And We made a people, considered weak (and of no account), inheritors of lands in both east and west, - lands whereon We sent down Our blessings. The fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel, because they had patience and constancy, and We levelled to the ground the great works and fine buildings which Pharaoh and his people erected (with such pride).

Core sense — a booth, or shed, for shade; a house; a roof; a thronegenerated

1a booth, or shed, or thing constructed for shadeمِظَلَّةٌ

Mostly made of canes, or reeds; and sometimes of palm-sticks with ثُمَام [a species of panic grass] thrown over them, as Az describes on the authority of the Arabs; and such is meant by the عَرْش of Moses.

A thing resembling a house, or tent, made of palm-sticks with ثُمَام put over it; the same as عَرِيشٌ.

Also a booth, or shed, syn. خَيْمَةٌ, made of wood and ثمان; the same as عَرِيشٌ; and such is meant by the عَرِيش of Moses. Sometimes the عَرِيش was made of palm-sticks with ثُمَام thrown over them.

Both mean a thing, or a house, or the like, used for shade.

Plural of the first, عُرُوشٌ, عُرُشٌ, أَعْرَاشٌ [which is a plural of paucity], and عِرَشَةٌ. Or عُرُشٌ is the plural of عَرِيشٌ, not of عَرْشٌ; or it is also a plural of عَرِيشٌ; and عُرُوشٌ is also a plural of عُرْشٌ, which is a plural of عَرِيشٌ.

Hence the houses of Mekkeh, in which the needy of its people lived, or its ancient houses, were called العُرُوشُ, العُرُشُ and العُرْشُ, because they were of poles, or sticks, set up and shaded over. Or Mekkeh itself was called العُرْشُ; or it was called العَرْشُ, with fatḥ, and العَرِيشُ, and its houses were called العُرْشُ and العُرُوشُ.

Hence also the saying of Saad, when he heard that Muʿāwiyeh forbade performing the greater and the minor pilgrimage together: تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ ٱللّٰهِ صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفُلَانٌ كَافِرٌ بِالْعُرُشِ, or بِالْعُرُوشِ, that is, [We performed the greater and the minor pilgrimage together with the Apostle of God, (God bless and save him,)] when such a one, meaning Muʿāwiyeh, was abiding in his state of unbelief in Mekkeh, that is, in its houses; or, as some say, was hiding himself in the houses of Mekkeh.

1.1

A house [in an absolute sense]; a dwelling, or place of abode. Plural عُرُشٌ [and عُرُوشٌ].

1.2

A building of the kind called قَصْر.

1.3

The wood upon which the drawer of water stands; or a structure of wood built at the head of the well, giving shade. [Plural عُرُوشٌ.] When the props are pulled away, the عُرُوش fall down.

[عَرْشٌ in relation to a well has another meaning also, given below.]

1.4

The wooden thing [or trellis] which serves to prop a grape-vine. [But this is more commonly called عَرِيشٌ.]

1.5having fallen down upon its roofsخَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا

The roof of a house or the like. Plural عُرُوشٌ.

So in a tradition where a lamp is mentioned as hung to the عرش; and in another, in which a man relates that when he was upon his عرش he used to hear the Prophet's reciting [of the Kur-án].

So it has also been explained in the phrase of the Kur-án [2:261 and 22:44]: meaning that its walls were standing when their roofs had been demolished and had fallen to the foundations, and then the walls fell down upon the roofs demolished before them.

But some take على here as meaning عَنْ [from].

1.6the عَرْش of God, which cannot be definedالعَرْشُ

I'Ab is related to have said that the كُرْسِىّ is the place of the feet, and that the عَرْش is immeasurable.

Er-Rāghib, in the Mufradāt: the عَرْش of God is one of the things which people do not know in reality, but only by name; and it is not what the imaginations of the common people hold it to be, [namely, the throne of God;] for if it were, it would be a support to Him and not supported, whereas God says [in the Kur-án, 35:39], “God holds the heavens and the earth, lest they should move from their place; and if they should move from their place, no one would hold them after Him.”

Or, as some say, it is the highest sphere, [or the empyrean,] and the كرسىّ is the sphere of the stars. As an indication of this they cite the saying of Mohammad that the seven heavens and earths, beside the كرسىّ, are nothing but as a ring thrown down in a desert land; and such is the كرسىّ with respect to the عَرْش. This assertion is mentioned in the B, but without approval: [it appears, however, to be the most commonly accepted:] or it is a red sapphire, which glistens with the light of the Supreme.

[Hence the saying] مِنَ العَرْشِ إِلَى الفَرْشِ, meaning [from the highest sphere, or the empyrean, to] the earth.

1.7he reigned as kingاِسْتَوَى عَلَى عَرْشِهِ

Also the سَرِير [or throne] of a king; the seat of a sultan. Er-Rāghib: [perhaps as being likened to the عرش of God; or, more probably, because it is generally surmounted by a canopy; or] because of its height.

1.8four small starsعَرْشُ السِّمَاكِ

And certain stars in advance of السِّمَاك الأَعْزَل [which is Spica Virginis]; [apparently those meant by what follows.]

[Apparently, of Virgo, regarded as the seat of Bootes, whose principal star is called السِّمَاكُ الرَّامِحُ; described as] beneath العَوَّآء [which is a name of Bootes and also of the four small stars], and also called عَجُزُ الأَسَدِ [the rump of Leo, the figure of which the Arabs extended far beyond the limits we assign to it].

1.9four stars, two on the fore legs and two on the hind legs of Lepusعَرْشُ الجَوْزَآءِ

[The seat of Orion; applied by our astronomers to Lepus.]

1.10certain stars near الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades]عَمْشُ الثَّرَيَّا
1.11the جَمَازَة, that is, the bier of a corpseعَرْشٌ
the bier rejoiced [literally, shook] at the death of Saad Ibn-Moʿādhاِهْتَزَّ العَرْشُ لِمَوْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ

Some say this is the meaning of the expression in a tradition; that is, it rejoiced at carrying him upon it to his burial place. But there are other explanations: see هز.

1.12

The wood with which a well is cased after its lowest part has been cased with stones to the height of a man. Plural عُرُوشٌ. [Another meaning of the same word in relation to a well has been given already.]

1.13figurative · مجاز — inferred

The nest of a bird, of the kind built in a tree, [apparently as being likened to a booth.]

1.14empty, and fallen to ruin upon its أَرْكَان [or angles, etc.]خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا

The angle, or corner, or strongest side, syn. رُكْن, of a house or [other] thing. Plural عُرُوشٌ.

According to some, this is the meaning of the phrase in the Kur-án [2:261, mentioned above].

1.15figurative · مجاز

The head, or chief, who manages or regulates the affairs of a people, or company of men; likened to the عَرْش of a house.

1.16figurative · مجازhis means of support was taken awayثُلَّ عَرْشُهُ

Or: he perished; or he was slain. IDrd, in the M, under ثل.

Or: his might, or power, departed; or his affairs, or state, became weak and his might, or power, departed. [See also ثل.]

the sameثُلَّ عُرْشُهُ

[Hence also,] the means of support of a thing, or an affair.

عَرْشٌ also signifies:

1.17figurative · مجاز

Er-Rāghib: might, or power.

IAar: regal power; sovereignty; dominion.

Er-Rāghib: from the same word as meaning the throne, or seat, of a king.

1.18

And the raised part of the upper surface of the foot, in which the toes are; also عُرْشٌ. Plural [of paucity] أَعْرَاشٌ, and [of multitude] عِرَشَةٌ.

And the part of the upper surface of the foot between the عَيْر [or prominent bone] and the toes; also عُرْشٌ, according to Ibn-ʿAbbād, with the same plurals as above.

Or عُرْشٌ means the upper surface of the foot, its lower surface being called the أَخْمَص.

(L.) A house [in an absolute sense]; a dwelling, or place of abode: (Kr, TA:) pl. عُرُشٌ (TA) [and عُرُوشٌ ]. A [building of the kind called] قَصْر . (K.) The wood upon which stands the drawer of water: (K:) or a structure of wood built at the head of the well, forming a shade: [pl. عُرُوشٌ :] when the props are pulled away, the عُرُوش fall down. (TA.)

So in a trad., where a lamp is mentioned as suspended to the عرش : (O, TA:) and in another, in which a man relates that he used, when upon his عرش , to hear the Prophet's reciting [of the Kur-án]. (TA.) And so it has been expl. as occurring in the phrase of the Kur [ii. 261 and xxii. 44], خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا Having fallen down upon its roofs: meaning that its walls were standing when their roofs had become demolished and had fallen to the foundations, and the walls fell down upon the roofs demolished before them: (O, TA:) but some consider على as here meaning عَنْ [from]. (TA.) [Hence, app.,] العَرْشُ is applied to The عَرْش of God, which is not definable: (A, K:) I'Ab is related to have said that the كُرْسِىّ is the place of the feet and the عَرْش is immeasurable: and it is said in the Mufradát of Er-Rághib that the عَرْش of God is one of the things which mankind know not in reality, but only by name; and it is not as the imaginations of the vulgar hold it to be; [namely, the throne of God;] for were it so, it would be a support to Him; not supported; whereas God saith [in the Kur., xxxv. 39], “ Verily God holdeth the heavens and the earth, lest they should move from their place; and if they should move from their place, no one would hold them after Him: ” or, as some say, it is the highest sphere; [or the empyrean;] and the كرسىّ is the sphere of the stars: and they adduce as an indication thereof the saying of Mohammad, that the seven heavens and earths, by the side of the كرسىّ , are nought but as a ring thrown down in a desert land; and such is the كرسىّ with respect to the عَرْش : and this assertion is mentioned in the B, but without approval: (TA:) [it appears, however, to be most commonly accepted:] or a red sapphire, which glistens with the light of the Supreme. (A, K.) [Hence the saying,] مِنَ العَرْشِ إِلَى الفَرْشِ meaning, [From the highest sphere, or the empyrean, to] the earth. (A.) Also The سَرِير [or throne] (S, A, O, Msb, K) of a king; (S, A, O, K;) the seat of a sultán; [perhaps as being likened to the عرش of God; or, more probably, from its being generally surmounted by a canopy; or] because of its height. (Er-Rághib.) [Hence,] the phrase اِسْتَوَى عَلَى عَرْشِهِ means He reigned as king. (A, TA.) And [hence, also,] Certain stars in advance of السِّمَاك الأَعْزَل [which is Spica Virginis]; (TA;) [app. those meant by what here follows;] عَرْشُ السِّمَاكِ signifies four small stars [app. and , of Virgo, regarded as the seat of Bootes, the principal star of which is called السِّمَاكُ الرَّامِحُ , being described as] beneath العَوَّآء [which is a name of Bootes and also of the four stars mentioned above], and also called عَجُزُ الأَسَدِ [the rump of Leo, the figure of which was extended by the Arabs far beyond the limits which we assign to it].

And hence, as some say, the expression in a trad., اِهْتَزَّ العَرْشُ لِمَوْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ , meaning The bier rejoiced [lit. shook] at the death of Saad Ibn-Mo'ádh; i. e., at carrying him upon it to his place of burial: (O, K, * TA:) but there are other explanations, for which see art. هز .
