Core sense — he cut it off; he was fortunate; he was serious, or in earnestgenerated

1.1he cut off a piece of cloth [enough for a garment or the like, from the web]—جَدَّ ثَوْبًا

he cut off the fruit of the palm-trees—جَدَّ النَّخْلَ

Said of a weaver.

maṣdars جَدٌّ and جَدَادٌ and جِدَادٌ. In one lexicon the last two are given as maṣdars, and the first of them is so given in another; but elsewhere they are given only as synonymous with جَدٌّ, and elsewhere again it seems to be implied that they are simple nouns, or quasi-maṣdars. The phrase is the same as صَرَمَهُ [like جَذَّهُ and جَزَّهُ]. See also جَدَادٌ.

the she-camel's teats were cut off—جُدَّتْ أَخْلَافُ النَّاقَةِ

By some accident that befell her: or as a result of injury caused to her by the صِرَار [q. v.].

1.2it was new—جَدَّ

.

Said of a garment, or of a thing: [as though newly cut off from the web;] from جَدَّ, meaning "he cut", or "he cut off". See also form 5.

1.3figurative · مجازhe was, or became, fortunate, possessed of good fortune; he advanced in worldly circumstances—جَدَّ

Like تَعِبَ; second person جَدِدٌتَ [like its synonym حَظِظْتَ], or جُدَّ with damm; second person جُدِدْتَ.

he was fortunate by the affair, or event, whether good or evil—بِالأَمْرِ
he was fortunate by the thing—بِالشَّىْءِ
they became possessed of good fortune, and riches, or sufficiency—هُمْ يُجَدُّونَ بِهِمْ

Ibn-Buzurj: يُحَظُّونَ بهم is used in the same way.

One also says جَدَّ جَدُّهُ, so in one copy: probably a miswriting for جَدَّ جِدُّهُ, which comes below. If not, it would mean: his fortune became good; or his good fortune increased in goodness; or perhaps his dignity became great, from what follows.

1.4he was, or became, great, of great dignity, in my eyes, or in the eyes and minds of men—جَدّ فِى عَيْنِى

Also written فِى عُيُونِ النَّاسِ and صُدُورِهِمْ.

[A man of us, when he recited the chapter of the Cow and that of the Family of ʿImrān (chapters 2 and 3 of the Qurʾān),] used to be great in our eyes—كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا إِذَا قَرَأَ البَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ جَدَّ فِينَا

Occurs in a tradition of Anas.

1.5he was serious, or in earnest, in the affair, or in his speech—جَدَّ فِى الأَمْرِ

Also فِى أَمْرِهِ, or فِى كَلَامِهِ, or جَدٌّ, جِدٌّ being a simple noun; and اجدّ فِيهِ.

Synonymous with حَقَّقَ, the opposite of هَزَلَ. Elsewhere the maṣdar is said to mean the opposite of هَزْلٌ, and also to be synonymous with تَحْقِيقٌ.

1.5.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe strove, laboured, or toiled; he exerted himself, or his power and efforts, in the affair—جَدَّ فِى الأَمْرِ

or this is a simple noun and the maṣdar is جَدٌّ; and اجدّ فيه has the same meaning: he was diligent, or studious; he took pains, or extraordinary pains.

he exerted himself in going, or journeying, or in his pace; he hastened in it—جَدَّفِى السَّيْرِ
he hastened his course, or pace—اجدّ السَّيْرَ
his labour, or exertion, or energy, was, or became, great, or extraordinary—جَدَّ جِدُّهُ

Or it means اِزْدَادَ جِدُّهُ جِدًّا [his labour and the like increased in labour]: or it may mean that what was not his جِدّ became جِدّ, and is so called here because it would be so eventually. See also جَدَّ جَدُّهُ above.

1.5.2figurative · مجازthe affair, or event, distressed, or afflicted, him—جَدَّ بِهِ الأَمْرُ

Aboo-Sahm says: [O Khálid, his Lord will not approve of the servant, or man, (meaning the son,) when cutting, or biting, disobedience to a parent distresses the old man]

3.1he contended with him about a thing, each of them asserting his right in it—حَاقَّهٌ

the same as حَاقَقَهُ.

This follows the explanations given of حاقّهُ in the lexicons; but I think the meaning intended here is that he acted seriously, or in earnest, with him in the affair, and this is supported by the immediate addition, after حاققه, that أَجَدَّ means حَقَّقَ, as mentioned above. See جَدَّفِى الأَمْرِ, explained by حَقَّقَ as the opposite of هَزَلَ.

Also: he exerted his full effort, or endeavour, or energy, with him in the affair, according to an explanation of the maṣdar مجادَة.

Fortune, and particularly good fortune, in the world, or in worldly circumstances; advance in the world. Synonymous with حَظٌّ and بَخْتٌ. Plurals: جُدُودٌ (of many) and أَجْدَادٌ and أَجُدٌّ (of few).

From a prayer: in the world to come it will not profit him in place of You, that is, in place of obedience to You; see art. مِنْ: or in place of the good fortune that comes from You: or, as some say, it will not defend him from You.

Hence أَجَدَّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ [or أَجَدِّكَ]; and, according to some, وَجَدِّكَ: see جِدٌّ.

And in a prayer, (L,) لَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الجَدِّ مِنْكَ الجَدُّ The good worldly fortune of him who is possessed of such fortune will not profit him, (Mgh, L,) in the world to come, (L,) in lieu of Thee; (Mgh, L; *) i. e., of obedience to Thee: (Mgh, and Mughnee in art. مِنْ :) or in lieu of the good fortune that cometh from Thee: or, as some say, will not defend him from Thee.

One's lot in life; and the means of subsistence that one receives from the bounty of God. (L, K.) One says, لِفُلَانٍ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ جَدٌّ Such a one has in this thing, or state of affairs, means of subsistence. (A'Obeyd, L.) Richness; competence, or sufficiency; or the state of being in no need, or of having no wants, or of having few wants. (S, L, Msb.) لا ينفع ذا الجدّ منك الجدّ , [explained above, is said to mean] Riches, &c., will not profit the possessor thereof with Thee; for nothing will profit him but acting in obedience to Thee: منك here signifies عِنْدَكَ .

Core sense — seriousness, or earnestness; striving, or diligence; hastegenerated

1there are three things in which what is serious is serious and what is jesting is also serious—ثَلَاثٌ جِدُّهُنَّ جِدٌّ وَهَزْلُهُنَّ جِدٌّ

According to some a maṣdar, according to others a simple noun: see جَدَّ.

Seriousness, or earnestness, the opposite of هَزْلٌ, in speech.

does this come from you in seriousness, or in earnest?—أَجِدَّكَ

A saying of Mohammad, by which he forbade a man to divorce, emancipate, or marry and then retract, saying "I was jesting", as was the custom in the time of paganism.

أَجَدَّكَ means the same, but the former is the more chaste; جِدّ and جَدّ are used in this way only as prefixed nouns.

As says that the meaning is أَبِجِدٍّ مِنْكَ هٰذَا [Does this come from you in earnest?], and that جِدّ is in the accusative because the preposition ب has been dropped.

AA says that the meaning is مَا لَكَ أَجِدًّا مِنْكَ [What is the matter with you? Does it come from you in earnest?], and that جدّ is in the accusative as a maṣdar.

Th says that as it occurs in poetry the phrase is أَجِدَّكَ, with kesr; but when it occurs with وَ in the place of أَ, or with أَ in the sense of وَ as a particle of swearing, it is وَجَدِّكَ [or أَجَدِّكَ], with fet-h.

by your grandfather, do not do such a thing—وَجَدِّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ

Also written وَجَدَّكَ. Or the meaning is: by your fortune, or good fortune, do not.

I adjure you by your truth, and by your seriousness, or earnestness, do not—أَجِدَّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ

Or أَجِدِّكَ; for أَ (q. v.) is substituted for a particle of swearing, as in أَللّٰهِ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ.

I adjure you by your fortune, or good fortune, do not—أَجَدَّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ

Or أَجَدِّكَ.

is it in earnest on your part that you will not do such a thing?—اجدّك لا تَفْعَلُ

Aboo-ʿAlee Esh-Shalowbeenee asserts that it implies the meaning of an oath.

AAF says that لا تفعل may be regarded as standing in the place of a ḥāl; or the phrase may be originally اجدّك أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلَ, ان being suppressed and its government annulled.

So it may be rendered, in the first case, Is it in earnest on your part, you doing such a thing? and in the second, Is it in earnest on your part that you will not do such a thing? that is, do you mean seriously that you will not do it? Or here اجدّك may be used as a form of adjuration in one of the senses explained above, and لَا تَفْعَلُ may mean, that you do not do such a thing; or اجدّك may mean وَجَدَّكَ, explained above, and لَا تَفْعَلُ you will not do it.

AHei says there is a fine point here: the pronoun to which جدّ is prefixed should agree in person with the verb that follows it, so that one says اجدِّى لَا أُكْرِمُكَ and اجدّكَ لَا تَفْعَلُ and اجدّهُ لَا يَزُورُنَا, because جدّ is a maṣdar corroborating the statement that follows it.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredin a great, or an extraordinary, degree; greatly, exceedingly, very much—جِدًّا

According to some a maṣdar, according to others a simple noun: see جَدَّ again.

such a one is beneficent in a great, or an extraordinary, degree—فُلَانٌ مُحْسِنٌ جِدًّا

A striving, labour, or toil; exertion of oneself, or of one's power or efforts or ability; vigour, diligence, studiousness, earnestness, or energy; painstaking, or extraordinary painstaking; in affairs, or in an affair.

You should not say جَدًّا. In one copy the reading is محسن جدّا بالفتح, but the context shows that something has been left out, and that after جدّا we should read وَلَا تَقُلْ جَدًّا.

جِدًّا, in a phrase of this kind, is in the accusative as a maṣdar whose verb is understood; so in the example above the proper meaning is يَجِدُّ فِى الإِحْسَانِ جِدًّا, striving in beneficence with a great striving. This is because it is not from the same root as the preceding word, nor identical with it in meaning.

in this is a very, or an extremely, great danger, or risk—فِى هٰذَا خَطَرٌ جِدَّ عَظِيمٍ

Meaning عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا.

this is the learned man, the extremely learned man—هٰذا العَالِمُ جِدَّ العَالِمِ
this is a learned man, an extremely learned man—هٰذَا عَالِمٌ جِدَّ عَالِمٍ

Also: done seriously, or in earnest, with no jesting in it, and excessive; the same as مُحَقَّقٌ مُبَالَغٌ فِيهِ, meaning مُحَقَّقٌ فِيهِ وَمُبَالَغٌ فِيهِ; جِدٌّ is used in this way as an adjective with an intensive meaning because it is originally a maṣdar, or, as some say, a simple noun.

Applied in this sense to a punishment, and also applied to a pace. See art. نص.

أَبِى حُبِّى سُلَيْمَى أَنْ يَبِيدَاوَأَمْسَى حَبْلُهَا خَلَقًا جَدِيدَا

Since جديد means "new" more commonly than "cut", this verse appears as though it involved a contradiction.

1.1

Applied to a garment, or a piece of cloth [enough for a garment or the like]: newly cut off from the web by the weaver.

Used without ة when applied to a مِلْحَفَة; it is applied thus to a feminine noun because it is synonymous with مَجْدُودَةٌ; or, according to Sb, because by ملحفة in this case is meant إِزَار, and for a like reason in like cases; but one also says جَدِيدَةٌ. According to some, جديد is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure فَاعِلٌ, and therefore the ة is regularly added to it. The plural is جُدُدٌ (Mbr) and جُدَدٌ (AZ, A'Obeyd, Mbr), but the first is the more common.

1.2their old worn-out garments became replaced by new ones—أَصْبَحَتْ خَلَقُهُمْ جُدُدًا

And hence, applied to a garment, or to a thing: new; the opposite of قَدِيمٌ, or the opposite of خَلَقٌ, from جِدَّةٌ as the opposite of بِلًى. Plurals: أَجِدَّةٌ (of few) and جُدُدٌ and جُدَدٌ (of many).

A phrase mentioned by Lh, meaning خُلْقَانُهُمْ جُدُدًا; or جُدُدًا may here stand for جَدِيدًا.

1.3I will not do it while the day and the night succeed each other—لَا أَفْعَلُهُ مَا ٱخْتَلَفَ الجَدِيدَانِ

And hence الجَدِيدَانِ and الأَجَدَّانِ: the night and the day; because they never become impaired by time.

Also الأَجَدَّانِ; or مَا كَرَّ الجَدِيدَانِ and الأَجَدَّانِ, meaning while the day and the night return time after time, that is, ever.

1.4

Hence likewise, جَدِيدٌ also means a thing of which one has had no knowledge.

1.5

And hence الجَدِيدُ means death, or is applied as an adjective to death, in the dialect of Hudheyl. According to Akh and El-Mugháfis El-Báhilee, جَدِيدُ المَوْتِ means the commencement of death.

2

Also the face, or surface, of the earth, or ground, [as though it were cut;] and so جَدَدٌ and جِدَّةٌ and جَدٌّ and جِدٌّ.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ

Seest thou not that Allah created the heavens and the earth in Truth? If He so will, He can remove you and put (in your place) a new creation?

17:49
وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا وَرُفَـٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ خَلْقًا جَدِيدًا

They say: "What! when we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up (to be) a new creation?"

32:10
وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا ضَلَلْنَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِى خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍۭ ۚ بَلْ هُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ

And they say: "What! when we lie, hidden and lost, in the earth, shall we indeed be in a Creation renewed? Nay, they deny the Meeting with their Lord.

35:16
إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ

If He so pleased, He could blot you out and bring in a New Creation.

50:15
أَفَعَيِينَا بِٱلْخَلْقِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ

Were We then weary with the first Creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new Creation?
