(Mṣb.)

Er-Rághib, after giving the explanation mentioned as on his authority above, says that it is then sometimes applied to The camel [itself]: and is sometimes used in the sense next following; i. e.

A part, of a place of alighting or abode, upon which on sits: (TA:) or a man's dwelling, or habitation; (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA; [in the first of which, this commences the art., app. showing that the author held this to be the primary signification;]) his house or tent; and his place of alighting or abode: (TA:) a place to which a man betakes himself, or repairs, for lodging, covert, or refuge; a man's place of resort; (Mgh, Mṣb;) in a region, district, or tract, of cities, towns, or villages, and of cultivated land: and then applied to the goods, utensils, or apparatus, of a traveller; because they are, in travelling, the things to which he betakes himself: (Mṣb:) pl. أَرْحُلٌ (TA) and رِحَالٌ [as above]. (Mgh, TA.) One says, دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ رَحْلَهُ, i. e. [I went in to the man in] his dwelling, or place of abode. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., إِذَا ٱبْتَلَّتِ النِّعَالُ فَصَلُّوا فِى الرِّحَالِ, (TA,) or فِىلصَّلَاةُ فِى الرِّحَالِ, (Mgh, and so in the TA in art. نعل,) i. e. [When the نِعَال are moistened by rain, then pray ye, or then prayer shall be performed,] in the houses, or habitations, or places of abode; the نعال meaning here the حِرَار; (IAth, TA in the present art.;) or rugged and hard tracts of ground; which are here particularized because the least wet moistens them, whereas the soft tracts dry up the water: (IAth, TA in art. نعل:) Az says that the meaning is, when the hard grounds are rained upon, they become slippery to him who walks upon them; therefore pray ye in your abodes, and there shall not be anything brought against you for your not being present at the prayer in the mosques of the congregations: (TA in that art.:) or the trad. may mean, then pray ye [on the camels' saddles, i. e.] riding. (TA in the present art.)

In another trad., it is related that ʼOmar said to the Prophet, حَوَّلْتُ رَحْلِىَ البَارِحَةَ; by the word رَحْل, as signifying [properly] either the “place of abode and resort” or the “saddle upon which camels are ridden,” alluding to his wife; meaning غِشْيَانُهَا فِى قُبُلِهَا مِنْ جِهَةِ ظَهْرِهَا (TA.)

(Ṣ voce حِضَارٌ.) You say بَعِيرٌ ذُو رُحْلَةٍ andرِحْلَةٍ↓, andمِرْحَلٌ↓, like مِنْبَرٌ, (Ḳ,) orمُرْحِلٌ↓, andرَحِيلٌ↓, so in the T, (TA,) A strong he-camel: (T, Ḳ:) and (so in the Ḳ [but properly “or”]) بعير ذو رُحْلَةٍ (CK) orرِحْلَةٍ↓ (Ḳ accord. to the TA) or both, andمِرْحَلٌ↓, with kesr to the م (O,) andجَمَلٌ رَحِيلٌ↓, (AA, Ṣ, Ṣ, O, Ḳ, TA,) andنَاقَةٌ رَحِيلَةٌ↓ (Ṣ, O) or رَحِيلٌ, (TA,) and ذَاتُ رُحْلَةٍ, (Ṣ,) a he-camel, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) and a she-camel, (Ṣ, O,) strong to journey; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ, TA;) so says Fr: (O:) or strong to be saddled: (TA:) andنَاقَةٌ رَحِيلَةٌ↓ and رَحِيلٌ andمُرْحِلَةٌ↓, accord. to the “Nawádir el-Aaráb,” a she-camel that is excellent, generous, of high breed; or strong, light, and swift; (TA;) and soمُسْتَرْحِلَةٌ↓.

Also A removal, departure, or journey; (AZ, Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;) and soرُحْلَةٌ↓, (Lḥ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) andرَحِيلٌ↓: (Ṣ, Ḳ: [the last said in the Mṣb to be and inf. n.:]) you say دَنَتْ رِحْلَتُنَا (Ṣ) or قَرُبَتْ رِحْلَتُنَا (Mṣb) [Our removal,, &c., drew near, or has drawn near]: and إِنَّهُ لَذُو رِحْلَةٍ إِلَى المُلُوكِ andرِحْلَة↓ Verily he is one who journeys, or has journeyed, to the kings: (Lḥ, TA:) and in like manner رُحْلَةٌ is used in the Ḳur cvi. 2: (TA:)

رِحَالَةٌ A سَرْج [or horse's saddle]: (Ḳ:) or a سَرْج of skins, (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ,) in which is no wood; used for vehement running [of the horse]: (Ṣ, M, Ḳ:) ISd says also that it is one of the vehicles [or saddles] of women, like the رَحْل: but Az says that it is one of the vehicles [or saddles] of men, exclusively of women, i. e. not of women; as is also the رَحْل: and some say that it is larger than the سَرْج, covered with skins, and is for horses, and for excellent, or strong and light and swift, camels: (TA:) pl. رَحَائِلُ. (Ṣ.) When a man is hasty in doing evil to his companion, one says to him, اِسْتَقْدَمَتْ رِحَالَتُكَ [lit. Thy saddle has got before thee, or shifted forwards]: (Ṣ in the present art.:) it is a prov., meaning that has preceded than which another was more fit to do so. (Ṣ in art. قدم.) In the following saying of Imra-el-Ḳeys, addressing his wife,

* فَإِمَّا تَرَيْنِى فِى رِحَالَةِ جَابِرٍ *

* عَلَى حَرَجٍ كَٱلْقَرِّتَخْفِقُ أَكْفَانِى *

[And either thou wilt see me upon the saddle of Jábir, upon a bier like the vehicle called قَرّ, my grave-clothes fluttering], he means, by the word رحالة, [merely] the حَرَج; there being in this case no رحالة in reality: it is like the saying, جَآءَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى نَاقَةِ الحَذَّآءِ, meaning [“Such a one came upon] the sandal [or sandals]:” Jábir is the name of a certain carpenter. (Ṣ.)

رَحَّالٌ Skilled in the saddling of camels. (Ḳ.)

Also A man who removes, or journeys, or travels, much; and soرَحَّالَةٌ↓, [or rather this signifies one who removes, or journeys, or travels, very much,] andرَحُولٌ↓: andرُحَّلٌ↓ [pl. of رَاحِلٌ, q. v.,] persons who remove, or journey, or travel, much. (TA.)

رَاحِلٌ Removing, (Ḳ, TA,) going, [going away, departing, going forth,] or journeying: (TA:) pl. رُحَّلٌ. (TA.) For another meaning assigned to the pl., see رَحَّالٌ.

رَاحِلَةٌ A she-camel that is fit to be saddled; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;) thus some say; (Mṣb;) as alsoرَحُولٌ↓ (Ṣ, Ḳ) andرَحُولَةٌ↓: (Ḳ:) or [generally a saddle-camel, or] a camel that is ridden, male or female: (Ṣ, Mṣb:) accord. to IḲt, a she-camel that is strong to journey and to bear burdens; and such as a man chooses for his riding and his saddle on account of excellence, or generousness, or high breed, or of strength and lightness and swiftness, and of perfectness of make, and beauty of aspect: but this explanation is wrong: (Az, TA:) it signifies a he-camel, and a she-camel, that is excellent, or generous, or high-bred, or strong and light and swift: (Az, Mgh, TA:) the she-camel is not more entitled to this appellation than the he-camel: (Az, TA:) the ة is added to give intensiveness to the signification; as in دَاهِيَةٌ and بَاقِعَةٌ and عَلَّامَةٌ, epithets applied to a man: or, as some say, the she-camel is so called because she is saddled; and it is like عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ meaning مَرْضِيَّةٌ, and مَآءٌ دَافِقٌ meaning مَدْفُوقٌ: or, as others say, because she is ذَاتُ رَحْلٍ [one having a saddle]; and in like manner, عِيشَةٌ رَاضِيَةٌ means ذَاتُ رَضًى, and مَآءٌ دَافِقٌ means ذُو دَفْقٍ: (TA:) the pl. is رَوَاحِلُ. (Ṣ, Mṣb.) It is said in a trad., تَجِدُونَ النَّاسَ بَعْدِى كَإِبِلٍ مِائَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا رَاحِلَةٌ [Thou wilt find the people, or mankind, after me, like a hundred camels among which there is not a راحلة]: (Mgh,* TA:) because the راحلْ among a herd of camels is conspicuous and known. (TA.)

مَشَتْ رَوَاحِلِى, a phrase used by the poet Dukeyn, means ‡ I have become hoary and weak: or, as some say, I have forsaken my ignorant, or foolish, behaviour, and have restrained myself from foul conduct, and become obedient to my censurers; like as the راحلة obeys her chider, and goes. (TA.)

رَاحُولَاتٌ A camel's saddle, (رَحْلٌ, Az, Ḳ,) or camel's saddles, so in the O, (TA,) variegated, figured, or embellished. (Az, O, Ḳ, TA.) [It is really, as well as literally, a pl.: for] a poet says,

* عَلَيْهِنَّ رَاحُولَاتُ كُلِّ قَطِيفَةٍ *

[Upon them (referring evidently to she-camels) are variegated, figured, or embellished, saddles of every kind of villous, or nappy, cloth]. (TA.)

أَرْحَلُ ‡ A horse white in the back; (Ṣ, Mgh, Ḳ;) because it is the place of the رَحْل [or rather of the رِحَالَة]; (Mgh, TA;) the whiteness not reaching to the belly nor to the rump nor to the neck: (TA:) and a sheep or goat black in the back: accord. to Abu-l-Ghowth, the fem., رَحْلَآءُ, applied to a mare, has the former meaning only: (Ṣ:) but شَاةٌ رَحْلَآءُ means a sheep or goat, or a ewe or she-goat, white in the back, and black in the other parts; and likewise black in the back, and white in the other parts: (Ṣ, Ḳ:*) so says Abu-l-Ghowth: (Ṣ:) and it is also explained as meaning black, but white in the place of the saddle, from the hinder parts of the shoulderblades: also as meaning white, but black in the back: Az adds that such as is white in one of the hind legs is termed رَجْلَآءُ [with جيم]. (TA.)

تَرْحِيلٌ † A whiteness predominating over, or interrupted by, blackness, (شُهْبَةٌ,) or a redness, upon the shoulder-blades, (Ḳ, TA,) the place upon which lies the رَحْل [or camel's saddle]. (TA.)

تَرْحِيلَةٌ A thing that makes thee to remove, go, go away, depart, go forth, or journey; expl. by مَا يُرَحّلُكَ. (TA.)

مُرْحِلٌ One who breaks, or trains, and renders fit to be saddled, a camel or camels. (TA.)

مَرْحَلَةٌ [A station of travellers; i. e.] a place of alighting or abode, between two such places: (TA:) [and also a day's journey, or thereabout; or] the space which the traveller journeys in about a day: (Mṣb:) sing. of مَرَاحِلُ; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;) which is also a pl. of مُرَحَّلٌ as an epithet applied to a بُرْد. (TA.) One says, بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ كَذَا مَرْحَلَةٌ أَوْمَرْحَلَتَانِ [Between me and such a place, or thing, is a station or a day's journey or thereabout, or are two stations, &c.]. (Ṣ, TA.)

إِبِلٌ مُرَحَّلَةٌ Camels having their رِحَال [or saddles] upon them: and also camels whose رِحَال have been put down from them: thus having two contr. meanings. (Ḳ.)

And بُرْدٌ مُرَحَّلٌ A garment of the kind termed بُرْد upon which are the figures of a رَحْل [or camels' saddle], (Ḳ,) and the like thereof; as in the T: (TA:) the explanation that J has given of it, [or rather of مِرْطٌ مُرَحَّلٌ,] i. e. an إِزَار [or a waist-wrapper] of [the cloth called] خَزّ, upon which is an ornamented border, is not good: such is termed مُرَجَّلٌ, with جِيم: (Ḳ:) the pl. is مُرَحَّلَاتٌ and مَرَاحِلُ; both occurring in traditions; (TA in the present art.;) and the latter of them said in the T to be syn. with مَرَاجِلُ, which is pl. of مِرْجَلٌ [q. v.].
