Full Definition
صَنَعَI
, Present.T
ـَ Verbal.Noun صُنْعٌ and صَنْعٌ, He made, wrought, manufactured, fabricated, or constructed, the thing; syn. عَمِلَهُ: [or he made it, &c., skilfully, or well; for] الصُّنْعُ signifies إِجَادَةُ الفِعْلِ; and every صُنْع is a فِعْل, but every فِعْل is not a صُنْع; and it is not predicated of [irrational] animals [unless tropically, (see أَصْنَعُ,)] nor of inanimate things, like as الفِعْلُ is.
2 [Hence,] صَنَعَ signifies also
3 And صَنَعَ, Verbal.Noun صَنْعٌ [and صُنْعٌ] and صَنِيعٌ, [with the objective complement understood,] He worked, or wrought; he practised, or exercised, an art, a craft, or a manufacture.
4 And صَنَعَ إِلَيْهِ مَعْرُوفًا, Present.T as above, Verbal.Noun صُنْعٌ, with damm, He did to him a benefit, favour, or kind act: and صَنَعَ بِهِ صَنِيعًا قَبِيحًا he did to him an evil, or a foul, deed: syn. فَعَلَهُ: and one says also [in the former of these two senses], عِنْدَهُ صَنِيعَةً; syn. اِتَّخَذَهَا; or أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِ. The saying مَا صَنَعْتَ وَأَبَاكَ means مَعَ أَبِيكَ [i. e. What didst thou together with thy father?]. The saying of the Prophet, إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحْىِ فَٱصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ [If thou be not ashamed, do what thou wilt,] is said to be an instance of an imperative phrase of which the meaning is predicative; i. e. it is as though he said, he who is not ashamed does what he will: and other explanations of it are mentioned in the O and L: [but] this is held by A 'Obeyd to be the right meaning. In the phrase صُنْعَ ٱللّٰهِ, in the Kur [xxvii. 90, which may be rendered By the doing of God], صنع is in the accus. case as an Verbal.Noun: but one may read it in the nom. case, meaning ذٰلِكَ to be understood before it. One says also, مَا أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ ٱللّٰهِ عِنْدَكَ and صَنِيعَ ٱللّٰهِ [How good is the doing of God with thee, or at thine abode!].
