maṣdarمَقَامٌ
Core sense — he stood up, he rose; he undertook the affairgenerated
1.1
He stood still in his place.
Lane cites “Bd in ii. 19” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
1.1.1the beast stopped from journeying, from fatigue—قَامَتِ الدَّابَّةُ
The first is the same as انقطعت.
his beast, being jaded, stopped with him and did not move from its place—قَامَتْ عَلَيْهِ الدَّابَّةُ
1.1.2he, or it, stood up erect—قَامَ
Synonym: اِنْتَصَبَ.
Hence also: he rose, that is, from sitting or reclining.
1.1.3he rose in the night to pray—قَامَ بِاللَّيْلِ
1.1.4he passed the nights of Ramaḍān in prayer—قَامَ
he passed the nights of Ramaḍān in prayer—رَمَضَانَ
(El-'Alḳamee, in a marginal note in a copy of the Jámi' eṣ-Ṣagheer, under the word مَنْ.)
Or: he performed the prayers [of Ramaḍān] called التَّرَاوِيح. (En-Nawawee, same place.)
1.1.5the people rose to prayer—قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ
Or: the time of their doing so came.
1.1.6the resurrection came to pass—قَامَتِ السَّاعَةُ
Or: the time of it came.
1.1.7[The sun became high, and the shade almost disappeared, at midday]—قَامَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَكَادَ الظِّلُّ يَعْقِلُ
1.1.8he rose up against him—قَامَ عَلَيْهِ
See a verse cited under حُوبٌ.
1.1.9he undertook the affair, taking it upon himself—قَامَ بِالأَمْرِ
Synonym: تَكَفَّلَ بِهِ; the adjective is قَائِمٌ and قَيِّمٌ.
It also means: he managed, conducted, regulated, or superintended, the affair; synonym سَاسَهُ; and قام عَلَيْهِ has this same meaning.
It also means: he tended, or took care of, it or him; synonyms سَاسَهُ and وَلِيَهُ.
[And] the former means: he attended to the affair, was mindful of it, and kept to it steadily; this should be the first explanation. It is the opposite of قَعَدَ عَنْهُ and تَقَاعَدَ. (JM.)
[Or], as the opposite of قعد, عنه and تقاعد mean: he acted vigorously in the affair; and so does أَقَامَهُ, synonymous with جَدَّ فِيهِ and تَجَلَّدَ.
Lane cites “Bd in ii. 2” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
1.1.10he undertook, superintended, or managed, his affair or affairs—قَامَ بِشَأْنِهِ

he maintained the woman, and managed her affairs—عَلَيْهَا
Explained by مَانَهَا [that is, قَامَ بِكِفَايَتِهَا, as in the S and K under مون].
the men govern the women—الرِّجَالُ يَقُومُونَ عَلَى النِّسَآءِ
Or: the men are mindful of the women, act well to them, and take care of them.
1.1.11[He undertook, and it served, to excuse me]—قامَ بِعُذْرِى
(Msb and TA under عذر and elsewhere.)
1.1.12he, or it, was supported by it; it subsisted by it—قَامَ بِهِ
See the explanation of قَِوَامٌ in the Msb.
1.1.13it cost him such a thing, or such a sum—قَامَ عَلَيْهِ كَذَا
1.1.14it became established in his mind that it was so—أَنَّهُ كَذَا
قَامَ often means ثَبَتَ; so in قَامَ فِى نَفْسِهِ.
1.1.15he managed it perfectly—قَامَ بِهِ قِيَامًا تَامًّا
