Full Definition

بَاغٍ Seeking; seeking for, or after; seeking, desiring, or endeavouring, to find, and take, or get: pl. بُغَاةٌ and بُغْيَانٌ and بُغَّآءٌ. (TA: [there mentioned as a pl., but not said to be of بَاغٍ, nor explained.]) بَاغٍ وَهَادٍ, lit. A seeker of [stray] camels and a guide of the way, mentioned in a trad. respecting the Hijreh , alludes to the seeking of religion and the guiding from error. One says, فَرِّقُوا لِهٰذِهِ الإِبِلِ بُغْيَانًا يُضِبُّونَ لَهَا, i. e. [Disperse ye, for these camels, seekers] to scatter themselves in search thereof.
2 Acting wrongfully, injuriously, or tyrannically, [&c.,] towards others: pl. بُغَاةٌ. غَيْرَ بَاغٍ, in the Kur ii. 168, [&c.,] means Not being a revolter from the Muslims, or, against the Imám: or it means not desiring to eat for the sake of enjoyment: or not seeking to exceed the limit of his want: or not seeking what he should not seek. فِئَةٌ بَاغِيَهٌ A company of men revolting from the just Imám. فِرْقَةٌ بَاغِيَةٌ A party occupying itself with corrupt, wrong, or unjust, conduct.
3 A camel that does not impregnate, or get with young.
4 A horse that is proud, or self-conceited, with exceeding briskness or liveliness or sprightliness: [but] Kh disallows its being thus used.

def.2 [The pl.] بُغْيَانٌ also signifies What the sportsman, or hunter, seeks, of game, or objects of the chase. مَبْغًى [A place where a thing is sought: and hence, a way, or manner, in which a thing is, or should be, sought]: this is meant in the saying, بَغَيْتُ المَالَ مِنْ [I sought wealth by the way, or manner, whereby it should be sought]; like as مَأْتًى is meant in the saying, أَتَيْتُ الأَمْرَ مِنْ مَأْتَاتِهِ.
