فتن

مَفْتُونٌ ذ [pass. part. n. of 1; signifying Burned: &c.]. ― -b2- It is applied as an epithet to a deenár as meaning Put into the fire in order that one may see what is its [ degree of ] goodness. (S.) ― -b3- It signifies also Smitten by a فِتْنَة [or trial, &c.,] so that his wealth, or property, or his intellect, has departed: and likewise tried, or tested: (S:) or caused to fall into الفِتْنَة; (K, TA;) i. e. trial; and affliction, distress, or hardship; (TA;) as also ↓ مُفْتَنٌ. (K, TA.) And [particularly] Afflicted with madness, insanity, or diabolical possession. (T, K. *) [See also what here follows.] -A2- It is also syn. with فِتْنَةٌ; (T, S, M, K;) and, thus used, it is an inf. n., like مَعْقُولٌ &c. (T, S, M.) See فِتْنَةٌ, former half: and again, in the latter half. Hence, (T, M,) as some explain it, (M,) بِأَيِّكُمُ ا@لْمَفْتُونُ, [in the Kur lxviii. 6,] (T, M,) meaning In which of you is madness: (T:) but some say that the ب is redundant; (M;) thus says AO; (T;) the meaning being أَيُّكُمُ ا@لْمَفْتُونُ [ Which of you is the afflicted with madness ]; (T, M;) but Zj disallowed this: (T:) J says, [in the S,] that the ب is redundant, as in كَفَى بِا@للّٰهِ شَهِيدًا, in the Kur [xiii. last verse, &c.], and [thus in copies of the S, app. a mistake for “ or ”] المفتون means الفِتْنَةُ, and is an inf. n. [&c.]: IB says, [in remarking upon this passage of the S,] if the ب be redundant, المفتون is the man, and is not an inf. n.; but if you make the ب to be not redundant, then المفتون is an inf. n. in the sense of الفُتُون. (TA.) [See also art. ب; p. 142, second col.; and p. 143, third col.]
