1 دَلَا الدَّلْوَ دلا الدلو , (Mgh, K, [in the CK, دَلّاها is erroneously put for دَلَاهَا,]) [and دَلَا بِالدَّلْوِ,] first pers. دَلَوْتُ الدَّلْوَ, (T, S, Msb,) and دَلَوْتُ بِالدَّلْوِ, (Msb,) aor., first pers., أَدْلُو, inf. n. دَلْوٌ; (T;) and الدَّلْوَ ↓ ادلى; (Mgh; [the only authority that I find for the latter verb in the sense here explained;]) He pulled the دَلْو [or bucket ] up, or out, (T, S, Mgh, Msb,) from the well, (T, Mgh,) full: (T, Mgh:) or he pulled the دلو to make it come forth. (K.) Hence, i. e. from ادلى الدلو as explained above, the saying, in a trad., if it be correct, عَنِ المَاآءَ ↓ وَرَدُوا مَاآءٍ فَسَأَلُوا أَهْلَهُ أَنْ يُدْلُوهُمْ [ They came to water, and they asked its owners to draw for them from the water ]; for يُدْلُوا لَهُمْ, or يُدْلُوا دَلْوَهُمْ.

And دَلَّاهُ مِنْ سَطْحٍ بِحَبْلٍ He let him, or it, down from a house-top by means of a rope. (Mgh.) And دلّى رِجْلَيْهِ مِنَ السَّرِيرِ [ He hung down his legs from the couch ]; and ↓ ادلى occurs in the same sense. (Mgh.)

(Har p. 167.) See also 2, in four places. ― -b2- Hence, (Mgh,) ادلى بِحُجَّتِهِ (tropical:) He adduced his plea, or the like, (T, S, M, Mgh, K,) correctly, or validly; (T;) or he defended himself by adducing it or urging it: (S:) or he established his plea, or the like, and so obtained his claim or demand or suit.

(TA.) ― -b3- And ادلى بِمَالِهِ (tropical:) He gave, (دَفَعَ, M, K, TA,) or presented, or offered, (رَفَعَ, S, TA,) his property, (S, M, K, TA,) اـِلَيْهِ [ to him ], (M,) or الى الحَاكِمَ [ to the judge ].

(tropical:) And [do not] give it, or offer it, as a bribe to the judges: (S, * TA:) or and do not endeavour to conciliate with it the judges in order that they may cut off for you what is the right of others: (T:) or and do not throw it to the judges to be decided by them, (Mgh, Bd, Jel,) or as a bribe. (Jel.) And in a letter of 'Omar, فَا@فْهَمْ اـِذَا أُدْلِىَ اـِلَيْكَ And understand thou when an application is made to thee by litigants for the decision of a cause. (Mgh.) ― -b4- And ادلى بِرَحِمِهِ (tropical:) He sought to bring himself near, to approach, or to gain access, [اـِلَى غَيْرِهِ to another, ] by means of his relationship: (S, K, TA:) and he pleaded, or made intercession, thereby.

Then he (Gabriel) hung down from the highest region of the sky, and so drew near to the Apostle: showing that he took him up without becoming separated from his place: or the meaning of the phrase, as it stands, is, then he drew near to the Prophet, and he clung to him: (Bd:) but accord. to Zj, it means then he drew near, and drew nearer; and is like the phrase دَنَا فُلَانٌ مِنِّى وَقَرُبَ. (T. [See also another explanation in what follows.]) ― -b3- And He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive; or he lowered, humbled, or abased, himself. (IAar, T; and K in art. دلى.) ― -b4- In the saying of a poet, كَأَنَ رَاكِبَهَا غُصْنٌ بِمَرْوَحَةٍ اـِذَا تَدَلَّتْ بِهِ أَوْ شَارِبٌ ثَمِلٌ تدلّت may be quasi-pass. of دَلَا, inf. n. دَلْوٌ, signifying “ he drove, or urged on, gently: ” or it may be for تَدَلَّلَتْ: [so that the meaning may be, As though her rider were a branch of a tree in a place over which the wind was blowing, when she became urged on gently with him, or an intoxicated drinker: or, when she emboldened herself with him, &c.:] (M:) [for] تَدَلَّى is also syn. with تَدَلَّلَ: (S, K:) and [J says that] this is its meaning in the saying in the Kur [otherwise explained above] ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى: being like يَتَمَطَّى in the Kur [lxxv. 33], i. e. يَتَمَطَّطُ. (S.)

[But in the M, in one place, it seems to be stated that, accord. to some, دَلَاةٌ and دَلًا signify the same, in a pl. sense: for, after the pls. of دَلْوٌ, it is added, وَهِىَ الدَّلَاةُ وَالدَّلَا. I think, however, that he who first said this meant thereby that الدَّلَاةُ and الدَّلَا signify, respectively, the same as الدَّلْوُ and الدِّلَاآءُ &c.]) [Hence the saying, أَتْبِعِ الدَّلْوَ رِشَاآءَهَا: see 4 in art. تبع.] As masc., it has for its dim. ↓ دُلَّىٌّ: as fem., ↓ دُلَيَّةٌ.
