Verbal.Noun قَصٌّ, He cut it; or he clipped it, or shore it, or cut off from it; namely, hair, and wool, and plumage, and a nail of a finger or toe; with the
مِقَصّ, q. v.: as also
قصّصهُ , and, by permutation, قَصَّاهُ: or these two forms have an intensive signification: or you say, الظُّفْرَ وَنَحْوَهُ, meaning, I pared the nail and the like.
2 Also, He cut off from it, namely, a garment, or piece of cloth, its unwoven end, or extremity, consisting of warp without woof.
3 And He cut off the extremities of his ears. قُصِّيهِ occurs in a trad., as meaning, Take thou from the extremities of his ears. [But this may be from the root قصو, q. v.]
4 And [hence,] قَصَّ ٱللّٰهُ خَطَايَاهُ
def.2 قَصَّ أَثَرَهُ, Present.Tقَصُصَ
Verbal.Noun قَصَصٌ, in [some of] the copies of the K قَصِيصٌ, but the former is the right, and قَصٌّ, He followed, or followed after, his track, or footsteps, in pursuit; endeavoured to trace him, or track him; or he did so by degrees: or by night: or at any time: which last is the correct explanation: and قَصَّهُ signifies the same, and so اقتصّ اثره, and تقصّص اثره: and قَسَّ is a dial. form of the same. You say, خَرَجَ فُلَانٌ
قَصَصًا فِى أَثَرِ فُلَانٍ
Such a one went forth following, or following after, the footsteps of such a one, in pursuit. And it is said in the Kur, [xviii. 63,] فَٱرْتَدَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا And they both returned by the way by which they had come, retracing their footsteps.
2 [And hence,] قَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الخَبَرَ, and الحَدِيثَ, and الرُّؤْيَا, Present.Tقَصُصَ
Verbal.Noun قَصَصٌ, or this is a subst. put in the place of the Verbal.Noun so that it has become predominant over it, and قَصٌّ, or the latter only is the Verbal.Noun, and the former is [only] a subst., He related to him the piece of news, or information, and the tradition, or story, and the dream, in its proper manner (عَلَى وَجْهِهِ): or he made it known [to him]: and اقتصّ الحَدِيثَ
he related the tradition, or story, in its proper manner (عَلَى وَجْهِهِ); as though he followed its traces, in pursuit, and related it accordingly: [i. e., he pursued the course of the tradition, or story:] and تقصّص الخَبَرَ
he pursued, or sought after, the particulars of the news, or information, gradually, and deliberately. قَصَّ is also said to signify He recited, or delivered, a [discourse such as is termed] خُطْبَة. And it is said in the Kur, [xii. 3,] نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ
عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ القَصَصِ
We explain unto thee with the best explanation: or, as some say, قَصٌّ is the Verbal.Noun of the verb used in this sense, and قَصَصٌ is a subst. [syn. with قِصَّةٌ, q. v.]. And in a trad. respecting the Children of Israel it is said, لَمَّا قَصُّوا هَلَكُوا: or لَمَّا هَلَكُوا قَصُّوا: accord. to different relations: meaning, When they relied upon words, and neglected works, they perished: or when they perished, by neglecting works, they inclined to, and relied upon, stories.
