دنق

2 دنّق دنق , (S, Mgh, TA,) inf. n. تَدْنِيقٌ, (Mgh, K,) He went to the utmost point [ in his dealings &c.]: (S, K, TA:) he was minute, observant of small things, nice, or scrupulous: (Mgh:) he examined minutely into his dealings and expenses. (So accord. to an explanation of the act. part. n. in the TA.) Hence the saying, لَا تُدَنَّقُوا فَيُدَنَّقَ عَلَيْكُمْ [ Go not ye to the utmost point against others, for in that case the utmost point may be gone to against you ]. (S, TA.) And the saying of El-Hasan, (Mgh, TA,) لَعَنَ ا@للّٰهُ الدَّانَقَ وَ مَنْ دَنَّقَ, (TA,) or وَ مَنْ دَنَّقَ بِهِ, (Mgh,) [ May God curse the دانق and him who has been minute, &c., in his dealings, or and him who has been minute, &c., therewith; ] as though he meant to forbid the considering and examining a paltry or contemptible thing: (TA:) or, as some relate it, وَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ الدَّانَقَ [ and the first who innovated the دانَق], meaning El-Hajjáj. (Mgh.) ― -b2- [Hence,] تَدْنِيقٌ, metonymically, signifies (tropical:) The being niggardly, stingy, or avaricious. (Az, TA.) ― -b3- Also The continuing to look at a thing; (S, K;) as also تَرْنِيقٌ: [or rather each has this signification elliptically; for] you say, دنّق اـِلَيْهِ النَّظَرَ and رنّق [meaning He continued looking at it ]. (S.) [See رَنَّقَ.] And in like manner, The looking weakly. (S, TA.) And دنّق بَصَرَهُ He looked hard, and sharply, or intently. (JK.) ― -b4- Also (tropical:) The approaching of the sun to setting. (S, K, TA.) You say, دنّقت الشَّمْسُ (tropical:) The sun became near to setting. (JK, TA. [See also رنّقت.]) ― -b5- And دنّق (tropical:) He (a man) died: (JK, TA:) or (tropical:) he was near to dying; inf. n. as above. (TA.) ― -b6- And دنّقت عَيْنُهُ, (JK, K, TA, [accord. to the CK دَنَقَتْ, which is wrong,]) inf. n. تَدْنِيقٌ, (S, TA,) (tropical:) His eye sank, or became depressed, in his head: (JK, S, K, TA:) or, accord. to Az, the more correct explanation is, the ball, or globe, of his eye became prominent, and apparent. (TA.) ― -b7- And دنّق وَجْهُهُ, (Lth, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, دَنَقَ,]) inf. n. تَدْنِيقٌ, (Lth, TA,) His face exhibited emaciation, arising from fatigue or disease. (Lth, K, TA.)
