Form 1خَتَمَهُ11 senses · 1 main
muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarخَتْمٌ

Core sense — he sealed it, he stamped it; he reached the end of itgenerated

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe sealed it, or stamped it—طَبَعَهُ

maṣdar خَتْمٌ and خِتَامٌ with kesr, [in the CK, erroneously, خَتَام].

Or he put the خَاتَم [or signet] on it: on a thing, or on a writing or book and the like.

he put a seal, or the impression of a signet, on it—خَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ

Er-Rāghib: خَتْمٌ and طَبْعٌ mean impressing a thing with the engraving of the signet and stamp. The first of the two is used figuratively, sometimes for securing oneself from a thing and protecting oneself from it, since writings and doors are protected by sealing; sometimes for producing an impression, or effect, on a thing from another thing, in view of the impress made; and sometimes for reaching the end of a thing.

Or the primary meaning of خَتْمٌ is covering a thing over.

Zj: the proper meaning of خَتْمٌ and طَبْعٌ is covering a thing over and securing oneself from anything entering it. Some say the first means concealing a notification of a thing, [as] by putting one's fingers over it, to guard oneself by that means.

1.1.1the sealing of the testimony—خَتْمُ الشَّهَادَةِ

El-Ḥulwānee describes it: the witness, when he had written his name on a صَكّ [q. v.], put his written name under a piece of lead, covering it, and set the impress of his signet on it, so that it could not be falsified or replaced.

1.1.2the sealing of the necks—خَتْمُ الأَعْنَاقِ

The case is related in the “Risāleh Yoosufeeyeh” to have been this: 'Omar sent Ibn-Ḥoneyf to seal the عُلُوج [or unbelievers] of the Sawād, and he sealed five hundred thousand of them in classes; that is, he marked them at twelve dirhems, at twenty-four, and at forty-eight, tying a thong on the neck of each and putting a seal of lead on the knot.

1.1.3protecting what is in a writing by marking, or stamping, a piece of clay [on it, or by means of a seal of any kind]—خَتْمٌ
1.1.4figurative · مجازhe sealed his door against you—خَتَمَ عَلَيْكَ بَابَهُ

Said of a man: it means he turned away from you, avoided you, or shunned you.

1.1.5figurative · مجازhe sealed his door for you—خَتَمَ لَكَ بَابَهُ

It means he preferred you to others.

1.1.6figurative · مجازhe sealed his heart—خَتَمَ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ

That is, he made him such that he did not understand, and such that nothing came from him; or he made his heart, or mind, such that it did not understand, and so on.

خَتَمَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ in the Kur-ān [2:6] is like the phrase in the same book [16:110 and 47:18] طَبَعَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ. It points to what God has made to be usually the case when a man has ended in believing what is false and in doing what is forbidden, so that he does not turn his face to the truth; the result is that he becomes used to approving acts of disobedience, so that he is as though this habit were impressed on his heart. El-Jubbāee's claim that it means God has put a seal on their hearts, as a sign to the angels of their unbelief, is worthless. Er-Rāghib.

IAar explains الخَتْمُ as the preventing of the heart from believing. [See also طَبَعَ.]

1.1.7figurative · مجاز — inferredhe reached the end of the thing—خَتَمَ الشَّىْءَ

.

I ended, or finished, the thing—اِخْتَتَمْتُ الشَّىْءَ

The opposite of اِفْتَتَحْتُهُ.

he reached the end of the Kur-ān in reciting it—خَتَمَ القُرْآنَ

He recited the whole of the Kur-ān; he completed the recital of it. Also: he retained in his memory the last portion of the Kur-ān, meaning he retained the whole of it in his memory.

he used to recite the whole of the Kur-ān—كَانَ يَقْرَأُ خَتْمًا

Said of Suleymān El-Aamash: at one time according to the reading of Ibn-Mes'ood, at another from the edition of 'Othmān.

1.1.8figurative · مجاز — inferredmay God make his end good—خَتَمَ ٱللّٰهُ لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ
1.1.9figurative · مجاز — inferredhe covered over the sown seed—خَتَمَ البَذْرَ
they turned up the earth over the sown seed and then watered it—خَتَمُوا عَلَى البَذْرِ
he watered the seed-produce, or sown field, the first time—خَتَمَ الزَّرْعَ

Et-Ṭāʾifee.

.

So called because, when it is watered, it is finished with the رحا [apparently رَحَا, which here seems to mean the roller, as being likened to a mill-stone, though I find no authority for this meaning].

خَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ has the same meaning.

they watered their sown fields while these were still bare—خَتَمُوا عَلَى زُرُوعِهِمْ

كِرَاب apparently means clear of vegetation.

1.1.10figurative · مجازthe bees filled with honey the place where they deposited it—خَتَمَ النَّحْلُ

Or خَتْمٌ means the bees' collecting some thin wax, thinner than the wax of the comb, and smearing the openings of their خَلَايَا [or hives] with it.

Qur’ānic occurrences Form 1
2:7
خَتَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِمْ ۖ وَعَلَىٰٓ أَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ غِشَـٰوَةٌ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).

6:46
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ سَمْعَكُمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرَكُمْ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِكُم مَّنْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ ۗ ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ ثُمَّ هُمْ يَصْدِفُونَ

Say: "Think ye, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who - a god other than Allah - could restore them to you?" See how We explain the signs by various (symbols); yet they turn aside.

36:65
ٱلْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰٓ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَآ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ

That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths. But their hands will speak to us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did.

42:24
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۖ فَإِن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ ۗ وَيَمْحُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْبَـٰطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ ٱلْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

What! Do they say, "He has forged a falsehood against Allah"? But if Allah willed, He could seal up thy heart. And Allah blots out Vanity, and proves the Truth by His Words. For He knows well the secrets of all hearts.

45:23
أَفَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَـٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِۦ وَقَلْبِهِۦ وَجَعَلَ عَلَىٰ بَصَرِهِۦ غِشَـٰوَةً فَمَن يَهْدِيهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain desire? Allah has, knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart (and understanding), and put a cover on his sight. Who, then, will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn Guidance)? Will ye not then receive admonition?

, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. خَتِمَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. خَتْمٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and خِتَامٌ , (Lh, K, TA,) with kesr, (TA,) [in the CK, erroneously, خَتَام ,] i. q. طَبَعَهُ [He sealed, stamped, imprinted, or impressed, it]: (Msb, K:) or he put the خَاتَم [or signet] upon it: (Mgh:) namely, a thing, (S, Mgh,) or a writing or book and the like: and خَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ signifies the same [or he put a seal, or the impression of a signet, upon it]. (Msb.) Accord. to Er-Rághib, خَتْمٌ and طَبْعٌ signify The impressing a thing with the engraving of the signet and stamp: and the former [as is indicated, but not plainly expressed, as distinguished from the latter,] is tropically used, sometimes, as meaning the securing oneself from a thing, and protecting [oneself] from it; in consideration of protection by means of sealing upon writings and doors: and sometimes as meaning the producing an impression, or effect, upon a thing from another thing; in consideration of the impress produced [by the signet]: and sometimes it is used as relating to the reaching the end [of a thing]: (TA:) or the primary signification of خَتْمٌ is the act of covering over [a thing]: (Az, TA:) accord. to Zj, the proper meaning of خَتْمٌ and طَبْعٌ is the covering over a thing, and securing oneself from a thing's entering it: some say that the former signifies the concealing a notification of a thing, [as] by putting one's fingers over it, by way of guarding oneself thereby. (TA.) Hence, خَتْمُ الشَّهَادَةِ [The sealing of the testimony]; which is thus described by El-Hulwánee: the witness, when he wrote his name upon a صَكّ [q. v.], caused his written name to be beneath a piece of lead, [i. e. covered it with a piece of lead,] and put upon it the impress of his signet, in order that there might be no falsification of it or substitution for it. (Mgh.) As to خَتْمُ الأَعْنَاقِ [The sealing of the necks], the case is related, in the “Risáleh Yoosufeeyeh,” to have been this: 'Omar sent Ibn-Honeyf to seal the عُلُوج [or unbelievers] of the Sawád; and he sealed five hundred thousand of them, in classes; that is, he marked them twelve dirhems, and twenty-four, and forty-eight; tying a thong upon the neck of each, and putting upon the knot a seal of lead. (Mgh.) خَتْمٌ also signifies The protecting what is in a writing by marking [or stamping] a piece of clay [upon it, or by means of a seal of any kind]. (TA.) And you say, of a man, خَتَمَ عَلَيْكَ بَابَهُ [He sealed his door against thee]; meaning he turned away from thee, avoided thee, or shunned thee. (TA.) And خَتَمَ لَكَ بَابَهُ [He sealed for thee his door]; meaning he preferred thee to others. (TA.) خَتَمَ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ [which may be rendered He sealed his heart] means he made him to be such that he understood not, and such that nothing proceeded from him; or he made his heart, or mind, to be such that it understood not, &c. (K, TA.) خَتَمَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ , in the Kur [ii. 6], is like the phrase in the same [xvi. 110 and xlvii. 18] طَبَعَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ : (TA:) it points to what God has made to be usually the case when a man has ended in believing what is false and in committing that which is forbidden, so that he turns not his face to the truth; this occasioning, as its result, his becoming inured to the approval of acts of disobedience, so that he is as though this habit were impressed upon his heart: the assertion of ElJubbáee, that it means God hath put a seal upon their hearts, as a sign, to the angels, of their infidelity, is nought: (Er-Rághib, TA:) الخَتْمُ is explained by IAar as meaning the preventing of the heart from believing. (L in art. خدع .) [See also طَبَعَ .] خَتَمَ الشَّىْءَ , inf. n. خَتْمٌ , also signifies [as indicated above] He reached the end of the thing. (K.) And اِخْتَتَمْتُ الشَّىْءَ [I ended, or finished, the thing,] contr. of اِفْتَتَحْتُهُ . (S, TA.) You say, خَتَمَ القُرْآنَ He reached the end of the Kur-án [in reciting it]; (S, Er-Rághib;) [he recited the whole of the Kur-án;] he completed [the recital of] the Kur- án: (Mgh:) [and] he retained in his memory the last portion of the Kur-án; meaning he retained the whole of it in his memory. (Msb.) It is said of Suleymán El-Aamash, كَانَ يَقْرَأُ خَتْمًا , meaning He used to recite the whole of the Kur-án; at one time, according to the reading of Ibn-Mes'ood; at another time, from the edition of 'Othmán. (Mgh.) You say also, خَتَمَ ٱللّٰهُ لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ [May God make his end to be good]. (S.) خَتَمَ البَذْرَ He covered over the sown seed: (Az, TA:) or خَتَمُوا عَلَى البَذْرِ they turned up the earth over the sown seed, and then watered it: (Et-Táïfee, TA:) or خَتَمَ الزَّرْعَ , (JK, K, TA,) aor. خَتِمَ , inf. n. خَتْمٌ , (TA,) he watered the seed-produce, or sown field, the first time; (JK, K, TA;) because, when it is watered, it is finished ( خُتِمَ ) with the رحا [app. رَحَا , which here seems to mean the “roller,” as being likened to a mill-stone, though I find no authority for this meaning]; (TA;) as also خَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ : (K:) or خَتَمُوا عَلَى زُرُوعِهِمْ means they watered their sown fields while these were as yet كِرَاب [app. meaning clear of vegetation]. (JK, TA.) خَتَمَ النَّحْلُ The bees filled with honey the place in which they deposited it: (JK, A, TA:) or خَتْمٌ signifies bees' collecting some thin wax, thinner than the wax of the comb, and smearing with it the orifices of their خَلَايَا [or hives].

their present was sent to him complete—سِيقَتْ هَدِيَّتُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ بِخِتَامِهَا

This last is apparently from the same meaning; I suppose it to mean that their present was sent to him with what made it perfect or complete, or with what belonged to it.

2.3figurative · مجاز — inferredthe last of the prophets—خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ

The furthest part of a valley.

The last of a company of men; also خَاتَمٌ and خَاتِمٌ.

In the Kur-ān [33:40]. According to one reading, خَاتُم, with damm to the ت; or خاتمُ الأَنْبِيَآءِ, that is, Moḥammad, who is also called الخَاتَمُ and الخَاتِمُ.

the last that they will perceive of it will be the odour of musk—خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ

And the last portion of anything that is drunk.

In the Kur-ān [83:26]. Or, according to 'Alkameh and Mujāhid, its admixture will be musk; according to Ibn-Mes'ood, its result will be the taste of musk.

Fr says that خَاتَمٌ, خَاتِمٌ and خِتَامٌ are nearly the same in meaning; hence the reading of 'Alee, خَاتَمُهُ مِسْكٌ, explained as meaning that when anyone drinks of it he will find the last cup of it to have the odour of musk.

Er-Rāghib: the meaning is that the end, and the last draught, that is, what remains of it, will be in perfume like musk; and the claim that it means it will be sealed with musk is worthless.

[See also خَاتَمٌ and خَاتِمَةٌ.]

3figurative · مجاز — inferredthe places of separation of the joints of horses—خُتُمٌ

Its singulars are this word and خَاتِمٌ, or, according to IAar, خَتَامٌ.

The words used are فُصُوص [q. v.] for the places of separation and مَفَاصِل for the joints.

a signet; generally a signet-ring—خَاتَمٌ

خَأْتَمٌ, خَاتِمٌ (which is more commonly known than خَاتَمٌ), خَاتَامٌ, خِيتَامٌ (written in the CK and TA خَيْتَام), خِتَامٌ (in the K and TA, but omitted in the CK), خَتَمٌ, خَتْمٌ (Ez-Zeyn El-'Irākee), خَيْتَمْ (Ibn-Mālik), خَيْتُومٌ (Ez-Zeyn El-'Irākee) and خَاتِيَامٌ all mean the same.

An ornament for the finger, apparently at first used for sealing or stamping, so that the word belongs to the same class as طَابَعٌ; later, through frequent use, applied also to one not used for that purpose.

Or a ring having a فَصّ of a substance different from its own set in it, that is, having a stone, or gem, set in it; if it has no فَصّ it is called فَتَخَةٌ.

خَاتِمٌ is the agent, the person sealing or stamping; خَاتَمٌ is the thing put on the piece of clay [or wax] for sealing or stamping.

The plural of خَاتَمٌ and خَاتِمٌ is خَوَاتِمٌ, and, properly of خَاتَامٌ, خَوَاتِيمُ.

Sb says that those who use the second plural make it the plural of a singular of the measure فَاعَالٌ, though there is no such form in their language; which shows that he did not know خَاتَامٌ.

The plural of خَتْمٌ is خُتُومٌ.

3.1a seal, or stamp, and a mark—خَاتَمٌ
Amen is the seal and the mark of the Lord of all the beings of the world on his believing servants—آمِينَ خَاتَمُ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ المُؤْمِنِينَ

So in a tradition, where آمِينَ is Amen. This seal, or mark, removes accidents and causes of mischief from them; for the seal of a writing protects it and keeps those who look from seeing what is inside it.

3.2figurative · مجاز — inferredthe end, or last part, and the result, or issue, of a thing of any kind—خَاتِمَةٌ

See also خِتَامٌ, in seven places.

Fr says it is nearly the same in meaning as خِتَامٌ.

the closing portion—مُخْتَتَمٌ

This word particularly means the last part, or portion, of a chapter of the Kur-ān, and of the Kur-ān itself; also a concluding chapter or section, an epilogue, or an appendix.

It is a good word, in frequent use, though the opposite has been asserted.

The opposite of مُفْتَتَحٌ.

the declaration of the praises of God is the opening portion of the Kur-ān, and the prayer for the protection of God is its closing portion—التَّحْمِيدُ مُفْتَتَحُ ٱلْقُرْآنِ وَ ٱلِاسْتِعَاذَةُ مُخْتَتَمُهُ
actions are to be judged as good or evil by their results—الأَعْمَالُ بِخَوَاتِيمِهَا
3.3figurative · مجازthe lower ring of the teat of a mare—خَاتَمٌ

So called by comparison to a signet or seal.

The word for the ring is الحَلْقَةُ الدُّنْيَا, which apparently means the extremity, in which is the orifice; see حَلْقَتَا الرَّحِمِ and حَلْقَةُ الدُّبُرِ in art. حلق.

طُبْيَة is evidently used here as a dialectal variant of طُبْى, that is, the teat, though I do not find it mentioned in its own article in any lexicon; unless مِنْ طُبْيَتِهَا is a miscopying of من طُبْيِهَا.

an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (Lh, K.) And a subst. signifying The first watering of seedproduce, or of a sown field: (JK, TA:) or the turning up the earth over sown seed, and then watering it. (Et-Táïfee, TA.) See also خَاتِمٌ . Also The clay, (JK, S, K,) and the wax, (TA,) with which one seals, or stamps, (JK, S, K,) upon a writing, (JK,) or upon a thing: (K:) or which is sealed, or stamped, upon a writing. (Msb.) [See also خَتَمٌ . And see an ex. in a verse of Lebeed cited in art. دكن .] [The hymen; as being the seal of virginity; as also خَاتَمٌ .] You say, زُفَّتْ إِلَيْكَ بِخِتَامِهَا [She was conducted as a bride to thee with her seal of virginity], and بِخَاتَمِ رَبِّهَا [with the seal of her Lord]. (TA.) And [hence, app.,] سِيقَتْ هَدِيَّتُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ بِخِتَامِهَا [if it mean, as I suppose it to do, Their present was sent to him with what rendered it perfect or complete, or with what appertained to it].

The last of a company of men; (Lh, TA;) as also خَاتَمٌ and خَاتِمٌ : (K:) whence خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ [The last of the prophets], in the Kur [xxxiii. 40]; accord. to one reading, خَاتُم , with damm to the ت ; (TA;) or خاتمُ الأَنْبِيَآءِ , i. e. Mohammad; (S;) also called الخَاتَمُ and الخَاتِمُ . (TA.) And The last portion of anything that is drunk [&c.]. (TA.) خِتَامُهُ مِسْكٌ , in the Kur [lxxxiii. 26], means The last that they will perceive thereof will be the odour of musk: (S, TA:) or, accord. to 'Alkameh and Mujáhid, its admixture shall be musk: accord. to Ibn-Mes'ood, its result shall be the taste of musk: Fr says, خَاتَمٌ and خَاتِمٌ and خِتَامٌ are nearly the same in meaning; whence the reading of 'Alee, خَاتَمُهُ مِسْكٌ : and the explanation is this; that when any one shall drink thereof, he will find the last cup thereof to have the odour of musk: Er-Rághib says that the meaning is, the end, and the last draught, i. e. what shall remain, thereof shall be in perfume [like] musk: and that the assertion that it means it shall be sealed with musk is nought. (TA.) [See also خَاتَمٌ and خَاتِمَةٌ .] Also, (IAar, K,) and خَاتِمٌ , (K,) or, accord. to IAar, خَتَامٌ , (TA,) sings. of خُتُمٌ , which signifies The places of separation ( فُصُوص [q. v.]) of the joints ( مَفَاصِل ) of horses.

[of خَاتَمٌ and خَاتِمٌ ] is خَوَاتِمٌ (K) and [properly of خَاتَامٌ ] خَوَاتِيمُ : (S, in which the former pl., though more common, is not mentioned, and K:) Sb says that those who use the latter pl. make it to be pl. of a sing. of the measure فَاعَالٌ , though it be not in their language; which shows that he knew not خَاتَامٌ : the pl. of خَتْمٌ is خُتُومٌ . (TA.) خَاتَمٌ also signifies A seal, or stamp, and a mark: so in a trad., in which it is said, آمِينَ خَاتَمُ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ المُؤْمِنِينَ , i. e. [ آمِينَ (or Amen) is] the seal, or stamp, and the mark, [of the Lord of the beings of the whole world upon his servants the believers,] which removes from them accidents, and causes of mischief; for the seal of the writing protects it, and precludes those who look from [seeing] what is within it. (TA.) See also خِتَامٌ , in seven places. [It is nearly syn. with خِتَامٌ , as Fr says: and thus,] it signifies also, (JK, K,) and so does خَاتِمَةٌ , (S, K,) The end, or last part or portion, (JK, S, K,) and result, or issue, (K,) of a thing (JK, S, K) of any kind: (JK, K:) ↓ the latter [particularly] signifies the last part or portion (JK, Msb) of a chapter of the Kur-án, (JK,) and of the Kur-án itself: (Msb:) [and a concluding chapter or section: an epilogue: and an appendix:] and مُخْتَتَمٌ signifies [in like manner] the contr. of مُفْتَتَحٌ ; as in the saying, التَّحْمِيدُ مُفْتَتَحُ ٱلْقُرْآنِ وَ ٱلِاسْتِعَاذَةُ مُخْتَتَمُهُ [The declaration of the praises of God is the opening portion of the Kur-án, and the prayer for the protection of God is its closing portion]; (A, TA;) and it is a chaste word, of frequent occurrence, though the contr. has been asserted. (TA.) One says also, الأَعْمَالُ بِخَوَاتِيمِهَا [Actions are characterized, or to be judged, as good or evil, by their results]. (TA.) Also, i. e. خَاتَمٌ , of a mare, The lower ring ( الحَلْقَةُ الدُّنْيَا [app. meaning the extremity, in which is the orifice, see حَلْقَتَا الرَّحِمِ and حَلْقَةُ الدُّبُرِ , in art. حلق ,]) of the طُبْيَة [evidently here used as a dial. var. of طُبْى , i. e. the teat, though I do not find it mentioned in its proper art. in any lexicon; unless مِنْ طُبْيَتِهَا be a mistranscription for من طُبْيِهَا ]: (K, TA:) so called by way of comparison [to a signet or seal].
