawful &c. (T, S, M.)
