رقد

1 رَقَدَ ذ , (S, Msb,) aor. رَقُدَ , inf.n. رُقَادٌ and رُقُودٌ (JK, S, A, Msb, K) and رَقْدٌ (S, Msb, K) and perhaps also مَرْقَدٌ [q. v.], (TA,) He slept, (JK, S, A, Msb, K,) accord. to some, specially, (Msb, K,) by night; (JK, Msb, K) but it correctly means, whether by night or by day; as is shown by verse 17 of ch. xviii. of the Kur-án: (Msb:) the assertion that it means, specially, by night, is weak: (TA:) accord. to Lth, رُقُودٌ is by night; and رُقَادٌ, by day: but the Arabs used both of these words as meaning the sleeping by night and by day. (T, TA.) You say, مَابِى رُقُودٌ and رُقادٌ [ There is not in me any sleep ]. (A.) ― -b2- [Hence,] رَقَدَ عَنِ الأَمْرِ (tropical:) He abstained, or held back, from the affair. (Msb, TA.) And رَقَدَ عَنْ ضَيْفِهِ (tropical:) [ He neglected his guest; ] he did not pay attention, or frequent attention, to his guest. (A, TA.) And رَقَدَ الثَّوْبُ, inf. n. رَقْدٌ and رُقَادٌ, (TA,) (tropical:) The garment became old and worn out, and no longer of use; (A, * TA;) like نَامَ. (A.) And رَقَدَتِ السُّوقُ (tropical:) The market became stagnant, or dull, with respect to traffic; like نَامَت. (Th, TA.) And رَقَدَ الحَرُّ (tropical:) The heat remitted, or subsided. (TA. [See also رَكَدَ.])
