سدل

1 سَدَلَهُ ذ , aor. سَدُلَ , (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) and سَدِلَ , (M, K,) inf. n. سَدْلٌ, (S, M, Mgh, Msb,) He let it loose, let it down, lowered it, or let it fall; (S, M, K;) namely, his garment, (S, M,) and hair, (Fr, M, K,) and a veil, or curtain; (M;) and سَدَنَهُ signifies the same; (Fr, TA;) as also ↓ اسدلهُ; (M, K;) or this latter is a mistake; (Mgh; [but this the author asserts because, he says, he had searched through books without finding it except in the “ Nahj-el-Balághah; ”]) not allowable; (Msb;) and the former signifies he let it down, or let it fall, namely, the garment, without drawing together its two sides: (Mgh, Msb:) or, as some say, he threw it upon his head, and let it loose, let it down, or let it fall, upon his shoulders: (Mgh:) and he let it down, or let it fall, namely, hair, not مَعْقُوف [i. e. made recurvate at the extremities ], nor tied in knots: (Lth, TA:) and one says also, يَزْدُلُ ثَوْبَهُ, changing the س into ز. (Sb, M.) The سَدْل that is forbidden in prayer is The letting down one's garment without drawing together its two sides: or the enveloping oneself with his garment, and putting his arms within, and bowing the head and body, and prostrating oneself, in that state; as the Jews used to do; and this applies uniformly to the shirt and other garments: or the putting the middle of the اـِزَار [or waist-wrapper ] upon the head, and letting fall its two ends upon one's right and left, without making it to be upon his two shoulder-blades. (TA.) سَدَلَ عِمَامَتَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ is said in a trad. [as meaning He made the end of his turban to hang down between his two shoulder-blades ]. (Mgh.) And one says also, شَعَرَهُ عَلَى ↓ سدّل عَاتِقَيْهِ وَعُنُقِهِ, [meaning He let his hair fall down abundant and long upon his shoulders and his neck, ] inf. n. تَسْدِيلٌ. (ISh, TA. [See its pass. part. n., voce مُنْسَدِلٌ.]) ― -b2- Also, aor. سَدِلَ , (M, K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He slit it, or rent it; namely, his garment. (M, K.) ― -b3- And سَدَلَ فِى البِلَادِ, (O, K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He went away into the countries, or provinces. (O, K.)
