1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhe committed against him a crime, or an offence for which he should be punished—جَنَى عَلَيْهِ
. Also said of a crime committed against his people, or party; and جاناهُ [or جانى قَوْمِهِ] is used in the same way, and he brought an injury upon him, or them. Mentioned in the article جر.
he committed against him a crime, or an offence for which he should be punished—عَلَى قَوْمِهِ
he committed the crime, offence, or injurious action against him—جَنَى الذَّنْبِ عَلَيْهِ
with kesr; the same as جَرَّهُ إِلَيْهِ. [See art. جر.]
Er-Rāghib: used in this way the verb is also figurative, from جَنَى الثَّمَرَةَ.
he brought to pass an evil thing or action—جَنَى شَرًّا
[See also جِنَايَةٌ below.]
[An injurer shall not bring injury except on himself]—لَا يَجْنِى جَانٍ إِلَّا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ
Said in a tradition. It means that a man is not prosecuted for an injurious action committed by another, whether a relation of his or not.
And a poet says, which may be rendered: Your injurer whom you should punish is he who brings an injury upon you; but sometimes the mangy camels infect the sound ones so that these become mangy, and so a criminal sometimes brings punishment upon his relations.
shāhid 1جَانِيكَ مَنْ يَجْنِى عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْتُعْدِي الصِّجَاحَ فَتَجْرَبُ الجُرْبُ
A'Obeyd says that جانيك من يجنى عليك is a proverb applied to the case of a man who is punished for an injurious action, because brothers sometimes bring injury upon a man by causing him to be punished for an injurious action which they themselves have committed, as the second half of the verse above indicates.
But AHeyth says that this proverb means الجَانِى لَكَ الخَيْرَ مَنْ يَجْنِى عَلَيْكَ الشَّرَّ [The person bringing you good is he who brings, or will bring, evil upon you]; perhaps meant as a caution, for the Arabs often suspect that a benefactor has some evil intention. He cites the hemistich: [Sometimes the places where the mangy camels lie down, which benefit other camels, infect the sound ones]
shāhid 2تُعْدِي الصِّحَاحَ مَبَارِكُ الجُرْبِ
[You have brought this as an injury upon yourself]—جَنَيْتَ هٰذَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

(TA.) One says also, جَنَاهَا لَهُ and جَنَاهُ إِيَّاهَا [He gathered it, plucked it, or took it from the tree, for him]. (A'Obeyd, K.) And جَنَيْتُكَ أَكْمُؤًا [I gathered for thee truffles]. (TA.) And جَنَى ذَهَبًا He collected gold from its mine. (TA.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb uses this verb metaphorically, in the phrase جَنَى العُلَى , meaning [He acquired] eminence, or nobility. (TA.) You also say, جَنَى عَلَيْهِ , (S,) or عَلَى قَوْمِهِ , (Msb,) inf. n. جِنَايَةٌ , (S, Msb,) He committed, [against him, or] against his people, or party, a crime, or an offence for which he should be punished; (Msb;) as also جاناهُ [or جانى قَوْمِهِ ]: (TK in art. جر :) [and he brought an injury upon him, or them:] and جَنَى الذَّنْبِ عَلَيْهِ , aor. جَنِىَ , inf. n. جِنَايَةٌ , (K,) with kesr, (TA,) He committed the crime, offence, or injurious action, against him; syn. جَرَّهُ إِلَيْهِ : (K: [see art. جر :]) thus used, also, the verb is metaphorical, from جَنَى الثَّمَرَةَ : (Er-Rághib, TA:) and so in the phrase, جَنَى شَرًّا , meaning He brought to pass an evil thing or action. (Mgh.) [See also جِنَايَةٌ , below.] It is said in a trad., لَا يَجْنِى جَانٍ إِلَّا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ [An injurer shall not bring injury save on himself]; meaning that one shall not be prosecuted for an injurious action committed by another, of his relations or of others. (TA.) And a poet says, 1 [which may be rendered, Thine injurer whom thou shouldst punish is he who brings an injury upon thee: but sometimes the mangy camels infect the sound ones so that these become mangy; and thus a criminal sometimes brings punishment upon his relations: for] A'Obeyd says that جانيك من يجنى عليك is a prov. applied to the case of a man who is punished for an injurious action; because brothers [sometimes] bring injury upon a man [by occasioning his being punished for an injurious action which they have themselves committed], as the latter hemistich of the verse cited above indicates: but AHeyth says that this prov. means الجَانِى لَكَ الخَيْرَ مَنْ يَجْنِى عَلَيْكَ الشَّرَّ [The person bringing thee good is he who brings, or will bring, upon thee evil: perhaps intended as a caution; for the Arabs often suspect that a benefactor has some evil intention]: and he cites the following hemistich: 2 [meaning Sometimes the places where the mangy camels lie down, and which afford benefit to other camels, infect the sound ones]. (TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov., i. 298.]) You say also, جَنَيْتَ هٰذَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ [Thou hast brought this as an injury upon thyself]. (K in art. جل .) جَانِيكَ مَنْ يَجْنِى عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ | تُعْدِي الصِّجَاحَ فَتَجْرَبُ الجُرْبُ تُعْدِي الصِّحَاحَ مَبَارِكُ الجُرْبِ
