مَلَأٌ ذ An assembly, (IAar, S, K,) absolutely, (TA,) [whether of nobles or others]: pl. أَمْلَاآءٌ. (IAar.) ― -b2- Nobles; chiefs; princes; syn. أَشْرَافٌ and عِلْيَةٌ; (K;) principal persons; persons whose opinion is respected. (TA.)

See سَمعَهُ, for other explanations. ― -b3- A people of comely appearance, figure, attire, or adornment, united for some purpose or design; expl. by قَوْمٌ ذو الشَّارَةِ والتَّجَمُّعِ لِلْاـِرَادَةِ: (Abu-l-Hasan, K:) [but this is wrong, see Beyd, ii. 247.] Thus it is of a different class from رَهَطٌ, though, like this word, a quasi-pl. n. It is an epithet in which the quality of a substantive predominates. (Abu-l-Hasan.) ― -b4- (tropical:) Consultation. (K.) [You say,] مَا كَانَ هٰذَا الأَمْرُ عَنْ مَلَاـٍ مِنَّا (tropical:) This thing was not the result of a consultation and consent on our part: [and] أَكَانَ هٰذَا عَنْ مَلَاـٍ مِنْكُمْ (tropical:) Was this the result of a consultation of your nobles, and of your assembly? said by 'Omar when he was stabbed: asserted to be tropical in this sense by Z and others. (TA.) تَحَدَّثُوا مَلَأً They conversed, consulting together. (S.) ― -b5- Opinion. (K.) [See a supposed example below.] ― -b6- Disposition; nature; manners; (S, K;) a nature rich in needful qualities: (T:) pl. أَمْلَاآءٌ. (S.) [You say,] مَا أَحْسَنَ مَلَأَ بَنِى فُلَانٍ How good are the dispositions, or manners, and conversation, of the sons of such a one! (S.) ElJuhanee says, تَنَادَوْا يَالَ بُهْثَةَ اـِذْ رَأَوْنَا فَقُلْنَا أَحْسِنِى مَلَأً جُهَيْنَا (S) [ They called out, one to another, O Buhtheh! come to our aid! when they saw us: and we said, ] Be of good disposition, or manners, O Juheyneh! or, accord. to some, Be of good opinion, O Juheyneh! (see above:) or, as some say, Aid well, O Juheyneh! taking ملأ in the sense of مُمَالَأَةً: [see 3]. (TA.) ― -b7- أَحْسِنُوا أَمْلَاآءَ كُمْ Amend your manners; or have good manners. From a trad. (S, K.) ― -b8- Also مَلَأٌ A coveting. (K.)
