Form 1شَمِلَهُمُ الأَمْرُ11 senses · 4 main
muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarشَمْلٌ شَمَلٌ شُمُولٌ

Core sense — the event included them all; he covered him with a cloak; the wind blew northerlygenerated

1.1the event, or case, included them all within the reach of its effect or influence—عَمَّهُمْ

and شَمَلَهُم. This second verb was unknown to As, and Lh says it is rare.

which belongs to the first verb, and also شُمُولٌ and شَمْلٌ.

he, or it, caused good or evil, or good and evil, to befall them all alike—شَمِلَهُمْ خَيْرًا

Also شَرًّا, or خَيْرًا and شَرًّا, in the pattern of فَرِحَ (in the CK, in the pattern of فَرِحَ).

he, or it, included them all with evil—أَشْمَلَهُمْ شَرًّا

Explained as عَمَّهُمْ بِهِ; but one should not say اشملهم خَيْرًا.

It is uncertain whether this, or what follows, gives the primary meaning of شَمِلَ.

1.1.1he covered, or enveloped, him—شَمِلَهُ

.

With the شَمْلَة, or with the مِشْمَلَة. ISd thinks this is what is meant by Lh's explanation, which is غَطَّى عَلَيْهِ المِشْمَلَةَ.

1.1.2this is a شملة of a size sufficient for you—هٰذِهِ شَمْلَةٌ تَشْمَلُكَ

Explained as تَسَعُكَ.

I bought a شملة of a size sufficient for me—اِشْتَرَيْتُ شَمْلَةً ثَشْمَلُنِى
1.1.3she admitted the impregnating seed, or she conceived—شَمِلَتْ لِقَاحًا

.

Said of a she-camel. مِنْ فَحْلِ فُلَانٍ: from the stallion of such a one.

1.1.4your camels concealed among them a he-camel belonging to us—شَمِلَتْ إِبِلُكُمْ بَعِيرًا لَنَا

By his entering amid their dense multitude; so in the M and the Moheet.

1.2he suspended the kind of bag called شِمَال upon the ewe or she-goat—شَمَلَ الشَّاةَ

This verb, and اشملها, also mean: he put a شِمَال on the ewe or she-goat, or made one for her.

Muḍāriʿ شَمُلَ and شَمِلَ.

he suspended a شِمَال upon the she-camel—شَمَلَ النَّاقَةَ

He also bound it upon her udder.

Some say this.

1.3he took the direction of the left hand in travelling it—شَمَلَ بِهِ

synonym أَخَذَ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ. So explained by IAar; see the ism mafʿūl.

1.3.1figurative · مجاز — inferredthe wind shifted to a northerly direction—شَمَلَتِ الرِّيحُ

maṣdar شُمُولٌ and شَمَالٌ, or شَمْلٌ.

شَمَالًا; so explained by Lh.

Or: the wind blew northerly; synonym هَبَّتْ شَمَالًا, as also أَشْمَلَت. [In the TA I find أَشْمَلَت الريح ذهبت شماليل مثل شَمَّلت, but I have no doubt that this is a miscopying of the passage in the O, which I have followed here, that is أَشْمَلَتِ الرِيحُ هَبَّت شَمالًا مِثل شَمَلَت, or of a similar passage in which إِذَا هَبَّتْ stands instead of هَبَّتْ alone.]

their wind has become north, or northerly—شَمَلَتْ رِيحُهُمَا

Said of two people when they have parted; the TA has it under جَنُوبٌ. See also مَشْمُولٌ.

1.3.2he exposed the wine to the شَمَال [i.e. the north, or northerly, wind], so that it became cold, or cool—شَمَلَ الخَمْرَ

.

1.3.3they were smitten, or blown upon, by the wind called the شَمَال—شُمِلُوا

Also given as شَمِلُوا, [expressly said to be] like فَرِحُوا; but I think that a mistake, since the weight of authority and the form of the ism mafʿūl, which is مَشْمُولٌ, are against it.

1.4he picked the ripe dates that were on the palm-tree—شَمَلَ النَّخْلَةَ

.

Also اشملها and شَمْلَلَهَا, this last mentioned on the authority of Seer; but some say it means: he took of the شَمَالِيل of the palm-tree, that is, of the few dates left on it.

8.1he wrapped, or enwrapped, himself with his garment—تَلَفَّفَ
he wrapped the garment round his whole body so that his arm did not come out of it—اشتمل بِالثَّوْبِ
wrapping oneself in the garment so as to cover the body, leaving no opening to put the hand out—اِشْتِمَالُ الصَّمَّآءِ

Or, as some say: he wrapped himself in the garment and threw part of it over his left side. See also form 5.

This is forbidden by the Prophet; so explained by As. It is also called التَّلَفُّعُ, and sometimes a person reclines in the state thus described.

A 'Obeyd says that by the explanation of the lawyers it is wrapping oneself in one garment, with no other on, then raising it on one side and putting it upon the shoulders. [So says Sgh; and he adds,] whoever explains it in this way has in view the dislike of a person uncovering himself and exposing the private parts; and whoever explains it as the lexicologists do dislikes covering the whole body, for fear of getting into a state in which breathing would be blocked and the person would die.

Or it is covering the whole body with the كِسَآء, or with the إِزَار; to which some add: without raising any of the sides. [See also the article صم.]

he covers the sword with his garment—يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى السَّيفِ

Of camels a pair, and oxen a pair; say, hath He forbidden the two males, or the two females, or (the young) which the wombs of the two females enclose? - Were ye present when Allah ordered you such a thing? But who doth more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allah, to lead astray men without knowledge? For Allah guideth not people who do wrong.

A state of union, or of being composed; and also a state of disunion, or of being uncomposed: so the word has two opposite meanings. Or: a united, composed state of the affairs and of the numbers of a people; and a disunited, discomposed state of their affairs.

Said in imprecating evil upon enemies, or upon an enemy; also فَرَّقَ ٱللّٰهُ شَمْلَهُمْ or فرّق اللّٰه شَمْلَهُ, meaning: may God dissolve, break up, discompose, derange, disorganize, disorder, or unsettle their, or his, united state of affairs.

may God unite their disunited state of affairs—جَمَعَ ٱللّٰهُ شَمْلَهُمْ

Said in the opposite case; also شَمْلَهُ.

. AZ cites this example in his Nawādir; but Aboo-'Omar El-Jarmee says that he had heard the word in this shape only in this verse, while Ibn-Buzurj cites another verse with an example of the same.

1.1he entered amid their dense multitude—دَخَلَ فِى شَمْلِهَا

Said of a he-camel that has become concealed among a herd of she-camels; also شَمَلِهَا. So in the M and the Moheet.

2a raceme of a palm-tree—شِمْلٌ

Et-Tirimmāḥ compares a camel's tail to it. Or one that has little fruit; or one from which some of the fruit has been plucked. But AO used to say that it is the produce, or spadix, of the male palm-tree while still not abundant or large.

Core sense — the north wind, or a northerly windgenerated

This is the commonest form of the word; and شِمَالٌ [a form which I think objectionable, as likely to cause confusion, though it is probably the original form,] and شَمْأَلٌ and شَمْأَلٌّ (in one place in the O wrongly written شَأمَلّ) and شَأْمَلٌ, which is formed by transposition, and شَامَلٌ without ء, and شَوْمَلٌ and شَيْمَلٌ and شَمُولٌ and شَمِيلٌ and شَمَلٌ and شَمْلٌ, the last of which ISd says was not heard except in the poetry of El-Baʿeeth, and شَمَلٌّ.

Every one of these is used as a noun and as an adjective, so that one says رِيحُ الشَّمَالِ and the like as well as رِيحٌ شَمَالٌ and the like, and شَمَالٌ and the like by itself: the north wind, or a northerly wind.

It is the wind opposite to the جَنُوب; the wind that blows from the direction of the قُطْب, the pole-star; or the wind that blows from the direction of the حِجْر, which is on what is called the north, but is rather to be called the north-west, side of the Kaabeh; or the wind that blows from the direction of the right hand of a person facing the Kibleh, by which is meant the angle of the Black Stone, so that, correctly speaking, it is from the north; or, correctly, the wind that blows from between the place of sunrise and the constellation of the Bear; or from between the place of sunrise and the setting-place of the constellation of the Eagle.

[That is, a wind that blows from some point of the north-east quarter, or nearly so; but it was probably named as the wind blowing from the direction of the شِمَال, the left side, of a person facing the rising sun, and therefore the north wind or a northerly wind.]

It seldom, or never, blows in the night. When it blows for seven days upon the people of Egypt, they prepare the grave-clothes, for its nature is deadly. It is cold and dry. [See also نَكْبَآءُ.]

The plural of شَمَالٌ is شَمَالَاتٌ and شَمَائِلُ, which is irregular, as though it were the plural of شَمَالَةٌ. الأَشَامِل also occurs, coupled with الأَجَانِب, in a verse of Et-Tirimmāḥ; and since أَجَانِبُ is a regular plural of أَجْنُبٌ, which is a plural of جَنُوبٌ, ISd thinks that they formed from شَمْلٌ the plural أَشْمَلٌ, and then from this last the plural أَشَامِلُ.

Wine is said to be so called because it envelops people with its odour; or because, when opened, it has a strong puff like that of the wind called شَمَال [in the CK شمال].

Core sense — blown upon by the north wind; cool to the taste, said of winegenerated

1figurative · مجاز

A man smitten, or blown upon, by the north, or northerly, wind called شَمَال; and likewise a meadow, and a pool of water left by a torrent — or, of this last, smitten by that wind so that it became cool.

And hence, with ة: wine cool to the taste; or wine exposed to the شَمَال and so made cool and pleasant. See also شَمُولٌ.

And fire upon which the wind called the شَمَال has blown; and a night that is cold, with the wind called شَمَال.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred

One whose natural dispositions are liked, approved, or found pleasant: from the same adjective applied to water upon which the شَمَال has blown and which it has cooled; or, as ISd thinks, from شَمُولٌ.

Or مَشْمُولُ الخَلَائِقِ: a man whose natural dispositions are praised, being likened to wine that is praised; and also one whose natural dispositions are blamed, as though from الشَّمَالُ, because people do not praise it when it disperses the clouds — for أَخْلَاقٌ مَشْمُولَةٌ sometimes means blamed, evil, natural dispositions.

Aboo-Wejzeh says: [Her familiarity passes away with the شَمَال, and her promises pass away with the جَنُوب, which is the opposite of the شَمَال]

shāhid 1
مَشْمُولَةُ الأُنْسِ مَجْنُوبٌ مَوَاعِدُهَا

; so IAar explains it.

Or, as some relate it,

shāhid 2
مَجْنُوبَةُ الأُنْسِ مَشْمُولٌ مَوَاعِدُهَا

, meaning the same, as is said on the authority of IAar in the article جنب; or, according to ISk, meaning that her familiarity is praised, because the جنوب, with rain, is desired for abundance of herbage, and her promises are not praised.

1.2figurative · مجاز — inferreda tract, or place, towards which one journeys, that separates friends—نَوًى مَشْمُولَةٌ

A phrase used by Zuheyr; so explained because the wind called شَمَال disperses the clouds.

Or it means quickly, or soon, becoming exposed to view, from the fact that when the wind called the شَمَال blows on the clouds they are soon cleared away and gone. Or, according to IAar, it means مَأْخُوذٌ بِهَا ذَاتُ الشِّمَالِ, in which the direction of the left hand is taken.

1.3

In the saying

shāhid
حَمَلَتْ بِهِ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مَشْمُولَةٌ

, the meaning is فَرِعَةٌ: one in a state of fright became pregnant with him in a certain night. This refers to the phrase شَمْلٌ مِنْ جُنُونٍ.
