بطش بطق بطل


بِطَاقَةٌ

بِطَاقَةٌ A piece of paper: (IAạr, M, Ṣgh, TA:) in the Ḳ, الحَدَقَةُ is erroneously put for الوَرَقَةُ: (TA:) a ticket that is attached to a garment, or piece of cloth, (T, Ṣ, M, L, Ḳ,) bearing the mark, or inscription, of its price; (T, Ṣ, L, Ḳ;) or a ticket marked, or inscribed, with the weight, and the number, of a thing: (TA:) of the dial. of Egypt (T, Ṣ, L) and the neighbouring parts: (T, L:) so called, (Ḳ,) or said (by Sh, TA) to be so called, (Ṣ,) because it is tied by a twist, or thread, (بِطَاقَةً,) of the unwoven end of the cloth: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) but this is a mistake: (ISd, TA:) [in Greek, πιττάκιον, as observed by Freytag; and hence probably derived:] accord. to some, it is [نِطَاقَةً,] with ن, because it tells (تَنْطِقُ) what is marked, or inscribed, thereon; but this is strange. (TA.) It is said in a trad., that a man will be brought on the day of resurrection, and ninety-nine scrolls, or records, inscribed with his sins will be produced; and there will be produced for him a بطاقة bearing the testimony that there is no deity but God, and it will outweigh the others. (TA.)
