maṣdarفَيْضٌmuḍāriʿيَفِيضُ يَغِيضُ

Core sense — it overflowed, it poured forth; it became abundant; he diedgenerated

1.1it (water) overflowed; it poured out from fulness—افاض

maṣdar فَيْضٌ, فَيْضُوضَةٌ, فُيُوضٌ, فِيُوضٌ, فُيُوضَةٌ, and فَيَضَانٌ. Said of water: it overflowed, or poured out from fulness. Said of water or of a torrent: it became abundant and flowed over the brink of the valley, or so as to flow over its side, or so as to flow like a valley.

It (water) became abundant; the opposite of غَاضَ. Said of water, of the water of the eyes, and the like, or of anything fluid: it ran, or flowed; or it poured out, or poured out violently; it gushed out. Said of water and of blood: it fell in drops.

1.1.1the river overflowed with its water—فَاضَ النَّهْرُ بِمَائِهِ

the vessel overflowed with what was in it—فَاضَ الإِنَآءُ بِمَا فِيهِ

the eye flowed with tears—فَاضَتْ عَيْنُهُ

Said of a vessel: it became full; or it overflowed.

A poet says:

shāhid

شَكَوْتُ وَمَا الشَّكْوَى لِمِثْلِىَ عَادَةًوَلٰكِنْ تَفِيضُ الكَأْسُ عِنْدَ ٱمْتِلَائِهَا

[I complained; and complaint is not a custom of the like of me; but the cup overflows when it is full].

Muḍāriʿ as above.

he sweated—فَاصَ عَرَقًا

Said of a man: sweat appeared on his body on an occasion of grief.

1.1.2figurative · مجازthe mean, or base, became many—فَاضَ اللِّئَامُ

It (a thing) was, or became, much, abundant, or numerous.

The opposite of غَاضَ; see the article غيض.

good, or wealth, and the like, became abundant—فَاضَ الخَيْرُ

With فِيهِمْ: among them.

1.1.3figurative · مجازit (a piece of news, or a story) spread abroad among the people—استفاض

Muḍāriʿ as above. Said of a piece of news, or a story: it spread abroad.

It spread like water. The same verb is also said of a place, meaning it became wide, or ample.

the coat of mail spread over him, or covered him—فَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الدِّرْعُ

1.1.4figurative · مجازhis soul departed, or went forth—فَاضَتٌ نَفْسُهُ

Muḍāriʿ as above; maṣdar فَيْضٌ and فُيُوضٌ. Said of a man: he died.

Muḍāriʿ as above; of the dialect of Temeem, on the authority of AO and Fr, and AZ says the like.

But As says that one should not say فاض الرَّجُلُ nor فاضت نفسه, for فاض is only said of tears and of water. To this is added: but one says فَاظَ, with ظ, meaning “he died”, and not فاض, with ض, decidedly.

Or the more chaste expression is فاظ, with ظ, without mentioning the نفس; and some allow no other.

IAar says: فاض الرجل and فاظ, meaning “the man died”. Abu-l-Hasan says فاظت نفسه, the verb relating to the نفس and فاض الرجل and فاظ.

As says: I heard AA say that one should not say فاظت نفسه, but فاظ, meaning “he died”; and not فاض, with ض, decidedly.

IB, however, says that what IDrd cites from As differs from what J ascribed to him. IDrd gives the words of As thus: the Arabs say فاظ الرجل, meaning “the man died”, but when they speak of the نفس they say فاضت نفسه, with ض; and he quotes the example:

shāhid

فَفُقِئَتْ عَيْنٌ وَفَاضَتْ نَفْسُ

[And an eye was put out, and a soul departed]. IB adds that this is what is commonly known to be the opinion of As, and that J has made a mistake, for As quotes from AA that one should not say فاظت نفسه, but فاظ, meaning “he died”, not فاض, decidedly; and he also says that it does not necessarily follow from what he relates that he firmly believed it.

AO says that فاظت نفسه is of the dialect of Keys, and فاضت of the dialect of Temeem. AHát says: I heard AZ say that Benoo-Dabbeh alone say فاضت نفسه. El-Mázinee says likewise, on the authority of AZ, that all the Arabs say فاظت نفسه except Benoo-Dabbeh, who say فاضت نفسه, with ض. [See also the article فيظ.]

It is further said that الفَيْضُ means death, as in a tradition about Ed-Dejjál, where it is said ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَى أَثَرِ ذٰلِكَ الفَيْضُ [Then shall be, after that, death]. Sh says: I asked El-Bekráwee about this, and he asserted that الفيض here means “death”; but I have not heard it from anyone else, unless it comes from فَاضَتْ نَفْسَهُ, his saliva collecting on his lips at the departure of his soul and [flowed].

1.1.5figurative · مجازhis bosom overflowed with wrath, or rage—فَاضَ صدْرُهُ مِنَ الغَيْظِ

his bosom disclosed, or concealed, the secret—فَاضَ صَدْرُهُ بِالسِّرِّ

His bosom could not keep the secret; it was full with the secret and disclosed it, being unable to conceal it.

1.1.6figurative · مجاز — inferredGod's suggesting of a thing—فَيْضٌ

The suggesting is إِلْقَآء; what the Devil suggests is called الوَسْوَسَةُ.

1.1.7

فَاضَ البَعِيرُ بِجِرَّتِهِ: see form 4, latter part.

Nor (is there blame) on those who came to thee to be provided with mounts, and when thou saidst, "I can find no mounts for you," they turned back, their eyes streaming with tears of grief that they had no resources wherewith to provide the expenses.

Form 4افاض14 senses · 3 main

Core sense — he poured it out, he made it flow abundantly; they pushed on in a multitudegenerated

4.1

See form 1, first sentence.

4.2

He filled a vessel so that it overflowed; or, according to Lh, simply he filled a vessel. ISd says that the former is, in his opinion, the correct meaning.

4.2.1he poured the water on himself, or on his body—افاض المَآءَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ

He made water, tears, and the like to run, or flow, or to pour out, or to pour out violently, or to gush out; he poured water out copiously.

Also على جَسَدِهِ.

he poured forth his tears—افاض دُمُوعَهُ

Also دَمْعَهُ.

the eye poured forth tears—افاضت العَيْنُ الدَّمْعَ

4.2.2figurative · مجازGod made good, or wealth, and the like, to abound—افاض ٱللّٰهُ الخَيْرَ

4.2.3figurative · مجازhe put the coat of mail on him—افاض عَلَيْهِ الدِّرْعَ

Like saying صَبَّهَا, literally “he poured it”.

4.2.4figurative · مجازthey pushed on, or went quickly, in a multitude from ʿArafát to Minè—أَفَاضُوا مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ

Synonym دَفَعُوا, or اِنْدَفَعُوا, exclaiming لَبَّيْكَ. Or they returned and dispersed themselves from ʿArafát; or they hastened from ʿArafát to another place, this last from Ibn-ʿArafeh.

In agreement with all of these renderings, the phrase in the Qur'ān 2:194, فَإِذَا أَفَضْتُمْ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ, has been explained.

they returned from Minè to Mekkeh on the day of the sacrifice—افاضوا مِنَ مِنَى إِلَى مَكِّةَ

إِفَاضَةٌ is the advancing, and pushing on, in journeying or pace and the like, with a multitude, and is only after a state of separation and gathering. It is from the same word as means “pouring out”, or from افاض المَآءَ, “he poured the water out copiously”; the original expression being افاض نَفْسَهُ or رَاحِلَتَهُ, but the object is left out, so the verb resembles an intransitive one.

Or افاضة is the quickly impelling, or urging, of a beast to run with the foot or leg. And افاض: he (a rider) made his camel exert itself beyond measure, to go at a quick run, between the utmost rate and what is less than that; افاضة denotes the half of the full rate of the run of camels carrying riders, and is used only when they have riders on them. (Khálid Ibn-Jembeh.) Every دَفْعَة [or act of pushing on, or pressing on,] is termed إِفَاضَةٌ.

the circuiting around the Kaʿbeh on the return from Minè to Mekkeh on the day of the sacrifice—طَوَافُ الإِفَاضَةِ

4.2.5figurative · مجاز — inferredthey pushed on, or pressed on, in discourse—افاضوا فِى الحَدِيثِ

Synonym اِنْدَفَعُوا: they entered into it; they launched into it; they were large, or copious, or profuse, in it; they dilated in it; or they began, or entered upon, discourse. Also استفاضوهُ according to some, but most, or the skilful, disallow this.

he entered upon an action, or employment, and pushed on in it—افاض فِى عَمَلٍ

Or he began it, or entered upon it.

Lane cites “Bd in x. 62” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given

4.2.6he impelled, or thrust, with the thing; he cast, or threw, the thing—افاض بَالشَّيْءِ

4.2.7figurative · مجازthe camel propelled his cud from his inside and ejected it—افاض البَعِيرُ بِجِرَّتِهِ

Or he cast it forth in a scattered and copious state; or it means [he made to be heard] the sound of his cud and of his chewing.

Also افاض alone, and فَاضَ بِجِرَّتِهِ.

4.2.8figurative · مجاز — inferredhe did not make a word, or a sentence, clear, or distinct—مَا افاض بِكَلِمَةٍ

[And ما افاض بكلمة means the same.]

4.2.9figurative · مجازhe shuffled the gaming-arrows, or he played with them—افاض بِالقِدَاحِ

Also عَلَى القِدَاحِ, meaning بِالقِدَاحِ, for prepositions stand in the places of other prepositions.

And افاض القِدَاحَ is the same as ضَرَبَ بِالقِدَاحِ [which has two meanings: he turned about, or shuffled, the gaming-arrows; and he played with the gaming-arrows]; and as أَجَالَهَا [which has the first of these two meanings]; or he dealt them forth.

Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, describing a [wild] he-ass and his she-asses:

shāhid

فَكَأَنَّهُنَّ رِبَابَةٌ وَكَأَنَّهُيَسَرٌ يُفِيضُ عَلَى القِدَاحِ وَيَصْدَعُ

[And it was as though they were a bundle of gaming-arrows, and as though he were a shuffler of them, shuffling or] dealing out the arrows, and deciding, and making known what he produced.

Or, according to Kh, and speaking with his loudest voice, saying “The arrow of such a one has won”, or “This is the arrow of such a one”; or, according to some, distributing, or dispensing, by means of the arrows. By عَلَى القِدَاحِ is meant بِالقِدَاحِ; see عَلَى.

One relation of this verse has يَخُوضُ in place of يُفِيضُ.

Az says that إِفَاض [a mistranscription for إِفَاضَةٌ] is always a consequence of a state of separation, or dispersion, and of abundance, or copiousness.

4.2.10figurative · مجاز — inferredthen put it, or throw it, and mix it with your property—ثُمَّ أَفِضْهَا مِنْ مَالِكَ

From a tradition about a thing picked up from the ground; apparently a mistake for فِى مَالِكَ.

4.2.11she (a woman) became wide in the belly—أُفِيضَتْ

As though spread out; or she became large in the belly, and flabby in flesh.

4.3he made the woman's vagina and rectum become one, on the occasion of devirgination—افاض المَرْأَةَ

مَسْلَكَانِ means the vagina and rectum. The same as أَفْضَاهَا, from which this verb appears to be formed by transposition.

The Companions of the Fire will call to the Companions of the Garden: "Pour down to us water or anything that Allah doth provide for your sustenance." They will say: "Both these things hath Allah forbidden to those who rejected Him."

24:14

وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِى مَآ أَفَضْتُمْ فِيهِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

Were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, in this world and the Hereafter, a grievous penalty would have seized you in that ye rushed glibly into this affair.

46:8

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ إِنِ ٱفْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَلَا تَمْلِكُونَ لِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا ۖ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ ۖ كَفَىٰ بِهِۦ شَهِيدًۢا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Or do they say, "He has forged it"? Say: "Had I forged it, then can ye obtain no single (blessing) for me from Allah. He knows best of that whereof ye talk (so glibly)! Enough is He for a witness between me and you! And he is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
