Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

رَسَمَ الدَّارَ, (M,) or الدِّيَارَ, (Ḳ,) [aor. ـُ {يَرْسُمُ}, accord. to a rule of the Ḳ,] inf. n. رَسْمٌ, (M,) It (the rain) rased the house or dwelling, or the houses or dwellings, leaving a relic, or relics, thereof cleaving to the ground. (M, Ḳ.) In the saying of El-Hotei-ah,

* أَمِنْ رَسْمِ دَارٍ مُرْبِعٌ وَمُصِيفُ *

* لِعَيْنَيْكَ مِنْ مَآءِ الشُّؤُونِ وَكِيفُ *

[Is it in consequence of autumn-rain's and springrain's rasing of a dwelling so as to leave only a relic thereof cleaving to the ground, that there is to thine eyes a distilling of the water of the tearchannels?], مربع and مصيف are in the nom. case because of the inf. n., i.e. رسم. (M, TA. [But in the latter, مَصِيفُ: and in a copy of the former, مَرْبَعٌ and مَصِيفُ, both of which are evidently wrong.])

[رَسَمَ often signifies He marked, or stamped: and he drew, traced, traced out, sketched, sketched out, or planned: and he delineated, or described.] You say, رَسَمَ الطَّعَامَ He stamped, or sealed, the corn; (TA in art. رشم;) as also رَشَمَهُ. (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA, all in that art. [See رَوْسَمٌ.]) And رَسَمْتُ البِنَآءَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, I marked out the building. (Mṣb.) And رَسَمَ كِتَابًا وَلَمْ يَحْشُهُ [He sketched out a book and did not fill it up]. (Mz 1st نوع.) And رَسَمْتُ الكِتَابَ I wrote the book, or letter, or writing. (Mṣb.) And رَسَمَ عَلَى كَذَا He wrote upon such a thing; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) and رَشَمَ is a dial. var. thereof. (TA.)

[Hence,] رَسَمَ لَهُ كَذَا, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA,) or بِكَذَا, (Mṣb,) ‡ [He prescribed to him the doing of such a thing;] he commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do such a thing. (Ṣ,* Mṣb,* Ḳ, TA.) [And رَسَمَ لَهُ كَذَا also means † he assigned, or appointed, him such a thing, as a stipend, &c.: often used in this sense.]

رَسَمَتْ said of a she-camel, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) aor. ـُ {يَرْسُمُ} (Ṣ, M, [and so accord. to a rule of the Ḳ,]) or ـِ, not ـُ, (TA,) inf. n. رَسِيمٌ, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) She made marks upon the ground (Ṣ, M, Ḳ) by the vehemence of her tread. (Ṣ, M.)

And رَسَمَ said of a camel, aor. ـِ {يَرْسِمُ}, inf. n. رَسِيمٌ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) with which مِرْسَمٌ is syn., (Ḳ,) He went a certain pace, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) exceeding that which is termed ذَمِيل [inf. n. of ذَمَلَ, q. v.]: one should not say of a camel أَرْسَمَ, for this latter verb is trans. (Ṣ.)

Also رَسَمَ نَحْوَهُ, inf. n. رَسْمٌ, He went, or went away, quickly towards him, or it. (TA.)

And رَسَمَ فِى الأَرْضِ, (Ḳ,) inf. n. رَسْمٌ, (TA,) He disappeared in the land, or country: (Ḳ:) and [hence], used metonymically, ‡ he died; like رَزَمَ. (TA.)

تَرْسِيمٌ [inf. n. of رَسَّمَ] The act of marking, or stamping, [and of drawing, tracing, tracing out, sketching, sketching out, or planning, several things, or of doing so much, or] well:: and writing [much, or] well: and making a garment, or piece of cloth, striped. (KL.)

ارسم He caused a she-camel to make marks upon the ground (M, Ḳ) by the vehemence of her tread. (M.)

And He made a camel to go the pace termed رَسِيم (Ṣ. [The meaning is there indicated, but not expressed.]) فَأَرْسَمَا ending a verse of Homeyd Ibn-Thowr [which is variously related] refers to two boys, or young men, mentioned therein, and means فَأَرْسَمَا بَعِيرَيْهِمَا [And they made their two camels to go the pace termed رَسِيم]. (AḤát, TA.)

ترسّم, (Ḳ, but omitted in some copies,) or ترسّم الرَّسْمَ, (M,) He looked at the رَسْمِ [or mark, trace, relic,, &c.]. (M, Ḳ.) And ترسّم الدَّارَ He considered, or examined, the رُسُوم [or marks, traces, relics,, &c.,] of the house, or dwelling; (Ṣ, TA;*) or did so repeatedly, in order to obtain a clear knowledge thereof. (TA.)

And in like manner ترسّم signifies He looked, and considered, or examined, or did so repeatedly, in order to know where he should dig, or build. (Ṣ, TA.) Hence, تَرَسَّمَتِ القَنَافِذُ فِى الأَرْضِ ‡ The hedge-hogs looked, or considered, or examined, repeatedly, to know where they should make their holes. (TA.) And ترسّم الشَّىْءَ † He looked, or looked long, at the thing; or considered, or examined, it, or did so repeatedly, in order to obtain a clear knowledge of it. (TA.) And ترسّم القَصِيدَةَ ‡ He considered, or studied, the ode, and retained it in his memory, or sought, or endeavoured, to remember it. (Ḳ,* TA.) And أَنَا أَتَرَسَّمُ كَذَا † I remember, or I seek, or endeavour, to remember, such a thing, but am not sure, or certain, of it. (TA.)

اِرْتِسَامٌ [in its primary sense, as quasi-pass. of رَسْمٌ, inf. n. of رَسَمَ, is app. post-classical, but, as such,] is used by the logicians as meaning The being stamped and depicted [in the mind]: (“Dict. of the Technical Terms used in the sciences of the Musalmans:”) an image's being fixed in, or upon, a thing. (KL.) [It is used, in this sense, of an image formed by the fancy, and of any ideal image.]

[Also ‡ The obeying a prescript or command, &c.] You say, رَسَمْتُ لَهُ كَذَا, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or بِكَذَا, (Mṣb,) فَٱرْتَسَمَ, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) or فَٱرْتَسَمَهُ, (Ṣ,) ‡ [I prescribed to him the doing of such a thing; or] I commanded, ordered, bade, or enjoined, him to do such a thing, (Ḳ, TA,) and he obeyed (Ṣ, Mṣb, TA) it [i. e. the prescript, &c.]. (Ṣ, Mṣb.) Andأَنَا أَرْتَسِمُ مَرَاسِمَكَ↓ ‡ [I obey thy prescripts, &c.;] I do not transgress thy مراسم. (TA.)

And hence, (TA,) ارتسم signifies also ‡ He said اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرْ [God is great, or most great]: (Ṣ, M, Ḳ, TA:) and he sought protection or preservation [by God]: (M, Ḳ, TA;) and he prayed or supplicated or petitioned [God]: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) as though [meaning] he took the course prescribed by God, of having recourse to Him for protection or preservation. (TA.) El-Aạshà says, [speaking of wine,]

* وَقَابَلَهَا الرِيحَ فِى دَنِّهَا *

* وَصَلَّى عضلَى دَنِّهَا وَٱرْتَسَمْ *

(Ṣ, M, TA,) or وَأَقْبَلَهَا, (so in some copies of the Ṣ in this art. and in art. صلو, and in the Mgh, also, in the latter art.,) i. e. [And he exposed it to the wind, in its jar, and he prayed over its jar,] and petitioned for it (TA in this art. and in art. صلو) that it might not become sour, nor spoil: (TA in the latter art.:) AḤn says that ارتسم means he stamped its vessel with the رَوْسَم; but this saying is not valid: (M, TA:) [and Mṭr, also, says that] ارتسم, here, is from الرَّوْسَمُ, and means he stamped it. (Mgh in art. صلو.)

رَسْمٌ inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (Mṣb, &c.)

[Hence رَسْمُ المُصْحَفِ The writing of the book of the Ḳur-án; for which particular rules are prescribed.]

[of pauc.] of رَسْمٌ is أَرْسُمٌ and [the pl. of mult. is] رُسُومٌ. (M, Mṣb, Ḳ.)
