(see أَزَلِىٌّ)]: or, accord. to some, from أَزْلٌ signifying “narrowness;” because the intellect is prevented by its narrowness from perceiving its beginning: (MF:) ازل is a name for that of which the mind is prevented by its narrowness from determining the limit of the beginning; from أَزْلٌ meaning “narrowness;”; and ابد is a name for that of which the mind shrinks from, or shuns, the determining the limit of the end; from أُبُودٌ meaning the act of “shrinking” from a thing, or “shunning” it. (Kull pp. 30 and 31.) Hence the saying, كَانَ فِى الأَزَلِ قَادِرًا عَالِمًا [ He was, or has been, ever, powerful, knowing ]. (A, TA.) The phrase أَزَلَ الاآزَالِ [ During the space, without beginning, of all past times; or ever, in all past times; ] is like the phrase أَبَدَ الاآبَادِ; said to be no evidence of the use of اآزَالٌ as a pl. of أَزَلٌ in a general way by the Arabs of the classical ages, as it is here added merely as a corroborative. (MF in art. ابد.) [See also أَزَلِىٌّ.]

أَزِلٌ ذ : see اآزِلٌ.

أَزَلِىٌّ ذ [ Eternal, with respect to past time; existing from eternity; or ancient without beginning; as is implied in the S and K &c.;] a thing, or being, which has not been preceded by non-existence: it is applied to God: and to [his] knowledge: that which exists must be one of three kinds only: أَزَلِىٌّ أَبَدِىٌّ [ existing from eternity, and consequently existing to eternity ]; and this is God [who is also called القَدِيمُ الأَزَلِىُّ the Ancient without beginning ]: and لَا أَزَلِىٌّ وَ لَا أَبَدِىٌّ [ not existing from eternity nor existing to eternity ]; and such is the present world: and أَبَدِىٌّ غَيْرُ أَزَلِىّ [ existing to eternity without existing from eternity ]; and such is the world to come; the reverse of which [last] is impossible: (TA:) it is a rel. n. from أَزَلٌ: or, accord. to some, it is not [genuine] Arabic: (TA:) or it is originally يَزَلِىٌّ, a rel. n. from لَمْ يَزَلْ, (S, K,) a phrase applied to that which is قَدِيم; and is formed by contraction; (S;) then, the ى is changed into ا, as being easier of pronunciation; as in أَزَنِىٌّ, applied to a spear, in relation to ذُو يَزَن; (S, K,* Sgh, TA;) and as in أَثْرَبِىٌّ, applied to a blade, (S, Sgh, TA,) in relation to يَثْرِب: (TA:) so say some of the learned. (S.)

أَزَلِيَّةٌ ذ The quality, or attribute, of أَزَلٌ [ eternity, with respect to past time, &c.]: but it is a forged term, not of the [genuine] language of the Arabs. (A, TA.)

سَنَةٌ أَزُولٌ ذ A severe, distressful, calamitous, or adverse, year: pl. أُزْلٌ. (K.)
