maṣdarدِينٌ دِيَانَةٌ دَيْنٌ إِدَانَةٌmuḍāriʿيَدِينُ أَدِينُهُ يَدِينٌ

Core sense — he obeyed; he followed a religion; he borrowed, or lent; he repaid, requitedgenerated

1.1he was, or became, obedient to him; he obeyed him—دَانَ لَهُ

. [ (see below) in this and most of the other senses; or the maṣdar is دَيْنٌ, and دِينٌ is a simple noun.] He was, or became, obedient; he obeyed: this is the primary meaning. Some say the primary meaning is: he was, or became, abased and submissive; or abased, enslaved, and obedient.

he was, or became, obedient to him—دِنْتُ لَهُ

I was, or became, obedient to him—دِنْتُهُ

I served him, ministered to him, and acted well to him—دِنْتُهُ

1.1.1he became, or made himself, a servant of God by El-Islám; he followed El-Islám as his religion—دَانَ بِٱلْإِسْلَامِ

[Hence,] He became [a servant of God, or] a Muslim.

with kesr, [and دِيَانَةٌ].

he became a servant of God by El-Islám—تديّن

he followed such a thing as his religion—دَانَ بِكَذا

[and دِينٌ].

he followed such a thing as his religion—دِنْتُ بِهِ

he followed such a thing as his religion—تديّن به

[And تديّنتُ به: I followed such a thing as my religion.]

From دِينٌ in the sense of obedience.

he followed them in their religion; he took their religion as his—دان بِدِينِهِمْ

[The love of the learned is a kind of religion with which God is served]—مَحَبَّةُ العُلَمَآءُ دِينٌ يُدَانُ ٱللّٰهُ بِهِ

A tradition of ʿAlee.

[Nor follow the religion of the truth, or the true religion]—وَ لَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الحَقِّ

In the Qur'ān 9:29; El-Islám is meant.

Qur’ān 9:29 approximate — somewhere between 9:19 and 9:32 Lane cites “Kur ix. 29”

Qur’ān 9:29 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root

قَـٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلْحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ حَتَّىٰ يُعْطُوا۟ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَـٰغِرُونَ

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.2

He was, or became, disobedient; he disobeyed. Also he was, or became, mighty, powerful, or strong; or high in rank, condition, or state; noble, honourable, or illustrious. So it carries meanings opposite to those mentioned at the beginning of this entry.

1.3I took, or received, a loan; I borrowed: or I took, or bought, upon credit—دِنْتُ

Muḍāriʿ as above, from المُدَايَنَةُ. The same as أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ, or rather أَخَذَ دَيْنًا. Taking or buying upon credit is the meaning that generally applies.

he bought upon credit—اِدَّانَ

These all mean أَخَذَ دَيْنًا.

Or the first of them, دان, means he sought, or demanded, a loan, or the like; as also ادّان and استدان; and he became indebted, in debt, or under the obligation of a debt.

he bought upon credit—أَدَانَ

he bought upon credit—استدان

he bought upon credit—تديّن

he took, or received, by incurring a debt; he bought upon credit—ادّان

These three mean أَخَذَ بِدَيْنٍ [he took, or received, by incurring a debt; that is, he took, received, or bought, upon credit; like أَخَذَ دَيْنًا]; or the first and third of them mean أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ and اِقْتَرَضَ [which means the same].

he took, or received, by incurring a debt; he bought upon credit—أَدَانَ

he took, or received, by incurring a debt; he bought upon credit—استدان

he gave, or granted, a loan; he gave, or sold, a thing upon credit—أَدَانَ

That is, he gave what is termed دَيْنٌ, meaning a loan, or the like; or he gave, granted, or sold, a thing upon credit.

Esh-Sheybānee: this last verb means he became entitled to a debt from another.

Lth says that أَدَانَ means he was, or became, such as is termed مُسْتَدِينٌ [that is, it is the same as استدان, as the M and K say]; but [Az says,] this, which Sh reported on someone's authority, is in my opinion a mistake.

أَدَانَ means he sold upon credit; or he became entitled to a debt from another; or he sold to people on a limited credit, or for payment at an appointed time, so that he became entitled to a debt from them.

Sh: ادّان means he became much in debt.

El-Aḥmar cites this verse of El-ʿOjeyr Es-Saloolee: [We incur debt, and God pays for us; and sometimes we see the places of overthrow of a people, who incur no debt, in a state of perdition]

shāhid

نَدِينُ وَيَقْضِى ٱللّٰهُ عَنَّا وَقَدْ نَرَىمَصَارِعَ قَوْمٌ لَا يَدِينُونَ ضُيَّعِ

In the S [and the T] ضُيَّعَا, but the reading above is correct; for the whole قَصِيدَة is مَخْفُوضَة.

he bought upon credit, or borrowed, of whomever he could—اِدَّانَ مُعْرِضًا

Or, as some relate it, دَانَ. Or both mean he bought upon credit avoiding payment; or he contracted a debt with everyone who presented himself to him. [See also other explanations under ادّان مُعْرِضٌ.] It means he bought upon credit; or both this and the opposite, that is, he sold upon credit.

1.3.1I gave him, to a certain time, a loan; I gave him credit, or sold to him upon credit—دِنْتُهُ

It is also transitive; and so is أَدَانَ.

What is given is termed دَيْنٌ, meaning the loan, or the like, so that he owed a debt.

[In the CK دِينَةٌ is put here for دِنْتُهُ.]

I gave him a loan, or granted him credit—أَدَنْتُهُ

The same as أَقْرَضْتُهُ.

I gave him, or granted him, a loan, or the like—دَيَّنْتُهُ

Abū ʿObeyd: or دِنْتُهُ has this meaning.

I sought, or demanded, of him a loan, or the like—أَدَنْتُهُ

The same as اِسْتَقْرَضْتُ مِنْهُ.

I sought, or demanded, of him a loan, or the like—اِسْتَدَنْتُهُ

Abū ʿObeyd: or دِنْتُهُ has both of these meanings. It also means I received from him a loan, or the like.

Lend me ten dirhems—أَدِنِّى عَشَرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ

1.4he repaid, requited, or recompensed him for his deed—دانهُ

First person دِنْتُهُ; or the second is the maṣdar and the first a simple noun.

Construed with بِفِعْلِهِ: for his deed.

he repaid, requited, or recompensed him—داينهُ

Maṣdar مُدَايَنَةٌ and دِيَانٌ.

we did to them as they did to us—دِنَّاهُمْ

As you repay, or requite, so you will be repaid, or requited—كَمَا تَدِينُ تُدَانُ

A proverb: according to your deed you will be repaid, or requited; or, some say, as you do, so it will be done to you; or as you do, you will be given and repaid.

O God, repay them, or requite them, with [the like of] what they do to us—اَللّٰهُمَّ دِنْهُمْ كَمَا يَدِينُونَنَا

From a tradition.

1.4.1God will assuredly retaliate [for her that is hornless upon her that is horned]—اَللّٰهُ لَيَدِينُ مِنَ الجَمَّّآءِ لِلْقَرْنَآءِ

A tradition of Selmán.

1.4.2He who reckons with himself [gains]—مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ رَبِحَ

[Or the verb may here have the meaning that comes next.]

1.5he abased him, and enslaved him—دانهُ

[The intelligent is] he who abases, and enslaves, himself [and works for what shall come after death]—الكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ المَوْتِ

he made him do what he disliked—دانهُ

From a tradition. Or, some say, who reckons with himself; or, according to some, who overcomes himself.

First person دِنْتُهُ.

he was made to do what he disliked—دِينَ

1.5.1I ruled, governed, or managed him, or it—دِنْتُهُ

Also: I possessed it; I owned it; or I had authority over it.

1.6he became accustomed, or habituated, to good or to evil—دان

the maṣdar appears to be دِينٌ, for which see below.

Lth: دِينَ means he was accustomed, or habituated. Or, some say, دِينٌ, meaning custom or habit, has no verb.

1.7

Said of a man: he was, or became, smitten, or affected, by a disease.

(S.) You say, دَانَ لَهُ , (S,) and دِنْتُ لَهُ and دِنْتُهُ , (M, TA,) He, and I, was, or became, obedient to him [&c.], or obeyed him [&c.]. (S, M, TA.) And دِنْتُهُ , (M, K,) aor. أَدِينُهُ , (K,) I served him, did service for him, or ministered to him, and acted well to him. (M, K.) [Hence,] He became [a servant of God, or] a Muslim. (TK.)

And دان بِدِينِهِمْ He followed them in their religion; agreed with them, or was of one mind or opinion with them, upon, or respecting, their religion; took, or adopted, their religion as his. (TA.) And the trad. of 'Alee, مَحَبَّةُ العُلَمَآءُ دِينٌ يُدَانُ ٱللّٰهُ بِهِ [The love of the learned is a kind of religion with which God is served]. (TA.) In the phrase وَ لَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الحَقِّ [Nor follow the religion of the truth, or the true religion], in the Kur ix. 29, El-Islám is meant. (Jel.) Also He was, or became, disobedient; he disobeyed: and he was, or became, mighty, potent, powerful, or strong; or high, or elevated, in rank, condition, or state; noble, honourable, glorious, or illustrious. (IAar, T, K.) Thus it bears significations contr. to those mentioned in the first part of this paragraph. (MF.)

O ye who believe! When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as Allah Has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm. If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you. And Allah is well acquainted with all things. If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, - his heart is tainted with sin. And Allah knoweth all that ye do.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

It is a maṣdar of form 1.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred[How great in amount is his debt!]—مَا أَكْثرَ دَيْنَهُ

It is also a simple noun, and properly means [a debt, such as] the price of a thing sold [which the buyer is bound to pay], and a dowry [which one engages to pay], and a loan, or the like, قَرْض.

Or it is [a debt] with an appointed time of falling due; what has no such appointed time is [properly, though not always,] termed قَرْضٌ. And دِينَةٌ means the same as دَيْنٌ in the sense explained above.

A valid دَينْ is one that is not annulled except by payment, or by one's being declared clear, or quit. The compensation in a contract which a slave makes with his owner, to pay him a certain sum as the price of himself and to be free on paying it, is not a valid دَيْن, because it may be annulled without payment and without his being declared clear, or quit — that is, by the slave's being unable to pay it.

In the language of the law, but not in the proper language, دَيْنٌ is also applied to [a debt incurred by] a thing taken unjustly, injuriously, or by force, as being likened to a دَيْن properly so called. It also means anything that is not present [apparently, anything to be paid, or done, at a future time].

The plural of paucity is أَدْيُنٌ, and that of multitude دُيُونٌ [and in the CK there is added دِينَةٌ with kesr, but this is a miscopying for دِنْتُهُ, as being the same as أَدَنْتُهُ, which follows it, joined to it by وَ]. The plural of دِينَةٌ is دِيَنٌ.

[How great in amount is his debt!]—دِينَتَهُ

[I came for the demanding of the debt]—جِئْتُ لِطَلَبِ الدِّينَةِ

Both mean the same.

That is, الدَّيْنِ.

[On him lies a debt; that is, he owes a debt]—عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ

[To him is due a debt; that is, he has a debt owed to him]—لَهُ دَيْنٌ

[He bought upon credit]—اِشْتَرَى بِالدَّيْنِ

he bought upon credit—أَخَذَ الدَّيْنَ

Or rather أَخَذَ دَيْنًا, which means the same; or he took, or received, upon credit; or he took a loan, or the like; he borrowed.

[He took, or received, by incurring a debt]—أَخَذَ بِدَيْنٍ

[He sold upon credit]—بَاعَ بِالدَّيْنِ

[I sold to him upon credit]—بِعْثُهُ بِدَيْنٍ

Or rather بِدِينَةٍ.

[I gave him, or granted him, credit; or I gave him the loan, or the like]—أَعْطَيْتُهُ الدَّيْنَ

1.2figurative · مجاز[May God smite him with his death]—رَمَاهُ ٱللّٰهُ بِدَيْنِهِ

[Hence,] Death; because it is a دَيْن [or debt] which everyone must pay when [the angel who is] the demander of its payment comes.

Nounدِينٌ17 senses · 7 main

Core sense — obedience; a religion; a custom, or habit; requital, or a reckoninggenerated

1obedience to, and the service of, God—الدِّينُ لِلّٰهِ

It is a maṣdar of form 1, and is also used as a simple noun meaning obedience; and so is دِينَةٌ. [In the M it is said, without any restriction, that دِينَةٌ is like دِينٌ.] This is its primary meaning, and its plural is أَدْيَانٌ. Or, some say, its primary meaning is the one that follows: a state of abasement and submissiveness.

[And who is better] in obedience [than he who resigns himself to God?]—وَ مَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينًا مِمَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلّٰهِ

In the Qur'ān 4:124. Er-Rāghib.

[There shall be no compulsion] in obedience—لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ

In the Qur'ān 2:257. Er-Rāghib.

1.1[The only true religion in the sight of God is El-Islám]—إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلْإِسْلَامُ

A religion; plural as above; so called as implying obedience, and submission to the law.

In the Qur'ān 3:17.

الدِّينُ is a name for that whereby one serves God. [It is applied to religion in the widest sense of the word, practical and doctrinal, so including الإِيمَانُ, which means religious belief.]

It particularly means [the religion of] El-Islám. Also the religious law of God, consisting of such ordinances as fasting, prayer, pilgrimage, the giving of the poor-rate, and the other acts of piety, or of obedience to God, or of duty to Him and to men; the same as الشَّرِيعَةُ. Also the belief in the unity of God. Also piety, or pious fear, and abstinence from unlawful things; the same as الوَرَعُ.

1.2he was not to take his brother as a slave under the king's law—مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِى دِينِ ٱلْمَلِكِ

A particular law; a statute; an ordinance; the same as حُكْمٌ and قَضَآءٌ [which means the same as حُكْمٌ]. Katādeh.

In the Qur'ān 12:76, said of Joseph, of the law of the king of Egypt; that is, فِى حُكْمِ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ or فىقَضَائِهِ. Katādeh. His punishment under the king was beating, and a fine of twice the value of the thing stolen, not enslavement; or, according to El-Umawee, the meaning is, in the dominion of the King.

Lane cites “Jel in xii. 76” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given

1.3he conformed to the old usages of his people—كَانَ عَلَى دِينِ قَوْمِهِ

[A system of usages, or rites and ceremonies, inherited from a line of ancestors.]

From a tradition about the Prophet: the old usages obtaining among his people, inherited from Abraham and Ishmael, in respect of their pilgrimage, their marriage customs, their inheritances, their buying and selling, their ways of acting, and other ordinances of the faith; but the belief in the unity of God they had altered, and the Prophet held no belief other than it. Or, some say, the meaning here is their dispositions in respect of generosity and courage, from دِينٌ in the sense that follows.

1.4That has not ceased to be my custom, or habit—مَا زَالَ ذٰلِكَ دِينِى

Custom, or habit; and so is دِينَةٌ; also business. Plural, as above, أَدْيَانٌ. This too has been said to be the primary meaning.

1.5

A way, course, mode, or manner of acting, or of conduct, or the like.

1.6

The same as تَدْبِيرٌ, apparently meaning the management, conduct, or regulation of affairs.

1.7Had you found me in a state other than this, I would have informed you—لَوْ لَقِيتَنِى عَلَى دِنٍ غَيْرِ هٰذِهِ لَأَخْبَرْتُكَ

ISh says: I asked an Arab of the desert about something, and he said this to me.

State, condition, or case.

1.8

A property, such as is an unknown cause of a known effect; the same as خَاصِّيَّةٌ. [The meanings "Via", "Signum" and "Opera", mentioned by Golius as from the KL, I do not find in my copy of that work.]

Disobedience. [So it carries a meaning opposite to the one first mentioned in this entry.]

3[The King] of the day of requital—مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

In the Qur'ān 1:3; or the meaning here is a reckoning.

Repayment, requital, compensation, or recompense; or, some say, such as is proportioned to the deed of the one it falls upon.

3.1

Retaliation, by slaying for slaying, or wounding for wounding, or mutilating for mutilating.

3.2That is the right, correct, or true, reckoning—ذٰلِكَ الدِّينُ القَيِّمُ

In the Qur'ān 9:36, where it is said to have this meaning.

A reckoning.

Compulsion against the will; subdual, subjection, or subjugation; ascendency; sovereign, or ruling, power; power of dominion; mastership, or ownership; the holding of authority.

A disease; or, according to El-Mufaḍḍal, an old disease.

[It is said to mean also] a constant, or a gentle, rain; and so is دِينَةٌ. According to the book of Lth, [by which is meant the ʿEyn,] rain that has been constantly, or usually, recurring in a place; but this is a mistake of Lth, or of someone who has added it in his book.

A verse of Et-Tirimmāḥ cited there as an example ends with وَدِينِ, which in that instance means the same as مَوْدُون, "moistened", its و being the first radical, not the conjunction وَ; and دِينٌ in the sense of any kind of rain is unknown.
