:] it is the general opinion of the leading lexicologists that بَعِدَ, as well as بَعُدَ, is thus used; but some deny this; and some assert that they may be employed alike, but that بَعُدَ is more chaste than بَعِدَ thus used.

2 [بَعُدَ referring to a saying or the like, and an event, means It was far from being probable or correct; it was improbable, extraordinary, or strange: (see بَعِيدٌ, and see also 10:) often occurring in these senses.] And ابعد فِى نَوْعِهِ It reached the utmost point, or degree, in its kind, or species. And ابعد فِى السَّوْمِ He exceeded the due bounds in offering a thing for sale and demanding a price for it, or in bargaining for a thing.
3 أَخَذَهُ مَا قَرُبَ وَ مَا بَعُدَ Recent and old griefs took hold upon him: a saying similar to أَخَذَهُ مَا قَدُمَ وَ مَا حَدُثَ. (Mgh in art. قدم.)
4 [بَعُدَ is often used, agreeably with a general rule, in the manner of a verb of praise or dispraise; and in this case is commonly contracted into بُعْدَ, like حُسْنَ; as in the phrase, in a verse of Imrael-Keys, بُعْدَ مَا مُتَأَمَّلى (in which ما is redundant) Distant, or far distant, was the object of my contemplation! or how distant, &c.!]
5 بَعِدَ, Present.T ـَ Verbal.Noun بَعَدٌ; and بَعْدَ, Present.T ـُ Verbal.Noun بُعْدٌ; also signify He, or it, perished: he died: it is the general opinion of the leading lexicologists that both these verbs are used as signifying “he perished,” and both occur in different readings of v. 98 of ch. xi. of the Kur: the former is said to be used in this sense by some of the Arabs; and the latter, by others; but some disallow the latter in this sense; and some say that the former is more chaste than the latter thus used: or both signify he became far distant from his home or native country; became a stranger, or estranged, therefrom: or the Arabs say, بَعِدَ الرَّجُلُ and بَعُدَ in the sense of تباعد, when not reviling; but when reviling, they say, بَعِدَ, only. You say, لَا تَبْعَدٌ وَ إِنْ بَعُدْتَ عَنَّى [Mayest thou not perish though thou be distant from me!] [And as an imprecation against a man, you say, بَعِدْتَ, meaning Mayest thou perish! (See the printed edition of the Ham, pp. 89 and 90, where بَعِدْتَاىَ هلكت is an evident mistake for َعِدْتَ أَى هَلَكْتَ.)] And بُعْدًا لَهُ May God alienate him, or estrange him, from good, or prosperity! or, curse him! i. e. may he not be pitied with respect to that which has befallen him! like سُحْقًا لَهُ: the most approved way being to put بعد thus in the accus. case as an Verbal.Noun; but the tribe of Temeem say, بُعْدٌ لَهُ, and سُحْقٌ, like غُلَامٌ لَهُ.
def.2 بَعُدَ is made trans. by means of [the preposition] ب: see 4.
