Hence, app., the saying,] ― -b2- مَا بِفُلَانٍ مُتَمَرَّسٌ (tropical:) [ Nothing can be done with, or got from, such a one ]: said of him from whom the enemy can obtain no advantage: (A:) or of him who is hardy and strong, so that he who strives with him cannot withstand him, because he has striven against calamities and contentions: (TA:) and of the avaricious man, from whom he who is in want cannot obtain anything. (A, TA.)

1 مَرِضَ ذ , (S, Msb, K,) aor. مَرَضَ , inf. n. مَرَضٌ and مَرْضٌ, (Msb, K,) which latter is a dial. form rarely used, (Msb,) He (a man, S, or an animal [of any kind], Msb) was, or became, [ diseased, disordered, distempered, sick, or ill; i. e.] in the state termed مَرَضٌ (S, Msb, K) denoting that change of the constitution or temperament which is described in the explanation of this term below; (K;) as also ↓ امرض, expl. by صَارَ ذَا مَرَضٍ. (K, TA; but not in the CK.) ― -b2- [Hence, مَرِضَتِ العَيْنُ (tropical:) The eye became languid; or languishing; or weak: (see مَرِيضٌ:) or, as Golius says, on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, was weak from much, and too much, looking. ] ― -b3- And مَرِضَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ (tropical:) The night became dark. (Th, O.) ― -b4- [The verb probably has several other tropical significations agreeable with explanations of مَرَضٌ and مَرِيضٌ which will be found below.]

2 مرّضهُ ذ , (S, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. تَمْرِيضٌ, (S, Msb, K,) He took care of him in his sickness; (Sb, S, Mgh;) and treated him medically, to remove his disease; the measure فَعَّلَ in this instance having a privative quality, though its quality is in most instances confirmative: (Sb:) or he took good care of him, namely a sick person: (K:) or he undertook, or managed, or superintended, the medical treatment of him. (Msb.) -A2- مرّض فِى الأَمْرِ, (IDrd, A,) [and مَرَّضَهُ, (O, K voce ضَهْيَأَ,)] inf. n. as above, (S, K,) (tropical:) He fell short of doing what he ought to have done, or was remiss, in, or with respect to, the affair: (S, A:) or he did not exert himself to the full, or to the utmost, or beyond what is usual, in it: (IDrd:) or he did it weakly, or feebly, (K, * TA,) not firmly or soundly: (TA:) as also فِيهِ ↓ مارض. (TA.) [See also 5.] And مرّض فُلَانٌ فِى حَاجَتِى (tropical:) Such a one was deficient in activity in accomplishing my want. (TA.) And مرّض فِى كَلَامِهِ (tropical:) He was weak in his speech. (IDrd.) ― -b2- [حَكَاهُ بِصِيغَةِ التَّمْرِيضِ, probably a post-classical phrase, signifies (assumed tropical:) He mentioned it, or related it, in a manner implying that it was doubtful, or was a mere assertion; as when the word قِيلَ is used.]

3 مارض فِى الأَمْرِ ذ : see 2. ― -b2- مَارَضْتُ رَأْيِى فِيكَ (tropical:) I deceived myself, or endeavoured to deceive myself, respecting thee. (A, TA.)

4 امرض ذ : see 1. ― -b2- He had a bane, or murrain, (Yaakoob, S,) or a disease, or distemper, (A, TA,) in his beasts, (Yaakoob, S, A,) or camels. (TA.) -A2- امرضهُ He (God, S, Msb) rendered him مَرِيض [or diseased, &c.]. (Sb, S, * Msb, K.) You say also, أَكَلَ مَا لَمْ يُوَافِقْهُ فَأَمْرَضَهُ (A, TA) [ He ate what did not agree with him, and ] it caused him to fall into المَرَض [or disease, &c.]. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] اـِمْرَاضُ الأجْفَانِ (S, voce اـِسْجَادٌ) (tropical:) The lowering of the eyelids [ in a languid, or languishing, manner: see مَرِيضٌ]. (TK, voce اـِسْجَادٌ.) ― -b3- امرضهُ also signifies He found him to be مَرِيض [or diseased, &c.]. (K.) -A3- Also امرض (assumed tropical:) He was near to being right in opinion, (S, L, K, *) though not altogether right. (L.) In the K, this signification is wrongly assigned to امرضهُ. (TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely El-Ukeyshir El-Asadee, praising 'Abd-el-Melik Ibn-Marwán, (TA.) وَلٰكِنْ تَحْتَ ذَاكَ الشَّيْبِ حَزْمٌ اـِذَا مَا ظَنَّ أَمْرَضَ أَوْ أَصَابَا [ But beneath that hoariness is good judgment: when he forms an opinion, he is nearly right, or he is right ]. (S, TA.) ― -b2- Also, امرضهُ فُلَانٌ (tropical:) Such a one was near to attaining the object of his [another's] want. (A, TA.)

5 تمرّض ذ (tropical:) He was weak, or feeble, in his affair. (A, * K, TA.) [It seems to be indicated in the A that ↓ تمارض also has this signification; like as مارض in nearly the same sense is syn. with مرّض, q. v.: or perhaps تمارض signifies (tropical:) he feigned, or made a false show of, weakness, or feebleness, in his affair: it is said, in the A, to be used tropically as well as properly.]

6 تمارض ذ He feigned, or made a false show of, مَرَض [or disease, &c.] in himself. (S, A. *) ― -b2- See also 5.

(Sb.) فِى قُلْوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ, in the Kur, [ii. 9, &c.,] means (assumed tropical:) In their hearts is doubt: (AO:) or (assumed tropical:) doubt and hypocrisy. (TA.) And الَّذِى فِى قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ, in the same, [xxxiii. 32,] (assumed tropical:) In whose heart is darkness: or (assumed tropical:) flagging, or remissness, in respect of what is commanded and what is forbidden: or (assumed tropical:) love of adultery or fornication: (TA:) or hypocrisy.
