جَنَى

[1] جَنَى الثَّمَرَةَ , (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. جَنِىَ , (S, Msb,) inf. n. جَنًى, (S, TA,) or جَنْىٌ, (so accord. to one copy of the S, and written in the accus. case جنيا in the Ham p. 355,) and جِنَايَةٌ, (Ham ib., but there without any vowel-signs,) He gathered, plucked, or took from the tree, the fruit; (Mgh, TA;) i. q. ↓ اجتناها (S, Msb, K) and ↓ تجنّاها: (K:) and in like manner one says of a thing similar to fruit. (TA.) One says also, جَنَاهَا لَهُ and جَنَاهُ إِيَّاهَا [He gathered it, plucked it, or took it from the tree, for him]. (A'Obeyd, K.) And جَنَيْتُكَ أَكْمُؤًا [I gathered for thee truffles]. (TA.) And جَنَى ذَهَبًا He collected gold from its mine. (TA.) ― 2-b2- Aboo-Dhu-eyb uses this verb metaphorically, in the phrase جَنَى العُلَى, meaning (tropical:) [He acquired] eminence, or nobility. (TA.) ― 2-b3- You also say, جَنَى عَلَيْهِ, (S,) or عَلَى قَوْمِهِ, (Msb,) inf. n. جِنَايَةٌ, (S, Msb,) (tropical:) He committed, [against him, or] against his people, or party, a crime, or an offence for which he should be punished; (Msb;) as also ↓ جاناهُ [or جانى قَوْمِهِ]: (TK in art. جر:) [and (tropical:) he brought an injury upon him, or them:] and جَنَى الذَّنْبِ عَلَيْهِ, aor. جَنِىَ , inf. n. جِنَايَةٌ, (K,) with kesr, (TA,) (tropical:) He committed the crime, offence, or injurious action, against him; syn. جَرَّهُ إِلَيْهِ: (K: [see art. جر:]) thus used, also, the verb is metaphorical, from جَنَى الثَّمَرَةَ: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and so in the phrase, جَنَى شَرًّا, meaning (tropical:) He brought to pass an evil thing or action. (Mgh.) [See also جِنَايَةٌ, below.] It is said in a trad., لَا يَجْنِى جَانٍ إِلَّا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ (assumed tropical:) [An injurer shall not bring injury save on himself]; meaning that one shall not be prosecuted for an injurious action committed by another, of his relations or of others. (TA.) And a poet says, جَانِيكَ مَنْ يَجْنِى عَلَيْكَ وَقَدْ تُعْدِي الصِّجَاحَ فَتَجْرَبُ الجُرْبُ [which may be rendered, (assumed tropical:) Thine injurer whom thou shouldst punish is he who brings an injury upon thee: but sometimes the mangy camels infect the sound ones so that these become mangy; and thus a criminal sometimes brings punishment upon his relations: for] A'Obeyd says that جانيك من يجنى عليك is a prov. applied to the case of a man who is punished for an injurious action; because brothers [sometimes] bring injury upon a man [by occasioning his being punished for an injurious action which they have themselves committed], as the latter hemistich of the verse cited above indicates: but AHeyth says that this prov. means الجَانِى لَكَ الخَيْرَ مَنْ يَجْنِى عَلَيْكَ الشَّرَّ [The person bringing thee good is he who brings, or will bring, upon thee evil: perhaps intended as a caution; for the Arabs often suspect that a benefactor has some evil intention]: and he cites the following hemistich: تُعْدِي الصِّحَاحَ مَبَارِكُ الجُرْبِ [meaning Sometimes the places where the mangy camels lie down, and which afford benefit to other camels, infect the sound ones]. (TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov., i. 298.]) You say also, جَنَيْتَ هٰذَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ [Thou hast brought this as an injury upon thyself]. (K in art. جل.)
