(S, TA.) One says, عَفَا الأَثَرُ The trace, vestige, or footprint, was, or became, effaced, &c. (TA.) And [hence,] عَفَا أَثَرُهُ, inf. n. عَفَآءٌ, He perished, or died. (K.) And عَفَا المَنْزِلُ, aor. as above. (S, Msb,) and so the inf. ns. as in the first sentence, (Msb,) the place of alighting, or abode, was, or became effaced, &c., (S, Msb:) and عَفَت الدَّارُ. aor. تعْفُو, inf. a عَفَآءٌ and عُفُوٌّ [and عَفْوٌ]: (TA;) and ↓ تَعَفَّت, (S, TA.) and ↓ عَفَّت also; (TA;) The house, or dwelling, or abode, was, or became, effaced, &c. (S, TA) A'Obeyd cites, as an ex. of العَفَآءُ signifying the being, or becoming, effaced, &c., and the perishing, &c., the saying of Zuheyr, (S, TA.) mentioning a dwelling, or an abode, (TA.) تَحَمَّلُ أَهُلَهَا عَنْهَا فَبَانُوا عَلَى آثَارِ مَا ذَهَبَ العَفَآءُ [Its occupants departed from it, and separated themselves, or removed far away; may the state of that which is effaced, &c., be or rest, upon the traces of what has gone away; or the meaning may be, dust is upon the traces &c., (see عَفَآءٌ as a subst., below;) but it is not thus accord to A 'Obeyd; for] he says, This is like their saying عَلَيْهِ الدَّبَارُ as an imprecation against one expressing a prayer that he may go away and not return. (S, TA.) MF says that عَفَا is one of those verbs that have contr. significations, for at signifies It was, or became, unapparent, or imperceptible and also It was, or became, apparent, or perceptible: and it has two other contr. significations, which will be mentioned in what follows (TA.) ― 2-b2- And عَفْوٌ signifies also The act of effacing, erasing, rasing, or obliterating. (K, TA.) One says, عَفَتِ الرِّيحُ الأَثَرَ, (TA,) or المَنْزِلَ, (S, Msb,) and الدَّارَ, (TA,) the wind effaced, &c, (S, Msb, TA,) the trace, vestige, or footprint, (TA,) or the place of alighting, or abode, (S, Msb,) and the house, or dwelling, or abode: (TA:) and in like manner, عَفَّتِ ↓ الرِّيحُ الدَّارَ, (S, TA,) inf. n. تَعْفِيَةٌ, (TA,) in which the verb is with teshdeed to denote intensiveness [of the signification, i. e. the wind effaced, &c., mightily, or utterly, the house, or dwelling, or abode]: (S, TA:) and عَفَّى ↓ عَلَى أَثَرِهِ It, or he, effaced its, or his, trace, vestige, or footprint. (MA.) ― 2-b3- Hence, as some say, عَفَا ٱللّٰهُ عَنْكَ i. e. May God efface [from thee thy sin, &c.; meaning may God absolve thee]; (TA;) or may God efface thy sins: (Msb:) [and عُفِىَ عَنْهُ May he be absolved, or forgiven, or pardoned:] and hence the saying in a trad., سَلُوا ٱللّٰهَ العَفْوَ i. e. [Ask ye of God] the effacement of sin; [or ask ye of God absolution, or forgiveness, or pardon;] and ↓ المُعَافَاةَ, and ↓ العَافِيَةَ [which have a similar meaning: see 3]: (TA:) and one says, عَفَوْتُ عَنْ ذَنْبِهِ, meaning I left him, and did not punish him: (S:) or عَفَوْتُ عَنْهُ and عَفَوْتُ عَنْ ذَنْبِهِ and عَفَوْتُ لَهُ عَنْ ذَنْبِهِ i. e. I turned away from him, or from his crime, sin, fault, or offence; syn. صَفَحْتُ عَنْهُ; and I turned away (أَعْرَضْتُ) from punishing him: (Mgh:) or العَفْوُ signifies the turning away (الصَّفْحُ, K, TA) from the committer of a crime or the like; (TA;) and the relinquishing the punishment of the deserving [thereof]: and one says, عَفَا عَنْهُ and عَفَا لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ and عَنْ ذَنْبِهِ [he turned away from him, or from his crime, &c; and relinquished the infliction of his merited punishment, i. e. forgave him, or pardoned him]: (K, TA:) or عَفَا عَنْهُ ذَنْبَهُ and عَفَا لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ and عَنْ ذَنْبِهِ: (so accord. to the CK:) accord. to MF, the primary signification of العَفْوُ is التَّرْكُ: but this is not the case: and الصَّفْحُ [by which it is expl. in the K] is [or rather implies] the relinquishing of blame, or reproof, or of severe, or angry, blame or reproof; and this is more than [is signified by] العَفْوُ, for the latter is sometimes without the former: the primary signification of العَفْوُ [when trans.] is [said to be] the purposing to take a thing; and Er-Rághib says that عَفَوْتُ عَنْكَ is as though it meant I have purposed to remove [or to take away] thy crime or the like: (TA:) [but I think that the primary signification of العَفْوُ when its object is a crime or the like is that of effacement: and hence likewise what next follows:] ― 2-b4- العَفْوُ is also metaphorically used as meaning (tropical:) The withdrawing from a right, or due, and from seeking, or demanding, it: and thus the verb is used in the Kur ii. 238 [q. v.]: and in the saying of the Prophet, عَفَوْنَا لَكُمْ عَنْ صَدَقَةِ الخَيْلِ وَالرَّقِيقِ [i. e. (tropical:) We have remitted to you the poor-rate of horses and of the slave or slaves]: (Mgh:) [and hence] عَفَوْتُ عَنِ الحَقِّ means (assumed tropical:) I have annulled [or remitted] the right, or due; as though I erased it from [the account of] him who owed it: (Msb:) and عَفَوْتُ لَهُ عَنْ مَا لِى عَلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) I have relinquished [or remitted] to him what was due to me on his part. (TA.) ＝ 1-A2- عَفَا signifies also It was, or became, much in quantity, or many in number: (Msb, MF, TA:) and also the contr., i. e. It was, or became, little in quantity, or few in number. (MF, TA.) It is said in the former sense of hair, and of herbage, &c.: (S:) or, said of hair, It was, or became, long, and much in quantity; (TA;) and said of the hair of a camel, (K,) or of the hair of a camel's back, (TA,) it became abundant and long, and covered his rump; (K, TA;) and said of herbage, it was, or became, much in quantity, and tall. (TA.) And عَفَوْا in the Kur vii. 93 means They became many, or numerous. (S, Msb.) And عَفَتِ الأَرْضُ The land became covered with herbage. (K and TK. [In the CK, والارضَ is erroneously put for وَالأَرْضُ.]) ― 2-b2- And عَفَوْتُهُ I made it to become much in quantity, or many in number; as also ↓ أَعْفَيْتُهُ; (S, * Msb, TA; *) and so ↓ عَفَّيْتُهُ. (TA.) Accord. to Es-Sarakustee, one says, عَفَوْتُ الشَّعَرَ, aor. أَعْفُوهُ, inf. n. عَفْوٌ; and عَفَيْتُهُ, aor. أَعْفِيهِ, inf. n. عَفَىٌ; meaning I left the hair to become abundant and long. (Msb.) And one says, اعفى ↓ اللِّحْيَةَ He left the beard to become abundant and long, (Mgh, K, TA,) having ceased from cutting it: (Mgh:) whence, (TA,) it is said in a trad., أَمَرَ أَنْ تُحْفَى الشَّوَارِبُ وَتُعْفَى اللُّحَى [He commanded that the mustaches should be clipped closely, or much, and that the beards should be left to become abundant and long]: (S, TA:) or أَحْفُوا الشَّوَارِبَ وَأَعْفُوا اللِّحَى [Clip ye &c.], and one may also use the unaugmented verb [saying وَٱعْفُوا, from عَفَا]. (Msb, TA.) And أَعْفَيْتُ ↓ شَعَرَ البَعِيرِ, (K,) or شَعَرَ ظَهْرِ البَعِيرِ, (TA,) I left the hair of the camel, or the hair of the back of the camel, to become abundant and long; as also ↓ عَفَّيْتُهُ; (K, TA;) this latter with teshdeed. (TA. [In the CK, عَفَيْتُهُ.]) عَفَا الصُّوفَ, expl. in the K as signifying He shore, or sheared, the wool, signifies he left the wool to become abundant and long, then shore, or sheared, it. (TA.) ＝ 1-A3- Also, inf. n. عَفْوٌ, i. q. فَضَلَ or superfluous; or it remained over and above]. (Msb.) You say, خُذْ مَا صَفَا وَعَفَا, [correctly, مَا عَفَا وَصَفَا,] meaning فَضَلَ وَتَسَهَّلَ [i. e. Take thou what has exceeded, or become redundant, and has become facilitated]. (Mgh.) ― 2-b2- [And He exceeded.] You say, عَفَا عَلَيْهِ فِى العِلْمِ He exceeded him in knowledge; syn. زَادَ. (K.) And هُوَ يَعْفُو عَلَى مُنْيَةِ المُتَمَنِّى وَسُؤَالِ السَّائِلِ He exceeds, in giving, the wish of the wisher and the petition of the petitioner. (TA.) And عَفَوْتُ لَهُ بِمَالِى I exceeded to him [what was incumbent on me] with my property, and gave him. (TA.) ― 2-b3- And عَفَا, aor. يَعْفُو, signifies also [simply] He gave. (TA.) And ↓ اعفاهُ He gave to him, namely, one seeking, or demanding, his beneficence. (Ham pp. 377 and 723.) And اعفاهُ ↓ بِحَقِّهِ He gave to him fully, or wholly, his right, or due. (Har p. 117.) ― 2-b4- And عَفَوْتُ لَهُ مِنَ المَرَقِ I laded out for him first, and gave to him in preference, some of the broth. (S.
