2 لاوص الشَّجَرَ He looked to the right and left to see how he might come to the trees, to pull them up, or out, or to cut them with the axe, and to see how he might strike them, or to see how he might cut them.
3 And hence, لَاوَصَنِى فُلَانُ عَنْ كَذَا Such a one endeavoured to turn me by deceit, or guile, from such a thing. [Hence also,] مَا زِلْتُ أُلَاوِصُهُ عَنْ كَذَا, and عَنْهُ, I ceased not to endeavour to turn him from such a thing; i. e. to endeavour to induce him to leave, or relinquish, such a thing; syn. أُديرُهُ عَنْهُ: and عَلَى كَذَا, and لَاوَصَهُ عَلَيْهِ, (M, K, art. دور,) he endeavoured to turn him to, or induce him to do, such a thing, (أَدَارَهُ عَلَيْهِ,) desiring, or seeking, it of him. Hence the saying of 'Omar to 'Othmán, respecting the sentence declaratory of belief in the unity of God, هِىَ الكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِى عَلَيْهَا النَّبِىُّ صَلَّى ٱللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمَّهُ It is the sentence which the Prophet endeavoured to induce and entice his uncle to utter; meaning Aboo-Tálib, when dying. And hence the phrase in another trad., وَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى خَلْعِهِ And verily thou wilt be urged with enticement, and solicited, to divest thyself of it. [Said by Mohammad to 'Othmán. See the preceding words of the trad. voce قَمَّصَ.] You say also, أَنْ آخُذَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا, Verbal.Noun إِلَاصَةٌ, I desired to take from him, or of it, something; (M, * K, TA; [but in a copy of the M, in the place of أَرَدْتُ, I find أَدَرْتُ, which I regard as a mistranscription;]) as also أَنَصْتُ, Verbal.Noun إِنَاصَةٌ.
