Nounبِضْعٌ2 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a number from three to nine; a part of the nightgenerated

1From three to nine [&c.] menبِضْعُ رِجَالٍ

And بَضْعٌ, some of the Arabs pronouncing it with kesr. A number under ten; and an odd number, meaning a number between two round, or decimal, numbers: from one to ten, and from eleven to twenty; so according to Mebremán, that is, Mohammad Ibn-'Alee Ibn-Ismá'eel the Lexicologist, Mebremán being his surname.

Or from three to nine, so according to Katádeh; or from three to less than ten, according to Fr, with the nouns of number in the masculine gender; or not less than three nor more than ten, according to Sh; or from three to ten, according to Mgh; or to seven, according to Mujáhid; or to five, according to AO; or from one to four, according to AO and O; or to five, an explanation ascribed to AO; or from four to nine, according to ISd, and this is the meaning Th preferred; or it means five, according to Mukátil; or seven, according to Mukátil and to some others; or ten, according to Ed-Dahhák.

Or an undefined number: غَيْرُ مَحْدُودٍ, so says Sgh; in the K, wrongly, غَيْرُ مَعْدُودٍ, because it means a portion, which is undefined. It also means, with ten, in the same way: from thirteen to nineteen.

from three to nine [&c.] womenبِضْعُ نِسْوَةٍ
from three to nine [&c.] yearsبِضْعُ سِنِينَ
[in from three to nine, &c., years]فِى بِضْعِ سِنِينَ
[And he remained in the prison from three to nine, &c., years]فَلَبِثَ فِى السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ

When it means from three to nine, or to ten, or to seven, or some number under ten without another noun of number, it is used unchanged for both masculine and feminine. One says:

Qur'ān 30:3.

Qur'ān 12:42.

From thirteen to nineteen [&c.] menبِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا

But when it denotes a number above ten, with a masculine noun it takes بِضْعَة ة, and with a feminine noun it is without ة. One says:

from thirteen to nineteen [&c.] womenبِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ ٱمْرَأَةً

Just as one says ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا and ثَلَاثَ عَشْرةَ ٱمْرَأَةً.

Twenty and odd menبِضْعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا

Once past the word for ten, that is, for a number above twenty, it is not used: one does not say بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ, but نَيِّفٌ وَعِشْرُونَ, and likewise with the remaining numbers; or one does say بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ. According to AZ one says:

twenty and odd womenبِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ٱمْرَأَةً

But not the reverse. ISd says: we have not heard this, but there is no objection to it. Fr says that بِضْعٌ is not mentioned except with ten and with twenty up to ninety, not with what exceeds this: one does not say بِضْعٌ وَمِائَةٌ nor بِضْعٌ وَأَلْفٌ, but مِائَةٌ وَنَيِّفٌ and أَلْفٌ وَنَيِّفٌ. It occurs in traditions with عِشْرُونَ and with ثَلَاثُونَ.

And of the two, to that one whom he consider about to be saved, he said: "Mention me to thy lord." But Satan made him forget to mention him to his lord: and (Joseph) lingered in prison a few (more) years.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1[A part, or portion, of the night passed]مَضَى بِضْعٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ

بِضْعٌ and بَضْعٌ also mean a part, or portion, of the night; a time of it. One says:

J mentions it with ص in place of ض, and explains it by جَوْشٌ.

Qur’ānic occurrences بِضْع

وَقَالَ لِلَّذِى ظَنَّ أَنَّهُۥ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا ٱذْكُرْنِى عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَىٰهُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِى ٱلسِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ

And of the two, to that one whom he consider about to be saved, he said: "Mention me to thy lord." But Satan made him forget to mention him to his lord: and (Joseph) lingered in prison a few (more) years.

30:4
فِى بِضْعِ سِنِينَ ۗ لِلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ مِن قَبْلُ وَمِنۢ بَعْدُ ۚ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
