[My people, they have slain, O Umeymeh, (أُمَيْمَ being apocopated, for أُمَيْمَةُ,) my brother; so, if I shoot, my arrow will strike me; and verily, if I forgive, I shall indeed forgive a great thing; but verily, if I assault, I shall indeed weaken my bone: see Ham p. 97]. And Beshámeh Ibn-Hazn says,قَوْمِى هُمُ قَتَلُوا أُمَيْمَ أَخِى فَإِذَا رَمَيْتُ يُصِيبُنِى سَهْمِى فَلَئِنْ عَفَوْتُ لَأَعْفُوَنْ جَلَلًا وَلَئِنْ سَطوْتُ لَأُوْهِنَنْ عَظْمِى
[And if thou invite to a great affair, and a generous act, any day, manly and noble persons, the generous of mankind, invite us]: or جُلَّى is here an Verbal.Noun in the place of جَلَالٌ and جَلَالَةٌ, like رُجْعَى, &c.وَإِنْ دَعَوْتَ إِلَى جُلَّى وَمَكْرُمَةً يَوْمًا سَرَاةً كِرَامَ النَّاسِ فَٱدْعِينَا
2 Also, i. e., جَلَلٌ, A small, an easy, or a mean, paltry, or contemptible, thing, affair, matter, case, or event: thus bearing two contr. significations. Imra-el-Keys says, on the occasion of his father's having been slain,
meaning [By Benoo-Asad's slaying their lord: now surely everything beside it is] a mean, paltry, or small, matter.أَلَا كُلُّ شَىْءٍ سِوَاهُ جَلَلْ بِ قَتْلِ بَنِى أَسَدٍ رَبَّهُمٌ
3 فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ جَلَلِكَ I did that on account of thee, for thy sake, or because of thee; syn. مِنْ أَجْلِكَ; as also من , and من , and من , and من , and من أَجْلِ. Jemeel says,
meaning [The remains marking the site of a house, I paused at the relic thereof that was still standing: I almost died, in the early morning,] on account of it (مِنْ أَجْلِهِ), or, as some say, because of its greatness in my eye.رَسْمُ دَارٍ وَقَفْتُ فِى طَلَلِهْ كِدْتُ أَقْضِى الغِداةَ مِنْ جَلَلِةْ
