Form 2فرّطهُ6 senses · 2 main
maṣdarتَفْرِيطٌ فَرْطٌ

Core sense — he made him precede; he left, or neglected, it; he was remiss in itgenerated

2.1

He, or it, made him precede, or be first or foremost; made him get priority or precedence..

افرطهُ has the same meaning.

2.1.1he sent to him a messenger from among his particular friends—فرّط إِلَيْهِ رَسُولًا

He emboldened him in contention, or dispute; افرطهُ also has this meaning.

he sent a messenger specially and expressly about his needful affairs—افرط رَسُولًا
he sent his messenger forward to him, and hastened him—فَرَطَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولَهُ

Maṣdar as above. Or: he sent him forward, in advance, to him; or he made him his deputy in a litigation.

In the CK, instead of وَأَعْجَلَهُ we find واَرْسَلَهُ; but SM says he does not find this last form mentioned by any of the leading authorities.

2.1.2he sent it on before, staying behind it—فرّطهُ
he left him and stayed behind him—افرطهُ
he left him and went before him—افرطهُ
he left him behind and forgot him; and he forgot a thing or an affair—افرطهُ
a leaving, an abandoning—فِرَاطٌ

Or: he quitted it and sent it on before; he left it and quitted it; he left him.

[Maṣdar of فارط.]

he left, forsook, or relinquished him or it; or he abstained from it—فرّط عَنْهُ
he neglected it; he failed of doing what he ought, or was remiss in it—فرّط فِيهِ

He also preferred backwardness in it; فرّطهُ is used in the same way, though according to the TA only the former phrase means he failed of doing what he ought.

he neglected it, or was remiss in it, so that it escaped him—فَرَطَ فيه

Muḍāriʿ فَرُطَ.

he flagged, or was remiss; he was lazy, or indolent—فرّط
I left you in such and such a state—فَرَّطْتُكَ فِى كَذَا وَ كَذَا
I did not leave any one of the people—أَفْرَطْتُ مِنَ القَوْمِ أَحَدًا
he neglected the things of God and did not do them—فرّط فِى جَنْبِ ٱللّٰهِ

Its second person singular is used in cautioning a man against something in front of him, or in telling him to go forward; and it is intransitive.

Sakhr-el-Gheí says: [That is my weapon, and I will not send it on before, staying behind it: I fear lest they perform what they have threatened.]

shāhid 1
ذٰلِكَ بَزِّى فَلَنْ أُفَرِّطَهُأَخَافُ أَنْ يُنْجِزُوا الَّذِى وَعَدُوا

Or: I will not quit it, nor send it on before; or I will not stay behind it; or I will not neglect it.

Sáʿideh Ibn-Juʿeiyeh says: [With him is a skin, the carrying of which he will not leave, nor quit.]

shāhid 2
مَعَهُ سِقَآءٌ لَا يُفَرِّطُ حَمْلَهُ

Or: the command of God. [See also the article on جنب.]

there is no falling short of duty in sleeping—لَيْسَ فِى النَّوْمِ تَفْرِيطٌ إِنَّمَا التَّفْرِيطُ أَنْ لَا يَصْحَى حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ وَقْتُ الأُخْرَى

From a tradition: the falling short of duty is only the not awaking until the time of the next prayer begins.

2.1.3I long let them alone, or granted them a delay—أَطَلْتُ فِرَاطَهُمْ

He let him alone, or left him, for a while; he granted him a delay, or respite; and so فارطهُ.

2.1.4God put away, or averted, from him what he dislikes—فرّط ٱللّٰه عَنْهُ مَا يَكْرَهُ

This expression is seldom used except in poetry.

2.2he praised him beyond measure—فرّطهُ

Sgh expressed in the TS his fear that the former may be a miscopying of the latter, but seems afterwards to have conceded that the former is correct, since he mentions it in the O.

like قرّظهُ.

6:31
قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً قَالُوا۟ يَـٰحَسْرَتَنَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيهَا وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِمْ ۚ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ

Lost indeed are they who treat it as a falsehood that they must meet Allah,- until on a sudden the hour is on them, and they say: "Ah! woe unto us that we took no thought of it"; for they bear their burdens on their backs, and evil indeed are the burdens that they bear?

6:38
وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَـٰٓئِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّآ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم ۚ مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مِن شَىْءٍ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ

There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.

6:61
وَهُوَ ٱلْقَاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَيُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَفَظَةً حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُنَا وَهُمْ لَا يُفَرِّطُونَ

He is the irresistible, (watching) from above over His worshippers, and He sets guardians over you. At length, when death approaches one of you, Our angels take his soul, and they never fail in their duty.

12:80
فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْـَٔسُوا۟ مِنْهُ خَلَصُوا۟ نَجِيًّا ۖ قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمْ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُم مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِى يُوسُفَ ۖ فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ ٱلْأَرْضَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْذَنَ لِىٓ أَبِىٓ أَوْ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ لِى ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَـٰكِمِينَ

Now when they saw no hope of his (yielding), they held a conference in private. The leader among them said: "Know ye not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah's name, and how, before this, ye did fail in your duty with Joseph? Therefore will I not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allah commands me; and He is the best to command.

39:56
أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَـٰحَسْرَتَىٰ عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِى جَنۢبِ ٱللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ ٱلسَّـٰخِرِينَ

"Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked!'-
