سَدَلَهُ, aor. ـُ {يَسْدُلُ}, (Ṣ, M, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) and ـِ, (M, Ḳ,) inf. n. سَدْلٌ, (Ṣ, M, Mgh, Mṣb,) He let it loose, let it down, lowered it, or let it fall; (Ṣ, M, Ḳ;) namely, his garment, (Ṣ, M,) and hair, (Fr, M, Ḳ,) and a veil, or curtain; (M;) and سَدَنَهُ signifies the same; (Fr, TA;) as alsoاسدلهُ↓; (M, Ḳ;) or this latter is a mistake; (Mgh; [but this the author asserts because, he says, he had searched through books without finding it except in the “Nahj-el-Balághah;”]) not allowable; (Mṣb;) and the former signifies he let it down, or let it fall, namely, the garment, without drawing together its two sides: (Mgh, Mṣb:) or, as some say, he threw it upon his head, and let it loose, let it down, or let it fall, upon his shoulders: (Mgh:) and he let it down, or let it fall, namely, hair, not مَعْقُوف [i. e. made recurvate at the extremities], nor tied in knots: (Lth, TA:) and one says also, يَزْدُلُ ثَوْبَهُ, changing the س into ز. (Sb, M.) The سَدْل that is forbidden in prayer is The letting down one's garment without drawing together its two sides: or the enveloping oneself with his garment, and putting his arms within, and bowing the head and body, and prostrating oneself, in that state; as the Jews used to do; and this applies uniformly to the shirt and other garments: or the putting the middle of the إِزَار [or waist-wrapper] upon the head, and letting fall its two ends upon one's right and left, without making it to be upon his two shoulder-blades. (TA.) سَدَلَ عِمَامَتَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ is said in a trad. [as meaning He made the end of his turban to hang down between his two shoulder-blades]. (Mgh.) And one says also,سدّل↓ شَعَرَهُ عَلَى عَاتِقَيْهِ وَعُنُقِهِ, [meaning He let his hair fall down abundant and long upon his shoulders and his neck,] inf. n. تَسْدِيلٌ. (ISh, TA. [See its pass. part. n., voce مُنْسَدِلٌ.])

Also, aor. ـِ {يَسْدِلُ}, (M, Ḳ,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He slit it, or rent it; namely, his garment. (M, Ḳ.)

And سَدَلَ فِى البِلَادِ, (O, Ḳ,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He went away into the countries, or provinces. (O, Ḳ.)

انسدل [and accord. to Freytagتسدّل↓ also, but he names no authority for this, and I have not found it in any MṢ. lexicon, but it is agreeable with analogy as quasi-pass. of 2,] It was let loose, let down, lowered, or let fall; said of hair [&c.]. (MA, KL.)

And انسدل يَعُدُو He was somewhat quick, or made some haste, running; like انسدر; the ر and ل being app. interchangeable. (Ḥar p. 576.)

In a verse of Homeyd Ibn-Thowr, as it is related by Yaạḳoob, السُّدُول is used as a sing., because it is of a measure which is [in some instances] that of a sing., such as السُّدُوس, meaning a sort of garment: but others relate it differently, saying السَّدِيل, which is correctly a sing. (M.) [See also سِدْنٌ.]
