muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarدُخُولٌ دَخَلٌ
Core sense — he entered, he went in; it came in, accrued; his state was intrinsically unsoundgenerated
1.1figurative · مجازhe, or it, entered, or went in—اِدَّخَلَ
maṣdar دُخُولٌ and مَدْخَلٌ.
He, or it, entered, or went, came, passed, or got in; the opposite of خَرَجَ.
Of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ.
he, or it, entered—اندخل
it (a thing) entered little by little—تدخّل
I entered with a good entering—دَخَلْتُ مَدْخَلًا حَسَنًا
This form occurs in poetry, but is not good Arabic.
Like دُخُولًا حَسَنًا.
I entered the house—دَخَلْتُ البَيْتَ
Or الدَّارَ, i.e. I became within the house, and the like; correctly meaning إِلَى البَيْتِ, or فِى البَيْتِ, i.e. I entered into the house, the preposition being left out and the noun put in the accusative case in the manner of an object.
Nouns of place are of two kinds, vague and definite. The vague are such as the six relative locations, خَلْفٌ, قُدَّامٌ, يَمِينٌ, شِمَالٌ, فَوْقٌ, تَحْتٌ, and the like, such as أَمَامٌ, وَرَآءٌ, أَعْلَى, أَسْفَلُ, عِنْدَ, لَدُنْ, وَسْطٌ in the sense of بَيْنٌ, and قُبَالَةٌ; all of these, and similar nouns of place, may become adverbs, because they are indefinite: for what is خَلْف to you may be قُدَّام to another.
But a definite noun of place, having make, corporeal substance, and tracts that contain it — a mountain, a valley, a market, a house, a mosque — cannot become an adverb; you may not say قَعَدْتُ الدَّارَ, nor صَلَّيْتُ المَسْجِدَ, nor نِمْتُ الجَبَلَ, nor قُمْتُ الوَادِىَ. The phrases of this kind that do occur are cases of a suppressed preposition, as دَخَلْتُ البَيْتَ, نَزَلْتُ الوَادِىَ, and صَعِدْتُ الجَبَلَ.
I entered the house after Zeyd, he being in it—دَخَلْتُ عَلَى زَيْدٍ الدَّارَ
he came in upon him; also, he came upon him, i.e. invaded him—دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ
he went in to his wife, or woman—دَخَلَ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ
Also عَلَيْهَا; like دَخَلَ بِأَهْلِهِ and عَلَيْهَا.
This is a metonymic phrase denoting الجِمَاع, i.e. الوَطْء, sexual intercourse, whether allowed by the law or forbidden, and generally lawful. See what is said in explanation of the term خَلْوَةٌ in the first paragraph of art. خلو.
the stars became confused together—دَخَلَ بَعْضُ النُّجُومِ فِى بَعْضٍ
دَخَلَ بَعْضُهُ فِى بَعْضٍ means the same as تَدَاخَلَ; see art. قصر.
In art. شبك it is coupled with اِخْتَلَطَتْ.
he entered among them, becoming a member of their community, party, or sect—دَخَلَ فِيهِمْ
Said of a stranger.
For دَخَلَ فِى طَاعَتِهِ, see طَائِعٌ in art. طوع.
it comes in, or accrues, to the man—يَدْخُلُ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ
When دَخَلَ is said of income, or revenue, meaning it came in, accrued, or was received, the muḍāriʿ is as above and the maṣdar is دَخْلٌ.
he entered with him, or it—دَخَلَ بِهِ
See form 4.
1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredit became included, comprehended, or comprised, in it—دَخَلَ فِيهِ
he entered the religion of El-Islám; he embraced that religion—دَخَلَ فِى دِينِ الإِسْلَامِ
See art. سلم, and Qur'ān 110, verse 2.
he entered upon, began, or commenced, the affair—دَخَلَ فِى الأَمْرِ
.
he entered into, or mixed himself in, another's affair—دَخَلَ فِى أَمْرِ غَيْرِهِ
Also أُمُورِ غَيْرِهِ, تدخّل, and تداخل: he entered into, or mixed himself in, another's affairs.

1.1.2it came upon him, or invaded him—دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ
Said of night and the like.
Said of a word, such as a preposition: it was prefixed to it, or put before it.
1.1.3figurative · مجاز — inferredan evil opinion of him entered my mind—دَخَلَنِى مِنْهُ
This seems to be the meaning, from an instance in art. بضع in the K; from دَخْلٌ in the sense of a thing that induces doubt, suspicion, or evil opinion.
1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhe had an unsoundness in his intellect, or in his body, or in his grounds of pretension to respect—دُخِلَ
Like عُنِىَ and دَخِلَ; maṣdar of the former دَخْلٌ, of the latter دَخَلٌ. The unsoundness is دَخَلٌ, i.e. فَسَادٌ.
his affair, or case, or state, was intrinsically bad, corrupt, or unsound—دَخِلَ أَمْرُهُ
.
1.2.1the corn, or food, became eaten by worms or the like—دُخِلَ الطَّعَامُ
1.2.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhe was led into a mistake, or an error, about a thing—دُخِلَ عَلَيْهِ

(S, O, TA.) You say also, دَخَلْتُ عَلَى زَيْدٍ الدَّارَ , meaning I entered the house after Zeyd, he being in it. (Msb.)

(Msb, K. *) دَخَلَ بِهِ [lit. He entered with him, or it]: see 4. [Hence, دَخَلَ فِيهِ meaning It became included, comprehended, or comprised, in it. And hence,] دَخَلَ فِى دِينِ الإِسْلَامِ [He entered within the pale of the religion of ElIslám; he entered the communion of that religion; he entered into, embraced, or became a proselyte to, that religion]. (Msb in art. سلم , &c. [See Kur cx. 2.]) And دَخَلَ فِى الأَمْرِ , inf. n. دُخُولٌ , He entered upon, began, or commenced, the affair. (Msb.) [And دَخَلَ فِى أَمْرِ غَيْرِهِ , and أُمُورِ غَيْرِهِ , and تدخّل , and تداخل He entered into, or mixed himself in, another's affair, and another's affairs.] [Hence also, دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ said of night, &c., It came upon him, or invaded him. And said of a word, such as a prep. &c., It was, or became, prefixed to it, preposed to it, or put before it.] [ دَخَلَنِى مِنْهُ seems (from an instance in art. بضع in the K) to mean An evil opinion of him entered my mind; from دَخْلٌ as signifying “ a thing that induces doubt, or suspicion, or evil opinion. ”] دُخِلَ , (S, K,) like عُنِىَ ; (K;) and دَخِلَ , aor. دَخَلَ ; inf. n.
