Core sense — it continued, or remained fixed; he pledged a thing; he became leangenerated

1.1

maṣdar رَهْنٌ or رُهُونٌ.

Said of a thing: it continued, lasted, or remained fixed; it became permanent, firm, steady, settled, or established. This is the primary meaning.

1.1.1figurative · مجازhe remained, stayed, or dwelt in the placeرَهَنَ بِالمَكَانِ
1.1.2he became lean, or emaciated; and fatigued, tired, or jadedرَهَنَ

Muḍāriʿ رَهَنَ or رَهُنَ, though I think the second a mistake; maṣdar رُهُونٌ.

Said of a man, of a camel, and of any beast.

So ISh. See رَاهِنٌ.

he deposited the thing with him as a pledge, in place of what he had taken from himرَهَنَهُ الشَّىْءَ

رَهَنَهُ عِنْدَهُ (, maṣdar رَهْنٌ and رَهِينَةٌ, for which see رَهْنٌ) and ارهنهُ الشَّىْءَ all mean the same.

I restricted the commodity, or placed it in custody, for the debtرَهَنْتُ المَتَاعَ بِالدَّيْنِ

. ارهنتهُ بالدين is a dialectal variant, but rare, and rejected by those who are held in esteem.

I gave Zeyd the garment so that he should deposit it as a pledge with someoneأَرْهَنْتُ زَيْدًا الثَّوْبَ

'Abd-Allah Ibn Hemmám Es-Saloolee says, or Hemmám Ibn-Murrah: [And when I dreaded their nails, I escaped, and left with them, as a pledge, Málik]

shāhid 1
نَجَوْتُ وَ أَرْهَنْتُهُمْ مَالِكَافَلَمَّا خَشِيتُ أَظَافِيرَهُمْ

Th says that all relate the verse in this way except As, who reads وَ أَرْهَنُهُمْ مالكا, that is, leaving with them, as a pledge, Málik. He likens the phrase to قُمْتُ وَ أَصُكُّ وَجْهَهُ, and this is a good way of explaining it, since the و is a denotative of state; the meaning being صَاكًّا وَجْهَهُ.

On the first reading, in Th's opinion, the poet means that he left Málik remaining with them, not as a pledge; because, when the leaving of a thing as a pledge is meant, one does not say أَرْهَنْتُ الشَّىْءَ, but only رَهَنْتُهُ. [See, however, form 4.]

he made him, or it, to be a pledge in place of him, or itرَهَنَهُ عَنْهُ

.

A poet, said by IJ to be a pagan, says: [Make your sons to be pledges in place of them: in that case I will make my sons to be pledges]

shāhid 2
اِرْهَنْ بَنِيكَ عَنْهُمُ أَرْهَنْ بَنِىْ

بَنِى stands for بَنِىَّ.

I made my tongue as though it were a pledge to him, to be restrained or used for his benefitرَهَنْتُهُ لِسَانِى

In this case one should not say أَرْهَنْتُهُ, though this is said of a garment and the like, as well as رَهَنْتُهُ.

, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. رَهَنَ , (Msb,) inf. n. رَهْنٌ , (S, TA,) or رُهُونٌ , (Msb,) It (a thing, S, Msb, TA) continued, subsisted, lasted, endured, remained, or remained fixed or stationary; it was, or became, permanent, constant, firm, steady, stead fast, stable, fixed, fast, settled, or established. (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA.) This is the primary signification. (Mgh, TA. *) Hence, (Mgh,) رَهَنَ بِالمَكَانِ He remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in the place. (A, Mgh, TA.) And رَهَنَ , (JK, S, K,) aor. رَهَنَ , (K, TA,) or رَهُنَ , (JK, [but this I think to be a mis take,]) inf. n. رُهُونٌ , (K,) said of a man, and of a camel, (JK, S, * TA,) and of any beast (TA,) He was, or became, lean, or emaciated; (JK, S, K, TA;) and fatigued, tired, weary, or jaded. (JK, TA.) You say, رَكِبَ حَتَّى رَهَنَ He rode until he became lean, or emaciated. (ISh, TA. [See رَاهِنٌ .]) As trans., see 4, first signification. [Hence,] as a law term, رَهْنٌ signifies The putting, or placing, an article of real property [to remain] as a pledge, or security, or making it to be such, for a debt that is obligatory or that will become obligatory.

(Msb.) 'Abd-Allah Ibn Hemmám Es-Saloolee says, (S,) or Hemmám Ibn-Murrah, (TA,) 1 [And when I dreaded their nails, I escaped, and gave them, or left with them, as a pledge, Málik]: thus, says Th, all relate the verse, except As, who says وَ أَرْهَنُهُمْ مالكا [i. e. leaving with them, as a pledge, Málik]: he likens this phrase to the say ing قُمْتُ وَ أَصُكُّ وَجْهَهُ ; and this is a good way of explaining it; for the و is that which is a deno tative of state; the meaning being صَاكًّا وَجْهَهُ : [accord. to the former reading, in the opinion of Th,] the poet means I left Málik remaining with them; not as a pledge; because [when the leaving a thing as a pledge is meant, in his opinion,] one does not say, أَرْهَنْتُ الشَّىْءَ , but only رَهَنْتُهُ . (S, TA.) [See, however, 4.] You say also, رَهَنَهُ عَنْهُ , inf. n. رَهْنٌ , meaning He made him, or it, to be a pledge in lieu of him, or it: a poet, asserted by IJ to be a pagan, says, 2 [Make thou thy sons to be pledges in lieu of them: in that case I will make my sons to be pledges: بَنِى being for بَنِىَّ ]. (TA.) And رَهَنْتُهُ لِسَانِى [I made my tongue to be as though it were a pledge to him, to be restrained, or to be used, for his sake or benefit]: in this case one should not say أَرْهَنْتُهُ ; (IAar, K;) though one says thus of a garment, or piece of cloth, [&c.,] as well as رَهَنْتُهُ .

4.1figurative · مجازhe continued, or made permanent, the food to themارهن لَهُمُ الطَّعَامَ

He made a thing continue, last, or remain fixed; he made it permanent, firm, steady, settled, or established; and also he found it to be so.

رَهَنَ has the same meaning, but form 4 is the more approved.

he continued, or made permanent, the beverage to themالشَّرَابَ
he continued, or made permanent, the property to themالمَالَ

According to an explanation of أُرْهِنَتْ, said of dates, by 'Alee Ibn Hamzeh, cited in a marginal note in a copy of the S, in the article on أَرْهَنَ, وهب the verb means he prepared food and continued it, or made it permanent.

As a pledge to be given up on the day of resurrection.

4.1.3I bought the commodity for a high price, giving largely for it until I obtained itأَرْهَنْتُ فِى السِّلْعَةِ

So Az. According to ISk it means: I paid in advance for the commodity; the same as أَسْلَفْتُ.

In the T, and likewise in the JK, ارهن فِى كَذَا وَ كَذَا is said to mean اسلف فِيهِ. In the K it is said that أَرْهَنَهُ means أَسْلَفَهُ, as though it meant he lent him a sum of money and the like.

Er-Rāghib: the proper meaning of إِرْهَانٌ is that one gives a commodity before the price is fully paid, so making it pledged for the completion of its price.

4.2he, or it, weakened him; and made him lean, or emaciatedارهنهُ

Like أَوْهَنَهُ.

God weakened himارهن ٱللّٰهُ قُوَّتَهُ

Core sense — a pledge; a thing deposited as security for a debt; a stakegenerated

1anything by reason of which a thing, such as a debt, is restricted or appropriated to oneselfرَهِينَةٌ

Originally a maṣdar, and the same as مَرْهُونٌ: a pledge; a thing deposited with a person in place of a thing taken from him; or a thing deposited as security for a debt.

Er-Rāghib: رِهَانٌ has a similar meaning, but is applied specially to a thing deposited as a bet, or stake, and it too is originally a maṣdar.

رَهِينَةٌ is also the same as رَهْنٌ, meaning the act of giving as a pledge, just as شَتِيمَةٌ is the same as شَتْمٌ, the ة being added to make the meaning more intensive; then, like رَهْنٌ, it is used in the sense of مَرْهُونٌ.

رَهِينَةٌ is a maṣdar like شَتِيمَةٌ, used to denote the ism mafʿūl, as a noun properly so called, like رَهْنٌ, and not as an adjective.

مُرْتَهَنَةٌ has the same meaning.

Here I follow two copies of the K, which have كُلُّ مَا ٱحْتُبِسَ بِهِ شَىْءٌ فَرَهِينَةٌ وَ مُرْتَهَنَةٌ; the CK, and the copy of the K followed in the TA, have فَرَهِينُهُ وَ مُرْتَهَنُهُ, which distorts the meaning, though رَهِينٌ and مُرْتَهَنٌ may be used in the same sense as رَهِينَةٌ and مُزْتَهَنَةٌ, as will be seen below. In the TA, يحبس is put in place of ٱحْتُبِسَ, meaning يُحْبَسُ. There is, however, this difference between رَهِينَةٌ and مُرْتَهَنَةٌ: the former properly means a thing deposited as a pledge, the latter a thing taken as a pledge.

The plural of رَهْنٌ is رِهَانٌ, رُهُونٌ, and رُهُنٌ. Aboo 'Amr Ibn El-'Alà said this last is a plural of رَهْنٌ, but Akh disapproved, because a word of the measure فَعْلٌ does not take a plural of the measure فُعُلٌ except in rare and irregular instances; he says, though, that it may be a plural of رِهَانٌ, which is the plural of رَهْنٌ, as the Msb also says.

Fr says that رُهُنٌ is a plural of رِهَانٌ, but this is denied in the M, because a plural may not be pluralized except where there is express authority for it and the case admits of no other decision.

رُهْنٌ is another plural of رَهْنٌ, or rather a contraction of رُهُنٌ; and another plural of رَهْنٌ, or rather an ism jamʿ, is رَهِينٌ, as عَبِيدٌ is of عَبْدٌ. The plural of رَهِينَةٌ is رَهَائِنُ.

the pledge shall not remain in the hand of its receiver when its depositor is able to redeem itلَا يَغْلَقُِ الرَّهْنُ

A proverb, applied to one who has fallen into a case from which he cannot hope to escape.

Said in a tradition; لا here is either negative or prohibitive.

the pledge remained in the hand of the receiver when the depositor was able to redeem itغَلِقَ الرَّهْنُ

or غَلَقٌ. So the Nh, cited in a copy of the Jámi' es-Sagheer.

he, or it, is pledged for such a thing; or taken as a pledge for such a thingهُوَ رَهْنٌ بِكَذَا

رَهِينٌ and مُرْتَهَنٌ are used in the same way.

he, or it, is pledged for such a thing; or taken as a pledge for such a thingرَهِينَةٌ بكذا

The tradition means that the receiver of the pledge shall have no right to it when the depositor has not redeemed it within a certain time; for in the Time of Ignorance it was the custom for the receiver to keep the pledge in this case, but Islam abolished it.

I am taken as a pledge for such a thingأَنَا رَهْنٌ بِكَذَا

رَهِينٌ and رَهِينَةٌ mean the same.

I am responsible, or a surety, to you for such a thingأَنَا لَكَ رَهْنٌ بِكَذَا

رَهِينَةٌ means the same.

his leg, or foot, is a pledge for the safe-keeping of his shackleرِجْلُهُ رَهِينَةٌ بِقَيْدِهِ

Said of one when he has sought, or courted, death.

By this is meant responsibility, or suretyship.

In the Qur'ān 74:41; its works are regarded as a debt, for which it will be either released or held in custody to be punished for ever.

رهينة is a maṣdar like شَتِيمَةٌ, used to denote the ism mafʿūl, like رَهْنٌ; if it were an adjective the word would be رَهِينٌ.

every man is pledged with God for what he will have doneٱمْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ كُلُّ

In 52:21 of the same. Explained as مَرْهُونٌ, with God, عِنْدَ ٱللّٰهِ: so that if he has done good, God will release him, but otherwise He will destroy him, or hold him in confinement and punish him; or he is pledged to be punished for evil and recompensed for good.

every boy that is born is a pledge for the victim to be sacrificed for himكُلُّ غُلَامٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ

Said in a tradition; the victim, عقيقة, is the one sacrificed for him when his head is shaven the first time, and this is commonly regarded as his ransom from the fire of Hell.

The عقيقة is absolutely necessary for him, so that, while he is not released from it, he is likened to a pledge in the hand of the receiver.

El-Khattábee says that the best explanation is that of Ahmad Ibn-Hambal: if the عقيقة is not sacrificed for the boy and he dies an infant, he will not intercede for his parents.

(S, K.) غَلِقَ الرَّهْنُ بِمَا فِيهِ . [The pledge became, or has become, per manent as a possession, with what was, or is, comprised in it,] is a prov., applied to him who has fallen into a case from which he cannot hope to escape: it is said in a trad., لَا يَغْلَقُِ الرَّهْنُ , (Meyd,) [i. e. The pledge shall not remain, or let not the pledge remain, in the hand of its receiver when its depositer is able to release it; for] لا is here either negative or prohibitive: you say, غَلِقَ الرَّهْنُ , aor. يَغْلَقُ , inf. n. غُلُوقٌ [or غَلَقٌ ], meaning The pledge remained in the hand of the receiver when the depositor was able to release it: (Nh, cited in a copy of the “ Jámi' es-Sagheer: ”) the trad. means that the receiver of the pledge shall not have a right to it when the depositer has not released it within a certain time: for it was a custom in the Time of Ignorance for the receiver to keep possession of the pledge in this case; but El-Islám abolished it. (Meyd, * Nh.) You say also, هُوَ رَهْنٌ بِكَذَا and رَهِينَةٌ بكذا He, or it, is [a person, or thing,] pledged for such a thing: (IAth, TA:) or taken [as a pledge] for such a thing; as also رَهِينٌ and مُرْتَهَنٌ . (TA.) And أَنَا رَهْنٌ بِكَذَا and رَهِينٌ and رَهِينَةٌ I am taken [as a pledge] for such a thing. (Mgh.) And [hence,] أَنَا لَكَ رَهْنٌ بِكَذَا (JK, TA) and رَهِينَةٌ (TA) I am responsible, or a surety, to thee for such a thing. (JK, TA.) And رِجْلُهُ رَهِينَةٌ بِقَيْدِهِ [His leg, or foot, is a pledge for the safe-keeping of his shackle: for if the meaning were مَرْهُونَةٌ it would be رَهِينٌ , without ة ]. (TA.) And الخَلْقُ رَهَائِنُ المَوْتِ [Mankind, or all created beings, are the pledges of death]. (TA.) And هُوَ رَهْنُ يَدِ المَنِيَّةِ [He is the pledge of the hand of death, or of fate, or destiny]; said of one when he has sought, or courted, death. (TA.) And يَدِى لَكَ رَهْنٌ [My hand is a pledge to thee]; by which is meant responsibility, or suretiship. (TA.) And إِنَّهُ لَرَهِينُ قَبْرٍ [Verily he is the pledge of a grave, which will render him up on the day of resurrection]. (TA.) It is said in the Kur lxxiv. 41, كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ , meaning [Every soul is a thing] pledged with God [for what it shall have wrought; its works being regarded as a debt, for which it will be either released or held in custody to be punished everlastingly]: رهينة being an inf. n. like شَتِيمَةٌ applied to denote the pass. part. n. [in a manner before mentioned] like رَهْنٌ ; for if it were an epithet [i. e. used in the proper sense of a pass. part. n.] the word would be رَهِينٌ . (Bd.) And in lii. 21 of the same, ٱمْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ كُلُّ , i. e. [Every man is] pledged ( مَرْهُونٌ , Bd, Jel) with God ( عِنْدَ ٱللّٰهِ ) for what he shall have wrought; so that if he have done good, He will release him; but other wise, He will destroy [or hold in confinement and punish] him; (Bd;) or to be punished for evil, and recompensed for good. (Jel.) And it is said in a trad., كُلُّ غُلَامٍ رَهِينَةٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ [Every boy that is born is a pledge for his عقيقة , i. e. for the victim that is to be sacrificed for him when his head is shaven the first time; which is com monly regarded as his ransom from the fire of Hell]: i. e., the عقيقة is absolutely necessary for him; wherefore he is likened, when not released from it, to a pledge in the hand of the receiver: El-Khattábee says that the best explanation of it is that of Ahmad Ibn-Hambal; that if the عقيقة be not sacrificed for the boy and he die an infant, he will not intercede for his parents. (TA.) See also what next follows.

Conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it,- His heart is tainted with sin. And Allah Knoweth all that ye do.
