افتلتهُVIII
He took it quickly, or hastily; namely, a thing: or he seized it, or carried it off, by force; or took it hastily and openly; or snatched it at unawares. And it is doubly trans.: you say, اِفْتَلَتَهَا ٱللّٰهُ نَفْسَهَا [God took away from her suddenly her soul]: and hence, اُفْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسَهَا [lit. She had her soul taken away from her suddenly]; a phrase occurring in a trad., meaning she died suddenly, without disease: you say, اُفْتُلِتَ نَفْسَهُ, meaning He died suddenly; and اُفْتُلِتَ نَفْسُهُ; with the نفس in the accus. case and in the nom. case; and اُفْتُلِتَ alone; meaning he died suddenly. [See also اُفْتُئِتَ, in art. فأت; and اُفْتِيتَ in the same.] And اِفْتَلَتَهُ المَوْتُ; and
; as also لَفَتَهُ; Death took him away suddenly.
2 And اُفْتُلِتَ بِأمْرِ كَذَا He was taken suddenly by such a thing, before his preparing for it.
3 And اُفْتُِلتَ عَلَيْهِ The affair was decided against him exclusively of him [i. e. without his having any part in the decision]. [See also 8 in art. فوت.]
4 اُفْتُلِتَ also signifies It was done without pausing.
5 And one says, اِفْتَلَتَ الكَلَامَ, meaning He extemporized the speech; spoke it without consideration, or thought, or preparation, or without pausing, or hesitating.
