تكلّأV
; and
كلّأ , Verbal.Noun تَكْلِىْءٌ; He bought on credit. [This is the explanation given in the TK, and it appears to be correct. It is also there said, that تَكَلَّأْتُهُ signifies أَخَذْتُهُ نَسْيْئَةً, I took it, or bought it, on credit: and كَلَّأْتُ فِى
الطَّعَامِ, اخذته بالنّسيئةِ, I took, or bought, the food on credit, but the latter I render differently. In the K we read الكَالِئُ
والكُلْأَةُ بِالضَّمِّ النَّسِيْئَةُ والعُرْبُونُ وتَكَلَّأْتُ وكَلَّأْتُ تَكْلِيْئًا
أخَذْتُهُ. IbrD thinks that the last word should be أخَّرْتُ “ I postponed, or delayed ”: but I rather think that it should be أَخَذْتُهَا, meaning أَخَذْتُ نَسِيْئَةً
I took, or bought, on credit. in the TA we read, AO says, تَكَلَّأْتُ كُلْأَةً وكَلَّأْتُ
تَكْلِيْئًا إِسْتَنْسَأْتُ نَسِيْئَةَ أَىْ أَخَذْتُهُ وَالنَّسِيْئَةُ التَّأْخِيرُ
وَكَذٰلِكَ إِسْتَكْلَأْتُ كُلْأَةً: but the words اى
اخذته seem to have been added by SM; for in the S we find, on the authority of AO, تَكَلَّأْتُ أَىْ ٱسْسَنْسَأْتُ نَسِيْئَةً وَكَذٰلِكَ ٱسْتَكْلَأْتُ كُلْأَةً
بِالضَّمِّ وَهُوَ مِنَ التَّأْخِيرِ: whence it seems, that تكلّأ, (or تكلّأ كُلْأَةً, and كلّأ كُلْأَةً, see above,) and كُلأَةً, signify He asked for a delay of the period of the payment of a debt.] See 8.
