Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

بَتَّهُ, (Lth, T, Ṣ, M, &c.,) aor. ـُ {يَبْتُتُ} and ـِ {يَبْتِتُ}, (Ṣ, M, Mṣb,) the latter anomalous, because a reduplicative verb [of this kind] having the aor. with kesr is not trans., except in certain instances, of which this is one; the other instances being عَلَّهُ, in relation to drinking,, aor. ـُ {يَعْلُلُ} and ـِ {يَعْلِلُ}, and نَمَّ الحَدِيثَ, aor. ـُ {يَنْمُمُ} and ـِ {يَنْمِمُ}, and شَدَّهُ, aor. ـُ {يَشْدُدُ} and ـِ {يَشْدِدُ}, and حَبَّهُ, aor. ـِ {يَحْبِبُ}; the last having but one form [of aor.]; (Ṣ;) inf. n. بَتٌّ: (Lth, T, Ṣ, M, A, &c.:) andابتّهُ↓, (M,) inf. n. إِبْتَاتٌ: (Mgh, Ḳ:) He cut it off, severed it, separated it, or disunited it, (Lth, T, Ṣ, M, A,* Mgh,* Mṣb, Ḳ,*) entirely, or utterly; (Lth, T, M;) namely, a thing; (M;) a rope, or cord; (Lth, T;) and a tie, or bond, of union between two persons. (M.)

[بَتَّهُ andابتّهُ↓, accord. to the TA, app. signify also He, or it, caused him (a man) to become unable to proceed in his journey, his camel that bore him breaking down, or stopping from fatigue, or perishing: for انبتّ as signifying “he became so” is there said to be quasi-pass. of those two verbs when it has this sense. Hence,] بَتَّهُ السَّفَرُ [The journey caused him to become cut off,, &c.]. (A.) And سَاقَ دَابَّتَهُ حَتَّى بَتَّهَا [He urged on his beast so that, or until, he caused it to become cut off,, &c.]: (A:) andأَبَتَّ↓ بَعِيرَهُ He caused his camel to become cut off,, &c., (قَطَعَةُ,) by travel: (M, TA:) this is not said but of a man who has forced on his camel at a hard pace, or by laborious journeying. (TA.)

بَتَّ طَلَاقَ ٱمْرَأَتِهِ, (T, Mṣb, TA,) or طَلَاقَ المَرْأَةِ, (Mgh,) andأَبَتَّهُ↓, (Lth, T, Mgh, Mṣb,) He made the divorce of his wife, or of the woman, to be absolutely separating, (Lth, T, Mgh, Mṣb, TA,) so as to cut her off from return. (Mṣb.) Lth, with whom AZ agrees, has erred in asserting that بَتَّ is intrans. andأَبَتّ↓ trans.: (T, TA:) both are trans. and intrans., (T, Mṣb, TA,) as En-Nawawee asserts in the Tahdheeb el-Asmà wa-1-Loghát. (TA.) You say, الطَّلْقَةُ الوَاحِدَةُ تَبُتُّ, andتُبِتُّ↓, i. e. The single divorce cuts the matrimonial tie, or bond, of the woman, (تَقْطَعُ عِصْمَةَ النِّكَاحِ, T, Mgh,*) when the period during which she must wait before contracting a new marriage has ended. (T.) [See also بَتٌّ.]

بَتَّ عَلَيْهِ القَضَآءَ, (T, Ṣ, M, A,) inf. n. بَتٌّ; (M;) andأَبَتَّهُ↓; (T, Ṣ, M;) He (the judge, T) decided the judgment, or sentence, against him. (T, Ṣ,* M.)

بَتَّ عَلَيْهِ الشَّهَادَةَ, andأَبَتَّهَا↓, He decided against him by the testimony, [or pronounced the testimony decisive against him,] and compelled, or constrained, him to admit it. (M.)

بَتَّ شَهَادَتَهُ, andأَبَتَّهَا↓, He gave his testimony decisively. (Mṣb.)

أَبُتُّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ I know, or declare, decidedly, not [merely] thinking it, that he said thus. (Saheeh of Muslim.)

بَتَّ النِّيَّةَ He made the intention decided; or fixed it decidedly. (A.) It is said in a trad.,لَا صِيَامَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يُبِتَّ↓ الصّيَامِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ, (T, Ṣ, Mgh,) or لَمْ يَبُتَّ, accord. to different recitals, (Mgh,) i. e. There is no fasting to him [meaning his fasting is null] who does not decisively impose it upon himself, by intention, from the night: (Ṣ,* Mgh:) or, who does not form the intention of fasting before daybreak, and thus cut it off from the time in which there is no fasting, namely, the night: the intention is termed بَتٌّ [and إِبْتَاتٌ] because it makes a division between non-fasting and fasting: (T, TA:) لَمْ يُبِت, from الإِبَاتَةُ, is a mistake; but لم يُبَيِّت, from التَّبْيِيتُ, [see بَيَّتَ,] is correct. (Mgh.) And it is said in another trad.,أَبِتُّوا↓ نِكَاحَ هٰذِهِ النِّسَآءِ, i. e. Decide ye the affair respecting the marriage of these women, and confirm it by its [proper] conditions: an oblique prohibition of the kind of marriage termed نِكَاحُ المُتْعَةِ, because it is a marriage not [absolutely or lawfully] decided, [being] made definite as to duration. (TA.)

بَتَّ also signifies He made to have, or take, effect; he executed, or performed; (Ḥar p. 210;) and soابتّ↓, as in the phrase, ابتّ يَمِينَهُ He made his oath to have, or take, effect; he executed, or performed, it. (M.)

سَكْرِانُ مَا يَبُتُّ كَلَامًا, (Ks, T, M,) and ما يَبِتُّ, (M,) andما يُبِتُّ↓, (Ks, T, M,) One who is drunk, who does not speak plainly, or distinctly; lit., who does not make speech plain, or distinct; (Ks, T;) or who does not articulate speech; syn. مَا يَقْطَعُهُ: (M:) or, as Aṣ says, (T,) سَكْرَانُ مَا يَبُتُّ, (T, A,) or لَا يَبُتُّ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) and لا يَبِتُّ, andلا يُبَتُّ↓, (Ḳ,) which last form of the verb is disallowed by Aṣ, but both are correct accord. to Fr, (T, Ṣ,) meaning one who is drunk, who does not, or will not, [i. e. cannot,] decide an affair. (Aṣ, T, Ṣ, Ḳ.) [See also بَاتٌّ.]

(TA.) You say, اِنْقَطَعَ فُلَانٍ فَٱنْبَتَّ حَبْلُهُ عَنْهُ [Such a one broke off, or disunited himself, from such a one, and his tie, or bond, of union became severed from him]. (T, TA, [but in a copy of the former, for عن فلان, is put عَنْ مَالِهِ from his property.])

He became unable to proceed in his journey, his camel that bore him breaking down, or stopping from fatigue, or perishing: (A,* Mgh,* TA:) quasi-pass. of بَتَّهُ and أَبَتَّهُ. (TA.) You say, سَارَ حَتَّى ٱنْبَتَّ He journeyed until he was unable to proceed, &c. (A, Mgh, TA.) [See also مُنْبَتٌّ.]

طَلَّقَهَا, (Mgh, Ḳ,) andبَتَاتًا↓, (Ḳ,) and البَتَّةَ, (T,) and طَلْقَةً بَتَّةً, (Mṣb,) andطَلَاقًا بَاتَّا↓, (Lth, T, Mṣb,* TA, [in one copy of the T simply بَاتَّا,]) He divorced her by a separating divorce; (Ḳ;) by a divorce cutting her off from returning: and such a divorce is also termed طلاق مُبِتٌّ↓: (Mṣb:) or the first of these phrases signifies he divorced her by a divorce either cut off, [meaning decided and irrevocable,] or cutting off.

[اَلْبَتَّةَ], (MF,) and thus it is written in a copy of the Ḳ, (TA,) but others greatly disapprove of this, (MF,) [meaning I will not do it, decidedly, or absolutely,] is said of anything in respect of which there is no returning, or revoking; (Ṣ, IF, M, Mṣb, Ḳ;) الَبتَّةَ being said of a thing to be done, or performed, irrevocably, and from which there is no abstaining by reason of sluggishness; (T;) as though the speaker cut off the doing of the thing: (M:) the last word is in the accus. case as an inf. n.: (Ṣ:) Sb says, it is a corroborative inf. n., and is not used without ال.
