And اِدَّعَيْتَ عَلَىَّ مَا لَمْ أَفْعَلْ [ Thou hast asserted against me, or charged against me, or accused me of, that which I have not done ]. (S and K in art. شرب, and S in art. اكل.) هٰذَا ا@لَّذِى كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ, in the Kur [lxvii. 27], means This is that on account of which ye used to assert vain and false things: or which ye used to deny, or disbelieve: or, accord. to Fr, the latter verb may here be used in the sense of تَدْعُونَ; and the meaning may be, this is that which ye desired to hasten, and for which ye prayed to God in the words of the Kur [viii. 32], “ O God, if this be the truth from Thee, then rain Thou upon us stones from Heaven, or bring upon us some [other] painful punishment: ” it may be from الدُّعَاآءُ: and it may be from الدَّعْوَى: (TA:) [i. e.] it means this is that which ye used to demand, and desire to hasten; from الدُّعَاآءُ: or that which ye used to assert, [namely,] that there will be no raising to life; from الدَّعْوَى. (Bd.) And وَلَهُمْ مَا يَدَّعُونَ, in the Kur [xxxvi. 57], is explained as meaning And they shall have what they desire, or wish for; which is referrible to the meaning of الدُّعَاآءُ.

And يَدَّعِيهِ غَيْرُ أَبِيهِ [ One who is not his father asserts him to be his son; or claims him as his son ]. (T, Msb.) الاِدِّعَاآءُ in war signifies The asserting one's relationship; syn. الاِعْتِزَاآءُ; (S, TA;) as also ↓ التَّدَاعِى; (TA;) i. e. the saying “ I am such a one the son of such a one. ” (S.) And [hence] sometimes it includes the meaning of Informing, or telling; and therefore بِ may be prefixed to its objective complement; so that one says, فُلَانٌ يَدَّعِى بِكَرَمِ فِعَالِهِ, i. e. Such a one informs of the generosity of his deeds. (Msb.)
