(S.) It is said in a trad., أَجِلُّوا ا@للّٰهَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ, meaning [ Magnify ye God, and He will forgive you: or] say ye, يَا ذَا الجَلَالِ وَ الاـِكْرَامِ [ O Thou who art possessed of greatness, or majesty, and bounty ], and believe in his greatness, or majesty: it is also recited otherwise, with ح; (TA in the present art.;) i. e. أَحِلُّوا ا@للّٰهَ, meaning “Resign yourselves to God; ” or “ quit ye the danger and straitness of belief in a plurality of Gods, to avail yourselves of the freedom of El-Islám; ” (TA in art. حل;) but the former recital is confirmed by another trad., namely, أَلِظُّوا بِيَاذَا الجَلَالِ وَ الاـِكْرَامِ [see art. لظ]. (TA in the present art.) [Hence,] فَعَلْتُ مِنْ اـِجْلَالِكَ, and من أَجْلِ اـِجْلَالِكَ: see جَلَلٌ. ― -b3- He gave him much. (S.)

[You say, مَا أَجَلَّهُ How great, &c., is he, or it! ] -A3- اجلّ He was, or became, strong: ― -b2- and He was, or became, weak: thus bearing two contr. significations. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.)
