شَدَّI
, as an intrans. verb, Present.T
شَدِدَ
Verbal.Noun شِدَّةٌ: see 8; and see also شِدَّةٌ.
2 [Hence,] لَشَدَّ مَا is an expression used in the same sense as لَعَزَّ مَا (A and K in art. عز) and لَحَقَّ مَا: [and in like manner without the ل: thus] one says, شَدَّ مَا أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ, meaning حَقَّ أَنَّكَ ذَاهِبٌ [i. e. It is distressing, or it distresses me, that thou art going away]: and if you please, you may consider شَدَّ as similar to نِعْمَ; as when you say, نِعْمَ العَمَلُ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ الحَقَّ [Excellent, or most excellent, is the deed, thy saying the truth]. [And it is also used to render intensive a verb following it; as in the saying, لَشَدَّ مَا أَبْغَضَنِى Much indeed, or greatly indeed, did he hate me.]
3 شَدَّ عَلَيْهِ, Present.Tشَدَدَ
and
شَدِدَ
Verbal.Noun شَدٌّ and شُدُودٌ, He charged, or made an assault or attack, upon him, in war, or battle. You say, شَدَّ عَلَى العَدُوِّ شَدَّةً
وَاحِدَةً, and شَدَّاتٍ كَثِيرَةً, He made one charge, or assault, or attack, upon the enemy, and many charges, &c. And شَدَّ عَلَى قِرْنِهِ بِسِكِّينٍ, or بِعَصًا, He made an assault, or attack, upon his adversary, with a knife, or with a staff; as also اشتدّ عَلَيْهِ. And شَدَّ الذِّئْبُ عَلَى الغَنَمِ
The wolf asaulted, or attacked, the sheep or goats. In the phrase, شَدُّوا الإِغَارَةَ, the meaning is شَدُّوا لِلْإِغَارَةِ [They made a charge for the purpose of a sudden attack upon an enemy, or a predatory incursion]; and therefore الاغارة is put in the accus. case, not as an objective complement.
4 شَدَّ, Present.Tشَدُدَ
and
شَدِدَ
Verbal.Noun شَدٌّ, also signifies He ran; and so
اشتدّ . رُبَّ شَدٍّ فِى
الكُرْزِ [Many a run is in the sack] is a prov., originating from the fact that a man riding a pregnant mare was pursued by an enemy, and she cast her foal, which ran with its mother, whereupon the horseman alighted, and carried it off in a sack; and the enemy overtook him, and said to him, “Throw to me the foal;” and he replied in these words, meaning that the foal was of generous race: it is applied to him whose internal, or intrinsic, qualities are commended. And one says, شَدَّ فِى العَدْوِ, Verbal.Noun شَدٌّ; and
اشتدّ ; He hastened, or was quick, in running: and شَدَّ الإِحْضَارَ [meaning the same]. (S in art. افر.)
5 شَدَّ النَّهَارُ, and الضُّحَى, Verbal.Noun شَدٌّ; (L, K; but in the latter, النَّار is erroneously put for النَّهَار; TA;) and اشتدّ ; The day, and the morning, became advanced, the sun being high. [See also شَدٌّ below.]
def.2 شَدَّهُ, Present.Tشَدُدَ
and
شَدِدَ
the latter anomalous, for the Present.T of a trans. verb of this class, of the measure فَعَلَ, should be
شَدُدَ
only, and that of an intrans. verb of the same class and measure should be
شَدِدَ
and this is the only instance, or almost the only one, of its kind, with both of these forms of Present.T, except عَلَّ [and بَتَّ] and نَمَّ
الحَدِيثَ, but there is one trans. verb of the same class having the latter form of Present.T only, namely, حَبَّ, Verbal.Noun شَدٌّ, He made it, or rendered it, hard; used in relation to substances and attributes: he made, or rendered, it, or him, firm, compact, or sound; and strong, powerful, or forcible; vigorous, robust, or sturdy; syn. أَحْكَمَهُ, and قَوَّاهُ; as also
, [Verbal.Noun تَشْدِيدٌ,] i. e. as syn. with احكمهُ and قوّاهُ: he bound, or tied, him, or it, firmly, fast, or strongly; syn. أَوْثَقَهُ: [which may also be meant to convey the signification immediately preceding this last:] and [simply] he tied, bound, or made fast, him, or it; syn. رَبَطَهُ. (S and Msb and K &c. in art. ربط.) One says, شَدَّ عَضُدَهُ i. e. He
