أُرِيدُ لِأَنْسَى ذِكْرَهَا فَكَأَنَّمَاتُمَثَّلُ لِى لَيْلَى بِكُلِّ سَبِيلِ

; meaning أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَنْسَى.

originally with و [that is, أَرْوَدَهُ], because رَاوَدَهُ is said in a similar sense.

Also: he cared for it, or minded it, or was made thoughtful, careful, or anxious by it; or he desired it, sought it, or sought after it, and chose it.

Aboo-ʿObeyd El-Bekree: it differs from طَلَبَهُ in that إِرَادَةٌ is sometimes only conceived in the mind and not apparent, whereas طَلَبٌ is never anything but apparent, either in act or in word.

Th says that it sometimes means loving, or liking, and sometimes it does not.

In the Qurʾān 18:78.

الإِرَادَة is properly said only of a living being, and not of a wall; and there are many similar cases, as in the saying of a poet: [The spear is ready to pierce the breast of Aboo Barà, but it turns away from the blood of the sons of ʿOkeyl]

shāhid 2

يُرِيدُ الرُّمْحُ صَدْرَ أَبِى بَرَآءٍوَ يَعْدِلُ عَنْ رِمَآءِ بَنِى عُقَيْلِ

With tanwīn.

So according to the lexicologists in general; but according to Sb it is a verbal noun.

Synonymous with أَمْهِلْهُ; so it has no dual, no plural and no feminine form.

Hence they say that it stands for إِرْوَادًا in the sense of أَرْوِدْ, as though it were a shortened diminutive formed by dropping the added letters. This is Sb's opinion, for he holds it to be a substitute for أَرْوِدْ, though it more nearly resembles إِرْوَادٌ, because it is a noun.

Others hold it to be the diminutive of رُودٌ, and cite the saying of a poet: [As though he were like one who walks, or goes, gently]

shāhid 1

كَأَنَّهُ مِثْلُ مَنْ يَمْشِى عَلَى رُودِ

. But this is a mistake, for رُودٌ is not put in the place of a verb, as إِرْوَادٌ is.

According to Ibn-Keysán, رُوَيْد seems to have two opposite meanings; for they said رُوَيْدَ زَيْدًا, meaning leave Zeyd alone, and also meaning act gently towards Zeyd and hold him back.

act gently towards ʿAmr—رُوَيْدَكَ عَمْرًا

Synonymous with أَمْهِلْهُ. The ك here marks address and has no effect on the grammatical case; it is added only when رويد is used as an imperative, and to keep the person meant to be addressed from being confused with one not meant, because رويد applies to one and to more than one, and to the male and to the female.

Sometimes one says رويدك to a person when there is no fear of his being confused with another, the ك then being used for emphasis. In this case رويد is a shortened diminutive of إِرْوَاد, the maṣdar of أَرْوَدَ.

act gently towards me—رُوَيْدَكَنِى

Said to a male; to a female one says رُوَيْدَكِنِى; رُوَيْدَكُمَانِى to two people; رُوَيْدَكُمُونِى to more than two males; and رُوَيْدَكُنَّنِى to more than two females.

رُوَيْد is used in four ways. First, as a verbal noun, as in رُوَيْدَ عَمْرًا, that is, أَرْوِدْ عَمْرًا, meaning أَمْهِلْهُ [explained above].

Second, as a maṣdar, as in رُوَيْدَ عَمْرٍو [virtually meaning the same], the first word being prefixed to the second and putting it in the genitive; like فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ in the Qurʾān 47:4, where the maṣdar stands for its verb; and like عَذِيرَ الحَىِّ [explained in the article عذر].

Third, as an adjective, as in سَارُوا سَيْرًا رُوَيْدًا [they went, or journeyed, at a gentle, or unhurried, rate of going]; and رُوَيْدًا سَارُوا, in which سَيْرًا is left out.

Fourth, as a denotative of state, as in سَارَ القَوْمُ رُوَيْدًا [the people, or party, went, or journeyed, going gently, or unhurriedly]; here it stands with a determinate noun, and so states its condition.

When it is used as a threat, it takes naṣb without tanwīn, as in the saying of a poet: [Go gently, lest our coursers neigh, one to another, in El-ʿIrāq: it is as though you were with Ed-Daḥḥāk, whose summoner to battle has already risen]

shāhid 2

رُوَيْدَ تَصَاهَلْ بِٱلْعِرَاقِ جِيَادُنَاكَأَنَّكَ بِالضَّحَّاكِ قَدْ قَامَ نَادِبُهْ

Sb mentions having heard the saying وَٱللّٰهِ لَوْ أَرَدْتَ الدَّرَاهِمَ لَأَعْطَيْتُكَ رُوَيْدَ مَا الشِّعْرَ [By God, if you had wanted the money, I would have given it to you: leave the poetry alone], ما being redundant here; like the phrase فَدَعِ الشِّعْرَ. Similar to this is the saying رُوَيْدَ الشِّعْرَ يَغِبَّ [explained in the article غب].

Gentleness; or a leisurely manner of acting or proceeding. (S, M, A, K.) [And accord. to the TT, as from the M, so رُؤْدٌ ; but this is a mistranscription, for رُؤْدٌ : see this last, in art. رأد .] You say, يَمْشِى عَلَى رُودٍ He walks, or goes, gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner. (S, A, K.) And its dim. is رُوَيْدٌ . (S, A, K. [But see what follows.]) They said رُوَيْدًا , meaning Gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner; (T, S, M, A, K;) with tenween: (T:) and اِمْشِ رُوَيْدًا Walk thou, or go thou, gently, &c.: (T, A:) so accord. to the lexicologists [in general]: but accord. to Sb, it is a verbal n.: [for] they said, رُوَيْدَ زَيْدًا , meaning Act thou gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner, towards, or with, Zeyd; or grant him a delay, or respite; let him alone, or leave him, for a while; syn. أَمْهِلْهُ : hence it has no dual nor pl. nor fem. form: and hence they say that it is for إِرْوَادًا , in the sense of أَرْوِدْ ; as though it were an abbreviated dim., formed by the rejection of the augmentative letters: this is the opinion of Sb; for he holds it to be a substitute for أَرْوِدْ ; though it has a nearer resemblance to إِرْوَادٌ because it is a noun: others hold it to be the dim. of رُودٌ , and cite the saying [of a poet], 1 [As though he were like him who walks, or goes, gently, &c.]: but this is a mistake; for رُودٌ is not put in the place of a verb, as إِرْوَادٌ is. (M.) Accord. to Ibn-Keysán, رُوَيْد seems to have two contr. significations; for they said, رُوَيْدَ زَيْدًا , meaning Leave thou Zeyd, or let him alone; and also meaning act thou gently towards, or with, Zeyd, and retain him, or withhold him. (TA.) One says also, رُوَيْدَكَ عَمْرًا , meaning Act thou gently, &c., towards, or with, 'Amr; syn. أَمْهِلْهُ : (T, * S, M, * K:) the ك in this case being a denotative of allocution, (T, S, M,) and having no place in the desinential syntax: (S, M: *) it is added only when رويد is used in the sense of an imperative; (T, S, K;) and to prevent confusion of him who is meant to be addressed with him who is not meant, because رويد applies to one and to more than one and to the male and to the female; though sometimes one says رويدك to a person when one does not fear his being confounded with another, using the ك as a corroborative. (T.) In this case, رويد is an abbreviated dim. of إِرْوَاد , the inf. n. of أَرْوَدَ . (S.) In like manner also one says, (K, TA,) to a male, (TA,) رُوَيْدَكَنِى [Act thou gently, &c., towards, or with, me]; and to a female, رُوَيْدَكِنِى ; and رُوَيْدَكُمَانِى (K, TA) to two persons; (TA;) and رُوَيْدَكُمُونِى (K, TA) to males more than two; (TA;) and رُوَيْدَكُنَّنِى (K, TA) to females more than two. (TA.) رُوَيْد is used in four different manners: first, as a verbal n.; as in رُوَيْدَ عَمْرًا , (S, K, *) i. e. أَرْوِدْ عَمْرًا , (S,) meaning أَمْهِلْهُ [expl. above]: (S, K:) secondly, as an inf. n.; as in رُوَيْدَ عَمْرٍو [virtually meaning the same]; the former word being prefixed to the latter, governing it in the gen. case; (S, M, * K; *) like فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ , in the Kur [xlvii. 4], (S, M, *) in which the inf. n. is put for its verb; (Jel;) and like عَذِيرَ الحَىِّ [expl. in art. عذر ]: (M:) thirdly, as an epithet; as in سَارُوا سَيْرًا رُوَيْدًا [They went, or journeyed, at a gentle, or leisurely, rate of going, or journeying]; (Sb, S, K;) and رُوَيْدًا سَارُوا , in which سَيْرًا is suppressed: (T:) fourthly, as a denotative of state; as in سَارَ القَوْمُ رُوَيْدًا [The people, or party, went, or journeyed, going, or journeying, gently, or leisurely]; it being here in connection with a determinate noun, and therefore a denotative of its state. (S, K.) When it is used as a threat, it is with nasb, without tenween; (Lth, T, M; *) as in the saying of a poet, 2 [Act thou, or proceed thou, gently, lest our coursers neigh, one to another, in El-'Irák: it is as though thou wert with Ed-Dahhák, his summoner to battle having already risen]. (Lth, T.) Sb mentions his having heard the saying, وَٱللّٰهِ لَوْ أَرَدْتَ الدَّرَاهِمَ لَأَعْطَيْتُكَ رُوَيْدَ مَا الشِّعْرَ [By God, hadst thou desired the money, I had given thee: let alone the poetry: ما being here redundant]: (T, M:) like the phrase, فَدَعِ الشِّعْرَ : (M:) and similar to this is the saying, رُوَيْدَ الشِّعْرَ يَغِبَّ [explained in art. غب ].
