muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarدَلْكٌ دُلُوكٌ

Core sense — he rubbed it, or rubbed and pressed it; the sun set, or declined at noongenerated

1.1he rubbed, or rubbed and pressed, the garment, or piece of cloth, to wash it—دَلَكَ الثَّوْبَ

he rubbed it, or rubbed it and pressed it, with his hand. [Or he did so well; or he pressed, or squeezed, it and rubbed it: for] دَلْكٌ means rubbing, or rubbing and pressing, well; or pressing, or squeezing, and rubbing.

[In the same way دلّكهُ, maṣdar تَدْلِيكٌ, means in the present day he rubbed it, or rubbed and pressed it, and especially a person's body and limbs in the bath; its proper meaning, however, is that he rubbed it much or well. Golius explains it as he rubbed it much or well on the authority of the KL, but it is not in my copy of that work.]

[I rubbed the ears of corn until their husks rubbed off from their grain]—دَلَكْتُ السُّنْبُلَ حَتَّى ٱنْفَرَكَ قِشْرُهُ عَنْ حَبِّهِ

اِدَّلَكَهُ means the same. (K in the article رهو, etc.)

[He rubbed his eyes]—دَلَكَ عَيْنَيْهِ

Said of a man looking at the setting sun.

[The woman kneaded the dough]—دَلَكَتِ المَرْأَةُ العَجِينَ
I wiped the sandal on the ground—دَلَكْتُ النَّعْلَ بِالأَرْضِ
1.1.1figurative · مجازtime, or fortune, disciplined him well, tried him, made him experienced and sound in judgment, and taught him—دَلَكَهُ الدَّهْرُ
journeyings inured him to them—دَلَكَتْهُ الأَسْفَارُ
he was inured by journeyings, and habituated to them—دُلِكَ بِالأَسْفَارِ

Said of a camel.

Said of a camel. Or: he was fatigued, or jaded, by journeyings; like [دُكَّ and] كُدَّ.

1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferred[The produce, or herbage, of] the land was eaten, or consumed—دُلِكَتِ الأَرْضُ
1.1.3

See also form 3.

1.2figurative · مجازthe sun set—دَلَكَتِ الشَّمْسُ

.

According to Z, it is so called because one who looks at the sun rubs his eyes, so that it is as though it were the rubber; and in the same way النُّجُومُ is said of the stars.

Or it became yellow and near to setting; or it declined so far that a beholder almost needed to screen its rays from his eyes with the palm of his hand; or it declined after midday. (Ibn-'Omar)

Or it means (or also means) that the sun declined from the meridian, or midheaven, (I'Ab) at noon; (I'Ab) and in the same way النُّجُومُ is said of the stars.

Az says that, in his opinion, the words of the Qur'ān [17:80] أَقِمَ ٱلصَّلَاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ mean: Perform prayer from the declining of the sun at noon. The command expressed by these words together with what follows them then takes in the five prayers: by the دلوك are included the first prayer [of noon] and that of the عَصْر; by the غَسَق of night, the two prayers [of sunset and nightfall], each of which is called عِشَآء; and by the قُرْآن of the فَجْر, the prayer of daybreak. If you make the دلوك to be the setting, the command is restricted to three prayers.

In the language of the Arabs دُلُوكٌ is said to mean the same as زَوَالٌ, and so the sun is said to be دَالِكَةٌ both when it is declining at noon and when it is setting.

[On the phrase دَلَكَتْ بَرَاحِ, or بِرَاحِ according to different readings, occurring at the end of a verse, see بَرَاحِ, and see also رَاحَةٌ in art. روح.]

In the Nawádir el-Aaráb it is said that دَلَكَتِ الشَّمْسُ means the sun became high, like دَمَكَت, عَلَت and اِعْتَلَت.
