maṣdarاِنْقِيَاضٌ تَقَيُّضٌ

Core sense — it broke, or was demolished; it dropped down swiftly, it swooped downgenerated

7.1

It (a thing) broke, or became broken.

Said of a wall, it means the same; or it was thrown down, pulled to pieces, demolished, or destroyed violently; or it fell down; or it cracked without falling down. Also اِنْقَاضَّ [from نَقَضَ].

The maṣdar of the former is اِنْقِضَاضٌ [and of اِنْقَاضَ the maṣdar is اِنْقِيَاضٌ]; but if it falls, one says تَقَيَّضَ; so says AZ.

A 'Obeyd and others reckon it a biliteral-radical word belonging to this article; or AZ reckons it so; but Aboo-'Alee makes it a triliteral-radical, [like its synonym اِنْقَاضَّ,] from نَقَضَ, holding its measure to be اِفْعَلَّ.

7.1.1

It became cut in pieces.

7.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredhis connections became sundered, or separated—انقضّت أَوْصَالُهُ

See also انفضّ.

7.1.3figurative · مجازthe bird dropped down swiftly from the air in its flight, to alight upon something—انقضّ الطَّائِرُ

Derived from انقضّ as explained above.

Also تَقَضَّضَ and تَقَضَّى, the latter formed by permutation; or only the latter of these two is used; or the latter is the more chaste, since three ḍāds are hard to pronounce, so one of them is changed into yāʾ, as in تَظَنَّى [for تَظَنَّنَ], from الظَّنٌّ, and تَمَطَّى for تَمَطَّطَ.

the hawk flew down swiftly upon the prey, or quarry—انقضّ البَازِى عَلَى الصَّيْدِ
7.1.4figurative · مجاز[it darted down: or] it dropped down—انقضّ

Said of a star, or an asterism.

7.1.5figurative · مجازthe horses, or horsemen, rushed, or went swiftly, upon them—انقضّت عَلَيْهِمْ الخَيْلُ

Or: they dispersed themselves, or became dispersed, against them.

Qur’ānic occurrences Form 7
18:77
فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَيَآ أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ ٱسْتَطْعَمَآ أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْا۟ أَن يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارًا يُرِيدُ أَن يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا

Then they proceeded: until, when they came to the inhabitants of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused them hospitality. They found there a wall on the point of falling down, but he set it up straight. (Moses) said: "If thou hadst wished, surely thou couldst have exacted some recompense for it!"

It (a thing) broke, or became broken. (Msb.) Said of a wall, it signifies the same: (T, Msb, TA:) or it became thrown down, pulled down, pulled to pieces, demolished, or destroyed, with violence: (A:) or it fell down: (S:) or it cracked, without falling down; (M, K;) as also اِنْقَاضَّ [from نَقَضَ ]; inf. n.

(TA.) You say, انقضّ البَازِى عَلَى الصَّيْدِ The hawk [made a stoop, or] flew down swiftly upon the prey, or quarry. (TA.)

1Beware of the pebbles and dust in your food—إِتَّقِ القَضَضَ فِى طَعَامِكَ
