وَقَعَ فِى وَادِى تُضُلِّلَ ذ , (Ks, S, O, K, *) like تُخُيِّبَ and تُهُلِّكَ, all imperfectly decl., (S, O,) and تُضَلِّلَ, (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K,) and تَضَلِّلَ, with two fet-hahs, and تِضِلِّلِ, with two kesrehs, (Ibn- 'Abbád, O, TA,) meaning البَاطِل [i. e. (assumed tropical:) He fell into that which was vain, unreal, nought, futile, or the like, and consequently, into disappointment ]: (Ibn-'Abbád, S, O, K, TA:) or, accord. to the A, وَقَعُوا فى وادى تضلّل means (tropical:) They perished. (TA.)

[See also the next paragraph.]) [Hence,] فِتْنَةٌ مُضِلَّةٌ means [ A trial, or sedition, or discord, &c.,] that causes men to go astray, or to deviate from that which is right. (TA.) And [hence also,] المُضِلُّ means The سَرَاب [or mirage ]. (TA.)

مَضَلَّةٌ ذ a subst. like مَجْبَنَةٌ and مَبْخَلَةٌ [i. e., as such, signifying A cause of erring, straying, going astray, or deviating from the right way or course or from that which is right, &c.]: (TA:) [and used in the manner of an epithet:] one says أَرْضٌ مَضَلَّةٌ A land that causes one to err, &c.: (TA:) or, as also ↓ مَضِلَّةٌ, (S, O, Msb, K, TA, [in the CK مِضَلَّةٌ,]) and ↓ ضُلَضِلَةٌ, (O, K,) a land in which one errs, or strays, from the [ right ] way; (S, O, Msb, K; *) in which one does not find the right way: and خَرْقٌ مضلّةٌ [ A desert, or farextending desert, &c., in which one errs, &c.]: it is used alike as masc. and fem. and pl.: but one says also أَرَضُونَ مضلّاتٌ. (TA.)

مَضِلَّةٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph.

مُضَلَّلٌ ذ : see ضِلِّيلٌ, in two places.

مُتَضَالٌّ ذ [part. n. of 6, q. v.]. One says, اـِنَّكَ تَهْدِى الضَّالَّ وَلَا تَهْدِى المُتَضَالَّ [ Verily thou wilt direct aright the erring, &c., but thou wilt not direct aright him who feigns himself to be erring, &c.]. (S, O.)

1 ضَلَعَ ذ , aor. ضَلَعَ , (S, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. ضَلْعٌ, (S, O, Msb,) It, or (assumed tropical:) he, inclined, or declined: (S, O, K:) it, or (assumed tropical:) he, declined, or deviated, from that which was right, or true: (S, O, Msb, K:) (assumed tropical:) he acted wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically. (S, * O, * K.) You say, ضَلَعَ عَنْهُ (tropical:) He deviated, or turned away, from him, or it; or he did so, acting wrongfully, &c.: and ضَلَعَ عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) he acted wrongfully, &c., against him. (TA.) And ضَلْعُكَ مَعَ فُلَانٍ (S, O, Msb, * K *) (assumed tropical:) Thy inclining, (S, O, Msb, K,) and thy love, or desire, (S, O,) is with such a one [i. e. in unison with that of such a one ]. (S, O, Msb, * K: * in the Msb and K, مَعَهُ is put in the place of مَعَ فُلَانٍ.) And لَا تَنْقُشِ الشَّوْكَةَ بِالشَّوْكَةِ فَاـِنَّ ضَلْعَهَا مَعَهَا, (S, O, K,) or بِمِثْلِهَا [in the place of بالشوكة], (Meyd,) [lit. Extract not thou the thorn by means of the thorn, or by means of the like of it, for its inclination is with it, ] meaning, demand not aid, in the case of thy want, of him who is more benevolent to the person from whom the object of want is sought than he is to thee: (Meyd:) a prov.: (S, Meyd, O:) applied to the man who contends in an altercation with another, and says, “ Appoint thou between me and thee such a one; ” pointing to a man who loves what he [i. e. the opponent of the speaker] loves: (S, O, K:) the author of the K adds, it is said that it should by rule be ضَلَعَكَ, for they say ضَلِعَ مَعَ فُلَانٍ, like فَرِحَ, [as though meaning he inclined with such a one, ] but they have contracted it; which is wonderful, in consideration with his having mentioned shortly before, ضَلَعَ, like مَنَعَ, as signifying مَالَ. (TA.) One says also, خَاصَمْتُ فُلَانًا فَكَانَ ضَلْعُكَ عَلَىَّ i. e. (assumed tropical:) [ I contended in an altercation with such a one and ] thy inclining [ was against me ]. (S, O.) ― -b2- ضَلِعَ, aor. ضَلَعَ , (Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. ضَلَعٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) means It (a sword, K, or a thing, Msb) was, or became, crooked, or curved: (Mgh, Msb, K:) and ↓ تضلّع may mean the same: (Ham p. 80:) a poet says, (namely, Mohammad Ibn-'Abd-Allah El-Azdee, TA,) وَقَدْ يَحْمِلُ السَّيْفَ المُجَرَّبَ رَبُّهُ عَلَى ضَلَعٍ فِى مَتْنِهِ وَهْوَ قَاطِعُ [ And verily, or sometimes, or often, its owner bears the tried sword, notwithstanding crookedness in its broad side, it being sharp ]: (S, O:) and (K) ضَلَعٌ signifies the being crooked, or curved, by nature; (S, O, K;) as also ضَلْعٌ; whence the saying, لَأُقِيمَنَّ ضَلَعَكَ and ضَلْعَكَ [ I will assuredly straighten thy natural crookedness ]: (K:) thus in the copies of the K; but this is a mistake, occasioned by the author's seeing in the T and M لَأُقِيمَنَّ ضَلَعَكَ and صَلَعَكَ meaning عَوَجَكَ, and his imagining both these nouns to be with ض and to differ in the manner stated above: (TA:) you say, ضَلِعَ, aor. ضَلَعَ , inf. n. ضَلَعٌ i. e. he, or it, was, or became, crooked, or curved, by nature: (S, O:) or ضَلَعٌ in the camel is like غَمْزٌ in horses or the like, [meaning the limping, or halting, or having a slight lameness, in the hind leg, ] and the verb is ضَلِعَ; and the epithet [or part. n.] is ↓ ضَلِعٌ: (K:) or this is rather the explanation of ضَلْعٌ, with ظ; (TA;) [or as Mtr says,] ضَلْع as meaning what resembles عَرَجٌ [or natural lameness] is correctly ظَلْع: (Mgh:) but when it (i. e. the crookedness, TA) is not natural, one says, ضَلَعَ, like مَنَعَ, (K, TA,) [but this seems rather to relate to the meaning of “ limping, ” agreeably with what I have cited above from the Mgh,] and the inf. n. is ضَلْعٌ: (TA:) and the epithet [or part. n.] is ↓ ضَالِعٌ. (K.) -A2- ضَلُعَ, [aor. ضَلُعَ ,] inf. n. ضَلَاعَةٌ, He (a man, S, O, Msb, [and app. also a horse and the like, see its part. n. ضَلِيعٌ,]) was, or became, strong, or powerful; (S, O, Msb, K;) and strong, hard, or firm, in the أَضْلَاع [or ribs ]. (S, O, K. [The latter is said in Har p. 6 to be the primary meaning; and the former, metaphorical.]) -A3- ضَلَعَ as syn. with تَضَلَّعَ: see the latter. -A4- ضَلَعَ فُلَانًا He struck such a one upon his ضِلَع [or rib ].

2 ضَلَّعَ see 4, in two places. ― -b2- تَضْلِيعُ الأَعْمَالِ is said by some to mean (assumed tropical:) The making deeds to deviate from the right, or direct, way or course: and by some to mean (assumed tropical:) the making them heavy, or burdensome. (Har p. 77.) ― -b3- تَضْلِيعُ الثَّوْبِ signifies The figuring the garment, or piece of cloth, with the form of أَضْلَاع [or ribs ]. (S, O, K.) [See also the pass. part. n., below.]

4 اضلعهُ ذ , (K,) inf. n. اـِضْلَاعٌ, (S, O,) It, or he, made it, or (assumed tropical:) him, to incline, or decline; (S, O, K;) [and so ↓ ضلّعهُ; for] الاـِضْلَاعُ and التَّضْلِيعُ signify الاـِمَالَةُ. (Har p. 77.) ― -b2- [And It, or he, made it, or him, to be crooked, or curved; and so ↓ ضلّعهُ; for] الاـِضْلَاعُ and التَّضْلِيعُ signify also التَّعْوِيجُ. (Har ubi suprà.) ― -b3- [Hence,] one says also, أَضْلَعَتْهُ الخُطُوبُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) [ Affairs, or great or grievous affairs, ] burdened him [as though making him to incline, or curving him]. (TA.) -A2- See also 8.

5 تضلّع ذ : see 1, in the middle of the paragraph. ― -b2- [Also,] (S, O, K,) and ↓ ضَلَعَ, like مَنَعَ, (K,) said of a man, (S, O,) He became filled, (S, O, K,) or what was between his أَضْلَاع [or ribs ] became filled, (TA,) with food, (S, O, K,) or drink: (S, O:) or with drink so that the water reached his أَضْلَاع, (K, TA,) and they became swollen out in consequence thereof: (TA in explanation of the former verb:) and the former verb is also expl. as meaning he drank much, so that his side and his ribs became stretched. (TA.) And تضلّع مِنَ الطَّعَامِ He became filled with the food; as though it filled his ribs. (Msb.)

8 الاِضْطِلَاعُ ذ is from الضَّلَاعَةُ [inf. n. of ضَلُعَ] meaning “ the being strong, or powerful; ” (ISk, S, O, and Har p. 391;) الاِضْطِلَاعُ بِالشَّىْءِ signifying The raising the thing upon one's back, and rising with it, and having strength, or power, sufficient for it. (Har ibid.) And you say, اضطلع بِحَمْلِهِ, meaning He had strength, or power, to bear it, or carry it. (Mgh, and Har p. 645.) [See also the part. n., below.] And بِالأَمْرِ ↓ أَضْلَعَ (assumed tropical:) He had strength, or power, sufficient for the affair; as though his ribs had strength to bear it. (Msb.)

ضَلَعٌ ذ The weight, or burden, of debt, that bends the bearer thereof. (IAth, O, K.) And Strength, or power; (As, S, O, Msb, K;) a subst. in this sense, from ضَلُعَ; (Msb;) and the bearing, or endurance of that which is heavy, or burdensome. (As, S, O, K.) ― -b2- Also inf. n. of ضَلِعَ [q. v.]. (Mgh, Msb, K.)

ضَلِعٌ ذ Crooked, or curved, by nature. (S, O, TA.) And applied to a spear as meaning Crooked, or curved; not straightened: (TA:) or, so applied, inclining, or bending: (Ham p. 80:) and ↓ ضَلِيعٌ and ↓ ضَالِعٌ, so applied, [likewise] mean crooked, or curved. (TA.) ― -b2- See also 1, in the last quarter of the paragraph.

ضِلَعٌ ذ and ↓ ضِلْعٌ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) the former of the dial. of El-Hijáz and the latter of the dial. of Temeem, (Msb, TA,) and ↓ ضَلْعٌ, which is the only form, or almost the only one, that is used by the vulgar, is said by MF to be mentioned by some one or more of the commentators, but not known in the lexicons, (TA;) [ A rib; ] a certain appertenance of an animal, (Msb,) well known; (K;) the curved thing of the side; (TA;) a single bone of the bones of the side: (Mgh, Msb:) of the fem. gender, (Msb, K, TA,) accord. to common repute; or, as some say, masc.; or, accord. to some, whose opinion in this case is preferred by Ibn-Málik and others, of both genders: (TA:) pl.

(O, K, TA.) ― -b2- Also (assumed tropical:) A piece of stick or wood; syn. عُودٌ; [erroneously supposed by Golius and Freytag to mean here the musical instrument thus called;] (IAar, O, K;) so in a saying of the Prophet to a woman, respecting a blood-stain on a garment, حُتِّيهِ بِضِلَعٍ (assumed tropical:) [ Scrape thou it off with a piece of stick ]: (IAar, O:) or (assumed tropical:) such as is wide and curved; as being likened to the ضِلَع (O, K) of an animal.

(TA.)

(TA.) And ضَلِيعُ الفَمِ A man large in the mouth: (Kt, O, K:) or wide therein: (A 'Obeyd, O, K:) expl. in the former sense, and in the latter, as applied to the Prophet; (O, TA;) width of the mouth, (Kt, O, K, TA,) and largeness thereof, (TA,) being commended by the Arabs, and smallness thereof being discommended by them; (Kt, O, K, TA;) whereas the Persians, or foreigners, (العَجَم,) commend smallness thereof: (TA:) or having large teeth, closely and regularly set together; (Sh, O, K;) and thus also expl., by Sh, as applied to the Prophet: (O, TA:) and ضَلِيعُ الثًّنَايَا a man whose central incisors are thick.

(TA.)

مُضْطَلِعٌ ذ is from الضَّلَاعَةُ [inf. n. of ضَلُعَ]: so in the saying, فُلَانٌ مُضْطَلِعٌ بِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ i. e. Such a one is possessed of strength, or power, sufficient for this affair: so says ISk: and he adds that one should not say مُطَّلِعٌ: Aboo-Nasr Ahmad Ibn- Hátim says, one says هُوَ مُضْطَلِعٌ بِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ and مُطَّلِعٌ له [also]; الاِضْطِلَاعُ being from الضَّلَاعَةُ meaning القُوَّةُ; and الاِطِّلَاعُ being from العُلُوُّ, from the saying اِطَّلَعْتُ الثَّنِيَّةَ meaning عَلَوْتُهَا [I ascended upon the mountain, or mountain-road, termed ثَنِيَّة]; i. e. he is one who has ascendancy with respect to this affair, who is master of it: (S, O, TA:) Lth expressly allows مُطَّلِعٌ for مُضْطَلِعٌ by the incorporation of the ض into the [letter that is originally] ت, so that the two together become ط with teshdeed. (TA.) And لِهٰذَا الأَمْرِ ↓ هُوَ مُضْلِعٌ means the same as مُضْطَلِعٌ as first expl. above, i. e. He is possessed of strength, or power, sufficient for this affair. (O, K. [In both, in this instance, لِهٰذَا, not بِهٰذَا.]) In the phrase اـِذَا كَانَ مُضْطَلِعًا عَلَى حَقِّهِ [ If he be possessed of power, or ability, to obtain his right, or due ], it seems that مضطلعا is made trans. by means of على because made to imply the meaning of قَادِرًا or مُقْتَدِرًا. (Mgh.) ↓ مُسْتَضْلِعٌ, likewise, signifies Having strength, or power. (TA.)

مُسْتَضْلِعٌ ذ : see what next precedes.

1 ضَمَّهُ ذ , [aor. ضَمُ3َ ,] inf. n. ضَمٌّ, He drew it, put it, brought it, or gathered it, together; collected it; or contracted it. (Msb.) You say, ضَمَّ شَيْئًا اـِلَى شَىْءٌ, (S, MA, K,) [aor. and] inf. n. as above, He drew, put, or brought, together [ and joined or adjoined ] a thing to a thing. (MA, K.) And ضَمَمْتُهُ اـِلَى صَدْرِى [ I drew him, or pressed him, to my bosom; ] I embraced him. (TA.) And ضَمَّ القَوْمُ, [أَنْفُسَهُمْ being app. understood, or perhaps it is correctly ضُمَّ,] The people, or party, collected themselves together, or became collected. (TA.) And اَللَّهُمَّ ا@ضْمُمْ نَشَرِى (assumed tropical:) O God, compose what is discomposed, or disorganized, [lit. bring together what is scattered, ] of my affairs. (K * and TA in art. نشر.) And ضُمَّ جَنَاحَكَ عَنِ النَّاسِ (assumed tropical:) [ Contract thy side from men; ] meaning be thou gentle, courteous, easy to deal with, or compliant, to men. (TA.) And ضُمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَنَامِلُ The ends of the fingers were drawn together upon it. (Ham p. 21. [See also a similar phrase in what follows, with the verb in the act. form, virtually meaning the same.]) ― -b2- [Also He compacted it: and he compressed it. ― -b3- And He, or it, comprised it; or enclosed it: and he grasped it: as also ضَمَّ عَلَيْهِ, in both of these senses.] You say, ضَمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَنَامِلُ The ends of the fingers grasped it. (Ham p. 21. [See a similar phrase above.]) And ضَمَّ عَلَى المَالِ He took [or grasped ] all the property. (TA.) And ضَمَّ مِنْ مَالِهِ He took of his property. (TA.) ― -b4- [ضَمَّ الحَرْفَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, a conventional phrase in lexicology and grammar, He pronounced the letter with the vowel-sound termed ضَمّ: and he marked the letter with the sign of that vowel-sound. ]

3 ضامّهُ ذ , (S, MA, K, TA,) inf. n. مُضَامَّةٌ, (TA,) He became, or drew, near, or close, to him; he became conjoined with him; (MA;) i. q. اـِلَيْهِ ↓ انضمّ; (S, * MA, K; *) and ↓ تضامّ. (K.) And ضَامَمْتُ الرَّجُلَ I continued conjoined with the man occupied in one affair. (TA.) And ضامّ الشَّىْءُ اـِلَى الشَّىْءِ The thing became [ adjoined to the thing, or] conjoined with the thing. (TA.) See also 6.

4 أَضْمَمْتُهُ كِتَابًا اـِلَى أَخِى ذ [app. I made him, or it, to be accompanied by, or I made it to comprise, a letter to my brother ]. (TA.)

5 تَضَمَّمْتُهُ ذ I took it, or devoured it, altogether. (TA in art. عب.) [See also R. Q. 1.]

6 تَضَامُّوا ذ They became, or drew, near, or close, together, or one to another; or became conjoined, one with another. (S, MA, TA. [See also 8.]) Hence the saying in a trad., لَا تَضَامُّونَ فِى رُؤْيَتِهِ [originally تَتَضَامُّونَ]; but some relate it otherwise, saying ↓ لا تُضَامُّونَ; and some, لا تُضَامُونَ, from الضَّيْمُ; (TA in this art.;) and some, لا تُضَارُّونَ; and some, لا تُضَارُونَ, from الضَّيْرُ. (TA in art. ضر: for explanations, see 3 in that art.) See also 3 above. [Hence,] تضامّ فِى سُجُودِهِ وَجُلُوسِهِ [ He drew himself together in his prostration and his sitting, in prayer]. (S, * and K in art. حفز.)

7 انضمّ ذ It was, or became, drawn, put, brought, or gathered, together; collected; or contracted. (Msb.) انضمّ اـِلَيْهِ is syn. with ضَامَّهُ, q. v. (S, * MA, K. *) [And it signifies also He adjoined himself, got him or got himself, betook him or betook himself, repaired, or resorted, to him, or it. And انضمّ عَلَيْهِ It became drawn together upon it. انضمّ الى كَذَا is expl. in the TA as meaning اِنْطَوَى: but I think that الى is evidently a mistranscription for عَلَى; and that the meaning therefore is, It infolded such a thing, or enclosed it, like اضطمّ عليه, q. v.]
