عَقڤلَI
[The Verbal.Noun] عَقْلٌ signifies The act of withholding, or restraining; syn. مَنْعٌ. [This is app. the primary signification, or it may be from what next follows.]
2 عَقَلَ البَعِيرَ, Present.T ـِ Verbal.Noun عَقْلٌ, He bound the camel with the [rope called] عِقَال; meaning he bound the camel's fore shank to his arm; i. e. he folded together the camel's fore shank and his arm and bound them both in the middle of the arm with the rope called عِقَال; and signifies the same; as also عقّلهُ ; or you say, عَقَّلْتُ الإِبِلَ, from العِقَالُ, Verbal.Noun تَعْقِيلٌ, [i. e. I bound the camels in the manner expl. above,] this verb being with tesh-deed because of its application to a number of objects: and sometimes the hocks were bound with the عِقَال. The she-camel, also, was bound with the عِقَال on the occasion of her being covered:
3 and hence العَقْلُ is metonymically used as meaning الجِمَاعُ [i. e.
4 عَقَلْتُ القَتِيلَ, or المَقْتُولَ, Present.T as above, and so the Verbal.Noun, means I gave, or paid, the bloodwit to the heir, or next of kin, of the slain person: for the camels [that constituted the bloodwit] used to be bound with the عِقَال in the yard of the abode of the heir, or next of kin, of the slain person; and in consequence of frequency of usage, the phrase became employed to mean thus when the bloodwit was given in dirhems or deenárs. (As, S, O, Msb. * [See a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. عيف.]) And [hence] one says also, عَقَلْتُ عَنْهُ, meaning I paid for him, i. e., in his stead, the bloodwit that was obligatory upon him, or what was obligatory upon him of the bloodwit. And عَقَلْتُ لَهُ دَمَ فُلَانٍ I relinquished in his favour retaliation of the blood of such a one for the bloodwit. لَا تَعْقِلُ العَاقِلَةُ عَمْدًا وَلَا عَبْدًا, in a trad. of Esh-Shaabee, or a saying of Esh-Shaabee, not a trad., but the like occurs in a trad. related on the authority of I'Ab, [meaning, accord. to an expl. of the verb when trans. without a particle, mentioned above, Those who are responsible for the payment of a bloodwit in certain cases shall not pay it for an intentional act of slaying or the like, nor for the slaying or the like of a slave,] applies, accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh, to the case of a slave's committing a crime against a free person: but, accord. to Ibn-Abee-Leylà, it applies to the case of a free person's committing a crime against a slave; for if the meaning were as Aboo-Haneefeh says, the phrase would be لَا تَعْقِلُ العَاقِلَةُ عَنْ عَبْدٍ; and As pronounced this to be correct: Akmal-ed-Deen, however, in the Exposition of the Hidáyeh, says that عَقَلْتُهُ is used in the sense of عَقَلْتُ عَنْهُ, and that the context of the trad. indicates this meaning, which MF also defends. [See also the saying لَا أَعْقِلُ الكَلْبَ الهَرَّارَ in art. هر.]
5 عَقَلَهُ, Verbal.Noun as above, also means He set him up [app. a man] on one of his legs; [app. from عَقَلَ البَعِيرَ;] as also عَكَلَهُ: and every عَقْل is a raising.

And يَعْقِلُ الطَّبْعَ is said of a medicine [as meaning, in like manner, It binds the bowels; is astringent]. (TA in art. حمض; &c.) And عقل البَطْنُ [app. عُقِلَ] The belly [or bowels] became bound, or confined; syn. اِسْتَمْسَكَ.

'Omar, when he had deferred [collecting] the poor-rate in the year [of drought called] عَامُ الرَّمَادَةِ, sent Ibn-AbeeDhubáb, and said, اِعْقِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ عِقَالَيْنِ فَٱقْسِمْ فِيهِمْ عِقَالًا وَٱءْتِنِى بِٱلآخَرِ [Collect thou from them two years' poor-rate; then divide among them one year's poor-rate, and bring to me the other].
