شرى

— the more used of the two, and of the dialect of Nejd — and شِرَآءٌ, of the dialect of El-Hijáz; or this last may be said with medd to make it match a preceding word, according to El-Munádee, or may be regarded as a maṣdar of شَارَاهُ.

Same as بَاعَهُ in the sense in which that is generally used, i.e. he sold it: he gave it for a price. It is also the same as اِشْتَرَاهُ in its usual sense, i.e. he bought it: he took it, or acquired it, for a price.

Or شَرَاهُ and اشتراه both signify بَاعَهُ, he sold it, the former being more used in this sense than the latter; and both also mean he bought it, he possessed it by sale, which is the more usual meaning of the latter.

So each verb has two opposite meanings: the seller and the buyer both sell and buy, the price and the thing priced, so that each of the things exchanged is sold from one point of view and bought from another.

The first is from the Qur'ān 2:203, the second from 12:20, the third from 2:15.

Originally ٱشْتَرَيُوا, meaning who have taken الضلالة in exchange for الهدى (Ksh), or who have preferred الضلالة to الهدى (Ksh).

Of anyone who gives up one thing and lays hold of another one says اشتراه, used figuratively as meaning he took it in exchange بِغَيْرِهِ by giving up something else; and hence this saying in the Qur'ān.

. The eruption is that termed شَرًى.

the same as شَرَّرَهُ.

In copies of the K, under شر, it is written in this sense شَرَّاهُ.

Said of flesh-meat, of a garment or piece of cloth, and of the preparation of curd called أَقِط.

. Said of lightning.

Or it shone, or gleamed, and spread in the face of the clouds, or, as in the T, became dispersed in the face of the clouds.

اشرى means the same, or it shone, or gleamed, one flash after another; this verb is mentioned by Sgh.

. The eruption is that termed شَرًى.

Maṣdar مُشَارَاةٌ and شِرَآءٌ.

That شاراه has both of these meanings is shown by the fact that مُشَارَاةٌ is also explained in the TA, on the authority of Er-Rāghib, as meaning the same as قِبَاضٌ.

Said of lightning: see form 1, latter half.

It became scattered, or dispersed: according to the M, said in this sense of a company of men.

Also the bad, or worse, or worst, of cattle.

According to J, in the S, شَرْىٌ [said in the S to be like شَوَى المَالِ], which is said to be a mistake; but El-Bedr El-Karáfee questions that it is.

And the good, or better, or best, of them; also شَرَاةٌ: so it has two opposite meanings, and so says ISk. But ISd says that شَرَاةٌ إِبِلٌ, like سَرَاةٌ, means choice camels.

And a certain eruption upon the body, resembling dirhems; or small pimples or purulent pustules with a burning property; or small pimples or purulent pustules, red, itching and distressing, generally coming out all at once, but sometimes gradually, and becoming more severe by night because a hot vapour breaks out at once upon the body: thus in the “Kánoon” of Ibn-Seenà, or Avicenna.

The like of a thing, because a thing is sometimes bought with the like of it. The و in it is a substitute for ى, as it is in تَقْوَى and the like. It is used alike as singular and plural, and according to the TA it seems that شَرْىٌ means the same.

Said of Shureyh.

From a tradition of 'Omar, relating to the collecting of the poor-rate.

The و in it is a substitute for ى. This and شِرَائِىٌّ, both meaning of or relating to selling, and also of or relating to buying, are relative nouns: the former from the maṣdar شِرًى, the latter from the.

See شَرْىٌ.

This and شَرْيَانٌ: the former is the more in repute, and is said to be quasi-quadriliteral, like جِرْيَالٌ [and is therefore mentioned also in the TA under شرن], but IB holds it to be of the measure فِعْلَانٌ.

A kind of tree, of the عِضَاه of the mountains, of which bows are made; ism waḥda with ة.

AHn says that the tree so called grows in the manner, and to the height and width, of the species of lote-tree called سِدْر, and has a yellow, sweet نَبِقَة [or drupe].

He adds that Aboo-Ziyád says bows are made of the شريان, and the bow made of it is good, but black tinged with redness; its wood is among those woods of which good bows are commonly made, and they assert that it seldom, or never, becomes crooked.

Mbr says that the نَبْع, the شَوْحَط and the شريان are one kind of tree, differing in name and estimation according to the places of growth: what grows on the summit of the mountain is the نبع, and what grows at the base, or lower part, is the شريان. [But see شَوْحَطٌ.]

See شِرَوِىٌّ.
