أَرَيْتُهُIV
, originally أَرَأَيْتُهُ, Verbal.Noun إِرَآءَةٌ and إِرَايَةٌ and إِرَآءٌ, [the last originally إِرْأَاءٌ,] the ة in the first Verbal.Noun being a substitute [for the suppressed أ, and in like manner in the second], and the last Verbal.Noun being without any substitution, [I made him to see the thing; i. e. I showed him the thing:]
2 One says also, أَرَى ٱللّٰهُ بِفُلَانٍ, meaning God showed men by [the example of] such a one punishment and destruction: or God showed by [the example of] such a one that which would cause his enemy to rejoice at his misfortune: a saying of the Arabs: (T in art. رى:) said only in relation to evil.
3 And أَرِنِى الشَّىْءَ Give thou, or hand thou, to me the thing.
4 أَرَى in the sense of أَعْلَمَ [as meaning He made such a one to know a thing, or person, to be, as in the saying, أَرَيْتُ زَيْدًا عَمْرًامُنْطَلِقًا I made Zeyd to know “ Amr to be going away, which may be rendered I showed Zeyd that 'Amr was going away,] requires [as this ex. shows] three objective complements.
5 This is not the case in the saying in the Kur [iv. 106], لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسَ بِمَا أَرَاكَ ٱللّٰهُ; for here it has but two objective complements, namely, the ك in اراك, and the suppressed pronoun هُ in أَرَاكَهُ: it is in this instance from الرَّأْىُ in the sense of الإِعْتِقَادُ: the meaning is, [That thou mayest judge between men] by means of that which God hath taught thee, syn. عَرَّفَكَ, or عَلَّمَكَ, and revealed to thee.
6 See also 1, in the latter half of the paragraph, in two places, in which the pass., أُرِىَ, is mentioned.
def.2 أَرْأَى [as an intrans. v., preserving the original form, Verbal.Noun إِرْآءٌ, as below,] He looked in the mirror; and so فِى المِرْآةِ and فِيهَا: or signifies he looked at his face in the mirror or in the sword: and تَمَرْأَى فِى المَآءِ he looked at his face in the water; the doing of which is forbidden in a trad; of the measure تَمَفْعَلَ [from المِرْآةُ]; mentioned by Sb; like تَمَسْكَنَ from المِسْكِينُ, and تَمَدْرَعَ from المِدْرَعَةُ, and تَمَنْدَلَ from المِنْدِيلُ.
2 He had many dreams.
3 He moved his eyelids, or made much motion with his eyes, in looking: you say, هُوَ يُرْئِىبِعَيْنَيْهِ, and يُرَأْرِئٌ بِعَيْنَيْهِ.
4 He acted well, or righteously, in order to make others see what he did, and hear of it. [See also 3.]
5 He possessed, or became possessed of, intelligence and judgment and forecast: Verbal.Noun إِرْآءٌ.
6 And He had the appearance, or evidence, of foolishness, or stupidity, in his face: (T, K, TA: [the words by which Az explains this meaning are تَبَيَّنَتْ آراؤهُ فى وَجْهِهِ وهى الحماقةُ, accord. to one copy of the T; in another copy of the same, الرؤاه: the TA follows the former reading: but the right reading is الرَّأْوَةٌ; mentioned in the T, thus correctly written, in art. رأرأ; in the S, in the present art; and in the M, in art. رأو, which is its proper art., and therefore the proper art. of the verb in the sense thus explained:]) thus it bears two contr. meanings.
7 Also He had what is termed a رَئِىّ, of the jinn, or genii; i. e., a follower, of the jinn.
8 And He followed the opinion, or belief, of some one, or more, of the lawyers in the science of the law.
9 أَرْأَتْ said of a she-camel and of a ewe or she-goat, and of any female in a state of pregnancy, except a solidhoofed animal and a beast of prey, Her udder showed her to be pregnant: and in like manner it is said of a woman: or, said of a ewe or she-goat, she was, or became, big in her udder: and accord. to IAar, said of a she-goat, she was, or became, swollen in her vulva, and her being so became apparent, or evident. And أَرْأَى said of a man, His ewe, or she-goat, was, or became, black in her udder.
def.3 See also 1, in two places, near the end of the paragraph.
def.4 [It is also said in the K and TA that أَرأَى, said of a camel, means اِنْتَكَثَ خَطْمُهُ عَلَى حَلْقِهِ; in the CK انْتَكَبَ; and in the TA this is said to be on the authority of En-Nadr: but in a copy of the T, I find it stated, on the authority of ISh, that الارآ (i. e. الإِرْآءُ) signifies انتكاثُ خطم البَعيرِ على حَلْقِه: in another copy of the T, on the authority of En-Nadr, that الرآ (a mistranscription for الإِرْآءُ) signifies انتكاث خطم البعير خِلقة: and it is added that the epithet applied to a camel is مُرأى (as in one copy, i. e. , and thus it is written in the TA, but in the other copy of the T مراْى, an obvious mistranscription); and to camels, مُرآاتٌ (as in one copy, for مُرْأَاتٌ, i. e. مُرْآتٌ, in the other copy of the T erroneously written مُرَأاة, and in the TA مرايات): therefore the verb is evidently أُرْئِىَ, in the pass. form, Verbal.Noun إِرْآءٌ; and I think that the correct explanation is اِنْتَكَثَ خَطْمُهُ خِلْقَةً, app. meaning His muzzle was thin, or lean, by nature: see art. نكث: and see also مُرْأًى below.]
2 One says also, أَرَى ٱللّٰهُ بِفُلَانٍ, meaning God showed men by [the example of] such a one punishment and destruction: or God showed by [the example of] such a one that which would cause his enemy to rejoice at his misfortune: a saying of the Arabs: (T in art. رى:) said only in relation to evil.
3 And أَرِنِى الشَّىْءَ Give thou, or hand thou, to me the thing.
4 أَرَى in the sense of أَعْلَمَ [as meaning He made such a one to know a thing, or person, to be, as in the saying, أَرَيْتُ زَيْدًا عَمْرًامُنْطَلِقًا I made Zeyd to know “ Amr to be going away, which may be rendered I showed Zeyd that 'Amr was going away,] requires [as this ex. shows] three objective complements.
