(TA.) It is said in a trad. of Aboo-Hureyreh, ذَهَبَ النَّاسُ وَبَقِىَ النَّسْنَاسُ [ The men have gone, and the نسناس remain ].

When the Arabs returned from Mina, [after the accomplishment of the pilgrimage,] it was customary for a man of the tribe of Kináneh to arise and say, أَنَا الَّذِى لَا يُرَدُّ لِى قَضَاآءٌ [“ I am he whose decree is not to be rejected ”]; (S;) or اـِنِّى لَا أُحَابُ وَلَا أُعَابُ وَلَا يُرَدُّ قَوْلِى, or ولا يردّ مَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ; [“ Verily I am not to be accused of a sin, nor am I to be charged with a fault, nor is my saying, (or decree,) to be rejected; ”] (TA;) whereupon they would say, أَنْسِئْنَا شَهْرًا [“ Postpone for us a month ”]; i. e., “ Postpone for us the sacredness of El-Mo- harram, and transfer it to Safar: ” for they disliked that three months during which they might not make predatory expeditions should come upon them consecutively, as their subsistence was obtained by such expeditions: so he made ElMoharram free from restriction to them. (S.) [But this, as appears from what is said in the Kur, ix. 37, was not done every year.] The tribes of Teiyi and Khath'am did not observe the sacred months; therefore the نَاسِئ (or postponer) proclaimed it lawful to slay them therein, when they were aggressors. (TA.) ― -b3- [The term نَسِىْء appears also to have been applied to The postponement of the time of the pilgrimage; which was another custom of the Pagan Arabs, mentioned under this word in the TA.] The Arabs, liking that the day of their return from pilgrimage should always be at one season of the year, postponed it every year eleven days; at the same time keeping sacred the two months in which the pilgrimage took place, and the month next after those two, and also the month of Rejeb, at whatever season this fell. (TA.) [For the same purpose, at one time, they used to intercalate a month in the third and sixth and eight of every eight years. See Kur, ix. 36, where the prohibition of this custom is implied; and Sale's Prel. Disc., § vii.]. ― -b4- See نَسْءٌ. ― -b5- نَسِىْءٌ (K, TA) and ↓ نَسِيْئَةٌ and ↓ نُسْأَةٌ, (S, K,) like كُلْأَةٌ, (S,) A postponement, or delay, as to the time of the payment of a debt, or of the price of a thing sold, &c. (S, K, TA.) The first is a subst.; (K;) and also an inf. n.; (L;) [and each of the others seems to be sometimes used as such]. ― -b6- ↓ بَاعَهُ بِنَسِيْئَةٍ, and ↓ بِنُسْأَةٍ, (as also بِكُلْأَةٍ, S,) He sold it on credit; for payment to be made at a future period. (S, K, TA.)

نَاسِئٌ ذ , pl. نَسَأَةٌ (S) and نَاسِئُونَ, (TA,) One whose office it was to perform the act called نَسِىْء; i. e., the postponing of a month: (S, TA:) he was also called قَلَمَّسٌ, pl. قَلَامِسُ. (TA.) -A2- نَاسِئٌ Anything fat: or beginning to grow fat: in the K it is said, كُلُّ نَاسِئٍ سَمِينٌ: in the L, كلّ سمين ناسئ, which is more proper. (TA.)

مَنْسَأَةٌ ذ : see 1. ― -b2- صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ مَثْرَاةٌ فِى المَالِ مَنْسَأَةٌ فِى الأَثَرِ [ Union with kindred is a means of multiplying wealth, a means of prolonging one's memorial ]. (TA, from a trad.) -A2- See مِنْسَأَةٌ.

مِنْسَأَةٌ ذ (S, K) and ↓ مَنْسَأَةٌ, (K,) and also without ء, (S, K,) A staff, or stick: so called because a beast is urged or driven with it: (K:) a pastor's great staff. (TA.) For مِنْسَأَتَهُ, in the Kur, xxxiv. 13, some read مِنْ سَأَتِهِ; i. e. “ from, or of, the end of his staff; ” سأَة originally signifying the “ bent part at each end of a bow; ” (Fr, TA, &c.;) and being here used tropically. (TA.) This reading is disapproved by the author of the K. but is supported by good authorities. (TA.)

مُنْتَسَأٌ ذ An interval; a distance; a space. (S.) اـِنَّ لِى عَنْكَ لَمُنْتَسَأٌ Verily I am far from thee. (S.)
