وَادٍ مُغِنٌّ ذ (tropical:) A valley in which is [ heard ] the sound [or humming ] of flies; these not being in any valley but such as abounds with herbs or herbage; (S;) a valley of which the flies are abundant, by reason of the denseness, or luxuriance, of its herbs or herbage, so that a غُنَّة [or humming ] is heard, produced by their flying: the epithet being applied to it, but being properly applicable to the flies.

غَنَمٌ ذ i. q. شَاآءٌ, (T, Msb, K,) meaning Sheep and goats; (Msb;) [and both together; ] a gen. n., (S, Msb, K,) of the fem. gender, (S, K,) applied to the males and the females, and to both together: (S, Msb, K:) it has no sing. from which it is derived, the sing. being شاة: the dual غَنَمَانِ is used as meaning two flocks or herds [ of sheep or of goats or of both together ]; (Msb, K;) each flock or herd having its distinct place of pasture and its pastor: (Msb, TA: *) and hence it is said in a trad. that the poor-rate [meaning a portion thereof] is to be given to him to whom the year of drought has left a غَنَم, but not to him to whom it has left غَنَمَيْنِ: (TA:) the pl. is أَغْنَامٌ, (Msb, K,) [properly a pl. of pauc.,] sometimes used, (Msb,) meaning flocks or herds of غَنَم, (Msb and TA in art. ابل,) and also غُنُومٌ and أَغَانِمُ, (K,) the last used in an ode of Aboo-Jundab El-Hudhalee: (TA:) the dim. is ↓ غُنَيْمَةٌ, with ة, because quasi-pl. ns. of the class having no sing. from which they are derived, when applied to what are not human beings, are constantly fem.; so one says خَمْسٌ مِنَ الغَنَمِ ذُكُورٌ [ five of sheep, males ], making the n. of number fem., though one means rams, when it is followed by مِنَ الغَنَمِ, for the n. of number is masc. and fem. accord. to the word, not accord. to the meaning. (S.) ― -b2- In the saying لَا اآتِيكَ غَنَمَ الفِزْرِ i. e. حَتَّى تَجْتَمِعَ غَنَمُ الفِزْرِ [ I will not come to thee until the sheep, or goats, of El-Fizr congregate ], غنم [with its complement] is made to stand in the place of الدَّهْر, [the meaning being, I will not come to thee ever, ] and is [therefore] put in the accus. case as though it were an adv. n. [of time]. (TA. [This saying with مِعْزَى in the place of غَنَمَ is mentioned by El-Meydánee in his “ Proverbs, ” and thus in the S and K in art. فزر. For an explanation of its origin see Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 484.]) ― -b3- الأَغْنَامُ is the name of (assumed tropical:) Certain small stars between the legs of Cepheus and the star الجَدْىُ. (Kzw, in his descr. of Cepheus.) [See شَاةٌ (in art. شوه), last sentence.]

غَنِيمٌ ذ : see what next follows.

غَنِيمَةٌ ذ and ↓ مَغْنَمٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ غَنِيمٌ and ↓ غُنْمٌ all signify فَىْءٌ [as meaning Spoil, booty, or plunder ]: and the acquisition of a thing without difficulty, or trouble, or inconvenience: or this is termed ↓ غُنْمٌ, and فَىْءٌ is termed غَنِيمَةٌ: (K:) or, accord. to A 'Obeyd, الغَنِيمَةُ signifies what is obtained from the believers in a plurality of gods, by force, during war; (Mgh, Msb:) and of this, a fifth is to be taken, [ and applied in the manner prescribed in the Kur viii. 42,] and what remains after the fifth is for those who have obtained it, exclusively; (Mgh;) the horseman having three shares, and the foot-soldier having one share: (Az, TA:) and الفَىْءُ signifies what is obtained from them after the laying-down of arms, (Mgh, Msb,) when the country, or place, becomes a country, or place, of Islám; and this is for all of the Muslims, and is not to be divided into fifths: (Mgh:) or the فَىْء is what God has given, or restored, of the possessions of the believers in a plurality of gods, to the Muslims, without war, such as the poll-tax, and that for which peace has been made with them; and of this also a fifth is to be applied in the manner prescribed by God, and the remainder is to be expended in the purchase of horses and weapons and other apparatus for the defence of the frontiers: (Az, TA:) and النَّفَلُ is what is given to the warrior in addition to his share; and is when the Imám or the commander says, “ He who slays one shall have his spoil; ” or says to a detachment, “ What ye obtain shall be yours, ” or “ the quarter of it, ” or “ the half of it; ” and it is not divided into fifths; and it lies on the Imám to fulfil the promise: or, accord. to 'Alee Ibn-'Eesà, الغَنِيمَةُ is more general in signification than النَّفَلُ; and الفَىْءُ is more so than الغَنِيمَةُ, because it is a name for everything of the possessions of the believers in a plurality of gods that becomes the property of the Muslims: accord. to the lawyers, everything that may be lawfully taken, of their possessions, is فَىْء: (Mgh:) the pl. of غَنِيمَةٌ is غَنَائِمُ; and the pl. of ↓ مَغْنَمٌ is مَغَانِمُ, (Msb, TA,) and غُنُومٌ occurs as pl. of ↓ غُنْمٌ. (TA.) غَنِيمَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ see expl. in art. برد.

غُنَامَاكَ أَنْ تَفَعَلَ كَذَا ذ (S, K, * TA) means The utmost of thy power, or ability, and of thy case, (S, * TA,) and that which thou eagerly desirest like as one desires spoil, (S, * JM, TA, *) [ is, or will be, thy doing such a thing; ] i. q. قُصَارَاكَ: (K, TA: [see also عُنَانَاكَ, in art. عن:]) and so ↓ غُنْمُكَ: (TA:) and [in like manner] one says, أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا ↓ غُنَيْمَاؤُهُ, like حُسَيْنَاؤُهُ, meaning قُصَارَاهُ [ The utmost of his power, &c.]. (TA in art. حسن.)

غَنَمٌ مُغْنَمَةٌ ذ and مُغَنَّمَةٌ Sheep, or goats, collected together: (TA:) or many or numerous: (K, TA:) or, accord. to AZ, one of these two epithets, thus applied, [probably the latter, like مُؤَبَّلَةٌ applied to اـِبِلٌ, as he seems to say,] signifies [app. divided into distinct flocks or herds, ] each [ flock or herd ] having its own pastor.

(K.) One says غَنِىَ and ↓ استغنى and ↓ تغنّى and ↓ تغانى and ↓ اغتنى, (K, TA, [but wanting in the CK, and app. in several copies of the K, though it is said in one place in the K, as it is in the S, that تغنّى is syn. with استغنى,]) all having one and the same meaning, and followed by بِهِ [as therewith signifying He was, or became, free from want; in the state, or condition, of having no want, or need; or in a state of competence, &c.; by means of it, or him; i. e. he was, or became, sufficed by it, or him; and hence, he was, or became, content, or satisfied, with it, or him ]. (TA.) ↓ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالقُرْاآنِ, (Msb, TA,) a saying of the Prophet, (Msb,) mentioned in a trad., (TA,) means من لم ↓ يَسْتَغْنِ [i. e. He is not of us who is not content, or satisfied, with the Kur-án ]: so says Sufyán Ibn-'Oyeyneh; not regarding it as meaning the utterance of the voice [in chanting]: and A 'Obeyd says that this obtains extensively in the speech of the Arabs; that they say ↓ تَغَنَّيْتُ and ↓ تَغَانَيْتُ in the sense of ↓ اِسْتَغْنَيْتُ. (Az, Msb, TA.) And one says, غَنِىَ عَنْهُ, inf. n. غِنًى and غُنْيَانٌ, meaning He was in no need of it [or him ]: as also عنه ↓ استغنى; and غنه ↓ أَغْنَى [which seems to be rarely used in this sense]: and ↓ غُنْيَةٌ signifies the state of being in no need: and ↓ غَانٍِ, a man free from need. (MA.) [And مَا عَنْهُ ↓ يَسْتَغْنِى He is not without need, or not free from want, of it, or him. ] And غَنِىَ بِهِ عَنْهُ, (S, Msb,) i. e. عَنْ غَيْرِهِ, (Msb,) inf. n. غُنْيَةٌ, (S,) or ↓ غُنْيَةٌ is the subst., (Msb,) meaning ↓ استغنى [ He was sufficed by it, or was satisfied, or content, with it, so as to be in no need, or so as to be free from want, of it, i. e. of another thing ]: and the epithet is ↓ غَنِىٌّ.

And [in like manner] غَنِيَتِ المَرْأَةُ بِزَوْجِهَا (S, Msb, K) عَنْ غَيْرِهِ, (Msb,) inf. n. غُنْيَانٌ (S, K) and غَنَاآءٌ also, (TA,) meaning ↓ اِسْتَغْنَت [ The woman was satisfied, or content, with her husband, so as to have no want of other than him ]. (S, K) And غَنِيَتْ [alone], (K, TA,) inf. n. غِنًا [for غِنًى, or perhaps a mistranscription for غَنَاآءٌ, as in the next preceding sentence], She (a woman) was, or became, such as is termed غَانِيَةٌ [q. v. voce غَانٍ]. (K.) ― -b2- غَنِىَ, (TK,) inf. n. غِنًى, (K, TK,) also signifies He married, or took a wife; [as also ↓ تغنّى; (see Ham p. 226 l. 1, where تَغَنَّتْ occurs said of a woman as meaning she married; )] syn. تَزَوَّجَ. (K, * TK. [In the K, only the inf. n. of the former verb in this sense is mentioned; الغِنَى being there expl. in some copies as signifying التَّزَوُّجُ; and in others, التَّزْوِيجُ.]) Hence the saying, الغِنَى حِصْنٌ لِلْعَزَبِ [ Marriage is a bulwark to him who has no wife; protecting him from the attacks of seductive women by rendering him free from the want of them]: mentioned by Az. (TA.) ― -b3- Also, غَنِىَ, (S, K,) inf. n. غِنًى, (TA,) He dwelt, or abode, (S, K,) بِالمَكَانِ in the place: (S:) or غَنِىَ القَوْمُ فِى دَارِهِمْ The people, or party, dwelt long in their place of abode: (T, TA:) or غَنِىَ فِى مَكَانِ كَذَا He dwelt long in such a place, satisfied, or content, therewith, so as to be in no need of any other. (Er-Rághib, TA.) كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا, in the Kur [vii. 90 and xi. 71 and 98], means As though they had not dwelt therein. (TA.) [See also the last sentence but two in this paragraph.] ― -b4- And He lived; syn. عَاشَ. (S, K.) ― -b5- And I. q. بَقِىَ: (TA:) one says, غَنِيتُ لَكَ مِنِّى بِالمَوَدَّةِ, meaning بَقِيتُ [i. e. I remained, or have remained, constant to thee with my love, or affection ]. (ISd, K, TA: in the CK [erroneously] غَنَيْتُ.) ― -b6- [And I. q. كَانَ.] قَدْ أَغْنَى الحَبِيبَ المُصَافِىَ, in a verse of Ibn-Mukbil, means أَكُونُ الحَبِيبَ [i. e. Certainly I will be, or shall be, the sincere friend ]. (TA.) And غَنِيَتْ دَارُنَا تِهَامَةَ, (K, TA,) in a verse of another poet, (TA,) means كَانَتْ [i. e. Our place of abode was Tihámeh ]. (K, TA.) And one says of a thing when it has perished, passed away, or come to nought, كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَ بِالأَمْسِ, meaning كَأَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ [i. e. As though it had not been in existence yesterday ]. (Az, TA.) -A2- غَنِىَ also signifies لَقِىَ: (K:) [SM doubts this; saying,] thus in the copies; but perhaps it should be بَقِىَ, a signification of غَنِىَ accord. to ISd and the K [and mentioned above]: (TA:) [it appears, however, to be correct; for it is said that] مَا غَنِيتُ فُلَانًا means لَمْ أَلْقَهُ [i. e. I did not meet, or meet with, or find, or I have not met, &c., such a one ]. (JK.) [Accord. to the TK, غَنِىَ followed by بِهِ signifies لَقِى: but this is perhaps said conjecturally.]
