(K.) It is said in a trad., المُجْذِيَةِ ↓ مَثَلُ الكَافِرِ مَثَلُ الأَرْزَةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ اآنْجِعَافُهَا بِمَرَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ [ The similitude of the unbeliever is the similitude of the pine-tree standing firmly upon the ground until it is pulled up at once ]: respecting which AA and AO say that it is ↓ الأَرَزَة, with fet-h to the ر; meaning the tree called الأَرْزَن: but A 'Obeyd thinks this to be a mistake, and that it is ↓ الأَرْزَة, with the ر quiescent.

أَرْضٌ ذ The making mischief; or exciting disorder, disturbance, disagreement, discord, dissension, strife, or quarrelling; [like تَأْرِيشٌ; see 2, and see also 1;] syn. فَسَادٌ [in the sense of اـِفْسَادٌ]; (Msb;) and اـِغْرَاآءٌ. (K.) ― -b2- Disagreement, discord, or dissension; and contention, or altercation: you say, بَيْنَهُمَا أَرْشٌ Between them two is disagreement, &c. (K.) -A2- A fine, or mulct, for a wound: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) from the first of the significations in this paragraph; (Msb;) or from its being one of the causes of contention, or altercation; or, accord. to AM, from the same word as inf. n. of أَرُوشٌ in the first of the senses explained in this art.; accord. to IF, originally هَرْشٌ: (TA:) pl. أُرُوشٌ. (Mgh, Msb.) Hence the saying mentioned by IAar, اِنْتَظِرْنِى حَتَّى تَعْقِلَ فَلَيْسَ لَكَ عِنْدَنَا أَرْشٌ اـِلَّا الأَسِنَّةُ [ Wait thou for me until thou accept a fine for a wound in lieu of retaliation; for thou hast no compensation for a wound to receive from us except the spearheads ]: meaning, thou shalt not slay a man for whom we will ever give bloodwit.

(L, * TA.)

الأَرْضُ ذ [ The earth; ] that whereon are mankind: (TA:) [and earth, as opposed to heaven: and the ground, as meaning the surface of the earth, on which we tread and sit and lie; and the floor: without ال signifying a land, or country: and a piece of land or ground: and land, or soil, or ground, considered in relation to its quality: ] it is fem.: (S, A, Msb, K:) and is a coll. gen. n.; (S, A, K;) of which the n. un. should be أَرْضَةٌ, but this they did not say: (S:) or a pl. having no sing.; (A, K;) for أَرْضَةٌ has not been heard: (K:) its pl. is أَرَضَاتٌ, (S, K,) in [some of] the copies of the K أَرْضَاتٌ, (TA,) for they sometimes form the pl. of a word which has not the fem. ة with ا and ت, as in the instance of عُرُسَاتٌ; (S;) and أَرَضُونَ, [which is more common,] (AZ, AHn, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) with fet-h to the ر, (AZ, AHn, Mgh, Msb,) and with و and ن, though a fem. has not its pl. formed [regularly] with و and ن unless it is of the defective kind, like ثُبَةٌ and ظُبَةٌ, but they have made the و and ن [in this instance] a substitute for the ا and ت which they have elided [from أَرَضَاتٌ], and have left the fet-hah of the ر as it was; (S;) but they also said أَرْضُونَ, (AZ, AHn, S,) sometimes, making the ر quiescent; (S;) and أُرُوضٌ (AZ, AHn, Msb, K) is sometimes used as a pl., as in the saying مَا أَكْثَرَ أُرُوضَ بَنِى فُلَانٍ [ How many are the lands of the sons of such a one! ]; (TA;) and another [and very common] pl. is [أَرَاضٍ, with the article written] الأَرَاضِى, contr. to rule, (S, Msb, K,) as though they had formed a pl. from اآرُضٌ; (S;) thus written in all the copies of the S; [accord. to SM; but in one copy of the S, I find كَأَنَّهُمْ جَمَعُوا ااراضًا; and in another, ارضًا;] and in one copy [is added], “ thus it is found in his [J's] handwriting; ” but IB says that correctly he should have said أَرْضَى, like أَرْطَى; for as to اآرُضٌ, its regular pl. would be أَوَارِضُ; and [SM says] I have found it observed in a marginal note to the S that the pl. of اآرُضٌ would be أَاآرِضُ, like as أَكَالِبُ is pl. of أَكْلُبٌ; and wherefore did he not say that الاراضى is a pl. of an unused sing., like لَيَالٍ and أَهَالٍ, so that it is as though it were pl. of أَرْضَاةٌ, like as لَيَالٍ is pl. of لَيْلَاةٌ? yet if any one should propose the plea that it may be formed by transposition from أَاآرِضُ, he would not say what is improbable; its measure being in this case أَعَالِفُ; the word being أَرَاضِئُ, and the ء being changed into ى: (TA:) accord. to Abu-l-Khattáb, (S,) اآرَاضٌ is also a pl. of أَرْضٌ, (S, K,) like as اآهَالٌ is a pl. of أَهْلٌ; (S;) but IB says that, in the opinion of the critics, the truth with respect to what is related on the authority of Abu-l-Khattáb is, that from أَرْضٌ and أَهْلٌ are formed أَرَاضٍ and أَهَالٍ, as though they were pls. of أَرْضَاةٌ and أَهْلَاةٌ; like as they said لَيْلَةٌ and لَيَال, as though this were pl. of لَيْلَاةٌ. (TA.) It is said in proverbs, أَجْمَعُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [ More comprehensive than the earth ]: (TA:) and اآمَنُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [ More trustworthy than the earth, in which treasures are securely buried]: and أَشَدُّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [ Harder than the earth, or ground ]: (A, TA:) and أَذَلُّ مِنَ الأَرْضِ [ More vile, or more submissive, than the earth, or ground ]. (TA.) And you say, مَنْ أَطَاعَنِى كُنْتُ لَهُ أَرْضَا (tropical:) [ Whoso obeyeth me, I will be to him as ground whereon one treads]; denoting submissiveness. (A, TA.) And فُلَانٌ اـِنٌ ضُرِبَ فَأَرْضٌ (tropical:) [ Such one, if he be beaten, is like ground ]; i. e. he cares not for beating. (A, TA.) One says also, لَا أَرْضَ لَكَ [ Mayest thou have no land, or country! or thou hast no land, or country ]; like as one says, لَا أُمَّ لَكَ. (S, K,) ― -b2- [And hence,] هُوَ ابْنُ أَرْضٍ He is a stranger, (A, K, TA,) of whom neither father nor mother is known. (TA.) ― -b3- اِبْنُ الأَرْضِ [with the art. ال prefixed to the latter word] is A certain plant, (AHn, K,) which comes forth upon the summits of the [ hills called ] اآكَام, having a stem (أَصْل), but not growing tall, (AHn,) which resembles hair, and is eaten, (AHn, K,) and quickly dries up; (AHn;) a species of بَقْل, as also بِنْتُ الأَرْضِ: (S in art. بنى:) and بَنَاتُ الأَرْضِ plants: (M in art. بسر:) and the places which are concealed from the pastor. (S in that art.) Also The pool that is left by a torrent: (T in art. بنى:) and بَنَاتُ الأَرْضِ pools in which are remains of water: (IAar in TA art. بسر:) and rivulets. (T in art. بنى.) ― -b4- أَرْضٌ is also used to signify (assumed tropical:) A carpet; or anything that is spread: and in this sense, in poetry, it is sometimes made masc. (Msb.) ― -b5- And (assumed tropical:) Anything that is low. (S, K.) And (tropical:) The lower, or lowest, part of the legs of a horse or the like: (S, K:) or the legs of a camel or of a horse or the like: and the part that is next to the ground thereof. (TA.) You say بَعِيرٌ شَدِيدُ الأَرْضِ (tropical:) A camel strong in the legs. (TA.) And فَرَسٌ بَعِيدٌ مَا بَيْمَ أَرْضِهِ وَسَمَائِهِ (tropical:) A horse that is large and tall.

(TA.) -A2- A febrile shivering; a tremor: (S, K:) or vertigo: or it signifies also vertigo arising from a relaxed state, and occasioning a defluxion from the nose and eyes. (TA.) I'Ab is related to have said, on the occasion of an earthquake, أَزُلْزِلَتِ الأَرْضُ أَمْ بِى أَرْضٌ, (S,) i. e. [ Hath the earth been made to quake, or is there in me ] a tremor? or a vertigo? (TA.) [أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ signifies A certain class of the jinn, or genii; by whom human beings are believed to be possessed, and affected by an involuntary tremor; whence it seems that this appellation may perhaps be from أَرْضٌ as signifying “ a tremor. ” See مَأْرُوضٌ: and see خَبَلٌ, as explained in the S.] ― -b2- [...]
