Full Definition

عجّلهُII , Verbal.Noun تَعْجِيلٌ: see 4, in two places.
2 [It generally relates to some inanimate object.] It is said in the Kur [xxxviii. 15], رَبَّنَا عَجِّلْ لَنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الحِسَابِ [O our Lord hasten to us our portion before the day of reckoning]: accord. to some, our portion of punishment: but accord. to Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr, it means, of Paradise. (TA in art. قط.) And you say, عَجَّلْتُ إِلَيْهِ المَالَ I brought, or conveyed, hastily, or speedily, to him the property; or hastened its coming to him. And عَجَّلْتُ لَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَنِ كَذَا I paid him in advance, of the price, such a sum. And عَجَّلَهُ مِنَ الكِرَآءِ كَذَا He gave him in ready money, [or promptly, or quickly, or in advance,] of the hire, such a sum. And عَجَّلَ لَهُ الثَّمَنَ He gave to him [in ready money, or promptly, or quickly, or in advance, the price]. And عجّل نَقْدَهُ [He paid it in ready money, promptly, or quickly]. (ISk, S and K in art. زكأ.) And بِعْتُهُ تَعْجِيلًا بِتَعْجِيلٍ [I sold it, or I sold to him, present, or ready, merchandise, for present, or ready, money]. (S voce نَاجِزٌ, q. v.) And عَجَّلْتُ اللَّحْمَ, Verbal.Noun as above, I cooked the flesh-meat in haste. And لَوْ عَجَّلْتَ بِأَيِّمِكَ , a prov., [which, app., is properly rendered Would that thou didst hasten, with thy husbandless woman, the early portion of food called عَجُول, or the right reading may be العِجَّوْلَ,] meaning عَجِّلْ بِهَا الزَّوَاجَ [ hasten thou, with her, i. e. with thy husbandless woman, marriage]. One says also عَجَّلْتُمْ like as one says لَهَّنْتُمْ [i. e. Ye supplied, or fed, with the early portion of food called لُهْنَة; which is also called عَجُول, or عِجَّوْل, &c.]. (S, TA. [For لَهَّنْتُمْ, Golius appears to have read لَهَّيْتُمْ, which is evidently wrong.])
3 عجّل أَقِطَهُ, Verbal.Noun as above; and تعجّلهُ ; He made his [preparation of dried curd called] اقط into what are termed عَجَاجِيل, pl. of عُجَّالٌ: or you say, عَجَّلْتُ أَقِطِى عَجَاجِيلَ [I made my اقط into عجاجيل].

def.2 See also 1, first sentence.
