بُطْلٌ and بُطُولٌ and بُطْلَانٌ, [of which the last

naught, futile, worthless, useless, unprofitable,
(KL, PS,) devoid of virtue or efficacy, ineffectual, null, void, of no force, or of no account;

account, (S, Msb, K,) or as a thing that had
perished or become lost. (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. (Er-Rághib, TA.) ―
