(O.) You say, سجّل بِهِ He decided it judicially, [and recorded it in the سِجِلّ;] or he decreed it decisively; so expl. by the Shereef: or, as in the 'Ináyeh, he established it and recorded it [in the سِجِلّ].

(Ṣ.) Hence, فُلَانٌ يُسَاجِلُ فُلَانًا ‡ Such a one vies with such a one, each of them producing, [of the evidences] of nobility, the like of what the other produces; the one, of them, that desists being overcome. (IB.) El-Fadl Ibn-ʼAbbás Ibn-'Otbeh Ibn-Abee-Lahab says,

* مَنْ يُسَاجِلْنِى يُسَاجِلْ مَاجِدًا *

* يَمْلَأُ الدَّلْوَ إِلَى عَقْدِ الكَرَبْ *

[He who contends for superiority with me contends for superiority with one possessing glory, who fills the bucket to the tying of the rope that is attacked to the middle of its cross-bars]: and hence the saying, الحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ. (Ṣ. [See سَجْلٌ.])

تساجلوا They vied, competed, or contended for superiority, one with another; emulated, or rivalled, one another; or imitated one another; [originally, in the drawing of water: and hence, † in other things: (see 3:)] (Ṣ, TA:) and هُمَا يَتَسَاجَلَانِ They two vie,, &c., each with the other. (Ḳ.)

انسجل It (water) poured out, or forth; or became poured out, or forth; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) [app., continuously: see 1.]

سَجْلٌ A full bucket: so accord. to Az and El-Fárábee and others: (MṢ:) or a bucket containing water, whether little or much: such as is empty is not called سَجْلٌ nor ذَنُوبٌ: (Ṣ:) or a great bucket: (Mṣb: [see also سَجِيلٌ:]) or a great bucket that is full (Ḳ, TA) of water: (TA:) and a bucketful; the quantity that fills a bucket: (Ḳ:) it is of the masc. gender [though دَلْوٌ (the most common word for “a bucket”) is generally fem.]: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) pl. سِجَالٌ. (Ṣ.)

And [hence,] † A share, or portion; (Mṣb;) like دَلَاةٌ [which likewise originally signifies “a bucket”]. (Ṣ in art. دلو. [See also سَجِيلٌ.]) And hence is derived the saying, الحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ, [as though meaning † War is an affair of shares, or portions;] i. e. the victory in war is shared by turns among the people [engaged therein]: (Mṣb:) [but it is implied in the Ṣ that it is from المُسَاجَلَةُ, and that سِجَالٌ is here an inf. n. like مُسَاجَلَةٌ, agreeably with analogy; and if so, the saying may be rendered war is a contention for superiority: (see 3:)] or the saying الحَرْبُ بَيْنَهُمْ سِجَالٌ means † [War between them consists of portions, in such a manner that] a سَجْل [or portion] thereof is against these, and another is against these: (Ḳ:) originating from the act of two men drawing water with two buckets from a well, each of them having [in his turn] a full bucket. (TA.) You say also, أَعْطَاهُ سَجْلَهُ مِنْ كَذَا ‡ He gave him his share, or portion, of such a thing; like as one says, ذَنُوبَهُ. (Ḥar p. 19.) The phraseسَجْلٌ سَجِيلٌ↓ in the saying لَهُمْ مِنَ المَجْدِ سَجْلٌ سَجِيلٌ (Ḳ,* TA) has an intensive signification; (Ḳ, TA;) [the saying app. meaning † They have, of glory, a large share.]

Hence likewise, metaphorically applied to signify ‡ A gift: one says جَوَادٌ عَظِيمُ السَّجْلِ ‡ [A bountiful man who is large in gift]. (Ḥar ibid. [The first word in this saying is there written جوّاد.]) One says also, لَهُ بِرٌّ فَائِضُ السِّجَالِ † [He has overflowing goodness or beneficence]. (TA.)

Also † A bountiful man. (Abu-l-ʼOmeythil, Ḳ.)

And † A great udder: pl. سِجَالٌ and سُجُولٌ. (Ḳ.)
