Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

شَلَّتْ يَمِينُهُ, (Ṣ, O,) or يَدُهُ, (Mgh, TA,) or اليَدُ, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) originally شَلِلَتْ, (Mgh, Mṣb, TA,) aor. تَشَلُّ, (Ṣ, O, &c.,) inf. n. شَلَلٌ (Ṣ,* O,* Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ) and شَلٌّ, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) or the latter is not allowable; (Ḥam p. 69;) this is the chaste form of the verb; (Th, TA;) andأُشِلَّتْ↓; (Th, Ḳ;) and شُلَّتْ, (Th, O, Ḳ,) but this last is bad, (Th, O, TA,) and is disallowed by Fr; (TA;) His right hand or arm, or his hand or arm, or the hand or arm, was, or became, unsound, or vitiated: (Ṣ, O, TA:) or deprived of the power of motion by an unsound, or a vitiated, state of its عُرُوق [meaning veins or nerves]: (Mṣb:) or dried up; or stiff: or it went [or wasted] away. (Ḳ, TA.) One says, in praying for a person, لَا تَشْلَلْ يَدُكَ [May thy hand, or arm, not become unsound,, &c.]: (Ṣ, Mṣb,* Ḳ:*) and لَا شَلَلًا andلَا شَلَالِ↓, which mean the same; the last word like قَطَامِ. (Ḳ.) And شَلَّ عَشْرُهُ, and خَمْسُهُ, [His ten fingers became unsound,, &c., and his five fingers,] and some say شَلَّتْ, but this is more rare; i. e., the suppression of the fem. ت is more usual in a case of this kind. (Lḥ, TA.) To one who has shot or thrown, or who has pierced or thrust, well, one says, لَا شَلَلًا وَلَا عَمًى [Mayest thou not experience unsoundness,, &c., nor blindness]; and لَا شَلَّ عَشْرُكَ [May thy ten fingers not become unsound,, &c.], meaning أَصَابِعُكَ. (Ṣ, O.) He who says شَلَّ المَارِنُ and شَلَّتِ الأُذُنُ is a foreigner. (Mgh.) The lawyers [improperly] use الشَّلَل in relation to the ذَكَر. (Mṣb.) One says also, شَلِلْتَ يَا رَجُلُ [Thou hast become unsound,, &c., in thy hand or thine arm, O man]. (Ṣ, O.) And لَا شَلَلَ, meaning لَا تَشْلَلْ, because it occupies the place of an imperative. (Lth, TA.) In the saying of the rájiz, (Ṣ,) namely, Abu-l-Khudree El-Yarboo'ee, (O, TA,)

* مُهْرَ أَبِى الجَبْحَابِ لَا تَشَلِّى *

[Colt of Abu-l-Habháb, mayest thou not become unsound, &c., in the fore leg], (Ṣ, TA, [in the O, ابى الحَرِثِ, for ابى الحٰرِثِ,]) the last word is thus [for لا تَشْلَلْ] on account of the rhyme: (Ṣ, O, TA:) [for] the next hemistich is

* بَارَكَ فِيكَ ٱللّٰهُ مِنْ ذِى أَلِّ *

[God bless thee as one possessing fleetness, or swiftness]; (O, TA;) ذى الّ in this instance meaning ذى سُرْعَةٍ. (Ṣ in art. ال.)

شَلَّهُ; (Ḳ;) and شَلَلْتُ الإِبِلَ, (Ṣ, O,) and الرَّجُلَ; (Mṣb;) aor. ـُ {يَشْلُلُ}, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) inf. n. شَلٌّ (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ *) and شَلَلٌ, (Ḳ,* and Ksh in xii. 3,) like as قَصَصٌ is inf. n. of قَصَّ, (Ksh ibid.,) or شَلَلٌ is a simple subst.; (Ṣ, O;) He drove him away; (Ḳ;) and I drove away (Ṣ, O, Mṣb) the camels, (Ṣ, O,) and the man. (Mṣb.) And مَرَّ فُلَانٌ يَشُلُّهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ Such a one passed along urging them on, and driving them, with the sword. (Ṣ.) [See also 4.]
