(MA.) It is commonly known as an intrans. verb; but Talhah Ibn-Musarrif and 'Amr Ibn-'Obeyd, read قَدْ أُفْلِحَ ا@لْمُؤْمِنُونَ, [the first verse of ch. xxiii. of the Kur-án,] with the verb in the pass. form. (MF.) [See also 10.] ― -b2- He was, or became, in a state of safety.

The saying of 'Abeed, أَفْلِحْ بِمَا شِئْتَ فَقَدْ يُبْلَغُ بِا@ وَقَدْ يُخَدَّعُ الأَرِيبُ The Perseus transcribers were unclear about the last character of line one and the first character of line two. means Live thou by what thou wilt: whether by stupidity or by intelligence; for [ one's object is sometimes attained by stupidity, and the intelligent, or sagacious, is sometimes deluded, or much deluded; or] the stupid is sometimes supplied with the means of subsistence, and the intelligent is [ sometimes ] denied: (T, L:) or the meaning is prosper thou, &c. (L.)

10 اِسْتَفْلِحِى بِأَمْرِكِ ذ , said by a man to his wife, (S,) a form of words used in divorcing (L, K) in the Time of Ignorance, (L,) Prosper thou in thy case, (AO, S, Mgh, TA,) and be independent therein: (AO, Mgh, TA:) when a man says thus to his wife and she consents, his saying so once separates her from him so that he cannot take her back: (L, from a trad.:) but as it is merely an allusive expression, intention is necessary to render it binding: as some relate the trad, it is with ج [i. e. استفلجى: see art. فلج]. (MF.) [See also 4, above.]

فَلْحٌ ذ A fissure, cleft, slit, or crack: pl. فُلُوحٌ. (Msb.) One says, فِى رِجْلِهِ فُلُوحٌ In his (a man's, S) foot are fissures, or cracks, (S, K, TA,) preduced by cold: (TA:) as also فُلُوجٌ. (S, TA.)

فَلَحٌ ذ A fissure, or crack, in the under lip; (T, K;) [or] ↓ فَلَحَةٌ has this meaning; (S;) or signifies the place of such a fissure or crack: (L:) [or the former is a coll. gen. n.; and the latter, its n. un.:] that which is in the upper lip is termed عَلَمٌ: (T, TA:) or فَلَحٌ signifies a fissure, or crack, in the lip: or, in the middle of the lip, less than what is termed عَلَمٌ: or a slitting, or cracking, in the lip, such as happens to the lips of the [ Africans called ] زَنْج.

And Continuance, or permanence, in a good, or prosperous, state, (A, L, K,) and in the enjoyment of ease, comfort, or the blessings of life; and the continuance of good: (L:) and simply continuance, permanence, lastingness, duration, or endurance. (ISK, S, L.) There is not in the language of the Arabs any word more comprehensive in its significations of what is good in the present life and in the final state than الفَلَاحُ. (TA.) حَىَّ عَلَى الفَلَاحْ, in the call to prayer, means Come ye to the means of the attainment of Paradise, and of permanence therein: (IAth, L:) or hasten to the attainment of everlasting life: (L:) or come to safety, or security: (S:) or come ye to the way of safety and prosperity: (Msb:) or come to the continuance of good. (L.) And you say, لَا أَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ فَلَاحَ الدَّهْرِ I will not do that while time lasts. (L.) A poet says, وَلٰكِنْ لَيْسَ لِلدُّنْيَا فَلَاحُ meaning [ But there is not to the present state of existence ] lastingness, or endurance.

(L.)

فَلَاحَةٌ ذ : see what next follows.

فِلَاحَةٌ ذ , (thus in my copies of the S, and in the L and Msb,) with kesr, (Msb,) [agreeably with general analogy,] or ↓ فَلَاحَةٌ, with fet-h, (K, [but I think that fet-h is here a mistake for kesr, because فَلَاحَهٌ deviates from general analogy, and because it is a general rule of the author of the K to omit the mention of the vowel of a word when it is fet-h,]) Agriculture; or the art, work, or occupation, of ploughing, tilling, or cultivating, land. (S, L, Msb, K.)

أَفْلَحُ ذ Having a fissure, or crack, in the under lip: (S, Mgh:) or a man having what is termed فَلَحٌ in his lip: fem. فَلْحَاآءُ. (L.) 'Antarah El- 'Absee was surnamed الفَلْحَاآءُ because of a fissure in his under lip; the fem. form of the epithet being used because الشَّفَةُ (the lip) is fem.; (S, L;) or because his name is fem. (L.) [See also أَعْلَمُ.]

قَوْمٌ أَفْلَاحٌ ذ [ i. q. مُفْلِحُونَ] A people prospering; successful; attaining, or acquiring, that which they desire or seek, or what is good, or that whereby they become in a happy and good state: افلاح is a pl. of which ISd says, “ I know not any sing. of it. ” (L.)

1 فَلَذَ ذ , aor. فَلِذَ , inf. n. فَلْذٌ, He cut, or cut off. (Msb.)

Hence, in a trad., كَبِدَهُ ↓ اـِنَّ الفَرَقَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَلَذَ [ Verily the fear of the fire of Hell cut in pieces his liver; but perhaps فَلَذَ is here a mistranscription for فَلَّذَ]; said, by the Prophet, of one who had died from fear of the fire [of Hell].

[of mult.] فِلَذٌ (T, S, L, K) and [of pauc.] أَفْلَاذٌ, (T, M, L, K,) the latter irregular, as though the augmentative letter [in the sing.] were elided; or فِلْذٌ may be a dial. var. of فِلْذَةٌ, and so this pl. may be regular. (M, L.) ― -b2- أَفْلَاذُ الأَرْضِ, (M, L, K,) or أَفْلَاذُ كَبِدِ الأَرْضِ, occurring in a trad., (As, T, A, L,) relating to the signs of the day of resurrection, accord. to different relations thereof, (L,) means (tropical:) The buried treasures of the earth, (As, T, M, L, K,) and its riches.

(assumed tropical:) The seven material substances; namely, the four elements, ( fire, air, earth, and water, ) and the three products composed of these (which are minerals, vegetables, and animals )]. (MF. [But in the copy of his work which I use, الاجساد is erroneously put for الجسام.])

فَالُوذٌ ذ (T, S, M, O, L, K) and ↓ فَالُوذَقٌ, but, accord. to Yaakoob, not ↓ فَالُوذَجٌ, (S, O, L,) or this is the proper form, because the ه in the original Pers. word is regularly changed into ج, (MF,) [the word being] arabicized, (T, S, O, L,) from the Pers. (M, O, * L) بَالُودَه [or فَالُودَه or Pَالُودَه], (O,) A kind of sweet food, (M, O, * L, K,) well known, (K,) prepared of the purest substance of wheat (لُبّ الحِنْطَة), (T, L,) or of starch, (TA in art. نشو,) [ with water and honey: ] pl. فَوَالِيذُ [of which see an ex. in the next paragraph].

(A.)

فَالُوذَجٌ ذ and فَالُوذَقٌ: see فَالُوذٌ, above.

مَفْلُوذٌ ذ A sword made of فُولَاذ [i. e. steel ]. (O, K.)

فِلِزٌّ ذ (Lth, IDrd, S, A, O, K, &c.) and فِلَزٌّ and فُلُزٌّ, (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K,) the first of which is what is commonly known, (TA,) White copper (نُحَاس أَبْيَض [app. a sort of bronze in which the relative quantity of the tin is unusually large ] whereof are made cast cooking-pots (Lth, O, K, TA) of large size, and mortars in which substances are pounded: (TA:) or the metals; gold and silver and copper and the like: (A'Obeyd, A, O, K: *) or the substance [i. e. recrement ] that is removed [or blown away ] by the blacksmith's bellows from molten metals: (S, O, K:) or the dross, or recrement, of iron, (O, K,) that is removed [or blown away ] by the blacksmith's bellows: (O:) or stones: (O, K:) its primary meaning is [said to be] hardness, and ruggedness.

And (tropical:) A niggard: (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K, TA:) as though he were hard iron, upon which nothing would make any impression.

2 فلّسهُ ذ , (S, A, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَفْلِيسٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) He (a judge) proclaimed him. (S, A, O, Msb,) or pronounced him, (O, K,) to be, or to have become, in a state of اـِفْلَاس [meaning bankruptcy, or insolvency ], (S, A, O, K,) or to have become مُفْلِس [meaning bankrupt, or insolvent ], and paraded him among the people as such.

4 افلس ذ , [inf. n. اـِفْلَاسٌ,] He became مُفْلِس [which in the common legal acceptation means bankrupt, or insolvent ]: (S:) or he had no property remaining: (O, K:) as though his دَرَاهِم [or pieces of silver] had become فُلُوس [or small copper coins], (S, O, K,) and base money: like as أَخْبَثَ signifies “ his companions, or friends, became bad, wicked, or deceitful: ” (S, O:) or he became in such a state that it was said he had not a فَلْس [or small copper coin ]; (S, O, K;) like as أَقْهَرَ signifies “ he became in a state in which to be overcome, or subdued: ” (S, O:) or as though he became in a state in which to be overcome, or subdued: (Msb:) or he became a possessor of فُلُوس after he had been a possessor of دَرَاهِم: (M, Msb:) but properly, [so in the Msb, but I would rather say secondarily, or tropically,] he became reduced from a state of ease, or competence, or richness, to a state of difficulty, or poverty. (Msb.) -A2- افلس الرَّجُلَ He sought the man and missed his place. (AA, O.)
