رخو رد ردأ


1. ⇒ ردّ

رَدَّهُ, (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.,) aor. ـَ {يَرْدَدُ}, (Ṣ, M, L,) inf. n. رَدٌّ (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.) and مَرَدٌّ (Ṣ, M, L, Ḳ) and مَرْدُودٌ, (Ṣ, L, Ḳ,) this last an inf. n. like مَحْلُوفٌ and مَعْقُولٌ, (Ṣ, L,) and رِدَّةٌ (Ṣ [there said to be an inf. n., like رَدٌّ of رَدَّهُ,, aor. ـُ {يَرْدُدُ},]) and رِدِّيدَى, (Ṣ, L, Ḳ, [but in the Ṣ and L merely said to be syn. with رَدٌّ,]) an intensive form, (Mgh, TA,) and تَرْدَادٌ, which is [also] an intensive or a frequentative inf. n. of رَدَّهُ, (Sb, M, L,) and likewise an inf. n. of ردّدهُ; (Sb, Ṣ, M, L;) andارتدّهُ↓; (M, L;) He made, or caused, him, or it, to return, go back, come back, or revert; sent, turned, or put, him, or it, back, or away; returned, rejected, repelled, or averted, him, or it; syn. رَجَعَهُ, (Ṣ, M, L, Mṣb,) and صَرَفَهُ, (Ṣ, M, L, Ḳ) and دَفَعَهُ; (Mṣb in art. دفع, &c.;) عَنْ وَجْهِهِ [from his, or its, course]. (Ṣ, M.) Hence, in the Ḳur [xxx. 42 and xlii. 46], يَوْمٌ لَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ [A day which there shall be no repelling, or averting], meaning the day of resurrection. (Th, M, L.) One says, أَمْرُ ٱللّٰهِ لَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ The command of God, there is no repelling, or averting it. (L.) And لَيْسَ لِأَمْرِ ٱللّٰهِ مَرْدُودٌ i. e. رَدٌّ [There is no repelling, or averting, the command of God.] (A.) And رَدَّهُ عَنِ الأَمْرِ He made him to return or revert, or turned him back or away, with gentleness, from the thing, or affair; as also لَدَّهُ. (T, L.)

Root: رد - Entry: 1. Signification: A2

Accord. to some, رَدَّ is made doubly trans. with إِلَى to the second objective complement when honour is intended to be shown, and with عَلَى when dishonour is intended; and they adduce as evidence of the correctness of their assertion the sayings in the Ḳur [xxviii. 12] فَرَدَدْنَاهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ [So we returned, or restored, him to his mother] and [iii. 142] يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ [They will turn you back, or cause you to return, to your former condition]: but instances may be found at variance with this assertion. (MF.) [Such instances are of frequent occurrence; though in others, the distinction pointed out above is observed, as may be seen in what here follows.] You say, رَدَّهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ He sent him back to his abode. (Ṣ, L, Mṣb.) And رَدَّ إِلَيْهِ جَوَابًا He returned, or rendered, to him a reply, or an answer; (Ṣ, A,* L, Mṣb;) he sent to him a reply, or an answer. (Mṣb.) And رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ He replied to him, or answered him, in an absolute sense; (L;) and also, by way of refutation or objection, i. e. he replied against him; فَقَالَ and said, or بِقَوْلِهِ by his saying. (TA, &c., passim.) And رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ He returned to him the salutation. (The Trads., &c., passim.) And رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الوَدِيعَةَ He returned, rendered, restored, or sent [back], to him the deposite; (Mṣb;) and المَنِيحَةَ [the she-camel, or sheep, or goat, lent to him for him to milk her]. (Ṣ in art. منح.) And رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الشَّىْءَ, (Ṣ, Mgh, L, Ḳ,) inf. n. رَدٌّ and مَرَدٌّ, (Mgh,) He rejected the thing, (such as a gift, A, and bad money, L,) refusing to receive it, or accept it, from him; [as though he cast it back at him;] and soرَادَّهُ↓ الشَّىْءَ. (Ṣ, L, Ḳ.*) And in like manner, He rejected the thing in reply to him, charging him with error in respect of it. (Ṣ, L, Ḳ.) And رَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ [I rebutted, rejected, or repudiated, in reply to him, his saying, charging him with error therein; I refused him my assent to it]. (A, Mṣb.) [And رَدَدْتُ قَوْلَهُ I rebutted, rejected, or repudiated, in reply, or replication, his saying, as wrong, or erroneous; refuted it, or refelled it; refused assent to it; controverted it, or contradicted it. And رَدَّ الأَمْرَ He refused assent, or consent, to the thing, or affair. And رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الأَمْرَ He refused him his assent, or consent, to the thing, or affair.] And رَدَّ السَّائِلَ He turned back, or away, the beggar, or asker, from the object of his want: (A:) [he rebuffed him:] or he sent away, or dismissed, the beggar, or asker, either with refusal or with a gift: occurring in trads. with both of these meanings.
