حَقِيقٌ

Root: حق

Full Definition

حَقِيقٌ Adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, proper, competent, or worthy; syn. خَلِيقٌ, and جَدِيرٌ; as also حَقٌّ , and [some say] مَحْقُوقٌ : حَقِيقٌ is said to be of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; but accord. to the A, it is not so, because its fem. is with ة; but is from the supposed verb حَقُقَ, and is like خَلِيقٌ from خَلُقَ, and جَدِيرٌ from جَدُرَ: and مَحْقُوقٌ signifies [properly] rendered adapted &c.: the pl. of حقيق is أَحِقَّآءُ; and that of is مَحْقُوقُونَ. You say, هُوَ حَقِيقٌ بِهِ and مَحْقُوقٌ به and حَقٌّ به [He is adapted, &c., for it; or worthy of it]. And to a woman, أَنْتَ حَقِيقَةٌ بِكَذَا and حَقِيقَةٌ لِذٰلِكَ and لِذٰلِكَ [Thou art adapted, &c., for such a thing and for that thing; or worthy of it]. And أَنْتَ حَقِيقٌ بِأَنْ تَفْعَلَ and مَحْقُوقٌ [Thou art adapted, &c., for thy doing such a thing; or worthy of doing it]. And هُوَ حَقِيقٌ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا [He is adapted, &c., for his doing such a thing; or worthy to do it]; in which case, ان is for بِأَنْ. [And حَقِيقٌ بِكَذَا also signifies Having a right, or just title or claim, to such a thing; entitled to such a thing.] It is said in the Kur [vii. 103], حَقِيقٌ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أَقْولَ عَلَى ٱللّٰهِ إِلَّا الحَقَّ, meaning I am disposed [not] to say [of God aught save] the truth: or, as some say, I am vehemently desirous [that I should not say &c.]; for, accord. to Aboo-'Alee, أَنَا حَقِيقٌ عَلَى كَذَا means I am vehemently desirous of such a thing: but one reading, that of Náfi', is حَقِيقٌ عَلَىَّ أَنْ لَا أَقُولَ, It is binding, or obligatory, or incumbent, on me [that I should not say].
