فِتْلَةٌ ذ [ A manner of twisting ]. You say فِتْلَةٌ بَارِحَةٌ, meaning شَزْرَةٌ [i. e. A manner of twisting contrary to that which is usual ]. (A in art. برح.)

فَتَلَةٌ ذ : see فَتْلَةٌ, near the middle: ― -b2- and see the paragraph here following, last sentence.

فَتِيلٌ ذ Twisted; [applied to a rope, &c.;] as also ↓ مَفْتُولٌ. (M, K.) ― -b2- And A slender cord, of [ the fibres called ] لِيف, (M, K,) or of [ the bark termed ] خَزَم, or of عَرَق [meaning plaited palmleaves ], or of thongs, (M,) which is bound upon the ring (M, K) called عِيَان which is at the end (مُنْتَهى), (M,) or which is at the place of meeting (مُلْتَقَى), (K,) of the دُجْرَانِ [ two pieces of wood to which the share of the plough is attached ]. (M, K.) ― -b3- [And A tent for a wound: a term used by surgeons: see دَسَمَ الجُرْحَ, in art. دسم.] ― -b4- And What one twists [or rolls ] (S, M, O, K) between his fingers (M, K) or between the two fingers [meaning the thumb and fore finger ], (S, O,) of dirt [ that has collected upon the skin when it has not been recently washed ]; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ فَتِيلَةٌ. (M, K.) So says I' Ab in explaining the saying in the Kur [iv. 52, and 79 also accord. to some readers, and xvii. 73], وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا [meaning (tropical:) And they shall not be wronged by their being deprived of the most paltry right; or they shall not be wronged a whit ]: (O, TA:) or the [primary, or proper,] meaning in this phrase is what here follows. (TA; and in like manner Bd says in iv. 52.) ― -b5- And The سَحَاة [or integument, meaning the pellicle ], (M, K, TA,) or the خَيْط [or thread, meaning the filament ], (Bd in iv. 52,) that is in the شَقّ [or cleft, resembling a crease, which extends along one side ] of the datestone: (M, K, TA: but for شَقّ, the CK has شِقّ:) ISk says, the قِطْمِير is the thin integument upon the date-stone, and, he adds, (T, TA, *) the فَتِيل is what is in the شَقّ of the date-stone. (T, S, O, Msb, TA.) Hence, (M,) one says, مَا أُغْنِى عَنْهُ فَتِيلًا, (M, and so in the K except that the latter has عَنْكَ instead of عَنْهُ,) meaning [ I do not avail, or profit, him, (or accord. to the K, thee, ) or I do not stand, or serve, him (or thee ) in stead, ] as much as that سَحَاة, (M,) or a whit; (K;) and in like manner, ↓ فَتْلَةً, (Th, M, K, [in the CK, erroneously, فَتِيلَةً,]) and ↓ فَتَلَةً. (IAar, M, K.)

فَتِيلَةٌ ذ A wick (S, O, K) of a lamp: (T, Msb:) pl. فَتَائِلُ and فَتِيلَاتٌ. (Msb.) [Hence, حَجَرُ الفَتِيلَةِ Amiantus, or flexible asbestus, of which wicks are sometimes made. ― -b2- And in the present day, فَتِيلَةٌ also signifies A hempen match. ― -b3- And A suppository. ] ― -b4- فَتَائِلُ الرُّهْبَانِ is the name of A certain plant, the leaves of which are like [ those of ] the senna (السَّنَا), and its blossom is yellow. (TA.) ― -b5- See also فَتِيلٌ.

(S, O.)

ذُبَالٌ مُفَتَّلٌ ذ [ Twisted wicks ]: the epithet in this case is with teshdeed because applied to many things. (S, O, K.)

مَفْتُولٌ ذ : see فَتِيلٌ. ― -b2- [It also signifies (tropical:) Compact, or firm, in make; as though twisted; like مَجْدُولٌ and مَعْصُوبٌ:] you say رَجُلٌ مَفْتُولُ السَّاعِدِ A man strong [or firm or compact ] in the ساعد [or fore arm ]; as though it were twisted. (TA.)

1 فَتَنَهُ ذ , (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. فَتِنَ , (M,) inf. n. فَتْنٌ, (S, M, K,) [and quasi-inf. n., in this and other senses, فِتْنَةٌ,] He burned it (T, * S, * M, K *) in the fire. (M.) Hence, [in the Kur li. 13,] يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ا@لنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ (T, * S, M, K *) i. e. [ The day, or on the day, accord. to two different readings, (يَوْمُ and يَوْمَ, the latter of which is the more common,)] when they shall be burned (T, S, M, K) with the fire [of Hell]. (T.) And [in the Kur lxxxv. 10,] اـِنَّ ا@لَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا ا@لْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَا@لْمُؤْمِنَاتِ Verily they who burned the believing men and the believing women (T, S *) in the fire kindled in the trench, or pit; throwing them therein. (T.) This is said to be the primary signification of the verb. (TA.) ― -b2- And He melted it with fire, (T,) or put it into the fire, (S, Msb,) namely, gold, (T, S, Msb,) and silver, in order to separate, or distinguish, (T, Msb,) the bad from the good, (T,) or the good from the bad, (Msb,) or to see what was its [ degree of ] goodness. (S.) ― -b3- And hence, accord. to Er-Rághib, الفَتْنُ is used as meaning The causing a man to enter into fire [app. by way of trial, or probation ], and [ in like manner ] into a state of punishment, or affliction: (TA:) [and it is also used as meaning the slaying another; whence, in the Kur iv. 102,] اـِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ ا@لَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا means [ If ye fear that those who have disbelieved ] may slay you; and in like manner in the Chapter of Yoonus [i. e. in x. 83], أَنْ يَفْتِنَهُمْ means ان يَقْتُلَهُمْ. (T. [In the TA, these two exs. are misplaced, or something has been omitted before them by a copyist.]) ― -b4- [Hence also,] one says, فَتَنَهُ, aor. فَتِنَ , (K, TA,) inf. n. فَتْنٌ, (TA,) He, or it, caused him to fall into الفِتْنَة; (K, TA;) i. e. trial; and affliction, distress, or hardship; [generally meaning an affliction whereby some good or evil quality is put to the test; ] (TA;) as also ↓ اِفْتَتَنَهُ; and ↓ فتّنهُ; (K, TA;) but this, of which the inf. n. is تَفْتِينٌ, has an intensive signification; (S;) and ↓ أَفْتَنَهُ; (K, TA;) which last is rare, or rather, accord. to As, [though app. not in this sense, but in another, to be mentioned in what follows,] is not allowable: (TA:) the first of these verbs is trans. and intrans.: (S, K, TA:) you say also, فَتَنَ, (AZ, T, S, K, TA,) aor. فَتِنَ , (AZ, T, K,) inf. n. فُتُونٌ, (AZ, T, S, TA,) He fell into فِتْنَة [i. e. trial, or affliction, &c.]; (AZ, T, K;) as also ↓ اِفْتَتَنَ: (K:) or the former signifies he shifted from a good, to an evil, state or condition: or, accord. to En-Nadr, one says ↓ اِفْتَتَنَ and اُفْتُتِنَ, both meaning the same; and this is correct; but فَتَنَ as quasi-pass. of فَتَنْتُهُ [i. e. as intrans.] is of weak authority: (T:) and ↓ اُفْتُتِنَ, said of a man, [as also اِفْتَتَنَ,] and فُتِنَ, signify the same, (S, M,) accord. to AZ, (M,) i. e. he was smitten by a فِتْنَة [or trial, &c.,] so that his wealth, or property, or his intellect, departed: and likewise he was tried, or tested: (S:) and accord. to AZ, one says, of a man, ↓ أُفْتِنَ, [if not a mistranscription for اُفْتُتِنَ, as above,] with damm, meaning فُتِنَ: (TA:) [and فَتَنَهُ has فُتُونٌ also as an inf. n.:] it is said in the Kur [xx. 41], وَفَتَنَّاكَ فُتُونًا (S) i. e. And we tried thee with a [ severe ] trying: or the noun in this instance is pl. of فَتْنٌ; or of فِتْنَةٌ, formed by disregard of the ة, like حُجُوزٌ and بُدُورٌ which are [said to be] pls. of حُجْزَةٌ and بَدْرَةٌ; so that the meaning is, we tried thee with several sorts of trying: (Bd:) or, as some say, and we purified thee with a [ thorough or an effectual ] purifying [ like that of gold, or silver, by means of fire ]: (TA:) [in many instances] فَتَنَهُ, aor. فَتِنَ , [inf. n. فَتْنٌ,] signifies He tried, or tested, him; whence, in the Kur ix. 127, يُفْتَنُونَ means They are tried, or tested, by being summoned to war, against unbelievers or the like; or, as some say, by the infliction of punishment or of some evil thing. (M.) فَتَنْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ, in the Kur [lvii. 13], means Ye caused yourselves to fall into trial and punishment. (TA.) And وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ, in the Kur xxix. 1, is expl. as meaning While they are not tried in their persons and their possessions so that he who has true faith may be known from others by his patient endurance of trial. (T.) And the saying, in a trad., اـِنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِى القُبُورِ means [ Verily ye shall be tried, or tested, in the graves by ] the questioning of [ the two angels ] Munkar and Nekeer. (TA.) [See also مَفْتُونٌ, which is said to be an inf. n., and syn. with فِتْنَةٌ, meaning خِبْرَةٌ, or with فُتُونٌ (mentioned above as an inf. n. of the intrans. v. فَتَنَ), meaning جُنُونٌ; as well as a pass. part. n.] ― -b5- And فَتَنَهٌ, (M, TA,) inf. n. فَتْنٌ, (TA, [or perhaps فُتُونٌ, as in the next following sentence]) also signifies He made him (a man, M) to turn from, or quit, (M, TA,) the predicament in which he was, (M,) or the right course: (TA:) whence, in the Kur [xvii. 75], وَاـِنْ كَادُوا لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ عَنِ ا@لَّذِى أَوْحَيْنَا اـِلَيْكَ (M, TA) i. e. [ And verily they were near to ] their making thee to turn [ from that which we had revealed to thee ]: thus this saying has been explained. (TA.) [And He, or it, seduced him; or tempted him: thus it may often be well rendered, agreeably with what next precedes and what next follows, and with explanations of its act. part. n. and of فِتْنَةٌ.] And one says, فَتَنَ المَالُ النَّاسَ, aor. فَتِنَ , inf. n. فُتُونٌ, [or perhaps فَتْنٌ, as in the next preceding sentence,] meaning Wealth, or property, inclined, or attracted, to it, men, or mankind: and فُتِنَ فِى دِينِهِ and ↓ اُفْتُتِنَ, both in the pass. form, He declined [or was made to decline ] from [ the right way in ] his religion. (Msb.) And فَتَنَهُ, aor, فَتِنَ , inf. n. فَتْنٌ and فُتُونٌ, (M, K,) He, or it induced in him admiration, or pleasure; (M, * K, * TA;) as also ↓ [...]

فَتْنٌ ذ A sort, or species; and a state, or condition; syn. ضَرْبٌ, (T, M, K,) and فَنٌّ, (T, K,) and لَوْنٌ, (M, K,) and حَالٌ. (T, K.) Hence the saying of 'Amr Ibn-Ahmar El-Báhilee, اـِمَّا عَلَى نَفْسٍ وَاـِمَّا لَهَا وَالعَيْشُ فَتْنَانِ فَحُلْوٌ وَمُرْ [ Either against a soul or for it; life being of two sorts, or conditions, sweet and bitter; مُرْ being for مُرٌّ]; (T; and the latter hemistich, without the incipient و, is cited in the K;) thus as related by some: but as related by Aboo-Sa'eed [As], he said فَنَّانِ, i. e. ضَرْبَانِ: and as related by Aboo- 'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, فِتْنَانِ [with kesr]; and [he seems to have held that the poet meant two-sided; for] he says that ↓ الفِتْنُ signifies النَّاحِيَةُ. (T.) ― -b2- And الفَتْنَانِ, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, الفُتْنانِ,]) dual of الفَتْنُ, (TA,) signifies The first and last parts of the day; or the early part of the morning and the late part of the evening: (K, TA:) because they are two states, or conditions, and two sorts.

فِتْنَةٌ ذ A burning with fire. (T.) ― -b2- And The melting of gold and of silver (K, TA) in order to separate, or distinguish, the bad from the good. (TA.) ― -b3- And [hence, or] from فَتَنَ signifying “ he melted, ” (T,) or from that verb as signifying “ he put into the fire, “ (Msb,) gold, and silver, “ for that purpose, ” (T, Msb,) it signifies A trial, or probation; (IAar, T, S, M, K, TA;) and affliction, distress, or hardship; (TA;) and [particularly] an affliction whereby one is tried, proved, or tested: (IAar, T, S, K, TA:) this is the sum of its meaning in the language of the Arabs: (T, TA: *) or the trial whereby the condition of a man may be evinced: this, accord. to Zj, may be the meaning in the Kur v. 45: (M:) or a mean whereby the condition of a man is evinced, in respect of good and of evil: (Kull:) [hence it often means a temptation: ] and ↓ مَفْتُونٌ signifies the same as فِتْنَةٌ, (S, M, K,) meaning a trial: (K:) the pl. of فِتْنَةٌ is فِتَنٌ. (Msb.) It proceeds from God and from man: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [there are many instances of its proceeding from God in the Kur; for ex., in xxxvii. 61,] اـِنَّا جَعَلْنَاهَا فِتْنَةً لِلظَّالِمِينَ i. e. [ Verily we have made it to be ] a trial [ to the wrongdoers ] is said in relation to the tree Ez-Zakkoom; the existence of which they disbelieved; for when they heard that it comes forth in the bottom of Hell, they said, Trees become burned in the fire; then how can they grow therein? (M.) [And hence] it signifies also Punishment, castigation, or chastisement. (T, M, K.) And Slaughter: (T:) and civil war, or conflict occurring among people: (M:) and slaughter, and war, and faction, or sedition, among the parties of the Muslims when they form themselves into parties: (T:) and discord, dissension, or difference of opinions, among the people.

Make not us to be a cause of pleasure to the wrongdoing people ]; meaning, make not them to prevail over us, so as to become pleased with their unbelief and to think that they are better than we.

(TA.) [And الفِتْنَةُ العَمْيَا is a phrase used in the present day as meaning Incurable evil or trouble. ] -A2- [It is also the name now commonly given to The mimosa farnesiana of Linn.; (Delile's Floræ Ægypt. Illustr. no. 962;) called by Forskål (Flora Ægypt. Arab. p. lxxvii.) mimosa scorpioïdes. ]

[or n. un.], and that فَتِين is the pl. [or coll. gen. n.]; but as some relate a verse of El-Kumeyt which is cited as an ex. of فَتِينَة with the ة elided because ending the verse, it is فِتِينَ, and said to be pl. of فِتَةٌ, like as عِزِينَ is of عِزَةٌ.

فَاتِنٌ ذ [is the act. part. n. of the trans. v. فَتَنَ; and as such] signifies Causing to err, or go astray, (T, S, M,) from the truth: (S:) hence the saying in the Kur [xxxvii. 162], مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ, (T, S, * M, *) which, accord. to Fr, means, Ye have not power [ over him ] to cause him to err, except him against whom it has been decreed that he shall enter the fire [of Hell]; فاتنين being made trans. by means of عَلَى because it implies the meaning of قَادِرِينَ, which is thus made trans.: (M:) Fr says, the people of El- Hijáz say مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَاتِنِينَ; and the people of Nejd, ↓ بِمُفْتِنِينَ, from أَفْتَنْتُ.

مَفْتُونٌ ذ [pass. part. n. of 1; signifying Burned: &c.]. ― -b2- It is applied as an epithet to a deenár as meaning Put into the fire in order that one may see what is its [ degree of ] goodness.

[&c.]: IB says, [in remarking upon this passage of the S,] if the ب be redundant, المفتون is the man, and is not an inf. n.; but if you make the ب to be not redundant, then المفتون is an inf. n. in the sense of الفُتُون. (TA.) [See also art. ب; p. 142, second col.; and p. 143, third col.]
