muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarصَدْعٌ صُدُوعٌ

Core sense — he split it, or cracked it; he separated them; he made it cleargenerated

1.1he split it, slit it, or cracked it—صدّعهُ

. He split, slit, or cracked it [i.e. a hard thing, such as a glass vessel, and a wall, and the like of these; or so generally]; synonym شَقَّهُ.

It appears to be intensive, or to relate to a number of objects; its maṣdar is تَصْدِيعٌ.

Or so as to divide it in halves; or so that it did not separate.

1.1.1he slit it, or rent it—صَدَعَهُ صَدْعَ الرِّدَآءِ

Like the slitting, or rending, of the garment called رداء.

1.1.2figurative · مجازhe traversed, or crossed, the desert—صَدَعَ الفَلَاةَ

As though he clave it.

he journeyed during the night—صَدَعَ اللَّيْلَ

Maṣdar as above.

1.1.3figurative · مجاز — inferredseparating, dispersing, or scattering—صَدْعٌ

تَصْدِيعٌ has the same meaning; synonym تَفْرِيقٌ, with which each is probably synonymous in other but similar senses.

he, or it, separated, or scattered, the thing—صَدَعَ الشَّىْءَ

I separated, or scattered, the people, or party—صَدَعْتُ القَوْمَ

[the place that was the object of the journey separated them from their homes &c.]—صَدَعَتْهُمُ النَّوَى

Equivalent to فَرَّقَتْهُم.

Also صَدَّعَتْهُم, from which comes التَّصْدَاعُ [as a maṣdar, like التَّصْدِيعُ].

I divided the sheep, or the goats, into two flocks or herds—صَدَعْتُ الغَنَمَ صِدْعَتَيْنِ

1.1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredI made the thing distinct, apparent, clear, or plain—صَدَعْتُ الشَّىْءَ

As though it were separate from others. Hence the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb in a verse cited in art. فيض, Form 4.

1.1.5figurative · مجاز — inferredhe spoke the truth openly, or aloud, distinguishing it from falsehood—صَدَعَ بِالحَقِّ

Muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above.

1.1.6figurative · مجازtherefore cleave, or divide, their congregation—فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ

In the Qur'ān 15:94.

Or: order, ordain, or decree the truth; and decide according to the ordinance prescribed to you; or direct your course by that revelation with the preaching of which you are charged. So says Th, on the authority of an Arab of the desert; and according to him:

Apparently by separating the believers from the unbelievers, with what you are charged with (بِهِ being understood after تؤمر), that is, with the declaration of the unity of God.

Or: distinguish by it between the truth and falsehood; or dispense among them in their collective state what you are charged with, that is, the announcement of the unity; or reveal, or make manifest, what you are charged with, and fear no one, or the ordinance, that is, your religion. ما, with what follows it, is held by Fr, who explains the phrase in this way, to occupy the place of a maṣdar, namely الأَمْر.

Or: utter openly, or aloud, what you are charged with, meaning, according to Ibn-Mujáhid, the Qur'ān.

In the R it is said to be from الصَّدِيعُ, meaning "the daybreak"; ignorance being likened to the darkness of night, and the Qur'ān to light that cleaves that darkness.

1.1.7figurative · مجازhe directed his course to such a one because of his generosity—صَدَعَ فُلَانًا

1.1.8figurative · مجاز — inferredhe hit, or attained, with the affair, its proper place—صَدَعَ بِالأَمْرِ

Core sense — of a middling size, neither great nor small; youthful and stronggenerated

This and صَدْعٌ, or the former only: applied to a mountain-goat, a gazelle, an ass [apparently a wild ass], and a camel: of a middling size, neither great nor small, but between the two; or youthful and strong. [See also صَدِيعٌ.]

Or the former word signifies a thing of any sort between two things: between tall and short, youthful and advanced in age, fat and lean, great and small.

1.1

For the former word as applied to a man: see صَدْعٌ.

1.2

Also, applied to a man: penetrating, sharp, or effective, in his affair.

It is said that صَدَعٌ also signifies the صَدَأ [i.e. rust] of iron. But this seems to be a mistake, which has arisen from what follows.

It is said that a certain person called El-Uskuff [which generally means "the bishop"], being asked by 'Omar about the Khaleefehs, designated him who was afterwards the fourth of them, 'Alee, as صَدَعٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ, meaning by it, literally, a mountain-goat of iron, using it as an exaggerated title for his might, courage, endurance and hardness.

Or the phrase, as some relate it, is صَدَأٌ حَديدٌ [which may be rendered "light or active in body" (a meaning assigned to صَدَأٌ and صَدَعٌ, the latter of which is said to be the original in this sense), and "sharp"]; or صَدَأُ حَدِيدٍ [i.e. "rust of iron," apparently alluding to his frequent and long-continued wearing of mail and bearing of weapons], which last is thought by As to be most probably correct.

Core sense — divisions in opinion and affectiongenerated

1figurative · مجاز — inferredbetween them is division—بَيْنَهُمْ صَدَعَاتٌ فِى الرَّأْىِ وَالهَوَى

[repair the divisions that are among you]—أَصْلِحُوا مَا فِيكُمْ مِنَ الصَّدَعَاتِ

[they are, in spite of the divisions among them, intelligent and generous]—إِنَّهُمْ عَلَى مَا فِيهِمْ مِنَ الصَّدَعَاتِ أَلِبَّآءُ كِرَامٌ

Divisions in opinion and the like.

In opinion and affection; or rather, between them are divisions.

That is, become united.

It is stated in the TA, among the additions to the K in this article, that one says also إِنَّهُمْ عَلَى مَا تَرَى مِنْ صَدَاعَتِهِمْ لَكِرَامٌ, apparently meaning: they are, in spite of what you see of their disunion, generous. But I think it most probable that صَدَاعَتِهِمْ is a mistranscription for صَدَعَاتِهِمْ.

Reiske, as stated by Freytag, explains it as also signifying camels going swiftly.
