Form 1طَالَ3 senses
maṣdarطُولٌ طَوْلٌmuḍāriʿيَطُولُ

Core sense — it became long, or tall; he surpassed him in height or bountygenerated

1.1it became extended along the surface of the ground—طَالَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ

Some say it belongs to the class of قَرُبَ, made to agree in form with its opposite, which is قَصُرَ; others say it belongs to the class of قَالَ, first person طُلْتُ, said to be originally طَوُلْتُ, because one says طَوِيلٌ and not طَائِلٌ when using it as an intransitive verb..

it became extended upwards towards the sky—طَالَ فِى السَّمَآءِ
it became long, or extended—استطال

It (a thing) became long, or extended; it became tall, or high. The fuller phrasings that follow are used to avoid ambiguity.

It is also said of any time that is extended, and of anxiety that clings to a person continually, and the like; see طُولٌ below.

the night became long, or drawn out—طَالَ اللَّيْلُ
the time became long, or was prolonged, for them—طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَمَدُ
their lives became long, or were prolonged—تَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ العُمُرُ
the time of the assembly became long—طال المَجْلِسُ
anxiety became prolonged—طال الهَمُّ
for a long time he did so—طَالَمَا فَعَلَ كَذَا

With the restrictive ما; see Har p. 17.

on this sense The example from the Kur 57:15 means: the time was prolonged for them; the example from the Kur 28:45 means: their lives were prolonged.

Qur’ān 57:16 Lane quotes this verse
أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ

Has not the Time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed (to them), and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.2I exceeded him, or surpassed him, in height—طُلْتُهُ

When transitive without a particle it is of the class of فَعَلَ, not فَعُلَ, since that class is not transitive.

That is, in الطُّول [tallness]; I overtopped him. It is also said of الطَّوْل [beneficence, excellence, and the like]. See Form 3.

A poet says: [Truly El-Farezdak is a bare rock that has exceeded in height the mountain-goats, so that the mountain-goats do not reach it]

shāhid
إِنَّ الفَرَزْدَقَ صَخْرَةٌ عَارِيَةٌطَالَتْ فَلَيْسَ تَنَالُهَا الأَوْعَالُ

; he means طَالَتِ الأَوْعَالَ.

and El-'Abbás exceeded 'Omar in tallness of stature—فَطَالَ العَبَّاسُ عُمَرَ
he excelled him in the grounds of claim to respect or honour—طَالَهُ فِى الحَسَبِ

From a tradition.

This is the explanation of شَرَفَهُ, which in the CK is wrongly given as طاوَلَهُ.

1.3he bestowed a benefit, or a favour, upon him—طال عَلَيْهِ

In this case the verb is of the class of قَالَ; maṣdar طَوْلٌ, تطوّل, and اطال.

he bestowed a benefit, or a favour, upon them—عَلَيْهِمْ
he gave us a thing—تطوّل عَلَيْنَا بِشَىْءٍ

Like تَنَوَّلَ, but Aboo-Mihjen says that the latter is used only of what is good, while the former is sometimes used of good and of evil. See the article نول.

20:86
فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَـٰنَ أَسِفًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا ۚ أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْعَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ فَأَخْلَفْتُم مَّوْعِدِى

So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"

21:44
بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ ۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَآ ۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

Nay, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?

57:16
أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ

Form 2طوّلهُ1 sense
maṣdarتَطْوِيلٌ

Core sense — he lengthened it, he made it long or tallgenerated

2.1he lengthened it; he extended it; he made it long, tall, or high—أَطْوَلَهُ

This verb and the headword have the same meaning; the maṣdar of the headword is تَطْوِيلٌ and اطالهُ, and that of this verb is إِطَالَةٌ. Both are synonymous with مَدَّهُ and جَعَلَهُ طَوِيلًا.

I lengthened the piece of iron—طَوَّلْتُ الحَدِيدَةَ
God prolonged his continuance in life—اطال ٱللّٰهُ بَقَآءَهُ
he prolonged the time of the assembly—اطال المَجْلِسَ
he slackened the tether of the horse, or of the beast, in the pasture—طوَّل لِلْفَرَسِ

Or: may God prolong it.

Also said as لِلدَّابَّةِ; and اطال لَهَا الطِّوَلَ and الطِّيَلَ mean the same. The point is that the beast may graze more widely.

he granted him a delay, or respite—طوّل لَهُ
he delayed, or deferred, with him—المُطَاوَلَةُ فِى الأَمْرِ

Said of God.

That is, التَّطْوِيلُ فِيهِ; طاولهُ means he deferred with him فِى الأَمْرِ [in the affair], or فِى الدَّيْنِ [in the case of the debt], and العِدَةِ [the promise].

he was long-winded, or tedious, to him—طوّل عَلَيْهِ

تطوّل has the same meaning; see Form 2 in the article بسق, and an example of the first under حَوْزٌ.

Core sense — beneficence, bounty; a gift; power, wealth, or superioritygenerated

Originally a maṣdar; see طَالَ عَلَيْهِ.

Used as a simple noun: beneficence; bounty; a benefit, a favour, a boon, or a gift.

1.1such a one has excellence, or superabundance, above such a one—لِفُلَانٍ عَلَى فُلَانٍ طَوْلٌ

And, as also طَائِلٌ and طَائِلَةٌ: excellence, excess, or superabundance; power, or ability; wealth, or competence; ampleness of circumstances; superiority, or ascendancy.

whoever of you is not able to obtain superabundance, let him marry a female slave—وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنْكُمْ طَوْلًا أَنْ يَنْكِحَ ٱلمُحْصَنَاتِ

In the Kur 4:29; that is, whoever is not able to obtain enough to marry free women, or, as Zj explains it, whoever is not able to give the dowry of a free woman.

In the phrase طَوْلُ الحُرَّةِ the first word is originally the maṣdar of the verb in طَالَ عَلَيْهَا, meaning “he benefited her”, because a man who is able to give the dowry of a free woman and pays it benefits her.

Or, as some of the lawyers say, this phrase means the surplus of the means of sustenance that suffices for marrying a free woman, which agrees with a saying of Az.

Or, as others say, طول means wealth, or competence, and the phrase is originally طَوْلٌ إِلَى الحُرَّةِ, that is, ampleness of wealth supplying the means of attaining to a free woman; or originally طَوْلٌ عَلَى الحُرَّةِ, meaning power, or ability, for marrying a free woman.

Esh-Shaabee is related to have used the phrase الطَّوْلُ إِلَى الحُرَّةِ, and so also I'Ab, Jábir, and Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr.

If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when they are taken in wedlock, if they fall into shame, their punishment is half that for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it is better for you that ye practise self-restraint. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

Core sense — a tether, the rope by which a beast is tied to pasturegenerated

1

Other forms are طِوَلٌّ, which occurs for it in poetry, and طِيَلٌ, for which also طِيَلٌّ occurs in poetry, and طَوِيلَةٌ, which Az disapproves, and تِطْوَلٌ.

A tether: the rope that is extended for a horse or similar beast, attached to which it pastures; a rope with which the leg of such a beast is bound; a long rope so used; or one with which a man binds the beast while holding its end and letting it pasture; or one of whose two ends is tied to a stake and the other to the fore leg of a horse, so that it may go round about tied by it and pasture without straying.

An example of the first of these words occurs in a verse of Tarafeh cited under ثِنْىٌ.

It is said in a tradition that when a man of an army halts in a place, he may keep others off to the extent of the طِوَل of his horse.

1.1figurative · مجازhe left him to his own affair—أَرْخَى لَهُ الطِّوَلَ

Literally: he slackened the tether to him. See the article رخو.

The same is said with طِيَلُكَ, طِيلُكَ, طُولُكَ, طُوَلُكَ, طَوَالُكَ, طِيَالُكَ, and طَوْلُكَ. See also طِيلَةٌ.

Or: your absence; or your tarrying, and your flagging in an affair.

Long, or extended; tall, or high. Also طُوَالٌ — but see طُوَّالٌ — and مُسْتَطِيلٌ.

أَطْوَلُ is used in the sense of طَوِيلَةٌ, being sometimes synonymous with طَوِيلٌ and طَوِيلَةٌ, in a verse of El-Farezdak cited under عَزِيزٌ.

From a comparison of the explanations of سُرْحُوبٌ and سَلْهَبٌ and the like, it seems that طَوِيلٌ, applied to a horse or the like, generally means long-bodied.

طَوِيلٌ is the only adjective known to IJ of the measure فَعِيلٌ with a sound ف and ل and with و for its ع, except صَوِيبٌ and قَوِيمٌ; for عَوِيصٌ he holds to be used only as a noun. See the article صوب.

The plural of طَوِيلٌ and طُوَالٌ is طِوَالٌ and طِيَالٌ, the latter irregular and said by IJ to occur in only one verse. The feminine is طَوِيلَةٌ and طُوَالَةٌ, and the plural of the first of these is طَوِيلَاتٌ.

1.1the night is long, and may it not be long except with good fortune—إِنَّ اللَّيْلَ طَوِيلٌ وَلَا يَطُلْ إِلَّا بِخَيْرٍ

a short thing from a tall thing—قَصِيرَةٌ مِنْ طَوِيلَةٍ

Meaning a date from a palm-tree; a proverb alluding to the shortening of speech, or language. IAar and Meyd. See also Form 4.

1.2

الطَّوِيلُ is also the name of a certain metre of verse, [namely, the first,] consisting of فَعُولُنْ مَفَاعِيلُنْ eight [a mistake for four] times. It is so called because it is the longest of all the metres of verse, originally comprising forty-eight letters; a postclassical term.

[Hence its usage in the following exs.] One says of that which is vile, or contemptible, (Msb, K, TA,) هُوَ غَيْرَ طَائِلٍ , (Msb,) or مَا هُوَ بِطَائِلٍ , (K, TA,) [It is not good for anything; it is unprofitable, useless, or worthless]; and in this manner it is used alike as masc. and fem. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., ضَرَبْتُهُ بِسَيْفٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ , meaning I smote him with a sword that was not sharp. (TA.) And in another trad., كُفِّنَ فِى كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ i. e. [He was shrouded in grave-clothing] not of delicate texture, and not of a goodly kind. (TA.) And [hence] it signifies [also] Benefit, profit, utility, or avail; and excellence: thus in the saying, هٰذَا أَمْرٌ لَا طَائِلَ فِيهِ [This is an affair in which is no benefit, &c.]: (S, O, TA:) and لَمْ يَحْلَ مِنْهُ بِطَائِلٍ [He did not find or experience, or get or obtain, from it, or him, any benefit, &c.]: it is only used in negative phrases [in this sense]: (S, O, K, TA:) and [thus] one says also, نَطَقَ بِمَا لَا طَائِلَ تَحْتَهُ [He spoke that in which was no profit]. (TA in art. بوق .) See also طَوْلٌ , second sentence.

Core sense — exceeding in length, or in beneficence; longer, tallergenerated

1the seven longer chapters of the Qur'ān—السَّبْعُ الطُّوَلُ

Exceeding, or surpassing, in الطُّول [length, and tallness or height]; and also in الطَّوْل [beneficence, excellence, and the like]. Feminine طُولَى; the plural of the former, applied to men, is أَطَاوِلُ, and of the latter طُوَلٌ.

These are the chapter of البَقَرَة and the next five chapters, the last of which is الأَعْرَاف, and one other, which is the chapter of يُونُس; or الأَنْفَال and بَرَآءَة together, these being reckoned as one chapter; or, as some say, الكَهْف; and some say التَّوْبَة, which is the same as بَرَآءَة; and some say the chapters commonly called the حَوَامِيم, which are the fortieth and the six following chapters. But the first of all these statements is the right one.

the longer of the two longer chapters of the Qur'ān—طُولَى الطُّولَيَيْنِ

This occurs in a tradition of Umm-Selemeh, who explained it as the chapter of الأَعْرَاف. الطُّولَيَانِ means الأَنْعَام and الأَعْرَاف.

the quickest of you in coming to me will be the most generous of you in giving—أَسْرَعُكُنَّ لُحُوقًا بِى أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا

Or, as some relate it, لَحَاقًا. It is a saying of the Prophet to his wives.
