(K.) [It is said of an assertion or allegation and the like, and of a deed, &c.] Hence the saying in the Quran [vii. 115], وَ بَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ [And what they were doing became vain, or null; or went for nothing, as a thing of no account]. (TA.) And ذَهَبَ دَمُهُ بُطْلًا His blood went for nothing, [unretaliated, and uncompensated by a mulet,] as a thing of no account. (S, Msb.) And بَطَلَ دَمُهُ [signifies the same; or] He was slain without there being obtained for him either blood-revenge or blood-wit.

(S, Msb, * K, KL.

(TA.) ― 2-b6- See also 2. ― 2-b7- بَطَلَ فِى حَدِيثِهِ, (K,) aor. يَبْطُلُ ; so it seems to be from the context in the K, but correctly بَطِلَ, aor. يَبْطَلُ , as in the Jm; (TA;) inf. n. بَطَالَةٌ (K) [and app. بُطُولٌ also; see بَطَّالٌ]; He jested, or joked, or was not serious or in earnest, in his discourse; as also ↓ ابطل.
