You say, قَاضَ البَيْضَةَ He (a young bird) clave, or broke asunder, the egg: and he (a bird) clave, or broke asunder, the egg from over the young one. (Lth, A,* TA.) And it is said in a trad, respecting the day of resurrection, فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذٰلِكَ قِيضَتْ هٰذِهِ السَّمَآءُ الدُّنُبَا عَنْ أَهْلِهَا, i. e., [And when it shall be thus, this lowest heaven shall be cleft, or rent asunder, from over its inhabitants, meaning the inhabitants of the earth (الأَرْض), which is previously mentioned in the trad.:] or, as Sh says, shall be dissolved. (TA.)

قيّض لَهُ كَذَا He (God, Mṣb) ordained, or appointed, for him such a thing. (Mgh, Mṣb.) And قيّض ٱللّٰهُ فُلَانًا لِفُلَانٍ, (Ṣ, A, Ḳ,) in [some of] the copies of the Ḳ, بِفُلَانٍ, which is a mistake, (TA,) God ordained, or appointed, or prepared, such a one for such a one: (A:) or brought such a one to such a one, and ordained, or appointed, or prepared, him for him. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) Hence the saying in the Ḳur, [xli. 24,] (Ṣ,) وَقَيَّضْنَا لَهُمْ قُرَنَآءَ (Ṣ, Ḳ) And we have appointed, or prepared, for them associates (A,* Bḍ,* Ḳ, TA) whence they do not expect, (A, Ḳ, TA,) which shall have possession of them like as the قَيْض, or shell, has possession of the egg. (Bḍ.) And so in the same, [xliii. 35,] نُقَيِّضْ لَهُ شَيْطَانًا We will appoint, or prepare, for him a devil [as an associate]. (Zj.) Accord. to some, the verb is used only as relating to evil; but this is not true, as is shown by the saying of Moḥammad, مَا أَكْرَمَ شَابٌّ شَيْخًا لِسِنِّهِ إِلَّا قَيَّضَ ٱللّٰهُ لَهُ عِنْدَ سِنِّهِ مَنْ يَكْرِمُهُ [A young man hath not honoured an aged man for his age but God hath appointed for him in his age such as shall honour him].

(TA.) You say, قايضهُ بِكَذَا [He gave him in exchange for such a thing]. (Mgh.) Hence, بَيْعُ المُقَايَضَةِ The selling a commodity for another commodity. (Mgh.) And hence the saying of Moḥammad, إِنْ شِئْتَ قَايَضْتُكَ بِهِ المُخْتَارَةَ مِنْ دُروُعِ خَيْبَرَ, orأَقِيضُكَ↓ بِهِ, accord. to different relations; i. e. [If thou wilt,] I will give thee in exchange for it [the choice of the coats of mail of Kheyber]. (TA.)
